Final Realm: Chapter 2: The Present
(Screen shows a bunch of students running in the hallway)
(Runs past a girl closing her locker)
(Girl turns around and hears incoming voices)
(She looks to see some girls walking down the hallway)
“Do you really think he can beat him?”
“Of course not. I mean, Chase may be strong but I don't know if he's a match for Simon.”
(The girl at the locker listens)
“Well this is his 3rd fight this month, and so far he's won every one of them.”
“Wait you mentioned a boy named Chase…”
“Yeah his name is Chase Ingram”
“Wait! You don't mean the son of the legendary soccer player David Ingram?”
“(smiles) Yeah, his son goes here.”
“Does he play soccer too?”
“Yeah, but he usually gets in fights with Simon, leader of the Fist gang.”
“Simon?”
“Oh, I forgot. You're new here so I guess you don't know much about him. Well you may wish you didn't.”
“(Gasps) Why not?”
“Oh, he's just a bully. He bullies everyone around. He's the leader of the gang called the Fist.”
“(Gasps)…”
“But don't worry…”
“Hm?”
“Chase is the only one who is brave enough to face him…”
“…”
“In a way…he's like a protector to all of us here…”
“…hm…”
“What's the matter?”
“N-nothing…it's just…it must be tough not having a father and having to protect everyone here…”
“Oh, yeah…His father mysteriously disappeared four years ago…”
“It must be hard on him…”
“Yeah I guess you're right. C'mon we better hurry or we won't be able to see the fight.”
(The two girls run down the hallway)
(The girl at the locker sighs)
“Not again.”
(The girl at the locker runs down the hallway)

(Screen lightens)
(Shows a crowd of students outside in the courtyard of the school gathered around two people)
(The crowd cheers for Chase and for Simon)
(More cheers are heard for Chase though)
Simon: Im so sick and tired of you messing with us! You'll think twice before you mess with the Fist again.
Chase: (yawns) can we hurry this up? I have more important things to do than kicking your ass.
Simon: (angry) what'd you say!?
Chase: (sighs) I think you heard me or are you really as stupid as you look?
(Crowd is full of “Ooooh's”)
Annoying guy in crowd: Daaaamn! You just got served!
Simon: (clenches fist as a muscle vein pops on his head) W-why you little! I'll tear you to pieces!
Chase: (sighs) well I can see where this is going (yawns loudly)…. Im bored, Im out of here.
(Chase turns around to exit the crowd)
Simon: Hey where do you think you're going!

Chase: Is that all you got? (Slowly looks up at Simon)
(Simon growls)

(The girl from the locker runs up to him)
April: Chase.
Chase: yeah, what sup?
April: you didn't have to do that.
Chase: yeah, but I get sick and tired of you being harassed by punks like them.
April: yeah, I guess. But that doesn't mean you have to fight them.

(It is completely dark)
(Chase looks around)
“Lost? Follow the light.”
(Chase looks down to see his shadow facing in front of him)

Chase: Yeah yeah, whatever. (Scratches head) We still don't know if I made it on the school team or not…
April: (looks down) hm… (Looks up and over at Chase) I know! How about we go and get something to eat! That should cheer you up! (Smiles brightly)
Chase: Um, yeah I would…It's just that… (Looks down)…
April: (looks over at Chase) what…?
Chase: …

April: (comes in screen with chibi head) over pizza Chase? Not likely…
Chase: The economy would go into depression and we would be forced to go to war with other countries for food!

