Skinwalkers screech violently. A woman cries for help. Hanabi hesitates, opens the window. A Skinwalker lunges. Hyde slashes it apart with cursed matter, brutally tearing it down.

More Skinwalkers smash through the door. Maltherion fires his rifle, chaos rounds ripping through them. He slams the door shut, blood dripping from the cracks.

Miles hides, trembling. Ravens fly overhead.

> Miles (thinking) – Those birds… they're not normal.

Luke lies in the road, beaten by the Granite Monster. His cells mutate, monsterization spreading. He screams in agony.

Pain arrives, feeding on the suffering of countless humans.

The doors bend inward.

🕳️ Scene 7: Decaulion's Shadowstorm

Decaulion, now Shadow Monster, storms through tunnels. His claws rip through walls, shadows consuming everything.

The ground shakes as his roar echoes across Redfern Ridge.

🐺 Scene 9: Wolfe vs Dillan

🌪️ Scene 11: Zephyr's Descent Nathan and Lucifer are locked in a brutal stalemate against Koa, the Jungle Warrior. Koa swings a massive club made of ancient mahogany, shattering the pavement. Nathan bleeds from his forehead; Lucifer's dark wings are tattered.

Koa raises his weapon for a finishing blow.

Koa – The jungle reclaims everything!

Suddenly, the clouds swirl into a violent funnel. A streak of silver light cuts through the grey sky. Zephyr falls from the atmosphere like a meteor, surrounded by a localized hurricane. He sticks the landing, sending a shockwave of wind that blows Koa back fifty feet.

Zephyr stands up, his hair glowing white, wind whipping around his limbs.

Zephyr – Sorry I'm late. The traffic in the stratosphere was a nightmare.

Zephyr thrusts his hands forward. A blade of compressed air slices through Koa's wooden armor. Nathan and Lucifer scramble to their feet as the wind begins to lift the very cars off the street.

👻 Scene 12: Casper's Hollow Walk Inside the school library, the walls are bleeding shadows. Three Skinwalkers have phased through the ceiling, cornering a group of freshmen.

The air turns ice cold. A hand reaches out from the solid brick wall. Casper, the half-ghost boy, floats through, his body flickering like a dying lightbulb.

Skinwalker – Hungry... flesh...

Casper – You're already dead. You just haven't realized it yet.

Casper reaches into the chest of the lead Skinwalker. His hand turns translucent blue. He grabs the creature's spectral heart and squeezes. The Skinwalker dissolves into gray ash instantly. The other two shriek, but Casper vanishes into the floor, reappearing behind them with a wicked grin.

🦄 Scene 13: The Obsidian Horn Alaric, the Unicorn Boy, stands at the edge of the Glass Canopy. Below, a horde of shadow-husks is climbing the walls. His radiant aura is flickering.

He touches the black shard on his forehead. It pulses with dark, violet energy.

Alaric – I didn't want to use this today.

He screams as light and dark magic collide. A beam of "Blight-Light" erupts from his forehead, disintegrating the climbing monsters in a flash of purple fire. He falls to his knees, his eyes turning solid black for a moment. The curse is taking hold.

🔥 Scene 14: Ignis's burn.

Ignis finds himself surrounded by the Acid Kaiju's spawn—smaller, slug-like creatures that melt the asphalt.

Ignis laughs, his skin turning into glowing charcoal.

Ignis – You guys like liquid? Let's see how you handle gas!

He snaps his fingers. His entire body explodes into a pillar of white-hot flame. The acid creatures evaporate before they can even scream. Ignis stands in the center of a molten crater, his memories of his childhood fading away as the price for his power. He looks at his hands, confused for a second.

Ignis – Wait... what was my mother's name?

🛡️ Scene 15: The Last Stand at the Gate Mimi's tongue finally shatters the lock on the school gate. She roars, a sound of pure hunger.

Sherlock stands at the front, blade raised. Beside him, Silas, Alaric, and Elara form a line.

Sherlock – This is the end of the line, Mimi.

Dalia Qasim appears on the balcony above, holding a staff. She begins to chant in a language that sounds like grinding stone. The earth beneath the gate begins to rise, forming a secondary wall of jagged rock.

Dalia – Palestine didn't fall, and neither will Redfern Ridge!

The teens roar in defiance as the monsters surge forward into the new barricade.

