Synopsis

After years of running from his dark past, Logan finds himself once again hunted by forces he helped create. Lost between fragmented memories, ghosts of war, and broken promises, he is forced to confront what he fears most: the truth about who he is... and what was done to him. In the heart of Japan — amidst blades, honor, and blood — Logan faces enemies from both past and present, including the brutal Victor Creed, the relentless Lady Deathstrike, the lethal Omega Red, and the sadistic visionary Nathaniel Essex. But as he tries to protect the young Mariko and uncover his true origins, Logan realizes that the greatest battle isn’t against monsters... but against the man he has become.

  • otsutsuki Episode 1 - Blood and Ice: The storm howls over the forests of northern Canada. Snow covers the ground like a white, endless grave. The wind lashes against a wooden cart, slowly pulled by two exhausted horses. James McDougall, a solitary fisherman, returns to his cabin after a hard day. As he opens the barn doors, something makes him stop. Beneath the hay, wrapped in torn rags and stained with dried blood, a man lies motionless. His chest rises and falls slowly, his hands are wounded, but healing before the fisherman’s eyes. McDougall approaches cautiously. The stranger suddenly opens his eyes—wild, tormented eyes. "Where... am I?" The voice is hoarse, almost a growl. "A few miles from anything. You were freezing out there." The stranger tries to get up, but his head throbs. His vision darkens, and he collapses back into the hay. And then, the past hits him like a brutal blow. The Past: Blood in the Snow Inside a cold, metallic lab, Logan is submerged in a glass tank. Wires extend from his head. His naked body is covered in electrodes. The green liquid around him bubbles as he thrashes. His eyes snap open, full of rage and fear. Outside the tank, a man writes data on a clipboard. Dr. Cornelius, a scientist with lifeless eyes, mutters to an assistant: "His resistance is... fascinating." Inside the tank, Logan punches the glass, screams, but there’s no sound. Panic takes over as his vision fades. Back in the present, Logan wakes up with a grunt, his body drenched in sweat. He looks around, breathing heavily. The fisherman watches him, leaning against the door. "Nightmares?" McDougall asks. Logan doesn't reply. He gets up slowly, rubbing his face. Outside, the wind howls fiercely. He doesn’t know where he is. He doesn’t know who he is. Dirty Missions from the Past The fire crackles in the fireplace. Logan stares into the flames, and his mind pulls him back into the past. 1973 – A secret military base. Team X prepares for a mission. Victor Creed, alongside Agent Zero and Silverfox, checks his weapons. "Another mission, another day being the government’s dogs," Victor mutters, sharpening his claws. "At least they pay well," Agent Zero replies, loading a pistol. The mission leader, William Stryker, enters the room and surveys the gathered soldiers. "You’re going to infiltrate a Soviet facility in Siberia. We need a highly classified artifact. Follow orders. No witnesses." Logan frowns. Something doesn’t feel right. But he doesn’t question. He never questions. Omega Red and the Mutant Hunter Snow falls like ash over the Soviet base. Team X moves quickly and lethally, silently taking out guards. But something’s wrong. The lab is a horror scene. Bodies of Soviet soldiers hang from the ceiling, drained of blood. Silverfox covers her mouth. "What happened here?" The answer comes from the darkness. "Experimentation. The same as they did to you." Omega Red emerges. His body is a nightmare—pale, hulking, carbonadium tentacles whipping around him. "You’re just lab rats. Like me." The fight begins. Logan charges first. His claws gleam in the cold light as he strikes brutal blows, but Omega Red’s tentacles are faster, wrapping around his neck and slamming him against the wall. Victor joins the attack. He tears into Omega Red’s side, but the monster just smiles. "You have no idea who’s pulling the strings, do you?" He hurls Logan away. Silverfox screams as Omega Red grabs her by the hair and throws her against the glass. Stryker betrayed them. He knew what was here. He wanted to see what would happen. Omega Red escapes, leaving only one final message: "You were never soldiers. You were always test subjects." The Present: The Hunted Becomes the Prey Logan opens his eyes again. He’s in the cabin, but everything feels quieter now. Then, he smells it. Gunpowder. Someone’s outside. He rises and steps toward the door, instincts on high alert. As he opens it, a tranquilizer dart hits his shoulder. He roars. His muscles tense, but his legs give out. He sees men in black emerge from the darkness, the Essex Corp emblem stitched onto their uniforms. Before everything goes black, he hears a voice. "Mr. Essex wants him alive." Post-Credit Scene A laboratory lit by cold, impersonal white lights. On a steel table, a vial of blood is being analyzed. It glows with something strange—something mutant. The camera pans up. Nathaniel Essex smiles. He spins the vial between his fingers and whispers: "The next step in evolution... finally in my hands."

  • otsutsuki EPISODE 5 - The Adamantium Demon: ACT 1: THE SINS OF THE PAST Snow falls slowly over the wooden cabin hidden in the Shirakawa-go mountains. The silence is only broken by the crackling of wood burning in the fireplace. The camera slides inside, where Logan is seen with his back turned, shirtless, cleaning a deep wound on his shoulder—marks left by his battle with the Silver Samurai in the previous episode. Mariko sits in a corner, wrapped in a thick cloak, gazing out the window. Her face is torn between relief and anguish. There’s a fragile peace in the air, like the calm before a new storm. Mariko: (softly) "You could have killed him. Why didn't you?" Logan doesn’t answer immediately. He sews his own skin with almost military precision, his face clouded with old shadows. Logan: "Because one day, I would've done the same for him." He sits, his gaze lost in the fire. Flashbacks begin in quick, saturated cuts: soldiers shouting, dark laboratories, and Keni (the Samurai) saving Logan from a burning building. Both younger. Torn Japanese uniforms, fighting side by side against genetically altered Russian soldiers—a glimpse of a forgotten war. Logan (voice-over): "In 1945, there were no heroes. Only survivors. And Keni... he saved me when no one else would have." Mariko approaches, touching Logan's shoulder. She speaks with contained pain: Mariko: "You've always been surrounded by death, Logan. Maybe that’s why it keeps following you." Cut to outside the cabin. At the top of a tree, Lady Deathstrike watches, motionless like a statue. A small drone floats beside her, capturing the conversation and transmitting it to a holographic screen on her forearm. An icon blinks: ESSEX CORP - LIVE TRANSMISSION. She closes her eyes for a second. An emotional glimpse. Doubt? Deathstrike (whispering to herself): "You’re still trying to be human." Back inside, Mariko picks up an envelope from the table. The Yashida family symbol is marked with red wax. She hesitates before opening it—the letter is short, direct, written by her uncle: "Come back. Or you’ll lose your name. And your blood." Mariko grips the paper tightly. Her eyes meet Logan’s. Mariko: "They want me back. But not for the family. It's for what I represent. The daughter who never strayed. The heir to the Yashida empire." Logan: "They'll use you to get to me. Just like they always do." She stands, determined, her posture that of someone who’s spent their life torn between tradition and freedom. Mariko: "And if that’s the price to protect you?" Silence. Outside, the wind grows stronger. The camera pulls away from the cabin slowly. At the end of the trail, almost invisible among the trees, a giant figure appears for a moment: Sabretooth. His face half-covered by mist, but the sadistic smile is there. He whispers to himself: Creed: "Smells like old blood. Smells like home." Fade-out. As the screen darkens, the sound of the wind is replaced by a soft guitar strum, heralding the song "Way Down We Go" (Kaleo), which will play later. Only the whisper of the chorus echoes: "Way down we go..." ACT 2: BLOOD AND IRON Still inside the cabin, the dawn light filters through the window, but there’s no peace. The silence is broken by a metallic, sharp, distant whistle. Logan suddenly raises his head, sniffing the air like an animal. His eyes narrow. Logan: "She’s here." Before Mariko can ask what he means, the wooden wall behind them explodes into splinters—a blade slices through with supernatural force. Logan instinctively pushes Mariko, saving her by mere inches. Lady Deathstrike enters like a cutting shadow. Her step is feline, precise, and she swings her claws at Logan, who defends with his forearms. The sound of adamantium against adamantium rings like furious metal bells. Deathstrike: "You should have died in the X Project. Now... you come back with me. Or in pieces." The fight is visceral. Logan attacks with primal fury, but Deathstrike is more agile. She throws him into the fireplace, causing flames to rise. Mariko tries to escape through the side door, but is blocked by debris from the fight. Logan notices and throws a chair at the window, clearing a path. Logan (shouting): "Run, Mariko!" She hesitates, but runs through the snow. Deathstrike attempts to follow, but Logan grabs her ankle and pulls her back, throwing them both out of the cabin—they tumble down the hill, rolling among rocks, ice, and logs. THE FIGHT CONTINUES IN THE SNOW. Quick cuts show Logan’s face growing more savage, his yellow eyes almost animalistic. He bleeds heavily. But his strikes begin to grow more brutal. He rips into Deathstrike’s shoulder, causing her to scream in fury and retreat. Deathstrike: "You’ve gotten slow, Logan. Or... did you hesitate for me?" He doesn’t answer. But his eyes say it all: he knows her. She was one of those who was with him in the past. In the facility. The woman who screamed behind the glass. Now unrecognizable. Before a new attack, a blast erupts between them—energy arrows slam into the ground, interrupting the fight. From the top of the hill, the Silver Samurai appears, wounded but imposing. Samurai: "Lady Oyama, return to Essex. Logan is not your target. Not yet." Deathstrike snarls: Deathstrike: "You lost your honor when you let him escape. I won’t make the same mistake." The Samurai activates his tactile blade, which glows with energy, and strikes Deathstrike with surgical precision, forcing her to retreat. The fight between the two is elegantly lethal. Sword against claws. Tradition against modernity. Logan, exhausted, watches the battle, holding his bloodied abdomen. He moves away, dragging