So, I spent a while trying to tweak a last post bringing everything together. But I couldn't get it right.
Then I realized that the last post doesn't have to be everything summed up. This site can be what it is, with everything I've ever written staying here for everyone to see... I've said enough over the past 4 years that everyone knows enough about me, and trying to "sum it up" would be irrelevant and probably wouldn't tell you anything that you didn't already know.
I am leaving you at a time in my life when everything could not be better. Very happy and very healthy, and moving to and looking towards the future, and it sure looks bright.
Thanks to everyone for reading. My posts, everyone's posts, The B.@.Dsaga. It's been great. I've had a lot of fun doing it, and I hope you all had fun reading it.
Maybe I'll see everyone somewhere else on the net someday.
It's been a pleasure. Thank you and goodnight.

Deja View - Part 5
* BEGIN SCENE *
* Fade into an airport terminal. The entire B.@.Dcrew of B.@.D, Mizzle, Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and B-Rush are all there, and they are sitting in chairs watching a TV monitor. *
REPORTER: With the disappearance President Bush’s ship Air Force One, which had gone to investigate the mysterious “Void”, which was gone as quickly as it came, the wars around the world have halted.
Talks have begun with a Peace Summit being held for all the world’s leaders in Australia later this month.
Saddam Hussein’s whereabouts are also once again unknown. There is still no sign of President Bush or Hussein, or G.g.B and O.s.H as they had come to be known. There are no explanations for their disappearances, but with both of these prominent worldwide leaders gone, the world has begun to settle into a new era of peace.
* The crew continued to watch in silence for a few moments until B-Rush spoke. *
Well… I gotta jump. I’m heading back to Sardinia to see Katherine at Ekobruzzi’s compound. She’s just about due, and Ekobruzzi says he’s got work for me trying to help him continue to turn the mob around in the meantime.
* The crew looked over at B-Rush as he grabbed his bag. *
… wow.
… that’s awesome, man. Tell Ekobruzzi we said hey.
Katherine too.
Will do.
* OziStyle got up to grab her bag as well. *
I’ll walk with you, I have to get going too anyways. Yochanan is back with his family but is going to need more mental help, so I told his family I’d pick him up in Mexico and take him to one of the best facilities in Australia on my way back.
Your way back?
I got invited to re-join the Australian Special Forces. Special Ops. First thing we’re doing is throwing the Peace Summit for all the world’s new leaders to attend now that the war is over.
… wow.
Congratulations!
… good for you, OziStyle. Tell Yochanan we said hey.
I’m not sure he’ll be able to understand it, he’s pretty gone again. But he got through it once, he’ll get through it again… hopefully.
All right Ozi, we’ve gotta get to international departures. I got a wife, a baby, and a mob boss waiting for me so let’s do it. See you, guys.
And I’ve got a mental patient and a minimum wage government job waiting for me. All right… bye guys!
* B.@.D, Mizzle, and Katastrophe watched OziStyle and B-Rush walk off. *
Well…
… wow.
… kids are growing up, huh?
* Katastrophe rolled her eyes and got up as well. *
Gotta blaze, boys... Tate is running for new Prime Minister to replace Harper. I’ll talk to you from Ottawa.
* B.@.D and Mizzle stared at her… *
… wow.
Hey, tell him we said…
Yeah, yeah.
I was gonna say good luck.
Oh, he’ll need it. He’s been in hiding for 2 years, so he’s… wanting.
Gross.
… I meant good luck in terms of… wait… so… you guys are…
* Katastrophe just stared at them. *
... I knew it.
… all this time?
* Katastrophe grabbed her bag and smiled. *
… I’ll see you boys around.
* She walked off. They watched after her. *
…
… huh.
… yyyeah.
* They sat there for a few moments... *
Well… this has been…
Uh-huh.
But it’s also been kinda…
That’s right.
* Mizzle smiled, then got up and grabbed his bag. *
So where…
Afghanistan.
* B.@.D stared at him and smiled. *
… what?
Gonna try for new leader. They still haven’t replaced Lookalike.
… wow… but you… you hate Afghanistan. When I sent you there last Christmas you practically…
Yep. That’s what this will fix, hopefully.
Huh... so what are you thinking for…
… I’m either thinking “King and Tyrant” or “Lord And Master”. You’ll see which one I pick on the news when I win the election.
Just let me know if it’ll be before or after the Kim Jong-il segment.
* Mizzle laughed. *
I’m out.
* B.@.D smiled and nodded.*
I guess we all are.
* He stuck out his fist and gave Mizzle the trademark pound, before Mizzle turned around to walk away.
He walked a few steps, before turning around... *
… hey.
* B.@.D looked at him. *
… next time, try running a nice, peaceful humor website. At least if you’re gonna ask me to join you again. Let alone ask me to take over leadership halfway through.
* B.@.D smiled. *
You’re right… leader of Afghanistan is bound to be a much more peaceful life for you. Settle down. Have yourself a couple of kids while you’re there.
* Mizzle smiled and walked off. *
I’ll see you when I see you.
* B.@.D watched him go.
He sat there alone for a few moments, before he himself grabbed his bag and walked towards a terminal. *
* Fade out. *
B.@.DCAVE RUINS - PRESENT DAY
* Fade in to the B.@.Dcave ruins. B.@.D is standing stop the ruins, much as he had done when the cave had been destroyed two years ago.
It seemed different now that it had before. Two years ago, it had collapsed. For reasons he did not know and did not understand until just recently when he realized the paradox.
He stood there a few moments, taking everything in. Everything that the last 2 years had brought to him. It seemed unbelieveable, everything that had happened... and unbelieveable that it was now over. As glad as he was that it was over, he still had trouble believing it...
... it was over.
When the B.@.Dcave had collapsed and he had stood atop these ruins last time, he remembered when he had walked off, into the sunrise. This time, the sun was setting. As the sun had risen when he had walked off the last time, he could not have imagined the journey he had been walking into.
Now, he was going into a sunset. Away from the journey behind him... perhaps towards a different one in front of him.
Only time would tell.
B.@.D was about to walk off, as he paused... half expecting to hear a dog howling in the distance as he did last time. He heard nothing...
... he started to walk off again, when again he heard the familiar dog howling in the distance. He smiled and looked back. And just as before, he saw no actual dog. And just as before, he smiled. *
... keep your head up, brother.
* B.@.D took one last look at the ruins, thought of everything that was now behind him...
... took a deep breath, and walked into the sunset. *
* Fade out. *
* END SCENE *
Deja View - Part 4
* BEGIN SCENE *
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
* Fade in to the inside of the B.@.Dship. The B.@.Dcrew watched the viewscreen, small explosions that quickly grew larger, engulfing the entire bunker.
They all watched nervously for B.@.D. They all waited an anxious minute until the grate flew off the opening B.@.D had entered.
B.@.D emerged…
An explosion hit the ground beneath him and he had a desperate jump, and just barely caught the edge of the B.@.Dship.
The explosion rocked the B.@.Dship sideways. Mizzle was at the controls and tried to steady the ship. Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and B-Rush headed towards the window where they watched B.@.D hang on to the ship.
B.@.D struggled to maintain his grip on the ship as it moved slowly away from the explosion. He felt the heat behind him as the massive explosions grew larger, eventually engulfing the ship that the G.g.B from this time’s future snuck there in.
Mizzle realized he had to move the ship faster if he we’re to save B.@.D as well as themselves… *
TELL HIM TO HANG ON!!!
* No one needed to tell B.@.D anything… as the ship lurched forward he held on, as the explosions engulfed the bunker and the surrounding buildings in it’s path. The B.@.Dship outran the explosions, with B.@.D holding onto the ship for dear life…
… about 10 minutes later, the B.@.Dship was hovering over the ocean, heading for a Los Angeles beach.
As the B.@.Dship hovered closer to the beach, B.@.D looked up at the B.@.Dcrew... Over at Mizzle, then over at Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and B-Rush as he released his grip on the side of the ship and fell into the ocean. *
* The three yelled up to Mizzle, who was piloting the ship. *
HE FELL!!!
Mizzle! Look!!!
We need to turn around and go get him!!!
* Mizzle looked down towards him, and indeed saw B.@.D emerge out of the water, onto the beach. He kneeled and looked up at the B.@.Dship...
… directly at Mizzle. The two made eye contact. And Mizzle remembered what B.@.D had said to him before he went into the bunker.
Mizzle nodded down at B.@.D. B.@.D nodded back at Mizzle, and Mizzle took the ship up and away from the ground.
He set a course for the Void.
The B.@.Dcrew realized the ship wasn’t heading for B.@.D and called to Mizzle. *
Where are you going???
… he’ll be fine. There’s something he needs to do.
What???
* Mizzle smiled. *
… I have no idea.
* Fade out. *
* Fade into a beach.
B.@.D collected himself, and stood up as he watched The B.@.Dship fly away.
He smiled.
It was almost over.
There was just one more thing he needed to do.
One more thing he needed to know.
He walked down the beach.
Fade out. *
THE VOID
* Fade into the inside of the Void. The B.@.Dship is sitting inside the cargo bay. Inside the B.@.Dship, Mizzle got up from the pilot’s seat. *
All right… Katastrophe and I are gonna go make sure things are square with P.c.P and this Architect guy. You two stay here and keep the engines running in case something went sideways and we have to make a quick getaway.
* Ozi-Style and B-Rush nodded, and Katastrophe got up and followed Mizzle off the ship.
Fade out. *
* Fade into The Void’s control room. The Architect is sitting in his control room chair.
Mizzle and Katastrophe we’re shown in my two soldiers… as soon as they we’re in the room, the soldiers left and it was just the three of them. *
… you’re Architect?
ARCHITECT: I am. You did it.
… so we did.
ARCHITECT: You did good work. You should be proud of what you’ve done for all humanity.
Where’s P.c.P?
* Architect smiled. *
ARCHITECT: I’m sure you’re worried his little “plan” didn’t work. But it did. He gave me little choice, really, and while I do not approve of his methods, his passion shows me that he really does believe in this race. And what you have accomplished leads me to believe he is right.
Uh… thanks?
* The three of them stood there, awkwardly, for a moment. *
ARCHITECT: … where’s B.@.D?
… he fell from the chopper into the ocean after the mission.
He made it to shore. He’s fine.
ARCHITECT: Why didn’t you pick him up?
He didn’t want us to.
ARCHITECT: … I don’t understand. We need to find him.
We’ll never find him.
Not if he doesn’t want us to.
Let him go.
* Architect stared… *
You never answered our question… where’s P.c.P?
ARCHITECT: … he is making sure the second half of P.c.P’s little “plan” worked out.
* Mizzle and Katastrophe looked at each other. *
… second half?
ARCHITECT: You needn’t worry. It worked.
What was it?
ARCHITECT: … it doesn’t matter now. If P.c.P wishes to tell you one day, he can. Until then, it is not my place.
… all right. We’ll take our friends Tate, Ekobruzzi, and Yochanan and go then.
Listen… thanks for…
ARCHITECT: … I’m afraid your friends have already gone.
… excuse me?
ARCHITECT: They have gone back already. They will be there waiting when you get there.
* Mizzle and Katastrophe looked at each other.
Fade out. *
* Fade in to the Cargo Bay. Ozi-Style and B-Rush we’re sitting at the controls waiting for Mizzle and Katastrophe to return with Tate, Ekobruzzi, and Yochanan…
… when the doors to the bay opened, Tate and Ekobruzzi assisted the still ailing Yochanan into the bay. They we’re followed by the soldiers, who appeared to be re-activating the Void.
Ozi-Style and B-Rush looked at each other… *
What the f…
I know. Let’s go see.
* They opened the B.@.Dship hatch and stepped out onto the platform… the soldiers and their three friends, turned to face them. *
EKOBRUZZI: … you made it. You did it?
