Transcript
{Cut to Mitchell on the Lappy 486. Strong Bad walks onscreen}
STRONG BAD: What is this? A sequel to virus?
MITCHELL: That's right. The virus trilogy is now complete.
STRONG BAD: Trilogy? There are three- Wait! What are you doing on my computer?!
MITCHELL: Uhh, park!
{Fade to black. Cut to a scene from the original 1-Up email, virus. 1-Up is on the Lappy, but a red and black version of Gate from Mega Man X6 with a black coat teleports in and crashes most of the Lappy with him}
1-UP: Woah!
NARRATOR: {narrating} "Virus", was once a great motion picture, or some kind of 1-Up email.
{Cut to a scene from the 1-Up email, digital infection. Cut to 1-Up at the Windomac 30X6}
WINDOMAC 30X6: Virus downloaded.
NARRATOR: {narrating} Then there was the sequel, "Virus 2: Digital Infection"
{Fade to a black screen. 1-Up slowly appears onscreen}
NARRATOR: {narrator} Now be ready for the ultimate virus email adventure, {in deep voice} "Virus 3: Judgement Day".
1-UP: Huh? Who are you talking to?
NARRATOR: {narrator} Mr. Greg. The father of Cherry Greg.
{Cut to 1-Up standing in an Old-Timey Field standing in front of a man with black hair, who is obviously Mr. Greg}
1-UP: Oh, hello. What were you talking about just then?
OLD-TIMEY CHERRY GREG: Well actually I was just reading this piece of paper I found at the post office.
1-UP: Oh, I see.
{Old-Timey Cherry Greg leaves, as 1-Up looks around and stares at certain buildings}
1-UP: What is going on here? This doesn't look like 20X6, 30X2, 40X6, 2006, 2650, 4790 or even 1985.
{Old-Timey Strong Bad walks onscreen with the Strong Man and the Sneak}
THE SNEAKS: {wiggles nose}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Yes. This strange man is too colourful. The Strong Man, remove him from the sight of others before he makes a bright light that'll destroy the universe.
1-UP: Yes. I am colourful, you black and white rip-offs.
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: What, what?! Back and white rip-offs?! You baffoon! How dare you spoof our off-ripped pants!
1-UP: Errgh, what?
{The Sneak walks up to 1-Up and wiggles his nose}
1-UP: Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Now I know why you are colourful! You're an alien!
{1-Up spin-kicks Old-Timey Strong Bad into the Strong Man. The Strong Man gets up and looks at 1-Up, angrily}
THE STRONG MAN: MEGA-NANNY!
{The Strong Man grabs 1-Up's foot and spins him around three times before throwing him into the sky}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Good job! You deserve some fresh jam!
{The Strong Man grabs Old-Timey Strong Bad's head and spins him around three times before throwing him into the sky, just like he did to 1-Up. Cut to a post office with a telegrammaphone sitting in the right corner. 1-Up crashes through the roof and lands on the floor on his butt, right next to the telegrammaphone. 1-Up gets up, but then Old-Timey Strong Bad crashes in the same way 1-Up did and lands on 1-Up}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: WAGH! It's telegram time! Where is that stupid the Sneak with my telegram?
1-UP: I thought it was the Sneack, {pronounces "Sneack" as "Snake"} not the Sneak.
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Oh, dang those poor telegram people of the future! They are always fighting over the Sneak!
{Short pause}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: {shouts} THE SNEAK!
{The Sneak walks onscreen and hands a piece of paper to Old-Timey Strong Bad using his mouth}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Good job, the Sneak. Maybe I should start putting you up for newspaper duty.
THE SNEAK: {wiggles nose with an angry face}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Because you remind me of a dog! That's why! NOW GO GET THOSE PARSNIPS!
{The Sneak runs offscreen, as Old-Timey Strong Bad stares at the telegram and starts to read}
OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD: Dear Infected #0004, Stop. You have received a- {stops reading} INFECTED #0004?! Oh no! I've caught a virus! I must go to that baffoon of a doctor!
{Old-Timey Strong Bad runs off, leaving the telegram on the table. 1-Up picks it up and starts reading. Cut to a close-up of the telegram}
Dear Infected #0004,
You have received a virus if you opened this email.
It will destroy the hard disk, and it is irreversible.
But you can buy a new computer
at Bubusuke's Mall for only $5,000,000,000,000,000
Come to the mall today!
Sincerely,
BubusukeSome Virus Guy
1-UP: Uh oh! Infected 0004? That means that the virus wars have started!
{Cut to Strong Bad at his Tandy, sometime during Strong Bad email #33}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Yep. I remember those days, Mike. Those were good days... {sniffs} good days.
{The email shrinks to the center of the screen with a powering-down noise}
STRONG BAD: {mutters} What the crap?! {the monitor sparks sharply} Whoa! Whgjht?
{The computer spontaneously explodes in Strong Bad's face covering his head in soot and ash. Cut to Bubs walking into the room a few years after the Tandy incident. Bubs has a tomato for a head and has Homestar's leg in his hand}
BUBS: I should of done this a million years ago!
{Bubs using Homestar's leg to shoot down the Compy, thus making it explode and everything returns to normal. Cut to 1-Up's computer, the Lappotron, in 20X6, still sitting in the Stinkoman HQ ofthe unaltered timeline}
LAPPOTRON: Well, my head asplode!
{The Lappotron explodes with no warning, and covers the screen. But at the same time, the background fizzles out of existance due to 1-Up's actions in the past. Cut to Homestar Runner with his acorn-type thing in his hand, from the email "instrument". Homestar blows into the acorn thing}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {typing} Darn, looks like it doesn't work. So until next time folks, see ya.
