SCENE START]INT. THE INTERDIMENSIONAL VOID - CONTINUOUSFragments of broken realities drift through a swirling, violent purple nebula. KRONOS drops onto a floating shard of obsidian stone. Kicking off the ground with explosive speed, he closes the distance between himself and LOLA. He swings his blade in a lethal arc, aiming to sever her pulsing, eye-covered tentacles.LOLA(Laughing with a dual, layered demonic screech)A redeemed pet thinks he can bite his master?!Two tentacles whip forward, slamming into Kronos's chest. The impact shatters his armor, but Kronos grips the slimy appendage with his bare hands, coughing blood as he drives his blade directly into one of the blinking red eyes. The entity screams as dark fluid erupts from the wound, sending both of them crashing deeper into the cosmic abyss.INT. YURTO'S CHRISTIAN ACADEMY - PRIVATE PARLOR - SAME TIMEZORA lies on the shattered marble floor. His body is almost entirely abstract now, flickering violently between flat 2D geometric shapes and static noise. The cartoonish Jax facade is completely gone. Tears stream down his pixelated face, and his real voice—hollow, terrified, and deeply vulnerable—finally breaks through the glitch.ZORA(Voice trembling, cracking with static)I'm sorry... Yurto, I'm so sorry. I didn't trust anyone... I thought if I kept laughing, if I kept popping those pills, the void wouldn't swallow me. I was just so scared of being broken again. I don't want to fade out like this... please...YURTO(Crying, pressing his glowing, grace-filled hands onto Zora's chest)You're not going anywhere, Zora! Push past the fear! Let the grace stabilize you! Suzume, help me channel it! SUZUME kneels beside them, pressing her hands over Yurto's, her fierce determination fueling the raw spiritual energy. The golden light of Yurto's grace slowly begins to weave through Zora's glitching, abstract form, fighting a desperate, agonizing battle to anchor his soul back to reality.EXT. BORDERLANDS - CIVIL WAR FRONT LINES - LATERThe strike team's momentum collapses into tragedy. Xenia's surviving insectoid swarm blinds the battlefield in a chaotic shroud. Out of the shadows, a hidden ambush force pulls SELENA away from the line, dragging her straight to JUDAS'S command tent.Inside the tent, Judas stands over a restrained Selena. He narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with ancient, merciless cruelty.JUDASLet this be the ultimate message to the frost bastard. Tear her apart.Judas's elite swarm-servants force Selena's mouth open. In a horrific execution mirroring Mileena's brutal demise in Mortal Kombat X, hundreds of flesh-eating toxic locusts and burrowing parasites are forced down her throat. The insects eat her from the inside out, bursting through her skin. Within moments, her dual blades clatter to the dirt as her life fades entirely.Minutes later, HIRIA bursts into the tent, his eyes glowing a blinding, absolute-zero blue. He freezes the executioners into brittle statues instantly, but it is too late. He looks down at Selena's lifeless, corroded body.The air pressure drops to a suffocating, lethal low. Hiria does not yell. He does not cry. A terrifying, dead silence washes over him as his grief hardens into pure, unadulterated wrath.HIRIA(Voice dangerously low, vibrating with absolute malice)No more holding back. Everyone dies.Hiria turns his focus to the heavy iron cells at the back of the command caravan, shattering the locks with a single wave of his frozen hand.From the cells emerge four prisoners:His biological Dren FATHER, gaunt but eyes burning with a desire for vengeance.KYOKKO, the nervous yet deeply loyal former maid who looks like Lilia from Mushoku Tensei, whom the father had a concubine relationship with years ago.His half-sister born from Lola.His half-sister born from Kyokko.The family stands amidst the ice and ruin, looking at Hiria's dead eyes and Selena's body. The historical weight of infidelity, secrets, and dirty blood evaporates under a single shared goal: absolute annihilation.NUMBER 5, CAIN, VICTORIA, HAGGAI, and RAJI rally behind them as the resurrected family steps out onto the ridge. Down in the valley, Judas stands at the head of his massive, world-ending army.With his father, his step-sisters, and his remaining strike team flanked on either side, Hiria steps forward. A massive, apocalyptic blizzard begins to consume the entire dual-country battlefield, turning the sky pitch black as they prepare to tear Judas apart.
