Transcript

{The toon begins in a lunar cave, somewhere inside the moon. There is a flat-topped rock in the middle of the cave and a Greggo is standing on it. When he talks, his voice reveals that he's the Trickster. There is a Jaro next to the rock, obviously Sidekick Bob. Surrounding them is a small crowd of three Jaros, four Greggos and a Chorch. One of the Jaros is wearing a Jaro-style doctor's outfit, while one of the Greggos is wearing a mechanic-like outfit. All the other robots are normal looking. A sign stuck onto the wall reads "The Trickster's Lair" in red, drippily painted text.}

THE TRICKSTER: Attention friends. The first meeting of the Trickster's New Order has begun. Now, you guys all know why you're here right?

{Several of the minions nod "yes," and one replies.}

A NORMAL JARO: To defeat Tampo and serve the Master.

THE TRICKSTER: {nods in approval} That is correct. Alright, Chorch, did you get the small detonators ready?

THE CHORCH: Yes. The trio are very predictable, so choosing the location for them was easy. The detonators are hidden so they won't be seen.

THE TRICKSTER: Good. This will truly be my greatest feat!

SIDEKICK BOB: Um... they won't be killed, right? I mean, we don't want to get the Master angry at us. If we kill someone, we could get in deep trouble.

THE CHORCH: I calculated the scenarios. There's an 85% chance of no one dying.

THE TRICKSTER: Good enough. It'll bring Tampo to such despair! {to the dressed Jaro and Greggo} Now you two know your jobs, right?

{The doctor Jaro and mechanic Greggo nod "yes."}

THE TRICKSTER: That's good. Enough talk! Let's go back to the warehouse!

{The Trickster walks underneath the camera and out of sight. Sidekick Bob closely follows, and then the eight other minions leave as the scene fades to the Computer Room. The three bosses are in their usual spots.}

TAMPO: Email world! Email world! We all live in the email world!

{An email is displayed and Tampo reads it.}

BRODY: {sarcastic} Ooh. A wooorshiper.

TAMPO: Super Sam, you don't fool us. We know all about you.

STLUNKO: We know lots of things. For example, we know about NEB-1's email.

TAMPO: Which is probably just a bunch of special effects. Everyone knows NEB-1 can't talk. But he does actually have an inbox.

STLUNKO: Which we have hacked.

TAMPO: Yes, and when you view a certain email of his...

SUPERCOM: I understand. Opening...

{Another email is displayed over the other one. It's page title verifies that it's from NEB-1's inbox. Tampo reads it outloud.}

TAMPO: Yes, Super Sam, we're smarter than you think.

{The second email closes, leaving the first one onscreen alone.}

BRODY: So... do we delete Stupor Sam's email?

TAMPO: Eh, whatever.

{Super Sam's first email is deleted.}

STLUNKO: Is that it?

TAMPO: No. I still like his parade and statue idea. SuperCom, call in the closest commander.

SUPERCOM: Calling...

{The camera pans out to show more of the Computer Room. After a few seconds, a Greggo with a commander's badge rushes in.}

GREGGO COMMANDER #4: Greggo Commander #4, at your service, master!

TAMPO: Yes, yes. Good. Go get some minions to build a statue and organize a parade in our honor.

GREGGO COMMANDER #4: Yes, sir! {marches away}

{The camera zooms back in to the trio and the SuperCom.}

STLUNKO: Is that it?

BRODY: Can you stop that, Stlunko?!

TAMPO: Yeah, what is it with you and this "emails have to be long" thing? {pause} Alright, fine. I'll answer another one. {mumbling} Stupid robot...

{Another email pops up. Tampo reads it.}

{Take pronounces "Stluco" and "Wiggey" as they're spelled.}

BRODY: What's a "wiggey" thing?

STLUNKO: I think he means "Wiggly."

BRODY: Oh.

TAMPO: Well wiggly thing, I'm not sure what'd I do if Brody and Stlunko died. But since that can't happen, I won't worry about it.

BRODY: Yeah. There's no way I'm gonna die. At all. I'm invincable.

STLUNKO: That is not true.

BRODY: Sure it is.

{The camera pans out through an exit into the hallway. Behind is the Trickster, Sidekick Bob, the mechanic and the doctor.}

THE TRICKSTER: {nervously} Where is he? Where is he? We're going to be too late!

{The Chorch zooms next to the Trickster. He is holding a TNT detonater-like object in one of his pinchers.}

THE TRICKSTER: There you are! Why weren't you following us?

THE CHORCH: Sorry. I got seperated, lost and disoriented. Is it too late?

THE TRICKSTER: No, they're still there.

SIDEKICK BOB: You might want to hurry.

THE TRICKSTER: Yep. Set it up. You two! {to the "doctor" Jaro and "mechanic" Greggo} You guys both know your jobs, lines and indentities, right?

