Chapter 2
*The Gang pops out
of the Portal and quickly get their Bearings. As they look around
they see that they ended up in the middle of a Desert.
VIVIAN:
Where the Heck is this?
FELIX:
Sombica. I was here on a school trip when I was a
kid. Though it was way more…alive back then.
EVAN:
Ah yes this is MUCH better. Now instead of getting arrested we can die of radiation
poisoning.
JACKLIN:
Wait. Radiation? What happened to this Place?
FELIX:
At the exact same time as when the Moon exploded, several Nukes went off in
this Country, destroying most of it.
JACKLIN:
Then that means. Both Events are definitely connected!
Maybe the Perp is even in this Country!
EVAN:
Great Idea Jacklin. I bet we will find them if we wander around this Wasteland
for a week.
FELIX:
We still have this Tracker Device. I’m sure we can-
*While Felix is
talking a Police Officer walks through the Portal
POLICEMAN: Hey get- Wat the?!
EVAN:
Jesus Christ close the Fucking Portal already!
*Felix reflexively
closes the Portal behind the Policeman.
POLICEMAN: Felix
is that y- IS THAT EVAN?!
VIVIAN:
Woooooow! Great Job keeping your End of the Bargain
Felix. Now what are we gonna do?
FELIX:
Well- uh- I mean
POLICEMAN:
Bargain?! Felix? wat’s going on. *The Policeman reaches for his Pistol
*Evan reaches
inside his Coat in response.
VIVIAN:
Guess we gotta kill him.
*Jacklin positions
herself between them
JACKLIN:
Wait wait wait! We don’t
kill people.
POLICEMAN: Talkin
Dragon?!
JACKLIN:
Ok now that’s just rude.
*The Policeman,
seeing what he is up against, decides to run away as fast as he can.
FELIX:
WAIT! Where are you going?!
VIVIAN:
Welp. The Problem solved itself.
JACKLIN:
No it hasn’t! He’s stranded in an entirely different
Country! Who knows what might happen to him.
*In the Distance
they can see the Policeman getting forcibly picked up by 4 People riding a
rusty Pickup Truck.
JACKLIN:
Like that! After him!
*Felix and Evan
start running. Jacklin immediately Explosion Jumps ahead.
VIVIAN:
Fiiiiiiiine.
*Vivian flies
closely behind Jacklin. Evan and Felix fall behind, due to being Ground bound.
*Jacklin catches
up the Truck and Tackles one of the Men, who is currently holding down the
Policeman while the other is taking all the Valuables off of
him. They are all bare chested and wearing Metal Bull
Masks.
*Vivian pulls up
to the Driver’s Door and opens it. While the Driver is surprised, she grabs him
and tosses him onto the Ground.
VIVIAN:
Should’ve worn a Seatbelt, Idiot.
*She then Plops
herself onto the Driver’s seat and turns the Car around. The Guy in the
Passenger Seat is not amused and tries to stab her the Throat. This does
nothing. Jacklin uses the Inertia to throw the other
Guy overboard.
*Vivian pulls out
the Knife from her Throat and stabs the Passenger in the Arm with it. He
screams in Pain. She then stops the Car.
VIVIAN:
This is our Car now. Get out.
?: But-
*Vivian twists her Head a perfect 90° towards him.
?: Ok. *He
slowly gets out of the Car.
JACKLIN:
Oh, and take your Buddy with you. *She throws the unconscious Gang
Member in front of the Stabbed one.
JACKLIN:
Seeya.
*They drive off
towards Evan and Felix.
POLICEMAN: … You …
saved me???
JACKLIN:
Course we did. Cause that’s what Heroes do! *She smiles at
him.
*They catch up to
Evan and Felix, who are both out of Breath. Evan also changed out of his
Hoodie.
POLICEMAN: Ok
Felix. Explain.
EVAN:
Hey Buddy, don’t forget what Position you’re in. *Evan grabs him by
his Shirt.
EVAN:
Here’s how this is going down-
JACKLIN:
Eh-hem. Didn’t I tell you not to hurt any Police Officers?
