Thor: Ragnarok

This article, Thor, is property of Thor:Ragnarok/Transcript, find this article from Thor:Ragnarok/Transcript. I edit this article to add my characters in it.
===Tight Space===
(Fire.Nothing but fire.)
(Dark and cramped. The soft red light of fire seeps through iron slats.Inside this cage is a man, bound by chains.)
(It's THOR. His beard is long and his clothes are worn.That rough, grizzled look of a man who's spent years on the road.)
(He awakens with a JOLT.Looks around.)
Thor:Now I know what you're thinking.Oh no!Thor's in a cage.How this happen?(then:)Well, sometimes you have to get captured just to get a straight answer out of somebody.It's a long story but basically I'm a bit of a hero. See,I spent some time on earth, fought some robots, saved the planet a couple of times.Then I went searching through the cosmos for some magic, colorful Infinity Stone things... didn't find any.That's when I came across a path of death and destruction which led me all the way here into this cage...where I met you.
(Reveal that he's talking to a weird alien skeleton in chains.)
Thor:How much longer do you think we’ll be here?
(NOISE.Sounds of metal gears TURNING.)
(Suddenly the bottom DROPS OUT!Thor PLUMMETS until - SHLINK!Chains CINCH and abruptly halt his descent.Thor dangles six feet off the ground. Pull back to reveal we are in-)
===Surtur's Lair===
(A cavernous space.The walls, floors, and ceilings are molten rock, which has creepy glimmers of fire within it.Stationed in the center is a volcanic rock throne, and sitting in that throne is a charred demonic skeleton.)
Surtur:Thor, Son of Odin.
(Thor's chain turns to reveal-)
(-SURTUR on his throne.Eighteen-feet-tall, flesh made of fire, and demonic spiked horns on his skull.)
Thor:Surtur.Son of a bitch...you're still alive!I thought my father killed you, like, half a million years ago.
Surtur:I cannot die.Not until I fulfill my destiny and lay waste to your home.
Thor:You know, it's funny you should mention that because I've been having these terrible dreams of late.Asgard up in flames, falling
to ruins, and you Surtur are at the center of all of them.
Surtur:Then you have seen Ragnarok, the fall of Asgard.The great prophecy--
Thor:Hang on.Hang on.
(Reveal that Thor's chain is turning VERY SLOWLY.)
Thor:I’ll be back around shortly.I really feel like we were connecting there.
(After a beat,Thor rotates around to face Surtur.)
Thor:Okay,so,Ragnarok.Tell me about that.Walk me through it.
Surtur:My time has come.When my crown is reunited with the Eternal Flame,I shall be restored to my full might.I will tower over the mountains and bury my sword deep in Asgard’s--
Thor:Oh, hang on.Give it a second.
(Once again, Thor is turning VERY SLOWLY.)
Thor:I swear I'm not even moving, just doing this on its own.I'm really sorry.(then:) Okay, let me get this straight.You're going to put your crown into the Eternal Flame, and then you'll suddenly grow as big as a house--
Surtur:A mountain!
Thor:The Eternal Flame that Odin keeps locked away on Asgard?
(Surtur grins,evil.)
Surtur:Odin is not on Asgard.Your four students is know where to be find.And your absence has left the throne defenseless.
(That elicits a concerned look from Thor.)
Thor:Okay, so where is it? 
Thor:This crown?
Surtur:This is my Crown, the source of my power.
(Surtur points at the V-shaped horns on his head..)
Thor:Oh, that’s a crown?I thought it was a big eyebrow.
Surtur:It’s a crown.
Thor:Anyway, it sounds like all I have to do to stop Ragnarok is rip that thing off your head.
(Surtur stands up and approaches Thor, DRAGGING his sword.)
Surtur:But Ragnarok has already begun.You cannot stop it.I am Asgard’s doom, and so are you.All will suffer, all will burn.
(Surtur steps forward and GRABS the chain above Thor's feet, holding it so he and Thor are face to face.)
Thor:That's intense. To be honest, seeing you grow really big and set fire to a planet would be quite the spectacle. But it looks like I'm
going to have to go with option B where I bust out of these chains, knock that tiara off your head, and stash it away in Asgard's vault.
Surtur:You cannot stop Ragnarok.Why fight it?
(Behind his back, Thor opens his hand.Sending out the SOS.)
Thor:Because that’s what heroes do.
(Nothing happens.Thor appears annoyed at himself.)
Thor:Wait, sorry.I didn’t time that right.(pause)And, now!
(BOOM!Thor's hammer Mjolnir CRASHES through the wall!)
(Thor BREAKS FREE from his chains, GRABS Mjolnir, spins, and flies a distance away.He FLINGS Mjolnir back at Surtur, smashing the giant in the face. Mjolnir returns.)
Surtur:You have made a grave mistake, Odinson.
(THE WALLS COME ALIVE!A seemingly infinite swarm of FIRE DEMONS rally to Surtur's aid.)
Thor:I make grave mistakes all the time.Everything seems to work out.
(In the shadows, a massive FIRE DRAGON ROARS.)
(The fire demons SURGE FORWARD.Thor backs up, HAMMERING AWAY.He then leaps back, SPRINGBOARDS off the wall, and-)
(-LANDS HARD, SLAMMING Mjolnir down.The resulting shockwave KNOCKS BACK THE LEGION OF FIRE DEMONS.)
(The Fire Dragon strains against a chain leash.)
(Thor is now facing off with Surtur. Surtur thrusts his hands at Thor, generating a humongous PROJECTILE WALL OF FIRE!)
(Thor SPINS Mjolnir so fast that it creates a kind of SHIELD.)
(The God of Thunder and the Fire Giant engage in ferocious hand-to-hand combat.Each landing power shots, sending sparks of both fire and electricity into the air.)
(Thor SLIPS behind Surtur and TAKES OUT his knees.Thor then LAUNCHES HIGH into the air and summons a HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT.Descending hard, he uses all his power to-)
(-LOP SURTUR'S HEAD OFF OF HIS BODY! Surtur's body DEFLATES and COLLAPSES into a heap of charred bones.)
(Thor straps the crowned skull to his back. He turns to find-)
(-the army of Fire Demons regrouping as reinforcements flood in, filling the space to capacity. Recognizing the threat, Thor thrusts Mjolnir above his head.)
Thor:Heimdall.I know it's been a while but I could use a fast exit!
(Nothing.Thor just stands there as the Fire Demons advance.)
Thor:...Heimdall?
===The Observatory===
(Heimdall is nowhere to be found. Instead, we meet SKURGE.He's bald, strong, mean looking, a little eager to be liked.)
(At the moment, Skurge is entertaining two ASGARDIAN WOMEN.)
Skurge:Heimdall was an idiot.This job should have made him rich.Now, the job ain't easy, but it does have its benefits.The Bi-Frost
gives me access to everything the Nine Realms have to offer.I mean it's all mine for the taking.(beat)Behold...my stuff.
(Skurge has drawn their attention to a pile of weapons and treasures he has stashed off to the side.)
(He hefts up two M-16 assault rifles, trying to play it cool.)
Skurge:I'm particularly fond of these.I pulled `em out of a place on Midgard called Texas.I even named them.Des and Troy.You see, when
you put them together...they destroy.)
===Surtur's Lair===
(Having expected to have been Bi-Frosted out of there,Thor is overrun by the giant wave of Fire Demons!)
(The Fire Dragon BREAKS FREE of its chain.)
(Realizing he's in trouble, Thor TAKES OFF, rocketing up to-)
===Muspelheim===
(Thor CRASHES out of the ground and LANDS on a craggy surface.Disoriented and singed from the fire demon onslaught.)
(Thor's cloak is on fire, and he frantically PATS OUT the flames. He picks up Mjolnir, holds it up once more.Nothing.)
Thor:Heimdall, come on.
(THE GROUND SHAKES! Like an earthquake.Thor backs up as the ground begins to give way all around him. And then-)
(-THE FEARSOME FIRE DRAGON BURSTS OUT OF THE GROUND! The dragon opens its tremendous jaws for an ear-splitting roar...)
(...but Thor STUFFS Mjolnir into its mouth and let's go.)
(THUD! The hammer DROPS, pinning the beast down by its bottom jaw. It THRASHES and GROWLS, trying to break free.)
Thor:Stay.(looks up to the sky) I’m running short on--
(Thor notices that all around him the ground is CRUMBLING like a field of sinkholes giving way to more snarling Fire Demons!)
Thor:-options.
(Thor calls for Mjolnir and TAKES OFF.The dragon SCREECHES!)
===The Observatory===
(Skurge continues showing off for the ladies.)
Thor:Heimdall?
(Behind Skurge the Bi-Frost starts MOVING.One of the women notices the Bi-Frost glowing.)
Asgardian Women:Skurge, is that important?
(Skurge turns and notices the Bi-Frost activity.)
Skurge:You girls are in for a treat.
(Angle on Heimdall's sword, which has been sloppily cast aside in another pile of "stuff." Skurge hastily runs and grabs it.)
