| {Fade to later as Loud is almost at the White House, staring and thinking
of what is to come. Outside the gate, the mob 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! {The angry citizens get even angrier at seeing him, 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, and he's alone. Good, because if just he and Charity die, I will consider letting go of power even though Miss Info and Harry aren't dead, you two are who I really want. Morre: Should I send the remaining troops just in case? Gene: No, tell the others to go home, we don't need them anymore. {Inside the tent, the other soldiers are resting, until Morre's voice is heard} Morre: Attention soldiers! Gene and I are about to finish the targets ourselves, so your services are no longer needed! I can't say it's been a real pleasure leading you to failure after failure, but go home and good luck to all of you. Andrea: Phew, it's about time! Now I can go back and lead a normal, housewife life. Tress: Oh, I'm so glad it's all over, although life may never be the same if he takes over, at least I don't have to do any grunt work anymore. Nathan: You will, you all will if they fail to kill them! I can't let us go down like this, we've failed at every attempt, and I think we should go and try for one final success! I'm not just saying this because I want them dead too, but do any of you want to go down as members of the most inept army in history? Female Soldier: Now that you say that, no. They win and he enslaves the country, I don't want to be part of the army that let it happen. Nathan: And do any of you?{Everyone nods no}Good, because I'm taking command of this army and I'm going to make sure we don't go down like that! Let's instead go and be the army that saves the world like we were supposed to! Who's with me!{Everyone cheers}Then let's move to the White House! {The army, with a new determination marches out of the tent. Fade to behind the White House, as the others are on the back lawn} Sammy: Okay, we're here, now what? Harry: Now me and Miss Info use grappling hooks to climb on the roof above. Froggo: Why can't we go with you? Harry: Because those remaining soldiers will get a little suspicious at seeing more than 10 people on the roof of the White House, but for two it's less likely, since that mob is getting larger. You find a way in front out back, and we'll use Smartypants's special hearing device to head above the Oval Office and hear what's going on. {They split up. Head back for another view of the even angrier mob} Bladder:{V.O again}As you can see, everyone's in a panic over what could happen if Dr Burrows fails, skeptics are saying it could lead to war between us and the countries looking to overthrow him, and some say it could lead to the end of the world. Of course, most of that group are the same people that thought Y2K would bring about the end, but still that doesn't lessen the seriousness of all this. We have 3/4'ths of an hour left, all we can do is watch, wait, and pray. {After one final view of the mob and the soldiers, we go back to the Oval Office} Gene: Well Charity, your boyfriend will be here any minute, and we'll be ready to make it his first, and last visit to this office. Vincent, when he gets here he'll likely open the door a tiny crack to sneak up on us, when he does that, grab him. {Morre nods and heads for the door. Outside the room we see Loud running and stopping at the Oval Office door. He is about to quietly open the door, but then he stops and thinks. He then smiles. Inside, Morre 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 Morre and knocking him down. Loud sees Morre down and then sees Gene's back turned to him. He rushes to grab him, but then stops as Gene turns around and points another gun at him} Gene: I wouldn't move another step if I were you. Loud:{Harsh}All right, where is she?! Gene: She? Could you specify that, because there are a lot of "shes" that work here, and I'd like to know which one you're talking about. Loud: You know what "she" I'm talking about, WHERE IS CHARITY?! Gene: Oh, her! All you needed to do was say so.{He walks to the side to reveal Charity still tied to the chair} Loud: Charity! Thank goodness you're all right, other than being tied to a chair. I'll get you out!{Gene then points his gun again before he does} Gene: I said not one more step, didn't you hear me?! Or has being exposed to your loud voice destroyed your hearing?! Loud: So now you have us right where you want us. But, I think there might still be some faint spark of humanity left in you. Morre: Don't listen, he's using one of those talk the villain in converting to good and letting him go trick! Gene: No, let me hear. Why do you think that way? Loud: Because I know how much you want to kill Charity, and yet you haven't done it yet. What's stopping you? Hopefully an attack of conscience. Gene: Wrong!{He grabs Loud and moves his face right into his}Because I wanted you to witness your final, most painful act. You feared she'd die if you told her you loved her, now I want you to see your fear come true. You can't deny she wouldn't be in this if you hadn't told her, in that regard you're the real murderer here, once again, as usual, this is all your fault. Loud:{Low}No, it's not. Gene: What? Loud: You're lying, it's not true! Nothing you've said about me is true! Because I led myself to believe it was, my life was nearly ruined from thinking that I caused all this. You almost took away all that was good in my life for saying those things that did seem true at the time, but they're all horrible lies, I fully realize that now. Charity: That's what I've been saying since I got here. Loud: Right, you helped me realize that nothing he says about me is true, and I've had it with him trying to convince me otherwise. I'm officially taking my life back! You know what's the evilest thing you've ever done? The fact that you had me believing your accusations, that's the worst thing of all. Gene: Very well, have it your way. It doesn't matter anymore, because it won't be long till you're no longer alive for me to do it. Vincent, if you're recovered from that collision, hold him for me please. {He gives Loud to Morre and he holds him} Gene: Now, before I put an end to your miserable life, I'll try once again to kill you emotionally first. This time, with Charity as the recipient. {He pulls out another weapon: it's a drill, the one used to drill nails. He turns it on. Before Loud can react, Morre covers his mouth} Gene: Quick thinking, Vincent. You've eliminated the only thing that could possibly stop me now. Morre: Enough talk Gene, it's only delaying their long overdue fates. Do it now. Gene: Right.{To Charity}I should be doing this in a hurry to eliminate the possibility of escape, and not do it slowly like idiotic stereotypical movie villains, but still I'm going to do it slow so I can savor this moment. {Gene slowly walks towards Charity pointing the drill at her. The noise it's making seems to be getting louder as it comes closer to her. He stops in front of the chair and moves the drill slowly towards her forehead. Loud tries to protest but with Morre's hand covering his mouth, there's nothing he can do. Charity's eyes are widening as the drill comes closer, then closes her eyes tightly, preparing for the intense pain. A tear begins to form from Loud's eye as he watches the drill moves inches away from her....} {...but just then a part of the roof breaks right behind Gene, leaving a not too large but noticeable hole in the roof. He puts the drill down and looks at the hole puzzled...until someone jumps through the hole and is headed straight for Gene} Gene: What the he-{he's cut off as the person lands on him, knocking all the wind out of him. We now see who it is, it's Harry} Harry: It's not nice to swear.{He punches him and he is knocked out cold apparently} Morre: No!{Lets go of Loud}He was this close to killing her and you come here just as victory was in our grasp! Why I'm gonna....{he's cut off as someone behind him hits his back with a chair and he goes down cold. We see it was Miss Info who did that} Miss Info: You're going to take a nap, that's what you're going to do. Harry:{Tosses her the now turned off drill}Here, put this away so they can't use it when they wake up. Loud:{Shocked}I thought I told you guys not to come! Harry: It was her idea, myself and the others just came along for the ride. Miss Info:{Untying Charity}You shouldn't complain anyway, if we hadn't dropped in, she would have died. {Charity runs over and hugs Loud tightly} Loud: You're right, in any case I'm so glad she's okay and not dead. Charity: And I'm so glad you finally shook off his insults and past once and for all, and that I played a great part in helping you do that. Loud: We can discuss that later, what'll we do with them? Harry: Well the others are in this building as we speak. Let's tie them up with this rope before they get here. {Harry picks up the rope, but the minute he touches it it makes a beeping noise, and it begins to burn. He quickly drops it and the rope burns to nothingness} Harry: Drat, only Gene could come up with a kind of rope that would burn at our touching it. Miss Info: What do we do with them now? Harry: I guess we lock the door, get out and get the others, hopefully they'll be out long enough for us to do that. Let's go. {He grabs Charity's chair and follows the others out of the office. When outside he puts the chair in front of the door and runs away with his friends. Back inside, Gene and Morre get up} Gene: Oh, you used that pretend you're knocked out to hear what they're up to trick too? Morre: Yes, so now that we know their plans, what do we do? Gene:{Looking out the window}Well, your soldiers from the tent disobeyed orders to leave and are on their way here. Why don't you send them in here officially to capture the others? Morre: I'll do just that, and should we enlist their help in finding our targets? Gene: Absolutely not, this is between them and us. Now let's get them together, as it should be.{Gets out his army gun and blasts the door open} {On the first floor of the White House, the others are wandering around} Toast: Um, shouldn't we be doing something other than just walking around, dudes? Smartypants: We are, we're heading for the Oval Office to meet up with the others. Once we do, Gene and Morre will be totally outnumbered and ready to be overthrown from power. Pepper: Come on, we can take that elevator.{They runs towards said elevator, but then we hear something whiz past them right above them} Froggo: I hope that was just a huge fly that flew past us. Nathan:{V.O}Wrong! Now prepare to meet Mr. Laser blast!{A laser blast flies towards them again but they duck out of the way, however it blasts the elevator door and most of the elevator} Smartypants: Come on, we have guns now, use them! {The soldiers run into view and aim their guns. However, once they shoot their lasers, the Histerians shoot their lasers and they deflect of the army's, doing no harm. They continue doing this. Most of the army's shots are either deflected by the good guys or hit the tables and furniture} Nathan: Enough! Let's stop destroying White House property and get them! They can't shoot their guns without us firing first for fear of killing us.{The soldiers run towards them} Smartypants: Come on, we have no choice but to fire now! W.O.W: I don't know, I know we have to but I've never killed anyone before and I swore not to change that. Aka: That's probably what we're all thinking right now. Smartypants: We don't have a choice!{Nathan comes up and grabs him} Nathan: And whatever choice you have now is gone.