Chapter 6 - Episode 6: “The Savior’s Return”

Opening Scene: The Singularity Temple

Deep within the core of Neo-Tokyo, beneath layers of tech and ruins, lies a forgotten temple — a blend of ancient stone and futuristic machinery. Giant glowing pillars line a circular chamber, where cloaked figures kneel in silence.

A mysterious female voice echoes through the chamber:

"The time has come…"

A tall, regal woman steps from the shadows. Her face is obscured, but her aura radiates command. Her voice is calm, but laced with fire.

High Oracle:

"After centuries of silence… our Savior has returned."

The cloaked figures all lower their heads. The air vibrates with energy.

High Oracle (raising her arms):

"He who was lost in the Rift… now walks among us once more. The Guardian of Balance — the one fated to end the Inversion War… has been reborn."

The sigil of twin colors — red and blue — pulses on the temple walls.

Scene 1: Aran's Restless Mind

Meanwhile, Aran sits alone in his apartment, unable to sleep. The pendant from Mira glows faintly in his hand. He stares at it, memories flashing in fragments: war… fire… a promise… Mira's tear-streaked face.

WD (thinking):

"A savior? A Guardian? That's not me. I'm just… some shut-in kid who got dragged into this."

A voice whispers faintly in his mind — not Mira's, but one he doesn't recognize yet:

"You were never 'just' anything. You were chosen."

Scene 2: Kiyomi Notices Something's Wrong

Kiyomi watches him from the hallway, concern growing. She holds a sketchbook where she's been drawing symbols—without knowing why.

The same twin sigil appears in her art.

Kiyomi (thinking):

"Why do I keep seeing these shapes in my dreams...? And why do I feel like I'm losing him... again?"

Scene 3: Mira's Secret Mission

Mira, meanwhile, walks through an abandoned station, meeting with another figure — a young man with a mechanical arm and glowing green eyes: Kazen.

Kazen:

"So… it's true. He awakened the Twin Blade?"

Mira (nods):

"But he's not ready. And worse… I think the Order knows."

Kazen (sighs):

"Then it's only a matter of time before they come for him. Or worse… he remembers everything."

Mira lowers her eyes, guilt washing over her.

Mira:

"I'm scared, Kazen. If he remembers who I was to him... he might not forgive me."

Scene 4: Oracle's Vision

Back in the Singularity Temple, the High Oracle steps into a glowing pool — a liquid memory matrix that reveals fragments of the past and future.

She sees WD as the Guardian, standing atop a broken world, his sword burning with light.

Behind him, Mira, in full battle armor, is falling… dying.

High Oracle (whispers):

"The prophecy was real. He will either save this world… or burn it down."

Ending Scene: Destiny Approaches

Aran is outside, walking near a forgotten shrine in the city.

As he reaches the gates, he hears a voice — not Mira's, not the Oracle's — a new one.

Mysterious Woman (echoing):

"Aran. Savior of two worlds. Will you run from your past… or embrace it?"

The shrine glows. A portal opens before him — not like the others. It shows not a monster… but a version of himself in ancient armor, looking straight at him.

WD (shaken):

"That's… me?"
