Transcript

{We begin the Trickster's Lair. Every member from the previous meeting is here: The Trickster, Sidekick Bob, the three Jaros, the four Greggos and the Chorch. "Doctor Bob" and "Mechanic Bob" are no longer wearing clothes. A new member is floating above the center rock: Chorch Commander #20. All eyes are upon him.}

THE TRICKSTER: Oh man, I like this.

A JARO: We'll be able to get Tampo and Brody's entire fleet under our control?

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Indeed.

A GREGGO: But Tampo, Brody and Stlunko are too strong to get controlled, right?

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Yes, which is why we must get rid of them.

THE CHORCH: We can't take over their army with them nearby.

SIDEKICK BOB: We don't want to kill them. That could greatly displease the master.

THE TRICKSTER: Yes Bob, we know.

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Don't worry. I know a way to get rid of them safely, while having the ability to bring them back if need be. And once they're gone, we'll start our master plan.

THE TRICKSTER: Let's hear it.

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Alright, we're going to send Tampo an email.

THE CHORCH: I'll do it. What does it need to be about?

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: It has to order than to push button number 44 in the Experiment Room. That's all that matters.

THE CHORCH: I'm on it! {leaves the room by a dark passage}

THE TRICKSTER: Alright, now what?

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Follow me. We have to switch a label in that experiment place.

{The robots start the leave the cave. The screen fades to the three bosses in the Computer Room. No signs of the previous email's events are visible on them.}

TAMPO: {embarrassed} Well, Brody, it turned out you're not a zombie after all. Heh, heh.

BRODY: {sarcastic, rolls eyes} You're soooo smart.

STLUNKO: We have no records of any "Doctor Bob" or "Mechanic Bob" in our fleet.

TAMPO: I should have guessed they were phonies. I still don't understand why they tricked me like that.

BRODY: Any info on why the roof collapsed?

STLUNKO: None. It was probably just weakened somehow.

TAMPO: Sure was unlucky how it only fell right where you two were.

BRODY: Yep. Many of the minions are upset about the fuss you made about it.

TAMPO: They'll get over it. C'mon, let's check {breaks into a little rap} an email, email. Check, check, an email.

STLUNKO: We seem to have another "SUPER-ULTRA-MEGA" important email. I will open it.

{The email is displayed. Tampo reads it.}

BRODY: Imitation Strong Bad?

STLUNKO: He is a clone of Strong Bad created over X0 years ago. His voice did not copy over very well, and he was stuck with a strange accent. He never really existed however. He was merely a flash creation.

TAMPO: Well, I don't care if he exists or not, we'll still answer his email.

BRODY: Number 238, then number 3 and 44 together, eh?

TAMPO: Let's go push some buttons.

{The three leave the room. The screen fades to black.}

{Cut to the Experiment Room. Several multicolored and labeled buttons are everywhere. Each has two labels: one that shows the button's number and the other that says what the button does. Many of the labels are too small to read.}

TAMPO: Alright, which one first?

STLUNKO: Button number 238.

BRODY: Found it! {points with wing to a green square button} This one right here.

{The other two go up to it. Tampo reads the label on it.}

TAMPO: {reading} #238. Telekinetic powers.

STLUNKO: The power to move things by thought.

TAMPO: I want that power!

{Before the others can react, Tampo pushes the button with his front. Then he glows green for a second before turning back to normal.}

BRODY: How does it feel?

TAMPO: I don't feel much different...

{Tampo goes up to Brody. Tampo grunts and suddenly Brody is knocked to the ground.}

BRODY: Oof! You pushed me! {starts to get up}

TAMPO: Awesome! {floats up; powerful voice} I am Tampo! Master of the telekinetic pow-

{Suddenly Tampo glows green for a second before changing back to normal. He floats back down.}

TAMPO: My- my powers. They're gone.

STLUNKO: That button's effects must be temporary.

TAMPO: That stinks. Oh, well. What next?

STLUNKO: We must push buttons #3 and #44 simutaniously. Here's #3 right here. It will shrink us.

BRODY: And... {looks around} Here's #44! It will... {reading} make us grow.

{The camera zooms into button #44. It is a red circular button. The #44 sticker is visible, and below it is a sticker that reads "Grow Button." However, some sticker marks are left around the bottom sticker, as if a larger sticker was ripped off earlier and replaced. The camera zooms back out to the whole room.}

BRODY: What will happen if we shrink and grow at the same time?

STLUNKO: I do not know. Probably nothing will happen, but I am unsure.

