Grofx Infiltrates the Blue Lagoon

1. In LOXLEY’s office within the Husk Ship. It’s covered in maps with colored tacks all over them, photographs of Heartless, etc. The room is only lit by a few uncomfortable neon lights. BLADE, full of wonder, reads a written LETTER before LOXLEY, who has clearly given it to her.
CAPTION/LETTER: “MISSION ORDER.
BLUE LAGOON INFILTRATION, PHASE 2. ASSIGNED: BLADENIX. DESCRIPTION: UNUSUALLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF LESSER NOBODIES HAVE BEEN GATHERING IN THE BLUE LAGOON OF ATLANTICA. WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO PULL INFORMATION FROM THEM TO EXPLAIN THEIR ACTIVITY. WE SUSPECT THEY MAY BE CONSPIRING WITH THE ORGANIZATION.”

2. Close on BLADE as she continues to read the LETTER. She blushes, and her eyes light up.
CAP/LETTER: “YOU MAY TAKE A COMRADE TO AID YOU.”

3. Cut to the Blue Lagoon on a beautiful moonlit night. BLADE and GROFX sit in a wooden ROWBOAT together while several lesser NOBODIES reminiscent of common lagoon wildlife thrive around them (i.e. frogs, flamingos, fish, etc.). GROFX is rowing them toward some denser plantlife and makes it obvious how bored he is. BLADE has changed into a very pretty dress akin to the world’s fashion, has brought in the BOAT with her a KIT full of chemistry instruments, and has propped a PARASOL up in the BOAT to shade her while she works. The KIT, as it belongs to BLADE, is an eclectic eyesore of silly shapes (i.e. hearts, stars) and gaudy colors (mainly hot pink). BLADE is happily taking samples of the water in test tubes and is mixing them with various chemical substances from other test tubes.
CAP/LETTER: “TEST THE WATERS FOR ANY CONTAMINATION AND DISPURSE THEIR NUMBERS IF NECESSARY.”

4. Focusing on BLADE as she works. Even the test tubes are shaped like hearts and stars. GROFX looks like he’s about to pass out.
BLADE: I’M DREADFULLY THIRSTY! HAVE YOU ANYTHING TO DRINK, MR. TEST TUBE?
BLADE: WHY YES, SIR BEAKER! TRY MY—

5. Close on GROFX. He quits rowing and rests on an ORE in misery.
GROFX: I’M… SO… TIRED! AND BORED! GIMME A TRY AT THAT SCIENCE BOX, WOULD YOU?

1. Close on BLADE, who stops working and heavily weighs her options in the form of two thought BUBBLES, one on either side of her, with a small, simplified image inside each of them.

BUBBLE 1 Description: GROFX hugs BLADE, both smiling, while an explosion erupts from the water behind their BOAT.

BUBBLE 2 Description: GROFX simply throws his head back in anger, his mouth open in a moan, and BLADE is sad.

2. BLADE sits upright, trying to be strong in front of GROFX. He’s taken a little aback.
BLADE: N-NO. I’M SORRY, GROFX. IT’S NOT A TOY.

3. GROFX throws his head back in anger and moans, similar to the image in PANEL 1, BUBBLE 2. BLADE shrinks in shame and sadness. A PELICAN NOBODY can be seen standing in the water close to the front of the boat.
GROFX: UGGHHHH!

4. Grofx provokes the PELICAN NOBODY standing in the swamp, now right next to them as the boat drifts by.
GROFX: WHAT’VE YOU GOT TO AMUSE ME, FOOL?

5. The PELICAN NOBODY, now directly in front of GROFX, spits a fair amount of water in his face. He recoils.
SFX/SPIT: SPPPBT

6. GROFX frowns, and he wipes and opens his eyes to see that BLADE is offering him a hankie to dry off. The PELICAN NOBODY flies away.
BLADE: I THOUGHT WE COULD JUST ENJOY EACH OTHER’S COMPANY. IS THAT SO BAD?

1. The BOAT has come to a stop in the shade of a canopy of swamp trees. BLADE is back to focusing on her work. Behind her, on the other side of the BOAT, we see GROFX, who has given up rowing at all now. He is lying down as best he can in the tight space, and he lazily passes his fingers through the dark water. The collection of NOBODIES is much greater here. Most notably, there are FIREFLY NOBODIES lighting up the area romantically.

