Chapter 62: EPISODE 62 — “WILDCARDS”
"Not every hero follows a cause. Some just want to watch it all burn beautifully."
Previously on Marvel: Tokyo Avengers
Amoris — the Cupid of Destruction — unleashed citywide obsession, nearly forcing the team to turn on each other. Starwave and Heartlight shattered the spell with pure willpower and harmony.
But Amoris was only the first of a new wave of unhinged threats arriving in Tokyo.
In the shadows, a criminal trio has stepped onto the scene — and they're not here for games.
🎬 [ACT I — Red Lantern Streets]
Scene: Tokyo's Red Zone – Late Night Alleyway
Low light. Rain puddles. Neon flickers.
A blood-red laugh echoes across the alley.
We see a woman in torn fashion — a psychotic girl with twin pigtails and a scythe dragging behind her, sparks flying as it scrapes the ground.
???:
"Let's play surgery."
She spins. Her name glitches onto the screen:
💉 SCISSOR KISS
She cleaves a group of armed thugs in one spinning swipe — splatters of red blending into the neon rain.
Cut to the rooftops — perched like a hawk, a slender figure in full black, half-mask covering his jaw. His stance calm, deadly. He wipes a thin blade clean.
🗡️ THE MUTE
No sound. No heartbeat detected. Kills in silence. Vanishes into wind.
Finally, from a crumbled sign, we pan down — to see a young man hanging upside-down by acrobatic ropes, spinning two pistols, laughing.
🎯 GUNBOUNCE
He fires twice — bullets ricochet through five mirrors before hitting their target behind a wall.
GUNBOUNCE (grinning):
"Now that's performance art."
🎬 [ACT II — The Arrival]
Scene: Break Room – Tokyo Avengers Safehouse
Kuro stares at the whiteboard filled with enemy data. Starwave lounges on the couch. Xylo meditates upside-down, levitating slightly.
NEKOBURST:
"Three new freaks showed up last night. One left a heart drawn in blood. Cute."
SCARLET ONNA:
"This isn't random. Someone's moving them toward us."
ONMYO FLARE:
"It's escalation. Red Claw was strategy. Amoris was emotion. These... these are chaos."
HEARTLIGHT (floating past):
"So what's the plan? Split up and get picked off one by one?"
KURO:
"No. We hunt first."
🎬 [ACT III — Street-Level Blitz]
Scene: Akihabara Backstreets – Late Evening
Gunbounce is causing mayhem — flipping between lightposts, using ricochet bullets to knock down signs and collapse buildings.
The team arrives in pairs:
Onmyo Flare and Xylo coordinate an elemental blitz. Charm blades glow red as fire slashes across rooftops.
Xylo slides into combat barehanded — cutting bullets midair, bouncing between walls like a human shuriken.
Gunbounce spins and claps midair.
GUNBOUNCE:
"Oh ho ho — I like this game."
One of his bullets curves around a corner and nearly hits Nekoburst, but she tele-bursts beside him, grabbing his collar.
NEKOBURST:
"You're not cute enough to be this annoying."
She dropkicks him through a vending machine. He's still laughing.
🎬 [ACT IV — Dance of Death]
Scene: Tokyo Museum – 2 AM
Scarlet Onna and Starwave arrive too late. A massacre has already begun. Guards are down.
In the middle of a display hall stands Scissor Kiss, her dress soaked red, her scythe dripping.
SCISSOR KISS (twirling):
"You brought threads and music? I brought scissors and silence!"
She slashes the air — and the soundwave of the scythe blasts the team backward. It's not magic — it's raw, physics-breaking blade velocity.
Scarlet Onna retaliates — weaving a thread seal midair. Starwave heel-kicks off a glass case, sending a sonic wave toward Scissor Kiss.
The clash is loud, fast, and brutal.
STARWAVE:
"You wanna be twisted? Welcome to the remix."
🎬 [ACT V — The Mute]
Scene: Tokyo Tower – Upper Deck
Kuro climbs the tower quietly.
He stops — The Mute is already waiting.
No words. Just cold wind.
They begin — fists, claws, and silent strikes.
Kuro's lunar form flares, claws glowing silver. But The Mute moves like mist — fading, reappearing behind him, cutting pressure points.
It's a deadly dance between predator and ghost.
KURO (low growl):
"You're not the first shadow I've eaten."
He howls — the sky flashes silver. The Mute falters for half a second.
That's all Kuro needs. He lunges — and slams The Mute through a railing.
The Mute vanishes into smoke. Gone.
🎬 [ENDING SCENE — Nightfall Briefing]
The team regroups, injured but alive.
SCARLET ONNA:
"They weren't random chaos. They were testing us."
STARWAVE:
"Each one countered us. Like someone gave them files."
HEARTLIGHT (tense):
"Someone... or something."
Xylo steps forward, holding a charm. It's corrupted — one of their own seals — rewritten in code.
XYLO:
"These aren't just criminals. They're using tech and ancient seals. Together."
ONMYO FLARE:
"That's not possible…"
But it is.
