Episode 21: "Rise of the Four"

Theme: Intense Action | Strategy | Synchronized Power Unleashed

[Scene 1: Abandoned Factory – Night | Establishing Shot]

Narration Box: "They thought surveillance was enough... They didn't expect resistance."

A moonlit, half-collapsed factory in the outskirts of Dhaka. The air buzzes with tension.

Inside, Nexus, Ajit, Harsh, and Ankit stand in a loose formation. They've sensed it — the hunters have become the hunted.

[Scene 2: Rooftops – Panel Build-Up]

Operatives with visors and EM rifles position themselves across buildings, locked in on thermal readings. A laser blip centers on Nexus's head.

Operative (whisper, comms): "Visual confirmed. Orders?"

A commanding voice replies: "Engage. Do not let them leave alive."

[Scene 3: Explosion of Chaos – Panel Burst]

BOOM!

A rocket slams into the side of the factory. Dust and fire erupt. Operatives swarm in.

Nexus (eyes glowing faint blue): "Ajit. Harsh. Ankit. Let's show them we're not just survivors."

Ajit smirks, melting into the floor's shadow. Harsh vanishes instantly. Ankit cracks his neck, grinning wildly.

Ankit: "Oye bhai, yeh toh video game ban gaya!"

[Scene 4: Harsh's Terror Begins]

One operative patrols a corridor.

Operative 1: "Zone 3 clear... Wait—"

Invisible whisper in his ear: "You ever felt your own bones shiver?"

His HUD glitches. Figures appear. Whispers grow. He drops his gun, screams.

Harsh (invisible, to himself): "Pagal banane ka asli maza tab hai... jab samne waala khud ko bhool jaaye."

[Scene 5: Ankit's Puppet Show]

Ankit locks eyes with an agent.

Ankit: "Hello, puppet."

The agent jerks unnaturally, turning and firing at his own squad.

Operative 2: "Unit 5! What are you doing?!"

Ankit makes him moonwalk while shooting.

Ankit: "Michael Jackson bhi sharma jaaye..."

[Scene 6: Ajit's Shadows Strike]

Ajit emerges from the shadows behind three agents.

Silent, swift — blades forged from darkness slice through armor.

Ajit (calmly): "You live in the light. You die in the dark."

He vanishes again.

[Scene 7: Nexus Engages – Dimensional Rip]

An elite agent charges Nexus.

Nexus draws a symbol in the air. A thin crack forms — reality distorts.

The agent's bullet enters — but never comes out.

Nexus (coldly): "Your physics don't apply here."

He expands the crack and pulls two agents in. Time inside the rift slows to near-zero.

[Scene 8: Group Combo – Synchronized Mayhem]

Ajit jumps from the shadows, stabbing through Nexus's open dimension point — skewering an agent from behind.

Harsh causes panic via hallucinations — the enemies see their own teammates as monsters.

Ankit controls a panicked soldier and uses his grenades to blast open escape routes.

[Scene 9: Enemy's Trump Card Appears]

From the rooftop, a massive agent leaps down — cybernetic limbs glowing.

Code-name: A.R.G.O.S. Enforcer: "RAVEN-9"

RAVEN-9: "You are under the Surveillance Act Omega. Surrender."

He fires a gravity pulse — sends Ajit flying.

[Scene 10: Turning the Tide]

Harsh blinds him temporarily. Ankit hijacks his targeting system briefly. Nexus opens a dimensional wall behind him, causing Raven-9's own missile to strike from the rear.

Nexus: "We don't surrender. We adapt."

Ajit (bleeding): "And then we erase."

[Scene 11: Final Blow – Rise of the Four]

The four synchronize.

• Harsh makes two agents see 20 Nexus.

• Ankit controls a third to overload his own squad's weapons.

• Ajit's shadow blades rise from all sides.

• Nexus rips a dimensional hole to drain their energy.

They unleash a team finisher: Shadow Rift Mindstorm.

Explosion. Fade to white.

[Scene 12: Aftermath – Quiet Victory]

Smoke. Silence.

Bodies fallen. A lone surviving agent crawls.

Operative (whispers): "They aren't normal... They're... gods in human skin."

Nexus steps forward, cracking his neck.

Nexus : "Let this be your warning. We're done hiding.
