Scene II of II – “Face Your Destructor…”
”He is coming in the clouds, every eye will see him”
Revelation 1:7
Revelation 1:7
We come back from commercial to see Savannah taking a big gulp as she heads down the hallway the teenager, whose now out of sight, directed her towards. As if out of a horror film, the lights above her start to flicker one by one as she passes underneath them, looking up in a worried and confused state. Savannah is clutching the mic with both hands at chest level, obviously nervous at what may await her at the end of this hallway on the other side of the blue painted double metal doors. Savannah finally arrives at the metal double doors, takes yet another deep breath, places her hand on the silver doorknob of the left door and opens the door, leading first with her shoulder, clutching the mic in her free hand.
The boiler room is next to utter darkness except for the red, glowing exit sign now above her head over the doors in which she entered through and two, dimly lit lights in the old style, half-bowl factory style pendants that the lights rest in, there is no exit on the other side from what we can see but the room is quite big. The hums of the boilers, water tanks, water heaters with other ventilation and air conditioning tanks and such can be heard with an odd, light like fog a few feet off of the ground.
Savannah looks at the steel steps which lead downwards that rest before her feet and with all of her bravery, descends the stairs into the depths of the boiler room that we see before us. With each step, almost as if coordinated a boiler or water tank makes a loud creaking sound followed by a steam release as if something is trying to warn her not to continue on.
“Jesus Christ Jimmy, why would we sign someone who hangs out in a place like this?’, Savannah asks towards the cameraman obviously named Jimmy
They continue on after getting to the bottom of the steps and starts passing the various boilers and water tanks that were making noises and the structures tower over them, suddenly, they hear the sound of metal crashing on the floor to their immediate left, startling both Savannah Skye and the cameraman Jimmy.
Both turn their direction towards where the sound came from and begin to slowly head in that direction as the boiler releases a burst of steam blinding their sight as they fight to make their way through the obstacle of dispersed steam, finally coming to a solid concrete wall with the boiler steam now dissipating, yet still, that light fog that is about knee height remains throughout the boiler room. Savannah Skye turns around and suddenly the voice of Nemesis is heard echoing throughout the room without him in physical sight.
“What do you seek of me mortal?”, Nemesis’ voice rumbles while he still remains out of the camera’s vision
“I-I-I-…just…wanted to get…your…thoughts on your upcoming match with Maverick...”, Savannah asks frightened due to the uncertainty of the situation
“What you want is irrelevant…relevance is only found in what is destined to be and thus, what is meant for me to put on display…”, Nemesis’ voice booms through the boiler room
Suddenly, that same noise as earlier; the sound of metal crashing on the floor is heard back by the steps where Savannah and the cameraman came down. After a moment of hesitation and looking visibly unwilling to go towards the stairs, Savannah allows her need to get the scoop to force her to go towards the stairs. After passing the boilers they both passed on their journey to the concrete wall earlier, Savannah and Jimmy, the cameraman, arrive at the stairs and look up them, to their right, to their left, yet see nothing.
“What…exactly are you playing to display tomorrow?”, Savannah asks aloud think that her questioning may get further response
Out of nowhere, we hear the light scratching of a boot on the ground behind Savannah and the cameraman, thus the camera’s vision which is focused down past the stairs, in the last direction they both looked, slowly turns around in sequence with Savannah turning around to see Nemesis standing before them, in full gear with “HELP ME!”, “LET ME OUT”, “SOMEBODY PLEASE!”, “I’M TRAPPED INSIDE” and “’I’M SUFFOCATING” in black, etched all over his body, looking as if it’s protruding from his skin with his usual display of the inner darkness that consumes him.
“His destruction…”, Nemesis says in a low, sadistic tone directly over Savannah’s shoulders
Savannah Skye and Jimmy immediately run off like bats out of hell, with Savannah dropping her mic causing a loud audio “THUD” and Jimmy dropping his camera that falls on its side and lands facing Nemesis’ feet. As we hear Savannah and Jimmy clunk up the steel stairs as fast as they can, open the boiler room doors and then slam the door behind them, the camera starts to straighten out. It is then picked up by Nemesis who looks dead into the soul of the viewer through the camera’s lens. Nemesis visibly lets go of the camera in a way befitting of releasing a bird into the wild, yet, somehow, someway it remains level with his shoulders, begging the questions; how is he doing this and was a cameraman even with him for his last interview?
Nemesis continues his dead stare into the camera as if he his in your living room looking into your eyes and seeing everything you’ve ever done and every secret you have to hide.
“Pathetic…no other word can be used to describe what you mortals call ‘competition’ in regards to my first encounter in Union Battleground”, Nemesis says snarling
“But you Maverick…you are supposed to be even stiffer, fiercer competition?”, Nemesis asks rhetorically with a sarcastic, dark chuckle
“Yet, I view you as nothing more than a soon-to-be mere example of my dominance…a mortal canvas to use in my art of destruction…another aspect in my landscape of devastation that I intend to spread across and throughout the Union Battleground”, Nemesis speaks with a dash of arrogance in his words
“Your past of manhandling inebriated mortals is unimpressive…your unproven amateur background is far less impressive…but would you like to know what the biggest strength you claim to have will in fact be your biggest weakness feeble mortal?”, Nemesis asks with a stone cold serious look masking his face
“Your claim of being a ‘Golden Gloves Boxer’ because I ask you Maverick, how do you plan on using that to your advantage?”, Nemesis steps even closer to the camera
“When your arms are too short to box with a God?”, Nemesis says assertively taking a step backwards to not be as close as he just was
“I am not some ‘young blood’ like Jason Bourne that will be beaten by your will Maverick, in fact, I can assure you that come L!GHTS OUT, you will find out that I am unlike any being you have stood toe to toe with; I will end you in the blink of an eye and bring upon your rapture, not only for pleasure but because it is your destiny…it is the fate that has been sealed for your soul since your initial inception…I am the ‘maker’ you are meant to ‘meet’…expect eradication, do not expect mercy”, Nemesis says as he lowers his head after finishing his sentence
“The time is almost upon us Maverick…as the final moments tick away, I hope you can find solace in the fact that falling by my hand is not only a certainty but also a necessity because you are like the water that nourishes the seed of my plan…the consumption of your soul is needed for the ‘cleansing’ of Union Battleground to progress forward…because I am Nemesis…and I will be the downfall of you all”, Nemesis begins to take a few steps backwards and falls into the blackness that filled all of the immediate space behind him and out of our vision
A few more boilers let off steam accordingly, as the fog that was on the ground this whole time slowly, but surely begins to fade off to signaling the departure of Nemesis from the immediate area. The camera begins to lift off in the air and then eventually fades out to black.
