0:00intro dark tunnel
The scene opens in a dimly lit, ancient-looking arched stone tunnel. The floor is rough, earthy ground. On both sides, recessed alcoves house small, flickering orange lamps, casting warm light and long shadows down the length of the tunnel, which stretches far into the dark distance. A large, matte black, angular block occupies the bottom-right foreground, obscuring part of the view. The overall lighting is very dark, with a strong contrast between the bright orange lamps and the deep shadows. The color palette is dominated by dark browns, oranges, and blacks, creating a mysterious and somewhat eerie atmosphere. There is no visible action or characters in this initial frame.

The large black block from the previous scene recedes, revealing the full extent of the dark, arched stone tunnel. From the bottom-left, several flat, rectangular objects, featuring prominent red stripes on a beige background, rapidly spin and curve into an octagon shape in the foreground, before quickly moving out of frame. This motion reveals two small, chibi-style character figures standing poised in fighting stances far down the tunnel. The tunnel walls are made of rough-hewn stone blocks, and the flickering orange lamps along the sides provide the primary illumination, creating a warm, mystical glow that gradually fades into darkness at the tunnel's end. The ground is still a rough, earthy texture. The color palette remains rich with warm oranges, browns, and dark greys.

The warm, orange light from the lamps illuminates the characters and the immediate surroundings, creating soft highlights and deepening shadows on the stone. Both characters maintain their dynamic fighting stances, suggesting an imminent confrontation. The ground beneath them is rugged earth. The overall mood is tense and adventurous, with warm, earthy tones dominating the scene's color palette.

This is a dramatic, dynamic close-up shot focused on the right chibi-style character. The background is heavily blurred, but the warm orange and brown tones indicate the stone tunnel environment. The character is in a low, powerful fighting pose, holding a long, silver-bladed sword horizontally across their body, as if deflecting an attack or preparing a swing. There's a strong sense of motion blur, especially around the sword and the character's hands, suggesting rapid movement or impact. Intense, warm orange light from the right illuminates the character, creating bright highlights on their mask, sword, and red pants, while casting deeper shadows on the left side. The color palette is vibrant with yellow, red, black, and silver against a blurred orange-brown background. The atmosphere is action-packed and intense.

This character is in a crouched, defensive stance, clutching two small, silver-bladed daggers tightly. There's significant motion blur, particularly around the daggers and the character's upper body, suggesting swift, powerful action. Strong, warm orange light illuminates the character from the front-right, highlighting the white skull mask and the vibrant green of the cloak, while creating dramatic shadows.

The scene changes dramatically to an outdoor, apocalyptic landscape, dominated by a vibrant red and orange color palette. The camera begins with a medium shot, focusing on the green-cloaked, bone-masked character on the left, who is still in a defensive pose, looking towards a towering structure in the background. The ground is a barren, rocky terrain with scattered, sparse reddish-brown brush. In the background, a massive, multi-tiered, spiral tower, seemingly constructed of light-colored stone, glows with an ethereal light, illuminated by a blindingly bright white sphere at its peak or directly behind it. The sky is filled with swirling, dramatic reddish-orange clouds, indicating a powerful magical or cosmic event. The overall lighting is intense and glowing, creating deep contrasts. The camera slowly pans to the right, following the character's gaze and revealing more of the vast, fiery landscape.

The yellow-masked, red-pants character is in a dynamic, defensive pose on the right, looking towards the massive, spiraling tower in the background. The ground is a rough, reddish-brown rocky terrain with minimal vegetation. The gigantic tower, a beacon of light-colored stone, glows intensely against a backdrop of swirling, fiery red-orange clouds, with a brilliant white light source emanating from behind or above it, creating a powerful, almost divine, presence. The lighting is strong and ethereal, casting everything in a warm, intense glow. The camera slowly pans to the left, shifting focus from the character to encompass more of the tower and the dramatic sky.

This wide shot brings both chibi-style characters into frame, flanking the majestic, glowing spiral tower which dominates the central background. They are positioned in the foreground on a rugged, reddish-brown, rocky terrain with sparse, desiccated brush. The enormous, multi-tiered tower emits a radiant, white light, standing tall against a sky consumed by swirling, fiery red-orange clouds. A blindingly bright white light source emanates from the center of the celestial chaos, creating a dramatic, ethereal glow over the entire landscape.
