16 EXT. BUILDING SITE - NEXT 16
Looking towards the central square of the site, we hug the
wall as Sanctus, Julie and Syren creep into view.
Sanctus looks to his left - and there's Twist and Diego,
creeping forward. To his right, he sees Danyael and Naomi.
TWIST AND DIEGO
Clamber over a pile of unassembled scaffolding and take up
position overlooking the centre of the site.
TWIST
If anyone comes in, we'll spot 'em
first from here.
DIEGO
Agreed. Good choice.
TWIST
Course it was.
She looks across and they exchange a quick smile before we
join:
DANYAEL AND NAOMI
Who are also ducking down behind cover. Naomi clutches her
sword close to her, noticeably tense while Danyael is fairly
relaxed. He turns and realises she's staring at him.
DANYAEL
What?
NAOMI
How do you do it?
DANYAEL
Do what?
NAOMI
Be so, you know... 'you' at a time
like this.
DANYAEL
What, you mean devilishly handsome?
She grins, rolling her eyes.
NAOMI
Calm. Confident. Sure of yourself.
DANYAEL
(shrugs)
Plenty of practice.
She keeps studying him, watching as he scans the site for any
movement.
NAOMI
I keep seeing new ways you've
changed, you know.
DANYAEL
For the better, I hope.
NAOMI
Oh, yeah.
He turns to look at her, and she holds his stare.
NAOMI (cont'd)
When are we going to talk about...
you know...
DANYAEL
All that stuff from Michelle's
little vision thing? Beats me.
(motions to yard)
After we get the girl, kill the
baddies and save the entire planet.
NAOMI
There's always be baddies to kill
and a planet to save. There won't
always be a girl.
He lowers his head - she's right. She shuffles a little
closer to him.
NAOMI (cont'd)
Danny, I... there's something I
wanted to say, but I couldn't...
She huffs, shaking her head. This isn't going how she wanted.
DANYAEL
Naomi...
NAOMI
No, wait. Please. I know I said
some things to you that I... I
wasn't sure if they came out right,
but I... I mean, I wanted to know
if you... or even if you'd ever...
DANYAEL
Yeah. I thought about you too.
She looks up, surprised, and he flashes a warm smile back.
DANYAEL (cont'd)
A lot.
(beat)
Happy now?
She gradually starts to smile too.
NAOMI
I think so.
The moment is suddenly broken as a SHADOW swoops over the
site, and the two vampires duck back down.
SANCTUS, JULIE AND SYREN
Also look up, seeing the arrow-shaped shadow cast on the
floor joined by several more, criss-crossing overhead.
JULIE
What the-
SANCTUS
Look!
He motions to the sky, and Julie looks up to see what look
like small GLIDERS circling the site.
JULIE
What are they?
SANCTUS
I'm not sure, but I think it's safe
to say our guests have arrived.
He draws his sword, not noticing that Syren has started to
breathe more quickly - something's coming, and she's spooked.
TWIST AND DIEGO
Are also watching the fliers overhead, following them as each
one comes down to land smoothly on the upper levels of the
various scaffolds.
Each one holds a black-clad assassin, just as in the cave,
but these ones are armed with long BOWS which they start to
prepare.
Twist nudges Diego, then points to the gliders, indicating
that they should go take care of them. Diego nods, and the
two retreat into the shadows.
DANYAEL AND NAOMI
Turn to one of the other entrances as they hear MARCHING FEET
approaching, and before long more of the Trinity warriors are
filing into the construction site.
And more. And more. Danyael's eyes widen as still more of the
assassins troop in, circling the whole area.
DANYAEL
(whispers)
Okay, remember that calm face I had
before? You won't be seeing it for
a while.
Naomi nervously edges closer to him.
SANCTUS, JULIE AND SYREN
Are all still watching the incoming warriors who finally
stop, standing to attention, covering the entire square.
Julie glances round and finally notices Syren, stepping over
to her with concern.
JULIE
Syren? What is it? What's wrong?