🦋 Scene 16: Arthur's Omen

High above the chaos of the school, a silhouette block out the moon. Arthur (Mothman) descends, his wings vibrating at a frequency that makes the INFAMOUS's ears bleed.

He lands on the roof of the library, his crimson goggles glowing. He sees the "Death Lines" tracing the ground.

Arthur – The pulse is coming. If you don't move now, you're all erasures.

He spreads his wings, and a wave of Gravity hits the courtyard. The Skinwalkers are crushed into the pavement by 10x Earth's gravity, their bones snapping like dry twigs.

🎷 Scene 17: The Mafia vs. The Havok

In the neon-lit ruins of the Redfern shopping district, Jazz Sonik and Spike Lee stand over a map. Their gang members surround them, guns loaded with Primenesis-dampening bullets.

Spike Lee – Nezha Havok dies tonight. No one interrupts the Mafia's business in the Under. Jazz Sonik – I'll make his funeral a silent one.

Spike lee-good i will make him pay........

Suddenly, the air vibrates. Nezha Havok walks through a brick wall, his body wreathed in Chaos Energy. He doesn't speak. He just snaps his fingers.

BOOM! A wave of purple Chaos rips through the gang. Five men vanish instantly, turned into static. Spike Lee roars, slamming his hands down. Massive Spikes erupt from the ground, trying to impale Nezha. Jazz Sonik channels Sound Energy into his throat, letting out a sonic scream that shatters every window in the block.

Nezha-little fools what happend the flu got you.Nezha kicks jazz in the face.

Nezha just laughs, his eyes swirling with chaos energy.

🐉 Scene 18: The Dragon's Revenge

Deep in the Under-tunnels, Nkumkani stands over the fallen Ryuk the Fire Dragon. The beast is massive, scales glowing like molten lava. Nkumkani plunges a blade into Ryuk's heart.

He turns to Terrance, pulling him into a hug.

Nkumkani – It's done. We need to find Draven and Thantos. They are lost in these tunnels, and the shadow-bleed is starting.

But the ground shakes. Ryuk's eyes snap open—bright, dying orange. The dragon lets out a final, agonizing roar. A jet of Fire shoots out, catching Terrance's arm.

Terrance – AHHHHHHHH!

Terrance falls, his arm charring instantly. The smell of burnt flesh fills the tunnel as Ryuk's body begins to go into a Cacoon State for Evolvement.

🦋 Scene 19: Arthur's Omen

The sky above the school didn't just go dark; it felt like the oxygen was being sucked out of the atmosphere. Arthur (Mothman) hung suspended in the air, his massive soot-colored wings beating with a heavy, rhythmic thrum that rattled the windows of the science wing. His crimson goggles pierced through the thick smog, locking onto the distorted shapes of the Skinwalkers below.

He tilted his head, watching the "Death Lines" shimmer across the pavement like cracked glass.

Arthur: "The vibration is changing. If you stay on the ground, you're dead weight."

He folded his wings and dropped like a stone. A split second before impact, he snapped them open. Gravity slammed into the courtyard. The ground didn't just shake—it groaned. The Skinwalkers, mid-lunge, were flattened instantly. Their limbs snapped under the sudden 10x pressure, chests collapsing against the asphalt. Arthur landed in the center of the carnage, the concrete beneath his boots spider-webbing. He looked toward the school doors, his voice a low, mechanical hum.

Arthur: "Sherlock. Get them to the higher floors. The pressure is only going up."

🎷 Scene 20: The Mafia's Gambit

Jazz Sonik adjusted his shades, the neon signs of the shopping district reflecting off the polished black leather of his coat. Beside him, Spike Lee stood like a statue, his breathing heavy and measured. Their gang members formed a tight perimeter, fingers twitching on triggers.

Spike Lee: "He thinks he can walk into our territory and breathe our air? Nezha Havok is a dead man walking." Jazz Sonik: "Save the speech, Spike. He's already here."

The brick wall begins to ripple like water. Nezha Havok stepped through the solid masonry, his skin glowing with a sickly crimson red hue. Crimson red sparks of Chaos Energy danced between his fingers. He didn't look at the guns pointed at his chest; he looked at the sky.

Nezha: "You're still playing with paper money while the world burns. It's pathetic."

With a flick of his wrist, a bolt of jagged purple energy tore through the front line. Three men didn't even have time to scream; they simply dissolved into static and ash. Spike Lee roared, slamming his palms into the street.

