(We fade in to the Histerians' kids' school just as it was let out for a week. The next generation of Histerians came out.)
Cinnamon: Wow! Coolie-cool! We get a whole week with no school!
Toadster: Too bad we have to spend it doing an assignment.
Leon: What is it?
BB: Well, we have to write what our parents like when they were our kids, up to 100 words or more.
Smiling Kelly: Wow. That's scary. Imagine, our parents when they were our age. So what shall we do?
Gene Berry: Well, we could ask them and see that they will tell us.
BB: Don't you remember? Our parents will be in Burbank visiting some old friends. (sighs) Our old babysitters will take care of us.
Leon: Well, this stinks. How are we going to do our assignment? Look up in the library.
Toadster: We have to do one subject about our parents. Maybe we should do the Washington D.C. incident they were in.
BB: Maybe uncle Smarty could tell us.
Gene Berry: Yeah. He was with them and he's the only one besides your aunt Info who isn't going anywhere. Let's go visit them.
(We cut to outside the home of Mr. Smartypants and Miss Information. BB knocks on the door and Miss Info answered)
Miss Information: Oh, hello BB!
BB: Hey aunt Info. Is Uncle Smarty home?
Miss Information: Well, sure! He's in the lab right now!
(The kids went in and we QC to the lab. Smartypants is in there working when the kids came in.)
Cinnamon: Hey Smarty!
Smartypants: Oh hello kids. What can I do you for?
BB: We need some help on our assignment which is do right after our week of vacation is over. We need to write down what our parents are like when they were our age.
Smartypants: Maybe you could ask them?
Smiling Kelly: They are going to be in Burbank. Since you know them, maybe you could help.
Smartypants: Well, I do know a lot of stuff. What is it you wanted to know?
Leon: The Washington D.C. incident.
Smartypants: That's all? Anything else?
BB: (pause) Well...there is one...if we want to see the event. Perhaps we could live it ourselves.
Kelly: I don't think we went over that idea before we got here....assuming we're talking about time travel.
BB: Time travel or some other way we can go back and see what happened that day ourselves. That's the best way we're gonna learn about it and write about how it happened, to see it! See what the holograms and news reports didn't catch, see it as it happened! That'd be awesome!
Mr Smartypants: You sure you wanna do this? There are already all kinds of holograms out there about your parents past.
BB: None of them could do justice, not even Dad's stories about it could. We wanna see what it was like for them ourselves.
Toadster: By us you mean you at the moment.
Mr Smartypants: Even though practically every time travel experiment there is went wrong and almost destroyed time.
BB: You're the smartest guy alive, isn't there some way to do this that won't destroy time?
Smartypants:{Pause}There is another way that might do less damage. But I've only tested it about 10 times, it's still pretty new.
Leon: Is that a bad thing?
Smartypants: Maybe it isn't....yes, there's no way to ruin time with this one.
BB: Then say what it is, please, so we can judge for ourselves.
Cinnamon: Is this some kind of experiment that could end up bad? Seems like too much to go through for a paper.
BB: But we'd get to see our parents when they were young!
Gene: We get to see that every day during reruns on Cartoon Network 45, and on CN 46 on weekends.
BB: That was TV, most people didn't appreciate them on there until they saved the world. This is the event that finally made them popular and turned people against their enemies forever....this is the event where Mom and Dad found each other. I have to see that when it actually happened....or at least a suitable recreation.
Kelly:{Pause}Mr Smartypants, are you sure this thing you mentioned really won't ruin time or put us in danger?
Smartypants: If it works right, then that should be exactly the case.
(We now see Smartypants leading the kids into a room where a machine is at. He pushed a few buttons allowing the door to the machine to opened up.)
Mr. Smartypants: Okay, if you all would step in here, we will begin the demonstration.
Gene Berry: So what is it anyway?
Mr. Smartypants: It is a simulation machine. It's like a virtual reality device and a time travelling machine but no time will be damaged.
(The kids stepped into the machine which is a big room.)
Mr. Smartypants: You'll be part of a simulation, something that doesn't send you back in time, but recreates the past through artificial means.
Toadster: So we will see what our parents are like when they were kids in Washington D.C.?
Mr. Smartypants: Yep. All I have to do is to set the simulation to the event and such and you're there. You will be arrived at Washington D.C. a few minutes before Gene Burrows attacked.
Cinnamon: Cool! We get to see our parents as they fell in love! Ha ha ha ha!
Kelly: Actually Cinnamon, your parents don't fell in love until after they met R6. Mine are already in love though no one knew it. Toadster's parents don't go for each other until after his mom moved back from wherever she was. Leon's...
Leon: Okay, okay, I get it! Can we get on with this? I will experience disappointment that my mom and dad won't be there but at least just do it!
Mr. Smartypants: Very well.
(Smartypants closes the door leaving the kids inside. Outside, he pressed a few buttons and switches, making settings. He speaks into a mike to speak to the kids into the machine.)
Mr. Smartypants: Like I said, you will be in a simulation of the reenactment of what happened in the year 2000. You will see people but they aren't real. None of the fake versions of your parents, or their enemies, can see you or hurt you. So you can just sit back, let my machine recreate those battles for you, and enjoy the show.
(Inside the machine, the kids waited)
BB: Are you excited, guys?
Gene Berry: I am. I am seeing the guy who I was named after. It is both exciting yet scary at the same time.
Kelly: Don't I know it.
(Soon the whole room came to life. Before the kids could blink, the whole room begins to change. Suddenly, they found themselves in the streets of Washington D.C. The time: February 23, 2000.)
Cinnamon: Wow! We are here, we are actually here.
Toadster: So this is what it's like to time travelling without the obvious. Nice.
BB: Okay, where are our parents at this time?
Leon: Mine are nowhere here and neither are Gene's. Yours are at that Watergate Hotel.
BB: Okay, if we get going, we will be in time for the show to start.
Kelly: You are eager to see your mom and dad's relationship going don't you?
BB: (smirking) Like I could keep a secret. Come on.
Leon: (walking away) So you think after this, we would have the stuff we need for our assignment? And are you guys sure we will be all right?
Gene Berry: Come on, Leon. I am sure Smarty wouldn't put us in this thing if it wasn't safe.
Cinnamon: After all, he is a smart guy...who lived in his pants!
{Cut to the Watergate Hotel, as the kids walk towards it}
Kelly: So...are we actually going to talk to them? Can we actually watch them without them seeing us, how is this gonna go?
Gene: It sounds like they won't be able to see us or talk to us. We just watch them and they'll do whatever they did on that day.
BB: So....I can yell and no one will be able to hear me, for example.
Toadster: I think the living ones would still hear it, right living dudes? I'd kinda like to keep my hearing so I can do this thing.
BB: Fine, fine....so if these simulations can't interact with us, they can't stop us from going in.
{They go inside, and head for the front desk- there, they actually see the younger versions of their parents}
Gene: It's them....
Kelly: Wow...Dad's drool really was bigger than it is now!
Cinnamon: Wow, Mom and Dad's fashion looks even cooler up close! What do you think, BB?
{BB just looks at the simulations of younger Loud and Charity without saying anything. At that point, a secretary comes to the desk}
Harry: Excuse me Miss, we're checking out now, so whatever we owe you, tell us how much because we must get out now!
Secretary: Why, you've been here for only an hour, what's wrong with the place?
Miss Info: There's nothing wrong with it, we're leaving because pure evil has arrived in this city, and we must escape it.
Secretary: Oh, you mean that Gene Burrows guy? Yeah, the news has been all over it for the last hour, Dan Bladder can't stop talking about it.{They turn to the TV}
Bladder: ...so anyone who even knows this madman should get out while they....wait a minute, an urgent story has just been passed to me. Wait, is this a joke? A giant something or other is rampaging through Washington?{We now see again the damage from earlier} Oh my, oh my, this isn't a joke. Ladies and gentlemen, more details are being passed to me that a giant something is in the city. We even have an eyewitness that our newsman caught up with a second ago.{We see Nathan}
Nathan: It was horrible, this...thing destroyed everyone and everything! It was a giant! It's got pointy legs, and it's so huge, we're all doomed!! If it did this it'll get everyone!! It's gonna kill us all!!
Bladder: With this report and more sightings of this thing coming in to me, and the news of Gene's Burrows' possible residence here, it looks like this is his way of welcoming himself back to the free world in a vengeful way. And I see only one way to escape this rampage. GET OUT OF WASHINGTON EVERYONE!!!
Harry: Sounds like good advice, let's go!
BB: Aw, we missed whatever love stuff Mom and Dad had before the attack! Now we gotta wait till the spider thing comes before we get anything good there.{Just then, the rumbling from the spider's walking is heard}
Kelly: Looks like we came in right on time on the action front...{Pause}Rubble and lasers in this simulation can't hurt, right?
Leon: I'd like to keep that as an unanswered question.
{Gene looks around as the rumbling gets louder, and sees a man in a trenchcoat trying to get ready to fire}
Gene: Is that him?
BB:{Turns}No, Gene's all the way out there walking the spider! I know who that guy's supposed to be...{Just then, the first laser from the spider is fired and destroys the street outside, and soon enough the spider itself comes into view}
Sammy: Um, I think it's time to end this sightseeing and RUN AWAY!!
Harry: Quick, run out the back, he'll see us otherwise!
{They run away to the back of the hotel. Nearby, the trenchcoated man falls to the floor from the rumbling, and his hat falls off. We now see who he is; it's Vincent Morre}
Toadster: Wow....the less remembered enemy from that day.
BB:{Pause}I guess it would be pointless to take a shot at him, since he won't feel it.
Kelly: Come on then, we might as well get a better view of this outside.
{They run outside just as the spider walks past the hotel and goes on it's way. The kids try to avoid the mob of people running by}
Leon: I thought we couldn't touch them!{One of the people knocks him down}
Gene: They just can't see us anywhere, they can probably collide into us and not know why!
{The kids now run off with them and get into a clear place, as they see the spider shoot at and destroy the city. They look up at the front of it, and briefly get a fleeting view of the man controlling it}
Gene: So that's the guy I was named after, eh? He looks scarier than I thought.
Leon: After seeing a face I like that, I'm glad my parents weren't here to see this!
BB: So shall we followed my parents or Gene?
Cinnamon: How about that Morre guy?
Toadster: Why should we follow him?
Cinnamon: Hey, we already could guess what's going to happen. We may as well see what's going on with that Morre guy.
Kelly: Not that we want to.
(Soon the kids went to find Morre. Now we see the giant spider causing even more damage. It is destroying buildings, stomping on many more of them, and many people are running away, in pain, lying down, or all of the above. It is truly an apocalyptic scene. Gene looks at the panic in satisfaction}
Gene: Heh heh, everything's going perfectly, the entire city is in panic. Now I believe it is time to increase the panic by playing a song very overused and scary to complement the destruction and add to the insanity.
{He puts a cassette tape into the console and stops the spider. Now we hear what the song is: it's "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. Once the public hears it beginning, they go even more crazier and run even faster. However it's no good, as the song plays the spider shoots more laser bolts at the ground hurting more people[don't worry we don't see any deaths or injuries so I'm not that violent]It then shoots at a few more buildings. Then a laser gun turns to an entire area of building and it writes down on them "G.B Was Here" We now see the spider is nearing the White House. It then shoots an overhead laser and it lands at the water near the Washington Monument, creating a huge wave which lands all over. Gene then stops the song and turns to the White House. The spider walks closer to it}
{Cut inside the Oval Office, as Bill and Hilary Clinton are packing suitcases}
Bill: Hey Hilary, what do you think I should take with me, my saxophone or my collection of rubber duckies?
Hilary: For gosh sakes Bill, that giant thing is headed this way, we have little time to escape, and all you can think about is whether to take your saxophone or duckies with you?
Bill: Hey, there's only enough time to take one of these, and you know I find these duckies cute, but you also know how much I love my sax.
Hilary: You won't be alive to play it again if we don't get out of here!{We now see the head of the spider stare right behind them through the window, Gene is staring too through the window of his console. The Clintons finally turn around and see this, and then the mouth of the spider opens and a metal bar comes through the window leaving a huge hole, missing the Clintons and stopping near the wall. After about a second, Gene comes into the room walking on the bar and hops onto the floor}
Gene: Well well, if it isn't the first lady and my favorite impeached president.
Bill: Hey I know you, you're the guy that ran the 24 hour marathon a while back.
Gene: Yes, but now I've set my sights to bigger and better ways to get my revenge.
Bill: And do they include terrorizing Washington and killing innocent people?!
Gene: Ah, you noticed.{Grabs Bill}I have a good excuse for this, but before you find that out we're going to do one of two things.{Pulls out a piece of paper}One, you sign this contract handing over the entire country to me, or two, I use the spider to blow your eyes out.
Bill: No, I don't wanna be killed by a giant metal spider!!
Gene: So you'll give me the United States then?
Bill: Yes...I mean no! I can't hand over this nation to a madman like you.
Gene: Okay, I'll just have to kill you then.
Bill: No, don't kill me, I'll do whatever you say, just don't kill me!
Gene: Then sign here, please.
Bill: No, this is a proud country, I won't let you ruin that! But then you'd kill me, and I don't want that, but then I have to give you the country, but...
Gene: Enough! I'm pressed for time, so if you won't decide{a gun comes out of the spider's head and it points to Bill}I'll have to do it for you.
Bill: Okay, okay you win, I'll sign the paper!{He looks at it for a second}But...
Gene: What do you mean but?
Bill: Well, before I can sign these things making them official, I have to have it approved by the Senate and Congress. You'll need to get them to approve it before I can sign.
Gene: I knew that. This changes nothing, just get all your Senators and Congressmen here and they'll all sign it, then you can sign too. And get them here in a hurry, I want this done at exactly 4:00, and I need TV cameras so we can air this all over the world. Go!
{A scared Bill runs off to do so. Cut back to the city as the Histerians are hiding behind a building, watching many people evacuate their homes. One family nearby them leaves their home, then they run inside the house and close the door, along with the window drapes}
Toast: Um, could you guys tell me why we're breaking in a home, I thought we were trying to get out of this city.
Harry: We can't, at least not yet. I'm still surprised we're not dead, I mean he knew we were in the hotel, he tricked us there himself, so why not get it over with? Whatever the answer is, it can't be good, and whatever's he's planning...we may be the only ones who can stop it.
Aka: Us? Oh no, haven't we had enough of this already? Besides, once President Clinton sees what going on, he'll send the military in after him and they'll stop him.
Harry: Aren't you giving our beloved President a bit too much credit?
Aka: Well he certainly wouldn't want to end his Presidency on an even lower note than his overhyped scandal. He'll find some way to kick that spider's metallic butt instead of giving in to whatever Gene wants.{Harry turns on a TV nearby and on it, Gene is with Bill Clinton and many assorted Senators and Congressmen, who are signing a piece of paper}Of course, I could be wrong.
Bladder:{V.O}Hello to those who have just tuned in, in case you haven't already heard, what you are seeing is a dark moment in history. Senators and Congressmen are signing a piece of paper that once they and the President sign, will make Gene Burrows...oh, the words are hot in my throat....ruler of the United States!{Everyone gasps in horror}
Miss Info: Gene Burrows, ruler of the United States, what could be worse?
Pepper: If movies have taught me anything, it's that we'll soon find out.
{Inside the Oval Office, a Senator signs the paper. Gene looks on in glee}
Gene: There, all the Senators and Congressmen have signed the paper. Now Mr. soon to be no longer President, it is your turn. Come on, time is money, and if you don't sign, you won't have much money left.
Bill: All right.{He signs the paper}
Gene: Hold it. To make it official, you need to put a period next to your name.{Checks his watch}Put it on right about....now!
{He does and a grandfather clock immediately chimes 4 times, it is now 4:00. Cut back to the gang watching the TV}
Bladder:{V.O}Well, now it's official, gulp, it's time for us to hail our new leader, Dr Gene Burrows.
Gene:{To the former President and officials}All right gentlemen, I am now your leader. The first thing I order is for you all to leave now. I don't want anyone around to question me when I am about to make my first address as ruler.
{They leave in a big hurry}
Gene: All right. Ladies and gentlemen of the country, don't be sarcastic when I say that if I disturbed you or hurt you in anyway, I am sorry. I have only one excuse for my actions, but I also have a promise. I do not intend to keep my new position as dictator of the nation, and I would very much like by the time this is over to give the job up and return Washington to normal. But, if I am to do that, you all first must do something for me.
Father Time: Uh oh. Miss Info, I think your earlier question is about to be answered.
Gene: As you all know, I am the man who earlier aired the infamous 24 hour marathon in an attempt to kill it's two "stars" Loud Kiddington and Miss Information. And I must make it clear that I still want to do so. But I also want you to finally realize what good it would do, that's why I did this. Like before, their annoyance brought about horrible consequences, it drove me to air the marathon, and they caused you all to go crazy from it. Now, they have drove me to terrorize our nation's capital and take over the country. So, what I want is the same thing I asked for last time, I want you all to kill them.
Harry: Nostalgic, isn't he?
Sammy: And completely sick and repetitive, he tried this before, why would it work now?
Gene: I have come here to make you all a deal. I want to form an army, an army of citizens, formed by the residents of Washington D.C. And it has one purpose, to find Loud and Miss Info, as well as someone else that stopped me previously, Dr Harry Norman. Here's a picture.{He pulls out a picture of Harry}Because he helped them, he is a target, and he must be killed too. What I want is for this army to find those three, capture them, bring them to the White House, and then I will kill them. If that is accomplished, I will turn back control of the country back to Clinton and company, and leave peacefully. You'll never be bothered by me again and I will do no more damage, I will turn everything back to normal in an instant if you do that. But, if you don't, I will keep my job...and I will turn the country into a communist society, as well as singlehandedly turn the country into the living embodiment of our darkest nightmares, people enslaved, cities ravaged, everyone suffering, you get the idea.
W.O.W: Well Sammy, that answers your question as well.
Sammy: If I wasn't so shocked and terrified about what is going to happen now, I'd respond.
Loud: That makes two of us.
Gene: And one more thing. Fittingly...you have only 24 hours to capture them. If they are not found, captured, and brought to me and killed by 4 PM tomorrow, the United States becomes a living Hades. Now, I want the army that will prevent this to be formed quickly, so here's another offer. Anyone in this city who wants to be part of the army must head to the front of the Capital Building in 20 minutes, where I will put it together and prepare it for it's task. If anyone who wants to join gets here after 4:20, tough break, you can't.
(Back in the present, Smartypants is pleased on how the simulation is doing.)
