Rei Mendoza, now fully equipped and determined, led the task force through the dark corridors of Gorgom's lair. The atmosphere was tense, every corner hiding potential threats. The team moved in silence, each member clad in the newly enhanced G3 Mild X suits—a more stable and powerful version of the G3X. Diego, Rei's trusted assistant, was by her side, wearing his own suit, ready for whatever lay ahead.
Unbeknownst to the Grand Kaijin, Rei had cleverly placed a tracker on Shadow Moon during their last encounter. The decoy hit had bought her time, allowing her to pinpoint Gorgom's hidden lair and launch this final assault.
Alongside them, a new addition to their arsenal—a secondary bike called Road Sector—rumbled quietly. It was a powerful machine, one that Hikaru would have surely appreciated. Rei's hand tightened around Hikaru's badge, a symbol of the comrade she had lost but vowed to honor.
As they approached the grand chamber, where the final showdown would take place, Rei paused. Holding Hikaru's badge close to her heart, she made a silent promise. "I will bring you back, Faith," she whispered, using the name Hikaru had once dreamed of for her twin sister. "I'll bring you to the light, and together, we'll end Gorgom."
The chamber doors creaked open, revealing a vast room dominated by the imposing figures of the three Grand Kaijin: Sabertooth, Bat, and Mantis. Shadow Moon stood at the center, her presence commanding as always, yet there was a flicker of something different in her eyes—a remnant of the bond she had shared with Hikaru.
Rei stepped forward, her voice echoing through the chamber. "Shadow Moon, no! Faith, Hikaru told me that was the name she wanted to give you. She had faith in you, even now. You can still redeem yourself!"
As if Rei's words had struck a deep chord, Shadow Moon's body tensed. The memories of her twin, the love they once shared, and the horror of what she had done began to flood her mind. Conflicted and torn, Shadow Moon turned to face the Grand Kaijin. The struggle within her was evident, a battle between the darkness Gorgom had instilled and the light that still lingered deep within her soul.
In a sudden burst of emotion, Shadow Moon—or rather, Faith—turned on the Sabertooth Grand Kaijin, striking him with all her might. The blow was powerful enough to send the Kaijin reeling across the chamber. Before the other Grand Kaijin could react, Faith reached down and tore Hikaru's Creation Stone from the Sabertooth Kaijin's grasp, the very stone they had removed from her not long ago.
With a determined resolve, she placed the Creation Stone back into the slot on her chest. The moment it clicked into place, a surge of energy coursed through her, and the memories and essence of Hikaru flowed back into her consciousness. The transformation was immediate—no longer Shadow Moon, but Faith, the true inheritor of the Creation Stone.
The Bat and Mantis Grand Kaijin were bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening. "Lord Shadow Moon, why?" they asked, their voices filled with confusion and fear.
Faith turned to them, her eyes no longer cold and calculating, but filled with the warmth and determination that had once defined her sister. "Don't call me that," she said firmly. "My name is Faith! I will not be your tool for destruction anymore!"
The chamber trembled with the intensity of the moment. The Grand Kaijin, realizing they had lost their most powerful weapon, hesitated, uncertain of their next move.
Rei, seeing the transformation in Faith, felt a surge of hope. "Together," she said, stepping forward, "we'll end Gorgom once and for all."
With Faith by her side, no longer an enemy but an ally, Rei knew that the final battle had begun—but this time, they were fighting together, not just for victory, but for redemption.
