Chapter 19 - 'DAYUMMMM'{19}

🌫️ Opening Narration

Narrator:Vael'Korah built cages to protect the future.But time corrodes mercy.And now… the cages are breaking.

🧸 Scene 1: The Playground That Went Silent

Morning fog clings to a small neighborhood near Redfern Ridge.

Five-year-old children laugh on a cracked playground. A ball rolls. A swing creaks.

Then one child stops.

He clutches his chest.

Another child begins to cry — not in fear, but confusion.

Their shadows stretch unnaturally long.

Teachers rush forward.

Too late.

👁️ Scene 2: Monster Wombs Awaken

Symbols flare beneath tiny shirts — Brands, imperfect and unstable.

The children scream as their bodies change:

Eyes glowing wrong

Voices overlapping with something older

Bones shifting just enough to be unnatural

Not monsters yet.

Becoming.

Teacher (horrified):"They're just kids—!"

One child looks up.

Child (voice layered):"It hurts."

The ground trembles.

The Garden pulses miles away.

🚨 Scene 3: Nkumkani's Arrival

Nkumkani arrives first — frozen in place.

Monkey swears under his breath.

Chinelo covers her mouth, shaking.

Aino's face goes pale.

Aino (quiet):"The Brands are incomplete…They're too young."

The Monster Wombs inside the children panic, trying to grow too fast.

Nkumkani (through clenched teeth):"This isn't evolution.It's a malfunction."

👹 Scene 4: The Womb Breaks Free

One Brand shatters.

From the child's shadow, a Monster Womb manifests externally, unstable, shrieking — a mass of teeth, eyes, and raw instinct.

It lashes out wildly.

Monkey fires.

The shots do nothing.

Aino forms water blades, slicing tendrils away.

Chinelo screams as her veins glow — her mutation reacting to the Womb.

Chinelo:"It's calling to me!"

The creature grows stronger.

🎪 Scene 5: Enter Jablonski Jesteer

A slow clap echoes.

A man steps from behind a burnt-out ice cream truck.

Painted grin. Torn clown coat. Eyes too sharp.

Jablonski Jesteer:"Wow… kids turning into monsters?That's dark. Even for me."

Reality warps around him — colors bending like wet paint.

Monkey yells:

Monkey:"Who the hell are you?!"

Jablonski tilts his head.

Jablonski:"I imagine things.And the universe agrees."

🌀 Scene 6: Imagination Becomes Violence

Jablonski snaps his fingers.

The ground turns into a checkerboard.

A giant cartoon mallet slams down on the Monster Womb — not funny, not soft.

Reality cracks.

The Womb shrieks, trying to adapt.

Jablonski (laughing):"No no no—you don't get a second act."

He imagines scissors cutting a shadow.

The Monster Womb splits — dissolving into nothing.

Silence.

The children collapse unconscious, alive… but changed forever.

🌌 Scene 7: Somewhere Else — Fallout Watches

In another universe, far beyond the ALL Tree…

A cosmic entity stirs.

A mass of broken stars and collapsing timelines.

Its name echoes through voids:

Fallout.

It watches the Garden.

It watches Jablonski.

Fallout (voice like collapsing galaxies):"Containment has failed."

Entire realities flicker behind it — destroyed, harvested, erased.

Fallout:"I will correct the imbalance."

Something begins moving toward the Primecoreverse.

🌑 Scene 8: Aftermath

Sirens approach.

Jablonski is already gone — leaving behind a balloon tied to nothing.

Nkumkani kneels beside the children.

Nkumkani (low):"This has crossed a line."

Aino stares at the cracked Brand fragments.

Aino:"The Garden isn't waiting anymore."

Monkey reloads.

Monkey:"And now clowns can rewrite reality."

Chinelo whispers:

Chinelo:"What if we're next?"

The ground answers with a low, distant heartbeat.

🌿 Closing Narration

Narrator:When children become vessels…when monsters need mercy…and when gods begin to notice—

Narrator:the Garden no longer hides.

The fence creaks.

The harvest accelerates.
