FLOWER (EXTREME CLOSEUP)
It begins to bloom.
Zoom out to reveal...
INT. GARDEN
The garden is massive, but its apparently a laboratory of some sort because above the flowers and beautiful green life are robotic words on a moniter...
TITLE CARD: STAGE 2: DEVELOPMENT
INT. CONTROL ROOM
An EXOMORPH looks on. Next to him is an EXOMORPH SCIENTIST.
EXOMORPH BOSS
Add more power.
Exomorph Scientist pulls a switch. Elevating the power levels.
We look on as we see the plants grow much more and quicker.
Pull out and pan down to see...
INT. BASEMENT OF FACILITY
A human is strapped to a machine. The contraption is syphoning energy out of him. He is still alive, but barely.
HUMAN
Kill me...
More power gets sucked out of him and he dies.
INT. GARDEN
The entire Garden explodes with more life.
INT. CONTROL ROOM
EXOMORPH BOSS
A sucess.
EXOMORPH SCIENTIST
We lost him.
EXOMORPH BOSS
How much more energy can we salvage from the body?
EXOMORPH SCIENTIST
About twenty-eight percent.
EXOMORPH BOSS
I look forward to your report.
EXOMORPH SCIENTIST
I look forward to writing it.
INT. MEETING ROOM
Exomorphs are sitting around in a circle.
A DAIMYO (Exomorph) is standing up in the center.
DAIMYO
We have taken a brief look at what advances in energy these human life forms can provide for us. As you can see, they are economical, and if one life form could jumpstart the growth of an entire mini ecosystem, imagine...
Pictures of ships and weaponry are put on a moniter.
DAIMYO (CONT’D)
Their usage in improving our weaponry, powerplants, and all other ways of life. After our next round of expirements, we will be discussing other applications for usage such as fighting disease and elongating our lives.
EXOMORPH
What about this “thing,” Engal?
DAIMYO
Engal?
EXOMORPH 2
That is what we heard on the monitors during that event when... we lost one of our own.
DAIMYO
Tell me more.
EXOMORPH 2
Aparently one of our sisters came in contact with a being identitfied as an “Engal.” She was then killed in combat.
DAIMYO
Sounds vague. However if we have lost one...
EXOMORPH 2
We lost two.
DAIMYO
...two.
He pauses.
DAIMYO (CONT’D)
Whatever this Engal is, we must consider it a potential threat. I want all records of what happened in the last few weeks, I want research, and I want figures!
He looks his fellow Exomorphs in the eye.
DAIMYO (CONT’D)
We begin phase two. And I want that “thing” found and taken out!
EXT. MANSION - EVENING
A basic shot of the mansion. People are coming in, obviously rich folk.
INT. MANSION
NOBLE, a rich man, is giving a toast to his guests.
NOBLE
I would like to thank you all for coming to the biggest event of the year, my anual non charity meeting. Now, let us get drunk, gossip till our hearts content, and plan the future of this very city.
JAROD (V.O.)
To my dear readers, this is the first edition in which will be a recurring segment. You may already know my name and thus you know my reputation. So it may come as a shock to you that I am writing from a lesser known publication which has found its audiance via the likes of heavy sensationalized stories, peices backed without sources, and ultimately claims that would make a paparrazi blush. However I am here to write to you because I have felt the knot of censurship on my throat from most newspapers and thus I could not find means to write to you, without their filter. So what is to come will be stories, ubelievable in nature, but endoursed by my word and honor which will more likely be questioned in the coming times. So, if you wish to sit down and read this, and encourage me for what I have to say, allow me to entice you with the tales in which I have come across that may shock you if you allow yourself to beleive.
During the time of this monologue, people are in an upper class party.
A man, STYX, is walking to the restroom. Behind him is a shadow.
INT. RESTROOM.
Styx enters the restroom.
He breathes heavily and splashes water on his face.
