Black screen. A heartbeat echoes in the dark. Then silence. The following words appear in golden text:

> “In the beginning was the Image. Then the Image fell.”

FADE IN:

---

EXT. RUINS OF ELYSIUM – NIGHT

A shattered futuristic city — ancient African pyramids fused with alien tech. Smoke hovers in the neon-lit air.

NARRATOR (V.O.)

They say the first man was not born... but remembered. A reflection cast from eternity, now broken.

---

INT. UNDERGROUND BUNKER – SAME TIME

ZANIEL (24, dark dreadlocks, glowing mark on his chest) jolts awake from a dream. He breathes heavily. His hands tremble.

ZANIEL

(whispering)

Why do I remember a world I never knew?

He looks in a cracked mirror — behind his eyes: galaxies swirl.

---

EXT. STREET MARKET – DAY

A chaotic post-collapse society. Currency is memory. People trade in tech, herbs, and encrypted memory chips. Afro-futurist fashion, tribal cybernetics.

Zaniel walks, hood up, avoiding the patrolling Seraphim Drones.

A hologram flashes:

> "SURRENDER YOUR IMAGE TO THE ORDER. REUNIFICATION IS SALVATION."

---

INT. ORACLE’S CHAMBER – LATER

THE ORACLE (an androgynous elder with blue skin tattoos and blind white eyes) sits on floating rocks.

ORACLE

You are not from the Earth. You are fallen into it. You must return... before they erase what you are.

She hands him a KEYSTONE — pulsing with ancient light.

---

EXT. OUTER WASTELANDS – NIGHT

Zaniel walks through dreamlike terrain: sacred geometry carved into desert stones. He meets IMAIA (warrior-priestess, fierce and poetic).

IMAIA

The Order calls us broken. But broken mirrors still reflect. You carry the First Light. You are the last Image.

---

INT. ORDER'S CITADEL – THRONE ROOM

ARCHON VAAL (a god-AI hybrid with gold-plated skin and no face) watches holograms of rebellion rise.

VAAL

Initiate “Oblivion Protocol.” Memory must not survive. The Image must never rise again.

---

MIDWAY CLIMAX – "THE AWAKENING"

Zaniel undergoes a sacred rite in the Valley of Stars, floating in astral space. Ancestors appear, singing in Zulu, Sumerian, and binary.

His body levitates. His MARK burns gold, revealing wings made of data and light.

---

FINAL BATTLE – SKY ALTAR

A gravity-defying battle: Seraphim Drones vs rebel tribes. Imaia fights beside Zaniel. She’s wounded.

IMAIA

(bleeding, smiling)

You are not just the fallen image... you are the original.

Zaniel merges with the Keystone. Time rewinds. Stars align.

He speaks one word:

ZANIEL

Ubuntu.

A blast of consciousness erupts. Every person across the world remembers who they were before the Fall.

---

EPILOGUE – BLACK VOID

Zaniel sits alone in space. A single mirror floats before him. He touches it.

His reflection looks back — not as a man, but as the original Source.

NARRATOR (V.O.)

And so the Image rose again. Not as a copy. Not as a god. But as truth — finally remembered.