 
===Muspelheim===
(Thor is FLYING at top speed, but that dragon is right on his heels!The fire demons launch flaming projectiles from below!)
(Thor looks back, genuinely nervous.The dragon is OPENING its jaws to swallow Thor whole when-)
(-Suddenly Bi-Frost OPENS! The portal surrounds Thor and engulfs the dragon's head! In an instant, they're gone.
===The Observatory===
(Skurge has plunged Heimdall’s sword into Bi-Frost.)
(Boom!Thor EXPLODES out of the portal along with the severed head of the dragon! SPLAT! Blood and guts rain down on Skurge and the two women, drenching them with purple gore.)
(The dragon's head SLIDES slowly across the floor, coming to rest right in front of the women who are frozen in shock.)
(The women SHRIEK and rush out of the Observatory.Thor meanwhile is clean and staggering back to his feet.He looks up to Skurge, who is wiping dragon guts off of himself.)
Skurge:Girls!(beat)Well well, look who decided to pop in.Thanks for scaring away my company and drenching my workplace in brains.
Thor:Who are you?
SkurgeDon't you remember?I'm Skurge.(Thor doesn't)We fought together on Vanaheim.
Thor:Right.Where's Heimdall?
Skurge:That traitor.No one knows, he's a fugitive of the throne.
Thor:Traitor?
Skurge:Yeah, you see, Odin charged Heimdall with negligence of duty, but he disappeared before the trial.Hard to catch a guy who can
see everything in the Universe.
(Thor starts to say something, but then gives up.Instead he starts towards the exit...but Skurge stands in his way.)
Thor:Sure.
Skurge:Hold on.I’m supposed to announce your arrival.
(Thor spins up Mjolnir and takes off in a blur.Skurge starts the loooong run down the Rainbow Bridge.)
===Theater Entrance===
(Thor arrives with Surtur’s skull.)
(There's a small crowd making its way through a threshold over which stands a monumental statue of Loki, arms out-stretched in the `savior' pose.)
(Confused,Thor turns to a theater patron.)
Thor:What the hell is that?
===Asgard Royal Terrace Patio===
(LOKI falls into frame, GASPING FOR BREATH... although it's not Loki.This is ACTOR LOKI and we're watching a STAGE PLAY.)
(In the background, a single musician plays the haunting score from Thor:The Dark World on a pan flute.)
(Suddenly, ACTOR THOR leans into shot, holding Actor Loki.)
Actor Loki:Oh, brother.This is it.I take my leave.
Actor Thor:You fool, you didn’t listen!
Actor Loki:I’m sorry.
Actor Thor:Lady Sif!Get help!
("Sif" awkwardly runs off.The "Warriors Three", "Tharic", "Star-Lord" (a different Star-Lord), "Mystic Thor" and "Mighty Guardian Thor" watch sadly.A small choir joins in as the music builds to a crescendo.)
Actor Sif:Somebody help!
(In the middle of the audience we reveal ODIN, sitting upon a chaise lounge, sipping wine and thoroughly enjoying the show. Unseen, Thor arrives behind the audience and watches.)
Actor Loki:Sorry for all I’ve done.
Actor Thor:It’s all right.Hold on.
Actor Loki:I’m sorry I tried to rule Earth.
Actor Thor:They’d be lucky to have you.
Actor Loki:I’m sorry about that thing with the Tesseract.I just couldn’t help myself.
Actor Thor:I know.
Actor Loki:I’m a trickster.
Actor Thor:So mischievous.
Actor Loki:Sorry about that time I turned you into a frog.
Actor Thor:It was a wonderful joke.
Odin:(to no-one in particular)Twas indeed hilarious.
Actor Thor:You are the savior of Asgard.
Actor Loki:Tell my story.
Actor Thor:I will.
Actor Loki:Build a statue for me.
Actor Thor:We will build a big statue for you.
Actor Loki:With my helmet on, with the big bendy horns.
Actor Thor:I will tell father what you did here today.
(Odin mouths Actor Loki’s final line along with him.)
Actor Loki:I didn’t do it for him.
(Actor Loki then “dies”.)
Actor Thor:Noooooo!!!
(The brothers freeze in a TABLEAU as ACTOR ODIN steps forward.)
Actor Odin:And so Loki died of his wounds, giving his life for ours.He fought back those disgusting dark elves.He brought peace to the realm.
(He takes a 4-YEAR-OLD BOY, PAINTED BLUE, into his arms.)
Actor Odin:Loki, my boy...‘Twas many moons ago I found you on a frost-bitten battlefield.
(Thor watches, incredulous.He then notices that a woman next to him is openly SOBBING at the play.)
Actor Odin:On that day, I did not yet see in you Asgard’s savior.No.You were merely a little blue baby icicle...that melted this old fool’s heart.
(The crowd erupts in rapturous applause. The players bow. Odin stands up, leading the crowd in this STANDING OVATION.)
Odin:Bravo!Bravo!Well done.Bravo.
Thor:Father.
(Odin sees Thor taking a knee.Curses under his breath:)
Odin:Oh, shit. (then, announcing) My son!Thor has returned!Greetings my boy.
(Odin goes through a weird internal transformation.His fluidity is replaced by a rigid and regal posture.He bats away his maiden and turns to Thor, who stands up.)
Thor:It’s an interesting play.What’s it called?
Odin:The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard.The people wanted to commemorate him.
Thor:Indeed they should. (provoking) I like that statue.A lot better looking than he was when he was alive, though.A little less weasely. Less greasy maybe.
(Odin sours, masking his agitation.Thor holds up the skull.)
Thor:You know what this is?
Odin:The skull of Surtur?
Odin:That’s a formidable weapon.
(Thor approaches an E-Guard and hands it over.)
Thor:Do me a favor.Lock this in a vault so it doesn’t turn into a giant monster and destroy the whole planet.
Odin:So it’s back to Midgard for you, is it?
(Thor starts YO-YOing Mjolnir, turns back to Odin.)
Thor:Nope.I’ve been having this reocurring dream lately.
Thor:Every night I see Asgard fall into ruins...
Odin:That's just a silly dream...Signs of an overactive imagination.
Thor:Possibly...but then I decide to go out there and investigate.And what do I find, but the Nine Realms completely in chaos.Enemies of Asgard assembling, plotting our demise, all while you, Odin, the protector of those Nine Realms, are sitting here in your bathrobe, eating grapes.
Odin:Well, it is best to respect our neighbors’ freedom.
Thor:Of course, the freedom to be massacred.
Odin:Yes, besides, I have been rather busy myself.
Thor:Watching theatre.
Odin:Board meetings, and security council meetings...
Thor:You really going to make me do it?
Odin:Do what?
(Thor SPINS Mjolnir and then HURLS it off into the distance, GRABS Odin by the back of the neck.)
(Odin's royal attendants GASP in shock. The Einherjar bodyguards rush Thor, but he KICKS them away.)
Thor:You know that nothing will stop Mjolnir as it returns to my hand.
(Mjolnir stops mid-air and starts ROCKETING BACK.)
Thor:Not even your face.
Odin:You’ve gone quite mad.You’ll be executed for this!
(Mjolnir approaches at a terrifying speed as Odin struggles.)
Thor:Then I’ll see you on the other side...brother.
(The jig is up.A shimmering illusion dissipates, revealing:)
Loki:Alright,I yield!
(Thor DROPS Loki to the ground and catches Mjolnir.Loki looks to Thor, hands up defensively.Skurge arrives on the scene, a little late to warn Loki.)
Skurge:Behold!Thor..Odinson.
Loki:You had one job!Just the one.
Thor:Where’s Odin, Tharic, Star-Lord and Mighty Guardian Thor?
Loki:You just couldn’t stay away, could you? 
Loki:Everything was fine without you.Asgard was prospering (gestures to the crowd) You’ve ruined everything.Ask them.
(Those who aren’t freaked out are becoming gradually angrier.)
(Thor advances on Loki, who backs up onto the chaise lounge.)
Thor:Where’s father and where's my students?Did you kill them?
Loki:You had what you wanted, you had the independence you asked for!
(Thor PRESSES Mjolnir onto Loki's chest.)
Loki:Ow-ow-ow!Alright!I know exactly where he is and I don't know where your students are.
===Shady Acres Nursing Home - Manhattan===
(A NURSING HOME sign on a brick wall. Suddenly the wall crumbles out of shot, revealing a demolition site.)
(Reveal Thor and Loki wearing street clothes.Thor carries an umbrella, Loki is dressed in a weird avant-garde suit.)
Loki:I swear, I left him right here.
Thor:Right here on the sidewalk?Or right there, where the building that’s being demolished?Great planning.
Loki:How was I supposed to know?Can’t see into the future.I’m not a witch.
Thor:Then why do you dress like one?
Loki:Hey.
Thor:I can't believe you're alive.I saw you die.I mourned you, I cried form you.
Loki:I’m honored.
College Girl 3 and 2:Ask him.
College Girl 1:Hi.Would you mind taking a picture with us?