*After
deliberating for a Moment Evan lets him go.
POLICEMAN: I just
want some Answers.
VIVIAN:
How about a Deal then. We tell you what’s going on and in return you promise
not to tell anyone what you saw here today.
POLICEMAN: Well, I
can’t promise-
*Vivian gets right
into his Face
VIVIAN: Don’t forget. You owe us your
Life.
POLICEMAN: I-Yes
Ma’am!
FELIX:
So, in short-
*Felix is about to
give an overly detailed explanation before he gets cut off by Vivian, who tells
him that they are on a Secret Mission investigating the Moon Explosion. They
then give him a basic description of what to say when he returns. After that
they unceremoniously send him back through a Portal to exactly where he was
before.
EVAN:
What a waste of time. He’s definitely going to rat us
out.
VIVIAN:
Does that mean we can kill Felix now?
FELIX:
Wait wha-
EVAN:
Well. He didn’t hold up his End of the Bargain. So…
FELIX:
Ok now hold on. You can’t prove that he will rat us out. So
let’s hold off on that, ok?
JACKLIN:
Don’t worry Felix! I won’t let them lay a Finger on you. You’re safe as long as
you’re with me.
FELIX:
Haha yeah.
VIVIAN:
Well, at the very least he can’t do anything to us
here. This Place obviously doesn’t have Laws. Also! We got a Car out of it.
FELIX:
That should make looking around a lot easier.
*Evan gets in the
Driver’s seat. Felix in the Passenger’s. Jacklin and Vivian lie down in the
Back. Felix pulls out the GPS and they drive towards the closest Location with
a big Magic Reading. The Ride takes a couple Hours. Another Bandit Gang tries
to take over their Vehicle. Vivian shoots their Tires. As they get closer, they
come across some scattered reanimated Corpses. Evan runs them over. Jacklin
takes a nap at one Point. Eventually they reach the Destination, but-
FELIX:
There’s nothing here.
JACKLIN:
Is it broken?
VIVIAN:
Maybe it’s in the sky?
EVAN:
Or more likely underground.
JACKLIN:
Underground? Oh! Someone buried it like a Pirate’s Treasure.
EVAN:
Uh, no.
*He points to a
sign reading “Secret Government Bunker. DU NOT ENTER!”
VIVIAN:
Government, huh. That probably has some info. Let’s enter.
*The Path
underground is blocked off by fallen Rubble. Jacklin easily blasts it out of
the way. All Doors are left open, but some are in total disrepair. The Walls
are Concrete and there is no natural Light. Felix brings out a Flashlight. The
only Life left is Bugs and some Mushrooms that found their way inside.
JACKLIN:
Wow it stinks in here.
*There is a
skeleton sitting in front of a huge Computer.
VIVIAN:
A true Gamer right until the End.
FELIX:
This seems like the Main Computer of this Facility.
EVAN:
Hey, get out of the way. *Evan pushes the skeleton out of its
Chair.
FELIX:
Don’t think there is much use in that. At least not without electricity.
JACKLIN:
Where would we get electricity here?
EVAN:
They might have a Backup Generator, but it’s most likely already dead.
*The Skeleton
reaches for Jacklin’s Leg. JACKLIN: AAHHH!!!
*Evan smashes its
Skull in with his Sledgehammer.
VIVIAN:
Well, something in here obviously still has Energy. Maybe we can use that
somehow.
*They follow the
GPS through several Corridors. On the way they look into
any Side Rooms they can. Most inhabit Office Spaces, Machine Workshops and
Testing Rooms. The Air is rancid and Claustrophobic.
EVAN:
Guess they were developing some new Weaponry.
FELIX:
Nothing that could help against a Nuke though.
JACKLIN:
Maybe it’s a good thing this Place blew up.
*Some of the Rooms
have dead Bodies in them. A few twitch as they look inside.
JACKLIN:
Can we leave maybe? This feels wrong.
VIVIAN:
Come on. You’re acting like you have never seen a dead body before.
JACKLIN:
Maybe you guys are TOO chill with Zombies and Corpses…
*The Signal’s Location
is blocked by a Door with a big Pile of Bodies that all tried to get inside. It
has been seemingly worn down by the People clawing at it.
JACKLIN:
Eugh. Yeah. something is in there alright. But how do we get in.
EVAN:
You could- JACKLIN:
I’m not blowing up the Bodies.
EVAN:
Fair enough
FELIX:
There!
*Felix points
towards a crack at the Top of the Door, as big as a Cat door.
VIVIAN:
Ah. It’s my turn then.
*Vivian takes off
her Hand and flies with it through the Crack. Inside there is a robot in what
appears to be Military Clothing and “Hair“ made out of
Purple Sheet Metal. There is a Glowing Crystal inside its Chest. It is hooked
up to a Battery that reads “Backup Power”. Vivian flips a Switch on it. The
Lights go on inside the entire Facility, as well as any Doors and Security
Cameras. Vivian comes back out.
VIVIAN:
EZ.
*A Voice comes on
from the Intercom
INTERCOM:
|Unauthorized Entry Detected. Please Identify Yourself.|
EVAN:
Could you have left the Security System off?
INTERCOM:
|Please Identify Yourself. Or You Will Be Dealt With.|
*Felix pulls out
an ID Card and holds it up to a Camera.
FELIX:
My Name is Felix. I’m a Detective for the Hinscheidean
Government. I’m here for a uhh, Routine Inspection.
INTERCOM:
|Foreign Intelligence Detected. Initiating Lockdown.|
*Several Doors slam shut around them. The Door to the Robot begins to
open slowly. Claws grab onto its Sides from inside.
VIVIAN:
Guys. I think we might want to go.
*Felix opens a Portal. They go back to the Room with the Main Computer. The Computer is now on. It reads “Please Enter Password”.
FELIX:
Password?
EVAN:
Try “Password1234” *It doesn*t work.
FELIX:
Hold on. *Felix inserts a
Password Cracker via USB into the Device
FELIX:
This might take a while.
JACKLIN:
Do you always carry that around.
FELIX:
You never know.
*After several
Minutes the Percentage slowly creeps up…
JACKLIN:
Hey out of curiosity. Does the Security System know we are in
here?
*As if on Command
the Door behind them opens, revealing the Robot behind it.
VIVIAN:
Alright time to-
*The Robot fires a
Laser Beam from its Right Arm Cannon. Jacklin grabs Vivian and runs through a
broken Door, while Evan and Felix hide behind some Rubble.
JACKLIN:
Ok. This is it. The big Showdown.
*Evan and Felix
take out their Guns. They peek out barely from behind cover and shoot the Robot
who is slowly walking towards them. The Bullets seem to have no effect. They
Duck back.
EVAN:
Ok. What now.
FELIX:
I guess we die now.
*Before the Robot
reaches them Vivian’s Ghost comes up behind the Robot and grabs its Crystal. In
Response the Robot goes Haywire, using several other Functions at random,
including a Rocket Launcher and Circular Saw.
EVAN:
RUN!
*Both of them make a Run for the Door that the Robot entered
from. The Explosion from the Rocket causes the Roof on Jacklin’s side of the
Room to cave in. Trapping her on the other side.
VIVIAN: Crap… *Vivian lets go of the Robot and flies
back through the Wall towards Jacklin.
EVAN: Ok. Fuck that info. Let’s just Portal to Jacklin and Vivian and get out
of here!
FELIX:
What?! No! I need to see what’s on there.
EVAN:
Then give me the Key. I am not dying for some Computer Files.
FELIX:
Ok, ok. *Felix searches
his pocket.
FELIX:
…
EVAN:
What?
FELIX:
I, uh, I just remembered. I put it on the same keychain as my USB Stick…
EVAN:
The one that is in that Computer Room with the Killer Robot.
FELIX:
…
EVAN:
I am going to strangle you. But first we have to
somehow loop back around.
*The Robot calms
down and walks after the 2 of them steadily.
*Jacklin tries to
break through the collapsed Wall, but to no avail.
VIVIAN:
Guess we just have to go around. I have better places
in mind to get buried under, if you know what I mean haha.
JACKLIN:
Uhh. Sure. VIVIAN: Guess she didn’t get it.
*Evan and Felix took 2 Right turns and are now blocked off by a locked Door.
EVAN:
Nope.
FELIX:
Hold on, this one has some Wires loose. I bet I can make it open this way.
*Felix sticks his
head into a Hole next to the Door.
*After a Minute
Evan hears the Robot from behind a Corner.
EVAN:
Ok. We need to go. Now.
FELIX:
I almost did it. Just one second.
EVAN:
I don’t care. I’m not saving you if the Robot-
FELIX:
Put this one here and this one-
EVAN:
Fuck this. *Evan starts going
into a Side Room
*The Robot is
about to Round the Corner.
FELIX:
Ok, Done. *Felix
tries to pull himself out of the hole. A severed Arm grabs the Collar of his
Jacket.
FELIX:
Oh crap. I’m stuck.
EVAN:
Oh for the Love of-
*Evan runs up to
Felix and grabs him from behind as the Robot comes around the Corner. Upon
seeing them it immediately fires a Rocket at them. Evan gets launched into the
Side Room along with Felix. The Robot follows them in. It is a Kitchen. The
Robot scans the Room but cannot find them. It leaves to continue its Search.
*Jacklin blasts a
Hole in a Wall.
JACKLIN:
There! Looks like we’re back in the main Area. Now let’s regroup with the Boys.
VIVIAN:
I already checked where they are. Let me mark it on your Minimap.
*There is no Minimap
JACKLIN:
Sure… I heard an Explosion from that Direction earlier. Let’s check there.
*They head over.
The Door Felix was fixing was completely Blown open. They hear a banging Sound
from a Room nearby. Vivian peeks inside. The banging is coming from inside the
Freezer. Vivian peeks inside and sees Evan and Felix are huddled up in there.
*She opens it up. Evan
and Felix tumble out of the Freezer in the Kitchen.
JACKLIN:
Good to know you’re alright. I was worried the Robot got to you first. Now come
on.
*She and Vivian
head out first. Felix and Evan lag behind for now.
FELIX:
……You saved me……
EVAN:
Yeah. You better appreciate it, that Explosion hurt like a Bitch.
FELIX:
No, I mean, why? Why did you- I thought you-
EVAN:
Let’s talk about this later. We aren’t out of the Woods yet.
*They go out to
the others. When they hear-
INTERCOM:
|Self Destruct Initiated. 5 Minutes until Self Destruct.|
EVAN:
WHAT!?
FELIX:
Guess it didn’t find us, so it just decided to blow the whole Place up. Time to
go!
*They run to the
Main Computer Room as fast as possible. They see the Robot connected to the computer.
EVAN:
(This is our Chance to get the Drop on it.)
JACKLIN:
(Won’t it attack us as soon as it hears us?)
EVAN:
(Not if we do it well. Felix, use your Stun Gun on it. That should give us
enough Time.)
*Felix springs in
and shoots the Robot with the Stun Gun. This causes the Robot to disconnect and
turn around. Next Vivian throws her Ghost around the Robot’s Arm Cannon, pointing
it directly down. Jacklin then Blasts herself into the Robot’s Side, knocking
it over. It uses its free Arm to grab onto Jacklin’s Neck and lifts her into
the Air. Evan then comes in and Smashes the Robot directly on the Crystal in
its Chest, knocking it out of its Socket.
*But the Robot is
still moving. Vivian loses Control of the Arm, and it starts charging its Laser
aimed at Jacklin. Her Eyes turn red as she is about to lose consciousness.
Felix comes in and shoots the Robot into its Chest Hole. Breaking its
Motherboard. The Robot falls limp.
JACKLIN:
*Cough* That could’ve gone better.
EVAN:
Well. We now got this Thing, I guess. *He picks up the Crystal.
EVAN:
Here you go Big Man.
*He throws it over
to Felix. It has a warm, empowering Feeling.
VIVIAN:
Glad that’s over.
