INT. ROSE
PATRIARCH
Did you know that was going to work?
THE STRANGER
not exactly, I had a feeling If I showed a bit about how un weak us human beings can be, he might see some worth in joining a cause he was searching for. Course while this was happening...the rest of the group was deciding to get themselves into some more trouble...
INT. SALOON
THE ROGUE scoots a dead body away as THE LONER serves her and THE GAMBLER a round.
THE LONER
So, ROGUE...tell us your story.
THE ROGUE
Not much to tell.
THE GAMBLER
I think a female bandit leader who has men trying to randomly kill her the moment she steps back into this city has a story or two.
THE ROGUE
That is the story. I grew up a fine proper raised young girl, till the whole apocalypse started, folks got killed, I went running till I couldn't run any more, found refuge here. Grew up on the streets, learned to fend for myself, soon other folk started hanging around me, helping me lift food, steal clothes, and blankets for ourselves. Soon they started calling us outlaws, but we didn't do anything major, petty stuff till things worsened round here. I didn't have much moral code then, so thieving from folks, killing men when they stood in my way, it just sorta came natural. Then one morning' out of the blue, I just...couldn't do it no more. It wasn't me, it wasn't how I was raised, so I left.
THE LONER
And I'm guessing you left a few enemies on your way out?
THE ROGUE
It's only natural when you're the leader of an outfit as infamous around these parts as we were. Mainly THE OVERLORD...
THE GAMBLER spits out his shot at just the mention of the name. THE LONER eying him with suspect.
THE GAMBLER
You what?!
THE LONER
Am I missing something here...?
THE GAMBLER
The OVERLORD is the biggest name in crime throughout the land, you're telling me you've never heard of him?
THE LONER
Obviously.
THE GAMBLER
He's got his hands in everything, human, demon, angel, he's running things in the PURGE, and you (pointing at THE ROGUE) crossed him!
THE ROGUE
Didn't so much cross him...as...maybe stole a few thousand dollars from his personalized vault when I was sleeping with him to gain access into his banks...
THE GAMBLER
Oh god...
THE LONER
It's not like he knows you're here.
THE ROGUE
I wouldn't count on us being that lucky.
VOICE
Indeed.
The THREE turn as a HULKING MAN stood at the entrance into the SALOON, THE LONER and GAMBLER reaching down towards their guns as the HULKING MAN raises his hand.
HULKING MAN
No need gentlemen, I am here to only speak to the lovely ROGUE.
THE ROGUE
OVERLORD, how ya been? Care for a drink?
THE OVERLORD
Don't mind if I do.
THE OVERLORD, a large man of 6 '8, compacted of solid muscle, comes over and takes a seat by THE ROGUE and THE GAMBLER, THE LONER serving him a shot as THE OVERLORD smiles and downs it.
THE OVERLORD
You left in such a hurry and a surprise, my dear ROGUE, I was worried.
THE ROGUE
I could have been easily replaced.
THE OVERLORD
But the money you took wasn't.
THE ROGUE
Would it help if I said I was sorry and that I regret even doing it?
THE OVERLORD
Deep down, yes, I am happy to hear that.
THE ROGUE
I never spent your money anyways, it was when I stole your money that I realized I wasn't made for this life.
THE OVERLORD
Then it is perfectly reasonable for me to ask what you did with it?
THE ROGUE
Course it is, I mean it was your money...
THE OVERLORD
Was it?
THE ROGUE
Yeah, I may have burned it.
THE GAMBLER
Fuckin' hell...
THE GAMBLER downs another shot as THE OVERLORD just smirks and nods his head.
THE OVERLORD
I see.
THE ROGUE
How'd you find me already OVERLORD?
THE OVERLORD
This is my city, I have eyes and ears everywhere, It was not hard.
THE ROGUE
I see you've still been working out.
THE OVERLORD
This? No no my dear, all natural.
THE GAMBLER
Do you eat a lot of fish to obtain that or...
THE OVERLORD gives THE GAMBLER a dirty look which causes the GAMBLER to look away.
THE OVERLORD
ROGUE, my dear I hold you in the highest regard, you were the only person to ever get me like you did, I learned a valuable lesson thanks to you. But sadly, I cannot let you live, doing so would tarnish what I have built here.
THE ROGUE
I can't die, not yet anyways, not by you especially. I have things now I have to help see to the end, things bigger than me and you.
