Adam wakes up from the sound of a distant explosion. His eyes flutter open, and he quickly gets up, alert and ready.
The scene outside is chaotic. Sir Pentious's zeppelin hovers menacingly in the sky, armed and ready for battle. His Egg Boiz scatter around, preparing for an assault.

Sir Pentious: (booming) "I am the great Sir Pentious! Inventor, architect of destruction, villain extraordinaire! Alastor, come and face me!"

Adam, clearly annoyed by the disturbance, looks out the window and sees the zeppelin. With a sigh, he steps outside, his eyes glowing with a celestial light. Adam ascends into the air effortlessly, his body emanating an angelic aura. As he rises to confront Sir Pentious, he readies himself to unleash a powerful strike of light.

Just as Adam is about to release his attack, Charlie rushes out of the hotel, panic evident on her face.

Charlie: "Adam, wait! Don’t do it!"

Adam pauses, the light around him pulsing with restrained energy.

Adam: "Why not? He’s causing trouble for no reason."

Charlie: "I know, but we don’t need more destruction right now. Can you just shoo him off."

Adam's expression softens slightly, and the light around him dims. He looks at Charlie, considering her plea.

Adam: "Alright, I'll try, but no promises if he gets aggressive."

Charlie: "Thank you, Adam."

**Cut to Sir Pentious in the Zeppelin**

Sir Pentious watches the scene below, a smirk forming on his face as he sees Adam approaching.

Sir Pentious: "Ah, it seems we have a brave soul coming to face me. Prepare yourselves, Egg Boiz!"

The Egg Boiz scramble to their positions, readying their weapons.

**Cut to Adam in the Sky**

Adam flies up to the zeppelin, stopping a short distance away from it. His voice echoes with authority.

Adam: "Sir Pentious, your presence is not welcome here. Leave now, or face the consequences."

Sir Pentious: "Consequences? Ha! Do you think you can intimidate me, boy? I am Sir Pentious, and I do not fear you!"

Adam's eyes flash with a hint of frustration, but he holds back his power.

Adam: "I'm not here to fight. Just leave, and we can avoid unnecessary conflict."

Sir Pentious laughs maniacally.

Sir Pentious: "Avoid conflict? Where's the fun in that? No, I think I'll stay and see just how much chaos I can cause."

Adam: "Then you leave me no choice."

Adam raises his hand, and a wave of light pulses from his body, enveloping the zeppelin in a blinding glow. The Egg Boiz shield their eyes, and Sir Pentious staggers back, momentarily disoriented.

Adam: "This is your final warning. Leave, or I'll make sure you regret staying."

Sir Pentious, regaining his composure, glares at Adam. But he can see the determination in Adam's eyes and the power he holds.

Sir Pentious: "Very well. But this isn't over. I'll be back, and next time, you won't be so lucky."

With a signal to his Egg Boiz, the zeppelin slowly retreats, disappearing into the distance. Adam descends back to the ground, the angelic light fading away. Charlie rushes over to him, relief evident on her face.
