A Shadow's Sorrow and Rage part 2

Act 3 Scene 4: California State Prison. The whole place is going to Hell. The inmates and the cops are fighting each other as well as some surviving members of the Shadow Village massacre. Meanwhile, Sasuke, Steve and Tohru got inside the prison and are trying to find Justin and Al's former stepfather, Robert Calhoun.

Sasuke: "Justin can't be too far. We need to split up and cover more ground. Agreed?" Both Steve and Tohru nod and both go to different corridors of the prison. All 3 find some people in the way and take care of them quickly as they can. Meanwhile at another area of the prison, Justin and Robert Calhoun are trying to avoid some of the Headless Dragon Clan-hired ninjas.

Robert: "So, Al's still alive. I guess he finally grew a pair after all these years." Justin gives a punch in the jaw.

Justin: "You f-ked up his mind. It's your fault he's like this!"

Robert: "It's not just me, ninja boy. It's also you, the other ninjas and those kids who tortured him for their own amusement. Maybe if you killed them, none of this would've happened." Justin punches Robert to the point of bleeding from nose and skull. "GO AHEAD AND KILL ME, NINJA BOY!!! END HIS REIGN OF TERROR RIGHT NOW BY KILLING ME!" Robert smiles and Justin is disgusted at the evil smile.

Justin: "No. I am not a killer." Sasuke and Steve appear.

Sasuke: "What the hell is going on here?"

Justin: "Guys, ninjas are here. They work for..."

Steve (interrupts): "For Al, we know. So that's Al's former stepfather."

Justin: "Yeah, he's just as twisted as he made Al."

Sasuke: "Al probably wants to cause a prison riot so his ninjas would either kill or kidnap him."

Steve: "So what do we do?" Sasuke sees something and has an idea.

Act 3 Scene 5: A couple of feet in the air. Al and some of the Headless Dragon Clan are on their way to the prison.

Al(to Dylan and Thomas): "Our stealth team informed us that The Ninjas are at the state prison."

Dylan: "Why are they there?"

Al: "Not sure. When they made contact with one of The Ninjas, we went silent." A huge explosion roars in the prison.

Thomas: "Something big going down out there." Al prepares to load a gun.

Act 3 Scene 6: Near the exit of the state prison. The Ninjas are running away from the destruction.

Sasuke: "We're almost there, guys. Hopefully, no one will find and follow us. Pick up the pace, boys!" Sasuke and Steve manage to get over the prison wall. "Justin, come on! We're running out of time!"

Justin: "I'm going as fast as can. I swear if I ever see Al again, I'll..." The Headless Dragon Clan helicopter stops Justin in his tracks. He sees Al, Dylan and Thomas in the helicopter. Justin charges and screams at the top of his lungs. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU GUYS!!!"

Steve: "Don't do it, Justin!!!" Gunshots are fired upon Justin.

Sasuke: "NO!!!" Justin falls on the ground. Sasuke and Steve run to their wounded friend. However, Tohru stops them and they see the Headless Dragon Clan ninjas grab Justin. "Give him back, right now!!!" They disappear with Justin.

Al (to Dylan): "Dylan, go and find what The Ninjas were looking for." Dylan runs inside the prison. Al talks to Thomas. "Thomas, if they move towards us, pull the trigger." The Ninjas leave in a flash.

Thomas (to Al): "They're gone, Al." Dylan contacts Al.

Al (to Dylan): "What is it, Dylan?"

Dylan: "I found someone named Robert Calhoun. What should I do?" Al pauses.

Al: "Leave him in the rubble, along with the other f-ked- up individuals." Al smiles. "Well, I guess the real gloves are off."

The End... for now.

A Shadow's Sorrow and Rage

Act 3 Scene 1: May 9th. 3 days after Justin's dad (Det. Kevin Myers) was killed by a corrupt citizen driving a tank. Oceanview Funeral Home and Cemetery. Cops, residents, and Justin and Steve's classmates attend the funeral. They give Justin their condolences. The minster recites the sermon. After Justin's dad was buried, the cops identify the madman as Kyle Baxter, the executive of the local surveillance company. Citizens of Oceanview decide to get rid of their own surveillance systems and decide to buy a different system that they can depend on.  A couple of hours after the funeral, Sasuke and Steve tend to their emotionally-shattered friend.

Sasuke (to Justin): "Listen, I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Al and his sick group will pay for this. Do you have anyone that will let you live with them?"

Justin (to Sasuke): "No, my grandmother lives in a retirement home. My dad had a brother, but my deadbeat uncle relocated to Parts Unknown, Canada. My dad was the only real family member who worried about me. Now he's gone."

Steve (to Justin): "My parents feel responsible for letting him go after that psycho." Justin punches Steve in the stomach and gut.

Sasuke (restraining Justin): "Justin, calm down! Relax! It's not Steve's fault!" Steve gets up and trying to breathe normally.

Justin: "Your overprotective parents ordered my dad to chase after us and try to protect us. The lunatic promised that if no one interferes; no one would get hurt. Guess what, Steve?! My dad interfered and now he's dead!" Justin starts to leave the cemetery.

Steve(recovering from the punch to the stomach): "Justin, where are you going?"

Justin: "I'm going to the person that started this whole f-king thing!"

Sasuke: "It's not me?"

Justin: "No, I'm going to the state prison. I'm going to kick the living s-t out Al's abusive stepdad! He's the real reason why Al wants to kill everyone in the city." Sasuke runs after Justin, but Justin kicks Sasuke in the face. Justin disappears in a flash.

Act 3 Scene 2: California State Prison. A man in his cell minding his own business. Suddenly, the prison wall explodes. Justin (in his ninja attire) appears from the smoke.

