Transcript

{We open with the Ship of No Name sailing motionlessly through an empty world. Millions of small light particles appear and then instantly disappear from all sides. The camera pans closer to the ship, and we see Grundy peering out through the glass.}

GRUNDY: Where are we?

HOMESCHOOL: Well, I didn't get a chance to enter any coordinates before we left, so the computer picked the default ones.

GRUNDY: And those are..?

HOMESCHOOL: What we're in is basically the "hub" of the multiverse. It doesn't count as an actual universe, but is like the area between them all.

CHORCH: What are all those flashing lights?

1-UP: Well, in order for someone to enter another universe, they have to first pass through the hub. They move about the speed of light, and most people don't even notice they go through it.

{1-Up walks over and begins piloting.}

{Homeschool peers out through the glass.}

HOMESCHOOL: This is amazing! We're probably some of the only creatures in existence who have had a chance to see the hub up close! It's.. beautiful.

JARO: I dunno, it seems kinda bland actually.

GRUNDY: So wait, if all of these people are flying through this place.. won't one eventually hit us??

1-UP: {turns around while piloting} I wouldn't worry about it. We've got some pretty heavy duty shielding around this bad boy.

{There is a long silence.}

1-UP: Hey.. that's weird. I just did a virus scan and apparently Dark Greggo installed some crap on me.. What a jerk! Let me just dele--

{Several sparks shoot out of 1-Up's head and he falls backwards. The ship spins out of control, sending the passengers flying.}

STINKOMAN: oh, crap!

{A beam of light streaks through the air, and slams straight into the flailing ship. The shields activate just in time, ricocheting the beam in the opposite direction with a loud crash. We cut back to the inside, where Homeschool grabs the controls and the ship is leveled again.}

{We then cut to the inside. 1-Up is on the ground, the crew surrounding him.}

STINKOMAN: 1-Up?? Wake up!

{1-Up's eyes open, and he looks around. He begins to talk in a robotic voice.}

1-UP: Virus terminated. Homeschool program reactivated. {normal voice} Alright! What happened?

JARO: You let go of the wheel and we crashed into some crap!

1-UP: Oh my god, what did we hit??

HOMESCHOOL: I don't know. We'd better go over and see.

{We cut to the outside. The beam of light appears to be a golden spaceship, which floats mangled to the side of the Nameless Ship. It flies over towards the wreckage.}

1-UP: Let's see here..

{1-Up activates a small television screen that displays his face on a large screen on the outside of the ship. A microphone appears and he talks into it.}

1-UP: Hello!

HOMESCHOOL: We're sorry for hitting you!..

1-UP: Are you okay?

{no reply}

HOMESCHOOL: Oh, dear.

{Suddenly, a hatch on the side of the golden ship opens upward, shining a bright light towards the Nameless Ship. The passengers inside shield their eyes. They groan in pain as the light engulfs the ship, and eventually covers the entire screen. When it fades away, the screen is black.}

{Scene 2 begins with a blurry image of a large rock. It's dark, and the screen gradually pulls into focus. We cut back to reveal Jaro and his comrades lying on a bed of leaves and vines. The only light is from a small crack in the ceiling.}

JARO: Wha..?

{Jaro looks behind him and sees Grundy passed out behind him. He shakes him slightly and he wakes up.}

GRUNDY: ...what the? Where are we?

{The other members of the crew slowly regain consciousness.}

GRUNDY: We were just on the ship, and there was this light and..

JARO: It knocked us out somehow.. {looks around}

HOMESCHOOL: Where's the ship?

CHORCH: What is this place??

STINKOMAN: Whatever it is, we'd better--

{A large piece of metal is heard moving, and more light shines down on them. A rope ladder falls down. A gruff voice is heard.}

THE VOICE: Get up here!

{The heroes shrug and reluctantly climb the ladder. When they emerge from their cell, they find themselves in a humongous cave, covered with large mounds of shimmering gems of different colors. The grounds are littered with toiling workers, cells in the ground, and mine cart tracks. The heroes stand in awe.}

CHORCH: What is this place?

{A large pig-like guard dressed extremely large overalls appears behind him.}

GUARD: This is Sector J of our universe, Η ζωή είναι υποδούλωση.

JARO: Uh, could you repeat that?

