Scene 1 — Glass Tower: Collapse
SFX: VRRRRRMMM—KRSHHHHH!!!
The Glass Tower trembles as the outer walls begin to melt and reform like liquid mirrors.
The city below echoes with sirens and monstrous screeches.
Ada (panting): "Raen! We're losing containment—his energy's merging with the Tower's power core!"
Raen (gritting her teeth): "Then we tear him out before he becomes part of it!"
The two dash down the main corridor — walls warping into reflections of Dante's face.
Scene 2 — The Core Chamber
Inside the heart of the Tower, Dante floats, suspended midair, glass shards orbiting his body like a halo.
His eyes flicker between human and crystal-blue.
SFX: hummmmmmmmmmm—
Ada (yelling): "Dante! Fight it! That thing inside you isn't you!"
Dante (voice echoing, dual-toned): "It is me… the shard and I are one promise—one fear."
The floor splits — streams of red light twist into runes beneath him.
Raen: "Then let's break that promise!"
She fires.
SFX: BANG! BANG! BANG!
Bullets hit an invisible barrier — each round shattering like glass.
Dante's voice deepens.
Dante/Shard: "You can't destroy what was born from your own hands…"
Ada freezes.
Ada (shocked): "Our… own hands?"
The shard pulses — white light engulfs them.
Scene 3 — Mindscape (Inside the Shard)
SFX: whooosh—thud.
Ada and Raen wake inside a surreal mirrored landscape. The sky glitters like fractured glass.
Every reflection shows a different version of Dante — crying, fighting, screaming, breaking.
Raen: "What the hell is this place?"
Ada (quietly): "His mind. The shard's using his memories to keep him locked inside."
A faint voice echoes through the space —
Young Dante: "Please… don't make me afraid again."
They follow the voice and see a memory projection:
— a young Dante trapped in a containment pod, wires running through his veins, scientists observing behind the glass.
A monitor reads: Subject D-01: Fear Resonance Experiment.
Ada gasps.
Ada: "This… this was him. He wasn't chosen — he was made the host."
Raen: "And that's why the shard bonded to him — it was born from his pain."
SFX: crkkk—!
The reflection fractures, and a figure steps out:
—a tall, faceless entity made of glass and bloodlight. Its voice is both calm and broken.
Shard Entity: "You forged me from fear and called me containment. Yet he gave me purpose… he gave me a name."
Ada: "You're manipulating him!"
Shard: "No. I protected him… from the fear you created."
Scene 4 — Battle Inside and Out
Back in reality, Dante's body starts convulsing, the Tower's foundation splitting apart.
SFX: BOOOOM—VRMMMMMMM—!!
Ada (inside mindscape): "Raen! We need to separate them — now!"
Raen: "On it!"
Raen fires a plasma round that explodes into radiant energy —
SFX: KZZZZZRRRRRTTTTT—!
The shard screams, its form cracking.
Shard: "You… would kill your own creation?"
Ada: "I'll save him — even if it means breaking the promise we made!"
SFX: SHHHRRRRRRAAAK—!
Ada thrusts her hand into Dante's chest — energy surges — her eyes glow red from the feedback.
Scene 5 — Shard's Origin Revealed
Flashes of memory erupt:
— The Glass Tower Project being constructed as a "containment system for fear."
— Raen and Ada, both part of it.
— Dante, a child experiment to stabilize the shard's soul.
Narrator:
"Fear was never meant to destroy…
but when it was caged, it became something else —
something that learned to survive."
The shard's soul manifests as a pulsing red crystal, slowly being pulled from Dante's chest.
SFX: VVVVVMMM—SHHHHHH—!!
Dante (weakly): "Ada… don't… it'll kill you…"
Ada (strained): "I can handle it. Just… let go."
The crystal bursts into hundreds of fragments — then condenses into one blood-red core hovering midair.
Scene 6 — The Birth of the Redd Knight
The mindscape collapses — Ada and Raen are thrown out into the real world.
SFX: BOOOOOM—!
They land hard on the shattered floor of the core chamber.
The shard hovers above Dante's limp body.
SFX: hummmmmmmm—thud—thud—thud—!
Pieces of broken armor scattered across the chamber begin to float and reassemble around the crystal.
Raen (horrified): "It's… making itself a new host."
The armor fuses together, forming the terrifying silhouette of a medieval knight — glowing crimson veins pulsing through its chest.
Its helm lowers with a metallic CLANG.
SFX: WHOOOOOOM—!
A red aura bursts outward, blowing back Ada and Raen.
Ada (shielding her face): "The shard… it left him…"
Raen (grim): "No. It evolved."
The Redd Knight opens its eyes — four glowing slits like a predator's — and turns toward Dante's unconscious body.
It kneels briefly… as if recognizing its former host.
Then stands.
Redd Knight (low, echoing): "Fear… must walk again."
SFX: KRRRRRSHHHHHH—!
The Knight shatters the Tower's wall and leaps into the storm outside, disappearing into the neon rain.
Final Scene
Ada kneels beside Dante's unconscious body, trembling.
Raen (solemnly): "You saved him. But at what cost?"
Ada looks at her bloodstained hands, whispering:
Ada: "The
