<p>OPENING CREDITS</p>
<p>1. EXT - FOREST – DAWN</p>
<p>A GIRL with pale skin and light blue hair is piloting a transport, slightly unsteadily, 
alongside a river. </p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">Where is he? I’ve got to find him? He can’t just disappear... 
Oh... I’ve never driven one of these things before...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>She hears a splash. A claw becomes visible at the rear of the transport.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">Someone there?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>A shadowy, insectoid figure jumps onto the deck.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">(more threatening)</p>
<p align="CENTER">You! Identify yourself! What land are you from?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The figure leaps at her. </p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">Aaah!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>She falls down, and looks back up the figure, now towering over her.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">What do you want?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The figure’s face becomes visible. It is GROUCHO.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GROUCHO</p>

<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The GIRL adopts a terrified expression. She screams, and the transport spins 
out of control, into the water.</p>
<p>SUBTITLE- THE FIRST NIGHT: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE GREAT PRIESTESS OF WATER</p>
<p>2. EXT – FLORISTICA – DAY</p>
<p>Some establishing shots of the city and the palace. We see MAKOTO’s house- a 
small building adjacent to the palace, with some very un-El-Hazard-like satellite 
dishes on the roof.</p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Good morning, Makoto!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>3. INT – MAKOTO’S HOUSE – MAKOTO’S BEDROOM – DAY</p>
<p>MAKOTO is lying in bed, asleep. NANAMI is sat opposite with a basket of food, 
looking at MAKOTO’s collection of technology.</p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hmm... Look at all this stuff. It’s amazing, the way you keep 
building junk.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MAKOTO sits up.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(yawns)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh... good morning.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Look. I brought you some breakfast.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Thank you.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>NANAMI sits on the edge of MAKOTO’s bed.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">And there’s miso soup too.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yum.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">(blushing)</p>
<p align="CENTER">If someone saw us, they might think we were married!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(shocked)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh? Um... think so?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Today I’m running a sweetheart special! Thirty percent off!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(gasps, then bows his head)</p>
<p align="CENTER">I should have known it wasn’t free.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>4. EXT – THE FUJISAWA RESIDENCE – DAY</p>
<p>We see the FUJISAWAS’ house- much larger than MAKOTO’s. MIZ can be heard laughing.</p>
<p>5. INT – THE FUJISAWA RESIDENCE – LIVING ROOM - DAY</p>
<p>MIZ is staring at her wedding ring, laughing away. SHAYLA and AFURA are seated.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(laughs)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh, goodness! My left hand has felt so happy recently!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(annoyed)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Sheesh. Is she ever gonna stop flaunting that silly ring?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Now, Shayla. Let her live it up. Miz and Mr Fujisawa have finally 
gotten married.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">And before she hit thirty. Close call!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(nervous)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yes... oh, well, your home is simply stunning. If I could live 
in a place like this, I’d snag a husband too.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(still smiling)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh, and guess what else? My sweet, sweet Masamichi insists that 
we climb Mount Lilicoco together for the honeymoon... even though I did tell him 
I want to take a trip abroad...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(to AFURA)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hey, isn’t she running kind of late?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Her successor!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">For heaven’s sake, don’t mention it to her. Keep quiet for now, 
or you can count on Miz to turn our visit into a search party.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Good point.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MIZ notices SHAYLA and AFURA talking amongst themselves, and confronts them, 
annoyed.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hmm! Afura, Shayla-Shayla! Are you listening to me?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA &amp; AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Uh... of course, Miz!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MIZ beams again.</p>
<p>6. INT – MAKOTO’S HOUSE – MAKOTO’S BEDROOM – DAY</p>
<p>NANAMI is examining one of MAKOTO’s artefacts- a domed object.</p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hmm... What’s this? A TV?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>NANAMI goes to touch the object.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">No! Don’t touch it!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh! Why not? What is this thing?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">It’s a dimensional transporter I’ve been working on. It doesn’t 
function right.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Careful, or you might end up in some weird dimension with no way 
to return home.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yikes!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>NANAMI recoils, knocking a second object, a diamond held inside a triple-ringed 
structure, onto the floor.</p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh! Makoto!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Don’t worry about that thing. It was a relic found at some excavation 
site. I have no idea what it is, but it’s harmless.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The three rings in the object slide closer together, and the diamond spins like 