BOTH DRESSED MINIONS: Yes.

THE CHORCH: Ready.

THE TRICKSTER: Good. On my signal. Five...

{The camera switches back to the SuperCom using the same transition used earlier.}

{Brody and Stlunko are facing each other in a stupid heated discussion. Tampo is between them, looking annoyed.}

BRODY: ...am invincable!

STLUNKO: That is not true. You could die at this very mo-

{Suddenly two small explosions are heard from above and then some metal panels, scraps and debree fall down and hit Brody on the head and crush Stlunko's antenna.}

STLUNKO: {lowering pitch} Losing poweeeeerrrrrr...

{Stlunko deactivates and Brody crumbles onto the ground unconscious. The camera zooms out to show the whole room. The roof isn't in sight though. Tampo is staring at them both in shock. Nothing falls on him.}

TAMPO: What was- {worried} Guys? You okay? Brody? Stlunko? Can you hear me?

{Suddenly the "doctor" Jaro and "mechanic" Greggo enter the room. Tampo looks at them.}

DOCTOR JARO: Hello master. I am Doctor Bob.

MECHANIC GREGGO: And I am Mechanic Bob.

DOCTOR BOB: And we are here to... um... check your friends.

TAMPO: Huh?

{Doctor Bob jumps onto Brody's belly and lets his stethoscope lay on Brody. Meanwhile, Mechanic Bob walks up to Stlunko and lightly kicks him twice. Tampo watches in confusion.}

TAMPO: Who are you guys?

DOCTOR BOB: I am your best Bob. I mean, doctor. Very best.

MECHANIC BOB: Me too.

DOCTOR BOB: And I've got terrible, terrible news, Tampo. {jumps off of Brody}

TAMPO: {worried} What?

DOCTOR BOB: I'm afraid you've got no pancreas.

{Tampo looks at him with a "weirded out" expression.}

MECHANIC BOB: He means your friend is dead. Both of them.

TAMPO: But- but that's not possible...

DOCTOR BOB: It is. I'm sorry.

TAMPO: Isn't there anything you do?

MECHANIC BOB: When someone's dead they're dead. Sorry. Gotta go.

DOCTOR BOB: Me too. We'll get some friends to bury the bodies.

{The "doctor" and "mechanic" leave Tampo alone with his two fallen friends.}

TAMPO: {tearing up} No! No! They can't be dead! Not my two best friends in the whole world! Brody! {nudges some debree off of Brody} Brody, speak to me! You can't be dead! Stlunko!

{He shoots a low-power laserball at the base of Stlunko's broken antenna, giving it a small electrical spark, but doing nothing.}

TAMPO: No! C'mon! You've survived worse then this! It can't end this way. It can't... it can't... {starts sobbing uncontrollably, quickly floats away}

{The camera follows Tampo out the hallway, but then stops when Tampo rushes past the Trickster, Sidekick Bob and the Chorch. Because Tampo was crying so hard, he didn't notice them.}

THE TRICKSTER: It worked perfectly.

SIDEKICK BOB: How can you do that to him? He's our master!

THE TRICKSTER: {quickly, angrily} He is not our master! {recovered} We only have one master.

THE CHORCH: Besides, we haven't really killed anybody. When they wake up, Tampo will be fine.

SIDEKICK BOB: But how is this helping the Master?

THE TRICKSTER: It's all part of the plan. Tampo will probably make a big fuss about his friend's deaths to all his minions. When they come back to life, we'll have the perfect tool to start rumors against Tampo with! With more unrest will come more men to our cause.

SIDEKICK BOB: ...right. Whatever works for you.

THE TRICKSTER: Alright, so... {to Chorch} you got that oxygen maker and light installed into Brody's coffin, right?

THE CHORCH: Actually, the coffins haven't gotten built yet. I'll get some minions to help build them with the air maker and the weak panelling and stuff so Brody and Stlunko will be able to break free.

THE TRICKSTER: Good, good. Get to it.

{The Chorch floats away and the screen fades to black with white text.}

{Fades back to somewhere on the moon, outside the Lunar Warehouse. There are some satellite-like objects floating in the sky, emitting a light green forcefield all around, creating an atmosphere bubble. Several minions of all six kinds are working in two groups. One group is using moon rock to create the base of what will be a huge statue. The other group appears to be practicing something. Silently, solemnly, Tampo floats into the scene. His eyes are red from crying.}

TAMPO: {over an unseen loudspeaker, sad and solemn voice} May I have your attention minions?

{All the minions stop whatever they were doing are face their master. Several look surprised at his state.}

TAMPO: Forget about making the momument and parade.

{Several confused whispers and mumbles are heard from the crowds.}

TAMPO: Instead, {to the statue-building group} you guys start working on a large memorium for my two- {voice cracks} my two- two deceased friends... Brody and Stlunko. {starts to sob, but quickly recovers} You guys understand?

