Episode 11: “The First Clash!”
[Opening Scene – Arena Grounds | Morning]
Crowds cheer wildly. The five stadiums are shown one by one—Forest, Stone, Mist, Sand, and Fire. A grand announcer voice echoes over the arena.
Announcer:
"Let the Village Competition... BEGIN! First round fighters, enter your stadiums!"
Camera pans to the four main characters walking toward their designated arenas, each with determined expressions.
Tenzai (internal monologue):
(grinning)
"This is it… Time to prove I belong on the Ultimate Killing Journey."

[Scene 1 – Mist Stadium | Round 1 Match]
The Mist Stadium is thick with fog. Tenzai steps onto the stone floor, barely able to see. A mysterious boy, Riku, stands across the field, smirking.
Riku:
"You’ll never land a hit in my fog. You’ll be lost before you even get close."
Tenzai narrows his eyes, sparks forming around his fists.
Tenzai:
"We’ll see about that."
Riku vanishes into the mist. Footsteps echo from all directions. Tenzai spins, alert.
Tenzai (thinking):
"I can’t see… but water carries vibration."
He slams his hand to the ground, spreading a ripple of water around him. The water trembles slightly on his left.
Tenzai:
"Found you! Thunder Pulse Burst!"
A burst of electricity zaps the mist away for a moment, revealing Riku mid-attack. Tenzai charges forward with Electric Water Whiplash, a spinning strike of water and thunder.

"Winner: Tenzai!"
Crowd erupts in cheers. Tenzai smiles and walks off with confidence.

[Scene 2 – Fire Stadium | Round 1: Midori vs Kaen]
Kaen, a fiery boy with flaming fists, cracks his knuckles. Midori calmly steps forward, expression unreadable.
Kaen:
"You don’t belong in the Fire Stadium. This is for real fighters."
Midori:
"Strength isn’t always about flames and fists."
Kaen dashes with flaming jabs. Midori evades effortlessly, scattering small seeds onto the ground. The seeds glow and burst into vines.
Kaen:
"Tricks won’t stop me!"
Kaen tries to leap, but vines wrap around his legs. Midori charges with glowing hands.
Midori:
"Palm of the Forest Guardian!"
She strikes his chest with a forceful palm. Kaen is launched into the air and crashes to the ground, unconscious.
Announcer:
"Winner: Midori!"
The crowd watches in awe. Midori bows respectfully before walking off.

[Scene 3 – Fire Stadium | Round 1: Eva vs Yuri]
Eva twirls gracefully, ready. Her opponent, Yuri, floats on air currents, blades of wind circling her.
Yuri:
"I don’t go easy on pretty girls."
Eva (smiling):
"Good. I don’t like easy."
They clash fast. Eva’s afterimages dodge wind slices. She flickers between positions using Light Mirage Dance.
Yuri (frustrated):
"Stop moving!"
Eva appears behind her.
Eva:
"Sun Ray Kick!"
She lands a glowing kick to Yuri’s back, sending her out of bounds.
Announcer:
"Winner: Eva!"
Eva winks at the crowd, then looks up to spot Tenzai watching from across the arena. She blushes slightly.

[Scene 4 – Forest Stadium | Round 1: Zetsuya vs Goro]
Goro stomps in with tree-trunk arms and wild hair. Zetsuya stands still, shadows dancing around his feet.
Goro:
"You look weak, quiet boy."
Zetsuya:
"...That’s your mistake."
Goro charges, shaking the ground. Zetsuya sinks into the shadows and reappears behind Goro, wrapping him in Dark Echo Chains.
Goro (struggling):
"Let me go!"
Zetsuya:
"Silent Destruction."
The shadows explode around Goro, knocking him out instantly. Zetsuya silently walks off the field.
Announcer:
"Winner: Zetsuya!"
The crowd whispers about his dangerous aura.

[Ending Scene – Backstage Area]
Tenzai, Midori, Eva, and Zetsuya gather backstage, each having passed Round 1. They nod at each other, acknowledging the challenge ahead.
Tenzai:
"Next round’s gonna be wild..."
A shadowy boy with glowing eyes is seen entering the Mist Stadium for his fight. He grins unnaturally.
Possessed Boy (whispers):
"I hope you’re ready, Tenzai..."
Camera zooms in on Tenzai’s face as he senses the dark presence approaching.
