faster, must go faster


Opening: a guard walks down a brightly lit hall way towards a large heavy door.
Guard opens door to a pitch black room where yellow eyes can be seen.

Guard: Come on Tyranus, its breakfast time. Are we gonna do it the easy way or have people come to force feed you way?
Tyranus stands up and walks out slowly, looking down at the guard. Guard look up at him.
Guard: Let’s go then p…
Tyranus kills the guard by ripping out his throat with his claws then runs down the hall to another cell that he breaks open.
Tyranus: Perch, where are you?
Perch: Tyranus, what are you doing here!?!
Tyranus: I’m getting you and Alice out of here, now where are you?
Perch slithers down from above in front of Tyranus
Perch: But I can’t keep up, how are you gonna get me out?
Tyranus: Get on my back and coil around my stomach
Perch gets on Tyranus’s back wrapping her red coils around his stomach. Tyranus runs out of the cell and down the hall to a glass container with Alice sitting in the middle meditating. Tyranus breaks the glass and shards hover just over Alice’s head.
Alice: you’re late Ty
Tyranus: Sorry I had to wait for my guard. We need to go now
Alice stands up and looks towards Tyranus
Alice: Why is Perch on your back?
Tyranus: because she can’t keep up, now let’s go
Alice stands up and walks towards Tyranus
Alice: How would I keep up? You’re faster than me.
Tyranus: I’ll carry you then
Tyranus picks Alice up and slings her over his back then runs past guards and other experiments
Tyranus: Alice can you get the door?
Alice: Sure
Tyranus runs to the front doors while Alice makes the doors collapse in on themselves while he runs out side toward the forest.
Tyranus: ok now just keep quiet while I get to a safe distance
Tyranus runs through the forest carrying Alice and Perch till he gets to a dark part of the forest by a stream and a game trail he stops and sits by the stream letting go of Alice and Perch while he breathes heavily
Tyranus: we’ll stop here tonight. Just be careful
Alice: mind telling me why you had to leave? I was gonna get a grilled cheese from the cafeteria.
Tyranus: why did you say I was late if you wanted to get a grilled cheese?
Alice: because I thought you were gonna come before lunch, so when you didn’t show up I was gonna eat
Perch: thank you very much Tyranus, for carrying me all the way over here.
Tyranus: no, you’re very scared at the moment because of something nearby. What is it?
Perch: I-I don’t know what you mean.
Tyranus: I can smell your fear so just tell me or I will just leave you here when we move to the next spot
Perch: Fine I-I’m afraid that they will find us tonight because this is a patrol trail not a game trail.
Tyranus: that’s all you needed to say but we are staying here, I will set traps and we will sleep in trees. Ok?
Perch: ok.
Tyranus stands up and begins setting traps on the trail and in the trees. Then helps Alice up a tree then Perch then climbs up the tree and sits down.
Tyranus: I’ll take first night to watch
Perch and Alice at the same time: Are you sure?
Tyranus: Yes I’m sure. Get some sleep you two; we have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow and not a lot of time to do it.
Alice: So what’s the plan once we are away?
Tyranus: we tell the news what that place has been doing.
Alice and perch fall asleep on the branch while Tyranus sits with his head moving at every sound and movement in the area. That night Tyranus wakes up Alice and Perch
Tyranus: Come on its time to go
Alice: What time is it?
Tyranus: It’s time to go now get down off the tree
Alice, Perch, and Tyranus climb down the tree to the trail and cross the stream
Perch: why are we leaving at night?
Tyranus: because they can’t see like I can at night so we will just walk away till we hit a road
They walk for three hours in silence
Alice: thank you Tyranus, for getting me out of there.
Tyranus: I couldn’t leave you guys behind while I escaped.
Perch: Thank you Tyranus, I truly appreciate it
Alice: But I could have escaped on my own without your help
Tyranus: Really Alice? Do you really believe you could escape from that place without getting tranquilized or shot?
Alice: I would have done better than you
Tyranus: what do you mean?
Alice: you were shot in the back Ty do you not feel it?
Tyranus stops and runs his hand along his back till he feels blood and a hole
Tyranus: oh crap
Alice: you really didn’t feel the bullet hit you?
Tyranus: No, I didn’t was I supposed to!?!?
Alice: holly crap!
Tyranus: What do I do!?!?
Alice:  I don’t know!
Perch: I feel so confused!
Tyranus: Alice, pull it out
Alice: with what!?!?
Tyranus: a stick or with your freaking mind
Alice picks up a stick and pulls the bullet out while Tyranus yells in pain then they continue walking. They come across a town and stop in the woods by it
Alice: We need clothes
Tyranus: How are we going to get them?
Perch looks at Alice
Perch:  Alice will have to go
Alice: why me?
Tyranus: because you look normal and can convince who ever has clothes that will fit me and perch to give them to you for free
Alice: Oh, right, sorry
Alice walks into town and finds a clothes store and asks the clerk for help
Alice: um excuse me. I was wondering if you could help me find some clothes for some friends of mine.
Clerk: Sure, how tall are they?
Alice: Ones seven feet tall and the other is about five eight-ish
Clerk: guy or girl?
Alice: The first is a guy the seconds a girl
Clerk: ok then let’s go see what we can find
The clerk gets a large black hoodie, grey jeans, and black boots with white socks for Tyranus. Then a red shirt and jacket for Perch then Alice erases the clerk’s memory and leaves the store and walks into the woods with two bags. Alice gives them each a bag
Perch: how am I going to walk down the street with my tail?