{Some of the minions of that group nod and get to work, but many of the minions from both clusters stare at each other in shock and disbelief.}

TAMPO: {to the other group} And you, start digging some graves in front of the memorium. My friends' coffins will be arriving soon.

{A few of the minions obey, but many of frozen in shock.}

TAMPO: What are waiting for? {voice cracking} Go! Get to work! {quickly turns around and leaves}

{Hesitantly, all the minions start working on their new jobs. The the camera pans to the Trickster and Sidekick Bob, with the workers blurred in the background.}

THE TRICKSTER: Haha! He did it! Just as planned.

SIDEKICK BOB: {sarcastic} Hooray. I guess I'll go check on those coffins.

THE TRICKSTER: Yeah, why don't you. {mumbling} Stupid negativist.

{Sidekick Bob hops away, out of sight.}

THE TRICKSTER: {quietly} I hope I don't have to harm him, but I'm starting to distrust him...

VOICE: {deep voice} Well done, Trickster.

THE TRICKSTER: Huh? {looks around} Who- who said that? How do you know my name?

VOICE: I've been watching you. And I am pleased.

THE TRICKSTER: Oh, this is so cliche. {rolls eyes} Reveal yourself.

VOICE: I have nothing to hide from you.

{The Trickster turns and the camera turns with him. In this direction, there is nothing noticable save a giant boulder casting a long shadow. The lunar landscape becomes light green in the background due to the forcefield. Suddenly a Chorch floats out of the shadow. With the badges on his chest, you can tell he's Chorch Commander #20.}

THE TRICKSTER: It's- It's you!

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Who'd you expect?

THE TRICKSTER: Yeah, I know. It's just that, you're supposed to be dead.

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: So I've heard.

THE TRICKSTER: How'd you survive? Everyone says your hideout exploded with you in it.

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Yes, my hideout exploded. But not my secret underground lab beneath it.

THE TRICKSTER: So you escaped via a secret lab?

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Mm-hmm. The whole Stinkoman plan didn't work out. So I'm pleased to see how hard you've worked towards our cause. When we dethrone Tampo, you'll be second in command.

THE TRICKSTER: Really? Cool. So... what's the plan?

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: How would you like to have Tampo's entire forces under your control?

THE TRICKSTER: That would be awesome! Forget this little prank. Tell me the plan.

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: I have created sophisicated technology capable of such a feat.

THE TRICKSTER: Great! Explain.

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Follow me. I'll explain.

{The Chorch starts floating away from the direction of the crowds and the Trickster follows. The screen fades to black with white text.}

{The view is high above the lunar landscape where the construction was going on, but not above the forcefield. Many of the minions are lined up at the sides of a "road" leading to the unfinished memorial and two huge holes dug in front of it. The remaining minions are working on the memorial, which is starting to look like Brody and Stlunko on a pedestrial. Suddenly, Tampo walks down the center of the street. He seems to have recovered.}

TAMPO: {over an unseen loudspeaker} Make way for my friends.

{Tampo moves to the side of the "road" and his minions move to give him space. Then two large Brody and Stlunko-shaped coffins start rolling down the street on large tank-wheels. While the crowds watch silently, the coffins roll down the street and into the two pits. They dissappear into the holes. Then the screen fades to black.}

{It fades back to the same scene, except later. The graves are filled back in with moon dirt and Tampo is in front of them, giving a speech.}

TAMPO: They were my two best friends in the whole... huh?

{A bump starts forming over Brody's grave. Suddenly, Brody's dirtied and dazed head sticks out and the gasps are heard from the chicken minions in the crowd.}

BRODY: {groans, dazed} Huh?

SOME MINION: Aaaah! It's a zombie!

SOME OTHER MINIONS: Zombie! Run!!!

{Suddenly all the minions panic and start running towards the warehouse. The words "Run!" and "Zombie!" are heard a lot. In a few seconds, Tampo is left alone, staring at Brody's head.}

TAMPO: ...Brody?

BRODY: {groans in pain} OoOoOoOoO...

TAMPO: {in surprise} You are a zombie! Ahhh! {quickly floats away}

{Tampo is gone. The camera zooms closer onto him. Brody shakes his head back and forth, recovering.}

BRODY: Wh- where am I?

STLUNKO: {faint} Backup... power... returning... Recharging... systems...

{As Brody looks around confused, only a head sticking of the dirt, digging is heard nearby. Suddenly, Stlunko's hands burst through the ground, leaving an opening in the ground.}

STLUNKO: {from small hole} Where am I?

BRODY: I don't know. {pause}

BOTH: TAMPO!!!

{The screen fades to black and then fades back to the SuperCom. The "Click here to email Tampo" pop-up is displayed.}