SYREN
They're here...
She seems ready to faint, and as Julie looks back into the
square she sees the warriors part, opening a gap in the
circle at the far end of the site.
Three figures in scarlet hooded robes stride into the
clearing, their pace slow and confident.
The surrounding warriors draw their swords as one, holding
them to their chests in an almost military show of respect.
ANGLE ON: SCAFFOLDING
Unseen by those below, Twist and Diego are making their way
to the top of one building, carefully negotiating the rickety
scaffolding as they head for the archers overhead.
ON SCENE
The shortest of the three hooded figures kneels down, wiping
her hand across the dirt.
HOODED FIGURE #1
(female; stern)
Well? Is this the place, or isn't
it?
HOODED FIGURE #2
(female; softer)
I... I'm not sure...
HOODED FIGURE #1
Tch. Typical.
HOODED FIGURE #3
(female; casual)
Go easy on her. This isn't like
looking for a lost set of keys, ya
know.
Figure #1 turns to Figure #3, still by her side, and even
with the hoods up we can tell she's giving her comrade a
particularly mean glare.
Figure #2 stands, clapping her hands together to wipe away
the dust as she turns to the others.
HOODED FIGURE #2
This is the place.
Figure #1 nods and turns to some of the warriors behind her.
HOODED FIGURE #1
Bring me the Quaero.
One warrior nods, ducking out and dashing away.
DANYAEL AND NAOMI
Stay put, with Danyael trying to catch Sanctus' eye.
SANCTUS, JULIE AND SYREN
Hold position, with Julie still trying to soothe the agitated
Syren as Sanctus waits for his moment.
ON SCENE
The warrior returns with a football-sized wooden box,
hurrying up to Figure #1 and passing it to her.
She takes it and passes it to Figure #2 as the warrior darts
back into formation.
Figure #2 opens the box, reaches inside and pulls out a
SILVER SPHERE, covered with markings - the Quaero.
SANCTUS
Turns to Julie, registering Syren's distress at last.
SANCTUS
Is she alright?
JULIE
Bad vibes. It'll pass.
SANCTUS
(off hooded figures)
They've got it. Get ready to move.
JULIE
'Move'? How? There's got to be over
fifty goons out there!
SANCTUS
It's not the number that counts,
only the quality.
JULIE
Oh, that's reassuring.
SANCTUS
Just follow my lead.
He turns back to observe the three figures, his eyes glancing
upwards and spotting:
TWIST AND DIEGO
Who are now just moments from ambushing the first archer.
They're in position, waiting for the opportune moment.
Diego catches Sanctus and gives him a nod - they're ready.
Twist grips her bat tightly.
SANCTUS
Looks across to Danyael and Naomi, but they're ready to move
too - and they're in striking distance of the hooded figures.
ON SCENE
Figure #2 holds the Quaero into the air, a RUMBLE of thunder
coming from the turbulent skies.
HOODED FIGURE #2
Ostendo nos quis est lost.
The skies RUMBLE again, louder this time, and several of the
warriors glance up at the sky.
HOODED FIGURE #2 (cont'd)
Ostendo sum nobis nostrum electus
unus.
There's a FLASH of lightning - and with it, a loud HUM starts
to sound out, seeming to come from the ground itself!
SYREN
Clutches her hands against her head, reeling from the
energies building up here.
FIGURE #2
Keeps hold of the Quaero as the markings on its surface start
to GLOW, pulsating in time with the HUM, which rises in
volume with every beat.
HOODED FIGURE #2 (cont'd)
(shouting)
Ostendo nos nostrum posterus!
The warriors are now all feeling the vibrations, the entire
site seeming to SHAKE a little from the energies being
summoned.
SANCTUS AND JULIE
Sanctus is silent, his eyes locked on the hooded figures.
Julie is tensed up, watching events unfold with alarm.
JULIE
Sanctus?
(no answer)
Sanctus!
