Chapter 5 - chapter 5 go outside my lsland

Screen 1 — The War and the Watch

Eame looks tired as she explains.

"This world is at war. A real war. Thirteen nations are fighting right now. No one is safe."

Trunks leans back.

"Thirteen nations… looks like a world war. My world had that too."

Eame freezes.

"…Your world?"

Her eyes go wide again. "What did you just say?"

Trunks waves it off.

"Sorry. I was thinking out loud."

Eame points at his wrist.

"Then let me ask something else. That thing on your hand… that watch… it looks like technology from the future. No kingdom has anything close to that."

Trunks doesn't hide it.

"Yeah. It's from somewhere way beyond this world."

Eame stares, speechless, wondering if she just met someone who breaks every rule of her reality.

Screen 2 — Fire and Fear

Eame puts a hand over her stomach.

"I want to eat something. I can barely stand."

Trunks nods.

"Alright. Give me a second."

He taps the Omnitrix.

A pulse of blue light.

Heatblast appears in a burst of flames, the air heating instantly.

Eame stumbles back, eyes wide.

"What are you? That's not magic!"

Tibe growls, fur raised, but stays close to Trunks.

Heatblast raises his hands calmly.

"Relax. I'm just cooking."

He points at a stack of wood and fires a controlled blast.

The fire spreads across the logs, forming a perfect cooking flame.

A moment later he times out, the fire fading from his skin as he shifts back into human form.

Trunks cracks a small smile.

"See? No reason to be scared. Fire's just for food."

Eame keeps staring.

"That wasn't magic… and you changed your entire body. What are you?"

Screen 3— Escape from the Island

As Grey Matter, Trunks races around the wreckage from the destroyed ship.

His small hands move faster than any human could follow.

Broken metal becomes polished panels.

Loose bolts become tightened frames.

Magic-damaged wood is reforged into something stronger than steel.

In just five minutes, a brand-new boat rests on the shore.

Smaller than the old one, but sturdy and fast.

Eame stands in awe.

"You built that… alone… without magic…"

Grey Matter taps the side of the ship with pride.

"Brains beat spells. Remember that."

Eame nods quickly.

"You can help my country. Please… come with me."

Trunks looks out over the ocean and returns to human form.

"This island has nothing for me. Let's go see this war you keep talking about."

He steps onto the boat.

Tibe barks once and jumps in beside him.

The wind changes.

A new journey begins.

To be continued…
