ACT 1 – CHAPTER 9: Found You

Running.

Cy, Migs, and Louise sprinted through the hallway, weaving through confused students and turning every corner with rising panic.

Cy: "What the hell is Axel doing?!"

Migs: "I don't know—but if we don't hurry, he might not make it out in one piece."

Then—CRASH!

A student flew across the hall and slammed against the lockers, groaning in pain.

The three skidded to a stop.

From the far end of the corridor, a tall student in a green uniform stepped into view. Calm. Confident. Dangerous.

Behind him, a crew of green-uniformed students followed, silent and menacing.

Louise (gulping): "Who… who are you?"

Cy stepped in front of him, eyes locked onto the green leader.

Cy: "Stand back."

His voice dropped into a growl.

Cy: "What the hell are you doing here?"

The green student smiled wide. Too wide.

Green Student: "Oh, Cy… how've you been, old friend?"

He casually threw his arm around Cy's shoulder, like it was some kind of reunion.

Cy didn't move. His body was tense.

Cy: "What do you want?"

The green student's smile dropped. His eyes sharpened.

Green Student: "Word is… there's a new student here. Someone shaking things up. Causing a real storm."

Cy: "F*** off."

Without warning—BAM!

A punch slammed into Cy's gut, folding him over. He dropped to the floor.

Louise gasped.

Migs stepped forward—but froze. There were too many of them.

Cut to:

Abandoned Gym – Inside

Axel stood across from Alias, fists still clenched from his last fight.

Axel: "What do you mean… another school?"

Before Alias could answer—screams and footsteps rang out outside the gym.

Student (yelling): "They're here! They're really here!"

Alias' face darkened.

Alias: "They've arrived… the ones I warned you about."

Axel, Alias, Hector, Briggs, and a still-winded Warren stepped outside.

The scene stopped them cold.

At the center of the courtyard, the same green-uniformed student from earlier stood tall, dragging Cy by the hair like a ragdoll.

Blood dripped from Cy's lip. He didn't speak. His eyes burned with fury.

Green Student: "Well, well… Alias. Come here, brother!"

Alias froze, fists clenched.

Axel (quietly): "You know him?"

Alias (gritted teeth): "Too well."

Green Student: "Relax. I just came to see the new kid everyone's been yapping about."

He tossed Cy to the ground and stepped forward.

Green Student: "So, where is he? The freshman with the fists. The so-called storm—"

WHAM!

Axel came out of nowhere, his fist a blur—aimed right at the green student's jaw.

But he tilted his head and dodged effortlessly.

A slow, wicked smile crept across his face.

Green Student: "There you are…"

He leaned closer, eyes locked onto Axel like a predator who'd just spotted his prey.

Green Student: "Found ya."
