EXT. I-10 OVER MISSISSIPPI
The convoy just gets onto the bridge to move across the
Mississippi.
Aerial box comes up to show the I-10 bridge falling, the
vehicles go flying all over the place into the water and
stuff.
CUT TO:
INT. LCV
Zeus presses universal com-
ZEUS (UNIVERSAL COM)
SHIT I-10 bridge has fallen, repeat
I-10 bridge has fallen. All forces
activate predefined deceleration.
releases the button and looks up to a currently black monitor-
ZEUS
Hermes, you watching this.
Hermes appears on the monitor-
(The Bayou)
HERMES
Yes, it would appear that they are
trying to hold us off at the river.
ZEUS
Should I divert through multiple
bridges.
HERMES
No, they are already compromised.
ZEUS
How do you know.
HERMES
They are trying to hold us off at
the Mississippi. I'm sure the seals
have already planted explosives at
all of the bridges from the gulf to,
well above the State of Mississippi.
ZEUS
Well what are we going to do, the
East is not going to give us any
naval support.
HERMES
Hmm... we are going to have to have
BiMAVs ford the river and get a
bridge for the denser vehicles.
ZEUS
That's it.
INT. LEVIATHAN COMMAND CENTER
Hermes pulls all of his subcommanders into a meeting in
front of him-
HERMES
Look over aerial intelligence and
visual data to locate all ferry
boats or any seaworthy vessel in
the region, we are going to cross
this water on a bridge built of
boats since the West cut the roads.
CUT TO:
INT. COMMAND LCV
ZEUS
Hermes, Athena found a point on the
mississippi, where the water is-
(The Bayou)
Zeus uses the computer interface to determine the distance.
HERMES
We could build a bridge, where is
this place.
ZEUS
I'll send up the coordinates, wait
I can't.
HERMES
Just tell me them.
ZEUS
by 14"65'43.474103
HERMES
You could have just told me the
french quarter.
ZEUS
The what.
HERMES
Don't worry about it you've been in
space your whole life.
ZEUS
Do you want me to make the
universal com, or should the
enlightened one do that.
HERMES
aheh, No go ahead.
ZEUS (UNIVERSAL COM)
All units move to the french
quarter, we are fording BiMAVs and
building a bridge out of boats for
the heavy vehicles.
Zeus blocks the transmission.
ZEUS
Computer divert all questioners to
leviathan command.
COMPUTER
Beep.
A thousand questioners pop because nobody knows where it is.
(The Bayou)
INT. LCV
ZEUS
Alright subcommander, I need you to
find as many boats as possible and
move them to the ferrying location.
The thousand questioners come up in front of Hermes, they
cover his vision, before the computer automatically
reallocates them to a corner.
CUT TO:
EXT. MISSISSIPPI
Tanks and Porcupines are driving over a bridge. A bunch are
on either side.
EXT. UNDER WATER IN VIEW OF RADAR
BiMAVs are crossing by walking underwater. Cylinders are
dotted around where they are passing.
BIMAV 5
What are these giant cylinders
doing in the middle of the river.
SUBCOMMANDRER 4
Artemis what are the cylinders in
the water.
ARTEMIS
Oh God, Zeus are those ground
consuming drill.
Enemy BiMAVs are coming from all over.
BIMAV 5
Holy shit BiMAVs coming from holes
all over.
All the BiMAVs underwater are swarmed by close range plasma.
ZEUS (VO)
So the restriction on refining the
crust of the Earth is lifted.
Hermes its time we drop down drills
of our own.
BiMAV 5 is killed. BiMAVs still fighting.
CUT TO:
(The Bayou)
EXT. SPACE AROUND LEVIATHAN
Drills are dropping from all over the bottom of the
Leviathan.
HERMES (VO)
I'll contact the Prime Minister of
the East immediately. Drills are
dropping as we speak.
Athena's command screen with red dots littering underneath
the Mississippi.
ATHENA
Our forces are split in half.
They've divided us perfectly.
There's going to be thousands of
them pouring through those holes
we've got to retreat on both fronts
away from these holes.
PERSEPHONE
But there may be other holes where
we retreat.
ZEUS
We'll retreat in a direction they
don't expect. Make it 30 degrees
north from the lines of latitude on
the Western front. Make the Eastern
front move along the Mississippi
until we can rendezvous with them.
