Transcript
{The toon starts in Strong Bad’s basement. Strong Bad and Homestar are on the couch, Zarel is lying on the floor}
STRONG BAD: You ever realize we never did anything for Halloween last year?
ZAREL: Yeah, wasn’t it because of a baby or something?
HOMESTAR: What are you guys talking about? We totally had that one thing happen!
STRONG BAD: Homestar, I swear we didn’t do anything!
HOMESTAR: But, S.B…don’t you remember… {creepy voice} Night of the Living Rejected?
STRONG BAD: That never happened!
HOMESTAR: All of you guys were there! Even Pter for some reason!
STRONG BAD: Homestar, Pter made his first appearance in 2012. Like...a week ago.
HOMESTAR: I swear! I'll tell you guys the story!
'STRONG BAD: {sighs} Fine...
ZAREL: Entertain us, Starman.
HOMESTAR: Gladly!
{The theme music for the toon begins when Homestar says "Gladly!" The scene fades into a scroll through of the Spooky Forest as the words "Night of the Living Rejected" appear onscreen. "A Story By Lucian" follows.}
{Cut to the Cemetery from "Most in the Graveyard." Homeschool Winner and Homestar Runner are standing beside a grave.}
HOMESCHOOL: Thank you, Homestar. This means a lot to me.
HOMESTAR: No problem, Schoolym'n! So this person was almost your girlfriend?
HOMESCHOOL: Yeah...sucks that she mysteriously disappeared due to..."awakening the wind" or something. Well, times change, I guess.
{Cut to a shot of the grave. It says "R.I.P. The Hurricane, ?-2003"}
HOMESCHOOL: {offscreen} Come on, Homestar. Let's go pay respect to your cousins.
{Suddenly the ground beneath The Hurricane's grave rustles and her hand pops out.
{Cut to Zarel, Strong Bad, and The Cheat in Strong Bad's Basement, playing the Trogdor arcade machine.}
THE CHEAT: {celebratory The Cheat noises}
STRONG BAD: Sweet moves, The Cheat! Let's see if you can get that flashing guy's name to appear!
{A sound of something breaking is heard, and the three turn around to see a shadowy figure running past a hallway. It appears to have two tails, one on its lower body, and the other on its head}
ZAREL: What was that?
STRONG BAD: Oh, that's probably Coach Z. He likes to be all...shadowy and...figure-y.
THE CHEAT: {Makes a Cheat noise sounding like "Mmm-hmmm."}
???: Don't you ever compare me to Coach Z again!
ZAREL: Oh, crap! We agitated it, and it's after us-AAAAHH!
{The shadow jumps the three}
{Cut to the King's Castle, The King of Town walks through the hall with a bowl of butter sticks. A doorbell, oddly enough, is heard}
KING OF TOWN: {Opens the drawbridge} Hello? {gasps and drops the bowl}
{The Poopsmith is seen "shovel fighting" with another shadowy figure, this time with spiky hair, who appears to be using a rake.}
KING OF TOWN: What in whatsit is going on here?
???: Aha...my prime target.
{The shadow jumps the king with the rake, using the blunt end. The King screams}
{Cut to Marzipan's house, we hear indistinct chatter.}
STRONG SAD: Quiet down, quiet down!
{Cut to a shot of Marzipan, Bubs, Coach Z, they don't appear to be talking, but rather the chatter is coming from a tape player, which Coach Z turns off.}
STRONG SAD: Alright. We all know that Zarel, Strong Bad, and The Cheat have gone missing, so tonight, we're going to-
{The Poopsmith bursts through the door; panting}
COACH Z: It's the Porpsmorth, and he's making a nervous noise!
{The Poopsmith uses gestures to tell everyone "The King has been kidnapped by a spiky haired figure"}
BUBS: The KOT got jumped by a messy haired guy? That's peculiar!
COACH Z: It's alieorns I tells ya! Alieorns!
STRONG SAD: Calm down, everyone! Now we all know my brother, this could just be some prank he's pulling to scare us-
{Strong Mad bursts through the wall}
STRONG MAD: BABY BROTHER IS GONE! IT'S FOR REAAAAL!
STRONG SAD: Strong Mad, what is going on?
{Homestar bursts through a wall; somehow}
HOMESTAR: I just saw Pom Pom get taken away by little tiny men!
HOMESCHOOL: {walks in through Homestar's hole in the wall} And I know who they were...
{Everyone gasps}
COACH Z: {with the gasping} Goooorsp!
