NARRATOR

“Previously...”

INT. COFFEE HOUSE – MALL – DAY

Ken, Jane, Sammy, Ben, Rick and Zev all sit in a booth, as
Ken explains about the Temple of A’mene:

KEN

“It’s known as the A’mene, a force
worshipped for many years by the tribes
living in the area. The people believed it
to hold a great power, which could be
bestowed upon a person, who would use
it in whatever way they wished. Good or
evil. You need two things to enter the
temple of the A’mene. The Scroll of
A’mene and the Jewel of A’mene”

INT. CLASSROOM – SCHOOL – DAY

ZEV

“Vicki, I have to tell you something...”

VICKI
(slowly)
“What is it?”

Zev slowly raises his head as he looks at Vicki.

ZEV

“I like you Vicki”

VICKI

“I don’t mean it to sound mean Zev,
but my feelings towards you have
changed... I’m all for us being good friends...
Are you?”

ZEV
(smirking)
“I’m up for friends”

CUT TO:

INT. PRINCIPLE’S OFFICE – DAY

EARL

“Sorry kid, nothing personal”

ZEV

“Nolova sent you, huh?”

Earl frowns. Zev suddenly kicks up his right leg, his 
foot catching Earl’s hand painfully, knocking the gun 
flying to the floor. Zev jumps up and roundhouse kicks 
Earl across the face, sending the burly man crashing to 
the ground.

CUT TO:

EXT. BACK YARD - WALKER RESIDENCE - NIGHT

Grey, the grey faced/eyed demon, suddenly, turns, bolting. He runs towards the back 
gate. The female, confused, looks around at Zev and his 
friends. Rick moves forwards with the spade, swinging it 
madly, as the demon wails.

VICKI (OS)

“Ash... What’s going on?”

ANGLE ON Zev’s eyes as they smash open wide.

We pull back as he turns. Everyone else turns, as they 
all spot Vicki, standing in the back doorway...

ZEV
(slowly)
“Vicki...”
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

We flash to see Grey being electrocuted by the commandos, 
before Ben looks up into the van, as Will steps out 
slowly. Will’s smiling, cracking his knuckles. Ben’s eyes 
open wider, as he watches Will move up to him.

WILL
(slyly)
“How’s the jaw kid?”

Ben suddenly swings his right fist in an uppercut 
attempt. Will moves to the side, pushing Ben’s fist away 
with his left hand. Will then knees Ben in the gut, 
winding him. Will the uppercuts Ben in the face, knocking 
him onto his back. Ben coughs slightly, lying on his 
back. A few trickles of blood drip down from Ben’s mouth.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. WALKER RESIDENCE - NIGHT

Zev and Vicki sit on the end of Zev’s bed, as Zev 
desperately tries to get Vicki to believe him.

ZEV

“I can show you... But think about it.
Throwing Jerry Cater through a window?
More confidence?”

Vicki sighs, knowing everything adds up, but she’s 
choosing to not believe it.

VICKI

“Prove it to me and I’ll believe”

BLACK.

FADE IN:

INT. NOLOVA ENTERPRISES - DAY

We come inside an average office corridor, as several 
accountants walk along towards their offices. We see Will 
ahead of them, walking straight towards us. He looks 
tired, having been up all night... He moves steadily 
towards us, before we switch views, to see that an 
elevator stands where we had stood.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. TERRY’S OFFICE - NOLOVA ENTERPRISES - DAY

The doors to Terry’s office open, as Will walks in 
boldly. Terry sits behind his desk, as usual, talking on 
the phone to a client. As Will closes both doors, he 
turns, looking over the bright office. He cans see the 
beach through the windows, as he slowly moves up to them, 
wishing he could be on them right now...

TERRY (OS)

“Ok, remember, nine thirty tomorrow.
Bye”

We hear Terry slamming down the phone aggressively, as he 
groans loudly. Will turns slowly, before moving towards 
the chair in front of Terry’s desk.

WILL

“Morning”

TERRY
(happily)
“Good morning Will! Something
grand has arrived!”

WILL
(slowly)
“What arrived?”

Terry pulls up from under his desk, a package, wrapped in 
dirty brown paper. He lays it down on the desk, as Will 
sits in the chair, intrigued.

TERRY

“I was going to send you out to hunt
this down for me, but someone else
already knew where it was”

WILL
(carelessly)
“Saves me a job”

Will looks at the package curiously, as Terry leans 
forwards in his chair. Will’s eyes travel up to meet with 
Terry’s eyes.

TERRY

“Inside this package, is a device. The
Kaman Nortel. When opened, it will
deliver me the information I need to
get the Jewel of A’mene”

WILL
(slowly)
“What’s the Jewel of A’mene?”

TERRY

“An ancient rune that will work under
the incantations on the Scroll of the
A’mene”

WILL

“That battered bit of paper I had to get”

TERRY

“Precisely. And that battered bit of
paper, when read with the Jewel, will
unleash the ultimate power. But of
course, you need to be inside the
Temple of A’mene”

WILL

“Cool, temples. So, open up the
Nortel thing”

Terry nods slowly, as his hands grab the package crudely. 
He rips off the dirty paper, to reveal a stretched circular shaped 
metal object, which fits into the palm of Terry’s hand.

WILL

“So small. You sure it has information
in it?”

TERRY
(looking up)
“Literally, in it”

Will nods in surprise, as Terry fiddles with the metal 
object, looking for some kind of opening device. After a 
few moments of searching, Terry’s thumb presses into 
something.

TERRY

“Aha”

A loud hissing sound comes from the bottom of the Nortel, 
as if escaping air. Terry turns the Nortel around, as 
Will leans forwards slowly. We see a small hatch has 
opened, revealing a dark hole. Terry smiles slowly, as he 
shakes the device, trying to get something to drop out.

WILL

“Empty?”

TERRY

“Shouldn’t be”

Terry shakes it harder and suddenly, a small black blob 
with a red streak running down the back, pops out, 
landing onto the desk. Both Terry and Will look puzzled 
at the small black blob.

ANGLE ON the black blob. Suddenly the black blob wobbles, 
as we see legs sprouting out from the sides. After a 
second or so, the black blob is now running along the 
desk.

We pull back to see Will jump out of his seat as the 
black blob flies off of the desk towards him.

WILL

“JESUS!”

Will jumps to the side as the black blob runs across the 
chair and drops down to the carpet. Terry stands, eyes 
wide, as the black blob moves towards the door. Terry 
grabs the Nortel and puts his eye up to the hatch.

After a second, he throws the device down.

TERRY

“That must be the information! It must
do something!”

Will nods, before turning, but he’s too late. We watch as 
the blob runs under the doors. Will slowly turns to 
Terry.

We close up on Terry’s face.

TERRY

“We need to find that bug”

WILL

“Got it

Will turns and moves over to the door. As we close up on 
Terry’s desperate face, we hear the office door shut.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. NOLOVA ENTERPRISES - DAY

We come outside the front doors of Nolova Enterprises, as 
the doors open as a few people walk out.

ANGLE ON the small black bug, as it scurries out of the 
doors and starts moving down the steps.

After a few seconds, we pan up past the doors and up 
along the front of the window, passing the second 
floor... Third, fourth...

We finally reach the eighth floor, where we come across 
Terry, staring out of the window, looking down, as if he 
can see the bug moving across the street below...

FADE IN:

EXT. COURTYARD - SCHOOL - DAY

We come outside in the large front courtyard, where we 
see several people crowded around a small ‘shrine’ in one 
of the corners. The sun beams down, as a gentle breeze 
ruffles a few people. As we gradually get closer, we see 
three pictures, two guys and one girl. Underneath, a 
plaque reads: ‘We will always remember your kindness and 
enthusiasm’

GUY #1

“Poor David”

GUY #2

“Yeah, he was a funny guy”

GUY #3

“No one beat Gordon though”

GIRL #1

“Marisa... I’ll always remember you
girl”

We pull back slowly, as the shrine for the murdered 
victims in 1.18 glows under the sun. We suddenly whip 
around to face the main doors of the school, as we see a 
few tearful girls standing by, holding flowers. Walking 
past them, are Zev, Rick, Ashley and Tim.

