QUOTE FADES OUT
WE STAY ON BLACK
Moments later a man’s voice reads the following ROLL UP in white lettering.
VOICEOVER
Rising to the end of the 24th century, conflicts between rival nations raged wars to no end--as the wars died out a new form of government has risen from the ashes, that government was called The Republic of the Commonwealth--Ruled by some of the greatest Chancellors that have ever walked the earth, the Commonwealth became a beacon of light.
During the narrating, simultaneously, the black frame slowly fades into a white frame and the white lettering slowly fades into black lettering.
VOICEOVER (CONT’D)
During the rising of the new world, we constructed a new arm of justice, one that will accept orders and never question its meaning, The Guardians. Whose soul task is to seek out and eradicate those who appose a threat to the Commonwealth.
The lettering fades away, leaving us a pure white frame. Moments later we pullback from the white frame, suddenly heavy rain pours down from the dark cloudy skies, pulling back some more to find out that the white frame is in fact a bright spotlight, it moves across the ground like a death ray, searching left and right. As we pullback even more, we find ourselves in a.
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NIGHT
A MASSIVE Militarize complex, SPRAWLING. A fifteen foot concert wall that protects them from intruders, along with well armed guards that will blow any trespassers away, POWERFUL searchlights that rings the perimeter. A true fortress.
EXT. WOODS - NIGHT
The RAGGING storm continues on, spitting down a hail storm of rain into our surrounding dark foliage. Moments later, five, black latex-clad ninja like soldiers emerge from the dark forest. Each one of these Black-Figures carries a P90 with a silencer, wakizashi blades, and a samurai sword.
The one leading this squad is Black-Figure #1. The Black-Figure’s move swiftly from the forest and onto a grassy knoll that looks over the military complex.
EXT. KNOLL - NIGHT
The Black-Figure’s drop to their stomachs, scoping out the complex with their metal goggles with Iris shut to mere pin prick opening.
BF-#1’S POV:
We see a murky infrared/night-vision plasma image of the military complex. An indicator reads “aligning” as a three dimensional VR representation of TWOWATCHTOWERS and the guards inside.
EXT. IN THE TREES - NIGHT
High up into the foliage trees sits another Black-Figure. One with a curvy body like a female. BF-#6 is equipped with the same weaponry as her team mates, but wheels a Sako TRG-22 sniper rifle with a silencer attached to the muzzle.
SCOPE’S POV:
This HIGHLY trained sniper assassin, has her sights set on a GUARD in the south west tower, steady, aim, POW!, silent kill.
She moves the rifle to the second tower, POW! Quiet as a mouse.
EXT. KNOLL - NIGHT
BF-#1’S POV:
He sees that his targets are down for the count, its all clear.
He signals his squad to move out; they make their way down the wet grassy knoll, moving towards the outside wall of the complex.
OUTSIDE WALL:
Their backs against the wall, ready to climb over, BF-#3 pulls out a grappling gun, and fires it over the wall.
The rope tightens up, and one by one they climb their way up.
EXT. WOODS - NIGHT
BF-#6 comes sprinting from the woods, heading to her team, that’s almost over the wall.
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NIGHT
BF-#5 lands on his feet, now the team awaits for BF-#2.
OUTSIDE WALL:
BF-#6, climbs up the rope, with such amazing speed. She gets to the top and drops.
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NIGHT
BF-#6 lands on her feet like a cat, she follows the team. Heavy rain and hard-driving winds lash the Black-Figures. They move through the courtyard, taking out the patrolling guards.
SERIES OF SHOTS AROUND THE COURTYARD:
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX - COURTYARD - NIGHT
BF-#4 also has the body of a woman, slowly, she sneaks up on a guard who walks away from her, he has no idea what’s about to happen. He turns around and before knows it; BF-#4 slices his torso upwards, the blood spits and then sprays all over the wet ground.
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX - SOUTHENDWATCHTOWER - NIGHT
BF-#2 and BF-#3 positions themselves outside the door to the
Military Complex’s elevated watch tower.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - SOUTHENDWATCHTOWER – NIGHT
BF-#2 and BF-#3 burst inside the watch tower. The guards inside spring up. The BF’s take aim, BLAM!BLAM!BLAM! The quick and quiet barrage of rapid fire coming from their P90’s makes the kill quick and silent.
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX – ACROSS THE COURTYARD – NIGHT
ANGLEON an oblivious guard, who stands in the hard-hitting rain, suddenly out of no where, A NOOSE drops around his neck, pulls tight, and drags him into the air.
END OF SHOTS:
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX – COURTYARD - NIGHT
As they regroup they move swiftly and quietly through the courtyard, racing to one hiding spot to another, dodging the moving cameras.
The destination is the main entrance.
EXT. MILITARY COMPLEX - MAIN ENTRANCE - NIGHT
BF-#2 moves up and studies the door control panel. He pries off the facing and starts clipping on the bypass wires.
