SC1. INT/EXT. FLASHBACK OF PREVIOUS EPISODE
[Voice over rapidly recounts the
events of the previous episode over
a montage of its key scenes]
YOUNG SASSY FEMALE VO:
Last time on Caption Impulse Version 3.1, Reeyukee
and Tivatt received a video call from Dad who was
overjoyed at finally locating his son and promised to
move heaven and Earth to bring him home! After a
heartfelt and touching reunion; Dad sent to Reeyukee
the Super FX Chips, upgrades for his PS2 Magnatron
Gloves that allow him to generate astonishing bursts
of energy known as the Hadoken attack! After a brief
training session it was off with the Carisian
Commandos of the 55th brigade to the Supreme nation of
Yarwin to mine for raritanium but this was yet
another Hydracite trap! A colossal energy shield had
been constructed around Yarwin blocking the Carisians
ships from entering! After the tragic sacrifice of
Carisian Commando Tarmex, Scion emerged from the
shield and began leaping from ship to ship,
destroying them with devastating bolts of energy!
Reeyukee stepped up to the plate and a tense battle
occurred between the two spanning from the Carisian
ships on one side of the shield into the hidden
Hydracite base on the other! This battle was to be
cut short as Tivatt instructed Reeyukee to focus his
efforts on finding the spell caster of the energy
shield before it reached terminal ascension,
preventing the Carisians from ever getting inside!
Reeyukee raced through the compound chased by a
growing number of Hydracite demons and came close to
his doom a great number of times! Victory was now
insight as Reeyukee spotted the spell caster; a green
cloud of energy-based gas casting red mist into the
sky! He leapt into the air, generated his energy in
order to smash it with the Hadoken attack but was
routed by Scion before he could commit the deed and
sent flying over the edge of the fortress with a
kinetic spell! Will Reeyukee meet his doom or will he
use his trademark skill and cunning to somehow flip
this situation on its head? To find out, stay tuned
for the latest spectacular episode of Captain Impulse
Version 3.1!
SC2.EXT. HYDRACITE FLYING FORTRESS [20:45]
[REEYUKEE IS PLUMMETING FROM THE
FLYING HYDRACITE FORTRESS. THE AIR
IS JET BLACK SAVE FOR VARIOUS
LIGHTNING BOLTS IN THE SKY. THERE
ARE DOZENS OF HYDRACITE WARRIORS
RIDING BIRDS OF PREY IN THE SKY.
THE FORTRESS HOVERS IN THE CLOUDS
SUPPORTED BY HUGE PROPELLOR BLADES.
THERE IS SMOKE BILLOWING FROM ITS
- 3 -
CHIMNEYS AND A DEEP AND CONSTANT
CHIME RINGS IN THE BACKGROUND]
REEYUKEE:
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
[REEYUKEE’S PLUMMET BEGINS TO BUILD
SPEED. TIVATT EMERGES FROM THE
CLOUDS AND SWOOPS UNDERNEATH]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
[TWO ARMS EXTEND FROM TIVATT’S
COCKPIT AND A GIANT BLUE AIRBAG
FORMS IN BETWEEN THEM WHICH ENGULFS
REEYUKEE AS HE LANDS SOFTLY]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Tivatt!! Tivatt, you saved me!!
TIVATT:
Correct.
REEYUKEE:
Thank you Tivatt, thank you, I love you!! I love you
so much!!!
TIVATT:
Indeed.
REEYUKEE:
How, how’d you get through the shield?!!
TIVATT:
I followed you and Scion through the fissure.
[TIVATT FLIES TOWARDS THE ENERGY
SHIELD AWAY FROM THE FORTRESS]
REEYUKEE:
Where you goin?! You’re goin the wrong way! We, we
gotta go back, Tivatt, we gotta get the spell caster!
TIVATT:
Negative. The spell caster has reached terminal
ascension and the energy shield around Yarwin is now
permanent. It cannot be destroyed.
REEYUKEE:
But that means we can’t get out!
TIVATT:
Incorrect.
REEYUKEE:
Huh?!
- 4 -
TIVATT:
As the energy shield has just reached critical mass,
its molecular structure will be temporarily unstable
meaning a focused attack consisting of my weapons in
conjunction with your Hadoken attack will be
sufficient to create another fissure within its
matrix and allow us to escape.
[GENERAL DESTRUCTOR AND SCION’S
VOICES ECHO COLDLY IN THE SKY.
REEYUKEE LOOKS AROUND IN A PANIC
STRICKEN MANNER]
GENERAL DESTRUCTOR VO:
Carisian Commando and sentient android, the moment of
your demise is at hand. You were foolish to believe
that you could infiltrate my domain and best my
Hydracite regime. You will now pay penance for such
arrogance.
SCION VO:
You will pay with your souls.
GENERAL DESTRUCTOR VO:
Welcome to your doom.
[THE SKY IS NOW FILLED WITH CROWING
HYDRACITE BIRDS OF PREY ALL OF
WHICH ARE HEADING FOR REEYUKEE AND
TIVATT. GENERAL DESTRUCTOR LAUGHS
MANIACALLY]
REEYUKEE:
We gotta get outta here!
