Scene 1
It's a bright sunny day in Texas. Thomas has just graduated from college. Him and his girlfriend Madison loved not only each other but mysteries of what could lie down beneath them.
The family of both took pictures and celebrated their kids graduation. Now that they have become adults it was their decision to stay or leave.
"We have thought through and we decided to stay for 2 weeks." Said Madison. "After that we are leaving Texas and moving to Nevada." Thomas spoke. "Why Nevada?" One of the mother's spoke. "We both wanted to take a trip there if we enjoy it enough we'll live there." Madison spoke. "We also thought to learn about the desert there." Thomas spoke.
"It's are thing to research on our interest." They both spoke out.
The father of both spoke. "Oh I see. You're researching the things underground and disappearances." Said the father of Thomas.
"Yes that's right." Tom and Madi exclaimed.
After the weeks they stayed they took the trip.
Scene 2
Day after day and night after night both of them Thomas and Madison drove to Nevada.
It took a while but they have made it.
They explored a couple lakes and went to Las Vegas. They went to many places and would even just stand out of their car stay calm and enjoy the scenery during the day. At night they would gaze out at the stars and make up constellations. They were having fun. Every day was different. They loved it so much the decided to stay. Jarbidge Wilderness is where they moved too.
Scene 3: The Desert
Soon they got to work. They took their car or most likely truck out to a desert. Completely out of the way of other places of sounds. The put seismographs in and they had something that looked like a metal detector. A subterranean scanner they called it. They got to work.
In just an hour Thomas found something. He got a reading saying not far down. Just a foot down there was something. Tom put down the scanner. He took out a hand sized shovel he had on is waist. "Nope this won't do. I need a real shovel." He said. He headed to the truck looking for the shovel. He found it and headed back. "Okay. First thing found. Let's see what it is." He said to himself.
He dug out dirt and just already 5 inches down he hit something.
"What the" he said. He went around it.
About 15 minutes later he found it was small spiked rock of some sort and finally uncovered it. He then got down taking out a big dust brush brushing the spiked rock.
"Madison come look at this I found something!" He shouted. She heard and followed the call of his voice.
"Woah. Thomas you just found this." She said as she saw and quickly kneeled down to see it. "Yeah." He said. "Look here it appears like it has some kind of spikes along the side of the stone." Tom mentioned to her. "What do you think it could have come from?" She said. "I don't know one things for sure it's definitely fresh just by finding it that deep in the ground. I also found a couple more." He said to her.
After that they knew where they started was a good area so they stayed their for some time covering about 804 meters/half a mile of the land. They would spend hours every day outside there and find a couple things.
A couple more of the spikes a body with they called police on and some prairie dog holes.
Scene 4: Seeing what's underneath
They got more equipment. They had a drone scanning the area for subterranean finds. They had a camera to take into some of the prairie dog holes.
"Hey look a prairie dog." Madison said.
She found her first animal to study from underneath on the third day of being out in the desert of research.
Soon on day 4 Tom didn't really didn't find much except weird natural solid substance about 5 feet deep 300 meters out from Madison's search station. Soon they hired new researchers to take there place as they moved to a different area spot in day 27.
When they go at most 10 miles out from their home next to the not so much known triangle "Nevada Triangle" they opened a new researching area. Not too far from the 1st research station. Tents were put up in both areas and a building started going under construction as the research facility were they'd call it base for the findings.
Madison and Tom started again with newly hired assistants Kayla and Micheal. They travels to at least half a mile to only find. A couple of the same stuff with new. Some metal was found and more bodies of snakes, prairie dogs, and humans as well. Human bodies now started appearing on ground abandoned cars and even cactus.
Police were to come whenever a body of human were found and soon it became a problem. To were the police had to ask and now what these 2 were doing.
"Sir...ma'am I'm going have to ask, What is it that you all are doing here actually?" He said as the other officer was recording and taking notes for the chief. "Well we're here to research the subterranean grounds-"sorry what?" She said as the man interrupted her. "Underground studies we're here for underground studies for animals, sound and fossils." She said. "Okay then. Sir you sure about this?" The officer asked. "Yes sir." Tom answered. "So what's with the bodies being found and called in?" The officer asked. "We don't know how they got there maybe murder or suicide or something out here like a coyote or another animal killed them." "Well I can't do anything except charge you a 500 dollar fine ticket. May I mention that if you can find whoever or whatever you find that may have caused these deaths please let us now cause clearly those bodies we took in to the hospital have no injuries stating that they committed suicide." He said to them giving the ticket. "I really don't see how a suicide would leave someone to come out to the desert and chop off their leg, waist or just stay out here dehydrated." He said. "Wait a minute. Did you say dehydrated?" Thomas said. "Cut-off waists what?" Madison. "Yes. That's what I said." Said the officer. "Thomas. I think we might have found something big." Madison said. "HEY. WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Kayla shouted on a question. "Sorry about that she's our new hired assistant." Madison spoken. "Sir I think we need to show somethings that we saw earlier on previous expeditions." Thomas said. "Sorry but I must get back to work." The officer said. "Officer Hank...maybe he has a point. What if there's something out there that took people? Maybe you should trust them. I know I do." Said the investigator. "Okay but I'm giving you 2 one chance." Said Hank.