ZEV

“So, you’re still dating? I am surprised”

RICK

“What? You think I’m incapable of
keeping a girl?”

TIM

“Not so much as keeping, but as for
you staying with one... You were
another me!”

RICK
(slowly)
“I like Jill. A lot”

ASHLEY

“I think it’s really cool. Two people
in love, with each other. What can
be more perfect?”

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL - DAY

The three guys look at Ashley oddly, as they all enter 
through the school doors. They turn right onto the large 
stairs, heading up.

RICK

“Maybe if she bought me things
instead of it always being the
other way around”

TIM

“That’s a woman for ya. Take, take,
take”

ASHLEY
(offended)
“Hey! Ok, I’m gonna go now, before
I end up hurting you!”

Rick and Tim laugh to each other, as Ashley rolls her 
eyes, turning and heading back down the stairs. As Zev, 
Rick and Tim turn onto the top landing, they bump 
straight into Renee and Mandy.

MANDY
(shocked)
“Oh! Sorry!”

Zev smiles, as Rick and Tim move past the two girls.

ZEV

“Hey, is the meeting finished?”

MANDY

“Yeah”

RENEE

“Sammy should be right out”

ZEV

“Cool. Later”

Renee and Mandy smile nervously, before moving past Zev 
and heading down the stairs. They again bump into a few 
more students. Zev catches Rick and Tim up quickly.

ZEV

“I’m gonna go meet Sammy.
(to Rick)
See you in class”

RICK

“Alright”

TIM

“Later Zev”

Zev turns, raising his hand in a ‘good-bye’ gesture. Rick 
and Tim continue along the corridor, as more people 
appear to be arriving.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR - SCHOOL - DAY

Out of the fairly empty A-U common room, steps Sammy, 
putting a few minuscule things away into her bag. She 
looks up as Zev approaches her. She smiles at him, clearly in a
good mood today. Zev raises his eyebrows slightly as he stops in
front of Sammy.

SAMMY

“Hey”

ZEV

“Hey, have you done Mr. Reins’ work?”

SAMMY
(suddenly)
“NO!”

Zev creases his face up in horror.

ZEV

“We’re doomed!”

SAMMY

“I’m guessing by that sentence that
you forgot to do the homework”

ZEV
(smirking)
“You guessed right”

SAMMY

“God, what can my excuse be?
Something A-U related... Or, I’ll
say I had my period all week”

Zev frowns, as they both move along the corridor slowly, 
passing a few students crowded around their lockers.

ZEV

“I thought you were really sensitive
to period issues”

SAMMY

“I am, unless I can use them to my
advantage”

Sammy winks mischievously, as Zev rolls his eyes.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. COURTYARD - DAY

We come back outside in the sunny courtyard, by the 
archway, as we see a 16-year-old girl, with flowing, wavy 
brown hair, big puppy eyes, a good figure and a really 
cute face, as she walks slowly under the arch and into 
the courtyard. She looks around slowly, unsure of where 
to go, her senses not about her.

ASHLEY (OS)

“Excuse me”

The girl jumps and looks to her right to see Ashley 
standing up against the wall, chilling out after Tim’s 
offensive words.

GIRL
					(defensively)
“Um... Yeah?”

ASHLEY

“Are you new?”

GIRL
(smirking)
“Yeah, is it that obvious?”

Ashley smiles as she moves forwards, stepping up to the 
girl. Both are equal in height.

ASHLEY

“Kinda. but don’t sweat it. You want
me to show you around?”

GIRL

“Sure, that’d be great. My name’s Ellie,
Ellie Ford”

ASHLEY

“I’m Ashley”

Both girls shake hands, as Ashley then turns towards the 
main doors. Ashley leans in to Ellie slowly, as they both head
towards the front doors.

ASHLEY

“All you have to remember is, avoid
guys”

ELLIE
(slowly)
“Um, ok”

Ashley leads Ellie towards the front doors, as a few guys 
check Ellie and Ashley out.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. TERRY’S OFFICE - NOLOVA ENTERPRISES - DAY

Terry stands in front of a few commandos, talking them 
through what he wants them to do. He strides in front of 
them, like a General.

TERRY

“Wait until you have the information
I need before killing it”

COMMANDO #1

“Sir... What if it does not have this
‘information’?”

Terry turns to the outspoken commando. He steps up to him 
slowly, their faces becoming an inch or so apart.

TERRY

“It will have the information. You will
find it. You will kill it. Understood?”

COMMANDO #1

“Yes sir”

Terry steps back, turning his back on his men. He moves 
slowly towards his desk, before whipping back around, 
eyebrows raised at the commandos still being in his 
office.

TERRY

“Dismissed”

The commandos nod, turning slowly towards the office 
doors. Standing in them however, is Melissa, carrying a 
small tray with a cup of coffee, milk jug and 
sugar/sweetener tray.

MELISSA

“Sorry, I didn’t realize you had
company”

TERRY
(smiling)
“They were just leaving”

Melissa steps into the office and to the side as the 
commandos walk by Melissa. The commando to speak looks at 
Melissa, checking her out. Melissa notices this and 
commences to roll her eyes and sigh. As soon as the 
commandos are gone, Melissa advances towards Terry’s desk 
with the tray.

MELISSA

“Will Woods phoned in a few minutes
ago. He won’t be in today, he’s got...
Stomach cramps”

Melissa’s obviously lying through her teeth, but Terry 
smiles anyway, as he takes his cup of coffee. He slowly 
moves around his desk towards his seat.

TERRY

“No problem. I have someone else
who can lead the commandos in their
hunt”

MELISSA
(happily)
“Ok, anything else sir?”

TERRY

“Not at the moment, just continue
with the location scans for the Temple”

MELISSA

“Will do”

Melissa nods courteously before turning and heading out 
of the office. Terry sits down slowly, holding his cup. 
He slowly takes a sip, before looking out towards the 
beach... He lowers the cup slowly.

TERRY

“I’ll find you... You know that”
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. DARK HOLE - DAY

We come into a grotty, muddy little hole, about the size 
of a basketball, in the middle of, as far as we can tell 
from a brief view of the surroundings, a woods.

TERRY (VO)

“And I’ll get the information I want”

Suddenly, in the dark hole, we sense movement, as a 
scratching sound comes up from the blackness, followed by 
a small screeching sound...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. WALKER RESIDENCE - EVENING

Outside, on Zev’s front lawn, sits Sammy, Ben and Rick, 
waiting for Zev to grab something from indoors. Ben’s jaw 
now looks ordinary, everything healed. David & Sue’s cars 
are parked in the long driveway. The setting sun casts an 
orange glow over the yard, as the front door slams shut. 
Sammy turns her head, to see Zev walking down the porch 
steps.

SAMMY

“Finally!”

Sammy stands slowly, stretching her legs. Ben and Rick 
climb to their feet, as Zev joins them, holding the 
Silver Dagger.

ZEV

“Sorry, had to grab this”

BEN

“That is one cool blade”

ZEV

“Thanks”

All four turn towards the sidewalk, heading off of Zev’s 
lawn.

RICK

“Your dad must be so jealous. None
of his daggers can compare to that”

ZEV

“Actually, he doesn’t know I have it”

SAMMY

“Wise decision if you ask me!”

RICK
(politely)
“Which he didn’t”

Sammy shoots Rick and evil look, as they all walk up to 
Ben’s pick-up, parked opposite Zev’s house across the 
street. Ben pulls out his keys and unlocks the doors. Zev 
and Rick climb into the back, as Sammy moves around to 
the passenger seat. Ben climbs in slowly.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. REDINGSTON PARK - NIGHT

We come down on the dark and demented looking park. A few 
swings blow in the wind. Behind the swings, a large 
climbing frame stands tall, the moonlight reflecting off 
of the steel.

