INT. ARMORY, CARRIER
Coulson makes his way over to the armory door. Over the intercom...
INTERCOM VOICE We've got perimeter breach. Hostiles are in SHIELD gear. Call out to every junction.
Coulson pushes down on a switch and scans his eyeball.
INT. WISHBONE LAB, CARRIER - MOMENTS LATER
Hulk and Thor crash through the floor of the Wishbone lab. Thor lays on the ground, he looks up, and Hulk grabs him by the throat.
INT. BRIDGE, CARRIER -
Fury, Hill, and other agents are shooting toward Loki's men. The place is chaotic. Brige Techs are taking cover and hiding from gunfire. Over the intercom...
INTERCOM VOICE We've got the Hulk and Thor on Research Level Four. Levels Two and Three are gone.
MARIA HILL Sir, the Hulk will tear this place apart!
FURY Get his attention.
MARIA HILL (into earpiece) Escort 6-Oh, proceed to Wishbone and...
EXT. FIGHT JET, HELICARRIER
A fighter jet is slowly pulling up to the helicarrier.
MARIA HILL (over jet radio) ...engage hostile. Don't get too close.
YOUNG SHIELD PILOT Copy.
The jet flies to where Hulk and Thor are fighting, seemingly evenly matched.
YOUNG SHIELD PILOT Target acquired. Target engaged.
He fires his guns toward Hulk. The barrage of bullets bounce off of Hulk. He roars, running at the window. Hulk crashes through it, leaping at the jet. Target angry. Target angry. Hulk lands on the nose of the jet and tears at the metal as it swerves in the air. The pilot tries to eject himself but the Hulk grabs him and throws him off to the side. The pilot's parachute opens and the plane explodes, sending Hulk plummeting to the earth.
ENGINE 3, HELICARRIER - MOMENTS LATER
Iron Man saws off pieces of debris with a laser. He jumps on them, knocking them off the rotors. A pair of Loki's men engage, one throws a grenade. Cap jumps into the air and slaps it away. He land back on the carrier and fights them off, standing close to the lever. He ends up throwing one of the men off the carrier. Cap jumps onto a catwalk, picks up a machine gun, and begins firing at the last man.
INT. BRIDGE, CARRIER
Fury is still shooting at the enemies.
FURY (to himself) They are not getting through here so what the
Barton fires arrows from above and they explode. He fires another which hits the control panel. Fury sees him and begins to shoot, while the arrow, having hit a plug, hacks the helicarrier systems, causing a second engine to malfunction, it's dead.
Ivanna looks at the screen with a proud look on her face, Anya gives her a elbow into her stomach.
INTERCOM VOICE Engine One is now in shutdown.
The helicarrier tilts dangerously. Everyone in the bridge begins rolling.
SHIELD WORKER Sir, we've lost all power in Engine One.
INT. LOWER ENGINE ROOM, CARRIER
Natasha sits in the carnage of the Hulk's rampage, shaking. She slowly lifts a hand to her earpiece.
FURY (over Natasha's earpiece) It's Barton, he took out our systems. He's headed for the detention lab. Does anybody copy?
NATASHA (into earpiece) This is Agent Natasha Romanoff. I copy.
Natasha staggers to her feet.
EXT. ENGINE 3, HELICARRIER
Iron Man is trying to push the rotor.
FURY (over earpiece) Stark, we're losing altitude.
INSIDE IRON MAN HELMET: TONY Yep, noticed.
BACK TO SCENE: Iron Man flies in between the rotors and begins to push, slowly picking up speed as sparks fly. Cap is forced over the edge by a gunman and falls -- almost dropping off the carrier, hanging on by a wire.
CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER
Thor runs into the room where Loki's contained. He sees the door slide up and runs over to Loki, only to go straight through him. Loki reappears behind him and closes the door, locking Thor inside.
LOKI Are you ever not going to fall for that?
A few people in the hall laughed at the sibling dynamic.
ENGINE ROOM, CARRIER
Barton is walking along a passage catwalk. Natasha appears behind him and he quickly turns and shoots a bow, which flies by her. She pushes his hand. He charges her and she kicks him, then rolls underneath some pipes -- popping up on the other side of the catwalk, kicking him in the knee. He shoots another arrow, which she dodges by dropping across to the next passage. Barton follows her. They fight along that catwalk. The fight is very even. Barton tries hitting her with the bow and she pulls on the string. They fight some more, headbutting and punching. They both pull daggers.
"Seriously mom, you were so holding back!" Clint looked offended.
"He was my first friend I would feel terrible if I hurt him too badly."
Many looked at the redhead in fear, this was her holding back?
The Marauders looked offended at the 'my first friend' part.
CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, CARRIER
Thor his the cage with his hammer, the cage cracks but it begins to shake off the bolts and shudders.
LOKI (laughs) The humans think us immortal. Shall we test that?
Loki moves to open the chute beneath the cell, dropping Thor to, what for any regular person, would be certain death. Coulson suddenly appears, wielding a large prototype Phase Two weapon.
AGENT COULSON Move away please. Loki steps back from the panel. Coulson gestures to the gun. Do you like this? We started working on the prototype after you sent the Destroyer. Even I don't know what it does. Do you wanna find out?