Scene 5: The Research Lab.
"Oh thank you've arrived. Thomas we need you to...-calm down what is it Harry?" Said Thomas.
"It's a fossil a big one A Skeleton!" Said another researcher Harry shouted.
"Look. See...it's like a worm you know, Because it's underground. Well remember those spikes you found earlier. It seems you just found a piece of the skeleton. Spikes to be exact shards of it actually. There's 3 frills having the spikes. Those skin plates you've found too. -Skin plates?" Thomas said interrupting Harry.
"Yes turns out they shed skin. You found pieces when just not far off a whole skin was there. It hardened as rock from being underground for a while. In just a decade it is already weakened then in a century it breaks down into small rocks. The full skeleton was scanned just not long ago from the team that separated with you to cover ground.
About 20 feet long the creature is at least 76 feet deep in the ground." Harry said. "Well uuh... I see we have a problem." Madison said. "I think I've seen enough here." The officer said. "Have a nice search and I'll be out my way." The officer spoke.
The officer walked out. "Aaaaaaggghh!!!" Pffwshh! Something came out of the ground. "What the f***!" "What's going on- gasp*!" "Oh my lord! Billy get everyone inside!" Thomas said to another researching scientist. "On I-aaaaaggghhhh*" Everyone panicked and the officer took out his pistols and took fire. Bang! Bang! The guns went. The animals screeched out and went back underground. "They're under the ground. Of course their underground. That's why I'm here." Thomas said. Everyone got on one of their cars and some went on the roof as they saw the ground wasn't safe.
The group of researchers and the Officer went up on the roof.
Minutes later the people were still up as the beasts were still lurking. "Okay it's clear that there's 2 here with us." Madison said. "We're do go from here? We can't move on ground because of these things." Billy said. "I don't know." Said Thomas. "Your saying there's more of those things and you don't know how do get past them?!" Said the officer. "We didn't think we'd discover these things!" Thomas said. The officer spoke again, "Well you better find a way to kill these things. Cause if you don't your life's on the line now." "Hey okay just calm down for a second let's just take a deep breath and relax." Tom said. "Relax. There's 2 30 foot worms on the ground trying to eat us." Hank said to Tom. "I remember just not far from here is a vehicle that can take us to a safer place. If one of us can just get to it we could drive here get everyone else, and head to a safer place.' Thomas said. "Look see just over there by that rock is the truck." Thomas said. "I'll go," Said Madison. "No I will." Tom said back. Madison put out her fist, unfolded it, and gave Tom a coin. "I choose heads." She said. "Tails." Thomas replied back. They flipped the coin and it landed on tails. "Great. I'll go." he said. "Wait. -What?" The officer said with Tom's replying question. Won't that thing just follow you. "You're right. We need a-" Tom spoke when he heard a honking sound from a distance. "Oh no. -what?- The truck, it's being pulled down." Tom said. "new plan. the group that me and Madison separated with had a chopper. We can call it in for help. Anyone have a walkie talkie or cell phone?" "We can't call in a desert. - Why?- The only phone we have is wired and earlier I tried calling out of here to the others. I got nothing back." Said a researcher. Bffghsh. One of the beasts is trying to bring down the building. "Anyone here have a Transceiver walkie talkie?" Tom asked. "Here's one" said another researcher.
The beasts are still their lurking like sharks waiting for them.
Scene 6: The name
"Hello. Hello. Is anyone there? Over." Madie said. "Yes. Yes, Were here. Is there a problem you sound like your in needs?" Someone said on the other end. Billy took the transceiver and spoke into it. "Yes yes we need help. Send down the Helicopter we found what caused the deaths of those bodies. The Dirt Devils are here but we won't last long these things are trying to tear the building down." "Okay the helicopter will be sent as quick as possible just stay put, over." Said the person.
