Chapter 48 - Capital City

We see a brief montage, to some chill music. The Silvas traveling through different environments, until finally they pass a sign reading: “One Mile to Capital City”

Cut inside the RV to show the whole family (except Sally) gathered around a table

Malcom

“It’s been a long journey, but we finally made it to Capital City!”

Tim

“Yes! Woo!”

Alex

“Now we can finally discover secrets of the Eye of Agoro, and stop Jameson and Ex-Lord!”

Lily

“Woo! This is so exciting!”

Malcom

“I love the enthusiasm, but it could be a bit misplaced. I might know President Murray Pickett, but he’s a very busy man, the chances of him taking time out of his busy schedule to help us? Unlikely!”

Lily

“Mood killer”

Sally (from drivers seat)

“Hey guys, you might wanna see this!”

The others go up to the front seat, and all react very visually. They are approaching the massive gateway to the walled metropolis of Capital City

Malcom

“Here we go!”

The gates open, and they enter the city streets. Capital City is formed very eloquently. Statues of historical figures decorate the sidewalks, various natural elements are integrated into the manmade structures.

Malcom

“Ah it’s been too long since I’ve been here. I mean it’s a shame really!”

Tim

“Wow, Malcom, answer honestly, how’s the food here?”

Malcom

“Tim... it’s beyond glory...”

Tim

“I’m already salivating, thank you!”

Alex

“Hot daaaaaang, check out that bell tower!”

A massive bell tower is standing strong in the center of town. Alex chuckles, before sitting back down

Malcom

“Gentlemen... we’ve arrived...”

Everyone turns to see “The Royal House.” This universe’s version of the White House

Lily

“Whoa”

Intro plays

Sally

“Alright, you four go in! I’m gonna find us a parking place!”

Malcom

“Got it!”

Hard cut, they enter The Royal House. Malcom walks over the the receptionist

Receptionist

“Yes?”

Malcom

“Hi! I’m Malcom Silva, friend of President Murray Pickett? I’m here with an urgency”

Receptionist

“Ha! You know how many people say that? I ain’t falling for that! President Murray Pickett is-“

???

“Malcom Silva!”

The Silvas glance up, a man in a tuxedo stands above them, at the top of a staircase

Receptionist

“Sir...”

Murray

“Malcom Silva! Good to see you!”

He runs over and hugs him tight

Malcom (breathless)

“Yep ,good to see you too Murray!”

Murray

“You scoundrel! (He notices the kids) oh, what have we here?”

Malcom

“These are the kids! Kids, Murray Pickett”

Tim

“Whoa... politician...”

Alex

“Doesn’t seem like a robot, that’s a plus”

Lily

“Nice to meet you sir!”

Murray

“Delightful! What are you doing here anyway?”

Malcom

“Very important, ‘world in danger,’ sorta stuff”

Murray

“Isn’t it always? Heh, well! Follow me friends, explain on the way!”

Cut, they’re walking through the hallway

Malcom

“So yeah, we have reason to believe that that relic may have been built here! We’re hoping to locate a weakness, or something similar, I dunno”

Murray

“Well, I can easily be of... Uh... not much assistance actually”

Malcom groans

Murray

“But, my two lead scientists can help you!”

Malcom

“You think they know?”

Murray

“I’d trust Dr. Braveheart with my life!”

Dr. Braveheart bursts from a door behind him

Dr. Braveheart (playfully)

“I’m gonna kill you!”

Murray

“Ah...”

Dr. Braveheart

“Sir, there’s a flaw with the nanotechnology, we need more- oh my, who’s this?”

Murray

“Dr. Braveheart, meet Malcom Silva. Malcom Silva meet Dr. Niall Braveheart!”

Dr. Braveheart

“The pleasure is all mine”

Malcom

“Nonsense! Heard you can help!”

Dr. Braveheart

“Well, maybe to some capacity. We’ll see what you need first. Come, I want you to meet my intern, he’s very talented! But between you and I, he’s not the most infective personality wise”

He opens the lab door, revealing ROBERT EAGER working at a desk

Robert

“Yep Dr. Braveheart, we need to-“

He spots Malcom’s group

Robert

“Oh...”

Malcom

“Wait wait wait... WHAT?””

Robert

“Mmm”

Alex

“You, uh, work here now?”

Robert

“Yep... CreaTech wasn’t doing well, so I gave away the company...”

Tim

“To who?!”

Hard cut to CreaTech HQ, Robert’s old office. CBot Mini leans back in a high chair

CBot Mini

“I‘m the daddy now!”

Cut back to the lab

Malcom

“So, life’s not been kind to you eh?”

Robert (unamused)

“No, it hasn’t...”

Dr. Braveheart

“Nonsense! Robert is a creative soul, he’s been extremely helpful, if a bit cynical”

Dr. Braveheart bellows with laughter

Robert

“Yes... very good”

Dr. Braveheart leads the Silvas, and President Murray Pickett over to a desk

Dr. Braveheart

“Right then, what is it exactly, that you need?”

Malcom

“An enemy of ours has retrieved a dark artifact from us called the Eye of Agoro. It could be used for unspeakable evil, and we need to know more about its history. I thought, since this City was a hotspot in the sorcerer war, maybe the answer would lie here?”

