MUTANIC KAIJUS

EPISODE 11 – "The True Origin"

EXT. BATTLEFIELD – DAY

MRS. IVY (freaking out)

This was all planned.

MRS. KELINZA

Right from day one.

One of the two remaining clones jumps and lands behind Hydrion, surrounding him.

HYDRION

So these are what they made from me.

The clone behind him pounces—Hydrion grabs its arm and throws it away, but it lands on its feet.

HYDRION (noticing)

They have part of Tybeast in them...

One clone sees its reflection in the ice—then notices the other has no shadow.

Suddenly, TYBEAST blasts out of the ice, BITES the clone's neck, and drags him into the frozen water.

HYDRION

Now only one clone remains standing.

Out of nowhere, ARKRION blasts out and freezes TYBEAST. The other two clones reappear. The battlefield surrounds Hydrion—ARKRION, VATRION, and the three clones: TRI-DRION.

FLORENCIA

We have the upper hand, right?

MRS. KELINZA

Maybe...

While others are focused on Hydrion, Florencia turns to Mrs. Kelinza.

FLORENCIA

How did you do all this?

MRS. KELINZA

I can't tell you that yet.

FLORENCIA (against the cell)

What's the chance of your plan succeeding?

MRS. KELINZA

Exactly 50.5%.

FLORENCIA

Wait—point five?

MRS. KELINZA

Yes.

FLORENCIA

And what's the chance of me seeing Leniel again?

MRS. KELINZA (aside)

(Is that all she thinks about?) ...A hundred percent.

FLORENCIA

I don't know how you planned all this. You're terrifying.

MRS. KELINZA

It all depends on Hydrion now.

Hydrion is completely surrounded. One clone attacks first—then the rest. As they charge, Hydrion shoots a FROST LASER into the sky.

DOZENS OF ICE SPIKES rain from above, striking the ground. FOG spreads everywhere.

Inside the fog—Hydrion launches a devastating assault. The fog clears—ARKRION stands.

Hydrion dashes—Arkrion raises an ICE WALL. Hydrion climbs over, jumps, and punches Arkrion in the face, biting his arm, then stabbing him with an ICE SICKLE.

Arkrion freezes Hydrion's neck and SHATTERS half his jaw. He freezes Hydrion's face and CRUSHES his head.

Hydrion instantly regenerates.

Then—Hydrion pierces Arkrion with ICE-COATED CLAWS, morphs his arm into a METAL BLADE, and CUTS Arkrion's lower body.

He drives the blade through Arkrion's chest and leaves it.

HYDRION

You should learn to give up.

Hydrion turns toward the building Mrs. Kelinza is in. DINNA and MAXI block his path.

HYDRION

This again? Don't start what you can't win.

MAXI

We can't let you destroy anymore.

HYDRION

Quick to jump to conclusions, huh? Get out of my way.

They step aside. Hydrion passes through.

MRS. IVY

What's he doing?

Hydrion extends his arm into the building and pulls out MRS. KELINZA's glass cell.

MRS. KELINZA (waving)

Bye!!!

Hydrion runs away.

DONNA

So what now?

Hydrion reaches the SHORE near the helicopter. He begins turning human. The glass cell freezes and shatters. NAYOKA and LENIEL remove their masks.

LENIEL hugs MRS. KELINZA.

MRS. KELINZA

I missed you so much.

NAYOKA

Looks like they ran away.

EMILY

Actually, I'm still here.

MRS. KELINZA

Wait, did Ely leave you here?

EMILY

Yep.

MRS. KELINZA

That's sad.

EMILY

She has a reason for that, I'm sure.

MRS. KELINZA

Yeah... Guess we'll see for ourselves.

LENIEL

Where's Florencia?

MRS. KELINZA (pointing)

Way back.

LENIEL

That wasn't part of the plan.

MRS. KELINZA

Don't blame me—she was playing hard to get.

LENIEL

I'm going back for her.

MRS. KELINZA

Just don't go hurt yourself. Almost forgot who I was talking to. Yeah, whatever.

Leniel starts walking away, removing his suit—revealing only his shirt and shorts.

LENIEL

...Better.

MRS. IVY

What's he doing?

FLORENCIA

He's coming back?

MRS. IVY

Is he a fool or something?

MRS. ELY enters.

MRS. ELY

There you are.

MRS. IVY

Huh?

MRS. IVY

What's going on?

MRS. ELY

I should be asking that question.

Leniel runs. RODAN notices and reacts.

RODAN

Where does he think he's going? ...Wait.

Leniel's speed increases abnormally.

MRS. IVY

He shouldn't be that fast.

MRS. ELY

You said you proved Hydrion's host was Nayoka, so we used your info to create our project—which ruined everything.

MRS. IVY

So what you're saying is...

Steam emits from Leniel. Muscles cover his body. His form mutates—he becomes werewolf-like.

MRS. IVY

That can't be...

VATRION

Wait—how?

DINNA

You've got to be kidding me...

FLORENCIA (flashbacks)

Leniel?

Leniel, now Hydrion, jumps onto a mountain—then INTO a building.

OFFICER (on comms)

Mrs. Ivy, Hydrion just broke into Sector 9. What is your order?

