SYM XSCENE 1- THE AWAKENING

FADE IN FROM CUT SCENE. THE CAMERA IS PANNING UP THE SIDE OF A FUTURISTICBUILDING, SLOWING TO A STOP AS IT REACHES THE TOP. SLOWLY ZOOMS IN ON ATALL MUSCULAR FIGURE, WHO IS STOOD LOOKING DOWN AT ANOTHER BUILDING INTHE BACKGROUND. THE CAMERA MOVES FORWARD SLOWLY AS THE DAUNTING FIGURE TURNS

AROUND, AS IF SENSING SOMETHING BEHIND IT, AND SPEAKS AS IT FACES THE CAMERASCOWLING.

VOICE

You reporters are more persistent than I thought. Want to know if Ill strikeagain, do we?! (Laughs) But I know why you have tracked me down, even thoughit has taken you so long. You want to know why and when it happened; Verywell, it all started three years ago when I was... Human!

FADE TO WHITE AND A CUT SCENE ENSUES. FADE IN FROM WHITE, WITH THE CAMERAPANNING DOWN THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF A BUILDING WITH HIGHLY ADVANCEDTECHNOLOGY OPENLY ON DISPLAY. THE CAMERA STOPS AT A GLASS CEILING, LOOKINGDOWN ON TWO SCIENTISTS GOING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS AROUND A LARGE ARC-SHAPED

DEVICE, RUNNING CHECKS AND DIAGNOSTICS, AS THE PROTAGONIST NARRATES.

JACK WALKERI 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 energysource we had found on one of our routine excavations at a known site, butthis 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 waslimitless, or so we thought

CUT TO WIDE VIEW.

SCIENTIST 1

All diagnostics, system checks complete sir.

SCIENTIST 2All non-essential systems have been shut off, sir. Power levels are at onehundred percent. Ready when you are, sir.

JACK WALKER

OK, but we do it by the book. Start the infusion sequence slowly, thenincrease energy infusion by two percent.

(The camera follows the scientists as they carry out their orders.)

SCIENTIST 2

Power fluctuating sir, comp...

JACK WALKERWhat the hell?! Someone tell me what just happened! In fact dont. Computer,report!

COMPUTER VOICEUnknown anomaly detected in X5/227

JACK WALKERWhat anomaly?!

COMPUTER VOICE

Insufficient data. Scans report intelligent life-form within energy source

JACK WALKERWhat kind... life-form?

COMPUTER VOICEInsufficient data. Power levels increasing. Unable to initiate shut-downprocedure. Evacuate immediately. Blast door will close in T-minus oneminute

(Jack turns to face the two scientists.)

JACK WALKERYou two get out of here! Thats an order!

THE CAMERA CUTS TO VIEW FROM BEHIND AS WE SEE THE SCIENTISTS RUN TO ANDTHROUGH A LARGE BLAST DOOR. AT THE SAME TIME THE BLAST DOOR SLAMS SHUT.

JACK WALKER (TO HIMSELF)OK (cracks his knuckles) Lets do this! Computer access procedure 1.5-277alpha!

COMPUTER VOICEAccess denied. Power levels reaching crit......

(From out of nowhere a large explosion erupts as the large arched shapeddevice explodes, at the same time a bright purple electrical discharge isseen rushing towards Jack. It hits him so violently that he struggles toremain on his feet, as the camera fades to black.)

SCENE 2- THE VOICE

WHITE FLASH IN. THE CAMERA IS IN FIRST PERSON VIEW AS WE SEE A BRIGHT LIGHT,WITH OUR HANDS SHIELDING THE LIGHT FROM OUR EYES. WE SIT UP GROGGILY - THECAMERA IS BLURRY TO ILLUSTRATE THIS - THEN COMES INTO FOCUS AS WE SEE OUR

SURROUNDINGS. WE ARE IN A HOSPITAL, WITH NURSES AND DOCTORS GOING ABOUTTHERE BUSINESS AROUND US, AND FIND THAT TWO MEN IN SUITS ARE STANDING IN

FRONT OF US.

MAN 1

Ah, youre awake. Ill leave you two to talk.

(Man 1 exits the room.)

JACK WALKERMy head (groans) What..? Where..? Where am I? How did I get here?

MAN 2

You where brought here by our people. Dont 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 ALLENYes, unfortunately, but we have more pressing issues to discuss! The board

wants to know what happened at the lab. You know the procedure, Jack. Whatyou tell me in this room will be just between you and me.

JACK WALKER

Mike, I wish I could but... Its all a blur. All I can remember is thefusion sequence was compromised somehow.

MIKE ALLENGo on.

JACK WALKERI wish I could, Mike (smiles weakly) But my head hurts too much. Once Iclear the cobwebs Ill beep you OK

MIKE ALLENOkay. Get some rest and Ill come back and see you.

(Mike Allen exits the room.)

JACK WALKER (To Himself)

Finally, some peace and quiet. Ill catch forty winks and Ill be rightas(From nowhere a mysterious voice is heard.)

VOICESo, youre 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 thevoice is coming from.)

JACK WALKER

Who are you?! Are you a hallucination? Or have all my years of exposureto strange energy sources made me flip!

VOICE (Laughs)You humans are all the same. When you hear voices you think you are goingmad, and you tell yourself they are not real. Believe me when I tell youhuman I am very real.

JACK WALKERSay you are real. What do you want with me?!

VOICEI have no time to explain just yet. We must escape this place. In time youwill see who your true friends and enemies are. We must hurry. That humanwith 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 WALKERWait! Before we go anywhere, my name is Jack, not Human okay?!

VOICEAs you wish Jack! Now, lets get out of this place.

THE CAMERA CUTS TO A SIDE VIEW. JACK WEAKLY GETS TO HIS FEET, AND SLOWLY

STARTS TO WALK. THE CAMERA CUTS TO FIRST PERSON VIEW AS HE CATCHES SIGHTOF HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR. AS WE PEER INTO THE MIRROR OUR EYES CHANGE SLOWLYTO BRIGHT PURPLE, THEN BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO SIDEVIEW AS JACK LOOKS AT HIMSELF. HE IS PAINFULLY THIN WITH A LOOK OF SHOCKON HIS FACE.

VOICEAs you see, Jack, I am no mere hallucination. Youre wondering why yourappearance 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 yourstrength in time. But we must escape! There is an exit on the other sideof 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 Jacks shoulder. Jack grabs the doctors handas the camera cuts in from behind, and he is sent flying into a empty room.The doctor slams violently into a cupboard and collapses on the floorunconscious. The camera cuts to a wide side view as other doctors, nursesand patients look on in horror. Close up shot of Jacks face, a "I wish

I hadnt done that" look upon his face. Suddenly an alarm sounds and theplayer is back in control.)

VOICE

I suggest we get out of here quickly after that little display (laughs)Find the exit And fast!

