OPENING — A RED WARNING FROM THE SKY

Night falls like a bruise.
The air feels heavier than usual, and the clouds look wrong — pulsing red like they’re bleeding light.

Antoinette, the crew, and the scattered survivors stand on the abandoned service road miles from the last ambush site. Everyone’s exhausted. Everyone’s paranoid. But nobody wants to sleep.

Then Raheem, the quiet ex-military survivor, points upward.

Raheem:
“Y’all see that? Sky’s not supposed to… move like that.”

The clouds ripple. Like something massive is breathing behind them.

Antoinette already knows —
This is the next phase.

🔦 SCENE 2 — THE HUNT BEGINS

The Chosen Ones feel the shift first — their skin prickles, their ears ring, their hearts sync.

A deep vibrating hum rises from the forest line.

Antoinette:
“Everyone get low. Don’t move unless I move.”

Out of the trees…
three humanoid figures walk out, dressed like regular people:
hoodies, jackets, jeans…
but their footsteps don’t match their movements.
Their shadows stretch seconds behind them.

Reptilians in full mimic mode.

They’re hunting.
Not rushing. Not attacking.
Just… watching.

Sharif whispers:

“Bestie… they learning our behaviors.”

Antoinette shakes her head.

“They already studied us. Now they’re testing us.”

🚗 SCENE 3 — THE CAR TRAP

The group gets back on the road, moving fast. Their SUV rattles, headlights cutting through fog.

But halfway down a curved stretch of empty highway…

Every car abandoned on the road suddenly turns on.
Headlights BLINDING.
Engines revving on their own.
Doors slamming open and shut like jaws.

Tia screams, “THAT’S NOT NORMAL!”

Antoinette hits the brakes, barely stopping before plowing into a spinning minivan.

The Reptilians are controlling the electronics — mimicking human panic to lure them in.

And then it happens.

A black SUV down the road begins backing up fast…
no driver inside.

RUNNING THEM DOWN.

Antoinette yells:

“EVERYBODY OUT! NOW!”

They jump out as the SUV plows into their vehicle — crushing metal, shattering glass.

🔥 SCENE 4 — ACTION CHAOS (WITH A LITTLE COMEDY)

The group runs up the wooded hill.
One girl, Kiarra, slips and screams:

“NOT MY NEW WIG — THIS AIN’T THE DAY FOR THIS!”

Antoinette grabs her by the collar:

“Bestie, your wig can come back. We can’t. MOVE!”

Behind them the abandoned cars begin lifting…
floating…
rising 10 feet in the air and spinning like a ritual.

The Reptilians walk calmly beneath them, heads turning in smooth, glitchy motions.

🧬 SCENE 5 — THE TRUTH HITS

While hiding in a drainage tunnel, Antoinette finally reveals what she learned from Episode 4:

The creatures weren’t aliens.
They weren’t demons.
They weren’t myths.

They were genetically engineered thousands of years ago by an unknown ruling empire.
Placed on Earth to activate during global instability.

And now…
they’ve fully awakened.

Raheem shakes his head:

“So we ain’t runnin’ from monsters…
We runnin’ from insurance policies.”

Antoinette:
“They’re not here to wipe us out.
They’re here to reset the planet.”

—

🧠 SCENE 6 — THE NEW POWER AWAKENS

The Chosen Ones start sensing vibrations in the air —
the creatures’ communication frequency.

Antoinette grabs her chest —
not in pain, but in awakening.

She can now tell which humans are real
and which are mimics
before they even reveal themselves.

Her eyes flicker gold for a moment.

Sharif:
“Uhhh bestie? Why your eyes doing Beyoncé Renaissance chrome right now?”

Antoinette smirks:

“Because we’re leveling up.”

👣 FINAL SCENE — THE SHADOW IN THE WOODS

They make it to the top of the ridge, breathless.

But standing there is a silhouette.
Human-shaped.
Motionless.
Watching them.

When  Antoinette steps forward, the figure steps back into the dark — but its eyes stay visible, glowing like molten amber.

It whispers her name…
with HER OWN voice.

Episode ends.
