Chapter 27: EPISODE 27: “Feral Interruption”
✨ "You can't fake instinct."
🧠 [Scene 1 – Break Academy, Training Floor]
The Tokyo Avengers are shaken. Their mirrored selves — warped doppelgängers left behind by Mystique — are appearing across Tokyo.
SCARLET ONNA sits surrounded by tangled, corrupted threads.
SCARLET ONNA (quietly):
"She's not mimicking us anymore. She's splitting us. Manifesting versions of who we might've been."
ONMYO FLARE (reviewing scrolls):
"They move like us, talk like us... but their presence is wrong."
KURO ŌKAMI (snarling):
"One of them looked like me. Only… smiling."
STARWAVE (pacing):
"If Mystique wants to divide us, she'll target whoever's weakest first."
Just then, an emergency flare sigil erupts over Shibuya Crossing.
📍 [Scene 2 – Shibuya Crossing, Chaos Unleashed]
A crowd flees in all directions. Screams. Shattered lights. On a massive digital billboard is a video looping:
"I AM RIKO. I AM THE TRUE STAR."
A distorted clone of Starwave — with glowing red eyes and malfunctioning kicks — is on stage mimicking her voice and blasting sonic waves.
Doppel-Starwave (echoing):
"I'm the version that doesn't hold back. No fans. No friends. Just power."
The real Starwave arrives.
STARWAVE:
"I've never needed to be the loudest to be heard."
They clash in a brutal battle of sonic tempo fields.
👠 [Scene 3 – Nekoburst Arrives]
From the rooftop of a streetwear shop, we see a blur.
⚡ Teleport burst. A shadow slams into the doppelgänger with a spark-crack heel kick, slicing through the mimic's audio core.
NEKOBURST (landing in a three-point pose, heels sparking):
"You're about three octaves off, faker."
Rika Nekomiya — NEKOBURST — enters the spotlight.
She spins, dodges a corrupted sonic wave, then uses her pointy combat heels to leap-spin and slam into the clone's chest.
Her claws spark mid-air, raking the mimic across the face before teleporting behind it.
STARWAVE (grinning):
"Well look who decided to crash the concert."
NEKOBURST:
"Tokyo's a mess. Figured someone should claw it back into shape."
💥 [Scene 4 – Double-Team Beatdown]
Nekoburst and Starwave fight together — a rhythm of kicks, claws, and counter-tempo bursts.
Starwave sets a tempo trap with her mic heels, while Nekoburst uses teleport bursts to bait the clone.
Final move: "Heel of Harmony" — Starwave kicks forward as Nekoburst teleports her mid-air into a strike zone, creating a perfect note-shatter impact.
Doppel-Starwave explodes into glass and sound shards.
🧵 [Scene 5 – Rooftop Recovery, Later That Night]
The Avengers regroup on a Tokyo rooftop. Nekoburst sits on the ledge, tail twitching, looking unimpressed.
SCARLET ONNA:
"You knew we were being hunted?"
NEKOBURST:
"I felt it. You think I need a scroll to sense fake energy?"
ONMYO FLARE:
"You're not memory-based. You're instinctual. Mystique can't predict your reactions."
KURO ŌKAMI (tilts head):
"You trust her?"
STARWAVE:
"I do. She saved my voice tonight."
NEKOBURST (grinning, fangs flashing):
"Don't get used to me. I'm not a team-player. Just hate when someone else wears bad shoes pretending they're me."
🌀 [Final Scene – Mystique's Den]
Mystique watches from the shadows.
She now has doppelgängers of every Avenger locked in a mirror chamber. Each is growing, feeding off trauma.
MYSTIQUE:
"They brought a wild card. No matter. Feral minds break all the same... eventually."
She smiles — and reveals a new mirror.
Inside it: Nekoburst's corrupted version, still forming.
