[TITLE CARD] Skyden Coded

[A V.RAGHAV's Film]

[Starring Raghav as (Raghav and Skyden)]

[NARRATOR] The story follows Raghav, a young electronics enthusiast from a bustling Indian electronics market.
His obsession with building a virtual world brings him into contact with Skyden, a cynical fighter in the year 2070.

Following a tragic incident that separates Raghav from his family,
he mysteriously transforms into the future version of himself—Skyden.

Now, as the leader of a resistance group against a cold and calculated figure named Shockwave,
Skyden must come to terms with his past to save the future.

[SCENE 1: THE MARKETS OF THE PAST]

[SOUND]

[NARRATOR] A camera glides through a bustling Indian electronics market.

Narrow lanes are packed with shops, cables hang everywhere,
and a hum of bargaining voices fills the air.

It smells like hot metal and street snacks.

[INT. ELECTRONICS SHOP - DAY]

[NARRATOR] Raghav is sitting at the counter, hunched over a broken circuit board.

His fingers, stained with solder and grime, twist a loose wire
into a mini bolt of lightning.

The market’s chaos is the soundtrack to his life.
He looks up as his dad, a kind man with laugh lines, finishes a transaction.

RAGHAV'S DAD:
Raghav, stop that. Help me sort these transistors.

[NARRATOR] Raghav nods, but his hands stay on the circuit board. His mind is miles away,
building the virtual worlds for his "Skyden game."

His dad sighs, worn out from years of work.

RAGHAV'S DAD:
This boy will drown in his dreams. He thinks the world is made of circuit boards and wishes,
not bills and bad luck.

[SOUND: CURTAIN PUSHED ASIDE.]

ABHI:
Stuck in the dungeon again, Bhaiya?

[NARRATOR] Abhi's wide grin is the complete opposite of the serious vibe.
He slings an arm over Raghav’s shoulder.

RAGHAV:
I have to get away. I need to work on the real project. I'm so close.

ABHI:
Uncle, I’m taking him for tea, don’t worry. A genius needs his fuel.

RAGHAV'S DAD:
Abhi, keep him grounded. He forgets there’s a real world outside his junk.
And don't spend all your money on him. He'll just buy more trash for that garage of his.

ABHI:
Always, Uncle.

[SOUND: FOOTSTEPS.]

[NARRATOR] Raghav and Abhi slip out the back into a small, cluttered garage—a sanctuary of tech chaos.

RAGHAV:
I've been collecting these for months. I just pulled a 64-bit logic board from that old VCR;
it's got the perfect architecture for the core matrix.

ABHI:
Every part helps.

[SOUND: A GENTLE KNOCK.]

RAGHAV'S DAD:
Don’t be late for dinner.

[NARRATOR] Raghav nods without looking up. His dad watches him for a moment,
a worried but loving expression on his face, before quietly leaving.

He thinks of his wife, who would have understood this part of their son,
the part that lived in a world of circuits and dreams.

[SOUND: CLINKING TEACUPS.]

[NARRATOR] Raghav and Abhi head out for a short break. They sip sweet chai,
the warmth seeping into their hands.

They talk about their futures, Raghav’s shy crush on a girl in his neighborhood,
and the impossible dream of making something out of nothing.

ABHI:
You're a genius, man. You just gotta believe it. They’re all going to see that one day.

[NARRATOR] As the sun begins to set, Raghav walks back through the market,
a sense of hope filling him. He’s in slow motion, a dreamy look on his face,
as if he’s walking into his destiny.

The low hum of the market, the distant calls of vendors,
the smell of street food — it all feels like home.

[SOUND: A FAINT, HIGH-PITCHED WHINE BEGINS.]

[NARRATOR] The whine grows louder. Raghav looks up, frowning, as a red dot appears on his machine.

The whine becomes a shriek. Outside, the loud rush of a missile.

[SOUND: THE MISSILE SLAMS IN! 💥]

[NARRATOR] A flash of blinding light and a silent, terrible blast tears through the market.

The garage is gone, the walls blown to pieces. The electronics store is a smoking ruin.

The air is thick with the smell of scorched metal and dust.
Raghav frantically searches through the rubble, calling for his father.

He finds him under a collapsed shelf, a metal beam across his chest, his eyes closed.

[SOUND: A GUTTURAL SCREAM.]

Raghav lets out a guttural scream.

[NARRATOR] Abhi, having heard the blast, rushes in and finds Raghav sobbing,
holding his father's body. Abhi puts an arm around Raghav, pulls him into a hug, and just holds him.

The camera slowly pulls away from the two friends, showing the devastation.
The market is a graveyard of dreams and metal.

[SOUND: A smash cut. Fast, distorted music.]

[SCENE 2: THE CYNICAL FIGHTER]

[EXT. ALLEY - NIGHT]

[NARRATOR] Close-up — a man running through a narrow alley at night, his breath ragged.

[NARRATOR] The sound of footsteps chasing him. It's Skyden.

SKYDEN:
(Narrating) Alright, I don't have much time... I think I just had a near-death experience.
Good thing we're in 2070. Back in the day, a liver tap-out was a death sentence. Now, you just buy a new one.

[SOUND: A faint smirk crosses his face, then a bullet whizzes past his head.]

SKYDEN:
(Narrating) Anyway… where was I? Oh right—I’m about two seconds away from becoming street art,
thanks to the charming folks behind me.

But you know how in movies, right when you’re about to die… some big, muscular savior shows up?
Yeah… this is that part.