Coulson prepares to fire the weapon when Loki disappears, reappearing behind him and thrusting the point of his spear through Coulson's chest. He yells and drops to the floor.
Natasha puts her arms around her daughters she know Phil meant a lot to the girls
THOR NO!
Loki returns to the panel, opening the chute and pressing the button which sends the cell, and Thor, falling from the ship.
ENGINE ROOM, CARRIER
Natasha and Barton are still fighting. Natasha grabs Barton arm and thrusts it back. He groans as he throws the dagger to his free hand. Natasha grabs that hand too but he hoists her against a wall. Barton grabs Natasha's hair and pulls, exposing her neck to his dagger. Romanoff sinks her teeth into his arm and he lets go, trying to force her down when she spins, throwing Barton into the railing. He falls to the ground, groaning, then looks up.
BARTON Natasha!
She sends him a left hook
Anya smiles at the screen "Our mom is a badass"
Ivanna nods her head "Agreed"
Lily and Molly frowned slightly women weren't supposed to be 'badass'.
SKIES - MOMENTS LATER
The cell is still dropping, flipping all over the place.
CYLINDRICAL GLASS CAGE, SKIES
Thor trying desperately to break free from the cell, swinging Mjolnir at the glass sides as he plummets, twisting and turning, through the air. He braces himself against a wall and launches across the space, crashing through the glass and just before the cell slams into the ground.
REMOTE FIELD
Thor crashes into a field like a meteorite.
. EMPTY DETENTION ROOM,
Coulson is slumped on the floor and Loki turns to leave.
AGENT COULSON You're going to lose.
LOKI Am I?
AGENT COULSON It's in your nature,
LOKI your heroes are scattered, your floating fortress falls from the sky. Where is my disadvantage?
AGENT COULSON You lack conviction.
LOKI I don't think I
Coulson fires the weapon, which shoots a blast of fire similar to that of the Destroyer, sending Loki flying through a wall.
AGENT COULSON So that's what it does.
BRIDGE, CARRIER
Fury is working the controls.
INTERCOM VOICE All hands to your stations immediately.
ENGINE 3, HELICARRIER
The helicarrier is still falling. Iron Man is attempting to kick start the engine by manually moving the huge rotors. He is pushing the blades, flying faster and faster until they start spinning on their own and the ship levels off.
INSIDE THE HELMET: TONY Cap hit the lever!
INTERCUT: CAP / IRON MAN HELMET Cap still hangs from the side of the ship by a power cord.
STEVE I need a minute here!
TONY Lever! Now!
Cap hauls himself up.
END INTERCUT
Iron Man is pushed back up against one of the rotors, now spinning too fast for him to escape.
INSIDE IRON MAN HELMET: TONY (CONT'D) Uh-oh.
BACK TO SCENE: Iron Man is sucked into the blades and is spun wildly around before Cap manages to pull the lever and he is able to fly out. He manages to right himself and flies back to the ship, taking out the gunman shooting at Cap.
DECK, CARRIER - MOMENTS LATER
A jet takes off. Inside it is Loki, who is smiling and watching the carrier
EMPTY DETENTION ROOM, CARRIER
Coulson, slumped on the floor with the gun in his lap. Fury enters and kneels down by him.
AGENT COULSON I'm sorry boss. They got rabbited.
FURY Just stay awake. Eyes on me.
AGENT COULSON Oh I'm clocking' out here.
Ivanna and Anya smiled sadly with watery eyes. Coulson had always been there for them when they were kids, from time to time they had even stayed with him when there mom had been on missions, and uncle Clint and aunt Laura hadn't been available.
FURY Not an option.
AGENT COULSON It's okay, boss. This was never gonna work- if they didn't have something to.
His breathing halts and Fury stands to let the medical team through. He leans against the railing.
BRIDGE, CARRIER
Hill is having a head wound tended to.
FURY (over Hill's earpiece) Agent Coulson is down.
Hill pushes the doctor away.
ENGINE ROOM, CARRIER
Natasha stands on the catwalk as Barton is dragged away by some agents. She listens intently.
SHIELD WORKER (over Natasha's earpiece) A medical team is on its way to your location.
FURY (over Natasha's earpiece) They're here.
ENGINE 3, HELICARRIER
Tony and Cap stand together by the engine, quietly listening.
FURY (over their earpiece) They called it.
CONFERENCE TABLE, BRIDGE, CARRIER
Steve, Tony, and Fury are gathered at a table. Hill stands to the side. Fury pulls a handful of cards out.
FURY These were in Phil Coulson's jacket. Guess he never did get you to sign them. Fury scatters them on the table. Some are wet with blood. We're dead in the air up here. Our communications, location of the cube, Banner, Thor. I got nothing for you. Lost my one good eye. Think I had that coming. Fury begins to make his way around the table to Steve and Tony. Yes, we were going to build an arsenal with the Tesseract. I never put all my chips on that number, though, because I was playing something even riskier. There was an idea, Stark knows this, called the Avengers Initiative. (Fury reaches a chair between Tony and Steve) The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could. Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea, in heroes.
Tony stands and walks out. Well, it's an old fashioned notion.
◇──◆──◇──◆
by the way i know Phil didn't really die, but i haven't watched agents of shield. I didn't feel like I had enough information.
