*X, Jade, Actus Mortis, The Reaper, Pyrobolt and Poison Kisses sit around the apartment*
Poison Kisses - “This is our lair?”
The Reaper - “Yes, do you have a problem?”
Poison Kisses - “It’s a bit tacky if you ask me.”
X - “I think… for now… we just have to accept this.”
*Jade ignores everyone, sitting alone at a table, playing with her knife*
The Reaper - “So… this is.. Instead of The X’ers… The X Team?”
Poison Kisses - “Can I just say… I don’t support that name choice. I’m SORRY, but I feel like… if we’re all a team… having only one of our names in the team name is kinda selfish and tyrant-ey? Is that just me?”
PyroBolt - “I kinda see where she’s coming from, I can’t lie.”
Jade - “Who gives a shit about what our name is?”
*Everyone looks at Jade*
Jade - “The Protectors hurt us. Took EVERYTHING from us. Family, friends, our building. Our very existence was compromised and hurt by them. Our team name doesn’t matter. What matters is… we strike a plan. And we destroy them.”
*PAUSE*
Poison Kisses - “So… I hear you and everything, but I still don’t think we should be called The X Team. I just don’t love it.”
[THE PROTECTORS 2 : THE RISE OF X.]
*ON PLANET MORO, IN A CASTLE*
*Princess Maliyah stares out of a window, depressed eyes, frowning*
*King Raja barges in, and Princess Maliyah turns around, gasping*
King Raja - “It’s time for us to wed.”
Princess Maliyah - “My father will be coming. He will kill you. You are a vile being.”
*King Raja smiles and stomps over to her, grabbing her wrist and drags her out of the room*
Princess Maliyah - “HELP! HELP! HELP!”
*There’s a bang outside of the room, causing King Raja to pause. Princess Maliyah elbows him in the gut, and breaks out of his grasp, running over to the window. She notices a spaceship land on a dock, and Moontwist, Magnus and Darkadia exit the ship. Quickly they run out of their ship, towards the castle, shooting armies of people who try to stop them*
Princess Maliyah smiles - “HELP ME! OVER HERE!”
*King Raja grabs her again, as she tries to scrape her way out of his grip*
Princess Maliyah - “HELP ME! HELP ME!”
//
*Moontwist notices Princess Maliyah getting dragged away, and she jumps up, and starts flying towards the Castle. She flies through the window. She takes her ray gun out and runs down the hallway, following where Princess Maliyah was taken*
Moontwist - “BRING HER BACK TO ME, KING RAJA. Or else, I will get her back myself. I will go through you, if need be.”
*DOWN THE HALL*
*King Raja is holding Princess Maliyah, covering her mouth with his hands, but she suddenly unhinges her jaw and bites into his hand, and as he lets go as a result, she jolts her head back, into his face, and escapes his grasp, running down the hallway*
Princess Maliyah - “I’M OVER HERE!”
*Moontwist sprints down the hall and gets to her, and as King Raja stands up, Moontwist stands in front of Princess Maliyah, and aims her gun at King Raja*
Moontwist - “Take one step closer and you’ll be dead.”
*King Raja puts his hands up, surrendering*
*Moontwist smiles, and turns around towards Princess Maliyah*
Moontwist - “You’re coming with me.”
*King Raja starts sprinting towards Moontwist, but she turns around and shoots him, expecting the sneak attack*
*IN SPACE, ON MOONTWIST’S SPACESHIP*
*Moontwist, who is Captain of the ship, Magnus, Darkadia and Princess Maliyah are on the spaceship, hurtling through space*
Moontwist - “Maliyah, we were hired by your father to rescue you and bring you back. In case you were wondering.”
Princess Maliyah - “Anywhere that isn’t with that creep Raja is fine by me.”
Moontwist - “Well, he’s dead now. Magnus, where are our current whereabouts?”
Magnus, tapping a screen, going through a map of planets and stars - “Fastly approaching star Rialta. But a force of impact seems to be approaching our ship, we should veer off quickly, or else we could be compromised.”
Princess Maliyah - “Compromised? That sounds bad. My dad won’t be happy if we are compromised.”
Moontwist - “Don’t worry about it. This type of thing happens all the time. It’s space.”
Magnus - “It is coming VERY close to us, though. We need to act fast.”
Moontwist - “I don’t get it, if it’s coming close to us… wouldn’t we be able to...-”
*The window in the front of the ship quickly turns orange, entirely. Radiating through the entire ship. Quickly it heats up, and they all start to sweat, as they look out and see a gigantic fireball hurtling towards their ship*
*Moontwist quickly tries to steer their ship away from it, as it is about four times the size of their ship, but ultimately it makes contact, and their ship falls apart and starts racing downwards, towards a specific planet*
*EARTH*
*The ship crashlands in the middle of a dessert*
*Moontwist wakes up first, then Magnus, then Darkadia and then Princess Maliyah*
Princess Maliyah - “So… our ship… is broken.”
