| {Later at night
inside the police station, the chief of police is sitting at his desk when he gets a call.
He picks up the phone} Chief: Hello? Drawford:{V.O naturally}Hello? This is FBI Director Drawford again. I'm calling this time to give you an order. Chief: Well you are one of two people that can do that, what can I do for you? Drawford: I realize now that Loud is clearly guilty. I defended him and helped him and this is the thanks I get. He betrayed the FBI and hurt me personally, and he must be punished. So I've come up with the perfect way to do it. Chief: Which is what? Drawford: The funeral for Charity is tomorrow morning, they'll show a tape recording of that on the noon news. After you make him watch it and make him see what he's done to people, you'll take him to the FBI building. You'll be putting him in our custody basically, and then we shall put him in a special isolated cell where only one other person is residing. I can't tell you who, but it will really hurt him. Chief: Well, it's probably pointless to ask for a clearing up of that, so I'll take your word for it. Drawford: Oh, and when you get there, tell the other agents that I will be taking a few days off to relax. With all this and the fact that William Shelton, that dangerous but brilliant renegade is still out there, I desperately need a vacation. Tell them not to look for me for a few days. That is all. Good night, chief. Chief: Okay, good night Mr Drawford. {Cut to what appears to be Drawford's house. Drawford is slowly hanging up the phone, likely because we then see a gun pointed at his head. But it then goes away. A voice that clearly belongs to Shelton speaks} Shelton: Good, you did your job, I'm proud of you. Now, the hand that holds your doom is gone. So with that, my hand now holds something else far less deadly.{We now see Shelton holding a needle towards Drawford's neck}The key to your enlightenment. {We go outside Drawford's home and then hear him scream. Fade to the next morning at a cemetery. Charity's funeral is going on here, as you probably predicted. The only H! people there are the ones not called in by Shelton, and that isn't many, but one of them, Father Time, is up there delivering the eulogy} Father Time: Charity Bazaar was, like many of us, quite unusual. Some would say she was a biting satire on Generation X, some would say she's just a sad little girl who wasn't interesting in the least. I'll admit the scripts we came up with didn't really change people's opinions on that. But she proved time and time again how wrong we were. She had nothing but a strong desire to help people when they were down and show them that they could better themselves. She found examples of that in some people the rest of us wouldn't have dared to. Of course everyone here is saying that's what ultimately doomed her. I won't add fuel to that fire, because this isn't the time or the place. But I will say that the reason people are so upset about this is because of all the things I just said and more. Thank you. {The last part of this speech is seen on a TV which is on a shelf inside what appears to be a dark room. When the speech is over a reporter talks} Reporter: That was the scene inside the cemetery as faithful friends and mourners came to pay their last respects to a very unique young lady. {The TV is then turned off by the owner of this room, Shelton. He then walks over to some sort of cage} Shelton: Well, look at it this way. At least now you know that they'll actually miss you when you really die. {Shelton is seen talking to a figure inside the cage, who gets up to reveal that it is...Charity, alive and apparently well![Now you can stop writing the hate mail, B.B]} Charity: How could you? But more importantly, how did you?! Shelton: I'm tired of seeing people like me talk and talk on and on about how they carried out their plans, it's a fad that should have died 50 years ago. You're a smart one, why don't you tell me? Charity: Well, I already know you came into my house after Loud left and drugged me so you could put me in here. And I know whatever body is in there, you altered it so it looked like I was dead. Shelton: It's amazing what you can do with some plastic surgery, a little liposuction, and some drugs. Charity: And I know after you knocked Loud out you took his gun, dressed up as that hunter, called the police, then somehow got three bullets and put them in that body. Then you hid in the shadows and made it look like you shot me just before those guys showed up. But I can't figure out how you made that tape recorded conversation happen when I wasn't really there. {Shelton gets out a little box. He pushes a button on it and starts talking into it and when he does, he sounds like Charity} Shelton:{In Charity's voice}This dandy little invention involving voice changing should provide a decent answer for you.{In his normal voice}Then all I had to do was wait for the right time to stop tape recording it, a time where a murder could be followed. That was his little "Oh yeah?!" plea as you already know. Charity: Why? Why did you alive to go through so much trouble to ruin us?! Shelton: Because I am two days away from beginning a ground breaking triumph of the human imagination and I couldn't have you around to bring me back to reality! Charity: You know something, Shelton? You were the perfect man to bring Gene back, you're both the same. You think you're doing good when you're doing the worst bad imaginable, you're no better than him!{Shelton goes right in front of the cage and grabs Charity by the collar} Shelton:{Low}Don't you try to say that with a straight face. Now as grateful as I am to that imprisoned robot, I will be the first to admit he is insane. He tried to destroy a entire city only because he wanted to kill 4 people. He could as easily done that in the streets, but he instead had to threaten all of us, that's rather pointless. He was willing to make everyone a sacrifice for death, whereas as I sacrifice people for eventual glory for the survivors. He didn't want to change the world for the better, but I do. So don't compare me to him because it insults the intelligence of us both. Charity: But there is some way I can compare you that's more truthful. You're both going to burn down below when this is all over. Shelton: You say that as if you believe it, you're a very convincing little actress. Charity: But you know they'll find out you faked this whole thing, if not now, at least they will when you perform your little experiment you've been telling me so much about tomorrow. Shelton: Depends on how many people are in good enough condition to tell the tale. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do, but I don't want you to be lonely. So I'll send in some people you might recognize to keep you company. {Shelton walks out of the room and holds the door open. We don't see who then comes in, but we hear several mechanical noises as it happens} Charity: Oh my God, he wasn't lying about you guys!{Shelton closes the door} {Cut to the inside of Gene's cell as he is sitting down on the floor relaxing. Just then a voice comes through the intercom} Voice: Hey, metal guy, you got a new cellmate coming in in 3 seconds. Okay, make that 0 seconds. {The door opens and Loud is pushed inside, then as quickly as it opens, the door closes. Loud gets up and looks at Gene with anger all over his eyes} Gene: I don't know if I should thank you for doing what I couldn't or hurt you for doing that same thing. Loud: You know, in the time when you're not crying or reflecting on the fact that you'll never see a loved one again, you start to think. Why did it happen, and how did it happen. So I'm going to say the answer, which is something I said before, but with one extra word. YOU TWO SET ME UP!! Gene: I'm still reading the papers, you know, and since that's all already been said by you in there, I think you need a new song and dance, boy. Loud: There is no possible way they would have even suspected me if you hadn't brought out all those things about us to make us argue! And since the murder happened so soon after our big one I have good reason to say what I just said! You and Shelton planned this whole thing together to ruin my life and make sure I couldn't stop Shelton from overthrowing the world, didn't you, DIDN'T YOU?! Gene: If we're talking about your murder case I don't think we should continue without my lawyer present. You could go and get him if you want, or if you could. Loud: Using the old denial trick, I see. And you say I need a new song and dance.{Another voice then comes through the intercom} Voice: Hey Loud, I forgot to tell you something. I don't know why I'm doing this since you're not an agent anymore, but we found out that there weren't a lot of your former co-stars at the funeral. Plus that former friend of yours who speaks out all the time, the information lady, has been missing for a few days. We think that the people Shelton captured are your friends. Anyway, you should get back to mourning over your successful murder attempt. Loud: Don't say that last thing, you actually think I didn't love her more than anything in the entire world because I did, so I couldn't have done it, I was framed! It's not my fault, it's not! Gene{Mocking Loud}It's not my fault, someone else did it. Now where have I heard that before, 15 years ago by someone in this cell perhaps? Loud:{Really angry}You. Now I KNOW you set this whole thing up, your friend has mine and you just had to make sure I couldn't exact vengeance for that! You played me like a guitar the whole time! Gene: Don't expect me to confess for stuff you did! Next thing you know you'll say all the things that happened to you and Charity were my fault when I had a good alibi, I was dead! I did none of that stuff, you and her did it all, that's why you're in this, because of your own free will! I didn't order you to argue with her and therefore create a motive for the crime, you did it all yourself! Loud: Still, I did everything but kill her! Gene: Then find me someone else other than Harry who thinks so! And find me one piece of evidence not coming from your still big fat mouth! Now, since we both know there are none of those things, maybe you should consider the fact that you are wasting your time and breath, and stop blaming me for your actions. There's only so long a time period where you can blame someone else for your problems, I've ended mine, perhaps you'd like to join me. Loud: I won't join you in condemning the truth. Gene: Now you know what made me tick for 3 months. I'll leave you to think about that while I take a little nap. {We then fade to some images of the happier moments between Loud and Charity in this story, then it turns to sights of the two arguing, and finally sights of the night of the "murder" Finally these sights end because we see Loud is waking up, all those things were a dream. He looks very bad as he is waking up, feeling so sad and angry all at once. He then looks at Gene who is asleep himself. With a look of real murder on is face, he gets up and walks towards him. He looks at him some more for a minute and finally grabs one of the bars that makes up his body. He tries to pull it off for a long while, and then he finally succeeds} Loud: Whew, that was easy. And I don't care right now that it was too easy, so much so