es of static-like noises and sparks are heard over a black screen. A high-frequency engine screech echoes over the sound of a fizzing fuse.)

(BAM! First-person eyes open the camera lens, looking up at smoke billowing into the gray-blue skies. The camera looks to the left.)

(KABOOM!! Some kind of flare goes off, leaving an electric spark. The camera rolls to the side, rapidly, before shakily getting up. Mig hastily pats himself down, finding his scorched arms covered in rubble dust and nasty abrasions. The ground around him is a crater caked with ash, dotted with bonfires and destroyed vehicles burning with them. The sky has gotten darker.)



(Suddenly, Mig spots Rashard behind one of the fires. Gasping, he rushes over and drags his unconscious body out of the underside of a speeder. A deep gash is embedded into his hip from a broken speeder handle, bleeding profusely. Mig takes off his scorched shirt and applies pressure to the wound...)

[Rashard]: *(GASP)* AAH!! AAGH...

(His agonized screams wheeze off into silence and he passes out again. Mig looks up as if he remembers something, and leaves Rashard with the shirt. He walks over to the edge of the crater and attempts to climb up - loud rumbling is heard as he slips on the unstable pile of debris making a steep barrier between the dip in the landscape and the rest of the street.)

(Mig walks over to a crashed car and feels his hand heat up internally before tearing off a metal strip from the back, and also removing the license plate. He walks back over to the wall of debris and jams the metal piece into the junk about two feet off the ground.)

(Grunting in pain, he heaves his weight and climbs up the makeshift ledge. Still having several feet to go, Mig leaps up and pries the license plate into a gap midair, hanging on and climbing his legs up the wall. He lifts himself up off the license plate before grabbing onto a metal railing from the park's border.)

(Mig pulls himself up to the top of the street and rolls over, crawling weakly through the collapsed road and picking himself up.)

[Mig]: Milo?!

(Wiping dust from his eyes, he cautiously but hastily makes his way over to the burning shop. Panting, he blasts the main door aside and goes inside.)

[Mig]: MILO!

(He stops screaming and looks to the side. A small, charred corpse lies beside a table. Mig breathes shakily while his eyes begin to glisten. He hurries over and crouches down, timidly turning the body around. It's Milo alright, still looking like a sleeping puppy in the position he rests in. His abdominal fur remains while the areas around his back are burnt and skinned, caked with powdery dust. Mig, noticing the "sleeping" position as well, decides not the approach and sits on his knees, tearing up and panting softly.)

[Mig]: (Softly) You were the only good that was left... (Sniffles) I'm... (Pants shakily) I'm sorry it ended like this for you.

(Mig bends down and buries his upper face in his palms, still panting in soft, shaky breaths while quietly weeping underneath.

[Mig]: (Crying quietly) I'm so sorry...

(His cries are heard in the side while the camera watches Milo rest, the image slowly blurred by the smoke from the fire.)

(Cut to Rashard's unconscious body, asleep at the edge of the crater and surrounded by smoldering fires. The camera pans up to see Mig making his way back to the edge. He stops. The camera moves over to his perspective, watching Rashard scornfully and deciding if he should let him live.)

(Mig starts a fire in his right palm and looks at it, opening and closing his palm slightly to play with the shape of the flame. He then exhales, grits his teeth and closes his fist, putting out the flame. He pants and jumps down.)

(Mig approaches Rashard, still panting slowly. He moves his arm and takes the shirt away - it's already soaked in blood. He places the cloth to the side and inspects the wound. It looks as though an axe was used to attack him. Mig winces slightly at the torn-up pieces of flesh surrounding the blood puddle.)

(He lights flames on his fingertips and holds them close to the wound as it melts away some of the additional blood and dirt. Rashard smells the smoke and gasps loudly, waking up again. He tiredly squints over to Mig and goes wide-eyed when he spots the flame. Mig puts it out.)

[Rashard]: (Groan) W-Wh...What are you doing?

[Mig]: The... the wound-

[Rashard]: What wound?

