               AFRICA



               EXT. OGOOUE RIVER

               Zeus opens the pod and swims to shore.

               Looking out onto the expanse of the green savanna plains Zeus
               sees 4 black jeeps approaching with africans driving(Plasma
               assault riffle next to them) with another african in the jeep
               holding a plasma assault riffle, and 3 CIA guys in Hawaiian
               shirts; 2 white and 1 black in three different jeeps.

               Zeus waves as 3 futuristic Jeeps pulls up right next to Zeus.
               African CIA opens door for Zeus.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1(WHITE GUY)
                         Hi, get in.

               Zeus is gets into the left back seat.

                                   ZEUS
                         I am not so sure this is a training
                         op anymore.

               Zeus is in.

               African CIA all start laughing, African CIA 3(black) still
               laughing translates to French for the natives, they start
               laughing also.

               African CIA 1 leads the way by starting to drive.



               EXT. AFRICAN DIRT ROAD IN JUNGLE

                                   ZEUS
                         Ohhhh fuck I just started World War
                         wow duude that's tripped out.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Hopefully the media corporations
                         will successfully portray your
                         character as a terrorist and not
                         CIA. Otherwise yes there will be
                         World War 3.

                                   ZEUS
                         How am I getting back to the
                         states?

               (Africa)

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         We are driving to one of President
                         Amini's personal airstrips, a  C
                         385 SkyJumper is ready and waiting
                         to lift us off. I will escort you
                         personally, the others stay here.

                                   ZEUS
                         Oh you get to be the shophur how
                         exciting.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Yeah to bad there's no action.

               Zeus looks over at the other jeep, where African CIA 2(white)
               is talking on a sleek cell phone(which company is going to
               pay to have their cell phone shown). African CIA 2 appears to
               have hung up and is speed dialing.

               African CIA 1's cell phone is ringing.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         What's happening.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 2
                         Gorillas have taken over the air
                         strip, everyone who is guarding it
                         is dead.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         A road block?

                                   AFRICAN CIA 2
                         We don't know, but they don't have
                         any war vehicles besides jeeps.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         We have to assume they don't have
                         enough time to severely barricade
                         the position. How many men are
                         there.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 2
                         Last time I heard 36 naked natives-

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         nakeds with no STEX are not so bad.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 2
                         and at least 4 STEX.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Rebels don't have STEX what the
                         fuck is going on here.

               (Africa)

                                   AFRICAN CIA 2
                         Supposedly the STEX are ESP.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         ESP, Eastern Secret Police, what
                         the hell are they doing here, this
                         means that Europeans had advanced
                         knowledge of the attack.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 2
                         I thought the same thing.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Regardless my orders are very
                         explicit: "Get Zeus back to the USA
                         no matter what." Therefore we must
                         continue as planned else we will be
                         caught here.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         African CIA 3 tell our drivers what
                         is going on then await contact from
                         Republican Reinforcements. I'll
                         call the President of Gabon to get
                         more men.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         Aya captain.

               African CIA begins screaming in French so all the Gabonese
               can hear.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         In case we don't make it we have to
                         inform the CIA that there are ESPs
                         here. African CIA 2 call homebase;
                         tell them everything.

               African CIA 1 hangs up cell phone.

                                   ZEUS
                         What the hell is going on?

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Shut up, I'll explain later.

               African CIA 1 dials a 13? digit number.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         President Amini I am from the CIA
                         we need to evac one of our
                         personnel immediately via that
                         airstrip. It's been taken over by
                         rebels.

               (Africa)

                                   PRESIDENT AMINI
                         Not my problem I have already
                         helped you enough-

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1

               SKULL!!!

                                   PRESIDENT AMINI

                         nearby, I'll send them in Jeeps to
                         meet you on the road just before
                         the strip.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1 (PERFECTLY CALM)
                         Thank you very much sir, I am sure
                         that you will have a prosperous
                         future as the President of Gabon.
                         Have a good day.

               African CIA 1 hangs up cell phone.

                                   ZEUS
                         Wow that was a wonderful strong
                         arm, perfectly superb.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1 (PERFECTLY CALM)
                         I've been in the CIA for over
                             (African CIA 1 begins to
                              dial a number)
                         years I know what I am doing. I
                         started off shipping dope out of
                         Afghanistan.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         Hello.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Have the minute men contacted you
                         yet?

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         Yes they are currently mounting
                         their jeeps.

               (Africa)

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         It appears that CIA 2 is still on
                         the phone with homebase.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         I am just wondering; how are we
                         actually getting on this plane.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Your not, I am going to have all
                         Jeeps form up into a V with one of
                         the African's taking point, I will
                         follow directly behind point, you
                         will be on the lower right of the V
                         and African CIA 2 on the lower left
                         most point.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Support us with fire until we get
                         onto the plane then have all jeeps
                         swerve away from battle. I and Zeus
                         will ride directly onto the plane
                         and you 2 will be on your own until
                         you get back to base.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         Ok we form a V you directly behind
                         the front us two at the back, we
                         charge the position and once you're
                         on the plane we all drive away.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Yep that's it.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         That sounds simple enough. Stop at
                         the cross roads just ahead we'll
                         meet the reinforcements there.