2. Close on GROFX as he casually looks up in BLADE’s direction. Behind him, a FROG NOBODY leans in on a cattail.

3. Same as before. The FROG NOBODY starts to sing into GROFX’s ear. GROFX is unaware and focuses a little more on BLADE, curious.
FROG NOBODY: THERE YOU SEE HER…

4. Behind GROFX, looking at BLADE. She’s appears very pretty as she looks down at her work.
FROG NOBODY: …SITTING THERE ACROSS THE WAY.

5. Close on GROFX. He starts to smile. More NOBODIES start to back up the main FROG NOBODY in the background, seemingly unbeknownst to GROFX and BLADE.
FROG NOBODY: SHE DON’T GOT A LOT TO SAY…

6. Close on BLADE. She looks up and smiles back, blushing and a little embarrassed. FIREFLY NOBODIES collect around her more tightly, and FLAMINGO NOBODIES dance gracefully in the background.
FROG NOBODY: …BUT THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT HER.

7. Close on GROFX. His smile has grown in into a heated and naughty sneer.
FROG NOBODY: AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT YOU’RE DYING TO TRY. YOU WANNA—

1. GROFX throws the KIT off the BOAT in mischievous glee! BLADE is mortified. The NOBODIES rejoice.

2. The water where GROFX threw the KIT into erupts in a huge explosion, knocking the BOAT over. The NOBODIES disperse.
SFX: BOOM!

3. An ORE in shadow plunges into the swamp. Water rains down around it.

4. We zoom out to focus on BLADE holding the ORE, her dress wet and her hair disheveled. Her dark side has emerged: Everything that was sweet and innocent about her is now gone, and instead she looks hateful, vicious, and cunning. She has mustered an enormous strength from her seething rage, and she alone is keeping the BOAT from toppling over against the surging water. GROFX clings to the BOAT, not a toe touching the water, and he’s absolutely thrilled. The PARASOL falls out of the boat and washes away. We can infer from the brighter lighting and falling branches in the background that the explosion tore a large hole through the canopy. A few more raining drops continue to fall.
BLADE: THAT WAS EVERYTHING!

5. The BOAT is tipped back upright now and is rocking, leaving the ORE stuck in the mud. BLADE is almost at GROFX’s throat. He is more than happy to taunt her.
BLADE: YOU DESTROYED EVERYTHING!
GROFX: YOU’RE NO FUN! I HATE YOU! NO MORE STUPID MISSIONS WITH YOU AGAIN!

---

1. BLADE summons her SCIMITARS. GROFX prepares to summon.
BLADE: I’LL MAKE SURE OF THAT!
GROFX: I DARE YOU TO TRY!

2. Looking down on the BOAT, it is once again cast in shadow. BLADE and GROFX stop to look up.
LEVIATON (OP): YOU PITIFUL... INSIGNIFICANT… FOOLS!

3. From behind BLADE and GROFX, we look up to see the massive, monstrous LEVIATON. He is a horrific mess of all the lesser Lagoon NOBODIES bonded together with a strange pink membrane, and he towers above the Lagoon canopy, much of his massive body hidden beneath the water. The water around him is pinker as well. His belly is exposed, and embedded in it is BLADE’S gaudy-colored KIT. The early morning sky is starting to lighten.
LEVIATON: YOU’VE GIVEN ME THE POWER TO CONSUME! AT LONG LAST, I—THE LEVIATON—WILL CONSUME ATLANTIS AND RULE THE SEAS!

4. From behind GROFX, he points at the LEVIATON’s belly & turns to BLADE.
GROFX: YOU GONNA SCRATCH HIM TOO FOR TAKIN’ YOUR SCIENCE BOX, EH?
BLADE: YES.

---

PAGE 6

---

1. BLADE raises one of her SCIMITARS high in preparation to throw it at the creature.
BLADE: I’LL SPARE YOU UNTIL I’VE HAD LES POISSONS FOR BREAKFAST!

