Goooooood morning, followers.
I planned on adding a new piece of fiction today to this board, and I still plan on doing it! However, I just woke up to one of the funnest (most fun?) dreams of my life! It had action. It had intrigue. It had possible romance... It even had a dog!
So, I'm going to post here. Simply the bones of it all. What I remember, what I have altered in my head, and what I want to do with this. Now, remember, this is from a DREAM so its a bit fragmented! I'm hoping this make sense to me in the morning. Here goes nothing.
Dream Version: Private Government Contractor creates a brand of super soldiers. Via genetic manipulation, these children are raised and trained to be soldiers. These soldiers, of course, are 'rented' out to the US Army (Along with its allies) to be the best of the best. Code name: Lost Boys (From Peter Pan, right?)
Adjustments : I like the Peter Pan reference, however, I need to point out how females were created as well as men. This isn't just a boy's club. Boys were created first (Men always fearing females in the military... tsk, tsk) but females did follow.... Lily, Wendy, ect.
Dream Story - The story isn't about this super soldier program. Really, it's not. It's actually about the program crumbling. The 'Lost Boys' are sent out on a mission that proves set up. A new government contractor has created better soldiers, those of being hived minds, and is given the contracts.The "Lost Boys" are sent into a mission (Militant Group in Nebraska? Was that it) and are killed. Only three make it out alive... but here is the kicker. The three make it out seperately. Each thinking they are the last surviving one. We follow the three's individual story until it comes together in one final arc.
Adjustments - Eh, I got nothing. So, lets keep it close to that.
Dream Characters :
Older Brother (Peter) - The leader of the pack. He was the first kid created, part of the first 'batch'. Straight edged, gifted with many skills. His survival in the massacre is through skill alone. His escape from the battle is a mystery, he himself not remembering due to his injuries
.
Rebellious Brother (Michel) - Michel came from the second batch of kids 'brewed'. He is simply the rebel of the group. He's been known to show up after a mission smelling of ladies and beers ("What, I got the job done so I stopped off to party"). Think "Alec" from Dark Angel. His escape from the massacre is through luck and (possibly) running away.
Younger Sister (Wendy) - Is the youngest of the group, being one of the few females created. She is talented, maybe showing signs of being the new leader one day. However, she is inexperienced. She has the least amount of experience with the real world.
Main Honcho Woman (Nanny) - She's watched these children grow into soldiers. She's supervised them, kept track of them, and also helped decide when one needs to be sent to "Neverland" if they aren't cutting the mustard. She's a business shark, in the end, however she views her project as the best. She helps the survivors of the massacre when she can only because of what seems to be wishing to prove her soldiers are not cast offs. That they are the better soldiers.
Deputy Female - This small town deputy happens upon Michel breaking into a summer cabin after the battle. Michel, being dazed, scared, and paranoid takes her hostage. I want her to end up helping Michel, trying to keep him from hurting himself. (Think... Alissa from Gargoyals).
Donnie (Nibs) - Donnie finds Wendy while she's moving through the forest, trying to escape the new breed of super soldiers. Donnie saves her from walking into a trap and helps guide her out of the woods. He claims to be a soldier from Iraq, someone who got discharged from service because of PTS. However, what you find out later is he's 'Nibs'. The only kid to ever escape from 'Neverland'. He was sent there because he proved to be insane. (Think Alpha from Dollhouse). Wendy would not recognize him due to her being second batch. Peter would.
So.... What do I do with this?
The basic idea is that the Lost Boys are wiped out by another corporation. The 'evil' corporation uses them to show off their newest breed of soldier to the US government. Nanny, sadly, is made aware of this. Nanny does sign off to send the 'Lost Boys' to the mission (Militant Group in Nebraska), hoping that they can prove they are better soldiers.
The idea is that the 'militants' prove to be the hive linked soldiers. Shells, really, with fighting skills. The battle is intense. If this was a movie, we'd switch between Wendy, Peter, and Michel. Peter is last seen running for the window of a room as grenades are thrown near him. He dives out the window, explosions behind him, and that's it for him. Michel is shown fighting 'hand to hand' with a guy, barely being able to kill him. Michel can tell this isn't a normal 'militant' group. He knows something is wrong. He watches as the building with Peter in it explodes, thus making him decide to run for it. Wendy, of course, is shown fighting. We also see her escape the battle dragging out a dying 'Lost Boy'.
Peter will wake up in the back of the van. Nanny is there. She'll reveal that she had to at least secure him. Naturally, he's pissed. He might even try to kill her. However, what she holds over him is that he's not the only survivor. That others escaped and she can help him find them.
Michel will be breaking into a cabin for bandages and food. While rummaging, a local sheriff will roll into the drive way- Deputy Female (I need a name for her). She'll come in, investigating why the lights were on or something. Michel will easily subdue her (Even after several impressive blows from the Deputy). She becomes his hostage while he tries to work everything out.
Wendy will be shown closing the eyes of the now dead Lost Boy. She hears something in the woods and she slowly moves to investigate. She readies her gun. As she turns, two 'Super Hive Soldiers' will attack her. When it looks like she'll be killed, Donnie will appear. He kills them easily, saving Wendy. When asked how he learned to fight, he'll say "Iraq Veteran, ma'am. I was camping when I saw those gents attacking." Something lame... But clearly, Donnie has been following Wendy since he's not really who he says he is.
Okay! This is fragmented. Isn't that great? Dreams can seem so real but... in the end, they make not alot of sense on paper. Anyways... I put this down for my own benefit. For those following, why don't you drop me a line saying what's wrong or what you like about this dream. Remember, this was a dream! I woke up and wrote it here just so it would remain vivid in my head. So, don't worry! If you think it's all a poor idea or if it makes no sense, don't fret! Tell me. It was just a dream!
