Transcript
{Nebulon and Charles are at the Mechy 1337.}
NEBULON: So, why are we panicked?
CHARLES: That would be because we are drowned in pudding.
GHYPE: Mmfph!
{Ghype jumps onto the table, coated in chocolate pudding.}
GHYPE: Even I think this certain act has gone too far! I must stop it!
WORKBACKS: Yes, I was just telling you of Puddo, the magic solvent that's in Tampo's base, but you told me you didn't want to reference Tampo's...
NEBULON: {loudly} YES, this will be the first email that we will not reference more than one Tampo. Because even one is horrible.
WORKBACKS: Well, what's your plan? You break it, you fix it. Or you could buy it. I don't care. This world costs 60 trillion MultiCredits.
NEBULON: Well, see, this was all Charles and Ghype's mistakes. All I did was make witty quips.
CHARLES: Well, you see... you have very low intellegence.
NEBULON: And?
GHYPE: Ah ha ha ha ha! Reptile outsmarts scrap metal!
WORKBACKS: Do you have any plans to fix this, or are you just going to argue?
NEBULON: We have to argue. That's what makes our email show funny.
CHARLES: Yes, email. Let us check that. It will give us inspiration.
{The email appears onscreen. Nebulon reads it.}
Dear Nebulon,
We know about your history. but, What about
The Liekand and The Ice Machine? How
were they created and put under the control
of the X Trio.
-Mitchell Smith, Australia
NEBULON: An email about someone dead...
CHARLES: That is wrong. Because 1-Up does not exist... too much pudding exists, but The Liekand should still be alive.
NEBULON: ...and an enemy. Well, Mitchell, my delete finger...
GHYPE: You have fingers? I need pictures of Mr. Reptile's fingers!
NEBULON: Okay, first off: why would I know the history of either of these people?
CHARLES: Well, perhaps he got the idea from the first email, where they were going to check emails with you.
NEBULON: I don't think anyone reads the first email.
GHYPE: Well, Mr. Reptile, I nominated it for the Golden--
NEBULON: Thanks for signing me up for spam. But you do have a BIT of merit.
CHARLES: No, he does not. This is a worthless email.
NEBULON: If The Ice Machine froze the pudding, he could convert it to ice cream...
CHARLES: That would not work.
NEBULON: WHat are you talking about? Why not? The Ice Machine would simply suck up the ice cream.
CHARLES: That would fail. Because... actually, it will not fail in any way I could forsee.
GHYPE: Ah ha ha! Mr. Reptile wins again!
{Pan over to a man with a black cape and completely dressed in black. The image of the Neby Trio is on his screen.}
MAN: Ah ha ha ha! They thought the pudding was caused by time travel? Ah ha ha ha! Make more pudding, please, chef room!
{He presses a button, and 1-Up, tied up, decends from the ceiling.}
1-UP: There's pudding on the ground! I want pudding!
MAN: Quiet, wretch! Now, when our wonderful quick-footed associate teleported you away...
1-UP: What words are you saying? I can't understand them. Does that mean I can't be the guy?
MAN: {with malice} Yes. Yes it does. Now, when you moved from one place to another, magically, did you see Failed Specimen Species NE8-1? {A model of Nebulon is pictured onscreen.}
1-UP: Yes! I fought him once!
MAN: No other times?
1-UP: No.
MAN: Well, then, you can go. I don't really care about a clueless idiot like you.
{1-Up drops. He begins gorging himself.}
MAN: Can you do that out there, and not in here? Augh...
{Cut back to Neby Trio, this time at The Ice Machine's base.}
NEBULON: So, what I'm saying is I'd like you to help us without some kind of weird crossover plot.
THE ICE MACHINE: I'm icetaking no for an iceanswer.
CHARLES: Yes. Now, we will use my idea instead.
GHYPE: Mr. Slushee, you'll want lots of ice cream and you can get it!
THE ICE MACHINE: Ice ice ice ice iceno. IceI icealready icehave iceenough iceice icecream.
NEBULON: Well, this sucks...
{The Ice Machine sucks up all the pudding.}
THE ICE MACHINE: You know, pudding isn't bad. Ice. I'm going to go find 1-Up.
{He runs off.}
NEBULON: That was easy. Well, until next time...
GHYPE: What was the paradox type thing?
NEBULON: Um, the pudding?
CHARLES: The pyramid is right. There was no paradox. There was pudding, but no paradox.
NEBULON: Well, does it matter?
CHARLES: This email is entitled "pudding paradox". And it is excessivly short right now.
NEBULON'S VOICE: {offscreen} Whoa! It's me from a couple of hours ago.
NEBULON: Me? What are you doing here?
OTHER NEBULON: Well, see, after Charles and Ghype died-
CHARLES: What?
OTHER NEBULON: Yeah, thay died yesterday.
MAN WITH THE HUGE MOUTH: PARADOX'D!
OTHER NEBULON: Well, I'm off to do future things. Because I'm you, from the future.
{He leaves.}
GHYPE: That was convenient and life fearing!
CHARLES: As soon as we catch up to him, the world will be destroyed.
NEBULON: Yeah. That happens every other day. So, we'll need to... kill you.
CHARLES: I am against that plan of action.
GHYPE: We can make a cloning machine, and kill the walking remakes of us!
NEBULON: That was... actually, that was a good idea. And we actually already have the cloning machine...
{Cut to the Warehouse o' Parts.}
NEBULON: So, you two will have to go in the machine and not move.
CHARLES: Yes. And you will put nanobots in the clones to kill them.
GHYPE: And then we travel to yesterday...
NEBULON: Wait, why are we doing this? All I have to do is say to my past self "Yeah, they died yesterday."
CHARLES: That is a better plan. But I have the best.
GHYPE: Surely it's not better than mine!
CHARLES: We find The Liekand.
NEBULON: I'm in the mood for passing time. Sure.
{Cut to The Liekand's base.}
NEBULON: We'd like to see The Liekand, please.
SECRETARY: Name?
NEBULON: Neb-
FROTZER SECRETARY: Please excuse the firing squad, but I was told I must unleash them if anyone mentioned your name.
THE LIEKAND: {offscreen} What? I didn't tell you that!
FROTZER SECRETARY: Some floating brain told me in exchange for one date with him, and it was great. Actually, I forget most of it. I don't think that happened.
THE LIEKAND: Nebulon! I have some vague memories of 1-Up's stomach and you...
NEBULON: I'm sure that's just bad eating habits. Eating out of a trash can is bad for your health.
CHARLES: Greetings.
THE LIEKAND: Ah. You've actually managed to tame him? He used to be cruel...
GHYPE: Hello, Sir Swirly!
THE LIEKAND: {strained} Where... where did you get that?
NEBULON: Got it from Tampo.
THE LIEKAND: That makes sence. Well, if you need anything, I'm always your last resort...
NEBULON: Thanks!
{The Neby Trio returns to the computer room.}
NEBULON: So that's some basic... augh! What are you doing here?
THE ICE MACHINE: There was a trace of pudding behind your cables! {He runs off.}
NEBULON: Free maid service... and break ins... well, I suppose this draws the email to a close. Tune in next week for more fun Nebulon adventures!
{The Paper falls, saying "Email Nebulon at nebymail@nebulon.com!"}