2. The LEVIATON turns away from them. The SCIMITAR has been thrown and stabs into his back.
SFX/STAB: SWACK

3. The SCIMITAR is pushed out of the flesh by the emerging faces of new lesser NOBODIES that fill the gaping wound.
SFX: poop

4. BLADE looks toward the LEVIATON, her eyes narrow. On the other side of the boat, GROFX turns to look up at her while kneeling and trying in vain to reach the ORE in the mud. He looks like a hopeless buffoon beside her, who is now a skilled and calculative woman.
GROFX: HA HA! YOU REALLY ARE A STUPID GIRL TO THINK THAT’D WORK.
BLADE: ON THE CONTRARY, MY TEST DID WORK. I CAN’T HURT THAT THING. THE TOXINS IN THE KIT ARE SUSTAINING IT. I NEED YOU TO HELP ME CATCH UP WITH THE LEVIATON SO I CAN DESTROY THE KIT, HEAR ME?

5. GROFX stops reaching for the ORE and is now climbing into the water. So far, he only has one leg in. We see BLADE’s legs as she stands beside him in the BOAT.
BLADE (OP): GET BACK IN THE BOAT.
GROFX: YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, FOOL.

6. Same shot, but the other SCIMITAR has arrived at GROFX’s neck. He swallows his pride, literally.
SFX: gulp

---

PAGE 7

---

1. GROFX is back in the BOAT and standing, and BLADE is behind him, still holding the sword to his neck. GROFX thinks he’s caught onto her game, and he finds it arousing in his own way.
GROFX: YOU’RE ACTIN’ ODD…
BLADE: HOW PERCEPTIVE OF YOU, GROFX. I’M NOT SO BORING ANYMORE, AM I? NOW PULL OUT THAT BIG SCREW OF YOURS LIKE I SAY, AND I PROMISE NOT TO GET ANY MORE EXCITING.
GROFX: …HOW’S MORE EXCITIN’?

2. BLADE presses the sword very tight on his neck, cutting it a bit, and shouts straight into his ear. GROFX recoils.
BLADE (shout): PULL IT OUT OR I’LL CUT OFF YOUR HEAD!!!
GROFX: ARIGHT!

3. Downward shot of the boat dead in the water. GROFX has pulled out his giant SCREW. BLADE backs off, and she stands untouchable before him with a proud swagger.
BLADE: YOU’RE GOING TO DO EXACTLY AS I SAY. THE WATER IS TOXIC NOW, SO DON’T GET WET. WE CAN’T REACH THE LEVIATON WITHOUT THE ORES…

4. Closer on BLADE and GROFX. We can now get a good view of how pissed off GROFX is.
BLADE: …BUT WE WON'T BE NEEDING THEM.

5. View of the BOAT from behind speeding across the water! BLADE is at the front of the boat with her SCIMITAR raised high like a bloodthirsty pirate captain. GROFX is sitting down in the back seat, holding his SCREW steady in the water, which is spinning in the opposite direction than usual and propelling them forward like a boat motor. They’ve ditched the other ORE. The sun is now on the horizon.
BLADE: HA HA HA! THIS IS MORE LIKE IT!
SFX/SCREW: VrrrrrRRRMM!

---

PAGE 8

---

1. Another view of the boat angling past the swamp trees. We get another good view of GROFX’s face, which is contorted with almost tangible disdain. BLADE shouts out orders.
BLADE: TO THE RIGHT! TO THE LEFT! FOLLOW THE CURRENT, YOU IDIOT!
GROFX: GRRR…

2. From behind GROFX, we see BLADE turn around and put the tip of her SCIMITAR to her teeth mischievously. With the sun directly behind her, we can see the silhouette of her legs through her dress.
BLADE: MAYBE I’LL SPARE YOU AFTER ALL. YOU’RE FUN TO PLAY WITH.

3. GROFX makes a harsh turn right under the low-hanging branch of a tree, which hits BLADE right in the head. She’s knocked airborne.
SFX/SCREW: VRRR—
SFX/IMPACT: WHAP!

