The War Has Already Begun

📖 Chapter 2 - The War Has Already Begun

[SCENE 1 - NEWSPAPERS, NEWS, SOCIAL MEDIA - ZOMBO WORLD]

🎙️ TV Presenter (deep and tense voice):

> "The First Elite School War has officially begun. After the massacre at the Supreme Elite School's dance - where 90 students were killed, 20 were injured and 8 remain missing -, schools across the country of Zombo went to war for control of school territories.

It is not yet known who caused the massacre, but there are suspicions of a terrorist teacher manipulating the students behind the scenes."

[Public Comment - ZerkTalk Social Network]

🗣️ @CidadãoComum47:

> "Are the students becoming soldiers? What kind of world is this? Where are the parents of these children?"

🗣️ @EliteDaZonaNorte:

> "War is inevitable. Those who have power, dominate. The weak cry."

🗣️ @AnarquistaZerk:

> "I support it. This is just the beginning of the revolution. End the school caste system!"

[SCENE 2 - JACARÉ SUL FAVELA - ANA BELA'S HOUSE]

Ana Bela, with the radio on and a tense look, holds the phone, but no one answers.

💬 Ana Bela (shaky voice):

> "Huguel... where are you? Since that day... we haven't heard from you. Are you okay, my angel of darkness? Please answer me..."

A tear runs down her face. She looks at a mural with old photos of the residents protected by Huguel.

The television shows scenes of the massacre. Dina Vick is standing, with her hand covering her mouth, her eyes wide open.

Felipe and Amélia Vick, Houka's parents, sit and watch, paralyzed.

💬 Dina (desperate):

> "That was at his school... HOUKA! My God, where is he?!"

💬 Felipe Vick (tense):

> "He doesn't answer... any signal. I knew all that ambition could... explode."

💬 Amélia Vick (almost crying):

> "My son... please be alive. We love you..."

One of the henchmen comments:

💬 Soldier 1:

> "Boss... what if this Houka is useful? The kid is cold. A born leader. He's dangerous."

💬 Gabino (smoking, thoughtful):

> "He could be a problem... or a tool."

In war, there is no mercy.

An enemy... is an enemy."

They stare at each other.

💬 Huguel:

> "You will be the first piece...

in my plan to revolutionize the Zerk world."

💬 Houka (still smiling):

> "And what's the name of this?"

💬 Huguel:

> "Zombo Stars. Our group begins now."

Cut to black.
