9:00p.m.

Braun walks through the forest. He steps between some trees. Braun stands there and he begins to smell the air.

Braun: Hmmm.

Braun looks at the ground. He gets down on a knee and he looks around the area.

Braun: Broken twigs. They went through here.

Braun walks alittle bit and he smells the air again.

Braun: Perfume. Their close.

Braun smirks.

Braun: I'm gonna break every bone in their soft little bodies.

Braun walks on.

Mickie and Rebecca are walking down the dirt path. The sky is cloudy. So the moon is hidden.

Rebecca: Mickie. If I may ask...why did we run from Braun? Your more than strong enough to take him.

Mickie: I know. But I didn't want to fight there. Too many innocents.

Rebecca: Oh...yeah. I didn't think about that. I guess I've still got alot to learn.

Mickie: We never stop learning Rebecca. No matter how old we get. There's always something new to learn.

Rebecca: I'm so glad we have you as the leader of the team Mickie. Your the best. Who knows what kind of trouble we'd get ourselves into if we didn't have you to follow.

Mickie: Your a good leader too Rebecca.

Rebecca: Not nearly as good as you.

Mickie: But you can be.

Rebecca: Oh come on Mickie. Your a hero. You always find a way to come out on top. Your just an amazing lady.

Mickie: Your a hero too Rebecca.

Rebecca: Not like you Mickie. I want to be like you. Your my hero Mickie. Not just because you've taken care of me and raised me from a baby...but because your a mighty Saiyan warrior. I wish I was as strong as you.

Mickie: Thank you sweetie...but you can do anything that you set your mind too. Remember that.

Rebecca smiles as she looks at Mickie. They keep walking. Suddenly the mountain shakes wild. Mickie and Rebecca fall to the ground. Trees break and fall. Something explodes near by and the sky turns red to the North. Mickie and Rebecca get up. What looks like smoke and fire rises into the sky.

Rebecca: Whoa. That's...pretty odd. Fire and smoke rising into the sky.

Mickie just looks at it.

Rebecca: What's going on Mickie?

Mickie: Its not good. I had a bad feeling when the mountain shook today...but now...This means trouble. Its an active volcano.

Rebecca: Oh no.

Mickie: We gotta get out of here. Before that volcano explodes. Let's get moving.

Mickie and Rebecca walk on. Rebecca looks back to the North. The fire lowers back down and the smoke disappears and the sky returns to normal.

Meanwhile.

At a camp near a beach. The camp is a large army of men and women. They belong to a powerful unknown race. But they look alot like Saiyan's. Not aliens. Rey walks into the camp. The other's bow to her as she walks by.

Man: Its Rey.

Woman: She's back.

They all continue to bow to her as she walks by. There's a large man standing near by. Rey walks to him. The man is tall and he has a long red beard and some wild red hair. He looks at Rey. Rey walks to him and she drops to a knee before him.

Rey: King Sheamus.

Sheamus: Rey. You've returned. You've been missing for along time.

Rey: I've been searching for the key.

Sheamus: And did you find it?

Rey smirks as she looks toward the ground.

Rey: I was close...but I couldn't get it. Some aliens got it. I believe they are set up in the Dersert.

Sheamus: I'm disappointed in you Rey.

Rey: I'm sorry I failed.

Sheamus: Don't forget the reason we're here Rey. If the Celtics hope to grow stronger than the Saiyan's and become the strongest race in the galaxy. Then we have to solve the mystery of the Halo ring and take any treasure and weapons we find.

Rey: Yes...I understand.

Rey looks at Sheamus.

Rey: If you'll allow me to take some Celtic warriors with me. I can go to the Dersert and take back the key.

Sheamus: Hmmm...Very well. You may take as many warrior's with you as you please. They will be under your command. Take them and destroy these aliens and bring the key to me.

Rey: Yes sir. You can count on me. The Celtics shall become the strongest race in the galaxy. Then everyone will know our name.

Sheamus: Yes...Now go and rest. You've got a long journey.

Rey: Thank you sir.

Rey gets up and she starts to walk away.

Sheamus: And Rey.

Rey stops and she looks at Sheamus.

Sheamus: Don't disappoint me again. If you fail again. I'll have no choice but to take you out of the field. Strip you of your rank and give you a dishonorable discharge. Your name will be forever shamed to the Celtic race.

Rey bows.

Rey: Yes sir. You have my word. I will bring the key back.

Rey smirks as she turns and she walks off. Rey giggles as she walks into her private tent and she pulls the key from her pocket.

Rey: And what good is the word of a pirate?

Rey laughs.

Rey: I'll take those men and women. Lead them into a battle they can't win. I'll make sure no harm comes to them. Then I'll send them back to camp. After that I'll take off on me own and take the treasure for me self.

Rey can't help but giggle and laugh.

Rey: Ol King Sheamus. Your such a fool. Your name will be forever shamed to the Celtic race. For you will bring shame to the entire Celtic race.

Rey sits on the floor of her tent and she begins to write in a book.

Rey: I'll put me plan into action I will. I'll solve the mystery of the Halo ring me self. I'll over throw ol King Sheamus and I'll crown me self Queen of the Celtics! Ha ah! I'll bring pride to the entire Celtic race.

Meanwhile.

Roman is trying to relax. Lillian has a small building that she's letting Roman stay in.

Roman: Ahh. The bearded guy. At the diner.

Roman thinks for a moment.

Roman: He didn't pay his check.

Roman tries to relax.

