We FADE IN on SPACE. Slowly, the camera moves through the stars as we hear the voice of KRILLIK ALKAR. KRILLIK When people look to the future, the most common thing they see is a bright and beautiful future. They see a future with flying cars and super-powered robots. We FLASH CUT to exactly what Krillik speaks of, flying cars and super-powered robots. KILLIK I'm here to tell them they're wrong. A FLASH OF LIGHT and we CUT to a series of images showing a DRASTICALLY different future. This future is a DIRTY and DEPRESSING future. KRILLIK The year 2028 is nothing but a dishevled mess of decaying buildings and psychotic lunatics. The future--your bright and beautiful future--is just as shitty as the past. The only thing that has changed is religion. In 2015, all religion was abolished. From top to bottom, it was declared that all religion is dead. There was no God, no heaven...nothing. The only thing above that blue blanket of clouds was just that...clouds. Or so they said. The real point is that only one religion exists now...Alpha. The only god you're allowed to believe in is the Alpha God. If you don't follow the ways of Alpha... FLASH CUT to a MAN falling to the ground. The man has a bullet in his head. KRILLIK (cont'd) ...you die. According to the governments and higher-ups, this is the religion we all must follow. According to them, it will keep the peace. I think they're wrong. Ironic that they say this religion will keep the peace...and all it did was cause chaos. We FLASH CUT to a series of images showing a LARGE BUILDING, the ALPHA PROTECTION AGENCY to be more precise. KRILLIK I am Krillik Alkar. I'm an officer for the APA, Alpha Protection Agency. Our main goal is to make sure people have faith in the Alpha God. I can't say I agreed with the whole Alpha God thing, but my back was against the wall. FADE OUT. The MAIN TITLES begin to display over the DARKNESS. As they come to a close, we FADE TO a DECAYING and DIRTY apartment building. EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - MID-DAY A JET BLACK CAR pulls up outside the building. The doors open and THREE MEN in RED and BLUE outfits exit. They are Krillik, DARAS RAO and CAILA ONARA. Krillik is about 6'1 with LONG WHITE HAIR. Daras is about 6'1 with LONG BLUE HAIR. Caila is about 6'2 with SHORT BLACK HAIR. They all make their way to the building. INT. APARTMENT BUILDING, APARTMENT 3B A MAN by the name of LARS SURA cowers in the corner. He shivers with fright, knowing that the APA is coming for him. There is a tense silence until Lars takes off. He comes out into the hallway and hears Krillik and his partners coming up the stairs. He takes off the opposite way. INT. APARTMENT 3F He bursts into a FEMALE'S apartment and hides here. INT. APARTMENT 3B Krillik kicks the door open, sending Daras and Caila in. They enter the apartment and begin tearing stuff up, searching for him. Krillik enters and looks around as Caila and Daras tear the place up. After a moment, Daras walks up to him. DARAS He's not here. They hear a DOOR SLAM from outside. Krillik rushes out to see Lars gunning down the stairs which lead out of the apartment building. Krillik looks back into his apartment to Daras and Caila. KRILLIK I've got him... INT. FRONT HALL As Lars makes his way down to the front desk, he looks up and sees Krillik leaping over the stairs. Krillik lands directly in front of him and delivers a STIFF KICK to the chest of Lars. As Lars lays here, Krillik pulls out his HANDGUN. The APA doesn't use some sort of futuristic laser guns, they just use normal handguns. KRILLIK Lars Sura, since you have shown no belief in the Alpha God, you are to be terminated immediately. Non-believers are not tolerated. May the Alpha God have mercy on your soul. Krillik points the gun and fires two shots, SPLATTERING blood against the wall. Krillik holsters his gun as Daras and Caila walk down the stairs. They both look to Krillik, but only Daras speaks. DARAS What should we do with the body? KRILLIK Leave it. The Alpha God will do what he wishes to it. Krillik exits, but stops when Caila speaks up. CAILA You still believe the Alpha God is a male? KRILLIK Until I see further proof, I'll believe only what I wish to. INT. KRILLIK'S APARTMENT Krillik enters his apartment and sees his wife, NAYLA ALKAR. Krillik and Nayla embrace, but Krillik is the one who is holding tighter. Nayla takes note of this. NAYLA What's wrong? KRILLIK This charade. I can't keep it up any longer. How long is it going to go on until they find out my true beliefs. Me being part of the APA won't help matters, either. They break from the embrace. NAYLA Krillik, you're not a bad person. In fact, you're the most honest person I know. In all of this hypocricy, you're the only one who's saying that all this is bullshit. KRILLIK But there's you, too. Nayla smiles. NAYLA Yes. But you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. What can you do to stop this? KRILLIK I know the Alpha God does not exist. It isn't possible. A beat. KRILLIK But if the Alpha God does exist, I have betrayed him. I will have been the one who was blind. A silence is shared between them until Krillik kisses Nayla, then walks off. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS, KLAR RAM'S OFFICE We see KLAR RAM, the current leader of the APA, sitting in his chair. As he sits here, there is a knock on the door. KLAR Come... The door opens and Krillik enters. He stands in front of Klar and salutes. KLAR Krillik, how can I help you? KRILLIK I have a question. A beat. KRILLIK Has there ever been a...mutiny? KLAR A mutiny? KRILLIK A betrayal...someone who didn't believe in the Alpha God. Klar rises from his seat and half-smiles. KLAR Yes...once. His name was Domar Vika. He was always one to point out the holes and inconcistencies in the Alpha God legends despite there never being any. As time went on, he grew further and further apart from the Alpha God. He began sharing prophecies and visions of his own. A beat. KRILLIK What prophecies? KLAR He said that on October 24th, 2028, Rymar would rise up and destroy the Alpha God. KRILLIK That's three days from now. KLAR I woudln't mark it on my calender. Anyway, he went on and on with all this until he finally left the APA. He sought refuge on Varana Six. We sent a squad of soldiers, but they couldn't find him. A beat. KRILLIK Why haven't I heard about this? KLAR You don't expect us to tell our soldiers everything, right? Krillik smirks. KRILLIK I guess not. A beat. KLAR Why the interest? KRILLIK No reason. I was just...curious... KLAR Is that all you needed? KRILLIK Yes, sir. KLAR (smiling) Fine. KRILLIK (V.O.) If he's still on Varana Six, it's possible I could-- INT. KRILLIK'S APARTMENT KRILLIK (cont'd) --find him and get his help. Krillik sits with Nayla. NAYLA Are you sure about this? Varana Six is all the way in the Taai system. KRILLIK I'm sure. It's something I need to do. If I can find this Domar Vika guy, I might be able to get some answers. A silence. EXT. VARANA SIX - NIGHT A SMALL SPACE CRUISER glides toward Varana Six. The cruiser belongs to Krillik. INT. COCKPIT As Krillik overlooks the planet, the ship's computer begins speaking. The voice of the computer is FEMALE, but CHILD LIKE. It sounds innocent. The computer's name is JENNY. The voice of the child should be enough to make the audience automatically fall in love with the character. The audience should relate to her right from the start. JENNY Where are we going, Krillik? KRILLIK Varana Six. JENNY Why? KRILLIK To find someone. JENNY Who? KRILLIK Someone important. EXT. VARANA SIX - NIGHT As the ship draws closer, a SMALL BLUE CRUISER zips past Krillik's ship and sits directly behind him. It begins firing lasers at Krillik. What follows is an exciting and fast chase through the planet. It goes on for a while until the ship rams into Krillik's, knocking him off course and onto the planet. Varana Six is a DUSTY and SAND-FILLED planet. Krillik's ship skids across the ground and halts here. The cockpit opens and Krillik exits, looking around for the ship. Without warning, a MAN in a BLACK CLOAK leaps up and tackles Krillik. They tumble across the dirt until Krillik kicks him off. The rise and run at each other. Krillik ducks the punch and kicks the man in the knee, then delivers a hard right hand to his stomach. Krillik swings, but misses. The man knees him in the gut and kicks him in the chest. The man runs at Krillik, who front flips over him and kicks him in the back. As the man rises, Krillik quickly pulls out his handgun and points it directly at the man's face. In this tense stand-off, the man pulls the cloak off of his head, revealing a man with LONG BLONDE HAIR. This is DOMAR VIKA. DOMAR Why have you come to my planet? KRILLIK I'm looking for someone. DOMAR There's no one on this planet but me. Krillik lowers his gun and holsters it. KRILLIK Domar Vika? Domar is confused. DOMAR How do you know my name? KRILLIK I'm Krillik Alkar. I work for the APA. DOMAR I see. So Klar sent you here after me, huh? KRILLIK No. I came here by myself...for answers... DOMAR I stopped answering questions years ago. Domar turns and puts his hood back on. DOMAR But I can make an exception. Follow me. INT. DOMAR'S HUT The hut is filled with pictures from Domar's days in the APA. Domar throws his cloak on the chair, revealing the various SCARS and CUTS on his body. He sits down and looks to Krillik with a grin. DOMAR So why did you come here? KRILLIK I need answers. I need to know if the Alpha God exists. DOMAR Yes, he does. He does exist. However, there also exists