INTRO ON THE SNEAKY BIRDS.
Jani Pauli (Moon Black). Tough teenage face, with a long sword at hand.
Uddin (Gentle Tiger, although hardly called) watches everything.
Irish Daisy. Still new. But determined.
Scar Face, a pro with the knife.
Young Boy Justice, 13 years old, a genius.
Machi Kuli always puts on a feather cap. She's a pro at martial arts. Strong and firm.
Jullian Nova carries a spark emitter. The spark emitter is tied in her right hand — shoots electronic sparks.
THE STORY CONTINUES...
Nightfall. The Sneaky Birds go on another mission. Seven figures slip through a tunnel and burst into a moon-lit forest.
Moon Black brings out a map with rough scratches on bark.
"Target: Nightshade Keep. 10 kilometres south, in the grove of Comptings Province. A long tower, standing about 7 stories high. We follow through this abandoned tunnel in the map, it leads to the 5th story. The tunnel is around 2 km away, we head straight. The distance Between the tunnel and the tower is around 8 km away. Probably the enemies built it prepared for war or something.
Goal: Sneak in, we climb till the 7th story, and steal the Golden Chuppah (an item even the richest hardly own. It's a rare entity). We sneak out before sunrise. No stupid acts. Be swift and move together."
She warns.
They scout through the forest. Machi Kuli runs low to observe. Scar Face clears the tangled bushes. Justice passes numbers to Jullian Nova, who makes a blue path on the ground. Uddin follows behind, watching the rear. Daisy steps lightly, following Uddin.
As they're closing in on the tunnel, a crossbow bolt lands near Scar Face's boot. "One guard. I'll handle him," he says, then vanishes, knives flashing. Silence follows.
They slip through the tunnel. In the count of minutes They emerge into the belly-lit corridor of building 5.
Their feet match the stairs. Rushing towards the 7th story. They now reach the 7th floor. Machi Kuli breaks the door and gives the signal — all safe. Justice pours powder onto the ground, checking for traps. "No light, safe," he assures.
Uddin runs through, finding the central room. On a stand inside a box sits the Golden Chuppah, leaking light like a golden star that illuminates the sky, soft but priceless, almost as if it's forgotten. Daisy opens the box. Moon Black orders, "Take it fast."
A shadow from the dark rushes toward her. A woman wearing a hidden veil; her hand touches the gold. A spark of energy bursts out.
Moon Black drives her sword down, like she's trying to cut through. Udinn quickly pulls Daisy away.
Scar Face and Machi Kuli engage the enemy. Jullian Nova sends a spark that hits the gold; it explodes, blue violent light filling the room.
When the light fades, the Golden Chuppah breaks, leaving a strong siren sound that covers the air. And the woman wearing a disguise is gone.
Suddenly, an army starts to assemble. Moon Black gazes at the scattered pieces, breathing heavily like a volcano about to explode. "Damn! We broke their song… Failed the mission, lost the prize."
In the distance a horn sounds — soldiers rallying.
"Quick, time to escape."
Justice shouts, "Follow me."
Another chamber inside the building.
"Quick, Moon Black, break the wall."
The wall bursts open. A tiny road leads down.
"Follow my lead, it will lead us to a forest nearby," Justice says.
The guards, seeing the broken wall, follow through the chamber, chasing them towards the forest.
As they enter the forest, Justice takes the lead. "Follow this track," he says.
All Sneaky Birds dart away. Scar Face grins, grateful.
"Glad we got Justice on the team."
"Run faster," Moon Black warns.
"Roger."
They start running faster. Uddin grabs Daisy on her back and runs.
Guards running fast as well.
"They're so many of them, they're fast," Daisy says.
A huge man, with one eye closed, carrying a short pistol. Closing in towards Uddin.
"Drop me, I'm affecting your speed!" Daisy stubbornly requests.
"Shut it, he'll not reach me," Uddin assures.
The guard closing in much faster. The guard points his gun. Uddin starts darting the opposite. Left to right, and right to left. Attempting to escape his bullet blasts.
Machi Kuli stops to engage the man. "Uddin, go! I'll buy time!" she shouts.
Jullian joins; both engage the guard.
Scar Face removes a broken piece of Golden Chuppah.
"Ah ha! Throw it. Moon Black, strike it!" Justice shouts.
Scar Face throws the broken piece towards Moon Black. She grabs the piece and returns back. Removes a grenade from her pocket and throws.
Machi Kuli and Jullian jump away. Grenade explodes. A large light comes out, mixing with the grenade's smoke. Guard on ground. Other men are still approaching but the smoke/light has filled the air.
A door bursts open. A girl's reflection exposes partly. "Udinn, guys, quickly! Come in," her hands beckoning them inside.
They all escape swiftly into the door.
Sounds of the men's feet matching on the ground. "Where could they have gone! Quick, we can't lose them. We must catch them. They'll pay. Go, go, go," men shouting outside.
"Glad you guys are safe," a sigh escapes from her lips.
Moon Black stands by the wall. Uddin and Daisy sit on a small 3-foot bench, while Jullian Nova and the others stand.
"Who the hell are you?" Moon Black asks disrespectfully.
"You should know better than be ungrateful, you bitch," Uddin replies aggressively.
"Enough, she's my…" (Sil). Scar Face hesitates his statement.
"She's your?"
"Wife."
"What!?"
"Yeah, you heard me — I'm his wife," the girl says, as her voice trembles, eyes snapping.
"Scar Face!"
Scar Face averts his gaze. Tension folds; everyone in the room is surprised.
"Scar Face!! Tell us, when were you…"
"Enough! We're divorced!" Scar Face barks.
"No we're not," the girl says.
Scar Face marches away, his gaze fixed on the door.
"You're going nowhere, Mr," Uddin stands covering his way.
"Get out of my way. Right now!!" Scar Face's eyes rage like thunder as he pushes her away.
"We can't go outside, there are men out there," Uddin pleads.