Thor:Sure. (to Loki:) Start figuring out where he is.
College Girl 1:Oh,my god.
College Girl 2:Sorry to hear that Jane dumped you.
Thor:She didn’t dump me, you know.I dumped her.It was a mutual dumping.
College Girl 3:Did you move from on from Jane dumping you with Mighty Guardian Thor.
Thor:No and I will never date my student.
(Thor notices something going on around Loki.)
Thor:What’s this,what are you doing!?
(Loki looks down to see that the sidewalk has started to GLOW BENEATH HIM! A circle of ancient symbols.)
Loki:This...isn’t me.
(WHOOMPF!Loki DROPS out of sight, vanishing through solid concrete!Thor sees a CARD on the sidewalk where Loki was.)
(Thor pokes the business card.)
Thor:Loki?
(He picks up the card.It reads:) 
(177A Bleecker Street)
(Thor picks up the card and - WHOOSH!)
===Sanctum Sanctorum===
(Thor approaches 177A Bleecker Street.)
(He knocks ONCE, TWICE, and then WHOOSH!)
===Sanctum Sanctorum Upstairs Parlor===
(Thor is suddenly inside Doctor Strange’s lair!)
Strange:Thor Odinson.
(From a dark corner we glimpse a shape - DOCTOR STRANGE. Levitating, he drifts towards Thor.)
Strange:God of Thunder.
(Thor holds up the ratty umbrella, ready to defend himself.)
Strange:You can put down the umbrella.
(Thor gives Strange a sideways look but then sets his umbrella down.When he looks back up, the environment is furnished.)
Thor:So earth has wizards now?
Strange:The preferred term is “Master of the Mystic Arts.”
Thor:Alright wizard, who are you?Why should I care?
Strange:My name is Doctor Stephen Strange and I have some questions for you.Take a seat.
(Thor and Strange are now sitting in high-backed chairs.)
Strange:Tea?
(Thor now has a cup of tea in his hand.)
Thor:I don’t drink tea.
Strange:What do you drink?
Thor:Not tea.
(Thor now has a stein of beer in his hand.He keeps drinking, but it always stays full.)
Strange:So I keep a watch list of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world.Your adopted brother Loki is one of these beings.
Thor:He’s a worthy inclusion.
Strange:Then why bring him here?
Thor:We’re looking for my father and I was hoping that I will find my three students here.
Strange:So.If you were to tell you where Odin was, all parties concerned would promptly return to Asgard?
Thor:Promptly.
Strange:Great.Then I'll help you and your students are on a different planet.
Thor:If you knew where he was and my students, why didn't you call me?
Strange:I have to tell you, he was adamant that he not be disturbed.Your father said he had chosen to remain in exile.Your students don't want to be found. (beat) And you don't have a phone.
Thor:No, I don't have a phone, but you could have sent an electronic letter.It's called an email.
Strange:Yeah, do you have a computer?
Thor:No. What for? (beat) Anyway, my father is no longer in exile.So if you could tell me where he is, I can take him home and what planet my students are on.
Strange:Gladly.He's in Norway.Your students are know longer on that different planet.
(Strange stands up and suddenly they are standing by a book- case.Strange takes down an ancient book, flips through it.)
Strange:I'm just seeing whether this incantation requires any Asgardian modifications.
(Thor reaches out to the bookcase to steady himself.)
Strange:Nope.
(Suddenly they are both across the room at Strange's work station.Because Thor was touching the bookcase, he has magically brought it across the room as well.)
Strange:Oh, we don't need that.
(Suddenly Thor is back across the room.Books fall off the shelf and Thor's beer spills.)
(He is queasy and unsteady from the teleporting.)
Thor:Will you stop doing that?
Strange:I need just one strand of your hair.
Thor:Let me explain something, my hair is not to be meddled wi-!
(Strange is behind Thor, he plucks a strand of hair.)
(Strange extends the hair, infuses it with magic, does a few gestures that create a BRIGHT LIGHT and suddenly-)
===Sanctum Sanctorum Front Staircase===
(Bottom of the stairs.Strange is standing.Thor is rolling down the stairs.A magic portal leading into a peaceful meadow has opened beside Strange.)
Thor:We could have just walked.
Strange:(re: the portal) He's waiting for you.
Thor:All right.
Strange:Don't forget your umbrella.
Thor:Yes.
(Thor extends his arm and holds out his hand.Crashing noises are heard. Lots of crashing noises.)
Thor:Sorry.
(Finally the umbrella flies into his hand.)
Thor:I suppose I'll need my brother back.
Strange:Yeah, right.
(Suddenly we hear SCREAMING.)
(From above, LOKI drops out of a portal.He LANDS HARD on the floor and then STAGGERS to his feet.On edge, confused.)
Loki:...I have been falling...for thirty minutes!
Strange:(to Thor:) You can handle him from here.
Thor:Yeah of course. (they shake hands) Thank you very much for your help.
Strange:Good luck.
Loki:Handle me?Who are you?
Thor:Loki.
(Loki DRAWS a dagger, ready to attack Strange.)
Loki:..you think you're some kind of sorcerer?Don't think for one minute, you second-rate...
Strange:Bye-bye.
(Strange GESTURES with both hands and-)
(-WHOOSH!PULLS the magic portal over them.)
(Just like that, Thor and Loki are gone.)
===Cliffs===
(Beautiful, undisturbed nature.We hear the ocean nearby.)
(LOKI lands on the ground, portal closes behind them.)
Thor:Father?
(A lone figure stands at the other side of the meadow at the cliff's edge, waves CRASHING below.)
(It is ODIN.He's dressed plainly in humble human clothes.The boys approach him quickly.)
Odin:Look at this place.It's beautiful.
Thor:Father, it's us.
Odin:My sons.I've been waiting for you.
(Loki is surprised to hear Odin call him his son.)
Thor:I know.We've come to take you home.
Odin:Home, yes.Your mother, she calls me.Do you hear it?
(Thor fires a look at Loki, who holds up his hands in defense.)
Thor:Loki, lift your magic.
(Odin turns to Loki, who stiffens.But Odin smiles.)
Odin:Took me quite a while to break free from your spell.Frigga would have been proud.
(Loki is moved by this gesture.He looks over to see Thor staring at him, anger building.)
(Odin puts a hand on Thor's shoulder, calming him.)
Odin:Come and sit with me.I don't have much time.
(Odin sits, out of breath, weak.His sons sit beside him.)
Thor:I know that we failed you, but we can make this right.
Odin:I failed you. (beat) It is upon us...Ragnarok.
Thor:No, I've stopped Ragnarok.I put an end to Surtur.
Odin:No.It has already begun. She's coming.My life was all that held her back, but my time has come.I cannot keep her away any longer.
Thor:Father, who are you talking about?
Odin:The Goddess of Death.Hela.My first born. (faces Thor) Your sister.
(That hits Thor hard.Loki can't believe what he's hearing.)
Thor:...what?
Odin:Her violent appetites grew beyond my control.I couldn't stop her, so I imprisoned her.Locked her away.She draws her strength from
Asgard...and once she gets there, her powers will be limitless.
Thor:Whatever she is, we can stop her.We can face her together.
Odin:(takes Thor's hand) No we won't.I'm on a different path now.This you must face alone.
(Odin looks into Thor's eyes, struggling to breathe.)
Odin:I love you my sons.
(For the briefest of instances, father and sons share a quiet moment together.Tears well in Thor's eyes.)
Odin:Look at that.
(Ethereal sun-rays stream down upon the ocean.)
Odin:Remember this place.Home.
(A warm glow washes over Thor's face and he turns to see that-)
(-ODIN IS DISSIPATING INTO STARDUST.THE ALLFATHER HAS DIED.)
(A moment as the brothers separately mourn for Odin.)
(The sky above DARKENS and THE WIND PICKS UP.)
(Thor stands and turns toward Loki, his eyes burning with rage.Loki takes a step back.)
Loki:Brother.
(Thor faces Loki.Electricity CRACKLES at Thor's hands.)
Thor:This was your doing.
(CRACK!Behind them a black portal SPLITS OPEN!)
(Thor SLAMS DOWN his umbrella, transforming into his Asgardian armor (with Mjolnir). Loki changes into his armor as well.)
(A piercing scream cuts the air as a figure is hurtled out of the portal, crashing out of this dimensional rift is HELA.)
(Hela takes a second to consider her surroundings.Then:)
Hela:So he's gone? (beat) That's a shame.I would've like to have seen that.
(A tense moment as they stare each other down.)
Thor:You must be Hela.I'm Thor, son of Odin.
Hela:Really, you don't look like him.
Loki:Perhaps we can reach an arrangement.
Hela:You sound like him.
(Loki shifts nervously.Thor's grip tightens on Mjolnir.)
Hela:Kneel.
Loki:Beg your pardon?
(Hela MANIFESTS a pitch black blade.)
Hela:Kneel...before your Queen.
Thor:I don't think so.
(Thor winds up and HURLS Mjolnir at Hela...)
