EARTH — ABANDONED OUTSKIRTS

Wind tears through the broken field as the young boy kneels in the dust, gripping his head.

His voice shakes.

Unknown Boy: Make it… stop…

A ring of mixed energy erupts around him — half glowing white, half swirling black. The shockwave cracks the earth in every direction.

His left eye flashes angel blue.
His right eye burns demonic red.

Unknown Boy: Why… am I like this…?

The ground beneath him shatters.

KEN & MASO — CLOSING IN

Ken: Yeah… that’s definitely him.
Maso: That pressure is unreal. A child shouldn’t have that much power.
Ken: Lucky for us, I don’t care.

Maso glares.

Maso: Ken… this isn’t a game. If that kid snaps—
Ken: Then we catch him before he snaps.

Ken flips his coin.

It lands on heads midair.

Ken: Good. That means we’ll reach him in time.

Maso: …I really hate that coin.

They accelerate, tearing through clouds with sonic cracks.

THE BOY’S TRANSFORMATION

The boy’s breathing becomes sharp, unstable.

Unknown Boy: Get out… get out of my head…!

A burst of white angelic feathers erupts from his back —
but halfway, they burn away into black demonic ashes.

A faint silhouette begins forming behind him — a monstrous, twisted version of himself.

Nanto’s voice whispers:

Nanto: Let me out…

Unknown Boy: STOP!!

The boy slams his fists into the ground, creating a crater.

His energy skyrockets.

KEN & MASO ARRIVE

A massive explosion of mixed light erupts ahead.

Maso: Brace!!

The shockwave hits them mid-flight. Maso protects Ken with a barrier of holy light.

Ken: That was him?!
Maso: Yes… and he’s losing control!

They land hard, dust exploding under their feet.

In the center of the crater, they finally see him —
a boy with one angel wing trying to form, one demonic claw dragging from his arm, aura flickering violently.

Ken (eyes wide): That kid is—

The boy snaps his head toward them.

Unknown Boy: STAY… AWAY!!

His aura explodes toward them like a tidal wave.

KEN TAKES THE HIT

Maso: KEN—!

Ken steps in front of Maso.

Ken: Don’t worry. I got this.

The energy slams into Ken —
and a streak of golden light shoots across his body as luck redirects the blast into the sky.

Ken: Whoa… that almost killed me.
He grins.
Ken: I like him already.

THE BOY COLLAPSES

The boy gasps, power fading, knees buckling.

Unknown Boy: I… I don’t want to hurt anyone…

His body flickers between forms — angel… demon… angel… demon…

Then he collapses face-first into the ground.

Ken: MASO!
Maso rushes forward and catches him.

Maso: He’s burning up… his powers are fighting each other.

Ken: So what now?

Maso lifts the boy onto his back.

Maso: Now we take him to Spirit.

Ken: He’s gonna freak out.
Maso: We all are.

They take off into the sky, carrying the first half-breed in existence.
