Witch: I curse this land! Everybody in this land shall be born to kill each other. Everybody born in this land shall be forever doomed to stay here! Everybody in this land shall die!
Effect: Fires swarm around her and she gets trapped inside of a grey stone.
Setting: 100 years later, same place
Janet: *puts her hand on her stomach* It's for the better of both of us that I do this, my child, Darien.
Effect: Janet jumps off a cliff
Hans: No! Janet, we could have found a different way.
Narration: 20 years have passed since that witch casted a devastating curse on this land, the curse of fighting. Ever since then, people were born with what is called their soul weapon. Their soul weapons are weapons that are created from their own soul energy. If the weapon is destroyed, the human dies with it. If the human died, the weapon leaves the body and finds a new human soul to feed off of. Because of these weapons, wars break out and thousands die each day. Along with these weapons, come extraordinary abilities, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, elemental manipulation, super strength, and everything in between. Will this land ever be cured of such a burden?
Setting: Not too long after Janet jumped off the cliff
Hans: Janet, wake up.
Effect: Janet awakens from her sleep
Janet: What! Why am I still alive!?
Hans: Something amazing happened. Before you hit the rocks, something inside of you was forcing you away from the rocks. It was Darien.
Janet: *tears start to form* So even close to death my Darien still longs to live.
Hans: He's a fighter, you went through a long 7 day coma.
Janet: *touches her stomach* *gasp* Where's my Darien?!
Hans: It was too late when we found you. He was gone.
Janet: *crying* No! He's not dead! He's still here! I know it!
Hans: I'm sorry Janet, he's not here anymore.
Effect: Ground starts to shake making the whole hospital shake
Hans: If you don't control it, you're going to kill everybody here.
Janet: *wipes her tears* I'm going to search for my Darien.
Hans: It's no use, he's dead! Just get that into your head! He's dead!
Janet: You are not the Hans that I used to know. The Hans that I knew was loving man. He would never say such things.
Hans: Maybe the Hans you know is dead. When you jumped off that cliff, you lost more than Darien, you lost me. *stands up and walks away*
Janet: Wait, Hans!
Effect: Door opens and closes as he walks out
Nurse: Ms. Janet, are you awake.
Janet: Yes.
Nurse: It's time for your medicine.
Janet: I'm okay now. I must go find my Darien!
Nurse: You must rest first. If you don't rest, your baby will be forever scared.
Janet: What?
Nurse: You are pregnant aren't you?
Janet: Hans told me that he's gone.
Nurse: Hans? You must be having amnesia. Hans has been dead for 5 years now.
Janet: What?
Nurse: Yes, the brave soldier Hans who was sadly murdered by his own brother.
Janet: But Hans was right here just a few minutes ago.
Nurse: Alright, you're really starting to scare me. Let's just give you your medicine and you'll be back to normal.
Janet: Is my Darien still here?!
Nurse: Why don't you feel for yourself?
Janet: *touches her stomach*
Nurse: See, your baby is fine. But you really need to take your medicine.
Janet: This is all fake isn't it?
Nurse: What are you talking about now.
Janet: This whole world, it's the doing of Hans' brother.
Nurse: So you finally figured out. *smirks*
Janet: Nobody can trick me. I have my Darien to prove if it's real or not.
Nurse: So how did you figure it out?
Janet: My Darien is already born. He's 4 years old. Don't try to trick me with facts that aren't real.
Nurse: I guess I did get my facts wrong. How could I get it wrong? He's my nephew after all.
Janet: Heath! Get out of my head.
Heath: It's so easy to get in though. It's like walking through an open door. You've really become weak after not fighting for so long.
Darien: Mommy, mommy wake up!
Heath: Darn it, that brat is the only thing that I can't get inside of.
Effect: A golden bow appears in Janet's hands
Janet: This shot is for Darien.
Effect: An arrow appears in her hand and she shoots it creating an explosion.