4. BLADE skids into the water.
SFX: SPLOOSH

5. GROFX continues driving away and looks back with hatred.
GROFX: SCREW YOU IN HELL!

1. GROFX has exited the Lagoon. The sun is higher in the sky. He hugs the shore as it sweeps to the side, and he can see that he’s catching up to the LEVIATON, which is also slowly turning the corner and staining the water behind him pink. There are lots of large rocks in and out of the water.
SFX: VRRMMmmmm

2. GROFX has gotten ahead and pulled up behind a ramp-shaped rock, his screw is deactivated for the moment, and he’s looking at the on-coming LEVIATON. From this angle, rocks obscure the weak spot.
GROFX: DESTROY THE KIT, EH?

3. GROFX takes off again!
GROFX: PIECE O’ CAKE!
SFX: VRRRRR!!!

4. The BOAT is launched out of the water and skids up the ramp-shaped rock toward the LEVIATON, now right in front of him.
SFX: SKUDDD

5. An impressive shot: In midair, GROFX leaps off the front of the BOAT, which falls away, and he aims his SCREW to skewer the belly of the beast.
SFX: VRRMMmmmm

---

PAGE 10

---

1. Close on GROFX in midair as his face shows that he’s caught off-guard.

2. We see it: The gaudy KIT embedded in the LEVIATON’s belly has been covered up almost entirely by BLADE, who has been assimilated into the thing’s flesh. She is held to it the same way the other NOBODIES are, with a pinkish membrane all around the edges of her body. She is looking in GROFX’s direction straight ahead of her, and her eyes look like those of a zombie. Her dress is torn in places, and she holds a SCIMITAR in her hands, which are free.

3. GROFX falters, missing his chance at the stab, and he falls away from BLADE.

4. GROFX clamps onto some NOBODIES apart of the monster’s flesh just above the water level. His SCREW falls into the water.
SFX/CLAMP: CLAMP
NOBODIES: IT’S NO USE… NO USE… YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME…

5. A far shot of GROFX climbing up just in time to miss a wave.

---

PAGE 11

---

1. GROFX climbs up beside BLADE. She watches him, still dead-eyed. The wind is particularly strong here, blowing their hair all over.
BLADE: NO USE…
NOBODIES: NO USE…
GROFX: STUPID GIRL.

2. BLADE, still heldfast to the thing’s flesh, swings her SCIMITAR at GROFX with her closest arm.
BLADE: RAH!

3. GROFX grabs the SCIMITAR with one hand and struggles to pull it away. He’s very tired by now.
GROFX: UNGH!

4. GROFX succeeds in taking it out of her hand and is thrown back a little. She claws the air between them.

5. GROFX catches a foothold on the other side of her. He holds the SCIMITAR directly over her chest, ready to strike. She claws at him madly, but it’s useless with her gloves and his leather suit.

---

PAGE 12

---

1. Close on GROFX, still holding the sword, wincing in determination in the harsh sea wind.

2. Close on BLADE, who looks like a rabid zombie. It’s a pathetic sight.
BLADE: RAHH!
NOBODIES (OP): YOU CAN’T FIGHT… NO USE…

3. Close on GROFX, still holding the sword, wincing, looking frustrated, guilty. He’s coming to terms with his responsibility.

4. GROFX instead uses the SCIMITAR to cut along the membrane that holds BLADE to the LEVIATON.
SFX: SNIK SNIK SNIK
NOBODIES: THAT’S ENOUGH! GET OFF! GET OFF NOW!

5. The LEVIATON starts waving a massive arm on his seaward side to swat his belly.
LEVIATON: GET OFF, YOU PEST!

6. Close shot of GROFX’s hand and the SCIMITAR, cutting off more of the membrane.
SFX: SNIK

---

PAGE 13

---

1. Large panel, a split second in time: GROFX lets go and falls back. He’s dropping the sword. BLADE breaks away, unconscious, the last bit of the membrane tearing off, and she is falling into his arms. In the background just behind them, we see the arm of the LEVIATON a mere moment away from striking them both.

