"Hell School"
written by Fabiano Cruz

We’re at a foggy and obscure basement, that’s packed with heathenish symbols. The place is illuminated only by a few candle lights.

In the midst of the basement is a CRYPTIC FIGURE wearing a CHINA CLAY MASK. In front of him is a HEATHEN IDOL.

CRYPTIC FIGURE: “Underworld Creatures, hear my pledge! Grant me the power to obliterate the most squalid beasts that inhabit my world! Grant me the power! (screaming) GRANT ME!”

Nothing happens.

CRYPTIC FIGURE: “Oh crap, I’m going to have to start all over again...”

The Lights is turned on in the Basement.

MARIA WILSON: “Stanley, Why are you awake so late at night?”

The CRYPTIC FIGURE takes away it’s mask and turns, revealing his face. STANLEY WILSON looks a bit upset with his mother presence (He is wearing a GOLD MEDALLION on his chest).

STANLEY: “Mother! You’ve said that I would have privacy here! Come on!”

MARIA WILSON (emphatic) : “GO TO BED, Stanley! It’s quarter past nine!”

STANLEY gets really disappointed.

STANLEY: “All right, I’m sorry, mother!”

ADAM’S HOUSE/BEDROOM-NIGHT.

The Stereo is playing “The boy with a thorn in his side” of “The Smiths” (Yeah baby!). Next to ADAM'S BED is LEAD BOX*. ADAM and HAL are seated in front of the computer that at a leisurely pace opens a picture of a naked woman. It’s taking forever. They just glance the computer SCREEN without an expression on their faces. It’s taking forever.

* check "Champion #1"

ADAM: “I have to get a faster modem...”

HAL: “Yeah.”

The picture is still opening. It’s not even on her chest yet.

ADAM: “Dakota is throwing a party on Friday.”

HAL: “I know.”

There’re no boobs yet on the picture.

ADAM: “Wanna go?”

HAL: “Sure...”

Hold on! We’re about to have our first free boob shot in this series when suddenly an error message appears: “Windows error #34: Unable to connect to this server”.

ADAM: “I hate you Bill Gates!”

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/PRINCIPAL WILSON'S OFFICE-DAY.

KENNY WATSON is seated by a table. STANLEY is standing behind the table. The boy is really scared.

STANLEY (he opens a sadistic smile): “This is all I’ve been waiting, Mr. Watson. I was just asking for a opportunity and you gladly handed to me...”

KENNY: “But Mr. Wi--”

STANLEY: “Only when you’re spoken to, ‘Kenny’! Only when you’re spoken to!”

KENNY can’t help it. He starts to cry. Loudly. WILSON seems to take pleasure from that.

STANLEY: “Well, you’re on detention, punk. Four weeks. And I shall ponder if your little chemistry stunt will be in your permanent record.”

KENNY (crying harder): “Oh god! Don’t do it, please!”

STANLEY (disgusted): “Get your sorry ass out of my office, Mr. Watson!”

KENNY stands up and lives.

STANLEY: “I hate teenagers!”

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/CORRIDOR-DAY.

DAKOTA: “I know! Like, Champion is coolest person on this pla--”

ADAM bumps into DAKOTA.

DAKOTA: “Watch it, loser!”

STANLEY opens a drawer and picks AN OLD BOOK and the MEDALLION.

STANLEY: “Now, what the crap did I do wrong?”

STANLEY starts to read the book.

ADAM’S HOUSE/BEDROOM-NIGHT.

ADAM is on his bed, watching TV. The NEWS shows a MAN WEARING A BODY ARMOR attacking an amusement park. ADAM just remains watching. He doesn’t seem to care.

THE BRINGER (holding a lit cigarette): “Adam!”

ADAM, frightened, falls from the bed.

ADAM (mad): “Jesus man, What the crap?!”

THE BRINGER: “What?”

ADAM (mad): “You nearly gave me a fucking heart attack! What the crap were you thinking?”

THE BRINGER: “I have a message for you, Champion.”

ADAM (mad): “What the crap are babbling about?”

THE BRINGER: “Something is coming... Some kind big... Be ready!”

THE BRINGER then turns and starts to leave.

ADAM: “Hey, that’s it?”