8/14/2019 Sym X

5/52

AS SOON AS THE EXIT IS REACHED A CUT SCENE ENSUES. CUT TO EXTERIOR OFHOSPITAL. THE EXIT IS SEEN FLYING OPEN AND JACK RUNS OUT OF IT. HE STOPS,

LOOKS AROUND, THEN STARTS RUNNING. SUDDENLY A BRIGHT LIGHT APPEARS FROMOUT OF NOWHERE AND WE HEAR A VOICE - ITS MIKE ALLEN. HE WALKS UP TO JACK,WHO STOPS IN HIS TRACKS. THE CAMERA IS IN FRONT VIEW AT THIS POINT.

MIKE ALLENI suggest you stop what youre about to do, Jack. You didnt think you wouldget away that easily, did you? (Laughs) Did you honestly believe we wouldlet you get away with our finest achievement?! I think not.

(Mike slowly draws a tranquilizer gun from his pocket and readies himselfto fire, but Jack spots it and lunges forward, grabbing him violently andshoving him up against a wall.)

JACK WALKER (ANGRILY)I cant believe in all these years Ive known you your loyalties still haventchanged! When are you going to realize that you dont owe them anything?!They dont own you but I see you still dont get it, do you? (Sighs) So

long, Mike

(Jack turns and starts to walk away, a click is heard and jack knows hehas a gun trained on him. He shakes his head slowly and continues walking.)

MIKE ALLEN (SHOUTING)DONT MAKE ME USE THIS, JACK! JACK?!JAAAAACK!

FADE SLOWLY TO BLACK. END OF SCENE 2.

SCENE 3- CAPTURED

SLOW FADE IN FROM BLACK. THE CAMERA IS IN FRONT VIEW AS WE SEE JACK WALKING

DOWN THE STREET. THE CAMERA FOLLOWS HIM, PASSING TALL IMPRESSIVE LOOKINGBUILDINGS AND TRENDY SHOPS, WITH BARS AND RESTAURANTS NEARBY. JACK STOPSABRUPTLY OUTSIDE A BAR, DOUBLING OVER FROM THE WAIST AS HE IS GRIPPED BYSEVERE PAIN. HE FALLS TO HIS KNEES AS HE SUCCUMBS TO THE PAIN AND WE SEEHIM CLENCHING HIS TEETH, HIS EYES FLASHING PURPLE, BEFORE THE PAINGRADUALLY SUBSIDES. HE UNSTEADILY GETS TO HIS FEET, LOOKING AT HIS ARM ASIT BEGINS TO GLOW PURPLE. HE LOOKS ABOUT HIM QUICKLY THEN DASHES INTO THE

BAR, HARBOURING HIS STRANGELY GLOWING ARM.

CUT TO INTERIOR OF BAR

(The camera is in a wide view but fixed on a single point. Jack is standingin 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, as the camera then cutsto a view from behind.)

BARTENDER (GRUFFLY)

What will it be?

JACK WALKERNothing Thanks!

BARTENDERListen, pal, if you dont want a drink then get the hell out.

CUT TO VIEW FROM BEHIND BARTENDER AND ZOOM IN ON JACKS FACE, BEFORE ZOOMING

OUT RAPIDLY.

(Jack just glares at the bartender, and his eyes instantly change to brightpurple. Without warning, Jack grabs the bartender and hurls him out over

the bar. The bartender slams hard onto the floor, and Jack casually walksup to him, clenching his fist as it starts to glow brightly. He unleashessome kind of energy bolt which strikes the bartender hard, resulting ina shrill scream, before the bartender starts to fade into thin air. Jacks

eyes then revert back to normal.)

JACK WALKERWhat the What just happened?!

VOICEAs you can see, Jack, I can assume control over your body if you are indanger.

JACK WALKERBut I wasnt in any danger at all. I seen it happening but I couldnt doanything about it. So what your saying is that if Im in danger you cantake control of my body and vaporize any-one who threatens me?!

VOICECorrect, but I fear that we have alerted the local authorities. I suggestwe get out of here, before we are arrested.

CUT TO MAN ON PHONE, THEN BACK TO JACK.

JACK WALKER (SURPRISED)What?!! I wasnt the one who killed him! You did! So why will I get introuble?!

VOICE

Because these people have witnessed it, and I suggest by the looks we aregetting, that they will say you are insane. We will talk later, but fornow we must

CUT TO EXTERIOR OF BAR.

(The camera follows Jack as he is placed into a waiting police car, whilepeople stand and watch with shocked and horrified looks on their faces.

The camera cuts to a close up of Jacks face, showing disgust with himself,slowly fading to black.)

END OF SCENE 3.

SCENE 4- THE ESCAPE

FADE IN FROM BLACK. THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK FROM THE SIDE AS HE IS LED INTOTHE POLICE STATION WITH THE FOUR OFFICERS. OTHER OFFICERS CAN BE SEEN GOING

ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS IN THE BACKGROUND. HE IS SLAMMED HARD AGAINST THEBOOKING DESK. THE SERGEANT BEHIND THE DESK JUST GLARES AT HIM.

SERGEANT (GRUFFLY)Whats the charge?!

POLICE OFFICER 1Creating a disturbance, and for whatever he did to the bartender Accordingto statements we took from witnesses at the scene. I think we better call

someone in from the board. I think its what theyre, looking for, serge.

SERGEANTOkay. Until then, put him in cell two. You other three, I want reportswritten up.

POLICE OFFICERS 1, 2, & 3

You got it, serge.

(Police Officer 1 takes Jack to a holding cell. The camera follows as heis pushed into the holding cell. Some sort of force field appears as Jacksits down on a bench. The other prisoners glare at him. One of the onlookerseyes widen as he recognizes the newcomer.)

JACK WALKERSam Spears. I thought you retired.

SAM SPEARS (SMUGLY)After the little incentive they offered me?! Not a chance. The board wasvery generous when I told them about you and what happened. So, how didyou feel after it? Did you feel yourself change?! Dont try and come up

with excuses, Jack. Ive seen the evidence.

JACK SITS BACK DOWN IN SILENCE, BEFORE SUDDENLY SCREAMING IN PAIN ANDSHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN AND WE SEE JACKS MUSCLESFLEXING AND THICKENING AS HIS EYES BEGIN FLICKERING PURPLE. HE GLOWERS ATSAM, WHO STEPS BACK IN ALARM. JACK SLOWLY FADES IN AND OUT IN A DARK PURPLE

SAM SPEARS (LAUGHS)

Do you think that Im scared of you?! Remember, I know your weakness. Ifyou force my hand then I will! In the meantime, lets get you home.

(From out of nowhere, four men appear beside Mike, clad in some kind of

armor and wielding menacing guns. The force field disappears as the fourmen enter the cell and converge slowly on Jack. He scowls at the men aroundhim, then at Sam, before smiling confidently and fading into the dark purplehaze and disappearing. Sams astounded expression quickly turns to anger.)

SAM SPEARS(FURIOUS)Find him!MAN 1Bbut sir, he could be anywhere.

SAM SPEARSI dont care, fin..

BURT WALKER(V.O.)

Good bye..........Sons!