Chase: The world would soon go into economic depression and soon the leaders of the country will lose sanity because of lack of pizza and we'd all be doomed! (Holds a slice of pizza in his hand and cradles it gently against his cheek) This pizza is key to the world's peace…Pizza is change! Pizza is life! Pizza is-

Chase: (bump raises on his head as he lifts his head tearing) Y-yeah okay.
(The TV news turns on)
(The announcer comes in)

(Title appears on the screen and zooms out)
(Anchorman appears on screen behind the news desk with some papers in front of him)
“Hello I'm Dan Patterson. In today's breaking news there was another mysterious murder alongside with that of earlier this morning. Racheal Shean is live at the scene to give us the report. Racheal?”
(Screen alongside the anchorman appears showing the news reporter Racheal in front of the screen)
(The screen beside the anchorman maximizes to fit the screen)
(Racheal speaks)
“Yes Dan, something truly horrific has just happened here on Maple Street a couple of minutes ago. Citizens of New York were alarmed to hear the screaming of a middle aged man pleading cries of help inside this alleyway. (Steps away from the camera as it looks into the alleyway) (People are seen standing a body in blood lying on the ground next to the wall) By the time help had arrived though it was too late and the body was found lying there limp and dead. (Steps back a little revealing a police officer standing beside her) Sheriff Johnson has more details on the mysterious murderer…Johnson? (Puts the mic near his face)
(Chase and April slowly eat and look up at the screen)
(The Sheriff speaks)
“Well there's no doubt that the murder committed earlier this morning and the one committed here not long ago are connected. Due to the evidence of the victims' body and the one earlier this morning we have concluded that both incidents are linked to the same culprit. Both bodies appear to have sustained teeth markings as if their bodies had been literally “torn apart” by some type of animal.”
(Racheal puts the mic back near her face)
“Animal? What kind of animal?”
(Racheal puts the mic back in the sheriff's face)
“Well as of now we can't really tell. But what we do know is that this isn't your average animal.”
(Chase gasps and has a flashback of the demon that was on the news earlier that morning)
(The sheriff continues talking)
“We have a number of scientists and zoologist working at the scene but what's strange is that it didn't leave any evidence. No DNA, No hair, Nothing. We have no leads as to what this thing is.”
(Racheal takes the mic back)
“But there was an eyewitness right?”
(Racheal puts the mic back near the sheriff)
“Yes, there was an eyewitness. The problem is that he didn't see anything. All he said he saw was an invisible force dragging the man from the side of the street and into the alleyway here.”
Chase: (starts to look down from the screen) … (flashback of the demon again) …April…Did you…see the report… (Slowly turns towards April)…earlier this morn-
(April looks down at the floor shivering a little with her eyes frozen)
Chase: (looks down at the floor) … (thinks) so she saw it too… (Has a flashback of the demon with flesh in its mouth) … (Looks back up at the TV screen)
(The reporter speaks)
“So then this is some kind of foreign animal. Any words of advice for New York viewers?”
(Racheal puts the mic back in the sheriff's face)
“Yes, all civilians should seek safety in their homes. It is much safer to be inside especially at night due to that most of the attacks committed occur either in the evening or early morning when it's dark.”
(Racheal puts the mic back near the sheriff)
“Thank you Sheriff Johnson. That's it for this section of The New York Evening News. We will back later with more details on this mysterious murder. Dan?”
(Screen goes back to Dan)
“Well as you all heard all civilians should seek shelter. Until we have confirmed what this animal is it is better to be safe than sorry…onto other news…”
Chase: (looks over at April) …So can I walk you home…?
April: (looks up suddenly at Chase and smiles) Oh! Y-yeah!
Chase: (smiles) okay…
(Scene changes to Chase and April walking down the street at night)
(The fluorescent lights glow within the city)
Chase: (walks silently) …
April: (walks silently) …
Chase: (breaks the silence) so…you saw it too…
April: (gasps and looks at Chase) …
Chase: (keeps walking looking forward)…This morning…you saw it didn't you?