We slowly move along the lush grass and dark shrubs, as 
we move over to a picnic bench area, filled with a lot of 
benches! On one, sits a young female, reading through a 
book. She’s gothic, with spiked black hair, white make-up 
and black clothes. She reads quietly, wanting some time 
to herself.

As we pan up to her, a shadow falls upon her. She sighs.

GIRL

“If it’s you Frat, just fuck off”

She looks up slowly, her sarcastic and angry eyes 
smashing to a stunned and fearful expression.

GIRL

“Oh my god...”

A voice speaks, barely human, with a weird, muzzy 
hissing tone to it:

VOICE (OS)
(boldly)
“God cannot help you”

The girl frowns, as we watch the shadow over her. 
suddenly, the shadow appears to double in width as a loud 
screeching sound fills the air. The girl’s eyes open 
wider and she opens her mouth in horror...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Zev, Rick, Sammy and Ben move slowly along a well lit 
street. On their right, a wall runs along, about shoulder 
height. They come across a pair of gates, which are never 
locked. Above the gates on a small brick archway, a 
plaque reads: ‘Redingston Park’. Sammy notices where they 
are and smiles with glee.

SAMMY

“Wanna go on the swings?”

RICK
(stunned)
“WHAT?”

SAMMY
(slowly, confused)
“The swings?”

ZEV

“I wouldn’t mind going on that spinning
round thing”

Suddenly, through their conversation, a blood curdling, 
piercing scream rips through the air, coming from the 
park. Everyone whips around to look through the open 
gates, looking into the dark park...

RICK

“What was that?”

BEN

“A scream”

SAMMY

“Duh”

ZEV

“Come on”

Zev takes off, running through the gates and heading into 
the park.

RICK
(sighing)
“Here we go”

Rick then takes off after Zev, as Sammy and Ben quickly 
follow, all running after Zev. We watch as we see Zev 
take a left, running past a few springy horse things.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. REDINGSTON PARK - NIGHT
We come by the swings, as we see Zev stopping near them, 
more closer towards the picnic benches. We move slowly 
over to Zev, as he walks slowly forwards, heading into 
the rows upon rows of picnic benches.

We pan around the area, as Sammy, Rick and Ben move up 
behind Zev. They all move forwards, as Zev stops suddenly 
in his tracks. The others look confused.

SAMMY

“What is it?”

RICK

“Zev?”

Zev looks utterly horrified and disgusted. He turns 
quickly, coughing, gagging on the sight he saw. Everyone 
else looks ahead and Sammy’s eyes open wide. She lets out 
a small gasp, as Ben and Rick’s jaws drop down.

RICK
(slowly)
“Jesus Christ!”

BEN
(moaning)
“God...”

Zev slowly turns back, wiping a bit of vomit away from 
his chin. His eyes look sorrowful, as he turns back away 
from the gruesome sight. We slowly look over Zev’s 
shoulder, towards the sight. As we’re focused on Zev’s 
face, the background is blurry, but we can make out, on 
the picnic bench, a bloody lump of steaming flesh.

Zev moves slowly forwards, his eyes watering slightly 
from the vomit taste. We pull back slightly, as we see 
Ben holding Sammy, as she clings to him, gagging 
slightly. Rick just blankly stares at the lump of flesh. 
As Zev moves forwards, we suddenly hear the screeching 
sound of the attacker.

Zev’s eyes open wide as he spins to his right, to be 
slammed into by a large black object. Sammy jumps out of 
Ben’s arms, as Rick spins around.

SAMMY

“Zev! ZEV!”

Sammy runs forwards, quickly followed by Zev. We pan up, 
as we see Zev rolling along the grass, wrestling with a 
large black figure, about the same size as Zev. Zev 
manages to push the figure up with his hands, gaining 
enough room to get a right hook into the figure’s jaw, 
disarming the screeching sound and knocking the figure 
off of him.

Zev quickly clambers to his feet, as the figure appears 
to scuttle away under one of the picnic benches. Sammy, 
Ben and Rick reach Zev, all of them looking shocked.

RICK

“What the hell was that?”

BEN

“It was big”

SAMMY

“Fast”

ZEV
(shocked)
“I saw its face.
(beat)
It looked like a bug... Like a cockroach”

Suddenly, as Sammy looks around, the ‘cockroach’ figure 
leaps out, screeching away, from under a bench and slams into Sammy, 
knocking the shocked girl to the ground. As Sammy rolls along the grass,
the figure stands tall, snarling wildly and looking down at Sammy, now 
appearing slightly taller than Zev and the others. The 
creature, still covered in black shadows, extends a hard 
shelled arm, backhanding Ben roughly across the jaw, 
sending him slamming into a picnic bench behind him.

Zev moves forwards, grabbing the creature’s arm and 
throwing it to the side. As the creature twists slightly 
with the momentum of its arm, Zev slams his left leg up, 
his foot slamming straight into the creature’s chin, 
knocking it flying off of its feet and slamming hard 
onto the grass next to Sammy. Zev notices a thick, red stripe
running down the creature’s back... Sammy squeals, as she grabs 
onto the nearest object... Something long...

Sammy looks up.

SAMMY’S POV: We stare directly up at a commando, as his 
head is tilted forwards, looking down.

We pull back, as Sammy scrambles backwards, before 
climbing up onto her feet. Ben slowly stands up next to 
Sammy, as Rick and Zev stare at the commando. Suddenly, 
behind the commando, step four more, all carrying loaded 
weaponry.

COMMANDO #1

“Kids, I suggest you leave”

COMMANDO #2

“We have to take care of this bug”

ZEV
(slowly)
“Sorry... Can’t go”

COMMANDO #1

“Trust me, this isn’t something you
kids want to get involved in”

SAMMY

“We’re already involved mister!”

BEN

“So take a hike”

ZEV

“Why’s Nolova want you guys hunting
this bug?”

The commandos look at the ‘kids’ oddly, before one of 
them click.

COMMANDO #3

“Oh shit! Defender!”

Zev nods slowly, smiling. Ben moves slowly around the 
side of the commandos. The first commando raises his gun 
slowly, preparing to shoot Zev. Suddenly, Ben kicks up 
his leg, disarming the commando. The commando yells in 
pain, as he quickly drops the gun and clutches his wrist. 
Ben then grabs the commando and kicks up into his jaw, a 
large crack following.

Zev moves forwards, as two of the commandos raise their 
guns. Zev grabs both guns by the barrels and does an 
amazing roundhouse to both of the commandos’ faces with 
one swing.

As they both fall back to the ground, dropping their 
guns, Zev lets go of the barrels. He then turns, as the 
black bug flies at him, literally! Zev’s eyes open in 
both confusion and horror, as the creature, at least five 
feet in the air, flies straight towards Zev. Zev, 
reflexes kicking in, drops onto his back on the ground. 
The creature whooshes/flies straight past him and slams into one 
of the remaining commandos, lifting him up into the air.

The creature flies off into the night with the terrified commando. 
Over the commando’s screams and the creature’s 
screeching, we can hear the final commando cocking his 
hand gun.

ZEV

“Shit, it’s escaped!”

SAMMY

“Look out!”

Sammy, a few feet behind Zev, raises her hand, as Zev 
turns to see the commando lifting his gun.

SAMMY

“BACK!”

Sammy’s voice booms, as a partially visible (think 
Predator camouflage!) barrier flies from her hand, moves 
around Zev and SLAMS straight into the commando, knocking 
him flying off of his feet. The commando yells angrily as 
he flies straight onto a picnic bench, smashing it 
instantly upon impact. The gun clatters onto another 
bench, as Zev turns back to Sammy.

ZEV
(gratefully)
“Thanks”

SAMMY

“Don’t mention it”

Rick and Ben rejoin with Sammy and Zev, as they look down 
at the four laid out commandos.

SAMMY

“Why would Terry want this bug killed?”

ZEV

“It must mean something to him”

RICK

“But what?”

BEN

“Think Ken will know?”

