🎵 [Scene 1 – Tokyo, Present Day. Overcast Skies.]
(TVs across the city flicker in broken shopfronts. Static. News plays over bombed visuals of cities.)
NEWS ANCHOR (V.O.):
"The Avengers remain missing after the global rift disaster. Tokyo is under lockdown following the rise of Alterborn attacks. Citizens are urged to avoid unregistered powered individuals. Order must be preserved."
A drone camera pans over a scorched street where a giant claw mark scars the asphalt. Distant thunder rolls.
🎬 [Scene 2 – Ueno Park, dusk.]
Trees sway under a storm breeze. A whimpering boy is backed against a tree by masked enforcers in black armor, armed with energy batons.
ENFORCER 1:
"You're hiding an Alterborn. Where is she?"
BOY:
"I—I don't know… she's gone…"
ENFORCER 2:
"Too slow. We burn the witness."
A baton rises—then:
CRASH!
A feral shape crashes from above, scattering leaves. A silver-haired beast-boy crouches in front of the child, claws digging into the ground. His eyes glow gold.
???:
"Run."
ENFORCER 1:
"Target identified—wolf-type! Fire!"
They charge—too late. A sonic boom of speed. In one breath, Hiro Kuroda / KURO ŌKAMI slashes one across the chest, spins midair, and smashes the other into a tree.
KURO ŌKAMI:
"You hunt Alterborn like prey. But wolves… hunt back."
He vanishes into the smoke. Behind, only howls echo.
🎥 [Scene 3 – Backstage dressing room. A neon sign glows: "RIKO HANABUSA: LIVE IN TOKYO."]
Riko adjusts her earpiece. Her reflection shows her pop-star persona—but her eyes burn with storm-like fire.
ASSISTANT:
"You sure you can perform tonight with the city in lockdown?"
RIKO / STARWAVE (smiling):
"Tokyo needs more than fear. It needs rhythm."
She steps onstage. Cheers erupt. Lights flash. But during her second song—
BOOM!
A mechanical oni crashes through the ceiling, red eyes glowing. Fans scream. Security runs. Riko sighs, drops her mic.
STARWAVE:
"Ugh. Ruined the drop."
She launches into a spinning Soundwave Kick, blasting the oni back with a visible ring of energy. The floor cracks beneath her landing.
STARWAVE:
"Let's turn up the volume."
✨ [Scene 4 – Ancient forest shrine outskirts, nightfall.]
A red thread hums across a spiderweb of shrines. Bells chime softly. A silhouette in white and crimson moves calmly between torii gates.
SAKI / SCARLET ONNA kneels in front of an altar, her hands weaving glowing threads into tight loops.
SCARLET ONNA (softly):
"Another oni awakened in Shibuya. A failed binding."
She finishes stitching the last of her combat thread. Her ceremonial needle glows faintly.
A voice echoes behind her—
RENJI / ONMYO FLARE:
"Then it's time we answer."
Renji steps into view, sliding his charm blade into a sheath of paper and steel.
ONMYO FLARE:
"If the Avengers won't protect Tokyo… we will."
🐺 [Scene 5 – Rooftops, midnight.]
The four gather for the first time atop a scorched warehouse. Lightning cracks behind them. Below, an army of rogue enhancement hunters—the Yami-Kai—march toward the inner districts with a massive Oni-construct.
STARWAVE (arms crossed):
"Great. A festival of freaks."
ONMYO FLARE:
"They're corrupted souls merged with tech. Cursed by something ancient."
KURO ŌKAMI (growling):
"They're organized. They're spreading."
SCARLET ONNA:
"Then we unravel the stitch before the city tears."
⚔️ [Scene 6 – FINAL BATTLE – "THE ONI-BREAKER"]
A monstrous mechanical oni roars, charging at a school district wall. Civilians are trapped inside.
SCARLET ONNA:
"Now."
Kuro Ōkami leaps first, his claws tearing down the Oni's left leg in a midair somersault slash.
Onmyo Flare casts "火" (Fire) and slashes his twin charm-blades across the beast's chest in an X-pattern.
Starwave double-flips and lands a Spiral Sonic Kick, launching an explosive shockwave that knocks the Oni onto its back.
Scarlet Onna dashes in, threads circling her like halos. She throws her needle, sewing it midair into a Crimson Binding Net that lashes down on the Oni, pinning it.
ONMYO FLARE (chanting):
"Seal: Cleanse this twisted soul."
With a final group strike—beast, blade, thread, and wave—they crush the Oni core. The explosion sends sacred ash into the wind.
☁️ [Final Scene – Crater, post-battle. Tokyo skyline.]
They stand shoulder to shoulder. Burned ground around them. Sirens distant. The sky above flickers… something red pulses faintly in the clouds—like a scar.
KURO ŌKAMI:
"They're coming faster now."
STARWAVE:
"Then so do we."
SCARLET ONNA (softly):
"Let them come. We're not just survivors. We're answers."
ONMYO FLARE:
"This city… is under our protection."