{We see the other soldiers have the Histerians at gun point}Bring them outside, Dr Burrows and Mr. Morre will take care of their friends. {The soldiers walk out of view with their captives following. A second after they are out of view, the others come into view} Harry: Oh dear, looks like a donny-brook broke here. Charity: Do you think they got captured, I think they did. Morre:{Behind her}Too bad you all won't live long enough to find out. {Morre grabs Charity, and from behind him Gene comes up to Loud and Harry. He grabs them before they can move towards Charity, however Miss Info is able to get to him and tries to hit him. However he ducks from her punches and runs off, but Charity wiggles her arms from his grasp and covers his face. Shocked, he lets her go, and through his P.O.V, we see him finally moving his arms from his face and seeing her get away} Morre: Oh no you don't, you're not escaping doom twice! {He runs as fast as possible towards her. She is about to confront Gene, but Morre grabs her and throws her across the room onto a couch. He then walks towards the couch, puts her on the floor and steps on her stomach to prevent her escape} Morre: Now, where were we before? Ah yes, I think we were at the point where I finish you off.{Gets out a regular gun and points it, but then his eyes widen and he turns around to see Loud holding his leg. He bends down and Loud lets go, then he hits him. He starts a series of punches, forcing Morre to stumble backwards} Loud: How many times{hits him}do I{hits him again}have to administer these defenses{hits him a few more times}for you{starts to him him with every word he says}to leave the girl I love alone?! {Morre finally falls and hits a steel door. He falls cold for real this time. Just then Gene walks by, noticing the damage he did} Gene: Well done, Loud, I must admit, well done. You know I've taken your recent words into thought and I've realized, we're very much alike, you and I. Loud: I find that very hard to believe. Gene: Believe it. We're both judged very harshly by the world, you for your voice and I for my often hostile methods of revenge, but beyond that, all we want to do is do good for the world and for the people we know best. Loud: But your good is evil, you still think that you'll be making it a better place if we die and the only person you know best you'll be helping is your equally sick friend Morre. Gene: Well in that we're different, and also in this way. Only one of us can live at 4:00 to continue our doing good. Miss Info:{Coming up behind him}And that someone is him, and you'll have to go through us otherwise! Charity: Everyone grab him and repay him for all the "good" he's done! {The four friends all jump onto Gene and bring him to the ground. They begin unleashing another assault of punches and assorted other fighting moves as they "repay" him. But Gene moves his free left hand towards his belt, and presses it. Just like that, he fades away without a trace and the others land on the ground} Loud: What in blazes happened, where'd he go? Charity: I saw him pushing his belt, do you think that's another one of his inventions that he stole? Harry: I can't tell whether he stole it or made it himself, but either that was an invisibility belt, or it was some sort of matter teleportation belt that got him somewhere. But we should get out of here before we find out which, the others are still in the army's possession! {From behind them, Morre gets up groggily and prepares to charge at them: until a small rumble is heard} Miss Info: Did you guys hear that?{Another rumble is heard, only a bit more louder. Two more rumbles are heard one by one and the ground begins to shake} Harry: That sounds all too familiar. {Two more louder rumbles are heard, the last one knocking over some lamps and vases. From outside the soldiers and the Histerians come out of the White House, and are knocked to the ground from the rumbling. Just then a shadow droops over them} Charity: Well it was a matter teleprompter all right, and now we know where he teleported himself to! Loud: We've gotta run, but where? I think we're near the East Wing and we don't know what direction that thing is headed. {As if to answer the question, a large pointed leg comes stomping into the ground behind them. From outside we see the giant machine with its front right leg inside the White House. The soldiers look on with glee, while the Histerians look scared. We go back inside} Harry: There's an answer, it's coming to the left, let's run to the right!{They run away from the leg, running past Morre. He runs after them, but they are too focused on running away from the leg rather than noticing him. The leg rises up from the ground} Miss Info: Look, we're almost at the White House front door!{We see the front door not too far away} Charity: If we can get out of here, we'll be a little bit safer!{The leg comes down into the ground just behind them, causing them to fall. A very large gun with a large square barrel comes out of the leg, but it doesn't shoot at the good guys, rather at the door. We see a steel door land and stick onto the regular door. Our heroes run towards it} Loud:{Pulling on it with Harry}This thing won't budge! I don't think we can get out now! Harry: There is one other thing we can do. Duck and cover, it's firing at us now! {We see another large gun come out, only more regular looking this time. It's just below the surprisingly still intact ceiling. It begins to shoot at them, but of course misses. It then stops for a second as they run farther from it} Miss Info: Hey look, it's stopped for now! Charity: So let's take advantage of it, find another way out of here.{They run farther away, but Harry stands still and runs the other way} Loud: Harry, what are you doing? COME BACK, YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!! {Loud and the others run after him, quickly catching up, about 30 feet away from the leg} Miss Info: What did you do that for?! Harry: Get down on the floor, quick!{They duck down and then a large laser blast streaks 10 feet above their heads, and lands at the spot they were in a few seconds earlier, laying waste to much of the area} Charity: I get it, you ran that way to avoid that large blast! Harry: I'm sure glad you like me enough to follow me and avoid being blasted yourself. Loud: We'll have to do it with you again, another one's coming!{Another blast is coming that way above them, and they run away straight ahead. However, they're blown back from the blast this time and land on the ground hard} Miss Info: That didn't work as well this time, what else do you have up your sleeve? Harry: Hold it, I'm feeling something underneath this rug.{He feels the rug they're on and pulls it out of the way to reveal a solid steel door with no doorknob} Charity: Figures something like that would be here, and quite fortunate, cause judging from that gun, another blast is coming. {Harry pulls out a small crowbar and tries to force the door open just as another blast comes at them. He then gets it open} Harry: Come on, get in quick! {They quickly dive into wherever the door leads to and close it just as the blast hits it, but surprisingly the door stays where it is, unmarked. Morre comes over and looks puzzled over what just happened} Morre: No fair, that was hardly the place to put in a trap door! I guess I'll have to do this myself. {Morre gets out a lockpick and uses it to open the door. He then climbs down a very huge steel ladder, and as he does so the door above slams shut. Cut to Gene inside the control room of the spider} Gene: What's with that door, why didn't it break?! Well, even if it is hard to crack, I can just drive my leg through the ground next to it to get them.{Pause}Wait, Vincent just got under there. I think I'll wait a few minutes so he can get a shot at them, I doubt he'd kill them before I got a shot. But I'll keep trying to break that door to get them nervous. {Below the ground, the good guys are in a very large warehouse like room with many many boxes} Loud: Boy, I'm beginning to see why it was so hard to get in this place, I'm betting this is where they store the things they don't want the people to know. Miss Info: I thought they did that in Area 52 or wherever those Z-Files agents work in. Harry:{Looking at the boxes}He's right, these contain such things as files for the JFK murder, the Ark of the Covenant, and Walt D*sney's cryogenic body is probably here somewhere. Charity: As tempting as it is to unlock the answers to all of histories conspiracies, we'd better find some way out of here.{A large rumble is heard and they look up to see the steel door cracking, although it's actually the very tiniest of cracks} Harry: Boy, I would have thought that thing would have been broken by it doing that. They _really_ don't want anyone seeing this. Loud: Let's help them and find a way out before it does. {Back outside, the spider continues to drive it's leg through the steel door, but with no success. The soldiers watch this} Stacy:{To Nathan}I have a question, if the real action's going on there, what are we still doing with them? Nathan: Before we get rid of them, we'll let them watch their friends die first, one of Dr Burrows's favorite tactics. Soldier: He'd better get them soon, I don't know if we can hold these guys for 25 more minutes. {Froggo, being held at gunpoint by this soldier, notices a pen and a piece of paper in his back pocket. He then gets an idea} Froggo: Hey Mr. Soldier, do you have a pen and a piece of paper I could borrow? Soldier: What do you need that for? Froggo: In the unlikely event I'll be alive after being shot, I'd like to try to write a will. Soldier: Hmm, I suppose it's only fair. Yes, I do have those items.{Pulls them from his pocket and drops his gun}Here you go.{He sees Froggo run away}Hey, hey, come back here, you little sneak!! Andrea: I'll get him!{Aims her gun at him, but stops paying attention to her captive, Aka, and she tackles her. Soon the soldiers are confused and disoriented, and the Histerians get out of gunpoint range to face them} Soldier: Wait, why are we even paying attention to them, they pose no threat to Dr Burrows anymore. Sammy: It's not wise to underestimate what we can do, how else did we escape from you all this time? Nathan: He's right, we can't take chances, shoot them now! Aka: Oh, you're too scared to take us on without your guns? Afraid we'd beat you senseless? Nathan: Of course not! Smartypants: Then prove it, it'd be more satisfying and it'd help redeem your blundering image. Nathan: Very well, everyone put your guns in a safe place and attack! {They do so and charge the Histerians. We watch briefly various one on one battles between a soldier and one of our good guys, and most of the good guys are winning. One unseen officer does not seem to be battling anyone, and then he/she notices Sammy. The soldier turns around and we see who it is: it's the nerdy fanboy from the original that hated Pokemon. He looks angry at seeing Sammy} Nerd: YOU!!!{He charges at Sammy and hits him, though it's not doing much to hurt him} Sammy: Haven't we met before, I never forget someone with a weak left hand. Nerd: We fought in that last angry mob battle and you tramatized me by saying what would happen with Pokemon! I just found out you lied about two of those three things you said, now you're gonna pay! Sammy: Well, I did get word that Pokemon will be merging with the original Batman and... Nerd: That doesn't work anymore! You've also crossed the line by creating a show that put the world at risk! If he conquers the world, I could kiss TV shows to overanalyze and the Internet in which to do so goodbye! Sammy: But all I made was one mistake! I don't think it's me that you want, our head of programming or whatever, Mr. Sellner is the one you want to blame. He destroyed your favorite Kids WB shows and made Pokemon run around the clock, not me! Maybe you're trying to use me as a substitute for what you'd do to him, and no offense, but you can hardly afford to get more nerdy and isolated. Nerd:{Breaking down}You're right! Oh why did Kids WB and all their classic shows have to be ruined and conquered by Pokemon?! WHY??!!{Sobs} Sammy: There there, maybe you can get him back by getting a real job and work your way up to eventually become head of the network and amend these horrors. Nerd: I can do that? Sammy: Yeah, it's certainly better than going on the Net overanalyzing cartoons all day, and I hear comebacks score really big in the all important ratings category that'll please your superiors. Nerd: You're right, I'm gonna get a real job and take over the network that needs a true fan to rebound from horror.