INTERCOM:
|2 Minutes until Self Destruct.|
JACKLIN:
Wait that didn’t stop the Timer?!
EVAN:
Shit! Ok We need to go! *He pulls out the Key (and USB) from the computer
FELIX:
No! I-I-I’m sure I can stop it. *He sits down at the Computer with Crystal
in his Lap. The computer reads “Please input Password to stop Self Destruct
Sequence.” He begins inputting random Passwords.
INTERCOM:
|1 Minute until Self Destruct.|
VIVIAN:
Why do you even NEED a Password to PREVENT the Self Destruct? Did these People
WANT to die?
*Evan opens a
Portal to the Outside of the Bunker. Felix is still typing, his typing getting faster every second. Jacklin and Vivian go out.
EVAN:
Dude. Come on!
FELIX:
I can do this!
INTERCOM:
|30 Seconds until Self Destruct.|
*Electricity arcs
from his Fingertips towards the Keyboard. The Crystal glows slightly. No
Correct Password yet.
EVAN:
You will die if you stay here!
*Evan tries to
grab Felix but gets shocked upon touching him.
FELIX:
I don’t care if I die! I just need to know! I just have to-
INTERCOM:
|10 Seconds until Self Destruct. Goodbye.|
FELIX:
STOP THIS SELF DESTRUCT!
*Felix slams his Head
onto the Keyboard. Electricity fills his entire Body, and then the entire
Computer. The whole Room goes black. After a couple Seconds the Power comes
back on.
*”Password
Accepted” appears on the Screen. Jacklin and Vivian come back inside.
JACKLIN: What just happened? What was that?
FELIX:
I…..don’t know. But I guess I did it.
…
FELIX:
I guess we can now look at what we can find on here…
*Felix opens up several Files on the Computer. The Rest settle
right behind him. His motions are of one very familiar with this kind of Work. However,
the only Mentions of the Moon are some basic Notes about the Fallout that
occurred afterwards. No Information on a Possible Perpetrator.
VIVIAN:
This is boring.
*Vivian wrestles
the Mouse away from Felix.
VIVIAN:
I want to see if they have Evan on a Watchlist in this Country.
*Vivian navigates
to the Government Watchlist and starts looking through it.
EVAN:
I doubt it. I was 6 when this Place blew up.
*She Scrolls over
a Child called Isaac
EVAN:
Wait. Hold on! Go back!
*The Child looks
like Isaac if she was a 10 Year old Boy.
JACKLIN:
Why is a Child on a Watchlist?
FELIX:
“Child of a Goddess. Keep under Watch.” Huh?
EVAN:
HER of all People?!
*They navigate to
said Mother. A Faceless, Tall and pure White Being with animalistic Features,
“An agreement was reached, do not let her existence be known.”
VIVIAN:
Huh…
*As well as her sister
Lucy, who reads, “She is still a Baby, but already she possesses incredible
Power.”
JACKLIN:
That has to be the cutest Mugshot I have ever seen.
FELIX:
That’s the last Person I expected to see on here.
EVAN:
You Guys realize what this means, right? This List was made BEFORE the Moon
exploded.
FELIX:
Wait, you’re right. I thought there were no non-humans on Earth until then.
VIVIAN:
HAH, I found the Clue and YOU didn’t. *She points at Felix.
JACKLIN:
So, what do we do now? We don’t really have a way to contact her.
FELIX:
Well, not her. But we can probably contact someone who’s with her.
*The Gang all
looks at Jacklin.
JACKLIN:
… Wait you don’t mean.
FELIX:
I mean. There’s nothing weird about calling your twin sister.
JACKLIN:
Come on. I’m sure there’s another-
…
JACKLIN:
Fine.
*They return to
the Surface (after realizing there is no signal so far Underground). Their Car
has been stolen. No one is really surprised nor do
they care. Jacklin takes out her Phone, sighs, and then calls her sister.
ZOEY:
Hello?
JACKLIN:
Heeeeey Zoey.
ZOEY:
Oh Wow! Never thought that YOU would call ME. What’s up.