himself through the snow, following Mariko’s footprints. At this moment, the sound becomes muffled. Everything goes in slow motion. The song “Way Down We Go” (Kaleo) begins to play softly as Logan stumbles through the forest. The camera zooms in on his face, stained with blood, his eyes cloudy. "Oh Father, tell me / do we get what we deserve?" Parallel cuts: Mariko, hiding behind a tree, crying silently. She holds the necklace Logan gave her. Deathstrike, fallen, breathing heavily, looking at the sky. The Silver Samurai watching Logan walk away, with a sorrow that only old warriors know. "Cause we go... oh way down we go..." Abrupt cut to another location. A cold, damp laboratory. A tank filled with greenish liquid begins to bubble. Hands tremble behind the glass. Stryker appears, speaking to someone in the shadows. Stryker: "Lady Oyama failed. The Samurai betrayed us. But our plan B... is almost ready." From the darkness, a hologram lights up—Essex, finally visible: red eyes, impeccable suit, face calm as death. Essex: "Bring Logan. And release the experiment. I want to see what the true adamantium demon is capable of." The monster inside the tank stirs. A silhouette that seems familiar. Maybe... a reflection of Logan. But bigger. More deformed. More cruel. The music plays its final verse: "Way down we go... oh, you let your feet run wild..." ACT 3: THE ECHO OF THE MONSTER We are in an ancient temple in the mountains, hidden by mist. Snow covers the rooftops. Mariko, dressed in traditional mourning clothes with a sword strapped to her back, is kneeling before a familiar altar. She whispers prayers for her family... and for Logan. Mariko (quietly): "What do you do when love becomes a danger to everyone around you?" The sound of slow, heavy footsteps echoes behind her. Logan enters, staggering. Improvised bandages cover him, dirt and dried blood on his face. He stops upon seeing her, as if unsure whether he still has the right to speak to her. But she rises and walks toward him, determined. Mariko: "They won't stop. They're after you like a curse." Logan: "Maybe I am the curse." Silence between them. Then she asks what he never expected to hear: Mariko: "Do you want to fight alone... or will we go to the end together?" Logan looks at her, surprised. She walks up to him and places her hand over his chest, exactly where his heart beats faintly. Mariko: "This time... don't run." CUT TO: A military helicopter descends between the mountains. Several figures exit: soldiers armed with tactical armor. Stryker walks alongside a new character: Victor Creed, now imposing, rejuvenated, with feline features and a claw-shaped scar over his left eye. Stryker: "Remember what was promised, Creed." Creed (snarling): "I just want to test if he's still worthy of the Wolverine name." Victor sniffs the air. His face twists in pleasure. Creed: "He's close. And... bleeding." CUT TO THE TEMPLE Logan and Mariko arm themselves. He finds an ancient katana among the temple's offerings. He picks it up respectfully. Logan: "I was never good with swords. But I like the sound." Mariko smiles, just for a moment. He studies her. Logan: "Are you sure about this?" Mariko: "I am. And if I die... I want to die protecting something worth it." Before they can say more, the sound of explosions interrupts the moment. The temple trembles. The soldiers invade. Logan and Mariko fight side by side — she with her katana, he with his claws and brutality. It's a ballet of blood, metal, and snow. But they're at a disadvantage. Until the ground trembles again. A bestial roar is heard... something inhuman. The temple roof explodes. Down comes the tank monster: a deformed Logan, with double claws, blind eyes, grey skin, and black veins pulsating. An abomination. Stryker (over radio): "Project X-24. Activate full hunt. Eliminate the original." The clone screams — a sound that seems like a roar mixed with pain and rage. Logan freezes for a moment. What stands before him... is himself. But without a soul. Logan (quietly): "They made me... again." X-24 charges with fury. Logan leaps, and the two collide with a force that cracks the stones of the ground. The fight is monstrous. It's like watching a broken mirror trying to kill its reflection. During the fight: Logan tries to rationalize. He sees pain in the clone. X-24 doesn’t speak, only growls, but hesitates briefly when Logan calls him “brother.” Mariko tries to help, but X-24 throws her against a wall. At this moment, Victor Creed emerges from the shadows. He watches the two fight and smiles. Creed: “I never thought I’d see the day when you’d be the weaker one.” He jumps into the middle of the fight, hitting Logan in the back. Now it's a three-way massacre: Logan vs Clone vs Creed. Mariko bleeds in the corner of the temple, trying to crawl toward the sword. A whisper escapes her mouth: Mariko: “Logan...” CUT TO THE ESSEX CORP BUILDING. Stryker enters, devastated, covered in snow and soot. He arrives at Essex's room, where Essex watches everything on monitors. Essex turns calmly. Essex: "Chaos is good. It shows who is ready for the next step in evolution." Stryker: "And if he survives?" Essex (smiling): "Then... hell will need another king." FINAL SCENE OF THE ACT Back at the temple: flames now engulf the surroundings. The fight is on its last legs. Logan is being strangled by the clone, claws lodged in his chest. But when he hears Mariko groan, something inside him explodes. With a primal scream, he spins and drives his claws into the clone's neck. But X-24 doesn’t die easily. He still fights. Their blood mixes on the ground. Creed watches, wounded, but flees smiling, as if he just wanted to watch. Logan falls to his knees, the clone slows down, and for a moment... they look at each other. Logan extends his hand — a gesture of mercy, of empathy. X-24 doesn’t understand... but repeats the gesture. Then dies, still with his hand outstretched. Blood, snow, silence. Mariko crawls to Logan and holds him. He passes out in her arms. Fade out. ACT 4: WAY DOWN WE GO At the top of the mountains, the temple is now just ruins. Snow begins to fall again, slowly covering the bodies, erasing the traces of the battle. Logan lies on an improvised bed inside a small abandoned tea house near the temple. His chest is bandaged, breathing heavy, but he's alive. Mariko, with her back to him, finishes cleaning the blood from her sword in silence. The song "Way Down We Go" starts faintly, almost as if the environment itself is breathing the song. ♪ "Father, tell me — we get what we deserve..." ♪ A silent, emotional montage: – Mariko walks outside, sitting in the snow, her eyes lost in the mountains. – Logan wakes up, sees her silhouette, and tries to stand, staggering. – Victor Creed watches from afar, atop a cliff, wearing a battle-worn leather coat. He licks his own blood off his fingers and smiles. – X-24 is being carried by masked soldiers from Essex Corp. in silence, wrapped in a kind of metallic blanket, as if he were more valuable dead than alive. – Inside Essex Corp., Essex places a drop of the clone's blood into a tube with DNA. The substance begins to writhe with reddish energy... Essex (whispering): "The old world is dying. We will build a new one, from their blood." SCENE WITH MARIKO AND LOGAN Logan reaches Mariko, limping. He sits beside her. Logan: “You should hate me.” Mariko: “Hating would be easy. The hard part is understanding why, even with fear... I want to stay.” Logan lowers his head. The wind blows strongly. He looks at his hands, still stained with blood, and clenches his fists. Logan: “They always turn me into a weapon. Always. I run, but I end up being pulled back.” Mariko: “Maybe it's time to stop running.” Silence. Only the sound of the song. ♪ "'Cause they will run you down, down 'til the dark..." ♪ Logan lifts his eyes. For the first time, not with anger, but with purpose. He looks at the horizon and whispers: Logan: “Then let’s go after them.” MARIKO looks at him. A small tear falls, but she smiles. She rises with him. Mariko: “Together.” FINAL SCENE: A deserted road, covered in mist. An old car (the one Logan used in the more recent films) drives towards the dawn. Inside, Logan at the wheel, Mariko beside him. In the back seat, a suitcase with stolen Essex documents, and her katana leaning against the corner. As the car moves away... ♪ "Way down we go... Way down we go..." ♪ Fade out. CUT TO: – A futuristic lab. – A body with a cocoon growing on its chest. – A name on the screen: "X-Gene Experimental: Project Omega" POST-CREDIT SCENE – "The Serpent Awakens" INT. UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASE – RUSSIA – NIGHT Snow blows through a broken opening in the outer structure of the base. A black helicopter with the Weapon X symbol lands in the icy snow. Two men descend. One of them holds a briefcase with the "O.X." symbol in red. INT. CONTAINMENT CORRIDOR – MOMENTS LATER The automatic doors open with a heavy hiss. The air inside is dense, humid, and cold as a forgotten tomb. Fluorescent lights flicker intermittently, revealing corridors of dirty, dripping steel. Silent alarms glow red along the wall. A camera tracks their movement. Two scientists, covered in reinforced lab coats, walk with tense steps. SCIENTIST 1 (Russian, thick accent, impassive): "He’s been in hibernation for over twenty years... Leave him as he is." SCIENTIST 2 (American, determined): "Direct orders from Stryker. He wants all resources ready. Logan is on the run. We... we’re losing control." They stop in front of a reinforced door, marked with an aged plaque: ⚠️ SUBJECT 013 – ARKADY GREGORIVICH CLASSIFICATION: OMEGA RED OMEGA LEVEL CONTAINMENT The American scientist opens the briefcase. Inside, a silver chip with a pulsating light. SCIENTIST 2: "If he really hates Logan as much as they say... we won’t even need to give orders." SCIENTIST 1 (whispering to himself): "Soviet curse..." He inserts the chip into the terminal. A low alarm begins to sound. The door opens, revealing the cryogenic chamber: A massive body, wrapped in tubes and metal chains, remains frozen in the mist. The skin is a sickly bluish-gray. The biomechanical chains move slowly on their own, like snakes dreaming. The chamber’s display changes from: [STATUS: DORMANT] [OVERRIDE ACCEPTED] [AWAKENING PROTOCOL ENGAGED] CLOSE-UP: The monster's face. Its eyes still closed. Scars across the body. The faded Soviet emblem still tattooed on the shoulder. A silver tooth visible. Suddenly, one of the eyes slowly opens. Red. Glowing. Filled with hatred. The chains begin to stir. CONTAINMENT SYSTEM: "SUBJECT ACTIVATED. OBJECTIVE: LOGAN." The lights explode one by one, until the screen goes completely black. SOUND OF MECHANICAL, METALLIC BREATHING. LOW, DISTORTED VOICE (OMEGA RED): "... LOGAN..." CUT TO BLACK. SILENCE.

