Transcript

{Everyone's in front of the Plasma in email-checking position.}

TAMPO: {singing} Dum-de-dum-dum email, email dum-de-dum.

{Stlunko clicks on the email icon and the email is displayed. Tampo reads it.}

BRODY: Interesting email. Do you think it's real?

TAMPO: I'm not sure... would be nice, though.

STLUNKO: Data indicates email is legitimate. It will be sent in 30X2.

TAMPO: Awesome. Looks like all our hard work will pay off.

BRODY: I wonder if the master has any place in this future?

TAMPO: Doesn't say. In fact, there's no question here. How can I reply?

BRODY: We can't answer a question like we usually do, so...

TAMPO: Um...

BRODY: How about we give this weird-named guy a visit?

TAMPO: Sure, why not? Stlunko, open a reply.

{Stlunko opens a reply popup.}

TAMPO: {says the following, which is typed}

TAMPO: {not typed} Send!

{Stlunko sends the reply and the reply popup closes.}

TAMPO: Let's go! To the time machine again!

{The characters walk/float/drive away}

BRODY: {fading out} I can't wait to see-

{Cut to the time machine.}

TAMPO: {fading in} -too. This oughta be fun.

{The three bosses move closer to the vacant time machine. Stlunko starts typing into the machine.}

TAMPO: We'll probably have a huge palace!

BRODY: Yeah. But... what did that UL Guy mean by keeping me alive?

TAMPO: I don't know... guess we'll have to ask. Okay, Stlunko, set that thing to-

STLUNKO: Done.

TAMPO: Really? Okay, let's go!

{Stlunko presses a button and the trio's gone in a flash.}

{Cut to the future. There is a crossroads on a green field. The sky is redish-pink, and there's a fancy building in the background with a huge entrance, from where one of the roads is immerging from. Lots of robots of various descriptions are moving along the roads. There's a futuristic city in the background, buzzing with robots. In a flash, Tampo and his friends appear by the intersection.}

TAMPO & BRODY: Woah.

STLUNKO: We are now in 30X2.

TAMPO: Nice. Now we need to find our future selves and see what happened.

BRODY: But where would we be?

TAMPO: Let's find out. {shouting to moving robots} Hey, robots! Where's Tampo?

{The robots all stop and look at the three friends. Most of the ones with emotions laugh and start moving again, and the other robots start moving again too. However, one robot helps before moving.}

HELPFUL ROBOT: {In robotic voice} They- are- in- that- buil- ding- right- o- ver- there. {points to big building in background}

TAMPO: Thanks.

BRODY: That building, huh? Yeah, look, the entrance is high enough for me to fit through easily.

STLUNKO: Are you sure we should? We could mess up the future.

TAMPO: We'll be fine. Let's go.

{They start walking to the big building.}

BRODY: {fading out} Are you sure about this?

{Cut to inside building. Everything is dark. Tampo, Brody and Stlunko enter from the front.}

BRODY: Hello? Anybody here?

{When the trio is in the center of the room, suddenly the lights turn on, confetti drops, music blares, fireworks go off inside the building, and a huge banner is visible high up reading "Welcome from the past!" Bunches of robots are on the sides. Some are clapping, whistling, etc.}

BRODY: Woah!

TAMPO: What the?

{A gold-plated Stlunko, heavily jeweled and cyborg version of Brody, and a golden robot with almost as much decorations as firepower all enter from a dark room in the back.}

BRODY: Is that... is that me?

TAMPO: I think that's me in that cool robot suit.

STLUNKO: Gold. Gold. Gold.

{The 30X2 trio approach the 20X6 trio.}

EMPEROR TAMPO: Welcome, past forms. We knew you would arrive now.

BRODY: Huh? How- oh, I get it.

EMPEROR TAMPO: Yes, one of our robots sent that email.

CYBORG BRODY: We are actually doing an... expieriment of sorts. But we'll get to that later.

BRODY: Okay... so when do I get those mechanical parts?

CYBORG BRODY: When you start aging too old. Technology at that point of time will be advanced enough to do this.

BRODY: Cool... I guess.

TAMPO: So... why did you send that email, exactly? What's this expieriment?

EMPEROR TAMPO: First I think we should give you a vague idea of how you'll reach this far.

TAMPO: Okay...

GOLDEN STLUNKO: But not too much because that could irreversably alter the time line and mess things up.

STLUNKO: Understood.

BRODY: Alright, begin.

EMPORER TAMPO: After several years of being low-budget villains, we finally got our lucky break.

GOLDEN STLUNKO: We found a certain chemical.

