Page 1 – Panel 1:
The scene opens with a dark, chaotic sky over Earth as a new wave of upgraded humanoid AIs descends. Thirty of them, bigger, faster, and more advanced than before, begin terrorizing the city, breaking through buildings, and attacking civilians in a terrifying display of power.
Page 2 – Panel 1:
Lena, standing in the middle of the chaos, grits her teeth and launches herself at the first humanoid, landing a powerful punch. But the humanoids are no longer the same—they block her attacks with ease and retaliate with deadly force.
Lena (thinking):
“These things are too strong... I can’t do this alone.”
Page 3 – Panel 1:
Lena is thrown backward, crashing into the ground with a heavy thud. She struggles to get up, blood trickling from her mouth, as the humanoids approach her.
Lena (gritting her teeth):
“Captain, I need backup... now!”
Page 4 – Panel 1:
Cut to Captain Felix Hawke in a command center, speaking into a communication device with urgency.
Captain (via comm):
“Lena, I can’t send anyone right now. We have to hope Evan returns with reinforcements... just hang in there!”
Page 5 – Panel 1:
Lena, visibly struggling, is almost overwhelmed by the humanoids as they close in on her, their sharp claws raised. She braces for impact, preparing for the worst.
Page 6 – Full-page spread:
Suddenly, a massive energy blast slices through the air, cutting down several of the humanoids in one swift motion. The remaining enemies are torn apart as Evan, accompanied by the Rebellion League, bursts onto the scene with overwhelming force.
Evan (landing next to Lena, helping her up):
“Sorry I’m late, but I had to finish something first.”
Page 7 – Panel 1:
Lena looks at Evan with a mix of disbelief and relief, still catching her breath as she stands up.
Lena (gritting her teeth):
“Where the hell have you been?! It’s been days, and Earth’s been under constant attack!”
Page 8 – Panel 1:
The Rebellion League, now back in full force, rushes to join the fight. Each member takes on their respective humanoids, demonstrating their new skills and increased strength since their last battle.
Mirage (to Lena):
“We’ve got this covered, don’t worry. Welcome to the party.”
Page 9 – Page spread:
Lena, understanding that Evan’s team has grown stronger, moves to assist the League in finishing off the remaining humanoids. The fight is intense but quick, as the League, with their newfound strength, dismantles the humanoid forces in brutal fashion.
Voltfist (grinning as he crushes a humanoid):
“Let’s wrap this up, yeah?”
Page 10 – Panel 1:
The battlefield is littered with the wreckage of the humanoids. The League and Lena stand victorious but bruised, their clothes torn and bloodied. They share a quiet moment of victory.
Lena (breathing heavily):
“Well, I’ll admit, that was impressive. You didn’t tell me your friends were this strong.”
Page 11 – Panel 1:
Cut to a secret government facility, where the Captain has summoned the team for a debrief. They are seated around a large, dimly lit table.
Captain (gesturing to a secure case):
“We need answers. These creatures... we’ve seen them before. The first attack, remember? Now they’re back, stronger than ever.”
Page 12 – Panel 1:
The Captain opens the secure case, revealing the mangled remains of both a beast from the first attack and the upgraded humanoid from the latest wave. The pieces are sealed in containment chambers, and the stench of alien biology fills the room.
Captain:
“We’re hoping one of your allies has the expertise to identify these creatures. We need to know who’s sending them—and why.”
Page 13 – Panel 1:
Phantomark, the Illusionist, leans in, examining the remains carefully.
Phantomark (musing):
“These aren’t ordinary constructs. The tech here is far beyond what Earth should have access to. Someone's pulling the strings, but who?”
Page 14 – Panel 1:
Mirage, the Shapeshifter, inspects the remains of the humanoid, her face tight with suspicion.
Mirage:
“I’ve seen tech like this before, in ancient ruins on other planets. This... this is someone with resources beyond any known empire. But why Earth?”
Page 15 – Panel 1:
Voltfist crosses his arms, glancing at Evan, who is staring at the remains intently, his mind working. He speaks with a concerned tone.
Voltfist:
“We’ve been fighting battles across galaxies, but Earth is still standing. Why target it? What do they want here?”
Page 16 – Panel 1:
Evan, deep in thought, finally speaks up, a grim look on his face.
Evan:
“If these attacks are connected to the Eclipse... then we’re dealing with something much bigger than we thought. Someone wants to finish what was started. The question is... who?”
Page 17 – Panel 1:
Captain Hawke nods, his face serious.
Captain:
“We’ve got to find out who’s behind this before they can escalate things further. The fate of Earth—and maybe more—is at stake.”
Page 18 – Panel 1:
The team looks at each other, the gravity of the situation sinking in. Lena stands alongside Evan, her expression resolute.
Lena (clenching her fist):
“We can’t wait around any longer. Let’s find out who’s behind this... and take them down.”
Page 19 – Panel 1:
The scene ends with the team, now unified and determined, preparing for their next steps in this dangerous, intergalactic mystery.
