GARGOYLES # 1
Written By Patrick Moore ìWARRIORS OF THE NIGHTî Pt. 1 EXT-DOWNTOWN NEW YORK A rich family has just exited out of a movie theater just after seeing the recent superhero movie. Their son named Bryce is holding a small bucket of popcorn as he sings the movieís theme song. BRYCE That was the best one yet in the series. I liked when he fought the evil clown guy. RICH DAD Bryce, I hope you donít mimic those things that are in those superhero films. You could get hurt or worse. RICH MOM Tom, stop giving Bryce ideas. RICH DAD Now, Martha, the boy has got to learn the difference between real and imaginary crap. The family decided to take a shortcut into an alleyway. As the walk there, five armed men surround them. One of them grabs the Rich Momís pearl necklace, and pulls it off her. RICH DAD (Angry) Get away from my wife, youÖ One of the thugs slams his fist in the Rich Dadís face. THUG 1 You better shut up, Trump, and give us your money, or Iíll start shooting your brat over there. The thug pointed his gun at Bryce, as the young boy began to shake in fear. THUG 1 Whereís your superhero now, kid? A mysterious roar can be heard, as the goons looked around to find where it is coming from. THUG 2 What the hell is that? THUG 3 I heard it was the monsters that attacked the others. THUG 1 What are you idiots talking about? THUG 3 The gargoyles, man. Theyíre real. THUG 1 Bullcrap! Theyíre just stone statues just to scare morons like you. Now shut up and get the money from these rich slobs, or Iíll youíll join them in the hereafter! Thug 1 turned to see a large gray winged creature towering over him and the others, as it roared at them. THUG 1 Holy shÖ The creature threw the thug into the others, as it walked towards them with its glowing white eyes while the thugs scream in fear. INT.ALLEYWAY-MINUTES LATER We see the thugs being put in a police paddy wagon with scared looks on their faces. Detective Elisa Maza comes out of her red car as she walks to Detective Matt Bluestone. ELISA MAZA Anything, Bluestone? MATT BLUESTONE Those punks said they saw a winged beast attack them, right after they peed their pants after looking at it. Elisa spots something in the alleyway, as she looks on the wall to see four slash marks on it. ELISA MAZA What the hell did this? Elisa took a picture of the wall with the mark with her camera cell phone. She them walked back to Matt. MATT BLUESTONE Any news? ELISA MAZA I think those morons were telling the truth, but we better get more proof. Elisa heads back to her car and drives off, as Matt spots a man with white hair wearing a black trench coat at the corner. MATT BLUESTONE (Walks towards man) What are you doing here? MAN (In Scottish accent) You know why Iím here, Lad. MATT BLUESTONE She knows that they were here. MAN Your partner mustnít know about us yet, Matt. She must not be part of what is to come. The man leaves, as Matt goes back to his work. EXT. XANATOS TOWER A helicopter begins to land on the roof of the building as billionaire, David Xanatos, comes out of the chopper to be greeted by his assistant, Owen Bennett. QWEN BENNETT Welcome back, Mr. Xanatos. DAVID XANATOS Thanks, Owen. I hope our guests are behaving themselves while I was gone. OWEN BENNETT They go and come back as they please, Mr. Xanatos. Can we trust them? DAVID XANATOS Theyíll have to trust me, because Iím the one who brought them back. David and Owen go inside. INT- XANATOSíS OFFICE The two of them enter the office, as David presses a button to show a monitor screen of the roof, as they see some mysterious figures flying down to the roof. DAVID XANATOS Looks like our guests have returned. (He smirks, as he turns to Owen) Letís greet them, Owen. Xanatos presses another button that opens a bookshelf with a secret passage inside, as eight winged creatures entered. The large gray one is with them; there is also a female one with red hair, an elder brown one, a reddish bird-like one, a fat green one, a small bat type one, and a large dog like one. DAVID XANATOS Welcome back, Goliath. How was your night? GOLIATH Things have changed since our slumber, and the world that we knew is gone. DAVID XANATOS Thatís why you need me, Goliath. I was the one how freed you and your clan from your sleep and brought your castle to New York. GOLIATH We understand what youíre saying, Xanatos, but the sun is almost to rise. DAVID XANATOS See you tonight, my gargoyles. The Gargoyles head to the rooftop as they sit in their spots. As the sun rises, the Gargoyles suddenly turn to stone. INT. UNDERGROUND LAB Dr. Anton Savarious enters his lab, where he walks towards Tony Draco, a New York mob boss, who is sitting on a table surrounded by a few henchmen. TONY DRACO I hope this works, Savarious. ANTON SAVARIOUS My dear, Draco, this new drug is going to make you the most powerful crime lord in New York. Savarious gives Draco a beaker with a chemical inside. ANTON SAVARIOUS Inject this into your bloodstream and the rest will take its course. Tony smirks at this. TONY DRACO Iím going to be king of the world. TO BE CONTINUED. Next Time: In Gargoyles # 2, Elisa and Matt dig deeper into the world of the Gargoyles, as Goliath and the clan encounter The Pack. Also Xanatos has something planned behind the scenes. |
