THE CORE 'PILOT' Prologue

And so begins by journey of the television show I have trapped in my head. I'm hoping bringing it to words on paper will help ease my mind. Although this isn't technically Paper... oh well.

While I should start with character description I'll just post that later. I can't get to all the characters before I start writing. Just remember, I love to hear people's opinion. New idea's can give me better direction. This show was inspired by many Warner Brothers Television shows. From Smallville, to Gossip Girl. From Gilmore Girls, to The Vampire Diaries, plus many more. I hope my readers enjoy the lovely fiction.

PROLOGUE

FROM BLACK:

DARIUS (V.O.)

Our world is not how most people see it. There are people among you who are not what they seem.

1. EXT. ECHO CITY STREETS – DAY

People of various types walk along a busy street. A blonde woman passes by the camera and her eyes flash an iridescent color. A man walking the other way too looks at the camera and his eyes flash an iridescent color.

DARIUS (V.O.)

What Scientists won’t tell you and what the government won’t admit is our planet is more than just the four dimensions you experience every day. Within our time and space is an array of other worlds.

FADE CUT TO:

2. EXT. OPEN PLAINS – DAY

CAMERA pans over a valley filled with molten rock and zooms toward a raging volcano.  Near the top of the volcano a hooded figure walks into a cave entrance. A gold staff in his hand.

DARIUS (V.O.)

Legends told over the millennia portray the many realms around us as weak and in need of protection from the evil that always comes to destroy.

FADE CUT TO:

3. INT. LARGE CASTLE – NIGHT

A Muscular man with bright glowing hands stands before a ruler/king.

DARIUS (V.O.)

But Like all great legends, good would fight back.

FADE CUT TO:

4. EXT. BATTLE GROUNDS – NIGHT

The Muscular man with two ‘super powered’ friends behind him fight against some dark evil villain.

DARIUS (V.O.)

And gifted individuals would rise bearing the mark of their destiny. They Would fight against the evil.

CAMERA zooms on Muscular man’s forearm where the CORE MARK is seen like a tattoo.

DARIUS (V.O.)

To keep the human race flourishing. They became THE CORE and were given a place of their own secured with magic.

FADE CUT TO:

5. INT. MIRROR ROOM – DAY/NIGHT

Muscular man stands around a large stone table with his ‘friends’ in a room filled with seven mirrors.

DARIUS (V.O.)

Though as time would tell evil would fall back and retreat and the time for THE CORE’S protection was no more. Creatures adapted, climates change…

CUT TO:

Quick Cuts of a

1. Sunny beach becoming frozen over with ice.

2. A volcano erupting in the middle of a forest and turning it into a valley of molten lava.

3. Tree’s bursting up through plains of grass.

4. Water flooding over islands and main lands.

5. A gas or fog flooding through a forest and killing anything living forcing the “futuristic” living up above the trees. (Some have wings and fly up.)

6. A sand storm completely covering over any form of lively hood creating a world of sand. Crossover between these cuts could look like some kind of wall, or force field that the camera is passing though.

DARIUS (V.O.)

And ordinary people evolved to protect themselves from everyday nature. Unlike the heroes of their tales however, powers were gained through necessity of survival…

CUT TO:

YOUNG MICHAEL kicking a ball in a soccer field. YOUNG JON comes up and steals the ball from YOUNG MICHAEL.

               YOUNG JON  
You gotta kick the ball if you want to be on the team!

YOUNG MICHAEL runs away to behind the bleachers. As YOUNG MICHAEL cried storm clouds formed over the soccer field and lighting struck a near by tree. The P.E. coach rushes the kids off the field.

COACH

Soccer is over for now. We’ll have to continue class inside the gym.

YOUNG JON

But soccer is my favorite sport.

COACH

We’re going to play hockey inside instead.

CUT TO:

YOUNG STELLA waving good bye to her brother GRANT as he goes off to the army.

DARIUS (V.O.)

…while others remained dormant. And wouldn’t discover their abilities until they least expect it. Finally Devine power intervened to put a new Core into works, a Core of chosen ones unlike any in human history with a leader from unlikely origins. A leader whose abilities I myself am surprised for such a chosen honor as this.

Cuts of JON, MICHAEL and STELLA from young to present day.
