HUNDREDS OF DEAD SOLDIERS ON A
RAINSOAKED AND DESOLATE
MOUNTAINSIDE WASTELAND STANDS
HEROICLY FACING THREE CRIMSON
COLOURED THADETH DEMONS AS THEY
HOVER IN THE AIR. THE SKY IS PITCH
BLACK AND THUNDER ECHOES
CONTINUOSLY AS LIGHTNING STRIKES
THE GROUND HARD FROM ALL ANGLES.
LORD VALIANT’S FINE SILVER HAIR AND
TURQUOISE TUNIC BLOW VIOLENTLY
AGAINST THE WIND]
NITRO VO:
This is where it all started; Lord Valiant, a
magnificent man and hero of our people courageously
fending off the Thadeth demons after the loss of his
entire army.
LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Demons!! Your reign of terror ends here!!
This will be your final stand!! You may have put an
end to my men’s lives but their spirits live on!!!
The Indomitable will of the Carisian people will
endure!!
THADETH DEMONS:
Alllll who opposssssse mussssssttt diiiiiie.
[THE DEMONS AND LORD VALIANT SLOWLY
STARE EACH OTHER IN THE EYE AS LORD
VALIANT’S HAND CAUTIOUSLY MOVES
TOWARDS A BRIGHT BLUE CRYSTAL
HIDDEN INSIDE HIS TUNIC]
NITRO VO:
It was all or nothing; defeat would have meant the
complete annihilation of our people at the hands of
those terrible demons and surrender was not an
option. Our entire army had gone into battle and all
had fallen. Our only hope was the Crystal of Kinaar
Valiant kept in his tunic for it was the gateway to
an inescapable mystical prison and the only chance of
victory.
THADETH DEMONS:
Deattthhhh to the Carissssiaanssssss.
LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Have at thee!!!
[THE THADETH DEMONS LAUNCH INTO AN
ATTACK CONSISTING OF TWO DEMONS

CLAWS WHILE THE THIRD FIRES BRIGHT

OF HIS SPEED AND AGILITY TO EVADE
THE ATTACKS]
JADE VO:
But these demons were well; demons; and they were too
quick for Valiant to get close enough to use it on
them! He had to think smart.
[LORD VALIANT GRABS A SHIELD AND
SWORD FROM A FALLEN SOLDIER AND
USES THE SHIELD TO BLOCK THE ENERGY
BLASTS WHILE SWINGING WITH THE
SWORD AS HE RACES ACROSS THE
BATTLEFIELD. THE DEMONS HIT LORD
VALIANT WITH A THREE PRONGED ATTACK
CONSISTING OF AN ENERGY BLAST, CLAW
SWIPE AND FIERCE PUNCH AGAINST THE
SHIELD WHICH SENDS HIM FLYING
ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD BEFORE
COLLIDING HARD AGAINST THE SIDE OF
THE MOUNTAIN. HE LOOKS UP HEAVING
AND PANTING WITH PURE DEFIANCE IN
HIS EYES]
NITRO VO:
Valiant’s brilliant tactical mind spotted an opening
in the demon’s defenses and struck with the
ruthlessness and cunning for which he is so fondly
remembered!
LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Stasis!!!
[AS LORD VALIANT DRAMATICALLY
THRUSTS HIS HANDS INTO THE AIR AN
AMBER COLOURED TRANSLUCENT ENERGY
SHIELD ENCIRCLES TIGHTER AND
TIGHTER AROUND THE DEMONS AND HOLDS
THEM FIRMLY IN ONE SPOT. THIS
CAUSES LORD VALIANT GREAT STRAIN TO
MAINTAIN. HE THEN RUNS AT FULL
SPEED TOWARDS THE DEMONS AND
THRUSTS HIS ARM THROUGH THE ENERGY

AGAINST THE FIRST DEMON’S STOMACH]
LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Entrapment!!!

