CUT TO:

THE NEVERWHERE PYRAMID

DEN, strong, masculine and hairless, materializes cradled in

the hand of a huge stone idol. He is naked and unconscious

Above him, the glowing green ball is held in the idol's other

hand.

The camera pulls back to show that the idol is standing on the

deck, stop a huge, truncated pyramid. The deck forms a walkway

around a swirling pool of green water.

Kneeling all around the seething pool, are lizard-men, wearing

priest's robes. Two of them stand beside a glass coffin. Inside

the coffin, lies a naked girl, bound and gagged.

PRIESTS:

(chanting softly)

Uluhtec, Ulutec ...

Directly in fron of the idol, a regal-looking QUEEN, wearing

a revealing velvet cloak, is praying to the raging water.

QUEEN:

By the powers of the glowing

Loc-Nar placed in your idol's

hand, I demand you come forth,

Uluhtec!

The waters of the sacrifical pool rage more violently and

a low rumble is heard far below.

CUT TO:

THE IDOL'S HANDS

The green ball, (Loc-Nar), glows brightly as DEN opens his eyes,

looks down and notices his enormous genitals.

DEN:

Hmmm ... big!

Seeing an animal-skin hanging from the idol, he rips off a

piece and wraps it around himself.

DAN:

(V.O.)

There was no way I was gonna

walk around this place with

my dork hangin' out!

Suitably covered, he surveys the ritual taking place below him.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Wow! This looked like something

right out of the Ten Commandments.

CUT TO:

EDGE OF RAGING POOL

The QUEEN is kneeling before the seething water.

QUEEN:

Grant me your strength in return

for a living mortal sacrifice! It

has been ordained. Come forth Uluhtec!

I demand it!

Two lizard priests remove the terrified girl from the glass

case and hold her out over the swirling water. The QUEEN

nods and the two priests drop her in.

CUT TO:

THE IDOL'S WATER

Seeing the girl struggle in the water, DEN'S eyes grow wide.

DAN:

(V.O.)

What'd they do that for?

He stands and dives into the raging pool, swimming powerfully

towards the drowning girl.

CUT TO:

UNDER WATER:

Reaching her, DEN grabs the girl's bound ankles, hooks them

over his head and drags her through a decayed hole in the

underwater wall. Inside a stone tunnel, they are swept along

by the current.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Normally, I'd be dead by now. I

kept thinking I was going to run

out of air, but my new body worked

great. I just hoped her body was

working as good as mine.

CUT TO:

EXT. FIELD OF LILIES - DAY

DEN and the girl are washed out into a pond at the center of

a beautiful field of lilies. He pulls her out of the water,

unconscious. As he unties her, she begins to stir.

GIRL:

Thank you.

She takes DEN'S hand and lies back in the flower, her

beautiful breasts exposed in the sunlight.

DAN:

(V.O.)

She had the most beautiful eyes.

I wanted to make some conversation

but I found my new self asking the

same old stupid questions.

DEN:

Are you from around here?

GIRL:

Well, you may not believe this, but

I'm from another world - from a place

called Earth.

DEN:

Earth? I too am from Earth.

How did you get here?

GIRL:

My name is Katherine Wells, and

I'm from the British colony of

Gibraltar. Time makes no diff-

erence here, but there it was

the summer of 1892. It was

evening - I'd gone for a walk on

the cliffs when suddenly a sphere

fell from the sky. Following its

glow, I came to a shining gate made

out of light. Unable to resist, I

stepped through it and awoke in

this world. There I was thin and

weakly, fit only to stay indoors.

(she stands up)

But here, somehow I am stronger,

more alive,

(she stretches seductively)

... more fully a woman.

DAN:

(V.O.)

You're not kidding.

DEN:

(standing)

I, too seem better equipped on

this world.

(he holds out his arm)

My arms are more powerful.

(strecthes his fingers)

Even my fingers seem to hold

great strength.

KATHERINE walks up close to DEN, takes his hand and touches

the fingers to her breast.

KATHERINE:

You saved my life. I have no

reward to give you, but if any

part of me pleases your senses

- I would give it willingly.

She circles her nipple with his baby finger.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Wow! This was great! There was

no way I'd get a chick like this

back on Earth. I mean, look at

her!!

Taking KATHERINE in his arms, DEN lays her down on a bed of

flowers and begins to tenderly make love to her.

DAN:

(V.O.)

There was only one problem ...

A spiked boot appears in the frame. The camera pans up to

show a large, ugly hairy beast-man standing over DEN and

KATHERINE.

The camera then pulls back to reveal the entwined couple,

completely surrounded by a horde of grim, bestial warriors.

DAN:

(V.O.

I don't know who these jerks

were, but they sure picked a

bad time to show up ...

The ugly beast-men grab DEN and KATHERINE as we;
