BY TYRFREE!!

BK’S FINEST (BROOKLYN KINGS FINEST OR THE FINEST BROOKLYN KING) IS A FUTURISTIC MIXTURE OF SCI-FI AND MARTIAL ARTS ACTION THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE REMIXED GALAXY”©

(A GALAXY MUCH AS OURS ONLY WITH SUBTLE, ALBEIT IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES).

IN THIS CASE, AN ALTERNATE VISION OF THE PLANET EARTH.

THE STORIES DARK OVERTONE, AS WELL AS THE ACTION AND DIALOGUE, COMPLETE WITH A CONTEMPORARY HIP-HOP AND R AND B SCORE MAKE IT A POSSIBLE ADDITION TO YOUNG ADULT PROGRAMMING.

THE STORY IS DESIGNED TO BE A SERIES OF 27 EPISODES.

SYNOPSIS

“CHI” IS THE ENERGY THAT FLOWS THROUGH ALL LIVING THINGS.

IN THE MARTIAL ARTS WORLD, FEATS OF TREMENDOUS POWER ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH PROPER CONCENTRATION AND UTILIZATION OF THE CHI THAT FLOWS THROUGH EACH AND EVERY BEING ON EARTH. IN THIS ALTERNATE VISION…THE EARTH ITSELF IS A LIVING THING, WITH THE CORE SEEN AS A BEATING HEART OF ENERGY WAITING TO BE RELEASED.

THE QUESTION IS POSED… IF CHI IS IN ALL LIVING THINGS, AND CAN BE A SOURCE OF TREMENDOUS POWER, THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIVING EARTH RELEASES ITS OWN CHI?

CATACLYSM.

IN THE EARTH YEAR 2970 A.D. ELECTRICAL STORMS AS WELL AS MAJOR EARTHQUAKES AND TIDAL WAVES RAVAGE THE EARTH.

THE ELECTRICAL STORMS WREAKED HAVOC ON A CIVILIZATION BUILT ON COMPUTERS AND SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT.

THE NUCLEAR MISSILES, THAT WERE TO BE USED AS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER TO STRIFE, ARE ALL DETONATED.

THE GLEAMING CITIES AND SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY DESTROYED.

THE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE IS INCALCULABLE.

FINALLY, AFTER MANY CENTURIES, THE EARTH SETTLED. THE STORMS STOPPED AND THE CRACKED GROUND RELEASED A POWERFUL ENERGY NEVER BEFORE SEEN BY MAN. THIS ENERGY, COUPLED WITH THE RESIDUAL RADIATION FROM NUKES OF TIMES PAST, SPREAD THROUGH OUT THE WORLD. IN THE WATER, EVEN THE AIR.

IN TIME, HUMANOID FORMS MADE AN APPEARANCE, HOWEVER, THESE BEINGS WERE MUTATED AND IMMENSELY STRONG. IT WAS THESE BEINGS THAT SCOURED THE EARTH AND WITH THEIR BARE HANDS, LAID DOWN THE FOUNDATION FOR CIVILIZATION, REPAIRING MANY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WERE ALMOST DESTROYED AND UNCOVERING ONLY SOME OF THE SCIENCE THAT WAS LONG DESTROYED. IN TIME, WHOLE CITES WERE REBUILT, THOUGH WITH ONLY A SHADOW OF THEIR FORMER GLORY. THESE BEINGS, THOUGH MUTATED, WERE KNOWN AS THE FIRST GENERATION OF THE NEW AGE. UNTIL, STRANGELY, THEY DISAPPEARED INTO TIME.

CENTURIES PASS, AND ONCE AGAIN, MAN ROAMS THE EARTH….

……BUT NOT AS BEFORE.

WITH THE CHI OF THE PLANET STILL FLOWING AS POWERFUL AS EVER, MAN IS STRONGER THAN HE HAS EVER BEEN.

THE RESIDUAL SCIENCE OF CENTURIES PAST IS DIRECTLY MELDED WITH A CIVILIZATION THAT WORSHIPS SURVIVAL OF ONLY THE FITTEST.

