#10 The Core


The scene opens up with Armando, Madeira, and Kragen entering the brig where Drake, Ayanna, and Zach are.

Drake: Oh, look who it is. Mr. Commando has come to pay us a visit.

Armando: We're here to make a deal.

Drake: A deal?

Ayanna: What kind of deal?

Armando: You help us get inside of the Core and we let you walk.

Drake, Ayanna, and Zach laugh.

Drake: You have a death wish.

Zach: Why should we help you?

Armando: As far as Vulture is concerned you're dead to him. This is your chance to be free, or you can rot in this cell the rest of your lives. The choice is yours.

The three prisoners look to one another and then back to Armando.

Drake: When do we leave?


The group walks through the sewers as Drake leads.

Drake: Vulture had two tunnels dug into the sewers in Sector Six and Sector Eight in case anyone ever managed to do the impossible. Both are heavily guarded just like everything else in the Core, but not impossible to break through if you know where to look.

Armando: Speaks into the radio Kragen, are you in position?

Cut to: Sector Eight Sewers

Kragen: Affirmative.

Cut to: Sector Six Sewers

Armando: On my signal we storm the place. Puts down the radio Let's do this.

Drake and Ayanna leads the charge, being the first to draw the Vulture's fire, repelling the bullets with their blades making sure none hit the rest of the squad. Armando, Aminee, Deadpool, and Meryl follow behind with Resistance soldiers firing at Drake and Ayanna's flanks.

Cut to: Sector Eight Sewers

Upon hearing the gunfire over the radio, Kragen leads his own team to the other entrance inside the Core. Zach runs by Kragen's side, open firing on the enemy soldiers with Skids and a small army of Resistance soldiers behind them while Madeira produces an electromagnetic field to protect them from bullets.

Cut to: Sector Six Sewers

Drake and Ayanna cut down the last Vulture's guards blocking the secret entrance. Drake enters the command code to get the door open and looks to the others.


Drake: Hurry. It won't be long before the Illuminati seals everything off.

Armando and his team enters through the doorway and Drake closes it behind them locking them in. Armando turns around and bangs on the door.

Armando: What are you doing?!

Drake: You said if we helped you get in you'd let us walk. You're in, we're walking. Simple as that.

Armando pounds on the door a second time while Drake wraps his arm around Ayanna's shoulder and the two leave.

Cut to: Sector Eight Sewers

We see Zach punching in the same code and sealing Kragen's team off as soon as they enter. Madeira turns around to see the door is locked and is about to use her powers to pry it open when Kragen stops her.


Madeira: That bastard's leaving!

Kragen: Irrelevant. We're in.

Skids: We won't have any way to get back out.

Kragen: Neither will they.

The Illuminati: On speakers Welcome to the Isafaro Core. Prepare to die.

Poisonous gas enters through the vents and begins to fill the room.

Kragen: This is why I wear the mask.

Cut to: Core West Wing

Armando's Team covers their mouths and noses and proceed down the corridor looking for a way out. They come across another door that won't open and Armando attempts to kick it down to no prevail. Deadpool takes out his Katana, sliding them in to the crack and prying the door open allowing for the rest of the team to escape the deadly gas. They immediately run into fire as more Vulture's soldiers approach their position and attack.

Cut to: Core East Wing

Madeira blasts open the door to the next room and continues to protect the group from gunfire as the others fight back. Once the soldiers die they come back as undead and Kragen quickly throws a grenade in their direction to blow them to pieces. The Illuminati floods the room in response forcing Madeira to put down her shield in fear of getting everyone electrocuted. More soldiers enter the area and open fire at the group, several Resistance soldiers falling to the bullets as the rest pick up the dead Vulture corpses and use them as meat shields to fend off the enemy.

Cut to: Core West Wing

Deadpool takes the lead repelling the soldiers' bullets with his Katana blade while the rest of the team fire back.


Armando: Remember to aim for the head!

The group fights their way through Vulture's troops making it to a staircase and they proceed up the Core floor by floor fighting off any soldiers that get in their way.

Cut to: Core Lobby

Kragen's Team makes it to the lobby of the Core where they meet more soldiers with cyborg support. The group takes cover behind the tanks as the firefight ensues. Skids see the elevator not far from their position.


Skids: There's an elevator over there.

Madeira: It's too risky. The Illuminati could just cut the power.

Kragen: Staying here is risky.

Madeira: There has to be stairs or something we can take.

Skids: Can't you just magnetize it or whatever if it shuts down?

Madeira: Lift a big ass elevator up one-hundred floors? You may as well ask me to lift this tank with my bare hands.

Kragen: The tank!

Madeira: Plays a couple of notes on her guitar magnetizing the tank and turning the main gun on the Vulture soldiers clearing a path for the group to make it to the stairwell

Cut to: Core Staircase

Armando and the rest of his team are still running up the staircase.


Meryl: How long is this thing?

Aminee: This is ridiculous.

Armando: One-hundred floors isn't going to be an easy climb, ladies.

Deadpool: Wait, are we parodying Final Fantasy VII or Metal Gear Solid?

A gun camera attacks the group forcing them back down the steps.

Deadpool: Metal Gear Solid.

Aminee: They just thought of everything, haven't they?

Armando: Meryl, you brought chaffs?

Meryl: Takes them out Never leave home without them.

Armando: Have at it.

Meryl throws the chaff grenades jamming the gun camera and allowing the group to continue their ascent.

Cut to: Bottom of the staircase

Kragen and the rest kick in the door and sees Armando's team up ahead.


Kragen: Up there.

Madeira: Maybe the elevator would have been a better idea.

Skids: Too late to go back now.

The group runs up the steps to catch up with Armando's team.

Cut to: Core Top Floor

Armando's team reaches the top of the Core.


Armando: I don't want to do this, but we need to split up if we're going to cover more ground. Meryl, you take Deadpool and half our soldiers and find the computer system. See if you can shut the Illuminati down for good. Aminee and I will take the other half and pay our respects to the good General.

Aminee: Sounds good to me.

The group split up into two.

Cut to: Staircase

Kragen's team are still ascending the staircase.


Madeira: My feet are going to have so many blisters after this.

Kragen: Quit complaining!

Madeira: I'll complain as much as I want!

Skids: Sees more Vulture's soldiers following them Guys, we have company.

Madeira: Looks to see them, too Mother fucker!

Kragen: Keep moving!

The team keeps moving upward shooting at the Vulture's soldiers when they get too close.

Cut to: Core Central


Armando, Aminee, and the rest of the Resistance soldiers suddenly find themselves surrounded by Vulture's troops. The Vulture's troops pick off the remaining Resistance soldiers leaving only Armando and Aminee alive. They look up to see General Vulture, Revolver Ocelot, and Sergei Dragunov in front of them. Aminee glares at Ocelot while Armando keeps his glance on Vulture.

General Vulture: How nice of you to show up. Surely you didn't think you'd make it this far without us allowing it?

Armando: That was your first mistake.

The Vulture soldiers force the two to their knees and aim their weapons at the back of their heads.

General Vulture: The Vulture makes no mistakes. It was a bold move storming the Core, and even using the secret passages to get in. I can only assume that those ingrate experiments of mine helped you.

Aminee: Experiments?

General Vulture: Did you think the Golden Trio were born with such talents? No, they, like all things Vulture were engineered by me.

Armando: Like Legion. What kind of a sick man turns a little girl into a monster?

General Vulture: The same man who crushes all who oppose him! Misguided morals has no place here. The man with the best weapons and resources always come out on top over the weak and ethical. Only those willing to do whatever it takes to survive will live, and those who are not will die. Like the two of you. I believe this is enough monologuing. Kill them!

Before the soldiers can pull the trigger, Armando swings back his gun arm knocking the soldier with a gun to his head back into his comrades. With the same gun arm, Armando fires at the soldier holding Aminee at gunpoint allowing her to reclaim her twin pistols and fold her arms firing at both sides of the soldiers with Armando. The two clear the Vulture's troops while the General escapes into his office leaving Sergei and Ocelot to take care of them. Sergei charges at Armando and Armando in turn charges at him as the both begin to ram their fists into each other. Meanwhile, Aminee runs after Ocelot firing on his position. Ocelot spins around avoiding the bullets and throws his trench coat into the air and firing off two shots from his revolvers that hits Aminee in the stomach bringing her down to one knee.

Ocelot: Had I known all it'd taken to put you down were a couple of bullets, I would have shot you sooner.

Aminee: Fuck you! Fires more shots at Ocelot

Ocelot: Spins yet again and kicks Aminee in the head when he gets close

Cut to: Computer Room

Meryl and Deadpool's group reach the computer room fighting their way through Vulture's soldiers. Many of their troops get taken out in the brawl, but in the end the Resistance comes out the victors and they see the main computer console for the Illuminati as well as Alexander Kross.


Meryl: Give it up, Kross. It's over.

Alexander: I agree. For you. Holds up his gun

The Resistance soldiers hold up theirs.

Deadpool: Walks towards Kross Give it up, Doc. You know that thing can't kill me.

Alexander: Oh, I know. Fires two shots at Deadpool's chest That's why they aren't bullets.

Deadpool: W-what did you do? Collapses to the floor

Meryl: WADE!

The Resistance soldiers open fire on Alexander, but all of their bullets miss despite their aim being perfect.

Alexander: Illuminati, seal them off.

An electric field traps the Resistance soldiers and their leaders inside the room as Alexander approaches them safely.

Alexander: I developed a vaccination to the mutant gene that plagues so many great people of Isafaro, and like all good things in the Crimson Vulture, we weaponized it. Just in case all those experiments of ours decided to revolt. All those injuries you experienced in your life? They're all coming back now that your healing factor is gone.

Deadpool: Y-you killed me with the plot of X-Men 3? You uninspired son of a bitch!

Meryl: Tending to Deadpool Wade, it's going to be okay. You're going to be okay.

Deadpool: Sorry, kid. This is the end of the line for me. Looks like Death and I will get to be together after all. A bittersweet ending to what was an epic life. Dies

Meryl: Stands up and looks at Alexander You bastard! Hits the shield and receives a shock that knocks her backwards

Alexander: I expect your friends will be meeting a similar fate soon. Did you really think you could shut down the Illuminati? It is the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world! It sees and hears everything. It's as important to Isafaro's life as breathing itself. What could you or anyone have done to disable the greatest invention ever created!

The Illuminati shuts down unexpectedly cutting the power to the Core and freeing Meryl and her soldiers.

Alexander: Looks towards the computer console What!? This isn't possible! Who could have–!

Meryl: Shoots Alexander in the back

Alexander: Falls to the floor

Meryl: Don't know. Don't care.

Cut to: Central Core

Armando picks Sergei up and runs forward before slamming him down into the ground. Armando gets on top of Sergei and punches him in the face, but Sergei blocks the blows with his arms and flips Armando over to his back placing his hands over Armando's windpipe and squeezing on it. Armando struggles to remove his hands with one arm while slamming his gun arm into his head. Sergei gets off him and while Armando gets up and prepares to fire at him, Sergei draws his pistol first and fires multiple shots into the gun arm's barrels jamming them and rendering the gun useless.


Armando: Shit!

On the other side of the room Aminee throws a punch towards Ocelot only for Ocelot to catch the arm, but Aminee quickly slams a knee into his stomach and delivers a follow-up kick to knock him backwards. Ocelot quickly regains his footing in time to dodge two more strikes from Aminee and grabs her arm flipping her onto her back and pressing the heel of his foot down onto her throat while never letting go of the arm. Aminee grabs Ocelot's foot with her free hand and tries her best to remove it while being choked.