ENVELOP THE DEMONS AT AN ALARMING

[LORD VALIANT DRIVES HIS HAND INTO
THE ROCKY GROUND AND IS INSTANTLY

TELEPORTED 100 METRES AWAY FROM THE
DEMONS. HE CEREMONIOUSLY UNSHEAVES
THE CRYSTAL, PLACES IT IN FRONT OF
HIM ON THE GROUND; DROPS HIS SHIELD
AND SWORD THEN FALLS TO HIS KNEES

[A BRIGHT BLUE LIGHT BEGINS TO
EMINATE FROM THE CRYSTAL OF KINAAR

THEMSELVES]
JADE:
And so began the legendary incantation of enclosure;
Valiant would have only one chance of success. It was
all or nothing.
LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Nakhubaar El Maraphet!!……
[THE CRYSTAL OF KINAAR SLOWLY
STARTS TO RISE INTO THE AIR AS THE
LIGHT EMANATING FROM IT BURNS
BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER. THE ENERGY
SHIELD AROUND THE DEMONS BEGINS TO
FADE AS THE VINES CONSTRICTING THEM
START TO SNAP]
LORD VALIANT:

[THE CRYSTAL RISES TO A FIXED
POSITION FIVE FEET ABOVE LORD
VALIANT’S HEAD WITH ITS LIGHT

LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Zarazim Elios Nakaramesh!!!!!
[THE THREE DEMONS RACE TOWARDS LORD
VALIANT BUT AN INTENSE BEAM OF BLUE
ENERGY DARTS FROM THE CRYSTAL AND
STOPS THEM IN THEIR TRACKS]
LORD VALIANT:
(SHOUTING) Never again shall your maniacal villany
bring pain and darkness to the hearts the Carisian
people! Be gone into your eternal prison of anguish!!
Be gone demons!!
[MOLECULE BY MOLECULE THE DEMONS
ARE BROKEN DOWN AND SUCKED INTO THE

ARE SUCKED INTO THE CRYSTAL. ONCE
THEY ARE INSIDE, LORD VALIANT

THUNDER, RAIN AND LIGHTNING CLEARS

So everybody lived happily ever after, right?
[SCORES OF VERY SCRUFFY AND UNKEMPT
LOOKING VILLAGERS ARE ON THEIR
KNEES PREYING TO STATUES OF THE
THADETH DEMONS IN A WORN DOWN AND
RUSTIC LOOKING TEMPLE]
NITRO VO:
Not exactly; you see there was a large group of
separatists within our people who actually thought
that the Thadeth were good. These people were against
the increased used of machina in our society and
believed the Thadeth to be kind gods who would keep
our people in a pre-industrialized and harmonious
state.
REEYUKEE VO:
So weren’t they annoyed about them being locked up?
[WE SEE SHOTS OF MEDIEVAL STREET
RIOTS AND POLITICAL DEBATES. LOTS
OF PEOPLE SHOUTING AND LOOKING
ANGRY]
NITRO VO:
You bet; tensions began to build between those who
thought the Thadeth were evil and those who believed
they were good! The nation was split right down the
middle!
[WHILE WALKING THROUGH A CROWDED
MARKETPLACE, A DRABLY CLOTHED MALE
SEPARATIST (33) SWINGS WILDLY AT
LORD VALIANT WITH A SWORD. LORD
VALIANT SWIFTLY EVADES AND PLACES
THE MAN IN AN ARM LOCK]
JADE VO:
The Separatists made it clear that they wanted the
Thadeth released at all costs. This led to a surge of
violent attacks between both sides and even an
assassination attempt on Lord Valiant’s life.
Eventually the separatists were expelled from
Carisian society.

