INT. THOMAS’S HOUSE - NIGHT

FREEZE FRAME on the door bursting open with many men entering.

UNFREEZE.

The door busts open. Numerous corporation soldiers pile in followed by Malevolance, her whip unfurled. More men are behind her.

Lucy is in the kitchen and grabs a pan. Vetta and Idris are immediately up with blades in hand and Tobias, who was on the couch eating, leaps over it, his small blade in his hand.

TOBIAS

I’ll kill ya all!!!!

IDRIS

In the name of the Goddess!!!

INT. THOMAS’S HOUSE - NIGHT

FREEZE FRAME: bodies everywhere.

UNFREEZE.

Thomas enters. The house is covered in dead bodies, they all wear a uniform with the corporate image of the Loki Corp on their shirts. Blades are scattered about.

Thomas sees Idris, gutted against a wall, and a pile of dead bodies around her. Her twin daggers are still in her hands. He looks down at her. There must be over twenty dead bodies in the house.

THOMAS

Thank you, my friend, for everything. You showed them the price of sharing blades with you.

He moves into the bedroom, then back out. He looks around one last time and sees there is no Lucy, Tobias or Vetta. On the ground he sees Tobias’s dagger embedded in one of the mens’ heads. He pulls it out, looks at it, then looks off.

He takes Tobias’s knife and slices his hand, blood dripping onto the ground. He pulls the cloth off the Goddess altar and drips blood onto it.

THOMAS

I’m coming for answers, Lady Spider, woman or no woman. Blood is ever the price of the Goddess. You will be the fourth.

A close-up of the Battle Mask on the wall. Then a close up on Thomas’s face, his eyes completely blood red.

FREEZE FRAME.

A new image appears.

INT. THE SPIDER’S DEN - NIGHT

FREEZE FRAME:

Thorn in mid air flying away from a stalking Thomas wearing the mask. He is holding Thistle by hair, facing her forward. Her face is bloody, his other hand holds his dagger.

GFX: The image moves onto the map. It enlarges over the map then blows up in to --

INT. THE SHARKS DOMAIN - NIGHT

Cyber, small stilettos in her hands, looking down at the dead Shark. A look of disgust mars her face.

CYBER

Two years, two fucking years. The Osiris Consortium put a lot of money and time to get me in your circle. I let you stick your cock in me and play the silly fuck doll. And all for shit. We will have this city. The Godiva Corp is dead and rotting, I will put it to it’s final rest.

To her side comes in Bunny holding a computer chip. She is now dressed as a warrior of Shadow, of the Crone. Cyber looks back and nods.

CYBER

Did you get it?

Bunny smiles.

BUNNY

Of course I did, it’s what I do. (Shows data chip) I have every piece of dirty little secrets The Spider had on all the elite of this city.

Cyber looks content.

CYBER

And what of The Spider.?

BUNNY

Oh she is currently playing with our killer of killers. But do not worry if he doesn’t finish the job I will and lay the blame at his feet.

Cyber nods and looks back at The Shark.

CYBER

This City is ripe for the taking.

Image wavers on her looming over a dead Shark.

INT. EMPEROR’S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Sheets are moving with people under them.

UNFREEZE.

LILITH

Helena, your tongue is the choo choo choo that could. Keep dancing that mouth meat, god damn Socrates, the best beat that ever bounced in the soda pop world.

A tinkling laugh as Helena’s head pops up.

HELENA

You’re a delightful little witch. We have a veritable ocean down here.

THE EMPEROR

Lovely, lovely ladies. Such a portrait of beauty.

Helena props her head out of blanket. The Emperor stands there with Helena’s favorite knife in one hand alongside an extremely tortured Vetta, barely alive. She is being held up by two guards.

HELENA

Oh, what have we here?

The Emperor rubs his gigantic belly.

THE EMPEROR

A gift for you, beloved. Mr. Cortican brought us toys. This is one of a few that our recent troublemaker prizes, such wondrous fortune. A whore, an orphan and this, a daughter of that lovely religion of three bitches on an altar.

Helena jumps up. She wears a wrap, see through top.

HELENA

And you will let me play with them?

THE EMPEROR

Well, the whore is entertaining some of my guards doing what she does best. The orphan I gave to Mr. Cortican’s little pet, but the third, my beautiful violent Empress, this one, is all yours.

HELENA

Devilishly scrumptious. Lily, entertain yourself somewhere else for a bit.

