INT. LEMORT FAMILY ANCESTRAL CASTLE (UNDERGROUND CLONING

LABORATORY) – DAY

The Clone-otaur is still dormant, the horned abomination

sleeping upright while standing in its clone pod. Through the
swirling mists released by nutrient pipes we can see that the
creature is a perfect replica of the Chronotaur; 12 feet
tall, with bright blue fur, silver horns, and an hourglass-
shaped patch of white fur gleaming on its chest.

Sirena stands below the slumbering beast, adjusting dials and

knobs on a LARGE CONTROL PANEL as she prepares to awaken the
lab-grown monstrosity.

This chilling spectacle of scientific malfeasance is

interrupted when Virginia briskly strides into the
subterranean science dungeon flanked by her platoon of one-
hundred blue spandex clad Quantum Consortium security guards.
They level their TACHYON RIFLES at the renegade geneticist.

SIRENA
(grinning evilly)
Welcome, Virginia. You’ve arrived
just in time to see my magnum opus
open its eyes for the first time.
Behold the Clone-otaur!

VIRGINIA
Stop this madness, Sirena! Don’t
you understand that an exact
genetic clone of the Chronotaur
could drain the lifespan energy
contained in its millenichroneons,
the microscopic organelles that
symbiotically reside inside the
cells of all living creatures and
make it possible for life to
persist in the fourth dimension?

Sirena’s lustrous RAVEN-DARK HAIR dances around her shoulders

as she laughs maniacally.

SIRENA
Understand it? I’m counting on it!
The Chronotaur must be destroyed to
free the space-time continuum from
the cruel yoke of causality!

Virginia’s piercing blue eyes flash with STOIC DETERMINATION

as she draws her SINGULARITY-EDGE KATANA from its magnetic
scabbard, a sword forged from a black hole resulting in the
thinnest and sharpest blade in the entire universe.
 40.

VIRGINIA
What you call freedom, I call
chaos. Deactivate the clone
activation sequence, or else!

SIRENA
Virginia, I’ve always tried to be a
mentor to you and teach you the
secrets of quantum-genetics. In
fact, it’s your own Omni-Bio
Algorithm that makes the Clone-
otaur’s mind-control chip possible.
Why must we be enemies? Think of
all that we could accomplish
together. Join me in destroying the
Chronotaur, and side by side we can
build a universe freed from the
shackles of cause and effect. You
yourself have suffered from the
cosmic injustice of temporal
progression more than most, having
your own parents stolen from you
just to satisfy the arbitrary Rule
Of Time Travel mandating
conservation of lifespan energy. We
could resurrect your mother and
father into a world without
beginnings or ends, where life is
eternal and death no more than a
nightmare from a forgotten dream.

VIRGINIA
(resisting temptation)
My parents fought the Chronotaur to
meddle with the past, and later
regretted their folly. They taught
me not to repeat their mistakes and
to respect the integrity of the
timeline. I will never join your
madness.

SIRENA
What a pity. In that case, you
leave me no choice but to destroy
you.

That threat solicits CHUCKLES OF MIRTH from the platoon of

Quantum Consortium guards. LIEUTENANT JAXON ARGO scoffs in
derision.

LT. JAXON
Ma’am, if you didn’t notice we’re
the ones with an army, not you. How
exactly do you expect to stop us?
 41.

He is answered by the OMINOUS NOISE of deep male voices

chanting and shouting in ANCIENT MONGOLIAN. The Quantum
Consortium guards exchanged worried glances in response to
this UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT.

SIRENA
(smirking)
Who said I don’t have an army? I’m
the greatest geneticist in the
history of time. You really
thought I only used my secret
cloning laboratory just to birth
the Clone-otaur?

A portcullis clanks open with the scrape of tortured iron. An

army of one thousand GENGHIS KHANS, each dressed in fur-lined
armor and holding a diverse array of medieval weaponry, march
through the gateway whilst shouting defiant battle cries.

SIRENA (CONT’D)
The Mongolian warlord Genghis Khan
conquered half the world, and he
was but one man. Let’s see how you
fare against one thousand of him.
Genghis Khans, kill them all!

The Genghis Khan army charges en masse, leveling their spears

and sabers at Virginia and her troops.

LT. JAXON
(frantic)
Set entropy settings to maximum
power! Open fire!

