Scene 1 – Town in Panic

Posters everywhere:

"PROTECT YOURSELF FROM TRUCK-KUN!"

"LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE DESTINY!"

"JOIN THE A.T.A. TODAY!"

Henry rolls slowly through the outskirts.

Henry:

"…They made a club?"

Rein:

"It's called the Anti-Truck Association."

Henry:

"I'm famous already?"

Rein:

"Yes."

Henry:

"As a hero?"

Rein:

"No."

Henry:

"…I hate this town."

Scene 2 – The Rival Appears

BOOM.

The ground cracks.

A massive black armored truck emerges from the shadows.

Red glowing headlights.

Dark smoke aura.

???

"So you're the new one."

Henry:

"…New what?"

???

"Truck-Kun Model 2.0."

Henry:

"MODEL 2.0?!"

Rein (whispering):

"That is Oblivion Truck."

Henry:

"Why does he look cooler than me?"

Oblivion Truck:

"You send heroes."

"I send villains."

Lightning strikes behind him.

Henry:

"YOU CAN DO THAT?!"

Oblivion:

"I don't wait for destiny."

"I choose."

Scene 3 – Temptation

Oblivion rolls closer.

Oblivion:

"You struggle because you hesitate."

"You question if you're hero or villain."

Henry stays silent.

Oblivion:

"Stop caring."

"Send anyone."

"Let chaos grow."

System Message:

4/5 Required.

Oblivion smirks.

Oblivion:

"I've already completed 12."

Henry:

"TWELVE?!"

Rein:

"He doesn't follow rules."

Henry (thinking):

"If I just stop caring… this would be easy."

Headlights dim slightly.

Rein:

"Be careful, Henry."

Scene 4 – The Refusal

Suddenly—

A teenage boy stands in the street.

Boy:

"Is it true?"

"You send people to another world?"

Henry freezes.

Henry:

"…Yes."

Boy:

"My life is terrible."

"I want magic."

"I want power."

System message begins forming.

But—

Boy:

"…But if I leave…"

"My little sister will be alone."

Silence.

System:

Reincarnation Possible.

Henry hesitates.

Oblivion (mocking):

"Well?"

Henry:

"Do you really want to go?"

Boy shakes.

Boy:

"I don't know."

Henry slowly turns off his engine glow.

System disappears.

Mission paused.

Henry:

"Then I won't force you."

Oblivion:

"…Pathetic."

Rein smiles slightly.

Rein:

"Interesting."

Scene 5 – TOTAL TOWN CHAOS

Meanwhile—

Anti-Truck Association launches "Operation Wheel Lock."

They build barricades.

They install mirrors.

They chant:

"NO MORE PORTALS!"

A clumsy member trips—

Portal opens.

4/5 Complete.

Henry:

"I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HIM AGAIN!"

Rein:

"Fate enjoys irony."

Scene 6 – The Duel

Oblivion charges.

Flames explode behind him.

Oblivion:

"You don't deserve the title of Truck-Kun!"

Henry:

"I don't even want it!"

They drift around each other.

Portal energy collides.

Blue vs Red.

Oblivion:

"You hesitate."

Henry:

"I think."

Oblivion:

"You're weak."

Henry:

"I'm not you."

Oblivion rams forward—

But Henry swerves.

Oblivion accidentally hits a runaway criminal.

Portal opens.

Villain Reincarnation Activated.

System:

5/5 Complete.

Upgrade Unlocked.

Henry:

"…Wait."

"I won?"

Rein:

"You completed the mission."

Oblivion growls.

Oblivion:

"This isn't over."

He vanishes into smoke.

Scene 7 – Upgrade

Golden light surrounds Henry.

System Message:

New Skill Unlocked:

Choice Authority.

Henry:

"…Choice?"

Rein:

"You can now reject or approve reincarnation."

Henry goes quiet.

Henry:

"So I'm not just destiny."

Rein:

"No."

"You are judgment."

Henry:"…That's heavier."

Rein:

"Yes."
