Hit and Run!
Fade in to a shot of a tree, with the sun shining in the background.
F.A.C. OUTPOST 22
Cut to Grimmjow standing before Rey and his squad.
Grimmjow: It doesn't look good, guys. They've really beefed up their security.
Jerome: Why? What's goin' on?
Grimmjow: Well, it could be that someone from up top is coming to visit. Ooor it could be a response to the weapons I stole from this place a few weeks ago.
Rey: (sarcastically) Geez, I wonder which one it is.
Pesche: Uughh...I think it's pretty obvious that it's the weapons...
Rey: Stop talking.
Grimmjow: We're gonna have to go with to Plan B.
Rey: Wait, whaddya mean? What's Plan B?
Grimmjow: We plant C4, we leave and then we blow this outpost to hell.
Rey: What!?
Grimmjow: It's a standard hit and run. I've done it a million times, we'll be fine.
Rey: Uh, actually no we'll not be fine. I thought we came here to gather intelligence? That's gonna be pretty fucking difficult when their computer system is in about forty thousand pieces!
Grimmjow: Okay, I understand you wanna save your friends. I do. Really. But data retrieval is no longer an option. Once we find out where they're holding Wash and the others, the New Republic will do everything they can to save them. (sighs) But today isn't that day.
Rey: (sighs) Yeah, whatever.
Grimmjow: Now, we've only got one active camo unit. Rey, that goes to you. It's a little damaged, so try not to run it constantly. Only when you need to disappear. Got it?
Rey: Got it.
Grimmjow: As for they rest of you, that's up to your Captain...
Rey looks at his squad.
Rey: Ooooh. Right!
Rey then whips out his sword.
Cut to two Fed specialists pulling up in a warthog and entering the cave. They inspect a cable that Rey cut.
Fed specialist 1: Ah, here's the problem. The rats must have chewed through the wire.
Fed specialist 2: That is a military grade reinforced power cable. What kind of rats are you talkin' about?
Fed specialist 1:...Space rats?
Fed specialist 2:...Yeah I could see that.
Jerome and Tetsuzaemon knock out the two.
Fed specialist 1: Aagh! The back of my head!
Cut to a Rebel helmet being tossing into an armor pile.
Rey: Perfect!
Cut to Jerome and Tetsuzaemon in Federal armor.
Rey: Now, you look just like the rest of those assholes.
Grimmjow: That was stupidly fortunate.
Rey: Waddya mean?
Grimmjow: I mean, what if we had ended up with two really fat bad guys? What size are you, Tetsuzaemon? Like a medium?
Tetsuzaemon: Youth extra large, Sir.
Grimmjow: See? Whole plan. Whole plan would've been ruined. Just 'cause you watch something on TV, you think that it's good idea?
Rey: You don't? (to Tetsuzaemon) Also, really man? Youth extra large?
Tetsuzaemon: It's very sliming, Sir.
Pesche: Heeeey uhhh. What about me? Do I get a disguise?
Rey: No. pesche, you'll be guarding our escape rout.
Pesche: Oh, okay.
Rey: It's because I don't trust you.
Pesche: Got it.
Rey: Honestly, if you were out in the field, you'd probably get all of us killed.
Pesche: I can totally see that. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be me.
Grimmjow: Alright. Let's get to work...
Cut to the four of them sneaking into the outpost. Grimmjow sneaks off to the side, while Jerome, Tetsuzaemon, and an invisible Rey walk further into the base.
Rey: (sighs) Okay, just play it cool.
Jerome: You- you really think this plan is gonna work? I know the Reds and Blues are supposed to be like war heroes. But, they all seem kinda dumb.
Rey: (voice only) Dude, I'm invisible, not deaf.
Jerome: Oh... Sorry, Sir.
Pan to Grimmjow.
Grimmjow: (over radio) Okey dokey, boys. Everyone take your modified sticky detonators, find something that looks expensive and strap a bomb to it. Once you're done head back to the cave.
Jerome: (over radio) You sure you're gonna be okay out there in your armor, Sir?
Grimmjow: (chuckles) Don't worry about me, kid.
A Federal trooper appears behind Grimmjow.
Fed trooper: Freeze!
Grimmjow quickly pulls out his knife and throws it. Cut to a rear view of the Fed getting stabbed and falling over. Grimmjow clenches his fist in a "yes!" gesture.
Grimmjow: I am fucking awesome.
Cut to Rey uncloaking by a building with his detonator.
Rey: Okay, bomb. Do me a favor and don't go off in my face. (looks to his side) Am I right? ...Who am I talking to?
Fed trooper 1: (voice only) So, he's really here?
Rey: (whispering) Shit.
Rey peeks around the corner at two Feds talking.
Fed trooper 2: Yep, just came in from the city.
Fed trooper 1: They still got the Freelancer up there?
Fed trooper 2: I dunno. Look it up inside.
Fed trooper 1: Fuuuuck that. I'm not gonna let him catch me slacking off.
The troopers run off.
Rey: (whispering) Wash.
Grimmjow: (over radio) Rey, what's your status?
Rey: Good. Good. Aaalmost done.