Dr. Braveheart

“Hmm... an interesting proposal... aaaaand a GENIUS ONE! There are runes all throughout Capital City! Some say they lead to an ancient sorcerer temple! Taking a tour may be of interest to you!”

Murray

“I’ll pay for all of it! The tour, lodging, all of it!”

Malcom

“You really don’t have to-“

Murray

“Well I am! I haven’t forgotten!”

Malcom

“Right...”

Dr. Braveheart

“Well then! Me and Robert shall continue our work, it was a pleasure to meet you all!”

Malcom

“Thanks for everything, both of you! C’mon kids”

Tim

“Finally, I hate silence”

Alex

“I don’t mind”

They all exit, Braveheart and Robert watching them

Robert

“Well, shall we commence Operation Breaker?”

Dr. Braveheart

“Yes, yes we should”

Sinister music plays

Cut to the hotel, where Malcom hooks up a laptop

Malcom

“Right, tomorrow we’ll split up. Take pictures, they’ll auto download to the computer”

Tim

“Gotcha!”

Alex

“So what pairs are we going with?”

Malcom

“I’ll go alone... Tim, stick with Sally. Alex, stick with Lily”

Lily

“Hey, we haven’t done much together since the New Years Eve Party! Oh wait, there’s good reason for that”

Alex

“Yep...”

Malcom

“Now be prepared, Capital City is essentially made of confusion. It’s easy to get lost, just remember! Find the runes, and take pictures! I’ll piece the puzzle together myself!”

Tim

“Yeah! C’mon family, WE GOT THIS!”

Sally

“That’s my boy! Actually, you’re all my boys! And girl, *points at her, smoothly* Lilay!”

Lily points back, smoothly

Lily

“Sallay!”

Cut later, everyone is asleep, except Malcom. He’s chilling quietly, playing on his phone, looking at pictures of him and the kids

He hears a tap on the window, and turns. He snaps his fingers, causing the Blade of Anubis to soar out of a suitcase. He opens the window, and looks down. A hooded figure stands there, and beckons him to follow. Malcom clutches the sword, and makes his way down

Once he reaches the bottom, the figure begins to walk away. Malcom follows them, silently. They lead him down an alleyway, until they reach an abandoned 50s style diner, where they enter. Malcom sighs, and reluctantly follows.

The hooded figure locks the door, and removes their hood revealing that they are none other than... a twelve year old girl...

Malcom

“What the-“

???

“Keep your voice down!”

Malcom

“You just made a way louder noise”

???

“Yeah! And I’m owning it! Now answer every one of my questions! Also sit down!”

Malcom

“You’re twelve”

???

“Sit!”

Malcom complies

Malcom

“You’re twelve”

The girl turns on a bright light, pulls out a file, and starts talking to herself

???

“Phoebe Quicksilver, twelve and a half years old. September twelfth, 2022”

Malcom

“Phoebe Quicksilver? Quicksilver? Are you, by any chance, related to Nolan Quicksilver?”

Phoebe

“Uh yeah, he’s my brother. Haven’t seen him since he went off to college though... leaving me alone...”

Malcom

“Well that’s... that’s fine... I know what it’s like to feel alone, lose family members”

Phoebe

“Mmm, well it gets worse, either way... you remember the Neon City incident?”

Malcom

“Yep”

Phoebe

“Well ever since then, Nolan tried more internships! You inspired him to be more active. Finally my family moved to Capital City, so my brother decided to do some unpaid work for Dr. Braveheart”

Malcom

“You talk awfully... proper, for a twelve year old”

Phoebe

“Shh! One day, he ran back home in a dizzy, yelling something about overhearing Braveheart plotting to usurp President Murray Pickett! The rumor spread, and Nolan was fired... but not before he got me this...”

She pulls out a small USB drive

Malcom

“What’s that then?”

Phoebe

“Blueprints... for... for a machine...”

She plugs it into the computer, revealing blueprints for a robotic version of President Murray Pickett

Malcom

“What the...”

Phoebe

“Don’t you see? He’s obviously going to kill Murray Pickett! He’s gonna kill him and replace him with this robot!”

Malcom

“Mmm”

Phoebe

“Then Braveheart invited my parents to his mansion, and I haven’t seen them since... IT WAS MONTHS AGO! I’M SCARED!”

Malcom

“Hmm... well, I’ll be sure to question Braveheart, thank you for alerting me!”

Phoebe looks thrilled

Malcom

“But at the moment, I’m busy. Me and my family have a mystery to solve, Braveheart isn’t my main concern”

Phoebe looks horrified

Phoebe

“What?! YOU CAN’T!”

Malcom

“I’m sorry Phoebe, I have things to worry about. Tell your brother I said hi...”

Phoebe

“Wait! Um... there’s one more reason I wanted you to help me with this... so, I admit, I may have... (quickly) become obsessed with you and your work!”

Malcom

“What?”

Phoebe shines a light on the menu, where a massive board covered with Malcom trivia is shown

Malcom

“Whoa...”

Phoebe

“Yeah... it’s unhealthy, not too creepy right! Not that I’m concerned, ha!”

