Time: 2003
Place: Austin, Texas
OPENING SCENE – THE KID GENIUS
Interior – Alexander’s Garage Laboratory – Night
We see a cluttered but brilliant workshop: wires, circuit boards, and a glowing prototype of a sleek suit. Posters of rockets and old race cars cover the walls. In the middle of it all, Alexander Carter, 15, tall and thin with big, curious eyes, works with a soldering iron. He wears headphones, lost in a world of equations and speed.
Narrator (Alexander’s voice-over):
“They say kids like me are supposed to play ball or video games. But me? I like breaking limits. I like speed.”
His fingers dance over a small control board. A hologram of a human figure flashes “Mach 1” across the screen.
SCENE TWO – SCHOOL LIFE
Exterior – Austin High School – Day
Alexander rides his beat-up bike to school, earbuds in. Students laugh, chatter. He’s an outsider, but his eyes are always on the sky.
At the lockers, Maya, 15, warm smile, smart eyes, approaches.
Maya:
“You’re late again. Building another robot?”
Alexander (grinning):
“Not a robot. Something faster.”
Maya:
“Faster than what?”
Alexander:
“Faster than everything.”
They laugh. She’s one of the few who understands him.
SCENE THREE – THE DREAM
Interior – Alexander’s Lab – Night
We see the full suit: a streamlined, lightweight armor with turbines at the calves and a sleek helmet. He calls it March-1 (short for “Mach-One Reactive Kintic Harness”).
Alexander (to himself):
“I built this to prove speed isn’t just for cars or planes. It’s for people willing to risk everything.”
He straps the helmet on. Diagnostics flash across the visor:
“MAX SPEED: Mach 1.0 – Status: Ready.”
He breathes in.
Alexander:
“Let’s run.”
SCENE FOUR – THE FIRST RUN
Exterior – Abandoned Airstrip – Night
Alexander stands at the starting line. The suit hums. He taps his wristpad.
Suit Voice:
“Power at 90%. Caution: structural stress beyond safe limit.”
He smirks.
Alexander:
“I know.”
He takes off. A thunderous sonic boom echoes as he breaks the sound barrier. Dust swirls behind him. His eyes widen in awe.
Alexander (laughing):
“It works! It actually works!”
But then sparks flare. He stumbles, crashes into a haystack, rolling to a stop. He sits up, coughing but smiling.
Alexander:
“Version two needs better brakes…”
SCENE FIVE – THE VILLAIN’S ORIGIN
Interior – Velocity Labs – Day
Across town, a high-tech lab experiments with kinetic energy. Inside, Damian Cross, 17, cocky intern, ignores warnings and rushes an experiment. A bright flash erupts—a kinetic energy chamber explodes, bathing him in shimmering light.
When the smoke clears, Damian stands trembling. His eyes flicker with electricity. He takes one cautious step—then vanishes in a blur, reappearing across the room.
Damian (whispering):
“I’m… fast.”
But unlike Alexander’s engineered speed, Damian’s is raw, natural, unstable.
SCENE SIX – SCHOOL AGAIN
Exterior – Austin High – Day
Alexander and Maya sit on the bleachers at lunch.
Maya:
“You’re distracted. Even more than usual.”
Alexander:
“I’ve been… testing something. Something big.”
Maya:
“You’re going to get yourself hurt.”
Alexander (softly):
“If it means breaking barriers… it’s worth it.”
She touches his hand.
Maya:
“You don’t have to do it alone.”
He looks at her, surprised by the warmth in her eyes.
SCENE SEVEN – FIRST CLASH
Exterior – Downtown Austin – Night
A bank robbery in progress. A blur of red lightning—Damian—darts in and out, grabbing cash faster than security can blink.
Alexander, in his March-1 suit, arrives at sonic speed. He blocks Damian’s path.
Alexander:
“You’re fast. But you’re sloppy.”
Damian smirks, circling him like a predator.
Damian:
“And you’re a kid in a costume. Out of my way.”
They clash. Sonic booms echo between skyscrapers. Sparks fly as Alexander’s engineered speed meets Damian’s raw power. Damian is slightly faster, but lacks control.
Alexander crashes into a car, denting it but bouncing up.
Alexander:
“Okay… you’re good.”
