Part 2

(citizens are going about their everyday work in Yewbell, oblivious to the happenings in the forest. Then suddenly, one of the people turns around. Picking up a piece of twig, he starts beating a woman around the head with it)

WOMAN: Hey! What the hell do you think your doing

MAN: (Silence)

(an audience gathers around)

WOMAN: Stop it! Do you realise how stupid hitting people around the head with a twig is?

(The twig breaks)

(Kharg runs up, Paulette just behind)

KHARG: What's going on?

WOMAN: That man just started hitting me with a stick

PAULETTE: A stick? Is this some sort of lame joke?

WOMAN: No! (Turns to Kharg) commander, do something.

KHARG: (Takes hold of mans arm)

MAN: (Starts attacking Kharg with the snapped twig)

KHARG: Hmmm, trouble maker huh.

MAN: (falls limp)

PAULETTE: What's going on?

KHARG: (looks thoughtful, and drops the man) I'm not entirely sure Paulette, but it looks to me like some kind of magic.

PAULETTE: Magic?

KHARG: (nods) That's right. I think we better have a word with Darc about this.

MEANWHILE, HIDING AMONG A LOAD OF BARRELS

VOICE: Well done, my puppet. That was indeed, a spectacular performance

BEBEDORA: What? A man hitting a woman with a twig? I could do better.

VOICE: That is not the point. The point is you made him believe he could kill the woman with a flimsy bit of twig

BEBEDORA: Not really. I merely told him to kill her. The twig was the nearest thing with a sharp point.

VOICE: The point is, you can control these measly humans.

BEBEDORA: Of course. I am a puppet. Created with power. Designed to take over the world. If I could not control a feeble minded human, how would I ever achieve anything?

VOICE: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BEBEDORA: Are you my enemy?
