[Alexander Mead]

The Raptor of Spain

I'm undecided on this one. Time of Crows was probably my best so far, and I haven't done one of these in a while. That said...

---

COMING 2016​

A falcon flies over a bleak, sandy landscape. The camera follows it for a while, and after about 5 seconds it flies over a column of mounted riders. The eagle continues flying, and after a time we see the city of Malaga. Music is light drums at the time.​

CUT TO​

A night sky, somewhere in Spaña. Bells are ringing. The camera is looking up at the spires of a church, and set beside the spire is a crescent moon.​

ABD AR RAHMAN (VO): When I came here, I knew it was my destiny to rule it.

CUT TO​

The camera looks out over a river, as seen from the banks. In the distance, one can make out a dust cloud. There is a faint sound of hoofbeats and steps. Music adds flutes, playing in a fashion similar to an arabesque.​

CUT TO​

LISINA tending to ABD AR RAHMAN, in a tent on the run from Al-Fihri​

AR-RAHMAN: Al-Fihri has made a laughingstock of me. None will listen

when I ask them to rebel. Now he has taken Zaragoza.


LISINA: You do not have to stay. We could flee to Asturias. They are Christian, and have no love for Al-Fihri


AR-RAHMAN thinks about it for a while, and then nods.

CUT TO

Umayyads dying in a purge, a la the godfather. Abd Ar Rahman escapes with a small entourage.​

ABD AR RAHMAN (VO): My mother was a Christian, and my father the last Umayyad Sultan. When the Abbasids took power, I ran.

CUT TO​

Abd Ar Rahman takes his first steps onto Al-Andalus​

AR RAHMAN: I ran to a place on the very frontier of the Islamic world – Al Andalus. Now, it is called Spaña.

CUT TO

The river, again. We see two armies, opposing each other across it. One army flies a pure black banner, that of the Abbasids. On the other side is Ar Rahman, flying the flag of Asturias. The falcon flies along the river. Trumpet fanfares join the drums and flutes.​

CUT TO

A beautiful city, with many fountains dominated by a great castle. This is Toledo, capital of the kingdom of Spaña.Ar-Rahman looks out over the city from the walls of the castle. He looks reflective and/or pensive. His son, SALAMON, is beside him.​

RAHMAN: Remember how you came to be here, my son. Remember how Spaña was won.

CUT TO

Montage of the events of the first few entries. Rahman being knighted. The alliance between Charles the Frank and Abd Ar Rahman. Harun ar Rashid speaking to Abd ar Rahman. The music becomes drawn out, forming long chords on the brass punctuated by flute trills.​

CUT TO

The river, again. The Battle of Rio Carbones occurs. Abd ar Rahman and his soldiers fight bravely, but are on the verge of being overpowered. Then, Charles and his Frankish soldiers arrive as the cavalry and turn the tide of battle.​

CUT TO

A young boy, lying in a palace bed. He awakes and looks out over the city of Damascus, near dawn. A falcon sits on the window, near a map. The boy walks over towards the window, and the falcon flies onto the map, landing on an area marked Al-Andalus. It flies up into the camera​

WHIP CUT TO BLACK​

“Generic Pictures, in association with Allohistorical Television presents” appears on the screen​

THE RAPTOR OF SPAIN​

Appears in golden letters.​

Hopefully, it's decent.

<Title: The Lucky Strike>​

<Notice: IN THEATERS 2015>​

EDIT: This short story concerns an ATL outcome of the Hiroshima strike.The Bomb never lands in the city itself.​

I've finally found out who wrote it : None other than K. S. Robinson. He seems to like AH quite a bit (even though this is a pretty old work of his).

 

[Kissinger]

{A WB logo surrounded by a black burning field is shown}
V.O.: 1933, at one of humanities weakest military eras, a new threat arises.
{People who are decomposing walk towards a trench while being blasted apart by weapons of all calibers, large amounts of moaning}
V.O.: Untill he came.
{A man in a brown trenchcoat appears next to several generals}
V.O.: Then, all hell broke loose.
{Trenchcoat man looks at the undead and shakes his head while the moaning gets louder and louder}
V.O.: His name was Jack Griffon, a time traveller
{Griffon fires a small beam at a zombie}
{Screen fades to black and moans are replaced by a ticking sound that sounds like a billion clocks}

 

[Orville_third]

Here's an idea of mine...It may be a bit ASB, but there is method to my madness...
--------------
A female hand puts on a white pair of gloves
VO: A boy came up to me one day.

