STEVE
Well it's a hard job but somebody's gotta do it, right!
Rick and Steve high-five and laugh.
The Lieutenant and Officer Stephens give them a dirty look and they stop.
INT. ALEXANDRA'S HOTEL ROOM
Alexandra, with her friend, Brittany, join Angel on a couch watching TV and just being girls at a day slumber party. Chips and salsa kinda party.
Alexandra
He wasn't much of a boyfriend any. More of a boytoy with a key to making me an international superstar.
BritTANY
Superstar!
Angel
What are you going to do now that the show's cancelled?
Alexandra
Whatever there is to do.
ANGEL
Not much. There's always the Fight Nights every night at Los Diablos.
BRITTANY
Oh how awesome, you mean like MMA?
ANGEL
No. Death fights. Now that the mafia runs Buckeye City they can host these once illegal death fights.
Alexandra
Let's go tonight. Maybe I can find me another Boy Toy.
ANGEL
Don't count on it around here. Nobody has any money.
They all giggle until -
A knock at the door.
Angel goes to the door and opens it.
Alexa stands on the other side.
ANGEL
Tell Jacki I'm not working today!
ALEXA
I'm not here for you. I'm here for Alexandra. It's urgent.
THE INVITE
EXT. CEMETERY
Daisy lies in a solid pearl-colored casket enamored in many different flowers.
ST. ELIZABETH, an older woman and preacher of God, oversees this funeral procession.
Ivy stands with her family in front of the casket.
St. Elizabeth
Daisy May, may you rest in peace and join the heavenly angels. God bless you my child. You died way too young.
Mitch walks by Ivy, talking in her ear.
RuSSELL BROWN
I am very sorry for your loss.
Ivy
Can it. You knew I was the better fighter, why'd you think I let her beat me?
MITCH BLACK
Because to be the best you gotta beat the best.
IVY
Oh you mean your wife?
MITCH BLACK
Exactly.
IVY
What's this fight you're organizing?
MITCH BLACK
A tournament of nothing but models interested in signing with an international modeling agency with a multimillion dollar contract.
IVY
So Alexa's fighting?
MITCH BLACK
She's the main event. Whoever wins the tournament gets the coveted chance to fight her.
IVY
I want in.
MITCH BLACK
I know you do. That will be arranged. I want you to kill my wife.
IVY
See to it I get to exact my revenge.
MITCH BLACK
You have my word as the world's deadliest assassin.
Mitch Black and St. Elizabeth meet eyes, nodding their heads at each other.
St. Elizabeth blesses Daisy's corpse and leaves.
A mysterious hooded woman stands from afar.
It's Alexa, incognito, enjoying the mourning of Daisy's family over their loss.
Alexa
(to herself)
Mess with the best, die like the rest. Daisy didn't listen and now she's pushing daisies. More like ForgetMeNots because I've already forgotten her.
Moonlight walks behind her.
She spots Moonlight.
Moonlight pays no attention to her.
ALEXA
Hey sunshine.
Moonlight stops and turns around.
MoonLIGHT
It's Moonlight!
ALEXA
Whatever Twilight reject.
MOONLIGHT
What do you want?
ALEXA
Man, tough break about that Fashion Show isn't it?
MOONLIGHT
Yeah I was going to use the money to save my baby from state custody.
ALEXA
You have a baby? Who the hell... oh never mind. Would you do anything for your baby?
MOONLIGHT
If it involves money of course!
ALEXA
Oh trust me, it does. Millions and millions. All you gotta do is fight. To the death.
MOONLIGHT
Oh that sounds rad! Can I watch? I love blood!
ALEXA
Can you watch? What the - ? You can do better, you can be a star!
MOONLIGHT
I don't fight, I'm not interested.
ALEXA
What happened to doing anything for your baby?
St. Elizabeth interrupts as Moonlight walks away.
St. Elizabeth
I'll take care of this. She must be at the fight. These crazy girls can kill and make us a ton of money. I don't have my faith in the assassin.
Alexa nods in agreement.
INT. GYM
Tiffany, after free weights, pounds away at a punching bag, bare fisted really hard. Hurts her hand.
Tiffany
Cage-fighting wannabe!
She falls to one knee, rubbing it.
Her trainer, Amber, holding a towel, creeps up behind her.
AMBER
You should wrap your hands first. Hit the showers, you look dehydrated. I just got hired to work temporarily at Los Diablos.
TIFFANY
The sponsor for the show?
AMBER
Yes.
Tiffany heads to the showers as Amber skips away.
INT. GYM - SHOWER
Tiffany walks into the shower room.
Singing a song.
TIFFANY
Who does she think she is putting her hands on me.
Turns the water on.
Attempts to take off her top when suddenly a hand grabs her hair and pulls her away.
It's Jade and she's still mad from yesterday.
JADE
I need an opponent for my next MMA fight and I think you'll do.
She throws Tiffany against the shower.
They fight a short while. Jade block's an attempted face kick from Tiffany.
Jade elbows her leg.