(Mig directs his eyes to Rashard's hip and Rashard weakly leans forward to look over. Mig pushes him back to keep his body steady while Rashard looks away in horror.)

[Rashard]: Agh, shit!

[Mig]: I know. It... it looks about two inches deep, at least. You'd have lost at least a bloody gallon by now.

[Rashard]: W-will I make it?

[Mig]: Well... (Sigh) I'd say we've been out for roughly twenty minutes, more or less. I got lucky, just landed in a little pile o' shit back there. You, on the other hand...

[Rashard]: Yeah, I asked if I'll live.

[Mig]: (Exhale) Right. At this rate, I'd say you've got about a half-hour left before you bleed out. (Inspects wound)

[Rashard]: Anything to change that?

[Mig]: Yeah, I was just coming up with an idea. Just that you won't like it.

[Rashard]: Try me.

[Mig]: Cauterizing it? (Lights flame on hand)

[Rashard]: OKAY, that's-

(Before he can finish, Mig clasps his left hand to Rashard's mouth.)

[Mig]: Hold tight, mate!

(He sizzles a flame on the wound and Rashard lets out a series of loud, intense and muffled screams. He flails his limbs around while Mig uses his arms and knees to keep Rashard down. He releases the flame when Rashard takes a swing at him. Mig blocks him and takes his hand off, giving Rashard some breathing time.

[Mig]: Alright, one more time.

[Rashard]: Uh-uh. (Shakes his head emphatically)

[Mig]: Okay, ready. You've got this.

[Rashard]: I DON'T FU-

(Mig shuts Rashard up again and blasts a flame, harder this time. The gash seals up with all the sparks and blood drying up. Mig feels his left hand become uncomfortable from Rashard's screaming and biting and pulls it away - Rashard looks up in the air and lets out a long, sustained and truly agonized yell. Mig puts out the flame and lets Rashard pant. He continues to grimace while trying to move.)

(Mig grabs the cloth and asks Rashard to sit up. Rashard continues to wince and let out varied, loud and odd grunts while Mig ties the shirt around Rashard's waist as a tourniquet.)

[Mig]: Okay, all done. Get up.

(Rashard looks up with an "are you kidding me" face before panting in agony and sitting up. Slowly but surely he stands upright, limping over to Mig's ledges.)

(Mig effortlessly climbs up. Rashard, meanwhile, weakly attempts to climb up, but falls back. He looks up at Mig, confused as to why he isn't helping. He tries climbing with more stamina but succumbs to the pain. However, he notices his palms having turned to metal...)

(He gets back, takes a deep breath, and then clutches the metal with both his hands. Screaming, he feels his body and muscles contract into a steel form, With his hip having turned into a dent. Embracing his first full-body transformation, Rashard leaps up to the license plate ledge and grabs onto the park railing. It bends but Rashard hoists himself up.)

[Mig]: There we go.

(Rashard pants but his voice sounds all robotic and "metallic" through his morphed vocal chords. He gets all stiff and clenches his fists, feeling his body soften and fade into a more organic state. He looks at his hip - it's now a small cave-in in the middle of a large scar.)

[Mig]: Would you look at that, you can heal.

[Rashard]: (Exhale) That felt great. (Mig nods) You know, I think you enjoyed watching me scream like that.

[Mig]: Well, for starters you murdered my-

[Rashard]: I did NOT kill your dog.

[Mig]: How about we just not talk-

[Rashard]: No, I... I was confused I... listen to me.

[Mig]: Why?

[Rashard]: I-I think I know how we find what really killed your little Milo.

[Mig]: We already have. Burning in that pit.

[Rashard]: NO, dammit! Something was controlling the vehicles.

[Mig]: How do you know that?

[Rashard]: They were moving around in a pattern. A certain group of them would drive around before stopping and the power moved to the next group. We've both seen the condition of this place, and I don't think there should be any electricity here.

[Mig]: What about that... that lightning in the sky?

[Rashard]: I could see some sort of... glass in the sky every time it hit. I'm guessing it has something to do with all of this.

[Mig]: Then where do we start?

