INT. TEMPLE CHAMBER – EARLY MORNING
A sacred chamber in the new village, high on the mountain. Shin-Ri sits cross-legged, eyes closed. The fragments of the Tonal Sword glow gently in front of him on a white cloth.
YUREI (softly):
It's time… May I?
SHIN-RI (calm):
I trust you.
Yurei kneels. As she raises her hand, the fragment inside Shin-Ri's chest begins to glow brighter—then a beam of light bursts from his chest like a shimmering string.
MAEN (watching, nervous):
Whoa… is that safe?
SHIN-RI (gritting teeth):
It's warm… but it's pulling something out of me.
The final fragment floats into the air. Yurei reaches forward and grasps the handle of the Tonal Sword.
YUREI:
This… is what my voice died for.
The fragments circle, align—and with a sudden chime of notes—the Tonal Sword forms. Silver. Elegant. Etched with glowing script like staves of music.
FLASH OF WHITE — A SINGLE NOTE IS SUNG
Yurei gasps. Her eyes widen.
YUREI:
…My voice… it's back.
She looks at Shin-Ri, overwhelmed.
YUREI (tearfully):
I thought it was gone forever.
SHIN-RI (smiling faintly):
Looks like the sword wanted to hear it again.
EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE — SUNRISE
The square fills with villagers, hearing rumors of the "girl with the song." The sun crests the mountains. Shin-Ri, Maen, and Sylden stand nearby, watching.
Yurei steps into the center of the plaza. The Tonal Sword is sheathed on her back. She breathes deeply, then begins to sing—no mic, just pure voice.
SONG: "ECHO OF BEGINNING" – YUREI
🎵
YUREI (singing):
🎤 Even when the skies turned red,
Even when the stars were dead,
I waited… for my sound to rise again…
🎤 Now I hold what once was lost,
Carved in fire, carved in cost—
I sing… not just to fight, but to forgive.
🎵
The crowd is stunned. Many cry. Some kneel. Even hardened warriors are silent.
VILLAGER:
Her voice… it's holy…
MAEN (smiling):
She did it.
SUDDENLY — A FAMILIAR VOICE
🎤 Ohhhhhh darling, not bad for a comeback!~ 🎵
Everyone turns—LYRICA stands on the rooftop of the tavern, dressed in her signature glowing attire. A new microphone forms in her palm. She jumps down like a diva landing on stage.
LYRICA (winking):
Mind if I remix the mood?
SONG: "FIREWORK FATE" – LYRICA
🎵
LYRICA (singing):
🎤 They want heroes, blades, and kings—
But I bring brighter, louder things!
I'm the flame that dances on their rules…
The girl who sings where silence drools…
🎤 So hush, hush now, don't look back—
I light your hearts and leave no cracks—
If the world's a stage… then I'm the show!
🎵
CROWD GOES WILD
VILLAGER #1:
She's back?!
VILLAGER #2:
We're getting a duet battle?!
MAEN (gagging):
She's seriously stealing the vibe!
SYLDEN (dancing):
🎵 Let the rhythm guide your strikes~🎵
NYARI (side-eyeing him):
You're such a weirdo.
SYLDEN (serious suddenly):
But the fight's real. Listen closely.
YUREI AND LYRICA – FACE TO FACE
YUREI (calm):
You knew about the sword… You planned this?
LYRICA:
Sweetheart, I don't plan. I perform.
YUREI:
You're not here to help, are you?
LYRICA (smiling):
I am helping. I'm making the world louder, brighter… sharper.
YUREI:
Then let's sing. One note for truth. One note for power.
DUEL BEGINS — LIGHT VS GLAM
Lyrica spins, pulling a red-and-pink sword from the air—The Pop Rock Sword—jagged, shining like a glass guitar pick.
Yurei unsheathes the Tonal Sword — silent, graceful, humming faintly.
FIGHT BEGINS
They rush toward each other—swords clashing in bursts of sound and light. As they strike, musical echoes burst around them.
SHIN-RI (watching):
Their voices… are weapons now.
MAEN:
This is insane. Are we supposed to… cheer?
SYLDEN (still dancing):
Cheer and duck.
INTENSE STRIKES
Lyrica sings notes that distort the air—Yurei counters with harmonics that shield her from the blast. Each slash is a beat. Each clash is a chorus.
LYRICA (shouting):
I'll write the world in my tempo!
YUREI (calmly):
But you can't silence what was meant to rise.
FINAL STRIKE BUILD-UP
They leap into the air, blades drawn. A flash of red. A flash of silver. They collide—
