A Town's Hidden War

Act 4 Scene 3: May 23rd. 6:00 pm. The Headless Dragon Clan secret headquarters. Al Chapman Jr. is looking at his "father" memorial. He then puts his gun in his holster and grabs his katana blade and puts in its holster.

Al (to his "father's" statue): "Sorry, Father. I going to need this sword as well." He grabs the other katana and does the same.

Dylan (to Al): "Everything is ready. So, this is it, huh? The final showdown and the fate of Oceanview are all happening today and onward."

Al (to Dylan): "Indeed." Al calls Thomas on his phone. (to Thomas) "Thomas, is everything ready?"

Thomas (on phone): "Affirmative. I'm ready on this end. I'll be rolling out shortly."

Al (to Thomas): "Excellent. This plan must not fail. You understand?"

Thomas (to phone): "Yes, sir." The phone cuts out. Dylan prepares for a bloodbath of epic proportions.

Dylan: "I'm so happy that you can't imagine."

Al (to Dylan): "It's been a real honor having you join our ranks, Dylan."

Dylan (to Al): "You make it sound like we're lose." Al leaves the room.

Al (thinking): "The Ninjas have been a thorn in my side for too long. This final standoff will determine everything. The town and everyone's fate will be in my hands. I've chosen to accept my new status as a judge, jury and destroyer of this scar-hiding glamour town."

Act 4 Scene 4: Brandywine Manor. The Ninjas are with Donald and some of the students of Oceanview High.

Sasuke (to Donald): "I promise you that I will protect your brother from any threats. Do you accept my promise?"

Donald: "Yes."

Sasuke: "Good." (to Justin and Steve) "All right, boys. Let's get started." (to all non-ninja personnel) "Attention, everyone. Thank you all for coming. We would like to have a few words."

Steve (to everyone): "Tonight will going to be very dangerous. Do not leave this place. If you leave this place, it's your fault. The cops will not accept any defiance."

Justin (to everyone): "Any signs of danger occurs here, you all get into the bunker no questions asked. Is that clear?"

Everyone: "Yes."

Sasuke: "Excellent." (to everyone) "Goodbye." Sasuke throws a smoke bomb and all 3 disappear into the smoke.

Donald: "The Ninjas will save us. I'm sure of it."

The Shadows' Hard Decisions

Act 4 Scene 1: May 19th. Sasuke's safehouse. Every single ninja is preparing for all-out attack against The Headless Dragon Clan.

Justin (to Sasuke): "This is really it. The point of no return is upon us."

Sasuke (to Justin): "Yup, the following events will change everything once and for all."

Steve (to Sasuke and Justin): "There will be a lot of people who are willing to fight the opposing side. A good amount of them are going to be people we see at the mall, restaurants, school, and neighborhoods."

Sasuke and Justin: "Yup." Lady Mayumi and Tohru appear.

Lady Mayumi: "We're all ready. We await your command, Sasuke." Donald (Steve's little brother) appears.

Donald (to everyone): "You just going to leave." Donald starts to slowly cry. Steve comforts his brother.

Steve (to Donald): "The town needs our help. The Headless Dragon Clan won't rest until everyone is dead. Do you understand?"

Donald: "It was already too late to save Mom and Dad." Donald's head lowers.

Steve: "Donny..." Donald leaves the safehouse.

Justin: "Is he going to the cemetery?"

Steve: "I think so."

Act 4 Scene 2: Oceanview Cemetery. A couple of minutes later. Donald stares at his parents' gravesite. The Ninjas appear.

Steve (to Donald): "I knew you were going to be here."

Donald (to Steve): "Mom and Dad's last words to us was "Good bye". They weren't supposed to die that way. Why did that have to happen?"

Steve (to Donald): "I wish I knew." The remaining ninjas appear.

Donald (to everyone): "So I guess this is it, huh? The last time I get to see my big brother before he goes to war and dies. Go on then. Leave!!!" He then starts to get upset. Lady Mayumi gives Donald a hug.

Lady Mayumi (to Donald): "This is hard for everyone, little one. We want to protect everyone in the town. However, you need to support us in the town's time of need. It's not just the traditional soldier that fights for their values; it's also the people who fight in the soldier's shadows to help them out."

Sasuke (to Donald): "We all have to make hard decisions, Donny. Pretty soon, you need to do the same for yourself. Your parents are still with you no matter what."

All surviving ninjas (together): "We will all protect this city and its citizens!!!" Donny runs to his big brother and hugs him. Everyone smiles and applauds.

The End... for now.

The Enemy's Dark Ritual

Act 3 Scene 21: May 16. The Headless Dragon Clan Headquarters. Al Chapman Jr., Dylan Martyr and Thomas Nelson Tyson are in a meeting. Dylan is in restrains and two corrupt citizens are feeding him.

Al (to the citizens feeding Dylan): "Leave us." The corrupt citizens don't say anything and just leave.

Thomas (to Al): "It's like I don't see their pupils anymore. You sucked their souls out of their bodies. It's amazing that they stay loyal to us." Thomas looks at Dylan. "Now I know why."

Al (to Thomas): "This town, along with so many others, are filled with dark, little secrets. It just takes someone like me to use and manipulate all dark secrets against everyone."

Dylan: "I love it. It's so fun. I killed someone and they didn't even scream."

Al (to Dylan): "It's only a matter of time before The Ninjas show themselves again. You and I will have the privilege to kill all 3 of them." Thomas feels uneasy.

Thomas: "I'm sorry. I need to excuse myself." Thomas leaves the room.

Dylan: "That was weird. What's his deal?"

Al: "I don't know, Dylan. I'll talk to him later. I'll get to the bottom of this situation."

Act 3 Scene 22: Thomas' room. He locks his door and sits on his chair.

Thomas (thinking): "I really don't feel safe. Al is the mastermind. Dylan is a rabid dog. The citizens on our side are pretty much lobotomized slaves. I really don't know what to do..." A knock on the door stopped Thomas' thought.

Al (on the other side of the door): "Thomas?"

Thomas (nervous): "Uh... yeah?"

Al: "I've done some thinking and I think there's something wrong with you."

Thomas: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Al: "If you let me in, I can actually talk to you eye-to-eye." Thomas starts to get more worried. Thomas quickly grabs his gun and slowly unlocks his door.

Thomas: "You can come in now, Al." Al opens the door and Thomas quickly points the gun at Al. (to Al) "I don't want to die, Al! I am scared of you and Dylan. As a matter of fact, I'm scared of you the most because you made me break a crazy animal (Dylan) out of the nuthouse!"

Al (calmly): "You're afraid that you will end up like our army, right?" Thomas can't speak; he just shocked to see Al's calm demeanor and no gun or katana in his hand. "Understand this, you are an important part of this whole thing. Do you want to leave?"

Thomas (still scared): "N... n... no..." Thomas is still hold his gun. "The Ninjas must suffer. It's their fault that they ruined so many people's lives and reputations."

Al: "So, you're staying?" Thomas nods a "yes". "Good. I'll leave you alone to your thoughts." Al closes the door. He hears Thomas lock the door. Al walks away. As Al walks away, he smiles in a scary way. (thinking) "This city will burn and The Ninjas will die."

End of Act 3.
