Act II: Scene 79
Location: Rebel Headquarters, Strategy Room
*Princess Ariel is sitting at an old table, going over various maps of the area. She looks something up in a book and then goes back to the maps. The room is filled with lit candles, illuminating the darkness with their flickering glow. Thundarr enters the room, holding a wooden bowl of steaming hot stew. Ariel's back is turned to him, and she's so wrapped up in her work that she doesn't even hear him come in. He walks up behind her and places a hand gently on her shoulder. Ariel jumps in surprise.*
Thundarr: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
Ariel: You shouldn't sneak up on me like that! I could have used my magic against you!
Thundarr: I thought you could use something to eat. You've been cooped up in here all day.
Ariel: Thanks, but I'm not hungry.
Thundarr: What are you doing?
Ariel: I'm trying to figure out where The City Of Sea Hawks is located. It sounds so familiar, but I can't seem to find it.
Thundarr: Why don't you take a break? Get some rest, have some food. Come back later with a fresh outlook.
Ariel: There's too much at stake. This weapon could mean the difference between success and failure. Of freeing my people and dooming them to an eternity of slavery.
Thundarr: All the more reason to take a break. You're no good to anyone half dead from exhaustion.
*Thundarr places his hands on Ariel's shoulders and begins to massage them. Ariel closes her eyes and allows her head to droop as the relaxation flows through her. Then she stiffens up and shrugs Thundarr's hands off.*
Ariel: No! I have to keep working!
*Thundarr grabs her by the shoulders and looks her square in the eyes.*
Thundarr: No. You have to rest!
*Thundarr and Ariel stand there for a moment, staring into each others eyes. They move closer together, subtly at first, so that they barely realize that they're moving at all. Ariel gently places her hands upon Thundarr's broad chest. Then before they even realize what is happening, they kiss. Their arms are wrapped around each other, locked in a passionate embrace. After a minute of sharing the most passionate kiss either of them could imagine, Thundarr untangles himself from Ariel's embrace and steps back.*
Thundarr: No! We can't!
Ariel: Why not?
Thundarr: It isn't right. I am a barbarian from the Wild North. You are a sorceress, a princess to a great kingdom.
Ariel: So? The great kingdom I knew and loved is dead and gone. Even if we defeat my stepfather, I doubt I will ever get it back.
Thundarr: But you deserve the chance to try.
Ariel: And why can't you try with me? Be by my side as we rebuild?
Thundarr: I am a barbarian. My place is in the wild, not behind city walls. Ever will I feel like a prisoner if I were to stay by your side in civilized lands.
Ariel: Then I will travel with you! Wild and free!
Thundarr: You will never be content with such a life.
Ariel: Let me be the one to make that decision. (She places her hands on Thundarr's chest once more) Remember when you asked me why I rescued you and Ookla from the dungeons?
Thundarr: Aye. You said you needed our help surviving in The Wild Lands.
Ariel: (Moving closer) Then you asked me if that was the only reason.
Thundarr: Aye?
Ariel: (Pulling Thundarr's face close to hers) It wasn't.
Act II: Scent 80
*Ariel kisses Thundarr again. This time he doesn't pull away. He wraps her tightly with his muscular arms. She pulls at Thundarr's fur vest, sliding it down his arms until it slips to the floor. Thundarr unbuttons the collar of Ariel's halter dress, letting the top of the dress slip down to her waist, exposing her breasts. Ariel unbuckles Thundarr's belt and tosses the garment aside. She unties the drawstring to his fur loincloth and pushes the item down to his ankles. Thundarr slips Ariel's dress down over her hips, letting it fall to the floor.*
Act II: Scene 81
*Thundarr and Princess Ariel make love to each other on a bed of furs. Scene is a musical montage, as they writhe together on the bed. Their naked bodies glisten in the candlelight, as sweat drips down their skin. They make love in a variety of positions, including "Missionary", "Cowgirl", and "Doggy-style". They nibble on each others nipples. Thundarr performs cunnilingus on Ariel. They climax simultaneously, collapsing in a lover's embrace. They fall asleep, their sweaty bodies entwined with one another, Ariel using Thundarr's shoulder as a pillow.*
Act II: Scene 82
Location: Kingdom Of Couver, Royal Meeting Hall in The Royal Palace
*Sabian is sitting in his throne, reading over scrolls which are being presented to him by human servants. A scantily clad slave girl fans him with a large feathered fan, while another slave girl feeds him grapes. His queen sits on her throne, her face frozen in a mask of non-expression. A pig-mutant soldier runs into the Audience Hall and kneels before the wizard.*
Sabian: Well? What is it?
