TOKI TOKI — SEASON 3, EPISODE 11
“The Feller Fortress”
COLD OPEN — THE SHADOW IN THE CRAGS
Thunder rolls across the jagged mountain range outside the Bamboo Sea.
Lightning reveals a massive, concealed structure carved directly into the stone — a labyrinthine superstructure of metal, roots, and corrupted bamboo spires.
The Feller Fortress, now entirely overtaken by Shen’s influence.
A group of Feller scientists frantically work near a giant pulsing core of corrupted essence.
Suddenly, the monitors flash green.
SCIENTIST
He’s tapping in again—! Shut down the—
The core erupts, and the monitors go black.
A whisper echoes through the chamber:
SHEN (off-screen)
“You cannot block the Pulse.”
Green light crawls up the walls like veins.
The facility trembles as the corruption spreads.
Cut to black.
TITLE CARD — TOKI TOKI
ACT I — THE APPROACH
Scene 1 — The Mountain Path
Our heroes stand atop a cliff overlooking the fortress.
Maya zooms in with her tablet’s optics.
Green energy glows through the windows like a heartbeat.
MAYA
Shen’s fused with the entire base…
He’s turned it into a living Pulse conduit.
Ryukai’s voice is grim.
RYUKAI
This is no longer a human stronghold.
It’s part of him now.
Toki’s fur bristles.
TokiToki takes his paw.
TOKITOKI
Whatever’s in there…
we face it together.
Ranger Liu tightens his gear.
RANGER LIU
Let’s get our people out.
And shut this place down.
Scene 2 — Infiltration
Used to human technology, Maya cracks open a hidden service hatch.
The tunnel inside pulses with green light.
The walls… feel like they’re breathing.
Toki touches one.
It whispers Shen’s voice:
SHEN (whisper)
Guardian…
Toki jerks back.
Ryukai grips his staff.
RYUKAI
He knows we’re here.
They press forward.
Corrupted Feller guards—half-human, half-root—stumble through the halls like husks.
But Maya hacks doors, Toki purifies barriers, and TokiToki disarms traps with surprising agility.
They reach the main hub—
And hear a scream.
Scene 3 — Prisoners of the Fellers
Dozens of captured animals and forest spirits are held in containment pods — including the golden monkey saved in Season 2, now recaptured and drained.
Toki roars in fury.
Ranger Liu grits his teeth.
RANGER LIU
These poor creatures…
The Fellers were experimenting again.
Maya’s hands shake.
MAYA
No.
Worse.
Shen’s using the fortress to harvest their Pulse energy.
He’s feeding his transformation.
Toki slams his paw into the floor in anger.
The pods crack.
Toki purifies them with Serenity Form.
Animals scatter to freedom.
A small injured fox spirit nuzzles Toki’s leg.
Toki picks it up gently.
But a sharp BOOM interrupts—
General Sable arrives with corrupted Feller troops.
ACT II — GENERAL SABLE RETURNS
Scene 4 — The First Clash
General Sable steps forward, eyes glowing faint green from Shen’s influence, armor upgraded with spirit-tech plating.
GENERAL SABLE
You again.
The Guardian pest.
Ryukai snarls softly.
RYUKAI
Stand down, Sable.
You serve a monster.
SABLE
I serve evolution.
She signals her troops:
SABLE
Capture the panda.
Kill the rest.
A brutal fight erupts:
Toki uses Rootstrike to slam husk-guards into walls
Maya calls out weak points in their armor
TokiToki distracts Sable’s lieutenant with fast, chaotic maneuvers
Ryukai goes toe-to-toe with Sable in a furious, martial-arts staff duel
Sable’s strikes crack stone.
Ryukai’s counters crack air.
Scene 5 — Sable vs. Ryukai
Their duel intensifies, a blur of green sparks and bamboo arcs.
Sable smirks.
SABLE
You’re slower than the legends said.
Ryukai’s eyes harden.
RYUKAI
And you’re weaker than your master promised.
He disarms her.