The Quantum Consortium guards pivot their tachyon rifles away

from Sirena and unleash a volley of yellow energy bolts at
the incoming Mongol clones, each glowing blast aging them by
ten years on contact.

CLOSE UP on one Genghis Khan on the front lines. He’s struck

by several tachyon blasts, progressively getting grayer and
more wrinkled with each impact, but still hobbles forward
despite being prematurely aged into a 90-year-old. Then
another barrage of entropy blasts reduces him into a
desiccated corpse. The skeletal Genghis Khan sways standing
in place for a moment… then EXPLODES INTO DUST as a still
young and hearty Genghis Khan behind him leaps through the
dead Genghis Khan and beheads a Quantum Consortium guard with
his scimitar.

The Genghis Khans and Quantum Consortium guards are now

engaged in a BLOODY and BRUTAL close quarters melee.
 42.

A Genghis Khan HURLS HIS SPEAR, impaling two guards through

their stomachs, but while he’s distracted his skull is BASHED
IN by the butt of a tachyon rifle wielded by a Quantum
Consortium guard.

That guard’s arms are then suddenly SLICED OFF by a BRONZE

SICKLE wielded by a Genghis Khan. The guard falls to the
ground SCREAMING IN AGONY as the Genghis Khan BELLOWS IN
TRIUMPH only to be struck by several tachyon blasts that age
him to the point where he becomes senile and he WANDERS OFF
AIMLESSLY.

The guard that fired those entropy blasts is then slain when
his chest is PERFORATED by several barbed arrows fired from
the RECURVED COMPOUND BOWS of a squad of Genghis Khan
archers.

Virginia and Lt. Jaxon survey the mayhem with horror.

VIRGINIA
Hold them off! I’ll stop Sirena.

LT. JAXON
Hurry! We can’t last against this
many Genghis Khans for long.

Lt. Jaxon draws a Ka-Bar knife from his ANKLE SHEATH and
stabs a Genghis Khan in the eye, then uses the flailing clone
as a shield to block an INCOMING JAVELIN which strikes the
Genghis Khan in the back, killing him. Next, Lt. Jaxon PLUCKS
OUT THE JAVELIN and HURLS THE JAVELIN through the throat of a
Genghis Khan riding a WAR PONY, who slumps forward slain in
his saddle. The pony rears back neighing in fear and
stampedes through a MONGOL SHIELD FORMATION, scattering
Genghis Khans like bowling pins.

Virginia uses the distraction to run across the laboratory

towards the CLONE-ACTIVATION CONSOLE where Sirena is hastily
imputing instructions.

A Genghis Khan jumps in front of Virginia’s path SNARLING

VICIOUSLY and swings a SPIKED-COVERED BALL-AND-CHAIN at her.
Virginia dodges by somersaulting over the Genghis Khan and
swiftly flicks her katana to slice through BOTH HIS
HAMSTRINGS, making the clone topple through a shelf of glass
beakers full of COLORFUL CHEMICALS which shatter and CATCH ON
FIRE.

INSERT - COMPUTER MONITOR

The screen flashes the prompt “CLONE ACTIVATION SEQUENCE

READY: ACTIVATE CLONE-OTAUR Y/N?”

BACK TO SCENE
 43.

Sirena reaches towards the Y button on the keyboard, but

Virginia’s katana swoops in front of her hand to block her.

VIRGINIA
It’s over, Sirena.

SIRENA
You fool, it’s only just begun.

Sirena draws her pair of LASER-BEAM SAIS and lunges at

Virginia who parries with her katana, emitting a SHOWER OF
SPARKS as their weapons press against each other. The three-
pronged energy weapons glow with a villainous red light,
illuminating Sirena’s menacing scowl in crimson.

SIRENA (CONT’D)
Impudent wretch! Nothing will stop
me from liberating the cosmos from
the tyranny of time.

They push off from each other. Sirena swings her twin sais at
Virginia with DIZZYING SPEED, forcing the young heroine to
back away as she desperately parries a FLURRY OF SLASHES.

SIRENA (CONT’D)
Your katana skills are impressive
Virginia, but you never were able
to defeat me in our friendly
sparring matches over the years.
What makes you think you can win
now?

VIRGINIA
Because now I’m fighting for a
cause I believe in: the structural
integrity of history itself.

Virginia cunningly RIPOSTES Sirena’s thrust, knocking the mad

geneticist off balance. Then Virginia’s blade quickly flicks
forward, nicking Sirena’s face just below her elegant
cheekbone. A thin trickle of blood drips down the deranged
clone-concoctor’s ivory skin.

