Synopsis

Chapter 1 - A single twist of fate can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Opening scene: a shot of the infinitely vast universe with an uncountable number of galaxies slowly zooming in, getting closer to a specific galaxy (our galaxy). The zoom speed increases as it reaches our solar system.

*The screen fades to black.*

Scene: An alarm goes off on the black screen as a close-up of a boy's eyes opens from the sound of the alarm.

A woman (older than the boy) is yelling at the boy, trying to wake him up.

"VAE! That alarm has gone off ten times already. Wake up! You're going to be late for school," says the woman with a frustrated look on her face.

*Shot*: The boy gets up in his bed, looks around, and yawns. Followed by a montage of him getting ready, where he puts on a broken watch (focus shot) with upbeat music playing. Camera pans throughout his room where lots of video games along with movies/anime posters and disc's can be seen.

*Scene end*

Vae wears his shoes and opens his apartment's door ready to leave.

"I'm leaving," says the boy to the woman before closing the door.

"Alright" the women replies back to vae.

As he is walking to school, he spots a number of people going through their daily routine. People on bikes, people jogging in the parks, people walking their pets in the beautiful summer morning"

As vae continues walking a girl's voice calls out to him. "You're still wearing that broken watch, Vae?"

The camera pans back and up to a beautiful-looking girl smiling, standing behind Vae.

"What's wrong with wearing broken watches? Nowadays, they're just for looks, you know!" says Vae to the girl.

*Shot*: The mysterious girl and Vae start walking together.

"Didn't I tell you to come by the shop? My dad can replace the broken glass and battery and make it as it was," the girl replies to Vae.

"Nahhhh! It's fine; I don't need to get it fixed. I have my phone for the time!" says Vae.

"Wearing broken watches is a bad omen! Plus, I broke that watch, so let me fix it," replies the girl.

"June, forget about it. It's fine! Plus, i don't believe in omens" says Vae.

"You're so lazy," replies June.

"Im so not" insist Vae while chuckling.

*Shot*: As Vae and June are walking, Vae spots a poster on the wall saying "SPACE WON'T SAVE YOU" with a disturbing picture of a creature crawling out of a crashed UFO.

"Oh yeah, did you hear what they were saying on the news yesterday?" says June.

"Eh, no? I was busy playing video games; I don't have time for news. What were they saying?" asks Vae.

"They were saying a UFO crashed near the abandoned airport last week. People say they saw creatures crawling out" says June.

"People? what people?" -Asks Vae out of curiosity.

"Shadow people" replies June

"Shadow people???.. Reallly?" - Vae replies in a skeptical manner.

"YES! and they were able to lift their ships or ufo's and turn them to dust. Afterward, those people vanished into thin air!" says June.

"Yeah?? Into thin air," Vae replies to June in a mocking way.

"Bro, that's what the news said, but they didn't have any evidence to back it up, though, just witnesses," says June.

"Hah! What a bunch of baloney. Looney Tunes had better stories," says Vae.

"You should tell that to the news channels" - says June.

"Hah! Maybe i will.." - vae replies

*Shot*: Cuts to a rich, classy-looking school with a fountain outside, as kids walk in and out while some are playing different games football, basketball while others were just standing in groups"

Vae and June enter the classroom, where Vae looks at a group of big, bulky teenagers who are laughing.

scene: A  quick flashback plays reminding vae of previous events

one of the guys punches vae in the flashback and vae falls to the ground

the flashback ends and focus is brought back on vae standing.

A guy is standing near the entrance door to the classroom and calls out to vae with his arms crossed.

A male voice: "He took your money yesterday too, eh?"

Vae turns back as to see the individual.

"Yeah... and they'll pay for it someday," replies Vae.

"Bro, have you seen how big Caine is? You look like a kid in front of him; you can't do nothing to them, forget about it," laughs the boy.

"Morning, Con," June says to the boy (named Con).

"Morning, June."

"Have you completed those notes I asked about yesterday—" Con starts.

*Scene*: As Con is talking to June, the voices blur out in the background as chatter. Vae stares at the group of bullies. One of them makes eye contact; however, Vae turns away.

Cut to a shot with a bell ringing for a lunch break in school as the teacher is leaving.

Scene: Con, June, and a pair of teens, a girl and a boy, are talking while sitting close to each other on benches.

"No, they weren't animals! My dad says they were real people!" - Boy

"Bro, that place has been abandoned for decades. Of course, there are squatters laying around," Con adds.