The gloved hands put on a tailcoat.
VO: He asked me, "Zatanna? Is the magic real?"

The gloved hands are shown putting a top hat on the head of a dark haired young lady
VO: I asked him, "Do you believe it's real?"

Shot of film studio logo
(Music begins. The same voice is singing the song)

Shot of a film set, decorated like a magic show.
VO: If time came to an end today

Shot of a headline: "Bush calls for Amnesty"
VO: And we left too many things to say

Shot of a man seated at a table leaping up, as Tom Cruise in a turban and a man dressed as the devil pull out scimitars.
VO: If we could turn it back

Shot of Janet Napolitano vetoing a bill marked "S.B. 1070"
VO: What would we want to change?

(Music shifts to the background)
Shot of a movie with Tobey Maguire kissing a man inside the GM Futurama exhibit (after it's closed)
VO: He looked at me, with tears in his eyes.

Shot of a reporter on television. A headline below reads, "Obama Endorsement Expected Soon"
VO: And he said, "Yes, I do believe it's real."

The female shown earlier dressed as a stage magician is now shown, striking a dramatic pose. We see her face, there is a flash...
And the actress is seated at a table at the San Diego Comicon, in front of a poster for her Zatanna movie, speaking to the audience and telling the story.
Selena Gomez: I smiled and said, "That's all that matters."

(Music resumes the foreground)
Shot of the Greenville (SC)News. Headline: "GLORIA! SC Elects First Female Governor"
Screen cuts to black, with the word, "DO"
And we can find a way

Shot of a Wizard Magazine Cover: "DC Shakeup! DiDio out! Crisis Cancelled?"
Screen Cuts to black, with the word "YOU"
To do anything

Shot of the Presidential inauguration. John Roberts is administering the Oath of Office to Bill Richardson.
Screen Cuts to Black, with the word "BELIEVE?"
If we try to...

Shot of a rally. Flags waving, both US and Latin American.
Live like there's no tomorrow

Shot of Zatanna movie, with special effects.
Love like it's all that we know

Title card: "Mi Creo"
Believe in what we feel inside

The letters shift around to the reverse: "Im Oerc"
Believe and it will never die

Card: "Coming Soon"
Don't ever let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow...
--------------------
(OOC: The song is "Live Like There's No Tomorrow", which was used on a different movie soundtrack ("Ramona and Beezus"). The Selena Gomez line is real, with the name changed from "Alex" to "Zatanna" (I may have abridged it too or misremembered a tiny bit) and the location changed from the D23 Expo to the San Diego Comicon. The Tom Cruise and Tobey Maguire bits are references to "Carter Beats the Devil" and "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay", both movies they were suggested to appear in. SB 1070 is the Arizona Immigration Law. Gloria is Gloria Arias Haskins, IOTL a South Carolina State Legislator (R-Greenville/Taylors) and former neighbor/friend of mine.)

Bet you never expected someone to write a Selena Gomez-caused AH, did you?

 

[Orville_third]

Another idea of mine:
----------------------------
Shot of a studio card
George W. Bush (VO): They called me a cowboy for suggesting that idea.
Shot of an interview with George W. Bush
Bush: I guess they were right...(laughs)
Shot of an interview with Anthony Romero of the ACLU
Romero: We opposed Bush's decision, and we still do.
Close up of Romero
Romero: I can say, though, it was not the worst idea that came about after 9/11.
Shot of the rubble of the Twin Towers
Reporter (VO): President Bush plans to address the nation tonight on the topic of the US's response to the attacks of September 11th.
Shot of the White House
Reporter (VO): Sources say it includes a major shift in America's response to terrorism.