Tyranus: you can just coil around my stomach, and I’ll cut a hole in the jacket so it looks like I’m giving you a ride
Perch: Ok
Tyranus cuts a hole in the jacket do that Perch can fit then walks into town
Tyranus: if anyone asks Perch doesn’t have legs, ok
Perch and Alice:  ok
Perch, Alice, and Tyranus walk down the street looking for a news station of some sort; when they find one they walk in and tell the woman at the desk they are here to see a reporter
Woman: what’s the story about?
Alice: I’m sorry but that is confidential at this point, you will have to wait, but I promise it will get your channel to become number one.
Women: are you telling me we will surpass FOX and CNN?
Alice: if those are the top ones they will be second and third.
Women: ok then but you have to take your hood off sir
Tyranus: I can’t do that right now but I promise that I have no weapon on me at all
Women: sure you don’t, take off the hood
Alice makes the woman believe he doesn’t need to remove his hood
Woman: never mind, go right on ahead, it’s the third door to you right
They all walk down the hall and knock on the reporter’s door
Reporter: how can I help…….you?
The reporter looks at them with a look of confusion on his face
Alice: we are here to give a story of the century sir
Reporter: come in then
The reporter says slowly as he sits down and tells the others to do the same and they all sit
Reporter: so tell me of your story
Tyranus: I think it would be better if we showed you
Perch slithers out of the hole in the jacket then Tyranus removes his hood showing his grey skin and yellow eyes
Tyranus: we are the subjects of human experimentation, and we are here to tell you our story.
The Reporter stands there with a look of awe, fear, and excitement on his face
Reporter: where do you want to start?
Tyranus: from the beginning
Reporter: ok then, let’s hear it
Tyranus: it all started when I was born, I was mutated in a way to see if human and prehistoric DNA could combine without life threatening side effects. I was the second one of the two experiments, my brother was the first the first but he became too aggressive so they euthanized him. They took care of me when I was little but as I grew I became aggressive as well but not as bad as my brother. Eventually they just started doing tests on me, blood tests, reflex, and even a pain tolerance test. They did this for about….
Alice: Ten years, eight months, and eleven days
Tyranus: yeah they tested on me for a long time but I was able to make friends. I meet Alice when I was about twelve. I was ripping apart everything in my cell so they sent Alice to see if she could kill me or incapacitate me but when she entered my mind she saw what they did to me for the past two years and she simply calmed me down. I meet Perch when I was about twenty in the cafeteria, everyone left the room when I walked in: everyone except Perch. She actually sat by me and started asking me who I was and how I was doing and we had a long talk and became friends. Then I broke us out and came here.
The reporter finishes the notes he was taking then turned to Perch
Reporter: so what about you?
Perch: I was a genetic combination of a python and a human. I was mutated before I was born, and as a result was already used to the tail and everything. I was cared for till I was twelve and I threatened I would leave if they didn’t put a perch in my room, when they said no I went to the front door and knocked on it for I escaped earlier that day. They answered the door and put a perch in my room, I meet Alice the next day in the cafeteria. I sat down at a table and she sat next to me and asked how I was doing and that, when I meet Ty a few days later he looked like I had looked before I had a friend so I talked with him. A few years later I was in my room when he broke it down then we came here
The reporter finished his notes and turned to Alice
Alice: I was genetically modified with the power of telepathy and telekinesis; I was modified when I was three after my mother committed suicide after she was modified. I was taken care of until I was twelve then they left me in a room with paint and canvases. I began painting parts of Alice in Wonderland and that’s how I got my name. I meet Ty when he was destroying his room; his hands were bleeding, his arms were bleeding and his eyes were burning yellow when he looked at me. He said “to much noise, please make it stop” then grabbed his head and banged it on the wall, when I entered his mind I could hear the heartbeat of everyone in the building, I could feel the pain of hundreds of needles, and so I calmed him down by forcing a wonderland of my own into his mind. I had him see that there was a huge forest with people like him and they would comfort him when he needed it. I meet perch a few years later and we became friends, when we escaped I helped as much as I can but I’m getting tired of reading minds.
The reporter finishes his notes and picks up the phone and says into it
Reporter: Hello….. Yeah it’s me….. hey I have a question, is human experimentation illegal?........ok then I have a story for you……….human experimentation…………… yeah I just want you to mention me in the report……………………………….there are three of them……………….one’s half snake, one’s psychic, and one’s half T-rex or something………………….yeah I have the whole story……………………….you wanna come pick them up?..........................ok I’ll tell them….ok bye
The reporter hangs up the phone
Reporter: good news, my friend at Fox is gonna take your story and tell the world about what happened when you were locked up, bad news is that he will be here in two days. Do you have a place to stay?
Tyranus: no we don’t, we escaped yesterday
Reporter: you can stay in the hotel down the street, I’ll pay for it.
The reporter leads them to a hotel and pays for their room, then leads them to it
Reporter: So this is your room, oh and monarch says hi.
The reporter pulls out a silenced pistol and shoots all three of them, Alice in the head, Perch in the stomach, and Tyranus in the chest. All three hit the floor. When the reporter leaves Tyranus rolls over and puts pressure on Perch’s stomach
Tyranus: Come perch, you got this, don’t leave yet
Perch coughs a little and blood begins coming from her mouth
Perch: I-I’m done……Ty, stay stron—
Tyranus: No, no, no. Please don’t leave me. NO!!
Tyranus leans his head back while he screams at the death of his friends, the reporter runs in with the pistol
Reporter: how are you still alive?
Tyranus stands up with his eyes glowing dimly, he walks forward as the reporter empties the last of the magazine into his chest.
Reporter: What are you?
Tyranus doesn’t reply as he picks up the reporter and slashes his belly open, then drops him on the floor as his insides stain the carpet, and leaves the building wearing the jacket and pants and boots, taking the reporters money before he leaves