April: (looks down at the ground and keeps walking) Y-yeah…
Chase: …
April: …
Chase: don't worry…I don't really think it's all their making it seems to be. Even if it is… (Smiles and grabs his arm)… (Looks over at April) I'll take care of em' for ya'.
April: Chase! It's not that easy!
Chase: huh? (Sweat drops)
April: (waves her hands) What if it's some foreign animal that somehow got shipped from a foreign country! We don't know anything about it! Or what if it's actually some kind of disease that is wiping out everybody! What if it's contagious!
Chase: (looks over at April) I wouldn't stress it. There's the evidence of the teeth marks remember…
April: So then…you do believe in it? (Looks over at Chase)
Chase: (scratches head) well…not exactly. But things these days…you can't be all too sure.
(Two guys walk by talking loudly)
“So did you hear about the animal?”
“Oooh, I'm sooo scared!”
“Dude, I'd be careful if I were you.”
“Well you're not me. Which means that your nothing but a scaredy cat!”
“Well that may be so. But you never can be too careful.”
“Hah! Even if that so called animal was real. I guarantee I'd kick its ass.”
“Dude, aren't you being a little overconfident?”
“Heh, dude I'm serious. Let me meet the thing. I promise you it won't even be able to lay one finger, or claw, or whatever the hell it is on me!”
“Heh, well if you say so…Oh! Well my house is across the street. See ya' later!”
“Heh, later! (Waves goodbye)”
(The other guy runs across the street)
Chase: (looks over at the boastful guy) …
(The boastful guy looks back over at Chase)
“What the hell are you looking at!?”
Chase: heh…nothing…
“That's what I thought! (Keeps walking and turns down an alleyway) ”
April: (looks over at Chase) T-thanks Chase.
Chase: eh? (Looks over at April) heh, it's no big deal.
April: You're a really great friend.
Chase: eh…I try. (Smiles)
April: (smiles and giggles a little) …
(Suddenly a scream is heard)
(Chase and April gasps)
Chase: WH-what was that!?
April: …Chase?
(April grips Chase's arm)
(Chase turns back and looks toward the alleyway where the boastful guy went into)
“AGGH!!”
(Chase and April gasp again)
Chase: (runs towards the alleyway) ngh!
April: (lets go of Chase) Chase! Where are you going!?
Chase: I have to save him!
April: What the heck are you thinking! You'll be killed!! You idiot!
(Chase rushes into the alleyway)
April: (screams and stretches out her hand) Chase!
(Chase stumbles into the alleyway)
(Chase sees a hunched figure gorging over the boastful man in the moonlight)
Chase: (shivers) …
(The sound of bones cracking and fluids squirting are heard)
Chase: (shivers) ….
(The hunched figure stops and lifts its nose up to the sky and sniffs)
“(licks it's lips and speaks in a deep voice) mmm…I smell a strong spiritual soul…mmm…it smells of light…the most… (Licks its lips) delicious…
Chase: (gasps and stays still) …
(April runs around the corner towards Chase)
April: Chase! (Grabs Chase by the shoulder)
Chase: (gasps and looks over at April) April! What the heck are you doing here!?
April: Chase! (Looks into his eyes)
Chase: (stares back at the hunched over demon) …
April: (tugs at Chase's shoulder) Chase let's get out of-(follows Chase's eyes to the demon)… (Gasps)
(The demon is standing on its fours facing Chase and April)
(A long tongue flicks out of its mouth)
“Not one! Two! Two spiritual souls! What luck!”
(April and Chase shiver in fear)
(The demon gives a grim smile)
“That's right children. Fear. Fear because now you know…(rushes towards April and Chase on all fours and jumps into the air at them) That you will die!!!
(April gasps and screams)
Chase: (snaps out of it) April! (Gets in front of her with his hands outstretched) No!
(The demon comes closer to Chase in midair)
“AHH!”
Chase: (closes his eyes and prepares for pain) ngh!
(A metallic sound is heard)
Chase: … (Opens his eyes and looks up at a figure standing in front of him with a long broad sword)… (Gasps)
(The man with the sword blocks the demons sharp teeth with his blade and holds it there)
(The man speaks)
“You could… (struggles) be a little more careful…”
Chase: … (Blinks)
April: (slowly looks over Chases shoulder) …
Chase: (gasps and has a flashback of the same person that saved him four years ago) …you…
(April's eyes widen)
Chase: …w-who…are you?
(The man with the sword looks slowly back toward Chase)
Aneiras: My name is Aneiras…and I'm…your guardian angel.
Chase: (gasps) …
(Screen fades out)
