INT. A DIMLY LIT CELL597Please respect copyright.PENANAtG6F1DALfx
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.597Please respect copyright.PENANAMFP2S586PE

Give the good sword to blondie. He might have had a chance if it weren't for these two worthless worms.597Please respect copyright.PENANAA33fyXxw57
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).597Please respect copyright.PENANAUYyuamMTbd
INT. DIM HALLWAY597Please respect copyright.PENANA7ypYSgvENW
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.597Please respect copyright.PENANAURyzqRavlS
EXT. A MAKESHIFT, OUTDOOR ARENA WITH BLOOD SPLOTCHES ON THE GROUND597Please respect copyright.PENANA5rcTb2QFef
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.597Please respect copyright.PENANACQwRDvFeE1
MAN ONE597Please respect copyright.PENANALjlLfM2orO
Please! Please! Let me back in!597Please respect copyright.PENANADrBceno0z2

Please, Gemini! Please! I've learned my lesson! I will make up for the rations I took! My family was starving!597Please respect copyright.PENANAkfR1kNCfQT
The important looking man (now known as GEMINI) stands and looks down on the pleading man. The crowd becomes silent. 597Please respect copyright.PENANAinadx25NVq
GEMINI (IN AN UNNATURALLY LOUD VOICE)597Please respect copyright.PENANAUuAUdJqAUM
Your family is now in a labor camp. Let this man serve as a warning to any who steal from the state. 597Please respect copyright.PENANA3cHBcj8jnv
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. 597Please respect copyright.PENANAqKTdzkRwsD

BLONDIE597Please respect copyright.PENANAd0gzmRzpQT
Stay near me. We must work together.597Please respect copyright.PENANARN7hDctse8
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.597Please respect copyright.PENANACssdyAaCFZ
BLONDIE597Please respect copyright.PENANABSvYUHEYaT
Follow my attack!597Please respect copyright.PENANAebI2AWBu0h

BLONDIE597Please respect copyright.PENANAERBQG0xiOQ
Follow my attack!597Please respect copyright.PENANAFbD8XytlUD
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. 597Please respect copyright.PENANAsbdEjacHRy
ANNOUNCER597Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4jmviG0Ce
And another one bites the dust! How long will this last treacherous bastard last against the mighty Vulture?597Please respect copyright.PENANAeJCSWYC4g7
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. 597Please respect copyright.PENANAFhaLvXkhIV

Interesting.597Please respect copyright.PENANABWPcHxUlWS
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. 597Please respect copyright.PENANAWDlT3vPADn
