Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

Chapter 33: EPISODE 33: “Threadgrave Chorus”



🔺 "When the tower sings, it's not with a voice — it's with the dead."

❗ Previously on Tokyo Avengers:

Floor One was conquered — the Avengers overcame five Crimson Exaltors and shattered the tower's heart.

Now, Floor Two awaits: a cursed domain tied directly to Scarlet Onna's ancestral magic.

Her past — not a doppelgänger, not a ghost — has been physically built into this place.

[Scene 1 – Ascending the Stair of Bone]

The Avengers walk up the winding, cracked staircase of Floor One.

Each step feels like walking on snapped teeth.

At the landing, a new doorway waits — a silken archway woven from thread made of ash, humming low with vibration.

ONMYO FLARE:

"The sigils on the wall… They're musical. But wrong. They loop in impossible keys."

NEKOBURST (tail twitching):

"Feels like a haunted sewing machine had a baby with a radio."

SCARLET ONNA (pale, focused):

"These… these are spells that were banned.

'Threadgrave' was a punishment song used to silence rebels in the Crimson Needle Temple."

They step through.

[Scene 2 – Inside the Threadgrave]

They enter a massive circular chamber —

Ceiling covered in tangled thread chimes that jingle on their own.

A floor of bones stitched into a music scale.

Hanging from the air like puppets: dozens of mummified monks, all sealed with thread sigils across their lips.

🎵 Then the tower starts to sing.

A long, low humming rises — not from instruments, but from the bodies of the monks.

The entire room vibrates. Sonic pulses ripple through the floor.

STARWAVE (staggering):

"These harmonics… they're meant to kill."

BLOOD SERAPHIM (voice dripping):

"Welcome to the Chorus. One wrong move, and your heartbeat will be unraveled."

[Scene 3 – Battle Begins: The Soundbound]

Suddenly — from the stitched bodies emerge Soundbound, cursed sonic warriors wearing thread veils, armed with vibrating chain-hooks and musical-blade flutes.

Each one moves in sync with the tower's song.

They don't attack wildly — they move in rhythm, like cursed dancers.

There are ten Soundbound in total — five stay airborne, five drop to fight.

🩸 AVENGERS VS. THE SOUNDBOUND

🐺 KURO ŌKAMI

Faces a Soundbound who attacks with harmonic frequency waves using twin hook-chains.

Every strike distorts Kuro's vision and messes with his beast hearing.

He roars — shifting to Lunar Pulse Mode to shatter the air around him and cancel the frequencies.

KURO ŌKAMI (snarling):

"You're singing the wrong tune."

He leaps — claws slashing through the chain-bearer in midair.

🎤 STARWAVE

Steps onto the music-scale bone floor and syncs her footwork with the rhythm.

"If I'm going to fight a song…

I'll remix it."

She taps her heels — Tempo Override: Scatter Mode

Her kicks generate disruption shockwaves that throw the Soundbound's chorus out of tune, causing them to spiral.

She air-spins, kicks one into the ceiling threads — snap.

The corpse's melody ends.

🧧 ONMYO FLARE

Hovers above using a glyph platform —

He draws Sound-Seal Sigils midair to redirect the attacks.

The Soundbound flutist fires a burst-tone that almost cracks his ears — but Renji counters with Kanji of Silence: 静

The sonic burst is eaten by the seal — and he throws it back amplified, exploding the flute in a red pulse.

🐾 NEKOBURST

Dodges the Soundbound who flicks mono-threads like tuning forks, generating spatial pressure traps.

She teleports above him, lands on his back, and jabs her clawed heels into his shoulders.

NEKOBURST:

"You play music. I break sound barriers."

She rides him down, twisting mid-air and snapping his neck with a spin-kick.

🔮 SCARLET ONNA

She doesn't fight right away. She stares at the final monk — the only one still humming.

Her hands tremble.

"This is... Master Ayaki. My mother's teacher."

The Soundbound attacks her — and she responds by weaving a Forbidden Bloom Thread into her fingers, an ancient spell meant to grant peace to the restless.

She dodges his blade, wraps the glowing flower-thread around his throat… and pulls.

The Soundbound hums once more — then stops.

SCARLET ONNA (whispering):

"Rest now. That chorus was never yours."

[Scene 4 – The Final Note]

With all Soundbound silenced, the room ceases humming.

The thread chimes go limp. The monks disintegrate peacefully.

A set of stairs opens in the far wall — lit by a soft red glow.

A new carving appears:

🔺 FLOOR THREE: THE SINEW JAR

[Closing – What They Carry]

As they climb:

STARWAVE:

"These enemies weren't illusions. They were real. Bound. Tortured."

ONMYO FLARE:

"He's not summoning nightmares. He's repurposing suffering."

SCARLET ONNA (quietly):

"I swear, when we reach him — I'll end it. With my own thread."

They disappear into the stairwell.