Shot of a metallic disc, with something cut out of it. Words on screen:
There Is

Shot of George W. Bush, speaking from the Oval Office
Bush: In this fight, we are calling upon methods old and new.
Shot of men standing at attention in the Georgia sun, wearing black outfits. They aren't military.
Bush (VO): We are calling on men who have patrolled the frontier as it headed westward and guarded those who sought civil rights.
Shot of men shooting M-16s on a firing range, in those same black outfits.
Bush (VO): They uphold our nation's laws from the snows of Antarctica to the skies above our earth.
Shot of those men standing in front of a group of US soldiers. The soldiers' arms are raised, as if taking an oath.
Bush (VO): In times past, they worked alongside our armed forces to bring criminals to justice.
Return to Bush in the Oval Office
Bush: And they will do so again. Very soon.

Shot of a the disc again, with what looks like a shape in the center. Words on screen:
A Time

Shot of the Washington Post: "BUSH PLAN DRAWS CONTROVERSY"
Reporter 2 (VO): Democrats and Republicans are both criticizing the new Bush plan on a variety of fronts.
Shot of Bush and Cheney Arguing
Cheney: This country NEEDS a strong executive!
Bush: I'm the goddam PRESIDENT here!!
Shot of military helicopters taking flight
Reporter 3 (VO): The first operation of its kind since the late 1800's.

Shot of a the disc again. There is a five pointed star inside it, and a Federal Eagle (like on the Great Seal) on the center. It's a badge. Words on screen:
For Justice

Return to the soldiers. The man in the black suit steps forward. He's wearing a badge just like the one shown, on the front of his bulletproof vest.
​

Man: Congratulations, gentlemen.
Cut to behind him, looking out at the soldiers. "U.S. Marshals" is on the back of the vest.
Marshal: You are now part of our posse. Let's roll.

Shot of the U.S. Marshal's badge. Title card appears on top:
POSSE

Shot of Tommy Lee Jones joking with George W. Bush in the Oval Office
Jones: If I knew you'd do this, I wouldn't have voted for my old roommate.
Bush: (Laughs)

Coming Soon

[The Stormlord]

Might be kind of self-serving, but I still have ambitions of rewriting and finishing it so yeah.

V/O: We thought we were safe.

Fade in from black. A piece of newspaper drifts lazily through a war-torn street.

V/O: We thought they could never come back.

Stock footage of marching Nazis flashes by.

V/O: We were wrong.

Beat

V/O: So very wrong.

The Empire State Building collapses.

Sleek, sci-fi fighters fly by, they clearly have the Swastika on them.

US soldiers fire with small arms on a superheavy tank. It's clear they're desperate.

Beat

Civilians running in panic.

Beat

A hulking, faceless soldier, advancing on scared US Army troops.

Beat

An old radio, playing a song.

J'ai ton amour, et je veux ton revanche...

One move
Could change
The world.

(Music begins to play, CCR's "Have you ever seen the Rain?"

Shameful publicizing (if I ever get around to finishing it)

(Screen black)

“So ended an era and so began another”

(Scene: Four servicemen carry the casket of FDR through a rainstorm, to a cemetery)

"Men will thank God on their knees a hundred years from now that Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House"

“Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President, and regarded has one of the greatest Presidents of all time, died near the end of the 2nd World War”

(Scene: newsreel footage of Harry Truman, recently sworn in as the 33rd President)

“Harry Truman succeeded him and led the country through the end of that and led it into the cold war. The rest is history, so some would say…but what if another man became President?”

(Cue to the Oval Office with a voiceover)

“I….Quentin John Adamshock…do solemnly affirm…”

(Cue scenes of Allied troops breaking into Berlin, American and Soviet troops fighting, a man and woman, with bags on their heads, drug out of a bunker, A B-29 flying over a Japanese castle)

…I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and…
(Cue scenes, White and Black troops patrolling in Germany and Japan, A US flag flying next a Vietnamese flag, Congressmen fist fighting in the House of Representatives.)