JACKLIN:
Yeah, we uh, kinda need to meet up with your Friend
Isaac.
ZOEY:
Really? Why?
EVAN:
(Lie!)
JACKLIN:
Evan wants a rematch.
ISAAC:
WHAT DID I JUST HEAR!?
*Evan facepalms.
ISAAC:
WHERE? WHEN?
EVAN:
Please at least pick a Place where I’m not wanted in.
JACKLIN:
Uhh. Kadava. Whenever you have Time.
ISAAC:
ALRIGHT! I’M COMING RIGHT NOW!
RENE:
NO YOU DON’T! WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!
JACKLIN:
Wait. Where are you Guys right now?
LUCY:
We are in the Verrotian Jungle! Rene Is being eaten
by a Plant.
ISAAC:
Okay maybe not today. We will get there when we get there, so BE READY!
*Isaac turns off
the Phone.
FELIX:
So how do we get to Kadava?
JACKLIN:
Oh, I can just teleport us there. It’s where I grew up.
FELIX:
Ah right.
EVAN:
Guess we have some free time then. Good. I feel like I haven’t rested in 2
whole days.
VIVIAN: Probably because you haven’t
JACKLIN:
I kinda wonder what the heck they are doing all the
way over in Verrot though.
EVAN:
I don’t. Let’s get out of here.
Chapter 2B
*Lucy pulls Rene
out of a giant Flesh-eating Plant. The 4 of them are in an extremely dense
Jungle. Isaac is cutting through some Vines.
ISAAC:
Can you stop getting yourself caught?
RENE:
You told me to check in there!!
ISAAC:
Yeah yeah, whatever.
ZOEY:
I hate the Jungle. Way too many Bugs.
LUCY:
I like the Bugs here. They are much bigger than at home. Like this one!
*She picks up a
huge Beetle and shows it right in Zoey’s Face.
LUCY:
The Titanus Gigante- ZOEY:
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*Zoey almost
faints.
RENE:
Too bad Isaac lost her Tracker Device.
ISAAC:
EXCUSE ME?! I didn’t LOSE it! It was STOLEN from me!
LUCY:
Who has it now?
ISAAC:
Sadly there is no way to know. There must be another
way to locate him though.
LUCY:
HEEEEEEEY! PLANT GUY! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!
*No response
ZOEY:
Worth a shot, I guess. Maybe we should just keep following the
Greenery. The thicker it gets the closer we are. Probably.
ISAAC:
But that’s such a Paaaaain.
LUCY:
What if they just live in that House over there?
*She points at a large
Concrete Building that is overgrown with Foliage, which can be seen through a Clearing.
RENE:
Huh.
ISAAC:
Better that than more Vine Cutting. Let’s go Gang.
*They get out of
the Jungle and into the Concrete Jungle that is now also a regular Jungle as
well too.
*The City is completely silent.
*They walk into a
nearby Building and look around.
ISAAC:
Kinda Dark. Hey Rene! Flashlight.
RENE:
What’s the Magic Word?
ISAAC:
RENE!
RENE:
Yes Ma’am!
*Rene produces a
Light from his Hand.
ISAAC:
Now. If I were a Plant Criminal that I know nothing about. Where would I hide?
Hmm.
ZOEY:
Maybe- ISAAC:
Well, I got nothing. Let’s split up. Everyone check a
random Building and scream as loud as you can if you find something,
LUCY:
Okay!
*Lucy runs off into
another Room.
ZOEY:
No seriously. What if we just cut our losses, go back to the Boss, and tell him
we need a new Tracker. This feels like a huge waste of time.
ISAAC:
NO!!...
ISAAC:
I mean. No. I can’t do that.
ZOEY:
Why?
ISAAC:
I just won’t. They will think that I messed things up even though it wasn’t my
fault! At all! Now go looking.
*Zoey goes through
a Hallway, looking outside the Windows.
ISAAC:
You too Rene.
RENE:
Before that… Can you take your Eyepatch off real quick?
ISAAC:
I- No. Why would I?
RENE:
Just feels weird to see you still wearing it. Can’t you just shapeshift
yourself a new eye?
