CUT A FEW SECONDS BACK INTO THE PAST:
INT. ROOM IN FRONT OF BIG GUN CONTROL ROOM
STEX G 5 looking through the scope of the riffle firing
around the monolithic barrier. Only his riffle and hand are
exposed.
STEX G 5
Alright be over in a sec.
STEX G 5 calmly walks back over there, past as many friendly
dead as alive, and past a variety of large spike shrapnel,
camera focusing on his legs from the side, as another STEX
moves in to take over his position.
STEX G 5 (CONT'D)
Yeah what is the problem.
We see a still bloody wound beginning to heal itself on G
torso.
STEX G 2 (STILL SPEAKER)
I can't get authority back, a
secondary command console is
logging in as a supreme, and is
using some trick to override us.
STEX G 5
Well we are all fucked, or the
Leviathan that is.
STEX G 2 looks over at STEX G 5 and G 5 keeps on looking at
him the same.
STEX G 2
I thought you knew about computers.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
STEX G 5
Not more than any common day
person,
I just read the briefing.
STEX G 2
Yeah I must have skipped over that
part.
COMPUTER
Loading shell into shaft,
capacitors
charged, firing in 10,-
The color on the screen changes slightly and is visible on
STEX G 2's helmet.
COMPUTER (CONT'D)
Disabling big gun firing mechanism.
STEX G 2 AND G 5
Huh!?
STEX G 2 and STEX G 5 gives a great sigh of relief and
swivels in his chair, seeming very tired.
ARIES (VO)
Hey boys forget about the secondary
console it's secure. The second
wave is coming up to relieve you.
STEX G 5
Good, we've been taking some pretty
heavy fire, wasn't sure how long we
could hold out.
CUT TO:
(Going Up the Stairs)
INT. REBEL SKY COMMAND CENTER
First person of Aries. Aries is viewing two panels, one the
fighting in the hallway, the other following the team leader
of the 2nd wave's helmet cam.
ARIES
Nor was I, but they will be up
there soon, they are running past
the 14th floor now.
Pan camera to the right to show the stairwell.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
INT. BIG GUN STAIRWELL
The first STEX is running up riffle loosely held in the
right hand, moving both arms pendularly. Jumping up half
staircase after half staircase.
Change levels according to the time it takes to get to top.
In the view of the lead STEX, we see probes flying around
keeping up with the STEX, we also see after going up every
floor a probe quickly fly up through the well.
Split vision into boxes which each have a camera which
swings to view the back of the assistants watching each and
every probe. Most of them are watching closed doors, the
others are moving their probes up though the wells, 2 others
are guiding probes just a few meters ahead of the group on
the stairwell, and 1 other is watching way high up in the
stairs, patrolling up and down from the very top to where
the highest other probe is.
Camera stops watching 1 door. The door opens.
CUT TO:
INT. REBEL SKY COMMAND CENTER AND INT. BIG GUN STAIRWELL
SKY ASSISTANT G 3
We have activity, door level 23
opened.
Quick pan to Aries.
ARIES
We got activity at level 23, rear
STEX give cover.
Swing camera very quickly to Aries's view of a probe
watching the rear STEX aiming their guns up through the well,
aiming at the 23 displayed by their interface.
Swing back to sky assistant G 3-
SKY ASSISTANT G 3
They are dropping some kind of ball
down the stairs.
Sky Assistant G 3 swings the probe down in pursuit.
CUT TO:
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
INT. BIG GUN STAIRWELL
Show the probe as it begins to move following this weird
looking metal medicine ball, that is not perfectly rounded,
rather it has strange metal ridges and other nudges and
stuff.
Pursue both probe and ball capturing the very human movement
of the probe and the robotic motion of the ball as it shifts
its momentum to turn in a perfect semicircle around the flat
part of the stairwell.
SKY ASSISTANT G 3
It is changing direction on its
own,
it is smart.
SKY SUBCOMMANDER G
Shit group leader, watch out for
this ball, it could be dangerous.
STEX LEADER
Ok I will be on my guard.
SKY SUBCOMMANDER G
No I want you to fucking blast this
ball to hell the first second you
see it, STOP Right here.
