INT. TRANSPORT PLANE – IN THE SKY OVER SAUDI ARABIA – DAY
Inside the military transport plane, Braden, Genko, Kakida, and Jamie are preparing for battle. The plane rumbles through the air, turbulence shaking the cabin as the war rages below. The Evo soldiers accompanying them check their gear in tense silence, but the four chosen ones are locked in a quiet conversation.
BRADEN
(grim)
You guys feeling this? The ground below is gonna be pure chaos. We've gotta move fast.
KAKIDA
(steady)
We'll split up once we hit the ground. Evacuation zones are spread thin, and Legion troops are everywhere. We stick to the mission—get the Evos to safety first.
GENKO
(grinning)
And crack some Legion heads while we're at it. I'm ready.
JAMIE
(nods)
They won't know what hit them. The evac pods are our priority, but we can't leave anyone behind.
The plane dips, and the soldiers brace themselves. The pilot's voice crackles over the comms.
PILOT (V.O.)
We're approaching the drop zone. Ready up!
The back of the plane opens, revealing the city of Saudi Arabia below, now a battlefield. Explosions and fires dot the landscape, and the Legion's forces swarm the streets.
KAKIDA
(standing)
It's time. Let's move.
The group leaps out of the plane, free-falling toward the war-torn city below. Their descent is quick, and as they near the ground, Braden's speed kicks in, allowing him to land softly and help guide the others. Kakida, Jamie, and Genko crash down with powerful force, scattering debris upon landing.
EXT. SAUDI ARABIA – CITY CENTER – DAY
The group lands in the heart of the city, where chaos reigns. Civilians run in all directions, trying to avoid the heavy fire from Legion soldiers. The sound of gunfire and explosions fills the air, and smoke obscures their view.
BRADEN
(yelling)
We can't stay together! Too many people need help in different areas. We split up!
KAKIDA
(nodding)
We'll cover more ground that way. Stay sharp!
JAMIE
(readying his arm cannon)
I'll take the eastern side and secure those evac pods.
GENKO
(cracking his knuckles)
I'll head west and clear the path for any stragglers.
BRADEN
(pointing north)
I'll speed through the north and make sure the pods are still operational. Kakida, you take the south, hold them off as long as you can.
KAKIDA
(steely)
We'll meet back here when it's clear. Good luck.
With a shared glance of determination, the team splits up, each rushing toward their designated areas as the battle rages on.
EXT. SAUDI ARABIA – EASTERN DISTRICT – DAY
Jamie sprints through the eastern district, his arm transforming into a massive cannon as he fires energy blasts at the advancing Legion soldiers. The soldiers fall back under the intensity of his attack, but they keep coming.
JAMIE
(gritting his teeth)
There's too many of them!
He spots a group of Evo civilians trapped behind a collapsed building. Without hesitation, Jamie charges forward, his cannon-arm blazing as he blasts through the debris, freeing the civilians.
JAMIE
(to the civilians)
Get to the pods! I'll cover you!
The civilians run for the safety pods, and Jamie continues to hold off the Legion soldiers. But suddenly, the ground trembles, and Zarvox, the towering Martian warlord, descends from the sky, landing with a thunderous crash.
ZARVOX
(mocking)
You again? Didn't you learn your lesson last time?
Jamie stands his ground, charging his arm cannon with everything he's got.
JAMIE
(angrily)
I'm not running from you this time!
He fires a massive energy blast directly at Zarvox, but the Martian warlord raises his hand, deflecting the beam effortlessly. The impact sends Jamie stumbling back, but he quickly regains his footing.
ZARVOX
(smiling)
Futile.
Zarvox charges forward, delivering a brutal punch that sends Jamie crashing into a nearby wall, leaving a deep crater. Jamie groans in pain but struggles to get back to his feet.
EXT. SAUDI ARABIA – WESTERN DISTRICT – DAY
Genko charges through the western district, his rock-hard skin absorbing the Legion soldiers' attacks as he bulldozes through them. His fists crash into their ranks, sending soldiers flying with every hit.
GENKO
(grinning)
C'mon! You're gonna need more than that to stop me!
He spots a group of Evo civilians trapped inside a burning building. Without a second thought, Genko charges in, using his strength to break through the debris and create a path for them to escape.
GENKO
(to the civilians)
Move it! Get to the pods!
As the civilians flee, Genko turns to face the advancing Legion soldiers. He slams his fists into the ground, causing the earth to tremble and knock the soldiers off their feet. But as he fights, he hears a familiar voice.
DEVIN
You think you're invincible, rock boy?
Genko turns just in time to see Zarvox hurtling toward him. The Martian warlord slams into Genko, sending him flying across the city. Genko crashes into a building, the impact leaving him dazed and barely conscious.
EXT. SAUDI ARABIA – NORTHERN DISTRICT – DAY
Braden races through the northern district, moving too fast for the Legion soldiers to even see him. He rescues civilians in the blink of an eye, guiding them to the evac pods and ensuring their safety.
But as he reaches the last group of civilians, he spots something in the distance—a familiar figure standing atop a building. It's Shinkobi Ichitada, Kakida's old nemesis. Braden's heart races as he realizes Kakida is in danger.
BRADEN
(whispering)
Kakida…
EXT. SAUDI ARABIA – SOUTHERN DISTRICT – DAY
Kakida stands on the rooftop, facing down Shinkobi Ichitada. The two warriors lock eyes, their shared history fueling the tension between them.
SHINKOBI
(coldly)
Still chasing shadows, Kakida? You never did know when to stop.
KAKIDA
(angrily)
I'll stop when you're gone for good.
Kakida charges at Shinkobi, his sword blazing with energy. The two clash in a flurry of strikes, each blow sending sparks flying. Shinkobi is fast, but Kakida's anger gives him strength, pushing him to fight harder.
SHINKOBI
(mocking)
You've grown stronger, but you're still weak.
With a brutal counterattack, Shinkobi disarms Kakida and delivers a devastating blow that sends him crashing to the ground. Kakida gasps for breath, blood dripping from his mouth.
KAKIDA
(weakly)
I'm not done yet…
But before Shinkobi can deliver the final blow, Braden appears in a blur of motion, grabbing Kakida and speeding him away just in time.
CUT TO: EXT. NEXUS – TRAINING ROOM – DAY
Meanwhile, deep underground in the Nexus, Laetayeo and Melanie are still trapped in the training room. They pound on the walls, desperate to escape as the alarms blare around them.
LAETAYEO
(excitedly)
We've gotta get out there! They're fighting without us!
MELANIE
(panicking)
The whole underground city is under attack! We have to help!
Suddenly, the doors to the training room burst open, and they come face to face with Dakarai Abioye and Max Kaysen. The two Legion leaders stand with smug smiles, blocking their path.
DAKARAI
(casually)
So, you finally found us. We've been waiting.
MELANIE
(angrily)
What are you doing here?!
MAX KAYSEN
(grinning)
Our plan's working perfectly. Gingorda's away, and now the Nexus's defenses are weak. It took years to find this place, and now it's ours.
DAKARAI
(to Laetayeo)
You and I have some history to settle. Your village and mine… bad blood runs deep, doesn't it?
LAETAYEO
(furious)
You destroyed my people! You'll pay for that!
Laetayeo charges at Dakarai, his fists blazing with energy, while Melanie prepares to defend the underground city from Max.
FADE OUT
NARRATOR (V.O.)
As the battle rages on, alliances are tested, and enemies reveal themselves. With the Nexus under attack and the chosen ones scattered, the fight for survival grows more desperate with every passing moment.