{Imitating the AOL voice}Goodbye! {Over nearby the other soldier are battling and losing. Nathan can't take it} Nathan: That's it, no more fair fighting!{He picks up his gun and prepares to fire, but W.O.W grabs it herself before he can open fire}Oh brother, please I don't need to do battle with a woman as old as time. W.O.W: I may be old, but I've learned a few battle tactics. Like this.{Kicks his knee}And this.{Bops him on the head}Oh, and this one's really good.{Takes out her teeth and uses them to bite his nose} Nathan: Ow! Give me that gun!{Takes it quickly from W.O.W}Let's see if your teeth can save you from this! {Before he fires, Cho-Cho comes up and taps his leg. He turns around angrily} Nathan: What do you want?! Cho-Cho: Hey mister, you don't want to use that gun to shoot him.{Hands out her gun, which is smaller than the others}This is small, but it's very powerful and you would want to make this more painful after what she did to you. Nathan: You're right, if that's an offer to use that gun to do it, I accept.{Puts down his gun and takes hers, then stops}Wait a second, this is how this battle got started in the first pl.. {He's cut off as W.O.W, using Nathan's old gun, shoots a net at him and covers him. He rips through them quickly, and looks very irate as he comes up to Cho-Cho} Nathan: That was a very dirty trick.{Grabs her}I guess we'll have to see now how you like it!{Before he can do whatever he's going to do to make that point, Lucky Bob taps his leg} Lucky Bob: Um, I can't let you hurt her. She's my friend. Nathan: And what are you going to do to stop me, my mentally challenged friend? Lucky Bob: This.{He jumps onto Nathan's face and he lets go of Cho-Cho. When we see Lucky Bob get off him, his face is battered and bruised}Ta da! Muldoon:{Calling out to Nathan}Are you okay? I can send my soldiers to help. Nathan: No, keep that mob in line!{Looks at the battle and then at the spider}He'd better get them quick, that's all I can say. {Back at the warehouse, the rumbling below the foursome continues} Harry: We can't stay this lucky much longer, that'll break through any minute. We've got to find a way out of here that will lead out of the White House. Charity: Even if we do, we have only 20 minutes left, how'll we overthrow Gene and avoid that spider in that short time?{They walk past another crate, but this one happens to have a familiar figure in back of it} Miss Info: Thinking about it makes my head hurt, let's just get out of here first. Loud: This entire area must be below the entire West Wing, I suppose we'll just have to...{he's cut off as a gunshot is heard and he stops abruptly, then screams in pain} Charity:{Panicked}What happened, are you okay?! Loud:{Strained}I've...been shot in the back. Harry: But how? That leg hasn't come in yet and as far as we know Gene's still up there. Miss Info/Charity:{Obviously both knowing who else could have done this}Mr. Morre.{Morre comes out with a gun} Morre: Surprise. Now stand still and you'll ensure you three will be with forever...in the afterlife! {He shoots his gun at then and misses narrowly. Harry picks up Loud and they run quickly behind another crate} Harry: Wait, why are we running from him, we can take him. Miss Info: Because he has the gun and he shot Loud. Harry: You two fix him, and I'll fix that gun problem.{He comes up and walks to face Morre} Morre: You're either very brave or very stupid, you know I can kill you with one shot. Harry: Is that all you can do? What else can you do to me, Vincent? Bop me with an expensive maltese falcon? That would be risky since that'll lessen it's value. Or are you gonna use 3-D effects to boil me into wax and use me for a wax museum? Well, they probably would have that here.{Morre looks more annoyed at these references to his namesakes}I got it, you're going to send a man made guy with scissors for hands to get me! Well, then again that guy was anything but evil and wouldn't do that to anyone that didn't deserve it, but you get the reference. Morre: Forget the gun.{He throws it away}I'll kill you with my bare hands! {As if possessed to be true to his word, Morre unleashes a series of punches to Harry's head and stomach. Harry hits him back with a short series of punches and then grabs him. Morre gets him off him quickly and pushes him away, where he collides with a crate. Meanwhile far away, Charity is tending to Loud's injury while Miss Info watches the battle} Miss Info: Charity, you stay here and help Loud, I have to help Harry. {Harry is now dodging Morre's punches and kicks and is getting some wind back from earlier. Morre seems to be swinging at air as Harry ducks from his fist} Morre: Stand still and fight like a man! Harry: Okay, if you insist.{He starts hitting Morre with punches of his own. He hits him with his left and hits him with his right a split second later. He does this for a second or two then kicks him in the stomach, then in the knee and he falls} Morre: Well, I suppose I asked for that. Harry: Yes, you literally did ask me to do that. Morre: And you've also given me reason to do this!{He grabs his legs and pulls him down to the ground. He then sits on his back, grabs his hair, raises his head and then slams it to the ground} Miss Info: Stop! Wouldn't you rather have me, Vincent? Morre:{Gets up}You're shockingly more stupid than even I thought. Do you really think you can beat me in a fair fight? Miss Info: Well, why don't we find out? {She punches him twice then starts to kick him. But Morre responds quickly with his own blows to the head. He moves forward to grab her but she grabs him first and brings his head down onto her knee. Harry goes over to join her as Morre gets up. They both swing their fists at him, but he ducks just in time. He then dives in front of Harry. Miss Info then tries to hit him, but he ducks again and winds up hitting Harry instead} Miss Info: Oh no! Harry I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Harry: You can make it up to me by looking out!{It's too late, as Morre grabs them both and bangs their heads together. They go down woozily. Morre steps over then and prepares to make another blow with his right arm, but as it swings back, a pair of small arms grab the arm. The owner of the arms, Charity, then twists his arm backwards. Morre howls in pain} Morre: OW!!!! My arm, my poor arm, thank goodness it's not severed, it sure felt like it!{To Charity}Come here, you.{He grabs her with his other arm and runs towards the crates}Why is it everytime I forget about how much I want to kill you, you have to go and muddle in my trying to kill someone else and make me want to kill _you_ again? There must be something here that'll get rid of you. {Morre then spys something: it's a cryogenic freezer, exactly like the one seen in "Plan Brain from Outer Space" And wouldn't you know, the man inside is none other than Walt D*sney himself} Morre: Yes, this will do very nicely.{He opens the freezer and pulls out D*sney's body}This guy was preserved pretty well, lets see if you turn out the same.{On the freezer control panel, he sets the number of years from "The moment D*sney Studios loses its control on animated movies" to 10,000 years, then sets another monitor from "Purpose: Preserve Body" to "Purpose: Freeze body to death"}Though I doubt it with these orders. Harry:{Running into view with Miss Info}Charity hold on, we'll save you! Charity: You know, I'm getting sick of being the girl in distress here, I'm hardly someone who just stands around in danger, whining for the hero to save her. Allow me to demonstrate. {She frees her arms from Morre grasps and squeezes his right arm. Morre whinces from even more pain from the arm, and he lets go of her. His head goes into the freezer, and Charity closes the door on it very lightly on his neck, but enough so he can't get his head out. They then run away from the now on freezer, then Morre pushes the Off button on the control panel and his head is released from the freezer's grasp, but his head is freezing and his teeth are chattering} Morre: Brr! T-t-that's it, n-n-no more fair f-f-fighting!{Finds his gun lying nearby}They just don't get the point, one or more of us have to die before 4 PM. And since I have no intentions of dying today...{he's cut off as the rumbling from the spider leg gets louder. The good guys turn and notice that the steel door is almost broken} Harry: Oh dear, that leg is gonna get here any second, let's get out of here!{From behind, Morre points his gun as the still trio} Morre: As I was saying, since I have no intentions of dying today, you people will have to make good substitutes.{The leg then finally breaks through and comes into the warehouse}No, no, not now! Harry: Let's go!{They run and head for the crate where Loud is}Loud, do you think you're in running shape again? Loud: Well, Charity pulled the bullet out and put Band-Aids on my back to control the bleeding, but even without that I still don't have a choice with that thing there, so the answer is yes, let's go! {They resume running away as the leg resumes it's firing on them, this time with regular sized laser blasts} Miss Info: Hey, what's that ahead of us? Charity: Gasp, it's a ladder just like the one back there!{We see said ladder, right in front of another wall and leading to the ceiling} Harry: Do you think this is a way out of here? Loud: Do we really have a choice to find out? Miss Info: No we don't, we may as well climb it.{They head in front of the ladder and start climbing. Morre notices them} Morre: Oh no you don't!{He runs up and starts climbing the ladder too. Back aboard the spider, Gene is looking on at the ladder his enemies are climbing on} Gene: Hmm.{Turns to a computer}Computer, get me the schematics of the entire White House, specifically to where that ladder leads to.{The computer does so, Gene looks at it for a second and smiles}Well, what do you know. How very...nostalgic. {At the ladder, the good guys reach the ceiling, a door is right above them on it. Harry pulls out a crowbar and forces it open, revealing another ladder in what looks much like an elevator shaft. But with no choice they continue climbing. With that the spider's leg lifts out of the room and the spider moves to the right. Inside, Morre is following right behind the heroes. Finally, they get to another door on the ceiling. Harry forces it open again and climbs onto the surface of wherever they are...which turns out to be the roof of the White House, with the spider's head facing them 30 feet away} Miss Info: Oh no, not again!{Climbs onto the roof} Loud:{Gasps}Why did it have to be a roof again like how it ended last time?{She climbs on, then Charity does. Then another square gun comes out from the spider's forehead. The foursome run away from the still open door and then it fires it's steel door. Morre's head then comes through the entrance} Morre: Ah ha! I have you now!{Sees that the steel door is coming right at him}Or maybe not. Gene: Vincent!! No! {It's too late. The steel door covers the roof door, hitting Morre on the noggin and forcing him to fall all the way through the shaft and back into the warehouse. Thankfully for him there are crates below him, so instead of falling on the ground dead, he falls onto the pile of crates and is knocked unconscious. Gene looks at his limp form on his monitor} Gene: No, Vincent! Oh, either he's dead or he's unconscious and it's hard to tell which! And if he's dead, and even if he isn't, it's gonna be harder than ever to convince myself that it wasn't my fault. For once, I can't help but feel that someone else's pain isn't my fault, especially when that someone is the only one that understood me.{He lowers his head and then rises it quickly, looking very angry}Well, in any case this is the last straw in our long sad history of last straws!! It's time to end it all! {Gene opens a door on the floor and goes down a hatch. On the roof, Harry tries to pull off the steel door} Harry: Well the sticking power of these things haven't changed. We're stuck here again.