another god. He's taken on various names in the past. The Devil, Satan, you name it. The Alpha God is no different. He was once the God that was worshiped in the bible of years past. But just like human beings, evolution took over and he was given a new name over the years. Satan evolved into Rymar just as God evolved into the Alpha God. KRILLIK So they've just changed the names of the Devil and God? DOMAR Correct. A beat. KRILLIK How do you know all of this? DOMAR I know because I must. There's no other explanation to give you. Even if I wanted to give you an explanation, I couldn't. I just know. I was born with this knowledge. KRILLIK So then there is a war coming? DOMAR Absolutely. The war between the Alpha God and Rymar is closing fast. In only three days-- Domar stops and looks outside, it is now the morning of the next day. He corrects himself. DOMAR (cont'd) --two days, the fate of the world will be at stake. KRILLIK Why? DOMAR If, by some chance, Rymar wins this battle, he will be unstoppable...no one will be able to stop him. The Alpha God's son is not only his son, he's his protector. Without his son, the Alpha God becomes weak. The Alpha God won't be able to, normal human beings such as myself and you won't be able to. The very existence of human life rests with the Alpha God. A beat. DOMAR Well, sort of... KRILLIK What do you mean? DOMAR Surely you've thought of a war between God and the Devil? Krillik nods. DOMAR How do you think a battle like that would be fought? A beat. DOMAR Their sons. KRILLIK Sons? DOMAR The son of the Alpha God and the son of Rymar will do the battle, not the gods themselves. A beat. KRILLIK And who are the sons? DOMAR Now that's something I do not know. If someone had all the answers, problems like this would cease to be. The only thing we can do from here is to wait...and hope... EXT. VARANA SIX - NIGHT We FADE TO a beautiful ESTABLISHING SHOT of Varana Six before FADING OUT. SCREEN CAPTION October 20th, 2028. Two Days Remain. FADE IN. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS, KLAR'S OFFICE Daras and Caila sit in Klar's office. KLAR You haven't seen him? DARAS Not since yesterday. KLAR What about Nayla? CAILA I suppose she could know. KLAR I want to know where he is. Him asking me about mutiny and then suddenly disappearing doesn't sit well with me. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Krillik looks at various of Domar's pictures as Domar loads all of his weapons with ammunition. Krillik takes note of a picture with Domar and an ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMAN. KRILLIK Who's this? DOMAR That's...my wife... A beat. DOMAR ...Aria... KRILLLIK She's beautiful. DOMAR Thank you. Domar lowers his head. DOMAR She...died. KRILLIK Oh...I...uh... Domar half smiles. DOMAR It's okay. A beat. DOMAR She was...the most...beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was always smiling...always happy and full of life. Her spirit...her hope...was never down. Six years ago, she was diagnosed with a rare virus. Domar's eyes begin to water up. DOMAR It just kept eating away at her...and at me. She fought for two straight years before she died. She died right in my arms. But she shouldn't have been taken. She shouldn't have been taken away. A tear streams down Domar's cheek. He quickly wipes it away as if not to let Krillik see that he's crying. DOMAR She was good...and gentle...and she never hurt anyone. Domar looks directly at Krillik. DOMAR If you have someone special, Krillik, don't let her go. It can happen in an instant...the snap of a finger. A pause is shared between them until Domar breaks it. DOMAR So...do you have someone special? A beat. KRILLIK Yes. Her name is-- INT. KRILLIK'S APARTMENT Krillik is interrupted by the sound of Daras screaming. DARAS --Nayla!! Daras is pointing his gun at Nayla. DARAS Where is he?! Answer me, god damnit!! Caila stands in the background, feeling somewhat bad about doing this to Nayla. DARAS Tell me where he is! Nayla doesn't respond. DARAS God damnit! Daras rises and looks to Caila. DARAS You can wait outside. CAILA What are you going to do? DARAS Just fucking go!! Caila looks to Nayla, then to Daras. He exits with a look of worry. EXT. INKAL LAKE, VARANA SIX - MORNING Krillik and Domar stand in front of the beautiful INKAL LAKE. Inkal Lake is a river of BRIGHT RED WATER. Krillik breaks the silence. KRILLIK Why is the river red? DOMAR I don't know. It's been red since I got here. I wondered that too. A beat. DOMAR What's your computer's name? KRILLIK What? DOMAR Your computer. Don't tell me the APA has stopped naming computers? A beat. KRILLIK Jenny. A slight pause. KRILLIK It's named after my daughter. She died during child birth. DOMAR I'm sorry. Krillik nods. DOMAR I always wanted to have children. It was something I wanted since I was a kid, but I realize now how hard it would've been for that child to deal with their mother's death. A beat. DOMAR It took a bit of damage back there, you should check it out. INT. KRILLIK'S SHIP, COCKPIT The cockpit opens and Krillik turns the power on. Jenny greets him. JENNY Hello, Krillik. KRILLIK Hi, Jenny. How's the ship? JENNY It's a little banged up, but it should be alright. Did you find the man you were searching for? KRILLIK Yes. JENNY Good. Can we go home now, Krillik? KRILLIK Soon, Jenny. Soon. INT. HALLWAY, OUTSIDE OF KRILLIK'S APARTMENT Caila stands outside for a moment until the door opens. Daras exits. DARAS Varana Six. He's looking for Domar Vika. Daras gives a glance back inside the apartment, then heads off. CAILA What did you do to her? DARAS What I had to. Caila looks inside the apartment and sees Nayla with various BRUISES on her face, as well as a BLOODIED NOSE. Caila smiles to her, and she smiles back. INT. KRILLIK'S SHIP, COCKPIT Krillik works on the ship as Jenny speaks. JENNY Krillik? KRILLIK Yes? JENNY Do you know who I like? KRILLIK Who? JENNY That woman...Nayla. Is she your girlfriend? KRILLIK She's my wife, Jenny. I'm glad you like her. JENNY I wish I had someone like that. Someone who loved me. KRILLIK You do, Jenny. I do. JENNY No, I mean someone like a boyfriend. A beat. KRILLIK I tell you what, Jenny, I'll be your boyfriend. Almost as if reacting to this, the ship lights up with a BRIGHT GREEN LIGHT. JENNY Really? You'd be my boyfriend? But isn't that wrong? KRILLIK No, Jenny, I'm a different kind of boyfriend. JENNY How? KRILLIK Me being husband to Nayla is different than being boyfriend to you. JENNY You mean it? KRILLIK Yes. JENNY I love you, Krillik. Krillik smiles. KRILLIK I love you too, Jenny. JENNY Wow. I've never heard someone say it back to me before. INT. APA HEADQUARTER'S, KLAR'S OFFICE Daras and Caila stand in front of Klar's desk. KLAR Varana Six? Klar becomes angered. KLAR He's looking for Domar. A beat. KLAR Kill them both. DARAS But they-- KLAR (interrupting) Just...do it. Daras and Caila begin to exit, but Klar stops them. KLAR Wait... They turn. KLAR Send Otaro instead. Daras and Caila look to eachother, then to Klar. EXT. INKAL LAKE, VARANA SIX - DAY Domar overlooks the lake as Krillik walks up to him. KRILLIK I wanna ask you something. Domar doesn't turn to face him. DOMAR Go ahead. A beat. KRILLIK Are you Rymar's son? DOMAR (turning around) What? KRILLIK You just seem to know a little too much unless you're heavily involved. DOMAR What are you talking about? Rymar is a vicious, brutal being who-- KRILLIK (interrupting) And how would you know all this unless you were somehow involved with him? A beat. DOMAR I don't appreciate being interrogated like this. KRILLIK It's not an interrogation...it's just a question. DOMAR And I have an answer. No. Domar walks off towards his hut. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS, KLAR'S OFFICE As Klar sits in his office, the door opens. Klar connects eyes with someone OFF-SCREEN. KLAR I figured you'd already be at Varana Six. The CAMERA shifts away and we get a CLOSE-UP on OTARO TAKESHI, a beautiful JAPANESE assassin. She is armed to the teeth with KNIVES attatched to her elbows, as well as THROWING KNIVES attatched to various HOLSTERS. She also has dual pistols on either side of her waist. OTARO (in Japanese subtitled) I wanted to make sure you were confident in this decision. KLAR You know I prefer your English over your Japanese. Otaro smiles and begins speaking in English. OTARO So you're sure? KLAR Absolutely. I don't care who they are. They die. OTARO It could be a foolish decision, you know? The last thing you want to do is upset the Alpha God by killing his child. KLAR It makes no difference to me. They'll just need some other way to fight their battles. Maybe they could fight the battle themselves instead of hiding behind their children. OTARO Agreed. So you're positive, then? KLAR Have I ever been wrong before? Otaro exits, but answers Klar's question on the way out. OTARO Yes. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Domar sits on his bed as Krillik enters. A slight pause is shared until Krillik breaks it. KRILLIK I'm...sorry about before. It's just that...all of this is so confusing. I mean, this shit is just crazy. DOMAR I know. It can really take it's toll on you. Domar rises. DOMAR Listen, just forget about before. It's done...it's in the past. A beat. DOMAR Have you ever heard the story of Tarax? KRILLIK No. DOMAR Tarax was an ancient god of the Taai civilization. The system this planet is in is named after him. Anyway, Tarax had many followers, but the one he truly cared about was named Oraa. Tarax and Oraa were joined together by a common bond, the deaths of their wives and children. Their friendship grew for ten years until something terrible happened. KRILLIK What? DOMAR Tarax was told that a traitor was among his ranks. He was also told that the traitor was someone he knew, someone he trusted. Despite many warnings, he wouldn't believe that Oraa was the one. It was only a matter of time before they were split apart...became mortal enemies. It finally came to a head when the battle between them erupted. It spread across many planets and worlds. A beat. KRILLIK Who won? DOMAR To be blunt; Oraa. He had brutally beaten Tarax to death in the heat of the battle. KRILLIK So...the bad guy won? DOMAR Not exactly. The real point of the story is that Oraa wasn't the traitor. In fact, there was no traitor. The only thing that split them apart was paranoia, not betrayal. A long pause is shared between them. Domar breaks it. DOMAR (standing up) Well, it's getting late, we should probably get some sleep. A beat. KRILLIK Domar... Domar turns to him. KRILLIK ...I want you to know that I hope we don't become like Oraa and Tarax. Domar smiles thinly. DOMAR I don't either. EXT. DOMAR'S HUT - NIGHT We STEADY on the hut and FADE OUT. SCREEN CAPTION October 23rd, 2028. One Day Remains. FADE IN. EXT. SPACE A SMALL WHITE CRUISER flies past the screen. INT. COCKPIT Otaro sits in the cockpit. We STEADY on her face before FADING to a shot of Nayla. There is a BRIGHT WHITE HUE surrounding the SCREEN. The camera SWINGS up her body to her face. The camera then SWINGS upward where we see a FULL SHOT of her. As she lays on seemingly thin air, a RIVER OF BLOOD begins to form around her. She begins to fall toward the river. She splashes into the river. The splash sends the blood upward into the screen as we SMASH CUT to Krillik rising up from sleeping in Domar's hut. KRILLIK NO!! He looks around as Domar wakes up as well. DOMAR What's wrong? Krillik is in shock, not sure what to make out of the dream. KRILLIK I...I saw Nayla... DOMAR Your wife? He nods. KRILLIK She...was falling towards a river...it was a river of blood. I... A beat. KRILLIK I have to go get her. DOMAR Now? KRILLIK Yes. I'll be back. And once I'm back... A beat. The stare they give each other is almost like silent communication. They give a nod, then Krillik exits. Domar watches him exit, then rises. He kneels down and extends his hand forward. A BRIGHT RED LIGHT begins to emit from it. Slowly, it forms into the shape of a MAN. This man is about 6'4 with LONG BROWN HAIR. He is RYMAR. Rymar looks to Domar, his son, with a grin. RYMAR Domar, my son, what is your progress? DOMAR We've hit a snag. He has gone. RYMAR Where? DOMAR For his wife. RYMAR Why has he done this? DOMAR To protect her. He thinks bringing her here would be safe. RYMAR The son of the Alpha God has taken a wife. DOMAR Speaking of which, I'm interested to know how it has been concealed from him so many years. RYMAR The Alpha God was intent on my destruction, but he knew that the responsibility would be too much even for the son of the Alpha God. Planting false memories is something we should all learn. A beat. RYMAR Krillik has no idea how powerful he is. The strength which is inside his body is phenomenal. I've always envied the Alpha God for that. DOMAR I am stronger though, right? RYMAR Of course. He is no match for you. DOMAR I want to kill him now. RYMAR It looks like someone has already taken your place. EXT. VARANA SIX - MORNING Krillik heads for his ship. As he nears it-- THWIP!!! Krillik hears this sound and jumps to attention. A KNIFE lands SWIFTLY inside the ground in front of him. He turns just as Otaro leaps out from seemingly out of nowhere and begins hurling knives at him. Krillik takes off as the knives stick in the dirt behind him. Krillik leaps forward and pulls out his handgun just as Otaro hurls a knife. He turns in mid-air and points the gun. BLAM!! The bullet flies forward and connects with the knife, veering it off course. Krillik lands and rolls into a crouched position. He points the weapon at her. Otaro walks forward while HURLING knives at Krillik. Krillik steps back while shooting, KNOCKING the knives away. Otaro finally sees her opening and flips forward. She lands directly behind him, but Krillik is ready and elbows her directly in the face. She stumbles back as Krillik turns and points his gun at her. CLICK!! Otaro spins and kicks the gun away and unsheathes a KNIFE. SLICE!! Otaro slices into his face. The BLOOD drips from Krillik's face and onto the ground as Otaro kicks him in the chest. Krillik lands on the ground as Otaro unholsters both pistols. She aims them both directly at him. OTARO I have no-- Krillik doesn't even let her finish. He kicks one gun away across the area as Otaro fires a shot from the other gun. It misses and Krillik kicks her away. Krillik grabs her wrist and kicks her in the stomach, knocking her back and forcing her to drop the gun on the ground. Krillik tries a punch, but Otaro grabs his hand and kicks him HARD in the stomach. Otaro swings, but Krillik ducks and UPPERCUTS her. She stumbles back as Krillik tries for a right hand. Otaro ducks and performs a STIFF KICK to Krillik's face. Otaro walks over and picks up one of her guns. She aims it at him. KRILLIK Who are you? OTARO I am Otaro Takeshi. I have been sent by the APA. KRILLIK What do you want? A beat. OTARO Your life. A simple request, don't you think? KRILLIK Why do they want to kill me? OTARO Because you are-- Domar finishes the sentace from OFF SCREEN. DOMAR (off-screen) --the son of the Alpha God. Krillik looks to Domar with confusion. KRILLIK What? DOMAR (to Otaro) Go ahead, tell him. Tell him about the Alpha God planting false memories in his own son. Otaro looks to Domar, then to Krillik. OTARO This is true. You are the son of the Alpha God. KRILLIK That's impossible. My father died when I was thirteen. OTARO Stop being so close-minded. You need to think outside of your own world for once. DOMAR The Alpha God was soley focused on one thing...my father's destruction. KRILLIK Your father? A beat. KRILLIK Rymar? Domar nods. KRILLIK You betrayed me! You said you weren't involved with him! DOMAR The battle between the son of the Alpha God and the son of Rymar is closing fast, but I see no reason to delay the progress...no reason to slow the evolution. OTARO No. I have strict orders to kill him. I must kill him. DOMAR (smiling) You? You have no idea how powerful he is. The abilites and powers that both of us have stored inside our bodies is monumental. Flight, strength... KRILLIK Flight? I can't fly? DOMAR You've just not explored it. In short, you and I are the living Superman of this century. We're a comic book come to life. Your primitive firearms and blades against either of us is a lopsided contest. A beat. OTARO Let's find out... Otaro hurls a knife out of nowhere. Domar raises his hand SWIFTLY and catches the knife by the BLADE. He holds the knife for a moment before grinning. DOMAR Nice try. Domar hurls it back quickly, the knife sticking in Otaro's throat. She stumbles back as the blood TRICKLES down her throat. She falls to her knees, then falls on her stomach, dead. Domar looks to Otaro's dead body, then to Krillik. KRILLIK You lied to me. You lied right to my face. DOMAR So what... KRILLIK You're a sonofabitch... DOMAR (smiling) Yes. I am. A beat. KRILLIK I have to check on Nayla. DOMAR I won't stop you, but you do know that tomorrow is the day, right? Tomorrow is October 24th, 2028. KRILLIK I'm not fighting you. DOMAR You'll change your mind. KRILLIK You probably made up everything. Your wife, your time in the APA. Hell, you probably made up that story about Tarax and Oraa. DOMAR No. I did have a wife, and she did die. I was in the APA. I infiltrated the orginization under direct orders from my father. And the Tarax and Oraa story is true. The only thing I actually lied about was who my father was. Krillik turns and heads for his ship. INT. COCKPIT Krillik enters the ship as Jenny speaks up. JENNY Where are we going, Krillik? KRILLIK Home. JENNY Is your friend coming? KRILLIK No. He's not my friend. JENNY Why? KRILLIK Because he's not who I thought he was. I thought he was my friend, but he's betrayed me. I have go home to see Nayla. A beat. KRILLIK I hope she's okay. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Domar speaks with Rymar. RYMAR It is hard to believe that the day is so close. It seems like it's been an eternity waiting. DOMAR I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow. RYMAR We all are, Domar. The Alpha God's days are numbered. Once you kill Krillik, no one will be able to protect him. And believe me, Rymar, you are going to win. My expectations of this battle, this...epic battle, are nothing short of spectacular. You will make me proud...right? DOMAR Absolutely. I have been preparing for this my whole life. I will not let you down. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS, KLAR RAM'S OFFICE Caila stands in Klar's office. CAILA He beat an innocent woman, Klar! I didn't think you would condone something like this. KLAR I don't, but the need to find Krillik was imperitive. I-- Suddenly, Daras bursts in. DARAS Otaro Takeshi is dead!! KLAR What? DARAS We got a signal from her saying she'd found Domar and Krillik, but when a team got there, they found nothing but Otaro's dead body. KLAR Damn. DARAS What should we do? Klar thinks for a moment, then rises from his chair. KLAR Get my ship ready, I'm going to Varana Six. CAILA Do you really think that's wise? KLAR No, but I don't have a choice. INT. KRILLIK'S APARTMENT Krillik enters with a look of worry. KRILLIK Nayla?! No response. KRILLIK Nayla?! Krillik kicks the door open to their bedroom and sees Nayla on their bed. She rises up from the bed and looks to Krillik. NAYLA Krillik! You're back! They embrace and share a passionate kiss. Krillik sees the bruises on her face and becomes worried. KRILLIK What happened? NAYLA It was Daras. KRILLIK What? NAYLA He came looking for you. He... KRILLIK Daras did this? She nods. Krillik becomes angered. KRILLIK Alright...so this is how it ends. This is how I finally take down the APA. A beat. NAYLA Did you find Domar Vika? KRILLIK Oh yeah, I found him. NAYLA What's wrong? KRILLIK I...it's a really long story, and I can't explain it right now. A beat. KRILLIK Nayla, I'm going to be gone for the rest of today and probably all of tomorrow, and unless I'm lucky, I may be gone forever. NAYLA Why? KRILLIK I can't explain it right now. I don't have enough time. I'm going to take you to your mother's, then I'm going to deal with something. NAYLA Deal with what? KRILLIK Our future...the future that I want us both to have. I'm going to take down the APA. NAYLA Why? KRILLIK Because of the hypocricy that they practice. I have to do it. EXT. VARANA SIX - DAY A SMALL SILVER CRUISER speeds into Varana Six. INT. COCKPIT Klar sits in the cockpit. He looks down towards Varana Six. KLAR (quietly, to himself) I know you're down there, Domar. EXT. VARANA SIX - DAY The cruiser heads for Varana Six. EXT. APA HEADQUARTERS - DAY Krillik steps into the FRAME and looks up at the APA Headquarters. He clenches his hand into a balled fist and walks forward. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS As the APA seems somewhat busy, Krillik enters. He overlooks the place as Caila spots him. Caila runs over to him. CAILA Krillik? What have you been doing? Krillik doesn't even answer Caila's question, he just asks his own. KRILLIK Did you know? CAILA Know what? Krillik grabs Caila in anger and slams him against the wall. He gets an obvious reaction from everyone, as they stop and look at the activity. KRILLIK You know what I'm talking about you bastard! Did you or did you not know I was the son of the Alpha God?! CAILA Well...yes...I knew... KRILLIK And why didn't you tell me? CAILA It was my job, Krillik. If I told you, I would have been fired. KRILLIK Why the hell did the APA hire me if they knew who I was? A beat. CAILA Insurance. KRILLIK What? Krillik lowers him down. CAILA They obviously knew the war was coming, so the only way to protect anyone is to make sure you have the right player on your team...for lack of a better phrase... Krillik backs away from Caila. KRILLIK Where's Daras? CAILA Daras? What do you want him for? KRILLIK If you saw what he did to Nayla, you'd want to kill him, too. CAILA Oh...right... KRILLIK What to you mean, "Oh...right."? CAILA Well, I didn't see him do it...but I saw the aftermath. A beat. KRILLIK I'm going after him. I want Daras. CAILA Come on, Krillik, don't do anything stupid. KRILLIK I don't have to worry about doing anything stupid anymore. Tomorrow, the fate of the world rests in my hands. If I fail, I at least know I got some retribution for Nayla. A beat. KRILLIK (sternly) Where is he? CAILA He's in Klar's office. KRILLIK Klar...that's someone else I wanted to see. CAILA He's gone. KRILLIK Where? CAILA Varana Six. He went looking for Domar. I think the-- Suddenly, a voice on the loud-speaker erupts. VOICE Attention! Attention! There is an unwanted subject in the APA headquarters. He is considered dangerous. Use any means neccecary. A beat. KRILLIK (to Caila) If I'm supposed to fight Domar, then why are they trying to kill me? CAILA They're stupid enough to think they can fight him themselves. KRILLIK Well, I'm not going down until I find Daras. I just need to know one thing. CAILA Sure. KRILLIK Are you with me? A beat. KRILLIK (sternly) Are you with me? A beat. CAILA Yes. I'm with you all the way. KRILLIK Good. From upstairs, a LARGE amount of SECURITY GUARDS begin to file in. These security guards are dressed in all BLACK uniforms. They all carry M4 RIFLES. KRILLIK (to Caila) Let's go. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS, SECURITY ROOM Daras watches the security cameras locked on Krillik. DARAS He wants a fight? I'll give him one. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Klar makes his way through the hut before hearing a VOICE behind him. VOICE (off-screen) If someone looks inside your-- Klar turns SWIFTLY and comes face to face with Domar. DOMAR (cont'd) --soul, chances are they'll find out just what kind of person you are. And, Klar, I have looked inside your soul. The only thing I see is a man who is delusional. I see a man who thinks he would have a shot at taking down the son of Rymar. The evolution of man and machine was always so vast in movies and tv shows. Did you ever notice that? You look at science fiction shows and movies, and they always have the humans in gigantic space ships, flying cars... A beat. DOMAR Do you really think that you'll ever evolve past what you are now? I hate to burst that bubble of yours...but you won't. I hate to be cynical, but I love to be right. Do you think that man will evolve past what you've created now? As of the year 2028, the evolution of man has stopped. There will be no more major advances in science. There won't be a cure for HIV, there won't be a cure for cancer...not even a cure for the common fucking cold. Get used to this, because this...is it. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS The security guards pile in and surround Krillik and Caila. All except one, who keeps a STEADY AIM on Krillik from the second floor above. In the tense silence, Krillik leaps up into the air and lands on the LARGE SECOND-FLOOR above him. He runs forward and kicks the security guard's gun upwards, knocking it high into the air. He grabs the guard and hurls him forward into a LARGE number of guards heading for him, knocking them down. In true action hero fashion, he grabs the gun just as it comes down and turns, SPRAYING BULLETS at the group of guards coming up behind him. They tumble to the ground in a POOL OF BLOOD as we SWIFTLY PAN down and see Caila. He is involved in a somewhat less flashy-firefight than Krillik. As he hides behind a PILLAR using one of the dropped guns one of the guards used, he rolls out and SPRAYS bullets, killing several guards. DOMAR (V.O.) Once I kill Krillik, once the day of-- INT. DOMAR'S HUT DOMAR (cont'd) --reckoning comes, this world, the world you call home, will be ours. It will no longer belong to you, it will belong to Rymar. A beat. KLAR What about the Alpha God? DOMAR What about him? KLAR Even if you kill Krillik, the Alpha God is sure to retaliate. DOMAR So what if he does? He wouldn't stand a chance against myself or my father once Krillik is dead. It's almost time, Klar. We are only one day away. But I can't take the chance of you ruining everything. INT. APA HEADQUARTERS Krillik and Caila come out into a split hallway, one hall leading left and one leading right. There's also a third hallway directly in front of them which leads to Klar Ram's office. From the hallways on the left and right of Krillik and Caila emerge a group of gurard's. Krillik and Caila look to each other, then nod. They turn in opposite directions and fire their rifles. CLICK!! CLICK!! They're both out of bullets. Krillik looks to Caila and points to the hallway in front of them. KRILLIK Go. Go find Daras. I'll deal with this. CAILA What do you want me to do when I find him? A beat. KRILLIK To be honest, I don't know... Caila runs down the hallway as Krillik glances down both hallways. The guards slowly make their way towards Krillik. As they near him, Krillik runs and front flips over the group of guards as the others let loose with their rifles. Krillik rises up quickly and runs down the hallway. INT. APA HEADQUARTER'S, KLAR RAM'S OFFICE As Daras sits in Klar's chair, Caila enters. DARAS So...you're helping Krillik? CAILA Yes. I'm not ashamed of it. DARAS Well, you should be. The fact that you would help someone like Krillik is unthinkable. Before, you were dead set on taking him down. Now, you help him? CAILA I don't need an exuse. You can't take him down anyway. Don't you get it? He's the son of the Alpha God. There's no possible way to take him down. DARAS We'll see about that. INT. TRAINING ROOM This training room was used to train APA soldiers. Krillik enters the room and looks around as he hears the guard's coming down the hallway for him. Krillik stocks up, attatching a RIFLE to the strap on his left knee, PISTOLS holstered on his belt, UZI'S and a SWORD on his back. CAILA (V.O.) He's beginning to realize-- INT. APA HEADQUARTER'S, KLAR RAM'S OFFICE CAILA (cont'd) --just how powerful he is. He won't be able to be stopped. You can throw all the security guard's you want at him. The only blood that will be spilled is theirs. I have no doubt that's happening right now. INT. TRAINING ROOM BOOM!!! The door is blasted open from a GRENADE LAUNCHER. As the guards, 25 of them to be exact, pile in, Krillik just stands there. As they all point their rifles at Krillik, an epic score begins to build, a heart-wrenching chorus behind it. As the tense silence ensues, a slight grin appears on Krillik's face. He suddenly back flips into the air while spraying bullets from his dual Uzi's. The guards take cover, but four are taken down. Krillik lands and slowly walks forward while shooting, taking down five guards in the process. CLICK!! The Uzi's are empty. Krillik takes off and unholsters his pistols. The guards let loose as Krillik does a beautiful handspring into a backflip. Once on his feet, Krillik front flips over the guards. He turns and fires, killing six guards. Krillik then performs a spinning back kick into the face of a guard. He then turns and fires two bullets into his chest to kill him. CLICK!! One gun is empty. He hurls it away and drops to his knees, shooting what little bullets are left in the gun to take down four guards. Suddenly, one of the five remaining guards loads the grenade launcher on his rifle. Krillik throws his pistol away and unstraps his rifle. Krillik fires just at the same time the guard fires his grenade. The guard falls to the ground as Krillik thinks on his feet and spins, kicking the grenade back at the four remaining guards. BOOM!!! The grenade explodes, killing the four guards. In the silence, Krillik overlooks all of the dead guards in the room. The blood splattered everywhere, the guns scattered across the floor, the bullet shells on the floor. He picks up one of the dropped rifles and runs off. INT. APA HEADQUARTER'S, KLAR RAM'S OFFICE Krillik busts in and sees Caila on the ground. Caila is bleeding badly. He looks at Daras, who has a smile on his face. DARAS I was wondering when you'd get here. I guess Caila was right, there's no stopping you. But killing me seems pointless, wouldn't you say? I mean, you're real enemy is Rymar. He's really the only man who can destroy you. You are exact opposites. You have to be together...in life and death... A beat. DARAS The choice is yours, but I warn you that-- RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!!!! The bullets rip through Daras' body as he stumbles back and falls to the ground, dead. As Daras lays there dead, Krillik walks over and kneels down to Caila. CAILA (weak) I wanted to help you, I wanted to be with you all the way. KRILLIK You were. We took the fight all the way to Daras, and won. We won. CAILA You won. I didn't do anything. You pulled the trigger, not me. A beat. CAILA Good luck...against Rymar. But I don't think you'll need it. KRILLIK Thanks, Caila. CAILA Krillik, I just want you to know that I've always thought of you as a brother. I've always looked at you as a member of my second family. KRILLIK Me too, Caila. Me too. CAILA Goodbye...Krillik... Caila slowly closes his eyes, then dies. Krillik looks to Daras, then to Caila. He rises and exits the room. EXT. DOMAR'S HUT - MID-DAY The door leading into the hut is knocked open as Klar is thrown out. He rolls across the ground as Domar exits and slowly walks toward him. DOMAR Tomorrow, Krillik and I will engage in our battle. It's a shame you won't be around long enough to see it. Klar rises and runs at Domar. To Domar's surprise, Klar is actually able to take him down. The tumble across the ground until Domar kicks him off. They rise at the same time, but Klar is met with a vicious right hand to the face. He stumbles back as Domar walks towards him and kicks him in the stomach. DOMAR It will be nothing like this. The battle will be epic, gigantic... Domar turns and trips Klar with a leg-sweep. DOMAR It will dwarf anything mankind has ever faced. It will make World War II look like a picnic. It will make Vietnam look like a day in the park. It will make the War Of Taai look like a-- Klar has had enough and jumps up. He grabs Domar. KLAR Shut up!! Klar knees him in the gut and punches him in the face. As Klar goes for another punch, Domar grabs his arm and spins, locking it into a sort of submission move. CRACK!! Domar shatters Klar's arm. Klar screams in agony and stumbles back, grabbing his broken arm. As Klar lays here, an erie chrous begins to play in the background. There's no music behind it, just a chorus singing. We FADE TO-- Domar viciously beating Klar in the face. The chorus plays over these bloody and savage images. In SLOW-MOTION, Klar falls to the ground, his face a CRIMSON RED. The chorus continues as Domar speaks. DOMAR The time of Rymar has arrived. Once Krillik is defeated, we will take the Alpha God down ourselves. He will be powerless. It's only a matter of time. The era of Rymar is closing fast. INT. KRILLIK'S SHIP, COCKPIT Krillik sits in the ship as Jenny speaks to him. JENNY What's wrong, Krillik? You look sad. KRILLIK I am sad. JENNY Why? KRILLIK Someone I cared about is dead. A beat. JENNY Why do people die, Krillik? KRILLIK It's just something that happens. There's not a real explanation why. JENNY I wish people didn't have to die, Krillik. When will I die, Krillik? KRILLIK Never. JENNY Why? KRILLIK You're a computer, Jenny. You won't die. When I'm long dead, you'll probably be a computer to someone else. JENNY But I don't want you to die, Krillik! KRILLIK I can't help it, Jenny. By tomorrow, I might be dead. JENNY Why? KRILLIK Tomorrow is when I come face to face with my own mortality. That's something you'll never have to do, Jenny. It's something that you won't ever have to deal with. JENNY Please don't die, Krillik. Please... The ship begins to glow a BRIGHT BLUE, signaling sadness. KRILLIK Jenny, I'll be back tomorrow. I won't die. JENNY Promise? A beat. KRILLIK Promise. JENNY I love you, Krillik. KRILLIK I love you too, Jenny. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Domar speaks with his father, Rymar. DOMAR Father, Klar Ram is dead. I've killed him. RYMAR Very good. A beat. DOMAR What do you see in the future? RYMAR I see death...I see chaos. I see Krillik laying on the ground, you standing over him. I see your battle being very similar to the battle of Tarax and Oraa. A battle that spreads across many worlds. A battle that is do or die. The end result will determine who will own Earth, who will rule it. DOMAR That will be me. RYMAR I hope so. INT. KRILLIK'S APARTMENT Krillik enters and leans against the door. He slides down onto the floor, now sitting against the door. A tear streams down his cheek. As he sits here, he hears a voice. VOICE Krillik... Krillik looks around, but sees nothing. VOICE Krillik... Krillik can find no source of the voice. He rises up and walks through the house. VOICE Krillik... KRILLIK Who are you? VOICE I am you're father... In front of Krillik appears the image of the ALPHA GOD. He is about 6'1 with LONG WHITE HAIR. KRILLIK Father? ALPHA It's been so long since I've seen you...so many years. KRILLIK Why? Why plant false memories? I could've handled it. ALPHA I'm afraid not, Krillik. The responsibility, the mere thought, of being the son of a god is powerful. Any son of a god, whether it's me or not, has a huge responsibility. Every god will have enemies, and mine is Rymar. A beat. KRILLIK What happened? ALPHA Rymar used to be my friend. He used to be a person I trusted, a person I would tell all of my problems to. He would always be there to help me. But over the years, he grew arrogant. He became cocky and smug. But that wasn't how we grew to hate each other, it was his betrayal. KRILLIK Betrayal? ALPHA Yes. You see, the original thought of God was that he lived in the sky and watched over all that he created. This was true, I do watch from the sky. And the original thought of Satan was that he controlled Hell, the underworld below the Earth. This is also true. Rymar controls Hell. Over the years, it became evident that Rymar was arrogant as well as a traitor. He created Hell without my permission and sided against me. A beat. ALPHA We became mortal enemies and were split to our own places of rule. I controlled Heaven, or Alpha as it's called now, and he controlled Hell. The years passed and we both married and had children. I had you, and he had Domar. History is repeating itself. Rymar and I were split, just as you and Domar are now. KRILLIK Mortal enemies...like Tarax and Oraa. ALPHA Very similar to Tarax and Oraa. A beat. ALPHA Krillik, you must win. You must win this battle. If you don't, Earth, the human race, everything will be destroyed. If Rymar and Domar are able to freely roam, the proverbial apocalypse will come to pass. KRILLIK But why can't you stop them? ALPHA Rymar and I have grown weak over the years. Even if we wanted to, we couldn't do the battle ourselves. Our weak and fragile bodies would break before the first shot was thrown. A beat. ALPHA Krillik, once you defeat Domar, it will all be yours. Alpha...or Heaven or whatever you wish to call it, will be yours to rule and do with what you wish. If, however, you wish not to rule from up here, it would be possible for you to rule from-- KRILLIK Rule? I don't want to rule. I'm not a ruler. ALPHA It's your destiny, Krillik. As my son, you're destiny is to take my place. KRILLIK What if I don't want to follow it? A beat. ALPHA The last thing I want to do is control you, so I'll let you make the decision. If...no, when you win, I'll give you a choice. You can come up here, and rule... KRILLIK And Nayla? ALPHA Nayla, too. Or, you can go back to believing...whatever you want to believe. You can go back to your life as Krillik Alkar, son of Morka Alkar. Or you can become the successor to the Alpha God...your father. A beat. ALPHA The choice is yours, and I won't love you any less if you choose to not rule. KRILLIK I don't know...I don't know what I should do. ALPHA You have plenty of time to decide, Krillik. You must not show fear when you come face to face with Domar. Do not show fear. KRILLIK Don't worry, I fear nothing. ALPHA Everyone fears something. A beat. KRILLIK Well, I do have something I fear. ALPHA What's that? KRILLIK A dream I had. I had a dream that Nayla was