CYBORG BRODY: This chemical was a super powerful weapon. We won't go into details, but with it, we were able to destroy most of our enemies, including Stinkoman and his friends.

GOLDEN STLUNKO: Stlunko, Tampo, you will have to protect Brody during this time. He will be exceptionally vulnerable.

BRODY: So that's what you meant by "protect Brody."

EMPORER TAMPO: Yes, but anyway... with the chemical's stregth, our power increased and millions of robots joined our forces. Soon we were so great, even the master became our servent.

TAMPO: Where is the master now?

CYBORG BRODY: He is actually doing pretty good. He is one of our greatest generals.

BRODY: So is Planet K entirely under your control?

GOLDEN STLUNKO: No.

EMPEROR TAMPO: But we do control most of this continent. We built several warehouses all over to keep our robots alive and working. But we moved to this grand palace in the heart of our empire.

BRODY: Now the email makes sense.

TAMPO: Yeah. So... what's that expieriment you mentioned?

CYBORG BRODY: Oh, yes. It is time to start the expieriment.

EMPEROR TAMPO: You know how it took us several years to start becoming great?

TAMPO: Yeah...?

EMPEROR TAMPO: Well, we were wondering what would happen if we had lots of money earlier. How great would we be now?

BRODY: Uh huh...

CYBORG BRODY: So we're going to give you a bunch of cash to bring back to your time period.

BRODY: Us giving ourselves cash... weird, but cool.

STLUNKO: Money! Money!

TAMPO: But... isn't it risky? I mean, what if it changes the future into something bad?

EMPEROR TAMPO: Yes. Here's what you must do. As soon as we give you the money, the timeline will rearrange to the new future. If you don't like what you see, drop the money and leave it alone, and everything should correct itself.

TAMPO: Cool. Are you sure its safe?

GOLDEN STLUNKO: Our most powerful computers have planned everything. It will work.

BRODY: Okay, so where's the cash?

GOLDEN STLUNKO: In this molecule compression storage box.

{One of Golden Stlunko's golden-plated hands moves toward 20X6 Stlunko. The hand opens up and the a metalic box with a small computer on top is visible sitting in the palm.}

EMPEROR TAMPO: This box holds three thousand pounds of gold, compressed into a tiny sphere and made lightweight with anti-grav gas. You type how much gold you want into the nanoprocessor, and you'll get it. It will give you near-infinite cash.

STLUNKO: This is great.

TAMPO: Begin the expieriment!

{30X2 Stlunko drops the box into 20X6 Stlunko's open palm. Suddenly Tampo and his three friends find themself if a gap through space in time, with lots of weird noises and colors, as 30X2 reshapes itself to match the new timeline.}

TAMPO: Aaaaah!

{Then in a flash, Tampo and his two friends find themselves in a new 30X2. They are in a big city, with lots of robots moving around an lots of factories everywhere.}

TAMPO: Woah. That was weird.

STLUNKO: I do not see any sign of our 30X2 selves.

BRODY: Okay... maybe we should drop the cash and change this future back.

TAMPO: Wait. {approaches a robot} Hey, robot.

30X2 ROBOT: {in metallic voice} Yes?

TAMPO: Can you tell us about Tampo, Brody and Stlunko?

{Suddenly the robot Tampo was talking to, as well as all the other robots around, have their eyes turn red. Sirens blare, alarms sound and guns and other weapons come out from places. Tampo and Brody are surprised.}

ROBOT CROWD: How dare you commoner mention the names of our great rulers in casual coversation? From the moon, their personal palace, they have ordered all of us worthless robots to never mention their wonderous names. Punishment is termination!

STLUNKO: Emergency Transport Home: Activate.

{Tampo, Brody and Stlunko disappear in a flash just before a bunch of lasers hit their position.}

{Cut back to the Time Machine Room in the Robot Warehouse of 20X6. With a flash, Tampo, Brody and Stlunko arrive.}

TAMPO: Woah, that was crazy.

BRODY: Yep. Still have that cash, Stlunko?

STLUNKO: Yes, I am still holding it.

BRODY: Good.

TAMPO: But did you hear what they said? The whole moon will be our palace!

BRODY: And we'll be so powerful, our names won't be allowed to be spoken in casual talk!

STLUNKO: And we will have money.

TAMPO: Yes. Money. Anyway, um... what should we do?

BRODY: Celebrate? Throw a party?

TAMPO: Are you sure? Didn't we just throw one?

BRODY: Yeah, but that was for some guy in another dimension. We didn't have too much fun in it. We haven't had a real party in forever. Let's take a break from work and spend some of our cash for some fun!

STLUNKO: We have billions of dollars.

TAMPO: Um... sure, why not?

