Chapter 4 – “A Candle in the Graveyard”
Narrator (The PSI Queen): “There are places where the veil between worlds thins. Places where memory lingers… where the living and the dead share silence. In these places… truths bloom like flowers in ash.”
Scene 1 – [EXT. ABANDONED CEMETERY – NIGHT]
The moon casts pale light over broken tombstones. Cole sits cross-legged in front of a grave with no name. The rose he revived glows faintly beside him.
Cole (In his mind): “Still don’t know if this is bravery or if I’m just bad at running.”
Wind stirs. The PSI Queen’s voice echoes softly in his mind.
PSI Queen: “This place remembers. You’re not the first Chosen to sit here… but you may be the last.”
Scene 2 – [FLASHBACK: UNKNOWN CHOSEN – 10,000 YEARS AGO]
[A figure—hooded, armored in fractured PSI light—kneels at the same grave.]
They whisper: “Forgive me, Queen. I failed. They are gone.”
A storm of stars crackles. Reality folds. The past vanishes.
Scene 3
Cole enters the cemetery, strolling around. He hears screams nearby, the screams of a grown man.
Man: “Ge-Get the hell offa me!! Someone help!!”
A hand grasps his leg tight, the Man tries to break free. Suddenly a zombie-like creature rises, attempting to bite him.
Cole (In his mind): “Alright..”
Cole rushes in just in time, He kicks the zombie’s head clean off. It died easily.
Man: “T-Thanks kid.. how’d you even—?”
Cole cuts the man off
Cole: “ . . . “
He ordered him to leave. Come equipped his baseball bat, the same one Sora used when they confronted Abraxus.
Suddenly a swarm of Bug-Aliens and Zombies rise, reaching out for Cole. But with his strong willpower by his side, he easily fights them off, unleashing PSI Attacks.

Cole (In his mind): “I need to slow them all down, there’s to many! I need to end it all quick.”
Cole channels all of his energy into his mind. Then, he unleashed a PK Flash.
Cole: “PK Flash!!”
Cole hoped they all disintegrate quickly, but it his surprise—they instead start… crying??
Zombie 1: “B-Waaaahhahaha!!! :’(“
Zombie 2: (Cries uncontrollably)
The Enemies Cole was once fighting are now.. in sorrow? Cole didn’t mind, this gave him a chance to attack.
Cole: “Hiya!”
After about an hour, Cole finished his job. He heard two men approaching with tasers, possibly cops. Cole the. Fled the scene.
Scene 4 – [INT. PSI QUEEN’S REALM – ASTRAL ZOOM]
The PSI Queen stands in a sphere of threads—each glowing strand is a life. The strands pulse brighter
PSI Queen (In her own mind): “So quickly he learns and adapts… and yet, he still doubts.”
PSI Queen (softly): “The Thread of Fate begins to twist. And in the twist… something ancient stirs.”

Cole then leaves Tteno, remembering the new allies he’s made.
Scene 6
A dark figure stands beside—a twisted psychic soldier with no eyes, no mouth… just silence.
Argon: “The boy unlocks faster than expected. But light burns brightest just before it’s snuffed.”
He turns to the soldier.
Argon (smirking): “Tell the Memoryless… it’s time to reclaim their thoughts.”