  • otsutsuki EPISODE 2 - Creating a Monster: The episode begins with Logan, still in shock and weakened after the tranquilizer dart, waking up in a new setting. The biting cold of the night is replaced by a darker, colder environment: an underground military facility, far from the fisherman's cabin. He is inside a transport convoy, immobilized on a bench, with heavily armed soldiers guarding the area. The hum of engines and the constant clanging of metal against the ground indicate they are moving at a considerable speed, but Logan has no idea where he is being taken. Flashback: The Past of Team X As the convoy moves forward, the camera focuses on Logan's eyes, which begin to close as his mind travels back to the past. The sound of boots hitting the ground echoes through the secret base, where Team X is once again gathered. Stryker stands before them, his expression impassive. He reveals the true intention behind the missions. Stryker (looking at the group, with a calm and calculating voice): "Team X was just the first step. What you are... you’re not soldiers. You’re experiments. The real goal was never to complete missions. It was always about testing your abilities for something bigger. Something no one can even imagine. I was preparing you for the Weapon X Project." The revelation shocks the group, but the tension in the room is palpable. Logan looks at Victor Creed, but he doesn't seem surprised — he already knew. Victor Creed (smiling cynically): "We always knew we were more than just mercenaries, Logan. Nothing comes without a price. The price is becoming something different." Victor (looking Logan in the eye): "I became what you’ve always feared becoming. And you know what? I like it." The scene quickly cuts to Stryker's laboratory, where Logan is being prepared for what’s to come. Stryker (to a scientist by his side): "Prepare him for the procedure. Adamantium is the key to our superiority. He will be our ultimate weapon. His resistance will be the final test." The Transformation: The Adamantium Process The laboratory is a cold place, illuminated by harsh, surgical lights. Logan, strapped to a steel table, begins to struggle against the chains. His body, though still regenerating, is in an extreme state of exhaustion. But he can't escape. The scientists begin applying the adamantium tubes to his bones, infusing the metal directly into his body. The process is painful, more than anything Logan has ever experienced. His body screams in agony, but he cannot move. He can only scream in silence, feeling his body being turned into a weapon. Flashforward: The Convoy and the Capture Back in the present, Logan begins to regain consciousness, still immobilized, but now inside the convoy. He feels the effects of the tranquilizer starting to wear off, and the soldiers around him are alert, seemingly waiting for him to wake up. The leader of the group is none other than Agent Zero, the former Team X colleague, now tasked with capturing him. Agent Zero (looking directly at Logan, with a cold smile): "You’re no longer in control, Logan. Everything you did, everything you were... is now in our hands." Logan, still confused and weakened, tries to react. His senses begin to adjust, and he starts to realize that he is surrounded by soldiers with the Essex Corp insignia. The symbol seems familiar, but he can’t understand what it means. His focus is on Agent Zero, who is clearly waiting for something from Logan. Logan (hoarsely): "What... what is this? What do you want from me?" Agent Zero (disdainfully): "Mr. Essex wants you alive. You’re the key to the future. Now, it’s pointless to fight." The scene cuts to Logan’s point of view, beginning to recover, and for a moment, he sees the Essex Corp symbol. A quick flashback occurs, images of his own past distorted, mixed with memories of what happened to him, but his mind is foggy. The Escape and Stryker’s Betrayal As Logan begins to process everything, the convoy stops abruptly. He feels a surge of adrenaline rush through his body. He knows he needs to escape, but he also knows that Stryker has always been two steps ahead. The moment Logan tries to move to fight, he realizes something crucial: Victor Creed is among the soldiers. But now, he is no longer Logan's friend. He is a shadow of their old trust, his loyalty completely broken. Victor Creed (looking at Logan with disdain, as if distancing himself): "You’re just another tool now, Logan. There’s no more you, just a weapon. What happened to Team X... is what you’ve become." The convoy opens, and a team of armed agents rushes in. Stryker, with a cold smile, appears at the entrance. Stryker (with pleasure in his voice): "I warned you, Logan. What you are, what you’ve become, is now part of something much bigger. The Weapon X Project has no turning back." The Capture and the Final Procedure Logan, confused and weakened, tries to react, but the soldiers quickly immobilize him. He sees his life flash before his eyes — fragmented memories, betrayals, pains, and losses. He struggles against the chains, but he is physically exhausted. Before being taken to the next stage of the process, Logan hears a final phrase from Stryker: Stryker (with a cruel tone): "Welcome to your new reality, Logan. You’ll no longer be a man... You’ll be a weapon." Flashforward: The Search for Identity Logan wakes up, now in an ice cave. The weather is freezing, and he finds himself out of control again, but not for long. He looks around, his body now covered in metal, and his mind, completely disoriented, begins to question everything. He no longer knows who he is, what he is, or what he has become. The episode ends with Logan trying to get up, his survival instincts guiding him out of the cave. He doesn’t know where he’s going, but one thing is certain: his search for identity has begun, and he won’t stop until he discovers the truth. Post-Credit Scene The camera moves down a dark, metallic corridor, lit only by flickering lights. The sound of footsteps echoes, but no one is in sight. The door to a laboratory opens slowly, revealing a steel table and a series of tubes connected to machines, filling the air with a constant buzzing sound. Nathaniel Essex enters the laboratory, his expression serious and calculating. He stops in front of a table where a figure lies — not Logan, but a new project. In a glass capsule, a man is submerged in a glowing green liquid. His body is covered in wounds and scars, his eyes closed. Nathaniel Essex (with a sadistic smile, looking at the capsule): "The key to the future isn’t just metal... It’s something more. And you will be the answer." He moves his hand, and the capsule lights up with an intense glow. The man inside begins to stir slowly, his eyes opening, revealing uncontrollable fury. The camera zooms in on the man’s face inside the capsule, showing an expression of pain and rage. A name forms in glowing letters next to the capsule: "Weapon XI." Nathaniel Essex (smiling even more): "The game is about to change, and Logan doesn’t know what’s coming."

  • otsutsuki EPISODE 3 - Hounds of War: Bloody Escape Night falls over the dense Canadian forest. The military convoy is in flames, the bodies of the soldiers scattered across the ice. Logan, wounded, breathes heavily. His eyes scan the environment for threats. The few remaining soldiers hesitate, afraid to move forward. Agent Zero, covered in blood with a deep cut across his face, crawls to grab his pistol. Logan glares at him with a flash of fury in his eyes. Agent Zero: (smiling, spitting blood) "Stryker will never give up on you. There will always be more hunters." Logan charges forward and drives his claws into Zero's chest. The agent lets out a muffled scream before collapsing dead. Logan, panting, steps back and surveys the damage he's caused. He hears the distant sound of helicopters. More men are coming. With no choice, Logan disappears into the forest, vanishing into the darkness. The Rise of Sabretooth Inside the underground facilities of Essex Corp, Victor Creed is strapped to a metal table, surrounded by tubes and needles injecting strange substances into his body. Nathaniel Essex watches from a platform above, taking notes. Essex: "You always had potential, Creed. But you were nothing more than a wild animal. Now, you're becoming something more. Something grand." Victor writhes in pain. His body convulses violently. His teeth become sharper, his claws lengthen. His eyes glow with a new intensity. When the spasms cease, he stands up, breaking the restraints that hold him. Victor Creed: (smiling, growling) "I feel better than ever." Essex smiles. His experiment was a success. The Hunt Continues Logan continues his escape through the forest, but the sound of boots crunching on snow grows closer. Armed soldiers are searching the area with thermal lanterns. He knows he can't hide forever. The first patrol approaches. Logan leaps from a branch, landing on one of the soldiers. His claws tear through the armor like paper. Another tries to shoot, but Logan spins around and drives his claws into his throat. The screams alert the others. Gunshots explode in the night, but Logan is already in motion. He charges like a storm of claws and fury, taking them down one by one. In the end, only one soldier remains alive, trembling, holding his gun with shaking hands. Soldier: (whispering) "Please..." Logan looks at him for a moment, then turns his back and disappears into the darkness. He's already killed enough for one night. The Revelation Logan arrives at a stream and washes the blood from his hands. His reflection is distorted by the moving water. He doesn't know who he really is, but he knows someone wants him back — and he doesn't intend to make it easy. From high up in a tree, a figure watches him. A Japanese woman, dressed in black, hides in the shadows. Her eyes track every movement of Logan with calculated attention. Japanese Woman: (softly) "Finally, I've found you." The screen fades to black. Post-Credit Scene Inside Essex's laboratory, a new containment tank is lit by an intense blue light. Inside, a being with red eyes floats, connected to machines. Nathaniel Essex watches with interest, taking notes. Essex: "Soon, there will be no more savagery. Only order. And Logan will be just the first of many." The being inside the tank abruptly opens its eyes. The screen cuts to black.

