INT. LAB - WINTER – NIGHT
-ONE MONTH LATER
A weakened Hydrion floats inside a
large glass cylinder filled with mercury. Tubes of different colors (red, light
blue, yellow, ash) run through and along his spine.
MRS. ELY
How sure are we that he's worth all of
this?
EMILY
His impulse is above average despite
his significant blood loss. But we replaced half of it with mercury.
MRS. ELY
What was the result for his
brainwashing?
EMILY
It was a 99.5% success.
MRS. ELY
So he's fresh as a newborn mutant.
Emily looks at Hydrion, troubled.
EMILY (V.O.)
(Is this really Hydrion?)
MRS. ELY
And how about the other project?
EMILY
87 percent complete.
MRS. ELY
How long will it take before you're
done with Hydrion?
EMILY
Just some hours but…
Hydrion stirs. His hand scratches the
inside of the tube.
MRS. ELY
Why is he up?
EMILY
Like I said Since he didn't have
enough blood, I used mercury to replace it.
MRS. ELY
Tell me something I don't know.
EMILY
It might have worked too well.
MRS. ELY
So he can move?
HYDRION (confused)
Where am I? Who the hell are you?
EMILY
Guess the brainwashing helps, huh?
She presses a button. The liquid
drains. Sleeping gas floods in. Hydrion passes out.
MRS. ELY
Send him to the lab to be examined
before he wakes up again.
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - LATER
Hydrion wakes up in a room full of
scientists, strapped to a chair. One sits across from him, interrogating.
SCIENTIST
Who are you? Where are you from?
Hydrion is silent. Blank.
SCIENTIST (CONT'D)
You are Altrion.
HYDRION
I am…
INT. FACILITY CONTROL ROOM - SAME TIME
Someone hacks the PA system.
PA SYSTEM
…Hydrion!!!
INT. HYDRION'S MIND – INNER
CONSCIOUSNESS
Hydrion finds himself in a strange
void. A river of mercury flows. A giant metal-forged castle looms. From it, a figure
steps down.
It's LENIEL.
HYDRION
Leniel?
LENIEL
So you remember. What was it
again—Altrion?
HYDRION
That's not my name.
LENIEL
Then what's your name?
HYDRION
I am…
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - REALITY
HYDRION
I am… Hydrion. (smiles)
SCIENTIST
Shit—
Hydrion tears through the strapps,
slaughters them and feasts on their flesh.
INT. OBSERVATION ROOM
EMILY
Madam Ely!
MRS. ELY
How did he—? I thought you said he was
completely brainwashed!
EMILY
The 0.5% left was his human self. He
pushed everything there. We were just clearing empty space.
Soldiers rush to intercept Hydrion.
INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE CONTROL ROOM
PA SYSTEM
It's no use.
MRS. ELY
Who's that?
EMILY
He's the one who accessed the control
room and triggered Hydrion's memories.
PA SYSTEM
The dude hasn't eaten in a month, so
you're just delivering his food to him.
Soldiers gather behind the heavy door. Silence. Then—
A massive metal blade pierces through,
stabbing a soldier in the face. Another peeks through the hole. Hydrion grabs
his face and crushes it.
Hydrion rips the door off, feasts on
the corpse, and bites into the heart. Soldiers fire. Bullets melt into his
blood. He regenerates and releases a blade from his wrist.
PA SYSTEM
Wow!! That's new.
HYDRION
I feel weird… tummy rumbles …and
hungry.
Hydrion continues his rampage.
INT. LAB HALLWAY
EMILY
Madam, what do we do now? He's almost
here!
SCIENTISTS scream and die as well as
guards.
PA SYSTEM
Open the door.
EMILY
Huh?! (freaking out)
PA SYSTEM
If you wanna live, open it.
Emily hesitates, then hits the button.
MRS. ELY
No!
Blood seeps in. Hydrion enters.
EMILY
I don't wanna die!
Hydrion raises his hand to kill them.
PA SYSTEM
Wait. Before you kill them, take a
good look at the girl. Smells like someone, right?
HYDRION
Leniel's girlfriend?
PA SYSTEM
Yeah. She's her sister.
HYDRION
And the other one?
PA SYSTEM
You can ignore that one. Mrs. Kelinza
said she had something we needed.
MRS. ELY
Kelinza? …She planned this?
PA SYSTEM
Oops. Guess the cat's out of the bag.
In that case, she said you had something else in your arsenal.
MRS. ELY
How did she know?
PA SYSTEM
Doesn't matter. But uh… we're gonna
need a ride back to your sister's city. The rest's between you and her.
MRS. ELY
Who are you?
PA SYSTEM
You'll find that out in a few minutes.
Anyway, can we get some clothes?