a compass needle, pointing ahead.</p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">It’s moving!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">It’s never done this! What the heck is it doing?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>NANAMI gasps nervously.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">It looks like it’s pointing over there!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>NANAMI squeals.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Nanami, what’s the matter?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">The... thingamabob...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>NANAMI points to the dimensional transporter, now lit up.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">But how could that b... I’m positive I didn’t turn that on!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>7. INT – THE FUJISAWA RESIDENCE – LIVING ROOM - DAY</p>
<p>FUJISAWA has now joined SHAYLA, AFURA and MIZ. They are sat around a table, having 
drinks.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Welcome, ladies!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA/AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Thanks!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">I hope we’re not intruding.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">By the way, mind if I ask? How’s the married life treating you?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Um... gee, you’re putting me on the spot. It’s great... (laughs 
nervously) That right, Miz?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Ha... He didn’t say ‘Miss’. Hear that?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">They’re married now, silly. He wouldn’t call her that.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Sweetheart?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Umm... yes, my dear?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Qawoor’s late. I’m worried, aren’t you?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Uh, well... should I be?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">But she assured me that she would stop by our home this afternoon.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Well... the day’s still young.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">It’s early yet. The sun’s still high in the sky.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>We see the sun through one of the windows. One of the drinks on the table casts 
a shadow. Fade to later – the cup is empty, and the shadow has got longer. MIZ is 
now drumming her fingers on the table impatiently, sighing.</p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">This priestess... what’s she like, Miz? Tell us all about this 
Qahoon chick.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Shayla, it’s Qawoor Towles.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh, well... She’s the descendant of an unknown tribe. Top marks 
at the seminary... (more enthusiastic) And the girl’s merely seventeen!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>SHAYLA and AFURA gasp.</p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Seventeen?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">The youngest one so far.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Compared to you two, she’s just a child. Careful! (laughs) Before 
you know it, you hotshots will be old maids! Better catch husbands while you have 
a chance! Hurry!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>She laughs again, displaying her wedding ring for all to see.</p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yeah, whatever.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Well, the young lady’s lineage isn’t important. What counts is 
her ability to perform her duties as a priestess.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Naturally. She’s flawless. She’s also sweet tempered and quite 
a charmer. (laughs) I couldn’t have found a more perfect replacement!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">My, such praise.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Maybe she’s too good to be true. I mean, it’s pretty sloppy to 
be this late for an appointment.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>AFURA gasps.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hopefully nothing’s happened... (to SHAYLA and AFURA) Please be 
darlings and go look for Qawoor for me...</p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Miz, stop. There’s nothing to worry about. She’s simply running 
late.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yeah, what’s a few hours? After all, we’ve waited for this for 
years!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>AFURA gasps again.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(annoyed)</p>
<p align="CENTER">You’ve been waiting?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>AFURA raises a hand to her head, as SHAYLA tries to extricate herself.</p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Uh... no... what I meant was... oh...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(changing the subject)</p>
<p align="CENTER">So, tell us. Where are you planning to take your honeymoon? Didn’t 
you mention going abroad?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(brightening)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Let’s see... I think Beansland or the Duchy of Perallia is the 
ideal trip. (to FUJISAWA) Right, sweetie?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(a little nervously)</p>
<p align="CENTER">But... I thought we were gonna climb Mount Lilicoco, hon.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(irritated)</p>
<p align="CENTER">You won’t be going anywhere if what’s-her-face doesn’t show up.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(annoyed again)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Say what?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>SHAYLA and AFURA groan. SHAYLA has done it again.</p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Say, Miz, are these new honeymoon travel pamphlets? My, what romantic 
settings!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(brightens again)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yep! I picked those!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>8. EXT – DERELICT BUGROM FORTRESS – DAY</p>
<p>Establishing shot: the remains of one of the Bugrom Fortresses destroyed by the 
Eye of God.</p>
<p>9. INT – DERELICT BUGROM FORTRESS – DAY</p>
<p>JINNAI is directing some BUGROM in the reconstruction work.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Faster, you dogs! Pull!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>GROUCHO, ZEPPO and CHICO struggle to erect a column of honeycomb.</p>

