The dragon's tail lashed—
And it dove from outer space straight toward the planet.
Even through the screen—
Everyone could feel its rage.
"What's going on…?"
"Why is it so angry?"
"The meteors were already stopped!"
The blue planet rapidly expanded in view.
The dragon pierced the atmosphere—
A Burning World
The sky—
Crimson.
Clouds—
Gone.
Burned away.
The entire world looked like molten iron.
Smoke filled the air.
Below—
From tens of thousands of meters high—
They saw it clearly.
Not fire.
Lava.
Endless lava spreading across the surface.
"An impact… pierced the core?" someone muttered.
But—
That made no sense.
The meteors were already destroyed.
Then—
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
"Wait…"
Cynthia narrowed her eyes.
"This isn't an impact…"
"This is… a battle."
The Truth Revealed
Everyone froze.
It wasn't a meteor.
It was—
Groudon.
Kyogre.
Two colossal beings—
Clashing once more.
Lava devouring oceans
Oceans swallowing land
Half the world red
Half the world blue
Every collision—
Shattered the sky.
Shook the planet.
"GROUDON?!"
"KYOGRE?!"
They weren't stopping.
They were destroying the world.
The Sky Sovereign Descends
The dragon's eyes burned with fury.
Its descent accelerated—
Breaking the sound barrier.
Its body ignited—
Orange flames turning into deep azure.
Skill activated:
Dragon Ascent
The pressure alone—
Crushed the sea downward.
Split the land into cracks.
Groudon and Kyogre paused.
For the first time—
They felt it.
Danger.
They attacked together.
Two streams of Ancient Power—
Merged into one.
A massive purple beam—
Shot upward.
BOOOOM!!!
Dragon Ascent vs Ancient Power.
Lightning burst everywhere.
Shockwaves tore through the sky.
For a moment—
They were equal.
Then—
The dragon pushed forward.
It began overpowering them.
Driving the beam downward.
"Insane…"
"Two vs one—and still losing?!"
Son Goku spoke calmly:
"…It'll end in a draw."
Moments later—
He was right.
The forces canceled out.
Close Combat Begins
ROOOOAR!!!
The dragon surged forward.
A blur of green.
SLAM!
A dragon claw—
Smashed Kyogre into the ocean.
WHAM!
A tail strike—
Sent Groudon flying.
The crowd went silent.
Then—
The two gods roared.
They attacked together.
Three-Way Cataclysm
The sky trembled.
The earth collapsed.
The oceans surged.
A true end-of-the-world battle.
And yet—
The dragon—
Did not fall behind.
Even against two gods—
It stood its ground.
Dragon-type trainer across the world were ecstatic.
This was—
Their king.
Turning Point
But—
Two vs one.
A single mistake—
Was enough.
Kyogre struck.
The dragon was blasted away.
Before it could recover—
Groudon moved.
Precipice Blades
A molten spike—
Shot up from the ocean.
DIRECT HIT.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Like countless nuclear explosions—
The dragon was engulfed.
It crashed into the sea.
Silence.
"…It's over."
"Still incredible…"
"TOP 8 deserved."
Even in defeat—
It had proven its strength.
Against two gods—
It had nearly won.
But Then—
The ocean exploded.
The dragon rose again.
ROOOOOOAR!!!
It was furious.
Light engulfed its body.
Its form—
Began to change.
"Evolution?!"
The white glow intensified.
Its massive body transformed.
And when the light faded—
Everyone—
Across all worlds—
Felt their hearts stop.
Because what appeared—
Was no longer the same being.
