Fade Out - Part 4

* BEGIN SCENE *



???

* Fade into B.@.D closing his eyes as he hit the bulkhead…

… and opening his eyes to something other than the inside of the B.@.Dship.

He looked around, and he was standing outside the ruins of the original B.@.Dcave again…

… another experience? *

God… dammit.

* B.@.D hung his head, again coming to the realization that they had lost… that the world had been destroyed… *

… and now you know the truth.

* B.@.D’s heart lurched into his throat, and he turned around, and saw P.c.P looking at him… no smile this time, just standing there expressionless… *

… I listened to you… I trusted you… all this time… you lead us to believe you we’re dead. You told me faking my death was the right thing to do so I lived on the other side of the world for months. You told me letting O.s.H capture me was the right thing to do so I lived like an internment camp prisoner. You…

… I’m sorry it had to happen like this, B.@.D, I truly am, but your world had run out of time and I could not afford the luxury of doing things the right way.

* He grabbed P.c.P by the collar. *
Why the fuck did you do this? WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!

… it became apparent to me some time ago that there we’re forces beyond my control that would bring your world to an end.

… what? So what…

… but for what it’s worth, you’ve done well. You followed the path… you are one of the only beings who could have done so under such circumstances but I see now that I chose well. We are exactly where we need to be…

… what…? The fucking Earth has been destroyed!!!

We will have another chance…
* He motioned to his side and up in the sky… B.@.D looked above the illusion of the old B.@.Dcave…

A Void...

A huge Void. Like a tunnel to somewhere unseen. *

… where does it go? What’s in there?

You’ll have to trust me.

* B.@.D looked right at P.c.P… *
… you expect me to…

* P.c.P shook his head. *
I can only tell you the truth. I’ve told it to you up to this point. Everything you’ve gone through, everything the world has gone through has been for a reason. So far, you’ve stayed that course. You are almost there… all I can do is what I’ve done so far. And that is point you in the right direction.

* B.@.D stared at the void… *
… and you’re trying to tell me that the right direction is in there?

You’ve done everything you are supposed to do… just let what is going to happen now… happen.
… so do what, exactly?

Do nothing. It’s over. It’s done. You’ve done well, B.@.D... Now just have a little faith.

* B.@.D shook his head… *
… I’ve done well…? The whole Earth… why should I believe you after all this?

Everything else is lost, B.@.D... what choice do you have?

* B.@.D looked at P.c.P one more time, never having been more confused, never having been so full of fear and contempt, nor having felt this much loss… *
… trust me.



* … and with that, B.@.D woke up on the bridge of the B.@.Dship again…

… and saw the unconscious bodies of Katastrophe, Ozi-Style and Tate. He also saw O.s.H at the controls of the B.@.Dship. closing in on Air Force Zero… *

Sorry, G.g.B… I allowed you to destroy the Earth. But you will not make it into the Void for the final victory. That victory is MINE.

* He touch a control and the B.@.Dship started firing at G.g.B’s Air Force Zero…

Fade out. *



G.g.B’s AIR FORCE ZERO

* Fade in to G.g.B advancing on Mizzle, B-Rush and Ekobruzzi…

… when the ship shook violently and the force sent G.g.B tumbling to the bulkhead.

Mizzle looked outside the screen and saw The B.@.Dship approaching them while firing on them…

G.g.B looked at the screen in terror, now noticing the B.@.Dship himself. He turned to Mizzle and picked him up off the ground from where Mizzle had landed… *

TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO STOP OR WE ALL DIE!!!

* At first Mizzle felt fear at the demon G.g.B grabbing him, but then remembered what this had come down to… he smiled at G.g.B. *


You just destroyed the world. I’ll happily go down if you go down with me, same as when B.@.D and me we’re ready to die in Arkensas in that nuke blast… where this whole fucking mess started. But at least I’ll be able to finish it.

* G.g.B did not let go of Mizzle but snarled over at B-Rush… B-Rush looked over at Mizzle before returning G.g.B’s snarl. *


Sorry, pal. You just killed my wife and child. Going down with you will be a pleasure.

* G.g.B looked over at Ekobruzzi, who simply scoffed and smiled at him, echoing the same sentiment as B-Rush… *
EKOBRUZZI: Ciao, amigo.

* The ship lurched again as it came under further fire from the B.@.Dship...

G.g.B released Mizzle and ran to some controls. G.g.B pushed some buttons and Mizzle saw the viewscreen of the ship shift, and saw The Void come into view…

… they we’re heading straight for it. The ship lurched again.