Malcom

“Mmm”

Phoebe

“So anyway, will you help me?”

Malcom

“Well... Ugh, fine! I guess the kids and Sally can handle it... *sigh*”

Phoebe looks thrilled again

Malcom

“Okay, I’m in”

Phoebe

“YES! WOO!”

Malcom

“One thing first!”

Phoebe

“What?”

Malcom

“How did you know I was here?”

Phoebe

“Oh y’know, just by... *quickly* following all of your kids social media accounts”

Malcom

“Oh yes, perfectly healthy”

Phoebe

“I know!”

Cut back to the hotel, Malcom crawls through the window. Sally is awake, sitting on their bed

Sally

“So... explain?”

Malcom

“Got distracted. Dr. Braveheart’s dirty...”

Sally

“Oh no! Who?”

Malcom

“We didn’t tell you? Oh...”

Sally

“So what’re you gonna do? Didn’t we have the whole Eye of Agoro thing to deal with?”

Malcom

“You guys can handle the pictures just fine, I need this- I mean, she needs this!”

Sally

“Wait, who’s she?”

Malcom

“Phoebe, she’s like twelve, don’t worry”

Sally

“Oh, okay... also you totally said ‘I need this,’ soooo”

Malcom

“Okay look... I’ve been... considering... considering retirement for a while now...”

Sally looks shocked

Malcom

“I just don’t... get the same feeling working there anymore, y’kmow? Heh... um... so yeah, Phoebe was a big fan of mine, it felt nice to be appreciated, after so long of just ‘hey! It’s the guy who saves us all the time!’ You get what I’m trying to say right?”

Sally

“Yeah, I guess... well, if it makes ya happy! Go handle Braveheart! We’ll take care of the bigger picture!”

Malcom

“Knew I could count on you Sally!”

Sally

“Let’s do this!”

Hard cut, they’re sleeping

Cut to an alleyway, Robert and Braveheart enter. They both tap buttons on their lab coats, transforming them into Ex-Lord, and the massive cloaked figure we had seen before

Ex-Lord

“I now realize how long it’s been since I lost the outfit, woof”

Dr. Braveheart

“Where are the other agents!”

???

“Here”

They turn to see Frida, Grey, Laura, Ricardio, and Wilson Sharp

Ex-Lord

“Perfect, your jobs are simple! Frida and Grey, after Alex and Lily! Laura and Wilson, after Tim and Sally!”

Ricardio

“Feeling under appreciated...”

Dr. Braveheart

“Nonsense! Your job is the most important of all! Come with me”

Ricardio

“Right... cool...”

They walk off, Ex-Lord turns to the others

Ex-Lord

“Well good luck, and try not to screw up... get the parts...”

They all nod and run off

Cut to Tim and Sally

Tim

“Whoo! Look at the sights! Is that a church?”

Sally

“I think so, real quick *reading* the church of Malcom Silva... Malcom has some questions to answer...”

Tim

“Yes he does! Hey look!”

A massive building, which is covered a scaffolding, obviously under construction

Tim

“At the top, there’s a pillar with some runes!”

Sally

“Well we could always wait for the construction workers-“

But she noticed something. Wilson Sharp and Laura Boyer have arrived on the scene and have begun scaling the scaffolding

Sally

“Not him again... ugh, well looks like Ex-Lord got here first... great...”

Tim

“We have to stop him!”

Sally

“So it’s a race! Ho ho! Excitement!”

Cut up to Wilson and Laura

Laura

“Oh wow, I’m tired, geez”

Wilson

“What?! We’ve barely started!”

Laura

“Well so what?!”

Wilson

“Why Ex-Lord chose us to be a pair- anyway, we got Silva company”

Laura

“So?”

Wilson

“So... this?”

He whips out his mechanical hand, blasts some scaffolding, knocking down the quickest way up

Wilson

“HA! Good luck with that! Ha ha!”

Laura

“But how will we get down?”

Wilson

“Very carefully, moving on”

He keeps climbing

Laura

“Ugh, more climbing? I have a back problem, you’re literally killing me”

Wilson

“I don’t mind, shocking I know”

Cut down, Tim and Sally are investigating the scaffolding remains

Sally

“Huh... so how’ll we get up safely?”

Tim

“Mother, it’s obvious... I thought it was at least... guess I can see why you wouldn’t... y’know it’s-“

Sally

“I get it”

Tim

“Yeah! So what if we built a, like a little staircase out of this wreckage, to make it the top of the supports!”

Sally

“That’s what I’m talking about! It’s flawless!”

Tim

“Yeah!”

Subtitle: “Literally Ten Seconds Later”

Tim

“THIS IS HAAAAAARD!”

Sally

“And Wilson and Laura are getting scarily close to the top...”

Tim

“Hmm... oh wait! What if I built a spaceship out of soda bottles? You shake it up, you blast off!”

Sally

“Genius, but I don’t think that’ll be strong enough... we need something strong, powerful! Forceful, but like what...”

An advertisement guy is shouting behind them

Ad Guy

“GO SEE OUR NEW CATAPULTS ON DISPLAY NOW! CATAPULTS! WE HAVE THEM ON DISPLAY! SOME ARE RENTABLE! HECK, SOME ARE JUST FREE! AND YOU’RE ALLOWED TO JUST LEAVE THEM IN THE STREET!”

