Webisode 5 - The Bane

INT. A VAST CHAMBER

A bald MAN with gruesome scars on his face is sitting on his throne seat and listening to a group of four thugs behind him in a grimy room.

THUG 1

(quivers)

Quarter two to seven were burned and 119 lives were killed. All of the captives in room four to eight have been set free. The mini missiles and other armaments in Store five have been completely destroyed, as well as the drugs and bio chemical weapons in Lab nine and ten.

BALD MAN

(calm but mean)

And he is still running amok?

THUG 1

We are trying our best to nail him down.

But Lynx is helping him...

BALD MAN

Then?

THUG 1

This is very difficult.

He is Batman. He has all those amazing powers that foil each and every of our plans. He is like ghost, appearing and vanishing into thin air without a trace.

Bald Man rotates his seat to address to the thugs.

BALD MAN

(points a revolver at Thug 1's forehead)

Your best isn't good enough.

And adoring the enemy is prohibited.

He fires. A stream of hot blood bursts out from his back before he drops death to the ground. The others are shocked and in terrible fear. Bald Man stands and smacks the table viciously.

BALD MAN

(Grabs the collar of one of the thugs and brings him right to his face)

If Olama returns and knows about it, none of us will see the tomorrow sunlight.

And now, I don't care what you gonna do and how much it gonna cost, you've better get me the batman; live or dead!

He throws him to the ground. The other two thugs assist him to his feet and exit the room briskly and timidly.

Bald Man sits back on his throne and spells the name of Batman in anger. A dark silhouette with a pair of glowing eyes appears behind him ghastly. Bald Man rolls his eyes slightly, aware of the present of the unwelcome guest. .

BATMAN

(harshly)

Looking for me?

Bald Man whirls in spontaneously and uploads his weaponry on the figure madly.

BALD MAN

Go to hell!!!

Bald man stops as he runs out of bullets. He sees no one. A flow of chill runs across his nerve. He feels the fear is nearby. All of a sudden, a strong hand snatches his wrist and twists it behind his back and nails him down to the table. Bald Man cries out loud as his hand is breaking.

BATMAN

I say only once. Where is Olama?

BALD MAN

He is out for business...

Batman breaks his arm. Bald Man cries and drops to the floor. Batman ignores the cry. He grabs on his collar and presses his head on the table. He lifts up his massive knuckle and clutches it noisily, ready to launch a powerful blow to him.

BATMAN

(cool and mean)

I count until three...

One...

(Bald Man's eyes full of tears and fear)

Two...

(Bald Man trembles badly)



THREE!!!

BALD MAN

He will be back tonight and his room is right at the end of the hallway behind this hidden door of your left.

BATMAN

Thank you.

You might join the majority now.

He shoots down his powerful blow in a thud.

INT. OLAMA'S CHAMBER

The massive door is shoved opened and sneaks in the dark crusader silently. The light is on suddenly. Batman turns around and sees a Thin Man under the spot light, sitting on an exclusive chair gracefully, waiting for his arrival. He is exquisite in his perfectly tailored suit. He is Olama. Standing next to him is a normal built Man. He was once Bane.

OLAMA

I have been expecting you, Batman.

BATMAN

Antonio Diego? You escaped from Blackgate? You work for Olama now?

BANE

Antonio Diego? What an ancient name. I'm called the Bane!

BATMAN

Right, the Bane, the insane and destructive giant that once wouldn't bow to anyone but right now wagging his tail to the terrorist!

OLAMA

It's because he saw our vision.

The world is full of injustice and inequity.

The strongs abuse the weaks, the riches exploit the poors.

Batman, with your individual effort you can't make miracle.

Join us, Batman. We can right the wrong, and stop the brutality.

BATMAN

This is the biggest bullshit I'd heard.

The terrorist is actually the liberalist and he works for world peace.

OLAMA

I've almost forgotten. Bats are blind and they can't see.

He is now yours, Bane.

BANE

(stitches a syringe in his neck)

Batman...

Let's play.

He grins, exhilarated. His thin frame begins to bulk up incredibly fast. Muscles in his legs, arms, chest and shoulders increase to mammoth proportions, returning Bane to his shape of old.

Bane begins his attack furiously. Batman dodges and retreats by each of his powerful blows.

OLAMA

Get him into the cell; he then will have no room to escape!

Batman leaps over to snatch Olama, but Bane catches his leg and spins him to the sidewall. Batman somersaults to reduce the momentum and lands on ground safely. Bane comes on right away. Batman has no choice but to retreat into the cell behind him.

In such a constrain, Batman has to confront Bane to his face. He crosses his hands in front of him and blocks the vigorous punch. Another hard blow comes from the side and hits on his face, sending him to ground. Bane charges in again, giving a powerful blow on the laid-down Batman. Batman rolls over in the nick of time and the punch makes a sizable crater in the ground. He grabs from underneath the charging Bane and forcefully shoots his body into the wall in a resounding crash. Bane takes in the pain wholly and immediately gives a violent elbow-hit into his back. Batman cries in pain and falls to the ground. Bane seizes on his neck and takes him tangling in the air. Batman chokes and groans in pain.

Olama stands outside the cell, watches Batman suffering in steer delight.

OLAMA

(in frenzy)

Yes, kill him! Kill him!

Ha... ha... ha...

Batman grabs on bane's arms helplessly, trying to break his clutch on his neck. He is getting suffocated to his death. He violently shoots up his legs and hits hard on Bane's groin. Bane drops Batman and covers his groin and shouts in pain. Batman instantly sweeps his leg and trips Bane to the floor. He takes no time to project a powerbomb elbow-crash into his chest. Almost immediately, he rolls over to his head and smashes both of his ferocious knuckles into both sides of his head, knocking him brutally.

Batman stands up heroically and faces Olama harshly. Bane slumps on ground and groans in pain.

BATMAN

(in mad)

Now it's you turn!

OLAMA

(still in calm)

Just not yet...

He hits a button on the device in his hand. A large clunk of concrete slab with spiky protrusions falls toward Batman. Batman catches it valiantly. But it is just too massive and heavy. It slowly brings Batman down to his kneels.

BANE

(bitten and weak. He extends out his hand for help)

Help me, Olama. The slab will kill me too.

OLAMA

(contemptuous)

You are worthless to me now.

BANE

(eyes widen with fear)

But I've done so many things for you.

OLAMA

(grins mockingly)

I appreciated that.

But you failed to kill Batman and your solution...

Is dead.

BATMAN

(holding the slab in anguish and shouting to Bane)

Get out, now! I can't hold any longer!



Olama picks a sharp wooden stick from the table. He pokes it into the chest of Batman.

Batman cries in excruciating pain as Olama twists the stick slowly and stabs it further into his chest...

Olama's cynical laugher reverberates in the air...
