Characters- Bolton Banner, Loak Hazel, Guile Banner, Epa the Sorcerer, Con Duper, the Wizard


( MANSWORLD)
[FADE IN: INT. - Bolton standing in the middle of the village with his father, he looks as if he could be no more then nine years old

Guile- Bolton (his father whispered) Bolton, look what ol' papa got his boy.

Guile is holding a little wooden box in his hands. It looks like the box was hand carved by a little pocket knife. Guile goes to open the box for his son, and "BOOM" A huge explosion takes out the village behind Guile and his son Bolton.
(We hear screams from the village people.) Guile looks into the smoke in the area of the explosion and sees a dark shadow within the smoke.

Guile-(Shouts) Bolton run.
Bolton runs in the same direction of the other villagers.

Guile- (Looks on, Stund) Is that?

The shadow races quickly to Guiles front, and now Guile can see the being for what it is..

Guile- (Angry) you’re a Wizard. What is your kind doing way over here in Mansworld?

Wizard- I'm not just an ordinary Wizard. I am the darkest wizard they're is. Not to mention the most strongest.

Guile- (Confused) I don’t care. What I do care about is what are you doing all the way over here. Your kind exists on the other side of the planet. Surely their must be some reasoning on your arrival.

Wizard- As a matter of fact, my human friend, they're is. You see your boy their, is going to grow up to be a War Lord."

Guile (Confused) A War Lord, Whatever do you mean? My son could never battle gods; it's not of his nature, nor of his kind."

Wizard- But he is. My globe of prophecies showed me all of it. I have no memories of it telling me a lie, and I have been watching it for thousands of years.

Guile- So what are you here for?

Wizard- I'm here to make sure that little Bolton’s destiny is fulfilled."

Guile- What do you mean?

The eyes of the wizard shine of lightning light, and Guile begins to be electrocuted.

Bolton comes running up to his father.

Bolton-(Crying shouts) Papa, Papa.

The Wizard looks down at Bolton, and Bolton looks up at the Wizard.

Wizard- Is was the only way for you to ever take the route of your destiny. Your father’s blood is hate inside of you. The more spilled, the more you hate. I see it now.
( Binds down, and gets in Bolton’s face This moment will drive you to greater power. Don’t forget that, kid.

(Cut to Title of Show)



(Appears on the bottom of screen) Thirteen Years Later

We see a village filled with trees, flowers and little concrete houses. The sun shines on all the villagers walking around. We now see two men walking down the village path; one has a shotgun over his shoulder.

Loak- Bolton, I will never understand how you hunt the things you do without a gun.

Bolton- Do you really think I need a pitiful bullet toy to slay my food?! I think not. I just keep me trusty knife with me.

Loak- You mean your fathers old knife?

Bolton- Hey, he made sure we never once went hungry. Not one night.

Loak- You seem to do the same with us. By the way, I will over come you with the head mantels.

Bolton- Please, the only thing I have ever seen you kill was a Mermecolion, or a Basilisk or creatures like that. Try hunting a Kujata, then come talk to me.

Loak- Oh, you act like you could kill a damn Kujata. They day I see you battle a giant bull with a thousand eyes, is the day I shut up.

Bolton- You never know, the day may come.

Loak- They don’t even exist anywhere around this area. Now a Chimera does.

Bolton- That’s the glory of the day? The big thing you were talking about?

Loak- Do you even know what a Chimera is?

Bolton- Yeah, it's made out of three different creatures.

Loak- Yes, a Lion, a Goat and a Serpent. Do you also know it is a savage beast that sprouts fire from its mouth?

Bolton- You’re not kidding?!

Loak- Do you happen to know it is the only of its kind?

Bolton- No.

Loak- Yeah, She is the divine origin of the giant Typhus and the half serpent Eliza. So you know this she beast also has a brother.

Bolton- I thought you said it was the only of its kind?

Loak- It is. But she has three brothers. The beast Cerberus, Which was born a Hell hound, the nine-headed water snake and Orthious, the giant blood thirsty three headed dog.

Bolton- And why are we going after this again?

Loak- I have only heard of the legend. I have to see the real deal, and kill it. ( smiles)


We now see Bolton and Loak walking in a dark shaded woods.