Magnus - “Hypothetically, it could be worse. But it is enough damage to strand us here for the time being.”
Darkadia - “This isn’t the WORST case scenario, though. We all did survive, let’s celebrate that.”
Princess Maliyah starts crying - “I JUST WANT TO BE WITH MY DADDY.”
Magnus - “Big yikes.”
Darkadia - “What planet are we on?”
Magnus - “We know it as Rialta’s Planet, but it is referred to here as Earth. I’ve been here before, it kinda sucks, but we will be able to manage. This is a planet with life on it, though. Some of which… might be aware of our presence.”
Moontwist - “What do you mean?”
Magnus - “The Protectors are on this planet.”
Moontwist - “Who are they?”
Magnus - “This planet’s heroes. I used to know one.”
*THE PROTECTOR’S BUILDING*
*Alexa Rose is sitting at her desk, with a dagger out, stabbing the desk in front of her*
*Sensor walks over to her*
Sensor - “What are you thinking about?”
Alexa Rose - “Do you ever just… get a bad feeling? Like everything that is going right is just… going to start going wrong? And that you just won’t be able to stop it?”
Sensor - “Alexa Rose, what are you talking about?”
Alexa Rose - “We’ve finally figured out our situations. Everything has been going well for months. We’ve moved on after the war… and I don’t think it will be lasting. I don’t think it’s possible.”
Sensor - “Alexa Rose, do you need a day off or something?”
Alexa Rose - “No, you don’t understand.”
*Sensor sighs*
Alexa Rose - “Are you undermining me right now?”
Sensor - “No, I’m listening to you. You’re just making no sense.”
Alexa Rose - “I knew you wouldn’t understand. But when everything goes to shit, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
*Sensor nervously stares at Alexa Rose, before walking away*
*Neuron walks over to Alexa Rose*
Alexa Rose - “What?”
Neuron - “I feel the same way as you, I think.”
Alexa Rose - “Oh really? How do you figure?”
Neuron - “Well, I have a theory.”
Alexa Rose - “Can you spit it out? If you’re going to tell me something just say it-”
Neuron - “We forgot about X.”
Alexa Rose - “Huh?”
Neuron - “When my mom… passed… she did it after killing X Caliber. She sacrificed herself to kill him… but she only cut off the head of the snake. There’s still a body.”
Alexa Rose - “You think a 12 year old created the next big threat team in the City?”
Neuron - “He’s like… 16.”
*Alexa Rose rolls her eyes*
Neuron - “Come on. You think he’s just going to be quiet and leave us alone after we killed his father?”
Alexa Rose - “I don’t know. It’s possible.”
Neuron - “I just think we need to be careful.”
*IN A BUILDING*
*Hydra, Kano, Gia Versace, Eros and Hurricane sit in a room*
Hurricane - “We are going to storm The Protectors building, and find this man.” *he takes out a picture, and shows them Light Storm* “And kill the rest of them.”
Hydra - “I love the plan… but what will we do with…” *points at the picture* “Him?”
Hurricane - “Kidnap him.”
Hydra - “Does he have powers?”
Hurricane - “Yes.”
Hydra - “Then I want to kill him.”
Hurricane - “No.”
Gia Versace - “Why are we killing anyone? I don’t get this.”
Hydra - “Shut up, Versace. Think of our endgame plan.”
*Eros and Kano silently observe this conversation*
Gia Versace - “What’s our endgame plan?”
Hydra - “The more supers gone, the better. The Protectors are the… army of supers.”
Gia Versace - “I think that’s YOUR endgame plan, NOT mine.”
Hurricane - “This-” *points at the picture of Light Storm* “Is someone we NEED.”
Hydra - “No, actually. It’s someone YOU need. I don’t need anyone.”
Gia Versace - “Then why are you in this group?”
Hydra - “AMAZING question. Maybe I should leave. So I can kill-” *picks up the photo* “This bitch. Along with the rest of the Protectors.” *walks towards the exit, but Hurricane quickly runs over, and blocks the door*
Hurricane - “Hydra, wait.”
Hydra - “Listen. We don’t have to kill every Protector, but I’ve been transparent about my endgame goals. My plan is… do a little massacre, and the remaining ones start getting… messier. They become reckless. And they outcast themselves, and the world becomes angry. And The Protectors… once beloved. Become the most hated people… not in America. On Earth.”
*Hurricane sighs*
Hydra, flinging the picture of Light Storm in Hurricane’s face - “If this boy… gets in my way. I will kill him.”
