EXT. OUTSIDE THE CITY of tolis LIMITS-Mid day

After some time, Inas finally reaches the city of Tolis where Aisha told him to meet her at.

Inas

Jeez, that was a long walk, but I better hurry up and go find Aisha. She said she'd been at the town hall, I hope that isn’t fair.

AS Inas WALKs THROUGH THE TOWN HE DIDN’T SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE out and about.

Inas

Huh, I wonder where everyone is? It’s a beautiful day to be outside.

As Inas continues walking he passes by a fruit stand.

Inas

Hey, how are you? Can I get one of your finest apples, they look so good And I just have to have one.

FRUIT STAND LADY

Yes sir They’re freshly picked this morning.

She dropped her head.

Inas

Are you alright, is something wrong?

FRUIT STAND lady

No it's nothing.

Inas

That's not what your tone is telling me.

Maria

Well for the last few months thugs have been terrorizing this town and the surrounding areas. It is just something that has been bothering me.

Inas

Well isn't someone helping, what about the police or the hero society?

FRUIT STAND LADY

Well The United Nations have sent support to help us but that proposal just got passed and help won't be here any time soon, and because it was passed by the U.N., The hero society has to get approved by them before they can do anything.

Inas

Well if there's anything I can do to help I’m all ears.

Inas chuckle playfully

FRUIT STAND LADY

Well, that’s nice of you but I don’t think you want to get involved. The last person who tried to help got beat pretty bad and is in urgent care, that’s why the U.N is stepping in. He was a hero from around this area and they beat and tortured him sending a message to anyone that would try to stop them.

Inas

I’m sorry to hear that.

He leans his head down in remorse

Inas

I’ll do something about this, I promise.

FRUIT STAND LADY

Please don’t go making promises Like that.

Inas

Don’t worry sweetheart I’m good for them.

Inas flicks a gold Coin in the air

Inas

Here catch.

She held out her hand for the coin to land perfectly in her palm.

Inas

What’s your name?

FRUIT STAND LADY

Maria , and yours?

Inas

He takes a bite while turning around to walk towards the town hall.

Maria smiles looking at the coin as it sparkles in the midday sun .

Maria

Who pays for anything with gold.

Maria holds it up to the sun and it flashes colors, showing Inas's phone number.

She sighs with disbelief.

EXT. INNER CITY- SAME

As Inas got closer to the town hall building distance screaming and yelling could be heard.

Inas

What’s that sound, it sounds like someone is about to start fighting.

Inas rushes over to the scene To see Aisha and Alina arguing with guards.

Alina

Umm, what do you think you’re doing? You know we schedule a meeting with the Mayor.

GUARD

Shut up you insufferable pyrist. Be great full that you’re even allowed to stay on this planet. I don't know why the U.N. would allow should a dangerous, smelly creature like you to be able live freely on our planet.

Angry with the guard and offended by what he said. Alina's hair burst into flames.

Alina

What did you call me?

Before the Guard could answer her Alina shoots him with a fire blast knocking him into the wall.

Aisha

Jeez Alina calm down, that guy was being a dick but we don’t want to cause trouble with the authorities.

Listening to what Aisha said she takes a moment to calming herself down

Alina

Your right, but still he got what he deserves.

Aisha

yeah most definitely.

Alina

But did that guy mention when the mayor was gonna come down here?

aisha

I'm not sure, but I think it’ll be a bad look if they came and the first thing they see is this unconscious guard.

Alina

Ok ok well why don’t we just hide him somewhere? No one is around so we can just sneak him into the bathroom and make it look like he falls asleep on the toilet.

Aisha

Good idea

They both laugh at the idea.

Alina

Come help me move him.

Aisha

Alright.

As they pick the guard up Alina grabbed his feet and Aisha grabs his torsos.

Aisha

Wow, this guy is heavy.

Alina

Yeah I know right.

Aisha

You got the lighter side.

Alina

I know but aren’t you supposed to be the muscle?

Aisha grunts

Aisha

Yea, but let's just get this over with before the Mayor or Inas gets here.

Suddenly a man places his hand on Aisha's shoulder.

Inas

I’m already here.

Alina and Aisha Screaming

Alina

Boy, where the hell did you come from?

Aisha

I know right, you were about to get a two-piece and a Biscuit combo with a sweet tea with fries on the side.

Alina

Finna lay his ass out.

Alina&Aisha

Finna knocks him out.

Aisha

Well since you are here get this it’s heavy.

