EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE – MORNING LIGHT SHIMMERING
The wind carries the last note of Lyrica's voice. Across from her stands Yurei, holding the glowing Tonal Sword. The crowd hushes.*
A sudden spark between them—
💥 BOOM!
A glowing barrier of sound and light bursts into a dome, trapping them both inside the duel ring.
MAEN:
What the hell?!
SYLDEN:
It's a Harmony Lock! No one can interrupt a song-bound battle!
NYARI (clenching fists):
This is going too far...
INT. INSIDE THE BARRIER – FLOATING PLATFORM
They stand on a shimmering battlefield of shifting musical notes. Every step they take echoes with harmony. Swords drawn. Voices raised.
💥 THE SONG BEGINS 💥
🎤"DUET OF BLADES" 🎤
(Yurei & Lyrica's Singing Sword Battle)
A combination of gentle ethereal vocals (Yurei) and fiery pop-rock (Lyrica).)
YUREI (soft, rising):
🎵
I was born of silence, drowned in flame,
My voice returned with ash and name.
Each step I take—each breath I find—
I sing to heal, not to blind.
🎵
LYRICA (smirking, electric beat):
🎵
You think your scars can write a song?
My stage was fire all along!
If pain makes power, let it show!
'Cause I don't break—I steal the show!
🎵
CLASH! Their swords strike, sending out shockwaves that ripple like sound waves.
YUREI (voice trembling but rising):
🎵
The sword was never yours to take…
You sing for power—I sing to wake.
This melody was born from grief—
Not pride, not fame, not brief relief.
🎵
LYRICA (twirling mid-air, kicking off a note):
🎵
Your lullabies will only fade—
My anthem carves, my rhythm slays!
Let your truth be washed in gold—
While I burn it fierce and bold!
🎵
The barrier pulses with color. Outside, villagers shield their eyes.
VILLAGER:
They're tearing the sky apart!
SHIN-RI (shouting):
Yurei! Stay focused!
FINAL CHORUS — BOTH VOICES MERGE, HARMONIZE, THEN COLLIDE
🎵
YUREI & LYRICA (overlapping):
Let the sky decide, let the blade divide,
We are echoes, pain and pride!
If the world must end in sound,
Let our voices shake the ground!
🎵
FINAL HIGH NOTE — THE CLIMAX
They both leap toward each other. Yurei's sword sings. Lyrica's sword screams.
They both strike—
💥 CLANG!!!
—an explosion of light and sound splits the barrier like glass.
Smoke and silence.
INT. VILLAGE SQUARE — POST-CLASH
Yurei is on the ground, breathing heavily, bleeding from the lip. Her eyes wide. Her hand—empty.
MAEN (rushing forward):
Yurei! Are you okay?!
Everyone looks up—
LYRICA stands at the edge of the smoke.
Her body glows with new power. But her face… shows no joy.
LYRICA (quietly):
Sorry. But this song… it was always a solo.
SHE OPENS A PORTAL — FLAMES BEHIND IT
A swirling rift to a world between music and madness. Her silhouette stands at the edge of it.
SYLDEN (furious):
Don't you dare—!
LYRICA (softly):
You all wanted harmony.
But sometimes… the world needs a scream.
She turns her head.
LYRICA (to Yurei):
Thanks for warming up the crowd.
She steps through. The portal vanishes in silence.
FINAL SHOT
Yurei looks up, tears in her eyes. Her voice—broken again.