TIVATT:
Agreed. I am now uploading the strike location data
to your Infravisor.
[THROUGH REEYUKEE’S INFRAVISOR, HIS
FIELD OF VISION DISPLAYS A BRIGHT
WHITE RING IN THE CENTRE OF THE RED
ENERGY SHIELD. THERE IS A WHITE
ARROW LEADING TO THIS RING
CONNECTED TO THE FLASHING WORDS
“USE HADOKEN HERE”. REEYUKEE STANDS
ON TIVATT’S HULL AND ASSUMES THE
HADOKEN POSITION AS THE HYDRACITE
BIRDS OF PREY PURSUE WHILE
BREATHING FLAMES AND ENERGY BOLTS.
SMALL CLAMPS EMERGE AND BIND HIS
FEET TO THE FLOOR AS TIVATT BARREL
ROLLS TO AVOID THE BLASTS]
REEYUKEE’S PS2 MAGNATRON GLOVES:
Hadoken attack optimised.
REEYUKEE:
I’m ready, Tivatt! I’m ready!!!
- 5 -
TIVATT:
Fire.
REEYUKEE:
Hadoken!!
[REEYUKEE FIRES AN INTENSE BLUE
BEAM OF POWER AT THE ENERGY SHIELD
AS TIVATT SIMULTANEOUSLY UNLEASHES
A TORRENT OF ROCKETS AND LASERS AT
EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT. THERE IS A
HUGE EXPLOSION AS SMALL FISSURE IS
RIPPED WITHIN THE ENERGY SHIELD]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Have it!!
[SMALL ARMS EXTEND FROM TIVATT AND
PULL REEYUKEE INTO THE COCKPIT AS
THEY FLY THROUGH THE FISSURE CHASED
BY HYDRACITE BIRDS OF PREY. A STRAY
LASER DESTROYS TIVATT’S AFT
ENGINES]
CUT TO:
SC3.EXT. ENERGY SHIELD [20:50]
[REEYUKEE AND TIVATT ARE INSIDE THE
TUNNEL SHAPED FISSURE IN THE ENERGY
SHIELD. IT IS BLOOD RED AND
PULSATING WITH ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
THE ARE CHASED BY SEVERAL FIRE
BREATHING HYDRACITE BIRDS OF PREY]
REEYUKEE:
We’re hit!
TIVATT:
Aft engines negated, shields down to 45 percent,
rerouting available power to secondary systems.
REEYUKEE:
The fissure’s collapsing!
[THE CORRIDOR WITHIN THE ENERGY
SHIELD BEGINS TO GET NARROWER AND
THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNEL
GETS SMALLER. DUE TO THE NEWFOUND
SPACIAL CONSTRAINTS, TIVATT IS
UNABLE TO MANOEUVRE AS FREELY AND
IS SHOT REPEATEDLY BY THREE BIRDS
OF PREY. SPARKS FLY WITHIN THE
COCKPIT]
- 6 -
TIVATT:
Secondary systems now at critical levels, shields
completely negated. I will not be able to withstand
any more attacks.
REEYUKEE:
I’ve got an idea; Tivatt let me go up top!
[TIVATT’S COCKPIT DOOR HALF OPENS
AND REEYUKEE IS FORCED TO PULL IT
THE REST OF THE WAY BEFORE CLIMBING
TO THE TOP OF TIVATT’S DAMAGED
HULL. HE THEN FIGHTS AGAINST THE G-
FORCE AND SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TO
THE REAR. ONCE THERE HE BLOCKS THE
ATTACKS FROM THE BIRDS OF PREY WITH
FORCE FIELDS WITH HIS MAGNATRON
GLOVES, GRUNTING WITH EACH HIT. HE
MISSES A STRAY LASER AND IT HITS
TIVATT’S TERTIARY ENGINE CAUSING
TIVATT’S FLYING TO GET EXTREMELY
ERRATIC]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Cummon Tivatt, hold on, you can do it!!
[REEYUKEE CONTINUES LEAPING ABOUT
TIVATT AND BLOCKING ATTACKS WITH
HIS MAGNATRON GLOVES. THE EXIT AT
THE END OF THE TUNNEL CONTINUES TO
COLLAPSE BUT GETS CLOSER AND
CLOSER]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Cummon Tivatt you can do it just hold on!!
[THEY APPROACH THE EXIT OF THE
FISSURE]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Almost there!!
[REEYUKEE DUCKS HIS HEAD AS TIVATT
BARELY SQUEEZES THROUGH THE OPENING
OF THE FISSURE. IT CLOSES AFTER
THEY ESCAPE THUS TRAPPING THE
HYDRACITE BIRDS OF PREY INSIDE.
OUTSIDE THE ENERGY SHIELD THE
CARISIAN SHIPS ARE WAITING]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Yes!!!
NITRO:
They’re back; Captain Impulse and Tivatt are back!!
They got through the energy shield!