{Just then below the spider's head, a mouth opens wide and Gene comes onto the roof} Gene: Well, I hope you people are happy. You just played a part in the possible killing of a most undeserving man. If you truly understood the horrors Vincent Morre went through as I did, you wouldn't think of him as a foe who deserved what just happened to him. Loud: So sick minds truly think alike, eh? Gene: Enough! You may have gotten rid of one threat, but you've increased the desire of another to kill!{Pulls out a Viking like sword}This is for you, Vincent! {He swings the sword at them and they run away. However, Gene is more determined than ever and it's only by luck that the four are able to get out of the way in time. Below them, Nathan is watching them through a pair of binoculars} Nathan: It's not fair, he's this close and they keep running away. Well, I'm going to have to fix that.{Gets out another gun} Muldoon: Wait, you can't shoot them? Nathan: I know that, I'm going to trap them with the net, then they can't get away and he'll be able to chop them to bits.{Aims the gun and prepares to fire} Smartypants: Stop, you can't do that! Nathan: Why can't I, why _shouldn't_ I?! I'm doing this for the country, for the world, and for myself. All 274 million citizens of this country would agree with me. Besides I need to play a part in their deaths, they killed my family!! Sammy: Oh yeah, I remember, you complained about that in the first meeting. You originally wanted to kill Gene for killing them, but Morre's story convinced you we did it. Nathan: And I still do, so move out of the way or you're next! Out! Father Time: First, tell us something. What is your opinion of Gene, what do you think of him now? Nathan: I don't like him, I mean he has the right idea, but he's using the wrong methods to carry it out, endangering everyone in the country like this to get them. W.O.W: And what about your commanding officer, Mr. Morre? Nathan: I feel real bad for him, but he is a bit rough and too critical of us. We're all just citizens with no army experience, and he doesn't take that into consideration of our performance. Smartypants: And they both have one thing in common, they've ruined their lives in pursuit of vengeance against us. They were both once good people, now they're evil villains, it happened to them, and I think it's happening to you. Nathan: Me?! Father Time: He's right, they were both normal people that used pure evil to get vengeance. You are a normal person too, I assume, and you're beginning to use evil to get your revenge. Nathan: But I'm also helping the country get back it's freedom! W.O.W: That's just what Gene would say. Do you want to turn out as evil as he was? Nathan: No, no I don't. Pepper: There's another key difference between us and him. We never meant or mean to hurt anyone, if we could have prevented Gene's descent into madness we would, whatever hurt we did we certainly did not do intentionally. But all the things he does are intentional, he means to cause people pain to convince them to kill us, and kill people too to do that, like he did to your family. Nathan: I guess he did, didn't he? Smartypants: Yes. If you continue the decent into madness like he did, you'll become just like him. Do you want to be like the man who really killed your family, who built the giant spider to do that, and who killed them and many others and put the country in danger just to kill 4 people? Nathan: No..no.{Begins to break down}Oh, you're all so right! The worst thing is that I was actually helping the man who killed my family. Helping a murderer!{Sobs}Why, why did I have to believe him?! W.O.W: There there, he has that affect on people. But you can still take your life back and not have it turn into his own. Nathan: You're right, I can, and I will! Pepper: Ah ha ha, this is even better than "Ricki Lake"! Muldoon: So what do you want us to do now, sir? Nathan: Drop your weapons, put them away. Aka: Wait a minute, can't you use those to capture Gene? Nathan: No, he obviously has ways of getting out of his own creations, and he probably would also self destruct these guns like what happened to Muldoon's original gun. Your friends are the only ones that can save this country now. {Back on the roof, Gene is tiring, but is still swinging his sword at his enemies but still missing. Now he tries to take a shot at Miss Info, but before he does Loud jumps onto his back} Gene: Get off me! You should be savoring the few extra seconds you have left while I'm chasing them! Loud: You should know me better than that by now. Gene: Very well, you once again asked for it!{Begins to raise his sword at him} Loud: You can't do that, I could very well jump off your back and you would wind up stabbing yourself. Gene: Oh drat! Well, in that case I'll have to use the old fashioned approach. {Gene puts his sword in his left hand and with his right tries to pull Loud's right hand off, but he moves away from it and wraps his arm around Gene's neck, choking it. Gene then puts the sword back in his right hand and tries to pull off Loud's left hand, but he moves it away, releases his grasp on Gene's neck, but then he wraps his left arm around his neck} Gene:{Struggling to speak}Oh, enough of this, I've got to use two hands to get rid of you!{He puts down his sword and tries to pull him off, but that only tightens Loud's grip on his neck, and worse, Miss Info then picks up the sword and throws it away, where it lands on the ground} Gene: My sword, no! This was your plan all along, wasn't it?! Loud: You catch on quick. Gene: When I get you off of me, I'll shut off that scheming brain of yours for keeps! Loud: Don't you get tired of making empty threats?{Now more angry, Gene continues to try to get Loud's hands off his neck. He then tries another approach and hits him on his back: and on the very same spot in which he was shot. Loud then lets go and screams in pain again} Gene: Well well, not so cocky now, are we? Hmm, from the looks of it, Vincent got you good down there. Looks like it's up to me to finish the job. {He then kicks him on that same spot. Loud screams again but his mouth is covered by Gene's hand} Gene: I think we've heard enough from that oversized mouth for one lifetime. Let's make that your final yell. {He then runs away still carrying Loud and for good reason, the others are giving chase. Gene hits him again on that spot, then squeezes it harshly for a while. Loud's screams and protests are muffled by Gene's hand. Gene then stops running about 10 feet from the front ledge of the roof and puts Loud down on the ground. He then kicks him again and then again until he's a few feet from falling off. Gene, obviously enjoying this very much, leans down for the final blow. Loud is in a lot of pain} Gene: Your time has at last come, my foe. Now witness the final blow of my long overdue revenge!!{He winds his arm back to land the final punch, but his arm is grabbed by two small hands, once again belonging to Charity} Charity: I tried to warn you this whole thing was a mistake. But now it's happening in a way I hoped wouldn't come true. I said that when you tried to kill me, he'd get you first, well now I've gone from being the threatened to the threatner! Leave him alone!! {She tackles him and they go down on the ground. She then lands a short series of blows to the head, but Gene then quickly pins her down. Gene then tries to pull something out of his pocket, but Charity grabs his hand to stop him. He's able to pull out what he's looking for however, it's another regular gun. Gene and Charity fight for control of it. Charity then grabs onto Gene's hand, but it still holds on to the gun. She forces it to lower however, and she takes one of his fingers, puts in on the trigger, then makes it fire} Gene: OW!!!! You shot my foot! My foot's been shot!! Charity: Hey, technically you pulled the trigger, I just helped. Now let me help you again, help you end your life! {She kicks his foot and rolls him closer to the ledge of the roof. Gene tries to get up, but he goes down again from the pain on his foot. Miss Info and Harry then come up to help her, and together in a final effort, they roll Gene off of the roof. However, before he falls, he is able to grab on the ledge and, just like last time, is holding on for his life} Charity: I don't think we should just let him hang on like last time, one of us will have to throw him off this time. I'll be that one. Gene: Not if you're dead first.{He raises his right hand and grabs Charity's leg, then throws her off the roof, but he grabs on to his right leg before falling} Miss Info: Charity! Climb up here, I'll save you!{Gene raises his left arm this time and hits her legs, causing her to slip and fall too, but she grabs on to his left leg, causing Gene to slip a bit himself, from the weight on his leg and the pain from his foot which she's holding on to} Harry: You had the right idea at least, Miss Info. Climb up and _I'll_ save _you_.{Unlike Miss Info however, he backs away so Gene can't grab him. Miss Info begins to climb up Gene's body and is soon almost back on the roof, but Gene then turns his head and head butts her, causing her to fall off and she's barely able to grab onto Gene's foot again to prevent from falling} Harry:{Running up to Gene}Hold on, Miss Info, I'll get you!{He then realizes that he's close to Gene again, and he then hits his knees and he falls, but he's able to grab on his left leg right below Charity. Gene is very close to falling off. Loud then finally gets up to face him} Gene: Welcome back Loud, in case you haven't noticed, I'm about to fall to my death and take your pals with me. Haha, isn't it painful? To save the lives of your friends, you're going to have to save my life too. Just gutwrenching that you have to save your worst enemy to save your best friends. However, I'm going to spare you from having to do that and just fall off now. Ta ta.{He's about to let go, but Loud quickly grabs his hands and is barely able to hold on to them} Loud: You're right, it is ironically painful to save you, but for them, I'd save Hitler! Besides, you'll probably be dead soon enough. Climb up quickly, guys! {Harry quickly climbs up Gene's body and is onto the roof in seconds. Gene then looks down at Loud's hands and moves his head towards then as if to bite them and make him let go, but Harry grabs his head and holds it tightly. Miss Info then starts to climb up herself. In a few seconds she's able to get back onto the roof. Charity then tries to climb up himself and puts her right hand onto Gene's shoulder, and her left hand is then grabbed by Harry, who helps her up onto the roof. Then with everyone up, Loud pulls Gene up himself} Gene: Pant, pant, wait a minute, I thought you were going to kill me, not pull me up. Oh well, guess it's time for me to take advantage of your last act of stupidity.{He starts to get up but goes down quickly from standing up on his hurt foot. Miss Info and Harry then pick him up, and Loud and Charity climb onto their backs and help lift him too} Harry: As you may have figured out, we only pulled you up so we could get rid of you together, as it should be. Now we're going to do what we should have done a long time ago! Good bye Gene, and hello to the return of democracy in our country! {They then throw him off the roof together. Gene screams as he goes down, and lands to the ground rather awkwardly and painfully. The remaining Histerians and army rush up to his limp form} Toast: Whoh, that was a real nasty and painful fall. Ew, he looks really hurt.{Nathan checks for a pulse fow a few seconds} Nathan: His pulse just stopped.{Triumphant}Ladies and gentlemen all over the country, Gene Burrows is dead! {The mob of citizens, the army and our heroes on the ground cheer loudly and excitedly. On the roof, the four good guys jump for joy} Miss Info:{Hugging Harry}We did it! And with a good 10 minutes to spare! Loud: Way to go back there Charity. Thanks for saving me back there.{Hugs her} Charity: Why would I have done anything else? Loud: Ow! Just don't hug me too tight, that back still hurts.