Jason X Page #12

Rizzo stares at Boeman.

RIZZO:

Look, I'm sorry. I really am, but aren't you

forgetting about ...

SUDDENLY a pile of rubble EXPLODES.

Jason rises, his back to them.

DELONGPRE:

Back to the labs!

But Jason has other plans. Seemingly unfazed by the past events he

rushes after them.

INT. GRENDEL BRIDGE

COMPUTER VOICE:

Dam-damage port side 59 percent.

Decompression 40 percent. Gravity-y rotors

failing.

INT. CARGO BAY

Our kids race toward the door, Jason right behind them --

Thorgan slams the door panel with his good arm. SPARKS fly.

The door won't open.

THORGAN:

Oh sh*t.

They turn as Jason looms toward them, then --

EVERYTHING STARTS TO FLOAT

Cargo and debris. Our heroes. Jason.

The loss of gravity and Jason's steamrollering momentum SLAMS him into

the

cargo doors, BREAKING them open and sending him tumbling backwards.

JANESSA:

This is just great.

KAY-EM 14

Engage magnetics.

Kay-Em 14's left hand magnetically locks to the Cargo frame a

ANOTHER ANGLE:

Jason grabs Rizzo's ankle. Boeman, floating close, punches Jason in the

back of the head.

Still holding Rizzo's ankle, Jason topples, spinning the two out of

frame.

The force of the punch sends Boeman in the opposite direction.

THORGAN:

This is crazy, we can't do anything like this!

ANOTHER ANGLE:

Rizzo KICKS Jason in the top of the head, sending him SLAMMING into the

ceiling.

A SEVERED ARM:

floats past DeLongpre. There's a chain gun still clutched by the hand.

Delongpre grabs both and turns the gun on Jason.

BRAAATTTT...

Jason is sent further back, but the force of the chaingun SLAMS

Delongpre into a back wall.

He's knocked unconcious.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

As Thorgan manages to grab Kay-Em 14 around the neck.

THORGAN:

Grab my hand!

Janessa takes his hand and in turn reaches out and snags the unconcious

dELONGPRE'S FOOT.

JANESSA:

Boeman, can you reach DeLongpre?

We'll push you in.

CARGO - MIDSHIP

Jason is floating toward the other end of the Cargo Bay,

unable to stop himself.

BOEMAN:

reaches for DeLongpre. Inches away. Finally he grabs Delongpre by the

locks of his

hair, pulls himself closer.

DELONGPRE:

Hey! That hurts.

ANOTHER ANGLE:

Rizzo is floatin g up near the ceiling. She manages to grab hold of a

hanging piece of

busted catwalk.

DELONGPRE:

(to Rizzo)

Push off toward us.

JANESSA:

Forget her, she's a pain in the ass.

Let her hang there.

Crutch's body floats into our heroes, his intestines spilling from his

open gut,

tangling around our heroes.

THORGAN:

I'm gonna spew.

JANESSA:

That ought'a help the situation.

DELONGPRE:

Do it Rizzo! We'll catch you.

RIZZO'S POV

Rizzo stares at the human rope that consists of Thorgan, Janessa,

Boeman, and Delongpre.

RIZZO:

What if you miss?

DELONGPRE:

What if we don't?

ANOTHER ANGLE:

AS JASON steadies himself against a wall, focuses in one Rizzo, then

pushes off with his feet.

HE ROCKETS toward her!

DELONGPRE:

He's coming right at you!

Rizzo spots Jason and pushes off! But her aim was HURRIED...

and bad. She's gonna miss them.

Boeman flips in the air!

BOEMAN:

(to Delongpre)

Grab my feet!

Delongpre does and Boeman reaches out and snags Rizzo. The momentum

spins the human

chain into a near wall --KAFWAM-- nearly breaking it apart.

JANESSA:

Okay that hurt.

BOEMAN:

Thorgan, pull us in.

Jason SLAMS into the ceiling, then careens off of the wall --

As Thorgan pulls the group out of the Cargo bay.

THORGAN:

What now?

They watch as Jason grabs a hold of the walkway.

JANESSA:

Sh*t. He's gonna send himself right at us.

Jason takes aim.

QUICK CUT TO:

INT. GRENDEL BRIDGE

COMPUTER VOICE:

System repair activated. Back up power on line.

INT. CARGO BAY

Jason again ROCKETS THROUGH THE AIR -- when

GRAVITY IS RESTORED.

He drops to the cargo floor like a rock! Falling cargo -- huge crates,

gargantuan machines,

a forklift -- buries him.

Our heroes tumble to the ground.

JANESSA:

(to Rizzo)

Get off of me!

They stand slowly, eyeing the rubble.

THORGAN:

(rubbing his arm)

You think it killed . . .

(off Rizzo's stare)

Yeah, I guess not.

JANESSA:

Let's just get out of here.

BOEMAN:

The ship's in bad shape. Back to

the labs. Let's check out status.

INT. SHIP CORRIDORS

Our group makes their way back toward the labs.

ELECTRICAL fires are everywhere. Systems are shorting out all over the

ship.

INT. LAB ONE

Rizzo, in the lead, enters the lab, when the ship BUCKS and QUAKES! A

portion of the hall

collapses behind her.

INT. CORRIDOR

Boeman and the others dive back out of the way.

BOEMAN:

Sh*t!

THORGAN:

The hull's imploding!

BOEMAN:

Rizzo! Can you hear me?!

INT. LAB ONE

RIZZO:

Yeah. Are you guys okay?

Boeman peers through a crack in the collapsed hull.

BOEMAN:

There's a red lever on the wall

beside you. Pull it!

Rizzo turns, spots the red lever. EMERGENCY PRESSURIZATION STABILIZER.

It's bolted.

RIZZO:

It's locked!

BOEMAN:

Then break it! If you don't pull it, the ship's

going to depressurize!

Rizzo kicsk the metal leg from a table. BASHES the bolt with it, until

it breaks.

BOEMAN:

Hurry Rizzo! You have to reverse

the pressurization.

She grabs the lever...then hesitates. Backs away.

BOEMAN:

What are you doing?!!

RIZZO:

If the ship goes, so does Jaso.

BOEMAN:

Rizzo pull the f***ing lever!

RIZZO:

No.

DELONGPRE:

Rizzo?!

RIZZO:

It's better this way. If we were rescued

Jason would just get off the ship. You want

him on your precious Earth II?

INT. CORRIDOR

Boeman and the other start tearing the debris out of the way!

THORGAN:

Hurry! She's lost it!

JANESSA:

So what else is new?

INT. LAB ONE

Boeman climbs through a hole in the rubble. He grabs the lever.

RIZZO:

Boeman don't. You know I'm right.

JANESSA:

Are you crazy?! Pull the lever!

Boeman yanks the lever.

As the others climb into the lab --

COMPUTER VOICE:

Depressurization inconclusive.

KAY-EM 14

We've lost too much pressure. An hour, tops.

JANESSA:

(to Rizzo)

You happy? You've killed us all!

Thorgan rushes over to the big Nano-tech machine. Places his broken arm

on the slab.

The machine quickly goes to work.

A schematic of his arm appears on the wall.

Janessa stares at him.

JANESSA:

What's the point?

Delongpre shrugs.

DELONGPRE:

So that's it then.

It seems it is.

Janessa stands over Yllo's decapitated body. It's obvious their

relationship

went beyond just teacher/student. There is a loud METALLIC WHINE from

the ship's

hull.

RIZZO:

What's that?

BOEMAN:

THat's the sound of deep space attacking the

integrity of the ship.

KAY-EM 14

No...

(signing)

That's the sound of the men working

on the chain gang.

RIZZO:

Are there any other shuttles?

JANESSA:

No.

RIZZO:

Teleportation? Some way to beam us the

hell out of dodge?

THORGAN:

You read a lot of Science Fiction didn't you?

JANESSA:

A little late to be thinking about

escape, isn't it?

KAY-EM 14

I'll never experience my fantasy of

three sex droids, two humans, and a Knofflapod.

Damn.

THORGAN:

Am I in there?

KAY-EM 14

Sory...

RIZZO:

Hey.

DELONGPRE:

That's a good fantasy, though.

Kinky, but good.

RIZZO:

Hey!!

All heads turn to Rizzo. She's staring at a schematic of the ship. The

left hull

of the two hulled ship is lit up with blinking light denoting the

various

system failures. Rizzo points to the right hull.