REEYUKEE:
You da man, Tivatt!! You da man!
- 7 -
HAYOLA:
Unbelievable.
JADE:
How do they do it?
[TIVATT’S FLIGHT SYSTEMS FAIL AND
HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO FALL OUT OF THE
SKY. REEYUKEE STRUGGLES TO HOLD ON]
REEYUKEE:
Oh no!
HAYOLA:
Electro-web; deploy!
[A SHIMMERING GOLD ENERGY NET
EXPANDS SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM THE
HATCHES OF HAYOLA, NITRO AND JADE’S
SHIPS AND HOLDS TIVATT FIRMLY IN
PLACE]
NITRO:
Gotcha!
HAYOLA:
Men…we’re going home.
JADE:
Best new I’ve heard all day, Big Momma.
HAYOLA:
Impulse and Tivatt, I think you’ve both earned a day
off.

CARIS]
CUT TO:
SC3.INT. HYDRACITE DOMINION [21:00]
[GENERAL DESTRUCTOR; WEARING A LONG
CLOAK THAT COVERS COMPLETELY SAVE
FOR HIS GLOWING RED EYES AND HANDS
SITS POWERFULLY ON A GREY STONE
THRONE IN A VERY DARK AND RUSTIC
HALL ROOM FLANKED BY DOZENS OF
DRUIDS LINED UP AGAINST THE WALLS.
SCION ENTERS, RUNS PAST THE DRUIDS
AND KNEELS BEFORE GENERAL
DESTRUCTOR]
GENERAL DESTRUCTOR:
Speak.
SCION:
My liege, the battle was a success but the Carisians
have found a new champion. His name is Captain
Impulse and his efforts almost resulted in our
- 8 -
defeat. He has amazing abilities, can single handedly
defeat dozens of our minions with ease, and his
speed, strength and reflexes are almost a match for
my own. He is a threat that must be extinguished my
lord; for left unchecked, he could cause grave
problems for the Hydracite regime.
GENERAL DESTRUCTOR:
Fear not my loyal grandson; a plan to exterminate
this Captain Impulse has been already set into
motion. His end draws near. Resume your training.
CUT TO:
SC4.EXT. STREETS OF CARIS [10:00]
[REEYUKEE IS RUNNING THROUGH A BUSY
FUTURISTIC PARK WEARING A VEST,
PAIR OF SHORTS, TRAINERS, BASEBALL
CAP AND A BACKPACK. THERE ARE
DOZENS OF FLYING CARS OVERHEAD,
LOTS OF PEOPLE WHIZZING BY ON HOVER
SKATEBOARDS AS WELL AS STROLLING
FAMILIES. ALL RECOGNISE HIM AND
STOP TO LOOK IN WONDER AS HE
PASSES. HE APPROACHES A GATE AND
HOPS OVER IT INTO A LANDING ROLL
THEN RESUMES HIS RUN]
BUMPKIN VO:
Reeyukee! Why I say, Reeyukee! Reeyukee!
[REEYUKEE HALTS HIS RUN AND TURNS
AROUND TO SEE BUMPKIN’S PORTLY YET
DAPPERLY DRESSED FRAME BEAMING FROM
A FUTURISTIC PARK BENCH. HE WALKS
OVER AND SITS ON THE BENCH WITH
SWEAT DRIPPING FROM HIS FACE]
REEYUKEE:
Yo Bumpkin! What’s up?
BUMPKIN:
You are my boy! You are the up and the left the down
and the right, the alpha and indeed the omega! The
entire Carisian society has been gossiping of nothing
else but your exploits at Yarwin last night! They say
you survived single handedly against the entire
Hydracite legion; in their domain no less!
REEYUKEE:
Yeah but I didn’t win though, I lost. I was meant to
take out the spell caster but I didn’t get to him in
time. It’s my fault we can't get into Yarwin.
BUMPKIN:
Poppycock my boy, utter lunacy I say! It’s thanks to
your efforts that we came as close to success as we
- 9 -
did! You cannot hope to win every battle Reeyukee;
any wise commander knows that to be true! What
matters is that you win the war!
REEYUKEE:
I guess you’re right!
BUMPKIN:
I’m seldom wrong my boy! Now what’s with all this
dancing and prancing I see you doing?
REEYUKEE:
It’s called Parkour, wanna try it?
BUMPKIN:
Oh I don’t know about that my boy; the old bones
aren’t quite as supple as they once were!
REEYUKEE:
Anyone can do it Bumpkin, let me show you.
[REEYUKEE GETS OFF THE BENCH, TAKES
A FEW STEPS BACK THEN PERFORMS A
BEAUTIFUL RUNNING BACKFLIP OVER
BUMPKIN’S HEAD AS HE SITS AND LANDS
IN DYNAMIC FASHION WITH HIS ARMS
HELD ALOFT]
BUMPKIN:
You want me do that?! You’ve gone doolally you have,
stark raving bonkers, you need adult supervision you
do, you’ve got a deep seated emotional problem that
medical science just can’t explain my boy!
