Chapter 1 - Anahi - Emperor’s Pawn

 ZEN CITY- 17TH DISTRICT - NIGHT

 Tall glass buildings, neon lights, big screens are

 everywhere. Two people sit in a big truck and they prepare

 their equipment. RUFUS, a European bulky guy around 35yrs

 old, double checks who they are going to kill for this job.

 Rufus's watch displays a 3D hologram of a gang leader who is

 known as the Emperor. ANAHI, around 24yrs old, seems calm and

 ready to penetrate the security and take down the Emperor.

 RUFUS

 (with a deep Russian

 accent)

 Anyway, what is this Vani guy's deal

 with the Emperor? No one heard this

 Vani or seen the guy. I prefer to

 know for who I am killing the

 Emperor.

 Anahi stays quiet.

 RUFUS (CONT'D)

 Are you always this quiet? How do I

 know that you will cover my back

 just in case we have to improvise?

 ANAHI

 Don't worry.

 Just follow the plan Vani provided,

 and we will be fine.

 RUFUS

 The plan? No No No. I have my own

 way of doing the job.

 Anahi picks up her knife and starts walking toward the big

 glass tower. They approach the back of the building and start

 climbing on it. They use magnetized boots and gloves to stick

 on the building. While they are climbing, Rufus uses a spy

 drone to scan the 14th floor completely. The scanning drone

 comes back to Rufus and it displays the whole map of the room

 in a hologram. Six armed droids are walking around in the

 room.

 14TH FLOOR - NIGHT

 They reach the 14th floor. Rufus twists his index finger like

 a loose bolt, and start cutting the glass wall with his

 finger that has a hidden blade in it. He carefully finish

 cutting a window and they enter the building without alerting

 the security, but the security system detects them right

 away. The room has the size of two floors and has a few

 stairs leading to the big fancy door on the 15th floor. There

 are mostly pool tables, sofas, tables designed for a party

 room. Droids immediately shoot with their gun toward two

 bounty hunters, so they rush to hide behind the sofas next to

 them. Droids aimlessly shoot to sofas in the corner of the

 room. Windows shatter everywhere, and feathers float in the

 air.

 Rufus starts shooting against the droids to provide a space

 for Anahi to run around. Anahi starts running and throws an

 EMP grenade from her pocket to disable the droids. Rufus hits

 one droid in the head at the same time Anahi disables two

 droids with the electromagnetic pulse grenade. The other

 three droids recognize Anahi, so they start shooting at

 Anahi. One of them prepares for hand combat by revealing its

 taser blade from its arm. Thus, Anahi runs toward the

 remaining droids and slides under the table in front of her

 while she sticks a device and pulls a string from it. Then,

 she attaches the end of the string to one of the droids.

 Immediately, the device pulls the table toward the droids and

 hits it. Rufus comes to them and shoots down another droid.

 The only remaining droid charges toward Anahi. She brings out

 a knife and tries to block the attack, but she missteps and

 falls on the floor. A droid swings over her, but Rufus blocks

 the attack with his right metal arm and zaps the droid with

 his taser gun. An electrified droid falls on the floor.

 RUFUS

 (with a Russian accent)

 Following the plan. Eh?

 Anahi stands up and picks her knife.

 ANAHI

 (in frustrated voice)

 Exactly.

 They start walking to the big fancy door on the top floor.

 RUFUS

 (with a Russian accent)

 So little defense for a very

 important guy. I could have done it

 alone.

 They reach the door and open it.

INSIDE EMPEROR'S ROOM - NIGHT

 Anahi first enters the room and Rufus follows her. There is a

big table at the end of the room. Big windows and paintings

are surrounding the wall. The Emperor stands near his big

table and welcomes them while he smokes.

 EMPEROR

 (confident)

 Ah, here they are. the great

 assassins sent by Vani are here to

 kill me.

Anahi walks toward the Emperor.

 ANAHI

 Any last words for Vani?

 EMPEROR

 Of course, you small-time bounty

 hunter really think you can come in

 here and kill me? You are here

 because I decided so.

Rufus slowly puts his gun against Anahi's head from behind.

 RUFUS

 (in a Russian accent)

 No hard feelings partner. It is just

 a business.

The Emperor walks around in his room.

 EMPEROR

 I am The Emperor. I decide who lives

 and who dies in this fucking City.

 If Vani thinks he can stop my

 operation by sending a woman to kill

 me, I am deeply disappointed in him.

The Emperor takes a sip from his whiskey and makes eye

contact with Rufus.

 RUFUS

 Any last words?

 ANAHI

 You should have read the plan,

 Rufus.

Suddenly, a sniper bullet flies through the window and hits

Rufus in the head. All according to the plan.

Anahi walks closer to the Emperor. The Emperor starts

panicking and picks up his gun aiming toward Anahi.

 EMPEROR

 Do you think you are better than us?

 You are just a pawn to him in this

 game. He will kill you just like

 him.

Anahi comes even closer.

 ANAHI

 Who said Vani is a he?

As Emperor's eye realizes that Anahi was Vani all along. The

Emperor's right-hand shakes as he tries to shoot Vani.

Bang!

 CUT TO BLACK

Vani walks out of the room as blood drips on the floor.
