Chapter 10 - Omens Pt.2

FADE IN

EXT. BUILDING

RYAN reaches into the DUFFLE BAG and pulls out some clips for his MACHINE GUNS, RYAN handing one to CHARLES who takes it as JARED and SAMANTHA come over and ARM themselves as well, AUSTIN loading the FOUR BARREL as RYAN comes over and looks out the WINDOW to see THE REMNANTS beginning to appear at the end of town, heading towards them but with very methodical movements. 

RYAN

We need more weapons then this...I've got to get the STING...

SAMANTHA

I've got the VAN just outside of town, you get me to the VAN once we get your piece of shit car and we can do some damage.

RYAN

You're VAN is the piece of shit. 

SAMANTHA

My van shits on your car!

CHARLES

Oh my god, shut up! 

JARED

We'll hold down the fort, boss. 

SAMANTHA

Then let's not waste anymore time. 

AUSTIN and JARED move the SHELF from off of the doorway as SAMANTHA and RYAN rush out, JARED pressing the SHELF back into place as CHARLES opens up his WRIST COMPUTER as he types in a sequence which brings up a 3D map of DERRY, AUSTIN and JARED coming over as the MAP begins moving as they see the thousands of DOTS heading their way, and the TWO RED DOTS that were heading due west. 

JARED

How far do they have? 

CHARLES

About sixty meters for the STING...but they're going to have to drive straight through those REMNANTS to get to the VAN...

JARED

Can they do it? Is it even worth it? 

CHARLES

We'll just have to see...

AUSTIN watches as the REMNANTS are still coming as JARED looks about concerned. 

EXT. STREET

SAMANTHA and RYAN come up to the end of a STREET, RYAN looking about as he taps SAMANTHA on the shoulder before he nods towards an ALLEYWAY, RYAN heading towards it as SAMANTHA scans about quickly before following. 

RYAN spots the STING and runs to it, RYAN hugging it close as SAMANTHA scans about, nothing in sight as RYAN kisses the hood of his CAR. 

RYAN

You miss me baby? 

SAMANTHA

Please stop talking to your car...

RYAN

You wouldn't understand love, so shut the fuck up! You're too afraid to love...to love me. 

SAMANTHA

Jesus Christ, I have a loaded weapon in my hand, numb-nuts!

RYAN presses a button on his key chain and listens to the defense systems turn off as RYAN comes around to his FRONT DOOR, SAMANTHA yanking the passenger side door open as RYAN shakes his head. 

RYAN

You see what I'm saying, you mask your feelings, your heart with anger and threats. 

SAMANTHA

Shut...up!

INT. THE STING

The TWO get inside as RYAN starts the STING, SAMANTHA looking clearly agitated as she bites her bottom lip as she reaches into the back and grabs a 9MM and loads it as RYAN throws his M16 in the back. 

RYAN

Look I know things between us are kinda weird, because of the...

SAMANTHA

Don't say it...

RYAN

...Sexual tension...

SAMANTHA

...And you did anyways. 

RYAN

But the point is...don't close your heart off anymore my turtledove...let me open your eyes...to our future...

SAMANTHA watches as RYAN draws closer and closer, leaning himself closer in for a kiss, SAMANTHA looking at him shocked as she aims the 9MM and fires a round right by his LEFT EARDRUM. 

RYAN SCREAMS in pain as the BULLET hits the WINDOW but stuck as the BULLETPROOF WINDOW did it's job. 

RYAN

YOU FUCKING BITCH!

SAMANTHA

I'm a bitch?! Fine sure, whatever I don't care but I can't stand listening to you talk about you and me! We are not together, we were never together! We had one night! One fucking night!

RYAN

YEAH ONE NIGHT OF FUCKING!

SAMANTHA

Why are you screaming?!

RYAN

BECAUSE YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOU SHOT A GUN RIGHT BY MY EAR DRUM ON FUCKING PURPOSE!

SAMANTHA

Well you won't be saying shit about me and you now for a while aren't you!

RYAN

ONLY AFTER YOU SUCK ON MY COCK YOU FUCKING WHORE!

SAMANTHA

That is it!

SAMANTHA places the 9MM to RYAN'S HEAD but RYAN aims his .45 right at her temple. The TWO staring at each other intently. 