[SOUND: a loud WHAM.]

[NARRATOR] A huge figure slams one of the attackers into a wall. Two more fighters appear,
moving fast, taking down enemies with precision.

One tosses Skyden a weapon.

SKYDEN:
(Voice-over) Meet my people. The Resistance. The folks who took me in when I was just another street rat…
and somehow decided to turn me into… this.

[SOUND: A quick montage of sepia-toned flashes: a young Skyden in the Resistance hideout,
training with wooden sticks, stealing food, laughing around a campfire.]

[NARRATOR] The scene cuts back to the present fight. Guns, fists, and chaos.

MENTOR:
Still can’t run without tripping, huh?

SKYDEN:
Still can’t make an entrance without showing off, huh?

[NARRATOR] They exchange a quick nod, then rejoin the fight.

The fight ends, and the Resistance team brings Skyden into their underground hideout.
The facility is a hive of activity.

A tech room humming with scavenged parts, sleeping quarters, and weapon racks along the walls.
It feels battle-worn but functional.

[INT. RESISTANCE BASE - NIGHT]

[NARRATOR] Skyden stands on a raised platform in the main common area,
acting like a self-proclaimed leader giving an over-the-top speech.

SKYDEN:
I stole the code! Now no one can stop us. We just need to build the machine…
then we control everything!

[NARRATOR] Just as Skyden is mid-speech, Adam bursts through the main entrance,
shouting his name.

Adam, a physically imposing figure, storms in and grabs Skyden by the collar,
slamming him against the wall.

ADAM:
You never listen! Because of you, we had to relocate the entire facility.
People almost died last time!

MENTOR:
Enough, both of you.

[NARRATOR] Adam reluctantly lets go, muttering to himself but obeying.

The confrontation ends as the Resistance members gather for a shared dinner.
Mentor sits at the head of the table, a happy expression on his face.

Adam, however, stays with his own team at a separate table, and lingering tension is visible
in the glances they exchange.

The background chatter, the serving of food, and the laughter from other Resistance members
give the scene a lived-in, human feel—a calm before the storm.

[NARRATOR] After dinner, Skyden heads to his quarters but is stopped by a female childhood friend.
She is clearly relieved to see him alive but her expression is stern.

JENNY:
You should stay here and protect your people. Stop chasing trouble.

[NARRATOR] Skyden just offers her a faint smile, not answering. She leaves, frustrated,
leaving Skyden’s silent stubbornness to hint at a deeper plan.

Skyden walks past his quarters to his personal space—a hidden garage and workshop.
In the center sits a machine similar to Raghav’s from 2026, old and partly scavenged.

A subtle detail is revealed: he’d been collecting pieces for this for years. He runs his hand across it,
his eyes serious, and the audience realizes this is his true plan.

[INT. RESISTANCE BASE – LATER THAT NIGHT]

[NARRATOR] Skyden's quarters are small and utilitarian. Jenny finds him packing a bag.
Her expression is a mix of concern and frustration.

JENNY:
You're leaving.

SKYDEN:
Just for a bit.

JENNY:
Skyden, we just got you back. After everything, you're just going to run off again?

SKYDEN:
I'm not running. I'm... getting things done.

JENNY:
(Voice softens)
You promised me you'd stop. Stop chasing trouble. Stop putting yourself in danger.

[NARRATOR] Skyden finally looks at her. There's a flicker of something in his eyes, a depth she rarely sees.
He moves closer and gently takes her hand.

SKYDEN:
I can't. Not yet.

JENNY:
What is it you're so afraid of? You're not afraid of dying. What is it?

SKYDEN:
Losing what I haven't even found yet.

[NARRATOR] He pulls her into a hug, holding her close. It's a rare moment of intimacy for him.

A quiet, high-pitched whine begins to fill the air, almost imperceptible.
A faint, glowing blue pattern on Skyden's armor flickers and fades.

SKYDEN:
I have to go. Before they...

[NARRATOR] He pulls away, a flicker of panic in his eyes.

JENNY:
(Whispering)
Wait. Not yet.

[NARRATOR] She pulls him close and kisses him, long and slow.
The hum grows louder, his body glows faintly with a blue aura.

Suddenly, a screen on a nearby console flashes red with a single word: "DETECTION."

SKYDEN:
Damn it.

JENNY:
What?

SKYDEN:
They know where we are. My energy... I used too much of it. We have to go. Now.

JENNY:
This is fine here, but we should have done it on the ground.

SKYDEN:
(A faint, pained smile)
Yeah. If we did that, it would have been my last romance.

[NARRATOR] Jenny doesn't hesitate. She grabs his hand.

JENNY:
I know where we can go. Adam's vehicle.

[EXT. DESERT ROAD – LATER THAT NIGHT]

[NARRATOR] The modified vehicle speeds through the night. Adam is driving hard.
Skyden is in the back seat, rubbing his jaw from the earlier fight with Adam.

Franklin is riding shotgun, and Jenny is in the back tending to minor cuts.

FRANKLIN:
Uh… guys? We got company.

[SOUND] A single missile streaks toward them.

[NARRATOR] Jenny and Franklin look at each other, then at the missile.
Adam slams on the brakes. The team jumps out of the vehicle, scattering.

Adam looks back at Skyden, who is still sitting in the back seat,
staring at the approaching missile.

ADAM:
(Screaming)
Jump, you idiot!

[SOUND] The missile zips over the vehicle and continues on its trajectory.

