CUT TO: DOWNTOWN
EXT. ROOFTOPS- NIGHT
SHADE TRAVERSES ACROSS THE ROOFTOPS DOWNTOWN WHILE DR. SALZBRINER CHASES AFTER HIM.
[Dr. Salzbriner]
I can't believe that I have you on the run Shade! It won't stop what's coming though! There's nowhere you can hide from me!
[Shade]
(Thinking)
I'm in no condition to fight but I can't run either. Salzbriner sought me out and he's so desperate who knows what he might do to get my attention.
DR. SALZBRINER JUMPS OVER SHADE AND LANDS IN FRONT OF HIM. DR. SALZBRINER LUNGES AT SHADE ATTEMPTING TO CUT HIM WITH HIS BUZZSAW. SHADE DODGES AND DOES A BACKFLIP KICKING DR. SALZBRINDER IN THE STOMACH. DR. SALZBRINDER FLIPS ONCE AND LANDS FACEFIRST ON THE ROOF. SHADE SWAYS AS THE FLIP CAUSES HIM A VERTIGO FIT. DR. SALZBRINER IMMEDIATELY GETS TO HIS FEET, RUSHES AT SHADE, AND PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE. SHADE FLIES BACK THROUGH THE AIR AND FALLS DOWN THROUGH THE ALLEY BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS. SHADE CREATES A TOMAHAWK AND USES IT TO SLOW HIS DESCENT. SHADE LOOKS UP AS DR. SALZBRINER JUMPS OFF THE BUILDING CONTINUING HIS PURSUIT. SHADE SINKS ONTO THE BUILDING EVADING DR. SALZBRINER THEN RESURFACES QUICKLY ENOUGH TO GRAB DR. SALZBRINER BY THE ANKLE. SHADE THEN SWINGS DR. SALZBRINER UP AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
[Shade]
You're wasting my time Salzbriner!
SHADE PULLS DR. SALZBRINER TOWARD HIMSELF, PUNCHES HIM AND DR. SALZBRINER TUMBLES ACROSS THE BUILDING UNTIL HE CATCHES HIMSELF ON A WINDOW LEDGE. SHADE SHOOTS DR. SALZBRINER WITH A COUPLE OF SAND CLOTS, DR. SALZBRINER LOSES HIS GRIP AND SHADE JUMPS TO WHERE HE IS PUNCHING DR. SALZBRINER IN THE CHEST. DR. SALZBRINER FALLS INTO A DUMPSTER AND USES HIS BUZZSAW TO CLEAVE THE DUMPSTER IN TWO.
[Dr. Salzbriner]
You don't know the idea of wasted time! By now, Dominique could be anywhere and she'll have her guard up! I'll never have the chance I had ever again. And it's all your fault!
[Shade]
You can't just murder people because you feel like it!
[Dr. Salzbriner]
But I can't have justice either, can I? She's gone Shade! The only thing I had left in this world was taken from me on a whim. Callously abused and unremembered because it made people feel better!
DR. SALZBRINER BEGINS TO CHASE SHADE AGAIN.
[Dr. Salzbriner]
Do you know what that boy told me when I tortured him? He told me that he didn't even have a reason, he was acting on some sort of juvenile impulse. That everyone else put up with his childish antics but her and he just wanted to be seen. There's no justice but murder for a bastard like that!
DR. SALZBRINER NEARLY CATCHES SHADE BUT SHADE CREATES A SHADOW CLONE THAT TOSSES HIM BACK THROUGH THE AIR. DR. SALZBRINER CUT THE SHADOW CLONE WITH HIS BUZZSAW DESTROYING IT AND SHADE CREATES A CHAIN. SHADE SNAGS DR. SALZBRINER'S ARM, SWINGS HIM AROUND, AND THROWS HIM INTO AN ABANDONED BUILDING. SHADE LANDS ON THE BUILDING AND LOOKS THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE ROOF.
[Shade]
(Thinking)
Even for someone with a shot nervous system, he had to have felt that.
SHADE LOOKS AT HIS PHONE FOR THE TIME AND SEES THAT IT'S 1:00 A.M.
