Allegiance of Powers (2016)
Deep voice:
Computer, where am I? Computer: You have arrived six days into the future. Deep voice: And what am I looking at? Computer: Destruction of a battle. Deep voice: Show me. Maze: There is so much to see when you have no sight. It's not like closing your eyes and feeling around your house. It's a whole new world. Same as vengeance. When something like vengeance takes over your soul. You become things you never thought you'd become. Never believed you'd become. Murderer. Monster. Martyr. But you... See, you're in a situation all too unfamiliar. You see, it's not just one... ...but two. Fade: Know where these scars came from? It wasn't from the well-known red rain. It was from... People like you. People who stood in the way of progress. Progress... my progress. This is my reminder. Death was theirs. Although, generosity is not in our nature, I'll give you this. I won't kill you to get to her. But... ...we will fulfill our job description and remove you from this city. He will kill you. Do you realize how much blood is on these hands? What's a few more stains? Deep voice: Computer, who is this? Look how busy they all are, one moment to the next. Their lives become more dull as they wither into nothing. But now I inject a little chaos and look what happens. Their lives now mean something. They have a purpose. A reason for their existence. Little do I care about these diatribes of human existence. Where is my sister? In time. Your entire task isn't finished. There are still more hiding out there undercover, remaining hidden from the eye. Find them and take care of the problem. So, where did they come from? This one? Fade: Yes, what was his power? He had this... shadow he could... conjure. Shadow.. Deep voice: Freeze. What innocent is he talking about? Someone's a bit sore, eh? Is that all you've got? Who sent you? Now, you know i can't tell you that. Who sent you?!!! One of yours? What the hell? I found this huge chunk of metal. Look at this thing. This could be dangerous. Yeah, I know. There we go. It fits! That is awesome! Nice! - Yes! Alright, let's go find some more. You guys just made a huge mistake. - Recycling is never a mistake. - Do you have anything else? For the orphans. Wanna see bad? Deep voice: Who was that man? Markus. According to the police report, they put the female's body... Sherry. Right, Sherry's body, right there in the bloody area. And, uh, the assailant must have been standing over there. Boy must have seen the assailant and chased him out the door. What do you want now? Come on, Sherry. Cain'll never know. Sherry: Look, I don't know what kind of tricks you're trying to pull here. But it's not gonna work. Why can't you just understand that? Markus: I know what you are trying to do, Sherry, and it's not nice. Look, Markus. Nothing will ever happen. I want you to leave now. You're nothing but a lap dog. You're my ex-husband's footstool. You try everything you can to try and get out from his shadows, but you never will. You're pathetic. Deep voice: Computer, go back to the battle. Damn. What I miss? Sup. Deep voice: Now, who is this? I have a lead on the two heroes from the crime scene. Apparently, they have been posting videos online to recruit others. I don't give a damn. It's not worth fighting him. You think I fear death? There are far worse things than death. Tell him to bring it on. Look at you, all fueled with rage. Do you find something amusing about your own death? You're quite mistaken about that. Look at you. So much power hides in those veins. You are a cascading vortex of pure hatred, and now... ...a puppet for my amusement. How's it finally feel being the weaker of the two? Feast your eyes one last time. Allow my image to be burned into your mind's eye. Burn your eyes out. He wants you to self-destruct. Play his little game, wait for the perfect moment... ...and then get your vengeance. I'll go. You... dispose of this kid. Deep voice: The boy from earlier, how did he get there? Willie. That was a good job. Alright, we got a few recyclables. Yes, and we took out a bad guy. Oh. Was he bad? Let us get him some coal and put it in his stocking. We don't have a stocking to give it in. He does not have a stocking? - That's not a problem. We can get one. - Alright! Yes. Okay, um... that way! Let's go! Woohoo! They just left by jumping up the side of the building. Thanks. Is it better to live a monster or die a hero? In this question there's only two choices. But are there only two? I like to believe there's a third in between. To exist. Not good, not bad. Not martyr, not sinner. To just live. Be normal. I choose normality. I choose to step from the polar ends and meet in the middle. But I can't choose that. So, I choose death. Can't have that either, thanks to this curse. So... I Grant you mercy, by removing you from a world worth leaving. Enjoy it. Deep voice: Return to the