HALF 1: FLASHBACK – The Day the Monster Was Shown Mercy
> “Monsters are not born. Sometimes, they’re broken... and sometimes, they are spared.”
The memory came uninvited—cracking through the Emperor’s mind like a forgotten scar reopened.
He had been young then. Just another cold-blooded heir of a brutal kingdom. Small, wounded from a skirmish against a rogue dino faction. Left to die in the jungle.
The vines wrapped around his legs. Blood oozed from his shoulder.
That’s when she found him.
> A human woman—face dirtied by ash, hands trembling—stepped into his view. Her presence should’ve struck fear. Instead, she kneeled beside him with tears in her eyes.
> “You’re just a child…” she whispered.
He snarled. Tried to bite. She slapped him gently.
> “That’s enough. You’ll die if you keep that up.”
She treated his wounds with herbs. She hummed a lullaby. Fed him scraps from her own hidden stash. And before she left, she gave him a simple red cloth to bind his broken arm.
He remembered asking her name.
> “My name doesn't matter,” she said. “But I had a son once. You remind me of him...”
Then, like a ghost, she vanished into the trees.
The Dino guards found him days later. Alive. Changed.
He never saw her again.
But the scent of her kindness, her blood—it was the same scent now rising from Darkeran.
> “That scent... I remember now...” the Emperor murmured in the present. “She saved me.”

💥 HALF 2: The Battle Continues — Zerion's Wrath
The moment shattered like glass as Zerion stepped forward again, his shapeshifting body glitching—his eyes wild, full of mocking amusement.
> “Enough sentiment. Let’s resume the massacre.”
Around him, four elite shapeshifters appeared—one in the form of a crimson sabertooth, another like a human priest, the third slithering like a shadow, and the last—a perfect copy of Darkeran.
The battle erupted.
---
⚔️ The Fight – Alliance vs Elite
Blackstorm and Mad Scientist (Red) flanked the priest and shadow forms. Sparks flew as Blackstorm dodged razor-sharp claws and unleashed his plasma scythe in circular arcs. Red pulled gadgets like a magician—EMP grenades, acid blasters, gravity mines.
> “Don’t copy me, faker!” Darkeran yelled as he clashed with his own doppelgänger.“I’m the storm this world couldn’t contain!”
The Dino Emperor ripped through the sabertooth elite with ancient bone armor shielding his form. His claws met steel. His voice was rage:
> “You used my people. Turned my empire into a market. You betrayed more than me.”
Zerion laughed, splitting himself into three flickering forms.
> “This was never your empire. You were a distraction. I fed on your hatred to keep the humans weak... and the variants divided.”
---
⚡ Climax: Unity Unleashed
Darkeran’s rage returned, but it was focused now.
He roared—not in madness, but in purpose.
> “I am not your curse—I am this world's reckoning.”
He pierced through his doppelgänger with a final, ki-empowered blow, then joined the Emperor in crushing the last elite.
Meanwhile, Blackstorm lunged at Zerion mid-glitch and impaled him with a multi-phased frequency spike.
Zerion screamed as his body spasmed, breaking shape for a brief moment—revealing something horrifying: not Dino. Not human. Something older. Alien.
Before they could finish him, he exploded into smoke and vanished—leaving only his voice behind:
> “You’ve ruined the auction. But the grand war hasn’t even begun.”
---
🩸 Aftermath – Broken Throne, Shaky Alliance
The throne was cracked. The floor soaked in blood. The walls flickered with emergency sirens.
Blackstorm stood over the wreckage. “He’s not just a shapeshifter... he’s something more.”
Darkeran, panting, looked at the Emperor.
> “Now you know who sold your people. It wasn’t humans. It was one of your own.”
The Emperor looked away. “No. It was me—because I let them.”
A long pause. The first honest moment between monsters, soldiers, and sons.
Then, Red broke the silence.
> “You know he has a list of the next villages, right?”
All eyes turned.
> “Then we move,” Blackstorm said. “Together. Before another soul is sold.”
