SCENE 1- THE
AWAKENING
Fade in
Skyscraper:(Morning)
We see we are
in a city in the not too distant future. We drift up a tall skyscraper to find
a tall muscular figure standing looking out to another building in the
distance. We slowly drift forward it as it turns round to face us scowling.
Voice
You reporters
are more, persistent than I thought. Want to know if I'll strike again do we?!
(Laughs) But I know why you have tracked me down, even though it has taken you
so long. You want to know why and when it happened; Very well it all started,
three years ago when I was... Human!
Fade to white
Fade in
We are inside
a futuristic building. We are looking down through a glass ceiling. Scientists
are going about there business running diagnostics and routine maintenance. The
other scientists are focused on an arch-shaped device. We drift through the
ceiling and follow the scientists and jack as they go about there duties.
JACK WALKER
I was chief
scientist for the, New Energy Institute or NEI for short. My name back then was
Jack Walker. Our team had discovered this new energy source, we had found on
one of our routine excavations at a known site. But this energy we encountered
was like, nothing we could ever have imagined. We were all in a state of
excitement for the potential of this, energy was limitless or so we thought…
CUT TO WIDE
VIEW.
SCIENTIST 1
All
diagnostics system checks complete sir.
SCIENTIST 2
All
non-essential systems, have been shut off sir. Power levels are at one hundred
percent. Ready when you are sir.
JACK WALKER
OK! But we do
it by the book. Start the infusion sequence slowly, and then increase energy
infusion by two percent.
We follow the
scientists as they carry out their orders.
SCIENTIST 2
Power
fluctuating sir, comp...
Suddenly
warning lights start flashing as an automated voice issues from out of nowhere.
VOICE
Warning!
Warning! Infusion system compromised.
CUT TO FRONT
VIEW.
JACK WALKER
What the
hell?! Someone tell me what just happened! In fact don't. Computer report!
COMPUTER VOICE
Unknown
anomaly detected in X5/227
JACK WALKER
What anomaly?!
COMPUTER VOICE
Insufficient
data! Scans report intelligent life-form within energy source
JACK WALKER
What kind...
life-form?
COMPUTER VOICE
Insufficient
data! Power levels increasing. Unable to initiate shut-down procedure! Evacuate
immediately. Blast door will close in T-minus one minute
Jack turns to
face the two scientists.
JACK WALKER
You two get
out of here! That's an order!
We follow the
scientists as they run quickly to the blast door it is shutting fast. The last
scientist just makes it as the blast door slams down hard. We hear the locking
mechanisms sealing the door. We turn back to see jack who is in concentration
JACK WALKER
(TO HIMSELF)
OK (cracks his
knuckles) let's do this! Computer access procedure 1.5-277 alpha!
COMPUTER VOICE
Access denied.
Power levels reaching crit......
From out of
nowhere a large explosion erupts as the large arched shaped device explodes. At
the same time a bright purple electrical discharge is seen rushing towards
Jack. It hits him so violently that he struggles to remain on his feet.

SCENE 2- THE
VOICE
Hospital:(Afternoon)
Fade in
We see were
are in a hospital drifting down the corridor. Doctors and nurses and patient's
are going about there business. We drift from room to room until we stop and
focus on this one particular room. We slowly drift into this room and see jack
who is battered and bruised from the accident. Three men in suits enter the
room one is older than the other two. The jack wakes up groggily.
MAN 1
Ah you're
awake. I'll leave you two to talk.
Man 1 exits
the room.
JACK WALKER
My head
(groans) What..? Where..? Where am I? How did I get here?
MAN 2
You where
brought here by our people. Don't you recognize me?
Man 2 comes
closer to the bed.
JACK WALKER (LAUGHS)
Mike Allen! You old son of a gun! Still
pushing pencils are we? (Laughs)
MIKE ALLEN
Yes
unfortunately but… we have more pressing issues to discuss! The board wants to
know. What happened at the lab. You know the procedure Jack. What you tell me
in this room, will be just between you and me.
JACK WALKER
Mike I wish I
could but... It's… all a blur. All I can remember is the, fusion sequence was
compromised somehow.
MIKE ALLEN
Go on.
JACK WALKER
I wish I could
Mike (smiles weakly) but my head hurts too much. Once I clear the cobwebs, I'll
beep you OK
MIKE ALLEN
Okay. Get some
rest and I'll come back and see you.
Mike Allen
exits the room.
JACK WALKER (To Himself)
Finally some
peace and quiet. I'll catch forty winks and I'll be right as…
(From nowhere a mysterious voice is heard.)
VOICE
So
you're alive. I must congratulate you, human - you are more resilient than I
thought.
(Jack is startled and frantically searches in
vain to figure out where the voice is coming from.)
JACK WALKER
Who are you?!
Are you a hallucination? Or have all my years of exposure, to strange energy
sources made me flip!
VOICE (Laughs)
You humans are
all the same. When you hear voices you think you are going mad, and you tell
yourself they are not real. Believe me when I tell you human… I am very real.
JACK WALKER
Say you are
real. What do you want with me?!
VOICE
I have no time
to explain just yet. We must escape this place. In time you will see, who your
true friends and enemies are. We must hurry. That human with the needle will be
coming to extract blood from us, and test it and then we will be in jeopardy if
we linger here much longer. Come human.
JACK WALKER
Wait! Before
we go anywhere, my name is Jack not Human okay?!
VOICE
As you wish…
Jack! Now, let's get out of this place.
Jack catches
his reflection in a mirror. He looks in horror at his appearance. He slowly
leans in for a closer look and from time to time his eyes change to bright
purple to normal again.
VOICE
As you see
Jack, I am no mere hallucination. You're wondering why your appearance has
changed. I am sorry… I was starved of sustenance, so I had to find something to
feed on. But do not be afraid - you will regain your strength in time. But we
must escape! There is an exit on the other side of this building. It is far but
it is imperative that we go.
(When Jack exits the room a cut scene
ensues.)
DOCTOR
You should be
in bed.
The doctor
places his hand on Jack's shoulder. Jack grabs the doctor's hand as the camera
cuts in from behind and he is sent flying into an empty room. The doctor slams
violently into a cupboard and collapses on the floor unconscious. The camera
cuts to a wide side view as other doctors, nurses and patients look on in
horror. Close up shot of Jack's face, an "I wish I hadn't done that"
look upon his face. Suddenly an alarm sounds.
VOICE
I suggest we
get out of here, quickly after that little display (laughs) finds the exit… And
fast!
Fade to black
Fade in
Ext.
Hospital:(Mid Afternoon)
We see the
hospital exit being flung wide open and jack slowing to a stop as he looks
around to see if hospital security has followed him. Then he starts to run but
stops abruptly has he his blinded by a bright light. He covers his eyes from
the glare and he hears a familiar voice who reveals himself.
MIKE ALLEN
I suggest you
stop, what you're about to do Jack. You didn't think you, would get away that
easily did you? (Laughs) Did you honestly believe we would, let you get away
with our finest achievement?! I think not.
Mike slowly
draws a tranquilizer gun from his pocket and readies himself to fire, but Jack
spots it and lunges forward grabbing him violently and shoving him up
against the wall.
JACK WALKER (ANGRILY)
I can't
believe in all these years, I've known you your loyalties still haven't
changed! When are you going to realize that you don't owe them anything?! They
don't own you… but I see you still don't get it do you? (Sighs) So long, Mike…
Jack turns and
a start to walk away. A click is heard and jack knows he has a gun trained on
him. He shakes his head slowly and continues walking.
MIKE ALLEN
(SHOUTING)
DON'T MAKE ME
USE THIS, JACK! … JACK?!JAAAAACK!

SCENE 3-
CAPTURED
City
Streets:(Dusk)
We are in the
city streets. We follow jack as he walks causally down the city. Other people
are going about there business nightclubs and bars are full of revellers. Some
are being ejected from a nightclub and protesting. Suddenly jack doubles over
in pain he grabs his stomach as the pain intensifies. His eyes slowly change to
bright purple then normal. Then pain quickly subsides. And his arm begins to glow.
He dashes into a nearby bar harboring his glowing arm.
CUT TO
INTERIOR OF BAR
Jack is
standing in the middle of the room and slowly walks to the bar to sit on a
stool. The bartender idles up to the bar to serve him.
BARTENDER
(GRUFFLY)
What will it
be?
JACK WALKER
Nothing…
Thanks!
BARTENDER
Listen pal if
you don't want a drink then get the hell out.
Jack just
glares at the bartender and his eyes instantly change to bright purple. Without
warning Jack grabs the bartender and hurls him out over the bar. The bartender
slams hard onto the floor and Jack casually walks up to him clenching his fist
as it starts to glow brightly. He unleashes some kind of energy bolt which
strikes the bartender hard resulting in a shrill scream before the bartender
starts to fade into thin air. Jack's eyes then revert back to normal.
JACK WALKER
What the… What
just happened?!
VOICE
As you can see
Jack I can assume, control over your body if you are in danger.
JACK WALKER
But I wasn't
in any danger at all. I had seen it happening but… I couldn't do anything about
it. So what you're saying is that if I'm in danger, you can take control of my
body and vaporize any-one who threatens me?!
VOICE
Correct! But I
fear that we, have alerted the local authorities. I suggest we get out of here
before we are arrested.
CUT TO MAN ON
PHONE, AND THEN BACK TO JACK.
JACK WALKER
(SURPRISED)
What?!! I
wasn't the one who killed him! You did! So why will I get in trouble?!
VOICE
Because these
people have witnessed it, and I suggest by the looks we are getting that they
will say you are insane. We will talk later but for now we must…
Suddenly
without warning we hear police sirens wailing the screech of brakes and doors
opening and slamming shut. The bar door is kicked open by four police officers
who rush in and surround Jack.
POLICE OFFICER
1
FREEZE!
POLICE OFFICER
2
Don't make a
god damn move buddy.
POLICE OFFICER
3
Keep your
hands where I can see them.
POLICE OFFICER
4
Come on you
whack job let's go.
CUT TO
EXTERIOR OF BAR.
Jack is placed
into a waiting police car while people stand and watch with shocked and
horrified looks on their faces. Jack's face shows disgust with himself. We
watch as he is driven away.

