Marvel: Tokyo Trinity

Chapter 2: EPISODE 2 – "The Sound Beneath the Mirror"



[INT. TOKYO SKYDOME – AFTER THE BATTLE]

The stadium is cordoned off with glowing sigil tape — barriers created by Airi. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in discreet suits arrive late, scanning drone debris.

AGENT 1 (whispering)

"More fragments marked with mystic tech. This ain't from our Earth…"

AGENT 2

"…Then whose tech is it?"

Mei stands at the center of the wreckage in her idol outfit, flipping her mic between her fingers.

MEI AINO

"You guys are always late. I already signed autographs and saved the crowd."

AGENT 2

"Ma'am, you shouldn't be involved in—"

MEI (smirking)

"Too late. I'm involved. We're involved."

[INT. MAGIC SHOP – SECRET BASE – NIGHT]

A narrow, creaky bookstore hides an underground shrine base. Magical lanterns flicker as the girls walk in.

Rika hops over the counter and tosses her shoes aside like a cat flopping into a chair.

RIKA NEKOMIYA

"Ugh. My tail's still tingling from that laser burst."

AIRI TSUKINO (sternly)

"You should be more careful. The rift almost tagged your core aura."

RIKA (glaring)

"You're not my mom, Spellnight."

MEI AINO

"Girls. Pause the catfight. What even was that MODOK thing? He wasn't normal."

Airi flips open her ancient grimoire. Pages turn on their own as sigils float up.

AIRI

"He was part-machine… but embedded with mirror runes. Old magic. Shattered realms. Not tech-native."

RIKA (serious for once)

"…You think someone's melding Marvel tech with Tokyo spirit realms?"

Airi doesn't answer. Her hand tightens around the page.

[INT. SHIBUYA CROSSWALK – NEXT DAY]

Mei walks in full disguise — hoodie, mask, glasses. Yet still somehow shines with idol aura.

PASSERBY (to friend)

"Was that Mei Aino?! No way… she wouldn't dress that grungy."

Mei mutters to herself, scanning rooftops.

MEI

"…Come on. If MODOK came from a rift, then where's the next crack?"

A sharp, low-frequency hum suddenly vibrates the ground. Glass ripples. Birds scatter. Mei gasps—

MEI (alarmed)

"That sound… it's like mine."

[INT. TOKYO SUBWAY – THAT MOMENT]

Airi sits quietly with a book in her lap, her school uniform neat. A charm pinned to her chest glows faintly.

Suddenly—an entire subway ad screen shatters. Everyone screams as sparks fly.

A reflection in the train's window glitches. Not Airi's face—

—but hers with inverted eyes.

AIRI (eyes widening)

"…A mirror curse."

[INT. ROOFTOP ABOVE HARAJUKU – SAME TIME]

Rika is crouched alone, watching city patrol drones scan the sky.

Her ears twitch. Her instincts flare. She spins—

A figure in a torn kimono phases through the air like fog. It has no face, only a warped mirror floating where its head should be.

RIKA (claws out)

"…Nope."

She lunges — claws slash the mirror — but it shatters into fog, leaving behind echoing whispers.

[INT. MAGIC SHOP – LATER THAT NIGHT]

The trio reconvenes. Tension is thick.

MEI

"You both felt it too, right?"

AIRI (quietly)

"The Mirrorborn. They shouldn't exist."

RIKA

"They're not even solid. More like… curses wearing skin."

Airi hesitates. Then opens a hidden scroll. Inside is an illustration — an ancient shrine with a giant cracked mirror. Black vines snake around it.

AIRI

"This shrine was sealed centuries ago. It lies beneath Tokyo… under the old district."

MEI

"And you're just now mentioning this?"

AIRI

"…I thought it was just a myth."

[INT. ANCIENT SHRINE ENTRANCE – ABANDONED STATION – LATER]

They descend through forgotten tunnels lit only by Airi's floating paper lanterns. Cracked mirrors line the walls.

Faint echoes. Faint sobbing. Their reflections lag behind their real movements.

[ACTION SEQUENCE – SHRINE HALL]

A sudden crack in the air — a rift opens!

Out steps a Mirrorborn Echo version of STARRHYTHM — with glass arms and soundwaves twisted into jagged frequencies.

MIRROR STARRHYTHM

"♪ Sing with me forever… in silence… ♪"

MEI AINO (recoiling)

"What… the hell?"

The Mirror doppelgänger kicks off the wall — sound shatters pillars. Mei jumps into battle stance, activating her true form.

🌟 TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE – STARRHYTHM 🌟

Pink notes burst from her heels. Hair flares. Her boots glow. Sonic rings circle her as her outfit transforms into battle idol form.

[BATTLE SKIT – TRINITY VS. MIRROR STARRHYTHM]

Mei clashes heel-to-heel, each stomp releasing rhythm waves.

Airi casts "Reversal Seal: Shatter Glyph!" — glyphs try to freeze the mirror form but it reflects them back.

Rika appears in a blur, clawing into the doppelgänger's back, but it reforms.

RIKA (snarling)

"She's cheating. I don't even bend like that!"

MEI (sweating)

"She's using my own rhythm against me!"

Airi's eyes narrow.

AIRI

"Then don't follow your rhythm—disrupt it."

🌸 FINAL ATTACK SEQUENCE – "CHAOS ECHO BLOOM" 🌸

Mei begins dancing off-beat, stomping at irregular intervals.

Rika dashes in zig-zags, blurring wildly.

Airi casts: "Sigil Twist: Echo Mirror Crack!"

The mirror version can't synchronize—cracks appear. The trio leaps simultaneously—

ALL THREE

"TRINITY BREAK!"

They slam into the echo. The mirror shatters, scattering into glimmering petals of light.

[AFTERMATH – SHRINE]

The shrine rift seals again, but the girls know something's changed.

MEI (panting)

"…That wasn't a villain. That was me."

AIRI

"No. That was a reflection of fear, drawn from you. These mirror rifts are learning."

RIKA (tense)

"…So the next time, they might not copy. They might create something worse."

[POST-CREDIT SCENE – UNKNOWN DIMENSION]

A woman cloaked in black kneels in front of the giant cracked mirror. Her hand caresses the broken surface.

???:

"Ah, Trinity Bloom… your souls shimmer so bright in the dark. Let's see how long you can stay whole."

The mirror hums — showing their true reflections… trembling, crying, breaking. Then it fades to black.
