PLAN B

The ground remembers what made him

Carbon Pressure emerges onto the streets
Carbon Pressure has waited long enough.
KRRKK
Diamond Man stands alone, TB behind him
Stay here, kid. This one’s mine.
Carbon Pressure charges, smashing the street
BOOOM!
Diamond Man punches Carbon Pressure
You’re still just carbon, boy. I MADE you.
CP stomp sends Diamond Man flying
KRAKK!
Every diamond was once just coal under pressure.
Diamond Man down, Gem watches from above
Finish him.
The killing blow. Everything he’d survived… for nothing.
Flashback to forming under pressure
He remembered the crushing dark. The heat. The weight of a world trying to break him.
And he remembered what it made.
Diamond Man rises, blazing with light
You made me stronger.
Diamond Man's ultimate punch
KRAKOOM!
Carbon Pressure cracking, falling
For the first time… fear.
Gem retreats into the shadows
This isn’t over, Diamond Man.
Dawn rises on Diamond Man
The pressure that tried to break him… forged him.
Diamond Man will return.
RENDERING PANELS…
