5.3 and 4 - Forced Out and Out With A Bang

Forced Out

Scene 1 [A Docked Ship]
[Canon disguises himself as Sparrow, and then catches the attention of a sailor.]

Scene 2 [Irakura’s HQ]
Messenger: My lord! A sailor has spotted Sparrow hiding on the boats.
Irakura: He’s given himself away! I should’ve known he was on the ships… take them all out to sea, then search the ships.
Messenger: It will be done my lord.
Irakura: Swiftly.

Scene 3 [A Reservoir Tower Near The Pipes]
Atsura: Are you sure about this?
Canon: Mmhmm. I hate to inconvenience anyone, but this has to be done.
[They blow up the tower, which floods the pipes.]

Scene 4 [The Beaches]
Canon: The others are searching the housing comlex, so it’s up to us to smoke him out of the beaches.
[Canon and Atsura with a few others set fire to the beach.]

Scene 5 [HQ]
Irakura: How convenient for us. The enemy of my enemy is inadvertently helping me.

Out With A Bang

Scene 1 [The Houses]
[Enter Canon]
Canon: Koiki! Gather the others and let’s go! Sparrow’s been caught!
Koiki: Right away!

Scene 2 [Outside the HQ]
Irakura: So, I have you once again Sparrow.
Sparrow: Too bad your headquarters is gonna explode.
Irakura: Evacuate the Headquarters! Hurry!
[They all run away from the headquarters. Then, the storage silos explode.]
Irakura: I should’ve known you’d lie, you mongrel!
Sparrow: But this isn’t a lie. There are thirteen bombs hidden around this base. They’ll all go off soon. *laughs*
[Enter Canon]
Canon: I heard his threat, and I’ll help.
Irakura: The soldiers will start sweeping the base for the explosives, while we try and reason like Sparrow, to find where he would place them.

Scene 3 [Same]
Irakura: The best we’ve been able to come up with is anywhere that would symbolize protection or hope… anything to cause a little chaos, or spread a little more fear…
Canon: In other words, we have no idea.

Scene 4 [Same]
Soldier: we’ve only been able to find eleven.
Sparrow: if you don’t release me, you’ll all die!
Soldier: let him go!
Irakura: No!
[The soldiers move in, menacingly.]
Irakura: Fine… it’s your funeral.
[They let Sparrow go, and he runs towards the gate.]
Canon: The twelfth and thirteenth bombs don’t exist.
Irakura: Apprehend him!
[The Gates Explode.]
Canon: my mistake. The thirteenth bomb doesn’t exist. It was his supreme ace in the hole. We’d never find it, so he’d force us to let him go no matter what.
