Plot: The film begins with Marnie Piper and her mother, Gwen, arguing over why she and her younger siblings Dylan and Sophie can never go out for Halloween. Gwen patiently explains, but with no detail, it is little surprise that Marnie still has a problem with her mom's order. Gwen has more or less restored order when her mother Aggie, who is an expert witch, shows up for her annual Halloween visit. The kids are happier to see Aggie than Gwen is, and it is soon shown why: Aggie openly encourages the kids to get more involved in all things Halloween, and Gwen is nearly powerless to stop her. Aggie seems especially intent on training Marnie as a witch, since it is Marnie's 13th Halloween. Marnie, of course, has no idea about any of this. Aggie drops a huge hint as she is about to head home: reading the kids a bedtime story, when Sophie sees a drawing of a witch that closely resembles her big sister, Aggie does nothing to stop Marnie from imagining such a thing. Gwen and Aggie get into an argument about all of this, and Gwen insists Marnie will be raised as a normal person and not a witch. Aggie says she disagrees with this, but actually she is there for another reason: people have suddenly started mysteriously disappearing. Gwen thinks they just moved, but Aggie says it is not that simple. Aggie desperately asks for Gwen's help, but Gwen declines. Aggie is distraught by Gwen's disregard for the safety of her old home and leaves, turning the chicken leftovers into a live chicken on the way out. Gwen is not aware Marnie was watching this the whole time. Marnie runs back upstairs to tell Dylan what she just saw, and Dylan says she's crazy. They then follow Aggie covertly to a previously non-existent bus stop. When the bus indeed arrives, Marnie and Dylan sneak on board. Suddenly, the bus shakes violently and the bus is filled with flashing lights...and before they know it, the bus is landing in Halloweentown. Aggie doesn't see Marnie and Dylan getting off the bus. At the same time, Marnie and Dylan don't see Sophie getting off the bus. Dylan notices her, and Marnie asks what she's doing here. Sophie says she was only pretending to sleep; she heard everything Marnie told Dylan, and followed them. They all begin to look for Aggie, who they have lost, when the mayor Kalabar approaches them. He whistles for the cab, which is driven by Benny, a skeleton with a bad sense of humor. The three siblings find their grandmother's home, and against her better judgment, Aggie decides not to take them home immediately. She says she'll start Marnie's witch training, but has to take care of the bad thing first. She shows her grandchildren what she is talking about: in the cauldron, a vision of a hooded demon appears, laughing maniacally. Aggie has a talisman that she says can defeat this demon, but her witches brew is defective. So she has to take the kids into town and get the ingredients to make her own. In town, Marnie discovers a broom shop, and the family is introduced to Luke, who looks like a normal human kid. He makes a clumsy pass at Marnie, which she turns down on the spot; after Luke offers to take Marnie out for an ice cream, she stares daggers at him. Benny earlier explained that Luke once looked like a troll, but claimed a shadow demon made him handsome. Marnie picks a broom, and she and Aggie take it for a test drive. When they get back, a distressed Gwen has shown up and orders the kids to return home immediately. Marnie fights her briefly, but eventually knows she cannot win once her mother decided to ground her. Gwen can't find another bus back to the mortal world, and when she tries to see if the mayor can do anything, she is shocked that the mayor is Kalabar, her old boyfriend. When Kalabar briefly leaves to handle another problem, Gwen and her kids see Aggie walking somewhere with Luke. Sensing Aggie might be in trouble, they follow Aggie and Luke to an abandoned movie theater. Once inside, Gwen and Aggie find themselves battling the hooded demon that they had previously seen in the cauldron. The demon freezes Aggie and Gwen with an evil spell, and suddenly Marnie finds herself in charge. She decides to finish what Aggie started, with some help from Dylan and Sophie, by gathering the ingredients for the witch’s brew that will hopefully make the talisman work. They are successful, and soon find themselves battling the demon, who reveals himself to be none other than Kalabar himself. With the help of Luke, who has realized the error of his ways, Marnie disables Kalabar long enough to unfreeze Aggie and Gwen, as well as all the other Halloweentown citizens whom Kalabar had trapped in the theater previously. Marnie, Gwen and Aggie confront Kalabar. Kalabar is apparently bitter over the fact that their kind was forced to relocate to this new world because humans wouldn't accept them, and that Gwen passed him over years ago for a mortal man. But the three of them alone aren't enough. Sophie has also been showing signs of possessing magic, and Dylan, when angered, also displays powers himself despite trying to deny it. The five of them combine their powers and destroy Kalabar using the talisman. Gwen agrees to let Marnie start witch training and even invites Aggie to live with them. The film ends with the family going on to the bus to the mortal world, with Luke as the bus driver, and blast off.

The movie open at a funeral service. It focuses in on a seven year old boy standing next to his dad crying. His dad tries to console him, but he starts crying to as the funeral is for his wife/the boys mom. The dad tells his son Martin that it will be alright and that they will get through it even though he doesn't believe it himself. He doesn't know how he will be able to raise his son by himself.

It then shifts to a year later and it is night time. Martin hears a noise, so he gets out of his bed to go see what it is. What he finds is his dad getting ready to leave the house. He ask him where he is going and he says that he can't tell him and that he would believe him anyways. Before he leaves, he leans down and says: son, I will always love you and I am sorry for leaving, but don't you worry, I will be back, and untill then your grandma will be taking care of you, so be good to her. Martin nods yes(with tears in his eyes). He gives Martin a big hug, leaves, and isn't seen again for a long time.

Martin/Martin then flashes on the screen and fades into the words: 20 Years later.

It shows Martin filling his a a gas station paying for his gas and getting some snacks. He hears a lound noise, looks out the window and all he sees is smoke in the distance. Martin is curious, so he decides to check it out. When he gets to the site of the smoke, he is shocked to see what he believes to be a small space craft. However, before he can register this, he is surprised by the site of a strage creature. He thinks that it has to be a martian or some kind of alien. Instead of running scared he is just frozen still as the alien walks towards him. The aliens just stares at him and somehow he manages to say: can I help you. The alien can mimic any language, so he responds with a yes. Martin now hears a police siren, so he tells the alien to follow him. They get in his car and drive off just as the police show up on the scene. As they are driving off, Martin ask him where he is from and he responds with, Mars. Martin: Wow, so you are a real life Martin.

The next scene is back at the crash where Detective Carlson and some men are surveying the crash. He notes that it looks to be an alien space shuttle and that it is probably connected to the one that was seen 20 years ago in this same city. Carlson tells them to stay quite about this and that he will take care of it. Stan Wilson, who is a scientis that specializes in astronomy, so Carlson decides that he will ask him to help deal with this. Carlson saw tire tracks, so he knows someone else was at the site before him.

Now, it is back to Martin and he is parking his car at an apartment. He gets out with the Martian, rings the doorbell, and it is his friend Luke who answers the door. Luke sees the Martian and ask what it is. The Martian answers: I am a Martian dumby. Haven't you ever seen one before. Martin sees the shocked look on his face and trys to smooth over the sitution and gets Luke to calm down and let them in. They talk about what do and decide that they will figure it out in the morning. The next day they decide to go see Stan Wilson who was friends with Martin's dad. Yes, this is the same Stan Wilson that Detective Carlson was going to see to work with/discuss about the crash.

It shifts to Stan Wilson's lab where he is talking to Detecive Carlson about the crash. Stan decides that it has to be connected to the alien discovery 20 years ago. Carlson tells him to let him know if he finds out anymore about the crash or if he finds what was in it. A hour after he leaves, Martin and Luke show up at Wilson's lab with the Martian hidden in under a trench coat. Martin talks about what he saw and after that he reveals the Martin. Surprisingly, Wilson isn't as shocked as they thought he would. Stan says: I was right, I knew you would come back someday. Martin confusingly ask him what he is talking about. Wilson explains what happened 20 years ago.

As he explains it, it show the incident. What happened was an alien space craft landed on earth and they were found by Wilson and Martin's dad. Martin was extremely shocked when he heard this and he could believe it, but Stan told him that it is true. The Martians explained that they have been steadying Earth from a far and are hear to invite one human to come visit Mars with them. Martin's dad quickly volunteers. Stan tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't have it. One month later he would leave with the Martins. His stroy ends with him saying goodbye to Martin's dad as he leaves with the Martians.

After hearing the whole stroy, Martin is crying as he remembers when his dad left him and he now knows why. His sadness turns to anger as he is furious that his dad would choose live on Mars over being with him. The Martian however has had a light go off in his head as his memory comes back to him and he remembers Martin's dad. He tells Martin this and says that if he can find a way to comunicate with Mars, maybe he can be able to let Martin talk to his dad. Martin is happy to find out that his dad is still alive. Stan tells them to lay low for awhile and with the Martian's help he will work on a way to communicate with Mars, so not only will he be able to talk to his dad, but that somebody can come get the Martian and bring him home. Luke is freaking out and is scared that the government will find out what they are doing and that they will be in big trouble. Stan tells them about Detective Carlson and this scares Luke even more. Martin calms him down and tells him to keep his cool or they will get caught.

The next day Luke gets a knock on his door and it is Detective Carlson. Luke is scared that he found out, but Carlson is just checking with everybody at the apartment to see if they herd any weird noises or saw anything weird a few nights ago. Martin is hiding the Martian in the back bedroom. Luke stutters as he says, nope didn't see or hear a thing. Carlson: if you do, let me know. Martin accidently makes a lound noise as Carlson is turning away to leave. This causes him to ask to what is going on. Martin walks out and says that he is sorry, and that he is kind of clumsy. Carlson thinks they are hiding something, but he isn't sure, so he leaves. He thinks this because he matches Martin's tire to the tire track he saw at the crash site.

In the early middle part of the movie here are scenes of Martin and Luke hanging out with the Martian and showing him Houston. When they are out around town, the Martian is hiding under a trench coat. They do these things because the Martin was sent to study human culture. He takes notes of everything they do. The big scene in this squences is them at a Houston Astros game. He declares that he will teach the Martian all about baseball and how to play it as he found it really excititng. Luke spotted Dertective Carlson at the game, so they had to watch out for him. They also go to a mall and almost get spotted by the police as they are walking to their car.

The next parts of the movie is some sequences of Stan Wilson and the Martian working on somekind of communication device and scenes of Detective Carlson investigating the crash site. While Carlson is working with Wilson and finds out that it is indeed connected to the alien sighting 20 years ago. Carlson knows that Wilson is hiding something from him and says that he will call the government in on this if he doesn't tell him. Carlson says that he will be back in 2 days and he wants answers. Carlson says, I know who you have been meeting with(Martin and Luke) and I want to know what you and them are hiding.

Wilson, Martin, Luke, and the Martian talk it over and agree to tell him everything as they will be finished building the communication device tomorrow anyways. Carlson shows up and Martin and Luke are there with Wilson. They tell him everything and show him the Martian. Carlson surprisingly isn't mad and doesn't want to take him or arrest them. They are all really shocked and Luke is really relieved. Carlson says that the reason is because he has always believed it was aliens 20 years ago and everyone always laughed at him, so he is just happy to be right and finally see a real martian. He is even willing to let him leave as long as he can go back to Mars with them. Wilson says that they have finished the communication device. After the Martian is finished talking to them about needing a way home, he lets Martin talk to his dad for the first time in 20 years.

When Martin and his dad see each other on the video communication screen they both start crying like babies as they as so happy to finally see each other again. His dad tells him that he is sorry for leaving him and if he could do it over again, he wouldn't have left. Martin says that he really missed him, but that he was always good to his grandma like he told him to be. Martin tells him all about his life and his dad cries knowing that he missed all of it. Then he tells him how he always believed he would come back, on March 5th the same date that he left and then he starts yelling at his dad in anger that he never had a dad growing up while every other kid did. Martin tells his that even though he hated him for what he did, seeing him now and letting his hate out releaved him of it. Martin's dad ask him for forgiveness and Martin forgives him. Their conversation ends with Martin's dad telling him that he is finally coming home. (This is a really emotional scene and a real tear jerker.)

The last scene in the movie is: Martin, Luke, Stan Wilson, Detective Carlson, and the Martian standing in an empty field at night waiting for the space craft to arrive to bring Martin's dad home and to take the Martian home and Carlson with him. When they see the space craft, Luke is the first one to see it. Martin is really nervous/excited to finally see his dad again. It lands, opens up, and two Martians walk out with Martin's dad. He walks over to Martin and they embrace in a big huge with tears rolling down their eyes. The Martians and Detective Carlson get in the space craft and head towards Mars. The movies ends with Martin, his dad, Luke, and Stan Wilson look into the sky as the space craft flys off towards Mars.