THE BRINGER (turning to ADAM): “What do you mean?”

ADAM: “Well, you just appears out of nowhere, says that something is coming and then leaves? Who the crap are you? The fucking Dungeon Master?”

THE BRINGER: “Just do your job!”

A COP screams in the TV. ADAM looks when he turns to THE BRINGER, the guys is no longer there.

ADAM: “I hate you!”

HEATHER BARTON: “The police won’t be able to stop the mayhem...”

ADAM (staring at the TV): “I wonder if I’m supposed to do something about it...Probably not. (ADAM thinks for a second) God, having a conscience sucks ass!”

EXT AMUSEMENT PARK NIGHT

There’s destruction everywhere. Fire, debris and chaos. METAL MADNESS fires a energy blast against a bunch of cops.

Two COPS are hiding behind a SOFT DRINKS VENDING MACHINE.

COP #1: “What the hell are we going to do now?”

STANLEY WILSON’S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM NIGHT

STANLEY and MARIA are having a quiet dinner. The TV is on. MARIA watches a “TJ HOOKER” rerun and STANLEY reads his book.

MARIA (enraptured): “Oh yeah, Shatner! Shake that ass!”

STANLEY (fumbling): “...medallion...blah, blah, blah... rebirth. Blood into power... (stanch) That’s It! (Loud) Blood into power! Blood into power! I HAVE THE ANSWER!”

MARIA (mad): “Stanley! This is Shatner’s hour! You’re not allowed to talk on Shatner’s hour!”

STANLEY: “I’m sorry mother...”

AMUSEMENT PARK NIGHT

METAL MADNESS throws a CAR on a ROLLER COASTER.

METAL MADNESS: “This place is tainted! I’m not gonna leave anything standing still!”

CHAMPION (hovering above METAL MADNESS): “Gee, all of you pretense super villains talk like each other?”

METAL MADNESS just fires a powerful blast of energy at CHAMPION. Our hero is caught off his guard and it’s thrown on the other side of the park.

CHAMPION (standing up): “I definitely need more presence...”

CHAMPION’S cape is all burned. He starts flying in Superspeed. (He destroy all the toys that are between him and METAL MADNESS). CHAMPION hits METAL MADNESS in superspeed, they break through a fence and end up outside the AMUSEMENT PARK in the MIDDLE of a EXPRESS WAY.

METAL MADNESS: “Don’t get in my way boy! This doesn’t concern you!”

Cars are trying desperately to avoid the two guys.

CHAMPION: “That’s where you are wrong! I’m a Champion in the battle between good and evil... So when a evil doer is doing something evil...”

CHAMPION punches METAL MADNESS really hard.

CHAMPION: “It does concern me...”

Suddenly a CAR is thrown at CHAMPION. It falls over our hero.

METAL MADNESS: “You fought well, boy, just not we--”

The Car is thrown back onto METAL MADNESS.

CHAMPION: “Yeah, sucker! (worried) Oh shit, I wonder if there were anyone in there?”

A MAN arrives near the fight.

MAN: “Not really. That was my car though.”

CHAMPION: “Send the bill to the Power Company and everything will be fine...”

The MAN nods positively. A lot of press members appear in the scene. Suddenly a FLASH OF LIGHT from under the CAR that’s ripped in two. METAL MADNESS appears.

METAL MADNESS (mad): “Let’s settle this for good, boy!”

CHAMPION: “Oh crap!”

METAL MADNESS flies towards CHAMPION, concentrates and builds a Lead wall in front of METAL MADNESS. METAL MADNESS breaks through it but when he reaches the other side he’s surprised but a powerful blow from CHAMPION. METAL MADNESS is thrown brutally against a wall. He’s out of commission. The reporter starts to take pictures from both METAL MADNESS (unconscious) and CHAMPION, that flies a little bit. He’s hang in the air above the press.

CHAMPION (To Metal Madness): “Oh yeah, bitch! Surrender to the power of the MIGHTY CHAMPION!”

SOMEONE TAKES A PIC OF CHAMPION. THE IMAGE FREEZES WITH THIS PICTURES. THAT’S PUT IN THE FRONT PAGE OF “SUNNY VALLEY TIMES”. THE HEADLINE IS: “ROGUES SURRENDER TO SUNNY VALLEY’S NEWEST HERO: ‘THE MIGHT CHAMPION’”.

