Chapter 4 - Sorcery Solutions

Scene 1

Angle on a wall with a symbol on it (look at top)

It glows and the camera zooms into it

We enter a run down looking town with people in robes all walking around (the symbol is repeated everywhere)

They look at the wall, which is actually the entrance

When they notice it glowing they chatter excitedly

Three tough looking ones walk out of a building, they all have eye shaped badges

Random robed citizen

“It’s glowing! What does that mean?”

One of the tough ones pulls out a dagger, she points at the speaker

Frida (threateningly)

“What do you think we’re about to explain? Idiot!”

Scene 2

The gruffest one (Radcliffe) begins to speak

Radcliffe

“We just finished speaking with Emperor Warwick, according to him this was said to happen when we were trapped here! A certain number of us can go and speak to the one who trapped us and attempt to convince him to let us out!”

The third one (Grey) looks up

Grey

“I don’t actually care”

Radcliffe

“Us three are going to go speak to him! Side-note, we have to do it before sunset, otherwise we’re trapped again! Wish us luck!”

They all cheer as the trio of soldiers walk outside

Intro plays

Scene 3

Cut to an angle on Randoms INC

Cut inside the break room, Malcom is frantically looking at his mirror, while an employee is talking to him

Employee

“Sir, you have three scheduled meetings with potential clients today”

Malcom

“RESCHEDULE!”

Tim walks in

Malcom

“How do I look Tim?”

Tim

“Like you do all the time, why?”

Malcom

“I’m in trouble...”

Tim

“Why?”

Malcom

“I forgot about that I have a meeting with the sorcerers today...”

Tim

“Okay... that feels significant”

Alex walks in

Alex

“Yeah”

Malcom

“It’s a meeting I have every ten years, y’all were young last time”

Tim

“Cool, but why are you so scared looking?”

Alex

“Right? C”mon, you’ve faced worse-“

Malcom

“No I haven’t! The sorcerers and I have... ‘interesting history...’”

Alex

“Oh c’mon! What’d you do? Bet it wasn’t that bad...”

Malcom

“I locked them away in a cursed city because they were a threat to the human race”

Tim

“What?!”

Alex

“Okay... wow, that’s rough...”

Malcom

“It was a last resort! Only way to prevent a war. Anyway, the curse I used had a contract with it, you know how these things go, every ten years the sorcerers can come out and try to convince me to free them! If I’m even slightly convinced the curse breaks!”

Tim

“Okay, yeah... no pressure... we got this, you just gotta be stone cold, like... you on a daily basis!”

Malcom

“I don’t know whether to thank you or brand you...”

Tim (nervously)

“Ha ha... okay... that’s dark...”

Scene 4

Shade walks in

Shade

“There are some weird dudes out here waiting for you Malcom!”

Malcom

“Wish me luck boys”

He walks out

Alex

“He’s gonna die... isn’t he?”

Tim

“Yeah, probably... wanna go get a burger?”

Alex

“Okay, what’s the worst that could possibly happen? Why the heck did I say that? That’s always the red alert...”

Scene 5

Cut to Malcom in the meeting room

He’s on one end of the table and the three sorcerers are on the other

They glare as Malcom fidgets nervously

Malcom

“So... where’s Warwick?”

Radcliffe

“Emperor Warwick unfortunately couldn’t join us, he’s busy with creating a potion with the ability to cure all diseases”

Malcom

“Well... if I didn’t know Warwick I’d almost believe you..”

Radcliffe

“You are sharp as ever!”

Grey

“It’s actually a poison”

Radcliffe

“Let us be honest, we are trying to convince we are worthy of freeing... so, why not go out? Enjoy the fresh air! Let us prove our worth in the natural world”

Malcom

“Well... I suppose...”

Frida

“Let’s go then idiots”

Scene 6

Cut to outside, Malcom and the sorcerers are walking in the park

Malcom

“This is the park!”

Radcliffe

“Fascinating”

A pigeon lands near Frida

She blasts fire at it

Radcliffe glares at her

Frida

“What?”

Cut to Tim and Alex

Tim (spiritual)

“That’s why burgers are so fascinating to me, are they the true peak of human ability? Who knows?”

Alex

“I recorded the whole thing”

Tim

“Delete that video!”

Alex

“Already in the cloud, besides we’re here!”

Tim

“Yay! Burgers!”

Scene 7

They stop, the line is stretching to the outside

Tim

“Oh no!”

Alex

“Yep, that’s a line...”

Tim

“I don’t wanna wait through this!”

Alex

“A wise man once said “I invented CPhones to fidget with while waiting in lines!” Also no one said that, I completely made that up”

Tim

“I don’t have a phone!”

Alex

“Don’t have a phone?! What’re we waiting here for?!”

Tim

“Because burgers, besides I don’t want one either! Why would you need a phone anyway?”

Alex

“What if you were kidnapped by criminals and had to call the cops?!”

Tim

“Oh.. I guess your right...”

Alex

“I don’t have enough money to buy another CPhone 7+... hmm... guess we’re doing a 6...”

