Ashfall's fractured armor sparked and hissed as Titan pressed his assault, the hybrid energy surging stronger within him. The war machine's mechanical growls turned into desperate roars, its form shifting unpredictably—adapting, evolving.
Titan gritted his teeth. This isn't just a machine. It's alive.
Around them, space twisted violently as the battle reached its zenith.
Kaela's voice crackled in his comm. "Titan, shields are failing! You need to finish this—now!"
Titan nodded, channeling every ounce of strength. His body erupted in a blinding cascade of light and dark energy—melding the essence of the Void and the Vaelari.
With a final, earth-shattering strike, he shattered Ashfall's core.
The war machine convulsed once… twice… then exploded into a cascade of stardust.
Silence filled the void.
Titan drifted, breath heavy, energy spent.
Then a new voice echoed within him—soft, ancient, and hopeful.
"You have done more than survive. You have become the bridge."
