Earth – Post-Ghoul Invasion, Rooftop, Accra Cyber Streets, Night breeze blowing, soft neon reflections across their faces]
(The group stands overlooking the city. Their auras are flickering in containment mode—compressed, but still unmistakably radiant. The battle is done. For now. They're safe. The world? Healing. Minds? Stabilized. But they've been seen... the city knows… heroes walk among them.)
---
Sonia (arms crossed, wind brushing her braids):
"They saw us…"
Jack (looking at his hand, the golden lightning from the Temple of Divinity still humming quietly):
"Yeah… but for once… I don't mind being seen."
Henry (grinning, dream bolt forming and dissipating between his fingers):
"Eii. We saved the world, and all I got was blurry footage on TikTok."
Kennedy (smirking while holding a holo-pad, fingers subtly flicking invisible syntax in the air):
"They'll only remember a feeling… like a dream they almost had. No viral fame here. Perception hack still active."
Charles (Sigil suit slowly retracting into his arm, like it was never there):
"Good. Last thing we need is sponsors asking us to do skincare ads while fighting corruption ghouls."
Yyvone (leaning on the railing, Threadrift humming like spider silk):
"I just wanted peace. But maybe… we have to earn it… every time."
Ian (sword sheathed, eyes half-closed, serious):
"They'll come again. Shadows always find a way back. But now… we cleave inevitability."
Osei (quietly, eyes distant as if already scanning potential futures):
"The Shift told me. This was one arc… not the end."
Sonia (soft smile, emotional spectrum glowing in her eyes):
"We're different now… not just powers… but who we are. Who we chose to be."
Jack (looking at the skyline, voice deep, calm):
"No chains. No lies. No more hiding from our divinity…"
Henry (elbows Jack with a grin):
"Osofo-man Jack has entered the temple!"
Jack (laughing, rolling his eyes):
"Bro, I'm serious—"
Kennedy (cutting in with a mischievous grin):
"He's divinely serious. There's a difference."
(They all laugh. It's brief. But real.)
Charles (looking down at the streets, the cheers, the chants):
"Whether they remember us or not… it doesn't matter. The world is safer. The mind… clearer."
Yyvone (whispers):
"For now."
---
(The camera would pan out. The cyber streets hum. Drones fly overhead. The crowd cheers. But nothing sticks on film. Heroes seen… but never caught.)
Ian (under his breath, walking away):
"Next time… we'll be ready."
Osei (nodding):
"And if we're not… we shift the future until we are."
CYBERNETIC ACCRA MALL – NIGHT]
The sky outside hums with deep violet neon. Inside, the mall buzzes with floating trays, cyber palm trees, and holographic kente streams dancing on the glass ceiling. On the top floor restaurant, the heroes sit at a long, levitating table shaped like a lightning bolt. The vibe? Power… with jollof spice.
They're all laughing. Some with full plates. Some with fries floating midair.
---
Henry (pointing at his empty plate):
"I swear on Dreamstone's shine—I needed that shawarma, but the bolt said nah fam, you just want it."
Yyvone (chuckling):
"Brooo, your power needs therapy. Like—give this boy a sandwich!"
Sonia (nodding toward the waitress now giggling with some random baby):
"I didn't even mean to override her whole aura, but...guess my inner sweetheart said wakey wakey, love mode activated."
Charles (smirking, sipping from a glowing calabash):
"You're welcome for the 80% off everything. I'm basically the Robin Hood of fine dining. Runes over riches."
Kennedy (reclining, arms behind his head):
"And I made that dude over there drop his burger 13 times in a row. He thinks he's in a food-based Groundhog Day. I love causality loops."
Ian (chuckling but still chewing):
"I swear if I hear 'Eve Maid still in the Free Abyss' one more time, I'm blocking her on soul frequency."
Sonia (sighs dramatically):
"My ex said I had too many emotions… Now I weaponize them. Irony. Delicious."
Yyvone (playfully bumps Sonia):
"Girl, I was a crippled orphan with barrier issues—if I can thread a new life, you can too."
Henry (smirking):
"I used to be a player before I became a prayer. These powers humbled me."
Kennedy (mock serious):
"Touching grass? Girlfriends? No thanks. That's horror movie content. My Avia knows. She codes me single."
Charles (raising brow):
"I debug feelings for breakfast. And romantic subplots? Corrupt files. Sorry, Sonia. Yvy. No offense."
Yyvone (pretending to be offended):
"Rude."
Sonia (sips):
"Blocked."
(They all look at Jack, who's quietly munching cassava fries.)