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/BEDROOM NIGHT.

DAKOTA is watching the news. Her room is wide, all walls were painted pink, there’re posters of all sorts of bad music bands or “musicians” (PINK, LIMP BIZKIT, ETC.).

STANLEY is wearing the same OUTFIT from the first scene. He’s holding a dagger.

STANLEY (screaming): “Turn my blood into power! Make me strong enough to destroy the most vicious creatures in the planet! I beg you, turn it into power!”

STANLEY cuts his own hand and smears the blood on the medallion. The medallion starts to glow red. Something explodes in the basement. We can’t seen anything because of the fog. Silence. When it’s cleared. STANLEY is near a wall. Unconscious. MARIA enters in the basement. STANLEY begins to wake.

MARIA: “Stanley! I told you not to disturb me wh--”

STANLEY stands up. Mad.

STANLEY (his eyes glow red): “Shut up, mother! This is MY space! Leave or suffe--”

MARIA (exasperated): “STANLEY WILSON? Who told ya that you could talk back to your mother like that?”

STANLEY (still with the red glowing eyes thing): “Mothe--”

MARIA: “Apologize!”

STANLEY: “I will not! I’m the carrier of an ancien--”

MARIA (firm): “APOLOGIZE NOW!”

STANLEY gasps. Silence.

STANLEY: “I’m sorry, mother.”

STANLEY: “Oh mother, not the desert!”

MARIA leaves the basement.

EXT SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/SCHOOL’S YARD DAY

The yard is packed with teens, that just hang out, chat and do teen related stuff. HAL and ADAM are seated next to a Garden.

ADAM: “Man the party will be awesome!”

HAL: “Yeah, I mean, if we don’t get our asses kicked by Lance or the other jocks!”

ADAM: “Don’t be a fucking wuss, Hal!”

HAL: “Well, it’s hard not be a wuss when IN FACT I am ONE !”

ADAM: “Just take it easy, dude! Everything will be fine!”

STANLEY: “A Party?! Interesting!”

INT UNKNOWN WHEREABOUTS DAY

THE BRINGER is seated near a bonfire. He appears to be inside a cave. THE BRINGERS has his eyes shut.

*translated from Latin.

INT SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/CORRIDOR DAY

HAL is opening his locker. ADAM is near him.

HAL: “We have to came up with a course of action...”

ADAM: “Course of action? We’re going to a party, Hal, not a fucking war!”

HAL: “What’s the difference?”

Right about now STANLEY appears and both HAL and ADAM shut up.

STANLEY: “Adam Tyler, just the man I wanted to see...”

ADAM: “Oh, this can’t be good...”

STANLEY: “You’ve got that right! Follow me to my office, okay?”

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL DAY.

We’re inside STANLEY WILSON’S OFFICE. ADAM seems really scared (he didn’t looked this scared even when he fought METAL MADNESS AND THE PERNICIOUS DESTROYER). STANLEY WILSON is staring at a some files.

STANLEY: “I’ve been staring at your grades and I feel compelled to say. It’s not pretty...”

ADAM: “Come on it can be that ba--”

STANLEY pushes the files until ADAM is able to stare at it. ADAM is impressed but not in a good way.

ADAM: “Oh fu...dge”.

STANLEY (grinning): “Oh yeah! I think I’ll have to schedule a meeting with Mrs. Tyler to discuss your possible failure...”

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/SCHOOL YARD DAY

ADAM looks catatonic. HAL is standing there watching DAKOTA SUMMER’S ass (she was wearing a tiny skirt).

HAL (staring DAKOTA’S ASS): “So, you’re pretty much fucked, huh?”

ADAM: “Not yet. I will be after my mom comes here.”

HAL: “And that will be?”

ADAM: “Monday I think...”

HAL: “Adam, I’ve told you this once and I’ll repeat. Never worry about anything in advance. You still have a whole weekend ahead of you, man. You can worry about this on Monday...”

ADAM: “Dude, when you’re little motivational speeches start to make sense to me, something is definitely wrong...”