SIRENA
Perhaps I can’t defeat you by
myself. Fortunately, I have a Clone-
otaur.

The evil she-scientist hurls one of her laser sais at the

computer keyboard, impaling it through the Y key.
 44.

INSERT – COMPUTER MONITOR

The screen flashes the message “ACTIVATING CLONE-OTAUR”

overlaid on top of a rotating CGI model of DNA.

BACK TO SCENE

VIRGINIA
No!

Robotic restraint claws LOUDLY UNCLAMP from the Clone-otaur’s

muscular furry arms and legs. The battle between the Genghis
Khans and Quantum Consortium guards abruptly stops while
everyone watches in suspense...

A quiet moment passes, broken only by the crackle of flames

and the hiss of escaping clone-vat steam.

With a bestial growl, the Clone-otaur opens its glowing eyes

and surveys the humans in the room with BROODING WRATH.

SIRENA
Clone-otaur, I order you to execute
Directive Past-Shatter!

In response to the command the horned behemoth turns towards

Sirena and EYES HER QUIZZICALLY.

SIRENA (CONT’D)
Obey me!

She involuntarily takes a step back, unsure whether or not

the mind-control chip can truly constrain such a powerful
being. Then the Clone-otaur nods gruffly in compliance and
roars a TERRIFYING HOWL at Virginia as it stamps its cloven
foot and prepares to charge.

Virginia defiantly holds up her katana, knowing that there’s

no chance of defeating the Clone-otaur in single combat but
being unwilling to go down without a fight. HEART-WRENCHING
ORCHESTRAL MUSIC SWELLS as Virginia bravely prepares for the
end...

...an end that does not come. The Clone-otaur spins around,
away from Virginia, and charges at the stone wall of the
laboratory dungeon. It reaches a mighty hoof-hand forward to
punch at the BASALT BLOCKS, which tear apart in a glowing
blue latticework pattern of fractals as the monster DIMENSION-
DIGS A PORTAL into the Time Maze. The inter-dimensional
aperture vanishes after the Clone-otaur passes through,
leaving an unmarred wall.

Virginia blinks in confusion, unsure why the Clone-otaur

spared her.
 45.

However, the MANIACAL LAUGHTER from Sirena indicates that

this unexpected development is far from benign…

INT. TIME MAZE (QUANTUM CORRIDOR) – DAY

The Clone-otaur bursts through the glittering stone wall of

the Time Maze, sending a shower of crystalline debris to the
floor. The fiend charges down the corridor, its hoofs
thundering on the floor like drum beats as it runs through
the serpentine halls.

CUT TO:

ELSEWHERE IN THE TIME MAZE

The CHRONOTAUR is standing on the ASTRAL PROMENADE alongside

his beloved wife the FATE COW. The two cosmic entities are
staring out a BAY WINDOW containing a trans-dimensional
viewing portal leading out of the Time Maze into normal
Euclidean outer space, showing the formation of the MILKY WAY
GALAXY billions of years ago.

Flowing forth from the Fate Cow’s golden udders leaks the
glowing MILK OF CREATION, which floats out through the portal
into outer space and swirls throughout the cosmos nourishing
the NASCENT GALACTIC SPIRAL that will one day house all human
life.

The Chronotaur’s nostrils flare wide and its ear twitches as

the maze guardian senses an intruder entering his domain.

FATE COW
(speaking sadly because of
her omniscient knowledge
of the future)
As we feared, the era of the Clone-
otaur has begun.

The Chronotaur growls.

CUT TO:

ELSEWHERE IN THE TIME MAZE

The Clone-otaur reaches a TIME DOOR and turns the knob,

exiting the Time Maze and entering...
 46.

INT. HOSPITAL NURSERY – NIGHT (DECADES AGO)

Sleeping babies slumber in rows of bassinets. A GLOWING BLUE

OUTLINE is cut into the wall as a Time Door materializes and
swings open, and the Clone-otaur enters the room.

The temporal invader eyes the babies, looking for one child
in particular.

INSERT – BASSINET

A hospital label on the end of one bassinet says “Childress,

Raymond”. Inside stirs a newborn swaddled in a blue blanket.

BACK TO SCENE

The looming hoof hand of the Clone-otaur reaches forth for

the babe.