We did it.
TATE: That is wonderful! Is Katastrophe all right?
She’s fine. Her and Mizzle are squaring things with Architect. Come on back with us!
* Ekobruzzi and Tate looked at each other. *
EKOBRUZZI: We’ll, uh… we’ll catch up.
What?
TATE: We must go execute the final part of this plan with your friend P.c.P… he filled us in on what he needs us to do.
Final part…? What he needs you to do...?
* At that point, a soldier brought hoods over. The assisted Yochanan in sliding the robe and hood over his head before bringing two more of them to Tate and Ekobruzzi. *
SOLDIER: P.c.P says to wear these to avoid being seen.
* Tate and Ekobruzzi nodded, and put on the robes…
Ozi-Style and B-Rush turned back to each other in shock. *
You CAN’T be serious…
You three?!?!?!
TATE: I’m afraid so. Do not worry, we’ll be fine. Go back to the present.
EKOBRUZZI: And we’ll be there when you get back. Just… two years older than before.
* Ozi-Style and B-Rush just stood there, at a loss. *
TATE: Tell Katastrophe I will miss her and that I will be OK. I will find her when I catch up with your time.
EKOBRUZZI: B-Rush, you can pick up your girl from the compound in Sardinia. Hopefully I’ll be there when you get back too.
But…
Guys!!!
* They did not have time to register any further objections before Tate and Ekobruzzi grabbed Yochanan, and the two looked back one more time to grin at Ozi-Style and B-Rush before they walked back through The Void.
Ozi-Style and B-Rush turned to each other…
Fade out. *
EARTH – CALGARY, CANADA
THE OLD B.@.DCAVE RUINS
* Fade into B.@.D standing over the rubble of the original B.@.Dcave. He stopped, and took a deep breath.
Amongst the ruins of Calgary that had been destroyed in the incident from September, the B.@.Dcave ruins now looked commonplace amongst the rest of the destruction.
He had not been here since it’s destruction at the beginning of the year. But he was not here to find out how that had happened. That had happened from a suicide bomber sent by O.s.H.
He was here to find out what had happened the FIRST time the B.@.Dcave fell. He was here to find out who the three men in robes we’re.
He did not know how… but he knew that the answer was here somewhere… *
I had a feeling you wouldn’t go back to the Void with the others.
* B.@.D spun around. *
What are you doing here?
I went back in time to complete the mission. I only came back here so I could re-enter the Void in this time.
What did you do…?
I found out the solution. I found out what happened here at the original B.@.Dcave. Then I went back and made it happen again.
What was it?
* P.c.P brought out a handheld video device. He tossed it to B.@.D...
… B.@.D watched it.
Fade out. *
DECEMBER 16th, 2005
EARTH – CALGARY, CANADA
THE OLD B.@.DCAVE
* Fade in to the outside of the B.@.Dcave. O.s.H stumbled upon it… he recognized it… and he smiled…
This was the B.@.Dcave... the very same one he would send a suicide bomber to destroy two years from now.
He thought about what to do now that he was back…
… when he saw a hooded figure enter the B.@.Dcave. He cocked his head to the side, quizzically. *
Who could that be...?
* O.s.H immediately felt threatened and he was not sure why. But he knew he had to confront whoever that was. He cautiously walked up the steps and into the front door…
Fade out. *
* Fade in to two other hooded figures standing outside the B.@.Dcave. They looked at each other as they saw O.s.H and the other hooded figure enter the cave, and took their hoods off. *
TATE: … the bomb we planted inside has been armed. Are they inside?
EKOBRUZZI: Let’s wait until they get a little bit further. We get one shot at this.
* Tate took out a switch from his robe with a single, red button in it. Ekobruzzi looked at it and smiled, and Tate caught his gaze and smiled back at him.
Fade out. *
* Fade in to the inside of the B.@.Dcave. O.s.H moved cautiously around it, and realized that the B.@.D and P.c.P of this time we’re not here…
He cautiously looked around the corner at the figure walking up the stairs. He followed him. He walked up the stairs after him, quietly…
… once up the stairs, he went around the corner to follow him…
… but he found the figure staring at him. The figure took off his hood. *
YOCHANAN: Took you long enough.
* O.s.H’s eyes went wide…
… as Yochanan leaped out a nearby window.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the outside of the B.@.Dcave and the two figures again.
They both stared up at the cave. *
TATE: Our friend is sure taking his time.
* At that, they heard a window crash and saw a body fly out the second story window and hit the ground hard. *
EKOBRUZZI: That’s it. HIT IT!!!
* Tate pressed the button…
… and a deafening explosion ripped through the B.@.Dcave.
Fade out. *
PRESENT TIME
EARTH – CALGARY, CANADA
THE OLD B.@.DCAVE
* Fade into the outside of the cave ruins.
B.@.D smiled…
He finally understood. After all this time… *
… i get it…
* He turned to P.c.P…
… but as he turned around, P.c.P was gone.
He looked down at his hand, and the handheld video device he had just been given was gone too.
He smiled again and looked up at the sky…
… and he saw the Void in the sky close.
He laughed, and threw his hands up to the sky as the sunrise hit... *
I GET IT!!!
* Fade out. *

… and a deafening explosion ripped through the B.@.Dcave.
Fade out. *
PRESENT TIME
EARTH – CALGARY, CANADA
THE OLD B.@.DCAVE
* Fade into the outside of the cave ruins.
B.@.D smiled…
He finally understood. After all this time… *
… i get it…
* He turned to P.c.P…
… but as he turned around, P.c.P was gone.
He looked down at his hand, and the handheld video device he had just been given was gone too.
He smiled again and looked up at the sky…
… and he saw the Void in the sky close.
He laughed, and threw his hands up to the sky as the sunrise hit... *
I GET IT!!!
* Fade out. *
* END SCENE *
Deja View - Part 3
* BEGIN SCENE *
DECEMBER 24th, 2006 – JUST OVER LOS ANGELES
* Fade into the inside of the B.@.Dship. The entire B.@.Dcrew is on the bridge. *
… has anyone seen us?
… including, uh… us from the past, I guess?
Not yet. We’re using the cloud cover again. We’ll use it all the way down to the bunker.
At this point, Ekobruzzi’s ship is still outside the bunker, and myself and Mizzle from this time are still inside… the B.@.Dship from this time should just be getting jumped by O.s.H’s ship from this time right now…
This is pretty fucking confusing.
Almost over. Almost home.
What do you think P.c.P is gonna do about Architect?
… I don’t know.
And what do we do if his plan doesn’t work and they don’t turn the project over? All this will be for nothing… and how will we get Tate, Ekobruzzi, and Yochanan out of there…?
… I don’t know. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess.
How do you trust him so much? He… DID lie a lot.
… I just do. He explained, and although it was… well, he might have caused some of this… but it sounds like he IS doing his best to fix it… and I mean… that Void… the end of the world… the fact that we’re back in the past to try to fix it… can anyone ELSE think of a way to…
There is no other way to do this.
… exactly. So… let’s take it to the limit one more time. For the last time.
* The crew nodded at him in agreement. They all stared at the viewscreen in silence for a few moments… *
None of these people… know… that their lives may be about to come to an end.
With any luck, they won’t.
It’s like P.c.P said… we don’t have any choice… we HAVE to…
* A console beeped, and Ozi-Style cut them off… *
Sorry guys… we’re approaching the bunker…
All right, let’s…
Uh… only one of us can go… the only entrance into the bunker where no one will see is small… the shaft will take some time to crawl through. If we’re still going to detonate those bombs, even without the nuke chips attached… there’s not going to be time to get more than one person back to the ship.
* The crew looked around for a moment… then they all looked at B.@.D... *
… wouldn’t have it any other way. This one’s on me. Are we in position?
… yeah.
The ship is in position… we’ll open the back and you can just climb down the shaft…
All right.
* He looked at everyone… they all looked back at him. He walked over and hugged B-Rush and Ozi-Style, then walked over to Katastrophe and did the same… *
… I’m not even going to say it. Anyone who can fake their death more than once a year doesn’t need luck.
* B.@.D smiled. *
Thanks. See you all soon.
* He walked to the back of the ship, with Mizzle following him. Mizzle opened the door, and B.@.D prepared to step out of the ship when Mizzle looked at him… *
... you ready for this?
I absolutely am not.
Glad to hear it.
* B.@.D was about to turn around… when he thought of something… he turned back around and faced Mizzle. *
Hey… when I come back out of there… I might not… come back into the Void with you… I have one last thing I’ll need to do…
… what?
I’ll be fine and I’ll meet up with you in a few days when they send you all back. Don’t tell the others… just… if you’ve ever trusted me before… trust me now.
* Mizzle smiled. *
And if I never have?
* B.@.D smiled mischeviously back.*
Then start.
* And with that, B.@.D stepped out of the shift and onto the ledge of the bunker before opening the shaft and climbing down. Mizzle watched him disappear into it and took a breath.
Fade out. *
THE VOID
* Fade into the control room. P.c.P and The Architect are standing there alone. *
ARCHITECT: You are playing a VERY dangerous game, P.c.P.
Change always is.
ARCHITECT: And so you let a demon escape into the past… why?
Because I know how to stop him.
ARCHITECT: The B.@.Dcrew has already gone back in time once. They cannot follow him and come back… not for 2 years. No human could survive both going back and the return trip for that amount of time.
I said I know how to stop him. Really Architect, what’s your alternative? The Committee is going to see a time paradox… and my plan is the only way to fix it.
* Architect simply stared at him and shook his head… P.c.P looked him right in the eye. *
… you we’re put into a situation un-prepared. The committee did not research this decision to terminate Earth. If you return to them now and give them your recommendation, I will support you and they will put you on another project and return this one to me. I will tell them that O.s.H escaped on his own and that you we’re the one with the idea of how to solve it… this can all happen WITHOUT any discipline to you… but… if they see this paradox and you have no way to explain it…
* Architect stood for a moment, then turned to P.c.P… *
ARCHITECT: … what is your plan…?
* P.c.P smiled.
Fade out. *
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
* Fade into the inside of the control room inside the bunker. B.@.D is hidden behind a wall.
He looked over as G.g.B interacted with the Mizzle and B-Rush from the past through the blast doors…
… so it really was true. The G.g.B from after the world ended had come back to make sure that it happened again.
But it wouldn’t happen again. Not this time.
He heard the voices of B-Rush and Mizzle, from the past, through the blast doors. *
… so… if you’re up there… how can you be down here?
* G.g.B returned the Mizzle from the past’s stare. *
What’s happening here is beyond your comprehension.
* The Mizzle from the past continued to look at G.g.B. *
Try me.
As much as I would enjoy talking above your level of understanding, Mizzle, I believe I have a countdown to restart. I believe I have a world to end… again.
… again?
* G.g.B smiled one last smile at Mizzle as he walked out of the field of view of the blast door window, off to where the controls we’re located in the room. *
Goodbye, Mizzle.
* B.@.D watched as G.g.B stepped out of the view of the blast doors. He saw the old Mizzle trying to get see through the doors after G.g.B, but he eventually gave up.
… he waited until G.g.B had punched in the controls. His first instinct was to try to stop him, but he remembered that he had to let everything happen exactly as it had before. He heard the computer confirm that the countdown had been restarted.
He heard footsteps outside the door, and knew that the Mizzle and B-Rush from the past had left with Ekobruzzi’s ship to go after G.g.B from the past’s ship.
B.@.D stepped out from behind the wall.
G.g.B spun around and his eyes went wide as he saw B.@.D... *
… you’re alive…
* B.@.D said nothing. *
… what exactly is it that you want, B.@.D...?
* B.@.D stared at him. *
… it ends tonight.