HAL: “I should write a book. I would be a millionaire. (pause) You think that if I became a millionaire Dakota Summers would go out with me?”

ADAM: “Probably not...”

HAL: “Go crap yourself, you filthy prick!”

ADAM chuckles. He looks at nowhere for a second. HAL keeps staring at DAKOTA’S ass.

ADAM: “Damn, Principal Wilson is evil I’m tellin’ ya, bro.”

The bell rings. All the students starts to leave. DAKOTA walks towards the building. HALL follows a little behind staring at her ass.

HAL: “I’m so in love with that ass!”

ADAM thinks. He has an idea, ADAM concentrates and we see the GREEN EFFULGENCE enclosing his body.

FRONT OF DAKOTA’S HOUSE.

DAKOTA’S HOUSE is huge. Three stories high, greekish columns in front of if. A marvelous garden. From the gate to the main entrance of the house it must be almost one hundred feet. Today the place is crowded. Teenagers hang out all over the place. HAL is a bit scared. He’s alone walking back and forth in front of the gate.

HAL: “Where the crap is Adam? I’m going to kill that little bitch!”

ADAM is approaching (TO GIVE THE RIGHT EXACTLY AMOUNT OF COOLNESS IMAGINE THIS SEQUENCE IN SLOW MOTION. POSSIBLE WITH “BREAK ON THROUGH” FROM THE DOORS. THE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS VERSION WORKS TOO. BUT NOT AS MUCH. TRY TO IMAGINE THE FIRST ONE. PLEASE.) He’s wearing a leather overcoat (JUST LIKE THE ONE SILENT BOB WAS WEARING IN ‘MALLRATS’), a white T-shirt underneath, jeans, and black boots. ADAM stops near HAL.

HAL (staring at the overcoat): “Wow! That’s really cool, dude!”

ADAM: “I know.”

HAL: “I don’t have, like, guns hidden in the right?”

ADAM: “Shut up! Let’s go!”

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM DAY.

The stereo is blast some really bad music. The kids drink, smoke, dance, hang out. DAKOTA is near KELLY PARKER and BRANDI ROGERS.

BRANDI: “Wow! Dakota, this party is amazing!”

KELLY: “It’s even better than last year’s...”

BRANDI: “Oh yeah, definitely!”

DAKOTA is not even paying attention to them. She’s looking for someone within the crowd. LANCE comes from behind DAKOTA and places his hands over her eyes.

LANCE (changing his voice): “Guess who?”

DAKOTA (excited): “Champion! OHMYGOD! I can’t--”

BRANDI and KELLY are a bit flabbergasted.

LANCE (taking his hands off her, mad): “Champion?? Dakota, what the crap?!”

DAKOTA: “I’m so-sorry, Lance. But I’m...”

LANCE: “You’re what?”

DAKOTA (unsure): “I think I’m in love with him...”

LANCE: “In love? For a guy you’ve only meet once?! You have to be kidding me!”

DAKOTA: “What can I sa--”

LANCE: “We’ve been going out for two years now, Dakota!”

DAKOTA: “I don’t know what to say, Lance.”

CASEY (still with the broken jaw) is moving closer ‘em.

LANCE: “You’re going to regret this!”

DAKOTA: “I’m sorry.”

LANCE: “Whatever!”

As LANCE turns and walks away he bumps into CASEY.

CASEY: “The... pain... Oh... God... The pain...”

BRANDI and KELLY can’t believe what just happened. DAKOTA walks out of the living room.

OUTSIDE DAKOTA’S HOUSE/NIGHT.

PRINCIPAL WILSON is standing on the sidewalk looking into the house.

STANLEY (disgusted): “I hate teenagers... They’re the most unclean creatures on the planet...”

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/BACKYARD/NIGHT.

HAL, really discouraged seats on a bench by his side is DAKOTA SUMMERS. It looks like DAKOTA has been cryin’. They stay in silence for a second.

HAL: “So...”
DAKOTA (determined): “NO!”

HAL: “Hey! I would just ask what happened...”

DAKOTA: “Why do you care?”

HAL: “Well, I don’t actually. But since I’m a polite person I would ask it anyway.”

They stay in silence for a second.