"Dirt Devil?" " Sorry just came out." Said Billy. "No, No, I like it sounds perfect for the creatures" Tom said. "So what's the plan when we get back over to the fossil site?" Billy said. "Well first we need to be sure the Dirt Devils don't follow us. Then we prepare ourselves to either put the Dirt Devils in a coma, capture, and study it. If not kill it and the rest. Finally we can go out our lives like nothing ever happened." Tom said. "Capture. How it will take time and money to get the equipment to do that?" A researcher said. "Fine than. We will have to take them out. We'll miss our chance to know about the newly discovered desert species." Tom said.
Scene 7: Stopping the fight
"Better just be deserts." Hank said. "You know your starting to get on my nerves Hank. I could've left you on the ground." Tom said. "You know I would send you to jail right now just for being rude and getting me in this situation." Hank said back. "Well you know I hope these worms eat you before you do so." Tom said angrily. "Hank pulled out a gun quickly Tom punched Hank and grabbed the tazer on his waist. "You wouldn't have gotten into this if your weren't being so nosy." Tom said in an angry tone. "You're the one who found the bodies and will be added with them." Hank said. "WOAH! Hey calm down." Madie said coming into the 2 men's path.
Scene 8: Chopper to the rescue
"Hey Don't land they'll get you." One of the bystanders said. "Don't land. Over here." The pilot heard and followed what they said. The chopper flew above the Lab and sent a ladder down. The Dirt Devils broke 2 of the 4 base walls holding the structure. "Come on. Go! Go! Go! Go!" Billy said. The chopper had everyone and rose after the Dirt devils took down the other base walls. The building crumbled down. Billy fell but got a hold of the ladder. "Oh Shoot!" He said. Pull me Up!" He shouted. The helicopter rose higher and took off. Billy climbed the ladder. "Billy!" said a couple researchers looking down at him. The Dirt Devil followed and Came out of the ground only 3 feet in the air to eat up Billy. "Noooo!" One of the researchers said when he got eaten. "What?!" Tom and Madie said out loud. It ate Billy. It ate Bill. "No. No. He's one of the best researchers I had." He said a couple tears ran down his face.
Scene 9: The Crash
The chopper flew as the Dragons were still following. " How do they still know we're here?" A researcher said. "It follows sound." Madie said. "Makes sense when we're the only ones out here for miles." Tom said. "But in the air?" The researcher spoke back. She was curious. Soon a sleeping researcher fell out of the chopper releasing the ladder. "Uh oh." The researcher girl said again. "He fell out." She said. She pulled up the ladder. The Dirt Devil went down under and seemed to be gone. "It's gone. The worm just went down." She said. "I don't like that." Madie said. "Pull the ladder up Now!" said Tom realizing what's gonna happen. The Devil leaped 30 feet out the ground in the air. Showing it's eyes opened, its three rows of spikes, and its mouth open and closing grabbing the ladder. Giving a roar and snap with its mouth. "What In Tarnation!" The Helicopter is coming down hot. "Mayday Mayday, we're going down!" The pilot said. That's it Look a town we can make it there here take this parachute!" said Tom. "You really think on your feet don't you." Madie said. Some researchers fell out dying from the fall. The last 6 remaining got some of the parachute's and jumped out.
3 didn't make it to safety.
"Calm down Thomas, calm down. Just think of it like bungee jumping. Minus the jumping. You're okay." Thomas said to himself trying calm himself.
They have landed after the crash of the helicopter. Just then they ran and ran like hell.
They made it out of the chopper and to the town. They ran in suddenly a teen girl in front them just turned and stood a gun - a rifle - at the group. They walked not just into soft ground for the Dirt devils to go through but also the teen girl's home and battleground. They walked in what they don't know a ghost town.
Scene 9: Friend or Foe
The girl pointed a rifle at the researchers. "Hey girl, can you lower your gun? Please." Tom said. "First answer my question. Friend and savior or Foe and put me for bait. Answer or I shoot. Say foe and I shoot. - We get it. We're friends... all of us." Said the girl with Madie interrupting her.
The girl let the group in. "So where's your parents? Where's the other people? Are you the only one here?" A researcher said. "You ask too many questions." The girl said. "What's your name?" Tom said. "My name is Kayla. I live here. Before and during these creatures showed up." Kayla said. "What happened here?" Madison said to Kayla. They passed a couple houses as Kayla is walking to here safe zone in the town. "It was long ago. I was just seven when they appeared. I didn't know what to do. I just ran to the safest place I know. When I got up the roof... I couldn't dare look what was happening. The worms... they took everyone. Throughout the time I learned their ways. Afraid to come into contact I just collected weapons if I ever came into contact with one them. Guns, some bombs I even set some traps on surface in case I'd they came up top. Everyone was taken in time. They're were survivors with me. When they would go down for food and supplies some came back to die in seconds or to just not come back." She told what happened in town. "That's what happened." Said Kayla.
