Rain pours even harder.The ground shakes with thunder.
Goo-Gun Null wipes blood from his mouth, his golden-black eyes flickering like a dying flame.
Blaze Ryu stands in front of him, chest heaving, knuckles cracked.
Blaze:"Stand UP, Null!Don't show me this WEAK version of you!"
Null slowly rises, dizzy, unable to keep balance.
Null (thinking):"I… couldn't copy that punch…Why?Why Blaze… so strong…?"
Lightning hits the sky—and someone watches from the rooftops, unseen.
Scene 1 — Blaze's Rage Unleashed
Blaze takes a step forward.His aura glows with red-hot pressure, vibrating the rain around him.
Blaze:"You left us.Ten years.No message. No explanation.We thought you were DEAD!"
Null stares blankly, emotionless but shaking.
Blaze charges—
BOOM!
A second massive punch lands on Null's chest.Null flies back and nearly crashes into a wall.
He catches himself barely, coughing blood.
Null (cold voice):"…Why… do you hate me… so much… Blaze?"
Blaze roars:
Blaze:"Because I wanted to be your rival!And you just disappeared!"
Scene 2 — Null at His Limit
Null tries to activate Copy-Paste again.
A golden-black aura flickers…
…and immediately collapses.
His power is unstable.Not functioning.His rebirth changed something inside him.
Null (whisper):"…My body can't handle my power yet…"
Blaze smirks bitterly:
Blaze:"Good.Then this fight is REAL."
He steps closer, raising another fist.
Scene 3 — Gray Intervenes
Before Blaze's punch reaches Null—
A hand grips Blaze's wrist.
It's Grayson "Gray" Locke — the Silent Beast.
His voice is low, cold, deadly serious:
Gray:"That's enough, Blaze."
Blaze snarls:
Blaze:"Out of my way, Gray!"
Gray tightens his grip.
Gray:"Null can't fight right now.And you know it."
Blaze glares at Null, breathing heavy, torn between rage and pain.
Scene 4 — The Revelation
Gray helps Null stand.
Blaze steps back, trembling.
Then he says something that shocks both of them:
Blaze:"Null…when you vanished…the world changed."
Null's eyes narrow.
Null:"…What do you mean?"
Blaze looks up into the rain.
Blaze:"There's a group…a real monster group…and they're hunting people with special abilities."
Gray clenches his fists.
Blaze continues:
Blaze:"They call themselvesTHE RESET ORDER."
Null freezes.
Something in him remembers that name…but he doesn't know why.
Blaze points at Null:
Blaze:"And they think YOU are a threat.A big one.That punch I landed?That wasn't just mine…It was training meant to fight THEM."
Null touches his chest where Blaze hit him.
A weird symbol is burned faintly on his skin…
A symbol he doesn't recognize.
Final Hook
Lightning flashes.The man on the roof finally steps forward — a tall silhouette with a glowing blue mask.
Masked Figure:"…Goo-Gun Null has returned.Notify the Council."
Then he vanishes into the storm.
Null looks up at the empty rooftop.
Null (quiet):"Who… is hunting me?"
