[OPENING SCENE – SKYVAULT CITY, NIGHTFALL]
Sirens wail across Sector 4. Flames climb the spires of the shopping district. The Savage Bratz have struck again — but this time, the attack is larger, louder, and bloodier. Civilians scatter, screaming. Drones shatter in the air. Explosions bloom like corrupted fireworks.
Jax (over comms):
"Big one tonight. Real big."
Yuna (calmly):
"Splitting up is suicide. We stay as one."
Kael:
"Gear up, Vanguards. We end this fast."
[SCENE – BRATZ STRIKE FORCE]
At the heart of the chaos, Krakk himself leads a crew of elite lieutenants. They tear through buildings, planting Rift explosives. Toxyn swings her chain-blade into walls, laughing wildly.
Krakk:
"They think they can stop the fire with petals and wires? Let's give 'em a message."
He slams a Rift Fang into the ground — energy pulsing outward, disrupting local gravity.
[SCENE – VANGUARDS DROP IN]
From the sky, streaks of energy fall — the Vanguards descend. Each lands in their specialized stance.
Kael lands in flames, Inferblade igniting with a roar.
Yuna lands gently, vines blossoming around civilians to guide them to safety.
Jax hits the ground running, fists pulsing with sound.
Echo-7 digitizes midair, sliding into control panels.
Tari drops to a rooftop, scope already locking.
Veya spins midair and lands guns-up, sliding beside Irion, who had already been waiting.
Veya (smirking):
"Late to the party?"
Irion (grim):
"I set the table."
[FULL-SCALE BATTLE ERUPTS]
Explosions. Blasts. Powers flare. Sound meets crystal. Fire meets toxin. The streets of SkyVault become a battlefield.
Tari (sniping):
"Watch your left, Kael."
Her rail-shot vaporizes a Brat aiming a crystal cannon.
Kael (advancing):
"Good eyes. Push forward!"
Jax (to Echo):
"Shut down their comms!"
Echo-7 (glitching):
"Already in. Spiking their panic feed!"
Bratz helmets screech with chaos as Echo hacks their frequencies.
Krakk (howling):
"Hold your ground! The Vanguards bleed tonight!"
He charges Kael, blade to blade — their powers clash in a geyser of plasma and crystal.
[MID-BATTLE – IRION VS TOXYN]
Toxyn launches at Irion with her chain-blade whirring.
Toxyn:
"Didn't expect a pretty boy with a deathwish."
Irion (catching blade):
"I'm full of surprises."
He channels force into her chain and yanks it, sending her flying into a wall. She snarls and throws a gas bomb. Irion covers his face with a scarf and vanishes into smoke.
[SCENE – VEYA'S DUAL WIELD DANCE]
Veya spins through an alley, dual pistols flashing. Her targets fall before they even realize she's fired.
Brat:
"Who is she?!"
Veya (grinning):
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
She slides beneath a burning hovercar, pops up behind a Brat, and drops him with a kick to the neck.
[KAEL VS KRAKK – ROUND TWO]
Kael and Krakk trade devastating blows. Inferblade carves through walls. Krakk's gauntlets shatter stone. Their fight drags into the lower district — collapsing shops, sending sparks everywhere.
Krakk:
"Tell me, fire boy — you ever watch your city BURN from the inside out?"
Kael (through gritted teeth):
"I've watched friends die. That's enough."
He ignites in golden flames — striking Krakk with a moral-fueled burn that sears his shoulder.
Krakk (reeling):
"You're not strong enough to stop what's coming."
Kael:
"Then I'll burn until nothing's left."
[CLIMAX – NULLBORN ENERGY STIRS]
Mid-fight, the Rift Fang on Krakk's belt flares.
Yuna (shouting):
"Kael, something's wrong—!"
A low hum cuts through the sky. For a second, the clouds above twist. Everyone looks up.
And they feel it. A pulse of Mother Null's aura — distant, cold, watching.
Krakk (backing off):
"No. No. Not now."
He signals a retreat.
Krakk (to his lieutenants):
"Fall back! All of you! This fight's cursed!"
Toxyn:
"We almost had them!"
Krakk:
"She's looking. Nullborn's awake."
[AFTERMATH – CITY QUIET]
Smoke settles. The Vanguards regroup, wounded but alive. Kael limps slightly. Veya reloads in silence. Irion sits against a wall, exhausted.
Echo-7:
"They were trying to destroy Sector 4's energy lines. But the attack was sloppy."
Yuna:
"Because they weren't trying to win."
Kael:
"They were stalling."
Camera pans up — a faint red glow lingers in the sky.
[POST-CREDIT SCENE – CINDER STRAIN VAULT]
Drayven stands in silence. Nullborn's fractured crystal heart levitates before him.
Drayven:
"She grows impatient."
He turns to the shadows behind him.
Drayven:
"Let her test them again. Let their fire burn bright... before she snuffs it out."