[LORD VALIANT NOW SITTING ON A
PLUSH THRONE IN A LAVISH MEDIEVAL
THRONE ROOM AND FLANKED BY SCORES

SEPERATISTS TO LEAVE]
NITRO VO:
Things were terrible for the separatists after that.
The region they relocated to was plagued with famine,
drought, ion storms and hurricanes.
REEYUKEE VO:
Didn’t you help them?
NITRO VO:
We tried! We tried to help them but they wouldn’t
accept it!
JADE VO:
The Hydracite, as they now called themselves; refused
to take any charity from “Carisian scum”.
[THE THADETH DEMONS REPEATEDLY FIRE
BRIGHT GREEN BLASTS OF ENERGY AT A
FIXED POINT WHILE INSIDE THE
CRYSTAL. THIS CAUSES A TREMENDOUS
EXPLOSION. THEY THEN TELEPORT A

VIOLENTLY IMBUE HIM WITH COSMIC
POWER AMIDST A MAELSTROM OF ENERGY]
JADE VO CONT:
Anyway after almost a thousand years of trying to
break free from the crystal, The Thadeth managed to
create a small fissure in the structure of its energy
matrix!
NITRO VO:
It wasn’t big enough for them to escape-
JADE VO:
(Interrupting) But it was big enough for them to pull
a young man from the Hydracite inside and give him
all the sorcery and power that he’d need to defeat
our people and finally destroy the crystal.

NITRO:
That man; was General Destructor, he’s an evil and
maniacal tyrant who will not rest until he sees the
entire Carisian Empire reduced to a smouldering pile
of ash.
TIVATT:
General Destructor appears to be a most benevolent
fellow, quite the resplendent individual.
REEYUKEE:
Erm, what does resplendent mean?
TIVATT:
Backsters dictionary defines resplendent to mean
Dazzling, magnificent, or glorious.
REEYUKEE:
Oh… so he’s not resplendent, he’s a monster.
TIVATT:
Correct; I was being ironical.
REEYUKEE:
Oh… wait, what does ironic-

Last cycle, the Carisian supreme government issued
the deployment of 3 satellites to scan the world for
new deposits of the vastly depleting isotope,
Raritanium! Raritanium as you all know is the prime
source of fuel in our empire and therefore the
backbone of our entire economy! Without it; Carisian
enterprise worldwide would grind to a halt!

routes between Caris and each of these nations before
the Hydracite can get to them first! Our mission is;
to escort a small fleet of mining and construction
vessels to the mountains of Graath where the first
route and mining outpost base will be established!

Oh, so what you said about General Destructor being
benevolent was a joke!
TIVATT:
Indeed. Your observational skills are improving.

You know Tivatt it would be much easier if you’d just
use words I can understand.

Just a minute ma’am; the frequencial amplifier isn’t
at optimum efficiency!

REEYUKEE:
Tivatt; I can’t do this!
TIVATT:
Self doubt serves only to hinder you from accessing
your true abilities. Believe in yourself and you will
always achieve your goal.
[TO DODGE AN ATTACK; REEYUKEE IS

Those beings are the creature’s natural antibodies.
REEYUKEE:
Huh!?

TIVATT:
They are the entity’s natural defenses; their primary
function is to neutralize external threats to their
host organism.
REEYUKEE:
But that’s me!!!
TIVATT:
Correct.
REEYUKEE:
How do I beat them?!
TIVATT:
With your Magnetron gloves; the electromagnetic
resonance they emit will add power to your physical
attacks.
REEYUKEE:
Speak English!!!
TIVATT:
Charge your gloves and beat the creatures to dust.

MONSTER’S ARM TO THE FLOOR AND
LANDS WITH A DYNAMIC ROLL]
REEYUKEE:
Tivatt; this is impossible!

TIVATT:
Incorrect; you were unsuccessful in your previous
attempts because of your inefficient use of time.
REEYUKEE:
Can’t you help me yet?! How long before your circuits
heal!?
TIVATT:
Precisely 8 minutes.
REEYUKEE:
No!!!
TIVATT:
I will plot a safe travel path along the entity’s
body leading to the crystal and upload the data to
your infravisor. Follow this route and ensure that
you reach each waypoint within the allotted time.

Ok!