[NARRATOR] It flies toward the horizon, where the Resistance base is located.
The team looks in confusion, then the missile hits its target.

A blinding flash lights up the night sky, and a massive BOOM shakes the ground.

JENNY:
No...

ADAM:
(Turning to Skyden)
They're heading for the base!

[SOUND] Another missile comes from the horizon and streaks toward their abandoned vehicle.

[NARRATOR] Before it hits, Adam runs toward the vehicle and grabs Skyden.
The missile strikes. A shockwave flips the vehicle into the air.

Adam and Skyden are caught in the blast, sending them flying. Adam lands hard,
but Skyden, who took the brunt of the hit, goes limp and unconscious.

[NARRATOR] The road is still littered with the overturned, smoking remains of their vehicles.
The desert wind whistles through the silence.

Adam paces near the wreckage, a wrench in his hand, his movements sharp with frustration
as he tries to repair the battered vehicle. Franklin leans against the side, watching.

FRANKLIN:
(Voice is serious now)
You're really that worried about him? Is he… your real brother?

[NARRATOR] Franklin looks at Skyden, notices his fractured left arm,
and sees the glimmer of metallic bone underneath the skin. His face hardens.

FRANKLIN:
Is he...?

[NARRATOR] Adam doesn’t look up from his work. He knows what Franklin saw.

ADAM:
No. He’s adopted. Found him alone… years ago. Wouldn’t tell us where he came from.
My father—our father—took him in anyway.

The last base we had... we lost it because of him. He got emotional...
and they detected him. They knew where to find us.

He always does this. Chases something. Gets distracted. He almost killed us all.

[NARRATOR] Jenny, still kneeling beside Skyden, adds quietly:

JENNY:
First time I met him, he was already running away from something. Always does.
Always chasing something else.

[NARRATOR] Adam smirks bitterly, tightening a bolt on the vehicle.

ADAM:
Last time he fainted was when Dad yelled at him. After that… Dad never raised his voice again.
Treated him like the youngest. But he never listened. Still doesn’t.

But—he’s my brother. And my family’s trapped in that base. We can’t sit here.

FRANKLIN:
At least you’ve got family. Mine’s gone. My whole resistance cell’s wiped out. Just me now.

[NARRATOR] A short silence falls, broken only by Adam slamming a metal panel shut.

ADAM:
Alright. She’s good enough to move. We get him inside, we go.

[NARRATOR] He strides toward Skyden’s limp body. Jenny suddenly looks up.

JENNY:
Wait—guys… it stopped.

ADAM:
The… sound?

JENNY:
Yeah. The echo… it’s gone.

FRANKLIN:
Maybe the battery died.

JENNY:
Not funny.

[NARRATOR] Adam crouches, reaching to lift Skyden. Skyden’s eyes snap open.
He lets out a sharp, ragged scream, clutching his head.

Quick flashes — Raghav’s life, his voice, his memories — rapid, disjointed images:
a lab, burning streets, a hidden code etched into metal, someone shouting his name.

His breathing is erratic, his eyes unfocused.

[SOUND] A sudden deep boom shakes the air.

[NARRATOR] A blinding flash lights the horizon—the direction of the resistance base.

ADAM:
No…

[NARRATOR] The shockwave from the blast sends dust whipping around them.
The bright flare seems to snap Skyden back to reality.

His breathing steadies, the visions fade.

He blinks, looking at the others, still dazed.

FRANKLIN:
Well… welcome back, Sleeping Beauty.

ADAM:
Get him in. We’re moving. Now.

[INT. RESISTANCE BASE – MOMENTS AFTER THE BLAST]

[SOUND] Dust and debris rain down. Emergency lights flicker.

[NARRATOR] The roof of the cavernous hideout has been torn open by the blast.
Chunks of concrete and steel crash to the ground.

Mentor is already in position, rallying the fighters.
His team is fighting a swarm of Shockwave’s side villains—drones, robots, and armored soldiers.

Mentor is holding his own, but he's visibly wounded, bleeding from a gash on his arm.

Meanwhile, high in his control room overlooking the battle, Shockwave is watching the chaos
with a cold smirk.

His gaze sweeps over the fighting until a specific visual feed pops up on his screen:
the arrival of Adam, Jenny, and Franklin carrying an unconscious Skyden.

Shockwave’s eyes widen slightly. He sees his ultimate prize.
The cold smirk transforms into a genuine smile.

SHOCKWAVE:
(To himself)
Looks like the wild card just showed up.

[NARRATOR] He puts on his helmet and gestures to his guards.

SHOCKWAVE:
Keep them busy. The fun is just getting started.

[NARRATOR] He steps onto a small, personal platform, which lowers him directly into the cavern.

[SOUND] A loud sonic boom breaks the air.

[NARRATOR] Adam's vehicle bursts into the cavern, crashing through the breach in the roof.

Adam, Jenny, and Franklin leap out, ready to fight.

[NARRATOR] Shockwave lands with a dramatic plume of smoke and dust,
his helmet retracting to reveal his smirk.

He doesn't even acknowledge Mentor or the other fighters. His eyes are fixed on Skyden.

[NARRATOR] Shockwave gestures to a smaller drone. It flies to Skyden and a similar hook
shoots out, piercing Skyden's chest.

SKYDEN:
(Narrating)
This is it. This is where I go from hero to meme. Don't let me down.

[NARRATOR] He's lifted into the air. He's bleeding, his energy flickering,
his voice strained but still sarcastic. Jenny runs to him, reaching for him, but can't.