that I'm suspicious, I just care about bringing justice. {Loud lifts the bar up just as Gene wakes up. The second his eyes open, Loud hits him with the bar. He then drives the bar through his stomach, then gets it out and starts hitting him with it any way he can. Gene isn't even fighting back} Loud: FIGHT BACK, YOU BRINGER OF PAIN, AT LEAST FIGHT BACK!! OKAY, THEN DIE AS A COWARD!!! {Finally the door to the cell opens and all the guards come in to restrain Loud} Loud: NO, LET ME GO, I HAVE TO KILL HIM!! YOU'RE GOING TO EVENTUALLY, LET ME SAVE YOU SOME WORK!! Guard: No, we can't let you become a two time murder! Loud: LET ME GO AND I'LL KILL THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT ALL, FOR TAKING AWAY WHAT I GAINED BACK AFTER HE WENT AWAY THE FIRST TIME!! {As him and the guards continue to fight and debate, they do not see that Gene has slipped away unnoticed and is running towards a door in back of the room. They only see this when he blasts the door and runs away} Guard: Hey, come back here, although there's no chance of you doing that willingly! Guard 2:[To Loud}You get back in there and start being sad over the fact that you helped a madbot escape! Loud: NO, LET ME GO AND I'LL CATCH HIM! Guard 3: Fat chance, you still have time to serve and you should start now so it'll go by faster. Loud:{Picking up the metal bar}Okay, just remember that you made this upcoming thing happen, not me. {Loud throws the bar towards the guards and it hits a few of them. As the rest go over to the hurt ones, Loud runs away. The guards eventually see this and start to fire their guns at him, but he gets out of the room quickly. He is now outside of the entire building, it is morning. A caption reads "Day 20" Loud then sees the door on the ground that Gene blasts, picks it up, and puts it over the open space, giving him time to run away before the guards come out. He runs away from the FBI building, trying to cover his face with his arms so people can't recognize him, until finally he hides behind another building. As he catches his breath, he turns and sees someone right there with him: Drawford} Loud: Mr Drawford! I, I, well I won't waste time asking why you're here and ask you not to put me back there! You know I'm innocent, you know I didn't kill her, why kid yourself by putting me in there? {As an answer, Drawford throws a left hook and then a right at Loud, and he goes down quickly. We fade to black again. Then through Loud's P.O.V, he wakes up and after the vision stops being blurry, he sees someone staring at him, Shelton} Shelton: So, we meet again, Mr Kiddington. Loud:{Woozy but defiant}Ha ha, Goldfinger. I'm only saying that name because Goldmurderer is accurate, but not that good of an actual name.{He then sees a metal hand holding his wrist}Oh, hello again Gene, guess you didn't...{Looks up}AH!! {He screamed because the thing holding him is not Gene, but another robot. In fact, the face of the robot is very familiar, and in a even bigger fact, the face is a robotic version of Pepper's face} Loud: Pepper?! What kind of a sick joke is this?! Shelton: Oh come on, she's nothing special. Everyone, come out so we can show him how right I am! {Suddenly more robots come into view, 9 of them to be exact. As we take a closer look, we see all of them have the faces of the H! characters that came into Shelton's lab 3 days ago} Shelton:{Talking like Al Pacino in Scarface}Loud, say hello to your not so little and even more dangerous than before friends. Loud: So, these aren't replicas, these...these are my friends?! Shelton: Aren't they beautiful, even though anything would have been an improvement over what they were before. Toast: Hey, how many times did we tell you to stop talking smack about the way we were, unless you want the demonstration to start early. Shelton: I'm sorry, sometimes I have no manners. Loud: This is it? This is your grand experiment?! You set this whole thing and took away everything I had just so you could more easily do something we all expected you to do, make robots out of people?! Shelton: The most deadly and destructive robots ever made, thank you. All thanks to my chemical concoction that turn people into robots even better than Gene Burrows himself. Loud: Where is he anyway? Shelton: I don't know, but I don't really care anymore. He is no longer needed for the process, everything is all set. Loud: For what, you said yourself in that calendar tomorrow the experiment comes to a climax, is it a grand finale or a dud? Shelton: You get this clue as an answer. There's only one person not in this room who knows where I live, tomorrow that will change dramatically. And those who I tell will be sending thousands of people like yourself to their deaths. Loud: Okay, I already figured out you're gonna tell them where you are, but thousands of people? Why would they send that many even for you? Shelton: Because of the person who brought you here, that's who. Oh Mr Drawford!{Drawford walks in}The threat of killing the director of the FBI gives you quite a negotiation tactic. Loud: Are you trying to kill yourself? Shelton: I just want my bots to have a big audience, but it's up to them to figure how many will be left to give them a standing ovation. Loud: YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THEM KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE?! WHY?! Shelton: So people realize that it's useless to deny robots their given right to govern because then they could very well do what they've always fear they'll do, kill and destroy. Loud: And then you think that after you do it a few more times, they'll just give the world to robots, by then you'll probably have plenty of people captured and turned into robots so you can make an entire army! Shelton: Well, you are smart after all, good for you. Even though smarts are what ultimately defeated you and what ultimately will give me power over the FBI. You know, the one thing people always ask after tragedies is "What if?" What if Drawford hadn't "taken a vacation" when this all happened and what if he was around to try to talk me out of demanding that every available SWAT, FBI, and police officer showed up tomorrow? He'll have quite a lot more responsibility after this, and he'll have to make a lot of decisions. I thought I'd come to his house two nights ago and make sure he didn't have to worry about that. He can't worry about it if he has no more control over his life. Loud: YOU DRUGGED HIM AND MADE HIM YOUR SERVANT, DIDN'T YOU?! THAT'S WHY HE KNOCKED ME OUT WHEN I ESCAPED AND HE MUST HAVE BRUNG ME HERE!! AFTER HE GETS BACK, YOU'LL BASICALLY USE HIM TO RUN THE FBI AND MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR YOU! Drawford: Excuse me, I do not serve him, Mr Kiddington, I still serve the people, and so does he. Loud: Enough with the we're doing so much good crud, it's getting very old and even less truthful than it already is! Shelton: Fine, no more talk from me, the action comes tomorrow. Loud: Hold on, you could probably have gone into Drawford's house, drugged him, and used him to carry out your plans at any time, why do it only now? Shelton: Because I promised a friend I would only do it when I finished the work of three days ago, he called it a reward for brilliance. Loud: So you did plan this whole thing together! Lucky Bob: But you created the motive all by yourself, they both did nothing but reveal a bunch of lies you told each other. Heh, it feels good to say something smart. Loud: Shelton, one more thing. If you wanted me out of the way, why bring me here where I can destroy your whole operation? Shelton: So you can see what your failure and your arguing have created, you couldn't stop me, so thanks to that thousands of lives have to be stopped instead. And the fact your friends are going to do it is good torture to bring on you before then too. Loud: Where's Miss Info? You would know personally that her and I aren't close anymore, so I'd have figured you would turn her into a robot to torture me big time. Besides, she has been missing for four days last time I heard, and you definitely had something to do with that. Shelton: Oh, how right you are. Loud: You, you didn't kill her too did you? Did you?! Shelton: Have you ever noticed how much your former wife looked like how Miss Info looked 10 years ago? Loud: What does that have to do with anything? Shelton:{Now with tools in his arms}Hey, doesn't this stuff look good? Take your mind off all this for a while and see these things. {Shelton lays down all that stuff on the floor. Loud looks at it} Loud: There are tools for plastic surgery, and this stuff next to it is...liposuction tools? And even more drugs? What would you be doing with this stuff.... {Suddenly images of how Charity looked on her apparent deathbed fly into Loud's head and are seen by us. He then sees images of Charity from previous scenes, and then compares that to how Miss Info looked on the show. After seeing one more view of an apparently dead Charity and an image of Miss Info 10 years ago, he looks at the tools on the floor and collapses on the ground, realizing what Shelton has done} Loud: You mean Miss Info is...and Charity is still.... Shelton:{To Sammy}Please shut him up before he gets the desire to scream and yell at me again. {The Sammy robot goes over to Loud and turns his left hand into a needle. We then see Loud about to start yelling, but his face then freezes up before he can. He falls, out cold} Shelton: Take him over to my other prison on this floor so there's no way even he can talk to our prisoner on the second floor successfully!{Sammy and Bill drag Loud away} Drawford: Um, William, when do you plan to tell him that Miss Info isn't really dead, but only under a sleeping drug? Shelton: Never, why does he need to know? Even though the drug that put her to sleep and robbed her of a pulse and life for 4 days just like the drug in that Romeo and Juliet movie starring that one hit wonder Di Caprio fellow wears off tomorrow, by the time that happens, he'll probably be dead. And you forget, when I drove those bullets into her skin instead of just shooting her, she lost blood, so she might be dead soon anyway. Besides, you stopped caring about things like that when I showed you the virtue of what I was doing. Drawford: You're right, I guess I just need some more time to get used to a new way of life. Shelton: You'll have plenty of it, I assure you. Now get some rest, we'll all need it for the big day tomorrow. Oh, and all you other robots, I have more orders! When Burrows finally gets here, he'll want to kill those two. After he does, I want you to kill him too. Froggo: You'd actually kill the guy that helped you get this far? Shelton: Well after he kills Loud and Charity he'll have nothing left to live for, he certainly doesn't want to rule the world with me, I know that. I think he should go out after his finest hour, as a friend I also think he's earned it! Now I'm going to get some sleep myself, if he shows up call me, if not don't let me get up until tomorrow morning. {Fade to nighttime. Behind one of the buildings nearby we see someone, or maybe something, putting on a mask of a human face. The man or thing then comes out of the shadows and walks down the street until he literally runs into someone else} Man:{Deep voice}Hey, watch it, you almost made me fall down! Man 2:{Nasally voice}I'm sorry, I truly am. Please accept this handshake as a more proper apology.