Hyper Kill
The year is 2804.Old Earth's prime confederacy,the Union of Stars,has spent centuries of bitter warfare against the emerging races of the Galaxy.The latest threat comes from the distant planet Saalok 4.But after nearly thirty years of deep-space battles between both homo sapiens and these new hard-skinned creatures known as the Saaloki,the Saaloki warships soon diminish,before their fleets cease to traverse the voids of space to challenge mankind altogether.In a pure act of arrogance,the Union of Stars assumes the destruction of the Saaloki,and sends forth a lightly armoured research vessel to the Motar Prime fleet system within which Saalok 4 resides.The planet is found to be completely devoid of the Saaloki.An attempt is made to land upon the surface of the planet in an effort to discover the true cause of the disappearance of the mysterious race.Nothing more is heard from the research vessel,and all aboard are presumed dead.
When a distress message is received from the Motar Prime system,an immediate Combat Search and Rescue team is established,lead by Commander Darkshade.A veteran by nature,Darkshade has fought countless battles in the past,including the eradication of the Tomb Seers of Thoros,and the overthrow of Sol Karrade.His experience with the Saaloki is also well-rooted.Darkshade and his second in command,captain and best friend Kip Fontane,conduct the operation,and they and the 29 Collapsar troops under their care,board a limitship called the USIF Entrant and make a jump through arcspace,eventually reaching Saalok 4.Remaining in orbit around the planet for a day,Darkshade is unhappy with the lack of progress,and decides to land the ship,against his better judgment.
Saalok is a lush,jungle world alive with geothermal activity and occasional volcanic outbursts.The vegetation towers many hundred meters into the sky,and huge ancient and ruined Saaloki temples dot the landscape with their intricate and exotic architecture.All is quite save interraction from the local wildlife.Soon,the team stumble across the source of the distress message.It is the research vessel,crashed and seemingly destroyed.Darkshade is surprised to find three crew-members aboard ; Corproate Starship master Gordon Ortega and two scientists.Ortega tells how they were attack by a terrible foe for several successive nights,and that one of their crew-members,namely Cody Jetson,a female metastatics scientist,was captured and taken to a distant tower.
Darkshade insists on the rescue of Cody,but is surprised at Ortega's description of the enemy.It was not the Saaloki,but a new race implementing nanotechnology to create giant machines,a.i. and space-craft.Their travels then take them across Saaloki to the very cause of Saalok 4's strange history,and the unveiling of the Astrolith Anathema.
Hyper Kill 2 : Return of the Titan
Hyper Kill 2: Return of the Titan
Hyper Kill 2 is the second of the Hyper Kill trilogy.The film opens to a great expanse of space.With that,the screen is filled with a great scintillation of light a a ship is seen bursting out of arcspace.Darkshade,Fontane,Ortega and Jetson return to Old Earth with the intent of informing the Union of Stars of mankinds latest imminent threat,the Astrolith Anathema.
Being the second installment,hyper kill 2 follows many other trilodgy traditions in which the second film is moreso a relationship-building experience between viewer and characters,rather than an indepth plot development.This said,Hyper Kill 2's script hints of several climactic action sequences within the streets of New Los Angeles and in space.
With their return to Earth,the heores have precious little time to warn the Union of Stars before the A.A. arrive.HK 2 features much character development,including the addition of several new personas of both protagonistic and antagonistic association.Protagonists include space pirate Crash Dragonspear,low-life pimp Kayne Jackson,Magnus of the royal guard of the Union of Stars,a mysterious warrior called Solidthunder,and new love interest Eve Turner. Antagonists include the dreaded Dashhorror,the synthetic Torrent 4,quantum assassin Black Justice,and Shadowarc,once ally of Darkshade within the collapsar force long ago,presumed dead,but now returned to exact vengeance.
The first hour of the film deals mainly with the initial approach of the Astrolith Anathema,also revealing mankinds ignorance towards such threats.Several brief encounters occur,and Darkshade and company are forced to retreat below street level to the old streets of New L.A.,where they encounter Kayne Jackson and his rogue street-fighters.
By the second hour,the assault is well under way.Monstrous machines thunder through the streets of the city,and great buildings come thundering down.Magnus,a royal guard of the Union of Stars,is cut of from the Union Temple amidst the epic battle,and joins forces in trying to revive a dismantled E-bomb from beneath the city: left there after a failed terrorist attempt some years ago.The eletromagnetic pulse detonation of such magnitude is their last hope as the Anathem continue their devastating onslaught.Darkshade and Magnus make their way through the age-worn underworlds of L.A. in search of the E-bomb, while Fontane,Ortega,Jetson and Jackson battle their way through the city towards Union Temple,where they hope to gain additional military support to cover the surfacing of the E-bomb,as Darkshade asked for.
As a titanic battle ensues amongst the ravaged streets between human forces,and the everchanging astroliths,Kip Fontane and Gordon Ortega come across a space pirate,Crash Solidthunder,who they save from imminent death.Upon hearing of the dire situation,Crash volunteers to use his own pirate ship,Furious George 4,to provide covering fire upon the surfacing of the E-bomb.The team head across the city to Crash's secret hanger,where they gain the addition of a troop of rough-looking pirates.
Meanwhile,Darkshade and Magnus continue through the abandoned levels of the city,at one point coming across a collapsed section of upper road,which leads upwards to a Dinosaur clone zoo,where the security has been breached,and dinosaurs run freely about.Eventually they descend once again,finding the E-bomb amidst the darkness,only to discover a mysterious warrior,Solidthunder,already trying to activate it.Both their purposes are one and the same,and all join forces to complete the same task.The load the E-bomb onto the back of an 8x8 truck,and drive up onto street level,where they find the Furious George 4 laying down a salvo of covering fire.
An intense highway pursuit takes place,during which Darkshade acquires a Sabre Saturn Mark x bike,and continues ahead to deal with a new looming threat; the stegolith.In a dramatic sequence,he leaps onto the nose of the stegolith as a squadron of QAPs come raining down.There Darkshade encounters the quantum assassin Black Justice,and the two battle fiercly atop the machine,until Justice is kicked from the edge to his apparent death.Amidst the fray,the 8x8 truck's tyres are shot out on the highway.Furious George 4 lands and everyone disembarks to give covering fire for Magnus and Solidthunder.At one point,a QAP is shot down,and as it regenerates upon the highway surface and prepares to take off,Fontane lashes the towing line of the E-bomb around the QAP's thruster and the bomb is dragged high into the air.As this is happening,Darkshade presses the activator for the E-bomb,and leaps from the Stegolith as an intense electromagnetic blast shoruds the city,and the attacking force of the Anathema is quelled.
The latter portion of the film deals primarily with the new rising Astrolith force in earth's atmosphere. Darkshade,Fontane, Ortega and Solidthunder make their way towards an approaching titan in space; the dreaded ancient race known as the Pturosats of Otab Teritus.Leader of this billions-year-old race if the Dashhorror,a star god of monstrous power,neither living nor dead,infused with the power of a thousand worlds.The Pturosats have been drifting across the intergalactic plains since the dawn of time,ever feeding,never ceasing,and now,with the assistance of the Anathema,they have happened across mankind.Upon the discovery of this new threat,Darkshade and company agree to infiltrate the Pturosat mother-ship,a giant energetic sphere several hundred thousand miles wide,in an effort to scupper it.There they are captured,and locked away,before being revealed to the Dashhorrror.The Dashhorror's decision is for them to be transported via a smaller craft back to the Pturosat's homeworld Gujo to be presented before the Masterhorror for interrogation.The film ends as the transportation craft makes a leap through arcspace to the said location.
