In June 1985, chaos erupts in the Texas Experiment Lab as a boy with mysterious powers escapes, opening a portal after being restrained by scientists.

At school, Mikk and Jessy are punished for a homework dispute, but strange events unfold as lights flicker and a portal opens, bringing the mysterious boy into their world. The episode ends with the boy fleeing and being confronted by an old man, setting the stage for further intrigue.

The old man grasping the kid's shoulder :- Where the fu*k are you leading to kid ?

Scene: Texas Public High School – After the Portal Incident

It was a day nobody in th Texas Public high school would ever forget.

The rumor spread faster than wildfire: a glowing round gateway, brighter than the sun, opened right in the hallway. A strange boy came out—frightened, dirty, and confused. Teachers whispered about it. Students peeked out of their classrooms. Some kids even cried, and others crowded the windows, hoping to get a look at the "portal boy."

Inside, Principal Royce held the trembling boy—about their age, with messy black hair—firmly by the arm. He pulled him down the noisy hall, past wide-eyed kids and stunned teachers, until they reached his wood-paneled office.

Principal Royce spoke firmly. "You're safe here, but we need some answers. What's your name, son?"

Episode 2 :- The Disappearance Of Ivan and Hazel.

The boy's eyes darted everywhere, still searching for a way out. Finally, in a soft voice, he said, "My name is Ivan Escobar."

The principal nodded and tried to sound calm, though even he was shaken. "Ivan, what just happened? How did you come through that… thing?"

Ivan looked away. His hands shook in his lap. "I… I can't tell you. Just… let me go, please."

Principal Royce frowned. "I'm not letting you go until I get some answers. You can sit here until you decide to tell me the truth."

Ivan pressed his lips together and stayed silent. He looked so lost that even the principal felt a bit sorry for him.

Meanwhile, chaos echoed down the halls. Teachers told students to quiet down. But the questions didn't stop.

Outside the Office – Hallway

Mikk and Jessy, still shocked, whispered as they crouched behind a locker. Their hearts pounded in their chests.

Mikk tried to make sense of it. "Jessy… did you see that? Was that really a… a portal? How can that be real?"

Jessy's eyes were wide. She hugged herself. "I… I don't know. It's like we're in a movie, not real life. I mean, who ever heard of a real portal opening in school, with some kid popping out?"

Mikk shook his head. "And who is that l guy? He looked so scared."

Jessy bit her lip. "Maybe he's from another world. Or… another time. You know, in movies, portals mean time travel or magic or monsters. But this is real."

Mikk looked down, spinning the dial on his watch nervously. "Yeah, but what if we're not dreaming? We saw the light. We saw him run…"

Jessy turned to him with an idea. "Let's sneak into the principal's office and see for ourselves. Maybe we can talk to Ivan."

Mikk was nervous. "What do you think , the principal's office is a garden where anyone can go and come out without any questions or without any purpose ?."

Jessy nudged him. "You got any better ideas, dumbass?"

Mikk grinned, a little confidence creeping back. "All right, we will say that teacher sent us to ask for something. If anyone asks, we pretend we're supposed to be there."

Jessy nodded and took his hand. Quiet as cats, they tiptoed toward the office.

Scene - Inside the Principal's Office

Ivan sat on the edge of his chair, glancing at the window as if he could jump right through it. The principal spoke into the phone, his back turned.

"Yes, officer," Principal Royce said. "It sounds crazy, but it happened. A boy—he says his name is Ivan Escobar—showed up out of a glowing portal. Please send someone from the police. You have to see this for yourself."

When principal was not seeing him , Ivan thought to run through the backside door of principal's cabin but suddenly Jessy and Mikk entered in the cabin .

The principal noticed both of them and barked at the kids, surprised to see them inside. "Hey! You two—stay here and keep an eye on Ivan, just in case."

So, Mikk and Jessy sat down, their eyes glued to Ivan.

Mikk leaned forward, voice gentle. "Ivan, are you okay? Can you tell us where you're from?"

Ivan said nothing, his fists balled up in his lap. Jessy tried too, "We're not going to hurt you. We just want to help."

But Ivan just stared at the floor.

Suddenly, Ivan bolted out of his chair and ran towards the backside door.

Mikk yelled, "He's running!" and Jessy shouted after him, but Ivan was fast.

They chased him down the hall, past startled students and yelling teachers.

The Chase – School Grounds

Mikk and Jessy dashed after Ivan. Out the side door, they saw their bikes leaning against the rail. They jumped on and pedaled after Ivan, who was sprinting across the playground like someone being chased by ghosts.

The school speakers buzzed. Principal Royce shouted over the microphone, his voice trembling, "Attention staff! The boy who entered from the portal—Ivan Escobar—has run from my office! All guards, please find him! Students and teachers, stay inside!"

Jessy glanced over, breathless, "Mikk, why is he running?"

Mikk panted, "Maybe he's scared. Maybe the police frighten him."

Jessy said, "Just pedal faster! We can't let him get away."

They moved out of the school gate. Ivan was running very fast . Suddenly , both of them saw two students coming from ahead of them . It didn't take them long to realise that they were no other than Justin and Hazel .

"Whoa, what's going on?" Justin called to them.

Suddenly, Ivan, gasping as he ran, turned to face them all. He stopped, looked desperate, then screamed—a raw, chilling sound that made everyone freeze.

Right then, a shimmering circle of light ripped open in the middle of the road—a swirling portal.

Jessy slammed on her brakes, mouth hanging open. "Are you seeing this, Mikk? Is that another portal?"

Mikk could barely breathe. "It's happening again… right in front of us."

Ivan did not wait. He dashed straight for the pulsing portal. Hazel, acting on pure instinct, reached out and grabbed Ivan's shirt.

"Ivan, wait!" she cried.

Ivan tried to shake her loose but Hazel clung tight. As Ivan's body entered the light, so did Hazel's hand—and then, in a rush of wind and blinding brightness, both of them disappeared.

Aftermath – Roadside with Jessy, Mikk, and Justin

Justin stumbled off his bike, eyes wide with panic.

"Hazel! Hazel, where are you?" he yelled into the emptiness.

Mikk shook, clutching the handlebars so tightly his knuckles went white. "She's gone, Justin. The portal… it took her!"

Jessy's voice cracked, "What are we going to tell her parents? She's just… gone. Vanished. It's my fault. We should have stopped her!"

Justin looked lost, almost about to cry. "Her bike even disappeared… what the hell? This shouldn't be happening."

Mikk tried to stay calm. "We can't panic. We'll tell everyone Hazel is staying at my house for a bit. No one will worry. In the meantime, we've gotta figure out where that portal led and how to bring her back."

Justin clapped a hand over his mouth, thinking hard. "We have to be smart about this. We can't just start yelling about portals. Nobody will believe us!"

Jessy nodded. "We need to stick together. If that portal can open once, it can open again… and maybe we can get Hazel back."

They stared at the spot where Hazel and Ivan had vanished, their hearts heavy but determined.

Scene: An Unknown Place

Hazel let go and fell in a heap onto hard, cold ground. She sat up, rubbing her eyes, blinking at the strange unknown place around her. There were tall gray trees, as still and silent as statues, and the air felt electric—like just before a big storm.

Ivan sat nearby, hugging his knees, looking more frightened now.

Hazel whispered, "Where are we, Ivan? What is this place?"

Ivan's lips trembled. "I… I don't know. I'm sorry.