Sally

“I got it! There’s a trampoline store across the street”

Tim

“Ooh! I call shotgun!”

Sally

“Gladly”

Hard cut, they’re dragging the trampoline over

Tim

“So much manual labor! Who does this?!”

Sally

“Me, I’m a spy for The Randoms Elite”

Tim

“Speak English woman!”

Sally

“Moving on, we need to get to the top using the trampoline... how are we gonna get that much power?”

Tim

“Hmm... well, maybe... er...”

Sally

“Whatever we do we’ll have to hurry! Look!”

Wilson and Laura are getting very near the top

Tim

“They can’t solve the mystery before us!”

Sally

“I know! We just need enough force!”

Tim

“What about that precariously hanging rock?”

Sally glances up

Sally

“That’ll work”

They get on the trampoline, Sally chucks a pebble at the rock, and it comes down... and tears right through the trampoline

Sally

“Huh...”

Tim

“Wow! That was pathetic! We should be ashamed!”

She poses in exasperation, hand on her hip... and she feels something

Sally

“No way...”

Tim

“What?”

She pulls out a grappling hook

Tim

“Inconceivable!”

Sally

“I admit... I’m not even mad! Let’s go!”

She grabs Tim, and shoots the grappling hook

Cut to the top, Wilson and Laura made it

Laura

“Hoof! Never again!”

Wilson

“Good to know, just not really”

Laura

“I’m the best!”

Wilson

“Keep telling yourself that”

Sally and Tim make it up, and pose dramatically in front of Wilson and Laura

Wilson

“Oh hey, how’s it hanging?”

Laura

“Took ya long enough”

Wilson

“Yeah, (indicates Laura) you made her look fast”

Laura

“I know! It was insane!”

Tim

“Oh yeah? Well... uh... quick read the clue!”

Sally

“Right, might take me a minute to decipher it though!”

Tim

“Cool, I’ll just fight-“

Wilson prepares his mechanical hand, and Laura looks threatening

Tim

“H’boy!”

Cut to Sally studying the piller, chaos reigning in the background, as Tim struggles to avoid his evil opponents

Sally

“Hmm... something about... a conservatory? Gardens... uh... oh! Liberty Park! Hold on Tim!”

Tim (sobbing)

“Yeah, no pressure! Take your time!”

Sally pulls out her phone and calls Alex

Sally

“Hey Al, next clue is in Liberty Park, conservatory gardens y’know? Are you and Lily near there?”

Alex (on phone)

“Yep, we’ll head there now!”

Tim

“Help!”

Sally

“Okay, I need to save your brother! Good luck!”

Cut to Malcom and Phoebe, approaching the Royal House

Phoebe

“Again, thanks for all the help dude! It’s an honor to be your client!”

Malcom

“Don’t mention it!”

They enter right in, and walk to the lab, entering and approaching Dr. Braveheart, who’s working at a table

Dr. Braveheart turns to them

Dr. Braveheart

“Malcom! You’re back! To what do I owe the pleasure?”

Malcom

“This kid”

Phoebe

“‘Sup?”

Dr. Braveheart

“Hey, aren’t you the sister of that- uh... intern?”

Phoebe

“Yes, I am...”

Dr. Braveheart

“Ah... I see... of course you are...”

Malcom

“So, what exactly is your secret project? I’ve been betrayed enough to know when things seem fishy”

Dr. Braveheart

“Well... it’s... it’s complicated... and top secret”

Malcom

“The two most boring excuses I’ve ever heard”

The stare at each other in silence

Dr. Braveheart

“Fine... follow me...”

He leads them off

Cut to Alex and Lily, entering Liberty Park

Alex

“Alright, these gardens are apparently where the next clue is located”

Lily

“Wow, you’ve been really serious lately”

Alex

“What?”

Lily

“I dunno, I’m noticing less sarcasm from you...”

Alex

“Well what’s that supposed to mean?”

Lily

“It’s fine”

Alex

“Oh... okay then...”

He looks awkward

Alex

“You liked it better when I was a jerk?”

Lily

“Not exactly, but I mean... it’s just sudden”

Alex

“Well after the last New Years Eve party, I mean I guess I... guess I wanted to be more... pleasant?”

Lily

“Aw!”

Alex

“Hey look! That’s probably important!”

They’ve spotted the pillar... but unfortunately so have Frida and Grey, and our heroes are aware

Alex

“Great, they beat us here! How do we beat two expert sorcerers?”

Lily

“Expert?”

Alex

“Moderate level sorcerers then! Any bright ideas?”

Lily

“Not at the moment... hmm...”

Grey

“Uh hey...”

Zoom out, the sorcerers are right there

Alex

“Ah heck!”

Lily

“Battle time!”

Frida

“Yes!”

Grey

“I was thinking something a bit more calm”

Frida

“Greeeeey! I wanted to maul them!”

Grey

“I know, but given we’re in a highly monitored public park, maybe wait y’know”

Frida

“Fine!”

