Star Trek: Final Frontier Animated Series Storyboard Adaptations #2
A continuation of my Final Frontier Storyboard Adaptations from their original black and white sketches to a more detailed, coloured version. I have used my redesigned ships and updated characters for this.
A SMALL ODRIN SHIP IS UNDER ATTACK FROM A FEARSOME LOOKING VERLICON BATTLESHIP, A ROUGHLY HEWN BUT INTIMIDATING OPPONENT. THE SMALLER SHIP IS TRYING TO EVADE, BUT IT IS CLEARLY OUTMATCHED AND WILL NOT LAST LONG.
ENTERPRISE APPROACHES THE SKIRMISH.
HOLDEN EMERGES FROM THE TURBOLIFT. THE BRIDGE OFFICERS ARE AT THEIR STATIONS. CHASE IS IN THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR.
CHASE: "Helm! Put us between those ships. Jax, warn that ship off!"
JAX: "Hostile vessel..."
THE BRIDGE OF THE VERLICON BATTLESHIP IN SHADOW. THE VIEWSCREEN SHOWS THE ENTERPRISE MOVING TO SHIELD THE SMALLER VESSEL. JAX'S VOICE COMES OVER THE COMM.
JAX (O.S.): "...this is the USS Enterprise. Break off your attack or prepare to be fired upon!"
AN INSECTOID LIMB GLIDES ACROSS THE CONTROLLS IN SILHOUETTE. A HIGH PITCHED ALIEN CHATTER IS HEARD.
ON THE VIEWSCREEN, A TARGET RETICULE APPEARS OVER THE ENTERPRISE.
THE BATTLESHIP FIRES A SINGLE DISRUPTOR BEAM. ENTERPRISE'S SHIELDS GLOW ON IMPACT.
THE SHIP SHAKES SLIGHTLY FROM THE BLAST.
JAX: "Direct hit! Shields holding."
HOLDEN: "They can't be serious..."
SUDDENLY, THE ALIEN BATTLESHIP ERUPTS WITH A HAIL OF DISRUPTOR BEAMS.
ENTERPRISE BUCKLES WITH EACH HIT, HER SHIELDS DANCING WITH LIGHT.
SANDOVAL: "I think you got their attention."
CHASE: "So much for diplomacy. Return fire!"
ENTERPRISE'S PHASER BANKS GLOW TO LIFE, ISSUING FORTH A BARRARGE OF ENERGY THAT PUMMELS THE ALIEN BATTLESHIP,
GIVING US A GLIMPSE OF WHAT THIS POWERFUL NEW SHIP CAN DO.
THE ENEMY TRIES TO RETURN FIRE, BUT WITHIN MOMENTS IS LEFT POWERLESS, SPARKING IN SPACE.
JAX: "I'm reading a core breach in the enemy vessel!"
THE ALIEN BRIDGE IS COVERED IN SMOKE AND FIRE, BIZARRE ALARMS SOUNDING. A SHADOWY INSECTOID LIMB MOVES ACROSS A CONSOLE. THE STATIC-TWINGED VIEWSCREEN INDICATES ENTERPRISE IS BEING SCANNED, THE DATA TRANSMITTED TO A LOCATION UNKNOWN.
AN EXPLOSION ROCKS THE BRIDGE. ALIEN SQUEALS INTENSIFY.
A SMALL EXPLOSION FROM THE BATTLESHIP'S FLICKERING ENGINES BLOSSOMS TO A MASSIVE BLAST, DESTROYING THE SHIP.
