🌀 MUTANT: Embers of Dawn

✴ EPISODE 2: “Out of the Dome”

🌇 SCENE 1: Walking Through the Town Streets

Ren and Aya walk through the dusty, half-rebuilt streets of a city called Fukuro — a neutral zone recovering after the war.

Aya has a small coin purse strapped to her hip.

Mutants and humans move awkwardly side by side. There’s tension in the air — stares, whispers, unwanted attention.

Ren: “Feels weird being out here…”

Aya (grinning): “Better than being cooped up behind Takeshiro’s dome.”

Suddenly —

A woman in a hood brushes past Aya and snatches her coin purse.

Aya: “HEY!”

The woman runs off—

But Aya’s eyes glow faintly, and she teleports in front of the woman, snatches her purse back, and lightly kicks her.

Aya: “Try harder next time.”

She walks back to Ren.

Ren (teasing): “Bad girl. What’s up with you?”

Aya (playful): “Let’s just go.”

They laugh—but around the corner…

🌑 SCENE 2: AMBUSH – The Mutant Gang

A group steps out, surrounding them.

Gang Name: “Ash Fangs”

💀 GANG LEADER:

Name: Raku

Power: Body Enhance (Born Mutant Type) – Bones like steel, muscles super-charged from birth.

Raku: “That was a smooth move, teleport girl. But this ain’t your playground.”

Three more step forward:

1. Name: Kenzo

Power: Magnetic Palm

Can attract/repel metallic objects and armor pieces.

(Carries spiked bracers)

2. Name: Mii

Power: Heat Mirage

Bends light to become semi-invisible for a few seconds.

3. Name: Gorai

Power: Vibration Touch

Sends shockwaves through objects or people with his hands.

Raku (grinning): “We’re gonna need your gear, your money… and her.”

Ren steps in front of Aya.

Ren: “We’re not looking for trouble.”

Aya: “But it always finds us.”

🔥 SCENE 3: FIGHT STARTS

Aya teleports to Gorai and dropkicks him in the chest—he stumbles, but stays standing.

Gorai: “Tch. You're quick.”

He swings his hand — shockwave punches, and hits Aya mid-flip. She crashes into a trash bin.

Ren: “AYA!!”

Ren charges without thinking — tackles Gorai into a wall. They scrap dirty: punches, kicks, dust flying. Gorai tries to shock him again, but Ren bites down and slams him into the pavement with raw emotion.

Ren wins — breathing heavy.

💥 SCENE 4: RAKU VS REN / AYA VS MII

Raku steps in, cracking his knuckles.

Raku: “Let’s see what that little rage of yours can do.”

Aya vs Mii starts too — she can barely track Mii due to her invisibility bursts. Aya has to rely on prediction, timing, and wild teleportation jumps to avoid her curved dagger slashes.

🔥 FINAL CLASH:

Ren fights hard, using momentum and street tactics to match Raku’s brute strength. He takes a brutal punch to the gut—but grabs a metal pole and uses it to strike his back repeatedly.

Raku grabs Ren by the neck.

Raku: “You ain’t even awakened yet. You’re nothing.”

Suddenly—Ren’s hand starts glowing red-hot.

🔥 The metal pole melts slightly.

He smashes it into Raku’s face with a fire spark, knocking him down.

✨ AYA’S WIN:

Aya finally catches Mii mid-flicker, grabs her wrist, teleports above her, and drops her from mid-air. Not lethal, just enough to knock her out.

🛑 END SCENE:

The gang is down. Sirens in the distance. Local enforcers are coming.

Ren (panting): “Did I… just… burn that pole?”

Aya: “You're sparking up, Ren.”

They fist-bump, laughing weakly.
