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."

Act 4 Scene 5: Outside Brandywine Manor. 6:34 pm. The Ninjas are with the ninja survivors.

Tohru: "About time. I was itching for revenge."

Lady Mayumi: "Everything is ready. Tonight, we put our lives on the line for this city."

Sasuke (to Lady Mayumi): "Right. Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Time to go."

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.

The Shadow's Strategy

Act 3 Scene 20: May 14th. Sasuke's safehouse. The Ninjas and the surviving members of Sasuke's clan are preparing the next move against the Headless Dragon Clan.

Lady Mayumi: "The Headless Dragon Clan will surely do a head-on attack and destroy Oceanview in a matter of days."

Tohru: "The corrupt citizens will do whatever it takes to protect the main 3. They are willing to protect their dark secrets. However, if Al destroys the city, he will probably throw every single corrupt citizen under the bus."

Steve (to Tohru): "Are you saying that we should make a deal with them? That's suicide! They are loyal to their higher ups. They are completely brainwashed."

Justin: "Maybe Sasuke should think of an idea."

Sasuke: "Oh, I don't know..."

Justin (to Sasuke): "Sasuke, The Headless Dragon Clan took everything away from us. Your clan's legacy, your father, my father, Steve's parents, both our homes, Steve's brother's innocence and you don't have a plan. Why do you say that?!"

Sasuke: "Because everyone... I fear that my plan could lead to a darker path. A path that no one can walk away from. None of us have blood on our hands. I would like to keep that blood away from our hands."

Steve: "It's just the Headless Dragon Clan. They are nothing but monsters in human clothing."

Lady Mayumi: "That is true."

Sasuke (angry): "Steve and Justin! I can't believe I trained you guys to be murderers! Lady Mayumi, you have to agree with me that this f-ked up."

Lady Mayumi: "Oceanview and our surviving members will finally have closure if every Headless Dragon Clan monsters die."

Sasuke: "My father and the elders saw something in me that the others never saw. Yes, I engage in hand-to hand combat. There was one thing that made me different."

Steve: "What's that? Let me guess... Tohru knows."

Tohru: "I was a violent troublemaker. Sasuke would see a wounded or dead animal and would start to cry. I called him a p-y, but he would cry louder. Ninjas never show emotions to their enemies, but he would."

Justin: "Sometimes, I forget these things."

Steve: "After almost dying at the hands of Dylan, I realize that you didn't want to kill him. You wanted to reason with him."

Sasuke: "I know it's messed up. Reasoning will never work especially when there are lives on the line. I still think that there is a non-fatal strategy; I know there is one in my head."

Lady Mayumi: "Instead of one mind, we get help from everyone here." All the ninjas appear. Sasuke, Justin, Steve and Tohru prepare to write down every ninja's idea on pen and paper.

Sasuke: "Boys, this is not going to be easy."

Justin and Steve: "We can handle it." Tohru nods a "yes" gesture. Sasuke smiles.

The End... for now.

The Psycho's Birth

Act 3 Scene 16: A couple of minutes after Dylan Martyr set the HDC-hired ninja home on fire. Dylan walks to the car he came on before.

Corrupt Citizen 3: "Where to, sir?"

Dylan: "Home. Make it snappy before I snap your neck like the last guy." The corrupt citizen takes a hard swallow and starts the car. The fire trucks appeared to get to the fire Dylan started. The firefighters ignored Dylan's car.

Corrupt Citizen 3: "Don't worry, Mr. Martyr. Mr. Chapman said he will have a doctor ready to look at those wounds for you."

Dylan: "F-king wonderful." Dylan starts to look out his window. (thinking) "This stretch of road reminds me of something. Yeah, that's right. I was born here."

Act 3 Scene 17: 29 years ago. The following narration will be spoken by Dylan Martyr.

Dylan (narrating): "A long ago time, my parents and my older brother, Eric were rushing to the hospital because Mommy was pregnant with me. My father wasn't going to stop for anything even the cops. My mother was in serious pain and they were nowhere close to the hospital. A deer came out of nowhere and the car hit the deer. Thus, by ending the life of brain-dead animal, I was born in the most unusual way. 911 was called and eventually we did make it to the hospital."

Dylan's father (to Dylan): "Hi, son. I am your daddy and this is your mommy. And... Eric what are you doing? Drop that scalpel right now, young man!"

