Ziro and Jamal staring at the glowing TV screen in a dark room.
TV SCREEN TEXT (bold, bloody, eerie font)
"WELCOME, SURVIVORS."
"Welcome to Planet Blue Star."
[Mail box]
> Ziro (confused): "What's that mean? A new TV show...?"
Jamal: "Ziro, I don't think so. Network's been dead all night. This... this just appeared."
Both glance at each other, nervous. TV flickers off.
> Ziro: "Survivors? What does that mean? Should we check outside? If we stay still like this nothing gonna work anyway.....
> Jamal: (hesitantly) "Y-Yeah... maybe everyone's facing the same thing."let's just check it out but if something goes wrong we will run back in. I'm not risking my good old virgin body like this....
---
Scene: Front door creaks open. Streets are dead silent. No lights. No movement.
Fog. Streetlights off. Crows sitting silently.
> "The world outside… felt like a graveyard."
---
Jamal grips Ziro's sleeve.
> Jamal: "Let's go back inside… This doesn't feel right. It's really cold outside it's like this town has fallen in to a ice age. There must be ghost lurking around ziro let's just go inside and have a cup of tea everything will be solved la 🎶la🎶...my tea warm tea🎶 ..hey can you please let my hand go ziro I really need to pee I promise I will come back after peeing....
Ziro: "No, please jamal.stop with the excuses .We need to find my parents. Let's try the neighborhood Khaled's house."
jamal sigh! Ok fine...
---
Door of neighbor's house slowly pushed open. Empty living room. It's just like Jamal said this isn't normal why I'm feeling like everyone just vanished and every corner seems like some soul is lurking around....
> Ziro: "Mr. and Mrs. Khaled? anyone home ? Knock! knock!..can anyone hear me ?? It's an emergency!"
Jamal: "I have a bad feeling about this…let's go back and have some tea... won't you agree ziro i think they went out maybe we should come back later ..hahaha"
---
suddenly
A Sound of something falling in the kitchen.
CLANG!
> "You heard that?! Let's check it out !"
jamal "ohh god".please save me I'm your devoted servant....
---
Kitchen view—completely empty.
Suddenly a sound came
Shhhhing!
A blade appears at Ziro's neck from behind.
> Voice : "Who are you two?"
---
Man in a black cloak holding a katana. Face shadowed.
"I repeat who are you two?"
> Jamal (trembling) "We're not thieves! We just came to check—!"
Voice : "So... you're survivors too." But why are you guys behaving like some thief ,robbers or cultist saying god and coming here after the fall?
jamal.. well I was scared and we are neighbors so we wanted check if anyone is here.....
---
voice: well I see but you guys won't find them anymore survivors of earth..
Ziro turns his head slowly, wide-eyed.
> Ziro: "What is going on? What survivors?! Where's my family? What the hell is this whole situation...?!"
---
Scene~ Man in black lowers his blade, eyes glowing faintly blue. They can't see the face clearly because of some black mist around him.
> voice: "This isn't a fantasy, kid. You're in harsh reality now."
---
The man showed them a hologram -
An abstract star collapsing into a black hole, showing souls and planets getting sucked in.
(Voice):
> "Some stars get swallowed by black stars... some call them black holes... where time twists, and souls get trapped."
---
Flashback image of his own planet being destroyed.
> voice: "I'm not from your Earth. Mine was swallowed ten years ago. I've been surviving ever since."
---
Jamal collapses onto a chair, shocked.
> Jamal: "Then we're gonna die here… no food, no light… no future…"
> Ziro: "You're worried about food now?! Seriously?"
---
wait...
Ziro points at the man then what are you why can't we see your face and if there's no sun then how will all the creature and us human will live??
> " how are you still alive if there's no sun?!"
> voice: "We evolve. Our bodies absorb black Aether. —only survival instinct needed for the survival"
---
they don't know anything anymore it's too sudden of a disaster that has fallen upon them.
Ziro with tears building up.
> Ziro: "Please… help us. I can't find my family. I don't know what to do."please do me this favor.. sob.. sob.
voice : "well...You can't find them because… they didn't survive the transition." I can't comfort you but you should know this isn't the environment of peaceful earth you once knew. "So, whatever you do from here on out it will decide your destiny."
---
Scene ~Both Ziro and Jamal in shock.
> Jamal: "No… my grandma... she's waiting for me in the village..."
> voice: "If their souls couldn't absorb the Aether, they perished." It's hard but this the reality and I can't lie . Sometimes lie can be a beautiful imagination and truth can be a harsh reality. And I prefer the reality not some imaginary dreams.
---
Silence. Ziro and Jamal sit on the floor, heads down.
"Despair hit harder than anything before..."
---
The man in black cloak walking toward door, cloak flowing.
> voice: "I've wasted too much time. I need to report back ..I'm returning to base." "If you two wanna survive you can come with me or die here without anyone knowing of your existence."
> Ziro (running): "Wait! We'll come! Please take us!"
Scene - turns, slight smile.
Voice: "My pleasure… Survivors."
Hmm... I forgot something...
Ziro: what...?
Well , nothing major but what is the name of you two again...hahaha .. (awkward)
---
