KE Y STAGE 3 SCRE EN PL AY EXCERPT FROM ‘A TEST OF FAITH’ MIKA You don’t need to protect me, save your energy for later. ASHLA Ok, but keep your guard up. Shinobi are fast. The sound of a blown horn is HEARD and a male voice is heard from the nearby loudspeaker. MALE VOICE [O.S] 2 prisoners have escaped. I repeat-2 prisoners have escaped. The commander has ordered that All shinobi should search the building and rendezvous in the courtyard. This is a red alert warning, I repeat- a red alert warning. ASHLA The gate,there. I’ll go first. Ashla starts climbing up a towering wall with her bare arms. Mika follows slowly behind her. CUT TO: 5 shinobi wearing billowing robes, stealthily run across the concrete courtyard. One of the shinobi aims a laser arrow at MIKA. INTERCUT TO MIKA: As MIKA is halfway up the gate, the arrow lunges into her back and she falls helplessly back down. INTERCUT TO SHINOBI: The firing shinobi spreads an evil smile across his pale face and in a flash he and the others speed across to the gate. INTERCUT TO MIKA: MIKA lands on her chest and she spits blood out of her mouth. MIKA [Trying to stand] ASH-LA. Help..Help me.
