#### **Plot**

**Gold Palace**

**Paris, 2095**

A man named Abraham stands outside of a large palace. Another man older man named Michael stands opposite him. The older man raises his hand, forming a piece of metal into a long axe and stands ready for a fight. Abraham forms his sword as does Michael. Abraham makes the first attack, pressing hard, hoping to get a quick and painless victory, but Michael blocks well. Abraham keeps up the attack and quickly starts to get frustrated until he starts making mistakes. By this point, a crowd has gathered. Abraham stops and takes a moment to relax, but Michael suddenly moves on the attack. Abraham starts to struggle to defend himself. Michael starts to land a few hits here and there before he knocks Abraham down to the ground. He raises his axe and swings down

**Prison Cell**

**Paris, 2100**

Abraham shoots up from his bed, breathing deep and quick. He looks at his chest, seeing he is unhurt. It takes him a moment to remember where he is in a prison cell. He starts to relax, sighing deeply. He then looks up at a gem hanging from the roof of his cell, high above his reach, the only light in the room. He sits on the edge of his bed then looks up, seeing it is raining outside and still dark. Within a minute, the cell is lit up and a plate of food is slipped into the cell through a small flat under the door. Abraham looks at it, again sighing as he picks it up and starts to eat

**Palace Gardens**

Michael is in the Palace gardens, doing his morning training in the rain with an attendant watching. Michael then stops and approaches, taking a towel from the attendant, and starts to dry himself off. Another man approaches and bows, and informs him of the murder of a Kemiya. Michael sighs and asks why he is coming to him when its a police matter. The man then tells Michael it was one of the Royal Kemiya was killed, by the Huntress. Michael sighs again and begins walking away, cursing the Huntress. He stops for a moment and asks who was killed. The messenger replies that the Kemiya's name was Wilson. He walks to his private chambers and picks up a phone. He calls a City Police Chief and tells him to compile a list of all the Huntresses victims and give them to his head of security before hanging up. He then looks at a large glass case resting against the wall with a Gold sword in it. A woman then slides up to behind Michael, attempting to seduce him, but he shrugs her off and calmly tells her to leave. She does so quickly as Michael walks to his balcony, looking out over the city. He mutters to himself, asking where she is

**Secret Location in Paris**

A motorcyclist pulls into a garage full of other young people working on tools and equipment. The motorcyclist pulls the helmet off to reveal a beautiful young girl, Lara. A young man, Lenny, approaches, congratulating her on another successful kill. She isn't fazed and simply approaches a table, picking up a knife and then throws it at a picture on the wall, with many other pictures, also with knives in them, numbering over a dozen pictures. Lenny is a little frustrated and tells Lara, he understands her pain but that she needs to relax and not focus so much. Lara then walks into an office and sits down, asking for her next lead. Lenny is reluctant to tell her, until Lara reminds him of that pain and how much suffering Kemiya's have caused. Lenny also reminds her she can't kill every Kemiya in the world. She takes a moment, looking away before Lenny hands her a picture. He explains the man's named is Patrick Bourbon. She takes the picture and asks if they've finished the flash device. Lenny smiles and walks backout to the workshop with Lara following. He shows her a bracelet. He places it on her wrist then asks her to raise her arms. When she does, a flash of light is given off, blinding almost everyone in front of her. Lenny gets a few harsh words thrown at him, but Lara seems impressed, asking what else he's come up with

