Omega: The Series
ESTABLISHING SHOT - EXT. EUROPEAN MONASTERY
1. MED SHOT: SANCTUARY
It’s a medieval church. Six monks in simple robes kneel on mats, in contemplation, facing an old SHAOLIN master.
2. CU: THE DOORS
The doors open. A SHADOWY figure enters the hall.
3. MED SHOT: THE MONKS
The monks, sensing the evil, rise to their feet, moving into an attack posture.
4. MED SHOT: THE SHADOWY FIGURE
The MONKS charge the INTRUDER, launching flying tackles at the SHADOWY FIGURE - and become skeletons when they come within 5’ of the man and collapse to the ground in piles of bones.
5. ECU: THE DEACON
A brief glimpse under the shasowy hood. THE DEACON is smiling.
6. CU: HIGH PRIEST
Shock is on his face.
7. MED SHOT: High Priest
The HIGH PRIEST gets to his feet. He moves to attack.
8. MED SHOT: THE DEACON
THE DEACON spreads open his arms. The temple suddenly bursts into flames. A hand of flame grabs the HIGH PRIEST and he begins to scream.
HIGH PRIEST
(in burning pain)
Argh! Argh!
THE DEACON
Screams? From one of such a stoic order?
HIGH PRIEST
(fighting the pain)
You can go... to...
THE DEACON
I’ve already been there, father. How else could I bring you such a convincing facsimile of the place?
(beat)
Now, you may tell me where I can find the Bowl of Iscarion, and then I’ll allow you to die.
CUT TO:
ESTABLISHING SHOT. LOS ANGELES. PAN ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE to the hollywood sign
9. MED SHOT: OMEGA
OMEGA, in civilian ID, is standing on the sign with a paraglider (complete with omega symbol) strapped to his back, while waiting for a camera crew to finish setting up shop.
OMEGA
(impatient)
C’mon guys, does it really take three hours to set up a shot?
People are ignoring the star of the production, busy with their mundane business. OMEGA tries to intercept CREWMAN, who’s carrying a 2x4 slab of wood in both hands.
OMEGA
Hey! You!
CREWMAN ignores him, walks past him. OMEGA looks frustrated. Another CREWMAN, carting a stack of scripts piled almost three feet high, scuttles past him in the other direction.
OMEGA (cont’d)
(quickly)
Hey pal. I need to talk with someone!
SECOND CREWMAN
(muffled by the papers)
Not now.
The second CREWMAN walks past him. A third crewman, carrying a tray of food, also attempts to walk past him. TOMMY grabs him by the wrist.
10. MED SHOT - OMEGA and THIRD CREWMAN
THIRD CREWMAN
Hey!
11. CU - OMEGA
If looks could kill...
OMEGA
I got a question.
12. MED SHOT
THIRD CREWMAN
(intimidated)
Sure... No problem...
OMEGA lets go of the wrist.
OMEGA
I’d like to know when we’re actually going to start filming this piece of... art.
THE CREWMAN wonders.
THIRD CREWMAN
We’re not going to be able to shoot this thing until after the break.
TOMMY
(annoyed)
What break?
THIRD CREWMAN
Our half hour break. Union rules.
He walks away. OMEGA stands there agape. Long reaction shot. EMILY comes over, clipboard in hand.
EMILY
Isn’t this exciting? Our first national spot!
13. MED SHOT - TOMMY turns around, seething with anger
14. REACTION SHOT FROM EMILY
EMILY (cont’d)
(puzzled)
Tommy? What’s wrong.
15. TWO-SHOT. TOMMY turns to EMILY, takes the clipboard out of her hand and throws it on the ground.
TOMMY
National spot? Well, see spot run.
OMEGA transforms into costume, chucking the cheezy paraglider, then in full god mode, he rises into the sky and flies away from the shoot. EMILY gives him a "but... wait" look. CHARLIE comes over to EMILY’s side. EMILY’s in full bimbo mode.
EMILY
Tommy! Where are you going? Come back!
She looks very disappointed. CHARLIE cranes his neck to follow his course.
EMILY
He took off! But we haven’t even filmed the commercial!
CHARLIE
(sarcastically)
Lemme guess. They didn’t serve him a latte.
16. PANORAMIC SHOT
OMEGA flies over the city
17. A closer view
OMEGA
(to himself)
Union breaks. What a load of stinking crud. What I need is some action...