Kayla led them to her base. The center of the town. She took them to the store.
They all entered and saw the inside of the store. "Woah." A couple researchers went. They got settled in and finally were able to rest.
Scene 10: The plan
It's been hours. Darkness of the night came in. On the roof everyone was lying down sleeping. A Dirt Devil passed by. The only one awake was Kayla with Tom. "So, do you have a plan?" Kayla said. "You said you set traps right?" Tom spoke back. "Yes why?" She said. "My plan is we attach some of your bombs to your traps. When we do after we attract them. Try to get them to come out on surface and kill them. If you have enough bombs we could even manage to do something like fishing. Get them to swallow the thing. Blow them up from there." Tom said talking out the plan. " I like it." Kayla said to him.
"One of them pass by earlier." Kayla said. "Come on. There's something I want to show you." She said. "Aren't the Dirt devils going to follow us." Tom said. "No they mostly come out during the day. Only one comes out at night." Kayla mentioned. "Okay." Tom said.
They headed down the store grabbing flash lights.
Scene 11: Church
They walked out of the store and walked across the dirt road. "The church?" Said Tom. "That's one of the things." Kayla said. They walked in the church. "Come here praying to Jesus and God for a better day whenever things get crazy. Or I stay and sleep here as well. It's the second safest place to me." Kayla said. "I can tell. In times like this is a time you want to be next to god." Thomas said to her. "My names Thomas. I promise you I will get us out of this together with everyone else." Thomas said. "There's something else I want to show you." Kayla said.
She walked out the back exit. Next to a Boulder stuck in the ground was a hole big enough for a Dirt devil to pop out without touching the soil. "This the old mines. Like a well except wider where men go down to mine the gold." Kayla said. "I never seen it before until a couple weeks ago. "I found it by the last survivor being dragged. I tried to help him the beast just continued to drag him. It then killed itself with the person." Kayla said to Thomas.
Scene 12: The gold mines
"How do you get down?" Thomas asked Kayla. "By that elevator over there across from us." She said to him.
Kayla and Thomas walked across and went down. A couple minutes it took for them to teach the bottom. They touched it. The body of the Dirt Devil was right there in the middle of the hole. "Oh man that smell." Kayla said. "It stinks." Thomas said to her.
"Follow me I know something amazing you'd want to see." Kayla said. Thomas followed her into a very dark spherical room. A door was there and Kayla closed it. Pitch black it was Kayla spoke. "Turn off your flashlight." She said. Thomas followed her instructions. When did the gold glowed and more than gold was there diamond too. Glowing all around them the yellow and blue-ish purple. "Wow" Tom said looking all around him. Some diamonds were sticking out and gold were in the dirt of the mines. He looked back at Kayla and saw her smile. "This is amazing. You find this?" He said. Kayla responded back with a yeah. They soon headed back to base. Then Kayla got tired and fell asleep.
An hour in back from their travel she shivered from the cold. Thomas covered her with his lab coat. He stayed awake throughout the night. On the building he looked at the setting moon hearing the sounds of the waking Dirt Devils roaming.
"Tomorrow will be better." He said.
Scene 13: Preparation
Thomas told the plan to the 3 survivors, Hank, and Madison. "Here's what we're gonna do we are going to do. With the bombs from Kayla we will blow these Devils up to bits. By trap and by hand." "Now let's get to work." Thomas said. "We can use the mines as a trap too. Right?" Thomas said to Kayla. "Yes we could use it. Bring them over and they'll fall in." Kayla said. Kayla helped and guided everyone to each of the traps. She had a net trap covered in sand large enough to capture and kill now with the bomb inside.
Scene14: The showdown
With all the sound and the sun being out the Dirt Devils came out. One slowly came and Kayla noticed it. "No one move. There's one behind us." Kayla said to the others. Hank was still at the store or "The Base" as Kayla calls it. He ended up seeing one coming straight towards the base.
The Devils we're getting angry and charged with rage.
A hallowed screech came from one and another was showing itself moving like a leaping dolphin. "Thomas!" Hank shouted. "Their here all of them don't move!" He said out loud to everyone as mostly to Thomas. "Kayla you still have those bombs?" Thomas whispered to her. "Yes." She said. "Can I see one?" He said back. "She passed it to him. "So what are you going to use it for?" She said. "I'm going to use this bomb to get them away from us. When they leave we run like hell back to the store." He said to her and to his rest of researchers. He lit the fuse of the bomb stood up and threw it a far distance. Just a little out of the town the bomb hit the ground. The worms followed it. The one behind the researchers and Kayla already made it to the bomb and swallowed it. Kaboom! The bomb exploded and so did the worm.
