Verdant Blades:Shattered Alliance Episode 1

Verdant Blades: Shattered Alliance – Episode 1: “The Blade Awakens”

Scene opens on a desolate cityscape at dawn, the sky bleeding crimson. Broken buildings litter the streets. A lone figure, DEMIKO, crouches atop a skyscraper, eyes scanning the city below.

Demiko:[Heh… finally. My first real hunt in decades.]

He flexes his fingers, cyan hair glowing faintly under the morning light. His eyes gleam green, reflecting the distant flicker of alarms.

Cut to inside a high-security facility. GUARDS patrol the corridors, unaware of the predator above.

Harumo:[Comm check… Demiko, you copy?]

Demiko’s voice echoes over a comm device, cocky yet calm.

Demiko:[Loud and clear, Harumo. Don’t worry, I’ve got this.]

He leaps from the rooftop, landing silently in the shadows of the compound. His long sword, wrapped in a simple sheath, glints in the faint light.

Demiko:[Time to see what all this training was for.]

The camera pans over Demiko’s flashback: training rooms, drills, brutal lessons from faceless mentors, and finally, him sneaking through a heavily secured vault—his first sword in hand, a thin smile on his lips.

Back to present. Demiko moves like liquid shadow, cutting silently through sensors and guards. One guard makes a sound; Demiko’s sword flashes.

Demiko:[Shh… sleep now.]

The guard’s body hits the floor silently. Demiko wipes his blade, a hint of a brutal grin forming.

Cut to outside, Kojiko watches via surveillance drones. He’s in his mech suit, ominous and confident, smirking.

Kojiko:[Hmm… so the little pet finally found his blade. Let’s see if he’s worth the trouble.]

Back inside, Demiko reaches the vault. Multiple security systems flash red.

Demiko:[Oh, come on… nothing I can’t handle.]

He sidesteps lasers, disables traps, and finally reaches the prize: a chest filled with shimmering ancient swords. His eyes widen, green light reflecting the steel.

Demiko:[Finally… mine.]

He grabs a long, elegant sword, testing its weight. The camera zooms on his hand gripping it—muscle memory from years of training evident.

Demiko:[Feels… perfect.]

Suddenly, alarms blare. The facility shakes as Kojiko’s mech bursts through the wall, guns blazing.

Kojiko:[Thought you could sneak around, huh? Amateur.]

Demiko:[Heh… guess I’ll have to make this fun.]

Demiko charges, blade singing. A brutal dance ensues: bullets shattering walls, sparks flying as metal meets metal. Demiko slashes through the mech’s outer plating, showing his brutal efficiency.

Harumo:[Demiko, careful! That thing isn’t ordinary!]

Demiko:[Relax, Harumo. I know what I’m doing.]

The fight is tense, fast-paced. Demiko’s grin fades as Kojiko adapts. A heavy swing from the mech knocks Demiko back, cutting into the floor tiles. Blood trickles from a shallow wound. Demiko wipes it, cocky but aware.

Demiko:[Not bad… I like a challenge.]

Harumo, watching from above, readies her pistols, eyes calculating.

Harumo:[Don’t underestimate him… he’s fast, but even fast can die.]

Demiko flips over debris, landing behind Kojiko’s mech. He slashes, sparks and smoke filling the air. Kojiko’s grin falters as he realizes Demiko isn’t holding back.

Kojiko:[Impressive… but not enough!]

Demiko pauses, taking a deep breath. His cyan hair flares in the morning light, his body coiled and ready. The episode closes with Demiko’s sword raised, eyes fierce.

Demiko:[Let’s see who breaks first.]