Loak- Whispering) you know, this thing goes for water at night here in Manworld, and travels off to the Land of Treasury to feed on unicorns and Pygmies.

Bolton- (whispering) Well, What water hole is it going to drink out of? There must be a dozen of them in these woods.

Loak- Shhh, Look.

Loak points over to a dark water hole. Bolton looks hard and sees the Chimera drinking from the hole.

Loak- Be quite now.

Loak aims his gun directly at it, and fires. The Chimera wines with a horrible growl, and runs toward Loak in quick rage. It grabs hold of him with its Lion jaw. The goat head knocks Bolton off his feet with its horns, and begins running quickly away with Loak it its mouth.
Loak Stabs the Lion head in its eye with his shot gun, and falls out of its mouth, grabbing onto the Chimera's tail. He begins climbing up onto its back. The vision around Loak is blurry from the speed of the creature. He takes out a little revolver out of his shoe and shoots the goat head, then falls to the ground, passed out, while the Chimera kept running.

(Manwolrd)
We now see Bolton getting up and looking around.

Bolton- Loak?!.. Loak, where are you? ( Shouts) Loak?

Bolton looks down and sees a blood trail, from the blood of Loak.

Bolton- (to himself) it must have carried him to the Land of Treasury. Or it ate him alive. One way or another I must find out..

A Bright white light appears in front of Bolton. I white haired women in a white cloak hovers in the middle of the light.

Bolton- (Shouts) who are you?

Epa- I am Epa, the Sorcerer of Guidance.

Bolton- Of Guidance?

Epa- I am here to guide you, Bolton Banner.

Bolton- Guide me to what? Guide me where? This is crazy.

Epa- Guide you to your Destiny. You’re reasoning. Guide you to your father killer.

Bolton- Guide me to the Dark Wizard, can you? Well, if your so powerful, and your here to guide me destiny, why now? Why haven’t you showed yourself before hand? Why I ask you, answer me!

Epa- Now is time. Your time is now.

Bolton- This doesn’t add up. How can you be a sorcerer? What does a Sorcerer want with a man? I don’t understand?!

Epa- Your no man, Bolton. You are a Warrior. You are destant to stop the end of existence. The gods are going to war, and you’re foreseen as the result of it all.

Bolton- I'm just a simple man, a simple Human that was born in Manworld. I have no knowledge or god like powers.

Epa- I am here to guide you to your quest of power. Your quest of vengeance and most of all. Your quest to save this world from extinction.

Bolton- Why should I believe you? Wizards have similar powers, you know?

Epa- I will guide you to your friend Loak, for your trust.

Bolton- Where is he?

Epa- Just right before you enter the Land of Treasury. You can follow his blood trail.

Bolton- the Chimera was running to fast, it would never be a clear path. Quit trying to impress me with this, and tell me where my friend is.

Epa- Murkiness.

Bolton- Murkiness?

Epa- One of the darkest, scariest places you could imagine. They’re Cyclops’s, Pinnacle Grouses, werewolves that will eat your heart, Goblins that will swallow your soul.

Bolton- Where is the location?

Epa- You need to forget about your friend and go along with your reasoning for life. You don’t know what is out there. Your friend could be already dead.

Bolton- You expect me to go fight gods but back down from Goblins and monsters?
(Shouts) I will save my friend. Now which direction?

Epa- I am afraid I cannot guide you in the wrong path. I am sorry.

Bolton- I thought you said you would help me find him in trade for your trust?

Epa- I have. You know where he is.

Bolton- But I don’t.

Epa- Search your feelings. You can feel him inside of you. You can feel his life slipping away.

Bolton(Screams in rage) NO! His life is not slipping. Loak is a warrior as well. How am I supposed to feel Loak inside of me? I am not a sorcerer.

Epa- I tried to Guide you to your path. I must leave.

Bolton- No wait.

A bright light flashes even brighter then the white ora around the sorcerer, and in a second, it is back to the shaded dark woods.
Bolton looks to the blood on the dirt.

Bolton- (To him self) Loak, You just had to go after something even you and I couldn’t handle. I bet you dint even kill it. Man, Loak. I will not give up on you, friend, I will find you.


