Volume 3 - Chase

Chase

“Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase -- that's what wild geese are for.”

Scene 1, Grand Plaza
The Prince: People, i've called You hear to bring You the best news! We've captured Sparrow!
[Huge Cheers]
The Prince: He will be executed, in two days time! Right here in the Plaza! It will be the end of all Our troubles! With Sparrow gone, there will be no more terrorist assaults! There will be no more rebellions! Everything will be bright!
[Crowd Cheers]

Scene 2, The Throne-room
[Sparrow is chained to a throne-like chair in the middle of the throne-room. The Nobles haven't arrived, so it's just him and Irakura.]
Sparrow: So... this is it...
The Prince: I've finally captured You... it's all over...
Sparrow: Not quite.
Irakura: Huh?!
[One of the walls explodes, and Sparrow's crew rushes in, as Irakura calls in samurai. The samurai chase Sparrow, who's forced to separate from his men while escaping the Palace.]
Irakura: Find him!
Kasupe: *enters the room* What-?
Irakuta: He escaped...
[Exit Kasupe]

Scene 3, Canon's Apartment
Canon: Kasupe's just told me that Sparrow's escaped.
Koiki: What?!
Canon: Uh huh.
Atsura: So are we...?
Canon: Yeah. Last time we messed up, since Irakura got to him first. We need to get him first, so we can turn him in to Chief Soto. Let's go! He's separated from his men, so he's alone, and his men are leaderless! We need one or the other.

Scene 4, The Police Station
[The Chief is sitting behind his desk.]
Police Officer: Chief! Sparrow's escaped!
Soto: What?! Tell everyone we're chasing after him immediately! Get ready, let's go!
[Exit Officer]
Canon: *enters without anyone seeing him* Chief, let's work together... I intend to honor our arrangement.
Chief Soto: Good, good... I suppose we can work together. Are You ready to leave? I'm leaving now.
Canon: I am. My people are searching for Sparrow's men, me and You can look for him.

Scene 5, The Streets of the Capitol
Sparrow (to self): I told my people that we'd meet up at the storage silos and destroy them... so I suppose I need to get there quickly! [takes off running]

Scene 6, The Rooftops
Canon: Chief, we can't just chase after Sparrow, we have to get ahead of him. Where do You think he'll strike next?
Soto: What makes You think he'll attack?
Canon: He's not gonna lay low. He'll attack quickly, because he wants to show The Prince's wrong about being safe. He has a chance to destroy hope here.
Soto: Ah... I see... very well. Where can he do the most damage to the people? A public place?
Canon: No... thats a place he can be easily caught... are there other places?
Soto: Maybe the food silos... yes! That's it! It's a symbol of plenty, and it's a very needed thing! They tower over the skyline, so if they're destroyed, it'll be a really big deal!
Canon: That makes sense, and there's nothing else to go off of, so let's go there.

Scene 7, The Roads
[Sparrow's group is running, and when Atsura spots them, they pursue them. It degenerates into a chase. Sparrow's men run away from the silo, to buy him time]

Scene 8, The Silos
Sparrow: *sets explosives at the base of one of the food silos*
Canon and Soto: Stop!
Sparrow: No...!
[Canon, Sparrow, and Soto fight. Canon wins because he has an ally.]
Canon: He's all Yours. I dont want to see him ever again.

Scene 9, The Throne-Room
Irakura: Chief, do You have Sparrow?
Chief Soto: ...No.
