Ivar The Timewalker: Ivar, the Timewalker has experienced the passage of thousands of years, just like his immortal brothers, Gilad and Aram. Unlike them, or anyone else, Ivar has spent his years skipping around from one point in history to the next. Able to find natural "time arcs" that carry him from era to era, Ivar might be in the present one week, and in 41st - Century North Am the next. This gets to be tricky for Ivar, who must take care to do nothing that could change history--even though this pledge of non-interference often leads to some difficult choices. But his time jumps aren't motivated by curiosity or adventure, Ivar only hopes that the next time arc will place him back in the arms of his one, great love--lost in another time.
The H.A.R.D. Corps: In response to the rise of Toyo Harada and his Harbinger Foundation, the international conglomerate known as the Omen Corporation created a paramilitary unit called The Harbinger Active Resistance Division. An assembly of candidates was begun: comatose patients, patriots with highly trained past, each of whom were clearly willing to die for their country. They were granted a second chance in the form of cybernetic brain implants which not only revived them, but could also mimic the psionic powers of Harbingers. Dubbed the H.A.R.D. Corps, these battle-hardened men and women have repeatedly challenged Harada's master plan to lead a superior race into the future. But once MotherGod Pierce came into control of the world a year ago, H.A.R.D. Corps' goal has change. Now they help all people, both normals and Harbingers alike to escape MotherGod's rule.
The H.A.R.D Corps are:
Gunslinger(a.k.a. Major Charles Palmer):Gunslinger
was a fighter pilot(he can fly virtually all forms of conventional aircraft)declared
MIA(missing in action),while really in a North Vietnamese prison camp.
Straight as an arrow, tucked in at the edges, follows everything by the
book---all describe Gunslinger. His integrity and values are built into
the fiber of the character.
Shakespeare(a.k.a. Captain Aaron Brillstein):Shakespeare
is the H.A.R.D. Corps' poet warrior, the team's heart & soul.
An intellectual who justifies what he does in battle, he has both the loyalty
and the artisan of a samurai. He serves to boost morale on the team, though
he usually seems to keep a respectable distance from the others.
Hammerhead(a.k.a. Captain Marion Virgil
Peeves):Hammerhead is a firm believer in the "any means necessary"
approach to accomplishing his team's goals. Foul-mouthed and hard-living,
he is not above perpetrating a scam to get ahead or forward a mission.
Hammerhead
has an extremely high pain threshold. He has very little regard for his
body, and believes that every scar he bares is beautiful and "tells a story".
All other H.A.R.D. Corps members have been killed, and all trainees
have been captured and are under the control of MotherGod Pierce.
Aric Dacia: In 408 A.D. , Aric,
one of a tribe of Visigoth warriors, was kidnapped by the Spider
Aliens and taken aboard a mother ship where he was studies and made
to work as a slave. Using a map etched into his had by the "Map Giver",(who
bore an uncanny resemblance to Elvis), Aric sought the ultimate
weapon---the X-O Armor--and used its power to destroy the alien
ship.
Shanhara, Aric's armor, adapted to Aric and brought
him safely back to a world in which many hundreds of years passed. The
armor helped
Aric learn English and slowly acclimated him to 20th
Century life.(March 1991). 6 months later, when MotherGod Pierce
obtained her powers, X-O Manowar, alongside others of the world
heroes, mounted an attack on Pierce's Rainbow Tower. Aric
was killed during the first attack, and the X-O Armor fell into
MotherGod's
hands.(September 1991).
Angelo Mortalli: Angelo Mortalli was a Mafia wise guy, a cold and ruthless hitman who at times seemed less than human. Mortalli was advancing quickly within the Mob and was engaged to the daughter of powerful mobster Gino Canelli. But when Canelli found out that Mortalli was being unfaithful to his daughter, he decided to get rid of him. Mortalli was framed for the brutal slaying of a rival gang mobster, but before any legal proceedings began, MotherGod Pierce came into power. Pierce saw great potential in Mortalli, and turned him into the second in command of her SHOC Troop Squad.
Ninjak: Colin King lived a dual life. To most, he was one of Britain's idle rich--a playboy socialite with few cares. However, to a select few, he was also Ninjak, an espionage agent without equal. Much of Ninjak's history is unknown. He was at one time an agent for the Weaponeer Organization, now defunct. This organization combated the threat of Dr. Silk and Webnet, an illegal consortium of technical, industrial and financial institutions with holdings and interest worldwide. But all of this changed after MotherGod Pierce came into being. Now Ninjak is an independent agent, using his own means to defeat Pierce.