He looks up in the mirror and sees a monster behind him.
He turns around to see... himself! (A doppleganger.)
STYX
What the hell?
The other Styx smiles.
Styx goes to scream when his is overcome by a shadowed.
EXT. RESTROOM.
No sound.
JAROD (V.O.)
Noble, the richest man in the city, is holding a party today, attended by some of the sleaziest rich people in all of the colony. New initiates who attend this party, enter niave, come out forever changed.
EXT. MASTERSON’S OFFICE - MORNING
An establishing shot.
INT. MASTERSON’S OFFICE
Detective Masterson is watching the news with an ominious look on his face. He is twitching his fingers around.
MIKA (ON TELIVSION)
This is Mika, reporting. Earlier today Styx, head of Neo-Corp, spoke today about the controversy of his suprise buyout of the C6 Prison. When asked directly why he privatized the prison, including all inmates, he had this to say.
STYX (ON TELIVSION)
Every man deserves a second chance, and our current system is not working. I plan on rehauling the entire prison, making it less of a punishment, and more of a rehabilitation centre. Also I will focus on letting those who have exemplified themselves and shown complete reform to be released.
MASTERSON
This is bull.
MIKA (ON TELIVSION)
Whhile this is not the first time that someone has privatized a detention centre, this is the first time that such a big purchase has been performed.
Masterson turns off the telivision.
INT. CHIEF’S OFFICE
MASTERSON
How can they do this to us?
CHIEF
Calm down.
MASTERSON
We put those b******s away! You remember Henry Hill!
CHIEF
I wish I could forget Henry Hill.
MASTERSON
How many of our people did he kill? When he got assinged to C6, that was the best day of my life. You got to fight this! We have rights too!
CHIEF
I don’t think this is a fight we can win.
MASTERSON
If you wont object, then I will.
CHIEF
Masterson!
MASTERSON
Yeah?
CHIEF
This is an order. Stop.
MASTERSON
What?
CHIEF
Let them have their day.
Masterson starts to walk away.
MASTERSON
One last thing.
CHIEF
Yeah?
MASTERSON
They released Johnny from the prison. He made the first cut.
CHIEF
Well then, keep an eye on him.
MASTERSON
Henry is also on the list. He may be released in the coming weeks.
CHIEF
Get some rest.
Masterson walks out.
EXT. NEWS STORE - AFTERNOON
A newspaper is pushed to the store.
A person grabs it and reads it.
JAROD (V.O.)
Dear reader, as of early this morning, shortly after the initial meeting that lead to Neo-Corp purchasing the use of the C6 Prison Facility, it should be note that a high funds of Develop-Co where bought by parties interested in Neo-Corp. Further analysis would lead to the speculation that a merger between these two super companies may be in effect. This would make Styx, if the merger were to be in his favor, one of the most influential business men in the colony, him overseeing one out of every twelve employed individuals in the colony. The record still is held by Tyson Industries, which, through its many sub companies, employs one in five, including the police. It should also be noted, dear reader, the former warden could not be reached.
The person looks at the news paper in an odd look.
JAROD (V.O.) (CONT’D)
He may be missing.
INT. NEWS PAPER OFFICE
BOSS
I would like to thank you for agreeing to stay on board with us.
JAROD
Um thanks?
BOSS
Dont be so humble. I have to say, I read the whole article you wrote and while you have
criticised us, I think you are a welcome additioned to our poorly funded paper.
JAROD
Well, it is a pleasure to be here.
BOSS
I just hope you dont find this a bit too beneath you.
JAROD
As long as I am allowed to write, I will glad to stay as long as you will keep me.
BOSS
By the way, did you hear the news?
JAROD
Hear the news? Not much escapes me these days.
BOSS
So you heard about the riot?
JAROD
Riot?
BOSS
C6. You havent been listening to the police dispatcher?
JAROD
No... (Stupid!)
BOSS
Listen to this.
