Fiona L. Grilley/Arcade

## Scare Slaughter

### Prologue

(*We open on a movie poster of Fiona, in the dark Wyoming forest, while surrounded by multiple zombies, decapitating three with her chainsaw, with their blood spraying out where their heads, which fly up, used to be. At the middle to bottom of the poster are the words "FIONA L." at the top and "GRILLEY" at the bottom in Neue Helvetica Paneuropean 87 Condensed Heavy text, and at the top is the tagline, "The dead just don't stay dead.")*

* Fiona: *(narrating)* I'm Fiona L. Grilley, and I REkill zombies for a living. I've got dozens of rules when it comes to surviving shit like this.

*(We're then taken to a log cabin in Wyoming, where Fiona, before she cut her hair, which formerly grew down to her shoulders, to be as it is now, tearfully watching her friends and boyfriend being gruesomely killed by zombies.)*

* Fiona: *(narrating)* My friends and BF got their asses killed the fucking shit out of in the midst of a zombiepocalypse in my native Wyoming, but only I survived, 'cause the final girl's always the last one alive to tell the story.

### Rival Battle - vs. Neil Randolph

*(Cut to a Halloween-decorated neighborhood at night, where Fiona and Neil stand a foot away from each other, looking at each other.)*

* Fiona: Jeez, why is it that, every fucking time somebody dies, they come back and I have to make sure they stay dead this time?
* Neil: Beeeeeecaaauuuse Meeeeeephiiiiiistoooooo deeeeeeclaaarrred thaaaaaat thiiiiiis Haaallllooowwweeeeeen niiiiiight, theeeeee deeeaaad wooouuuld liiivvve ooonnnce mooorrre.
* Fiona: I could take 100 of you undead fuglies, no problem... (going into her fighting stance) and I'm sure as all hell handling you on your own'll be a piece of cake.
* Neil: Ooohhh, iiiiiis thaaaaaat soooooo? (goes into his fighting stance as well) Weee'llll seeeeee iiifff yooouuu caaannn suuurrrviiivvve thiiiiiis eeennncooouuunteeerrrr!

### Sub-Boss Battle - vs. Cain Balthazar

*(After the fight, a badly-beaten Neil is down on one knee and one hand.)*

* Fiona: Now that I've kicked the shit out of you, it's time for you to go back to the grave where you belong. *(revs her chainsaw and jams it into Neil's face, causing him to fall down onto the asphalt road, dead again)* And this time, you're gonna STAY dead! Ya hear me?

*(A ring of fire appears around Fiona, at her feet, and drags her screaming into it. Four seconds later, we see her in a Satanic temple where Mephisto's acolytes are seen kneeling around a glowing, orange-hot pentagram, performing a ritual of demonic nature. All of them wear sleeveless black leather longcoats with red gothic designs on the front, as well as black arm bands, dark gray pants, and black shoes.)*

* Acolytes: *(chanting in a demonic language)* *Gont Haeng Mephisto, esaeu qae s'aez la'm xael aeun sleves, la'm yozz esaeu iaiae yiz laenhg.* (Dark Lord Mephisto, you to whom we bow ourselves, we summon you into this world.)
* Fiona: Geez, where the fuck am I? I don't see any dead guys that need REkilling anywhere.

*(Cain, one of the acolytes, who appears to be an early-30s British man with long, dark brown hair, as well as stylized sideburns and a stylized soul patch, stands up to face Fiona.)*

* Cain (voiced by Crispin Freeman): So, you dare interrupt my ritual, survivor against the living dead?
* Fiona: I couldn't give less of a shit if you or this little girls' club of yours ain't recently died. Either way, if you're Mephisto's lackeys, you're asking to be mowed down, one by one, to prevent his coming!
* Cain: Foolish young woman, you misunderstand. This ritual to bring Mephisto into this world to create a living Hell in it is irrefutably inexorable.
* Fiona: Then, what? I'll become one of those rotting flybags I hate, and then there'll be no one left to fight against them? Fat chance, asshole!
* Cain: You are quite the toilet-mouth, are you not? How unfortunate that it will be better used for eating from humans' skulls once you perish and my Lord grants you another chance at life.
* Fiona: Hard pass. I only eat cast-iron-skillet-cooked pancakes and baked beans. You, on the other hand... *(goes into her fighting stance)* will be tasting razor-sharp metal when I'm done with your ass!
* Cain: You wish to test me, do you? If you fail, you will be sacrificed to my Lord. *(chanting alongside the other acolytes to continue their ritual before going into his fighting stance)* *Rael, yaeza, aeun Haeng! Niza! Niza, yoq ya minali aem sazz zoes xunr yiz laenhg gaelr uaiihk's yabbia apiedli raeyirdh liv'ake chmq aewabbi mnaez uq'n!* (Now, come, our Lord! Rise! Rise, that the fires of Hell may burn this world down until there exists nothing living left over from it!)