CUT TO:
EXT. SPACE
Drills are starting to burn as they enter the atmosphere.
CUT TO:
EXT. JUST ABOVE THE EARTH
Drill's parachutes open up. Drills land front first into the
ground and go underground.
CUT TO:
EXT. FRENCH QUARTER, NEW ORLEANS
BiMAVs on on the New Orleans shore are running away.
CUT TO:
(The Bayou)
EXT. SHORE ACROSS FROM FRENCH QUARTER
BiMAVs on the opposite shore are running away. BiMAVs start
coming out of holes to cut off Rebel BiMAVs.
BIMAV 6
Shit they're everywhere.
INT. LCV
ZEUS
Concentrate space support on this
side of the river.
ARTEMIS
But what about the other side?
ZEUS
Artemis just look at the red dots,
we need to win where we can for now.
ZEUS
We've got to get out of here too
evacuate command center to BiMAVs.
EXT. AROUND LCV
BiMAVs walk up to the command center as Zeus, Athena,
Artemis, Persephone, and the driver run into their insides.
BiMAVs start coming out of the ground around them.
ZEUS
Hermes protect us until we get back
to the main group.
HERMES
Here it comes.
Fire rains from the sky as the BiMAVs make their way back to
the core concentration fighting overwhelming odds.
Zeus looks at his command screen as he zooms into what is
happening on the other side of the river. Red dots are
converging from all sides much worse than the the Eastern
side of the river where Zeus is.
ZOOM INTO
SCREEN:
The BiMAVs are concentrated in one location in New Orleans.
As they become surrounded by BiMAVs, and are being attacked
by STEX lobbing explosives blowing the legs off the BiMAVs.
(The Bayou)
BIMAV 7
Where's our fucking air support,
are you just leaving us to die up
there.
INT. SKY COMMAND IN BIMAV
ZEUS
Keep fighting soldiers it'll come
soon.
Zeus closes the command screen.
ZEUS
Girls can we save them.
PERSEPHONE
No you already know the answer to
that one, they are just casualties
of war.
ZEUS
DAMNIT!!
ATHENA
We'll survive this though and with
the 2/3 of our forces on this side
of the river and with what is being
pumped out of the ground here and
Eurasia-Africa-Australia-Antarctica
we will end the war.
ZEUS
Yes but at what cost?
PERSEPHONE
Around 300,000 lives.
ZOOM INTO
COMMAND SCREEN:
Still in command interface show green dots being produced in
the Western US and Mexico and red dots being produced from
the ground in the Eastern US. Some of the red dots die due
to space support.
Zoom into Green dots retreat for a time then combine with
other green dots to turn around and surround the red dots
that were pursuing them.
FADE INTO OVERVIEW OF BATTLE AND ZOOM INTO:
(The Bayou)
EXT. WHERE THE WEST IS TURNED AROUND
Thousands of enthralled BiMAVs in all out combat. Eventually
the Western BiMAVs are partially surrounded in an almost
closed C shape. The Western BiMAVs retreat through the
opening as they are pounded by the Leviathan.
INT. LCV
ZEUS
Good Stratesy Athena.
ATHENA
Thank you.
PERSEPHONE
Now let's compress the C then pound
the center.
ZEUS
Artemis make it so.
Show command screen as this happens.
Fast forward till all the red dots are gone.
REBEL TROOPS
Cheering.
CUT TO:
INT. LCV
HERMES
We've managed to get a foothold of
crust consumption to our MAV
production replicators. The East is
following suit in refining the
crust under them. Unfortunately the
West managed to refine the crust
under the ocean in advance of
Eastern drills.
ZEUS
Athena what is your plan.
ATHENA
We should charge into their
territory and capture every
production center that they control
along our path then capture their
shadow government which is situated
in Washington DC.
(The Bayou)
HERMES
I'll make sure the Eastern
reinforcements close in on the
shadow government so we can capture
them.
ARTEMIS
Is this the plan the East believes
will win us the war.
HERMES
Yes.
PERSEPHONE
We'll have to pull forces from our
Western US production block which
will comprise them to the enemy.
But the East has enough ground on
the Earth and enough asteroids from
the outer reaches that we can get
enough support to capture the Earth
even if we lose our production block.
