Transcript

{Cut to a random mostly-empty lava zone corridor. It is occupied by Brody the Pink Cham Cham, who's zipping through it cautiously. The camera follows Brody as the tunnel opens up the Gokul Feeding Chamber, where a Gokul and Poorbt are waiting.}

POORBT: These he is! C'here Pink Cham Cham, come and share with us your ancient knowledge.

BRODY: {gets close} SqueeEE?

GOKUL: {listens, then squeals out something similar}

POORBT: You don't have any ancient wisdom? You just want to be free? Free from what?

BRODY: Squoh-squoh-squeeeh.

GOKUL: {translates}

POORBT: Your name is... uh... something I can't translate, and you're trapped in that body?

BRODY: Squee, squarg, squoh, squee, squy!

GOKUL: {translates}

POORBT: Be are oh dee why? ...Brody?!

{The scene switches away from the Brody to Stlunko. He seems to be in a makeshift lab in a random chamber.}

STLUNKO: {looking through a ledge full of chemical supplies} Location, location, location... there it is. {grabs a bottle of powder} I finally have access to these things. Time to search for fingerprints.

{Stlunko goes over to a table which holds the bomb. He shakes the dust all over it under the bomb is almost entirely white.}

STLUNKO: Searching. Searching. {his eyes flash} Nothing. The lava must have made it sterile. But...

{Stlunko flips open an airtight compartment in the bomb where a control panel lies. He then brushes some powder into it and looks at intently.}

STLUNKO: Oh-ho-ha-ha. Found a foreign fingerprint from before our recovery of the bomb. Time to see who planted it.

{Stlunko goes over a nearby computer and inserts some data, bringing a rectangle-shaped fingerprint with lots of straight lines onscreen. After some whirring and loading sounds, it pops up with an image of Master Sticklyman and the text "MATCH" above it.}

STLUNKO: Oh dear.

{The scene then switches to Tampo alone at the SaargtScreen II.}

TAMPO: Well, Brody's nowhere to found. Guess he ran off or something, have to wait and see. All this friend-searching is making me hungry. Hungry for... Checkin-checkin-checkin-checkin-checkin... my email! And run Tampo-underscore-Email, dot-e-x-e.

{An email pops up and Tampo reads it outloud.}

CSS:/>openmail: Stlunko+knowladge=evil!!

Dear Tampo
DON'T let Stlunko get anymore knowladge! If you do, he will
become a giant robot, so powerfull and hungry for knowladge,
he will overthrow the Master and take over the world!
Warning you,
-NachoMan

TAMPO: Oh noes, not the world! That's where I keep all my favorite celebrities! But seriously NachoDude, if that is your real name, Stlunko is already a giant robot powerful and hungry for knowledge. I'm sure a little more won't hurt-- and here he is right now!

{Tampo turns to Stlunko who has just entered the room.}

TAMPO: What is up, my giant robot brother?

STLUNKO: I am going on a little assignment, and I need you to stay safely in the Lava Zone while I am out. It is very complicated and I promise to explain later, but I recently acquired some new knowledge and I must go take down the Master.

TAMPO: Wha-what?!

STLUNKO: I told you, long story. I must go now. Is that another email you got there?

TAMPO: {quickly and nervously blocking the screen} Yep yep, just another email. Don't mind it.

STLUNKO: Very well. {turns around and leaves}

TAMPO: {after gathering himself} Oh dang. What you say is true! This isn't good, we can't have Stlunko overthrowing the Master! It'd throw our entire lives out of whack. He said to stay here, so of course my only option is the follow him and save the day! Tampo out. {quickly flouts out of the room, humming an adventure tune}

{Scene transitions to an empty 20X6 field. Stlunko rolls on in.}

STLUNKO: He should get here any second now.

{A small speck appears over the horizon. As it comes closer you can see it is some sort of rocket/airplane hybrid.}

STLUNKO: There he is. The Master... Sticklyman. I hope my hunch is correct, that the Boss Trio Reloaded are using their mind control device to aid them even more than I first thought.

{The rocket descents but continues moving quickly. It soars through the air right above Stlunko with a huge noise and then a loud crashing sound is heard. Stlunko turns around to see the rocket's burning wreckage sitting in a large hole in the field. He begins heading towards it, but then a figure is seen parachuting down behind him. Stlunko hears it faintly and turns around to see that it is Sticklyman, who safely lands.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Dangit, that's the third time this week! Okay minion, why did you call me here? You said it was important.