Jack (eyes darting):
"…Why y'all looking at me? I don't got anyone."
Henry (grinning, taps Jack's shoulder):
"My man…what about Lia back in Airious? Don't play dumb—sweet future-shy sculptress. Come on now."
Charles (leaning in):
"Bro, you literally lit up a temple for her once."
Kennedy (teasing):
"Temple of Divinity... or should we say Destiny?"
Jack (blushing, but playing it cool):
"I just respect her art, that's all."
Ian (chiming in):
"Respectfully, you're lying."
(Laughter erupts again.)
---
Jack (suddenly raising his hand):
"Hold up—watch this."
Lightning surged from his palm like liquid silk. It danced into the air and gently flowed around the chandeliers and ceiling screens—turning the entire mall into a shimmering Aurora glow. Pink-gold skies. Floating feathers. Trees with leaves made of shifting light.
Yyvone (wide-eyed):
"Whoa. It feels like Airious is...visiting Earth."
Henry (standing):
"Look at this divine interior décor! Michelin Star from the gods!"
Sonia (twirling a glowing fork):
"We might as well open a realm-themed restaurant."
Kennedy (deadpan):
"Welcome to 'Crave of Clarity'—try our cursed shawarma."
Osei (from a seat nobody realized he was sitting in):
"I've been here the whole time, y'know."
Everyone:
"WHAT?!"
Charles (jumping):
"Bro!! Were you stealthing?!"
Osei (shrugging, sipping calmly):
"Instinct Manipulation. I didn't wanna talk about crushes."
Kennedy (muttering):
"Ninja ghost mode, I swear..."
---
Narrator (softly):
They laughed under colored skies. Not just warriors of realms—but teens of Earth. Their minds, their powers, their dreams… safe, for now.
Jack's divine lightning hue — hues of Aurora swirling in the sky like it remembered home. The group is laughing, joking, full of banter — until reality folds... and two familiar figures walk through the air as if it were solid.
---
[Jack notices them first — eyes widening, but heart steady.]
Jack (softly):
"…He came."
Sonia (turns):
"Who—"
Henry (eyes sparkling):
"No way…"
[Valitor lands, not walking — resonating. Beside him, Grandpa Kofi adjusts his cloak like he just got off a Sunday trotro ride.]
Kennedy (drops his drink):
"That's... Valitor. THE Valitor. Jack. Your dad is glowing like a cosmic monument."
Charles (half-joking, half-reverent):
"This man's aura could crash a server farm."
Yyvone (a whisper):
"He feels like... an unspoken truth…"
Osei (breaking his silent cloak for once):
"He's not supposed to be here... he's transcended. He shouldn't be."
---
[Valitor chuckles gently. The kind of laugh that tastes like wisdom aged in sacrifice.]
Valitor:
"Yet, here I am. A ripple from the In-Between. I told Henry I'd come back. And Jack… son… I couldn't miss this moment."
Jack (tears caught in pride):
"I felt you… I knew you'd come, Hegroth and Igna ain't got nothing on you.."
---
[Kofi steps forward, hands in his robe like it's a jacket from Kantamanto.]
Kofi (to Henry, with that sly grin):
"Introduce your old man properly before I knock you out with a history lesson."
Henry (laughing):
"Guys, this is Grandpa Kofi. He's the reason I don't suck. And... turns out, he's not just old — he's Airien knight old."
Sonia (gasps):
"You've been protecting Earth this whole time?"
Kofi:
"Some protect through power. Others through presence. I chose both."
---
[The group stands still, absorbing the weight of what just entered their world. Kennedy's fingers twitch as he suppresses the urge to rewrite reality just to keep this memory from fading.]
Valitor (gazing at them all):
"You're the future. I see it in your sparks. In your chaos. In your compassion."
Jack:
"Are you staying?"
Valitor (smiles, bittersweet):
"I can't. The In-Between calls. But I left more than blood in you, Jack. I left clarity. I left light. I left choice."
Henry (fists clenched, a little choked):
"You'll come back, right?"
Valitor:
"I promise. And you, all of you... make Earth a place worth returning to."
---
[Kofi claps his hands.]
Kofi:
"Well, before the emotional piano starts playing, I say we get some actual food next time. That 'dream pizza' wasn't even spicy."
Yyvone (giggling):
"Grandpa Kofi is such a vibe."
Valitor (as his body begins to shimmer, fading):
"Until then... remember — power is not your strength. Purpose is."
---
[The winds shift. The rooftop dims. Jack's aura flickers... and a single feather of lightning floats where his father once stood.]