Spike Lee: "Erupt!" Massive, jagged Spikes tore through the asphalt, surging toward Nezha like shark fins. Simultaneously, Jazz Sonik took a deep breath, his chest expanding unnaturally. He let out a Sonic Scream so powerful it turned the falling rain into a fine mist and shattered every storefront for three blocks. Nezha stood his ground, the spikes shattering against an invisible chaotic barrier as he laughed into the storm of sound.

🐉 Scene 21: The Dragon's Heart

The air in the Under-tunnels was thick with the smell of sulfur and ancient dust. Nkumkani stood over the massive, heaving chest of Ryuk the Fire Dragon. The beast's breathing was a low, wet growl. Nkumkani gripped a jagged, bone-white blade with both hands, his knuckles white.

Nkumkani: "For the ones we lost."

He drove the blade deep into the dragon's heart. A fountain of steaming, orange blood sprayed across his face. The dragon went still. Nkumkani exhaled, dropping the weapon and turning to Terrance, who was shaking nearby. He pulled his friend into a hard, desperate hug.

Nkumkani: "It's over, T. We're okay. Now we just find Draven and Thantos and get out of this hole."

But the tunnel suddenly glowed with a blinding, incandescent light. Ryuk's eyes didn't just open; they ignited. The dragon's body began to vibrate, the wound in its chest sewing itself shut with threads of molten gold.

Nkumkani: "No... it's evolving!"

Ryuk let out a roar that shook the foundations of the Earth, and a jet of pressurized, white-hot fire erupted from its maw. Terrance tried to dive, but the flames licked his right arm.

Terrance: "AAAAAAAGGHHH! MY ARM! NKUMKANI, HELP ME!" Terrance hit the floor, his sleeve vaporizing as the skin beneath turned a charred, deathly black. Nkumkani scrambled backward, watching in horror as the dragon began to wrap itself in a thick, pulsating Cacoon of hardened magma.

🎒 Scene 22: The School Fortress.

Inside the lobby, the smell of fear was stronger than the smell of old floor wax. Dalia Qasim stood on the mezzanine, her fingers white as she gripped her carved staff. Below her, Sherlock had his blade drawn, his eyes scanning the buckling steel of the main gates.

Mimi's tongue whipped through a crack in the door, a long, muscular cord of black muscle that tasted the air. It lashed out, nearly wrapping around Silas Snare's throat.

Silas: "It's getting through! The locks are melting!" Dalia: "Focus, Silas! Use your head!"

Dalia began to chant, her voice echoing with the weight of someone who had seen cities fall. She slammed the base of her staff into the marble floor. Jagged shards of rock rose from the foundation, wedging themselves into the gate to create a secondary, stone-hard barricade.

Sherlock: "How long can you hold that?" Dalia: "Until my heart stops beating. Don't let that thing touch the students!"

🧬 Scene 23: Luke's Mutation

On the rain-slicked road, Pain loomed over Luke Smarty. Pain's body seemed to absorb the ambient light, making the world around him look like a faded photograph. He watched Luke's fingers dig into the asphalt, the boy's body arching in agony.

Pain: "Do you feel it, Luke? The hunger? The urge to rip the world apart?"

Luke's jaw unhinged, his teeth elongating into serrated needles. His eyes shifted from human brown to a glowing, predatory yellow.

Luke: "Get... away... from me!"

A wave of black Primenesis energy exploded outward from Luke's chest, cracking the road and sending Pain sliding backward. Luke's skin began to thicken into grey, leathery plates. He wasn't just a boy anymore; he was a weapon. He let out a sound that was half-human scream, half-beast roar. He was hitting Step 7, and there was no going back.

🕳️ Scene 24: The Shadow's Gateway

Deep in the restricted basement levels of the school, Decaulion moved like a ghost. He wasn't walking; he was gliding through the shadows of the pipes and boilers. His skin was the color of a bruise, and his eyes were hollow pits of violet light.

Shadow Decaulion: "They think they are safe behind stone walls. They don't know the dark is already inside."

His claws elongated, turning into wisps of black smoke that carved deep, rotting grooves into the concrete walls. Every time his shadow touched a rat or a stray insect, the creature didn't just die—it vanished into a small, swirling vortex. He stopped in front of the heavy vault door leading to the school's core. He reached out a hand, and the steel began to weep black ink.

The ground beneath Redfern Ridge trembled. Decaulion let out a low, distorted laugh that echoed through the vents, reaching every classroom in the building.
