Chronicles of the Apocalypse (2011)

In the Kronos facility, Ryan is trying to look at the data of a machine called the Oasis. A Caucasian-American woman in her early twenties wearing a lab coat enters his lab.

Regina: Dr. Fenix?

Ryan: yes, Dr. Walters?

Regina: Our doctors have discovered a typical cellular activity in Venoms fluids.

Ryan: well. That's gonna have to wait. I'm working on something....

Regina: Sir. With all due respect, are you sure using your own brother's blood to cure this plague?

Ryan: Because my brother's blood could be the key to saving the planet too....Burton wants to use it for a super soldier serum...I didn't tell Kronos about this.... It could also mean my one-way ticket from Kronos Industries. They've forced me into doing horrible things. Some I admit I'm responsible for so many deaths of innocents. Even my own student turned against me.

For a moment, Ryan looks at the picture of Dante, Amanda and Harry.

Regina: Have you ever talked to the General about your resignation?

Ryan sarcastically laughs

Ryan: You forget resignation for the Zeus Corps is not an option anymore.

Regina: Dr. Fenix, not every single death in the world was on you. Well, doctor, whatever you decide to do, I'll be right behind you.

Regina puts her hand on his shoulder and leaves. Ryan sits at his office with a depressed look on his face. Meanwhile, in Cratersville, the morning approaches, Dante wakes up from a dream involving Ryan and Burton in a Kronos Industries lab. He springs awake and grabs some spare clothes and heads out of the house to spot everyone in the city, either socializing or working on something. Ian approaches Dante with the clothes he wore in a basket.

Ian: excuse me, if you don't mind I washed your clothes while you were sleeping.

Dante takes his clothes out of the basket.

Dante: thanks. Where do they serve Breakfast?

Ian: Colin's place also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm Ian by the way. I'm the wash around this friendly little town.

Dante: Thanks.

Dante walks down to the Saloon, and spots Killen eating breakfast with James and Colin. Dante walks over to their table and sits.

Dante: hey, guys.

Colin: Morning, Dante.

Killen: Did you enjoy your sleep?

Dante: Tried to. You seen Nathan and his sisters?

Killen: Well, Sarah's here, but she's in the bathroom.

Dante: I didn't know you served breakfast.

James: well, we open early. That way we make people feel like we're still human. Ya know like IHOP or Dellys?

Dante: Oh....IHop....best pancakes we had around town back in the day....only went there when my wife burned the pancakes...

Colin: (laughs)

Sarah comes out of the bathroom getting her apron on and walks to their table.

Sarah: Killen, uh, Nathan called me through the radio saying that he spotted something he wants us down there.

Killen gets up from his seat and shakes Colin's hand.

Killen: alright, well, I'd better check this out.

Killen walks out the saloon as Dante turns to Colin and James.

James: So....Dante, you find any interesting women around here lately?

Dante: Uh....no....I was married one to a very beautiful woman...

James: Was?

Dante: Yeah...was..

Colin slaps the back of James' head, before he checks his watch.

Colin: ah, its 9:00, better tell them that Breakfast ends in two hours.

Colin leaves as James and Dante start talking.

Dante: so how long have you known Killen?

James: A few years...he's a cool dude...

Dante: and you have other siblings. Killen said you have another brother.

James: Yeah, I'm the baby. Like Ashley. She's a kid.

Dante: yeah, that's definitely the teenager years.

James laughs.

Dante: So what's about this wasteland I should know about?

Before James can answer, suddenly, an alarm is sounded as they jump out from their seats. Nathan on the intercom speaks.

Nathan: Attention, all Cratersville citizens, Blood Hogs inbound. I repeat, Blood Hogs inbound.

Dante and James head out of the saloon as they head to the balcony of the saloon.

Dante: them again?!

James: What now?!

Outside of Cratersville, 15 men Blood Hogs including Razor drive to the city. As Cratersville sniper man authorizes the gatemen to open the gate. Killen, Luke and Nathan watch from the balcony as the Blood Hogs approach with Nathan using his binoculars

Killen: Blood Hogs? How many?

Nathan hands Luke the binoculars.

Nathan: bout 15. Razor's with them.

Killen: What do they want now? We've paid them about every month.

Nathan: What they always want.....

Luke: to remind us that that they still run us like dogs.

The 15 Blood Hogs step off from their bikes and enter the city, where Luke, Walter, Jacob, Nathan, Ian and another Cratersville shooter, Davis are standing with pistols and assault rifles in front of them. Razor approaches them with a giant man with armor standing behind him along with a thin African American man.