STYX (O.S.)
We request police reinforcements.
CHIEF (O.S.)
Granted. We will be sending all available forces A.S.A.P.
The sound is cut.
JAROD
Huh, why not ask what caused the riot?
MASTERSON (O.C.)
This is detective Masterson, I am heading to the area...now.
JAROD
I am sorry, but I got to go!
BOSS
Where?
JAROD
I got a story to cover. I promise you, this story will put you on the map!
EXT. PRISON - EVENING
People are running and fleeing in terror. Meanwhile some harsh looking convicts are trying to run out.
Outside of that, there are police baricades.
COP
Don’t let any of them through.
DISPATCHER
We have just recieved confirmation, they have stormed the armory. I repeat, we have armed rioters!
A prisoner fires down.
EXT. JAROD’S CAR
He is driving like a bat out of hell.
INT. JAROD’S CAR
DISPATCHER
We have two officers down!
INT. MASTERSON’S CAR
He hears the same thing and looks pissed.
EXT. PRISON
The scene has gotten worse.
Masterson gets out of his car.
MASTERSON
Who is in charge?
COP 3
I am.
MASTERSON
I am Detective Masterson, the rest of the division is on its way.
COP 3
That gives you seniority.
MASTERSON
I dont want it. Just tell me what the situation is.
COP 3
A riot broke out. They were in the middle of transfering out all security for private security when... this happened.
MASTERSON
How many have we captured.
COP 3
Four.
MASTERSON
Can...I see one?
COP 3
Sure.
They walk away from the fire fight for a moment.
COP 3 (CONT’D)
You, talk!
COP 2
Excuse me. We have reinforcements.
CRIMINAL
Don’t send me back!
MASTERSON
What caused this riot?
CRIMINAL
Something... I don’t know what. The last two days have been hell.
MASTERSON
I heard it was the changing of the guard... no security.
CRIMINAL
There is too much security. When they left, we got mad, but thats because none of us
wanted to be there. Transfer me! Please!
COP 3
Thats up to your warden.
Criminal’s eyes seize in horror.
MASTERSON
Have you been hearing any strange sounds? Have people been taken away?
COP 3
What?
MASTERSON
Humor me!
CRIMINAL
The first day, they released two crazy folks. Sick b******s. Just like that. After that, the prison has been getting more empty. It scares the hell out of me. The 3rd Avenue Reapers...I havent seen a single one of them!
MASTERSON
Sounds?
CRIMINAL
Just one. A scream. It pitched the entire place. We all heard it.
Masterson’s phone rings.
MASTERSON
Hello?
INT. LIBRARY
JAROD (ON PHONE)
I found the map to the facility. You willing?
EXT. PRISON
Masterson thinks for awhile.
INT. LIBRARY
JAROD
Is it them? Or is this just a riot?
EXT. PRISON
MASTERSON
This situation stinks, but no confirmation on the Exo’s.
INT. LIBRARY
JAROD
So, you think Styx is an Exomorph.
EXT. PRISON
Masterson scowls.
MASTERSON
The thought crossed my mind.
JAROD (O.S.)
Do you have it with you?
Masterson puts his hand on the morpher.
MASTERSON
...yeah.
JAROD
I hate to do this, but I think we need to infiltrate.
COP 3
Whats on your mind?
MASTERSON
I am going in.
COP 3
I will send backup!
INT. TOWER
PRISONER
Looks like they are moving in.
HENRY HILL
Perfect.
PRISONER
What are you doing here anyways Henry, you are a free man now.
HENRY HILL
For fun.
INT. LIBRARY
JAROD
You in?
INT. PRISON
MASTERSON
Yeah. We are in the east wing. We had some trouble but they are gone.
JAROD (O.S.)
Backup with you?
MASTERSON
Yes.
They look around. As long as the squad is armed, none of the prisoners are attacking them.
They just back off.
COP 2
This door is locked.