Mr. Smartypants: So far, so good! The kids will have what they need for their assignment! And best of all, nothing went wrong! Nothing... (Suddenly he stops as some of the machines went haywire) Even stuff that avoids actual time travel has to go wrong?! Yeah, that's fair.
{Inside the machine, we fade inside another hotel room in the Tartargate where someone is watching Gene's speech on TV}
Gene: So, anyone who wants to help save the country, come to the Capital Building in 20...make that 19 minutes. Until then, fare thee well.{Gene's image goes off the TV. Now we see who the person is; it's Mr. Morre again. Unknown to him, the Histerians' kids are watching him}
Morre: Hmm, an army that's purpose is find and kill Loud and Miss Info.{Laughs}Now that's a cause I want to be part of.
Cinnamon: Geez, some ugly creep needs a... (suddenly a flash appears) Huh?
Gene Berry: What just happened?
(Then they see Morre actually turn to look at them}
Morre: Who the devil are you people?{The kids look stunned as he advances on them}
Toadster: Hoo boy. How did I know this would happened?
Gene: So that's the guy I was named after, eh? He looks scarier than I thought.
Leon: After seeing a face I like that, I'm glad my parents weren't here to see this!
BB: So shall we followed my parents or Gene?

And I must make it clear that I still want to do so. But I also want you to finally realize what good it would do, that's why I did this. Like before, their annoyance brought about horrible consequences, it drove me to air the marathon, and they caused you all to go crazy from it. Now, they have drove me to terrorize our nation's capital and take over the country. So, what I want is the same thing I asked for last time, I want you all to kill them.
Harry: Nostalgic, isn't he?
Sammy: And completely sick and repetitive, he tried this before, why would it work now?
Gene: I have come here to make you all a deal. I want to form an army, an army of citizens, formed by the residents of Washington D.C. And it has one purpose, to find Loud and Miss Info, as well as someone else that stopped me previously, Dr Harry Norman. Here's a picture.{He pulls out a picture of Harry}Because he helped them, he is a target, and he must be killed too. What I want is for this army to find those three, capture them, bring them to the White House, and then I will kill them. If that is accomplished, I will turn back control of the country back to Clinton and company, and leave peacefully. You'll never be bothered by me again and I will do no more damage, I will turn everything back to normal in an instant if you do that. But, if you don't, I will keep my job...and I will turn the country into a communist society, as well as singlehandedly turn the country into the living embodiment of our darkest nightmares, people enslaved, cities ravaged, everyone suffering, you get the idea.
W.O.W: Well Sammy, that answers your question as well.
Sammy: If I wasn't so shocked and terrified about what is going to happen now, I'd respond.
Loud: That makes two of us.
Gene: And one more thing. Fittingly...you have only 24 hours to capture them. If they are not found, captured, and brought to me and killed by 4 PM tomorrow, the United States becomes a living Hades. Now, I want the army that will prevent this to be formed quickly, so here's another offer. Anyone in this city who wants to be part of the army must head to the front of the Capital Building in 20 minutes, where I will put it together and prepare it for it's task. If anyone who wants to join gets here after 4:20, tough break, you can't.
(Back in the present, Smartypants is pleased on how the simulation is doing.)
Mr. Smartypants: So far, so good! The kids will have what they need for their assignment! And best of all, nothing went wrong! Nothing... (Suddenly he stops as some of the machines went haywire) Even stuff that avoids actual time travel has to go wrong?! Yeah, that's fair.
{Inside the machine, we fade inside another hotel room in the Tartargate where someone is watching Gene's speech on TV}
Gene: So, anyone who wants to help save the country, come to the Capital Building in 20...make that 19 minutes. Until then, fare thee well.{Gene's image goes off the TV. Now we see who the person is; it's Mr. Morre again. Unknown to him, the Histerians' kids are watching him}
Morre: Hmm, an army that's purpose is find and kill Loud and Miss Info.{Laughs}Now that's a cause I want to be part of.
Cinnamon: Geez, some ugly creep needs a... (suddenly a flash appears) Huh?
Gene Berry: What just happened?
(Then they see Morre actually turn to look at them}
Morre: Who the devil are you people?{The kids look stunned as he advances on them}
Toadster: Hoo boy. How did I know this would happened?
Gene: So that's the guy I was named after, eh? He looks scarier than I thought.
Leon: After seeing a face I like that, I'm glad my parents weren't here to see this!
BB: So shall we followed my parents or Gene?
Cinnamon: How about that Morre guy?
Toadster: Why should we follow him?
Cinnamon: Hey, we already could guess what's going to happen. We may as well see what's going on with that Morre guy.
Kelly: Not that we want to.
(Soon the kids went to find Morre. Now we see the giant spider causing even more damage. It is destroying buildings, stomping on many more of them, and many people are running away, in pain, lying down, or all of the above. It is truly an apocalyptic scene. Gene looks at the panic in satisfaction}
Gene: Heh heh, everything's going perfectly, the entire city is in panic. Now I believe it is time to increase the panic by playing a song very overused and scary to complement the destruction and add to the insanity.
{He puts a cassette tape into the console and stops the spider. Now we hear what the song is: it's "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. Once the public hears it beginning, they go even more crazier and run even faster. However it's no good, as the song plays the spider shoots more laser bolts at the ground hurting more people[don't worry we don't see any deaths or injuries so I'm not that violent]It then shoots at a few more buildings. Then a laser gun turns to an entire area of building and it writes down on them "G.B Was Here" We now see the spider is nearing the White House. It then shoots an overhead laser and it lands at the water near the Washington Monument, creating a huge wave which lands all over. Gene then stops the song and turns to the White House. The spider walks closer to it}
{Cut inside the Oval Office, as Bill and Hilary Clinton are packing suitcases}
Bill: Hey Hilary, what do you think I should take with me, my saxophone or my collection of rubber duckies?
Hilary: For gosh sakes Bill, that giant thing is headed this way, we have little time to escape, and all you can think about is whether to take your saxophone or duckies with you?
Bill: Hey, there's only enough time to take one of these, and you know I find these duckies cute, but you also know how much I love my sax.
Hilary: You won't be alive to play it again if we don't get out of here!{We now see the head of the spider stare right behind them through the window, Gene is staring too through the window of his console. The Clintons finally turn around and see this, and then the mouth of the spider opens and a metal bar comes through the window leaving a huge hole, missing the Clintons and stopping near the wall. After about a second, Gene comes into the room walking on the bar and hops onto the floor}
Gene: Well well, if it isn't the first lady and my favorite impeached president.
Bill: Hey I know you, you're the guy that ran the 24 hour marathon a while back.
Gene: Yes, but now I've set my sights to bigger and better ways to get my revenge.
Bill: And do they include terrorizing Washington and killing innocent people?!
Gene: Ah, you noticed.{Grabs Bill}I have a good excuse for this, but before you find that out we're going to do one of two things.{Pulls out a piece of paper}One, you sign this contract handing over the entire country to me, or two, I use the spider to blow your eyes out.
Bill: No, I don't wanna be killed by a giant metal spider!!
Gene: So you'll give me the United States then?
Bill: Yes...I mean no! I can't hand over this nation to a madman like you.
Gene: Okay, I'll just have to kill you then.
Bill: No, don't kill me, I'll do whatever you say, just don't kill me!
Gene: Then sign here, please.
Bill: No, this is a proud country, I won't let you ruin that! But then you'd kill me, and I don't want that, but then I have to give you the country, but...
Gene: Enough! I'm pressed for time, so if you won't decide{a gun comes out of the spider's head and it points to Bill}I'll have to do it for you.
Bill: Okay, okay you win, I'll sign the paper!{He looks at it for a second}But...
Gene: What do you mean but?
Bill: Well, before I can sign these things making them official, I have to have it approved by the Senate and Congress. You'll need to get them to approve it before I can sign.
Gene: I knew that. This changes nothing, just get all your Senators and Congressmen here and they'll all sign it, then you can sign too. And get them here in a hurry, I want this done at exactly 4:00, and I need TV cameras so we can air this all over the world. Go!
{A scared Bill runs off to do so. Cut back to the city as the Histerians are hiding behind a building, watching many people evacuate their homes. One family nearby them leaves their home, then they run inside the house and close the door, along with the window drapes}
Toast: Um, could you guys tell me why we're breaking in a home, I thought we were trying to get out of this city.
Harry: We can't, at least not yet. I'm still surprised we're not dead, I mean he knew we were in the hotel, he tricked us there himself, so why not get it over with? Whatever the answer is, it can't be good, and whatever's he's planning...we may be the only ones who can stop it.
Aka: Us? Oh no, haven't we had enough of this already? Besides, once President Clinton sees what going on, he'll send the military in after him and they'll stop him.
Harry: Aren't you giving our beloved President a bit too much credit?
Aka: Well he certainly wouldn't want to end his Presidency on an even lower note than his overhyped scandal. He'll find some way to kick that spider's metallic butt instead of giving in to whatever Gene wants.{Harry turns on a TV nearby and on it, Gene is with Bill Clinton and many assorted Senators and Congressmen, who are signing a piece of paper}Of course, I could be wrong.
Bladder:{V.O}Hello to those who have just tuned in, in case you haven't already heard, what you are seeing is a dark moment in history. Senators and Congressmen are signing a piece of paper that once they and the President sign, will make Gene Burrows...oh, the words are hot in my throat....ruler of the United States!{Everyone gasps in horror}
Miss Info: Gene Burrows, ruler of the United States, what could be worse?
Pepper: If movies have taught me anything, it's that we'll soon find out.
{Inside the Oval Office, a Senator signs the paper. Gene looks on in glee}
Gene: There, all the Senators and Congressmen have signed the paper. Now Mr. soon to be no longer President, it is your turn. Come on, time is money, and if you don't sign, you won't have much money left.
Bill: All right.{He signs the paper}
Gene: Hold it. To make it official, you need to put a period next to your name.{Checks his watch}Put it on right about....now!
{He does and a grandfather clock immediately chimes 4 times, it is now 4:00. Cut back to the gang watching the TV}
Bladder:{V.O}Well, now it's official, gulp, it's time for us to hail our new leader, Dr Gene Burrows.
Gene:{To the former President and officials}All right gentlemen, I am now your leader. The first thing I order is for you all to leave now. I don't want anyone around to question me when I am about to make my first address as ruler.
{They leave in a big hurry}
Gene: All right. Ladies and gentlemen of the country, don't be sarcastic when I say that if I disturbed you or hurt you in anyway, I am sorry. I have only one excuse for my actions, but I also have a promise. I do not intend to keep my new position as dictator of the nation, and I would very much like by the time this is over to give the job up and return Washington to normal. But, if I am to do that, you all first must do something for me.
Father Time: Uh oh. Miss Info, I think your earlier question is about to be answered.
Gene: As you all know, I am the man who earlier aired the infamous 24 hour marathon in an attempt to kill it's two "stars" Loud Kiddington and Miss Information. And I must make it clear that I still want to do so. But I also want you to finally realize what good it would do, that's why I did this.

Harry: Nostalgic, isn't he?
Sammy: And completely sick and repetitive, he tried this before, why would it work now?
Gene: I have come here to make you all a deal. I want to form an army, an army of citizens, formed by the residents of Washington D.C. And it has one purpose, to find Loud and Miss Info, as well as someone else that stopped me previously, Dr Harry Norman. Here's a picture.{He pulls out a picture of Harry}Because he helped them, he is a target, and he must be killed too. What I want is for this army to find those three, capture them, bring them to the White House, and then I will kill them.

Morre: Hmm, an army that's purpose is find and kill Loud and Miss Info.{Laughs}Now that's a cause I want to be part of.
Cinnamon: Geez, some ugly creep needs a... (suddenly a flash appears) Huh?
Gene Berry: What just happened?
(Then they see Morre actually turn to look at them}
Morre: Who the devil are you people?{The kids look stunned as he advances on them}
Toadster: Hoo boy. How did I know this would happened?
Morre:{Looks at the kids}Children still in the building, even after the takeover of the country....no parents nearby....too devoid of ticks to be orphans....it's far too suspicious.
BB: Um, well, uh.....{Mutters}Why is he even talking to me, he's fake here....
Morre: Just so I know, what side are you on? Are you for those Histeria people because youngsters like you are the only ones insane enough to laugh at them, or with the side of freedom?
Kelly: Freedom?! This man almost destroyed the country and he would have succeeded if-{Stops herself}Wait, does it alter stuff if I go on?
Morre: I'm not hearing a pledge of allegence....
{As the kids try to figure out what to do, Morre looks at a clock}
Morre: Darnit, I need to hurry up if I'm going to join the army!{Pause}I don't want to see you people anywhere near the victory to come, so leave while you can.{Looks curiously at them for a while longer, then leaves}
Toadster:{Pause}What explains what just happened?
Cinnamon: He saw us and talked to us and threatened us...that never happened back then!
Gene: Something went wrong....the simulation can interact with us now.
Kelly: Does that mean we can get killed here?! Cause this is recreating a day where death was quite common!
Gene: If he can talk to us, I imagine he could have killed us too....if we see him again, he'll probably try and think we're working with our parents.
Leon: I don't want to get killed by a simulation just for a report! We should go now!
BB: I don't know how we would....I don't think we brought anything that can connect with Smartypants. Besides, he's smart, he can think of a way to fix this soon enough, I imagine. Until then....I guess we just stick around and wait for that.
Cinnamon: We can just stay here till then, right?
BB: I can't recall if this place was destroyed later in the day, and we might be here a while...we should probably walk around, just in case.
Kelly: Are we gonna try to avoid the war, or follow it like we planned, even though it could actually hurt us?
BB:{Pause}We're just gonna have to wait and see what happens.{He goes off}
Gene: I see....that's ambigious enough for us to be concerned.
(Back in reality, Smartypants frantically tried to get things back under control to no prevail. Miss Info came in.)
Miss Information: Ronald? What's wrong?
Mr. Smartypants: This! The simulation thing has some short circuits! Everything that shoulda gone wrong did.
Miss Information: Where are the kids???
Mr. Smartypants: They're inside. Hoo boy. This is terrible. The simulation will become real to them. They will be in major danger.
Miss Information: We got to do something!
Mr. Smartypants: I will have to fix this thing from the outside. For the kids, they have to find the fail safe device I have in there. If they could activated it, the simulation will ended instantly.
Miss Information: Where is it?
Mr. Smartypants: I don't know! And even if I did, the megaphone is short-circuited. Until I get this fixed, they are on their alone.
(We returned to the simulation as the kids walked near the wrecked area)
Leon: Geez, my parents weren't kidding when they say Gene Burrows did a big number.
Cinnamon: We gotta get outta here.
BB: Look, we know Smartypants made this thing and the people here are nothing but fake simulations, right? If we could find the fake Smarty and explain it to him, he made have an answer.
Toadster: In the meantime, we better be prepared for in case we run into Gene and his army.
Kelly: Oh yes. Vincent Morre, Nathan, Muldoon, and some more people. That is nice to know.
Gene Berry: (pause) Well, since no one is here...let's loot!
Kelly: Gene, we can't do that. We are citizens of the U.S. and while this made be a simulation, we still can't go low as to...
(She was interrupted as Toadster grabs a rock and throws it at a window, breaking it. They are allowed entry into a shop full with supplies. As the others watched, he climbed in.)
Toadster: (looking out) You guys coming or what?
BB: Well, he has the right idea for once.
Kelly: (groaning) Oh geez.
(She and the other kids went into the store. Later, they got out with supplies and stuff they could used as weapons.)
Leon: Well, we are better equipped. Now what?
BB: Now we find Uncle Smarty.
Cinnamon: But where can we find him?
BB: Hmmm...(looks at clock) well, according to this watch...I think I know where to find him and hopefully we can get to Muldoon's house and greet everyone there.
{Cut to the night time as Gene's army is walking through the city}
Nathan: Well, this has been a waste so far.
Morre: I know, I know, but maybe that's because some of us aren't looking at all the houses to make those goggles work!
Stacy: So you're saying they're at a house we forgot to check?
Morre: I don't know! And if we want to know we'd better keep looking!{Pan to behind a nearby building, as we see Smartypants looking at them. He's wearing goggles too}
Smartypants: Ooh, that copycat, I knew leaving that prototype duplicator would be bad! I've got to find them before they do.
{He runs away to do so. Unfortunately while Morre is talking, a soldier briefly looks to the left and sees Smartypants high top shoe for a brief second}
Officer: Sir, sir! I think we've got something, follow me.
Morre: I give the orders here, Soldier Muldoon, but show us anyway.{They follow Muldoon to the back of the building Smartypants was behind, and they all see him running}
Nathan: Is that what you wanted us to see, a guy in large pants running?{Realizes}Wait a minute, large pants?
Morre:{Gasps}It's Mr. Smartypants, Gene's benefactor! Heh, officers, I don't think there's anymore need to worry. We just follow him, and when he finds them, we find them.
{Cut to Muldoon's house, as the future kids are nearby}
BB: We're here....and before Smartypants.
Leon: But is it gonna tamper anything if we talk to him before he sees our parents? Maybe this isn't the past and time won't be altered, but it'd still be icky if our fake past parents got shot.
Toadster: I don't think we could write a report about talking to them here and still be considered sane by the teacher.
BB: We'll work that out later. Look, the actual war is gonna start any minute. Our parents barely beat them, so it'll be equally hard for us without some help. That'll keep us alive until we find a way out of here.
Smartypants:{V.O}I'd have thought people would be leaving here already.
{The kids turn and see the Smartypants from the year 2000 there}
Smartypants: Get out of here kids, this isn't safe for people twice your age.
BB: We can't leave, not without your help.
Smartypants: Your parents should have already gotten you somewhere safe. where are they?
Kelly: You're heading to meet them right now.
Smartypants: No I'm not, I'm going to see....wait a minute, have you been forced to work for Gene? I knew he'd take precautions if I survived, he's using you to get to me, so he can get to them!
Cinnamon: Oh, how are we gonna explain it to him, the attack's gonna start any minute!
Smartypants: So you admit there is an attack coming!
BB: Yes, but we already know it ends well for you, we know everything! Please, I'm sure we could explain in at least two minutes about how the Histerians are our parents, we're from the future, this is just a simulation of what happened in 2000, and you're not real!
Smartypants:{Pause}Okay, that's a unique enough story for me to listen further.
{Cut to around midnight, as the kids are waiting near Muldoon's house}
Gene: Remind me again why we've been waiting here for hours? Your parents stopped at another house first and had a big battle with the army, this is their second stop. Why didn't we go there?
Toadster: We're here to find past simulation Smartypants and explain it to him, he'll understand this a lot quicker than our parents. In the first battle, he got to the house right before it started, we couldn't have gone to him then. They're gonna get here soon and we'll have some time to get him out here and explain everything.
