Scene 1 – The Trap Unfolds
Yardy and the One-Man Army warrior effortlessly decimated the enemy kingdom's ships and broke through their territory's defenses. As they advanced, Ron conjured a massive dragon made of black sorcery, its dark energy rippling across the skies.
The trio—Ron, Yardy, and the One-Man Army—obliterated every obstacle in their path as they approached the royal palace. Yet something felt... off. The guards they encountered weren't trained soldiers—they looked like civilians in uniform. Unorganized. Weak.
"This doesn't make sense," Ron muttered. "This kingdom was said to possess one of the strongest armies in the galaxy."
He suspected the real soldiers were waiting at the castle.
As they reached the towering royal structure, their sheer spiritual energy was so intense that any enemy nearby was flattened to the ground—unable to move, breathe, or speak.
Ron walked in the center. Yardy flanked his right. The One-Man Army held position on his left.
They entered the throne room.
It was empty.
Suddenly, dozens of soldiers appeared from nowhere.
Before anyone could blink, they all fell—lifeless—cut down in an instant.
Ron turned. The One-Man Army was already standing still, sword vanishing into mist.
Despite the victory, Ron's unease only grew. "Where is everyone?" he muttered. "Why are there so few guards? Where is the king?"
He tried to contact headquarters. No response. He reached out to Carter. Nothing.
Yardy noticed the change in Ron's expression. "Ron? Something wrong?"
Ron turned to him slowly. "Why do you think those support ships—coming to help us—were suddenly attacked? And now, we're standing inside the emperor's castle… alone?"
Yardy's eyes widened. "Don't tell me…"
The One-Man Army guy nodded. "Yes. You're right. Both kingdoms are allies. They coordinated everything. The first kingdom lured us here to distract us. They knew Carter would send his strongest team."
Ron's voice darkened. "So the real army… it's with King Larthur. That's why I couldn't reach Carter. They're under attack."

Scene 2 – The Ambush
Hours earlier, Carter and his fleet had reached King Larthur's territory. Ships hovered in battle formation, facing Larthur's imposing armada.
Suddenly, without warning, another wave of ships appeared behind them—the allied kingdom's hidden army.
Just as Ron suspected.
They attacked with advanced futuristic tech, catching Carter's fleet in a deadly pincer formation.
Then came the weapon Carter had only heard of in legend—King Larthur's RGP. A terrifying weapon capable of destroying fourth- and fifth-dimensional beings… even those existing beyond space and time.
Larthur's right-hand man, Joe, launched the RGP.
A black sphere, like a miniature black hole no larger than a human palm, tore through space.
Just before it hit Carter, Dream appeared—she shoved him out of the way using her power, taking the brunt of the blast.
Carter's ship was destroyed, others severely damaged. Realizing the scale of the ambush, Carter gave the retreat order: fall back to the nearest planet.
But they were surrounded.
10,000 soldiers—against millions. Weapons, magic, advanced sorcery.
Dream raised a defense circle, enclosing the entire team inside. Her energy pulsed with brilliance as she held off the combined forces of two kingdoms.
The battlefield fell silent.
Even the enemy was stunned.
King Larthur watched in awe. "She's… incredible. Who is this woman?"
No one knew.
Then Ron contacted Dream telepathically, telling her the truth: it was a trap. He instructed her to teleport everyone to Planet A.
Dream had a rare gift—she could copy anyone's powers.
She mimicked Ron's teleportation technique and successfully transported nearly everyone inside the shield to Planet A.
Ron, Yardy, and the One-Man Army quickly teleported the rest.
Everyone… except Carter.

Scene 3 – The Fall Into Void
Ron returned to retrieve him. When he arrived, Carter was still fighting—standing on a floating wreck of his shattered ship, surrounded by enemy soldiers.
Together, they fought back, cutting down wave after wave.
Then—King Larthur appeared.
"You're dead," he growled, raising his spear of dimensional rupture.
A terrifying attack formed, energy warping around its tip.
Larthur hurled it at them.
Ron acted fast. He grabbed Carter's shirt and teleported him away, flinging him toward Planet A.
But as the spear hit the wreck, the shockwave disrupted Ron's teleportation mid-process.
Carter vanished.
Ron… did not.

Ron had been interrupted between Point A and Point B.
In his teleportation ability, Ron passed through an abstract realm—known as the Speed Void—a dimension that existed beyond time and space. In Hero Town's universe, many such realms existed, unseen by most.
But Ron didn't reach it.
He fell somewhere in between.
Now, he was drifting—lost—in a space between the real world and the Speed Void. A place with no time, no gravity, no meaning.
A place where nothing exists.
And now… neither did he.