We now see Loak lying in the dark mud, blood caked. He slowly opens his eyes. He grunts and looks at the side of his stomach, where he sees a huge wound from the bite of the Chimera.

Loak- (to himself) Alot of good that knife did ya, Bolt.

Loak gradually picks himself up holding his open wound.

We now see him spark fire, and hold it against his open wound, burning the wound shut.
He looks at his dark surroundings.

Loak-(To himself) this is defiantly not the Land of Treasury, It never moons. So where the hell am I?

We hear a sound of a screech. Loak looks around. And then ears another sound from the darkness. This time it sounds like a high pitch yell.

Loak- (To himself) What the hell is out there?
He turns around and a Goblin screams in his face, with a mouth full of blood. Loak jumps back.

Loak- (Almost Happy) A real life Goblin?!

The Goblin jumps onto Loak, sending him down to the ground. The Goblin now has top mount on loak, trying to eat his face off. Loak continues to struggle to get the goblin off of him. All of a sudden, the Goblin is shot, and put to the ground. Loak lies on his back gasping for air.

Con- Lost in the Unknown?

Loak looks over and sees a man with weapons strapped to his body.

Con- Not even a thank you, what a shame.

Con turns around, and begins to walk away.

Loak- Wait.

Con turns around.

Loak- Who are you?

Con- I am Con Duper... and You?

Loak- Loak.

Con- Well, let me inform you with some disturbing information "Loaky". You look like your a man, but this is far from Manworld, let me tell ya.

Loak- Where are we?

Con- We are in a little deep dark deadly place called, Murkiness.

Loak- Murkiness? But, How? I mean, why did the Chimera carry me here?

Con- So that’s what you’re doing all the way here?! You were Chimera food, and you got away. You should have at least waited until you got pass this land.

Loak- yeah, The Chimera was eating at me every minute, I wasn’t waiting long.

Con- You’re along ways from Manworld, Loaky. You might want to stick with me if you want to survive.

Loak- Wait, what are you doing here? You look like you’re from Mnworld, as well. You’re telling me you’re not human?

Con- Lets just say I was born in this hell. My father raised me in this dark wilderness. But he was taken alive when I was sixteen. From then on, I have survived these nights myself. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up to your nightmares, instead of falling asleep to them? To know every step you make is being watched by hundreds of creatures that are dwelling inside just to get at you. Eat you alive. and leave you praying for death?

(Silence)

Con- No? Well, I haven’t either. I haven’t wondered that. I have lived that my entire life. I've done forgot about more horrible things then anybody could imagine.. You either want to survive, or you don't. That’s it.

Loak- How do we get out of here?

Con- There is no getting out. I have never found the end to this island, and I have searched for many many years. Truth is, maybe I don’t want to find it.

Loak- Well, I do. So let’s go.

Loak begins walking into the night.

Con-I said follow me, if you want to live, not take your own path.

Loak-You’re talking about surviving in here for the rest of our lives. That is not me. I'm talking about getting the hell out of this damn funk. Look around you, Con? DO you really want to live your whole life in a dark scary place? I mean, you said it your self. It is a nightmare. Let’s find away out..


Con- We can’t. Don’t you understand? There are monsters that sleep at every exit of this island. There is no way out.


We now see Bolton walking a dark wooded path..

Bolton-(to himself) I wish the damn sorcerer would of told me something. What do these things mean when they say I am a war lord? I can’t be, can I? I mean, if I was a war lord and fought Gods, then how is it so complicated to find Loak?

Bolton stops and stares at the dark sky.

Bolton- Father, How come you never told me about any of this? Did you know, or did you not know? If I am some kind of a God myself, then why can’t I talk to you, father? I can’t be. What is this power they say I have? Where is it? Why can’t I use it to find Loak? Why couldn’t I use it to save you, father? Was I the reason Mom died? If I am so great, how come I have never met my mother?
Father, give me a sign, Damit!

Bolton slams himself and his fists to the ground.

Bolton-(Yells) what is my destiny? Is it really what they say it is? What is it?

Bolton bows his head and begins to tear.