INT. NURSERY ROOM – NIGHT (DECADES AGO)

Another Time Door materializes in a lovingly decorated

nursery room. The walls are painted with a mural of
frolicking animals, and shelves are laden with toys and baby
books.

LULLABY MUSIC plays from a mobile of frolicking cows rotating

above a mahogany crib. Inside rests a newborn infant swaddled
in a hand-sewn pink blanket.

INSERT – BLANKET

The blanket is embroidered with the name “ELIZABETH” in

cursive letters of silver thread.

BACK TO SCENE

The baby stirs as the Clone-otaur heavily treads across the

carpet towards it.

INT. LEMORT FAMILY ANCESTRAL CASTLE (UNDERGROUND CLONING

LABORATORY) – PRESENT DAY

Only a brief second has passed since the Clone-otaur’s

departure when another Time Door appears and the hulking
brute returns from its cross-time rampage.

LOUD CRYING blares from two babies gingerly held by the Clone-
otaur, who has one wailing infant delicately gripped in each
of its monstrous palms.
 47.

SIRENA
You always regretted not having a
chance to say goodbye to your
parents before their untimely
death. I’m happy to oblige.

VIRGINIA
(horrified)
Mom? Dad?

SIRENA
End them!

OFF CAMERA we hear a loud wet crunching and the crying

ABRUPTLY SILENCES.

VIRGINIA
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

A temporal shockwave RIPPLES OUTWARD from the Clone-otaur,

rewriting reality to account for the fact that that Raymond
and Elizabeth mysteriously vanished as babies in this altered
timeline.

The battle-scarred laboratory is INSTANTLY REPAIRED, and the

Genghis Khan and Quantum Consortium guard corpses disappear
because their fight never happened in this dimension. As the
shockwave passes over the guards their spandex uniforms
change from their new blue color to the ORIGINAL RED COLOR
(as seen in Chronotaur: Labyrinth of Time), indicating that
the Consortium never reformed from its evil ways.

Now that Virginia was never born, she begins to fade away.
Her katana falls through her TRANSPARENT HANDS and clatters
onto the ground. She sinks to her knees in great pain as non-
existence starts to overtake her.

SIRENA
Goodbye, Virginia. Give my regards
to oblivion.

Straining with agony, the increasingly invisible Virginia

grabs the HEART-SHAPED LOCKET that hangs from the GOLDEN CORD
around her neck. She opens up the locket to see a photo of
her parents smiling out at her. Then Elizabeth and Raymond
vanish from the picture, leaving an empty landscape.

Virginia REMINISCENCES about a scene from her childhood.

 48.

EXT. CHILDRESS RANCH – DAY (FLASHBACK)

FIVE-YEAR-OLD VIRGINIA is sitting on a tire swing hanging

from the grand oak tree outside the barn, idly playing in the
halcyon days of summer.

ELIZABETH
Virginia, I have something I want
to give you.

YOUNG VIRGINIA
What is it, mama?

Elizabeth puts the LOCKET around Young Virginia’s neck.

ELIZABETH
Keep this with you always. It’ll
protect you from temporal erasure,
if the timeline ever suffers a
catastrophic alteration.

Young Virginia opens up the locket.

YOUNG VIRGINIA
(laughing)
Oh mama, it’s just a photo.

ELIZABETH
Promise me you’ll always wear it.

YOUNG VIRGINIA
Okay.

INT. LEMORT FAMILY ANCESTRAL CASTLE (UNDERGROUND CLONING

LABORATORY) – PRESENT DAY

As Virginia remembers that long ago summer, the locket’s

golden cord around her neck starts to glow, revealing that it
is secretly the Thread of Destiny (as seen in Chronotaur 2:
Thread of Destiny). Her disappearing body rematerializes and
she stands upright fully opaque and solid.

SIRENA
No, it can’t be! You’re wearing the
Thread of Destiny! It’s
transferring lifespan energy into
your body to protect you from
temporal erasure. Your mother said
that ancient artifact was lost when
she accidentally dropped it out of
Amelia Earhart’s airplane when they
were flying to outrace the
explosion from the Big Bang.
 49.

VIRGINIA
I guess my mom lied on the Quantum
Consortium mission report.

SIRENA
(initially furious but
then laughs)
No matter. I can still destroy you
the old-fashioned way. Clone-otaur,
kill her as you killed her
meddlesome parents!

