The Green Light

Episode 2:The chase

[Scene opens – dimly lit alley, heavy rain, Kael’s breath visible in the cold night air]

Footsteps echo.

KAEL (internal monologue)

They took him. My little brother. And if they lay a single finger on him—

Kael dashes through the alley, eyes glowing faint green as his speed picks up unnaturally. Water splashes with every inhuman step.

Ahead, a figure runs, holding a small boy over his shoulder. The kid struggles, muffled cries echoing.

KAEL (shouting):

Put him down!

The man halts. Slowly turns. He’s tall, face half-covered with an old metal mask. Scars peek from under it.

SCARRED WARRIOR (calmly):

You really want to do this, green boy?

KAEL (breathing heavily):

You better let my brother go... or it gets dirty here.

SCARRED WARRIOR (grinning under mask):

I’d rather get dirty... than listen to your nonsense talk.

Scar’s hands ignite with a blazing silver fire, crackling unnaturally in the rain. Kael steps back instinctively.

KAEL (eyes widen):

Oh shit...

Scar rushes forward, swinging a flaming fist. Kael dodges by a hair—BOOM! The punch hits a wall, creating a massive crater.

Kael’s eyes glow brighter green—suddenly, his body moves on its own.

He leaps forward, fist clenched, and—

SMASH!

Kael’s punch connects with Scar’s jaw, launching him into a dumpster. Scar slumps—unconscious.

Kael stands there, panting. Raindrops sizzle off his glowing hand. His eyes begin to dim, confusion setting in.

KAEL (muttering):

I didn’t even... control that.

Suddenly—a WHISTLING SOUND in the distance.

Kael turns. A second figure, cloaked in black, flies away with his brother, golden flames beneath his feet like rocket boosters.

KAEL (shouting, desperate):

NOOOO—MY BROTHER!

Not dramatic. Not heroic. Just raw, broken. Furious.

He drops to one knee. The green light in his chest pulses violently.

Then—

The sky glows gold.

Kael looks up—*

A meteor, blazing in golden fire, streaks across the night sky, heading toward the city outskirts.

It’s slow, like it’s waiting to be chased.

KAEL (softly):

...That’s not normal.

The green energy swells inside him. Without thinking, he launches himself like a bullet, running at flash speed toward the impact site.