<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">(infuriated)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Put some guts and muscle into it!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The column goes up, just as ZEPPO rests a huge wall of honeycomb against it.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hey! What are you morons doing?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>GROUCHO, ZEPPO and CHICO, aware of the unstable structure they’ve inadvertently 
created, run from the scene.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Stop!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The structure begins to collapse. JINNAI turns and runs.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Whoa...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>Too late. JINNAI is buried under a mound of honeycomb. He emerges from the debris, 
irate.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">You imbeciles!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">DIVA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Mr Jinnai!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">(surprised)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>JINNAI looks around to see DIVA, being carried on her throne by four ZEPPO-TYPES.</p>
<p align="CENTER">DIVA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Construction of the new Bugrom Empire... isn’t going too smoothly, 
I see.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>JINNAI, stands up, clears his throat and dusts himself down.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Leaders like me don’t know the meaning of failure... but I admit, 
we are running a bit short on bug power.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">DIVA</p>
<p align="CENTER">How true.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>GROUCHO approaches JINNAI.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GROUCHO</p>
<p align="CENTER">-Bugrom language-</p>

how much?</p>

<p align="CENTER">GROUCHO</p>

<p align="CENTER">Save your breath! Go back there right now!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>10. EXT – FOREST – DAY</p>
<p>GROUCHO and HARPO walk through the forest.</p>

<p align="CENTER">-Bugrom language-</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>Suddenly a beam of light whizzes past GROUCHO’s face.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GROUCHO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(surprised)</p>
<p align="CENTER">-Bugrom language-</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>GROUCHO sees the source of the light. MAKOTO is in the distance, holding his 
diamond relic, which is now emitting two strong beams of light, which merge into 
one, pointing in a single direction. </p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">That’s bizarre... the beam suddenly became brighter...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The beam points straight ahead, towards the river. MAKOTO follows it, until he’s 
standing on the river’s edge. The beam is pointing to the middle of the river.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">What could this be?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The mists on the water clear, and MAKOTO sees the GIRL floating in the river.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(gasps)</p>
<p align="CENTER">My God, a woman!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MAKOTO takes his shirt off and swims out to rescue the girl. He takes hold of 
her, and she makes a noise.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Still breathing.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>11. EXT – FOREST – DAY</p>
<p>Smoke rises from a campfire. MAKOTO is drying the GIRL’s clothes.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(thinks)</p>
<p align="CENTER">I’ve never seen clothing like that before. I wonder where she’s 
from...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The GIRL, who MAKOTO has covered with his shirt, stirs.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hey, you’re awake.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">(sitting up)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Where... am I?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>She notices that she is only covered by MAKOTO’s shirt, and gasps.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Um... well, your garments were soaking wet.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">GIRL</p>
<p align="CENTER">(blushing)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh. Thank you for drying them. And for saving me. I, Qawoor Towles, 
shall always be grateful. Who are you?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Um... right, I should have introduced myself. I’m Makoto Mizuhara. 
Um... by the way...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">QAWOOR</p>
<p align="CENTER">Yes?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">How did you end up in the river?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">QAWOOR</p>
<p align="CENTER">(suddenly panics)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Oh no! I forgot all about it! This is terrible! Um, can you tell 
me where we are?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Sure. We’re in the woods outside of Floristica.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">QAWOOR</p>
<p align="CENTER">What? Oh my gosh, I’m so late!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>COMMERCIAL BREAK</p>
<p>12. EXT – OUTSIDE THE FUJISAWA RESIDENCE – DAY</p>
<p>We hear MIZ, SHAYLA, AFURA and FUJISAWA in conversation from inside the house.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Listen, we’ve waited long enough. It’s time to go out and look 
for Qawoor!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">You... you mean right now?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Aw, crap.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Well.. it’s not unusual for travellers to arrive one of two days 
late.</p>

