[Scene: A war-torn dimension where time itself is cracking - debris, swirling energy, and chaos. The team confronts Mirror Ben and Crimson Gargoyle. Eon and his allies are watching from a platform above.]

Ben: (gritting his teeth, facing his mirror self)
"You're not me. You're just everything I was afraid I'd become."

Mirror Ben: (voice warped, echoing with malice)
"No, I am you. The anger. The pressure. The weight of being a hero. I just stopped pretending it didn't hurt."

Albedo: (steps forward, standing between them)
"That's exactly why you lost. Because pretending to be strong isn't strength. It's knowing when to ask for help."

Kevin: (charging his Antitrix power)
"We don't have time for therapy. That Gargoyle thing's gonna tear through the fabric of space if we don't shut it down!"

Razeon: (Sentinel armor pulsing)
"Eon's feeding it energy from the rift. We cut off the source-we stop the collapse."

Ben: (nods, eyes glowing with Beast of the Arena power)
"Then let's move. I'll take mirror-me. Albedo, with me."

Albedo: (smirks slightly)
"First time you said that without wanting to punch me."

[Cut to: Gwen and Charmcaster standing before Lilith Nightshade, who is casting black fire from her hands, tearing through the air.]

Lilith Nightshade:
"You think your little alliance means anything? Gwen, you're still just a girl pretending to control magic you barely understand."

Charmcaster: (icy tone)
"And you're a bitter has-been playing goddess. You should've stayed in the shadows."

Gwen: (Shadowstrike Guardian aura flaring)
"We're not afraid of you anymore. Together-"

Charmcaster: (interrupting, raising a frost glyph)
"-we finish this. For real."

[The battle explodes in two directions. Cut back to Ben and Albedo approaching Mirror Ben.]

Mirror Ben: (gliding over shattered ground)
"You brought him? The fake me? Desperate."

Ben: (quietly)
"He's not fake. He made mistakes. So did I. We're done running from them."

Albedo: (activates Omniversal Knight form in tandem with Ben)
"And now we fight for something bigger than ourselves."

Mirror Ben: (snarling, summoning a shadowed Omnitrix)*
"Then let's see if your unity can survive truth!"

[They clash. Energy explodes in waves-gold vs. shadow. Across the battlefield, Kevin takes on Xerax, whose movements are ninja-like.]

Xerax:
"You're all instinct, Levin. I'm calculation."

Kevin: (dodges, counters)
"Funny. Instinct's kept me alive this long."

Xerax: (slashes, missing narrowly)
"I wonder if it'll help when you're watching your friends die."

Kevin: (Lunar Assassin mode activates full speed)
"Only one of us is walking away. And it's not the guy hiding behind a mask."

---

[Meanwhile, Dorian Vale watches from above, slumped against a broken time spire. Razeon climbs toward him.]

Razeon (Michael):
"Dorian. You don't have to do this."

Dorian Vale: (voice weak, gaze distant)
"I've seen a thousand futures, Morningstar. In all of them... I die. Maybe it's time."

Razeon: (quiet, almost gentle)
"Then do it on your terms. Help us stop Eon. One last good choice."