THE CAMERA SLOWLY FADES TO BLACK, END OF SCENE 7

SCENE 8 GOODBYE OLD FRIEND

SLOW FADE IN FROM BLACK. THE CAMERA IS IN FRONT VIEW. WE SEE JACK STANDINGOUTSIDE NEI HEADQUARTERS WITH A CONCERNED LOOK ON HIS FACE.

JACK WALKER

Hm! I can sense they have tightened security (laughs). Maybe they wereexpecting me!

VOICEYes, they have tightened security...But we must get inside the building.Maybe this will help!

(Suddenly jack begins to blur into bright purple, then quickly back tonormal again)

JACK WALKER

What?...... did you just do to me?

VOICEI have given you another of my powers. You now have the ability to beundetectable..... This is taxing however, it will not last long, so useit wisely! And be careful not to trip any alarms.

JACK JUMP KICKS THE DOUBLE DOORS OPEN. AND RUNS INTO THE BUILDING. HE STOPS

ABRUPTLY AND TURNS AROUND. WE SEE TWO GUARDS HOMING IN ON HIM, HE PUNCHESTHE AIR IN FRUSTRATION. HIS EYES AND ARMS SLOWLY GLOW PURPLE. HE STRETCH'SHIS ARMS OUT. THE DOORS SLAM SHUT. AND HE RELEASES AN ENERGY BOLT TO SEALTHE DOOR.

JACK WALKER (FRUSTRATED)Damn it! These guys dont quit!

VOICE (FRUSTRATED)Well I told you not to snap his neck! When two other guards where rightbeside 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 1Dont worry guys well find him, and snap his neck!

THE GUARDS WALK OUT OF SHOT!

VOICEYou have probably wondered how you where able to seal the door. Another

of my powers has regenerated. You have the ability to move objects atwill..... This is taxing too, you must use these abilities wisely. Otherwise, you will be unable to oppose anyone who stands in our way!

JACK WALKERI.... 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 backto his feet)

JACK WALKER

No, It.... cant be! (Mournful) Jake? What have, they done to him?VOICEI am, sorry Jack. Unfortunately he has become another casualty, of BradPetersons twisted experiments. We must stop him, before he escapes fromhere. Otherwise he will.....

JACK WALKERYes, I know. But...I still feel weak, and so do you. Let me at least try

to reason with him!

VOICEReasoning with him in his current state will not help! For the being henow is, has no morals, no emotions, Jake is now "dead".... But we must stophim. Do not let your past friendship affect what you must do! I sense theyare on the roof. We must hurry!

THE EXIT IS SEEN FLYING OFF ITS HINGES, JACK WALKS ANGRILY TOWARD BRAD,JAKE STEPS IN FRONT OF JACK, WHO STOPS AND LOOKS AT JAKE, SADDENED WHATHIS FRIEND HAS BECOME, JAKE STEPS TO THE SIDE AND BRAD WALKS SLOWLY TOWARDSJACK THEN STOPS, LOOKING SMUG WITH HIMSELF.

BRAD PETERSON (SMUG)I commend you for coming back here jack. I didnt think you had the guts!

JACK WALKER

I had to come back....to put an end to what youre doing!

8/14/2019 Sym X

BRAD PETERSONBravo! But I am afraid this is the end......of you!

(Brad nods and Jake advances on jack!)

JACK WALKERJake! Dont do this, dont make me hurt you!

(A Brief battle ensues)

JAKE STAGGERS BACKWARDS UNEASILY. HE THEN REGAINS HIS FOOTING. HE

UNLEASH'S A HUGE ENERGY BOLT, IT VIOLENTLY HITS JACK. WHO IS SENT FLYINGOFF THE ROOF TOP AND INSTANTLY PLUMMETS TO THE GROUND. THEN HIS RAPIDDESCENT IS SLOWED TO A STOP. ENERGY HIS SEEN FLARING FROM HIS OPEN ARMS.THEN HE GRACEFULLY TOUCHS THE GROUND.

JACK WALKER.Wow! I didnt know I could do that... oh! It was you, thanks!

VOICE

My pleasure, now do you see what he has become?

JACK WALKERYes... I do!

(Jack looks up to the roof top, his eyes flash purple, then the cameradissolves into black.)

END OF SCENE 8

SCENE 9- UNCOVERING THE TRUTH

FADE IN FROM BLACK, THE CAMERA PANS UP TO A HIGH ROOF TOP THEN STOPS, WE

SEE JACK RELAXING LOOKING AT A NIGHT CLUB, SMOKING A CIGARETTE WITH AREMINISCING LOOK ON HIS FACE

JACK WALKERI remember something about the project.... argh! But its hazy! It was whenwe 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 thisnightclub me and Jake went....

(He is cut off by the sounds of helicopters zooming past, police sirenswailing, then stopping outside the night club.)

JACK WALKER (FRUSTRATED)Damn it!!

8/14/2019 Sym X

22/52

VOICEI suggest we find some where we cannot be found!

JACK WALKERWhere? Every where we go theyll find us! I may as well give up, theyllnever stop hunting us!

(Jack staggers back as if slapped in the face)

JACK WALKER

Ouch! What was that for?

VOICETo snap you out of your delusions jack. Dont you realize that if you give

up now, they will kill you.... which inevitably will kill me! We have noother choice, but to wait until I have fully regenerated, then we will fight!

JACK WALKERYeah, youre 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 WALKERHuh? What are you talking about? I never called you anything

VOICEIt does not matter, I believe I have the solution to jolt youre memoryinto remembering the project but.... I fear brad has got to him, the onlyway is to find him. We must find a way to his home, I have marked the locationon 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. Jumpingfrom rooftop, to rooftop. Until he reaches an impressive looking house.)

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK FROM BEHIND, AS HE APPROACHES A IMPRESSIVE LOOKINGHOUSE, HE STOPS AT THE SECURITY GATE AND PRESSES THE BUTTON, IT CHIMES,

JACK WAITS FOR THE GATES TO OPEN, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, HE EASILY SOMERSAULTSOVER THE GATE AND LANDS HEAVILY, HE RUNS QUICKLY TO THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE,THE CAMERA FOLLOWS HIM AS HE DOES THIS, THEN ZOOMS TO A STOP. HE BANGS THEDOOR THREE TIMES, THEN WAITS, THE DOOR OPENS SLIGHTLY THE MAN LOOKS NERVOUSAS HE SPEAKS.MAN

SCENE 10- A LITTLE TOO LATE

SLOW FADE IN FROM BLACK, WE SEE JACK LANDING HEAVILY, THE PURPLE GLOWS FADESFROM HIS EYES AND ARMS, HE STANDS UP, LOOKING AT HIS SURROUNDINGS, HE

INSTANTLY RECOGNIZES WHERE HE IS.

JACK WALKER (SHOCKED)Oh....my...god! What happened here? I thought the energy we discovered,

was for all sectors.

VOICELies, jack, thats 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, thats why I brought youhere. We must go and find Robert Johnson- the director of the project,before brad gets to him...

(Jack nods, he runs to Robert Johnsons house, before he is too late.)

