Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

Chapter 61: EPISODE 61 — “Love Is a Battlefield”



"Even heroes can hesitate when the heart strikes first."

Previously:

Red Claw was defeated by the fierce rhythm of Starwave and the slicing hands of Xylo.

But peace is fragile in Tokyo.

And now, love — or something like it — threatens to divide the team from within...

🎬 [ACT I – The Rumor Bloom]

Scene: SHIBUYA CROSSING — Daytime, chaos energy high

The team is gathered at a street café under disguises: sunglasses, hoods, baggy coats. It's crowded but peaceful — for now.

NEKOBURST (slurping melon soda):

"So. You and Heartlight. It's real, huh?"

STARWAVE (nearly chokes):

"It's not like that!"

SCARLET ONNA (smiling, sipping tea):

"He did hold your hand on the roof."

STARWAVE:

"It was a combat grab!"

Heartlight floats above the table, suspended mid-air by a gentle glow of pink wings.

HEARTLIGHT:

"I admit nothing. Except that her eyes make me write terrible poetry."

Everyone groans. Even Xylo twitches.

ONMYO FLARE:

"Focus. There are disturbances downtown. People are... falling in love? Randomly?"

🎬 [ACT II – The Strange Lovers Case]

Scene: UENO PARK — Evening

The Avengers investigate. They find couples — strangers — suddenly obsessed with one another, embracing trees, statues, even vending machines.

CIVILIAN (in tears):

"I can't leave this lamppost! We were made for each other!"

Scarlet Onna casts a thread seal — and the love vanishes. The victim collapses, exhausted.

SCARLET ONNA:

"This is not magic. It's... emotional override."

HEARTLIGHT (serious):

"It feels familiar. But twisted."

Suddenly, a soft fluttering hum fills the air.

Descending in a swirl of glowing petals and gold sparkles, stands a graceful figure — cloaked in white and pink, hair blowing in slow motion.

🎬 [ACT III – He Appears: AMORIS]

???:

"I only wanted Tokyo to feel... adored."

Meet AMORIS — the so-called Cupid of Destruction.

Blonde, charming, with a twisted smile. His eyes shine like glittered dusk.

A pink sash wraps his chest like a heartbroken ribbon.

AMORIS:

"You heroes are always so angry. Let me gift you peace. Let me gift you... love."

He blows a kiss — literally — and pink energy bursts outward in a wide heart-shaped shockwave.

Starwave's resonance boots short out. Nekoburst slams into a tree. Xylo shields his face but gets pulled back by an unseen magnetic emotion.

🎬 [ACT IV – The Clash of Hearts]

Amoris descends to Heartlight.

AMORIS (softly):

"You were born from light and admiration... Why not join me?"

HEARTLIGHT (steady):

"Love without choice... isn't love."

AMORIS:

"Pity. You would've made a radiant king."

He charges.

Amoris wields a heart-forged blade, shaped like a crooked arrow. He and Heartlight collide midair in a spiral of pink and gold light — wings clashing, aura bursts raining down.

STARWAVE (shouting):

"Back off my spotlight!!"

She heel-stomps the air, sending a sonic spike that knocks Amoris off course.

Xylo lunges forward — his hands slicing clean through heart-shaped energy waves.

XYLO:

"I don't care what you feel. You're still getting cut."

🎬 [ACT V – The False Proposal]

Amoris flicks a hidden rune ring into the sky — a heart-shaped glyph forms.

Suddenly, Scarlet Onna's threads unravel, Onmyo Flare's charm blades shatter, and Kuro's beast aura flickers.

KURO (gritting teeth):

"What... is this?"

AMORIS:

"The final stage of love: obsession."

The team begins turning on each other — their bodies drawn to fight the ones they trust most. Amoris's spell deepens.

But Starwave, glowing in defiance, grabs Heartlight's hand — real this time.

STARWAVE:

"I don't care if it's love or not. But we're not letting him control the chorus."

She sings — a single raw, wordless note — amplified through her mic-heel system. The tone blasts across the battlefield, shattering Amoris's glyph.

Everyone snaps out of it.

AMORIS (startled):

"How did you—?"

STARWAVE:

"Because this beat... is mine."

Xylo slices through the final glyph, clean and cold. Amoris stumbles, bleeding glitter.

AMORIS (smiling faintly):

"You broke my heart. I guess... I'll see you again."

He vanishes in a flurry of petals.

🌀 ENDING SCENE — Rooftop Sunset

The team watches the city below. Couples laugh. Everything feels normal.

HEARTLIGHT (to Starwave):

"So... wanna go on a totally fake, not-serious, irony-packed date sometime?"

STARWAVE (turns away):

"Only if you bring flowers. Sonic ones."
