SHIMBO (The Last Power)

Episode 1: The Chase Begins

*FADE IN:*

*EXT. RAINY CITY STREETS - NIGHT*

Heavy rain pours down. A young man sprints desperately through the wet streets, soaked and exhausted.

SHIMBO(mid-20s, athletic, determined but weary) runs for his life.

SHIMBO: (breathing heavily, clutching his knee)

Oh man… I’m so tired… Damn it—my knee!

He stumbles to a stop, gasping. He looks left and right, then ducks behind parked cars. His eyes spot a narrow alleyway from his childhood.

SHIMBO: (whispering, hopeful but doubtful)

Wow… I guess this might lead me to some peace.

He slips into the alley and disappears into the shadows.

*CUT TO:*

*EXT. TALL BUILDING - NIGHT (FIVE MINUTES LATER)*

The BUSHiro GANG arrives, motorcycles roaring. They look furious.

LIMBO: (tough, second-in-command) kicks a trash can.

LIMBO: Damn it! We lost him! What the hell are we gonna tell the Boss?!

AZURA(aggressive, sharp-tongued) slams his fist on a car hood.

AZURA: I told you! I told you! That kid is too smart — he played us all!

LIMBO: (angry, trying to calm the group)

Relax, man. Let’s move.

*INT. LUXURY CASINO - NIGHT*

Shimbo walks through the dazzling casino, eyes wide with amazement.

SHIMBO: (whispering excitedly)

Wow!!

He accidentally bumps into a woman.

SHIMBO: (smooth, smiling)

Uhh! Sorry, ma’am! My shoulders get crazy sometimes… especially around beautiful girls like you.

KATURA: Hey!

Shimbo freezes. He turns slowly.

KATURA: You okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. By the way… my name is Katura, and you are.....

SHIMBO: (shocked)

Shimbo… Shimbo Makhiado!!

*CUT TO:*

*EXT. CITY STREET - NIGHT*

Shimbo walks cautiously, still catching his breath.

SHIMBO: (to a kind-looking woman)

I’m just looking for a place to crash for one night. Tomorrow I start my journey to Okhido.

KATURA(beautiful, strong-willed, mid-20s) smiles gently.

KATURA: This might sound strange… but my apartment is pretty big. You can stay with me if you don’t mind.

SHIMBO: (surprised, cautious)

Really!? Yeah… but I don’t usually trust strangers. Still… you seem genuinely kind. I’ll take you up on that.

They get into her car and drive off, chatting as the city lights blur past.

*TIME: 8:30 PM*

*CUT TO:*

*INT. BUSHiro HIDEOUT - NIGHT*

Loud knocking echoes. The door opens.

BOSSMAN: (sinister, powerful, sitting in a grand chair with a cigarette)

Come in.

The gang enters nervously.

LIMBO: (voice shaking)

Boss… please don’t get mad. We tried our best, but we lost him. We heard Monteno saw him at a casino with some lady late at night—

BOSSMAN cuts him off with a cold stare.

BOSSMAN: (furious): “How many times have you failed me?! I created the Bushiro gang! I can destroy you all in seconds with the power I hold!”

AZURA: (kneeling, begging): “Sorry, Boss… please give us one more chance!”

BOSSMAN: “Fine. I’ll give you three months. Now get out!”

The gang leaves silently, terrified.

*CUT TO:*

*INT. KATURA'S MANSION - NIGHT*

KATURA (smiling): “Hey, here we are.”

SHIMBO: (eyes wide): “Whoa! That’s the biggest mansion I’ve ever seen in my life! You really live here alone?”

KATURA: “Yes.” (smiling warmly)

They go inside. Shimbo is amazed by the luxury.

KATURA: “This is your room. I’m going to take a shower.”

SHIMBO: (thinking to himself): “Nyaaah! Woo! This means I can finally become a real man!”

KATURA: “There are two bathrooms—one for me, one for you.”

SHIMBO: “Damn… what a trick!” (fake smile)

KATURA: “What?”