[BUMPKIN TAKES OFF HIS JACKET AND
ROLLS UP HIS SLEEVES]
BUMPKIN CONT:
But; never let it be said that Bumpkin is one to shy
away from a challenge!
REEYUKEE:
Take your time, Bumpkin.
[BUMPKIN GETS OFF THE BENCH AND
TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK]
BUMPKIN:
Geronimooooo!!!!
[BUMPKIN RUNS TOWARDS THE BENCH AND
LEAPS. HE DOES NOT LEAP HIGH ENOUGH
HOWEVER AND CRASHES THROUGH IT
LEAVING AN OUTLINE OF HIS FIGURE ON
THE WOOD]
REEYUKEE:
Bumpkin, are you alright?!
- 10 -
BUMPKIN VO:
I’m ok!
CUT TO:
SC5. EXT. HYDRACITE COURTYARD [10:00]
[SCION IS RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED
THROUGH A DARK AND ANCIENT
COURTYARD]
HYDRACITE DRUIDS VO:
Agility challenge.
[FORMING A RING ALONG THE OUTSKIRTS
OF THE COURTYARD ARE SEVERAL
HYDRACITE DEMONS AND DRUIDS ALL OF
WHICH ARE FIRING ENERGY BOLTS AT
HIM WHICH HE DEFTLY EVADES. HE
PERFORMS A RUNNING FLIP THROUGH
SEVERAL RINGS OF BLUE FIRE THEN
SWINGS FROM A VERTICAL POLE OVER A
POOL OF BUBBLING LAVA AND THEN
DESTROYS A STONE GARGOYLE WITH A
STRONG PUNCH TO REVEAL A LEVER
WHICH HE FLIPS]
HYDRACITE DRUIDS VO:
Speed challenge.
[THE RINGS OF FIRE AND LAVA RETREAT
INTO THE GROUND AND ARE REPLACED
WITH FOUR LARGE WALLS THAT BEGIN TO
ENCLOSE SCION FROM ALL SIDES AND
RAPIDLY EJECT WETAL SPIKES FROM
WALL TO WALL. SCION LEAPS FROM
SPIKE TO SPIKE GRADUALLY MAKING HIS
WAY TO THE TOP MOMENTS BEFORE THE
WALLS CRASH INTO EACH OTHER. AT THE
TOP THERE IS ANOTHER STONE
GARGOYLE, SCION DESTROYS THIS WITH
A STRONG KICK TO REVEAL ANOTHER
LEVER WHICH HE FLIPS]
HYDRACITE DRUIDS CONT VO:
Battle challenge.
[THE FOUR WALLS SUDDENLY RETREAT
INTO THE FLOOR AND ARE REPLACED BY
SCORES OF STEEL SPIKES THAT SPRAY
CORROSIVE ACID IN ALL DIRECTIONS. A
FIFTEEN FOOT TALL BLACK MECHANICAL
BULL WITH PIERCING RED EYES APPEARS
AT THE FAR CORNER OF THE COURTYARD
IN A THICK STEEL CAGE. IT MAKES
AGGRESSIVE GRUNTING NOISES AS IT
REPEATEDLY CHARGES AGAINST THE CAGE
BEFORE IT IS EVENTUALLY RELEASED.

IT THEN RUNS TOWARDS SCION AT FULL
SPEED]
SCION:
Bring it on.

SC6.EXT. STREETS OF CARIS [10:00]
[REEYUKE IS RUNNING ACROSS THE
ROOFTOPS OF CARIS’S SKY SCRAPERS,
LEAPING AND BOUNDING OVER CHIMNEYS
AND DOORWAY ENTRANCES. HE SPIES A
TWELVE FOOT GAP IN BETWEEN
BUILDINGS AND PERFORMS A BEAUTIFUL
RUNNING SIDE FLIP TO THE OTHER
LEDGE AND GRABS ON WITH HIS HANDS.
HE THEN LEAPS BACK TO THE FIRST
LEDGE BEFORE BACKFLIPPING BACK TO
THE SECOND LEDGE AND RESUMING HIS
RUN]
REEYUKEE:
Come on!
[AS HE RUNS REEYUKEE SLIDES UNDER A
SERIES OF PIPES BEFORE ROLLING AND
LEAPING OVER A CHIMNEY. HE REACHES
THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING AND SPIES
ANOTHER SKY SCRAPER IN THE
DISTANCE. THE DRIVERS OF PASSING
FLYING VEHICLES LOOK AT HIM WITH
CURIOUS WONDER]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Whoah, whoah whoah, that’s a tad too far for a jump!
Cummon Reeyukee use that brain, how you gonna do
this?!
[REEYUKEE LOOKS AROUND AND SEES A
HORIZONTAL FLAG POLE, A VERTICAL
ANTENNA, AND A LONG ROW OF
STATIONARY FLYING VEHICLES AT A
TRAFFIC LIGHT]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Got it!
