Strikers/New Chapter

INT. A 1 FLOOR HOUSE - DAY - 12:00PM
Scene starts off inside a 1 floor house. We then see an ANT climbing on the walls of the house. The ant surfs through the living room that only has 2 couches and a small sized TV. Then it surfs through the kitchen. Kitchen is overflowing with dishes. The ant then starts crawling on the kitchen counters and make its way to the fridge handle. A hand comes on screen and smacks the ant, killing it. The hand then opens the fridge. The camera pans up from the dead ant that's laying on the ground and we get introduced to an 11 year old Chavez.
CHAVEZ: Nothing to eat...
Camera shows the fridge being emptier than a bag of air. Chavez was hungry and bored but his dad were there to give them their time of day to him. Chavez looks down, but then he remembers something...
CHAVEZ: Arella!
Chavez smiles and puts on his shoes and goes outside. Starts running to her house. Arella is a girl around Chavez age who lives down the street from Chavez. She is the only friend, Chavez has and the only person Chavez can find connection with. Chavez rings the door bell. A shot shows Chavez face.
INT./EXT. ARELLA HOUSE
Arella opens the door
ARELLA: Hey, Chavez! What are you doing here?!
CHAVEZ: I just wanted to-uh hang out with you! Oh also we need to work on our utopia!
ARELLA: Oh yea! Come on in!
Chavez enters Arella's house
INT. ARELLA'S HOUSE
He then sense a nice smell in the house, the smell of delicious brownies
ARELLA: Oh yea, I forgot to tell you I was making some brownies. Ma' taught me how to make them yesterday and I been practicing ever since. Wait-shit...
Arella realizes that she forgot she was making brownies up til' now and quickly rushes to the oven and open them.
ARELLA: Woo, they still good! Not burnt at all. Aye Chavez, can you pass me a knife.
Chavez finds a knife for Arella in the kitchen
ARELLA: Thanks! You sweet you know!
CHAVEZ:I-I uh can get the whiteboard in your room for our utopia.
Arella smiles
Chavez runs upstairs to Arella's room and in the room we see lots of posters of bands and musicians. Chavez then sees a stuffed animal teddy bear and picks it up. He then puts it back down. He then sees the whiteboard about their utopia, along with his crown and Arella's sunglasses hanging on the side of the whiteboard. He picks it up and head downstairs
Downstairs, Arella finished cutting the brownies into 12 squares. Chavez arrived with her whiteboard with all of their ideas of a utopia. Chavez puts on his crown with Chavez acting as a king and Arella puts on her sunglasses with her acting as a bodyguard. They eat some brownies and start coming up with ideas of a utopia.
CHAVEZ: Hm, I think we should make it a law that brownies should be our form of currency.
Chavez then eats a brownie.
ARELLA: Yea, but eh I don't know if it could work.
CHAVEZ: Yea you right, not everyone can cook like you!
ARELLA: Aw, thanks and no one can make me smile like you!
Chavez smiles.
Arella gets up from her seat, gets a napkin and wipes some brownie crumbs off her face. She picks up his marker and start pointing things on the whiteboard
ARELLA: Hmmmm. What else should we put in this utopia. We already got no school, life supply of ice cream sandwiches for us. Eliminate McDonald's burgers and replace the whole meal with their spicy nuggets and fries. What else?
Chavez starts thinking about the stuffed animal teddy bear he saw in Arella's room.
CHAVEZ: How about a teddy bear store, something where you could build your own teddy bear...build a bear work shop?
Arella drops her marker and was silent. Chavez was silent and a bit nervous.
ARELLA: HOLY SHITTTTT! THAT IDEA IS SO GOOD!
Arella immediately writes down the idea of a build a bear work shop on the whiteboard. The 2 start brainstorming more and more ideas, showing a montage of them constantly goofing around and before you know it....it was 5PM. Chavez was posing as a king and demanding orders
CHAVEZ (in a british accent attempting to be like a king): And now execute that witch.
Arella laughs and claps. She then looks at the clock.
ARELLA: Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!
CHAVEZ: Huh what's wrong?
ARELLA: I was suppose to get ready for ballet lessons today! Urgh I keep forgetting! My parents gonna be home in like 3 minutes!
ARELLA (Now acting as a bodyguard): Sorry Chavez but we need to finish this meeting of the Chavez and Arella's utopia, sir!
Arella kneels down and Chavez pats her head.
CHAVEZ: It's fine but you still better execute the witch!
Arella chuckles a bit.
ARELLA: Yes sir!
Arella then immediately goes upstairs as fast as she can to get ready for her lessons.
We then see a shot of Chavez standing all alone downstairs with the same crown on his head.
Chavez took the crown with him as he left Arella's house. He walked down the street to his own house. He opened the door and enter his house.
INT. CHAVEZ'S HOUSE
He then saw a roach on the ground.