The Harbinger Kids: This team
of rogue Harbingers came into being 2 months before MotherGod
Pierce came into power. They are the backbone of The Resistance, fighting
alongside the H.A.R.D. Corps.
The Harbinger
Kids are:
Peter Stanchek:
The second most powerful Harbinger on the face of the planet, second
only to Toyo Harada.
Flamingo:
Charlene
Dupre is a young Alabama girl gifted with flame powers.
Zephyr:
Faith
Herbert, often called Zeppelin because of her figure, is the
Heart & Soul of the team.
Torque Torkelson:
Torque
is the teams muscle. He has a very short fuse. Flamingo is interested
in him, but he keeps rejecting her.
Kris Hathaway:
Kris
is Pete's girlfriend. She has stood by him ever since
Toyo Harada
killed Pete's best friend.
Jack Boniface: One of MotherGod'sTower
Slaves.
Gilad Anni-Padda: Born before
recorded history Gilad was the Fist & Steel of the Earth,
protector of the Geomancer line, but that changed the day MotherGod
Pierce came into power.
Now Gilad, under the control of Toyo Harada, is The
Warmaster, leader of MotherGod's SHOC Troop Squad.
Aram Anni-Padda: Brother of both Gilad and Ivar, Aram is now the strong man of the human resistance against MotherGod Pierce.
Obadiah Archer: Archer handles the underground Railroad out of MotherGod's RainbowTower.
Dr Hwen Mirage: Leader of The Human Resistance, along with his wife Carmen.
Geoff McHenry: The Geomancer, it's Geoff's job to tell others what the Earth wants of them. He is the only one who know that this reality is wrong, and he most reach Ivar to tell him so.
The Rise
of MotherGod.
Page I:
Panel I:
We see a common country house,
on the outskirts of what looks to have once been a thriving city.
The entire city, or at least
what's left of it, it's completely destroyed. On the distance we see MotherGod's
Rainbow Tower.
We see a sign, with the words
"Now Entering Muskogee, Oklahoma. Population: " the real
number is crossed out and can't be made out anymore, and a big, round zero
is in it's place
Caption Box: September
7th ,1992, 2:13 p.m. EST:
Panel II:
We move closer to the house,
coming inside through the window. The house is made out of wood, as if
having been built not too long ago.
Panel III:
Inside the house we see a broken
down room. All the furniture's unused, and the room is full of cobwebs.(think
the house in Evil Dead). All the furniture is old, and there are chairs
on the floor, and a table with 3 broken legs.
Voices:
"Mumble...no...mumble...can't be."
Panel IV:
The camera moves into a hall,
and we see, on the floor, the entrance to the basement, half covered with
an old rug.
Page II:
Panel I:
We move down the staircase,
down to the cellar. There are 2 torches lighting the way down.
Ivar:
"And that's all I know. I'm telling you, this is wrong, the world is wrong."
Panel II:
We see the following people
seated around a table:
Gunslinger
and Hammerhead, members of The M.A.R. Corps*.
Pete Stanchek
and Kris Hathaway, members of the renegade Harbinger group
once referred to as The Harbinger Kids.
Ivar Anni-Padda,
The Timewalker.
Pete watches
Ivar
with hate in his eyes, for leaving Flamingo, a fellow
Harbinger,
behind in MotherGod's Rainbow Tower.
On the table we can see The
X-O Glove, the most powerful weapon in the universe.
Ivar:
"All I need is to recover my time arc tracker, go back to 1991 and stop
my past self from saving Sol...er...that scientist dude."
Gunslinger:
"How much time till the timer on that thing runs out?"
Ivar:
"It said 70 hrs and change when I got here, so I have to get it by...Good
God! The time arc came and went 2 hrs ago! I'm stuck here! "
Panel III:
A wave of silence filled the
room, until a sound came out of the bathroom.
SFX *: Flush!! Flush!!
*: Special Effects...Mike.
Panel IV:
We see Aram come out
of the bathroom.
Aram:
"Damn handle keeps sticking!"
Ivar:
"Aram! Brother!"
Panel V:
Ivar ran
toward Aram and gave him a big, bone crushing, bear hug.
Aram:
"Wow, calm down big brother!"
Page III:
Panel I:
Ivar &
Aram
let go of each other and sat down. The others in the room, sensing
that the 2 brothers had much to talk about left the room, quietly.
Aram:
"Wher...I mean, when have you been bro? I've been worried...."
Ivar:
"Forget about me Aram. Tell me about Gilad and MotherGod.
How did it happen?"
Panel II:
Aram
scratched his head and took 2 beers out of a nearby fridge.
Aram:
"Well bro, you better get comfortable, this is a long story."
Panel III:
The camera starts to move away,
slowly. We see the 2 brothers slowly drinking their beers, as Aram
begins his tale.
Page IV:
Panel I:
The Edgewater Advanced Fusion
Energy Research Center,
the day after the nuclear accident which almost destroyed part of the continental
United States. The place still looks in bad shape. Repair crews are working
all over the place, trying to fix the damage caused by the explosion.
Caption Box: September
7th ,1991, 10:13 a.m. EST:

Phil:
">cough, cough<."
Gayle:
"Are you ok Ph...Dr. Seleski?"
Phil:
">cough, cough<Yeah, I'm ok, I just have a slight cough that started
last night."
Gayle:
"Have you been to the nurse? You don't look good."
Panel IV:
Gayle
placed her hand on Phil's forehead. Phil looked pretty much
like crap, with baggy eyes and sweating a lot. He's shirt was half in his
pants, and he was wearing 2 different colored sucks.
Phil:
">cough, cough< Don't worry Gayl...Dr.
Nordheim,
I'll be ok. Besides, it's not like the world would change that much is
something would happen to me, right? He, he >cough, cough<.”
Page V:
Panel I:
Phil
and Gayle arrived at the control center.
Drs. Pierce
and Dobson were waiting for them, specially for Phil. 2 NRC
were there as well.
Dobson:
"Seleski, finally you grace us with your presence!"
Phil:
">cough, cough< Sorry Dr.
Dobson, but I wasn't feeling
ok this morning, considering what happened yester...."
Dobson:
"Yes, yesterday was quite a day indeed. That's why this 2 gentlemen are
here to talk to you. Let me introduce you to Mr. Gilad Abrams
and Mr. Armstrong, they are from the government and they
would like to talk to you."
Panel II:
A close up of Gilad and
Armstrong,
dressed in business suits. Aram is very uncomfortable and doesn't
hide it.
Gilad:
"Dr. Seleski, if we could please go into your office to talk."
Phil:
">cough, cough< Yeah, sure. This way please >cough, cough<.”
Panel III:
Phil,
Gilad
and Armstrong walked down a hall, towards Phil's office.