{He shakes the other man hand but also appears to be scratching it too} Man: Ow, what was that scratching for? Never mind, I have more important things to do and people to see to be worried abut that. {The first man walks away but not before the second one sees that on his hand, there is a little piece of skin, and where it should be, there is metal. Cut to inside Harry's apartment room where he is watching a small TV that seems to be seeing things from the second's man's P.O.V, if it is a man at all} Harry: Gene, I knew I'd find you somewhere. My revolutionary robot controlled by a remote worked perfectly. This thing was first intended to settle the debate on robots by creating one that we could control all by ourselves, thereby eliminating the possibility of it having a mind of it's own to harm us. Now it shall be used to follow Gene until he gets to where Shelton is. Then, when I find Shelton, I find some way to stop him and perhaps save the life of an unpopular friend and the lives of many missing friends too, if I'm not too late. Hey, why am I saying all this exposition, I have to follow Gene by using one of his own kind to do it! I'm coming, guys. {Cut to the next morning as we see an overhead view of Shelton's lab. Then fade to another dark room, this time there is nothing inside except a worse for the wearer Loud. He then clears his throat and yells} Loud: CHARITY!! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME AND I KNOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO WHAT I'M GONNA SAY, BUT LISTEN ANYWAY! WHEN I WASN'T UNDER THAT DRUG THEY GAVE ME SO THEY COULD PUT ME IN HERE, I HAD SOME TIME TO THINK! AND THE THING IS, IT IS SO CLICHE TO HAVE SOMEONE FORGET ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH SOMEONE BECAUSE THE PERSON ALMOST DIED FOR A GOOD REASON, BECAUSE IT'S TRUE! SO IN CASE I CAN'T TELL YOU THIS IN PERSON, I'M GONNA SAY IT FROM FAR AWAY, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I DON'T CARE. {The door to the room then opens and the robots that used to be Froggo, Cho-Cho, and Pepper come in} Pepper: You know, you can only stand sentiment like that for so long, you reached your limit a long time ago.{Takes out a piece of tape and puts it over Loud's mouth}There, that takes care of that problem. Cho-Cho: Sadly only for a little while, case in point over there.{Loud takes off the tape} Loud: You guys can't do this, you're still my friends inside! Froggo: A plea like that no matter how noble is no match for the stuff we went through to get this powerful. Even if we didn't want to do what we're gonna do, we wouldn't have much success trying. Your friends are dead, and I hope you behave or Shelton will make you join them. Loud: Sorry, if I had a give up attitude I wouldn't be here. Pepper: Could you hold still for a moment please before you think of an even weaker thing to say? {Pepper's right hand disappears and a gun comes out. She firs it, but bullets do not come out, but rather something that drives Loud to the wall. We then see a second later that she was firing a manacle which is trapping Loud's left hand to the wall. She then shoots another one which traps Loud's other hand to the wall. Finally she gets the tape and puts it back on his mouth} Froggo: Much better, now he doesn't have to try to shut up because he has no other options. Cho-Cho: Speaking of much better, our prisoner has nothing on that little summary. {Cut to Charity's cell. She looks sad for a moment, obviously having heard Loud's plea, then frowns deeply} Charity: Don't worry Loud, the bow hasn't been wrapped around this one yet. I'm getting out of here. Shelton:{V.O}Put me through to the President of the United States. {Fade to the Oval Office where President Hillary Clinton is talking on a phone} Hillary: Bill, for the last time, I gave you all the money I have to spare. Look, you're the one who wanted to let the Clinton political legacy end when you left here, I made sure the name legacy could still apply to us! Yes, I know I had to wait for the dummy son and that wooden stick of a former Vice President of ours to run this country first, but did they get as much air time here as I did, no! Well you know I was more well liked than you even before that extracurricular stuff of yours came out...hold on, before you start getting in a hissy fit I have another call to take. Hello? {We see Shelton talking on his phone outside the door to Charity's room} Shelton: Do you want your second term to end as badly as your husband's did? Hillary: Roger, for the last time, those menacing voices aren't working for you! Shelton: This isn't one of Bill's mixed up relatives, just someone mixed up with secrets I'd like to give out. Hillary: Dr Shelton, that explanation wouldn't have been as pointless if you were talking to someone in a cave, the only people who don't know who you are. Shelton: 1313 Maple Lane Drive. Hillary: Say that in a clear sentence, please. Shelton: 1313 Maple Lane Drive, that' my address, why must I spell things out for everyone?! I'm telling you where I live so you can come and get me! Hillary: You're giving yourself up? Shelton: Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, but you'll never know unless you send every police officer, SWAT team man, and FBI agent you've got to my home to catch me. Hillary: Every one? Well, not that I'm complaining since that makes things easier, but... Shelton: Easier? Perhaps the fact that I have FBI Director Scott Drawford with me, Scott Drawford, who is near death right now in fact.{Drawford walks towards Shelton and takes the phone from him to talk in it} Drawford:{Sounding very weak but obviously faking}Please....help me, facing betrayal and death in one week's time is too much for any man, even the FBI Director, cough. Hillary: What have you done to that man?! Shelton: What will you do to make sure I don't do any more to that man, and all the former TV stars I have with me?! Send everyone, the best of the best, the worst of the best, the worst of the worst, I don't care, just everyone! It'll at least let me know how valued I am to you people, and how much you value the life of the innocent. Do this and they live. Hillary: Hold it, you wouldn't ask us to do this unless you had something planned. Put Drawford back on the phone. Shelton: Good idea, he might not have much time to do that, might as well let him have one more chance to talk, everyone deserves a last word. Hillary: If you mean what you think I mean by that, then fine, you've made your point. I'll have everyone sent to your house to take you down. Shelton: I knew you were the smart one in your family, though that's the least flattering praise in history now that you think about it. Hillary Trust me, too many people have done that for 5 lifetimes. If you'll excuse me I have to do what you say and tell Bill to call me back.{Hangs up} Shelton: Well done, Scott, you made quite the most out of your bit part.{Opens the door to Charity's room ever so slightly}You hear that, Mrs wanna be escapee? It's too late for any more tricks, destiny can not wait one more moment! The new order begins today! {Now we see all roads leading to Shelton's lab are covered by car after oncoming car. The roads are all backed up as far as the eye can see. A few of them park in front of the lab, and then all the others stop no matter how far back they are. All the agents and officers in those cars then come out and run towards the lab, in about 10 seconds hundreds of people are surrounding the building} Agent: William Shelton, come out with your hands up and we won't have to kill you, although it's tempting! Agent 2: Hey, look up there!{Everyone looks up to see Shelton looking at them through the second story window} Agent: Come down from there and surrender! Everyone you wanted is here, so now you know how important you are! You can prove it more by seeing how happy people will be when you're in jail, come out here! {Back in Charity's cell, we see her looking through her pockets, and then finally pulling out a nailfile. She gets to work using it to unlock her cell. Cut back to the outside of the lab} Agent: Shelton, for the last time, come down here! At least say something!{Shelton opens the window} Shelton: The time for talk is over, I've played that game 2 years too long! Now turn around and see the final things you shall ever see in your soon to be no longer pointless lives, martyrs! {Suddenly several explosions are heard. The cops turn around and see that many of their cars have blown up. In the fire, several figures are seen coming out, the figures of the robots. Many weapons are then seen coming out of their bodies, and they are all fired at the same time, causing more explosions and deaths not graphically seen} Agent: Get in that lab! {Many troops run towards the front door, but before they go inside, robotic arms block their way, which are coming from the Bill robot standing not too far away} Bill: It's smackdown time, which doesn't relate to our top rated wrestling show but rather to this. {Bill's outstretched arms hits the agents near the door and knock them down, and then when more people run to the door, he hits them too. Nearby, the Chit and Sammy robots are surrounded} Chit: Finally, some action for me! Sam, I know you're the big battle expert but leave this to the well rested, barely tested master! {As they talk, three agents are ready to shoot them from back, but three axes then come out of Chit's back and chop their guns in two. Weapons then come out from all over his body and they are used to chop all the guns the other officers and agents have. They all look shocked, which gives Sammy the time to turn his hands into mallets and hit all their heads with them} Sammy: Thanks for giving me the save opportunity, pal. Chit:{Dry}Um, yeah whatever gets you through the night. {In the back of this lopsided battle, three more officers are talking} Officer: Where are those special robot guns?! We created them only when we dealt with Shelton because we knew someday he'd build things like this! Officer 2: But he didn't build them, that's obviously the former cast of Histeria turned into robots, they're civilians, we can't kill civilians! Officer 3: perhaps if they were more civil, that would be debatable. Now let's get out our guns and set them on kill mode! {The three pull out the special laser guns from the very first scene and point them at a nearby Pepper and Lucky Bob. The second officer fires first and hits Pepper, but doesn't blow her up, instead she is knocked to the ground. The same thing happens when he fires at Lucky Bob} Officer: Hey, you set that thing on regular mode, that mode doesn't blow them up! Officer 2: But now we have time to get the deactivation guns and shut them down, then we can turn them back to humans. I'll show you. {He runs towards the downed robots/former humans, but is almost immediately grabbed by the robots outstretched arms} Pepper: You know, loving everything like I did gets really old. Thanks to you, I finally found something to hate. Annoying good naive do gooders like you! Officer:{Points his gun at the robots}We feel differently about that.