Leon: But is it gonna tamper anything if we talk to him? Is that gonna make it more likely that Gene's gonna kill them? Maybe this isn't the past and time won't be altered, but it'd still be icky if our fake past parents got shot.
Toadster: I don't think we could write a report about talking to them here and still be considered sane by the teacher.
BB: We'll work that out later. Look, the actual war has already started. Our parents barely beat them, so it'll be equally hard for us without some help. That'll keep us alive until we find a way out of here.
{The kids turn and see their younger parents and Histerians coming}
Kelly: That's them, all right...
{Cut to the Histerians inside the house}
Froggo: Well since we can't think of anything to bring up right now, I'll bring up something. Haven't we seen this guy before?{He points to a picture, it's of Muldoon}
Pepper: Yeah, that was the guy who originally had the gun Loud used. I guess this means he lives here.
Sammy: Good, I don't think the army would ever suspect we're hiding at the house of one of it's members.
Lucky Bob: Absolutely!
Toast: Hey, that means we can relax for a while until we figure out our next move.
Smartypants: Well, maybe there is something I can find that I can rework to our advantage, it'll give me a good chance to make inventions that won't later on be used by villains, I have all of my inventing tools.
Father Time: Well I guess that's our next move, lets find something and then we can get some rest.
Lucky Bob: Yes now, we're gonna invent stuff now.
{Smartypants walks into another room- and there he sees the future children}
Smartypants: Get out of here kids, this isn't safe for people twice your age.
BB: We can't leave, not without your help.
Smartypants: Your parents should have already gotten you somewhere safe, and this probably isn't their house. Where are they?
Kelly: You're with them right now.
Smartypants: No I'm not.....wait a minute, have you been forced to work for Gene? Is he using kids to get to me, so he can get to them!
Cinnamon: Oh, how are we gonna explain it to him, the attack's gonna start any minute!
Smartypants: So you admit there is an attack coming, they know where we are!
BB: They will soon, but we already know it ends well for you, we know everything! Please, I'm sure we could explain in at least two minutes about how the Histerians are our parents, we're from the future, this is just a simulation of what happened in 2000, and you're not real! That's how we know you just came from a big battle. The army used a recording of my dad Loud's voice to get them out, you outran a helicopter, you used guns that can suck up things, and Dad hit Morre before he hurt my mom Charity! But again, you guys are just copies recreating everything that happened!
Smartypants:{Pause}Okay, that's a unique enough story for me to listen further.
BB: Okay, I know this is going to sound weird but...like I said before, we're from the future.
Mr. Smartypants: Okay and you said this is a simulation, not the real thing?
Toadster: It's only a simulation of what happened years ago in the year 2000. Your future self, well it's more like the present Smarty but you get the idea, let us use a simulation so we can study the events of the Washington D.C. incident for school.
Leon: Something went wrong because you and everyone else aren't supposed to see us. We are in big danger and since you made the thing, we were helping you would help us.
Kelly: We thought of time travelling but you advised against that.
Mr. Smartypants: Thank goodness I was smart enough not to do that. Well, if what you kids said is true, then the only real ones here are you six.
Gene: That's right.
Mr. Smartypants: Then in order to escape this simulation, you have to find the fail safe device my real self made.
Cinnamon: So where it is?
Mr. Smartypants: Hey, I'm only a simulation. What do I know about this thing?
BB: So what now?
Mr. Smartypants: First off, your names?
BB: My name is BB Kiddington. The other kids are my girlfriend Smiling Kelly, Cinnamon, Toadster, Leon Houser, and Gene Berry.
Mr. Smartypants: Well, I can guess which of our fellow Histerians you're children of.
Leon: And I am still miffed that my parents weren't here!
Mr. Smartypants: I guess they didn't get invited.
Leon: (mumbling) Stupid ugly Gene.
Aka: (V.O.) Yo Smarty? Who are you talking to in there? The voices are so low, we can't hear a thing!
Toadster: Mom...
Mr. Smartypants: Okay, look, I am going to introduce you kids to the others.
Gene Berry: But we already know them.
BB: But they don't know us...at least not yet. I think we should meet them. I mean, what boy hasn't dream of meeting his dad when he was his age?
Kelly: I see what you mean.
Leon: You guys are lucky.
Cinnamon: Please Leon, not now.
(The group gets ready to leave the room. BB pauses for a moment.)
Kelly: BB? What's wrong?
BB: I guess I'm...kinda nervous. To see my dad and mom when they were my ages...I don't know, it's like having him for a best friend...or will have him as a best friend.
Cinnamon: That reminds me of that movie with the Robinsons!
Mr. Smartypants: What?
Cinnamon: Never mind.
(The group enters the next room where the others are)
Father Time: Smartypants, how was...(sees the kids) hey, who are these kids?
Mr. Smartypants: I found them in the next room. They were here when we did.
Sammy: Huh? Okay, you six! Who are you and why are you here?! Don't you know Gene Burrows has send an army after us and you could be endangered of being near us?!
Leon: (mumble) Geez, dad was right. This guy was a total doofus back then.
Sammy: Who are you?!
Aka: Come down, Sammy! They are kids like us!
Toadster: Yep! Except one of us isn't a kid original.
Gene Berry: Toadster!
Lucky Bob: Huh now?
Fetcho: You kids looked familiar...though I haven't seen you before. Who are you?
(The future Histerians whispered to each other)
BB: Should we tell them now? We aren't really time travelling and our time won't be ruined when we get back.
Kelly: I don't know. How would I explain to my father and mother that you are their daughter? Of course, mom is easier to confused than dad.
Toadster: You guys have it either. Mom and dad adopted me. You guys are practically born from them.
Cinnamon: But they deal with the time thing on their show! Why don't we tell them?!
Leon: (shouting) Oh sure! Tell them that you are their kids while the fact is that my own parents are still nowhere around!!!!!!!
Others: Leon!
(Too late as the past Histerians looks surprised and confused)
Leon: Oops.
Cho-Cho: Wait. Hold on. Did you say 'their kids'? As in our kids?
Cinnamon: (pause) Okay, which one of you wants to tell them, especially the two main stars here? BTW, where are they?
Kelly: You mean Loud and Charity? And Harry and Miss Info are missing too. They must be having their...
Sammy: Okay, repeating my question from before: who are you kids?!
Loud:{Speaking at exactly the same time and tone as Charity}Charity, are you all right?
Charity:{Also speaking at the same time and tone}Loud, are you all right?{They both laugh}You first.
Loud: Okay, I'm here to ask if you're okay after almost having your head cut off, you must have been scared stiff. Your turn.
Charity: All right, I'm here to see if you're okay because all this is happening to you again, and to thank you formally for saving my life. And yes I'm fine.
Loud: Good, and to answer your question, it was no problem. Besides, there was no reason for me not to do it, because I know you would have done the same for me.
Charity:{Touched and a bit sad}Yes, yes I would have.{Loud smiles widely at her, and she smiles back. Meanwhile, Smartypants signals Harry and Miss Info to come to him, and they exit the room}
Smartypants: Harry, I trust you'll understand the gist of this shortly.
Harry: Of what?{The future kids come into view}What is this? Did we stumble into some kind of orphanage?
Smartypants: They are the children....of our friends in the future. We all survive the war with Gene and Morre, and go on to live for years to come, and the young ones marry and have these kids. Except that....we're simulations of the Histerians, and these kids are trapped in this illusion and can't get home. They could be hurt by the fake Gene and Morre if we don't do something.
Harry:{Pause}All of that makes enough sense to me....for that I thank my brain's ability to reason the unthinkable.
Miss Info: I don't get it...
Smartypants: I eventually got the others to figure it out, they can help you. We only have a little time before the Gene and Morre simulations get in here, so we should hurry this along.
Miss Info: But you just said everyone wins and Gene loses, so that means we're not in danger....or something.
Smartypants: The real Histerians won, but since this recreation has screwed up, we might still face the bad luck that they didn't. And we can't let these kids suffer before they can get home. So we fight the army as our real selves did, and protect these kids in the meantime.
Harry: Very well then. Even a fake Gene would still come after us, so there's no point letting up our guard.
Smartypants: They told me we're going to a priest after this, so we won't have a lot of time to talk until then. Before the attack, I figured I could let one of them get a look at his parents.{BB steps forward}
BB: I won't be able to say much....
Smartypants: Just make an intro for now, we'll fill in the rest later.
Miss Info: Which parents are we talking about?
Cinnamon: We'll clear it up for you while BB's busy.
Smartypants: Yes....you and I have a very interesting part in this, anyway.
{The adults and the kids go off to talk, leaving BB behind. He goes near the room, seeing Loud and Charity talking}
BB: Okay....you can do this. You got your friends into possible doom to do this, so do it already.{Pause}Where do I begin?
Charity:{Noticing BB}Oh....hello there. Are you hiding from the bad guys too?
Loud: I wouldn't put it past Gene to start using other kids as targets to lure us out.
BB:{Pause}He doesn't get that far.
Loud: No sense taking chances with him, so you'd better stay close to us. What's your name?
BB: BB....BB....{Suddenly, some commotion is heard outside}
Charity: What's that?{Loud goes and looks out a window}
{Outside, we see soldiers crawling on the ground below the windows, and others are stationed in front of the walls making sure to stay out of sight from said windows. Meanwhile inside the house...)
Aka: So you guys are kids from the future?
Toadster: Pretty much.
Froggo: Well, as far as you told us, we are simulations of the event that happened.
Kelly: In the words of dad, you are correct, sir.
Cho-Cho: (shocked) Wait, what? You mean you're...
Kelly: Yes. I am your daughter, mom.
(Cho-Cho and Lucky Bob looked at each other and blushed)
Pepper: Wow! I always wonder if those two are a couple or not. (to Cinnamon) And what about you?
Cinnamon: I'm your daughter, mom.
Pepper: (shocked) What?! Mine and who?!
Cinnamon: Daddy. Him. (points to Toast)
Toast: Whoa, me?
Pepper: (laughing madly as she hugs Toast) Yes, oh yes! I married Toast! I knew it would happened, I just knew it!
Toast: Gah! Pepper! Hugging! Too much!
Froggo: What about you two kids?
Leon: My parents are Pule Houser and Susanna Susquanna. Unfortunately, they aren't here! I blame that creep Gene.
Aka: Wow. Never thought of the day Pule ever get kids himself. (to Toadster) You look kinda like Froggo. Are you his kid?
Toadster: Actually I was adopted. You and dad adopted me. (nods to Froggo)
(Aka looks puzzled, then realized what dad he mean and blushed)
Aka: Whoa! You mean I...
Toadster: Yep. You got Froggy.
Aka: Wow!
Froggo: (blushing) I...I never thought...I mean...
Cho-Cho: (to Gene Berry) What about you, uh, Gene Berry, is it?
Gene Berry: I was adopted too. I was originally a robot, a metal verson of Loud Kiddington made by Gene's college partner Christopher Zarret. I wanted to be real though so long story short, I was turned into one and was adopted by Slim Berry and Natalie Morre.
Lucky Bob: Natalie Morre?
Gene Berry: Vincent Morre's daughter.
Toast: Dude, I wondered if that Morre dude knew his daughter is going to have you for a kid. And whose Slim Berry?
(Before Gene Berry could answered, Loud, Charity, and BB ran in)
BB: Bad news everyone! We got trouble!
Fetch:{Walking into view}Hey, what's going on?
Charity: Some old "friends" of ours found us.
Fetch: Perfect, I just woke up from that sedative and now they're back?!
Loud: Shh! I know this sounds silly coming from me, but we should be quiet. We should take our inventions and sneak out quietly so if they see us, we'll have a head start on them.
Sammy: It does sound silly, but we have no other choice, let's go.
BB: Won't work.
Sammy: And why not, future kid?
Charity: (puzzled) Future kid?
Toadster: They likely kept guard on that exit. They will get you before you could get too far.
Cho-Cho: So what are we going to do?
Gene Berry: Well, Gene Burrows doesn't know about us, right? We will have the element of surprise. We'd hide, you just act natural.
Froggo: You want us to get captured?
Leon: (pause) That's pretty much the idea.
Froggo: Hoo boy. I knew this was coming from Pule's kid.
Loud: Pule is a kid? But he's a kid himself!
Mr. Smartypants: I think we'd explain more later.
{Back outside, Gene is watching the army take their positions with Morre}
Morre: Be sure to stay out of sight and keep either away from the window if you're standing up, or stay on the ground below them. We want to surround the area good so they can't escape.
Gene: You should go ahead and guard the front door, I'll go to the back door and guard that, it's likely they'll leave from one of those places.
Morre: Where else can they go, we have them surrounded!{Laughs}
{Back inside, Smartypants is putting his tools and devices in his pants, then joins the others}
W.O.W: We'd better go from the back door, they have the front guarded certainly too well.
Father Time: They might have the back guarded well too, like the kids warned us, but we have to leave from one of those places.
Harry: And it's the back door for us, now let's go quietly.
{Meanwhile, BB and his friends goes upstairs and hid in the shadows. They get their weapons ready and waited. In the back yard, soldiers begin to surround the back of the house. Gene is the center of the action, as he crawls below the windows then gets up and goes in front of the back door. Inside, Loud is turning the key to said door, and Gene watches the doorknob begin to turn in anticipation. Loud slowly opens the door and prepares to go outside, but then he feels something in front of him. He sees that it's a leg- and then looks up to see it's owner: Gene}
Gene: Hello.{Loud screams and backs away at the sight of his nemesis}Get them!
{The soldiers quickly enter the house and surround the Histerians with no place to run, pointing their guns at them. Morre comes in}
Morre: Grab them so they don't get any bright ideas of running!{The soldiers quickly grab the Histerians, holding them with one hand and holding their gun at them with the other}
Nathan:{Holding Loud}I think we have all of them, sirs!
Muldoon:{Holding Charity}So, you people thought you could hide in an soldiers home and be safe, huh? Well no enemy hides in Robert J Muldoon's house and tells about it later!
Kelly: (whispering) Does that guy reminds you of someone?
Cinnamon: (whispering) Of course! That must be Shane Muldoon's dad! He looks uglier than his son though.
Gene Berry: Like father, like son.
Morre: Enough of your squabbling Robert, besides, this house will soon go down in history as the house where our targets were captured and killed and where the country was saved. But first, let's make this the place of a grand reunion. Gene, they're all yours.
{Gene walks into view, looking at his enemies captured, until he views the one who's capture fills him with glee the most: Loud. He walks over to him}
Gene: Heh heh, so we meet again, my shrill voiced foe. Didn't I tell you before I went to jail that I would return ? I can't tell you how much I've looked forward to us meeting again.
Gene Berry: (whispering) That must be what my dad's real self looked like. Can we strike now?
BB: (whispering) Wait for it...
Loud:{Bitter}THAT MAKES ONE OF US.
Gene: Tell me, how have things been since we last met?
Loud: They could be better IF WE EXCLUDED THE PART OF YOU RETURNING TO CAUSE US AND THE COUNTRY PAIN, YOU MURDEROUS MADMAN!!!
Gene: Ooh, I think someone's bitter. Take it from an expert, bitterness is a very powerful tool. And I see as I expected, you haven't learned anything from our last encounter.
Loud: I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU'VE GONE FROM INSANE TO COMPLETELY INSANE NOW!
Gene: See, that proves my point, you're still yelling. I'd have thought you'd have stopped all together, but I see I overestimated you.
Pepper: He has stopped, well he does still yell sometimes, but you should know he rarely yells now, he's just doing that at the sight of you showing up!
Gene: Takes one to know one, you autograph seeking infantile brat!
Cinnamon: (whispering angrily) Hey, he can't do that!
Kelly: (whispering) Stay put! Don't give us away just yet!
Pepper: Boy, he got me there.
Gene: Now, even if you have stopped yelling as often Loud, you still can't expect that to change what you've done.
Loud: WHAT I'VE DONE?! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY AND DID ALL THOSE EVIL THINGS!
Gene: How many times do we have to confront each other for you to realize I am not evil?! You caused me to be this way, you have to realize that. But, tell me, why is that? You keep on saying you're more than a voice, but you yelled so much that it's impossible to believe that, and why? What could have motivated you to yell so much that you caused so much pain to me, Vincent, Nathan, Muldoon, and the country and the world?! Why did you yell so much to do that?
Loud: I, I....I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.{Sad}I have no idea what drove me to yell so much, I can't think of any possible reason.
Gene: Exactly. That's why you have no excuse for ruining my life, or ruining any chance Vincent had of saving his, or causing so much agony during the marathon and in this situation, or putting the country in danger of being a horror show! You can't escape the past Loud, and you can't escape your deserved negative image. And you know it, don't you?
BB: (whispering) Geez, now I know why they stopped using sappy stuff now. They thrived on it.
{The future kids then jump out of their hiding place, completly taking the army by surprise. They snatch many of their guns away and throw them away}
BB: Time to pretend to alter history.
Gene: This is gibberish enough, what is going on?! Have you manipulated brainless children to do your bidding?!
Aka: You don't know the half of it....wait, if he knew, maybe that'd end this thing quicker.
BB: No it wouldn't, not with him!{To Gene}I know you too well, "Gene Burrows"
Gene: You don't know me at all....and what's with the quotes around my name?
BB: I know you were born in 1955. I know you were raised by James and Laraine Berry. I know of your brother William, your uncle Richie, and Dr Doorhider's experiment. I know you had a playful side that would have ruined your chance at being a real scientist....and I know how you ended up killing it. Tell me Slim....did it hurt?
Gene Berry: Ooh, ooh, let me try some mind game stuff now!{To Morre}I know you, Vincent Morre. Heh, that's a good start.
Morre: You confuse me greatly, who is this Slim the other one mentioned?
Gene Berry: I know of your two children, and I know your daughter better than you could ever imagine.
Muldoon: Children?
Sammy: Aw, I just got the past and future stuff down pat, now I'm confused again!
Gene:{Pause}Capture those two new brats, we'll torture them to find out how they....claim to know such things later! Kill the others!
Toadster: Bring it, we know every single trick you'll do and how to beat them with Smartypants's....{Pause}Wait, we took up enough of his time that he couldn't make his new inventions, didn't we?
BB: There's one thing we can do then. RUN!!!{The kids start to run and avoid the gunfire of the army, as Gene and Morre just stand there, still pondering}
Loud: Wait a minute, that sounded like...
BB: I know!{They get out of the house}Cover your ears big time, guys! Da- I mean, Loud! Yell with me!
