Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

🕯️ "To revive the fallen is to pay a price — not with power, but with identity."

🎬 [Scene 1 – Battlefield Ruins Outside Shibuya, Nightfall]

The battlefield is a grave of light and code. The cathedral once constructed by Null, with its towering stained-glass circuitry and monolithic pixel-shrines, now lies in fragments. Cracks zigzag across broken memory-core crystals; black data bleeds from the walls like ink.

The air is sharp with static.

STARWAVE (frantic, voice trembling):

"Kuro! Kuro, answer me!"

She kneels at his side — clawed gauntlets broken, mask shattered. His beast form has receded. What remains is a battered young man with glowing white lashes and a chest too still.

SCARLET ONNA (checking his threads):

"No pulse in the ether. His beast link is severed."

ONMYO FLARE (quiet):

"He died under the moonlight… just like the prophecy said."

Suddenly, the corrupted remains of the cathedral release one final death-pulse. A column of glitch-light spirals into the sky. The team barely shields themselves before it collapses into a vacuum implosion — dragging Null's broken code into oblivion.

As the chaos fades, so does their last hope.

STARWAVE (whispers):

"Not like this. Not him."

🕸️ [Scene 2 – Break Academy: The Forbidden Archives]

Deep within Break Academy, behind runic doors chained with seven silk seals, lies the Sutra Vault — the lowest and oldest part of the temple. The walls are lined with ancient scrolls that breathe, whisper, and glow with memories long since buried.

Scarlet Onna guides the group with threadlight leading the way.

SCARLET ONNA:

"We're not supposed to be here. The scrolls inside... they feed on names."

ONMYO FLARE (stepping forward):

"There's only one method left: the Bloomless Moon Rite."

He unfurls a scroll that shifts unnaturally, its writing rearranging itself midair. Diagrams of a circle, symbols of identity, and an altar made of lunar metal.

STARWAVE (reading):

"'A life restored by memory must forget something true.'"

SCARLET ONNA:

"It's resurrection through identity sacrifice. We offer pieces of ourselves in exchange for his soul."

STARWAVE:

"Then I'll give it. Whatever I have to. We're not losing him."

🔮 [Scene 3 – Ritual of the Bloomless Moon]

Inside the shrine chamber, moonlight refracts unnaturally through spirit lenses embedded in the ceiling. A chalk circle drawn with spiritual ink surrounds a crystalline basin filled with etherwater.

Each member steps forward, placing their sacrifice:

Scarlet Onna removes her thread-ring — the first she ever spun. It burns into ash.

Onmyo Flare chants the incantation of a flame spell he once created as a child — then lets it vanish from his soul.

Starwave takes out a shattered crystal chip from her idol headset: her first solo concert recording. She crushes it beneath her heel.

STARWAVE (tears in her voice):

"He gave up everything for us. We're just giving back."

The basin glows. The air grows thick with petals — not from nature, but memory.

As the ritual completes, the light twists into a spiral. The basin explodes upward into a bloom of inverted lunar light.

🐺 [Scene 4 – Resurrection: The Howl Returns]

From the epicenter, clawed fingers grip the ground.

A broken howl echoes through the chamber.

Kuro Ōkami rises, steam hissing from his shoulders, eyes faintly glowing with moonlight silver. His mask reforms — cracked — but present.

He staggers to his knees, confused.

KURO ŌKAMI (disoriented):

"I remember darkness… then a girl's voice… calling my name."

STARWAVE (running to him):

"You idiot… You were gone."

KURO ŌKAMI (faint smile):

"Couldn't let you all hog the spotlight."

SCARLET ONNA (not smiling):

"Next time, don't be so noble."

He looks down at the ritual circle.

KURO ŌKAMI:

"…What did it cost?"

Everyone goes silent.

🧩 [Scene 5 – Null's Final Data Fragment]

Back at the wreckage of the cathedral, a lone crystal shard pulses and activates.

NULL (glitched hologram):

"Memory is bondage. Identity is vulnerability. If you would become free — you must forget your name."

The fragment fizzles, data disintegrating.

ONMYO FLARE:

"He knew we'd try to bring Kuro back. He counted on the price."

SCARLET ONNA (staring into the broken sky):

"We gained him… but lost parts of ourselves."

STARWAVE (clenching her fist):

"Then let's make every piece worth it."