Bolton- I lost you, Dad. I can’t loose Loak, too."

We see a flicker of light inside of both Bolton’s eyes. They flicker once more.

Bolton-(Stund) I... I feel Loak. He is still alive.

Bolton rises on his feet.

Bolton- No. Its faded. Where is he? I must keep going. I must save him.


We now see Loak and Con in a underground layer like home.

Con- Welcome to my resting area.

Loak(Sacastic) It looks comfortable.

Con- Whatever, here.

Con hands him a reptile skin shirt, and reptile skin pants.

Loak- What the hell is this?

Con-Salamander skin.

Loak(Confused) What?

Con-The spotted salamander of the symbolists taxed the imagination. Its alleged resistance to fire was such that it lived in volcanoes. Pliny believed its body was cold enough to extinguish flames. Its spittle was so poisonous that a man's hair would fall off his body at its touch. Even this creature's presence was believed to poison wells and orchards. The salamander represents those who pass through the fires of passion and of this world without stain. Therefore, it stands for chastity, loyalty, impartiality, virginity, courage, Jesus, Mary, and the faithful.

Loak- Ok, then why are you giving me it's skin to wear?

Con-These fireproof cloths appeared later to be composed of asbestos, a mineral, which is in fine filaments capable of being woven into a flexible cloth.

Loak- Wait, your saying This outfit will protect us from fire?

Con- Exactly. There are alot of things out here that either breath fire, or use it to their advantage. trust me. They know more about Human life then you or I could ever know.

We now see Con and Loak dressed in the outfits, and walking the nite.

Loak- (Sniffing) Whats that smell?

Con- What are you talking about?

Loak- I'm talking about food, I am starving. Where is it coming from. It smells like appels.

They continue to walk a little more and all of a sudden.

Loak- Here it is. This Flower..

The flower is a long leafed (nearly a foot long, and 6" wide) dark green plant with small greenish-yellow & purple bell-shaped flowers that drow on 3-4" stalks.

Loak goes to pull the fruit off the flower.

Con- No, Dont you dare pull that fruit and eat it. Are you crazy?

Loak- I was about to ask you the same thing, whats the deal?

Loak and Con carry on walking.

Con- It a Mandrake. them little small orange-coloured fleshy berries are bad for you. Have you ever heard of the Satans apple?


Loak- Yeah.It is best known for the large brown root, running 3 to 4 feet into the ground sometimes single and sometimes forked into two or three distinctive branches,which gives the plant a rough resemblance to that of a human monster form.


Con- Right, also Magically speaking, the female mandrake carries forked that look like a pair of human legs, whereas the male has only a single root.

Loak- Meaning?

Con-In the old Herbals we find them frequently figured as a male with a long beard, and a female with a very bushy head of hair.

Loak- Huh?

Con-The female form is the most sought after for magic and medicinal use. It was the female form that was carved in the Middle Ages (in Germany and France) into manikins. I thought you knew about this stuff?

Loak- I do, I mean I have heard about it, but never had to completely study it. By the way, if you lived here all your life, how do you know this?

Con- My father did not live his whole life here. So, I learned from him.

Con and Loak hear a Loud Rumbling sound, and a anormous growl.

Con- (Whispers) Shh, You hear that?

Loak- ( whispers) Yeah, what is it?

Con- Its the sound of a Cyclops.

Loak- You mean a real Life Cyclops?

Con- This isint any of the ***** crap you read about, and never see in Manworld. This is real. I know alot of you know strange are out there, but scarey strange. You don't. This earth has more creatures on it then just Humans, and the Chimera. This Island, This area. Has one of those scarey strange monsters. It may not sound scarey but it is, and that is the Cyclops.

We hear more screams, and foot steps from the Cyclops.
Con and Loak are ducking and walking slowly. Con hands Loak the sword from his back, and cocks the gun from his shoulder.

Loak- Have you ever actually been in tact with one?

Con- Let me tell you what I know about the Cyclops. The Cyclopes were almost like human beings but of a gigantic size and with only one eye in the middle of their heads. Essentially there were three of them: Brontes (thunderer), Steropes (Lightener), and Arges (Bright).

Loak-Why such given nic names?