{The Histerians cover their ears as BB starts screaming, just like Loud. This keeps the army from advancing. Loud, still puzzled, eventually decides to yell with him- and this combination makes the house itself start to crumble. The group now runs away as the army tries to block out the screamingm, but the house soon starts to collapse. Gene and Morre, Muldoon, and some of the army members get out, but the house then falls to pieces and collapses. By then, the army members outside are also in pain and distracted from the double screaming, and the Histerians can get away}
Muldoon: Dear God, even a real war never had that much of a weapon....two weapons!
Morre:{Pause}Gene...activate the spider. Use that to kill them, but leave those new children alive for us.
Gene: That's right....my name is Gene.
Morre: Gene?
Gene: Oh, yes....it shall be done.
{Cut to the Histerians running away}
Gene: Get into cars, quickly! The spider will be after us!
Froggo: The spider, already? How....oh right, knowledge of the future, forgot you had it for a sec.
{Smartypants tosses a separate lockpick to Sammy, Harry, Father Time, and W.O.W. They quickly use those picks to get in separate cars, Loud, BB, Kelly, Miss Info and Charity are in Harry's, Smartypants, Fetch, Gene, Leon, and Aka, are in Sammy's, Pepper, Froggo, Cinnamon, and Toast are in Father Time's, and Cho-Cho, Lucky Bob, Gene, and Toadster get in W.O.W's}
BB: Go to 80 or 90 miles per hour, get more distance on the spider!!{The cars drive fast, and it's then that the rumbles of the spider are now heard}
Kelly: Wait, they had to drive backwards to get to the reverend's church....but only after they drove a great distance in the first place.
Harry: If you remember exactly where we started to head backwards, we can drive there now!
Kelly: I know I looked up the map of this place during research for the report....{Points to a street}There, turn left there and you'll be on your way! Do it quick!
{Harry shrugs and turns the car left, and the other Histerians follow his lead and go with them. They are soon out of view, just as the spider appears and walks in the area, looking for the cars but not spotting them}
{Cut to Gene and Morre with the army}
Morre: We should have gotten close to them and have a chase scene, at least, but they're nowhere! It's almost like.....they knew where to go to get around us.
Gene: They claim to know a lot of things...{Pause}We shall put this behind us and regroup. I'll get the spider back near the White House. Vincent, come with me back to base and we'll rest. Most of you can come back too, but I still want a small group searching for them.
Tress: But sir, shouldn't all of us be resting, our eyes still hurt.
Morre: Okay, we just found the leader of the searching group!
{Back on the road, our heroes are still driving, much slower now that the spider is gone}
Harry: Oh boy, oh that was close.
Charity: I guess if those kids haven't told us where to turn, we woulda been gone by now.
Loud: Say how did you know anyway?
BB: Uh...lucky guess? There should be a church here.
Harry: What a coincidence. That is what I just found.
{Harry stops the car in front of a church. The other cars stop too after seeing him stop. They then get out}
Sammy: Why did you stop here?
Harry: This is a perfect hiding place, they'll never think to look for us at a church. And some army members just might be too God fearing to kill us in a place like this.
Leon: Or until they decided to after that fear and come here anyway.
Sammy: So you're saying coming here is bad idea?
Gene Berry: Not really.
Sammy: I'm going in anyway!
(Sammy went to the church and then open the surprising unlocked door. He then went in.)
Kelly: Hmmm...wait is there something we shoulda remember?
Lucky Bob: Something happened now?
WOW: Are we going to go inside or what?
Kelly: I just havw a feeling that someone is inside...
(Suddenly a sound of someone hitting someothing with a baseball bat is hear while we hear Sammy yelped.)
Aka: What the dilly-o?
BB: Oh yes! Now I remember. Karris!
Loud: Who?
(The whole gang went inside the church. Sure enough, they see a man in pajamas who has hit Sammy with a baseball while BFB is hiding behind some pews. It is Reverend Karris all right)
Karris: (sees the group) Oh, more thieves to come to help this one?
Harry: Thieves?! We're not thieves, we're just here to rest!
Karris: Hey, wait a minute, haven't I seen you on TV before?
Charity:{Sighs}Yes, we're the Histerians that the new ruler of the country, Gene Burrows, is trying to kill.
Sammy:{Dazed}Please don't report us to the army.
Cinnamon: Relax, Dammy. Reverned Karris won't.
Karris: What? Do I know you?
BB: No, but we know you. We know you give seermons at this church and is looking over notes for a special sermon concerning the fate of this country.
Miss Info: Wow. These kids are from the future.
Karris: How did you know?
Charity: Yes, how did you?
BB: I'd explained later, I promised.
Karris: Well, if you know me somehow, then you'd know this: in my opinion all of Dr Burrows's sayings about you are false. He's practically saying you are all evil incarnate, no person not in our Bible stories can be that evil, everyone has a good side. Besides, I know that Dr Burrows is planning to turn the nation into the Devil's playground if you aren't dead, and I think you want to do whatever you can to save us from this fate.
Harry: Why yes, we are. Even if we did survive to see 4 PM today, it's doubtful us, or anyone else would live to see any future days. We won't allow that.
Cho-Cho: So you're not going to tell on us?
Karris: No, you may be enemies of the state, but you're all creatures of God, I can't report you and let you go back to Heaven, what kind of reverend would I be if I did that?
BB: We knew you wouldn't.
Toadster: BB, a word with you.
(The future kids goes to a part of the room away from the others to talk)
Toadster: (whispering) Shouldn't we, I don't know, give Smarty time to work on those inventions now? By getting in the way earlier, we prevent him from doing that.
Leon: (whispering) But we know he will make some more when they go to his house later. Right after...
Kelly: (whispering) Maybe we should warned Karris about his fate. It may not happened in our reality, but we could prevent that here.
BB: (whispering) How are we going to tell a man of god he is destined to die saving the Histerians from evil?
Karris: (appearing) I will answer that.
Future kids: AHHH!
Cinnamon: Dude, don't freak us out like that!
Gene Berry: (nervously) How much did you happened to hear?
Karris: A lot. You are from the future, I supposed.
BB: Well, not the future as in time travelling. This whole thing is a simulation of what happened in the year 2000. We are the real ones here.
Karris: I see.
Kelly: And you should know that Gene and Morre will killed you later on for helping my parents, BB's parents, and the others to escape.
Karris: (pause) I know.
Leon: (surprised) What?
Kelly: You do?
Karris: I don't know how I know but I do. I have a feeling my fate has interwined with that of the Histerians including the ones who will be your presents...well, in simulation anyway. I suggest you don't do anything to change my fate.
Toadster: But you will die!
Karris: (sighs) Even so, if it helps keep creatures of the lord, even if this is a simulation, from getting killed by those of evil, then so be it. I know your intentions are noble, but please, don't try to keep me from getting killed. Keep yourselves and everyone safe until you return home, do you understand me?
BB: (nodding) Yeah. I guess so. (pause) Well, I guess time to see what my parents are up to. (He leaves)
{Cut to inside the church later on, as the kids are gathered around}
Gene: Yes, basically we can tell you everything about the future and it won't damage anything.
Toadster: Wait a minute, we're doing a report on what happened here. Is it cheating if we do a report about these guys, once they already know what to do?
Cinnamon: They don't have to worry, though, they know that no matter what, they win!
Aka: In real life, apperantly....but since this isn't real, and this whole simulation is messed up now, anything can happen. So, maybe it would help us to get extra hints.
Kelly: Well, we can tell Smartypants what kind of inventions are gonna help you guys later, and help him build them. We got some time before the next attack.
Smartypants: That would help out pretty well, I imagine.
Sammy: Heh, if you guys know so much about what happens, why did you need to create this reneactment to begin with? Sounds like you had enough good stuff for your report already.
Kelly: Guess all Sammy are too smart aleck for their own good. We knew all the info, we just wanted to get a...first hand approach.
Cho-Cho: I think we're learning more than you, though....daughter?
Kelly: God, that's so crazy to hear....I might be older than this you right now.
Cho-Cho: And....you're with the son of Loud and Charity? Wow, we had no idea they were even thinking of getting that together.
Gene: Only Harry, Miss Info, and Aka had an idea up to this point. They don't tell each other until several hours from now.
Cho-Cho: Unless you let them know of it before then. You'll probably have to, since they're the only ones that don't know what's going on.
Kelly: BB's watching them and Loud's asleep, he'll get to it after he.....uh oh. Um, you guys gotta be prepared for something else right now.
Leon: Oh right, this is the part where he has a nightmare and needs people to say great stuff about him!
{We cut to a couch, where BB is watching Loud sleep, and overhears this}
BB: We're up to that already?! Maybe I can wake him up before he has enough of the dream!{Shakes Loud a bit}Wake up, wake up Dad!
Charity:{Coming over}What are you doing that for? Is the army here already? Gee, you step out for a minute...
BB: No, I have to wake him up before the nightmare starts! Help me Mom, please!
Charity: Help you....huh? Okay, it was too chaotic to question what you new kids were doing here before, but now I think I got some time. Who are you and how come you're saying this stuff?!
{Just then, Loud wakes up}
BB: We're too late!{Loud ignores him and stares at himself in a nearby mirror}
Loud: Sigh, every time something good happens to me, Gene's always there to remind me how we got in this mess. I'm only 11 years old, and I still probably have the most tortured soul in the world.
Voice:{V.O, of course}Now why would you say that?{Karras walks into view}
Loud: Because Gene's right about everything he says about me, and every time I forget it, he's there to remind me. I am a big fat loudmouth as he says, and I really had no reason to be one. Now the biggest insult of all has hit home. Even when I'm trying to be good, I'm just putting my friends in danger because they're involved in something they shouldn't be. How can I possibly get on with life with all that's happened to me and because of me even if we do live?
Karras: Let me ask you something. Why are you even listening to him?
Loud: Because as I said, most of his remarks are true.
Karras: How is that possible? The real truth is, he doesn't really know you. All he knows is what he's seen on TV, and he is too fixated on that to try to see what else is there. Why are you listening to the insane rantings of an insane villain? I'll tell you whose opinions really matter, the people closest to you, that's whom.
Loud: What do you mean?
Karras: Listen, I'm defiantly not the wisest reverend in the city, but I know everyone has a kind side, even villains, buried beneath the evil. Gene had it, Vincent Morre has it, and you do, and the people that know you best know it. I too was curious to see if his remarks were all wrong, so I asked all your friends about you, and they've all said extremely nice things about you, all of them.
Loud: All of them?{His friends all come over}
Toadster: Okay, you guys remember what we talked about? Say this stuff exactly how we told you....though you would have thought it up yourself anyway.
Loud: Huh?
Toast: Yeah, you may have a nasty big mouth, but we haven't seen much of it lately, and even beyond that, you rock dude!{Pause}Did I say it right, future real kid dude?
Cinnamon: That was coolie enough!
Cho-Cho: Reverend Karras is right, we're the only ones that really know you, and we know you're flawed, but we also know you're an really nice person and that mores than overshadows anything bad you've done. Plus we know you'd never do anything to hurt us, at least not intentionally.{Pause}Wow, I memorized those words pretty quick.
Kelly: You still have that gift for a long time, Mom.
W.O.W: Yep, I've lived quite a long time, and it's a rare feat when I see a kid who's exactly like you are, and sadly there aren't enough of those.{Pause}You sure I got this smaltzy back then, or is this some kind prank?
BB: Thanks, guys. But I know what to really say to him.
Loud: You do?
BB: Your yelling is not your fault. I know it for a fact. I know you got it from abuse and it's a product of you never having a happy moment in your early childhood....until Tom Ruegger got you on Histeria. Gene hated you for your yelling, and it was never even your fault that you got that "talent" The people of Histeria took you in anyway, cared for you, and helped you live long enough.....to create me.
Gene:{Pause}Maybe a little background beforehand would have helped this go down easier.
BB: Well, this is the last real down time they'll have for the day! This is the best time to say that he's my father, Charity's my mother, I'm their son from the future, and I made someone create this simulation in the first place!
Loud: (confused) Wait, wait, wait. Did you say...I'm your father?
Charity: And...I'm your mother?
Kelly: That is correct.
BB: Okay, let me explain this more clearly: we are now in a simulation of what happened in the year 2000. I got Mr. Smartypnats, my Smartypants, to let us use his simulation machine so we could study the event for our report for school. Something went wrong and you guys could see us. So, this isn't time travelling so we aren't wrecking our time. (pause) Did I get that right, Kelly love?
Kelly: You got it.
Cho-Cho: Wait. What did he say? Is...is he dating my daughter???
Toadster: You got it.
(Charity looks at Loud and blushed a bit)
Charity: So if you're our son...does this mean?
Loud: (gulping) I am not sure if I should tell ya. Not now.
Leon: Aw, save it Mr. Kiddington. We know you loved her and she loves you. And before you respond, Gene will find out. But remember what we said and he won't get to ya. Besides I think if we bugged him out with our comment about his real name, this will go easier.
Karris: His real name?
BB: Gene Burrows used to be Slim Berry, until after his parents' fatal accident. He went through an experiment to get rid of his funny side then have his name changed. He got his name from the actor Gene Wilder and burrows because of his ability to dig up the obvious.
Loud: So the reason Gene hate me and Miss Info in the first place is because our show reminds us of the comedy side he work so hard to get rid of?
BB: You got it, dad.
Loud: Dad...that is one word I will need to get used to. (looking at Charity) But as for the Charity thing...
BB: We'd leave you two to think about this. Just make sure you came by later to help uncle Harry, aunt Miss Info, and uncle Smarty, okay?
Toast: Huh? But they aren't related to Loud and Charity.
Cinnamon: I'd explained on the way down here, dad.
(The group left, leaving Loud and Charity alone)
Charity: Well, I guess...
Loud: You first.
Charity: Yeah? Okay. I'm surprised that you are in love with me. Of course, after what happened it is inevitable.
Loud: Same here, only you with me. (pause) I supposed the reason you didn't want to tell me before because of how Gene himself will react, huh?
Charity: Yes...
Loud: I still find it hard to believe I have a son already. Of course, since that's the case, we will both lived long enough to have BB. (pause) Though what kind of name is BB anyway?
Charity: Who knows? Probably from a fan boy who likes me, I guess. (pause) So...shall we tell each other now? Or what?
Loud: I think there may be a reason BB want us to admit now. He gave a hint to it.
Charity: What?
Loud: There's a chance Gene will find out later, someone may spy on the both of us. That same person will tell Gene and you would be made his newest target. Admitting now may save us the pain later.
Charity: Yeah, it should. But it may changed things that didn't happened in real life. This is a simulation as our son pointed out.
Loud: We may not changed what will happened in real life, but in simulation, we can make things better. (pause) Well, shall I begin, or do you want to?
Charity: Perhaps you should. It will come from you better.
Loud: All right.{Takes a very deep breath}Charity, let me first say that I couldn't be more happy or more thankful for what you've done to help me if I tried. It's been an honor to be with you these last few months, and as far as I know there's only one person I've met that could possibly be as loving and wonderfully sweet as you{Charity blushes}But that's not what I want to say, those are just reasons. They're the reasons why I..{struggles to say it}I, I...
Charity: You what?
Loud: I....{finally manages to eke out a whisper}I love you.
Charity: Is that it?{Loud nods}Well, in the unlikely event you were afraid I'd be mad or upset at you for saying that, don't be. You know why?{She lifts his chin up and speaks very softly}Because I love you too.
Loud: You, you do?
Charity: Yes I do, and I've wanted to tell you that since we got here too. But I've been afraid because...
Loud:{Finishing for her}Because of what Gene would do if he found out? That's why I didn't tell you, I'm still afraid that if he finds out he'll kill you. Oh boy, it's gonna be harder to keep it a secret now that we know, and Gene's so smart he'll figure it out very easily if he hasn't already, and...
Charity: Sssh, you've been paranoid about this far too long. If he does find out, it really does matter, he wants us all dead anyway. If he knows, we'll deal with it as we go. But I do love you, and I won't let him affect that.
Loud: You're right I should be stronger than this and less paranoid.{Hugs her}Thank you for lessening my regret of finally letting the big secret out.
Charity:{Hugging him back}Don't worry, we're going to be okay, we'll make it.
{They hug for a few more seconds, then break slightly apart, still holding each other. They just stare at each other for a second or two, then begin to instinctively move closer to each other. She puts her arms back around him, and he moves his right hand over to touch her face, and brings his other hand to stroke her ponytail. Their eyes close just as their lips meet, however Loud's eyes open widely afterwards from the feeling of her lips kissing his. However he quickly loses himself in the moment and kisses her back romantically and softly. Outside BB is smiling)
BB: (whispering) This is what shoulda happened. Remind me to tell my parents about it when they get back.
{Loud and Charity finish their kiss with their eyes half open looking at each other as their lips part, somewhat reluctantly. They look at each other, and then Loud breaks into his happiest smile and hugs her again lovingly. She hugs him back the same way. She lets go long enough to look at the door.}
Charity: You can come in, BB. We know you're there.
BB: (groaning as he comes in) Awww, how did you know it's me?
Charity: I'm your mother. I know everything.
BB: Then I bet you knew that uncle Harry, aunt Miss Info, and Uncle Smarty has came an idea to reanimate nearby corpses to scare the army if and when they arrive, it could very well get them out of hair for good.
Charity: (pause) Okay, not everything.
Loud: Okay, I'd go down there to help.
Charity: I will too. That way, even if Gene does find out, I will not be afraid anymore. I will stand by you.
(Loud nods as Charity leaves the room. As he leaves himself, he turns to BB)
{Fade to inside the sermon hall. It's now 4:30 AM, and Loud is with Smartypants, who's putting the final touches on what looks to be a small box}
Smartypants: All right, I hope I've transferred enough energy from my other devices to have the dead bodies move. Why don't you go outside and test this one on one of them, then bring it back and if it works I'll duplicate it.
Loud: There's no reason for me not to.{He puts on a soaked trenchcoat and hat and heads outside where it's still raining. Harry and Miss Info are waiting next to a pile of dead bodies, none are graphically dead though}
Harry: Okay, I can assume he's finished the prototype, so does it work?
Loud: We'll find out in a minute.{We see now the box has small pointed legs on it, and he puts the box on the back of a body, and it goes inside him perfectly, with the box itself sticking out}
Miss Info: Hey, wait a minute, what's that?{We now see a shadowed figure who seems to be digging a grave. There are two open graves next to that one with tombstones on all three}
Harry:{Whispers}This must be what BB told us....those are our graves. At least he thinks so.
Loud:{Whispers}Then we'll play along with that.{Calls out}Hey, who is this, anyone I know?{The figure goes off}Boy oh boy, I wonder what this could be?
Miss Info: Must be something shocking that'll keep us distracted for almost a whole half minute! Anyone wanted to attack us then, they'd have quite a shot!
Harry: We won't know till we check it out, so off to do that!
