EPISODE 9 – “Lightning Reborn”
---
Scene 1 – Lightning Dojo: The Training Begins
[INT. LIGHTNING DOJO – TRAINING HALL – EARLY MORNING]
(Tenzai trains relentlessly — hands blistered, body aching.
Master watches silently as Tenzai is struck by dozens of lightning blasts while meditating inside a storm barrier.)
Master:
"You seek power not just for yourself... but to protect something.
Good. But remember, true lightning only strikes when it knows where it must fall."
(Tenzai opens his eyes, his aura surging in harmony with the lightning around him.)
Tenzai (determined):
"Then I’ll strike harder than ever before."

Scene 2 – 4 Months Later: Lightning City Grand Tournament
[EXT. LIGHTNING CITY – GRAND STADIUM – DAY]
(Crowds cheer. Giant floating screens display the Final Round:
TENZAI vs. MICHAEL, both wearing Lightning Dojo robes.)
Announcer:
"Final match of the Grand Tournament!
A duel between two rising prodigies of the Lightning Dojo!"
(Tenzai now stands tall — more mature, controlled, and glowing with evolved thunder aura. Michael grins confidently, flames dancing in his eyes.)
Michael:
"You’ve come far, Tenzai. Let’s see if you can keep up with me now!"

Scene 3 – Final Battle: Tenzai vs. Michael
[INT. ARENA – BATTLE STAGE]
(The battle begins. Michael uses fire and pressure-based attacks, warping the air.
Tenzai dodges with refined speed, crackling with thunder energy.
He charges forward — THUNDER FIST vs. FLAME BARRAGE.)
(Tenzai gets thrown back, skidding across the stage. He breathes in, calms himself.)
Tenzai (thinking):
"Remember Master’s words... Focus the storm. Don't waste it."
(His aura condenses — Thunder Core Mode activates:
lightning tightens around his arms and legs. He vanishes in a blink —
Lightning Mirage Step!
Appears above Michael — Thunder Breaker Slam!
Michael is blasted to the ground, unable to rise.)

Scene 4 – Victory and Recognition
[EXT. STADIUM – POST-MATCH]
(Crowd roars. Master nods from the stands.
Tenzai bows respectfully, no arrogance — only quiet strength.)
Announcer:
"The winner of the Grand Tournament — Tenzai of the Lightning Dojo!"

Scene 5 – Dojo Hall: Meditation and News
[INT. DOJO MAIN HALL – NIGHT]
(Tenzai kneels in deep meditation beneath a thunder symbol.
The air is quiet — until slow footsteps approach from behind.)
???:
"Tenzai..."
(Tenzai slowly opens one eye.)
Tenzai:
"Who’s there?"
Messenger (solemn):
"The Village of Dawns... it’s gone.
An evil monster named... Glory Demonator destroyed it."
(Tenzai’s eyes widen in shock. He slowly turns his head.
Silent. Furious. Broken.)
Tenzai (quietly):
"...What?"
[FADE TO BLACK]

Narrator (voice-over):
"While the storm rose within him, the roots of his soul were scorched behind him.
Now, only rage and resolve remain. The path ahead has changed forever."
