EXT. INDIAN OCEAN - MID-MORNING
The freighter sails through increasingly rough waters, dark clouds swirling above as a storm brews on the horizon. Despite the growing turbulence, the crew's focus is split between the brewing storm and the radar blip that's been following them for hours.
On the deck, KABIR, a mid-ranking member of "The Demons," stands calmly, his sharp eyes scanning the horizon. His unassuming attire is contrasted by the badge pinned to his chest, marked with a green stripe that denotes his rank within the feared underworld organization. His demeanor is one of quiet authority, exuding the confidence of someone who knows his place in a world where power is everything.
INT. BRIDGE - MID-MORNING
Inside the bridge, CAPTAIN JONES is tense, his eyes glued to the radar screen. The blip is closer now, an ominous sign that trouble is on the way. He knows Kabir's reputation and the kind of organization he represents—The Demons, the most powerful underworld syndicate in existence.
Radar Operator visibly nervous "Captain, it's still gaining on us. Should we go dark?"
Captain Jones glances at Kabir, who has entered the bridge silently. Kabir's presence is commanding, his green-striped badge visible as he steps forward. The Captain knows better than to make decisions without consulting Kabir first.
"Go dark. We're not here to be seen."kabir calmly reply's
The crew quickly responds, shutting down all external lights and powering down non-essential systems. The ship fades into the darkness, almost invisible against the stormy backdrop.
INT. SHIP'S CARGO HOLD - MID-MORNING
Below deck, SIMON, a newcomer to The Demons and not yet in possession of a badge, paces nervously near the hidden compartment where the gold is stashed. The dim emergency lighting flickers, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Simon's anxiety is palpable; this operation is far more dangerous than he had imagined.
The ENGINEER, a lower-ranking member of The Demons with a purple-striped badge, enters the hold. Despite his rank, the Engineer moves with calm confidence, accustomed to the perilous missions that come with being part of The Demons. He begins checking the systems with quick, practiced movements.
SIMON Anxiously"Do you think they know we're here?"
The Engineer doesn't immediately answer, focused on his task. When he finally speaks, his voice is calm but matter-of-fact.
"Even If they do, it won't change a thing."
Simon swallows hard, not believing the engineers words

The storm crashes down on the ship, with torrential rain and howling winds battering the freighter. The crew struggles to keep the vessel steady, but their attention is divided. Kabir stands firm at the bow, his green-striped badge gleaming faintly in the storm's fury. Suddenly, through the driving rain, Kabir spots a dark shape emerging—a small, fast-moving boat heading directly for them.
KABIR Shout's"Pirates! All hands, prepare to repel boarders!"
The alarm sounds, and the crew springs into action. Each member wears a badge marked with their rank, the stripes reflecting their place within The Demons. Simon, caught up in the chaos, hesitates before grabbing a weapon and rushing up to the deck.
SIMON starts toPanic"Pirates? Now?"
Kabir turns to him, his gaze sharp and unforgiving, the green stripe on his badge catching the light from a distant flash of lightning. as the tunder reach kabir roared
"Get below deck. You're not ready for this."
Simon doesn't argue. He knows he's out of his depth and quickly retreats, leaving the fight to the more seasoned members of The Demons.

The pirate boat closes in, its crew ready for a fight. They're clearly unaware of whom they're dealing with. The crew of the freighter, now fully alert and armed, prepares to defend their vessel and its precious cargo. Despite the raging storm, they move with deadly precision.
Kabir leads the defense, his movements precise and calculated. The pirates throw grappling hooks onto the ship, attempting to board, but The Demons are prepared. The clash is brutal, with gunfire and the sound of steel cutting through the storm.
Simon from below deck, his heart pounding. The sounds of battle above terrify him, and he realizes just how unprepared he is for the world he has entered.
SIMON thought's to himself"I wasn't ready for this… I thought I could handle it, but now… now I'm not so sure. These guys demons or whatever they are completely nuts ."
On deck, Kabir fights with unmatched skill, taking down pirates with swift, efficient movements. His green-striped badge reflects his authority and prowess, marking him as a force to be reckoned with. The pirates quickly realize they've made a grave mistake, but it's too late. The Demons overpower them, pushing the remaining attackers back into the sea.
Captain Jones, observing the chaos from the bridge, orders the ship's engines to full power. The freighter lurches forward, cutting through the storm with renewed speed. The sudden acceleration catches the pirates off guard, giving The Demons the upper hand.

Kabir lowers his weapon, the green stripe on his badge gleaming in the rain as he surveys the aftermath. The ship is battered, and a few crew members are injured, but they've successfully defended their cargo.
"Check the cargo. Make sure everything is intact."Kabir orders the crew
The crew, still on high alert, nods and moves quickly to inspect the hidden compartment. Simon, shaken but unharmed, emerges from below deck. He watches the others, a mix of fear and admiration in his eyes.