(The film is done in a very stylish art with a blue filter very similar to ´Daybreakers´. Only in moments of sun shining it´s getting more richly colored. The film got a flair like Braveheart and Gladiator set in a fantasy oriented world.)

In the mystical world of Ilaron a terrible civil war is raging. The blue-blooded Avaras have declared war against the clans of the Cealar. In the eyes of the Empire, the Cealar are inferior people without honor. The customs of the Cealar appear barbaric to the Avaras. They are a blot on the map. Once they were the slaves of the Avaras, but after the first war they were freed. The armies of the Avaras march across the lands of the Cealar and wipe out one clan after another. In the north of the country, the five remaining clans meet for a war council. The armies of the Avaras are far superior to the Cealar both in numbers and in weapons. The Viper Clan is the last one still willing to fight, the rest wants to surrender to the enemy. Slavis is the leader of the Viper Clan, he is notorious for his will and his strength. His war hammer has already cost hundreds of opponents their life. He appeals to the honor and the pride of his people and tries to persuade them to make a final stand. But the clans turn away from him, their role model. Slavis is shocked, but he is still determined to go to battle one last time. The other clans retreat to the vast mountains of the northern country. Slavis joins his wife and his newborn son in his tent to enjoy his last night in freedom.

The next morning all the other clans have left the camp, only the Viper Clan gets ready for battle. But the preparations are interrupted by loud drums, coming from the nearby hills. We see the flag of the Avaras on the hill. Two swords with a tower in the middle: The emblem of the royal palace. The first arrow is shot and hits the flag carrier in the chest. The flag flies to the ground. The army of the Avaras is led by a general named Aldaros Excers, a ruthless man. He has bribed a warlord from another clan to learn the location of the camp. Now his soldiers are storming the camp of the Viper Clan and kill everyone who gets in their way. After only a few minutes of fighting the clan is nearly exterminated. Slavis stands himself in front of the last remainders of his clans to protect them. The women and children have already fled with about a dozen warriors. Only Slavis and his most loyal men face Aldaros. Slavis only laughs at Aldaros´ cowardly tactics. Then he takes his war hammer and throws it at Aldaros, who can avoid it at the last moment, but the hammer strikes his first mate and smashes his skull. The soldiers kill Slavis and his men. Aldaros walks through the camp enjoying his triumph. He has defeated the last clan. In the midst of the corpses he suddenly hears a whimper. A dead woman is holding a small bundle with a baby. Aldaros takes the baby in his arms and looks at it. He decides to take the child with him and to raise it. “Your name shall be Slave, just Slave to remind you, where you came from.”

Five years later.

Aldaros Excers is now governor of the northern most province of the Avaran kingdom. He is the master of a considerable fortress, which he rules as he pleases. However, he also has to ensure that the huge prison camps run smoothly and that there are no riots. In the past five years the Avaras have enslaved the Cealar again and finally imprisoned them. Only a few have escaped into the mountains, but their will is broken, they do not want to fight anymore. In the camps it is the same, no one has the hope of freedom. Slave has grown into a healthy boy. His foster family has returned him to Aldaros. Of course, he could not take care of the child himself, who actually belongs to the enemy. But now he keeps Slave like his name suggests – like a slave.

In a dungeon cell, Aldaros arranges for Slave to be taught. The boy is quite good at reading and writing, but the only books he gets are on warfare and tactics. On his eighth birthday, Slave gets a personal visit from Aldaros – the first since many weeks. His teacher is sent away and Slave will never see him again. Aldaros introduces Slave to his new teacher. He does not mention his name, Slave is to call him “Captain”. “Captain” is in his mid-thirties and very strict. “Captain” drags Slave into the yard. There he immediately attacks him with a stick, forcing him to the ground. After several hours the exercises are completed and “Captain” returns Slave to his cell. The following days are the same – for the next seven years. Every night, “Captain” visits Slave again and teaches him respect, reason and honor. He is to respect every opponent and honor every killed enemy. During the long seven years something like friendship develops between student and teacher. In these years, Slave also receives several letters from a girl named Alia. She writes that she is the daughter of the foster family, in which Slave grew up until he was five years old. Slave is her last remaining brother and she sees him as part of her family. The letters are smuggled to Slave´s cell with the books he has to read. Most times there is also a blank sheet of paper and a pen to send back messages. But from his fifteenth birthday on, no more letters come. Has Alia changed her mind? How could he think that someone could like him. He is and remains only scum in the eyes of the people in this fortress.

With 18 he becomes a gladiator, which of course only serves to entertain Alderos. The aged general gloats over his toy. To see how a former enemy has to wallow in mud to survive even make the usually stoic man laugh. At every battle, a beautiful blond girl sits in the stands. Slave beliebes that it is Alia. Every time she smiles at him, every time she is the last that leaves. Slave is undefeated and Aldaros rewards him for every single victory. “Captain” always keeps in the background, he finds it disgusting that Aldaros forces Slave to fight. Over weeks and months Slave starts to have so far unknown thoughts: hatred, rage and escape. However, he also receives a letter from Alia – the first since an eternity. She encourages him to flee and wants to help him. She writes that she has become the mistress of Aldaros and therefore can get the keys to the dungeon. In addition, she has found a secret tunnel in the keep of the fortress that leads into the open. But Slave has to be patient, she can free him from the dungeons only in a week. The week feels to Slave like an eternity. But finally the time has passed and Slave can tackle his final training. He can feel the excitement in his body, but he hides it from “Captain” as best as he can. The day is over and Slave is waiting in his cell. He waits and waits and after several hours, he finally hears steps. The door opens and a beautiful blond girl stand in the door. Alia has not forsaken him after all. The two embrace and leave the dungeon. Over the past few weeks, Slave has started to remember his childhood a bit. They sneak across the courtyard, the guards are sleeping at their posts as always. They get into the keep of the fortress and to the secret tunnel without problems. The tunnel leads them to a cave about two miles from the fortress. There Alia stops and wants to say goodbye to Slave. Slave does not understand why she wants to return to the fortress, but Alia explains that Aldaros would probably execute her family if she stays missing. Now Slaves understands and embraces her again and promises her to come back for her, when the time is right. “I won´t forget.”, she whispers in his ear and gives him her necklace. Equipped with supplies and weapons, Slave makes his way north.

“Where is he?”, it echoes through the halls of the fortress. Aldaros storms through the rooms, his entourage following behind him. The general is beside himself with rage. He immediately orders two of his guard put to death publicly. “Captain” is brought to him. He assures Aldaros that he has nothing to with it and Aldaros believes him. “Captain” is one of the few people Aldaros can really trust. Slave´s foster father, Timur, is brought in for questioning as well. He too can convince Aldaros that he had nothing to do with Slave´s outbreak. Aldaros retires to his room and begins to drink. He has lost his showpiece, the evidence of his power. Slave was his property and he has been stolen from him. Several patrols are sent out to find the escapee.

In the meantime, Slave is running around aimlessly in the woods of the north. It is freezing cold, winter has already set in. Half frozen, he reaches a cave where he tries to build a fire. Finally he succeeds and he stays there for the night. The next morning, several unknown figures stand around him. They are all in armor as gray as the sky. Blue war paint decorates the faces of the warriors. “We should kill him right away, maybe he´s a spy.”, one of the warrior says. Finally they bind the sleeping Slave and take him with them. In their camp, a much larger cave hidden inside the forest, they put down Slave close to the fire. The warriors take good, almost motherly, care of their prisoner, who survives the night well. Slave wakes up the next day feeling like a newborn, he has never slept as good as last night. But when he sits up, he looks at the tip of a spear. The warriors have surrounded him again and frag him to his feet. They take him to a kind of chamber in the rear part of the giant cave. On the way there, Slave notices that the cave is inhabited from top to bottom. It seems like a social network has formed like in a metropolis. In the chamber a fierce-looking warrior awaits them. The many ornaments on his armor and war hammer suggest that he is the leader of these people. He introduces himself as Maros, leader of the Raven Clan. Slave introduces himself as well and tells his story. Maros listens closely and whispers to his assistant now and then. The clan´s leader tells Slave of the Cealar´s war against the Avaras and of the legendary Viper Clan and its leader Slavis. Once he lost the last battle against the Avaras, in which his son was captured. It was thought that the son had not survived, but now Maros knows that Slave is this prodigal son. Over the next few weeks, Maros trains Slave personally. Although he is surprised by Slave´s fighting skills, he says that Slave is still missing a leader´s instinct. Slave is to lead the coming revolution. He is a symbol of freedom for all oppressed Cealar.

Meanwhile in his fortress, Aldaros orders several of his officers to be executed. The executions are stage as spectacles and serve as a sort of propaganda. All residents of the fortress and the surrounding villages are brought to the stronghold to attend them. In the surrounding area, there have been rumors that the few remaining free clans of the Cealar are joining up to form an army. “Anybody who has anything at all to do with the disappearance of the gladiator named Slave shall be executed exactly like these incompetent officers. Their failure has exposed the Empire to a direct threat. But I tell you now that we are still master of the situation. The Cealar will never sully the pride and glory of the Empire, that I promise you.”, Aldaros declares from his pedestal. The axes fall and the executions are completed. Aldaros turns away from the happenings and disappears into his room where Alia is waiting for him. While he amuses himself with her, Alia´s facial expression shows how much it disgusts her to satisfy the lecherous old man.

Slave is sitting alone at a campfire, it is night. In his face we see determination coupled with sadness. He misses Alia, his savior. He wishes to free her and her family from the clutches of Aldaros at once. But he knows that his people have to be saved first. “What troubles you, my friend?”, Maros comes to him and sits down besides the fire. Slave tells him of Alia for the first time and of several details from his time as a gladiator in Aldaros´ fortress. Together they sit by the fire knowing what is coming. A new era is dawning, the Cealar will rise.

Aldaros orders Timor, Alia´s father, to ride into the captial of the Avaras in order to seek support. In the meantime, he triples the guards at the prison camps. The patrols are also doubled. Aldaros drowns his frustration in alcohol and continues to amuse himself with the poor Alia. She misses slave and thinks of him every night she spends with Aldaros. Just the thought of Slave cheers her up.

The day has finally arrived. Slave has been chosen to lead the attack at the first prison camp and to liberate the oppressed Cealar. Maros wants him to attack the camp with his troops directly, but Slave rejects this approach. He wants to take a walk. Maros is confused, but he lets Slave go. Slave wanders along the street towards the south. After a few miles he finds what he was looking for: A patrol from Aldaros´ fortress. The patrol spots the Cealar and charges at him. Without really defending himself, Slave lets himself be taken captive. He is taken to the nearest prison camp, where warden Irilda is waiting for him. She inspects the prisoner very closely and immediately sends a messenger to Aldaros´ fortress. What a success it would be for her, if the only woman in a leading position in the Empire could give Aldaros back his lost tressure. Warden Irilda enjoys the respect of her subordinates. But she had to work very hard for that. Irilda does not put Slave into solitary confinement, but puts him with the other prisoners.

A terrible picture presents itself to Slave. His people have to live in their own waste. Only the bare minimum of food is available. A single well serves for water supply and washing facility. Slave had no idea about the misery in the infamous camps, but now he sees that the reality is even worse. Now he is no longer surprised why his people have lost the will to fight. Aldaros has taken the honor and the pride of the once magnificent Cealar and lets them rot. An elderly man named Slovis invites Salve to sit down by the campfire. He tells him of the life in the camp and the agonies suffered by his people. Slave tries to cheer him up and tells Slovis about the Raven Clan and Maros´ plans. “Boy, look into the eyes of your people. Do you see the will to fight anywhere?”, Slovis asks, “There is no sense in fighting anymore. The Empire has won and the last rebels will soon be dead. Aldaros has been charged with invading the north and destroying the resistance.” Slave looks around and realizes that even the most eloquent speech has no purpose here.

It is in the middle of the night when Slave awakens, the whole camp is asleep. He wanders to the wall of the camp and takes a tiny piece of wood out of his pants. He blows into it and a faint, shrill whistle sounds. Suddenly, there come noises from the woods by the camp, it sounds like swords are being banged against shields. The noises become a rhythm. The torches on the walls are lit quickly and Irilda stand ready with a few dozen men. With fire arrows they illuminate the area and see the troops of Maros and his Raven Clan. Irilda calls for all guards and posts them on the walls. Slave rushes back to the prisoners, which have been woken up by the noises as well. Their faces still show same emptiness as before, but within it Slave can see a glimmer of hope, small but there.