LILITH

Sure thing, ice cream. This ain’t really my thing. I’ll go play with Delilah for a bit, see what she’s up to in this carnivorous labyrinth.

Helena comes towards camera while The Emperor bows, holding her favorite dagger out. She plucks it from his palm, a devilish smile on her face.

FREEZE FRAME.

INT. TORTURE ROOM - NIGHT

Lucy is tied to a doctor’s gurney, her dress in tatters, legs spread.

Several guards stand in line, the first one, up front, starts to unbutton his pants as another is pulling his up and walking away.

Lucy is bloodied and battered, barely conscious. Malevolance holds the chain to a chained Tobias, also bloodied, crying, as he is forced to watch. Malevolance laughs hysterically.

TOBIAS

Leave her the fuck alone!!!! I’ll kill you all. I’ll gut ya. Quit hurting her.

Malevolance smacks him.

MALEVOLANCE

Glorious, beautiful art. This is just the beginning for you gutter trash. Watch her get plowed by an endless line of men.

Lucy, through bloody closed eyes, looks at Tobias.

LUCY

It’s okay Tobias, he will come and kill them all.

The guard fucking her slaps her.

GUARD

Shut up whore and take it

Close up of Lucy’s eyes, tears.

FREEZE FRAME.

GFX: The Image of Lucy comes back out to the map. The reticle comes out from the image and Gold Town to the full map.

Letters write themselves in blood “The Goddess calls her due.” The reticle moves to Demon’s Cove and to an image of --

INT. THE SPIDER’S DEN - NIGHT

FREEZE FRAME: Thorn in mid air and Thomas with Thistle by the hair.

UNFREEZE.

Thorn lands on the ground, rolls and comes back up with her two punch daggers in hand. Thomas holds a blood covered Thistle, who is barely conscious.

The Spider looks down from her throne. She waves her hand and every whore, male and female, in the room, pulls out a weapon. Some from under pillows, others from behind couches or out of their hair.

THE SPIDER

Not only do you walk upon the Spider’s web, but you dare, dare to wear the sacred mask of our order. I care not your bloodlines. That a man, a man would dare to touch let alone wear our order’s most revered symbol. Hecate should of strangled you at birth.

Thomas cuts Thistle’s throat, dropping her.

THOMAS

I dare, even more. Too much of this life have I bowed to other’s truths. I have found mine.

THE SPIDER

You think you shall survive this meeting? Look around you. You shall die unmourned this night.

THORN

Let me gut him, Mistress. Let me avenge my sister’s blood.

THOMAS

Blood, always comes back to blood. Let it be so. I shall unleash a river of it. Nothing in the hell of this city will keep me from finding what I want to know. So come, let me show you what real hunger is.

Thorn and Thomas simultaneously charge each other. Everyone else charges at Thomas as well. The screen washes with blood.

Different variations of blood curl across scene. Thomas walks away from The Spider on her throne, a blade PINNING her chest to it’s back and another planted in her skull.

He walks past a copious pile of bodies everywhere, his clothing is rent and he is covered in blood. He walks past Thorn’s broken body laying over that of her sister, Thistle.

FREEZE FRAME on his masked, hooded face. His eyes blood

GFX: The image pulls out to the map. The reticle moves from the image in Demon’s Cove to Gold Town. Letters crawl across the map: “The Final Concerto.” Then zeros in on --

EXT. ALLEY NEAR GODIVA CORP - NIGHT

FREEZE FRAME on Thomas kneeling, hiding in the alley.

UNFREEZE.

Thomas looks at the Godiva Corp. Building, contemplating. He sees two guards, armed with long blades on their backs, at the entrance.

He notices the cameras as well. He spins, a throwing blade in hand when suddenly, a beautiful woman, Eve, dressed scantily, moves out from the shadows, hands raised in peace.

EVE

I wouldn’t use that if I were you. I believe I’m the only friend you have within this place. Well not counting the few tied up and being tortured, but don’t know if there’s a lot of help for you from that realm.

Thomas does not put away the blade, he just lowers it.

THOMAS

And you are?

EVE

The only chance you have. Now wait for it.

She smiles and winks. The lights on corp go out, then lower lighting after a moment pops back on.

EVE

The cameras are now out. The Emperor’s handmaidens are my creatures and as we speak taking care of the guards between you and your goals. All of what you seek is towards the top. There is an underground passage I’ll show you that will take you to a private elevator. It will get you near your goal. You’re on your own after that.

THOMAS

Why are you doing this?

