Int. Palace- Throne room- Night

He is seated comfortably

Ella: How nice it must be to be you. Seated comfortably and sipping wine while your men are out there dying

King Lion: You really do live up to your promise. You came! Seat down and have some, after all it will be the last drink for one of us

Ella: Of course it has to be you. Don't you think you have drank enough to last you an eternity in hell?

King Lion: It must be nice to be you. Calm and collected after our last encounter ended up with you having a poisoned arrow on your back.

Ella: Who cares about the words of a dying man

King Lion: You are surely someone else. You even got my son to abandon me. I give you credit for that

Ella: {I should be careful with this one, I don't want to hurt my baby} Now get what you deserve for all the innocent lives you took

There is a strong fight between them

King Lion: How dare a weakling like you try to get in my way. Just give up already

Ella: Giving up has never been in my nature. Now take that back

They continue fighting and she falls outside the building

Dan: (sees her) She went ahead without me. Crazy girl. Are you ok, do you need rest?

Ella: I did not spend my whole training to have a rest at this moment

Dan: Then let's move together

King Lion: I will let you accompany each other in the pits of hell

They continue the fight which results in Dan trapped under a table unable to move

Ella: Dan! Please be alive

King Lion: He is dead, now it's your turn

He grabs her by the neck and starts to squeeze the life out of her

Dan: You beast. Let go of her. Damn it! I am stuck

King Lion: Now look at how I will make you helplessly watch her die

She is struggling until she slowly loose energy

Ella: {Dan, I don't think I will make it}

Wayne realizes that Leo is surrounded and rushes to help him

Wayne: Leo look out!

He pushes him off but unfortunately his throat is split and he falls down

Leo: Wayne! No, no, please don't die on me. Hang on, I will get help (crying)

Ally: The battle is not a place for a child. Pick up your sword or you are next

Leo: He just wanted to be alive

Ally: He is gone, there is nothing you can do about it. Now get up and fight

*************

Dan is struggling to free himself, Ella swiftly releases a poisoned needle and injects his neck. He lets go of her neck while she breathes hard

Dan: (runs to her) Are you ok

Ella: Yes, I am still breathing

King Lion: My body, what have you done to me. I can't move

Ella: You are poisoned, don't worry it won't kill you because I will end you with my sword. As I told you, you will never have wine again

Together they chop off this head, go outside and lift it high. The other soldiers cease fire and surrender

Ella: It is finally over

Dan: We made it out alive

Ella: I am glad (she collapses)

Dan: Ella! Blood!

Melanie: (rushes) Where? Let me see, I hope the cut is not too deep or else it will harm the baby

Dan: Baby!?

Melanie: Yes, she wanted to tell you when it was all over

Dan: How can she do such a stupid thing

Jade: It sounds just like her, always thinking about the mission no matter what

Dan: Will she be ok

Melanie: Yes, they are not in danger. She just needs to rest now

Girlie: She surely is legendary

Riley: She really is something else

Everyone rushes out to reconcile with their loved ones

Mercy: Where is she? Didn't she make it?

Ally: Old woman, how dare you curse me

Mercy: I am glad you are ok (hugs her) Let's live a happy life from now on

*********

Leo: Mom, dad!

Eve: My son, you have grown a lot. You must have been through a lot

Mr Cue: You have changed, you no longer look delicate. You look like a warrior

Leo: We all had to change just for this moment

Eve: Let's go home, I will cook you the best food. The three of us, let's be happy for a long time

Leo: Mmmh, I miss your cooking

***********

Max: My lady

Riley: You remember me? I haven't been one for a while now. Look at me

Max: To me you are, I didn't get your name last time

Riley: Call me Riley

Max: Riley, its a beautiful name. It suits you

Riley: Thank you and I am sorry for stealing from you

Max: All is forgiven as long as you promise to get to know each other anew. I am Max by the way

Mary: My son, look at you. You look very cool

Dawn: Mom! I am sorry I took long to get to you

Mary: It doesn't matter, what matters is that we are together now

Int. Classroom - Day

Years Later

Leo is looking lovingly at his wife who is teaching children to read and write

Leo: Honey!

Ally: All right, the class is over. Go on (they run outside) Honey! When did you come

Leo: Let's go and have a meal together

Ally: Lets go

Leo: By the way, we are having dinner tonight at the palace

Ally: How do you know? I hope you are not still obsessing over her.

Leo: Are you jealous? Don't worry, my eyes are only for you. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life

Ally: I trust you

Ella (V.O): My best friend and my missed out husband became top professors. Every boy and girl will have an equal opportunity to become scholars
