Transcript

{Charles and Ghype are sitting at the Mechy 1337 in the middle of a crater.}

CHARLES: Where is Nebulon?

GHYPE: He said he went off to win things!

CHARLES: Nothing is around here. Besides that small town off in the distance.

GHYPE: I have a map! {He pulls a piece of paper out.}

CHARLES: That is a placemat.

GHYPE: I ordered Chinese!

CHARLES: China doesn't exist. You know, I think I will check an email to take a break from your inane banter.

{Charles reads the email.}

Dear Nebulon
Have you heard about the RGA?
AKA, The Rebellion of Good
Astromunds?
From
Cul

{Charles says "Dear Nebulon have..." without a pause. He does the same thing with From Cul.}

CHARLES: Well, Fromcul, no. I have heard of the NGA...

{Cut to Nebulon at his old base an a chair with a laser over his mouth.}

NEBULON: How did you talk we into this? I don't want a goatee!

GHYPE: Nebulon Goatee Application is easy and painless!

NEBULON: Besides, I'm a reptile. I don't have hair.

{Cut back to Charles.}

CHARLES: ...but, no, I've never heard of a Astromund rebellion. Or not a good one. Wait... Astromunds? Could it be...

GHYPE: Insert stupid reply!

CHARLES: That is Astrotown. The settlement of Astromunds, where Nebulon got his supply.

NEBULON: {offscreen} What are you two doing?

GHYPE: Checking email! There is a rebellion!

NEBULON: Of what?

CHARLES: Good Astromunds.

NEBULON: Oh, those guys. The nuts left about new months before Megaxe took the rest. Cameoed in some comic. Anyway, we need to stop at Astrotown.

CHARLES: Why?

NEBULON: I'm going to see their leader. He should be reasonable.

{Cut to the outskirts of the town.}

NEBULON: I'm going to see the leaders. You guys can go explore the rest of the town. Don't blow anything up,

ASTROMUND GUARD: Are you Nebulon?

GHYPE: No identifying features here!

ASTROMUND GUARD: Look, I'm blind, okay?

CHARLES: Perhaps you should move your shield away from your eyes.

{He does so.}

ASTROMUND GUARD: Whoa! Ghype! Your house is still in good condition.

NEBULON: Well, I'm off.

{He walks off, leaving Charles and Ghype behind.}

CHARLES: Your house is here? Why do you live with Astromunds?

GHYPE: Because they're hospital!

CHARLES: Take me to your house.

{They begin walking. Soon, a gigantic Astromund begins walking.}

HUGE ASTROMUND: Ah! It's you! And that old mayor they mentioned!

GHYPE: Who is that? I think he is huge!

CHARLES: That is Megaxe!

{The Astromund begins to run.}

GHYPE: A runner? I have ways of dealing!

{Ghype jumps up and knocks the Astromund over.}

MEGAXE: Uh! Ow. Okay, you got me. Like this settlement?

CHARLES: What are you doing here?

MEGAXE: I have the right to be in my hometown.

GHYPE: Are you doing battle and work for Bob?

MEGAXE: Nah. He was too annoying. Plus, he got thrown out of the tower.

CHARLES: A gigantic, ominous tower. We have to go there, don't we?

{Zoom into the Tower of Command.}

KEVIN: {offscreen} What are you looking at?

{Zoom back out to Nebulon in an office.}

ASTROMUND SECRETARY: {screechy voice} DO YOU HAVE AN APPPOINTMENT?

NEBULON: Uh, yeah.

FEMALE ASTROMUND: This better be important. I have a town to run.

ASTROMUND SECRETARY: THIS GUY IS NEBULON!

FEMALE ASTROMUND: Oh. I'll take care of this. {She walks into the room.} Come to beg us back?

NEBULON: Well, yeah, and... who are you?

FEMALE ASTROMUND: I was a minor drone until Megaxe began his revolution! He built this city, and-

NEBULON: {irritated} I don't care. Who are you?

FEMALE ASTROMUND: I am Gliece! Ruler of Astrotown!

NEBULON: Okay. So how about you join me again?

SEVERAL VOICES: {offscreen} No.

{Hundreds of lasers hit Nebulon and Gliece. They fall to the ground.}

ASTROMUND SECRETARY: TIME TO GO WREAK HOLLYWOOD STYLE HARVOC!

{Cut back to Charles and Ghype outside a mansion.}

CHARLES: Did you just hear something?

GHYPE: No, I don't have ears! You don't either!

CHARLES: Yes, I suppose that's true. Where is your house?

GHYPE: Right here!

CHARLES: You are kidding. You could never afford a house like this.

GHYPE: I forgot how I bought it!

{The door swings open.}

CHARLES: What happened?