[Rashard]: I don't know, maybe tell each other our names first?

[Mig]: (Exhales, goes over to shake Rashard's hand) I'm Mig.

[Rashard]: (Hesitates for a moment before shaking hand) Rashard. Don't ask me how I know that.

(Rashard looks a bit uncomfortable and then turns around, rubbing his temples.)

[Rashard]: Actually, this is... this is a terrible idea. I shouldn't even trust you right now!

[Mig]: Whoa, we just settled one beef-

[Rashard]: And you think I can't take more?!

[Mig]: Alright, who do you feel is thinking straighter here?

[Rashard]: It was my mistake looking for others. I can survive on my own.

[Mig]: (Starts walking towards him) You cannot! Do you have any idea-

(Mig reaches for Rashard's shoulder but Rashard grabs his arm and attempts to twist it. Mig lands a blazing jab on Rashard's stomach, grabs his head and throws it into a wall. He uses his forearms to pin him there.)

[Mig]: You listen to me right now.

[Rashard]: (Gags) NO! (Attempts to break free)

[Mig]: (Grabs Rashard's arm and starts heating up the metal) Our world has gone to complete hell and back. How we survived is beyond both of us.

[Rashard]: (Screaming) We can figure that out on our own. (Shoves arm forward)

[Mig]: (Shoves Rashard's arm back) NO, we can't! That's my point! We can't go ten steps without being torn apart by whatever's out there!

[Rashard]: We're strong.

[Mig]: Clearly not strong enough! Listen, death was inevitable to every bloody person that set foot here. Just because we defied it once doesn't mean we get a longer stay of execution! For all we've seen it's been shortened!

[Rashard]: (Panting) (Talking slowly and heavily) What we have allows us to defy death as much as we want.

[Mig]: Until we get reckless! You're unstable.

[Rashard]: WE'RE ALL UNSTABLE, FOR GOD'S SAKE!

(Mig releases Rashard and shoves him onto the street.)

[Mig]: Then why don't we put everything aside, just for now. We need each other to make it through this, then we're free.

[Rashard]: (Panting) (Hesitates) (Punches the ground, gets up) Fine. What do you remember?

[Mig]: Remember? (Scoffs) English. That's it. What the world looked like, what it felt like... all just (gestures with hand) Poof. I have no idea what happened.

[Rashard]: (Nods) What did you see when you woke up?

[Mig]: (Starts walking) Nothing, just... black. I could hear all sorts of things before I opened my eyes, then I suddenly find myself in a big bloody hospital, peddling around with a dog and starting big-arse fires everywhere. It all just... just came to me, slowly.

[Rashard]: I was in a tunnel. Just haunted by voices in my head. Kept trying to climb out before I realized what I could do. Complete fucking life-saver and I have no idea where it comes from.

[Mig]: (Chuckles) Jeez, you're riled up. Anything you remember before that?

[Rashard]: As far as I'm concerned, I was born today.

(Suddenly, they stop walking when a car moves. It crashes into the side of a building before the lights go out. The two watch as more speeders begin to move on the side, then stop before a further section vehicles animate and continue on.)

[Rashard]: Right there, that's what I'm talking about. Some kind of power trigger.

[Mig]: I'll follow it, you try to catch up.

[Rashard]: Wait.

(Mig is about to set his hands on fire when he stops and looks.)

[Rashard]: We're doing this once, only so we can survive on our own. I'm the one that saw the most, so you need to do exactly as I say.

[Mig]: I can't guarantee that. We need to work together.

[Rashard]: (Exhales, clenches fists) Let's start with the power surge, see where it goes.

[Mig]: Got it.

(BOOM!! Mig launches jets of fire from his hands and feet and goes rocketing forward. He lands on the hood of a car, crushing it slightly, and watches more and more cars and bikes go crazy.)

(Rashard sprints over before making a mace with an iron fist and crushing a hole into the ground.)

[Mig]: May I ask what you're muckin' about with over there?

[Rashard]: I'm thinking there's some kind of power network below us! Gonna go check it out!

[Mig]: Alright, you go down there, I'll follow up above!