{The officer fires his gun, but before it hits the robots they throw the officer right in front of them and the blast hits him instead} Officer 3: Oh my God, you killed him! Lucky Bob: Yes now, you...well, you know how that phrase goes.{His arms grab the other two officers and throw them far away} {Inside the lab, Charity has now just picked the lock from her cell and is now free. She then goes over to the door and kicks it down, the runs off. Cut to an overhead view of he battle which shows destruction and victory for the former H! cast everywhere. All the attempts by the agents and officers to get in the lab are blocked in some shape or form by the robots. Weapons are still being fired at the cars and people and are still highly effective} {Back inside the lab, Shelton is watching this from behind a window and is pleased. The door to the room slowly opens then and Charity creeps in. She tiptoes halfway through to Shelton before she sees a gun nearby. She picks it up and points it at him} Charity: Give me a reason not to shoot you. Shelton:{Not even turning around}No. {Charity then pulls the trigger and gets Shelton in the back....but he doesn't fall down. We then see his face doesn't even show pain. He then finally turns around and stares at her while he actually pulls the bullet from his back...which now shows metal where the bullet hit instead of skin. After he gets the bullet out, he throws it at Charity who dodges it narrowly} Shelton: I had nothing else to do last night, so I thought, if I'm going to give robots power, I should lead by example. Therefore those tubes that gave your friends all their destructive power got a visit from me. Charity: I should have figured you'd turn into a robot eventually. Shelton: And I can just as easily turn back into a human if I wanted, it can easily be done. The chance to do that is my money back guarantee to myself.{Shelton's arms then stretch out towards Charity, one hand grabs her wrist, and the other takes her gun and points it at her}Now you get to be the test subject for my new abilities, but it'll only be a 10 second job. {Shelton cocks the gun and fires, but Charity dives her head out of the way a split second before he does. The temporary shock gives her the opportunity to free her wrist from Shelton's grip, and then she runs towards him. The robotic arms chase her, but before she runs into Shelton, she dives and slides through his legs, which don't close in time to stop her from getting through. She then jumps onto the desk behind her, then jumps behind it and hides. Shelton then grabs the desk and tries to lift it, it is not too light but not too heavy to pull even for a human. After a while he lifts it up sideways revealing Charity. She then jumps over the desk just as Shelton jumps towards her, now they are right where the other was a second ago. Before Shelton can jump back though, Charity pushes the desk back to where it was before: which crushes the entire right side of Shelton's body as it falls back on the floor. She then runs out of the room} {Back downstairs, some troops have finally gotten into the lab, but Aka and Froggo are seen fending them off rather well. They are right near the door to the room where Loud is held in, so they can more easily hearing some muffled sounds being muttered by him} Aka: Hey, hold those nasty and useless weapons to yourself for a minute, we got something to show you. Froggo: What? Oh, oh yeah, we do have a former friend near here that would be just dying to see you guys. Whether he takes that literally is up to you guys of course. {Back in the room upstairs, Shelton has gotten the desk off of him, the skin on his right side is almost all gone and we can now see metal in place. He leaves the room and from far away, sees Charity about to go down the stairs to the first floor. A gun then comes out of his stomach and fires. We then see Charity going down the stairs} Charity: I'm coming, Lo- {She stops in mid sentence because metal rope has now gone around her waist tightly. Shelton then walks into view with the rope attached to his stomach. He walks down the stairs until Charity is right in front of him, still tied up. We then sees that this stairway is not too far away from the action downstairs which has Loud being thrown out of the room he was in to the shock of the agents nearby, the robots run away as this happens. Before Charity can call out to him, Shelton puts his hand over her mouth and creeps down the stairs, then hides behind them} Agent: Loud Kiddington, we'd almost forgotten about you! Thanks for refreshing our memory, remember this one? You're under arrest! Loud: No, I didn't kill her, she's not even dead! She's still alive, it was all a set up! Agent 2: That first part of that last sentence is new and very wrong, she's dead, doctors confirmed it! Loud: It was just because the real body, Miss Information, was made to look like her! Shelton make her look like Charity and she killed her too, like I said, it was a set up! Agent 3: You've cried enough of a river for one lifetime, just give up, okay? {Behind the stairs, Shelton is making Charity watch this} Shelton: See, you wouldn't have to see this happening if you had just let me kill you, as long as you're still alive he'll continue to say you are and it'll make him look a lot worse. I should let you see some more about the consequences of your actions, but I feel merciful today. {The rope comes off Charity and Shelton uses his right hand to grab her face so she can't get away. The other hand turns into a sword pointing at her head. Before it can come at her though, Charity's notices her hands are now free and then uses them to cover Shelton's eyes. The shock forces him to let go of her, but she instead lets go of Shelton's head and stands right in front of him He then prepares to stab her in the back with the sword, but he dives out of the way: and he winds up stabbing himself through his stomach instead. He collapses in pain. Back nearby, the agents are still talking with Loud} Agent: We have enough to deal with without you going talking conspiracy talk on us. You're going back to jail for murder, which for the last time, you committed! Charity:{V.O}You're right when you say the last time.{She runs into the scene. The agents look shell shocked by her appearance, while Loud is teary eyed} Loud: Thank you. Thank you for merle being a pawn in Shelton's game and not a victim. {Loud runs over to hug her...but someone punches him before he gets there: it is the work of Drawford} Agent 2: Mr Drawford, you're alive too! Drawford: I'm the only one of our newly arrived guests that is, because Charity is still dead, it's a trick! Agent 3: Then what's that? The last time I checked Shelton's specialty was robots, not ghosts. Drawford: It's disguises too, agent. That's not Charity, it's Shelton dressed as her. You know he used disguises to get those people to him, he's obviously capable of doing this too. Charity: Then how come I don't sound a little bit like him? Drawford: I don't know, but you a re a genius, you obviously thought of something. The evidence is clear, Charity is obviously dead, this is a trick, and for all the carnage going on outside, Shelton must be killed.{Gets out a gun and points it at Charity} Loud: Stop, don't let him do this, this is part of the set up! Shelton made him evil after he capture him, so he must have ordered him to kill Charity to get rid of her once and for all! Drawford's being controlled by Shelton, and he's gonna use him to run the FBI later! Agent 2: But he has a point, that could be Shelton, and that's one of our bosses, so what he says goes! He can''t possibly be evil. Drawford: That's right. You betrayed us all Loud by murdering her, but I'm still doing this for your own good so you don't really think she's alive and then have the downfall from the fact she's been dead all this time kill you too. Good bye, Shelton. Loud: NO!! {Drawford is about to fire at a frozen Charity, then a gunshot is heard, but it didn't come from Drawford's gun. It came from Loud, who has taken one of the agent's guns. Drawford falls down} Agent 3: You shot the FBI Director, now you are really under arrest! Charity: Before you do that, let me tell you that my name is Charity Bazaar, I;m 25 years old, I am a motivational speaker, and I was drugged by William Shelton the night of the murder. Plus no robot is out there looking like Miss Information, and she is not dead Loud, she was drugged too and is probably now screaming to be let out of her coffin buried 6 feet under. Agent: He or she's right about no robots being like Miss Information.{To the other agents}You take care of Drawford and Loud, you stay here with Charity or Shelton, I have to call my cousin at the cemetery to see if you're right. {Back behind the stairs, Shelton is now recovering from his self inflicted wound. He is standing up and looking at the scene nearby. His hands then turn into guns and he points them at Loud and Charity. He is about to fire....but his eyes then open wide in shock, and he soon sees that another sword has been driven through him. It then comes out of him and he falls again. He is then picked up by the thing responsible: Gene Burrows. He walks out of the scene unnoticed, dragging Shelton with him} Agent:{Taking on a cell phone}Are you sure you can hear screaming?! Well get her out of there and call an ambulance immediately!{Hangs up}You were right, someone is down there screaming from where Charity was buried. I'm sorry, Mrs Bazaar.{He then looks up to see Loud and Charity kissing} Charity:{Stops kissing Loud}What was that, I wasn't paying attention. Agent: Well I'm glad I was too busy to pay attention to that. Loud, you were right, I'm sorry to you too, but how do I know you were right about Drawford, he might have just been following instincts, anyone could have made the same mistake, we were about to. Loud: Leave here from the back way and take him to a hospital. When they operate on him, if they find a drug in his system, you'll know I'm right. If not, you can arrest me, I say that because I'm so confident there is a drug because Shelton told me. Oh, and I think I know how to deal with the robots too. Just put me through to one of the guys outside. {Back outside, one of the agents is talking through headphones to Loud} Agent: So if we do all that stuff, we'll distract them enough to shoot them? Loud: Yep, Gene and Shelton have used people personas to their advantage, now it's our turn to do the same. Agent: You realize we'll be killing your friends and your former co-stars, right? Loud Not really. After you shoot them, you guys have to pick up the bits and pieces left of them and put them in a bag, so when this is all over, you can rebuild them, then deactivate them so you can get them back in Shelton's tubes, then we can turn them into humans again. Charity: And don't worry about the pieces walking around and attacking, I've been Shelton's prisoner for 4 days and that's the only feature he forgot to put in. Agent: Well, okay then, anything's better than being killed ourselves. Loud:{Now talking to the agents inside}You guys had better join them outside. Since it looks like the others aren't trying anymore to get in the lab, all the action will be out there. Agent 2: But what about Shelton? Charity: I left him in bad shape, I think we can finish him off ourselves. Agent 3: Okay. Good luck, Agent Kiddington and Mrs Bazaar. Loud: Thank you. You can thank me some more by coming back alive. Agents: Yes, sir!