The wind roars around the Complex. BF-#5 makes a connection. The door slides open. A shaft of brilliant light pierces the swirling rain.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX – CORRIDOR ENTRANCE - NIGHT
The team moves quietly through the brilliant light corridor, so far no ones around.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX – CORRIDOR – NIGHT
Their weapons move from side to side, they’re ready for anything. Suddenly BF-#1 clenches up a raised fist……
The team instantly freezes in the midst of the corridor.
They hear the sound of two males talking close by, the foot steps are moving close to the them.
CUT TO:
The two guards head towards the team, as they turn the corner, with only a split-second, both guards have falling to the silent barrage of gunfire by BF-#1 and BF-#3. Blood shoots out from the back of their heads, the bodies fall, the team moves on, walking over their kill.
SERIES OF SHOTS WITHIN THE COMPLEX:
BF-#2 and BF-#4 come up from behind two guards, which are unaware of the intruder’s presents. BF-#2 and BF-#4 with thought-speed grab the guard’s neck and makes a deep slice across their throats, spilling blood all over the clean walls and floor.
BF-#5 quietly sneaks up from behind a kid-like guard, and suddenly CRUNCH!
And with The X-ray "bone-breaking" sequences, we see the kids’ neck break into many pieces, killing him quick and easy. End sequence.
ANGLE ON TWO GUARDIANS:
BF-#1 and BF-#6, both wait behind on either side of the hall, waiting for two guards to pass them, as the guards walk pass them, BF-#1 and BF-#6 IMPALE their blades that comes through the back of their spines and out of their chest. Blood shoots out from the wound as they pull the blades out, making a slurping sound.
BF-#3 waits behind another corner, throwing knives in her hands, she comes out of hiding, and with thought-speed, she throws two throwing knives into a guard’s throat, blood squirts out from small openings of the wound.
END OF SHOTS:
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX – CORRIDOR – NIGHT
Two guards, heavily armed, they stand in front of us, suddenly.
SWISS! SLICE!, Their heads are severed from their bodies, which fall to the floor, blood sprays all over the corridor, behind the falling bodies, is BF-#1 and BF-#6, and their blood dripping swords, and behind them, are the rest of the team.
They continue to movie through the complex, examining every corner, every doorway they come across.
BF-#1 stops at an oncoming corridor that breaks off into two sides. On the wall in front of them, is a sign that reads:
CONTROL ROOM A1, NANO LAB A2:
BF-#1 stops at the corner of the corridor. He pulls out a cable wire, which he connects one end to his goggles, on the other end has a little camera; he slides the small camera to the edge of the corner.
BF-#1’S POV:
The high-tech goggle switches to the camera’s feed, finding two guards at the end of the corridor, guarding the Nano Lab door.
BF-#1 turns to his team, gives the hand signals for two hostiles, BF-#3 and BF-#2 nod their heads and move to the front.
The men guarding the door seem to be board, a lame ass job, but after tonight, they’d wish they never took this job.
With the BLINK of an eye, BF-#2 and BF-#3 dash out from behind the corridor, raising their silencers, aim, BLABLAM! BLABLAM!, the quiet barrage of gun fire, leaves no echo to hear, just the sound of empty shells dropping to the floor along with the two dead guards, who’s blood smears all over the walls.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - CORRIDOR TO NANO LAB - NIGHT
BF-#1 comes out from the corner, followed by the rest of his team, he signals three of them to head to the control room. While the others follow him to the Nano Lab, he pulls out his silencer, aiming it high at the door, to the Nano Lab.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NANO LAB - NIGHT
The Nano Lab is sleek, gleaming and cool, the white lights around the room tells us that this is a clean establishment. The men and women in white lab coats work hard at their job, but unaware of the danger that’s standing outside their door.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NANO LAB ENTRANCE - NIGHT
BF-#1 signals BF-#2 to the door. We see him coming up to the door, placing an anti personal mine on the door.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - CONTROL ROOM A1 - NIGHT
A guard sits there, surrounded by a bank of monitors, when suddenly, we hear a DEEP SLICE! A knife slices the guard’s throat, blood spills all over the floor, making a large puddle of blood. BF-#3 holds the bloody knife and whips it on the dead guards shoulder, pushing the body out of the chair, BF-#3 sits down, in front of BF-#4 and 5.
BF-#3 looks at only one monitor, the Nano Lab monitor, seeing dozens of lab workers.
BF-#3 press down on her Com Link.
BF-#3
(Into Com Link)
Proceed.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NANO LAB ENTRANCE - NIGHT
BF-#1, signals BF-#2, he arms the anti personal mine, BEEP, they move back to the corridor for cover.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NANO LAB - NIGHT
KABOOM! An ear-splitting explosion, tearing not only our ears apart, but tearing apart the door, shaking the lab workers off their feet and onto the floor.
Through the smoke and wreckage come THE WHOLE TEAM MOVES IN, aiming at everything that’s moving, mainly the helpless lab workers, who struggle to get to their feet. The team yells out various words to the lab workers.
VARIOUS VOICES
Get down! On your knees, get on your fucking knees, now, now.
The lab workers obey their armed intruders, they all look bruised by the explosion, but also scared shitless, frighten, fearing for their lives.
