Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

"You don't need a weapon when the world is sharp enough."

Previously:

The chaos trio — Scissor Kiss, The Mute, and Gunbounce — arrived in Tokyo, each unleashing calculated destruction and psychological games.

But as the Avengers regroup, Xylo decides to hunt alone.

Because the only way to kill chaos… is to bleed it slowly.

🎬 [ACT I — Midnight: The Cut Between Worlds]

Scene: Abandoned Tokyo Pier — Midnight fog, ocean mist swirling

Xylo walks alone. His hands are wrapped, bleeding lightly. A strange glow pulses under his gloves.

Flashbacks echo — faces he's cut. Villains he's erased. Silence that followed. Then the trio… Scissor Kiss's scream, Gunbounce's taunts, The Mute's stare.

He stops.

XYLO (to himself):

"Three blades. I slice cleaner."

Suddenly, a gunshot ricochets. A bullet flies.

Xylo doesn't dodge. He tilts his head, letting it graze his cheek.

GUNBOUNCE (offscreen, amused):

"Was trying to part your hair."

He drops from the shadows of a container crane — dual pistols spinning. Each one has hearts etched into the chambers.

🎬 [ACT II — Gunbounce vs. Xylo]

Gunbounce leaps between freight containers, firing bullet-ricochets in unpredictable patterns.

GUNBOUNCE:

"You're the slicer, yeah? How 'bout slicing lead?"

Xylo sprints full-speed through the hailstorm, eyes locked.

SHTING!

He slashes a bullet in midair — it splits like butter.

Gunbounce lands on a beam — cocky — until he looks down.

His belt falls off. His holsters drop. Cut clean through.

XYLO:

"I only need to touch you once."

Gunbounce hurls a smoke bomb. Xylo disappears into it with no sound.

A snap.

Gunbounce screams. He's left dangling upside down, bound by his own shoulder straps — severed just enough to twist him midair.

XYLO (quietly):

"One down."

🎬 [ACT III — The Mute]

Scene: Tokyo Rail Yard

Xylo walks toward the open fog. No words. No sound. The Mute waits, leaning against a pole like a samurai at rest.

Their eyes meet.

Then they explode into movement — no aura, no shouting, no music. Only motion.

The Mute slashes with speed — small daggers like whispers.

Xylo dodges at an angle no human should be able to bend, countering with knife-like hand motions.

They clash dozens of times per second — pressure slicing rails apart, sparks flying, concrete cracked.

The Mute lands a faint slice across Xylo's shoulder.

XYLO (breathing, bleeding):

"You're better than me… but not tonight."

Xylo suddenly uses his palm to slide along the blade, letting it cut — but tracing it back to The Mute's hand.

One strike — open palm — clean across the jaw.

The Mute crumples, unconscious.

Xylo stands over him, dripping, panting.

XYLO:

"Two."

🎬 [ACT IV — A Memory Stained Red]

Scene: Tokyo's Old Shrine Grounds — Scissor Kiss waits

She sits on a swing, her bloody scythe dragging in the dirt.

SCISSOR KISS (grinning):

"Didn't think you'd come alone. Brave or broken?"

XYLO:

"Both."

She lunges, spinning her scythe like a ribboned death fan.

Xylo sidesteps, hands slicing through the wind trail — causing a pressure burst that splits the playground in half.

They clash.

She slashes in arcs, shrieking — wild and erratic.

Xylo adapts — calm, precise, hands moving like scalpels.

He dodges her final vertical strike and grabs the shaft of her scythe, slicing it in half with a two-fingered pressure snap.

SCISSOR KISS (panting, bleeding):

"No weapon... no fun..."

XYLO:

"You were never the real blade."

She lunges again — desperate.

He spins and lands an open palm strike to her chest. Not lethal. Just stopping the heart long enough to drop her.

XYLO (cold):

"Three."

🎬 [ACT V — The True Enemy]

He drags all three unconscious bodies to a lone warehouse.

The Tokyo Avengers arrive — Kuro, Scarlet Onna, Heartlight, Starwave, Nekoburst, and Onmyo Flare, shocked.

HEARTLIGHT:

"You took them down alone?"

NEKOBURST:

"What kind of freak are you?"

XYLO (wiping blood from his hand):

"I cut until things stop moving."

SCARLET ONNA kneels beside Scissor Kiss. A glyph burns beneath her skin.

SCARLET ONNA:

"These marks… they were puppets. Someone branded them."

ONMYO FLARE (grim):

"The Mute's eyes were hexed."

KURO (clenching fists):

"They were sent here. Used. There's someone else."

The camera pans out. Far away, inside a silent void temple, a figure watches.

Their eyes glow like inverted stars.

???:

"Let the blades bleed first. Then we burn Tokyo."
