INT. STOLEN TRANSPORT - NIGHT
The episode begins with the quiet, emotional scene between KAELEN and JULIAN. She acknowledges his sacrifice, and the bond of the team is reforged in their shared trauma. They are not heroes riding to victory; they are survivors heading into one last, desperate fight.
EXT. PROMETHEUS SITE - NIGHT
They arrive at the storm-lashed particle accelerator. The team infiltrates the complex, moving as a single, determined unit. This is not about stopping Malakor's grand plan anymore; it's about getting Inez back and surviving.
INT. CORE CHAMBER - NIGHT
They find MALAKOR in the core chamber. The Prometheus Engine is at the center of the room, a terrifying device of spinning rings that hums with an unstable, reality-warping energy. INEZ REYES is strapped into a console connected to it, her mind being used as a living key.
The Dark Fight: The fight is not a simple one-on-one duel. It's the entire team against Malakor, who uses the unstable Prometheus Engine as his weapon.
•He doesn't just shoot at them. He grabs a control panel, and a section of the floor momentarily de-ages into molten metal, forcing Julian to leap away.
•He twists a dial, and the air around Kenji's laptop becomes a temporal vortex, corrupting his attempts to hack the system.
•The fight is chaotic and desperate. The team is outmatched by an enemy who is literally bending the battlefield around them.
Malakor gains the upper hand. He uses the engine to trap Julian's leg under a piece of warped, heavy machinery. He walks calmly towards the trapped soldier, his own futuristic weapon aimed to deliver the final blow. Aris and Kenji are pinned down, unable to help.
New Power Unlock (The Uncontrolled Burst): Watching Julian about to die, something inside Kaelen breaks. It is not a conscious decision. It is a primal, instinctual scream of her soul.
Her eyes blaze with a blinding violet light. A wave of pure, untamed temporal energy erupts from her body. It is not a focused "spell"; it is a raw, uncontrolled explosion.
•The world goes silent.
•Every light in the chamber shatters.
•The Prometheus Engine shrieks and then dies, its rings grinding to a halt.
•Malakor is thrown violently across the room.
•The team, including Julian, is knocked unconscious by the psychic backlash.
•Kaelen collapses, her body spent.
The Aftermath (No Full Stop): Kaelen wakes up hours later. The chamber is dark, lit only by emergency strobes. Aris is helping a groggy Julian, whose leg is now free. Kenji is trying to get a system back online.
Kaelen tries to remember the fight, but there's a gap. She remembers Julian being trapped, the overwhelming fear, and then... nothing. The memory of her power burst is gone. She doesn't remember the new power at all.
They look around. Malakor is gone. Inez Reyes is also gone. He escaped in the chaos, taking his prize with him. They haven't won. They haven't lost. They have simply survived. The story is not over.
The Mysterious End (The Final Scene):
A FEW DAYS LATER.
The final scene cuts to a completely new location. It is a dark, cell-like room, constructed from a strange, obsidian-like material that seems to absorb the light. There are no windows, no doors.
In the center of the room sits KIAN. He is calm, his expression unreadable. His hands are bound before him, not by metal, but by chains made of shimmering, golden light that seem to be humming with a strange energy, as if actively suppressing a great power.
The camera slowly pushes in on his face. He looks up, his intense, dark eyes staring directly into the camera, as if he can see the audience watching him. He doesn't look like a prisoner in despair. He looks like a god in waiting.
A single, metallic footstep echoes in the darkness off-screen. Kian's eyes shift slightly, acknowledging the presence of his unseen jailer.
FADE TO BLACK.
