AVATAR-T.o.P.01-The Mission

(Ryan's voice):"In life, there's always some thing worth fighting for, whether it is some one special you care for and adore or some thing like a cause to preserve a way of life followed with a good reason. Greed and stupidity always has to be the cloud that blinds people to fight for some thing cheap and worthless. To know if something is truly important in life is what it's worth in life, which could only be determined by a reason of good, non-selfishness, and how much you're willing to sacrifice to get it."

It is Earth, 2149, some where in the Middle East, in a desert town. A battle is being fought, bombs exploding, shots being fired, and some bombs igniting in buildings. Ryan is ducking behind a piece of a wall, ruined by an explosion.

"Damn, you think after some years of peace, war would be forgotten, but there's always some one who has to ruin it."

David who is beside Ryan, "I hear that, damn they're really hitting us hard, we have to advance now or we're screwed."

A grenade ignites near by them.

Ryan reloading his weapon," Damn it! They're getting closer!".

He rises to shoot at the enemy and gets hit on the left shoulder. Ryan falls back on the ground and tears open his shirt revealing a bullet proof vest, "Screw this, if you all aren't going to stop hiding, I'll take them down myself!"

Ryan jumps out of his hiding place, shooting at enemy soldiers while advancing to hide behind a building. Ryan then talks into the microphone to contact his squad, "Come on! Get moving!"

While friendly soldiers run towards the same direction as Ryan, Ryan started moving through alleys taking out enemy soldiers high and leveled ground.

He crashes into David, happy to see a friendly face in the alley. "Have you received any word of when air support is going to arrive?".

David catching his breath, "No, I haven't."

Then his radio picks up a radio transmition, "AU1, this is Resolve 9; air support is in clear view, ready to fire, over."

Ryan looks at David, "Oh crap...we have to get out of here now!"

David and Ryan start running through the alleys to escape. "We're going to get fried if we don't leave now!" David says.

Suddenly an enemy soldier jumps out and lashes at David and Ryan with a machete. He knocks Ryan down and brawls with David. The soldier was force to drop his machete, but stabs David with a dagger. Ryan pulls out his pistol and quickly shoots the soldier killing him.

Ryan gets up and goes to David checking if he's alright and sees that David got stabbed,"Hang on man, I'm going to get you out of here."

David breathing quickly, "No, no...You have to get yourself out now...leave me here."

Ryan starts picking David up, "We're a team, we stick together, come on."

He lifts David up, carrying him through the alleys, and over hears the radio transmition,"AU1, they're 30 seconds away from the target location, evade now."

"You'll never make it...just leave me..."

"No, I'm not gonna leave you here, just hang on, we're almost out."

Ryan finally came out and saw that the air ships were not far from them.

Ryan starts moving quickly, "Shit, shit, shit!"

He tries to gain to more speed, now that the air ships were above. Then, the ships shoot missiles to all the buildings, making Ryan with David fly a small distance from the explosion. Ryan lies on the ground and gets up to see flames consuming what use to be buildings, with black smoke rising high into the yellow-orange sky. Ryan looked back to check on David, who was lying on the ground motionless.

Ryan runs to David and picks up his microphone, "HQ, HQ, I have a man down, send medics and enforcements."


Scenery (1): Inside the office of the Secretary of Defense, Ryan is walking around waiting for the Secretary. Then the Door opens.

"Well, you must be Ryan Sylinger, yes?"

"Yes sire."

"Did my escorts fill you in on why I called up here?"

"No, not really."

The Secretary goes and sits on his chair, behind his desk, "Well then, let's start at the beginning. Our intelligence had discovered a suspicious group of Russian militia soldiers, probibly mercenaries, preparing for a little space voyage. Intelligence has a probable cause that their target is Pandora."

He hands Ryan photos of a hangar with space ships.

"We were able to get these images before the plane was shot down. The Russian government denies it was the one to do such a thing and they have not found it, course we don't blame them."

Ryan then interrupts him, "So what does this have to do with me?"

"As I read up on your reputation, you took the 29th amendment to your advantage for your crime. We need some one like you mostly because of your skills in war. Since you're under 29th amendment which means you serve your death sentence by serving your country for life. But from what we seen and heard about you over the years, the American government believes you're perfect for the job we're going to give you."


Scenery (2): Ryan wakes up in the space ship cubical that puts the people in cryosleep through the space voyage. An officer comes to check up on him. Ryan is unstrapped and he floats to a near by window to look out only to see Pandora, the planet glowing, almost looking like Earth.


Scenery (1): "And what kind of job are you talking about?"

"I want you to be a spy for the U.S. Government, to spy on the Russian group going to Pandora of course. We also received news from the Colonel reporting that our operation on Pandora is endangered caused by an indigenous tribe called the Na'Vi, he has requested to, lets say "remove" them, to reach our target on Pandora. I want you to tell him not to do such a hasty act. The Government had sent a crew of soldiers and a few scientist which are apart of this, Avatar program on Pandora ten months ago. Intelligence believes the Russian group is planning to take off two months from now."

"What specifically do I do there? Do I shoot them all up or what?"

"Stay in focus here, we're planning to launch another ship secretly full with mostly scientist and a couple of soldiers, which will attach itself to one of their ships heading to Pandora."


Scenery (2): Ryan still looking out the window, remembering the conversation in his mind, "What will I get in return if I do this?"

"I discussed this with the President," He pauses," What you will get, is your freedom."

An Attendant then talks on the intercom to inform every one on the ship, "We will be arriving in Pandora in three hours, every one grab your equipment and belongings, and prepare for landing."
