Prologue

Kenji can barely stand, as he uses the boulder next to him to provide some support. He closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths, trying to ignore the pain. Don't mess up, focus on what you practiced, they're counting on you. That's all Kenji can think about. We've been in this battle for what feels like ages. But I can't show weakness now, not with the others around. He finally opens his eyes and sees blood dripping down, not knowing who it belongs to. Kenji lifts his head at the war before him. Everywhere he looks, blood flows through the ground like a river. Bodies of his allies and enemies lay everywhere.

BOOM!

A giant head crashes down next to Kenji, soon turning into fog and filling his lungs. Kenji peaks around the boulder and sees Jin and Chung fighting against an army of tenedraugs. Creatures of all species, nightmarish monsters, with blood-red eyes, and a dark purple mist that flows from their bodies, all imbued with dark magic. The two get ready as they both send a sonic blast with so much force it almost knocks him out from a hundred yards away. The giant tenedraugs feel the pressure of the explosion, disintegrating immediately.

Kenji can't help but stare in awe. As he watches in every direction, more warriors he admires. Legendary ninjas, many moving as one, knowing each other's movements like it's their own. Conjuring fire and electricity in the air and transferring it through their opponents. They land hit after hit until the tenedraug falls to the ground, evaporating through the battlefield.

A gust of wind breezes past Kenji as Sungwoo rides his horse, hurdling over the bodies. With his target in sight, Sungwoo vaults off his horse toward a group of tenedraugs. A move that resembles a ballet as he glides through the air with such grace. Spinning and striking them all down with a flurry of precise slashes. Landing back on the horse without the horse even losing a step, as the tenedraugs all fall behind him.

A cloud of tenedraugs float in the sky, as a bright green light surrounds Mei. She concentrates her energy as she gathers and traps them in rings of light. The tenedraugs struggle as they're trapped like fish in a net, desperately trying to escape. Mei glares at the tenedraugs with disgust and clenches her fist, crushing them into a fine dust.

More monsters approach from across the battlefield. When a monstrous roar fills the air. Yama sprints and bulldozes through the avalanche of enemies. Punching and moving his fists with such ferocity, the whole battlefield shakes. The impact of Yama's haymakers crunch and crack anything in his path. Turning his enemies into nothing more than liquid. Yama lets out another roar as he raises his blood-soaked fists.

Arrows fall from the sky as archers from the top of the tower launch arrow after arrow, killing many down below. A gush of wind throws Kenji off-balance as Sora and Junichi glide through the air and to the top of the tower with such fluidity that it's almost hypnotizing. As the archers launch more arrows, aiming to kill the two, they both create a windstorm with their gigantic swords, sending the arrows back and through the archers. While the archers fall to their deaths, the two ride the falling bodies, using them to slide down the tower like a snowboard down a mountain, back to the battle.

A giant approaches the tower, winding up to slam his fists into Junichi and Sora. When Yong, the youngest of the group, climbs the giant and slams both fists through the giant's skull, sending its head into his shoulders. As the giant tumbles and falls, it slams onto a cloud of tenedraugs below, turning all of them into a dark mist.

Then, there's Kenji and Ito, side by side, hoping not to mess up and somehow survive this in one piece. Kenji continues to swing his swords. Fueling the blade with thunder, crackling the air with each swing. Shocking and frying all his enemies. Taking a more brutal approach, Ito rips the beast in half, throwing each side to knock down the approaching enemies.

Finally, the battle is at its end. Our leader is ready for the final strike to this blood-soaked war. Jin powers up his attack, manipulating the magical energy around him as a green aura shines around him. The Dark King Callimor stares at his Kingdom, as his castle crumbles before him.

Jin yells out to the Dark King. "You have caused enough chaos. This ends now."

Callimor turns to face us, with such hate in his eyes, unable to accept defeat. He pulls out a shadowy gem and uses its remaining energy to perform a spell that will doom them all. A purple aura surrounds him, as he stares at them with those menacing eyes. Jin shakes with the energy that flows within, almost too much for his body to handle. Everyone looks on, wanting to help, but this responsibility must fall on only one. Jin points his wand and recites the spell to finally end the reign of the Dark King.

At that moment, a blissful calling comes when the director yells.

"Cut."

The scene is finally over, 27 takes later.