The fight begins and the Raven Clan storms the camp. The arches shoot swarms of arrows at the Cealar, but they slide down on their huge shields like water drops. After only a few minutes the gate of the prison camp has been crashed open. Maros storms in first, with his massive war hammer he literally slaughters his opponent. Slave rushes up from behind and kills two guards with a stone. But as the remaining soldiers lay down their weapons and surrender, he shows mercy. He stops every warrior of the Raven Clan, who wants to strike down a defenseless soldier. Maros rushes to Slave and says: “The Avaras have shown no mercy when they raided our villages. We want revenge.” But Slave can´t be deterred and insist that the soldiers should be spared: “If we don´t spare these soldiers, if we don´t show mery, then we are no better than the Avaras. We have to show our strength in a different manner.” Warden Irilda is brought to Maros and Slave. She wants to negotiate the terms for a release. But Slave does not want to negotiate at all. He lets Irilda and all soldiers go without terms, he only tells them to take a message to Aldaros. “The oppression is over.” While Irilda and her men retreat, Slave and Maros liberate the prisoners of the camp.

In the next few weeks, prison camp after prison camp is liberated and less and less blood is shed in the fights. By his actions, Slave has already earned an incredible amount of respect. Maros still prefers weapons to words, but he too respects the Slave´s way. After the last great prison camp is liberated, Slave wants to take a break of one week before attacking Aldaros´ fortress. The freed Cealar need time to rest and to regain their strength. The warriors need rest too. The past weeks have left their mark. Many are injured, some will not survive the next few days. New provisions must be procured as well, so Maros agrees. Slave leaves the base camp looking for peace. And to see someone again after many weeks. Like he promised Alia, he places her necklace in the cave and awaits her arrival. She has promised in return, to look for the necklace in the cave regularly. Slave hopes that she hasn´t broken her promise or even worse, has been caught. After two days of waiting, the time has finally come. The beautiful blonde girl arrives and breaks into tears of joy when she sees Slave. They embrace and kiss each other deeply. Both can see the hardships of the past few weeks on the other. Aldaros has called Alia every night to drive away his frustration by using and abusing her. After the first camp was stormed, he had warden Irilda executed immediately, just like all the other soldiers from the camp. After talking for hours, Slave and Alia say goodbye to each other and arrange another meeting for the next night. Alia goes back into the fortress through the tunnel. Stealthily, she slips through the tunnel system and opens the hidden door to the fortress. Everything seems like usual. But then suddenly, Alia is knocked down and gets dragged away.

As the distraught girl wakes up again, she is tied to a chair in Aldaros´ chambers. The general and “Captain” are standing in front of her, along with two other soldiers. “You meant everything to me, child. How could you betray me like that?”, Aldaros screams. Alia stammers something unintelligible under her breath. Aldaros starts to beat her. He abused her in the worst way. Finally, „Captain“ grabs his master and pulls him away from the helpless girl. Aldaros, heavily drunk again, pushes “Captain” away and orders him out of the room. “Captain” has to obey and goes. He leaves Aldaros, who is standing threateningly above Alia, and the girl alone back in the room.

Slave waits for Alia the whole night. When she does not appear, he is very worried immediately. He hurries to Maros and asks him to ready his warriors for battle. He and a small delegation including Maros ride under a white banner to Aldaros´ fortress. There they are welcomed by archer aiming crossbows at them. Minutes later, Aldaros and “Captain” appear on the wall too. Aldaros seems to be drunk again and acts like he is crazed. His usually well-kept hair is disheveled, his face looks sunken. It is plain to see, how the once highly respected general has been humiliated. Sluring, he welcomes his opponents and then rants and raves at them. “Captain” nods respectfully to Slave, who returns the nod. “General Aldaros, we have come here to ask you to retreat from this area. This land belongs to the Cealar.”, Slave calls up to his former master. “You want freedom and piece, just like your little friend. Her malicious treachery could not be hidden from me.”, the old man shouts down from the walls. Slave stares at him, his eyes show terror. Suddenly, Aldaros takes out a small bag and throws it down to Slave. “See what you get, when you rise up against me.”, he cries delusional. Slave stares at the bag, which seems to be falling down to the ground in slow motion. When it lands on the ground, a head roll out of it. A head with blond hair and empty crystal blue eyes. Alia´s head lies in the mud in front of him. Slave starts to scream in anger, one can hear him for miles. Even “Captain” stares at his master, he cannot believe what Aldaros has done. Timor, Alia´s father, storms at Aldaros, but the old man grabs him and throws him down the wall as well. Now father and daughter lie side by side in the mud. “Captain” grabs Aldaros and pulls him away from the wall. Slave is still screaming. Maros draws his friend aside and the delegation turns back.

“Captain” takes Aldaros to his rooms to let him sleep off his intoxication. Meanwhile, he begins with the preparations for battle, for one thing is certain – battle will come. “Captain” is aware that he has done nothing wrong, but yet he can betray his people no more, than Slave could betray his. The reinforcement troops of the Empire have arrived as well. More than four thousand men are at “Captain´s” command. Later that evening, Aldaros joins them in planning. All stare at their master, as if he is the devil himself. Together they make plans for the imminent attack of the Cealar. Aldaros proposes a strategy, which is reminiscent of the aged general´s more glorious times.

In the camp of the Cealar, Slave is raging. Maros has to remind him of his own honor and virtue. Finally, Slave calms down and wants their entire force to form up. Three days later, the time has come. The whole army has gathered and marches towards the Aldaros´ fortress.

“Captain” expects his old pupil with a grim face. Somehow, he senses that this day could be his last. But he still will not give up without a fight. A loud noise sounds from the mountains in the north. “Captain” knows what awaits him. Slave´s army appears between the trees. It is a huge army, more than ten thousand men strong. The faces of the warriors are painted blue, they look fearsome and barbaric. The warriors storm the wall and put up ladders, but many are struck down by the hail of arrows. Slave and Maros dash forward to the wall and climb it within seconds. Maros fells four crossbowmen with his war hammer. Slave throws down a defender from the wall and kills two others. The Cealar finally ram the gate and storm the fortress. The defenders don´t have a chance. But this time, no mercy is shown, everyone who gets into Slave´s path is killed. Outside the entrance to Aldaros´ rooms, “Captain” and a few remaining defenders await Slave. “It has been a long time, Slave. It pleases me to see what you have become.”, “Captain” says to his old pupil. “I am glad as well. Now step aside and you and your soldiers can return to the Empire peacefully.”, Slave urges “Captain.” “You know that I cannot do that.”, “Captain” replies. Slave nods and attacks his former master with full strength. He knows perfectly well that “Captain” would rather die than return to the Empire defeated. They fight bitterly against each other, yet the respect they have for each other is obvious. Finally, Slave knocks “Captain´s” sword out of his hand and rams his own through his chest. As “Captain” goes down, he smiles one last time before he closes his eyes forever. Maros distracts the rest of the soldiers, so Slave can enter Aldaros´ chambers.

Slave closes the door behind himself and looks at the puddle of blood in front of him. Here the old general must have killed Alia. The formerly very popular warlord lies drunken in his bed as always. But he sees that someone is in his room. Sluring, he calls for “Captain”, who doesn´t answer. Suddenly, he is pulled to his feet and pushed against a wall. When water is poured into his face, he sees more clearly. Slave is standing in front of him and starts to choke him, then he lets go again and Aldaros slumps to the ground. When he gets up, he collects the next beating. Slave wreaks his whole anger on him. Almost crippled, Aldaros stand up one more time. Slave hands him his old word with which he once killed Slave´s father. Slave lets Aldaros attack him, but of course, his attempts fail miserably. Slave torments the general like the general once tormented him. “You know, Slave, you were my showpiece. You were the proof of my power.”, the general slurs. Slave stands now exactly in front of Aldaros while he strikes out with his two-handed sword. “And yet you have now lost all your power.”, Slave say and strikes down.

Maros waits impatiently in front of Aldaros´ chambers. The fortress has already been taken and the prisoners are made ready for transport. The soldiers who have surrendered are to protect the population on their way to the Empire. Slave comes out of Aldaros´ rooms with a hard gaze. Maros briefly looks into the room and sees Aldaros´ lifeless body. He follows Slave into the yard. “It is a good fortress, we can use it to rebuild our kingdom.”, Maros suggests. But Slaves shakes his head and says: “Burn the fortress down.” Slave walks to the assembled army. The eyes of the warrior show newly bloomed hope. “We have won a great victory today, but now we must build a new home for our people.”, Slave declares. Together with Maros, Slave will head the Cealar and lead them to a prosperous future. Even the Empire will no longer be able to threaten the Cealar. A new era has begun.

Plot:

We open with a shot of the orbit of a purple planet: Chau Sara. Some seconds we just see the silent planet. Suddenly some alien spaceships appear after they leave the hyperspace. About one minute they hover above the planet. Then they start to shoot with their board weapons. The surface of the planet gets burned to ash. The formerly beautiful world is destroyed.

It’s the early 26th century. Due the overpopulation of earth in the early 21st century Terran exiles have colonized a distant area of the Milky Way galaxy called the Koprulu Sector. Most of the worlds in this sector are under the control of the bureaucratic and tyrannical Confederation, which domineers over the colonies while taxing them very hard. At least they still have their freedom…for now. On lightly populated, Mars-like planet Mar Sara word of mouth spreads around the colonists about the destruction of Chau Sara. Col. Jim Raynor is ordered to move the colonists to the desolate outlands of Mar Sara. The Confederation promises that they´ll find safety at the camps there. Marshal Jim Raynor is in a bar when he gets the order. He put on his armor suit from the infamous Heaven´s Devils troops who were heroes in the time of the Guild Wars between the Terran factions in the Koprulu Sector. Now he serves for the Confederation. But after his son Johnny died in an accident and his wife, blaming herself, died of grief, Raynor isn´t that loyal anymore like he was before the deaths. Now he put some decisions of the Confederation into question as he does with the plans of evacuation. But for now he follows the order and leads with some troops of his militia Space Marines the colonists on their journey to the camps. After some days they finally reach the camps where the colonists should wait for the evacuation transporters. The Space Marines and Raynor secure the camps and wait for new orders but then Raynor receives a radio message of the Blackwater-Station which is only a few miles ahead from the camps. The station is getting attacked by the Zergs, a bug-like alien race that rely on biological weapons. Before Raynor can start a rescue mission general Edmund Duke appears with his Alpha Squadron and orders Raynor to cancel the rescue mission. Raynor heavily debates with Duke because he doesn’t want to let down the people of the Blackwater-Station. So the insurgent marshal starts the rescue mission without the approval of Duke. When Raynor and his troops reach the Blackwater-Station they find it completely destroyed and somewhat of contaminated. The Zergs attack Raynor and his troops but they can defeat the aliens. After the battle they destroy the station with the remaining Zerg inside. Raynor returns to the camps where he has to be answerable to Duke. Raynor blames the Confederation for doing nothing to prevent Chau Sara from being destroyed and now giving up Mar Sara as well. Duke orders to arrest Raynor. He should be extradited to the Terran home planet Tarsonis where he will be taken to court for his doings. The colonists and Space Marines protest against the decision but Duke doesn’t change his decision.

So Raynor gets arrest and is taken away by a transporter. He must leave behind his people, his soldiers and his friends while the Zergs dispread in an irresistible measure. After some hours of travelling the prison-transporter gets attacked by a terroristic organization called Sons of Korhal. A woman, Sarah Kerrigan and some troops of the Sons of Korhal hijack the transporter and free Jim Raynor. He is a bit pissed that he, the self-proclaimed badass soldier of Mar Sara is secured by a woman. Jim thanks Kerrigan with a machismo pick-up line but the attractive woman respond to it with a crushing refusal. Kerrigan shows some incredible fighting skills along with psionic powers Raynor only knows from a former project of the Confederation where they trained people with some special skills to later known “Ghosts”. Ghosts were chosen from psychically-gifted individuals who were trained from infancy to channel their psionic energies to augment their natural physical strength and endurance. Conscripts who successfully completed the program´s training then served as commandos and assassins. Kerrigan is one of these “Ghosts” but she turned off from the Confederation and joined the Sons of Korhal. Now she´s one of the key operative for Arcturus Mengsk, the leader of the Sons of Korhal. Arcturus Mengsk wants Raynor to join his faction. “Jim, we´ve got a mission. We have to free the people of Koprulu from the barbarous, corrupted Confederation. They will lead the people into certain death,” Mengsk says. He´s a great orator, capable of inspiring even the most disheartened men. Raynor gets encouraged by the words of Mengsk and joins the Sons of Korhal, ignoring the fact that he will be an outlaw from now on. Together they work out a plan to evacuate the population and troops from Mar Sara. Meanwhile Edmund Duke and his Alpha Squadron already left the planet to avoid action with the Zerg. The militia of Jim Raynor and the rebel troops of Mengsk along with the remaining soldiers of the Confederation who already joined Mengsk are preparing a fort for the defending against the Zergs. The final outland camp is well guarded now. At the dead of night suddenly the alert sounds all over the camp. On the horizon we can already see the Zerg hordes. They come like locusts over a grainfield when they start with their engage on the camp. Raynor fights with pride and glory in his heart while he´s saving as many men as he can from the Zerg. But still the fight seems to be futile. Suddenly the Zerg crush the gate of the fort and rush inside to kill everyone alive. Raynor contacts Mengsk by radio message to ask for evacuation. Finally the transporters arrive and pick up the colonists and the remaining troops. But before they leave the planet Mengsk wants Raynor to steal a special disk from a hidden base of the Confederation on the surface. Without any problems Raynor manages to get the disk because of the Confederation troops have leaved the planet before the Zerg engage. Then the Sons of Korhal move with their ships into hyperspace on their way for Antiga Prime.