Pig-Mutant: 'Tis the mercenary you requested, Sire! The one who should be capable of retrieving your stepdaughter from the barbarian called Thundarr!
Sabian: Really, now? Well? Show him in!
*The pig-mutant motions to other guards in the doorway. Two other guards escort a large muscular human into the Royal Meeting Hall. He is dressed in heavy furs. His hair is long, black, stringy, and filthy. His face is hidden behind a thick, greasy black beard. He has a steel helmet on his head, with a half dozen curved animal horns set in the rim. He's carrying a large and heavy battle ax. Shaft of the ax is steel, with lights set along its length. He stops before Sabian's throne, setting the head of the ax on the floor and places his hands upon its butt. The pig-mutants dip into low bows, while the barbarian simply nods his head. *
Pig-Mutant: Imputant oaf! Bow down before your king!
Zogarr: He is no king of Zogarr's, filthy swine!
Sabian: And who are you?
Zogarr:I am Zogarr, the barbarian!
Sabian: And what makes you feel you are capable of finding my wayward step-daughter?
Zogarr: I can track a falcon on a cloudy day! I'm sure I can find your wench!
Sabian: And what are your chances of defeating the barbarian and the mok she escaped with?
Zogarr: What barbarian?
Sabian: A young barbarian named Thundarr and a mok named Ookla.
Zogarr: Never heard of 'em!
Sabian: The two of them bested an entire team of my mutant soldiers, who were being assisted by a full squad of battle droids!
Zogarr: Bah! I could defeat such odds myself!
Sabian: That, is something I would like to see.
Zogarr: Is that a challenge?
Sabian: It is.
Act II: Scene 83
*Sabian motions to the two pig-mutants that accompanied Zogarr into the meeting hall, as well as the two guards that flank his throne, and the one that announced him. Zogarr raises his ax in a ready position. He twists a knob on the butt of the ax handle. The lights along the shaft light up. The ax head begins to glow, and ribbons of energy roll over the blades. Four of the pig-mutants are wielding halberds, the fifth draws a broadsword. The first mutant thrusts his sword at Zogarr. The barbarian parries it with the shaft of his battle ax, then lops its head off. Another mutant swung its halberd at Zogarr. The barbarian cuts the shaft of the halberd just below its head, then slashes the mutant across the gut, disemboweling it. Zogarr ducks under a halberd as a mutant swings it at his head, nearly hitting another guard. The second guard barely gets his own halberd up in time to keep from being killed. Zogarr cuts the heads off of both guards with a single stroke. The mutant thrusts its halberd at Zogarr's chest. Zogarr sidesteps the attach and cuts the head of the weapon off of the halberd. He swings at the mutant, who ducks out of the way of the ax and draws its sword. It swings at Zogarr, who parries it with his ax. Zogarr retaliates with his ax. The mutant tries to parry with its sword, but the blade shatters as it collides with the barbarian's ax. Zogarr cuts the mutant's arm off at the shoulder. The mutant squeals in agony. Zogarr then cuts into the mutant's leg, chopping it off at the knee. The mutant collapses to the floor, its lifes blood spilling onto the flagstones. Zogarr then puts the mutant out of its misery, burying his ax into its chest. Zogarr then stands before Sabian, shuts off the Energy Ax, and waits patiently for a reaction.*
Act II: Scene 84
*Sabian looks about at the carnage left on his Royal Audience Hall floor.*
Sabian: Impressive.
Zogarr: Do I get the job?
