THE NARRATOR
Sometimes a moment can change things. Sometimes, in an instant, our choices are made for us. The retaliation of an enemy. The realization of a truth. The betrayal of a lifelong friend. Yes, indeed, it is the small moments that change everything. Including two best friends: bonded by brotherhood, yet separated by circumstance.
[Jimmy and Justin climb over a fence and make their way towards an abandon building.]
JIMMY
Aiyyo, Justin, Justin, come one, check this out man. Let's go inside.
JUSTIN
What's kind of place is this, man?
JIMMY
Yo, what is this place, man? Check it out. Whoa, this is sick, it's crazy, dude.
JIMMY
Go in there man. Stop being a girl.
JUSTIN
Let's go inside, come on. Follow me, unless you're scared.
JIMMY
This is sick. Ancient. Antique
JUSTIN

JIMMY

JIMMY
Just the way you like it. Yo, Justin! Justin!
JUSTIN
What's up?
JIMMY
Are you ready for my Bo Staff Sk**s? [Picks up a metal rod]
JUSTIN
Bo Staff?
JIMMY
Can't even hold on to it man. [Tries to pick up and catch the other rod, but fails.]
JUSTIN
Let's go! Huh? Aaaaahhh
JIMMY

JUSTIN

JIMMY

JUSTIN

JIMMY
Yo! I gotta get me some of that.
JUSTIN
Look at you. You look ridiculous, man. Dude, you don't actually believe that's what got me to do that.
JIMMY
Stop hatin' man. You're trippin', it's gonna work.
JUSTIN
No way, bro.
JIMMY
Aww yeah, man.
JUSTIN
Yo, check this out.
[The two begin Tricking around the room. They come back every day and continue to hone their sk**s. After a few days, Cole waters catches them on camera and relays their new dance attributes to this web blog.]
COLE
Cole Waters here. Reporting to you from the warehouse, the government doesn't want you to know about. As I've been reporting from my website, this place has been under heavy surveillance by me. In the past couple months, these, these odd items have been getting shipped into this “recently abandoned” warehouse. The items include uh, such stuff as clocks and colored lights, sneakers, thousands of empty test tubes, weird stuff. But, this story keeps getting stranger. These two young men defy gravity as I'm watching them. I found this symbol the other day. [Shows a paper with the letters “LXD” on it.] Oh, crap. Okay, okay, listen. This is Cole Waters. Reporting to you from colewaters.com. More info to come.
JIMMY
Where were you today?
JUSTIN
I gotta go. I got this in the male.
JIMMY
The LXD.
JUSTIN
They want me to train with them
JIMMY
You gotta do what you gotta do.
JUSTIN
Keep your head up alright. You'll be next, ight?
[Jimmy grabs the chain whips and screams in anger as he swings them around. Cuts to the Illster, coming out of the Drifts house, who hears the scream. He enters and notices the Jimmy's backpack with an LXD invitation. He picks it up and tears it into pieces. He advances towards Jimmy.]
