Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

💫 "Love is war. But war with your heart? That's the deadliest kind."

Previously on Tokyo Avengers

After defeating Mr. Sinister, Tokyo breathes — but barely.

As rogue DNA pulses beneath the surface, new hearts beat louder.

Starwave's admiration for Heartlight begins to transform… but with the arrival of Xylo, a sharp, calm brawler with a tragic past and slicing energy hands, something inside her stirs differently.

One heart is glowing. The other? Slicing into hers.

🎴 [ACT I — Star-Crossed Heartbeats]

Scene: Tokyo Avengers Base Courtyard – Morning

Sunlight spills over the mossy rooftop where Starwave stretches her legs on the edge of the ledge, headphones in.

Her music is off.

She's just pretending — lost in thought.

From below: heavy slicing shink! sounds cut through the wind.

Xylo trains alone — striking the air, his hand-generated blades humming with radiant energy.

Every movement is fluid. Deadly. Gorgeous.

She watches him closely.

STARWAVE (to herself):

"He doesn't show off. He doesn't try. He just… is."

Suddenly—

XYLO (without turning):

"You watching or judging?"

She's caught.

He looks over his shoulder with a calm grin.

STARWAVE (standing):

"Observing. You've got clean form."

XYLO:

"And you've got… curious eyes."

They lock gazes. Her cheeks heat — just slightly.

💘 [ACT II — Heartlight's Confession]

Scene: Cherry blossom trail behind the base – Afternoon

Heartlight walks beside Scarlet Onna, quiet.

He's usually radiant — today, he's… dim.

SCARLET ONNA (softly):

"You feel it too."

HEARTLIGHT (nods):

"She's drifting."

SCARLET ONNA:

"Love isn't always loud. Sometimes, it's just a presence… lost before you noticed it was leaving."

Heartlight stares up at the blossoms, eyes melancholy.

Later, he finds Starwave alone on the roof again.

HEARTLIGHT:

"I made you something."

He holds out a small glowing pendant — shaped like a crescent note with wings. A pulse charm he crafted from his core energy.

HEARTLIGHT (soft):

"It… beats in sync with mine. If you're ever in danger… or lost… or just want to hear me."

She holds it in her hand, surprised.

STARWAVE (quietly):

"Heart…"

HEARTLIGHT (cutting in):

"I know you feel something for him. But I need you to know: my light doesn't dim when you look away. It stays — for you."

He walks off without another word.

She clutches the pendant tightly.

⚔️ [ACT III — Rogue Tech Attack]

Scene: Akihabara District – Night

Suddenly, chaos erupts — the entire electronics district blacks out.

Screams rise as humanoid drones burst through screens, emitting corrupted A.I. echoes.

Sinister may be gone — but his digital remnants remain.

Onmyo Flare, Nekoburst, and Kuro Ōkami respond immediately — but their attacks pass through the data phantoms.

KURO (gritting teeth):

"It's like they're not even there…"

NEKOBURST (furious):

"Try saying that after I claw their processors out!"

The situation spirals — until Xylo and Starwave arrive.

Xylo analyzes the movements. His slicing power cuts only when timed with their flicker.

XYLO:

"They sync with the power surges. Strike on the pulse."

STARWAVE:

"Then let me give you a beat."

She leaps into the air — her sonic heels slam the ground in perfect tempo, setting a pulse field.

Xylo slashes with it — a dance of vibration and destruction.

ONMYO FLARE (watching):

"Their synergy… it's terrifyingly good."

Rogue tech crumbles around them.

🌌 [ACT IV — Starlight Shift]

Later that night, the Avengers rest by the neon-lit pond behind the base.

Starwave sits alone, legs dangling, staring at the water.

Xylo approaches and sits beside her — shirt slightly torn from battle.

XYLO:

"You were incredible."

STARWAVE (smiling):

"You weren't too bad yourself."

They sit in silence.

XYLO:

"People like us… we don't find peace often. But maybe, fighting beside you… I found something close."

She glances sideways, heart pounding.

STARWAVE:

"I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now."

XYLO:

"It's okay. I'll wait until you are."

He stands, walking away — but not before brushing her hand softly.

🌠 [POST-CREDIT SCENE]

Heartlight stands on the rooftop alone, pendant flickering in sync with Starwave's heartbeat below.

He watches her silhouette below — Xylo now beside her.

HEARTLIGHT (whisper):

"As long as she shines… I'll stay her light. Even if it's from afar."
