ZEUS

alright.
(Knight of Destruction)
ATHENA (VO)
Yeah will do, I am looking for a
safe entrance now. Up. The commando
team just cut off all power, any
entrance will be safe. Here is a
nice thin door to blow.
Zeus runs over and plants explosives around the door. Then
detonates it.
ZEUS

ATHENA (VO)
Yeah sorry.
The two probes go into the facility.
SKY COMMANDER (VO)
Zeus their Sky Command Center is
closest to you. It is currently in
use to manage the resistance, go
there and disable the entire room.
ZEUS
Such an important task for just one
man.
SKY COMMANDER (VO)
Look up.
Zeus looks up and sees 3 Western STEX rappelling down the
side of the building.
ZEUS
Well I'll be damned.
Zeus runs to the door.
INT. HALLWAYS BEFORE EASTERN SKY COMMAND CENTER IN TYPE 5
COLONY
They fall the last few meters to a
crouch, just a few meters
away from.
ZEUS
Quad follow my lead. We run in fast
and hit them hard.
Zeus runs in front, guns a few armed but not STEXed military
personnel, the quad encounters only a couple of STEX as they
are guided to the enemy Sky Command Center.
(Knight of Destruction)
Zeus gets to the Sky Command Center door. The other 3 form a
perimeter around him. Zeus presses the button to open it.
The small console displays "lock down"
Zeus puts a line of C-7 around the door. Zeus detonates it.
Zeus walks in crouching below the partially blown off top of
the door.
INT. EASTERN COMMAND CENTER IN TYPE 5 COLONY
Zeus shoots up into the air.
ZEUS
STEX, Loud speaker.
Loud speaker shows up on the STEX console.
ZEUS
Turn the power off I am shutting
this room down.
Zeus looks up at the main room defense gun currently dormant
since the loss of power.
ZEUS
I SAID TURN THE FUCKING POWER OFF!
Zeus looks up at the sky commander. Zeus aims at his head.
The sky commander is still orchestrating the battle. Zeus
pulls the trigger.
ZEUS
Since we cut of you evacuation rail
launchers I WILL MAKE IT SIMPLE.
YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO LAY FLAT ON
THE GROUND OR WE KILL YOU. 5,, 4,,
2,, 1,,, 0.
Most of the people have laid down. Zeus sees an 3 of a quad
of assistants that is still commanding. Zeus sprays
horizontally killing them all. The rest of the unit begins
to open fire sporadically killing all those non-compliant.
Most of the commanders and assistants got the message and
fell to the ground.
Zeus begins to climb up the commander's pedestal. Zeus
throws the old commander off.
ZEUS
Open a channel to radio frequency
megahertz, standard, and
unencoded.
(Knight of Destruction)

CUT TO:
LAST AFFIRMATION OF LOVE.
EXT. LOW GEE OPEN SPACE PORT
ATHENA
Oh Zeus I am so glad you made out
of there alive.
ZEUS
So am I my perfect spacie girl.
ATHENA
If this war is over and we are both
alive I want to marry you.
ZEUS
I thought I was the one who was
supposed to propose.
ATHENA
Oh that old tradition is
meaningless
after replicators were developed. I
just want to choose a ring on the
replicator.
ZEUS
Don't you want a diamond found in
the ground.
ATHENA
No I want a diamond to be perfectly
clear and pristine just like
replicators make them.
ZEUS
But it is the flaws that define
love.
ATHENA
You are without flaws Zeus, it is
the war that corrupts you and when
that is over you will be as clear
as the diamond on my finger.
ZEUS
But I am not pure at all even
before the war and neither were you.
(Last affirmation of love.)
ATHENA
Shhh.. just let me pick out my pure
clear white diamond because I want
the symbol of our love to be 100
percent pure.
ZEUS
I have a secret to tell you. Would
you love me no matter what I say.
ATHENA
Yes
(jump up and giggle)
I want to hear your secret. Yes I
will I promise you no matter what
you say I won't stop loving you but
(waves her index
finger pointed hand
up and down)
I may judge you.
ZEUS
Fair enough. I
(waves hand then points to
his chest)
personally was the one who flew the
ship into the Western Elevator.
ATHENA
You did what!!?
(Hits Zeus hard in the
heart)
I'll never love you again.
ZEUS
I thought you said no matter what I
said you would still love me.
Athena starts walking away.
ATHENA
Not that.
ZEUS
But I thought it was just a
simulation.
Athena looks over at Zeus and starts walking backwards.
ATHENA
Did you really not know.
(Last affirmation of love.)
ZEUS
Really I just thought there was
fiber optics on the window or
something.
Athena starts walking back over.
ATHENA
Did you really not know.
ZEUS
Yes until I got out of the pod in
Africa then it became real.
ATHENA
Ok well if that is true I'll still
marry you.
Athena jumps into Zeus's arms.
ZEUS
I'll love you forever.
ATHENA
So will I so will I.
They make out as camera swings around to the profile of
their heads and upper torsos at which point the camera can
see the window above their heads.
FLY CAMERA OUT OF WINDOW ON THIS COLONY, ACROSS SPACE AND
TIME TO:
THE FINAL MISSION
Camera goes through window exterior window and on top of
building, where Zeus is commanding his infantry lance.
EXT. SUBURBIA IN TYPE 6 COLONY
quads are on the building with Zeus, 2 others are on
neighboring buildings.
ZEUS
Quad D drop from roof and check the
nearest substation, this one should
be open.
QUAD LEADER D (VO)
Yes dropping.
ZEUS
Get low, sweep out for snipage.
Zeus lays down near the corner of the building looking
through the scope of his sniper riffle at Quad D checking
the security station.
QUAD LEADER D (VO FROM AFAR)
(shrugs)
It's locked and barricaded, over a
meter thick, just like last time.
ZEUS
Ok thanks, I will com with command.
ZEUS
Sky commander, we are not sure what
is happening around here, things
seem fishy.
INT. SKY COMMAND CENTER
SKY COMMANDER
Do you think you can handle it.
EXT. ROOF TOP IN TYPE 6 COLONY
ZEUS
I can't even see what I need to
handle. Recommend mechanized
reinforcements.
(The Final Mission)
INT. SKY COMMAND CENTER
SKY COMMANDER
Your colony has just entered
Western Space, we've got naval
superiority. BiMAV reinforcements
will arrive in just over 5 minutes.
EXT. ROOF TOP IN TYPE 6 COLONY
ZEUS
Ok, that's good to know. I'll be
watching to see if they pull
anything out of their sleeves. Over
and out.
QUAD LEADER D (VO FROM AFAR)
SHIT!!!!!!!
A small BiMAV walks out of a building right near the
substation. Enemy STEX come out of locked substation (but we
don't see this.) All we see is the quad die almost instantly
from shots coming both from the BiMAV and the subway.
ZEUS
LIGHT BiMAV. QUAD B and C building
hop to encircle and destroy BiMAV.
Zeus sees about 8 enemy STEX run over the corpses of Quad D.
ZEUS
WAIT ENEMY STEX.
You see on the battle field interface, about 16 other
soldiers EKGs, changing color, mostly to red, then black.
ZEUS
IT'S a TRAP. The WHOLE MISSION's a
TRAP.
INT. SKY COMMAND CENTER
Sky commander is viewing a colony map with allied and enemy
units on it.
ATHENA (SHOW HER LEFT HAND FISTED
DOWN AND FORWARD OF HER CHIN
REVEALING HER ENGAGEMENT RING)
Hmmmm.
ATHENA
The colony's park has no
substations
and seems to be secure, form a
strong point there.
(The Final Mission)
INT. SUBSTATION IN TYPE 3 COLONY
ZEUS
Fall back to substation Alpha 9er.
Quad stands up firing at eight enemy STEX and jump down from
the buildings.
Quad reassembles into a 'V' formation, with Zeus at the
front. Zeus leads them down the stairs to the substation.
ZEUS
Train I need a train!
SPECILIST 1 (VO)
One is already on it's way.
Zeus looks intensely at nothing. The quad has their guns in
relaxed positions either propped up on shoulder or muzzle
resting on the marbled floor. As train arrives-
Shooting begins, everybody aims at that train.
ATHENA
FIRE WHILE RETREATING.
Everybody backs out of substation, still firing at the train.
One of Zeus's men squirms as an injured member of Quad B is
walking up the stairs. Zeus grabs him to help him up as Zeus
fires killing the injured man on the train.
Last member of Quad B, Karen, walks over to take over for
Zeus to help him limp away with his almost destroyed left
leg.
EXT. TYPE 6 COLONY
ZEUS
Command advise. COMMAND!
ZEUS
Suit how come I cannot reach
command?
STEX
Communication with command has
broken.
All information not within this lance disappears on heads up
display.