(Rashard hops down below. Mig, meanwhile, leaps up again, gliding forward and keeping an eye on the vehicles. Suddenly, a speeder bike is seen exploding against an oil rig, which starts to charge headfirst into a building...)

(Rashard is walking through a dark, collapsed and crumbling labyrinth of cobwebs and dust clouds forming from the cracked ground. Steel holsters on the walls secure a series of transparent wires lining the entire tunnel. Every once in a while, an electric sound is heard and the power lines light up blue.)

[Rashard]: So that's what this is...

(He suddenly winces and clutches his head as flashing images of the intact futuristic city cycle through his head.)

(BOOM!!!! Rashard looks up while the entire area trembles violently. The skyscraper above has collapsed and is crumbling the entire upper pipeline. Rashard dives forward, now trapped underground with wreckage behind him.)

[Rashard]: (Looks back) No, no, no...

(He absorbs the pipeline and clears through more fog using steel fanblades on his hands. He then meets a light shaft, beyond which lies a deep, ominous-looking stretch of a tunnel. He takes a moment to look through before advancing...)

(PEW! PEW! PEW! A series of blue lines spark through the tunnel in a sequence. Heading out into the distance. Rashard sprints after it.)

(As the power surges travel below, more cars on the upper streets start randomly crashing into each other, with the traffic jam accumulating sequentially down the street. CRASH!! Mig is nearly T-boned by one car and ends up surrounded by a pile of vehicles. He blasts them aside and parkours over the hoods of the cars.)

(He uses his fire jets to advance forward, landing on the side of a building. He runs sideways around the corner and jets straight forward through the air... the camera zooms out on him from behind... he's flying straight towards a building whose windows are entirely sparking and flashing with blue.)

[Mig]: Oh my god...

(Rashard is bolting through the dark tunnel, until he stops. He sees blue light flashing in the distance.)

(KABOOM!!!! Sparks fly everywhere and an entire section of the tunnel's ceiling collapses, forming a makeshift ramp of debris. Rashard approaches extremely cautiously...)

(EEEK!!! An extremely high-pitched squeak is heard from the ground, following by a crunch. Rashard looks to the side - visible through the darkness is the corpse of a rat smashed against the wall by Rashard's startled foot... except the body is decaying instantly, and burning through a portion of the wall.)

(Rashard grimaces in confusion and disgust and bolts for the debris. BOOM! CLANG! Crowbars and large boxes fall over the edge. Rashard dodges it and makes it inside.)

(Under the cloudy night sky, Mig stands dumbfounded at the sight ahead of him, with the deep blue, almost "neon" sense of light accenting the otherwise gray and barren tone of the fallen surroundings. Mig hears some loud rumbling from below.)

(BOOM!! He blasts the glass door aside. He advances inside, with the fire illuminating the sight of a large, modern-looking lobby. Mig hears some loud banging on the right and charges through a door, where he finds a large, tall hallway full of entries to rooms all marked "power room storage".)

(Rashard is looking around this room when he suddenly sees a small fuse-like fire approaching the door. BOOM!! The door blasts aside. The ensuing fire reveals a table with a few items on it, including a flashlight. Rashard grabs it and narrowly makes it through the doorway.)

(He finds himself in a gigantic room populated by rows of box-like servers everywhere.)

(KABOOM!!! The earlier fire has caught onto an upper part of the room. A few power lines collapse and electricity zaps everything. Rashard looks up and sees a room mounted off the upper wall of the server area... through the windows stands Mig. The two spot each other before a barrier of electricity cuts them off.)

(Rashard jumps backwards and gets back up.)

[Mig]: HEY!!! CAN YOU SEE ME?

[Rashard]: Yeah, we're cut off!

[Mig]: Where the hell are we?

[Rashard]: It looks like some sort of computer lab! Or a server storage area!

(Mig looks behind him.)

[Mig]: Holy shit...

(A window is present overlooking the city. Far out in the reaches of the area is a gigantic surge of lightning expanding from an industrial power-tower building. All the other buildings nearby are lit up from the inside, traveling in a line all the way to the lab.)



