Lily: "We need to ask someone who has the same mission as us!"
Peti nodded in agreement, realizing the importance of gathering more information and resources for their mission. "Good idea but not the best. Let's head to the cafeteria and see who we can find them or not." Peti shrugs nonchalantly.
They made their way to the cafeteria, a bustling hub where people from various missions often gathered to share information and strategize. As they sat down to eat lunch, Peti couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.Glancing around, he noticed a pair of eyes fixed on them.
A man with striking white hair and a white outfit was watching them intently his gray eyes are terrifying as they stare at them like some shapeshifters.
Beside him was a girl with coral-like horns and fish like hands her eyes equally focused on Peti and Lily... But especially Peti.
Peti noticed the pair watching him and felt a surge of irritation. His fists clenched, and his eyes narrowed dangerously as he glared at them, looking like he wanted to poke their eyes out for staring at him so intently.
Lily, noticing Peti's rising anger, quickly moved to intervene. She placed a gentle hand on his arm and whispered urgently, "Peti, calm down. Let's handle this peacefully."
But Peti shook off her hand and strode over to the pair, his expression menacing. "What's your problem? Why are you watching us?" he demanded, his voice low and threatening.
The man with white hair looked up calmly, his expression unfazed by Peti's aggression. The girl with coral-like horns glanced nervously between Peti and Lily.
Lily hurried to catch up to Peti, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Hi there, I'm Lily," she said quickly, trying to smooth over the tension. "Sorry about my friend here. We just noticed you watching us and thought maybe you're here for the same mission?"
The white-haired man met Peti's glare with a steady gaze. "I'm Hikari, and this is Yumine," he said, nodding towards Yumine.
Yes, we're here for the disaster relief mission. We didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. We were just trying to figure out if you were here for the same reason. Yumine gave a tentative smile, trying to ease the situation. "We've been gathering intel and resources. We thought maybe we could work together."
Peti's eyes remained hard, and he crossed his arms, his stance still aggressive. "And why should we trust you? For all we know, you could be trying to sabotage our mission."
Lily stepped in front of Peti slightly, her tone conciliatory. "Peti, please. We're all here to help. Let's not start off on the wrong foot."
Hikari nodded, his demeanor calm and diplomatic. "We understand the suspicion. But we really are here to help. We thought working together might be more effective."
Peti huffed but reluctantly nodded, his posture relaxing slightly. "Fine. But I've got my eye on you. Any funny business, and youre done!"
Lily looked at Hikari and Yumine, curiosity evident in her eyes. "How do you know us, anyway?"
Hikari smiled slightly. "We watched your fights. Peti's fight against Genjo and your fight against Noboru were quite impressive.
Peti speaks up. After getting to know them. "Hikari I think you are the true opponent for those two heads to fight this is your chance to find powerful rival."
Hikari smiles as he speaks to him. He seems intrigued by the possibility of encountering a powerful rival to fight against. He has been eager for a new, formidable opponent who can challenge him and push his limits. So his suggestion has piqued his interest and he is eager to see how the fight will play out.
"Hm, what an intriguing idea. A chance to face a rival strong enough to take me down? This sounds like an excellent opportunity for me." His excitement grows as he envisions the fight between him and the shadow leader.
"And who we going to fight with?"
"The shadow king!"Peti answer
The mention of the shadow king sparks even more intrigue in LightTer. He smiles mischievously as he imagines facing off against the shadowy tyrant. He's always itching for a challenge and this would be the ultimate test of his capabilities. The thought of going up against such a powerful foe makes his blood pump in anticipation.
Would you help us? Peti ask him
Hikari thinks for a second before he answers
"Of course! I would be more than happy to help you against this shadow king figure. I'm ready to fight and test my limits against this powerful rival."
His enthusiasm and determination are unshakable as he pledges his support for your mission to take down the shadow leader. He plans to prove himself as their ally and help in defeating the shadowy tyrant.
While Yumine refuses to lily. "No, I never go back to this place I see many and many new creatures. I don't wanna see them again. No lily!"
Lily seems a little shocked by Yumine's reaction, and she wonders why she is so against helping them to capture the shadow leader. But she respects her refusal to go back to the deep ocean environment and she doesn't push the matter any further.
"I understand how you feel, Yumine. The deep ocean can be a scary place with many strange and dangerous creatures. It's not for everyone and I respect your choice not to join this mission. Lily is willing to take no for an answer and she tries not to press the matter anymore"
"Yumine, her cheeks flushing with shyness, leaned closer to Lily and whispered, "I'm... actually a bit of a fan of Peti's," making sure Peti couldn't hear.