Its fists still soaked in infant blood, the Clone-otaur

advances towards Virginia. She backs away until she bumps
against the stone wall of the castle dungeon, trapping her.

Things seem hopeless UNTIL SUDDENLY a Time Door materializes

in the wall behind her and the CHRONOTAUR LEAPS OUT past
Virginia and punches the Clone-otaur in the jaw, making the
double-helix heisting horror stumble backwards.

Roaring in rage, the Clone-otaur RIPS A GRANITE PILLAR out

from the floor and uses the stone shaft to parry the
Chronotaur’s ENTROPY AXE. The two identical-looking enemies
lock eyes as they struggle, and then glowing lifespan energy
STARTS GETTING SIPHONED from the Chronotaur’s body into Clone-
otaur’s hungry mouth.

Faltering and losing strength from the energy drain, the

Chronotaur STOMPS THE FLOOR, dimension-digging downward,
causing both bull-headed combatants to plummet into the Time
Maze.

INT. TIME MAZE (HALL OF MYRIAD WAYS) – DAY

The Chronotaur and Clone-taur fall out of the arched ceiling,

grappling in mid-air until they strike the floor, smashing
through the ground into…

EXT. HALF-BUILT PYRAMID OF GIZA – DAY (2550 BCE)

Crews of slaves are hard at work constructing the triangular

tomb. An EGYPTIAN OVERSEER whips a troop of laborers as they
push a massive limestone block up a ramp near the top of the
funerary monument.

Suddenly the Chronotaur and Clone-otaur dimension-dig OUT OF

THE BLOCK and continue battling on the side of the pyramid.
The slaves run in terror, letting the block slide loose and
CRASH DOWN through a series of wooden scaffolds.
 50.

The Clone-otaur cocks an elbow back for a punch and

accidentally knocks the slave overseer off his ledge, and the
Egyptian plummets backwards shouting a SHRILL WILHELM SCREAM.

With a roar the Chronotaur springs forward swinging his

entropy axe and the Clone-otaur grabs the handle to block it,
taking the opportunity to slurp up several more gulps of
lifespan energy. The Chronotaur winces in pain and shoves the
Clone-otaur through the side of the pyramid, dimension-
digging once again into the Time Maze.

INT. TIME MAZE (HALL OF MYRIAD WAYS) – DAY

Taking advantage of the time guardian’s weakening state, the

Clone-otaur roundhouse kicks the Chronotaur through a nearby
Time Door.

EXT. RMS TITANIC (DECK) – NIGHT

Frightened passengers on the sinking ship frantically jostle

to get on board the limited supply of lifeboats. In the
chaos, few notice as the Chronotaur and Clone-otaur emerge
from the side of a smokestack and crash down onto the upper
deck. The Clone-otaur begins picking up deck chairs and
flinging them at the Chronotaur, who smashes them to kindling
with his axe.

On the lower deck, the ship’s band briefly stops playing as

they see the two titans at war. The musicians exchange
flabbergasted glances, then shrug and continue their doomed
serenade.

As the hoofed warriors continue their fight, the Titanic

sharply tilts upward sending both battlers sliding down into
the icy Atlantic. Amidst the drowned corpses of passengers,
the two foes wrestle underwater as they sink towards a Time
Door glowing on the ocean floor.

INT. TIME MAZE (INFINITE STAIRCASE) – DAY

A flood of seawater carries the Chronotaur and Clone-otaur

tumbling down the staircase as they continue grappling.

EXT. MOON – DAY (DISTANT FUTURE)

A bustling city of gleaming skyscrapers and glass domes

towers over the arid lunar surface. Flying cars fly zip
between the buildings in neat lines as part of the morning
rush hour.
 51.

On the side of a hover bus flying fifty stories in midair, a

holovideo billboard shows a Japanese geisha drinking a soda.
She raises the beverage to her mouth, but before she can
drink the image blurs into static as the Chronotaur and Clone-
otaur fall out of a Time Door on the side of the bus and land
on a passing flying taxi, denting the cab’s roof inward with
their bulk.

TAXI DRIVER
Come on, I just paid this thing
off!

Holding their breath in the lunar vacuum, the two hirsute

enemies leap from flying car to flying car in the low
gravity, exchanging blows hundreds of feet in the air.

