(Cut to a dark, mysterious chamber — a shadowy figure holds a cracked crystal glowing with green light, the same light as Marine's powers.)
???: "So… the final Aether Core has awakened."
(He clenches the crystal — it crumbles to dust.)
???: "Let the Rift War… begin"
(The camera zooms into a massive underground city, filled with floating crystals and war machines. A tall, cloaked figure walks through the shadows — Hokori, the main villain, with glowing crimson eyes.)
Hokori (coldly): "The final Aether Core… has awakened. She doesn't even know who she is… but the energy spike confirms it. The Rift will open soon."
(A hooded soldier kneels before him.)
Soldier: "Shall we deploy the Soulhunters, my Lord?"
Hokori: "Not yet. Let her taste the sweetness of peace… before I crush her hope. Begin the Soul Harvesting in Airoma's outskirts. Let them know… war has returned."
(Marine sits on the floor, still stunned. Isaka stands beside her protectively, glowing with a faint green aura. Megum is pacing nervously.)
Megum: "An Aether Core… living with me this whole time… What if someone already knows?"
Luci (loading more ammo): "Then let them come. I'll protect her. We all will."
Marine (quietly): "I didn't ask for this. I just wanted to live a normal life…"
Isaka (kneeling to her level): "You still can. But first… you must learn who you are."
(Marine falls asleep that night, and her dream begins to shift into a memory she's never seen before. A woman with silver hair holds a baby in her arms beside a glowing tree. Her voice echoes.)
Mother (soft voice): "My little star… one day, your light will awaken the world. But beware… the Rift feeds on light. And it will come for you."
Megum (smirking): "Alright, little sis. Time to train. If you're gonna be the most powerful being in existence, might as well start with some basics."
Marine: "Ughhh… Can't we start with something less exhausting?"
Luci (laughs): "Nope. First rule of combat training — no complaining."
Gara (watching): "Let's just hope she doesn't blow up the garden."
(Isaka watches silently, scanning Marine's energy levels.)
Isaka: "Marine, focus on what you feel when you're most emotional — happiness, sadness, even fear. That's where your power comes from."
(Marine closes her eyes. She remembers her parents, the dream, and the feeling of helplessness… Suddenly, green light begins to spiral around her.)
Megum: "Whoa… she's actually doing it."
(The energy forms into a shape — a glowing butterfly. It flutters above her palm.)
Marine (eyes wide): "I… I did that?"
Isaka (smiling): "You did. That's your Aether energy. But it's only the beginning."
