    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF DOWNTOWN SYRO

    Vladimir, ricetatix, Patrick, Ericka, and Xcro are there. Ricetatix looks confused about what Vladimir said to Xcro. Xcro is at the same height as ricetatix.

    PATRICK
    Hey Pops.

    XCRO
    Hello... It's been a while...

    Xcro walks up to them.

    ERICKA
    Hi Uncle~!

    Ericka hugs Xcro.

    XCRO
    My-my, you've all grown...

    PATRICK
    This is ricetatix.

    Patrick pulls ricetatix to be in front of him. Ricetatix looks at Xcro, confused.

    XCRO
    Hello there...

    Xcro smiles. Ricetatix turns to the others.

    RICETATIX
    You guys are just ******** with me, right?

    PATRICK
    What?

    RICETATIX
    This is your dad!?

    VLADIMIR
    Yeah.

    RICETATIX
    That's bullshit! He looks like the same age as me!

    PATRICK
    He's seventy.... Uh...

    XCRO
    Seventy-two...

    PATRICK
    Yeah! Seventy-two.

    RICETATIX
    Oh really?

    VLADIMIR
    Yes he is, ricetatix.

    PATRICK
    Anyways, Pops, we have a situation.

    XCRO
    Like what?...

    He walks over to the left side of Xcro.

    PATRICK
    (Whispers)
    Project... Aiken...

    No scratch this time baby! biggrin I think I just ruined the mind of millions of readers and viewers... And Aiken is pronounced: I - KEN.

    PATRICK(CONT'D)
    (Whispers)
    ... Is about to come back...

    Xcro lowers his head.

    XCRO
    I see...

    PATRICK
    Ricetatix isn't gonna die is he?

    XCRO
    No... What makes you think that?...

    Patrick shrugs. Vladimir walks to them.

    VLADIMIR
    Did you hear from Uncle Zian?

    Xcro shakes his head in guilt.

    XCRO
    He was killed in the Tigiryo Mall...

    Ricetatix looks up.

    RICETATIX
    Was he... Albino?... Had a half mask and... a scythe?

    XCRO
    Yes... That was him... I was there watching him... He knew that the mayor was working with terrorists...

    RICETATIX
    WAIT!! So he wasn't a bad guy!? He actually helped Lekora?!

    Xcro nods. He takes off the scythe which is mounted on his back.

    XCRO
    I was terrified when I saw that instant kill... Zian wasn't supposed to die yet... Not until he was six hundred and fifty... He died way to soon...

    RICETATIX
    ... You are... Immortal?

    XCRO
    It's not immortality... The Holy Father had us set to a certain age length... No matter what... I'm not dying till four hundred and ten...

    RICETATIX
    Uh... Are you guys....

    ricetatix turns to everyone else.

    RICETATIX(CONT'D)
    Like that too?...

    PATRICK
    Yeah...

    XCRO
    After committing a terrible sin, Zian, Aiken, me, and a couple others were sent down to Earth...

    RICETATIX
    Wait... Who is Aiken?

    XCRO
    You'll know when the time comes...

    RICETATIX
    NO! I WANNA KNOW NOW~!

    Ricetatix grabs Xcro's arm and attempts to pull him back. Xcro, with quick reflexes, grabs ricetatix's arm and throws him onto the ground.

    RICETATIX
    ********...

    XCRO
    I said, you'll know when the ******** time comes...

    Ricetatix grabs onto Xcro's arms. He lifts his foot and kicks Xcro off. Ricetatix gets up and about to strike Xcro again. Patrick grabs ricetatix's arms. making him stop.

    RICETATIX
    Let go of me!

    PATRICK
    Calm down idiot. You have no idea on how strong he is...

    ricetatix gets loose from Patrick's grip. He jumps kicks Patrick in the face. And follows it up with a drop kick. Patrick blocks the kick. Patrick grab ricetatix's and just holds him. Hanging upside down. Ricetatix squirms.

    PATRICK
    Just stop...

    Ricetatix calms down.

    RICETATIX
    Put me down please...

    Patrick simply lets go. ricetatix falls with a thud. Gets up. Pats himself to get the dust off.

    ERICKA
    So Zian is dead now?

    XCRO
    Yes... I'm sorry... I don't even know what happened...

