=Slayers (series)=

Plot
Two plots are present. One following a Slayer team consisting of three men, Iain Colfer, Michael Crenshaw and Mike Fishburne under the command of Major. It also follows the memories of one Slayer that had to take out a police officer that was close to revealing the method of acquiring SPARTAN-IIs.

Past

After Fish is put into a coma, he starts thinking about his life in his mind, cut off from people. The one event he regrets most is by the cause of the death of Bill Shackleton.

Fish is informed about a man that could compromise the secrets of the UNSC and cause inner conflict between humanity about its greatest weapons that could lead to their definite destruction. Fish is assigned a new name, Charlie Smith, and is given a new background as a police graduate being transferred to become Shackleton's partner and underdog.

...

Shackleton tells Fish he once saw a child being abducted while he was still a cop on the streets and tried to stop it, but was knocked unconscious. When he awoke, the young girl was still in its house, unharmed. But the concussion and bruise he had told him what he saw wasn't a hallucination. A few months later, still on the beat, he saw the mother of the child outside her house, crying. This child that had been strong and perfectly healthy had died in a few months from failure of her muscles and organs. Yet in school, she had held the record on the track and in several other sports. Finding this odd and far beyond coincidence, Shacko never let it go.

Days after this, he researches the moves of all militaries and government agencies stationed on his planet to look for the one used to knock him unconscious. He discovered it was used by several militaries and agencies, but what interested him most was that it was also used by ONI. Then he researched deaths of children on the planet's police database. He got thirteen million matches out of at least two billion children. Then he tightened the search and started running through eliminations for children in the same age group with the same time-frame of death. He got results and noted some of them were also very physically fit, abnormally so. When he was finally promoted to inspector, he used his clearance to expand the search to make it intercolonial and found even more results. Since then, one year ago, it's become something of a hobby case in the backburner of his mind as he goes through other crimes. When he has the evidence, he will find the truth.

...

Insurrectionists break into a UNSC base and steal ODST helmets and other armour and run amok. The police are brought in to support the troopts on sight and once everything is settled, Shacko takes the opportunity to interview Halsey in her lab, who was in charge of making the suits and experimental features. The interview goes smoothly and he compliments her on her work

...

Shacko demands to know what's going on and when Halsey refuses, he insists on travelling with her to Algolis.

...

A Covenant fleet of five capital ships surrounds Algolis. The UNSC defences fight them off, but smaller ships come through, heading straight for the facility housing Covenant weapons and ship parts for study.

...

Fish leaves shoots Shacko before he can enter the safehouse. With a Pelican coming in for evac, Cam volunteers to stay behind and tells them to run for it while he distracts them. A dying Shacko sees Cam fighting and his final words are "...The legacy of the UNSC." Halsey and Fish make it and Cam stays behind. For years after this, he leads the rebellion against the Covenant on Algolis.

...

Present

In the modern day, at the Slayer base/training camp, seven men stand close together with turrets aimed into the air. At the order of Major Bark, all guns are fired at once as a sign of respect and mourning for the death of Admiral Preston J. Cole.

Slayer Team Gamma discuss the display, saying it was an usually flashy event.

...

Major Bark orders Slayer Team Gamma to take out an Insurrectionist leader on his own turf and retrieve the data he acquired on the Covenant. These Insurrections have been living off UNSC and Covenant contraband, including Covenant weapons and ODST and marine gear. The Slayers acquire the data, but before they can kill him, things go wrong and Fish is injured, left comatose. In order to make sure no one finds out about what happened and that the Slayers were trying to take down the Inny leader, Bark orders them to dump Fish at a survivor's station on a recently attacked colony to make people think he was just another casualty.

Colfer blames himself for this and says he's going to transfer back to the ODSTs. Bark, however, has one last job for him; kill the Inny leader. Since one attempt has already been made on his life, security will be beefed up, but the major reinforcements haven't arrived yet, so they have to finish the job quickly under more dangerous circumstances. One of the main improvements is that they've brought out a stolen UNSC prototype armour called CQB. It can deflect most bullets but has many faults with it, such as optical range and mobility.

...

After Colfer has left, Bark informs Crenshaw that he's got a new mission for him. The Inny leader's information was pertaining to a Covenant ship carrying an Elite General. The Innies were planning to kidnap him and hold him to ransom for their lives, but the UNSC knows better than to try this. Instead, they're going to get every little back of information they can out of the general, then kill him and blow up the whole ship.

Episode 1 Script
Title Sequence: Title "Slayers" fades in from black, then opening scene fades in.

Scene: Shots of Slayers base on Standoff. Shows it is barren inside and in other areas while radio is playing.

