CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
INT. HARDWARE BUILDING - NIGHT
SHADE DODGES MULTIPLE REIBAR POLES THAT ARE THROWN AT HIM, SHOOTS SAND CLOTS AT VECTORS IN RETALIATION, AND VECTORS BLOCKS WITH ONE OF HIS VECTOR ARMS.
[Vectors]
On the defense I see.
[Shade]
Considering the circumstances, I thought it better to get a few words out of you before I drag you back to jail.
[Vectors]
There is nothing for us to talk about!
VECTORS MANAGES TO GRAB ONE OF SHADE'S LEGS, FLINGS SHADE INTO THE SIDE OF A WATER DRUM, AND SHADE SINKS ONTO THE WATER DRUM TO AVOID ANOTHER ATTACK. SHADE SCALES TO THE TOP OF THE WATER DRUM AND WATCHES AS VECTORS USES HIS VECTOR ARMS TO ELEVATE HIMSELF TO THE SAME POINT.
[Shade]
You really don't think so? After everything you've gone through to try and make all of this work—!
[Vectors]
Do not attempt to discredit me. My plans have worked far better than I could have ever imagined. Had you been more competent you could have developed a countermeasure to stop me.
[Shade]
Sam old, same old. If you would stop being so smug for a second, you'd realize one of the biggest holes in your plan.
[Vectors]
There are flaws in my plan!
VECTORS ATTEMPTS TO GRAB SHADE WITH ONE OF HIS VECTOR ARMS. SHADE VAULTS OVER THE VECTOR ARM THAT ATTEMPTS TO GRAB HIM AND PUNCHES VECTORS IN THE FACE. SHADE VAULTS AND SINKS ONTO MACHINERY AROUND HIM AVOIDING ATTACKS FROM VECTORS BEFORE GETTING SWATTED ACROSS THE FLOOR.
[Vectors]
You're not going to tire me out! Quit running and fight!
VECTORS THROWS A FORKLIFT AT SHADE, SHADE SINKS ONTO THE GROUND TO AVOID THE FORKLIFT, AND OPENS A PORTAL UNDER THE FORKLIFT AS IT TUMBLES ACROSS THE GROUND A COUPLE OF TIMES. SHADE RUNS, SLIDES ACROSS THE GROUND, FALLS INTO THE PORTAL, REOPENS THE PORTAL IN THE AIR, AND RIPS OFF THE FORK FROM THE FORKLIFT.
[Shade]
You don't wanna talk? Well, that's too bad!
SHADE DODGES, VAULTS, AND BLOCKS VECTORS ATTEMPTS AT ATTACKING HIM. SHADE THEN SWOOPS DOWN AND USES THE FORK TO PIN VECTORS AGAINST A WALL.
[Shade]
Think about all the people in the crossfire. How many people are you willing to sacrifice?
[Vectors]
People are sacrificed by our system all the time. It makes little difference if actual change endures.
[Shade]
What about Kelford Prickett?
[Vectors]
I am aware of his story and it doesn't engender your point. If Prickett was indeed attacked by the owner of the car I had ordered stolen after he attempted to involve the police, he defended himself and was subsequently to be charged with a crime the issue is with the system that exists now!
[Shade]
And it wouldn't have happened without you!
[Vectors]
Really? Are there no laws that exist right now to persecute victims of a crime should they choose not to be victims?
[Shade]