"Yeah, or some thieves trying to take something of value," says Vae.

"Yeah? So the thieves just disappear into thin air?" - Boy

"I mean.. If they were made out if shadows.. they probably did Hahaha." says Con while Vae and June laugh along.

"My dad isn't lying! You trust me, right, Nera?"

"Yeah, sure! This is probably the 60th time you've asked me that," Nera (the unnamed girl sitting with the group) responds.

"Mark... chill... Your parents told you a story to keep you away from wandering off to that place or something," Con suggests.

"Bro, no, they didn't! My dad wouldn't lie! Plus..."

"Plus what?" Asks Vae.

"When they brought my dad back... he wasn't himself..." Mark (the unnamed boy)

"The fuck?" Vae mutters.

"Huh?" June asks.

"What do you mean?" Con inquires.

"He kept looking up... like... his face was frozen in a place... with his eyes wide open, and... he kept mumbling," Mark explains.

"Mumbling what?" Nera wonders.

"I don't know... random words of some unknown language I couldn't understand. I was horrified then; mom told me to go to my room... When I saw him the next morning, he was back to normal," Mark finishes.

*Shot*: Shows everyone's face with some serious looks, trying to comprehend what Mark just said.

"Well..." Vae starts.

After a few seconds of silence, June asks Vae, "Well, what?"

"Oh. I'm going to the bathroom," as Vae gets up, Nina hits his arm while Con and Mark laugh.

*Shot*: As Vae is walking to the bathroom, the group's conversation can be heard in the background.

"Oh, I've got an idea," Con says.

"Now, what's your great idea?" Asks Nina.

"Why don't we explore that abandoned place ourselves—"

Vae exits the room as the chatter cuts out.

*Scene End*

Scene: As Vae walks towards the bathroom, chatter can be heard getting louder as a group of boys talking and laughing.

As Vae turns a corner, he sees the group of boys who were talking; It was the group of bullies from morning.

Caine (the bully): "Sup, nerd... How's that jaw that I punched?"

Vae tries to ignore the bullies and starts walking towards the bathroom to avoid escalating the matter.

As Vae passes by the bullies, Caine grabs his shirt.

"Let me go, Caine. I don't want anything to do with you right now," says Vae.

"Aww, what, you gonna start crying?" Says Caine as he looks at Vae's watch.

"Ay, look, this nerd is still wearing that broken watch," says Caine as the group starts laughing.

Vae elbows Caine's chest and gets free from the grip.

Caine says to Vae in a threatening voice, "You wanna die here, dipshit?"

"We'll see who dies, you shit," says Vae as he charges towards Caine in a trying to land a professional punch.

*Scene*: As Vae punches, the shot cuts to him sitting in the medical room with a bandage near his eye and nose, while his face is red. The group of friends is standing with him while June wraps Vae's hand.

"So, they took your money as well?" Mark says to Vae.

"I told you to stay away from those guys," Con adds.

"They're the ones who started it, not me!" says Vae to both of them.

"Seriously, you should just tell the principal at this point," Nera suggests.

"No, don't!" Vae replies.

"Why not?" Nera asks.

"I'll handle them myself! Just watch, I'm gonna beat him to a pulp someday," says Vae.

"Hah! Yeah, right," says Con as Mark laughs.

*Scene ends*

Scene: Vae and June are walking home together.

"How much money did they take anyway?" - asks June

"Oh.. Yeah not much.. All i had was 10$" -answers vae

"You know, i'm gonna make him pay it back. I really want to.. but. Im not strong enough" Vae adds in a disappointing tone.

"Well, you can't fight violence with violence." - replies june.

"Oh well this is my turn" says june as she sprints into a different direction.

Scene: June waves bye to him and says, "See you at night then."

"At night? What?" says Vae to June; however, she cannot hear him as she is already far away.

Vae ignores this weird interaction as he walks towards his home.

*Scene ends*

Scene: Vae arrives at his apartment building. As he is going up the stairs he spots his elder neighbour sitting in her balcony

"Good afternoon" says vae

The elder women acknowledge Vae's greeting by turning her head slightly However. she doesn't respond.

Scene: Vae enters his apartment, and the woman from the beginning sees Vae.

"What the hell is that? Why do you have bandages on your face? Did you pick a fight again in school?" - Woman

"Oh, come on, Miss Chloe. You know I don't pick fights," replies Vae.