SAMANTHA

You don't think I wont fucking do it!

RYAN

COME ON BITCH, PULL THE TRIGGER!

SAMANTHA

You think I wont end your fucking miserable existence right fucking now!

RYAN

PULL IT! PULL IT COME ON! YOU WANNA GO NIGHT NIGHT?! HUH?! WANNA GO NIGHT NIGHT, MOTHERFUCKER?!

SAMANTHA

Night Night? 

RYAN

YOU WANNA GO NIGHT NIGHT..OH SHIT!

The TWO scream as a REMNANT SLAMS A SHOVEL into the STING'S FRONT WINDSHIELD, The GLASS CRACKING but not breaking as RYAN puts the STING IN DRIVE but watches as they were suddenly surrounded by REMNANTS, RYAN watching as his FRONT DOOR was suddenly pried open, RYAN aiming up as he fires TWO SHOTS, killing the TWO REMNANTS that ripped it open but as he did FOUR REMNANTS dived inside, pulling and tugging RYAN as SAMANTHA aims and kills one but as she does her DOOR is pried open, SAMANTHA turning to fight the REMNANTS off but can't as they pull her out of the STING, RYAN reaching for her but is suddenly pulled out as well. 

INT. BUILDING

JARED watches as The HUNDREDS of BLUE DOTS had surrounded RYAN and SAMANTHA'S DOTS, JARED shaking his head as he grabs another MACHINE GUN and heads towards the DOOR. 

JARED

I knew that fucking asshole would get them in trouble...

AUSTIN

I can't let you go out there alone. 

JARED

CHARLES...

CHARLES

What? 

JARED

Turn your radio on and make sure we don't fall into an ambush, we're trying to be the aggressors here.

CHARLES

Uh, yeah no problem. 

JARED and AUSTIN move the SHELF and head out as CHARLES pushes the SHELF over as CHARLES monitors the movement on his WRIST COMPUTER. 

EXT. STREET

SAMANTHA and RYAN are forced onto their knees in the middle of the STREET as REMNANTS surround them in thick droves, RYAN trying to fight some of them off as one backhands him across the face, SAMANTHA not struggling much as RYAN is forced back down next to her. 

RYAN

You dumb broad...

SAMANTHA

How and the fuck is this my fault!

RYAN

You distracted me by shooting by my fucking ear drum!

SAMANTHA

Because you were being such an unbelievable dick! And by the way, you're the asshole who didn't lock the fucking doors!

VOICE

(O.S.)

It's funny to see how things don't change much huh? 

RYAN and SAMANTHA look up as the REMNANTS in front of them part as SHANE and FRANKIE YATES walk up towards them. 

RYAN

Great, you two assholes...didn't we forever seal y'all away? 

FRANKIE

Forever is just a myth in the universe foolish hunter. 

SHANE

SAMANTHA...

SAMANTHA

SHANE...FRANKIE...

SHANE

For such a respected and amazing young woman such as yourself to continue allying your services with...this thing...

RYAN sneers as SHANE paused to stare directly at him. 

SHANE

...It saddens me to know that you'll die because of your poor choice in allies. 

SAMANTHA

You think I couldn't stop you two even with this ass clown? 

RYAN

Bitch...!

SAMANTHA

Not now, Jesus Fucking Christ!

SHANE

How funny. 

SHANE pets a REMNANT as FRANKIE comes over and squats down in front of RYAN. 

FRANKIE

Still got that huge cock? 

RYAN

You still want some? I'll give you every damn inch baby...just let me go. 

FRANKIE

Haha, you're so vain. I would never...not after the last time...

RYAN

When I almost ripped you in half? 

FRANKIE

After you passed out mid way while eating a rack of ribs...

RYAN

I'm sorry I get hungry when I get horny. 

SAMANTHA

You banged her? She's a fucking monster!

RYAN

I've honestly banged a lot of monsters, mostly unwillingly, but sometimes willingly. I did not know she was one, all the same...should've known she was...no pussy is that tight...

FRANKIE

Hahaha. 

FRANKIE smacks RYAN lightly across the face before standing up as SHANE puts his hand behind his back. 

