When Laughter Bleeds"

Volume 2 – Chapter 12: "When Laughter Bleeds"

SCENE 1 — Private underground stage of the Viktor Mansion

The strobe lights flash. Viktor dances with murderous precision as he strikes Nikkomam with his deadly choreography.

NARRATION:

Viktor didn't fight… he performed violence.

NIKKOMAM'S BODY

…flies from side to side like a clumsy puppet. His yellow hat is torn. His face is bleeding. His clothes are covered in dust and scorn.

VIKTOR (smiling, as he spins in the air and lands a kick in Nikkomam's stomach):

You shouldn't have come to the show… without a ticket.

NIKKOMAM (fallen, coughing blood, trying to get up):

I just wish… you would stop… using those girls…

VIKTOR (digging the heel of his shoe into Nikkomam's chest):

They love me. You're just… noise.

SCENE 2 — The final blow approaches

Viktor steps back, spins elegantly and prepares a brilliant spinning kick, his fatal signature: the "Final Apotheosis".

VIKTOR (shouting):

Goodbye, walking joke!

But at the EXACT moment his foot flies towards Nikkomam's head...

💥 BOOOM! 💥

A buzzing sound fills the air. A golden figure crosses the room at high speed and hits Viktor in mid-flight, throwing him brutally against a mirrored wall. Shards fly.

SCENE 3 — Heroine's entrance

A woman lands gracefully. Her wings still flutter. She wears a gold and black skintight suit, long boots, and her hair is tied in two buns. Her eyes shine with justice.

NIKKOMAM (lying down, with a weak smile):

Ah... my savior sweet as honey...

VIKTOR (standing up, wiping the blood from his mouth, surprised):

...Woman... Bee?

WOMAN BEE (with a firm and determined voice):

You've crossed the line, Viktor. Manipulating vulnerable girls to die for you?

That ends now.

VIKTOR (smiling, but with tense eyes):

The national heroine... has come down from her golden nest. What an honor!

WOMAN BEE (stretching her wings):

You wanted an audience, Viktor? Then dance...

...for me.
