⚔️ EPISODE 52 – The Living Nerve
Subtitle: "Active Scars"
---
🎬 SCENE 1: At the end of their nerves
> In the main arena, the audience no longer dares to shout. Two warriors are on their knees, but their eyes are still burning with fire.
Myon-Sekh spits out a black thread. He speaks in a whisper:
💬 "Your blood... has a smell I recognise..."
The Reversed one slowly raises his head. A red thread falls from his nose.
💬 "Keep breathing. You haven't seen anything yet."
🔥 They leap at the SAME TIME.
---
🎬 SCENE 2: Perfect sequence — technique vs. counter-technique
💥 Myon-Sekh unleashes his secondary forbidden technique:
🌀 "Secondary Spasm" — voluntary contraction of his intercostal muscles to deflect internal attacks.
The Reversed responds instantly with a phase-shifting movement:
⏳ "Tectonic Shift" — he attacks 0.4 seconds into the future, creating a temporal breach around Myon's sternum.
💥 Simultaneous impact:
Myon's rib cage twists, but his knee strikes the Reversed One's jaw.
The ground cracks beneath their feet. Blue particles rise into the air.
---
🎬 SCENE 3: Tense dialogue + activation of gravities
They step back, both panting.
💬 Spectator in the crowd (analyst):
"They're fighting beyond the muscular threshold. It's pure feedback... Every nerve becomes a circuit."
💬 The Reversed (staring):
"Activate your gravity, Myon. I want to die... having seen your true weight."
⚙️ Myon-Sekh finally activates his Major Gravity Colour:
💢 Slow Red Gravity — each attack becomes denser, slower but unstoppable.
He advances. A crack follows each of his steps.
---
🎬 SCENE 4: Controlled brutality — ultra-detailed movements
🔥 New round:
1. Myon-Sekh follows up with:
Downward strike to the collarbone
Spinning heel kick to the spinal cord
Reverse hook to the inner ear
2. The Reverse:
Blocks each blow with a shoulder movement — Art of the Counterwave
Slides into the back → Vertical fist to the C7 vertebra
Screams and leaps backwards (kick to the liver)
🎯 Both are sent crashing into the arena wall.
---
🎬 SCENE 5: Brief pause — tension and roars
Both are breathing heavily.
Myon raises his arms. His skin trembles.
💬 "I sense that you doubt... but you strike like me. Who trained you?"
💬 The Reversed One (chest open, bitter grin):
"The one you abandoned in cell 12."
The audience freezes. A roar rises.
💢 The two throw themselves at each other one last time at full speed. The impact sends tiles flying from the floor.
---
🎬 SCENE 6: End of episode — new synchronisation
They are both standing, trembling.
Suddenly... their movements become synchronised.
Each of Myon's blows is anticipated by the Reversed One. Each of the Reversed One's defences is broken by Myon's precision.
💥 We enter a phase of deadly mimicry.
Final split screen:
Fist against fist.
Knee against knee.
Gaze against gaze.
Then... silence.
They are frozen, arms crossed in the air, a drop of sweat suspended between them.

> The final round. The fight comes to an end. The truth about the bond between the two men will be revealed. And... a new observer enters the arena, wearing a green hooded cloak bearing the forgotten insignia of the Kaïnos School.