"Run!" He shouted. Everyone followed him a Devil came and burst through the ground. It's 2 tongues stretched 2 feet out and got a researcher. "Paul No!" Said Thomas. He almost ran to him but it was too late. Kayla ran inside and grabbed a harpoon gun she collected from her years. She ran up the roof and Thomas just ran following with everyone else. Another dirt Devil blocked the path as everyone barely made it except Thomas. "Kayla drop me a bomb!" He said. She did and then took fire to a dirt Devil that leaped out at her. She went down and got a sharp 6 inch long blade knife. Sharp enough to cut through bone.
Thomas ran to the mines and stopped at the edge. "Woah." He said almost falling in. He turned and saw the devil coming towards him. "Holey moly" He said. It became very near and right at the edge he jumped and the Dirt Devil fell in. The dirt Devil made it to the other side when falling but stuck as it couldn't get further in. Thomas lit the fuse with a lighter he had from before. He let the bomb go falling in the mine. The bomb blew up killing the Dirt Devil and bringing down some rock. "Hole in one." Tom said.
Hank took out a bomb from Kayla's sack of bombs. He got down to the floor of the store. He opened the door and ran out. "Thomas! Throw me the lighter!" He sad out loud. Thomas did so and Hank caught it in his hands and ran again. The one of 3 last Dirt devils came toward a trap and got caught. It then blew up in the net. Hank ran and came to a stop. "It's been a good run." He said to himself. He lit the fuse and held the bomb. "Hank! Throw the bomb! Throw the bomb! Hank!" Thomas said. "Thomas! Tell the police department it was for the good!" Hank said. "Hank Nooo!" Thomas said running towards him. The dirt Devil at the last minute ate the Officer.
"No. I was just starting to like the guy." He said. The last dirt Devil from earlier. Like I said it popped out of the ground towards the harpoon gun and Kayla. "For my town and for my parents." She said. She shot the Dirt Devil. It was still alive swallowing her whole. "Nooo!" She said. She became engulfed. The dirt Devil did a flip in the air and went back into the ground. It travelled away.
Just with limited air she remembered the knife. She cut the damn thing and it came out of the ground to a stop. It screeched in pain. Cryeeths! It went and stopped with the sound. It died. All of the Dirt devils were killed.
Kayla made it out cutting her way through.
Scene 15: Loss to Revive
Everyone were worried about her and saw the worm out of the ground. They ran to it. When they reached it they saw a blade coming out.
Kayla came out of the Dirt Devil's body with everyone seeing her do so. "Here let me help you out." Madie said. "Tom can you come here and help me please?" Madison said. He got Kayla's hand with Madison and pulled her out and up.
"Never again do I ever want to get eaten by these stupid beasts." She said. With little breath. Her heart slowed down and she was breathing less and stopped. "Kayla. Kayla. Kayla wake up. Don't fool around come on. Kayla." Madison said starting to crying doing C.P.R. on her.
The rest of the separate researchers finally found Thomas, Madison and the only researcher left. "Out of the way Madie. Come on girl. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe." Tom said pushing on Kayla's chest. "Come on Kayla. Breathe!" He said going three more times. He hit harder and just on the last Kayla started breathing again. * Huge Gasp * She went. She gasped for life and fresh air. "Thomas." She said getting up to be giving him a hug. " I was scared. I almost died." She said crying. Madison came and hugged her too.
"Never scare us like that again." Madison and Thomas said at the same time.
Scene 14: Peace
Kayla became an adopted foster child. Thomas and Madison started to just move in with Kayla. They learned they couldn't keep it a secret. A funeral was made for Hank and the researchers that died. The town came back to a running start again.
Peace for once after the attack and inconvenient experience here. Yet still they stayed.
Somewhere in the desert:
Far from the town a more of a mine but still abandoned lied something.
Just in the darkness of it eyes glowed green. Something new. A beast just waiting to come out. A growl to a hiss. Eggs were hatched and there were 6. Three survived but this time a new look. Green eyes with a crocodile appearance. The tail all spiked. The frills just growing in 3 inches tall. The mouth not a normal look. Extending like a goblin shark's jaw.
All 3 crawled out and everyone unaware of the creatures roaming are now in danger.
The "Virasaur" or more of "Virasaur" when the creatures are multiplied have gone rogue in the desert waiting for a flesh frenzy.
"Subterranean"
