The dust from the brothers' brawl settled. Mufasa stood in the center of the ruins, his presence acting like a gravitational anchor. He looked at the shattered courtyard and sighed, his voice surprisingly gentle compared to the roar of a few moments ago.
"I apologize for the mess," Mufasa said to the trembling school staff. "Do not worry. I will fund the repairs personally. My sons... have a bit too much energy."
The brothers stood in a line, heads bowed. But Lam couldn't stay silent. His "Tech-Mind" was racing, analyzing the way his father had effortlessly crushed their auras. It wasn't just strength; it was a different frequency entirely.
"Father," Lam said, his eyes sharp. "What really happened in the past? Ten years ago... during the V.D. Incident?"
Mufasa stiffened. The air around him grew cold. "Why are you asking this now, Lam?"
"Because the glitches are getting worse," Lam replied, holding up his gauntlet which was flickering with red static. "And because I want to know... how did you truly become the King?"
Mufasa looked at his five sons—his five Lions. He realized he couldn't hide the truth forever. He closed his eyes, and the world began to fade into a memory.
FLASHBACK: 10 YEARS AGO
The sky was a bleeding wound. The Velociraptor wasn't just attacking a city; it was devouring the concept of time and space.
We see Mufasa, younger and draped in a golden cape that flowed like liquid sun. He stood alone on a desolate peak, facing the beast that was larger than a mountain.
[SYSTEM GLITCH: LEVEL 10 INTENSITY]
The screen tears. The scene from Episode 1 plays again, but this time, the "static" clears. We see Mufasa's true power. He didn't just fight the Raptor; he rewrote the code of the universe. He opened a void in his palms, drawing the creature's mass into a single point of light.
But a beast that powerful cannot be destroyed—only contained.
Mufasa looked at a cradle resting on the altar behind him. A tiny baby was sleeping, unaware of the cosmic war. With tears in his eyes, Mufasa slammed his hands together, forcing the entire essence of the Velociraptor into the child's heart.
The red static turned golden. The beast was gone. The world was saved.
PRESENT DAY
Mufasa opened his eyes, the memory fading. "I did what I had to do to save our clan. I sealed the Disaster to give the world ten years of peace. I am sorry, but that is all I can tell you."
The brothers were dead silent. Asadullah gripped his fists, and Draz looked away.
"So," Lam whispered, his voice trembling for the first time. "Who is that child, Father? Who is the vessel of the Velociraptor?"
Mufasa turned his back to them, his cape billowing in the wind. "You will know that in the future, Lam. But for now... pray that the seal holds."
CLIFFHANGER:
The scene shifts away from the school, deep into the shadows of the Forbidden Forest. The Five-Armed Person is sitting on a rock, his two plungers crossed like swords on his lap. He is staring at a holographic projection of the school.
He lets out a dark, raspy chuckle.
"So... your father is the Sealer of that Velociraptor," the man whispers to the shadows. "Mufasa thinks he hid the key. But he forgot... I am the one who built the lock."
The screen glitches one last time, showing a silhouette of a 6th Child hidden in the darkness.