{They go to the nearby gravestones, and pretended to be surprised when one of them says "Here lies Loud Kiddington. Died February 24'th, 2000" The tombstone next to it reads the same thing, except it has Miss Info's name, and the one next to it has Harry's name}
Harry: Oh no, what a shock....let's move away.
Gene:{V.O}What, and miss getting a good look at-{Harry is able to turn around and jump on Gene before he finishes talking}
Miss Info: Get him, Harry!
Gene: How dare you, I wasn't finished!{Harry throws away Gene's gun, then Loud goes over and hits him in the face first}Not too bad of a left there....
Loud: You have no idea how long I've waited to do that.
Gene: You're too late, your friends are done for anyway!
{Gene pushes off Harry as Miss Info picks up a large stick and she puts it on the ground just as Gene nears a tombstone. And we quickly see why she did that, as Gene trips on the stick and the back of his head hits the tombstone}
Harry: Come on, we got him out of the way faster, we should have extra time to help the others!{We see the future kids coming over}
Toadster: All right, he'll be out for a minute or two, then get back up to attack you.
Harry: Keep him busy when he wakes up....use that info you have on him from the future again.
Gene Berry: Heh, leave that to us.
{They go over and block Gene's way before he comes over}
Gene: Out of my way, aggravating strangers!
Gene Berry: Sorry Slim, but no.
Gene: What is the meaning of this name you give me?
Gene Berry: You know that already. You're Slim Berry, I know better than anyone.
Kelly: And we know you fail and even people that look up to you fail and reform too. You don't have a very succesful legacy.
Gene: My name is Gene Burrows, your future murderer if you don't leave now and get away from the monsters over there!
BB: You have no idea what you're messing with here....
Gene: Then inform me instead of confusing me! Where did you get these lies?!
Gene Berry: We know, and it's enough we know! We even know.....you're not human.
Gene:{Pause}You have way too much time to make up these lies.
Gene Berry: You haven't been human for hours, and your plan to nuke Washington at the end of the day if you fail isn't working either. We know you gave up everything and you still failed.
Gene:{Longer pause}What are you people?{Gene stands there for a minute before Morre rushes into view}
Morre: Get away from our savior!!{He starts firing into the crowd and the kids have to run away, back to the others}
Gene: You....you got here just in time.
Morre: Well, I didn't want to finish them alone, I couldn't!
Gene: I suppose not.{Pause}Let's do it quickly before they start talking again.
Morre: As soon as we find them. Come out, come out wherever you are! It's not like you have many places to hide here!{We see them hiding behind a particularly large tombstone}
Miss Info:{Whispering}Boy, not to change the subject here, but this rain is really pouring.{Gasps}Oh no, I think I'm going to...{Sneezes}Ah choo!
Morre: Found you!{Shoots a laser blast just to the left of the tombstone to draw them out. They run to the right afterwards, but Morre is after them as fast as he can run, and he narrowly grabs Loud by the legs. His friends stop and run towards Morre, but Gene grabs them both before they get to him}
Gene: You two are just too loyal, that's your problem, you value your friend too much and now you're captured because of it.
BB:{Coming out with the other kids}Put them down!!
Morre: Move and we do it right this second!
Gene: Vincent, I just got an idea. Why don't you kill Harry and Miss Info for me, and then I'll kill Loud. He's the one I really want and I'd like him to see his friends die before he does, and you should do the honors for your good work.
Morre: Thank you oh so much!{Points his gun}This is the moment of my redemption!{A growling sound is heard behind him}Which one of you three made that noise?
Loud:{Smiling a nasty smile}Wasn't me, maybe you should look behind you.
{He does and what he sees terrifies him, it's the dead bodies, now alive. Smartypants centers the hoard holding a control box. The corpses walk towards the evil duo, Gene drops his enemies in shock}
Gene: I, I don't believe it, even the dead are against us!
Morre: What'll we do, we can't shoot them, they're already dead!
Gene: Well make them deader!{Morre prepares to fire, but then a shadowed figure comes out of nowhere and puts a ball of mud into the barrel of the gun}
Morre: What the, what was that?{Pulls the trigger but nothing comes out}This mud is blocking the barrel, I can't shoot!
Gene: Mud can't be that strong, let me see!{He gives him the gun and he sees the mud is nothing but a rock covered in mud}See, it's just a rock.{Tries to pull the rock out but can't}Ugh, a hard to get out rock! It's exactly the same shape as the barrel!
Morre: Keep firing, it's bound to come out!{He continues pulling the trigger until a disturbing noise comes out of it}What was that?
Gene: It's overloading from pulling the trigger so much! It's gonna blow!{He throws the gun away and it explodes. The shadowed figure then runs to the church's front door, where we see it's really Karras}
Karras: All right Smartypants, I'm going to open the doors! You should now send all but two of these corpses after the army after I open it!
Smartypants: I couldn't think of a better plan myself, though I could if I had more time to think about it.
Gene: You treacherous reverend, you were with them all along! You'll pay for this!{Just then a corpse comes up and tackles Gene, another one does the same to Morre. Karras opens the front door and the rest of the bodies walk inside, where the soldiers have finally gotten the others off of them and are preparing to fire}
Nathan: Time to die, you not so histerical swines! Boy, I'm good at poetry.
Karras: Not just yet, Mr. soldier. If you look in back of you, you'll get a good look at dead bodies without having to kill them to do so.{The army of dead bodies walks inside}
Muldoon: Zombies!
Soldier: Steady, Dr Burrows said not to be scared!{Suddenly a particularly ugly corpse comes up in front of him}But then again, there are some exceptions that can't be helped.
{The corpses tackle the army members and begin to fight them, apparently winning}
Kelly: All right, now we escape and head for Smarty's!
Charity: Come on Karras, you're coming with us!
Karras: I have to stay to keep them busy.
Leon: That's what your real self said, and he died! You can avoid that fate!
Karras: You worry about yourselves! Get these future kids through this so they can get back to their real home! Survive like your real selves did! Now go!
{The Histerians all run to the cars they were in earlier, but before they drive off, they see Gene grab Karras}
Gene: Not so fast! Apparently you sent the weakest dead bodies in the bunch after us two.
Karras: You won't stop them, if you couldn't capture them for 14 hours, you can't expect to capture them in 10. They'll stop you soon enough, you narrow minded judgmental lunatic!
BB: Oh, why did we tell him that his real self said those words?!
{Karras hits Gene and prepares to run, but Morre blocks him}
Morre:{Grabbing Karras}Looks like you love God quite a bit, so right now we're going to help you join him, for good!
Kelly: Come on guys, we can get him back while Gene's giving his speech about letting us go!
Gene: While I'm....forget it then, let's do it now!
{Morre gives him another gun and he points it at Karras. The Histerians are all watching and before they can get out of their cars to stop this, a gun shot is heard. Another lighting bolt comes down at the same time, blocking Karras's screams of pain. Suddenly in Sammy's car, Karras collides with the right window, his nearly dead expression seen right in front of Sammy's eyes. He and everyone else watching screams}
Karras:{Very weak}Godspeed...and God bless you, my...friends.{He collapses to the ground. No one can even move after seeing this. Finally they drive away}
Morre: They're getting away!
Gene: I said they could, besides they're traumatized enough now.{Pause}I want research done on those other kids with them during our next search. They are....becoming too much of a liability. Check for any links they might have to....special powers.
(Back in reality, Miss Info came in as Smartypants was at work on the simulation)
Miss Info: Any luck yet, honey?
Mr. Smartypants: I used up all my good luck getting this far. I managed to connect a few loose wires and so.
Miss Info: Well, couldn't y'all shut the machine off now?
Mr. Smartypants: (sighs) The best that could happen if the kids found the fail-safe device in there. They just got to know where to find it. I just hope they are all right and that the fake Gene doesn't killed them.
{Fade to the roads as the cars are driving away. Everyone is sad and shocked at what just happened}
Harry: I..I don't believe it, he actually killed him.
Sammy: I never thought he'd go that far...and I saw him die in front of my very eyes.
Aka: One of the goals I set for this was to not see anyone die that didn't deserve to. Guess that's not gonna happen.
Loud: BB, just so I know...you knew that would happen, did you? You knew Karris was going to die.
BB: (sighs) Yes we did.
Kelly: We wanted to save him, we really did, but he insisted that we don't do anything. He is like his real self in anyway.
Charity: Well, he sacrificed his life to saved ours, just like Karris did.
BB: And dad, before you do anything, you shouldn't let this get you down. You will later try not to tell mom about this for fear she may died like Karris did.
Loud: Son, don't. After what happened and my confession with Charity, I am no afraid now. I will do my best to get my future wife safe, no matter what.
Kelly: Oh, so you won't try to get her to leave when Gene finds out?
Loud: Well...unless someone has a better plan.
Smartypants: Here's something for you to do to get your mind off the death, Sammy. Drive straight ahead for 10 miles, then make a left and drive straight for 4 miles, then make a right and stop at the third building to the left.
Sammy: All right, but why?
Smartypants: Trust me, I'm about to take us to a place long overdue for our residence.
{The car pulls in front of the others and drives off. The other drivers see this and follow him. Fade to later on as we see the sun finally coming up. Sammy's car finally stops in front of the sidewalk and the others stop behind him. They all get out}
Toast: Um, why'd we stop here, dude? And where is here?
Smartypants: Look to your left. Behold, our new hideout!{We see the hideout is Smartypants's lab}
Sammy: This looks a bit familiar.
Cinnamon: Yeah. It looks familiar, except it's the area, not the building. Now where have I seent his area before?
Gene Berry: Wait! I remember! This is where the FBI building is going to be!
Smartypants: FBI building?
Toadster: Yep. You will moved out of here someday and this place will be torn down and replaced with the FBI building where Loud would be a FBI agent.
Toast: Whoa! Cool! Loud gets to hang with the feds?
Aka: Well, so much for planning to stay out of the public eye, heh Loud?
Smartypants: Well for now, this is my laboratory, remember I sent you a picture of it when I moved in, guys? Well, we are going to stay here because here, my many devices can be used to put us on equal ground with the army, and better yet, I can very well make it so they won't find us at all.
Fetch: Well that's good enough for me, let's go in.{They walk up to the lab and go inside}
Smartypants: Perfect, everything's just as I left it, so now I don't have to worry about having all my tools ready.
Father Time: And just how are you going to prevent the army from finding us?
BB: Uncle Smarty will make a force field to make sure those goggles he made for the police won't find us.
Smartypants: Awwww...I was going to tell them!
BB: Hey, you're a simulation, remember? We're the real thing.
Leon: Which reminds us: any luck finding that fail safe device yet?
Smartypants: Not a clue. If I find it, I'd let you know.
Harry: Well then, we'd better get to work, it's 7 AM now, we have 9 hours until the 4:00 deadline, we do this quickly and we'll have ample time to figure out how to overthrow Gene once and for all!
Aka: Well Smarty, you certainly know how to brighten up a situation.
Smartypants: Hmm, you find out a new talent everyday.
Cinnamon: Hey Mr. Kiddington! Since you are an item with Mrs. Bazaar, how about, I don't know, have some "alone time"?
Charity: Hey, you kids are too young for that stuff. So are we for that matter.
Leon: Come on! Give her the tongue!
BB: Leon, knock it off!
{Cut to the army tent as the soldiers are entering, all tired. Gene then barges in after everyone else in inside, pushing a TV on a cart}
Gene: Gentlemen, I have come to the conclusion that you have lost your motivation for killing our foes. That severely hurts our chances for victory with time falling fast.{He pushes a button on a console and suddenly steel doors appear, blocking all the exits out of that particular section}I now have no choice but to show you this tape to fix that problem. Vincent, while they're watching, you come with me please.
{Gene presses another button that opens an exit in back. He enters the section located in there, which looks like a weapons center, and Morre follows. Then the door closes again}
Morre: Okay, what did you want me for, why aren't I being motivated?
Gene: You're plenty motivated already, there's no need for more reminders. But still I wanted to talk to you.
{He grabs Morre by the collar and pushes him in back of the steel door}
Gene: Now, this army is not a very good one, as you know. As it's leader, you are supposed to fix that problem, but I see no hints that you have! This army is your responsibility, not mine, and you have the job of leading it towards our enemies capture, and that, to my great annoyance, is not happening! And I, to my deep regret, have to put some blame onto since you're the leader. Now either Loud, Miss Info and Harry die today, or you do! I won't stand for any more lackluster attempted captures, do you understand?!
Morre: Let me bring up something. If you killed me for not leading this army to success, wouldn't doing that be evil, because of all the suffering I've gone through? And haven't you so often said you're not evil? Killing me wouldn't help support that.
Gene: Oh, you're right.{Lets him go}Goodness, I almost forgot it would be. Sigh, and it's also because of another reason, because I can't stay mad at you, though it is tempting because you're an obvious scapegoat, but I can't. I can't because you're so much like me and...because you're really the only person who understands my real reasons for getting rid of them.
Morre: Yes, being through what I have gives me more insight to your point of view of all this.
Gene: You know, I always wanted to do something to improve life here, to make the world a better place. I tried my darndest to do that through science, but they ruined my dreams of doing that, didn't they?! But through that I realized the only way to really do good for the world was to get rid of them and rid the planet of their annoying, unpleasant existence. You understand that more than anyone.
Morre: Yes I do.
Gene: Thanks for that short but sweet reassurance that I am understood.
Morre: My pleasure. Now to change the subject and avoid more melodrama, what are we do about those kids? And what is this about Slim Berry?
Gene: (pause) If I tell you, will you not let anyone else know about it?
Morre: That depends on what it is.
Gene: They are right. My real name was Slim Berry, but I have a comedy self that got in my way of me wanting a scientist. I have it since my parents' self. I managed to get rid of that comedy side and changed my name. Loud and Miss Info's so-called attempt at comedy brought that memory of me wanting to get rid of that comedy self to the surface and I didn't want that.
Morre: Is that so? Well, not to worry, Gene. I will not say a word. Though I still curious of how those kids knew about my own kids Vincent and Natalie.
Gene: You named your son after yourself?
Morre: (growling) Yes. He is obviously suffering through the same problem I have. Oooh, those kids make me mad thinking about it.
Gene: Yes. How is it they knew about my past and anything else they knew about? (Pause) Unless...
Morre: Unless what?
Gene: I got a theory but for now, let's concentrate on the army's motivation.
Morre: Which reminds me, what are you showing to motivate them again?
Gene: Clips of Loud and Miss Info doing what they always do, be annoying.
Morre: I thought they burned all their episodes.
Gene: They did, but I still have the tape of my marathon. I'm showing them lovely clips of Miss Info's infamous incorrectness from that Science episode with Tesla, the Music episode with that soothsayer, and the 20'th Century Presidents episode. Isn't it ironic that in that episode Loud called her, his current best friend, a nut?
Morre: Wow, I never realized that. You could use that as a way to attack his obnoxiousness, since he there insulted even his very best friend.
Gene: Wonderful, that'll add on to the only clip of Loud I need to reaffirm his image, and that should be ending right about....now!{The door is opened again and they head inside to confront a dazed and befuddled army}
Morre: All right, you've just viewed three clips of Miss Info being extremely dumb, and I think you only needed that one clip of Loud to remind yourself of his problem. And...what was that last clip?
Gene: It was from that episode with Teddy Roosevelt where he disrupted the building of Mount Rushmore and kept hurting that Elmer Fudd esq guy. And I think that says it all about him, you'd think he'd stop yelling after seeing what his voice can do to the rocks and his dear old dad's head, but did he? No! That's why he's so hateable, that's why we must work harder to do him in!
Officer: Um, two things sir. One, that Elmer Fudd guy wasn't really his dad, he was just playing the part of him. And two, absolutely no offense, but this kind of stuff makes it look like you can't take a joke, they're jokes and you're taking them much too seriously. You're so obsessed with killing them because you're taking bad jokes too seriously, at least that's what I think, um sir.
Gene: I see. Now, for your insight, could you come here with me? I'm testing a new possible device for us that everyone is barred to look at because I'm not finished. I'd like your opinion on them, come with me.
Officer: Um, yes sir.{He comes with him to the weapons center and the door closes. The next thing we hear is a scream of pain from the officer and then a gunshot}
Gene:{V.O}How's that?
Officer:{V.O and weak}Yep, I'd say that's pretty powerful, sir.
Gene: Thank you.{Comes back into the room}Now, does anyone else think that way, I'm just curious.
{Everyone says no in a panicked hurry}
Gene: Good, now keep these recent clips in mind as you set out on your journey, and punish them for their awfulness! But make sure you bring the new kids and the targets to me, alive! Now if you'll excuse me I must go.
Morre: What, I thought you were helping us.
Gene: Not anymore, I originally stated I wouldn't do that, and I'm sticking to my word. Besides I may as well get back to the White house, the only reason people haven't trashed it is because I still have the spider nearby.{A helicopter touches down behind him}Now, you have 8 1/2 hours left, you make sure we don't need all of them to finish the job.{Salutes him}Carry on once more, my friend.
{He gets into the copter and it flies away towards the White House}
Morre: Well, I think he's said all that needs to be said. Let's move it!{The army members run out of the tent to resume their search}
(Inside the copter, Gene frowns as he thought about what he just said)
Gene: There is one explaination as to how those kids knew: they're from the future. They knew about my real plans and my...secret weapon. I'm going to find out who they are and bring them down, by any means necessary...
{Cut back to the lab as Smartypants is putting the finishing touches on another box}
Smartypants: There, although it's defiantly not an original design of mine, it's finished. Now to turn it on.
{He pushes a green button on top of the box. It opens and a few seconds later, a green forcefield appears briefly on the walls}
Smartypants: There, now when the army looks at this building with their goggles, it won't tell them we're here. Then they'll never find us and we can go on without worry of that anymore.
Pepper: AH HA HA, that's wonderful! Hey, now that we don't have to worry about being found, you can show us all you've done here. Maybe some of it would help us.
Smartypants: Okay, just don't break anything, before Gene came I wanted it all in peak condition to present to the government. Now I suppose that will never be.
Cho-Cho: All the more reason for us to defeat him and fix that.
Lucky Bob: Absolutely! Show us, Mr. Pants sir.
Smartypants: Pants sir, well that's a new name.
{Cut to the others as they're meeting together}
Sammy: All right, although I'm not real here, I'd like to be alive and not real for a little longer. So, no more teases, tell us blow by blow exactly what happens here!
Kelly: Well, in the original version, you guys debated over whether to leave Loud, and Charity stopped you. Then they confessed their love, Morre heard them, and told Gene. Then you escaped a small mechanical spider attack like in the first marathon, Charity ran away to spare Loud, got captured, and then things dragged on to the end.