Damian (grinning):
“I’m better.”
With a burst of energy, Damian vanishes, leaving Alexander panting.
SCENE EIGHT – HEART TO HEART
Interior – Alexander’s Lab – Night
Maya finds Alexander bruised, tinkering with his suit.
Maya:
“You’re fighting someone, aren’t you?”
Alexander (sighing):
“He’s faster than me. Stronger too. If I don’t stop him…”
Maya:
“You’re fifteen, Alex. You’re not supposed to fight supervillains.”
Alexander:
“Someone has to.”
She steps closer, wiping grease from his cheek.
Maya:
“Then promise me you’ll come back.”
He looks into her eyes.
Alexander (softly):
“I promise.”
Their hands linger. For the first time, his genius mind quiets—she gives him a reason beyond speed.
SCENE NINE – LEVEL UP
Alexander upgrades the March-1 suit: reinforced stabilizers, Oscide-alloy turbines from old scrap Hari sent him secretly (a nod to previous movies).
Alexander (to himself):
“Version three. Faster. Stronger. This time… I win.”
SCENE TEN – THE SHOWDOWN
Exterior – Colorado River Bridge, Austin – Night
Damian stands on the bridge, holding stolen tech. Sirens wail in the distance.
Damian (to himself):
“They called me nothing. Now they’ll know my name.”
Alexander arrives in a blur of blue lightning.
Alexander:
“This ends tonight.”
Damian smirks.
Damian:
“You’re too slow.”
They explode into motion. Two streaks—one blue, one red—circle the bridge at supersonic speed. Water erupts as shockwaves crash into the river. Cars fly as winds tear across the asphalt.
Alexander:
“You’re hurting people, Damian! You don’t have to!”
Damian (snarling):
“I didn’t ask for this power. But if I have it—I’ll take what’s mine!”
Alexander dives, tackling him mid-run. They tumble across the bridge, fists flying faster than the eye can follow.
Alexander’s suit sparks, turbines overheating. Damian lands a punch that sends Alexander skidding to the edge.
Maya’s voice on comms:
“Alex! Get up! You can do this!”
He groans, stands, eyes blazing.
Alexander:
“Speed isn’t just running away. It’s running toward what matters.”
He dials the suit to maximum. Energy surges through him.
Suit Voice:
“Warning: Mach 1.3 – structural integrity compromised.”
Alexander:
“Do it.”
He launches forward, breaking the sound barrier. The boom knocks Damian off balance. Alexander spins, striking him with a supersonic punch that shatters the stolen tech and knocks Damian into the guardrail.
Damian lies gasping, powers flickering.
Damian (weakly):
“How… did you beat me?”
Alexander:
“Because I’m not just fast. I’m focused.”
He cuffs Damian with high-speed restraints before police arrive.
SCENE ELEVEN – AFTERMATH
Exterior – Hill Overlooking Austin – Dawn
Alexander sits on his bike, suit folded in a backpack. Maya joins him, holding two coffees.
Maya:
“So, the city’s safe again.”
Alexander (smiling):
“For now.”
She hands him a coffee.
Maya:
“And the genius speedster?”
Alexander:
“He’s grounded. Literally.”
They laugh. The sunrise glows over Austin.
Maya:
“You scared me last night.”
Alexander (softly):
“I was scared too. But thinking of you… kept me going.”
She blushes.
Maya:
“You’re impossible, you know that?”
Alexander:
“Maybe. But I’m fast.”
They lean closer. She kisses his cheek.
Maya:
“Just… don’t outrun me.”
Alexander (smiling):
“Never.”
SCENE TWELVE – HARI’S CAMEO
Interior – Secret Agency Office – Day
Hari watches footage of Alexander’s battle on a monitor. He smiles knowingly.
Hari:
“Another one. The Sentinel grows.”
FINAL SCENE
Exterior – Abandoned Airstrip – Night
Alexander stands in his upgraded March-1 suit, helmet under his arm, staring at the runway. The wind whips his hair.
Alexander (voice-over):
“People think speed is about leaving things behind. But real speed… is about catching up. Catching up to who you’re meant to be.”
He pulls on the helmet. The turbines hum.
Alexander:
“Time to run.”
He vanishes in a boom of blue lightning, streaking across the night, a living sonic blur.