[REEYUKEE LEAPS TO THE HORIZONTAL
FLAG POLE AND SWINGS BEFORE
VAULTING ACROSS TO THE VERTICAL
ANTENNA WHICH HE QUICKLY CLIMBS
BEFORE TAKING A HUGE LEAP ONTO THE
BONNET OF A MOVING FLYING VEHICLE
MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF THE FAMILY
INSIDE BEFORE LEAPING OFF ACROSS A
TWELVE FOOT GAP ONTO THE ROOF OF
THE BUILDING. HE LANDS WITH A
- 12 -
DYNAMIC FORWARD ROLL]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Yes!
[REEYUKEE RUNS TO THE LEDGE OF THE
BUILDING AND CAN SEE THAT THE
CLOSEST SKYSCRAPER IS OVER 30 FEET
AWAY AND THERE ARE NO OBSTACLES IN
BETWEEN]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Gonna have to use the boots for this one.
[HE GRABS HIS THRUST BOOTS FROM HIS
BACKPACK, PUTS THEM ON THEN LOOKS
AT THE FAR AWAY BUILDING]
REEYUKEE CONT:
No guts no glory!
[HE RUNS TOWARDS THE LEDGE AT 100
MPH AND LEAPS HIGH ACROSS THE GAP]
REEYUKEE CONT:

SCION:
Attack me wild beast; challenge me with all of your
strength that I may know myself as the supreme
fighter on Arthas.
[THE MECHANICAL BULL CHARGES
TOWARDS SCION AT FULL SPEED. SCION
ROLLS TO THE SIDE AND GIVES A TWO
PUNCH COMBO LEAVING CAVITIES IN ITS
SIDE TORSO, THEN LEAPS OVER ITS
BACK AND DENTS IT WITH AN AXE KICK.
THE BULL CATCHES HIM IN ITS HORNS
AND THROWS HIM ACROSS THE COURTYARD
NEAR THE ACID SPRAYING SPIKES WHICH
HE USES ALL OF HIS SPEED AND
AGILITY TO EVADE. THE BURNING ACID
HAS NOW LEFT LARGE CRATERS ON THE
FLOOR. THE BULL THEN CHARGES AT
HIM, AS THIS HAPPENS HE GENERATES A
BALL OF WHITE ENERGY IN HIS RIGHT
HAND AND STRIKES THE FRONT LEFT LEG
OF THE BULL WITH ALL HIS MIGHT
CAUSING IT TO EXLPODE. THE BULL
ROARS IN PAIN AND THRASHES WILDLY]
SCION:
Yet another tortured soul to be effortlessly
- 13 -
destroyed by my hand. You make this too easy for me
my druids.
[THE BULL CHARGES WITH ITS
REMAINING LEGS AND REPEATEDLY
LUNGES AT SCION WITH ITS HORNS AND
RIPS HIS CLOAK]
SCION:
Come me my fiend, challenge me. Surely you can do
better than that.
[SCION LEAPS AWAY FROM THE BULL.
THE BULL CHARGES AT HIM BUT HE
CASTS A BLACK MIST FROM HIS HANDS
WHICH ENCIRLCES ITS EYES. THE BULL
RUNS AROUND THE ROOM WILDLY IN
SEARCH OF HIM. SCION GETS INTO THE
PATH OF THE BULL AS IT CHARGES AND
SIDESTEPS AT THE LAST MINUTE
PLACING A GLOWING RED PALM FIRMLY
AGAINST ITS BEHIND]
SCION:
Kinetic.
[A SURGE OF KINETIC ENERGY PROPELS
THE BULL FORWARD AND IMPALES IT ON
THE ACID SPRAYING SPIKES. AS THE
BULL DISSOLVES SCION COCKILY HOLDS
HIS RIGHT HAND HIGH IN VICTORY]
SCION:
Who is the greatest fighter on Arthas and the supreme
general of the Hydracite regime? Tell me his name

AND HOVERS NEXT TO HIM AS HE
CLIMBS]
TIVATT:
Reeyukee.
- 14 -
TIVATT:
Hey Tivatt! You’re pretty much back to normal now,
those healing circuits of yours are really handy.
TIVATT:
I must advise against your current plan of action
Reeyukee; should you lose your footing, I calculate
only a 0.4% chance of survival.
[REEYUKEE LOOKS DOWN, THE GROUND IS
A VERY LONG WAY AWAY AND HE CAN
SCARSELY SEE THE BOTTON]
REEYUKEE:
You didn’t have a problem with me fighting Scion way
up in the clouds yesterday.
TIVATT:
That is because I was there to assist in the event of
a tactical miscalculation on your part. Which I did
when you fell from the fortress.
REEYUKEE:
I didn’t fall Tivatt, I was pushed! But that ain’t
the point; I mean you can always stay with me now if
you want.
TIVATT:
Incorrect; I am on an urgent data research assignment
for Empress Tasharna.
REEYUKEE:
I’m a big boy Tivatt I’ll be fine, don’t worry. I
thought you said I should always believe in myself.
TIVATT:
This is an unnecessary gambit.
REEYUKEE:
What does gambit mean?
TIVATT:
Backster’s dictionary defines gambit to mean,
stratagem, plan or stunt.
