[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 2

Fade In:

EXT. DOWNTOWN OFFICE PARK – AFTERNOON

A giant robot walks down the street. It vaporizes a car. A large hovercycle pulls up and INORIA and HAWKQUEEN get off.

FRANK NOBLE walks down the street, speaking into a cellphone.

FRANK

Yes, I've nearly got it working. Its pretty amazing stuff. So far its refracted literally everything that I've thrown at it. This could mean unlimited room temperature superconductivity...

Frank ignores the robot. Just another day and battle in the city. Hawkqueen and Inoria do battle against the robot in the background while DOCTOR SHADOWS gets out of a black sedan and follows Frank into his lab. Frank does not see Dr. shadows.

INT. LAB - AFTERNOON

Frank sighs, puts on a pair of goggles and fires up a laser which bounces off a thin sheet of something shiny and tinfoil like. (Reflexium.)

Doctor Shadows watches this, still unseen.

FRANK

If I coat it with a little of this... (Sprays something on the sheet)

The robot walks by the window. Inoria is hanging onto its leg, banging on it with something bulky and metal to utterly no effect.

Frank tries the laser again, this time it is much stronger.

Major Characters

Frank Noble (Grenademan) - A brilliant scientist in his late twenties; smart, idealistic, moderately handsome but hopelessly socially inept. His hidden alterego, "GRENADEMAN" always speaks in capital letters, possesses no fear whatsoever, and has a mirthful bizarrely screwed up perspective of good, evil and reality. He is insane.

Doc Shadows (Archelius deShade) - A strong powerful man, with noble features he always hides behind a gas mask and fedora. One of the first metas, he has telepathically tricked Death into leaving him alone to give himself immortality. He hates what metas have done to the world and is determined to make it a better place. At all costs.

Hawkqueen (Katrina Dasalgo) - A beautiful empath of the past generation. She is the paramount protector of the city and a skilled warrioress. She works with two empathicly linked hawks, Trouble and Double Trouble.

Inoria - (Jaycee Defoe) - A technowizard, sexy with a bizarre sense of humor. She is the protege of hawkqueen and hopelessly smitten by Frank Noble, despite his insanity. Likes things that explode.

Chainsaw Fred (Fred Noble) - Hates crazy idiots in costume. Owns a hardware store. Frank's pragmatic older brother. Mechanically brilliant, willing to do what must be done to protect his family. Even Frank when he puts on a costume.

J.R.R. Thorne - The villain. He is determined to trick Shadows into building a device which will allow him to steal the technological secrets of a generation and make him a very rich man. He hates metas and has developed a powerful PAC to help him do so.

[Seventh Seal] Page 94 - Chapter 6

Dedicated to my lovely wife Julia Carlson Ricks.  This was originally part of a deal for a cover and a graphic novel with an artist who is a friend of mine, but alas, she had other projects she had to move on to and reverted the rights of the script to me.  Someday I may ping her and ask to share with you the delightful art she did for the first chapter, but for now, words will have to suffice.

I'm not sure when, if ever, I'll be able to have this put to art.  Maybe a kickstarter someday but there are at least two other projects that must come before it; Forever West and a second Fate of Inglemia book.  But at least I can share the script with you.

I hope you enjoyed.  More content will appear from time to time here.  Enjoy!