She starts to walk away, but turns back.

EVE

Does it matter? Without it you would have no chance. Now come, our window of opportunity is small and getting smaller. I shall show you the passage, then our paths head different directions.

INT. EMPEROR’S HALLWAYS - NIGHT

The three Handmaidens are killing the guards. They first seduce them, then kill them with a blade. They wipe the blood on themselves with malicious smiles.

INT. EMPEROR’S HALLWAYS - ROOM - NIGHT

Two GUARDS lean against the opposite wall.

GUARD 1

Can’t believe we finally just got transferred over here. Sloppy seconds is one thing, but sloppy twentieths? I’ll be sticking my meat into a barrel full of cum.

Guard 2 laughs.

GUARD 2

Well, I’ll take your turn too if you don’t want to pork the whore. All that cum just gonna make it warmer and all lubed, easy plumbing.

He motions fucking.

GUARD 1

Hell no, you ain’t taking my turn. I'm gonna get my fucking in. Off subject, but anyone find out what happened to the power?

GUARD 2

Hank over in Tech said the main power breaker blew. Said they all on it. But Luke and Boje need to hurry up and get fucking done. I want to get my cock in some holes. They been in there --

A knife lands in his head.

The other guard goes for the handle of the blade on his back, but a flying shadow is onto him, grabbing the back of his neck while a blade punches up and up over and over again into his gut.

Thomas lets him fall, a close up on him, covered in blood, wearing his battle mask.

THOMAS

Death is too easy for you.

Thomas kicks the door in and sees Lucy strapped to the table, bloody as bloody gets, her face a mess, legs spread, dress in tatters, blood all over her.

A guard who had been in the middle of fucking her, his back to Thomas, begins to turn. Another, his hand in his pants who had been perving, pulls his hand out to go for his blade.

Thomas roars, leaps at the guard going for the blade stabbing him in the groin. He then spins, taking the throat out of the man turning, then he comes back up to slam his blade into the skull of the first. He stabs another ten times roaring into his body till the body is a blood pulp.

He sheathes his blade and runs towards Lucy, pulling her straps off. She attempts to struggle, not knowing who it is, but then cracks her eyes and smiles, face bloody.

THOMAS

I... I’m so...

Lucy touches his lips.

LUCY

I knew... Knew you’d come. Knew you’d slaughter these... I probably don’t look... so... pretty... and see... See what they did to my fucking new dress? Bastards.

THOMAS

I’m so sorry, mistress.

LUCY

Don't call... My name is Lucy.

THOMAS

Lucy.

LUCY

Tobias, get Tobias.

She attempts to laugh but passes out. Thomas still has one leg to untie as a razored whip lands around his throat. His hands going to it as he is pulled back out of the room by a laughing Malevolance.

Thomas is pulled off his feet and dragged, all under limited lighting from back up generators.

A smiling Demon, holding his helmet and leaning on his battle axe, smiles while Malevolance moves in. She wraps the whip around his throat in coils, grabbing his hair and turning him towards The Demon after licking the blood on his face.

MALEVOLANCE

Tastes so good, lover. This death I will savor for endless nights.

The Demon laughs.

THE DEMON

I’m very impressed you’ve gotten this far. Something tells me you had help though, and I believe I know the particular birdy and her ambitions, but her treachery will be taken care of soon. Time to end this, I think. And yes, my pet,this fellow was troublesome, his death will be a piece of art we will not forget soon.

He puts his helmet on and shifts his axe to his shoulder. Thomas struggles, but cant breathe, razors cutting into his throat.

MALEVOLANCE

Do it lover, make him meat.

A blade suddenly exits her chest. Lucy, battered, leans into her ear.

LUCY

Keep waiting, cunt.

Lucy collapses.

LUCY

Go get him, love. They ruined my dress.

She smiles.

Thomas’s fury is unmatched. He pulls the whip off his neck. The Demon roars and pulls his battle axe up.

THOMAS

With pleasure.

He wipes his hand in blood of his neck, chanting under his breath, his eyes become blood red.

THE DEMON

The whore will die a thousand fucking deaths.

THOMAS

You end now.

The Demon charges and Thomas runs back at him. At the last second, Thomas slides to his knees hooking his arm around one of the Demon’s legs, laying him face first onto the ground, his axe flying further down the hall.

Thomas leaps on his back and slams his dagger into the side of the Demon’s neck over and over again. He looks over at Lucy who is unconscious.
