Operating Room, Powerplant
Justin - Have you heard of something?
Nile - Yeah. Mouse.
Justin - You are not very friendly are you?
Nile - I am as friendly as I need to be, Now less talking and more working.
After a moment Adin comes to Justin. Justin looks at Adin with surprise
Adin - I want to go home.
Justin - how’d you get here?
Adin - I was lost in the jungle and ended up here and when I saw you getting in the plant, I followed you.
Following the distraction Adin creates, Miko and Darius enter the basement. Nile sees someone moving out of the operation room door
Nile (ask) - Did something just move?
Justin - yeah, I guess a mouse.
Nile looks at Justin,
Justin - What? I am trying to be friendly.
Darius and Miko are inside the basement, Miko sees a hole on the ground of the basement leading to a tunnel.
Darius - From here.
They both enter the tunnel from that hole. Darius starts moving ahead and Miko follows him.
Miko - What is this tunnel doing here? It looks like a sewage tunnel but it's so clean. As it was never used.
Darius - Come on. This way.
They reach to the end of the tunnel where Miko sees the river and a cave on the other side of river.
Darius - We need to go into that cave.
Miko - What? We need to go in there.
Darius - Don’t worry It's safe there.
Miko stares at Darius.
Darius - What?
Miko - Don’t say it like that, It almost felt like you are gonna rape me.
Darius - The hell?
Awkward silence. Darius is still angry.
Miko - anyway let's go in there.
They both move inside the Cave.
Miko - How long is this cave? When will we reach?
Darius - Our destination is at the end of the cave.
They Both reach the end of the cave.
Miko - what is this place, it’s astonishing.
Darius - It's a tomb
Miko - It's a temple Idiot.
Darius - the temple is above this cave. It is a tomb.
Miko - have you seen a dead body’s coffin here?
Darius - No.
Miko - then how is it a tomb? It's got to be a temple, because coffins aren’t made in a standing position, it's a statue.
Darius - How do you know this?
Miko - History was my optional in college.
Darius - I thought yours is science and stuff.
Miko - who said you can’t take history as an optional.
Darius - yeah right.
Miko - how did you know about this place?
Darius - last time when we came to the power plant, I…..
Miko (interrupts) - what is that shiny thing?
Miko runs to touch the vessel standing on a table like structure
Darius - Hey! don’t touch that thing.
Miko (stop) - why not?
Darius - I don’t know. But you should not touch random stuff.
Miko (Stares Darius) - Just tell me what you know.
Darius - you have that cynical look in your eyes again.
Darius tells Miko about the gas leak incident.
Miko - I never heard of any gas leak incident in the last few years.
Darius - Yeah. I too think that it was not about a gas leak.
Miko (holds the vessel) - It looks like it is open. (shakes it) But nothings inside
Darius - Hey! I told you not to touch this stuff randomly.
Darius snatches the vessel from Miko.
Miko - Dude that’s rude, have you forgotten about our curiosity oath.
Darius - I haven’t taken any oath. Anyways as I was saying. I think that incident did not happen because of a gas leak, but because of this vessel, because there were some investigators in my neighborhood, I think they were looking into that incident.
Miko - How do you know that they came for this thing specifically?
Darius - Ah?
Miko - understandable………..I can’t believe you guys screwed up on your first day of archeology class.
Darius - Yeah we were like that, back in the days.
Darius starts thinking of the days he spent with Mark, Hugo and Claire.
Miko - Snap out of it,......... I have a word of advice for you.
Darius - And what's that.
Miko - You should think more about the present than past and future….. Now back to work. I think I have seen this vessel somewhere before. Maybe a photo of it.
Darius - Where?
Miko - Don’t know, I saw it long before that I can remember……….. Anyway, do that thing.
Darius - Do what exactly.
Miko - Do for what we came here, Transform.
Darius - Yeah right.
Darius pulls out his knife.
Miko - What are you Doing?
Darius - I am going to kill myself.
Miko - What?
Darius - Yeah that is how this thing works.
Miko - Ok. Understandable. Do it.
Darius - Don't you wanna close your eyes.
Miko - I am used to seeing Blood and stuffs
Darius - OK. You should move back a little.
Miko moves back.
Darius - A lil more.
Miko - NO, I wanna see it in HD.
Darius Stabs his heart and A bright light comes out of him touching the upper ceiling making Miko Blind. When Miko’s vision gets stable, he sees Darius in his other form, in his beast form.
Miko (Amusingly) - YOU ARE A FUCKING VOLKERMORD…………You are Big, You Look strong and your eyes glow, Clothes like from ancient times, you got to be the VOLKERMORD FROM THOSE BOOKS.
Darius - What is a Volkermord?
Miko - Wow, your voice changed too. It's deeper now. Anyways, It's a character from a famous novel named THE FALL. BY SELLA STONES. But that is not what matters here the most, I mean look at you, look at those strong biceps and triceps of yours.
Darius - Yeah, now that you are saying, I am looking at them for the First time.
Miko - It looks so cool. What is with that horn on your forehead?
Darius - I have a horn?
Yeah - You don’....oh right. Wait. Let me take a picture to show you.
Miko takes a picture and shows it to Darius. Darius gets on his knees to see
Miko - See.
Darius - Yeah, I am so blue from head to toe.
Miko - So what can you do?
Darius - Ah! I Don’t know.
Miko - That’s lame, you don’t know what you can do?
Darius - Nope.
Miko - I can’t blame you for that.
Miko turns and sees that the vessel stops shining.
Miko - Hey! Why does this thing stop shining?
Darius - I don’t have an idea.
Miko (after a pause) - I think I have an idea why.
Miko opens the digital file of THE FALL in his phone.
Miko - Look, here it is. The author specifically signifies the vessel as an object that holds the power of the volkermord after its user the great Guardian Died. you see this Picture, Doesn't this thing look alike?
Darius - Guardian? Like from the myths.
Miko - Yeah because the author took inspiration from real life things to frame this fiction. Now we know that it is not all fiction. Well the thing is, maybe this is the object that gave you power.
Darius - Now that I think about it, I touched it and I felt something. But what was it I don’t remember now.
Miko sees Darius.
Miko - Let’s see this place more, maybe we can find something.
