RIGHTEOUS DEMON HUNTERS

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. TOMB - NIGHT

In a dingy tomb, dimly lit by guttering torches, a large stone SARCOPHAGUS sits, dominating the center of the room.

CIRCLING CLOSEUP - SARCOPHAGUS

Carved into the stone are magical inscriptions and signs of protection. The lid of the sarcophagus is secured to the floor with thick chains of blackened metal.

Muffled sounds of a struggle occuring outside the chamber. The chains RATTLE, dust falls to the floor. A stifled SCREAM and two THUDS, and sounds of fighting come to an end.

BACK TO SCENE

The doors shake with the impact of a HEAVY THUD, then SPLINTER INWARDS, revealing a large hairy BEAST, blood still dripping from its claws and fangs.

The sound of RAIN drifts in through the open doorway. The chains RATTLE again, spilling more dust.

The BEAST pulls the chains from the floor, snapping them with ease. THUNDER CLAPS as the stone lid cracks and slides off in several pieces.

Weathered hands, adorned with long manicured fingernails grip the sides of the sarcophagus and XIAN DAI-XI sits up.

XIAN DAI-XI

You will pay for keeping me in this prison Cong Da-Shi! You will not be able to stop me this time. Vengeance will be mine!