Eric: "Okay, okay, sorry." Eric grabs the scalpel with no one looking.

Dylan (narrating): "My brother was interesting in his own unique way. Time to fast forward."

Act 3 Scene 18: Dylan is 7 years old. A heavily wooded area. The day is very cloudy and Eric wants to show him something.

Eric (to Dylan): "C'mon, squirt. We're almost there."

Dylan (to Eric): "I'm trying." (narrating) "He tells me to stop and shows me a dead human body."

Eric (to Dylan): "Pretty cool, huh?" Eric starts to poke the body with a stick.

Dylan (narrating): "I wasn't sure what to tell him." (to Eric) "Who is it?"

Eric: "Don't know. Probably some piece of crap that was under-looked." Eric still continued to play with the dead body.

Dylan (narrating): "Over the years, my parents drove me and Eric to school. My brother got into trouble with staff and students. I made sure to do my schoolwork. My mother helped me study while my brother was scolded by my father. One day changed my family forever."

Act 3 Scene 19: Dylan is 15 years old. Eric is reading newspaper. The front page is a story of missing woman. Their parents aren't in the house.

Dylan (to Eric): "Eric..." Eric makes a hmm sound. "Do you think that girl will be found?"

Eric (to Dylan): "Let me show you something."

Dylan (narrating): "The missing girl was in his room this whole time. Long story short, parents saw the missing girl. Brother went to jail, girl's family sued us, I go nuts and wind up following in my brother's footsteps, parents put me in the crazy house and never came back. The rest is history and now you know."

The End... for Now.

A Shadow's Lineage part 2

Act 3 Scene 14: The Headless Dragon Clan headquarters. Al is on the phone with one of the corrupt citizens. Thomas is a couple of feet from the phone.

Al (on the phone): "Excellent. Keep me posted on the details." Al hangs up. (to Thomas) "Dylan made it to our former hired help's residence."

Thomas: "I'm surprised we're still alive. That psycho could've killed us a million times, but he never did. Why is that?"

Al: "Simple, Thomas. It was the way his brother taught him."

Thomas: "I don't follow."

Al: "You will know soon enough once Dylan kills them all."

Act 3 Scene 15: Back at the former HDC-hired ninjas' hidden home in the woods. The Ninjas are outside of the house. Sasuke, Justin and Steve are in their battle stances and are ready for Dylan's first move.

Sasuke (to Justin): "How is your wound?"

Justin (to Sasuke): "I'm sure manage, Sasuke. Our family's killers will pay dearly."

Steve: "My little brother only has me left. I won't allow myself to die at the hands of this nut job." Dylan and the corrupt citizens charge towards The Ninjas. The Ninjas stay perfectly still. The former HDC ninjas pounce the corrupt citizens. Dylan leaps and kicks Sasuke in the chest.

Steve and Justin: "Sasuke!"

Dylan (laughs): "Pay attention to your enemy, boys!" Justin and Steve both throw kunai knives at Dylan. He dodges them and starts shooting at them. "Nice try; you 3 have to do better than that."

Sasuke: "Very well, then." Sasuke attempts to engage in close quarters combat. Dylan laughs and blocks with ease. Dylan kicks Sasuke in the stomach.

Justin (to Dylan): "You bastard! I'll f-king murder you!" Justin throws a rock and knocks Dylan in the head. Dylan feels blood on his head. Dylan slowly walks towards Justin. "Stay back, you psycho!"

Steve: "Leave him alone!" Dylan sees Steve about to attack him. He throws a hidden throwing knife at Steve, but Sasuke intercepts it with his left arm. "Sasuke, you saved me."

Sasuke: "I lost my father and the elders. You two lost your parents. I never want to see you guys die."

Dylan: "Touching. You can all share the same gravestone." He starts swinging chains. The Ninjas charge towards Dylan. All 3 strike at Dylan. Dylan falls.

Sasuke: "We beat him." Dylan was faking and he starts choking Justin and Steve with the chains. "No, let them go!" The other ninjas charge toward Dylan.

Dylan: "I don't think so. You know, you all never knew my life. My brother was my teacher and he taught me clever ways to kill the wicked."

Sasuke: "You're a sick man! I'll..."

