Somewhere in the American Jungle. (Are there even jungles in America? Probably in Oklahoma where the Tiger King's farm used to be, I don't know.)
COMPUTER KEYS POUND -- the letters leap across the screen: THE AMERICAN JUNGLE, 2020.
BEEF carrying a bucket of water from the River rushes past the Mercenary Army to the camp infirmary. There he replaces the towel on the forehead of a feverish, delirious AUSTRALIAN MERCENARY with a cold new one.
STEVE AWESOME (with a terribly Australian accent: Gimme somethin' for the bleedin' pain. C'mon, mate, help me.
The Mercenary tries to lift himself out of his stretcher. He can't. He's too weak. His skin is yellow and covered with blisters that look like chicken pox.
BEEF (checking the soldier's temp): He's still over a hundred and six. Why can't we bring it down?
The African army physician, DR. MAGNUS, looks on, helpless. Suddenly, the Australian emits a sharp cry. His eyes roll back, and he begins convulsing. Before Magnus can even reach into his bag for medicine, Steve Awesome is dead. Magnus and his Beef stare with horror.
The DRONE of a CHOPPER grows LOUDER as a Bell Z180 appears over the edge of the forest and kicks up a storm of dust as it lands. Magnus and Beef run to meet it.In their eyes, hope.
The XHF Network Presents: GUN SHOW OUTBREAK
LIVE! Prerecorded from Venom’s gym in Atlanta, Georgia the xxx edition of the GUN Show, Month Day, 2019
The scene changes to Venom’s gym. The stands are still mostly empty, except now, the scrawny kid and his invalid grandmother are not the only people in the stands. Now about five meat heads from the gym are sitting in attendance as well.
Magnus: Welcome everyone to this week’s episode of the Gun Show! What a night of action we have for you… I hope. I think I sent last week’s tape to the right place. So let’s kick this mutha off with our one and only match!
“Don’t I Know You?” by John Jimston plays as two blond Canadians come out of the entryway.
: Ladies and Gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall! First, coming down the aisle, the tag team of Cliff and Mormon!
Cliff and Mormon enter the ring and pose for the crowd. The scrawny kid cheers.
"Am I Evil" by Metallica hits the speakers and the stage fills with mist. Strobe lights go on all throughout the arena. Mecha Gold-Bear IV emerges from the mist with Evil-Borg riding on his back. Heavymetal-Borg come out next to them, air guitaring to the music.
: And their opponents, the Borgs!
Meat Heads in the Audience: WOOOOOO!
Mecha Gold-bear IV marches ominously toward the ring as Evil Borg cackles with evil laughter of evilness. Heavy Metal throws up the devil horns. Mecha Gold-bear IV reaches ringside and turns on his rocket boots to fly a few feet in the air and lands in the ring. Evil gives Mecha Gold-bear IV a pat on the head and climbs down. Evil grabs a microphone.
: Our eeeeevil evilness knows no bounds! We will bring about… THE AFTERWARD… with our domination of the tag team division! That starts here and now with the total domination of the GUNS tag team division! We will fill that void the Guns left and we will have the power to ruin all your lives! MWUAHAHAHAHAHA!
Meat Heads in the Audience: Mecha-Gold-Bear! clap-clap-clapclapclap Mecha-Gold-Bear! clap-clap-clapclapclap Mecha-Gold-Bear! clap-clap-clapclapclap
Evil looks confused. He and Heavy Metal discuss who steps out of the ring and this time, it appears that Heavu Metal will be the cheerleader! Evil Borg gets on the apron as it looks that Mecha Gold-Bear IV will start the match. Referee Magnus signals for the bell to ring. Mormon starts off circling Mecha. Mecha follows with his head rotating 360 degrees, but his body ever still. Mormon goes for a lock up and Mecha obliges, but when his arm lands on Mormon’s shoulder, we hear a pop! Mormon screams in pain and backs away, his arm dangling, apparently out of its socket.
Magnus: BAH GAWD HIS SHOULDER POPPED OUT! I mean, I know I saw it up close, but to see it again on this voice over, ohman, that is gnarly. Oh. I remember what’s next.
Mormon quickly goes to his corner crying and Cliff consoles him with a hand on his good shoulder. Referee Magnus signals for a tag and Cliff looks up in shock. Before he can deny this tag, Mecha grabs Cliff by the forehead and flings him up into the air. Cliff does a forced 450 into the ring, landing on his chest. He bounces up off the mat, holding his abdomen in pain and turns right into a big boot from Mecha, sending a few teeth flying out of his head.
Meat Heads: YES! YES! YES! YES!
Magnus: Jeezus! End it ref! End it! Oh wait, that’s me. I will soon.
Mormon has not had a chance to exit the ring yet, so Mecha grabs him and lifts him overhead, then slams him onto the unconscious cliff. Mecha stomps over and lifts a foot, about to plant it on the tag team, when Evil screams out for a tag. Mecha backs away and walks over to Evil Borg, allowing Evil to tag himself in.
Magnus: Okay, here it comes.
Evil Borg climbs onto the turnbuckle, then onto the tob of Mecha Gold-Bear IV. Mecha uses his rocket boosters to elevate a few feet more off the mat. Evil then jumps off and his a leg drop on the unconscious Cliff, delivering the Robo-Blitz! He covers. 1, 2, 3!
: Your winners of the match, The Borgs!
”AM I Evil” plays again as the meat heads cheer. The scrawny kid has his thumbs down. Heavy and Evil celebrate with air guitars while Mecha Gold-Bear IV just stands still. His head rotates to see the meat heads cheering for him and then raises his arms in celebration.
Back in the American Jungle
faces hidden by thick green plexiglass shields. The U.S.
flag is emblazoned on the side of their helmets, which
also display their ranks. The much taller man is a
lieutenant whom we'll know as James Mueller. Through his
visor, we can just make out his pock-marked, angular
face. The shorter, pear-shaped man is a Venom. We
can't see his features, only the reflection of horn-
rimmed glasses.
MAGNUS:
Have you brought the medicines?
VENOM:
Soon.
MAGNUS:
Why the hell didn't you bring
them?
CUT TO INFIRMARY:
The two space-suited figures follow Dr. Magnus past
soldier after soldier infected with the same disease.
MAGNUS:
Thirty deaths yesterday, eighteen
the day before, the disease is
killing our men faster than enemy
bullets.
Venom stops at Charlie Velez cot.
He's shaking with fever. His skin is mottled and looks
like the pulp of an orange. His voice is a whisper:
VELEZ: Take me home, V... Get me
outta this shithole. Please, I
wanna see my girl.
Charlie reaches out with his arms to the
Venom, who shrinks back, not wanting to be
contaminated.
VENOM:
We'll get you home, soldier.
First, I need a tissue sample.
He pulls from his black bag a long metal syringe and
plunges the biopsy needle deep into the man's liver. He
places the needle in an aluminum test tube and seals it.
VELEZ: Promise me you'll get me home.
Promise me, Goddamit!
A long uneasy beat.
VENOM:
We'll get you home.
NARRATOR: He's lying.
CUT TO TWO SPACE-SUITED U.S. ARMY FIGURES
boarding their chopper, Dr. Magnus and his Nurse Beef
standing by.
MAGNUS:
Not just supplies, but doctors
and nurses. And suits like yours
to protect us. This disease
spreads too fast.
VENOM:
The plane tonight will bring
everything.
CUT TO INSIDE CHOPPER ascending above the camp.
James Mueller and Venom look out the window at the
campsite.
MUELLER
: It's viral. There's no way to
stop it. It could spread all
over the world.
CUT TO TODAY. We're all gonna die.
