Gallimaufry: Discovering God Scene

Lena lets out a cry of terror and Aaron cries in pain. Jaden runs forward and uses one shard of the mirror to see what he’s doing and the other to stab the beast. It screams and its attention is drawn away from Aaron. Lena grabs him and pulls him to his feet. They start running. Jaden starts to run with them, collecting some glass on his way.

When Jaden can no longer see the beasts in his mirror shard, the three stop for a quick rest close to Nerdfest. Lena examines Aaron’s wounds. He has teeth marks in his side, they are deep but not life threatening.

JADEN
Well at least we can now confirm that Doctor Phil is most likely the devil.
LENA
This isn’t time to be making jokes Jaden.
JADEN
I’m not joking, really. I was able to use the mirror to see the gallimaufry, and the only way you could do that is with the Mirror of Vanity crafted by the Devil himself.
AARON
That’s all fine and dandy, now that we can see ‘em. Now how do we kill ‘em?

Jaden takes out his phone and searches for a few minutes.

JADEN
It says that they can be killed by blades made and signed by God.

Lena stands up and walks into Nerdfest.

AARON
Hey where are you going?
LENA
We need blades with the word of god right?
JADEN
Yeah?
LENA
So, the only weapons we have that are signed, are signed by Stan Lee. Now who else can you imagine being God?

Aaron and Jaden exchange looks accusing her of being nuts.

LENA (CONT’D)
I know it sounds crazy, but what other choice do we have?
JADEN AND AARON
We could run.

Lena rolls her eyes.

LENA
These things will probably kill us when we get home. They don’t have a limit on where they go.

Both men sigh.

AARON
Alright, just let me sit for a minute.

Lena begins raiding through the different weapons signed by Stan Lee. She pulls out a KATANA, TWO SAIS, and a PAIR of CLAW GLOVES.

JADEN
Alright, Aaron you ready?
AARON
Are those Wolverine claws?
JADEN
Possibly, now take this and let’s go.
LENA
Way ahead of you boys.

Lena twirls the sai in her hands and starts walking. The boys get up and follow. Another growl from the beasts break through the air and the three gather back to back. They search with their mirror shards.

JADEN
It’s above!
LENA
There’s one coming straight for us.
AARON
Here comes that bastard that bit me.

A three on three battle begins. Glimpses can be seen through the mirrors as it goes on. Jaden stabs one through the heart and it falls over. It becomes visible with out the use of the mirror.

JADEN
Stab it in the heart!

Lena pulls back her arm and her blade connects with one of the Gallimaufry.
It falls before her feet dead.
Aaron thrusts his fist forward punching the claws into his opponents chest and it falls onto it’s back, dead.

AARON
How many more of these things are there?

He starts breathing heavily.

JADEN I saw three at the fashion stage.
AARON
I hope those are the only ones left.

They stay silent for a few moments, examining each other to see how badly they were wounded. 

LENA
Well you guys ready?
AARON
As ready as I can be, how about you Jaden?
JADEN
Same, let’s get this over with.