"It's the second time you've come home like this? Just what the hell goes on in your school? I'm going to have to come and ask myself, won't I?" - says Chloe (the guardian's name).

*Shot*: Vae walks into his room, trying to avoid talking to the woman.

"No, it's nothing. I don't want to talk about it. Forget it," Vae says.

As Vae closes the door to his room.

"Fine then. I don't care either way," Chloe says under her breath, as she walks away.

The screen fades to black.

*Scene ends*

*Shot*: Shows the city view of houses from the sky at night.

The camera closes in onto Vae's house and pans to the window as the audio from his TV is getting louder as he is playing a video game.

The door opens as Chloe walks into the room.

"Here's the pizza. That's your dinner. Eat it before you sleep," Chloe says to Vae.

"Sure. Thanks, Chloe," says Vae to Chloe.

Chloe turns back and exits the room.

"Good night," says Vae to Chloe.

"Night," replies Chloe from the outside.

Scene: After some time Vae turns off the TV and is scrolling on his phone while he eats his pizza.

Camera focuses on the time on the screen; it shows 11:23.

Vae gets a message from June.

"We're outside, waiting on you?" - June

"You're where?" - Vae replies as confusion can be seen on his face.

"What do you mean? Outside? Your house!" - says June

Vae gets up from his bed and looks outside a window, spotting the group of four people. It's his friend group from the class.

"Come down already!" June texts Vae as she signals him to come down.

Vae wears his shoes as he proceeds to go downstairs. However, he stops and puts his pillows under a blanket as to create an illusion of him asleep under the sheets.

Vae slowly opens the doors and proceeds to tip toes his way outside.

*Scene*: Vae gets down to his friend group and says, "Umm... what the actual fuck are you guys doing outside my house at this hour?"

"Uh, we're going to explore. Duh," says Con.

"Explore what?" asks Vae.

"The abandoned airstrip thing, like we planned?" says Nera to Vae.

"Planned? 'We'? Uh, okay. When did we uhh 'plan' this thing?" Vae asks Nera in a sarcastic, confused voice.

"This afternoon? When I was telling you the story about my dad?"-says mark

Con jumped up and said, 'Why don't we explore that abandoned pla—oh.'"

You... left for the bathroom when that conversation happened," says Mark.

"Yeaaaah? And you couldn't tell me that afterward?" says Vae.

"Dude, we forgot, trying to patch you up," says Nera.

"So, are we going? I really wanna go on this adventure. Can we get going already?" says June in an excited voice as she starts walking, looking backwards.

"Forget what happened. You coming or not?" asks Con.

"Well... I'm already outside the house, aren't I?" Vae replies as he starts following the group.

*Scene ends*

Scene: The group can be seen walking through way with a few lights the area is quite and surrounded by few trees with houses and grass.

crickets can be heard singing in the background.

As the group is walking, Con hands everyone flashlights.

"You came prepared, huh?" Vae says to Con.

"What?... You were planning on exploring an abandoned place with moonlight?" Con replies.

"Oh right, it's abandoned, so it wouldn't have any electricity. Hahaha, make sense!" Vae says while laughing.

"Shhhh, it's almost midnight; people are asleep. You shouldn't make loud noises," Nina says to Vae.

"Oh yeah... sorry..." Vae replies.

"Mark... Are you sure you want to go there? I mean, after what your dad told you, I thought at least you'd be the one who'd avoid that place!" Vae questions Mark.

"I know. And you're right, what Dad told me scared me, but... My dad is a brave man, and I've never seen him like that ever in my life. So, I want to see what he saw that made him like that myself!" Mark replies.

"I see," Vae says quietly.

"Vae," June calls out.

"Yeah?" Vae answers.

"How's the nose?" June questions Vae.

"Oh!... Yeah, it was hurting when I got home, but... it's a bit better now," says Vae.

"Hey, if Caine tries to punch you next time... you should kick him in the balls. HAHAHAH, MAKE HIM FEEL THE REAL PAIN HAHAHAA," says Con.

"You know what... maybe I will," replies Vae laughing softly.

"Scene: After walking for a while, the group arrives near a steel fence."

Camera pans to a sign that says "KEEP OUT" and "DO NOT ENTER." as abandoned buildings and towers can be seen behind the fences.

"OH COME ON, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET THROUGH THE FENCE NOW?"  June says in an annoyed tone.

