CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

EXT. DOWNTOWN - NIGHT

THE BOUNTY HUNTER SQUATS ON THE SIDE OF A BUILDING LOOKING THROUGH A PAIR OF BINOCULARS THAT ARE SPECIALIZED TO DETECT CERTAIN TYPES OF MATERIALS OR ENERGIES AND SUDDENLY SPOTS A FAIRY DUST TRAIL.

[Bounty Hunter]

Bingo.

THE BOUNTY HUNTER BEGINS TO PURSUE THE FIGURE LEAVING BEHIND THE TRAIL. SHOOTING AN ENERGY NET AT THE FIGURE THE BOUNTY HUNTER IS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT IT IS A FALCON WITH THE POUCH ATTACHED TO ITS LEG WHICH WAS TRAILING THE PIXIE DUST. SHADE ARRIVES ON THE ROOFTOP BEHIND THE BOUNTY HUNTER AND TACKLES HIM INTO THE SIDE OF AN AIR CONDITIONER.

[Bounty Hunter]

Oh, you sly fox.

[Shade]

You ready to talk now?

[Bounty Hunter]

I don't get paid to talk.

THE BOUNTY HUNTER SHOCKS SHADE WITH A TASER AND PUNCHES HIM TO THE GROUND.

[Bounty Hunter]

Where's the girl?

[Shade]

Somewhere you won't find her.

THE BOUNTY HUNTER TRIES TO STAB SHADE WITH AN ENERGY SWORD BUT SHADE SINKS ONTO THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING HE'S ON EVADING THE ATTACK. SHADE SCALES THE ROOF BACK A COUPLE OF FEET AND RAPIDLY SHOOTS SAND CLOTS AT THE BOUNTY HUNTER WHO SHIELDS HIMSELF OR USES THE SWORD TO BLOCK THE ATTACKS. THE BOUNTY HUNTER RUNS AT SHADE, SLIDES, AND ATTEMPTS TO ATTACK HIS LEG WITH HIS SWORD. SHADE JUMPS TO EVADE THE ATTACK AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER THROWS A BOLAS AT HIM. SHADE IS ENSNARED IN THE BOLAS AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER CHUCKLES TO HIMSELF AS SHADE ATTEMPTS TO FREE HIMSELF.

[Bounty Hunter]

Where's the girl? You're making me look bad.

[Shade]

You don't need any help from me, buddy.

SHADE BREAKS FREE OF THE BOLAS AND FLASH STEPS TOWARD THE BOUNTY HUNTER. SHADE FEINTS SHOOTING A SAND CLOT AT THE BOUNTY HUNTER CAUSING HIM TO JUMP INTO THE AIR ATTEMPTING TO AVOID IT. SHADE AT THE LAST SECOND, TRANSFORMS THE SAND CLOT INTO A CHAIN, WRAPS THE BOUNTY HUNTER IN IT WHILE HE'S STILL IN THE AIR, AND PULLS HIM TO THE GROUND. SHADE THEN SECURES THE BOUNTY HUNTER'S ARMS AND LEGS TO MAKE SURE HE'S SECURE. SHADE THEN PROPS THE BOUNTY HUNTER AGAINST A WALL.

[Shade]

Tell me what you want with the girl.

[Bounty Hunter]

Didn't I tell you that I don't get paid to talk?

[Shade]

You've got something better to do?

[Bounty Hunter]

Did you even stop to consider what the hell all these creatures are doing in our world?

[Shade]

Don't give me the speech.

[Bounty Hunter]

Well, it's important. You might want to listen up.

SHADE RELENTS AND SITS ON SOME STEPS NEAR THE BOUNTY HUNTER.

[Shade]

Fine, I guess it's story time.

[Bounty Hunter]

Did you know that pixies are mischievous by nature? They do what they want for the hell of it. So it's more than likely that my benefactor has a private score to settle. However, in this case, things could be different.