SCENE 4- THE
ESCAPE
Police
Station:(Evening)
Fade in
We see we are
in a police station, we are watching officers going about there business. We
turn to see jack being led through the double doors by the four officers. Jack
is angry, and it shows on his face. We drift to the booking desk and stop when
we reach jack. Who is slammed hard against the booking desk.
SERGEANT
(GRUFFLY)
What's the
charge?!
POLICE OFFICER
1
Creating a
disturbance and, for whatever he did to the bartender… According to statements
we took from witnesses at the scene. I think we better call someone in from the
board. I think it's what, they're looking for serge.
SERGEANT
Okay. Until
then put him in cell two. You other three, I want reports written up.
POLICE
OFFICERS 1, 2, & 3
You got it,
serge.
Police Officer
1 takes Jack to a holding cell. We follow as he is pushed into the holding
cell. Some sort of force field appears as Jack sits down on a bench. The other
prisoners glare at him. One of the onlooker's eyes widen as he recognizes the
newcomer.
MAN
Jack?! Jack
Walker? Is that really you?!
JACK WALKER
Yeah, who
wants to…? Jake? Jake Parker! (Smiles) I'll be god-dammed. So I take it you
still haven't learned, what I tried to get into that thick head of yours
(smiles).
JAKE PARKER
(LAUGHS)
Well… I tried
but you know me Jack - never could learn my lesson (smiles).
JACK WALKER
So what are
you in for? Let me guess! Robbery? Illegal gambling? Hacking the grid?
(Sneers).
JAKE PARKER
Same old crap.
Wrong place wrong time. So why did they arrest you? I thought you were Mr.
Squeaky Clean Mr. Respectable (laughs).
JACK WALKER
I… I can't.
Not here (whispers) let's just say the project, which is classified is loose
JAKE PARKER
(SHOCKED)
What?! I
thought the containment device would hold it.
JACK WALKER
So did I but,
we overlooked something. Basically some…
(Jack is cut off mid-sentence when someone
out of shot shouts on him.)
VOICE (O.S.
Jack Walker?
We turn round
to see a man in a very expensive suit walk to the force-field. He looks at jack
smugly, knowing that jack will need him to bail him out.
JACK WALKER
Sam Spears. I
thought you retired.
SAM SPEARS
(SMUGLY)
After the
little incentive they offered me?! Not a chance. The board was very generous
when I, told them about you and what happened. So how did you feel after it?
Did you feel yourself change?! Don't try and come up with excuses Jack. I've
seen the evidence.
Jack sits back
down. He starts shaking uncontrollably. His muscles flex and thicken. He
screams in pain but he stops and his head goes limp. His head snaps up and
looks directly at us his eyes which are now bright purple. We drift back slowly
to see jack looking at Sam. Sam looks shocked and steps back a little uneasily.
VOICE
(IRONICALLY)
So my captor
rears his ugly head once again.
SAM SPEARS
You're alive I
see. I never expected you, to go to these lengths to stay alive.
VOICE
Yes but this
human I, have bonded with knows all about me. He tried to hide the information
when he discovered me, but you had his mind erased! But in time he'll remember
and you will pay... All of you!
SAM SPEARS
(LAUGHS)
Do you think
that I'm scared of you?! Remember I know your weakness. If you force my, hand
then I will! In the meantime, let's get you home.
From out of
nowhere four men appear beside Sam clad in some kind of armor and wielding
menacing guns. The force field disappears as the four men enter the cell and
converge slowly on Jack. He scowls at the men around him then at Sam before
smiling confidently and fading into the dark purple haze and disappearing.
Sam's astounded expression quickly turns to anger.
SAM SPEARS (FURIOUS)
Find him!
MAN 1
B…but sir, he
could be anywhere.
SAM SPEARS
I don't care,
fin...…
(He is cut off mid-sentence when he hears his
cell phone ringing. He takes it out and answers it.)
SAM SPEARS
Hello?! No
sir, he got away somehow… Don't worry sir we'll find him. Don't worry, we'll
contain the situation… Yes, sir.
Sam presses a
button to end the call then angrily puts the phone back in his pocket.
SAM SPEARS
Damn you Jack!

SCENE 5- THE
BETRAYAL
Scrap
yard:(Night)
Fade in
We see we are
in a scrap yard. From out of nowhere jack fades in from thin air. His eyes
change to normal. He looks at his surroundings with surprise and recognition.
He walks and looks around reminiscing. He suddenly stops.
JACK WALKER
Why did you
bring me here?!
VOICE
It was… Never
mind. It's not important. What is that you have, regained some of your strength
and inherited one of my powers.
JACK WALKER
You mean the
old Houdini trick back in the station?!
VOICE
Correct. But
we cannot stay here for long. The board now knows that, I exist and will stop
at nothing to capture me… And you!
JACK WALKER
(SURPRISED)
Me?! What do
they want me for? I don't know anything about you.
VOICE
Hm! The little
task performed on you is worse than I expected. I cannot explain, or tell you
the truth… Your memory will recover in ti… What?! What is that roaring noise?!
The noise gets
louder as whatever is approaching suddenly and without warning rears into view
with twenty motorcycles speeding past Jack who jumps back in alarm.
JACK WALKER
Great! Just
perfect!
VOICE
Who are these
humans…? I mean people, Jack?
JACK WALKER
(LAUGHS PLEASANTLY)
You learn
quickly. Don't panic, they're no threat to us.
VOICE
Your friend
Jake is among them.
JACK WALKER
Huh?! How do
you know that?!
VOICE
I can sense
him.
The
motorcycles slowly move towards Jack. His eyes flicker purple. The motorcycles
slow to a stop then shut off there engines. They dismount one by one before Jake
pushes his way through their ranks and walks up to Jack.
JAKE PARKER
Jack?! What
are you doing here?!
JACK WALKER
I can't
explain… Not now. How did you get here so fast?
JAKE PARKER
I... don't
know, all I remember is being on my bike. I saw what happened in the station
buddy. Don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
(Jacks eyes instantly change to bright
purple.)
VOICE
Thank you
Jake.
JAKE PARKER
So, it is you…
I'm sorry for what we did to you - me Jack, the rest of the team.
VOICE (LAUGHS
PLEASANTLY)
There is no
need for apologies Jake. It was out of your and Jack's hands. He still does,
not know the truth. I beg you not to tell him - he must learn it for himself.
JAKE PARKER
Hm…. Alright,
so… How does it feel to have a body?! (Laughs)
VOICE (LAUGHS)
It takes some
getting use to… Jake?
JAKE PARKER
Yeah?
VOICE
It will
happen.
JAKE PARKER
(SURPRISED)
Really?! Are
you sure?
VOICE
Yes, I'm
afraid so.
JAKE PARKER
Is there any
other way?
VOICE
No, I'm…
sorry… Jake.
JAKE PARKER
Are you okay?!
VOICE
He is getting
tired. We must find some place to rest.
Suddenly we
see army helicopters and police and NEI security cars surround jack. The lights blind him and
he covers his eyes. Nei security police
and army personnel quickly surround jack. The are heavily armed and have there
guns trained on him. Sam spears makes his way through the men and strides
casually up to jack looking smug with himself.
SAM SPEARS
(SMUG)
Well done
Jake. I knew you could not resist.
JAKE PARKER
What have I
done? Jack? Can you hear me?! I… I'm sorry.
SAM SPEARS
He can't hear
you. It was designed to block out sound, so technically he's deaf. Okay let's
get you home.
Army personnel
lift Jack into a waiting helicopter. We
follow Jack as they do so. Jake and Sam follow but Jake walks slowly behind.
Fade slowly to
black.

