A Psycho's Trial Run part 2

Act 1 Scene 22: Sasuke's safehouse. Sasuke and Steve are on phone and are trying at get a response from Justin.

Steve: "Justin? Justin?! What happened?! Do you read?!" No response on the other line.

Sasuke: "This is not good. This is very bad!"

Steve: "What should we do?" Sasuke starts thinking of a plan.

Act 1 Scene 23: Back at the bottom of the bridge. Justin is face-to-face with the assailant.

Man: "Let's go a couple of rounds. What do you say?" Justin's mind is racing. "I'm waiting for an answer, friend." The man smiles an evil smile.

Justin: "Very well, then. One thing before we start the fight, what's your name?" The man is able to undo the restrains of his straitjacket. He then stretches his limbs to prepare for the fight.

Man (chuckles): "I'm called Dylan Martyr. A new edition to the organization called The Headless Dragon Clan. Since you're one of The Ninjas, I'll give a sample of my skills." Dylan charges at Justin.

Justin (thinking): "This will be easy. It looks like he's going to punch me." Dylan throws a punch at Justin, but Justin grabs Dylan's hand. "I got you." Dylan smiles. He's got a sharp piece of glass in his other hand and he aims for Justin's face. Justin sees the glass and it misses him by inches.

Dylan: "Nice dodge. Try dodging this one." Dylan kicks Justin in the stomach with both feet. Dylan escapes Justin's hands; the kick left Justin breathless. "I guess I used too much force, huh?"

Justin (finally talks): "You got lucky. Watch this." Justin throws a smoke bomb at Dylan. The smoke blinds Dylan making it hard for him see. Justin is behind Dylan. He gets Dylan in a sleeper hold. "Time to go sleep, crazy man."

Dylan: "Oh, yeah. That's what you think!" Dylan's arm has chains on it and he clubs Justin in the head.

Act 1 Scene 24: Justin and his father's apartment. Sasuke and Steve tell Justin's father that they lost contact with Justin.

Justin's dad: "What?! What do you mean "lost contact"?" Justin's dad was red in the face. Sasuke and Steve are trying to calm him down. Justin's dad rushes to his police car. "I already lost his wife! I can't lose my son! Where the f-k is my keys?!" Sasuke has them in his hands.

Sasuke: "Whoever is fighting Justin, you getting backup."

Steve: "What do you say, Mr. Myers?"

Justin's dad: "Get in."

Act 1 Scene 25: Back at the bottom of the bridge. Justin is going at it with Dylan. Punches and kicks are getting thrown at each other. A couple of misses and blocks and some of them cause damage.

Justin (thinking): "He's good. He definitely spits out his meds when the nurses aren't watching."

Dylan: "Come on, Ninja Boy. Let's keep fighting. I f-king love it!" Dylan charges at Justin only until a gunshot fires. Justin's dad, Sasuke and Steve (both Sasuke and Steve are wearing their ninja outfits) appear.

Justin's dad: "Leave the ninja alone, right now." Dylan lowers his hands. In a second, he throws a sharp piece of glass at Justin. Justin falls. Justin's dad is shocked and angry. "How dare you do that dirty trick!" He fires blindly at Dylan. Dylan runs away.

Steve: "Mr. Myers, stop! You're going to end up firing at your son!" Sasuke runs to the wounded Justin.

Sasuke (to both Justin's dad and Steve): "Guys, he's still breathing. Call an ambulance."

Justin (weakly): "We got to go after him."

Sasuke: "No, Justin. You need to your rest." Justin is out like a light.

Act 1 Scene 26: A couple of miles from the bridge. Dylan stops running and is breathless. A car honks its horn. It is Thomas Nelson Tyson at the wheel.

Thomas: "Get in." Dylan gets into the car. "That was impressive, Dylan. You have proven yourself worthy of being a Headless Dragon Clan member."

Dylan: "Thanks."

Thomas: "How was the fighting?"

Dylan (smiles): "It... was... GOOOOOOOD!" The car drives away and no one is following them.

End of Act 1.

A Psycho's Trial Run

Act 1 Scene 20: March 18th. A week has passed after Al ordered his forced hired help to wreak chaos on Oceanview. The Ninjas are trying to see if the police got any leads from the disasters all over the town.

Sasuke: "I got nothing. What about you guys?"

Justin: "Nope. Nothing."

Steve: "Sorry, Sasuke. There is still not enough information on the preps." Sasuke puts his hand on his face. He starts to rub his hand very vigorous.

Justin: "Hey, Sasuke. Not so hard, buddy. You're going to leave marks." Sasuke stands up from his chair and walks toward his window.

Sasuke: "Guys, this is a big deal. The Headless Dragon Clan came back and the city is living in fear. We can't seem to do anything right." Justin and Steve's phones start ringing.

Steve: "Sasuke, I'm going to need to take this."

Justin: "Same here." Both Justin and Steve leave to talk on their phone. A couple of seconds later, both of them reappear with their phones still in their hands. "Sorry, Sasuke. Ever since we helped you face the Headless Dragon Clan, both of our parents gave us curfews."