18. CU: BANK.
An explosion is set, and a jet of fire comes from the doorway, billowing smoke.
19. LONG SHOT
OMEGA sees the explosion.
OMEGA (cont’d)
...like that.
20. MED SHOT
OMEGA lands by the bank. He enters the building.
He notices a pack of men in medieval costumes looting it.
OMEGA (cont’d)
Well, well. If it isn’t the Royal Pains in my butt.
ROYAL GUARDSMAN
Omega!
21. One of the ROYAL GUARDSMAN fires an energy scepter at OMEGA. It bounces off him harmlessly.
22. OMEGA appears (via teleport) beside him, grabs the scepter, crushes it. He grins evilly as the guard reacts.
OMEGA
(parodying the ad)
Blaster scepter, serious bucks. Butt-kicking from Omega, priceless.
23. From behind, a pair of ROYAL GUARDSMAN shoot a TASER line from a pair of wrist devices into OMEGA. He grimaces - he feels it, but it’s not hurting him THAT much.
24. OMEGA grabs the taser lines, ignores the electrical current that’s shooting into him, and swings around the line. They’re sent flying, and he finally releases the line like a bolo. The GUARDSMEN go hurtling into a brick wall in the side of an alley.
25. USING a parked car as cover, a squad of four agents fire heavy looking blaster pikes at OMEGA. Again, he notices the attacks.
OMEGA
Forget it dude. All the king’s horses ain’t saving your sorry butts.
26. The symbol on OMEGA’s chest glows, he spreads his arms wide, and an Omega symbol appears in mid-air just behind the agents. It explodes, and they (and the truck they’re using as cover) are sent hurtling backward from the force of the fireball.
ROYAL GUARDSMAN
He’s making fools of us! Get him, now!
27. OMEGA grabs him.
OMEGA
"Get him now"? That’s all? Not even "as Majestron commands"? Guys, you’re...
28. THE PRINCE bashes him from behind with a scepter. It makes a sickening thud.
OMEGA
...slipping...
OMEGA collapses into unconsciousness.
THE PRINCE
As Majestron commands, fall before me!
(beat)
....loser!
29. BLOOM walks out, a smile on her face, juggling the plate. She tosses it high into the air. A panicked PRINCE suddenly grabs the plate out of mid-air before it crashes.
THE PRINCE
Do you know how much that plate is worth? Are you completely insane?
30. BLOOM demurely steps backward, whimpering slightly as she does. She calmly grows a white rose blossom out of her left hand and begins to eat it
31. REACTION SHOT from THE PRINCE
THE PRINCE (cont’d)
(sarcastically)
Of course you’re not insane... Whatever was I thinking?
32. TWO SHOT. BLOOM puts her hands on her hips in a bit of a sultry pose.
BLOOM
(slightly annoyed)
You interrupted my juggling. I was getting very good at it.
THE PRINCE
(irritated)
Fine, I’m sorry, whatever. Let us depart before the... peasant wakes up.
33. BLOOM bends down over OMEGA’s prone body, strokes the OMEGA symbol on his chest.
BLOOM
(rambling)
Isn’t this an Omega sign...
THE PRINCE
The pretentious brat probably can’t even read Greek.
BLOOM
"Omega" represents "endings". I like endings.
34. A siren starts to ring in the distance. THE PRINCE’s head cocks with concern.
THE PRINCE
(angry)
Bloom! We’re leaving! Now!
THE PRINCE, plate in the other hand, pulls BLOOM away with a hard tug.
BLOOM
(whimpering)
But - but I don’t know how he ends yet...
THE PRINCE pulls harder.
THE PRINCE
C’mon!
Bloom smiles, forms another white rose in the palm of her hand, and blows it like a kiss.
35. Track the rose as it follows the air currents and lands on OMEGA’s face.
36. MCU: OMEGA as he begins to stir.
OMEGA
Oh....
37. EMILY and CHARLIE rush to his side.
EMILY
Tommy? Are you alright?
CHARLIE
(sarcastically)
You know, for someone who’s such a bad dude, you sure get knocked out a lot.
OMEGA
Damn...
CHARLIE
So who was it this time? Supervillain? Mugger? Little old lady from Gold’s Gym with a dumbbell in her purse?