GUARD: No.

JARO: Oh, well.. what does that mean?

1-UP: I think it means, uh... Life is... life is..?

GUARD: Enslavement.

1-UP: Excuse me?

GUARD: Enough questions! Get to mining!

{Six pickaxes materialize in front of them.}

GRUNDY: Wait, what?

STINKOMAN: I'm not going to mine your stupid planet!

GUARD: You crashed in to one of our patrol ships. You pay the price.

1-UP: But it was an accident!

GUARD: Doesn't matter! Now, start mining!

{Stinkoman lunges out in anger, but before he can even get close to the guard, an electrical current is run through him and he crumples to the ground in pain.}

1-UP: No!

{The guard waves his hand and the electrocution stops. Stinkoman lies there and Homeschool comes to his side.}

GUARD: He'll be awake in a couple of hours..

{The guard kicks Stinkoman's body back into the cell and covers it up. With looks of confusion and anger, the rest of the heroes pick up their axes and walk towards the nearest mound.}

JARO: {struggling with the axe} Ff... this wasn't supposed to happen. We're never going to find Dark Greggo now...

HOMESCHOOL: Don't worry.. we'll find a way out of here.

ANOTHER VOICE: Ha!

{They look to the side to see a large fish-beast with enormous teeth and hundreds of tattoos. His voice is surprisingly soft.}

MONSTER: You want my advice? Don't fight it. The more you fight, the more you get hurt. I used to rebel against these guys a lot, but after a couple hundred shocks to the head, I finally realized that the life ain't so bad! You don't have any worries, the food's alright, and you get a nice place to sleep all for free! You're better off goin' with the flow.

{The monster walks to the other side of the pile and begins mining. They turn around to begin, before small slug-like creature appears behind them. His color changes based on his emotions.}

SLUG: Hey, I'm Sid. I see you've me Johnny.

JARO: What's his problem?

SID: Oh, well see.. He used to be the leader in a rebellion cause against the Enslavers. Real popular guy. He'd get everyone riled up and once in a while he'd hold a protest near the gates of the Enslavers Pal-- {notices a guard walking by} 's of mine! Chums! Amigos!

{The guard throws him a nasty look and continues walking.}

JARO: {pause} What happened to him?

SID: Well you see, before they just used to beat us a lot with clubs. But we started gaining a.. resistance to that. So they got smart and started using the Palm Shockers. At first you'd get a surge of pain from 'em, but after a dozen or so times, they'd start messing with your head.

1-UP: How's that?

SID: I dunno. They mess with your memories and make you forget everything that isn't related to the welfare of the mines.

{There is a long pause.}

CHORCH: How did they get all these people?

SID: Oh, well.. ah.. most of them seem to be captured while they're speeding through the multiverse..

GRUNDY: What about you?

SID: Oh, that's how they got me.. See, I had just built this Universe-Traveler, right? And when I didn't set any coordinates, it took me to the multiverse! And I paused for a second, just to look around, cuz I thought I was the first person to ever pause and see it without speeding through.. and they crashed into my ship..

HOMESCHOOL: That's what happened to us!

SID: Yeah, they stage tons of accidents every day. Buncha people caught starin' at the multiverse, and those stupid mothers.... {sighs} They want you to think that there's some debt you gotta pay off, like they can't just repair the ships themselves... {angrier} You know, they got more money than you could ever imagine! These little, "accidents" they pull, aren't accidents!! When you're traveling through the multiverse, you're like a gas, you can't just, CRASH into things! They just wanna keep you down and crush your emotions, and and and--- !!!

GRUNDY: Calm down!

SID: {breathing heavily} Sorry... it's just.. I've been here so long..

{there is a pause while Sid catches his breath}

SID: I'm just.. so tired. So tired of seeing all these guys being brainwashed.. So tired of seeing these ****ing ANIMALS.. get so much money from our toil...

CHORCH: What about the rebellion?

SID: Kid, that rebellion has been over for a loooong tim--

{They hear a scream from behind and all of them but Sid turn to look. A anthropomorphic rabbit-person is being shocked by a guard. He falls to the ground. The guard laughs sadistically and throws him into a cell below.}

CHORCH: Maybe it's time to reinstate it..

{The screen fades to black.}
