Season 2, Episode 2 – "The Last Step Together"
Script Format
---
[OPENING SCENE – FOREST PATH – MORNING]
Tenzai, Midori, Zetsuya, and Ragnar walk down a long dirt road together, trees towering over them. Their bags are light, their hearts are heavier.
TENZAI (grinning)
"Crazy, right? After all this time, we’re finally out here. Just us… and the unknown."
MIDORI (smiling)
"It feels… peaceful. But also like the calm before the storm."
ZETSUYA (hands in pockets, voice low)
"Don't relax too much. Danger’s always closer than you think."
RAGNAR (snorts)
"You three sound like old villagers already."
They laugh together lightly, tension fading for a moment.

[SCENE 2 – SMALL RIVER CROSSING]
They arrive at a sparkling river. Tenzai splashes water at Midori, who retaliates by creating vines that flick water back at him. Zetsuya watches silently but smirks. Ragnar crosses with giant stone steps he summons.
MIDORI (laughing)
"This might be the last time we just... play around."
TENZAI (staring at the sky)
"Yeah… maybe that's why it feels so real."
---
[SCENE 3 – CAMPFIRE AT NIGHT]
They set up a small campfire. The moon hangs high. Shadows flicker across their faces.
MIDORI (serious now)
"When tomorrow comes, we won't be side by side anymore."
ZETSUYA (staring into the flames)
"Each step we take after this... it’s ours alone."
TENZAI (clenching fist)
"But no matter how far apart we get, we’re still aiming for the same thing."
RAGNAR (gruffly)
"To be the strongest."
They all silently nod.
MIDORI (whispering)
"And survive."
---
[SCENE 4 – SUNRISE – FINAL CROSSROADS]
At the break of dawn, they stand at a huge, ancient crossroads. Four massive signs point in different directions: Misty Highlands, Forbidden Forest, Abyssal Caves, Desert of Erosion.
TENZAI (stepping forward)
"This is it."
MIDORI (smiling warmly)
"Let's promise… no matter how strong we become, we’ll meet again someday."
ZETSUYA (half-smiling)
"I'll be so strong you won’t even recognize me."
RAGNAR (gruff, but with a glint of respect)
"Heh. Good. Makes crushing you later more satisfying."
They fist bump again — harder this time, with real weight behind it.
Slow-motion as they each turn down their path, walking into the unknown.

[ENDING SCENE – SOLO SHOTS]
Tenzai climbs cliffs into the Misty Highlands, lightning storms roaring above him.
Midori steps deep into the Forbidden Forest, giant trees closing around her.
Zetsuya walks into the darkness of the Abyssal Caves, his shadow growing behind him.
Ragnar strides across the sun-blasted Desert of Erosion, endless dunes before him.
TENZAI (V.O.)
"No matter how dark the path… we’ll carve our names into this world. Stronger than anyone before us."