Adam follows, frustrated.

SKYDEN:
(To Jenny, his voice soft)
Jenny... I feel so... cold.

[NARRATOR] He's trying to make a joke, but his words are serious.

The hook holds him in place. Jenny is holding his hand, crying.
She tries to pull the hook out.

JENNY:
(Soaking)
Hold on, Skyden! I'm going to get this out.

SKYDEN:
(Looking at Jenny, a weak grin)
You're right... We should have done that on the ground.

FRANKLIN:
Don't worry, man, I've seen bigger hooks. You'll be fine.

[NARRATOR] Adam is enraged. He tries to jump and grab Skyden, but falls to the ground.
He's screaming.

SKYDEN:
(To Adam, his voice straining)
Hey, listen, Adam. Listen to me. This is important...

The vehicle... the one you love... it's a mess.

And... it was a little dirty... when we used it... to hide.

[NARRATOR] Skyden's eyes lose their focus. His body goes limp.

Shockwave's drone pulls him away, toward the hovercraft. Shockwave follows.

JENNY:
(Soaking, screaming)
SKYDEN!

ADAM:
(Screaming, filled with rage)
I'll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU!

[NARRATOR] Franklin rushes to Adam and holds him back. Adam is screaming.

Jenny is still crying, reaching for Skyden as he disappears into the darkness.

FRANKLIN:
(Whispering, to himself)
Well... he's a machine. I don't think he's dead.

[SCENE 3: THE SURVIVORS’ VOW]

[NARRATOR]
Adam, Jenny, Franklin drag the wounded Mentor to the hidden base.

The resistance survivors emerge from the shadows, battered but alive.

[NARRATOR]
ADAM’S RAGE

ADAM:
He died because I wasn’t fast enough! He died because I wasn’t there!

JENNY:
Don’t let his death be wasted.

[NARRATOR]
Franklin, quieter than usual, broken inside.

[NARRATOR]
MENTOR’S WISDOM (while fading)

MENTOR:
(Weak but sharp)
Skyden is never truly gone. Remember this, Adam… legends do not die….

[NARRATOR]
His words plant the seed of Skyden’s return.

[NARRATOR] The Future Is Coded: A Concept by V.RAGHAV. As a creator with a background in game design, 3D animation, and dubbing, I’ve been known by many names—from Raghavendra Vaddar to V.RAGHAV.

I even call myself Skyden sometimes, a name I gave to the protagonist of my latest creative project,
because I’ve put so much of myself into this story.

My true passion has always been for cinematic storytelling—the kind of science fiction and adventure films
that blend spectacle with psychological depth.

This project, Skyden Coded, is an idea born from that passion.
It's a concept I believe in, and I’m ready to share it with the world.

[NARRATOR] A Mind Across Time: The Core Idea. The central paradox of our hero,
a single consciousness existing across two different timelines, is what defines Skyden Coded.

This character is both Raghav, a passionate young electronics whiz in 2026, and Skyden,
a cynical, battle-hardened hero in 2070.

He is not a copy or a clone; he's a living consciousness bridge, a quantum anomaly
that makes him the key to a future he never asked for.

His very existence alone challenges a system that has tried to remove all uncertainty
from the universe.

[NARRATOR] The Themes that Drive the Story.

At its heart, Skyden Coded is a story about the profound difference between
surviving and truly living.

The world of 2070 is a cold, automated utopia ruled by an elite class that has “solved” death.
They have weaponized immortality to cling to power, creating a world where curiosity has died
and progress has plateaued.

This sets up a rebellion that is more than a fight for survival—it is a spiritual fight
for the natural order.

The Resistance isn't just seeking freedom; they are fighting for the right to age,
the right to learn, and the right to die.

This is the ultimate showdown between the hunger of youth and the stagnation of the eternal.

[NARRATOR] Meet the Players.

Our hero, Skyden, isn't alone. He's supported by a powerful Resistance,
a band of rebels who embody the human spirit.

There's Adam, the soul of the rebellion, whose fiery rage and fierce loyalty
make him a formidable force.

And there's Jenny, a character who acts as Skyden’s moral anchor,
challenging his cynicism and reminding him of the hope he’s fighting for.

On the other side stands the main antagonist, Shockwave, a cold and calculating figure
who personifies the regime’s obsession with absolute control.

He is more than just a villain; he is a dark reflection of a world that has replaced
the beautiful chaos of life with sterile, endless repetition.

[NARRATOR] Join the Journey.

This is a story I am committed to telling, and I am currently seeking collaborators,
producers, and investors to help bring this vision to the big screen.

If you're passionate about cinematic science fiction, I would love to connect and discuss
how we can make this happen.

[NARRATOR] Title: Skyden Coded. A V.RAGHAV's Film.
Staring Raghav as (Raghav and Skyden).

[NARRATOR] Story Synopsis.

The story follows Raghav, a young electronics enthusiast from a bustling Indian electronics market.
His obsession with building a virtual world brings him into contact with Skyden,
a cynical fighter in the year 2070.

Following a tragic incident that separates Raghav from his family, he mysteriously transforms
into the future version of himself—Skyden.

Now, as the leader of a resistance group against a cold and calculated figure named Shockwave,
Skyden must come to terms with his past to save the future.

[NARRATOR] Core Themes and Concepts.
Immortality as Power and Control.

In this future, death has been stripped of meaning. The wealthy elite,
terrified of losing power, have hijacked biology and technology to make themselves “immortal.”

