Episode 5
Scene 1
Night Sky Show | Cruise Ship – Deck
The night sky was ablaze with colors… vibrant skyshots exploded above, reflecting over the ocean waves. Guests on the cruise ship were enjoying themselves, unaware of the silent figures watching from the shadows—Max and Shura Naki—their eyes scanning for one thing: Crimson Reigns.
Shura Naki (irritated):
"Where the hell are they… I can't find them anywhere."
Max (calm, observing):
"Looks like Zara has arrived… that's why everyone's gathered in one place."
Shura Naki (suspicious):
"Maybe you're right… but where do we search?"
Max (thinking):
"There's just one area left. The back of the ship. The rest is already checked."
Shura Naki:
"Alright… let's go."
(The two quickly turn and head toward the back of the ship to continue their search.)
Scene 2 – Crimson Reigns' Room
Zeno sat in a corner, sweating, tense. His mind was racing with a single thought:
Zeno (thinking, anxious):
"I'm trapped here… I need to do something…!"
Suddenly, a memory flashes:
Zeno (realization):
"Damien told me… focus… concentrate… and manifest my Yugan…"
(Zeno closes his eyes. Slowly, a faint aura begins to glow around him. Every member of Crimson Reigns in the room stares at him.)
Selene (cold, dismissive):
"No use, kid. None of this will work."
Darius (laughing):
"Let him be, Selene… we could use some entertainment."
(Suddenly, the door opens. Everyone's attention snaps toward it.)
Sylas (alert):
"It can't open by itself."
Unknown Voice (male, calm):
"Exactly… it didn't open by itself."
Selene (taunting):
"Who are you? Step forward!"
Another Voice (male, confident):
"Hey now… no need to rush."
(Grake's expression changes—he recognizes the voices. Zeno looks puzzled.)
Selene (angry):
"Come forward… or else!"
(Two figures enter—Max and Shura Naki.)
Morric (smirking, impressed):
"Oh… a Hunter and a Spy… working for Kaen Voss."
Zeno (thinking, shocked):
"Kaen Voss…?!"
Shura Naki (angry, pointing sword):
"Release the boy… now!"
Sylas (smiling, aura flaring):
"First… try surviving us."
(Sylas and Morric activate their Yugan—red auras glow from their hands. Max and Shura Naki also activate their Yugan—a soft white light glows around them. Max draws his dual guns, Shura Naki readies his sword.)
(Suddenly, the lights go out—pitch black. A flash, and lights return… but Max, Shura Naki, and Zeno are gone.)
Darius (shouting):
"Grake, where is he?!"
Sylas (checking):
"The door is locked from the outside…"
Morric (angry):
"Then break it!"
(Sylas blasts the door. There's an explosion, but the door remains intact.)
Selene (serious):
"They sealed it with their Yugan…"
Darius (furious):
"But where's Grake…?!"
Sylas (pointing):
"Wait… look. The window is broken… maybe he went through there."
(All eyes turn to the broken window.)
Scene 3 – Escape Chase
(Max and Shura Naki run quickly through narrow passages, with Zeno in tow. Grake chases them relentlessly.)
Shura Naki (frustrated):
"Max! Why is he chasing us?!"
Max (serious):
"He's also a Crimson Reigns member… but how did he get outside?!"
Shura Naki (stopping, determined):
"Seriously… why are we running?"
Max:
"Because we have this boy with us… and we won't put his life in danger."
Shura Naki (resolute):
"Go, Max. I'll handle him."
Max (shocked):
"What…? You're going to fight him?"
Shura Naki (drawing sword):
"Yes."
(Grake stops and smirks.)
Grake:
"So… you want to fight."
(Shura Naki tightens his grip on his sword. Max hesitates. Suddenly—BAM!—a swift kick hits Grake square in the face. He falls hard.)
(Max and Shura Naki stare in shock… the attacker is Miyu.)
Zeno (excited):
"Wow… what an entrance!"
Max (worried):
"Miyu?! You shouldn't be here…"
Miyu (serious, calm):
"You saved my brother's life… today, I'll help you. Max, you go."
Shura Naki (nodding):
"Go, Max. You know what to do now."
(Max reluctantly takes Zeno and escapes. The camera focuses on Shura Naki and Miyu, standing ready in front of Grake, prepared for the fight.)