38. ECU - OMEGA, eyes burning with hate.
OMEGA
No.
(beat)
Majestron...
CUT TO:
An establishing shot of MAJESTRON’s court. SERVANTS go about their business. Zoom past the ASTROLOGER as he busily works away charting a horoscope on a computer screen. THE FOOL is practicing his pratfalls in a room full of banana peels, holding up his two puppets to comment on his acrobatics after he’s tripped. The sound of laughter comes from the ROYAL GUARDSMAN in that room.
[NOTE to the Story Editor: Neither THE FOOL nor THE ASTROLOGER have speaking roles in this episode, these are just cameos to set up their appearances in later MAJESTRON episodes. No need to hire the voice talent.]
PAN into the central throne chamber. THE PRINCE waits impatiently, the plate in his hand. BLOOM goes over to THE DEACON, who surveys the scene in satisfaction.
THE PRINCE
(muttering)
He’s waited twenty years for this... you’d think he’d be here on time.
37. MAJESTRON, seated on the flying imperial throne, appears at the head of the throne room. Pause for enough time for a dramatic tag. Everyone gets on bended knee. BLOOM does a schoolgirl skip, and the DEACON has to persuade her to genuflect with a well-placed nudge.
HERALD
All hail to his most royal majesty! All hail to Majestron!
38. MAJESTRON’s throne stops next to the PRINCE
MAJESTRON
Kings are not clocks, my son... we work to our own schedules.
THE PRINCE
(reluctantly)
Forgive my impatience, father.
MAJESTRON takes the plate without accepting the apology. The flying throne comes to rest on the big throne. MAJESTRON holds up the plate and smiles.
MAJESTRON
Now we come to a long anticipated moment. Deacon, when can the ritual begin?
DEACON
Tonight. The appropriate preparations must be made.
MAJESTRON
(sighing)
Preparations...
(beat)
These tedious methods are the reason why we so rarely resort to sorcery.
39. ANOTHER ANGLE
BLOOM
Will they be serving chocolate at this ritual?
DEACON
(quick aside)
No, child.
BLOOM
Drats.
DEACON turns to MAJESTRON
DEACON
I assure you, Majestron, the results will be worth the wait.
MAJESTRON
Of that, we have no doubts. Tomorrow will be a day unlike any the world has ever known.
40. PAN the minions. BLOOM is excited, almost gleeful. THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD stands with his arms crossed, holding the BLASTER PIKE, trying to look professional. THE PRINCE looks bored. THE DEACON has a slight, knowing smile on his face.
MAJESTRON (O.C.)
Tomorrow, the one thing that plagues our existence more than anything else on this planet shall be totally eliminated...
41. ECU - MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON (cont’d)
...free will.
END ACT ONE
EXT - TOMMY’S OMEGA VAN. IT’S BEGINNING TO RAIN
CUT TO:
INT. OMEGA VAN. Lots of high-tech gadgets, and a few magazines. TOMMY’s SITTING ON A TABLE, SHIRTLESS, A BANDAGE OVER HIS HEAD. HE’s looking at a magazine sideways, it’s obviously A CENTERFOLD.
42. EMILY grabs the magazine out of TOMMY’s hands.
TOMMY
Em!
EMILY
I thought you only read this for the articles!
CHARLIE leans into the shot.
CHARLIE
Obviously Mr. Brave and Bold here was looking for clues.
TOMMY
Guys, it’s a respectable magazine. Not to mention my personal property...
(aside)
Though I wouldn’t mind a few of their phone numbers.
43. CHARLIE hands him a folder. TOMMY sits down in a big leather chair with an arrogant, athletic motion, and opens the folders.
44. TOMMY scans the folder.
TOMMY
(hums, finds what he’s looking for)
Let me get this straight. The Royal Guardsman were using major league talent like the Prince and Bloom, and all they took was a piece of dishware?!
CHARLIE
The police think you scared them off.
45. TOMMY throws the folder aside.
TOMMY
Those two don’t frighten. Ever.
The only way a plate would be that valuable if it were magical. And you know who that means -
EMILY
Not the Deacon again! If he tries to feed me to yet another dragon, I’ll...
TOMMY
(cutting her off)
Not going to happen.
(pause, he’s thinking)
Now that plate, it’s gotta come from somewhere. A mystical dish service of doom or something?
