RATED M

Page 1

1/ The moon, high up in the sky, shining and full.

BASTET: Since I’m about to kill you…
KHONSHU: So you think.
BASTET: …
BASTET: Do you remember the day we first met?

2/ The surface of the Moon. On the left half of our view, the Moon is lit. On the right half is the dark side of the Moon.

BASTET: When the Moon made its first rotation. You were there. Clawing your way out of the shadows.
KHONSHU: I prefer… not to think about it.

3/ Same view. But a being of darkness, Khonshu’s shape, covered in dust, stands on the dark side. On the light side, a being made of light, Bastet’s shape, covered in dust, stands. They are both holding out an arm, reaching toward each other. Khonshu has red, glowing eyes. Bastet has blue, glowing eyes.

BASTET: On that day…
KHONSHU: Oh yes, I remember.

4/ Close up on their hands. Their fingers are touching. Light and darkness meeting for the first time.

BASTET: I thought we would last forever.

Page 2

1/Splash Page/ Moon Knight ripping White Cat’s jaw open with his bare hands. The jaw is literally ripping off of her head, her entire skull coming apart. He’s glaring, concentrated. White Cat’s eyes are wide. Blood is spurting out.

KHONSHU: Alas. So did I.
SFX: RAAKK
CAPTION(Moon Knight): Marlene.
SFX: GSSHHKT

Page 3

1/ Overhead view. Moon Knight looking up as White Cat falls at his feet, her jaw ripped apart.

MOON KNIGHT: I won’t fail you.

2/ Side view of Marlene looking over the ledge, up and OP (at Khonshu, no doubt).

MARLENE: Jean Paul…

3/ Same shot, but Jean Paul standing behind her now.

JEAN PAUL: Yes?
MARLENE: He didn’t intend to go this far. To hurt me.
JEAN PAUL: I believe so.

Page 4

1/ Moon Knight looking down as White Cat grabs his ankle.

WHITE CAT: HSSSSSHH

2/ White Cat’s face, her jaw bone slowly coming back together, her broken head fixing itself.

WHITE CAT: FFFFHHHHVVV LRRRVVVSSSSS LFFFTTT!!!

3/ Front view of Marlene turned around, away from the ledge.

MARLENE: Jesus, that thing freaks me out.
JEAN PAUL: The intended effect, I suppose. We both know he can handle it.
MARLENE: If it only died once, I’d agree. But he’s already killed it a few times.

4/ Marlene looking up at Jean Paul.

MARLENE: Let’s get out of here. Back to the shop.

5/ Jean Paul looking at Marlene oddly, Rob looking on in the background.

MARLENE: He can handle it maybe two more times. Three if he’s lucky. He’s running out of steam. I could tell, looking at him.
MARLENE: I have an idea.

Page 5

1/ Bastet and Khonshu looking down as Moon Knight is fighting White Cat below.

KHONSHU: I’m well aware.

KHONSHU: Extensions of myself. They can interfere all they want.

3/ Bastet’s face, snarling with the fury of a Goddess.

KHONSHU(OP): We did. I lied.
KHONSHU(OP): Oh, darling. If THAT infuriates you, just wait.

4/ Khonshu’s face, his eyes glowing behind the black hood.

KHONSHU: You have NO IDEA how far I’m willing to go for the sake of self-preservation.

KHONSHU: I chose HIM.
KHONSHU: Don’t put anything past me.

Page 12

2/ Side view of Bastet shoving her hand through Khonshu’s chest. But it isn’t a violent image, her hand is literally passing through him, like a ghost.

BASTET: RAWRRR!!
KHONSHU: Dear, we both know that isn’t going to work until one of our avatars is dead.

3/ Khonshu tilting his head and looking at Bastet.

KHONSHU: What was it you said? Nine lives against my ONE?
KHONSHU: It’s too bad your avatar was so inexperienced and… well… horrible.

4/ Marlene is helping Moon Knight stand up. Jean Paul is assisting, and Rob is behind them, keeping an eye on White Cat. They’re headed for the restaurant to this panel’s right.

MARLENE: Listen, Marc, I know that none of that was your fault…

3/ The entire area, Moon Knight, Marlene, Jean Paul, and Rob are 10 feet away from the car and White Cat, walking toward Jean Paul’s restaurant, about to go inside.

WHITE CAT: HHHHHHHHHHHWWWRRRR!!!!

Page 15

Page 17

MOON KNIGHT: You couldn’t accept that I won what I own fair and square.

2/ White Cat shouting.

WHITE CAT: YOU STOLE IT FROM ME! YOU TRICKED ME INTO THAT AGREEMENT! YOU--

3/ Moon Knight, glaring.

MOON KNIGHT: Left you. We had thousands of years.
MOON KNIGHT: We grew ancient together. We became legends.
MOON KNIGHT: I moved on and took what had become mine through my own work. Just because it started out as yours doesn’t mean anything.

4/ The two of them, still in that same pose.

WHITE CAT: You stole the Moon from me. MY birthright! Just because you had more followers, that gave you NO RIGHT TO--
MOON KNIGHT: No, I earned it, when I became the stronger God.
MOON KNIGHT: I may have weakened over the years, you may have grown stronger, but I found my perfect avatar.

5/ White Cat, snarling, raising her other claw.

MOON KNIGHT: It was worth it. All those years, rotting in pain due my name’s obscurity. He finished that. He saved me. He became my power source. My warrior priest.

Page 20

MOON KNIGHT: And I will ensure that in the long run, nothing will ever change that.
MOON KNIGHT: Even if he hates me now. Even if he rejects me.

2/ The entire room. White Cat has fallen onto her chest. Moon Knight stands over her. Khonshu is rising out of Moon Knight. Bastet is rising out of White Cat.

KHONSHU: Just like you hate me. Just like the Gods rejected me.

EPILOGUE

@primepower53: :D

The moon is broken(and by that I mean Marc Spector totally ditched Khonshu). Khonshu needs more than one avatar. There's gonna be more angry Egyptian Gods and other stuff later. Glad you liked it!