SCENE 6-
RECAPTURED
NEI
Headquarters(Unknown Time)
Fade in
We are inside
NEI headquarters. We are drifting down the corridor. We slow to a stop outside
a holding cell. Jack has chains on his arms and legs which are chained to the
floor. He is staring at the floor and his eyes are flickering purple. We hear two
pairs of footsteps and two men appear who look into the holding cell.
MAN
Well done Sam.
The board is pleased with this result!
SAM SPEARS
Thank you sir.
It was not easy to track him... but I knew his friend Jake could not resist our
little offer! (Laughs smugly).
MAN
The results
are encouraging. We tried the same scenario with other subjects, but they
turned out like all the others… failures. I'm warning you if he escapes again,
next time I won't be so lenient.
SAM SPEARS
(NERVOUSLY)
Ye… yes si…
sir!
The man walks
away
Jack looks up
and stares at Sam though he cant see him through the two way force-field. He
shudders involuntary and smiles smugly at jack and walks away confidently.
JACK WALKER
(TO HIMSELF)
Jake… how
could you do this to me! I thought we were friends!
VOICE
Jack! Jake is
not to blame, for our incarceration. Sam knew Jake's situation and he knew all
along, that he would collapse under pressure. He is still your friend, and you
should not judge him so harshly.
JACK WALKER
(ANGRY)
What would you
know about friends?! Huh?! I wouldn't be in this mess, if it wasn't for you!
VOICE (CALMLY)
I warn you
jack, do not try my patience! I am sensing you are hurt, by Jake's current
actions. Remember I can control your body, and I could kill you in an instant.
JACK WALKER
I'm sorry…
Ok?!
VOICE
Apology
accepted; now let us get out of this place!
JACK WALKER
Slight
problem! (Jangling chains)
VOICE (LAUGHS
PLEASANTLY)
These chains
are nothing Jack. Focus! That's all you need to do!
Jack stares at
his chains. After a short while they begin to undo themselves. They fall
abruptly to the floor. He breathes a sigh of relief. He stands up and looks
around to find someway out of the holding cell.
VOICE
You may have
escaped your bonds… But you have a bigger challenge ahead of you!
JACK WALKER
Let me guess!
I have to bust out of this room, and get out of N.E.I!
VOICE
Yes… and no!
Jake is here too! You must find him! They're torturing him for information.
JACK WALKER
He knows all
about me… I mean us. That's why there torturing him. Listen it's all a trap
trust me. They have done it before, countless times for lesser things.
VOICE
Are you saying
you, are going to leave him here?! He has been your friend for years. Surely
you are not going to abandon him here… to rot?!
JACK WALKER
(ANGRY)
He betrayed
me, us! I would never do that to hi…
He is cut off
mid sentence by the murmured voice of Jake pleading and then screaming for
mercy. Jack looks up at the ceiling and just listens. A gunshot rings out
silencing Jake's screams. A horrified expression slowly shows on jacks face,
then anger while his eyes flash purple with murderous rage. He lets out
mournful howl then lowers his head and starts to sob.
JACK WALKER
Jake... What…
have I done?!
VOICE
It is too late
for him we must go… now! Sam Mike, the rest of the board they, will pay… in
time! Do not stand there and wallow in your self pity. It is imperative that we
must go.
JACK WALKER
What's the
point! We're both dead now!
VOICE
If you are
unwilling to cooperate so be it!
The alien
within jacks body try's to take control over him, jack fights back
aggressively.
JACK WALKER (ANGRILY)
No! Not this
time! I'm getting rid of you once and for all!
VOICE
That is
unwise, for you see… I am integrated into every part of your body… Killing me
would kill you. I may seem defenseless, but I can assure I am not!
The alien
again takes over jacks body, jack try's to fight back, but looses. Suddenly the
cell door opens quickly security forces enter the room and quickly surround
jack then Sam Spears enters the room looking smug with himself.
SAM SPEARS
Leaving us so
soon?
VOICE
Do not try and
in stand in our way… Sam!
SAM SPEARS
So you now
know my name?! Impressive… for a failed project like you!
VOICE (LAUGHS)
It may seem to
you Sam, that I may be a failed project. But I can assure you even though, I
seem weak and defenseless my abilities are re-generating as we speak...as for
Jack… He and I will become....One!
The alien
within jack's body knows it has struck a nerve and smiles smugly at Sam. Who in
turns clenches his fists slowly and angrily then quickly pulls a gun on
jack/alien. The alien knows he won't shoot.
VOICE
I know you
want, to shoot me Sam… but you still consider jack your friend! But how can he
consider you, a friend when you want to capture him!
Suddenly
Jack/alien disappears in the dark purple haze. Sam just looks at him with a
guilt ridden expression on his face. One of the guards turns to Sam for
guidance.
GUARD 1
Sir?!
SAM SPEARS
No! I shall
tell Brad Peterson I have failed him myself.
Fade to black
We hear a gun
shot ring out and then a thud.

All we see is
black and two people talking who is Mike Allen and Brad Peterson.
MIKE ALLEN
Are you sure
you want, to proceed with this sir?! After what happened the last time?!
BRAD PETERSON
Don't question
my reasons for doing this Mike, do not make me angry or I'll de-mote you so
fast it will make your head spin! Computer, begin the procedure!
COMPUTER VOICE
Procedure
SZ221- beta initiated! Subjects bio readings within normal levels.
BRAD PETERSON

Damn it!
Computer increase fusion by 23 percent!
MIKE ALLEN

Are you sure
about that sir?!
BRAD PETERSON

DO NOT
QUESTION MY METHODS!!!
COMPUTER VOICE
Unable to
comply, subject's bio readings are within dangerous levels…
All we hear is
an explosion, then a shrill scream but not human then chains being violently
snapped then a ground shaking thud. Lastly an inhuman voice is heard.

WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE TO ME???!!!
City
Streets:(Night)
Fade in
We drift
through the city to a nearby park and to where jack is sitting on a bench. He
is sitting back relaxed and contemplating his next move. We see a flash of
light and a blurred image is seen but we cant make it out what it is.
JACK WALKER
Man what…. Was
that?!
VOICE
Its seem they
are trying again.
JACK WALKER
What are you
talking about?! If you mean the experiment, then they can't! The energy that
was… YOU was depleted. Plus we never expected the fusion sequence to go wrong!
We calculated every, possible outcome… Did...did we overlook something?!
VOICE
I can't tell
you jack. Your memory will recover, but we must find somewhere safe to hide. I
believe your fathers old, restaurant will suffice we must go… quickly.
Jack starts to
run to where his father's restaurant is. Suddenly he starts running faster and
faster then without warning leaps high and far into the air, then lands heavily
outside the restaurant.
JACK WALKER (SHOCKED)
Whoa! What was
that?!
VOICE
Another of my
powers has been passed on to you jack, you have the ability to run faster… if
need be and jump higher and farther than you have ever imagined.
Suddenly a man
appears from the restaurant. He is a lot older in appearance, and has a patch
over one eye and short gray hair. He is dressed casually.
MAN (ANGRILY)
Who goes
there… Jack?! Is… is that, you son?
JACK WALKER
Yes dad it's
me! We better go inside and talk!
CUT TO INT.
RESTAURANT
BURT WALKER
What's wrong
son? (Sighs) don't tell me, you're on those damn drugs again!
JACK WALKER
(LAUGHS)
Dad… I've been
clean of, those things for years. I work at N.E.I now remember? Your memory is
getting worse. Have you been to see your doctor?!
BURT WALKER
(ANGRILY)
I am not going
to see that crackpot ever...
(Suddenly jacks eyes change to bright purple)
VOICE
We haven't
time for these pleasantries. Your son is in danger, do you recall the project
he was working on at N.E.I?
BURT WALKER
(SHOCKED)
Who...are
you?! (Angrily) What have you done to my son?!
VOICE
Please be calm
Mr. Walker. Your son is quite safe... For,you see... I live within him, to be
more precise… I live within his mind.
BURT WALKER
(SHOCKED)
How… how is
this possible!
VOICE
I cannot
explain nor tell you at this moment, it is imperative that no-one knows where
we are here!
(Jacks eyes change back to normal)
JACK WALKER
I agree dad!
No- one must know, please dad!
BURT WALKER
Fine! But at
least tell me something!
JACK WALKER
(SIGHS)
Ok… Look!
Remember the project which was named x5227? Me and Jake, and the rest of the
team were working on?!
BURT WALKER
Yea… Yeah!
JACK WALKER
We got more
than we bargained for. When we and the team tested the energy source dad!
BURT WALKER
Wh...What...you
mean... you found something more, than just a new source of energy?
JACK WALKER
Yeah! A
sentient being.... And it's now bonded with me, but it's still weak!
BURT WALKER
Can I talk to
it?!
(Jacks eyes instantly change to bright
purple)
VOICE
Yes Mr.
Walker?!
BURT WALKER
What is it you
want with my son?!
Before the
alien can answer, the alien/jack double over in pain, then the alien/jack
slowly begins to glow. The glow fades then brightens before it fades
completely. Jack/alien then stand up, Burt just stares up at him in awe.
VOICE
Ah! That is
much better!
BURT WALKER
What just
happened?!
VOICE
I have
re-generated. Well....almost
BURT WALKER
What do you
mean by that? (Angrily) If you have hurt my son in any way.....
VOICE (LAUGHS)
There is no
need for you to be alarmed; your son is quite safe... Now we must go!
BURT WALKER
Go where!
VOICE
Back to NEI to
see what has happened, I sense they are trying the experiment again!
BURT WALKER
Don't go back
there, the both of you!
(Jacks eyes return to normal)
JACK WALKER
Dad we got to,
I sense it too. I got to see for myself.... And if they are we got to stop em!
Jack/alien
slowly fades into the purple haze, Burt just stares at him, tears start to well
in his eyes, then jack/alien disappears, Burt just lowers his head.
BURT WALKER
(V.O.)
Good
bye....Sons!