"May I ask what branch of the government you are with?"
Gilad:
"NRC *"
*Nuclear Regulatory Commission...Mike.
Panel IV:
Phil,
followed by Gilad and Armstrong entered his office and sat
down on his chair, while Gilad and Armstrong sat on the couch.
Phil:
"And what does the NRC want with me?"
Gilad:
"Well, it's not my intention to run circles around the topic. In brief
words you are being fired and your permissions and licenses are being revoked
after yesterday's fiasco."
Phil:
"But...>cough, cough< THIS! wasn't my fault... it accident, an was It
>cough, cough, cough, cough<"
Page

Panel I:
Suddenly Phil dropped
to the floor, choking on his own puke.
Gilad:
"Dr. Seleski! Aram, hurry, go get Dobson!"
Panel II:
A few minutes later Dobson,
followed by Aram, Erica and Gayle, entered Phil's
office.
Dobson
kneeled down close to Phil, and lifted his head to check him out.
He took out his pocket lantern and checked Phil's eyes.
Erica
and Gayle remained close to Phil's desk, while Gilad
and Aram, very cool like, were standing near the couch.
Dobson:
"Fixed and dilated. Bring the crash cart, now!"
Panel III:
2 medics with a portable crash
cart entered Phil's office.
Dobson:
"Hurry men, hurry."
Panel IV:
The paramedics kneeled down
next to Phil. One opened his shirt while the other one turned the
crash cart on.
Medic I:
"Clear!"
Page VII:
Panel I:
The medic pressed the paddles
onto Phil's chest, which made him jump, but the heart monitor the
other medic had previously connected to him showed a flatline.
Medic II:
"Again! Clear!"
Panel II:
Gayle,
tears in face, sat down on the couch. Gilad sat down next to her.
Gilad:
"It'll be ok miss, don't worry."
Gayle:
">sob<He's gonna die, I know it. And I never told him how I feel>sob<"
Panel III:
Gayle
ran out of the room, while Erica, with an uncaring face, just stared
at Phil's dead body on the floor, as if letting us know how much
she doesn't care, but at the same time her face shows some surprise at
Phil
dying.
Panel IV:
Gilad
stepped out of the room, followed by Aram. Both stared to walk towards
the elevator.
Gilad:
"Guess our job here is done Aram."
Aram:
"Sure is Gilly. Seen one stupid scientist die, seen them all."
Panel V:
The 2 medics gave up on Phil,
covering him up with a blanket.
Medic I:
"Sorry Dr. Dobson, but I think this man woke up dead. Just
look at his chest."
Page VIII:
Panel I:
The medic lifted the blanket
covering Phil, to reveal a burned chest and even more burned areas
of his body.
Medic I:
"I'd say that this man was poisoned with radiation."
Dobson:
"Yes, he was. The fool went into the reactor yesterday, unprotected. He
thought that he might have been able to stop yesterday's accident by banging
on it. Stupid fool."
Panel II:
We see Erica, once more
contemplating Phil's body, and then heading out of the room.
Erica:
"(Thinking) Nothing can stop me now."
Panel III:
We see Erica entering
her car. We are looking at her from Dr. Dobson's office.
Dobson:
"(Thinking) I wonder."

to her house's door.
Caption Box: September
7th ,1991, 6:54 p.m. EST:
Erica:
"(Thinking) Why is it that what happened to me didn't happen to Seleski?
I don't understand. I was protected and he wasn't."
Panel II:
Erica
entered her house and we're able to see the burned remains of what once
was her husband, along with the frozen remains of her son.
Erica:
"Guess I got a little carried away, but as the scientist I am I needed
some guinea pigs."
Panel III:
Erica
walks through the house, and we can see that inside part of it has been
transformed into a myriad of places. The living room is a Jungle, while
the kitchen is a frozen wasteland.
Erica:
"This is all wrong. I definitely got carried away. I need order, and not
just in my house, but everywhere."
Panel IV:
Erica
stared at the TV for a full minute, till it turned itself on.

