A shadowy figure woke up and found himself floating, surrounded by everlasting darkness. He was in the void, sent there after his defeat, and forced to spend the rest of his days in darkness.

"How could I lose?" the figure shouted in pure rage. "I shouldn't have underestimated my enemy... and now I am stuck here, unable to get out."

"I will not let it rest!" he yelled, clenching his fist. "I will return, one way or another, and destroy this world for good!"

The shadowy figure started pacing, thinking rapidly for a plan. Suddenly, his eyes glowed and he smirked.

My power may be limited to this empty void, but it will be enough for my plan to succeed.

He summoned the last of his power and created an unknown figure. He felt drained, but it was worth it.

"Your name is Mace," he said to his creation. "Break out of this void and destroy the world and anyone that opposes you."

The creation turned into a human-like form and smirked. "Of course, master. I will destroy everything in my path."