SCENE 8
GOODBYE OLD FRIEND
NEI
Headquarters:(Dusk)
Fade in
We are back
outside NEI headquarters a purple flash is seen and jack appears. He just
stands there pondering how to gain entrance. He concentrates his eyes on the
security guards patrolling. And the security cameras.
JACK WALKER
I sense they
may have tightened security (laughs). Maybe they were expecting me!
VOICE
Yes they have,
tightened security...But we must get inside the building. Maybe this will help!
Suddenly jack
begins to blur into bright purple and then quickly back to normal again
JACK WALKER
What? did you
just do to me?
VOICE
I have given
you another of my powers. You now have the ability to be undetectable..... This
is taxing however it will not, last long so use it wisely! And be careful not
to trip any alarms.
We jack
running fast and two guards chasing him unable to keep up with him. We follow
him as he jump kicks a double door open. He stops abruptly and turns to see the
guards still chasing him.
JACK WALKER
(FRUSTRATED)
Damn it! These
guys don't quit!
VOICE
(FRUSTRATED)
Well I told
you, not to snap his neck! When two other guards where right beside you!
JACK WALKER
OK.... (Sighs)
now lets find out, what's going on here!
Suddenly a
large futuristic-looking door snaps open four guards step out and at the same
time jack leaps behind a nearby desk. The door snaps shut Jack just listens
GUARD 1
Don't worry
guys we'll find him and snap his neck!
THE GUARDS
WALK OUT OF SHOT!
VOICE
You have
probably wondered, how you where able to seal the door. Another of my powers
has regenerated. You have the ability to move objects at will..... This is
taxing too; you must use these abilities wisely. Other wise you will be, unable
to oppose anyone who stands in our way!
JACK WALKER
I....
sense..... Someone ...it c...
Suddenly a
huge figure comes crashing behind a wall. It roars aloud with anger. It whips
its head round to look at jack who steps back uneasily.
CREATURE (ANGRILY)
GET OUT OF MY
WAY JAAAACK!
The creature
sends jack flying through the air, he unsteadily gets back to his feet
JACK WALKER
No it....
can't be! (Mournful) Jake? What have they done to him?
VOICE
I am sorry
Jack. Unfortunately he has become another casualty, of Brad Peterson's twisted
experiments. We must stop him, before he escapes from here. Otherwise he
will.....
JACK WALKER
Yes, I know.
But...I still feel weak and so do you. Let me at least try to reason with him!
VOICE
Reasoning with
him in his current state will not help! For the being he now is, has no morals
no emotions. Jake is now "dead".... But we must stop him. Do not let
your past, friendship affect what you must do! I sense they are on the roof. We
must hurry!
We follow jack
as climbs up to the roof. He kicks the exit open angrily and we see brad and
jake standing talking. Jack just stands there scowling. He angrily walks
towards them but suddenly stops. Brad and jake turn to see jack standing
glaring at them. Brad smiles smugly at jack.
BRAD PETERSON
(SMUG)
I commend you
for, coming back here jack. I didn't think you had the guts!
JACK WALKER
I had to come
back....to put an end to what you're doing!
BRAD PETERSON
Bravo! But I
am afraid this is the end......of you!
(Brad nods and Jake advances on jack!)
JACK WALKER
Jake! Don't do
this, don't make me hurt you!
(A Brief battle ensues)
Jake advances
on jack who steps back uneasily. Jack realizes he has no other option to fight.
His arms flare with energy. He fires a bolt of energy at jake. It hits him and
he staggers back. Jack is suddenly rocketed up into the air Jake watches him as
he does. We follow him as reaches the city. He looks about luckily the city and
lands.
JACK WALKER.
Wow! I didn't
know, I could do that... oh! It was you, thanks!
VOICE
My pleasure!
Now do you see what he has become?
JACK WALKER
Yes... I do!
Jack looks up
to a rooftop and his eyes flash purple.

End of Scene 8

SCENE 9-
UNCOVERING THE TRUTH
Rooftop:(Night)
Fade in
Wee see jack
sitting on the rooftop. Staring down at the city below him. He is watching a
busy night club as people enter and leave. Some are drunk and being ejected
from the night club. He just watches as he is smoking a cigarette.
JACK WALKER
I remember
something, about the project.... argh! But it's hazy! It was when we escaped
the hospital.
(A black and white cut-scene ensues as jack
narrates.)
JACK WALKER (V.O.)
I just ran as
fast as I, could to get away from mike.... and Nei security and, the army who
were on to me! The first place I could think of was this nightclub me and Jake
went....
He is cut off
by the sounds of helicopters zooming past, police sirens wailing and then
stopping outside the night club. All them get out and one them spots jack and
points directly at him.
JACK WALKER (FRUSTRATED)
Damn it!!
VOICE
I suggest we
find some where we cannot be found!
JACK WALKER
Where? Every
where we go, they'll find us! I may as well give up; they'll never stop hunting
us!
(Jack staggers back as if slapped in the
face)
JACK WALKER
Ouch! What was
that for?
VOICE
To snap you
out of, your delusions jack. Don't you realize that if you give up now, they
will kill you.... which inevitably will kill me! We have no other choice but to
wait until I have fully regenerated then we will fight!
JACK WALKER
Yeah you're
right; they think I'm a coward, well from now on its you and me...X!
VOICE
(SHOCKED)
What.... did
you just call me?
JACK WALKER
Huh? What are
you talking about? I never called you anything
VOICE
It does not
matter I believe, I have the solution to jolt you're memories into remembering
the project but.... I fear brad has got to him; the only way is to find him. We
must find a way to his home. I have marked the location on the map but we must
get past, all those police cars I believe stealth is the key!
Jack sneaks
past all the police cars and runs along the rooftops. Jumping from rooftop to
rooftop. Until he reaches an impressive looking house. We follow him has he
approaches the gate of the house cautiously. He stops and rings the bell and
waits. He gets no answer and jumps over the gate with ease. We follow as he
walks to the door of the house and knocks. The door is opened slightly by man
who looks really nervous about something.
MAN
Ye...yes? Can
I he... Help you?
JACK WALKER
I need to talk
to you!
MAN
I'm sorry you
must go, you shouldn't have come here!
JACK WALKER
I need to ask
you about the project!
MAN
I can't tell
you anything.
(The man slams the door in jacks face)
MOMENTS
LATER...
Jack is
stunned by the mans reaction. He quickly senses someone is behind him and turns
to face who ever it is. He is saddened it turns out to be jake. He blasts him
with an energy blast then he rockets up to the sky.
CUT TO:
SKYSCRAPER
We see jack
sitting on the edge of the skyscraper looking down on the city below. He is
looking depressed. Knowing he'll be eventually caught.
JACK WALKER
Brad will
never, stop hunting us won't he?
VOICE
Yes jack....
But we can stop him once, I have regained all of my strength!
JACK WALKER
Where did you
come from?
VOICE
I suppose you
have a right to know! I am a highly advanced energy being, our world was being
torn apart by war. Our race was divided us the ryheilia the others, the kiaeen.
They wanted the whole planet for themselves... but we would not let them take
it, they slaughtered my brothers and my life mate. I had no choice but to
escape... So I opened a conduit to this world, and stepped through but one of
them stumbled across the conduit. And followed me here. We were both drained by
our journey, and reverted to a liquid state that's when you found....us!
JACK WALKER
You mean?
VOICE
Yes one of the
kiaeen is here, and Jake its helpless host
Jack stands up
and looks out to the distance a mournful look on his face

SCENE 10- A
LITTLE TOO LATE
Old City
Streets:(Morning)
Fade in
We see jack
landing heavily. He slowly recognizes where he is. He is horrified at his
surroundings. He clenches his fists in anger. Then he walks around the city
still shocked. The buildings are falling apart. Homeless people are sleeping in
alleyways.
JACK WALKER
(SHOCKED)
Oh....my...god!
What happened here? I thought the energy we, discovered was for all sectors.
VOICE
Lies jack
that's what, they wanted you to believe. The corporate fat cats at NEI wanted
the energy, for the sector which you live in and no-one else! But we have a
more important matter to attend to, that's why I brought you here. We must go
and find Robert Johnson- the director of the project, before brad gets to
him...
Jack nods and
runs to Robert Johnson's house before he is too late. We follow as he reaches a
tall impressive house and stops. The gates have been torn off there hinges jack
walks cautiously as sees whoever caused this destruction. The house is in the
same state. One door lies uneasily on its hinge the other lies broken with huge
claw marks down it. We follow as he enters the house.
CUT TO: INT.
HOUSE
JACK WALKER
(NERVOUSLY)
I... I don't
like the look of this.
VOICE
Neither do I
jack, but we must find Robert, even though the situation looks bleak. Explore
the house find, any clue you can then Robert. But I fear we were not quick
enough.....
(Jack starts to search the house)
JACK WALKER (FRUSTRATED)
Not a god-damn
thing, brad must have beat us to it he's took all bob's research. Disks
recordings everything!
VOICE
Yes but we,
still have to find Robert. I sense he has a security bunker in the basement.
Hurry, jack....
(Jack find's the bunker)
We follow jack
as he approaches the entrance to the bunker. We punches a four-digit code on
the keypad. The pad turns red and beeps. He try's again but to no avail. He
takes three steps back and raises his arm and fires a bolt of energy at the
bunker entrance. An explosion rings out and a hole appears in the entrance. He
steps through, and scans the room. He finds Bob lying in a corner.
JACK WALKER
(CROAKED)
My god! Bob!
Bob is lying
slumped in the corner in a pool of his own blood. His arms have been violently
ripped off. Claw marks are clearly seen. Jack is deeply saddened. His eyes
flash with anger. He clenches his fists and slowly becomes angry.
VOICE
I am afraid we
are too late!
JACK WALKER
(ANGRILY)
You think?
VOICE
Jack be calm.
I know you are deeply upset by this, but we must focus. You will have your
revenge on those who have betrayed you. Slaughtered your closest friends.
Turned your closest friend into your enemy, erased your mind, Brad, Jake....
They will all pay with their lives, what they have done to you. But, we must be
cunning about this...
JACK WALKER
I can't just
sit idly by, and do nothing. I just want to kill everyone who's stabbed me in
the back; you must understand that, at least!
VOICE
Yes, I can.
But, we must go. I will take you some where- I need to show you something. It
will probably not work, because the procedure has taken its toll on you. But we
must try something, anything; to recover you're lost me...We...
We turn round
to see a figure in the hole jack made. We see who the figure is its jake. He
folds his arms and looks around him and at bob and grins. Then snaps his head
round and looks at jack with a crazed look in his eye.
JAKE PARKER
Impressive,
ryhyilian. I did not think you could have made so much progress in so little
time.
(Jacks eyes change to bright purple)
VOICE
Pryius, we
meet again. I should have obliterated you, while I had the strength!
PRYIUS
(LAUGHS)
You ryhyilians
are all the same....Weak! I thank you, for leading me here, old friend. This
world will soon be ours!
(Energy instantly flares from jack's arms)
VOICE
I will not
idly stand by, and let you and your kind, destroy yet another world.
(A battle ensues)
Jack and
pryius fight menacingly. And trying to get the upper hand. Pryius lands a heavy
blow in jacks face. Jack falls abruptly to the floor. He snaps round and stares
at pryius. He gathers some energy in his hand and smack pryius in the face.
Pryius stumbles to the ground. Jack lays the boot into pryius spraying blood
everywhere. Pryius is wounded and breathes heavily so does jack.
PRYIUS
(LAUGHS)
Not bad, old
friend. Not bad at all. Haven't you told this... human what your name is yet?
Shame, allow me, on the other hand. We should let him discover the truth, for
himself... which will destroy you both (laughs)
VOICE
You really are
pathetic, Pryius. It will not destroy us. I know jack well enough, that the
truth, will make him more determined to obliterate you.
PRYIUS
Are you sure
about that? I somehow doubt that, very much so. Very well then, I'll let this
pathetic human find out, for himself...
Pryius
disappears in a bright flash then jacks eyes return to normal
JACK WALKER
So... X, where
are you taking me? And what's so god-damn important, you need to show me
VOICE
(SHOCKED)
You...
Remember my name?
JACK WALKER
Yeah, but not
what happened!
VOICE
Hmm! I'm glad
your memory is recovering, But to undo the damage that brad has done to your
mind. Will take even more drastic measures. Where I'm taking you and what I
will show you, should have the desired effect.