TAMPO: You two ready to find out? Good. Three... two... one... PUSH!

{They both push the buttons at the same time. First there is a flash, and when it's over they are all small, the same size they were in "inspection."}

BRODY: We're tiny!

COMPUTER VOICE: Inter-dimensional transport activated.

TAMPO: Huh?

STLUNKO: A button must have been mis-

{Suddenly there is a flash, and the tiny trio is gone. Then we pan to a dark entrance to the experiment room. Two tiny little Greggo eyes are shining from the darkness. A Greggo steps out into the light. He's the Trickster with a handheld radio attached to his head.}

THE TRICKSTER: {into radio} They're gone.

{Cut to an empty field with bushes in the background. Suddenly there is a flash and the three shrunken bosses are standing in it.}

STLUNKO: -labeled.

BRODY: Where are we?

TAMPO: I don't know.

STLUNKO: {quickly} We are in a parallel universe. One of the buttons we activated opened up a wormhole and sucked us into the multiverse, where we traveled into a different universe and time period at the speed of light. Our lunar warehouse currectly resides in the year 20X6 of the J05H-ooa Universe, {pronounces "05" as "oh-five"} as named by the Interdimensional Order of Supreme Beings of the Multiverse, IOSDM for short. It is actually a sub-universe of the larger H-star-R Universe. My sensors indicate that we are in the year 2005 of the IMI-tation Universe, one of the lesser known universes of the IOSDM. It is indeed a sub-universe of ours, making it inferior. But that is hardly relevant. Unfortunately the technology of this time period and universe is much lower than ours so they lack the the ability of multiversal transport, as do I; so unless someone in a greater universe rescues us, we will be trapped here for the rest of our lives.

{There is a pause as the other two bosses stare at Stlunko.}

BRODY: What?!

TAMPO: How long have you known all this multiversal stuff?

STLUNKO: Since I was created.

TAMPO: And you never told us because...?

STLUNKO: You never asked. And partially because it was forgotten deep in my memory banks. The interdimensional transportation must have reawakened the knowledge.

BRODY: So where exactly are we?

STLUNKO: To put it simply, we are over X0 years ago in the past, trapped in a parralel sub-universe of ours with no way to return home.

BRODY: That sucks.

TAMPO: Look, there's a house. Let's go see if someone can help us out in there.

STLUNKO: I doubt anybody here can help us, but let us give it a try.

{The three start walking towards the camera as the screen fades to black. We fade in to Trevor, 2005 version of Tampo, sitting as his desk with the Stunky '04.}

TREVOR: {email rap} I check email! Email check I! I check email! Email check I!

{Trevor clicks a icon on the laptop's screen and an email is displayed on a pop-up. Trevor reads it out loud.}

TREVOR: Ugh. Not you guys again. Look, {starts typing a reply} I'm not going to join your stupid little Homestarmy, got that? Not after what happened last time.

{Cut to Strongbadia. The screen border is cloud-shaped, signifying a dream sequence. Everything looks normal. Strong Bad and The Cheat and standing in the middle of the lot. Strong Mad is in the far right corner, looking at a bright red apple in his hands confused. Suddenly Colonel Homstar, Strong Sad, Homsar, Trevor and Booty march/wobble/walk in from the left. They are all wearing the Homestarmy "uniforms," even Trevor and Booty, and Homestar is holding his spoon.}

HOMSAR: AaAaAaAaAaA!!!

{While screaming, Homsar "pukes" out Frank Bennedetto, causing him to fly out spinning and getting embedded in the ground upside-down, behind enemy lines (aka Strong Bad and The Cheat)}

HOMESTAR: Alwight men! We're here once again to invade some sewious Stwongbadia! Twevoria will be ouws!

TREVOR: Eh, it's not called Trevoria yet.

{In this alternate dimension, Strong Bad's voice reveals him has Imitation Strong Bad. He talks with a high-pitched Australian accent, but his personality is the same as the normal Strong Bad's.}

IMITATION SB: You guys again? Give me a break. Um... {looks around} take this!

{Imitation Strong Bad kicks The Cheat at the Homestarmy. The Cheat flies right at Trevor's head, but he ducks, sending The Cheat flying away screaming. The Cheat screams in backwards Cheatese.}

HOMESTAR: Oh, no! We're outnumbuh'd! We must wetweat!

{Homsar wobbles backwards, away from the "battle." Trevor, Booty, Imitation SB and Strong Mad are looking at Homestar, all weirded out.}

STRONG SAD: We must rescue Bennedetto!