2. We see the arm swatting them, but we are too far away or not at the best angle to make out their details.
SFX: SWAT!

3. Cut to the sandy bank, the same one Prince Eric favored in “The Little Mermaid.” Conveniently, GROFX and BLADE crash into the sand there. The come in at an angle and roll higher onto the bank, emitting a huge cloud of sand on impact, mostly obscuring them.
SFX: WOMFFF

---

PAGE 14

---

1. We see GROFX barely holding an unconscious BLADE in the sand. They both look like disasters, like BLADE’s dress is now in tatters, and they are covered in sand. GROFX coughs.
SFX: cough cough

2. GROFX sits up and holds his head.
GROFX: UHHH…

3. From behind GROFX and BLADE, we see the LEVIATON in the middle of the ocean, still on the move, pretty far into the distance.

4. Close on GROFX, who looks out to sea, at a loss.
PELICAN NOBODY (OP): HEY BUDDY!

5. GROFX looks to the side to see the same PELICAN NOBODY from earlier.
PELICAN NOBODY: HEY! I’VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YA.

6. Close on GROFX. This is the very last thing he wants to see now.
GROFX: OH, SCREW OFF—

7. The NOBODY spits water in his face. He’s too tired and upset to even react more than closing his eyes.
SFX: SPPPBT

---

PAGE 15

---

1. BLADE lies in the sand. Her face scrunches as she starts to wake up.

2. Blade sits up in a wonderfully big morning stretch and yawns as if after a really nice sleep. A load of sand falls off her, along with what’s left of the membrane, and the midriff area of her dress. She doesn’t notice any of it.
SFX: yawwwwwnn

3. BLADE opens her eyes wide and smiles. Clearly, she is back to her old self. She is pleasantly surprised at her surroundings and curious, unaware of what a mess she is. A couple pretty birds fly by.
BLADE: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BEACH…

4. From behind BLADE, we now see GROFX flailing and drowning just off the shore in the direction of the LEVIATON.

5. BLADE has run into the water in a sudden panic. GROFX has managed to drown in water that is only waist high on BLADE. She desperately pulls him up and away from the receding tide. GROFX is fainting, his eyes shut tight.
BLADE: GROFX! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T SWIM!
SFX/GROFX: gargle gargle

6. BLADE has dragged him higher onto the shore and collapses to her knees beside his limp body. His eyes roll half open and are clearly glazed over like BLADE’s were previously.
BLADE: OOF! YOU’RE HEAVIER THAN YOU LOOK.

7. BLADE holds his shoulders and shakes him frivolously. She’s concerned, but the gravity of the situation hasn’t set in yet.
BLADE: COME ON, GROFX. WAKE UP!

---

PAGE 16

---

1. BLADE looks around for ideas. Anything.

2. BLADE stares behind her at the LEVIATON on the horizon. There’s a sense of doom.
BLADE: OH NO…

3. BLADE takes GROFX’s hand and shakes it, but she can’t take her eyes off the sea. She’s scared now.
BLADE: W-WHAT IS THAT THING? A MONSTER? IT’S NOT HEADING FOR ATLANTIS, IS IT? WHAT’S GOING ON, GROFX?!

4. BLADE turns back to GROFX now, leans over him, and shakes his cheek with her right hand.
BLADE: PLEASE WAKE UP! DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE! I NEED YOU! I DON’T KNOW…

5. Close on BLADE as she hangs over GROFX, the late morning sun shining behind her. With her red hair and pose, she strongly resembles Ariel when the mermaid awoke her prince on the same beach with her singing. But instead of singing, BLADE gently starts to cry. Reality hits her.
BLADE: I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

6. We look down on them as BLADE lies face down on his chest in forfeit. The tide ebbs.

---

PAGE 17

---

1. Close on BLADE. She’s in the same position, and we can’t see her face. She appears to be snoring.
SFX: zzzZZzz…

2. Zoom out just enough to see GROFX. BLADE raises her head. She looks up with red, puffy eyes. We can now see that GROFX is sleeping with his dead eyes open.
SFX: ZZZzzz…

3. BLADE sits up and vigorously and pulls GROFX with her by his arms. His head rolls back, and he shuts his eyes tight. The tide rolls in.
BLADE: GROFX! YOU’RE ALIVE!
SFX: ZZZ—
GROFX: HMM…?

4. BLADE, crying again, gives GROFX a bear hug. He stiffens in horror. His eyes are back to normal. The tide continues to come in and splashes them a bit.
BLADE: I’LL NEVER TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU AGAIN!!
GROFX: GAHH!

