The Greatest Swordsmen

EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE – MORNING LIGHT SHIMMERING

The wind carries the last note of Lyrica's voice. Across from her stands Yurei, holding the glowing Tonal Sword. The crowd hushes.*

A sudden spark between them—

💥 BOOM!

A glowing barrier of sound and light bursts into a dome, trapping them both inside the duel ring.

MAEN:

What the hell?!

SYLDEN:

It's a Harmony Lock! No one can interrupt a song-bound battle!

NYARI (clenching fists):

This is going too far...

INT. INSIDE THE BARRIER – FLOATING PLATFORM

They stand on a shimmering battlefield of shifting musical notes. Every step they take echoes with harmony. Swords drawn. Voices raised.

💥 THE SONG BEGINS 💥

🎤"DUET OF BLADES" 🎤

(Yurei & Lyrica's Singing Sword Battle)

A combination of gentle ethereal vocals (Yurei) and fiery pop-rock (Lyrica).)

YUREI (soft, rising):

🎵

I was born of silence, drowned in flame,

My voice returned with ash and name.

Each step I take—each breath I find—

I sing to heal, not to blind.

🎵

LYRICA (smirking, electric beat):

🎵

You think your scars can write a song?

My stage was fire all along!

If pain makes power, let it show!

'Cause I don't break—I steal the show!

🎵

CLASH! Their swords strike, sending out shockwaves that ripple like sound waves.

YUREI (voice trembling but rising):

🎵

The sword was never yours to take…

You sing for power—I sing to wake.

This melody was born from grief—

Not pride, not fame, not brief relief.

🎵

LYRICA (twirling mid-air, kicking off a note):

🎵

Your lullabies will only fade—

My anthem carves, my rhythm slays!

Let your truth be washed in gold—

While I burn it fierce and bold!

🎵

The barrier pulses with color. Outside, villagers shield their eyes.

VILLAGER:

They're tearing the sky apart!

SHIN-RI (shouting):

Yurei! Stay focused!

FINAL CHORUS — BOTH VOICES MERGE, HARMONIZE, THEN COLLIDE

🎵

YUREI & LYRICA (overlapping):

Let the sky decide, let the blade divide,

We are echoes, pain and pride!

If the world must end in sound,

Let our voices shake the ground!

🎵

FINAL HIGH NOTE — THE CLIMAX

They both leap toward each other. Yurei's sword sings. Lyrica's sword screams.

They both strike—

💥 CLANG!!!

—an explosion of light and sound splits the barrier like glass.

Smoke and silence.

INT. VILLAGE SQUARE — POST-CLASH

Yurei is on the ground, breathing heavily, bleeding from the lip. Her eyes wide. Her hand—empty.

MAEN (rushing forward):

Yurei! Are you okay?!

Everyone looks up—

LYRICA stands at the edge of the smoke.

Her body glows with new power. But her face… shows no joy.

LYRICA (quietly):

Sorry. But this song… it was always a solo.

SHE OPENS A PORTAL — FLAMES BEHIND IT

A swirling rift to a world between music and madness. Her silhouette stands at the edge of it.

SYLDEN (furious):

Don't you dare—!

LYRICA (softly):

You all wanted harmony.

But sometimes… the world needs a scream.

She turns her head.

LYRICA (to Yurei):

Thanks for warming up the crowd.

She steps through. The portal vanishes in silence.

FINAL SHOT

Yurei looks up, tears in her eyes. Her voice—broken again.