Sabian: Aye, you have the job. But remember, my stepdaughter is to be returned to me alive! Unharmed, and unspoiled! Understood?
Zogarr: As you wish. But you had better have enough treasure to satisfy me, Wizard!
Sabian: You'll get your treasure, barbarian. You'll get it, and a whole lot more.
Zogarr: Then we have a contract. Ware not to try and break it, wizard, unless you wish your own blood to stain my ax.
Sabian: Don't bare your teeth at me, barbarian! Your skills, impressive as they are, are no match for my magic! Remember that!
Zogarr: Very well.
Act II: Scene 85
*Zogarr turns on his heel and stomps out of The Royal Audience Hall. Mutant guards stand clear of the barbarian as he strides from the palace. Tethered in the palace courtyard is Zogarr's horse. It's a great black stallion with white mane and tail. There's a white stripe running up the beast's nose in the shape of a lightning bolt. Zogarr mounts his horse with practiced ease.*
Zogarr: Come, Hurricane! We have a date with a princess. Hah!
Act II: Scene 86
*Zogarr rides off on his horse, Hurricane. The wizard, Sabian, stands on the palace balcony with his wife, the queen, and watches as the barbarian disappears into the distance. When the barbarian is no longer in sight, Sabian turns and goes back inside the palace. Queen Lee stands there watching a moment longer. As usual, her face is an emotionless mask. All except for one single tear, rolling down her cheek. *
Act II: Scene 87
Location: Rebel Base, in The War Room
*Thundarr and Ariel are lying in bed together, their sweaty naked bodies entwined in a lover's embrace. Ariel rests her head against Thundarr's muscular chest, her face the embodiment of contentment. She rolls over onto her side, so that she is facing away from Thundarr. The barbarian rolls over as well, so that the two of them are now spooning with each other. Thundarr drapes his arm over the sorceress, soliciting a smile from the princess. She opens up her eyes and looks at the table next to the bed. Sitting on the small table is an ancient magazine from before The Cataclysm. It's worn and faded, but you can still make out the title "Sports Illustrated" on the cover. Pictured on the cover is a muscular man carrying an egg shaped ball. He has blonde hair, which has been dyed green and blue on the sides. The caption next to the picture reads "The Boz Talks About His Retirement From The Seahawks". Princess Ariel immediately sits up. She grabs the ancient magazine and flips through the pages until she comes upon the interview advertised on the cover. After a moment of skimming through the pages, she practically leaps out of bed.*
Ariel: Of course!
Act II: Scene 88
*Thundarr raises his head, still half asleep.*
Thundarr: Huh? What?
*Ariel takes the magazine over to the main table where all of the maps and papers are laid out.*
Ariel: All this time I've been looking for a city called Seahawks. What I should have been looking for is a city with a connection to seahawks.
Thundarr: I don't understand.
*Ariel starts pouring through various maps. Some new hand drawn maps, others ancient mass produced maps.*
Ariel: Back in the days of Old Earth, people used to play all sorts of games. Many cities would compete against each other to see who's team was the best. One of these games was called football.
Thundarr: Foot . . . Ball?
Ariel: It was a game where two teams of men would strap on protective gear, then fight each other for possession of a ball that's about the size and shape of an equart egg. Then they would try and carry it into the other team's scoring area. The team that got the ball into the other team's scoring area the most times within a specified amount of time, wins.
Thundarr: We played a very similar game in my tribe when I was a boy. Only we used a wolf's skull, and the object of the game was to place the skull upon a wooden stake driven into the ground. Also, we wore no . . . protective gear.
Ariel: It was probably loosely based on football. Anyway, every city would give their team a different name, typically named after an animal.
Thundarr: Animals?
Ariel: Yes. To symbolize ferocity, they would choose animals which are renown predators, such as lions, or tigers, or bears. To symbolize determination, they would choose herd animals which are renown for their strength and endurance, like rams, or bulls, or elks. And to symbolize grace, they would choose birds of prey. Such as . . .
Thundarr: Seahawks!
