Written by Johnny Patel
*****************************************
(An Olympian male warrior advance to Queen Hepthia but she takes him out with her sword, Another one runs to her but she swings her shield at him which subdues him. She sp©ts King Dracula about to cross Olympia)
Queen Hepthia: No!
(She clim-bs on t©p a horse and heads to the borders, Intercepting King Dracula)
King Dracula: I’m at the brink of triumph. Step aside, Hepthia.
Queen Hepthia: I won’t allow you to do this.
King Dracula: You won’t be willing to fight your own husband now would you?
Queen Hepthia: You are not my husband, I lost my husband when he sold his soul to Thanatos.
King Dracula: (sm-irks) You may keep on being the queen of the Olympians but I am now a Supreme overlord. The world will tremble at my feet. Now step aside.
Queen Hepthia: (enraged) You’ll pay for what you did to my son! I only hope you prove more skill than cu-pidity….
(Queen Hepthia angrily swings her sword at him but he blocks the attack with his own sword, He tries to strike her but instead he gets a knee to his face, King Dracula then uses his vampire strength to hit Queen Hepthia and she falls to her knees)
King Dracula: It didn’t have to be this way my love…
(Just as he’s about to kill her, Alexandra and two other Olympian female warriors shoots King Dracula in the n£¢k with garlic darts)
King Dracula: (he takes out one of the garlic darts from his throat) Ahhh! What is this?!
Queen Hepthia: (she gets up from the ground) Thanatos couldn’t have made you truly invincible. For every strength, There is a weakness.
King Dracula: (g@sps) Garlic…. (He falls to the ground due to the garlic which weakens him)
Alexandra: Should we kill him my queen?
King Dracula: (weakly) I cannot be killed. I am immortal!
Queen Hepthia: You may be immortal, But you will pay for your sins.
(Alexandra and the female warriors shoots more garlic darts in King Dracula’s n£¢k, subduing him. Then they place him in a coffin filled with garlic which will prevent him from harnessing his powers, They put chains around it then they later place the coffin in a tomb)
Alexandra: A wise decision my queen.
Queen Hepthia: (sorrowfully) There he will remain, For eternity.
(Later on)
(Queen Hepthia addresses Azal and the surviving male Olympian warriors)
Queen Hepthia: Your leader has been defeated and for what he has done, He’s been condemned to eternal darkness. You will follow my orders now!
Azal: I only follow King Dracula’s orders.
Queen Hepthia: (nods) Very well. You’ve made your choice. (To the female warriors) Take them away.
(The female warriors takes Azal and the male warriors to the dungeon)
(Days later)
(Queen Hepthia and some Olympians bury Malin)
Queen Hepthia: May the gods watch over you as your soul rests in perfect peace, my son.
(She drops a flower on his grave)
MANY YEARS LATER
(In Olympia)
(An adult Malinda spars with Alexandra on the training grounds)
Malinda: You know, Alexandra, I said a prayer for you last night.
Alexandra: Did you, Malinda? How kind.
Malinda: Yeah, I prayed that the gods will inspire you with a strategy that might end your numerous defeats at my hands.
(Alexandra smiles at Malinda then lunges forward at her and strikes her with her staff, Malinda retaliates and kicks her in the stomach then tries to hit Alexandra with her own staff but Alexandra breaks the staff in two then takes a broken p@rt of the staff and points it at Malinda)
Alexandra: (sm-irks) Praise the gods.
(Malinda gr-abs a fist full of Alexandra’s hair and knocks her onto her back, Defeating her)
Malinda: Obviously I’m not praying ha-rd enough.
Alexandra: (slightly angry) If you were not the Queen’s daughter, I would have….
(Before she completes her s£ntence, Queen Hepthia walks into the training ground)
Queen Hepthia: Well done Malinda. But be gentler next time, Believe it or not, There was a time when Alexandra used to be the strongest warrior in Olympia.
Alexandra: And still would be, If given a chance in a real battle.
Queen Hepthia: Well I’m afraid there’s never going to be another battle.
Malinda: If there’s never going to be another battle, Then what’s the point of all of these training?
Queen Hepthia: We train because we must always remain vigilant and re-ady. (sighs de-eply) I once let my guard down and paid a very terrible price.