CHAVEZ: Urgh, stupid roach!
Chavez chases the roach, trying to kill it. the roach ran and ran and it then enter Chavez's Dad room by entering a small crack in the doo. Chavez immediately open the door handle to his dad's room, not thinking his dad was home because he rarely was home. He walked into the room and he saw his dad having sex with a woman. Chavez lost sight of the roach and was staring at the sex.
Camera zooms in on Chavez's face, fast flashing shots of a woman jumping off a building occurs on screen. Chavez eyes widen.
CHAVEZ: Y-Y-You are betraying mom!
Suddenly, Chavez's dad turned around in Chavez, hearing what Chavez said.
CHAVEZ'S DAD: What the hell you looking at? Close the door and get out!
Chavez's dad threw a pillow at Chavez's head. Chavez tried to close the door fast so he couldn't get hit but he was too slow. The force of the pillow backed Chavez against the wall and Chavez hit his head on the wall. Chavez didn't say anything but then proceed to touch his head. His crown wasn't on him. He looked under the pillow his dad threw at him, his crown was crushed by the pillow.
That crown was a paper crown that him and Arella made together. Chavez was pissed, he didn't know how to control his anger or emotions. Chavez was gonna go in there and beat the shit out of his dad. He put his hand on the door knob. However, he looked down and knew he wasn't strong enough.
He just felt weak, it's the same insults, the same home, the same bad feeling. He felt like he is losing himself in this repetition.
Chavez took his broken crown to his room. He lays down on his bed, holding the broken crown.
CHAVEZ: Don't leave me...don't leave me...you the only one...don't leave me...don't leave me like mom...
INT. CHAVEZ'S DREAM UTOPIA - DAY
He starts having a vision, a vision of him being a king of this utopia looking city. He was sitting in this huge royal chair with Arella standing right beside him.
ARELLA: Chavez, you are amazing! How do you come up with this!
CHAVEZ: Heh heh. Well you know...
INT. CHAVEZ'S HOUSE - NIGHT
He constantly whispers to himself "Don't leave me", he is trying to hold onto his last piece of comfort.
He starts crying.
WE SEE A PICTURE FRAME OF CHAVEZ'S FAMILY ON HIS NIGHTSTAND THAT WAS NEXT TO HIS BED.
A hand covers the picture of Chavez's family and the hand picks up the picture frame. The hand accidentally drops the picture on the foor and the picture frame was face down.
INT. HUEY'S HOUSE - DAY
The hand flips over the picture and it turns out to be a different family. The glass in the picture frame has cracked. The camera then zooms out and we see a what seems to be a skinny teenager kneeling down. We can't fully see the teenager, it's like a silhouette due to the lights in the room being off with the blinders closing any light coming from the window. The teenager stands up and sees the crack in the picture frame.
THE TEENAGER: Damn it...
The door to the teenager's room opened. It was his sister, who seems to be in her early 20's who just finished college.
TEENAGER'S SISTER: You ready to go, Huey?
The door brought in some light on the teenager, we were able to see his face and the clothes he was wearing. The teenager's name was Huey. An African American 15 years old with an afro that resembles a character from the Boondocks who is named Huey Freeman. He was hearing a red hoodie with skinny black jeans on him and the shoes he was wearing were, black and red Jordans 12.
HUEY: I will be done in a minute.
Huey said that softly. Huey's sister nods and leaves the room as she doesn't want to disturb him. Huey is packing up his things. It appears to be that he is moving to somewhere else. He looks at the cracked picture of his family one last time and started having flashbacks.
These flashbacks shown Huey, his sister and his parents having fun. They went camping, went to a basketball game, went out to get ice cream cones. However, with each flashback there's a crack that is shown on the screen. The cracks grow and grow as we see more flashbacks. The flashbacks just feel like a blur, there never was a flashback without a crack.
Then we see a very clear image appearing inside of Huey's head of him at his parents funeral from a distance. The camera zooms into Huey slowly and Huey turns into a camera and Huey looked like a zombie...
We are outside of Huey's head and the flashbacks, Huey was shook of the images inside his head as his eyes were widen. Huey sits on his bed and starts breathing heavily, trying to calm down. However, he can't seem to get the image of his parents possibly dying inside his head. Him being a zombie at his family's funeral constantly popped up in his head. Huey decided to throw away the picture, he threw it at his garbage can. Huey takes a deep breath, he then stood up and proceeds to grab his luggage. He heads downstairs and meets with his Aunt.
HUEY'S SISTER: Hm, Huey? You ready to go?
HUEY: Do you have a picture of myself, mom and dad?
Huey's aunt lets out a smile and she reaches into her purse.
HUEY'S SISTER: Of course! I think I got one.