"Is Peti coming too?" She ask shyly
Lily notices Yumine's shyness and she realizes that it's probably because she's nervous about Peti coming with them for this mission. She has a way with words and she tries to make Yumine feel comfortable and at ease. "Well, Peti has the same goal of capturing the shadow leader as the rest of us. So he is definitely coming too. We're all going together like one big team for the same mission."
Yumine's reassuring words seem to make Seana relax a little. She seems more comfortable with the idea of Peti along with them now.
Yumine squeaks in excitement again? (Idk)
Lily can't resist smiling at Seana's sudden burst of excitement. It's clear that she is thrilled by the idea of Peti coming along with them on the mission. She is also glad to see that Yumine has warmed up to the idea of having Peti join them.
"I know, I'm excited too! It's gonna be so much fun working with Peti and Hikari to capture that shadow leader. We're gonna make an awesome team for this mission!"
Yumine speaks again about this topic. "sry I just... I became a little his fan after when he had the fight against his own boss Genjo. And your fight against Noboru was so cool too. you did it to the end just like Peti."
Lily chuckles slightly at Yumine's praise and admiration of Peti's heroism. She also remembers the battle against Noboru and nods in agreement.
"You know, I agree. Peti's fight against Genjo was pretty awesome and inspiring. Peti truly is a brave and selfless hero who fights for himself . That's exactly why I was so drawn to him when we first met. He is a true hero behind his mask."
Seana sighs. "Fine I'm coming too." Sigh. "But the bubble armor is only for 1 day long só if we fight and we win I need to recover 1 day"
Lily is glad to have successfully convinced Seana to join them on this important mission. Seana's bubble armor might only last for 1 day when in use, but it will still prove to be invaluable in their fight against the shadow leader. Knowing this will definitely make their quest much more manageable and hopefully more successful. "Don't worry, Seana. 1 day hours should be more than enough time for us to find and defeat the shadow leader. If we manage to accomplish that, then you can take the rest of the day and recover."
Lily look at them. "Okay so the boss said there is shadow royalty somewhere in the darkest place... Hmmm 🤔"
Peti smirks. "In your head. Okay okay. I think it's the Mariana trench!
Yumine nods in agreement and look at Peti shyly then look away from him and blushes.
Then after the meeting Peti teleports themselves close to an island or anything that they can stand on near the Mariana trench.
As they ventured deeper and deeper into the Mariana Trench, the pressure and darkness around them increased. The deep blue of the water turned to an inky black, but Hikari's light began to glow more intensely, illuminating their path. His light was so powerful that the water around them seemed to glow white, casting a surreal, almost otherworldly glow in the depths.
Peti glanced around, awed by the brightness of Hikari's light. "I've got to admit, this is impressive," he muttered, more to himself than anyone else.
Lily swam alongside them, her eyes wide as she took in the breathtaking scene. "It's beautiful down here," she said softly. "I never thought we'd be able to see this clearly at such depths."
Yumine, clad in her specialized body armor, moved gracefully through the water. Her armor had built-in enhancements that allowed them to see clearly despite the murkiness of the deep sea. "We designed this gear specifically for underwater missions," she explained, her voice transmitted clearly through their communication devices. "It enhances visibility and provides protection against the immense pressure down here."
Hikari's light continued to shine brightly, piercing through the darkness and revealing the incredible landscape of the trench. Strange and exotic marine life, adapted to the extreme conditions, swam around them, illuminated in the bright white light. The rocky walls of the trench, covered in bioluminescent organisms, sparkled like stars in the deep.
Peti couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. "So, what exactly are we looking for down here?" he asked, keeping his eyes peeled for any signs of danger.
"There's a source of energy detected deep within the trench," Lily replied. "It's unlike anything we've seen before. We need to investigate it and determine if it poses any threat or if it can be harnessed for good."
Hikari nodded, his light casting long shadows in the water. "We're getting close. The readings are getting stronger. Stay alert."
Yumine swam ahead, her armor glinting in the light. "I'll scout ahead and make sure the path is clear," she said confidently, moving with the ease of someone accustomed to the depths.
As they continued their descent, the water grew colder, and the pressure increased. Yet, Hikari's light remained unwavering, guiding them deeper into the unknown. The group stayed close, their combined strengths making them a formidable team.
Minutes turned into hours as they ventured further into the trench. The deeper they went, the more surreal their surroundings became, with the glow of Hikari's light creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. Despite the challenges, they pressed on, driven by their mission and the hope of discovering something incredible in the heart of the Mariana Trench.
Finally, as they reached a particularly deep section of the trench, a faint glow appeared in the distance. It pulsed with an otherworldly energy, drawing them closer.
"There it is," Lily whispered, her voice filled with awe. "The source of the energy."