Grey

“*grunts in rhythm*”

The two duos meet in the middle

Grey

“So... who’s reading this thing? Because I want to”

Frida

“Yeah!”

Alex

“Not an option, we’re on a mission”

Frida

“So are we! Ex-Lord won’t be happy if you beat us again”

Alex

“Again?”

Frida

“You heard me!”

Grey

“What if we did, like, a competition? You like games?”

Alex

“What kinda game?”

Grey

“A... a card game?”

Frida

“Ever play devil’s brew? Big sorcerer card game”

Lily

“I actually played it with Radcliffe when I was... y’know, a double agent”

Alex

“Mmm”

Lily

“You’re on Grey and Frida!”

Grey

“Heh, don’t mean to brag, but I’m pretty good. We’d have tournaments every year, and for the last five years... okay, not last year because we weren’t trapped, but the five years before that, I won every time!”

Frida

“We got this!”

Alex

“Bring it... right after you tell me the rules...”

Cut to later, the game is on (you the viewer should be very confused)

Finally, Alex and Grey both only have 1/2 cards left. Whoever reaches the Prime Numeral wins the pot of grub. As a pot of grub wasn’t available, the wager is on the pillar.

Grey

“Give it up Malcom’s spawn, I already have the upper hand”

Alex

“You what? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of me CRUSHING IT!”

Lily

“Tell him!”

Alex

“I did!”

Grey

“Oh I bet you think you’re hot stuff huh?”

Frida

“Stab him!”

Grey looks at her

Frida (stiffly)

“Beat him at cards”

Grey

“I plan too, be quiet now”

Frida grunts, and Grey returns to the game

Alex

“Well if I use a Vorbulox Cluster here, that gives me five cards, meaning I’ve reached 5/2 cards. That’s the exact number needed to receive a half card, leaving me with six, which triggers steal. I steal one of your cards leaving me with seven which is the Prime Numeral HECK YEAH!l

Alex turns the table and starts cheering

Grey

“It would seem your victory was fair... you may read the pillar”

Alex reads it

Alex

“It’s in a different language, let me send a pic to mom”

Grey quickly reads it and runs off

Grey

“FRIDA! I KNOW WHERE THE FORGE IS!”

Frida

“Ha! We win!”

She runs off

Lily

“They lied! Who would’ve ever guessed?!”

Alex

“Okay then... oh mom’s texting back! Apparently the pillar translates to, er, this”

Lily

“The forge remains where it always stood. The origins of those who knew they could. Hidden in the country’s crater. You’re about to discover something greater...”

Alex

“So... bad poetry?”

Lily

“No... what would be the country’s crater?”

Alex

“Hmm... oh wait, I know what that is! The canyon outside the City, Capital Canyon!”

Lily

“Wow, these people know how to name things”

Alex

“Let’s grab mom and Tim and go!”

Lily

“Okay, let’s do this!”

They run off

Cut back to Malcom, Phoebe, and Braveheart

Malcom

“So, where’s the top secret project?”

Braveheart

“Robert was just doing some last minute checkups upon it”

Braveheart arrives at a fancy door, opens it with a code, and enters

Braveheart

“Presenting THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN MILITARY!”

Malcom and Phoebe enter to see... Robert working on a tall robot

Robert

“Ah, you all made it! Pretty cool huh?”

Malcom

“Braveheart... what is that?”

Braveheart

“The WV5, my finest creation! Once Pickett sees this he’ll order millions! We will become the most powerful city in the country!”

Malcom

“Didn’t catch that last part, care to repeat?”

Braveheart

“Most, uh, defended country in the world!”

Malcom

“Heh, sure about that?”

Malcom pecks off a small button... which he was using to record everything...

Malcom

“Paul’s invention, handy little things... now, I know exactly who you’re actually working for, shut it down or I’ll reveal everything to Pickett!”

Phoebe

“Malcom, is this safe?”

Malcom

“Nope...”

Braveheart glares at Malcom for a moment

Dr. Braveheart

“I admit Malcom, the stories didn’t do justice... you certainly are experienced in these matters”

He knocks Malcom unconscious with a giant hand

Phoebe

“MALCOM!”

Dr. Braveheart

“Quiet girl! Robert, deal with her, I’ll get rid of Malcom”

Robert

“Don’t screw it up”

Phoebe starts running off, but Robert stuns her with a blaster from his pocket

Robert

“We’ve come too far to be stopped by a child. Nothing personal kid”

Robert starts dragging Phoebe, as Braveheart simply picks up Malcom

Braveheart

“Let’s finish this”

Cut to Tim, Alex, Lily and Sally, who are approaching a massive canyon

Sally

“Okay guys, we need to be sure to get everything. Malcom’s trusting us with this”

Tim

“We got this mom!”

Lily

“How are we gonna get down safely?”

Sally

“I have a very simple answer... very carefully”

Lily

“Mmm”

They start climbing down the side of the canyon, using all of the ledges, and overall just slowly making their way somewhere important

Finally, they reach the bottom. It’s damp, mossy, and very ancient looking...

Alex

“Whoa, what is this place?”

Sally

“It’s very... wow...”

Tim

“This looks crazy!”

They begin walking down the canyon, Lily notices runes starting to appear in the walls

Lily

“Yo Sal! Can you translate these?”

