Ghede: Guerrier Extraordinaire #8: Pages 3-4
Page 3, 6 Panels- Nebulous Dark area between realms Panel 1-2: Cut to a shot of the Japanese water god as he materialized a few feet away from where he stood. A pearly dark blue smile coming over his face, watching his opponent who, in Panel 2, hurls her Molltach at his chest from which he avoids by materializing once more into mist. KAGU-TSUCHI [translated from Japanese, to Ghede; Panel 1]: I'm not mad enough to show my true physical form here! SOUND EFFECT [Panel 2, along with Kagu-Tsuchi's bellowing laughter]: POOF!... Panel 3-4: At another point of the area with no discernible dimensions, we see Kagu-Tsuchi manifest himself once more in Panel 3. His arms are now placed over his back casually. A look of defiant ambivalence prevalent on his face, as if the outcome has already been viewed and determined. In Panel 4, we see a glowing light show up briefly in the left hand corner of the panel as he speaks. KAGU-TSUCHI [Cont., sly grin; Panel 3]: I have a world to save from its own shallow ignorance. KAGU-TSUCHI [Cont.; Panel 4]: A concept that I doubt a being of your...limited intelligence can truly appreciate. Panel 5: Action shot a few moments later. The layout is pulled out slightly to take in the changed appearance of Ghede's Minaj (a set of four Bolas, all gathered in a straight line) and that of the Japanese water god. We see the deity effortlessly disappear into mist before the weapons could harm. As for the titular heroine, all we hear off-panel is a loud groan of frustration as they crash into the dark floor. Panel 6: Cut to Ghede a split second later. She looks over in the direction of where she last saw the misty clone of Kagu-Tsuchi. Her eyes tilted up slightly in order to address wherever he may have ended up at that point. GHEDE [translated from Japanese; scoffs, to Kagu-Tsuchi]: You think you're the first God who wanted to conquer the meatbags of Earth under the guise of a "Savior Complex?" Page 4, 6 Panels- Nebulous Dark area between realms/Kagu-Tsuchi's Mountaintop Dwelling Panel 1: Cut to a shot of the Bolas in the same place that they landed at back in the second-to-last panel of the previous page. You can see a glow of white light covering each of the 4 spiked balls as our heroine speaks. GHEDE [Cont., Off-Panel]: At least they were good for a... Panel 2-3: Back to the Haitian guerrier moments later. She looks over in the direction of her Minaj just after its transformation. Her eyebrow lifts up in intrigue at the off-panel disturbance. All the while, in Panel 3, we see her Molltach quickly flash back into view, calmly slipping into the opened palm of Ghede's left hand. GHEDE [intrigued; Panel 2]: Laugh! Panel 4-5: In Panel 4, a few moments pass and we follow Ghede (via a set of three images of her which drift downstage like shadows) as she makes her way cautiously in the direction of the beam of light as it shines up around the left side of the panel view. She has no idea precisely what is inside the hole at this point. In Panel 5, our titular heroine stops and takes a proper look inside the area. GHEDE [holding back a general degree of annoyance; Panel 4, second shadow]: Another fucking hole... GHEDE [Cont., sarcastic; Panel 4, third shadow]: Let's see what fresh hell is in this one! GHEDE [confused, Panel 5]: It's... Panel 6: Cut to a shot from within the viewpoint of the broken hole. From within the jagged edge lined area, which covers a little area of the center of the panel view, we see nothing but a wooden floor like one you'd find at a cabin. GHEDE [Off-Panel]: A floor?
