🔥 INT. BURNING FLAMES CITY – UNDERWORLD STAGE – NIGHT
A massive black stage lit by lava pillars. Smoke swirls. Vivra stands at the mic with the Dark Sword strapped across her back. Lyrica floats above, dual-wielding the Pop Rock Sword and Tonal Sword, surrounded by demonic backup dancers.
🎤 VIVRA & LYRICA – DEMON SONG:
"Shatter the Silence"
🎵
LYRICA:
Let the melody twist like a knife,
Let it scream, let it steal their life!
We are not echoes—we are the crash,
Of truth remixed into ashes and flash!
VIVRA:
Every step a spell, every kill a chord,
My sword drinks deep from the throat it adored.
Sing for your kings and gods above—
We sing for chaos, rage, and love.
🎤 UNISON:
Bend the beat—break the dawn!
Let the humans know they're pawns!
We are rhythm's final breath—
We are music made of death!
🎵
The demons roar. The Earth above rumbles slightly…
CUT TO – VILLAGE ARENA – DAY
A circular white arena atop the rebuilt village. People gather. Banners of each swordsman wave in the wind. On a central crystal display—the Tournament Bracket loads in with magical light.

INT. WAITING HALL – BEHIND THE STAGE
All First-Class swordsmen wait together. They're dressed in matching capes. Symbol of the trial: a burning feather over a blade.
SHIN-RI (looking at bracket):
I fight Kinra first...
MAEN (gritting teeth):
Yama's tough. Big swings. No style.
YUREI (smiling softly):
Clyde moves like smoke… but he has no melody.
💬 CHANTING – THE FIRST CLASS ANTHEM
All First-Class swordsmen gather in a circle. They clasp hands, foreheads bowed.
ALL (chanting):
🎤
"By blade we rose, by flame we stand,
Through winds and tides, we raise our hand.
From ash to crown, we do not fall—
For this is our blade... our final call."
🎤
MAEN (grabbing Yurei and Shin-Ri)
MAEN:
Alright you two—group hug or I cry right now.
They all hug. The wind picks up. The crowd outside begins to cheer.
EXT. STAGE – ANNOUNCER'S VOICE RISES
ANNOUNCER:
Let the First-Class Sword Trials… BEGIN!
CUT TO – VIVRA WATCHING THROUGH A MIRROR
Vivra smirks, watching the trial from her shadow mirror.
VIVRA:
Let them sing. When we arrive, we'll change the rhythm.
Lyrica hums behind her. The Tonal Sword glows… wrong.
