The Gothic Underworld
25-09-2004, 16:31
(OOC: Italics will mean the happenings on the screen, atostrophes will mean the narrator's voice.)

A gothic cityscape comes into view, showing the skyline of Emerald City in a shade of dusk. Muzak.

"Emerald City, a great city of the nation of Assington....."

The scene changes to that of a back alley, where some shadows appear on the far end.

"For many years, vampires have resided in Emerald City. They have fought, warred, within their own kind, never getting involved with creatures of any kind, bound only by the blood they drink......"

Scene changes to that of a young woman trying and failing to escape from a ravenous fledgling in the back alley, and the fledgling drinking from the woman.

"This has gone on for many years, with the only battles being fought between vampires of the Hyraphore, and the scattered covens of Assington. But all that, is about to change forever.........."

Scene suddenly flashes, and changes to where the ladies talking to Agent Rosenberg and Agent Velic (page 1) turns into lycans and charges at them, straight into the camera, then darkness.

"The Lycans have joined the battle."

New scene appears, that of the vampires facing off against the numerous Lycans when Daniel Able ambushes them with a chasm. Techno music starts up in place of the muzak that started the trailer.

"Now, the battle intensifies, as many factions fight for their survival. The old legends make their return......"

Change scene, Skadi is shown standing on the rooftop of a skyscraper looking down, then changes to Hondur leading the ASHVO on the raid against the rogue vampires, then changes to Whiptail stalking the alleys.

"......some of them in new forms......."

Change scene to a close-up of Sigrun's face pressed to his bow, then as Sigrun looses an arrow, the camera pans towards the arrow's flight until it pierces a Lycan's throat.

"........Villians return in their full glory......."

Change scene to Alexander plotting behind a desk, then to Daniel on the rooftop exercising his Strigoi powers in the chasm scene

".........and new powers enter the fray."

Scene changes to Tyr and Avatre side by side in a battle, then to Icarus, throwing bombs at attacking Lycans with a maniacal cackle, then to Shea, a close-up to his face behind a sniper rifle, then to Zero, dismembering attacking Lycans with a slash of battle energy from his Saber

"It will be a time for strife, a time for bloodshed, a time for great deeds......."

Change scene to a Skadi-Alexander showdown, a Zero-Tyr duel, Sigrun & Hondur vs. Daniel & Tyr, and other various such showdowns that will happen in the course of AV3

".......new alliances will be formed........"

Change scene to Avatre and Tyr glaring at Alexander during the negotiation scene with the alliance of the Kantrawulves and the Hyraphore, then to the first tense meeting with Skadi and Zero, then Sigrun and Hondur glaring at each other

".......as the battle for Assington commences........"

Flashes of various fight scenes flash throughout the scene, culminating into what is ostensibly the final showdown, showing the ASHVO Coalition (Skadi, Sigrun, Hondur, Garm, Whiptail(?), Zero, maybe Icarus) facing incredible odds against a literal tide of Kantrawulves charging towards them.

Sigrun (with bow and arrows aimed at the Lycan force): They outnumber us greatly, at least 10 to 1 here.
Zero (with Sword and Saber in hands): Well, look on the bright side, that's a lot more variety for us, don't you think?

Screen blacks out, then reveals the title of the movie, while the narrator says.....

"Assington Vampires 3: Underworld. Coming this Summer 2005"

OOC: Ok, that's how bored i was, and if you guys are wondering, i made some of that up :p

OOC: Believe it or not, here comes Trailer no. 2!!!

IC:
First scene that appears is of Skadi sitting on a rooftop, looking over the skyline of Emerald City

"It has been peace in Assington for many years. The wars are long over, at least for the humans. In that time, many things have happened. Those dead have come back live......"

Change to a closeup of Sigrun emerging into the light in Skadi's room....

"And passion have taken the place of hate......."

Change to Skadi and Sigrun, half-naked and hugging in bed, then change to Zero and Aeris in a bathtub scene, similar to the one found in the Celadrin thread :p , then to Tyr and Avatre kissing up after their argument, then black out.

"All that, is about to be consigned to history."

Sudden change of scene to the car chase scene between ASHVO and the werewolves.

"As Emerald City is once more embroiled in the greatest conflict yet, violence will ensue, greater than ever......"

Change to lycan ladies turning into their wolve selfs and tearing into Agent Rosenberg, then to Skadi throwing her throwing knife point blank at a wolf

"......treachery will ensue......"

Change scene to Skadi, pointing his gun at Skadi.

Skadi: So it has come to this, Garm?
Garm: I'm sorry, but i have my orders.
Hondur: Garm, cease this nonsense!
Garm: The President has given me the order to terminate Skadi, Hondur. You cannot override him.
Skadi: I knew you could not be trusted.

Change scene to Tyr and Avatre arguing.

Avatre: Well, one of us is still strong. I will NEVER kneel to Alexander. I will NEVER kneel to any Vampire. I will stand and fight against them, and our clan will fight with me. And if you are not strong enough to stand with me, I will lead the Kantrawulves alone!


