[ She slowly starts to stir from her unconscious state. Her long red hair dangling in her face. Panning back reveals she's been stripped on her mask, belt, and boots. She's handcuffed to a chair. ]
Ugh...that...what happened?
[ She slowly comes to, struggling to keep herself awake. She slowly scans the area look at her surroundings.]
Where am I?
[ The door she's facing slowly opens and three of the masked goons walk in. ]
Masked Thug - Good. You are awake.
Roxi - Who are you?
Masked Thug - We are your destruction.
Roxi - Oh, that works.
Masked Thug - We have studied you for some time Ms. Johnson. And now, our operation will be complete.
Roxi - So..now what?
Masked Thug - That isn't up to us.
Roxi - Oh.
[ The door opens again and a man in a wheelchair rolls in. ]
Man - Hello Ms. Johnson.
Roxi - And, you must be wheels.
Man - Clever. Actually My name is Harold Peterson.
Roxi - Well Harry, you mind telling me what this is all about.
Harold - Ah, I'm glad you asked. You stopped my men from getting materials required for me to do my job.
Roxi - You'll have to be specific, I do that a lot.
Harold - Clever to the end. And a hero to the end, or so you think.
Roxi - What are you talking about?
Harold - I served this country for 20 years. I did my time. 2 wars and this is what happened to me. But do I get sympathy? NO!
Roxi - Oh boy...
Harold - I get stared at like some freak. Those people look at me like I'm some sideshow attraction. And to think, I fought for these people's freedom!
Roxi - Ugh...
Harold - What?
Roxi - Can you do me a favor and knock me out again. I can stand to listen to this drivel.
[ He smacks her. ]
Harold - Shut up! Do I not deserve respect? I fought bravely.
Roxi - You deserve respect, this isn't the way to keep it though.
Harold - I lost my legs for you!
Roxi - You hear that?
Harold - What?
Roxi - It's the world's smallest violin. Playing for you.
Harold - Joke all you like. But here you are, unmasked and helpless. You will not stand my way.
[ She struggles to get free, and can't. ]
Roxi - So...what do you want?
Harold - I wanted to save the world. But people refused to let me. Now, I will instead take over the world.
Roxi - Great.
Harold - Be quiet.
[ He smacks her again, she falls over. ]
The chair...it gave.
Roxi - Ow.
Harold - Now so mouthy now? Nothing smart to say?
Roxi - ....
Harold - C'mon hot pants, I know you have something to say.
Roxi - ....I do...This chair is broken.
Harold - What?
[ She leaps to her feet and jumps up, swinging her arms under her and brings the cuffs in front of her body. ]
Roxi - Now...let's start round 2.
Harold - You can't win. These men have been injected with my super soldier formula.
[ Roxi stares out at both the three men . ]
Roxi - If you think they can stop me, you're wrong, soldier boy.
Harold - kill her!
[ They rush her, but she is able to get behind one and start choking him out with her cuffs. He instictivley grabs the cuffs and snaps them to break free. ]
There!
[ She looks down and assumes a fighting pose, before rushing Harold and tackling him into the other room. In this room there are a bunch of controls and other items. She punches him, knocking him backwards and out. She looks around the room and finds a syringe.]
Hope this is the serum.
[ She stabs herself in the neck, then she goes back into the other room. ]
[ Moments later she emerges, having defeated the guards. She wonders around, looking. ]
There's got to be an emergency shut down. Wait, never mind. I'll just blow this place up. Can't let these guys keep working.
[ She locates her belt and items and then her time bomb. She pulls the pin, grabs Harold and escapes. She looks at then building...nothing. ]
Huh. I thought I could get that cool running away from an explosion thing.
[ Then...nothing. ]
What a gyp.
[ Then...it EXPLODES! ]
Ah, there it is.
What is it with me and angry ex-military people? First bloodhound, now this guy. You know, when this week is over, I'll be happy. This is irritating. Now, I'm seriously going to take soldier boy out.
Bloodhound may be bring and strong, but that won't make a lick of difference when I beat him down. And when he loses...I wonder who he'll blame, probably the military.
Now to get Harold here to the guild to wipe his mind. Can't have people knowing who I am.
Could this week get any worse? Time to make it better.