CUT BACK TO:
STEX Leader is silent in nervousness. STEX Leader is waiting
at a flat point next to no door, and adjacent to the stairs
going up. STEX Leader is afraid as to what this ball is
going to do to him.
The ball rolls down the stairs, and begins to turn towards
him. STEX Leader has already trained his riffle on it.
Camera swings out to the side, so that both man and ball are
visible and so are other STEX waiting on the stairs riffles
readied.
Cut to first person, and slow time almost to a stop as he
begins to shoots the ball. The ball explodes.
Cut to side view as the pulse destroys part of the stairwell,
and knocks him into the air and flush against the wall at
his back. The riffle is flung into the wall also separated
from his hand.
Time becomes normal as he recoils and falls into the hole
left by the explosion.
His fall is softened by the line of STEX below.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
SKY SUBCOMMANDER G (CONT'D)
Hurry up and jump the hole, they
are accelerating their attack on
the control room!
Show the new lead STEX leap to the handrail and bring
himself on the other part of the spiraling staircase
separated by the hole the ball made.
CUT TO:
INT. BIG GUN CONTROL ROOM
STEX G 5 is taking heavy fire and is firing his gun
violently at the enemy.
Cut to first person as we see STEX G 5's ammo go down to the
last bullet. STEX G 5 jumps back to the safety of the
control room.
STEX G 5
Cover for me.
Another STEX goes to his side of the metal barrier and
begins shooting.
STEX G 5 goes to 1 of his dead comrades and removes the clip
from the gun. STEX G 5 places the clip in the loading
section of his belt. The bullets begin to automatically load
into his belt and the number for his ammo becomes bold and
changes color, as it very quickly increases from 28 to 291.
He removes the clip from his comrade and just as he is
getting up.
STEX G 5 makes a hellish scream, as the EKG on one of his
unit is highlighted in her death. STEX G 5 looks down at his
thigh and sees blood dripping down his suit as a huge spike
is lodged in his thigh.
STEX SUIT (NOT HEARD)
Cutting off pain receptors at
injury site.
STEX G 5 takes out the Spike. Then he gets up and takes his
post as most people here are either dead or very seriously
injured.
STEX G 5 begins to fire fully automatically at the enemy.
CUT TO:
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
INT. BIG GUN STAIRWELL
ARIES (VO)
Shit they are in trouble! double
time people!!
The 2nd wave reinforcements absolutely sprint up the last
few flights of stairs they reach the top quickly.
The new leader runs past the door, and puts his back away
from the door and towards the opposite wall. His right hand
is holding the riffle up at his side, as his left fist
viciously pounds the door in, his super STEX strength dents
the door and breaks the lock in half.
INT. BIG GUN HALLWAYS
He turns as the camera cuts and he puts his riffle to his
shoulder and instantly charges into the room firing at the
enemy, he sidesteps to the right, as the other STEX pass out
the door and begin to spread out in the network of hallways.
They all continue down one hallway guns level and against
the soldiers these STEX sprint down the hallway to support
their comrades.
CUT TO:
(Holding the Big Gun Command Room)
Rewind to just after or around 30 seconds after Preventing
the Big Gun From Going Off.
INT. BIG GUN CONTROL ROOM
Two grenades come rolling down the hallway, metal barriers
now rising to prevent the two sliding grenades from entering
the room, the explosive grenades upon impacting the still
rising barriers explode. As the barriers rise still further,
there is a huge chunk blown out of it by the explosion.
View the hallway from behind the shoulder of STEX G 5, as he
is firing to the left, as his friend fires to the right, as
two enemy STEX come out and throw two grenades. The one on
the left is shot dead, while the one on the right has only
an arm injury.
The right rebel STEX on the right jumps out of the way of
where the grenade is coming in from.
STEX G 5 turns his riffle around and bats the grenade, it
devastates his gun, he drops it and jumps back into the room.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
The other STEX is defiantly killed by the grenade as he is
being hit by many huge stakes, slow down time as we view
three stakes penetrating his body and going through it.
Swing camera to show one of the stakes poke halfway into
STEX G 2's neck.
He is choking in real time on his blood, but he is still
able to talk.
STEX G 5 runs and picks up a riffle and attaches the clip
from his belt to his new gun.
