2. EXT. RUBEUS. VOLCANIC MOON - DAY
RUBEUS – VOLCANIC MOON
8924 A.D.
We see a narrow trail across the hostile face of the
canyon. A group of creatures make their way along it. At
the head of the party is a human, AXELON GAZE. Following
close behind is a SPARTA BOUNTY HUNTER, (a reptile-like
humanoid) named LANA. Bringing up the rear are five
DESTROYER DROIDS. They act as porters and are wrangling
the two heavily packed PLASMA LAUNCHERS.
The Destroyer Droids become increasingly Violent. They
communicate to each other in bursts of binary Sounds. The
human who is known to her friends as Axel, glances back
at them.
LANA
(anxious)
Their power cells are
failing.
Lana turns and yells at Axel as their space ship is
powering down.
The Destroyer Droids halt, power down, and then collapse
to the ground.
AXEL
No.
AXEL
We don’t need them.
LANA
I told you it was a scam.
They were cheap for a
reason.
Lana and axel gets off the ship, Lana finds some power
cells on a crashed android fighter.
AXEL
Just leave them. Once we’ve
got it we’ll reach the
shuttle by night fall.
He turns back to the trail. Lana cuts loose the Pigmy
Mammoths, and silently indicates her desire to kill Axel.

3. Axel and Lana fight their way through the entwined
vegetation that guards the Space Fighter. Lana discovers
a tuft of long, course fur on the ground, and examines
it.
LANA
(showing Axel)
Rubian Wolfmen. It’s fresh…
a few hours. They’re hunting
us!
AXEL
No! If they had our scent,
we’d be dead already.
Axel and Lana, clearing the brambles, all turn to face
the Space Fighter.
The Space Fighter is dark, immense and awesome.
Vegetation curls from every ancient bolt, over each
welded panel. The entrance is sealed by a round, thick,
airtight door, and the growth upon it makes it look like
open jaws.
AXEL
She’s been lost for over
2000 years.
LANA
And her bounty will be mine.
AXEL
You’ll get paid as agreed,
when it’s safe with my
people.
LANA
These cargo vessels have
ancient anti-looting
security, impossible to
escape, why should I put my
trust in you?
AXEL
Your Choice.