"I mean... we can almost go back to my place? I GOT PIZZA THAT I HAVEN'T EATEN!!" says Vae.

"No... I knew this would happen," says Con as he pulls out a wire cutter from his bag.

"Dude... you really came prepared, huh?" Mark says to Con.

"Well, it's basic knowledge. You're going to an 'abandoned airport,' of course, they wouldn't let you in," Con replies.

Scene: The group walks closer to the center of the airport.

"Hey, look... is that," June starts.

"Yeah... it is," Mark confirms.

"An abandoned, rusted plane? What's so cool about that?" says Con.

"That plane is probably older than you, Con," says Vae.

As the group walks closer to the abandoned plane, they hear noise from the surrounding bushes.

Everyone tenses up as the noise, which seems to be footsteps, gets closer and closer.

"WHO'S THERE?" Mark yells as he points his flashlight at the bush.

As the footsteps get closer, everyone fixes their eyes on the bush.

A rabbit emerges from the bush.

"Ohhhh... it's just a rabbit," says June.

"OH MY GOD, MY HEART ALMOST CAME OUT," says Mark.

"You guys are scared of rabbits? Hahahahaha," says Con while laughing.

"Don't act like you weren't hiding behind Vae," says Nera.

"I WASN'T," replies Con (loudly).

"Stop the cap," says Vae.

Scene: As the group reaches the abandoned airplane, they go in one by one to check it out from the inside.

"Yo, look, this TV screen is still in the seat," says Con.

"Don't try to take it home now," says June to Con.

Scene: Camera following a fast-paced object from the sky falling towards the Earth's surface.

Vae and Con sit in the pilot and co-pilot seats. Unbeknownst to the danger heading their way.

con out or curiosity starts pressing buttons in the cockpit.

"Stop pressing random buttons; you don't even know what they do," Vae says to Con, trying to get him to stop pressing buttons.

"Nah, don't worry. This thing has been here for ages; there's no way it has any working components," replies Con.

Shot: A fast-traveling object with multiple lights now in view keeps falling and getting closer to Earth near a specific place. (the airstrip)

"You good, Mark? You look quite scared," June asks Mark as Nera listens.

"Ye- yeah, I'm fine... but.. this... this doesn't feel right," Mark replies.

"What doesn't?" asks Nera.

"It's way too quiet... I mean... we can't even hear the crickets anymore..." says Mark.

Shot: The object gets even closer to the surface, almost about to crash on the abandoned airstrip.

"No, seriously, STOP PRESSING BUTTONS," Vae says to Con.

As Con stops pressing the buttons, Vae spots a mysterious light in the sky heading towards the airstrip.

"Uhhh, what's that... WHAT'S THAT," Vae says loudly.

The aircraft lights suddenly turn on, along with all the airport lights.

"What?" June responds to the lights turning on.

Scene: various sounds can be heard as all of lights flicker at full brightness surpassing their luminosity levels as they shatter the glass.

all the lights turn off.

"GUYS," Con yells, calling out to everyone.

THE MYSTERIOUS OBJECT HAS GOTTEN SO CLOSE THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE ITS GLOW.

"WHAT IS THAT," MARK SCREAMS IN A SCARED VOICE.

"GET OUT OF THIS AIRCRAFT," Vae yells ordering everyone to leave the aircraft.

JUST AS EVERYONE EXITS THE RUSTED AIRCRAFT, the object crashes onto the aircraft, resulting in a big explosion that throws all the group far away.

Everyone has been knocked unconscious. However, Vae gets up and looks back at the crash site.

He spots a black mass, (human shaped) many times his size, crawling out of the aircraft towards him.

Vae is scared as he crawls and tries to get away from the mass.

"No... no. help... GET AWAY... GET AWAYYY FROM ME," Vae cries and yells as the mass gets close to him.

Vae looks around and grabs a stone in an desperate attempt to defend himself.

He throws the stone at the mass however, the stone is repelled away by an unseen force.

"WHAT THE F-" vae says as he sees the stone get tossed away from the shadow.

The mass pulls Vae from his legs and proceeds to cover his body.

"NO NO GET AWAY... HELP.. HELPP!.. SOMEBODY!!!!," Vae screams in agony as the mass enters his mouth.

Vae tries to resist; however, the shadow overpowers him and consumes him.

Shot: Perspective of Vae's eyes as the black mass consumes him completely, and he can do nothing.

The screen goes black as the sound of Vae's voice screaming fades out.