Sally looks at the walls

Sally

“No... I don’t recognize these, they must be thousands of years old...”

Alex

“Um, guys?”

They turn... a massive door (with decorations at look much like the Eye of Agoro)

Tim

“Oh, that seems very important”

Alex

“Yeah... who’s opening it?”

Everyone glances at each other, before Lily steps up and pushes it open... they enter...

A massive room is revealed. There a lots of blinking lights, a huge pit in the middle, various machines line the walls, and when they look up, we see that it has seats around it... like a stadium...

Sally

“This seems... bigger... than I expected...”

Tim

“Whoa... what’s that for?”

He’s indicated the pit in the room’s center

Lily and Alex look into it

Alex

“It looks like a fire pit or something... maybe this is the forge?”

Sally

“No! Maybe this is the forge!”

Alex

“Dude I just-“

Sally

“Look! What’s that?”

Alex glances over, the painting of Tucker, Warwick and Travis is upon the wall

Alex

“Whoa Tim, is that... the painting?”

Tim

“It is...”

Lily

“Wait a minute, this place is supposedly ancient! Tucker and certainly Warwick can’t be that old!”

???

“They aren’t...”

The gang turns to the door, Wilson, Laura, Frida and Grey have entered

Frida

“This forge was used by Warwick during the sorcerer war... but who cares about that? Ha!”

Grey

“They do, why would you say that? Sometimes!”

Frida

“Totally fair, let’s kill them”

Grey

“Yep”

Wilson

“Finally”

???

“Gentlemen”

Ex-Lord enters, Tim looks terrified, while the others look nervous

Ex-Lord

“We came here to destroy any potential weaknesses that the Eye of Agoro could have, get searching!”

They all run off

Tim

“Hey!”

Ex-Lord

“Oh yeah, Wilson, deal with the Silvas”

Wilson uses his mechanical hand, transforming into a gun, to pin them to the walls

Ex-Lord

“Did you really think it would be that easy to stop us Silvas? Ha! Of course you did! You’re weaker than you think”

Tim

“Am I?”

Ex-Lord

“Especially you”

Tim fear changes to fury, as he blasts energy and Wilson, knocking him over, and then finally using Bladcasting, slashing Ex-Lord’s face with a sword of pure energy

Ex-Lord falls over, his mask flies off... as he crumples to the ground

Tim stands over him, and gasps

Tim

“ROBERT EAGER?!”

Ex-Lord gets up, identity now revealed

Robert

“So, the truth comes out... took you long enough... but I’m not working at CreaTech anymore,I’m have nothing to lose Tim... you on the other hand? You have everything to lose...”

Robert pulls out his dagger, and causes Tim to back up to the wall

Robert

“Wilson! Up! If he moves, kill him!”

Wilson

“Yep boss, sorry”

Wilson resumes his position

Alex

“So... Robert Eager huh? Feel like I should’ve seen this coming...”

Lily

“Yeah, who else would it have been?”

Sally

“I totally thought he was Ricardio”

Ex-Lord

“Burn this place down...”

Grey and Frida trigger flames to erupt

Sally

“No! That’s what we came for!”

Ex-Lord

“We know...”

Cut to Malcom and Phoebe, now asleep in a cage

Malcom wakes up

Malcom

“Braveheart! Where... whoa...”

He looks around the cage, tries squeezing through the bars... fails

Malcom

“Phoebe! Wake up!”

Phoebe jolts up

Phoebe

“Where’s Braveheart?!”

Malcom

“He must’ve gotten away, we gotta stop him from finishing that robot thing!”

Phoebe

“Yeah, but how do we escape here?”

???

“Gee, no clue”

Malcom and Phoebe turn, Ricardio is leaning against the wall

Ricardio

“Don’t judge me! I came here for a potential casino deal, but wandered in here and got captured by that stupid scientist guy...”

Brief silence

Ricardio

“What?”

Malcom

“I totally think you’re Ex-Lord”

Ricardio

“What? No!”

Malcom

“Mmm, not excluding it”

Ricardio

“You’ve seen that guy’s hair right? If anything you’re Ex-Lord”

Malcom

“You could be wearing a wig”

Phoebe

“Guys! Let’s please just focus, and escape, AND FOCUS!”

Ricardio

“Got it sure”

Malcom

“Hmm... Ricardio, do you have a pin?”

Ricardio

“Why would I have a pin?! Just kidding, yeah I got one”

Malcom

“Mmm”

He hands Malcom the pin, and Malcom sticks his arm through the bars, and unlocks it using the pin

Malcom

“Right! Let’s go defeat Dr. Braveheart!””

Phoebe squeals loudly

Phoebe

“Sorry! It’s just such a classic Malcom thing, I’M SO EXCITED!”

Cut to Braveheart, leading President Murray Pickett into the robot room

Dr. Braveheart

“Mr. President! I present to you, the future of America’s military! The Super Soldier!”

Pickett examines the robot

Murray Pickett

“Again Braveheart, I’m not interested in world domination”

Dr. Braveheart

“It’s purely for defense!”

Murray Pickett

“Is it?”