{Back on the ground, everyone is hugging and cheering. Nathan leans towards Gene's face} Nathan: Good bye, and good riddance, you murderer.{Just then, Gene eyes incredibly open wide. Nathan backs up in total shock and fear. Gene then slowly gets up. He then walks towards the wall and even more surprisingly, climbs up slowly up the wall all by himself} Nathan: He's, he's alive, it can't be! And how's he able to climb like that? Pepper:{Gasps}Ohmigawds, look at his foot!{We see Gene's hurt left foot, there is a lot of red on it, and we see the red is beginning to change color. His right hand, also covered in red, is beginning to change it's color too} Smartypants: What's going on, not even I can figure out why this is happening, and for that matter, what's happening.{He then looks at Gene's foot again and gasps in terror}Oh, oh my goodness, it can't be, it can't be! Nathan: What can't be?{He looks up}Gasp, he's a, a, a...look out you guys up there!! {On the roof, our heroes are shocked and puzzled at what's going on. Just then Gene's head rises above the ledge, his left hand is holding on to it. But when he raises his right hand, the sight is uncomprehendable and terrifiying....the hand is now mechanical. It's now complete solid steel and his fingers are also no longer human but scaly and robotic. He jumps onto the roof and the sight is even more terrifying, most of his left leg is now metal, and any other part in which he was bleeding from the fall is metal too} Harry: No, this can't be what it looks like, but it is! You're a, a, a robot! Loud:{Very nervous}Okay, okay I know the trick, this must be a robot, but this can't be Gene itself, he probably got away and sent this thing to finish us. Okay Gene, we got the trick, where are you? Gene: I am Gene. This is a part of my final experiment. You see, when I was at Smartypants's lab, I tried to think of some ways that I could come back to try again to kill you if I died. So, I created a machine that combined all the parts of a human with all the power of a robot. Miss Info: So you were a robot all along? Gene: No, the machine would only work after I died. When I died in human form, the affects of the machine would take over and release my robot form, so I would come back to life as an all powerful robot. I gave up my humanity for the one thing I loved most, science, and now with it, I will take away the things I hate most, you four. Thanks for killing me and giving me this power to succeed this time, by the way. Loud: No, no, it can't be, it can't be not over, not after such jubilation from your supposed death! Gene: Oh don't worry, it'll be over soon enough, but this time in my favor.{Suddenly a gun comes out of Gene's stomach, revealing more robotic flesh. But the gun soon goes away}No, no that would be too simple. I think I'll use a more original trick for you. {He pulls off the human flesh on his other hand and both robotic hands soon go away...and then are replaced with metal axes. The arms then stretch from their sockets, attached to separate metal coils which are in turn attached to where the hands used to be and rush after our foursome. They run away from the axes which are now swinging at them, and Gene isn't walking a step} Miss Info: How are we supposed to get away from this, there's no escape from this roof! Charity: Hey, there's an option right in front of us, but it's not a very good one.{The open mouth of the spider is now is front of them} Harry: You're right, going in there isn't a good alternative.{The left axe swings at him and he ducks, barely avoiding it}But we have no other choice! {The good guys run into the spiders mouth. It's full of empty metal space largely except for the ladder leading to the closed door of the control room, and behind that, a regular door. Harry gets out his crowbar and forces that door open, then they run into wherever that door leads to and close it just as the axes reach them. They try to chop the door open with no success, until the arms go away and back into their sockets. Gene then walks towards the mouth himself} {Inside, the foursome are in what appears to be the center of the spider. There are working gears and engines and elaborate settings everywhere. They look awestruck at the sight} Harry: Wow. Hard to believe such work and insight was put into such a monstrous and destructive device. Charity: Well, there may be the possibility that we may have to destroy this elaborate stuff to stop Gene once and for all. Loud: She's right, we have to think of something. We could barely defeat him when he was human, what'll we do now that he's a powerful robot? Miss Info: First, we run!!{Gene is now seen right behind them. They run just as he's about to grab them. His arms disappear again and are now replaced by hacksaws. Our heroes then notice another ladder behind them leading to another door} Charity: Now we climb up this ladder, come on! {They start to do so. Gene swings at them once and misses. Then, his head stretches out of it's socket, and connected to the bottom of it is another metal coil like the ones from earlier. The head then stretches out some more and stops in front of Loud, who is at the top of the ladder with the rest behind him. He tries to climb up, but Gene's head hits his head and he almost falls, but holds on to the handles. He tries to dive below the head, but it hits him again below his own and he almost falls again. Then, he jumps off to the right and grabs onto the ledge of the hallway above the ladder. He then climbs onto it. Gene turns toward him and the rest then climb up to the hall while he's distracted. They then open the nearby door and close it quickly before Gene's head can get in} Loud: Quick, lock that door so he can't get in!{We then see the room they're in is the control room} Miss Info:{Looking around}This must be where he's controlling the spider. There must be something in here that can help us. Harry: Charity, guard the door while we look around. There must be something in these computers and anywhere else in here that can give us some ideas on how to stop Gene. Miss Info: Isn't that what I just said? {Outside the door, Gene listens in on their conversation} Gene: Well, I suppose it's time they knew. Better very late than never.{A noise comes out of his robotic stomach much like a printer, and a piece of paper comes out. He then slides it below the door inside the room. Charity is the first to notice} Charity: Guys, come over here, I found something!{They surround her to take a look} Harry: This must be a map of the entire structure. Hmm, there are various rooms everywhere, the engine room, the parts room, the....missile room? Charity: That must be where he shoots all those weapons that came out when this all began. Harry: Yes, you're right, but look at this. There seems to be a drawing of a missile located on where the missile room is. Why would that be there, we already know it's a missile room.{Just then another piece of paper slides through the door} Miss Info: Maybe this'll tell us the answer.{Looks at the paper}Hmm, these look like blueprints for a missile all right? Why would he show us this? Loud:{From behind}Oh no, I think I just found the answer, look!{He runs up holding what appears to be an open diary, it also looks like it was found in a drawer underneath the console, since a drawer is open below it. The date shown on the page Loud is showing is February 20'th} Harry:{Reading the page}Dear Diary, an important part of my plan has finally been completed. By releasing the nuclear energy from the substance Smartypants was using to create clean nuclear energy, I've combined it with the nuclear power of the missile I made and it now finally has the power of....two atomic bombs?! Charity: That makes what I just found worse, look!{She shows them the missile blueprints and points to a time on top of the missile which says "Fire at 4:00 PM Thursday} Harry: No, it can't, but it is! He doesn't plan to rule the city if we're not dead, he plans to destroy it! Loud:{Catching on}If we're not dead he'll fire that missile and with the power of two nuclear bombs it would destroy the city, and us too! Miss Info: Wouldn't he get killed too? Charity: He probably would have some way of escaping, then the remaining public would think he died too and he'd get away with what he's done!{Gene then barges through the door} Gene: So you stumbled onto my little plan. Now don't look so shocked, you should know I have no interest in domination, I only used that as an empty threat to get them to kill you! And I figured if they couldn't, I'd do it myself and take the whole city with you as punishment for failure. Harry: You've, you've finally gone completely insane, you've lost your mind! Gene: Technically I have, since my human brain has been replaced by a robotic artificially intelligent one. Now I think you should surrender, isn't it better for 4 people to suffer than millions of them? Loud: We're not surrendering. You're going down for good this time and this city's still gonna be standing at 4:00 even though we'll still be alive! Gene: Fine, if you want to do this the hard way and endanger millions of people{his fingers disappear and are replaced with robotic claws}so be it. {He charges at them trying to slash them with his claws, but they run. He goes up towards Miss Info first, who punches him but she only hits solid steel which hurts her hand, and then it's grabbed by Gene's. He's about to put his claws through her wrist, but Loud throws the diary at him and it hits his head. He lets go and goes after Loud. At the control console, Harry is looking through the drawer, finds a microphone, and plugs it into a nearby outlet} Harry:{Speaking into the microphone}Attention! Attention everyone below, this is Dr Harry Norman. I'm here to say that Gene was lying when he said he'd take over the country if we didn't die! If we'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! {Gene then tackles him from behind, but he slips out. Gene then resumes battling our heroes. Below, everyone is beginning 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} Harry: No, no don't! You'll kill them all! Charity: I think that's the point.{Harry tries to charge at him and get him away from the console, but he pushes him away hard and he falls to the ground. Back below, everyone is starting to run, but the Histerians are, unlike everyone else, running towards the back of the White House} Smartypants: 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 him and follow him, 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. In back of the White House, the Histerians and many tens of citizens are there and okay} Woman: Well, you were right, we are okay, but shouldn't we leaving here?! If that bomb strikes and we're not out of the city, we'll all be dead! Smartypants: I know, but there's no way to leave the city from here in 7 1/2 minutes. All we can do is pray and hope, and pray some more. {Inside the spider, the good guys are running as fast as possible from the control room} Harry: According to those blueprints, the missile room is at the far right of the spider, the very last room. We've got to get there and disarm it immediately! Miss Info: Do you even know how to disarm a bomb, I certainly wouldn't know. Harry: I'm not sure I do, but we have to find out. We have only 7 minutes, we can't let anything stop us! {Just then the head of Gene flies over them and stops in front of them, coiling like a snake. It then hits Harry's head and knocks him down. Miss Info then grabs it and tries to stop it from going near him, but is not succeeding. The head then lifts above the ground more and, still holding on to it, Miss Info then finds herself above the ground too. The head then shakes and she lets go and falls. It then turns towards Loud and Charity. It goes towards Loud first and it starts to fly around and around him, wrapping it's coil around his neck lightly. It then tightens it's grip, strangling him. Before he continues though, Harry rushes up with a metal plate in his hands and drives it through the coil. The coil breaks apart and the head let's go of it's grip on Loud's neck and falls to the ground} Charity: Loud, are you all right, can you breathe? Loud: Well, it's less pain than others I've suffered through today. Where did you find that plate Harry? Harry: We're in the parts room, all around there are parts of devices, scrapped devices and future devices. That was just one of the options I had to choose from. Miss Info: Someone grab that head before the body comes back!