13. The Final Battle
Siddhatta sits full lotus floating ABOVE WATER beneath a fuzzy sky. Lightning strikes in front of him with a huge thunder BOOM. Water splashes everywhere.
MARA (O.S.)
NO!
Siddhatta sits motionless.
MARA (O.S.)
I SAID, NO!
Lightning strikes behind Siddhatta with another thunder BOOM. To his right, BOOM, his left, BOOM, in front, BOOM.
MARA (O.S.)
NEVER!
Siddhatta opens his eyes. Mara stands defiantly on the water thirty feet away.
SIDDHATTA
Mara, you will build this house no longer.
MARA
My house will always be my house!
Mara swirls and transforms into a gruesome demon.
MARA
You will get up, Siddhatta, NOW!
Siddhatta rises slowly.
SIDDHATTA
Yes, but only to finish you off. This is the battle I was born to win.
