THE TRUE POWER

Chapter 9: Yunjun’s True Power

---

Scene 1: Battlefield – Ruins of the Moon Base

[Panel 1]

(Yunjun stands among broken robots, his body bloody and tired. The ground cracks under his feet.)

AI (urgent voice):

"Warning! Two boss-level enemies detected approaching fast!"

[Panel 2]

(A giant mechanical titan and a dark, cloaked warrior rush toward him. Their weapons gleam under the cold moonlight.)

Yunjun (gritting teeth):

"Tch… not enough time to recover."

[Panel 3]

(Yunjun closes his eyes. The world slows around him. His heartbeat echoes.)

Yunjun (internal monologue):

If I don't unleash it now... we die.

[Panel 4]

(Golden symbols appear on Yunjun’s body. His aura explodes outward like a storm.)

AI (stunned):

"True Power Release: 15% unlocked!"

---

Scene 2: Instant Counterattack

[Panel 5]

(Yunjun disappears in a blur of speed. Shockwaves tear the ground.)

[Panel 6]

(First, he punches through the mech's core with one golden-imbued punch. The mech explodes behind him.)

Sound Effect:

BOOOOOOM!

[Panel 7]

(Without stopping, Yunjun draws a golden energy blade, slicing the dark warrior cleanly in half.)

Dark Warrior (before fading):

"Impossible..."

Scene 3: Aftermath

[Panel 8]

(The battlefield falls silent. Only Yunjun stands in the dust and sparks.)

AI (analyzing):

"Enemy threat eliminated. 82% energy drained."

[Panel 9]

(Yunjun staggers slightly, blood dripping from his mouth.)

Yunjun (grinning weakly):

"Heh... just getting started."

(Final panel zooms in on his glowing golden eyes.)

Scene 1: Moon Shelter Control Room

[Panel 1]

(Yunjun, Alysa, and Nova stand inside the high-tech command center. Holograms spin around them, displaying distant galaxies.)

AI (somber tone):

“Message decoded… Playback initiated.”

[Panel 2]

(A blue hologram of a scientist appears. His face is scarred and weary.)

Hologram:

“If you're seeing this… Earth fell long ago. The aliens are not invaders. They are harvesters. You must run— or become a god.”

Scene 2: The Truth Revealed

[Panel 3]

(Yunjun watches, fists clenched. Alysa looks heartbroken.)

Nova (quietly):

“Those harvesters… They used us as fuel. Weapons. Experiments.”

[Panel 4]

(The hologram ends. The AI continues scanning.)

AI:

“Coordinates located. Their source planet… 67 million light-years away.”

[Panel 5]

(Yunjun steps forward, eyes burning with determination.)

Yunjun:

“Then we go to them.”

Scene 3: Quiet Before the Storm

[Panel 6]

(The group sits in silence. Alysa gently leans on Yunjun's shoulder.)

Alysa:

“Do you think we’ll survive… all of this?”

Yunjun (softly):

“We don’t survive. We fight.”

[Panel 7]

(Nova gazes at the stars. The ship’s engines hum.)

Nova:

“One last war, then.”

Scene 4: Light-Hearted Ending Moment

[Panel 8]

(AI chimes in cheerfully, breaking the silence.)

AI:

“Brother Yunjun! Brother! Brother! Brother! Ready for launch, brother!”

Yunjun (facepalming):

“Okay, okay! Stop calling me brother!”

[Panel 9]

(Everyone laughs. A spark of hope returns to their eyes.)

Caption:

“This is not the end. It’s only the beginning.”
