Some experts in thereligious community claim that heis not the Messiah but theAnti-Christ himself embodying thesymbolic traits of a Lord andsavior.

Shaun becomes more interested in the broadcast.

NEWSCASTER JIMNow John, thats just absurd! Howcan a man..no..a God send! Becondemned to the thoughtless drivelof mortals? He represents a changeand presence that we..yes John evenyou..have yearned for. Theopportunties for real peace and fora true chance at Gods embrace arefinally here. Weve made it John!

NEWSCASTER JOHN

Now Jim, we go way backand this..its just absurd that wewould find ourselves in a religiouscommunity that should know toquestion and seek Gods answer inthis through prayer. Im not sayinghes the Anti-Christ Jim but itsimpossible for me to say Hes theChrist until my God has said sowith undeniable confirmation.

SHAUNYeah..and calling John a faithfulmurderer.. I mean sure it mightseem odd that the guy was expectingChrist with a sword..but its notfor those kinds of reasons he putshis faith in. Its not even the

half of Gods original plan. Ithink...I think we just have tobelieve that all of this is inGods plan.

ANGIEWell said..

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAYou come asking about him..because

one of you has seen him. One of youhas begun to unviel the truth ofour world.

Prophetess Zooshada coughs.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADA(stirring tea)

SHAUNwhat happened to -

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAJust be quiet and listen. Im sureyou didnt come all this way tohear yourself talk. I know what youseek.. and have it you will. And

you..Liela..Turn on yourrecorder...

Shaun looks to Liela. He nods to her and she nods back.Liela pulls out a cellphone and presses record.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAThat False Messiah is a ruthlesslying Alien among our people!

Shaun and Liela become disturbed but continue listening.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADA

They arent all the same...thealiens. They were once a peacefulnation. God had his angels watchover them while they learnt Hislaws. They all thrived in visionsand were powerful prophets whoaccepted God. As powerful as theywere Jesus Christ was and still isthe most powerful prophet of usall. They love strongly in theirsociety. Even if its throughprophecy and must wait to meet theywill love that partner forever.They do not ever date! Never losingsight of their destined love..ever.Just looking at another with an eyeof lust or interest is a greatoffense to them and they reactrather strongly.

Shaun looks down and away trying to figure something out.

71/109

CONTINUED: 71.

Liela notices..swallows and focuses on Prophetess Zooshada.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAOur careless habits are beneaththeir near to perfect ways. Manyassumed it was just about our

intellect as to why "life in thegreat myserious galaxy" neverencountered us. No..these beingsfeel. But then..there came a tideamong them. Some believing that ourways were too destructive and thatthe most powerful prophet shouldhave been born as one of them. Thatwe mocked heaven and our freedominto the face of God. We took forgranted a system that forgives andturned it into a system of oursouls bliss. So they..a band of

them...went to search for morereasons to finally condemn us.

Prophetess Zooshada begins to cough.

SHAUN(stands up)

Prophetess!

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADASit down, sit down!

Shaun sits back down.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADA(long sigh)

So they disregarded their laws andleft Gods hedge to come to earth ona mission to rid the universe ofour sin. They visited the nile..andyes..those pyramids were alreadythere....they visitedgethesmane..they visited the tomband then it happened...

Liela becomes frightened.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAThey discovered demons.

Liela lets out a crying shock covering her mouth with herhands.

72/109

CONTINUED: 72.

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAThey listened to their demoniclies. They agreed that this worlddeserved to perish of its sin andin return the aliens will get torule if they sold out on God.

SHAUNAre you saying that aliens-

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADABe quiet boy! Demons had alreadyplagued this world! It is no aliensfault but the fault of our own kindwhich gives them strength. Satanhas a way of drawing evil tohim..even from the farthest regionsof the universe it seems. And soonthey heard rumor of a key. One that

can not only see between heaven andearth. But can unlock it. Yousee..the Anti-Christ. Hes theother key...the key to the abyss.

LIELASo This Key to the abyss.. I mean..what are we supposed to do about itnow?

PROPHETESS ZOOSHADAThe Key to the abyss must bedestroyed....as powerful as it

is..it is still mortal..born onthis very planet. But..the choicebelongs to the Key of heaven.
