Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: old friends , new foes

[MUSIC: Eerie, low synths with a pulsing beat as the episode opens in a dark alley]

The camera pans slowly over the shadowy streets of Tokyo. The air feels heavy, almost suffocating. Goku emerges from the shadows, his face illuminated only by the dim streetlights. His scythe, Grim Reaper, rests on his shoulder, the blade gleaming menacingly.

DNS stands at the other end of the alley, his heart sinking. This isn't just any enemy. This is Goku, the boy he grew up with—the friend he thought he had lost.

DNS (tense): "Goku…"

Goku smirks, spinning the scythe lazily in his hands. "It's been a long time, DNS."

The weight of the past settles between them like a physical force. Neel, standing by DNS's side, remains silent, his eyes darting between the two, sensing the unspoken tension.

DNS (gritting his teeth): "What are you doing here? With them?"

Goku: "I could ask you the same question. Except I already know the answer. You're still playing the hero. But look where that's gotten you."

DNS feels the sting of Goku's words, but he doesn't flinch. He tightens his grip on Vajra, the cold steel of his weapon grounding him.

DNS: "You were supposed to be dead."

Goku's smirk widens. "Maybe I was. But you know what they say—death is just the beginning."

The Fight

[MUSIC: High-octane battle music as Goku lunges forward, scythe slicing through the air]

The two clash in a blur of motion. DNS barely blocks the first strike, the force of the blow sending him skidding backward. Goku's movements are fluid, his scythe an extension of his body as he swings with lethal precision.

Neel watches from the sidelines, ready to jump in but knowing that this fight is personal. DNS and Goku have unfinished business.

Goku (taunting): "You always were predictable."

DNS (panting): "And you've always been too cocky."

The fight rages on, sparks flying as their weapons collide. DNS's breath comes in ragged gasps, but he refuses to back down. He's not just fighting for his life—he's fighting for the friend he lost.

Suddenly, Goku's blade catches DNS off guard, slicing through his arm. DNS stumbles, pain flaring through him, but he doesn't fall.

[MUSIC: Tension escalates as the camera zooms in on DNS, blood dripping from his arm]

Goku (smiling): "You're not as sharp as you used to be."

DNS (gritting his teeth): "You'll have to do better than that."

With a roar, DNS charges forward, swinging Vajra with all his strength. Goku dodges, but DNS is relentless, his strikes coming faster and harder.

Finally, with a well-timed blow, DNS knocks Goku's scythe out of his hands. The two stand there, panting, staring each other down.

Unfinished Business

[MUSIC: Soft, eerie music plays as the tension between the two old friends hangs in the air]

Goku (calmly): "This isn't over. Not by a long shot."

Before DNS can respond, Goku disappears into the shadows, leaving nothing but the echo of his footsteps behind.

Neel steps forward, watching Goku's retreating form. "That was… intense."

DNS says nothing, his mind racing. Goku's return is more than just a personal grudge—it's a sign that something bigger is coming.

[MUSIC: Ominous, low tones as the camera pulls back, revealing the Tokyo skyline]

As DNS stares into the distance, he can't shake the feeling that this is only the beginning of something far darker.