BARBAROUS CLANS ARE COMMON-PLACE; EACH CLAN PART OF A LARGER GUILD TO SUBJUGATE ANY WHO WOULD GET IN THEIR WAY. ARMED WITH MAKESHIFT WEAPONS AS WELL AS VEHICLES THAT ALLOWED THEM TO MOVE FAR MORE QUICKLY THAN FOOT, THE CLANS WERE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. THEIR VICTIMS WERE THE MANY VILLAGES THAT COVERED PARTS OF THE EARTH.

LAWLESSNESS WENT ON FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL ONE MAN TURNED THE TIDE OF MISFORTUNE.

HIS NAME WAS INISHIN JINZU.

ARMED WITH A BLADE AS BLACK AS NIGHT, AND A LARGE DEMON BY HIS SIDE, THEY CAUSED THE CLANS TO LOOSE MANY MEN.

IN TIME, IT BECAME TOO MANY.

THE CLANS DECIDED TO DO AWAY WITH THIS WOULD BE SAVIOR.

WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PEACEFUL EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE LEADERS OF THE CLANS AND JINZU, TURNED OUT TO BE A TRAP. SINCE PART OF THE AGREEMENT CALLED FOR THE YOUNG WARRIOR TO COME ALONE WITHOUT HIS DEMONIC COMRADE, JINZU WAS ALONE AGAINST 400 WARRIORS.

IT TOOK HIM MANY HOURS, BUT HE SLEW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

THE FEAT LEFT HIM A BROKEN MAN. VOWING TO NEVER TAKE ANOTHER LIFE, HE LEFT HIS GREAT SWORD IN THE BATTLE FIELD TO BE COVERED BY THE SANDS OF TIME..

CALLING UPON A DEBT, OWED TO HIM BY EVERY VILLAGE HE EVER SAVED, JINZU ASKED FOR TWO CHILDREN FROM EACH ONE. EACH CHILD WOULD BE TRAINED TO DEFEND THE LAND FROM ANY AND ALL WHO WOULD PREY ON THE WEAK. FOUNDING THE SCHOOL OF “JINZU-KEN” IN THE LAND OF ASIA EAST, IT WAS THIS SCHOOL THAT PRODUCED THE GREATEST WARRIORS OF THE AGE: THE CYBURAI.

NIGH UNBEATABLE, THE CYBURAI WERE UNIQUE IN THE FACT THAT EACH POSSESSED AT LEAST ONE CYBERNETIC ENHANCEMENT. THEIR WEAPON OF CHOICE WAS THE DARK METAL KATANA, AN UNBREAKABLE BLADE, ABLE TO SLICE THROUGH ANY SUBSTANCE.

EACH BLADE WAS FORGED BY A BEING KNOWN ONLY AS ANTEAOUS.

THE SCHOOL OF JINZU-KEN AND ITS WARRIORS WERE LOCATED IN WHAT USED TO BE MONGOLIA. BECAUSE OF THAT, NO ONE DARED TO TRY TO CONQUER ANY VILLAGE IN THE FAR EAST.

DESPITE WANTING HIS STUDENTS TO BRING PEACE TO THE LANDS, CYBURAI WERE NEVER ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE EAST, FOR REASONS NO ONE BUT JINZU KNEW. DESPITE THIS PECULIAR RULE, WORD OF THE JINZU-KEN SCHOOL AND ITS WARRIORS SPREAD FAR TO THE WEST.

THE STANDARDS OF A WARRIOR WAS EVER MEASURED AGAINST THE CYBURAI, OF ALL THE WARRIORS OF NEW THE AGE, THEY WERE THE FINEST.

WE TAKE A LEAP INTO TIME 150 YEARS LATER.

THE LANDS OF THE NORTH AMERICAS ARE SPLIT INTO DIFFERENT STATES FROM WHAT THEY WERE. NO LONGER ARE THERE UNITED STATES, THERE ARE ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO BE CONQUERED.

