Act One
EXT. SMALL OLD ENGLISH COLONY TOWN- SALEM 1692- NIGHT
A fog begins to erode the town along with strong winds.
CUT TO:
INT. HOUSE OF THE LOCAL REVEREND- CHILDRENS BEDROOM
ABIGAIL and BETTY PARRIS lay on the floor of their bedroom both wearing black robes. The room is candle lit and there�s a pentagram ink painted on their mirror. They have a small alter set up on their drawer with a black cat on it. They stab it with a dagger and roll their eyes back to their sockets chanting a spell in Haitian. As blood spilled from the cat�s stomach, they let some go into a cup. They take some of the blood and wipe it on their forehead, chin, and cheeks. They both take a drink of the cat�s blood, cut their palms with the dagger and hold hands. They meditate for 4 seconds and one lays on the floor with candles beside her. While they still hold hands, they put both their free hands on the moving piece of a ouija board.
Abigail.
(chanting)
us. We come to you with willing souls,
with blood used to show our plead. We
offer our blood, will, words, and souls
as our sacrifice to call upon you and
the dark elements. Fill your presence
around this town, around this house,
and around this circle. Join with us
in creating the evil to add to the
dark flow of destructiveness making
us powerful dark creatures. Bring
forth your drawing powers of evil
and transform us into your vessels, so
that all may be turned into the image
and result of your essence. This we
say with all our will that�s free of
fear and doubt, which welcomes you.
The dark.
Betty sprinkles some herbs on top of Abigail that burst in fire in mid air.
EXT. OUTSIDE- NIGHT SKY
Thunder thrashes across the sky as the hard winds blow the trees to a bent with all the leaves scattering through the air.
CUT TO:
EXT. SALEM GRAVE YARD- THUNDER FRONT- NIGHT
GASPAR SOTOMAYOR
He got up and quickly limped another a couple of yards until another hound jumped right in his path about 8 feet away. It stood glaring and snarling at him. The other hound came running in back of him and stood 8 feet away glaring and snarling at him too. Gaspar grabbed his wavy brown hair in frustration. As both hounds pounced at him, he quickly jumped out of the way and the hounds started to devour each other.
Gaspar limped another couple of feet until he came across a mausoleum. He quickly got into the Mausoleum and strainly pushed a marble statue in front of the door to barricade it. He quickly limped to the other side closed the door and pushed a heavy stone in front of it. He walked to the huge marble tomb in the middle to rest his body on it, signed, and began to cry. All of the sudden, a big scary demon with red skin, yellow cat eyes, a long double chin, black claws, big bull horns, a fanged mouth, muscular features, and a long silk black cowl steps out from behind him. His name is BORACUS, General of Hell�s Demons.
BORACUS
Gaspar jumps up and turns around in surprise.
(Spanish accent)
taxing for you.
that you care about my well being?!
say truthfully that the way you
defeated my demon hounds was
impressive. Only someone of your
former stature could have pulled
it off.
(his eyes widen) I knew you had
something to do with what happened
to me! What did you do?! I demand--
position to demand anything from
anyone anymore bastard! You should
have left well enough alone Gaspar.
You weren�t ready. You dealt with
dark evil forces that you had no
comprehension of. Forces far greater
and far more powerful than anything
you heard about in church. And now...
well, it�s safe to say that your
blood will ensure the rapid growth
of my destined dark powers.
Gaspar takes a concealed stake out and with a grunt tries to plunge it into Boracus� heart but Boracus grabbed his wrist, snaps it back, and he lets out a loud whimper and drops the stake.
Predator of Evil. The generational
chosen one who fights the darkest
forces that threaten humanity. Ha,
ha, ha, ha. Without your powers
you�re nothing but a weak mortal
who would die far faster than the
humans you protect. It�s very humorous.
Your powers are who you are and
without them, you�re a worthless
nobody.
Boracus grabs Gaspar by his neck.
say that you�re all-powerful and
belong to great dark forces. But
yet, you had to cast some demonic
spell to strip me of my powers just
to beat me! And the funny part about
this whole thing is,(giggles) you
actually think you�ve prevailed!
You�re already contemplating a victory
you haven�t even achieved yet. I
don�t see any apocalyptic signs or
any drastic environmental changes.
Not even a slight tremor. All you
are is a demon that thinks he�s a
lot darker and scarier than what he
truly is. And even if you kill me now,
another Predator will be sent to take
my place. And another and another
and they�ll keep coming! Until they
wipe you off the face of God�s Earth.
Boracus tightens his hold on Gaspar neck.
won�t really matter if another
Predator comes. Because by the
time he�s prepped, the world will
be mine! You think about that. Think
about the fact that you failed in
your duty. Keep that in mine in the
5 seconds it takes you to die. And I
think it�s fitting for you to die
like the victims of the ones you hunt.