JAROD (O.S.)
The command centre lies ahead.
MASTERSON
Get it open.
INT. LIBRARY
Jarod is watching the event on telivision.
MIKA (ON TELIVSION)
It apears the situation is coming to order. However the death toll is considerably high.
All of a sudden, the telivision sparkles.
JAROD
Oh no.
The feed is cut all together.
Jarod goes online, he is surfing for a live feed via other sources.
JAROD (CONT’D)
No.
They are all down.
JAROD (CONT’D)
We have a problem.
MASTERSON (O.S.)
What’s that?
JAROD
The feed is cut. All of them. Complete media blackout.
INT. COMMAND CENTRE
Styx is looking on as Masterson and everyone are trying to get in.
STYX
How about we change up the game a little?
He smiles.
INT. PRISON
The door opens.
The police force enter.
JAROD (O.S.)
This elevator should take you strait into the center of the command room.
INT. COMMAND CENTRE
STYX
So it apears a short wave radio is reaching to the outside, not for long.
INT. LIBRARY
JAROD
Hello? Masterson!? HELLO!?
INT. BASEMENT
The police bust out of the elevator.
COP 2
This isnt the command centre.
COP 4
It must have been redirected to the basement. But how?
MASTERSON
Freeze!
A figure walks forward.
The rest of the police look forward.
HENRY HILL
Greetings.
MASTERSON
Henry Hill!
HENRY HILL
And you are?
MASTERSON
I am...
HENRY HILL
So which one of you is this Engal dude?
COP 2
Stay still and put your hands in the air.
MASTERSON
I am!
HENRY HILL
And do you have a name sir?
MASTERSON
I am Billy. Detective Billy.
HENRY HILL
Well then, my quarrel is not with these people here. Tell these lackys of yours to retreat.
MASTERSON
Stand back men. This man is dangerous.
HENRY HILL
I am looking forward to this.
Masterson steps forward.
MASTERSON
So Exomorph, what is your story?
HENRY HILL
I am not an Exomorph! How dare you call me that!
MASTERSON
What?
Styx walks in from the catwalk.
STYX
He is not one of us. No, but rather he is the compilation of our best technology enfused into an armor suit. Much like you Engal. Although I think our technology is superior to yours. Now, for your freedom, I command you, show them your power.
Henry Hill morphs into a Human-Exomorph Hybrid warrior (an exomorph version of Engal).
STYX (CONT’D)
Meet Excel.
EXCEL stands before Masterson. He reaches out his hands and points them at two of the officers. In a movement, he fires an energy blast, killing them.
MASTERSON
What!?
Foolishly, the rest of the officers come running at him, shooting and so forth.
Excel runs forward, taking out these ugly blades from his forearms and dices them through.
Masterson stares at horror.
Styx disapears.
EXCEL
I am looking forward to this.
MASTERSON
You...how could you?
EXCEL
Stop talking and give in to death!
MASTERSON
Only your death.
Masteron takes out his morpher and transforms into Engal.
EXCEL
So, I take it I am the better looking monster.
ENGAL
Not when I am through with you!
EXCEL
You aren’t going to arrest me?
Engal takes out his blades.
EXCEL (CONT’D)
So, that is your answer.
They charge at each other.
They go blow for blow, neither cutting into the other.
Excel lands a dirty low kick.
Engal responds with a headbutt, sending Excel back.
Excel gets up, but Engal is quicker, he Judo-tosses Excel into the floor.
Excel looks up and fires his energy blasts knocking Engal off his feet.
Engal retracts his blades.
EXCEL (CONT’D)
What a foolish thing to do.
Excel fires energy blasts but Engal blocks them with his hands, creating a suffecient deflection.
EXCEL (CONT’D)
What?
ENGAL
You don’t have that power?
Excel runs in to slice him, but Engal just blocks the blade with his hand.
Engal grabs Excel by the head and throws him across the room.