Miss Info: The end of what? How'd he finally go down?
Toadster: You already know that you survive this....but the how is that you destroyed the big spider before it nuked Washington. Oh, and Gene reverted to being a robot when you throw him off the roof of the White House.
Loud: A ROBOT?!! ARE YOU JOKING?!
BB: No, I get that from your side of the family, and he's not related to you.
Harry: My God....he really went that far...
Gene Berry: It's gonna be fine now. We already had the confession earlier, so that moment isn't gonna happen here. We know Morre's gonna be here to spy on us anyway....what if we captured him before that? We could take him, lure Gene here, and destroy him as a human and a robot before any nukes went off!
Aka: But you said the army was already coming here anyway.
Toadster: But Gene stayed in the White House the rest of the way, Morre did all the field work. We get him, and he comes out to get us.
Father Time: So how are we gonna have the tools to defeat a killer robot, then?
BB: What better place for that than Smartypants's lab? He's gotta have lots of stuff here, and he's already building things at that.
Miss Info: Yeah, he is skilled that way...
BB: I know that you know that very well...
Sammy: Good, we get that out of the way, and destroy the threat better than our "real" counterparts ever did! We rule a lot more than they do cause of that, and that's all right by me!
Froggo: We have an advantage they didn't, so technically it is cheating.
Sammy: Geez, even when we're gonna live, you use that to insult me. It's a wonder my real self is such a success in the future anyway.
{Fade to outside the lab. A caption reads it's 9 AM. The army is outside}
Morre: All right, this is the next building. Goggles back on!{They put their goggles on. Inside, Smartypants and the others are peeking through the windows looking nervously}
Nathan: Um, I don't see anything sir.
Muldoon: Neither do I, nothing is being detected here.
Morre: And it appears all the drapes are shut so we can't see from there. That's a bit suspicious, and this house looks familiar.{Thinks}Oh well, I'm probably thinking about something irrelevant, and we can't spend time thinking this long about things like this. Let's go.{The army leaves}
Harry: Yes! You little genius, it worked!
Toast: All right, now they're out of our hair for good!
Toadster: Until Vincent comes.
Toast: Oh right, forgot.
BB: Now the next part involves getting Morre.
Kelly: But how?
BB: (smirking) The same way he found out about my parents' love.
Loud and Charity: Huh?
BB: Listen carefully...here is what we're going to do...
{Cut to Morre, as he looks back at Smartypants's lab}
Morre: I don't know whether rule that house out just yet....
Nathan: We have to keep moving, though, we're running out of time.
Morre:{Pause}You go ahead. Search each house as we planned, and I'll get back to you when I'm done.
{Morre leaves and goes back towards the house, scanning it with his goggles}
Morre: Still nothing....maybe I'll actually make progress if I look with my own eyes, and not rely on technology.{He takes off his goggles}
Loud:{V.O}STUPID ME! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!
Morre:{Gasps}No way that's not him! But where is it coming from?
Loud:{V.O}I can't take it anymore! I've tried to hide it as much as I can, but I just can't do it!
Charity:{V.O}Do what?
{Morre goes to a window, and uses a lockpick to open it up a bit. He then peeks from the drapes over the window and sees Loud and Charity inside, just like in the original version}
Loud: Charity, let me first say that I couldn't be more happy or more thankful for what you've done to help me if I tried. It's been an honor to be with you these last few months, and as far as I know there's only one person I've met that could possibly be as loving and wonderfully sweet as you{Charity blushes}But that's not what I want to say, those are just reasons. They're the reasons why I..{struggles to say it}I, I...
Charity: You what?
Loud: I....{finally manages to eke out a whisper}I love you.
Charity: Is that it?{Loud nods}Well, in the unlikely event you were afraid I'd be mad or upset at you for saying that, don't be. You know why?{She lifts his chin up and speaks very softly}Because I love you too.
{Morre watches this and looks surprised and angered all at once}
Loud: You, you do?
Charity: Yes, I do....you hear that fine, Vincent?
Morre:{Mutters}Was that...
{Just then, Morre is pinned to the wall by BB and Kelly, who are now seen outside along with the other future kids}
Kelly: Your goggles were designed to find our parents, but not us! Made this even more easier.
BB: Get him in, dad!
Morre: Dad?!
{Inside, Loud opens the window up and reaches out to grab Morre's arm. Charity grabs the other one, and the other Histerians go into the room to help pull Morre inside. Once he's in, the Histerians surround him and go into his pockets to take away his weapons and means of communication}
Morre: You entrapped me with those lies about love!!
Charity: They weren't lies....we just learned to confess it a little earlier than expected.
Morre: My God....that makes you a primary target with the others! You just killed yourself right there!
Loud: QUIET DOWN ABOUT HER, MORRE!!
BB:{Coming back in with the future kids}YEAH, SHOW SOME RESPECT!!
Morre: You people! You've ruined everything all day!
Miss Info: Yeah, it runs in the genes- I mean DNA. No need to say something that close to your friend.
Harry: Speaking of which, you're gonna call him now. Tell him we have you as our hostage, and order him to come here.
Morre: My army will destroy you when they're informed. And any threats you make will be useless because we all know you won't actually kill me!
Toadster: You don't have to be killed by us to die, and you're doomed anyway.
Charity: Now call him and update him.
{Cut to inside the Oval Office, as Gene is talking into a cell phone}
Nathan:{From the cell phone}We've been searching for an hour to an hour and a half, and nothing's coming up on our goggles, they must be hiding in too good of a place.
Gene: Did you bother to knock and actually look in some of the houses?!
Nathan: Yes, a few, but none of them worked either. Mr. Morre went out himself to start his own search, but we've heard nothing from him. The trail's getting colder and colder sir.
Gene: Nathan, let me ask you something. Do you want the country to be a totalitarian society? Do you want me to be a tyrant and deprive citizens everywhere of happiness? Do you want your family's deaths unavenged?!
Nathan: Of course not, sir.
Gene:{Angry}Then find them now and in a hurry, NOW!! I can't take much more of this, find them, no excuses!! {He hangs up angrily and a second later it rings again. He answers}Now what do you want?!
Morre:{V.O}I want to break a startling story to you.
Gene: Oh Vincent, hello. Sorry about that, I got off a bad call. I heard you went off to find them on your own.
Morre:{V.O}I did....
Miss Info:{V.O}But we found him first, as it turns out.
Gene: You!!
Harry:{V.O}We have your new best friend, Gene. We will take our anger at you out on him unless you come alone. If the army comes in, you know their bumbling will get Vincent hurt or killed.
Gene: You try to destroy him and I'll...
BB:{V.O}He was already gonna die when you destroyed the city, so what's the problem, robot?!
Gene:{Pause}You're still there....
BB:{V.O}Tell your army to back off, and we'll give you instructions on where to go.
Loud:{V.O}And one more thing. I LOVE CHAIRTY BAZAAR, OKAY?!!{The phone is hung up}
Gene: {Very eerily calm} Loud...is in love with Charity. Okay, normally this would be the time I asked Morre to excuse me. But since he can't...
(Outside the door to the oval office, we hear Gene yelling indescribable profanities. Back inside, he is now more calmer)
Gene: Okay, I am at a stalemate. Should I make the army back off and deal with them myself or should I risk Morre's life and send the army? Those future kids are clever than I thought. (pause) Well then, let's see them predict THIS move.
{Fade to later inside the tent. Gene is addressing the army with a TV camera in front of him}
Morre: Just 20 minutes ago we made a shocking discovery that our arch foe, Loud Kiddington, is in love with former Histeria co star Charity Bazaar, the depressed girl who always says "I'm not happy". Also, they have captured Vincent Morre and threatened his life. Obviously we cannot condone our enemy engaging in something like that. Therefore, by my orders, I have made Charity Bazaar your newest target! In other words, she must be captured and killed along with Loud, Miss Info and Harry or the country will turn into Hades, a nightmare, you know by now.
{Cut to Smartypants's lab as everyone is watching Morre's conference.}
Leon: Well, looks like Gene didn't waste time.
Gene: And also, I has decided to send some new devices to help you, which the Histerians will find very familiar. But first, Muldoon, I dropped my gun in that shadowy area in back of me, would you get it for me?
Muldoon: I don't know why you can't, but you're the boss.{He goes behind him to the shadowy black area. He spots the gun and bends to pick it up: but suddenly a mechanical pointed leg steps on it. The owner of the leg comes into view, it's a spider bot, exactly like the one in the original. 9 other bots come out of the shadows too}
Sammy:[Watching the bots}You know, I'm beginning to get sick of seeing these things. Couldn't he have come up with a more cheery animal as the design for all his evil devices?
BB: Sammy, you knew this would happen. Why bother complaining?
Gene: These spider bots, as I calls them, are my prized inventions, so they'd better not be damaged when I find them. Well, that's about all the things I have to say to everyone, so ta ta Histerians wherever you are, and I'll see you later Charity.
{The TV camera turns off}
Toast: Dude, looks like Gene doesn't care for the Morre dude's help.
Morre: You are fools. You will all pay for this outrage.
Gene Berry: Oh shut up grandpa.
Morre: "Grandpa?!"
Miss Info: So what are we to do now? Send Charity away for her own safely?
Loud: No, then Gene or someone else will go capture her. If the army is coming here, we must have a counterattack.
Kelly: Or...we could face Gene in the White House ourselves.
Smartypants: And how are we to do that? The army is obviously on their way here now.
Sammy: How? They don't know where we live.
Toadster: But Gene does. He is so smart after all.
Cinnamon: So what are we going to do?!
BB: (pause) I think I know of a way. We got to get into Gene's cave.
Charity: Wait, Gene's what? (The future kids quickly headed out) Why don't I get a clear answer?
(The simulation Histerians followed the kids, taking a tied up Morre with them, as they entered a certain room in the house. It's Gene's cave.)
Cho-Cho: What is this place?
Smartypants: This is Gene's cave where he built the robo-spider, but they already knew that.
BB: Toadster, I want you, Cinnamon, and Leon to search the cave for the you know whats that Gene shoulda left here. Kelly, help me find the manhole.
Leon and Kelly: Right.
WOW: What is you kids are looking for?
BB: It's how we got in here when an enemy of mine took over the White House himself.
Kelly: Found it, BB.
(The group find a familiar sewer lid. BB grins as he opens it.)
BB: Perfect. The entrance is still here.
Aka: Wait, you want us to escape through a sewer?
Smartypants: It was there so I could get samples from the sewer.
Pepper: Eeeew! Yucksosis!
Leon: We found them!
Loud: Found what?
(The group turns as Toadster, Cinnamon, and Leon brings out some familiar items: Gene's old normal sized mechanical spiders.)
Lucky Bob: Holy cow now!
Miss Info: What in the world...
BB: We used them to fight an army back from where we came from. And now, we are going to put those things into use. Gene, you think you could reprogram and used them just in time to fight off the army?
Gene Berry: (smirking) Hey, I learned a few things or two from my dad. I can reprogram these babies in a few seconds flat.
Father Time: Well, you better hurry. The army will be here any moment.
{A little later on, the Histerians are gathering various devices}
Harry:{Looking into his watch}We'd better hurry, it's pretty obvious they'll be here any minute.
W.O.W: And remind me, which kinds of devices are we grabbing? There are a lot of kinds to choose.
Harry: Two kinds, ones to help us for later in the inevitable confrontation with Gene for the fate of the nation, and ones to defeat the army and bots so we can keep the possibility of having one. If the other spider bots don't work.
BB: You remember what we told you about how to do that, right?
Miss Info: Yes, you told us, we just have to destroy one bot, then use it's remains to destroy the others.{While they're talking, they don't see the front door slightly opening}
Sammy: That's right. Though we may need to use some actual weapons to start things off, since Mr. Tesla isn't here to scare the bots to death by saying he's Walken.
Smartypants: Don't you think we should lay those old Walken jokes to death already, they stopped being funny after the 20'th time.
Harry: Well, we'll have to debate that later, I'll look for any signs of the army.{He walks over to the window, but suddenly bangs into something unseen}Ow! Do you have some sort of invisible device here you didn't tell me about?
Kelly: It's them, the spider bots are here and invisible!
{As if on cue, objects like a lamp, table and plants fly towards the Histerians, but they duck in time}
Father Time: They're throwing things at us, that's a new technique for them.
Smartypants: Throw things back, then we'll know where they are.{Suddenly something picks up Toast and throws him to the ground}
Toast:{Dazed}Found one dude.
Smartypants: Looks like we'll need to use this prototype gun prematurely.{He pulls out a gun exactly like the army's, but before he fires, a bright green light blinds him. When he gets his eyesight back, through his P.O.V we see a spider bot in the air landing on him}
Aka: Hey, let go of him, you bad bot!{She runs toward the bot, but another bot blocks her way. The rest of the bots surround the others. The army then makes their entrance}
Morre: We've gotcha now. All right, fire the nets at them! Remember now that Gene's gone we need to capture them again!
Loud:{To himself}I hate to reference it, but it's the only way to distract them.{Aloud}Hey, isn't that Charity running away in another room?
{The army members and the bots turn around, but of course see nothing. When they turn back around, the good guys are finishing running up the stairs, carrying Morre}
Morre:{Calling out}You guys and the bots get them, now!!
{Back in the tunnel, Gene Berry is almost finished working on the spider bots in there}
Cinnamon: You're sure they're gonna attack the right people?
Gene Berry: I cross these wires correct, and they will....{Just then the bots are activated}Yes! We're in!
Leon: So we just send them out there and it's all over?
Gene Berry: No, it just distracts them while the others can escape with us.
Leon: This didn't happen in the original....are we really that sure that changing the order of events in this version will help us live, like they did? This isn't time travel, but changing one thing could make another bad thing happen and we don't know it!
Gene Berry: We have enough advanced info to anticipate just about everything, though. I think we'll be fine that way. Bots, help prove that now!
{Upstairs, the group is, well, regrouping in another bedroom}
Cho-Cho: Whew, that was close.
Miss Info: I've only seen them for a few minutes and already I must know how scared y'all must have been when you faced them.
Pepper: Isn't there any metal we can use to drive through those things? At least until the other robots are ready to fight them themselves?
Smartypants: It's all downstairs, and I don't think going back down there is a good option now.
{While he's talking, the shadow of a raised pointed leg rises above their heads, then we see the leg come down and almost hit them. The spider bot owning the leg walks up to them, and swings his leg at them several times missing narrowly}
Harry: All right, let me have that gun. I'll have to test the laser part of it.{He aims the gun, backs away from the bot, and fires. However, the blast hits something green briefly seen covering the bot, and nothing happens to it}
Sammy:{Slowly}Okay, it has a shield now, this is not good.
Pepper: Not good? This is the W-O-R-S-T worst thing that could possibly happen! AHHHH!{Just then a net covers her}Then again, that ranks right up there.{Other soldiers block the way out}
Morre: Don't just stand there, free me! And then kill them immediatly!!
{Before the soldiers can do that, one of the Histerians's spider bots jumps in and attacks them, throwing them away. The others use this time to untie the nets, and run off. When they get downstairs, they see the other new spider bots attack and battle with the army's}
Morre: Where did you get those?!
BB: PASS THE TIME TRYING TO GUESS!!
Morre:{Groaning}Dear God, you're even louder and more aggravating than him!{Points to Loud}
Loud: There's a good reason for that, but it doesn't concern you now. Okay, let's get outta here!
Smartypants: Hold on, we need stuff just in case the bad bots get to us. There are metal bars nearby I was gonna use for future devices, but now would be a good time to use them against these things, get them!
{They run over to a pile of parts and bars and grab various pieces, just as some of the army's bots get to them}
Harry:{To his friends}Everyone has their parts and bars?{They nod}Then charge!
{Harry charges towards a bot holding a large metal bar. He prepares to drive it through the bot's stomach, but when he does, it only hits it's shield doing no damage. He tries again a few times to drive it through, until the bot's lower right leg drives through the bar itself and throws it away. He runs}
{Nearby, the remaining kids jump onto another bot and are right on top of it}
Loud: HEY MR. BOT! I'LL BET YOU CAN'T GET US FROM UP HERE!
Toast: Probably not, but try anyway dude, we dare you.
Froggo: I can top that, I double dare that thing to get us from here.
Aka: I'd triple dare it, but it looks like it already took up that offer!
{The bot's lower leg raises above them, and it comes down. The kids move away, but instead of the leg driving through it's own self, it only hits the shield again doing nothing. It then tries to hit them again, but they jump off this time, and again no damage is done as the bot hits itself}
{Behind them, another bot lines up it's gun at them. Smartypants notices this and crawls onto the floor, pulling out tools on the way. The bot fires it's gun at the kids, but thankfully they noticed in time and run. While it continues to fire, Smartypants goes directly below it and tries to use his tools to take it apart. But his tools only touch the shield and don't even get to the metal. He pokes the shield for a while trying to break through it, but nothing works. Just then he notices that the bot's head is staring directly at him, gun lined up. It shoots a laser blast but misses and the blast hits the bot's leg, but with the shield, that doesn't affect it at all}
{Finally, all of the Histerians regroup}
Sammy: We've hit it with everything we've got and they're still coming!
Toadster: The other bots are just as invincible, they can hold them....once they get here.
{Some of the other bots get there, and fire on the army's bots. The laser blasts deflect off the bots shield and heads towards the Histerian's bots, but their own shields deflect the blasts as well. This makes the blasts bounce back and forth from each of the spiders until they hit the actual building. As each army of bots battles, more blasts deflect off each other and start to weaken the building}
Loud: TO THE CAVE, QUICK!!
BB: YOU HEARD DAD, MOVE IT!!
Morre:{Pause}Okay, I ignored you calling him that the first time, but now-
{He is dragged off as the Histerians run off into another room behind the army's back. The soldiers turn around finally and see no one's there, but as the building is torn apart more and more, they finally have to evacuate. Behind them, the door of the room the Histerians are in locks. We now see what room they're in: it's Gene's cave}
Charity: We did it, we got past them, just like the others did!
Harry: Didn't you say I infect the spiders with a computer virus to finally stop them?
Toadster: But we don't need it now, we're already in the clear. Morre's still with us, so he doesn't play a love song to drive Loud out. And Charity's still with us, so he can't use her leaving to delay us. And the other soldiers have evacuated, we can sneak off now with no trouble.
Morre: You have 5 hours left until the end of freedom, it's too soon to celebrate! As long as I'm still your prisoner, you have less hope that Gene won't find you eventually!
Loud: Historical precedent says you're right....but it doesn't bode well for you in other areas.{Kicks him}AND THAT'S FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU WERE GOING TO DO TO CHARITY, BUT WE STOPPED YOU FROM DOING!!