Sanctus keeps his eyes on:
FIGURE #2
Who seems to be struggling to keep hold of the Quaero now,
its runes PULSING with light. SMOKE starts to rise from the
sphere - it's getting hotter.
HOODED FIGURE #2
Patefacio ianua ut quis est lost!
There's a loud BANG, and Figure #2 is almost thrown off her
feet as a WAVE of energy blasts out from her.
A thick cloud of DUST is kicked up by the wave, forcing the
warriors to step back and shield themselves...
SANCTUS
Now!!
He bursts from his cover, CHARGING into the nearest block of
warriors with a YELL and scattering them like skittles!
The startled warriors are quick to recover, but as one raises
his sword to strike Sanctus in the back:
BLAM! He drops. His comrades turn - and Julie reloads her
shotgun, sending another BLAST into the assassins.
Figures #1 and #3 spin round at the disturbance - just as
Danyael and Naomi bravely charge into the fray, battering
their way through more of the warriors.
HOODED FIGURE #1
What in the...
She looks up to her archers, readying their bows.
HOODED FIGURE #1 (cont'd)
Kill them!
ARCHER #1
Takes careful aim - and WHAM! Twist cracks her bat off his
head and he drops.
Diego quickly scoops up his bow, notches and arrow and SHOOTS
at the next archer along.
The arrow flies true, and the archer HOWLS as he pitches
forward, falling to the ground.
The warriors are only in disarray for a moment, quickly
crowding round the team as they slug their way through the
overwhelming odds.
Julie is knocked to the ground, her shotgun knocked out of
her grip as a warrior looms over her, sword raised.
She manages to draw her gun and FIRE, knocking him back, but
two more take his place! She braces herself...
And there's a SHRIEK as the two men are thrown off their
feet, blasted out of the way!
Julie looks round and sees Syren making her way unsteadily
out of cover, dazed but back in the game.
Julie scrambles to her feet, SHOOTING another warrior that
gets too close as she pulls Syren towards her.
Danyael and Naomi are elbow-deep in their fights, Danyael
cutting down warriors despite taking plenty of hits of his
own, while Naomi uses her nimble feet to dodge most of the
attacks flying her way.
ARROWS start to rain down on the team, and Naomi looks up to
see three more ARCHERS are still active.
ON ARCHERS
As they notch up another round - before Diego CHARGES into
frame, his sword flashing as he cuts the archers down!
ON SCENE
The body of one archer falls before Figure #1's feet with a
THUD, and she looks round at the embattled team as the
warriors struggle to hold them back.
HOODED FIGURE #1 (cont'd)
What the hell is all this?!? Who
are these idiots?
HOODED FIGURE #2
Beats me...
She reaches up and draws back her hood...
... and reveals long, flowing red hair, pale skin and
perfectly sculpted features. This is ISABELLE. And she's hot.
ISABELLE
... but why are we letting our boys
have all the fun?
Shrugging off her robes, Isabelle reveals a jet black suit of
light BODY ARMOUR, stylised and bearing the Trinity logo.
With a flourish, she draws a long, jet black SWORD from her
back, spinning it round her wrist and picking her first
target - Danyael!
She grins and advances on him, while Figure #1 also pulls
back her hood:
This is JACQUELINE. Shorter than Isabelle, with shoulder
length, straight red hair, but the snarl twisting her
features shows she means business.
She also draws a SWORD as her eyes fall on Sanctus, and with
a SNARL of rage she rushes towards him.
Figure #2, meanwhile, is huddled over the Quaero as it
continues to pulsate, tendrils of energy snaking away from it
and slithering across the dusty ground.
Managing to push herself up into a crouch, she also throws
back her hood - long, red hair, pale skin and fashion model
looks. This is CHARLOTTE.
She fights to keep hold of the Quaero, which looks like it
might fly out of her hands at any moment:
And Diego drops smoothly into view before her. Her eyes bulge
at the sight of him.
CHARLOTTE
You! You're... you're supposed to
be dead!
