EXT. EARTH – SKYLINE
Daylight was gone. The once-blue sky was torn open, a gaping scar glowing crimson. The barrier that had long shielded Earth flickered and cracked as Karnex's flagship loomed above the planet like a shadow of doom.
The air grew heavier with each passing moment. People clutched their throats, gasping — the oxygen thinning, poisoned by the dark energy. Animals collapsed. Cars halted in chaos. The city streets descended into panic.
INT. KARNEX'S FLAGSHIP – THRONE ROOM
Karnex stood tall, his eyes glowing like embers. Behind him, monstrous war machines stirred to life — the Army of the Shardborne. Each one radiated corrupted shard energy.
KARNEX(commanding)Fear is the beginning. Despair is the end. Let humanity see the truth… that they are nothing before me.
The ship trembled as the hatches opened. Thousands of soldiers dropped to Earth, their footsteps shaking the ground like war drums.
EXT. EARTH – CITY CENTER
Citizens screamed and ran as the army landed in waves. Buildings cracked, glass shattered, and the red sky bled light over the ruins. The Rangers arrived, teleporting in at once — but for the first time, even they felt the suffocating pressure of the poisoned atmosphere.
KAEL(clutching chest)The air's too thin—this isn't just fear. He's trying to make Earth uninhabitable.
LYRA(grim)He wants a wasteland. A world he can drain dry.
The Rangers stood together, their mother watching from the base's comm-link, fear in her eyes.
INT. NOVA BASE – CONTROL ROOM
Zevor slammed his hands on the console.
ZEVORHe's begun the Final Phase. If the red sky expands, Earth won't survive the week.
VEYRA(to the Rangers via comms)Your suits can protect you for now — but humanity won't last. Karnex is forcing you to fight on his terms.
The camera cuts back to Earth: Karnex's massive shadow descending from the skies, his laughter echoing across the red horizon.
EXT. CITY – CHAOS
The Rangers activated their morphers, standing against waves of Shardborne soldiers. The battle was overwhelming — a storm of sparks, explosions, and collapsing buildings. Civilians were trapped everywhere, terrified.
DAIKI(firing his Resonance Amplifier)We can't just fight them — we have to protect people!
Lyra covered children with her shield, Zayn cleared debris, Ryana guided survivors. Meanwhile, Kael charged headfirst into the heart of the Shardborne, eyes burning with determination.
EXT. SKYLINE – KARNEX'S SHADOW
Above all this chaos, Karnex's figure loomed from the flagship. His voice shook the air.
KARNEXLet your last breath taste of ash, Rangers. Your Earth is already mine.
The sky roared redder, lightning flashing through the poisonous clouds as the ground itself trembled.
The Rangers looked up, battered but unyielding.
LYRA(through grit teeth)Not while we still stand.
