trailer - Intro to the greatest Villain of the times
The camera pans into a view of a busy bar and grill. Some families are there having a nice meal on a clear Friday night. That same guy that shows up there every day dressed up in emo's clothing is at the corner of the bar. He has some headphones on and bobs his head to a beat a bit unenthusiastically. After focusing on a man center bar the camera stops and the "bartender" asks "The usual?"
"Yeah, just play it." The man says as he sits down on a stool.
The man looked up, the news was on. He sighed at it's report.
"The polls are in and in a land slide victory once again President Henry Brennon is victorious." The tally shows a perfect 99% to 1% victory including the whole 1% margin of error message. The bartender shakes his head and gives him a blue tooth looking device and he puts it in his ear. A seconds of "American Idiot" plays before the song fizzles out into a pre-recorded message. The man confused taps the ear piece before some talking comes from the other end.
"Don't panic, and stay still. Do exactly what I say and you will live a bit longer, Jeremy."
Jeremy looked around and the voice repeated...
"I said be still, Jeremy. Look down at the bar and just stay there... in about 30 seconds if you are hearing this you will be glad you did."
A few moments later two men in black looking to rob the place blind busted in the door.
"This is not me, I am coming in after them... when I hit the lights I expect you to put your head down and cover. This could get a bit messy."
Another man in Black starts putting directions in a spheroid device and rolls it out in front of the robbers and everyone else. Then dashes back into the darkness.
Robber One: "Give me the money, man!" He points his gun at Jeremy and cocks it. Then the lights go out. In pitch black a series of gun shots are fired and lit the room flashing the chaos that made Jeremy cover his eyes in fear. After what seemed like the end of a jiffy pop bag the firing ceased and the lights were turned on... when Jeremy opened his eyes everyone in that bar was dead except him... and a very scared looking emo kid. Jeremy started to panic and thought to run before the voice chimed back in.
"Don't move!... My device is triggered by movement."
Jeremy grit his teeth. "You killed them!... You killed all of them!."
The voice on the other end laughed. "You fail to see the beauty in my line of work. Those people were sacrificial lambs intended to be killed in exchange for your lives. I simply changed their plans and made it better. They still get to mind fuck America, but you two... will still exist.
The Emo kid chimed in and stood up. "Who the hell are you?... Why did you save us?" The moment he stood up Jeremy watched the sphere rise from the ground and shoot the boy dead instantly.
"Non-conformity in this case was not an option for him, a pity."
Jeremy seemed to become more and more enraged by his "Savior".
"At least answer his question! stop this madness!"
The figure in black picked up the ball... it was deactivated.
"I offer you a consolation... that is that the One percent is not a margin of error, you do exist and I have been sworn to protect you. This country is under a spell... and a choice few of you have been able to resist it's powers. This does come with a price to pay. You are just like me, Jeremy. You are the villain. Now that you have lived they will come after you, they will keep coming until you are dead or they are dead. Embrace these facts or be doomed with the rest of them.
Jeremy looked at him and nodded... "You still haven't said who you are..."
The black figure seemed to disappear to the left and Jeremy ran outside... he tapped the bluetooth and the voice chimed in as the camera panned up to show that the figure was behind Jeremy on the roof.