Morre: Things I was going to do?! I'm still gonna do things to her, so what are you talking about?!
Kelly: Let's get to our final hideout for the day, then we'll get to that.
(Back at the White House, Gene is getting his report from the army...and it is obviously not going well)
Gene: (shocked) They did what?! With what?!
Nathan: (from call phone) I don't know how but they got robo spiders of their own. That was a move none of us predicted! It's as if they knew we were coming and knew what to do!
Gene: (pause) I will talk to you later, Nathan. I need to think! (hangs up) I knew it. Those kids are from the future. How else did they knew where I left my spiders I have left there? I cursed myself for leaving something valuable like that hanging around! I need to think. What can I do that none of them knew?
(Gene pauses to think a bit, then smirks evilly.)
Gene: I got it. (uses phone and made a call) This is Gene Burrows. Are the prisoners still there? (pause, then grins) Good. Bring them over to the White House. It's time I show the Histerians I mean business.
(We cut to another sewer lid as it was opened. The Histerians (and their prisoner) got out.)
Aka: Man! That was nasty! I'm glad we only do this once every few years.
Froggo: Where are we now?
BB: Where we are supposed to be. (BB points and sure enough, they are almost near the White House)
Morre: You want to be taken to your doom so quickly?! Oh, Gene will be please.
Charity: Wanna bet?
Father Time: Come on. Let's get into a new hideout.
(They found a house that is abandoned and used it.)
Harry: Okay, let's go over this again before we head out. Now, with Smartypants's duplicator, we've made guns for all of us like the army has. First, we journey to the White House, which is closer. We'll have to get in from the back, with the soldiers guarding the front gate and all those angry citizens there too.
Miss Info: Why? I mean all the soldiers can do is capture us and take us to Gene, and that's where we're going anyway.
BB: On the contrary, I know of a secret way in.
Cho-Cho: Well then, kid who is dating my daughter, what is it?
BB: Like my uncle Harry would say, we want to use the element of surprise to get in, we'll have more of an advantage this way.
Harry: Looks like you know me very well, BB.
Loud: Stupid question: what kind of name is BB anyway?
BB: He's a fan of Charity who loves her.
Loud: WAIT?! A LOVER?!
BB: Don't worry. You still have her.
Charity: Thank goodness for that, though I am curious to see this other BB.
BB: Mom!
Loud: Charity!
W.O.W: And we need every advantage possible, Gene and Morre are gonna be really mad at us, what with Loud and Charity and with time running out on them too.
Harry: Exactly. Once we're in, we go straight to the Oval Office and capture Gene with our guns. Then we figure out someway to make him give up control. But I'll admit, the most likely way we can overthrow him is that we may have to...kill him.
Sammy: Kill him? I don't know if I can do that, we don't kill, and we don't usually hurt either, at least not intentionally.
Toadster: He's going to be killed sooner or later.
Morre: You dare threaten...
Leon: Will someone tape his mouth please? (Smartypants uses a tape to taped Morre's mouth shutting him up) Thank you.
Harry: We may not have any other choice. Besides, would we really miss him if he died?
Froggo: What if the giant spider shows up and attacks?
Harry: That's why we have to capture and overthrow him as soon as possible, we have 2 hours. But first we should check the news in case something's happened that could ruin things.
{They turn on a nearby TV and we see Bladder at his news desk}
Bladder: It's 2:00 PM, and with 2 hours to go, it's getting more and more unlikely that we can come out of this alive and well and...wait a minute, I've just received word that Dr Burrows is about to address the country again. Since we have no choice, we take you now to the Oval Office for whatever he's going to say.{The TV switches to Gene}
Gene: Hello Loud...Charity.
Loud: He's addressing the both of us.
Charity: I don't see why. He doesn't have me.
Gene: I don't know where you are, but I know you are watching. This message is for you, especially those new kids who have been interfering in the army's progress of saving the country. I know you still have Vincent and while you think you are okay since I don't have Charity to force you to come here, I still have...my trump cards, two people familiar to Charity Bazaar.
{He turns to reveal two familiar people tied up in chairs}
Charity: (shocked) Mom?! Dad?!
BB: GRANDMA?! GRANDPA?!
Gene: These are your parents, Charity. They got in the army's way before they arrive at Smartypants's pants and tried to interfere. They won't be killed unless I want them to. But I will...unless you stop me, therefore I am giving you and your boyfriend a fair chance to do so.
Toadster: Yeah right, like they're stupid enough to do that.
Gene: I invite you to come down to the White House and you will have a chance to save them and overthrow me. I really grow tired of this chase, I want it to end now, and 200 million U.S citizens will agree with me. And I want you to come along so it can end as it should end. No more soldiers, no more spider bots, just you, me, Vincent, and...well, you get the idea. Make sure you bring Vincent with you. Why else would I mention his name? Don't do so and I will killed them.
Loud: BB, did you knew they were here?!
BB: No way! I didn't know!
Gene: Oh, one more thing: bring the new kids along. After all, we need witnesses to this thing.
Kelly: (pause) He knows.
Harry: Excuse me?
Kelly: He knows we're from the future. Well, it's the future right now...
Cinnamon: But he doesn't know this whole thing is a simulation. We're the only real ones here.
Harry:{Shaken}Well, that's certainly something that affects our plans.
Leon: I knew it! We have mess things up now!
Gene: Oh, and one more thing. Loud, you have just put Charity in a very dangerous position by putting her parents int his one, but I'd like to remind you that this isn't the first time you've hurt her. I'm about to show you a tape recorded from yesterday as the Histerians were taking the bus to their hotel an hour before my attack. At this time, Loud knew that he loved Charity, but I ask you, is this what passes for love these days?!
{The TV now switches to another showing of the scenes between Loud and Charity in the Rosa Parks sketch}
Loud:{Shocked and angry}THAT WASN'T FROM YESTERDAY, THAT WAS FROM A BADLY WRITTEN SKETCH WE SHOT DAYS BEFORE THE MARATHON, WAY BEFORE I FELL IN LOVE!!
Charity: Oh no...I knew that sketch would air...Loud...
Sammy: But that sketch never aired, we were gonna air it on King Day but we were canceled before then. We're the only ones other than Gene that know this wasn't done yesterday, and he's just made it so the public won't buy the truth.{Gene's image comes back}
Gene: That exchange was also aired in case the public started to question the value in killing Loud. Now I ask you, how can you let someone live when he does stuff like that to someone he "loves"?! I hope this will convince you once more that what we're doing is the right thing, so on that note, good bye again.{Miss Info turns off the TV angrily}
Miss Info: That jerk...
Loud: You're right, we have to stop him...no, I have to stop him.
BB: Forget it, dad! We are in this together!
Loud: But...
Charity: He's right. We're all going to be in the battle sooner or later. And our son knows of another way in, right?
BB: Oh yes. Definitely. Gene may think he has the advantage but we still one trick or two up our sleeves?
Lucky Bob: Our arms???
Gene Berry: Hoo boy. Why did you fell for Kelly, BB?
BB: I was wondering about that myself.
Kelly: BB!
BB: (chuckling) Just kidding. (kisses Kelly) Love ya, Kelly.
Kelly: (giggling) Me too.
Pepper: Well, we got a future set of lovers to look forward to.
{Fade to later on outside the White House, as the mob there is getting larger and angrier}
Bladder:{V.O}As you can see, the tension has gone to the breaking point, it is literally the final hour, under 1 hour to go until 4:00. The world is holding it's breath over what will be the outcome of the next 50 minutes...and we'll find out soon because the main target Loud Kiddington is headed to the White House now! Along with....some other kid, too!
{The angry citizens get even angrier at seeing then, and try to go through the barricades. The soldiers shoot their guns skyward to stop them}
Muldoon: Stop, you angry mob, stop!
Man: Why, we're trying to get him for you, let us through, we can't take it!
Muldoon: I said stop! Gene wants him to come through, and he can't if you get him first!{To other soldiers}Let him pass!
{Loud opens the gate and runs toward the building. Nearby, the others watch him, then run to the left. Gene watches him through the window}
Gene: He's here, with his new friend.
Charles Bazaar: So what does that mean? Are we being let go after you hurt him?
Gene: We'll just see what happens. Now to send the army away, they've done enough.
{Cut to the warehouse below the White House, where the other Histerians are}
Cinnamon: Wow, it's a wonder we were able to get in here so quickly. You'd figure the White House would have more security than that, even for underground places.
Aka: Guess they chose today to take a vacation, for good reason.
Morre:{Muffled and still tied up}Nothing you do will change what's meant to be!
Miss Info: You and I have different memories of what's "meant to be", and lucky I got the good one.
Morre:{Muffled}What?!
Harry: You'll see soon.
{Cut back to the Oval Office}
Gene: Well Bazaar family, your daughter's boyfriend will be here any minute, and I'll be ready to make it his first, and last visit to this office. Same goes for his future friend.
{Outside the room we see Loud and BB running and stopping at the Oval Office door. They are about to quietly open the door, but then they stop and think. Inside, Gene sees the doorknob begin to turn, and moves into position to grab him. But instead of the door opening slowly, it opens in a hurry, hitting Gene and knocking him down. Loud and BB see Gene down and surround him}
Loud: I wouldn't move another step if I were you.
Gene:{Harsh}All right, where is he?!
BB: He? Could you specify that, because there are a lot of "hes" that work here, and I'd like to know which one you're talking about.
Gene: You know what "he" I'm talking about, WHERE IS VINCENT?!
Loud: Oh, him! We'll get to him in a minute. First let the Bazaars go.
BB: Yeah, then maybe you'll get your precious Vincent back.
Gene: Why don't I just capture you now, hold you as additional hostages, get Vincent back that way, and kill you all soon after?
BB:{Pause}Because you wouldn't really be killing your original targets.
Gene: What does that mean? I know you're from the future, you and your other friends! If you're gonna tell me that I don't succeed, it doesn't matter! I can defy time anyway and kill them somehow!
BB: You only figured out half the story! You never could figure out all sides to everything, that's why your real self went so crazy and that's why Mom and Dad beat you!
Loud: Yeah, that's why the real me and Charity did it!
Gene:{Pause}What insanity are you under now? And why should I listen any further?!{Gets out a gun}
{Just then, all the other Histerians barge into the Oval Office and surround Gene quickly, and hold up Morre}
Gene Berry: I think you have a few minutes to spare.
Morre:{Muffled}Gene, don't listen, destroy them!!
Julia: I didn't know there were that many backup actors in the Histeria cast. Some of them even look remarkably like the regulars.
BB: I think it's finally time to explain...again, Grandmom.
Julia: That actually sounded a bit insulting....and inaccurate. Besides, I'm not that old.
BB: I'll explain further....only me and my "future friends" are real. As I told the Histerians, they are simulations of what happened in the year 2000. In the past, Gene was killed and then became a robot, then tried to destroy the entire city. My mom, Charity Bazaar, killed him for good until he was rebuilt years later, and he still lost then. Vincent Morre was killed by his own army at the end of the day. I know this because I am from the future, and my friends are to. I am the future child of Loud Kiddington and Charity Bazaar, with friends that are the future children of the other Histeria couples. We created this simulation for a school report about this day....none of the Histerians exist in this thing. And that means you, Gene Burrows, and you Vincent Morre....are not real either. You are all here because the future Mr Smartypants made you to recreate your battle....a battle that, even when you were real, Gene....you lost. And because I know you're a robot and know what you will do later and know how you die....you'll lose here too. So what's the point, huh?{Pause}HUH?!!!
Gene Berry: Oh, and Vincent's son fails to kill us in the future, and his daughter Natalie marries another version of Slim Berry, and gives birth to me. That should cover the rest of it.
Charles:{Pause}And I thought my psychic was all knowing...
Loud: The point is I'm not real, and Gene, you're not real either. You can't kill us because we're not alive to be killed....so your whole plan is ruined. It was ruined over 20 years ago, at that!
Harry: So now you know the whole truth. I believe your occupation has lost even it's excuses for it's legtimacy.{He unties Morre and shoves him towards Gene}Surrender and you can stay alive until the future children escape and shut us down anyway. Not that unreasonable in this new light, isn't it?
Gene: On the contrary...even if I am a fake...I will make sure the kids died here anyway!
(Gene grabs Morre and the two teleported away)
Toast: Dude, how did he was going to do that?
Charles: Where did he go?!
BB: Darn it! I think I know! We got to get there before he launches the nukes!
Everyone else: The nukes?!
Pepper: He couldn't go that far, would he?!
BB: He has no other option now. We have caught him in a corner. We have to get to the roof and into the spider before he launches those things anyway. Luckily for me, I'd studied the readouts before all this happened. I know a shortcut.
(Inside the spider, Morre looks bewildered as Gene begins to work)
Morre: Gene, you have to do something!
Gene: I am...yes. It doesn't matter. I am exposed anyway...no one will know it was me...they will blame the Histerians...
Morre: What?
Gene: I know I planned to launch then if they aren't killed by the deathline but those kids leave me no choice. I am launching the nukes early!
Morre: (shocked) What?!
Gene: Didn't you already say that?
Morre: Gene, what are you saying?!
Gene: Those kids are right. I am going to nuke the capital instead of taking it over if Loud, Charity, Miss Info, and Harry aren't killed by then!
Morre: Then all those threats...
Gene: Were empty! Vincent, you know how I feel, I know how you feel! They must died, every last one of them!
Morre: But...that kid claims we're nothing but a simulation!
Gene: Yes, but even those my real enemies won't died in reality, the future kids, who are the only real things, will! And unless you want to remain my friend and if you have any second thoughts now, you will join them!!!!
{Back in the White House, the Histerians and the Bazaar parents are running out}
Charity: Mom, Dad, you warn everyone to evacuate the city, just in case!
Charles: Sure....I'll tell everyone they aren't real and then say they could die in a few minutes. That'll make the first part go down easy.
BB: If we survive, we'll explain in greater detail later....though I thought I did a good job earlier. Just get as far away as you can!
Julia: Yes...is this the one who's our grandson?
Charles: I believe so...considering my history of knowing more than I should and concealing it, this really isn't that surprising.
Miss Info: What do you mean knowing more?
Charles: We can explain that later too, now go!
{The Histerians head off in one direction as Charles and Julia head off in another}
Charles: Attention! Attention everyone below, this is Dr Charles Bazaar! I'm here to say that Gene was lying when he said he'd take over the country if we didn't die! If they're not dead in 8 minutes, he'll launch a missile with the power of 2 atom bombs and destroy the city!{Everyone gasps in terror and begin to panic}So everybody, get out now while you still can, go!{Now everyone starts to panic}
Man: Wait! We shouldn't be screaming, we should be charging at that spider and killing them! I mean, they can't do that, so we should to save ourselves!{The mob of citizens murmurs in agreement}
Man 2: He's right! Let's go over there, get into that machine and kill everyone aboard and save us all!
{The citizens finally go through the barricades, go through the front gate and charge at the spider. Gene breaks away from battle to watch this}
Gene: All those people down there, citizens, army members and Histerians alike are really getting to be a bother. Well, I may as well give them a preview of what may come.
{From below, some people attempt to climb on the spider, but stop when they see the spiders head turning and coming out of it is a very large laser. It appears to be warming up to fire}
Charles: No, get away! It'll kill you all!
Julia: Everyone, stop!!!! Run to the back of the building, there's little chance you'll all be hurt there cause he's firing at the front, come on!
{Some citizens listen to her and follow the Bazaars, but about 65-70% are running through the front gate. Muldoon keeps being pushed backwards by the onslaught of people, when all of them get through, he finds himself on the ground in front of the gate- and sees himself facing the laser. It fires and the blast seems to be coming right at him. He can't find himself to move away, since he's frozen in terror. We then see a brilliant blue light covering the scene and then we cut to a helicopter flying above the city, carrying a cameraman and Dan Bladder}
Bladder: This is Dan Bladder above the city, trying to figure out what's going on, with this news that Dr Burrows is a robot...and I'm just getting this reported to me that he does not intend to conquer the country if they're not dead, he plans to...destroy it with a missile that has the power of two nuclear bombs?! I hope this is a joke!
Cameraman: This isn't a joke, look at the White House!{From below them, we see a huge crater in the area in front of the White House, with many people lying in it not moving. Bladder and the cameraman are in shock until Bladder moves the camera away from the scene}
Bladder: Get that camera away from there! There are some horrors a camera was not meant to view. Like apparently what will happen if it's 4:00 and they're not dead! If any of you can get out of the city, leave now, it appears that report I received wasn't a joke, leave! And we should leave too, let's get out of here! This is Dan Bladder, signing off from Washington.
{The helicopter leaves faster than it came. Cut back inside as Gene and Morre watch the carnage}
Morre: Just be to sure, you built this spider to withstand a nuclear blast, so we'll be okay when it hits, right.
Gene: Yes, yes, of course.
Morre: Good...{He looks below at the control panel}Look, this thing is giving a signal, we're being invaded!
(Cut to inside the robo-spider as everyone got inside)
Father Time: So this is what the spider looks like from the inside, eh? Never been in here before.
BB: Well, only because my parents, Harry, and Miss Info were the only ones to go in here besides Gene himself. And with so many changes, I am not sure if we could get out of this one alive.
Kelly: Have confidence, love. We will survive.
BB: I hope so.
Loud: So what now?
Sammy: Well, there is many of us and only two of them, so we could take them easily.
Toadster: Hmmm hmmm. Unless Gene gets killed and he comes back as his robot self.
Sammy: (pause) Okay, there is one advantage out the window.
BB: We just need to go into the control room and take Gene and Morre down. Hopefully we can do that without the robot thing.
Charity: Even so, how can we stop the spider?
BB: The same way you did, mom.
Gene Berry: One problem. Your parents, Harry, and Miss Info escaped the last time via escape pods and there is only 4 of them and many of us.
BB: (pause) Give me a moment and I can think of something.
Gene: We kill them here, and even if it's before the bombs go off, we let them go anyway. Then we escape from our pods when the fallout goes down, fly to another country, and continue our defense of our actions in exile.
Morre: What if this simulation is destroyed before that?
Gene: If they could do that, we'd be gone already. No, when they die, this thing will stay alive forever, and we'll have a long, healthy remainder of our "fake" lives.{Pause}Maybe we could even escape from here and kill the real Histerians one day.
Morre:{Pause}So you're really a robot now. Does that mean you can shoot lasers and stuff? That might make this easier.
Gene: I'd rather do it with my bare hands, the lasers are a last resort.
Loud:{V.O}HEY METAL GUY, WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG?!!
BB:{V.O}YEAH, ARE YOU RUSTING UP ALREADY, RUSTY?!!
