INT. A DIMLY LIT CELL564Please respect copyright.PENANASfXKejvB0r
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAC0M9a0v1mj

KELVAN564Please respect copyright.PENANA50G96PU137
Give the good sword to blondie. He might have had a chance if it weren't for these two worthless worms.564Please respect copyright.PENANAZaqCpwDEGV
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).564Please respect copyright.PENANAFouSUeiT9P
INT. DIM HALLWAY564Please respect copyright.PENANAvL38Bnf4FD
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAnfNhuYrlXs
EXT. A MAKESHIFT, OUTDOOR ARENA WITH BLOOD SPLOTCHES ON THE GROUND564Please respect copyright.PENANAhchMOVhHmp
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAlvjGmxPlRK
MAN ONE564Please respect copyright.PENANAQZxJvjj4gh
Please! Please! Let me back in!564Please respect copyright.PENANAiSN8dwNkh6
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAZoh3mQdNVh

Please, Gemini! Please! I've learned my lesson! I will make up for the rations I took! My family was starving!564Please respect copyright.PENANAGl71uMUFGL
The important looking man (now known as GEMINI) stands and looks down on the pleading man. The crowd becomes silent. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAyZL3sEN10S
GEMINI (IN AN UNNATURALLY LOUD VOICE)564Please respect copyright.PENANAnGPh3laIEf
Your family is now in a labor camp. Let this man serve as a warning to any who steal from the state. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAJli9lpTxxN
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. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAAN2N4A8NhF

BLONDIE564Please respect copyright.PENANAtWojb8VWgj
Stay near me. We must work together.564Please respect copyright.PENANA4gwcqd9bcV
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAPxf1MSPMDd
BLONDIE564Please respect copyright.PENANAnBADjKvUGS
Follow my attack!564Please respect copyright.PENANAHjNz5lEo7D

BLONDIE564Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Prt8o79u
Follow my attack!564Please respect copyright.PENANAnG2NnpzmGH
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. 564Please respect copyright.PENANANS0eQk0wPw
ANNOUNCER564Please respect copyright.PENANAHo84IxDFbz
And another one bites the dust! How long will this last treacherous bastard last against the mighty Vulture?564Please respect copyright.PENANAQYWNHaE2v9
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. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAw5WOlJU6xo

Interesting.564Please respect copyright.PENANAu7jXu7220V
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. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAWMAtSx0e8P
