Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 1

{Present Day}

[A group of men come out of a nightclub. One of them, dragging a boy by the leg, throws his lifeless body onto a nearby refuse dump.]

1st Gang Member: The deal is done, boss.

Gang Head: Once we send this, you guys don't need to worry about your money.

[Lightning flashes across the sky, then a bolt strikes the lifeless body.]

Jace Tyson: I will return and finish you bastards for betraying me!

Jace: Where am I? Aren't I supposed to be dead?

2nd Gang Member: Hey! You didn't knock him out properly, did you?

Jace: Why the hell am I here? What's going on?

Gang Head: Wow! I thought you were dead.

Jace: Who the hell are you?

Gang Head: I take it you hit your head. Make sure you finish him this time.

Gang Members: Yes, Boss!

3rd Gang Member: Don't worry. We'll be the last people you ever see.

Jace: No one talks to me like that.

[The gang member gets angry. He throws more punches at Jace, but they all miss. Jace crouches and sweeps his legs out from under him, knocking him to the ground.]

Jace:

[They rush at him, drawing their weapons. The first gang member swipes at Jace, who dodges every attack. Jace kicks the man off his feet, and he falls hard to the ground. Jace quickly ducks his head as a knife slices toward it. He grabs the second gang member's hand and catches the third gang member's hand. Then he twists their arms behind their backs and shoves them into the fourth gang member, sending them crashing to the ground. As they try to get back to their feet, Jace kicks their heads hard, knocking them unconscious.]

Gang Head: Simple tasks, and you idiots still failed. I guess I'll have to get rid of this trash myself. Die!

[The exceptionally fast Gang Head charges at Jace, swinging his machete furiously. Jace dodges the first two swings, but the third grazes his cheek, leaving a small cut. He quickly steps back.]

Gang Head: What's wrong? Are you afraid of my machete? You coward!

Jace: It's been a long time since anyone got that close to me with a weapon. How dare you.

Gang Head: Just die, will you!

[He swings his machete at Jace, but Jace ducks and kicks the weapon right out of his hand. Jace follows through with a heavy kick straight to the Gang Head's stomach, sending him crashing to the ground.]

Jace: I asked a simple question, but instead you guys decided to attack me for no reason. Am I not allowed to ask a question?

Gang Head: Go to hell.

Jace: You don't know it, but I hate rude people.

Gang Head: Hey, hey... What do you think you're doing, huh? Don't come closer, I'm warning you.

Jace:

Gang Head: What are you going to do?

Jace:

Gang Head: Stay away from me, I'm warning you! Don't come any closer!

Jace:

Gang Head: If you kill me, you will never see your brother and sister again!

[Meanwhile, inside the club, the gang's leader, the Boss, sits with five women around him, who flirt with him and massage his body. He holds his phone and looks at the photo of Jace's lifeless body taken earlier. He smiles and calls someone.]

Boss: I've done what you wanted.

Anonymous: Oh, really? Are you sure about that?

Boss: You can see it for yourself.

Anonymous: You've done well. Don't worry, you'll get your reward in a minute. Jace Tyson, you really were a thorn in my side.

Boss: Don't worry, I'll take care of you now that your brother is gone.

{Meanwhile, outside the club.}

Jace: What did you say? I have a brother and a sister?

Gang Leader: It seems you got knocked out too hard.

Jace: What did you say? Tell me!

Gang Leader: I said your family is with my boss up there. By now, your sister must be in bed with him.

Jace: Things are getting more complicated and interesting at the same time.

[He looks at the laughing gang leader, releases his grip, and punches him squarely in the face. Dragging the leader behind him, Jace steps into the club. Everyone freezes, their attention instantly fixing on the injured gang leader. Within seconds, the remaining gang members surround Jace. Suddenly, a loud #CRASH# echoes from below, the unmistakable sound of a shattering glass bottle. Jace glances around at the crowd surrounding him, smirks, and calmly closes the door.]