Setting: Not in Janet's head
Darien: Mommy, are you okay?
Janet: Yes, there was something evil inside of me but it's out now.
Darien: I was scared, you just suddenly collapsed.
Janet: Mommy will try harder not to do such things anymore. *puts her hand on Darien's head*
Heath: Don't think this is over, Janet. I will come back for your son eventually. Just like how I came for your husband.
Darien: Mommy, promise me that you'll always be here for me.
Janet: I promise.
Setting: 11 years later, some school
Ruth: Oh mi gosh! We're in the same class again, Darien!
Darien: What a surprise. Considering there are only 17 people in our grade.
Ruth: Well I think you should be happy that you're in my class.
Darien: I've been in your class for the past 11 years. Nothing's changed.
Alex: Shapa!
Darien: Oh gosh, Alex is here.
Effect: Alex does a whole bunch of flips and ends up next to them
Alex: I probably shouldn't be bother you two while you're having your alone time together.
Ruth: Why would you say such things?
Alex: I say it because it's true.
Darien: Remind me to kill you later.
Alex: Now if you don't mind, I must go spread rumors now! *shoots our a random string from his hand and jumps away*
Ruth: Obviously he hasn't changed much either.
Darien: Obviously.
Leah: Well if it isn't the two love birds.
Ruth: What did you just say? *clenches fist*
Paajci: Leah, you promised that you'd be nice to everybody his year. *_*
Leah: Yeah, well, maybe I lied. It's in my nature to do so.
Paajci: That's crazy. *waves hand*
Leah: We'll leave you two alone now. *devil wings grow out of her back and she flies away*
Paajci: I'm sorry about her, she's going to puberty. *angel wings grow out of her back and she flies away*
Effect: Angel feathers are left behind.
Darien: You know it's said that if you give an angel feather to the person you love, the two of you will be forever bound together.
Ruth: That's a nice story to hear I guess.
Leah: Did it work?
Paajci: I'm not sure. Did I not leave enough angel feathers?
Alex: I'm sure it's enough feathers.
Leah: How are you flying?!
Alex: I don't actually know. *starts falling*
Effect: Leah and Paajci catch him and pull him into a classroom as they go in too
Leah: Jeez, what would you do without us?
Paajci: You nearly died there.
Alex: No, I'm finally able to bring out my soul weapon freely now.
Paajci: Really! I'm so jealous!
Leah: Yeah! What is it?
Alex: I think the elders called it the golden chain and blade or something.
Paajci: Show us!
Alex: I can't completely control it yet. If I take it out now, I might destroy the whole school.
Leah: I'm still jealous. *_*
Teacher: Alright, we have to start class now. Let's see how many people we have this year. Worst than last year, we only have 24 people. I guess we'll have to do another mass class this year. You all have to encourage your friends to come to school more often. I understand the curse and all, but where do you all plan to be if you don't have a proper education?
Leah: Another lecture?
Paajci: I actually quite enjoy these lectures.
Ruth: Classes are so boring.
Darien: Agreed.
Alex: Let's ditch.
Darien: And how do you suppose we do this without him noticing?
Alex: With a friend who's name starts with a Paa and ends with a ci.
Darien: You want to use her? How black hearted. She's an angel.
Alex: Well, it is said that angel feathers can grant wishes. *reaches and plucks a feather off*
Paajci: Ouchies!
Alex: I wish that the teacher didn't know we left.
Teacher: Continuing with class now.
Alex: Did it work?
Darien: I don't know, why don't you test it out?
Alex: *gets up and walks out the door*
Ruth: He didn't notice!
Leah: Let's get out of here!
Effect: Everybody walks out of the classroom.
Darien: What a relief. I'm so happy that I don't have to sit in there again for another year.
Leah: Seriously, he always talks about getting a proper education, but he doesn't even teach us.
Paajci: That was so mean! We should go back and apologize.
