INT. Underground tunnel in the catacombs

NIGEL and SCOTT are running down a dark tunnel in the Catacombs. They are being chased by skeletons with small animals such as mice and spiders all around blocking their way.


NIGEL

We need to do something, our lives are at risk.

SCOTT

Why is it not working? What are we doing wrong?

Nigel slightly turns his body as he looks behind him at the Skeletons. Nigel points at the Skeletons like he is trying to get rid of them using powers. There is no effect as Nigel and Scott carries on running away.


NIGEL

My time in the armed forces has taken its toll. I cant run for much longer, we need to do something.


Nigel stumbles as he steps on a large rock, Scott helps him regain his balance as they almost get caught.

SCOTT

Get in here!

Nigel and Scott get a few meters away from the army of Skeletons behind them and they take a sharp turn into a dark corridor.


NIGEL

I don't understand what's happening! Why are our powers not working?

SCOTT

They must have a recharge time. We will stay here until we have them back.

The crowd of Skeletons rush past the end of the dark corridor and do not notice Nigel and Scott. As Nigel and Scott stand in the dark corridor, a figure rushes towards them out of the dark. They panic as it gets closer and closer. Scott raises his hand and a wall comes out of the ground and blocks the access.


NIGEL

What was that! We need to move before this gets worse.

SCOTT

We are safe here, my powers have recharged. We stay here for now.

Nigel and Scott sit down in the dark corridor. They are now trapped until their powers recharge. The camera turns to the wall as there is banging as if somebody is trying to break the wall.

FADE TO BLACK LOOKING AT THE WALL
