[The rain poured heavily on the rooftop, creating a symphony of drops hitting the concrete. A mysterious man, disguised in black cloth, moved swiftly, engaging in combat with two attackers. The night was dark, and the rain made visibility poor, but the man's skills were evident.]
Attacker 1: (throwing a punch) You can't escape this time!
Mysterious Man: (dodging, countering with a swift kick) We'll see about that.
Attacker 2: (kicking the man) Stay down!
[The man staggered but quickly regained his footing, delivering a powerful punch to Attacker 1, sending him backwards. Attacker 2 lunged forward, stabbing the man in the side. The man grimaced but did not falter. With a swift move, he disarmed Attacker 2 and kicked him to the ground.]
Mysterious Man: (breathing heavily) Is that all you've got?
[The attackers, bruised and bloodied, regrouped and pushed the man off the building. He fell through the rain, crashing onto the pavement below. The attackers hurried down the stairs, eager to confirm their kill. But when they reached the ground, the man was nowhere to be found.]
Attacker 1: (looking around frantically) Where did he go?
Attacker 2: (confused) He was right here!
[In the next frame, we see the man, revealed to be Dek's father, a grey-bearded man holding a weird machine. He stood inside a small, dimly lit house. He stumbled to his bed, exhausted, and collapsed onto it. The house's walls shimmered, cloaking the room in a protective barrier. He reached for a photo of a baby Dek, gazing at it with a mix of sorrow and determination.]
Dek's Father: (voice trembling) My son...
[He activated an AR video recorder, his hands shaking. He took a deep breath and began to speak, his voice filled with emotion.]
Dek's Father: (recording the message) I know it's been two days... I'm sorry I couldn't remember the time. As I learn more, it turns out I lose more too. I hope you are okay, my son. There will be a time when we will meet again, and I can't wait for that moment. Stay strong, Dek.
His eyes glistened with unshed tears as he looked at the photo once more.
Dek's Father: (sighing deeply) Remember, no matter what happens, you have the strength within you. You always have. I'll keep fighting from the shadows, protecting you and the secrets I've uncovered.
[He ended the recording, his heart heavy with longing and hope. The room's protective barrier flickered, but it held strong, safeguarding him as he drifted into a restless sleep.
Meanwhile, the gun training session at P.A.I.R. had just concluded. The cadets were disassembling their weapons and packing up when suddenly, the lights flickered and went out completely. The entire facility plunged into darkness.]
Instructor 5: (shouting) Everyone, stay calm! Remain where you are!
Instructor 6: (moving towards the control panel) I'll check the backup generators.
[In the midst of the confusion, a strange, intense energy began to emanate from one corner of the room. Rank 3, Noah, was enveloped in a whirlwind of power. His body seemed to be caught between a storm and an earthquake.]
Noah: (looking at his hands, excited) Hell yeah, baby!
[As the storm intensified, Noah's hands transformed, his left hand encased in wind and his right hand fragmented with earth. Small rocks hovered around him, and gusts of wind whipped through the room.]
Crash: (trying to see through the darkness) What's going on?
Noah: (grinning, eyes glowing with power) Look who just got awakened, Crash!
Before Crash could respond, instructors 5 and 6 were already urgently moving towards Noah.
Instructor 5: (grabbing Noah's arm) We need to get you to the research room, now!
Instructor 6: (helping to guide him) This is unprecedented. We need to analyze this immediately.
[Noah's power continued to surge, causing mini storms and tremors throughout the facility. The other cadets watched in awe and fear as the instructors guided Noah out of the training room.]
Crash: (to himself) Another awakening... What's going on around here?
Instructor 5: (to Instructor 6) Keep him calm. We can't afford any more disruptions.
Noah: (enthusiastically) I can control storms and cause earthquakes. This is amazing!
Instructor 6: (firmly) Focus, Noah. We need you to control it, not let it control you.
[As they reached the research room, the power outage intensified Noah's abilities. The researchers quickly connected him to various monitoring devices.]
Researcher 1: (typing furiously) His power levels are off the charts. This is incredible.
Researcher 2: (checking the readings) We've never seen anything like this. A combination of wind and earth...
[Noah looked around, feeling the raw energy coursing through him. His rock-fragmented hand pulsed with power while his other hand whipped up small wind gusts.]
Instructor 5: (to Noah) Try to focus your energy. We need to understand what's happening.
Noah: (closing his eyes, concentrating) I can feel it... I can control it...
[As he concentrated, the storms and tremors began to subside slightly. The researchers continued to monitor his vitals and power levels.]
Researcher 1: (relieved) It's stabilizing. Good job, Noah.
Instructor 6: (patting Noah's shoulder) You did well. We need to run some tests to fully understand your new abilities.
Noah: (nodding) Anything to help. I need to learn how to control this.
[Meanwhile, outside the research room, the rest of the cadets were still reeling from the sudden power outage and Noah's dramatic awakening.]
Crash: (to Dek, who had joined him) Did you see that? His power... it's insane.
Dek: (nodding, concerned) Yeah, and if more of us are awakening like this, we must be prepared.
Crash: (determined) Then we better get ready. Who knows what's coming next. Noah was undergoing a series of tests in the research room, his powers still humming under the surface. The researchers and instructors were cautiously optimistic, hoping to harness and understand this new power. The facility was on high alert, ready for whatever might come next in this wave of awakenings.