HOMESTAR: It's too late for him. We must suh-vive! {runs away}

{Strong Sad runs away, looking back as he leaves. Trevor and Imination Strong Bad look at each other, unsure.}

TREVOR: Uh... {shakes fist at Strong Bad} We'll meet again, Strong Bad! We'll meet again! {Trevor and Booty run away}

IMITATION SB: {calling after them} You need to get a life.

STRONG MAD: Duh! {bites apple}

{The scene disappears in a vaporising-like animation and we are back in Trevor's computer room.}

TREVOR: {typing into reply} So I will never, I repeat, NEVER!!! join your stupid little army after that embarrassing- {doorbell rings, following dialogue not typed} Huh? Someone's here? {typed} Uh, hold on guys. {gets up and leaves}

{Trevor is gone, but the camera stays at the Stunky. Trevor is heard walking to the door, which then squeaks open.}

TREVOR: {offscreen} Welcome, gues- AHH!!! Who- who are you?

{Trevor reenters the scene, backing up in surprise. The shrunken trio is following. Soon all four are visible in the room. Brody is one and a half of Trevor's size, and the others are shrunken accordingly.}

STLUNKO: Do not fear us, Trevor. We mean you no harm.

{Trevor silently stares at them throughout the follow conversation.}

TAMPO: Wait! This is Trevor? But, how can that be? I mean, I made him up. He's not real.

BRODY: He did save us from that virus.

TAMPO: Yeah, but I thought that was just the virus pulling him from my subconscious or something.

STLUNKO: It was. But this Trevor is for real.

TAMPO: But how's that possible? Did I create this universe when I imagined him up?

STLUNKO: No, that is unlikely. A more probable theory is that because this is a sub-universe of ours, a time/space ripple could have occured and projected part of this universe onto our imaginations and databanks temporarily.

BRODY: So you're saying this universe was put into our minds... like a movie or something?

STLUNKO: I suppose you could put it that way...

TREVOR: {raises both hands in the air} Alright, I'm confused. Who are you guys are what are you doing in my house?!

TAMPO: Well, uh, I'm you.

TREVOR: {disbelief} You, a floating brain, are me?

TAMPO: Sort of...

STLUNKO: In a different dimension and time period, however.

TREVOR: Explain everything.

BRODY: You believe us?

TREVOR: You're a floating brain, a hi-tech robot and a mutant chicken. Something weird is going on and I'd like you three to explain.

BRODY: I'm not mutant! All my kind are like this. Except bigger. Well, they're extinct now, but...

STLUNKO: I'll explain.

TAMPO: {rolls eyes} This may take a while.

{Trevor sits down on his chair as Stlunko starts telling the story, although all we can hear is mumbling. The screen fades to black with white text.}

{Stlunko and Trevor are still where they were before. Tampo is sleeping on the floor and Brody is sitting against the wall, asleep.}

TREVOR: I think I understand now...

STLUNKO: Good.

{Stlunko, using both of his shrunken hands, gently pokes the sleeping Tampo and Brody simutaniously, waking them up.}

BRODY: {sleepily} Huh? What?

TAMPO: {sleepily} Where am I?

STLUNKO: The explaining is over.

TAMPO: Oh, that's right. Alright, so you understand why we're here, right?

TREVOR: Yeah, yeah, I think so. I suppose you guys could all stay in the guest room while you're here.

BRODY: Thanks.

TREVOR: But you know, you guys sure don't seem to care too much about being trapped in an alternate universe.

TAMPO: Oh, we have lots of capable minions back at home. I'm sure they'll notice we're gone and figure out how to get us back.

STLUNKO: All they have to do is push a certain button in our experiment room to return us.

TAMPO: Yeah, I'm sure we'll be just fine. In fact, I bet they're searching for us right now...

{The screen fades to black with white text.}

{Cut to a hallway. A Chorch is sticking yellow "Do not cross" tape all over a large doorway. Beyond it we can see the experiment room. The Chorch has a handheld radio attached to the side of his head. Most of the job is already done, with six straps already crisscrossing it at random angles. The Chorch ducttapes another strap and then speaks into his radio.}

THE CHORCH: {into radio} The experiment room is closed off.

THE TRICKSTER: {from radio} Good. It's time. Meet us in the announcement room.

