Setting: A desolate battlefield. Nero Dragoon is locked in a fierce battle with Hassan of the Cursed Kings. Her blade clashes against his, but she’s badly injured from a swift strike.

Nero Draco: (gritting her teeth, blood dripping from her wounds) "You think you can stop me, Hassan? I’ll make sure you regret this!"

Hassan of the Cursed Kings: (coldly) "Your time has come, Dragon."

In an instant, Hassan strikes again, a deadly blow that nearly pierces her heart. Nero stumbles, barely staying on her feet.

Nero Draco: (with effort, weakly but determined) "I can’t die here... not like this..."

Barely conscious, she opens a portal, praying for safety. She steps through and collapses into Madara’s house.

Setting: Madara’s home. Madara stands, his eyes narrowing as he sees Nero’s battered form.