<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(O.S.)</p>
<p align="CENTER">She can’t!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MIZ opens the front door. </p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">I’ve planned everything! I scheduled our reservations around her 
arrival time!</p>

<p>13. INT – THE FUJISAWA RESIDENCE – DAY</p>
<p>MIZ, SHAYLA, AFURA and FUJISAWA are standing by the front door.</p>
<p align="CENTER">AFURA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Reservations so soon? You don’t mean you’ve already made your 
honeymoon arrangements...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">(smiling)</p>
<p align="CENTER">I didn’t forget the inauguration ceremony.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Well, it’s not like there’s a rush to have the ceremony. There’s 
always a transition period.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">It’ll be the day after tomorrow.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>

<p align="CENTER">SHAYLA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Then I’ll have a cruiser waiting to whisk us away right afterwards.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">What? Doesn’t that seem too soon?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>

<p align="CENTER">Dear, is that going to be a problem?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FUJISAWA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Why... um... no, hon.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MIZ turns to the door.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MIZ</p>
<p align="CENTER">Then come on!</p>

<p>14. EXT – ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST – DAY</p>
<p>MAKOTO and QAWOOR head through the forest. QAWOOR is now wearing MAKOTO’s shirt. 
He is carrying hers.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">This is a shortcut into town.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">QAWOOR</p>
<p align="CENTER">I’m sorry. What a burden I am.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MAKOTO looks at his relic, which is twitching again.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>

<p align="CENTER">This thing’s been pointing at her the whole time...</p>

<p>GROUCHO and HARPO emerge from some bushes in front of MAKOTO and QAWOOR.</p>
<p align="CENTER">GROUCHO</p>

<p>Both parties seem as surprised as each other by this meeting.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">It’s the Bugrom! And why now?</p>

<p>GROUCHO and HARPO go to attack. QAWOOR is cowering behind MAKOTO, terrified.</p>
<p align="CENTER">QAWOOR</p>
<p align="CENTER">Big... bugs...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Keep calm!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>QAWOOR screams. The relic lights up.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">What the...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The relic a small explosion which blows GROUCHO and HARPO away. When the dust 
settles, MAKOTO is lying in a crater. He sits up, and realises QAWOOR is gone.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Qawoor... What happened to her?</p>

<p align="CENTER">I was beginning to tire of those enormous banquets and gourmet

<p>El-Hazard’s favourite couple, ALIELLE and FATORA are seated next to a window. 
NANAMI is standing nearby.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Tasty food. I’m sure we’ll eat here often.</p>

<p align="CENTER">ALIELLE</p>

<p align="CENTER">NANAMI</p>
<p align="CENTER">So, family, huh? A sister?</p>

<p align="CENTER">ALIELLE</p>
<p align="CENTER">Kid brother.</p>

<p align="CENTER">Oh, what a shame. Boys are of no interest to me.</p>

<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Ah, it’s you, Diva. Hmm... (thoughtful) Diva, I’d like a word

<p>JINNAI approaches DIVA.</p>
<p align="CENTER">JINNAI</p>
<p align="CENTER">Mmm-hmm. I’m sure you realise that your population has dwindled. 
It’s impossible to build a Bugrom Empire without Bugrom.</p>

<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">DIVA</p>

<p align="CENTER">And I’ll have the Shinonome Udon. Easy on the soy sauce, okay?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>QAWOOR turns to MIZ, still sulking and not really looking in QAWOOR’s direction.</p>

