The Lost Future Page #3

Is not an option.

[Grunting with effort]

What are we waiting for?

That is not god's way!

Well, shouldn't we

at least try?

We will not scurry

Into the bowels of the earth

like animals

As our forefathers did.

They were punished

for their sins!

Would god punish us

for trying to survive?

We must have faith

And courage,

And wait for this evil to pass.

If i'd have had enough courage,

I would have listened to kaleb.

[Lovers gasp and moan

quietly nearby]

[Stones grind]

[Elder groans in his sleep]

We should wake them.

Give them one last chance.

[Grunting with effort]

They made their choice.

It's time to go.

Uh, w-We're ready to leave.

Washing my hair's

a simple thing,

But it makes me feel better.

Amal expects me

to perform miracles.

Well, you were the one

Who sought the knowledge

of the old world.

Yeah, and the truth,

And savan still isn't convinced.

Do not judge him.

All these things

we never knew

Have shattered everything

that we believe in.

He finds it hard to accept.

Okay, persk,

take care of your mom.

How deep

do you think it is?

The ceiling's gone.

It could've blocked

the whole tunnel.

No, it can't have.

I can still feel a breeze.

Well, you only need

a small gap for that.

What are you doing?

If it's a small gap,

You need a small person

to fit through it.

Miru!

That will stay

on top of the water?

It will,

And as long as you stay on,

you'll be safe.

Jump.

Come on.

It's okay.

I'm walking on water.

Yes, it floats.

This river will lead us

to the yellow powder.

That's a paddle.

Use both hands.

Here, let me show you.

That's it.

Good.

I think she's okay.

It's okay!

There's a way through!

Give me your hand!

[Screams]

Miru!

There's something

in the water!

Miru!

There's something

in the water!

What is it?

[Coughing and spluttering]

Get them off me!

Get them off!

It's okay.

Get them off--

Hey...

Miru, it's okay.

I'm getting them off.

[Coughing]

It's all right,

it's all right...

It's all right.

I think they're all gone.

Do we look for another way?

No.

We've come too far.

Right.

When i go through,

Just get them off me fast, okay?

[Splashing]

[She giggles]

[Splashing and laughing]

[Beast roaring on shore]

[Rocks splashing]

Paddle!

Get in the middle!

The middle!

Row to the middle!

[Growling and bellowing]

[Doral screams]

[Boulders tumble and thud]

I fear they will never leave.

Let's hope the others

aren't punished

For their doubts.

[Beast snarls]

[Screaming]

[Blows thud, spears stab]

[Snarling]

[Shrieks in pain]

There was a group of us,

A brotherhood,

That was formed to help protect

each tribe from the mutants.

After jaret discovered

the powder,

We thought if we could

immunize enough tribes,

People could come out of hiding,

Start to rebuild the world.

By one of our own.

A man called gagen

stole the powder.

But won't he help us

if he sees that we're sick?

[Chuckles wryly]

You don't know this man.

He turned an island

into a fortress,

His empire.

Gagen has hordes of followers

Who will kill for the chance

to inhale the yellow powder,

And kill they do.

You okay?

Those leech bites

really sting.

Yeah, well, not

as much as a beast bite.

If you put it that way,

I'm beginning to enjoy it.

Over here!

Looks like we got

our miracle after all.

[Miru laughs]

Half a miracle.

We've still got to climb it.

I'll go first.

Were you bitten?

No.

Did they

claw you?

We were fighting.

I don't know!

Maybe being close

is all it takes.

We don't

know that.

Yeah, but if it is,

then we're all infected.

Then we're all

going to turn.

Okay, we'd better get going.

Right.

Let's finish

what we started!

You know that kaleb

must find his father's work.

Above all else.

Do you understand?

Kaleb.

I never thanked you.

For what?

For saving my life

back at the village,

After the attack.

I haven't saved anyone yet.

Well, you saved me,

so thank you.

[Deep growling outside]

[More growling]

Oh, no. No...

Get down quickly!

[Rocks tumble, they scream]

[Grunting with impact]

[Screams in agony]

Go on!

Leave me!

Leave me!

[Beast snarling]

I'll carry you!

You two can still

get out of here.

I'm dead either way!

Move!

Go!

[Snarling]

[Distant screaming]

[Beasts roaring]

When the old world died,

how many survived?

It's impossible to say.

Each of the brotherhood

came from a tribe of 60 or 70.

Are they all

still out there?

Scattered, staying hidden.

We set up these beacons

as a warning system.

A beacon is lit, help will come.

That's the theory.

Let's see

who's up for the fight.

[Gasping for air]

[Snarling]

Run!

What did he say?

Run!

Mutants!

[Snarling]

Run!

[Flint rasps]

[Tires ignites]

[Snarling and slathering]

Run!

To the raft!

[Roaring]

[Shrieks]

[Cries out]

[Amal screams]

[Shouts in alarm]

[Snarling]

[Roaring]

We have to go back!

No, he's finished!

We can't just leave him.

We have to go!

No!

Come on!

Where are you going?

Get to the raft, dorel!

Without amal?

Come on!

[Snarling]

[Blade squelches, beast shrieks]

[Gurgling]

But what about

the brotherhood?

He lit the beacon!

He said others would come!

He said they might come.

Do you want to wait

along with the beasts?

The river is our only chance.

No.

The yellow powder's

our only chance.

[Horse whinnies]

[Tribespeople coughing]

[Baby cries]

[Weakly]:

if this is to be our time,

Let us leave this world

together.

We tried.

I never understood

your father before.

He would be proud of you.

Is it just us?

Let's hope not.

Have you seen amal?

Well, this is

his beacon.

He must be here.

Hey!

Who's that?

Well, that's not him.

That's garth

and his brother.

How are you feeling?

Okay.

Have we gone

too far?

Maybe we passed it

in the night.

I don't think so.

Here!

Over here.

[Amal groans]

Give me a hand.

[Coughing]

I wonder

how many people lived

In a village like this?

Come on.

Let's find this gagen

and get the powder.

But there's

only three of us.

We won't give him

a choice.

If we can't

reason with him,

We'll fight him.

We can't

fight him, savan.

We don't have to.

We'll convince him

we have something he needs.

[Hum of crowds]

What's the problem?

[Whip cracks, man screams]

I saw you!

Thief!

[Groans in pain]

Please...

Please, i won't do it again,

i promise.

I promise i won't do it again.

Please?

You won't.

Who are you?

It's all right.

We're not with them.

We came down the river.

Then you've got the disease.

Leave me alone.

We came for the yellow powder.

We all came

for the yellow powder.

How do we find it?

You find it...

Do you know a man called gagen?

Uh...

Gagen...

Gagen...

Savan, let him go!

Stop!

I only want to ask you

a question!

Jaret's son, kaleb...

He can read.

His village was

attacked by mutants.

There are survivors, trapped.

Kaleb and two others have gone

to get the yellow powder.

Against gagen?

They need our help.

Gagen's forces

are too strong for us.