Alina

Yeah, you don’t need my help either.

Alina and Aisha drop the guard back on the ground.

Inas

Wait why do I have to get him?

Alina

Duh because you're a boy, and you might as well do something useful.

Inas

Fine

Aisha

Put him in the bathroom and make it look like he fell asleep. We'll cover you so that no one sees you.

INT. TOWN HALL- SAME

After some time Inas comes back from placing the guard in the bathroom.

Inas

Mmm, where did those go? I better go find them.

Inas starts searching for Alina and Aisha he walks by a door and hears Maria's voice.

Inas

Is that Maria, and how did she get here before me? I guess I guess she slipped past me when I went into the bathroom.

in THE town hall conference room A

1ST OFFICIAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS

Oh, Miss Maria as we said before we called you in to ask you about your brother and his recent whereabouts.

Maria

I’m sorry sir.

1ST OFFICIAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS

It’s Roger.

Maria

Sorry, Mr. Roger.

ROGER

No, it’s just Roger thank you but I, prefer not to use formality there's no need.

Maria

Ok but I’m sorry I haven’t seen my brother Eesa or heard from him for months. His boss called me because he took some time off from work. he also said he hasn't come back yet and hasn't been able to get in contact with him.

ROGER

Right and that's why they filed a missing person case along with yourself.

Maria

Right.

ROGER

Well, we’ll look into it and give you a call back when finding something.

Maria

Thank you, I just hope he’s ok.

ROGER

I’m sure he is sometimes people just run away to get away from life for a bit, but if you have any other concerns please give me a call.

Roger hands Maria his business card with his contact information.

ROGER

Well alright, ma’am you just enjoy the rest of your day.

Maria

And the same to you.

As Maria walks towards the door Inas thinks to himself.

Inas

Shit, I better go before she Thinks I was being noisy.

Inas rushes past the door as Maria is opening the door hitting him with it.

Maria

Oh my god, I’m so sorry are you ok?

Inas

Oh, I'm fine.

Maria

Inas, what a surprise to see you here. You didn’t follow me, did you?

Maria laughs playful with Inas.

Inas

Oh no.

He laughs back

Inas

I’m meeting some friends here for some business. To be honest they’re a bunch of bullies.

Maria

They sound like they're just having fun with you, but I have to get back to my stand. It was a pleasure to see you again stop by the stand when you're free.

Inas

Most definitely, but what did you think of the coin?

Maria

umm, I don't know, but you still owe me for the apple, but I'll just put it on your tab.

Inas

Thanks, I'll be sure to see what else I put on my tab.

As Maria walks away Inas waves to her smirking.

Aisha

Ohhh is that your new girlfriend? I’m impressed, but I didn’t know you knew how to talk to the girls.

Alina walked up laughing.

Alina

Oh, it’s so cute, but we should get to business isn’t the mayor here yet.

Aisha

I don’t know he was supposed to be here five minutes ago. He must be running late.

Alina

Well, at least can we wait in the room for him, so that he can find us when he gets here. I don’t want this to drag out any longer than it needs to be.

Aisha

Yeah, let’s go. Hopefully, he and Ranell get here around the same time so he doesn’t miss anything.

Inas

But we can just fill him in if he’s late.

INT. TOWN HALL- CONFERENCE ROOM 1

20 to 30 minutes pass while they waited for the Mayor.

Alina

Now I know the Mayor should have been here by now. His office is just two floors ups.

Aisha

Yeah, it shouldn’t be taking this long. Inas can you go back to the entrance of the town and see if you can see Ranell coming, Alina, I’m going to see what the Mayor is doing and try to speed this up.

Alina

Yeah sounds good I’ll stay here and wait for y ’all to get back.

She pulls out her cellphone and Kicks her feet up upon the table leaning back in her chair. Aisha and Inas leave the conference room and agree to meet back in the room in an hour and if they can’t find either Ranell or the Mayor they would leave without him but send him word so he can catch up.

INT. TOWN HALL- HALLWAY-30 MINUTES LATER

Aisha combs the building looking for the Mayor.

Aisha

OH, where is he, it’s already been thirty minutes, and I rather today not be a complete waste of time.

She continues to walk and the low whisper of two-man not too far from her wonder into her ears.

Johnathan

So when will they be here?

Mayor

Calm down, I just got off the phone with the Prime Minister of the U.N. He already sent troops. Right now we need to evaluate the rest of the citizens and prepare for what’s coming.