fight. ...feeling around your house. It's a whole new world. Same as vengeance. When something like vengeance... Deep voice: Who might this be? I won't kill you, to get to her. Deep voice: What is so special about her? Is he in there? Is this the place? Christy: Yes, that's the ir room. Instant rehabilitation. We need to talk. Is this some kind of casual encounter? Don't flatter yourself. I'm here to get back what you've stolen. Where's the hard drive, Max? Odd, you know my name, ...but I don't seem to know yours. I, uh... I saw a hero today. A little boy, no more than five years old. He uh, stood up for another boy at the bus stop. It was... It was... one step closer. The air is different here. I don't know if it's peace or Serenity of death. You're out of the darkness now. It's only in their eyes. People don't love each other anymore... They just fight. I love you, Alan. I love you. Can I help you? I came to pay my respects. Jerry: Oh, I'm sorry. Did you know him well? Not long. Actually I didn't help him at all. I was somebody else. It was another life. Jerry: I see. I'm Jerry, his brother. - Christy. Your brother... he had a gift. Do you? I'm sorry, i don't mean to be nosey. I know it's personal. It's fine. Yeah... I do. Do you think you can help me? You didn't come for Alan... Did you? - I need help. - What's wrong? I was an accessory to stealing a hard drive containing detailed information about people's lives in the city. - What do you need me for? - That's just it. The person who knows got incarcerated. I'm not gonna be breaking someone out of prison. No, it's not like that. We break in, yes, we get the information... ...then we leave. Where is he? Nor will you. Now where's the hard drive? Wearing your big boy pants today. What puts you in control? My purpose puts me in control. And all the people in this city that you spit on, I'm here to protect them. Spit. Well, hero of this city, come take a ride with me. Is this all you can do? Is this all you got? Come on, make it hurt! Deep voice: Tell me about this man. Jason x: It wasn't long after the meteor hit that I had my first encounter with death. The red rain phenomena came a mutation, started to infect people. Most were immune to it, but those with increased exposure were given a curse. With that curse came the main catalyst to the wars. Some called it the future of mankind. The rest called it an abomination. They lost their lives. Stupid! The infected started to drastically decline in numbers until one day, all the rest just went into hiding. Years went by a series of reform and rebuild. Everything became structured again. Except now, we have a hotline to call in case someone uses powers. I know you're there. I didn't mean to alarm you. What are you doing? Skye: I-- we need your help. - Aw, come on! - No, seriously. Okay, yeah, we did try to attack you back there, but that's because we thought you were one of them. Jason x: Okay, who are you and who's them? I'm Skye and I'm with a rebel group called entropy. It's a group that-- yeah, yeah. I watch the news. It's not who we are. We're trying to make a difference. By killing innocent people? That's how you're making a difference? And what were you trying to do earlier? Echoing voice: I can Grant you a gift, and I can't take it away. It's simple. Would you like all your greatest desires... ...to come true? Take a life. It will all be given to you. What are you looking for? Do you see something you like? Anyway, that's not us. That's someone else doing those attacks. We're a non-violent group. We're trying to un-brainwash people and bring them out of the darkness. So, who did you think I was? Well, one of the shadows. They're everywhere but you can never see them. Well, you made a mistake. I can't help you. Skye: Yes, you can. We are only five strong! No, what you need to do is stop playing Batman and go home! People die. This is not a comic book. There are no happy endings. You live, there's a lot of misery, and then you die. Once you understand that, you'll know it's not worth it. We don't all have to be miserable. If you can save one person from a miserable life, isn't that worth ours? Spoken like a true hero. And what else might I have done? I only hid my actions under the law of the city. Deep voice: When does this girl come in? I won't kill you to get to her. Lauren: Dear dad, I know you always wanted a certain degree of success from me. And you've gotten it, until you read this note. I can't live anymore in your shadow. I know you started out nothing and built so much. I'm not you. I can't be hidden from the world any longer. I need to see this world for myself. I need to experience failure, heartbreak, and love. All these emotions that you have steered me clear of. I know you love me. I love you too. But I just need this time to figure out who I am. And who I want to be in this world. I love you, dad. Lauren. Egotan: Egotan! Cybersting: And cybersting's... Egotan: Mini book! Cybersting: Of justices. Egotan: Justice... Cybersting: No. Egotan: Justice! Cybersting: Lauren found herself caught up with the wrong people and in the wrong place. Egotan: I am so caught up. Cybersting: Lauren had nothing to call out for, neither hope nor prayer. She was lost. Egotan: Oh, I am so lost! Cybersting: Sticky and twitch are the two that are... Have Lauren captive. This is sticky. Egotan: I'm sticky, I'm bad. Cybersting: This is twitch. Because of their unclean hotel room they had a visit they will never forget. Egotan: Oh, it's so unclean. Cybersting: Egotan and cybersting were out collecting garbage for recycling purposes. Egotan: I'm collecting. Cybersting: The hostility grew as they refused to recycle. That ended up being a big mistake. Egotan: Horn of justice. Cybersting: Cybersting came in, happy to see that he needs to teach the importance of recycling. Egotan: Lesson one. Cybersting: With both crooks taken down, the two decide to start their recycling endeavor. Egotan: There's so much trash. Cybersting: In the bathroom, cybersting finds a weak, beaten-down girl and he decides to help. Egotan: Oh, she's so beat. Cybersting: Cybersting is not happy. Egotan: Look at his angry face! So not happy. Deep voice: What is it about these two? Egotan: Our ride will be around here somewhere. Oh, over here. It is far too dangerous for you, beaver, so you stay back. Cybersting: There is a massive puddle. Egotan: And you are right. Away! Benever beaver: These are my streets. I walk as a shadow. Surveying the land for any evil that might stir. I am the uncle chef fist of justice. The unbridled bond between circumstance and reason. I am here, I am now. I am benever beaver. Deep voice: Benever beaver. Is this a joke? Enough. Continue with the fight. And this one? Cain: There-there are people in this world... ...you can't trust. People who stand beside you for years... ...and then turn their backs. Et tu, brute? Don't worry about looking for anyone. That's not your job. It was mine that was taken, and I shall handle this. You... you just watch things for me... ...while I'm gone. And make sure they go smoothly. I... I have a few heads to collect. Fade: Looks like it's the senator's daughter. Senator: You got three minutes, starting one minute ago. Make it quick. Fade: Your daughter was murdered yesterday. Oh... Just oh? What do you want me to say? That I feel bad? That it shouldn't have happened to her? That she was a good person? No. I warned her that if she hung around with criminals, she'd either die or end up a criminal herself. Our lack of caring about your daughter dying is a bit of a red flag for me. Maybe you pulled the trigger, you heartless son of a bitch. Excuse me. I might be a heartless son of a bitch, but I'm not the murdering kind. I get someone else to do it for me. Do you know of anyone she may have hung out with that might be considered criminals in your vocabulary? Yeah, those little pricks that hang out down at the water hole. Water hole? Yeah, where those people go to drown themselves. Don't you read the newspapers? Deep voice: Computer, get to the point. So, what'd he say? Nothing of importance. He said he was busy. Busy? Damnit! Max! What the hell is all this? A map! Hello? Bitch blew my arm off! We must unlock her. What the hell are we doing here? Deep voice: Must tap into a hard drive. So, a regular hard drive? Seriously? I know who would know. I think it would depend on if they were encrypted or the files were just hidden, maybe minutes. What if it's in someone's brain? What? You mean like hacking the mind? Didn't take long for you to return. What, five years? Uh, again it would depend on how it was put in there. What might entertain you this day? What says I didn't come to chat? Well, we don't know how, but is it possible? Zeek: I'm building myself a robotic arm, so, yes. Yes, it's possible. Or get all lathered up in conversation... ...with an old friend. Right there, that's why... ...we've never been friends. So, how is the old watering hole, lately? Not very many suicides here. Not a one. Who's here with you? A traitor and a little girl. You decide who's who. We've come to find the hard drive. The girl... ...and the traitor. We were led to believe you knew where to find the hard drive. You were led... right. But I can only tell one person at a time where this hard drive is. Then two of us... will leave. That won't be working either. You see, as of right now... ...there are more than just the four of us here. They came before you. What the hell just happened? So, ress told me some of the details, but please tell me about this hard drive. And who do you wish to kill... With it? Who are you? What am-what am I doing here? - We brought you tea. - Damsels always drink tea. Always. Tea? So, what information does this device hold? It started to retrieve information