THE LANDS OF THE FAR EAST, OF ASIA, ARE DECIMATED.

IN THE NORTH AMERICAS THERE IS A DARK LAND CALLED AVALON.

THE BEING WHO RULES THERE IS A CONQUEROR KNOWN ONLY AS DULAC DRAK’UL, WHO SEEKS TO DESTROY THE LANDS THAT BY AND LARGE OPPOSE HIS RULE. ONCE THIS IS DONE, HE WILL FIND THE LAST CONCENTRATION OF EARTH CHI AND REBUILD THE WORLD IN AN IMAGE THAT ONLY HIS MIND CAN APPRECIATE.

ACCOMPANIED BY HIS POWERFUL LIEUTENANTS, HE COMMANDS AND AN ARMY OF UNDEAD WARRIORS.

EACH ONE, POSSESSING AN INDESTRUCTIBLE BLADE MADE OF DARK METAL.

THE VERY SAME DARK METAL BLADES, ONCE USED BY THE GREAT CYBURAI ORDER.

IT WAS DULAC WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CYBURAI AND THEIR TEACHER, MASTER JINZU.

IT WAS ALSO DULAC WHO USED THEIR WEAPONS AND HIS ARMY TO DECIMATE THE EAST. VILLAGES THAT WERE LONG PROTECTED WERE DESTROYED, ONE BY ONE.

THE CYBURAI, WERE THE ONLY THREAT TO HIS RULE AND WITH THEIR DESTRUCTION, THERE IS NO ONE LEFT TO KEEP HIM FROM HIS DESTINY OF POWER.

WELL, ALMOST NO ONE.

THERE WERE 399 CYBURAI.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS ONE MORE, UNKNOWN TO ANYONE OUTSIDE OF THEIR ORDER.

"400 LIVES TO MATCH THE 400 LOST"

IT WAS THE WAY MASTER JINZU CONCEIVED THE SCHOOL.

FOR THE LAST PUPIL, ONLY THE MOST POWERFUL WOULD DO.

THAT CHILD, WAS A YOUNG MAN CALLED “RAH-SHAUN”.

HE HAILED FROM THE CITY OF NEW BROOKLYN.

IN TITLE AND IN DESTINY, HE WOULD BE THE LAST CYBURAI.

NOW, 150 YEARS LATER, IT IS THIS SAME MAN…

AT THE RIPE AGE OF 135

THE STAR CHEF OF THE RENOWNED EATERY KNOWN AS “JOSCOES FISH AND CHICKEN"

WHO WOULD HAVE THE GREAT CHALLENGE OF SAVING THE EARTH FROM DESTRUCTION .....ONE.....LAST..... TIME.

B.K.’S FINEST 4056 A.D.

SO.....

Originally, I wrote a spec script for this cartoon, exclusively for Cartoon Network.

However, I never sent It.

Instead, I chose to write the entire story myself, with an intent to turn it into a graphic novel. I'm glad i made that decision because it has allowed me to flesh out the story and lore much better than a spec script would have.

The "flavor" of BK'S Finest is "Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai and The Boondocks.

Yeah, that's a hell of a mix isnt it? But with the success of each one of those stories/animation...its a pretty good flavor to go for. But its easy for me to do because Ive BEEN writing that way for many years :) the MAIN thing i want to convey in this series is HEART, SPIRIT and ELECTROMAGNETISM. I know, NOT what you hear everyday..but its what my goal is...

The goal is to show that there is MUCH about this reality that we don't understand or know..and its right in front of us at all times.

To the right? you'll see some of the concept work for the characters themselves. Dexter Soy is the artist here and he does a tremendous job as always.

When will this story see the light of day?

Well that depends.

If some producer comes across this PAGE AND SYNOPSIS and it piques his or her interest, then I'll be glad to pitch the story.

Other than that? This story will be seen when enough money is saved up to get it drawn and lettered.

In between that time, i will continue writing the story..

But the spec script is ALWAYS READY :)

TYR FREE!!!
