[Scene 1 – Jungle Trail | Morning Mist]
Sunlight filters faintly through heavy morning mist. Kris, Zagan, and Jessica tread carefully through the jungle. They're still stiff from training.
Kris:
"Still feels like somebody's watching over us…"
Jessica:
It's been like that since last night.
Zagan:
(Strictly)
It hasn't stopped. Someone's here. Close.
---
[Suddenly—BOOM!]
A colossal dark explosion breaks apart the fog. Trees splinter. The shockwave puts the three on the ground.
From the smoke emerges a figure: tall, black armor, red eyes burning—Zascare, Cromos Commander.
Zascare:
"Found you."
Kris:
(gritting his teeth)
"Zascare—! How did he find us?!"
Zascare:
(smirking)
"You really thought you were hidden? You three reek of potential… and weakness."

⚔️ [Scene 2 – Battle Begins]
Kris rushes wildly, sword glowing with aura, but Zascare stops him with a single finger. Zascare knocks Kris across the field, and Kris crashes into a boulder.
Jessica:
"Kris!"
She throws a healing ward—but Zascare cuts through it like paper, and knocks her across the clearing into a tree.
Zagan releases his red-purple aura and charges, whirling knives—but Zascare's shadow spear strikes Zagan's side and sends him crashing to the ground.
Zascare:
"Underwhelming. This is Solareth's next generation?"
He brings his spear up over Zagan's chest.

[Scene 3 – Vinam Appears]
A piercing, resonant voice slices through the tension.
???
"Step aside."
A blinding blue-red flash lights the sky like a lightning bolt. An energy bolt strikes the spear—shattering it into black splinters.
Kris, barely conscious, blinks. A cloaked figure stands between them and Zascare. Wind howls. The jungle bends under the pressure.
His hair is black. His eyes glow faintly. On his back—a gigantic sword glows, one half blue like heavenly light, the other crimson-red: The Blooming Destroyer.
---
Zascare:
(staggering backward)
".No. No way. You—You're supposed to be dead."
Vinam:
(whispering)
"You say that like it matters."
Zascare:
(calling shadows to him)
"Ruinbloom and Heavenbloom, cursed sword… It's you—Vinam."
---
???? [Scene 4 – Vinam vs Zascare]
Zascare attacks with a flurry of shadow spikes—but Vinam strides right through them. His cloak tears in the blasts, but he doesn't even blink. He pulls out his sword.
He swings once—blue energy destroys the entire jungle row behind Zascare.
Kris:
(panting)
"Did… he just cut the wind?"
Vinam leaps, spinning in midair, Heavenbloom radiating—he strikes Zascare in the chest and slams him into the earth, making a crater.
Zascare's armor breaks. He spits blood.
---
Zascare:
(frightened)
This power… you shouldn't exist.
Vinam:
"I'm not here to exist. I'm here to erase you."
He brings the blade up again, Ruinbloom softly aglow—
Zascare:
(shouting)
"CROMOS WILL REMEMBER THIS!"
He disappears in black smoke. Retreats.
---
[Scene 5 – Aftermath]
Kris groans as he sits up. Jessica crawls over to Zagan, healing him.
Jessica:
"I thought that we were going to die…"
Zagan:
(looking at Vinam)
.Who is that man?
Vinam spins, silent. The light of the Blooming Destroyer slowly fades. His expression is not one of pride—only exhaustion and stern purpose.
Kris: (struggling to stand) You saved us. Why?
Vinam: (whispering) ".Because you still have a chance to live. Unlike the others."
He steps back and heads down a concealed path.
Vinam: "If you want to live. come with me."

[Scene 6 – Fade Out] The three stand abreast of each other. Silently, they rise and follow the mysterious swordsman into the mist. Far above, the sky rumbles. The blade on Vinam's back pulses faintly—both sides glowing in conflict.