Dylan (still choking Justin and Steve): "You'll what?! Kill me?! They were dead before the chains wrapped around their necks." Justin and Steve slowly grabs kunai knives and quickly stabbed Dylan in the arms. Dylan screams in pain. Justin and Steve manage to escape. Dylan starts tearing up.

Sasuke: "We need to get out of here, boys! Everyone, fall back!" All ninjas escape.

Corrupt Citizen 1: "Dylan, we'll get you help." Dylan loses it and snaps the corrupt citizen's neck. Dylan grabs a flamethrower and torches the HDC ninjas' home.

Dylan (yelling): "I'll kill every single one of you motherf-kers!!! You hear me!!!"

The End.. for now.

A Shadow's Lineage

Act 3 Scene 11: A wooden area just 20 miles from Oceanview. Sasuke, Steve, and Tohru stop on top of a tree. Steve told his little brother to stay with the Andrews siblings. The letter told them to go to a hidden house in the woods.

Tohru: "This is the area, guys. Whoever wrote this is either our friend or we just walked into a trap."

Steve: "I don't care anymore. Al and the Headless Dragon Clan is going to pay dearly for taking my parents away from me and my brother."

Sasuke (to Steve): "That attitude is going to kill you. You need to calm down."

Steve (to Sasuke): "Don't tell me to calm down. Your nightmare is already over. Why are you still here?! You could've followed Al to Japan and stopped him before this happened!"

Tohru (to Steve): "Steve, keep your voice down. Ninjas must be..." The Headless Dragon Clan-hired ninjas appear from the trees and the grass and they outnumber them. (finished his sentence quietly) "... silent."

Male Ninja 1: "Friend or foe?"

Sasuke: "What?"

Female Ninja 1: "He said, "Friend or foe?" Answer the question quickly or you will die." Sasuke, Steve and Tohru start to tighten their muscles and prepare to attack.

Sasuke: "F..."

Justin(interrupts Sasuke): "They're friends! Don't kill them!"

Steve: "Justin..." The Headless Dragon-hired ninjas lower their weapons. The female ninja removes her mask.

Female Ninja 1: "The 3 of you follow us to our home."

Act 3 Scene 12: The Headless Dragon Clan headquarters. Al is on phone and is trying to contact his ninjas.

Al (on the phone): "Come in, ninjas. Do you read me? Respond. That's an order." He throws his phone at Thomas Nelson Tyson.

Thomas: "What's going on?"

Al: "Our ninjas seem to have resigned from our organization." (to Dylan) "Dylan?" Dylan Martyr appears.

Dylan: "Yes, Al."

Al (coldly): "Go hunting. You know where your prey is." Dylan laughs evilly.

Act 3 Scene 13: The Headless Dragon Clan-hired Ninjas' secret home which is an abandoned house in the middle of the woods. Sasuke and Steve told Justin about the deaths of Steve's parents.

Justin: "I can't believe it. Al doesn't plan on killing us. He wants to us to kill each other or commit suicide. He won."

Steve: "My brother is scarred for life because of him. I would need to keep a close eye on him if he plans on hanging himself in the future."

Tohru (to Justin): "This may be off-topic, but how did you survive the gunfire from the prison riot?"

Justin: "They (the HDC ninjas) grabbed me, took me here and were very careful to make sure to get the bullets out of my body as painlessly as possible." The female ninja appears.

Tohru: "I know you. You're Mayumi Ito. One of the surviving teachers of the massacre years ago."

Mayumi: " That's right. Please forgive us, Sasuke. We all had no choice. The Headless Dragon Clan's new boss gave us an ultimatum. It was either join him and destroy Oceanview or live the rest of our lives with no home."

Sasuke: "You all are forgiven. Al needs to be stopped. We all have lost something important from Al, from Kohta and from everyone who shut us down." More ninjas appear.

Male Ninja 2: "We will be at your side, Sasuke. You and your new family here will never lose any more loved ones for as long as you live." The silent alarm went off.

Female Ninja 2: "Lady Mayumi, Dylan is here and he brought friends." Dylan is a couple of feet from the house.

Dylan: "To the ninjas we hired, you made Al very upset with your betrayal and you will be punished. Finally to the Ninjas, come outside and you will be reunited with your loved ones in their new home... IN THE F-KING DIRT!!!"

To be continued...
