EXT. UNILAG - DAY
Outside the TOPE ODUGBEMI HALL, a young man of average build, watches on as a police van drives further away, DANKA.

A lady walks up behind DANKA, DIALLO

DIALLO
Danka

Danka turns around, he sees Diallo.

Diallo hands over a golden compass to Danka, he collects it. He looks at Diallo in a confused manner

DANKA
(confused)
I don't understand.
This is aralia's
compass

DIALLO
When the chaos started,
we got separated.
She must've dropped
it trying to escape.
But she was not in
the crowd. I looked
everywhere.

Danka stares down at the compass in his palm, he's very concerned

"WEEKS LATER..."

EXT. CALABAR - NIGHT
It's late at night. It's an aerial view of what seems to be a warehouse inside a large compound. Compound lights are on. A dark male silhouette figure quietly lands on the ware house roof.

A closer look at the male figure reveals an averagely built man, seen from behind, he dons leaves for a cape, a dark skin tight outfit, and a horned mask.

INT. CALABAR - NIGHT
inside the warehouse, from above, we see a young girl, tied to a chair. She's surrounded by a circle of two dozen men. All the men look identical in dark masked outfits, except two. The men in dark outfits are the Marabadua Assassins. The other two are; a man in a royal robe, KING UFOT, and a man wearing charms and holding a calabash, NEBULA

King Ufot steps into the circle, closer to the tied up girl, he grabs her by the cheeks. Now we get a closer look at her face, she's young, but not afraid, ARALIA

Aralia shakes her head free of king ufots grip

KING UFOT
Stubborn child. It
Took me this long
To get you

ARALIA
He'll come for you

KING UFOT
(Laughs)
You mean the
Masquerade?
Your guardian? He
can't save you
now. You're going
to die

King ufot turns to Nebula

KING UFOT
Nebula, prepare the
ritual.

NEBULA
Yes your highness

Nebula steps forward, still holding the calabash with both hands.

Purple colored smoke flows out of the calabash, the purple smoke floats towards aralia. Aralia is still seemingly unmoved.

The purple smoke etches closer to her

ARALIA
(Whispers)
Ojuju, any time
now...

The purple smoke floats towards Aralias nose, almost getting inside, aralia pushes backwards from it.