    PATRICK
    So wha-

    Xcro's cellphone rings. It sounds like a gangster rap ringtone.

    PATRICK
    ... You listen to that kind of stuff?...

    Xcro takes out his phone.

    XCRO
    Yeah... Doesn't everyone else?...

    He answers it. Patrick turns to Vladimir. Vladimir shrugs.

    XCRO
    Hello?

    Xcro looks annoyed.

    XCRO
    Luna... I told you not to call me that...

    PHONE

    Xcro blushes. Everyone looks confused.

    XCRO
    Well that was when we were kids! I've changed! Okay!?...

    INT. FANCY CLOTHING SHOP

    Luna groans.

    LUNA
    What happened to the perverted you~!? You're no fun anymore!

    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF DOWNTOWN SYRO

    Xcro paces around. Getting even more annoyed.

    XCRO
    There was no perverted me!

    PHONE
    Yes there was~!

    Xcro hangs up. Turns back to everyone else.

    XCRO
    So... Where were we?...

    ERICKA
    You were perverted?...

    XCRO
    No I was not!

    PATRICK
    Then whose Hentai mangas were those?

    XCRO
    Shut up. You know what... I'm leaving.

    VLADIMIR
    Wait no!

    Xcro runs off to the edge of the cliff and jumps.

    VLADIMIR
    Dammit...

    RICETATIX
    Come on! I gotta get with Ayakari.

    PATRICK

    Vladimir looks back at the cliff side.

    EXT. DESERTED HIGHWAY

    Celeon, Ace, and Rajjah are strolling the highway. Rusty old cars surround them. Sandy broken roads below their feet. They all look like they can pass out at any moment.

    ACE
    Dammit it all...

    CELEON
    Peko.. The best pilot around...

    ACE
    Does anyone know where the nearest city is?...

    A laptop materializes in Rajjah's hands. She opens and types.

    RAJJAH
    The nearest city is... Downtown Syro. And it's...

    A disgusted face is shown on Rajjah.

    RAJJAH(CONT'D)
    Two hundred miles from here...

    ACE
    DAMMIT!

    CELEON
    Hey Ace.

    ACE
    What?

    CELEON
    Check if that car works!

    Celeon points at a decent looking convertible BMW. Ace walks up to it. Opens the hood. The motor is clean like nothing was touched.

    ACE
    Woooooaaaaah~!!! Celeon check this out!

    Celeon walks up to Ace.

    CELEON
    Sweet!

    Ace points his finger at the battery. A small spark strikes the battery. The car revs up. Ace jumps in joy.

    CELEON
    YES!! I call driving.

    Celeon jumps into the driver's seat.

    ACE
    Jerk! I ma- ... Screw it...

    Ace gets in the back seat and relaxes. Rajjah gets in the passenger seat. Celeon revs the car. Drives off.

    Ayakari sighs. ricetatix walks into the room.

    RICETATIX
    Hey!

    AYAKARI
    Hello. Want to play?

    Ayakari hands ricetatix a controller. Ricetatix takes it and sits down next to Ayakari.

    RICETATIX
    I'll win this time...

    VLADIMIR

    RICETATIX & AYAKARI

    They don't even looks at Vladimir.

    VLADIMIR

    RICETATIX
    Yeah.

    VLADIMIR
    Better get ready.

    RICETATIX
    Yeah.

    Vladimir looks annoyed.

    VLADIMIR
    What's one plus one?

    RICETATIX
    Yeah.

    Vladimir sighs. He gets the remote and turns off the T.V.

    RICETATIX & AYAKARI
    HEY!!

    Vladimir glares at ricetatix.

    VLADIMIR
    Get ready now...

    RICETATIX
    ...Fine...

    ricetatix gets up and goes to the closet. Ayakari gets up as well. Vladimir turns and walks out of the room. Ayakari chuckles and runs into the closet with ricetatix. Shuts the door behind her.

    RICETATIX(OFF SCREEN)
    WHAT THE HELL!?

    AYAKARI(OFF SCREEN)
    Oh hush...

    Fade out.

    Fade in.

    EXT. MEADOW

    It's snowing lightly. Xcro is sitting next to Zian's grave. Talking as if Zian's spirit would probably listen. Xcro looks depressed.