about the world. Like what? Life... Any and all information in the future. So, this knows passwords, people, locations. Everything. So, where is it? Here, I made this for you. When I was making fliers so we could apprehend our last criminal. Egotan: Don't worry! See, our last fliers got evil toxin caught and off the streets. - Whoa, are you not impressed? - Mmh. So, you don't catch crooks? Don't litter. Don't pull the tags off the mattresses! The list is endless. Cybersting: Endless. She's... an implant. A tracking... device. Lauren: Do you have sugar? Egotan: Alright. I think we have come to the conclusion that there is no sugar in this room! Lauren: Seriously, don't! Stop pulling this. Ah ha! Crime smells a foot. We must find a perch for crime. Cybersting: Crime smells. Egotan: Yes, it-- oh wait! Cookies! Where could they be? Cybersting: Oh, I found a bench! Egotan: Ah ha, you are right! It is absolutely perfect! They ditched me again. I'm a super hero, too. I got powers. I need my own horn of justice. - Hmm. - Hmm. - Hmm. - Mm-hmm. Hmm. Egotan: Oh, we point. Cybersting: Of course! What about over there? is going to be setting off a pretty steady set of electromagnetic frequencies. Egotan: These are good benever beaver cookies. Here, take some. Cybersting: Thank you. Perfect. See through these you should be able to spot it from a mile away. Might be blinding actually. If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, those right there are your magnet. Whoa, there are a lot of people out there looking for her. Jason x: I'm going alone. It's too dangerous to go alone. Hey, you two, seriously, why do I have to wear this? Egotan: Hmm. That is a safety harness. Cybersting: It is to make sure you are never stolen for evil again. Want a cookie? Egotan: Cybersting needs a cape. Down the road. Cybersting, you need a cape. Cybersting: I need no cape. Egotan: Yes, you do. That's what we are missing. Deep voice: So, the tank found her. He must know he could use her to find who killed his family. Cybersting: I have pants. Egotan: I see those pants. Cybersting: You have pants. Egotan: I have pants! No way! The trembling in my pants! - Pants! Pants! - Pants! - Pants! Pants! - Pants! Pants! - Pants! Pants! - Pants! Pants! Well? - Pants? Pants! - Pants! - I've got pants. - I've got pants. Pants! I'm a peacock! Oh, where did everybody go? Cain: The safest you'll ever be is right by my side. Cybersting: You left her tea. Whoa. Freaky. There's a little girl out there... ...running for her life... ...and we want to chase her down for our own selfishness. Metus killed my sister... ...but his power... Deep voice: Interesting. Max, the only one not in the fight threw her out the window... ...and then saved by these two. Maze: His powers are not derived from him. It's from us. We have to take that control away. Zeek: No, you cannot just keep piling people into my house. Cybersting: It will be fine egotan: Go quickly over here. Hide over there. Zeek: Nope no, no hiding. Egotan: Like this. I've had enough of this world. I deserve this. Deep voice: They bring the girl away where they are attacked once again. Deep voice: And maze grows a weakness... ...a heart... ...taking their lives. So where's the rodent? Oh, why? Gah! I don't know. It just feels right. Why are there so many lights? It just adds to the mood. Kill him. Christy, you never said anything about killing anyone. What do you think would happen ...if someone other than us got their hands on what's inside of her? I understand, but it's ending lives, not saving them. Says who? Continue. This is fun. What do you see happening? After all this? I don't know. Don't do it. I-i cant. Yes, you can. What an odd twist. Oh... lets see... You have a gun and I have... ...nothing. So, lets see. You want another body. Is that it? I'm not afraid. Do it. She always likes making a presence. Max. Crypt. It's been a while. You're quite late on your dues. When can i start seeing some payment? Well I... Well I... brought you one right here. Jerry: Sometimes... ...i have this dream... ...where I'm in the dark... ...alone... ...dying... I keep telling myself... ...that this is only a dream... What if it's not? Since then... ...I've always been afraid of the dark. Lauren: Stop it! Where are we going? Shut up and follow me. You think you're the only one? I missed lunch... ...and nap time... ...and second lunch. Lauren: Every time I go with you i see people being impaled. I think I have it a little bit worse. Please. Lets go. Deep voice: Four dead, two cowards ran off, the idiots must be dead, and a few... ...remain. Watch out for the rubble. I just got it the way I like it. Lauren: This place is a disaster. It's disgusting. Cain: Is it... ...darkness... ...that drives you? They tried to kill you... ...but you continue to walk... ...stand... ...fight... Max: Crawl... ...and hide... I'm sorry. I'm not good at poetry. Cain: What is this? I'm here to help you. Right here. Hmm.. Not so fast. Well Roy, it's that damn beaver again. Benever. Oh, not him again. We keep telling you not to come around these parts. You're able to be shot. Benever beaver: Yeah, uh, this is our secret hide out. I'm going into that cave. Your going to get a super secret bullet up your ass. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry for whatever benever might have done. We just really need somewhere to stay. These people are after us. I'm... I just need somewhere to stay for the night. I'm sorry. There's nothing down there. So might you two walk away. Put some haste in your feet before Roy and I bet who can take the most bullets to the head before they hit the ground. Benever beaver: I'm not going nowhere. Lauren: No, no! Look at what you did. I don't think they liked you. And the plot thickens. Benever beaver: This guy again. Please don't hurt him. He's already drawn his sword and cast the first blow. I'm sorry. What? I wasn't listening. Just to warn you, my blood will stain. Cybersting: Oh, we found some recyclables down by the mill. Egotan: Fee fi fo fum! You came lead her to tea again? Do you even know why anyone is after her? Egotan: Well you see, she needed our help and that is all that is important. Ah, yes. Egotan: Cowabunga! Uh-oh. I'm not good. Egotan: My turn! You missed me. Slap. Egotan: Egotan! Chimichanga! Lauren: Come on you big oaf, get up. I'm fine. Lauren: Do it your damn self. I'm fine. Come on. - Wait here. - No, I'm coming with you. Ow! Eat my cookies. This means nothing. Through the cave, that's the way out the back. Deep voice: The rodent flees, and now, enter Max. Max: The plan was simple. Take a hard drive... ...that was endowed with... ...special powers... ...of absorbing... ...all the information... ...of the Internet... ...place this hard drive... ...in a child... ...deep, deep into the mind... There, no one... ...will be able to find it. The idea was sound... ...easy... ..For a time... ...until long passed... ...that child... ...becomes lost... ...lost to me... ...but it's found... ...was found... ...my hard drive... All I had to do... ...was retrieve it. [Creaking) Deep voice: The city, how did it get destroyed? A dying wish granted to the already deceased. Her sacrifice is just the catalyst. And you justify death with her death? I justify life with her death. I justify the well being of everyone in this city... ...with her sacrifice you are a tyrant with a whistle around every person's neck ready to cry wolf at the slightest beat. How goes the witch hunt? There is only one witch i wish to burn. I am the cause of your current rule. I will take your animosity and... ...offer you a way out of this... ...cat and mouse game you're playing. Would you like to hold the knowledge... ...of all of the city in the palm of your hand? What would it cost, witch? Very little. There is a hard drive... ...in a young girl. Retrieve her, and I'll Grant you access to all of the information. Where is she? Deep voice: Explains why he made his two minions follow up on the hanged girl. I did as you asked... ...but Cain hasn't done what you said he would. Now he's on this little rampage of vengeance. This did not go as you said it would. Crypt: Fear not what happened. But fear what will be. Markus: Tell me where she is... ...and I'll get it for you. Crypt: In a cave northwest of here, on the outskirts of town. And I thought she was taking care of the two of you. Depends on who you're referring to. I was sent... By me... Witch! What-- what is going on here? We had a deal. I fulfilled my deal. You did not. This cave... ...and these two... ...protect the last remnants of the red rain... ...for me. Then what the hell did you need me for? To distract... ...unleash chaos in the city... ...and a victim. It has been far too difficult to get one more body down here. Markus: You think... Oops. Deep voice: So the witch manipulated all sides. When did she destroy the city? Your course has run its end. You're through. Your reign will end... tonight! Deep voice: And how are the two favoring? Egotan: So, I think we should end this. It's time to get serious. Cybersting: Yes, there are many that need help in the city. Egotan: Oh, you are right! Egotan: Can you see me? Cybersting: Don't litter. Bitch. Deep voice: The power of the device in her head.. ...brings out the witch. Stop. Don't harm him. Your reign shall end. You will not get the power you desire. Crypt: We'll see about this. Egotan: Where did everything go? Cybersting: Huh? Enough! Egotan: Egotan. Cybersting: Cybersting! Egotan: Oh, okay, lets see. Oh, alright. Lets-- i guess we'll just turn, right here. And, right, okay. That looks perfect. Deep voice: So, these two are my adversaries. Egotan: Ah! Oh! Ow! I hit my hand. - Egotan! - Cybersting! Deep voice: When did they die? Computer: You killed them... Four days ago. |
