NOVA BASE – MORNING
The team was scattered across the base—training, tuning gear, or quietly enjoying a rare peaceful morning.
Rayna sat in the comms room, going over mission logs when her phone buzzed.
CALLER ID: MOM & DAD
She blinked in surprise, then answered.
RAYNAHey, Mom? Dad?
RAYNA'S MOM (excitedly)Sweetheart! Guess what? We're in Orion City! Coming to see you today!
RAYNA'S DADWe miss you, Ray. It's been too long.
Rayna froze—half joy, half panic. She glanced at her Nova Morpher sitting quietly beside her.
RAYNAOh... wow, uh—okay! Yeah. Can't wait.
She ended the call. Her fingers tapped nervously on the console.
ZAYN (walking in)You okay?
RAYNA (quietly)My parents. They're visiting... today.
ZAYN (smiling)That's great news.
RAYNAIt is. I just didn't expect it... and I don't know how to explain everything.
EXT. CITY PARK – AFTERNOON
Rayna met her parents near a flower-lined path in the heart of Orion City. She wore a simple yellow blouse and a cautious smile.
Her mom hugged her tightly. Her dad ruffled her hair the way he always did.
RAYNA'S MOMYou look stronger. Taller too!
RAYNA'S DADStill playing chess with the universe?
RAYNA (smirking)Something like that...
They sat down on a bench together.
INT. ORION CITY – ELSEWHERE – SAME TIME
Suddenly, a tremor shook the air. Civilians gasped as a strange fog rolled in across the streets.
From it emerged a new monster—Riddlor, a gaunt, maze-faced being with a crown of spinning cubes.
RIDDLORLet's test the limits of your minds, little humans...
Buildings warped. Roads twisted into optical illusions. Signs became riddles.
Nova Force alarms blared.
INT. PARK – MOMENTS LATER
Rayna's morpher vibrated. Her eyes widened.
RAYNANo, not now...
RAYNA'S MOMRayna. Go.
RAYNA (startled)What?
RAYNA'S DADWe know. We've known. The late-night runs, the stories that didn't line up... We put it together.
RAYNA'S MOMWe couldn't be prouder. You protect people—even if it means hiding who you are.
Tears welled in Rayna's eyes, but she nodded.
RAYNAI'll be back. I promise.
EXT. CITY STREETS – BATTLEFIELD
Riddlor's games had disoriented even the bravest civilians. Zayn, Jett, Kael, Lyra, and Daiki were struggling with mental traps—each facing twisted versions of past fears and puzzles.
ZEVOR (over comms)The creature manipulates logic pathways and fear. Rayna is the optimal counter.
She arrived just in time.
RAYNA (firmly)Riddlor! If you like puzzles—try keeping up with a master.
She summoned her Nova Morpher, activating her yellow aura.
INTENSE BATTLE SEQUENCE
Jett was trapped in a looping hallway—but Rayna directed him out using hand signals and rhythm patterns.
Kael's strength-based attacks were useless against illusions, until Rayna gave him exact blind spots to strike.
Lyra and Daiki were stuck in a grid of shifting panels—Rayna mapped it in her mind like a chessboard and guided them through.
Zayn, despite his intellect, had begun doubting his logic—but Rayna stepped in calmly, solving a final riddle just in time.
RAYNA (to Riddlor)You forgot something, monster. Logic is power—but clarity is control.
She summoned her Nova Bow and shot directly through the monster's true core, hidden beneath its mask of puzzles.
Riddlor exploded in a burst of digital cubes.
EXT. CITY PARK – EVENING
Rayna returned to the bench. Her parents stood and opened their arms.
She ran into their hug.
RAYNA'S MOM (tearfully)We watched. From the screens. You were incredible.
RAYNA'S DADJust promise you'll stay you. The strategist. The daughter. The light.
RAYNAI promise.
INT. NOVA BASE – LATER
The team lounged with snacks and hot chocolate.
DAIKIRayna, that was like watching a supercomputer with a heart.
LYRAI think Riddlor had a breakdown halfway through trying to out-think you.
KAELYour parents handled it like pros. Mine would've grounded me for getting in a fight, even with a galaxy-eating monster.
DAIKI (teasingly, to Kael)Don't worry, Shin-nee-san. I'll talk to my in-laws when the time comes.
LYRA :Daiki!
KAEL (groaning)I should've left you in the puzzle room.