{Suddenly an overhead speaker starts blaring a message, and several other speakers are heard echoing the same message in the distance.}

SPEAKERS: {Trickster's voice} Attention all robots and chickens. Attention all robots and chickens. Our masters Tampo, Brody and Stlunko are missing! We need to save them. Every one of their minions must report to the announcement room immediately so we can discuss the rescue plan. EVERY MINION MUST COME IMMEDIATELY!!!

THE CHORCH: {looking up at speaker} Alrighty...

{The Chorch leaves the hallway by the path away. Then the screen fades to the announcement room. The Trickster, Sidekick Bob and all their friends from the Trickster's Lair are on the elevated platform, but not Chorch Commander #20. The ducttaping Chorch comes onto the platform from behind. A huge crowd of every minion is below them, with all 19 commanders up front, identifiable by their badges.}

THE TRICKSTER: {over unseen amplifier} Hello, fellow minions. Who I am does not matter, what matters is that our masters are missing and we need to save them. May I direct your attention to this hologram projector. {looks to the center of the roof}

{As everybody watches, a small white sphere lowers from the roof, attached by a pole.}

THE TRICKSTER: {whispers} Now!

{Suddenly a light green forcefield instantly appears over the elevated platform. A moment later, a large flash comes from the globe, filling the entire screen. When it fades, all the minions in the crowd have blank expressions and are standing still like zombies. The green forcefield around the elevated platform turns off and Chorch Commander #20 appears behind two of the Trickster's friends on the platform, who are not effected by the flash.}

CHORCH COMMANDER #20: Good work, Trickster. {over unseen amplifier} Hello, minions. Who are your masters?

CROWD: {slow voices, in unison} Our masters are the almighty Chorch Commander, the powerful Trickster and the mediocre Sidekick Bob.

SIDEKICK BOB: {whispering, sarcastic} Great.

THE TRICKSTER: Finally! Minions, who are your masters?

CROWD: {slow voices, in unison} Our masters are the almighty Chorch Commander, the powerful Trickster and the mediocre Sidekick Bob.

THE TRICKSTER: Oh, man. This is so cool.

A JARO: {one of the Trickster's friends} We have hacked the computer system. Soon this warehouse's computers and defense systems will be ours.

CHORCH COMMANDER: Perfect.

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

{After five seconds, the screen flickers and the pop-up is replaced with an identical looking pop-up with different text: "Tampo is obsolete. Chorch Commander is teh pwn0rz."}

{Cut to Brody and Trevor alone in Trevor's Computer Room.}
BRODY: Hey, Trevor, you have a pet hen named Booty, right?
TREVOR: Yeah, who told you?
BRODY: Umm... Tampo did. During the whole time ripple thing. A long time ago.
TREVOR: Oh.
BRODY: So where is he? I'd like to meet him.
TREVOR: Oh, you see... he's sick.
BRODY: That's too bad.
{Cut to Brody laying down in a small bed in his room. His bed is actually a low-rimmed carboard box with a blanket. He looks like he has a cold.}
BOOTY: {sneezes}
{Suddenly Homestar Runner enters from the right, holding a steaming bowl.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey Booty, I heard you wuh sick, so I made you some chicken-noodle-soupa! {puts bowl in Booty's face}
BOOTY: {squawks in suprise}
{Booty jumps out of bed and runs away squawking.}
HOMESTAR RUNNER: {still happy} I put in extra chickens... More for me! {pours contents into his mouth}

Fun Facts

  • That fact that Brody isn't a zombie, Doctor and Mechanic Bob and the collapsing roof refer to the previous Tampo Email "death." You may also want to read that email if you do not understand the part with Chorch Commander #20.
  • The other "SUPER-ULTRA-MEGA" email the trio received was the one from "apocalypse," which was a prank email sent by the Trickster.
  • Imitation Strong Bad refers to the Strong Bad from Imitation Strong Bad E-mails.
  • Button #44 was used in Homsar's Blog Entry #13: Today's Lab Game, Musical Bodies, where it switched the bodies of everyone present. Unfortunately it couldn't do so in this email due to the storyline.
  • The possibility of Trevor and Booty existing in another universe was shown in an easter egg from "virus."
  • The email Trevor receives is an edited version of an email from Tampo's Inbox, with the names changed.
  • Trevoria is what Trevor called Strongbadia when he captured it in "2005."
  • Imitation Strong Bad saying "You need to get a life" refers to a line of his in the I-SBEmail "l33tness."
  • Tampo making Trevor up refers to "2005." Trevor saving the trio from a virus refers to "virus."