THE CAMERA SLOWLY FOLLOWS JACK FROM BEHIND AS HE APPROACHES A TALLIMPRESSIVE-LOOKING HOUSE. THE SECURITY GATES LIE BROKEN, TORN OFF THEIR

HINGES. JACK STEPS OVER THEM, HE LOOKS TOWARD THE HOUSE, WHICH LIES IN RUIN.WINDOWS SMASHED, LARGE CHUNKS OF MASONRY LIE IN PIECES. JACK HEADS TOWARDSTHE FRONT DOOR, WHICH RESTS ON ONE HINGE. HUGE CLAW MARKS ARE CLEARLYVISIBLE, HE STEPS THROUGH THE DOOR WAY.

CUT TO: INT. HOUSE

JACK WALKER (NERVOUSLY)I... I dont like the look of this.

VOICENeither do I, jack, but we must find Robert, even though the situation looksbleak. Explore the house, find any clue you can, then Robert. But I fearwe 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, hes took all bobsresearch. Disks, recordings, everything!

VOICE

Yes, but, we still have to find Robert, I sense he has a security bunkerin the basement. Hurry, jack....

(Jack finds the bunker)

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK SLOWLY AS HE APPROACHES THE SECURITY DOOR. HE ENTERS

A FOUR-DIGIT CODE, NOTHING HAPPENS. HE TRIES AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. HIS EYESCHANGE TO BRIGHT PURPLE, HE TAKES THREE STEPS BACK, CLENCHES HIS RIGHT FIST.WHICH SLOWLY GLOWS PURPLE, THEN BRIGHTLY, HE UNLEASHES AN ENERGY BOLT AT

THE DOOR FROM HIS OPEN HAND. WHICH CRACKS, THEN SHATTERS. AFTER THE SMOKECLEARS JACK STEPS THROUGH THE HOLE.

JACK WALKER (CROAKED)

My god! Bob!

THE CAMERA DOES A HARSH ZOOM ON A BODY LYING SLUMPED IN A CORNER OF THEBUNKER IN A POOL OF BLOOD, CLAW MARKS ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE, ARMS HAVE BEEN

VIOLENTLY RIPPED OFF, BRUISING IS ALSO SEEN, JACK RUSHES TO THE BODY, HEGETS DOWN ON ONE KNEE , THEN LOWERS HIS HEAD.

VOICE

I am afraid we are too late!

JACK WALKER (ANGRILY)You think?

VOICEJack, be calm. I know you are deeply upset by this, but we must focus. Youwill have your revenge on those who have betrayed you. Slaughtered yourclosest friends. Turned your closest friend into your enemy, erased your

mind, Brad, Jake.... They will all pay with their lives, what they havedone to you. But, we must be cunning about this...

JACK WALKERI cant just sit idly by, and do nothing. I just want to kill everyone whosstabbed me in the back, you must understand that, at least!

VOICEYes, 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 takenits toll on you. But we must try something, anything, to recover your lostme...

THE CAMERA SWINGS ROUND TO THE FRONT, WE SEE A DAUNTING FIGURE STANDINGIN THE HOLE, WHERE JACK BLASTED THROUGH, IT IS JAKE.

JAKE PARKERImpressive, ryhyilian. I did not think you could have made so much progressin so little time.

(Jacks eyes change to bright purple)

VOICEPryius, we meet again. I should have obliterated you, while I had thestrength!

PRYIUS (LAUGHS)You ryhyilians, are all the same....Weak! I thank you, for leading me here,

8/14/2019 Sym X

old friend. This world will soon be ours!

(Energy instantly flares from jacks arms)

VOICEI will not idly stand by, and let you and your kind, destroy yet anotherworld.

(A battle ensues,)

THE CAMERA IS IN SIDE VIEW, WE SEE PRYIUS/JAKE LYING SLUMPED ON THE FLOOR,

BLOOD TRICKLING FROM OPEN WOUNDS, AND FROM HIS MOUTH.

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 himdiscover the truth, for himself... which will destroy you both (laughs)

VOICEYou 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.

PRYIUSAre 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 WALKERSo... X, where are you taking me? And whats so god-damn important, youneed to show me

VOICE (SHOCKED)

You.. Remember my name?

JACK WALKERYeah, but not what happened!

VOICEHmm! Im 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 takingyou and what I will show you, should have the desired effect.

(Jack points towards a dark liquid in the distance)

XThat is, where you found me, Jack!

(Jack walks towards the dark liquid, then stops)

JACK WALKERSo, this is what you wanted to show me!

XYes, 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)

XNow close your eyes, and listen to the sound of my voice!

THE CAMERA FADES TO BLACK

WHITE FLASH IN, THE CAMERA IS IN FIRST PERSON VIEW. WE SEE WE ARE ON ANUNKNOWN PLANET, DESTRUCTION IS ALL AROUND. ALIEN BODIES LIE STREWN AROUND

US, WE BRING OUR HANDS UP AND LOOK AT THEM.

JACK WALKER (SHOCKED)What? Where am I?

XDo not be afraid jack, you have assumed the form of a ryhyilian. This ismy planet, which Pryius intends to destroy through his own arrogance. Hewill stop at nothing, to accomplish this. This is the moment where pryius

defeats me in battle, watch.

THE CAMERA QUICKLY ZOOMS IN ON TWO ALIENS, ONE STANDING OVER THE OTHER,WHO IS LYING ON THE GROUND, HEAVILY WOUNDED.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, thisplanet will soon be ours (laughs)

XDon't you get it pryius? Killing us, and your own brethren will only weakenthe barrier. The barrier is directly linked into the well-being of our

planet, and us.

PRYIUSI see our elders, have filled your mind with their lies. There nothing but

fools, Riyal.

8/14/2019 Sym X

28/52

RIYALIts not lies, nor the elders are fools, pryius. Its the truth. With eachdeath of our kind, the barrier weakens. And it will eventually affect the

planets core. Which will inevitably destroy our home world, if you do notstop this, reckless act. When will you realize your actions, will accomplishnothing. But our own demise.

PRYIUSThis world, you call home, riyal, will soon be ours once again, the treatywe had.... Once, was to lull your ignorant elders, and ours, into a falsesense 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 adistant memory. So go ahead and run like your kind always do! (Laughsloudly)

RIYAL (ANGRILY)Listen to me, pryius, and listen well, I may be defeated, but know this:This is not over between you and I. We will meet again,. But the next timewe meet, you will be the one, who will fall.

CUT BACK TO WASTELAND

RIYAL

So, you now know the truth, jack!

JACK WALKERSo now....

(Suddenly jack is gripped by severe pain, he instantly falls to his knees.)

JACK WALKER (CONTD)What....at Is hap...happening T.....to me? Riyal?

(Jacks features start to become more alien, his eyes now become permanentlypurple, 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 weare still too weak, to oppose brad and Jake, I am sure my memory will fullyrecover, I know who, and where the elder is. He holds the key to unlocking

the truth, buried deep in my mind.

JACK WALKERYou do that, brad and Ill end yours.

BURT WALKERDo... Don't give in M.... my sons!

(Brad hits Burt in the face, hard)

BRAD PETERSONShut up! You expected to find out the truth did you jack? Well it lookslike you are a little too late as always.

JACK WALKERWhat 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 PETERSONYou sound like that excuse for a project. I wont 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'schest,. Jack looks on in horror, then screams.)

JACK WALKER

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Pryius whips his head round to jack, smiles then he and brad disappearin a white flash. Jack runs towards Burt, who is lying on the ground coveringthe wound in his chest with one hand)

JACK WALKER (CONT'D)

Father!

BURT WALKERY... you... must go to th.. The temple with...

(Burt dies in jacks arms)

JACK WALKERWhat temple? Where? Riyal, what did he mean, go to the temple?

RIYALThere is a temple within my..... Our mind. We riyhilians use it, if we cannot

8/14/2019 Sym X

30/52

find answers, or to evolve, if needed. But it is risky, if you are too longwithin the temple, your body will wither and die, or what you call a failsafe device, will rush your mind back to consciousness. And that is too

dangerous, I cannot allow you to take that risk jack.

JACK WALKERI am willing to take that risk, riyal, you risked your life for me. Exposing

brads twisted projects, so, its my turn to repay the favour. What yousay, wont change my mind, we have got to stop brad and pryius, I thinkthere working together, pryius must have coerced him with promises ofunlimited power, and brad gave him a body. So we got to..

(From out of the distance we see a convoy of motorbikes approach, veryquickly. Jack turns around and starts to run.)

SCENE 13- FRIENDS REUNITED

SLOW FADE IN FROM BLACK, WE SEE WE ARE BACK IN THE WASTE LAND, THE CAMERA

PANS DOWN FROM AN ARIEL VIEW, THEN BACK, THEN CUTS TO A SIDE VIEW, WE SEEA GANG OF BIKERS STANDING AROUND JACK, WITH THERE ARMS FOLDED, ONE OF THEMSTEPS THROUGH.

JACK WALKERWho are you? What do you want? If your here because youve heard of Jakesfate, then here is your killer. Go ahead, try me!

BIKEREasy old pal. Dont 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 WALKERJake? But.... How?

JAKE PARKERRiyal knows!

JACK WALKER

Can you at least, share it with the rest of the group?

RIYALAs you wish! The temple within Jakes mind had become corrupted by pryius'sthoughts. Jake had become a prisoner within his own body, unable to doanything. But his will to escape the catastrophe, that his body had become,

was too great. Even pryius couldn't stop him! But I still dont understandhow or why!

JACK WALKER

Dont under-estimate our own determination to survive, riyal! Thats whatall sentient beings, strive on one single drive......To survive!

8/14/2019 Sym X

JAKE PARKERWhoa! Somebody, must have swallowed a dictionary (laughs)

RIYALI see our minds are becoming as one, Jack. But we must press on, the furtherwe delay. The more ground, Pryius and brad gain.

JAKE PARKERRiyals right, enough of this sentimental crap, lets get down to business

JACK WALKEROK! Jake, you and the others go back to the city. Scope out NEI. See ifthere's any unknown activity going on

JAKE PARKERYou got it! What about you?

JACK WALKERMe? Ill 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.)

WE SEE THE MOTOR BIKES DISAPPEAR INTO THE DISTANCE. JACK JUST STANDS THERE.

JACK WALKERGood luck.... Friend! So, riyal, how do we go about this whole temple thing?

RIYALFirst, you must be comfortable, sit down jack.

(Jack sits)

RIYALNow slow your breathing, until you are relaxed. Then close your eyes. Lastlywill your mind into the temple.

THE CAMERA DISSOLVES SLOWLY INTO BLACK.

FADE IN FROM BLACK WE SEE WE ARE IN A DESERT, JACK IS STANDING LOOKING ATA TEMPLE IN THE DISTANCE, WHICH IS SEEN BUILDING ITSELF. JACK JUST STANDSTHERE, ARMS FOLDED, ADMIRING THE VIEW.

Where.... Am... I?

(From nowhere riyal appears)

RIYALWe are within your mind jack, which will soon become one mind,

indistinguishable. As you can see, as our minds blend together. The templegets bigger and stronger as each moment passes. We have a more importantmatter to attend to here. That is why I have brought you to this place.

JACK WALKERI know, shall we?

RIYALIndeed jack, let us proceed!

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK WHO CAREFULLY WALKS TOWARDS THE TEMPLE. HE THEN

ARRIVES AT THE TEMPLES ENTRANCE. THE CAMERA FOLLOWS HIM IN LOOK UP. ASHE SURVEYS THE TEMPLE IN AWE.

JACK WALKER

Wow! I didn't think, this could be possible!

RIYALWe are greater than the sum of our parts, remember that jack. Let us presson.

THE CAMERA SLOWLY FOLLOWS JACK AS HE ENTERS THE TEMPLE

CUT TO: INT. TEMPLE

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK FROM BEHIND. JACK THEN STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THETEMPLE. THE CAMERA SLOWLY PANS UP, THEN BACK TO JACK.

JACK WALKERHow.... can this be?

RIYALAs 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 eventuallyit will wither and die. So we must find what we are looking for. Andquickly.

JACK WALKERYour right, enough staring at the scenery. Lets explore this place, and

find some sort of answers.

(Jack explore's the temple reading strange murals, each mural is degradedand unreadable until the centre of the temple is reached)

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK FROM THE SIDE. AND REVEALS A HUGE DARK PURPLE

CREATURE BOUND IN CHAINS ON A SMALL CEREMONIAL PLATFORM. IT RAISES ITSHEAD WEAKLY AND LOOKS DIRECTLY AT JACK, THEN RIYAL.

THE CREATURE

Ah! So you have come at last. I did not think you had the strength to journeyhere, both of you. Riyal you know who and what I am. I am the part of you

8/14/2019 Sym X

33/52

which you have suppressed for several millennia. The part your people vowednever to become again, but you need that part of you, if you truly desireto 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 unlockyour suppressed memory, and to find the truth. I can aid you in this, onlyif you so wish.

JACK WALKERI just want to know the truth, I know some of it. But..... I just want toknow everything. Riyal has filled some of the gaps.... but its still hazy.

THE CREATUREVery well then, jack. Please come forward. Do not be afraid, no harm willcome to you.

(Jack steps forward, then stops at the ceremonial platform.)

THE CREATURELook into my eyes jack, see the buried memories. Let them come forth...

(White flashes are seen with blurred images, jack winces in pain with eachimage.)

JACK WALKER

Ah! Stop.... Please I C... cant take the pain! Riyal he.... Help me.

THE CREATUREDo 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.)

RIYALENOUGH! Are you alright my friend?

(Jack slowly, and awkwardly gets to his feet)

JACK WALKERYeah! 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, allalong. Even the first time we tried the experiment, brad deliberatelysabotaged the infusion inhibitor. Which regulates the flow of energy into

the arc which amplifies, the source of that energy.

RIYALI 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. Andas you said, the arc amplifies any energy source running through it. Hence

8/14/2019 Sym X

34/52

the rather large explosion.

