Man On The Moon

XXVII

Elio, with a sinister smile gracing his face, gazes at the combined group standing before him.

Elio: "Well, well, look who's gathered here. An impressive assembly indeed. But let me remind you all—you're fighting a losing battle, fighting against the very fabric of destiny. Your efforts will be in vain."

He chuckles darkly, his confidence evident.

Elio: "I have the power to see the path ahead, to weave the threads of fate to my liking. Even with your collective strengths, you can't defy what has been written. Your resistance is as futile as it is entertaining."

With unwavering determination in their eyes, Vettel, Seele, Topaz, Numby, Himeko, Welt Yang, Nolan, Liana, Stelle, Caelus, Firefly, Luocha, Sushang, Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, Yanqing, March7th, Silver Wolf, Qinque, Fugue, Moze, Rappa, Acheron, Dan Heng, Kafka, Blade, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, Aventurine, Serval, Bronya, Robin, Sparkle, Gepard, Fei Xiao, and Sunday respond in unison.
Together, they declare with conviction: "We stand together, against your manipulation of fate. We will write our own story, and shape our destiny. Your control over us ends now!"

Elio sneers in response, his arrogance still evident.

Elio: "You think you can defy my vision, and change the course of events? You're fools to think you have any control over the threads I weave. Your struggle is pathetic, your defiance pointless."

Vettel steps forward, his resolve unyielding.

Vettel: "We won't be swayed by your words. We'll continue to fight, to defy your notion of fate. We have our destinies to shape, and we won't let your script dictate our lives."

Seele adds her determination to Vettel's defiance.

Seele: "You may see the path we're supposed to follow, but that doesn't mean we'll mindlessly walk down it. We have our own will, our aspirations, and we'll determine our future, no matter what your script says."

Topaz chimes in, her confidence shining through.

Topaz: "We've all come from different paths, with our reasons to defy your control. But one thing binds us together—our desire for freedom and choice. We won't let you manipulate our lives without a fight."

Numby, standing alongside Topaz, nods with determination.

Numby: "Squeak."

Himeko speaks up, her gaze unwavering.

Himeko: "You claim to see the future, but you've overlooked one crucial thing—the indomitable spirit within each of us. We're not pawns in your game; we're players in our own lives."

Welt Yang, his wisdom and experience evident, offers his perspective.

Welt Yang: "You may believe you control the strings, but we refuse to be mere puppets. We'll forge our path, defying the confines of your predicted endings."

Nolan, his composure steady, affirms their conviction.

Nolan: "You've underestimated us. We won't be manipulated by your visions. We'll carve our path, even if it means defying fate itself."

Liana, her voice filled with determination, adds her perspective.

Liana: "You may think you hold the power to dictate our destinies, but we refuse to be bound by your script. We'll shape our realities, charting our courses through this unpredictable world."

Stelle and Caelus, side by side, declare their determination.

Stelle and Caelus: "We won't be controlled by your perceived fate. We'll fight for our destinies, creating the future we truly want, not the one you've prescribed for us."

Firefly, her eyes set with determination, speaks up with a strong resolve.

Firefly: "You may have foreseen a certain path for us, but know this—we won't accept it without a fight. We'll defy your expectations, forging our future, no matter how difficult the journey may be."