She gives Huey a picture that was him and his parents eating ice cream together. Huey looks at it and proceeds to put the picture inside of his wallet. Huey then grabs his luggage, walks past his Aunt without saying a word and leaves the house. He starts walking to his sister's car.
Huey's sister named Jaylin acknowledges and understands the silent treatment she was getting from Huey. She opened the truck so Huey could put his luggage inside. They both get inside the car. Jaylin then starts driving away from the house.
Finally, they arrived at Jaylin's apartment. Huey gets his luggage from the truck of the car and proceed to enter the building. They enter the elevator and went up to floor 3 which is the floor, Jaylin was staying.
INT. THE APARTMENT, FLOOR 3, MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS
They were walking to their apartment room. Jaylin looked at Huey, she noticed he was looking down. Using his left hand to drag the luggage and had his right hand in his black jeans pocket. She wanted to make Huey feel more comfortable at home, so she cleared his throat and began to talk.
JAYLIN: So, we staying at Apartment B, Room 109. My apartment isn't anything fancy but it's good enough to hold 2 people.
Huey continues looking down and being quiet.
JAYLIN: Hm, oh yea. Now that you are living with me until they find your parents. You are now zoned to a different school now, Jefferson High School. There are lots of kids your age who live in this apartment. So, it shouldn't be hard for you to make friends.
They arrived at the apartment room. Jaylin opened the door and they enter her apartment.
INT. JAYLIN'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS
JAYLIN: Woo, finally here!
Jaylin stretches her arms high up.
JAYLIN: Had to clean up a lot, before I brought you here. Follow me!
Huey follows his sister and he goes to where his bedroom is.
INT. JAYLIN APARTMENT - HUEY'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Huey's room appears to be what a regular bedroom would look like. Twin bed in the middle of the room, windows, and a closet. Also there is a desk in the corner of the room. Possibly for Huey to do his schoolwork.
HUEY: Thank you.
Jaylin smiles.
JAYLIN: Make yourself at home!
She's about to close the door to Huey's room but she then asks Huey one more thing.
JAYLIN: Wait, what do you want for dinner?
HUEY: Anything's fine.
Huey's sister nods and she closes the door and leaves Huey's room.
Huey is all alone in his room. He lays down on his bed. He didn't feel like unpacking. He didn't feel like doing anything. He just wants to know if his mom and dad are safe.
Huey is lost and struggling to process this emotion. Huey then took a quick look at his phone and headphones. He then grabs them and put them in the pocket of his hoodie. He then opens the door to his room.
INT. HUEY'S SISTER APARTMENT - KITCHEN
Huey's sister notices that Huey left his room and is approaching the front door.
HUEY: Can I just get some fresh air for a moment?
JAYLIN: You can, but I forgot to give this to you.
Jaylin hands Huey a key.
JAYLIN: That's your apartment key, please don't lose it.
Huey puts the key in his pocket and then leaves the apartment.
INT. THE APARTMENT, FLOOR 3, MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER
Huey is shown approaching the elevator, he presses the button for the elevator to rise to his floor but then...
Kid: Uh, Hey!
Huey looks behind him and it was a kid who is around his age. The kid was wearing a yellow shirt along with some basketball shorts and low top Nikes.
Kid: Hey, you just-huh? Y-You are Huey Porrolo! 
Kid backs up away from Huey. 
The elevator door opens
Huey smiles. 
HUEY: And don't you forget it, sissy. 
Huey enters the elevator and presses the button that closes the door on Michael.
Huey in the elevator was in a pose, having his feet up on the elevator wall and still had his hands in pockets. Huey began thinking ever since he heard the announcement of his parents missing.
INT. FLASHBACK POLICE STATION - NIGHT
It was a rainy night at a police station. Huey was there with other policemen. Huey was sitting at a table. Wearing a black shirt with a red zipper jacker that's around his waist. He was wearing blue jeans with high top white curry shoes. He is shown looking down. on the opposite side of the table, there was a police officer on a computer.
The policemen is shown on his walkie talkie, talking to an other policemen on it.
POLICEMEN #1: Really? No trace? No sight? No witness of his parents?
POLICEMENT #2 (ON WALKIE TALKIE): Afraid not.
POLICEMEN #1: Damn it.
The officer looks at Huey.
POLICEMEN #1: You sure, you gave us the right descriptions Porrolo.
HUEY: You think I'm lying?
POLICEMEN #1: We been looking all over the city and we cant find a single thing about them. It's like they vanish to thin air...you called your sister yet?
HUEY: Yea...
Huey pulls out his phone
HUEY: She said, she will be here in 5 minutes.
Huey puts his phone back in his pocket.
Police Men starts smiling
POLICEMEN #1: You know this is exactly what you deserve.
Huey doesn't respond, although his frustration is shown.
POLICEMEN #1: After all the trouble, you caused for us. It was about time. Your selfish attitude got your family involved. Maybe now, you will actually change. 