* G.g.B stared back. *
Yes, it does. And I really should thank you for it. After all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life… the purpose of life is to end. See… in the Void, it wasn’t me who was in charge. But here on Earth… well, the scales are tipped back my way. I run this planet. I always have. And still do. I am the “architect” here. Only someone like me could bring it to an end. So I’m gonna spell out your present options.
* B.@.D continued to stare at G.g.B… *
Either… you can let me finish this the way it’s supposed to happen and come back to the Void with me, and you can live in a cell for the rest of your life or whatever the hell it is that the Architect wants to do with you…
* B.@.D smiled, already having made his decision. G.g.B saw this and shot him back a look of final warning… *
… or they’re gonna find your bones slumped against the shell of a detonated nuke, ‘cause it’s been a LONNNNNG time comin’, B.@.D...
* B.@.D walked right up to G.g.B. *
… whenever you’re done yakking.
* G.g.B smiled a terrifying smile at B.@.D...
… and lunged at him.
Fade out. *
THE VOID
* Fade into P.c.P staring at Arhcitect… *
ARCHITECT: … was this your plan all along?
No. But when more escaped the end than I had planned, the idea came to me.
ARCHITECT: Why should I go along with this?
Again… what choice do you have?
* Architect stared… *
ARCHITECT: What do we tell the B.@.Dcrew?
Let them finish what they have to do. Then… there’s no reason to tell them anything. When we send them back, then the three of them will still be there. Just a couple years older than they would have been.
ARCHITECT: Have you asked the three of them if they are willing to do this?
Not yet. But I will.
ARCHITECT: And how can I be sure this goes down right? If I am going with this plan to avoid explaining a paradox to the committee, what happens if something goes wrong? Then I’ll have a lot more than one more to explain.
You can be sure, because I am going as well. I will make sure everything goes down exactly the way it has to for this to work.
* Architect continued to stare at P.c.P… *
ARCHITECT: … very well. Make it so.
* Fade out. *
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
* Fade into the midst of the fight. G.g.B wrestled B.@.D to the ground against one of the nuclear bombs… he got on top of him and began to choke… *
… it was inevitable, B.@.D...
* B.@.D, with one last ounce of strength, pushed G.g.B up and threw him off. G.g.B landed against one of the bombs headfirst. B.@.D rushed over, took some handcuffs out of his pockets, and handcuffed G.g.B to it.
G.g.B thrashed and struggled against the handcuffs but could not get free. B.@.D stood up, and looked down at him…
G.g.B outstretched his hand as if he we’re about to throw his demonic green energy at B.@.D... but nothing happened.
B.@.D smiled. *
Out of gas?
… I don’t understand…!!!
Think about it. Who gave you that power?
… The Architect…
… so that you could do what?
… bring about the end of the world…
… which you did. You may have come back but when the world ended, he took away that power from you so you would be no threat to him. He never gave it back to you because all he needed you to come back and do was to push a button.
* G.g.B’s face darkened with anger… *
NnnnnnnnnnOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
* B.@.D smiled and walked over to the control panel.
He tapped the console several times, and a computer voice confirmed the command he had inputted. *
COMPUTER: Nuclear components de-activated. Regular bomb detonation still on schedule for 2 minute countdown.
* B.@.D ran over to the grate. G.g.B shouted after him. *
WE ARE NOT FINISHED!!!
* B.@.D looked back at him and smiled… *
Oh, I think we are. I don’t think anyone’s bringing you back this time.
* With that, B.@.D turned exited the control room into the grate in which he entered. Once inside, he raced through to try to beat the imminent explosion which would destroy the entire bunker.
Fade out. *

Deja View - Part 2
* BEGIN SCENE *
THE VOID
* Fade into a cargo bay. The door is opening to G.g.B’s Air Force Zero ship. There are soldiers all over the bay.
G.g.B is walking aboard the ship. The Architect is standing behind him. *
ARCHITECT: The Void is a gateway to other universes. Right now, the Void is set to take you and your ship back to Earth on December 26th, 2007. The day the world ended. All you have to do is fly the ship back outside the Void. You need to take the ship to the silo where Mizzle and B-Rush will stop the bombs that you activated before you took your ship to come here. You need to seal them out of the room and re-start them.
Just like before.
ARCHITECT: Exactly.
… then what happens?
ARCHITECT: Then the world is destroyed and the cycle is complete.
Yes, but I meant… to me…
ARCHITECT: You will take your ship to the other side of the Earth from where the Void is. You will hide there until all the ships enter the Void just like before. Then we will reset the instruments, and the Void will transport you back to THIS time, as opposed to the time that all the other ships entered. Then you will enter after all has happened as before, and you will come back here.
… I understand.
ARCHITECT: Remember that you are going back in time. There is another G.g.B down there, and another Air Force Zero ship down there as well. You cannot interact with anything. Do nothing other than re-starting those bombs.
* G.g.B looked unsure. *
Yes, Architect.
* Placing a hand on his shoulder. *
ARCHITECT: … you have done well, G.g.B. This is the last task.
* G.g.B nodded and took one last look at Architect as he closed the door to Air Force Zero…
He looked over at one of the guards. *
ARCHITECT: Activate the Void. Set it to September 24th… the day the world ended. Set it to just before the bombs exploded… he can go back an re-activate them after the B.@.Dcrew de-activated them.
* The solder tapped some controls and a massive instrument lifted up a spaceship size apparatus up into the air of the cargo bay…
G.g.B nodded at Architect and hovered the ship toward the Void.
Architect sighed. It was almost over. But this time, for good.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the corridor of the Void. The B.@.Dcrew and P.c.P we’re running down the hall to the cargo bay. *
… so how are we going to do this?
Architect will be sending G.g.B back, presumably in the Air Force Zero ship in one of the bay’s. We are going to the bay where the B.@.Dship is being held. We will send you back around the same time.
And we stop G.g.B from getting to the bombs to re-start them…
… no. G.g.B needs to go back and re-start the bombs, as before, or none of you will enter the Void. Things need to happen as before, as I said. AFTER he re-starts them, you need to de-activate the nuclear chips in the bombs. So they will explode and it will look as it did before, and the ships will still enter the Void as they did before.
How do we do that?
You will fly the B.@.Dship to the silo where the nukes we’re. You will wait until he confronts Mizzle and B-Rush in the past. Then B.@.D will confront G.g.B and finish this.
* Everyone looked at B.@.D. B.@.D simply looked at P.c.P and nodded. *
Then what?
Then you will come back into the Void, after the other ships. I will set it so that it will return you here, not the same time the other ships entered. Then we will return you back in to the Earth world… assuming this works… a few days later… with your friends Tate, Ekobruzzi, and Yochanan… when everything has clamed down. If you stay, people will obviously have questions about what happened. I think you would all agree if it was not the B.@.Dcrew being the only ones there when the Void disappears.
Disappears?
The Void will disappear after my superiors realize that the Architect has failed. They will remove him from the Earth project, and your race will continue on un-interrupted.
* The crew looked at each other. *
Questions?
* They all looked back at him. *
… let’s go.
* The crew followed P.c.P into the cargo bay.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the Cargo Bay with the Air Force Zero ship in it.
The Architect watched the Air Force Zero ship leave the bay through the gate that led him through the Void.
Architect smiled. It was all going to plan. *
ARCHITECT: Did it work? Is he back?
OPERATOR: Yes, sir. I set our instruments to configure the Void to send him back 3 hours before the bombs went off.
ARCHITECT: Excellent. Now we…
OPERATOR: Sir… the Void has been activated from another bay.
* Architect snapped his head back. *
ARCHITECT: … what? Which bay???
* The operator looked back at him with a nervous look. Architect had a sinking feeling. And he knew the answer before his subordinate even opened his mouth. He tapped a communications outlet for the Void facility. *
ARCHITECT: Security to the bay housing the B.@.Dship... NOW!!!
* Fade out. *
* Fade into the cargo bay with the B.@.Dship. P.c.P is at the cargo bay controls. The crew is about to board the ship. *
You have to hurry… they know we’re here. They will be here soon.
Well, let’s get going then. Get in.
* P.c.P simply stood and stared at the B.@.Dcrew... *
… you’re not coming?
… no.
Why not?
Someone needs to appeal to the committee once you cause Architect’s plan to fail.
What are you going to do once Architect gets here?
I will be able to handle Architect.
… how?
Trust me. I have a plan. I’ve already put it into motion.
* B.@.D simply stared at P.c.P… *
… there is no way we’re leaving until you tell us…
* An alarm sounded. *
You have to go. They’re almost here. The Void is set to return you just after G.g.B returned… follow him and stop those bombs. I will handle the rest.
* B.@.D stared back at him... unsure of whether or not to trust him despite an overwhelming feeling that he could... *
… all right, let’s go.
* The crew started to enter the ship. Mizzle paused. *
… what happens if we don’t succeed?
* P.c.P stared directly back at him. *
… you must succeed.
* The crew stared at each other as they boarded the ship. The Void powered up, and the ship lifted…
… as the ship lifted, Architect and some of his soldiers burst into the cargo bay. Architect ran over to P.c.P and pushed him away from the controls…
… but it was too late. The ship disappeared into the Void.
Architect slammed his fists into the controls. He turned around and grabbed P.c.P. *
ARCHITECT: WHERE DID THEY GO?!?!?!
I think you know.
ARCHITECT: … right after G.g.B went in. WHY?!?!?! Why did you bother??? I am just going to find another way.
You may not have time. Once the committee learns that you have multiple breaches to your little plan's timeline...
ARCHITECT: What do you mean multiple…?
* P.c.P simply smiled. Architect looked down at the controls… to see a light blinking.
He tapped the controls to see what the blinking light meant… *
ARCHITECT: … no…
* He turned to P.c.P, burning with rage… *
ARCHITECT: … what have you done…?
* Fade out. *
* Fade into the outside of O.s.H’s cell…
The door was open. O.s.H was standing outside…
… before he walked down the hallway cautiously…
He was not sure what he had to do… but he felt like he knew what direction to go…
He heard commotion from a cargo bay but felt as though he should not go there…
… but he looked down at ANOTHER cargo bay and felt as though he SHOULD go there…
He was not sure what was guiding him. Perhaps P.c.P was subliminally telling him that he was going to be allowed to go after all? After all, that was how he had communicated up to this point… and this felt no different…
… but this time… he would not allow P.c.P to deceive him. No matter what.
He walked into the other cargo bay, and saw that it was deserted. His eyes went wide…
… he saw the Void again… the same Void that had brought him here…
He looked at the controls on the dashboard of the cargo bay control panel… *
December 16th, 2005…
* … almost 2 years ago. O.s.H smiled.
He knew that this was where he must go.
He saw no ships in the bay, so he simply walked to the Void… and entered it.
Fade out. *
* END SCENE *
THE VOID
* Fade into a cargo bay. The door is opening to G.g.B’s Air Force Zero ship. There are soldiers all over the bay.
G.g.B is walking aboard the ship. The Architect is standing behind him. *
ARCHITECT: The Void is a gateway to other universes. Right now, the Void is set to take you and your ship back to Earth on December 26th, 2007. The day the world ended. All you have to do is fly the ship back outside the Void. You need to take the ship to the silo where Mizzle and B-Rush will stop the bombs that you activated before you took your ship to come here. You need to seal them out of the room and re-start them.
Just like before.
ARCHITECT: Exactly.
… then what happens?
ARCHITECT: Then the world is destroyed and the cycle is complete.
Yes, but I meant… to me…
ARCHITECT: You will take your ship to the other side of the Earth from where the Void is. You will hide there until all the ships enter the Void just like before. Then we will reset the instruments, and the Void will transport you back to THIS time, as opposed to the time that all the other ships entered. Then you will enter after all has happened as before, and you will come back here.
… I understand.