EMILY
But who would make evil tableware?
CHARLIE
(aside)
You guys ever watch Martha Stewart?
TOMMY
Charlie, see if you can find a match for the plate on the computer. I’m going patrolling.
CHARLIE
Let’s see: we’ve got the Deacon, the Prince, Bloom, and maybe even Majestron himself. Would telling you to be careful do any good?
TOMMY shoots him an "are you crazy look"
CUT TO:
INT. ROYAL GUARDSMAN PALACE. The throne room is a frenzy of activity. The DEACON and majestron are at a computer console, discussing things in the background. THe captain of the guard stoically stands watch.
BLOOM is dancing around the throne room, singing, lilies popping out of her hands as she sings in a bizarre parody of Fantasia.
[NOTE TO THE DIRECTOR: The song depends on whatever rights we can get; we’ll rewrite this on set and rehearse with the voice actress.]
BLOOM
(singing)
Silly little lily won’t go home...
46. Keeping his eye on the empty throne, THE PRINCE sees it’s empty and slowly moves his hand towards it to touch it. BLOOM suddenly dances in, knocks his hand aside, and offers him some flowers. She leans in and smiles half-innocently, half-seductively.
BLOOM (cont’d)
Flowers for the grave, sirrah?
THE PRINCE
(threatening)
For your grave?
BLOOM
(happy)
Ooo!
(beat)
That would be very, very sweet!
She smiles broadly. We see her fangs and realize she’s a vampire for the first time. THE PRINCE knew this, but even knowing her secret, he’s still a little sickened by it.
BLOOM (cont’d)
It stand a little redecoration.
THE PRINCE visibly shudders.
Cut to MAJESTRON talking with the DEACON. The DEACON points out the image on a large computer screen.
47. REAR ANGLE: PRINCE AND DEACON
DEACON
We shall place the bowl on the cornerstone of this city’s first mission. When the light of the full moon strikes the bowl...
48. MED. SHOT - SIDEVIEW DEACON AND MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON makes a triumphant motion, then stops.
MAJESTRON
...it will fill itself with magic milk.
(beat)
That strikes us as a trifle ridiculous, Deacon.
49. ECU: MAJESTRON
DEACON TALKS AS HE’S REFLECTED IN HIS FACEPLATE
DEACON
This "milk" comes from the union of the moon and mother Earth herself. Anyone who tastes it shall be bewitched. And whoever feeds them the product of this enchantment...
50. TWO-SHOT, FOCUS ON MAJESTRON
BLOOM dances around them, scattering flowers. MAJESTRON is a little irritated. DEACON hides a slight smile.
MAJESTRON
...shall become their god.
(beat)
We think we could live with that.
CUT TO:
A dark and dismal warehouse setting in the evening. CENTER on the door. OMEGA BREAks it down with a vicious kick.
51. MCU: OMEGA
OMEGA
Already, Majestron, I know you’re...
52. PAN around the warehouse as OMEGA inspects it.
OMEGA (cont’d)
...not using "Kingdom Come Storage and Shipping" as a front after all.
53. MCU: OMEGA
OMEGA ponders
OMEGA (cont’d)
Whatever happened to the good ol’ days when the villains made it easy?
CUT TO:
MAJESTRON’s THRONE ROOM.
54. MCU: THE PRINCE
THE PRINCE is grimacing in the foreground as a slightly out of focus MAJESTRON and THE DEACON converse in the background. His anger and frustration grows the longer the shot lingers. BLOOM dances back into the shot.
Rage builds in the PRINCE’s face and he finally slams the throne with a backhanded punch and knocks into a wall.
55. MED. SHOT - THE PRINCE frustrated, faces MAJESTRON who senses rebellion in the air and is suddenly angry.
56. CU - THE PRINCE
THE PRINCE
Can’t you see that they’re playing you for a fool, father?
57. WIDER SHOT. MAJESTRON is getting pissed. Energy begins to build around his fist. THE PRINCE doesn’t see it coming.
THE PRINCE (cont’d)
We were born to rule! But now we’re been used as pawns by this... third-rate bogeyman!
The final word is cut short. MAJESTRON blasts the PRINCE with a wave of energy reminiscent of someone from DRAGON BALL Z. THE PRINCE is blasted backwards, through a wall, and then he goes tumbling into a courtyard with many flowers.
58. THE PRINCE, on the ground, groans. His costume is tattered and smoking. MAJESTRON steps toward him, his motion ominous and heavy.
59. MAJESTRON grabs the PRINCE by the collar and hoists him off the ground like a toy.
MAJESTRON
(controlled anger)
You touched our throne.
60. MAJESTRON hurls the PRINCE out of the courtyard with a mighty one-handed throw.
61. THE PRINCE picks himself off the ground, and, with as much dignity as he can muster, bows to acknowledge his father’s supremacy, then flies away.
62. TWO SHOT, DEACON and MAJESTRON, observing the PRINCE’s departure.
DEACON
What is that old saying, Majestron? "Spare the rod and spoil the child?"
MAJESTRON
You misjudge me, Deacon. This was no an act of discipline.
DEACON
You deliberately angered him?
(beat)
You are devious.
MAJESTRON smiles broadly.
CUT TO:
63. THE PRINCE, IN A FOUL MOOD, flying over the city
THE PRINCE
(to himself)
He treats the palace servants better than I. He treats the people who clean up his garbage better than I...
THE PRINCE takes his scepter and fires at a garbage bin.
THE PRINCE (cont’d)
...well, it’s about time he remembered I’m a Prince!
He blasts again.
THE PRINCE (cont’d)
One step removed from a king!
Blasts again.
THE PRINCE (cont’d)
I will be a king! And one day, I shall pluck the crown from the top of his head and sever it!
64. ANOTHER VIEW. We clearly see OMEGA behind the PRINCE.
OMEGA
(from behind)
I hate to interrupt a perfectly good Oedipus complex at work, but I owe you this...
THE PRINCE turns around. OMEGA clocks him.
65. MED. SHOT
THE PRINCE goes flying backward through the alley, into a garbage bin. He wipes himself off, gets to his feet.
66. An APPROACH SHOT, P.O.V. staying steady behind OMEGA’s neck.
OMEGA flies in.
OMEGA (cont’d)
Let’s talk about daddy and his latest hijinks.
OMEGA tries to smash the PRINCE with a wild right cross. THE PRINCE blocks it with his scepter, pours green energy from it, and momentarily paralyzes OMEGA.
67. TWO-SHOT
The PRINCE smiles broadly.
THE PRINCE
I’ve got a better idea...
THE PRINCE builds up the energy in his scepter and lets OMEGA fly.
68. PAN to follow OMEGA
OMEGA tumbles into the side of a building, rises out of the rubble, spreads his arms wide, and the symbol on his chest glows. Little glowing Omega signs suddenly appear in clusters around him...
69. MED. SHOT of the PRINCE
The Omega signs materialize in all directions around the PRINCE. The PRINCE tries to ward them away with his scepter, only to realize they’re intended as a distraction. OMEGA flies in grabs the scepter.
70. MED. SHOT OMEGA.
OMEGA holds the sceptre high above his head, ready to break it over his knee.
OMEGA (cont’d)
Without daddy’s little scepter, you ain’t worth spit.
71. WIDER VIEW
The PRINCE makes a gesture, and suddenly the sceptre accelerates like a rocket, smashing OMEGA into a wall, and then a second time.
72. CU- THE PRINCE
THE PRINCE
Wrong, as usual, Omega.
73. - WIDER SHOT
The rocket brings OMEGA on a general vector toward the PRINCE. He lets go of the rocket, tackles the PRINCE and, sitting on top of him, begins to hammer the PRINCE with a repeated pounding of right hands.
OMEGA
Where’s daddy?
He continues to punch the PRINCE.
OMEGA (cont’d)
If you hate his guts so much, tell me where he is!
OMEGA, breathing hard lets up for a moment. THE PRINCE spits on him.
PRINCE
I’d never betray him to a peasant like you.
(emphatic)
Never.
74. REACTION shot from OMEGA. There’s anger there, but he realizes the PRINCE is telling him the truth.
75. DISTANCE shot of the SCEPTER turning around and coming back for another pass at OMEGA.
76. MED SHOT: OMEGA. enough space to show the area behind him.
OMEGA notices the SCEPTER, quickly turns his head back to the PRINCE so he won’t be suspicious, and closes his eyes as he deliberately allows himself to be clocked by it.