5. GROFX scrambles backwards on his hands and butt, trying to get away from BLADE fast. She sits in place and whines, flustered, her arms flailing. The tide ebbs.
GROFX: ARE YOU GONNA CUT ME?!
BLADE: W-WHAT? OH, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON! THERE’S A MONSTER OUT THERE AND I… AND I… WHAT DO WE DO?!

6. GROFX scratches his head, unsure. BLADE stands for action.
GROFX: UHH… I DON’T CARE GOOD FOR TALKIN’.
BLADE: YOU HAVE TO TRY! I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY!

---

PAGE 18

---

1. The BOAT and the PARASOL conveniently ride in on the tide, in perfect condition. GROFX and BLADE are in the background nearby, and GROFX sees them.
GROFX: WE UHHH…

2. Same as before. The tide ebbs, leaving the BOAT and the PARASOL on the shore. GROFX stands up renewed and summons his SCREW.
GROFX: WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR BREAKFAST.

3. From deep below the ocean, we see the LEVIATON has descended to just above the golden towers of Atlantis.
LEVIATON: BEHOLD, ATLANTIS! I AM THE RULER OF THE SEAS NOW! BOW TO MY POWER!

4. The LEVIATON is now one giant chomp away from taking off the towers.

---

PAGE 19

---

1. The LEVIATON bites, but somehow he’s been pulled up, out of reach of the towers, and bites nothing.
SFX: KROMP!

2. The LEVIATON tries to turn his head to look up, and he sees that he’s being sucked up into a cyclone.
LEVIATON: WHAT?!

3. The LEVIATON is caught in a wide and deep funnel that has seemingly illogically pulled him to the surface. The cyclone is pulling water up from deep in the ocean and pushing it out to the side like a fountain.
LEVIATON: NO! IT’S IMPOSSIBLE! I SHOULD COMMAND THE SEAS!

4. The LEVIATON is floundering on his side, struggling against the unnatural current. We see the BOAT in the water driving with the current toward the creature, but we can’t make out many details yet. We do, however, see that the water is behaving even more erratically next to the boat on the side of the cyclone, as the water is actually drawing to the boat.
LEVIATON: HOW CAN THIS BE?!

---

PAGE 20

---

1. Now we get a great view of the BOAT: GROFX is at the front, pulling them forward and inducing the cyclone with the powerful magic of his SCREW. He’s sweating and beet red, using all his strength to control the thing. BLADE is in back, with the PARASOL in one hand, shading them from the splashing water, and a readied SCIMITAR in the other.
GROFX: WITH A REALLY BIG SCREW!

2. GROFX and BLADE pass by the LEVIATON’s upper half, and they just barely escape a massive, swatting arm, which makes a huge splash behind them. It knocks them off course a little.
BLADE: KEEP IT STEADY! TO THE LEFT!
GROFX: I’M TRYIN’!

3. The BOAT approaches the LEVIATON’s belly as the monster turns upright. GROFX pushes hard on the SCREW handle to slow the BOAT down, and he looks like he’s about to break.
BLADE: YOU CAN DO IT! JUST A LITTLE MORE…

4. The BOAT passes right by the LEVIATON’s belly, and BLADE throws her SCIMITAR straight into the exposed KIT.
BLADE: TAKE THAT, YOU SCURVY SEACOW!
SFX/IMPACT: CLANG!

5. Close shot of the impaled KIT. A brightly colored smoke is shooting out from it, and the innards of the kit glow fluorescent and hot. The membrane between the LEVIATON’s NOBODIES glows similarly. It looks toxic and dangerous.
SFX/SMOKE: HISSSS
NOBODIES: HOW?! HOW?!

---

PAGE 21

---

1. Far shot of the scene where we can see the whole cyclone. The LEVIATON explodes into thousands of little pieces all over, leaving behind nothing but a few small arms of lightning stretching across a cloud of colored smoke where the monster used to be.
SFX: KABOOM!

2. Upward shot of BLADE and GROFX in the BOAT. GROFX pulls up his screw, which is now deactivated, and he lets the current take them around, slowing down the BOAT. They look up and around in awe at the remnants of the LEVIATON that float down from the sky. As we can now see, the remnants are actually thousands of individual NOBODIES, and they sparkle and vanish as they fall. Only a few NOBODIES hit the water before vanishing.

