Dominion of The Beast Masters

The Stellar Vanguard bench was suffused with tension, the weight of their crushing defeat pressing down on every fighter.

Cassian sat hunched over, his hands trembling as he stared blankly at the ground.

Soren's jaw was set tight, his knuckles trembling as he gripped the edge of the bench.

Lyric paced nervously, her face expression now twisting and unfocused.

"We're done," Vale muttered, breaking the silence. "They didn't even use a field spells. They toyed with us. If just one of you fall in the final match…" His voice trailed off, but the implication was clear.

Lucien slammed his fist on the bench, his icy demeanor cracking.

"And now we're up against the Pharaoh. That monster. How the hell are we supposed to not lose against someone like him?!"

Panic rippled through the group, the earlier confidence of Stellar Vanguard now shattered.

Even Aeron Solaris stood silently, his golden colored clothes catching the dim light but lacking its usual luster.

"They're unstoppable," Soren muttered, his voice laced with despair. "Even if we throw everything at them, it won't be enough."

Suddenly, Aeron stepped forward, his move taking the attention of the room. His golden eyes burned with determination as he looked at each of his teammates.

"Enough," he said, his voice firm but calm. The room quieted, every pair of eyes turning to him.

"We've come too far to give up now," Aeron continued. "I know what you're feeling. Fear. Doubt. But I won't let this end in failure. Not for us."

His gaze hardened, the intensity in his expression sparking a faint flicker of hope in his team.

"You've done enough. I'll handle this."

Lucien frowned.

"You mean…"

Aeron nodded, the fire in his voice unwavering.

"Yes. Alone. I'll take the Pharaoh and his team myself. Step aside and trust me."

For a moment, silence filled the air. Then, one by one, the Stellar Vanguard fighters nodded, a mixture of relief and hope washing over them.

Aeron turned toward the arena, his hair moving slightly as he strode away.

At the Golden Cosmos bench, the mood was calm but focused. Zara stood before the team, her voice steady as she briefed them.

"Stay focused," she said. "We only need one point. That's it. Don't take unnecessary risks."

Eratz leaned back, a faint smirk on his face.

"The only problem is their ace. Aeron's field spell is dangerous. If we had Mercury, we could counter him easily and add salt with Raijinara."

Kaida stretched, cracking her neck with a confident grin.

"Relax, Apex. If Mercury were here, it'd make it too easy and it'd just hold Colin and me back. Besides, you heard Zara, no need to go all out. Just one point is enough... And that one point will be Aeron."

Colin said little, but her excitement was clear in the way she adjusted her gloves and glanced at Eratz to imitate his moves.

Eratz noticed it and gave her an encouraging smile, then turned his attention to the Stellar Vanguard bench. He observed them for a moment, and then, his red eyes narrowed, and an idea sparked in his mind.

"Ryder," he called, motioning for him to come closer. "Quick question, how durable are you?"

Ryder raised an eyebrow.

"What? What are you thinking?"

Eratz didn't answer immediately but smirked as he began explaining his idea.

The arena roared as the final fighters took their positions.

Eratz, Kaida, Colin, and Ryder stepped onto the battlefield, their presence commanding attention.

Colin's eyes widened as she took in the massive arena, the sheer scale and energy overwhelming her for a moment. "It's… incredible," she whispered.

"Focus up, Colin," Kaida said with a grin, nudging her lightly. "You'll get used to it."

At the center, the Stellar Vanguard team stood, but only Aeron stepped forward. He exuded an aura of fierce dominance.

The announcer's voice echoed through the coliseum.

"The final match! Golden Cosmos vs. Stellar Vanguard! Let the battle… begin!"

To everyone's surprise, Aeron's three teammates immediately turned and ran, retreating to the edges of the battlefield.

"What the…?" Kaida muttered, her brow furrowing.

Eratz's eyes narrowed as realization dawned.

"What... Damn! Get ready! He's activating his field spell!"

Aeron raised his hand, his golden armor shining brighter. Flames erupted around him, spreading rapidly across the battlefield.

"Savor it! My perfect gift for you all!" Aeron roared.

A massive explosion engulfed the area, the fire spreading like a tidal wave. The audience gasped in horror as Golden Cosmos's team was swallowed by the flames.

When the flames subsided, the battlefield was unrecognizable.

The ground was scorched, glowing with molten cracks. Flames licked the edges of the arena, creating an oppressive heat that radiated outward.

Aeron stood at the center, tall and fierce.

The crowd watched in awe as he surveyed the field, confident that his attack had crippled his opponents.

But then, in the fiery haze, several figures began to rise.

Their eyes glowed through the smoke.

Aeron's confident expression faltered, his eyes widening in shock.

"No…" he whispered.

Across from him, Eratz and his team emerged, their appearances transformed by their beastifications.

