haha i wonder what silly adventure i write out this time!!
bizly: okay so you guys all fuckin, get in marks car, and-
grizzly: what songs he got playing?
charlie: (quick giggle) yeah, is it taylor swift this time?
bizly: HE IS NOT PLAYING TAYLOR SWIFT
will: hey mark i didnt know you liked bad blood!
bizly: NO, IM NOT DOING THIS BIT, YOU GUYS DRIVE THERE IN SILENCE
yakko: ashe is playing his playlist
bizly: yeah, ashe you have the headphones on, its likeโฆ
("hey, space cadet" from car seat headrest starts playing faintly in the background)
bizly: as you guys get in, and your driving there, probably staring out the window
grizzly: dakota is just criss cross apple sauce in the middle, just meddling with his thumbs in his lap
bizly: and as you're staring down at your lap dakota, and out the windows vyncent and william, you cant help but reminise on your first visit here. being led into that lab, fighting what seemed like a hopeless battle, and winning with a cost. the o-
grizzly: dakota is thinking about all those heroes who were waiting outside, the ones who di- couldnt help them, and how he failed to help with the trickster, and he looks up, over to ashe.
bizly: do you say anything to him?
grizzly: no, he just looks at him, the back of his head, not trying to get his attention or anything.
charlie: will glances over at dakota, kinda trying to see what hes thinking.
grizzly: hes thinking about that first time, obviously-
will: dakota? you good buddy?
will: it couldnt have gone differently, you know.
bizly: you two are having this little talk- condi is vyncent-
condi: vyncents just letting himself think these thoughts
bizly: alright, ashe, you remember, what to you, was the last time you felt really, awake, and like your brain wasnt really malfunctioning or something. and you remember that familiar feeling, that one of losing touch, losing control, of your body, of yourself. you knew in the end, there wasnt a way to fight back against this, this force, and yet you tried, and the reasons you tried your sitting next to in this car.
yakko: can i look over at mark?
bizly: mark is focusing on the road, pretty focused on where hes going. you can tell he has some mixed feelings about this all.
yakko: and the guys in the back?
charlie: will has his arm around dakota, leaning and whispering to him.
grizzly: dakota has this like, pretty serious look on his face. hes quieter then normal as he and wiwi are talking.
condi: vyncents still looking out the window, maybe fiddling with a dagger absent-mindedly.
bizly: as you turn back around, you catch a glimpse of your hand, and in this moment does it truly register that the runes on them are no longer glowing, go-
yakko: to ashe, theyre not gone. he can see the faint lines on his hand of where they were.
bizly: and as your looking at these lines, you feel the car stop.
bizly: im assuming you all get out the car?
ashe: what? oh, okay, thanks dad.
mark: im gonna keep an eye on the car, you guys go in there, find what you can
bizly: he looks at you ashe
ashe: its not easy with this group, but ill try
bizly: and you all head inside, and you get down there- it hasnt been changed from when you guys fought the overlord from what you can tell, nobodys bothered to fix the place up. theres no heroes set up here, no guards or anything, this place has been basically abandoned. its almost-
will: this place feels eerie like this.
bizly: yeah, exactly, as though your walking through the ghosts of the heroes here at this battle, the one that seemed to change everything. and you remember, just how big it felt, how giant the overlord was, how giant it all was. what do you all want to do first?
will: remember when our worst enemy was a crocodile- alligator man?
dakota: if we met him now, i could beat his ass, one hit
will: im sure you could dakota.
condi: vyncent is gonna look at the tubes, like the ones he and dakota got trapped in
bizly: they are completely destroyed, like theres bits of glass everywhere
vyncent: cant believe we were in one of these before, huh kota?
grizzly: yeah i was gonna say, dakota would look over with vyncent.
dakota: i could have broken out of it if i was stronger then.
vyncent: yeah. i dont think the greats appreciated being tubed.
bizly: so you two are gonna look through this area?
condi: yeah, well vyncent will
grizzly: ill help- dakota will look through with vyncent
bizly: alright, we'll get back to that. lets see whats going on with will, will! what we doing?
will (charlie forgot to turn off the will voice): will is gonna just get a general lay of the room for right now
bizly: alright, is that gonna be-
charlie: just what he can see right now
bizly: okay, so looking around, it looks very beat up, its a strange sort of deja vu, and you cant place your finger on it, but the situation makes you feel a bit like your back, in your brothers office-
bizly: -with alan and xavier and cantrip.
charlie: godโฆ.yeah. will just wipes a tear from his eye.
bizly: you do also catch onto a piece of something purple- and dakota youd see this too, its purple, what looks like cloth, stuck onto the glass of one of the tubes.
dakota: hey will, i found something!
charlie: ill go get a closer look at it.
bizly: so will, you would recognize it to be a piece of a purps suit.
charlie: of course, of fucking course it is-
bizly: and dakota, you would remember this to be a piece of your purp suit, one that got ripped off during your escape.
will: a pur- i thought we got rid of these before-
grizzly: hes gonna pick it up and put it in his pocket.
charlie: yeah ill go to looking on the other side of the room then
bizly: alright, and yakko, whats going on with ashe?
yakko: ashe is gonna go for where the trickster first got summoned
bizly: as your walking up to it, that spot in the floor is charred to ashes.
yakko: ashe is gonna just, stare at it. remembering it all.
bizly: well, you find something too. as your looking at this burnt tile on the ground, you see a page, which you know is one from your book.
ashe: didnt know one fell out.
yakko: i pick up the page
bizly: you look at it, reading it, and its the page about that demon arm you summoned quite a bit, how you'd try to use it in combat even if it didn't always hit, i think it was pretty safe to say one of your strongest moves
yakko: and it just got left here. i pick it up.
ashe: maybe this time around i can do something a bit better with you.
yakko: and i put it into my pocket
bizly: and as you put it in there, everyone gets this sort of feeling, and you all look up at the crater in the wall. its the one where the overlord was. and as your all looking, a thought crosses your mind: when, did it get so small. when did the issue of the overlord, of even the planet that one time, become such an insignificant thing? what set the change up, to where you stopped being heroes in kid costumes, and became kids in hero costumes.
charlie: can we all like walk closer to it, like meet up over-
bizly: i say you can meet over by it, yeah, sure
condi: vyncent would probably go closer, why not
vyncent: yknow, the whole reason the trickster came out and everything was because we thought this was where it was gonna end. how silly is that.
dakota: it made us stronger, yknow, we grew from it! became like, actual heroes and stuff!
will: maybe we shouldnt have. for what its worth, im glad that i got to fight in the ends with you guys.
me, who broke into the studio because im a little rat: and THAT is where we're gonna end the scene