SHANE

Bring them along...they shall witness our greatest triumph...

SAMANTHA hears a beeping noise on her wrist as she looks down at her WATCH, SAMANTHA smirking as SHANE and FRANKIE turn and look at her. 

SAMANTHA

We're not going anywhere...

RYAN

Uh..SAMANTHA...

SAMANTHA

JARED, NOW!

SHANE and FRANKIE watch as JARED appears from on top of a nearby ROOFTOP, JARED firing down at the CROWD with his MACHINE GUN as he then tosses a GRENADE towards SHANE and FRANKIE, who disappear as the GRENADE blows a few REMNANTS into pieces as AUSTIN appears and touches the button on the LEFT, AUSTIN aiming as he begins mowing down enemies with barrages of MACHINE GUN FIRE, SAMANTHA dips her shoulders as the REMNANT holding her wasn't paying attention, SAMANTHA spinning as she kicks up and hits the REMNANT back before pulling up her .44 from her HOLSTER, SAMANTHA firing a point blank round into its skull as RYAN pushes his TWO off before he spin kicks one away and stabs the other in the head with his BOWIE KNIFE, RYAN pulling up his .45 as he watches the REMNANTS suddenly take off as RYAN aims about as JARED fires and kills some that were running off. 

SAMANTHA looks about as AUSTIN pops the chambers open as he begins throwing the magazines out of the FOUR BARREL as he comes over to the STING and starts to reload the FOUR BARREL as JARED hands SAMANTHA a EAR PIECE, SAMANTHA pushing it in as she can hear it turn on. 

SAMANTHA

CHARLES where are they going?

CHARLES

(O.S.)

In all different directions, but that's no longer your only problem...

SAMANTHA

What are you talking about? 

RYAN

WHERE ARE Y'ALL RUNNING! COME ON PUSSIES! COME GET SOME OF THIS!

JARED

Let me shoot him...please...

SAMANTHA

CHARLES...what are you talking about? 

CHARLES

(O.S.)

I picked up a reading of a CLASS A, free foamed apparition. 

SAMANTHA

WRAITH? 

CHARLES

(O.S.)

No...PHANTASMS. 

JARED

Fuck...

AUSTIN

What's wrong? 

AUSTIN snaps the CHAMBERS back in place as RYAN looks around and comes over as SAMANTHA looks about in horror. 

SAMANTHA

There's...a PHANTASM. 

RYAN

Fuck...

AUSTIN

No one think any negative thoughts, that's how it infiltrates your mind...

CHARLES

(O.S.)

It's close you guys...

SAMANTHA

RYAN, please tell me you have some holy water and some salt? 

RYAN

In the trunk...

SAMANTHA

Well go get it you ass!

RYAN

Look here you fucking...

RYAN freezes as a LIGHT GREY MIST seems to seep into the back of RYAN'S HEAD. 

CHARLES

(O.S.)

SAMANTHA! It just disappeared...!

SAMANTHA

FUCK!

SAMANTHA doesn't hesitate as she turns and aims at RYAN'S KNEECAP but RYAN rushes her and spinning low he elbows her in the chest, SAMANTHA huffing as JARED runs up and throws a few punches at him, RYAN easily dodging them before he uses JARED'S next punch to judo throw JARED over RYAN, JARED hitting the ground hard as RYAN knees down and hits JARED in the temple. 

AUSTIN throws a punch and hits RYAN across his face, RYAN rocking backwards as AUSTIN hits him twice in the chest before kicking him down, AUSTIN running over as he reaches into RYAN'S pocket trying to find the keys, AUSTIN pulling them out but not before RYAN reaches up and grabs AUSTIN from behind his head, RYAN hitting up and head butting AUSTIN hard, AUSTIN reeling as RYAN kicks up and slams his foot into AUSTIN'S CHEST knocking him back as RYAN quickly flips up and spin kicks AUSTIN across the face, the KEYS going sailing across the road as AUSTIN falls over, RYAN coming over as he begins stomping on AUSTIN'S CHEST, JARED standing up as he notices the KEYS and scrambles up running towards them as RYAN looks behind him and runs to cut him off, JARED reaching for them but not before RYAN punts him across the face. 