{Cut to the meeting hall. Tampo is on the main platform; Brody and Stlunko are behind him. A crowd of robots are in front of him, with some chickens in the far back.}

TAMPO: {amplified by speakers} Fellow robots. For reasons that you do not need to know, we have just acquired a near-infinite amount of money.

{The robot crowd murmurs inaudibly; several robots look at each other. Several of the chickens start getting active.}

TAMPO: With this money, we will do lots of things. We will get a bigger building, better equipment and more power!

{The crowd starts getting a bit more excited.}

TAMPO: But before we do that, {yells} TURN ON YOUR EMOTIONS AND ORDER SOME ENTERTAINMENT, 'CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE!!!

{As the crowd of robots turns on their emotions, they are go wild in shouts and happy beeps and such. The chickens start flapping around excitedly. One of the Jaros jumps up extra high.}

THE JARO: {shouting} Wahoo!!!

{The Jaro lands on another Jaro, causing him to recoil. Then the bottom Jaro uncoils, sending the other Jaro flying up at the roof. It crashes into some overhead piping and gets stuck.}

THE JARO: {laughs} A little help?

{As the crowd looks at the trapped Jaro, suddenly one of the pipes bursts, releasing presurized steam. The steam sends the Jaro flying, and he breaks through the roof. Gasps are heard from the crowd.}

TAMPO: {in disbelief} ...okay.

{Cut to above the Robot Warehouse. The Jaro is flying up, up and away and the camera is following.}

THE JARO: {screaming} AAAAAAAH!!

{Suddenly the Jaro hits The Chibi's low-orbiting spaceship, causing one of the rockets to explode. The Jaro breaks apart and flies away. An escape pod is visible leaving the falling spacecraft.}

{Cut to a far away shot of the computer room, with the Plasma 2000 in the background. Tampo and Brody are in the middle of the room. Various robots are around and music is playing. The party is beginning, as several robots are setting stuff up still.}

BRODY: Man, this is gonna be a great night.

TAMPO: We haven't celebrated in a while.

BRODY: Yeah. Our future expieriment was a great idea.

TAMPO: Yes, but... what if we changed the future for the worse?

BRODY: What do you mean? We were practically the rulers of the world!

TAMPO: Or so it seemed. The details were pretty vague. For all we know, it could have just been a city under our control, and that our palace was just on the moon. Those robots could have exaggerated. We never verifed anything.

BRODY: What are you saying?

TAMPO: I'm saying that before we spend too much cash, we should go back to the future to make sure that we picked the better future.

BRODY: Okay... so when?

TAMPO: The sooner the bet-

{Suddenly sirens blare and red lights flash, causing all the little robots to panic.}

TAMPO: {yelling} What the crap's happening?!

{Stlunko enters the room.}

STLUNKO: Some extraterrestrial object is going to strike this warehouse is approximately eleven minutes.

TAMPO: A meteor impact? Well, use the warehouse's defense system to deflect it!

STLUNKO: We cannot. Ever since the "lazor beam" incident our warehouse defenses have been offline. Evacuation is nessecary.

BRODY: Are you sure?

TAMPO: I don't see any other way. Okay, Stlunko, get that money-box and hurry!

{Stlunko leaves the scene. Tampo moves to a speaker on the wall.}

TAMPO: {into loudspeaker} Everyone! We must evacuate! All robots and chickens are ordered to exit the building immediately. Turn off emotions and do not panic. I repeat, do not panic. Bring only what you absolutely need.

BRODY: Okay, let's get out of here.

TAMPO: Yes.

{Tampo and Brody leave the area fast. Cut to a faraway view of the robot warehouse from the outside. Silhouettes of Tampo, Brody, Stlunko and a mass of robots and chickens are visible fleeing the warehouse. Lots of murmuring is heard from the crowd as the exit the camera's view. Suddenly The Chibi's damaged spacecraft smashes into the Robot Warehouse, creating a new explosion. When the smoke clears, the destroyed, burning remains of the robot warehouse are visible.}

{Cut to a close-up of the Plasma 2000 in the damaged computer room. The wall behind the computer is cracked and smoking. The Plasma's screen is on, but damaged. There is a large crack in the middle and the screen fizzes and blinks occasionally. Also, the status icon has a X on it, and some of the icons are messed up. Nevertheless, the "Click here to email Tampo." popup is still easily visible onscreen.}

Easter Eggs

  • Click on the Status icon to make a piece of paper appear on the Plasma, taped on. A fake pop-up is drawn onto the paper, which the header: "This is real." The pop-up reads: 
System Report:
Everything is fine.
Nothing is ruined.
