🔥 Episode Four – The Riftborn Legacy
Mysteria, Mayhem, and the Magnificent
---
Scene 1: The Awakening of Zack
In the floating temples of Mysteria, where clouds cradle ancient stone and phoenixes soar, Zack Zenith kneels before the Obsidian Flame. His body glows with tribal runes, his breath syncing with the pulse of the realm. The Elders chant. The Flame erupts. Zack's eyes blaze silver. He is chosen. The third of the Magnificent 18.

Scene 2: The Gate of Realms
During a trial of spirit and strength, Zack strikes the Temple Bell of Echoes. A rift tears open midair—a swirling gate of violet and gold. He's pulled in, tumbling through dimensions. Screams of ancient beasts echo around him. He lands hard… in the ruins of the amusement park.

Scene 3: Collision of Worlds
Ryan and Gideon, still recovering, sense a surge. Ryan's fury flares. Gideon draws his blade. But Zack rises, calm and radiant.
"You're not from here," Gideon says.
"I am from Mysteria," Zack replies. "And I was sent to stop what's coming."
Ryan nods. "Then you're right on time."

Scene 4: VIREX's Response
At VIREX HQ, Omega Harvest begins. Scientists inject hybrid embryos with data from SUPREME. A new asset is born: OBLIVION—serpent wings, rhino hide, and a mind linked to the hive. It's not just a hunter. It's a commander.
---
Scene 5: Training and Trust
Zack trains with Ryan and Gideon in the underground ruins of Old Metro. He teaches them the Zenith Flow—combat that channels elemental forces. Ryan learns to fuse fury with flame. Gideon cloaks in phantom energy. Zack learns Earth's chaos. They bond. They prepare.
---
Scene 6: The First Harvest
OBLIVION strikes a refugee camp. It doesn't kill—it collects. Mutates. Zack, Ryan, and Gideon arrive too late. But Zack senses something deeper.
"They're building a legion," he says. "And they're using fear as fuel."
---
Scene 7: The Mirror of Memory
Morvena returns in a dream. She shows Zack a vision: SUPREME was only the beginning. The Magnificent 18 were created to counter the Omega Harvest.
"You are the balance," she whispers. "But balance demands sacrifice."
---
Scene 8: The Storm Before the War
As lightning splits the sky, the trio stands atop the Zenith Tower. Below, VIREX's forces mobilize. Above, the stars shift.
Ryan grips his blades. Gideon loads his cloaked rifle. Zack summons the Tempest Staff.
"Let's show them what evolution really looks like," Zack says.
And the hunt begins again.