SHIMBO: “Nothing!” (still smiling)

After showering, they watch TV, eat dinner, chat, and eventually go to sleep.

Early the next morning, Shimbo prepares to leave.

SHIMBO: (knocking on her door): “Katura?”

KATURA: (opening the door): “I’m coming!”

SHIMBO: “Hey… I wanted to start my journey to Okhido today, like I said. I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for keeping me safe. I really appreciate your kindness and care.”

(They sit together on the sofa. Katura suddenly holds Shimbo’s hands.)

KATURA: “Hey Shimbo… I want to tell you something.”

SHIMBO: (nervous, heart racing): “Y-yeah… go on.”

KATURA: “First of all… you’re a nice guy and an old friend. I knew the Bushiro gang was after you. We went to the same high school. You probably didn’t recognize me, but I remembered you. Everyone used to call me…”

SHIMBO: “Angel…?”

KATURA: (smiling brightly): “Yes!”

SHIMBO: (in his mind): “Damn… she was my crush back then! I finally found her!”

KATURA: “Please stay with me. We can be happy together. The house is so big…”

SHIMBO: “Okay… fine. But how do you know about the Bushiro gang anyway?”

Katura tells her painful backstory:

“Long ago, the Bushiro gang wanted me to join them, but I was too young. Their Boss ordered the death of my entire family. I barely escaped as my village burned. I wandered for miles until I met a man named KhotSomuda. He raised me and taught me karate and combat. Sadly, he died fighting for freedom… That’s why I live alone now.”

SHIMBO: (teary-eyed): “I’m so sorry…” The reason they are chasing me is that....

KATURA: “I know, they want your power—the Last Power. Your great-great-grandfather was a legendary warrior who fought the Bushiro gang. The Boss killed him and now wants your power to become undefeatable.”

SHIMBO: How did you know that? (Confused)

KATURA: He was a famous teacher.

SHIMBO: Yeah… it’s true. But I’m tired of running like a coward. I've been running away because I don't know how to use my power yet and...

(At the moment the Bushiro gang arrived and the sound of an explosion was heard at the wall, Shimbo was speaking. Katura ran upstairs to her room and took the weapons she had, getting ready for the battle.)

KATURA: Oh my goodness!

SHIMBO: Damn it!

KATURA: Come on Shimbo, upstairs!

LIMBO: Well! Well! Well! Finally we meet again. You thought you could run from us? Uuh uuh uuh... No way, boys! Attack! But bring Shimbo alive.

AZURA: Let's go!!!

Now there was a fight between the Bushiro gang and Katura alone, since Shimbo’s power couldn’t be known by himself on how to use it. Katura fought hard, but the Bushiro gang caught them with the gun of an electric shock, and Shimbo was bested at the moment that he was ready. So they put him in the car and left Katura behind while fainting. She got shot on the shoulder.

After twenty-five minutes, a certain man took Katura to the hospital, and in the morning Katura woke up from the bed.

*INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - MORNING*

Katura wakes up, bandaged from a gunshot wound she took protecting Shimbo.

KATURA: (coughing)

Shimbo…!!

FOUR EYES: (glasses-wearing ally)

My name is Four Eyes, please get some rest ma'am.

*TO BE CONTINUED*

Episode 2: Awakening of the Last Power

*TEASER*

*INT. BUSHiro HIDEOUT - NIGHT*

Shimbo is chained in a dark cell, exhausted but defiant.

The BOSSMAN enters with a sinister smile, flanked by Limbo and Azura.

BOSSMAN: Shimbo Makhiado… how glad I am to have you here.

SHIMBO: (weakly but firm)

What do you want from me?

BOSSMAN: This is not the time for questions. Join me. Together we can rule the entire underworld — even the universe itself. Imagine the reputation we could build. Isn’t that tempting?

SHIMBO: Sorry, but I’m not a villain like you. I’m just a guy trying to live cool… I won’t become like you.

BOSSMAN: (leaning closer, menacing)

Then choose: death… or your precious girl, Katura.