77. ANOTHER ANGLE.
OMEGA is knocked forward, and slams hard into a wall.
78. MED. SHOT, THE PRINCE
THE PRINCE gets to his feet. The scepter flies back into his hand. As OMEGA struggles to his feet, he points the scepter at OMEGA and blasts him.
OMEGA
Aaargh!
79. MED. SHOT: OMEGA
OMEGA is knocked down, his costume is torn and smoking. He struggles back to his feet. THE PRINCE blasts him again.
OMEGA (cont’d)
Aaaargh!
80. CU- the PRINCE
The PRINCE smiles with extreme confidence in his victory.
PRINCE
Stupid brat. Did you really expect to beat me?
81. WIDE SHOT
OMEGA struggles to his feet.
OMEGA
Go to... (Hell)
THE PRINCE trains a final blast at him.
OMEGA (cont’d)
Aaaargh!
He falls down unconscious. THE PRINCE stands over him and smirks over his body, perhaps prodding it contemptuously with his foot.
PRINCE
I can’t believe my father actually considers you a threat.
(beat)
You’re barely even a nuisance.
82. ANOTHER ANGLE
The PRINCE flies away.
83. WIDE SHOT
EMILY and CHARLIE rush up to OMEGA
EMILY
Tommy!
EMILY puts his arms around OMEGA.
84. TWO-SHOT EMILY and OMEGA
EMILY (cont’d)
Tommy, wake up! C’mon Tommy, you can’t let him beat you...
OMEGA feigning unconsciousness, can’t suppress a smile. EMILY notices, and lets him drop. OMEGA’s head hits the concrete hard; it bonks, but not comically.
OMEGA
(amused)
Heh.
85. MED SHOT
OMEGA slowly gets to his feet. EMILY, hands on her hips, scolds him as fiercely as she can.
EMILY
Tommy Champion, one of these days I’m gonna...
She pokes a finger in his chest. He says nothing, but grins.
CHARLIE
Uh, you’d better take a number, Em, because there’s a whole lot of people ahead of you in line.
86. WIDER SHOT
CHARLIE (cont’d)
What are you smiling about? Princie-boy just beat the living tar out of you.
OMEGA
Sometimes you gotta lose the battle...
He holds out his hand. A hologram showing the PRINCE in flight.
87. CU: THE HOLOGRAM
OMEGA (O.C.)
...to win the massacre.
88. TWO-SHOT EMILY and OMEGA
EMILY
You’re tracking him!
OMEGA
Fido wasn’t about to tell me where Majestron is, so....
(pause)
You guys get the dish on the dish?
CHARLIE
It’s called the bowl of Iscarion. Some 16th Century Abbot made it.
EMILY
It’s said to control the hearts of man. Anyone who drinks of its milk...
89. ANOTHER ANGLE
OMEGA repairs his costume with a thought. A glowing horizontal line runs up his body, and everything below it gets repaired.
OMEGA
So this is one time milk don’t do a body good.
(beat)
If I break the thing, what happens?
CHARLIE
I dunno. It’s gone five hundred years without even getting a hairline crack. For all we know, it’s indestructible.
OMEGA
(smiling, aware he’s mangling grammar)
Good thing Omega can destruct the indestructible.
CHARLIE
Seriously, man. Majestron and the Deacon are the two baddest bad guys on the planet. They could clean even the Protectorates’ clock.
EMILY
You’re out of your league... anybody’s league.
OMEGA
Maybe you’re right.
(pause)
But I ain’t about to let either of those maniacs control the heart of a German Shepherd, let alone a Man.
90. WIDE SHOT.
Fanfare plays as OMEGA takes off from the ground, circles for a few seconds, then heads away in a direction toward the camera.
CHARLIE (V.O.)
Em, what’s a five letter word for "fool"?
EMILY (V.O.)
Shut up, Charlie.
END ACT TWO
The exterior of a church. It’s elaborate, modern, with sweeping arches and one stained glass window with the virgin Mary. The cross has been removed. THE MOON IS RISING
CUT TO:
INT. CHURCH. THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW
91. MOONLIGHT STRIKES THE WINDOW.
DEACON
Now, the moon is in position...
92. CU: WINDOW
As the moonlight hits the hands of the Virgin Mary, drops of milk start to drip down.