Peti, Hikari, and Yumine exchanged determined looks, ready to face whatever lay ahead. Together, they moved toward the glowing anomaly, prepared to uncover the secrets of the deep and protect the world from any potential threats.
After what felt like an endless day of swimming deeper and deeper into the Mariana Trench, the exhaustion was setting in for Peti, Lily, Hikari, and Yumine. Their muscles ached, and their minds were growing foggy from the relentless pressure and darkness. Hikari's light, though still bright, seemed to flicker with the weariness that affected them all.
Their bubble armors, designed by Seana, began to falter. The once protective barriers started to dissipate, and they felt the crushing pressure of the deep sea intensify. The cold water bit into their skin, and panic began to set in as they struggled to breathe.
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Peti noticed something in the dim light ahead—signs carved into the rocks, pointing towards a base. Squinting, he tried to make out the words.
"Look! Signs towards the Shadow King and Queen's base," Sean exclaimed, his voice strained.
Lily, gasping for breath, glanced at the signs. Peti made a quick decision. He gestured urgently to Lily, pointing at the rocks. "We need to get through those rocks and into the base. It's our only chance."
Lily nodded, understanding the urgency. Summoning the last of her strength, she focused her energy and struck the rocks with a powerful blast. The rocks shattered, revealing an opening into the base.
As the water rushed in, the team was sucked through the opening, tumbling into the base. The sudden change in pressure and the force of the water knocked the wind out of them. They landed heavily on the floor, gasping for air, their bodies wracked with pain from the intense journey.
For a few agonizing moments, they lay there, struggling to breathe. The base's internal systems kicked in, and the water quickly drained away, leaving them on a dry, albeit damp, surface.
Peti rolled onto his back, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. "That... was too close," he panted.
Lily, equally exhausted, nodded weakly. "We almost didn't make it," she agreed, her voice barely above a whisper.
Hikari's light dimmed as he lay on the ground, his normally calm demeanor replaced by sheer exhaustion. "We need to rest... regain our strength," he said, his voice shaky.
Yumine, though tired, crawled over to Peti and Lily, her armor glistening with water. "At least... we're inside," she said, her shy demeanor momentarily overshadowed by relief. She leaned in closer to Lily and whispered, "I'm so glad we made it."
For a few minutes, they simply lay there, breathing heavily and grateful to be alive. The base was quiet, the only sound their ragged breaths echoing in the space. Slowly, they began to sit up, taking in their surroundings.
The interior of the base was dark and foreboding, with shadows cast by the faint lights along the walls. They had made it inside, but they knew their journey was far from over. The Shadow King and Queen's lair awaited them, filled with unknown dangers and challenges.
As they regained their strength, Peti looked at his companions, a determined glint in his eyes. "We're here now. Let's finish what we started and find that source of energy."
Lily, Hikari, and Yumine nodded in agreement, their resolve strengthened by the near-death experience. Together, they stood up, ready to face whatever awaited them in the depths of the Shadow King and Queen's base.
As Peti lay on the ground, catching his breath, he couldn't help but glance at Lily. Her new hero suit clung to her form, and her wet hair framed her face, droplets of water sliding down her cheeks. As she breathed heavily, her chest moved up and down rhythmically, drawing Peti's gaze.In the background,
Yumine noticed Peti's attention on Lily and felt a pang of jealousy.
She pouted slightly, her cheeks puffing out in silent frustration, while Hikari observed the scene with a knowing smile.After a few minutes, they all managed to catch their breaths and sit up.
Peti stood, shaking off the exhaustion, and addressed the group.
"Hikari, you go first. Your light will be our human flashlight."
Hikari chuckled softly, the sound echoing in the dimly lit base. "Sure thing, Peti. I'll lead the way," he said, his light glowing brighter as he moved ahead of the group.
They continued their search for hours, navigating the labyrinthine corridors of the Shadow King and Queen's base. The eerie silence and the oppressive atmosphere kept them on edge, but Hikari's light provided a constant beacon of hope.
Suddenly, they heard voices coming from behind a heavy door. The voices were celebrating, their tone jubilant and triumphant. Peti motioned for everyone to stay quiet as they approached the door.
Pressing his ear against the door, Peti could make out the words. "Our shadows now cover the world," one voice said, a deep, resonant tone.
"We have plunged the sun and the sky into darkness." Another voice chimed in, filled with dark glee."Yes, the world is shrouded in eternal night. Our reign has begun."
Lily's eyes widened in alarm as she turned to Peti. "They've already started their plan," she whispered urgently. "We have to stop them."
Lily's mind raced. She had a plan forming, but before she could speak, Peti grinned mischievously."Wait, I've got an idea," Peti whispered, stepping back from the door.
