Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

Chapter 23: EPISODE 23: “Threads of the Forgotten”



☁️ [Scene 1 – The Training Courtyard, Break Academy, Just Before Dawn]

The early sky is bruised with static clouds. The courtyard, normally peaceful, flickers with lingering distortions. The Avengers stand in a protective formation. Each holds a sealed memory sigil — small scrolls wrapped in charms to resist Null's erasure.

ONMYO FLARE (drawing sigils):

"These memory anchors will help keep our minds intact. But they're temporary. The more you rely on emotion or instinct — the weaker the sigil becomes."

SCARLET ONNA (cold):

"Then we don't just fight with power anymore. We fight with who we are."

STARWAVE (sarcastic):

"Great. My personality is my weapon now? We're all screwed."

KURO ŌKAMI:

"I'll remember all of you. Even if the world forgets."

📍 [Scene 2 – Suginami Ward: Missing Zone]

The group splits into partners again, targeting one of the highest 'memory loss' hot spots in Tokyo.

👥 Team 1: Starwave & Onmyo Flare

They sneak through a school where every student and teacher is now gone. Their desks remain. Name tags faded. Hallways echo with whispered lectures from forgotten voices.

STARWAVE (holding a cracked ID badge):

"This school sponsored my first idol event. They loved me. Now it's… dust."

They enter the auditorium. The ceiling collapses — and a Memory Phantom, wearing a veil of report cards and childhood drawings, emerges.

ONMYO FLARE (casting quick scroll):

"Binding seal — HIBANA!"

He throws flame charms that explode around the phantom.

But it copies his voice.

PHANTOM (mocking):

"Flare. Forgotten. Flame. Flicker. Fading..."

STARWAVE (rage-kick):

"SHUT UP!"

She launches a resonance tempo crash, clearing the echo. But Onmyo Flare is visibly shaken.

ONMYO FLARE:

"That voice. It used my childhood name. One I haven't said in years…"

🧵 Team 2: Kuro Ōkami & Scarlet Onna

They track a memory bleed inside a textile warehouse. Threads unravel mid-air. The looms keep moving — weaving people's names into cloth that vanishes when touched.

SCARLET ONNA (softly):

"These are birth-names. Threads of lives already erased."

Suddenly, a glitch opens — and a monster appears, stitched together from lost garments, photos, name tags, and toy fabrics.

KURO ŌKAMI (claws ready):

"No mercy."

The beast swings a giant scarf-arm and knocks Kuro across the warehouse.

SCARLET ONNA (eyes wide):

"Wait—Kuro, it's wearing your jacket!"

The beast has absorbed his first uniform, and is now moving like him.

Kuro growls, forces himself upright, and activates Beast Surge: Midnight Howl Mode.

He dashes and tears the mimic apart — but he hesitates at the last moment.

The mimic smiles, wearing his childhood face.

Kuro drops to one knee.

KURO ŌKAMI (panting):

"That wasn't just memory. That was me."

🧠 [Scene 3 – Break Academy, Memory Crisis]

Back at HQ, all four return—clearly shaken.

Starwave can't remember one of her own album names.

Onmyo Flare forgets how to activate a basic flame charm.

Scarlet Onna finds one of her threads unraveling permanently.

Kuro Ōkami looks in the mirror… and doesn't recognize his face for a moment.

ONMYO FLARE:

"We're breaking. Bit by bit."

SCARLET ONNA (tight voice):

"Then we have to tie each other together. Reinforce who we are."

She brings out four enchanted silken cords.

SCARLET ONNA:

"These are Soul Knots. I wove them from my family shrine's ancestral threads."

They each tie one to their wrist.

STARWAVE:

"So we're just… bracelets away from erasure now?"

KURO ŌKAMI:

"No. We're memory-bound. To each other."

🧩 [Scene 4 – Null's Digital Shrine: Tower Grid Ritual]

Cut to Null's lair inside a floating cube above Tokyo Tower. His hooded monks now chant in binary, their bodies glitching from identity loss.

Null walks across a bridge made of broken nameplates.

NULL (calmly):

"They resist. As expected."

He reaches a massive shrine of shattered mirrors. One by one, the reflections of each Avenger appear — flickering.

NULL:

"Time to untether their truth."

He places a command scroll into the shrine. The command reads:

WIPE IDENTITY: TOKYO AVENGERS → GLOBAL SCOPE.

Tokyo's skies flicker.

💥 [Final Scene – Memory Quake Begins]

Suddenly, across the city:

ID cards lose names.

School registers wipe out student lists.

News articles about the Tokyo Avengers vanish mid-scroll.

Their names blur off of fan signs and police files.

Even photos begin glitching out their presence.

SCARLET ONNA (reading disappearing news feed):

"They've started global erasure. If this keeps up…"

STARWAVE (gritting teeth):

"We'll be legends no one ever remembers."

🎴 [END CARD – TOKYO AVENGERS]

EPISODE 23: "Threads of the Forgotten" — END

🪢 Next: Episode 24 — "REM/ID Conflict"

The final stage of Null's purge has begun. But if memory defines the soul… what happens when the soul fights back?

Shall we go straight to Episode 24, or want a visual of Null's shrine and memory command screen?
