Transcript

{Cut to the boss trio in front of the Plasma 2000.}

TAMPO: Stardate: A few hours since we arrived here. We're going to answer an email on the old Plasma. Because... it's old and awesome. And because the Overseer's getting our room set up.

BRODY: And you know how Tampo loves his emails.

TAMPO: Yep. So... {email rap} Email come! Email go! Email everyone ya know!

{Stlunko clicks on the email icon and a pop-up is displayed on the Plasma's screen with the email on it. Although the screen is cracked, the email is easy to read. Tampo reads it outloud.}

{Tampo says a lengthened long "O" sound for the "ooo..." line.}

TAMPO: 1-Up? What's 1-Up emailing us for? And um... what are Alpha-Bits?

STLUNKO: Alpha-Bits were a cereal first created way back in the year 1958. They were shaped like letters of the English alphabet to encourage learning.

BRODY: So what's 1-Up's doing with them?

STLUNKO: A few years ago a cereal company remade Alpha-Bits with special nano-bots inside that actually teach young kids the alphabet when they eat them.

TAMPO: And 1-Up is eating them because...

BRODY: He's stupid?

TAMPO: Probably. So 1-Up's just typing down gibberish that he learned from the Alpha-Bits?

STLUNKO: Not nessecarily. Some speculate that these nanobots can somehow predict the future and will give this knowledge to their eaters in an encrypted code.

TAMPO: But... this is just a bunch of O's.

STLUNKO: Maybe. But let me try something...

{Stlunko brings up another pop-up and types some code onto it. The computer beeps and the following message appears.}

TAMPO: ...okay.

STLUNKO: Wait, I am not done. {types again, causing the message to change}

BRODY: Still too many X's.

STLUNKO: One last step.

{Stlunko starts typing in more code, causing the X's to change to other characters one at a time, quickly revealing the following message.}

TAMPO: {reads quietly, then speaks} What the-? How- where'd you get that message?

STLUNKO: From the AlphaBits.

TAMPO: But how? It was just a bunch of O's sent by 1-Up!

STLUNKO: That is what "they" want you to believe.

TAMPO: What?!

BRODY: So the Overseer is mad at us. I thought he acted suspicious with his introduction and all.

TAMPO: But... he can't be evil! I like it here! This is much better than working all the time in the Lava Zone. Maybe these things are wrong... I mean, when was the last time we got an accurate warning from an email?

{Cut to a flashback of the boss trio in front of the SuperCom. There's an email onscreen, and Tampo reads it outloud.}

{Cut back to the boss trio at the damaged Plasma 2000.}

TAMPO: Oh. Well, that doesn't prove anything.

STLUNKO: Stop denying the obvious, Tampo.

TAMPO: What do you mean? Who's more trustworthy? Our loyal ex-minion or some breakfast cereal.

THE OVERSEER: {calling from another room} Masters! We finished preparing your doom- {coughs} I mean, room.

{Brody and Stlunko stare at Tampo, who looks frustrated.}

TAMPO: Okay, okay. We'll be extremely careful.

{The three leave the Plasma.}

{Cut to another room in the Robot Warehouse. There are a bunch of minions around, including the Overseer. The room looks like the boss trio's old bedroom, with two large doors on the sides. Tampo and Brody peer in and look around cautiosly. Stlunko stays behind while the other two enter the center of the room, with the little minions moving out of their way.}

TAMPO: Ah, our old bedroom. Just how I remember it.

THE OVERSEER: Yep. Down to every last detail. Um... {looks at Stlunko} Stlunko, can you come over here?

STLUNKO: Actually, I am fine with staying right here.

THE OVERSEER: But you need to come join your two friends.

{Brody and Tampo face Stlunko.}

STLUNKO: I can observe the room perfectly from here.

THE OVERSEER: Yeah, but... it's the light. The light from this perticular spot is just right. You can only apprieciate this perfect reconstruction in the proper light.

STLUNKO: I do not think so.

TAMPO: Overseer, what is going on?

THE OVERSEER: Um... nothing. Need anything?

TAMPO: Not really...

{Suddenly Stlunko starts moving forward, towards the other two bosses. Tampo and Brody look at him confused.}

TAMPO: Um, Stlunko, what are you doing?

STLUNKO: This is just rude.

{As Stlunko completely enters the room, we see that he is being pushed by a bunch of Greggos and Grundies. He is about to stop them when he, Tampo and Brody are trapped by a green forcefield that seperates them from the Overseer and his minions. The ones that were pushing Stlunko are just outside it.}

BRODY: A forcefield?

STLUNKO: The AlphaBits were right.

THE OVERSEER: {laughing} Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Didn't see that coming, did you?

BRODY: Actually-

THE OVERSEER: Yes, we are still upset about you leaving us here for dead. So naturally, we plotted revenge. And now look!

TAMPO: Okay, so you captured us. Uh... now what?