{The three run back outside. The second they do though, Loud and Charity hear some loud noises from far away} Loud: What's that? Charity: I think it's coming from behind that door straight ahead, but we'll never know unless we go in there. {The two walk straight ahead until they come to a door. They open it and see an unexpected sight: two robots fighting each other, one of them is Gene} Loud: Hmm, I guess they decided to kill each other and save us the trouble. Robot:{In Harry's voice}I wish that was the case, then I'd be saved the trouble. Charity: Harry?! Robot:{Talking while fighting}Yes and no. I'm controlling the robot you see here through remote control, and I've been following Gene with this for a day. I just got in here while you were settling things with the FBI, and I've been fighting him ever since.{Gene then turns his fingers to claws and drives then through Harry's robot's forehead} Gene: You're just in time anyway, stay here and see the end of the battle before you join in for Part 2. Robot: Stay right over there guys, in case I do lose you'll need your rest. But I have ways to contradict that sentence. {The robot tackles Gene to the ground, then grabs him up and throws him to the wall. Gene gets up and gives the robot a few uppercuts until the robot kicks him. His metal toes then turn into claws themselves and he kicks Gene a few times, hurting him with the claws. Gene's head then comes out of it's socket, connected by a coil. His head then goes around Harry's robot's neck and the coil attached tightens around the neck. The robot then turns his hands into knives and uses them to cut the coil, dropping Gene's head to the ground. As the robot recovers, Gene's body puts his head back on his neck, and then sees the other robot still recovering. This is all the time needed for him to drive his sword of a hand through the robot. He then picks him up and throws him against the wall. Finally he stands on the downed bots feet and pulls the head off, with that the bot stops moving. The battle now finished, Gene goes over to the two human spectators of it} {Back outside, one of the officers goes into one of the few remaining cars and gets out the dispatch radio, then talks in it} Officer: Hey, this is 96.5 FM Radio, coming at you from a huge get together right nearby with the coolest celebs! And only a few of them are the $40 million dollar movie stars we have today, we're going back to the past with guests Elmer Fudd, Lurch, Leo DiCaprio, Jackie Chan, Richard Gere, Sigfried and Roy, Winnie the Pooh, Steven Spielberg, John Lennon's best impersonator, and much much more here at 1322 Maple Lane Drive.{We see pepper paying close attention to this fake radio broadcast} Pepper: Wow, all those people there are people I thought I'd gotten autographs from on the show! Hey, they're right near here too! AH HA HA, I can go over there now and capture some many memories from the good old days, and this time with a clearer knowledge of who I'm pestering! AH HA! {Pepper runs away, and is too caught up to realize that all the troops are pointing their guns at her. With the joy of possibly meeting celebs distracted, they all have no problems shooting her and blowing her robot self up} Agent: All right, start collecting the parts and take them back to headquarters!{Cut back to the car} Officer: Hmm, maybe I should turn on the radio after all, get some tunes in me and perhaps some other people. {The officer turns on the radio and the song playing is Stealers Wheel's "Stuck In The Middle With You" made infamous by it's use in the torture scene in "Reservoir Dogs" and a song that will be played for the rest of the scene. The song catches the attention of Froggo} Froggo: Yes, a song worthy of practicing my vocal talents on as well as my budding singing voice too.{Sings in a voice both clear and froggy all at once, leave this to your imagination}Well, I don't know why I came here tonight/I got this feeling that something ain't right/I'm so scared that I might fall off my chair/And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs. Toast:{Interrupting}Ew, that's a bad song, how am I supposed to boogie to that? Froggo: It's a song to dance to, not to rock to, a classy song not unlike the generic stuff you always play. Toast: At least my songs don't get used in movie scenes that give you nightmares like that one. Froggo: So like the song says, there is a clown to the left of me. Officer:{Coming into the scene}And some serious jokers to the right!{We see that several officers have surrounded the two as they were talking, they then fire at them and destroy them both. Not far away, Cho-Cho is about to attack another agents} Agent: Hold on, before you fire let me give you the money you want. Cho-Cho: What? Agent: All those weapons you showed us, you obviously have them for sale or why else would you show them off this much? I have $200 dollars here that I'd like to pay for them. Cho-Cho: Wow, an actual, though unplanned, sale.{Chit then runs over as Cho-Cho takes some money} Chit: You know, as your boss, 10% of that is mine. Cho-Cho: Sorry, I finally got a sale without bugging the heck out of people and I'd like the entire pay as my reward. If you want some maybe you should sell your weapons. Chit: Oh no, remember I'm not in the business, I just run it in this town, besides, these are too cool to give up! Cho-Cho: Not that dedicated of a salesman as you wanted me to think, are you? Chit: Let's not go there, I just want my fair share, give it to me!{The two fight over the money until they hear several guns cocking} Cho-Cho: Well, at least now we'll personally see why they always say you can't take riches with you at the end. Chit: What, you can't?!{The two are then hit by ray gun fire and blow up. Lucky Bob then runs over} Lucky Bob: Cho-Cho? No! Usually I'd be laughing that the last thing I just said rhymes, but I can't because she's gone. And I never got to tell her that..{He stops when he too sees guns pointing at him}Never mind, I'll have my chance soon enough, hi-oh and uh-oh!{He is blown up} {Finally we cut to Bill still on the rampage, until he hears a familiar voice} Female voice:{Sounding very old}Oh, you know you're so much cuter as a robot than as a human, and you know considering what you looked like as a human that's quite a complement! Bill: No, it can't be, you're supposed to be at a retirement home! Female Voice: Look, I'm the World's Oldest Woman, the Grim Reaper's tried to get me for the last few centuries and failed miserably, why would his luck change now? But my luck's about to change soon for the better with my new robo-toy, come here and let me see if you're as good at charming ladies as that Law guy in that box office flop about robots 14 years back. Bill: I'd rather see how much better I am at running instead!{Bill runs away but in a second he is blown up too. After the smoke clears we see a female officer holding one of those robot guns} Female Officer:{Sounding just like W.O.W}My impressions of old ladies keep getting better and better.{Now in a normal voice}Come on, let's finish the last two off!{All the remaining people cheer as they begin to walk towards the last tow robots, Sammy and Aka} Sammy: Um, I think it's cut, print, that's a wrap time for us. Aka: Really, you figured it out all by yourself too! {Back inside the lab, Gene is walking around Loud and Charity} Loud: So, how are we gonna end this? Charity: You know, I think Gene's the main villain in this thing, so shouldn't we deal with the secondary villain first? That would be Shelton, so tell us where he is so we can finish him and then get to you. Gene: He's in the room next to us where there's a vat of molten steel, that's there so he can get rid of any robots that won't follow his orders or are defective. He too is pretty defective now. Loud: Well, I feel like doing things easy for once, so let's go.{His way is then blocked by Gene's hand which is now a sword again} Gene: Not yet you're not. You want me first, so come and get me. I'll even give you a weapon of your own. Loud: I have one, the robot gun that will hurt you so I can deactivate you with the deactivation gun the agents gave me Gene: Come on, let it not e said I wasn't generous, you'd rather do this an easier way, so here you go.{His other hand disappears and from it a metal bar drops on the floor. Loud picks it up} Charity: Well, where's my weapon, I'd like to have an uneven fight in our favor here. Gene: None for you, only this {He pushes Charity hard to the floor. Loud then raises his bar to strike but the sword blocks him. They then start sword fighting although one of the swords is a bar. They then start talking, they shall continue fighting all throughout this conversation} Gene: I don't know why you want Shelton so much, he's an ungrateful swine! He tried to kill you before I could, he should show some gratitude to the thing that gave him fame! Loud: What? Gene: I have a confession to make. During our meetings I wasn't exactly leading by example. Loud: In English please? Gene: I wasn't honest with you during our time together. I wasn't rebuilt recently, I was built 8 years ago! Loud: Again, what?! Gene: Shelton found my parts 8 years ago and built me again! Right then and there he wanted to show people, but I convinced him to prepare a nice speech and make a party out of it. That only bought me time to stop him, and time to think as well. After I did, for the first and only time, I used a drug on Shelton. Charity: You made him evil. Gene: No, I only drugged him so he wouldn't tell anyone, I just told him to set things up so I'd have time to make the drug! I never made him evil with drugs, it was all under his own free will. I got him interested in robots, and played off his desire to change the world and create. Over the next few years he slowly became what he is, but again, all under his own free will, it was his own personality that did him in, I set up the fire, he lit the match! Loud: And you're responsible for making him want robots to rule too? Gene: That's what I wanted him to do, but I only dropped hints, he came up with the ideas himself, I never actually told him to believe that way. I only told him to start spewing his beliefs when they finally decided to build robots though. But you're still not getting it, yes everything that he did and came up with was originally thought up by me, but I never told him to do it. It was all in my mind, but he alone brought it all to life! I didn't tell him to frame Loud for murdering Charity, I only hinted at it! Charity: So you're not his master, he's only your pawn. Your pawn because everything you wanted him to do you only let happen so when we got you, Shelton would be so infamous we'd have an actual reason to talk to you so you could do the damage you did over the last few weeks! Gene: Here's a simpler answer. Everything that happened over the last 8 years involving Shelton and the last few weeks with us were all thought up in my head the first few moments I was reborn! The last 8 years have all led up to this moment! But Charity, you should should have know that a long time ago. Charity: Why? Gene: You personally have played a part in all this all by your lonesome. Jeremy and the stranger, those two guys you had a fling with, who do you think they really were? Charity: Really were? Gene: Try to remember what they sound like then figure out who they sound like.