"And as new players enter the scene......."

Change scene to Stephen firing his dual Uzis in the chasm scene, to Icarus throwing explosives around with glee, to Zero doing his "rain of energy" move in the chasm scene, then blackout.

"The battle will commence, more intense than ever."

Change scene to Alexander looking through the files at his desk, then looking up with an evil grin, while the narrator says.....

"Will you be prepared for the Battle of Assington?"

Scene blackouts, then the words of the title is shown, while the narrator says.....

"Assington Vampires 3: Underworld. Coming this Summer 2005."

Cool man. :)

You and me 50-50. Sell the rights of AV3 to some movie producer and make a bundle. What do you say?

I think you're both forgetting that the AV series is my intellectual property. ^_^

I think what we all are forgetting we can't do AV3 as a movie unless we do the others. Instead of one movie, lets have several and rake in the green. Plus we all have well devolped characteres from one of the early threads, the viewer would be left in the dark about the characters and thier past.
I personally think it should be in this order

The Origin of Darkness in Assington thread

Assington Vampires

Assington Vampires 2

Change of Blood

Dark Asscendant (I forget the exact title but is close to that, where Maximus dies)

Dark Hearts

Assington Vampires 3

Assington, yes. AV is your "intellectual property". I was forgetting that, you and me 50-50.

There are actually two more threads that will pop up that go between TOODWA and AVI.

COB is before AVII

That title is Darkness Ascendant

And, how about 90/10.... in my favour of course... ;)

lol... Well, its interesting how the agent that is going to go rogue (i.e. Shea Lancer) is not even mentioned in it... Ah well... Its always good to have a supporting character.

90/10?

How about 80/20?

I thought COB was after AV2. Because in AV2 Maximus is about 150 years old, in COB he is about 250-300.

Bah... you're right. *fixes timeline*

90/10.... :)

5CN, i did mention Shea in the first "trailer".....although of course it isn't much of a mention.

On another note, Assington, you're forgetting that not all of the characters in AV belongs to your franchise, really. I'm thinking everyone who is involved in AV3 gets a share of the cuts according to how important their character is in the thread, with the bulk of the proceeds going to Assington for Skadi, Hondur, and Garm, followed by Tarl for Sigrun/Maximus, while the rest of us get a smaller cut each :p

GU...sounds good to me for the pay cuts hehe! Except that for those of us who started particular threads (ie: me: COB, DA, DH), that person should be given the largest cut for that thread/movie.

And AV2 does come before COB...Maximus was 150 yrs old in AV2, and 235 yrs old in COB.

Clouds roll across an open sky and a full moon comes into focus.

The foundations of the world shake once more as the winds of war begin to howl...

The slash of a sword is seen, blood splatters onto the camera and along a wall...

A new power has arisen to stand alone in the night...

Sigrun is shown in full Elven armor, hands held to the side with magic culminating around his fingers. Ten Lycans menacingly pace in front of him...

Hosts of the last alliance join once more...

A semi-rapid change of pictures showing the faces of Skadi, Sigrun, Whiptail, a quick solo of drums in between each picture...

Old enemies must join together to fight the common threat...

Hondur's face is shown with shock of Sigrun's old alias...

...the Lycans...

Snarling is heard as a few werewolves are seen charging toward Skadi, Sigrun, Zero, Hondur, Stephen...

The third battle for Emerald City begins its chapters in Assingtonian history

Sigrun's voice is heard: They outnumber us here, at least 10 to 1.

Scene switches to Skadi's apartment:

Sigrun speaks: "A wise philosopher of China once said, 'One who speaks deferentially but increases his preparations will advance; one who speaks belligerently and advances hastily will retreat.'..."

Skadi turns and smiles at Sigrun. Her eyes laugh with maliciousness...Her voice drips with murderous intent...

"Are you ready? We have an appointment with a few veterinarians...and they want to neuter our canine friends..."

The pit is shown, filled with tar and coated with blood. Gunshots are heard, and magic is seen to throw lycans into the pit.

The Lycans are here for blood...

Brief view of Alexander behind a desk, fingers steepled before him as he watches two dark figures walk away...Another scene showing Avatre and Tyr arguing about Alexander, Avatre slaps Tyr hard, with nails drawing blood.

"Once, you were a strong one...now I am ashamed of you!" Avatre's voice is heard as she scolds Tyr.

The question that remains...

Avatre is seen leading an entire army of Lycans into battle, the thundering footsteps racing toward the camera.

Skadi and Hondur are seen leading their armies toward the Lycans, weapons drawn, blood-thirsty screams filling the air...

Are you vampire or lycan?...

Scenes of fierce battling fade out to a single moon with vampire fangs in the background, and 'Summer 2005' shown in the center, in blood red type...

It's time for you to stand for your own...

Good... Good... Prepares to create own little trailer... I'll post it later...

OOC:5CN, do a trailer that centers around your character, if you will...that's the plan for the rest of any trailers on this thread. Thanks.
