Narrator (The PSI Queen): “Not all battles are won by strength. Some are won by staying when every part of you wants to flee. And sometimes… true courage begins with a shaky voice saying: ‘I’m still here.’”

  Scene 1

  [EXT. CITY OF TTENO – LATE MORNING]

  The portal hums shut behind Cole as he stumbles out of it… and into a trash can.

  Cole (groaning - in his mind): “Great entrance, Chosen One. Real heroic.”

  The city of Tteno is busy as ever. Cars roll through snowy streets. Buildings still show cracks from the previous alien encounter, but life continues.

  Cole adjusts his bag and takes a deep breath.

  Cole (In his mind): “Okay. No Queen. No Sora. No backup. You’ve trained. You’re ready. Probably.”

  His stomach growls.

  Cole (dryly): “Maybe fate can pay for lunch.”

  Scene 2

  Cole walks past the local bookstore—“Tteno Pages”—where he used to go with someone special.

  The memories hit hard.

  Suddenly—

  BOOM!

  A crash down the street. Screams.

  Cole rushes to the scene.

  Scene 3

  A hovercraft has landed crooked in the middle of an intersection. Three short, cloaked alien figures with glowing orange eyes are barking orders in a strange language.

  Civilians are frozen in place—not by fear, but by psychic force.

  Cole (nervous - in his mind): “They’re not Abraxus-level… right?”

  Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  He steps forward, pretending to be confident.

  Cole (waving): “Hey, Space Goblins! Tteno’s full. Try Earth’s Yelp page next time!”

  One alien hisses and launches a telekinetic push at him. Cole dodges, barely.

  Cole (In his mind):“Alright! Guess we’re doing this the hard way!”

  He plants his feet, channels his PSI—and pushes back.

  Scene 4

  As the fight unfolds, several civilians break free of the mind-hold. Specially among them:

  Zora – A girl with dyed green hair and a serious look. She doesn’t scream—she scans the aliens like a tactician. She looks around Cole’s age..

  Zora grabs a fallen baton from a cop and fights beside Cole.

  Zora: “You fight like you’ve done this before.”

  Cole (in his mind): “I fight like someone who wishes he hadn’t.”

  Cole: “Wait—What are you doing here?? It’s not sa-“

  Cole is almost hit by a laser beam. He distracts the aliens with flashy tricks, while Zora—somehow—uses a taser to knock over a charging alien?!

  Cole sees it.

  Cole (thinking): “Wait… she’s some kind of hero here..?”

  Cole unleashes a telekinetic wave that knocks one of the two Aliens, leading Zora to land a clean kick. Cole then amplified himself to punch the Alien far away.

  Together, they overpower the invaders for hours. As the last one retreats, Zora closes her eyes and whispers something:

  Zora (quietly): “They’re not the only ones coming.”

  Scene 5

  As the authorities arrive, Cole slips away with the Girl to a nearby rooftop.

  Zara: “I owe you one.”

  Cole (sighs): “I don’t feel like a hero. I’m scared most of the time. I miss my home. I don’t know what I’m doing half the time.”

  Zara (softening): “Sounds like a hero to me.”

  Zora speaks again, her voice gentle but firm.

  Zora: “You didn’t run. That matters more than anything.”

  Cole looks up in the sky. Then he looks down at his legs.

  Cole: “Okay.”

  Cole: “Who are you again? Zora? Nice. I’m off saving the Universe (and Multiverse..) from evil Alien threats planning on destroying the earth..”

  Zora (worried): “You look like you’re 12??”

  Cole: “ . . . “

  Scene 6

  Later that evening, as the sun sets, the PSI Queen appears in Cole’s head.

  PSI Queen: “Three new allies have entered the weave.”

  Cole (in his mind): “You saw them?”

  PSI Queen (smiling): “I don’t just see fate, Cole. I feel it. These three… they’ll walk with you someday.”

  Cole looks out over the city lights, hands in his pockets.

  Cole (In his mind): “Then I’ll protect them. All of them. Even if I’m afraid.”

  PSI Queen (placing a hand on his shoulder):“And that, Montgomery, is exactly why you were chosen.”

  Cole smiles at this, he then heads to a abandoned cemetery. He noticed a dead rose, so he gives it life.

  Cole (In his mind): “There..”

  Final Shot

  A star flickers above Tteno. But this time—it blinks back.

  A new presence watches from space… a figure with violet armor and a crown of circuits.

  Unknown Voice (in the void): “So… the boy awakens. And so shall I soon..”
