Opening Scene
Shibuya Crossing. Time has stopped. The crowd is frozen mid-step, raindrops hanging in the air. Aran (WD) and Mira stand back-to-back as a massive shadow beast towers before them — twice the size of the last.
WD (Aran):
"What is this thing? What's happening to the world? Tell me, Mira!"
Mira (breathing heavily):
"I'll explain later, I promise. But right now—help me... please, before I die!"
Mira's arm is wounded, blood dripping down her sleeve. Her energy is fading.
WD looks at her—hesitating for a moment. Then...
WD:
"Alright… but after this, I want answers."
Scene 1: Awakening the Dual Light
As the beast roars and lunges, WD raises his hand. The shadow blade begins to form like before——But this time, something is different.
The sword erupts with twin colors: blue and red light swirl together, forming a new blade — longer, sharper, glowing with energy from two worlds.
Mira (shocked):
"That sword… No way. You've awakened it already?!"
The blade pulses with power — the red representing his past life's fire, and the blue representing his new self's soul.
Scene 2: Battle in the Still World
WD charges, slicing through the beast's shadow arms with grace and fury.
Mira backs him up with agile, precise dagger strikes, moving like a seasoned assassin.
The beast roars and mutates — growing wings, lashing with its tail.
WD gets knocked back, crashes into a frozen streetlight. The impact cracks it in mid-air, but time remains frozen for everything else.
WD (panting):
"What are these things?! Why do they keep coming after me?!"
Mira (dodging attacks):
"They're called Inversions. Beings from the rift between life and death. They're hunting anything that doesn't belong in this world."
WD:
"You mean me…"
Mira:
"And others like you."
With a final combo, WD channels both light energies into the blade.
The blue and red swirl together, creating a powerful slash:
"Twin Light Slash!"
The beast is cut clean through, disintegrating into glowing fragments of darkness.
Time resumes. The crowd starts moving again, unaware of the fight that just occurred.
Scene 3: Aftermath and Revelation
Mira slumps against a wall, breathing hard. WD sits beside her, both exhausted.
WD:
"Now talk. No more dodging. What the hell is happening to me?"
Mira (softly):
"You were never supposed to be reborn in this world. You died centuries ago… as a Guardian of the Rift. You broke the cycle of souls. That's why they're hunting you."
WD:
"So I really am… from another life?"
Mira (nods):
"And your powers are only just beginning to awaken. That sword… is proof. You're one of us."
WD:
"Us?"
Mira:
"The Echoborn. Reincarnated souls with fragments of their past power. And the enemy knows we're gathering."
Ending Scene: Shadows on the Horizon
On a distant rooftop, members of The Singularity Order watch the fight replay through a projection.
Mysterious Figure (in shadow):
"The Twin Blade has awakened… The countdown begins."