SAMMY

“Only one way we can find that out”

Everyone looks up to Sammy, as she smiles slowly. Rick, 
Ben and Zev exchange confused glances, as we see in the 
background, the four commandos slowly crawling, and some 
actually walking, away.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - SCHOOL - DAY

Sammy, Rick, Ben and Zev stand opposite Ken’s desk, as 
Ken stands on the other side, holding a cup of coffee in 
his right hand, his case in his left. He looks as if he’s 
just woken up, red eyed. Ken suddenly realises that the 
others are there and jumps slightly, spilling some of his 
coffee.

KEN
(shocked)
“What are- I mean, I didn’t see you...”

Zev smirks, as Sammy raises an eyebrow at the zombie-like 
Ken.

SAMMY

“Had a rough night?”

KEN

“Yeah, Jane and I had a bit too much
to drink”

RICK

“Well, it wasn’t as rough as ours”

Ken looks up seriously, his eyes opening slightly. He 
looks at them suspiciously.

KEN

“What happened?”

ZEV

“We sort of ran into a bug problem”

BEN

“Literally”

SAMMY

“This thing was huge”

RICK

“Strong and really fast”

Ken struggles to keep up with all the voices. He drops 
his case and raises his left hand to silence them.

KEN
(slowly)
“Sorry, my head is spinning... So, there
was a huge, fast... Did I hear bug?”

ZEV
(quickly)
“It was taller than me... Pretty big built
but its face looked like a cockroach”

Ken frowns, something possibly surfacing in his mind... 
He lowers his coffee onto his desk, before he looks up at 
the others.

KEN

“Are you saying it was built like a
normal person... But had a bug’s face?”

SAMMY

“That’s right Kenneth”

KEN
(snapping)
“Don’t call me that”

Sammy gives an annoying ‘Ooooo’ sound, before turning to 
giggle as Ken narrows his eyes. Ben and Rick both stand 
still, as Zev leans forwards onto the desk.

ZEV

“It had the body of a guy... The face
of a bug. Tall, black... Had a weird
red stripe on its back”

Ken nods quickly. He suddenly grabs his head with both 
his hands, groaning slightly, a headache pounding. Sammy 
turns back, still giggling, as Ben and Rick smirk at the 
state of their teacher. Ken slowly lowers his hands, 
squinting his eyes.

KEN

“I think I know what it is... I came
across it when I was reading up on
the Jewel of A’mene”

ZEV
(frowning)
“Terry sent his men to kill it... Wouldn’t
he want it alive?”

KEN

“Those commando guys were there?”

BEN

“Yeah, five of them”

KEN

“Maybe he needs to kill it to get what
he needs”

ZEV

“And that is?”

Ken slowly sits down, looking at the desk surface, 
remembering what he had read.

KEN

“Well, there’s a device, last known to
be in a museum in Colorado, called
the Kaman Nortel, that holds some
kind of message that will lead the
person able to translate the message,
to the Jewel of A’mene’s location”

RICK

“So, he’s going for the Jewel right
now?”

SAMMY
(quickly)
“We have to stop him! Now!”

KEN

“Easier said that done”

ZEV

“We should meet later at yours, discuss
everything with everyone. Then I guess
I should hunt this bug down”

Ken nods in agreement, before the school bell rips 
through their conversation. Ken looks towards the door, 
his head thumping worse than ever, as he can already hear 
the stampede of kids coming towards his classroom.

ZEV

“What time should we come over?”

Ken turns back to Zev and stands slowly.

KEN

“About six”

ZEV

“Ok, see you at six”

Zev turns, heading away, as Rick, Ben and Sammy follow. 
As they leave the room, Ken moves over to the board. The 
first few students move into the room, talking and 
shouting amongst each other. Ken sighs, closing his eyes, 
wishing he was somewhere else.

INT. GREENSTONE RESIDENCE - DAY

We look around a very tidy flat, with wooden flooring, 
leather sofas, white drapes and cream walls. The front 
room has a wide screen TV, DVD player, stereo system and 
other things. We stay on the sofa, as Will enters frame, 
sporting only boxers. He slowly sits down on the sofa, 
yawning slightly.

We pull back, as Will switches on the TV. We move to the 
left by the doorway, as Melissa, dressed in her trademark 
trouser suit, walks in slowly, smiling at Will. She holds 
a hair straighter to her hair. Will looks up and 
smiles devilishly.

WILL

“You’re finally out the bathroom”

MELISSA

“You know me. I need to take my time
getting ready”

Will looks up to a clock on a small table by the window, 
a cordless phone stand next to it.

WILL

“You better hurry, it’s nine fifteen”

MELISSA

“Don’t worry, I don’t start until ten
today”

Will slowly stands, looking excited.

WILL

“Ooh, this means we can have some
fun before work”

Melissa raises the hair tool in front of her, waving it 
threateningly.

MELISSA

“Oh no, I just got my hair straight,
after you practically screwed it up
forever last night! I’m not always in
the mood for ‘Kinky Hair Pulling’
sex games”

WILL
(shrugging)
“Fine, I guess I’ll grab a good magazine,
a box of tissues and head into the bedroom
alone”

Melissa has a quick burst of laughter, before she turns 
around and walks off into the hallway. Will sighs gently, 
flopping back onto the sofa. He flicks channels slowly.

WILL

“You want to grab some dinner tonight?”

MELISSA (OS)

“Sure! I finish at five!”

WILL

“Cool. Cus, you know, Terry could
need me to go on some wild scavenger
hunt at any time”

MELISSA (OS)

“I know, he’s close to finding out where
that Jewel thingy is”

WILL

“Yeah, the sooner, the better. Then I
can have some more vacation time”

Melissa re-appears in the doorway, now wearing high 
heeled boots and holding a black handbag.

MELISSA

“You know, you’ve had three vacations
this year alone. You gonna try and set
a new record for next year?”

WILL

“Hmmm.... 2005.... Record.... Maybe”

Will smirks as he flicks channels. Melissa rolls her 
eyes.

MELISSA

“I’m off, see you later”

WILL

“Bye... Honey”

Will does a baby voice on the honey. Melissa laughs as 
she moves away again. After a few moments, we hear the 
front door slamming shut. Looks like their relationship 
is going strong. From fling to settled...

INT. WALKER RESIDENCE - DAY

After school, Zev sits on the sofa, next to a worn out 
David, as his head nods forwards ever few seconds. Zev 
looks at his father slowly, laughing slightly every time 
his head bobs forwards in a nodding motion.

SUE (OS)

“Stop laughing at your father”

Zev turns and looks up to see Sue walking in through the 
doorway from the kitchen. She sighs at David, before 
sitting down on the sofa. She grabs the remote and flicks 
the TV on, coming up on ‘Redingston News 5’. A male 
reporter behind a desk in a newsroom stares grimly into 
the camera.

REPORTER

“The remains of a seventeen year old
girl were found this morning in
Redingston Park, sparking a huge
manhunt for the victim’s killers. Only
two weeks ago, David Harold, his
girlfriend Marisa Jennings and Gordon
Lowey were found brutally murdered
in the Harold’s home. The police tonight,
will release the autopsy to the public...
To try and find any possible witnesses or
possible accomplices to step forwards”

As the reporter drones on, we turn to see the horrified 
expression on Sue’s face.

SUE

“That’s so awful”

ZEV
(slowly)
“Yeah... It is”

Zev stands slowly, turning away from the TV. He moves 
slowly out of the front room, as Sue watches him 
curiously. Zev steps into the hallway, slowly looking 
left up the stairs, before turning to the right, where 
the front door and coat rack stands... Zev suddenly grabs 
his coat, opens the front door and leaves. As the door 
slams, we pan around to see Sue stepping into the front 
room doorway, looking perplexed.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. KEN’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

We come into Ken’s front hallway as a heavy knocking is 
heard. The lights have been dimmed, but after a second or 
so, they turn up to full brightness. As we focus on the 
door, Ken enters frame, grabbing the door handle and 
opening his front door. Zev stands in the doorway, looking 
up sadly, having seen that girl’s remains... Wishing he 
could have saved her... Ken looks at him slowly, before 
stepping aside. Zev smiles gratefully, before walking 
inside.

