Episode I: AfterShocks I : Part I: Where the wild things are?

[start act 1] (Revised 1/12/00) A blue sky dawns. Over 30 days have passed, since the irradication of, 99.999999% of life on Earth. Life on Earth is now and well forever be dead! A small hawk slowly pasts by below. Around is a land of pure arcahic destruction. The dead lie still; for after 3 weeks of decomposing a dead, stench fills the air. A small hawk, flies on taking his recon mission.

Falcore: This is Falcore to Clawed-One.

Over the communicator a thundering voice comes. Clawed-One: Yeah Falcore?

The Falcon looks at his radar unit and sees many echos being returned. She then picks up speed as she speaks. She is passing over what remains of a small village in the north-eastern rim of the Alpha Continent. Falcore: I am reading Inner Circle readings, about 3 KM from my area, should I investagate?

Clawed-One: Yes, go to recon and look.

Falcore: Shapeshifting...

As the EI gland inside activates, Falcore reacts he turns into a sleaker Falcon, and much much more quicker.

(CUT TO SPHERE BASE) Meanwhile at the Spheres Base. A lovely looking browned fured Dingo walks up the steps from her research lab. Dingo: Has anyone seen FireCat? A large Raptor Like animal arises from his computer console. On the console is a wireframe version of a pleatu, on it is the exact posistion they are at now. Clawed-one: No I havent, wonder where he could be. (Suddenly cut to door). Out from the secondary entrance comes a young tiger. He emerages from the door screaming. (CUT TO FIRECAT) FireCat: Oh oh haha uhuh. Out out out out side!!!!! DONT GO OUT THERE!!!!!!! Dingo: Whats up Fire? FireCat: THERES SOMETHING OUT THERE! IT AINT CIRCLE! Clawed-One: Dingo come with me. Something doesn't seem right. Dingo: Shapeshifting... Clawed-One: Shapeshifting.. (They each turn into their basic forms). Then a elegant looking Cheeta comes up from the armory. He is carrying 2 guns in his hands. He passes one to Clawed-One, and Dingo. Clawed-One: Fire, u stay with Chetta. Chetta: Heyz Fire, Clawed well cover u. Shapeshifting. As Dingo, Clawed-One, Firecat, and Chetta venture outside the compound they look right and left. (The compound is at a blueish tint.) Cheeta looks some more in awe of what this young one has saw. NOTHING! Chetta: What was here dude? FireCat: A little bit up more. They move up through the remains of what was once a robotic construction facility. Hanging down are wires and remains of robotic equipment. Dingo: (Look at Clawed-One) I can sware nothing was alive anymore. Clawed-One: Same here if it isn't Circle, then somethings happened. Dingo looks over @ Fire-Cat. Dingo: Fire, where is it? Fire-Cat: I dont know! IT should be here. Chetta: I just think ure going crazy young one. Clawed-One: Lets head back. Clawed-One flips up his communicator. (CUT TO FALCORE) Clawed-One: Falcore hows it going? He is now flying close to the pleatu as the sun above sets. Falcore: Good sir, I'm heading back. Clawed-One: Ok watch out and see if you see anything non-cirlce. Falcore: Why, sir? Clawed-One: Fire saw something. Falcore: Not again sir, but I'll keep my eyes open. Falcore out. Clawed=One: Ok.

(CUT TO Inner Circle BASE) Meanwhile over at the Inner Circle Base:

Out comes a very dark bat like creature. In his hand is a disk, and in the other hand is a weapon of some sorts. Darkknight: Sir, I have completed my recon of the Sphere. I was saw but I don't think my counterpart on the Sphere saw me.

Out of the shadows a Tiger comes.

Blades: Good kid. Now, what data do we have?

Darkknight pops a small disk into the computer. Darkknight: This is the data I have recieved. Computer open DarkknightAlpha1.