Malinda: What price?
Queen Hepthia: Follow me, my child.
(As Queen Hepthia and Malinda leaves, Alina pas-ses by while re-ading a book)
Alexandra: (gro-an s) Ugh. Alina, Could you plea-se put down a book for once.
Alina: (jovially) Absolutely…..not. Books are what fill my spirit and keeps me happy, We even nee-d to add some new books to our libr@ry. (She giggles as she walks away)
Alexandra: (growls) Grrrr….
(Meanwhile)
(Queen Hepthia takes Malinda to King Dracula’s tomb, Which is guarded by Philomena)
Malinda: Where’re we going, Mother?
Queen Hepthia: We are alre-ady here.
(Malinda sees Philomena)
Philomena: (she bows to Queen Hepthia) My queen…
Malinda: Philomena? What’re you doing here?
Queen Hepthia: After her left ear was cut off in our last ballet, I decided to place her on guard over the tomb.
Malinda: Ohhh. So, What lies in here?
Queen Hepthia: Your father, Dracula.
Malinda: My father? I thought you told me…
Queen Hepthia: I lied to you because I wanted to protect you my child, But now it is time to reveal the truth. (She t©uçhes the coffin) Here lies your father, King Dracula…. Handsome, courageous, strong… He was the King of Olympia and he had loyal servants beckoning at his feet but all that wasn’t enough, He wanted more power. And with that, He made a pact with Thanatos, The god of death. And in exchange for power, He sacrificed your twin brother, Malin and declared a war upon us. For his sins, He was captured and placed in this coffin with garlic surrounding him, To prevent him from awakening.
(Queen Hepthia takes out fresh garlic from her robe and drops them around the coffin)
Malinda: What happens if he’s awakened?
Queen Hepthia: Then trouble awaits us all, Which is why no matter what happens, We must always keep our guard up….(sighs) Your father wasn’t satisfied with what he had, He wanted to be ruler over all. And in the end, It destroyed him.
(Malinda stares at King Dracula’s chained coffin)

(Malinda t©uçhes the coffin)
Malinda: I wonder what he looks like…
Queen Hepthia: He’s not what you imagine him to be. He’s a monster, After he made a deal with Thanatos, He was reborn as a vampire. (she looks outside the tomb) We should head back to the castle, It’s almost sundown.
(Later that evening)
(Queen Hepthia and Malinda returns to the castle)

Queen Hepthia: You should go to rest, We’ve had a long day.
Malinda: I will. Goodnight mother.
Queen Hepthia: Goodnight my child
(Queen Hepthia k!sses Malinda on her forehead then puts off the candle as she leaves the room. When she leaves, Malinda opens her eyes and goes to the window)
Malinda: I wonder what lies beyond the borders….
(Meanwhile)

(At a bar)
Brittany: plea-se Andy, I’m really sorry for what I did. Give me a second chance.
Andy: A second chance? You cheated on me with my fv¢king brother!!!
Brittany: (she looks around to see if anyone heard what he said) Shhhh, Keep your voice down. Look, I know what I did and I said i’m sorry, I was drun!kthat night. I didn’t know what I was doing.
Andy: fv¢k you, Brittany. It’s over between us.
(Just as Andy leaves, A man named Nathan walks up to Brittany and sits besides her)
Nathan: (drun!k) Hey beautiful…
Brittany: (scoffs) And who are you supposed to be?
Nathan: The name’s Nathan Hills.
(Nathan gr-abs a liquor bottle from behind the counter and pours a sh0t for himself and Brittany)
Nathan: I’m disappointed a pretty lady like you was begging that jackas-s. You nee-d someone more durable
Brittany: And who would that be?
Nathan: (sm-irks)
(At a h0tel)
Nathan: I’d like to pay for a room plea-se.
h0tel receptionist: Okay. (Hands him a key) Room 115.
Nathan: (He collects the key) Thank you.
(Nathan and Brittany enter the be-droom, in a heated make out session. They rip each other’s clothes off and Nathan continues k!ss!ngBrittany on the n£¢k)
(Next Day)
(In Olympia)
Alina: Good morning Princess Malinda.
