🌫️ Scene 1: The Reunion

No celebration. Only relief mixed with fear.

The coin in Trish's pocket vibrates once.

Far away, something ancient stirs.

🗡️ Scene 2: Sherlock's Last Stand

Near Redfern Ridge Station, Sherlock documents dimensional fractures left behind by recent realm instability.

Fog rolls in unnaturally.

A tall figure steps forward.

Dion'Gu — Realm Watcher.

Cloaked in mist, holding the Blade of Tenhalla, forged from the bones of forgotten gods.

Dion'Gu – You crossed a line that cannot exist.Sherlock – Funny. Lines exist to be crossed.

Sherlock attacks—sigils, wards, gunfire.

None touch Dion'Gu.

The blade strikes.

Straight through the chest.

Sherlock collapses, blood pooling beneath him.

Sherlock (weakly) – Ariana… I was close…

Dion'Gu – Truth always dies first.

Fog swallows the alley.

Sherlock is dead.

⚡ Scene 3: Wolfe Feels the Tear

Deep underground, Wolfe jolts upright.

His instincts scream.

Theo's lightning crackles violently nearby.

Theo – A Watcher just moved.Wolfe – …They killed Sherlock.

Silence.

Then Wolfe stands, claws flexing.

Wolfe – The Realm Watchers just declared war.

Theo nods.

Theo – Then we tear down their anchors.

Plans begin immediately.

🐾 Scene 4: Percy's Confession

In the forest, Kol meets Percy Cougar while tracking Dion'Gu's energy trail.

Percy's voice trembles.

Percy – They took my sister. Said her mutation destabilized reality.Percy – Realm Watchers don't save people. They erase them.

Kol's expression hardens.

Kol – Then we erase them back.

Using Ryker's elemental sensing, they lock onto the Watcher's trail.

🧙‍♂️ Scene 5: Milo vs. Magika

In a cursed warehouse, Milo hangs chained.

Magika twists his veins with corrupted spells.

Magika – You were born to seal witches.Magika – I'll rewrite your purpose.

Shadows erupt.

Chains shatter.

A violent duel tears the building apart.

Milo wins—but collapses, barely alive.

🌌 Scene 6: Kevin Sees Too Much

Kevin drives past the station late at night.

A figure stands by a tree.

Tall. Faceless. Watching.

Gone.

At the station—half the officers are dead.

Blood everywhere.

In the morgue—

Sherlock.

Kevin – No… no no no—

Hands grab him.

Realm Watchers surround him.

Watcher – You were never meant to witness this.

Kevin vanishes.

🧊 Scene 7: The Stonebound Argument

Back at the bunker, Wolfe and Theo argue.

Their friends remain petrified.

Theo – Dillan caused this. Kill him and it ends.Wolfe – He's possessed, not gone.

Theo hesitates.

Wolfe – If we become executioners, we're no better than Watchers.

The argument remains unresolved.

Time is running out.

💔 Scene 8: Sasha and Dracula

In a quiet barn, Sasha and Dracula sit together.

No titles. No masks.

They kiss—not from hunger, but exhaustion.

Sasha – If the world ends…Dracula – Then we faced it honestly.

🧨 Scene 9: Wolfe Is Confronted

Wolfe arrives at the station.

Sees Sherlock's body.

Falls to his knees.

Wolfe rises slowly.

Eyes glowing gold.

Wolfe – You just made the wrong enemy.

🧭 Scene 10: The Hunt Begins