Ariel: Exactly! And according to this ancient sports book, the city which named its team The Seahawks was located right here! (She points at a spot on an ancient map) Seattle!
Thundarr: Lords Of Light! Are you sure this information is correct?
Ariel: Relatively so, yes.
Thundarr: Then let's go tell the rebels!
*Thundarr begins walking towards the door.*
Ariel: Ummm . . . Thundarr?
Thundarr: (Stopping at the door) Aye?
Ariel: Don't you think we should get dressed first?
*Thundarr looks down at his naked body, looks back up at Ariel, then laughs heartily. He quickly retrieves his loincloth and Ariel's dress. He tosses the dress to Ariel then begins to get dressed himself. Princess Ariel laughs as well as she begins to dawn her outfit.*
Act II: Scene 89
*Musical montage of Zogarr The Barbarian riding through the countryside, talking to peasants, beating information out of citizens, tracking the mounts of the three companions, staying in their former campsites, etc.*
Act II: Scene 90
Location: Just outside The Rebel's Secret Base
*Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla are outside the base with their mounts. With them are the rebel leader and three of his men. There are three more horses, saddled and ready for the road.*
Rebel Leader: You have food and water for several days. My men here will guide you to the ruins of Seattle. They know the way well, and are skilled warriors.
Thundarr: I thank you.
*Thundarr and the rebel leader clasp forearms in farewell. The leader then turns to Ookla and hands him a large and powerful looking longbow. He also hands him a large quiver of extra long arrows.*
Rebel Leader: Here Ookla, these are for you.
Ookla: [A mok longbow! I haven't even seen one since I was a cub! I've never seen one so beautiful!]
Thundarr: Ookla says that the bow is beautiful.
Rebel Leader: No one in camp can even draw it.
Ookla: [Of course! Only a mok can draw and shoot a mok bow!]
Thundarr: He says that's because none of you are moks.
Rebel Leader: Use it well, my friend.
Ookla: (Nodding affirmatively) [I will.]
*The rebel leader pats Ookla on the shoulder. He then turns to face Princess Ariel. She wraps her arms around him and gives him a hug, which he happily reciprocates. *
Ariel: Thank you so much!
Rebel Leader: It is I who should be thanking you, Your Highness. Because of you, we might actually be able to put an end to your evil stepfather's tyranical rule and put you on the throne in his place. We can return peace, prosperity, and justice to the land.
Ariel: It's a little early for such talk.
Rebel Leader: Return with the ultimate weapon that ancient piece of paper hinted at, and it will no longer be "just talk".
Ariel: Then we had best be going.
Rebel Leader: May The Lords Of Light guide your path.
Ariel: And may the Demon Dogs never nip at your heels.
*Ariel hugs the rebel leader one last time, then turns and mounts Chestnut. Thundarr and Ookla mount Lightning and Comet. Their three guides mount their horses and the six of them ride off into the distance.*
Act II: Scene 91
Location: The woods where Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla were ambushed.
*Zogarr The Barbarian is crouching down in the grass. He takes notice of how the blades of grass are bent here or trampled there. He finds several areas which are saturated with blood. He tastes a bloodied blade of grass, and spits it out. He finds tracks leading away from the ambush spot. Zogarr follows them to a line of several shallow graves. He pulls out his dagger and uses it to partially dig up a few graves. There are both pig-mutants and battle droids buried in this makeshift cemetery. Zogarr searches some more and finds more tracks leading away from the graves. He quickly mounts Hurricane and gallops off in the direction of the tracks.*
Act II: Scene 92
Location: In the wilderness, somewhere between the ruins of Langley and Seattle.
*Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla stop for the night, along with their three guides. They cook up a hearty meal over the camp fire. They all share a laugh as they pass the time through the night. Thundarr and Ariel sit close together and enjoy one another's company. Eventually, Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla retire for the evening. Thundarr and Ariel share the same tent. As they enter the tent they immediately begin to kiss and pull at each other's clothes. *
Fade to black.
Act II: Scene 92
Location: Just outside the Rebellion's hidden base.
*Zogarr The Barbarian watches from his perch high in the trees as one of the rebels leaves the base to go on sentry duty. He's armed with a short bow and a quiver of arrows. If he has any weapons for close combat, Zogarr can't tell. He hardly seems concerned. Zogarr waits for the sentry to move on before climbing down the tree.*
Act II: Scene 93
Location: Somewhere in the wilderness.
*The rebel sentry is cautiously moving along his assigned route. He looks all around him, careful not to overlook any possible hiding spots where spies might be lurking. In the distance the sentry hears a horse nickering in the distance. He investigates the noise, discovering Hurricane grazing up ahead. A twig snaps behind the sentry. He turns around and to find Zogarr had snuck up behind him. Zogarr grabs the sentry by the shoulders, headbutts him in the face, then grabs him by the hair and slams his head into the trunk of a nearby tree, rendering him unconscious. *
Act II: Scene 94
Location: A cave, an unknown distance from Rebel Headquarters.
*The rebel sentry awakens to find his wrists tied to a heavy wooden pole, and his head and neck bound to a wooden log, effectively crucified. The cave is being lit by a large bonfire in the center. Squatting next to the bonfire, poking it with an ancient piece of steel rebar, is the barbarian Zogarr. Zogarr looks over at the sentry and sees he's awake. Leaving the rebar shoved into the coals of the roaring fire, Zogarr gets up and walks over to his prisoner.*
Zogarr: About time you woke up. I was beginning to fear that I may have hit you too hard.
Sentry: What do you want?
Zogarr: The princess. Where is she?
Sentry: Why should I tell you?
Zogarr: So you know where she is.
Sentry: I never said that!
Zogarr: You didn't have to. I've tracked her to your camp. I know she's either with still there, or she's left. If she's left, then I want to know where.
Sentry: What do you want with her?
Zogarr: Me? Nothing. But my employer wants very much to have her back, and he's paying me handsomely for my services.
Sentry: Only person who can afford to send mercenaries after Her Highness is Sabian. He can rot in Hell before I betray her to him.
Zogarr: I'm afraid you have little choice. You see, I'm going to find out what I need to know. Then I'm going to kill you and get my prize. The only question is, how much pain you're gonna endure before all is said and done.
*Zogarr strikes the sentry with a right cross to the jaw.*
Zogarr: Where is the princess?
*The sentry just glares at him. Zogarr hits the sentry again with a left hook to the other side of the face.*
Zogarr: Where is the princess?
*The sentry spits a mouthful of blood into Zogarr's face. Zogarr responds with several body shots to the sentry's ribs.*
Zogarr: Where. Is. The. Princess?
*The sentry coughs up a bunch of blood and spits it on the cave floor. He then takes a few deep breaths, stands up straight, and stares unflinching into Zogarr's eyes.*
Act II: Scene 95
*A musical montage of Zogarr torturing the rebel sentry. He keeps asking the rebel over and over where the princess is. The rebel refuses to tell him every time. And every time he gets hit again.*
Act II: Scene 96
*The rebel sentry is still bound to the makeshift cross. Zogarr is standing by the fire, massaging his bruised knuckles. The sentry is now incredibly beat up. His eyes are swollen shut. His lips are swollen and bloody. There are welts all over his torso. He slips in and out of consciousness. Zogarr walks over to him, lifts the sentry's head with one hand and gently slaps him awake with the other.*
Zogarr: Hey, wake up! You wanna talk now?
*The sentry grunts in reply.*
Zogarr: Look. You've been very brave. You've endured more than anyone I've ever met. I'm really very impressed. I mean that. But it's over. All that's left for you to look forward to is more pain. Just tell me where the girl is, and this can all be over.
The sentry nods his head.
Zogarr: Excellent. Now where is the girl?
Sentry: In . . . the valley.
Zogarr: What valley?
Sentry: The valley . . . where the light . . . of . . . the sun . . . and the moon . . .never shine.
Zogarr: Where is this valley?
Sentry: The valley . . . is located . . . up . . . your ass!
Zogarr: What?!
Sentry: Fool! . . . I will . . . never . . . betray . . . Princess . . . Ariel!
