Redemption [Stage Play Script]

Script 2

Arthur: If you're truly my brother, I couldn't kill you more!

Darius: If you don't kill me, both of us would fail to protect Avalon from danger, Arthur! Your master would know the truth about me and he would force you to kill her instead!

Arthur: Please, don't make me do this!

Darius: The Organization's lie would strengthen more if you kill me.

Arthur: The woman in my dreams... Who is she? The woman that makes me sad whenever I see Avalon, who is she? Do you know?

Darius: Only father knows who it is, Arthur. Just like you, I never knew my mother. I have stayed in peace and quiet in many years, serving the Koizumi family along with our father... But... years after, a war broke out and went to save you in the country of where he came from... He told me everything... He told me he had a son in a country torn in war... He followed you everywhere and he soon went back home to inform me about you. He asked the Koizumi family to fake his death so he can freely follow you. I may be jealous but he did love you more than me... I believed a complete lie. When you were stolen from him, he searched for you even if he has to work under the enemy to make contact with you. But he failed. He failed! Don't make me become like him! I can't fail to protect and save a person who is very important to me!

(Lights open.)

Darius: (Walks closer to him.) So, I'm asking you instead, shoot me! We are not the right people who can get you out of your forsaken heart! This sacrifice isn't for you or mine. It's for Avalon! Think about her sake, Arthur, so that you can end your battle soon and rest!

Arthur:  No! I won't kill you!!!

Darius: (Points a gun to him.) If you don't kill me, I'll kill you instead. Victor should have killed you soon enough than trying to get you out of that life. You don't actually really deserve salvation, then!

Arthur: Salvation? Please, no... don't do this! Don't stain yourself with blood!

Darius: Begging for your life now?

Arthur: I don't deserve salvation, Darius.

Darius: Victor Kingsley is our father and he begged me to save both of you. As a half brother, this is my sacrifice.

Arthur: Victor... You said Victor is your father?

Darius: (Smirks.) He is our father, Arthur. Both of us just had different mothers. He chose you instead of me...!

Arthur: (Confounded.) I... I don't know what to do! Kill me instead!

Darius: Act like a true assassin, Arthur! That is not what an assassin should be! An assassin holds his emotions! Take this gun and be a true assassin!

Arthur: Darius... Are you sure with this?

(Darius smiles and nods.)

(Takes the gun in Darius's right hand while he is streaked with tears.)

Arthur: Forgive me... (shoots Darius.)

Darius: (Smiles) Thank you, brother...

(sound of a woman coming inside the warehouse and is in shock.)

Scene 18: End Flashback; Avalon's decision

Avalon: (In tears) Darius... thank you... for protecting me... I will forever be in owe with you...

Arthur: I shouldn't have shot him.... I shouldn't have shot him! Forgive me for what I have done... Avalon! (Hugs her) I shouldn't have obeyed him!

Avalon: No, its not your fault, Arthur. If I can see and heard it right, I know who your master is. You've never told your master's gender... Have you seen who your master is in your own eyes?