Wasteland:(Unknown

Fade in
We see we are
in some sort of waste land. Jack is standing looking at his surroundings. He
spots some sort of liquid.
JACK WALKER
What is that?
Over there!
(Jack points towards a dark liquid in the
distance)
X
That is, where
you found me, Jack!
Jack walks
towards the dark liquid then stops
JACK WALKER
So, this is what
you wanted to show me!
X
Yes, but to
fully understand why I am here. You must step into the liquid. Do not be
afraid, jack, you will not be harmed.
Jack hesitates
for a moment then steps into the dark purple liquid
X
Now close your
eyes, and listen to the sound of my voice!

Fade in
Alien
Planet:(Unknown time)
We are on some
unknown alien planet we are drifting around all the destruction which is all
around us. Bodies are lying everywhere some have been brutally murdered. We
turn to see a purple flash. It is jack but he is in an alien form.
JACK WALKER
(SHOCKED)
What? Where am
I?
X
Do not be
afraid jack; you have assumed the form of a ryhyilian. This is my planet, which
Pryius intends to destroy through his own arrogance. He will stop at nothing,
to accomplish this. This is the moment where pryius defeats me in battle,
watch.
We drift from
jack to two aliens. One is standing over the other who is lying wounded from
there recent battle. Pryius is looking around him then looks at the other alien
in disgust.
PRYIUS
Pathetic! Your
are just like all the others, cowards. All you ever do is run. No matter, once
I have killed the rest of your kind, and you, this planet will soon be ours
(laughs)
X
Don't you get
it pryius? Killing us and your own brethren will only weaken the barrier. The
barrier is directly linked into the well-being of our planet, and us.
PRYIUS
I see our
elders; have filled your mind with their lies. There nothing but fools, Riyal.
RIYAL
It's not lies,
nor are the elder's fools, pryius. It's the truth. With each death of our kind,
the barrier weakens. And it will eventually affect the planets core. This will
inevitably destroy our home world, if you do not stop this, reckless act. When
will you realize your actions, will accomplish nothing. But our own demise.
PRYIUS
This world,
you call home, riyal, will soon be ours once again, the treaty we had.... Once,
was to lull your ignorant elders, and ours, into a false sense of security.
Face the facts riyal, the barrier your people had erected which your kind have
cowered behind for all these millennia, will fall, for eternity, and with that,
your kind will be nothing more.... Than a distant memory. So go ahead and run
like your kind always does! (Laughs loudly)
RIYAL
(ANGRILY)
Listen to me,
pryius, and listen well, I may be defeated, but know this: This is not over
between you and me. We will meet again, but the next time we meet, you will be
the one, who will fall.
CUT BACK TO
WASTELAND
RIYAL
So, you now
know the truth, jack!
JACK WALKER
So now....
Suddenly jack
is gripped by severe pain; he instantly falls to his knees.
JACK WALKER
What....at is
hap...happening T.....to me? Riyal?
Jack's
features start to become more alien, his eyes now become permanently purple,
then the pain then subsides, then he weakly gets back to his feet.
Jack walker
(CONT'D)
I sense an
elder is here, I know some of what has happened to me, but we are still too
weak, to oppose brad and Jake, I am sure my memory will fully recover, I know
who, and where the elder is. He holds the key to unlocking the truth, buried
deep in my mind.

City
Streets:(Dusk)
Fade in.
We follow jack
as he is walking down the city streets. He stops abruptly as what he sees. We
drift behind him and we see pryius and brad and Burt who is been beaten up
badly. Energy flares from his arms and runs towards brad and pryius. Brad
slowly raises a knife to Burt's neck. Jack stops running and the flaring energy
dissipates.
BRAD PETERSON
Not so fast,
jack. You move one more step, then, I'll end your father's life. Or I could let
Jake..... Sorry, pryius do the job for me (laughs)
JACK WALKER
You do that,
brad and I'll end yours.
BURT WALKER
Do... Don't
give in M.... my sons!
Brad hits Burt
in the face hard
BRAD PETERSON
Shut up! You
expected to find out the truth did you jack? Well it looks like you are a
little too late as always.
JACK WALKER
What do you
want brad? Me to put my hands up and say I surrender? Never! You think that by
killing my father that I will give myself up? (Laughs) all you ever do, and
have done brad, is kill all who get in your way, or who become an obstacle in
your path.
BRAD PETERSON
You sound like
that excuse for a project. I won't be the one who will kill your father jack,
it will be pryius.
(Brad turns to pryius)
End him!
Pryius nods
and turns towards Burt then thrusts a clawed hand into Burt's chest,.Jack looks
on in horror then screams.
JACK WALKER
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Pryius whips
his head round to jack smiles then he and brad disappear in a white flash. Jack
runs towards Burt who is lying on the ground covering the wound in his chest
with one hand
JACK WALKER (CONT'D)
Father!
BURT WALKER
Y... you...
must go to the... The temple with...
(Burt dies in jacks arms)
JACK WALKER
What temple?
Where? Riyal, what did he mean, go to the temple?
RIYAL
There is a
temple within my..... Our mind. We riyhilians use it, if we cannot find
answers, or to evolve, if needed. But it is risky, if you are too long within
the temple, your body will wither and die, or what you call a fail safe device,
will rush your mind back to consciousness. And that is too dangerous; I cannot
allow you to take that risk jack.
JACK WALKER
I am willing
to take that risk, riyal; you risked your life for me. Exposing brad's twisted
projects, so, it's my turn to repay the favor. What you say, won't change my
mind, we have got to stop brad and pryius, I think there working together,
pryius must have coerced him with promises of unlimited power, and brad gave
him a body. So we got to...
From out of
the distance we see a convoy of motorbikes approach, very quickly. Jack turn's
around and rockets up into the air..

