A date not with a supervillian

(On a rooftop Rox thinks to himself about what his friends told him…and he trains trying to get stronger…all by himself Determined to face the end with everything he has with him)

Siniko: (smiling slyly) Rox… I was wondering when we’d get a moment alone. All this fighting—such a waste, don’t you think?

Rox: (steadying himself, green energy sparking around his hands) If you’re here to join Shimuka’s side, then I don’t have time for games, Siniko. This is the end of the line.

Siniko: (pouting) Oh, come on, Rox. Do we really have to fight? I don’t want to hurt you… at least, not too much. (eyes glinting) I’ve watched you fight. You’re strong, determined… so much potential. It’s almost a shame you’re against us.

Rox: (gritting his teeth) Don’t pretend to care, Siniko. I’m fighting to protect the people I care about. You’re just here to destroy.

Siniko: (smirking, stepping closer) And you’re here to play hero. I find it… charming. But what if I could show you a better way? You and me, we could be unstoppable. Think of what we could do together.

She raises a hand, and with a flick of her fingers, shadows twist around Rox’s body. He struggles as her power tries to take hold, her possession creeping over him like ice.

Rox: (resisting, voice strained) I’m… not… yours to control, Siniko.

Siniko: (leaning in, her voice a whisper) Aren’t you? You’re strong, Rox, but deep down, you’re just like me—lost in the darkness. I could take that pain away. Let me.

She places her hand over his chest, her powers swirling around him, pulling at his mind and emotions. Rox feels a flicker of doubt, his memories surfacing—the pain of his family’s loss, the years of struggling with his power alone.

Siniko: (softly) I know what it’s like to feel alone. To be feared, misunderstood. Why keep fighting? You and I, we could make the world ours.

For a moment, Rox falters, her words weaving into his doubts. But then he thinks of his friends, of the family he’s found, and the sacrifices they’ve made together. A surge of green energy breaks through Siniko’s hold.

Rox: (eyes blazing, voice firm) I’m not alone anymore, Siniko. I have people who believe in me—who fight beside me. And I’ll never join you.

Siniko: (taken aback, a hint of hurt in her eyes) So… you’d choose them? Over me?

Rox: (nodding) Every time.

With a burst of energy, he breaks free of her control, unleashing a blast that forces her back. She stumbles, her expression darkening as she realizes he won’t be swayed. Her smirk fades, replaced by a scorned look of bitterness.

Siniko: (coldly) Fine, Rox. If I can’t have you, then I’ll make sure no one does.

She raises her hands, shadows twisting into a powerful attack aimed straight at him. Rox braces himself, green energy pulsing around him as he prepares to face her head-on.

Rox: (determined) Bring it on, Siniko. You’re not the only one with a powerful last move.

They charge toward each other, both unleashing their strongest attacks in a clash of shadows and green energy that lights up the battlefield. The impact sends shockwaves through the ground as their powers collide, neither willing to back down