Radio [sade tone]: "Today is July 28th, 2543. A day of mourning is being held for the Admiral Cole, who died this year on April 18th. UNSC forces everywhere have gathered to hold a seven gun salute in memorial to him and the hands that served with him that died at the Battle of Psi Serpentis. With the three minutes of silence over, the guns are scheduled to go off in- Oh, they've just started. Please, tip your hat and bow your head with me for Admiral Cole."

Scene: Outside Standoff base closest to the gate. Seven Slayers (reduce if you need to) holding detached turrets and pointing them up at the sky while Major Barker overlooks.

Major Barker [barking orders]: "Ready, men! Fire!"

Scene: Turrets all go off at once and after five seconds of this, it fades to the next scene.

Scene: Moving down shot of the Standoff base farthest from the gate. Slayer Team Gamma is standing on top of it Slayer. Crenshaw and Fish stand next to each other behind the barricade while Colfer is looking around while on the turret (still mounted). Then shot of Crenshaw and Fish behind barricade talking. Crenshaw is on the left of the camera, Fish is on the right.

Crenshaw: "[Slightly sarcastic.] Certainly was a big sendoff. [Irritated with knowing.] Guess the major finally found something to do with the ammo that's been clogging up inventory."

Fish [Unconcerned.]: "Yeah. How you reckon everyone's going to take this?"

Crenshaw: "I have no idea. Cole was like a sort of shining light for the marines on the front line out there. But these SPARTAN guys, they just might fill the gap. They fight like demons, but no way can they plan a battle like Cole could. I don't think he even planned that stuff. Just great improvisation."

Fish: "Think we'll get time off to greeve?"

Crenshaw: "[Sarcastic.] I don't know. Were you courting with him in private? [Serious and ticked off.] 'Course not, you idiot. [Strict.] You're always trying to find some way to get out of work. It's our job to do this. Deal with it. If we're lucky, we might just get a nice ugly Covey [pronounced: Cuvvee] to take out. We can shoot its body down to Harvest from a ship in memory of Cole. Maybe even tape a message to it saying, 'You're next alien freaks.'"

Scene: Shot of Colfer from the front as he's speaking.

Colfer: "You enjoy your monologues too much, Mick."

Scene: Shot of the left side of Colfer so you can see all three of them. Crenshaw is looking at Colfer while Fish is behind Crenshaw, watching the conversation.

Crenshaw: "Just been thinking of action a lot, lately."

Scene: Switch view to Crenshaw.

Crenshaw: "[Continuing from last sentence.] Cole's gone. We need to be a bit more aggressive and strike at them quick. There's no other Cole. The SPARTANs aren't going to win this war for us. No Helljumper trusts them and the marines will follow them."

Scene: Switch to shot of Colfer from the right side.

Colfer: "These SPARTANs have saved lives and won battles. They're getting more and more trust by the day. They're unstoppable. Like walking tanks that can think, plan, kill efficiently. They can do it flashy or behind closed doors. Scuttlebutt says they're invincible."

Scene: Right side of Colfer, just above the barrels of the turret, then about two feet back so you see all three.

Crenshaw: "[Argumentative.] Common sense says the same about the Covenant. [Admittingly.] They're good, I'll admit. They trump marines and ODSTs no problem. They can't be killed, apparently. But they do go MIA. I knew this guy named Dutch that said he'd fought with a SPARTAN and that it did die, so this MIA B-S has gotta be some sort of cover-up."

Scene: Shot of Colfer from the right.

Colfer: "You know, it's our job to shoot guys that spread rumours like the ones you're saying."

Scene: Back to previous shot.

Crenshaw: "[Cocky.] Please. I know every trick in the book. Try to silence me, I'll be waiting for you. But to get back to where I left off, this guy Dutch also took down a Prophet with that SPARTAN. [Eager and ready for action.] We need to be doing more of that. Killing the heads so the bodies go with them. We need to stop the Covenant."

Scene: Downward shot of outside the base they're on top of. Major Barker is looking up at them.

Barker: "You'll get your fill of their purple blood soon enough. But I'm afraid you'll be killing a someone and not a something for the moment."

Scene: Shot of all members of Slayer Team Gamma.

Fish: "The Insurrection again."

Scene: Frontal shot of Major Barker from the waist up, looking up at Slayer Team Gamma.

Barker: "[Sarcastic (as Hell).] Congratulations! You correctly answered the winning question tonight, Fishburne. Now you and the rest of your team get your asses down here and collect your prize."

Scene: Shot of all members of Slayer Team Gamma. Crenshaw says something to his squad, then walks over to the hill that leads down to the base then scene fades out as the next scene fades in.

Crenshaw: "Looks like 'Bark Worse Than His Bite' is on the war-path again. Let's move. Maybe he'll have something interesting for us."

Scene: Major Barker standing next to the base's computer (but you can't see it yet). You look at him from the front, but he's on the far left of the camera so you can see Slayer Team Gamma (now to be referred to as STG) walk in.