93. ECU: Pan
The milk drops begin to fill the pan, making a loud splatter sound as they strike the dish.
CUT TO:
94. CU: MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON
And this is the way the world ends...
95. CU: THE WINDOW
The PRINCE flies through it.
96. MED SHOT
THE PRINCE lands. MAJESTRON looks annoyed. THE DEACON notices the reaction and is amused.
THE PRINCE
Father! Omega is defeated! He knelt before me and called me "master"!
DEACON
How very unimportant... compared to the ritual you just interrupted.
THE PRINCE
(suddenly realizing he’s not done good)
But father... your enemy... Omega...
96. ANOTHER ANGLE
MAJESTRON’S anger builds. He levels his scepter and a blinding streak of light comes out and encapsulates the PRINCE.
PRINCE
(screams)
Aiiiie!
97. TRACKING SHOT
THE PRINCE is rocketed backward through the church wall, through both walls of an adjacent chapel, and finally comes to rest near the foot of a large cross. He twitches.
98. CU: MAJESTRON
Majestron’s scepter is smoking.
MAJESTRON
We are most displeased.
(beat)
Now, where is my bowl?
95. MCU: The broken window.
A flying figure with the OMEGA suit comes flying through the hole.
96. MED. SHOT: OMEGA
OMEGA holds the bowl triumphantly, puts his fingers into it, and draws a milk moustache above his mouth. He grins obnoxiously.
OMEGA
Got milk?
99. PAN TO A SHOT OF OUR ROGUE’S GALLERY FACING OFF WITH OMEGA
MAJESTRON
You...
OMEGA holds the bowl off to the side as if ready to smash it.
OMEGA
One false move, your Majesty, and the bowl gets it.
100. TWO-SHOT, OMEGA and MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON charges. He tries to smash OMEGA with his scepter. OMEGA dodges the blow.
OMEGA (cont’d)
Too slow.
101. WIDE SHOT
OMEGA sets in a combat stance. MAJESTRON attempts to blast him. OMEGA dodges, while MAJESTRON futilely tracks him and continues to miss with his blaster fire.
102. TWO-SHOT: THE DEACON and BLOOM
BLOOM
May I?
DEACON
Why of course.
103. ECU: BLOOM’S HANDS
BLOOM’S hands become vampiric claws.
104. TWO-SHOT: BLOOM AND OMEGA
BLOOM takes several swings at OMEGA
105. MED. SHOT: OMEGA
Giving the bowl a fair bit of topspin, he tosses it. It bounces several times off various parts of the church, whacks BLOOM in the back of the head. BLOOM falls, then the bowl returns to TOMMY, where he, spinning it like a top, balances it on one finger even as he holds it under the spot where milk is dripping.
106. MCU: BLOOM
BLOOM holds the back of her head.
BLOOM
Ooo... I’m seeing stars... and they aren’t even bloody...
107. MED. SHOT OMEGA
OMEGA
Who’s next?
MAJESTRON blasts OMEGA from behind
OMEGA (cont’d)
Arrragh!
MAJESTRON
I am...
108. MCU: MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON (cont’d)
Next to teach you a lesson in humility.
OMEGA
Argh!
The blast ends. OMEGA is left on the deck. MAJESTRON points his scepter at the dish and a blue beam shoots out. It levitates and flies into MAJESTRON’s hand.
109. TWO-SHOT: MAJESTRON and BLOOM
BLOOM
May I?
MAJESTRON gives her an annoyed look, and blasts her unconscious.
MAJESTRON
No.
110. LONG TWO-SHOT, LETTERBOX
DEACON
You had no intention of honoring our alliance?
MAJESTRON
The State has supremacy over the Church - and the State, c’est moi.
111. MED. SHOT OMEGA
MAJESTRON goes over to OMEGA, lifts him up by the hair (eyes visibly rolling in his skull) and pours milk from the bowl down OMEGA’S throat.
OMEGA
Ohhhh...
OMEGA looks at MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON
I believe you’d like the Deacon dead.
(beat)
Indulge yourself.
OMEGA
(bowing)
Yes, your majesty...
OMEGA nearly keels over
OMEGA (cont’d)
I need but a moment to recover my strength, My Lord.
MAJESTRON
Of course...
MAJESTRON smiles, draws closer to OMEGA, who takes in several deep breaths.