Leah: Apologize for what? He won't even know that we're gone.
Ruth: Let's go down to the creek. I want to show you all something.
Alex: Is it a cat! I've always wanted a cat!
Ruth: It's not a cat. *_*
Alex: Aw.
Darien: I want a cat too!
Ruth: We're all not going to get cats!
Paajci: Can I have a cat.
Leah: if she gets one, then I get one!
Ruth: Okay yeah, there is litter of cats down by the creek.
Everybody: Yay! *start running towards the creek*
Ruth: Wow, they fell for it.
Setting: Down by the old creek
Alex: I don't see any cats!
Paajci: You lied!
Leah: Yeah!
Darien: Where's my cat. I'm going to name it Mr. Mittens.
Ruth: I already told you all that you're all not getting cats.
Leah: So you mean that only a couple of us get cats.
Alex: I vote that Darien doesn't get a cat!
Paajci and Leah: Me too!
Darien: What!
Alex: Then it's settled. We all get cats except for Darien:
Ruth: Will everybody just shut up for a little bit!
Everybody: *looks at Ruth*
Ruth: I took you all down here so I could show you my weapon.
Alex: You got your weapon too!
Ruth: Wait, you have yours?
Alex: Yeah! It happened last week when I went to the apple orchard out of town with my family.
Ruth: Well, it's probably not nearly as awesome as my weapons.
Alex: Then show us!
Ruth: Alright then. Just don't get blinded by the awesomeness. *does all this flashy stuff and gloves appear on her hands*
Darien: Is that all you have?
Leah: Gloves?
Paajci: I think it could be useful if you use it correctly.
Ruth: You all know my power right, energy manipulation? Well, this pretty much just makes my power way stronger and stuff.
Alex: How simple.
Ruth: *starts charging and her hands starts to glow* Punches a tree*
Effect: The tree explodes and all the parts fly everywhere
Everybody: Whoa!
Darien: That's amazing!
Alex: My turn!
Effect: A whole bunch of chains with blades at the ends fly out of Alex's back
Alex: These are my chains and blades.
Darien: Wow! They're so shiny!
Paajci: Can we touch them?
Alex: I wouldn't, they're extremely sharp and indestructible.
Leah: The light! It burns!
Ruth: Can it beat my gloves though?
Alex: I'm sure it can.
Darien: You two should fight and see who wins!
Paajci: No! Never fight! Fights are what break up friendships!
Darien: It's just going to be a friendly battle.
Paajci: No! All of you must promise me that you'll never fight each other. I've had too much fighting in my past to allow more of my friends to die because of fights.
Leah: If you feel that strongly about it.
Alex: Yeah, I don't exactly know how to use these chains. They just sort of fly out of my back and stab into random objects.
Effect: The chains go back into his back
Ruth: I don't really want to use my gloves yet anyways. They're still new so I want to preserve them as long as I can.
Paajci: Thanks everybody.
Setting: Some random part of town
Alex: Have you guys heard of the murderer guy?
Leah: Murderer?
Ruth: I've heard of him.
Darien: Yeah, doesn't he go around while people sleep and choke them to death?
Alex: Yeah, sounds scary, doesn't it?
Paajci: I'm sure that nobody would do such a thing.
Darien: Try telling that to him.
Paajci: Well, maybe we should pay him a visit and tell him that what he's doing is wrong.
Alex: And where do you suppose we find a killer?
Paajci: Obviously if he was such a murderer, he would follow our bait.
Ruth: You're not suggesting that we lure him out, are you?
Paajci: Oh that's exactly my plan.
Alex: How dark. Who should we use as bait?
Leah: I vote Darien.
Alex: So it's settled. Now Darien doesn't get a cat and he has to be the bait of a killer.
Darien: Why am I always the person who is left out?
Ruth: Just think of it as being special.
Setting: Night time at Darien's house
Darien: What if this doesn't even work?