Steve: "My parents told me to start heading back home ASAP." Sasuke flips a table.

Sasuke: "I don't believe you guys! Curfews, written homework and your precious electronics are going to be the deaths of both of you."

Steve: "Sasuke, what's with you? Ever since you had those recurring nightmares, you have constantly been on edge."

Sasuke: "I seem to be the only one who cares about the well-being of the town. My own "brothers" don't care that their hometown will become a crater ."

Justin: "Whatever happened to staying calm under pressure? Did that just go away once you had that nightmare?" Sasuke is about to open his mouth until a police ham radio starts making sounds.

Act 1 Scene 21: Under a bridge. A few minutes later. Justin left the safehouse to check on the emergency that came from the ham radio. It was some records of a man in a straitjacket being spotted around the area he's at.

Justin: "I'm at the location, guys. Are you sure neither of you guys wanted to come?"

Steve (on phone): "Sorry, Justin. Sasuke didn't want to bother going. I'm only here to keep him company."

Justin: "Fine." He checks every corner of the area. "I don't see anyone here."

Steve (on phone): "Keep looking. He couldn't have gotten too far even for you."

Justin: "Watch your mouth, Steve. You had problems finding targets yourself." Suddenly, an entire trashcan falls over. "Shhh! Someone's here. Steve, tell my dad that coming home late. I'll call you later." Justin turns off his cell phone. He walks very slowly so no one can hear him. (to the man) "Hello... is anyone there? The mental hospital is worried sick about you. Please stop running away."

Man: "You want me to stop running. Well, here I am. Take me to mental hospital if you must." Justin looks at the man and he decides to lower his weapons.

Justin: "Okay, I dropped my weapons. Time to go to your house."

Man: "Actually, think again." The man does a judo flip on Justin. "You are in the presence of an era. The Fall of The Ninjas."

To be continued...

The Enemy's Ignited Fire

Act 1 Scene 18: March 11th. The Headless Dragon Clan's secret headquarters. Al is on the phone with someone.

Al (on the phone): "Yes. That's excellent. Make sure it all comes to this location. I'll talk to you later." Thomas enters Al's office. (to Thomas) "Yes, Thomas. What can I do for you?"

Thomas (clears his throat): "Um... Al. It's about our new help. He bothers me."

Al: "How so? Did he threaten your life?"

Thomas: "No, it's just that ever since I brought him to you; he has done some strange things."

Al: "Like..."

Thomas: "Well, I saw scratches on the floor. He punched holes into the walls and don't get me started on what he did to his bed sheets."

Al: "He's just getting used to his new home. He'll calm down in a matter of days."

Thomas (under his breath): "If I can survive a matter of days."

Al: "What was that?"

Thomas: "Nothing, Al. Nothing at all." Al reaches for his phone. "What are you doing, Al?"

Al: "I'm informing our new helpers to do something for me quickly."

Thomas: "And what is that?"

Al (smiling): "A big surprise for the gated community we all call "home".

Act 1 Scene 19: Elsewhere. The people that Al hired in An Enemy's Growing Army are planting bombs in various buildings. Some others are driving to various locations with all sorts of weaponry.

Al: "Thomas, meet me at the rooftops in 5 minutes."

Thomas: "O...kay." The henchman are lighting the explosives and loading up their guns. One person lit a molotov cocktail and throws it in a house. At the rooftop, Thomas showed up.

Al: "Ah, good. You're here."

Thomas: "Why are we on the roof?"

Al: "Watch this." He reaches for his phone and sends his henchmen a text to start the "party". Thomas is hearing screams, gunfire, explosions and sirens.

Thomas: "Holy s-t! You planned this whole thing."

Al: "I did, my friend. Oceanview and its citizens must pay for their sins. They betrayed us for the last time. The Ninjas have to pay as well. They refused to kill the people who hurt me. I found that as an insult."

Thomas: "I didn't know that your hate was so powerful."

Al: "This "party" is only step one of our revenge."

Thomas: "What step two then?"

Al: "You'll know soon enough, my friend. You'll know soon enough."

The End... for now.

A Shadow's Nightmare

Act 1 Scene 12: Sasuke's bedroom. March 6th. At the dead of night. Sasuke can't seem to go to sleep. He walks to his bathroom sink and drinks some water. He looks at his mirror and he looks awful.

Act 1 Scene 13: March 6th. After school. Justin and Steve are walking to the safehouse to pay Sasuke a visit.

Steve: "It's been a long time since we saw Sasuke."

Justin: "I know. The last time we saw him was like 2 to 3 months. We celebrating Christmas and the New Year with him."

Steve: "He has been texting us to yell us that he's okay. Ninjas lie and I know when he's lying."

Justin: "We better pick up the pace. You knows what he's really doing."

Steve: "Good idea."

Act 1 Scene 14: Sasuke's safehouse. Justin and Steve make it to the front door. Justin unlocks the door and slowly open it.

Steve: "Sasuke, it's us. Where are you?" They both enter the house and close the door behind them. they hear a loud thud.

Justin: "What was that?"

Steve: "I think it came from the kitchen. Let's move." They run to the kitchen and see Sasuke out cold on the floor.