REEYUKEE:
Oh, well, thanks for the advice Tivatt, see ya later!
TIVATT:
Stay safe.
[TIVATT FLIES OFF INTO THE
DISTANCE, REEYUKEE CARRIES ON
CLIMBING. HE REACHES A
SECTION OF THE BUILDING THAT
HAS COMPLETELY SMOOTH STEEL
WALLS. HE TRIES TO GRIP WITH
HIS FINGERS BUT IS UNABLE. HE
STANDS ON A SMALL LEDGE AND
- 15 -
LOOKS AROUND IN
CONTEMPLATION]
REEYUKEE:
It’s too smooth to grip! Cummon, cummon, there’s
gotta be another way!
[REEYUKEE LOOKS ABOVE AND CAN
SEE TWO TIERS OF FLYING
VEHICLE PATHWAYS RUNNING
PARALLEL TO THE BUILDING]
REEYUKEE:
Got it!
HE LEAPS FROM THE LEDGE ONTO
A FLYING VEHICLE BACK ONTO A
HIGHER LEVEL OF THE WALL THEN
SPRINGS TO ANOTHER CAR WHICH
HE REBOUNDS FROM ONTO THE
ROOF OF THE SKYSCRAPER AND
LANDS WITH HIS ARMS
OUTSTRETCHED IN TRIUMPHANT
AND DRAMATIC FASHION]
REEYUKEE:
Yes!
[AN ENERGETIC AND UPBEAT
RINGTONE CAN BE HEARD, HE
TAPS HIS WRIST WATCH AND
LOOKS AT IT. HAYOLA’S FACE
APPEARS ON THE SCREEN]
REEYUKEE:
Nnnyello?
HAYOLA:
Captain Impulse and Tivatt of the 55th brigade! Report
promptly to the astrometrics laboratory for a
briefing on the upcoming away mission!
REEYUKEE:
I thought I had the day off?!
HAYOLA:
You are a soldier of the Carisian army and a guardian
of our great people, there are no days off!! Now get
your heiny down to astrometrics this instant!
REEYUKEE:
Ok…
TIVATT VO:
Yes ma’am.

RED FRAME AROUND THE ISLE OF
TRANQUILITY WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT
HAND SIDE OF THE MAP AND AN
ANIMATED TRAIL THAT LINKS IT TO
CARIS WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED TO THE
FAR LEFT OF THE MAP. HAYOLA IS
STANDING ASSERTIVELY TO THE SIDE
GESTURING FIRMLY AT THE ISLE OF
TRANQUILITY WITH A STEEL STAFF]
HAYOLA:
Gentlemen! As you are well aware the Hydracite have
somehow managed to outwit our sensors during our
previous two encounters. Sensors said that Graath
airspace was free of Hydracite activity yet there
they were; sensors said that the Supreme Nation of
Yarwin was free of Hydracite activity yet there they
were! This ends here! This cannot stand! I will not
have them making a mockery of Carisian military
intelligence!
Now; whatever sorcery they are using to mask
themselves from our sensors is unknown to us for as
you know during the 1000 years since our two races
diverted, Carisians have focused on technological
achievements and our magical abilities are now long
since forgotten.
However, there is hope. There is a sorcerer named Dr
Strangefate living alone in the Isle of Tranquility
whose mystical skills are said to be second to none
and he will be able to assist us in negating their
treachery! Your mission; to travel to the Isle of
Tranquility, locate Dr Strangefate and persuade him
to help us in our cause do you get me men?!
REEYUKEE:
Why do I have to do this? Why not Jade or Nitro? I
thought this was meant to be my day off!
HAYOLA:
Because you little pipsqueak; for some reason I’ll
never understand, Everyone seems to like you! You’re
a manipulative little runt who’s good at getting what
he wants out of people! You’re the best man for the
job!

REEYUKEE:
Eh?
HAYOLA:
Dismissed!

SC10.EXT. THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY [11:45]
[TIVATT HAS TRANFORMED INTO A SLEEK
SPORTS BOAT AND IS RACING THROUGH A
CLEAR AND BEAUTIFUL LAKE WITH
REEYUKEE PILOTING AT THE HELM. AT
EITHER SIDE OF THE LAKE IS A THICK
AND DENSE JUNGLE COMPRISING OF
OTHERWORLDLY FOLIAGE AND HOUSING A
VARIETY OF UNIQUE LOOKING ANIMALS.
A GREEN COLOURED MAMMAL SKATES
ALONG THE WATER BESIDE REEYUKEE AND
TIVATT]
REEYUKEE:
This isn’t fair, Tivatt!
TIVATT VO:
Correct.
REEYUKEE:
This was meant to be my day off! Why did she do this?
Why doesn’t she like me? What have I ever done to
her?!
TIVATT VO:
You have done nothing but be your usual charming and
amiable self.
REEYUKEE:
Er……yeah, yeah I have! She’s got it in for me! She
hates me!