Osei (quietly):
"That… was not a glitch in the system."
The Antique Store – Metaphysical Station of Airious
The students step inside, and a familiar musty scent greets them. Dust dances lazily in the sunlight peeking through the blinds. Old clocks tick with no rhythm, books line every shelf, and artifacts from forgotten centuries crowd every corner. But there's a weight in the air—thicker than memory. Something divine.
Kofi (smirking):
"Welcome back to where it all began... again. Dust and destiny always share a room, don't they?"
Jack (softly, eyes scanning):
"This place... it hasn't changed a bit."
He walks over to the same shelf he once touched when he felt the Creation Stone's pulse.
Henry (grinning):
"Still smells like history had a barbecue in here."
Sonia (looking around, eyes narrowing):
"Wait… this is the place from my dream... before I got my Affinity."
Charles (holding up a rusted compass):
"I always thought this compass was broken... until it pointed me to my dad's hospital the day I almost gave in to fraud. This place knew..."
Kennedy (tapping a dusty frame, feeling a pulse):
"It's like it was waiting. Every object here has... potential."
Kofi (nodding):
"This isn't just a store. This... is the Metaphysical Station of Airious. Where Earth's illusions and Airious' truths flirt in secret."
Yvonne (suddenly still, touching the wall):
"I feel threads. So many... all connecting us."
Osei (appearing beside them, as if he'd always been there):
"I was here before too... I remember hearing your voices. Before any of you saw me."
Sonia (startled):
"Osei!? Bro, were you walking behind us the entire time?!"
Osei (deadpan):
"I walked beside you. You just didn't notice. Instinct Manipulation isn't just dodging punches... it's dodging presence."
Kofi (chuckling warmly):
"That's what makes you dangerous, Osei. You don't just hide—you let others believe the hiding was their idea."
He claps twice, a resonant echo booming like thunder muffled in velvet. The dust lifts, vanishes.
The room shifts.
Golden hues unfold across the floor like dawn on glass. Walls stretch out, then ripple, becoming translucent. Shelves vanish and reappear, infinite, holding knowledge that didn't exist a moment ago. Ceiling becomes sky, floor becomes reflection, but they're still in a store.
Charles (gasping):
"It's like... the room is responding to us...!"
Kennedy (spinning in awe):
"This is framework-level rewriting. We're inside a concept."
Kofi (voice calm, yet commanding):
"You're not students anymore. You're walking paradoxes. Vessels of Avia, touched by Creation.
This place mirrors you. Your clarity. Your confusion. Your truths and your fears. Every time you return here... it will be different. Because you are."
Jack (stepping forward, eyes sparking with divine glow):
"Is this where Valitor first awakened too?"
Kofi (smiling faintly):
"No. But it's where he chose not to fall. Where he understood his burden wasn't just power—it was purpose.
This place shows reflections. Not the kind in mirrors—but in meaning."
Henry (quietly):
"So... why are we back now?"
Kofi (eyes glinting):
"Because the war's not over. And the next battle... won't be on Earth or in Airious.
It'll be somewhere between the two. And only those who've seen their own reflection can walk that path."
Sonia (looking down, then up):
"And what do we do here?"
Kofi:
"You listen. Not with ears, but with experience. The objects around you remember what you've forgotten.
They'll awaken parts of your Affinities you didn't know you had. Let them."
Kennedy (touching a blank canvas that now glows):
"This... this just showed me a future I might become. A... lonely one."
Kofi:
"Then rewrite it. That's your gift."
There's a long silence. Each student now walking their own corner of the infinite store. A stillness. Then Osei speaks.
Osei (muttering):
"I can feel them watching."
Kofi (nodding solemnly):
"The Ghouls. Some left their marks. Some are waiting. But don't be afraid.
Because unlike them... you remember who you are."
Jack (clenching fists, divine lightning flickering):
"And we'll make sure they remember why they fear us."
A golden wind sweeps through the store as if in applause.
Kofi (grinning):
"Well said, Jack Sterling Oberempong.
Now... let the real awakening begin."
The Antique Store – now glowing with a glassy, infinite shine. The students stare in awe, laughter echoing from earlier slowly quieting. A glowing doorway opens, and in steps KAINEN – noble, calm, and armored in the flowing robes of the Mastery Affinity. His eyes shimmer with a spectrum of Avia light.]
---
KAINEN (stepping in gracefully):
"...Well, well... Looks like my wild seeds have bloomed."
JACK (grinning):
"Kainen?! You're here?!"
IAN (nodding respectfully):
"The Temple sends its master..."