OMEGA
Thank-you, master. Nothing will give me greater pleasure...
He suddenly grabs the scepter and turns it on MAJESTRON
OMEGA
Except this!
MAJESTRON screams, and tries to fight the pain. He advances on OMEGA, and almost reaches him, but OMEGA glows, channels his power into the scepter, and MAJESTRON can’t fight his own power and Omega’s combined.
112. Track MAJESTRON
He’s blasted out several holes and comes to rest next to the PRINCE. His armor is short-circuiting.
113. TWO-SHOT: THE PRINCE and MAJESTRON
MAJESTRON and THE PRINCE struggles to their feet - then MAJESTRON’s armor completely blows several fuses and he falls, his armor surrounded by a nimbus of electricity. MAJESTRON shakily raises his gauntlet.
MAJESTRON
Help me... my son...
114. CU: THE PRINCE
Linger as the PRINCE looks down on his father. After 8-10 seconds, he spits on him and turns and walks away without looking back.
CUT TO:
115. INT. CHURCH
DEACON
You coated your stomach. Candle wax? Pepto-bismal?
116. MCU: OMEGA
OMEGA grabs the bowl. He uses his power on it, then hurls it like a frisbee and tosses it out of the church and out of sight.
OMEGA
I reduced its weight to that of a pebble. With my strength, that throw should take the bowl well out of orbit.
117. TWO-SHOT OMEGA and THE DEACON
PAN while keeping them both in frame to emphasize the conflict.
OMEGA (cont’d)
You never intended to ally with Majestron.
DEACON
Actually, the prospect was quite intriguing, Omega, and I had to entertain it. But no, in the black pit of my blacker soul, I knew he was...flawed.
OMEGA
Of course this was a big joke to you, right? After all, you don’t do milk, you do blood!
118. MCU: THE DEACON
BLOOM gets close to the DEACON and sprouts batwings. They wrap themselves around she and the DEACON. THE DEACON smiles and shakes his head as he chuckles.
DEACON
My dear Omega, don’t you know that milk is blood?
He and BLOOM vanish into thin air, leaving OMEGA with a horrified expression on his face.
CUT TO:
EXT - NIGHT, Los Angeles, on the roof of OMEGA’S PENTHOUSE.
119. MED SHOT- OMEGA
OMEGA, in his TOMMY duds, is tossing pebbles into the air and then using his powers to incinerate them before they can fall to the street below. EMILY and CHARLIE walk over.
EMILY
Tommy! You win!
CHARLIE
Yeah. That was the sorriest excuse for an Armageddon I ever saw.
OMEGA
It wasn’t an Armaggeddon.
(bitter outburst)
It was nothing!
OMEGA kicks the bucket that contains his pebbles and then incinerates them all in a single spectacular burst.
EMILY
Wow.
CHARLIE
Anger management courses anyone?
120. ANOTHER ANGLE
OMEGA advances angrily on Charlie.
OMEGA
How about a humor management course, jerk!
EMILY gets between them.
EMILY
Easy Tommy...
(turns to Charlie)
You too!
121. MCU: CHARLIE
CHARLIE
No. Bring him on!
(aside)
I don’t need to keep this head on my shoulders.
122. CU: EMILY
EMILY
Maybe you didn’t score the big win. But you survived. And when you’re dealing with enemies like the Deacon and Majestron...
OMEGA
...giving them a second chance just gets people hurt. Or killed.
He angrily flies away.
123. TWO-SHOT EMILY and CHARLIE
EMILY and CHARLIE watch as he flies away
CHARLIE
I hate to admit it, Em, but Sunshine Boy has a point.
EMILY
I know... I know... But wouldn’t it be good to be wrong just once?
FADE TO BLACK.
Okay, let’s see if I get this straight
Not only does my life get to be turned into a shitty cartoon, and not only do I have to interact with characters whom I don’t even fucking know and who were probably spawned by some marketing shithead’s half-baked focus group, you manage to turn two of the biggest assholes on the planet (as well as the bitch who murdered my girlfriend) into characters cuddly enough to pimp some goddamn Taiwanese mutant plastic action figures, just so you can boost some goddamn New York toy company’s quarterly profits! What did I ever do to deserve this shit?
Oh fuck it. Just send me the fucking cheque.