{She moves to grab it, but a pair of robot hands grab it first. It's the hands of the robot body, and they put Gene's head back into it's socket as if nothing happened. The body then walks towards them} Harry: Everyone, there are parts everywhere! Metal seems to be our only defense against him, get any part you can! {Harry picks up a metal bar, swings it and hits Gene's head, forcing it backwards. When it turns around, it reveals that his right eye is gone, and replacing it is a red robotic one. He swings the bar again but Gee grabs it and they struggle for control. The head then stretches out again, attached to a new coil as good as new, and moves toward Harry, but is hit with another metal plate held by Miss Info. The head moves towards her and tries to hit her, moving very fast, but again and again she blocks his way with the plate and he hits it. Then, like what he did with Loud, the head goes down and flies around her legs, wrapping his coil around them. She then goes down from it} {The head then flies back above her and a small hand comes out of it's forehead and puts a pair of goggles on it's eyes. They then fire two gunshots at her head which she moves away from at the very last second. It then prepares to fire again and does, but the bullets hit another metal plate that is held by Loud above her head. Charity has one too. Gene lets go of his grip on Miss Info and glides toward the kids. He fires shots at them but they block them all with the metal plates. Gene fires again and this time Loud swings his plate like a tennis racket, hitting the bullet which then fly back at the head and goes into it's forehead. Gene winces in pain, though not as much as a human would under the circumstances, and his head returns to it's socket. He then pulls the bullet out} Harry: Thanks you guys, you've given me time.{He is holding a whole pile of parts}Take these and throw them, quickly! {The others grab all the parts they can from Harry's hands and throw them. However, Gene is still coming at them, the parts just seem to be taking off more of his human skin} Loud: This doesn't seem to be working, but I've discovered a better approach, look!{He points to two ladders leading to another hallway above them to the left, and to the right}Split up and grab more parts and climb! {They do so, grabbing parts everywhere. Gene looks at them all split up and he can't decide who to get first. He then decides on Loud and runs toward him. Once he gets near him, Loud throws another metal plate in his face. He stumbles a bit then recovers to see Loud carrying many parts like a football. With his other hand he climbs one of the ladders to the right. The others are climbing the ladders too. Loud is on the top of the ladder but before he goes on the hallway, again Gene's head glides in front of him} {With his free hand he gets another plate and uses it like before to stop the head from hitting him. But the head then goes below him and stops behind his head and hits him there, he narrowly drops the plate in time to prevent himself from hitting it. He puts the parts down on the hall and uses his free hands to grab the head as it moves towards him again, but like it did with Miss Info, it moves higher off the ground and Loud is off it too. He's about to throw him onto the ground again but then stops. Loud then lets go landing onto the hall. He sees that a small metal leg has gone through his back. His head goes back on his socket and he pulls it off} Charity: Hey Gene! I'll bet you're wondering who did that, well, you're looking at her! Come and get me!{He walks ominously towards the ladder}Okay, now!! {She throws all the parts she has at Gene, and he stumbles. Harry then throws his parts and then Miss Info throws hers. Loud catches onto what's going on and throws his. It's raining parts on Gene and he goes down to the floor and the parts cover him completely. The others come down} Loud: Nice going Charity, you must have used the old "throw the metal leg at him while the robot's distracted then when he comes over throw the parts at him" trick. Charity: Actually I think I'm the first to come with it, but we can discuss it later. Let's go quickly while he's down. {Back outside, an air raid siren is blowing all over the city. Everyone is either trying in vain to leave by car, or like most people, running, though it's hard because there are so many people. In the Ronald Reagan Airport, everyone is trashing the place trying to get to a plane, and in more than a few planes people are storming inside demanding to be taken out of Washington, but these planes are more than a bit full. It's like the apocalypse has come, and technically, for the city, it almost has, and it shows} {Inside the parts room, Gene's robotic hands break through the pile of metal on him, and he gets up. But with one difference, all the human skin on his body is gone, he's completely robotic. The top of his head is steel bald, there are robotic teeth showing, basically the design of the robot is much like the original Terminator. His feet then disappear and are replaced with roller skates, and he skates out of the room very fast} {Now we see the Histerians and Harry entering another room. It's largely deserted except for a missile at the left of the room, the very missile seen in the blueprints} Harry: There it is! We have only 5 1/2 minutes, let's get to work!{They rush towards the missile} Loud:{Looking at the timer}Hmm, this timer doesn't seem to have any buttons on it or anything, so we can't press something and make it go off anytime other than 4 PM to buy us time. Charity: Isn't there some soft of hatch that will reveal all the wires and such? Miss Info: Found it!{She opens a hatch at the read end of the missile to reveal all the trademark wiring of it} Loud: So, how do we do this? We don't know if there's some specific wire to take out, and taking out all of them seems a bit risky. Miss Info: Why don't we just grab that shiny green container inside?{She points inside the missile to a small container in the center with a green light glowing. The container is connected to wires everywhere} Harry: That must be where he's storing the nuclear energy! Now we've got to take those wires off before we pull it off. Charity: What's that noise?{A noise like a chainsaw is heard outside the door. Just then the door breaks open and Gene comes in, his hands have been replaced this time with chainsaws} Gene: Step away from the missile. The only way that thing's not going to go off is if I tell it to, and the only way I'll do that is if I see your rotting corpses. Loud: Not if we pull out that nuclear container first!{He reaches inside the missile and stretches his arm to touch the container, but when he does he is shocked by electricity} Gene: Like I said, I'm the only one that can stop it. Anyone else that touches it will be shocked by the electricity of those wires. Now would you like to surrender since your only other chance to stop it is gone? Harry: Well, I guess we'll just have to destroy the spider itself. From your diary and your blueprints, if that thing explodes in any other way than landing onto the city, it won't do any nuclear damage. Gene: Sadly true, I haven't found a way to have it cause a nuclear explosion in any other way than having the bomb strike the ground, but you can't destroy such a powerfully large, brilliant machine. Not when it has tricks like this to stop you. {He pulls a lever nearby and the entire floor, except for the floor beneath Gene and the bomb, flips over, and the good guys land in another room below} Loud: OW!! Where are we now? Miss Info:{Looking at the blueprints}We're in the second floor of the spider, at the bottom of it's stomach in other words. Charity: Well we've got to get back up there...and also run!{We see the roof above them is now flipped halfway, and Gene jumps onto the floor. His hands go away once more and are now replaced by what appears to be metal wires} Harry: What are those supposed to do?{Pause and then he starts to back away}Um, I shouldn't have asked that because then you'll show me, right? {Gene nods and the wires move like a whip and strike Harry, shocking him with electricity for a second before backing away. The others begin to run out of view} Gene: You can run, and you can try to hide, but I know every nook and cranny of this place!{We see them hiding behind another console}The roles have indeed switched here. I am now the hero, trying to kill you and save Washington from destruction, and you four are the villains, whose resistance to die is endangering millions of lives. And as you know, the heroes always win, and I'm the hero,so{he turns toward the console the foursome are hiding behind and walks right in front of them}prepare to die for your evil deeds, you villains. {The metal wires swing at them and they run just in time. Gene stands perfectly still as the wires rush towards them. The wires eventually find themselves right behind the good guys, and try to touch them, but narrowly miss. However the left one finds it's way towards Harry and shocks him. He falls. The wire then circles above him, preparing to shock him again, but Loud grabs it by it's metal coil and tries to push it back. The front of the wire attempts to reach over and shock him, but can't reach him. The other wire then shows up and tries to shock Harry while Loud's distracted, but Miss Info and Charity grab it by the coil too. Harry then joins Loud and grabs the other one} {They hold on to them for a second or two, then they dive below them, let go and run. The wires follow quickly. The good guys then notice another console nearby. As if they all have the same idea, they run towards it. The wires then stop in front of them and prepare to strike} Loud: Come on wires, come and get us! Although I don't have a red cape and you're not a bull, I still say toro! {The wires rush toward him, but then Loud opens a hatch behind him, pulls apart a few wires and dives out of the way. The wires find themselves into the hatch and before they move out, Loud closes the door on them, they can't get out now. Sparks of electricity are heard, and the Histerians run away. The part of the wires not in the hatch drop to the ground, we now see Gene walk up with nothing onto where his hands should be. His hands then conviently reappear and his head stretches out, just as the console explodes from the wires crossing} {We go back to our heroes, who are now running into another room} Miss Info: I'll close that door so he can't get in{Starts to close it}that'll give us enough time to think of another {She's interrupted as the head comes in though the barely open door. She look shocked, and then grins and quickly closes the door, the head's coil is trapped onto the door again. It tries to stretch towards her, but it can't. The four then run away and then the robotic hand reappears from Gene's forehead and put the goggles on him. He starts to fire at them, but they run to the left and the shots miss. He then shoots at them again and they run to the right. He shoots at them again and...well, you get the idea. Finally they go into another room and are out of view. Behind the door, Gene's body finally comes up and forces the door open. The head goes back onto it's socket and he walks away. Inside the next room, the Histerians look desperate} Loud: We can't keep getting lucky like this, we have to think of something! Harry: We have almost 4 minutes until that thing goes off, isn't there any plan out there we can find and execute within that time? There has to be! Miss Info: Gasp, I've got it! Charity: You what? Miss Info: I