A Certain Flare
(ESTABLISHING SHOT – An alleyway. SYD, riding her motorcycle, which is orange with several different splotches (think like the Go Jet) of purple on it, speeds through. She is wearing a suit similar to SHEGO'S, only purple where the black is and orange where the green is. Another addition is, she's got a belt that's styled like the one KIM wears in DRAKKEN'S lair in Tick-tick-tick. SYD zooms down to a river dock and gets off of the motorbike.)
SYD: It's quiet.
(She's surrounded by several HENCHMEN)
SYD: ....Not anymore. OK, boys, the hurt is ON!
(SYD flares her hands and her eyes glow, making her look very demonic.)
SYD: Hope y'all like third-degree burns.
(The HENCHMEN raise their laser-guns)
SYD: You guys actually think a laser's going to faze me?
(SYD fires one of her firebeams at one HENCHMAN'S gun. It melts. SYD unflares her hands)
SYD: Heh. Thought you could actually beat me.
HENCHMAN 2: The fight's not over yet, girl.
(SYD jumps on top of two crates which are stacked together)
SYD: (triumphant laugh) You're right. It's not over 'til the henchmen fry.
HENCHMAN 3: Why you little....
(The HENCHMEN fire their lasers. Once the smoke clears, SYD is gone.)
HENCHMAN 6: Yeah, we got her!
HENCHMAN 12: She's gone!
HENCHMAN 13: Is she, boys?
HENCHMAN 1: Hold it....there are only twelve henchmen.
SYD: (ripping off HENCHMAN 13 disguise) Twelve Henchmen. Sounds like either a cult or a movie title. I can't decide.
HENCHMAN 12: Hold it. How did you...
SYD: Oh, you mean, how did I...
(The dock gives way under the HENCHMEN)
SYD: (unsheathing claws, said to herself) The same way I did that.
(SYD heads off. She spots some warehouses, and pulls out the Sydstem)
WADE: Warehouse 54, SYD.
SYD: Thanks, man.
WADE: (thumbs up) Good luck, girl.
SYD: Double thanks.
(SYD clicks off, putting the Sydstem in her jacket pocket. She enters the warehouse)
SYD: ....I wonder if I could call in a favor and get the Trading Spaces crew over here.
(SYD spots DES)
SYD: DES! Oh God! (runs over to her)
MAN: (in shadows) Don't touch her.
SYD: W-who are you? What did you do to my sister?!
MAN: (shrugs) I decided to finish the job.
SYD: Wh-what job?
MAN: (steps out from the shadows. It is DEMENTOR)
SYD: Who are you?
DEMENTOR: I am PROFESSOR DEMENTOR.
SYD: How do you know my sister?
DEMENTOR: I was the one that installed the virus onto her main computer system...the one that controlled her health.
SYD: What?
DEMENTOR: You see, I wanted to stop you two from being created, or at least from being immortal.
SYD: But we're not imm-...
DEMENTOR: Oh, I did some research. (he pulls a small black chip from his pocket)
SYD: Wh-what's...
DEMENTOR: It's a deactivation chip. Should I choose to use it on you, you'd be dead in thirty minutes flat. No joke.
SYD: Just stay back.
DEMENTOR: You have three choices. Take your sister and leave, just leave, or die.
SYD: (acidly) My sister is not dead.
(SYD takes DES and leaves.)
(ESTABLISHING SHOT – Hospital. DES is unconscious. SYD sits, waiting for DES to wake up. She pulls out the Sydstem and decides to call JESSIE)
JESSIE: (Answering) Hello?
SYD: Uh, AUNT JESSIE?
JESSIE: SYD? Is everything OK?
SYD: Uh...not...exactly....
JESSIE: Oh God. Is DES okay?
SYD: She's unconscious....
JESSIE: WHAT?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!
SYD: Y'know how DES was nearly dead when we found her? Well, I took her to the hospital, and while I was getting some coffee, somebody took her...WADE saw it on the security cameras...I found her, she's barely alive though...
JESSIE: WHY ON EARTH DID YOU LEAVE HER ALONE?!
SYD: I...I wasn't...thinking...
JESSIE: OF COURSE YOU WEREN'T! ARH! (hangs up)
DES: (coughs)
SYD: (looks at DES)
DES: (Opens her eyes) Arh...
SYD: DES! You're alive.
DES: (nods)
SYD: RON's been worried about you.
DES: That idiot's worried?
SYD: (nods)
DES: Arh...just what I need....
RON: (walks in) Hey, DES.
(DES just looks down at her hands, which also have metal cuticles. DES gasps)