We follow Zev as he moves forwards along the narrow 
hallway and into the spacious front room. On one of the 
two leather sofas, sits Jane, reading a book titled: 
‘Ancient Runes & Artefacts’.

ZEV

“Hey”

Jane looks over the book and smiles politely, before 
lowering the book onto a side table. Ken walks in slowly, 
moving over to the dining table which hosts his laptop and 
grading papers.

JANE

“Hi... You ok?”

ZEV
(shrugging)
“Sort of”

JANE
(solemnly)
“You found the girl, didn’t you?”

Zev nods slowly, as Jane nods slowly. Ken draws the 
curtains to a close, as he turns back to Zev and Jane.

KEN

“We’ll just wait for the others, before
we start”

ZEV

“Ok, sorry about being early. I just
couldn’t stand seeing the news report
on TV... I had to get out, you know?”

JANE
					(slowly)
“I get that”

ZEV

“And this place was the only place
that popped into my head”

Ken stares blankly ahead, as Zev moves over to the other sofa. He sits 
down on it slowly, sighing and putting his head into his 
hands. Jane smiles comfortingly at Ken, as he strides 
across the room and heads towards the kitchen.

KEN

“I think I have some soda...”

Ken disappears into the kitchen.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. TERRY’S OFFICE - NIGHT

We come into Terry’s office, as he callously sits behind 
his desk, rubbing his eyes slowly, as his office doors 
open slowly. We see a commando walking in slowly, staring 
straight at Terry. Terry looks up slowly at the intrusion. 
He sighs grumpily, things not going to plan...

TERRY

“What is it?”

COMMANDO

“The team... It’s ready to move sir”

Terry smiles slightly, leaning forwards in his chair, that 
sentence having cheered him up.

TERRY

“Good. Go and complete the objective.
Tonight”

The commando nods, before turning and walking back out of 
the office. As the doors shut hollowly, Terry leans back, 
turning slightly in his chair to look out into the 
darkness beyond his office windows... A part moon shining 
onto the ocean in the distance...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. KEN’S APARTMENT - NIGHT
We come into Ken’s front room, with a view of the two 
sofas, as Sammy, Ben and Jane sit on one sofa, with Zev, 
Rick and Tim on the other sofa, with Ashley and Vicki both 
sitting on either ends of the sofa arms. Ken stands in 
front of them, by the dining table, a serious tone to his 
voice as he goes through what he knows on the ‘bug’ and 
what they’re going to have to do about it.

KEN

“The creature itself, should contain
information vital to Terry on the
Jewel’s whereabouts. We need to get
our hands on that information first...
Or kill the creature before it can give
out any information”

ZEV

“I vote for the later!”

SAMMY
(hand up)
“Me too!”

ASHLEY

“Same”

Rick, Ben and Tim pretty much agree, as Vicki sits 
quietly, not really too sure of what to say, as she’s 
still not 100% on board with the demons-reality thing. 
Jane looks around at the others slowly, knowing that the 
second option is what everyone clearly wants...

JANE
(slowly)
“I guess that’s settled”

Ken nods slowly, as he moves his hands to his words...

KEN

“If we fail and Terry gets this information...
We’re in deep shit. No comfy blanket to
what’s going to be at stake. We fail, he
wins. Our last hope is to get this
information and get the Jewel...
Otherwise, God only knows what Terry
Nolova will do with the power he receives”

We move around the room, close up on everyone’s faces, as 
they all stare seriously at Ken, knowing what’s at 
stake...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. WALKER RESIDENCE - NIGHT

Rick and Ashley stand by Zev’s bedroom door, as we see 
clothes lying on the bed, as we see Zev’s closet wide 
open, Zev kneeled inside, digging through some stuff. Rick 
watches slowly, an eyebrow raised, confused at Zev’s 
fumbling. Ashley, bored and being her first time in Zev’s 
room, decides to poke about.

She moves over to Zev’s bed and noses down at his sheets, 
plain dark blue. She sighs at the boredom of it all, 
before turning towards Zev’s window. She moves slowly 
towards it, as Zev sits up, holding a small hand axe. He 
smiles at it, as if beating it at something.

ZEV

“Gotcha”

RICK (OS)

“What’s that?”

Zev stands slowly and turns to a curious Rick, as Ashley 
looks out into the night from the bedroom window. Zev 
holds up the small axe, the light reflecting off of the 
sharp blade. Rick looks at it slowly, a bit shocked at Zev 
having such a brutal weapon.

RICK

“Wow, neat axe”

ZEV

“Grabbed it from some demon a few
nights ago, didn’t think I’d really need
it, but if I’m hunting down a bug, I
might as well use it”

ASHLEY (OS)

“What about it’s nest?”

Zev and Rick both turn to Ashley, as she turns from the 
window. She crosses her arms generally, as Rick and Zev 
exchange glances. They both nod slowly, before Ashley gets 
bored again.

ASHLEY

“Well?”

ZEV

“Sammy’s department. I told her to
grab a spell that can create a lot of
fire. We’re burning down the nest”

ASHLEY

“Good. Guess Ken won’t have to
worry about the... Mini-Nortel things”

RICK

“Guess not”

Zev makes a move towards the door, as Ashley smiles, glad 
to finally be leaving.

ASHLEY

“Finally”

Rick sighs, as he turns towards the door, where Zev has 
stopped and is facing Ashley, thinking something over.

ZEV

“Ash...”

Zev squints his eyes slowly, as Ashley looks directly at 
him.

ASHLEY

“Yeah?”

We pull back slowly, as both of them enter frame, staring 
at each other silently, leaving Rick in the middle to look 
at both of them in confusion...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. KEN’S CAR - NIGHT

We slam into a view of Ken’s car from the front of the 
windscreen, looking into the car, where we see Ken 
driving, Zev in the front passenger seat, carrying his 
axe, along with Sammy & Rick in the back seat. Ken’s hands 
grip the steering wheel tensely, everything seemingly 
resting on tonight’s hunt for the bug. Sammy leans 
forwards slightly, wanting to ease the tension.

SAMMY

“Wanna try the radio?”

Zev looks sideways, silently, at Ken. Ken nods slowly.

KEN
(slowly)
“Go ahead”

RICK
(slowly)
“Where are we going?”

KEN

“All of town until we spot this bug”

ZEV

“Shouldn’t be too hard”

SAMMY

“Ha, spotting a dark, shadowy creature
at night? Phhhf, good luck!”

Ken scowls in his rear view mirror at Sammy, who sits back 
quietly. Zev fiddles with the radio, trying to find a 
decent station, as Ken takes a sharp right at high speeds.

RICK

“Think the others are ok?”

Zev stops fiddling with the radio, leaving it on a 
station. He turns in his seat to face Rick and Sammy.

ZEV

“Ashley was a bit pissed... But it’s
safer this way”

SAMMY

“Exactly. I’d swap with Ashley”

RICK

“Well, we have Ben behind us in his
pick-up along with the weapons, so
we’ll be fine... Right?”

Zev smirks, nodding slowly, sensing the fear in Rick. Zev 
slowly turns back to face the front, when we suddenly see, 
running across the street, a squat bug scuttling across 
the road, about the size of a car door, two red stripes 
down its back!

KEN

“JESUS!”

Ken slams on the brakes hard, as the bug vanishes to the 
left into the pitch darkness. Zev yells as he grabs the 
door handle. Sammy and Rick get ready, as Zev opens his 
door and jumps out, holding up his axe and running off 
into the darkness. Sammy quickly opens her door and runs 
off after Zev, shouting and waving her arms, her hands 
containing a few sheets of paper. Ken leans over his chair 
to look at Rick.