FRIENDS REUNITED
Wasteland:(Unknown
Time)
Fade in
We see we are
back in the wasteland. Jack flies right past us and a gang of bikers zoom past
us chasing him. Jack lands and turns to face his pursers. He just glares at the
incoming bikers. He readies himself as the bikers stop turn off there engines.
One of the bikers pushes his way to the front.
JACK WALKER
Who are you?
What do you want? If your here because you've heard of Jake's fate, then here
is your killer. Go ahead, try me!
BIKER
Easy old pal.
Don't you know who I am? Just look, into my eyes.... Jack!
(Jack looks at the biker, then he slowly
realizes who the biker is)
JACK WALKER
Jake? But....
How?
JAKE PARKER
Riyal knows!
JACK WALKER
Can you at
least, share it with the rest of the group?
RIYAL
As you wish!
The temple within Jake's mind had become corrupted by pryius's thoughts. Jake
had become a prisoner within his own body, unable to do anything. But his will
to escape the catastrophe, that his body had become, was too great. Even pryius
couldn't stop him! But I still don't understand how or why!
JACK WALKER
Don't
under-estimate our own determination to survive, riyal! That's what all
sentient beings; strive on one single drive......To survive!
JAKE PARKER
Whoa!
Somebody, must have swallowed a dictionary (laughs)
RIYAL
I see our
minds are becoming as one, Jack. But we must press on, the further we delay.
The more ground, Pryius and brad gain.
JAKE PARKER
Riyal's right,
enough of this sentimental crap, let's get down to business
JACK WALKER
OK! Jake, you
and the others go back to the city. Scope out NEI. See if there's any unknown
activity going on
JAKE PARKER
You got it!
What about you?
JACK WALKER
Me? I'll need
to go to this temple thing, within my mind. And find out the truth, and try at
least to gain the power, which I need to defeat pryius, and brad. Or die
trying!
(Jake nods, he jumps on his bike, signals to
the other bikers to move out.)
JACK WALKER
Good luck....
Friend! So, riyal, how do we go about this whole temple thing?
RIYAL
First, you
must be comfortable, sit down jack.
(Jack sits)
RIYAL
Now slow your
breathing, until you are relaxed. Then close your eyes. Lastly will your mind
into the temple...
Fade to black
Desert:(Unknown
Time)
Fade in
We see jack
staring at a temple in the distance which seems to be building itself. He is
watching with his arms folded. He is surprised and gob-smacked. He shakes him
self from his revere. And looks at his surroundings.
JACK WALKER
Where....
Am... I?
(From nowhere riyal appears)
RIYAL
We are within
your mind jack, which will soon become one mind, indistinguishable. As you can
see, as our minds blend together. The temple gets bigger and stronger as each
moment passes. We have a more important matter to attend to here. That is why I
have brought you to this place.
JACK WALKER
I know, shall
we?
RIYAL
Indeed jack,
let us proceed!
We follow jack
to the temple who stops and looks up at awe at the huge impressive temple. We
continue to follow him as he enters the temple. We slow to a stop he reaches
some sort of ceremonial platform in the centre of the temple. He looks at the
walls which are covered in some sort of ancient text and symbols.
JACK WALKER
Wow! I didn't
think, this could be possible!
RIYAL
We are greater
than the sum of our parts, remember that jack. Let us press on.
He continues
to explore the temple. Wondering how all this can be possible. The temple seems
to grow in size as each moment passes. Stopping briefly to try and decipher
some symbols and texts but gives up.
JACK WALKER
How.... can
this be?
RIYAL
As I said
before, the temple grows in strength, and size as our minds blend together. We
must not linger here, any longer than we need to be, jack. As your mind remains
here. Your body slowly grows weaker and eventually it will wither and die. So
we must find what we are looking for. And quickly.
JACK WALKER
Your right,
enough staring at the scenery. Let's explore this place, and find some sort of
answers.
We follow as
jack finds a staircase. He carefully and slowly descends the staircase. He
reaches the bottom and finds some sort of ceremonial chamber. He spies sa huge
dark purple creature. He hides behind a pillar hoping he wasn't seen. And he
carefully makes his way into the chamber. We follow slowly as he enters the
chamber. The creature is chained to a ceremonial platform. It weakly lifts its
head and looks at jack
THE CREATURE
Ah! So you
have come at last. I did not think you had the strength to journey here, both
of you. Riyal you know who and what I am. I am the part of you which you have
suppressed for several millennia. The part your people vowed never to become
again, but you need that part of you, if you truly desire to restore our world,
and to stop pryius. Welcome, the human known as jack. You have journeyed here
for one reason, and one reason alone. To unlock your suppressed memory, and to
find the truth. I can aid you in this, only if you so wish.
JACK WALKER
I just want to
know the truth, I know some of it. But..... I just want to know everything.
Riyal has filled some of the gaps.... but it's still hazy.
THE CREATURE
Very well
then, jack. Please come forward. Do not be afraid, no harm will come to you.
(Jack steps forward, then stops at the ceremonial
platform.)
THE CREATURE
Look into my
eyes jack, see the buried memories. Let them come forth...
White flashes
are seen with blurred images jack winces in pain with each image.
JACK WALKER
Ah! Stop....
Please I C... can't take the pain! Riyal he.... Help me.
THE CREATURE
Do not fight
them, jack let them come forward. Trying to suppress them, will only make
things worse
(The blurred images get faster and faster,
jack screams in pain.)
RIYAL
That will
suffice for now!
The blurred
images get faster and faster. Jack still screams in pain.
RIYAL
ENOUGH! Are
you alright my friend?
(Jack slowly and awkwardly gets to his feet)
JACK WALKER
Yeah! I'm OK,
whoa! Talk about a head rush. I know everything! Pryius, brad, all of it. How could
they do this to me? And Jake! Brad set him up, all along. Even the first time
we tried the experiment, brad deliberately sabotaged the infusion inhibitor.
This regulates the flow of energy into the arc which amplifies, the source of
that energy.
RIYAL
I had
something to do with that too, jack. I was angry that I was entombed within the
arc. My will, to escape my enforced prison, was too great. And as you said, the
arc amplifies any energy source running through it. Hence the rather large
explosion.
Suddenly jack
bends over in slight pain.
JACK WALKER
Wh... What was
that?
(Jack bends over again in slight pain.)
JACK WALKER
What the hell?
FADE TO WHITE.

We see we are
back in the wasteland. Jack appears from nowhere and weakly gets to his feet.
Pryius is standing as if waiting for jack. He looks at him with evil grin.
Jacks eyes change to bright purple.
RIYAL
Pryius, we
meet again!
PRYIUS
I knew that
little jolt, would make you come to your senses, human.
JACK WALKER
I know
everything, pryius, you and brad working together. Your plan to take over my
planet, won't work. Our government will stop you in your tracks, as for brad.
Don't worry he's next on my list.
PRYIUS
Brad is of no
importance to me nor is your small insignificant government. Brad has played
the willing pawn so far. And he will be rewarded, but not the way he thinks. I
have promised him the greatest gift that could have ever been bestowed upon a
human. But he will soon realize, that great power comes at a price, and nothing
will stand in my way (laughs)
JACK WALKER
Forget it
pryius, it's over. I'm here to stop you once and for all. Even if that means
taking my own life. I've seen what you've done, you sick son of a..... All that
destruction, desecration, killing your own kind to fulfill your own sick
twisted desires. Your nothing more than a vicious cancerous parasite, spreading
death and disease, every where you go. Consuming every source of energy until there's
nothing left.
(Pryius clenches his fists. And scowls at
jack, in anger.)
I know what
you're thinking, pryius. You want to obliterate me... but you find me
interesting.
PRYIUS
True! I do
find you interesting, But, what interest I have, will soon fade. And your
pitiful planet, will soon... be mine!
RIYAL
Pryius, I
implore you. Please don't do this, what you are doing is total madness and
unconscionable, and will accomplish nothing. If you carry out this irrational
plan of yours, you will not only destroy our world. You will destroy the last
hope for our dying planet. Can't you hear it, pryius? Our planet screaming in
pain. Whimpering for help. If we do nothing, will wither, and then die.
PRYIUS
I think, you
are hearing things, old friend. Our planet, can die for all I care. It is no
longer a concern, to me. It has served its purpose, this planet is rich in
energy, and I can see it all around. It will soon belong to me, do not try and
oppose me, both of you. You shall be obliterated... in a heart beat.
Pryius
disappears into thin air
JACK WALKER
So, now what
do we do?
RIYAL
We must find
brad, and try and rescue him, before pryius gets to him, and kill him!
JACK WALKER
You think
pryius would do that?
RIYAL
You have
already seen first hand, what he is capable of jack!
Suddenly from
the distance see jets zooming in on jack.

SCENE 14- STEP
UP
Wasteland:(Unknown
Time)
Fade in
We are still
in the wasteland. Jack looks up at the incoming jets. He stares at them and
cocks his head to one side and thinks. But he knows something isn't quite right
about these jets.
JACK WALKER
Great! Just
great! This is just what I need right now. The army after my butt!
RIYAL
Jack! I sense
it's not your army, that has sent those jets, but someone we know all too well!
JACK WALKER
Pryius, right?
Something tells me, those jets aren't manned!
RIYAL
I'm afraid
that he has taken control of the jets, which you used for parts to build the
prototype for the arc. When NEI took over the abandoned hanger before you took
over the building, which the arc you had built now resides in. That the army
declassified, many years ago.
JACK WALKER
Yeah, let me
take a wild guess here; call it intuition if you will. But....If we don't stop
these jets, pryius sent to hinder our progress. Then brad is more or less dead
meat!
RIYAL
Correct, jack!
You now possess the abilities to stop anyone who poses a threat to us, I
believe they will come in three waves, take them all out so we can press on
(Jack destroy's the jets with ease)
CUT TO SIDE
VIEW
JACK WALKER
Well, that was
easier than I thought!
RIYAL
Don't be
easily fooled by pryius jack, and never under estimate him. He is more cunning
than you think. And, even more dangerous, we must proceed with caution jack. I
believe that he will test how far we are willing to go.
JACK WALKER
Riyal! You
should have a little more faith in me (laughs)
RIYAL
I do jack,
but.... I'm begging you please be careful. Let us proceed.
MOMENTS LATER:
We follow
jack as he flies into the city. But he
stops suddenly in mid-air. We drift behind him and wee see a large dark purple
dome covering the city. He is horrifed by this. He floats to the ground. and
walks up to the barrier.
JACK WALKER
What
the.......
RIYAL
I'm afraid we
are too late, once again jack
RIYAL
He has beaten
us to your city. Which the bunker is just outside your city limits as you call
it.
(Jack clench's his fists tightly)
JACK
WALKER(SHOUTING
I... REFUSE...
TO...GIVE UP!
His arms start
to glow brightly. Suddenly jack swings for the barrier and connects. The
barrier starts to crack then shatters into shards of glass they fall to the ground
abruptly.
RIYAL
Jack? Are
you... alright?
(Jack just stands there and says nothing, and
stares ahead)
RIYAL
Please jack,
listen to me. Pryius is trying, to get inside your mind, do not let him.
Otherwise, he will poison your mind, with unwanted thoughts. Of anger, hate,
resentment. To all living things, and people, who you care for. I know how it
feels, to be betrayed, to give in to your emotions jack. My kind, gave into
such emotions, jack. I soon realized, this was pryius's doing, all along.
JACK WALKER
(ANGRILY)
You, don't
know a god damn thing about me, you're just some lousy experiment, which went
wrong. Ever since you have been with me, you're nothing more, than a parasite.
That need's eradicating.
RIYAL
Jack please,
pryius is within your mind, I can sense him. Fight him, he will not give in,
until he has complete control over you. For once in your life, fight back. Ever
since you were a young boy, you have let people walk all over you. And when you
started out as a junior scientist at NEI, you have let brad, and the others use
you... like a doormat
Jack clench's
his fists he starts shaking uncontrollably. His eye's flicker from bright to
dark purple.
JACK WALKER
G... GET
OUT.... OF... M... MY... MIIIIIIIND!
RIYAL
Are you...
alright jack?
JACK WALKER
(PANTING)
Yeah...
I'll... I'll be fine. That was the hardest thing, I've ever had to do. He was
trying, to take over. I need to sit down.
RIYAL
I'm afraid we
have no time, to sit and rest jack. We must, stop pryius otherwise, he will
carry out his plan. Conquering your world, and making it his own. Once he has
achieved this. He will infect, you're fellow humans, with what he calls... his
children. Jack I know, that brad has treated you badly in the past, but he must
not suffer death so horribly, what pryius will do to him, his body, and mind
won't be able, to handle the change.
JACK WALKER
What change?
Don't tell me he intends to..... Oh, crap!
RIYAL
Indeed jack!
JACK WALKER
Alright, I'll
rescue him but, eventually . He'll have to die, and by my hand.
RIYAL
If you still
feel that way jack, so be it. I will not stop you, shall we?
We follow jack
until he reaches the bunker. He stops and ponders how to get into the bunker.
JACK
WALKER(CALMLY)
So, how do you
want me to do this?
RIYAL
As with NEI
jack!
JACK WALKER
I think, he'll
be expecting a sneak attack, and on the other hand. He'll expect a head on
attack, damn it!
RIYAL
There is, one
way we could enter the building!
JACK WALKER
How?
RIYAL
It is, a power
we ryhillians suppressed millennia ago. And we forgot, to re-awaken this power.
You call it, imitation. It requires, focus, channelling all your power, and
will, into your mind. It is dangerous yes, but if you manage to awaken this
power, it can be used to...
JACK WALKER
Yeah, I know.
To my advantage. How long does it last, if I'm able to, awaken this power?
RIYAL
It will, drain
your health, slowly. Use it with extreme caution jack, but do not worry, for I
will stop it, if you go too far.
Jack nods then
closes his eyes.
Jacks eyes
snap open they briefly flash purple
RIYAL
How do you
feel jack?
JACK WALKER
I think it
worked, so now what do I do?
RIYAL
Conjure an
image of pryius, in your minds eye, then it will happen.
Jack stares
ahead he clenches his fists tightly.
Jack begins to
glow purple. The glow gets brighter and brighter. A huge bright purple flash is
seen. We see jack has taken on the form of pryius. He looks at himself.
JACK WALKER
What? This...
is impossible!
RIYAL
I am
astounded, jack. I didn't honestly believe, you had the power within you to
accomplish such a very difficult task, such as this. Now that you have
awakened, this ancient power, lost to us long ago. You have the means to rescue
brad.

