EPISODE 41 — Hidden Names

🌑 EPISODE 41 — Hidden Names

Alternative Title: "The Antechamber of the Immortals"

"When the breath of legend precedes the roar of reality..."

🎬 SCENE 1 — Destiny's Waiting Room (Fighter Preparation)

A reverent silence reigns in the room beneath the central arena. Holographic monitors continuously play clips of the final Kairos vs. Kiralypse fight.

In the room, Kira stands with her back to the wall, eyes closed.

She meditates... and listens to the heart of her own fractures.

👤 Medical Technician:

"Her heart rate is stable. But her energy level is beyond normal limits... she is no longer human."

Opposite-777 is warming up. Luminescent black lines run down her arms.

He slowly strikes a reinforced wall... each blow leaves a hollow.

🗣️ Eclipse (in a low voice):

"If I hold it for more than 2 minutes... the parasite will devour my soul. If I win... I'm already dead."

An arena master enters:

🧓 *"On your marks... in 6 minutes, the light will be upon you. No referee. No encore. The crowd is hungry."

🔔 SCENE 2 — Public Announcement of the Battle

A curtain of energy rises, revealing the Tournament President in celestial blue armor:

📢 "People of Oxarian... Silence for the heirs of chaos and light. Here comes... the duel between two anomalies!"

The crowd roars. The arena is ready. Floating platforms activate in the sky.

👁️ SCENE 3 — Backstage with the other fighters

As Kira and Eclipse-777 approach the arena:

👤 A hooded figure watches the scene from the dome's black catwalk:

"They have no idea this tournament is a... ritual."

👥 New fighters arrive:

Sahrkan Délok, a fighter from the core of the dark planet Nocthera.

His skin is made of black mirror.

He possesses a forbidden technique called "Silence of Matter": he severs the target's connection to gravity.

Meï-Shô Kanza, a warrior of the Pearl Cloud, from the aerial towers of Spalion.

She controls vector needles and her secret power: "Time Stitching," which sews her attacks in the coming seconds.

Kaon the Fractured, half-man, half-unstable dimension.

Each time he moves, his body flashes between three alternate versions.

His signature move: "Parallel Fall," a synchronized attack spanning multiple timelines.

🗣️ SCENE 4 — Backstage Dialogue (Kira vs. Eclipse)

Just before entering the sacred ground:

🗣️ Eclipse:

"Do you still believe in justice?"

🗣️ Kira (opens her eyes, calm):

"I only believe in memory now. And you're in mine."

🗣️ Eclipse:

"Then let me etch myself in it."

They look at each other one last time. The door of light opens.

🎭 SCENE 5 — Audience Reactions

👤 Jaxon (watching from the special stands, injured but awake):

"The real tournament... begins now."

👤 Lyra (connected to the Tree of Ash):

"These two... carry the fragments of the future."

📡 POST-CREDITS — The manipulators behind the scenes

In a hidden room beneath the arena:

👤 Holographic voice (unknown):

"Let them fight... when one of them dies, we'll activate Protocol Omega-13."

🖥️ A screen displays:

> "98% of the audience emotionally engaged. Energy bleed detected. Gamma root awakening in progress..."

Episode 42: "The Anomaly vs. the Echo"

The duel begins. Each strike reveals a memory. Each dodge fractures a world.