Diego just raises his sword, steely-eyed and ready to attack,
and we:
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
17 EXT. CONSTRUCTION SITE - NIGHT 17
And we're right back into the thick of it - our team clash
with Trinity warriors on all sides, while Diego advances on
Charlotte, the bucking Quaero in her hands.
CHARLOTTE
It's not possible! I saw you... I
saw you die!
DIEGO
Don't believe all that you see,
chica.
CHARLOTTE
But if you're here, then that...
that means...
She looks down at the Quaero with a horrified expression.
CHARLOTTE (cont'd)
No, please... say it isn't him...
Diego takes another step towards her, but when she lifts her
head, there's fury across her features.
CHARLOTTE (cont'd)
No!
Her hand flies up, and a bolt of RED LIGHTNING streaks out,
hitting Diego dead centre and throwing him backwards!
Twist hacks down another warrior, just in time to see Diego
sail back and CRASH into some scaffolding, bringing the whole
thing down on top of him!
TWIST
Diego!
She breaks and runs to his aid, but gets cut off by three
more warriors.
WHACK! One mighty swing blasts them all out of her path, and
she keeps running to the stricken Diego.
Sanctus is surrounded by a group of warriors, but as he
raises his sword he starts to SPIN on the spot - BLUE LIGHT
trailing around him.
The warriors lunge in - and Sanctus spins round impossibly
fast, a whirlwind of action that cuts down all six warriors
in a heartbeat.
He slows from the spin and comes to a stop - just as
Jacqueline TACKLES him to the ground!
JACQUELINE
Do you have any idea what you're
doing?
She CHOPS her sword down, Sanctus blocks and struggles
against her, trying to push her back.
JACQUELINE (cont'd)
This has been planned for years,
and now we're finally here, you
freaks show up and spoil
everything!
SANCTUS
Happy to disappoint!
He KICKS her in the chest, flipping to his feet.
His eyes fall on Charlotte and the Quaero, increasing amounts
of energy snaking from it - and starting to form a flowing
CIRCLE of crackling energy on the ground.
He doesn't have chance to react, however, as Jacqueline
attacks again and forces him to defend.
Twist skids over to the pile of debris burying Diego,
frantically scooping up handfuls of rubble and tossing them
away.
As more warriors come to attack, she starts HURLING bigger
chunks at them, using the rocks as weapons.
Julie is BLASTING in every direction, warriors falling as her
handgun snaps from target to target - and then she's out of
ammo.
She fumbles with a reload - and a sword blade CUTS into her
arm! She yells and drops the gun, staggering back.
Danyael looks up and sees Julie get hit - then finds Isabelle
bearing down on him!
ISABELLE
Come on, hot shot! Let's see if
you've got the skills to match your
balls!
Warriors scatter, giving her a clear attack run as she rushes
him, Danyael just about blocking her attacks. SPARKS fly from
their blades as she harries him.
Naomi sees Danyael in trouble but can't do a thing to help,
fending off warriors of her own.
Twist finally heaves a big enough hunk of rock aside to see
Diego's arm, grabbing it and starting to haul him out of the
wreckage.
Julie is on the run, three warriors on her tail as she
clutches her wounded arm, trying to find room to grab a new
weapon.
She runs into a dead end - construction equipment blocks
every other way out. She spins round as the warriors line up,
ready to finish her, when she hears:
SYREN (O.S.)
Julie?
The warriors turn - and there's Syren. The warriors exchange
looks, almost seeming to chuckle at this slight girl before
them.
SYREN (cont'd)
Get down.
Julie throws herself to the floor - and Syren SCREAMS!
The warriors are hit full-on by the force of her sonic
soundwave, pushed back across the ground before EXPLODING
INTO FLAMES!
Soundlessly, the warriors stumble and drop to the floor, as
Syren nimbly dodges round their burning bodies.
SYREN (cont'd)
Julie? Julie! Where are you?
Julie hurries out and grabs Syren, another, smaller GUN in
her hand as she pauses to SHOOT another warrior.