They no longer age naturally; instead, they plateau into a sterile form of existence —
their minds dulled by endless years, their curiosity extinguished.

They rule not out of wisdom but out of sheer permanence.

The tragedy isn’t just that they live forever, but that they’ve weaponized time itself.
Generations are locked beneath them, unable to inherit the world or explore it,
suffocated by a regime that hoards both life and meaning.

[NARRATOR] The Death of Curiosity vs. the Hunger of Youth.

The central conflict isn’t only about survival — it’s about purpose.
The elders have traded discovery for preservation.

They’ve chosen to live forever without living at all.

In contrast, the youth — Adam, Jenny, Franklin, and others —
embody the primal human instinct to learn, to wander into the unknown, to risk death for meaning.

The resistance isn’t fighting just for freedom from oppression,
but for the right to burn brightly rather than exist in endless twilight.

[NARRATOR] Artificial Humans as Tools of Stagnation.

The ruling class has created artificial humans to handle labor, warfare, and even companionship.
These beings, designed with precision and obedience,
have replaced human creativity with mechanical repetition.

Real humans — especially the young — are robbed of function.

They are left in a cage of idleness, stripped of struggle, stripped of purpose.
The artificial workforce is the mirror of a world that has automated not only labor but life itself.

The rebellion, therefore, is as much about reclaiming struggle as it is about reclaiming freedom.

[NARRATOR] The Resistance and the Fight for Natural Order.

The resistance seeks to return the world to balance —
to reintroduce the reality of aging, death, and the cycle of life.

To them, mortality isn’t a weakness, it’s the fuel of existence.

Their war cry is not just political but spiritual: to die is human;
to live forever without growth is slavery.

Adam embodies this fight. He isn’t “chosen” in the way Skyden is, but his rage,
his grief, and his endless refusal to submit make him the soul of rebellion.

[NARRATOR] Skyden and Raghav: The Consciousness Bridge.

At the center of it all lies Skyden — once Raghav. He is not a clone, not a copy,
not a machine-made echo.

His consciousness threads across timelines like a quantum paradox,
existing in both past and present. He is living proof that a single human soul cannot be duplicated —
only transferred, connected, or refracted across time.

This makes him the fulcrum upon which the entire system balances.

To the elites, Skyden is the missing piece to stabilize their immortality project.
To the resistance, he is the bridge to topple it.

[NARRATOR] The Science of Paradox as Revolution.

Skyden embodies the quantum principle that particles — and minds — can exist
in multiple realities simultaneously.

His existence proves the system’s flaw: that identity, memory, and life cannot be caged forever.

In him, past and future collide, creating the paradox the elites both covet and fear.

The machine that predicts the future cannot function without Skyden because
he is the future, he is the past, and he cannot be controlled by either.

His consciousness is the wild card, the glitch in immortality’s code.

[NARRATOR] Satire of a Decaying World.

Beneath the science-fiction spectacle lies sharp commentary. The film satirizes the absurdity
of a society run by eternal, decayed minds — the way wealth clings to life,
the way politics becomes nothing more than ancient children playing with toys of war.

Through humor, banter, and fourth-wall cracks, Skyden calls out the absurdity directly,
mocking tropes and taunting both enemies and the audience alike.

He isn’t just a hero — he’s a commentator, a mirror, forcing us to question why we too watch, obey,
and accept systems that dull our own curiosity.

[NARRATOR] The Dual Ending: Destruction and Renewal.

Skyden’s journey isn’t about winning immortality or even survival —
it’s about breaking the machine of permanence.

His death, his rebirth, his paradoxical existence forces a collapse of the system itself.
The elites, stripped of their false eternity, are revealed as fragile, withered beings terrified of time.

The resistance, scarred but alive, faces a future uncertain but finally moving forward.

The story ends not with eternal answers but with eternal questions —
a world dangerous again, a world alive again.

[NARRATOR] Scene-by-Scene Breakdown.

(Camera glides through a bustling Indian electronics market — narrow lanes packed with shops,
cables hanging like vines, the hum of bargaining voices. The air smells of ozone, hot metal,
and fried snacks from a nearby stall.)

[INT. ELECTRONICS SHOP - DAY]

Raghav is sitting at the counter, hunched over a broken circuit board. His fingers, stained with solder
and a little grime, twist a loose wire into the shape of a miniature bolt of lightning.

The chaotic symphony of the market washes over him — the blare of horns, the shouted negotiations,
the tinny music from a competing shop.

He looks up as his father, a kind-faced man with laugh lines around his eyes,
finishes a transaction, his expression one of serious, practiced focus. This small counter is their world.

"Raghav, stop that. Help me sort these transistors," his dad says,
his voice a low hum against the market noise. He points to a large, unorganized box.

Raghav nods, but his hands remain on the circuit board, his mind already miles away.
He's not just twisting wires; he’s building the virtual worlds of his "Skyden game"
in his mind, tracing lines of code, creating logic gates, and envisioning the glowing landscapes.

His dad sighs, a sound filled with both weariness and a deep, unspoken frustration.
"This boy will drown in his dreams," he mutters to himself as he begins to sort the parts,
his movements a testament to decades of hard work.

"He thinks the world is made of circuit boards and wishes, not bills and bad luck."

(The shop's flimsy curtain is pushed aside, and Abhi's voice cuts through the air.)
"Stuck in the dungeon again, Bhaiya?" Abhi asks, his wide grin a stark contrast
to the serious atmosphere, before slinging an arm over Raghav’s shoulder.