She counters with a spirit-tech pulse that sends him crashing into a wall.
Ryukai struggles to rise.
MAYA
Ryukai!
Toki growls fiercely — but Sable blocks him.
SABLE
Do you understand yet, Guardian?
Every shard you claim…
He absorbs the backlash.
He grows from your progress.
Toki freezes, horrified.
Maya pales.
MAYA
He’s… feeding off the shard awakenings?
Sable grins.
SABLE
You’re making him unstoppable.
TokiToki shouts, furious:
TOKITOKI
Shut up!
We’re not stopping!
Scene 6 — Sable Traps the Trio
Sable slams her spear into the ground.
Corrupted roots spread outward, forming a containment cage.
Toki tries to break it — fails.
Ryukai strains — it shocks him violently.
Sable laughs cruelly.
SABLE
You can’t escape.
The fortress listens only to him.
Suddenly—
Shen’s voice booms through the halls like a god calling through a canyon.
SHEN
General.
Let them enter.
Sable lowers her spear slowly.
SABLE
Master Shen calls for you.
She turns away.
The corrupted cage cracks open.
The way ahead illuminates green.
Shen wants them deeper inside.
ACT III — SHEN’S CALLING
Scene 7 — The Heart of the Fortress
The group enters the central core — a huge vertical chamber where bamboo roots intertwine with machinery, forming a pulsating spiral tower.
At its top —
a floating mass of green energy.
It hums.
It hears.
MAYA (whispers)
Is that…
him?
Ryukai shakes his head slowly.
RYUKAI
No.
This is just… his reach.
Toki walks forward as if hypnotized.
Scene 8 — Shen Speaks Through the Pulse
The Pulse energy flares.
Shen’s face appears within the core — distorted, beautiful, horrific.
SHEN
Guardian.
You’ve done well.
Toki roars in defiance.
SHEN
You inherited her strength.
But not her wisdom.
Toki freezes — shaking.
TOKITOKI
Stop talking about his mother!!
Shen ignores her.
SHEN
Every shard you restore…
feeds me.
Strengthens me.
You are helping me become what the world requires.
Maya trembles.
MAYA
He’s using the Pulse to grow beyond physical form…
Shen smiles gently.
SHEN
Join me, Guardian.
Together, we can end suffering.
One forest.
One spirit.
One mind.
The chamber vibrates.
Toki clutches his head, overwhelmed by Shen’s voice entering his mind.
SHEN (echo)
“I can end your pain.
I can bring her back.
I can make you whole.”
Toki collapses.
TokiToki catches him.
Scene 9 — Maya Snaps the Spell
Maya’s mark glows violently.
She sees Shen’s influence attaching to Toki’s spirit like tendrils.
She shoves her glowing palm toward the Pulse.
MAYA
LET HIM GO!!
Her mark emits a blast of white-green light, severing the connection.
Shen recoils.
His face twists in irritation.
SHEN
The Sight awakens further…
Good.
The core begins to overload.
Ryukai shouts:
RYUKAI
Everyone out!
NOW!
Scene 10 — Escape as the Fortress Collapses
The fortress shakes itself apart.
Roots whip through hallways.
Metal screams.
Spirit Husks stampede.
The group runs for their lives:
Toki carries TokiToki on his back
Maya navigates collapsing corridors
Ryukai deflects falling debris with precision
Ranger Liu helps injured animals escape
They burst out moments before the entire fortress collapses inward —
sucked into a violent implosion of green light.
Silence.
Only dust remains.
FINAL SCENE — SHEN ASCENDS
Deep in the corrupted world-tree realm, Shen meditates.
Each shard Toki has awakened appears as a floating fragment orbiting him — not physically, but spiritually tethered.
His transformation accelerates.
His shape is no longer fully human.
He whispers:
SHEN
Four shards awakened.
One remains.
Then…
Harmony.
His eyes open — spiraling, infinite.
SHEN
Guardian.
I await you at the final Site.
Roots burst outward like wings behind him.
CUT TO BLACK