    XCRO
    Aiken is coming back... We thought we would be able to help him out before... what should I do, Zian?... Only you and Luna were capable of making him stay put... And what would happen if he finds out you're dead?... s**t...

    LUNA(OFF SCREEN)
    Wow... You're still with that?

    Xcro looks up. Luna is there. She looks annoyed. Yet beautiful at the same time.

    XCRO
    Yeah... How can I let it go?...

    LUNA
    By loving me~!

    Luna happily poses, pointing at herself. Xcro looks irritated.

    XCRO
    Why are you so conceited?...

    Luna looks shocked. She puts her hands on her waist.

    LUNA
    UH!? Conceited!? I’m not conceited! You’ve always wanted to marry me when we were kids!

    Xcro blushes.

    XCRO
    Well that was when we were kids but then you were... Conceited...

    LUNA
    Gawd. Why are you such a jerk now?

    XCRO
    Cause you’re conceited... How’d you even know where to find me?..

    LUNA
    Just follow the snow... And there you are~!

    Luna cheerfully hops over to Xcro.

    XCRO
    Hmph...

    Luna sits down next to Xcro.

    LUNA
    Aiken is coming back huh?

    XCRO
    Yeah...

    LUNA
    WE SHOULD THROW HIM A PARTY!!!

    XCRO
    Oh come on! Can you be serious for once!?

    LUNA
    You’re such a buzz kill...

    XCRO
    So what do you think would happen?...

    LUNA
    Well if he sees me, he should be happy~!

    XCRO
    See?.. You are conceited...

    Luna lightly smacks Xcro’s shoulder.

    LUNA
    I am not! He, in fact, loves me more than you, right?

    XCRO
    I don’t know...

    LUNA
    Just can’t wait to see how he’s like now~!

    XCRO
    How did it even end up like this?...

    LUNA
    It could’ve been when we were still kids...

    Xcro and Luna look into the sky.

    Fade out to white.

    Fade in from white.

    LUNA
    Hey! Zian! What do you think Father would say about these flowers!?

    Zian turns his head to see what Luna is holding while they run. He smiles.

    ZIAN
    I believe Father would like those!

    LUNA
    Good!

    Xcro turns to Aiken, who looks extremely bored at running but tries to hide it with a forced smile. Xcro laughs.

    XCRO
    Come on Aiken! You’re gonna get left behind if you’re that slow!

    Aiken smirks. He starts running faster. He passes Xcro.

    XCRO
    Wha...

    Aiken turns at him and laughs a little. Screen shows a vast church. White, gold, and bright blue. It looks more like a castle than a church. They run inside.

    INT. CHURCH

    The Priest, Father Vasheen. He has spiked faded gray hair. Golden eyes. A silver plated shoulder armor with the holy cross engraved in it. A long white robe. Gold trims. A long golden holy cross necklace. Pale skinned. On screen: Name: Father Vasheen. Age: 62. He turns as the doors open to see Xcro, Luna, Zian, and Aiken run in. Father Vasheen smiles happily yet annoyed.

    VASHEEN
    You know you guys aren’t supposed to run in here...

    Luna walks up to Vasheen.

    LUNA
    Sorry Father! But look! I got you these!

    Luna hands the flowers to Vasheen. Vasheen looks surprised.

    VASHEEN
    These look beautiful...

    Vasheen gently takes the flowers and places them in a vase nearby. Zian walks over to Vasheen.

    ZIAN
    Hey! Father!

    VASHEEN
    What is it?

    ZIAN
    Someone from... “Project” wanted us to join them...

    Vasheen looks horrified.

    VASHEEN
    You did tell them no right!?

    Zian seems puzzled.

    ZIAN
    Of course. But with your permission only, Father.

    Vasheen sighs in relief. He crouches down and pats Zian’s head.

    VASHEEN
    None of you should join Project... Is the person here?

    ZIAN
    No. They said they might come stop by later though.

    VASHEEN
    I see...

    Xcro tugs on Vasheen. Vasheen turns to him.

    XCRO
    Father...

    VASHEEN
    Yes?

    XCRO
    What is... Project?

    All the kids sit down and listen. Vasheen sighs. He explains how Project is. Even if there religious mercenaries there. Their ways do not represent God.

    INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

    The room is dimly lit. Xcro and Aiken lie on one bunk bed. Zian and Luna lie on the other. Aiken looks down on Xcro.

    AIKEN
    Would you join Project, Xcro?

    XCRO
    But you heard how Father talked about it. Project seems bad...

    AIKEN
    But what if Vasheen is gone?... What would happen to us?

    ZIAN
    Then... We’d probably have no choice but to join...

    LUNA
    EH!? B-b-but... Everything is nothing but war...

    AIKEN
    It can’t be that bad...

    They hear a loud slam. Luna jumps in fright. Xcro immediately takes throws the blanket off of him.

    XCRO
    Zian!

    Zian nods. Aiken jumps off the bed. Zian, Aiken, and Xcro grab a katana off the wall and run out.

    INT. CHURCH

    A group of 4 Projects that look like SWAT members burst through the door. Aiming their rifles at Vasheen. Vasheen turns casually. He doesn’t seem frightened at all. In fact, he seems to be expecting them.

    PROJECT[1]
    Freeze!

    VASHEEN
    You dare to actually kick down a door of God’s?

    PROEJCT[4]
    Shut up! You know those kids shouldn’t be in your possession!

    Camera zooms in on a hallway entrance. Zian runs forward. but stops as soon as he sees Projects and Vasheen. Xcro stops as soon as Zian. Aiken runs forward in slow reaction but Zian pulls him back. Zian looks over to see what’s going on.

    VASHEEN
    So you think you’re able to have control of these children of God?

    PROJECT [1]
    They are not from God! They’re just measly kids with unnatural powers!

    VASHEEN
    Projects... So misleading...

    Project[1] opens fire. Slow-mo. Zian’s face turns to fright.

    ZIAN
    FATHER!

    Vasheen throws his arms releasing a massive gold, purple, and, silver aura wave. Disintegrating the bullets in an instant.

    PROJECT[1]
    WHAT THE HELL!?

    Vasheen lowers his arm, which reveals his sharp blood red colored eyes. His voice seems more of what a “God-like” character would sound.

    VASHEEN
    Hell?... That’s a place where scum like you should be in...

    Zian and Xcro look horrified. Aiken just watches.

    PROJECT[1]
    OPEN FIRE!!!

    The Project team open fire. Vasheen disappears. Reappears in front of Project[1]’s face. He grabs Project[1]’s neck. It glows with an aura. Explosions are heard within Project[1]’s body. Blood gushes out of his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. Vasheen drops the useless body. Vasheen turns to the other three Projects.

    VASHEEN
    You tainted fools dare to step foot in this place....

    Project [2] and [3] take a few steps back. Project [4] still shoots at Vasheen. Bullets are blocked by and unknown shield. Aiken walks forward. Zian and Xcro reach out to him. They miss. A space is seen past Project [2] and [3]. Vasheen looks. It’s Aiken. He seems to be in a trance.

    VASHEEN
    Aiken!?

    AIKEN
    Father... What is that power?...

    The Projects take the opportunity and run out of the church as fast as they can. Vasheen’s eyes fade back to gold. He walks up to Aiken, pats his head.

    VASHEEN
    This power... Is from the Love of God... So I can protect all four of you... You can come out too, Zian, Luna, and Xcro.

    Zian and Xcro look at each other.

    XCRO & ZIAN
    Luna?

    LUNA
    Hi...

    Xcro, Zian, and Luna walk over to Vasheen and Aiken. Aiken still seems to be in a trance. His brown eyes are blank.

    AIKEN
    (Quietly)
    Power... Of.. God?...

    Fade out.

    [END OF FLASHBACK]

    Fade in.

    EXT. MEADOW

    Xcro looks down. Puts his head onto his knees and holds himself.

    XCRO
    Ever since that, he’s been acting strangely...

    Luna looks to Xcro, who seems to be shaking a little. Luna cuddles Xcro.

    LUNA
    Hey... Even if you did do something. What would you do?... None of this could’ve been prevented.

    XCRO
    We probably could have not leave the church that day...

    LUNA
    But it was a beautiful day...

    A tear flows down from the corner of Xcro’s eye. Luna sighs and cuddles him.

    Fade out.