(- THUD - the mighty hammer comes to a cold stop, against Hela's hand.)
(Thor is shocked.He stretches out his hands, trying to call Mjolnir back to him.)
(The hammer trembles in Hela's hand, like a mini game of tug-o-war.But ultimately Hela keeps possession.)
Thor:It's not possible.
Hela:Darling, you have no idea what's possible.
(HELA SHATTERS THOR'S HAMMER.)
(The blast of Mjolnir's destruction sends a wave of energy through Thor and Loki who brace themselves against the impact.)
(Thor is stupefied.In shock.He looks up to see Hela is running her hands back over her head to create the terrifying battle headdress.)
(Loki's reaction is more panic.He stands and calls up:)
Loki:Bring us back!
Thor:No!!
(Hela CHARGES Thor and Loki as-)
(-WHOOSH!The Bi-Frost envelopes all of them.)
===Bi-Frost===
(Thor and Loki ZOOM UPWARDS, held inside this celestial beam warping them towards Asgard.Loki and Thor look down to see... Hela is in the Bi-Frost, behind them and CATCHING UP.)
(Loki turns and throws TWO DAGGERS at her.They find their mark, stalling her for a second.But she PLOWS RIGHT THROUGH Loki, KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE BI-FROST.Gone in an instant.)
Thor:Loki!
(Hela projects a jet black grappling hook and GRABS HOLD of Thor.Drawing him to her, preparing to finish him off.Thor pulls up his legs, and KICKS Hela with both feet.This effectively dislodges him from her grasp but also...)
(...KNOCKS THOR OUT OF THE BI-FROST! Now both he and Loki are gone.If they aren't dead, then God knows where they went.)
===The Observatory===
(VOLSTAGG has a grip on Heimdall's sword, manning Bi-Frost's controls.Behind him FANDRAL is overseeing Skurge, who is mopping up the dragon guts.)
(BOOM!Hela emerges with thunderous impact.Fandral and Volstagg draw their weapons, preparing to engage.)
Volstagg:Who are you!?What have you done with Thor?
(Hela fires TWO BLACK DAGGERS, each one dropping its target to the ground. Hela then walks forward and-)
Hela:I'm Hela.
(-BRUTALLY KILLS FANDRAL AND VOLSTAGG!)
(Hela sees Skurge.Approaches calmly, a vision of death.)
(With Hela only a few feet from him, Skurge cowers.Pause.)
Skurge:I'm just a janitor.
(Skurge ever-so-slightly peers up at her.)
Hela:You look like a smart boy with good survival instincts.How would you like a job?)
(Hela looks out upon Asgard as Skurge rises behind her.)
===Asgard - The Mountains===
(A mysterious HOODED FIGURE watches Hela's arrival at the Observatory and begins a steady descent towards the city.)
===Sakaar - The Wasteland Shore===
Super Wide:A sky full of WORMHOLES.Thor, only a spec at this distance, SHOOTS out of one of these wormholes.He HITS the surface, causing a CLOUD of dust.
(Find Thor on his back surrounded by strange colorful space wreckage.Looking up, Thor sees a large metal object falling from a different wormhole! He rolls out of the way.THUD!)
(Thor runs up a dune to get away from the shower of debris.)
(Thor reaches the top of the dune and finds himself looking down on A BEACH in a strange WASTELAND.Camera scans a filthy dune littered with SPACE JUNK.)
(Out across the OCEAN he notices A NIGHTMARE WORMHOLE - a giant open cylinder of whirling smoke and lightning storms.)
(A loud noise draws Thor's attention to a HUGE RECTANGULAR "SCRAPPER" SHIP hauling a crashed SPACE VESSEL out of the water.Beneath the ship are various SCRAPPERS, masked humanoids.The ship is BLASTING WEIRD ALIEN MUSIC.)
(A Scrapper notices Thor, then signals to his crew.)
Lead Scrapper:Are you a fighter or are you food?
Thor:I'm just passing through.
Lead Scrapper:It is food. On your knees.
(Thor reaches out to summon Mjolnir.A reflex.Nothing.)
(The LEAD SCRAPPER levels a MAGNO-RIFLE at Thor and WHAP! A solid metal projectile KNOCKS Thor flat on his back. More Scrappers attack, throwing nets and firing more projectiles. Thor tries to swat them away but they keep coming. The rest of the scrappers move in with iron bats and clubs.)
(WHOOSH!A second ship arrives, landing nearby. It's cool, sleek, and dangerous, deserving of its name:WARSONG.It is also BLASTING DIFFERENT WEIRD ALIEN MUSIC.)
(The FRONT of Warsong FLIPS OPEN and a GANGPLANK extends down to the ground.The scrappers stop and stare as we TRACK IN to a HERO REVEAL of SCRAPPER #142 (S142 for short) - a beautiful and ruthless asskicker.)
(S142 lifts a half-empty bottle to her lips and CHUGS it.She finishes the bottle and smashes it on the side of her ship.)
Scapper #142:He's MINE.
(She walks down the gangplank... before veering off course and FALLING straight off into a pile of TRASH.She's PLASTERED.)
(The Scrappers shrug and start hauling Thor away.)
Scapper #142:Wait!
(S142 staggers to her feet, takes a deep breath.She holds on to a piece of junk as support - some dead beast.Thor continues to struggle with his captors, tangled in nets.)
Scapper #142:Wait!He's mine.So if you want him, you go through me.
(The Scrappers start brandishing their weapons.)
Scrapper:But we've already got him.
(S142 CLANGS her metal gauntlets together which activate.)
Scapper #142:Alright then I guess I go through you.
Lead Scrapper:More food.
(She holds out her fists as if she's operating machinery...)
(...Warsong WHIRS to life. S142 clenches her fists and we hear a horrible SCREECHING NOISE as Warsong OPENS FIRE.)
(She sweeps her arms out in an arc, the spray of gunfire lasting THREE SECONDS.She bangs her fists again, sending the ship into IDLE MODE.The Scrappers are now little more than tiny pieces of litter covering the beach.)
(Thor is fixated on this beautiful murderer approaching.One final HUGE Scrapper comes at her with a bat.S142 casually GRABS this Scrapper and HURLS him up into the air behind her.)
Thor:Thank you.
(From her belt S142 FLICKS a small glowing disc which LODGES into Thor's NECK.Far in the background, the Scrapper she threw finally HITS the ground with a loud THUD.)
(She holds up a fob device and presses the button - the disc blinks and Thor is filled with the pain of a thousand screaming squirrels.He hits the ground, stunned.)
(S142 DRAGS Thor towards her ship.)
===Warsong Ship===
(Thor's face SMUSHED up against glass.His eyes are open.)
(Thor's POV - THE CAPITAL - an eclectic city composed of salvaged items from all over the universe.)
(Thor is lying in a sort of small GLASS HOLDING CELL beneath Warsong's COCKPIT.He looks up to see S142 piloting the ship.)
(Thor's eyes lock in on her belt, specifically the fob device she used to activate the Obedience Disk/debilitate him.)
Scapper #142:This is Scrapper 142.I need clearance and an audience with the boss.I've got something special.)
Thor:Hey!Where are you taking me?
(S142 ignores him, takes a swig from the bottle, and then nonchalantly UNCLIPS the fob from her belt.)
Thor:Answer me!Hey! I am Thor, son of Odin.I need to get back to Asgard.
Scapper #142:Many apologies, your majesty.
(S142 ZAPS him and guides her ship towards a COLOSSAL TOWER.)
====Outskirts Of Asgard===
Close On: Hela, headdress retracted, hair down, her beautiful face fully visible.We do not see who she is talking to.
Hela:It's come to my attention that you don't know who I am.
(REVEAL THE ARMIES OF ASGARD FACING DOWN HELA.)
(Standing in front is HOGUN, sword and shield out.)
Hela:I am Hela, Odin's first born, Commander of the legions of Asgard, the rightful heir to the throne, and the Goddess of Death.
(pause for effect) (MORE)
Hela:My father is dead.As are the princes.You're welcome. (then:) We were once the seat of absolute power in the Cosmos.Our supremacy was unchallenged, yet Odin stopped at Nine Realms.Our destiny is to rule over all others.And I am here to restore that power.Kneel before me...and rise into the ranks of my great conquest.
(THE E-GUARDS GET INTO ATTACK FORMATION.)
Hogun:Whoever you are... whatever you've done, surrender now!Or we will show you know mercy.
Hela:Whoever I am? Did you listen to a word I said?
Hogun:This is your last warning!
Hela:I thought you'd be happy to see me.
(Hela forms her headdress.)
Hela:Fine.
(The Asgardian archers LOOSE DOZENS OF ARROWS, but-)
(-Hela advances confidently, DESTROYS the SHIPS and SOARS INTO THE EINHERJAR! In a symphony of spectacular terror, Hela proceeds to DECIMATE the entire regiment.A tornado of carnage, a legendary massacre.
===Blow The Rainbow Bridge===
(While Hela slaughters up above, we tilt up from a boat, moored at the base of the Observatory, to see the mysterious figure from earlier is now SCALING the rocks towards the top.