Boracus then starts to suck the blood out from his neck. As the life is drained out of him, Boracus drives his claws right through his chest. Gaspar�s body then drops to the floor in a wet plop. White energy swarms through Boracus� body.
PREDATOR IS FINALLY MINE!!!
The energy glows bright as thick bolts of white energy shot out of Boracus� hands and busted through the mausoleum ceiling and into the clouds of the thunder front where the energy widely dispersed.
EXT. OUTSIDE THE HOUSE- THUNDERSTORM
As 2 thunder bolts thrash together, the smoke that�s left behind is formed into 3 smoky demonic faces with electrical lines swarming all over their faces. They let out a wave of fog through their mouths that consumes the whole property in a thick blanket of mist.
INT. THE BED ROOM
An electrical ball floats in the window and sucks the fire from 2 candles near the window. The ball divides in two as it speeds to the girls. Half goes into Betty and the other half goes into Abigail.
BETTY
(speaking in Haitian)
we invoke thee!!!
The fire in the candles intensifies as Abigail floats into the air. Betty�s eyes glow with fire and Abigail�s eyes glow with thunder.
EXT. SALEM HIGH SCHOOL- MORNING
Day clouds fill the sky outside Salem High School for Academic Studies as students wait in the dirty, vandalized, litter filled, basketball court for the entrance to be opened. Kids play basketball, talk in groups, shoot dice, smoke cigarettes, tag their names on the walls with markers, dance to hip hop music, make-out with each other, and rap in free lance style. As they opened the entrance (the rap songs fades) and the students go in, a young student, RAFAEL DELAVEGA, is being cornered by a gang.
GANG LEADER
That you blindsided him with some
brass knuckles and put him in the
hospital!
no body! �E� is just lyin� �cause he don�t
want nobody to know that he don�t know
how to throw down propa�ly.
if we beat the shit out of you right now?!
The gang leader puts two fingers at Rafael�s profile.
now, you�re gonna be the one to get
beaten the shit out of.
Rafael snuffs the gang leader really hard in his face.
punk? (turns to his gang) Let�s do
this shit!
CUT TO:
We catch the first glimpse of our hero MARCUS PERON, the Predator of Evil of present day, making his way to school. He over hears a policeman talking to a man about odd occurrences.
POLICEMAN
occurrences came over the police
radio last night. One family reported
that their furniture was moving of
their own free will. A women reported
that her hair started falling out
after what she described as a white
spirit passed through her body. And
last night, residents say they heard
screaming, lion snarling, and a huge
struggle going down in Salem Park. Which
is exactly what we need with the
disappearance of the six locals on
with some kind of satanic cult.
effectively mysteriously. We haven�t
been able to speculate any suspects.
And there�s no logical explanation
for these odd occurrences. It�s
almost as if, 1692 was happening
all over again.
CUT TO:
INT. MARCUS� ROOM- LAST NIGHT
The thunder outside thrashes very loudly as Marcus quickly strikes up from his sleep. He rubs is head and slowly gets out of his bed. He opens his window to see a rainy thunderstorm coming down hard. As he turns his head, he slowly turns back sniffing the air outside. He puts a stealthy expression on his face and just climbs out the window in nothing but his slippers and black silk shorts.
CUT TO:
Marcus slowly walks through the park in the rain.
MARCUS
thing dark.
VICKY COLLINS, a girl with more to this story then meets the eye, is walking down a dirt road. As she took out her keys, she heard a sound in the bushes. She keeps walking ignoring the sound. She hears the sound again. As she walked toward the bushes, a big light blue demon with red eyes, yellow fangs, and a little bit of white hair on it�s bald head pops out the bushes.
She let�s out a loud scream but no one comes to her aid. She starts to run terrified down the dirt road. She bumps into two man.
MAN #1
(voice cracking)
(voice cracking)
The two men look at her with confusion but the demon pops out from the bushes and scratches the first man in his chest. The demon scratches the second guy in his face by cutting off his nose, and kills him by ripping out his esophagus. The other man turns into a demon, sprouts bat wings, and lets out a high pitch yell. As the demons walk up to Vicky, they hear a voice behind.
The first demon flies back three feet from impact. All stand silent for a moment staring at Marcus. But the second demon breaks the stalemate by letting out a high pitch cry as it charged Marcus. Marcus catches the demon by its arms, flips it over, and it flies back hitting the bark of a tree in an upside down position.
The other demon gets up and runs toward Marcus but Marcus grabs it by its neck and throws the demon back. It lands on a wooden bench that shatters on impact.
The second demon leaps off the foot of the tree flying to Marcus, grabbing him by his neck, lifting him off the ground, and flying a yard back trying to strangle the life out of him.
Marcus kicks the demon off with both his feet and semi-flips upright. He delivers a cross punch and a right hook to the demons face. He then grabs the demon by it�s shoulders, leaps five feet into the air breaking the arch of a park lamp post against the demons head, and semi-leap kicks the demon in the face.