SCENE 15- BRAD
UNDONE
Bunker:(Night)
Fade in
We see jack
still in the form of pryius. He is staring at the entrance wondering how to
gain access to the bunker
RIYAL
Why so
hesitant, jack? You now have the means to get inside. But you still have
doubts, about your new found abilities, and your humanity. You feel you may
lose your humanity, jack. I can sense it, within you. You have nothing to fear
my friend. True, you will eventually become alien, body and mind but....you
will not loose the essence of your humanity. A small portion of that essence,
will remain.
JACK WALKER
What if I
can't do it, riyal? What if I cant rescue brad, what if I let him die, by
pryius turning him!
RIYAL
Jack, even
though brad has cruelly used you, he should not suffer the fate that pryius has
planned for him. He should not, suffer death so painfully, what pryius will do
to him if we do not hurry. We must get inside but….. He will be expecting us.
(Jack finds a way into the bunker.)
CUT TO: INT.
BUNKER
We are inside
the bunker. Jack is looking around at his surroundings. We see a guard running
up to jack. Who quickly falls[ for his deception
GUARD
Sir? We didn't
expect you back so soon!
JACK WALKER
Yes... But I
have to make sure things are going, according to plan. How is our... guest,
comfortable? But secure, I hope!
GUARD
Yes, sir! We
have contained him within the power station. As your instructions.
JACK WALKER
Excellent! You
may go about your duties, now!
The guard
walks away.
A bright
purple flash is seen and jack is back to his onrmal self
JACK WALKER
What?.... Why
can't I change back?
RIYAL(WHISPERS)
J..... Jack...
You... where pryius for.... Too long... I tried to... sustain the illusion, as
long as.... I could, but... I'm afraid..... You will have to... explore the
bunker yourself... until I have regained... my strength... do not worry... you
will still have... unsurpassed physical strength.
Jack runs to
the power station. Stopping occasionally to hide from guards. He stops, when he
reaches the power station, and looks left and right to see if any guards are
coming. He rips off the doors and steps through. We see are shadow on the wall
and slithering. We turn to see the figure its brad. But he has changed into a horrific
being.
JACK WALKER
Brad? What
has, happened to you?
BRAD PETERSON
Don't you
recognize me?
JACK WALKER
How could you
let pryius corrupt you like this? Don't you realize, that he intends, to kill
you? By turning you into....
BRAD PETERSON
Ha! Pathetic words
from a mere human. I am beyond death, jack! You're just jealous that Pryius
picked me, instead of you.
JACK WALKER
Have you gone
insane? You are just a pawn, in his game. Can't you see that you, are just
being used? And when you have become useless, he will discard you, like some
rag. Brad please, listen to me.... I can help you, to free your mind and body,
from pryius's poi....
Brad unleash's
an energy bolt which hits jack so hard that he stumbles and falls.
BRAD PETERSON
Never! Listen
to me, jack. I have attained immortality, a gift I never thought. That could be
bestowed upon his... son!
JACK WALKER
What?
BRAD
PETERSON(LAUGHS)
Yes jack, I am
no longer human. My memories are fading. I will forget even you. And will
become something far greater than you could have possibly im.... What? Wh...
what is happening to... me?
Brad shakes
uncontrollably. His skin turns to black as does eyes. Jack steps back horrified
what is happening. Brad looks at Jack, who shudders at the sorry state brad has
become.
BRAD PETERSON(SHOUTING)
STOP WHAT
YOU'RE DOING JACK, YOU'RE TRYING TO CHANGE ME!!
A battle
ensues. Jack slowly overcomes brad.
BRAD PETERSON(WHISPERS)
Y... You
will.. Pay for this... j... jack...
(Brad dies. From nowhere pryius appears)
PRYIUS
My... son!
What have you done to him!
JACK WALKER
Freed him from
the madness, that you had so forcefully, bestowed upon him.
PRYIUS
I made him
something more than a mere human. He was... beyond death, no more thinking
that, he would no longer exist.
JACK WALKER.
What gives you
that right, to play god with peoples lives, pryius!
PRYIUS
(ANGRILY)
And what makes
you so different. That day you descended, from the sky. And forced these rules,
upon both our races!
JACK WALKER
I had saved
you... from yourselves pryius. You were both destroying each other. I could no
longer, just stand and watch. I had no other choice, but to intervene.
PRYIUS
Face it jack.
You still are no threat to me. No matter how much power, you wield. I can see
into your mind, jack! Now that you have the power, you want to change what
happened to your.... Mother (laughs)
JACK WALKER
You no nothing
about my mother. Yes I lost her when I was young, but that still doesn't change
the fact, that I can stop her from dying. No matter how much, I want to.
PRYIUS
Weak! That's
all you humans are, especially you jack. You remind me of the ryhillians. I see
the same weakness, within you. Even though, you possess great power and
knowledge. You are, no danger to me.
Pryius
unleash's an energy bolt. It hits jack hard.