{Charity then starts to hear the voices of Jeremy and the stranger} Jeremy: What I can't figure out is who's giving who the farewell gift of silence? Stranger: You know, maybe the problem is you need to have more fun with this whole thing. Perhaps I can help.{Charity then hears one more voice} Shelton: At least now you know that they'll actually miss you when you really die.{Charity then looks crushed as the voices stop, realizing how similar all those voices are} Charity: Shelton. Shelton was both those people. Gene: He was starting out in the disguise business so I figured I could help by letting him dress up as a school student. The fact that he liked you and wanted to go to the same school as you was just a coincidence. And by the way, when you kissed him, he really did have a heart attack, there's no drug more powerful than the one of passion. Charity: And the stranger? Gene: Well, he needed help there. Drugs were involved in the second drink you had. Charity: He put a drug in my drink, that's obviously why I couldn't remember anything after that! Then he must have taken me to a house and put me on his bed to make me think we did something! Gene: He said later he was tempted to actually do something, but he thought that would be cheating. You already had the market cornered on that with him. {Loud's face is as frozen as stone as he drinks this all in. Gene then walks back towards him} Gene: I worked my mind full time to get here. I planned 8 years of plans for you two, I was dead for 7 years and I stayed in the background for 8!{Takes his word and points it towards Loud's neck}And I think I deserve a fitting reward for my efforts. {Loud stares at him for a few seconds, and then makes a outraged face} Loud: I agree. {Loud then hits Gene's sword hand with his bar extremely hard. After only a few blows, it is knocked off completely. He then clobbers Gene with the bar like a madman, Gene isn't even fighting back. He falls down quickly and Loud continues to destroy him. Charity watches Loud with shock, and notices Gene's just lying there and not doing anything about it. She then begins to hear more noises in her head} Gene:{V.O} Not to mention all your hostility towards me since we got reunited, you were never that mad before. I think you've changed quite a bit since we last met.{Charity then hears Gene saying something else} Gene:{V.O}I'm not one of a kind, I'm just a example of how evil and brutality can enter into anyone. I want you to learn that I'm not special, normal people, not just people like me, can go insane.{Charity then looks at Loud's sweaty, angry face once more} Charity: Oh my God. {Loud has now stopped beating Gene for a moment, he is in very bad shape. Loud then picks the bar back up and prepares to drive it through him} Charity: Loud, no!!{Loud turns around} Loud: No?! You of all people are saying no?! I have to kill him, especially after hearing everything else he did to us! {Warning: potential spoiler point for anyone who hasn't seen the movie "Se7en"} Charity: You can't. Remember the ending to that seven deadly sins movie? This is almost like that, you kill the bad guy, and the bad guy wins. Loud: But I'm not going to jail if I do this, this is self defense, even though he's not doing anything to stop me. Charity: Why is that? Think about it. Remember the meetings, when he told us about his past? I didn't know why he was doing that, basically the main point of our conversations was for us to tell about our past in return for Shelton stuff, that stuff about his past stuck out like a thumb, what was the point of it? The point was one thing he said. He said that anyone can be as brutal and determined to kill like him. Loud: And? Charity: And you should have seen yourself, you were angrier than ever before. And if he was alive for 8 years he must have known about those problems you had in school and with Miss Info, so why would he drive it out of you when he already knew? To set things up for this. And why would he use that stupid Scooby-Doo like method of just telling you everything and not killing you when he had the chance, he's too smart to do that. Don't you see? You're so angry right now you want to chop him up bit by bit, and that's what he wants. He wants you to be so upset you might never get out of it, and it looks like he was going to succeed. If you do this, you'll know what it's like to be him. It's what he wanted all this time, for you to become like him, even for a second, or maybe forever. {Loud looks at Gene, then at Charity, and then collapses to the floor in sadness. Charity holds him as he struggles to comprehend what he almost did} Loud:{Weakly}He's the evilest thing that ever lived, he planned to have so many people killed just for me and then you, he turned a man into a monster, he should die a horrible death...but I can't give him what he deserves after all. Gene:{Even weaker}Kill me, you know you can't let me get away. Loud: If I kill you, it won't be like this.{Gene struggles to get up but he does. No one notices that nearby, the Harry robot's body is crawling over to get it's disembodied head} Gene: So, you won't do what's right for the world and you're willing to waste 8 years of my best efforts. Well, changing the subject, knowing what you're capable of at any time must really hurt. I don't know how you can carry on with a career and a life knowing you have such a fuse that can easily be set off by manipulative criminals. I'd like to help you.{He turns his other hand into a sword}Charity, let the record show that he had a chance to fix this and he didn't, so don't look for someone else to blame after the tears stop. {Gene raises the sword: but before he strikes he is tackled, by Harry's robot} Robot: Run! I was able to get some power back into this thing during all these revelations, get out before I use it all! Go find Shelton in the next room, now! {Loud and Charity get up and notice a door to the right. They run towards it and go in the next room. Gene gets up and tries to flow, but the robot holds him back} Robot: I was going to say something now, but instead I'll say everything said about you a second ago was the complete truth!{Punches Gene}You made one mistake in all your planning Gene, you forgot to get me! You never contacted me or got in my way during those 8 years like you did with those two, if you had I might have been able to be tricked into sparing you, but you used all your talents on them and you have none left to get me!{Punches Gene a few more times and knocks him back down to the floor}Now for your last moments you've met your worst nightmare. An untouched, and therefore invulnerable outsider to your 8 year plan. {The robot stands right over Gene and leans down towards him: but then suddenly stops. We then see that a sword has been driven through the robot, but it is coming from Gene's stomach and not his hand. Just then, three more swords come out and stab the robot. The robot tries to push himself out of the swords, but soon stops moving, it has no more power left. The swords then go back into the stomach and Gene then pushes the dead robot off of him} {Cut to inside another room, there are only a few machines inside, it is tame compared to the other rooms. However, halfway through the room the floor stops and below it is a vat of molten steel. Loud and Charity are looking at it, then turns around and look around for Shelton} Loud: Dr Shelton? Dr Shelton! We know you're in here! Shelton:{V.O}Yes, I'm here. Charity: Give it up, Shelton, your plans are done. Gene's as good as gone, and the robots outside are being destroyed as we speak, if they haven't been destroyed already. Shelton: You do know who those robots really are, right? Loud: Yes, but they're not going to die. They're going to be rebuilt and then turned back into humans. If you would like to live to see that, you'll surrender right now. Shelton: I heard your entire conversation with Gene. If it's true, you'll be punishing an innocent victim, a pawn of a madman's plans. Charity: You weren't drugged to be evil, only drugged so you couldn't give him away early. And you know, knowing that you're just a pawn makes this a huge anti climax. You're ultimately just Gene's puppet and nothing more. Shelton: You're right about the stuff you said before that last sentence. I wasn't drugged to be made who I am. Gene may have helped me adapt my beliefs, but he never told me to do what I did! And I could have just not listened to him when he helped me out, I could have walked away and therefore this never would have happened, but I didn't! I chose to be who I am and that does not make me unimportant! I am smart, willing, and patient, plus I have the guts to stand up for what I believe in. You don't have to say it but you admire me for being brave enough to do this, to chase a dream no matter how many people believe I'm crazy. There are so few people like me left in this world, and I think that's for the worse, not for the better! Loud: Don't make yourself a victim of society, they'll just think you're more pathetic than you already are. Shelton: Oh, and one more thing, I know that you admire me too, Loud. I have never for one moment let people's opinions of me get to me, it only inspires me to prove them wrong. And what do you do? You become angry at times, and no matter what, you can't ignore what they say, maybe on the outside you can, but never once have you bee unaffected on the inside. You wish to a point that you were me, I know it. Subtract the robots and the destruction and all our meetings together, and I'm the kind of guy who you've always wanted to be. Loud: That doesn't mean I won't put you to justice. Shelton: I'm weak, Loud. I had a sword driven through me twice. I might have one more burst of energy left in me. I'm offering you the chance to not make it a violent one. Charity: If you allow us to arrest you, we'll fix you up before we put you in jail. Shelton: Why are you even talking? It only reminds me of our two most famous meetings before last week, and when I'm reminded of things it makes me want to talk about them. You know that will set Loud off and cause him to be violent, he'll kill me but before that I might kill him, and you'd be responsible for it all because you made me remember how good it was to feel your tongue in my month. Loud:{Struggling}No. You won't get me, you _can't_ get me, not after what I just lived through! Shelton: Fine then, violent outburst it is, thank you for choosing the worst time to be strong. {Shelton then jumps out behind one of the machines and tackles Charity, then throws her onto the floor. Loud then pulls out the laser gun, but Shelton's hand stretches out and grabs it before he can fire. He throws it away and then punches Loud. Loud gets up and grabs Shelton, and the two brawl for a few seconds. Then Loud elbows Shelton's head, but that hurts him, which gives Shelton time to have a steel mallet come out of his stomach. Loud sees that and then is hit on the face with it, knocking him backwards quite a bit. Shelton walks towards him and hits him again, knocking him to the edge of the floor above the molten steel vat} {Loud crawls to the left before Shelton can get back to him. Before Shelton can go after him, he sees something metal tapping him on the shoulder. He turns around to see Charity with another metal bar for a split second before he is hit on the head with it. He goes down looking weak} Charity: You just saw the downside of having machines built here, they always have spare parts. Shelton: Stop! Let me at least get up. {As he does get up, his hands stretch out and go around Charity's waist. He then uses them to pull her right in front of him. He then stares at her for a long moment before he sticks his metal tongue out. He then licks Charity's face with it ever so slightly, she is still repulsed though} Shelton: Ah, your face feels just as soft and lovely as it did 4 years years ago. A pity I'm the last person you'll ever hear say that. {His fingers turn into claws and he drives them into Charity. She falls and then Shelton takes the metal bar and throws it into the pit, it melts immediately. Charity gets up but Shelton then grabs her face and throws her back down to the ground. She then looks at Loud who is not going towards her, but rather is crawling away from the scene. Before she can call out to him, Shelton puts his right foot on her stomach and steps on it hard. She screams in pain, plus she can't get up. Shelton then raises his left hand, his fingers are still claws. He is clearly aiming to drive them into Charity's face} Shelton: Any final words.