Con- Their apart of the family of Gods. Not by much, but they have the Gods blood line. They were born to Gaea and Uranus. You see, Gaea, the father was born into the family of Gods somhow. I dont really know the whole story, but His three off springs happen to be the only three cyclops ever, and one also happens to be in this God for saken forest. Reasoing why? I could never tell ya. The Cyclopes were the first smiths. Volcanos were believed to be the aftermath of their underground work.

Loak- So they created volcanos?

Con- So it's said. You want to know what eles? Have you ever heard of Cronus?

Loak- No?!

Con- Okay, Cronus is so said a very powerful god. When Cronus came to power he imprisoned the Cyclopes in Tartarus. They were released by Zeus and fought with him against the Titans. As a reward for their release the Cyclopes gave Zeus his weapons of lighting and thunder. They continued as his workers at Mount Olympus forging his thunderbolts. You have to of heard of Zeus, right?

Loak- I'm not all dumb. I do know some stuff, you know?! My question is, How do you know so much about this?

Con- My father said I was to have a horrible destany ahead of me. That is why he raised me in the shadows. He said a God spoke to him and told him I was to be Killed. My future held great danger over all. Which made no since to me, because I was just a meer baby in a womans stomach at the time. (With anger) Why was my father chosen to have a War Lord?

Loak- What did you say? War Lord. Your destant to become a War Lord, too? I have a friend thats destant to save the world, not destroy it.

Con- If this is true, we are the complete opposite. Was his father talked to be a God as well?

Loak- No, as far as I know, Boltons father was told and murdered the same moment, by a dark Wizard.

Con-(Confused) A Dark Wizard? Evil comes to see the good, while good tries to warn the evil? What is this?

Loak- I dont know?! But I dont think we met on acident.

(Close up on Con)


We now see Bolton walking the nite woods. Everything is quite. Bolton hears a stick snap, and stops to listen in.

Bolton- (to himself) What is out there?

We see Bolton pull out his knife.

Out of the darkness jumps out a monster with a head of bull and a body of man. Drooling for food.

Bolton- (To himself) The Minotaur. Its real?!

The monster Jumps at Bolton, and Bolton stabs it in the stomach. He punches it four times to the face, kicks it in its stomach and upper cuts it back.

The beast stares deeply into Boltons eyes.

Bolton- I've heard of you ( breathing heavily) Your a God like creature.

The beast rushes Bolton. Bolton jumps to the Monsters right and stabs it in the back of its neck three times. The Minotaur fell to its face, Now making a diening sound.

Bolton- I really have heard of your creature. One kind, and one type only. You. So I guess this means the Minotaurs are exstinct.

Bolton Stands over the Minotaur stabbing it over and over again.

We now see Loak and Con running in the nite. Con stops.

Con-(Whispers) You hear that?

Loak-(whispers) No?!

Con- ( thats my point. No sound, not good.

All of a sudden a siant foot comes stomping down. Loak is thrown one way and Con is thrown another from the force of the giant foot landing. We now see the face of a giant ugly Cyclops. The Cyvclops Yells with a scarey roar.
Con beins shooting at it, and running. Yelling

Con- Follow me if you want to die. C'mon you stupid fool. Use that one eye well.

Loak looks on confused, as the Cyclops follows Con, Swinging down a Club made of a tree at Con. Hoping to smash him. Con continues to run yelling

Con- You wont make it out alive through this one.

Con jump into a hole in the ground and lights a string on fire. The Cyclops begins to run faster toward Con.

Con- (To himself) Yeah, c'mon. Thats what I want you to do, you stupid freak.

The string Con set on fire comes to its end, and the Cyclops runs into four trees of dinamyte, exploding him into almost nothing.

Peices of the Cyclops and Peices of the trees are rainging down on Con and Loak. Loak runs up closer to the fire, and Con comes walking from behind it, with a rifle in one hand, and a mashette in the other. Loak looks on in shock.

Loak(Yells) You killed a damn Cyclops. A Giant freaking Cyclops.

Con- Yeah. There is only three ways to kill one. One way, Explode it into nothing, like I did. Two, They cant swim, so Lead them to the nearest water hole, and last but not least. Shoot their damn eye. The bullet goes directly into they're brain. They're brains are no bigger then they're eye.

