Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

Chapter 12: EPISODE 12: “Tokyo’s Crimson Cross”



🕯️ [Scene 1 – Morning Broadcast, Tokyo News Network]

A calm-voiced anchor speaks on TV:

"This just in — SHIELD confirms demonic activity in Tokyo.

But new intel suggests that a rogue group of Alterborns may be responsible."

IMAGE FLASHES ON SCREEN:

A doctored photo of the Tokyo Avengers team, bloodied, claws extended, surrounded by flames.

ANCHOR:

"Their leader is a former underground idol. Others are known fugitives.

Is this Tokyo's 'New Avengers'… or the beginning of its destruction?"

🎬 [Scene 2 – Break Academy in Lockdown]

The team watches in silence. Anger simmers.

STARWAVE:

"They're framing us…"

SCARLET ONNA (reading threadlines):

"This… isn't human journalism. This script is laced with demonic glyphs."

ONMYO FLARE:

"He's casting a mass-scale fear glamour through every screen. Everyone's minds are fogged."

KURO ŌKAMI (clenched fists):

"Then we break the screens."

👺 [Scene 3 – Mephisto's Hidden Play]

In an infernal broadcast tower built from TV antennae and bone wires, Mephisto lounges like a host.

MEPHISTO (to camera):

"Let the people judge. I just gave them a story… and they're eating it up."

A flaming Third Key of Collapse pulses beside him. Each public riot feeds it more.

🧨 [Scene 4 – Uprising Begins: Ueno District]

The team attempts to rescue survivors from an overrun museum.

Instead, they're met by angry crowds with homemade weapons.

CITIZEN (shouting):

"You brought the demons here!"

"We don't want Avengers—just peace!"

"Go back to the shadows!"

Someone throws a brick. It hits Starwave in the side. Kuro growls—but holds back.

🩸 [Scene 5 – Scarlet Onna's Pain]

Sayo senses her threadline seal on the museum is being undone… by children possessed through cursed paper cranes.

SCARLET ONNA:

"They're using my mother's patterns… but twisted."

She hesitates—unwilling to hurt the innocent. The cranes unravel into curse-needles, stabbing her leg. Blood drips through her silks.

🔥 [Scene 6 – Demon Cultists Strike]

Amid the chaos, hooded cultists bearing Mephisto's sigil activate a summoning.

A Bone-Fused Demon General rises — tall, six-armed, fused with camera lenses and megaphones.

🎭 NAME: MEDIA GORGE

Power: Distorts perception through amplified lies and illusions.

Visual: A towering, skeletal demon in black-red robes made of TV wires, faces on its chest screaming false news.

Goal: Absorb the riot's energy to awaken the third key.

MEDIA GORGE (booming):

"You want a villain?! You got one!!"

⚔️ [Scene 7 – Battle: Truth vs. Lies]

Onmyo Flare burns cursed flyers mid-air with sacred talismans.

Starwave charges her mic-staff with true sound—piercing illusions.

Scarlet Onna, despite bleeding, sews a Red Silence Thread Seal into the ground, cutting off the enemy's voice.

SCARLET ONNA:

"Shut. Up."

Kuro breaks through the possessed citizens' circle, roaring:

KURO ŌKAMI:

"I don't care what they believe. I know who we are!"

He leaps and claws through Media Gorge's megaphone chest.

🎯 [Scene 8 – Counter-Broadcast]

Nick Fury launches a counter-signal from a hidden satellite node:

a raw, live feed of the Tokyo Avengers saving lives and resisting the demon wave.

FURY (to Tokyo, live):

"You want heroes? They're already here.

And they don't need applause to save your asses."

Citizens across the city pause. The illusions fade. Some drop their weapons. Others cry.

💠 [Scene 9 – Seizing the Third Key]

The Third Key of Collapse breaks free from Media Gorge's body as the illusion dies.

Scarlet Onna wraps it in a Truth-Thread Binding, burning her fingers to lock it shut.

ONMYO FLARE:

"Three down. Two left."

STARWAVE (wincing from her wounds):

"How many more riots till this is over?"

🕳️ [Final Scene – Mephisto's Fury]

Mephisto watches as his tower of illusions crumbles.

MEPHISTO (to unseen figure):

"The world isn't turning fast enough.

Time to twist their hearts from the inside."

A door creaks open behind him. A masked girl steps out—face half-burned, eyes glowing red.

MEPHISTO:

"Let's unleash the Crimson Saint."

🎴 [End Card – Tokyo Avengers]

EPISODE 12: "Tokyo's Crimson Cross" — END

🌀 Next Time: Episode 13 — "The Crimson Saint Rises"
