🏛️ Scene 1 — The Wall of Judgment: The Twelve Seals are activated
The Kha'mor desert explodes under a rain of temporal dust. Thousands of faces slowly appear on the Wall of Judgment, a vertical organic structure, pulsating like an inverted heart.
In the centre, an inscription lights up:
> "ELIMINATION ROUND NO. 2 — THE HEART AGAINST THE VOID"
12 fighters selected. The first 6 arenas appear suspended in mid-air.
---
⚔️ Scene 2 — Arena 1: Kira vs Thorkan the Shadowforge
A dimensional glass coliseum, set against a backdrop of green lightning.
🧪 Thorkan: a mutant blacksmith with a body of liquid metal and teeth made of irradiated coal.
Secret Technique: Spiritual Welding Mouth — he swallows his enemies' techniques and spits them out corrupted.
Forbidden Technique: Reverse Eclipse Hammer — causes a short circuit in the opponent's soul.
Superpower: Variable density + polarised skin.
🌿 Kira: already exhausted from her last fight, enters... but in a vegetative trance.
---
⚔️ The fight:
Thorkan attacks with a combo: ➤ Flexible triple blade ➜ Heat wave ➜ Metal vapour projection.
Kira reacts immediately: ➤ Spore veil ➜ Floral blade ➜ Reverse gravitational wave at the hip.
💥 Gravity of the shock:
Thorkan's vapour melts the ground, Kira loses her vision for 3 seconds, but defends herself instinctively. She unleashes:
> 🌸 "Ultimate Root — Breath of Lost Memory"
A plant-like mental field invades the arena, cutting off Thorkan's thoughts. He staggers, losing control of his density.
Kira pierces his left side with a bioplasmic floral sting ➜ the metal explodes into a shower of vibrating atoms.
🔚 Result:
Thorkan is disintegrated at the neural level, his body empty. Kira collapses, unconscious but alive.

🐉 Scene 3 — Temple of Kaïnos: Kairos and the Call
In an underground room, Kairos meditates under the Cascade of Fluid Memory.
Master Azogbi Bélier communicates remotely from Necoviome:
> "Kairos. The New Serpent has begun its journey."
> "You can no longer escape the awakening of the Third Circle."
Kairos opens his eyes — two holographic lines of cosmic light flow from his eyelids.
---
🐍 Scene 4 — The New Serpent awakens
In the black crater of Meth-Kaos, the New Serpent emerges. A 400-metre biomechanical creature, composed of fragments of memories, plasma scales, and the bones of forgotten warriors.
It does not speak.
It breathes in.
And with each breath, entire realities bend.
---
🎭 Scene 5 — Anomaly in the Reversed Waiting Room
Eclipse-777 meditates. He hears an unfamiliar breath. He opens his eye.
🕳️ A rift opens. Out comes:
> Zöniel, the Bearer of Nothingness
An ancient fractal god of the south, clad in dark liquid armour, his bare arms made of shifting nothingness.
He does not announce himself.
He observes Kairos, Kira, and Eclipse-777 as if they were divergent versions of the same past.
---
🎮 Scene 6 — Global Announcement: The 6 Remaining Arenas
Thousands of fractal screens activate in the sky:
1. Eclipse-777 vs Neyla-Skan (half-awakening of her neurological form)
2. Kairos vs Sivrane (mirror combat, memory against memory)
3. Bella Zena vs Tazûr (awakening of the inverse flame)
4. Jackson Nectar vs Yeliah (song vs electroflora)
5. Martine Pedro vs an ancient clone of herself
6. Champlain Iᵉʳ vs The Architect of Silence
The battles begin... but a tremor shakes the Arenas.
The New Serpent has entered the gravity system. He is... the thirteenth fighter.

👁️ Final cliffhanger: Oxarien will tremble
> Kairos looks at the horizon: "He's not coming for a winner... He's coming for a forgotten memory."