  • otsutsuki EPISODE 4 - Ghosts of the Past: Arrival in Japan EXT. CARGO SHIP – NIGHT Sound: The sound of rain relentlessly hitting the metal of the ship, the strong wind whistling through the ropes, and the waves crashing against the hull. The storm's noise nearly drowns out everything else. CAMERA: The camera focuses on Logan, leaning against one of the containers, a smoldering cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He is lost in his thoughts, dirty, with stubble, wearing a worn-out jacket. In one hand, he holds a half-empty bottle of sake, his expression tired and distant. LOGAN (whispering to himself, with a hoarse, tired voice): — Where are the answers? LOGAN pulls a yellowed piece of paper from his pocket, his hands trembling slightly. He unfolds it reverently, as if it were a treasure. The name "Mariko Yashida" is partially faded but still legible. LOGAN (thinking): The words "Mariko Yashida" echo in his mind like a painful memory. Brief flashbacks begin to invade his mind — a woman smiling under the shade of a cherry tree, a kiss beneath the full moon, laughter he can barely remember, but that still feels like a part of him. The camera focuses on his face, raindrops sliding down his jacket, his eyes fixed on the horizon where the silhouette of Tokyo begins to take shape. The sound of the rain and waves blend with the memory of the woman he can barely recall. The Encounter INT. TEMPLE – NIGHT Sound: The gentle sound of the breeze passing through the temple trees and the rustling of paper lanterns softly illuminating the sacred interior. CAMERA: Logan ascends the temple steps with heavy steps, each movement calculated. The camera captures his visible tension. His hands are near the claws' handles, ready for anything. As he enters, the light from the lanterns adjusts to his vision, the temple's darkness contrasting with the dancing shadows. Inside the temple, MARIKO YASHIDA is kneeling before a low table, serving tea to an elderly woman with great delicacy. The atmosphere is calm, even ethereal. When MARIKO looks up and sees LOGAN, she freezes. Her eyes lock onto him in surprise, but there’s something more — fear, recognition, and unhealed pain. The air between them feels heavy with a weight neither dares to touch. MARIKO (timidly, with a trembling voice): — I know you. It can’t be… LOGAN (confused, approaching cautiously): — What do you mean? I… I don’t remember you. Mariko begins to open her mouth to explain, but before any words can escape, the sliding door of the temple suddenly opens. A military force infiltrates — GUARDS in traditional armor appear, surrounding Logan with their katanas. The SILVER SAMURAI enters through the door, imposing and full of disdain, his katana gleaming in the lantern light. SILVER SAMURAI (staring at Logan, with a cold tone): — Your name brings disgrace to this house. You should not be here. The tension in the air is palpable. Logan watches the Silver Samurai closely, the sound of metal sliding in his hands, his muscles tense like a beast ready to strike. Flashback – Love and War SOUND: The distant sound of a battle slowly begins to infiltrate, as if it were coming from a far-off dream. CAMERA: Logan closes his eyes for a moment, and flashbacks take over his mind. He sees himself in the past, under a cherry tree, beside MARIKO, their faces illuminated by the soft light of the full moon. The image is pure and serene, a vivid memory of happier times. FLASHBACK: LOGAN and MARIKO exchange passionate glances, their hands gently touching. He pulls her closer, and in a moment that feels eternal, they kiss. The sound of battle begins to invade, steadily growing louder, like a specter that cannot be avoided. Masked men, dressed in black, attack furiously. Logan, in a frenzy, fights with all his might, using his adamantium claws to carve a path through the enemies, trying to protect Mariko, who runs to hide. He loses sight of her in the chaos of the battle. SOUND: The sound of blades slicing through the air, Logan’s shout as he defends Mariko, and the echo of violence fill the scene. CAMERA: The fight intensifies as Logan desperately tries to survive. The battle seems endless, but at the same time, time seems to slow down, as if he is reliving this relentless pain. Back to the present: CAMERA: Logan opens his eyes, his breath quickening. He seems surprised by the intensity of the memories. His face is now marked by pain, the scars of the past still fresh in his mind. The Conflict SOUND: The opening beat of "Stay With Me" by Miki Matsubara begins to play, creating a subtle tension as the fight prepares to begin. CAMERA: The SILVER SAMURAI assumes a fighting stance, his katana gleaming in the lantern light. He looks at Logan with contempt, as if he were a despicable and irreconcilable enemy. SILVER SAMURAI (smiling with disdain, in a low voice): — I’ve seen what you’re capable of, Gaijin. You are a beast in human form. But here, you are not welcome. CAMERA: Logan clenches his fists, and the adamantium claws extend with a sharp, distinctive snikt. His posture becomes a threat. He charges forward, fury pouring from his expression. LOGAN (claws extended, with a firm voice): — Then you’d better not provoke me. The two clash in a brutal fight. The Silver Samurai attacks with precision and mastery, his katana slicing through the air with impressive speed. Logan, wilder, responds with brute force, his claws meeting the katana's metal in a clash of titans. SOUND: The music of "Stay With Me" speeds up, merging with the sound of the blows, as the battle intensifies and the tension grows. The fight destroys the temple around them. The blows grow more forceful, and the temple begins to collapse, chunks of wood and stone falling. The combat becomes a dance of destruction. Final Scene: Secrets Revealed SOUND: The beat of "Stay With Me" slows down gently, creating an emotional contrast with the rising tension. SOUND: Mariko’s anguished scream interrupts the battle. MARIKO (shouting, with a voice full of emotion): — Stop! Please, stop! You were once allies! CAMERA: Both stop abruptly, panting, Logan’s claws still extended, but his gaze fixed on Mariko, confused, unable to understand. LOGAN (with a hoarse voice, the pain visible on his face): — Who am I to you, Mariko? What is happening here? CAMERA: Mariko hesitates, her eyes full of tears and fear. She steps forward, her hands trembling. CAMERA: The SILVER SAMURAI steps back, still holding his katana, watching the two with a mix of distrust and understanding. He knows that something bigger is about to be revealed, something that could change everything. CAMERA: Logan stares at Mariko, still confused, but sensing that the truth is near. He realizes that what he has always sought is closer than he ever imagined. CAMERA: The screen slowly fades to black, while the tension in the air persists, and the secret remains in limbo, unanswered.

  • otsutsuki EPISODE 6 - The Man Called Wolverine: ACT 1: SCARS AND SAMURAI EXT. SHIRAKAWA-GŌ MOUNTAINS – WINTER – DAWN The episode opens with a wide shot of snow falling over a traditional Japanese village nestled between mountains. A dense mist blankets the thatched roofs. The sound of wind chimes and distant crows creates an atmosphere of peace and melancholy. An old trail winds through the pines — along it, Mariko walks hurriedly with Logan’s injured body on the shoulders of two hooded men cloaked in warrior monk robes. They approach an isolated temple, covered in moss and adorned with prayer flags. At the top of the staircase, waiting with a katana resting on his shoulder, stands Master Katsuro — elderly, upright posture, intense eyes full of history. His face carries old scars. Katsuro (in Japanese, subtitled): “You always return in pieces, Mariko-san. And he... always on the brink of death.” Mariko bows her head in silent reverence. INT. HEALING ROOM – TEMPLE – LATER Logan lies on tatami mats, shirtless, covered in deep wounds that barely regenerate. Steam rises from a basin filled with herbs and blood. The monks tend to him with ointments and bandages. Master Katsuro enters. He observes Logan in silence. Logan murmurs, unconscious, twitching. Disjointed words escape: “…Arkady… Berlin... blood... it wasn’t me…” Katsuro kneels beside him. Katsuro (calm voice): “You still carry demons. Perhaps they are not yours.” CUT TO A QUICK FLASHBACK — worn and distorted image: LOGAN (40s or 50s), covered in blood, facing soldiers with Soviet Union insignia. He is in fury, but also in panic. A laboratory in the background. A pale figure advances on him — OMEGA RED in his early, primitive form, with tentacles emerging from a tank. Back to the present, Logan wakes with a roar and lunges at one of the monks with his claws partially extended. Mariko rushes in and holds him back. Mariko: “It’s alright, Logan. You’re safe... for now.” He pulls back, looking around confused. He sees Katsuro clearly for the first time. Logan (struggling): “…I’ve seen you before... In a war. You had a katana and saved my life.” Katsuro gives a slight smile. Katsuro: “And you saved mine. After that, we were brothers for a time. Until the world forgot us.” INT. MEDITATION GARDEN – TEMPLE – DUSK Logan, still weak, follows Katsuro through the garden. They walk among stone lanterns and withered cherry trees. Katsuro offers a chance to clear the mind, through meditation and samurai focus. Katsuro: “Before you find out who created you... You need to remember who you were.” Logan hesitates. Logan: “Do I remember? All I remember is blood.” Katsuro: “No. You remember the pain. But beneath it… there’s something else.” Katsuro places a Nō mask over Logan’s face, traditionally used in plays. Logan sits before a still water mirror and closes his eyes. SENSORY FLASHBACK – INSIDE LOGAN'S MIND Shards of memory: – A snow-covered battlefield. – A Russian woman shouting. – A broken tank. – A young Logan with a scruffy beard, looking at his bloodstained hands. – A grotesque, metallic laugh. – “ARKADY!” someone shouts. – A scream from Logan: “I DIDN’T WANT TO!” Suddenly, in the reflection of the water, Omega Red’s face appears behind Logan like a ghost, trying to strangle him with his tentacles. Logan flinches and breaks his concentration. INT. TEMPLE – NIGHT Mariko watches Logan from outside the room, worried. Katsuro approaches. Katsuro: “He is a divided man. Half beast, half scar. But what moves him… it’s not what he’s lost. It’s what can still protect us.” Mariko lowers her head. The weight of the moment is real. END OF ACT 1 – QUICK MONTAGE: – Logan training slowly, with a wooden sword, guided by Katsuro. – Disjointed memories emerging as he fights: the face of Omega Red, experiments, bloody claws. – Mariko gazing at a scar on Logan’s