3. Same shot. GROFX and BLADE exchange triumphant grins. A bewildered mermaid is thrown up out of the water behind them.

---

PAGE 22

---

1. In LOXLEY’s office once again. BLADE, nervous, reads a written LETTER before LOXLEY, who has clearly given it to her.
CAPTION/LETTER: “MISSION ORDER. BLUE LAGOON INFILTRATION, PHASE 3. ASSIGNED: BLADENIX. DESCRIPTION: DUE TO DISASTROUS FAILURE OF PHASE 1, YOU MUST RETURN TO THE LOCATION IMMEDIATELY FOR EMERGENCY WATER DETOXIFICATION.”

2. Close on BLADE as she continues to read the LETTER. She perks up, feeling flirty.
CAP/LETTER: “YOU MAY TAKE A COMRADE TO AID YOU.”

3. Close on BLADE, in almost the same position and expression, but in a new setting. She’s now opened a door to another room, only to meet GROFX’s giant SCREW. It slams into the doorframe right beside BLADE’s neck, but she is unfazed.
SFX: WHACK!
BLADE: HI, GROFX!

4. From behind BLADE, we can see she’s entering the door to the observation deck. We can see across the room are large windows overlooking the long, massive boarding dock of the Husk that stretches into space. GROFX has made a horrible, trash-ridden mess of the small, already shabby room. He does not have a chair and has nowhere to sit down save for an old boxy TV on the floor. GROFX is standing in front of her, aloof, lowering his SCREW.
GROFX: OH, YOU AGAIN. DON’T SURPRISE ME.

5. GROFX turns away and looks out the window. BLADE follows him further into the room with her latest LETTER. Here we can see the back side of the room, which has several old, boxy computer monitors and TVs stacked on top of each other, each displaying a security camera view of somewhere in the ship.
GROFX: I’M ON GUARD.
BLADE: I’VE BEEN ORDERED TO DETOX THE LAGOON. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP ME?

6. GROFX turns back to BLADE, excited. She has come even closer to him, now giddily holding her hands behind her back and stretching her neck into where his comfort zone used to be.
GROFX: YEAH! THAT SOUNDS FUN.
BLADE: ARE YOU SURE? YOU KNOW THERE’S NO MONSTER TO FIGHT ANYMORE.

---

PAGE 23

---

1. Close on BLADE and GROFX. She presses her nose against his, wide-eyed and anxious to get the answer she wants. She doesn’t understand how invasive her behavior is. GROFX is shocked, but only because of her words, not her closeness. He is used to her behavior by now and does not bother to back away.
BLADE: IT’LL BE REALLY BORING.

2. Close on GROFX, who is completely and utterly dumbfounded. He desperately tries to grasp how he feels about the situation.

3. GROFX gruffly shoves BLADE off of him and rolls his eyes. She stumbles back, forced to sit on the TV on the floor.
GROFX: I GUESS I’VE GOT TO ENJOY YOUR COMPANY FOR ONCE…

4. GROFX proudly straightens up. He points at her to both show his conviction and to stop her from standing up again. He’s poking her on the ball of her nose. BLADE grins wide; she knows better.
GROFX: …BUT I WON’T LIKE IT.

5. Cut back to the Lagoon on a hot day. Close shot of a BUG, maybe a firefly, that gets caught by a gooey tongue.
SFX: SLAP

---

PAGE 24

---

1. The tongue draws the BUG into the mouth of a little FROG NOBODY sitting on the edge of a muddy bank. The bug sticks out a bit from the mouth.

2. The FROG NOBODY swallows the BUG and ribbits, inflating its throat. A little water rolls in and splashes its face.
SFX/NOBODY: RIBBIT

3. The FROG NOBODY hops across a couple lily pads.

4. From underwater, we see the FROG NOBODY dive in.

5. Underwater, behind the FROG NOBODY, we watch it swim deeper. Other lesser NOBODIES are also swimming to the same spot, and as they descend into the dark water, they become mere silhouettes. They are assembling in a uniquely shaped, dark mass that can only be a piece of the LEVIATON.