               African CIA 1 lets the cell phone move away from his face.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         I see it, chauffeur arręt.

               The 3 original Jeeps come to a stop, with CIA 2's the most
               forward.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         GET YOUR JEEP OUT OF THE
                         CROSSROADS.

               African CIA 2 still on phone to home base signals the driver
               to reverse.

               African CIA 2's jeep backs up behind the intersection.

               (Africa)

               African CIA 1 talking on cell phone;

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Ok tell the reinforcements about
                         the V formation. Tell them not to
                         stop at all.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 3
                         We're going up against 4 ESPs and
                         36 nakeds.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Yeah right.

               African CIA 1 hangs up cell phone.

                                   ZEUS
                         How long until they get here.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Should be in a minute or so. We're
                         fucking charging 4 ESPs, and 36
                         naked rebels.
                         This is very simple the strip is
                         just a few hundred meters up ahead.

               African CIA 1 points to GPS based mapping system at front of
               Jeep.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Hopefully this jeep will drive
                         directly into the plane.

                                   ZEUS
                         How does the driver know.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1(FRENCH)
                         Drive behind the V directly into
                         the plane's bay.

               Driver nods.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1(FRENCH)
                         Good let's get ready people!

               African CIA 1 looks in the back and finds 2 plasma riffles,
               one he gives to Zeus.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Here, when I tell you to pop up and
                         fire on your side at the ESP. If
                         they are in front we have to push
                         them away so they don't hit our
                         jeep.

                                   ZEUS
                         Ok don't worry I'll take him down.

               republican jeeps pass by in a relatively tight formation.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         GO!

               Jeeps follow behind them.

               The road is on flat ground so the Jeeps in the front begin to
               fan out in a crude V formation.

               The driver of African CIA 1 begins to follow directly behind
               front point.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         This is very simple keep your head
                         low, pop up to hit those ESPs, and
                         hope we get on the plane alright.

                                   ZEUS
                         What if the driver gets hit.

               African CIA 1 has a buckled seat belt. African CIA 1 buckles
               Zeus's seat belt.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Then we jump out of the jeep and
                         charge directly into the plane.

                                   ZEUS
                         Oh god.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         NO hesitating, just fucking run
                         onto that plane and kill everything
                         in your way.

                                   ZEUS
                         Ok I'll do it.



               EXT. AFRICA CLEARING NEAR PLANE

               V formation all but complete. Shots are beginning to be
               fired.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Get down!

               African CIA 1 helps push Zeus to a low position.

               ESP all in a picket line dump plasma on the oncoming jeeps
               slaughtering many of the Republican minute men. Behind are 36
               rebels wearing only camouflage cloth uniforms.

               (Africa)

               The C-385 SkyJumper is a futuristic sleek looking jet with 4
               engines, 2 directly above the other engines which are below
               the wing halfway back.

               ESPs do a dive roll to dodge out of the way of the first
               Jeep, they begin shooting at the first Jeep. Zeus shoots one
               of the ESP and some of the rebels.

               Zeus's jeep keeps on going and begins to take a wide left
               arcing turn to drive into the C-385 SkyJumper. The driver of
               Zeus's Jeep is shot in the heart.

               The Jeep is just a few meters from the plane and begins to
               turn too much and begins to roll along the ground. It stops
               just 4 meters from the plane upside down.

               African CIA 1 is closer to the plane than Zeus is.

               Zeus and African CIA 1 automatically unbelts and get out of
               the Jeep.

               Zeus and African CIA 1 each kill 1 of the 2 guards to the
               plane's loading bay and immediately sprint towards the bay.

               African CIA 1 is the first into the plane and immediately
               presses the close bay button.

               Zeus jumps onto the quickly closing bay.



               INT. SKYJUMPER BAY

               African CIA 1 is running to the flight deck.



               PLANE TO AMERICA

               Zeus run also to the flight deck and get in the co-pilot's
               seat.



               INT. SKYJUMPER COCKPIT

               African CIA 1 has already begun to start the plane.

                                   ZEUS
                         Holy shit how are we going to get
                         out of here, they'll scramble
                         fighters.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         No they won't, the Gabonese control
                         these skies not the rebels.

                                   ZEUS
                         What if there are flying ESPs.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         They can't fly in Gabonese air
                         space either cause we own it, and
                         the Atlantic Fleet will protect us
                         while we are over the Ocean.

                                   ZEUS
                         The USA deployed carrier squadrons
                         just to protect me, I feel so
                         honored.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         They are protecting your mask and
                         costume, cut it to pieces and get
                         ready to throw it out the bay once
                         were over the ocean.

                                   ZEUS
                         Yes sir.

                                                                CUT TO:



               INT. SKYJUMPER BAY

               Zeus pressing the button to open the bay. Once the bay is
               open Zeus throws the shredded cloth and plastic into the
               glistening ocean below.

               Meditating in silence for 5 seconds.