Computer: Sphere Base. The Sphere have a high amount of local fasic interfaces. LFI Rating: 9. A picture of what the Sphere Base looks like arises and shows weak points. Blades: Good, lets begin. Golden-eye. Golden-Eye: Yes sir? Blades: I want you to go get FoxTrot and u 2 and me are gonna go pay the Sphere a visit. Genocide u'll stay and monitor the base. Genocide: Aye Aye Sir. They all suit up in battle gear, and begin their run from their base in the moutains. About 5 KM away is the base of the Sphere. They run on and on. [end act 1] [start act 2] The Inner Circle begin their assault on the Sphere's base. They are now at the outer defense grid of the Sphere's base. Darkknight: 3 KM and closing. IFL Reading 9 sir. Blades: Shapeshift. Blades transforms into a wonder darkened Tiger. Darkknight: Shapeshift. Darkknight turns into a bat with his guns drawn. Golden-Eye: Shapeshift. Golden-Eye becomes a recon hawk, and begins his calculations. Blades: Target the power systems on the turrets. Darkknight raises up the scope on his gun. (SWITCH TO SCOPE VIEW). Align to cross hair in 23 seconds. Blades: Fire at will. Darkknight shoots the power system on the turret's power bank. All the turrets turn off. Blades: CHARGE! The group about 2.9 KM. Then stops. Blades: Watch it now, were near the inner defense. Golden-Eye grabs a EMP grenade and throws it. Golden-Eye: Inner Defense down. Blades: How often were you working on that? Golden-Eye: Thats the only one I've been able to finish. Blades: LETS GO GO GO! They all run and take cover behind some debris. A alarm sounds. Some gun fire goes on as they shoot and shoot out comes clawed-one. A bunch of shots are exchanged. Clawed-One Ducks down and shapeshifts. He opens up his communicator. Clawed-One: WE GOT COMPANY! LETS GET OUT HERE NOW DAMMIT! The rest of the sphere comes. They take refuge behind whatever they can. Firing shot after shot. (Try taking about 9 minutes in this gun fight). Golden-Eye is knocked back. Darkknight runs over to her. Darkknight: Golden u ok? She gets up. Golden-Eye: Just a little brusied. Foxtrot: Ah walk it off. Golden-Eye: You and ure positive attuidute Fox. Foxtrot (smiles): Hey, watch it kid. Darkknight: What! AH! (Ducks as a flaming bullet goes above his head) Blades: Gotta be careful kiddo. Firecat: Im outta ammo. (Throws his grenade) DIE! Foxtrot: Ah, hit the deck!!!!! The grenade explodes knocking Foxtrot out. Blades: Dammit! RETREAT! The Inner Circle returns to base, as the Sphere follows them firing. They then return back to base. But, a little surprise is left in the Sphere Base. Clawed-One begins walks back inside. He then signals for the others to enter the base. Cheeta looks below him, and notices a grenade. Cheeta: .... EMG Grenade!!!!................ A odd look goes on Dingo's face. (Pan to dingo). Dingo: Uh oh! RUN! Clawed-one runs up as the clock on the EMG Grenade ticks down. Dingo: 3 SECONDS! 2!!!!!!! Sweet comes off Clawed-Ones faces as the others faces are in awe and scared. Cheeta: 1!!!!!!!!!! They all tense up! Clawed-one: Ah, got it! They all breath a sigh of relife. Around them the sun has totally gone down. They walk in base. [end act 2] [start act 3] But, Cheeta steps on something. (after the 9 minutes) Noticing somethings stuck on his foot. Cheeta: AH MAN! Sir, whats this? Cheeta is holding a golden sphere. Inscribed are the words, FoxtrotAlpha1 Program. Clawed-one: See if we have any ports which can understand Circle Code. They all walk into the base. Fire-Cat goes over the computer bays. He opens up the port which is a golden color. (pan around the room). The room is full of electronics there are 5 stair wells and 3 elevators. The room is mostly golden and dark blue. The ports stand out as they are black. Fire-Cat spots one. FireCat: Right here sir. Firecat plugs the sphere into the ICD Port. On the screen pops up a converter. (13 seconds later). Firecat: Its converted sir. Opening it. Up on the screen flashes data for a canyon 27 KM south of the Inner Circle base. A few pictures are there. The area is desolate. It appears to of once been some sort of robotic testing facility. One with what appears to be part of a robotic wing. Cheeta: What the hell? Up on the screen comes files that may be related. BW111, BW9, ADV19293-1a.9312-90 Clawed-one: Computer load data BW111 A voice echos from the speakers above. Computer: Beast Wars data. .01% loaded... Clawed-one: Well, here is all we know of what some of the past was. Truely this is all the data I remeber from reading of this on the Matrix. But... Its all we got. Firecat: Beast Wars sir? Clawed-one: From what little memory I still retain. It was a war between robotic units. It ended in a firey battle. I dont remember anything else but how it ended. These robots were what were at one time.

Back @ the IC base. (wipe to Inner Circle Base).

Foxtrot is looking around through his gear. He is looking for the golden orb he dropped at the Sphere base). Foxtrot: DAMMIT! Its not here. Blades gets up and hes very very pissed. Blades: WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT HERE?!? WHERE THE HELL IS THAT DAMN PROGRAM?!? Foxtrot is scared, he gets up and speaks. Foxtrot: I must of left it @ the Sphere's base. Blades: Oh no... Pan out...
