(OPENING SCENE]
FADE IN
A dystopian city.
Neon lights flicker across highrise skyscrapers. Rain pours. Holographic ads glitch mid-air.
A robotic female voice echoes.
" Year 47 after the silence.... Population stable.... No anomalies detected."
A beat.
Static.
".... Error"
EXT. WASTELAND OUTSKIRTS - NIGHT
Rain fell like static.
Not soft. Not gentle.
But sharp — like the sky itself was glitching and tearing apart.
Neon lights flickered and blinked across flooded streets as towering skyscrapers hummed with artificial life. Screens pulsed. Drones buzzed overhead. Electricity flowed like blood through the veins of Neo-Eden.
And yet...
It felt empty.
A girl stood alone on a rooftop.
Long light purple hair danced and flowed in the wind, strands glowing faintly under the city's artificial glow.
She wore a long black hooded trench coat made of cotton material with big purple lines on the edge of the hood, sleeves, shoulder and hems of the coat. A purple hex symbol was imprinted on the back of the coat.
She wore long dark purple cargo pants with layered pockets and black straps with mechanical buckles with a black utility belt and black chunky combat boots with glowing purple symbols at the bottom of the soles. She had on fingerless gloves with a black sports bra, it's sleeves wrapping round her neck, a diamond shaped hole was cut out from the chest area
Zora Voss.
Her boots rested on the edge, looking down at the city below.
"Still breathing" she muttered.
Her voice was calm and detached, almost like a child that had grown tired of a toy.
Behind her, a mechanical hum grew louder and louder.
She didn't turn.
"I told you," a voice echoed from the shadows " running just makes it worse."
Zora sighed.
"You people always say that."
She turned slowly.
Three Valkyr mercenaries stepped forward — armor gleaming under neon light, rifles humming with energy.
Their leader raised her weapon.
"Zora Voss, You are classified as a Level -Red anomaly. Please surrender peacefully".
Zora tilted her head.
"...or what?".
The mercenary's visor flickered.
"...or we use force".
A pause.
Then—
Zora smiled.
"Yeah...I figured".
BOOM!!!
The rooftop exploded beneath her feet.
She lauched forward— faster than human.
The world slowed.
No—
She sped up.
Bullets fired directly — but to her, they were drifting like falling leaves.
She twisted mid-air, boots slamming into the first mercenary's chest.
CRACK!
Armor dented inward. The soldier flew back, crashing through a steel vent.
"WHAT—?!" the second shouted.
Too late.
Zora was already there.
Her first collided with the rifle — shattering it into sparks and pieces.
Then—
A pulse of violet energy burst from her palm, The mercenary dropped instantly.
The third one activated a blade.
"Engaging Aether Sync!"
A glowing edge formed in her hand.
She charged.
Fast. Precise. Trained.
Zora's eyes flickered and glowed a bright purple with nebula swirls.
Purple light surged.
"Yeah...". She whispered, stepping forward.
"I can also do that too."
Their blades clashed.
She caught it. Barehanded.
Energy screamed against her glove— but didn't cut through.
The mercenary froze shocked.
"That's not — possible —"
Zora leaned closer.
"You talk too much".
She twisted —
SNAP!
The blade shattered. A kick followed, sending the mercenary over the edge of the building.
Silence.
Only rain.
Zora exhaled slowly.
"... annoying".
Then—
A red beam locked unto her chest.
She looked up.
A drone hovered above. And behind it—
A voice spoke.
Cold. Controlled.
"Subject confirmed."
Zora's expression hardened.
"... great."
The voice continued speaking.
"Zora Voss, You will not escape again."
A figure stepped into the rooftop.
White-Black armor.
Black hair. Red eyes.
Mechanical construct humming with power.
Commander Seraphine.
Zora smirked. "So you came yourself"
Seraphine's gaze didn't waver.
"I'll admit, I was curious."
Her mechanical arm shifted— forming a blade of pure energy.
"You've survived for too long."
Zora rolled her shoulders.
"Yeah, I get that a lot."
Then—
They moved.
The impact cracked the rooftop.
Seraphine's strike came first — fast, calculated.
Zora barely blocked.
Energy surged through her arm— pain biting into her nerves.
She slid back.
"...okay,". Zora muttered.
"You're different "
Seraphine didn't respond. She attacked again.
This time, Relentless. Every strike precise. Every moment efficient.
Zora dodged— barely. A slash cut her jacket.
Another grazed her cheek. Blood mixed with rain.
"You're slowing down" Seraphine said.
Zora grinned. "Nah"
Her eyes glowed brighter
"I'm warming up"
Then—
Something changed
The air warped. The neon lights flickered wildly.
Seraphine paused
"... What is that frequency?"
Zora looked down at her hand
Purple energy spiraled— unstable
Wild. Alive.
"I don't know," she said quietly
"...but I think it likes me."
She vanished.
Not moved— vanished.
Seraphine's eyes widened — Too late.
Zora reappeared behind her.
A punch—
BOOM!!
Seraphine skidded across the rooftop.
Armor cracked slightly.
She stood. Slowly.
"... interesting"
Alarms blared across the city.
Women and children were looking around in confusion.
High above—
Inside the Eden Tower—
The Higher ups watched.
One spoke.
"... she's syncing."
Another responded.
"No"
A pause.
"... she's overriding."
Back on the rooftop—
Zora clutched her head.
"Ghhhh—!"
Voices echoed in her mind.
Fragments. Data. Memories that weren't hers.
A single phrase repeated.
REWRITE PROTOCOL INITIATED
Seraphine stepped forward.
"You're not human"
Zora looked up. Eyes glowing violently.
"...yeah."
A faint smile.
"I've been starting to think that too."
And then—
The city lights flickered.
All of them.
All at once.