BF-#1 takes off his mask, revealing his true identity for the first time. His name is Patrick Raijin, mid 30’s, handsome, tough, years of service has made him a Senior Guardian, faithful and loyal to the Commonwealth.
The other team mates take off their mask, as we go down the line.
(BF-#6)Nyssa Tsujimura, early 30’s, Asian, beautiful, sniper specialist.
(BF-#5)Jak Tomko, a freighting, rugged, muscular bull of a man.
(BF-#3)Kira Rasczak, a gorgeous blonde, with a deadly skill of handling knives, she’s the one who sliced the guards’ throat in the control room.
(BF-#4)Niobe Tanchenko, Asian, younger then the rest of the group.
And (BF-#2) Eko Ro’Sava, a slight angular Latin American, from the bad part of the Commonwealth. The scar on the left side of his face, tells us, he’s been in plenty of battles.
The lab workers try to keep their cool, but it’s hard to when someone’s got a gun to your face. They all look frighten. One of the lab worker’s tries to get an answer from Patrick.
LAB WORKER
What’s going on? Who the hell are you people?
Patrick walks to Lab worker 1, pressing the gun barrel against the lab workers head.
PATRICK
(Serious)
Where is it?
LAB WORKER
Where’s what?
With no straight answer, BLAM!, Patrick pops a cap in the lab workers head, blood splatters on the other lab workers, which really FREAKS THEM OUT, even more terrorized. The Guardians remain quiet, still, like this isn’t new to them.
Patrick moves to a crying female lab worker, places the smoking gun barrel to her forehead. And repeats the question.
PATRICK
(Even more serious)
Where?
FEMALE LAB WORKER
(Pointing to a secure door)
It’s in there
Patrick notes the unmarked secure door at the far end.
PATRICK
(To his squad)
Watch ‘em.
He crosses to the door, while his squad watches the lab workers, very carefully.
The door is wide and thick with steel. He grabs a badge on a table near the door and scans it into the laser.
SENSOR
ID Confirmed: Steven Wood
ACCESS DENIED
Patrick heads back to the hostages.
PATRICK
Who has access to that room back there?
The hostages still shake and shiver in fear, one of them has the courage to raise his hand.
Patrick walks towards him.
PATRICK
Do you have your badge with you?
The shaky lab worker nods his head.
PATRICK
Give it to me.
The lab worker reaches into his pocket, and pulls out his badge, and extends it to Patrick, who just stands there looking sadistic.
PATRICK
That’s not enough.
The lab worker looks confused, and before we know it, with lighting-speed, Patrick severs the lab workers hand, SCREAMING from the top of his lungs, his hand it’s the floor, still holding onto his badge, blood shots out from the clean-cut, like a geyser.
The other lab workers turn away in fear and sickness, as these people are CRAZY AS HELL.
Patrick picks up the hand and walks back to the secure door.
Patrick is back at the door, this time with two items.
He pulls the badge and scans it.
SENSOR
ID Confirmed: Laurence Keller
It slides open, revealing a hand-imprint pressure pad.
SENSOR
Please provide DNA verification.
Patrick takes the lab workers severed hand and places it against the pressure pad. BEAT

DNA verification confirmed.
The door finally slides open. Patrick CHUCKS the hand, and enters.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX – SECURE LAB - NIGHT
Patrick enters the room, he stands in front of his mission objective, a canister filled with red-liquid, and sparkling specs that twinkle like a star.
Nano-cells.
--it floats in mid-air, rotating slowly in the center of the room.
Patrick circles the canister of nano-cells with nervous tension. Not worried of the consequences that this technology can bring, he follows his orders, and takes it, and leaves.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - NANO LAB - NIGHT
Patrick comes out, holding up the canister, walking towards his squad.
PATRICK
(Pleased)
Jackpot!
The squad is pleased.
PATRICK (CONT'D)
Let’s move out!
JAK
(Re: to the lab workers)
What about them?
Patrick stops at the doorway, turning back to see the lab workers ONE LAST TIME.
PATRICK (Very cold)
Kill ‘em
(Turning to Nyssa)
Nyssa.
She nods her head, she knows what to do. Patrick walks away, with the canister. The lab workers are even more scared, this is very disturbing, just thinking of it is hard to bare.
Nyssa stands over the lab workers, she gives them a speech.
NYSSA
Under article 39 section B., Unauthorized government science is consider treason to Commonwealth, punishable by death.
The five Guardians, take aim, and in straight execution, BLAM!BLAM!BLAM!BLAM!, Barrage of rapid fire, piercing the lab workers coat, and their flesh, consent blood splattering, dying screams of mercy, from those who don’t die right away, but suffer in pain.
INT. MILITARY COMPLEX - CORRIDOR - NIGHT
The gunshots can be heard from the distance, Patrick rounds the corner, walking down the hall straight at us, the complex goes quiet, and the screen fades away to a white frame, and goes from FULLSCREEN to WIDESCREEN, as the opening credits begin:
-suddenly blood splatters on the right and left side of the white frame. The title fades in:
“PROJECT NANO”