SHIMBO: (eyes widening in rage)

Damn it! Where is she?!

LIMBO: Hey man, watch your language.

BOSSMAN: (to his men)

Put him in the cell. And don’t forget to teach him a lesson — beat him across his entire body.

The gang drags Shimbo away and brutally assaults him. He collapses, weak and bloodied.

At the hospital around 7:30 AM, Katura woke up in her bed again. The conversation between her and Four Eyes began.

KATURA: (Coughing weakly)

FOUR EYES: Are you okay? Here, take this. Drink some water.

KATURA: (After drinking some water) Thanks… So what happened? And why am I here?

At that moment, Four Eyes gently told her everything that had happened — because he had seen it all. As he spoke, Katura’s lost memories slowly began to return.

KATURA: Shimbo!!!

FOUR EYES: Who’s Shimbo, ma'am?

(Confused)

KATURA: He’s… He’s a boy. He’s my friend… my partner. And I love him so much.

FOUR EYES: Wow! (making a crazy face) You really need to take some rest, ma'am!

KATURA: We were together at my place when some of the gang took him.

FOUR EYES: Do you know them?

KATURA: Mmmh… Yeah, it’s… it’s… Oh no, I forgot the name of the gang. (She started coughing again.)

FOUR EYES: Please get some rest.

The doctor opened the door and entered for a medical check-up.

DOCTOR MIKE: How is she feeling now?

FOUR EYES: At least she’s doing great, but she just needs to rest now.

DOCTOR MIKE: Alright, but what exactly happened? She was shot. If she had arrived here any later, she would have lost her life.

FOUR EYES: Doc, it’s a long story, please.

DOCTOR MIKE: Alright… So, did you give her any medication? Like a drug or something?

FOUR EYES: Yeah.

DOCTOR MIKE: Okay, fine. Just take care of yourselves.

Then the doctor left the room. Four Eyes stood near the window, quietly looking out at the view, his expression sad.

Meanwhile, in the city of Dojo, someone was speaking on the phone…

*CUT TO:*

*INT. LEO’S HOUSE - NIGHT*

LEO (ruthless drug dealer, nervous) is in his luxurious but shady home, inhaling drugs.

His phone rings.

LEO: Hello?

MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Hey.

LEO: Oh, it’s you. I told you I’ve got business to handle tonight.

MYSTERIOUS VOICE: We just want our money. Nothing more. Or we’ll come for you.

LEO: Look, I don’t give a damn what you’re saying. I run a clean business — I give you drugs, you give me cash. That’s it.

The line goes dead. Suddenly, loud knocking echoes at the door.

LEO: (low voice, grabbing guns)

Damn… who the hell is banging on my door like that?

FBI AGENT: (from outside)

FBI! Open the door! We need to talk!

Chaos erupts. Leo grabs weapons and tries to escape through the window.

*CUT TO:*

*EXT. ROOFTOP CHASE - NIGHT*

Leo sprints across rooftops. FBI agents and helicopters pursue him with spotlights.

FBI COMMANDER: (over radio)

Go! Go! Go! He’s getting away — smash the door!

Gunfire erupts. Leo fires back but is shot in the leg and falls. Agents swarm him.

FBI COMMANDER: Surrender or I’ll shoot again!

LEO: (panicking)

Okay, okay! Don’t shoot, damn it!

The FBI takes him down.

*CUT TO:*

*INT. SAFE HOUSE / CELL - NIGHT*

Shimbo, beaten and chained, speaks to himself.

SHIMBO: (whispering)

If it wasn’t for her… I don’t understand why I keep saving myself. These guys will pay for everything they’ve done.

Suddenly, a glowing spirit appears before him.

GRANDFATHER’S SPIRIT: My son… do not be afraid. I have watched over you. I endured great suffering to pass on the Last Power — so you could bring freedom to the villagers and all oppressed people. You were born to be a freedom fighter.

SHIMBO: (shocked)

Impossible…!

