Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: "First Encounter"

[TEASER – OPENING SCENE]

EXT. ORION CITY – NIGHT

A quiet night sky ripples unnaturally. One by one, five streaks of light pierce the atmosphere—each a glowing shard, pulsing with energy.

NARRATOR (V.O.)

The stars have always watched us.But now… they've chosen us.

[ACT ONE – NORMAL DAY, STRANGE SIGNS]

INT. ORION CITY HIGH – VARIOUS LOCATIONS

Kael gets in trouble for accidentally starting a fire during gym.

Zayn builds a drone in the robotics lab; a weird frequency interferes with its controls.

Rayna wins a chess match, but pauses—she just had a strange vision mid-game.

Lyra photographs a comet from the art wing's roof; she captures a flash of pink light no one else sees.

Jett skips class on the roof. The sky ripples. He mutters, "Okay, that's new."

[ACT TWO – THE GATHERING]

All five teens are independently drawn to the abandoned observatory behind the school.

The building opens mysteriously.

Inside: strange glyphs glow, machines power up, and five radiant shards hover midair.

ZEVOR (AI, VOICE ONLY)

You have been chosen. Not as soldiers.As Sentinels of the Nova Force.

Each teen reaches for a shard. It flares with color and bonds to them—marking them as the Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Black Sentinels.

Suddenly—

ALARM BLARES from Zayn's drone. Something massive is coming from the school dumpster area.

[ACT THREE – MONSTER ATTACK]

EXT. SCHOOL COURTYARD – NIGHT

A clanking, lumbering creature forms from discarded electronics. Vending machines. Wires. Old monitors.

ZEVOR

Designation: SCRAVLOK. Junkbeast-class Void Spawn.Threat level: Low—but unstable.

KAEL

Let's see what this Nova Force can really do.

The teens awkwardly try to fight. Their powers trigger—awkwardly at first. They stumble, misfire, and argue.

Zayn figures out Scravlok gets stronger by absorbing electronics.

Rayna spots a weak point in its movement pattern.

Lyra draws it into a trap with light and music.

Jett sneaks in and disables its magnetic core.

Kael leads the charge and delivers the final strike.

[ACT FOUR – AFTERMATH]

EXT. OBSERVATORY – LATER THAT NIGHT

The teens return, stunned, messy, and bonded by battle. Zevor awaits.

ZEVOR

You are the Nova Sentinels. You have taken your first step.The Void Dominion is watching. And it will return.

They look at each other—some scared, some thrilled, some still in disbelief.

KAEL

So… we're space warriors now?JETTCosmic superheroes with school at 8 AM. Perfect.

Cue team stare-up at the stars, dramatic music swelling.

[EPILOGUE – CUTAWAY SCENE]

INT. VOID REALM – DARK THRONE ROOM

Shadowy figures observe the battle on strange monitors. One speaks.

VOID GENERAL (V.O.)

The shards have awakened.Send in the next one.

EYES GLOW IN THE DARK.
