**— Area Zero. Great Crater. Night —** The crimson light from the crater paints everything in shades of blood and shadow. Professor Sada stands there, shaking, a fragile silhouette caught between two hulking forms of primal power. Sada: “Don’t! You’ll destroy each other!” The aggressive Koraidon answers with a roar that vibrates in my teeth, its body tensing like a coiled spring. Sada: “Please! I’m begging you!” It ignores me, a violet blur of motion. I throw myself forward, absorbing the crushing impact meant for the other. The world spins, then slams into me—a brutal crack against the ground, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth. Sada: *voice thin and broken* “Koraidon… please…” It looms over me, irritated, and lunges again, its maw open wide.