ISAAC:
It’s… not that simple, okay?
RENE:
Are you saying you CAN’T do it?
*Rene gets
unnaturally serious.
RENE:
That would be a problem.
LUCY:
HEEEEEYY! PLANT GUY! WHERE ARE YOOOOUUUUU!!!
*Her Voice echoes
through the empty Streets.
…
*The Ground begins
shaking.
RENE:
Oh, that’s not Good.
*The Street, along
with the House next to it lifts itself off of the
Ground. It tilts and Zoey and Rene slide off into a nearby Lake. Isaac shifts
her Hand into a Claw and holds onto the Road. Lucy falls out of the Window.
Isaac tries to catch her but ends up falling as well.
*They all fall
unconscious.
*When they wake up,
they are all tied to Posts in the middle of a Village. Rene is upside Down. They
are surrounded by humanoid Villagers. They are all wearing Clothing made out of Foliage and Plants, with the
exception of one who is just wearing a Shirt and Jeans. He seems
embarrassed.
*They part ways to
give way for a Figure fully draped in obscenely Regal Clothing, including a
Mask fashioned out of a Tiger Skull. It walks up to the Group and takes off the
Mask. Below it his Face is completely Green, and his Hair is made
out of Leaves.
ISAAC:
*Gasp* YOU!
DAN:
Sup. I’m Dan. Heard you were looking for me?
*Isaac pulls a
Knife out of her Back and cuts her Hands Free.
ISAAC:
About Time we found you. Time for your last Words!
ZOEY:
Wait wait wait wait wait- We aren’t here to kill him! This is a Rescue Mission!
ISAAC:
Wait it is?
RENE:
YOU FORGOT?!
ISAAC:
Hey, can you blame me. It took us FOREVER to get here.
ZOEY:
We were asked by his Girlfriend to bring him back, because he has been missing
for Years.
DAN:
Oh Damn, you guys know Hydra?
ZOEY:
Yes!
DAN:
Awesome.
…
ZOEY:
So…, we can take you back to her. Right?
DAN:
Nah.
ZOEY:
Nah?
DAN:
Nah.
ISAAC:
What do you mean Nah?!
DAN:
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see her again. But these guys kind of rely on
me. When I found them, they didn’t know how to take care of themselves. So, I
made some Crops grow for them and they started worshipping me like some kind of
God or something.
GUY: Well yeah.
How else do you explain your Powers.
DAN:
They do have a good point there.
*Isaac starts
cutting the other Guys free one by one.
ISAAC:
Well, that’s not really my Problem. Our Job is to bring you back to your
Girlfriend. Apparently.
These Guys aren’t important to us.
DAN:
That’s not very nice.
*The Ground begins
to rumble.
DAN:
Maybe you should leave.
ISAAC:
In that Case you don’t leave us a Choice.
*She finishes
cutting Free Rene.
ISAAC:
Gang! Get ready!
*Skipping ahead
Several Minutes of fighting. Many of the Villagers are unconscious on the
Floor, The Ground is filled with Plants of different kinds, all cut up, ripped
apart, shot or singed. The Gang is standing over Dan, who is lying on the
Floor. They are all not too worse for
wear.
LUCY:
Thanks to me!
ISAAC:
Yes. Thank you Lucy.
RENE:
Can I get some thanks?
ISAAC:
No.
ZOEY:
So… will you come with us now?
DAN:
… Yeah sure. This is way too much work anyway.
RENE:
Finally.
ISAAC:
Now let’s get outta here. I hate the Jungle.
DAN:
I just hope these Guys will be Ok.
ISAAC:
They’ll figure it out.
LUCY:
I still don’t think it’s as bad here as you guys say.
*They step into a
Portal and leave the Jungle for good.
*Evan, Vivian,
Felix and Jacklin step out of the Portal. They are in the middle of a Giant
City filled with Skyscrapers. A couple Streets away there is a Harbor with
Ships. It is late in the Evening.
EVAN:
This is what Kadava looks like huh. Never got the Chance to travel here.