(Suddenly jack bends over in slight pain.)

JACK WALKERWh... what was that?

(Jack bends over again in slight pain.)

JACK WALKERWhat the hell?.......

FADE TO WHITE.

WHITE FADE IN. WE SEE WE ARE BACK IN THE WASTE LAND. THE CAMERA IS IN FIRST

PERSON VIEW, WE SEE OUR VISION IS BLURRED, THEN COMES INTO FOCUS. THE CAMERATHEN CUTS TO A SIDE VIEW. PRYIUS IS STANDING IN FRONT OF US.

RIYALPryius, we meet again!

PRYIUSI knew that little jolt, would make you come to your senses, human.

JACK WALKERI know everything, pryius, you and brad working together. Your plan to takeover my planet, wont work. Our government, will stop you in your tracks,as for brad. Dont worry hes next on my list.

PRYIUSBrad 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 notthe 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 powercomes at a price, and nothing will stand in my way (laughs)

JACK WALKERForget it pryius, its over. I'm here to stop you once and for all. Evenif that means taking my own life. Ive seen what youve done, you sick sonof a..... All that destruction, desecration, killing your own kind to fulfil

your own sick twisted desires. Your nothing more than a vicious cancerousparasite, spreading death and disease, every where you go. Consuming everysource of energy until theres nothing left.(Pryius clenches his fists. And scowls at jack, in anger.)I know what youre thinking, pryius. You want to obliterate me... but youfind me interesting.

PRYIUSTrue! I do find you interesting, But, what interest I have, will soon fade.And your pitiful planet, will soon... be mine!

RIYAL

8/14/2019 Sym X

35/52

Pryius, I implore you. Please dont do this, what you are doing is totalmadness and unconscionable, and will accomplish nothing. If you carry outthis irrational plan of yours, you will not only destroy our world. You

will destroy the last hope for our dying planet. Cant you hear it, pryius?Our planet screaming in pain. Whimpering for help, which if we do nothing,will wither, then die.

PRYIUSI think, you are hearing things, old friend. Our planet, can die for allI care. It is no longer a concern, to me. It has served its purpose, thisplanet is rich in energy, 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... ina heart beat.

(Pryius disappears into thin air)

JACK WALKERSo, now what do we do?

RIYAL

We must find brad, and try and rescue him, before pryius gets to him, andkill him!

JACK WALKER

You think pryius would do that?RIYALYou have already seen first hand, what he is capable of jack!

(Suddenly from the distance see jets zooming in on jack, then camera fadesto black.)

END OF SCENE 13

SCENE 14- STEP UP

WHITE FLASH IN, THE CAMERA IS IN A VIEW FROM BEHIND. WE SEE JACK STANDINGENERGY FLARING FROM HIS ARMS, LOOKING UP AT THE JETS QUICKLY APPROACHING.

JACK WALKERGreat! Just great! This is just what I need right now. The army after my

butt!

RIYALJack! I sense its not your army, that has sent those jets, but someone weknow all too well!

JACK WALKERPryius, right? Something tells me, those jets aren't manned!

RIYAL

Im afraid that he has taken control of the jets, that you used for partsto build the prototype for the arc. When NEI took over the abandoned hanger

8/14/2019 Sym X

36/52

before you took over the building, which the arc you had built now residesin . That the army declassified, many years ago.

JACK WALKERYeah, let me take a wild guess here, call it intuition if you will. But....Ifwe don't stop these jets, pryius sent to hinder our progress. Then bradis more or less dead meat!

RIYALCorrect, jack! You now possess the abilities to stop anyone who poses athreat to us, I believe they will come in three waves, take them all out

so we can press on

(Jack destroys the jets with ease)

CUT TO SIDE VIEW

JACK WALKERWell, that was easier than I thought!

RIYALDont be easily fooled by pryius jack, and never under estimate him. Heis more cunning than you think. And, even more dangerous, we must proceedwith caution jack. I believe that he will test how far we are willing to

go.

JACK WALKERRiyal! You should have a little more faith in me (laughs)

RIYALI do jack, but.... I'm begging you please be careful. Let us proceed.

WE SEE JACK FLYING OFF INTO THE DISTANCE

CUT TO CLOSE UP SHOT OF JACKS FACE, SLOWLY SHOWING ANGER

(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 CRACKS THEN SHATTERS. THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK HAS HE FLOATSGENTLY TO THE GROUND AND TRYING TO REGAIN HIS COMPOSURE. BUT HE HIS BREATHING

HEAVILY AS IF HE IS WINDED. WE SEE THE BARRIER LYING IN PIECES LIKE BROKENGLASS.

RIYALJack? 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, donot let him. Otherwise, he will poison your mind, with unwanted thoughts.Of anger, hate, resentment. To all living things, and people, who you carefor. 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 pryiussdoing, all along.

JACK WALKER (ANGRILY)You, dont know a god damn thing about me, youre just some lousy experiment,

that went wrong. Ever since you have been with me, youre nothing more,than a parasite. That needs eradicating.

RIYALJack please, pryius is within your mind, I can sense him. Fight him, hewill not give in, until he has complete control over you. For once in yourlife, 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, youhave let brad, and the others use you... like a doormat

(Jack clench's his fists, he starts shaking uncontrollably, his eyesflicker from bright to dark purple.)

JACK WALKER (PANTING)Yeah... I'll... I'll be fine. That was the hardest thing, I've ever hadto do. He was trying, to take over. I need to sit down.

RIYALIm afraid we have no time, to sit and rest jack. We must, stop pryiusotherwise, he will carry out his plan. Conquering your world, and making

it his own. Once he has achieved this. He will infect, youre fellow humans,with what he calls... his children. Jack I know, that brad has treated youbadly in the past, but he must not suffer death so horribly, what pryiuswill do to him, his body, and mind wont be able, to handle the change.

JACK WALKERWhat change? Dont tell me he intends to..... Oh, crap!

RIYALIndeed jack!

JACK WALKERAlright, I'll rescue him but, eventually . Hell have to die, and by my

hand.

RIYALIf you still feel that way jack, so be it. I will not stop you, shall we?

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK AS HE SLOWLY FLIES TO THE CITY LIMITS. LOOKING FROMLEFT TO RIGHT AT THE DEVASTATION. THE CITY LIES IN RUINS. BODIES, ALL WOMEN,CHILDREN AND MEN LIE EVERYWHERE. EVERY HOME IS TOTALLY DESTROYED. SMOKEBILLOWS FROM BARS, SOME STILL ON FIRE. JACKS FACE SHOWS SADNESS. THEN ANGERAND CONTEMPT. EVENTUALLY HE ARRIVES AT THE BUNKER, STILL IN TACT, HE LANDSHEAVILY.

JACK WALKER(CALMLY)So, how do you want me to do this?

RIYALAs with NEI jack!

JACK WALKERI think, hell be expecting a sneak attack, and on the other hand. Hellexpect a head on attack, damn it!

RIYALThere is, one way we could enter the building!

JACK WALKERHow?