designated Harbingers, which would be overseen by a governmental
office, attached to Mr. Harada's Harbinger Foundation."
Erica:
"Hmmm."
Page X:
Panel I:
Erica
looked around the room, seeing everything twisted, as in a mess.
Erica:
"Wrong, wrong ,wrong. This is all WRONG! It needs order!"
Panel II:
Suddenly a burst of light came
out of Erica's eyes, burning everything in the room, including her
clothes, but not her.
Erica:
"I'm invulnerable! I can't even hurt myself."
Erica:
"I have to think this over. I have the power to do whatever I want, and
I plan to use it!"
Panel III:
Erica,
totally naked, but not caring, went up the stairs to her bedroom.
Erica:
"But before I start I need a change of clothes."
Panel IV:
We see Erica infront
of her closet, with tons of clothes on the floor and on the bed, and Erica
is holding her MotherGod outfit in her hands.
Erica:
"Perfect! This Halloween outfit will be perfect for me."
Panel V:
We see Erica putting
on her MotherGod outfit.
Erica:
"What was it that that pig called me when I had this on, mommy and goddess?
Yes, that's what I'll be, I'll be mankind's
MotherGod!"
Page XI:
Panel I:
We see Erica floating,
and laughing, while a maelstrom of energy begins to radiate from her, transforming
her room into a throne room.
Erica:
"This is were I'll start my restructuring of the world! This will be the
heart of reality!"
Panel II:
We see the exterior of the house.
A surge of energy is covering Erica's house...
Panel III:
...which transforms into a small
version of her Rainbow Tower, which begins to grow and grow, covering
the driveway and the neighbor's' homes.
Panel IV:
Suddenly, in Geoff McHenry's
home. Geoff suddenly wakes up screaming, sweating and crying.
Geoff:
"No! It can't be, please God no!"
Page XII:
Panel I:
Geoff
gets out of bed, wearing only a pair of shorts and socks, and goes into
the bathroom.
Geoff:
"It's impossible, something like that can't happen. It had to be a dream."
Panel II:
Suddenly Geoff's reflection
in the mirror became a vision that only he could see of Erica's Tower
in
Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Geoff:
"No! It can't be!!"
Panel III:
Suddenly there was a knock on
Geoff's
door and he went to answer it after putting a shirt on and wiping his tears.
Panel IV:
On the other site of the door
were standing the Harbinger Kids.
Pete:
"Hello, my name is Pete Stanchek, and I couldn't help overhear your
scream."
Panel V:
The kids entered Geoff's
house and sat in the living room, when Geoff's mom came out of the
kitchen.
Mom:
"And who are this honey?"
Geoff:
"Frie...friends of mine mom, they came from..."
Kris:
"From school, to give Geoff some homework he missed."
Geoff:
"Yeah, that's right, and we need to be alone for a while, ok mom?"
Mom:
"Sure honey, it's ok."
Page XIII:
Panel I:
Geoff's
mom left the room and the kids and Geoff sat down to talk.
Geoff:
"What did you mean you overheard my scream? That was up in my room, and
I don't have a window."
Panel II:
Close up of Pete, who
is seated in the living room couch.
Pete:
"We are what you would call Harbingers. We all, except for Kris,
have powers that separate us from the rest of humanity."
Panel III:
We see Geoff seated in
a chair, infront of Pete, Kris and Charlene seated
in the couch.
Geoff:
"You mean just like me and the fact that I can talk with the Earth?"
Pete:
"Yes, exactly! A moment ago when you woke up and scream I was able to hear
you because I'm a telepath, and your scream was load enough and it had
the energy necessary for me to hear it, even though we were 2 blocks away
from here."
Geoff:
"That's incredible. Then you know what's wrong, you know about...her!"
Pete:
"Yes, I do."
Panel IV:
We see Pete and Geoff
stand up.
Pete:
"We have to get to Oklahoma, fast, but we'll need help and I know
where to get it and how to get there fast."
Page XIV:
Panel I:
We see the horizon over a mountain
top. We see Erica's Rainbow Tower taking over everything, crushing
the buildings and houses under it, people running and screaming all over
the place. Atop the Tower we see Erica, fighting against
a flying Pete Stanchek, X-O Manowar and 4 H.A.R.D. Corps
members. Erica is shooting energy blasts at all her attackers.
Caption Box: September