COMING TO AHEAD
Desert:(Unknown
Time)
Fae in
We are back in
the desert. We see jack lying unconceiouss. He stirs and uneasily gets back. He
looks suprised at his surroundings.
JACK WALKER
What the....?
RIYAL
Jack?
JACK WALKER
What?
RIYAL
How did you do
it?
JACK WALKER
Do what?
RIYAL
Leave your
corporeal form!
JACK WALKER
What do you
mean by that?
RIYAL
When pryius
blasted you, it had, a significant effect on you... You...Evolved
JACK
WALKER(SURPRISED)
What?....
RIYAL
Your body,
somehow absorbed the energy, which had accelerated our ability to evolve.
JACK WALKER
So why, are we
inside my mind?
RIYAL
We are not
inside your mind jack. By accelerating your evolution, your power has increased
exponentially. And you were able, to create the te...
We the temple
fading in and out then splitting into two. One dark one light. Jack looks on in
horror. He is angry because he knows who has done this.
JACK WALKER
Pryius, this
is his doing!
RIYAL
How did you
know, jack?
JACK WALKER
I sensed it,
just after he blasted me. Before I, slipped into unconsciousness. For just a
brief second, I read his mind. He knew that if I was dead. I'd be no threat, to
him. Little does he know, that I have survived. And he will pay... So, what
now?
RIYAL
We...
A mist-like
form is seen floating out of jack. It splits in two. We see the mist-like form
rushed into the two temples. All jack can do is look on in shock.
JACK WALKER
Riyal? Riyal!
(An echoed voice issues out of nowhere.)
RIYAL
Do not be
afraid jack. I am still here. But I have been separated, as you had seen. You
must find me, jack. You must enter both temples, and absorb me. You can choose,
to enter either temple. As soon as you choose, which temple to enter. I will
transport you inside.
CUT TO INT.
TEMPLE(LIGHT OR DARK)
(Depends the following dialogue)
LIGHT
JACK WALKER
Pure,
unrefined energy! I can feel it all around me! Riyal?
(Riyals voice issues out of nowhere)
RIYAL
Yes jack, I am
here. As you can sense, this temple has been uncorrupted. I must tell you jack,
something horrible has happen... To your mind...
JACK WALKER
What!
RIYAL
Your mind is
now symbiotic, living within you, and outside you. But your mind, is now poisend.
You must... hurry jack. Otherwise, you will never recover. Your mind, being
entwined with mine, cannot survive without each other. As I know your thoughts,
your body cannot live, without the mind. As our minds and body are one. They,
cannot survive alone. Find me, jack... but hurry!
Riyal appears
from nowhere. Jack turns to greet him but is knows something isn't right.
JACK WALKER
Riyal?....
Riyal growls
at jack who fires an energy blast at jack who in turn rolls out of harms way
and returns fire. Riyal shatter's into tiny pieces of purple light.
JACK WALKER(HORRIFIED)
Riyal! What
have I done!
(Riyals voice issues out of nowhere)
RIYAL
Do not fret,
jack. They are, put simply guardians. Who have taken on my form.
They will try
to obliterate you, which I cannot stop them from doing. To them you are, a
threat to me. Use what I have taught you jack. You know well who I am....
Afraid...of. Reach the lower level of the temple but hurry.
Jack heeds the
warning, and runs to the lower temple knocking guardians easily out of his way.
We follow as he enters a ceremonial chamber. Riyal is chained at the center. He
weakly raises his head and smiles weakly at jack.
CUT TO SIDE
VIEW.
RIYAL
I knew you
would find me jack. As you can see, my chains are not what they seem.
JACK WALKER
I'm glad your
ok pal, so how do get I get these damn chains off you!
RIYAL
It is all a
matter of focus jack.
Jack stares at
the chains, and his eyes flash purple briefly. The chains abruptly fall to the
floor
RIYAL
I
am...Released.
Riyal turns
back into mist-form and floats towards jack who absorbs him.
RIYAL
How do you
feel, jack?
JACK WALKER
Better! But I
still don't feel like myself.
RIYAL
You will soon
enough Jack. Once we have, been to the other temple. But be on your guard jack.
Jack
disappears in a purple flash
CUT TO INT.
DARK TEMPLE
We see jack
fading in from thin air. The temple is in total darkness. All we see is jacks
purple eyes straining against the darkness.
JACK WALKER
(LAUGHS)
At least,I can
see in the dark!
RIYAL
That will be
the only thing, you will be able to do jack.
JACK WALKER
Meaning?
RIYAL
The guardians
which now reside within this temple, are now dark creatures jack. They will
kill you. If you even use your gift. They know you are here but, they know they
are no match for you. I must warn you. They are starved of energy here. They
can sense, all kinds of energy. If you try,to use your gift. They will...drain
ALL your life energy from, your body while you're still.....Alive
JACK
WALKER(SHOCKED)
What?!
RIYAL
Yes jack they
will allow, you to explore this temple. But they will not allow, you to find me
with your gift.
Suddenly the
temple begins to shake.
JACK WALKER
What's happening?
We hear an
inhuman shrill scream.
RIYAL
We are too
late jack. They have crushed, my other self's psyche. We must go. He is beyond
saving.
Jack fires an
energy blast at the ceiling which huge chunks
of it come crashing down. We hear something slithering behind jack who
turns round to see three dark creatures ready to pounce.
DARK CREATURE
1
There he is!
DARK CREATURE
2
The vile one
DARK CREATURE
3
Stop him.
Jack rockets
up and through the ceiling he flies to a safe distance and lands. He watches in
sadness as both temples crumble to dust.
RIYAL
We where too
late!
JACK WALKER
What happened?
RIYAL
My other self
could not, hold out for us. To rescue him. The influence within the dark
temple... was too great. He finally succumbed, to its influence.
JACK WALKER
I don't think,
that he did riyal. He knew that he had little time left. His strength was being
leeched, by those...things.
RIYAL
I... know he
has done...the right thing! It is time we stopped pryius jack. But to do this
you, must fully awaken the power within you. You're eyes are open jack but, you
are not fully awake. You must wake up jack. Who, are you jack?
JACK WALKER
My...
name...is....Rahaan.
Jack closes
his eyes in deep thought. Several moments pass then his eyes snap open.
RIYAL
Jack?
JACK WALKER
No,it is I.
RIYAL
Rahaan?...

would find me...old friend.

FINAL SCENE-
SHOWDOWN
City
Streets:(Dusk)
Fade in
We are back in
the city streets jack who is now rahaan is walking slowly. Looking at his sorroundings
but knowing know he feels a stranger.
RAHAAN
I still feel
jack, within my mind. It is a strange sensation to say the least. Thank you
riyal. For finding me. I know everything, that has happened to me. From leaving
the planet I had created. And the birth of both races. But I can't recall, how
I came to be on that other planet. And working for that, energy company.
RIYAL
I knew I
would, find you enlightened one. But as you know I was drained by my long
journey. I did not apprehend, that pryius would stumble across the conduit
also. And follow me through.
RAHAAN
Ah, pryius! He
would have made, a fine historian one day. But finding what he did I did not
see coming. As you know riyal, I watched over all of you. But in disguise. I
had watched pryius becoming more...distant. Several days had gone by before, I
sensed something wasn't right.
RIYAL
Yes! He would
always go to the caverns, just outside the northwest province to study. For
solitude.
RAHAAN
I agree! But
as I watched him sitting there, writing his notes. Hour's seem to pass slowly.
I was ready to leave, until... His eye caught some writing, on the cavern wall.
I knew what he had seen. The very beginnings of, both races and who I really
was. You know the rest, riyal.
RIYAL
Do you, truly
believe pryius, will do the right thing, enlightened one. What I have seen, and
what my friend jack has witnessed, the only thing on his mind. Is total
domination of both worlds
RAHAAN
I know, deep
down. He still, has goodness within him. I believe that he will make the right
choice. He has no alternative. Small sacrifices must be made, to save the dying
planet including...Ours!
RIYAL
(SURPRISED)
What!
RAHAAN
I'm afraid we
have to old friend. If the planet has some, small chance of surviving. If
pryius doesn't choose to sacrifice is life. Then I must fight him, until he has
no...
Suddenly the
ground starts to shake violently. Rahaan spies pryius opening a conduit. Pryius
turns and see Rahaan. He smiles cunningly at him. And turns back to concentrate
on the conduit
RIYAL
We must hurry
enlightened one. He has, opened the conduit.
Rahaan nods
and runs to where pryius is standing.
PRYIUS
I commend you
jack, you have proven to be more resourceful, than I thought. But I am afraid,
you are too late, to stop me. Once I, enter this conduit, and destroy the
planet... Your planet, will be mine...Forever! Take one, last look at your
world jack. It's the only, chance, you'll get
Rahaan
unleashes and energy bolt. It sends pryius hurtling along the ground. He uneasily
get's back to his feet.
PRYIUS (SURPRISED)
What? How
can...this be!
RAHAAN
I am no longer
the human, known as jack pryius.
PRYIUS
Rahaan...?
RAHAAN
Yes! What has
become of you pryius? You were a, fine historian. But what you had found, was
not for eyes at least... Not yet!
Pryius shakes
his head, then scowls at Rahaan
PRYIUS
Whoever you
are jack or...rahann. It does not matter, you are too late.
Pryius jumps
through the conduit, so does rahaan.
Fade to black
Fade in
Alien
Planet:(Unknown Time)
We see the
conduit opening. Pryius jumps through then so does rahaan. They both change
into alien forms. Pryius's is black with dull purple eyes. Rahaan's is bright
purple with eyes the same. Pryius grins psychotically. Rahaan just stares at
him.
PRYIUS
Welcome to the
planets final hour. Witness the dying moments, of our doomed planet. You are
too late to stop it. (Cackles)
RAHAAN
Pryius listen
to me. It's not too late, to do the right thing. I sense within you, you still
hold the essence. Of your former self. You still can make the right choice
pryius. Please don't make me force you. Into doing the right thing.
PRYIUS
Never! This
planet can die for all I care. It has never done, me any favors.
RAHAAN
It gave you
life pryius! And with it, a high intelligence. And gave you, a purpose in life.
Either you sacrifice your energy, or I will make you.
PRYIUS
(SHOUTING)
NEVER!!
(A battle ensues)
Rahann and
pryius charge at each other. Both with energy flaring from there arms. Pryius
fires first. Rahaan dodges and retaliates in kind. It hits pryius hard who
briefly spasms. He turns and charges screaming some-sort of battle cry. Rahaan
turns and sees him coming. He builds up a huge energy bolt and in slow motion
lets it connect with pryius. We return to speed to see pryius fall and skid
across the planets crust. Rahaan walks up to him.
RAHAAN
What is your
answer pryius.
PRYIUS
(WEAKLY)
Ne... N...
Ugh...Ah... Never!
RAHAAN
So be it!
Rahaan kneels
down and places his hand on pryius's chest. He draws his life energy from him.
Pryius lets out a silent scream as his life is taken away from him. After the
last of his energy is drawn from his body it go's limp. Rahaan thrusts his hand
into the crust and releases the energy. He gingerly takes his hand out.
RIYAL
It is, not
enough enlightened one. The planet needs more, if it is too heal. I must
sacrifice my energy.
RAHAAN
No riyal.
RIYAL
I am afraid,
this is the only way. If I am successful you will wake, in your own world. With
no memory of this. Goodbye...Rahaan
RAHAAN
(SHOUTING)
NOOOOOOO!
Riyal forces
rahaans hand again into the crust. We see a bright purple light creep quickly
down his arm and into the planet. A ground trembling is seen and heard. Before
a cataclysmic explosion is heard.

Hospital:(Morning)
We are back
inside the room where jack was before. He is still badly bruised. Mike Allen
and the two other men are standing over him watching him. He stirs and wakes
upright. Jack is confused at his surroundings. He smiles weakly at Mike and
lays back down on the bed
MIKE ALLEN
Ah you're
awake, thought we lost for a second there.
JACK WALKER
What happened?
MIKE ALLEN
I'll debrief
you, when you're better.
Mike and the
two men exit the room. Jack turns to the window and looks up at the clear blue
sky. His eyes flash briefly purple.
