                    The sky burned red.
Far beyond the mountain ridges, at the fortified hangars of X-3, General Ryker Voss stood tall in full blackened armor, his veins still pulsing with the glowing fire of the -infused serum. Before him, row after row of chemical soldiers stood still—engineered hybrids of man and machine, injected with volatile compounds and trained only for destruction.
Their eyes glowed cold blue. Their minds, stripped of mercy.
Dr. Halvex stood nervously by the launch controls. “They’re stable… for now.”
Ryker didn’t speak. He merely raised his hand.
A massive jet—the AG59 Eagle, the largest, most heavily armed war vessel ever built—roared to life behind him. Its wings bore rail guns. Its underbelly carried incinerator drones. At its core, it was fitted with a device designed to drill into the mountain and extract it entirely.
One by one, smaller black jets loaded with chemical soldiers lifted off. They formed into formation around the AG59 Eagle like vultures circling a titan.
Ryker climbed aboard the AG59 Eagle, stepping into the command chamber.
“Destination: The Mountain. Burn everything,” he ordered.
The fleet soared toward the horizon.
At the mountain, villagers, warriors, and clan chiefs stood ready.
Scouts on the highest cliffs spotted the black swarm on the horizon. Horns blared through the valley. The air grew colder.
Dalen tightened his gauntlets and looked at Avera. “This is it.”
Avera nodded, dressed in her ancestral armor, Flameheart in hand. “Then we fight for all of us. For the land. For the fallen. For the future.”
Marah stood atop the high wall with Drakon and other chiefs. “Remember the fire traps. Remember the explosive arrows. We strike like one flame.”
The mountain valley grew silent… then the sky screamed.
Dozens of jets pierced the clouds. The AG59 Eagle cast a monstrous shadow over the valley. The Final War had begun.
