Sembreak time! Glitched Script and Production Update

We've been working on the rewrite of the script for quite sometime now and I'm glad that we're at 50% (again). Actually, we already reached that 50% before but this time its a whole lot better. Lots more plot devices, interesting scenes, meaningful conversations & more character development. Ok, so without further ado, I re-present to you the partial Glitched script version 2.0.

Expect this to be a lot better than the first draft. Not to worry, no need for retakes of the scenes we already shot, except for a few scenes lacking expression. So anyway, its sembreak and this was the time when we all had planned to shoot full blast with full cast & crew. We haven't started anything yet but we will soon, I'm preparing one of the scenes already. Since these two weeks of sembreak is the only time when everyone's free, we must prioritize the scenes which require the most people, let's say, the NPC encounters. So, in line with this, I propose to have the following scene shot by next week (If you don't know who some of the characters are, try reading the plot)

SCENE 12
EXT. PLAZA - EVENING
CHARACTERS: EDWARD, LEO, ETHAN, JENNY, NPC COMMANDER, NPCS

After traveling a distance, a large explosion blasts off in their path. After the smoke clears, they are surrounded by NPCs. Edward summons his sword.

EDWARD Jenny, find some place to hide.
EDWARD Go! It’s me they want not you, now go!
JENNY Okay.
EDWARD Run!
The NPC Commander appears, leading the squad.
NPC COMMANDER Surrender yourself, convict, or we shall be forced to use violent measures.

Edward fends off some of the soldiers, but their number is too great for him to handle. As they continue to surround him, a powerful blast drives most of the soldiers away. Ethan shows up in front of them, in an elevated position.

ETHAN A fascinating display of power, however so immature. Ah, commander, quite a pleasure seeing you here.
NPC COMMANDER You. Thanks for saving us the trouble of finding you. All units open fire!

Ethan quickly rushes to where Jenny was hiding and holds her by the neck as hostage. He threatens to stab her with his sword.

EDWARD Jenny!
NPC COMMANDER Hold your fire!
ETHAN Hehehe. Just as I thought. Your sympathy is what makes you weak.
EDWARD Let her go! She has nothing to do with this.

Edward tries to step forward but the NPCs oppose him from moving. He clenches his fist in rage.

NPC COMMANDER What do you want?
ETHAN The boy holds something of value to me. Kid, hand over the sphere and your beloved damsel goes free.
Edward remembers about the sphere the Gunman had given him.
ETHAN You know what I’m talking about. You’ve been given one, haven’t you?
NPC COMMANDER Alpha, secure that sphere, don’t let him get his hands on it.

Edward brings out the sphere, and without hesitation throws it to Ethan before the NPCs were able to grab it. Ethan grabs the sphere. He does not keep his word and stabs Jenny anyway, then throwing her body down. Edward exclaims in shock.

NPC COMMANDER Dammit! Open fire! All units open fire! Don’t let him get away!

Before long, Ethan had already disappeared in the mist. Edward bursts out in rage and pushes away all the NPCs surrounding him. The other NPCs open fire at him as he tries to run to Jenny. He blocks their bullets with his sword whilst hacking and slashing everyone in his way. He drops his sword halfway along the way. Before he gets to reach Jenny, several men surround his side, beating him up with the back of their rifles, while another soldier points a gun to his forehead from the front. He is helpless and desperate. He no longer fears the rifle pointed at his head or the guns of the men surrounding him. Just then, a man walks into the scene and towards them. He takes the soldier in front of Edward, grabs him by the neck and blasts him away with his gauntlet, damaging other NPCs behind Edward as well. It was Leo, the renegade vigilante. The NPCs let go of Edward and turn their attention to Leo. Edward falls to his knees in exhaustion. He can barely crawl to where Jenny lies.

LEO Where’d he go? Where’d Ethan go?
EDWARD He… got away.
LEO Damn.
Leo walks past Edward and towards the squadrons of soldiers facing him.
LEO I’ll take care of this.
NPC COMMANDER Get him!

The NPCs open fire as Leo walks calmly towards the middle of the squadron. All bullets passed right through him, his wounds healing instantly. He was invincible to the soldier’s guns whose bullets proved futile. After the soldiers empty their clip, Leo cocks his gauntlet and does a thrusting attack towards the soldiers. The NPCs are taken down one by one, using only his fists and legs. Edward tries desperately to crawl towards Jenny’s dying body with whatever strength he has left. Leo, while fighting, grabs Edward’s dropped sword from the ground and swings it towards the enemies, spinning around in an orbit and slicing through soldiers while he beats up the other men with his fists (AKA Roundtrip). He finishes off the last man in the squad just in time to grab the boomeranging sword which he strikes back into the ground.

NPC COMMANDER Fallback! All teams fallback!

Edward finally reaches Jenny and takes her in his arms. He looks deep into her eyes before they slowly close. The commander gathers what’s left of his team and retreats back to base. The wounds all over Leo’s body start to heal until he is perfectly healthy again.

As much as I want to have this scene shot as soon as possible, we have a huge amount of prerequisites before it can even be started:

Edward, Ethan and Leo must have their costumes as well as their weapons
(Broadsword, buster sword & gauntlet, respectively. Estimated to cost around P5000)
At least 5 NPCs must have their costumes (A total of P6750 for 5 guys)

Aside from that, we'll need a little kung-fu and a load of fighting spirit. Please be prepared guys. I'll contact everyone as soon as we're set.