“to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect…”

(Cue scenes of a man and woman in an intimate embrace in the Lincoln bedroom; a crazed, mustachioed man being led into a court room, American paratroopers landing Japan, crewman load atomic weapons onto a flying wing, an older man kisses a young brunette woman in a near-empty restaurant)

“and defend the Constitution of the United States."

(Cue scenes of the kissing man fighting a policeman; American and German planes and tanks deploying with the flag of Israel, A heavy set drunk firing a handgun at a man and woman, the kissing man and a dignified black man standing side by side, The mustachioed man is ranting and banging his fists, a sickly pale, mustachioed man violently shakes on a couch, the brunette is modeling in a bikini, and lastly a young man sits at a desk with a bottle of alcohol and a knife.)

“So help me, God.”

(Scene camera tracks up from a bible to the face of the kissing man, whom has his right arm raised.)

ELECTION 2012 RE-RELEASE

From the Jimmy Hendrix meets Ron Paul thread...
EXT. A HIGHWAY. DAY.

A massively pregnant woman stands on the roadside, in front of a smoking, broken down car. She waves offscreen.

WOMAN: Ek het hulp nodig! Asseblief!

Slowly, a hulking tour bus pulls into frame, stopping in front of the woman. The door hisses open.

JIMI: Hi. I'm Jimi Hendrix.

CUT. INT. A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. DAY.

JIMI and a roadie is wheeling the huffing woman into the office on top of a rolling speaker.

JIMI: Hey! We need a doctor out here!

A doctor sticks his head out from a room.

DOCTOR: I'm a doctor. Doctor Ron Paul.

JIMI: Are you experienced?

CUT. INT. DAY. RON PAUL'S OFFICE.

RON: Your friend is fine, but she was very difficult to calm down. Mr. Hendrix, how well do you know this woman?

JIMI: I just met her, man.

RON: And would you happen to know what these are?

RON opens his hand, revealing several large gold coins.

RON: She handed them to me before the delivery. She was quite insistant.

JIMI: Are those gold?!

RON: Not just any gold. Krugerrands. Purestrain gold Krugerrands.

CUT. INT. DAY. THE ENTRY HALLWAY TO THE CLINIC.

A team of masked men burst in, yelling and firing AK-47s. They kick in doors until they find the room they're looking for. Seconds later, several of the men come out, wheeling the frantic woman.

CUT. INT. DAY. RON PAUL'S OFFICE.

One of the masked men bursts in the door, instantly training his gun on RON, who raises his hands in fear. Suddenly, JIMI steps out from behind the door, leading with a guitar which smashes into the man's face.

CUT. INT. DAY. RON PAUL'S OFFICE.

RON and JIMI are hunched over the groaning man.

MAN: You ... soon your kind will be in their place.

CUT. EXT. DAY. TEXAS DESERT.

RON and JIMI cower behind a cactus.

JIMI: Do you hear me man?! These motherfuckers are building a time machine!

RON: What!?

A man pops up from behind a boulder, firing at our heros, who take off down a dune.

CUT. EXT. A DESERT CLIFF.

JIMI lies bloodied on the ground, precariously close to the cliff's edge, as the EVIL RINGLEADER paces in front of him. The prone body of RON lies in the background.

EVIL RINGLEADER: Yes, Mr. Hendrix. Soon we shall return to the days of your Civil War, and provide the Confederacy with these.

The man hefts an AK-47.

EVIL RINGLEADER: Where will you and your band of gypsies be then?

RON: Hey pal!

The Evil Ringleader whirls around in shock.

EVIL RINGLEADER: How?!

RON holds up a pocket constitution. Inside it is lodged a single bullet.

RON: Guns don't kill people. I do.

RON delivers a roundhouse kick to the face of the EVIL RINGLEADER, who plummets to his death off the cliff.

EXT. DAY. A MILITARY AIRFIELD.

RON: Look! We'll take that!

He is pointing to a blimp.

JIMI: I'm getting too old for this shit.

To the strains of VOODOO CHILD, a stream of quick action-packed cuts.

TERRORISTS drive in jeeps underneath the blimp, firing in the air and yelling in Afrikaans.

JIMI HENDRIX

JIMI wails on a guitar as TERRORISTS writhe in agony in front of enormous speakers.

