Chapter 54 - The Final Lesson

Angle on Randoms Tower, cut inside to show various shots of the different characters sleeping. Then we enter the Hedge Realm, where Jessie is asleep

???

“WAKE UP!”

Jessie jolts up

Jessie

“Whoa... what’s...”

Tucker is standing above him

Tucker

“It’s time... go get Tim...”

Jessie

“Right, you’re still on this?”

Tucker

“Go!”

Jessie teleports, and Tucker turns around, under the shadow the mountain

Tucker

“It’s time... we have one more chance... Tim... you may be our last hope...”

Tucker walks off, passing the broken remains of the picture of him jumping at the massive beast

Intro Plays

Angle on Tim sleeping, he walks up all of the sudden, only to see Jessie standing above him

Tim

“Oh... you...”

Jessie

“Yup...”

Tim

“Umm... explain?”

Jessie

“No time. Follow me”

Jessie floats off, and Tim reluctantly gets up

Alex (muttering)

“Huh, what’s going on? Oh hi Sophie...”

Tim

“Can we bring Alex?”

Jessie

“That’s inadvisable”

Tim

“Mmmm, it’s midnight dude! Last time I got woken up this early was... a really bad day...”

Jessie

“Heh, this won’t be much better”

Tim follows him, suspiciously

Tim and Jessie pass Malcom, who’s heading the opposite direction

Malcom and Jessie

“Don’t ask”

They keep going

Jessie

“We have quite a time ahead of us, I think you’ll enjoy it... somewhat...”

Tim

“Right, why are we headed this way? Towards the- oh wait, Tucker’s behind this isn’t he?!”

Jessie

“Which Tucker”

Tim

“The hedge one”

Jessie

“Oh him? Yeah, yeah he’s behind it”

Tim

“Mmm”

Jessie

“Oh calm down, you’ll be fine. Tucker doesn’t kill those he likes...”

Tim

“Oh, now he likes me”

Jessie

“You are dense. He always liked you, he just had poor planning”

Tim

“He never revealed anything to me! Nothing about the truth anyway. Magic is just one big hunk of bad news”

Jessie

“World-saving bad news...”

Tim

“What?”

Jessie

“We’re here! Tucker will explain further!”

Jessie and Tim enter, Tucker is sitting at a campfire, wearing a cloak for warmth

Jessie

“Your student!”

Tucker

“Great! Welcome back Tim!”

Tim

“It’s... uh... really cold, explain?”

Tucker

“Well, it’s all part of what I’ve prepared here! Your final test as my student, in which you will prove yourself worthy of completing... um... certain tasks”

Tim

“What kind of tasks?”

Tucker

“That’s not important! You’ll see soon! Very soon in fact, so soon we should hurry this up”

Jessie

“I’m gonna go”

He leaves

Tucker

“So, you ready for training”

Tim

“No! After the island, I left that magic user thing behind me!”

Tucker

“TIM- Tim, you need this! It’s mandatory, especially for what lies ahead!”

Tim

“The raid?”

Tucker (slightly sketchily)

“Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to...”

Tim

“Me too!”

Tucker

“Follow me”

They approach the mountain, a new cave has been opened

Tucker

“So, through the cave I’ve hidden three pieces of paper. Put them together to get the full message! All your magical ability will be tested, good luck”

Tim

“Um, this feels wron-“

Tucker

“Nonsense! Have fun!”

Tim

“Uh... okay...”

Tim walks into the cave, slowly and terrified. The entrance closes behind him

Tim

“Mmm...”

Cut outside, Tucker is looking at the entrance smugly

Jessie appears

Jessie

“You know, if you don’t kill him, you’re gonna drive him away”

Tucker

“Nonsense! Tim’s strong enough, he’ll be fine”

Jessie

“You’re ignoring my second point...”

Tucker doesn’t speak of him

Jessie

“I know you’re fond of him... the best thing for him would be to shut this whole thing down”

Tucker

“No... he... he likes me, he’ll listen”

Jessie (sadly)

“Precisely what you said last time...”

Cut inside the cave

Tim

“Okay, scary cave, that’s fine! I love caves! Woo-“

Roar noise

Tim

“Oh lord! Bad cave! Very bad cave!”

Tim scampers deeper in, eventually reaching a... nice, quiet sitting room. A massive armchair in the corner, and two regular sized chairs in front of the fire

Tim

“Flames! Nice!”

He plops down in the armchair

Tim

“This is ni-“

He freezes, as he hears a creaking sound

Tim

“Oh... um... okay...”

The firelight casts shadows upon the walls

Tim

“Oh no I don’t like this... TUCKER! TUCKER!”

Some zombies enter through a doorway on the side of the room

Tim

“HOLY NUTS!”

Cut to Malcom in the gift shop

Malcom

“Hmm...”

P-Sauce enters

P-Sauce

“Whoa, haven’t entered this room in years!”

Malcom

“Why are you still here?”

P-Sauce

“I fell asleep at my desk”

Malcom

“You have a desk?”

P-Sauce

“Yeah! Anyway, why’re you here bro?”