THE OVERSEER: We haven't gotten that far yet, but I assure you, we will have our complete revenge.

{The crowd of minions mutter in agreement.}

TAMPO: Oh. That sucks.

THE OVERSEER: Anyway, when we-

{Suddenly a bunch of SWAT robots enter from the doors and roof, damging them. They fill the room and startle the Overseer, his minions and the boss trio, who freeze.}

A SWAT ROBOT: This is the police. Tampo, Brody and Stlunko, you three are under arrest. The rest of you will be penalized for housing criminal refugees.

ANOTHER SWAT ROBOT: {quietly} I told you I saw them enter this place.

THE OVERSEER: But we weren't housing them! Look, we were capt-

{Suddenly a bright light flashes twice, and the Overseer and his minions fall down unconscious. The forcefield also deactivates. Tampo, Brody, Stlunko and the SWAT robots appear fine however. All the SWAT robots hold their guns at the trio.}

TAMPO: Um...

BRODY: Don't shoot me! {holds wings up}

STLUNKO: I am innocent. I never destroyed a chicken factory.

THE SWAT ROBOT: Silence!

{Suddenly Stinkoman and 1-Up enter through the doors, and Pan Pan smashes through the ceiling and onto a SWAT robot.}

STINKOMAN: See, 1-Up? I told you there were a bunch of challenges to be had here!

1-UP: Alright, challenge time!

{Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan start fighting the SWAT robots, who start fighting back. Tampo, Brody and Stlunko "crouch" as low as possible because of all the flying laser beams.}

PAN PAN: {squishing a SWAT robot} Badaling! Badaling!

{Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan knock out the last SWAT robot.}

STINKOMAN: Alright, it is now time to go after the BIG CHALLENGES!!! {points at boss trio}

TAMPO: {recovering} Prepare to fight.

{Before anything else happens, the room fills in with a bunch of Jaros, Greggos, Chorches, Terrells, Grundies, and Stobats coming in from both doors. They all have wide, hypnotized eyes.}

MINIONS: {slow voices, in unison} Stinkoman, we are here to cause you and your friends displeasure.

STINKOMAN: Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a CHALLENGE??!!!

{Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan start to fight the hypnotized minions. It turns into full-fledged chaos with dust everywhere.}

STLUNKO: It is our old army.

TAMPO: They're being hypnotized!

BRODY: My poor chickens!

{The entire room becomes filled with dust so that nothing else is visible, but sounds of fighting are still heard.}

{Cut to the field outside of the Robot Warehouse. One section has a bunch of cracks and holes in the roof with dust coming out. The fight can still be heard in the distance. Tampo, Brody and Stlunko run out of the Robot Warehouse's front door and approach the camera.}

BRODY: Whew. That was close.

STLUNKO: It is a good thing we got out of there while our opponents were preoccupied.

TAMPO: Yeah, well it stinks that this isn't a safe place for us. Guess it's back to the Lava Zone for us.

{A spaceship flies by overhead.}

STLUNKO: That was Saargtsson's spaceship.

TAMPO: I guess he's heading back. We better hurry to beat him.

BRODY: C'mon, let's go.

{The three leave the scene quickly.}

{After a few seconds we cut back to the Plasma 2000. Sounds of a fight can be heard in the distance. On the computer is the "Click here to email Tampo" pop-up.}

STINKOMAN: {after a few seconds, distant} DOUBLE DEUCE!!!!

Easter Eggs

  • Click on "Alpha-Bits" in 1-Up's email during Stlunko's first description of the cereal to see an very old box of it displayed onscreen.
View box.
  • Click on it again during Stlunko's second description of it to see a modern version.
{A box of Alpha-Bits with a similar logo and text. A red Chorch-like robot with legs is holding a spoon with milk and cereal in it, spelling out "SMART." A small tag on the corner has the text "now with auto-teaching nanobots" on it.}
  • At the end, click on the red "X" on the corner of the pop-up to learn what Saargtsson's mission was.
{Cut to some computer in the Lava Zone. On it is the following text, which is displayed for a few seconds.}

Fun Facts

  • This email begins where the last email "poorbt-mail" leaves off.
  • Tampo's email rap is identical to his email rap in the first Tampo Email "robot body."
  • Alpha-Bits really is an old cereal invented by Post Cereals back in 1958 to teach kids who play with their food.
  • Don't try to figure out how Stlunko cracked the Alpha-Bits' code.
  • In Stlunko's first attempt to crack the code, all the letter O's are normal albeit capitalized, all the other vowels are x, all the constanents are X, and all the punctuation marks are #.
  • In his second attempt all the vowels and punctuation marks are deciphered.
  • The brief flashback is from "revolution."
  • The Overseer's comment about the light is a joke taken from a similar situation in the VeggieTales episode: Esther: The Girl Who Became Queen.
  • Saargtsson's "new co-workers" are the Boss Trio Reloaded.
