SKYFALL-ALTERNATE ENDING

Spoilers for Skyfall, with a few different things happening with two characters' deaths.

CHAPTER ONE

BANG!

M gasped and bit back a scream as she felt the bullet collide with her. She dropped her gun and fell back against the window, immediately looking down at the already bleeding gunshot wound.

BANG! BANG!

M looked up and saw Bond standing before her, gun in hand. The man who had attacked her was on the ground, presumably dead.

"Are you hurt?" he asked.

"Only my pride," M replied, standing up straighter. "I never was a good shot."

Bond moved around the house, with M and Kincade behind him. He ripped off each gang member's ski mask, shaking his head.

"He's not here, he's not here."

"Well, then he's probably on his way," M said dryly. She had a hand on her hip, the one that had been hit. Neither Bond nor Kincade noticed.

"Do you hear that?" Bond asked suddenly.

"Hear wha-oh!" M exclaimed.

Kincade had an odd look on his face as well. All three of them heard music. Bond rushed to the window, and peering out, he saw a helicopter. It was blaring a rock n' roll song, with extremely disturbing lyrics that said "I wanna shoot you down!" and other things like that.

"Always liked to make an entrance," Bond muttered. M nodded, but there was a fear in her steely blue eyes that Bond had never seen before.

"I think he's got a machine gun, James!" Kincade said. He had been watching Silva's arrival, quickly realising the danger that they were in. "Are you two used to this? Also, how do you do it for a living?"

"That is a very good question, Mr. Kincade, one which I do not know the answer to, but ponder nearly every day," M said, glancing out the window quickly, then looking away again.

Silva and his men started firing just as M looked away from the window.

"Get to the kitchen and behind the archway!" Bond shouted over the noise of the guns. As M and Kincade hurried to the kitchen, Silva decided to throw an explosive. M screamed as it blew up right in front of her.

"I've an idea!" Bond exclaimed. "Go to the priest's hole, get to the chapel, I'll be there soon."

M started to protest, but Kincade agreed immediately. "Let's go, Emma, James will be with us soon."

M threw a reluctant look at Bond, then followed Kincade to the priest's hole, and into the tunnel.