ARCHITECT: Remember that you are going back in time. There is another G.g.B down there, and another Air Force Zero ship down there as well. You cannot interact with anything. Do nothing other than re-starting those bombs.
* G.g.B looked unsure. *
Yes, Architect.
* Placing a hand on his shoulder. *
ARCHITECT: … you have done well, G.g.B. This is the last task.
* G.g.B nodded and took one last look at Architect as he closed the door to Air Force Zero…
He looked over at one of the guards. *
ARCHITECT: Activate the Void. Set it to September 24th… the day the world ended. Set it to just before the bombs exploded… he can go back an re-activate them after the B.@.Dcrew de-activated them.
* The solder tapped some controls and a massive instrument lifted up a spaceship size apparatus up into the air of the cargo bay…
G.g.B nodded at Architect and hovered the ship toward the Void.
Architect sighed. It was almost over. But this time, for good.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the corridor of the Void. The B.@.Dcrew and P.c.P we’re running down the hall to the cargo bay. *
… so how are we going to do this?
Architect will be sending G.g.B back, presumably in the Air Force Zero ship in one of the bay’s. We are going to the bay where the B.@.Dship is being held. We will send you back around the same time.
And we stop G.g.B from getting to the bombs to re-start them…
… no. G.g.B needs to go back and re-start the bombs, as before, or none of you will enter the Void. Things need to happen as before, as I said. AFTER he re-starts them, you need to de-activate the nuclear chips in the bombs. So they will explode and it will look as it did before, and the ships will still enter the Void as they did before.
How do we do that?
You will fly the B.@.Dship to the silo where the nukes we’re. You will wait until he confronts Mizzle and B-Rush in the past. Then B.@.D will confront G.g.B and finish this.
* Everyone looked at B.@.D. B.@.D simply looked at P.c.P and nodded. *
Then what?
Then you will come back into the Void, after the other ships. I will set it so that it will return you here, not the same time the other ships entered. Then we will return you back in to the Earth world… assuming this works… a few days later… with your friends Tate, Ekobruzzi, and Yochanan… when everything has clamed down. If you stay, people will obviously have questions about what happened. I think you would all agree if it was not the B.@.Dcrew being the only ones there when the Void disappears.
Disappears?
The Void will disappear after my superiors realize that the Architect has failed. They will remove him from the Earth project, and your race will continue on un-interrupted.
* The crew looked at each other. *
Questions?
* They all looked back at him. *
… let’s go.
* The crew followed P.c.P into the cargo bay.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the Cargo Bay with the Air Force Zero ship in it.
The Architect watched the Air Force Zero ship leave the bay through the gate that led him through the Void.
Architect smiled. It was all going to plan. *
ARCHITECT: Did it work? Is he back?
OPERATOR: Yes, sir. I set our instruments to configure the Void to send him back 3 hours before the bombs went off.
ARCHITECT: Excellent. Now we…
OPERATOR: Sir… the Void has been activated from another bay.
* Architect snapped his head back. *
ARCHITECT: … what? Which bay???
* The operator looked back at him with a nervous look. Architect had a sinking feeling. And he knew the answer before his subordinate even opened his mouth. He tapped a communications outlet for the Void facility. *
ARCHITECT: Security to the bay housing the B.@.Dship... NOW!!!
* Fade out. *
* Fade into the cargo bay with the B.@.Dship. P.c.P is at the cargo bay controls. The crew is about to board the ship. *
You have to hurry… they know we’re here. They will be here soon.
Well, let’s get going then. Get in.
* P.c.P simply stood and stared at the B.@.Dcrew... *
… you’re not coming?
… no.
Why not?
Someone needs to appeal to the committee once you cause Architect’s plan to fail.
What are you going to do once Architect gets here?
I will be able to handle Architect.
… how?
Trust me. I have a plan. I’ve already put it into motion.
* B.@.D simply stared at P.c.P… *
… there is no way we’re leaving until you tell us…
* An alarm sounded. *
You have to go. They’re almost here. The Void is set to return you just after G.g.B returned… follow him and stop those bombs. I will handle the rest.
* B.@.D stared back at him... unsure of whether or not to trust him despite an overwhelming feeling that he could... *
… all right, let’s go.
* The crew started to enter the ship. Mizzle paused. *
… what happens if we don’t succeed?
* P.c.P stared directly back at him. *
… you must succeed.
* The crew stared at each other as they boarded the ship. The Void powered up, and the ship lifted…
… as the ship lifted, Architect and some of his soldiers burst into the cargo bay. Architect ran over to P.c.P and pushed him away from the controls…
… but it was too late. The ship disappeared into the Void.
Architect slammed his fists into the controls. He turned around and grabbed P.c.P. *
ARCHITECT: WHERE DID THEY GO?!?!?!
I think you know.
ARCHITECT: … right after G.g.B went in. WHY?!?!?! Why did you bother??? I am just going to find another way.
You may not have time. Once the committee learns that you have multiple breaches to your little plan's timeline...

* END SCENE *
Deja View - Part 1
* BEGIN SCENE *
THE VOID
* Fade into the inside of B.@.D’s cell. He is simply standing there, staring at P.c.P from outside of the cell. *
Where are we?
The Void.
… are my friends alive?
For now.
So… this is it, is it? This was what you wanted?
Not… exactly. You think I’m responsible for this?
Best I can tell, the only one more responsible for this is me for actually letting you lead me around because of a feeling I had.
Your feeling wasn’t entirely wrong.
* B.@.D stared straight ahead at the figure and asked him what he had wanted to ask since his first “experience” where this man appeared to him in a vision. *
ARE you actually P.c.P?
* The figure stared back. *
… yes. The same one you knew.
So we’re you ever with us? Or was this what you wanted all along?
The time has come for me to answer all your questions, B.@.D. I need to start from the beginning. I need to tell you who I really am.
And that is?
My name is Edmund Ventura. Formerly in charge of the Earth Project.
The… Earth Project?
Yes. Earth is a project, like all planets.
… whose project?
From us. My kind. We are the keepers of all planets.
Bullshit.
Denial is the most predictable of all human emotions. But what other explanation can you offer about where you are? About what you have seen? How else did I make that entire bar of people stop and start staring at you? How else could I have been dead and buried, only to be standing before you now?
* B.@.D shook his head… *
I…
It’s true, B.@.D. At the beginning, when this project was under my jurisdiction, I saw great hope for this race. And I passed that onto my leaders. It was I who marked your crew with those colors so that I could show you all as an example of what Earth’s citizens are like as justification as to why the project was a success. That is why the B.@.Dcrew is all colored while the others… your friends Tate and Ekobruzzi for example… are not. I joined you because I believed you possessed the finest qualities of the human race. But understand I couldn’t tell you who I really was. I wanted to help you make the world become a better place. When you killed G.g.B in the Wal-Mart operation in Arkensas, the world was to have ushered in a new era of peace.
… well what the HELL happened?
People above me thought differently, and I was no longer in charge of the project.
Who was?
A man called Architect.
… so whoever that was brought this on? But how…
It was he who re-animated G.g.B, and gave him the power he currently possesses. I told Architect and my leaders that I would not stand by and watch this happen to your race. I planned to work beside the B.@.Dcrew to help however I could. So they had G.g.B make Yochanan kill my human form so that I would no longer be able to really exist on Earth.
So what happened to you?
I could only exist here. I could only watch Architect play out his plan. But there we’re little things I could do to try to prevent it without him knowing.
Like?
Like O.s.H.
… YOU re-animated O.s.H after he died?
… yes. I re-animated him and marked him orange.
Why?!?!?! All the pain and suffering he caused…
It was a means to an end. I used O.s.H to try to end G.g.B. I had planned to eliminate O.s.H after he had completed that task. I didn’t think you could do it on your own. I gave him the same power G.g.B had… but it wasn’t enough.
Why did he capture Yochanan?
O.s.H was… difficult to control. He captured Yochanan looking for me. He needed instructions, but he was impatient. I did not give him instructions for the final plan until I knew it was the last resort. Yochanan had returned to my “grave” looking for me to atone for “killing” me, and O.s.H thought that Yochanan would know where I was when he found him there. But Yochanan knew nothing. And just as he did when he came face to face with G.g.B, Yochanan went mad when he came face to face with O.s.H.
* B.@.D was silent… *
O.s.H couldn’t bring G.g.B down as he was his equal. But I soon ran out of time and had to come up with an emergency plan… THIS emergency plan.
THIS was your emergency plan?
… to fully explain, I need to bring your friends together. But there is not much time. Architect has probably only just discovered what I have done, and he will be looking for me. Will you come with me to your friends?
* B.@.D stared at P.c.P. *
… how do I know I can trust you?
* P.c.P simply laughed and gestured around him. *
What choice do you have at this point? But everything I have told you has been the truth.
So tell me one thing, and make it the truth too. IS there still a chance to bring the Earth back?
… yes. IF we hurry.
* B.@.D sighed. He could not believe this. *
… let’s do it.
* P.c.P smiled and touched a control on a side panel. The door slid open, and B.@.D stepped out into the hallway. P.c.P smiled at him and led him down the corridor.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the inside of the cell where the rest of The B.@.Dcrew is. They are all inside, talking. *
… but it doesn’t make sense. None of this does. There’s too many unknown answers.
I know, but maybe…
* They all paused as the door slid open…
… and B.@.D walked through…
They all stared at him incredulously. B-Rush was the first to walk up to him and shake his hand, smiling. *
… you know, you look pretty good. For a dead guy.
Reports we’re exaggerated. But not by much.
* Katastrophe walked up to him and hugged him. *
… when you weren’t with us after we went into The Void, I thought maybe…
I know. Don’t worry. I’m good.
* Ozi-Style walked up to him and hugged him as well. *
How did you get in??? What is going on???
I’ll explain in…
* He paused as he turned around and saw Mizzle, who simply stared at him…
B.@.D stared back. *
… so, I hand you control of the crew for a few months and the planet is destroyed?
Hey, if you lend someone a tissue you can’t be disappointed if they blow their nose with it.
* B.@.D laughed. *
Touche.
* He stuck out his hand and Mizzle shook it. *
Kat and Ozi told us you we’re alive.
Good to see you too.
This is like a jigsaw puzzle put together by a gaggle of drunken silverback apes. Where do we start trying to figure this out?
Well, I think…
* They all turned around…*
You’ve gotta be…
Son of a…
* …as P.c.P entered the cell.
Everyone in the room besides B.@.D looked at him in complete shock.
P.c.P simply smiled. *
My friends. It’s good to see you again.
* B.@.D realized that only he had seen P.c.P in visions. And he had not shared those with anyone else. Ozi-Style and B-Rush had never even met him at all, only knew of him from stories and pictures. *
Uhhh…
Can we assume…
* P.c.P walked up to shake their hands. *
Yes. I am P.c.P. Nice to finally meet you two. I’ve been watching you.
* Mizzle and Katastrophe moved towards P.c.P. *
… you’re ALIVE?!?!?!
Nice to see you, fruit cup. Care to explain what the FUCK?
* P.c.P looked over at Mizzle and Katastrophe. *
… gladly.
* Fade out. *
* Fade into the inside of the cell with P.c.P and The B.@.Dcrew inside.
P.c.P is inside, having just explained to everyone else what he already explained to B.@.D. *
… and when I learned of Architect’s final plan that he wanted G.g.B to execute, I realized that he would need to “play time”, or you would have been able to stop him.
“Play time”?
Simply put, he needed G.g.B to go back in time after the world had ended to help himself. He needed to go back and re-start bombs that your friends had stopped.
* Mizzle and B-Rush glanced at each other. *
… that’s it. That’s where the other G.g.B came from. The one on the ground in the silo. The one who re-activated the bombs.
* Katastrophe shook her head… *
I don’t…
If he we’re not able to go back and re-start the bombs, then the Earth would never be destroyed because G.g.B would never be able to go back in time to turn them back on.
* OziStyle turned to Katastrophe. *
… so that was why Ekobruzzi asked us if G.g.B was on that ship right before O.s.H attacked us! They had seen another one on the ground! THAT was the one from the future!
* Mizzle nodded. *
… we had Ekobruzzi call you to ask what the hell was going on… so let me get this straight. This “Architect” still has to send G.g.B BACK into the past to re-start those bombs…
So that’s why O.s.H didn’t want G.g.B to enter The Void… because YOU didn’t want him in… because…
… because if G.g.B didn’t make it into the Void, then Architect couldn’t send him back to re-start the bombs. Which means the Earth never would have been destroyed in the first place…
* P.c.P stared at them all. *
… that’s right. You understand.
* B.@.D stared at P.c.P. *
… but G.g.B DID make it in.
… true. But all is not lost.
And how is that?
Because you made it in too.
… but how..
O.s.H was different in G.g.B only in the way that I programmed him to NOT destroy The B.@.Dcrew... Architect programmed G.g.B to destroy the B.@.Dcrew at all costs. I programmed O.s.H to CAPTURE B.@.D and the B.@.Dcrew so that they could bring you in if indeed we we’re not able to stop G.g.B. Call it a last resort.
… so that’s why he didn’t kill me when he captured me. Why he didn’t kill Katastrophe and Ozi-Style when he captured them near the end.
But he didn’t capture me or Mizzle…
There was not enough time to ambush both the B.@.Dship and your friend Ekobruzzi’s Phoenix ship once you attacked G.g.B’s ship. But we are… YOU ARE… incredibly fortunate that you survived as well.
So how does us being alive make a difference? They did see the other G.g.B… the world has been destroyed.
We still have a chance to change it. You can go back in time after G.g.B. All of you.
* They all looked at each other… *
… how…
We need to save the Earth WITHOUT changing the timeline. We still need those ships to enter the Void to complete the cycle, while the Earth STILL moves along afterwards.
How do we do that?
If you can get to G.g.B AFTER Mizzle and B-Rush confront him in the silo, AFTER he re-starts the bombs, then Mizzle and B-Rush will still take the ship up and both G.g.B’s ship and the B.@.Dship will still enter the Void.
… so the bombs still need to explode… but no nukes… so…
… so you need to de-activate the nuclear chips in the bombs… AFTER G.g.B re-starts the countdown. And you need to kill G.g.B.
* They all stood in silence for a few moments. *
* To P.c.P. *
… can we do this?
I won’t lie that this is a last resort plan. But it IS all we have, and I’m sorry that it came to this.
So what’s stopping this from happening again? From Architect from getting another demon and trying to destroy Earth again?
If we can make it past this threat, I can use this example as justification as to why your race should be allowed to continue to prosper. I should get control of this project back.
… what about Tate? And Ekobruzzi?
… and Yochanan…
… I do not know. Tate, Ekobruzzi and Yochanan should be allowed to return to your world once your mission is complete. I did not expect anyone to make it in besides you.
… we could use their help…
* P.c.P shook his head. *
I cannot risk freeing another group of people from their cells or someone will notice and then our job becomes harder.
And O.s.H?
… O.s.H cannot be allowed to continue to wreak havoc. He will not be returned to your world. I brought him back from the dead. This was my responsibility. He could not complete what I needed him to do, but at least he managed to pull off my last resort plan to rescue all of you. But he still must be terminated.
* The entire crew remained silent… until B.@.D spoke. *
What about the original B.@.Dcave...?
...
What you showed me... when I was shot... the original B.@.Dcave... it was destroyed… by 3 figures in hoods and robes…
* The entire B.@.Dcrew stared at him, this being the first time they had heard this vision that P.c.P had shown B.@.D...
P.c.P simply stared back at B.@.D... *
… I’m sorry, I don’t have the answer to that right now.
Does that have anything to do with this…?
I honestly don’t know.
* The crew was silent again, in thought… this time Mizzle was the one to break the silence. *
We can figure that out when the time comes, I guess… what about “Architect”? What’s this guy going to do once he finds out what you’ve done?
… I can handle Architect.
* They all paused again, and there was silence. *
* To everyone. *
… do we have a choice here?
* No one said anything. *
All right. One more time guys. For the last time.
* The B.@.Dcrew all nodded agreement towards their leader. *
… let’s do it.
* Fade out. *

This is like a jigsaw puzzle put together by a gaggle of drunken silverback apes. Where do we start trying to figure this out?
Well, I think…
* They all turned around…*
You’ve gotta be…
Son of a…
* …as P.c.P entered the cell.
Everyone in the room besides B.@.D looked at him in complete shock.
P.c.P simply smiled. *
My friends. It’s good to see you again.
* B.@.D realized that only he had seen P.c.P in visions. And he had not shared those with anyone else. Ozi-Style and B-Rush had never even met him at all, only knew of him from stories and pictures. *
Uhhh…
Can we assume…
* P.c.P walked up to shake their hands. *
Yes. I am P.c.P. Nice to finally meet you two. I’ve been watching you.
* Mizzle and Katastrophe moved towards P.c.P. *
… you’re ALIVE?!?!?!
Nice to see you, fruit cup. Care to explain what the FUCK?
* P.c.P looked over at Mizzle and Katastrophe. *
… gladly.
* Fade out. *
* Fade into the inside of the cell with P.c.P and The B.@.Dcrew inside.
P.c.P is inside, having just explained to everyone else what he already explained to B.@.D. *
… and when I learned of Architect’s final plan that he wanted G.g.B to execute, I realized that he would need to “play time”, or you would have been able to stop him.
“Play time”?
Simply put, he needed G.g.B to go back in time after the world had ended to help himself. He needed to go back and re-start bombs that your friends had stopped.
* Mizzle and B-Rush glanced at each other. *
… that’s it. That’s where the other G.g.B came from. The one on the ground in the silo. The one who re-activated the bombs.
* Katastrophe shook her head… *
I don’t…
If he we’re not able to go back and re-start the bombs, then the Earth would never be destroyed because G.g.B would never be able to go back in time to turn them back on.
* OziStyle turned to Katastrophe. *
… so that was why Ekobruzzi asked us if G.g.B was on that ship right before O.s.H attacked us! They had seen another one on the ground! THAT was the one from the future!
* Mizzle nodded. *
… we had Ekobruzzi call you to ask what the hell was going on… so let me get this straight. This “Architect” still has to send G.g.B BACK into the past to re-start those bombs…
So that’s why O.s.H didn’t want G.g.B to enter The Void… because YOU didn’t want him in… because…
… because if G.g.B didn’t make it into the Void, then Architect couldn’t send him back to re-start the bombs. Which means the Earth never would have been destroyed in the first place…
* P.c.P stared at them all. *
… that’s right. You understand.
* B.@.D stared at P.c.P. *
… but G.g.B DID make it in.
… true. But all is not lost.
And how is that?
Because you made it in too.
… but how..
O.s.H was different in G.g.B only in the way that I programmed him to NOT destroy The B.@.Dcrew... Architect programmed G.g.B to destroy the B.@.Dcrew at all costs. I programmed O.s.H to CAPTURE B.@.D and the B.@.Dcrew so that they could bring you in if indeed we we’re not able to stop G.g.B. Call it a last resort.
… so that’s why he didn’t kill me when he captured me. Why he didn’t kill Katastrophe and Ozi-Style when he captured them near the end.
But he didn’t capture me or Mizzle…
There was not enough time to ambush both the B.@.Dship and your friend Ekobruzzi’s Phoenix ship once you attacked G.g.B’s ship. But we are… YOU ARE… incredibly fortunate that you survived as well.
So how does us being alive make a difference? They did see the other G.g.B… the world has been destroyed.
We still have a chance to change it. You can go back in time after G.g.B. All of you.
* They all looked at each other… *
… how…
We need to save the Earth WITHOUT changing the timeline. We still need those ships to enter the Void to complete the cycle, while the Earth STILL moves along afterwards.
How do we do that?
If you can get to G.g.B AFTER Mizzle and B-Rush confront him in the silo, AFTER he re-starts the bombs, then Mizzle and B-Rush will still take the ship up and both G.g.B’s ship and the B.@.Dship will still enter the Void.
… so the bombs still need to explode… but no nukes… so…
… so you need to de-activate the nuclear chips in the bombs… AFTER G.g.B re-starts the countdown. And you need to kill G.g.B.
* They all stood in silence for a few moments. *
* To P.c.P. *
… can we do this?
I won’t lie that this is a last resort plan. But it IS all we have, and I’m sorry that it came to this.
So what’s stopping this from happening again? From Architect from getting another demon and trying to destroy Earth again?
If we can make it past this threat, I can use this example as justification as to why your race should be allowed to continue to prosper. I should get control of this project back.
… what about Tate? And Ekobruzzi?
… and Yochanan…
… I do not know. Tate, Ekobruzzi and Yochanan should be allowed to return to your world once your mission is complete. I did not expect anyone to make it in besides you.
… we could use their help…
* P.c.P shook his head. *
I cannot risk freeing another group of people from their cells or someone will notice and then our job becomes harder.
And O.s.H?
… O.s.H cannot be allowed to continue to wreak havoc. He will not be returned to your world. I brought him back from the dead. This was my responsibility. He could not complete what I needed him to do, but at least he managed to pull off my last resort plan to rescue all of you. But he still must be terminated.
* The entire crew remained silent… until B.@.D spoke. *
What about the original B.@.Dcave...?
...
What you showed me... when I was shot... the original B.@.Dcave... it was destroyed… by 3 figures in hoods and robes…
* The entire B.@.Dcrew stared at him, this being the first time they had heard this vision that P.c.P had shown B.@.D...
P.c.P simply stared back at B.@.D... *
… I’m sorry, I don’t have the answer to that right now.
Does that have anything to do with this…?
I honestly don’t know.
* The crew was silent again, in thought… this time Mizzle was the one to break the silence. *
We can figure that out when the time comes, I guess… what about “Architect”? What’s this guy going to do once he finds out what you’ve done?
… I can handle Architect.
* They all paused again, and there was silence. *
* To everyone. *
… do we have a choice here?
* No one said anything. *
All right. One more time guys. For the last time.
* The B.@.Dcrew all nodded agreement towards their leader. *
… let’s do it.
* Fade out. *
* END SCENE *
Fade Out - Part 5
* BEGIN SCENE *
THE VOID
* Fade into a large control room. A man is sitting in a single chair, surrounded by TV’s.
The man was pleased. It had gone exactly as planned.
Another man walked into the room, carrying a document of some sort. *
OFFICER: Sir, it’s done.
* Architect waved his hands to one of the TV’s. *
ARCHITECT: I know, I’ve seen it.
OFFICER: Sir… there’s been a complication.
ARCHITECT: Complication?
OFFICER: More people made it out than just our friend…
* The Architect looked back at him. *
ARCHITECT: … excuse me?
* Nervously. *
OFFICER: They have been captured and drugged. They have been put in several separate cells.
* Angrily. *
ARCHITECT: He assured me he would be the only survivor… DAMMIT.
OFFICER: … uh, sir… some of them are the colored ones.
* The Architect shot him another look. *
ARCHITECT: … WHAT???
OFFICER: Yes, sir… we… we think P.c.P might have been involved.
ARCHITECT: … and what has P.c.P to say about this?
OFFICER: He has failed to report in.
ARCHITECT: … he was told to step aside when I took over this project as soon as Earth’s verdict came in… was it all the colored ones who escaped? Even O.s.H?
OFFICER: Him too, but… it’s not all colored ones. Uhh… I have a list right here.
