"Vengeance: A tale of two Riots"
by Sheri Vaega

FADE IN:

EXT. GRAVEYARD - DAY

Rain pours down on the twins KAZIAH and LEARA, as they look down, emotionless, at their parent’s grave. 

A branch snaps, the twins run for cover. The sound of the battle range on in the distance. 

EXT. GRAVEYARD EXIT - DAY

KAZIAH and LEARA walk over freshly dead bodies. KAZIAH wipes blood off his sword with his cloak.

EXT. TOWN STREET - DAY

The twins reach the town, they see families shopping together, the look at each other with pained memories.

FADE TO BLACK:

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

KAZIAH and LEARA are stirred from their sleep. They sneak to the door and peak through. Blood is everywhere, their parents lie lifeless on the floor. A group of men are searching the house for the children.

KAZIAH and LEARA silently gasp and flee to the window.

FADE TO BLACK:

EXT. TOWN - DAY

KAZIAH and LEARA are psyching each other up. When KAZIAH gets hit in the head with a ball, he yells at a bunch of kids and gives chase.

KAZIAH has a vision of himself and his sister at their age, he realised these kids are orphans like himself, he stops and calls the kids over to him.

Most of them hang back in awe, but one kid, KANE, comes forward and starts asking the twins about their swords. KAZIAH shows him and smiles at the boy.

They invite him to join them in their soccer game. KAZIAH looks to LEARA for approval she smiles and nods and leaves the boys to play. 

EXT. SOCCER FIELD - DAY

KAZIAH is winning at soccer, but is suddenly distracted.

EXT. SHOPS – DAY

LEARA gets hit by a tranquilizer dart and falls to the ground.

EXT. SOCCER FIELD – DAY

KAZIAH turns and looks to where the tranquilizer was fired, two men stand aiming at him, and he puts his sword up just in time to deflect the dart.

He turns see the men kidnapping LEARA, he turns again and yells at the kids to run. All get away except for KANE, They are surrounded and KAZIAH tries to protect the kids but KANE gets stabbed in the chest. KAZIAH screams in rage.

KAZIAH gets into battle stance, eyes his opponents carefully, within seconds he has killed all the assailants. 

KAZIAH picks up KANES body and walks off the pitch.

EXT. ORPHANAGE DOOR - EVENING

KAZIAH, still holding KANE, knocks at the orphanage door, the matron answers, wailing in distress. KAZIAH hands over the child and he whispers something in her ear, she nods and closes the door.

KAZIAH turns, visible anger on his face, puts his hood on and runs into the night.

EXT. FOREST - NIGHT

KAZIAH is running swiftly through the forest, tracking the path of the killers.

KAZIAH stops, hears yelling, finds a good vantage point hiding in a tree, to observe.

EXT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

KAZIAH examines from a distance as enemies carry LEARA up to the entrance. An unknown man bursts out of main door yelling at everyone. KAZIAH watches with confusion, not understanding who he is.

KAZIAH waits and watches, when he knows everyone is inside he climbs the building up to a vent and enters.

INT. VENT - NIGHT

KAZIAH crawls through vent, starring into each room as he quietly passes. Through the fourth vent he sees her.

INT. VENT TO LEARAS ROOM - NIGHT

LEARA is whispering to a MAN whose face KAZIAH cannot make out. He finally sees his face it is the man he saw outside the warehouse earlier.

 

INT. LEARAS HOLDING CELL - NIGHT

KAZIAH drops down in front of LEARA and stabs his blade through the man’s stomach, he starts coughing up blood, KAZIAH looks into his eyes confused as enemy smiles back at him.

The man is, ENEMY, confessing that he is KAZIAH and LEARAS father. KAZIAH frozen in place as LEARA pushes him out of the way and pulls the sword out of their father.

Door unlocks and swings open as UNKWOWN MAN walks in, KAZIAH confused noticing the man he just stabbed wasn’t the man from outside.

UNKWOWN MAN laughs at ENEMY on ground. He introduces himself as LEE, ENEMY’s brother. LEE demands his soldiers to fix up his brother. Then LEE turns away slamming the door shut behind him.

KAZIAH frozen in place looks towards LEARA, she reassures him that there father is still alive.

The room fills with smoke. The twins are getting drowsy, they look at each other then they fall unconscious.
