Episode 10: "Ashes and Visitors"
[LOCATION: Underground Tech Bunker – Moments After the Breach Alert]The alarm shrieks. Red lights strobe across the steel walls. Dust drifts from the ceiling as heavy boots echo in the corridors.
Jett (yelling):"Multiple hostiles inbound! They traced the signal!"
Kael doesn't panic. He tightens his gloves, slides a fresh mag into his sidearm, and pulls the hood of his jacket up. His face stays unreadable—calm like a storm that hasn't hit yet.
Kael (quietly):"Jett. Lock down the south entrance."
Jett:"On it. But, Kael—"
Kael glances at him. Just a glance, and Jett shuts up.
[SFX: BOOM! The outer blast door shatters. Sparks rain down.]
Kael (grinning slightly):"Showtime."
[ACTION SEQUENCE]The first wave storms in—armored, armed, and fast. Kael moves faster. Bullets slice the air, but none touch him. He twists through the chaos, disarming one, dropping another with a knee to the throat, then ripping a rifle mid-spin and unloading a burst without looking. Every motion is precise. Cold.
Jett fires from behind cover with surgical precision, muttering:"This guy's insane..."
[MID-FIGHT – A mysterious masked figure appears in the shadows near the breach.]Long coat, dual katanas, stance sharp and deliberate. The figure doesn't move yet. Just watches.
Kael notices—only for a second—but doesn't break rhythm.
Kael (to himself, low):"...No way."
[FIGHT ENDS.]The last enemy drops. Kael holsters his gun, still scanning. The masked figure is gone—like smoke. Only two shallow cuts mark the steel door where he stood.
Kael kneels, touches one of the cuts. Perfect blade work.His hand trembles. Just once.
Kael (whispers):"Ran...?"
[CUT TO BLACK]