===The Observatory===
(Now silhouetted in the entrance way, the figure scans the Observatory.His gaze falls on-)
(-Bi-Frost's controls. Specifically Heimdall's sword.)
===Outskirts Of Asgard===
(It's eerily quiet.CLOSE on Hela scanning the battlefield.100+ slain Einherjar at her feet.)
(ANGLE on Skurge as he steps forward - awe, admiration, fear.)
Hela:Oh, I've missed this. Still, it's a shame.Good soldiers dying for nothing...all because they couldn't see the future.Sad (then she sees:) Oh! Look, still alive.
(Reveal Hogun, severely injured but staggering to his fee resilient.)
Hela:Change of heart?
(Hogun draws a dagger as a last ditch attack.)
Hogun:Go back to whatever cave you crept out of you evil demoness!
(Hela IMPALES Hogun on a spike.She turns to Skurge.)
Hela:Let's go see my palace.
(Skurge stares at Hogun before following Hela towards the palace.)
===Dark Tunnel===
(THOR, strapped to the chair, suddenly finds himself slowly moving forward. After a beat-)
(-the walls LIGHT UP and a SOOTHING VOICE speaks to him.)
Soothing Voice:Fear not, for you are found.You are home, and there is no going back.No one leaves this place.
(Thor STRUGGLES against his restraints.)
Soothing Voice:But what is this place?The answer in Sakaar.
(The tunnel walls show images of Sakaar's place in the Cosmos.)
Soothing Voice:Surrounded by cosmic gateways, Sakaar lives on the edge of the known and unknown.
(Images of the wormholes that cover Sakaar's atmosphere.)
Soothing Voice:It is the collection point for all lost and unloved things.Like you.But here on Sakaar, you are significant.You are valuable.
Here, you are loved.
Thor:What...the hell?
Soothing Voice:And no one loves you more than the Grandmaster.
(Images of the Grandmaster, in silhouette, arriving on Sakaar.)
Soothing Voice:He is the original. The first lost, and the first found.The creator of Sakaar and the father of the Contest of Champions.
(Images of the arena where aliens battle to the death.)
Soothing Voice:Where once you were nothing, now you are something.You are the property of the Grandmaster. (then:) Congratulations!You will meet the Grandmaster in five seconds.
(Images around the tunnel begin speeding up. Chaos, violence, and confusion mixed in with Grandmaster's face.)
(Thor, already bewildered, looks on the verge of panic.)
Soothing Voice:Prepare yourself.Prepare yourself.You are now meeting the Grandmaster.
(Thor SCREAMS!)
===Grandmaster's Chambers===
(Suddenly Thor is somewhere else, surrounded weirdos and insanely dressed palace guards.)
(His scream dies down self-consciously.)
(A musical beat PLAYS in the background.)
(THE GRANDMASTER, a tall mysterious man in golden robes.He is looking right at us.He doesn't know what to make of us.He's curious, thrilled, revolted, and titillated.
(Pulling back we see TOPAZ, his trusty guard, at his side.Two GOLDEN LADIES loiter off to the side.Other strange guests can be seen in the background.Grandmaster just stares.)
(S142 stands beside Grandmaster.Finally:)
Grandmaster:He's wonderful. (then:) It is a he?
(Reveal S142 standing beside Thor.)
Scapper #142:It's a he.
Grandmaster:Yeah.I love when you come to visit 142, you bring me the best stuff. (to Topaz:) Whenever we get to talking, Topaz, about Scrapper 142...what do I always say? "She is the..." and it starts with a B.
Topaz:Trash.
Grandmaster:No, not trash.Were you waiting just to call her that?It doesn't start with a "B."
Topaz:Booze hag.
Grandmaster:I'm so sorry. No, "best."I was thinking about "best." (to S142:) Because I always say you're the best.She brought me my precious beloved Champion, you know.
Topaz:You say that every time she's here.
Grandmaster:What have you brought today?Tell me.
Scapper #142:A contender.
Thor:A what?
Grandmaster:I need to go closer.I want a closer look at this.Can you take us closer?Thank you.
(Grandmaster advances on Thor.Examining him closely and strangely.Then:)
Grandmaster:Pay this lady.
Thor:Just wait a damn minute.I'm not for sale.
(Using all his might, Thor breaks out of his shackles, but-)
(-S142 ZAPS him again.Paralyzed by superheated veins.)
Grandmaster:Man.He is a fighter.
Scapper #142:I'd take 10 million.
Topaz:Tell her she's dreaming.
Grandmaster:For heaven's sake, transfer the units.
(Topaz transfers S142 the units.Without sympathy or ceremony, S142 exits.)
Thor:You'll pay for this!
Scapper #142:No, I got paid for this.
(Thor claws at the obedience disk, trying to RIP IT OUT.)
(He gets some separation from his skin, but the disk is causing him even more pain.Thor eventually has to let go.Grandmaster holds up HIS OWN fob device and uses it like a wand to guide Thor's HOVER CHAIR, which follows Grandmaster around as he speaks.)
Grandmaster:Here's what I wanna know.Who are you and are you like the others?
Thor:I am the God of THUNDER!!!
(Thor THRUSTS his arms into the air but only a tiny bit of static electricity POPS within Thor's hands.)
(When Grandmaster said are like the others, Thor was thinking that his students are here.)
Grandmaster:Wow.I didn't hear any thunder, but out of your fingers, was that like...sparkles?
Topaz:We located your cousin.
Grandmaster:Oh good! (to Thor:) Yeah, come on.I think you're gonna like this.
(Grandmaster moves Thor's chair to another section where-)
(-COUSIN CARLO is waiting. He's strapped to a chair like Thor, and he is terrified.)
Grandmaster:There he is.Hey, cuz.We almost couldn't find you.What, have you been hiding?
(Cousin Carlo looks at Thor, cowering in fear.)
Thor:Hi.
(Carlo only further weeps.)
Grandmaster:So...
Cousin Carlo:Please.I'm sorry.
Grandmaster:Carlo... I pardon you.
Cousin Carlo:Thank you.Thank you.
Grandmaster:You're officially pardoned...from life.
(Grandmaster casually takes Topaz's Sakaarian Guard staff and JABS it into his cousin's mid-section-)
(-CAUSING ALL OF HIS FLESH TO MELT OFF HIS SKELETON!)
(Carlo SHRIEKS IN PAIN before his vocal cords melt.Thor looks on, in shock.)
Thor:Oh, my god!
(Liquid Carlo spreads towards Grandmaster.)
Grandmaster:I'm stepping in it.I'm stepping in it.Look out!
Thor:(repulsed) Oh, the smell.
Grandmaster:What does it smell like?
Topaz:Burnt toast.
Grandmaster:What happened to my manners?I haven't properly introduced myself.Come on.Follow me.
(Grandmaster gives Topaz back her staff.)
(Grandmaster and Thor arrive at a space where A GROUP OF MUSICIANS PLAY STRANGE INSTRUMENTS (the source of the music thus far).Grandmaster joins them, still speaking to Thor.)
(Grandmaster begins PLAYING a strange piano-like contraption, riffing a melody over the existing music.)
Grandmaster:My name is Grandmaster.I preside over a little harlequinade called the Contest of Champions.People come from far and wide to
unwillingly participate in it.And you, my friend, might just be part of the new cast.What do you say to that?
Thor:We're not friends, and I don't give a shit about your games! I'm going back to Asgard!
Grandmaster:(amused) Ass-gard? (then:) One, two, three, four.
(Grandmaster really gets into his PLAYING.Grandmaster's guards and VIP guests start MOVING TO THE MUSIC.)
(Thor takes a moment to look around at this bizarre spectacle unfolding around him.In doing so, he zeroes in on one particular group of VIPS, specifically...)
(...LOKI AND FOXY!They are lounging, he dressed in Sakaarian garb and she is dressed in a Japanese Kimono Cheongsam.)
Loki:There was a wormhole in space and time beneath me.At that moment, I let go.
Thor:Loki, Foxy!?Loki, Foxy!Over here!
(Loki and Foxy notices Thor.Blanches a little.Sidles closer so as to speak to Thor without looking like they are speaking to Thor.)
Loki and Foxy:Excuse us one second.
Thor:Loki, Foxy!
(Loki and Foxy hustles over to Thor, SHUSHING him.)
Loki:What?You're alive?
(Foxy had that look, like right happen to Thor.)
Thor:Yes, of course I'm alive.
Loki:What are you doing here?
Foxy:That is good a question. (looks right at Loki). Loki why are brother here.
Thor:(looks right at Loki) What do you mean, what am I doing?I'm stuck in this stupid chair.Where's your chair?
Loki:I didn't get a chair.
Thor:You two get me out of this one.
Loki:We can't.
Thor:What?
Loki:I've made friends with this man.He's called the Grandmaster.
Foxy:I am his right hand woman.
Thor:Oh, he's crazy!
Loki:I've gained his favor..The Bi-Frost brought me out here weeks ago.