ENGAL (CONT’D)
Lets see you block my attack now.
Engal punches at Excel as hard as he can.
Excel puts his guard up and a glowing forceild forms around his body. It holds up.
Engal is left open, and Excel lunge-kicks Engal off his feet.
Engal gets up.
ENGAL (CONT’D)
We both know how this fight is going to end....don’t we?
Excel realises as he steps forward that he is staggering.
ENGAL (CONT’D)
You must have hit your head pretty hard.
Excel charges some energy blasts and shoots them at the floor creating a cloud of dust.
When the dust clears, Excel is gone.
ENGAL (CONT’D)
He ran away.
INT. POLICE STAFF MEETING - MORNING
CHIEF
So, what happened then?
MASTERSON
We were pinned down by gunfire. However me, and a few brave souls, were able to move forward, and make our way into the prison. After making it not far from the eastern entrance, we made contact with a man who identitified himself as Detective Billy, from the 2nd District. From there, I was told to head back out and reconfirm the situation, being that our radio’s went silent.
CHIEF
And you never were able to confirm this “Billy” person?
MASTERSON
I got a good look at him. His badge looked real. Did something happen?
CHIEF
Those men you seperated from, they were found dead in the basement.
MASTERSON
What happened?
CHIEF
We have other people looking into that. I havent seen their findings yet. Continue.
MASTERSON
When I got back, a second wave was preparing to go in. I saw a helicopter strike down the tower where the snipers were held and over the course of the night, we were able to re-secure order.
CHIEF
Okay then, sounds about right. One last question, did you find anythign amiss when you went into the prison?
MASTERSON
Other than a riot, no.
EXT. CAFE - DAY
JAROD
Thats what you told him?
MASTERSON
Throws them off our trail.
JAROD
You think they wont figure us out?
MASTERSON
If we are lucky, they think it will be a person posing as a police officer.
JAROD
And if not.
MASTERSON
They got a long list of officers to be paranoid about.
JAROD
So why Billy?
MASTERSON
Billy was a new recruit on the force two years ago, he died in the line of duty. I figured why not give them the name of a boogey man.
JAROD
So, what now?
MASTERSON
I don’t know.
JAROD
I got an idea.
MASTERSON
Will I like it?
JAROD
We know the CEO is behind this right?
MASTERSON
Yeah.
JAROD
Well, odds are he is an Exomorph, right?
MASTERSON
Right.
JAROD
So, just show up to his house and arrest him. If you have a warrant, which you can make, via evidence that he intentionally caused guilty people to go free.
MASTERSON
It wouldnt stand up in court.
JAROD
Who cares about court, if you have a warrant, then you are free to arrest him. Worry about the small details later. Atleast this way gets you inside, and thats all that matters. He cant hit you with his security.
MASTERSON
What about you?
JAROD
I get dibs on the story!
MASTERSON
Fair enough.
EXT. STYX MANSION - NIGHT
Masterson drives his car up.
He presses a button on an intercom.
VOICE
Hello?
MASTERSON
This is Detective Billy, I have a warrant for Styx.
VOICE
Um....
MASTERSON
Do you want to get in the way of law enforcement? I can arrest you on sight for interfering.
The gate opens. He drives in.
Jarods voice comes from a hidden head phone.
JAROD (O.S.)
Be careful in there.
He drives up to the main doors.
Masterson gets out.
He gets out and knocks on the door.
The doors open.
INT. STYX MANSION
BUTLER
Can I help you?
MASTERSON
I am here to see Styx. I have a warrant with his name on it.
Styx walks in from the top floor.
STYX
So, you have come.
MASTERSON
We meet face to face atlast.
STYX
A warrant eh? What for?
MASTERSON
For setting loose prisoners who were not confirmed for release.
STYX
You mean the ones who actually escaped via the riot?
MASTERSON
We both know why I am here.
STYX
Then follow me.