actually have got an idea, a good idea! I just looked over these blueprints and I've found a room which could serve us well! Follow me! {With no other choice, they follow her and she runs towards another ladder in the center of the room. Just then a laser blast whizzes by them and they see Gene. They run up the ladder in a hurry as Gene walks to them. He then stretches his arms to the top of the ladder and grabs the ledges. His body then rises up to the top and he opens the door above him. He then climbs up to the surface and faces Miss Info, the first one up the ladder. His fingers turn into claws again and he tries to slash her hand, but she moves it away. He tries to slash her other hand, but she moves it away and puts her other hand back on the ladder, then she slides between his legs and is on the floor safely. With Gene distracted, the others climb into the room, which is the exact same room they started in. They then rush towards Miss Info} Harry: What is this, we're back where we started! Miss Info: Just follow me. {They run away and Gene follows quickly. He swings his claws at them but misses repeatedly, and when he slashes something it's just their shirts and he doesn't slash their flesh. They turn turn and head towards another locked door} Miss Info: All right, everyone go into that room! {Harry pulls out his crowbar and forces a door in front of them open, but Gene is closing in. Through Harry's P.O.V, we see Gene come closer and his claws are coming right at his face, but his view is then replaced by steel as the steel door closes. He then quickly gets out several pieces of tape and uses them to tape the door shut. Now the Histerians find themselves in a room with not as many consoles and devices as previous rooms, but is highlighted by a console that is above the floor of another hallway above and is shaped like a log, another one is to the left} Harry: All right Miss Info, what's your big plan, and tell us quietly. Miss Info: Well, you see those consoles up there? They're kept above the ground by a rope and the left of it is connected to a metal plate by screws and the plate is in turn connected to a bar. Charity: That's strange, I guess that rope must be there to keep the console from falling if it's disconnected to that plate..{catching on}Oh, oh,that's the whole point isn't it? Miss Info: Exactly! We unscrew those screws and then the console swings down. If we do that to both consoles, they'll collide. What we need to do is find something to place in the center of where they would meet, and it would explode from being hit with two swinging consoles. That explosion would likely set up a chain reaction where the fire would spread all over the machine, and become big enough that it would destroy the spider before that missile goes off, and we live happily ever after! Harry: There's just one problem. How do we escape from that? Miss Info: Easy. There's an escape pod inside this room to the right of the right console. There's also three others in the next room. After the explosion, we go into those things and get out of here before it explodes. Loud: So what do we get to explode and set up the spider's destruction? Miss Info: Well, Gene's trying to come in now, I guess our only option is...him. We'll have to kill him to set up the explosion. Harry: I have the perfect tools to do that.{He pulls from his pocket something metal that looks like half a circle}This is like a manacle, it'll trap his arms and legs. I have three more of these{pulls them out}we can use these to trap him when he gets to the center. I also have a screwdriver to use to unscrew those screws. Miss Info: Uh oh. There's one problem. I just realized why I stated there were three escape pods in another room. The pods are only big enough for one person. Loud: Are you implying what I think you are implying? Miss Info: Yes. One of us is going to have to stay here and battle Gene, and the rest of us will have to go to the other escape pods, since I don't think all four of us can battle him and then get to all the pods before time runs out. Harry: You're disturbingly right. So...which one of us is going to stay? Normally you'd volunteer in a hurry to get to an escape pod quicker, but having to do all that by yourself beforehand is a downer. Loud: So how do we decide fairly and quickly which one of us will stay? Charity: I'll do it. Miss Info: What? Charity: It's the easiest way to avoid a debate we don't have time for, I volunteer to stop him. Loud: No, I can't let you do that by yourself! Charity: Listen, you three are all veterans in this battling Gene thing, compared to you I'm a newcomer. I think you veterans have suffered enough, it's time for the newcomer to finish him off to prevent more pain and suffering. Loud: Do, do you really think you can do it in time? Charity: There's just one way to find out. Harry: All right then, here are the manacles. Put then in your pocket along with the screwdriver.{Gives her the manacles and a screwdriver and she does what he says}I think there's a few parts here too, you can use those to get him in position.{They walk towards the door, Harry whispers}Okay, on the count of three, I'll pull the tape off and open the door, Gene will be too surprised that we did that he'll stumble in here. Then you lock the door, Charity, and beat him while we head for the escape pods. Charity: Sounds fair to me.{Loud walks over to her}Don't look like you're never going to see me again, I'll survive this. You've done enough worrying about me for one day. Loud: Just be careful, get rid of him forever, and most of all, just come back alive.{Hugs her} Charity: I will. I'll see you all in a few minutes. Miss Info: Good luck, I hope we get to wish you congrats when you save us all. Harry: Here we go. On the count of three we run. One...two...three! {Outside, Gene's hands are now axes and he's trying to chop through the door with no success. Just then the door opens and the threesome run past him. Gene is very surprised and without knowing walks into the room, then is about to go after them when Charity closes the door and locks it with the tape. Loud looks at the door close and stares, then joins the others. Inside, Gene is trying to get the door open} Gene: Let me out of here, I'll get you three! Charity: Forget them!{Gene turns to face him}It's me you really want! They've caused you lots of pain in the past, but I've caused the most amount in the present! Besides, they'll probably escape, wouldn't you like to have their last moments on Earth before you fire the missile filled with misery from my demise? {This gets to Gene, he then walks towards Charity and circles his prey} Gene: So this is how you want to end your life, killed in a giant spider and foolishly letting the others go away and sacrifice your own life? 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 Charity. She 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. She 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. She then swings the bar again but he dives and moves away this time and continues his own attempts. This continues for a few moments until Charity swings at him again, but then stops at mid swing and drives the bar through his stomach. He screams in pain. She then moves the bar away and while he's holding his stomach, she drives the bar through his shoulder. He then falls down} {Before he can get up again, Charity moves above him and hits him with the bar. He tries to block it with his arms but she continues her assault. Then his hand grabs the bar before it comes down. They struggle for control of it, Gene'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. Charity looks at it stunned...and then with no time to react, Gene slashes her forehead. She screams in pain and covers her forehead, and then Gene slashes her stomach, leaving claw marks on her shirt. She goes down on the floor. Gene then gets up and walks around her ominously. He then bends down and picks up her ponytail, holds it, then slashes it off. She's obviously in pain. She then rolls around and faces Gene, who bends down, poised for the final blow. Charity then moves her left hand towards her pocket} Gene:{Low}Time to die, Ms Bazaar. Charity:{Weak but defiant}Not before you, Doc. {Gene then raises his left hand and tries to hit Charity claws first, but she rolls out of the way. Before he gets his hand off the floor, Charity puts the manacle on his wrist. He can't get his hand out of the manacle's newfound grips on his hand, he tries to yank and pull it away with no success. While he's distracted, Charity then puts another manacle on his other hand, now both hands are trapped on the ground. Gene tries desperately to get the manacles off, and while he does, Charity now puts manacles on both his feet, now he's stuck on all fours. With a final burst of energy, she runs to the left ladder to start the task of unscrewing the console} {Gene notices this, and his head stretches out towards her. She gets to the left console and pulls out the screwdriver. She starts to unscrew the screws from behind the metal plate and then Gene's head arrives. Enraged, he rushes at Charity bent on murder, but she dives and continues to work on the screws. The head then rushes towards her and before it hits, she grabs it with one hand and works the screwdriver with the other. She's obviously greatly struggling to do both, then the robotic arm puts the goggles on. Before it fires, she grabs the goggles and stomps on them. This gives her the time she needs to finishing unscrewing the third of four screws, then she unscrews the fourth, but only unscrews it a little bit, the console's still attached, but barely. The head then rushes at her again and she dives, then jumps off the hallway, landing on the ground. She rushes towards the second ladder to the right} {Gene's head backs away to it's socket then rushes back after her. She's already starting work on the screws behind the plate as Gene comes over. He charges at her like a ram, but she dives and the head hits the wall. He tries again and she again dives and the head hits the rod attached to the plate, she's once again diving while trying to unscrew the screws. It then comes at her again and this time she jumps with all her remaining might and lands with her legs between the long coil attached to the head. She nonchalantly continues to work as Gene looks shocked at her. The coil then backs away trying to get her away from her, but she jumps off and then finishes unscrewing the third screw. She then unscrews the last screw lightly like last time then notices some noticeable doors at the very end of the hall} Charity: Those must be the doors to the escape pod!{She runs as fast as possible toward the doors, with Gene giving chase. We then go into another room as Loud, Miss Info and Harry are facing three sets of similar doors} Harry: These must lead to the pods all right.{He opens a red button nearby the doors in front of him to reveal the escape pod, shaped like an egg. The doors are closed. Harry then pushes another button nearby those doors} Voice:{From the pod}Please enter password to get in. Harry: Drat! What could be the password for this? Um, Gene! Dr Burrows! Science! Spider! Revenge! Um, die Loud, Miss Info and Harry, die!{The doors then open}That's it, we're in! Loud: Charity doesn't know it though, and she doesn't have that time to figure it out. I'd advise you to cover your ears. {They do in. Back in the other room, Charity has too gotten the doors leading to the pod open, however Gene is still charging. He finally gets her on the head and she goes down. He coils like a snake, ready to strike} Loud:{V.O and very hearable}DIE LOUD, MISS INFO AND HARRY, DIE!!!!!!