{Charity starts to speak but Shelton interrupts her}No, hold that thought. Hold that thought...forever. {Shelton swings his left arm back: and then sees laser fire whiz past him. He then looks at his left arm....to see that it has been blown away, it is gone. He then sees Loud holding the gun responsible for that, the gun that was thrown away before. Shelton walks around for a second in pain, he obviously now has very little life left. He stumbles to the edge of the floor, unable to stop himself. Finally, without even making a sound, he falls off the floor and is headed for the pit. He falls into it and begins to sink below the molten steel, and in a few seconds, there is nothing left to see of William Shelton, he has melted to his death} {Cut to the back of the room as we see Loud and Charity from far away. This is from someone, or something's P.O.V as we can tell because the image is slowly coming closer. We hear Loud and Charity talking as this something is coming toward them, both are on the floor} Loud: Let the record show I didn't kill him, I just blew his arm off, I didn't make him fall off. Charity: I know. I'm actually glad that for once you got to save me, I was getting tired of it being the other way around. Loud: I have a long way to go to make us even though. For that and so many other reasons, I missed you so much. There was a reason I said that you can forget your problems with someone so quickly when you think that person is gone. Charity: Now that it's all over, there's nothing left to stop us from fixing everything and returning to what passes for our normal lives.{Angry breathing is now heard as the thing comes closer to the two} Loud: I can't wait. And I can't wait to do everything else after that with you. I'm going to say it for the zillionth time in 15 years because it's still so true. I love you so much. Charity: You took the words out of my mouth. {The thing is now breathing very angrily as, still through it's P.O.V, we see it right behind the two. It then raises a metal ax} Loud: Now! {The two dive in separate directions before the ax comes down on the floor. The thing then looks to the left where Loud is: and he is pointing his laser at it. He fires it. We finally break away from the thing's P.O.V and see it's wide open red eyes, Gene's eyes, just before the laser hits and he explodes. The pieces that are left of him fall on the floor. Charity then runs over to them, grabs them, and quickly throws most of them into the vat below. She turns around and sees that the rest of the parts are moving around. They then jump towards her, but she dives away and they wind up falling into the vat. We then see Loud walking to the edge of the floor holding something: Gene's head, which is awake and able to see his body parts melting away} Gene: No! Loud: I beg to differ! {He then pulls out the deactivation gun seen in the first scene and fires it into the bottom of Gene's head. He screams for a second until his red eyes turn gray, now he is not awake anymore} Loud: Gene Burrows, if you were awake you could hear me say something I've dreamed of saying for the last few days. You're under arrest. Oh, and one more thing, you just got a taste of your own medicine. Charity: So that stuff you said was just to get back at him? Loud: All I'll say is, the truth is a powerful weapon.{Sighs}Come on, let's get out of here. {Fade to an overhead view of the remains of the battle outside as a reporter is heard, reporting} Reporter: This is the scene of just one of the beyond belief elements of today, the day which saw the end of an evil prophet, a human and a robot coming back to life, and a few other indescribable things we'll try to explain anyway. Basically the bare facts are, William Shelton is dead, Charity Bazaar and former villain Gene Burrows are alive, former TV stars were turned into methods of destructions, FBI Director Scott Drawford and former target Miss Information are recovering in different ways, and the aforementioned destructive former stars are already in the process of being rebuilt so they can be reborn. {Cut to the room where the H! cast were turned into robots. Inside those tubes, all the cast members are inside and are rebuilt. Loud is there too with a few bandages on his body. He is talking on a cell phone} Loud: Yes Mr Drawford, we are all sure they were rebuilt perfectly, we are just about to turn them back. We got the substance that was going to turn Shelton back to a human if needed and we duplicated it nicely over these last two days. Now get some rest, you've only had that drug out of you for 6 hours.{Hangs up}Okay, time to activate the drugs! {Loud pushes a button and a few seconds later, gas enters all of the tubes. Slowly, skin begins to cover the metal of the former people. In about 10 more seconds, everyone is back to their human form. Loud then opens the tube doors and when they do, everyone falls to the floor. They then get up groggily looking worse for the wearer. Finally they notice Loud} Toast: Hey Loud! Um, two things, 1, good to see you, and B, why don't _I_feel so good right now? Pepper: Yeah, where are we, and do you have an answer for his last question? Yeesh, I'm supposed to be the former queen of activeness and I'm not living up to my title right about now. Loud: Well, if you remember anything since about a week ago, you'll know why. Froggo: All I remember is a song and me trying to sing it without making people cringe. Bill: At least you have better memories than I do before I went blank. Aka: Loud, you're the FBI man around here, what happened, what did we do? Loud: Some things you shouldn't know about at this time, not after you just regained your humanity. But what I do know is that it's great to see all of you again. Sammy: Boy, we must have gone through some messed up stuff if he said something like that. Loud: And that means what? Sammy: It means I might just have a new project lined up for some of those guys that say we should do something other than sequels and formulaic stuff even though they proved that films like that make no money long before I got there. Loud: Um, right. Well, there's a van out back waiting to get you all fixed up and away from the press that wants to never let you forget what happened two days ago. You should go now, I'll catch up with you later. Chit: The press? Um, you know I don't know where I am, maybe I should look around and find out, I'll join you in a little while. Cho-Cho: Sir, it's been 15 years since the press wanted to talk to you, something tells me you might not mind waiting a few more minutes. Lucky Bob: Come with us sir, I'll distract you by singing a song. Chit: Fine, but if it's that nerves song I'll have more reason to get out of here. Lucky Bob: Dang. Um, do you guys know any other songs? {The revived people walk out of the room. Before Loud does too, his cell phone rings. He then answers it} Loud: Hello? {Cut to a hospital room as a hospital bed bound Miss Info is talking on a cell phone too} Miss Info: Is the three time hero too busy to have a chat with the one time victim? Loud: No, actually. Did the blood transfusion go well? Miss Info: Yep, I did lose blood when Shelton drove bullets into me as part of his cruel practical joke, but I'm all better now. I'll be able to prove it in a day or so when they let me out of here. Loud: That's good. Miss Info: Well that might not have been what you thought earlier when you first thought I was dead and not Charity. I'll bet you were pretty happy when you found out she wasn't dead but it looked like I was. Loud: To tell you the truth, I was consumed by happiness because she was alive, but if I had had more time, I probably would have been sad that you were gone. I mean, even though we've grown apart, we've been through too much for me not to miss you. Miss Info: I'm just glad you stayed alive to realize that, and I guess I have some apologizing to do for that whole Motel 8 thingie, since it was a part of Gene and Shelton's plan and not really your fault. Loud: I will say one thing about the plan, it gave me a chance to do a lot of thinking. I've been talking things over with Charity and some others over the last 2 days and straightening a lot of things out. I guess our altercations should be the next straightened out thing. Look, you were right a second ago, we have gone through different paths in our lives, but I no longer think that means we should make it look like we hate each other. I don't think I ever hated you and I don't think you hate me, so why should we live a lie? Miss Info: I don't see why. But with what we're doing I don't think we'll ever get back to where we were when everything got started. Loud: You're right, but those times should be remembered, not forgotten. After you leave the hospital you'll probably want to go on and give a lot of speeches to balance this new wave of unwanted popularity, but, well, maybe before then we can get together for a while for old times sake. You could probably use some time to relax before you have no opportunity to later. Miss Info: Now there's the considerate Loud I liked knowing. I'd be happy to, it would add on to the things you have to look forward to, since I heard about that little ceremony they're giving you tomorrow night, Mr Official Agent. Loud: Hmm, I guess the press is good for doing something other than pestering people after all. {Cut to the next night inside a banquet room. Charity, Harry, and the other H! members are there among the crowd. Drawford is speaking on a stage in front of them} Drawford: Exactly 24 days ago, I was one of the few that found out about the rebirth of Gene Burrows. Tonight all of us know about him and what he and the late William Shelton tried to pull over us, and tonight we honor the man who stopped it. Although he nearly ended my life in order to save it, I am proud to present the FBI's newest agent, here he is, Loud Kiddington. {Loud comes up on stage with everyone clapping. After shaking Drawford's hand he begins to