HAL: “So, what happened?”

DAKOTA sighs.

DAKOTA: “A lot of stuff... You know when you want something really bad... but you don’t know if you can get it?”

HAL staring at DAKOTA’S breasts.

HAL: “Yeah...”

DAKOTA: “I’ve meet this guy. This really cool guy and I think I felt in love with him...”

HAL: “What happened?”

DAKOTA: “I don’t think I can have him...”

OUTSIDE DAKOTA’S HOUSE/NIGHT

STANLEY picks a knife from his pocket.

STANLEY: “It’s time!”

He cuts his own hand and smears the blood on the medallion. The Medallion starts to glow again. STANLEY feels his body being ripped in two. He screams. STANLEY starts to grow. He’s turning into something else. He’s skin turns red, he’s about 7’1’’, really fit and two yellow horns appears on his forehead. The transformation seems to be really painful cause the STANLEY (D-MON) falls on the ground, torpid.

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/BACKYARD-NIGHT.

HAL approaches DAKOTA (he’s really close to her now).

HAL (carefully placing his arm around DAKOTA’S shoulder): “You’re too beautiful to be cryin’ over some guy...”

DAKOTA doesn’t seem to mind HAL’S closeness.

DAKOTA: “He’s not some guy he’s the Cha--(embarrassed)never mind...”

HAL: “No. You can tell me. I won’t laugh...”

DAKOTA: “No...”

HAL: “Come on. Trust me.”

DAKOTA thinks for a second.

DAKOTA: “Champion. I was expecting Champion.”

HAL: “Oh. Him. I don’t know why girls are so crazy about him. (HAL thinks) Must be the tights.”

DAKOTA: “No, He’s something else entirely. He’s so cool...”

HAL: “Not that cool, actually. I mean he isn’t here already is he?”

DAKOTA: “Yeah, but who knows he can be saving the world or something...”

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/HALLWAY-NIGHT

There’s a big line outside the bathroom. ADAM is the first person in the line, he’s upset.

ADAM (banging on the door): “Get the crap out, bastard!”

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/BACKYARD-NIGHT

HAL and DAKOTA are exactly as they were when we left them.

HAL: “This is a party, Dakota. You worked really hard and if he doesn’t want to show, that’s his loss!”

DAKOTA opens a half smile.

DAKOTA: “I think you’re right...”

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM-NIGHT

BRANDI and KELLY seated on the couch.

BRANDI: “I cannot believe... Dakota totally blew Lance off!”

KELLY: “Yeah, I thought they would last forever.”

BRANDI: “Weird.”

KELLY: “You think she’s really in love with that Champion guy?”

BRANDI: “Totally. All the girls in Sunny Valley High are...”

KELLY: “He’s so sexy in those tights...”

Not so far away, ADAM was listening to the whole conversation. ADAM smiles. He leaves the living room in superspeed. No one notices. As ADAM leaves we see a BLACK AND GREEN BLUR.

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/BACKYARD-NIGHT.

DAKOTA: “You know, Timmy, you’re as dorky as I thought you were...”

HAL: “Hal.”

DAKOTA: “What?”

HAL: “My name is Hal...”

DAKOTA: “I like Timmy better...”

HAL: “ ME TOO! Hal is so old...”

Silence. They stare each other in the eyes. HAL is approaching DAKOTA. The unthinkable will happen. HAL will kiss a girl for the FIRST TIME in life. No just an ordinary girl, but DAKOTA SUMMERS. Their lips are almost touching. THAT’S IT!

CHAMPION: “Hello!”

DAKOTA looks up and she sees CHAMPION hovering above them.

DAKOTA (excited): “I can’t believe you made it! I thought that you wouldn’t come”

CHAMPION lands near DAKOTA. She stands up and gets closer to CHAMPION.

CHAMPION: “What? No way. A promise is a promise. If can’t trust a hero’s word who’ll you trust, right?”

HAL is still seated on the bench. He’s clearly overthrown.

DAKOTA: “So, what do you feel like doin’?”

CHAMPION: “I don’t know. This is your party...”

DAKOTA: “Let’s go inside. I wanna show you off...”

DAKOTA picks CHAMPION’S hand and starts to walk in the direction of the house.

