INT. A DIMLY LIT CELL651Please respect copyright.PENANAEaLu5qlEJS
THREE MEN are shackled on the floor of the dim, dank cell. The sound of a crowd roaring can be heard in the distance. MAN ONE is quaking and sobbing. MAN TWO is muttering to himself while rocking back and forth. MAN THREE (an extremely well built man with long blonde hair)looks calm and collected. KELVAN, a grizzled man with too many scars to count, appears at the door of the cell.651Please respect copyright.PENANAM35XdVwBtg

KELVAN651Please respect copyright.PENANAVsLMCTLkCL
Give the good sword to blondie. He might have had a chance if it weren't for these two worthless worms.651Please respect copyright.PENANAQP0suJU29R
The two guards unshackle all of the men. A SERVANT GIRL enters holding weapons. Rusty old blades, that look like well used garden machetes, are handed to the two scared men. A sharp looking sword is handed to Man Three (now known as BLONDIE).651Please respect copyright.PENANAVftcs144ql
INT. DIM HALLWAY651Please respect copyright.PENANAcdrELYN44m
The three men are forced out of their cell by the guards and ushered down a hallway. There is light coming through the doorway at the end. Kelvan and the servant girl watch from behind. Man One wets himself. The urine runs down his legs as they get closer to the door. The screams of the crowd get louder as they get closer. When they approach the door one of the guards knocks twice on it and it flies open, flooding the room with sunlight.651Please respect copyright.PENANAc7S2LTb5dq
EXT. A MAKESHIFT, OUTDOOR ARENA WITH BLOOD SPLOTCHES ON THE GROUND651Please respect copyright.PENANAoGkG1w8c4A
A GLADIATOR dressed in patchwork armor made of football pads, a motorcycle helmet, spikes, leather and chain is holding a huge axe in the center of the arena. He is playing up to the cheering crowd. The three men stand in the door way as it shuts. Man One turns and starts banging on the door.651Please respect copyright.PENANAugi3Q0KXiy
MAN ONE651Please respect copyright.PENANA265ioSu0Wq
Please! Please! Let me back in!651Please respect copyright.PENANAY6p9Pr6veo
Man One looks frantically around the arena until he sees an IMPORTANT LOOKING MAN sitting in what appears to be a balcony. The man I surrounded by GUARDS. Man One runs up to the balcony and falls to his knees in front of it.651Please respect copyright.PENANATyYYPtxo83

Please, Gemini! Please! I've learned my lesson! I will make up for the rations I took! My family was starving!651Please respect copyright.PENANAUapOpL7NFk
The important looking man (now known as GEMINI) stands and looks down on the pleading man. The crowd becomes silent. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAORei16utCW
GEMINI (IN AN UNNATURALLY LOUD VOICE)651Please respect copyright.PENANAcxz7imCldh
Your family is now in a labor camp. Let this man serve as a warning to any who steal from the state. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAuNtsEPlSBf
Man One is cleaved in half by the gladiator and his axe. The crowd goes wild. Gemini smiles and sits. He nods to an ANNOUNCER who is not far from them. The Announcer grabs his microphone. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAcpIAyj7NZ1

BLONDIE651Please respect copyright.PENANAYFu3g86U92
Stay near me. We must work together.651Please respect copyright.PENANAWy0xtEUHTY
The sound of thunder crashes through the sky again. Man Two continues to breath heavy as he flanks Blondie. Vulture heads towards them. The gladiator swings at them several times with his axe. The two men are able to dodge each blow.651Please respect copyright.PENANAIiSuSSDZjK
BLONDIE651Please respect copyright.PENANAlxlM2HjG3S
Follow my attack!651Please respect copyright.PENANADLQJh0wPR5

BLONDIE651Please respect copyright.PENANA1CCcrlcDf9
Follow my attack!651Please respect copyright.PENANAdXpjbuBjTU
Blondie swings his sword several times, but is met by Vulture as he takes his axe in both hands and slams the handle into Blondie’s face. Thunder continues to rumble. Blondie falls to the ground. Vulture turns towards Man Two. He then shakes his head and starts showboating for the crowd. Man Two pumps himself up and makes a screaming run for Vulture. Just as he is about to reach Vulture the gladiator spins around and sinks his axe through the top of Man Two’s head. The axe splits him nearly in half as it goes all the way through his sternum. Vulture pulls out his axe and struts around the arena as the crowd goes crazy. Blondie recovers. His nose is busted and his face is covered in blood. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAxv5qSupvYe
ANNOUNCER651Please respect copyright.PENANAMfZRBUCrfP
And another one bites the dust! How long will this last treacherous bastard last against the mighty Vulture?651Please respect copyright.PENANAqDWpGHxDvG
Vulture and Blondie circle each other. It is clear that Blondie is no stranger to combat. He is quite calm. They each exchange swings of their weapons as the thunder crashes on. Blondie closes the gap and engages Vulture in a clinch. He uses his knees and starts slamming them into Vulture’s legs, which are only protected by some leather and some thigh pads. Vulture flinches and Blondie is able to throw him in a head and arm. Vulture crashes on the ground and Blondie comes down on top of him. Vulture’s motorcycle helmet flies off. They both scramble back to their weapons. Vulture swings again, but Blondie ducks underneath and slashes the gladiator’s thigh. Vulture screams and staggers backwards. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAnpv3tGyDY3

GEMINI651Please respect copyright.PENANAihvJiayPGS
Interesting.651Please respect copyright.PENANAPArXMsYRLJ
Vulture’s wild swings come to a peak frenzy as he slams his axe into the wall. He tries to recover it, but by then it is too late. Blondie hacks the gladiator’s forearms off as he attempts to pull the axe free. Vulture screams in agony as Blondie cleaves half of his head off. The gladiator falls lifeless to the ground. The crowd sits in stunned silence. Gemini begins to clap and the rest of the crowd follows suit. Before long they are screaming and cheering as the thunder continues to deafen them. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAdPnTCfaocM
