5.5 and 6 - Pariah and Spectators

Pariah

Scene 1 [The Coastal Base]
[Everyone chases after Sparrow, but he escapes.]

Scene 2 [Inside The Base]
[Canon watches as several of Sparrow’s men are taken prisoner.]
Canon: Is that all of them?
Irakura: No. Maru and a few others got away.

Scene 3 [The Grand Plaza]
Irakura: Anyone who helps the fugitive Sparrow in any way shall be put to death, along with their families and friends. However, if you aid the authorities in his capture, you will be given great rewards. Sparrow is pure evil… please help us capture him.

Scene 4 [The Desert]
[Sparrow is seen walking through a desert, alone.]

Scene 5 [Canon’s Apartment]
Koiki: So who is this Maru?
Atsura: He’s an extremist, even back when he was part of the Ameyura. He always followed Sparrow’s lead though. He’s very dangerous, and is the perfect candidate to continue Sparrow’s campaign against Irakura.
Canon: He’s Sparrow’s successor.

Spectators

Scene 1 [The Grand Plaza]
Irakura: People of Norea, I present you with a great advancement in technology! Air-ships!
Crowd: ooh & aaahh
[A large airship lifts off from the plaza, surprising many.]
Irakura: in honor of this occasion, we will be having a holiday!
Crowd: Yay!

Scene 2 [The Palace]
Irakura: What applications do these ships have for the military?
General: Obviously as transports. Smaller ones could be used in battle, or to drop explosives…
Irakura: All excellent ideas! Tell Kurisu, the chief engineer, to get to work on modifying the ships for war. Hopefully, we’ll be able to use them to win the war in Dracoa, finally.
Generals: Yes sir!

Scene 3 [The Skyscraper Area]
[As a hot air balloon drifts by, Maru jumps off the skyscraper and hijacks it. He pilots it towards other balloons, and attacks them with spears he brought with him.]

Scene 4 [Near Previous]
[On the ground, Kasupe is hanging out with Canon and his group. They’re about to take a ride on a balloon. Then, they spot Maru popping balloons.]
Canon: Let’s go!
Kasupe: Wait! I can do this by myself (inwardly) and look like a hero!
Canon: Well..
Kasupe: Please, let me prove myself!
Canon: Fine. I guess… I’ll give you ten minutes.

Scene 5 [The Sky]
[Kasupe pilots his balloon at Maru’s.]
Kasupe: okay, let’s see… a plan… I need a plan…
[The Balloons collide, and Maru pops Kasupe’s. Kasupe makes sure that he’s caught with Maru, so they go down together. As they go down, Kasupe takes a risk and jumps. He just barely breaks through a window, on a skyscraper, and survives.]

Scene 6 [The Ground]
[Enter Kasupe]
Kasupe: Is Maru’s body there?
Canon: uh-uh. He might have survived, or he fell out at some point and he’s dead somewhere on the ground.
Koiki: With our luck... he’s alive.
