The Sanctuary of Evolution

A Long Time Ago

There was a young genius scientist. Using his extraordinary intelligence, he made numerous contributions to the world. BUT HE LOST HIS FAITH IN HUMANITY. People constantly showered him with words of admiration for his brilliance, but there wasn't a single person who supported the radical ideas he expressed every day.

"Taking evolution into our own hands. In other words, forcing human evolution through mutation." That was his dream. His only dream. And he was determined to achieve it, no matter the cost. But no one believed in him, no one would lend a hand.

Born into a poor family, the boy was gifted from the start. At the age of five, he had already solved complex equations that baffled graduate students. By eight, he was conducting experiments that gained national attention. But with every achievement, society grew more expectant, more demanding. He wasn't seen as a child with dreams but a tool for others to exploit.

Bullied by peers who envied his intelligence, manipulated by adults who sought to profit from his genius, and abandoned by a world that rejected his vision—he grew bitter. As a teenager, he turned his back on society, retreating into solitude. His experiments became darker, fueled by a desire to prove that humanity was nothing but a stepping stone to a superior race.

Years later, in his isolated lab deep underground, he finally achieved his dream. He named his laboratory The Sanctuary of Evolution and began creating new species through grotesque experiments. Beastly hybrids, mutated cyborgs, and artificial lifeforms—all testaments to his belief that only through chaos and destruction could true progress be achieved.

Scene: Titan Machina Explains Everything

Kazuto: "You talk too much! What does all that have to do with me? GET TO THE POINT! THE POINT!"

Tatsuya: "My master is a busy man. Summarize everything in one simple sentence—20 words max." (Still aiming his plasma cannon, ready to fire at any moment.)

Titan Machina: "S-Sorry! Okay, in short... My boss has taken a great interest in your body."

Kazuto: "...I'm not into that sort of thing."

Tatsuya: "You misunderstood, Master. His plan is to use your body to overcome human limitations for his research. If we don't act, he'll probably send more assassins after you."

A New Humanity, A New World

Tatsuya: "I've heard rumors about The Sanctuary of Evolution. They're supposed to be some kind of religious cult preaching about the dawn of a new world. But looking at you guys and that bug monster... you seem a lot more dangerous than that. Either way, we can't ignore this. SO THIS TIME, WE'RE PAYING THEM A VISIT!"

Kazuto: "Okay, let's go." (Serious)

Tatsuya: "...Wait, already!?"

Kazuto: "Yeah. I can't go tomorrow—it's my special sale day."

Tatsuya hurries after Kazuto as they head toward The Sanctuary of Evolution.

Titan Machina (watching them leave): "This is bad... I have to warn the doc..."

Tatsuya: "HEY, YOU!"

Titan Machina: "Huh? Y-Yeah?" (Nervous)

Tatsuya (still aiming at him): "I still have a few questions. Has The Sanctuary of Evolution developed more cyborgs in recent years? How many do they have? Have they sent any to destroy cities?"

Titan Machina: "I... I don't know anything from the past four years, but I'm the only battle cyborg in The Sanctuary of Evolution."

Cut to: The Scientist

Scientist: "This can't be! Titan Machina, Frog Kaijin, Big Mole, and the Beast King—the elite squad I created to exterminate the old humanity—they were all defeated!?"

Assistant #1: "According to Titan Machina's report, the two individuals responsible for this disaster are heading here as we speak."

Assistant #2: "We can't let them destroy our research—the fruits of our labor. When they arrive, we must stop them at all costs!"

Scientist: "...I guess we have no choice but to use our trump card. Make the necessary preparations for the release of...Prime Ravager."

Assistants: "WHAT!? ARE YOU INSANE!?"

Assistant #3: "It's true that we have no other option... but even so, this is reckless!"

Scientist: "Calm down. We'll only use it as a last resort. For now, install countless traps on all eight floors underground. With a bit of luck, they'll fall for our trick." (Sweating profusely) "I'm aware of the risks of unleashing it."

Three Hours Later

Tatsuya: "I can't believe we came here on foot."

Kazuto: "How else were we supposed to get here?"

Tatsuya: "I don't know. I assumed you could fly or something."

Kazuto: "You know humans can't fly, right?"

Tatsuya: "Well, it's amazing you managed to get here on time."

As they approach a ruined structure:

Tatsuya: "I guess that's what makes a hero."

Kazuto: "Nah, I usually show up late."

Tatsuya stops in his tracks.

Tatsuya: "We're here. This is the place that cyborg mentioned. This must be... The Sanctuary of Evolution!"

Tatsuya charges a plasma blast and obliterates the 8-story building in one shot, disintegrating a mountain in the process.

KAPOW

Kazuto: "Dude... what are you doing so suddenly!?"

Tatsuya: "Huh? I thought this was the most efficient way to eliminate them all at once."

Kazuto: "Sure, but you could've at least given them a chance to try something. Have you ever heard of the word compassion?"

Kazuto spots a bunker door beneath the rubble.

Kazuto: "Hmm?" (He opens it effortlessly.) "Looks like the entrance to their basement."

Inside the Sanctuary

Assistant #4 (terrified, holding a rifle): "STAY AWAY! STAY AWAAAY!"

A single punch from Prime Ravager blows away the assistant's torso, leaving him dead on the floor.

Scientist (approaching nervously): "...Prime Ravager, what's happening?" (sweating bullets) "Looks like you've killed a lot of my assistants again. Are you satisfied now?"

Prime Ravager (breaking his chains): "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?"

SNAP!

"HOW COULD I BE SATISFIED!? YOU LOCKED ME DOWN HERE—ME, THE STRONGEST CREATION OF THE SANCTUARY OF EVOLUTION!"

Scientist: "Your mind is unstable... uncontrollable. We had no choice but to imprison you."

Prime Ravager (mocking, leaning close to the scientist): "HAHAHAHAHAHA! FOOL! I AM THE NEW HUMAN YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO CREATE! STRONGER AND SMARTER THAN YOU PATHETIC OLD HUMANS! YOU SHOULD BE GROVELING AT MY FEET!"

Scientist (thinking): "NO! YOU'RE A FAILURE! EVEN WITH YOUR POWER AND INTELLIGENCE... YOU LACK CLASS."

Scientist (calmly): "Kill me if you want. There are others who can replace me. But I have one favor to ask."

He presses a button, showing a live feed of Kazuto and Tatsuya.

Scientist: "These are the samples I want at any cost. The only problem is... they're extremely strong. You're the only one who can defeat them. I don't care if they're dead or alive—just bring me their bodies."