[Mig]: There's another source to all this!

[Rashard]: What?

[Mig]: Out there! It's a bigger surge, and the power fluctuation is affecting us all the way here!

[Rashard]: Hang on! I saw that the power lines continue underground! If it does go all throughout the city and whatever you're seeing keeps it connected...

[Mig]: That's the hub, th-the plant! So... so if we cut off its key connection here...

[Rashard]: ...Then with enough brute force the surge we send back will overload the source! (Pause) It's just that we have a lot to destroy.

[Mig]: (Smirks) We can do that, can't we?

(Cut to a wide aerial shot of the city panning forward. More "thunder" strikes through the sky, while the line of buildings powered by the surge from the power plant start to go out. The computer lab, meanwhile, is under heavy fire and chaos. All hell is breaking loose.)

(Mig is seen blasting out one of the power units, which sparks through the ceiling and collapses an entire wall. Mig gets back while a generator explodes, creating heavy collateral damage. Down below, Rashard backhands a server with his metal fist.)

(KABOOM!! Another server box explodes when a generator falls on it. Others get electrocuted on impact. Rashard then comes face to face with an enormous server tower. Mig, meanwhile, is facing the main outlet generator installed on a wall.)

[Mig]: I guess we've both met our big boys!

[Rashard]: I think we can create a large enough surge if we destroy both at once!

[Mig]: Alright, it's on your count!

[Rashard]: (Powers up metal fists) Three!

(Mig lights his entire arms on fire.)

[Rashard]: Two!

(They both punch their fists together.)

[Rashard]: ONE!

(Together they pull back and charge.)

(KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not one, but two explosions erupt from the computer lab, one being yellow-red and the other being electric blue. Rashard's metallic hands conduct an electrical charge and send him flying backwards, while Mig's entire body is seen glowing red and giving off a halo-like burst of fire. The powered buildings collapse while the windows in others shatter. The line of destruction follows its way back to the power plant....)

(CRASH!!!!!!!!!!! The "lightning" from the sky literally recoils and deflects back on the power plant, which is seen bursting internally before a megamassive electrical charge erupts out the windows and shocks several buildings in the vicinity. It reaches the edge of the city, where some lightning is triggered.)

(Rashard is seen leaping from the collapsing computer lab and lands on the edge of a building, where he clambers down and lands on a street. Mig, however, clumsily blasts a weak jet of flame that sees him land hard on the concrete, injuring his arms. The two get up and start walking towards the catastrophe.)

(BOOM!! Fire from atop a building erupts. A blue light is seen flashing throughout the streets.)

(ZZAP! BZZZZ!!! An electrical surge travels back and forth between the streets, zigzagging between buildings and almost teleporting.)

(It zaps a car, which moves forward several feet and crashes into a signpost. The surge approaches Mig and Rashard on the street. The two get into fighting positions...)

(The electricity attempts to attack Rashard, but he has metallic armor over his torso and arms to protect himself during the escape from the computer lab. ZING!!! The deflecting electricity collides with itself and causes a small surge, which then zaps away.)

(Rashard gasps.)

[Rashard]: HANG ON...

(He chases after the electricity, and Mig follows.)

[Mig]: What, what did you see?

[Rashard]: (Panting, gasping) A... A person!

(BOOM!!! Suddenly, he gets blasted forward by the surge, and Mig tries to defend himself but his hands get fried by electricity. They bleed while Mig falls to his knees.)

(The lightning travels from above them and forms into a frame-like shape in front of them, until it condenses and subdues itself into a contour. An almost stick figure-like electric outline of a humanoid covered by electric rings. It slowly and crookedly approaches them.)

(The two get up and stagger backwards.)

[Mig]: I-Impossible!

(The creature's voice is strange, very strange. It's extremely "broken" and "robotic", full of metallic distortions and echoes vibrating through it. It sounds more like an electronic synthesizer modified into making speech-like sounds and is full of bass, zaps and buzzes here and there.)

