A Sudden Attack

In the early hours of dawn, the sky above the Sturdy Path Stronghold glowed with a faint hue of purple, signaling the beginning of a new day. The stronghold's gates stood tall and imposing, their metallic surface reflecting the soft light. Inside, the air buzzed with a tension that had steadily grown since Kazuichi and Ryuunosuke had arrived. The prospect of war weighed heavily on everyone's minds. Kazuichi had hoped that the alliance with the Sturdy Path would provide some respite, but now the looming threat of Hayato's Mindless Hybrid Army and the monstrous Omega Zombie seemed more real than ever.