Justin and Steve: "Sasuke!" They rush over him to see what's wrong.

Justin: "He's still breathing. Oh God, he looks terrible. Look at the circles over his eyes."

Steve: "We should let him sleep for little bit. When he wakes up, let's try talking to him."

Act 1 Scene 15: In Sasuke's head, he's dreaming of his burning village. He is running around and looking for survivors.

Sasuke: "Hello! Is anyone here?!" He approaches a house and it quickly becomes ash. He hears a baby crying. "Hold on, kid! I'm coming!" He approaches the baby and sees that it's a younger version of him. He grabs the baby and runs away from the burning village. Out of nowhere, The Headless Dragon Clan appear with Kohta and Al as the leaders. He stops running.

Kohta: "End of the line, Sasuke. The village is gone forever." Sasuke holds on to the baby version of himself. Al gets closer to Sasuke while he unsheathes his sword.

Sasuke: "Get away from me! Leave me alone!" Al stabs Sasuke with his sword and Sasuke drops the baby of himself.

Al (smiling): "You will pay for the death of my "father". Oceanview will burn and you and the others will die."

Act 1 Scene 16: Sasuke wakes up from his nightmare. He screams and both Justin and Steve rush over to him and try to comfort him. A couple of minutes pass.

Justin (to Sasuke): "You okay?" Sasuke nods a "no".

Sasuke: "Guys, terrible things are going to happen soon. I just don't know when."

Steve: "Should we be scared?"

Sasuke: "Yes, Steve. Yes, you should."

Act 1 Scene 17: Al's secret headquarters. Thomas Nelson Tyson enters Al's room.

Thomas: "Al, it wasn't easy but I got the new addition to your cause right here."

Al: "Enter, my new brother." A man with a bag over his head and a strait jacket appears. "Tell me, what is your name?"

Man: "My name is..." Fades to black.

The End... For Now.

An Enemy's Growing Army

Act 1 Scene 10: March 3. Oceanview Country Club and Golf Course. A small group of people are invited to a private party. They are at the dining hall.

Man 1: "Why are we here?"

Woman 1: "Who invited us? This invitation doesn't say who it's from." The people are chattering away wondering why they are at the county club.

Man 2: "I don't know about you guys, but I'm leaving right..." Before he said "now", someone shoots him in the heart. Man 2 dies.

Woman 2 (shouts): "Oh my God! He's dead!" Everyone starts panicking. They try to call 911, but there is no connection for any cell phones. Everyone runs to the main exit.

Woman 3: "Everyone, wait! I don't think that's a good idea!"

Woman 1 (to Woman 3): "What do you mean?"

Woman 3: "I mean if we run to the exit; we might get picked off."

Al Chapman Jr. (in the shadows): "You know, I think you should listen to her." Al appears from the darkness. "Hello, everyone. I am Al Chapman Jr. and I am the boss of the most dangerous yakuza gangs in the world, The Headless Dragon Clan."

Man 4 (chuckles): "This kid is the boss of an underground crime syndicate. What a load of bulls-t!" Al runs to him and dropkicks Man 4 in the gut.

Al: "Anyone else want to come at me. I promise I won't snap your neck. Please everyone, have a seat."

Woman 2: "I don't think..." She is interrupted by Al firing his gun at the ceiling.

Al (shouting): "Sit the f-k down now, you a-holes!" Everyone quickly sits down. "That's better. Now, let me ask you all a question. Why are you all here? There's no right or wrong answers." Some yakuza member appear from the shadows.

Woman 4: "Does it have something to do with The Ninjas?"

Al: "Actually, yes. Those jerks ruined everything in my life. They murdered my "father" and both them and this city will pay."

Man 3: "Are you taking us hostage?"

Al: "Totally opposite, my friend. All of you have something to hide from both The Ninjas and the town of Oceanview. (To Man 3) "You, good sir, have stolen thousand of dollars from all your workers' paychecks."

Man 3 (to Al): "How do you know that?" Al grabs his laptop and turns on a projector showing everyone's name and what they have secretly did illegally.

Woman 1: "You have been stalking us all this time."

Al: "Yes. Help me destroy The Ninjas and this will all go away. Your secrets will be safe if you swear your allegiance to me. If not, this gated community will know your true colors." Everyone raises their hands. "If you rat me out, my gang will have no problem killing you."

Act 1 Scene 11: A few hours later. At a disclosed area. A man with a bag is walking to Al's office.

Al: "You can take off the bag now, friend." The man turns out to be Thomas Nelson Tyson (another old enemy of The Ninja). "I took great strides to get you out of jail."

Thomas: "Why am I here?"

Al: "I want you to join me. Today is the beginning of the new Headless Dragon Clan. The Ninjas ruined both of our lives, but we need a third in our brotherhood."

Thomas: "Who do you have in mind?" Al gives Thomas a piece of paper with the address of a mental hospital. "A crazy house?"

Al: "I already found our "brother", but you need to get him out. Do we have a deal?"

Thomas: "Deal." Al shakes his hand.

The End... For Now.