               African CIA 1 opens the flight deck door.

               (Plane to America)

               Zeus presses the button to close the bay and walks back into
               the flight deck.

                                   ZEUS
                         I am going to sleep, tell me when
                         were above American soil

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1 (LEANING OVER FROM
                         COCKPIT)

               Alright, I'll just fly the plane alone.

                                   ZEUS
                         Good night.

               Zeus begins to snuggle himself to sleep outside the flight
               deck on some camouflage netting.

                                                                CUT TO:

                         Wake up, were just past the coast,
                         a fighter escort is directing us to
                         a military base in Pennsylvania.

               They both walk back to the cockpit.



               INT. SKYJUMPER COCKPIT

               awesome looking next generation Joint strike fighters hover
               on each side of the C-385 SkyJumper.

               Zeus is still standing in the middle of the flight deck.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         Close the door and sit down.

               Zeus closes the door and is about to sit down when-

                                   ZEUS
                         Look two of the Jets are flying
                         forward of the plane.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         That's weird must be forming a
                         forward fighter screen for some
                         reason, I hope that nothing is
                         going to come down and attack us.

               Visible on one of the peripheral viewing cameras, the 2 jets
               still to the side of the C-385 SkyJumper fall back behind the
               wings.

               (Plane to America)

               The 2 forward Jets flying forward at amazing speeds take a
               sharp 180 degrees loop.

                                   ZEUS
                         They're coming straight for us.

                                   AFRICAN CIA 1
                         I

                              from the top of the
                              cockpit down through both
                              of the flight chairs down
                              through the bottom of the
                              cockpit.)
                         kno..

               African CIA 1's head falls down, his body strapped into the
               chair.

                                   ZEUS
                         HOLY SHIT!!

               In the peripheral cameras show 4 sidewinder type missiles
               deployed 2 from each rear jet take out all of the Jet engines
               at the same time.

               Jets continue to encircle the plane strafing it with bullets
               and eventually missiles. The C-385 SkyJumper begins to take a
               nose dive.

               Zeus gets to a parachute and puts it on. Zeus opens the bay
               door and jumps out.



               AIR. OUTSIDE SKYJUMPER

               Just as Zeus jumps out of the plane multiple missiles
               converge to explode the fusion reactor, sending an explosive
               shockwave that tears apart both fuselage and wings.

               The jets do not notice Zeus from the debris that is falling
               everywhere. The Jets all fly due West probably to that
               military base where African CIA 1 was directed.

                                                                CUT TO:

               Zeus opens the chute just above ground.

               A few seconds more of falling.

               Zeus lands on the ground into a roll.

               (Plane to America)

               Zeus takes the parachute off.

                         trace it to the CIA, while you on
                         the other hand know nothing that
                         can not be read in a newspaper,
                         besides of course my cell phone
                         number.

                                   ZEUS
                         I see, can you get me a new
                         identity.

                                   FRIEND
                         That won't be necessary.

                                   ZEUS
                         Why not?

                                   FRIEND
                         You will be working for us of
                         course, we need people like you and
                         it would be too risky to let you
                         loose.

                                   ZEUS
                         Why could I blab.

                                   FRIEND
                         Yeah basically that is why the West
                         took measures to eliminate you.

                                   ZEUS
                         So what if I don't want to join
                         back with the CIA.

                                   FRIEND
                         You will die.

                                   ZEUS
                         Don't we all die.

                                   FRIEND
                         No, that expression stooped working
                         after the fountain of youth was
                         invented. What I meant was you
                         would be caught immediately.

                                   ZEUS
                         Oh shit, I guess you've probably
                         got this place surrounded with
                         agents by now?

                                   FRIEND

                         hide and seek.

               chameleon STEX begin to march guns pointing forward over to
               Zeus.

                                   ZEUS
                         Well if you give me a new face
                         how,,,,
                             (Zeus realizes the
                              stupidity of what he is
                              saying)
                         can you track me.. Ahh fuck I'm
                         screwed.

                         Nope you just got to work for us
                         doves.

                                   ZEUS
                         I've got no choice. I'll join.

                                   FRIEND
                         Good your first assignment is to
                         kill the Director of the CIA.

                                   ZEUS
                         What!?

                                   FRIEND
                         Did you think I was joking about
                         the factions. We got to take this
                         guy out before he starts a war.

                                   ZEUS
                         How am I going to do it?

                                   FRIEND
                         Everything is in the car.

                                   ZEUS
                         Everything? Does that include a
                         map?

                                   FRIEND
                         Yep and your mission objective and
                         how to get back to where I live.

               (To Find a Compatriot)

               Says the friend as he leaves.

                                   ZEUS
                         Wait! I haven't finished talking.

                                   FRIEND

                         at my house, see ya there.

                                   ZEUS
                         See ya deush.

               Friend just keeps on walking not even flinching.

               Zeus looks around to see one of the STEX motion for Zeus to
               enter the car.

               Zeus waves to the STEX as he says.

                                   ZEUS
                         Get out of here.

                                                                CUT TO:
