#6 Trial by Vulture
Fade in: Resistance Base
We see Imai, Logan, Madeira, and Skids meet up with Seras at the front entrance of the base.
Imai: Thanks. We owe you one.
Seras: Don't mention it.
Iron Man lands next to the group, his helmet unfolding around his head and into his armor.
Iron Man: Ladies, and gentleman.
Seras: Where's Bane?
Iron Man: Lost him at the interstate.
Imai: What do you mean you lost him?
Iron Man: As in, no longer found.
Logan: How do you lose track of someone that big?
Iron Man: That's what I intend to find out.
Seras: He most likely had an exit strategy before he even began planning his attack. I think it'll be a while before anyone tries something like this again.
Madeira: What do you think he was after?
Armando: Legion's files.
The group turns to see Armando, Kragen, Meryl, Wedge, and Peter approach them.
Armando: Which unfortunately, he managed to get his hands on.
Imai: Dammit!
Skids: Could he be working for Vulture?
Peter: Vulture are much too proud to hire mercenaries to do their dirty work. If this was a Vulture attack it would have their signature written all over it.
Armando: Commander, with your permission I'd like to begin the search for Bane.
Iron Man: I'm coming, too. I still need to repay him for Hallowton.
Seras: Bane is as much an enemy of the Crown as he is yours. Once the Wild Geese arrive we'll assist in the search.
Imai: Let's not waste any time, then.
Cut to: Carari Incorporated
Carari's Main Office
Vulture soldiers stand in Carari's office as she looks at them from behind her desk.
Carari: I assure you, I am loyal to the Vulture. If I thought for even one moment that Aminee was planning an assassination I would have put a bullet in her myself.
Vulture Soldier: Nevertheless, we have orders to take you into custody, ma'am.
Carari: Flirtatious Surely we can come to some sort of understanding?
The Vulture soldiers don't budge, and Carari just sighs.
Carari: There's nothing more annoying than a man who's married to his job. Angel!
A large seven foot tall man enters the room. The soldiers aim their weapons, but he quickly knocks them down with a single punch causing them to drop their weapons as he grabs one soldier by the neck, lifting him up and throwing him into the other soldiers that gather enter the office. Taking them out one by one with punches, kicks, breaking bones with each strike as the Vulture soldiers all fall to the ground.
Carari: Looks like I'll need to relocate.
Carari presses a button on her phone
Carari: Book me a flight to Moon Valley. I need a vacation.
Cut to: Bane's Hideout
Bane enters an abandon building and tends to his wounds. After doing so he takes out a cellphone and sends a text message that says, “It's done.”
The phone buzz and we see the reply “Good work” from a “The Genius.” The Genius sends another text message that reads, “Is it ready?”
Bane enters a small lab where vials containing a green liquid and a power backpack are on the walls and replies, “Yes.”
Cut to: The Core
Torture Room
Aminee's screams fill the room before the torture device shuts down. Ocelot walks up to where she hangs from the machine.
Ocelot: How long can you hold out for? You must know by now that the Resistance is never going to come for you. Why protect them?
Aminee: You don't know much about loyalty, do you?
Ocelot: Smiles I know it will get you killed.
The doors open behind them and Alexander walks in with a couple of Vulture guards.
Ocelot: Mr. Kross, what brings you to my neck of the woods?
Alexander: I have orders to take Ms. Starlight into custody.
Ocelot: What for?
Alexander: The General believes she won't break. It's time for her to stand trial for her treason against Isafaro. The trial will be held today. Live.
Ocelot: Live for all of Isafaro to see, including its traitors.
Aminee: What?
Alexander: Bring her.
The soldiers unstrap Aminee and carry her out of the torture room.
Cut to: Courthouse
The Vulture soldiers lead Aminee with her arms and legs in bindings behind a court podium as General Vulture, the Illuminati, and Alexander look down from their judges' seats. Aminee looks up at them in contempt as the cameras begin rolling.
The Illuminati: Ms. Starlight, you are being tried for treason against your country, and the attempted assassination of General Koma Iz Vulture. How do you plead?
Aminee: Not guilty.
The Illuminati: You deny attempting to kill General Vulture after you were apprehended by Lieutenant Dragunov during the assassination attempt?
Aminee: No, of that I'm profoundly guilty. But what I'm not guilty of is being a traitor to this country. I'm not the one with military forces everywhere, or the one with an artificial intelligence watching our every move. The only traitor to this country is you!
General Vulture: ENOUGH!
Vulture stands up and slams his hands on the table.
General Vulture: I find you guilty and sentence you to death! FIRE THE NOVALITH CANNON!
Aminee: The what Cannon?
Cut to: Space
We see a space platform aiming its main gun at the planet and charging up a devastating attack for the planet surface.
Cut to: Courthouse
Aminee notices that the guards are backing away and decides to back flip just as the ceiling caves in and her original spot in the courthouse explodes by the space platform as thirteen men appears equip with lancer rifles with a chainsaw attachment. Aminee grabs one of the normal Vulture guard and use him as a human shield while the soldiers open fire with five shots bursts, destroying the chains on Aminee's hands and feet and allowing her to take the Vulture's guard rifle and fire back at the super soldiers. The bullets only hit their armor. Aminee runs backwards as she fires, dropping down between the pews for protection. They did little good as the super soldiers cut through the pews nearly sawing right through the Pop Idol's flesh.
Cut to: Sector Three Streets
Armando's team and Iron Man are searching the area for Bane when they see the TV screen on the building showing Aminee on trial.
Armando: That's Aminee!
Deadpool: My love!
They watch as Aminee back flips and a beam explodes her place in the courthouse, teleporting thirteen Vulture soldiers in heavy armor.
Armando: What the hell are those?
Meryl: They're no Vulture troops I've ever seen.
Madeira: They're going to kill her!
Armando: We're turning around.
Madeira: They're all the way to Sector Nine we'll never make it in time.
Iron Man: On it.
Iron Man takes off into the air.
Armando: Tony, wait!
Iron Man leaves the area without another word.
Cut to: Courthouse
Aminee crawls underneath the pews as the super soldiers take to tossing them up into the air with one hand. Aminee can see more of them to the left, right, and straight ahead blocking the door. With nowhere to turn Aminee fires at their feet, the bullets only making them move back a little bit before they crouch down and aim their rifles underneath the pews. Aminee hops up to the top of the pews and jumps from one to the next, jumping off the soldiers' heads and making it out of the courthouse to find an army of Vulture troops and tanks waiting for her on the outside.
Aminee: A little overkill, don't you think?
Cut to: Sector Three Streets
Armando: We need to head back to the base and take a chopper to Sector Nine. Vulture drones be damned.
A red dot shines down from the sky onto the Resistance's vehicles.
Skids: What's that?
Kragen: Red dot.
Armando: RUN!
The group flees from the vehicles as a beam shoots down from the sky blowing it to hell. Coming out of the smoke are the thirteen super soldiers from the TV up above, activating their chainsaws in the face of the Resistance right in front of them.
Cut to: Courthouse
Before the Vulture's soldiers can finish off Aminee, missiles rain down from the sky blowing up the tanks and taking out the soldiers on the ground. Aminee looks up to see Iron Man sweeping down to grab her and flying back up into the sky.
Iron Man: Pleasure to meet you, Starlight. I'm Iron Man.
Aminee: Are you a robot?
Iron Man: Laughs Trust me, sweetheart, I'm all man underneath.
Aminee: You'll have to show me later.
Iron Man: I'd like to show you back to my place.
Aminee: Is that right? Sees the little red dot on Iron Man's face. Watch out!
Before Iron Man can react the red beam blasts into him sending Iron Man and Aminee crashing into one of the rooftops below. Aminee rolls over to the side of the roof, turning her head to see another super soldier on top of Iron Man. Iron Man trying desperately to keep the chainsaw from reaching his face. Aminee gets up and runs at the soldier, jumping up on top of his back and wrapping her arms around his neck. The soldier staggers back trying to get Aminee off of him while Iron Man aims his laser right for the visor, breaking through it and blinding the soldier knocking him over the ledge with Aminee still on him. Iron Man gets up to his feet and flies off the building, falling down through the air and grabbing Aminee watching the super soldier fall splat on the ground.
Iron Man: Got ya!
Cut to: Courthouse
Alexander: General! You didn't tell me that you were testing the Novalith Cannon today.
General Vulture: I am the leader of Isafaro, Mr. Kross. I do not need to inform anyone when I am using my weapons. Your experiment was a success, Mr. Kross. You should be proud.
Alexander: Those weapons were for war, not a trial!
General Vulture: This is war, Mr. Kross! Let our enemy fear the skies, let them know that there is nowhere to run or hide. This Resistance wants independence. They want to be liberated. Little do they know that there is only one perfected method of freedom.
Alexander: And what would that be?
General Vulture: Death. I will see to it that every man, woman, and child who would oppose the Vulture will be liberated until only those loyal to Isafaro remain. Remember that, Doctor, when the doubts begin to enter your mind that you're on the right side.
Alexander only looks at Vulture in horror.
General Vulture: I'm going to go play Angry Birds. I suggest you find some time to unwind before the war is knocking at our doorstep.
Vulture pats Alexander on the shoulder and leaves the courthouse with guards all around as the scene fade to black.