Malinda: (moodily) Good morning Alina…
Alina: Why the sad face?
Malinda: I’ve been caged up in here my whole life and i’m tired of it!
Alina: Your mother just wants to protect you. You should un-derstand that.
Malinda: I wish to see what lies beyond the borders of Olympia, But I know my mother will never let me.
Alina: Why do you want to go beyond the borders?
Malinda: I’m just curious.
Alina: Perhaps you nee-d something to divert your mind away from it.
Malinda: Like what?
Alina: You know what keeps me busy? Books.
Malinda: Of course. (She sighs and looks outside her window) You wouldn’t un-derstand, Alina.
(In America)
(At the h0tel room, Nathan wakes up)
Nathan: Uhhh, What happened? (He remembers) Damn it, I got drun!kagain. (He looks over to Brittany and sees her fast asleep) Perfect.
(He carefully gr-abs his shi-t and boots then ti-ptoes out of the room)
(Later on)
(Nathan returns to his ap@rtment and finds his friends, Cooper and Hank)
Nathan: Cooper? Hank? What the hell are you guys doing in my house? And how did you get in?
Cooper: You’ve forgotten we have a key to your ap@rtment?
Nathan: Uhhh, What are you doing in here?
Cooper: We c@m£ to tell you something. We have a plan for a new hiest.
Nathan: What’s the catch?
Cooper: (He puts on his tablet and shows him a picture) A rare gem worth $10 million. It’s sealed in the National museum. If we’re able to get that gem, we’ll be rich.
Hank: We’ll be more than rich, We’ll be kings.
Nathan: (sm-irks) I’m in.
Hank: We can finally quit our lives as thieves and start our lives anew as millionaires.
Cooper: Ok Here’s the plan, This night, When the museum closes, Only few policemen will be there guarding the gem, Hank and I will try to distract them while you’ll sneak in throu-gh the ceiling vent and when you’re at the vault, I’ll let you know. Then you’ll hoist yourself down, Cut open the glas-s enclosing the gem, get it and get out and Voila! We’ll be filthy rich.
Nathan: Great plan…
(Meanwhile)
(In Olympia)
(Malinda goes to the dinner table)
Alexandra: Oooohhh, Look who c@m£ out to supper.
Malinda: (To Alexandra) Ugh, Don’t start.
Queen Hepthia: Are you feeling okay? You’ve been in your room all day.
Malinda: Just a little nostalgia, I didn’t want to leave my be-d. But here I am!
Queen Hepthia: Sit down and eat. The servants made your favorite supper.
Malinda: Mashed potatoes? Yum. (she sits down and eats) So Mother, I’ve been wanting to ask….What lies beyond the borders of Olympia?
Alexandra: Bad men and goofs.
Malinda: Very funny, Alexandra. (To Queen Hepthia) Mom?
Queen Hepthia: The outside world isn’t for us my daughter. And what exists there is none of our business.
Malinda: But aren’t you ever curious about it?
Queen Hepthia: Not at all, My duty is to Olympia and Olympia only. You should eat your meal before it goes cold.
(Queen Hepthia leaves the dining room as Malinda looks on in discomfiture)
(That night)
(In America)
(At the National museum)
Cooper: Are you two set?
Nathan: Yeah.
(Cooper and Hank enter the museum)
Cooper: Good evening officer…
Policeman: Hey. You’re not supposed to be in here.
Cooper: I know but a thief hijacked my phone and wallet in the parking lot over there…. (points)
(While they’re being distracted, Nathan sneaks into the museum and enters the ceiling throu-gh the ceiling vent, He crawls his way throu-gh it)
Nathan: (he t©uçhes his earbud) So Cooper, Which way next?
Cooper: (throu-gh the earbud) You’re alre-ady there.
(Nathan opens the vent then uses a rope to hoist himself down and he lands very gently)
Nathan: Jackpot.
(Nathan neatly cuts the glas-s open with a glas-scutter and when he takes out the gem, An alarm goes off. In a few seconds, He’s surrounded by numerous policemen )
Policeman 1: SURRENDER! Put your hands up in the air!
(The policemen points their guns at him)
Nathan: (he puts his hands up) Oh $h!t…