*Hydra walks by Hurricane, throwing the picture in the trash on her way out*
Gia Versace - “What is her problem?”
Hurricane - “I don’t know, but… she’s going to be a problem.”
*LATER*
*Eros and Kano sit alone at the table*
Eros - “This group is not going to last.”
Kano - “No chance.”
Eros - “But, I don’t know what I’ll do when it breaks up. I don’t know what side I’ll take. Where I’ll go. What I’ll do.”
Kano - “If our group falls apart. We don’t need to pick a side. We can be our own group.”
Eros - “I don’t know how this could end.”
Kano - “You never do. But having a partner is better than not.”
Eros - “We’re thinking too far ahead.”
Kano - “Being prepared is never a bad thing.”
*Eros slightly nods*
*OUTSIDE*
*Hydra stomps down the street, and is stopped by Hurricane*
Hydra - “WHAT?”
Hurricane - “THIS IS MY SON.” *shows her the picture of him, Light Storm and Dark Storm*
Hydra - “Okay?”
Hurricane - “That’s why we need him. He will be on our side.”
Hydra - “You’ve known my plan. I’ve been transparent with my plan. I don’t need more people-”
Hurricane - “Listen. Please. He will do your dirty work for you. He’s a Protector, isn’t he? And he’s powerful.”
Hydra - “How am I supposed to trust a Protector to sabotage his own team?”
Hurricane - “I’m his father. He will listen to me. I can handle him.”
Hydra - “You know what. I will give you 48 hours to have a family reunion. If you don’t get him on our side. I am going forward with my plan.” *stomps away*
*Hurricane shrugs, as Dark Storm emerges from the shadows of an alleyway*
Dark Storm - “Father.”
*Hurricane turns his head, shocked to see Dark Storm*
Dark Storm - “What’s her plan? Who was that? What are you doing here?”
Hurricane - “I know you have questions-“
Dark Storm - “And you owe me some answers.”
Hurricane - “Can we wait until I can speak to your brother?”
Dark Storm - “I’ll go with you to him.”
*Hurricane shrugs and nods. They start walking towards The Protectors building together*
*PYROBOLT’S HOME*
*PyroBolt walks inside, quickly being approached by Thundro hugging his leg*
Thundro - “UNCLE PYRO!”
PyroBolt - “Hey, boy! Where’s your momma? And that’s Dann to you. Not Pyro!”
*Minera walks over to PyroBolt*
Minera - “Where were you today? You said... if I let you live with me you won’t do anything that would get us involved in another conflict. You promised me.”
PyroBolt - “I was just hanging out with some friends I don’t know what you want me to say.”
Minera - “I love you, little brother, but… I know what happened last time. I know you were apart of it. I know you were there. And because of that… I don’t know if I can trust you when you say you’re just doing nothing.”
*PyroBolt exhales*
PyroBolt - “Mikey, go play with your legos.”
Thundro - “It’s THUNDRO.”
PyroBolt - “Sorry, Thundro. Go play with your legos.”
*Thundro nods and runs over to his playbin*
PyroBolt - “I think you should sign him up to take classes. For his powers.”
Minera - “Changing the subject? Really?”
PyroBolt - “You know if he isn’t trained how horribly wrong it could go.”
Minera - “I want to teach him NOT to use his powers. He deserves a normal life. But you can’t change the subject on me like that…”
PyroBolt - “You are worrying about me over nothing, and not worrying about Thundro when he could destroy the city right now if we wanted to.”
Minera - “If I get Thundro to take classes, you have to stop being stupid and disassociate with whatever team you’re associated with now.”
*PAUSE*
PyroBolt - “Deal.”
*LATER*
*PyroBolt leaves the house and immediately calls Poison Kisses*
PyroBolt - “Hey, do you know what time our next meeting is at?”
Poison Kisses - “Like after midnight tonight.”
PyroBolt - “Perfect. My sister can’t know I’m doing this.”
*THE PROTECTOR’S BUILDING*
*Vinata is training with Vexell*
Vinata - “I don’t understand why I have to train, mom. I literally went through the same training you did.”
Vexell - “No, I got you out of there. You could’ve been tortured for decades longer.”
Vinata - “That’s what this feels like.”
Vexell - “Don’t be dramatic.”
Vinata - “This sucks, mom.”
Vexell - “Can you… stop calling me mom. I’m 10 years older than you.”
Vinata - “You adopted me. You raised me. You are my mom.”
Vexell - “Do you want to fight or something?”
Vinata - “I want to be a Protector… or an X’er. I want to be apart of a team, like… I really think I’m ready.”
Vexell - “You'll be ready when I tell you you’re ready. And the X’ers are disbanded anyways.”
Vinata - “That’s not what people are saying.”
Vexell - “What people?”
