Action Scene, battle for the second mask



EXT  HARVEST TEMPLE BRIDGE  NIGHT

A vine covered bridge above a large jungle filled with life. Only the sound of calm winds can be heard in the air.
A few birds perch themselves on the bridge. They peck the ground. A monstrous sound fills the air. The birds fly away when a feminine figure blurs past them!

EXT HARVEST TEMPLE ENTRANCE NEAR BRIDGE
The end of the bridge is covered in thick vines. The temple has thicker vines on it with some cracked areas. There are vines around the edge of the plateau near the bridge. A replica of the Harvest Mask is carved into the top of the entrance.
KIMIKO dashes towards the Harvest Temple, sword hilted to her side! Her bunny mask resting on the hilt too. She stops in front of a growling shadow, still on the bridge! She jumps back! A GOLEM lands from the sky in front of her! She looks to her left, then her right. The Golem inches closer, readying another roar. She runs to a thick vine and grabs hold! The Golem releases a monstrous growl that creates a powerful whirlwind! She holds onto the vine, hanging on against the whirlwind, one eye open! She looks to the ground. The whirlwind stops. She lands and runs to the next vine near the edge of the bridge. The golem readies a third roar. She swings under the bridge towards the next vine near the edge of the plateau! The golem roars. She uses the backwinds from the whirlwind to swing even higher! She jumps to the next vine and grabs it! She runs up the edge, holding on to the vine! The whirlwind stops. She gets on the plateau and runs toward the temple! She stops in front of a noticeably large crack near the entrance. The monster crouches. It waits for 5 seconds in silence, staring at Kimiko. She bends her knees, staring right back at the golem with no fear. The golem jumps toward her at high speed! She rolls under it as it crashes through the temple wall!


KIMIKO
                         (faint smile)
          “The real battle starts now! Watch over me father.”

She rushes into the temple, hand on her sword hilt.


INT   HARVEST TEMPLE HALL NIGHT
KIMIKO runs through the cracked wall, turning right into a hall! This hall has ancient statues on the edges of a long orange and carpet. There are vines hanging from the ceiling above the floor, but not the carpet. Stone collumns rest near the entrance. An altar sits at the very end of the hall, with a carving of the Harvest Mask on the wall above it. There’s a really big crack on the ceiling. The GOLEM gets itself up from its fall. It flicks rubble off of its cold shoulder. It notices Kimiko and becomes enraged.

KIMIKO
(focused)
          “Come at me monster!” 

She crouches with her hand at her hilt. The Golem jumps into the air towards her. She flips back. She takes out her sword as the golem lands. It throws a punch at her. She leans down to dodge and cuts his arm off in a powerful swing! It yells in rage holding its new limb! She smirks. It punches its limb into the ground and pulls up a new arm made of the floor’s material. Her smirk fades. She dashes toward it! It roars! The whirlwind blows her toward the ceiling! She grabs one of the vines! She swings herself away from the whirlwind! She grabs another vine and swings toward the Golem! She swings her blade at it while swinging back and forth! Each slash does damage, but it’s not enough! The Golem jumps toward her! She swings out of the way! It clings to the ceiling! It punches the ceiling, knocking chunks of it toward Kimiko! Kimiko swings to evade the first three! She lands on the ground and rolls to dodge two more! She cuts the last bigger chunk in half before it hits her! The Golem falls down again, covered in a blue moonlight! The mask on her sword hilt glows. Kimiko smiles.

KIMIKO
(calm, low voice)
          “No. Not yet…I need a little more power to end this.”

The mask continues to glow. The golem assumes a fighting stance. Its growling goes down.



KIMIKO
(calm, loud voice)
“I know you’re watching Dark One! If you underestimate me any further you’ll lose your precious power up!”

The Golem’s eyes glow red. A creepy laughter comes from its mouth. Its voice much deeper and sinister.

GOLEM
(annoyed voice)
“I admit you have some skill young warrior, but a mere mortal has no need of the mask’s power. You are nothing but a bug standing in my way. All the masks in this accursed land belong to the DARKNESS!!!”

The Golem rushes towards Kimiko! It throws a barrage of sharp punches, each blocked by her sword and dodged! She jumps back, sweat forming from her forehead! The Golem grows a stone sword from its hand shrouded in red darkness. The golem slashes at her with a powerful diagonal slash! She dodges! A shockwave comes from the sword and reduces a distant column to rubble! She slashes back at the Golem, but it’s blocked by the dark blade! The Golem’s blade emits a dark energy pulse and pushes Kimiko towards the ground! She uses her free hand to catch herself and flip back on her feet! She jumps at high speed to evade the incoming Golem’s slash attack! She swings her sword at full strength from bellow while leaping towards the Golem! The Golem attempts to block, but she knocks the sword out of his hand towards the big crack on the ceiling! It goes through the ceiling and causes more of the roof to collapse! Kimiko grabs a safe vine and swings out of the way of the falling ceiling! It collapses on the Golem! Silence fills the air.

KIMIKO
(thinking)
          “It’s not over yet. Guess I have no choice…”

The Golem roars ferociously! The rubble explodes from the ground with a shockwave of dark energy! Kimiko swings through the storm of debris leaping from vine to vine, cutting the few rocks that are in her way in an elegant fashion! The masks begins to glow even brighter. She swings into the air towards the open roof! The moonlight shines on her, eclipsing her from the viewpoint of the Golem. She reaches for her mask while in mid air. She puts it on her face. The eclipse on her vanishes in a blue glow coming from the mask! Her sword gains a blue aura and transforms into its true form! The Golem is blinded from the radiant moonlight coming from her mask! She swings toward the Golem! She releases the vine mid swing! She spins forward holding her sword with two hands! She cuts through the Golem and sticks a clean landing! The Golem stands in shock, motionless.
GOLEM
(dying voice)
          “I…I see…you’re HIS daughter. In that case…”

The Golem explodes into rock pieces and scatter along the ground! The sword falls back into the hall! It lands where the Golem once stood. The dark energy escapes it and spreads across the floor. Several mini plasmas of darkness rise from the ground! 
KIMIKO
(annoyed)
“I don’t think so.”

She assumes a stance, holding her blade in a Kendo style. She raises the blade slowly above her head, fading it in and out like an illusion. She stops when it’s directly above her head. She points the blade toward the moon. The darkness continues to rise and spawn more darkness. She takes a deep breath. The moonlight becomes sharper around her, outlining her with pure power.
KIMIKO
“By the honor of the moon clan, and my father, I will end this now!”

Her sword glows with intensity! She readies her special move!

KIMIKO
(shouting)
          “Crescent Usagi Dance!!!”

She dashes through the hall down the carpet, cutting the clusters of darkness around her in an elegant dancing motion! Each slash making a blue shockwave! She spins and backflips through more waves of darkness, dispelling it at the touch of her blade! She lands on the altar, back turned to the remaining darkness! She sheathes her sword. The darkness fades away. Kimiko sighs with relief. She removes the mask and puts away her sword, now back in its original form. She sits down on the ground and takes out a snack from her pocket. She drinks some water and gets back up. 

KIMIKO
(catching breath)
“All that training really paid off. Now where's that mask?”

She looks around and notices the mask carving at the top of the altar. She clicks her teeth and a SPIRIT ANIMAL jumps out from her mask. She smiles at her animal friend and it nods back.

SPIRIT ANIMAL
(regal voice)
          “One path to the Harvest Mask coming right up Milady!”