Alex: I think you should be more worried if he actually does come.
Darien: How is he going to know that our house is the one to go to?
Leah: We left a sign out.
Sign: Killer come over here! Darien wants to die!
Darien: I'm going to die tonight aren't I?
Paajci: Don't think of it that way. Think of it as passing onto the next land of eternal life.
Darien: That still means I'm going to die.
Ruth: Shhhh, I think he's coming in.
Effect: Door creeks open
Alex: He looks like a ghost!
Paajci: Maybe he is a ghost.
Leah: If he touches me, I'm totally suing.
Dark shadow: Who is this Darien that I hear of?
Leah: Psst! Over here!
Dark shadow: So there will be more than one victim tonight?
Paajci: *turns on the lights* What you're your doing is wrong!
Dark shadow: Gah!!
Paajci: You should stop killing people!
Dark shadow: I'm not the killer! He is. *points over at the door*
Killer: Looks like I'll have a lot of fun tonight. *closes door*
Everybody: *screaming and running in circles*
Killer: You know why I'm able to kill people so quietly?
Leah: Please do tell us.
Killer: I can control sound. All of these screams are muffled through my ability.
Paajci: You should really stop killing people. This is a bad habit that if you don't recognize, then it will get out of hand.
Killer: I don't care about it getting out of hand. I'm just going to keep on killing and nobody can stop me.
Alex: Not if I has something to say about it.
Darien: I don't think this is the place to be talking boldly.
Alex: I need to have my time to talk though. Through the past 2 pages, I haven't said a single thing!
Darien: Maybe it just means that you're a less important character then.
Alex: Maybe it means that I'm going to survive through the night.
Effect: A sickle swipes down and almost cuts of Darien's head
Alex: What did I tell you?
Darien: This guy is for realz! We gotz to getz outz ofz herez!
Ruth: What's with all the "z"'s at the ends of your words?
Darien: I don't know. It's called art of language.
Alex: Let's just hurry and get out.
Dark shadow: Not so fast. He may be able to control sounds, but I can control light.
Leah: What relevance does that have with any of this?
Dark shadow: Darkness!
Effect: The whole room goes dark.
Paajci: Great, now none of us can see and we're all going to die.
Leah: This has been a nice life. I hope to be something more simplistic in my next life. I want to be a butterfly in my next life. Then I can control the butterfly effect.
Killer: Don't think that any of you are going to get away tonight. After you hear my voice, I must kill you.
Darien: Shadow guy, can you just turn the lights back on.
Killer: I agree, this darkness just makes my job unbearable.
Effect: Light go back on
Killer: That's better.
Darien: Thank you.
Paajci: Now where were we again/
Killer: Um, let's look at the script. Oh I found it, we're at the part where you're all screaming because I'm about to kill you.
Paajci: Should we practice the other part again? I think it was a little bit rushed.
Alex: Yeah, you totally forgot your que after the 5th bar.
Killer: You know this is the first time that I've read the script. It's not my fault!
Ruth: I'm sorry, this just isn't working out. We're going to have to let you go.
Paajci: Yeah, you just aren't good enough for this job.
Killer: I could have been a dentist or a lawyer but did I? No, I had to be a big shot and work as an actor. Jeez I hate this world!
Leah: That was interesting. You think he's going to stop killing people now?
Paajci: We can only hope so. I think we scarred him for life after this run through.
Darien: Wait, was this all a set-up?
Ruth: No, we were for real and he was really going to kill us.
Darien: So was it real or not.
Paajci: It wasn't real at first, but then we started to really get into it. So we secretly gave him a script while you weren't paying attention and it just sort of built off from there.
Dark shadow: And I'm the random guy.
Alex: I think you can leave now too.
Dark shadow: Aw, okay.
Narrator: As the kids laughed about it through the night, a greater evil was among them. Something that was closer than they had all imagined. Their friendship shall keep them strong. No weapon or ability could ever break that.
