“METRO!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANACHnZgxTmmv
Metro’s hood falls back—Sally’s bright eyes glow, and behind them Metro’s own eyes burn faintly.
75Please respect copyright.PENANA6WZjzcA4VN
Metro:
“STOP! I’M RIGHT HERE!”
(slight echo)
75Please respect copyright.PENANAptSOMHwDcb
Paul stiffens, his eyes ignite emerald under his hood. Rose’s face twists into something feral.

Blake hangs from his throat, dangling from the tightened rope making his eyes bulge out unnaturally.

His feet kick violently.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAaJhROurGVl
Metro:(echoed scream)
“NO!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANA0nYCg1Huig
Ana sprints toward Blake—time slows—
A pair of horse hooves slam into her face. She's bucked down violently by a knights horse. Her body folds backwards into a flip, smashing into the earth, body slumped.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAghDrg2jI7A
Unmoving.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAVuEnVl1D5v
Paul roars and charges. A guard on the wooden stage fires a black pistol. The shot punches into Paul’s chest. He collapses slowly.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAERHuvgMvRK
Metro screams—white fire erupts around him in a towering bonfire. Villagers stumble back in terror.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAe47w4fNYls
Blake gags, eyes bulging, veins popping in his forehead, dangling, suffocating, waiting...

SHRMMN—
75Please respect copyright.PENANA17kY8k6JYg
The rope snaps. Blake falls, coughing violently on the stage.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAf2kptXoJOK
Hasan’s priests hurl fireballs. They strike Metro and bounce off like pebbles against steel. Metro’s scream deepens—
75Please respect copyright.PENANAyo29wUZ6Wl
The priests ignite, screaming violently, falling to their knees, consumed by their own magic.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAZHHfK6Cft5
Twenty black‑armored infantry lower spears moving toward him.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAEay9KpY3iK
Metro:(screaming violently)
“NNGHAAA!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANAeIDgSELjFl
White‑blue spheres blast from his hands, smashing into the soldiers’ shields. Splitting there wall with spikes of adrenaline. Hasan dives into his carriage for cover.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAls7mgicvYU
Lilly cradles Paul’s head in her lap, trembling. Strawhat rushes in, lifting Paul into his wagon and signaling Lilly to follow.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAUupe7LTLq9
Metro:(loud, echoing)
“YEEAAAH!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANAmiCy5Z1Erp
Metro throws hooks left and right, each strike twisting his body, each punch releasing red‑blue and white bursts that hammer the soldiers backwards.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAXrz60z4Hdi
Rose sits atop Curtis, mouth open, eyes wide.
75Please respect copyright.PENANASHNe32AWyj
Kathryn scoops Blake up like cargo, slings him over her stallion, and vanishes into the fleeing crowd.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAC2S3zNtRQR
Metro (*+*spirit‑power-echoing*+*+):
“ERRRGGHHHHHAAAAAAA!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANA7VO7gmOoZj
He raises both hands—then slams them down.
75Please respect copyright.PENANA3OL2V5HcG9
The earth splits. A quake ripples through the square. Villagers scream and scatter. Some freeze, paralyzed with fear.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAfdDfXuKOiv
A blinding white flash detonates—like a stun grenade.
75Please respect copyright.PENANANlJnZWKaEZ
Everyone’s vision goes white. Ears ring.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAmz8cwu3KGt
Sally’s hooves thunder away into the distance.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAjxzjS6CnUK
When the dust settles—
Metro is gone.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAKhBhnw5hJQ
Ana lies in a farm band wagon with Strawhat. He pulls the reins on his mule while Paul and Lilly are with her in the back. Kathryn is nowhere to be seen.
75Please respect copyright.PENANA7dUafZKYTb
Hasan’s soldiers stand trembling, spears raised, awaiting orders.
75Please respect copyright.PENANADKlMDYE2pn
None come.
75Please respect copyright.PENANA8HWlYnRMMS
Finally Hasan pokes his head from the carriage, furious.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAsk2ilJRVg1
Hasan:
“You’ll be sorry!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ48tGYOkw
Both his hands are on his a pump action shotgun, torso sticking out of the black carriage window, grinning sadistically with gold teeth shining in the sunlight.

BOMBB!!!
75Please respect copyright.PENANA8oXyJrdlxP
The blast echoes through the village like a cursed bell. He grins, yelling obscenities one finger pointed in the air, as his carriage, half‑burned, pulls away.

“Retreat! RETREAT! RETREAT!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANAwoe4LLxNHW
The children charge after the fleeing royal carriages, waving sticks like tiny warriors, shouting:
75Please respect copyright.PENANA8HNvu9bSdB
Kids
“GO!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANAPBJ6nM98ZN
Parents scramble to grab them, pulling them back before they get too close to the wheels. Strawhat pushes through the chaos, urgency in his voice.

Strawhat:(points urgently)
“Rose—up here! Lilly—you have rations in the chest for Miss Ana! There!”
75Please respect copyright.PENANAIiCqSlzWrj
He lifts Rose up toward the front bench. Curtis stamps anxiously, sensing the tension close by. The wagon lurches forward.
75Please respect copyright.PENANATbzQ5Oa6Pa
Dust kicks up.
75Please respect copyright.PENANAPZwDTpRWGD
The horses and carriages from Hasan infantry are tiny orbs in the distance now. The kids keep yelling until they’re specks in the distance.The adults stand there, breathless.