falling... ALPHA Falling where? KRILLIK She...she was falling, and rose pedals were all around her. Then she fell into a river of blood...and then I...I woke up... ALPHA It is possible that you have been given the power of future. KRILLIK Power of future? ALPHA Just as the name implies, the power to see into the future. KRILLIK Are you telling me I'm seeing Nayla die? ALPHA It's possible. A beat. KRILLIK Domar said I could fly. Is that true? ALPHA Yes. Domar was absolutely honest on that. You can fly. KRILLIK He said we were like Superman...a living comic book. ALPHA Yes...to a certain point, you are. You have flight, strength and speed. Alpha grins slightly. ALPHA The only thing missing is heat vision and x-ray vision. KRILLIK This isn't funny, Alpha. ALPHA Please, Krillik...call me...dad. Krillik sighs. KRILLIK Fine. This isn't funny...dad... A beat. ALPHA That...sounds nice. A beat. ALPHA Well, the-- Krillik puts his hands up, signaling for Alpha to stop speaking. KRILLIK Wait. We hear a FAINT sound of HELICOPTER BLADES. It begins to get louder. KRILLIK Do you hear that? ALPHA APA helicopters. They're coming for you. KRILLIK Why? ALPHA I'll simply rely on what Caila said...they think they have a shot at taking Domar down themselves. They don't think they need you. A MAN'S VOICE erupts from a bullhorn from the helicopter. MAN (off-screen, on bullhorn) Krillik Alkar!! Exit the building and surrender now!! Krillik and Alpha give each other a stare, then Krillik takes off. MAN This is your one and only warning!! INT. HELICOPTER The man operating the bullhorn turns to the pilot. MAN Forget it, the people in this building are expendable. I want him taken down! INT. APARTMENT BUILDING, HALLWAY Krillik runs down the hallway. RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!!!! Bullets tear through the hallway, barely missing Krillik. The bullets chase Krillik down the hallway, SHATTERING the cement walls. EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING, ROOF - MID-DAY The rain pours down as Krillik makes his way onto the roof and spots the helicopter. As the rain drenches Krillik, the gunner aims the mounted machine gun at him. Krillik takes off down the roof for the helicopter. The gunner lets loose, spraying bullets at Krillik. Krillik rolls to avoid them. In SLOW-MOTION, Krillik leaps off the roof and towards the helicopter. There's no music behind the jump, it's just the ambient noise of rain, wind and the helicopter blades. CRING!!! Krillik lands and grabs onto the tail of the helicopter. The helicopter spins out of control, but Krillik is able to hang on. The helicopter spins around out of control for about ten seconds until Krillik notices that it is going to crash into the apartment building. BOOM!!! The helicopter smashes into the building just as Krillik leaps off. As Krillik falls to certain doom, he suddenly stops himself. To his delight, Krillik is floating. He zips around the sky with a big smile on his face. KRILLIK (to himself) So it's true...I can fly. EXT. VARANA SIX - MID-DAY Almost as if they can feel what the other is thinking, Domar is flying through Varana Six. He floats down to his hut and walks in. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Domar enters and kneels down, the image of Rymar appearing in front of him. RYMAR Krillik has discovered flight. The final piece is in place. The only thing we need to do now is wait. DOMAR Father, I have an idea. It's something that will give me power over Krillik. RYMAR You already have power over him. DOMAR Yes...but this would easily make him vulnerable. It's not an attack on his physical being, it's an attack on his heart. EXT. NEW YORK STREETS - MID-DAY Krillik walks down the streets, the rain still pouring. As he walks, there is a FLASH of LIGHT. SMASH CUT TO: Silent footage. Black and white. We see Krillik and Domar trading blows, then CUT TO: Krillik and Domar have ahold of each other's shirts. They fly through the air while still holding each other, trading punches. Domar hurls Krillik away into a building. FADE OUT. FADE IN. We come back to Krillik. He steps back and remembers what Alpha said. ALPHA (V.O.) It is possible that you have been given the power of future. Just as the name implies, the power to see into the future. He looks up and sees the exact building that Domar threw him into in the vision. INT. KRILLIK'S SHIP, COCKPIT Krillik enters the ship and presses a few buttons, causing Jenny to awake from her down time. KRILLIK Hi, Jenny. JENNY Hi, Krillik. Jenny takes note of Krillik's silence. JENNY What's wrong? KRILLIK I've gotta tell you something, Jenny. JENNY What? A beat. KRILLIK I have to do something tomorrow. JENNY Do what? KRILLIK I have to do something that could split us. It's something that...well, we might not see each other again if I don't do it right. JENNY But... KRILLIK I can't help it. If I run away from this now, it will only cause more problems. JENNY But I don't want you to go away. The ship begins to glow blue again. KRILLIK Remember what I told you earlier, Jenny? Do you remember? JENNY Yes. I remember. KRILLIK I have to come face to face with someone who wants me dead. JENNY Who would want you do die? KRILLIK Someone who hates me. It's someone who would love nothing more for me to die. JENNY What am I gonna do without you, Krillik? KRILLIK I'll be coming back, Jenny. But just in case I don't, I want you to take good care of Nayla. Okay? JENNY Okay. EXT. NEW YORK STREETS - NIGHT Krillik sits on a street corner, the rain drenching him. KRILLIK (to himself) He'll die. I will kill him. As Krillik sits here, a STUTTERING OLD WOMAN comes walking up to him. OLD WOMAN She was covered in blood, the doves behind her. The blood ran down her body, her face a crimson red. Krillik looks at her with confusion. She is speaking quotes from the Alpha Bible. OLD WOMAN She grabbed her lovers hand as she knew she was going to die. The kiss they shared was the last. Her body went limp, and she was dead. The old woman has a crooked smile, with many teeth missing, and the ones that aren't missing are in terrible shape. A pause is shared between them until the old woman walks off. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Nayla sits in the hut, tied up. NAYLA Let me go!! Domar is somewhat annoyed with her as he prepares himself for the battle. He places his BRIGHT RED METAL GLOVES on. NAYLA LET ME GO!!! DOMAR Shut up!! Domar turns and backhands Nayla. Domar looks at her with anger for a moment, then exits. INT. APARTMENT BUILDING Krillik enters and walks through the destroyed building. Pieces of the helicopter ROTOR lay on the floor, as well as the DOORS and SHATTERED GLASS. Krillik walks up to the owner. KRILLIK I'm sorry. OWNER It wasn't your fault. Krillik sighs, knowing that it was his fault. OWNER Maybe it's just as well. KRILLIK Why do you say that? OWNER I've been wanting to sell this building to somebody else. A beat. OWNER Well, it really doesn't matter now. Who's gonna buy it now? I still wonder what the hell happened. I was just sitting down here, and all of a sudden, I hear the helicopter from outside. Then they... He then remembers what the man in the helicopter shouted...Krillik Alkar. OWNER Wait...he said your name. He wanted you. KRILLIK The APA was coming after me. OWNER But why? Don't you have faith in the Alpha God? KRILLIK I used to think he didn't exist, but now I'm sure of it. OWNER How? KRILLIK You wouldn't believe me if I told you. A beat. KRILLIK What time is it? The owner glances at his watch. OWNER 11:58. KRILLIK It's almost time. OWNER Time for what? KRILLIK Something I have to do. Can I stay here tonight? OWNER I'm not sure about letting someone stay here who almost destroyed my building. KRILLIK Why? You said you were gonna sell it anyway. Let it be someone else's problem. I need to rest up for tomorrow. A beat. OWNER Alright. Go ahead. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Domar enters the hut and picks up one of Otaro Takeshi's knives. He brings it close to his arm and LIGHTLY cuts into it. BLOOD drips down from the cut. He turns to Nayla. NAYLA What do you want?! DOMAR I just want Krillik. NAYLA Why do you want Krillik? DOMAR Don't tell me he hasn't told you yet? NAYLA What? DOMAR Sit back and I'll tell you what your husband must have been too afraid to tell you. FADE OUT. SCREEN CAPTION October 24th, 2028. FADE IN. INT. KRILLIK'S APARTMENT Krillik lays in his bed. SCREEN CAPTION 7:18 AM. As he lays here, the same HOLOGRAPHIC image of the Alpha God from earlier appears. ALPHA Krillik... Krillik opens his eyes and turns. ALPHA Did you get any sleep? KRILLIK No. A beat. ALPHA It's time, Krillik. Domar is waiting. KRILLIK I'm afraid. I know I said I fear nothing, but that was a lie. I... A tear streams down his cheek. KRILLIK I'm...I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what will happen. ALPHA Don't be, Krillik. I will be watching...I will guide you... INT. KRILLIK'S SHIP, COCKPIT Krillik enters and turns the ship on. JENNY Hi, Krillik. KRILLIK It's time, Jenny. The thing we talked about is getting ready to happen. JENNY Please...be careful, Krillik. KRILLIK I will, Jenny. The ship takes off. INT. DOMAR'S HUT Domar kicks the door open and drags Nayla kicking and screaming out of the hut. NAYLA Let me go!! Stop it!! EXT. VARANA SIX - MORNING Krillik's ship makes it's way towards Varana Six. EXT. INKAL LAKE - MORNING Domar drags her towards the lake and BURIES her FACE into it, trying to drown her. Domar laughs as she tries to get away, but Domar simply overpowers