Episode 1 – The Beginning of the End

20 Years Later: A New Dawn

📍 Location: University of Lagos (UNILAG) – Morning

(A large university campus buzzes with life. Students rush to classes, laughter fills the air, and life seems normal. But deep within the crowd, Atinuke walks with purpose. She is now 20 years old, tall, strong, and confident. Her sharp eyes scan the environment as if expecting danger at any moment.)

(Atinuke wears a simple hoodie and jeans, blending in with the students. Despite her attempts to be normal, there's an aura of power around her. People notice her, though they don't understand why.)

Inside a Lecture Hall

(Lecturer writing on the board.)

Lecturer: "And this brings us to the political structure of Nigeria after the last administration…"

(Atinuke sits at the back, flipping through her notes absentmindedly. A message pops up on her phone.)

📩 Zainab: "Meet us at the usual place. Urgent."

(Atinuke sighs, already knowing it's trouble.)

The Hidden Meeting

📍 Location: Abandoned Building in Lagos – Night

(The team sits in a dimly lit hideout, an old warehouse repurposed as a safe house. Patricia (Oya), Jason, Teni, Zainab, Uche, and Amina are there, along with Amara – the half-human, half-robot warrior. They are older now, battle-hardened, but still a family.)

Patricia: (arms crossed) "Mr. D is alive."

(Silence. A heavy realization sinks in.)

Jason: (shaking his head) "Impossible. We saw him die."

Teni: (gritted teeth) "Guess we were wrong."

Uche: (serious) "It's worse. He's been working behind the scenes, and now he's making his move."

(He throws a newspaper onto the table. The headline reads:)

📢 "Unknown Superpowered Individuals Threaten National Security – Government Declares Them Criminals!"

(Underneath are blurred surveillance images of them in battle. The government has labeled them as terrorists. Their identities have been leaked. They are now fugitives.)

Atinuke: (clenching her fists) "So that's his plan. He's turning the country against us."

Amara: (analyzing) "The news reports are carefully crafted. He's making us look like a threat to Nigeria."

Patricia: (coldly) "And now the police, soldiers, and bounty hunters will all be after us."

(Everyone is silent for a moment. Then Jason chuckles bitterly.)

Jason: "So much for living a peaceful life."

Watching from the Shadows

📍 Location: An Overlooking Rooftop – Midnight

(A figure stands high above the city, watching everything. He is wrapped in a dark cloak, his face hidden. His eyes glow faintly like burning embers. This is the Shadow Figure.)

(He watches as Atinuke and the team leave their hideout. His expression is unreadable.)

(He speaks softly, his voice barely above a whisper.)

Shadow Figure: (to himself) "They've grown… But this is only the beginning."

(A distant thunder rumbles in the sky, but there are no clouds.)

(He disappears into the darkness.)

The First Attack

📍 Location: UNILAG Campus – Next Day

(Atinuke walks out of class when she notices several black SUVs parked nearby. Men in black tactical gear step out. They are government enforcers.)

(A loudspeaker booms.)

📢 Government Agent: "Atinuke… Surrender peacefully, or we will use force."

(Students freeze. Murmurs spread. They look at Atinuke with fear and suspicion. Just yesterday, she was their classmate. Now, she is a wanted criminal.)

(Atinuke slowly raises her hands but smirks.)

Atinuke: "You guys really picked the wrong day."

(BOOM! A sudden burst of wind knocks the agents back as lightning crackles around her hands.)

(The chase begins.)