As Tiffany falls Jade quickly follows to stay on her and punches her right in the face.
Tiffany cries for help.
Alexa walks by the women's locker room and hears her cry.
She runs in to see Jade with her fist raised as Tiffany lies, completely clothed, on the shower floor.
ALEXA
What the world Jade? Save it for the fight.
She spits on her then leaves the showers. With spite, she knocks into Alexa.
Alexa goes to help her.
ALEXA
Go ahead and finish, I'll keep a watch. Let's talk when you're done.
She nods her head in approval.
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR - AFTERNOON
St. Elizabeth sits at a table with Mitch; Ivy serves.
Passed out on the table behind them is Rick.
Erica, Heather, and Jennifer listen at the bar.
St. Elizabeth
Ever since I married you two you've been forever trying to kill her. Marriage can't be all that bad.
MITCH BLACK
You know she threatens my status as the world's deadliest assassin. I can't just simply poison her, she already suspects that and runs a poison test on anything I give her.
St. Elizabeth
Yes, my son. I know this. She's the world's deadliest female fatale and a major threat to you.
MITCH BLACK
No need to rub it in.
St. Elizabeth
So Ivy tells me you're organizing these fights. Will there be a wager?
MITCH BLACK
<
br /> Only sponsors can make wagers. But the money will be huge. This is an opportunity for earning potential like never imagined.
Mitch chugs his liquor and slams the glass down, waking Rick.
Rick
And the perfect opportunity to humiliate your wife in front of the world!
MITCH BLACK
Go back to sleep Rick. You're still hungover.
RICK
Whatever...
He passes out.
MITCH BLACK
(to Ivy)
Damn what'd you do to him?
Ivy
Gave him about a full day's worth of liquor. He'll be good by evening.
St. Elizabeth
Ahem. So about this sponsorship...
RuSSELL BROWN
One million.
St. Elizabeth
One million?
Erica, Heather, and Jennifer look at each other in shock.
MITCH BLACK
Yep. Bidding starts at $100 grand each fight.
St. Elizabeth
Why so high?
MITCH BLACK
We've rigged the place with live cameras. To broadcast this girlfight all over the world on live streaming pay-per-view!
St. Elizabeth
And you expect to do this how, without getting caught?
MITCH BLACK
I am a government assassin as well, or did you forget that.
St. Elizabeth
Oh excuse me, world's deadliest assassin and government assassin, I can't keep track.
RuSSELL BROWN
The fights will be broadcast over the most secure servers worldwide. Every 1/10 of a second the servers change their location - the Government doesn't watch these systems and couldn't pinpoint it if they did.
St. Elizabeth
How would I explain the missing money to my church?
MITCH BLACK
How do you explain all the money you throw down to pay off your daughter's college tuition every year?
St. Elizabeth
All of this to kill one person. Consider it a gift from God and may the Lord have mercy on us all.
They both shake hands.
EXT. DEVIL’S DEVIANTS – PARKING LOT
Jennifer, Erica, and Heather collect themselves.
Erica
They're up to something and it involves a lot of money.
HEATHER
I couldn't make it out but I think they're trying to setup some kind of fight.
JeNNIFER
A toughman contest?
Erica
No. A MMA fight. With models. This is genius. I can afford to get some broken bones for millions of dollars.
JENNIFER
I don't know. This is very fishy.
Heather
I would love to get away from that hotel.
Erica
Ah c'mon, my management isn't that bad.
Both girls just look at her.
Erica
Let's come back tonight and see what's happening. I sure could use that million and in MMA every fight pays!
They all three leave.
INT. GYM
Tiffany walks over to a table to see Alexa sitting there.
She sits.
ALEXA
You've got to learn to defend yourself.
TIFFANY
I would've had her if it was a streetfight. I'm not into that fancy footwork.
ALEXA
Yea it's all for show. What if I were to offer you a chance to show her you mean business? What would you do for a chance at a multimillion dollar contract with an international modeling agency in Miami? You model, don't you?
TIFFANY
Yeah, I was on the cover of Wild Side magazine last week. But I'm looking for something different. Modeling for local photographers doesn't pay well and promotional work is very limited. I need something that will get me in the spotlight. I need the money for school.
ALEXA
I happen to have the perfect opportunity for all of that. It's an opportunity to fight Jade to the death. No rules, no fancy footwork. Just how you like it. You'll have to go through other girls but if you win... these fights will even be broadcast to a rich audience throughout the world so the opportunity for exposure is even greater!
TIFFANY
She did take my new man. She has it coming to her. I'm in.
ALEXA
Good girl. Meet me at Los Diablos tonight and I'll tell you more.
INT. GYM
Mitch enters. Here he meets Big Tony with his cronies Rick and Steve at the squat machine.
Big Tony squats 500 pounds.
Rick spots Mitch.
Rick
(to Big Tony)
Hey Mitch. He's cool Big Tony.
MITCH BLACK
Are you Big Tony?
Steve nears closer, prepared to attack.
Rick remains still.
Big TONY
Who wants to know?
