               your STEX still has eastern markings.

                                   ZEUS
                         Make sure they don't shoot at me

               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
                         Launch a couple of recons will ya.

                                   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.

               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.

                         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.

                                                                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.
