⚔️ EPISODE 59 — The Ashes of Those Who Did Not Give Up

🎬 SCENE 1: The Unknown White Zone — The Silence of the Final Battle
They fall.
The setting is white, bottomless, soundless.
Their bodies float in a slow, directionless void.
⚠️ Vaël is barely breathing. His rib cage is fractured.
⚠️ Reck is bleeding from his skull, his right arm missing.
Then... an invisible floor appears, hard as spiritual diamond.
They crash, back to back.
💬 Reck-Zhôr (whispers):
"We didn't fight... we admitted to each other what we didn't want to live through."
💬 Vaël-Mir (sigh):
"You taught me how to kill. Now I know why I have to survive."

🎬 SCENE 2: Final Physical Duel — Battle of nerves and instincts
They get up, trembling.
🗡️ Vaël-Mir's attack:
– Shoulder strike ➜ wrist rotation ➜ plunges a neural knife into the base of the neck.
🔥 Damage: partial paralysis of Reck for 2.7 seconds.
⚔️ Reck-Zhôr's counterattack:
– Knee strike ➜ leg hook ➜ crushes Vaël to the ground with his forehead.
🔥 Damage: his jaw is broken, he loses several teeth, and bleeds profusely.
They get back up again. Bones crack. Skin tears.
But their eyes remain unyielding.

🎬 SCENE 3: Last forbidden techniques
Vaël — Ultimate Forbidden Technique:
🩸 "Synaptic Tragedy"
> She overloads her own brain with memories she has not experienced.
She briefly becomes a version of herself who has survived everything.
Her muscles explode. Her speed triples.
💢 She attacks 11 times in 0.8 seconds.
Reck is pierced in 4 places. One eye destroyed.
Reck — Last Defensive Asset:
🖤 "Absolute Reverse"
> He transforms his pain into a reverse mirror field.
Everything Vaël strikes... is turned against her internal organs.
🔥 Reversed gravity. Broken ribs. Perforated lungs.
Vaël falls. Almost dead.

🎬 SCENE 4: The Last Cry — The Instinct of the Living
As Reck approaches, on his knees, to finish her off... .
Vaël grabs a piece of ground and smashes it against her own skull.
A black pulsation fills the space.
> She gets up, naked with emotion, a single pupil activated: 🔻 "The Eye of She Who Does Not Give Up"
She moves forward slowly.
A single blow.
A single outstretched finger.
She places it on Reck's chest.
> 💬 Vaël (silent sob):
"You taught me how to survive... but I learned to love my survival."
✨ Her finger explodes with cold red energy.
---
🎬 SCENE 5: Shared death, chosen life
Reck-Zhôr falls.
He smiles.
💬 "You have... surpassed me."
His body dissolves. He does not scream. He fades away with dignity.
Vaël falls to her knees, screaming. She is half dead.
But her heart is still beating.

🎬 SCENE 6: End of the Fight — Message from Oxarys
From Oxarien's mental surface, a voice reaches Vaël:
💬 Oxarys:
"You have just redefined combat. You are ready. Join the Hall of Total Memory."
A light envelops her.
> She disappears, transported to a new level of the tournament.

🎬 SCENE 7: Final Cliffhanger
In a dark room, several fighters never seen before awaken.
Their eyes shine. Their names are engraved in the shadows.
And in another room...
Kairos raises his head:
💬 "It's time to enter the Black Tournament."