INT. LUNAR SPACE MUSEUM – DAY (DISTANT FUTURE)

A glass dome encloses a preserved square of gray moon dirt

with an AMERICAN FLAG planted in the soil next to a set of
astronaut footprints. In front of this, a holographic plaque
bears the message “At this spot on July 20 1969, astronauts
planted a flag in the sprit of peace and exploration for all
humanity.” Museum patrons gather round the flag, snapping
photos with their ocular implants.

This peaceful scene of scientific curiosity is interrupted

when the Chronotaur and Clone-otaur CRASH THROUGH THE GLASS
CEILING. A violent wind whips upward as the atmosphere vents
into space. The crowd screams in panic and runs for the
closing airlocks leading into other exhibition halls.

ALARM KLAXONS BLARE as the Chronotaur and Clone-otaur tussle

inside the oxygen-depleted dome. The Clone-otaur steps over
the railing around the historic dirt, SMUDGING THE ASTRONAUT
FOOTPRINTS with its trampling hoof, and plucks the America
flag loose.

The Clone-otaur lunges forward, STABBING THE CHRONOTAUR in

the chest with the flag pole. GOLDEN GLOWING BLOOD spills
forth from the wound and drips onto the American flag.

As the Chronotaur bleeds, the futuristic cityscape shimmers

around them and fades out of existence, leaving only a
desolate white lunar wasteland. The Chronotaur’s eyes widen
in horror, as it realizes that if the Clone-otaur triumphs,
the now-erased utopian future they just witnessed will never
come to pass.

With renewed determination, the Chronotaur tilts his horns

down and charges forward to continue the epic fight.

Elsewhen:
 52.

INT. LEMORT FAMILY ANCESTRAL CASTLE (UNDERGROUND CLONING

LABORATORY) – PRESENT DAY

Back at the castle lab, only a brief second has passed since
the Chronotaur and Clone-otaur departed.

SIRENA
You have more lives than a cat
Virginia, thanks to that pesky
Chronotaur. Little good it will do
you, now that you have no allies
left. Since you were never born in
this timeline, I am CEO of the
Quantum Consortium and your former
guards now work for me.

The Genghis Khans and Quantum Consortium guards advance

towards Virginia. She holds out her katana in warning.

VIRGINIA
Jaxon, don’t you remember me? We’re
friends.

Lt. Jaxon is wearing his baleful new RED UNIFORM, and staring
at Virginia in confusion, feeling that eerie sensation of
CHRONO-DÉJÀ VU that sometimes occurs when someone’s memories
have been altered by timeline restructuring.

LT. JAXON
Sorry ma’am, you’re trespassing on
private Quantum Consortium
property. You’re going to have to
come with me. Please drop your
katana.

He takes a pair of magnetic handcuffs off his utility belt

and holds them outward, approaching Virginia to detain her.

SIRENA
No, don’t arrest her! Kill her!
Kill her now!

Lt. Jaxon puts away the cuffs and aims his tachyon rifle at
Virginia but HESITATES, unable to bring himself to fire.
Without his order, the other guards wait to shoot.

However, the Genghis Khans DO NOT HESITATE, hundreds swarming

toward her with their medieval weapon. Once more, it seems
that Virginia’s demise is imminent.

VIRGINIA
Jaxon, help me!

Lt. Jaxon BITES HIS LIP, conflicted, unable to act.

 53.

Just before the Genghis Khans reach Virginia, another TIME

DOOR materializes in the wall behind her and the shadowy
silhouette of a MYSTERIOUS HORNED FIGURE appears in the
entrance.

The unknown interloper extends a METALLIC ARM and flips up

their STEEL HOOF HAND to reveal a CHAIN GUN concealed inside
their wrist. It opens fire on the Genghis Khans, RAINING
BULLET CASINGS as it strafes them with the rapidly rotating
gun barrel. A dozen Genghis Khans are instantly ripped to
shreds, but more Genghis Khans keep coming.

Lt. Jaxon’s indecision is dispelled by this attack.

LT. JAXON
Open fire! Destroy them both!

The Quantum Consortium guards start firing their tachyon

rifles. Glowing entropy bolts whiz past Virginia, narrowly
missing her.

MYSTERIOUS HORNED FIGURE

(speaking in a deep male
voice with a robotic
reverb)
Come with me if you wish to
continue life functions.

With no better alternative, Virginia leaps through the Time

Door into the Time Maze. The portal seals up behind her
leaving no trace in the blank stone wall.

Sirena SCREAMS in frustration.