Styx walks down the stairs and leads him to a back room.
INT. LOUNGE
STYX
So do you like this place?
MASTERSON
He must have missed his house. Tell me, is he dead?
STYX
Is who?
MASTERSON
The real Styx, or was he always an Exomorph?
STYX
How many of us have you killed so far?
MASTERSON
Two.
STYX
Just two?
MASTERSON
How many of us?
STYX
So, you are human.
MASTERSON
We both know I am more than that.
STYX
That seems fair...Engal. Although I did not think you would come to my front door. I would have prepared something if I knew ahead of time.
MASTERSON
So, the real Styx....
STYX
Dead I am afraid.
MASTERSON
How?
STYX
I vaporized him when I took over. Ever since you found that girl, we realized we can’t have lab experiments escape.
MASTERSON
You...
STYX
Don’t hate me for it.
MASTERSON
So why the prison?
STYX
Do you have any idea how many humans are in a prison? We just completed a tunnel into the facility where we have transported a good portion of the prisoners before the riot broke out. No one will miss them. No one will even remember them. I got to say, honestly, next to the idea of buying out that orphanage, this had the best catch ratio with minimum risk.
MASTERSON
But the riot?
STYX
While we did strategicly release some of the sicker humans back into society, we gave our best armor to one individual, to see how he would compare with the likes of you. Our technology versus your technology, Frankly, I am still banking on ours. That being said, I figured if anything was to get you out into the open, this would be our moment.
MASTERSON
So, will you come peacefully?
STYX
Me surrender to a human? No thanks. I have something better in mind.
Styx leans over and presses a button.
A giant tube apears, inside is Excel.
MASTERSON
What did you do to him?
STYX
I made some personal modifications to Henry Hill. Care to test drive them?
EXCEL
En...gal...
STYX
You two have fun.
STYX melts through the wall.
MASTERSON
Henry Hill.
EXCEL
I killed Detective Billy.
MASTERSON
I know. So, you chose to side with the Exomorphs?
EXCEL
With the power they offered me, how could I refuse. You saw what I did to those cops.
Masterson transforms into Engal.
ENGAL
I also saw how you were no match for me.
EXCEL
With my new modifications, I would like to see you say that again.
ENGAL
Just dont act like a coward this time.
The two of them brace for action.
They charge.
Excel ducks a punch, lands a kick staggering his opponent.
He then goes in and hits him with a combo of punches, then a kick to Engal’s stomach.
He then throws him across the room.
Engal starts to recover when Excel fires energy blasts at him.
Engal blocks the blasts with his hands.
ENGAL (CONT’D)
I wonder...
Engal slams his hands together and then slams them forward.
A shockwave sends Excel off his feet.
Excel gets to his feet when he gets punched hard in his face.
Engal grabs Excel, lifts him, and slams him, repeatedly, into the wall. On a final try, the wall caves in and Excel is thrown through to the outside.
EXT. STYX MANSION - POOL AREA
Excel struggles to get up.
Engal gets close but Excel guards up, creating a force field, that blocks Engals punches as Engal tries to break through.
Excel uses an operning to send a punch strait at Engal knocking him back.
They exchange blows, each blocking via their unique blocking techniques.
Engal shoots a shockwave, but it only pushes Excel back.
EXCEL
You can’t break through!
ENGAL
Watch me.
Engal charges up and leaps into the air and Drop Kicks at Excel.
Excel guards against it and the two clash.
Excels guard is broken through and Engal lands his dropkick.
EXCEL
I am not defeated...yet.
Excel is stuggling to get up...he can’t get past a leg and a knee off the floor.
Engal takes out his blades, they turn into flames.
Excel takes out his blades. But he is still staggering.
EXCEL (CONT’D)
Come and get cut you fool.
ENGAL
Your funeral.
Engal and Excel charge at eachother at blinding speed. (Engal dashes, Excel mostly drops forward, still unable to completely stand.
