EPISODE 15 – "REBIRTH"
Scene 1 – Dawn. Training Field
The team is warming up. Bruno Salgado checks his watch.
Bruno Salgado (worried):
– Where's Miguel?
Silence. Suddenly, firm footsteps echo. Miguel appears.
Cinematic cut. Miguel walks in with a different aura. Hair tied back. Calm eyes. Absolute silence. The team stops. Everyone watches.
Narrator (deep voice):
– When instinct takes over... the world slows down.
---
Scene 2 – Tactical Training
The ball rolls. Miguel joins the starters. First play: double pressure. He closes his eyes for a second... and moves as if he can predict the future.
He intercepts the pass perfectly. Dribbles past two players. Backheel pass. Within seconds, the whole field vibrates.
Bruno (goalkeeper):
– DID YOU SEE THAT!?
Paulinho:
– Bro turned into the Neo of football!
Narrator:
– "Zero Domain." It's not about strength. It's about synchronization. It's about seeing... what hasn't happened yet.
Miguel executes a new technique: "Inverse Reflex" – anticipating opponents' movements through microscopic body reading, like he's dancing with time.
Vitão:
– He's playing pool in the dark... and hitting EVERY shot!
Camera cuts to Bruno Salgado, serious... and impressed.
Bruno Salgado (thinking):
– He's back... and he's not human anymore.

Scene 3 – Night. Leaving the Training Center
Miguel grabs his backpack. Starts walking alone. A voice calls out:
Paulinho:
– Yo, samurai! Gonna sneak off like that?
Kadu:
– Come with us, man!
Vitão:
– We thought about... you know... decompressing the chakra!
Bruno (goalkeeper):
– Let's go grab some food. We're starving.
Bruno Salgado (leaning on his car):
– Good idea. It'll do you good.
Miguel hesitates... then smiles.
Miguel: – Fine. Where to?
---
Scene 4 – American-Style Diner
The group arrives. Paulinho jokes about everything. Kadu tries flirting with the waitress using a fake French accent. Vitão pretends he's a European superstar. Bruno (goalkeeper) orders "everything with bacon."
Paulinho (checking his phone):
– I invited someone else... surprise.
---
Scene 5 – Nicolas Agustin Walks In
The door opens. Nicolas enters. Smiles turn into silence. Miguel stares. Nicolas freezes. Both stand still.
Paulinho (whispers to Kadu):
– This is gonna blow up...
Bruno (goalkeeper):
– Or... it's gonna play out.
Nicolas (looking at Miguel):
– I didn't know... he was here.
Miguel:
– And yet... you stayed.
Silence. Nicolas walks over. Everyone watches. Nicolas extends his hand.
Nicolas:
– Maybe I was too harsh... I just wanted to protect the team.
Miguel (shakes his hand):
– And I... just wanted to earn this back.
Narrator:
– Sometimes, our greatest rivals... are mirrors of our own weaknesses.
---
Scene 6 – Unexpected Encounter
On the sidewalk outside the diner... two figures. Camila and Matheus Blake, holding hands.
Vitão:
– WHOA... SYSTEM ERROR!
Kadu (shocked):
– It's the apocalypse couple!
Paulinho:
– Somebody call VAR for emotions!
Camila and Blake approach. Blake stares at Miguel. Silence.
Blake (serious):
– You're not the same anymore.
Miguel:
– Neither are you.
Camila (softly):
– That's a good thing... for both of you.
Bruno (goalkeeper):
– Let's settle this mess already...
Miguel (looking at Blake and Nicolas):
– What if... we stopped tearing each other apart?
Blake (grins slightly):
– Fine... but only for today. Tomorrow I'll destroy you on the field again.
Nicolas (serious, but smiling):
– Deal.
They shake hands. Everyone cheers.
Paulinho:
– THAT'S IT! The dream trio is back, baby!

Scene 7 – Nakamura Mansion – Game Room
Inside Miguel's high-tech mansion. 90-inch screen. Controllers for everyone. Sofas, bean bags, snacks.
Vitão (playing):
– LET'S GO! I'm playing with FUTURE FLAMENGO!
Paulinho (yelling):
– HEY, NO FAIR PICKING ZOMBIE GABRIEL!
Kadu:
– This game's insane! It even has "Zero Domain Mode"!
Miguel (laughing):
– I'd never code that in...
Nicolas (struggling with the controls):
– Which button did I press!?
Blake (teasing):
– The panic button, apparently...
Bruno (goalkeeper):
– Nicolas plays like he defends... slow but stylish.
Laughter. Screaming. Pure chaos and fun. The camera slowly pulls back, showing the group together... truly united for the first time in a long time.
---
Final Scene – Night, Mansion Rooftop
Miguel stands alone, looking at the stars. Camila arrives with two cups of tea.
Camila:
– Proud of you, samurai.
Miguel (gazing upwards):
– For the first time... so am I.
Narrator:
– The empty heart... found its rhythm. And the Zero Domain... became balance.
