Episode U-601: New Beginnings



I've decided to do another fanfic, since today was suppose to be the day Sliders would have started its sixth season, so I've decided to do my own version of what Sliders Season would have been like if it had continued, but this time on the USA networks.

Logline: 3 months after returning to Earth Prime, and ending up in another kromagg prison, Rembrandt Brown will soon meet new friends to help end this battle, but first, must fix the timer.

Guest Star: Bodhi Pine Elfman as Trevor Blue

Synopsis-- After returning to Earth Prime, Remmy is upset that the virus doesn't work, and the kromaggs are still in control, he figured the virus didn't work, but realized that the force field was probably the seer world's way to stop the kromaggs from entering. Remmy has been tortured for so long, he feels like he would rather die, than live on his world. Shortly after he is returned to his cell, the alarm goes off, he guesses that a rade was happening, but is shocked when a man (David Chokachi) shows up to his cell, unlocking it. The man tells Remmy to come with him, so they can leave. The 2 then meet up with other resistants to get to the basement. A few kromaggs get in the way, but the group kills them all in the fight along the way. The group makes it to the exit in the basement, escaping with no casualties.

Back at an underground resistance base, Remmy meet Trevor who also met Quinn and Maggie the first time they got here. The man soon tells Remmy, his name is Nick Driskill, and Trevor was the one to tell him to free Remmy, due to having a timer. Remmy tells the others the timer is back at the Chandler, since that is where he landed, along with the fact that when Remmy came out of the vortex, he was near a grenade, and he figures that is possibly how him and the others might of died if they all went with Remmy.

Remmy is taken back by Nick and others. They find Remmy's room where he had been staying, but the timer is no where to be found. In the closet, someone is watching every movement the group makes. Rembrandt believes that either the kromagg took it, or someone found it. Suddenly, a woman(Claire Forlani) comes ou through the closet doors, pointing a gun towards the group, while the others turn around, pointing weapons at her. Once she is relieve who shes talking to, she puts her gun down. The woman explains that she is a scientist, working at Cal Tech, but shortly after the kromaggs arrived, she ran for cover in the sewers, and hid, but would try to come up for food and water.

A couple of weeks earlier, she had found a way to get to the hotel, by the basement, she guessed that someone made that tunnel to escape the kromaggs in the first place. Remmy asks about the timer, and she pulls it out from her inside jacket pocket. She asks him what it is and why Remmy found it important. Remmy began explaining about sliding, and what has happened. The woman agrees to fix it, so that maybe Remmy could return to save his other friends.

The group returns to the underground base, where they let the woman, whose name is Allison Kendall, to fix the timer, while Remmy joins Trevor, to just chat. Trevor starts asking questions about what happened to Marta, Quinn, Maggie, Colin, (who met Trevor after returning from their trip to an alternate kromagg prime)and Wade. But Remmy gives the bad news, explaining all that has happened to his friends, and Marta. Trevor felt that Marta was a good leader, but sh died while trying to protect her world from the kromaggs.

Nick suddenly enters, telling them that the kromaggs have broken through to the underground base entrance, and would be at their location at any second. Remmy heads to find Allison, telling her they had to go, but she refuses since the timer isn't functional yet, so Remmy grabs a tool box, stickign all the supplies she may need, and drags her along, as they join the others running, but guns go off by the kromaggs, and the human resistance fires back.

Nick helps Allison and Remmy to a tunnel, telling them to wait. Trevor tries to make it to another tunnel, but is shot in the head, killing him instantely. Nick returns with 4 other resistance members, so they take off, running and heading back to the prison basement on accident, since they thought that the tunnel lead to the hotel.

Allison believes that if she could find a work station, she might be able to finish fixing the timer, but Nick refuses, since it would lead to their deaths. Remmy then takes the timer, agreeing to her suggestion, the Nick asks Remmy if he's crazy. Remmy tell the guys to either stay or follow, since he didn't want to remain on his hell bound earth forever, so they decide to all go.

Allison finds a laboratory, entering it, and finds machines of all kinds, Remmy figures that one of them, might be a sliding machine, and out of luck finding a kromagg sliding machine in the next room, which leads to Allison's idea, take the machines power source, and put it in the timer. Allison takes off the cover of to the power grid, finding a small device, blinking, powering the machine. Remmy takes it off, and Allison takes the back of the timer off. Remmy hands the device to her, and its small enough to put in the timer.

Nick tells the others they should leave, so they do, returning to the hotel's basement. Shortly after returning, the frame of the egyptian timer was destroyed, so she found a television remote controller, resembling the timer. Allison uses the tool box, using tools to repair the damaged timer. It activates, lighting up, Allison returns to the others, telling them, the timer works, but it only has 30 seconds before the portal opens.

Remmy takes the timer, asking if they all wanted to come, to find a weapon that would drive these rejects into the ground. Allison agrees, same with Nick, but the other fighters refuse, stating that this is their world, and they need to defend it.

Remmy opens the vortex, as the groups stares at it with amazement. Remmy is first in, followed by Allison, then Nick tells his friends good luck, and to keep up the spirit, since someday the kromaggs may be vanquished from their world. Nick leaps into the vortex as it closes quickly.

The 3 slide out of the blue luminating colored vortex onto a flowerbed in the Golden Gate Park. When the portal closes, Remmy tells the others how much time they have. Remmy gets into more detail, explaining what he has to do. Allison and Nick agree to help in anyway they can. Remmy then comments how hungry he is, they both laugh at whatn Remmy said, then the 3 head to a hotdog stand down the hill on the other side.