[DR STRANGEFATE’S ANGRY AND HAGGARD
FACE APPEARS LARGE AND TRANSLUCENT
AHEAD OF REEYUKEE AND TIVATT. HIS
VOICE ECHOS EERILY THROUGHOUT THE
AIR]
DR STRANGEFATE:
Accursed interlopers! Cease and desist! Go back to
that place from whence you came and never darken this
isle again for you disturb the inner sanctum of Dr
Strangefate!
REEYUKEE:
We need your help, Dr Strangefate!
DR STRANGEFATE:
Be gone! You are not wanted here!

REEYUKEE:
You’ve gotta help us, Dr Strangefate! We’re not
leaving till you do!
DR STRANGEFATE:
Oh, poppycock!
[A WHITE BEAM OF ENERGY STRIKES
REEYUKEE AND TIVATT AND TELEPORTS
THEM INSTANTLY TO THE TOP OF A
GRASSY HILL AT WHICH DR STRANGEFATE
SITS IN A MEDITATIVE POSITION.
TIVATT IS NOW IN HUMANOID FORM]
DR STRANGEFATE CONT:
Tell me young one, to what undesirable circumstances
have you succumbed to be required to enlist the
assistance of Dr Strangefate, sorcerer Supreme?
[A CLOCK HAND SPINS AROUND ON
SCREEN AS REEYUKEE INFORMS DR
STRANGEFATE OF THE SITUATION]
REEYUKEE:
And that’s pretty much it.
DR STRANGEFATE CONT:
An interesting dilemma you have young one, but no
problem is beyond the scope of Dr Strangefate,
sorcerer supreme! If you require my help then my help
you shall receive; but first you must prove your
worth by completing three trials of character. Trial
number 1!

TOGETHER AND TELEPORTS REEYUKEE TO
THE MIDDLE OF A DENSE FOREST WHERE
HE IS SURROUNDED BY 6 SWORD
WIELDING NINJAS. REEYUKEE IS NOW
WEARING HIS PS2 MAGNATRON GLOVES]
DR STRANGEFATE CONT VO:
There are 6 warriors, 5 of them are illusions, one is
real. You must allow the illusions to strike you and
block the attack from the real ninja. Begin!
REEYUKEE:
Huh?
[THE NINJAS CHASE REEYUKEE AS HE
LEAPS AND BOUNDS THROUGH THE FOREST
TREES. HE FRANTICALLY DODGES THEIR
ATTACKS.
DR STRANGEFATE VO:
Remember; you must allow the illusions to strike you
- 19 -
while defending yourself from the real enemy!
Surrender to your senses!
[REEYUKEE’S FACE RELAXES AS HE
CALMS DOWN AND SURRENDERS TO HIS
SENSES. HE THEN ALLOWS FOUR OF THE
ILLUSIONS TO STRIKE HIM CAUSING
THEM TO DISAPPEAR. THE FINAL TWO
NINJAS ARE BOTH REAL WHICH HE
SENSES AS THEY SWING AT HIM WITH
THEIR SWORDS]
REEYUKEE:
They’re both real, they’re both real!!!
[AFTER A LIGHTNING FAST EXCHANGE OF
PUNCHES, KICKS, AND SWORD SWIPES,
REEYUKEE THROWS ONE NINJA INTO THE
OTHER AND DESTROYS THEM BOTH WITH
HIS HADOKEN ATTACK]
REEYUKEE:
Hadoken!
[REEYUKEE PANTS HEAVILY]
SC12.EXT. THE ISLE OF TRANQUILITY MOUNTAINSIDE
[11:55]
[REEYUKEE IS CARRYING TWO FULL
BUCKETS OF WATER UP A LARGE, ROCKY
AND WINDY MOUNTAINSIDE TAKING GREAT
CARE NOT TO SPILL A DROP. THE
BUCETS ARE VERY HEAVY AND HE IS
CLEARLY STRUGGLING. THE SUN SHINES
BRIGHTLY IN THE DISTANCE]
DR STRANGEFATE VO:
For this test, you must carry two barrels of water up
then hill without spilling a single drop! The mist of
Encisis will register even the slightest spillage
young one. Begin!
[THE WIND STRENGTHENS IN INTENSITY
AND HOWLS MANIACALLY AS REEYUKEE
SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY UP THE
MOUNTAINSIDE WITH A DETERMINED
EXPRESSION. HE IS KNOCKED SLIGHTLY
BY A LARGE GUST OF WIND]
REEYUKEE:
Woah! Easy…easy
[ALL OF THE WATER IS STILL INSIDE
THE BUCKET. REEYUKEE MAKES HIS WAY
UP THE MOUNTAINSIDE. SUDDENLY
DOZENS OF LARGE BOULDERS APPEAR AT
THE TOP AND BEGIN TO HURTLE DOWN
- 20 -
THE MOUNTAINSIDE AT TOP SPEED.
REEYUKEE IS TERRIFIED]
REEYUKEE:
Ahh!!!