Armando swings his gun arm left and right at Sergei, but Sergei easily evades due to the weight of the gun arm and fires more shots from his guns into the chest of Armando. Armando drops down to a single knee with blood dripping down his chest as Sergei aims for the head. Armando quickly rolls to the side and charges at Sergei ramming his full body weight into the Russian and knocking him back down to the ground this time making sure to slam his gun arm repeatedly into the skull of Sergei.

Ocelot sees this and removes one hand off of Aminee's arm to reach for his revolver giving Aminee the chance to pull back on her arm flipping Ocelot over through the air. Aminee quickly gets up to a knee with both her guns and open fire on Ocelot; emptying both her clips into the chest of the old man and watching him drop dead to the floor.

Armando literally bashes in the skull of Sergei Dragunov, watching the blood flows from his battered head as he stands up and turns to see Aminee walking back towards him, looking down at the mess Armando made.


Aminee: You ask me it's an improvement.

Armando: You get your man?

Aminee: If you gave him a drink of water he'd be leaking all over the place.

Armando: Laughs and pats Aminee on the shoulder Let's go get that Vulture bastard and end this.

Armando and Aminee storms Vulture's office to see him standing in front of his desk. He turns around and stares the two down.

Armando: It's over.

Vulture grins and dashes towards Armando grabbing the gun arm and dissembling it in a matter of seconds leaving nothing but a nub in its place. Vulture jams Armando's in the throat and pushes him down the stairs in front of his office's door. Aminee draws both her pistols, only to watch the General dissembles both of them before she has a chance to use them and slams his fist into her face knocking her down on top of Armando. Meryl and the soldiers that accompany her finally make it into the room and raise their weapons at Vulture. Vulture quickly draws a sub-machine gun from his coat and fires on them first. Before the bullets could pierce their flesh, an electric field wraps around them and protects them from harm as Kragen's team finally catches up with the others and assists in firing on the General. This forces General Vulture to retreat back into his office as the others check on Armando and Aminee.

Meryl: What did that manic do to you?

Armando: He tore apart our weapons. We'll be fine.

Aminee: Where's Wade?

Meryl: He's dead.

Aminee: What?

Meryl: They had some kind of vaccine to revert the mutant gene. They shot him with it. Once Deadpool lost his healing factor years of punishment finally caught up with him. I'm sorry.

Aminee: No. No! He can't be dead, he can't be!

Skids: Guys, I really don't want to be that person, but we have a squad of Vulture's troops on our asses. We need to get moving.

Armando: Seal off the entrance to make sure they can't get in. We still have to deal with their leader.

The Resistance troops get to it immediately while Meryl comforts Aminee.

Madeira: How did you guys manage to shut down the Illuminati?

Meryl: We didn't. Someone else must have done something. How they did it I don't know, but I'm grateful.

Armando gets up to his feet and walks over to Aminee.

Armando: Aminee, I know it's hard, but I need you to keep your head in this thing just a little bit longer. Can you do that?

Aminee: Nods her head and stands up

Armando turns with the rest of his squad and looks towards the entrance of General Vulture's office.

Armando: Vulture! I said it's over! You can't fight off all of us!

A gunshot sounds off from inside Vulture's office. The team look at each other in confusion before Kragen and Meryl approach the door. Kragen kicks it down and Meryl enters with her gun at the ready only to find Vulture on the floor with a bullet wound in his head. The rest of the team enter the room to find the body.

Meryl: The bastard did himself in.

Armando: Goddammit!

Madeira: He got off too easy.

Kragen: Far from easy.

Skids: Does this mean we win?

Armando: Looks to his teammates It means the people of Isafaro never have to worry about being taken from their homes ever again.

We cut to a closeup of Vulture's head before everything fade to black.
