PLASTIC APOCALYPSE: THE WITHDRAWAL PART 1 INTRO Map of Greentoria showing the extent of Tanolian expansion. Feldgrau Mountains and the area by the sea are shown with Tan icons. GEN DUNE(V.O.) Viking Company, fend off the greens with everything you ve got. Hold until relieved, reinforcements are en-route. Good luck.- General Dune The map gets zoomed on to Hedge Base where the action is to take place. Green icons move to meet the boundaries of the base. Tan icons inside the base are stationary. Text: The defence collapses, Captain Hammer and his remaining men make a stand in their headquarters. EXT. HEDGE BASE. DAY Green soldiers walk through Tan corpses. They fire at the Tan defenders who are not inside the trench. INT. HEDGE BASE TRENCH. Tan soldiers set up last-minute sand bag defences on either side of the trench. Quickly men, I can hear the greens yelling clear now. Captain Hammer is busying himself setting up ammo crates and grenade caches right outside a small tunnel opening. Green troops from a different flank fire on unsuspecting Tans above the trench. Explosions knock out some of them. What the? He looks through a periscope mounted nearby. More greens flood his view, then he spots one in them that he recognizes.
CONTINUED: 2. It s Macabre! Private, get Sergeant Pilar and his men here NOW! Yes sir! The bastard got us boxed in... Another tan trooper runs towards the captain. Captain Hammer! Report, corporal Colonel Hardglove *pant* approaches from the north. He s bringing two Patons and a platoon. E.T.A. 2 hours. We ll have to buy him some more time. The captain eyes a small tunnel behind him. He turns back to the corporal. Evacuate HQ, bring all men you could find here. Go! Yes Captain! That ll do soldiers. Get inside the tunnel. The soldiers are surprised We re not staying to fight? I ve got a better plan. Now move it!
CONTINUED: 3. The soldiers said no more and followed the captain s order. Int. HQ. Corporal Bren gets inside the HQ. There are a few men inside, some fire from the building windows. Guys, the captain ordered evacuation.let s run for the tunnels!! We ll make our stand here. Run you cowards! A Viking doesn t run from a good fight! Huh, suit yourself Lt. Gob. Because captain has a little surprise for the greens. The remaining soldiers exchange looks. As the Tan troopers rush for the exit, Cpl. Bren looks at a printed layout of the underground tunnel where the captain is. He quickly rips it off to avoid the greens capturing it. He follows the soldiers out. EXT. TRENCH. Tan soldiers are frantic to escape the slaughter. Captain Hammer leads more soldiers to safety. Go! go! Move! Sergeant Pilar stumbles towards Captain Hammer, he is accompanied by several troopers. Sarge...you need a medic? Sergeant Pilar s arm is gone. The medic s dead, and 1st platoon s gone. What s going on?...you men get inside this tunnel, move! The men start going in
CONTINUED: 4. We ll hold out in the tunnels, until Colonel Hardglove arrives. Fall back! fall back! A few tan soldiers run up from where the sergeant walked through. Captain-captain! The defenses are breached! They re entering the trenches! The view of the trench where the greens are going in. SGT. PILAR We need to go Captain, I ll blow up the tunnel once you re in. I ll kill anyone who thinks to dig through the rubble. We need to wait for the others, we are stronger together. If the greens find us, we ll die together! Captain, we must go! I can t just leave them! Gunshots ring very close. A group of Tan troopers gets shot trying to run around the corner. Sgt. Pilar grabs the captain and shoves him inside the tunnel. SGT. PILAR Fire in the hole! This way! Hurry up or- The grenade blows up the tunnels entrance, just then the Tans come face to face with the greens who are coming around the corner. They blast the men in front of Cpl Bren, which forces him to run for cover. Shit! Get back!
CONTINUED: 5. He fires his own rifle around the corner, but the greens suppresses him and he and another soldier retreat away from them. Run! run! The soldier runs with him to the other direction. He gets gunned down by more greens at the other trench. Bren gets rifle whooped by one of the greens and gets knocked to the ground. Get down! GREEN GREEN 2 Wait! He could have intel. GREEN We ll finish you later. You re coming with us. The soldiers point the other way. No *click* YOU RE COMING WITH ME!!! GREEN Oh jeez!!- Bren makes a suicide charge at the greens, he kills them with a strapped grenade. EXT. TAN HQ.(stock footage) CPT MACABRE We don t take prisoners. Flashes to Green Captain Macabre s perspective. Macabre finishes off the remaining Tans. EXT. TAN HQ FRONT.(stock footage) CPT MACABRE Good work men. Let s take care of our dead and start digging in. INT. TRENCHES. BREN S BODY. Green soldiers carry the blasted Greens who were blown up by Bren. One green looks to the ground and spot the charred remains of the map which Bren ripped off.(it s useless)
CONTINUED: 6. CPT MACABRE (V.O.) Grab any intel you could find. Sandmen leave all kinds of shit around. EXT. HEDGE BASE BUILDING. SUNSET GOING DARK Hedge base building burns, the greens sweep the area of remaining enemies. INT. HEDGE UNDERGROUND Inside the underground tunnels. Soldiers tend the wounded while the rest gather around. The sounds of the battle fade away. Better them than us huh? I m sorry for pushing you in Captain, it had to be done or we wouldn t be here. Well you have my recommendation for promotion. All of you get some rest, we still have a long night ahead of us! I want guards here, report any noise coming from the entrance. Yes, captain! Colonel Hardglove sure s taking his time. Where the hell is he? EXT. NORTH OF HEDGE BASE. TANKS ON THE MOVE. INT. HARDGLOVE S TANK. COLONEL HARDGLOVE Keep it together Gromit, we can t afford to get stuck out here. ENGINEER GROMIT *coughing* I m trying sir, but this beast can only take so much heat. The plastic s starting to melt.
CONTINUED: 7. LT. VOX Colonel, I ve picked up the signal of their emergency channel. I m patching it through. COLONEL HARDGLOVE Good, let s see who s alive. INT. HEDGE UNDERGROUND. A ham radio sits where Hammer and Pilar are talking. Do you hear that? Everyone shush! The radio picks up in volume and a distorted voice fills the cave. COLONEL HARDGLOVE 10th Armored, 3rd Combat Group to Hedge garrison. Hedge garrison, this is Colonel Hardglove. Please respond...what is the situation? CPT. HAMMER Colonel Hardglove, Captain Hammer of Viking Company. We re alive and well, Green forces in Hedge base have taken over. You brought the cavalry? COLONEL HARDGLOVE Yup, two tanks and a platoon. But I ll need every help I could get because Dune s kept a tight leash. The greens are popping up like moss, not just in Hedge. Not to worry, we already took out a third of Macabre s strength. We just need to catch them by surprise and clean them up. CPT. HAMMER Let s set the trap. TO BE CONTINUED. END OF PART ONE.