Zogarr: No, my friend. You will soon learn that it is you who are the fool!
*Zogarr draws a large Bowie knife from his belt.*
Zogarr: Every time you don't answer my question, I cut off a finger!
Sentry: Mine . . . or yours?
*Zogarr grabs the sentry's hand and cuts off the pinky finger. He throws the finger into the fire, then grabs the steel rebar. Zogarr uses the red hot tip of the rebar to cauterize the finger, then puts it back into the coals.*
Zogarr: Let's try this again! Where is she?
Sentry: Go . . . to . . . Hell.
*Zogarr grabs the sentry's ring finger and cuts it off, then cauterizes it with the red hot rebar.*
Zogarr: Where is she?
*The sentry shakes his head negatively. Zogarr grabs his middle finger and cuts it off, then cauterizes it with the red hot rebar.*
Zogarr: Where. Is. She?
*The sentry takes a couple of deep breaths, then shakes his head again. Zogarr grabs his index finger and cuts it off, then cauterizes it with the red hot rebar.*
Zogarr: You're running out of fingers my friend. I will be starting on your other hand soon. Same question. Where. Is. She?
Sentry: South . . . She went . . . south.
Zogarr: South to where?
Sentry: Ruins . . . of . . . Seattle.
Zogarr: Thank you.
*Zogarr thrusts his Bowie knife high into the sentry's abdomen, slicing downwards towards his pelvis. Then he pulls the blade out and slashes the sentry across the lower abdomen. The sentry's intestines spill out onto the cave floor.*
Zogarr: Had you given me that information much earlier, I would have made your death swift and relatively painless. Thanks to your stubbornness, the princess has another whole day's head start. And while I enjoyed torturing you quite immensely, now I must push myself that much harder to make up for lost time. And that may cost me my fee. So now you can sit here and suffer.
Act II: Scene 97
*Zogarr mounts his horse, Hurricane, and gallops off towards the south just as the morning sun crests the eastern horizon. Then there is a musical montage with scenes of Zogarr riding Hurricane at a hard gallop interspersed with scenes of Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla with their guides riding their horses at a leisurely canter. *
Act II: Scene 98
Location: A few miles outside of the ruins of Seattle.
*Thundarr, Ariel, and Ookla reign their mounts to a halt right next to an ancient sign which reads "Welcome To Seattle". The three of them and their guides dismount and begin setting up camp. The sun is just setting on the western horizon. In the distance they can see lights beginning to appear in the city ruins.*
Ariel: Looks like it's inhabited, anyway.
Thundarr: Ookla and I should scout it out first, in case the inhabitants aren't friendly.
Ariel: I'm a big girl, Thundarr. I can take care of myself.
Thundarr: I'm sure you can. Don't worry, we won't start anything without you. But we want to make sure it's safe first.
Ookla: [Yes. We're just scouting ahead. Nothing else.]
Thundarr: Exactly. We're just scouting.
Ariel: Okay, fine. But hurry back!
Thundarr: I will.
*Ariel hugs him around the neck and kisses him passionately.*
Ariel: And be careful.
Thundarr: Always.
*Thundarr and Ookla head off into the deepening gloom. Ookla chuckles as they ride.*
Thundarr: Oh, shut up.
Act II: Scene 99
*Princess Ariel is sitting by the campfire with her two guides. The campfire is kept small to keep it from being seen from the city. The guides cook their evening meal over the fire, and boil a kettle of tea to go with it. A rustling sound in the darkness gets the attention of one of the guards. After a moment of silence, he goes back to the cooking. A moment later, they all hear a twig snapping in the darkness. One of the guides arms himself with a pair of Fu Tao (Chinese Hook Swords). He cautiously moves towards the darkness. Suddenly he is thrown backwards as Zogarr tackles him, seemingly from out of nowhere. They tumble together, rolling through the campfire and scattering the burning logs. Zogarr winds up on top and slams his head into the guide's face, knocking him out.*
Act II: Scene 100
*The second guide scrambles to his belongings. He reaches for his twin Jian Swords (Chinese straight bladed, double edged swords). Zogarr grips his Power Ax just below the head ans swings the handle, catching the guide on the jaw with the butt of the shaft. The barbarian then stands up and twists the knob on the end of the ax handle, powering up the blades of the Power Ax.*
Ariel: Stand back boys! Let a lady handle this!
*Princess Ariel raises her hands above her head and casts a magic bolt of energy at Zogarr. Zogarr blocks it with the head of his Power Ax, deflecting the spell back at Ariel. The blast strikes the sorceress full in the chest, sending her hurling backwards. She tumbles on the ground until she lies on her back unconscious.*
Guide #3: Your Highness! (To Zogarr) You bastard! What did you do to her?
Zogarr: Nothing worse than what she had planned for me.
Act II: scene 101
*Guide #3 draws his Dao Sword (Chinese curved bladed, single edged broadsword) and attacks Zogarr. The guide uses an impressive combination of Kung Fu and swordsmanship, but can't get through Zogarr's defenses. Zogarr swings his Power Ax at the guide, who attempts to parry it with his Dao Sword. The Power Ax cuts right through the steel blade of the weapon. Then before the guide can recover, Zogarr slashes him twice across the abdomen, knocking the guide to the ground.*
Act II: Scene 102
*As Zogarr stands over the body of Guide #3, poised and ready to strike his final blow, Guide #2 hits him in the back of the head with a flying dropkick. The kick strikes Zogarr with enough force to knock his helmet off of his head. He turns around and is peppered with a flurry of attacks from the guide's twin Jian Swords. Somehow Zogarr manages to deflect every sword strike with his Power Ax. Guide #2 tries a double overhead downward chop with his Jian Swords. Zogarr blocks it with his Power Ax, holding the steel handle across as though it were a quarterstaff. He then pushes forward, using his incredible size and strength advantage over the much smaller guide, and drives the shaft forwards, clotheslining the guide just below the nose. Guide #2 staggers back, stunned by the powerful strike to such a sensitive area. Blood pours from his nostrils and tears run down his cheeks, as he shakes his head, blinking and snorting, trying to reorient himself. Before he can realign his defenses, Zogarr takes his head off with a single swipe of his Power Ax.*
Act II Scene 103
*Just as Zogarr turns around to move towards Princess Ariel, something slashes across his face. He staggers back and brings his and to his wounded face. When he looks at his hand, he sees his own blood. There is now a deep gash running across his face, from his left eyebrow down diagonally to his right lower jaw. He looks across the camp to Guide #1. The guide had recovered from his headbutt, and is now standing ready with his twin Fu Tao Swords. The guide had just linked the hooks of the blades together and swung the swords at Zogarr from twice their length away, slashing him across the face with their bladed hand guards. Zogarr roars in anger and charges, his Power Ax poised for an overhead downward chop. The guide blocks the attack with his Fu Tao, crossing them up over his head and catching the ax handle on its way down. He then pulls the swords outwards, locking the shaft in the twin hooks. Once again, Zogarr uses his superior size and strength to his advantage. He twists about and throws Guide #1 and his twin Fu Tao to the ground. In an impressive display of agility, Guide #1 nips back up to his feet. Unfortunately, he nips up into the oncoming blade of Zogarr's Power Ax and is split in two like a piece of firewood.*
Act II: Scene 104
*Zogarr walks over to the unconscious form of Princess Ariel lying in the dirt. He shuts down the power of his Power Ax and then kneels down next to her. He grabs her by the hair and pulls her face up close to his.*
Zogarr: My, you're a pretty little thing. I'd sure love to make a whore outta you. Unfortunately for me, I have a contract to bring you back to your daddy unspoiled. Too bad, 'cause we coulda had a lot of fun, you and me.
*Zogarr pulls a couple of short lengths of rope from his belt and binds Ariel's hands and ankles. He then drapes her over the back of his stallion, Hurricane, and rides off. Last shoot of the scene is of the bodies of the three guides, lying where they had fallen.*
*Fade To Black*
