Transcript
{The Screen computer has a blank gray screen, waiting for someone to use it. Then Gunhaver walked to The Screen.}
GUNHAVER: All right, I have to check my email on The Screen. Not that I have anything against it. Okay, let's check-a my emails-a!
{Gunhaver types onto The Screen: run "gunhaver_email". The Screen replied with: Syntax Error.}
GUNHAVER: WHAT??? Let's try again.
{Gunhaver types in the same command, and The Screen replied with: 404'D!}
GUNHAVER: Oh, come on! What's wrong with you?
{Gunhaver types in the same command, and The Screen replied with: Will you cut that out?}
GUNHAVER: Stupid computer!
{Then Reynold arrives.}
REYNOLD: That's not how you do it! Here, let me do it.
{Reynold types in: run "Cheat Commando Email". A menu appears on the screen. It says:}
Cheat Commando Email
Gunhaver: 1
Flashfight: 1
Fightgar: None
Silent Rip: None
Firebert: Needs better name
Crackotage: I don't think so
Reynold: Who needs him?
Reinforcements: None
Foxface: Never checks, never will
Ripberger: Japanese doesn't work here
GUNHAVER: Oh look! The Screen doesn't need you. Now get lost!
REYNOLD: Fine.
{As Reynold leaves, Gunhaver uses the mouse (wherever it is) to double click on "Gunhaver: 1" to make the following email show up.}
Dear Gunhaver,
Do you have a Time Travel Program
on your Computer? If so, Can you
go back in time and maybe, Complete
a Mission you couldn't in the Past?
-Mitchell Smith, Australia
GUNHAVER: (typing) Well, Mitchell, I have to say, I love the steak you give out from Australia. They're just... I'm getting off topic. So, time travel program, eh Mitchell? Well, I don't think I have it on my Orange 02, but then again, it's broken, currently, thanks to Crackotage, whose salary will decrease. But let me try.
{Gunhaver types: run "time_travel.exe". Then the menu pops up.}
Welcome to Time Travel.exe
1. Go back in time __________ Where? _______________
2. Go forward in time __________ Where? _______________
3. Cower
4. Back
GUNHAVER: This is perfect! Just perfect! I can't believe I get to go back in time! I remember this one mission...
{Cut to a flashback of Gunhaver and Reinforcements in front of Blue Laser in a mountainous terrain. Past Gunhaver didn't have a hat yet, Reinforcements didn't have the five o' clock shadow, and Blue Laser looked the same.}
GUNHAVER: (V.O.) It was when Blue Laser tried to hike in the mountains.
PAST BLUE LASER: WILL YOU JUST PLEASE BUZZ OFF?
PAST GUNHAVER: Never, for you are trying to go to that bomb shack at the top of the mountain so you can crush the Cheat Commandos!
PAST REINFORCEMENTS: There's a bormb shack? Maybe I can get a rorcket launcher there!
GUNHAVER: (V.O.) Oh right, it was before Reinforcements had the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket.
{Suddenly, past Reinforcement's J.R.B.R.R. disappears.}
PAST BLUE LASER: WHAT? A BOMB SHACK YOU SAY! FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! SEE YA SUCKERS!
{Past Blue Laser runs off. Past Gunhaver and Past Reinforcements try to give chase with Past Reinforcements ahead of Past Gunhaver.}
GUNHAVER: (V.O.) We could have got him, but something bad happened.
{Suddenly, there's an explosion near past Gunhaver as he was thrown back.}
GUNHAVER: (V.O.) So, long story short, Blue Laser managed to get the Blue Laser, his deadliest weapon, and I had to stay in the hospital for months while Blue Laser created havoc with his Blue Laser, and the Cheat Commandos couldn't do anything, for they were on vacation for months. And I couldn't go!
{Cut back to present time in The Screen room. Gunhaver types in the necessary information and suddenly, Gunhaver was sucked into a vortex shot from The Screen. When he was released, he was in front of a mountain in the past in front of a laptop in a cabin. Gunhaver exited the cabin.}
GUNHAVER: Cool! I time traveled!
{Then past Flashfight arrives. The past Flashfight had two buttons and two medals.}
PAST FLASHFIGHT: Gunhaver, I told you to go up ze mountain with Reenforcements to stop Blue Lasier from getting to zat bomb shack while the rest and mee go on vacation to Paradees Eland for monzs.
GUNHAVER: Uh, yes, sir. I sent Reinforcements up as a scout.
PAST FLASHFIGHT: Balzerdash, I ordeered both of you to go up ze mountain! Now go! Or else you won't to go vacation. And where deed you get zat hat?
{So Gunhaver went up the mountain. He took a shortcut to the top of the mountain by using the advanced climbing equipment he took from the present Cheat Commandos Headquarters Playset. Then he reached the bomb shack, a shack shaped like a bomb. He went inside and took the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket. Then he went to a cliff and saw the scene between past Gunhaver, past Reinforcements without the J.R.B.R.R., and past Blue Laser.}
Gunhaver/Present Gunhaver: Cool! My past self! Whoa! I was totally handsome back then, no wonder!
PAST BLUE LASER: WILL YOU JUST PLEASE BUZZ OFF?
PAST GUNHAVER: Never, for you are trying to go to that bomb shack at the top of the mountain so you can crush the Cheat Commandos!
PAST REINFORCEMENTS: There's a bormb shack? Maybe I can get a rorcket launcher there!
PAST BLUE LASER: WHAT? A BOMB SHACK YOU SAY? FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! SEE YA SUCKERS!
{Past Blue Laser runs off. Past Gunhaver and Past Reinforcements try to give chase with Past Reinforcements ahead of Past Gunhaver.}
Present Gunhaver: Now is my time to strike!
{Gunhaver straps on the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket and began to fire. Suddenly, he slipped and accidentally shot the rocket at the past Gunhaver, sending him flying into a rock while past Reinforcements continued to chase past Blue Laser.}
Present Gunhaver: How ironic, I went back in time to make sure I didn't get hurt, and I ended up hurting my past self. I'm such an idiot.
{Present Gunhaver leaves the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket behind and leaves. Then the past Reinforcements who looks defeated comes.}
PAST REINFORCEMENTS: Oh lork! A rorcket launcher!
{Present Gunhaver goes into the cabin with the laptop and goes back to the present.}
GUNHAVER: Man, I feel terrible. All of those massages in the spa I missed out, and it's all because of me. Actually, it's because of Mitchell. (typing) I hope you're happy, Mitchell!

Fun Facts

- Saying Crackotage's salary will decrease is based on the email Magic.
- Almost every Other Character Email received the same kind of email, and the main character time traveled to the past or future.
