EXT. GROUNDS – NIGHT
Logan pours outside. His eyes widen in shock as he sees:
CLOSE UP ON: A METALLIC, GREY LEG. IT IS THE SIZE OF A TREE TRUNK. Pan upwards, along an angular, metal framework to the head of the SENTINEL, its yellow eyes blazing with fury.
LOGAN
Holy ****…
The Sentinel turns on him, and fires a BLAST OF RED ENERGY. Logan dives out of the way, just in time as the blast SMASHES A BUILDING TO PIECES.
Logan’s eyes dart around the grounds, when suddenly he sees Storm… lying in the distance, still, on the wet ground.
The Sentinel prepares to fire again. Logan springs to his feet, and leaps to Storm’s side, as a SECOND BLAST collides into a LORRY.
LOGAN
Storm, Storm!
Storm's eyes flicker open. She gasps in pain.
STORM
My leg.
Logan looks down at it. There is a deep cut, bleeding quite heavily.
LOGAN
It’ll be alright. But we gotta get out of here.
STORM
Look out!
A RED BEAM SHOOTS TOWARDS THEM. Storm’s eyes flash white, and she spins into the air, dragging Logan with her. But she staggers, and plunges to the ground. Logan falls as well.
Suddenly a DOOR OPENS, and a squadron of grey-clad soldiers pour out. They raise their weapons, and close in on the mutants.
INT. HODGE'S OFFICE - NIGHT
Hodge is sitting in a comfortable chair, watching a display screen, of the battle outside. Gyrich is standing silently behind him.
Hodge smiles as the soldiers close in.
EXT. GROUNDS - NIGHT
Storm’s hair springs into the air, and her eyes CRACKLE WITH LIGHTNING. She rises to her feet, glares at the guards and raises her arms.
A STRONG GUST EMERGES. The soldiers struggle to move; the wind BLOWS THEM OFF THEIR FEET, they crumble to the ground.
The Sentinel watches Storm. It moves closer, its mechanical frame clinking with every step, pounding into the ground below.
It raises an arm, preparing to fire… Storm hasn’t noticed…