CHAMPION: “Wait... Let’s do this properly...”

CHAMPION puts his arm around DAKOTA’S wait and holds her tight. They start flying.

DAKOTA: “ OHMYGOD! This is so cool!”

The two of them heads for the house.

HAL(mad, staring at CHAMPION): “I fucking hate that guy!”

OUTSIDE DAKOTA’S HOUSE-NIGHT

The D-MON starts slowly to wake up. He’s still in pretty bad shape.

DAKOTA: “Don’t worry...”

CASEY: “What...a...slut...”

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM-NIGHT

CHAMPION is drinking a can of Zesti Cola. DAKOTA is seated next to him. Everyone in the living room is staring at them, what makes them feel a bit uncomfortable.

DAKOTA: “I know.”

Silence.

DAKOTA: “How’s the soda?”

CHAMPION: “Good!”

Silence.

DAKOTA: “I can get you a beer...”

CHAMPION: “Thanks. I don’t drink...”

We hear a cacophony of hushed tones from the teenagers amazed. The hero doesn’t drink.
DRUNKEN GUY: “I gonna stop drinkin’ too...”

The DRUNKEN GUY blacks out.

CHAMPION: “So...”

DAKOTA: “Yeah...”

CHAMPION: “Totally...”

The kids keep staring at them.

DAKOTA’S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM-NIGHT

DAKOTA: “I have to tell ya, Champ. Can I call you Champ?”

CHAMPION: “Sure.”

DAKOTA: “I can’t get you out of my head since the first time laid eyes on you...”

CHAMPION: “Is that a bad thing?”

DAKOTA: “Not at all. It’s just, I’m not used to be swiped off my feet...”

CHAMPION opens a half smile.

CHAMPION: “Is that so?”

DAKOTA blushes.
DAKOTA (getting really close to CHAMPION): “But I do know exactly what I want...”

When the where about to kiss we start to hear a bunch of screaming from outside and scared teenagers start to run into the house.

CHAMPION: “Oh no! Not now!”

Suddenly CHAMPION sees D-MON coming towards the house.

CHAMPION: “Holy shit!”

DAKOTA screams. D-MON is coming towards the living room. CHAMPION gets up and heads for the monster, flying, the hero shoves his feet into D-MON’S face throwing the monster away from the house. The D-MON landed onto HAL. HAL is unconscious. CHAMPION didn’t even saw that. D-MON gets up, his eyes are glowing red, the medallion as well.

D-MON: “DIE! UNHOLY CREATURE!”

CHAMPION is stroked by a powerful fire ball.

CHAMPION: “OUCH! You bastard, why the hell did you do that fo-- Oh yeah, he’s the villain...”

The D-MON comes running heading for CHAMPION that strikes him with a mighty hook on the chin making the Monster fly away from the house. CHAMPION starts to fly after D-MON. HAL is still unconscious. He’s pretty wounded. At least one leg and two arms are broken. AT LEAST.

SKY-NIGHT.

D-MON is still flying ‘cause of the strength of the punch. He can’t seem to stop. CHAMPION follows from a distance.

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL-NIGHT

D-MON falls into the building opening a huge hole in the front wall.

CHAMPION: “Hole in one!”

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/LAB-NIGHT

CHAMPION enters in the lab through the whole the D-MON put on the wall. Nothing there. Silence. CHAMPION is apprehensive. Suddenly D-MON breaks through a wall and grabs CHAMPION’S neck. D-MON takes a better look at his antagonist.

D-MON: “You’re a teenager! (Pause) I hate teenagers!”

The MEDALLION glows head. D-MON blasts a fire ball that hits badly our Hero. Then D-MON throws CHAMPION away as if he was nothing. CHAMPION breaks through three walls in a row. He ends up.

SUNNY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL/MATH CLASS-NIGHT

CHAMPION stands up, feeling a bit wearied.

CHAMPION: “Damn, this dude is strong...”

D-MON comes running towards CHAMPION that looks frightened. CHAMPION concentrates and the GREEN EFFULGENCE surrounds his whole body. D-MON is about to walk through the whole CHAMPION put the wall when out of nowhere a steel bar appears near the ground. D-MON trips in it and falls down.