Few hours after the Sons of Korhal and Raynor have left the planet the spaceships from the beginning appears in the orbit of Mar Sara. First time we can catch a look from inside. Strange looking but humanoid aliens are on the spaceships. They are called Protoss. The leader of this fleet of spaceships is a very wise and strategic one, known as Tassadar. He looks down to the surface of the planet were he can see the hordes of Zerg. His fleet lay waste and death over Mar Sara, wiping out every single Zerg on the planet. Tassadar shows no sign of mercy but for the planet itself. “Another beautiful place doomed forever,” he says.

On the main spaceship of the Sons of Korhal Arcturus Mengsk, Raynor and Kerrigan are talking about the upcoming revolution on Antiga Prime. The local government is tired of bear the misery of the population caused by the dreadful Confederation. But they aren’t ready to start the revolution because General Edmund Duke is already on the planet with the feared Alpha Squadron to devastate the revolt. Raynor and Kerrigan are ordered by Arcturus Mengsk to lead a small force on the surface of the planet. “Shouldn’t we first wipe out the Zergs from the whole Koprulu Sector?” Raynor asks. “The major evil is the Confederation. People won´t be set free until the Confederation is annihilated,” Mengsk answers. Raynor got a bad feeling about the mission. He knows that many of the people of Antiga Prime will die at the revolution. Few minutes before the mission should start Raynor receives a radio message from Mengsk. Duke´s spaceship Norad II has been engaged by the Zergs and has crashed some miles away from the capital of Antiga Prime. Mengsk revokes his order instead of it Raynor and Kerrigan should save Duke from the Zergs. He could be a special ally. Raynor is somewhat of confused when he comes to know that the Zergs have already reached Antiga Prime. Mengsk reveals that the Confederation has invented a special device called PSI-Emitter which can infiltrate the mind of the Zergs leader and lure them with their swarm to the planet wherever they want to have them. But this obvious trap has gone wrong. When Raynor arrives at the battlefield he sees Duke with his soldiers fighting a futile fight against the hordes of Zergs. “A tragedy to help the man who´s almost responsible for the death of thousands on Mar Sara,” Raynor says. He starts with the attack. His forces kill the Zergs while Kerrigan uses her special skills against the bugs. Raynor is very impressed by the powers of Kerrigans psionic skills and that’s why he will keep an eye on her. After they´ve defeated the Zergs they arrest Duke and his soldiers. Raynor takes Duke with him and bring him to Mengsk. While he is walking away the soldiers of Mengsk kills the soldiers of the Confederation in the background. “I can´t understand why the Zergs have found us that fast Mengsk. What is up with this PSI-Emitter you have talked about?” Raynor asks. “The Zergs are lead by their leaders by mind controlling. If the Confederation can infiltrate the mind of the higher leaders of them they can control the whole Zerg race. You have stolen a special disc for me. It contains information about their tests with the emitter and their tests with the psionic talented units you know as “Ghosts”. Kerrigan was one of them. We have to study their work to use the emitter for our plans, Raynor,” Mengsk says with a demonical smile. “You have one of them, don’t you?” Raynor asks Mengsk with some fear in his voice. Mengsk nods. He wants Raynor and Kerrigan to place the emitter in front of the base of the Confederation to test its power. During their doing Mengsk organize the retreat of the Sons of Korhal and the rebels of Antiga Prime from their home planet. Raynor place the emitter in front of the base of the Confederation, attracting their attention. He starts the device and laughs at the soldiers of the Confederation which are shooting at him. He turns around and departs with his speed-motorcycle while the Zergs appear in the background. Millions of them rush to the base of the Confederation. The soldiers just can look to the destruction the Zergs bring to the planet. While the Zergs destruct the Confederation on Antiga Prime Mengsk, Raynor, Kerrigan and the troops of the Sons of Korhal and the rebels flees from the planet. Some hours later the Protoss fleet arrives at the planet but this time they gave the remaining Terrans time to escape, even offering an alliance against the Zerg. But the Terrans just run for their lives. Once the remaining outposts of the Confederation have been evacuated Antiga Prima befalls the same fate as Chau Sara and Mar Sara. In the meantime, Tassadar´s rearguard is overwhelmed and entirely wiped out as the Zerg throw their full weight against them.

On the main ship of the fleet of the Sons of Korhal Arcturus Mengsk calls for a meeting. Raynor, Kerrigan, Duke and Mengsk are part from the meeting. They discuss their plans for their ultimate revenge. Everybody discuss with emotions only Duke looks calm and very disinterested. “What´s up with you Edmund? Isn´t it refreshing to join the terroristic branded force of the Sons of Korhal. The force you have fought for so long,” Mengsk says sarcastic. “I´m just here because you constrain me to do… But if you really want to attack Tarsonis you need more than some rebels and a fleet of half destroyed warships which would fall to dust when one shot hit them,” Duke says. Mengsk starts laughing: “Oh you can trust me… We don’t need a huge fleet or a huge army. The Zerg will do the jobs for us we don’t have to give just a single shot.” Raynor stares at Mengsk when he said that. He can´t believe that he just think about using the Zergs for his plan he will risk the lives of millions just to gain revenge. Mengsk recognizes that Raynor isn’t satisfied with the procedure. “To achieve victory you have to be prepared to pay a high price,” Mengsk says. Raynor agrees with that. He wants nothing more than see the Confederation laying dead in the dust of Tarsonis… even if it costs millions of lives?

“The Confederation saves you from the menace of the rebels and the Zerg. Tarsonis is the safest place in this sector.” This message resounds all over New Gettysburg. But when the camera zooms to the faces of the people we see the fear in their eyes. They know that the Sons of Korhal gains massive strength and recruits thousand of new soldiers. “The Commander” orders thousands of soldiers to the frontier of New Gettysburg. They prepare their defense for the fight against the Sons of Korhal. Lead by Arcturus Mengsk the Sons of Korhal only needs a few days to reach Tarsonis. The time flies for Jim Raynor. During their journey he talks with Kerrigan about the “Ghosts”. She tells him that she feels that the Zerg have somewhat of a connection to her when she fights them. “The Zerg aren’t that primitive like we think they are. Maybe not the single bug but their leaders are very high intelligent,” Kerrigan says. “Leaders? I thought they are just a horde of brainless bugs…” Raynor says. “No, they are lead by something… well what should I say… upper intelligent?” They are interrupted by Mengsk: “We are there… Tarsonis waits for us and our revenge…” The planet called Tarsonis is in front of the fleet of the Sons of Korhal. The fleet positions above the planet and sends some transporter to penetrate an orbital platform to send more troops quickly to the surface. The troops of the rebels are lead by Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan. They engage an outpost of New Gettysburg and conquer it. Mengsk gives new orders for his troop and wants Raynor to drive to the city and put the emitter in front of it. In the middle of the night Raynor awakes and leaves his tent. He looks to the giant city of the Confederation. The lights of the city brighten the desert in front of it. A beautiful look. The next day Raynor starts with his mission and put the PSI-emitter in front of the city and waits until Mengsk activates it. Only one hour past then the Zerg arrive at the planet. Billions of them rush to New Gettysburg and kill anyone they can find. Mengsk receives a radio message from one of his scouts that the Protoss fleet has arrived. Tassadar looks at the planet while the Zerg invade the planet. He knows that he will never get a chance like this again to wipe out that many Zerg. Suddenly the spaceship of him gets hit by some torpedo. The fleet of the Protoss has special shields so the torpedo doesn’t harm the spaceship. Tassadar orders to send the troops to the surface to fight the Zerg there too. Mengsk reacts and orders Kerrigan to attack the Protoss until the Zerg have wiped out the whole Confederation. Raynor who fights with his soldiers at his base with the incoming Zerg hears the order and goes enrage because he know that Mengsk wouldn’t hesitates in immolating Kerrigan and her troops. So Raynor rushes to New Gettysburg where Kerrigan fights against the Protoss. With her psionic skills she can hold off the Protoss from overrunning the city and wiping out the Zerg. Per radio message Raynor begs Kerrigan for retreat but she denies. “He saved my life many years ago. If I don’t follow his order I would betray him. I´m sorry Jim,” she answers. From his main spaceship Mengsk follows the happening of the fight and smiles when he watches the Zerg wiping out his enemy: The Confederation. He rises from his seat and orders every single soldier to retreat from the planet´s surface. Jim Raynor wants to defy the order but gets arrested by his own soldiers. While his transporter retreats he has to watch how Kerrigans base is getting overrun by the Zerg and her radio message is finally cut off. She stands up from her hiding spot and looks to the hordes of Zerg which rush to her. Now she realizes that Mensgk has betrayed her and spends her last thought to Raynor. After this incident Raynor confronts Mengsk with his doing but Mengsk just laughs at Raynor and wants to kill him. Somehow Raynor is able to flee and gather a small army of ships and forces which are still loyal to him. They leave the planet, heading for parts unknown. “Raynor, soon enough we will meet again and then I shall punish you for your betray!” Mengsk screams when he sees the fleet of Raynor leave. Soon the Sons of Korhal also leave the planet for its doom.

In the orbit Tassadar continues to fight the Zerg with the full might of his army but more and more “bugs” arrive. The Zerg descend on the spaceships of the Protoss dealing devastatingly damage. Hundred of the smaller spaceships get destroyed, hundreds of Protoss fall. Even one of the mother-spaceships is totally contaminated with the Zerg plaque and gets destroyed. Tassadar has no reinforcements left because of this odd Tassadar orders a retreat back to Protoss space. Suddenly he is contacted in secret by an old but wise Protoss warrior named Zeratul who is the leader of an old, almost forgotten group of special Protoss called Dark Templar who was exiled from the government of the protoss decades ago. Zeratul says that he knows the secret in defeating the Zerg but Tassadar have to meet him in person. The leader of the Protoss fleet knows that to have any contact with the Dark Templar is punishable by death. But he ignores this fact and agrees to the meeting.

On the planet of Korhal Mengsk is crowned Emperor Arcturus I of the Terran Dominion: A new authoritarian regime which replaces the authoritarian Confederation. “A bit ironical, isn’t it?” Raynor says when he watches the sector-wide transmission. We see Mengsk standing behind desk with Duke on his right side. Mengsk starts with his speech: “Fellow Terrans, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. It is time for us as nations, and as individuals to set aside our longstanding feuds and unite. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us, and we must seek refuge upon higher ground, lest we be swept away by the flood. The Confederation is no more. Whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom… A memory. With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought by the alien invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and communities destroyed by the calculated blows of the Protoss. We have seen firsthand our friends and loved ones consumed by the nightmarish Zerg. The time has come my fellow Terrans, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength. Already many of the dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole, capitulating ONLY to a single throne. And from that throne… I shall watch over you. From this day forward, let no human make war upon any other human. Let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning. And let no man consort with alien powers. And to all the enemies of humanity, seek not to bar our way. For we shall win through… No matter the cost.“

Raynor stares at the screen in his spaceship while the speech of Mengsk ends. “One regime replaces one other. What an irony… Again people has to be frightened since their hype will end soon enough when they´ll see the true face of Mengsk. God help us all…” he says. Tiredly he walks through the deck of the spaceship to his cabin. He falls asleep. He sees the face of Sarah Kerrigan while she smiles in a beautiful way. He has romantic interests in her. But then he sees flames coming up burning his beloved Sarah. He sees the Zergs while they are killing her… no… not killing her. She is being held by the Zergs, with her calling out to him with her psionic powers. Raynor awakes drenched in sweat: “She´s alive…” The spaceship of Raynor starts its engine and jump into hyperspace for a rescue mission. “I will not lose my family once again,” Raynor says when we cut to black.

