Scene 1 – City Destruction
Night – A burning city, people's screams fill the sky, demons in the form of bones, with broken bodies and mouths open like wolves, attack everything.
The street is covered in smoke. One demon grabs a child and screams, but before it can sink its claws in...
"Fuuuuuu!!"
A white and gold beam cuts through the air and slices the demon in half!
A shadow appears amidst the smoke, with blond hair and eyes like the South Pole... walking confidently, a sword on his back and two pistols at his sides...
Dream (with a cold smile):
> "Good evening... Did you hear the city is serving barbecue tonight?"
He jumps up, spins around, fires a shot at a demon's head, slices another with his Kyubi sword, and in one move, wipes out the rest.
A moment of silence, the bodies burning with energy, then a blond-haired, brown-eyed man appears from the rooftops and jumps out.
John (landing lightly):
> "Why did you kill them all? You should have left me a few."
Dream (twisting his sword and bringing it back):
> "It's your fault for not hurrying up, old man."
John (laughing and lighting a cigarette):
> "You're still young and acting like a king... but I have to admit, I cut them like paper."
Dream and John walk through the shattered streets.
Dream:
"John, you know my goal is to become a great demon slayer..." Dream laughs lightly.
"I'm like that, anyway."
John, with a light, sarcastic laugh:
"You need to tone down your confidence, kid."
They walk through the shattered streets, smoke trailing behind them, when suddenly they hear another scream coming from a narrow alley.
Dream (looking toward the voice):
> "Time for round two?"
John (blowing out smoke):
> "Let me beat you this time..."
But suddenly, the ground explodes in front of them, and a massive demon creature emerges—twice the size of a human, with black eyes and swords embedded in its back, breathing fire.
Dream (half-smiling):
> "Oh... a Level 3 demon?"
John (grabbing his weapon):
> "We should test your training, son of Eva."
Scene 2 - Street Fight
The demon roars with a building-shaking voice, swords protruding from its back, black eyes glowing.
Beast (in double voice):
> "Son of Ethan... you've finally appeared... your blood will awaken the darkness."
John (raising an eyebrow):
> "Speaking? Wow, they've got personalities."
Dream (smiling and raising the Kyubi sword):
> "You talk a lot... can you hit as hard as him?"
The demon lunges at them with unexpected speed, striking the ground with such force that it explodes beneath them.
John backs away lightly, firing two shots from his pistols that explode in the monster's chest, but the armor protects him.
John:
> "Tougher than I expected."
Dream (screaming excitedly):
> "Great! I like this kind!"
Dream runs up the wall, jumps, and lands on the monster with a sword strike from above, slicing through its armor. The monster screams and attacks with its claws.
A loud clash occurs—Dream's sword against the monster's claw—sparks fly.
Demon:
> "I'll bleed you... to the very last drop!"
John (from a distance, loading his weapon):
> "Hey, take a step back, Dream... I have a surprise!"
Dream (quickly jumps back):
> "Don't hit me by accident, old man!"
John fires an anti-demon grenade—it explodes in the monster's face, severing part of its head and exposing its skull.
The monster falls to its knees, breathing heavily.
Dream (calmly walks over to it, raising the Kyubi sword above its head):
> "Say hello to my father..."
He stabs the monster in the heart, exploding red and black dust. The sword glows for a moment, then quiets down.
Silence.
John (slowly clapping):
> "Nice... clean and fast. I didn't expect you to grow up that much."
Dream (wipes his sword):
> "I'm not the same kid I raised, John..."
John (looking at the destruction):
> "And that's what scares me."

End of scene - Mysterious glimpse
John and Dream are laughing. The shadow of a distant tower appears, a tall shadow watching them. His eyes glow white.
️ Mysterious voice (distant):
> "The heir... has finally awakened."
The scene shifts to a dark temple, where fires dance at the tips of torches. An old man in a gray scarf stands before a group of people, some soldiers, some poor, their eyes filled with fear and curiosity.
Narrator (Old Man):
> "It is said his name was Ethan... a demon who bowed to neither hell nor king.
In a time of darkness, Ethan decided to turn the tables on his kind... he declared war on the demons."
The people listen in silence, only the sound of fire and whispers filling the room.
The narrator continues, his voice growing more terrifying:
> "But what no one knows... is that he disappeared.
For five thousand years, no trace of him was seen.
Some said he died...others said a demon sealed him.
Until that day...the day he reappeared.
He wasn't the same, but he was like someone who transcended the boundaries of demons and humans."
The scene shows Ethan's shadow walking through a land littered with burned corpses, blood dripping onto his sword. He walks through a demonic army alone.
Narrator in a thunderous voice:
> "Killed them... 20,009 million demons...in minutes!
He crushed them like a tornado crushes autumn leaves.
And finally...with his hand alone, he closed the gate to hell."
The image of the gate closing with a massive explosion of red light is shown, and the screams of the demons fade away.
The scene turns back to the people, some terrified, some astonished, and then one of them asks:
"And is he dead?"
The narrator smiles mysteriously and says:
> "This question... is what makes us tremble every night. Because whoever kills Hell itself... cannot die."
:
After the narrator's scene and its echoes that kept ringing in people's ears...
The scene suddenly shifts to the ruined city, smoke rising from burning buildings, and the bodies of demons evaporating. John stands on the roof of a dilapidated building, watching Dream, who stands at the edge, his sword at his back and his face covered in dust and smoke.
John (puffing at a cigarette, in a serious tone):
> "This place is dead. Why, Oud, is it fit to live in? We need to start over... out of sight."
Dream (turning to him with a sarcastic smile):
> "So that means we'll build an organization from scratch? A place where we hang heads and drink tea?"
John (smiling):
> "More than that... A center. A castle where our name becomes a nightmare for every demon." Call it what you want... but from today, we begin the war."
John opens an old paper map marked with demon infestations and points to a remote area with mountains and thick darkness.
John:
> "This area has been deserted for fifty years. No one goes near it. It's perfect... and the tunnels underneath connect the upper and lower worlds."
Dream looks at the map, then tightens his gloves.
Dream:
> "Okay... we'll go there, build the base, and start snapping the horns of the first one that shows up."
John chuckles lightly and says as he descends the stairs:
> "But don't delay. I'm tired of working alone, you slacker."
The camera follows them as they ride an old motorcycle, which advances down the road, leaving smoke and fading daylight in its wake.