STEX G 5 looks around and everybody else but him and STEX G 2
are dead.
STEX G 5 goes to his old left side only to see 4 Western
STEX running at him side by side. He guns the first one on
the right down. He runs into the cover of the metal object
that came out of the floor and puts his back to it.
STEX G 5 turns and fires out of the right side killing the
one on the right.
STEX G 5 goes back and fires killing the one on the left,
who hits STEX G 5 square in the shoulder.
STEX G 5 reels in pain. We hear the 2nd to last STEX hit the
ground, despite the music.
STEX G 5
Come on 2, FIGHT!
STEX G 5 looks out the right side and sees nothing. Camera
moves from nothing to the left to show The enemy STEX walks
right in front of him and shoots STEX G 5 just as he turns
back towards where he is defending from.
The last enemy STEX turns his head just as the injured STEX
G 2 turns around to fire upon him.
Gunshots in the background as the 2nd force fires upon the
enemy.
The last enemy STEX manages to aim his riffle. He shoots
STEX G 2 before he can fire his riffle and before his riffle
hits the ground.
Camera is right behind STEX G 2 and when the back of STEX G
head explodes camera becomes covered in red blood.
The enemy STEX leaves his riffle and runs and gets on the
console from our left. He sits down in the chair and begins
typing.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
Camera moves in a liner fashion back down the hallway as
time moves in a linear fashion forwards as the sprinting
Rebel STEX are running down the hallway killing the last of
the enemy STEX, except for the last one at the console
restarting the big gun.
They sprint into the room, with the camera looking to the
side, as he is setting the explosive to blow up the entire
console.
Rebel STEX get past the barrier and train their riffles on
the last STEX's head.
The last STEX press a button he is holding and blows him and
the entire console up.
The 2 STEX still in the room are flung out by the shockwave.
SPACE COMMANDER G
The gun is going active, you have
to get to the tertiary console to
stop it.
STEX G2 2
Let's move people.
He says as he gets up and runs back down the hallway.
INT. BIG GUN HALLWAYS
SPACE COMMANDER G
The Leviathan cannot take but a
couple hits before it is seriously
damaged. TRIPLE TIME PEOPLE! I am
sending another squadron to come in
from the outside, they will get
there just after you will.
They begin running faster.
They get to the stairwell.
INT. BIG GUN STAIRWELL
SPACE COMMANDER G
Set up a rappelling system.
The first 2 STEX back, walked to opposite sides to hang a
rope across the rails and attach A 3rd over the horizontal 1.
Cut to a view directly over the hole, as the ropes fall
great distances.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
They climb up on the rails. The one near the door jumps
downward attaching a special self attaching rappelling
device, attached to his suit, on both ropes.
The STEX fall down narrowly avoiding both sides, because
they suit automatically changes the friction and activates
rockets to keep himself snug in the well.
They fall with the acceleration of free fall and then his
suit decelerates him as they approach the desired level.
STEX G2 2 stands on the rail and tries to detach his thing,
when the next STEX come flying down, on him. STEX G2 2 gets
the rappelling off just as his friend rams into him, STEX G2
is pushed back first down a flight of stairs until he hits
the rail and falls down to the next set of stairs feet first,
when STEX G2 2 rolls to the right onto the flat part. STEX G2
stops by hitting the wall.
STEX G2 2 gets up and shakes his head a couple times and
runs back up the stairs, and through the door, before 1 of
the rappelling STEX, STEX G2 2 is about the 5th in.
INT. BIG GUN HALLWAYS
There is much fighting. STEX G2 2 begins to sprint down the
hallway, until he catches up to the battle.
STEX G2 2 gets his back against the wall and shoots at some
enemy flanking their position.
SPACE COMMANDER G
Damn the big gun just launched
another shell into us, we can only
take one more.
STEX G2 3
Let's charge them.
OTHER STEX
Wait for a couple more then we
surprise them.
A couple more Rebel STEX come just in time to rush the
position with the other 4. They charge in and take out the
much less heavily guarded room.
They kill the guards and the experienced naked operator and
he goes to the computer.
COMPUTER
Launch in 15 seconds.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
OTHER STEX
Hurry before the next launch, plug
in.
STEX G2 2 puts his data port in, just 8 seconds before
launch. He looks up at the screen along with the others to
see what happens.
