[ARMA]

[Panel 1: Close-up shot of Ryo’s laptop screen, displaying lines of code and hacking software. The digital lock’s display shows a series of letters rapidly changing.]
Ryo (thinking): "Come on... almost there..."
[Panel 2: The lock clicks, and the digital display shows "ARMA." The suitcase pops open slightly.]
Ryo (smirking): "Gotcha."
[Panel 3: Wide shot of Ryo opening the suitcase fully. Inside, neatly stacked, are over 150 DATs (Digital Audio Tapes). The tapes have labels with various cryptic titles.]
Ryo (thinking): "This is it. My ticket to creating the ultimate Beast."
[Panel 4: Ryo picks up one of the DATs, examining it closely. The label reads "Forbidden Frequencies."]
Ryo (thinking): "These titles... they sound intense. Let’s see what secrets they hold."
[Panel 5: Ryo sets up the Sony DATstation PCM-E7700. The sleek, vintage machine glows as he powers it on and inserts the first tape.]
Ryo (thinking): "This is where the magic happens."
[Panel 6: The DATstation's display shows the tape loading. Ryo presses play, and sound waves begin to emanate from the speakers, visualized as swirling colors around him.]
Ryo (thinking): "Feel it... the power of pure, unfiltered sound."
[Panel 7: Close-up on Ryo’s face, a look of awe and determination as the sound fills the room, resonating deeply with him.]
Ryo (thinking): "With these, I can create something the world has never seen. My Beasts will be unstoppable."
[Panel 8: As Ryo gets lost in the sound, the door to the shop creaks open. A shadowy figure steps inside, unnoticed by Ryo. The figure's face is obscured, but a sinister aura surrounds them.]
[Panel 9: The figure approaches silently, observing Ryo’s setup and the open suitcase. The figure's eyes narrow, clearly interested in the DATs.]
[Panel 10: Suddenly, Ryo senses something off. He turns quickly, his expression changing from focused to wary.]
Ryo: "Who’s there?"
[Panel 11: The shadowy figure steps into the light, revealing a sharp, sinister grin. It’s one of the Underworld’s operatives.]
Operative: "Nice setup you’ve got here. Those tapes... they’re not meant for you."
[Panel 12: Ryo stands up, his body tensing, ready for a confrontation.]
Ryo: "I don’t know who you are, but these tapes are mine now. You want them, you’ll have to go through me."
Operative (smirking): "Oh, I intend to."
