Dimension of the in-between world, beach with pillars of light.

VOICEOVER ~ What happens to souls when they no longer have a destiny?

Alley in front of a bookstore.
A cut appears on the yoyo kid's face.
The child opens his eyes wide, stunned, horrified.
The whole picture of the set seems to fracture in two.
The blood flows from the top of the head to the bottom of the body.
The body splits in two in a horrible way.
Then the two body parts disintegrate in a kind of reddish explosion.

Subway corridor.
A cut appears on the face of the adult yo-yo kid.
He undergoes the same process, cut in half, disintegrated, his blood vaporized into fine red particles.
The blood particles splatter on other passers-by, but no one notices anything.
Finally, the stains disappear.

Wide channel.
In the boat race, ditto.

 

#3
Dimension of the super-interworld.

Lee Gon and Tae Eul are on maximus.
The horse stops and henis, terrified.

LEEGON - Oooh, Maximus, what's wrong?!

The sky is darkening, Lee Gon is worried, Tae Eul too.
Suddenly, the pillars of light lose their energy.

TAEEUL - Lee Gon... I'm scared.

The pillars are going out one by one.

LEEGON - We have to leave, quickly. Yah, maximus!!

Lee Gon gives the horse a blow to throw him at a gallop.
The horse runs into an increasingly chaotic landscape.
Pillars of light fading into dark tornadoes.
The usually calm sea becomes a storm. Particles everywhere.
Soon visibility becomes almost zero.
Lee Gon and Tae Eul are screaming.
Lee Gon looks at his hand, holding the legendary flute.
The flute disintegrates.

 

#4
Unknown location, desert city.

An ultra-modern and slightly futuristic city.
Sophisticated buildings are damaged by the erosion of time.
But no trace of life or vegetation on the facades.
Heavy clouds, no one in the streets.
Tae Eul and Lee Gon lie bruised in a deserted city square.
Lee Gon wakes up first and goes to take care of Tae Eul.

LEEGON - Tae Eul! Tae Eul, wake up!
TAEEUL - (stammering) Lee... Lee Gon... Wha...

Lee Gon then notices Maximus.
The horse is totally blackened, as if charred, dead.

TAEEUL - What happened... Where are we now?
LEEGON - The Manpasikjeok... It's gone!
TAEEUL - Disappeared, why?
TAEEUL - (Crying at Maximus) Ma... Maximus...

 

#5
Unknown location, desert city.

A lightning bolt strikes the ground, a few dozen meters from the couple.
When the light scatters, there is a silhouette of a man at the point of impact.
The man approaches.
He is dressed in a dark royal outfit, black and gold, magnificent.
Lee Gon and Tae Eul are squinting.
Amazed, they recognize the man when he comes within a few meters.
It's Lee Gon! Still young, but with white hair.
He has a huge scar that cuts his face in half.
In his hand, he holds the sword of the 4 tigers, but the sword is too short.
The tip of the sword is gone, the weapon was cut in half, certainly.
Without saying anything the man stands in front of the couple.

LEEGON - You are me...
LEEGON - Are you from the future? Do you know what...
LEEBIS - Sorry.

Catching Lee Gon by surprise, the man launches an assault.
He s his sword into Lee Gon's abdomen.

TAEEUL - Nooo!!!!

Blood spurts out of Lee Gon's mouth, blood on the ground.
The man pulls the sword out of Lee Gon's belly, who collapses dead.

LEEBIS - (to Tae Eul) Come with me, now.

Terrorized, horrified, Tae Eul steps back as the man approaches her.