JULIE
What did you do to them?
SYREN
I'm not sure... I just made sure I
was very angry first.
Naomi hits the dirt, grimacing as she's KICKED in the
stomach. She tries to get up but gets KICKED again, rolling
onto her back.
The warrior above her lifts his sword and DRIVES it down into
her chest before she can recover, and Naomi SCREAMS!
The warrior hesitates - and Naomi KICKS him! He staggers back
as she grits her teeth and pulls the sword from her, pushing
herself to her feet and turning to face him.
NAOMI
Sorry, but vampires don't kill that
easy...
The warrior hesitates again - and then reaches for his belt,
drawing a STAKE!
NAOMI (cont'd)
(boggles)
Oh, sh-
WHAM! He tackles her and their struggles begin again.
Back with Twist, she's managed to get DIEGO halfway out when
she's SLICED across the back by a warrior's sword, CRYING OUT
and stumbling forward.
Her vampire fangs are out and her eyes are blood red, and at
the sight of this the warrior pauses, cocks his head - and
then draws a STAKE!
He raises it, ready to finish the stunned Twist - and there's
a flash of STEEL past his neck.
A beat - and his head slides smoothly from his shoulders to
reveal Diego, bloodied but still on his feet.
He reaches down and pulls Twist to her feet, limping on what
looks like a broken ankle.
TWIST
Thanks...
DIEGO
That's the thing about dying in
battle. You try not to make it easy
for your opponent to do so.
She manages a smile, scooping to retrieve her bat as she
sees:
DANYAEL AND ISABELLE
Still locked in mortal combat, and Danyael still getting his
ass kicked by the far superior swordsmanship of Isabelle.
She KICKS him over a cement mixer, hopping over it to keep
her momentum.
ISABELLE
So who are you people? You're not
Cleaners, 'cause Cleaners wait till
after the action.
He tries to attack, but she just SWATS his sword away and
KICKS him in the throat without breaking stride.
ISABELLE (cont'd)
You ain't the government, because
as far as I know they don't care
enough about people like us. So,
what? Bounty hunters?
POW! She BACKHANDS him again as he tries to get up.
ISABELLE (cont'd)
Very ambitious vigilantes? Come on,
you may as well tell me before I
kill you.
He tries to stand, but with one STAB she SKEWERS him to the
ground, and Danyael GRUNTS in pain.
ISABELLE (cont'd)
Or not.
DANYAEL
You forgot one...
Isabelle reacts - why isn't he dead?
Danyael's FANGS are out as he SWIPES the sword away and
TACKLES Isabelle head first, landing a HEAD BUTT.
DANYAEL (cont'd)
Try vampires.
She's only thrown for a second, SWEEPING Danyael to the floor
and going for her sword.
Sanctus is holding his own against Jacqueline, but it's clear
the advantage is with her as she drives him back.
JACQUELINE
I don't care who you are or what
you want, but you crossed the wrong
people this time.
SANCTUS
Funny, I'll bet my team would say
the same to you.
He knocks her sword back, jumping and pushing off the closest
wall to KICK her, landing and SWEEPING her off her feet.
She flips up - straight into a FOREARM that slams her back
down. Sanctus grabs her by her shirt and PUNCHES her across
the jaw.
SANCTUS (cont'd)
I'm afraid your plans for the
Quaero are-
ZAP! He's blasted off his feet by a white ball of light, and
Jacqueline turns to see Charlotte lowering her hand, her
attention still focused on the Quaero.
JACQUELINE
("hmph")
So she does have her uses...
Naomi is still fighting her enemy, but she manages to draw
him close enough to BITE him, the warrior dropping the stake
in the attack.
She drives her knee into his groin and THROWS him over her,
the warrior flying into a wall with a loud CRACK.
Naomi spins round and sees Charlotte taking aim at Danyael
again, as Danyael pushes back Isabelle this time.
NAOMI
Oh, no, you don't...