{Gene growls and rips the human skin off his left arm, revealing it's robot interior. He then shoots off a few laser blasts with it}
Morre: I didn't actually see them anywhere.
BB:{V.O}YOUR EYES TOO BIG TO SEE ANYTHING, LORRE?!!
{Now Morre growls and grabs Gene's robot arm and tries to get it to shoot lasers out}
Gene: Those are under my control, my friend.
Loud:{V.O}LIKE YOU CONTROLLED YOUR FUNNY SIDE, SLIM?!! GEE, THAT WORKED OUT REAL GOOD!!
{Gene starts to run through the robot and Morre follows}
Morre: Stop this taunting and accept your death, or accept the millions more deaths you're accountable for!
BB:{V.O}OH, PIPE DOWN!! IF YOU WERE SO BIG ON ACCOUNTABILITY, YOU WOULDN'T BE KILLING MILLIONS, WOULD YOU?!
Gene: He doesn't have to get into those debates with you!
Loud:{V.O}THEN WE'LL STICK TO THE ONE ABOUT HOW PATHETIC YOU ARE!! YOU KNOW YOU LOSE, YOU KNOW I LIVE, YOU KNOW I'M MARRIED TO CHARITY AND HAVE A SON, YOU KNOW MISS INFO AND HARRY LIVE....AND YOU'RE STILL AFTER US!! YOU WENT FROM BEING OBSSESSED WITH KILLING US TO SETTLING FOR KILLING FAKES!! WHAT KINDA LOW STANDARDS FOR INSANITY IS THAT?!!
{Gene starts firing more laser blasts as he keeps running, blasts which get bigger and bigger and leave more damage in their path}
Gene: You dare mock all the horrors I've been through because of you...
BB:{V.O}THEN ADD THIS!! I'M ALIVE BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT MY MOM AND DAD TOGETHER IN THE FIRST PLACE! YOU DIDN'T KILL DAD, YOU ENSURED HE'D BE HAPPY FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE! AND IT IS A HAPPY LIFE, SLIM!! ALL BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE HIM WELL ENOUGH ALONE TO BE JUST A CHILD ACTOR ON A FAILED SHOW!! DAD DIDN'T CREATE YOUR MISERY....YOUR MISERY CREATED HIS GREAT LIFE!! THEREFORE, YOU CREATED ME BY ACCIDENT, AND SO....I THANK YOU!!
{At that, Gene gets more mad than ever, and sends a giant blast out- which destroys a nearby door. This is the door to the room the Histerians are in now. Gene fires two more giant blasts into the room- and one blows open a sizable hole on the floor, which shows the ground below. We then see the Histerians hiding in the back of the room}
Harry:{Whispering}Well, now we have our extra way out....so now we destroy him without getting blasted first, I assume.
Gene: (glaring) I don't know what you're all up to now but it will not work! I will ass...
Loud: BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. FACE IT, GENE. YOU DON'T SCARE ANYMORE.
Gene: And another thing, you claim you are something besides a big mouth but you're doing it again. Yelling!
Loud: Uh, yeah. Gene, in case you've forgotten, I am a simulation. That won't work on me.
Gene: Very well. Enough of this nonsense. Time to end it.
Morre: Let me get them first, Gene! I have waited too long for this!
Gene Berry: Well, excuse me for not caring, grandpa.
Morre: I don't see why my daughter have a brat like you! One of these days, I will find out whom she is going to fall in love with and forbid her to date him!
Gene Berry: Look, it happened already. And here's another thing you probably don't remember or care: you're going to die. (But you can stop right now.
Morre: What?
Smartypants: He's right. Turn from the path you're on or you will end up just like the real self.
Morre: I do not care! If I go, I may as well go out trying!
(Morre charges at them. The group looks bored and moved out of the way...just in time for Morre to fall right into the hole, unaware of his mistake until it was too late. He fell right to the floor below and went unconscious.)
{Gene walks towards the group and circles his prey}
Gene: So this is how you want to end your fake life....killed in a giant spider.
Cinnamon: Say, don't you wanna get outta here first and stop the nukes? Morre's down there, after all, that means he'll die if your plan goes off.
Gene: Then I'll have to kill you quickly.
Charity: Hey, that sounds like what's going to happen to you in a few seconds.
{Gene's fingers turn to claws again and he goes after the kids. Kelly then notices a metal bar a few feet away and rushes towards it. She picks it up and swings it toward Gene. She hits his head with it, then he tries again to slash her and misses. Charity gets another bar and goes back and swings the bar again and hits his arm this time. Still, he keeps coming and rushes towards her, and she gets away just before being slashed. The rest of the kids try to tackle him but he dives and moves away this time and continues his own attempts. This continues for a few moments until Loud picks up a bar and swings at him, but then stops at mid swing and drives the bar through his stomach. He screams in pain. Loud then moves the bar away and while Gene's holding his stomach, BB comes over and drives the bar through his shoulder. Gene then falls down}
{Before he can get up again, Gene Berry moves above him and hits him with another bar. Gene tries to block it with his arms but he continues to assault him, chipping away at his human skin and soon Gene's robotic head is exposed. Then his hand grabs the bar before it comes down and shoves Gene Berry away. Loud and BB then grab the bar and struggle for control of it with Gene, who's red robotic eyes are now burning red on anger. In sheer anger, his claws break through the bar and he crushes it in two pieces. Loud and BB looks at it stunned...and then with no time to react, Gene slashes their foreheads. They scream in pain and Charity and Kelly rush towards them, and then Gene slashes their stomachs, leaving claw marks on their shirts. They go down to the floor along with their boyfriends. Gene then gets up and walks around them ominously. He then bends down and picks them up, then throws they violently to the ground. The other kids and adults rush towards them, but Gene points his claws right at the kids head and looks ready to jam them into the kids, so they back off. Gene then looks down at them}
Gene:{Low}Time to die, Kiddington family.
BB:{Weak but defiant}Not before you, Doc.
{Gene then raises his hands and tries to drive his claws into the kids, but they roll out of the way. Before he gets his hands off the floor, every one of the Histerians jump onto Gene and pin him to the groud. Gene is obviously quite strong, but not enough to throw the humans off him, who just jump back on him every if they are thrown off. With Gene pinned down, Loud and Charity and BB and Kelly jump off}
Charity: Now how did I kill him the first time?
BB: You had control consoles smash into him, but I don't think that'll work now. You held him down with manacles, and the others have him now...by the time they get unscrewed, Gene could move away quickly or throw our friends and parents at them.
Kelly: So how do we kill him, then? What can we think of that they didn't?
{BB looks around, then stops}
BB: I know what else we can use.
{The kids run off as Gene is still pinned down, then finally gets enough people out of him to get up}
Gene: Enough!!! I don't need to kill you people here anyway!!
{Gene shoves several of the kids off and they fall through the hole, then grabs many of the adults and throws them off as well}
Gene: There....the nuclear fallout will do you in quite nicely.
Harry: What about me and Miss Info, Gene?! You want to kill us personally, I know that!
Gene: Well....you two have proven to be far less annoying than the children. I don't have to kill you by hand anymore.
Miss Info: Wow, what good timing to decide that now, huh?
Gene: Good bye anyway, braindead moron.{He moves to throw Harry and Miss Info off}
BB:{V.O}THAT'S MY AUNT YOU'RE TALKING TO, BERRY!!!
{Gene turns and sees the kids upstairs, near one of the escape pods. They climb on top of one, then BB presses a few buttons and climbs up. The pod then, instead of flying up, flys down- and right towards Gene. The kids then jump off just as the pod collides into Gene and heads for a wall- with him still on it}
Loud/Charity/BB/Kelly: Bye Gene!!{They grab Harry and Miss Info and dive out just as the pod and Gene are about to slam into the wall}
Gene: Clever future childr-
{He's cut off as the pod hits, and both it and Gene explode just as the kids and adults land on the ground below. They can barely get up, as above, the chain reaction has begun that is causing more things in the spider to explode as well. The other Histerians are now able to get up, and see what's happening}
Toast: I don't wanna lay down here anymore, dude....
Froggo: Go anywhere but here!
Leon: You got it, future dad of my friends!
{The present and future kids help Loud, Charity, BB and Kelly on their feet as they start to run, and the adults help Harry and Miss Info. At that point, Morre now starts to wake up himself}
Morre: What....?
{As debris starts to fall, Morre is narrowly able to start crawling away. Nearby, the adults and kids are starting to get clear}
Gene Berry: Wait, shouldn't the nukes have shot off by now?! Gene's hand flew off before the explosion and got them to launch!
{At that point, the nukes start to launch, but the fire from the explosions in the spider engulf them first and make them break apart without going off in a nuclear blast}
Gene Berry: Oh....well, I knew that was happening already, so no need to worry in the first place. Now I know how Nostradamus lives each day.
{Inside the spider, the fire is spreading like crazy all over the place. It looks like the spider can no longer hold up, and from outside, we see in one final large and brilliant blast, the giant spider finally explodes. The fire destroys the part of the White House below it instantly, and in the part that remains, fire is spreading through the halls very quickly. Debris is falling through the roof like comets, and in a few short seconds, the White House literally collapses on itself. Debris is flying everywhere in sight, and the people on the ground run everywhere to avoid it. The fire is still going, though not as much- and the Histerians are all okay}
Loud: Wow....now that I don't have to worry about Charity being in one of those pods after all, I can actually watch this and relax.
Cinnamon: Way cool, because we were all here, we made sure Ms Kiddington didn't have to use an escape pod and almost die! We revised history in a totally cool way! AH HA HA!!
Pepper: AH HA, I wish I was my real self so I could have kids that cool!
Leon: Huh? I thought he woulda still hate us! The Histerians weren't outside to convince him of the fact that he may turned into Gene or Morre if all he wants is revenge.
Charles: Don't worry. I convince him. Believe me, BB told me what to say before we rush out earlier.
Nathan: Come on everyone, clap and cheer, they saved us all!
{A few people join Nathan in the clapping, then everyone claps and begins to cheer. Soon they're cheering uproariously. Loud and Charity smile widely at this, then turn to each other and kiss long and lovingly. Everyone is cheering...and wouldn't you know it, suddenly gunshots are heard. Everyone turns around and looks at the rubble to see Morre, obviously the figure from earlier, holding a gun and looking pretty angry, and also looking pretty banged up}
Morre: Don't you people clap another second!{Starts to walk over and goes around the crater}You're cheering for people who almost got you all killed! Look, the White House, the symbol of democracy, is destroyed, and you came this close to being conquered and enslaved! And what about all the other damage around the city, and the lives lost too?! They wouldn't have happened if it weren't for them, and yet you clap for them?! Shame on you! This isn't a happy ending!{Reaches over and grabs Loud and Charity}This is a happy ending!{Points his gun at them}
Miss Info: Over my dead body it is!
Morre: That can be arranged soon enough.
Nathan:{Pulls out his army gun}Let them go now.
Morre:{Low}Stand down, soldier.
Nathan: I'm not a soldier anymore. Gene's dead, and therefore we don't need an army anymore since he can't rule over us anymore. You have no power over us.
Morre: But still, why are you objecting, they killed your family!
Nathan: No, Gene Burrows killed my family. He was a madman who deserved his fate, and they helped me realize that.
Morre: Then you're the victim of mindless propaganda!
Nathan: It wouldn't be the first time for any of us. I was going to become just like him if Charity Bazaar's parents didn't interfere, and you're going to turn into him too if you haven't already. Do you know what that man almost did? He wasn't planning national conquest, he planned to destroy the city to kill them, and he almost succeeded!
Morre: Well, yes. I already knew that but still...
Harry: He only used that empty threat as a way to form the army and get them to kill us. I know you want very much to kill us, but would you ever do what Gene was planning to do to do it?
Morre: Um, no. I want you dead very much, but I'd never kill millions of people to do it.
Father Time: But if you keep trying to kill us, you will eventually.
Morre: No I wouldn't, never, that's why I have to finish you now!
Sammy: This is exactly how Gene got started, he didn't want to harm any other people, and he still wound up almost killing us all. And don't you find it ironic that once you were obsessed with trying to save people lives by being a doctor, now you're obsessed with ending them?
Morre: That does seem like a cruel twist of irony.
Nathan: Listen, Vincent, I know what you've been going through with your name and such, but once you kill them, what then? Will that really change the scope of things, once you succeed, it doesn't. Do you think people will revere you for killing the people that saved the country, that'll make it worse. Shouldn't you stop the pain of all you suffered through now, forget about this, and try to move on?
Morre: I never thought of it that way.{Lets the kids go and begins to sob}Oh, all I wanted was to move beyond my unfortunate name, and yet everytime something comes along to help, it slams shut! Why was I chosen as the tortured, unfortunate one?!{Breaks down}
Sammy: Wow, we're good at making people cry.
Leon: BB, this is the part where Vincent will try to killed Loud and Charity anyway.
Gene Berry: Not yet. I have one trick up my sleeve...
Loud: There there, I know what it's like to live with torture, though no one can ever say they went through it like I did. But I finally got over it and realized nothing that happened here was my fault, you have different problems, but I think you can get over them.
Morre: But how? How can I get over all that's happened to me in a way that can please everyone involved?
Gene Berry: Well, before you think to shoot them anyway like I knew you would, consider this. How would your children feel, having a monster like you for a dad? Your son will lived everyday and mocked, not just because of his name giving him the same problem you did, but the fact that he has to hear about what you did everyday for the rest of his life. And it doesn't effect well on my mom either.
Cinnamon: Hey he got a point. And why don't you just do what your buddy Gene did? Change your name!
Morre: Hmmm...I think Gene mentioned that is how he changes his name but...
BB: But nothing! You just stop what you're doing or you will end up dead and not solve your problems at all! Your own wife will died of a broken heart afterwards! Do you want that?!
Morre: No! I...
Toadster: Then walk away and rebuilt your life like everyone else did. Walk away. You are not Gene Burrows and you know deep down we're right.
Gene Berry: And if Slim Berry, another version of your pal Gene, can changed his life, why not you?
Morre: I...I...you're right. I am not Gene so why should I be? I really going to need some help after this.
Father Time: (pause) Is that what really happened to Vincent Morre?
BB: No, but we give it our all.
Morre: Someone please take me to a hospital. I am about to go into a breakdown by crying...
{Cut to a few hours later, as the area is being cleaned up and the Histerians are still hanging around}
Charity: So if this is the end of the war....does that mean the simulation ends too? We were only created to recreate that event, and it's over now. Shouldn't we just fade away?
Kelly: I'm sure it malfunctioned enough to rule that out. Unless we find a way out or the real Smartypants does, we're still stuck here.
Aka: Maybe that's not so bad. I mean we get to stick around for a while longer, and we have enough time to actually see these kids we have.
Toadster: I guess it is weird but fun to consider that. Especially since a lot of you didn't even know you'd be together till later on.
Miss Info: Me too, I didn't know I'd be together with Smarty and that we'd create this whole mess over 20 years later! Actually, I guess there's some info that's not so neat to know.
Sammy: That and knowing I'm still a mid level exec who hasn't even made more than a billion yet in the future, that kinda bites too.
BB: Well, I'm sure we wouldn't get knocked down a grade if we didn't go to school tomorrow, considering this excuse. Even if the teacher doesn't believe it, at least it's original.
Loud: Are you sure you can get a good report outta this? After all, we did a lot of things different from what really happened. And you already knew a lot more than we did.
BB: If we get outta this, I'll salvage something. I got us into this, so I'd better get something out of it.
Loud: I think you got something. You proved you could beat Gene and Morre in ways we couldn't even dream of.
BB: Well, we had extra advantages that you didn't.
Loud: Just like you have the extra advantage of having us for parents. Apperantly we become experts at this sort of thing, and that means we transferred some of that to you. Watching you guys today....it's obvious you're gonna have a far easier time facing evil and threats than we ever could.
BB: But you guys were great enough, or else we wouldn't be alive.
Loud: To leave the next generation all the tips they need....so they can avoid going through the heck we did. The fact I have a kid who isn't as vulnerable and easy to manipulate as I was for a brief time...well, that's somewhat of a relief.
BB: Thanks Dad. Whatever happens, thanks....
Loud: You can tell your teacher I said that personally in your report.
BB: Assuming I get that chance.
Leon:{V.O}Hey, look at that, I found our way outta here!
Loud: Then again...
{BB gets up and sees Leon standing in the hole that Gene made when he blasted the ground with the spider. In that area is a big lever}
Leon: I don't think this was here over 20 years ago! This must be the fail safe device!
Toadster: Certainly looks like a possibility.
Kelly: If it is, then we go home! And....we destroy this simulation and everything in it.
Froggo: Yep...looks like our last minutes of fake life are here. But we can go knowing it's on our terms, not on his.
Miss Info: Any way of going is fine by me as long as it's not Gene's.
Sammy: When you say it like that, it almost doesn't sound all that good, you know.
Gene Berry: Well....might as well see if it sounds accurate.
(Leon flips the lever. And soon, things begin faded out, except for the real kids)
Leon: Well, that did it.
Toadster: I guess this is goodbye.
Aka: Yep. You remember though, we won't forget ya.
Harry: Yep. Even though what you did won't change your timeline, you have changed a lot in the simulation one.
Pepper: You make sure you give us a big hug when you can, Cinnamon.
Cinnamon: Okay, mom! I promised!
BB: Mom...dad...
Loud: It's okay, BB. We will miss you. But you know we will see you again.
BB:...Thanks.
(BB hugs both his parents, even though they aren't his real ones. He grins as he backs back to be with the kids as everything faded out completely.)
Voice: Simulation ended.
(Soon things light up to reveal the true surroundings: the simulation machine. The door opens allowing the kids to leave the machine. They soon run into the real Smartypants and Miss Information)
Smartypants: Thank goodness you kids are all right!
Kelly: Yeah, we're thankful too.
Miss Info: We're so sorry. Something went wrong with the machine. Did anything happened?
BB: Let's say we know how our parents and their friends deal with Gene Burrows and Vincent Morre years ago.
Smartypants: Meaning?
Leon: Now we know why they find it difficult to accept that we have to deal with they used to deal with: fighting baddies all the time. They deal with it since Gene Burrows on day 1.
Cinnamon: The good part is we get to spend a whole lot of time with our parents when they are younger, dudes! Ha ha ha ha!
Smarytpants: So I take it you all aren't mad at me?
BB: Uncle Smarty, right now we got to go. We got a report to do!
Gene Berry: After this, I need a nap. We have went and spend a bunch of hours without sleeping!
Miss Info: (confused) But you were in a simulation!
Kids: We know.
(The kids laughed as Smartypants and Miss Info looked at each other. They shrugged and laughed along as we fade out.)