{The Cheat walks onscreen with his face all blown up, with a hammer in his hand. He jumps up on to the table that Homestar's computer is on}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Woah, hey the Cheat! What's up?
{The Cheat smashes Homestar's computer with the hammer. Cut back to 1-Up staring at the telegram}
1-UP: I have to get out of here and save them!
{The telegrammaphone explodes and sends 1-up flying out the door. Cut to a zooming background, in which 1-Up flies by}
1-UP: WAAAAAAGH!
{Cut to a Depot, in which 1-Up lands right next to Old-Timey Bubs}
OLD-TIMEY BUBS: Would you like some parsnips?
1-UP: No, but I'd like to kill you! I must kill you due to the fact that you sent me back in time, in order to take my pudding away from me!
OLD-TIMEY BUBS: Sorry. I can't hear you. I'm a little deaf in my left ear.
1-UP: {angry} Prepare to die! You are going to pay for- {head turns into a raddish}
{Old-Timey Bubs dissapears in thin air}
1-UP: {still with raddish head} Oh no. The virus is starting to take effect, and it won't be long till stuff from different periods in time will explode or smash somehow due to the glitch's effects.
{Cut to Old-Timey Homestar Runner talking to Fat Dudley standing in front of a bunch of barrels next to the Twig (Old-Timey the Stick)}
OLD-TIMEY HOMESTAR RUNNER: You sure we right, Fat Dudley. We could've used those two pennies in a situation like this.
FAT DUDLEY: {flapping his hands and saying the words musically} Bo, bo bo bo bo, bo bo, bo bo!
OLD-TIMEY HOMESTAR RUNNER: You know what, Fat Dudley. You're right.
{Old-Timey Homestar Runner's head falls off his body and lands on the ground. Old-Timey Homestar Runner's head coughs up a soup can}
OLD-TIMEY HOMESTAR RUNNER: {spewing gibberish}
FAT DUDLEY: Baddalang, baddalang, baddalang!
{Fat Dudley turns into Dangeresque and suddenly the background turns into a bunch of numbers. Cut back to 1-Up at the Depot, still with the raddish for a head}
1-UP: {muffled voice} I must find the source of the problem and destroy it!
WEIRD VOICE: {voice only} TOMATO SAUCE!
{1-Up's head turns back to normal as he runs offscreen. Cut to 1-Up running towards an old mansion}
1-UP: If anybody knows what to do in a situation like this, it'd be Mayor Homsar.
{1-Up stops in front of the door and it opens itself. Mayor Homsar comes out and puts a sign on the door saying "Gone fishin'", and then he gets out a gameboy and uses it it to hammer the sign into the door}
1-UP: Umm, mayor?
{Mayor Homsar drops the gameboy and the sign. Mayor Homsar turns to 1-Up and looks up at him}
MAYOR HOMSAR: How are you doing, young fellow? How shall I help you?
1-UP: I must warn you that everything is going glitchy. You have to destroy the virus at it's source.
{Mayor Homsar turns into a cardboard version of Marzipan}
1-UP: Well, that's just great. Now I have to figure out a way to stop this virus that can change reality for some reason.
{1-Up runs into the Mayor Homsar's mansion, and the cardboard version of Marzipan falls to the ground. Cut to the inside of the mansion, 1-Up walks in and notices Bubusuke on a computer in the corner of the room}
1-UP: Bubusuke?! What are you doing in this time period?! And how were you able to bring that computer back in time?!
BUBUSUKE: What?! {turns around and notices 1-Up} Agh! Umm, I diddn't do anything!
1-UP: How come this mansion hasn't been effected by the virus.
BUBUSUKE: You fool! I am the virus!
1-UP: What?! That explains a lot. So, you put a shield around the mansion so that if anybody outside the mansion would be effected. You are the cause of most of the viruses in a lot of email shows.
BUBUSUKE: But you will never defeat me! Robot-arm deuce!
{Two robotic claws appear on Bubusuke's hands, followed a a weird metal scratching noise. Anime music starts to play in the background as both opponents prepare to fight by striking a pose}
1-UP: {three dots appear when 1-Up talks} Dot, dot, dot.
BUBUSUKE: {three dots appear when Bubusuke talks} Dot, dot, dot.
{The dots disssapear and they both start running towards each other in an anime-ish fashion. The camera rotates all the way around three times similar to what happens in the Matrix, as they both jump into the air}
1-UP: Yatta!
{1-Up starts to glow in a light blue-ish colour, and causes Bubusuke to fall backwards and crash into his own computer, thus making everything outside turn back to normal which can be seen out the mansion window}
1-UP: 20X6! I 20X6'd you good. But how do I get home?
{1-Up turns back to normal as he floats back towards the ground}
1-UP: Well, that takes care of that. But there are still millions of viruses out there though. I won't be able to stop them all. {the anime music stops} Hey, wait a minute! PUDDING POPS!
{1-Up dissapears in a flash. Cut to the apocalyptic world of 20X6 inside alternate Stinkoman HQ. 1-Up appears in front of the alternate version of his computer}
1-UP: It worked! I knew that putting emergency time machines in all my computers would work! Obviously, my alternate self did the exact same thing.
{30X2 Pan Pan, Marzichan, The Chibi and Stinkoman appear}
30X2 PAN PAN: Why do we have to follow you everywhere?!
MARZICHAN: You've made this apocalyptic world much worse due to going even further into the past.
1-UP: Oh, what'd I do this time?
STINKOMAN: Seeing as your emails follow you everywhere, no matter what time period you are in, you got a virus email from 20X6 which effected the past, thus making the apocalyptic world even worse and glitch-filled. Too many virus challenges give me a headache!
1-UP: Oh, crap!
