INT. HUGE SPACESHIP - TRAINING AND TESTING FACILITY
The scene opens with Shinkobi teleporting into a massive spaceship, where the Legion's soldiers are rigorously training, testing weapons, and holding EVO prisoners. The facility is a hive of activity, filled with the clamor of machinery, the shouts of drill sergeants, and the distant, unsettling cries from the prisoners undergoing experiments.
SHINKOBI
(in Japanese with subtitles)
私のマスターに会いに行かなければならない.(I must meet with my master.)
Shinkobi moves purposefully through the labyrinthine corridors, his presence commanding respect. Fellow soldiers and doctors nod at him as they pass by, each engrossed in their own tasks. He eventually reaches a large, heavily guarded door. The elite soldiers stationed there bow slightly as he enters, indicating his high status.
INT. MASTER'S CHAMBER
Inside, Uchizoro Kohachi, the leader of the Maroon Shinobi, sits on a raised platform surrounded by ancient scrolls, weapons, and other relics of his clan's history. The room is dimly lit, with a palpable air of power and tradition. Shinkobi bows deeply as he steps forward, presenting the evidence he has collected.
SHINKOBI
(bowing deeply, in Japanese with subtitles)
マスター,私はカキダの証拠を見つけました.(My master, I have found evidence of Kakida.)
Uchizoro takes the photos and reports from Argentina, examining them with a critical eye. His face remains stern, betraying little emotion.
UCHIZORO
(in Japanese with subtitles)
これは重要だ.大預言者に会わなければならない.(This is significant. We must see the great prophet.)
INT. SPACESHIP CORRIDORS
Shinkobi and Uchizoro walk briskly through the spaceship's corridors, heading towards Ashimoto's chamber. As they approach, they pass Dakarai Abioye, who is also making his way towards Ashimoto's throne room.
DAKARAI ABIOYE
(curious, in Japanese with subtitles)
大預言者に会うのはなぜですか?何か悪いことですか?(Why do you need to see the great prophet? Something bad?)
SHINKOBI
(shaking his head)
いいえ,カキダに関することではありませんが,重要なことです.(No, it's not about the boy born from a virgin, but it might lead to that.)
The three continue towards the dark, foreboding door that leads to Ashimoto's throne room. A sinister purple aura seeps around the entrance, giving the atmosphere an eerie, otherworldly feel.
INT. ASHIMOTO'S THRONE ROOM
Ashimoto, a towering figure of malice, sits on a grotesque throne made of skulls, trophies, and weapons, his back turned to the entrance. He stares intently at a large hologram of Earth, his presence radiating dark energy. The room is filled with a malevolent aura, oppressive and suffocating.
SHINKOBI & UCHIZORO
(in unison, bowing deeply)
偉大なる天の預言者よ,あなたに話を伺いたく参りました.(Oh great heavenly prophet, I come to you with a request to speak to you.)
ASHIMOTO
(deep, raspy voice)
受け入れる.(I accept.)
Shinkobi and Uchizoro present the evidence of Kakida's actions in Argentina. Ashimoto examines the reports with a calculating gaze, his eyes narrowing as he processes the information.
ASHIMOTO
(darkly)
カキダがギンゴルダの側についているなら,それは我々の計画に大きな影響を与える.(If Kakida is now on Gingorda's side, it will have a significant impact on our plans.)
Ashimoto's voice becomes even more sinister as he continues, his words dripping with malice.
ASHIMOTO
(venomously)
兵士を増やし,さらに多くのEVOを見つけて殺せ.全ての作戦を通知しろ.ギンゴルダが私のビジョンを阻止しようとするなら,彼にその結果を見せてやる.(Increase the soldiers, find more EVOs, and kill them. Let Gingorda know that if he tries to stop my vision, it will be detrimental to the EVOs.)
Ashimoto's laugh fills the chamber, a sound so chilling it could drive a weaker mind to madness. Uchizoro and Shinkobi shudder involuntarily, but they maintain their composure, bowing once more.
UCHIZORO
(bowing again)
承知しました,大預言者.(Understood, great prophet.)
As they exit the throne room, Dakarai Abioye catches up with Uchizoro, his expression impatient.
DAKARAI ABIOYE
(impatient)
あの少年についての情報はないのですか?(Any information on the boy I'm looking for?)
UCHIZORO
(shaking his head)
いいえ.(No.)
DAKARAI ABIOYE
(determined)
知らせてください.私の村のために復讐したい.(Let me know. I want payback for my village.)
INT. NEXUS - LABORATORY
The scene shifts to the bustling lab of the Nexus where Braden is working alongside Dr. Lyra, an EVO scientist, on upgrading his speed suit. The lab is filled with advanced technology, prototypes, and various gadgets humming with energy.
DR. LYRA
(adjusting the suit, focused)
This new suit should help you control your speed better, Braden. We've incorporated some new materials to reduce friction and enhance durability.
BRADEN
(excited, watching the modifications)
Thanks, Dr. Lyra. How fast do you think I can go now?
DR. LYRA
(smiling, with a hint of pride)
Let's find out.
Braden steps onto a specially designed treadmill that measures speed. As he starts running, the numbers on the screen climb rapidly.
BRADEN
(running, exhilarated)
550 mph! This is incredible!
DR. LYRA
(analyzing the data, satisfied)
With this suit, you might even be able to achieve time travel or phase through objects. But let's focus on controlling your current speed first.
CUT TO:
EXT. UTOPIA - NATURE FIELD
In a serene field outside the city, Jamie and Melanie train together. Jamie is lifting heavy weights, while Melanie sits cross-legged, meditating with intense focus.
JAMIE
(grunting, lifting)
700 pounds. Not bad, huh?
LAETAYEO
(walking over, impressed)
That's impressive, Jamie.
MELANIE
(focused, calmly)
Meditation helps me control my powers. It's the only way I can manage them right now.
LAETAYEO
(sitting beside her, offering support)
I can show you a few techniques I learned in my village. It might help.
Laetayeo guides Melanie through a series of breathing exercises and meditation techniques. As they practice together, a bond begins to form between them, one based on mutual understanding and respect.
JAMIE
(uninterested, stretching)
You two keep doing your thing. I'm going for a new record.
INT. NEXUS - GINGORDA'S OFFICE
Don and Kakida return from Argentina, stepping into Gingorda's office. Gingorda looks up from his desk, his expression stern and questioning.
GINGORDA
(seriously, a hint of reproach)
Did I tell you to go to Argentina with Kakida?
DON
(defiantly, but with a grin)
Getting the boy some experience. Next, I'm getting that dread-head kid Genko, then the little short afro boy, then the two Mexicans because they can't be apart, and finally Braden's fast, blue-eyed self.
GINGORDA
(concerned, but resigned)
Are the EVOs okay? Do not let them be harmed.
DON
(reassuring, confident)
I always take them to Evo Care to find them a home.
Kakida observes Don, a mix of admiration and curiosity in his eyes.
KAKIDA
(impressed, but seeking guidance)
I see you don't take orders.
DON
(smiling, with a hint of pride)
I don't because I'm experienced and know what I'm doing. You don't do that, okay?
KAKIDA
(nodding, understanding)
Understood.