Roman: Ahh. Wait a minute. The bearded guy was looking for Mickie and Rebecca. Which means he's met them and if he's met them he knows what they look like. And if he's looking for them. I find him...I find Mickie and Rebecca.

Roman smiles.

Roman: Oh yeah...Its all coming together.

9:00a.m.

Roman is at Lillian's diner.

Lillian: Are you sure you don't want to stay and be my cook honey?

Roman smiles.

Roman: Yeah. I'm sorry Lily. But I have to find Mickie and Rebecca. Mickie's my dear sweet friend and Rebecca...well. Like I said. I'm in love with her.

Lillian smiles.

Lillian: I understand honey. Love is a special thing. You go find them. And when you find Rebecca. Don't let her go.

Roman: Don't worry...I won't. I got a good feeling about this. This is gonna work out.

Lillian: Their gonna need a big strong man like you to help them out. That big guy is after them for some reason. And he wasn't happy at all. No telling what he might do to them if he catches them.

Roman: Oh don't worry Lily. Mickie and Rebecca are two of the toughest girls I know. Trust me. They can take care of themselves. We are Saiyan's after all.

Lillian looks surprised.

Lillian: Really? Well then I guess there is nothing to worry about.

Roman: Well. Thanks for everything Lily. I hope you find a new cook soon.

Lillian: Thanks. Take care of yourself handsome. Rebecca's a lucky lucky girl.

Lillian smirks as she looks at Roman. She then goes to clean tables.

Roman: Bye Lily.

Roman turns and he leaves Lily's diner. Roman walks off into the mountains and he walks for awhile. Roman crosses a long bridge. A water fall is near by. We Belong by Def Leppard begins to play. Roman follows the path up a large hill. He stops at the top and he looks around. Roman then looks at a picture of Rebecca that he has.

Sometimes I feel I don't belong here.
Sometimes I just don't feel.
I feel so uninvited.
A wound that never heals.
I need a little shelter.
Just for alittle while.
Sometimes I hide the sadness.
Behind a painted smile.

If you cast the first stone.
I will roll it away.
I will kneel at your throne.
Throw my hands up and pray.
I will hold back the tide.
Push the oceans aside.
Save the day.
But I can be stronger.

Roman continues to follow the path. He crosses another long bridge and he climbs a small hillside.

Your all that I am.
Your all that I see.
The keys to the kingdom are waiting for me.
So don't hold me back.
And don't hold me down.
Just hold me and don't let go.
Your all that I am.
Your all that I do.
The end of the rainbow is waiting for you.
So tell me I'm right.
Cause this can't be wrong.
Not if we belong.

The song fades out. Roman stands on the hilltop and he looks at the picture of Rebecca. He's been walking for hours.

Roman: I don't care how far I have to walk. Or what I have to do. I will find you. I love you.

Suddenly the volcano explodes. Roman looks at the volcano. Fire and smoke shoot up into the sky. The sky quickly becomes dark.

Roman: Whoa! I had no idea I was so close to an active volcano! I gotta get out of here!

Roman turns and Braun is near by.

Roman: That's...him.

Torrie is following Braun.

Torrie: I don't understand you Braun. What's going on with you?

Braun: Go away Torrie.

Torrie: But Braun. We need to get these Saiyan's out of here. Their counting on us.

Braun turns to Torrie and he back hands her across the face.

Braun: I said shut up woman!

Torrie falls to the ground. She holds her mouth.

Braun: One more word and I will break every bone in your body!

Torrie uncovers her mouth. And she has blood dripping down.

Torrie: If I've really done something so bad to deserve a beating. Then so be it. Give me what I deserve.

Braun punches Torrie in the face and she falls back on the ground. He stomps on her gut and head 5x. Roman runs up to Braun and he grabs him and he turns him around and he punches him in the face. Braun stumbles back and he looks at Roman.

Roman: Hey man. Leave the little lady alone. There's nothing worse than a man who beats women. I can't stand your kind.

Braun angers as he stares at Roman.

Braun: Who are you?

Roman: My name is Roman.

Braun: What are you doing here?

Roman: I'm looking for Mickie and Rebecca. And Rebecca happens to be the girl I love.

Braun smirks.

Braun: Heh. Love makes you weak.

Roman: No. That's not true at all. Love makes me stronger. Hate makes you weak.

Braun: Your kind is worthless. Men like you are just as worthless as every female out there. Of any race!

Roman: I wouldn't expect your kind to understand. I have a soft spot for Rebecca. I love her. And I'm gonna find her.

Braun: Not if I find them first! And I promise you. I will break every bone in their body!

Roman smirks.

Roman: Heh. You don't know Mickie or Rebecca very well. Their the two toughest girls I know. Mickie would rip you a new hole. And she wouldn't even need full power to do it.

Braun angers.

Braun: Your full of it little man. I'm gonna give you one chance to walk away. Go away and I won't hurt you.

Braun turns to Torrie and he grabs her hand and he pulls her up.

Braun: And as for you. I'm throwing you in the volcano!

Torrie looks scared and she tries to get free.

Torrie: No! No! Please! No!

Braun drags Torrie toward the volcano opening. Smoke and fire blow out of the hole.

Torrie: No! Let me go! Let me go! Please! I'll do anything for you!

Braun: Now your gonna get what you deserve!

Braun: Ahhhh!

Roman stands his ground.

Braun: How dare you protect her! Who do you think you are letting her go like that?

Roman: You know. I was gonna let you off easy. But since you tried to beat an innocent woman and you want to do the same to Mickie and Rebecca. I'm gonna take you down and I won't show any mercy.

Braun angers.

Braun: I'm gonna break every bone in your body little man.