CUT TO:
EXT. BIG GUN
Fires in real time, hear it crack the air, then the sucking
in from the evacuated barrel, then the barrel re-closes.
ZOOM OUT OF VIDEO IN CORNER OF COMMAND CENTER:
INT. REBEL SKY COMMAND CENTER
SPECILIST 4
I just hacked the computer and set
it to a much lesser launch velocity,
at it's current velocity, it should
not even get to the hull.
ZEUS
Thank god. Change main view to
external on the Leviathan.
CUT TO MAIN
SCREEN:
SPC. LEVIATHAN
We see the shell coming at the ship slower and slower, it
stops and is pulled down again by the force of gravity.

facility supported by over 50 STEX, everything US in their
way dies.
ZEUS
Universal com, launch the third
wave.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
Everybody is cheering. Zeus's, Athena's, Persephone, and
Artemis's helmet comes on and they is shot down into the
waiting Whale class transport.
CUT TO:
INT. BIG GUN TERTIARY CONTROL ROOM
People cheering cheering.
OTHER LANCE LEADER
Lower you weapons, we are friends.
STEX G2 3
Ok commander, do you recommend we
post a lance of men to guard the
console, and send out the rest to
comb through the gun and clean out
any US forces still left.
SPACE COMMANDER G
I want you to do exactly that.
Lance G2 and G3 you are now lance 1
and are guarding the console.
STEX G2 2
Yes sir.
SPACE COMMANDER G
The rest of you will be guided by
the assistants.
CUT TO:
EXT. WESTERN STRONG POINT
Show three dolphin class transports hovering/flying over
firing upon enemy BiMAVs, as lasers from the Leviathan chop
them up.
BiMAVs come up over the horizon and charge the dying group
of Western soldiers.
The rebel BiMAV lance marches right over their dead bodies
on their way to the next point now being fired upon by the
transports.
CUT TO:
EXT. NO MANS' LAND
No Man's Land is now Rebel territory as there are 48 STEX
and 2 medium BiMAVs walking across there firing upon some
far off tanks.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
They take out the tanks with minimal casualties.
The group runs towards the rebel strong point.
CUT TO:
EXT. REBEL STRONG POINT
Group of BiMAVs running.
They kill a small group of the enemy and then walk towards
the group from no mans' land.
ATHENA (VO)
The third wave is the bulk of the
invasion, and consists of 200 two-
way whale class transports, capable
of bringing the rest of the 40,000
STEX troops, 760 BiMAVs, 240 tanks,
and 1,200 light to medium support
vehicles. These transports are very
vulnerable to any fire, and have
little external defenses.
A transport lands between them, the lowering ramp of the
whale, pushes the frame of a dead mini-BiMAV into the ground.
very heavy BiMAVs stroll out of the transport. And out
come a full lance of mini-BiMAVs, trionyx tanks, and
porcupines.
Eventually a special heavily armored vehicle comes out
looking like a dark metal 8 meter X 20 meter X 5 meter RV.
Zeus, Artemis, Athena, and Persephone all walk towards the
Land Command Vehicle(LCV).
The door opens for them and he jumps on still in STEX.
They sits down at the command computer.
ARIES
It looks like we are just mopping
up from here on out.
ZEUS
It sure does, check up on the
forces combing from the strong
point, watch for aerial or land
vehicles, they still might have
something up their sleeves.
INT. REBEL SKY COMMAND CENTER
Hermes looks over at the main screen now dominated by green.
(Second Wave In Get Your Gun)
ZEUS
We're in people. We are on Earth.
CUT TO:
THE BAYOU
EXT. GROUND NEAR I-10 POWER STATION
A bunch of US STEX standing holding riffles, guarding the
station.
A few military vehicles are parked on an eddy just outside
the highway.
A quad of BiMAVs are crouched in relaxation mode.
BiMAVs stand in combat mode as STEX begin to run around like
ants of a disturbed pile.
All the STEX and the 4 BiMAVs begin to run away from the
station.
BOOM!!! Synchronous space based artillery fire destroys all
but 1/3 of the STEX and all but one of the BiMAVs. The
explosion forms a doughnut, sparing the enclosed power relay
station, and the interstate.
