CARD #2121.32 – INVASION – 02.01.2121
From the Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos
FADE IN
(We see Commissioner Massif’s door at the arena. It is closed. The camera pans back and MONOLITH is standing outside, leaning against the wall. Waiting. The door opens and DARK MENACE comes out. Closes the door and looks up at MONOLITH.)
MONOLITH: Well?
DARK MENACE: Not good. He says he won’t give you a title shot until you prove yourself.
(MONOLITH turns and places both hands on the wall.)
DARK MENACE: Don’t worry.
MONOLITH: (Growls.)
DARK MENACE: I said, don’t worry. There are other ways.
(MONOLITH rears back and punches the wall with both fists. He turns sharply to DARK MENACE, stares at him and walks out of frame. When he’s gone we see that he has punched a whole through the concrete wall. The PAIGE is standing there covered in concrete dust. DARK MENACE looks at him and PAIGE looks back.)
DARK MENACE: You may want to clean this mess up.
(DARK MENACE walks out of frame.)

CUT TO: ANIMEN LOCKER ROOM
(ANTAK is once again taping up and the shower is once again running. A knock is heard.)
ANTAK: Enter.
(The PAIGE enters, still covered in concrete dust. He holds a large heart shaped candy box.)
ANTAK: Oh no. Not again.
PAIGE: Delivery for Plethador.
ANTAK: Plethador! (Pause.) HEY PLETHADOR!
PLETHADOR: WHAT? I’M IN THE SHOWER!
ANTAK: I know you’re in the shower! You’ve got another delivery.
(The shower shuts off immediately. PLETHADOR is instantly in the room, slipping as he enters. He drips all over everything and everyone.)
ANTAK: Hey watch it, you’re getting my trunks wet!
PLETHADOR (Ripping the box of chocolates from the PAIGE): Oooh goodie, candy! (He rips open the box. There’s a card.) “Dear Plethy, Even though you did not win, I’m still in love with your sweet little grin. These chocolate covered Miner Grubs will be tasty to bite, And may you have better luck tonight.” Chocolate Covered Miner Grubs! My favorite. (He grabs a handful and shoves them in his mouth as he walks out of frame and we hear the shower begin to run again.)
ANTAK: Absolutely disgusting.
(ANTAK slowly realizes that the PAIGE is still in the room. He turns and looks at him. The PAIGE smiles and holds out his hand. ANTAK regards him for a second and sighs. He then reaches into his pocket to pull out money for a tip.)