Thor:Weeks ago?I just got here.
Foxy:I was captured by a bounty hunter, brought here and I been here for three weeks.
Thor:What.
(Suddenly Grandmaster is right next to them.)
Grandmaster:What are you two whispering about?
(Both Thor, Foxy and Loki react, startled.)
Grandmaster:Time works real different around these parts. 
(MORE)
Grandmaster:On any other world, I'd be like, millions of years old.But here on Sakaar...
(Grandmaster beholds himself.Then turns to Loki and Foxy.A truly uncomfortable silence.)
Grandmaster:In any case, you know this...You call yourself Lord of Thunder?
Thor:God of Thunder.You two tell him.
Loki:I've never met this man in my life.
Foxy:I never seen this person.
Thor:He's my brother and she is my sister.
Loki:Adopted.
Foxy:Adopted too.
(Loki and Foxy shrugs, gives the universal gesture for "so-so.")
Thor:You take this thing out of my neck and I'll show you.
Grandmaster:Now listen to that.He's threatening me.Hey, Sparkles, here's the deal.If you wanna get back to Ass-place, Assberg...
Thor:Asgard.
Grandmaster:Any contender who defeats my champion, their freedom they shall win.
Thor:Fine.Then point me in the direction of whoever's ass I have to kick.
Grandmaster:That's what I call, contender!Direction would be this way, Lord.
Thor:Loki and Foxy!
(Guards arrive.They haul Thor up and escort him out.)
===The Arena - Gladiator Cells===
(Thor is shoved into a spacious cell where other alien prisoners are lurking in the back.)
(The thick cell door SLAMS SHUT behind Thor.Thor gets up and immediately begins THROWING his shoulder into the door.The door doesn't budge, not even a little.)
(Behind him, KORG, a hulking Kronan rock alien, speaks up.)
Korg:Hey!Take it easy man! (Thor looks back) Over here.The pile of rocks waving at you.Yeah I'm actually a thing, I'm a being.Allow me to
introduce myself, my name is Korg.I'm kind of like the leader in here.I'm made of rocks, as you can see, but don't let that intimidate you. You don't need to be afraid unless you're made of scissors. (GIGGLES to himself) Just a little rock-paper-scissor joke for you.This is my very good friend over here, Miek.He's an insect and has knives for hands.
(MIEK, a slug alien inside a robot exoskeleton, says hello by doing some karate moves.)
Thor:You're a Kronan, aren't you?
Korg:That I am.
Thor:How'd you end up in here?
Korg:Well, I tried to start a revolution but didn't print enough pamphlets, so hardly anyone turned up. 
(MORE)
Korg:Except for my mom and her boyfriiend, who I hate.As punishment, I was forced to be in here and become a gladiator.Bit of a promotional disaster.(secretive) But I'm actually organizing another revolution.I don't know if you'd be interested in something like
that.Do you reckon you'd be interested?
(Thor tries to run ahead down the circle and loops back around behind Korg.)
Thor:How did you...
Korg:Yeah, no.This whole thing is a circle.But not a real circle, more like a freaky circle.
Thor:This doesn't make any sense.
Korg:No, nothing makes sense here.The only thing that does make sense, is that nothing makes sense.
Thor:Has anyone here fought the Grandmaster's Champion?
Korg:Doug has.Doug! (realizes) Oh, right, Doug's dead.That's right.Everyone who fights the Grandmaster's champion perishes.
Thor:What about you?You're made of rocks.
Korg:Perishable rocks. (a pebble FALLS OFF) There you go.Another one gone.Yeah, no, I just do the smaller fights, warm up the crowd and
whatnot.Wait.You're not gonna face him, are you?
Thor:Yes I am.Fight him, win, and get the hell out of this place with my sister and my students.
Korg:That's exactly what Doug used to say.See you later, new Doug.
(Korg walks away and approaches Miek.)
(Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity shoved into a spacious cell and Thor see's them.)
Thor:Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity right are you five doing here?
Clive:We was captured by a bounty hunter.
Artemis:Uncle Thor what are you doing here?
Thor:I was captured too, I am going to fight Grandmaster's champion and all of us can get out of here.
Luna:Grandmaster's champion is going down to China town.
Oceana:That champion will be seeing stars when Uncle Thor done with him.
Serenity:His champion will be down for.
Clive:There's know way his champion will win.
Artemis:Grandmaster's champion will get uncle Thor hands.
Thor:Ya. (his said that happily)
(Then Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity noticed that uncle Thor do not have his hammer with him.) 
Clive:Uncle Thor, where is your hammer.
(Thor told them what happen.)
(Korg sees Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity walks up to them, he introduce himself and they introduce themself to him.) 
===Throne Room===
(Moving down the throne room corridor we see-)
(-SEVERAL DEAD EINHERJAR GUARDS.)
(One guy is still alive, desperately trying to crawl away.)
(SHLNK!A black blade finishes him off.)
(Reveal HELA and SKURGE looking down at the carnage.)
(Hela directs her attention to FRESCOS ON THE CEILING.Like the Sistine Chapel, except these depict Asgard's shining influence on the Nine Realms.Bountiful harvests, shepherds with full flocks, common folk throwing parades for Asgard's army, etc.)
Hela:Does no one remember me? (awaiting an answer) Has no one been taught our history?Look at these lies.Goblets and garden parties?Peace treaties?
(Hela leads them towards the throne.)
Hela:Odin... proud to have it... ashamed of how he got it.
(Hela FIRES SPIKES into the ceiling, RIPPING DOWN plaster.)
(Beneath the surface are older Frescos.These ones are far more dark and sinister.)
(Soldiers in battle.Blood.A giant war wolf.Young Odin and young Hela.Slaves building the palace.)
(Skurge is at least somewhat disturbed by this.)
Hela:We were unstoppable.I was his weapon in the conquest that built Asgard's empire.One by one, the realms became ours.)
(Hela turns from the murals to address Skurge.)
Hela:But then, simply because my ambition outgrew his...he banished me, caged me, locked me away like an animal.Before that, Asgard's warriors were honored, their bodies buried as heroes beneath this very place.
(Hela beckons Skurge to follow her.)
===Odin's Vault===
(Hela enters the vault and descends the stairs towards the magical items.)
Skurge:Odin's treasures.
(SKURGE follows her.Hela walks towards the Infinity Gauntlet.)
Hela:Fake.
(Hela KNOCKS the gauntlet off its pedestal.)
Hela:Most of the stuff in here is fake.
Hela:Or weak.
Next:Surtur's skull.
Hela:Smaller than I thought it would be.
Next:The Tesseract.She hesitates:
Hela:That's not bad? (notices:) But this...The Eternal Flame.
(THE ETERNAL FLAME flickers in its chalice.)
(Hela DIGS HER HAND INTO THE ETERNAL FLAME.She pulls her hand out now cupping GREEN FIRE, like a torch.)
(Hela approaches a large circular RUNE ETCHING on the floor.)
(Hela manifests a huge CLAW HAMMER.She SMASHES THROUGH THE RUNES ON THE FLOOR, creating a gaping chasm.)
(She looks at Skurge.)
Hela:Want to see what true power looks like?
(Hela looks down into the darkness below.)
(With her hand aflame, Hela JUMPS down into the chasm!)
===Hidden Asgardian Catacombs===
(Hela LANDS like a bad ass.)
(Dust settles.The light of Hela's hand torch reveals a stone crypt.An ornate burial place for the heroes of Old Asgard.)
(We can see countless rotted skeletons in badass ancient Asgardian armor.Hela's regiment.)
(Among them, A MASSIVE WOLF'S SKELETON.TERRIFYING AND MONSTROUS, COLOSSAL CHAINS AROUND THE BONES OF ITS PAWS.FENRIS.)
(Hela approaches Fenris' skeleton.)
Hela:Fenris.My darling, what have they done to you?
(She lifts her flaming hand above her head.She slams her hand into the ground.)
Hela:With the Eternal Flame, you are reborn!
(The fire spreads out, covering Fenris and Hela's old army.)
(As the fire covers the skeletons, they SHUDDER TO LIFE.)
Hela:I've missed you.I've missed you all.
(HELA'S BUTCHERS, rise up before their commander.)
Above:Skurge looks down, worried.
Below:A sinister light returns to Fenris's eyes as he stands proudly before his master, allowing her to pet the fur of his terrifying face.
===The Arena - Gladiator Cells - Night===
(Thor, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity sits against the wall.Thor quietly praying.)
Thor:Odin, I bid you take your place in the halls of Valhalla...
(then:)
Where the brave shall live forever.Nor shall we mourn but rejoice-
Thor:-for those that have died the glorious death.
Loki:-for those that have died the glorious death. 
(Reveal Loki standing across the cell.Thor, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity gives him a hard look.)
Loki:(he looks right at Thor) It hurts, doesn't it? Being lied to.Being told you're one thing and then learning it's all a fiction. (then looks at Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity) I also herd that five new contenders will be fighting ....