* The officer reached for the document he had carried in, and The Architect snatched it away… he looked at it… *
* He continued to stare at it… *
Architecht: … find P.c.P. I’m going to talk to our friend.
* Fade out. *
* Fade into a large cell. Mizzle, Katasrophe, Ozi-Style, and B-Rush are all unconscious on cots.
Mizzle was the first to stir. As he got up, the others started to rise as well... *
Uhhhhh… you guys made it…
Yeah… you too… how long have we been out?
And where are we…?
I’m guessing The Void… at least you guys made it in too…
So… how did that meticulously planned attack on G.g.B’s ship go?
About as well as yours. O.s.H got us from behind. What happened to that plan to stop those bombs?
G.g.B sealed us out of the room and turned them back on.
But G.g.B was on the ship headed for the Void!
I know… but he… I don’t know. We can’t explain it. But he WAS there. And he was on that Air Force Zero ship as well.
Where are the others? Tate and Ekobruzzi…
… and O.s.H and G.g.B…
… and Yochanan.
I’m guessing they’re in other cells… wait… Yochanan?
* Katastrophe nodded. *
O.s.H had him held captive aboard his ship for months, along with…
* She paused, realizing Mizzle and B-Rush did not know yet… *
… B.@.D.
* Mizzle and B-Rush both shot looks at Katastrophe and Ozi-Style.
Fade out. *
* Fade into the inside of a cell. O.s.H is in the cell, alone.
He is pacing around the cell until he notices a figure walking down the hallway…
He squinted until he recognized the figure. He breathed a sigh of relief. *
Ahhhhhhhhhh… at last.
* It was who he had been waiting for since before he had even entered The Void. *
I thought you’d never show up.
* The figure walked up, looking at O.s.H. *
So… when am I getting out of here?
That’s the thing… there’s been a… hiccup.
Ha ha ha ha ha… hiccup?
* The figure O.s.H knew as P.c.P simply returned his gaze. *
Look… you got me. You got me fair and square when I died in the invasion of Iraq, all right? Then you re-animated me so that I could do what you wanted me to do and I would be set free afterwards.
Let’s not pretend you followed the plan to the letter. Why did you capture Yochanan?
I needed to find you… I needed instructions! Yochanan was at your gravesite! I thought he would know where you we’re!
I told you that you had everything you needed to do what you needed to do, and that you wouldn’t see me until your task was done and that you should not go looking.
Look… I am sorry about Yochanan. But what do you care? I did what you wanted me to do, now it’s time to cut me loose, just like we agreed.
Letting G.g.B get through The Void wasn’t part of the agreement.
Because I had to be YOUR bait. G.g.B got through the Void, because of YOUR package that I had to deliver. Now, I got B.@.D and the others in here, didn’t I? ALIVE. I GOT you what you WANTED!
… you let G.g.B through the Void, O.s.H.
* At that, P.c.P simply turned and walked away. *
HEY… where are you GOING?!?!?!
* O.s.H raised his hand to cut P.c.P down with his orange energy, but nothing happened. O.s.H looked down at his hands. He felt nothing. He felt none of the power he had…
He walked to the bars of his cell and called after the figure… *
I got you what you wanted, I got those kids in here…
* P.c.P continued walking. O.s.H grabbed the bars and shouted after him. *
I DID WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!?! I DID WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO!!!
* P.c.P continued walking away.
Fade out. *
* Fade into a medium-sized cell. Tate, Ekobruzzi, and Yochanan are all unconscious, but a shouting coming from the hallway roused Tate and Ekobruzzi up… *
* Coming from down the corridor… *
I DID WHAT YOU TOLD ME!!!
EKOBRUZZI: … what the hell was that?
TATE: It sounded like O.s.H…
* Both of them looked out the sealed glass window to their cell and saw a figure walking by. They looked at each other, neither recognizing the figure…
… the figure looked into the cell and at the unconscious Yochanan on the ground…
… as the figure focused his gaze on Yochanan, Yochanan’s eyes shot open wide. He immediately got to his feet and ran to the cell window, pushing Tate and Ekobruzzi aside… *
YOCHANAN: I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!!!!!
* The figure sighed and stared back blankly. *
I know.
* … and at that, the figure simply walked away down the corridor without another word, until he was out of view of the cell window… *
YOCHANAN: Wait… WAIT!!!
* … Yochanan slinked back to the corner and slid down until he was sitting, and stared blankly at the wall… completely catatonic again… *
* To Yochanan. *
EKOBRUZZI: Who the hell are you… and who the hell was that???
* Yochanan said nothing, he simply continued to stare straight into space. *
TATE: His name is… Yochanan, I think.
EKOBRUZZI: How do you know him?
TATE: Katastrophe said that was his name when we we’re all on the B.@.Dship. Apparently he had been held there for months.
EKOBRUZZI: … so what the hell does HE have to do with all this? And who was that in the hall?
* Yochanan continued to stare straight at the wall, not hearing anything that the two men we’re saying. *
* Tate simply shook his head. *
TATE: I don’t know.
EKOBRUZZI: Well, we need to start getting some answers here, man. Did you hear anyone say why this guy had been held captive?
TATE: All I know is that O.s.H held him captive with B.@.D...
* Ekobruzzi shot a look at Tate. *
EKOBRUZZI: … B.@.D is ALIVE???
* Fade out. *
* Fade into the inside of a cell. G.g.B is inside, alone.
He is pacing around the cell, until he notices a figure walking down the hallway.
He squinted until he recognized the figure. He breathed a sigh of relief. *
Ahhhhhhhhhh… at last.
* It was who he had been waiting for since before he had even entered The Void. *
I thought you’d never show up.
* The figure walked up, looking at G.g.B. *
So… when am I getting out of here?
ARCHITECT: Right after you explain how it happened that NINE others escaped the destruction of Earth and made it into the Void.
Opposing forces that I was unable to stop. Between O.s.H and the B.@.Dcrew...
ARCHITECT: Enough. I know. It doesn’t matter now. You need to do one last thing. I need you to go back to re-start the nuclear bombs that B.@.D’s friends shut off. It needs to go exactly as it did before, then the cycle and the destruction of Earth will be complete.
… so that’s why B.@.D’s friends said they saw another me on the ground to re-start the bombs. I had wondered.
ARCHITECT: That confirms it. Are you ready?
Yes, Architect.
* Architect pressed a button and the cell slid open.
Fade out. *
* Fade into a small cell. B.@.D is inside, alone.
He sighed. He had enough of being held captive when O.s.H had them.
But this was much worse.
The world had ended, and all he had now was time to sit and think about it, in this… this… whatever this was.
He stood up as a figure approached his cell… this was the first activity that he had heard since he had woken up here. He did not even know how long he had been there.
He stood up and walked to the window.
The figure stepped into view. B.@.D stared at him…
And this time, he was not surprised to see him. But for the first time, this was the only time in a very long time that he felt like he was seeing him outside a hallucination. *
* The figure smiled a rueful smile at B.@.D... *
Hello, B.@.D.
* Fade out. *

Fade Out - Part 4
* BEGIN SCENE *
???
* Fade into B.@.D closing his eyes as he hit the bulkhead…
… and opening his eyes to something other than the inside of the B.@.Dship.
He looked around, and he was standing outside the ruins of the original B.@.Dcave again…
… another experience? *
God… dammit.
* B.@.D hung his head, again coming to the realization that they had lost… that the world had been destroyed… *
… and now you know the truth.
* B.@.D’s heart lurched into his throat, and he turned around, and saw P.c.P looking at him… no smile this time, just standing there expressionless… *
… I listened to you… I trusted you… all this time… you lead us to believe you we’re dead. You told me faking my death was the right thing to do so I lived on the other side of the world for months. You told me letting O.s.H capture me was the right thing to do so I lived like an internment camp prisoner. You…
… I’m sorry it had to happen like this, B.@.D, I truly am, but your world had run out of time and I could not afford the luxury of doing things the right way.
* He grabbed P.c.P by the collar. *
Why the fuck did you do this? WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!
… it became apparent to me some time ago that there we’re forces beyond my control that would bring your world to an end.
… what? So what…
… but for what it’s worth, you’ve done well. You followed the path… you are one of the only beings who could have done so under such circumstances but I see now that I chose well. We are exactly where we need to be…
… what…? The fucking Earth has been destroyed!!!
We will have another chance…
* He motioned to his side and up in the sky… B.@.D looked above the illusion of the old B.@.Dcave…
A Void...
A huge Void. Like a tunnel to somewhere unseen. *
… where does it go? What’s in there?
You’ll have to trust me.
* B.@.D looked right at P.c.P… *
… you expect me to…
* P.c.P shook his head. *
I can only tell you the truth. I’ve told it to you up to this point. Everything you’ve gone through, everything the world has gone through has been for a reason. So far, you’ve stayed that course. You are almost there… all I can do is what I’ve done so far. And that is point you in the right direction.
* B.@.D stared at the void… *
… and you’re trying to tell me that the right direction is in there?
You’ve done everything you are supposed to do… just let what is going to happen now… happen.
… so do what, exactly?
Do nothing. It’s over. It’s done. You’ve done well, B.@.D... Now just have a little faith.
* B.@.D shook his head… *
… I’ve done well…? The whole Earth… why should I believe you after all this?
Everything else is lost, B.@.D... what choice do you have?
* B.@.D looked at P.c.P one more time, never having been more confused, never having been so full of fear and contempt, nor having felt this much loss… *
… trust me.
* … and with that, B.@.D woke up on the bridge of the B.@.Dship again…
… and saw the unconscious bodies of Katastrophe, Ozi-Style and Tate. He also saw O.s.H at the controls of the B.@.Dship. closing in on Air Force Zero… *
Sorry, G.g.B… I allowed you to destroy the Earth. But you will not make it into the Void for the final victory. That victory is MINE.
* He touch a control and the B.@.Dship started firing at G.g.B’s Air Force Zero…
Fade out. *
G.g.B’s AIR FORCE ZERO
* Fade in to G.g.B advancing on Mizzle, B-Rush and Ekobruzzi…
… when the ship shook violently and the force sent G.g.B tumbling to the bulkhead.
Mizzle looked outside the screen and saw The B.@.Dship approaching them while firing on them…
G.g.B looked at the screen in terror, now noticing the B.@.Dship himself. He turned to Mizzle and picked him up off the ground from where Mizzle had landed… *
TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO STOP OR WE ALL DIE!!!
* At first Mizzle felt fear at the demon G.g.B grabbing him, but then remembered what this had come down to… he smiled at G.g.B. *
You just destroyed the world. I’ll happily go down if you go down with me, same as when B.@.D and me we’re ready to die in Arkensas in that nuke blast… where this whole fucking mess started. But at least I’ll be able to finish it.
* G.g.B did not let go of Mizzle but snarled over at B-Rush… B-Rush looked over at Mizzle before returning G.g.B’s snarl. *
Sorry, pal. You just killed my wife and child. Going down with you will be a pleasure.
* G.g.B looked over at Ekobruzzi, who simply scoffed and smiled at him, echoing the same sentiment as B-Rush… *
EKOBRUZZI: Ciao, amigo.
* The ship lurched again as it came under further fire from the B.@.Dship...
G.g.B released Mizzle and ran to some controls. G.g.B pushed some buttons and Mizzle saw the viewscreen of the ship shift, and saw The Void come into view…
… they we’re heading straight for it. The ship lurched again.
Mizzle had no idea if they would make it… but it certainly didn’t feel like it.
Fade out. *
THE B.@.Dship
* Fade into O.s.H at the controls, laughing, yelling at G.g.B’s Air Force Zero on the viewscreen… *
YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT!!!
* B.@.D looked around the bridge. Katastrophe, Ozi-Style and Tate we’re just regaining their senses as he was… he looked over at Yochanan who was still standing on the deck, staring straight ahead… *
Ughhh… what’s happening?