Malcom

“None of your business”

P-Sauce

“But aren’t I an official employee?”

Malcom

“Mmm... and you’re very 80s, can’t go wrong there... yep, okay. Well, truth be told some of this merchandise is looking kind of... really bad... I’m replacing certain items”

P-Sauce

“What! No! You can’t!”

Malcom

“What? Why?”

P-Sauce

“Uh... my dad loves the stuff... the only reason he lets me work here is for the free merchandise...”

Malcom

“Wait, really?”

P-Sauce

“Yes...”

Malcom

“Hmm, but I really hate this merchandise... maybe we could make arrangements with your dad”

P-Sauce

“Uh... sure? But like, don’t tell anyone... about my dad, and my name...”

Malcom

“Why would I?”

Hard cut, Malcom and P-Sauce are standing outside a pizza place

Malcom

“Oh...”

P-Sauce

“Yeah...”

The door opens, and P-Sauce’s dad walks out

P-Sauce’s Dad

“Pizza Sous! Get in here, who’s that? Already hate him! Get in here!”

P-Sauce (sadly)

“That’s my dad, Phillip Sous, legendary pizza maker. Loves it so much, he named me after it...”

Malcom

“Mmm”

Phillip

“Hurry up please! Not getting any younger!”

Cut back to Tim, running through tunnels from the zombies

Tim

“No, no, no!”

He shoots an energy blast back at them, knocking one of them over... it gets right back up, now missing an arm

Tim

“Why are they so stupid?! They have so much to live for!”

Tim glances up, some conveniently placed stalactites are hanging from the ceiling. He shoots them with energy, and they fall, crushing the zombies

Tim

“Woo! NAILED IT!”

A small slip of paper falls from the ceiling

Tim

“Oh, I was meant to do that... THE FIRST PART OF THE MESSAGE!”

He reads it

Tim (reading)

“You are chosen-“

He pockets it

Tim

“Cryptic I love it! What’s next?”

He enters a corridor. The next part of the message is just sitting upon a pedestal on the other side

Tim

“Perfect!”

He takes a step, and a chainsaw just flies out of the wall

Tim

“Whoa, my whole life flashed before my eyes... I wasted so much time...”

Sheep

“Yeah you did!”

Tim

“WHAT THE- YOU AGAIN?!”

Sure enough, the sheep from “The Hedge Realm” is back

Sheep

“Yep! I’m like disease, you can try, but I’ll always be there!”

Tim

“Leave!”

Sheep

“Okay, this is legit terrifying”

Tim

“I’m aware... hmm”

The sheep trots off, as Tim stares at the hallway, in deep thought

Tim puts his arm in front of the chainsaw hole again... nothing happens

Tim

“Hmm... it only works once? Well if that’s the case... HA HA!”

He fires an energy blast across the hall, chainsaws fly out everywhere

Tim

“YES! I just outsmarted the most powerful magic user of all time! Nobody’s smart but me!”

He just trots across, grabs the note and reads

Tim (reading)

“‘You are chosen to defeat the dreaded,’ hmm... the dreaded... stupid blonde guy with a cape! Oh wait, he doesn’t wear cape anymore, never mind!”

Cut to Malcom, now inside P-Sauce’s house

Phillip

“Hey Pizza, wanna help clean up this pizza?”

P-Sauce

“Sure dad...”

Phillip

“So who’s your... friend?”

Malcom

“Um, I’m Malcom Silva! Head of Randoms INC! Y’know, the company your son works at?”

Phillip

“You know, he wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for those hilarious mugs! They crack me up man! Like the one with a picture of a cat hanging onto a dragon, and it says ‘fifty fifty?’ Priceless!”

Malcom

“Mmm...”

Phillip

“What?”

Malcom

“So, we’re getting rid of 90% of that garbage”

Phillip

“You’re what?! Then I have no reason to let my son work there!”

Malcom

“Uh, yeah you do”

Phillip

“Really? What is that?”

Malcom

“Well for one he’s dating my adoptive daughter!”

Phillip

“He’s what?”

Malcom

“Wait, you didn’t know-“

Phillip

“PIZZA OREGANO SOUS!”

Malcom

“Wow, his full name makes his nickname sound cool... that’s an achievement”

P-Sauce enters

P-Sauce

“What’s the haps?”

Philip

“YOU’RE DATIMG SOMEONE?!”

P-Sauce

“Uh, I-“

Phillip

“PIZZA!”

Malcom

“This is the dumbest situation... of all of the situations”

Cut back to Tim, entering the final room... a recreation of Tucker’s throne room on the island

Tim

“Oh... bad memories...”

He glances over, there’s a projector... when he touches it, it creates holographic images of Tucker (wearing armor), Warwick and Travis, all walking around the room

Travis

“You’re sure?”

Tucker

“It’s a prophecy that hasn’t been seen for thousands of years, and it’s adding up...”

Warwick

“Come on Tucker! The prophecy can’t be that bad right?”

Tucker

“Well... allow me to read... ahem, ‘When darkest one meets the shining eye, after the fall of good, from the depths the beast will rise, and to its hand all that is good shall burn, and darkest one will rule all...’”

