INT. A DIMLY LIT CELL596Please respect copyright.PENANAwmQyP0lCdh
THREE MEN are shackled on the floor of the dim, dank cell. The sound of a crowd roaring can be heard in the distance. MAN ONE is quaking and sobbing. MAN TWO is muttering to himself while rocking back and forth. MAN THREE (an extremely well built man with long blonde hair)looks calm and collected. KELVAN, a grizzled man with too many scars to count, appears at the door of the cell.596Please respect copyright.PENANArquXp55cQT

Give the good sword to blondie. He might have had a chance if it weren't for these two worthless worms.596Please respect copyright.PENANAPdsBipUkWS
The two guards unshackle all of the men. A SERVANT GIRL enters holding weapons. Rusty old blades, that look like well used garden machetes, are handed to the two scared men. A sharp looking sword is handed to Man Three (now known as BLONDIE).596Please respect copyright.PENANAZD51iZPvLo
INT. DIM HALLWAY596Please respect copyright.PENANAD8LhaIL11z
The three men are forced out of their cell by the guards and ushered down a hallway. There is light coming through the doorway at the end. Kelvan and the servant girl watch from behind. Man One wets himself. The urine runs down his legs as they get closer to the door. The screams of the crowd get louder as they get closer. When they approach the door one of the guards knocks twice on it and it flies open, flooding the room with sunlight.596Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6pfm4xJUA
EXT. A MAKESHIFT, OUTDOOR ARENA WITH BLOOD SPLOTCHES ON THE GROUND596Please respect copyright.PENANA6Uua8jYQ1J
A GLADIATOR dressed in patchwork armor made of football pads, a motorcycle helmet, spikes, leather and chain is holding a huge axe in the center of the arena. He is playing up to the cheering crowd. The three men stand in the door way as it shuts. Man One turns and starts banging on the door.596Please respect copyright.PENANA5JkzYAOPcx
MAN ONE596Please respect copyright.PENANAliDgv7pR5P
Please! Please! Let me back in!596Please respect copyright.PENANAVO75RmW59O
Man One looks frantically around the arena until he sees an IMPORTANT LOOKING MAN sitting in what appears to be a balcony. The man I surrounded by GUARDS. Man One runs up to the balcony and falls to his knees in front of it.596Please respect copyright.PENANAv6pLNOaqnh
MAN ONE596Please respect copyright.PENANA18iRfoTRmE
Please, Gemini! Please! I've learned my lesson! I will make up for the rations I took! My family was starving!596Please respect copyright.PENANARSsayeUaVi
The important looking man (now known as GEMINI) stands and looks down on the pleading man. The crowd becomes silent. 596Please respect copyright.PENANApDTkwrZpvN
GEMINI (IN AN UNNATURALLY LOUD VOICE)596Please respect copyright.PENANAQrSmwEkj7r
Your family is now in a labor camp. Let this man serve as a warning to any who steal from the state. 596Please respect copyright.PENANADI22yIloDu
Man One is cleaved in half by the gladiator and his axe. The crowd goes wild. Gemini smiles and sits. He nods to an ANNOUNCER who is not far from them. The Announcer grabs his microphone. 596Please respect copyright.PENANAt2lrizsTgo

BLONDIE596Please respect copyright.PENANA9nNp0kJvPP
Stay near me. We must work together.596Please respect copyright.PENANAw2XGOngzta
The sound of thunder crashes through the sky again. Man Two continues to breath heavy as he flanks Blondie. Vulture heads towards them. The gladiator swings at them several times with his axe. The two men are able to dodge each blow.596Please respect copyright.PENANAogliXp0jJx
BLONDIE596Please respect copyright.PENANAWA1PgUYlcb
Follow my attack!596Please respect copyright.PENANASNzGSqHn91

BLONDIE596Please respect copyright.PENANAL70yAjRDqK
Follow my attack!596Please respect copyright.PENANAOoITRhZKpk
Blondie swings his sword several times, but is met by Vulture as he takes his axe in both hands and slams the handle into Blondie’s face. Thunder continues to rumble. Blondie falls to the ground. Vulture turns towards Man Two. He then shakes his head and starts showboating for the crowd. Man Two pumps himself up and makes a screaming run for Vulture. Just as he is about to reach Vulture the gladiator spins around and sinks his axe through the top of Man Two’s head. The axe splits him nearly in half as it goes all the way through his sternum. Vulture pulls out his axe and struts around the arena as the crowd goes crazy. Blondie recovers. His nose is busted and his face is covered in blood. 596Please respect copyright.PENANA7QbT0UDMDE
ANNOUNCER596Please respect copyright.PENANAqhD5cEZBJl
And another one bites the dust! How long will this last treacherous bastard last against the mighty Vulture?596Please respect copyright.PENANAxxqpBnBdf5
Vulture and Blondie circle each other. It is clear that Blondie is no stranger to combat. He is quite calm. They each exchange swings of their weapons as the thunder crashes on. Blondie closes the gap and engages Vulture in a clinch. He uses his knees and starts slamming them into Vulture’s legs, which are only protected by some leather and some thigh pads. Vulture flinches and Blondie is able to throw him in a head and arm. Vulture crashes on the ground and Blondie comes down on top of him. Vulture’s motorcycle helmet flies off. They both scramble back to their weapons. Vulture swings again, but Blondie ducks underneath and slashes the gladiator’s thigh. Vulture screams and staggers backwards. 596Please respect copyright.PENANA4YA79v8gDj

Interesting.596Please respect copyright.PENANABAXHA0dten
Vulture’s wild swings come to a peak frenzy as he slams his axe into the wall. He tries to recover it, but by then it is too late. Blondie hacks the gladiator’s forearms off as he attempts to pull the axe free. Vulture screams in agony as Blondie cleaves half of his head off. The gladiator falls lifeless to the ground. The crowd sits in stunned silence. Gemini begins to clap and the rest of the crowd follows suit. Before long they are screaming and cheering as the thunder continues to deafen them. 596Please respect copyright.PENANATxM30KCTEc