ZEUS
Then let's make that compromise.
ARTEMIS
Then we head East.
Show on command screen cluster of green dots move till they
reach 150 km from Washington DC where the red dots are
clustered.
HERMES
My Western contacts have informed
me that the shadow government has
moved their position to New York
city which is poorly guarded.
ZEUS
What do you think girls should we
assault DC or move directly to New
York.
ATHENA
We should take them down now so
they have less forces.
PERSEPHONE
No we should capture their shadow
government now, checkmate.
(The Bayou)
ZEUS
Artemis I am divided what is your
choice?
ARTEMIS
Let's go to New York and maybe save
some lives.
HERMES
Good choice Artemis, by the time
you arrive in New York you will
have plenty of support from Eastern
forces.
Show on command screen cluster of green dots move till they
are right at the land on the other side of Manhattan where
the red dots are clustered from moving up from DC among
other places.
THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE FINAL MISSION
Show people watching from video monitors on the Leviathan.
Cut between monitors and people in BiMAVs watching their
screen, every couple of sentences.
INT. BIMAVS, INT. HOUSES, INT. LEVIATHAN, INT. LCV
ZEUS
This war has been long and hard.
Many people have given their lives
in support of both sides. All have
mourned from loss. Humanity itself
is suffering.
ZEUS
But there is hope, hope that a new
age shall soon be forged out of
this putrid war. As both sides
shall soon be consumed in an epic
battle we must think not that
killing our foe is wrong but think
that the slaughter that shall
consume this once great city will
be for the better of all humankind
and more importantly its nearly
complete survival.
ZEUS
For the forces that we rebels have
amassed at the shore of New York
City combined with the forces of
the East shall capture the puppet
masters of the West. On top of that
our allied forces shall crush the
last remaining body of resources in
this solar system.
ZEUS
WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO PUSH THEM TO
THE MOON!!!
ZEUS
Do not take that lightly. If we can
push the West back to 1 place then
they will have no power over the
lives of Spacies and Earthlings
because we will be able to contain
them within the shell of the
Eastern Armada.
(The Battle of New York, New York, The Final Mission)
ZEUS
Once that is done all of humanity
will be safely outside that sphere.
Then we can disarm them. Then we
can dominate the solar system with
one faction. Then we can establish
an E-Democracy where all of mankind
will be able to vote on the
internet and play virtual reality
games where your mind itself in
enveloped in the game. Then
Humanity shall live within a true
nanotopia.
ZEUS
REMEMBER THAT IS WHAT WE ARE
FIGHTING FOR!! Let the battle begin.
FADE OUT.
INT. LCV
Hermes appears on a big screen.
HERMES
Zeus it appears that the West is
preparing their Space fleet to
capture the Leviathan.
ZEUS
Well at least I'm not going to
encounter any of those transports.
HERMES
We're going to have to drastically
accelerate our ground invasion.
Show on the horizontal map in the LCV many lasers being shot
towards the Earth, as the West surrounds the Leviathan and
starts shooting out its plasma cannons. Show Hermes looking
at a screen of 3 assault transports coming at the command
center.
INT. LEVIATHAN BRIDGE
HERMES
Subcommander 1 when I tell you too
divert all power to the front rail
cannon and lock it on the incoming
transports. Fire 3 shots one at each.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Yes, Hermes.
(The Battle of New York, New York, The Final Mission)
HERMES
NOW!
The rail moves quickly up and fires at each of the transports
destroying them all.
HERMES
Good job.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Thank you. But the front cannons
have just been destroyed by enemy
plasma.
HERMES
Shit its too early.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
transports coming at us now.
HERMES
Where are they headed?
SUBCOMMANDER 1
to the command center, 16 to
power control.
HERMES
Good, right into the trap.
Show the 5 assault ships fire a ring of plasma at the hull
to make a hole to enter through. They Stop 10M away from the
holes and make the troops jump across the vacuums. They
group up and sweep through the deserted command center.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Sir 137 more transports are coming
towards us.
HERMES
Wait get ready to eject command
center. You launch it at the
optimal time.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Yes sir.
Show the 137 vessels rocketing towards the gigantic ship.