RICK

“Well, the plan kinda went out the
door with those two”

KEN

“Shit... Come on, we’ll get the weapons
from Ben’s truck and follow them”

Rick nods, as he opens his door. We pull out of the car 
slightly, as Ken’s car door opens abruptly. Ken and Rick 
both exit the car, as Ken quickly locks it up.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

On a dark street, we can make out Zev, as he runs, side on 
to us, the sound of his feet pounding the sidewalk, as he 
breathes in deeply, carrying the small axe. We move slowly 
back, as Zev runs off screen. On our left, Sammy appears, 
her high-heeled boots slamming against the sidewalk as she 
runs, holding the papers.

SAMMY

“Hold up! Wait!”

Sammy breathes heavily as she runs. We pull back and up, 
as we see both Sammy and Zev, Sammy being quite a distance 
behind Zev, as he takes a left...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Ben hands Rick a sword, half an arm’s length, as Ken holds 
a full-length sword, holding it up in a stance, ready for 
action. Ben holds up for himself, a similar sword to 
Rick’s sword. All three stand between Ken’s car and Ben’s 
parked pick-up, as a single street lamp from behind Ben’s 
pick-up lights up the small area. We see a few houses on 
the right side of Ken’s car, a few lights on.

BEN

“Should we head after them?”

KEN

“They’ll be long gone by now”

RICK
(slowly, scared)
“Too bad for us”

Rick stands, eyes wide. Ken and Ben frown, before turning 
slowly towards the dark patch opposite the houses and on 
the left of Ken’s car. Ken & Ben both look stunned, as we 
spin around to see, in the midst of the darkness, a lot of 
red eyes, all glaring towards the three guys...

BEN

“I guess the bug reproduced”

RICK

“Very rapidly”

We pull back, as we hear the snarls from the creatures, as 
Ben, Rick and Ken raise their swords...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. REDINGSTON BEACH - NIGHT

We hear the crashing of the waves against the shore, as we 
can barely see the moonlight reflecting off of the water. 
We hear slow footsteps, crunching down on the sand. We 
slowly pull back into the darkness, as magical 
cinematography reveals Zev and Sammy, both walking slowly 
along side each other, Zev the wary one, with Sammy being 
the scared of the pitch, horrific blackness one.

SAMMY

“Maybe we should go back, it’s too
dark too find that thing”

ZEV
(slowly)
“Then do some fireballs”

Sammy frowns, as she turns to Zev.

SAMMY

“I can’t risk burning down half the
woods by the beach!”

ZEV

“I meant make the fireballs in your
hands, but just don’t throw them”

SAMMY
(realizing)
“Ah, gotcha”

Sammy takes a few steps to the side, away from Zev. She 
puts the sheets of paper roughly into her jean pockets, 
screwing them up. Zev takes a few more steps back, 
watching Sammy with a smirk, as Sammy clears her throat.

ANGLE ON the palms of Sammy’s hands, as she places her 
hands (palms facing forward) by her sides, a few inches 
away from her legs. As her palms face Zev, Sammy closes 
her eyes slowly, as a gentle gust moves across the beach.

We get a view from the ground, as we look up to Sammy (on 
the right) and Zev (on the left) and in the middle, a 
small breeze blows some sand up towards Sammy’s feet, as 
Sammy starts to slowly mumble words under her breath. Zev 
watches her intently, keeping an eye on every move made, 
whilst also keeping his ears open for any noises that 
doesn’t come from them.

Sammy speaks louder, as we see a small orange glow 
appearing in the palm of her hands, like a small coin...

SAMMY

“Ishimi... Necrominatae... Here me,
Goddess of Fire, allow me to wield
your power, your flame, your essence....”

ANGLE ON Sammy’s palms, as the coin extends to a 2-D size 
of a plate, covering her hands, an orange tinted colour, 
slightly transparent.

SAMMY (OS)

“Let your flames live!”

As Sammy says this, two orange balls, the size of a soccer 
ball, erupt from the two ‘bases’ on Sammy’s hands, flames 
licking the air from the fire balls, as their heat 
distorts the air around them. Sammy raises her hands up 
slowly, lighting up the surrounding area, bright enough 
for her to see what’s ahead. Sammy turns her head towards 
Zev, smirking.

SAMMY

“Good enough?”

ZEV
(impressed)
“Definitely”

SAMMY
(smiling)
“Good”

Sammy turns back and heads forwards, her confidence back 
up and running, with her fear dead. Zev follows Sammy by 
her side, keeping a foot or so between himself and the 
fire balls to reduce burning.
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

We slam to a sword ripping through a hard, shell, ripping 
out the other side, spraying an odd yellow gunky blood 
over the camera. We switch to an opposite view, as we see 
the half-arm length sword being ripped out of a dead, 
shadowy creature. We pull back further, to see it is Rick 
who delivered the deadly blow to the creature.

BEN (OS)

“Good one!”

We spin around, to see Ben, roundhousing a creature, 
sending it slamming into the back of Ken’s car, smashing 
one of the brake lights. Ben looks a bit shocked, as Ken 
enters frame, a look of anger on his face.

KEN

“It’s bad enough that they try to kill
me, but now they’re trying to kill
my car? Oh, hell no!”

Ken turns, raising his sword high, yelling loudly. He 
charges forwards, as we pull up over the whole scene, to 
see there are a lot of these creatures in the darkness, 
where Ken is currently charging towards... Rick fights off 
a creature, as Ben whips his sword horizontally across, 
slamming it into a creature’s odd shaped head...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH WOODS - NIGHT

Zev and Sammy both stand on the edge of the woods, Sammy’s 
fire balls singing a few leaves hanging from a shrub by 
her side. Zev squints his eyes, having seen something.

SAMMY

“Well?”

ZEV

“It ran in there... Your fireballs must
have freaked it out. Come on, it must
be going back to the nest”

Zev quickly darts into the bushes, as Sammy sighs.

SAMMY

“Fire balls, out!”

Suddenly, the fireballs vanish, but the two ‘bases’ on her 
palms stay, as Sammy suddenly takes off into the woods, 
running after Zev. We pull up slowly, as we can make Sammy 
out roughly, as she gets smaller and smaller...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH FRONT - NIGHT

We come behind the Beach Hut bar, on the parking bay 
behind the small railings. Two dark vans pull up into the 
parking bays slowly, both with their headlights off, not 
wanting to be noticed... As they stop and the engines cut 
out, we hear the side doors being ripped open.

We get a shot from under the van, the top part of the 
screen cut off with darkness from the underside of the 
van, as we see in front of us, two pairs of boots jumping 
down from the van...

VOICE (OS)

“By the woods, let’s move!”

We hear a few more footsteps, followed by high heels, 
clicking on the sidewalk. We hear a female voice talk to 
one of the commandos, a gentle voice and rather English...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH WOODS - NIGHT

REVERSE ANGLE: We look out of a hole, the corners off the 
screen cut off with mud, as Sammy & Zev, both close up, 
peer straight towards us.

We switch views, so we’re now behind Sammy and Zev, as we 
see them kneeling in front of a black hole big enough for 
a person to kneel in and crawl along. We pull back a bit 
further, to see they are quite close to the actual ocean, 
near the edge of the woods by some rocks. A wave crashes 
up against the rocks, spraying water near them.

SAMMY

“You must be joking. You’ve got to
be insane to go poking around in
some damp little mud hole!”

ZEV

“We have to keep going... Come on”

Zev slowly moves forwards, heading into the tunnel, 
leading into the creature’s nest... Sammy sighs, as we see 
Zev engulfed by the darkness. We hear Zev yelp, followed 
sharply by a loud thud. Sammy jumps to her feet, a bit 
shocked & scared, her fear returning.

SAMMY
(slowly)
“Zev?
(beat)
Answer me! Zev!”

ZEV (OS)

“I’m ok, just a little drop when you
enter... Come on, I’ll catch you”

Sammy looks around, whining to herself, before she gets 
down into the mud, in her jeans, on her knees. She moves 
forwards towards the hole, her head entering the darkness. 
After a few moments, her whole body is consumed by the 
darkness. After a second, we hear her yell, followed by a 
loud thud.
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CAVERN - THE NEST - NIGHT

We slam to a view of a small tunnel opening, as we see the 
fireballs appearing, Sammy and Zev soon after. We slowly 
spin around, gaining a view of the cavern. We see it’s 
fairly tall, about 20 foot, leading up to another tunnel 
like entrance, via a spiral slope, spindling along the mud 
walls. Sammy and Zev are taken aback by the vast amount of 
space created by these creatures, including the handy use 
of a sunken lamp post, situated near the top, lighting up 
the top ‘doorway’ and spiral slope.