O.s.H is firing on G.g.B’s ship. He doesn’t want him to make it into the void… G.g.B’s ship is heading towards it… looks like we’re going after him…
What do we do?
TATE: The world has already been destroyed…
But Mizzle, B-Rush and Ekobruzzi are on that ship!!!
TATE: G.g.B is also on that ship… maybe we should let him destroy it. We can handle one demon better than two.
We can handle G.g.B!!!
TATE: We don’t even know if they are still alive!
We can’t let him destroy that ship!!!
… we won’t.
* B.@.D looked over at a station near the back… he knew the B.@.Dship, he knew how it worked, he could find a way to stop this… he looked forward. O.s.H was still focused on the screen and destroying G.g.B’s ship…
He got up and made his way over to the station…
… and hit a switch and de-activated all the weapons on the ship…
… the ship stopped firing, and he saw O.s.H start to struggle with the controls, unable to fire... *
… WHAT?!?!?! NO!!!
* He banged his hands on the controls…
Fade out. *
G.g.B’s AIR FORCE ZERO
* Mizzle braced against the deck as he waited for the next shot to hit the ship…
… but the shot never came. He looked over at Ekobruzzi and B-Rush, who both looked more confused than he was.
He looked up at G.g.B, who had a relieved, terrifying grimace on his face. A transmission beep told everyone that there was an incoming transmission…
… and everyone on the ship looked at the screen in shocked surprise as O.s.H’s terrifying face filled the screen on the bridge of The B.@.Dship before he screamed… *
GET AWAY FROM THE VOID!!!
* G.g.B’s shock and surprise was even more apparent, but he simply laughed and screamed back. *
NEVER, YOU FAILURE!!!
* He tapped some controls and Mizzle felt Air Force Zero fire it’s impressive weapons arsenal. Mizzle knew the weapons had been fired at the B.@.Dship... *
O.s.H got the B.@.Dship?!?!?!
EKOBRUZZI: Are they dead? Are they on board???
It doesn’t matter now… if they are then they better find a way to make it into the Void too… I wonder if there’s something we can do to help...
We could try to shut off the weapons…
EKOBRUZZI: We don’t know how… this isn’t our ship.
I know one way.
* Mizzle grabbed two of the three guns out of Ekobruzzi’s holster. He handed one to B-Rush.
Ekobruzzi grabbed the remaining gun. The three of them looked at each other and smiled… and pointed it towards equipment around the ship…
… and all 3 fired in unison. Equipment exploded around the command center of the ship, and they felt the ship stop firing.
… G.g.B turned around. He raised his hand towards the three… and green sparks danced in his hand again and he screamed with rage… *
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Mizzle braced… but as he prepared to be struck down, he noticed swirls of white light coming from the Void…
… they we’re entering it. Slowly his whole world went white, and he could not see anything around him anymore…
… and didn’t know if he ever would again. The last thing he remembered doing was swallowing hard before he couldn’t even feel himself…
Fade out. *
THE B.@.DSHIP
* Fade into the inside of the B.@.Dship.
The ship was hit once with fire from the Air Force Zero ship, then B.@.D saw that G.g.B’s Air Force Zero ship was enveloped by the void…
* O.s.H screamed at the viewscreen… *
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* He turned around to B.@.D, knowing that B.@.D was the reason that G.g.B’s ship made it into the Void…
B.@.D expected to be struck down by O.s.H but not caring anymore… ready for his end, ready for it to be all over…
… but O.s.H simply smiled at him.
… an angry, terrifying smile.
… as B.@.D looked at Ozi-Style, Katastrophe, and Tate… as they all looked back at him… none of them sure what to expect next… only Yochanan remained unchanged, still staring straight ahead, completely catatonic…
… as they saw swirls of white energy shoot out from the void and envelop the ship. O.s.H continued to stare at B.@.D as B.@.D felt the entire bridge go whiter than any white he had ever seen… *
WE’RE ENTERING THE VOID!!!
* As he felt everything and everything slip away from him, even the deck on which he stood, he thought that one last thought again…
The world had ended, and they we’re entering The Void.
Fade out. *
* END SCENE *
???
* Fade into B.@.D closing his eyes as he hit the bulkhead…
… and opening his eyes to something other than the inside of the B.@.Dship.
He looked around, and he was standing outside the ruins of the original B.@.Dcave again…
… another experience? *
God… dammit.
* B.@.D hung his head, again coming to the realization that they had lost… that the world had been destroyed… *
… and now you know the truth.
* B.@.D’s heart lurched into his throat, and he turned around, and saw P.c.P looking at him… no smile this time, just standing there expressionless… *
… I listened to you… I trusted you… all this time… you lead us to believe you we’re dead. You told me faking my death was the right thing to do so I lived on the other side of the world for months. You told me letting O.s.H capture me was the right thing to do so I lived like an internment camp prisoner. You…
… I’m sorry it had to happen like this, B.@.D, I truly am, but your world had run out of time and I could not afford the luxury of doing things the right way.
* He grabbed P.c.P by the collar. *
Why the fuck did you do this? WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!
… it became apparent to me some time ago that there we’re forces beyond my control that would bring your world to an end.
… what? So what…
… but for what it’s worth, you’ve done well. You followed the path… you are one of the only beings who could have done so under such circumstances but I see now that I chose well. We are exactly where we need to be…
… what…? The fucking Earth has been destroyed!!!
We will have another chance…
* He motioned to his side and up in the sky… B.@.D looked above the illusion of the old B.@.Dcave…
A Void...
A huge Void. Like a tunnel to somewhere unseen. *
… where does it go? What’s in there?
You’ll have to trust me.
* B.@.D looked right at P.c.P… *
… you expect me to…
* P.c.P shook his head. *
I can only tell you the truth. I’ve told it to you up to this point. Everything you’ve gone through, everything the world has gone through has been for a reason. So far, you’ve stayed that course. You are almost there… all I can do is what I’ve done so far. And that is point you in the right direction.
* B.@.D stared at the void… *
… and you’re trying to tell me that the right direction is in there?
You’ve done everything you are supposed to do… just let what is going to happen now… happen.
… so do what, exactly?
Do nothing. It’s over. It’s done. You’ve done well, B.@.D... Now just have a little faith.
* B.@.D shook his head… *
… I’ve done well…? The whole Earth… why should I believe you after all this?
Everything else is lost, B.@.D... what choice do you have?
* B.@.D looked at P.c.P one more time, never having been more confused, never having been so full of fear and contempt, nor having felt this much loss… *
… trust me.
* … and with that, B.@.D woke up on the bridge of the B.@.Dship again…
… and saw the unconscious bodies of Katastrophe, Ozi-Style and Tate. He also saw O.s.H at the controls of the B.@.Dship. closing in on Air Force Zero… *
Sorry, G.g.B… I allowed you to destroy the Earth. But you will not make it into the Void for the final victory. That victory is MINE.

Fade Out - Part 3
* BEGIN SCENE *
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
* Fade into Mizzle hanging his head against the blast door. The countdown continued. *
We can’t get in… there’s no way past this blast door. That’s the only way into that control room.
I don’t know… is he still in there?
* B-Rush went and peered through the window looking for G.g.B. *
I can’t see him anymore…
He must have left.
Man, we gotta go.
Where? Why does where we go matter if we can’t stop this countdown…
We don’t know why Katastrophe lost contact! And G.g.B’s Air Force One is still up there! If we find that, there might be something we could use to stop the nukes! It said “remote” detonation, right? We CAN’T do it from here!!! It has to be done from somewhere else, probably up there!
… but what about the fact that now there may be more than one G.g.B?
We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, man. We need to go SOMEWHERE to try to stop this remote detonation. Can you think of a better place than G.g.B’s ship?
* Mizzle stared ahead into the room. He reminded himself of something B.@.D had told him once. That as long as there was time, there was still hope. *
… you’re right. Let’s go.
* Fade out. *
THE B.@.DSHIP
* Fade in to Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate, all on their knees while handcuffed. O.s.H is standing over them. *
My friends… my dear, dear friends. How good to see you again!
Be still, my beating, beating heart.
What do you have to do with all this?
I have everything to do with this.
Meaning…?
* O.s.H looked directly at Katastrophe. *
You ask a lot of questions, my dear.
I tend to get like that when someone takes over my ship, dear.
* O.s.H smiled. *
Oh, we both know that this isn’t YOUR ship, Katastrophe…
* Katastrophe, Ozi-Style and Tate looked at each other, then back up at O.s.H. *
It’s his.
* O.s.H moved to the side. The sliding door to the command center opened…
… and the guards threw the beaten body of B.@.D on the floor.
The eyes of Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate went wide. *
… does it feel like coming home, B.@.D...?
* Fade out. *
THE PHOENIX
* Fade into the control room of the ship. Ekobruzzi is in the centre in the command chair, with Mizzle and B-Rush manning some stations along with Ekobruzzi’s crew. *
EKOBRUZZI: … anything?
Nothing. No sign of The B.@.Dship. Nothing besides us but G.g.B’s Air Force Zero.
They said they would be using cloud cover to get closer to G.g.B. Maybe they’re hiding.
They would have intercepted him by now. And if they could see us, wouldn’t they contact us?
We’re using the cloud cover to get closer to him too. So maybe they can’t see us anymore than we can see them.
* Shaking his head. *
EKOBRUZZI: If they’re still alive, we can’t wait for them. He’s getting closer to the void which probably mean that those bombs are close to going off. How much farther?
HENCHMAN: We are ready to launch our assault now. We can drop out of the cloud cover and open fire when you are ready.
* Ekobruzzi stared over at Mizzle and B-Rush… *
… let’s do it.
* Ekobruzzi nodded. *
EKOBRUZZI: Battlestations!
* Fade out. *
THE B.@.DSHIP
* Fade into the bridge. B.@.D is regaining his senses off the ground. Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate looked at him in disbelief. *
B.@.D!!!
B.@.D!!!
TATE: B.@.D!!!
Hey, guys.
“Hey, guys?” We thought you we’re fucking dead!!!
Ekobruzzi told us you’d been killed!
* Looking up at O.s.H. *
… that’s what O.s.H wanted everyone to think. Ekobruzzi thought I HAD been killed.
* O.s.H smiled. His eyes glowed orange. B.@.D just glared at him. *
What have they done to you??? What does he want?
I don’t know any more than you guys do. He’s had me in solitary with…
* As if to drive the point home, one of O.s.H’s guards escorted Yochanan in the room. Yochanan’s stare was constant, even as he looked down at Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, Tate and B.@.D, completely placated and tranquilized. They did not even have him in handcuffs now. *
Yochanan?!?!?! You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
Yeah.
THAT’S the Yochanan you guys talked about? What happened to him? What have they done to him?
I don’t know. The same thing G.g.B did to him to make him go insane, before we sent him to the mental hospital, I think.
How did they get Yoch…
Enough, my friends. All your questions will be answered when the end comes.
* Katastrophe looked at B.@.D. *
… so he’s trying to end the world too? Is he with G.g.B or…
* O.s.H slapped Katastrophe across the face. Tate struggled against his handcuffs but was unable to get free. A guard struck him in the head with the base of his gun and Tate went down, dazed. *
Enough, I said. There’s something I want you all to see.
* O.s.H nodded to a henchman who activated the viewscreen.
They we’re still under cloud cover, but could see two ships having a firefight in the distance. *
Take us in closer.
* They all watched, except for Yochanan who still stared into the distance, as the ships grew closer. B.@.D thought he recognized one of the ships… *
… is that Ekobruzzi’s Phoenix ship???
Yeah. Hopefully Mizzle and B-Rush are with him. They we’re on the ground in the middle of asking us something when we we’re attacked. We lost contact.