JARED whelps and rolls as RYAN kicks him again across the face before he reaches down and scoops up the KEYS. 

RYAN

Thanks...

RYAN turns and SAMANTHA cold cocks him across his face, RYAN spinning as SAMANTHA grabs him by his hair and pulls him back with a knee to his groin, RYAN screaming as she throws two hooks and then an UPPERCUT, RYAN rocking backwards as SAMANTHA runs and jump kicks RYAN three feet, RYAN'S body rag dolling down the street as SAMANTHA notices the KEYS had fallen out of his hands, SAMANTHA grabbing them as she runs to the STING'S TRUNK, opening the trunk as quickly as she could as she grabs the bag of salt but as she did, RYAN appeared and slammed her head against the TRUNK, SAMANTHA reeling as RYAN slams her head two more times before punching her in the stomach and slamming the trunk shut, but leaving KEYS in the LOCK. 

RYAN drags SAMANTHA by her hair around the CAR, RYAN stopping to stomp on AUSTIN'S CHEST a few more times, RYAN throwing SAMANTHA down onto the ground as JARED coughs up some blood but looks about as he notices he wasn't being looked at as RYAN kneels and grabs SAMANTHA by her face. 

RYAN

Well looky looky, the most famous hunter of them all. 

SAMANTHA

I assume you're the PHANTASM and not the retard you're inhabiting?

RYAN

Precisely. 

SAMANTHA

You suppose you're pretty smart just cuz you took over an idiot huh? 

RYAN

You should really listen to yourself when you talk, you know that? I could have just as easily taken you over too you know? 

SAMANTHA

Oh yeah? Why didn't you? Sexist? 

RYAN

Haha, you should feel the rage this one feels, the untapped potential that this one holds. Do you think he himself can do a spin kick? Of course not, but the body can if he wills it too...and do you wanna know the little secret me and him now both know...

SAMANTHA sneers as she looks at him with bulging eyes. 

RYAN

Haha...you know that he's this good...and it scares you...to know he's someone you actually depend on...

SAMANTHA

You don't know anything...

RYAN

Haha, I can read your face, I can see your thoughts...you know he can be better than you at times...you know he holds back...don't you? 

JARED reaches the TRUNK as AUSTIN stirs, RYAN still paying his attention to SAMANTHA. 

RYAN

So here's what I'm going to do for the YATES, seeing how they let me loose and all...and don't worry, even if you survive...there's so many surprises still waiting for you all in town...you'll never stop them from opening the PORTAL

SAMANTHA

Get the point you shit. 

RYAN

Haha, the point is...soon I will feed you to the...Ahhh...ahhh...ARRGGGHHHH!

SAMANTHA scoots back as RYAN suddenly drops to his knees and begins screaming as JARED opens the TRUNK. 

RYAN

What is this...what are you! Get out of here...! ARGGHHH! LEAVE ME ALONE!

SAMANTHA watches on stunned as JARED slides AUSTIN the SALT BAG, AUSTIN standing as he hobbles over and grabs RYAN, RYAN just screaming in pain as AUSTIN begins dumping SALT into RYAN'S open MOUTH, AUSTIN dropping the bag as SAMANTHA comes over and closes RYAN'S MOUTH, as JARED begins chanting in Latin. 

JARED

(IN LATIN)

OPEN THE GATES RECEIVE OUR WORDS, SEND THIS CREATURE BACK TO WHENCE IT CAME! CAST THE MONSTER BACK!

RYAN SCREAMS as his whole body suddenly trembles and BEAMS OF WHITE SHOOT FROM OUT OF HIS MOUTH, EYES AND EARS, SAMANTHA and AUSTIN shielding themselves from the sight before it dissipates in a large flash, RYAN falling over as he comes to a few moments later, RYAN looking over at everyone as RYAN winces and feels his head. 

RYAN

Why do I feel like I just got my ass kicked...?

SAMANTHA

Cuz you did you dick, you got possessed by a fucking PHANTASM.

RYAN

That makes sense.

RYAN stands as JARED tosses him his keys, RYAN looking JARED over as JARED points at him. 

JARED

Don't say anything. 

RYAN

Oh I wasn't. I was just going to watch you wince in pain, and laugh...