"Thought you'd escape for a bit of sunshine."

Raghav leans in, his voice a low, eager whisper. "I have to get away. I need to work on the real project. I'm so close."

Abhi leans in conspiratorially. "Uncle," he says to Raghav’s dad,
"I’m taking him for tea, don’t worry. A genius needs his fuel."

Raghav’s dad looks at them, his face a mix of exasperation and deep-seated affection.
"Abhi, keep him grounded. He forgets there’s a real world outside his junk."

He hands Abhi a few crumpled rupees. "And don't spend all your money on him.
He'll just buy more trash for that garage of his."

Abhi winks. "Always, Uncle."

Raghav and Abhi slip out the back of the shop and into a small, cluttered garage.
It’s a sanctuary of tech chaos, a dim, dusty space filled with stacks of old CRT monitors,
tangled bundles of wiring, and shelves overflowing with salvaged circuit boards.

Raghav proudly points to his collection. "I've been collecting these for months.
I just pulled a 64-bit logic board from that old VCR; it's got the perfect architecture for the core matrix."

Abhi laughs, helping him unload a heavy bag of wires and chips he brought along.
"Every part helps," Abhi says, his tone supportive.

He watches Raghav work, seeing not just a project, but a glimpse of Raghav's
all-consuming obsession.

A little later, Raghav’s dad briefly checks in. His voice is softer now,
the business-owner facade gone, replaced by the loving father.

"Don’t be late for dinner."

Raghav, already deep in his work, nods distractedly without looking up.
His father watches him for a moment, a worried but loving expression on his face,
before quietly leaving.

He thinks of his wife, and how she would have understood this part of their son,
the part that lived in a world of circuits and dreams.

Raghav and Abhi head out for a short break, sitting at a small tea stall.
They sip sweet chai, the warmth seeping into their hands.

They talk about their futures, Raghav’s shy crush on a girl in his neighborhood,
and the impossible dream of making something out of nothing.

"You're a genius, man. You just gotta believe it," Abhi says, bumping shoulders with him.
"They’re all going to see that one day."

As the sun begins to set, casting long shadows down the narrow lanes,
Raghav walks back through the market, a sense of hope filling him.

He’s in slow motion, a dreamy look on his face, as if he’s walking into his destiny.

The low hum of the market, the distant calls of vendors,
the smell of street food — it all feels like home.

(A faint, high-pitched whine begins, growing louder.
Raghav looks up, frowning, then his eyes widen as a red dot appears on his machine.

The whine becomes a shriek.)

(Outside, the missile slams into the electronics store,
a flash of blinding light and a silent, terrible blast that tears through the market.)

(Camera cuts to Raghav in the middle of the dust cloud. The garage is gone,
the walls blown to pieces. The electronics store is a smoking ruin.

The air is thick with the smell of scorched metal and dust.)

(Raghav frantically searches through the rubble, calling for his father.
He finds him under a collapsed shelf, a metal beam across his chest, his eyes closed.

Raghav lets out a guttural scream.)

(Abhi, having heard the blast, rushes in and finds Raghav sobbing,
holding his father's body. Abhi puts an arm around Raghav, pulls him into a hug, and just holds him.)

(The camera slowly pulls away from the two friends, showing the devastation.
The market is a graveyard of dreams and metal.)

(SMASH CUT)

(Close-up — Skyden running through a narrow alley at night, breath ragged,
the sound of footsteps chasing him.)

'Alright, I don't have much time... I think I just had a near-death experience,'
Skyden mutters to himself, panting.

He leaped over a crate, landed hard, and kept running. 'Good thing we're in 2070.
Back in the day, a liver tap-out was a death sentence. Now, you just buy a new one.'

A faint smirk crossed his face, then a bullet whizzed past his head,
making him flinch. "Anyway… where was I? Oh right—I’m about two seconds away
from becoming street art, thanks to the charming folks behind me.

But you know how in movies, right when you’re about to die… some big, muscular savior shows up?"

He glanced over his shoulder, tripped on debris, and fell to the ground.
Villains closed in, guns drawn.

Skyden, lying there, still spoke to the camera. "Yeah… this is that part."

From the shadows, WHAM! A huge figure slammed one of the attackers into a wall.
Two more fighters appeared, moving fast, taking down enemies with precision.

One tossed Skyden a weapon.

"Meet my people," Skyden's voice-over began. "The Resistance. The folks who took me in
when I was just another street rat… and somehow decided to turn me into… this."

A quick montage of sepia-toned flashes showed a young Skyden in the Resistance hideout:
training with wooden sticks, stealing food, laughing around a campfire.

The scene cut back to the present fight—guns, fists, and chaos.

One of the fighters, clearly a mentor figure, hauled Skyden to his feet.
"Still can’t run without tripping, huh?" he grinned.

"Still can’t make an entrance without showing off, huh?" Skyden retorted.

They exchanged a quick nod, then rejoined the fight together.

(The fight ends, and the Resistance team brings Skyden into their underground hideout.
The facility is a hive of activity — a tech room humming with scavenged parts,
sleeping quarters, and weapon racks along the walls. It feels battle-worn but functional.)

Skyden stood on a raised platform in the main common area,
acting like a self-proclaimed leader giving an over-the-top speech.

"I stole the code! Now no one can stop us. We just need to build the machine…
then we control everything!"

As he talked, we saw flash cuts of Resistance members fending off smaller skirmishes outside,
a clear sign that trouble had followed him here.

