Since his attempt to warn Avar and Zaki, he had been intently watching the battle unfold. Throughout all the commotion, Mōhai could sense a distant energy building up far behind Yuham: an energy of light filled with wrath, a wrath of a magnitude nothing could ever hope to resist. This was, without a doubt, the Infinite One, and Mōhai instinctively knew that if they allowed Abraxus to reach Yuham, His fury would bring an end to everything that had ever existed. After all, Yuham was the most favored of all creations, the reason that they all knew the Infinite One. 

Now, Mōhai was truly worried. He knew that even the light entities would not be able to withstand the power of the Infinite One’s solution for ending this conflict. His decision, being absolute, would surely come to pass if they failed to control Abraxus. If the infinite force were to be unleashed, the light would diverge, instantly covering the entire plane of existence, incinerating everything. It seemed that existence was destined to be completely dominated by either pure, utter darkness, or by nothing except raw, intense light.

Is this what is to become of us? Mōhai thought in disbelief as he watched Avar and Zaki still courageously resisting the darkness.

There had to be another way. Mōhai had always considered himself of lesser potential than his companions. He had always looked up to them all, trying to be the best of what he had witnessed ever since his creation. But now, when Yuham was at risk of facing the darkness, he would not just stand idle. He was the purest of all lights derived from the purest parts of all the light entities. He would not wait to be the last line of defense anymore while Avar and Zaki faded into the night. He made the decision to meet Abraxus despite the haunting scene in front of him

He knew what he had to do. A moment’s time was what Mōhai wanted to give Avar. The uncertainty now was how to penetrate Abraxus’s form as deeply as possible.

My light connection is still intact, he thought, as he focused on the present moment, but the darkness has evolved exponentially from when we first encountered it. Nevertheless, if I were to release all my energy at once instead of using it in intervals like Avar and Zaki, I might be able to penetrate the darkness before it fills up again. If I can come close to its core, Abraxus will surely focus on me and the sheer tension on Avar and Zaki will lift to give them enough time to replenish their connection.

His plan relied almost entirely upon hope, but Mōhai knew he had to try it regardless; it was the only way he could ensure the continuation of his companions’ existence, and Abraxus’s defeat.

So, with this determination, Mōhai released the light from his energons in full capacity, all at once, his crimson light waves churning wildly around his inner core.

“Go with caution,” he could sense Yuham warning as he surged forward.

“Mōhai,” Nysa cried anxiously.

Mōhai’s light grew brighter and more dazzling as he replied enthusiastically, “I am going to help them–don’t worry about me. Yuham is the truth of the infinite light . And the truth must always live on.”

Abraxus’s entire form jolted in surprise. Within moments, his dark, outer layers were being blasted by an advancing scarlet wave of intense light. Shocked and angry, it tried to locate the source of Mōhai’s energy that was faster than Zaki and Avar and constantly bombarding its extensions.

He jolted forward with time shattering speed, approaching Avar and Zaki, the glimmering darkness filling again where Mōhai left a blazing scarlet trail. Both of them had been diminished to mere flickers of energy. Their lights had been dimmed and their particles had thinned so their structures were hazy and almost transparent. However, they still resisted wave upon wave of the dark forces, surrounded by the black shadows of the realm.

As he sped past them, he communicated, “I am still connected! I will penetrate Abraxus’s form and travel directly to the core, where I will try and incapacitate it—”

Mōhai could still feel the energy rise behind Yuham. It seemed more threatening with every passing moment. “You know what is to come,” he told Avar gravely. “Nothing can survive the infinite light. But we will try to the end to ensure that existence has another chance!”

An understanding seemed to pass through all three light entities. Zaki sensed that Mōhai was asking them to expect the worst, and he could only watch as Mōhai pushed toward the center of the dark dimension, demolishing any clouds of darkness that tried to impede his way.

Abraxus was overcome with fury and disbelief. After enduring so much, they still resist, even after I have weakened them, he thought. What can the smallest of them do when his power is even less than Avar’s? He thinks he can reach my core all alone?

Abraxus recoiled with insanity. It summoned a super cluster of dense,  dark matter, making the realm even blacker than it had once been, and concentrated it until it had formed a huge, dense dimension of spherical, dark energy. This concentration of darkness shimmered with power and fear, and Abraxus hurled it toward Mōhai, who looked like a crimson blur in the shadowy abyss of the darkness’s structure.

The following collision was of such tremendous magnitude that the echoing blow spread millions of light-years away from the battlefield. Avar and Zaki were helpless as they sensed the shockwaves. They raced toward Yuham.

The collision made Mōhai halt as it had severed his connection, vaporizing the column of light that had come to be his sole energy to get closer.

Connection or not, I am very close. I can still make it to its core, Mōhai thought anxiously.

At that instant, Mōhai felt an enormous rush of energy pushing behind him, and he sensed two orbs, one golden and one a deep violet, merging into his silvery-red inner core. He knew it was a gift from Yuham and Nysa, who had always been there to help him. And now he would fulfill his duty of protecting them.