**Prison Cell**

Abraham is still sitting in his cell. He looks at the door for a few moments before he runs to it and starts to kick it, over and over. A guard enters the station. An older guard at the desk asks who he is, to which the new guard says he is a new transfer. The old guard nods as he stands up to leave but the new guard hears the kicking and asks who it is. The old guard tells him its Abraham Wallman. The young guard is surprised, saying he believed he was dead. The old guard tells him it was made up but warns him not to say anything. The young guard nods, still hearing the kicks. He asks if he should do something but the old guard warns him not to, saying Abraham has been doing the same routine for 5 years. First time he tried it, they went into his room and he tried to escape. He warns the young man not to take the bait. The young guard nods as the older guard leaves. The young guard sits down and gets to work. The kicking continues on as the guard tells him to stop it, but still, Abraham carries on. The guard finally stands up and walks to his door. He opens the door and shoots Abraham with a stun gun. Abraham is hit in the chest and falls to a knee but is kicked unto his back. The guard turns up the voltage on the stun gun, shocking Abraham even more and seemingly incapacitates him. The Guard pulls out his baton and strikes Abraham a few times. He then turns to leave, when he notices the bed sheet is missing. Within a moment, the taser wire is wrapped around his neck as Abraham starts to choke him. It doesn't take long before the guard is dead. Abraham looks at the guard, commenting that he is a new guard. Abraham closes the cell door and starts to get undressed. He emerges from the cell in the guards uniform. He looks at the roof, seeing another gem, like in his room then looks at his hand, seeing the symbol on it. He leaves the hall of cells and through a few more doors before the alarm goes off. Abraham slips into a side room as guards rush down the hallway. He steps back out and looks at his hand again, cursing again before he finally makes it out into the courtyard. He sunlight blinds him for a moment but he stands still. He looks at his hand and smiles, feeling alive and strong again. He walks around to the side of the building and manages to form a gold door and walks through it. He then makes a run for it down the alleyway.

**Gold Palace**

Michael is in his office, looking at a list of names when a man rushes in and informs Michael of Abraham's escape. Michael quickly stands up and rushes to his bedroom. He bursts through the door, seeing the Gold sword gone. He is enraged but he calmly tells the messenger to find him and dispatch the Royal guard. The man nods and rushes out quickly. Michael looks at a ring on his finger, with a red gem. He clenches his fist, a quick pulse coming from his body, shattering the mirrors and anything made of glass in the room, his body still and seemingly calm

**Streets of Paris**

Abraham is walking through the streets of Paris, having gotten a change of clothes, keeping his head down. He comes to a square with a large screen on the side of one of the buildings. A news report is shown of Abraham's escape and an urging to all citizens to inform the authorities of any information of Abraham's whereabouts. Abraham turns down an alley, constantly looking around for anyone who is following him. He sees a police car drive by. He quickly steps through a door and into a club. He takes a breath, focusing before he walks through the club. A young man, Patrick, with a few other's around him sees Abraham enter. He doesn't take much notice at first, but he spots something on his hand. The man then sees the bulletin on a nearby TV. Abraham quickly moves through the club and out another exit. Patrick excuses himself and follows Abraham out into the street. He sees Abraham driving off on a bike but then notices...it was his bike. Patrick shouts after him then jumps on another bike and drives after him. Abraham ducks and weaves through the traffic. Patrick gains on him quickly, forming a silver sword. Patrick shouts to Abraham that he stole his bike and swings at him. Abraham apologises but declares he needs it. He forms his own sword at the two start to battle each other. Its not long before the police are chasing them. They eventually approach a bridge. Patrick manages to ram Abraham's bike against the bridge wall throwing him from the bike. Patrick then stops and forms his sword. Abraham holds his leg but he regains his feet and forms his own and the two Kemiya's fight. The police arrive within a minute. Abraham pushes Patrick back and dives into the canal. Patrick turns seeing the guns aimed at him. He looks at the river then back at the police. He tries to turn and jump but is shot in the back. He then falls over the side and into the canal

**Secret Location in Paris**

Lara is at a makeshift shooting range when Lenny calls her out into the main area. She sighs and does so, and is shown live footage of the chase taking place and the two culprits, Abraham and Patrick. Lenny informs her Abraham is the former Gold Emperor, thought to be dead. Lara turns and picks up a few items, including the bracelet Lenny showed her. Lenny questions her intention to which she replies she is going to find them and kill them both. Lenny at first protests that police are also involved, but she retorts, saying they're always involved. Lenny backs down as Lara leaves the building on her bike

