Elements vs Molecule

Hikaru is Freed – The Fight Continues

The metal cuffs snapped open, and Hikaru stumbled forward, the energy-dampening restraints finally removed.

Haruto caught him before he could collapse. "You good?"

Hikaru took a deep breath, flexing his fingers as light flickered faintly around his hands.

"…Yeah."

Reito adjusted his gloves. "Then get back in the fight."

Molecule, still trapped by Daichi's earth shackles, snarled as he saw the group regrouping.

"Oh, great," he muttered. "The whole gang's here."

Daichi gritted his teeth, tightening the stone shackles. "You're not getting out of this."

Molecule grinned. "Wanna bet?"

And then—he shrank.

The stone shackles crumbled, unable to contain him as his body condensed to the size of a bug.

Then—he grew instantly, appearing behind Daichi.

BOOM!

His massive fist crashed into Daichi's back, sending him skidding across the battlefield.

Molecule cracked his neck. "Alright. Let's do this properly."

The fight restarted.

Fighting Without Teshii

Hikaru and the others spread out, surrounding Molecule.

"Damn," Ikazuchi muttered. "For once, I actually wish Teshii was here."

Haruto rolled his shoulders. "We'll have to manage without him."

Moriya nodded. "We'll make it work."

Reito's ice-blue eyes narrowed. "Let's take him down."

They rushed in together.

Hikaru blasted beams of light, forcing Molecule to dodge.Haruto used high-pressure water blades to cut off his movements.Reito froze sections of the ground, limiting his escape routes.Ikazuchi sent bolts of lightning, keeping the pressure on.Moriya created vines and wooden spikes, trying to pin him down.

It was a relentless attack.

But Molecule was adaptable.

He shrank to dodge attacks, then grew again to strike with devastating power.

For every hit they landed, he would counter twice as hard.

Hikaru gritted his teeth. We need to end this.

Then—

Daichi rose to his feet.

And he had a plan.

Golem of the Desert – Daichi's Finishing Move

Daichi wiped blood from his lip, his hands pressing against the earth beneath him.

The ground rumbled.

The air became thick with energy.

Molecule paused, sensing the shift. "What the hell—?"

Daichi's eyes glowed with golden light.

And then—

The ground exploded upward.

Rising from the earth, a massive stone figure emerged—towering over the battlefield.

Its entire body was composed of hardened desert stone, ancient carvings glowing faintly on its rocky surface.

Daichi stepped forward, raising a hand.

"Golem of the Desert."

The massive stone giant responded to his command, its eyes flickering to life.

Molecule's cocky grin vanished. "…Oh, shit."

Daichi didn't hesitate.

"CRUSH HIM."

The Golem roared, slamming its massive fists down toward Molecule.

Molecule shrunk instantly, dodging between the cracks—but Daichi was ready.

He stomped the ground, sealing the cracks before Molecule could escape.

Molecule enlarged again—only to realize he was trapped.

"…Crap."

BOOM!

The Golem's fists connected, sending a devastating impact through the ground.

Dust and debris shot into the air.

For a long moment, there was silence.

The Elements watched closely, waiting to see if Molecule was truly down.

Then—

A small figure darted out of the dust.

Molecule, shrinking himself to escape, landed a few feet away, panting.

"Tch," he muttered. "Didn't expect that."

He looked at the team, then at the massive Golem still standing.

Molecule clicked his tongue.

"Sinister X won't be happy about this."

Then, before anyone could stop him—he shrank instantly and vanished into the wind.

The battle was over.

Daichi exhaled, lowering his hand.

The Golem slowly crumbled, returning to the earth.

The Elements stood victorious.

But one thing was clear—

This wasn't the last time they would see Molecule.

And Sinister X?

He was still out there.

Watching.

Waiting.

Planning.
