The Last Stand of the Zypherons
Speed Villain
Chapter 10: The Last Stand of the Zypherons
---
A Battlefield in the Sky
The sky was a storm of fire and wreckage. Explosions rippled through the air as the Zypheron warships spiraled out of control, their once-mighty fleet falling apart one by one.
Kael-X hovered in the air, untouched, his long silver hair flowing in the chaos.
The warships had come to enslave him again.
Instead, they were being wiped out.
> He wasn't running anymore.
He was fighting back.

The War Council's Desperation
Inside the Zypheron mothership, a council of high-ranking officers watched the massacre in shock.
"This is impossible!" one roared. "He's just one fugitive!"
"Not anymore," another muttered, watching the battlefield. "He's become something else. Something worse."
> "He's become the Speed Villain."
They turned to their Commander, an old warrior with battle-worn scars and cold, calculating eyes.
"He's outmatched the fleet," an officer said. "Our weapons can't hit him. He's too fast."
The Commander remained silent for a long moment.
Then he issued the final order.
"Prepare the Null Sphere."

The Final Trap
Kael-X was a storm of destruction.
One moment, he was inside a warship, tearing apart its reactors.
The next, he was on another ship, kicking through its engines, sending it crashing into the ocean below.
> He was faster than light. Faster than thought. Faster than their reality could process.
But then—
He felt it.
A shift.
Something wrong.
The sky rippled, and a massive spherical device emerged from the mothership.
It was made of glowing black metal, pulsing with alien energy.
And then—
Everything stopped.
---
The Null Sphere Effect
Kael-X's vision blurred. His legs felt heavy.
It was as if the universe had slowed him down.
He tried to move—tried to push forward—but something was dragging him down, locking him in place.
The Null Sphere was bending the very fabric of speed itself.
"You can't run anymore," the Zypheron Commander's voice boomed from the mothership.
Kael-X's breathing quickened.
He had never—never—been forced to stop before.
> So this is their ultimate weapon…
But the Zypherons weren't waiting.
Hundreds of plasma cannons locked onto him.
And then—
They fired.

Surviving the Onslaught
A wall of energy blasts closed in on Kael-X from all directions.
Under normal circumstances, he would dodge them effortlessly.
But here—trapped in the Null Sphere—he was too slow.
The first blast hit him.
> BOOM!
A shockwave tore through the sky.
Then another.
And another.
A hundred plasma bolts rained down on him, each one powerful enough to level a city.
Smoke and fire consumed the air, and for the first time—
Kael-X fell.
---
A Hero's Fall?
The battlefield went silent.
The Zypherons watched as Kael-X's body plummeted toward the Earth.
Had they finally done it?
Had they stopped him?
The Commander smirked.
"It's over."
> Then the smoke cleared.
And Kael-X was still there.
His body was smoking, his jacket burned, his face bruised.
But he was grinning.
> "Nice trick," he muttered.
Then he vanished.
---
Breaking the Limit Again
The Null Sphere trembled.
The Zypheron scientists panicked, shouting about energy fluctuations.
"He's accelerating!" one screamed. "It's not possible!"
Kael-X was moving faster than the sphere's effects could suppress.
He clenched his fists, forcing himself past the limit again.
The air around him cracked.
His body blurred—phased between moments.
> He wasn't just breaking the Null Sphere.
He was breaking time itself.
Then—
> BOOOOOM!
Kael-X shattered the sphere with a single punch.
---
The End of the Zypheron Fleet
The moment the sphere was gone, Kael-X became unstoppable.
He reappeared inside the mothership, right in front of the Commander.
For the first time, the Zypheron warlord looked afraid.
"You should've stayed in the stars," Kael-X said.
Then—
He punched straight through the ship's core.
---
The Aftermath
The mothership exploded, its remains crashing into the ocean.
The remaining warships fled, realizing they could never stop what they had created.
Kael-X stood alone, high above the wreckage.
> He had won.
The war was over.
But deep in space, in the shadows of the universe—
Something else was watching.
And it wasn't afraid.
It was waiting.
---
To Be Continued…
Kael-X has defeated the Zypheron fleet, but now his real battle begins.
Something stronger is coming.
And this time—he won't be the only one with speed.