"Fools, you'll never beat me, I'm God!!"
Panel II:
We see X-O flying in
a ramming course against Erica.
Aric:
"Good skin don't fail me now! Show this devil-woman all your power!!"
Panel III:
Aric
shoots Erica all the energy blast he can muster, but it's no good,
Erica
is well protected by an energy dome.
Erica:
"Fool barbarian twit!"
Panel IV:
Erica,
using all the energy at her command, fires a concentrated energy blast,
using the energy of a nearby star to back her up, against X-O. The
blast causes the good skin to feel pain and retreat into it's "ball"
shaped form, leaving Aric defenseless.
Page XV:
Panel I:
We see Aric fall from
the sky, with the X-O ball falling behind him, unto the Tower's
balcony, at Erica's feet.

Aric got
up and using his last remaining breath spit in Erica's face.
Aric:
"Drop dead she dog!!"
Panel III:
Erica
looked at Aric, energy flashing out of her eyes...
Panel IV:
...and Aric was no more,
his body incinerated from the inside out. Aric's body burned and
it ceased to be.
Page XVI:
Panel I:
We see the X-O ball floating
towards Erica, opening up to embrace her.
Erica:
"Now nothing can stop me!!"
Panel II:
Suddenly we are back in the
room with Aram and Ivar. Cans and bottles of beer next to
their feet.

"And that was that bro. Once she killed Aric and had control of
the armor it was over before it began."

"What about Gilad, how did he turn into The Warmaster?"
Panel III:
Close up of Aram, beer
can in hand, seated in his chair.
Aram:
"Gilad, well, he turned into The Warmaster very early during
the battle with Erica. Toyo Harada was waiting for us, and
when we entered the Tower he attacked Gilad mentally or something,
and that was that, he turned."
Ivar:
"Can't be."
Panel IV:
Full shot of the rest of The
MotherGod Strike Force entering the room.

Ivar in this place? What
happened to him?"
Panel III:
Aram
walks towards Ivar, holding the time tracker in his hand and placing
it on Ivar's.
Aram:
"We don't know, all we know is that he disappeared a year ago, but left
this, and it's ticking."

"My God, that means there's still a chance for me to change things."
Panel IV:
Pete
walks towards Ivar and Aram.
Pete:
"There is, but first we need you to tell us how to send stuff through time,
it's of the outmost importance."

entered the room and sat in a chair next to Kris and Geoff.
Geoff:
"The Earth has told me that..."
Ivar:
"Yes, I know Geoff, the baby has to go to the future and be trained
to protect humans from robots, or at least that's how it was in my timeline.
What danger lurks in this line's future?"
Geoff:
"MotherGod."
Ivar:
"What?"
Panel III:
Geoff
got up from his chair and took Magnus from Kris' hands.
Geoff:
"She will still be in power 2000 years from now Ivar, the Earth
has told me so, the same way it told me that you would come help us."
Ivar:
"Help you? I haven't done anything."
Geoff:
"But you have, you are here, now, and you will tell us how to send the
baby where he's needed, or future mankind will perish under the rule of
MotherGod."

pack of beer, walked into the room.

Ivar:
"What's going on?"
Panel III:
Aram
walked towards Ivar, and dropped the six pack inside the ship.
Aram:
"We can't just send this kid into the future alone bro, he needs someone
to train him in his mission, or at least that's what Geoff over

interesting by staying here."
Ivar:

time arc created a wind draft all inside the room, lifting papers and making
Ivar's
coat move with it, as well as making the furniture fly all over the place.
Ivar:
"I've erased the trackers memory, and set in the coordinates for the year
3975,
and I also set the space coordinates for a place that should still be a
safe haven for you, no matter how much changes from now till then, but
you should be ready for anything bro."
Aram:
"Always am big bro, now shut up and let's get this show on the road."