Their are 5 people left in the Lance. Zeus looks back to see
another train pull up behind the other train.
ZEUS
DROP HIM WE need speed.
(The Final Mission)
About two enemy units get off of the train, now not visible
given that Zeus is running as fast as he can down the road.
ZEUS
Karen, DROP HIM.
Karen looks at him and lets go of him. They both begin
shooting down at the subway station. They both die.
Zeus along with the last 2 go into a full sprint down the
commercial street. The park is shown on the 3-D map to be
almost on the other side of the colony.
Zeus makes a short hand signal.
ZEUS
Cover our flank.
The three remaining Western lancemates jump 180 degrees to
run backwards as they shoot at the enemy STEX.
One of the three get shot dead. Zeus points to his last quad
mate.
ZEUS
GO!
She slides to a stop and dives into the alley. Zeus does the
same.
ZEUS
Launch infrared recon probe.
Zeus points forward.
As they run out the other side of the alley. They can see
two snipers posted in window's opposite the street they run
into. They shoot fully automatic at them. The woman STEX
runs behind Zeus and into a door of a small business. Zeus
is still shooting automatically, before he sidesteps and
backs into the building.
INT. BUILDING IN TYPE 6 COLONIES
The woman is already running up the stair well to the roof.
Zeus follows her up to the top-
EXT. BUILDING ROOF IN TYPE 6 COLONIES
and snipes on the opposite side of the building as her.
The last two of the quad snipe out a few enemy STEX. A few
bullets pass by the woman's head, shattering the concrete
side of the building.
(The Final Mission)
WOMAN
We need a fresh position.
ZEUS
Right.
They get up and back up towards the center of the building.
SUDDENLY Zeus sees two BiMAV arms come up over the building
about two buildings over, in the direction of the road that
the two stumbled into from the alley.(slow down time) Zeus's
mouth drops to the ground scrambling with his feet as he
pushed his feet out towards the center of the building and
she does the same. The woman is facing the other direction
before a shell separates her two halves. Another shell
passes by just over Zeus.
Zeus begins to roll on his side too his right towards the
alley they ran through twenty seconds ago. Each succession
of two shells passes by Zeus closely on both sides of him.
Zeus rolls onto all fours as he approaches the edge of the
building. (speed up time) Zeus pushes off from both arms
which are holding his riffle, over the building. Zeus lands
feet first somewhat shocked in the alley.
EXT. ALLEY IN TYPE 6 COLONY AND INT. SKY COMMAND
Zeus immediately runs out into the street as the sky
commander says-
Connection with sky command comes back online.
SKY COMMANDER (VO)
BiMAVs won't be coming. They are
taking our command center. ALL
units BLOW OUT! BLOW OUT!!
Time seems to slow as Zeus views his girlfriend being shot
once in the heart on the interface.
ZEUS
Athena are you alive?
Zeus touches her name, bring up a picture of her dead
station. Her EKG is in cardiac arrest. Zeus sweeps away the
interface with his right hand as he reaches it to pick up
his plastic explosive package. Zeus throws it up the road a
bit.
SUBSTITUTE SKY ASSISTANT (FROM A
DIFFERENT SKY COMMAND CENTER)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING Zeus detonate.
(The Final Mission)
ZEUS
I will. Helmet off.YES!
(he is sure before the
suit can butt in)
Zeus casts the helmet on top of the
building to the left. We
hear it but not see it.
CUT TO:
Athena is being STEXed. The Suit starts automatically
oxygenating and circulating her blood.
STEX
Initiating blood circulation and
oxygen.
STEX
Tissue repair to chest region in
process.
CUT TO:
Camera sits facing Zeus's face as he outstretches his arms
and clenches his fists.
ZEUS
Fuck this Fallen Nanotopia.
Detonate.
Zeus is knocked over backwards. Wind blows by Zeus, but he
does not move. Zeus releases his backpack symbolizing both
him giving up on life and his suit giving up on gripping the
ground, to keep him from moving. Zeus slides out of the
rough, sharp, and random gash.
SPC. JUST OUTSIDE TYPE 6 COLONY
Falling into the vacuum, the life is sucked out of Zeus,
along with his air, and blood through his ruptured aveloi in
his lungs. He silently gasps for a second before his life
fades. Silence rules as unconsciousness does. Zeus rotates
with slight motion, eyes still open as if he saw hell.
FADE OUT.
seconds of pure blackness.
Show credits.