They must not have stopped the nukes… the other one is G.g.B’s ship. His new Air Force Zero.
* O.s.H simply smiled. B.@.D watched as the two ships continued to have a firefight. The Phoenix struck a solid shot against the underbelly of G.g.B’s Air Force One ship, and then circled underneath to dock at the immobile Air Force One… *
… is he boarding it???
Yeah. They must be going after the nukes…!
* B.@.D looked at Ozi-Style. *
… nukes?
* Fade out. *
G.G.B’s AIR FORCE ZERO
* Mizzle, B-Rush, and Ekobruzzi raced through the halls of the ship. Many soldiers fired at them. The trio either cut them down with gunfire or eluded their shots.
They raced towards the top of the ship where the command center was located and rushed through the door.
Numerous soldiers wheeled around in shock that they had made it this far. They we’re all cut down by the gunfire of Mizzle, B-Rush, and Ekobruzzi.
G.g.B saw them and drew back… Mizzle jumped over a railing and pointed his gun at him. G.g.B quickly put his hands onto a control switch at the panel he leaned again. *
… Mizzle… it’s good to see you again.
Yeah, well, this 20 minutes we’ve spent apart has been agonizing for me, too.
* G.g.B quizzically looked at Mizzle. *
… I beg your pardon?
I guess you’ve added being in 2 places at once to your fancy parlor tricks.
… I don’t follow.
Sure you don’t.
EKOBRUZZI: How do we shut off the bombs?
* G.g.B laughed. *
… you don’t.
* Mizzle did not take his eyes off of G.g.B. *
… why are you doing this?
* Staring straight back at Mizzle. *
… unfortunately, that is not for you to find out. But I’m glad you could be here to see the end since your other friends cannot.
* He pushed a button on the panel behind him…
… and the 3 of them felt the floor of the deck shake as the deafening roar of an explosion rocked the planet underneath them.
They stared at the floor in shock as the explosive mushroom cloud that erupted beneath them grew from Los Angeles across the United States, up to Canada, below to South America, then across the oceans until it blanketed the whole world.
Mizzle stared at the screen, shocked. A feeling erupted in the pit of his stomach as he looked at B-Rush and Ekobruzzi, both staring at the screen as well… both overcome with rage and emotion, B-Rush at having lost his wife and his unborn child, Ekobruzzi having lost his family as well…
G.g.B was smiling at the screen. B-Rush turned and jumped at him and G.g.B did not even turn to meet him, he simply raised his hand and B-Rush went flying across the command center and slammed hard against a wall.
Ekobruzzi grabbed a gun out of his jacket and raised it toward G.g.B, who simply raised his other hand and Ekobruzzi went flying across the command center just as B-Rush had.
Mizzle simply stared at G.g.B, knowing that it would do no good to go after him. Already having lost the battle, lost the Earth, Mizzle barely recognized when G.g.B turned to face him, eyes glowing green, and Mizzle felt his body go flying across the command center.
He heard G.g.B’s voice as he struggled to regain his senses… *
... now the time has finally come to finish you. You cannot be allowed to enter into The Void with me.
* He looked up and saw G.g.B walking towards them with his arms outstretched, green energy dancing across the palm of his hand…
… and if the world hadn’t just ended, even if he thought he had a chance against this demon who had just ended the world, Mizzle decided that it would be a lot easier to get up and fight.
Fade out. *
THE B.@.DSHIP
* B.@.D looked around at the bodies of his friends who had just been thrown across the bridge after charging at O.s.H after watching the Earth explode beneath them. O.s.H had just smiled at the screen with his eyes closed when Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate had charged at him, only to be thrown across the bridge.
He looked over at Yochanan, who simply stood there.
He decided that their mission had failed. The Earth had been destroyed, there was nothing left to lose. He walked toward O.s.H, who turned to stare at him and smiled as his eyes glowed orange… *
… I can’t afford for you and your friends to do anything stupid before we can make it into the Void, B.@.D... I need you there when we find out what is supposed to happen next…
* And as B.@.D felt his body fly across the bridge and hit a wall. As he slipped into unconsciousness, he came to a realization.
Not only had the world just ended, but at least one of the two demons responsible didn’t even know why.
His eyes closed, as did his last glimmer of hope.
They had lost.
The world had ended.
Fade out. *

* O.s.H moved to the side. The sliding door to the command center opened…
… and the guards threw the beaten body of B.@.D on the floor.
The eyes of Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate went wide. *
… does it feel like coming home, B.@.D...?
* Fade out. *
THE PHOENIX
* Fade into the control room of the ship. Ekobruzzi is in the centre in the command chair, with Mizzle and B-Rush manning some stations along with Ekobruzzi’s crew. *
EKOBRUZZI: … anything?
Nothing. No sign of The B.@.Dship. Nothing besides us but G.g.B’s Air Force Zero.
They said they would be using cloud cover to get closer to G.g.B. Maybe they’re hiding.
They would have intercepted him by now. And if they could see us, wouldn’t they contact us?
We’re using the cloud cover to get closer to him too. So maybe they can’t see us anymore than we can see them.
* Shaking his head. *
EKOBRUZZI: If they’re still alive, we can’t wait for them. He’s getting closer to the void which probably mean that those bombs are close to going off. How much farther?
HENCHMAN: We are ready to launch our assault now. We can drop out of the cloud cover and open fire when you are ready.
* Ekobruzzi stared over at Mizzle and B-Rush… *
… let’s do it.
* Ekobruzzi nodded. *
EKOBRUZZI: Battlestations!
* Fade out. *
THE B.@.DSHIP
* Fade into the bridge. B.@.D is regaining his senses off the ground. Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate looked at him in disbelief. *
B.@.D!!!
B.@.D!!!
TATE: B.@.D!!!
Hey, guys.
“Hey, guys?” We thought you we’re fucking dead!!!
Ekobruzzi told us you’d been killed!
* Looking up at O.s.H. *
… that’s what O.s.H wanted everyone to think. Ekobruzzi thought I HAD been killed.
* O.s.H smiled. His eyes glowed orange. B.@.D just glared at him. *
What have they done to you??? What does he want?
I don’t know any more than you guys do. He’s had me in solitary with…
* As if to drive the point home, one of O.s.H’s guards escorted Yochanan in the room. Yochanan’s stare was constant, even as he looked down at Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, Tate and B.@.D, completely placated and tranquilized. They did not even have him in handcuffs now. *
Yochanan?!?!?! You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
Yeah.
THAT’S the Yochanan you guys talked about? What happened to him? What have they done to him?
I don’t know. The same thing G.g.B did to him to make him go insane, before we sent him to the mental hospital, I think.
How did they get Yoch…
Enough, my friends. All your questions will be answered when the end comes.
* Katastrophe looked at B.@.D. *
… so he’s trying to end the world too? Is he with G.g.B or…
* O.s.H slapped Katastrophe across the face. Tate struggled against his handcuffs but was unable to get free. A guard struck him in the head with the base of his gun and Tate went down, dazed. *
Enough, I said. There’s something I want you all to see.
* O.s.H nodded to a henchman who activated the viewscreen.
They we’re still under cloud cover, but could see two ships having a firefight in the distance. *
Take us in closer.
* They all watched, except for Yochanan who still stared into the distance, as the ships grew closer. B.@.D thought he recognized one of the ships… *
… is that Ekobruzzi’s Phoenix ship???
Yeah. Hopefully Mizzle and B-Rush are with him. They we’re on the ground in the middle of asking us something when we we’re attacked. We lost contact.
They must not have stopped the nukes… the other one is G.g.B’s ship. His new Air Force Zero.
* O.s.H simply smiled. B.@.D watched as the two ships continued to have a firefight. The Phoenix struck a solid shot against the underbelly of G.g.B’s Air Force One ship, and then circled underneath to dock at the immobile Air Force One… *
… is he boarding it???
Yeah. They must be going after the nukes…!
* B.@.D looked at Ozi-Style. *
… nukes?
* Fade out. *
G.G.B’s AIR FORCE ZERO
* Mizzle, B-Rush, and Ekobruzzi raced through the halls of the ship. Many soldiers fired at them. The trio either cut them down with gunfire or eluded their shots.
They raced towards the top of the ship where the command center was located and rushed through the door.
Numerous soldiers wheeled around in shock that they had made it this far. They we’re all cut down by the gunfire of Mizzle, B-Rush, and Ekobruzzi.
G.g.B saw them and drew back… Mizzle jumped over a railing and pointed his gun at him. G.g.B quickly put his hands onto a control switch at the panel he leaned again. *
… Mizzle… it’s good to see you again.
Yeah, well, this 20 minutes we’ve spent apart has been agonizing for me, too.
* G.g.B quizzically looked at Mizzle. *
… I beg your pardon?
I guess you’ve added being in 2 places at once to your fancy parlor tricks.
… I don’t follow.
Sure you don’t.
EKOBRUZZI: How do we shut off the bombs?
* G.g.B laughed. *
… you don’t.
* Mizzle did not take his eyes off of G.g.B. *
… why are you doing this?
* Staring straight back at Mizzle. *
… unfortunately, that is not for you to find out. But I’m glad you could be here to see the end since your other friends cannot.
* He pushed a button on the panel behind him…
… and the 3 of them felt the floor of the deck shake as the deafening roar of an explosion rocked the planet underneath them.
They stared at the floor in shock as the explosive mushroom cloud that erupted beneath them grew from Los Angeles across the United States, up to Canada, below to South America, then across the oceans until it blanketed the whole world.
Mizzle stared at the screen, shocked. A feeling erupted in the pit of his stomach as he looked at B-Rush and Ekobruzzi, both staring at the screen as well… both overcome with rage and emotion, B-Rush at having lost his wife and his unborn child, Ekobruzzi having lost his family as well…
G.g.B was smiling at the screen. B-Rush turned and jumped at him and G.g.B did not even turn to meet him, he simply raised his hand and B-Rush went flying across the command center and slammed hard against a wall.
Ekobruzzi grabbed a gun out of his jacket and raised it toward G.g.B, who simply raised his other hand and Ekobruzzi went flying across the command center just as B-Rush had.
Mizzle simply stared at G.g.B, knowing that it would do no good to go after him. Already having lost the battle, lost the Earth, Mizzle barely recognized when G.g.B turned to face him, eyes glowing green, and Mizzle felt his body go flying across the command center.
He heard G.g.B’s voice as he struggled to regain his senses… *
... now the time has finally come to finish you. You cannot be allowed to enter into The Void with me.
* He looked up and saw G.g.B walking towards them with his arms outstretched, green energy dancing across the palm of his hand…
… and if the world hadn’t just ended, even if he thought he had a chance against this demon who had just ended the world, Mizzle decided that it would be a lot easier to get up and fight.
Fade out. *
THE B.@.DSHIP
* B.@.D looked around at the bodies of his friends who had just been thrown across the bridge after charging at O.s.H after watching the Earth explode beneath them. O.s.H had just smiled at the screen with his eyes closed when Katastrophe, Ozi-Style, and Tate had charged at him, only to be thrown across the bridge.
He looked over at Yochanan, who simply stood there.
He decided that their mission had failed. The Earth had been destroyed, there was nothing left to lose. He walked toward O.s.H, who turned to stare at him and smiled as his eyes glowed orange… *
… I can’t afford for you and your friends to do anything stupid before we can make it into the Void, B.@.D... I need you there when we find out what is supposed to happen next…
* And as B.@.D felt his body fly across the bridge and hit a wall. As he slipped into unconsciousness, he came to a realization.
Not only had the world just ended, but at least one of the two demons responsible didn’t even know why.
His eyes closed, as did his last glimmer of hope.
They had lost.
The world had ended.
Fade out. *
* END SCENE *
