Shenzi finally manages to run his way through the forest. Huffing and puffing, the bloodstains of his journey as proof of his iron-clad will. What is the feeling of pain? Pain is only a source of encouragement. Pain lets you know you're still alive. Pain is the line that opens up a new path. Pushing through it all to be reborn.
Shenzi continues his path to the village's temple. The villagers are walking in line like mind-controlled puppets. Lifeless eyes, pale faces like opening your parent's room only to see them murdered in fresh blood. Shenzi begins following the villagers unknown of what's going on.
Looking up at the sky black smoke and red fog mix. Like a cage, Shenzi and everyone in the village is locked in with no key. After tailing the villagers for 10 minutes, Shenzi arrives at the temple. Only to see his lover Adria, standing in the middle of a pentagon stabbing a knife through her heart.
In an uncontrollable rage and tears streaming down Shenzi's face like rain. Shenzi bursts forward like a man who just took Viagra. The controlled villagers as if ordered telepathically begin attacking Shenzi. With rage, Shenzi throat punches the villager closest to him, dislocates their hand and takes their knife. Extending the knife out with his right hand, and clenching his left hand into a fist held close to his chin. Shenzi begins his path forward killing and beating the puppets who were once his family and friends.
Ragged breathing and blood dripping from Shenzi's shoulder. A hatchet lays stabbed halfway through his shoulder with bones visible. Shenzi beheads the last villager and falls to the ground panting like a dog. With pain coursing through his body and a desire to hold Adria one more time. Shenzi painfully crawls over to Adria's body. Adria lies with her back on the earth, with eyes open unfocused with blood tears rolling down. No emotion, no expression, no connection Adria lies dead to the world. Shenzi howls mournfully hugging her body into his chest.
Amidst Shenzi's bestial roars of rage and despair. Clapping echoes through the temple's courtyard. Blood mist fills the air. Shao sits on the sign with the temple burnt down to the ground behind him. Shenzi looks into Shao's crazed eyes. Roaring in rage,"You bastard, you killed Adria, and you killed our family, and our friends
Shao laughs maniacally "Good evening brother. I'm so glad you were able to join this party" Shao stands up and takes out the Sabre from his sheath, walking towards Shenzi, Shao proclaims "Tonight brother you're the last person to be sacrificed. My pent-up hatred towards you can only be claimed with my own hands."

Shenzi bites down onto his sword. Grabs the handle of the hatched wedged 15 cm deep into his shoulder and rips it out. Charging at Shao in long strides, Shenzi's body aches but his fury and the demon residing in his heart awakens at this very moment. Black fog pours out of Shenzi's body covering his hatchet.
CLANG
Shao and Shenzi's Sabre and hatchet collide. In a pitch black village, the spark ignites like a sea of diamonds. Shenzi lifts his right leg and whips it like a giraffes neck at Shao's right arm. Shao takes the hit despite his arm being numb. Shao smiles viciously pulling out the hand dagger from his left pocket, and stabbing into Shenzi's right leg. Shenzi used this as an opening to sacrifice his right leg to slash Shao's chest twice, forming a bloody red x with blood gushing out.
Shao and Shenzi both grin like madmen enjoying the thrill of a life and death battle. Shenzi with one leg bordering useless. Shao dashes towards Shenzi stabbing his Sabre through Shenzi's chest. Shenzi coughs out a mouthful of blood Shao whispers into Shenzi's ear, "This is checkmate brother. Die like the dog you are and allow me to gain the power of a god."
Shenzi's vision grows blurry, Body unstable walking backward finally falling. Shenzi's heartbeat slowing the image of Adria replays itself in his mind. Creating a miracle Shenzi stubbornly stands up, Descending into madness and shouting to the world. Alternatively, as a declaration for himself "I WILL AVENGE YOU ADRIA!" Shenzi makes a last-ditch effort while Shao's guard is down. Running and jumping from 7 meters away from Shao, Shenzi's body fueled by his willpower and spirit. Breaks the binds humans are genetically imprisoned Shenzi cleaves his right arm like a whip. The hatchet is burying itself into Shao's neck and sending it flying with a water fountain of blood gushing upwards. Shenzi falls on his back exhausted as his life declines.
Shao's body falls headless to the ground. His blood as fuel, the fire ignites Shao's body turning it into ashes. Shenzi lifts his hand up to the sky one last time. The picture of his lover Adria's final embrace. Adria's manifestation clasps hands with Shenzi one last time.
A sudden wind blows through the village. The rose Shenzi had plucked fresh this morning. One of its petals falls off from the stem, swept along the wind slowly descends and lands in the middle of Shenzi's right palm. Shenzi feeling the "warmth" of Adria's hand clasps one more time, as his hand descends to earth no longer moving.
The so-called "god" manifested by Shao lurks out watching this grand "movie" mutters to himself, "It's a shame the younger brother died. However, in return, the older brother was the real monster among them. If I can extract his heart, I surely will be able to become invincible."
As the "god" goes to claim Shenzi's body, a streak of black lightning descends breaking the red fog formation. Striking the "god" with heaven's wrath. A white light cuts the demon's seed in Shenzi's heart and teleports his body away. Despite being on the border of life and death. Shenzi's right-hand stays clasped as Adria's last "Tears Of Rose" rests peacefully.