DOCTOR RON PAUL

RON dives sideways, firing a pistol in each hand. Doves fly in the background.

THIS SUMMER

RON and JIMI stand back to back, surrounded by a band of TERRORIST NINJAS.

IN

RON and JIMI walk slowly towards the camera as the blimp crashes into the ground in a fiery explosion behind them.

CROSSTIME TRAFFIC

EXT. DAY. THE DESERT.

RON: No, see, the butterfly flaps its wings in China, and it causes a hurricane in Louisiana. So if you change the timeline -

JIMI: Man, I don't care about some Mothra-ass hurricane butterfly! We got time-traveling motherfuckers with machine guns here! They will fuck that butterfly up!

Another trailer for another guy's work...

(I thought this song would go well with this TL a while back. Now, it'll be in the trailer...)

(It's eerily quiet in a 1970's era house, in Arkansas. We catch a glimpse of a clock showing around 1 AM as little Jane Fontenot heads out into the yard. We can hear the nearby river in the background, as almost the only noise...except for the music which begins.)
Bruce Springsteen (singing acapella, for now):Well one of these nights bout 12 o'clock
This old world is gonna rock
(Jane puts her hand to the ground.)
Pharaoh's army got drownded
(The massive shaking begins, knocking her down.)
O Mary don't you weep

(Studio card. The accompaniment begins (Bruce Springsteen's cover of "O Mary, Don't You Weep").)

(A UH-1 Huey is flying over the flooded landscape.)

(Darryl Pettlbone is watching the hills in Missouri. The quake begins.)
Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
(The hills are sinking into the ground)
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

Nixon: John, country’s in ruins. We need to start rebuilding, and the first step is reassurance. Nixon brought this country together in ’68, and he can do it again in ’72. But first we need to reassure the people of this great country that something is being done. That we can rebuild. And for that, Nixon needs to address the country.

If I'm not being too presumptuous:

V/O: The gentle journey jars to close/The drifting dream is done.

Fade in from black. A piece of newspaper drifts lazily through a war-torn street.

V/O: The long-gone goblins loom ahead.

Stock footage of marching Nazis flashes by.

V/O: The deadly, that we thought were dead.

The Empire State Building collapses.

Sleek, sci-fi fighters fly by, they clearly have the Swastika on them.

V/O: Stand waiting

US soldiers fire with small arms on a superheavy tank. It's clear they're desperate.

V/O: Every

Civilians running in panic.

V/O: One.

A hulking, faceless soldier, advancing on scared US Army troops.

An old radio, playing a song.

J'ai ton amour, et je veux ton revanche...

[ChineseDrone#48295857]

For the Anglo-American Nazi war.

Fade from Black

An Indian soldier is walking past the burning rubble of a building with obviously French architecture. A tattered flaming Nazi flag flutters onto the ground in front of him.

Cut To

US jets on begin bombing Nazi positions on the Calais shoreline as landing craft move toward the beaches.

Narrator:
The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

Cut To

Royal Navy craft duel off with their Nazi counterparts in the foreground as Allied jets dogfight overhead.

Narrator:
The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea turned into blood.

Cut To

A single bomber flies toward Hamburg with a large fighter escort. It banks and flies away, and a nuclear explosion engulfs the city moments later.

Narrator:
The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

Cut To

Chamberlain tanks flanked by infantry advance on the SS Arras complex
Announcer: On October 23rd

Cut To

The St. Patrick's day bombing in London.

Announcer: WWII

Cut To

Polish insurgents ambush a battalion of SS soldiers at a slave labor camp.

Announcer: Was Just

Cut To

Molotov signs the Soviet Union's document of surrender.

Cut To

A field of rubble. In the background, a small piece of the Eiffel tower stands lodged against the remains of a bakery. Words begin to fly onscreen.

Europe is Burning

October 23rd

 

[Antonio]

ANNOUNCER: Imagine a world where the USA went evil...

[We see many people being shoved in carts just outside Trois-Riveries.]

ANNOUNCER: Imagine a world with a fascist Confederacy...

