🌒 [Scene 1 – Rooftops, Tokyo District 14: 3:03 AM]
The camera pans across empty rooftops. It's dead quiet.
A single rooftop antenna is sliced in two. Then a streak of black rips through the dark, crashing into concrete. A wolfish snarl. A blur of moonlight. A scream.
A man in silver armor lands hard. His chest is clawed open.
VOICE (off-screen):
"Target 7 down. The Lunar Beast isn't unkillable after all."
*A masked hunter steps into view, covered in stitched beast-hide armor. His blade? Made of hollowed lunar bones.
🎬 [Scene 2 – Break Academy, Training Grounds]
Kuro Ōkami spars alone. His claws scratch shallow trails in the training floor. He's frustrated, aggressive.
KURO (panting):
"Why… can't I control it lately?"
STARWAVE (watching nearby):
"You've been jumpy since the eclipse."
ONMYO FLARE (checking scrolls):
"I sense beast-signals around Tokyo. Someone is challenging you. Marking territory."
A wolf statue cracks outside. A scent in the air. Kuro freezes.
KURO:
"He's here."
🐾 [Scene 3 – Rooftop Showdown Begins]
Kuro jumps onto a building to find a man waiting: tall, sleek, wearing half-wolf furs, eyes glowing red. His name appears in kanji across the screen.
🩸 Name:YAKETSUKI (Burned Fang)
Codename: Hollow Claw
Affiliation: VANQUISH Elite
Power:Predator Memory Sync — Gains all hunting techniques of those he slays.
Weapons: Two Hollow Bone Blades, carved from ancient lunar beasts.
Mission: Kill Kuro Ōkami and harvest the "Final Beast Core."
YAKETSUKI:
"You don't know me, but I know every move you'll make.
Because I've killed creatures like you before."
Kuro growls low. His claws spark with moonlight.
KURO ŌKAMI:
"I'm not like them. I'm still human."
YAKETSUKI:
"Not for long."
⚔️ [Scene 4 – Lunar Duel Begins]
They clash midair. Kuro goes low, but Yaketsuki counters with spiraling fang slashes, targeting pressure points in Kuro's legs.
Blood splashes the rooftop.
Kuro is faster—but Yaketsuki knows every wolf-style feint, predicting his wild lunges.
YAKETSUKI:
"Your form is raw. Emotional. Just like the last beast."
🌑 [Scene 5 – Flashback: Yaketsuki's Origin]
A snowy mountain range. Yaketsuki as a boy hides under a shrine while a giant white wolf fights VANQUISH soldiers. The wolf saves him—but is burned alive in front of his eyes.
A twisted commander whispers to him:
"Don't cry. Become stronger than the beast. Make its death worth something."
🐺 [Scene 6 – Kuro Goes Ferocious]
Kuro's heart pounds. He activates Full Moon Surge, his eyes glowing silver. Fur spreads down his arms.
He attacks with Wolf Claw Rush: Red Bloom, slashing a crater into the roof.
Yaketsuki loses his footing — Kuro pins him down.
KURO:
"You think killing wolves makes you strong?"
YAKETSUKI:
"I think killing you ends the bloodline!"
He slashes Kuro's chest open with the Hollow Claws, laced with anti-beast venom.
🩸 [Scene 7 – Collapse and Rescue]
Kuro stumbles. His heartbeat slows. Yaketsuki raises a final strike—
—only for threads to catch his arm. Scarlet Onna lands behind him.
SCARLET ONNA:
"You bleed beasts… but you're the real monster."
Onmyo Flare drops talisman mines. Starwave rushes in with a shock sonic vault kick, breaking Yaketsuki's shoulder.
🌕 [Scene 8 – The Final Howl]
Kuro rises again, even bleeding.
KURO (whispers):
"For the ones you hunted… I'll show you the last sound they heard."
He roars—a lunar howl that shakes windows across Tokyo. It freezes Yaketsuki in fear.
Kuro lunges and slashes with glowing claws — tearing through his enemy's armor. The Hollow Blades shatter.
YAKETSUKI (falling):
"I… heard this… before…"
He hits the ground unconscious.
🌙 [Scene 9 – Aftermath]
Yaketsuki is handed over to special SHIELD custody (via distant tech node).
Kuro, still injured, looks up at the moon.
KURO:
"He wasn't all wrong. I am the last."
STARWAVE (beside him):
"No… you're the first to choose who the beast becomes."
🕳️ [Final Scene – Mephisto's Circle Begins]
A black ring of flame ignites in the middle of Shibuya Crossing. A sigil appears in the air: a laughing face with horns.
VOICE (smooth, echoing):
"I smell wild hearts… and broken vows. Time to meet daddy."
Flames swirl. MEPHISTO steps through. Tokyo's sky flickers red.