back, touching it gently. – Katsuro observing the sky, silent, as if he knows the storm is about to arrive. CUT TO BLACK. Metallic sounds echo like chains sliding on steel. Something is coming. ACT 2: THE MACHINE OF THE PAST EXT. UNDERGROUND COMPLEX – UNKNOWN LOCATION – NIGHT The scene opens with red lights flashing in an underground lab. Security cameras track the movements of armed technicians holding tablets and syringes. Everything feels... cold, clinical, brutal. Stryker and Mr. Essex watch a giant tank filled with thick, amber liquid. Inside, submerged with tubes sticking into his chest and arms, is a pale, giant man with white hair, covered in cybernetic tattoos: ARKADY ROSSOVICH, also known as OMEGA RED. Stryker (with disdain): “He was unstable. Uncontrollable.” Essex (cold): “Now, he’s hungry. And you’ll feed him with vengeance.” With the press of a button, the lights turn red. The liquid begins to drain. A muffled roar echoes inside the tank. The cables come loose, and Omega Red’s arms rise — the carbonadium tentacles slither out like hungry serpents. Essex (staring at the glass): “He remembers Logan. And he wants to cut him.” INT. TEMPLE – ARMORY ROOM – SAME NIGHT Meanwhile, Logan runs his fingers over a shelf of katanas and ancient samurai armor. He seems more centered now, calmer — but something troubles him. Mariko appears. There’s a silent tension between them. Mariko: “Do you remember anything?” Logan (hesitant): “Fragments. A prison camp... missions for the government... And him. Omega Red. He was a Soviet weapon. And I... I was the American weapon.” Mariko steps closer, touching his shoulder. Logan looks at her. Logan (quietly): “I did things. Things that scare me more than any villain.” Mariko: “But you saved me too. That’s part of you.” Before Logan can respond, the sound of distant bells is interrupted by a deep, metallic noise — something scraping the ground... like living chains. EXT. TEMPLE – OUTDOOR COURTYARD – NIGHT The mist intensifies. Monks appear with spears, surrounding the entrance. And then… he emerges: OMEGA RED, wearing reinforced armor, skin pale as ice, red eyes, and the tentacles slowly swirling around his body like snakes ready to strike. Omega Red (guttural voice, with a Russian accent): “Wolverine… war brother. I finally found you.” Katsuro steps forward, trying to keep the peace. Katsuro: “You are not welcome here. Go back to the hell you came from.” Omega Red smiles. His chains lash out in a brutal movement, piercing through Katsuro’s chest, throwing him against a stone wall. Logan enters the scene, running, claws extended. He sees Katsuro fallen, bleeding. Logan (angry): “Arkady… bastard!” Omega Red raises his arms. The tentacles spin at high speed. Omega Red: “You left me to die. Now... let’s see if your regeneration can handle what I’ve become.” BEGINNING OF THE CONFRONTATION The fight erupts violently between Logan and Omega Red in the temple — the chains are deadly whips, destroying pillars, walls, and throwing monks aside. Logan tries to get close, but the tentacles grab him by the neck and slam him against the stone floor. Mariko tries to shoot with a bow, but Omega Red defends with his body. She retreats, pulling Katsuro with the help of two monks. Logan bleeds. A lot. His claws sink into Omega Red, but he seems to revel in the pain. He’s in ecstasy with the battle. FLASHBACK INTERLUDE — 1980s, COLD WAR Quickly, between blows, flashes of memory emerge: – Logan and Arkady infiltrating a laboratory together. – Missions in European soil. – Logan refusing orders to kill innocents. – Arkady accepting with pleasure. Arkady (in memory): “Pain is power. If you don’t feel guilty… you’re free.” The flash ends with Logan driving his claws into Arkady’s chest to stop him, shouting: “You killed civilians, Arkady!” BACK TO PRESENT Logan regains strength, dodges a tentacle, and slashes deeply into Omega Red’s shoulder, but it’s not enough. Omega Red releases a cloud of lethal pheromones, disorienting Logan. Mariko tries to save him, but she’s grabbed by the tentacles and pulled away. Logan, fallen, sees Mariko’s silhouette being taken by the shadows. Logan (almost passing out): “No… Mariko…” CUT TO BLACK. ACT 3: WOUNDED, NOT BROKEN INT. RUINED TEMPLE - DAWN The place is devastated. Dead monks. Statues split in half. Logan is kneeling, coughing up blood, among the debris and smoke from fallen incense. The camera slowly circles around him. His eyes are red, full of guilt. He touches the ground, still wet with Katsuro's blood, and struggles to rise. Logan (thinking): "I’ve always been a weapon. But with her... I wanted to be human." He struggles to walk toward Katsuro's sword lying on the ground. He picks it up, looks at the blade... and drives it into the wall. Logan: "No more running." EXT. DIRT ROAD - BEFORE DAWN Omega Red walks with an unconscious Mariko in his arms, surrounded by his tentacles. In the distance, a camouflaged military van waits for them. He throws Mariko into the containment compartment as if she were merchandise. One of the soldiers hesitates. Soldier: "She’s... civilian. Is this part of the mission?" Omega Red (approaching the soldier's face): "She’s the bait." The soldier swallows hard and closes the door with a metallic clang. INT. TEMPLE - INNER ROOM Logan is stitching his own wounds with silk thread left by the monks. It hurts. But he doesn’t scream. At this moment, he feels something—like a shattered memory from within. FLASHBACK - 1970S, SIBERIA Logan, dressed in black ops gear, stands before a metal cell. Inside, Omega Red is chained, part of a KGB project called "Operation Carbonadium." Soviet Scientist: "He’s unstable. But effective." Logan: "You want to control a monster. It’s not going to work." Arkady (from inside the cell, smiling): "And you? Aren’t you a monster too?" The flash ends with Logan receiving orders to kill Arkady—orders he refuses. He simply unsheathes his claws and knocks him out. That’s what fuels Omega Red's hatred. BACK TO PRESENT Logan takes a deep breath. He puts on a simple kimono and walks to a wall hidden behind torn tapestries. There, in a wooden box marked with Mariko's family crest, he finds an artifact covered by a black cloth. He reveals an ancient armor. Black. Rusted. But familiar. It’s the armor Logan wore decades ago, when he fought alongside the original Silver Samurai. EXT. FOREST - COLD MORNING The camouflaged van drives along a deserted road between mountains, under a low mist. One of the soldiers checks on Mariko, still unconscious. Suddenly, the van screeches to a halt. One of the tires bursts. Driver: "Something’s wrong..." They step out. Everything seems calm. Then, one of the soldiers is pulled into the mist. A scream. Silence. The other soldier raises his weapon but is knocked down by something coming from above. The camera follows a dark, feline, quick figure... until the mist clears and reveals: LOGAN, wearing the ancient armor, partially covered in blood. His eyes glowing with fury. His claws extended. Logan (looking at the van): "No one touches her." Omega Red steps out of the van, smiling. Omega Red: "You should be dead." Logan: "I’ve been. Many times. But I always come back. And today, you’ll be the last monster from my past." THE FINAL FIGHT - LOGAN VS OMEGA RED It’s brutal. Intense. Hand-to-hand. Tentacles vs claws. The ground is torn. Trees are felled. Omega Red uses the terrain to crush Logan, but Logan is smart: he uses the chains against the villain, traps one of the tentacles in a root, and pulls Omega Red down a ravine. They roll down the hill until they hit a frozen lake. There, the fight continues. Omega Red throws Logan against the ice, which cracks, and both fall into the freezing water. Underwater, in slow motion, we see them fighting in silence. Logan bleeds. The chains wrap around his leg. But he breaks free with a desperate strike, plunging both claws into Omega Red's chest, pushing him down to the bottom. Omega Red tries to pull him with his tentacles, but Logan swims to the surface, gasping, exhausted, almost dead. EXT. FOREST - SEVERAL HOURS LATER Logan carries Mariko in his arms. Snow begins to fall. He walks toward the rising sun, his samurai armor destroyed and blood dripping from his jaw. In the distance, Essex helicopters fly overhead. The war isn’t over. FINAL SCENE - STRYKER'S BASE Stryker and Essex watch a monitor showing Logan escaping with Mariko. Stryker: "He’s remembering everything… he won’t stop." Essex: "Exactly. The Wolverine is waking up." CUT TO BLACK.

  • otsutsuki Episode 7 - I'm No Longer a Weapon: ACT 1: BACK TO THE NORTH Setting: Yukon, Canada – a cold, silent, isolated forest. The camera opens with aerial shots of snowy forests, old trails between frozen trees. The wind blows strongly. Snow falls slowly. The atmosphere is harsh and melancholic, with bluish and grayish tones dominating the visuals. Logan walks alone, hooded, wounded, carrying his own injuries. His eyes are different. No more hesitation—only contained anger, a silent fury he tries to suppress. He has reached the cradle of his origins, the region where he was altered, hunted, transformed into a weapon. As he walks, visual flashes appear: A needle piercing the bone; Stryker’s voice shouting, “Increase the dosage!” A woman shouting his name (maybe Mariko—confusing for him); Victor laughing in a nearby cell. He stops. Leans against a tree. Removes his hood. Closes his eyes. Breathes deeply. 🎵 Soft music in the background: "Way Down We Go" (Kaleo), in instrumental version, subtle. The music is not central yet, but it sets the emotional and melancholic tone. The idea is that, gradually, the music will approach the chorus as Victor appears. 📍 INTERIOR – ABANDONED FACILITY (EX-WEAPON X) Logan finds a semi-buried shelter in the snow, filled with debris. He enters. It’s dark, cold, with corroded metal walls and old bloodstains. The lights flicker. He walks through narrow hallways, diving into memories: A cell with scratches on the walls (his); A broken adamantium tank; A faded hologram with the Weapon X program logo. He approaches an old containment bed and runs his hand over it. The lights flicker more intensely. Something approaches. 🐾 SOUND OF HEAVY FOOTSTEPS IN THE SNOW Cut outside: the snow stirs, leaves fly. A strong, agile figure moves between the trees. Cut inside: Logan slowly draws his claws—a subtle and threatening snap. Suddenly, the wall behind him explodes. Victor Creed emerges like a predator. No words, no warning, no respect for the reunion. It’s a brutal attack. The fight begins. 