SONIA (amazed):
"Wait—he looks different now. More... radiant?"
KAINEN (smiling with a quiet nod):
"I've walked through a few storms since we last met. But you all—you're glowing differently.
Jack... I felt your Temple of Divinity from galaxies away."
JACK (rubbing the back of his head):
"Heh, yeah... That was kinda spontaneous. Like an instinct. But it felt right."
OSEI (quietly, but firm):
"Same here... I tapped into something deeper.
I call it Future Shift. I don't just dodge attacks now—I dodge outcomes."
CHARLES (grinning proudly):
"I forged the Sigil Suit. Built it with my inscription. It's not just armor... It's a story wrapped around me."
IAN (tightening the grip on his blade):
"And mine's called the Cleave of Inevitability.
It doesn't cut what's in front of me... It cuts what must fall."
KAINEN (turning to Grandpa Kofi):
"You picked good ones, old friend."
GRANDPA KOFI (laughing warmly):
"I only sharpened the edges... They did the rest. Though, I did save their necks more times than they know."
HENRY (grinning):
"And almost gave us a heart attack with that whole 'infinite glass store' move."
KOFI (winking):
"A little flair never hurts."
KAINEN (approaching the center of the store):
"This place... it has seen beginnings, endings, and the truths in between.
You all thought you came here for refuge... but it was Airious that called you here.
It's not just a room—it's a reflection."
SONIA (gently):
"Then... are we ready now?"
KAINEN (eyes narrowing with pride and purpose):
"You're not the same students I sent to Earth.
You're creators now... wielders of truths, born from pain and paradox."
KOFI (nodding beside him):
"And from here on... the real trials begin. The Free Abyss stirs.
And the Ghouls? They've started whispering names again."
JACK (stepping forward, voice firm):
"Let them whisper.
Because we're done running from shadows... we're about to teach them how to scream."
KAINEN (with a proud, calm smirk):
"Then welcome back, my champions of the humanity "
The infinite antique store gleams in ethereal gold and glass, the air shimmering like memory itself. Everyone stands in a wide circle. Kainen, cloaked in soft armor of flowing runes, faces the group with a solemn gaze. The mention of Omega Devia echoes like a thunderclap in silence.]
---
Kainen (arms folded, voice steady):
"Traxis has done it. He's rebuilt Devia... but now, it's called Omega Devia.
Born from rage, sculpted by resentment, and perfected in isolation.
It's no longer a path—it's a rebellion.
The candidates who enter it now?
They don't just wield power…
They become it. Mind, soul, and spirit—all synchronized with its core.
They are no longer learning Avia...
They are forcing it into submission."
---
Jack (eyes narrowing, confused but bold):
"But wait… wasn't Avian Compression created because of his sacrifice?
Didn't it save the world when it limited us?
Wasn't that an honor—something noble?"
---
Kainen (lowers his gaze, jaw tightens):
"He didn't see it that way...
He saw it as a leash.
To him, the compression wasn't honor—it was an apology.
A monument of pity.
He believed the system evolved behind his back…
Without needing him.
And instead of feeling fulfilled—he felt...
forgotten."
---
Osei (calm, yet with an underlying ache in his voice):
"No...
It wasn't the system that betrayed him...
It was his ego.
If Avia changed and didn't ask for permission...
If it honored him in a way he couldn't control...
Then to him, it wasn't honor at all.
It was mockery."
---
Charles (softly):
"He wanted legacy…
But what he got was evolution."
---
Ian (gripping his sword handle):
"Then he's not just rebuilding Devia...
He's rewriting history."
---
Yvonne (barrier threads flickering in her fingers):
"But legacy doesn't belong to the creator…
It belongs to those who live it."
---
Henry (glancing at Jack, fists charged with electricity):
"And if Omega Devia rises…
Then we need to remind them—
That compression didn't diminish us...
It refined us."
---
Kainen (nods slowly, a hint of pride in his voice):
"You've all grown...
And you see clearer than most knights.
But remember—Traxis isn't just fighting for power...
He's fighting to erase regret."
---
Jack (eyes glowing faintly, whispering):
"Then we fight…
To remember why we chose sacrifice in the first place."
---
Grandpa Kofi (off to the side, chuckling with a wise smile):
"Well said, young lightning...
Now get ready.
Omega Devia isn't just a battleground—
It's a testament.
And every step you take from here...
Will echo through all of Airious."
---
(The room hums as if reacting to the weight of the words. The golden light pulses like a heartbeat... and somewhere, far away, Omega Devia awakens.)