THE OVERLORD
I don't think so...
THE OVERLORD grabs THE ROGUE by her hair just as THE LONER aimed at THE OVERLORD'S TEMPLE, but before THE LONER could fire THE OVERLORD headbutts the gun, the force causing THE LONER to howl in pain as his arm compressed and he slammed into the back wall.
THE GAMBLER spins to throw a punch but THE OVERLORD catches the fist in his free hand, THE GAMBLER looking at him in horror.
THE GAMBLER
Not possible...
THE OVERLORD
Sure it is...
THE OVERLORD punches THE GAMBLER, THE GAMBLER falling back hard as THE ROGUE looks up at him from beneath his grip.
THE OVERLORD
The great thing about being a liaison...
THE OVERLORD looks at THE ROGUE as one of his eyes turns green, THE ROGUE tensing up.
THE OVERLORD
You get all the nifty little demonic perks.
THE OVERLORD begins dragging THE ROGUE out of the SALOON, as THE LONER stands as he cracks his fingers back into place as THE GAMBLER looks about groggily as THE LONER watches THE OVERLORD drag the ROGUE out kicking and screaming.
THE LONER
Get your fat ass up!
THE GAMBLER
You get rocked by that meat eating giant bastard and tell me if that was normal!
THE LONER
It wasn't! He's demonically empowered you fool!
THE GAMBLER
Makes sense...
THE LONER
Come on!
THE TWO run out as THE OVERLORD gets on a GIANT STEED, as a few men attach a rope around THE ROGUE'S throat as the rope was tied to the saddle of THE OVERLORD'S HORSE, a CROWD watching in horror.
EXT. METROP
THE LONER aims and fires, the bullet severing the ROPE as the ROGUE is quickly set free, THE OVERLORD looking at them as THE LONER lowers his hat, THE ROGUE kicking up as she slams her boot across one of the men that was running towards her, THE ROGUE spinning as she stands and tosses TWO KNIVES at TWO MEN, watching the blades stick into their heads as she turns and throws one at THE OVERLORD, who catches it and then crushes the blade in his bare hand.
THE ROGUE
Shit...
THE OVERLORD
Kill them!
THE LONER and The GAMBLER watch as suddenly every person in the CROWD, OLD WOMEN, CHILDREN, everyone pulls out and pulls up pistols, shotguns, rifles, all beginning to aim at them as THE LONER grabs the GAMBLER and they run back into the SALOON taking cover as the CITY began opening fire towards them, THE ROGUE quickly dives behind a set of crates as they began opening fire towards her as well.
THE RENEGADE and THE STRANGER a few blocks away suddenly perk to the sound of the gunfire.
THE RENEGADE
I am afraid that may be your compatriots.
THE STRANGER
Then what are we waiting for!
The TWO hurry back towards the sound of the gun fight.
THE LONER fires blindly three times, hitting three targets as THE ROGUE curls up and screams as the gunshots seem to never end as the crates she was hiding were beginning to get blown into small fragments around her, THE OVERLORD smiling as he lights a cigarette.
THE GAMBLER bends down as he grabs a handful of broken glass and tosses it outside, THE LONER watching as the glass severs a handful of people into all sorts of gory body parts.
THE GAMBLER pulls out his revolver as he aims and fires, shooting at the ground as his bullet goes off and sends a few men into the air, THE OVERLORD looking confused as THE LONER fires three more times, scoring three more headshots.
THE OVERLORD
Haha, so the DESCENT CHOSEN are her allies, how convenient.
THE LONER reloads as he then fires blindly a few more times, still scoring kill shots as THE ROGUE continues to scream.
THE LONER
We have to draw fire from her...
THE GAMBLER
What do you suggest?
THE LONER eyes the GAMBLER.
THE GAMBLER comes hurtling outside as he lands hard and quickly rolls into some cover as some people aimed towards him, THE ROGUE listening to the gunfire subside a bit as she opens her vest and grabs a few THROWING DAGGERS as THE GAMBLER throws a handful of rocks that shred an entire group into bits, as THE ROGUE tosses a few KNIVES that strike a few MEN that were taking up strategic spots.
EXT. ROAD
As the gunfire continues to resound throughout METROP, a HORSE suddenly trots into frame as a MAN sits on top of it, a poncho around him as he has a DOUBLE BARRELL SHOTGUN strapped around him.