<p>26. ABSTRACT DREAM SEQUENCE</p>
<p>A brilliant light source is reflected off MAKOTO’s face. MAKOTO floats through 
the light. In the distance, he can just make out IFURITA.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">I... Ifurita?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>IFURITA turns her head to face him.</p>

<p align="CENTER">(shouts)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Ifurita! Is it really you? Wait!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MAKOTO goes to run, but is pulled back, by an invisible force. Suddenly, a strange 
black fog starts to envelop IFURITA.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(shouts)</p>
<p align="CENTER">What’s that stuff?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>IFURITA reaches out powerlessly as the smoke encroaches further.</p>
<p align="CENTER">IFURITA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Makoto! Hurry! Hurry!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>Makoto struggles against the force, trying to inch forwards.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">If... Ifurita! I’ll... save... you...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MAKOTO’s hand stretches out towards IFURITA.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hold on!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>IFURITA is now all but obscured by the blackness.</p>
<p align="CENTER">IFURITA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Makoto...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The black fog completely encircles IFURITA.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">I... Ifurita! No!</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">The black fog transforms into a strange symbol, then into the 
outline of an unfamiliar, laughing ENTITY.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>27. INT – MAKOTO’S HOUSE – MAKOTO’S BEDROOM – NIGHT</p>
<p>There is a clatter as IFURITA’s staff falls to the floor. Next to it, the relic 
is emitting more beams of light, which stray across MAKOTO’s sleeping eyes. MAKOTO 
wakes up suddenly.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">(gasps)</p>
<p align="CENTER">A nightmare... that’s all...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>MAKOTO notices the dimensional transporter, which is also glowing.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh? What is this? Am I still dreaming?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>Nearby, QAWOOR’s shirt, still hanging out to dry, is swaying gently, as if in 
a breeze. MAKOTO notices.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>We see that the shirt bears a crest identical to the symbol from the dream.</p>
<p align="CENTER">MAKOTO</p>
<p align="CENTER">There’s... no wind. What does all of this mean?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>28. INT – PALACE – CORRIDOR – NIGHT</p>

<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(calling)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Alielle? Alielle, where are you?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>The light briefly illuminates the palace’s legendary bathroom.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(groans)</p>
<p align="CENTER">She’s not out here. It’s so naughty of her to disappear on me.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>29. INT – PALACE – FATORA’S BEDROOM – NIGHT</p>
<p>The door opens, and FARORA looks in. She sees the bed is occupied. </p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(laughs to herself)</p>
<p align="CENTER">I see. That rascal’s been waiting for me all along.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>FATORA removes her robe and approaches the bed. She leans over the sleeping figure.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">You deserve a tongue lashing, you imp. </p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>Wahey. FATORA reaches under the covers. &quot;ALIELLE&quot; moans.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(surprised)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Hmm? You lost weight. Your butt feels a lot bonier than it was 
before.</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>FATORA feels around under the covers.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Let’s see how the rest of you feels...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>FATORA reaches between the sleeping figure’s legs.</p>
<p align="CENTER">&quot;ALIELLE&quot;</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">Huh? Wait a minute...</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>
<p>30. INT – PALACE – CORRIDOR – NIGHT</p>
<p>FATORA can be heard screaming.</p>
<p>31. EXT – FLORISTICA – PALACE – NIGHT</p>
<p>&quot;ALIELLE’s&quot; screams echo through the night.</p>
<p align="CENTER">FATORA</p>
<p align="CENTER">(disgusted)</p>
<p align="CENTER">Who the hell are you?</p>
<p align="CENTER"></p>

<p align="CENTER">Who did Fatora encounter that night? Huh? Two Alielles? Qawoor’s 
inauguration day arrives, and she finally assumes her role as the Great Priestess 
of Muldoon. Well, almost... Shayla’s under the impression that a romance is blooming 
between Qawoor and myself! That causes events to take an unexpected turn. What happens 
on the day of the ceremony has to be seen to be believed! Next on El-Hazard: The 
Alternative World... The Door to the Future Opens. A new adventure is just beginning.</p>
