ZEROZEN – Episode 3: “Team Z is Born”

[Scene – Outside the Assembly Hall]

Takumi and Shinobu walk side by side through the massive hallway toward the call room.

👦 TAKUMI:

"Shin, do you know why Ego’s calling all of us?"

🤓 SHINOBU (adjusting glasses):

"I don’t know for sure. But if I had to guess... he’s probably forming teams now."

👦 TAKUMI (wide-eyed):

"Teams?! But we’re Rank 5… the lowest."

🤓 SHINOBU:

"Yeah, I know. But let’s just see where this goes."

[Scene – Massive Hall of Players]

Hundreds of players in colored bibs stand in rows. The lights dim. A spotlight flashes on the stage. A tall figure walks out — Ego Eiro.

🧔 EGO (arms behind his back):

"Welcome, Rank 5 trash."

The players stiffen.

🧔 EGO:

"There are 8 teams. I will now assign you all randomly into squads. These teams will be your battlefield. Your survival starts now."

[Scene – Hologram Projects Names]

Team names flash across the screen:

Team B

Team D

Team F

Team X

Team M

Team H

Team G

Team Z

🧔 EGO (reading list):

"Team Z:

Takumi Raien,

Shinobu,

Kazama,

Kaido,

Rin,

Renji,

Goda,

Goro,

Haruki,

Emil,

Akira,

Riku,

Daiki."

[Scene – Takumi reacts immediately]

👦 TAKUMI (pumping fist):

"Yes! Yes!! Shinobu, we’re on the same team!"

🤓 SHINOBU (sighing):

"Takumi… you’re embarrassing me."

👦 TAKUMI:

"Ah, sorry, Shin."

🤓 SHINOBU (smirking slightly):

"Whatever. Let’s just go meet the rest of them."

[Scene – Team Z Locker Room]

Takumi and Shinobu step inside. A group of boys is already there, chatting or putting on boots. A tall, sharp-eyed guy smiles and walks over.

🧑 KAZAMA:

"Yo. You must be Takumi. I’m Kazama."

👦 TAKUMI (grinning):

"Nice name! Feels like a striker’s name."

Kazama laughs, then calls out:

🧑 KAZAMA:

"Kaido!"

A serious-looking left-footed guy walks up, stretching his arms.

🧒 KAIDO:

"Kaido. Left-back. Nice to meet you, Takumi."

👦 TAKUMI:

"Awesome. I’m Takumi."

A sudden burst of energy enters the room.

🧒 RENJI (smiling wildly):

"Yooooo! Name’s Renji! Midfield maestro! Fast talker, fast thinker, and fast fun!"

👦 TAKUMI:

"Wow, okay! You’re like five bottles of soda in one!"

🧒 RENJI (laughing):

"I know right? Oh—meet Goro!"

Goro waves from the corner, spinning a ball on his finger.

🧒 GORO:

"What's up?"

A large muscular boy jumps in and hugs Takumi and Shinobu hard.

🧑 GODA:

"Let’s goooo Team Z!! Brothers forever!"

🤓 SHINOBU (irritated):

"Physical touch... absolutely unnecessary."

🧑 GODA:

"Pfft. Pain in the ass, you are."

A calm boy with glasses waves shyly.

🧒 HARUKI:

"Hi… I’m Haruki. Uh, backup goalie, I guess."

Suddenly, a sharp voice rings out.

🧑 AKIRA:

"I am Akira — remember the name. I’m the best. Bow to me."

🧑 KAZAMA (chuckling):

"Don’t mind him. He’s just loud and delusional."

Emil smiles and gives a thumbs-up.

🧒 EMIL:

"I’m Emil. I play midfield. Excited to win."

Daiki does a backflip and lands.

🧒 DAIKI:

"I bring the flair!"

A calm boy with soft eyes enters the room last.

🧑 RIKU:

"Riku. Just… Riku."

🤓 SHINOBU (raising a brow):

"Hmm… I feel something inside you. Like a hidden aura."

Finally, a boy leans against a locker, arms crossed. His presence silences the room. It’s Rin.

🧑‍🦱 RIN:

"Welcome, Takumi."

👦 TAKUMI (smiling confidently):

"Let’s be rivals, Rin."

🧑‍🦱 RIN:

"I accept."