Cut to a fed monitoring a computer inside a lab. Rey raises his detonator to the back of the soldier's head.
Rey: Don't move!
Fed: (turning) What the?
Rey: I said don't move! Turning is moving!
Fed: (turns back) Uurgh...
Rey: Okay, I want like a hard drive or something. With base locations and classified shit. And any info you've got on Agent Washington and the other dudes you kidnapped awhile back.
Fed: Okay. Just take it easy.
Jerome: (over radio) Captain, we're almost done. Where are you?
Rey: I'm in the lab. Give me a sec.
Grimmjow: (over radio) You're what!?
Rey: Dude, chill out. I got this.
Grimmjow: Are you fucking kidding me! I specifically told you not to- (Rey cuts off the transmission)
Rey: Thank you, mute button.
Fed: Alright. The data is copying over onto a flash drive.
Rey: Sweet.
Rey knocks out the soldier.
Rey: Ha ha! Look who's dumb now!
Tetsuzaemon comes up behind Rey.
Tetsuzaemon: Hey.
Rey: I surrender!
Tetsuzaemon: No, sir. It's me, Tetsuzaemon.
Rey: Oh, right.
Tetsuzaemon: You turned off your radio. Everything okay?
Rey: Yeah, sorry. I was kinda in the middle of something.
Tetsuzaemon: Well, we've gotta go. Like now.
Rey: Yeah, absolutely. (looks at the download) Just one more minute.
Tetsuzaemon: Sir, but I think the Feds are onto us.
Rey: Okay okay. We can gooooooooo...
The download completes. Rey grabs the drive and cloaks.
Rey: ...Now!
A shotgun blast is heard, followed by the sound of Tetsuzaemon's body and an empty shotgun shell dropping to the floor. Cut to Locus lowering his shotgun, with two Fed troopers standing beside him. Rey crouches.
Rey: (whispering) Oh shit.
Locus steps forward and examines Tetsuzaemon's body.
Pesche: (over radio) Tetsuzaemon? Everything okay? Uh Iba? Man, what's going on? Uuuhh guys? Tetsuzaemon isn't responding.
Locus: We've been infiltrated. Sound the alarm.
The two Fed troopers leave the lab. Locus glances at the "transfer complete" computer display and the Fed Rey knocked out. Locus raises his gun and slowly walks forward. Cut to Locus approaching from Rey's point of view. "Equipment Malfunction" flashes on Rey's HUD. Locus hears an explosion and turns around right as Rey's camo fails.
Locus: Grrrrr...
Locus leaves the lab. Rey looks at the bodies of Tetsuzaemon and the Fed trooper.
Rey: (quietly) Ah, fuck...
Grimmjow: (Over radio) Goddammit! Everyone move! We are aborting the mission!
Cut to three Feds searching on top of a building. A bomb explodes and sends them flying. Cut to Grimmjow behind a crate as more bombs explode and Feds run around in the background.
Grimmjow: I detonated some of the C4 as a distraction, so get out of there!
Cut to Jerome planting a bomb in a hallway and running off.
Grimmjow: (over radio) There's a good chance they'll be searching for, and disarming the bombs.
Jerone: Ah, man...
As Jerome runs out a trooper running by stops him.
Fed trooper 3: Hey, you! Stop!
Jerome: Uuuh...Yes?
Fed trooper 3: You're a specialist, right? Come on man we need your help.
Jerome: Oh...Great.
Cut to Rey running up a hill. Three Feds pass behind him.
Rey: Shit!
Rey keeps running through the base with chaos all around him.
Rey: Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
Rey runs into the cave and comes face to face with Pesche.
Pesche: Rey!
Rey: (Jumping back) Jesus, dude!
Pesche: Are you okay? What happened?
Rey: No! I mean yes! Where's Grimmjow and Jerome?
Cut to Rogers and several Feds standing around a bomb.
Fed trooper 3: Here.
Jerome: Oh.
Fed trooper 3: You can disarm this, right?
Jerome: Well, I ugh...No I...
Fed trooper 4: Waddya mean "no"!? This is your job!
Jerome: Right, no I know ugh...I know.
Random Fed: (voice only) Intruder!
Cut to Grimmjow running from a hail of bullets. He hides from three troopers behind a tree. Taking a deep breath, he jumps out and deflects their shots with his shield then shoots each soldier. Cut to another Fed charging at Grimmjow.
Fed: Yaaaaaaaaggghhh!
The scene goes into slow motion as Grimmjow kicks the soldier's legs out from under him.
Grimmjow: Right.
Grimmjow backs up to Rey and Pesche at the cave entrance.
Grimmjow: Talk to me people! Where's Jerome?
Rey: Not here!
Grimmjow: Tetsuzaemon?
Rey: ...Locus got him.
Grimmjow: Locus is here!?
Locus is seen uncloaking through Grimmjow's scope. Pesche ducks Locus' sniper shot.
Grimmjow: Run!
Palomo: What about Jerome!?
Grimmjow pulls out his detonator.
Grimmjow: Get down!
Rey: No wait!
Grimmjow pulls the trigger. All bombs start beeping. Cut to Jerome and the Feds.
Jerome: Oh son of a bi-
The bomb explodes.
