Emperor Zakrov Page #6

Jay – What the hell do you want from us.

Agent Mark – We want your undivided attention.

Agent Mark looks to his assistant and asks in a serious tone of voice “is the camera rolling” yes sir, a reply his heard with a confirming hand signal.

Agent Mark – We want you to listen carefully, what we’re about to share with you is top secret, not even the White House is briefed on it, well not yet anyway.

Hans – Go on we’re listening.

Agent Mark – We’re your friend here, I know it sounds hard to believe, with all this police presence. You see everything you know, we already know, there wasn’t meant to be any survivors, but we have a simple case of a miracle.

Jay – What is it that you know?.

Agent Lawrence – We know about the space shuttle, about the passengers, we know in fact more than you do, and we’re looking for co-operation.

Agent Mark – The chemical warfare is just tip of the ice burg, the inevitable nuclear war, a world war and a new world order is nothing new to us. We’ve kept it on file since 1950, when we received intelligence on it, not long from now the world is going to be very different.

Hans – If you’re so God dam knowledgeable, how come no one did anything about it.

Agent – Good question, we came close several times, but each time our mission failed, this is the first time that we have come very close, thanks to you three. Their plan is to launch their attack from space, The spaceship, will strike from space, perfect idea, no one can reach them. Everyone on board the ship are members of the elite, their master plan is to rule the world for hundreds of thousands of years.

Hans – How exactly.

Agent Mark – I’m getting to that, you see before you escaped, they must have given each one of you an injection, as part of their initial trial period. The purpose of the injection is to preserve the body in space for a period of one hundred years, no one dies, no one ages, no one gets sick. When the time is over, all that have been injected will regain consciousness, all memory is retained. Then comes the time, where all passengers on board return to earth thanks to the spaceships advanced capability. On board this spaceship is the supreme ruler, a twenty-five-year-old man, Zakrov the great, as they call him. One hundred years from now, the world will be a lot different, for a start four billion people, will die from disease, starvation, wars, the rest will survive through a recruitment program, they will receive medical treatment, food, shelter and more importantly a place in their kingdom, their new world order, the empire.

Hans – Are you telling us, we’re facing judgment day.

Agent Lawrence – That’s exactly what we’re saying.

Agent Mark – Now this doesn’t just happen overnight, we’ve of course been prepared for the inevitable, so we’ve built places for the VIP, the extremely wealthy, powerful and influential. We never expected that we would have you three in on it.

Lizy – How are we in on it.

Agent Mark – You do remember me explaining to you about the injection, soon, I’m not sure how soon, you three will lose consciousness, and will regain consciousness sometime in the future, by then, humanity will be over, zombies following orders, except for you three. Now we are planning to fight back, but the odds are against us.

Hans – What is the plan, you sound like you have a plan and we’re in it.

Agent Lawrence – you guessed right Hans, it does.

Agent Mark – Let me explain, you three will lead the rebel forces in the future, they will be expecting you. First, we will be sending the three of you to Africa, a remote village, where they mummify their dead. We’ll speak to the tribe’s men, reach an agreement, and have you three in their ancient tomb, once you three regain consciousness in the next century, we will have laid down a plane for you, you will find those plans in a large metal container. Of course we will be long gone, you are an important part of our plan to save humanity.

Lizy breaks down crying, she is in a state of shock, she holds Hans’s hand for comfort, but eventually faints. A few days later, Hans, Jay and Lizy are boarded onto a private jet heading to Africa, they say their farewell to the world as they know it. They arrive at the African village and are greeted by tribes’ men, who provide them with shelter and food. All three are expected to sleep in the ancient tombs, and awaken in the next century. Hans and Lizy share an intimate moment as they sense their loss of consciousness.

Final scene, a monologue by Lizy

We saw the African tribes’ men for the last time, they gave us their blessing sprinkled holy water over us, showered us with their ritual chants and finally reassured us they will look after our bodies in their most sacred of tomb. I looked at Hans for the last time we said our farewell to each other before entering a state of deep sleep. We both knew that in the not-too-distant future, bombs will fall on our city, people will turn into zombies, mass death brought about by food shortage and disease will plague humanity. Most importantly I knew that we would return to face the greatest challenge of all, the battle against total world destruction.

The End
