Episode 4: The Calm Before the Storm
Opening Scene – The Hideout
(The team is in their safe house, finally taking a break after intense battles. Mr. D has vanished without a trace, frustrating their efforts. Angel Victor, sensing the team's exhaustion, decides they need to unwind.)
Angel Victor: (stretching) "Today, we do nothing serious."
Femi: (mock gasp) "Somebody write this down! The mighty Sango finally said we should rest!"
Patricia: (laughing) "The world must be ending."
(Angel Victor smirks, throwing a cushion at Femi, who dodges dramatically. The tension fades as the team decides to enjoy themselves.)

Feasting and Banter
(Teni prepares a feast, using her Yemoja-given powers to make everything taste divine. Plates are piled high, drinks flow, and the team eats with pure joy.)
Dayo: (stuffing his face) "If fighting doesn't work out, Teni, you should open a restaurant."
Teni: (smirking) "And you'll be my best customer."
(Femi, never missing a chance for mischief, grabs a piece of meat from Dayo's plate. Dayo glares at him.)
Dayo: (threateningly) "Put. It. Back."
Femi: (grinning, chewing) "Too late."
(Dayo lunges, but Femi flips over the table, laughing as he runs. The team bursts into laughter. It's a rare moment of pure happiness.)

The Dance-Off & Amara's Struggle
(Music fills the hideout. Teni and Femi start an impromptu dance battle. Patricia watches, shaking her head while Angel Victor leans against the wall, amused.)
Teni: (spinning) "Come on, Femi! Try to keep up."
Femi: (mock dramatic) "I am a master of movement."
(He attempts a breakdance move and falls flat. The room erupts in laughter.)
(Meanwhile, Amara, the robot, watches with her usual blank expression before attempting to mimic their moves. It's stiff and awkward, like a malfunctioning machine.)
Amara: (deadpan) "Is this… correct?"
(The team dies laughing as she robotically shuffles her feet. Even Angel Victor cracks up.)
Angel Victor: (chuckling) "Amara, please. You're killing me."
(Amara tilts her head, confused but unbothered.)

The Ultimate Showdown – Ogun vs. Sango
(As the night goes on, Femi gets an idea. He stands up, grinning wickedly.)
Femi: "We've danced, we've eaten, but let's settle something once and for all—who's the strongest?"
Dayo: (grinning, cracking his knuckles) "You already know the answer."
Angel Victor: (raising an eyebrow) "Do I?"
(The room goes wild. The mighty Ogun vs. the powerful Sango. A friendly but intense combat match. The rules? No weapons, just raw strength and skill.)
(The team forms a circle. Patricia shakes her head but smirks.)
Patricia: (muttering) "Boys and their egos."
(Angel Victor and Dayo step into the center, rolling their shoulders. Sparks of lightning crackle around Angel Victor. Dayo's fists glow with raw earth energy.)
Femi: (acting as referee) "Alright! No death moves. First to be pinned or knocked down loses."
(The battle begins!)

The Clash of Titans
(Dayo charges first, fists slamming into the ground. The shockwave almost throws Angel Victor off balance, but he leaps over it, landing with a spinning kick. Dayo barely dodges, countering with a powerful punch that sends Angel Victor skidding back.)
Teni: (whistling) "They're not holding back."
(Angel Victor grins. He rushes forward, feinting left before striking with a thunder-infused palm. Dayo blocks, his arms shaking from the force. They exchange blow after blow—strength against speed, brute force against lightning reflexes.)
(Suddenly, Angel Victor moves like lightning itself, appearing behind Dayo, aiming for a takedown. But Dayo anticipates it, grabbing Angel Victor mid-movement and slamming him into the ground! The impact shakes the hideout.)
Femi: (jumping back) "Ooooh! Sango just got body-slammed!"
(Angel Victor grits his teeth, then smirks. Before Dayo can celebrate, Angel Victor vanishes in a flash of electricity, reappearing above him, striking down with a lightning-powered kick! )
(Dayo crashes into the ground. Silence. Then… he groans and raises a hand in surrender.)
Dayo: (grinning, breathing hard) "Alright, alright. You got me."
(The team cheers. Angel Victor helps Dayo up, both laughing. It wasn't just about winning—it was about testing their limits as warriors and friends.)

A Call from the Gods
(As the team cools down, Angel Victor steps outside for air. The night is calm… until a golden portal appears before him. A deep, divine voice echoes from within.)
Mysterious Voice: "Sango… you are needed."
(A godly figure steps out, radiating power. Angel Victor grips his axe, prepared for battle.)
Angel Victor: "Who are you?"
Divine Messenger: "A war among gods brews beyond these lands. You must come. Alone."
(Angel Victor frowns, knowing he cannot ignore this. The mission ahead is greater than anything they've faced.)
(The next morning, the team gathers. Angel Victor stands ready to leave.)
Patricia: (worried) "You're just going to leave?"
Angel Victor: (nodding) "I have to."
(Dayo pats his shoulder, Teni crosses her arms but gives a small nod, and Femi sighs dramatically.)
Femi: "At least tell them you don't like spicy food so they don't poison you."
(Patricia looks at Angel Victor, eyes filled with unspoken words. But she says nothing. Instead, she steps forward and hugs him briefly before stepping back.)
(Without another word, Angel Victor steps into the portal. The team watches as it closes, leaving them behind.)
(And just like that, their leader was gone… into the unknown.)