her. KRILLIK (off-screen) DOMAR!!!! He turns just as Krillik comes flying in and punches Domar, knocking him back a good distance. Krillik pulls Nayla out, spitting up the water. KRILLIK Are you alright? NAYLA (coughing) I'm fine. KRILLIK I'm sorry, Nayla. I'm sorry I let him hurt you. NAYLA I knew you would come. A beat. NAYLA He told me...about...you know... KRILLIK I was going to tell you after this. The-- Suddenly, Domar flies in and grabs Krillik. They fly through the air, grabbing each other. They trade punches until Domar leans back and delivers a HARD headbutt to Krillik. Domar then flies back to Nayla, grabbing her. He takes her up high into the air above the RED lake. Krillik floats up and connects eyes with Domar. KRILLIK Let her go, Domar! She doesn't have anything to do with this. DOMAR She's got everything to do with it. Maybe she's not directly involved, but she's the one thing you care about the most. She's nothing more than a weapon I can use to keep you at bay. KRILLIK Why are you using her? This is between us, Domar. This is between you and me. We need to settle it... A beat. KRILLIK ...now... DOMAR Perhaps your right. Maybe she doesn't matter. And if she doesn't matter, there's no reason I can't just...let go. KRILLIK No! Domar drops her towards Inkal Lake. As she nears it, we CUT to a SHOT directly ABOVE Nayla. Krillik zips ahead to try and grab her, but he's too late. Nayla splahes into the water, sending a group of DOVES flying behind the IMAGE of the river. Krillik dive-bombs into the river and grabs Nayla. As Domar watches, Krillik comes bursting out of the water and sets her down. As Nayla is soaked in the red water, Krillik wipes her face. They both rise. BANG!!! Nayla stumbles forward, a BULLET piercing through her body. She falls OUT OF FRAME, revealing Domar pointing one of Otaro Takeshi's guns. Krillik grabs her before she hits the ground. Domar hurls the gun away. Krillik looks directly in Nayla's eyes. NAYLA (weak) She was covered in blood, the doves behind her. The blood ran down her body, her face a crimson red. Nayla grabs Krillik's hand, holding it in her own. NAYLA (weak) She grabbed her lovers hand as she knew she was going to die. Krillik leans forward and shares a passionate kiss with Nayla. NAYLA (weak) The kiss they shared was the last. Her body... Nayla doesn't finish it, she simply closes her eyes and dies. KRILLIK ...went limp...and she was dead. A tear streams down Krillik's cheek. He gently lays her down and rises, connecting eyes with Domar. DOMAR Don't blame me, blame the Alpha Bible. Perhaps now you'll take what the Alpha Bible says more seriously. It's a book of prophecies. It said the son of the Alpha God's wife would be killed by his most hated enemy. A beat. KRILLIK It also says that the son of the Alpha God kills his most hated enemy. Domar half smiles. DOMAR That's the part of the book I always hated. I say we change that. Domar glances over at Inkal Lake, then back to Krillik. DOMAR You know, I did lie about Inkal Lake. It wasn't like this when I got here. Do you remember what the Alpha Bible said about a river of blood? A beat. KRILLIK A river of blood formed over night, only to be explained when the two warriors crossed paths. DOMAR Exactly. It did form over night. When I got to Varana Six, it was just a big whole in the ground. When the APA came looking for me, it's no surprise that I simply destroyed them. KRILLIK What are you saying? DOMAR Yes. Inkal Lake is nothing more than the blood of APA soldiers. A beat. KRILLIK Inkal...the Taai word for blood. Blood Lake. DOMAR Blood Lake...where the son of the Alpha God's nemesis is supposed to be taken after his defeat. However, once the battle is finished, the only person at the bottom of Inkal Lake will be you. I'm partial to calling Blood Lake though. A beat. DOMAR So...what have you been seeing? KRILLIK What are you talking about? DOMAR I know you've been given the power of future. That's something I seemed to have been left out on. Krillik becomes angered. KRILLIK We've been been fucking around with this for three days now. This is it, there's no bullshitting anymore. It's time that one of us shows just who we are. It's time that we both just stop this shit and do it. DOMAR Well, aren't we impatient? KRILLIK I've been thinking over the past three days that if I lose, there's no way I'm going down by myself. If you beat me, your ass is going with me. DOMAR I applaud your-- Suddenly, Krillik sprints off towards Domar. Domar is ready and zips into the air. He takes off across Varana Six. Krillik follows. EXT. VARANA SIX SKYLINE - MORNING Domar flies through the sky, Krillik close behind him. As they make their way through the sky, Domar puts on the breaks and turns. Krillik isn't phased and simply crashes into him. They trade punches back and forth. Krillik rears back and delivers a hard punch, knocking Domar loose. He stops himself in mid-air and zips towads Krillik. Krillik ducks his punch and delivers his own, knocking Domar into the air and back down again. Domar falls to the ground and Krillik gives chase. As Krillik chases him, he realizes that Domar is playing possum. Domar turns back up and flies at Krillik full steam. Domar lays into Krillik with a hard shot. Krillik flies back into the air. Krillik falls to the ground and lands with a hard THUD. As he rises, he looks up and sees Domar heading straight for him. Krillik thinks quickly and back flips, avoiding Domar. BOOM!! Domar misses Krillik and all of the force behind his attack is wasted on the ground. Domar rises up from the CRATER he formed in the ground. As they stare each other down, Domar suddenly zips up into the air. Krillik looks up and sees that Domar has practically disappeared. In this silence, Krillik realizes where he's going. KRILLIK He's heading for Earth. He wants to finish it there. EXT. NEW YORK SKYLINE - MORNING As Domar stands on a building rooftop, we hear Krillik. KRILLIK (off-screen) Domar!! Domar turns as Krillik floats down and lands on the roof. KRILLIK Why here? Why finish it here? DOMAR It's perfect. Varana Six is much too bare and boring for a battle of this size. With a battleground this big, you open up so many possibilities. A beat. DOMAR You know, I've just been reminded of my tenth birthday. Most children ask their parents for footballs or toy trains. What did I ask for? A planet. Ever since I was nine years old, I always wanted a planet of my own to rule. Once I beat you, that long overdue wish will finally come true. This is the finale...the climax. Are you ready? After a moment of silence, Domar takes to the air. Krillik flies up and collides with him. They fly through the sky, trading HARD right hands. In this struggle, Domar unleashes a powerful knee to the gut, then simply hurls Krillik away. Krillik flies through the air before smashing into a large building. As Domar stares at the large hole in the building, Krillik comes speeding out like a bullet and crashes into him. The fly through the air and crash into a building. The smash through all the way to the other side of the building and plummet to the ground. They land with a hard CRASH. The impact of their crash causes a large TREMOR. For added bonus, the camera shakes and moves as if being effected by their crash. They rise and run at each other. Krillik blocks the right hand and delivers his own, knocking Domar back. Domar flies through the air and lands on the front end of a car, flipping it up into the air. The car lands on the ground. Showing no respect for the safety of the driver, Domar picks the car up and hurls it directly at Krillik. Krillik flies forward and catches the car, letting it down gently. As he looks up, Domar comes speeding at him. Krillik returns the favor. BOOM!!! The collide like two freight trains. Both of them fly back and land on the ground. They slowly rise to their feet. DOMAR You see what I mean? A city this big is the perfect compliment to our final battle. Only here will it be decided...only here... Krillik runs forward and punches, but Domar ducks. Domar swings and misses as well. Both of them rear back, putting every bit of strength they can into their punches. Their fists meet each other's faces at the same time, knocking both of them back. Krillik rises and sees Domar flying towards him. Krillik zips up into the air and crashes into him. They fly through the air, trading punches. Krillik hurls Domar away. Domar stops himself in mid-air and zips forward, crashing into the back of Krillik. Krillik turns and delivers a hard shot to Domar's face. Domar flies back through the air and onto the street. He rises as Krillik floats down. DOMAR I've grown tired of this place. I want a new location. Domar flies into the air, then smirks. DOMAR I just realized how childish that sounded, asking for a new place to fight. Domar smiles then zips up into the air. EXT. CONSTRUCTION YARD - AFTERNOON Krillik flies in and lands. He looks around, searching for Domar. KRILLIK Domar!! He hears a RUSTLE and turns quickly, seeing Domar. KRILLIK This is it, Domar. No more running. DOMAR Who's running? I'm not running. I'm simply trying to keep the battle from getting stale. Fighting in the same place is far too boring. Why do you think we've moved from Varana Six to the streets of New York to here? But this isn't the end. I have a special place in mind for the end. It's perfect. KRILLIK Where? DOMAR It's a secret. If I told you, it wouldn't be so interesting would it? Domar runs forward and grabs Krillik, kneeing him in the gut. He spins and hurls Krillik across the