{Pan in to show the mansion is in shambles. Everything is smashed, and there are wires hanging out of everything.}

GHYPE: Come upstairs and see more!

CHARLES: Why? Your entire house is destroyed.

{They head up anyway, and they enter a gigantic room with a computer.}

GHYPE: Do you like the upstairs way? We can crash here!
COMPUTER: {at same time} Do you like the upstairs way? We can crash here!

CHARLES: This is The Remote! I have to get Nebulon.

GHYPE AND COMPUTER: Pillows are downstairs!

{Cut to the empty room with Nebulon and Gliece unconcious.}

NEBULON: ...mmf...ugh... {He jerks awake.} What happened?

GLIECE: {waking up} The RGA isn't supposed to attack me! HELP!

NEBULON: Okay, I'm going to leave now.

GLIECE: Hold on! We have to exchange wits!

NEBULON: I'll pass. I should probably meet up with Charles and Ghype and tell them we're banned from our 100th city.

GLIECE: You know Ghype? The safekeeper of The Remote? Ugh... fine. I'll give you four Astromunds. They just arrived yesterday.

FOUR VOICES: {offscreen} At your service!

{The first one darts out.}

AST: Ast!

{The second one follows.}

RO: Ro!

{The third one leaps out to the other side of the room.}

MUND: Mund!

{The last one walks out slowly.}

CLYDE: Uh, uh... Clyde.

NEBULON: I don't want four Astromunds! This is an all or nothing thing! Besides, we have enough wacky personalities.

GLIECE: Fine. I'll join you instead.

NEBULON: Hello, my four new Astromund friends...

{Cut to Ghype's mansion.}

CHARLES: I have brought you eight pillows, fourteen blankets, a moose, and a jawbone. May I please get Nebulon now?

{Nebulon and the Four Astromunds enter.}

NEBULON: No need. {He turns to the Astromunds.} Can you guys go wear some earplugs and hide in a closet somewhere here?

AST: We'd be delighted!

{They run off to the stairs.}

NEBULON: What did you want to discuss so much that you actually wanted to see me for once?

CHARLES: This is The Remote.

NEBULON: What is The Remote? I don't have robotic access to the Internet.

CHARLES: The Remote is basically where all robots are controlled. This is where the robotic mind is stored. There are only three in the world.

NEBULON: So?

CHARLES: There is only one computer for each Remote. Each of them are supposed to be normal robots, but something is different. Those robots are the guardians of a third of the

world robots. And Ghype is one of the robots.

NEBULON: So, if Ghype dies...

CHARLES: Then a third of all robots die. Yes.

NEBULON: Oh. Crap.

GHYPE AND COMPUTER: Get the bagels upstairs in the pantry!

CHARLES: Yes...

{Charles and Nebulon leave. The camera moves towards the staircase where the four Astromunds are.}

ASTROMUNDS: Heh heh heh heh heh.

{Cut to Nebulon, Charles, and Ghype at the door.}

GHYPE: Don't you want to stay the night?

NEBULON: For the last time, no! We have to go to that tower.

CHARLES: Yes. The biggest threat of danger to this place is that tower.

NEBULON: Looks like it's already been threatened...

CHARLES: Another attack could destroy it. We have to move quickly.

{The camera zooms into the tower and enters a window.}

{Kevin is cleaning the meeting room.}

KEVIN: Nothing like Xty Dust to keep your room spic and span.

{A portal appears, and the four Astromunds come out.}

AST: Un!

{His Astomund disguise comes off, and he reveals himself as a futuristic Ungurait. The same thing happens to the next three.}

RO: GUR!

MUND: Max!

CLYDE: Clyde.

KEVIN: You guys are finished already?

AST/UN: Well, we set the trap. And we also found out some great news!

KEVIN: Yes?

AST/UN: You know The Remote? We found it!

{Cut back to Ghype's Mansion.}

GHYPE: So we leave now?

NEBULON: {irrirated} Yes!

{They open the door. The city is in flames.}

CHARLES: Must be the rebellion.

NEBULON: Uh oh. The exit's blocked.

GHYPE: I have the feeling this has been done before!

CHARLES: I have the solution. Mechy!

{The Mechy flies in.}

NEBULON: That can't fit all of us.

CHARLES: That is not my plan.

NEBULON: You don't mean... NO!

{Charles opens up "timetravel.exe" and sets 2005 as his coordininates.}

NEBULON: It's not okay... to press OK...

{Ghype does anyway. The Neby Trio finds itself dumped on The Moon in a crater.}

CHARLES: Now we will have to move about a mile east, and go back to the time we were at.

NEBULON: Why didn't we just go to one week in the future?

CHARLES: Because we need to be at the tower eventually.

GHYPE: {typing} In conclusion, NEB-1 is a guy. A green guy. Green reptile. May those words soothe you.
