Season 1 Episode 10 – "The Third Strike: Blood for Blood"
Scene opens...
The red sky cracked with thunder.
Heavy rain fell — but it wasn't water. It was black and red, sticky and foul. The stench of death.
The battlefield, still soaked with the lapted blood of 35 fallen Wormen, gizzy , shook once again.
A distant roar.
And then… a wave of terror.
Not 20 not 30 not 50 it was
One hundred Wormen. Towering monsters — 25 -30 feet tall, each one of the size of a building.
A grotesque army of nightmares.
Dark black smoke appeared floating in the air, around the terror of deaths .
Some running , some walking , some tall , some short.
Their faces was crippled and covered with red black blood . Jiggy teeth unpolished shape .
Each step they walk the earth trembles
The Strangers stood across the rooftops of Sector 3, breathing heavily, clothes torn, bodies bruised, muscles trembling.
They had already fought for two hours.
They were exhausted. But not broken.
There was silence.
A silence before storm.
Kai's voice broke the silence.
"...They just keep coming..."
Surya clenched his fists. The red rain dripped from his hair. His wet hair covering his one eye but another eye was filled with rage ,anger and frustration.
He stood atop a fallen , half sunken in the land destroyed ,building and leapt. The sky cracked again behind him like a war cry.
> Surya (shouting): "This is not the time to regret! Stand up! If we fall here, then who else will rise?"
Aditya landed beside him, eyes cold, unreadable. He didn't seem frustrated his emotions was raw untill his voice emerged his aggression out from his body.
> Aditya: "We fought to survive. Now we fight to conquer. Show them your rage… Strangers. This is the final round."
Every Stranger roared.
Despite the pain. Despite the fatigue.
This wasn't just a fight. This was survival. This was war.
A war not of lose and win , the war of life and death . They were exhausted but their rage was still awaken.
They screamed as loud as possible .
They jumped into the war of death .

The 3rd Strike Begins
The army of Wormen charged.
Tremors cracked the earth beneath their feet. Buildings shook. Debris fell. Screams echoed once more.
The Strangers scattered with precision:
Shiv's unit charged the first wave.
Regel's team intercepted the second.
Baru's team took on the third.
King and Dara moved to the fourth and fifth respectively.
The rest… were met by Surya and Aditya.

The Battle - A Dance of Death
Shiv moved with fury, sliding under a Wormen and slicing its knees.
With one upward slash, he tore through its chest, splitting it in half piercing through heart.
But these Wormen were smarter, faster, and stronger.
As soon as Shiv leapt again, another Wormen caught him mid-air.
Its fangs opened wide…
But Regel appeared like a shadow, slicing off its fingers and pulling Shiv out with split-second timing.
Their eyes met for a moment—no words, just brotherhood.
---
Baru tried to hold off a massive Wormen's hand. But the beast smashed him into the ground.
Before it could crush him, Dara jumped in—but only to be trapped by another Wormenin mid air .
From behind, King exploded onto the scene, severing the Wormen's arm in one clean cut.
Dara was bleeding. Baru was dazed. But they stood. Because they weren't allowed to fall.
---
Meanwhile...
Surya and Aditya fought like living weapons—synchronized, calculated, untouchable.
Each strike precise. Each kill silent. They were fast, deadly, and untouched by fatigue.
But even they could not protect everyone.

The First Sacrifice
A stranger—Aman, barely 17, fell mid-fight. He was dragged by a Wormen.
> Aman (screaming): "Help me—please! I don't want to die—!"
Surya turned instantly—but he was too far.
Aman stopped struggling.
He remembered. Why he joined. What he wanted to become.
> Aman (whispering): "...I joined the Strangers to stop crying... not to die crying to prove myself to protect those who can't protect themselves"
As he was about to be devoured, he smiled.
And threw his sword into the Wormen's heart.
The Wormen dropped dead.
So did Aman.
Surya and everybody froze.
They had seen death.
But not like this.
Not a boy smiling... while dying.
> Surya's eye widen (voice breaking): "...I'm sorry..."
---
Chaos Unleashed
More strangers began to fell.
Some from exhaustion.
Some eaten alive while fighting others.
One Stranger jumped on over a Wormen, slashed its eye—but slipped from excess fatigue.
The Wormen grabbed him in midair.
Raj, just 16 years old boy a former stranger, ran faster than he ever had before it can't be seen by normal eye .
He leapt onto the Wormen's face, slicing off its jaw to save his brother.
But Raj fell. And this time… no one could catch him and caught by another wormen.
As the Wormen tore him apart—
> Raj (screaming): "If my mother ever asks what happened to me…
Don't say I died. Say I sacrificed.
I died for humanity. For my brothers.
Tell her I found my purpose."

Status Update.
Kai yelled
Wormen Killed: 23
Strangers Remaining: 29 out of 33
Sacrificed: Aman. Raj. And more, unnamed… but never forgotten.
---
The camera pans out.
The battlefield is littered with corpses of both monsters and Men.
But the Strangers still stand in rage.
Covered in blood.
Burning in rage.
Crying silently.
But still standing.

Episode ended
This episode is raw, brutal, and deeply emotional. It delivers on the themes of war, sacrifice, and willpower. The pacing is tight and intense — the rising stakes with 100 Wormen towering over the battlefield, the internal struggle of the characters, and the visual chaos of blood-red rain set a powerful tone. The death of Aman and Raj felt personal, tragic, and impactful — you've written them with heart, even in their brief appearances.
What was Surya feeling internally when Aman died smiling? Did it spark any change in his fighting style or mindset?
2. Will Raj's sacrifice leave a mark on Stranger X (Surya), maybe haunting or motivating him in a deeper way later?
3. What exactly is the nature of the black-and-red rain? Does it have a deeper meaning or chemical effect?
4. What is the "Third Strike" in this arc? Is it symbolic (first strike: survival, second: defense, third: revenge/conquest)?
5. Did any Wormen show fear or hesitation for the first time? If so, could that lead to something later (intelligent Wormen)?
Surya (shouting): "This is not the time to regret! Stand up! If we fall here, then who else will rise?"
