7:00 Am

Miko with a Mug of her breakfast tea walks toward the camp's watchtower near the entrance gate. She enters the watchtower and looks around. As long as she looks, all she sees is grass, A road and lots of trees.

Miko - Hey Reyes. Today is a bit strange. Right?

Reyes - What happened?

Miko - Just look there, it’s unusually quiet today, usually you can hear those beasts screaming in the morning from the gate, But today is so quiet.

Reyes pulls out his Binoculars

Reyes - Yeah, right there are none.

Miko - You are the gateman, We gave you a superhero name, and superheroes have a duty to protect, and you can only protect when you tell us what is happening outside the gate.

Reyes sees Miko with fear and tension.

Miko - I’m gonna tell Nile, It feels wrong.

Reyes - Hey Miko wait, (Hold Miko and then release his hand) See Nile told me to only inform him when there is an emergency, And it's not an emergency. I mean just, Isn't it good that those beasts are not here anymore, I know you are one the smartest people around here, But maybe you’re just thinking so much.

Miko - Reyes, You are an Idiot, I am gonna tell Nile about it.

Miko Moves, Reyes calls him to wait, but she doesn’t listen.

Meanwhile, In Nile’s room, Darius, Justin and other Survival expert members of the camp are planning.

Connor - There is this place around Oozan City, when I passed from there last time, there was this camp of almost 20 people, we should take them here.

Burns - There are few people in the Arfel town as well. My brother said he was going there after Darius went out the last time, But never came back, maybe we should look there as well.

Nile - OK. so we have 2 locations. So when should we move? What time and what place.

Stephen - I think we should First go to the Oozan District as Connors is sure of people being there.

Nile - So Oozan First, Now Time.

Darius - We should go in Day-time, I’ve faced them in both day and Night, Moving in night time with low visibility can be risky.

Stephan - But there are chances of those beasts not spotting us at night.

Darius - I think they move majorly on smell and if someone accidently gets bumped into one of them, it will be a dead end.

Nile - Too risky, Is there any other suggestion on Darius' opinion.

Connor - Darius is a trusted and experienced member of our camp and he faced those beasts twice.

Justin - Not to Mention once alone.

Connor - I think we should go in Daytime.

Door Knocks - THUD THUD THUD

Mathew (Farmer) - NILE OPEN UP.

Nile opens the door.

Nile - Why are you all covered in sweat?

Mathew - Those beasts……..hah………. They destroyed our farm.

Everyone - What?

Mather - Mio Died facing them and they devoured Ethan as well.

Nile - Darius, get to Miko, And give the announcement to every guard to move toward the Farm. Everyone else gets to Fernando’s Armoury, we have to get those bastard out of our Land

Darius runs toward Miko’s room and, others moves to the armory

Darius (At Miko’s room’s door) - Damn It's locked, where is she in all this mess………I got no choice, I have to make an announcement.

Darius breaks her door and makes the announcement.

Darius - EVERYONE, THE HEADHUNTERS HAS BREACHED THE SAFETY LINE AND DESTROYED OUR FARMS, ALL OF YOU ARE REQUESTED TO MOVE IN YOUR HOUSES, ONES WHO IS DESIGNATED AS GUARDS ARE REQUESTED TO TAKE THEIR WEAPONS FROM THE ARMORY.

Miko listens to the announcements and gets shocked as she thinks of all the events she did a day before and seeing today. She comes to a possible conclusion.

Miko - I need to find Darius.

Miko runs to find Darius.

ON THE FARM

All the Guards of the camp Including Darius, Nile, Justin and others are shooting the headhunters. In order to get them away from the farm

Nile - Everyone, keep firing.

Gunshots are fired and can be heard at the camp.

Connor - They are not going back. In fact more and more are coming, our mags will get empty of bullets.

Darius -  They smell blood they won’t be going back.

Stephen - Nile, what do we do?

Nile - Fire on their eyes and nose first and then on the heart or head.

They all started firing as Nile commanded. For a moment, it worked; the headhunters recoiled under the hail of bullets. But then, one headhunter picked up a massive boulder and hurled it toward them.

Nile - Incoming Boulder, take cover.

The boulder crashed into their position, killing some members instantly and raising a cloud of dust that obscured everything. The air was thick with debris, and most of the team, including Darius, were knocked unconscious. A faint buzzing sound penetrated the haze of his mind. Slowly, Darius opened his eyes, disoriented.

Nile - what's buzzing.

Darius’ phone was vibrating in his pocket. He took a moment to gather his bearings, the reality of the situation crashing down on him. He glanced around and saw the headhunter who had thrown the boulder. Their eyes locked, the creature's gaze a direct challenge. Darius noticed something strange: the headhunters hadn't moved any closer. They remained at the same distance, as if bound by an invisible barrier.

Darius picks up the call.

Darius - AAH…Hello.

Miko - Where are you?

Darius - At the farm.

Miko - I’m coming, I know how to stop them.

Before Darius could respond, Miko had already reached the farm. She stumbled upon a heartbreaking scene: her father, lifeless on the ground. Shock paralyzed her for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears. But she didn't cry. She stood there, frozen, her mind struggling to process the sight. Miko dropped to her knees beside her father, silently down her face. 

Miko - I Know how to fix my Mistake.

She Shouts Darius’ name. And Darius replies with “I’m here.” Miko gets to Darius.

Miko - Darius? We screwed up. this fuckin mess is all our creation.

Darius - How?

Miko - Those beasts never came this close and we ask why, I think it is because of that vessel we found yesterday, It creates some sort of barrier in which those beasts can’t come. And as we moved the vessel from its location the barriers changed its location as well. Resulting that the farm doesn’t come within that barrier.

Darius (yells) - The hell? I told you not to touch stuff so randomly and you took it all the way here.

Miko - Don’t say it out loud, someone will hear us.

Darius (Yells) - So what do I do now?

Miko - My dad died Darius.

Darius (Looking at Miko’s face) - I’m sorry……(Darius holds Miko’s shoulder)… Miko, hold yourself together. We have to clean this mess we made.

Miko (Stops crying) - we need to put the vessel in the exact location from where we took it.

Darius - Okay I’ll transform and take it there and then this mess will be clear.

Miko - I guess, But that's our best shot.

Darius - I am going.

Miko - I’ll go too.

Darius - What? Are you outta your mind, it's dangerous.

Miko (with tears in her eyes) - This mess is all created because of me, and I should take the responsibility for it ....(Darius looks at Miko).....I’ve a gun.

Darius and Miko run toward the powerplant and then Darius stabs him in the chest and transforms.

Darius - hop up.

 Miko gets on Darius’ back and Darius moves toward the powerplant, but they see that the headhunters have already infiltrated the powerplant.

Miko - They entered so much inside, they already took the powerplant.

Darius - Hold tight Miko.

Darius starts running toward the farm again.

Miko - where are you going?

Darius - Sometimes we should take the Long cut.

Darius throws punches and tosses some of the headhunters that come in his way saying, “Get outta my way.” and then he jumps over the river Crossing it in one go.

Miko - The Farm. They took over the Farm. is the range of safe zone shrinking?

Darius - Fuck.

Miko - We must hurry.

Darius runs toward the temple at full speed.