(Thor picks up some stones that have fallen from Korg's leg and casually starts throwing them through Loki's illusion.)
(Clive pulls out a black pouch bag from his pants pocket, opens it, pulls out stones and and casually starts throwing them through Loki's illusion too.)
Loki:You guys didn't think I'd really come and see you all, did you?This place is disgusting.
(Thor and Clive throws another stone through Loki.)
Loki:Does this means all of you don't want my help?
(Thor and Clive throws another stone through Loki.)
Loki:Look, I couldn't jeopardize my position with Grandmaster, it took me time to win his trust.He's a lunatic, but he can be amenable.
(Thor and Clive throws another stone through Loki.Disinterested.)
Loki:What I'm telling you guys is, all of you could join me and Foxy at the Grandmaster's side.Perhaps, in time, an accident befalls the Grandmaster, and then...
Loki gestures:"we take over."
(Thor and Clive throws another stone through Loki.Bored.)
Loki:(looks at Thor) You're not seriously thinking of going back, are you?Our sister destroyed your hammer like a piece of glass.She's stronger than both of us.She's stronger than you.You don't stand a chance.Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
(Thor just scowls.)
Loki:(looks at Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity) You five did not belong at that school, all of you belong with the gods....
(Artemis takes some stones form Clive black pouch bag and throw it through Loki.)
Loki:Fine.I guess I'll just have to go it alone.Like I've always done.
(Thor smirks)
Loki:Would you guys say something?
(Both of them out of stones, Thor looks around the floor for more and Clive looking in his pants pockets .)
Loki:All of you say something!
(Thor finally looks right at Loki, speaks fast and curt:)
Thor:What would you like me to say?You faked your own death, you stole the throne, stripped Odin of his power, stranded him on Earth...
(on Loki:)
Thor:-to die, releasing the Goddess of Death.
(back to Thor:)
 
(MORE)
Thor:Have I said enough, or do you do you want me to go further back than the past two days?
(Loki's eyes burn.Thor stares coldly at him.Loki tries to compose himself.)
Loki:(looks at Thor) You know, I haven't seen this Beloved Champion he talks of, but I've heard he's astonishingly savage.I've placed a large wager against you tomorrow.Don't let me down.
Loki:(looks at Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity) One more thing.All of you will be fighting tomorrow too.
(Loki SHIMMERS, and his illusion vanishes.Korg runs in to try to kick him.)
Korg:Piss off, ghost!
(then:)
 
Korg:He's freaking gone.
===The Arena - Receiving Area===
(Thor, Korg, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana, Serenity and a gaggle of other prisoners/fighters have been led from their cells to a PRE-FIGHT HOLDING AREA.)
(Korg, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana, Serenity and Thor are by the weapons rack.)
Korg:Yuck!There's Still someone's hair and blood all over this.Guys, can you clean up the weapons once you finish your fight?Disgusting
slobs.
(then:)
Korg:Thor, Korg, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana, Serenity...wanna use some big wooden forks?
Thor, Korg, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity:No.
Korg:Yeah, not really useful unless you're fighting off three vampires that were huddled together.
Thor:I really wish I had my hammer.
Artemis:I wish I had my hammer too.
Clive:Man I wish I had my Piko Piko Hammer right now.
Korg:Hammers?
Thor:Quite unique.It was made from this special metal from the heart of a dying star.And when I spun it really, really fast it gave me the ability to fly.
Artemis:My hammer was made by my dad Mighty Guardian Thor.He made it with three big gemstones name Bronze Abenbeckite, Shigsphorite and Celadozite.When I swing it really fast, different color crystals come out of it.
 
Clive:Also my Piko Piko Hammer was made by dad Mighty Guardian Thor as will.It was made from a mineral called Wagnssanite.It help me out a lot going against big guys that are bigger then me and it can shoot out lighting as will.
Korg:(looks at Thor) You rode a hammer?
Korg:(looks at Artemis) You can make color crystals from hammer?
Korg:(looks Clive) You shoot lighting from hammer?
Thor:No, I didn't ride the hammer.
Artemis:No, I don't make color crystals from my hammer.
Clive:No, I don't shoot lighting from it.
Korg:The hammer rode you on your back?
Korg:Your hammer can change you in to different crystal colors?
Korg:And your hammer can shoot light out of you?
Thor:No.I used to spin it really fast, and it would pull me off the...
Korg:Oh my God.The hammer pulled you off?
Thor:The ground.It would pull me off the ground, up into the air, and I would fly.Every time I threw it, it would always come back to me.
Korg:Sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship wiht this hammer and that losing it was almost comparable to losing a
loved one.
That's a nice way of putting it.
Korg:Did you two lose your hammers as will.
Artemis and Clive:No.We left them back at school.
(Thor spots S142 dealing at the bar.He's once again eyeing the fob device clipped to her belt.Scowls.)
Scapper #142:I said they're mine.
Thor:See her, the one that put me in here.
Korg:Yeah, Scrapper 142.She's strong.And she drinks a lot.
(MORE)
Korg:Gotta watch out for those Asgardians, man.They are hard to perish.
Thor:Asgardian?
(Thor, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity breaks away from the line and runs to S142.)
Thor:Hey!Hey!
(S142 holds up the fob.)
Thor:Do not zap me with that thing.We just wanna talk.Asgard is in danger.
(Thor, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity then notices a series of PATTERNED SCARS, or BRANDS, on her forearms.It's a moment of recognition and disbelief.)
Thor:My God, you're a Valkyrie.I used to wanna be a Valkyrie when I was younger...until I found out that you were all women.There's
nothing wrong with women, of course.I love women.Sometimes a little too much.Not in a creepy way, just more of a respectful appreciation.I think it's great that there is an elite force of women warriors.It's about time.
Serenity:My ground-mother is a Valkyrie like you and I want to become a Valkyrie myself.
Clive:I believe in girl power.
Artemis:Or you can say Valkyrie power.
Scapper #142:Are you four done?
Warden:Lord of Thunder, you're up.Then you five will be up next.
Thor:Please, help mes.I need your help.
Scapper #142:Bye.
Thor:Fine, then you must be a traitor or a coward because the Valkyrie are sworn to protect the throne.
Luna:A Valkyrie always be there to help people, when the time they are needed.
(S142 finally turns her attention to Thor, Luna, intense.)
Scapper #142:Listen closely, your majesty and majesty friends.This is Sakaar, not Asgard.And I'm a scrapper, not a Valkyrie.
(Guards swarm Thor, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity dragging them back.)
Warden:Bring him in for processing and bring these five to a different processing!
Scapper #142:And no one escapes this place.So all of you are gonna die anyway.
Oceana:Me, my bothers and my sisters are not planning on dying, uncle Thor needs us to help to him save Asgard.
(Despite her denial, Thor, Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity has clearly hit a nerve.And from now on we will refer to Scrapper #142 as VALKYRIE.)
(Valkyrie takes her booze and walks away.Thor is dragged away, passing Korg and the other prisoners.Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity is dragged away to a different place for processing .)
===Processing Room===
(Thor is strapped to a chair.Reveal a weird alien BARBER holding up some rusty shears.)
Stan Lee:Now, don't you move.My hands ain't as steady as they used to be.
Thor:By Odin's beard, you shall not cut my hair... lest you feel the wrath of the might Thor.
(Barber activates a menacing CUTTING TOOL.Thor freaks out.)
Thor:Please.Please, kind sir, do not cut my hair!No!
===In A Different Processing Room===
(Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity sees a group of barbers with old shears coming towards them.)
Onii:No need for those old shears.
(The group of barbers left the room.)
Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity:Ground-father.
(Then Star-Lord, Mystic Thor and Mighty Guardian Thor works in the room.)
Clive, Artemis, Luna, Oceana and Serenity:Dads.
(Tharic works in the room with a small screen tv.)
Tharic:Now we see Thor's fight.
===The Arena - Night===
(Hundreds of thousands of spectators packed into the stadium seats.Dozens of starships are parked above the arena.)
(Find THE GRANDMASTER'S LUXURY SUITE, a VIP box attached to the fighting area.The Golden Ladies are in attendance.)
(Loki lounges in the suite, taking wagers on the fight card.)
(Foxy taking wagers on the fight card too.)
(Grandmaster walks out into the center of the arena.Suddenly-)
(-THE GRANDMASTER GROWS TO 60-FEET TALL! This enlarged projection of Grandmaster addresses the audience.)
Grandmaster:Wow!Look at all of you.What a show, WHAT-A-NIGHT!Who's having fun?Please, I'm your host.Big round of applause for all of our
undercard competitors... who died so gruesomely.Good sports.What a show!What a night!This is what you've come for and so have I.
(applause)
Grandmaster:And now, without further ado...it's main event time!!
(INSANE APPLAUSE)
Grandmaster:Making his first appearance, though he looks quite promising, got a couple of tricks up his sleeve.I'll say no more, see what you think.Ladies and gentlemen...
(LAUGHTER from the crowd)
Grandmaster:I give to you...Lord of Thunder!