🐺 FIGHT: "BEAST AGAINST BEAST" It’s dirty. It’s primal. They slam into columns, knock over rusted cabinets. Victor uses his teeth, claws, and even bites into Logan’s shoulder, while Logan retaliates with deep cuts on Victor’s chest. Quick flash during the fight: Young Logan and Victor side by side in an ancient war—perhaps in trench coats during World War I or Vietnam. But it’s just a glimpse. Back to the fight, they fall from an upper floor of the base and roll through the snow into a forest clearing. The camera now slowly circles around them as the song "Way Down We Go" hits the chorus, not to glorify the fight but to show the emotional weight of it. Lyrics in the background: “So way down we go... way down we go...” Logan bleeds from his mouth. Victor licks his own blood, smiling: Victor (breathing heavily): “What happened, brother? Did the beast get tired of fighting?” Logan: “I’m tired of being controlled.” Victor attacks again. Logan resists. He doesn’t kill him. He just knocks him down with a brutal punch to the jaw and throws him against a tree. Victor either passes out or pretends to. Logan gasps, his hands trembling—not from the pain, but from the decision not to kill. He kneels in the snow. Silence. The music gently fades out. 🛰️ CUT TO: A LIVE SATELLITE IMAGE On a monitor, Essex’s face appears. He’s watching everything. Stryker’s voice is heard in the background: Stryker: “So... he really came back.” Essex (smiling coldly): “And every time he comes back, he loses a little more of his soul.” He presses a button. Thermal images of Logan and Victor appear. Real-time data collection is underway. Essex: “Prepare the next experiment.” ACT 2: The Hunter and the Beast Location: Canadian Territory (present) / Frozen Forest, Night After the intense fight with Victor Creed in Act 1, Logan continues his path, bloodied and tired. The sky is dark, lightly snowing, and he walks along an old road between the trees. His claws are retracted, but his eyes remain wild. He arrives at an old, abandoned cabin — the place where he used to hide between missions, decades ago. As he crosses the door, his body feels the weight of the past. The silence makes him stop. The place is practically intact, covered in dust. A torn old diary, a metal canteen, a partially burned SHIELD badge. Everything seems frozen in time. Logan sits down. He touches the badge. And then... FLASHBACK: A FEW YEARS AGO – SHIELD BASE, ANCHORAGE 12 Logan, younger, with short hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears a black SHIELD tactical uniform (without any heroic symbols, just military). He is in a room with General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who is staring at a monitor showing images of destruction caused by the Hulk in some Eastern European country. ROSS: “You're the best at what you do. I want the target alive. No matter the cost.” LOGAN: “What if he doesn’t want to come with me?” ROSS: (arms crossed) “Then rip his legs off.” Mission: Logan was hired as a covert agent, not officially registered, to capture the Hulk and bring him back to the US for study — something that even SHIELD didn’t want to be directly involved in. A “black operation,” far from Nick Fury’s eyes. LOCATION: CAUCASUS / REMOTE FOREST – NIGHT A snowstorm covers the mountains of the Caucasus region. The forest looks like a sea of frozen shadows. Ancient trees crack under the weight of accumulated snow. The wind whispers through the branches as if the forest were alive, breathing, silently watching. The full moon hangs low in the sky, casting a pale, silvery, and gloomy light on the world below. The ground is covered in dense snow, sinking under every step. The sound is muffled, except for occasional howls of distant wolves and the rustling of a creature running through the bushes. Banner is alone. He wears worn clothes, improvised to survive the cold. A battered backpack on his back, a torn map in his hands. He hasn’t eaten properly in days. He’s paranoid, panting, feeling his heart race at the slightest noise. The camera follows him from behind as he stumbles toward a hidden cave, dug into a hill covered in frozen moss. He enters, crouching. Inside, there are candles he’s improvised from animal fat and pieces of cloth. A dirty blanket. A nearly empty water bottle. He sits, exhausted. He looks at a heart rate monitor on his wrist. 78 bpm. He takes a deep breath. The camera focuses on his eyes — red from exhaustion but alert. BANNER (whispering to himself): “Just a few more days... just a few more days…” Then... CRACK. A branch snaps outside. Banner freezes. He holds his breath. Another sound. Footsteps. Slow. Determined. Outside the cave, we only see black boots pressing into the snow, steam rising from the breath. A shadow approaches the entrance. And then: SNIKT. The three adamantium claws slice through the silence, slowly extending from Logan’s hands. He stops at the edge of the cave. Smoke rises from his mouth. He’s calm, but every muscle is tense. His eyes glow with the reflection of the moon and the candlelight that Banner lit inside. LOGAN (softly but firmly): “Bruce Banner… it’s you.” Banner stands up slowly. Tension explodes in his eyes. The heart rate monitor spikes. 81. 85. 89. 93. BANNER: “I don’t want to fight. I just want to disappear.” LOGAN: “Orders are orders.” Silence. The wind picks up, making the snow swirl outside. Logan takes a step into the cave, his claws lit by the flickering flame. LOGAN (almost lamenting): “They didn’t say it had to be clean. Just alive. But if you don’t cooperate...” BANNER (whispering): “No... please...” 96. 98. 102. LOGAN: “Bruce…” BANNER SCREAMS. The transformation begins. The candlelight goes out with the scream. The screen darkens for a moment. BOOM. The cave ceiling explodes. Rocks fly. The Hulk’s body emerges from the shadows like a storm of green muscles and glowing eyes. The wind carries the snow inside. The Hulk roars with primal rage. Logan faces the creature. Both of them breathe heavily. Silence. LOGAN (last line before the fight): “I knew this mission would stink from the start…” He charges. CLAWS IN THE AIR. The fight begins. Logan leaps at the Hulk before he fully transforms. He drives his claws into the Hulk’s left shoulder. The Hulk roars, spins his body, and hurls Logan with superhuman strength into a tree, which splits in half with the impact. Logan flies over 20 meters, slamming into a snow-covered rock. He rises, growling, the wound already regenerating. LOGAN (wiping blood from his mouth): “Yeah... you’ve gotten bigger since the last time.” The Hulk pounds his chest and charges. Logan runs in the opposite direction, climbing a rock formation. 🟩 ROUND 2 – THE BEAST AND THE HUNTER Logan uses agility and precision. He hides between the trees, jumping from branch to branch like a silent predator. The Hulk, on the other hand, is pure brute force: ripping trees like twigs, throwing massive rocks into the air, trying to hit Logan. Logan jumps from a branch and drives his claws into the Hulk’s back, using his own weight to bring the monster to its knees. The Hulk gets up with Logan still clinging to him — and throws himself backward into a huge stone, temporarily crushing Logan. Logan’s body crumples, bones breaking. The Hulk gets up, panting, and starts to walk. But… SNIKT. The claws emerge from the ground. Logan rises, deformed, but regenerating. LOGAN (with rage in his eyes): “Is that all you’ve got?” 🟩 ROUND 3 – THE ANIMAL MOMENT The Hulk rips an entire tree from the ground and uses it as a club. Logan dodges, runs over the rocks, and leaps directly into Hulk’s eyes, attempting to blind him. He manages to tear part of the creature's face but is thrown far away by a violent punch to the abdomen. The air leaves Logan’s lungs. He falls into the partially frozen river. The water swallows him. Silence. Hulk approaches the river’s edge. Tense. The ice begins to crack. BOOM! Logan leaps out of the water like an animal. Claws up. He roars, and the Hulk stares at him — both roaring like primal beasts. 🟩 ROUND 4 – THE RESPECT OF THE BEASTS Logan drives his claws into the Hulk's chest. Blood pours out. Hulk grabs Logan by the shoulders and stares at him up close, growling, saliva dripping from his mouth. But there’s something in Hulk’s eyes — a trace of Banner — that sees the pain in Logan. Sees that Logan is also being used. HULK (gravelly voice): "Man with claws... is like Hulk..." Logan, bloodied and gasping, retracts his claws. LOGAN: "That’s why I won’t take you." Silence. Snow falls. LOGAN (looking around): "Brazil. Head south. They’ll forget you there." The Hulk begins to retreat. Slowly, his form diminishes until he turns back into Banner. LOGAN: "Head south. Brazil. It's far, but warm. And no one will find you as easily there." BANNER (surprised): "Why are you helping me?" LOGAN: "Because I’m also running from the ones who sent me to create you." EPILOGUE OF THE FLASHBACK Banner walks through the forest in the clothes Logan left behind. He carries a backpack and a map with “South – Brazil” handwritten on it. He looks back one last time. Logan watches from a distance, hidden among the trees. His hand still shaking, but his eyes steady. For the first time, he disobeyed an order. He looks at the SHIELD badge… and throws it into the snow. LOGAN (voice-over, in the present): "It was there... that I started to remember who I was." Logan takes a deep breath. He’s back in the cabin. His eyes are misty. This was one of the first moments where he defied orders and chose not to be a weapon. He stares at his reflection in a broken piece of mirror. He murmurs to himself: LOGAN: "I’m not a weapon anymore..." Suddenly, the floor of the cabin shakes slightly. A chill runs down his spine. Cut to: SECRET BASE – SOMEWHERE UNDERGROUND Surveillance cameras rotate silently. Metal walls covered in exposed pipes, red lights flashing like heartbeat rhythms. Everything looks old, but still functional. A constant hum echoes through the corridors. The camera glides slowly through this industrial maze, as if the very corridors are leading us to something hidden — something that should never be awakened. CONTROL ROOM – MOMENTS LATER A group of technicians monitors screens. On them, biometric graphs. Cellular structures. Old fight footage — including Logan’s battle with the Hulk (black-and-white images, thermal cameras capturing devastating impacts). In the center, a man watches in silence: NATHANIEL ESSEX. Elegant, cold, with a perfectly tailored dark suit, as if he didn’t belong in this industrial and grotesque world. His face is lit only by the screen’s glow. TECHNICIAN: "Sequencing complete. Weapon X and Victor Creed samples stabilized." ESSEX (without taking his eyes off the screen): "And the mutagenic synapses?" TECHNICIAN: "Both are... beyond expectations. Logan’s cells don’t just regenerate — they learn. They adapt. They are... evolutionary." Essex smiles, minimal. Cruel. ESSEX: "The adamantium made him more than human. But it was the trauma that turned him into a god. We’ll elevate pain to its final potential." LABORATORY – CONTAINMENT ROOM The camera now focuses on two massive cryogenic tanks, covered in mist and wrapped in thick wires. The lights inside glow in green and blue hues, pulsing like a heart on the verge of awakening. Outside the tanks, two plaques: SUBJECT 07: OMEGA RED SUBJECT 11: DEATHSTRIKE Slowly, the lights change from blue to red. MECHANICAL VOICE: "ACTIVATION PROTOCOL 77-A AUTHORIZED." TECHNICIAN (nervous): "Are you sure we should release both at the same time? They... they hate each other." ESSEX (calm, deadly): "Exactly. Chaos purifies. And Logan needs to see the reflection of the monster he refuses to be." TANK 07 – OMEGA RED Cybernetic serpents extend from his back. His eyes open with a demonic red glow. His mouth smiles, and the vapor inside the tank begins to stir with his breath. TANK 11 – LADY DEATHSTRIKE Her face appears partially submerged. Her fingers, now with extendable metal blades, begin to move. Her eyes open... cold, calculating. But there’s something more: personal hatred. ESSEX (voice-over): "We’ll rewrite biology. We’ll rewrite God." MAIN CORRIDOR – INSTANTS LATER Armored doors open. Two figures slowly emerge from the mist. The camera shows only metallic silhouettes — serpents and blades — walking side by side, but in deadly silence. THE KILLING MACHINE IS IN MOTION. ACT 3: FOREST OF BLOOD AND SNOW LOCATION: NORTHERN CANADA FOREST – NIGHT Snow covers the ground. The full moon bathes the forest with a silver glow, reflecting off Logan’s adamantium claws as he walks in silence. The wind blows between the pine trees, and everything is calm... too calm. Logan sniffs the air. Something familiar. Blood pheromone. Ferocity. He’s not alone. LOGAN (whispering to himself): “I should have known…” SOUND OF HEAVY STEPS IN THE SNOW. From the darkness, Victor Creed emerges. Time has passed, but he looks even more beastly. Thicker fur on his face and shoulders. A bone necklace around his neck. Beastly eyes. VICTOR: “Look who’s back in the nest... Stryker’s little dog.” Logan growls. The claws slowly extend. The tension is palpable. LOGAN: “I didn’t come to play, Creed. I’m after Stryker.” VICTOR (laughing): “You think you’re gonna get past me? They sent me to see if it’s still worth bringing you back. Wanna know? I’m starting to think it’s not.” THE FIGHT BEGINS. No dialogue. Only savagery. Victor leaps, Logan spins. Claws clash in the air. The sounds are of bones breaking, trees cracking, animalistic screams. Victor throws Logan into a pine tree, which breaks in half on impact. Logan rolls in the snow and leaps with sharp instinct, burying his claws in Victor’s shoulder, who screams. VICTOR: “THAT’S IT! THAT’S HOW I WANTED TO SEE YOU, LOGAN!” They fight like brothers at war. Like distorted mirrors. Logan attacks with precision. Victor with brutality. One bites. The other tears. One howls. The other roars. The trees around them are splattered with blood, like an abstract art of violence. FLASHES INTERCUT WITH THE FIGHT: As they fight, we see quick flashes: Training together in Stryker’s team. Dirty missions. War. Torture. A moment when Creed leaves prisoners to die, and Logan confronts him. The first time Logan fled from the team. Creed watching Logan leave, wounded in pride but curious. BACK TO THE FIGHT: Victor falls with his knee on Logan’s stomach, and the claws are about to cut his throat. VICTOR (gasping): “You think you can escape what we are? I accepted it. And you should too.” Logan, even weakened, growls: LOGAN: “I’m not a weapon anymore.” With a swift move, Logan turns the tables and buries his claws into the ground, stopping just millimeters from killing Creed. Victor smiles. Blood dripping from his mouth. VICTOR (laughing): “Hah… So that’s it? You’re a hero now?” LOGAN: “No. I’m just not your toy anymore.” Logan gets up, stumbling, leaving Victor on the ground. The snow around them is now stained red. Victor watches him leave, too weak to continue. But with a crooked smile — as if finally respecting his brother. INTERCUT SCENE — ESSEX LAB As Logan walks away in the forest… Nathaniel Essex, in his base, watches the freshly collected samples from Logan and Creed. ESSEX (analyzing the blood): “Perfect fusion of regeneration and instinct. The project can finally begin.” On the screen in the background, images of DNA being crossbred. A shadow behind him — perhaps a new experiment. Or… the next monster. CUT TO BLACK. SILENCE. ACT 4: THE DEMONS AWAKEN LOCATION: STRYKER’S BASE – ABANDONED WEAPON X FACILITY – NIGHT The environment is sterile, metallic, and lit by flickering lights. The Weapon X facility, though old, is now fully operational. Wires, computers, and cryogenic tanks fill the scene. Soldiers are everywhere, but the focus is on two men: Stryker and Nathaniel Essex. STRYKER: “Logan refuses to come back. He’s breaking what’s left of our chain of command.” ESSEX: (in a cold voice) “He’s a relic. But useful. What runs through his blood is what matters.” Stryker walks beside Essex. Stopping in front of two massive tanks, he gazes at them with a macabre sense of pride. STRYKER: “Time to take the toys out of the box.” The first tank hisses open with a burst of gas. Omega Red is inside — floating in the thick liquid. His body is marked by Soviet implants, and his mechanical tentacles tremble slightly. Red eyes open, filled with hatred. STRYKER: “He remembers Logan. Never forgot. We let the grudge fester. Now, it’s fuel.” ESSEX: “A creature driven by venom and vengeance. Perfect.” Beside it, the second tank. The visor opens. Lady Deathstrike, partially restored after the events of episode 5. Her claws are longer, her gaze colder. An evolved version of herself. ESSEX: “Her adamantium was fused with regenerative cells taken from Logan himself. Let’s see how he handles his own biotechnology turned against him.” Stryker smiles. STRYKER: “Send them both. Together. Wherever he is... Logan won’t survive.” INTERCUT – CANADIAN FOREST Logan walks among the trees. The sky begins to lighten with the first hues of dawn. He is exhausted, covered in wounds from the fight with Creed, but still moves forward. The sound of the wind in the branches echoes around him. He stops by a stream, staring at his reflection. LOGAN (in a low voice): “How many times do I have to pay for this past?” CUT QUICKLY TO: LOCATION: ESSEX BASE – DARK ROOM Essex watches Logan through a satellite camera. He touches the screen as if about to release something greater than monsters. Behind him, in a sealed capsule, a formless, gestating shape begins to pulse. Something even more experimental. The future. ESSEX: “I’m not a weapon anymore... Let’s see if the world believes that too.” FINAL SCENE OF THE EPISODE Omega Red and Lady Deathstrike walk through the forest. The snow melts under Omega Red’s steps, releasing a greenish vapor. Lady Deathstrike leaps through the trees with agile, almost feline movements. CAMERA ZOOM OUT. They are hunting Logan. The final track is heavy, tense — with beats reminiscent of a war march. The silent terror of what is to come. CUT TO BLACK.

  • otsutsuki Episode 8 - The Price of Immortality: ACT 1: INVASION IN THE DARKNESS EXT. CANADIAN FOREST – DAWN The cold light of dawn filters through the fog-covered trees. The forest is silent, almost reverent. Logan’s heavy footsteps echo among the roots. His body is wounded, his clothes torn and stained with dried blood, but his gaze — firm, lethal — belongs to a man who has already lost everything and is still standing. He walks slowly, following tracks left by heavy vehicles. He stops, touches the ground, smells the wind, and closes his eyes. LOGAN (low, hoarse voice): “I’m coming, bastard.” In his hand, a small, nearly imperceptible object: a button with the SHIELD logo, corroded. A reminder of the past. An echo of what he once was. EXT. STRYKER’S BASE ENTRANCE – ROCKY CLIFFSIDE Logan reaches a clearing and stares at a steep cliff. Without hesitation, he climbs the jagged rocks with extended claws, embedding them in the stone whenever he slips. Upon reaching the top, he finds a camouflaged entrance with optical technology. He digs his hand into the rock, forces it — and tears the embedded control panel open. The camouflage fades. The entrance reveals a wide tunnel, where only darkness and the sound of industrial ventilation dominate. INT. STRYKER’S BASE – INTERNAL CORRIDORS PULSING RED LIGHTS illuminate the dark environment. Cameras silently follow Logan’s every move. He proceeds, alert, sniffing the air for danger. CUT TO: Stryker watches through the security screens, his eyes narrowed. Behind him, Omega Red adjusts his tentacles. Nearby, Lady Deathstrike sharpens her claws with slow, almost artistic movements. The tension is palpable. STRYKER: “The circus has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time for the BIG SHOW.” (Easter egg: as Stryker says this, a soft, nearly imperceptible instrumental version of “The Greatest Show” plays in the background — suspense style, low strings, and a slow beat, distorted like an echo of the circus theme.) INT. CENTRAL HANGAR – CONFRONTATION ROOM Logan enters a large dark hall. As he steps into the center, spotlights flicker on in all directions. The floor is metallic. The silence is absolute. Suddenly... SHRAAAAK! Tentacles slither from the ceiling — Omega Red drops violently. OMEGA RED: “Finally… the Cold War animal.” Right behind him, Deathstrike appears, running along the walls like a fast shadow. DEATHSTRIKE (smiling): “The main event of the night.” COMBAT: LOGAN vs OMEGA RED & DEATHSTRIKE The fight explodes with ferocity. Logan leaps, sinking his claws into Omega Red, but is struck by a tentacle blow that shatters a wall. Deathstrike attacks with precise strikes, trying to incapacitate Logan. He counters, but realizes she’s faster and more brutal than before. Omega Red uses his tentacles to drain Logan’s life force, as in the comics — the mutant’s skin starts to turn pale around the edges. Logan, in a burst of rage, cuts one of the tentacles off and drags Omega Red by the leg, throwing him into a steel column. Meanwhile, Deathstrike leaps from above and sinks her claws into Logan’s shoulder — he screams but grabs her arm with strength and says: LOGAN: “I’ve had worse... in a cage, for a handful of change.” He throws her aside. BREATHING MOMENT – MEMORY FLASH Logan, gasping, falls to his knees. Omega Red’s serum still circulates through his body. He starts to have distorted flashes: Himself, in an underground ring. The lights. The crowd screaming. The announcement in the background: “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE MAN... THE