Just as Skyden was mid-speech, Adam burst through the main entrance, shouting his name.
Adam, a physically imposing figure, stormed in and grabbed Skyden by the collar,
slamming him against the wall.

"You never listen!" Adam roared, his voice low and furious. "Because of you,
we had to relocate the entire facility. People almost died last time!"

Just as they were about to start a full fight, Mentor’s voice boomed from behind:
"Enough, both of you."

Adam reluctantly let go, muttering to himself but obeying,
showing the clear father-son dynamic between them.

The confrontation ended as the Resistance members gathered for a shared dinner.
Mentor sat at the head of the table, a happy expression on his face,
glad to have Skyden back.

Adam, however, stayed with his own team at a separate table, and lingering tension
was visible in the glances they exchanged.

The background chatter, the serving of food, and the laughter from other Resistance members
gave the scene a lived-in, human feel—a calm before the storm.

After dinner, Skyden headed to his quarters but was stopped by a female childhood friend.
She was clearly relieved to see him alive but her expression was stern.

"You should stay here and protect your people," she scolds him. "Stop chasing trouble."

Skyden just offered her a faint smile, not answering. She left, frustrated,
leaving Skyden’s silent stubbornness to hint at a deeper plan he was hiding.

Skyden walked past his quarters to his personal space—a hidden garage and workshop.
In the center sat a machine similar to Raghav’s from 2026, old and partly scavenged.

A subtle detail was revealed: he’d been collecting pieces for this for years.
He ran his hand across it, his eyes serious, and the audience realized
this was his true plan—he was playing a deeper game than even the Resistance knew.

[INT. RESISTANCE BASE – LATER THAT NIGHT]

Skyden's quarters are small and utilitarian. Jenny finds him packing a bag.
Her expression is a mix of concern and frustration.

JENNY:
You're leaving.

SKYDEN:
(Without looking up)
Just for a bit.

JENNY:
Skyden, we just got you back. After everything, you're just going to run off again?

SKYDEN:
I'm not running. I'm... getting things done.

JENNY:
(voice softens)
You promised me you'd stop. Stop chasing trouble. Stop putting yourself in danger.

Skyden finally looks at her. There's a flicker of something in his eyes, a depth she rarely sees.
He moves closer and gently takes her hand.

SKYDEN:
I can't. Not yet.

JENNY:
What is it you're so afraid of? You're not afraid of dying. What is it?

SKYDEN:
Losing what I haven't even found yet.

He pulls her into a hug, holding her close. It's a rare moment of intimacy for him.

(A quiet, high-pitched whine begins to fill the air, almost imperceptible.
A faint, glowing blue pattern on Skyden's armor flickers and fades.)

SKYDEN:
I have to go. Before they...

He pulls away, a flicker of panic in his eyes.

JENNY:
(Whispering)
Wait. Not yet.

She pulls him close and kisses him, long and slow. The hum grows louder,
his body glows faintly with a blue aura.

Suddenly, a screen on a nearby console flashes red with a single word: "DETECTION."

Skyden pulls away, his composure gone.

SKYDEN:
Damn it.

JENNY:
What?

SKYDEN:
They know where we are. My energy... I used too much of it. We have to go. Now.

JENNY:
This is fine here, but we should have done it on the ground.

SKYDEN:
(A faint, pained smile)
Yeah. If we did that, it would have been my last romance.

Jenny doesn't hesitate. She grabs his hand.

JENNY:
I know where we can go. Adam's vehicle.

[EXT. DESERT ROAD – LATER THAT NIGHT]

The modified vehicle speeds through the night, Adam driving hard.
Skyden is in the back seat, rubbing his jaw from the earlier fight with Adam.

Adam is driving, Franklin riding shotgun, and Jenny is in the back tending to minor cuts.

Franklin glances at the rearview mirror.

FRANKLIN:
“Uh… guys? We got company.”

On the horizon, a single missile streaks toward them.

Jenny and Franklin look at each other, then at the missile. Adam slams on the brakes.
The team jumps out of the vehicle, scattering.

Adam looks back at Skyden, who is still sitting in the back seat,
staring at the approaching missile.

ADAM:
(Screaming)
Jump, you idiot!

The missile zips over the vehicle and continues on its trajectory.

It flies toward the horizon, where the Resistance base is located.
The team looks in confusion, then the missile hits its target.

A blinding flash lights up the night sky, and a massive BOOM shakes the ground.

JENNY:
No...

ADAM:
(Turning to Skyden)
They're heading for the base!

Suddenly, another missile comes from the horizon and streaks toward their abandoned vehicle.
Before it hits, Adam runs toward the vehicle and grabs Skyden.

The missile strikes, sending a shockwave that flips the vehicle into the air.
Adam and Skyden are caught in the blast, sending them flying.

Adam lands hard, but Skyden, who took the brunt of the hit, goes limp and unconscious.

(Night. The road is still littered with the overturned, smoking remains of their vehicles.
The desert wind whistles through the silence.)

Adam paces near the wreckage, a wrench in his hand, his movements sharp with frustration
as he tries to repair the battered vehicle. Franklin leans against the side, watching.

FRANKLIN:
(voice is serious now)
You're really that worried about him? Is he… your real brother?

(Franklin looks at Skyden, notices his fractured left arm,
and sees the glimmer of metallic bone underneath the skin. His face hardens.)

FRANKLIN:
(Staring at the arm)
Is he...?

Adam doesn’t look up from his work. He knows what Franklin saw.