Justin (yelling):  "Robert Calhoun!" Robert Calhoun is Al's abusive former stepdad. He gets up and sees Justin.

Robert: "Whoa! What's going on here?!" Justin grabs Robert by his prison uniform collar and punches him 3 times.

Justin: "You are responsible for doing this!"

Robert: "Doing what?" Justin shows him a picture of Al Chapman.

Justin: "I guess you haven't been watching the news. A former victim of yours is pissed and is hell-bent on turning Oceanview into a graveyard site. All of his actions point to you; the #1 cause of this path of destruction. What do you have to say for yourself?!"

Robert: "I thought you came alone, Ninja." Justin turns around and is shocked at what he sees. He sees the ninjas that the Headless Dragon Clan enlisted to fight and kill. "Are they the other Ninjas that you work with?"

Justin: "No..." One ninja smokes a smoke bomb at Justin and Robert. It explodes which alerts the jail staff. (to Robert) "We still have a lot to talk about, you son of a bitch." Justin and Robert start running away from the enemy ninjas.

Act 3 Scene 3: Miles from California State Prison. Sasuke and Steve see the prison in total panic mode.

Steve: "Is this Justin's doing?"

Sasuke: "I really hope not, Steve." Tohru appears.

Tohru: "It is not."

Sasuke: "What you mean? Are you hiding something from us?" Tohru takes a breath and begins to tell Sasuke and Steve what could be the reason the prison is going to Hell.

Tohru: "I believe the Headless Dragon Clan had enlisted the help of the surviving members of Shadow Village."

Steve (shocked): "Wait, are you serious?! We need to get Justin out of there before he gets killed."

Sasuke: "Understood, Steve. Let's get down before it is too late." Sasuke, Steve and Tohru leap from a tree and go to where the destruction is.

A Loved One's Final Moments part 2

Act 2 Scene 28: May 6th. 3:32 pm. The road to The Headless Dragon Clan headquarters. The Ninjas are walking slowly while the tank-driving assassin has the tank cannon pointed at them.

Steve (whispering to Sasuke): "So, what do we know now? Any great plans?" Sasuke nods a "no". "What do you mean? We're dead either way."

Sasuke (whispering to Steve): "If we do anything too risky with this guy, we are going to be a huge hole in the ground."

Justin (whispering to Sasuke and Steve): "Steve, as long as no one else gets threatened by this lunatic, everyone else is safe. Very smart idea, Sasuke."

Tank-driving assassin: "Just a little further, Ninjas. I'm surprised you agreed to surrender."

Sasuke: "We have a code. Something you need to learn the next time you and The Headless Dragon Clan does something so dangerous."

Act 2 Scene 29: The police near the road closed sign. Justin's dad, Detective Kevin Myers, is worried that his son and the other two ninjas are going to "The Gates of Hell" aka The Headless Dragon Clan headquarters.

Officer 1: "Detective Myers, The Headless Dragon Clan have terrorized this city for the last time. Are we really doing this? The Ninjas are in danger. Are they going to convince The Headless Dragon Clan big wigs to leave the city?"

Justin's dad (takes a deep inhale and long exhale): "I wish I knew." (thinking to himself) "My son and his friends need to stop this. This whole vigilante thing has gone too far. People have died and they could have died a million times." A car appears. Mr. and Mrs. Brandywine are in the car.

Officer 1 (to the Brandywines): "I'm sorry, folks. The road is closed because..."

Mr. Brandywine: "Yes, we know. Can we speak to Detective Myers?"

Officer 1: "Uh... sure. Detective, this couple wants to talk to you." Detective Myers approaches the car.

Justin's dad: "What are you guys doing here?"

Steve's dad: "Our son and his friends are in grave danger."

Justin's dad: "The madman threatened to kill people if they didn't show up and surrender. What the f-k would you do differently?!" He cleared his throat. "Look, they know what they're doing here."

Steve's mom: "They could get killed out there even if they surrender. What if that guy is trigger happy?" Justin's dad stares at the road and he rushed to his car.

Act 2 Scene 30: Near the entrance of the Headless Dragon Clan headquarters.

Tank-driving assassin: "Almost there, boys."

Justin (to the assassin): "Why are you doing this?"

Tank-driving assassin: "None of your damn business! Stop talking and keep moving!" Tohru (the ninja that joined The Ninjas' side is watching over the trees.

Tohru (to himself): "Sasuke, you have entered the demon's lair. I doubt that this will pleasantly." Tohru saw more than one flash of light. "What the f-k was that?" Then, he realized something. "It can't be. Can it?"

Tank-driving assassin (hears a car heading towards the tank): "Huh?!" The tank cannon moves away from The Ninjas and points it at the police car. "Some d-khead is trying to play hero." The Ninjas see the police car.

Justin: "No, Dad! Get out of here! You're going to get killed!" The tank-driving assassin aims and fires at Justin's dad. He misses. Justin gets on top of the tank. "You bastard!" Justin starts punching the man. Sasuke and Steve try to stop him. "Get the f-k off of me, boys!"

Tank-driving assassin: "Bad move." He points and fires at Justin's dad again. Detective Kevin Myers' car explodes and kills him instantly.

Justin (yells): "Dad, no!" Both Sasuke and Steve are shocked that the man shot and hit Justin's dad. Sasuke sees someone with a RPG.

Sasuke (to Steve): "Steve, get Justin! We're leaving!"

Steve (to Sasuke): "Right!" Steve grabs the shattered  Justin and run away. The person with the RPG fires at the tank and kills the tank-driving assassin.

Act 2 Scene 31: The Headless Dragon Clan headquarters.

Al (to Dylan and Thomas): "Boys, today we made history. A toast."

End of Act 2. RIP Det. Kevin Myers. Father of Justin Myers.
