Days had passed since the battle against the Titan of Darkness. The world was at peace once more. The scars of war were beginning to fade, and the Guardians could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, they were gathered in a special place: the ancient base of the Guardians, a sanctuary lost in time, once used by their predecessors centuries ago.
The base was hidden deep within a mountain, covered by dense vegetation. However, as they entered, the Guardians were astonished.
— This is incredible… — murmured Lilia as she walked through the metallic corridors.
Despite its age, the technology inside was astonishing. The walls glowed with ancient symbols, and holographic screens were still operational, displaying star maps and records of past missions.
— This technology is far beyond anything we have today. Who were these Guardians? — questioned Boreal, observing a large tactical table at the center of the main hall.
Rock ran his hand over one of the panels.
— They left us a legacy. It's our responsibility to use it wisely.
Luiz Fernando remained silent, analyzing every detail. He felt something different about this place—almost as if the base recognized his presence.
— We can restore this. — he said. — Turn this base into our operations center.
The Guardians nodded. With their combined knowledge, they began activating systems, repairing equipment, and upgrading the base's defenses.
Lythar, the Guardian of Water, discovered ancient records of past battles.
— A woman named Macrona once tried to destroy this world… But there was always someone to stop her.
Lilia looked at Luiz Fernando.
— And now, you are that someone.
He didn't respond immediately. His gaze was fixed on a massive stone wall inside the base, where carvings of the ancient Guardians were etched.
There, he saw the depiction of a blue warrior, wielding a sword of light, facing a colossal shadow.
His destiny had been written long before his existence.
A Dark Revelation
As the Guardians continued their repairs, something unexpected happened.
The monitors in the base flickered. The lights trembled.
And then… a figure appeared on the main screen.
A face shrouded in darkness. Eyes glowing red in the void.
Graus.
— Blue Guardian… — his voice echoed through the base, cold and full of contempt. — You have no idea what's coming. I am coming to reclaim what is mine.
The image flickered and expanded, revealing something that made all the Guardians freeze in place.
An army.
Immense.
A colossal legion of shadowy creatures rose over a horizon tainted with darkness.
Black ships soared across the sky, lightning tearing through the storm clouds. The ground trembled under the synchronized march of Graus' forces.
It was an invasion.
A war that would make the last battle seem like mere preparation.
The screen went black. Silence filled the room.
Luiz Fernando clenched his fists, his aura beginning to surge with power.
Lilia, Boreal, Rock, Ranke, Lythar, Zephyr… They all exchanged glances, feeling the weight of the impending threat.
The peace they had fought for… was about to be shattered.
Then, the screen flickered back on, displaying a single message:
"The final war is only beginning."
THE END! BLUE GUARDIAN.