STLUNKO: {motioning towards the wreckage} Does that happen a lot?

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Recently it has. Some sort of interference causes the controls to go haywire from time to time.

STLUNKO: Fascinating. {whispering to himself} I can sense no mind control waves in the area, but maybe if I dig deep enough...

MASTER STICKLYMAN: I'm not terribly pleased with you. I strongly suggest get to the point.

STLUNKO: Right, excuse me. What do you know about this bomb? {pulls it out}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Waargh! {jumps back} Don't you know how dangerous that kind of bomb is?! It could blow up a whole city!

STLUNKO: It is no longer functional. But do you know where it came from?

{It looks like Sticklyman is about to speak, but then the camera speedily pans away from the two all of a sudden. It moves several hundred yards away to the forest edge of the field, where Tampo is silently watching them.}

TAMPO: As much as I like Stlunko, I can't let him go mad with power. The Master has a huge army of minions behind him, and we don't need to deal with those. I need a battle plan... like sneaking up! And when I'm close enough, I'll zap Stlunko's antenna. That should knock him out so we can do repairs.

{Tampo nervously glances around, and then starts slinking around, keeping low and hugging trees.}

TAMPO: Sneaking, sneaking, sneaking, sneaking...

{The camera pans back to Sticklyman and Stlunko.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: So what if I'm the designer of that kind of that bomb? I never tried to use it on you.

STLUNKO: What I am saying is a believe you have been under mind control.

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Someone else controlling my all-powerful mind? I should have you shut down for just suggesting it!

STLUNKO: Have you experienced any black outs recently?

MASTER STICKLYMAN: What does that matter, you—

STLUNKO: Calm down Master, I do not want to believe you planted the bomb. If there really is mind control involved, more than your pride could be in danger.

MASTER STICKLYMAN: {pauses} ...you may be ri—bzzt—No, there's no danger. If you continue thinking these thoughts I'm going to have to kill you.

STLUNKO: {eyes glow} Bingo.

{The camera pans away to Tampo again, who is now closer and in the open field, sneaking up behind Stlunko.}

TAMPO: Almost ready, got to make this shot count...

{Some static electricity can be seen glowing in the red of Tampo's lower brain. The camera pans back to Stlunko and Sticklyman.}

STLUNKO: Mind control transition's source confirmed. Our lunar warehouse... it is the Boss Trio Reloaded!

{Cut to the dark building with the two silhouetted characters seen in "cousins".}

VOICE #1: Oh dang! He knows!

{Cut back to the field.}

STLUNKO: Activating electropsychetic pulse.

{Suddenly all the sound disappears, and then is released in a ping noise as a faint white ripple radiates from Stlunko. Upon being hit, Sticklyman falls down unconscious for several seconds. Sticklyman wakes back up and staggers to his feet.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Yet another blackout, did anything happen?

STLUNKO: No, Master. I broke the mind control beam from you. Keep this jamming device on your person at all times and you should experience no more blackout problems.

{Stlunko hands Sticklyman a small metal device, which Sticklyman accepts and stores in his "pocket". Stlunko begins turning around and freezes when he notices Tampo, who is slumped over on the floor unconscious with some physic sparks shooting out.}

STLUNKO: No. Tampo, you were not supposed to be here!

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Looks like your buddy's gone all electrocutioned. Is this going to be a problem?

STLUNKO: The device I used to knock out the mind control transmitter emits certain waves that can disrupt brain cell activity, and Tampo... happens to be very prone.

MASTER STICKLYMAN: I see. So is he going to wake up?

STLUNKO: Yeah, I guess he will be fine. He will have a heck of a headache though.

{Tampo begins to groan, but stops half-way through.}

STLUNKO: Unless... his mind was weakened enough by the blast to leave him prone to the mind control device.

{They stare at Tampo, who is no longer sparking and has stopped all movement.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: That wouldn't be g— Hey! What are you implying?!

{Stlunko just looks at Sticklyman. Before Sticklyman can react, Stlunko is zapped by a strong electrical burst to his back.}

STLUNKO: Grrzcht—!!