MITCH BLACK
I have a huge opportunity with real money that wants to know.
Steve edges closer.
RICK
He's serious Big Tony, he's got a job for you.
Steve
Knock it off, Rick. How do we know he's not a cop?
Immediately Mitch pulls out his gun.
Steve pulls out a gun.
STEVE
That was real dumb. Get him Big Tony!
Big TONY
(raises hand)
Silence. I trust Rick.
(spits)
What do you possibly have to offer?
Steve taunts that he's lucky to be alive.
MITCH BLACK
Cute girls fighting to the death live on pay per view for the whole world to see!
Big TONY
What's in it for me?
MITCH BLACK
Money... lots and lots of money!
BIG TONY
I like it.
MITCH BLACK
(without fear)
So does that mean you're in?
Big Tony stares him in the eye. He punches Mitch in the gut. Mitch doubles over to his knees.
BIG TONY
You're one stupid idiot. But you have guts and I respect that. I'll invest but know this - if this deal turns sour I'll seal your fate upon the witching hour.
Big Tony spits directly in his eye.
Still floored, Mitch moans under his breath -
MITCH BLACK
That was some deep dark poetry.
Big Tony smirks as Mitch limps away.
MITCH BLACK
Pleasure doing business with you.
EXT. CEMETERY - EVENING
Rayven, with three other girls, dressed in occult robes and pig masks, form a pentagram surrounded by burning candles at each point at Daisy's freshly-covered grave.
The leader, Moonlight, wears a Blasphomet mask.
A group of girls, a mix of Goth, emo, and anime fads, encircles these four girls.
MOONLIGHT
Now on with the opening ceremony! Let us deliver to Lucifer the blood of our sisterhood that binds us together as Lucifer's Daughters!
The four girls slice their arms to mix their blood in a goblet and each drinks.
Rayven breaks the circle.
They all stop chanting to follow their eyes as she goes by a tree to vomit.
Moonlight follows.
MOONLIGHT
We mustn't upset Lucifer!
RAYVEN
I want to lead the group for once...
MOONLIGHT
Lucifer is waiting for us. Come, let us rejoin the others in the sacred circle, we'll discuss it at Los Diablos after I visit St. Elizabeth to deliver me from evil.
Rayven and Moonlight rejoin their circle.
MOONLIGHT
Sisters of the Night. Rayven has inquired about joining our sisterhood. She must prove herself worthy of being a Lucifer's Daughter. So she will be first to fight in his honor. It's time
our Fight Club begins.
Rayven tackles Moonlight as she blocks it and uppercuts her in the face. She immediately knocks her to the ground with a bloodied nose.
A police car blaring sirens pulls up.
The girls run away, except for Rayven and Moonlight.
Officer Stephens gets out of the car calmly.
RAYVEN
What did we do wrong officer?
OFFICER STEPHENS
You freaks know you can't be fighting in a cemetery. Ain't you got no respect for the dead?
MOONLIGHT
We envy the dead so we respect them very much.
OFFICER STEPHENS
Look as much as I like the idea of all you trailer park queens trying to make the world a better place by killing each other, I can't patronize this by allowing it. I won't arrest you either since you're helping us clean the trash in your community. Now get to your trailer parks where you belong.
She leaves.
Rayven
There's got to be more to life than being harassed by a dumb cop.
MoonLIGHT
Nope. We're just destined to die.
RAYVEN
I have a feeling something's coming that's gonna change things.
MOONLIGHT
Yea sunshine, that cop if we don't leave.
They leave.
Just then St. Elizabeth pulls up.
St. Elizabeth
Moonlight, you wanted to talk to me?
MOONLIGHT
Well Rayven, I gotta go free my demons. Had a lot of fun, see you later at Los Diablos!
Rayven leaves and Moonlight enters St. Elizabeth's car.
INT. ST. ELIZABETH'S CAR
Moonlight sits with St. Elizabeth.
Moonlight
So St. Elizabeth, Big Tony done kicked me to the curb. Says I'm too small for his guys. I need a job. Quick and easy money.
St. Elizabeth
What is the need for this money?
MOONLIGHT
The state is trying to take my baby away from me and I can't afford to fight it.
St. Elizabeth
Why is that?
MOONLIGHT
They don't agree my night job best qualifies me to raise a kid.
St. Elizabeth
I'm sorry to hear that my dear. The Lord works in very mysterious ways. You said you needed a job. I'll take you to Alexa now and put you to work tonight as a bartender. Have mercy on your soul.
MOONLIGHT
Oh, okay St. Elizabeth. You're the best.
They both leave towards Los Diablos.
HOSTILE TAKEOVER
EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR
Rick sobs at the bar.
Amber tends it.
Amber
You've crying like a baby all night, what gives?
Rick
I can't forget about my girlfriend. Maybe she wasn't the right girl?
AMBER
I have a stable boyfriend and sugar daddy. We're getting married soon. I'm well taken care of.
RICK
I just can't believe she's gone!
AMBER
She shouldn't have fought if she didn't know what she was doing.
