Pilots

Kind of like some Evangelion alternate universe...
Facility for biorobotic suits
A number of pilots under training with varying skill levels
Some sort of crisis is occurring
Young boy demands he be the pilot
No one has confidence in him because they think he's weak
He isn't as skilled with the suits
Another pilot (female) warns him that it isn't safe
Commander agrees, uncaring, deeming that autopilot can take over if he fails
Boy pilots suit through excruciating pain
Ultimately succeeds, but at the cost of his legs
Cuts to a later scene
The boy is talking to a classmate while on crutches
They knock out his crutches and stomp on his leg
Female pilot tries to help him up
Boy has become very jaded, uninterested in life
Simply lives monotonously
Cut to a later scene
Boy gets the chance to replace his legs with biorobotic prosthetics
Goes to the hospital, waits for surgery
He looks at his legs, disgusted with their damage
As he's wheeled off to the surgery room, he's very anxious
He knows the procedure is going to be very long and painful
Cut to a later scene
The boy has returned to school, classmates jeering at him
They throw insults at him and taunt him
A group of boys try to fight him
He reveals his prosthetics
Armored legs with small jets for propulsion
Fights the boys off easily
Smirks with confidence
