[OPENING SCENE — VAN HQ, NIGHT]
Rain streaks the high glass dome of VAN HQ. Inside the war room, tension crackles like static. Kael, Yuna, Echo-7, Tari, and Jax review footage from the Skyrail ambush. Veya is not present. Her last check-in was hours ago.
Kael:
"None of this adds up. Why attack the rail, then disappear?"
Echo-7:
"Maybe they wanted to test our response time. Pattern reads like a simulation — not war."
Tari:
"These aren't dumb street punks anymore. They're following something. Someone."
Suddenly, alarms SHRIEK across the tower.
System Alert:
"UNAUTHORIZED BREACH — HANGAR LEVEL."
Red lights flood the room. The floor trembles. Explosions echo below.
Jax (leaping up):
"HQ is under attack? You've gotta be kidding me!"
Kael (activating Inferblade):
"Move! Secure the core rooms! Echo, get eyes!"
[SCENE — VAN HQ, HANGAR BAY CHAOS]
The Savage Bratz pour into the hangar — dozens of them, more organized than ever. Krakk leads them in person, wearing reinforced armor, his cyber-jaw grinding like a war drum.
Krakk (yelling):
"Time to tear down their pretty palace! MAKE THEM FEEL THE STREETS!"
They use EMP charges, plasma axes, hacked drones — one slams into a defense turret, frying it. Another group sabotages the elevator shafts.
Krakk:
"Crack the shell. Burn their pride."
[SCENE — UPPER FLOORS, CONTROL LEVEL]
Echo-7 sprints toward the AI terminal, his body flickering. Behind him, sparks rain as Bratz slice into data panels.
Echo-7:
"Too many of them. They hijacked our floorplans. I need—"
A Brat tackles him. The two tumble through holograms. Echo overloads his own arm to blast the thug off. He's limping, flickering badly.
[SCENE — ARMORY LEVEL]
Tari holds position in the armory corridor, using her Nova Lance to tag and blast incoming Bratz down the hall. Her face is calm — but her hands tremble.
Tari (breathing):
"Starline. Focus."
She drops to one knee. A sigil glows beneath her, summoning a barrage of starlight that burns through the corridor — frying four Bratz.
Tari:
"Still got it."
[SCENE — SKYLOUNGE, YUNA VS ILLUSION BRAT]
Yuna confronts a Brat wearing strange goggles, controlling hallucination gas. The room twists — memories flood back to Yuna: Mira laughing, Mira dying.
Illusion Brat:
"Pretty flower, time to wilt."
Yuna (closing eyes):
"You don't get to wear her memory."
She slams her hands down — vines burst from the ground, grabbing the Brat. Her psychic energy snaps the goggles off — and the illusions fade.
Yuna:
"Rest in silence, Mira."
[SCENE — BRIDGE HALL — JAX'S STAND]
Jax faces four Bratz armed with sonic gear. They pulse soundwaves at him — but Jax smiles.
Jax:
"Ohhhhhh yeah. You're speaking my language!"
He punches the ground. A reverb wave shatters the corridor floor. He leaps midair, catching two Bratz mid-blast, then throws them into a reactor panel.
Jax (grinning):
"Who's yelling now?!"
[SCENE — COMMAND CORE — KRAKK VS KAEL]
Kael bursts into the central command floor — it's ablaze. Krakk stands by the main terminal, holding a data core.
Krakk:
"You protected them with light. But light burns out. I fight for the forgotten."
Kael:
"You fight for yourself. Like a coward."
They clash. Kael's Inferblade ignites. Krakk's gauntlet releases a shockwave. They slam into each other — flame vs brute force.
Glass cracks. The room trembles. The terminal explodes.
Kael pins Krakk, fire in his eyes.
Kael:
"You don't get to break this place."
Krakk (spitting blood):
"I already did."
Suddenly, a hidden charge detonates — the outer wall of VAN HQ's west wing COLLAPSES. The force throws Kael back.
[SCENE — CONTROL ROOM COLLAPSE]
Echo-7 tries to stabilize failing systems. Tari rushes in.
Tari:
"They took out the sub-core. Half our defenses are down!"
Echo-7:
"If the tower leans 6 more degrees, we lose comms city-wide!"
[SCENE — OUTSIDE HQ — YUNA'S SHIELD BLOOM]
Civilians are gathering below, watching in horror as the HQ burns.
Yuna, standing on a broken ledge, summons massive psychic blossoms that wrap around the broken wing — temporarily holding the building together.
Yuna (gritting teeth):
"You don't get to fall. Not on my watch."
[FINAL SCENE — ROOFTOP, NIGHT, KRACK ESCAPES]
Krakk limps into an escape shuttle. Bratz are retreating. The HQ is smoking, broken but standing.
Kael and Jax make it to the rooftop just as the shuttle lifts.
Jax:
"Too slow."
Kael (grim):
"Too lucky."
[POST-CREDIT SCENE — RUINS BELOW SKYVAULT]
In a long-forgotten chamber, Veya finds a glyph carved into the wall. It pulses.
She whispers:
Veya:
"This isn't Bratz tech… This is Nullborn."
A heartbeat thrums in the dark.