Lily gave him a puzzled look. "What are you doing, Peti?"
Peti put a finger to his lips, signaling for silence, then knocked loudly on the door. The voices inside fell silent.
After a moment, a cautious voice called out, "Who's there?"Peti smirked, exchanging a quick glance with his friends. "Knock, knock," he said loudly.
There was a pause before the voice replied, "Who's there?"
"Peti," he answered, barely able to contain his amusement.
"Peti who?" came the confused response.
Peti grinned widely and shouted, "Peti who came to Surprise you." Peti thinks in himself that was sick. "SUPRISE MOTHER FUCKERS!!!" He kicked the door open with a flourish.
Hikari's light flared up to full brightness, flooding the room with blinding white light. The figures inside the room were caught completely off guard, their celebrations abruptly cut short as they shielded their eyes from the intense glow.
As the battle settled and the last of the Shadow King's minions lay defeated, Peti, Lily, Hikari, and Yumine took a moment to catch their breath. They quickly turned their attention to the computers and projection equipment scattered around the room, which displayed the world's current state under the oppressive darkness.
"We need to destroy these," Peti said, determination in his voice. "If we break their control here, it might start to lift the darkness."
Lily nodded in agreement. "Let's do it. Hikari, keep that light going. Yumine, cover our backs."
With swift and deliberate actions, they began smashing the computers and projectors. Screens shattered, sparks flew, and the projections flickered and died. Each piece of broken equipment brought a little more hope that they could undo the damage wrought by the Shadow King and Queen.
Suddenly, a chilling, deep voice resonated through the room, causing the heroes to freeze in their tracks. The air grew colder, and an oppressive weight settled over them. "Foolish mortals," the voice rumbled. "Do you think you can simply destroy my toys and thwart my plans?"
From the depths of the shadows, a tall, imposing figure emerged. His presence exuded an aura of darkness so profound that even Hikari's brilliant light seemed to dim in his vicinity. The Shadow King stepped forward, his eyes glowing with a malevolent light.
Peti clenched his fists, ready for another fight. "So you're the one behind all this," he said, his voice filled with defiance. "We're here to stop you."
The Shadow King chuckled, a sound that echoed like thunder in the confined space. "Brave words for those on the brink of despair. You have only seen a fraction of my power."
Lily stepped up beside Peti, her gaze steady and fearless. "We've fought your minions and destroyed your machines. We're not afraid of you."
Yumine, standing protectively beside Hikari, glared at the Shadow King. "We won't let you keep the world in darkness.
The Shadow King's smile twisted into a sneer. "Very well, then. Come, face the true power of the shadows."
As the Shadow King emerged from the depths of the shadows, his presence commanding the room, Peti and Hikari exchanged a resolute look. The weight of the moment settled over them, and without a word, they both knew what needed to be done.
Peti turned to Lily and Yumine, his voice firm. "Stay back. This fight is between us and him. It's a man-to-man battle."
Lily opened her mouth to protest, but Peti shook his head. "Trust us. We need to do this."
Yumine looked worried, but she nodded reluctantly. "Be careful," she said softly and worried.
The Shadow King laughed, his deep voice reverberating through the room. "Very well. If you wish to face me alone, I will grant you that honor. But know this: I will show no mercy."
Peti and Hikari stepped forward, standing side by side, their determination unwavering. Hikari's light intensified, casting long shadows across the room as he faced the embodiment of darkness.
"Ready, Hikari?" Peti asked, his fists clenched.
Hikari nodded, his usually calm demeanor replaced by steely resolve.
"Let's finish this, Peti."
The Shadow King extended his hands, and the shadows swirled around him, forming dark, menacing shapes.
Peti and Hikari moved in unison, charging at the Shadow King with all their strength.
You certainly look powerful. What are your plans? To ruin all the hard work I've put into creating darkness over the world?"
Hikari nod. "yes! Why do you want create a chaos of not having sun and freezing the world?"
Shadow king laug. "Because chaos is my specialty. Ever since the beginning of time, I have been obsessed with the darkness and ruining the balance of the world. The lack of sun and the freezing of the world are just ways for me to spread my influence and cause destruction. I want to destroy the light and watch as every living creature freezes in fear."
Hikari stand "you will see I can brighten everything up and even I can be bright as a star or the sun so be ready! I can even brighten the universe too if I wanted to!"
Shadow king: "So you think you can outshine me, do you? You should know that I am the master of darkness and have powers beyond your comprehension. I am willing to bet that you're nowhere near as powerful as I am. If you want to fight me, then bring it on. I'm ready to crush your spirit and extinguish all your light."
Hikari looks at Peti to join in and him stand next to him in his cobra style while Hikari take his pose too.