Eratz, his body enveloped in blazing energy, and red marks he activated his beastification with Cinderblaze.

His aura crackled with fiery intensity, his hair crossed by blue, red, orange and yellow.

Beside him, Ryder glowed with ember-like energy, Colin's small frame burned with a vivid orange hue, and Kaida's fiery markings pulsed rhythmically.

Aeron's eyes widened in disbelief as the fiery figures rose from the scorched earth.

"How…?" he muttered, his voice trembling as he took a step back.

Eratz stepped forward, his red eyes fixed on Aeron. His voice cut through the crackling flames.

"Elementary reasoning. Now that they can't enter safely, you're all alone here. You didn't protect your team, Aeron. You trapped yourself with us."

Aeron's jaw clenched, and he growled in frustration.

"D... Don't underestimate me!" He raised his hand, summoning his beast.

The ground trembled as the fiery field responded to his call.

"Kaida," Eratz said calmly.

Kaida nodded, her smirk unwavering.

"On it."

As Aeron's ace beast began to materialize, wreathed in golden fire, Kaida's fiery aura intensified.

But then, through the inferno, Aeron caught a glimpse of something else.

Massive eyes, glowing with an intense fiery light, stared back at him through the flames.

The Ardentis faltered, and Aeron's confident smirk faded as the shadow of an enormous creature loomed behind Golden Cosmos.

The size of the beast dwarfed anything on the battlefield.

"What… is that?" Aeron whispered, his voice shaking.

The light surrounding the beast grew brighter until a sudden blast erupted, sending a searing stream of fire across the battlefield.

The explosion was deafening, and the battlefield was engulfed in flames and smoke.

Inside the fiery chaos, bursts of fire and explosions erupted in quick succession. The audience watched in stunned silence, unable to see what was happening within the inferno.

Suddenly, Aeron emerged, his body hurtling through the air before crashing to the ground.

His clothes were scorched, his movements sluggish as he tried to rise, but his strength failed him.

He rolled onto his back, in a bad shape, his golden aura extinguished.

The Stellar Vanguard bench was frozen in shock.

"Aeron…" Vale whispered, his voice barely audible.

Lucien clenched his fists, staring at the burning field.

"Damn... These... C-cover him, as long as he doesn't..."

But his words were cut off as the fire on the battlefield began to swirl violently.

The flames twisted and spun, forming a massive vortex that seemed to swallow the entire field.

The swirling fire converged at a single point, condensing into a dense orb that glowed like a miniature sun.

The heat radiating from it was suffocating, and the crowd shielded their faces from the light.

The orb hovered in the center of the battlefield, its fiery energy pulsating dangerously.

Eratz, standing atop the fiery sphere, crouched before leaping back. With a powerful kick, he sent the orb hurtling toward Aeron's teammates.

The attack tore through the air, roaring like a meteor as it descended on them.

Lucien and Vale stared in horror, frozen as the fiery sun bore down on them.

"What do we do?!" Vale shouted in panic.

But there was no time to act.

The orb landed with a deafening impact, detonating in a catastrophic blast that rocked the entire arena.

The explosion was immense, an eruption of fire and energy that consumed everything in its path.

A massive shockwave rippled outward, shaking the coliseum to its core.

The firestorm illuminated the entire arena, its blinding light forcing the audience to close their eyes.

When the flames finally subsided, the battlefield was unrecognizable.

The scorched earth smoldered, molten cracks running across the ground.

A new fire field covered the arena, the remnants of the devastating attack.

But there were no Stellar Vanguard fighters left standing.

[Golden Cosmos 8 - 0 Stellar Vanguard]

The crowd erupted into cheers, their voices shaking the coliseum with excitement.

This was no longer just a victory, it was a spectacle that would go down in history.

Golden Cosmos first match was a stunning 10/10.

At the Golden Cosmos bench, the staff jumped in joy. Zara, overcome with excitement, hugged Victoria tightly.

"They did it!" Zara exclaimed.

Victoria chuckled.

"Of course they did. What did you expect? They are our aces."

On the field, Eratz absorbed the remaining fire into his body, the flames dimming as he exhaled deeply.

His red eyes scanned the battlefield, and he smiled as he turned to his team.

Kaida crossed her arms, a confident grin on her face.

"Well, that was easier than I thought."

Ryder blinked in disbelief, running a hand through his hair.

"I mean… I didn't expect it to be this one-sided."

Colin looked around, her wide eyes reflecting her surprise.

"It's so… I didn't even do anything."

Eratz smirked, patting Colin on the shoulder.

"It means our training was perfect. Our premiere was a success."

As the flames around them died down completely, the Golden Cosmos team stood tall, their victory absolute.

The public's roaring cheers echoed through the arena, cementing their status as legends of the league.