From the direction that the magic is cast a beautiful women appears on a horse with soldiers in white armor beside her. She directs the soldiers to carry the four bodies back to base. Introductions of cast members take place; the beautiful woman introduces herself as the Hilda, Princess Of Fynn while the three bodies are Firion, Guy & Maria. The Princess explains who the Emperor of Palamecia is and what he did to their town Terra, survivors are unlikely to be there. They are in town of Altair. Firion, Guy & Maria want to help in some way as they have no home anymore, princess says this is their home and sends them on an easy errand. They are to go to Prince Scott, her fiancee, to ask him if he has any more information on the Empires movements.

Firion, Guy & Maria travel by horse to Fynn, the Grand capital shining in the light in all its splendor. There they find that the town is unusually quiet...there is a main event going on in the public square. They hear a speech being said by a soldier in a dark knight. Fynn was now a part of the Palamecian Empire. Firion, Guy & maria are shocked and retreat to the nearest pub. Their frantic talk is overheard by the bar keeper, he command them to stay silent at once. He takes them into the kitchen of the pub and shows them to a secret staircase, the remnants of the royal house of Fynn had escaped there. Firion, Guy & Maria know that this is where Prince Scott must be, they rush to the sewers below only to find the royal family in great worry. Prince Scott had gone to fight the Martidor, a beast set off into the sewers by the Palamecian Empire, he hadn’t returned yet. Firion, Guy & maria ran see if prince Scott was safe. They found him dying, prince scott quickly tells them that the Empire had built and airship called the Dreadnought capable of destroying cities easily. In his last words he gave his ring to Firion, Guy & maria, saying the monster was weak, the power of the ring would help them defeat it. Firion, Guy & maria find it hard to beat the great Martidor, a beast similar to a horse but double in size. At their great difficulty the ring shines white and out of it comes a mythical warrior of old, Shiva. A water princess that aids the youngster in battle and vanquishes the martidor and returns to the ring thereafter. Firion, Guy & maria give the bad news to the royal family and sneak out of the city via an exit through the sewers and reach Altair.

As soon as Princess Hilda sees the ring she knows that Prince Scott no longer lives. The news Firion, Guy & maria give her about the airship dreadnought was of great concern. She tells Firion, Guy & maria they have deserved a break after their frantic adventure. She says they should keep the ring as it may aid them at their most neediest in the future.

The Princess receives information that the Dreadnought was built by the villagers in Mysidia, the entire village had been enslaved to build the ship. The Princess decides that the first priority was to free the village from the Empire and to get information about how to destroy the Dreadnought directly from from the hands that built the ship. Firion and Guy are sent on this important mission but also along with the Queen’s close aide; Minwu. A counter mission was also decided upon, legend has it that a great magical tomb called the Ultima lies at the far end of the continent. Josef is sent to retrieve this, Maria also decides to go with him. Firion, Guy & Maria have an emotional farewell before they part ways.

The Emperor is seen on the dreadnought which lies docked in Mysidia. He says if the cannons of the ship are ready to be tested yet? He is told that it will still take a few hours and that the ship is ready for normal flying. The Emperor says their first target spot isn’t that far so there’s no need to start flying the ship yet.

Firion, Guy & Minwu reach the cliff that overlooks the town of Mysidia; the whole town is almost dwarfed by the massive airship. The ship looked like it had come out of hell itself, colours black and red, it didn’t look like any of the airships in the sky at the moment; it was more of a demonic monster. The three sneak into town during midnight and get to the inn, the Princess said an informant will be there to help them. The informant tells them that the only way to destroy the ship is to use Egil’s Bow on its engines. An ancient bow hidden deep within the Dreadnought itself. Just then everyone feels vibrations; the dreadnought has started its engines. They go outside to see the colossal ship awake from slumber and go into the skies, its moving away from the town. Firion & Guy run toward the ship, they have to track it down in order to get into the ship. Minwu is told to stay and free the townspeople once the ship has gone out of sight. The ship moves towards the cliffs, it’s getting out of Firion & Guys reach; just then they see the cannons of the ship come out.

On the ship the Emperor says that the first target is in sight. The commanders of the ship are confused; the Empire tells them to destroy Mysidia; the hands that made the ship must be destroyed. Such a ship can never be made again. No-one even doubts carrying our the Emperors command and the order is given swiftly.

Firion & Guy realise the the target is Mysidia but its to late. Blasts going out of the ship hit the unsuspecting town and in two minutes flat the town lies in flames. They go through the town and find no soul alive, Minwu is dead too.

Meanwhile Maria & Josef get to the magical tomb and retrieve the Ultima weapon without much difficulty, just as they leave the tomb speaks. “Thou mortals art pitiful. You dare take the power which lay in slumber since before you walked upon the Earth? You must learn your place! The first soul who touched the power will perish. The other soul? Well know this young one, the cost of using this weapon won’t only be counted in gold”. Just as the tomb spoke Josef collapsed and said his last words, “Protect the Princess at all costs”.

The humble Palace of town Altair is where everyone is gathered yet again. The death of Josef and the tragedy at Mysidia is known to all. The princess says it’s time for a final attack, one where they will lose men for sure. But they will come out of it with the Palamecian Emperor defeated. Not even one soul in the after life should be able to say that their death was unnecessary!

The Princess proclaims that she will surrender to the Emperor along with two others, be taken aboard Palamecia and destroy the Emperor. In the meanwhile an assault must be launched against the dreadnought, an air battle. The Fleet Of Fynn resides in Altair, not in the capital; they will assault the dreadnought. Firion & Maria convince the Princess to take her with them on the dreadnought, she’ll need their help. Firion & Maria will help create a diversion while the Princess confronts the Emperor. Minwu will do what he’s always enjoyed doing, flying! He’ll be the right hand man of the commander of the Fleet Of Fynn.

A fierce battle begins between the fleet and the dreadnought who is a day away from help from the capital of Palamecia. In the pure struggle a small airship flies close to Dreadnought and sends the Princess, Maria & Firion into it. The Princess surrenders herself and demands to be brought in front of the Emperor. Once in front of the Emperor the Princess signals to Maria. Maria uses Ultima and with its power kills any soul in the room, but the power reflects off the Emperor and hits Maria.

Maria collapses onto the floor. Firion calls the Emperor a monster and charges towards him and thus begins a duel. The Princess tries to heal Maria but nothing happens, she smiles to herself. She wonders why the Ultima power reflected off the Emperor.

The airship battle is waging on. Many small airships litter the sky with one massive airship (the dreadnought) in the middle, nothing seems to be hurting it. Minwu reminds the fleet that they must target the engines shields so that when Egil’s bow is retrieved they can destroy the dreadnought easily.

Firion is tired as the Emperor laughs and dodges each of his attacks easily. Finally the Emperor kicks Firion forward and just as he does this the Princess comes into the fight with her own double edged sword. Firion runs out of the room, he has to find the bow while the Princess fights the Emperor. Just as he tries to leave the Emperor shuts the door and proclaims that what they seek is in this very room; it can only be received if the Emperor were to die.

Minwu’s ships successfully dodge the cannon fires from the dreadnought and break the shields of the dreadnought engines.

The emperor, Princess & Firion continue fighting till the Emperor kocks Firion and the Princess onto the floor. He is clearly tired himself, it’s clear the Emperor hasn’t fought anyone in a long time. The Emperor moves in for a killin blow to Firion, just then the Princess gets up and tries to stab the Emperor from the back, her sword doesn’t pierce his shield but it does shatter it. And then Maria stands up and uses Ultima once again with as much power as she can muster. This time the spell hits the Emperor and kills him, but the power refuses to leave without devouring one last soul. The life is sucked out of Maria just as she realises whats about to happen and tries to give Firion a final smile. The Princess tells him that the Ultima must kill two souls at once and that the Devil Armor the emperor worse could repel any spell at all. The two search the room for the bow, they finally find it behind the throne room chair.

With the Emperors death the dreadnought goes into disarray, it’s easy for the Princess & Firion to escape. Firion carries maria’s body to where they are picked up by a Fynn Airship. The bow is used by Firion and destroys the dreadnought.

Minwu, Firion & the Princess return to Altair while the fleet decides to take care of the few reinforcements that were sent by the Empire. It would still take a year or so to free all the cities the Empire had conquered but the main foe had been destroyed.

A funeral is held for Maria. Minwu & Firione leave flowers on her grave. The Princess gives both of them awards for helping and asks them what they would want to do next. Minwu says he wants to continue to help free the cities; Firione says that he is sick of the war and wants to go to the Easter continent, the land of Elves. He wants to journey there and see if he can make sense of all that has happened. The two friends say their farewells and set off the find their own FINAL FANTASY.

Plot:

Lars, Marcus, and Lisa are pigeons living in San Francisco. Marcus and Lisa are together, while Lars pines away and complains about his life. Lars is very jumpy any time a car comes and dreams of escaping to the mountains, but Marcus and Lisa both insist that pigeons are meant to live in cities, not in mountains, where large predators could easily devour them. Lars insists that humans are just as bad as anything else, as a rude businessman nearly steps on him before he flutters out of the way.

Upon hearing Lars speak badly of the humans, Balthazar goes on one of his legendary rants, explaining that pigeons are built to rely on the humans for their sources of food, all the while chewing on a hamburger bun that a little girl had dropped earlier. But Lars still has visions, seeing planes and bigger birds soar so effortlessly through the sky... maybe he was meant for something more?

One night, when Lars is timidly eating some scraps of bread on the sidewalk, two rats try to make themselves look like big monsters rather than pigeons without wings. Charlie and Mike are able to scare off the timid Lars and take all his bread. The scraps of bread aren't great, but the thrill of scaring off the timid Lars makes it more than worth it.

He sees a seagull in the sky, beautiful compared to all the pigeons, and he yearns to be like her. Lucille occasionally tantalizes the pigeons with tales of the giant human gathering place that has tens of thousands of humans dropping amazing food throughout the spring and summer, but Balthazar is quick to dismiss that as nonsense, not wanting Lars to become infatuated with an impossible dream.

Yet Lars runs away, following seagulls as best he can,and he finally reaches this stadium, but finds the seagulls scary and aggressive, and quickly retreats back to the subway. He accepts his position as a pigeon, and learns to identify that rats and not giant nor particularly scary. Balthazar goes on to lecture him, and he accepts those lectures.

But realizing he misses his city life, and she the giant stadium, they reluctantly return to where they come from, but not without having learned more from their adventures, and they do the best they can to keep in touch.

Claire reveals to Chris that she knows he has sided with the renaissance party and is responsible for starting the fire and riots today which have killed many many people. Chris questions Claire about her own motives and even her job, for the first time. Claire is a member of the Sisters Of Nine, a mysterious sect of warriors the head of the city controls. Chris says this was the only way to fight corruption, dictatorship had to be done away with to make way for democracy. Claire tells Chris that all his talk of power has made him someone she detests instead of loves, she feels he is beyond redemption after the kinds of things he did for the rebels, in a quick swipe, without hesitation, she gets her small blade out (emblazoned with the symbol of the Sisters Of Nine) and moves it towards him.

The camera pans out , white flowers are now red...covered in blood...

HIS STORY

- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -

Chris wakes up suddenly to find that he was saved by a man named Greg Hillus.. Chris had been out for 3 days, he had missed a lot of what happened in the real world. Greg tells him that he found him lying at the bottom of the southern hill. He goes on to tell him that Bravista was now under the controls of the renaissance party, the old ruler Thiagon was overthrown and the Sisters Of Nine had disappeared overnight, assumed to have abandoned Bravista by the people and everyone else. The renaissance party leader Frion was in charge now. Chris, overjoyed at his side having won decided to go to Bravista right away, he could never be fully happy though, he still couldn’t get over the dream of Claire trying to kill him, he knew a Sister Of The Nine never disobey orders from the 10th Sister, who is the head of the nine sisters that serve her eternally. It was just a dream though, but that hill, something happened on it. The last thing he can remember is going to that hill. If the sisters of nine had left then Claire must have left with them, he had to find her!

A flashback to his and Claire’s growing relationship. A montage shows how he first met Claire when she saved him from being robbed. The attraction for both of them was instantaneous. They get to know each other more over time. A kiss ends the montage.

Chris was in the Glades Of Alomos, a small clearing before a ring of tree’s opened up to Bravista, this glade gave ample sight of any enemies trying to come to the city. On each other side Bravista had massive mountains acting as shields to protect it from the world beyond. Chris saw Bravista, the cottages, the chimneys, the carts with donkeys moving them, the guards in steel armor (now with the rebel insignia on them) and of course the magnificent Bravista Palace’s peak visible over the many many parts of the town. The part of the town affected by the fire and riots was further in, he saw several on the spot hospitals had been opened there.