Luke: Razor.

Razor: Stahl. Fine weather we're having. After all it is the middle of winter.

Luke: What do you want? We've paid you last month and real early.

Razor: yeah, you did, but you see, I want food. My people want food. We've also had two of our prisoners in the tunnels escape, so we need some more guns and probably hookers too.

Nathan: We've only got enough for ourselves for the winter. Go get your own food and guns, man.

Razor: Lukey Boy, do you do your talking or do you let your bitches speak for you?

Nathan walks toward him, but Davis holds him back.

Davis: Easy, man.

Luke: Despite my son's attitude, he's right. We've only got enough for ourselves.

Razor: do you remember what would happen if you didn't pay your mortgage with food or caps? I let you keep this piece of shit city as long as you pay your rent every 17th every month. I chop up motherfuckers who don't pay their rent.....who don't pay their taxes.....if they don't.....well....Biggy....

Biggy cocks his assault rifle.

Walter: If you're ready to throw down....

Ian: then we're ready.

Biggy: yo, Razor let me smoke this fool.

Razor: no, we don't use violence. We use persuasion. Perhaps, I should take another few of your precious women here... I hear one of your daughters is now legal of age. Does that mean she's available for pole dancing?

Luke punches Razor in the face, causing to Blood Hogs to react by aiming their weapons at the Cratersville Survivors.

Razor: Don't shoot! Hold your fire! Fuck!

Luke: you watch your tongue about my daughters. You don't go near them.

Razor: Like I said. I don't use violence, but (spits out blood) in your case.

Razor pulls out his gun and puts it to Luke's forehead.

Razor: Nathan, you ready to run this town, because you're about to be the new Mayor.

Nathan: (aiming his pistol at Razor) Dad....

Luke: Easy, son....See, now, you do that, Razor. And my friend in the stands with the sniper, Billy...is gonna blow your brains out.

Razor, looks up at Billy, who has his sniper rifle aimed at his head. Razor, amused, grins, before letting his gun down.

Razor: agh! I'm not going to kill you, Luke.

Razor lets down his gun hand.

Razor: But I am going to kill one your friends.

Razor suddenly raises his gun hand up and shoots Davis in the head.

Dante: oh my god!

Ian: Davis!

Jacob: You son of a motherfucker!

Jacob opens fire, killing four men, but Razor dodges to the barricade. Biggy is shot in the shoulder. The man on the left side of Razor is shot in the chest. Luke and Nathan take cover as Walter is grazed in the shoulder. A brutal firefight ensues resulting in many Cratersville, and Blood Hogs killed. Thomas hears the gunfire through their cell walls.

Thomas: Hey, man! Hey! Let us out!

Mac: Shut up!

Some bullets get through the walls as Thomas duck while some of the prisoners are killed.

Dante: these guys are crazy.

James hands Dante an SMG.

James: no shit! You can shoot right?!

Dante shoots an incoming Blood Hog with an SMG behind James, and shoots him twice in the chest.

Dante: I guess so...

James: now's the time to make shots count.

Dante shoots at the Blood Hog down below. Luke and Nathan runs to Sarah and Ashley, who is holding a pistol.

Sarah: Dad! Nathan!

Ashley: Guys, what the hell is going on?

Luke: Blood Hogs. Put your gun down; you and Sarah go make sure the kids are alright.

Ashley: But you guys need everyone out there.

Nathan: No, Ashley, it's too hot out there!

Ashley: Dammit, people are gonna die.

Luke: Ashley, I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. Go.

Sarah: Come on, Ashley....come on...

Ashley, annoyed, walks off as Sarah runs with her as Luke and Nathan turns around, heading back towards the fight. Outside, Few Cratersville citizens die, but four Blood Hogs are killed in the battle. Ben and Billy are seen shooting at the Blood Hogs, killing a few. However, Ben is fatally shot through the chest, forcing Billy to tend to him.

Billy: Ben! Ben! Hang on, son! Hold on!

Despite Billy's best attempts, Ben dies to his wounds. Biggy shoots down citizens grabs few Cratersville citizens, and snap their necks. Killen and Colin, shooting at the Blood Hogs with their weapons including Colin's crossbow, spot Biggy's rampage.

Killen: Big guy, I got him.

Colin: Killen, no!