Mizzle had no idea if they would make it… but it certainly didn’t feel like it.

Fade out. *



THE B.@.Dship

* Fade into O.s.H at the controls, laughing, yelling at G.g.B’s Air Force Zero on the viewscreen… *
YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT!!!

* B.@.D looked around the bridge. Katastrophe, Ozi-Style and Tate we’re just regaining their senses as he was… he looked over at Yochanan who was still standing on the deck, staring straight ahead… *

Ughhh… what’s happening?

O.s.H is firing on G.g.B’s ship. He doesn’t want him to make it into the void… G.g.B’s ship is heading towards it… looks like we’re going after him…

What do we do?

TATE: The world has already been destroyed…

But Mizzle, B-Rush and Ekobruzzi are on that ship!!!

TATE: G.g.B is also on that ship… maybe we should let him destroy it. We can handle one demon better than two.

We can handle G.g.B!!!

TATE: We don’t even know if they are still alive!

We can’t let him destroy that ship!!!

… we won’t.


* B.@.D looked over at a station near the back… he knew the B.@.Dship, he knew how it worked, he could find a way to stop this… he looked forward. O.s.H was still focused on the screen and destroying G.g.B’s ship…

He got up and made his way over to the station…

… and hit a switch and de-activated all the weapons on the ship…

… the ship stopped firing, and he saw O.s.H start to struggle with the controls, unable to fire... *

… WHAT?!?!?! NO!!!

* He banged his hands on the controls…

Fade out. *



G.g.B’s AIR FORCE ZERO

* Mizzle braced against the deck as he waited for the next shot to hit the ship…

… but the shot never came. He looked over at Ekobruzzi and B-Rush, who both looked more confused than he was.

He looked up at G.g.B, who had a relieved, terrifying grimace on his face. A transmission beep told everyone that there was an incoming transmission…

… and everyone on the ship looked at the screen in shocked surprise as O.s.H’s terrifying face filled the screen on the bridge of The B.@.Dship before he screamed… *
GET AWAY FROM THE VOID!!!

* G.g.B’s shock and surprise was even more apparent, but he simply laughed and screamed back. *
NEVER, YOU FAILURE!!!
* He tapped some controls and Mizzle felt Air Force Zero fire it’s impressive weapons arsenal. Mizzle knew the weapons had been fired at the B.@.Dship... *

O.s.H got the B.@.Dship?!?!?!

EKOBRUZZI: Are they dead? Are they on board???

It doesn’t matter now… if they are then they better find a way to make it into the Void too… I wonder if there’s something we can do to help...

We could try to shut off the weapons…

EKOBRUZZI: We don’t know how… this isn’t our ship.

I know one way.
* Mizzle grabbed two of the three guns out of Ekobruzzi’s holster. He handed one to B-Rush.

Ekobruzzi grabbed the remaining gun. The three of them looked at each other and smiled… and pointed it towards equipment around the ship…

… and all 3 fired in unison. Equipment exploded around the command center of the ship, and they felt the ship stop firing.

… G.g.B turned around. He raised his hand towards the three… and green sparks danced in his hand again and he screamed with rage… *
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Mizzle braced… but as he prepared to be struck down, he noticed swirls of white light coming from the Void…

… they we’re entering it. Slowly his whole world went white, and he could not see anything around him anymore…

… and didn’t know if he ever would again. The last thing he remembered doing was swallowing hard before he couldn’t even feel himself…

Fade out. *



THE B.@.DSHIP

* Fade into the inside of the B.@.Dship.

The ship was hit once with fire from the Air Force Zero ship, then B.@.D saw that G.g.B’s Air Force Zero ship was enveloped by the void…

* O.s.H screamed at the viewscreen… *
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* He turned around to B.@.D, knowing that B.@.D was the reason that G.g.B’s ship made it into the Void…

B.@.D expected to be struck down by O.s.H but not caring anymore… ready for his end, ready for it to be all over…

… but O.s.H simply smiled at him.

… an angry, terrifying smile.

… as B.@.D looked at Ozi-Style, Katastrophe, and Tate… as they all looked back at him… none of them sure what to expect next… only Yochanan remained unchanged, still staring straight ahead, completely catatonic…

… as they saw swirls of white energy shoot out from the void and envelop the ship. O.s.H continued to stare at B.@.D as B.@.D felt the entire bridge go whiter than any white he had ever seen… *

WE’RE ENTERING THE VOID!!!

* As he felt everything and everything slip away from him, even the deck on which he stood, he thought that one last thought again…

The world had ended, and they we’re entering The Void.

Fade out. *