SAMANTHA

What the hell is going on with you?

RYAN

What? 

SAMANTHA

That thing kicked our ass, and in mid little bad guy speech it went ballistic...like there was something else in there with you?

RYAN

Bitch you crazy. 

SAMANTHA

Am I? 

RYAN

Yeah, I'm just stronger than a PHANTASM, my will power took it over and raped it in its ass. 

SAMANTHA

...Uh huh. 

SAMANTHA pushes her ear piece as she winces as CHARLES was continuously screaming their names. 

SAMANTHA

We're alright, CHARLES, you can stop yelling now. 

CHARLES

(O.S.)

Thank god...

SAMANTHA

CHARLES, the PHANTASM has been exercised, but it said something that threw me off...it said there are other things here in town that are gunning for us...

CHARLES

(O.S.)

He wouldn't be wrong. There's activity springing up all over the town, all over y'all position...

SAMANTHA

What kind of things are the YATES throwing at us, CHARLES? 

CHARLES

(O.S.)

I've got VAMPIRES, GHOULS, WEREWOLVES, more REMNANTS, and I'm getting a signature reading of something really nasty. 

SAMANTHA

Great...

RYAN

What we got? 

SAMANTHA

VAMPIRES, GHOULS, WEREWOLVES, REMNANTS, a bunch. 

AUSTIN

Fucking fun. 

CHARLES

(O.S.)

They're all closing in from different locations, NORTH WEST, WEST, SOUTH EAST, AND NORTH predominantly. 

SAMANTHA

Stay put CHARLES. 

SAMANTHA pushes the EARPIECE in and looks about as she rubs her head. 

SAMANTHA

Shit...

AUSTIN

We're sitting ducks. 

SAMANTHA

I need to get to my VAN, It's imperative we get my weaponry. 

RYAN

Yeah well...

RYAN reaches inside the back of the STING and reaches inside pulling up the WIDOWMAKER. 

RYAN

Le them come, we'll fuck them all up!

AUSTIN

We need to get SAMANTHA to the VAN, RYAN. 

RYAN

Then here. 

RYAN tosses JARED the keys to the STING as JARED looks at him confused. 

RYAN 

Take her to the VAN, and I swear if you get one scratch on my baby I will make you eat your balls through your chest cavity. 

JARED

Fair. 

JARED goes around and gets into the STING as SAMANTHA comes over to RYAN who nods at her. 

RYAN

Watch your ass. 

SAMANTHA

Always do. 

RYAN nods and steps back as SAMANTHA gets into the PASSENGER SIDE, shutting and locking the DOOR as JARED guns the STING and takes off towards the EAST. 

AUSTIN looks about as RYAN grabs the DUFFLE BAG and straps it around his body. 

RYAN

Let's split up, the more of them we get after us as a diversion the better chance we have of drawing them from my car...

AUSTIN

You're more concerned about the car then the people who need to get to the VAN? 

RYAN

Well that was where I was heading with it you dick. 

AUSTIN

Fine, I'll take west, you take north. 

RYAN

Sounds like a plan. 

AUSTIN

Be careful, RYAN...

RYAN

Yeah man, you too. 

The TWO head off as slowly...

INT. BUILDING

As they become their DOTS on CHARLES'S WRIST COMPUTER, CHARLES watching as the HOSTILE DOTS begin branching off towards where everyone was going. 

CHARLES

Dammit, I hope they...

CHARLES suddenly notices that his DOT was being surrounded, CHARLES looking about as he waits in the silence and hears nothing...CHARLES shaking a bit as suddenly there are loud screeches and knocks as CHARLES pulls up his SCORPION SUB MACHINE GUN as REMNANTS were re attacking the BUILDING, CHARLES looking about as he looks at his WRIST COMPUTER. 

CHARLES

Hurry up, SAMANTHA...

CHARLES listens as one of the BACK DOORS suddenly bursts open, but as it does the charges AUSTIN set goes off and CHARLES listens to the screeching sound of the REMNANTS being blown apart, CHARLES pulling up a 9MM along with the SUB MACHINE GUN as CHARLES screams as REMNANTS began appearing down the hallway towards CHARLES, CHARLES opening fire as they begin after him.