{They both real from hearing that but the pod doors are now open. Charity quickly gets in and closes the pod doors. Gene is still reeling} Gene: Ow, even as a robot I can't escape being hurt by that voice! {He finally notices Charity. She's strapping herself to the lone chair inside. Gene goes towards the glass window and tries to charge through with no luck} Gene: You can't escape in time, it won't get you out right away, you have to go through tubes until it reaches the end of the spider and then it leaves! Charity: It could be worse, I could be stuck in manacles and about to be destroyed. Good bye forever, Gene. {She presses the "Eject" button on the chair. She then waves good bye tauntingly and the pod lifts to the roof and is seen going out through a white tube, there are three others next to it. Inside the other room, the others are getting into their pods and they press their separate "Eject" buttons simultaneously and lift out into the tubes. We go back and see Gene watching Charity's pod go with disdain} Gene: Bah, well the missile will take care of her and get her eventually. Gasp, and it would get the spider too of course, I've got to get free of these manacles to escape the destruction! {His head goes back into it's sockets and he resumes trying to get free. However, he then hears a creaking sound. He turns to the left console and sees the final screw is about to fall off the plate. He turns and sees the other console is about to be disconnected too. Gene then realizes what's about to happen} Gene: Clever little girl.{The screws then finally fall off and, with the rope attached on top, the consoles swing downward....right at Gene, both are about to hit him at once}Well, those will hardly be considered famous last words. {Through Gene's P.O.V we see the left console coming at him, then the sight goes to static and then the static fades away. We pan backwards and officially see the consoles hit Gene, and the evil scientist explodes. The fire from the explosion then reaches the ropes, and the consoles then come down on the ground. The fire begins to reach the consoles themselves and small explosions come out of that. The fire then starts to spread to other parts of the room, like Miss Info said, the explosion is causing a chain reaction, destroying other parts of the room and increasing the amount of fire. Just then, something flies out of the flames...it's one of Gene's hands, now back to normal. It unlocks the door and flies out as the fire grows very quickly behind it} {The hand flies towards the door of the control room and opens it. It then lands on the control console and pushes a button. It reveals a computer screen which reads "Status of Escape Pods" showing the four pods. He touches the fourth pod on the monitor and it fills the screen. A keyboard then show up below the screen and the hand goes over to a convenient mouse beside it and highlights the portion of the screen labeled "Air Supply". It then goes to the keyboard and deletes the highlighted word "Full Power" then types the word "Off" and presses Return} {Cut to Charity's pod as she's putting band aids on her claw mark. Suddenly a hissing sound is heard} Charity: What was that?{She looks around and then after a while, is finding it hard to breathe}Oh..no, he's turned...off the...air supply! {She is after a while, greatly struggling to breathe now. Back at the control panel, the hand is now attempting to do the same to the other three pods. Just then a rumble is heard behind him, and then fire breaks through the door and rushes towards the panel. The hand panics, and as it's last act, it presses a button nearby labeled "Fire" The fire then reaches the panel and from outside, we see most of the spider's head explode} {Inside the missile room, we see the time on top of the bomb say "Fire in 40 seconds": and then that 40 changes to 0. A hatch opens in front of the bomb and it begins to lift upward. Back outside, the remaining Histerians, citizens, and soldiers are rushing out of the White House yard from the explosions, and then they turn and see the missile coming out} Sammy: No, no it can't be! That thing's exploding and the bomb is still there?!{The bomb then launches into the sky} Smartypants: Yes it is, and millions of people are going to find that out all too personally. {We go to various points in the city as citizens everywhere see the bomb launching higher and higher, and preparing for the end. Then, the bomb stops, turns, and starts to streak to the ground nose first. The area it's falling in is very near the spider. Inside the missile room, another burst of fire breaks through the door and starts to fill the room. Outside, the bomb is closer to hitting the ground. Just then a burst of fire breaks through the open hatch where it launched....and at that very moment the falling bomb falls into that area of fire, and before it hits the ground, it explodes from it. It's a large explosion, but since it didn't land on the ground, it's not a nuclear one} {Back inside, the escape pods are streaking through the tubes, fire is below them everywhere. They then reach the missile room and four hatches open above them. Just before the fire reaches the roof, the escape pods fly out through the hatches and launch high in the air} Harry: Yee ha!! Loud: YES! Miss Info: We made it, we're okay! {We go up to see Charity's pod is already high in the air: and she's passed out. Inside, 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, in an explosion which is actually not imitating the one from "Independence Day" the rest of the White House explodes. 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. Just then, Charity's escape pod falls to the ground, and is soon joined by the other three pods. Behind them, the fire is beginning to fade away, and it is only then that the doors open in one of the pods, and Loud comes out. The people on the ground then finally notice the pods} Smartypants: Look everyone, there they are! They made it! Pepper: They're alive? AHHH, this is wonderful!{Harry and Miss Info come out} Miss Info: Hey, look who's come to greet us!{The Histerians rush toward them} Father Time: You guys did it! The spider's destroyed, the missile failed, and Gene's dead isn't he? Harry:{Somber}I'm sorry, I have bad news....{Bright}for Vincent Morre if he can still hear us, this time he's really dead! No one could have survived that! Miss Info:{Happy}And where's the one that caused his well deserved demise? Harry: Hmm, good question, why hasn't she come out yet?{He goes over to Charity's pod, looks into it through the window and gasps}Everyone, come quick! Die Loud, Miss Info and Harry, die! {The rest rush to the pod and with the doors now open, everyone can see Charity's motionless form} Smartypants:{Coming into the pod}My goodness, I can instantly tell that there was no air in here! Harry: He must have cut off the air supply and she passed out. And it looks like she got slashed repeatedly by those claws, she had no air to breathe and blood's been lost! Loud:{Scared}That motionless form doesn't mean she's..she's... Harry: She's not dead, but she's not breathing. She has a weak pulse. Does anyone here know CPR?! Nathan: Hey, you're a doctor, why don't you do it? Harry: I'm not a medical doctor, I'm a doctor of science and I don't know the first thing about CPR! Someone please come here who does! Loud:{Trembling}I'll do it. Back up and give her room!{They all do so and Loud starts administrating mouth to mouth} Aka: She's, she's not gonna die, is she? Loud: Please don't talk like that, with the right techniques she'll wake up!{Looks up to the sky}Please, whoever's up there, make her wake up to prove me right. {Back in the underground warehouse, we see a figure on the top of the ladder below the door on it's roof. The figure then turns the doorknob on the door, then opens the door and jumps off the ladder, hanging on by holding the doorknob, because by opening the door, debris from the explosion falls through the opening. When it stops, he goes back onto the ladder and finds himself outside because there is no more White House. He then pulls out binoculars and can now see what's going on as Loud continues to perform CPR. The Histerians of course look on worried, even the former army members begin to show emotion. Many other people come on to watch. Charity still hasn't waken up yet} Sammy: I know a lot about these situations from the dramatic end of movies, and they don't usually show it taking this long to revive someone. Smartypants: She probably was passed out for some time and she probably did lose a good amount of blood. Loud:{Desperate}Please, stop talking like that, she still has a pulse! W.O.W: But, it could be that she lost enough air and blood that still having a pulse might not make a difference. I'm not saying she's gonna be dead, but these things do happen.{Loud is stung by this and quickly ponders life without her, and becomes even more desperate} Loud: NO! It can't end like this, please wake up!{She administers mouth to mouth again, but she doesn't revive}Come on, wake up, please!{He does it again and still nothing, he then looks up without looking at her, almost resigned to losing her}Please... {A lone tear begins to streak down his face. Some of his friends are near tears themselves. Just then, a hand reaches up towards Loud's face and wipes the tear away. He looks shocked, then looks down to see Charity awake, she looks weak, but she's alive} Harry: She's alive! W.O.W: Ha, I've never been more happy to be wrong in my life! Loud: You're, you're alive.{Jubliant}YOU'RE ALIVE, YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!!{Stops}Oops, sorry about that, after what you went through, the last thing you need is hearing another loud outburst. Charity: Loud or not, it's still good to hear your voice again. In case you had doubts, I got him, he's finally dead. Harry: And look!{Points to the rubble}Look what you've done, not to the White House but to the spider! You saved us all! Loud: If you don't want to say you did it by yourself, let's at least say you played a very big part. It's over, we won! Charity: I'm... Loud: Oh no, you're not gonna say "I'm not happy" are you? Charity: You didn't let me finish. I'm_so_happy! {Loud helps Charity up and they share a big hug. The Histerians surround them and cheer. Nathan then begins to clap at the sight} 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 they 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: He, he did? Harry: Yes, 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. 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?{He ponders for a few seconds, then brightens up. He comes over to Loud and Charity and smiles at them....then grabs them again and points his gun at them} Nathan: Whoa, wait a minute, what the heck do you think you're doing?! Morre: I just came to a realization. I don't want to kill them for revenge, I want to kill them because they represent all the demons I'm facing, the hardships! If I kill them, it may not cure my troubles right away, but it will be a great first step! Then, yes then I can go away, escape the people who have and still will cause me trouble, take my family with me, and I'll be surrounded by the people who can help me get over all that's happened and rehabilitate me, away from anyone else who can destroy that! Then, by the time I'm cured, no one will remember who I am and will have gotten over what happened, and I can live again! Harry: When we meant get on with your life, we didn't mean you could still kill them! Morre: But you want me to get better, right? This is the start towards my redemption!{Cocks his gun} Nathan:{Aims his gun}You pull that trigger any further, and I swear I'll kill you myself. Morre: You wouldn't dare. Nathan: Just watch me. {Morre is this close to firing, but before he does, Nathan fires and shoots him in the hand, which causes him to drop his gun before he fires. He clutches his hand and screams in pain, then turns around to see the entire army pointing their guns at him. He stares at them shocked for a moment, then turns and runs away} Morre: You'd better not relax after this, Histerians! I'll soon be back! Nathan: Not bloody likely. Everyone, turn your guns and concentrate firepower on a piece of metal debris! We can't let him escape and continue this horrible circle in Gene's place, it must end now! Army: YES SIR!{They all aim their guns at a metal plate about a few feet long inside the rubble as Morre is running away from it} |