Huey is about to take the swing at the officer and then he notices his sister's car honking. 
POLICEMEN #1: Hmph. 
HUEY: What makes you think I won't swing at you again. 
POLICEMEN #1: Huey. You gotta start thinking about life a little more. You can be trialed as an adult now, so I recommend you grow a brain and start losing grudges. 
HUEY: Whatever. I will still beat the crap out of you, if my sister wasn't here. 
POLICEMEN #1: Sure, you would.
The officer goes back to being on his computer. Checking to see if he can find anything. Huey looks down at his pocket and his headphones are sticking out.
Huey plugs in his headphones to his phone and starts listening to a song.
EXT. OUTSIDE IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY - PRESENT DAY
The flashback is over and we see present day Huey, walking in the streets of New York City.
Smell of food is around the air. Street hot dogs stands everywhere and people were buying them and eating them.
Huey walks past them. He was wearing his headphones and was listening to a song...a very special song. The streets were very crowded and there was constant traffic. Huey looked around at the crowd and he noticed kids with their parents, lovers with their lovers, elders people with each other. They had each other. Huey closed his eyes while listening to the song. He gets a flashback.
INT. FLASHBACK - HUEY'S BEDROOM
Huey was in his bedroom, his mom was sitting in a chair. Singing the very special song to him. His mom finished the song and Huey was fast asleep. His mom kisses Huey on the cheek, smiles and leaves the room.
INT. PRESENT DAY - SUBWAY - DAY
The flashback ends and we see Huey laying down on a subway seat, looking at the picture of him and his parents that was inside his wallet. It was the picture his Aunt gave him. Huey was still listening to the song, Huey starts to smile. Huey puts his wallet in his pocket. The song ends.
Huey puts his headphones away and puts his phone in his pocket. Huey then starts to look outside the subway window. Getting a nice view of the city. However though, Huey didn't know where he was going. He just wanted a place where he could be fully alone with his music and just find the first empty subway he saw. He still feels lost.
Huey's wallet then slips out his pocket and Huey notices.
HUEY: Hm?
Huey was about to pick up his wallet but then...
A walking bullet picks up his wallet. It's the size of a normal bullet except it has arms, legs, and eyes...
BULLET #1: Haha! Easy money for boss!
Huey looks at the walking bullet, wondering what in the hell is going on.
Him and the bullet soon make eye contact.
BULLET #1: Uhhhhh?
Huey gets shocked and almost jump from his seat
HUEY: You can talk?
BULLET #1: You can see me?
Huey shakes his head in disbelief and in confusion
HUEY: The hell's going on here and why do you have my wallet?
BULLET #1: Uhhhh.
Then a guy who is on the subway train walks up to Huey
RANDOM GUY: Who the hell are you talking to?
Huey looks up at the guy
HUEY: You can't see this thing, a walking talking bullet?
Huey points at the bullet
Random guy looks at the ground and he sees Huey's wallet...floating
RANDDOM GUY: Oh shit, your wallet is floating bro!
HUEY: Oh yeah, I forgot we in New York. You guys are used to seeing this. 
The random guy took Huey's wallet but then...
RANDOM GUY: AHHHHHH! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! SOMETHING BITING ME!
Huey gets up from his seat, checking to see the guy is ok and he sees another walking talking bullet coming out from the guys pants.
BULLET #2: Aw man, dude needs to take a shower. Man stinks!
Bullet #2 was covering his mouth and then finds Bullet #1.
BULLET #2: Aye you got the wallet, number 1?
BULLET #1: Yea, but this guy is a striker!
Bullet 2 looks at Huey.
BULLET #2: Uh oh...UH OH! HE LOOKS TOUGH WE GOTTA RETREAT! RETREAT!
The subway train's door opened
BULLET #1 AND #2: ESCAPE, ESCAPE, ESCAPE!
The 2 bullets ran out the subway train door.
Huey looks around the subway train, seeing if there's anyone who could help the guy on the ground or who could see literally 2 walking bullets. However he looks and finds a couple making out through all of this and another guy sleeping through all of this.
Huey ran out of the subway train and as soon as he ran out of the train, the doors to the subway closed.
INT. SUBWAY TRAIN STATION
Huey starts chasing the bullets.
EXT. OUTSIDE IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY - CONTINUOUS'
We see people walking, yet a guy stands out. He is Hispanic. His hairstyle had a perm hairstyle. He was wearing a black shirt, gray joggers and was wearing Nike slides.
A walking talking bullet, like one of the things Huey saw on the train climbed on his left shoulder.
BULLET #3: Damn it! When are #1 and #2 going to be back? I am tired of waiting for them!
Another bullet comes on his right shoulder.
BULLET #4: Calm down, number 3. Forget patience is key.
A bullet appears on the guy's head.
