Heavy Metal Page #4

Synopsis: Adventures from deep space to futuristic New York, and beyond. Each world and story is dominated by the presence of the Loch'nar -- the sum of all evils manifest as a glowing green sphere whose power infects all times, all galaxies, all dimensions. To some, it appears as treasure, a green jewel they must possess. Others worship it as a god. Few escape it. Even in death and through death its powers continue. From war to war and world to world it seems invincible.

TAARNA'S FACE

She is beautiful, with dark eyes and wild red hair blowing

behind her in the wind.

Below her, on the ground, she sees a humanoid running in terror,

chased by an ugly, four-legged mutant creature.

Spurring her bird forward, TAARNA sweeps down over the ugly

beast and lassoes it. She then hoists the creature up into

the air and, tossing her end of the rope over a tall jagged

rock, she leaves the snarling beast hanging helplessly.

Flying down to the grateful humanoid, she dismounts. As

she approaches we see that he has a barbarian medallion

on a chain around his neck.

HUMANOID:

I owe you my life. Let me

repay you ...

He takes off his medallion and places it around her neck.

Suddenly he twists the chain tight in his hand, pulling her

towards him. His eyes change to a bright green as he forces

her to the ground and starts ripping at her clothes. As he

molests her, TAARNA is distracted. She hears something - voices

inside her, chanting her name.

Quickly she grabs the chain and rips it apart. Then she

powerfully smashes both her hands together around her attacker's

ears. As he holds his ringing ears, she gets up, lifts him

above her head, and hurls him mercilessly to the ground.

Still hearing the chanting, she jumps on her bird, pulls out

a second rope, and lassoes the barbarian's feet. She then

lifts him up and leaves him hanging from the tall, jagged rock,

next to the growling creature.

As TAARNA flies off, the hanging beast eyes the barbarian

hungrily.

CUT TO:

AUSTIN GRIMALDI:

He is still sitting on the floor, working on his machine.

As the camera pulls closer, we see that AUSTIN is reaching

deep inside the machineworks, trying to solder a small orange

diode in place with an odd-style soldering iron. The connection

breaks, and the diode and some hot solder fall deeper into the

machine and start smoking and sputtering. As the smoke grows

thicker, the machine starts to buzz loudly.

AUSTIN:

Dammit!

AUSTIN pulls his face out of the smoking chassis, grabs a pair

of needlenose pliers, and reaches back to retrieve the part.

The camera follows AUSTIN'S arm into the chassis, where smoke

surrounds it and clouds over everything. The buzzing sound

grows, and changes into the sound of powerful, throbbing

engines. Slowly the smoke begins to clear as we hear a voice

crackling over a radiophone.

BOMBARDIER:

(V.O.)

Where the hell are we?

Suddenly the smoke dissipates and a formation of B-17 bombers

come tearing out into the moonlit night.