Tim

“What model am I getting?”

Alex

“Um, 6... I think...”

Tim

“Let’s go!”

Scene 8

Back with Malcom and the sorcerers

Frida (whispering to Radcliffe)

“I can’t stand it! Let me gut him!”

Radcliffe

“Tone down your threatening voice! We have to be discreet!”

Frida

“But I can get the monster that trapped us! He’s right there!”

Radcliffe

“Enough Frida! Quiet down! You wouldn’t want to disappoint Warwick now... would you?”

Frida

“No... of course not...”

Radcliffe

“Good, now stick to the plan!”

Malcom

“Keep up! We’re nearly at our next stop!”

Radcliffe looks at Frida intimidatingly

Grey

“I hope they have something remotely worthwhile”

Scene 9a

Back with Tim and Alex

They enter a CreaTech Store

Cashier

“Hi, welcome to CreaTech, how may we help you?”

Alex

“Give me the cheapest phone you got!”

Cashier

“Well, that would be this old 6-“

Alex

“Great, we’ll take it! Thanks!”

Alex throws a wallet at the cashier and walks off

Cashier

“Uuuum... I shouldn’t have this...”

Professional Blond Man walks up

Professional Blond Man

“How do you do?”

Cashier

“Fine? Who are you?”

Professional Blond Man

“Mayor Professional Blond Man! If you ever feel bad about something, I’ll take it out of your hands!”

The cashier slowly pockets the wallet

Professional Blond Man

“Okay!”

Scene 9b

Back outside

Tim

“Are you sure this is a good idea?”

Alex

“Yeah, anyone with a basic knowledge of technology can work it!”

Tim

“I have less than a basic knowledge of technology”

Alex

“You made a VidTube channel on the laptop! You have some stupid mock talk show on there!”

Tim

“How’d you know-“

Alex pulls out his phone and presses the play button on a video

Tim (on video)

“Whadda whadda what up? I’m the T-Man, former rapper and now late night talk show host! Tonight we’re interviewing... Shade!”

Shade shapeshifts from a stuffed animal into himself

Tim

“So Shade, I-“

Shade

“Is that a camera?!”

Tim

“No! No Shade, don’t touch that!”

Shade jumps up

Shade

“Die devil spy device!”

Video ends

Tim

“Uh-“

Alex

“It’s hilarious, I subscribed!”

Tim holds up his new phone

Tim

“Could this be a new future?”

Scene 10

Cut back to Malcom and the sorcerers, they are now on an island with a huge statue (this worlds version of the Statue of Liberty)

Malcom

“Here is the Statue of Ingenuity! Given to us by-“

Frida

“I don’t care!”

Radcliffe

“Frida!”

Frida

“What? History bores me! You know that!”

Grey

“How many inches is it?”

Malcom

“What?”

Grey

“Inches, I wanna know it’s inch count...”

Malcom (sweating)

“It’s 68 feet tall”

Grey

“Those are feet, not inches”

Malcom (sweating a lot)

“You... I... DO THE MATH YOURSELF!”

Radcliffe, Frida and everyone else (not Grey) look at Malcom shocked

Grey

“Inchest”

Malcom

“I’m sorry, there’s just so much pressure! Woof! Let’s continue the tour!”

Radcliffe (evil thoughts)

“Hmm...”

Scene 11

Cut to Tim and Alex

Tim

“This phone is the future!”

Alex

“Not really, it’s three models behind”

Tim

“What powers does it possess?”

Alex

“None, it’s a-“

Tim

“I feel like an immortal!”

Alex

“Aaaaand this is unhealthy... Tim, gimme the phone... Tim?”

Tim is gone and the window is open

Alex

“Tim? (Notices window) oh boy...”

Scene 12

Cut to Tim walking down the street, he has the eyes of a maniac

Tim

“This phone, so much power at my fingertips! I must enhance its power! I must become the new lord of this universe!

Alex is running past people

Alex

“Sorry! Sorry! (See’s guy) sir? Have you seen a maniac with a phone?”

The guy points at a coffee place, hipsters everywhere

Alex

“No, he’s- never mind I see him!

He runs

Scene 13

Back to the tour

The group walks in front of the tower

Malcom

“And that marks the end of our tour! Any thoughts?”

Grey

“Several, all of which involve death, because life... is so fragile...”

Frida

“Quite adorable!”

Radcliffe

“Even I admit, you have quite the town! About our freedom?”

Malcom

“Oh... well I-“

Radcliffe puts his hand out

Radcliffe

“We want a chance, that’s all”

Malcom considers

Frida

“If you shake, the sorcerers are free! Hurry up! Sunset’s almost here!”

Malcom raises his hand slowly

Frida is shaking with excitement

Radcliffe looks sinisterly pleased

Grey looks nonplussed

Malcom

“No, it’s to soon!”

Frida

“UGH! THAT’S IT!”

Frida pulls out two daggers and lunges at Malcom

Malcom dodges, concerned, but not surprised

Scene 14

Radcliffe

“Frida! The plan!”