JACKLIN:
It’s pretty cool. We have Super Heros here you know?
EVAN:
Yeah. I saw on the News that a Fight took out a whole
City Block here recently. Must be pretty crazy living
here.
JACKLIN:
Well…
VIVIAN:
I bet you could take out a whole City Block too if you set your mind to it.
FELIX:
It’s nice to at least be back in Civilization. If that Robot had killed us
nobody would’ve ever found us.
VIVIAN:
Except maybe some Bandits and Graverobbers.
EVAN:
You know… I wonder.
*Evan walks up to
a random Person on the Sidewalk
EVAN:
Do you know who I am?
PERSON: No?
EVAN:
Great.
*Evan gives him 2
Thumbs up and walks back.
EVAN:
Don’t even have to disguise myself here.
*Jacklin Yawns.
JACKLIN:
Maybe we should head in for the night.
FELIX:
Your Parents live here, right? Can we stay at-
JACKLIN:
Absolutely not.
FELIX:
Fair enough. Let’s just go to a hotel.
*At a nearby and
noticeably affordable Hotel.
FELIX:
I will be sharing a Room with Evan and Jacklin will be sharing
with Vivian.
JACKLIN:
Oh… *She
gets close to Felix. (Could I maybe not share a Room with Vivian? She kinda scares me.)
FELIX:
(Sorry. I still don’t trust them to not just Run away during the Night if we
don’t keep an eye on them.)
JACKLIN:
(I guess it’s still better than sharing a Room with Evan. Marginally.)
*In the Room. Evan
and Felix are getting ready to sleep.
FELIX:
Hey Evan. Can I ask you something?
EVAN:
What?
FELIX:
Why did you save me?
EVAN:
Hm?
FELIX:
You had the Chance to leave me to Die out there. If it wasn’t for you that
Robot might have gotten to me. You probably could’ve gotten away with it. You
could’ve just said that I-
EVAN:
Well. We have a Deal, don’t we? I help you with your
Conspiracy Theory and in return you get me a new Life.
Simple as that.
FELIX:
(That doesn’t seem right…) Could it be…
That you also want to find out what happened to the Moon?
EVAN:
What?
FELIX:
You don’t seem scared of getting your Hands dirty. You probably want to catch
the Guy that did this as much as I do.
EVAN:
Sure. What are you even going to do when you catch the Guy that caused it?
FELIX:
Well. Throw him in jail obvious…ly…
EVAN:
You never thought that far, did you? That Guy blew up the MOON Man! You really
think he is going to just let himself get caught? There isn’t even a Guarantee
that it was just one Person. It could be a whole Government at play here. Do
you think we can take down a whole fucking Government Felix? Be honest.
FELIX:
Well no. I-
EVAN:
Even if we find the Guy. They will probably kill us before we can even get
close to them.
…
EVAN:
Actually. Tell me. Why do YOU want to find the Guy?
FELIX:
Well. A couple Years ago there was an incident. My Husband was at home and I was out getting Groceries. Then when I arrive Home I see a Moon Piece fall right onto our House.
FELIX:
I tried to run in to save him, but I was too late. Before I got to him the Roof
collapsed onto me and him. I managed to survive, though they had to amputate my
Arm. My Husband. Well…
EVAN:
But how is that related to the Moon exploding?
FELIX:
Because that Moon Piece didn’t fall normally. It just suddenly appeared in the
Sky through a Portal like- like these Keys create. But nobody believed me. And
whoever can create those Portals can also be the one that Teleported the Bombs
onto the Moon. And they are still out there.
EVAN:
And have a personal Vendetta against you?
FELIX:
MAYBE?!
FELIX:
So yeah. I will not stop looking for him, even if it kills me. But you? You
could’ve just gone back to your Life before all this. In fact, you don’t even
think we can win at all so-
EVAN:
Ah yes. How I long to be sleeping in a Car again while running from the Police.
FELIX:
But then why didn’t you let me die?...
EVAN:
It’s not that hard. You can figure it out, Mr. Detective.
*Evan walks in the
Bathroom. Leaving Felix alone to think.