speak when everyone stops applauding} Loud: Thank you. You came here to honor my officially becoming an FBI agent, but that reason will be made useless when I tell you what I'm going to tell you. When I do, many of you will think I'm a coward, others will think I can't take the pressure, still others will think I fell under the age old cliche of giving everything up for a woman. I'm sorry to inform you, but my stepping down from the FBI is for selfish reasons. If I couldn't handle the pressure and if I was a coward, I wouldn't be here. But there are some things someone deserves for being brave and a hero. A normal life for instance. I nearly lost a lot of things during these last few weeks and I would rather like to keep them. I don't want to be famous or to be the sole reason the public pays more attention to the FBI, I just want to settle down and live the last 5-6 decades of my life the way I want to, and I want to live them in peace without any trouble. For that reason, effective at midnight tonight, I am retiring from the FBI. I think I deserve it, and I know you think I'm right. Thank you for your time. {Later on, Loud is talking with Charity and Harry} Harry: Loud, are you sure you want to walk away from this? Loud: Yes, I'm sure. I just got things back together and I don't want the good things to come out of that to be a thing of the past. Harry: Well, you know I stand by you no matter what career choice you make. Which one will you make next? Loud: I don't know, probably some small time jobs that pay enough to get by, nothing too fancy. In other words, the exact opposite from what you'll be doing in the future. Now that they know about your remote controlled robot idea you'll be a marked man. Charity: Every science organization will want to be the one that has the man that gave the robot problem a temporary solution, and as that man Harry, you're going to have a lot of work to do. Harry: I guess I have been away from the really public eye too long, what better way to come back than with this? Loud: I won't argue with that, especially since that idea may have saved my life and conscience. Thank you Harry. Harry: No problem, though that's what it was. I'm just glad you're both okay. And now that I know that I can go back to work with two less things to worry about. Now if you'll excuse me I see some science guys back there I might be able to work over big time.{Harry walks away and Drawford comes into the scene} Drawford: And if you'll excuse me I have some goodbyes to make. Loud: Me first. Good bye sir, it was a pleasure most of the time to work for you. Drawford: Even though you were only an official agent for a few hours, I still think you're one of the best we ever had. The phrase early retirement certainly doesn't apply to you since you did more than guys around here since Hoover's last years. Charity: The exact reason why he didn't want to do anymore. Drawford: That's right. Now Charity, you take good care of that man, I don't want to tell tales about him in the future and not have him be around to be living proof. Charity: I will, I've done it for a decade and a half, a few more shouldn't be that hard. Loud: That's the plan.{Loud and Drawford shake hands again}Good bye again, sir. I have to go now and carry out the last thing you ordered me to do. Since I won't officially be retired until midnight, a few hours from now, I can do just that as a farewell gift to you. Drawford: To all of us, Loud, it's a gift to all of us, why else do you think I went through all that talk with the President. I made sure your last order of business will be secret, so go on now and be our secret Santa. Loud: Yes sir. {Loud and Charity leave. Cut to outside Shelton's lab as the two drive up to it in their car. When they stop, we see Loud holding a bag and preparing to get out} Charity: I'll be right here waiting for you when you're done. Loud: As if I'm surprised. I'll tell him goodbye for you. Charity: You can tell him I said goodbye to him, and remind him that I won't get to say goodbye to you for a long time. Good luck, Agent Kiddington, a name which I still have two hours left to call you. Loud: I'm sure you have a lot more handy after that which I'd like to hear.{The two share a long kiss}I'll be right back, loved one. Charity: That's a wonderful name to call me because it's so true. {A little while later Loud walks into the lab with the bag in hand. The lab is now completely deserted and all the devices that were there before are all gone. After walking down the main room and the room where he and Gene fought, Loud enters the room where the vat of steel is. He stops walking at the edge of the floor below the vat, then pulls out the contents of the bag: Gene's head, alive and well for now} Loud: Ah, you woke up just in time. Now let me explain something before you go on your latest rant. After Drawford recovered from being Shelton's slave he talked to the President. He said since you were the mastermind behind mostly everything Shelton did and considering your activities in the past, he said that you should be given the death penalty. And he also said we couldn't wait months to do it like usual, we had to do it now before you did anything else. Finally, he told her that I should be the one to finish you off, and it should be done here and not in jail where the public can see it, it must be a private, secret ceremony. So, Gene Burrows, by order of the President of the United States, you are sentenced to die right here and I have been ordered to carry it out. So this is not just a personal matter, it is mainly business and nothing you can take advantage of in your final moments. Gene:{Pause}Thank you. Loud: Come again? Gene: I will. Thank you for at least letting me have time to reflect on my life. The last time I died it was so sudden I had no time to look back on what I've done, but now I do. Loud: The last minute apology won't work on me. Gene: I'm not apologizing, I'm just thankful that I can look back on how we got here. Did you ever think that we'd end up like this? Even when this all began on that November day just before the beginning of the century, did you think in your wildest dreams that we'd end our relationship here under these circumstances? What surprising and cruel hands life has dealt us both, wouldn't you say? Loud: For the first and last time, we are in total agreement. But you have no one to blame but yourself for the fact I have more cards left to be dealt to me and you just finished playing your deck. Besides, Drawford remembers Shelton telling him that he was going to kill you as soon as you killed me and Charity, so you would have died anyway even if you succeeded. Gene: Well, I didn't want him to do that, but after you went away, I suppose I would have nothing left to live for so that would be considerate of him. He must be so nervous starting out in the afterlife, at least I can help him when you send me away. Loud: Okay, I'll do just that as a farewell favor to you. Gene: Wait! I still have one more card left in the deck in the form of the last words. You have to ask me if I have any, and what I just said is not going to be the last page I write for myself in the book of life! Loud: Fine. Any final words? Gene: Yes. I'm not going to die. I'm never going to die until you do. The only way I'm dying is physically, never emotionally. I'm remembered by you in everything you do and will ever do. Deny it now, but it's the truth, the actual truth. What do you think life would be like for you without me? Do you actually think you'd be slightly remembered by anyone without the adventures I created for you? Do you really think you'd be thought by anyone as anything but just a character on a failed, one note TV show without me? And, most of all, do you really have any delusions that you'd have Charity's love without me, it only started because I made you so sad and gave her a reason to spend time with you in the first place, I highly doubt that could have ever happened if you had your precious normal life. Everything you are, everything you will become, is only because you were marked for termination and I felt like making a lot of sacrifices to do it. You can never get rid of me, until you die I never truly will. And besides, if you ever become mean or do anything bad, you won't have anyone to blame because I'd be dead. You might turn out to regret killing someone that could have been a willing scapegoat for you. Loud: Now I have something to tell you that may surprise you. The winner of Survivor 13 was announced tonight, and him and the other 12 winners, they have nothing on me. I've taken everything you threw at me, and I wound up being right here, alive. If I can do that, I can do anything. You also made one crucial mistake in all your schemes. Do you want to know what? Gene: Why even ask when you're going to tell me anyway? Loud: Well here I go. There are people other than you that know me. That was the thing you forgot to think about. Because there are other people that know me who don't share your views, I have gotten over everything I couldn't get over by myself. If you had figured that out, you might have gotten somewhere, but you didn't, so I have won and you have lost. Gene: So this is truly it then. Listen closely, for this is the best complement you will ever get from me, the only one too. Looking back on things, you were the most worthy foe I could have ever found. The challenge of destroying you was the most fun I ever had, and the most creative thing I ever did. Loud: That's not much of complement, but then again if you were good at those, you wouldn't be here. Now, if you're done, I have a special lady waiting outside for me that I don't want to keep waiting any longer. Gene: All right. There are two friends of mine waiting for me where I'm going, one hasn't seen me for 8 years and the other, as I said, needs my help in fitting in. I'll tell them you said hi and that you hope they burn nicely. Loud: Fitting next to last words Gene, fitting next to last words.{He throws his arm back and prepares to throw the head of Gene over}Good bye. Gene: Good bye Loud Kiddington...for now. You'll be dead eventually you know. I'll be waiting patiently for you to join me. Loud: I think I'll have better living quarters than you when that happens. {Loud throws Gene's head away and it falls towards the vat of molten steel. It lands there a few seconds later. Loud watches the head slowly sink below the steel, Gene looks at him calmly as this happens. Finally the eyes are the last thing to disappear below, Gene Burrows is finally gone. Loud continues to look at the vat, and finally we can see a little trace of a smile on his face as he realizes that it's finally over. He then turns around and walks out of the room to join Charity outside} {Cut to underneath the molten steel as the remains of Gene's head are melting away. The last things to go are the eyes, which we now see through for one last look at Gene's P.O.V. Through his P.O.V, he is looking at an image, the image of Loud a second ago. This is the last thing he ever sees as the picture begins to turn into static like on a TV. A second later, the static disappears. Only blackness and nothingness remains, Gene and the story have reached an end} THE END Here are the voices you can imagine talking while reading this hopefully epic tale.