[THE BOULDERS RAPIDLY APPROACH
REEYUKEE LEAVING HIM NO CHOICE BUT
TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND RUN ACROSS
THE ROLLING BOULDERS WHILE MAKING
HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP OF THE
MOUNTAIN. HE REACHES THE TOP
WITHOUT SPILLING A DROP AND
BREATHES A HEAVY SIGH OF RELIEF]
REEYUKEE:
I did it…
CUT TO:
SC12.EXT. THE ISLE OF TRANQUILITY DR STRANGEFATE’S
SANCTUM [12:00]
[REEYUKEE SITS WITH HIS LEGS
CROSSED AND EYES CLOSED IN A
TYPICAL MEDITATION POSITION WITH
HIS BACK UP AGAINST A STONE WALL
INSIDE DR STRANGEFATE’S EERIE
VOODOO DECORATED AND CANDLELIT
INNER SANCTUM. DR STRANGEFATE
STANDS IN FRONT OF HIM WITH A
SERIOUS EXPRESSION CARRYING A LARGE
CAULDRON FULL OF ARROWS]
DR STRANGEFATE:
For this final test, you must remain perfectly
motionless as I trace your body with arrows! These
are blessed with the spirit of Nakaith and their
slightest touch will send you into an eternal sleep
from which you will never awaken! Begin!
[DR STRANGEFATE PLACES THE CAULDRON
DOWN ON THE GROUND AND HUMS LOUDLY
AS HE HURLS THE ARROWS AROUND
REEYUKEE’S BODY AT RAPID SPEED. THE
ARROWS SLAM INTO THE WALL INCHES
FROM REEYUKEE AND FORM THE SHAPE OF
HIS FIGURE]
REEYUKEE:
(thought) Gotta stay focused, gotta stay sharp, I can
do this…
[DR STRANGEFATE CONTINUES TO HURL
THE ARROWS AROUND REEYUKEE’S BODY
AND CREATE AN OUTLINE OF HIS BODY
AGAINST THE WALL]
- 21 -
REEYUKEE CONT:
(thought) Concentrate…concentrate…
[REEYUKEE CALMLY HOLDS HIS EYES
CLOSED AS DR STRANGEFATE HURLS THE
ARROWS AT HIM. SUDDENLY HE SENSES
THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG]
REEYUKEE CONT:
(thought) Something’s wrong!
[REEYUKEE OPENS HIS EYES TO SEE AN
ARROW HEADED RIGHT FOR HIS
FOREHEAD. HE BARELY DUCKS OUT OF
THE WAY IN TIME AND THE ARROW SLAMS
HARD INTO THE WALL]
REEYUKEE CONT:
Whoah!
[REEYUKEE LOOKS UP AT DR
STRANGEFATE WITH RAGE IN HIS EYES]
REEYUKEE CONT:
You did that deliberately!
DR STRANGEFATE:
Idiocy my dear boy! It was nothing but a simple error
on my part; these frail arms of aren’t mine quite
what they used to be! Calm down and let us do the
task once more!
[REEYUKEE SLOWLY WALKS IN A
MENACING MANNER TOWARDS DR
STRANGEFATE. DR STRANGEFATE LOOKS A
LITTLE WORRIED AND STARTS TO
BACKPEDAL]
REEYUKEE:
You have haven’t you? You’ve been trying to hurt me,
like with the two real ninjas instead of one and the
humongous boulders that nearly flattened me! Tivatt!
DR STRANGEFATE:
Stay back, my boy, stay back! Don’t make me use
necessary force!
[TIVATT ARRIVES FROM AROUND THE
CORNER AND WALKS SLOWLY ALONGSIDE
REEYUKEE TOWARDS DR STRANGEFATE WHO
CONTINUES TO BACK PEDAL]
DR STRANGEFATE CONT:
Back, back I say!
[AS HE BACK PEDDLES, DR STRANGEFATE
KNOCKS A RED VIAL OFF THE TOP OF A
CUPBOARD CAUSING IT TO FALL AND
- 22 -
CRASH AT HIS FEET. AN OUTBURST OF
ENERGY ERUPTS NULLIFIES HIS
DISGUISE REVEALING HIM AS A
SINISTER AND TREACHEROUS LOOKING
HYDRACITE WARRIOR]
REEYUKEE:
Tivatt, look!
[REEYUKEE LOOKS COMPLETELY
DUMBSTRUCK AS DR STRANGEFATE
SPEAKS]
DR STRANGEFATE:
Carisian scum! You may have outsmarted us this time
but rest assured your end draws nearer with every
passing breath. You and your kind will be
annihilated, the Hydracite will destroy the Crystal
of Kinaar and the Tha’deth will once again be free!
[DR STRANGEFATE SLAMS HIS FIST INTO
THE GROUND AND BEGINS TO RAPIDLY
SWELL AND EXPAND LIKE A BALLOON
BEFORE BURSTING INTO A SWIRLING
CLOUD OF SMOKE THAT FLIES OUT OF
THE INNER SANCTUM. MANIACAL
LAUGHTER CAN BE HEARD. REEYUKEE AND
TIVATT LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN
DISBELIEF]
