BLOOD ALLOY SAMPLE SCRIPT
Edward Davis III
AXIS Grafix

PAGE ONE

Panel 1
The establishing shot is an aerial view of an urban industrial district on a rainy night. There are various types of warehouses, plants, and factories, each unique from the other. (At least one of these has a skylight visible on the roof.) The street is fairly desolate except for a few parked cars.
A large freight truck is approaching a four-way intersection. The area is dark and shadowy due to the lack of adequate streetlights that have either been shot out, or broken.

Panel 2
We delve into one of these sinister areas; a dimly lit alley in which the truck has pulled into. There are many damaged barrels (corroded, dented, leaking) littering the alley. There is a bay door being guarded by a 30-something, Caucasian tough guy. The bearded, hard nose is wearing a dark leather jacket, jeans, and cowboy boots. He has a machine gun strapped on his shoulder, lighting a cigarette.

Panel 3
The truck pulls up to the bay door and the driver, an Asian woman, chats with the guard. She is very pretty, with long, silky black hair. There is a passenger in the car, but due to the lack of light, his face is not visible.

Panel4
The guard gives the driver a nod, tough guy style, that the truck is ok to pull into the dock. On the adjacent building, we see a mysterious, shadowy figure, eyeing the scene.

Panel 5
Worm’s eye view of the truck entering the loading dock. In the background, we see our shadowman, leaping onto the warehouse roof, unbeknownst to the guard.

Panel 6
We zoom in on the still shadowy character, yet are unable to get a positive ID on who it is, but from the outline/silhouette, it appears to be Blood Alloy (Wes).

PAGE TWO

Panel 1
The figure peers into the building’s skylight. As we are closer, the dark outline shows that it is definitely Wes we are hanging out with. We are looking over his shoulder, seeing what he’s seeing. The building is some sort of chemical storage plant. Stacked high, but neat, are different sized wood crates and barrels, some with TOXIC, DANGER, and POISON icons and symbols posted on them. Place a few forklifts and handy-jacks being manned by a dozen or so workers in the scene.
The truck has parked and there appears to be a meeting between 4 individuals. (3 men & 1 woman.)

Panel 2
Zoom in to see two of the men shaking hands. The first, closest to the truck and alone, is a small, friendly, Asian man. He wears small, round rimmed glasses and appears to be in his late 50’s. His black hair is balding on top. He has on a dark business suit and overcoat.

The second man, a Black man, is much more flamboyant than his acquaintance. He’s bald and clean-shaven and doesn’t look as jolly. He sports twin earrings as well as a nose piercing. He has on black, leather pants and high-top sneakers. He doesn’t have on a shirt but instead dons a three-quarter-length mink fur. He has on a large platinum necklace with an outlandish sized medallion. You can also see that he is packing a handgun in his pants. He is a fairly large man, exhibiting power and respect in his movements.

On his right is the third man, a Latino, who serves as his bodyguard. This guy is a MONSTER, towering over the other two men and looks meaner than his boss. He’s wearing a tight muscle shirt (his bare arms sport various types of tattoos), jeans, and ankle high boots. In a chest holster, he’s carrying a Glock 9mm handgun. He’s bald, but has multiple tattoos all over his head and neck, and also has a goatee.
On the left of the boss is his eye candy of the evening, a seductive Black woman. Her hair is in twin Afro-puffs. She is wearing extremely large gold hoop earrings. She is naturally very beautiful, but an excess of makeup spoils this beauty. She has an expression showing she’d rather be elsewhere. She’s wearing a sequin sleeveless mini-dress, with white leather boots. She is holding a large metal briefcase.

Panel 3
The woman opens the suitcase to show some e major dollars. $$$$

Panel 4
Close-up as the Asian man smiles wryly while reaching into the inner pocket of his jacket.

Panel 5
The tattooed bodyguard draws his weapon at the Asian’s threatening move. The Asian man is still smiling, as he puts up his other hand in a peaceful gesture.

Panel 6
He then pulls out a small remote control from his jacket pocket.

Panel 7
He points the remote at the parked delivery truck and presses a button.

Panel 8
We can’t see the truck, but our four guests are looking at it. The Asian man is at maximum grinning capacity at this point. The other three have a look of utter amazement on their mugs.

PAGE THREE

Panel 1
We now get the same look of awe as we see what they do…a HUGE, armored robot, with all types of expensive weaponry, gadgets, and gizmos! (Go wild with yourtalent and imagination here, we’re talking ROBOTECH meets TRANSFORMERS meets GUNDAM meets, well, y’know.)

Panel 2
The boss and bodyguard slam fists in hoodlum glee as they think of all the terror and mayhem they can unleash with the robot.

Panel 3
They look at their newly found friend with admiration, as the woman is about to hand him the briefcase of money….

Panel 4
…But everyone looks to the ceiling in shock as they find they are not alone.

PAGE FOUR

Panel 1
Huge, splash panel of Wes in all of his Blood Alloy glory, shattering the glass of the skylight as he springs from his rooftop perch, onto the unsuspecting criminals.

Panel 2
He vaults into a well-placed scissor-kick on the boss and bodyguard, knocking them unconscious. The lady of the night hightails it out of there. If there are some workers visible in this scene, they are heading fast for the exits.

Panel 3
Our Asian friend is pushing the controls on the remote unit, getting the robot to fire an explosive round at Wes.

PAGE FIVE

Panel 1
Wes dodges the blast, which ruptures a canister, spilling it’s corrosive fluid all over the floor. Wes fires back with a blast from his ion cannons.

Panel 2
The salvo misses the automaton, but hits the base of a high stack of canisters, tipping the liquid in the direction of the android.

Panel 3
We pan over to the old man, happy as a wife with an unlimited credit card, manipulating the controls of the remote. Wes is stalking towards him.

Panel 4
Wes picks up the old man, who doesn’t look too happy anymore and is frantically hitting the buttons on the remote control.

Panel 5
Wes turns the old man to look at his toy and the man is heartbroken by the sight. The stack of chemicals Wes knocked over, spilled onto the robot, turning it into a massive slag of molten metal.

Panel 6
Our ending shot is of Wes standing over the criminals after he has captured and bound them all. The guard, the driver, boss, bodyguard, and woman, and the old man are all there, wrapped up and waiting for the authorities.