Frida

“I don’t care any more! Malcom is mine!”

Malcom snaps his fingers and keeps dodging

Frida

“What’s a little finger snap gonna do?”

Malcom hears something

Malcom

“This!”

A flying, glowing sword goes to Malcom’s hand

Malcom

“The enchanted blade of Anubis! Acquired at-“

Frida

“I STILL DON’T CARE!”

They fight

Radcliffe

“Grey, we need to stop this!”

Grey nods

Radcliffe and Grey run off

Scene 15

Malcom slashes one of the daggers out of Frida’s hand

She uses magic (she is a sorcerer after all) to lift them on top of one of Randoms Tower’s departments

They continue fighting

Malcom

“Your pretty good!”

Frida

“Yeah, you’re not!”

Tim (distance)

“Imortaaaaaaaaal!”

He crashes (CRACK) onto the Department next to Malcom and Frida who stop mid-fight

Tim

“*breathes in* oooooooow....”

Alex slides down

Alex

“Don’t ever change”

Tim

“Yeah, phones don’t make you immortal... lesson learned...”

Alex and Tim notice the frozen fight

Alex

“Didn’t work out did it?”

Malcom

“No”

They continue fighting

Scene 16

Frida disarms Malcom

Frida

“Ha ha! Say goodbye to your life!”

Malcom sweats, he is actually concerned

Frida

“After I’m done with you, I’ll take them!”

She points her dagger at Tim and Alex

Malcom

“Leave them out of this! It’s me who imprisoned you all!”

Frida

“Fair enough!”

She slashes Malcom’s arm

She points her dagger at Malcom’s head

Frida

“Say your pr-“

FLASH

Tim took a picture with the flash on

Frida

“AGH!”

Scene 17

Malcom takes the opportunity, he trips Frida

Frida

“Whoa, whoa, WHOA!”

She falls

Malcom gets up, breathing heavily

Alex

“Wow, good thinking Tim”

Tim

“Yeah, that was on purpose...”

Cut to Frida falling

She lands on a mattress, Radcliffe and Grey are standing near

Radcliffe

“Great work Frida, Warwick will have words for you!”

Frida

“Oh come on, we still got plenty of time-“

Scene 18

The sun has set

Frida

“No! NOOOOO!”

She begins teleporting back to the sorcerers’ kingdom

Radcliffe

“Don’t think this is over Malcom, we’ll be back!”

Malcom, Tim and Alex look down at the three sorcerers being teleported

Tim

“Welp, I’m hungry”

He takes a step and nearly falls

Tim

“Agh! No! Too close!”

Scene 19

The Silvas are eating dinner

Alex

“So... can we address the sorcerers?”

Malcom

“Yep... okay look, I haven’t told you about all of my adventures, because I prefer to forget about some. There was a huge war, spanning decades. The sorcerers against average people... they did horrific things I won’t get into, but eventually, with help, I was able to trap them in the Mid-Realm. Every ten years they get a chance to convince me to let them free, last time they failed, and this time they failed! Nothing to worry about... but uh, sorry for not being honest with you two”

Tim

“It’s all good!”

Alex

“We’re with you until the end!”

Tim

“Yeah!”

Malcom smiles

Malcom

“Well... that’s good to hear... at least we won’t hav two deal with dark magic ever again!”

Scene 20

Cut to an angle on the biggest tower in the Sorcerers’ Kingdom

Cut to the inside

We see Warwick sitting in a throne room

The three sorcerers enter and bow before him

Radcliffe

“We are at your service, Emperor Warwick”

Warwick lifts up a canteen

Warwick

“Of course, wait a second Radcliffe”

He drinks a mysterious green liquid. Faint screams are heard from it

Warwick smacks his lips

Warwick

“Utterly disgusting, but it’s worth it”

Radcliffe

“Sir, we are here because we-“

Grey

“We donked up bad”

Radcliffe

“Grey!”

Warwick

“Hush now! I am aware that you were unsuccessful. It’s been thirty years, we’ve been rotting in this kingdom, and you screw up a chance at freedom. I admit myself disappointed”

Radcliffe

“We’re sorry... I no that you expect highly of us, so-“

Warwick

“Allow me to rephrase myself. I’m not surprised, just disappointed”

Radcliffe

“What? Not surprised?!”

Warwick

“That’s right. I was prepared for your failure, and prepared a backup I’ve managed to weaken the barrier, only from the outside though. Meaning mortals will be able to enter”

Radcliffe

“How did you-“

Warwick

“Don’t question my methods, and trust me... you won’t like the answer”

Grey

“I was wondering where Steve went”

Frida

“Oh... that’s dark... I love it!”

Radcliffe

“Well-“

Warwick

“Now then Frida, Grey, you are free to go”

They leave, and Radcliffe gets up

Warwick

“Wait a moment Radcliffe, one more thing. If you fail another mission, you will be stripped of your position and banished to the outskirts of the Mid-Realm... I assume you don’t want that?

Radcliffe

“No sir... I will not fail again...”
