FADE IN
INT. DEPARTMENT STORE - NIGHT/DAY
A casually dressed man is perusing the
toy aisle.
MAN
Hmm.
There doesn’t appear to
be
any new Star Wars figures
out.
I was so looking forward
to
that collector’s bust of
Jango
Fett. (beats) That’s odd.
We haven’t had any new figures
in
over six months. (beats)
I
sense something terribly
amiss.
TITLES:
Blackhole
presents:
“Collector’s
Bust”
“The
saga of Bluewing continues..”
(Bluewing
created by: Berkley Priest)
EXT. OUTSIDE DEPT. STORE – BACK
PARKING LOT
The
man notices a fat man dressed in a messy T-shirt and shorts speaking with an
employee of the department store.
He
overhears them talking. There seems to be a shady deal
taking
place.
EMPLOYEE
Here are those new exclusive
figures everyone is looking for.
And they’re all yours.
The
fat man who is obviously a toy monger grins fiendishly as he examines the box.
TOY MONGER
Exellent.
He
runs his fingers through the carded figures.
TOYMONGER
Now they will have to come to
me if they want their new figures!
And their will be a high price
to pay.
Toymonger
cackles evily.
The
man doesn’t like what he sees.
MAN
This looks like a job for (beats)
The
man disappears from site for a second. He emerges in masked crime-fighting
outfit.
MAN
Bluewing!
Bluewing
suddenly descends on Toymonger and the employee.
BLUEWING
Your toy-scalping days are over,
Toymonger!
Toymonger
and the employee are surprised.
TOYMONGER
So. Bluewing. Don’t you have
anything better to do?
BLUEWING
Hording exclusive toys and
charging a higher price for them
makes it hard for children to
get a hold of their favorite
action figures. Which affects
their playtime. There is no deed
more dastardly than messing with
these children who are the future
of this very planet. The same
world and the same future that
you and I will someday live in.
And
when you mess with children
(beats)
you mess with the whole
world,
pal. Namely me!
Bluewing unsheaths his Katana.
BLUEWING
And
there just happens to be
a
bluelight special today on
(beats)
Justice!
Bluewing leaps to attack Toymonger.
Toymonger reaches
into his fanny pack and pulls out some
special
collector’s cards.
TOYMONGER
Try
these hard to find steel
collector’s
cards on for size!
As Bluewing lands and slices a
cardboard box, Toymonger
leaps away and throws his cards.
Bluewing manages to
dogde the attack and the cards go
flying into a nearby
box.
BLUEWING
You’ll
have to do better than that,
Toymonger!
TOYMONGER
Oh
I shall. (beats)
Exclusive
cromium foil attack!
Bluewing is bombarded with what
appears to be cromium
foil all over his body and encases
him.
TOYMONGER
At
last I have a real exclusive!
The
rare Cromium covered Bluewing!
Toymonger laughs meglomaniacally.
Suddenly Bluewing
uses his Katana to cut through foil
and free himself.
He leaps into the air and prepares to
come down on
Toymonger.
BLUEWING
Not
today, Toymonger!
Toymonger is frozen in terror.
BLUEWING
Bluewing
is exlusively
(beats)
For
the people!
As Bluewing makes his last remark he
slices through
Toymonger. With another quick array of
slices, he renders
Toymonger into nothing but a bust made
of flesh.
Bluewing looks over at the employee.
BLUEWING
I
think you have some explaining
to
do to your superiors.
The employee is frozen in fear.
Bluewing looks back
down on the lifeless stump of a flesh
bust that is
what is left of Toymonger. He smirks.
BLUEWING
Now
that’s what I call a
“Collector’s
Bust”.
IRIS OUT TO BLACK.
