Chapter 3 - Chapter Three - "The Blood Trace"

Scene 1: Location: An abandoned factory outside the city. A large, ruined place.

Dream and John sneak in after receiving a signal about a "huge demon" responsible for the massacre of civilians.

John:

> "Be careful... the smell of blood is everywhere."

Dream (jokingly):

> "For God's sake, I told you to have breakfast before I came."

Suddenly, a huge demon attacks them, its charred body, its eyes glowing with coals, attacking from the ground with wires resembling fiery spikes.

John counters the attack with his pistols, and Dream attacks with his sword.

Scene 2: During the fight, the demon begins to speak provocatively. Dream:

> "You're Ethan's son... the one who abandoned his family. I heard about your mother... she was screaming when they killed her. Weak... like you."

"What a shame, Ethan's son! He couldn't even save his mother. You're a disgrace to the demon world and to your father."

Here, the demon quickly jumps on John, but John easily dodges it and tries to hit him with his hand. He says excitedly, "John:

"Come on, Redfied. Let's show them our power."

John hits the demon hard and throws him on the iron, but he gets up and says, "Demon:

"Hahahaha. Do you think I'll die easily?"

Here, John senses danger and looks at Dream.

He freezes in place for a moment.

His face changes.

His eyes begin to glow red.

Two red scars appear on his face, one on each cheek.

The air around him begins to shake.

His eyes turn red, and the pupils become slit-like.

John notices the change.

John (surprised):

> "Oh no... his demonic half has awakened."

Dream (angry and calm):

> "I won't leave a single piece of you intact..."

Here, the demon is shocked by the transformation and surprised.

Scene 3: Dream leaps up at high speed and hits the demon.

A direct hit breaks one of its horns.

His style becomes more violent, his movements unpredictable, and full of power.

The demon tries to escape. He screams in pain.

John:

> "It's okay... Keep it for you."

Dream stabs the demon in the heart and whispers:

> "This is for my mother."

Before he dies, he says, "A half-demon... does this... to me... Was... Ethan worse than... this?"

Scene 4: After the fight ends, Dream returns, breathing heavily.

His eyes return to normal and the scars disappear.

John (sitting next to him):

> "What is this?" Your appearance has changed... These weren't human eyes... but they weren't entirely demonic."

"I think something inside you is waking up..."

Dream (silent for a moment, then smiles tiredly):

> "You've slept too long... It's time to wake up."

John, looking at him nervously,

"Yes... but this doesn't look good."

Final Scene - End of Episode Three

Setting: A dark alley in another city, rain falling, people screaming in the distance, and a demon being dragged by its foot, trying to escape.

Demon (in a trembling voice):

> "Go back! I'm just following orders! It's not my fault!" I follow the Shadow Lord's orders!!"

A female voice from behind, cold and confident:

> "And I only follow my heart... My heart says: Kill you."

Slow footsteps are heard from the darkness... Suddenly, Lady appears, wearing black leather, holding a huge bazooka over her shoulder, her face covered in an angry, cold machine gun.

Her eyes: the right one is red, the left one is green. Suddenly, both turn red.

The demon screams and tries to attack.

Lady jumps over him and fires a single shot from the bazooka...

The demon explodes completely, and blood splatters on the back wall.

The camera zooms in on her face as she says:

> "I almost got you... you who ruined my life."

Then she raises her head to the sky... and smiles a sad smile.

The scene cuts to the sound of loud drumbeats and a black screen.

White text appears: "END OF CHAPTER 3"
