⚔️ Scene 1: Flashes of Fury

The screen flickers—Decaulion and Hugo clash in bursts of shadow and fang. Each strike echoes like thunder. Hugo's claws rip through illusions. Decaulion counters with Technique 3: Mirror Fade, vanishing and reappearing behind Hugo with a blade of condensed shadow.

Cut to: Dean and Nathan, locked in a brutal brawl. Blood splashes across temple walls. Dean's holy flames scorch Nathan's chest.

> Nathan: "AHHHH F*!!!"

He collapses, screaming, his body marked with glowing scars.

🔥 Scene 2: Dante's Vision

At the Rossetti House, Dante sleeps uneasily. Flames flicker across his dreamscape. He stands in a temple—pillars melting, fire raining from the ceiling.

> Dante: "No… not again…"

His body ignites. He screams, writhing in agony—then jolts awake, drenched in sweat, eyes wide.

> Dante (whispers): "The fire… it's coming."

🐺 Scene 3: Lycan Investigation

Sasha, Haruto, and Kol investigate recent Lycan sightings. They find claw marks on trees, shredded fur, and a trail of blood leading to a sewer grate.

Haruto excuses himself to the bathroom.

Kol turns to Sasha.

> Kol: "I almost killed you under the Black Moon… I'm sorry."

> Sasha: "I'm sorry too."

They kiss—soft, hesitant, then passionate.

Haruto watches from the cracked door, heart sinking. He stays silent, eyes dim.

🩸 Scene 4: Hotel Horror

In a dim hotel hallway, Beatrice walks cautiously. A woman mutters to herself, twitching.

Suddenly, the woman shoves Beatrice. Her skin peels away—revealing a grotesque Skinwalker.

Beatrice screams.

From the shadows, Zane Farwahand, 16, bandage on his forehead, steps forward.

> Zane: "Back off."

The Skinwalker lunges. Zane smacks it down, stomping its head repeatedly.

He removes his bandage—a glowing Third Eye opens.

The Skinwalker stares into it—and explodes in a burst of blood and bone.

Beatrice sobs. Zane re-wraps his forehead.

> Zane: "It's not what ya think."

> "The Moon is Black again. The eclipse cycle has returned. Two weeks of darkness begin tonight."

Lancelot's eyes widen.

> Lancelot: "We're not ready…"

Suddenly, the book bleeds ink. A prophecy appears:

> "When the Third Eye opens, the world will bleed."