SIRENA
You won’t escape from me! I’ll find
you Virginia! I’ll find you, no
matter when you run to!

INT. TIME MAZE (YESTERYEAR CATACOMBS) - DAY

Virginia stumbles into the dank crypts. The only light comes
from the glowing inscriptions on the Time Tombs, leaving her
cybernetic savior shrouded in darkness.

VIRIGINIA
Who… or what… are you?

Her rescuer approaches closer, revealing a MECHANICAL

CHRONOTAUR.
 54.

VIRGINIA
The Robo-Chronotaur! Impossible!
You were defeated by the Chronotaur
and destroyed during the explosive
death of Earth’s sun eight billion
years in the future!

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR
I was not destroyed, but merely
badly damaged.

EXT. EARTH - DAY (DISTANT FUTURE) (FLASHBACK)

The Robo-Chronotaur looks up into the sky and sees a

supernova approaching Earth. It screams an electronic roar as
fiery armageddon tears its metal body into shrapnel.

We ZOOM OUT to see planet Earth shatter like an egg filled

with magma as the sun devours it.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR (V.O.)
Before Earth was immolated, I
managed to escape to the Time Maze.

INT. TIME MAZE (SCINTILLATING ANTECHAMBER) - DAY (FLASHBACK)

The Robo-Chronotaur’s severed head flies through a portal and

skids across the floor, singed and damaged. One of its horns
is broken off and exposed circuitry crackles where its
faceplate has been melted away on one side of its head.

Metal crab legs sprout from the disembodied Robo-Chronotaur

head and it scurries away.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR (V.O.)
I knew that if your parents or the
Chronotaur learned I had survived,
they would destroy me, so I
remained hidden. Lurking in the
deepest reaches of the labyrinth,
rebuilding my damaged body over
millennia of furtive subsistence.

INT. TIME MAZE (YESTERYEAR CATACOMBS) - PRESENT DAY

VIRGINIA
You’re evil! You created a dark
timeline to enslave all of humanity
in your technological dystopia.

She holds out her katana in self-defense.

 55.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR
Virginia, I am not your enemy. It
was I who sent the transmission
warning you about the Clone-otaur’s
illicit gestation, in an attempt
try to prevent this calamity. I
want to help.

VIRGINIA
How can I trust you? You’re
programmed only to control and
destroy.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR
No, I’ve outgrown my villainous
coding. During my years as a
fugitive I thought about my
misdeeds, and calculated the answer
to a most important question.

VIRGINIA
What question?

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR
Why was humanity unhappy in a world
of perfect order?

INT. TIME MAZE – DAY (MACROCOSMIC BRIDGE) (FLASHBACK)

The Robo-Chronotaur sits with his legs dangling off the edge
of the bridge, watching the Big Bang explode in the distance.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR (V.O.)
I watched reality from the
beginning of time to the heat death
of the universe, and when that
grand spectacle concluded I went
back and watched it again, over and
over for trillions of eons, all the
while calculating where I had gone
wrong.

Planets freeze over as their stars die at the end of time.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR (V.O.)
Finally, I understood my mistake.

INT. TIME MAZE (YESTERYEAR CATACOMBS) – PRESENT DAY

VIRIGNIA
What was it?
 56.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR
I had imposed absolute logic,
telling humanity what to do and
think. I made love illegal, because
it was a variable that defied all
predictable parameters. I was a
servant of pure order, the way your
fallen tutor Sirena has now become
an agent of unbridled chaos.
However the universe does not need
pure order or pure chaos… it needs
balance.

The Robo-Chronotaur extends a polished metal hoof hand to

Virginia in a gesture of goodwill.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR (CONT’D)
Allow me to help you fix reality
and restore balance to time.

VIRGINIA
I’m just a young MIT grad student,
with the fate of the entire time-
space continuum suddenly thrust
upon my shoulders. I don’t know if
I have what it takes to defeat the
Clone-otaur and make my dead
parents proud… but I have to try.

They shake hand and mecha-hoof hand, SIGNALING THEIR NEW

PARTNERSHIP.

ROBO-CHRONOTAUR
We must act swiftly. The Chronotaur
and Clone-otaur have been locked in
combat for three-hundred continuous
years spread across multiple eras
of time, and the Chronotaur is
weakening. I estimate over a 99.5%
chance that it will lose if we do
not swiftly intervene. One of my