MRS. IVY (traumatized)

She had me fooled the whole time. All this was planned from the very beginning.

MRS. ELY

She really got you, huh?

FLORENCIA

She wanted us to think Nayoka was Hydrion—to mess everything up. Everything was just... perfect.

MRS. ELY

With perfect timing and precision. They had everything perfect.

Florencia walks away.

OFFICER

Boss? Boss?

MRS. ELY

Do what you can to hold him off.

MRS. IVY

You can't. Now that he's advanced in more than one way—he's a living disaster. Bullets should be less than harmless to him. Her plan is complete.

MRS. ELY

Not yet. If I can get the right devices, I can complete it.

MRS. IVY

Forget it. Who knows—she's probably counting on it.

MRS. ELY

No, she won't.

MRS. IVY

Huh?

MRS. ELY

I had this one before this all began. All I needed was Hydrion's blood to get it running.

MRS. IVY

What are you talking about?

MRS. ELY

Remember... Cydrion?

MRS. IVY

Wasn't that just a toy?

(continued in next message due to length)

(Continued: MUTANIC KAIJUS – EPISODE 11)

EXT. CITY SECTOR 9 – NIGHT

Hydrion tears through soldiers like insects. KELTON, DINNA, and MAXI appear.

KELTON

All the points make sense now...

HYDRION (silent)

MAXI

Who could've guessed...

DINNA

You're after Florencia, right?

KELTON & MAXI

Huh?

HYDRION (quiet, walking forward)

DINNA

At least say something...

HYDRION

What exactly do you want me to say? Just stay out of my way.

KELTON

I'm afraid that can't happen. (steps forward)

HYDRION (stops)

You still think you can defeat me? You four are just inferior versions of me. Why can't you get that in your heads?!

MAXI

Huh?

DINNA

What do you mean?

FLORENCIA (approaching)

You guys were created from him.

HYDRION (spots her)

There she is.

KELTON

So it's true...

FLORENCIA

Yeah. He's the original Mutanic Kaiju. You guys were just copies of him with different DNA structures.

DINNA

Eish... I didn't hear that.

FLORENCIA

Can I talk to Leniel?

Hydrion turns back to LENIEL.

LENIEL

Hey.

FLORENCIA (smiling)

It really is you. Do we go or...? (holds his hand)

DINNA

Florencia...

FLORENCIA

Yes?

DINNA

Are you sure about this?

FLORENCIA

Yeah.

MAXI

What the hell? You can't just leave.

FLORENCIA

Since when did you care?

MAXI

I don't say it doesn't mean I don't care.

FLORENCIA

Yeah, right.

LENIEL

Should I interrupt them?

KELTON

Not yet. And you should avoid running into Rodan—he's probably looking for you by now.

LENIEL

It's still going to be like every time.

KELTON

You really are overconfident.

LENIEL

That's because I know I've already won.

KELTON

You mean you think you've already won.

LENIEL

I don't need to think it. I've just won it. All you ever do is think you can win.

FLORENCIA

Let's go.

LENIEL

I'll see you later, Kelton. To be honest I miss the ruthless you

KELTON

...Sure.

Suddenly, RODAN bursts in.

RODAN

Stay away from her!!

FLORENCIA (grabs Leniel's hand)

Rodan...

Rodan TRANSFORMS, roars, and charges. Leniel prepares to advance—but Florencia stops him.

FLORENCIA

Please don't.

LENIEL

Fine.

Leniel throws Florencia gently aside, then transforms—his eyes glowing blue, skin pale, hair white. He FREEZES Rodan and the entire path, then jumps, catches Florencia, carries her on his back, and escapes. He reverts to human.

INT. BASE – MRS. ELY'S LAB – NIGHT

Mrs. Ely finishes constructing a satellite dish.

MRS. IVY

What are you doing?

MRS. ELY

...It's done.

MRS. IVY

What is?

Mrs. Ely presses a button—sending a FREQUENCY into space.

EXT. MOUNTAIN RIDGE – CONTINUOUS

Leniel stops suddenly.

FLORENCIA

What's wrong?

LENIEL

I don't know... but something's wrong. Very wrong.

MAXI

Is it just me or...?

KELTON

Something's weird.

DINNA

I feel...

The frequency causes HEADACHES for all mutants.

FLORENCIA

Are you okay?

Leniel jumps toward Mrs. Kelinza, drops Florencia off, then HOWLS. Tybeast and Tri-drion howl too.

FLORENCIA

What's wrong with them?

MRS. KELINZA

Someone—or something—is coming.

Suddenly, a SATELLITE crashes into a mountain. A ROBOTIC HYDRION steps out.

MRS. KELINZA

There it is.

MRS. ELY

Cydrion.

Leniel glares—angrily transforms into full Hydrion and ROARS.

FLORENCIA

Leniel?

MRS. KELINZA (pulls her back)

Don't. He's not Leniel at the moment.

Even NAYOKA looks deeply disturbed.

Hydrion walks forward. Cydrion notices and charges. Both start RUNNING toward each other.

Cydrion activates powerful MAGNETIC WAVES—pulls in extra metal parts from the crash site. He becomes FULL KAIJU SIZE.

Hydrion transforms into his full KAIJU FORM. They COLLIDE in a thunderous CLASH.