Charlotte's back is to Naomi as she closes in, and it's not
until the last second that Charlotte turns:
THWACK! Naomi lays her down with one clean punch, the Quaero
bouncing from her hands.
CHARLOTTE
No!
Both girls lunge for the wayward sphere, but a well-placed
ELBOW makes sure Naomi gets there first.
As her hands close around the device, however:
BOOM! Another SHOCKWAVE blows over the site, knocking almost
everyone it hits to the ground, and the BLAZE of white light
that goes with it fades to show Naomi, her eyes GLOWING with
the same light as her hands clamp around the Quaero.
She convulses, energy pouring through her and out of control,
until a passing warrior ROUNDHOUSE KICKS her and she falls,
dropping the sphere.
This time, Charlotte catches it, bringing the energy back
under control.
Jacqueline hustles into frame, her eyes going to the buzzing
HOLE in the ground formed out of energy.
JACQUELINE
Well? What are you waiting for!
Hurry up and open the portal!
CHARLOTTE
It's not that simple! The flow of
magic's been disrupted, I can't
just-
Jacqueline GRABS Charlotte round the throat, hauling her to
her feet.
JACQUELINE
Just do it!
Jacqueline turns to see Sanctus closing in, and breaks away
to intercept as Charlotte resumes her work.
Danyael is in full swing, raining blows down on Isabelle
until one actually connects, SLICING across her arm.
DANYAEL
So... you girls bleed after all.
Guess you're just as tough as the
rest of us, huh?
Isabelle fumes, but as Danyael goes to strike again, she
SLAMS her palm into his chest - and Danyael is hurled back!
Danyael hits the dirt, the wind well and truly knocked out of
him, and Isabelle stands as she flicks out her hair.
ISABELLE
Tougher.
Twist and Diego rejoin Julie and Syren - the odds are much
more in their favour now, but there's still at least twenty
warriors between them and Charlotte.
TWIST
Anybody got any ideas?
(to Diego)
Except you. Your plans all end in
'kill.'
SYREN
I can take them.
JULIE
All of them?
SYREN
I think so.
TWIST
Yeah, see, 'think' ain't concrete
enough for me, princess.
SYREN
Those men are between us and our
only chance of getting Chris back.
(to Julie)
That makes me angry.
Julie gets the message.
JULIE
You guys might wanna cover your
ears...
The wall of Trinity warriors slowly advances on them as Syren
sucks in a deep breath, ready to blow.
Isabelle rejoins Charlotte, glancing over to the rest of the
team, cut off by the warriors. Naomi lies at her feet, out
cold.
ISABELLE
You're all clear. Let's do this and
get out of here!
CHARLOTTE
(eyes closed)
Almost there...
Jacqueline backs into frame, glancing over to the still
stunned Danyael.
JACQUELINE
(to Isabelle)
Why didn't you finish that one off?
ISABELLE
He's a vampire. I think most of
them are.
JACQUELINE
Vampires? What would they be doing
here?
ISABELLE
You got me. We're almost done,
though, right?
JACQUELINE
We just need-
ZAP! Jacqueline spins and drops as a blast of GREEN energy
strikes her.
Isabelle whips round to see Sanctus advancing on them, his
hand raised.
ISABELLE
I'll hold him off! You just keep
doing... whatever it is you're
doing!
Isabelle moves to intercept.
Over with the others, Julie, Twist and Diego are cowering
behind Syren.
SYREN
(to warriors)
I hope you all realise you've
pushed me to this... and I'm sorry.
Starting with a low, deep note, she starts to SING, building
one continuous note in volume, the warriors slowing as they
start to feel the force pushing at them.
Syren keeps building the note, her arms rising with the sound
as the volume grows higher and higher.
A RED HAZE starts to surround her, wisps of essence trailing
up from the ground and snaking around her.
Behind her, Twist and the others have their hands pressed to
their eyes, yelling above the noise:
TWIST
What the frack is she doing?
JULIE
I think she's channelling the
energy of this place, using it to
boost her abilities!