{Stlunko recovers and turns around to face Tampo. Tampo is spinning around releasing laser balls and electricity all over the place.}

TAMPO: Whoohoo! Finally, I am in action!! This is gonna be fun.

STLUNKO: It is a good thing I always keep a spare mind control jammer on hand for just an emergency. All I have to do is attach it...

TAMPO: {getting some distance from Stlunko} Way to yell out your plan, genius.

STLUNKO: Crap.

TAMPO: {starts emitting electricity} Bring it on, Stunks.

STLUNKO: I really wish I did not have to fight you, Tampo. But because of me you are currently being controlled by another force—

MASTER STICKLYMAN: {interruping with a warrior yell} AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! {jumps at Tampo with a shovel}

{Tampo is caught by surprise by manages to dart out of the way just in time. As Stlunko watches, Sticklyman does a quick and powerful offensive on Tampo with his shovel and kung fu moves. Tampo successfully evades the attacks, but just barely.}

TAMPO: If you wanted to die so badly, Sticklyman, you could have just asked.

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Treason! You who is controlling Tampo, you will die!

TAMPO: Aw shut up.

{Tampo unleashes a large blast of electricity at Sticklyman, who just barely sumersaults out of the way.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: But firsts I must dispose of your meat-puppet.

{Tampo fires another electrical bolt at Sticklyman, but this time Sticklyman holds out his shovel instead of running away. The blade of the shovel is hit by the bolt and appears to absorb it.}

STLUNKO: Don't kill Tampo!

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Eh.

{Sticklyman jumps at Tampo with his shovel raises high. As Tampo begins moving out of the way Sticklyman slashes his shovel out, and the charged electricity zaps out and hits Tampo right in his red weak point.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Haha, K.O.!

{Tampo slumps over unconscious once more. Stlunko wastes no time in attaching the spare mind control jammer onto him.}

MASTER STICKLYMAN: So the Boss Trio Reloaded were dirty backstabbers all along, huh?

STLUNKO: Yes. It seems that they do not want to serve you, but overthrow you.

MASTER STICKLYMAN: Dang, they were so cool with their singlehanded betrayal of you. But I guess no one's perfect. But me of course.

STLUNKO: Of course, Master.

MASTER STICKLYMAN: I'll deal with them later. Right now I'm off to radio in a new ship. You can take care of mister flabby.

{Sticklyman turns around and begins walking away. The camera begins to slowly pan out as Stlunko begins nudging Tampo, who faintly stirs. The scene fades to black.}

{The scene fades in to the Poorbt, Gokul, and Pink Cham Cham from earlier, now going down another corridor.}

POORBT: Don't worry Pink Cham Cham, we're on our way to Tampo's room. Maybe he'll be able to sort this out.

{Brody the Pink Cham Cham squeels lightly, and the three continue moving around. The camera focuses in on Pink Cham Cham as a small bump appears on its backside without anyone noticing. After a few seconds a small flat rectangular thing encased in goo falls out. The three keep moving without even noticing it and are soon out of sight. As for the device, the green goo begins melting off to reveal a microchip device. It stays there fore several more seconds until Stlunko and Tampo enter the path.}

STLUNKO: All you need is a good night's sleep and you should be all better.

TAMPO: {groaning} Eeeuurgh.

STLUNKO: Yes— What is this? A small device left in the trail of Pink Cham Cham goo? It looks familiar...

{Stlunko reaches over to pick up the chip, but is zapped with a strong electrical current as soon as he makes contact.}

STLUNKO: Oop. I know what this is... this is the chip the Boss Trio Reloaded planted in it to keep us here. What was it doing with that Pink Cham Cham...? Quick Tampo, we must follow it.

{Stlunko and a tired Tampo continue moving down the path, following the faint Cham Cham trail. The scene cuts to the Saargtscreen II with the following message.}

A:/> Click here to email Tampo.

Easter Eggs

Clicking on the word "email" brings up another scene.

{Cut to the dark gray room with the two silhouettes.}

VOICE #2: Well, I guess we don't need this anymore.

{The sound of a light switch being flipped is heard and the scene is suddenly in full light. It can now be clearly seen that the silhouettes are Chorch Commander and the Trickster in the Lunar Warehouse.}