Killen jumps from the railing and climbs onto a motorcycle and drives straight toward Biggy. Biggy uses his last shotgun round to shoot the tires, causing it to crash. Killen gets up from the crash, as Biggy grabs a Cratersville fighter and throws it at him. Killen dodges him, but Biggy throws a few punches that Killen dodges hits him in the stomach, and punches him in the face. Biggy back fist Killen, but Killen dodges his next swing, and kicks him in the gut. Killen staggers away. Biggy grabs a large wooden plank, and swings it at him. Killen grabs a pole and duels with him, managing to get two hits, even with his feet and fist. Biggy knocks the pole out his hands, and hits Killen in the temple of his head, with the plank, breaking it into splinters. Killen falls to the ground, as Biggy prepares to stab Killen with the plank, but Killen grabs the car door, and the wood plank goes through, missing Killen, who then grabs a nearby spear and impales Biggy in the abdomen. Biggy punches Killen in the face and removes the Spear from his abdomen. Biggy begins to beat Killen with the broken spear, until Killen cuts his hand off with a machete, and stabs him in the chest. Biggy kneels and grabs Killen by the neck, but succumbs to his wounds. Killen laughs in relief. Killen looks up at Colin, who nods and laughs.

Colin: Crazy sumbitch!

Killen: That's how you do it!

All the other Blood Hogs are shot and killed in the fight, except for Razor, who grabs a rocket launcher and aims it at the gas tank near Killen. Dante spots this and tries to shoot at Razor, but his gun chamber clicks as Dante tosses the pistol away. Dante then runs at Razor and tackles him down. Razor stands up and pulls out his machete, swinging at Dante twice, who dodges. Razor then punches Dante, knocking him down. Razor prepares to strike Dante, until Colin shoots Razor in the back with his crossbow while Dante kicks Razor in the face as Killen grabs a pipe and breaks Razor's right leg with it. Colin and Killen then approach the crawling Razor.

Colin: Razor...you fucking piece of shit....

Razor: Burton....Stonequest...no hard feelings?

Colin: Nah...

Colin shoots an arrow into Razors other leg.

Razor: Agh! Fuck!

Colin: It's been a while....so you mind telling us why you're disturbing our peace?

Razor: It ain't what it seems. Y-you guys did pay on time...but something came up...just listen to me okay?

Colin: "something came up"?

Razor: It's not that, okay? I got-

Killen approaches Razor and hits Razor in the nose with the butt of his shotgun, breaking his nose.

Razor: Fuck!

Killen then kneels and holds Razor's left arm down.

Razor: Fucking stop! Stop! Jesus!

Colin: Shut the fuck up....you were saying....

Razor: I was set up.

Colin: What?

Razor: I know it sounds like bullshit, but it's not. I was set the fuck up! I swear on my mother's grave on that!

Colin backhands Razor.

Colin: Never swear on your mother's grave. Half of anyone left on this godforsaken earth don't have mothers anymore.

Razor: It's the fucking truth!

Killen: Yeah and I was fucking the tooth fairy last night.

Colin: All right, if you were set up, then who told you to attack us?

Razor: I can't...they'll kill me...

Colin: Killen.

Razor: I just-

Killen breaks Razors arm in three places.

Razor: Shit! Fucking!

Colin: Who told you to attack us?

Razor: (crying) Kronos....It was fucking Kronos!

Colin: Kronos?

Killen: Why?

Razor: Fuck if I know, man...their Captain chased me and backed me into a corner! Paid me in two billion caps, promised me and my people my own land! they just told me to arrive here guns blazin! Look....you guys don't have to do this....I mean you could just send me back....yeah...hell, I won't even charge you guys for next month...C'mon....It's a dog eat dog world right? Just let me live...please...don't make me beg...

Colin and Killen look at each other for a moment before laughing. Razor laughs nervously along with them.

Colin: (laughing) That's a pretty...fucking stupid idea...

Killen cocks his shotgun and aims it at Razor.

Razor: No! Wait! I can-let me live.....Please...

Colin: Wait, Killen...(kneels) why should we?

Razor: You wouldn't just kill in a surrendering man in cold blood.

Colin: No, we won't.....but you will be executed in old fashion style.

Razor is arrested by Killen and escorted.

Killen: We'll figure out how we'll execute you later.

Colin walks over to Dante.

Colin: You okay?

Dante: I'll live....that guy...that's who Killen and I escaped from....

Colin: yeah...he won't be bothering us again...
