[sirens whaling]
(the shores nearby starts drawing back unnoticeably. There's about two dozen people on the beach; but they're out of the water, facing the city. A dozen building fires broke out, within a five block radius. The water continues to draw back. One young man grabs his surf board, ready to dive in... But then suddenly stops, skids, and falls on his backside!!! He tries to inform others, but they are too far away! Carnage continues in the city... Keeping everyone else's eyes glued to one direction! The waves start rushing towards shore, at rapid speed! The young man drops his surf board... Running almost at the pace of a rock, rolling down the side of a mountain! As he runs, he bellows... As he runs, he shouts... Keeping his focus on the incoming waves, and the people in bound... That young man's name is, Qeil)


QEIL: [shouts; bellows] Get off the beach... Get off the beach... Get off the beach, right now!!! A tsunami's about to hit!!! Get off the beach...

LIFEGUARD 1: Oh, for the love of this City, tsunami! Everyone clear the area! Tsunami incoming.

LIFEGUARD 2: {on loudspeaker} TSUNAMI!!!

EVERYONE: [starts screaming] & {running frantically}

LIFEGUARD 1: Get to higher grounds! Get to higher grounds...

LIFEGUARD 2: Illiad (lifeguard one)... There's no higher ground in sight, except for the buildings on fire!

ILLIAD: {looks around} We can't stay here, Leila (lifeguard two)! We're gonna have to take our chances there.

LEILA: [yells] Are you insane?!

ILLIAD: Look at what's heading towards our location, sis! I don't think you're thinking straight... ONE BIT!!!

QEIL: I agree with you Illiad.
LEILA: Shut up! Get your mid sized athletic self, out of here!!!


(tsunami hits twenty seconds later... flattening nearly everything in sight! debris and dead bodies, floating through the city streets! broken glasses from the collapsed buildings... slitting open and puncturing holes, in the few that survived the first 🌊!)


QEIL: {inside of a solitary standing structure} [shouts] I got high ground! I got high ground, everyone... someone... ANYONE!!! [gasps] I don't feel so good. {he sways back and forth; then feints through the window}

AILAI: {throws a swimming pool float, breaking the fall of Qeil} {walks with a tone of grace, towards him} [whispers] Sit tight... I got you!

APRIL: (stuck under a large office desk) [grunts in frustration] Is anyone out there? Please help me!

QEIL: [whispers under his breath] Do you hear that?

AILAI: Shhh... Shhh... You need every bit of oxygen, right now.

QEIL: What's that in your hands? {looks at Ailai; unsorted & skeptical} What is that thing you're holding, little boy?

APRIL: Hello! Hello! Someone answer me... PLEASE!!!

AILAI: {pats Qeil on his forehead; graciously} It's time to go son... Leave your troubles here!


(as Ailai takes Qeil away, from the dreaded scene... April bursts out from under the desk, in ➡️ otherworldly ⬅️ fashion!)


ILLIAD: Leila! Leila! {face drifts into worrisome} Can you hear my voice? [shouts] LEILA!!! LEILA... AH, AH, AH! Answer me, dam it... ANSWER ME!!!

APRIL: Ailai, stop!

QEIL: Someone over there is calling you, young boy! It looks urgent... Just turn around!!!
AILAI: {turns around; but doesn't see anyone} No one's there. Hold me tight. The trip on the first day, can get rough!

(Ailai vanishes with Qeil, on his way back to Futuron. His mother April, tries to intercept his travel projection?! But misses him at the last millisecond.)

APRIL: [whispers to herself] Why couldn't he hear me? What have I done?
SHADOWY FIGURE: {speaks chillingly in her ear} Should have kept your eyes on him! You should've done something more!
APRIL: {turns around; shaking in her shoes} What did you say? Where'd you go? [shouts] I want answers!!!
ILLIAD: Who are you talking to, young lady? Have you seen my sister?
APRIL: They were just here... Or I must be hearing things!
ILLIAD: Where's my sister? Have you seen her?
LEILA: Brother! Is that you? Where are you?
APRIL: I think there's something off about this place right now! I just can't pinpoint what!
ILLIAD: What are you talking about? What do you mean? You haven't answered my question as yet!!! [yells out in frustration] Where is my sister?
SHADOWY FIGURE: This race of human beings, are so clueless, of the knives pointing right at them! They shake my soul, at times!
ILLIAD: Who was that?
APRIL: Heard it as well, right? I knew I wasn't crazy! {looks around in fear}
SHADOWY FIGURE: {cloaks them with its unerring presence} I'm going to take you somewhere! A place of subtle time! I can see you; but you can't see me. I can hear your fears; but you can't hear mine! I'll drop you off... Then I'll gone. It won't take you forever! To think about going back... To where you came from!

(shadowy figure disappears with Illiad and April. Leila eventually frees herself from the tight space she was in, with a little help from two strangers... Aura and Ceri. Where they came from, isn't yet known. Meanwhile, back on the planet Futuron...)

LEADER: I need everyone's attention in the main room!
MELAK: What do you have on your mind, master?
LEADER: Tell Conar to get the Mindula.
MELAK: I'll let you know when he has it!
LEADER: This is important... So be fast and careful, with it.

(Ailai is seen entering the realm)

CONAR: {prepares the landing foam} Tator (second in command)...
TATOR: I saw it, Conar. Every poler (soldier) on there weapons!!! Conar... Get my brother here!
MELAK: [commandingly bellows] HOLD ALL OF YOUR WEAPONS DOWN!
TATOR: [shouts] You don't give orders here, Melak!!! That responsibility here is mine! MINE! MINE! {disregards Melak; and gives the firing order}
CONAR: {slaps Melak with authority}
TATOR: [looks in disbelief] I never thought you had that in you. [looks at the belittled Melak]
MELAK: [fixes his face; with a spine ripping offensive look] There'll be a positive shift in command soon enough... On this planet!!! And none of you standing here... Will ever be in the conversation! Richter (LEADER) will be with "Mindula"! {walks over to Tator} He wouldn't even think of you once!

(Ailai lands with Qeil... Who is stuck in a state of awe and uncertainty. Tator, melee's his weapon with uncertainty, towards Ailai and Qeil. Richter exits his main hall at the last second... melting the in flight weapon of Tator!)

(April and Illiad, appears at the place of subtle time. Black diamonds fell from above, the surrounding is all white... with no sight, just sounds, from little 🐦 🐦! They both yell together; but their voices bounced back, deafening their 👂 👂!)

ILLIAD: I hate this so much!
APRIL: How ironic, can you get?
ILLIAD: Look at this picture... Tell me what is wrong about it?
APRIL: There's not much of a picture to look at... I think I see something, or someone!
