Checkmate

I originally wanted to post a proper story of the final play I did with my friends for Drama class but I got tired and well.... lazy. So here's a summary.

Title: Checkmate

Cast:
Ryan (played by Wee): The main character. The story is read by him from his diary. He is the scout in the team. An orphan.
Joe (played by me): Ryan's best friend. They knew each other ever since they were children. Together in an orphanage, Ryan and Joe played chess but Joe always loses. Joe is the sniper of the team.
Roger (played by Chia): The transport expert in the team. Roger gets excited excited easily by things and gets loud. He can drive any vehicle from tanks to ships to planes.
Preston (played by Wilson): The heavy weapons user in the team. He is in love with his minigun named Maria. Get's hot easily and is rough.
Colin (played by Kai): The Australian IT expert in the team. He is a flirt and a pervert.
Dmitri (played by Mal): The Russian demolition man in the team. A veteran, he likes vodka and dislikes beer. Loves to blow things up and the sound of explosions. Often tells Soviet Russia revers jokes.
Lindsay (played by Laura): The captain of the team, Blue Eagle. She is the only girl in the team and is frustrated over the 'crazy' bunch of men she has to work with.

Setting:
The future, from the year 2045 (in diary) and 2047, in America and Germany (that used to be another country).

Ryan and Joe goes into war against the Germans after Hitler was cyrogenetically revived. They were invited to join a special forces team and together they met five other people, Roger, Preston, Colin, Dmitri and Lindsay. At first each of them did not get along well except for Ryan and Joe of course. In their first mission, they were to save a hostage from a terrorist but they fail and the place explodes, they escape in a helicopter and learn that Roger is actually acrophobic, Dmitri takes over the steering but they crash landed because the helicopter ran out of fuel. They soon bonded together as a team overnight. They later on received a new mission to assassinate Hitler. They manage to get into his base but one by one they died after someone triggers an alarm, leaving Ryan and Joe who manage to reach Hitler's room. Hitler starts to tell them about the US army using them and Hitler himself as a puppet to start wars. Joe kills Hitler but as Ryan turns around to congratulate Joe, Joe revels himself as a traitor and kills Ryan. Soon, General Birch, the person who formed the team and gave out missions to them walks out and congratulates Joe telling him that he did well in deceiving the team but as he was about to kill Joe, Joe shoots Birch in the stomach and revels that he has also betrayed Birch, together with Colin who appeared to die with Lindsay. After Colin delivers the final blow to Birch, Joe and Colin continued their world domination and five years later, they rule the world. In the final scene, Joe visits Ryan, who pretended to suffer brain damage and answers some of Ryan's questions and then finally kills him. Colin comes into the room as Joe reads Ryan's final entry in his diary. After finishing, Joe tears Ryan's diary into shreds and the two men leave the scene.

The story was awesome. There was the unexpected betrayal and the unexpected twist. Unfortunately I'm too lazy to tell it in an awesome way. Oh well.

Edit: Pah! I completely forgot to add in some stuff and I just realised it after like how many days I posted this. I doubt anyone would be reading this edit but I'm gonna add this edit in anyway. During the storyline, it is revealed that Ryan and Joe were from the same orphanage and were roommates, they'd play chess together and Ryan would always win. It is later reveled that Joe is a sociopath and so his childhood memories with Ryan were all nothing to him and he used those times as a chance to "learn" emotion, Joe is also a genius, it was revealed that Joe let Ryan win their games of chess on purpose by manipulating Ryan's movements. Roger is revealed to be acrophobic, leading to Dmitri to take over the helicopter who ensures the team that because he can drive a tractor he can pilot a helicopter. Roger passed flying school by closing his eyes, he must be very lucky in air. It is revealed in the General Birch betrayal scene that Colin is actually not Australian. Dmitri must be very lucky because he's been playing Russian roulette with guns and later tanks since the age of 12. It is suggested that Ryan, Joe, Colin and Birch all come from the same orphanage because all four of them uses 'chess' and 'pawns' in metaphoric ways. If the previous suggestion is right, it would be continued that Ryan was adopted because he is the only one of the four to be not part of the inside party.
