    In the land of the enchanted, where heroes and villains clash, Darna, clad in her golden-red armor, was a beacon of hope. However, her strength was put to the test one fateful day when she faced Braguda, a formidable demon stronger than her.

    The face-off commenced with Braguda seizing Darna, lifting her overhead, and mocking her. Braguda reveled in Darna's momentary vulnerability, savoring the sight of her belly navel and its precious gemstone.

    Braguda then hurled Darna to the ground, a sight that was both shocking and disheartening for those who witnessed it. Without giving her a chance to recover, Braguda lifted her again, soaring into the sky.

    Landing on the ground once more, Braguda's eyes glinted with malicious intent. He lifted Darna overhead again, kissing her thigh and her navel before throwing her to the ground, relishing the power he held.

    Braguda wasted no time, proceeding to absorb Darna's energy through her neck, chest, belly button, and inner thigh. Each absorption lasted a couple of minutes, leaving Darna weaker with every passing second.

    The demon roared in triumph, believing the battle was won. He lifted Darna overhead once more, before tossing her aside like a ragdoll, convinced of his victory.

    But Darna was not defeated yet. With a determined glint in her eyes, she slowly picked herself up. She was a superheroine, and she would not let a demon triumph.