Loak- Huh?

Con- Yeah. Lets keep moving.

Con begins walking off, and Loak follows him.

Loak- How many times has a Cyclops attacked you?

Con- Never, not once, why?

Loak- How did you know how to kill it?

Con- I dont really remember, I think my father told me. I dont know I just knew.

Loak- Dont you see? It was in the Family of Gods correct?

Con- Yeah?!

Loak- They're sending their lowest care for first. Its beginning, just like My father and Boltons father would talk about.

Con- What the helkl are you talking about?

Loak-The gods, the freaking family of the gods are sending their barrelly family members first before sending their most loved...(Surious look) Or most strongest. Maybe their sending the weakest part of the family to attack first?!

Con- (yells) What the hell are you talking about?

Loak_(yells back) I'm talking about War lords, Gods coming to War. Evil Gods to Pure Gods. Do you know anything about the family tree back ground of the Cyclops?

Con- What do you mean?

Loak- My father and Boltons father would tell us bed time stories, and it would be of some kind of war, or battle. Between a Pure God, and a Evil God. Somtimes it was only their familys. For example, you told me the Cyclops was some how connected to the Family of Gods.. But which side?

Con- As far as I know, Zeus was a Pure lord. So I would have to guess that the Cyclops is apart of the Pure God family, but what difference does it make?

Loak- Oh my god, dont you see? What your father told you. Your destant to be Evil, Like Boltons destent to be Pure If the Pure gods are sending soilders after you, then The evil Gods are going to send soilders after Bolton. I got to get out of here, I got to find him.

Con- (yells) Wait a damn minute, just calm down now. What do you mean the pure gods are sending soilders against me? I have been killing these evil creatures all my life, Why does The Pure want me? For another matter, Why the hell would I be destant to reech havok across the globe? I'm not. I'm not destant to be a WarLord. I was born a damn human. I will die a damn human.

Loak- If that isint your destany, then tell me why your father escaped civilization, to come to hell, and raise his child? You might want to start thinking back on what really went through your child hood.

(Close up) Con has a look of concern


We now see Bolton Neiling down, and looking at the Minotaur.

Bolton(To the dead beast) I was always told in childhood stories that you were apart of a evil family. Your name, The Minotaur. The look, matches perfect to the creature that I think you are. as a matter of fact, I know you were. ( chuckles)) (To himself) My question is why the hell was this all the way here, and attacking me? Is that so called Sorcerer throwing me challanges? Or is it Really true? Is it all really true?

Bolton looks to the sky.

Bolton- If I am really ment to be a War Lord. Then where is my sign? Where is my bravery, and knoledge and strength? Father.. Is it really true.. What that Wizard said? Anything? Just somthing, answer me? If this is all realality, and truth? Then where is it? Where is the picture for me to see? What is planned out for me, father? You left me when I was nine, father. I had to learn how to survive my self. I know nothing on Wars. I dont know how to be a god. It has never crossed my mind since that nite. There just is no way I am a war lord. I can not be apart of the Pure family. I cant..

The Bright light of the sorcerer appears.

Epa- Bolton.

Bolton- (crying yell) What am I here for? What do you know of me?

Epa- I know more about you, then you would think, Bolton Banner.

Bolton(Growls in anger) Tell me.. (Yells) Spare me this, and Tell me!

Epa- You must not learn of your Destany, for it could be done differntly. You must follow the path layed infront of you. What is it you see beyound your own emotions? Learn that, and you'll know more then I could tell you.

Bolton- Please. Was my father murdered because of me?

The sorcerer glows brightly in silence.

Bolton(Yells) Please!!

Epa- The reasoning of your fathers death, was to help you along your quest. Make you free of your mind, and free of your heart.

Bolton- No! I couldint be because of that. Their has to be more. I still care for him. I still care for Loak.

Epa-You asked, and I told you. You can either accept the truth, or deny it. Either way, you must go your way. Your way is going to be rough.,. Your path is going to take you places no man has seen. You'll run into things no monster could kill. You, Bolton Banner, are ment for more on this planet then you could ever amagine..