Excel is vanquished as two flaming blades are pericing through his back. Engal retracts. And moves back.
Excel turns into Henry Hill.
HENRY HILL
But...I was supposed to be powerful.
ENGAL
No words left to say, rest in peace.
HENRY HILL
Not fair.
He dies.
JAROD (O.S.)
Did you... kill him?
ENGAL
Had no choice.
JAROD
I... just worry about the Exomorph. We have to kill him before he can identify you!
ENGAL
The Exomorph...
STYX
Well done.
Styx rises from the floor as if he always belonged.
ENGAL
What the hell?
STYX
So, even you Engal, can be suprised by our power.
ENGAL
I have seen your power, it fails to me.
STYX
But have you seen mine?
Styx turns into an Exomorph (Exo-Styx.)
EXO-STYX
You see, my power is so much more than just an armor.
ENGAL
Show me.
Exo-Styx disapears into the floor.
Engal is looking around.
Exo-Styx leaps from behind and slams Engal into the ground. He then grabs Engal and throws him into the pool.
INT. POOL
Engal is getting ready to get up when he gets tackled by some thing into the wall.
He is looking in the water to see what did it but he cant see anything.
All of the sudden, something bites into him.
Engal starts elbowing whatever is biting him until it stops and then it disapears into nothing.
Engal refires up his blades and the water starts to evaporate.
The entire area turns into smoke.
When the smokes disapears, Exo-Styx is covering his eyes.
Engal sees it and slashes with his blades, but Exo-Styx evades the slash, however Engal stretches out his leg and lands a kick.
ENGAL
You bit me?
EXO-STYX
I am going to do more than that.
Engal slams his hands together.
Exo-Styx disapears into the ground, then comes up beneath Engal and grabs him.
ENGAL
Let go.
EXO-STYX
Okay.
Exo-Styx throws him against the wall.
Engal recovers and stands up.
ENGAL
(to himself)
Wait for it...
Exo-Styx leaps up beneath Engal but Engal, preparing for this, leaps into the air.
He slams his hands together then unleashes a shockwave, hitting Exo-Styx and launching him to the ground.
EXT. STYX MANSION - POOL AREA
Exo-Styx gets up. He looks infront of him.
Engal punches him hard into a tree.
Engal walks right up to him and starts punching him to the head and body.
After he stops, he pauses, then kicks him through the tree. The tree breaks under the weight and snaps.
EXO-STYX
Try and catch me.
Engal runs after him but Exo-Styx disapears into the ground.
Engal gets prepped again.
Exo-Styx comes back up but Engal evades, Blocks the attack.
Exo-Styx goes back to trying the attacks over and over, but Engal keeps evading, blocks, and counters with an attack of his own.
Eventually Engal evades and holds Exo-Styx by his head, preventing him from moving through the ground and walls.
He shoots a shockwave at him from point blank.
ENGAL
This chapter comes to an end.
EXO-STYX
But I am not done. I don’t want to be victim number 3!
Exo-Styx cant walk, he just staggers.
Engal turns his blades into firey whips.
EXO-STYX (CONT’D)
This won’t save anybody.
ENGAL
It will save enough.
Moving his arms like scissors opening, he slices both whips through Exo-Styx.
Exo Styx’s legs collapse under the weight...then he explodes.
JAROD (O.S.)
Did we win?
ENGAL
Yeah.
INT. JARODS OFFICE - MORNING
Jarod is typing on a type writer.
JAROD
Two weeks have passed since the riot in the once newly acquired prison by the new company DevelopCo. It has been a week and several days since the CEO. Styx, has gone missing. The police went to his house to see if they could find any leads but, all they would was some broken furniture, walls, and a pool-side area that had been destroyed. Security videos have showed absolutely nothing. Police came up with the conclusion that they were turned off after the morning after Noble hosted his latest party. Aparently the CEO felt some reason to become camera shy after that.