TWIST
Yeah, but what good will that do us
if she turns this whole place
inside out?
DIEGO
Just keep your head down!
Syren's scream hits fever pitch, veins popping in her neck -
and she CLAPS her hands together.
There's a SONIC BOOM as the energy is released, SLAMMING into
the warriors head on.
Some just detonate where they stand, their limps scattering
in the shockwave, others EXPLODE into flames while the rest
are HURLED backwards, SMASHING into scaffolds and equipment
on the far side of the site.
The scream dies in an instant, and Syren wilts to the floor.
Julie jumps up and hurries to her.
TWIST
(still yelling)
Is she okay?
JULIE
She's alright!
TWIST
What?
JULIE
I said, she's alright?
TWIST
What?
Julie starts to reply - but realises Twist won't be able to
hear her, so just gives a thumbs up.
DIEGO
We need to help Sanctus.
He hobbles forward, directing the others to the battle royale
before them.
Isabelle and Sanctus are locked in conflict just a few feet
away from Charlotte, their blades pressed against one
another.
Charlotte raises the sphere - and with it, the PORTAL of
energy rises from the floor, hanging in the air before her.
Sanctus sees Diego and the others closing in, and with a
GRUNT manages to SHOVE Isabelle backwards.
He KICKS her across the jaw and then STABS his sword into her
leg before she can recover.
ISABELLE
(screams)
You sonofa...
Sanctus is already past her and heading for Charlotte. She
turns as he approaches, but he PUNCHES her as hard as he can,
and she goes flying.
He GRABS the Quaero, his body shaking as he fights to control
the colossal amount of energy spilling from it.
SANCTUS
(yells; to Diego)
Watch them! Make sure they don't-
ZAP! Sanctus HOWLS as a stream of FIRE hits him - coming from
Charlotte's outstretched hand!
She's dazed, but she keeps a continuous stream of fire on
Sanctus, who cries out in pain again, fighting to keep his
grip on the Quaero.
JULIE
Sanctus! No!
Sanctus starts to BURN UP, smoke rising from his body as his
skin starts to blacken and peel. Charlotte's fire keeps up
its intensity, but Sanctus is hanging on.
SANCTUS
(gritted teeth)
Addo domus... unus... quisnam
eram... lost nobis...
The portal FLARES white for a beat, the energy its composed
of spinning round faster and faster.
CHARLOTTE
No! You can't!
She gets both hands up now, sending another burst of FLAMES
toward Sanctus.
Twist tries to get close to her, but more FLAMES spring up in
a circle around Charlotte, whose whole body seems to BLAZE
with the energy she's giving out.
Sanctus throws his head back and ROARS in pain, the skin on
his face going black under the heat!
JULIE
(to Diego)
Help me!
They try to get close, but the flames are just too damn
fierce.
SANCTUS
Re... rep... reperio...
Sanctus lets out a final CRY - and is engulfed in the FLAMES!
JULIE
No!!
Sanctus' body DISINTEGRATES in seconds, turning to ash as the
stream of fire from Charlotte blasts on and strikes one of
the buildings opposite.
The Quaero falls to the ground, but the portal continues to
BLAZE with energy.
The wall of flames around Charlotte finally drops, and Twist
lays in with a SWIPE from Duggan that knocks Charlotte cold.
She turns to see the portal, the light blazing within
building to blinding intensity.
DIEGO
Twist, get out of the way!
He comes charging towards her:
BOOM! She's knocked off her feet as the portal DETONATES,
showering the whole site with crackling shards of
electricity.
Twist hits the deck hard, energy sparking off her clothes,
and she rolls to see a figure on the ground next to her -
long, dark coat, black hair.
TWIST
Diego, come on!
She lays a hand on his shoulder to drag him up, but hears:
DIEGO (O.S.)
Twist?
She looks up - and there's Diego, the whole site rapidly
turning into an inferno thanks to Charlotte's pyromania.
DIEGO (cont'd)
Twist, come on!
