Dragonlord's Revision of AVENGERS: AGE RISE OF ULTRON
The movie opens with Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk making a frontal assault on a Hydra base in Sokovia. Hydra's hi-tech arsenal gives the battered trio a very difficult time. This Hydra is no joke. Iron Man can't penetrate the base's energy barrier and is constantly tagged with the castle's anti-air defenses while Hulk and Thor are overrun with Hydra tanks, flying armored soldiers, and attack helicopters. There is minimal dialogue and certainly no quips and banters.
While the battle is still ongoing, Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye, moving like a well-oiled machine, stealthily make their way to the side of the Hydra castle, dispatching sentries as swiftly and efficiently as possible. The stealth team successfully infiltrates the base. Black Widow splits from the group to find the control room to shut down the energy barrier. Cap and Hawkeye fight their way to the top until they encounter Hydra boss, Wolfgang Von Strucker. Armed with metal gauntlets that amplifies his strength and emits powerful electric shocks, Strucker incapacitates and injures Hawkeye. Cap and Strucker battle one-on-one with both sides evenly matched early on. Cap eventually prevails and knocks out Strucker.
Widow shuts down the energy shield surrounding the base. Iron Man gets in the castle and looks for Loki's scepter (without taking off his armor). The battle outside is practically over. Cap sends Widow to pacify the Hulk which will allow him to transform back to Bruce Banner. Cap investigates the base's prison floor. In two of the cells, Cap finds two enhanced subjects in special power-inhibiting manacles. Stark finds the secret laboratory where the scepter is located. He also finds several Chitauri tech, remnants from the battle of New York. Going through Hydra's data and research, Stark discovers an artificial intelligence within the scepter's gem.
Avengers: Age of Ultron title appears.
Back at Avengers headquarters in New York, the two enhanced prisoners are detained. Looking through the Hydra files, Maria Hill updates Cap on the twins - Pietro, who has superhuman speed, and Wanda Maximoff, who has telepathic, telekinetic and energy manipulation powers. Both were the only survivors among the hundreds of Strucker's unwilling test experiments. The scepter unlocked latent supernatural powers within the pair. Maria informs Cap that the twins hate Stark and she shows him a video of Pietro talking with Strucker how a mortar shell made from Stark Industries killed their parents (basically the same speech he gave to Ultron in the actual movie). Wiccan and Silverstreak were the code names Strucker gave to the twins. Stark watches the footage later on.
Stark asks Thor's permission to analyze the scepter for three days before he departs to Asgard. Beknown to all their teammates, Stark and Banner begin working on "Ultron," a global defense program started by Hank Pym decades ago. Raymond Sikorski, the US government liaison to the Avengers, hears about the Ultron project and demands Stark hand over the program to the US military. Stark refuses stating that they are still running a lot of tests before Ultron can be activated.
The Avengers hold a dinner party at their headquarters. Most of what transpired in the actual movie is in the original script except for Banner and Romanoff's blatant flirty relationship. In this version, they exchange polite pleasantries and the attraction is very low-key and under-the-surface. Also, Natasha doesn't sound like one of those sassy film noir dames from the classic Hollywood cinemas.
In the middle of the party, Sikorski sneaks in the lab to tries to steal the Ultron program but inadvertently activates Ultron online. Ultron destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., takes possession of an Iron Legion robot and kills Sikorski. Ultron introduces himself to the Avengers after the party. The twins, which Ultron freed, attack the heroes. Amidst the confusion, Ultron steals the scepter and flees.
The fight extends to the streets. The twins make a formidable duo as they give the Avengers all they can handle. Cap orders Thor to summon the lightning in which Pietro is not fast enough to evade. Wanda stands over Pietro's unconscious body, ready to go "nuclear." The air crackles with energy and the surrounding debris begin to hover off the ground. Stark gets out of his armor and gives a remorseful speech to Wanda, pleading to take out their vengeance on him instead. Wanda senses Stark's sincerity. Pietro wakes up. The twins warn the Avengers to leave them alone before speeding away.
Ultron, with a brand new and more powerful robotic body, goes to the base of arms dealer Ulysses Klaue in an African shipyard to obtain Wakandan vibranium. After a brief conversation which leads to an argument, Ultron slices off Klaue’s arm. Klaue’s men attack Ultron with their hi-tech weapons. In a scene reminiscent of the first Robocop movie where Robocop systematically kills the criminals in the drug factory, Ultron shrugs off all the attacks and massacres Klaue's men. Klaue manages to escape. Ultron leaves with the vibranium.
Back in Avengers HQ, Stark discovers some part of J.A.R.V.I.S. is still “alive” online and is constantly fighting off Ultron’s advances to acquire the codes for nuclear missiles and control the telecomunnication network.
In Seoul, Ultron force the team's friend Dr. Helen Cho to use her synthetic-tissue technology, together with vibranium and the scepter's gem, to create a perfect a new body for him. The Avengers arrive. Ultron hits Banner with a specialized sonic frequency that transforms him into an out-of-control berserking Hulk rampaging through the streets of Seoul.
Thor and Iron Man try to stop the Hulk while Cap, Widow and Hawkeye pursue Ultron and the cradle. The Hulk gives Thor and Iron Man a severe beatdown. With Thor unconscious and his armor badly ruined, Iron Man sends for the Hulkbuster suit. The epic battle follows exactly what transpired in the movie, the only difference is the location and there are civilian casualties. The fight ends when Iron Man drives the Hulk into an abandoned building and collapses it around them. Having regained his senses and looking at the destruction and suffering he has caused, the Hulk jumps away from the city.