Chris decides to go to the Palace. Frion, who was the leader of the rebels would be overjoyed to see him and now the town would be under their rule. Before Chris even entered the palace an arrow was shot at him, and he fell asleep. He woke up in the dungeons, both his hands were chained to the wall and Frion stood in front of him, he explained how his “death” had made the population overthrow Thiagon the old ruler. The public had been lead to believe that Thiagon had corrupted the sisters of nine and with them he was out to destroy the renaissance party which was seen as an act of disruption to the law and order. Frion told Chris that it was Claire’s supposed murder of him that caused the whole chain of events. The betrayal of the Sisters Of Nine and Thiagon led to unprecedented opposition against them among the public, as a result of this The Sisters Of Nine disappeared overnight, the 10th Sister disappeared with them. If the public knew Chris was alive it would cause a huge problem, therefore the only solution was to kill Chris, it would have to be done. Chris didn’t care about anything else but the fact that Claire had tried to kill him, it just wasn’t possible.

Chris had been betrayed by his love and his brothers in arms in a matter of days, outerly he was ready to make the sacrifice but inwardly he was broken now. After a few difficult days, through bonding with the other inmates over Bravista’s unfair fate Chris manages to escape the jail and Bravista, he climbs the Forbidden Mountains from where no foe is expected to see Bravista. Now all the time Chris is thinking of one thing, Where did the Sisters Of Nine go, Where did Claire Go, What’s Her Story?

At the peak of the mountain you see him looking at Bravista and then at the other side of the mountain towards uncharted land. There is a desert as far as the eye can see.

For days he travels through the desert, the only source of food being plants and vegetables at oases he comes accross from time to time. There is still no trace of life. As he is traveling he hears a noise of something traveling fast through the sand, he hears a ravaging growl and is attacked by a pack of wolves. He tries hard to fight them with a stick he has. It does no good as the wolves break the stick easily.

Four gunshots are heard and the wolves all lie dead. A man with a black hat and bandages all over his body comes forward, he his holding a gun. Chris learns that the mans name is Higrid, he is from the Great Eastern Tribe. He made his way with Higrid to the city of this tribe. It was unlike a place he had ever been to. Their homes consisted of what seemed to by pyramidal mini apartments. The home of the leader was a giant pyramid. The leader let Chris know that this was the largest settlement far East before the Gigantic mountains that shielded Bravista. Their society was a peaceful one and they had been made centuries ago to act as the guardians of Bravista, so it was their duty to aid Chris. He told Chris that the Sisters Of Nine had come here too, a mere week back. They were headed Westwards towards the Great Western Tribe. Chris was told that the Great Western Tribe held the pathway to the New World which lied past the Great Western Mountains.

Chris made his way towards the Great Western Tribe on the back of a camel. He had to know what this New World was and why the Sisters were trying to get there, had they truly given up on getting Bravista back? Higrid travelled with Chris. On their way there they talked about their childhoods. Chris explained how his father died when he was young and how he and his mother had to face poverty and public humiliation in Bravista. Higrid had a similar childhood, he was orphaned young as his mother had died at childbirth while his father died while gathering food for the tribe. The leader of the tribe Yugosun had taken it upon himself to take Higrid in and to look after him.

In the distance he could see a town billowing with smoke. The Great Western Tribe was in ruins...the city was destroyed, it was aflame. Hardly any survivors remained. He knew that the way the people had been killed had only one warrior technique that was identifiable; the Sisters Of The Nine’s ways of killing. It was impossible to accept it but the Sisters Of Nine had done this massacre. He didn’t understand why they were doing this. Higrid said they should make their way to the Great Western Mountains to see if the passage to the New World had been opened.

The next day they reached the Great Western Mountains...they were greeted with a booby trap. A massive landslide, Higrid dies in the landslide. Chris was sure the Sisters had planned the booby trap, he swore toe avenge the death of Higrid.

He finally found the secret entrance to the New World and found the10th Sister stood there waiting for him.

“Well done Chris, we have been expecting you”

“You see the entrance to the passage to the New World requires an act of sacrifice”

The 10th sister points to a body lying on the ground near her; Claire’s body.

“Or rather, acts of sacrifice”

With a single waving motion a light hurtles towards Chris.

The screen turns black.

Plot:

Forest (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is in Russia, planting some bugs at a bedroom in an apartment. He gets on his com to ensure that everything is going according to plan. He doesn't get any response, which causes him to go to the front of the apartment. He finds a whole bunch of Russian cops. They point guns at him, he surrenders and he is captured. As he leaves, the body of his partner is found dead. It's clear that he didn't surrender but tried to fight back.

In some classified, top-secret government bunker. Government scientists are looking over some machine. They are about to do a test when all of a sudden the alarm goes off. Cut to a security guard along the hallway. He hears the alarm and he draws his weapon. All of a sudden a whole bunch of men with guns come in. They shoot down the security guard and leave. The security guard lies there dead when Adam (Jeremy Renner) comes into the hallway. He goes to the security guard and he sheds a tear. This is a guard that he knew personally. He gets a picture out of the guard's pocket. The guard is shown with three kids, but with no mom in the picture. Adam crumbles the picture into a pulp and takes out his gun.

When he arrives in the room where the government scientists are, he finds that they are all dead and the machine they were working on missing. He gets on his walkie-talkie to see if anyone else is in the base, but he just gets static. Adam goes to a red telephone and he calls Advisor Samuel (James Spader). He tells Advisor Samuel that the machine has been stolen by a group of armed men. The Advisor tells Adam that he will send a man to pick him up so he could give a briefing. Adam hangs up the phone and checks the video tapes. He recognizes the symbol of the men who attacked the facility: they work for a private security form called Frontline. Realizing that the company must be behind the attack, Adam gets a lot of weapons and leaves the facility.

Samuel goes to the President (Christopher Plummer). The President isn't happy at all that the machine was stolen. He says it's a matter of national security that they retrieve the machine. If they don't, there could be dire consequences. Suddenly, the President's personal cell phone rings. The President checks the caller id and doesn't recognize the number. He answers it and discovers that the person on the other line is Thomas (Timothy Dalton). Thomas reveals that he's the person who stole the machine. The President asks Thomas what he wants. “Do you want money? Power? Attention?” Thomas replies: “Mr. President, all I want is my son. His name is Forest and he was recently captured by the Russians while doing some intelligence work for you. Give me your son, and I will give up the machine.” The President states that he doesn't negotiate with terrorists. Thomas replies: “Mr. President, I don't think you get it. I hold all the cards, you don't. I expect results soon, or I will be forced to use the machine. We both don't want me to do that.” Thomas hangs up the phone. The President then asks Samuel to get all the information on Forest.

Switch over to Thomas. Thomas is in some hidden bunker somewhere. He's revealed to be the CEO of Frontline, which means he has some amount of health. He has an army of scientists surrounding the machine, their ready to use it upon orders. Switch over to Forest. He is in some Russian prison, laying down on a bed. He is sleeping. Switch over to Adam, who is driving somewhere. Switch back over to Samuel.

Samuel is preparing all the info he can get on Forest when he gets a call. He finds out that the men he sent to pick up Adam can't find him. They did find the videos that he saw and they believe that Adam is investigating the attackers. Samuel asks who was behind the attack, and they don't know but they will be sending the video to people who will be able to find out. Samuel thanks them for their help but tells them to find Adam.

Cut to Adam. He is entering a branch office of some investigate journalist named Margaret (Claire Danes). They are revealed to be in a relationship when she tries to kiss him. He's not in the mood, and then he tells her that Frontline has attacked a government base. Margaret's recent assignment has been to cover the Wars, where she stumbled across Frontline. They are an organization that seems to have been doing some less than ethical things in the wars. She was planning on exposing them soon. Margaret is surprised since generally these companies tend not to attack the country that pays them. Adam asks if she's gotten any tips recently. Margaret replies that for some reason the CEO has disappeared off the face of the Earth. The two decide to investigate some more.

Cut to Samuel. He is briefing the President on Forest. Forest had gone to Russia to collect some information. He had been bugging the apartment of a mistress of some diplomatic government official. They were hoping to use the information to gain an upper hand in some negotiations. Forest. and his partner were discovered. While the partner was killed in the capture, Forest is in some facility. The Russians had offered to send them back, but that was a catch-22 since that would have meant the Americans admitting to still having intelligence operations in Russia which would hurt relations. They decided to claim that Forest is not with the United States. Samuel reveals they can't go back on their word. The President decides that they will do nothing for this terrorist.

Cut to Thomas. He is preparing to call the President when he gets a call. It's from the mother of Forest. She's panicking that she still hasn't heard from him. Thomas assures her that Forest is probably okay and that he's doing everything he can to find him. The mother then states “I'm so glad you're helping. It would have been nice if you were doing so much for our son back then as you are doing now, but I guess this will do.” Thomas looks guilty that he has been an absentee father, but he assures her that Forest will be back home. It's obvious that the mother has no idea what he's actually doing. Thomas then calls the President.

The President answers the phone and the President then states “Look, I'd love to get your son back. But before I can do anything for one American, I must do everything for all Americans and frankly getting him back isn't in the best interest of this nation. Your son understands, and you must. Please give the machine back.” Thomas then replies “That's too bad, Mr. President. Don't say I didn't warn you.” Thomas than hangs up and tells the scientists to power the machine. They start to do just that. Meanwhile he takes out a picture of Forest as a little boy and his mother. He's not in the picture. He sheds a tear.

Adam and Margaret go to the Frontline Headquarters, which is in Denver. It is closed, though. Adam uses his skills to pick the lock and they go in. Realizing that using the elevator might tip security someone is in the building, they decide to take the stairs. Cut to Samuel. He gets a call that the company in the video is Frontline. Samuel goes to the President and states that someone hired Frontline for the job, but they don't know who. The President states that maybe Frontline is doing this job on their own. Samuel decides to find out if this is true.

Cut to New York City. The film introduces a whole bunch of minor characters at once, including children and women. Characters that are all living their normal lives and interacting normally. The ground shakes a bit, but most don't notice. The shaking stops. They continue to their lives as if nothing happened. Suddenly the shaking starts again, but this time it's massive. Over the next fifteen minutes the viewers will literally see the city of New York City being destroyed and every character in the city being killed by the earthquake. By the end, the city is literally a rubble. It has been effectively destroyed.

Cut to Samuel. He reveals to the President that the CEO of Frontline is the father of Forest and they have no idea where to find him. All of a sudden an aide comes in and switches the chanel to CNN. The President and Samuel find out that the city has been destroyed by a massive earthquake. The President then states “That's not an earthquake. That was the machine.” Samuel stated “No man should have that much power. Hell, no government.” The President then stated “It was never supposed to be used.” The President then gets a call from Thomas.

Thomas threatens to destroy Chicago next if his son isn't rescued. Realizing that he has no option, the President agrees and they hang up. The President then asks Samuel to assemble a team to rescue Forest so that the machine will not be used again. Samuel agrees. Cut to Adam. Adam and Margaret have made it to the top floor and they hack into Thomas' computer. They manage to discover where his secret bunker is. The two start to leave but building security has found them. They fire at Adam and Margaret. Adam fires back. They try to escape the building in a long action scene, and in the end both of them do. After they have left, Adam discovers that Margaret has gotten shot in the stomach. He calls an ambulance and the ambulance takes her to the hospital. While talking to the paramedics, he had also discovered that New York City had been destroyed.

Cut to Samuel. Samuel has arranged a special forces team, headed by Mark (Channing Tatum). They are already near Russia, as they were stationed in Georgia. Samuel is communicating with them via satellite TV. He gives them their orders and Mark is told to ensure that the Russians couldn't tie the rescue operation back to them. Mark understands the orders. They prepare to leave. Cut to Adam, who is driving.

Cut to the near future. Mark has arrived at the prison and Adam has arrived at the outside of the secret bunker. The film then shows two subsequent attacks. Adam, by himself, goes into the secret bunker and manages to kill a lot of Frontline soldiers thanks to the element of surprise. Mark and his team manage to break into the Russian prison thanks to more effective technology and training. The two sequences last about 15 minutes and are both full of action. At the end, Mark manages to rescue Forest and his team all leave. Forest also got some cool action scenes as he helped Mark rescue him. They took no casualties and left no evidence behind. Adam manages to make it into Thomas' room.