Dr. Braveheart

“I mean, if we were to-“

Murray Pickett

“Niall, this has gone far enough! Just call it quits man, let’s relax!”

Dr. Braveheart looks furious

Dr. Braveheart

“I was afraid you’d say that... which is why this Super Soldier has another function!”

Murray Pickett

“I’m interested”

Dr. Braveheart (commanding the robot)

“WV5, commence operation Usurp”

Murray Pickett

“Operation what?”

The robot lunges at Pickett, pinning him to the wall

Murray Pickett

“HEY! WHAT THE-“

Dr. Braveheart

“Sorry Murray, but I’m gonna run the country my own way! You have a date with death... toss him off the roof”

Murray Pickett

“Toss me off the what? Wait that’s not necessary!”

Dr. Braveheart

“Oh but it is. Goodbye my friend!”

Murray looks petrified, as the Super Soldier drags him off

Cut to the forge, which is now on fire.

Grey

“Burn baby burn!”

Laura

“Uh...”

Laura’s looking very awkward, glancing at Lily, turning green, then looking at the wall

Lily

“Mmm...”

Tim

“What are we gonna do? We cant die like this!”

Wilson

“You can, actually”

Ex-Lord

“Alright! The fire’s strong enough. Let’s go! Wilson, remain a little longer to make sure they don’t escape”

Wilson

“Got it boss!”

Tim

“Malcom’ll stop you!”

Ex-Lord (sarcastically)

“Oh I’m sure, but in the meantime? Might as well relish in the fact we’re taking what he loves most! Ha ha!”

They all leave, except Laura and Wilson

Wilson

“Hey Laura! Get out of here!”

Laura

“Oh... right, uh...”

Wilson

“What are you waiting for?”

Laura

“I’m... I’m just...”

Laura walks over to Wilson

Wilson

“Is this flirting?”

Laura

“No...”

She punches him in the face

Wilson

“What the-“

Laura

“RUN!”

The Silvas run off

Wilson

“YOU IDIOT!”

They wrestle in the firey inferno

Lily

“Mom!”

Alex

“Lily come on!”

The others try dragging her off

Lily

“I can’t just-“

Tim

“Lily!”

She breaks free of their grasps and runs in

Sally

“What’s she doing?!”

Alex

“I don’t know!”

Lily runs in, the forge is melting down now, it’s extremely hot... like too hot...

She sees what she was looking for, Laura Boyer is now pinned against the wall by Wilson Sharp

Wilson

“Not gonna lie, I’m disappointed! You’re a traitor Laura! A traitor!”

Lily glances over at a pillar, which is loose. She runs over to it

Wilson

“You failed at everything. A parent, a villain, a businesswoman? All of it! You’re the biggest disappointment I’ve ever-“

CRASH, the pillar breaks over Wilson’s head, knocking him unconscious

Laura looks shocked, and looks down at Lily

Lily

“Let’s go!”

Laura

“Lily, you-“

Lily

“C’mon!”

She grabs Laura’s hand and drags her out, they tumble out of the forge, right as it completely collapses behind them

Laura looks up, the Silvas are looking at her

Laura

“I- I don’t-“

Lily

“Mom... you just risked your life to save me... thank you...”

Laura looks filled with real joy, for the first time, legit joy

Sally

“Well, one kinda failed mother to another, you can get your second chance”

Lily

“Uh, no! No, ha ha! I’m not ready for that yet! But... I forgive you? Kinda... almost...”

Laura

“Well, um... that’s a start?”

Tim

“Well I forgive her! She’s great!”

Alex

“Good job and all, but we lost our only lead on how to destroy the Eye of Agoro!”

Everyone goes quiet

Sally

“That’s not great...”

Tim

“No, no it’s not... maybe Malcom’s having better luck?”

Cut to Malcom, Ricardio and Phoebe, trying to navigate the Royal House

Phoebe

“Oh geez...this is nerve racking...”

Malcom

“Yeah... hmm... if I was an evil scientist, where would I be?”

Ricardio

“The roof”

Malcom

“What?”

Ricardio (Trying to come up with an excuse for knowing the plan that doesn’t involve him being in on it)

“Uh, well, see when I came here, for my Casino? I overheard Braveheart talking to... uh, some intern guy, about his plan to take over the country. He’s gonna toss Murray Pickett off the roof”

Malcom looks terrified

Malcom

“LET’S RUN!”

Phoebe

“Aw yeah! Mission time!”

They all get running, as fast as possible

Ricardio

“Do we have to go so fast?”

Malcom

“Shut up”

Ricardio

“Note taken! Slowing down!”

Phoebe

“No! That wasn’t the note!”

Malcom

“Phoebe, allow me to introduce you to Ricardio... he’s not good with notes”

Phoebe

“Oh! Zing!”

Ricardio

“Uh-huh, cool!”

They finally arrive at the roof, Pickett is about to be thrown off

Pickett

“Wha- MALCOM!”

Malcom

“Let’s go!”

Braveheart jumps out form behind a crate, and hits Malcom

Malcom

“Gah!”

Dr. Braveheart

“Nice try Malcom! I’ve come too far for this!”

Malcom

“Can we cut the theatrics? This is literally murder! I’m not standing for that, not again!”