ADAM:
No. He’s adopted. Found him alone… years ago. Wouldn’t tell us where he came from.
My father—our father—took him in anyway.

The last base we had... we lost it because of him. He got emotional...
and they detected him. They knew where to find us.

He always does this. Chases something. Gets distracted.
He almost killed us all.

Jenny, still kneeling beside Skyden, adds quietly:
“First time I met him, he was already running away from something.

Always does. Always chasing something else.”

Adam smirks bitterly, tightening a bolt on the vehicle.

“Last time he fainted was when Dad yelled at him. After that… Dad never raised his voice again.
Treated him like the youngest. But he never listened. Still doesn’t.

But—he’s my brother. And my family’s trapped in that base. We can’t sit here.”

Franklin’s face hardens slightly. “At least you’ve got family. Mine’s gone.
My whole resistance cell’s wiped out. Just me now.”

A short silence falls, broken only by Adam slamming a metal panel shut.

Adam wipes his hands, nodding. “Alright. She’s good enough to move.
We get him inside, we go.”

He strides toward Skyden’s limp body. Jenny suddenly looks up.

JENNY:
“Wait—guys… it stopped.”

ADAM:
“The… sound?”

JENNY:
“Yeah. The echo… it’s gone.”

FRANKLIN:
“Maybe the battery died.”

JENNY:
“Not funny.”

Adam crouches, reaching to lift Skyden. Skyden’s eyes snap open.
He lets out a sharp, ragged scream, clutching his head.

Quick flashes — Raghav’s life, his voice, his memories — rapid, disjointed images:
a lab, burning streets, a hidden code etched into metal, someone shouting his name.

His breathing is erratic, his eyes unfocused.

A sudden deep boom shakes the air.

A blinding flash lights the horizon—the direction of the resistance base.

Adam turns sharply.

ADAM:
“No…”

The shockwave from the blast sends dust whipping around them.
The bright flare seems to snap Skyden back to reality.

His breathing steadies, the visions fade.

He blinks, looking at the others, still dazed.

FRANKLIN:
“Well… welcome back, Sleeping Beauty.”

ADAM:
“Get him in. We’re moving. Now.”

INT. RESISTANCE BASE – MOMENTS AFTER THE BLAST

Dust and debris rain down. Emergency lights flicker.

The roof of the cavernous hideout has been torn open by the blast.
Chunks of concrete and steel crash to the ground.

Mentor is already in position, rallying the fighters. His team is fighting
a swarm of Shockwave’s side villains—drones, robots, and armored soldiers.

Mentor is holding his own, but he's visibly wounded, bleeding from a gash on his arm.

Meanwhile, high in his control room overlooking the battle, Shockwave is watching the chaos
with a cold smirk.

His gaze sweeps over the fighting until a specific visual feed pops up on his screen:
the arrival of Adam, Jenny, and Franklin carrying an unconscious Skyden.

Shockwave’s eyes widen slightly. He sees his ultimate prize.
The cold smirk transforms into a genuine smile.

SHOCKWAVE:
(To himself)
Looks like the wild card just showed up.

He puts on his helmet and gestures to his guards.

SHOCKWAVE:
Keep them busy. The fun is just getting started.

He steps onto a small, personal platform, which lowers him directly into the cavern.

(Suddenly, a loud sonic boom breaks the air. Adam's vehicle bursts into the cavern,
crashing through the breach in the roof. Adam, Jenny, and Franklin leap out, ready to fight.)

Shockwave lands with a dramatic plume of smoke and dust, his helmet retracting
to reveal his smirk.

He doesn't even acknowledge Mentor or the other fighters. His eyes are fixed on Skyden.

(Shockwave smiles and gestures to a smaller drone. It flies to Skyden and a similar hook
shoots out, piercing Skyden's chest.)

Skyden gasps, then looks at the camera, a smirk on his face. He's lifted into the air.

SKYDEN:
This is it. This is where I go from hero to meme. Don't let me down.

He's pulled up slowly. He's bleeding, his energy flickering, his voice strained
but still sarcastic.

Jenny runs to him, reaching for him, but can't. Adam follows, frustrated.

SKYDEN:
(to Jenny, his voice soft)
Jenny... I feel so... cold.

He's trying to make a joke, but his words are serious. The hook holds him in place.
Jenny is holding his hand, crying.

She tries to pull the hook out.

JENNY:
(sobbing)
Hold on, Skyden! I'm going to get this out.

SKYDEN:
(looking at Jenny, a weak grin)
You're right... We should have done that on the ground.

Franklin looks at the hook, a grimace on his face. He's trying to be funny, but he's hurt.

FRANKLIN:
Don't worry, man, I've seen bigger hooks. You'll be fine.

Adam is enraged. He tries to jump and grab Skyden, but falls to the ground.
He's screaming.

SKYDEN:
(to Adam, his voice straining)
Hey, listen, Adam. Listen to me. This is important... The vehicle... the one you love... it's a mess.

Adam looks at him, confused.

SKYDEN:
And... it was a little dirty... when we used it... to hide.

Skyden's eyes lose their focus. His body goes limp.

Shockwave's drone pulls him away, toward the hovercraft. Shockwave follows.

JENNY:
(sobbing, screaming)
SKYDEN!

ADAM:
(screaming, filled with rage)
I'll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU!

Franklin rushes to Adam and holds him back. Adam is screaming.

Jenny is still crying, reaching for Skyden as he disappears into the darkness.

FRANKLIN:
(whispering, to himself)
Well... he's a machine. I don't think he's dead.
