LEGACY OF TURELZEVIR: DOLL REAVER

OFFICIAL GAME SCRIPT
(FINAL DRAFT)


SECTION 18 (KAIN)

“The meeting... Cinematic.”


EXT. NOSGOTH

More gates are forming every second in Nosgoth, spewing Hylden Stormtroopers into the world. In between the legions of Hylden, small groups of Turelim, Dumahim, Rahabim, Zephonim and Melchiahim and being rounded up for execution.

In the background, what was once known as the Silenced Cathedral is being transformed into The Device II, the weapon of mass destruction even more powerful than the first Device, and appears to be half constructed. The massive gaps in its shell are deceptive however, this weapon that can transcend both space and now time, is nearly complete.

From it a Hylden Hovership is launched and lands in front of the decaying Sanctuary of the Clans.

The ramp on the ship lowers and the SARAFAN LORD disembarks, striding straight into the structure’s entrance chambers.

INT. SANCTUARY OF THE CLANS – ENTRANCE CHAMBERS

The SARAFAN LORD walks in and waits in the middle of the room. After a few moments, a door he is facing opens and two Hylden Stormtroopers walk in, between them the handcuffed young KAIN.

The two, now fully aware of their identities, stare at each other as father and son.

HYLDEN STORMTROOPER
This is the vampire who surrendered to us. Although he denies it, I believe there may be more of them and I request permission to conduct a further search of the area.

The SARAFAN LORD for the first time looks away from KAIN and towards the HYLDEN STORMTROOPER.


HYDLEN STROMTROOPER
He was armed, only, with this.


The HYLDEN STORMTROOPER hands the SARAFAN LORD the material Soul Reaver.

SARAFAN LORD
Good work, Stormtrooper. Leave us. Conduct your search, and bring his companions to me.

HYLDEN STORMTROOPER
Yes my Lord.

The two HYLDEN STORMTROOPERS leave, and the SARAFAN LORD and KAIN walk side by side to the Hylden Hovership.

SARAFAN LORD
The Vamperor has been expecting you.

KAIN
I know, father.


Pause.

SARAFAN LORD
So, you have finally accepted the truth.

KAIN
I have accepted the truth that you were once Ani-Kain, my father.

The SARAFAN LORD stops walking and faces KAIN.

SARAFAN LORD
THAT name, no longer has any meaning for me.

KAIN
It is the name of your true self, you’ve only forgotten!
I know there is a vampire in you! The Vamperor hasn’t driven it from you fully.

KAIN looks away from the SARAFAN LORD onto Nosgoth’s horizon.


KAIN
That was why you couldn’t destroy me. That’s why you won’t bring me to your Vamperor now.

The SARAFAN LORD pulls the material Soul Reaver from its harness and holds it up, pink-purple energy flickering across its metal blade.


SARAFAN LORD
I see you have constructed a new material Soul Reaver, using the Doll Reaver. Your skills are complete.


The SARAFAN LORD replaces the reaver in its harness. He turns away from KAIN and looks through the stained window at the massive Device II.

SARAFAN LORD
Indeed you are powerful, as The Vamperor has foreseen.


KAIN turns back and moves to face the SARAFAN LORD again.

KAIN
Come with me!

SARAFAN LORD
Mortanius once thought as you do. You don’t know the power of the dark forces! I must obey my master.

KAIN
I will not turn, and you’ll be forced to kill me.

Pause.


SARAFAN LORD
If that is your destiny.

KAIN
Search your feelings father! You can’t do this! I feel the conflict within you, let go of this fate!


The SARAFAN LORD is visibly shocked by this. He looks down, at what he has become.

SARAFAN LORD
It is, too late, for me son.

The SARAFAN LORD raises his arm and the doors of the Hylden Hovercraft open.

Three red agents of the Vamperor’s Imperial Guard Hylden step out and surround Kain.

SARAFAN LORD
The Vamperor will show you the power of the Dark Forces. HE is your master now.

KAIN
Then, my father is truly dead.

The Imperial Guard Hylden lead KAIN into the Hylden Hovercraft.

The SARAFAN LORD, alone now, walks to a nearby broken pillar and places his arm on it heavily, to try and support the heaviest strain he has ever felt.
