Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

Chapter 29: EPISODE 29: “Split Reflections”



🪞 "When you run from your past, sometimes it grows claws."

🌀 [Scene 1 – Break Academy, Midnight Alarm]

The lights flicker red across Break Academy's control hall.

An emergency glyph pulses across the floor — a Mirror Distortion Pulse. The security system detects four unstable resonance signals inside the city — fragments of the team themselves.

SCARLET ONNA (reviewing threads):

"These aren't clones. They're broken identities, unfinished echoes… crafted from everything we repress."

KURO ŌKAMI (low growl):

"They're hunting us. Shadows born from our instincts."

ONMYO FLARE:

"Mystique is mimicking our worst… but she can't stabilize them. They're feral."

The team splits up across Tokyo — each member goes alone to face their own twisted self.

🩸 [Scene 2 – Kuro Ōkami vs. Mirror Kuro: The Moon Beast]

Kuro arrives at a shattered moonlit shrine.

The stone lanterns are clawed apart. His old training collar hangs from a tree.

From the shrine gates emerges Mirror Kuro — a savage, half-beast version of himself with spiraled horns, reverse-colored fur, and glowing red crescent scars. He walks on all fours, teeth bared.

MIRROR KURO:

"You still cage the howl. I let it devour me."

KURO ŌKAMI:

"I mastered it. You became it."

Fight begins:

Mirror Kuro dashes with pure beast velocity, slamming Kuro through trees.

Kuro uses calculated backflips, deflects with claw parries.

The fight becomes airborne under moonlight, claws sparking mid-leap.

MIRROR KURO (snarling):

"You're weaker because you care."

KURO (countering):

"I'm stronger because I choose who to protect."

He ends it with a Moon Fang Cross Slash, striking down Mirror Kuro in a burst of blue crescent light.

🧵 [Scene 3 – Scarlet Onna vs. Echo Onna: The Tangled Thread]

Sayo walks into a fog-laced kimono market — abandoned, woven with tangled red threads.

At the center: Echo Onna, a version of her younger self wearing a scorched ceremonial robe, eyes stitched shut, surrounded by ghostly thread puppets.

ECHO ONNA (smiling):

"You always feared becoming the weapon. So you made yourself useful. Predictable. Controlled."

SCARLET ONNA (calm):

"I studied to protect. Not to perform."

The puppets attack — silk blades, snapping threads.

Sayo parries with Needles of the Bloom, carving precise counterspells mid-air.

Fight moment:

Echo Onna wraps her in a memory-web, forcing her to relive being abandoned during her shrine training.

Scarlet Onna snaps all the threads with a single charm burn — her hands blistering.

SCARLET ONNA:

"I am no one's puppet. I stitch my own fate."

She seals Echo Onna inside a scarlet orb and dissolves her shadow self.

⚔️ [Scene 4 – Onmyo Flare vs. Ghost Flare: The Broken Spell]

Renji steps into a haunted corridor lined with cracked ofuda talismans.

At the center: Ghost Flare, a version of himself with burned scrolls fused to his arms, his face masked, no voice — just glyphs floating around him in rejection.

He attacks with erratic elemental bursts — lava kanji, flood kanji, void glyphs.

Renji deflects, but the chaos symbols begin tearing reality nearby.

ONMYO FLARE:

"This is what I'd become if I lost my balance… if I cast for power without control."

He centers himself and draws one kanji: 清 — pure.

The entire room stabilizes. He casts a Zero Flame Strike that seals Ghost Flare's form into a harmless scroll.

ONMYO FLARE:

"You're not my failure. Just a warning."

🎵 [Scene 5 – Starwave vs. Mirrorwave: The Hollow Beat]

Inside a soundless club, Riko meets Mirrorwave — a version of her draped in crystal, her eyes hollow, stomping the ground… but making no sound.

MIRRORWAVE (monotone):

"Without real feeling, you're just noise."

STARWAVE:

"I perform with truth. You echo with emptiness."

Fight begins:

Starwave unleashes tempo shockwaves from rapid heel stomps.

Mirrorwave absorbs tempo and reflects distortion waves — twisted versions of Starwave's own techniques.

Starwave charges forward, heel igniting:

STARWAVE:

"You can copy the kick — not the soul."

She hits her Signature Tempo Reverb Kick, blowing Mirrorwave into shards of silence.

🪞 [Scene 6 – Back at Break Academy: Shadows Fall, But One Remains]

All four return.

They're battered, but victorious.

NEKOBURST (arms crossed):

"No version of me? Guess I'm just perfect."

Suddenly… the alarms go off again.

The screen blinks:

"RESIDUAL SIGNAL DETECTED – CODE: KURO"

But Kuro's already back.

They descend into the null-cellar — the sublevel of Break Academy.

And there they find it…

The last echo: an incomplete beast — hunched, skeletal, stitched together with fangs and fury.

It's not a copy of Kuro…

…it's the sum of all their instincts.

SCARLET ONNA (wide-eyed):

"This isn't one of us. This is all of us — compressed."

It attacks.

🐺 [Scene 7 – Team Battle: All Against One]

They fight together:

Scarlet Onna binds it in spiritual thread rings.

Starwave keeps the tempo field going, rattling its footing.

Onmyo Flare drops a purifying barrier with unmarked kanji.

Kuro delivers the finishing blow — his eyes glowing blue with full beast power.

He doesn't slash it.

He embraces it.

KURO ŌKAMI (softly):

"I hear you now. But I'm not letting you lead."

The beast dissolves into silver mist.

🌌 [Scene 8 – A Still Tokyo… For Now]

Back upstairs, silence settles.

The echoes are gone.

But something deeper has started to shift.

Scarlet Onna glances at a nearby flower vase. The petals are glitching.

Starwave steps into the locker room… and pauses.

A faint, hollow breeze blows out of one locker — the one with no name.

STARWAVE (whispering):

"Why does this feel like a goodbye… to someone I never met?"

🎴 [END CARD – TOKYO AVENGERS]