RIYALIt is, a power we ryhillians suppressed millennia ago. And we forgot, to

8/14/2019 Sym X

39/52

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 WALKERYeah, I know. To my advantage. How long does it last, if Im able to, awakenthis power?

RIYALIt will, drain your health, slowly. Use it with extreme caution jack, butdo not worry, for I will stop it, if you go too far.

(Jack nods, then closes his eyes.)

THE CAMERA SLOWLY SWINGS AROUND JACK, WHO IS IN DEEP CONCENTRATION. THE

CAMERA SPEEDS UP GETTING FASTER AND FASTER. AFTER SEVERAL MOMENTS THE CAMERASTOPS ABRUPTLY, THEN SLOWLY ZOOMS IN THEN STOPS.

CUT TO CLOSE UP SHOT OF JACKS FACE

CUT TO WIDE FRONT VIEW

RIYALHow do you feel jack?

JACK WALKERI think it worked, so now what do I do?

RIYALConjure an image of pryius, in your minds eye, then it will happen.

(Jack stares ahead, he clench's his fists tightly)

WE SEE A WISP OF BRIGHT PURPLE ENERGY START TO WHIP AROUND JACK. SLOWLYAT FIRST, THEN IT GETS FASTER AND FASTER. AT THE SAME TIME WE SEE JACK GLOWPURPLE. SUDDENLY A BRILLIANT PURPLE FLASH IS SEEN. WE SEE JACK HAS TAKENON THE APPEARANCE OF PRYIUS, AND HIS VOICE.

JACK WALKERWhat? This... is impossible!

RIYALI am astounded, jack. I didnt honestly believe, you had the power withinyou 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 meansto rescue brad.

SCENE 15- BRAD UNDONE

FLASH IN, JACK IS STILL STANDING AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUNKER. WE SEE HIMLOOKING AT THE ENTRANCE IN CONCENTRATION, PONDERING THE THOUGHT HOW TO GETINSIDE THE BUNKER.

RIYALWhy so hesitant, jack? You now have the means to get inside. But you stillhave doubts, about your new found abilities, and your humanity. You feel

you may lose your humanity, jack. I can sense it, within you. You havenothing to fear my friend. True, you will eventually become alien, bodyand mind but....you will not loose the essence of your humanity. A smallportion of that essence, will remain.

JACK WALKERWhat if I cant do it, riyal? What if I cant rescue brad, what if I lethim die, by pryius turning him!

RIYALJack, even though brad has cruelly used you, he should not suffer the fatethat 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 SEE WE ARE INSIDE THE BUNKER, JACK IS STANDING SUREVYING HISSURROUNDINGS. WE SEE ARE GUARD, RUNNING TOWARDS US.

GUARDSir? We didnt expect you back so soon!

JACK WALKERYes... But I have to make sure things are going, according to plan. Howis our... guest, comfortable? But secure, I hope!

GUARDYes, sir! We have contained him within the power station. As yourinstructions.

JACK WALKER

Excellent! You may go about your duties, now!

(The guard walks away)

SUDDENLY A BRIGHT PURPLE FLASH IS SEEN. WE SEE JACK BACK TO HIS NORMAL SELF,HE TRYS TO TURN BACK INTO PRYIUS BUT TO NO AVAIL.

RIYAL(WHISPERS)J..... Jack... You... where pryius for.... Too long... I tried to... sustainthe illusion, as long as.... I could, but... Im afraid..... You will have

to... explore the bunker yourself... until I have regained... mystrength... do not worry... you will still have... unsurpassed physicalstrength.

(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, tosee if any guards are coming.)

THE DOORS ARE SEEN RIPPED OFF THERE HINGES, AND JACK SURVEYS THE ROOM. THECAMERA FOLLOWS FROM BEHIND. WE HEAR A SLITHERING SOUND OF WHATEVER ISAPPROACHING. SUDDENLY WE CATCH A GLIMPSE OF A SHADOW. JACK READIES HIMSELFTO ATTACK, BUT STOPS WHEN THE SHADOWED FIGURE REVEALS ITSELF.

JACK WALKERBrad? What has, happened to you?

BRAD PETERSON

Dont you recognize me?

JACK WALKERHow could you let pryius corrupt you like this? Dont you realize, thathe intends, to kill you? By turning you into....

BRAD PETERSONHa! Pathetic words from a mere human. I am beyond death, jack! Youre justjealous that Pryius picked me, instead of you.

JACK WALKERHave you gone insane? You are just a pawn, in his game. Cant you see thatyou, are just being used? And when you have become useless, he will discardyou, like some rag. Brad please, listen to me.... I can help you, to freeyour mind and body, from pryiuss poi....

(Brad unleashs an energy bolt, which hits jack so hard, that he stumblesand falls.)

BRAD PETERSONNever! Listen to me, jack. I have attained immortality, a gift I never

thought. That could be bestowed upon his... son!

THE CAMERA ZOOMS BACK, TO SEE BRADS MUSCLES FLEXING, AND TURNING BLUE.HIS EYES GRADUALLY TURN TO BLACK. THE CAMERA CUTS TO FIRST PERSON AS BRADLOOKS AT US, WITH A HORRIFIED LOOK ON IS FACE. THEN ANGER, HE FEINS AT JACK

WHO DODGES EASILY.

BRAD PETERSON(SHOUTING)STOP WHAT YOURE DOING JACK, YOURE 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 WALKERFreed him from the madness, that you had so forcefully, bestowed upon him.

PRYIUSI made him something more than a mere human. He was... beyond death, nomore 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. Andforced these rules, upon both our races!

JACK WALKERI had saved you... from yourselves pryius. You were both destroying eachother. I could no longer, just stand and watch. I had no other choice, butto intervene.

PRYIUSFace it jack. You still are no threat to me. No matter how much power, youwield. I can see into your mind, jack! Now that you have the power, youwant to change what happened to your.... Mother (laughs)

JACK WALKERYou no nothing about my mother. Yes I lost her when I was young, but thatstill doesnt change the fact, that I can stop her from dying. No matterhow much, I want to.

ONE DARK PURPLE, THE OTHER LIGHT PURPLE. THE CAMERA SWINGS ROUND TO A WIDESIDE VIEW.

JACK WALKER

Pryius, this is his doing!

RIYALHow did you know, jack?

JACK WALKERI sensed it, just after he blasted me. Before I, slipped intounconsciousness. For just a brief second, I read his mind. He knew thatif I was dead. Id be no threat, to him. Little does he know, that I have

survived. And he will pay... So, what now?

RIYALWe...

THE CAMERA CUTS TO THE FRONT, WE SEE A GHOST LIKE FORM, BRIGHT PURPLE INCOLOR LEAVE JACKS BODY. JACK WATCHS MOURNFULLY AS WE SEE THE GHOST LIKEFORM SPLIT THEN RUSHES INTO EACH TEMPLE.

JACK WALKERRiyal? Riyal!

(Suddenly an echoed voice issues out of nowhere.)

RIYALDo not be afraid jack. I am still here. But I have been separated, as youhad seen. You must find me, jack. You must enter both temples, and absorbme. You can choose, to enter either temple. As soon as you choose, whichtemple to enter. I will transport you inside.