[Creature]: You-u-u-u-u-u-u... (the subsequent stutters gradually lower in pitch)

[Rashard]: No way...

[Creature]: Y-yo-o-u thought (distortion) tha-a-a-at you were-rrrrrr-rr (bass hum) (electric buzz) th-the o-o-o-only ones.... ALI-I-I-I-I-I (loud zap) (low growl-voice) ALIVE....

[Mig]: Wh-what are you?

[Creature]: (Bass distortion) Salva-a-a-a-a-a-a-ation... (Sparks, electric surge) (low growl) Evolution...

(Its "head" looks around the "hands" before the entire creature distorts into lightning and hurls itself at Mig and Rashard. Mig's hands are currently powerless, but Rashard leaps in front of him with metallic defenses. He's thrown into a wall while the electricity deflects into a car, destroying it and several others nearby. This causes the road to collapse slightly, with Mig falling underground.)

[Rashard]: MIG!!

(Mig gets up underground and uses his hand to cover his eyes slightly - pipelines are flickering with electricity everywhere.)

(BOOM! A surge breaks out behind him and he's thrown forward. He gets up and sees sparks of lightning crashing down through the ceiling.)

(Rashard is inching backwards while the creature begins to go berserk, zigzagging back and forth through the streets. KABOOM!!! BOOM!!! Cars behind him explode, and he's trapped behind a wall of fire.)

[Rashard]: P-please, calm down! We can help you!

[Creature]: (Zap) (Lightning surge) H-h-h-h-h-h-how... (deflects from building)

[Rashard]: There's... there's probably no one else alive! We have to help each other survive!

[Creature]: I...I-I-I... (zap) (low growl) I am be-e-e-e-e-eyond help... (surge)

(The creature charges up an electric blast...)

(Mig stands back as the power lines begin to overload.)

(He tries to ignite his hands, desperately, but barely any sparks are there.)

[Mig]: What the hell, not now!

(He starts to get incredibly tense. Suddenly, the coupling behind him explodes. He's zapped and burned by electricity. He gets up, scorched and bloodied, feeling his skin turn hot and red. His hands start to smoke while he breathes heavily.)

(BOOM!! A gentle flame ignites on his palms. Looking around and panting frantically, he cautiously approaches the power line to touch it....)

(The creature, still in humanoid form, is blasting electricity everywhere and spinning around.)

[Creature]: (Screech) (Growl) YOU... (Zap) (Static) You did this to me...

(Rashard looks totally confused, when suddenly, the electric blast from the creature's "right arm" goes out and explodes. The creature's image becomes distorted.)

(Mig is thrown back by the explosion, but gets up and sees the pipe totally destroyed. The other pipes periodically glow blue. He goes over and tries to burn out one of them, but it powers up right before he touches it.)

(Carefully, he waits until another tube goes out. BOOM! He blasts it right then. The surges stop traveling to it.)

(Rashard advances towards the creature, whose image weakens even more. He absorbs a sewer cap before pulling it out and throwing it at the creature. It gets zapped to the side but part of creature's electricity follows it.)

(BOOM!! A blast of fire shoots out of the sewer hole. Rashard runs over.)

[Rashard]: MIG?!

[Mig]: (From below) I found the pipeline! I'll burn it out, you keep that thing busy!

(BZZZZZZ!!!!!!!! Rashard is zapped out of the way. The creature shapeshifts its way over to him. Using his metal hands, Rashard strikes it. His hands suddenly feel as though they're being pulled forward. An electric zap comes sparking from it and sends both of them flying back. Rashard tumbles down the street, scorched, while the creature becomes a tiny spark that goes flying backwards screeching.)

(Rashard gets up, seeing a large scar on his chest. He limps over to a nearby lamppost and absorbs its metal, going full-body. The creature's spark-like form is coming back, expanding rapidly.)

(Mig, seeing the power regenerating, blasts another, but is zapped on the spot. Breathing heavily, he screams and destroys another exposed pipe.)

(The creature stops expanding, making all sorts of strange high-frequency distortion noises. Rashard lets out a battle cry and charges at it.)