Thomas and Adam start to have a firefight but in the end, Adam shoots Thomas in the head. Thomas ends up dead and Adam calls Samuel, telling them where he is and what he has done. Samuel agrees to send the team to the hospital Margaret is at. Cut to Mark and Forest. Mark puts Forest on a plane straight to America and then Mark's team and Mark head back to Georgia.

Cut to Adam. Adam has just finished his briefing and is at Margaret's hospital room. She's going to be fine and while in the room, he proposes to her. She accepts. Cut to Forest. Forest learns that New York City is going to be destroyed and everything his now dead father did to rescue him. This surprises Forest since he didn't think his father loved him. Cut to Forest's home. There he meets his mother and she is happy. Cut to the President. The President learns from Samuel that the machine is back in the government's hand. Samuel wonders if that's the best thing but then the President states that it is. They both state it's a bit sad that Americans don't know the truth, because if they did then they wouldn't insist on such a strong military. Samuel then states it's good they never find out, because this would end the country.

The movie then cuts to a CNN news report. The report states that it used to be said that we live in a Post 9/11 world. Now though, we're going to state that we live in a post-New York City world. The report then shows the ruins of New York City and the official death tally is in the millions. The movie's credits begin.

Plot:

Pitch black. A dark, mysterious intro begins. We can see nothing, but darkness. One picture of a cross appears for a second, but apart from that, everything is black. We’re inside a huge cinema auditorium. Mysterious electonic music fades in. The lights are off, only a little light emerges. We can vaguely see where the light is coming from, a dim shape is holding a candle. We’re getting closer.

We can see the back of a WOMAN, sitting on the floor, wearing long coat and having her hair down. She blows the flames out and soon disappears into the vast dark. We’re slowly turning around and catch her red eye in the distance.

A poem appears on the screen in black.

VAMPIRE POEM – NIGHT RULER

by SKY TAYLOR

When the dusk shall meet with early dawn,

And the moon passes over with a gentle yawn,

I'll be waiting on the other side,

On a blade of moonlight, there I'll glide.

So slumber while you can in peace,

For tonight, shadows of sleep shall cease,

When I beckon your presence to my lair,

I am night, and you - my vampire....

We see the empty streets at night, red traffic lights, everything is quiet and calm.

An OLD LADY is walking down the empty road. The music stops, you don’t need more terrifying sound at night than SILENCE.

The old lady marches on. The moonless night is as silence as a lamb. She suddenly plows into a looming figure silhoutted in the dark of night by only the echo of the lamppost in the distance.

OLD LADY (apologizes politely)

Sorry. Wasn’t watching where I was going. These dark nights can be tricky.

STRANGER (unfriendly, harsh voice)

They can spell death for a decrepted old woman.

We take a look at the STRANGER. We cannot see his face as he’s wearing a long black coat with a hood.

OLD LADY

Oh, that’s an insult. If you’re insinuating that I’m a decrepted old woman, think again.

STRANGER (with a deep laughter)

Black belt, are you?

OLD LADY

Out of my way.

She pushes her tormentor aside with a strength that’s rather surprising for one so old.

Not five steps forward and she runs into the stranger again.

STRANGER (frightening tone)

Obviously an act of of senility, or should I say a victim of senility?

The old lady is lack of fear. She talks back with great confidence.

OLD LADY

That’s right, blame it on something no one understands. You know, I usually

invite people into my life when I want them there. And you - you are not invited!

At that he backs away, clearing the path for the lady.

Another five steps and the stranger appears again.

OLD LADY

Are you Satan?

The stranger laughs loudly.

STRANGER

You would be lucky then! You’re so old, I’m not sure you’re worth my trouble. Probably have some very tired blood flowing in those blown-out veins of yours, old woman.

OLD LADY (still keeps her calm)

So I am an old woman? You’ve yet to identify yourself.

STRANGER

I am what one would call… a child of the night. A young bat, old woman. You’re either very dense, or very brave. I almost feel pity for you. You’re at the crossroads of life and death. Let me give you DEATH.

The stranger is about to make his move, but the old lady is quicker! She hits the stranger with her umbrella and forces him to the ground.

OLD LADY

This is what happens when one deals with an old bat.

The stranger laughs again.

STRANGER

You haven’t beaten me yet. You really thought that I would have a fistfight with you? No, no, no. You should have a more delicate death. Some might call it as the touch of an angel. Let me introduce my faithful and devoted partner…

Another vampire appears behind the lady.

STRANGER

…and let’s have a black celebration.

And that female vampire bites the neck of the old lady. She's TANGERINE (Blunt), our leading character.

The screen goes pitch black.

OPENING CREDITS begin

THE MAN (Renner) is walking down the high street of Seattle with his girlfriend. They walk into a cinema. We introduce two of our main characters. A long-haired guy with a long, black coat comes out of a screen. He’s AGENOR (Hammer). He walks up to one of the workers and gives him a hug. He’s THOMAS (Garfield), skinny, brown-haired guy. They have a casual chat, they're good friends.

AGENOR

Tonight is a special night, my friend.

THOMAS

Enlighten me.

AGENOR

66 days since she’s gone...

Thomas’ expression changes dramatically. All of a sudden he looks sad and disturbed. However he has no time to reply as guests are approaching him. Agenor steps aside. The couple got their ticket as well, The Man makes an odd remark as he passes Agenor.

THE MAN

Something smells funny here.

Agenor remains silent. Now the man turns to Thomas when he’s tearing his ticket.

THE MAN

Do you serve beer here?

Agenor answers instead of Thomas.

AGENOR

No, but after watching that crap you wish you had a few pints.

THE MAN (giving his popcorn to his girl)

Hold on to this for a second, babe.

The Man is ready for a fight, but by the time he turns around Agenor is by exit door.

AGENOR (waves to his friend)

I’ll see you tonight, Thomas.

THE MAN

Run coyote, run.

GIRL

What a jerk.

They walk into the screen to watch the film. On the way out THE MAN gives a dirty look at Thomas. When he's finishing his shift and is about to lock up the building a dark shadow appears behind him and he gets hit on his head. He opens his eyes a few hours later. Sits up. He has one helluve headache. Looks up at his attackers. He can’t believe to his eyes. Agenor and Tangerine are standing in front of him. Thomas is shocked and speechless.

THOMAS

Tanger...

TANGERINE

It’s time for you to know.

Thomas still feels a little dizzy as he’s trying to stand up.

THOMAS

It’s you...you ok?... I thought you were dead.

TANGERINE

I’m alive and well, darling. In fact my life has never been in danger. I set up everything. I wanted to to tell you the truth for a long time. I was hoping that you’ll figure it for yourself. Late nights out, never home in the morning, night shifts? You really didn’t have any clue?

Thomas is still speechless.

THOMAS

What...what are you talking about?

TANGERINE

I’m here to give you an opportunity.

Thomas glances at Agenor.

THOMAS

Agenor? What the hell is going on?

TANGERINE

Tom, my darling, I am a vampire.

THOMAS

A vampire?

TANGERINE

In fact, we all are. Your best friend and your lover. This is about you. You becoming one of us.

THOMAS (raises his voice)

I was mourning you for weeks! I was thinking about you every single day! And now you’re telling me that the whole kidnapping was a joke and my whole time with you was fake? What kind of sick game is this?

TANGERINE

It was never fake between us. Because you love me. And I’m here to to give you the chance to be with me forever.

THOMAS

Stop! That’s enough! This bullshit crap ends here.

TANGERINE

Tom, you’re shying from the light, you I always loved the night. And now I offer you eternal darkness.

THOMAS

No!

AGENOR

It’s alright Tom. I know it sounds like I betrayed you. She’s speaking the truth. She’s a vampire. If you really love her, do what she says.

THOMAS

Agenor, did you really…

Agenor offers her hand to Tangerine, who takes a bite. As the blood is dripping down, Thomas’ stomach makes a funny noise.

AGENOR

Fancy a dip?

TANGERINE

I had to make the decision for you...

Thomas starts tapping his neck. A second later, he notices a bite on his neck. Screams loudly.

AGENOR

I’m glad you made it. I had doubt about you, she didn’t. She was right, you proved me wrong.

Agenor starts to explain everything.

AGENOR

It’s all my fault, but I believe that one day you’d be grateful to me. I can’t help it, I’m in love with her. We got together long before you met her. We had a lovely time. Everything was so perfect, that it seemed to be too good. So I wasn’t suprised when one day she came to me and said that she needs to be with humans, she needs to have a relationship with someone outside of our word. I completely understood her need and recommended you to her. I didn’t want her to get an idiot I don’t know, I wanted someone nice and kind to her, someone I can trust. So we choose you. It worked so well for a while. She was happy, you were happy and I wasn’t jealous as we had the nights. But nothing last forever. You totally fell in love it her and I thought it’s better for both you and me if we end things before it gets very bizarre. I wanted to keep our friendship, but it wasn’t possible. She didn’t want you to go. She wanted to give you a chance, to be fair and square.

THOMAS

What chance? To become an animal?

AGENOR

You’ll be suprised how soon you begin to enjoy it.

THOMAS

I can’t believe that you… you are behind this. You were my best friend. Why? Why did it have to be me?

He turns to Tangerine, who still standing upstairs.

THOMAS

And you… the night we met, the things you said in the cemetery, was that a fucking lie, too?

TANGERINE

It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. It’s more important what’s going to happen now.

THOMAS

It matters to me.

TANGERINE (broken voice)

What do you want from me? Don’t you see that I sacrificed everything for you?

THOMAS (shouting)

I want to hear the truth.

FLASHBACKS

We going back in time. We have some character building moments when Thomas and Agenor were good buddies. Then we show how Agenor and Tangerine met.

Empty street. She is walking on the pavement. She’s in a hurry as she’s walking very fast. She’s holding a book in her hand. She’s narrates. She suddenly turns around and takes a good look at her surroundings. Then crosses the road and speeds up her pace. Starts to run.

TANGERINE (narration)

Anxiety flooded my body. What if I’m not alone? It wasn’t fear, rather instict, which made me turn around. I just realized at that moment, how far away I’ve travelled from home. I’ll be late. Again. I hate being late. I can hear complaining words of my friends. No, it can’t happen this time… only because of this stupid book. I’d better run. I stopped at a parking car and I used its window as a mirror. I had to put my scruffy hair right. I’m a lady after all. My black hair… beautiful. I wanted to continue my way, but I didn’t know where to go. I was lost. Then I heard those bloody steps. I tried to turn towards the noise, and looked into the darkness. Soon it was everywhere. It was obvious that I was not alone. My whole body shivered. I started to breath heavily, my heart raced. Strangely I didn’t feel any fear, I was excited. Something told me that my life’s not in danger. Then a cold hand grabbed my shoulder. I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t, I don’t know why. The owner of the cold hands was standing right in front of me.

It’s Agenor.

TANGERINE (narration)

He was a tall, good looking man. Had a good shape. He wasn’t a muscle museum, nor was he a skeleton crow. His skin was as pale as the spring moon, even whiter than mine. His eyes sparkled lively, but I found some sadness in his serious look. I wasn’t intimidated by those cruel eyes at all. He threw a smile at me. His whole outfit was a bit...majestic.

AGENOR

Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. My name is Agenor. Who are you and what are you doing on the streets at this late hour? The night could be dangerous for someone like you...

TANGERINE (narration)

I was surprised and shocked for a second as his strong, characteristic voice broke the silence.

TANGERINE (quick, rude answer)

My name is Tangerine, and what I’m doing here is none of your business. I can take care of myself.

TANGERINE (narration)

Usually I’m quite polite with people. I’m attentive and I’m never rude. I always listen carefully to people, try to examine them, I find human kindness very important. I don’t know why I acted out of my skin this time.

TANGERINE (kinder manner)

Sorry, I have to apologize for my rough answer. It’s just...I’m terribly late and my friends have been waiting for me for quite a while. We’re having some kind of gathering tonight at the Purple Turtle and I’m in a hurry. So if you don’t mind I gotta go...

TANGERINE (narration)

I took a step back and tried to hide my book. I managed to escape from his attractive, mysterious look. I turned my head down for a second, then I took a good look at him. He didn’t seem to be older than 25, still some kind of wisdom was written all over him. He gently adjusted his long, black coat, then his hair before he started speaking with a nice, stroking tone.

AGENOR

A fragile girl on the street late at night. Although you don’t seem to be a frightened one, well how could you be after reading such a book...

Looks down to check out the title and reads it aloud.

AGENOR

The Vampire Rendezvous...well intriguing title, I’ll give you that. I’m intrested in the subject myself. I’ve happened to have some sort of experience if you know what I mean. Close one, so to speak.

TANGERINE

What do you mean by that?