A few seconds later 4 small dolphin transports slow down to
drop a quad of medium BiMAVs onto the cratered ground around
the power station.
The transports are holding the BiMAVs half in their hallow
bottomless bay, with the crouched legs and lower torso
coming out the bottom.
The transports decelerate continuously firing multiple
medium to light weapons. They land upon the BiMAVs legs then
release the BiMAVs and fly away, still firing.
BiMAVs get up.
SKY SQUAD COMMADER
Hit the BiMAV hard!
The Rebel BiMAVs turns to the only surviving BiMAV and pound
the living shit out of it, then the closest BiMAV walks up
to it and pounds it some more.
of the other BiMAVs chase after the once fleeing STEX into
the Bayuo.
The last BiMAV is walking to the maglev interstate,
patrolling for any hostiles.
(The Bayou)
Cut back to the two BiMAVs as they run down and kill the
STEX fleeing into the marshy terrain-
SKY SQUAD COMMANDER
HEY stop running in, hot step back
to stable terrain.
BIMAV 3
Ok.
BiMAV 3 slows down but not before it gets its right leg knee
deep in mud.
BIMAV 3
Shit I'm stuck, what is this shit.
SKY SQUAD COMMANDER
It's mud, god damn mud, you see a
lot of it on Earth.
BIMAV 3
Well how the fuck do I get out of
it.
SKY SQUAD COMMANDER
Just step back, try to get good
footing.
BiMAV 3 tries to get his leg out of the mud but it is stuck,
and he slips and falls onto his back, the arms stabilize the
landing.
The machine gun on BiMAV 3's head turns to fire at a unit of
STEX now harassing and trying to lob a package onto the
BiMAV.
BIMAV 3
God damn ugly ass Earthlings get
some fucking GenMods.
SKY SQUAD COMMANDER
BiMAV 2, and BiMAV 4 get your ass
over to BiMAV 3, he is stuck.
BIMAV 2
Yes sir on my way.
SKY SQUAD COMMANDER
Launch a cable on BiMAV 3 before it
sinks any farther.
BiMAV 2 now running.

stable ground as it leans back, slips on the ground.
BIMAV 2
Comp deploy spikes.
Enemy STEX come out of a nearby building.
BiMAV 1's machine gun begins to turn in engagement.

Show the 1st person view of a separate STEX still inside the
BiMAVs belly, as it crouches and the bay opens.
The quad of STEX jump out.
STEX 4 1
Your good to go.
BiMAV 4 gets up and walks forward a bit, and turns to look
around scanning for bogies.
Quad 4 meets up with quad 1, already near the door.
STEX 1 1
Probes have gone in, just a few
STEX to take out.
(The Bayou)
SKY SQUAD COMMANDER

CUT TO:
EXT. I-10
Mag-interstate, vehicles driving on wheels begin to levitate
and take off.
Slowly swing camera to above the road to a birds eye view.
When Zeus's LCV flies to center camera.
Stop time.
INT. LCV
Zoom directly into the LCV and rotate camera to fill the
screen with Zeus's interface, east to west on the screen, on
the giant road map of the continental United States, with
various points of interest and both good and bad troop
movements.
Camera pans to show that-
Zeus still in his helmet-less STEX isn't looking at the big
map like we are meant to believe, he is looking above that
where Hermes' face dominates a small monitor.
(The Bayou)
HERMES
The eastern fleet is still not
strong enough to dominate western
waters, they still are going to
provide support to us when we reach
the eastern sea board.
ZEUS
How much?
HERMES
As much as they can, with the
Leviathan, it will be enough to
hold back western destroyer based
sea to land artillery, which is
what we need.
ZEUS
Ok give my thanks to the new
Supreme Eastern Commander, and try
to set up a encoded hotline between us.
HERMES
Ahh more tasks to the me, ok talk
to you later.
She closes the channel as Zeus looks over at the interstate.
RANDOM REBEL BIMAV GROUP LEADER
Commander 3, I have taken power
point 8, I already turned it on.
ZEUS
Good, get to the highway when your
done, your pick up group will be
waiting for you.
RANDOM REBEL BIMAV GROUP LEADER
Yes sir.
His video box disappears.