yard. Krillik smashes into a pile of working materials. As Domar runs for the pile, Krillik bursts out with a STEEL PIPE and whacks Domar, knocking him backwards. Krillik runs forward and, in SLOW- MOTION, collides with Domar. They grab each others shirts, punching each other. The epic score builds as Krillik grabs ahold of Domar's belt and hurls him away. We resume FULL-SPEED as Domar crashes into a pile of materials. Mere seconds later, Domar flies out from it, screaming. DOMAR Pathetic!!! Domar zips down and, once again in SLOW-MOTION, collides with Krillik. They trade punches until Domar slams Krillik into a SUPPORT BEAM holding up the unfinished building. The beam simply CRUMBLES and the buidling becomes unstable. As it teeters upon destruction, Krillik takes ahold of Domar and returns the favor, slamming him into the other SUPPORT BEAM. The unfinished building simply collapses under it's own weight, burying Domar and Krillik. In the tense silence, a HAND begins to SLOWLY protrude from the RUBBLE. We know that this is Domar's hand by the RED METAL GLOVE he put on earlier. Domar pulls himself from the wreckage and stumbles to the ground. He overlooks the destruction and seems shocked. DOMAR (surprised) I did it. I beat him. I actually beat him. I actually beat-- Suddenly, Krillik bursts up through the rubble and floats high above him. His TATTERED CLOTHES and SCARRED, BLOODIED body make him look like a true warrior as he stares at Domar. Domar is also war-torn, with several SCARS and CUTS among his body. DOMAR I should have known. I should have known it was too good to be true. Domar rises and walks across the rubble. DOMAR I've not been disappointed by the battle as of yet. It has already rivaled the battle of Tarax and Oraa. KRILLIK How would you know? DOMAR Well, I've only read about that particular battle, but this one has simply dwarfed that by it's sheer scope alone. We're creating history here, Krillik. The Holy War between God and The Devil, or Alpha God and Rymar, has finally come to fruition. Two things will happen from this. A beat. DOMAR The first thing is the proverbial apocalypse...the end of mankind. The coming of Rymar signals the end of the world...doomsday. The second is peace. If good triumphs over evil, which so many people are stupid enough to believe always happens, the world will be at peace. No more war...no more disease. A beat. DOMAR I've heard you're undecided about whether or not you want to rule this place...to take your father's place. Just think about what would happen if you didn't. If you didn't, the same horrors humans face today would continue. Cancer, HIV...they would all continue. But you, you could stop them. You are truly a miracle, Krillik. You would save people from darkness and their own personal horrors. KRILLIK What are you doing? Why are you trying to convinve me to rule? DOMAR I'm not convinving you, I'm just telling you what you won't be able to do. None of that will happen, Krillik. You won't be able to save anyone. You'll be laying dead at my feet before you can do any of that. Domar suddenly flies up and crashes into Krillik. They fly upwards and out of the construction yard. EXT. NEW YORK SKYLINE - AFTERNOON They continue upwards, through the CLOUDS. After a moment of silence, they come faling through. As they nosedive towards the ground, Krillik delivers three solid right hands to Domar. They seperate and float in front of each other, then fly forward. Domar ducks Krillik's punch and delivers his own. Krillik returns the favor. They trade right hands until Domar ducks and rears back, putting a great amount of strength behind it. BOOM!! The CAMERA, as well as the area surrounding them, SHAKES and RUMBLES upon it's impact as Krillik flies backwards a tremendous distance. EXT. NEW YORK STREETS - AFTERNOON Krillik lands with a THUNDEROUS thud, causing a SMALL CRATER in the ground. Domar floats down towards him with a somewhat confused look. He looks Krillik directly in the eyes as he stands up. DOMAR Are you holding back? KRILLIK No. DOMAR Good. Because I-- Suddenly, Krillik runs forward and grabs Domar. They collide as Krillik headbutts Domar. Domar stumbles back, dazed by it. Krillik steps back and flies up and executes a complete loop, coming full-circle with Domar. With a loud and epic war cry, Krillik lays into Domar with a devastating right hand. Domar flies back and slams into a building, causing a LARGE hole in it. As Krillik looks up at the hole, the RUBBLE falls away and Domar comes tumbling out. He lands on the ground with a THUD. Krillik walks over to him and picks him up by his shirt. He holds him up into the air and rears his arm back. Krillik throws his arm forward with a tremendous amount of velocity. As Krillik's hand nears his face, Domar's hand rises up, grabbing his fist. Domar lowers himself and tries for a left hand. But Krillik simply grabs his fist with his free hand. They stare each other directly in the face in the struggle, protecting themselves from what would surely be a tremendous shot. They push into each other, sweat dripping from their faces, their bodies weak from the battle. The score builds in the background, an epic chorus behind it. They finally break it and grab each other by the shirt. We enter SLOW-MOTION as they spin around, Krillik slamming Domar into a building. Domar pushes him away and returns the favor, slamming Krillik into the same building. Krillik pushes out and spins, taking Domar across the street and slamming him directly into the building. They trade off doing this for a moment before Domar slams Krillik so hard, he slumps to the ground. Domar stumbles to the ground. Both of them lay here, entirely spent of energy. After a few moments, they slowly rise to their feet. They stare each other down as Domar begins to quote the Alpha Bible. DOMAR The warriors had come to the apex. They'd come to the conlcusion. Both of them spent... Krillik continues it. KRILLIK ...both of them bloodied. They take off for each other, screaming. They collide, causing a LARGE RUMBLE. They stumble back until Krillik nails a right hand. Domar returns the favor with one of his own. They trade right hands for a moment until they both rear back, fists clenched. BOOM!!! The force causes a LARGE EARTHQUAKE. The buildings SHAKE and CRUMBLE as we: FADE OUT. We hear the FIZZLE of RADIO STATIONS until stopping on a news report. We hear the voice of KAREN MILLER. KAREN (V.O.) I'm Karen Miller with a special report. The full-scale war which struck New York has finally come to a stop. Two men, who eye witnesses claimed could fly and had tremendous strength, fought all over New York with no sings of slowing down. Scientists and experts say that this could have very well been the Holy War between the son of the Alpha God and the son of Rymar. Nothing is confirmed, but stay with us for more. FADE IN. We see Krillik and Domar laying next to each other. Solem chorus music fills the air as we STEADY on Krillik. He opens his eyes for a moment, seeing the people crowding around him. Suddenly, BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT surrounds Krillik. The people step back as Krillik's body floats up through the light into the sky. WHITE OUT TO: Krillik's face, extreme close-up. We PAN away and see the faces of many MEN and WOMEN. Surrounding the faces is a WHITE HUE, similar to the dream sequence with Nayla. We hear the Alpha God and a WOMAN'S VOICE as we FADE OUT. ALPHA (V.O.) I should have expected this. The length and strain of the battle might have been too much for him. WOMAN'S VOICE What about Domar? ALPHA Dead. WOMAN Will Krillik survive? ALPHA All we can do is wait...and hope. FADE OUT. We FADE IN on Krillik. He is laying in front of a LARGE group of people. Standing in front of them is the Alpha God. Krillik rises, a pained look on his face. ALPHA How do you feel? KRILLIK I feel...hurt. ALPHA As you should. Your battle with Domar lasted quite a while. KRILLIK Domar...is he... Alpha nods. ALPHA Yes. Dead. The group of people begin to applaud and cheer for Krillik. He smiles slightly. ALPHA But now you must decide, Krillik. KRILLIK Decide what? ALPHA You must decide whether or not you will take my place. The choice is yours, and no one here will respect you any less if you don't. A beat. KRILLIK I... ALPHA Just know that I will love and watch over you no matter what you do. A beat. KRILLIK I...will. I have to. I have to do it for myself... Krillik glances at the the group of people, then to his father. KRILLIK ...and for all of you. I have to do it. ALPHA Very well. Now you must fulfill the rest of the prophecy. A beat. KRILLIK Blood Lake. ALPHA Yes. EXT. BLOOD LAKE - DAY Krillik walks down the dusty trail towards the lake, holding Domar's body in his arms. Somber piano music fills the air as he kneels down and places Domar's body in the water. KRILLIK His body drifted into Blood Lake. His spirit belonged to the Earth, his body to the lake. Domar drifts down to the lake and out of Krillik's sight. Krillik stands up and looks up, only to realize he's not at Blood Lake anymore. He is in an entirely different place. Surrounding him is a BRIGHT RED AREA with GOLD and BLUE lines RUNNING through it. He wanders through with a confused look on his face before hearing a LOUD and BOOMING VOICE. VOICE Taai!! A few seconds later, the voice is heard again. VOICE Taai!! A beat. VOICE It has finally started. Only in death can you find peace, and only in life...can you find death. We CLOSE in on Krillik's face, the chorus building, THEN: BLACK OUT. ROLL CREDITS. THE END