MYTH... THE ANIMAL! THE WOLVERINEEEEEE!” And in the background, the show’s music begins to play... yes, a distorted version of “The Greatest Show,” echoing like an old trauma. YOUNG LOGAN (voice from the past): “I’m not a show. I’m a curse...” He wakes from the glimpse with renewed anger. END OF ACT 1 – LOGAN WINS, BUT HE’S BROKEN With one last brutal thrust, Logan rips off Omega Red’s mask, drives his claws into his chest, and brings him down. Deathstrike, weakened, tries to get up — Logan just stares. LOGAN: “Tell Stryker the show’s over.” He punches her in the chin, knocking her out. Bleeding, dragging himself, he reaches the final door. INT. CONTAINMENT CHAMBER – DARK, COLD Mariko is unconscious, strapped to wires and tubes. Logan enters, his knees failing. He disconnects the devices and lifts her in his arms. MARIKO (weakly opening her eyes): “Logan…?” LOGAN (tired but firm): “I’m here, Mari. Let’s go home.” The siren begins to blare: SELF-DESTRUCT INITIATED. FINAL SCENE OF ACT 1: Logan carries Mariko through flames and falling debris. In the background, the sound of the explosion grows louder. They escape through a collapsing tunnel, and the BASE EXPLODES BEHIND THEM. Cut to Logan and Mariko lying under the stars, him with his eyes closed, still breathing. LOGAN (hoarse voice, staring at the sky): “You’re alive… That’s enough.” He passes out. CUT TO BLACK. ACT 2: THE GHOST ESCAPES The fog envelops the trees like a veil of silence. Logan wakes up, lying on the wet ground, covered in dried blood. His chest rises and falls with difficulty. Beside him, Mariko sleeps, still unconscious, but alive. He touches her face gently. His body cracks as he rises, each step causing pain, but he continues. The forest seems to breathe with him, heavy. INTERIOR. ABANDONED CABIN – CANADA – LATE AFTERNOON Logan carries Mariko in his arms, entering the timeworn cabin. Inside, it’s rustic but warm. An improvised fire illuminates the space with an amber glow. He lays her on an old mattress and covers her with a blanket. Then, he sits on the floor, breathing deeply. For the first time in a long time... he looks truly tired. EXT. CABIN PORCH – NIGHT Logan smokes a cigar. The cold breeze cuts across his face, but he doesn’t move. He simply stares at the forest. He looks at his hands — the claws, still stained with blood, slowly retract back inside. LOGAN (voiceover): "Every time I raise these claws... I leave someone behind." Flash of memories. Remembrances of Mariko. Always someone, always him left behind. INTERIOR. ESSEX BASE – UNKNOWN LOCATION Mr. Essex, shrouded in shadows and red light, walks in front of tubes containing blood samples: LOGAN VICTOR CREED DEATHSTRIKE (incomplete) OMEGA RED (unstable) The genetic structures replicate on monitors. In a glass incubator, something grows slowly. ESSEX (to himself): "They still think Wolverine is the end... But he's just the beginning." The camera reveals the digital display: "SUBJECT: X-23 – STABILIZATION 87%" INTERIOR. CABIN – ROOM – NIGHT Logan sits beside the bed. Mariko wakes up, weak. Her eyes meet his. MARIKO: "You came back for me." LOGAN: "I came back... but I don't know if it’s the right thing." MARIKO: "You're a broken man, Logan... but you're still a man." Silence. He holds her hand for a moment. The unspoken words say more. EXT. RIVER – DAWN Logan kneels at the river's edge, washing the blood from his hands. The dark water reflects his face. He stares at his reflection. A man, an animal, a ghost. LOGAN (voiceover): "What’s left... when the fight ends?" He throws what’s left of the special team jacket into the river. A symbol of the past. It dissolves in the current. SOUNDTRACK: INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF "THE GREATEST SHOW" (EASTER EGG) A dark, slow instrumental version of the song "The Greatest Show" plays in the background — an irony. The melody now is slow, almost melancholic, as if mocking the spectacle of pain that was his life. The lyrics are absent — only the piano and strings, distorted, cradling Wolverine’s solitude. FINAL SCENE OF ACT 2 Logan enters the cabin again, walks to Mariko, and whispers: LOGAN: "After you get better... I want you to run. Go far. Find your life. Mine... is over." Mariko grips his hand, with effort. MARIKO: "You can still choose. We always can." He doesn't answer. But his eyes — for a brief moment — shine with a glimmer of hope. CUT. ACT 3: BLOOD, IRON, AND REDEMPTION INTERIOR. STRYKER'S BASE – MOUNTAIN EDGE – NIGHT The rain falls heavily, almost as if the sky is at war with the Earth. A metal gate opens with a bang, completely destroyed by Logan's claws. He enters. Silent. Precise. The lone wolf is back on the hunt. Cameras follow him. Alarms flash red, but don't sound. Stryker was already expecting him. INTERIOR. MONITORING ROOM – STRYKER'S BASE STRYKER, calm, watches the monitors. Beside him, two giant figures approach: Lady Deathstrike – empty eyes, transformed into pure machine. Omega Red – sadistic, wrapped in serpentine cables. STRYKER: "Let him in. Today, he won’t leave." INTERIOR. STEEL CORRIDOR – PATH TO THE CENTER OF THE BASE Logan advances. Flickering lights. Deadly silence. Suddenly, a metallic sound. Something moves... fast. BAM! Deathstrike strikes first, emerging from the shadows. Sharp claws clash with his. Sparks fly. Screams. Logan is thrown into the wall — debris flies. He rises, bleeding. Before he can react, the cables wrap around his body — Omega Red emerges, smashing him against the ceiling with supernatural force. INTERIOR. MAIN ROOM – FULL COMBAT Logan is thrown into the center of the room. Deathstrike and Omega Red advance like synchronized predators. He rises. Soaked. Bloodied. But standing. LOGAN (growling): “You’ll have to do better than that.” The fight begins. A bloody ballet of violence. Deathstrike leaps at him with surgical precision. Omega Red spreads his tendrils, trying to crush him from all sides. Logan moves between them like a caged animal. He bleeds, screams, roars. But never retreats. Every blow he receives, he returns double. BRIEF FLASHBACK INTERCUT IN THE FIGHT – VISUAL MONTAGE While being beaten, flashes of his scars return: Kayla, dead before his eyes. Yukio, holding his hand while warning him of what was to come. The old samurai master in Japan, fallen after a Hydra attack. Mariko, screaming his name as she was taken. Stryker’s cold expression. Omega Red’s laughter echoing among the bodies in the Cold War. The narration continues: LOGAN'S VOICE (overlapping): “The price of immortality is remembering every face you didn’t save.” CLIMAX OF THE FIGHT Logan pins Deathstrike against an electrical panel — a surge explodes in sparks, frying her circuits and paralyzing her. Omega Red grabs him by the neck and lifts him into the air, his fangs opening to drain his life energy. But Logan, in desperation, activates all his claws and drives them into Omega Red’s chest, piercing through his muscles and organic armor. Animalistic screams echo. He screams with all his might — LOGAN: “YOU WON’T TAKE ANYONE ELSE!” And he buries his claws into Omega Red's skull, ending everything. SILENT ROOM – AFTER THE FIGHT Logan stumbles. Blood drips down his face. Bodies on the floor. The base is in ruins. He looks around. No sign of Stryker or Essex. But then he hears a muffled scream… It’s Mariko. INTERIOR. CONTAINMENT CELL – MINUTES LATER Logan breaks the door down. Mariko is tied up, but alive. She looks at him — tears in her eyes. MARIKO: “You came back for me.” LOGAN (whispering): “Always.” He carries her in his arms. The broken hero. The wounded animal. But, in that moment, he is just a man. A man who doesn’t give up. FINAL SCENE OF ACT 3 – EXT. FOREST / BASE EXIT – DAWN The sun begins to rise. Logan walks with Mariko in his arms, crossing the forest. Behind him, the base slowly explodes — as if burying the past once and for all. But something remains... INTERIOR. ESSEX'S LAB – FINAL FLASH The lights flicker. The lab is empty. But one chamber is open. Inside it, a pair of female claws scratch the glass from the inside out. Small. Thin. But lethal. A soft, almost childlike whisper: VOICE (gentle): “Daddy?” CUT TO BLACK. ACT 4: The Price of Immortality LOCATION: INTERIOR OF THE BASE – GENETIC RESEARCH SECTOR The corridor is now a graveyard of bodies and twisted steel. Omega Red lies unconscious, Lady Deathstrike vanished in the rubble. Logan, almost out of strength, walks with dragging steps, leaving a trail of blood. He finds Mariko inside a containment tank, hooked to wires and tubes. Her breathing is weak, but her eyes slowly open as she feels his presence. LOGAN (panting): — I found you... He breaks the glass with brutal effort, his muscles trembling. The water floods the floor, and he holds her in his arms, gently pulling the cables from her skin. MARIKO (weak): — I thought you wouldn’t come... LOGAN: — I always come back. Even if the whole world tries to stop me. As he carries her through the dark corridors, alarms continue to sound. But something is wrong... 💉 LOCATION: CONTROL ROOM – JUST BEFORE THE BASE AUTOMATICALLY EXPLODES A terminal displays the message: "GENETIC DATA EXTRACTED SUCCESSFULLY – TRANSFER: COMPLETE" The camera reveals Essex, watching everything on a monitor from a distant place. He smiles, coldly. ESSEX: — Evolution needs a catalyst. And now I have two. He shuts the laptop and disappears into the darkness. 💥 FINAL EXPLOSION – BASE DESTROYED Logan and Mariko barely escape the base before the explosion consumes everything in a giant flame. They crawl out, falling into the snow. She tries to thank him, but he only looks at the horizon, his eyes lost. LOGAN (low voice): — It’s over... But the expression on his face says otherwise: nothing is over. 🏞️ FINAL SCENE – SOMEWHERE IN THE CANADIAN MOUNTAINS – DAYS LATER Mariko wakes up alone in a simple cabin, with a note on the table: "You deserve a life without monsters. I was made to fight... ...not to live in peace. – Logan" Outside, we see footprints in the snow fading into the forest. The soundtrack begins softly, almost like a lament. 🎵 FINAL SONG: "The Greatest Show" – slow piano instrumental version (The music emerges as a melancholic and ironic whisper. The "greatest show" was one of pain and survival.) 🎬 POST-CREDIT SCENE LOCATION: EMBER CORPORATION LAB – SUBLEVEL 0 Red lights flash. A figure covered in tubes and circuits pulses inside a cryogenic chamber. On the screen, an inscription appears: "WEAPON XI – ACTIVATION IN PROGRESS" "SUBJECT: LOGAN + MULTIPLE DNA" MALE VOICE (OFF) (ESSEX): — If I can't control the original... then I create a new one. The screen cuts to black. And we hear the X-Men theme, with the following phrase on the black screen: "Wolverine will return in X-Men: Sinister"