SAMMY

“Wow, they work fast”

ZEV
(in awe)
“Yeah... Really fast”

They both slowly step forwards, when we suddenly hear a 
weird, squishy crunching sound. Sammy slowly turns her 
attention to the right, where we see a large crack in the 
mud, leading into a pitch-black space. Sammy frowns, 
staring into the space slowly. As we zoom up towards the 
space slowly, its darkness starts to fill the screen.

Suddenly, from within, two pairs of red eyes appear, as 
snarling sounds. We switch views, to see Sammy gasping as 
she steps back. Zev turns, to be greeted by snarling 
creatures, as they leap out of the darkness, lunging 
towards him. His quick reflexes allow him to back flip, 
moving out of the way as the two black bug like creatures, 
with two red stripes on their backs, lunge towards him. 
Zev lands perfectly on his feet, as we pull back to get a 
better view.

Sammy holds up her right hand and pulls it back past her 
shoulder. As if pushing an invisible force, she slams her 
palm/hand forwards, sending the fireball flying away from 
her hand and flying towards one of the creatures. The 
creature turns and screeches loudly, as the fireball slams 
into it’s soft front area, sending it flying backwards and 
slamming into the mud wall, knocking a few pieces of dirt 
onto Zev and the other creature.

As Zev and the other creature circle each other, Sammy 
turns back to the dark area within the cracked wall. She 
suddenly pulls back her left hand and pushes it forwards, 
sending the fireball from her left hand flying through the 
crack and into the darkness, lighting up, from what we can 
see, several sacks of odd shaped items, along with strange 
tubes.

SAMMY
(slowly)
“The offspring”

Sammy turns to Zev, checking to see if he needs her. To 
which he doesn’t, as he easily bats the creature aside, 
burying his mini axe into the creature’s back, sending it 
to the muddy ground instantly. Zev rips out his axe, a 
blob of yellow gunk dripping from the blade. Zev pulls a 
disgusted face.

SAMMY

“Zev, I think I’ve found the eggs”

ZEV
(nodding)
“Do you thing”

SAMMY

“Ok, let’s go”

Zev nods, before we hear a loud snarling noise, ten times 
the sound of the other bugs, as if a large gigantic beast 
is breathing in deeply, hissing as it breathes out. Zev 
slowly turns his head, to look up towards the lamppost, 
situated near the other tunnel doorway. He keeps turning, 
looking for the source of the snarling breathing, until he 
stops, having spotted something. His eyes squint, trying 
to make out something in the shadows opposite the lamp 
post on the other side of the cavern... Something large, 
something well hidden.

SAMMY (OS)

“What is it?”

We stay on Zev’s face, as he stares straight up towards 
the darkness, not taking his eyes off of it.

ZEV

“Go... Destroy the eggs”

SAMMY (OS)

“Zev...”

ZEV

“Go”

We hear Sammy stepping through the crack slowly, before 
the right side of Zev’s face is lit up an orange colour, 
from Sammy’s re-enabled fireballs on her palms. Zev slowly 
steps forwards towards the beginning of the slope, knowing 
where he’s moving, but still looking straight up.

ZEV

“Come on down... Face me... Come
on”

Zev moves onto the slope, as the heavy breathing and 
hissing suddenly stops, cutting off. We suddenly hear 
scuttling. Our view shifts from Zev, to the lamppost. 
From the lamp post, to the darkness opposite, from the 
darkness to the middle of the cavern. From the cavern to 
the dark crack... And finally, back to Zev, as he spins 
around, looking all around him. He stops turning, facing 
back towards the entrance tunnel, as if he’s seen 
something in the tunnel. Behind him, on the muddy wall, a 
blurry black blob moves down along the wall, a large, 
thick red stripe down its back...
			
									CUT TO:

EXT. BEACH WOODS - NIGHT

We come out by the entrance to the nest, as footsteps 
sound from behind, via the cracking of twigs and crunching 
of leaves. Suddenly, a commando enters frame, staring down 
at the hole. He holds up an armed automatic rifle gun, a 
torch attached to the side, on and shining down at the 
muddy hole.

COMMANDO

“This appears to be it”

COMMANDO #2 (OS)

“Let’s get in there”

FEMALE (OS)

“Lead the way”

COMMANDO #2 (OS)

“You’ll be ok in them shoes?”

FEMALE (OS)

“Perfectly fine thank you”

The first commando turns, handing his gun to someone 
slowly. He turns back, flicking on a small torch attached 
to his torso armour, before lowering himself towards the 
hole. He gets onto his knees and soon finds himself 
engulfed by the darkness of the hole...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. CAVERN - THE NEST - NIGHT

We come straight back to where we left off, with an odd, 
blurry black blob with a large, thick red stripe down its 
back, crawling down the wall directly behind Zev. As the 
tension builds, a small chattering sound comes from the 
thing on the wall, causing Zev’s eyes to move to our 
right, his left.

ANGLE ON Zev’s face, as he slowly turns his head, trying 
to get a small glimpse of whatever it is behind him.

We pull back, as Zev reacts fast, spinning around and 
slamming the axe into the WALL! Completely missing the 
creature, as it’s already moved on...

ZEV

“Show yourself!”

Suddenly, in front of Zev, drops down a dark, shadowy 
figure, eight foot tall, broader than Zev, with a feminine 
shaped body and a large, solid, hard shelled armour around 
its back. A large, thick red stripe runs down its back. We 
slowly move around to the front, as Zev whips his head 
back to stare in horror at the creature. We see a very 
similar body to a females, except the skin is pure black, 
the skin is a hard shell and the arms are thicker than 
average, with spindly fingers jutting out from the block 
hands.

The face is very distorted, similar to a woman’s, yet also 
shows features of a bug, looking as if this thing’s face 
is made of bugs, appearing to keep moving. A small mouth, 
revealing very sharp, yellow teeth, opens slowly, letting 
out a hissing sound. Its eyes are hollow, just black pits. 
Zev’s eyes open wide, as the creature stares at him. Zev 
suddenly gets a mental reminder of the rest of the meeting 
with Ken, a part we didn’t get to see/hear.

KEN (VO)

“The one with the singular red stripe,
is the Guardian of the Kaman Nortel,
the Queen”

Zev stares into the dark, bottomless pits for eyes of the 
‘Guardian/Queen’ of the Kaman Nortel. The Queen tilts her 
head slowly, staring, we assume, straight at Zev.

QUEEN

“Leave this sanctuary”

The Queen’s voice is barely human, reeking of inhumanity. 
Zev frowns slowly, staring at the ugly creature in front 
of him.

ZEV
(slowly)
“Sorry... I... I came to get some
information”

QUEEN
(shaking head)
“No information... Leave”

Zev sighs, rolling his eyes at the rudeness of the Queen.

ZEV

“Look, bug, I’m not interested whether
you want to give me the information
or not. I’m taking it”

The Queen suddenly hisses, as if laughing at Zev. The 
Queen’s inhumane laugh startles Zev, as the Queen leans 
back slightly, hissing away. Suddenly, totally 
unexpectedly, the Queen lunges forwards, her thick arms 
extending outwards and her spindly fingers wrapping around 
Zev’s arms. Zev yells in surprise, as large, thin black 
wings spread from the Queen’s shell. After a second, Zev 
has been grabbed, wings have been sprouted and Zev is 
finding himself being taken up towards the lamp post 
tunnel doorway.

ZEV

“Get off of me!”

QUEEN

“You have insulted me, you must
be punished!”

Zev wriggles and squirms, as the Queen moves them both up 
towards the top ledge...
			