GRANDFATHER’S SPIRIT: Today, I will teach you how to wield it. But beware the Bossman — he uses forbidden dark powers. Fight until the very end.

The spirit fades.

Shimbo’s eyes snap open. His hair and eyes turn vibrant purple. His muscles bulge with raw power. The chains around him shatter. He looks at his reflection in a broken mirror — transformed into a formidable warrior.

SHIMBO

(whispering, tears in eyes)

Grandpa…?

TO BE CONTINUED...

Episode 3: The Last Power Awakens

*COLD OPEN*

*INT. BUSHiro HIDEOUT - NIGHT*

Chaos. Gunfire and explosions echo through the corridors. Shimbo, now in his awakened purple-haired form, moves like a storm.

BRUNO: (panicked, on comms)

Guys! Shimbo has escaped! He’s coming straight for us!

AZURA: We need backup! Limbo, get over here!

Shimbo appears in a blur in front of the remaining gang members.

LIMBO: Damn it! Impossible! Here he comes — fight him, boys!

The Bushiro gang attacks with everything they have — guns, electric shocks, and melee weapons. Shimbo dodges at superhuman speed, countering with devastating punches and kicks. Most members are taken down within moments.

AZURA: (screaming)

Damn! We’re gonna die!

LIMBO: You die — not me!

Limbo activates a glowing magic ring and leaps into a swirling portal. Azura tries to follow but is too slow.

AZURA: (terrified)

Oh! man… this is the day I die…

Shimbo stands over Azura, eyes burning with intensity.

SHIMBO: Where is your Bossman?

AZURA: (nervous)

I don’t know… he just left this night.

SHIMBO: (voice low and dangerous)

Look, man… I don’t want to hurt you. But I’m asking one more time. Where is your Bossman?

AZURA: (with fear)

Furthermore, I told you, I don’t know! Please… I don’t want to die. I have a family!

Shimbo’s anger flares. He punches Azura hard with one fist, injuring his arm.

AZURA: (screaming in pain)

AAAA! My arm!

Azura cries out loudly, clutching his injured arm.

SHIMBO: (standing over him, breathing heavily)

Tell your Boss I’m coming for him.

Shimbo turns and walks out. As he exits the building, his body briefly transforms — power surging — before returning to normal. The force of his exit causes part of the building to collapse and crumble behind him.

SHIMBO: (walking away, muttering)

One less place for them to hide.

*CUT TO:*

*FLASHBACK - INT. KATURA’S MANSION - NIGHT*

Katura and Shimbo sit close on the sofa.

KATURA: (softly)

Long ago, the Bushiro gang tried to recruit me when I was young. When I refused, their Boss ordered my entire family killed. I escaped as my village burned behind me. I wandered for miles until a man named KhotSomuda found me. He raised me from age eleven and taught me karate and every fighting style he knew. Sadly, he died fighting for freedom in his own village… That’s why I live alone.

SHIMBO: (tears in his eyes)

I’m so sorry for what happened to you…

KATURA: I know they’re chasing you for the Last Power. Your great-great-grandfather was a legendary warrior — the best. He fought the Bushiro gang and countless villains. The Boss killed him and stole his secrets. Now he wants *your* power to become undefeatable.

SHIMBO: Yeah… it’s true. But I’m tired of running like a coward.

*BACK TO PRESENT - HOSPITAL*

KATURA: (determined, trying to sit up)

I have to find him…

FOUR EYES: Please rest. You almost died.

*CUT TO:*

*EXT. CITY STREETS / HIDEOUT - DAWN*

Shimbo storms out, now fully awakened. Meanwhile, news of Leo’s arrest spreads.

LEO: (in custody, defeated)

(under his breath)

This wasn’t supposed to happen…

*CUT TO:*

*INT. HOSPITAL - LATER*

Katura, still recovering, speaks with Four Eyes.

KATURA: The gang took him from my home. I tried to fight them… that’s how I got shot.

FOUR EYES: You’re lucky to be alive.

KATURA: I have to help him. He’s the one who can end this.