[We see a black man being chased down and lynched]

ANNOUNCER: Imagine a world where South Africa went far worse...

[A idyllic village, then the peace is disturbed by white vans. Soldiers in masks come out and massacre the people]

ANNOUNCER: Imagine a world with all three. Is there hope?

[A conference room, with GORDON MCSWEENEY, ADOLF HITLER, ERIK VON SHRAKENBERG, HIDEKI TOJO, BENITO MUSSOLINI all around the table. A space is visibly left, with a nameplate saying JAKE FEATHERSTON]

Announcer: Meet the Evil Ones who made the Holocaust five times over.

[They all shake hands with each other, like a deal was done]

Announcer: Britain and France went fascist, like them, but, lucky for the world, they rebounded.

[People breaking in the House of Parliament on the left, on the right, the Chateau de Versailles. Oswald Mosley and "King Charles XI" is brought out, in chains, with the people spitting and booing.]

Announcer: Can the British and French save the world from darkness? Certainly not alone. They need to make a deal with the red devil...

[Map of Russia, with red spreading, covering the gold that was there before.]

Announcer: To find out if the world will be saved from totalitarianism, watch
The Decisive Moments: Twilight of the Gods
​

Is this based on something?

 

[Time Enough]

An Idea

This trailer for a story I am making:
(Some generically film company symbol)
(An Air-raid siren starts waling)
Narrator: In 1916 an unidentified object landed near Tunguska not far from 1908 meteor crash. But this was no meteor this was something worse.
(Image of a red hot glowing shell. The lid unscrews to reveal a man walking out of the shell.)
Man:For Eokin Empire
(The Man places a flag on the melting snow and salutes.)
Narrator: And these things have came prepared!
(Cue old stock footage of WW2 sort of battle. The people fighting are Germans vs some unknown force.The German troops are attacking with a panther tank to try and stem the tide.The tank is hit by a glowing light and explodes. The camera turns to show soldiers wearing body Armour and carrying heat ray rifles attack. As they do so a tripod rears up and fires a missile from a tube on it back.The tube hits the ground and dispenses a gas. Soldiers put on gas masks but the gas is to quick and they fall to the ground.The camera at is on the floor showing a massing attack of troops.)
The image go black showing the film title.

Heavens Fire​

Coming soon to a cinema near you.

Narrator: There comes a time...

panning across White House

...when lines are crossed...

Rep Wilson stands up and shouts "You lie!" at State of the Union address

...good faith is held in disdain...

pic of Palin with "death panel" placards

...everyone has their limits.

Congressman Sensenbrenner quipping that Michelle Obama has a big butt

Obama in a meeting suddenly twitches, then Obama --fully facing the camera-- freaks the hell out. The voice that lashes out is a taunting, confrontational, defiant shout:

"WHAT'S GOOOOD MOTHER____A?!?!?!!"

And forces beyond our understanding finally take control...

Flash of fully-possessed Obama standing with a chrome-plated shotgun with leering Secret Service agents standing behind him

(I thought this song would go well with this TL a while back. Now, it'll be in the trailer...)

(It's eerily quiet in a 1970's era house, in Arkansas. We catch a glimpse of a clock showing around 1 AM as little Jane Fontenot heads out into the yard. We can hear the nearby river in the background, as almost the only noise...except for the music which begins.)
Bruce Springsteen (singing acapella, for now):Well one of these nights bout 12 o'clock
This old world is gonna rock
(Jane puts her hand to the ground.)
Pharaoh's army got drownded
(The massive shaking begins, knocking her down.)
O Mary don't you weep

(Studio card. The accompaniment begins (Bruce Springsteen's cover of "O Mary, Don't You Weep").)

(A UH-1 Huey is flying over the flooded landscape.)

(Darryl Pettlbone is watching the hills in Missouri. The quake begins.)
Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
(The hills are sinking into the ground)
Pharaoh's army got drownded
O Mary don't you weep

(The Fontenots are drifting in a boat past a church, and through a graveyard)
Well Mary wore three links of chain
On every link was Jesus' name

What's nice about this is that I now have a potentially VERY interesting timeline to look up
