INT. NEXUS - GINGORDA'S OFFICE
The scene opens with Don briefing Gingorda on the next mission.
DON
(casual, yet focused)
Alright, Gingorda, I'll take Genko on a mission, and Braden can take Laetayeo, Jamie, and Melanie.
GINGORDA
(sternly, with emphasis)
They have names, Don. It's Laetayeo, Jamie, and Melanie. Respect them.
DON
(laughing, trying to lighten the mood)
Alright, man. When I get back, I want some gumbo. Make sure the kitchen gets it right. Talking about it, we need some Louisiana EVOs—those bayou girls.
INT. GENKO'S ROOM
Genko is in his room, vibing to old-school rap music, completely lost in the rhythm. The bass reverberates through the walls. Suddenly, Don teleports in, startling Genko.
GENKO
(annoyed, turning down the volume)
Do you know how to knock, man? Like, WTF?
DON
(unfazed, all business)
We've got a mission to do.
GENKO
(sarcastically, testing Don)
And if I don't?
DON
(deadpan, a hint of threat)
I'll punish you, bum. Now get up and come with me.
Genko cranks up his music, dismissing Don. Frustrated, Don pulls out a small device, and with a flick of his wrist, he blows up Genko's headphones. Furious, Genko's skin hardens into rock as he charges at Don.
DON
(holding up new AirPods, a smirk on his face)
Come with me and I'll give you these.
Genko hesitates, intrigued. With a resigned sigh, he agrees and quickly gets dressed. The two teleport to a high-tech building in the UK, a stronghold filled with agents.
DON
(speaking low, instructing)
Alright, we need to be a little quiet.
GENKO
(slipping in the AirPods, grinning)
When I do things like this, I always listen to music. It helps me go with the flow. Just follow me.
Genko starts playing a gritty New York rap track, letting the rhythm dictate his movements. He moves aggressively but smoothly through the building, his actions almost like a dance. Don follows closely behind, silently impressed by Genko's unique style.
DON
(to himself, observing)
He's a lot more aggressive, not really a smart fighter, but a very feisty and relentless one.
Genko uses his rock-hard abilities to incapacitate the agents, knocking them out or causing severe pain without killing them, unless absolutely necessary. Don assists, his strikes precise and calculated, but always leaving the heavy lifting to Genko.
DON
(half to himself, half in awe)
It's like he's dancing in the fight.
After clearing several floors, they reach the top where a mafia boss waits, nervously watching the duo approach.
MAFIA BOSS
(trying to sound authoritative)
Hey, you guys can't be here!
GENKO
(confidently, enjoying the moment)
Watch this.
Genko demonstrates his "Orbit" move, locking onto the boss and slamming him into the ground with the force of a meteor. Don calmly walks over, crouching beside the dazed boss.
DON
(coolly, almost conversational)
Where are the EVO camps you're hiding?
MAFIA BOSS
(defiant, through gritted teeth)
I'll never tell you, punk.
DON
(shrugging, to Genko)
Okay, Genko, do that orbit thing again.
Genko smirks and repeats the move, sending the boss crashing into the opposite wall. Don grabs the boss's hand, examining it like a puzzle.
DON
(casually, as if discussing the weather)
For every time you say no, I'll pull a finger off.
MAFIA BOSS
(spitting, desperate)
Fuck you.
Without hesitation, Don pulls off the boss's index finger, causing him to scream in agony.
GENKO
(leaning in, voice low)
Yo, B. Drop the camps.
Genko conjures a large boulder, holding it menacingly over the boss's head. Don breaks another finger, then the boss's nose, letting the boulder inch closer.
MAFIA BOSS
(hysterical, laughing manically)
You'll bow down to Ashimoto. He puts fear into you. Hahaha!
GENKO
(sensing something off, whispering to Don)
Don, he's acting weird.
MAFIA BOSS
(taunting, eyes wild)
Remember your family? All dead. Father, mother, brother, sister—all dead. Those weird blue blood freaks.
Rage ignites in Don's eyes. Without another word, he pushes Genko's hand, sending the boulder crashing down, crushing the boss completely. Genko steps back, shocked by Don's ruthlessness.
GENKO
(shaking his head, voice low)
Brutal, man. That's crazy.
DON
(ignoring the moral implications, focused)
AI assistant, find evidence of EVO camps being held captive. Call me back if any info.
AI ASSISTANT (V.O.)
(precise, efficient)
Understood.
INT. NEXUS - HALLWAYS
As Don and Genko walk back through the Nexus, Don takes the opportunity to impart some hard-earned wisdom.
DON
(seriously, but with a hint of care)
We need to find these EVOs and bring them to safety. It's our duty.
GENKO
(struggling with the gravity of what happened)
I get it. It's just... I've never killed someone like that before.
DON
(softening, but firm)
Sometimes, you have to do what's necessary. It's not about enjoying it; it's about protecting those who can't protect themselves.
CUT TO:
INT. SCIENCE LAB
Braden is hard at work, upgrading Jamie's suit. The lab is filled with the hum of advanced technology, wires, and tools strewn across the workspace.
JAMIE
(curious, watching the modifications)
So, what's this upgrade supposed to do?
BRADEN
(excited, detailing the changes)
It's designed to enhance your strength and durability. Plus, I've added some cannon blasters for ranged attacks.
Jamie grins as he tests out the suit, firing the cannon blasters at a target. The blasts hit with precision, the power behind them palpable.
JAMIE
(amazed, thrilled)
Whoa, this is awesome!
BRADEN
(grinning, but cautious)
Glad you like it. Just don't blow up the lab, okay?
CUT TO:
INT. NEXUS - GINGORDA'S OFFICE
Don and Gingorda stand together, reviewing the mission details. Vixon, the AI assistant, appears on a holographic screen, its voice calm and authoritative.
VIXON
(informative, direct)
We have found evidence of EVO camps. Sending the coordinates now.
GINGORDA
(nodding, urgency in his voice)
Good work, Vixon. We need to move quickly.
DON
(decisive, already planning)
I'll gather the team. We'll be ready.
GINGORDA
(emphasizing the gravity)
Make sure they understand the importance of this mission, Don. Lives are at stake.
DON
(confident, reassuring)
They'll be ready. They're stronger than they realize.
GINGORDA
(trusting, but firm)
I trust your judgment. Go, and bring our people home.
INT. TRAINING ROOM
Laetayeo and Melanie continue their practice. Melanie is slowly gaining better control over her powers, her confidence growing with each success.
LAETAYEO
(encouraging, proud)
You're doing great, Melanie. Just keep focusing.
MELANIE
(smiling, feeling more in control)
Thanks, Laetayeo. I feel like I'm starting to understand it better.
They sit down together, the intensity of training giving way to a moment of camaraderie.
LAETAYEO
(gently, curious)
So, tell me more about yourself. What was life like before all this?
MELANIE
(reflective, opening up)
It was tough. Jamie and I were on our own for a long time. But we always had each other's back.
LAETAYEO
(nodding, understanding)
Family is important. I miss my village and my mom. But I'm glad to have met all of you.
MELANIE
(smiling warmly, feeling the connection)
Me too. We're like a new family now.
Their bond deepens as they share more about their pasts and their hopes for the future, finding solace in their shared experiences.
FADE OUT.
NARRATOR (V.O.) In the face of adversity, bonds are forged and strength is tested. As the chosen ones prepare for their mission, the fate of many hangs in the balance. The journey continues, with new challenges and triumphs awaiting them.