*Marjorey, Alexa Rose and Neuron walk in*
Neuron - “Well, for starters, us.”
Vexell - “Hey, girls.”
Alexa Rose - “Sensor won't listen to us, but we all have concerns about our safety.”
Marjorey - “I’m not as convinced as these two, but I understand what they’re saying.”
Vexell - “What do you mean?”
Neuron - “I think X has a team. I know, I know.. he’s like 10, but I feel as though it’s possible. Think about it… would he really just watch his dad die and then move on… like, would any of us just move on?”
Vexell - “You did.”
Neuron - “That’s different. I know what my mom did. X Caliber was killed. My mom sacrificed herself. X has something to fight for now. Which is why… I think he’s going to come back.”
Alexa Rose - “I’m not necessarily convinced about all that, but I do think it’s something to consider. I’ve been feeling… on edge around the building lately. I think we’ve been too comfortable. Something is going to happen. I sense it.”
*Vinata bites her lip*
Vexell - “I do think it’s something to consider…” *nervously looks at Vinata*
*Vinata shrugs, not knowing how to react*
Vexell nods - “I’ll talk to Sensor, okay?”
*Alexa Rose nods*
Marjorey - “Do you think she’ll listen?”
Vexell - “Don’t worry about that.”
*IN THE PROTECTORS BUILDING*
*Violeta and Light Storm are sitting at a table together, Saint and Vyx sitting nearby them, as Eden, Europa and Tlaloc sit at a table nearby*
Light Storm - “Something’s wrong.”
Vyx - “What do you mean?”
Light Storm - “It’s been slow. Calm. Calm usually comes before a storm.”
*Violeta stands up and walks over to a window, as the weather suddenly shifts to dark*
Violeta - “A bit on the nose… but I think the storm is here.”
*LIght Storm stands up, shocked*
*Eden and Tlaloc walk up to the window, alongside Saint, Vyx and Europa*
Vyx - “Is that…”
Europa - “Dark Storm.”
*Light Storm runs up to the window, shocked at hearing his brother’s name*
Light Storm - “That’s my father… with my brother.” *stomps towards the exit*
Violeta - “I don’t know if you should go out there.”
Saint - “Violeta, let him go.”
*Sensor leaves her office to see what’s going on*
Saint to Violeta - “Family just has to handle itself. We can’t get involved.”
Violeta - “Thanks for the PSA, but if I don’t think it’s safe I’m going to speak up about it.”
Light Storm - “You’re an amazing friend, Violeta. But… it has to be done.”
Violeta - “It doesn’t, though… I can go with you, at least.”
Light Storm - “Everyone, stay back here. I will handle this.” *leaves*
Violeta shrugs - “Shit.”
Eden - “He knows what he’s doing.”
Violeta - “I don’t think he does.”
*OUTSIDE*
*Light Storm approaches Hurricane and Dark Storm*
Light Storm - “What are you doing here?”
Hurricane - “Can’t I just want to have a conversation with my two sons?”
Light Storm - “I can’t speak for Jack, but I’m assuredly not interested.”
Dark Storm - “Mac, it’s just one conversation. It can’t kill you.”
*Light Storm sighs, rolls his eyes and nods*
Hurricane - “Follow me.”
*Hurricane leads Light Storm and Dark Storm down the street*
*THE REAPER’S APARTMENT*
*There’s a bang on the door*
*X, who was sleeping on the couch, sits up and runs to the door to answer it, and on the other side is Magnus*
Magnus - “Hi, I’m new to town.. I’m staying at a hotel down the street… but I used to live nearby, and I think I know who used to live here-”
X - “You do, he’s my… business partner.”
Magnus - “You look like you’re 12.”
X - “If you really know my friend you would know that age is just a number in this business.”
Magnus - “Valid.”
X - “If you are here to work with my friend, you’re here to work with me. What do you need?”
Magnus - “I need you to help me…” *takes a picture out and hands it to him* “Find this woman… and help me destroy her.”
*X takes the photo and looks at it, immediately noticing Alexa Rose is the woman in the photo*
X - “Come in.”
*Magnus enters the room, and X closes the door.*
[THE PROTECTORS 2 : THE RISE OF X]
That was the premiere! Comment your thoughts, predictions and general reviews of the episode. A LOT is in store for this season, which is why it got extended from 8 episodes to 10! Hope you love it!
Comments
Family dynamic fir pyro is so great. Legit was smiling when eeading
Moontwist DID THAT! I truly love the spaceship storyline and all of the characters in it! Im also finally starting to like the protectors more *shocker* im rooting for the bad guys most of the time but they are becoming very likeable. I also got a bit lost in all these connections between the characters. Some of the plots with the relatives seem too forced, but i guess family oriented episodes is what we need to get to the good stuff.