(The creature blasts back at him, but Rashard, using metal as a conductor of electricity, absorbs it as well and returns with a supercharged punch that the creature is unable to cushion. Its shape distorts again. Rashard digs his arms into the sparks, feeling himself rust up and burn internally.)

(Rashard notices the creature having a strange keychain hanging inside the electricity. He grabs onto it, stifling much of the electric surge and sending it into him. He absorbs all the creature's electricity.)

(Wrestling for control over his limbs, Rashard makes his way over to the sewer.)

[Rashard]: MIG, I NEED FIRE!

[Mig]: Hang on!

(The power lines are going in a total frenzy before they all go out. Seizing the chance, Mig blows all of them up. A line of fire travels through the full pipeline going down the tunnel until it reaches a power outlet. The power box catches fire and begins to burn up.)

(With the creature's final power source going out, Rashard feels stronger.)

[Rashard]: MIG! NOW!

(Mig blasts a jet from his hands and leaps out of the sewer as it explodes underground.)

(He lands in the street, and blasts Rashard. An explosion/surge occurs, with lightning exiting Rashard's body and sparking towards the right. The creature is more humanoid than ever, and it literally looks like electricity on fire.)

(Rashard picks himself back up. The creature blasts a beam of lightning at a nearby speeder.)

[Creature]: (Static) Need... more.. (zap) (low growl) POWER...

(Mig fires a heat beam at the speeder, and the creature weakens again, now screaming a distorted stretch of screechy static.)

[Mig]: (Casually) No you don't.

(The creature strikes Rashard like a lightning bolt, trying to overload him. Rashard's hands blast electricity here and there, distributing parts of the creature around the environment.)

(The power outlet's primary wires catch fire.)

(KABOOM!!!)

(Rashard pulls the creature out of himself at the last minute.)

(Fire and electricity erupt everywhere, while the creature becomes a normal human silhouette glowing with sparks. His keychain falls on the ground. The "man" stares at Rashard hatefully.)

[Man]: (Growling) You did this...

[Rashard]: HOW?!!

(Rashard starts walking towards the man.)

[Mig]: Rashard, get back here!

[Rashard]: HOW, DAMMIT?

[Man]: (Growl) (Static) There... a-a-a-are... more...

(KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The man's electricity depletes and is blasted into the air like a beam, unable to connect with any outlet.)

(Rashard and Mig retreat and run down the street, looking at the sky. Lightning rings out through the night, illuminating the same "honeycomb"-like pattern dotting the sky. The electricity travels like a rainbow, in an arc, all the way down the city.)

(Rashard and Mig see the man, his screams echoing everywhere. Mig blasts a jet of flame into the ground, landing hanging atop a building. Rashard, still metal, leaps up and climbs his way to the top, as they watch the storm cry out.)

(And now, it happens. The lightning reaches the end of its arc... at the edge of the city. It collides with a glass-like wall only visible when distorted, and the city is seen aerially. A ring of electricity begins to surround it. The lightning rises into the sky from all edges until the image is clear...)

(The city is surrounded by a gigantic dome. The lightning surge has reactivated its central power unit, making it visible once more. The dome glows, visible throughout the stretches of land thousands of miles from the city.)

(Mig and Rashard watch in pure astonishment as the sky is lit up by this forcefield. Random blasts of lightning and thunder strike down on the streets.)

(But they aren't the only ones watching...)

(Hundreds of miles away in the pitch black night, some silhouettes are seen beginning to stand up at the edge of the frame, awoken by the sight of the dome coming back to life. Millions of tiny lights begin to reactivate throughout the city, surrounding Mig and Rashard. The lights start to move.)

(Eyes are seen opening in the darkness. Silhouettes are seen waking up from the ground, under the ground, inside buildings. Fire. Ice. Lightning. Little bursts of light and color spark out throughout the city as this barren, ghostly and forgotten land begins to see signs of life again.)

(The camera zooms in Mig's face as he stares out beyond the city watching the lights come closer...)

("Uprising" stops playing.)

[Mig]: We are not alone.

THE END