EMILY
We don't have clothes for mutants.
UNKNOWN VOICE (O.S.)
He can turn back, you know.
Steam hisses. Hydrion turns back to
human. Faces of the two newcomers aren't shown but Mrs. Ely and Emily look
stunned.
MRS. ELY
Isn't—aren't you…
INT. MRS. IVY'S BASE - NIGHT
FLORENCIA
Mrs. Kelinza.
MRS. KELINZA
Yeah?
FLORENCIA
Did you ever hate the fact that I
ended up liking Leniel?
MRS. KELINZA
I did.
FLORENCIA
Why?
MRS. KELINZA
If you still feel the same after
today… you'll understand.
FLORENCIA
What's gonna happen today?
MRS. KELINZA
The beginning… or maybe the end. You
should get some rest.
FLORENCIA
You too.
(She starts leaving, suspicious.)
MRS. KELINZA
Florencia.
FLORENCIA
Yeah?
MRS. KELINZA
Stay here or leave with Leniel.
FLORENCIA
Mrs. Ivy gave me most of what I have
today. It's that—
MRS. KELINZA
Didn't ask for your life story.
FLORENCIA
I would go with Leniel.
MRS. KELINZA
Even if—
FLORENCIA
I really don't care. I would still go
with him.
MRS. KELINZA
Love really is blind, huh?
FLORENCIA
Guess so.
EXT. AIRSPACE - NIGHT
A helicopter approaches.
MRS. IVY
Wait… isn't that Ely's?
MRS. KELINZA (sighs)
The end of the beginning… beginning of
the end? End of the end? Whatever… it's beginning the end. No wait—beginning to
begin—ugh, forget it.
MRS. IVY
What's going on?
MRS. ELY (O.S.)
We're here.
INT. HELICOPTER - NIGHT
LENIEL
You ready?
NAYOKA
Kinda nervous…
LENIEL
Don't worry. You'll be fine. So… would
you rather jump or should I push you off?
They put on masks.
NAYOKA
Please don't. I'm already scared of
heights.
LENIEL
You know what, I'm sick of waiting.
NAYOKA
Please don't!
LENIEL
See ya.
One of them jumps from the helicopter,
emitting steam. It's Hydrion transforming mid-air.
EXT. BASE - CONTINUOUS
FLORENCIA
Hydrion? What's he doing here? (looks
at Mrs. Kelinza)
MRS. KELINZA (filing her nails)
Don't give me that look.
HYDRION is seen mid-air, transforming.
Muscle tissues burst out from his joints and spine. His size increases rapidly
as steam clouds him.
He crashes to the ground with a BOOM —
now standing 300–400 ft tall.
HYDRION (howling)
Aaaaaargh!!!
EXT. BATTLEFIELD RIDGE – SAME TIME
KELTON
You have got to be kidding me…
RODAN
What's going on?
DINNA
Is it just me or… he's not the same?
MRS. IVY
Rodan, Kelton! You two slow him down
till we find out what's going on! You're our second line of defense!
RODAN and KELTON nod. They TRANSFORM
into their mutant forms. VATRION picks up ARKRION, flies high, and drops him.
ARKRION transforms mid-air — now 350 ft tall.
VATRION joins him in the sky. DINNA
and MAXI transform beside them into their massive kaiju sizes.
FLORENCIA (amused)
Woah…
MS. KELINZA
Guess you now understand why they're
called "Mutanic Kaijus." m
EXT. SNOWY PLAINS – SECONDS LATER
ARKRION and HYDRION charge toward each
other. They clash — ARKRION lands a punch to HYDRION's face, releasing a
MASSIVE SHOCKWAVE.
Missiles are launched at HYDRION.
ARKRION capitalizes, grabs him, and runs him around a mountain.
HYDRION appears unconscious.
ARKRION (panting)
Good…
Suddenly HYDRION RISES. Roars. Dodges
a punch, bites ARKRION's wrist, flips him, SMASHES his head into the mountain
base, tears off his arms, then steps on his back as the mountain collapses.
HYDRION
Where's the other one?
HYDRION spots VATRION hundreds of
meters away. They CHARGE.
HYDRION
There you are!
He jumps and SMASHES VATRION'S head to
the ground. VATRION counters, piercing HYDRION's neck with a wing thumb.
HYDRION grabs both wings and tries to tear him apart.
VATRION (roaring)
Raaagh!
ARKRION returns and PUNCHES HYDRION
across the face — sending him down hard. HYDRION suddenly reacts to intense
hunger.
His TEETH sharpen. His EYES glow. A
METAL BLADE shoots from one wrist, a METAL-ARMORED FIST from the other.
ARKRION
What the hell!?