AGENOR (smiles)

Things are not what they seem to be. I suggest you be more cautious. The creatures of the night do not only exist in the fairy tales. Ghosts, demons, werewolfs and vampires...they are not the creations of the human mind. They’re among us. You should believe in that.

He points at the book.

AGENOR

You shouldn’t go out to strange places, especially not to the Purple Turtle. That place is quite infamous for being a shithole.

TANGERINE (narration)

I had a hunch that he speaks of great experience. I tried to keep my composure, but I was on the verge of cracking out. Vampires. Hmmm. He hasn’t got a clue about vampires. White skin, dead body, lively look, sharp teeth and the killing instinct, when the body takes over the power of the mind to look out for a prey to carry on this hunting life forever and ever. It’s funny that I’m in an alley in the middle of nowhere and a guy like him warns me about vampires. I was about to smile, when he grabbed my arms. He held me strongly and I knew he meant everything he said. It’s not a game anymore, not an innocent chat with a friendly stranger. I started to shiver and almost dropped my book.

AGENOR (raises his voice)

You can’t invite your friends to such a rotten place. You should be responsible for them. Who do you think you are? You have no right to put them into danger! London’s most unique scumbag collection goes there every night for a fight.

TANGERINE

I’m old enough to know what’s right for me, I don’t need any advice. I go wherever I want to, whenever I want to and with whoever I want to be with.

AGENOR

Fair enough, but you ought to know the consequences.

TANGERINE

I do. You should really let me go now, my friends are waiting for me.

AGENOR

Did you drag your friends into this whole thing? This Friday night is particularly dangerous.

TANGERINE

It might be, but at least it’s ours. By the way, they chose to come along with me. I’m always telling the truth to everyone.

AGENOR

Is that right? So you see yourself as an honest person?

Tangerine’s expression changes dramatically. She looks deep into Agenor’s eyes.

TANGERINE (narration)

As he said those words, it occured to me that he knew everything. And he wasn’t scared. He should have been. Such a fool. He knew what’s coming. His face became distorted, he took a deep breath…

TANGERINE

I am… someone… with a strong character. I was honest all my life, told the truth every time I was asked. I was trustworthy. I respected the law. And where they all got me? You have no right to judge me. Who knows what’s right and wrong? I see everything from one angle. Only my point of view exist.

A nice piano piece starts to fade in.

TANGERINE

Can you hear it? Such a sad song. A song of cease and eternity. For us everything is timeless. In fact, our human being, our honesty and our own personality is the only thing, which we have in this world and we throw it away for a neverending nothing. Money, wisdom, power means nothing if you have to give up your principles.

A moment later she attacks Agenor.

TANGERINE (narration)

I pulled him close to me with great power. I felt his blood rumbling in his veins. I showed off my killing teeth. A strange feeling got into me. I wanted to live, and this very moment this man was the only link to humanity. He must have realised that I’m not human. He said it after all, that things are not what they seem to be. I couldn’t stop the inner need. He started to tremble with fear. He was shaking. I slowly bended down to his arm and deeped my teeth into his sweet flesh. Didn’t try to stop me, was half unconscious and sweated heavily. I toughened my bite. The smell of his salty skin and the outcoming fear had almost launched a mini orgasm inside me. Our heartbeat became one. Fear totally took control over him. His muscles became stiff and couldn’t move anymore. He was mine. Before he stopped breathing I pushed him away from me. He landed on the floor. I took a deep, long sigh, felt the fresh blood coming to my veins. I looked down at the struggling body. I didn’t pity him. I had a feeling that he wanted to know the secret. All sufferings are part of life. But you get true peace after death.

She bends down to the body.

TANGERINE (narration)

I should have walked away. Or given quick death to him. We cannot have emotions towards our victims, that’s a fundimental rule. I don’t think I had any that night, but something told me not to leave him suffering on the floor. So I decided to take him with me. Soon, the stranger was dead. But Agenor, the vampire was born.

After this we show how Tangerine and Thomas met. How Agenor chose him and how she seduced Thomas. Also some scenes shows their relationship, Tangerine lying to him all the time claiming that she works in the hospital doing nightshifts. Later confrontation begins between Agenor and Tangerine, he clearly doesn't like the fact that she spends a lot of time with Thomas. They agree that they shoul;d come up with a solution. They fake a kidnapping of her, she Thomas is under the illusion that she's dead. But Tangerine realizes that she still has feelings towards him, so advises Agenor to come up with a better idea.

Back to the present.

THOMAS

So what now? We’re having a duel for her?

AGENOR

That’s the fair way to do it. I can’t let you have her.

A strong voice interrupts the conversation. It’s The Man.

THE MAN

Oh, my heart is broken.

He just entered the cinema silently. Starts clapping.

THE MAN

I had a hunch yesterday that something funny is going on here and you didn’t disappoint. Vampires and this heartbreaking, tear-dropping love story.

AGENOR

You have a minute left of your life.

Last wish before I break you in half?

THE MAN (puts a cigarrette into his mouth)

Sorry to interrupt this intriguing love triangle, but I tend to love films, and I like this place. Isn’t it a beautiful building? It would be such a shame if it became the host of rotten creatures like you.

AGENOR

Alright, then.

They’re forming a triangle and an electronic, gothic version of spaghetti western theme fades in.

THE MAN

Two against one?

THOMAS (gives a dirty look at Agenor)

No. One against the other two.

THE MAN

What about her?

AGENOR

We’ll decide it between the two of us later on.

THE MAN

Don’t talk too fast.

They all take their position and the music gets louder and louder.

Agenor appears behind The Man, who hits him, but with that move he the drops the gun he just pulled out. Agenor goes down, then Thomas attacks The Man splashes some kind of water on Thomas. Thomas pretends to be dead, but he’s an awful actor.

TANGERINE

Wake up, Tom, that was horrible acting.

Agenor chuckles.

AGENOR

What was that, holy water?

TANGERINE

You really thought that it would work?

THE MAN

You’re all Satanist, aren’t you?

TANGERINE

We are. You don’t know anything about us, do you?

THE MAN (with sarcasm)

I’m begging for a lesson, sister.

TANGERINE (narration)

The cynical type. I love that. Sarcasm is the weapon of the losers, try to brings us, the winners down to their level. I’ll break him as well, without a doubt. He can’t take his eyes off me as I pull off my sexy walk.

TANGERINE (slowly walking down the stairs)

It’s my pleasure to teach a lesson to the ignorant people.

TANGERINE (narration)

And I mean it. I do like to open the eyes of the blind when it comes to religion and Satanism.

TANGERINE

The first thing, which occurs to you is that it’s some gothic thing, which praises the Evil. That’s the ridiculous lie you’ve been told. The more you educate yourself, the more you understand where things came from, the more obvious things they come, then you’ll begin to see lies everywhere. You are Evil. You are God.

THE MAN

Really? You’re telling me something I already know.

TANGERINE

A Satanist simply accepts the definition which suits him best. Man has always created his gods, rather than his gods creating him. To us "God" is seen as the balancing force in nature, and not as being concerned with suffering.

THE MAN

What does it mean in English?

TANGERINE (narration)

He’s holding up strongly, but he’ll be on my side me soon. Everyone with a right mind share our beliefs once the curtain of lies is rolls up and truth is revealed.

TANGERINE

We all know that "God" is a human concept, a means of explaining that which men have been unable to explain either through ignorance or through philosophical inability to grasp the nature of reality. We believe in the "I am my own god" concept, most people feel the same; just they don’t want to admit and accept it. Our religion won’t punish you if you make mistakes or do something wrong. We understand human nature. For instance envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished, am I right?

No answer.

TANGERINE (narration)

No answer. That’s a good sign. Not enough yet, though, the lies and the prejudices are established deeply in the brainswashed human minds.

TANGERINE

We believe in love and hate. Satanism is an uncompromisingly selfish religion, but we define selfishness according to what an individual truly wants. Therefore, if a person should honestly care for another person and wishes to express love, then he should do so wholeheartedly; a truly selfish person can acknowledge that if a person is loved by him, then they are important by virtue of his love.

Hatred is likewise a natural emotion in man and therefore not to be shunned.

THE MAN

You’re a good talker, I’ll give you that.

TANGERINE

We encourage any form of sexual expression you may desire, as long as it hurts no one else, what other religion will give you that freedom? Why should we act against our will? We believe in ultimatefreedom.

THE MAN

That’s all good, but what about that theory that you destroy the week soulds, that sounds familiar to me from somewehere else. Little Adolf, rings the bell?

TANGERINE

Wrong again. We despise those who sue the physical flaw to gain sympathy. The people who use the victim card, people who induce guilt in others are fundamentally weak, and therefore to be shunned by us.

THE MAN

Hmmm.

TANGERINE (narration)

I’m getting there.

TANGERINE

The most important thing we believe is that you should always tend towards indulgence, not abstinence. Whereas other religions seek to dictate what you should abstain from. We seek to encourage you to indulge all your carnal desires. Also as an atheistic religion, we think that there is no afterlife and therefore no paradise or

heaven or hell, all happiness and satisfaction must be attained here on Earth. We advise you indulge to the greatest extent possible, that your days on Earth may be best spent. I could go on and on, the more you hear about us the more you understand that what you’ve been told’s an utter lie. We condemn the practice of killing or harming an animal for ritual or magical purposes, in direct opposition to the common belief that Satanists advocate this practice. Harming an innocent animal is a gross injustice and magically useless. But that’s one of the many misinterpretations.

THE MAN

It’s seems quite down to Earth, but then there you have these celebrations, rituals and magic.

TANGERINE

We only celebrate Halloween, but the most important holiday in Satanism is one's own birthday, as the birth date of one's own god. As of our rituals, most of them are quite entertaining, they always fill you up with energy and give you satisfaction, both spiritually and physically as they usually produce orgasm.

THE MAN

But do you really believe in magic?

TANGERINE (narration)

The question I’ve been waiting for. Now I got him.

TANGERINE

We do. But not in a way, you think. The ritualized desires must be realistic; wishing for the impossible or the absurdly far-fetched will not yield results, as the magician cannot reasonably hope to put forth enough magical energy to accomplish what cannot be accomplished by any means. Magic is like nature itself, and success in magic requires working in harmony with nature, not against it.

TANGERINE (narration)

Now I’m gonna look deeply into his eyes and cast a spell on him.

TANGERINE

If you have the five essential elements right, magic could be working. You need to have great desire, good timing, specialized imaginery, a very clear target in mind meaning a specific direction and indispansable balance. But I can tell you more if you wish…

THE MAN

Well, let’s have an equal fight. Make me a vampire...

TANGERINE (narration)

This situation made me a bit confused, I am really torn between Thomas and Agenor, but the last thing I want is to watch them killed by a man. If I make him a vampire, there’s no way that he overpowers them.

Tangerine steps towards The Man. Gently takes his gun out of his hand.

TANGERINE (smiles)

As you wish.

THOMAS (worrying face)

Tangerine!

AGENOR

He’ll be no match for us, Tom. You shouldn’t be more afraid of a newbie, more of me!

Tangerine wants to bite The Man, but she can't. Intense scene. She looks deeply to his eyes and strangely walks away. The three men take up a classic western position to fight it out.

Wasted Sunset by Deep Purple begins. Amazing guitar solo followed by brilliant lyrics. And very nice shots. We see Tangerine waiting outside the cinema rooftop, glazing to the streets and the houses. Meanwhile the winner of the clash walks up the stairs. We can only see two pairs of shoes stepping up, we don’t know who’s the owner. A little tension there. Tangerine face sums up the situation, she’s quite nervous and confused.

someone is waiting behind an unlocked door

grey circle's overhead, empty's on the floor

the cracks in the walls have grown too long

the slow hand is dragging on, afraid to meet the dawn

The person reaches the rooftop, slowly puts his hand on the door handle, Tangerine is close to tears.

one too many wasted sunsets

one too many for the road

and after dark, the door is always open

hopin' someone else will show

The vampire steps towards her. Then garbs her shoulder. She turns back, and we see the victor, it is...

THE MAN!!!!!

Tangerine starts crying and the beautiful song fades out.

THE MAN

I thought vampires never cry.

TANGERINE

They're not for you.

THE MAN

Well, you have two dead bodies to weep for.

Tangerine looks at The Man, wipes her tears off her face and smiles.

TANGERINE

Doubt it. I'm sure they're both alive.

THE MAN

Really?

TANGERINE

You're strong, but you're not a killer.

THE MAN

How can you be so sure?

TANGERINE

You can't kill. You were born to be a vampire, you just hasn't realized till today. We have a lot to talk about. You're special. I have waiting for a moment like this for a long time.

THE MAN

Am I what?

TANGERINE

You're a REAL vampire.
