SEASON 2 — EPISODE 3: BLOOD ON THE SNOW
Cold Open — The Hunter's Trail
RECAP MONTAGE:
• Episode 1: The Cloaked Hunter kills an entire A-Rank city in minutes.
• Episode 2: Xavier slays the Stormbreaker Behemoth (Level 40, Titan Slayer Lv.2).
• Final shot — the "mountain" breathing in the far distance.
EXT. FROSTWRAITH EXPANSE — NIGHT
Snow drifts in slow motion.
A trail of crimson stains the white — not beast blood… Hunter blood.
The camera pulls back to reveal three elite Hunter corpses, each missing their hunter tags.
From the blizzard, Cloaked Hunter steps into view, dragging two more unconscious Hunters by the collars.
CLOAKED HUNTER (quietly, to himself):
"Almost ready…"
Act 1 — Infiltration Orders
INT. HUNTER FLAGSHIP — WAR ROOM
The Guild Master spreads frost-covered intelligence photos on the table — images of the Frostwraith Citadel.
GUILD MASTER:
"Citadel security's changed. No beasts at the gates… just hunters. Hunters like him."
A holographic threat list flickers — Elite Hunter Killers known as The White Fang.
• Iceblade Mara — assassin, kills in total silence.
• Frostbrand Jorik — brute with skin like frozen steel.
• Whisper Fang — twin crossbow sniper.
GUILD MASTER:
"These aren't beasts. They're us. Faster, stronger… and loyal to the Shadow King."
XAVIER:
"Then we hunt them like we'd hunt any apex predator."
Act 2 — White Fang Ambush
EXT. FROSTWRAITH TUNDRA — DAY
The Hunter strike team treks through a frozen canyon toward the Citadel.
Snow explodes around them — Iceblade Mara drops from above, slicing through three soldiers before vanishing in the mist.
Crossbow bolts whistle through the storm — one grazes Kai's arm.
KAI:
"We're in their kill zone!"
From the side, Frostbrand Jorik barrels into Xavier like a glacier in motion, forcing him into a brutal melee.
Xavier counters with Volt Breaker Overdrive, each strike sparking against Jorik's unyielding ice-steel skin.
Act 3 — Apex in the Snow
Jorik shatters Xavier's blade in half.
Xavier switches to Apex Hunter Mode, catching Jorik's massive fist and crushing it — frost exploding into shards.
XAVIER:
"That's core number one."
A precise Arc Storm Cleave slices through Jorik's chest — his core shatters in a burst of white light.
Act 4 — Duel with Mara
As Kai's squad pins down the sniper, Xavier vanishes into the blizzard after Mara.
The fight is almost invisible — flashes of steel in the snow, blood blooming in midair.
Mara feints, drawing Xavier into a blade lock — but Beast Sense pinpoints her heartbeat through the storm.
He pivots, severing her scythe arm with a lightning-charged slash.
XAVIER:
"Tell your master… I'm coming."
She laughs — then bites down on a frost-vial, freezing herself solid before she can be interrogated.
Act 5 — The Citadel Gates
The surviving White Fang retreat to the fortress walls.
The gates of the Frostwraith Citadel swing open — revealing the Cloaked Hunter, standing alone, snow swirling around him.
CLOAKED HUNTER:
"You've leveled up, Godslayer… but not enough."
HUD flashes:
CLOAKED HUNTER — Threat Level: ???
Ending Cliffhanger
INT. CITADEL THRONE ROOM — SAME TIME
The Shadow King rises from his throne.
Through the window, lightning flashes — illuminating the silhouette of a massive Titan skull mounted above him.
SHADOW KING:
"Send word to the Titan King. The Hunt begins now."