Warwick

“Hmm... that’s interesting... what exactly’s adding up?”

Travis

“Shining eye... fall of good? What does that mean?!”

Warwick

“Maybe it’s a metaphor?”

Tucker

“No, it’s quite literal...”

Travis

“Darkest one will rule all... Tucker, this is it! This is how we can erect the Sorcerers’ Empire! If we have this beast under our control, no one will refuse our rule!”

Tucker

“Nonsense! We are fighters of good, not evil!”

Warwick

“Of course... darkest one isn’t referring to content of character, it’s referring to actions of the past! Tucker, you’ve done atrocious things!”

Tucker

“Shut up! You two let bloodlust consume you! You’re going to be the death of us all!”

Warwick and Travis glance at each other

Warwick

“Are we now?”

Travis

“Heh...”

Tucker

“What?”

Warwick nods at Travis, who nods back

Travis

“Nothing personal”

He and Warwick both shoot energy blasts at Tucker, knocking him onto his back

Tucker

“You fools!”

Travis

“We’ve been planning our betrayal for awhile. We knew you’d become too soft!”

Tucker

“Too what?!”

Warwick

“Soft!”

Travis

“I’m the new emperor, MY EMPIRE SHALL RAIN SUPREME!”

Warwick

“It shall!”

Travis

“Let’s go”

They leave

Tucker

“You fools! THE BEAST!”

The holograms fade out, and Tucker himself appears behind Tim. Tucker looks emotionless

Tucker

“The dreaded Fatality Maw...”

Tim turns to him

Tim

“Umm...”

Cut back to Malcom, witnessing the ridiculous argument that’s taking place

Malcom

“OKAY! Look mr. Sous, your son is extremely happy working for me, and he’s happy I’m his romantic relationship. At his age? That’s a miracle!”

Philip opens his mouth, but Malcom interrupts

Malcom

“And if you still don’t think that’s enough of a reason to let him go back... I can give you all the merchandise you can dream of”

Phillip

“Oh... deal!”

Cut back to Tim and Tucker

Tim

“The what?!”

Tucker

“The Fatality Maw... the beast from the prophecy...”

Tim

“Oh... um-“

Tucker

“The beast has been theorized about since the greatest philosophers of all time still lived, it’s a creature of pure malice, created only when a truly lost soul completes their greatest goal... um, that mixed with some black magic obviously”

Tim

“And... I have to fight it?!”

Tucker

“YES! You’re the chosen one!”

Tim

“But, how?! Why?!”

Tucker

“I’ll show you...”

Cut outside, Tucker leads Tim to the now broken image of him fighting the Maw

Tucker

“See this? This image is thousands of years old, it was created with the prophecy see?”

Tim

“But that’s you, not me”

Tucker

“No, that’s just it! It doesn’t just represent me! It represents the most skilled magic user of the day... and Tim, I believe you’re ready..”

Tim stares at it

Tim

“Me?”

Tucker

“Yes... are you ready my son?”

Tim stares a bit longer, then his face tenses

Tim

“No... wait a minute... I- I know what you’re doing...”

Tim clenches his fist

Tucker (nervously)

“What?”

Tim

“You’re... you’re just trying to stick your duties on me, so you can save your own neck...”

Tucker

“What! No! I’m... I’m just-”

Tim

“ADMIT IT! ADMIT YOU’RE SCARED FOR ONCE!”

Tucker

“I- okay yes, but-“

Tim

“OF COURSE! RIGHT WHEN I WAS THINKING MAYBE, JUST MAYBE YOU WERE OKAY!”

Tucker

“I- excuse me?”

Jessie appears behind a bush, watching silently

Tim

“For years... I’ve believed that there was good in everyone, some kind of redeemable quality... you though? You’ve proved me wrong...”

Tucker

“But- NO! TIM! I’m just trying- I’m just-“

Tim

“No Tucker, I don’t wanna hear it. I’m going back to bed, deal with your own problems. We’e done, forever”

Tim begins walking towards the hedge

Tucker

“TIM!”

Tim glances back right before exiting

Tucker

“Maybe we could make an agreement?”

Tim scoffs, and exits

Tucker falls onto his knees, looking miserable... he hears the bushes rumble, and a Jessie steps out

Tucker

“I... I just thought...”

Jessie looks at him, exasperatedly and pityingly... the shakes his head, and teleports off

Tucked crumples, arms down. He’s devastated, and shaking... then... a voice echoes through the area, one all too familiar

???

“Given up yet? It’s too late, destiny can’t be changed”

Tucker

“Who’s there?”

Warwick’s voice echoes through the fields

Warwick

“You try so hard to twist fate, but end up tightening it...”

Tucker

“Show yourself!”

Warwick

“Nothing to show... you’re aware of how the serum works? Heh... no, I’m fine... you however? Heh... you already know what you’ll need to show... the maw can’t be stopped, it will destroy all in its path, leaving you with nothing”

Tucker

“SILENCE! I’LL KILL YOU A SECOND TIME!”

Warwick’s voice fades, as he laughs loudly

THE END
