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.
