EPISODE 6: "Full Moon Surge"
🌕 [Scene 1 – Mt. Ōyama Shrine Forest, 11:58 PM]
Crickets chirp. Wind rustles the leaves. The full moon is eerily crimson, casting blood-red light over moss-covered stone. A white wolf's statue glows faintly.
Kuro Ōkami kneels beneath it, sweat trickling down his face, claws dug into the earth.
KURO ŌKAMI (growling):
"Not now… not again…"
His breath becomes ragged. His pupils slit. The stone cracks beneath him.
🎬 [Scene 2 – Break Academy: Briefing Room]
ONMYO FLARE studies ancient celestial patterns.
SCARLET ONNA:
"You said the moon pulls his power?"
ONMYO FLARE:
"This isn't just any full moon. Tonight is a Lunar Eclipse tied to a hunter's star. According to old scrolls, it triggers a 'Beast Reversal'."
STARWAVE:
"You mean he's gonna go full monster?"
ONMYO FLARE:
"No. He'll lose his mind—and forget friend from enemy."
🚨 [Scene 3 – Tokyo Outskirts: VANQUISH Ambush]
VANQUISH units launch a sneak strike on Kuro's shrine site, hoping to capture him mid-surge.
Lasers pierce the trees. Metal boots trample sacred ground. The shrine foxes howl. Then—
SOLDIER 1:
"Target in sight—wait… what is that?!"
A monstrous roar echoes.
Kuro bursts from the shadows in his Beast Howl Mode: silver hair extended, moonlight glowing from every claw, black fur tracing up his arms, glowing kanji seared into his chest: "月" (Moon).
🐺 [Scene 4 – Kuro Ōkami Unleashed]
He tears through three squads, moving like a silver blur.
His Wolf Claw Rush leaves shockwave slashes in the dirt.
Eyes glow pure white. He's silent. Ruthless.
ONMYO FLARE (from a distance):
"He's not in control."
🏯 [Scene 5 – Shrine Collapse: The Others Arrive]
Scarlet Onna dives in, summoning spirit-stitch armor around her arms to tank one of Kuro's claw slashes.
Starwave launches sonic barriers to push back debris as the shrine caves in.
Onmyo Flare casts a Lunar Seal, temporarily halting the moonlight—but Kuro keeps coming.
KURO ŌKAMI (snarling):
"STAY… AWAY!"
💔 [Scene 6 – Kuro's Mindscape]
A dreamlike sequence unfolds inside his head:
He stands alone in a forest of ash.
A younger Kuro chases a spirit wolf, only to be abandoned again and again.
Echoes of his father's words ring:
"The beast in you isn't your strength. It's your cage."
The spirit wolf turns back. It's bleeding. It bows to him.
SPIRIT WOLF:
"You are not cursed. You are chosen."
🎤 [Scene 7 – Starwave Breaks Through]
Riko steps into Kuro's path, throwing down her mic baton.
STARWAVE (crying out):
"You saved my life, Hiro! You carried me out of that fire last winter! I KNOW YOU'RE STILL IN THERE!"
She takes a full slash to her arm, blood spraying across her jacket—but she doesn't back down.
STARWAVE:
"If you're the moon… then I'm staying until you shine again."
Kuro lunges—then suddenly freezes. His claws stop a centimeter from her face. His eyes flicker.
🌙 [Scene 8 – Kuro Reawakens]
KURO ŌKAMI (panting):
"Riko…?"
The full eclipse passes. The light softens. Kuro collapses to one knee, fur fading, tears running down his face.
KURO ŌKAMI:
"I almost… killed you."
STARWAVE (kneeling with him):
"You didn't. The wolf came back."
🏮 [Scene 9 – Shrine Rebirth]
The team lights new charms around the ruins of the shrine.
Kuro now wears a moonstone ring etched with protective kanji — forged by Onmyo Flare and Scarlet Onna.
SCARLET ONNA:
"With this, you'll anchor yourself next time."
ONMYO FLARE:
"You're not fighting the beast alone anymore."
🕳️ [Final Scene – VANQUISH Black Site]
A scarred commander speaks to the armored figure seen before. On the wall, a map shows "Break Academy" circled in red.
COMMANDER:
"We underestimated them. But the surge is coming. And when the Beast falls…"
???:
"…the fire one dies next."
They open a stasis cell. Inside: a humanoid with volcanic skin and molten cuffs—his body pulses like magma.