MRS. IVY
What's going on!? . is this Ely's
doing
MRS. KELINZA enters a glass cell and
locks herself in.
FLORENCIA
Um… she just locked herself in!
MRS. IVY
Just ignore her.
MRS. KELINZA (inside the cell)
Yeah, just ignore me.
EXT. MOUNTAIN BASE – MOMENTS LATER
HYDRION pierces ARKRION's chest with
his blade and starts FEASTING on his flesh.
MS. IVY
What is he doing!?
ARKRION tries grabbing HYDRION's face
— only for his ARM to be BITTEN OFF and EATEN.
VATRION swoops down, spinning like a
rifle. ARKRION holds HYDRION in place—
HYDRION (sighs)
Tch…
Suddenly, MASSIVE ICE SICKLES erupt
from the ground, PIERCING VATRION in the chest and surrounding him in a deadly
trap.
MRS. IVY
ARKRION, what just happened!?
ARKRION
That wasn't me…
HYDRION stumbles back. Falls to his
knees.
MRS. IVY (presses buttons)
Let's end this.
SPECIAL MISSILES hit ARKRION and
VATRION — turning them into their Advanced Forms.
INT. BASE – OBSERVATION DECK
All eyes are on MRS. KELINZA.
MRS. IVY
What is all this?
MRS. KELINZA
All what?
MRS. IVY
Hydrion shouldn't be able to do all
this.
MRS. KELINZA
Oh, that's your sister's doing.
MRS. IVY
Ely?
MRS. KELINZA
Yep. This was supposed to be her
project. "Altrion" or something…
MRS. IVY
How do you know that?
MRS. KELINZA
Dunno. Maybe Florencia told me.
MRS. IVY
Not even she knew about it. No one
knows about this.
MRS. KELINZA
Except you, your sister… and me. I
just can't wait to see the other project — the Absolute Hydrion.
MRS. IVY (shocked)
(Ely never said anything of that sort
to me…)
MRS. KELINZA
You look surprised. Anyway, thanks to
your sisters, now we can face what's coming.
MRS. IVY
What's that supposed to mean?
ARKRION freezes HYDRION again. VATRION
fires lasers at the ice base beneath, causing HYDRION to sink.
MRS. KELINZA
Don't tell me you thought these were
the only Mutanic Kaijus the world had to offer?
The ice below HYDRION glows blue.
Vapor rises.
MRS. KELINZA
There are quite a few. Some… very
dangerous. So all you two did was help awaken Hydrion's other forms.
MRS. IVY (frustrated)
What?
MRS. KELINZA
I love that look you have there.
Suddenly, ICE SICKLES explode from 1
km around Hydrion. Massive blast radius.
ARKRION
What the—?
VATRION
Huh!?
MRS. IVY
How!?
MRS. KELINZA
This is amazing…
An explosion goes off from the
epicenter. HYDRION stands, transformed — now with white fur, blue eyes, claws,
and glowing blue markings on his body.
VATRION
Is that…
HYDRION charges toward ARKRION and
VATRION.
MRS. IVY
Rodan! Kelton! You two, get out of
there!
RODAN (V.O.)
We can handle him!
Radio cuts off.
MRS. IVY
No! Don't— shit…
MRS. KELINZA
Guess they still think he's the same.
MRS. IVY is fuming.
EXT. BATTLEFIELD – MOMENTS LATER
HYDRION slams into the ground — ICE
SICKLES shoot up again. VATRION counters with wind bursts. ARKRION counters
some with ice.
HYDRION FORMS an ICE SPEAR — hurls it
toward VATRION's face. VATRION dodges, but it pierces his waist and sends him
crashing down.
A second spear hits his chest — pins
him to a mountain.
HYDRION sighs. ARKRION stands between
him and the others.
HYDRION (deep stare).
ARKRION (Roars)
Two ice kaijus clash but hydrion ends
things quickly with a sprint and a solid punch deforming arkrions head
partially. Then he continues walking
SOLDIER (O.S.)
He's on his way!
MRS. IVY
I can see that!!!
MAXI and DINNA transform, block
HYDRION's path.
HYDRION
Seriously?
MRS. IVY presses a red button.
A section of the enormous building
opens — revealing three massive gates.
HYDRION
Hmm?
MRS. IVY
Tri-Drion… kill him.
From the gates, four Tybeast-shaped
Hydrion clones in Kaiju form charge at HYDRION.
MRS. KELINZA
So that's it? But if I'm correct… tri
means three?
FLORENCIA
There's… four of them.
One figure reveals itself to be the
real Tybeast, leaps, and SMASHES one clone's face — both crash into the frozen
sea.
HYDRION now faces the remaining two.
TO BE CONTINUED…