The other demon grabs a sharp piece of wood as it gets up and attempts to run Marcus through. Marcus shits to his right, then dunks from a strike attempt to his head and hops from a sweep attack. As the demon tries to run Marcus through again, Marcus make an opening to grab the wood piece, spins around to deliver an elbow strike to the demons profile, kicks it up the chin, and jabs the wood piece in it�s neck hard making a clean wipe. As dark blue blood spews out from the demons headless body, it hits the ground and bursts into a scatter of white spirits fleeing.
As the second demon runs up to Marcus, he takes out his holy dagger from inside his shorts and sliced the demon in it�s stomach, spins around and plunges the dagger in it�s back. The demon burst into a scatter of white spirits. Marcus looks up and see�s that Vicky has totally disappeared.
CUT TO:
The Policeman and the local finish their conversation.
MAN
all this are angel dust addicted
rioters who are kidnapping our
people for black ritual sacrifices.
always strike when you least suspect it.
As the gang started to attack, Rafael takes them on one by one. He punches the first guy in the face. Then he punches the second guy in the stomach then his face, he does a double combo on the third guy, elbows the fourth guy in the stomach because he came on him from behind. But one of them hits the student over the head with a metal rod. As the gang got around the student ready to shoot him, Marcus comes on school grounds and says,
MARCUS
you leave him alone. He's a friend of
mine.
shit? Don�t expect to get outta this
un-sliced!
The gang surrounded him ready to attack. Marcus runs up and punches the first one in his face, gives a combo in the face to the next two, sweeps the next two off the ground, and gives a triple punch spin kick to the next guy.
The next one tries to stab him with a five-inch blade but Marcus caught his wrist, elbowed him in the stomach then his face, and twisted the blade out of his hand. Marcus hits the next guy with the blade handle right on his forehead knocking him out. Marcus knee�s the next one in the groin, spin kicks the next one in the face, throws the blade in the next one�s chest, punches the next one in the nose then backhands him across his jaw.
Marcus flips over to the other members. As the next member runs up to him, Marcus catches both his wrist, gives him a head butt, palm punches him in his chest twice, and knocks him out with a jaw snapping side kick. As the next guy charges Marcus, Marcus immediately knee kicks him in the groin, delivers a forward punch to his face and flips him over by his sweater. The next ones comes delivering fours punches but Marcus blocks them all, kicks the guy in his stomach, spins around and elbows him in the back of the neck knocking him out.
Marcus blocks two punches from the next guy and cross punches him hard in the face so that he staggers to the side allowing Marcus to immediately handle the next guy. Marcus blocks three punches from the next guy, grabs him by the neck and pushes him back. He stands back in a fighting stance as the two block his front view. The first one charges Marcus an attempts to throw a jab but Marcus grabs his forearm, spins around sending the guy to the side as he knocks the other gang member out with a sharp right hook. Marcus then turns around and backhands the side guy in his face.
Two more come in front of him. Marcus double combos the first one and sweeps him off the floor. He palm punches the next one in the face and back flips so that Marcus� legs kick him in the face with more force.
The leader comes running up to Marcus with a seven-inch blade. Marcus kicks the blade out of his hand into the air, spin chops him in his neck, catches the blade as it falls, and slashes the gang leader in the stomach three times. The gang left running dragging the body with them. Marcus turns to Rafael.
(shocked)

like that before!

more. Take care of yourself.

They do a pound-hug and walk into the school.
She stops in front of a run-down apartment building. She rushes inside and up the stairs to her apartment.
INT. INSIDE THE APARTMENT
Vicky begins to pack her clothing in a suitcase when a knock at the door startles her. The person lets herself in.
VICKY

Vicky quickly opens the envelope and pulls out a small piece of folded paper. She unfolds it to discover the words �We�re Coming� written in blood. Her eyes fill with tears as she falls back against the wall.

Marcus gets up to walk out and turns back to face her at the doorway.
for welcoming me to Salem High in
such a comforting manner.
INT. MARCUS WALKING INTO THE HALL- A CONFRONTATION.
As Marcus walks out of the counselor�s office, he see�s a crowd build up at the end of the hall. Rafael and what looks like a gang member from this morning. A big guy by the name of MATEO ESPINOSA.
MATEO
You made matters worse for yourself.

As they hold up their fist, the crowd begins to cheer. So Marcus runs through the crowd and gets between them.

The crowd groans and boo�s in disappoint while Rafael and Mateo stare at each other with very serious faces.

Marcus looks at Mateo.

She parks in front of a convenient store. She goes inside the store and find�s her old friend MARGIE at the cash register.
