Episode 2:The Heist at Black Spire
Scene 1 – Nightfall over Black Spire Facility
The camera pans over a sprawling steel fortress, floodlights sweeping across barbed wire fences. Inside, guards patrol with rifles, shadows long under artificial light.
Demiko crouches on a rooftop, his cyan hair glowing faintly under the moon. His green eyes glint like a predator’s.
Demiko:[Heh… they think steel walls can keep me out? I’ve been breaking cages since I was a kid.]
He pulls his longsword free from its wrappings. The blade hums in the moonlight — his obsession, his love, finally in his grasp.
⸻
Scene 2 – First Blood
Demiko drops silently behind a patrolling guard. With a childlike grin, he slashes upward — the blade cuts clean through the man’s spine. Blood sprays against the wall.
Demiko:[One down. Let’s paint this place red.]
He dashes forward, slicing two more guards — one head rolls across the concrete, the other collapses screaming with half his arm dangling.
⸻
Scene 3 – Harumo’s Entrance
A sharp gunshot cracks the night. Another guard falls before Demiko reaches him. Harumo steps from the shadows, twin pistols still smoking.
Harumo:[You’re loud. I prefer precision.]
Demiko:[Precision? Hah. Blood is precision. Look at the lines I draw.]
Harumo frowns but doesn’t argue.
Harumo:[Stay focused. We’re not here to slaughter every insect. We need the vault.]
Demiko:[I don’t care about the vault. I care about the thrill.]
⸻
Scene 4 – Inside the Fortress
The pair slip inside through a cracked maintenance door. Guards flood the corridors.
• Harumo’s choreography: slides across the floor, firing two precise shots — skulls burst open, brains splattering the wall.
• Demiko’s choreography: spins his sword in wild arcs, severing legs at the knees, cutting through ribcages. Blood coats the walls like paint strokes.
Harumo:[Brutal… but effective.]
Demiko:[Don’t pretend you don’t enjoy watching.]
⸻
Scene 5 – Kojiko’s First Foreshadowing
As alarms wail, a massive holo-screen flickers on in the corridor. Kojiko’s face fills the display, smirking.
Kojiko:[Well, well… little Demiko. Freshly off your leash and already making a mess.]
Demiko:[Kojiko…] his grip tightens on the blade [You’ll choke on your words soon enough.]
Kojiko:[Oh, I hope so. I trained you to kill, not to survive. Don’t disappoint me.]
The feed cuts out.
Harumo:[That man is dangerous.]
Demiko:[He’s nothing but a stepping stone.]
⸻
Scene 6 – The Vault Fight
The vault doors hiss open — six elite armored guards step out, halberds in hand.
Combat choreography:
• Demiko rushes first, sword flashing. He slices one guard diagonally in half; the torso slides off with a gush of blood.
• A halberd pierces Demiko’s shoulder — he snarls and yanks the blade deeper through his own flesh to pull the guard closer, then decapitates him.
• Harumo kneels, pistols firing rapid precision shots: bullets pierce through visors, painting the steel floor red.
• Demiko stabs two guards simultaneously, pulling his sword upward and spilling intestines across the floor.
Harumo:[Your recklessness is going to get you killed.]
Demiko:[Or it’s what keeps me alive.]
⸻
Scene 7 – The Vault Prize
Inside the vault: blueprints, weapons, and stolen artifacts. Demiko’s eyes widen when he sees a rack of swords, ancient and gleaming.
Demiko:[Finally… my true companions.]
He runs his hand across one blade, almost tenderly.
Harumo:[We don’t have time for sentiment.]
Demiko:[You wouldn’t understand. A sword doesn’t betray you. People do.]
⸻
Scene 8 – Escape and Bloodbath
More guards rush the vault. The escape turns into a massacre:
• Demiko, dual-wielding swords, cuts through enemies like paper. One soldier’s torso peels open as his organs spill onto the floor.
• Harumo shoots grenades on belts, exploding soldiers into chunks of flesh.
• Demiko licks blood from his cheek, laughing like a child with a new toy.
Harumo:[You’re insane.]
Demiko:[I’m free.]
⸻
Scene 9
The two escape onto the rooftops. Kojiko watches from a distant tower in his mech suit, eyes gleaming.
Kojiko:[Good. Break your chains, Demiko. Because when you do… I’ll be the one to shatter you.]