(Enter Thor.Gladiator Thor.Shaved head, trimmed beard, minimalist armor, covered in weapons.Two swords on his back, giant mace in one hand, spiked shield in the other.)
Grandmaster:Watch out for his fingers.They make sparks.
(Thor looks up at the throngs of SCREAMING FANS. And then...)
(...puts on his helmet.A badass gladiator variation of his classic winged helm.Thor is ready to rumble.)
(ABOVE:Find Valkyrie in her Warsong ship, parked amongst the other tailgaters.She POPS open a bottle of booze.Drinks.)
Grandmaster:Okay, this is it.Let's get ready to welcome this guy.Here he comes.He is a creature.What can we say about him?Well, he's unique.There's none like him.I feel a special connection with him.
(Suddenly the floor beneath Thor's feet LOWERS.A slow, tension-building GRIND as he sees-)
(-A DOOR across the arena.Bigger and bigger.)
(The entire crowd is on its feet. Palpable anticipation.The spotlights change to bright stadium lights.)
Grandmaster:He's undefeated.HE'S THE REIGNING...HE'S THE DEFENDING...Ladies and gentlemen...I give you...
(KA-BOOM!EXPLODING through a door is the Champion...)
(...THE INCREDIBLE HULK! He wears an armored shoulder guard and a Spartan helmet.He carries a warhammer in one hand and a battleaxe in the other.Hulk POUNDS his chest and ROARS, further energizing an already frenzied crowd.)
(Meanwhile, the sight of Hulk makes Thor's arms drop to his sides along with his jaw dropping to the ground.And then-)
(-Thor LAUGHS his ass off. Like, "that's my buddy over there!")
Thor:Yes!
(IN THE VIP BOX: Loki goes ghost white.Traumatic memories of being Hulk-smashed flood his brain.Gone is all his joy.)
Loki:I have to get off this planet.
(Loki tries to exit, but the Grandmaster and Foxy stops him.)
Grandmaster:Hey, hey, hey!Where are you going?
Foxy:Stay here and watch the fight with us.
(Grandmaster plops Loki down in the front row, right against the glass.Loki casually tries to hide his face in his hand.)
(IN THE ARENA:)
Thor:Hey!We know each other.He's a friend from work.
(to Hulk:)
Thor:Where have you been?Everybody thought you were dead.So much has happened since I last saw you.I lost my hammer.Like, yesterday,
so that's still pretty fresh.
(then:)
Thor:Loki, Foxy! Loki, Foxy alive.Can you two believe it?They are up there.
(waves to Loki and Foxy:)
Thor:Loki, Foxy!Look who it is!
(Loki is petrified.)
Thor:Banner, I never thought I would say this, but I'm happy to see you.
IN THE ARENA:Hulk is still eyeballing Thor while the capacity crowd CHANTS insanely for "HULK! HULK! HULK!"
Thor:Banner.Hey, Banner!
(Hulk's face grimaces and contorts, suppressing puny Banner.)
Hulk:NO BANNER!ONLY HULK!
(Hulk CHARGES at Thor.Insanely fast.)
Thor:What are you doing?It's me.
(Thor DODGES the first few attacks, but then Hulk SHATTERS his shield and sends Thor FLYING.)
(Thor draws a sword and STABS it into the ground to slow his momentum.Draws the other sword and faces off against Hulk.)
Thor:Banner, we're friends.This is crazy.I don't want to hurt you!
(They engage again.Hulk KICKS Thor, sending him SLAMMING into the wall.)
Grandmaster:Here we go.
(Thor jumps down just in time to avoid Hulk's warhammer, which HITS so hard that it remains lodged in the wall.)
(With Hulk charging again, Thor RIPS the warhammer out of the wall and WALLOPS Hulk with it.)
(Hulk goes CRASHING alongside the arena.He ends up sprawled out in a pile of rubble, slightly dazed.)
Grandmaster:What?
ABOVE: Val is watching through a set of high-tech binoculars.She reacts to Thor, reluctantly impressed.
(Thor advances on Hulk with all the swagger.He takes off his helmet and CALLS OUT to Hulk, provoking him.)
Thor:Hey, big guy.The sun's getting real low.
(Hulk takes off his helmet.Scowling.Teeth GRINDING.)
Thor:That's it. The sun's going down.I won't hurt you anymore.No one will.
(WHOOSH!Thor is suddenly dragged out of frame.Hulk has Thor by the leg and is WHIPPING him against the arena floor.Over and over and over again.)
IN THE VIP BOX:Loki's whole mood shifts.The joy returns to his face, like "everything will be alright!" Loki LAUGHS.
Loki:Yes! That's how it feels!
(to Grandmaster:)
Loki:I'm just a huge fan of the sport.
(Thor is SMASHED into the floor face first.)
(Hulk ROARS and RUSHES Thor with his axe.)
Thor:All right.Screw it.
(CLANG! The giant weapons CLASH! Now Thor and Hulk are fighting warhammer versus battleaxe...)
(...and Thor is winning! He's getting the better of these exchanges, using Hulk's aggression against him. Thor continually KNOCKS and/or TRIPS Hulk off his feet while evading all of Hulk's best attacks.)
Thor:I know you're in there, Banner.I'll get you out!
(One particular vicious blow DISARMS Hulk, and Thor BREAKS Hulk's axe with the warhammer.Thor then BASHES Hulk in the chest, KNOCKING him to the ground.)
Thor:What's the matter with you?You're embarrassing me! I told them we were friends!
(GROWLING, Hulk stands up and HITS Thor with a straight jab that sends Thor TUMBLING across the arena.Hulk immediately LEAPS after him and LANDS ON Thor!)
(Hulk is now on top of Thor as they slide across the arena, just PUMMELING him with punches.Left-right-left-right.Thor's head snaps back and forth.)
(In the carnage, Thor sees VISIONS OF ODIN.Then-)
(-his eyes GLOW WHITE WITH ELECTRICITY.Like an instinctual defense mechanism, Thor suddenly KNOCKS HULK BACK WITH A BURST OF LIGHTNING!)
(Seething with electricity, Thor springs to his feet and then BLASTS HULK WITH A MASSIVE LIGHTNING PUNCH! Hulk is LAUNCHED BACKWARDS and Thor hits the ground HARD.)
Crowd:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Korg:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
(Onii and the others watching on a tv in a different room.) 
Onii:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Clive:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Artemis:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Luna:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Oceana:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Serenity:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
Tharic:Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!
(The crowd gets hushed.They've never seen this before.)
(IN THE VIP BOX: Grandmaster is pissed.Loki is amazed.)
(Hulk and Thor stagger to their feet.Thor looks at himself, a little surprised.There are still small charges of lightning CRACKLING through his veins.)
(Meanwhile, Hulk RUMBLES towards Thor and they're at it again, close-quarters boxing.Thor is winning the exchanges, landing BRUTAL PUNCHES to Hulk's body.And then suddenly-)
(Hulk plants his feet and JUMPS!He ZOOMS UP, rocketing out of the arena, up-up-up into the sky! At the apex of his jump Hulk clenches his fist and begins a missile-like descent.)
(Val sees this from her ship and decides to take off, like "This fight is over, time to beat traffic.")
Korg:Another day, another Doug.
(Down below, Thor groggily turns over.He does so just in time to see Hulk coming at him like an atom bomb!)
(No time to avoid it.KA-BOOM!!!Right before impact Thor's eyes go lightning white.Hulk HITS Thor like a meteor.)
(The impact knocks Thor unconscious and we CUT TO BLACK.Linger on darkness for a few beats...and then:)
===Throne Room - Sunset===
(Hela sits on the throne trying to get comfortable, headdress & cowl off.Skurge stands at the foot of the throne.)
Hela:What is that noise?
Skurge:The common folk aren't exactly falling in line.There's a resistance trying to knock down the front gates.
(Hela sends her BUTCHER TROOPS to deal with it.)
Hela:Tell me about yourself, Skurge.
Skurge:Well, me dad was a stonemason, me mum was-
Hela: (interrupts) I'll just stop you there.What I meant was what is your ambition?
Skurge:I just want a chance to prove myself.
Hela:Recognition.
(then:)
Hela:When I was young every great King had an executioner.Not just to execute people, but also to execute their vision.But mainly to execute people.Still a great honor.
(beat)
Hela:I was Odin's executioner.
(Hela holds out her hand and uses her powers to FORM A DOUBLE-SIDED OBSIDIAN AXE, which she offers to Skurge.)
Hela:And you will be my executioner.Let's begin our conquest.
===Rainbow Bridge - Day===
(Hela and Skurge arrive at the Observatory, army in tow.)
Hela:Skurge, where's the sword?
(Reveal that the Bi-Frost sword is missing.)
Hela:That sword is the key to opening the Bi-Frost.
(Hela thinks, seething.)
Hela:These people you mentioned, the ones who aren't falling into line.Round them up.
(SPLASH! Boots running across the shallow water.We meet a family of refugees from the city. FATHER, MOTHER, SON (14), and young daughter (8). They're RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES.)