									CUT TO:

Back below, by the entrance tunnel, we see the flashlights 
of four commandos, as they fan out into the bottom of the 
cavern. Behind them, we get the outline of the English 
sounding female, as her heels slightly sink into the mud. 
She moves forwards, into the flashlights, revealing 
Alicia Xerox!!! Stunning music shoots across the screen, 
as she looks left and right, her vicious red lips sit 
parted, her brown/red hair tied into a pony tail, wearing 
a tight black outfit.

ALICIA

“Well, we made it in okay”

COMMANDO #1

“It appears we’re going back up”

The commando nods towards the beginning of the slope 
ahead, slightly lit up by the lamppost above. Alicia 
looks up slowly, as if sensing something. She frowns, 
before turning to her right, spotting flickering flames 
though the crack in the wall.

ALICIA
(slowly)
“Check it out... Up the slope. I’ll
check out this hole”

The commandos agree, heading forwards, moving cautiously 
towards the slope, closer together, as Alicia cautiously 
moves towards the crack in the wall. As she gets closer, we can generally make out the sacks of eggs, burning in an 
out of control inferno. As Alicia moves through the crack 
and into the inferno, we follow closely. Ahead, we can see 
Sammy, as she shoots a final fireball towards a final 
sack. Alicia, eyebrows raised, moves towards Sammy slowly.

We hear a metal scraping sound, as we see Alicia raising a 
dagger up slowly, preparing to attack Sammy...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. QUEEN’S CHAMBERS - THE NEST - NIGHT

In a room the size of an average shed, we hear a dripping 
sound. The walls are slimy and lit up by a small amount of 
moonlight, coming from a small hole to the left of the 
room, the dripping on the right. Suddenly, noise is heard, 
as the Queen and Zev enter, both of them struggling, the 
Queen clearly the stronger one here. She violently slams 
her left shelled arm against Zev’s jaw, sending him 
staggering backwards.

As Zev staggers, with lightening speed, the Queen flies 
forwards, slamming into Zev and quickly pinning him up 
against the wall using her right forearm. Zev grabs at the 
Queen, choking, the air cut off...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. EGG CHAMBER - NIGHT

Sammy stands above the burning pile of eggs, smiling 
happily, unaware of the stalking Alicia, standing a few 
feet behind her... Suddenly, as if fate dealt Sammy a ‘Get 
out of Jail’ card, Alicia is suddenly tackled from behind. 
Alicia screams, dropping the knife. A stunned Sammy turns 
around, to look down at Alicia, wrestling on the ground 
with a yellow stained Ben. Alicia claws at Ben with her 
nails, scratching his cheek viciously.

SAMMY
(angrily)
“HEY!”

Sammy bends down and grabs Alicia by neck, pinning her 
against the ground. Sammy leans closer, staring coldly 
into Alicia’s eyes.

SAMMY

“Don’t touch my boyfriend. And don’t
sneak up behind people. It’s rude”

Alicia snorts, as Sammy releases her throat and pulls her 
fist back into a fist. Sammy then slams her fist into 
Alicia’s nose, splattering blood over Alicia’s face. 
Alicia screams in pain and in the thought of having an 
uneven nose, as Sammy and Ben both stand slowly. Sammy’s 
face suddenly turns sour, as she starts to smell Ben.

SAMMY

“Dear god... What is that smell?”

Ben grins bashfully, pulling at his top.

BEN

“Bug blood”

SAMMY

“Oh... Lovely. Come on, these eggs
are done, let’s get Zev”

BEN

“There’s the commandos. Rick and
Ken are following them up the slope
out there”

SAMMY

“Where’s Zev?”

BEN
(shrugging)
“I didn’t see him”

Sammy’s eyes widen, as she quickly moves past the 
screaming Alicia and confused Ben...
			
									CUT TO:

INT. QUEEN’S CHAMBERS - THE NEST – NIGHT

Zev fights back against the Queen, kneeing her hard in the 
gut, causing the Queen to hiss loudly. As her arm loosens 
from Zev’s neck, releasing him, Zev grabs her arm and 
twists it to the right, slamming it up behind the Queen. 
The Queen, with pure strength, pulls her arm back, sending 
Zev, surprisingly, flying to the ground. The Queen moves 
towards him and viciously kicks him in the ribs, knocking 
him onto his back. Zev groans loudly, when suddenly, a 
commando slams the gun around the back of the Queen’s 
head, knocking her stumbling forwards.

She whips around, to see all four commandos, guns trained 
on her. She stares, confused.

QUEEN

“What is the meaning of this?”

COMMANDO

“You have information that we want”

QUEEN

“Information... No. Leave”

COMMANDO #2

“Sorry sweetheart, we’re not going
anywhere”

The commando’s sentence appears to have stricken a nerve 
in the Queen, as her hollow eyes appear to frown, before 
her wings shoot out. With the suddenly movement causing 
them to jump, the commandos all open fire, shooting down 
the Queen, the bullets tearing through her, knocking her 
into the back wall. She wails loudly as she falls down 
onto her knees, before a final shot to the head causes her 
to fall face down. Zev looks up slowly towards the 
commandos, before something else draws his attention... A 
small side room, containing what appears to be a small 
metal canister, about the size of a cordless phone...

All the commandos turn to see it, two of them heading 
forwards towards it. Zev clicks on what the canister could 
be. He suddenly jumps up to his feet, alerting the two 
remainder commandos. Before they can say or do anything, 
Zev jumps up and scissor kicks them both in the chest, 
sending them both falling backwards and out of the 
chamber.

Zev then moves forwards towards the other two commandos, 
when suddenly, Ken and Rick come running into the room. 
Rick, being the big mouth that he is, spots Zev and shouts 
out.

RICK

“Zev!”

Suddenly, the two commandos whip around, opening fire 
immediately, taking no chances. Zev ducks down, as Ken and 
Rick dive back out of the chambers. One of the commandos 
stops firing, turning and grabbing the canister. As his 
hands grip the canister, we get a quick glimpse of the 
Queen’s body shaking violently.

We pull back, as the commando firing moves around towards 
the doorway. Suddenly, Ben appears, kicking up, knocking 
the gun upwards. The bullets slam into the mud by the 
dripping water. The sound of the water gets heavier from 
the damage, as the commando fights Ben. The other two 
commandos stand, prompting Zev to jump in. The fourth 
commando, holding the canister, slips by all of them, 
exiting from the chambers and heading back down the 
slope... Ken spots this and takes a dive at the commando, 
missing hugely. Ken quickly turns to the brawling 
commandos, Ben, Rick and Zev.

KEN

“ZEV! He’s got the canister!”

Zev, appearing through the middle of the fight, moves 
quickly past Ken, looking down the slope... To see no one. 
The commando is gone, as Sammy sits halfway down the 
slope, her nose bleeding slightly from being knocked aside 
by the commando. Zev’s eyes open wide, as the last of the 
commandos drop by his feet. He turns slowly, open-mouthed 
and stunned towards Ken. Ken knows what’s happened. He 
shakes his head slowly, before turning back towards the 
chambers. Suddenly, Rick and Ben are both thrown forwards, 
slamming into Ken, sending all three to the ground. All 
three quickly look up and into the chambers.

The Queen stands, wings spread, yellow blood running down 
her chest, wings and legs. She hisses loudly, before her 
wings flap gently.

QUEEN

“It has now begun... Because of you,
the information for the Jewel’s location
is in the wrong hands!”

We get a quick glimpse of Zev’s guilty face, as he watches 
the Queen with wide eyes. Suddenly, the Queen’s wing flap 
violently, as she flies straight upwards, slamming through 
the thin mud ceiling, passing a few tree roots and heading 
up into the dark night. Zev runs forwards quickly, but 
he’s too late, again. He looks straight up, barely seeing 
the Queen as the flies into the dark sky.
Zev slowly turns his head towards the others, all who 
stare at him. We slowly close up to Zev’s face, as he 
takes a deep breath and swallows hard, knowing that only 
one more thing stands between Terry and the Temple of 
A’mene. Zev stares blankly ahead...