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 WALKERWhat!

RIYAL

Your mind is now symbiotic, living within you, and outside you. But yourmind, is now poisend. You must... hurry jack. Otherwise, you will neverrecover. Your mind, being entwined with mine, cannot survive without eachother. 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!

THE CAMERA CUTS TO A SIDE VIEW, AS RIYAL APPEARS FORM NOWHERE.

JACK WALKER

Riyal?....

(Riyal growls at jack, who fires an energy blast at jack, who in turn rollsout of harms way and returns fire. Riyal shatters into tiny pieces of purplelight.)

JACK WALKER(HORRIFIED)Riyal! What have I done!

(Riyals voice issues out of nowhere)

RIYALDo not fret, jack. They are, put simply guardians. Who have taken on myform.

They will try to obliterate you, which I cannot stop them, from doing. Tothem, 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 guardianseasily out of his way.

THE CAMERA FOLLOWS JACK FROM BEHIND AS HE WALKS INTO SOME SORT OF CEREMONIALROOM, STRANGE SYMBOLS AND SIGILS ARE ALL OVER THE WALLS. WE SEE RIYAL BOUNDTO A CEREMONIAL PLATFORM. HE SLOWLY RAISES HIS HEAD AND LOOKS AT JACK

CUT TO SIDE VIEW.

RIYALI am...Released.

RIYAL FADES INTO A GHOST-LIKE FORM, THEN DRIFTS TOWARDS JACK. WHO IN TURN

ABSORBS HIM.

RIYALHow do you feel, jack?

JACK WALKERBetter! But I still dont feel, like myself.

RIYAL

You will soon enough jack. Once we have, been to the other temple. But,be on your guard jack.

CUT TO INT. DARK TEMPLE

WE SEE JACK TRANSFORMING BACK TO HIS NORMAL SELF. HE SURVEYS THE TEMPLEWHICH IS IN TOTAL DARKNESS. ALL WE CAN SEE IS THE BRIGHT PURPLE GLOW INHIS EYES. HE TRAINS HIS EYES AT THE WALLS, AS IF HE IS READING SOMETHINGON THEM.

JACK WALKER(LAUGHS)

At least, I can see in the dark!

RIYALThat will be, the only thing you will be able to, jack.

JACK WALKERMeaning?

RIYALThe guardians which now reside within this temple are now dark creaturesjack, they will kill you. If you even use, your gift. They know you arehere, but they know, they are no match for you. I must warn you. They arestarved, 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, whileyou're still.....Alive

What?!

8/14/2019 Sym X

JACK WALKER

What's happening?(We hear an inhuman shrill scream.)

RIYAL

We are, too late jack. They have crushed, my other selfs psyche. We mustgo. He is beyond, saving.

JACK LOOKS UP AND FIRES AN ENERGY BOLT AT THE CEILING, WHICH IS HIGH UP.

THE CEILING INSTANTLY COMES RUSHING DOWN. JACK EASILY DODGES. SUDDENLYTHREE DARK CREATURES APPEAR FROM NO-WHERE AND SURROUND HIM.

DARK CREATURE 1There he is!

DARK CREATURE 2The vile one

DARK CREATURE 3Stop him.

ENERGY INSTANTLY FLARES FROM JACKS ARMS, HE ROCKETS UP TO THE HOLE HE MADEIN THE CEILING, THE CAMERA FOLLOWS HIM, AS HE FLIES TO A SAFE DISTANCE,THEN LANDS. HE WATCHES AS THE DARK TEMPLE CRUMBLES TO DUST.

RIYALWe where, too late!

JACK WALKERWhat happened?

RIYALMy other self, could not hold out for us. To rescue him, the influence withinthe dark temple... was too great. He finally succumbed, to its influence.

JACK WALKERI dont 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. Youre eyesare open jack but, you are not fully awake. You must, wake up jack. Who,are you jack?

END OF SCENE 16

FINAL SCENE- SHOWDOWN

WE SEE WE ARE BACK IN THE CITY, RAHAAN/JACK IS WALKING CASUALLY DOWN THESTREET, ALL THE WHILE TALKING TO RIYAL.

RAHAANI still feel jack, within my mind. It is, a strange sensation to say theleast. Thank you, riyal. For finding me. I know, everything that hashappened to me, from leaving the planet I had created. And the birth ofboth races. But I cant recall, how I came to be on that other planet. Andworking for that, energy company.

RIYALI knew, I would find you, enlightened one. But as you know, I was drainedby my long journey. I did not apprehend, that pryius would stumble acrossthe conduit, also. And, follow me through.

RAHAAN

Ah, pryius! He would have made, a fine historian one day. But finding whathe 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 dayshad gone by before, I sensed something wasnt right.

RIYAL

Yes, he would always go to the caverns, just outside the northwest provinceto study. For solitude.

RAHAAN

I agree, but as I watched him sitting there, writing his notes. Hours seemto pass, slowly. I was ready to leave, until... His eye caught some writing,

8/14/2019 Sym X

on the cavern wall. I knew what, he had seen. The very beginnings, of bothraces, and who I really was. You know the rest, riyal.

RIYALDo you, truly believe pryius, will do the right thing, enlightened one.What I have seen, and what my friend jack has witnessed, the only thingon his mind. Is total domination, of both worlds.

RAHAANI know, deep down. He still, has goodness within him. I believe, that hewill make the right choice. He has no, alternative. Small sacrifices must,

be made to save the dying planet, including...Ours!

RIYAL (SURPRISED)What!

RAHAANIm afraid we have to, old friend. If the planet has, some small chanceof surviving. If pryius, doesnt choose to sacrifice is life. Then I, mustfight him until, he has no...

THE CAMERA PANS QUICKLY FORWARD, WE SEE PRYIUS OPENING A CONDUIT TO THE

ALIEN WORLD. THEN THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO RAHHAN/JACK.

RIYALWe must hurry enlightened one. He has, opened the conduit.

(Rahaan/Jack nods and runs to where pryius is standing.)

PRYIUSI 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. Its the only, chance, youll get

RAHAANI am, no longer the human, known as jack, pryius.

PRYIUSWelcome to the, planets final hour. Witness the dying moments of our doomedplanet. You are too late, to stop it.(Cackles)

RAHAANPryius, listen to me. Its not too late, to do the right thing. I sense,within you, you still hold the essence. Of your, former self. You stillcan make, the right choice pryius. Please don't make me, force you into

doing the right thing.

PRYIUSNever! This planet can die for all, I care. It has never done, me any favours.

RAHAANIt gave you, life pryius! And with it, a high intelligence. And gave youa purpose in life. Either you, sacrifice your energy, or I will make you.

PRYIUS (SHOUTING)NEVER!!

ENERGY FLARES FROM RAHAANS/JACKS ARMS. PRYIUS CHARGES TOWARDS HIMSCREAMING A BATTLE CRY. HE SOMERSAULTS OVER PRIUS AND RETAILTES BY HITTING