Johnathan

How much damage are we expecting?

Mayor

Possible the town and the surrounding areas, but the U.N also approved a relief plan for the town and citizens to rebuild and move on.

Johnathan

Yeah with all the money we can build a bigger city a better city, and even better will have money left for some personal use.

Mayor

but that dam Pyrist and her friends are here. They could become a problem for our plans.

Johnathan

What are they even doing here anyway?

Mayor

They have their own business and want permission to set up a headquarter in town or somewhere near the town border.

Johnathan

I see but Mr. Mayor I don’t believe they really could be a threat to us. I seriously don’t believe They could stop us now. Our contractor should be here soon and they'll take care of them.

He laughs Manically

Johnathan

Sir at this point we already tricked the U.N and that Dam Aisha can’t do anything. The mercenaries are here and are waiting, Layla has already started handling one of them.

He laughs really loud whipping tears from his eyes.

MAYOR

Quite foul. Aisha and her friends are already here. I show go you head back to my office and get ready for the strike.

Mayor

MAYOR

Johnathan and the Mayor continue to talk about they plan for the town and how the reconstruction. Aisha still standing just around the corner from them stilling listening shocked.

Ring... ring someone's phone starts ringing.

Aisha holds out her hand palm facing the floor.

Drip, drip

The water dripping from her hand shoot out forming a clone of Aisha made from control of water nature.

CLONE 1

She face palms herself.

Aisha

Alina

Aisha

Well, the mayor is planning on destroying the town and stealing the relief money for the citizens.

Aisha

He was talking to this other guy, Johnathan about how they just got funds from the U.N.

Alina

So it sounds like they are just planning to update the city. It could use one.

Aisha

No.

Alina

No… what do you mean no?

Aisha

It sounded very bad.

Alina

Relax Aisha I think you are just a bit worried.

Aisha

No, I heard them plotting something and it has to deal with us. That’s why the Mayor was taking so long to get to us. He was waiting for an opportunity.

Alina

Ok, we’ll ask him when he gets here. Just play it cool and we can figure out what he's up to.

MAYOR

Ask me what?

The Mayor walked into the room behind Aisha.

Aisha

Mister Mayor.

MAYOR

What an honor to have two strong women. Alina, living plasma and the head of the Hero Society. A program built on the principles of helping others.

Alina

That’s enough Dick riding Sir.

Alina walks over to Aisha

MAYOR

Excuse me?

Alina

You heard me.

Aisha

What are you doing Alina?

Alina

Just follow my lead.

Aisha nods

Aisha

Mister Mayor.

MAYOR

Yes, my dear.

Aisha

What on earth took you so long? I mean Alina and I were waiting forever on you to arrive.

She jokingly laughs.

MAYOR

Oh.

He chuckles

I’m sorry dear the situation with these thugs is Getting out of control, I’m sorry I've kept you all waiting.

Alina

Yeah ok, but anyway we came here for business so let's get to it.

As Alina, Aisha and the Mayor talk about their mission to find SAMAAAJ, Inas runs into an unexpected person at the town welcome sign.

EXT. OUTER CITY LIMITS-SAME

Inas stands to watch the town looking for Ranell to arrive.

Inas

What's talking Ranell so long? I mean with that crazy sword of his, he could use it and be here in an instant.

Patiently waiting he decides to roll a sweet apple cigarillo.

(flick, flick)

Inas

Come on you stupid lighter.

layla

Here use mine.

Inas

Where did you come from?

layla

I was headed here for some business, you Mind if I hit your cigarillo?

Inas

Sure.

Flick flick. Inas lights his hand-rolled cigarillo and relaxes.

Inas

So what's your business here?

Inas passes his smoke.

LAYLA

I was going to finally kill an old rival of mine he was supposed to be heading this way.

Inas

Oh really, your gonna kill them? What did they do for you want to end their life?

layla

I simply want to show him how much stronger I am, See the last time we fought he beat me to death and now I want to get even, but this time I’m going to hurt him before I kill him. I'm going to make him understand the pain he made me experience ten times over.

Inas

Well, you must be pretty strong if you believe you can do that. Who is it, your rival?

layla

A forgotten prince, the person who taught me how to fight, how to survive. In some ways, you can call him my brother.

They pass the eerily sweet-smelling tobacco back and forth.

Inas

I'm guessing it's personal?

Inas chuckles a little bit.

LAYLA

Not really.

Inas

So what makes you do it then?