Suddenly the command center disconnects and flies right
towards the incoming vessels. They change their course to
stay away from it but only 28 ships escape the explosion as
it detonates.
(The Battle of New York, New York, The Final Mission)
HERMES
Great job.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Sir they just sent 78 more.
HERMES
Is there any way we can stop them?
SUBCOMMANDER 1
No but we can knock out some of
them.
HERMES
What is our laser support
efficiency?
CUT TO:
Show Zeus's face on the ground as his computer says-
COMPUTER
Laser support is at 87%.
The westerner defense seemed unstoppable at first but after
bombarding it with everything the Rebels could muscle up the
defense weakened enough for the BiMAVs to charge through it.
EXT. NEW YORK CITY
The Rebels had entered NY and soon the slower infantry
poured in. There were tons of snipers guarding the city but
after firing at a few buildings they were killed.
INT. LEVIATHAN BRIDGE
HERMES
With the enemies boarding the
Leviathan our laser and plasma
support will slowly dwindle.
Then to his men in armor lined up holding assault riffles he
assigns where they are to guard and how. As the 78 transports
arrive they all make it to the ship with a few casualties.
Show Hermes group as they watch as the shuttle approaches
the shuttle launches first a torpedo that penetrates the
hull then it blows a hole in one of the exterior corridors
then lets the troops push from the shuttle to the Leviathan
where they cut holes and penetrate deeper into the ship.
(The Battle of New York, New York, The Final Mission)
INT. LEVIATHAN HALLWAYS
What this rebel group does is they wait for the shuttle
start unloading the troops while duck taping small grenades
to the exterior of the hull when the shuttle starts
unloading its troops the rebels detonate the charges and
fire at the unloading troops until they are mostly dead and
then retreat to a place safe from the penetrating rail
machine guns of the Western shuttle.
INT. LEVIATHAN HALLWAYS AND INT. LEVIATHAN BRIDGE
HERMES
Good job taking the intruders down.
Send STEX to guard fusion core 8.
STEX move immediately to those coordinates before the
West gets a foot hold.
REBEL SPACE SOLDIER 1
Core 8 has been captured recommend
detonation before they get to the
rest of the ship.
HERMES
Partially detonate core 8.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Yes sir.
HERMES
There has been a 10% decrease in
artillery we will hold on as long
as possible up here.
INT. LCV
ZEUS
Damn it we are being sniped to hell
I already lost most of the troops I
need as much support as possible.
The buildings where the West is
hiding are covered in snipers with
shoulder cannons and antinfantry
riffles.
PERSEPHONE
We really shouldn't even be
attacking the city without Eastern
reinforcements.
(The Battle of New York, New York, The Final Mission)
These building could not be plowed over each sniper needed
to be sniped an impossible task considering the Leviathan
was fighting the frontier forces and was being practically
pushed into the atmosphere by tons of enemy fighters and
transports.
INT. LEVIATHAN BRIDGE
HERMES
more enemy transports are
unloading hold fast.
The transports arrive 13 are stopped but 27 more infiltrate
the hull. The ones that do infiltrate the hull are killed
when Hermes says-
HERMES
Detonate infiltrated sectors.
INT. LEVIATHAN HALLWAYS
Luckily this time no reactors were hit, but the West hit the
space to ground artillery bringing some if it offline.
EXT. NEW YORK CITY
On the ground the rebel forces had pushed deep into the city
and were running into buildings where they would kill
snipers from the rear.
INT. LCV
Zeus hears on the com from one of his officers.
SUBCOMMANDER 1
Sir the Leviathan's Primary Fusion
block has been disabled and cannot
communicate with the ground but
their weapons are at 43%.
ZEUS
Great.
Zeus says as he turns to order another officer-
ZEUS
Universal com all troops to push
harder into the city and prepare to
destroy the primary and secondary
targets, Ignore tertiary.
Zeus walks over to look at a display of the battle ground.
(The Battle of New York, New York, The Final Mission)
ATHENA
We can use rockets to bring the
building down.
ZEUS
Go over this building to get at it,
it's time to test out our new high
payload rockets
ARIES
Yes sir.
ZEUS
Once you get over fire all of your
rockets at one side of the
foundation of the building. That'll
take out a whole bunch of the buggers.
ARIES
We are already on it sir.