**Paris Sewers**

Abraham manages to pull Patrick from the water. He then pulls the bullet out then stands to leave. Patrick gets up and forms his sword again and immediately attacks Abraham,  who forms his own sword and defends himself. Patrick shouts at Abraham for stealing his bike and getting cops on him. Abraham tells Patrick who he is and where he came from and reminds Patrick he just saved his life. Patrick stops, telling Abraham that he thought he was dead and asks why he did save him. Abraham replies that he didn't want to be responsible for another Kemiya's death and that he's been in Prison for 5 years. Patrick relaxes and reforms his sword. Abraham apologies to Patrick and turns to leave. Patrick waits for a moment before he leaves as well. Abraham walks through some tunnels before coming to a door. He reforms the door and opens it, emerging into a Metro station. He walks down to the nearest platform and gets on the first train. Patrick follows, but is too late. He looks at the trains route, seeing the largest Paris station is on its route. He decides to wait

**Gold Palace**

Michael paces in the throne room, occasionally looking at his phone, seeing the report of Abraham's escape and sees Patrick's name and face pop up as well. A man enters but doesn't make it far before Michael asks for an update. The man stutters but mumbles the police lost Abraham. Michael sighs, asking how he managed to escape. The man again stutters, telling Michael he didn't get the details, just the result. Michael is incensed but he takes a moment and tells the man to get Fabian. The man, shaking, nods and rushes out of the room. After a few minutes, a young blonde haired man enters. Michael greets him and orders Fabian to find Abraham. Fabian smiles and calls a number, telling all men to the main train station. Michael questions his decision, but Fabian states that Abraham will want to get out of the city and rail travel is the fastest way. He turns and leaves, leaving a smile on Michael's face.

**Gare D L'East Station**

Abraham steps off the train and unto the platform. He walks down the platform and hides in the corner. He looks at the timetable, seeing the next train out of the city in 6 minutes. He looks at his watch and sighs deeply. Abraham then looks to his right, towards the staircase, seeing a few men coming down unto the platform. One of them is Fabian. Abraham takes a quick look around, but has no where to go that is not conspicuous. With Fabian is looking around when a little girl bumps into his leg. Fabian looks down at the girl as a man rushes to her, apologising to Fabian. Fabian smiled and leans down, petting her head, telling them both not to worry about it before he walks. Seeing this. Abraham decides to make a move. He approaches one of the men on the far side. He forms a knife and quickly but discreetly stabs him in the chest and sits him down on one of the seats. He then comes around and stabs another man in the back. Abraham then turns to head to the exit when he sees Fabian standing in front of him. Fabian smirks and tells Abraham how he sensed him the moment he moved. Fabian forms his sword as does Abraham, the bystanders moving out of the way. Both men go at it, with Abraham attacking head on, but Fabian is able to keep him at a distance with the length of his sword. Abraham takes a quick look around and manages to force Fabian to the platform edge but Fabian manages to move to the side, noting Abraham's intelligence in figuring out his strategy. Fabian decides to head on the attack and starts to batter Abraham's defences. Fabian comments how rusty Abraham must be from 5 years in prison. Fabian manages to back Abraham into a corner and moves in for the kill, but another sword blocks him off. Abraham recognizes the sword as Patrick's. Fabian steps back as Abraham asks why Patrick saved him. Patrick replies, he's in Abraham's debt for saving his life but he owes him a new bike. The other Kemiya's enter the fight as both Patrick and Abraham fight them together until Fabian is the only one left. The train pulls into the station. Abraham offers Fabian a choice. Let them go and live, or fight and die. Fabian looks at them, then at the train and to both men again, weighing up his options. Abraham is suddenly shot in the leg. Fabian hides but Patrick and Abraham take their chance and manage to get on the train, ducking down as another shot just misses them. The train doors close and the train pulls away. Lara looks through her sniper scope and fires another shot, but its a tracker, hitting the side of the train as it pulls away. She then looks at her phone, seeing the marker begin to move. She smiles and walks away. Fabian peeks to see if the shooter is there, but sees nothing. He looks at the last two men with him and quickly kills them both before he cuts himself on his shoulder then stabs his own leg. His phone then rings. Michael is the caller, asking for an update, but Fabian tells him someone helped Abraham and they escaped after he fought them both, but was injured. Michael sighs deeply, telling Fabian to return and report. Abraham admits he now owes Patrick one and asks him to name his price. Patrick thinks for a moment and asks Abraham to promise him something