MARZIPAN: Homeschool Winner? I didn't know you were still around!
{Cut to the interior of Bubs' Concession Stand, Zarel, The Cheat, and Strong Bad are tied up; the King of Town is later thrown in next to them.}
STRONG BAD: What do you want with us?
VOICE 1: {a male voice} We want revenge.
ZAREL: Revenge...? Revenge for what?
VOICE 2: {a slightly different male voice} Oh, don't play dumb, Zarel! Don't you remember us? Late 2008?
STRONG BAD: 2008? Wait, why do I seem to know these guys from 2007?
VOICE 3: {a The Cheat voice}
STRONG BAD: Wait a minute...I know you three! You're-
{A cellphone is heard}
VOICE 1: {answers it} Hello? What? No, I said take them to Bubs' Concession Stand, not a maximum security prison! However since we loaded that fat blob King in, we might not have enough room. Bring Pom Pom here anyway! {hangs up} I swear, those Unguraits are useless...
STRONG BAD: {in extreme shock} Unguraits?!
{Cut to the Spooky Forest, the group at Marzipan's house are all there, with Homestar leading}
HOMESTAR: Come on, you juys! We gotta find these peoples! {Homestar walks near a telephone pole with a note on it} A-ha, a ransom note! "Nearest chap papers..."
HOMESCHOOL: Gimme that! {takes the notes} "Dearest characters, we've taken your friends. Meet us at the old Pietimer Place before Halloween is over! Love...The Reject Gang?" Wait a darn second here...I know who's behind all this.
{Cut to inside the Pietimer Palace which, surprisingly after 70-odd years, is still intact, albeit abandoned. Pom Pom, Strong Bad, The Cheat, Zarel, and the King are all tied up. Foxx and Pter are later thrown in next to them.}
FOXX: What do you want with us?
PTER: Who are you guys?!
VOICE 2: Oh, Pter, Pter, Pter...don't you remember me? "5 Bags of Chips?" "Watch your cholesterol!"
PTER: Yeah, I was trying to break your...wait...I remember that?
VOICE 2: Stop playing dumb with me, Snakey McMullet! You know darn well who I am!
FOXX: Actually we can't see you because of your shadowy visages.
VOICE 1: Oh...right...um...do the lights still work here?
{The tallest of the figures reaches for the light switch atop the ceiling. The lights flicker on and the figures are revealed to be Lyle, Tom, and Aruseus}
STRONG BAD: Holy plot-twisting crap! It's yous threes! The...um...blue The Cheat, the most human looking human, and...all I remember about you is that you checked emails for quite some time.
ARUSEUS: {sighs} You mean Lyle, Tom, and Aruseus.
VOICE 4: {a female, operatic voice} They're not the only ones!
{The Hurricane flies in}
VOICE 5: {another female voice} And me!
{Champeen drops in}
VOICES 6 and 7: {male and female childlike voices} And us!
{Preshy and Rafferdy walk in}
ZAREL: Sweet waltz of Matilda, it's the rejected characters!
VOICES 8, 9, and 10: {in a voice sounding like Blue Laser} Don't forget us!
{The Trio of Unguraits walk in}
VOICE 11: {growling noises}
{Dijjery-Doo drops in}
TOM: Yes, Strong Bad. The rejected characters. Old. Abandoned.
CHAMPEEN: But now, we will once again take the spotlight!
AN UNGURAIT: And this show will be ours...once we find our leader!
HOMESTAR: {offscreen} Not so fast, pass of gas!
{Cut to Homestar and Homeschool at the door}
HOMESCHOOL: I should've known it was you guys!
TOM: How did you guys get in here?! Lyle, I told you to lock the gate!
{Lyle hides his head in shame similar to The Cheat in Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon}
HOMESCHOOL: Champeen, my sister...and The Hurricane, my ex...why would you do this to me?
CHAMPEEN: We didn't mean anything by it, Homeschool...we were just jealous...
THE HURRICANE: ...by your reappearances! You've gotten more references and screen time than we did!
HOMESCHOOL: But remember the 2010 Decemberween toon? You guys were all there! Maybe not you three {looks over at Tom, Lyle, and Aruseus}, but come on. Please, untie these people.
TOM: Alright...but on one condition.
ARUSEUS: We want to experience the Halloweens we never got to experience! All 10 o' dems!
HOMESTAR: Hey...does that mean we have to have one big reenactment?
HOMESCHOOL: We'd be happy to.

ZAREL: So I guess this is goodbye, huh?

{The other characters rise into the sky as well.}