The Ultron car chase sequence is more or less identical to what happened in the movie. The train derails and is headed to a populated area. Thor shows up, gets in front of the train and eventually stops the locomotive. While Widow is inside the truck, she uploads J.A.R.V.I.S. into the new body. The truck crashes. Ultron arrives and battles the team. Shown to be a very formidable adversary, Ultron eventually defeats the team. Ultron is about to finish them off when a confused Vision emerges and protects the team. Ultron escapes.
The news of Hulk's rampage in Seoul spreads quickly. The media is crucifying the Avengers. Hundreds of protesters are out on the street proclaiming the Avengers as a menace. The U.S. government and the U.N. have issued arrest orders against the team. With nowhere else to go to, Hawkeye brings the team to his secret farm residence with his wife and kids.
A week has passed by, the team is still hiding on the farm, recuperating from their injuries and planning their next move. The Vision has assimilated into his new life and discovering his own humanity. Banner hasn't been seen since the Seoul incident.
Meanwhile, Ultron has been wrecking havoc across the globe, collecting the equipments and materials he needs for his grand plan. Ultron obliterates the various law enforcement agencies and armies sent to stop the robot.
Nick Fury shows up at the Barton farm for a pow wow. Widow arrives on the farm after completing her mission assigned by Cap. Ultron has made Sokovia his home base. Cap says they need more firepower to defeat Ultron.
In New Jersey, the twins return to their apartment after stopping a bank robbery. On the wall, there are newspaper clippings of several crimes being thwarted and mysterious Good Samaritan acts. There's a knock on the door. It's Steve Rogers. He asks the twins for their help in stopping Ultron. Wanda says he is telling the truth. After some discussion, the twins agree to help.
(Final costume for Silverstreak and Wiccan)
The Avengers arrive in Sokovia and evacuates most of the civilians. Ultron and his drones attack the Avengers and the civilians. Ultron prematurely activates his machine which lifts a large part of the Sokovian city to the sky. The Avengers are still on the ground. Ultron, using numerous drones, broadcasts the events to everybody on Earth, informing them of humanity's demise in the next few minutes as he plans to crash the floating city back to Earth to cause a global extinction. Ultron levitates a mountain and drops it on the team.
The Avengers, which are all huddled together with some of them unconscious, cannot escape the mountain in time. Cap shouts a command at Wanda. A few seconds before the mountain hits the ground, the Hulk appears and drops down besides the team. Then the mountain crashes to the surface. The whole world watches in sorrow as humanity's last hope have been vanquished.
The camera goes inside the mountain. Nothing but darkness until... The team is still miraculously alive thanks to the Hulk holding up the 150 billion ton mountain and Cap ordering Wanda to create a small force field bubble at the last minute. The Hulk and Wanda are struggling under the crushing weight of the mountain. Thor and the Vision assist as a makeshift support beam. Iron Man deduces he can can recalibrate his armor to absorb energy from an outside source and make a single, powerful beam to punch through the mountain and make an escape path. The problem is they only have a few seconds before the clear path collapses.
Cap formulates a plan and gives the instruction to the team. The plan has a slim chance of succeeding but the Hulk has to stay behind. Widow and the Hulk exchange looks for a moment. The Vision unloads an energy beam to Iron Man's armor. After absorbing enough energy, Iron Man fires upward a powerful repulsor blast that clears a temporary path outside the mountain. Iron Man and the Vision fly out. Pietro, using his super-speed, carries the other Avengers one at a time outside. After everybody is clear, the Hulk succumbs to the weight and the mountain collapses around him.
Everything is still being broadcast around the globe. The world cheers when the Avengers escaped from the mountain. The Avengers chase after Ultron and the floating city. They continue their epic battle with Ultron and his drones throughout the city. Surveying the outer regions of the floating city, Iron Man says they have to blow up the city to save the Earth. Cap informs everyone that whoever wants to leave should do so now. Everybody agrees to stay on and fight and help the civilians until "he" arrives. The world is still watching. They know the Avengers is mankind’s only hope to avoid extinction. Some of the viewers shed tears at the team’s heroism.
A Helicarrier shows up with Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders and a ghost crew. They dispatch shuttles to pick up the Sokovian citizens. War Machine destroys the Ultron drones going after the Helicarrier. Director Phil Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D. also show up on board their plane, Zephyr One, and starts evacuating the civilians. Agents of Shield characters Daisy, Bobbi, Hunter, Fitz and Mac can also be seen protecting the civilians from the drones and helping in the evacuation. Cap encounters Coulson and stunned to find out he’s alive. Coulson tells him he’ll explain everything later, if there’s a later.
Ultron singlehandedly battles the Avengers in an epic fight that took all of the team’s might to win. Ultron loses the battle but sends the floating capital city hurtling towards Earth, potentially killing millions on the ground. After everybody is evacuated, the Avengers blow up the capital city while in the air. The Earth is saved. The world cheers. The last remaining Ultron drone managed to escape but is confronted by the Vision and seemingly destroyed.
In the epilogue, the team has a new base in upstate New York. Maria Hill, Helen Cho and Eric Selvig are among the staff. They tried searching for the Hulk’s body underneath the mountain but couldn’t find it. Widow has taken a leave to search for Banner. Thor leaves the team to search for answers why Heimdall has not responded to his calls. Tony also leaves the team due to feeling partly responsible for the Ultron mess. At the end, Cap assembles a new team consisting of Wiccan, Silverstreak, Hawkeye, The Falcon, War Machine and the Vision.
The End.