### Final Boss Battle - vs. Mephisto

*(After the fight, a badly-beaten Cain is down on one knee and one hand.)*

* Cain: Goddamn you... I never expected to be defeated... by a piece of rural trash such as yourself. But no matter how hard you try... You cannot stop my lord, Mephisto's arrival... into this world. My ritual... has already begun!
* Fiona: If your boss even THINKS about bringing you back as a zombie... I guess I'm gonna have to REkill you. Nighty-night, ya Satanist kiss-ass bastard! *(revs her chainsaw, raises it above Cain, then jams the guide bar into his chest, shredding his heart and killing him, then the now-dead acolyte falls to the floor in a pool of his own blood)*

*(Then, a ring of fire appears in front of Fiona, and from it emerges Mephisto, who is depicted as a demon with faded, purplish-red fur and goat-like legs with black hooves, as well as curved, red horns, black-clawed hands, a darker-colored tuft of hair on his head, as well as a short-to-medium-length beard of the same color, sunken black eyes with red, with black bleeding into them from the pupils, irises, and a frayed black cape as his only attire.)*

* Mephisto (voiced by Tony Todd): *(looking down at Cain's corpse)* No... *(turning to face Fiona)* How dare my most trusted servant be slain at your hands? *(spreads out his arms, obliterating the whole temple into ashes, which then burn away, and turning everything around him into a Hell-like area with flames erupting around him and Fiona and a glowing red pentagram in the middle of the area)* I suppose I will have to face you myself!
* Fiona: So, YOU'RE who's been bringing all those people back to life after they died on the night of Halloween so I can mutilate their sorry asses back to the grave where they belong! Explain yourself, fugly!
* Mephisto: Yes, it was all part of my master plan to create Hell on earth. And, if this is any way to speak to me, Mephisto, the Demon Lord of Hell, then I shall punish you adequately.
* Fiona: How? By killing me and THEN turning me into the same kind of no-good undead monster I've been hunting since I lost my friends and BF to them?
* Mephisto: You could never be more correct, but I do not think you will like it.
* Fiona: Nor will I like this whole "Hell on Earth" shit you're planning to dish out.
* Mephisto: Hahahaha... Have you come to grips with reality yet, Fiona Leslie Grilley? Without those crude little toys you possess, you would still be a heartbroken weakling, deprived entirely of any hope you may have had of ever seeing your friends or boyfriend again, sitting crying against the wall of an empty cabin.
* Fiona: Those losses are what toughened me into what I am now, and if I kill you right fucking now... *(going into her fighting stance)* I won't have to put up with any more dead guys popping up out of nowhere.
* Mephisto: If this is how you wish it to be, then so be it. *(going into his fighting stance as well)* May you burn into ashes in the endless inferno!

#### Hidden Boss Battle - vs. John Tobin

*To fight Tobin in Arcade Mode before the sub-boss and final boss battles (this can be done on any difficulty level), the following criteria must be met:*

* Fiona must be, and remain, your chosen character for the duration of the Arcade run.
* Don't lose any matches, and don't continue even once.
* Land five first attacks.
* Get at least one perfect victory.
* Win at least three or more rounds with a Nightmare Inducer.
* Win at least three times with an Ultimate Nightmare.

*(See SUB-BOSS BATTLE - vs. Cain Balthazar for the post-rival battle cutscene, which plays before the hidden boss battle instead of the sub-boss battle if the conditions to fight Tobin in Arcade Mode are met.)*

*(After the rival battle, two black-robed men in pig masks with long, black wigs attached to said masks show up out of nowhere to take Fiona by one arm each and drag her away, then we cut to black. Three seconds later, she wakes up in the hidden boss stage, the abandoned public washroom, and an elderly Caucasian man in a black and red hooded robe appears in front of her.)*

* Tobin (voiced by Tobin Bell): Hello, Fiona. I want to play a game.
* Fiona: Oh, great... Another goddamn zombie asking to be sent back to the grave.
* Tobin: Young woman, I am not a zombie. I am simply an ordinary human being. Now, continuing on from what I said earlier. Ever since the deaths of your friends and boyfriend at the hands of the non-living creatures that you so despise, you have possessed the knowledge of how to survive against them. Show me that you have what it takes to survive this test I am giving you.
* Fiona: Listen, Grandpa, I don't have time for your bullshit. (goes into her fighting stance) Your twisted little game ends now!
* Tobin: Then so be it. (going into his fighting stance) Fight me or die. Make your choice.

#### Ending

*(After the final battle against Mephisto, Fiona is seen vertically chainsawing him in half from the head down to the torso, with his lava blood gushing out of him as he dies.)*

Fiona: *(narrating)* See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya, Mephisto, for trying to create Hell on earth, you stupid demon fugly! I never expected to survive an encounter like this, but in the end, I managed to put an end to the demonic threat to the world. And, his head's not the only damn part of his body I just split in half, but his cold, black heart, too! I mean, what the fuck would I even do with evil power anyway?

*(We're then taken to the Wyoming forest at night, where Fiona is shown from the back, holding her chainsaw in front of her in defense against her dead friends and boyfriend, who have now become zombies, as they swarm at her alongside several other zombies.)*

Fiona: *(narrating)* Then, more zombies came right after my ass, my friends and BF among them, but I'm sure as all hell it's nothing I can't handle. If they hadn't died in the first place, I'd still be a goddamn weakling. With some of that Mephisto fucker's evil still remaining, I realized just because he's gone doesn't mean all those no-good dead guys he brought back to life are...

*(Cut to pre-credits roll, where the first 3 minutes and 43 seconds of "I.V" by X Japan start playing as we are treated to waist-up renders of all the characters, tinted red, with the names of their voice actors/actresses in Face Your Fears text on their left or right on a black screen. Afterwards, the credits start rolling, during which a different song, Thom Yorke's "Unmade," can be heard playing.)*
