VEILBREAKERSEpisode 6: "King's Gambit"
(Peak begins here)
[LOCATION: Same parking garage. Lights flickering. Enemies moving in organized formations. Tech drones hovering. Assault rifles ready. Whisper comms in their earpieces.]
Operator (whispering):"Target sighted. Orders?"
Radio Crackle. Another voice. Calm. Authority."Bring him in breathing. If he resists… break bones."
➔ Kael doesn't flinch. His sword's blade catches the dim light. Shotgun slung. Calm. Smirking.
Kael (to Jett, casual):"Bet you five they don't make it five seconds."
➔ Jett blinks, confused—then—
➔ ➔ ➔ Kael moves. Not fast. Just… final.
One step forward—➔ ➔ ➔ The concrete beneath his foot cracks.➔ ➔ ➔ The air compresses.
Operator (eyes going wide):"What the—"
➔ Too late.
➔ ➔ ➔ Three of them stagger backward—before he even swings. Their minds are breaking under the pressure of Kael's Advanced Dominion Will.
Jett (staring, whispering):"…What are you doing?"
➔ Kael smiles slightly."Me? Nothing."
➔ ➔ ➔ SLASH.➔ ➔ ➔ The sword barely hums—but three rifles drop to the ground. Arms cut. Clean.
One drone fires—Kael tilts his head.➔ ➔ ➔ The bullet curves—curves—past his ear, missing.
➔ The leader tries to scream orders—but Kael's already there.➔ Palm to the chest. Dominion Will compresses—BOOM. The man is thrown backward like he got hit by a truck. Concrete shatters behind him.
Jett (whispers):"…You're terrifying."
➔ More coming. More armored vehicles outside. Floodlights swinging.
➔ ➔ ➔ Kael looks up at the broken Veil above—fractures still lingering like cracks in glass. And he feels it:
"This isn't the end. This is the start."
Kael (soft, almost laughing):"Advanced Dominion Will. Cute name. I'm gonna need something better soon."
➔ BEEP. Incoming comm ping. Jett's wrist device flickers—new symbol. Different from their organization. Clean. Sharp. Unknown.
Voice on comm (calm, unfamiliar):"Kael. They've been watching you. We've been watching them."
➔ New enemy. New organization. Bigger threat.
Kael (grins):"Finally. Something fun."
