EXT. UTOPIA - CITY STREETS
The scene opens with Genko standing atop a high vantage point, overlooking the sprawling, vibrant city of Utopia. The bustling life below is a testament to the sanctuary Gingorda has built—a place where EVOs can live free from fear. Genko's thoughts swirl as he takes in the scene, his mind replaying Gingorda's words.
GINGORDA (V.O.)
(echoing, filled with purpose)
This is a sanctuary, a place where EVOs can live free from fear. But it's up to you to protect them.
GENKO
(to himself, reflecting deeply)
Born in Jamaica, raised in New York... What's my real origin? Mom never told me. I've kept my powers secret for years, learning how to control them on my own.
As Genko stands lost in thought, Laetayeo suddenly flies in, landing beside him with a beaming smile. He's holding two ice cream cones, clearly thrilled by his discovery.
LAETAYEO
(excitedly, his voice bright)
Hey, Genko! Look what I found! Do you know what this is?
GENKO
(laughing, shaking his head in disbelief)
Are you stupid? It's ice cream.
LAETAYEO
(apologetically, his tone softening)
Well, sorry. I'm from a poor African village. We don't have things like this at all. I hope they're doing fine without me right now. I wonder what my mom is doing.
Genko, surprised by Laetayeo's openness, realizes how different their lives have been before coming to Utopia.
GENKO
(curiously, more engaged now)
Oh, that's why you're always asking questions and stuff. Do y'all ride lions in Africa?
LAETAYEO
(laughing, shaking his head)
No, silly. We run from them. They're scary. I remember one of my old friends almost got eaten by one. Crazy times.
LAETAYEO
(curiously, after a moment of thought)
Where are you from, Genko?
GENKO
(proudly, puffing out his chest a bit)
New York, the Bronx.
LAETAYEO
(enthusiastically, clearly impressed)
Wow! That sounds cool.
GENKO
(smiling, but teasing)
Do you even know where that is?
LAETAYEO
(sheepishly, with a chuckle)
No, but it sounds cool.
GENKO
(explaining, leaning against the railing)
Just imagine this city Gingorda built, but a little bit smaller and less futuristic. That's what it looked like. Basically, the city that never sleeps. There was a lot to do.
LAETAYEO
(interested, leaning closer)
What did you do there? How did you become a hero?
GENKO
(laughing, shaking his head)
Hero? Haha, bro, I was helping out my gang and other gangs for money. Honestly, just a little pocket change. Never really saved people.
LAETAYEO
(seriously, his tone filled with sincerity)
I think you should save them now.
GENKO
(thinking, his mood turning introspective)
I'll think about it. I'm gonna take a nap. Go away.
As Genko lies down, closing his eyes against the sun, Laetayeo takes to the skies, flying over the city and marveling at the world that Gingorda has built. He feels a mix of awe and responsibility, knowing that this is the world they must protect.
CUT TO:
EXT. ARGENTINA - JUNGLE
The scene shifts dramatically to the dense, humid jungles of Argentina. The air is thick with tension as EVOs—men, women, and children—hide among the trees, their faces etched with fear. They are being hunted, the ominous sounds of soldiers crashing through the underbrush growing louder. Suddenly, a little EVO girl trips over a root, her small cry piercing the silence and alerting the soldiers.
SOLDIER
(shouting, his voice commanding)
There they are!
But before the soldiers can reach them, Kakida and Don emerge from the shadows. Don, dual pistols in hand, moves with lightning speed, taking down soldiers with precise, deadly shots. Kakida, wielding his dragon sword, strikes with lethal efficiency, his movements a blur of grace and power.
DON
(yelling, his voice cutting through the chaos)
Keep moving! I've got you covered!
Kakida moves through the soldiers like a shadow, his dragon sword glowing with a fierce red aura. Each slash of his blade is calculated and deadly, the sword's power radiating through the jungle.
KAKIDA
(determined, voice steady)
Stay close! We'll get you to safety!
The EVOs cling to each other, following Kakida and Don as they carve a path through the jungle. The soldiers, realizing they're up against skilled opponents, try to regroup, but Don's relentless assault keeps them on the defensive.
SOLDIER
(terrified, voice breaking)
It's Don! Watch your head!
Don doesn't give them a chance to recover. With a swift kick, he disarms one soldier, while Kakida decapitates another with a single, clean strike of his sword.
KAKIDA
(coldly, voice like ice)
You picked the wrong side.
They reach a small clearing where more soldiers are scouring the area for EVOs. Kakida and Don silently exchange a glance, understanding each other perfectly. They launch a coordinated attack, taking out the soldiers with brutal efficiency, leaving no room for error.
DON
(whispering, his voice calm and focused)
I'll take the left. You take the right.
Kakida nods, disappearing into the shadows. He uses his teleportation device to appear behind soldiers, striking them down with his sword before they even realize he's there.
KAKIDA
(whispering, his voice barely audible)
Time to end this.
Don, meanwhile, is a whirlwind of motion, his pistols and combat techniques combining in a deadly dance. He takes out soldier after soldier, leaving them no chance to retaliate.
DON
(smiling grimly)
Should've stayed home.
As they advance, they find a group of four EVOs locked in a crude cage. Kakida's expression softens as he approaches them. With a swift movement, he uses his sword to cut through the lock, freeing them.
KAKIDA
(gently, his voice kind)
You're safe now. Stay close.
The relief on the EVOs' faces is palpable as they huddle together, their fear giving way to hope. But their respite is short-lived. A little boy stumbles and screams, the sound echoing through the jungle and alerting more soldiers to their position. Without hesitation, Kakida and Don spring into action, their movements fluid and deadly as they cut through the soldiers, determined to protect the EVOs at all costs.
SOLDIER
(panicking, his voice rising)
They're everywhere!
Kakida's sword flashes in the dim light, and another soldier falls. Don, relentless, moves with unrelenting speed, his pistols spitting fire as he takes down the remaining soldiers. Together, they are an unstoppable force, their synergy flawless as they clear the path and teleport the EVOs to the underground city.
CUT TO:
EXT. ARGENTINA - VILLAGE
Hours later, the scene shifts to a small, devastated village in Argentina. The aftermath of the battle is clear—bodies lie scattered, and the ground is scorched. Legion soldiers arrive, their faces grim as they take in the carnage. They move cautiously through the wreckage, examining the bodies and the brutal efficiency of the attack.
SOLDIER 1
(confused, his voice filled with unease)
Who could've done this?
SOLDIER 2
(examining a body, his tone puzzled)
These cuts... they're not from our usual opposition. This was done by a sword.
SOLDIER 1
(nodding, reaching for his radio)
We need someone to check this out.
They radio for backup, and within hours, a man named Shinkobi Ichitada arrives. He steps out of a sleek, black helicopter, his presence commanding immediate respect. His eyes narrow as he surveys the scene, his expression cold and calculating.
SHINKOBI
(coldly, his voice like steel)
Looks like we've found more evidence of him.
SOLDIER 2
(curious, looking up)
Who?
SHINKOBI
(grimly, his voice filled with intent)
Kakida Lin.
FADE OUT.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
In the shadows of the jungle, the battle for freedom continues. As Kakida and Don fight to save the oppressed, the stakes grow higher. The chosen ones must rise to the challenge, for the fate of many rests in their hands.