Phoebe

“Again?”

Malcom stiffens slightly

Malcom

“Mmm”

Braveheart

“Oh deary me, Phoebe, you don’t know? Malcom was responsible for the deaths of his parents, and his best friend!”

Malcom

“Shut up! Those weren’t my fault!”

Braveheart

“Who are you blaming then! Warwick? Ex-Lord? All consequences of your own actions!”

Malcom looks furious now

Braveheart

“If you hadn’t fought against Warwick, he wouldn’t have targeted you! If you hadn’t gone after Ex-Lord, Carl wouldn’t have had to sacrifice himself! You indirectly cause your own torment! You are your own nemesis!”

Malcom lunges at Braveheart, taking Braveheart aback. He manages to get a ton of hits in, before snapping his fingers, causing the Blade of Anubis to soar from the RV, and into Malcom’s hand. Malcom trips Braveheart, and points the sword at his chest

Dr. Braveheart

“Malcom... we can stop now... I’m sorry...”

Malcom

“Oh are you?!”

Ricardio and Phoebe watch this scene in shock

Dr. Braveheart

“You can save Murray now, go ahead. Look”

Braveheart hits his watch, the super soldier puts Pickett down

Murray Pickett

“Oh thank goodness”

Dr. Braveheart

“See? We are fi-“

Malcom slashes Braveheart with the Blade of Anubis... Braveheart disintegrates... Ricardio, Phoebe, and Pickett watch in horror... Malcom, for the first time, has ended another human life, when he didn’t have to...

Malcom straightens up

Malcom

“Let’s go...”

He walks off, the others follow quietly

Cut to the RV, the Silvas (plus Laura, Ricardio, Phoebe and Murray Pickett)

Malcom

“Well Phoebe, Murray, see ya round!”

Phoebe

“Yeah, thanks for everything Malcom! We saved the day Huh?”

Murray

“Yep, if you need help give me a call y’know”

Phoebe

“Me too! My parents can help too!”

Malcom chuckles

Malcom

“Thanks for offering”

Tim

“Wow! What an eventful trip! Let’s head home, bye Capital City! See ya later!”

He loads up, the other Silvas follow

Malcom turns to Laura and Ricardio

Malcom

“You need rides? Mmm, get in”

Laura

“Thank you Malcom”

She loads up

Ricardio

“So... you’re not gonna tell your family about what you did to Braveheart?”

Malcom

“No...”

Ricardio

“Good! That would be stupid, you don’t need to drop your baggage on them, they’d probably get all concerned or whatever, bleh...”

He loads up, Malcom salutes Murray and Phoebe... before loading up, and driving off

We get one last shot of Malcom, looking horrified at what he did to Braveheart. The others are all asleep, so they don’t notice his tears... Malcom did something so ill-befitting of his character, that now? It’s starting to get to him... and not talking about it? Well, that’s gonna make it worse...

Cut to Ex-Lord’s warehouse, the man himself bursts inside, enraged. Frida and Grey follow

Ex-Lord

“We lost Wilson, Laura, and Braveheart! All in one trip! Gah!”

Grey

“Dude calm down!”

Ex-Lord

“No! I’m supposed to be the leader, and I screwed up!”

???

“Oh did you?”

Ex-Lord turns... a throne has been erected, and sitting in it? Jameson Mameson...

Ex-Lord

“You’re kidding...”

Jameson

“Hello Exy... mission didn’t go to well?”

Ex-Lord

“What did you do?”

Jameson

“I’ve changes since you’ve last seen me Exy, I’ve grown! I’m stronger now!”

He blasts a massive beam of energy through the roof for emphasis

Jameson

“Smarter!”

He pulls out an 8th grade math textbook, that he’s filled out (he indicates this with pride)

Jameson

“And am ready to replete you as leader of the dark alliance!”

Ex-Lord chuckles

Ex-Lord

“No...”

Jameson

“Um... that’s not what you’re supposed to say... uh...”

Ex-Lord

“Get down from there, you look like an idiot!”

Jameson gets flustered

Jameson

“I’M SICK OF YOU IGNORING ME! I’m just as evil as you, as anyone!”

Ex-Lord

“No, you’re not! It’s like I said when we first worked together. You’re a disappointment Jameson, that’s all”

Jameson

“That wasn’t you! That was Robert Eager”

Ex-Lord indicates his now maskless face

Jameson

“Ooooooh, you’re Rob- okay. I feel like I should’ve known that... uh, anyway! Look, just let me lead the raid!”

Ex-Lord

“No”

Jameson looks angry now, and this triggers the Eye of Agoro, which by itself shoots a beam at Ex-Lord

Ex-Lord

“Agh!”

It’s stays on him, causing him to shout in pain, before eventually falling on his knees

Ex-Lord

“What- what was that?”

Jameson

“I’m not- I mean, your punishment! Obviously! Bow to your new emperor!”

Grey and Frida both look frightened, they haven’t seen abilities like that since Warwick. They moth instantly bow

Jameson

“Robert?”

Ex-Lord, very stiffly and reluctantly, bows

Jameson

“That’s better... Randoms INC will now fall!”

Jameson cackles

The end
