Scene
1:A Whole New World
Scene 1, Chapter 1 – Aftermath
"Hello.
Good day, sir."
"Huh?
Who are you? Show yourself!"
"My
identity is irrelevant, wouldn't you agree? Yes…"
"This
nonsense is disturbing."
"Very
well. You can say that I'm your conscience. I know what is best for you… And
really I do."
"Well,
'conscience,' what do you say is best for me now?"
"You
are a man with power, I've been told. Do you realize that there's a whole world
to the east?"
"Yes,
yes, of course. Primitive people live there. I've set my eyes on there, but
haven't bothered thinking about that place."
It
has been a few days after Mario's heroic battle with the evil android Specter,
also known as Dark Mario. After the defeat, the people involved were scattered
throughout the world, their locations unknown. Now, the people in the Mushroom
Kingdom have been settling down as peace returned.
Bowser's
Keep and Peach's Castle remained damaged by the Cult of Incognito lead by the
sinister Dr. Schizo, who was in fact, the reincarnation of both the old Dr.
Myco and the young Dr. Fungenstein (who happened to be great at
impersonations). Toads, Shy Guys, Koopas, and Goombas worked together to build
Peach's Castle. Koopas under Bowser's command worked to repair Bowser's Keep.
At the end of the Great War—as it was called—Kamek, the old and senile
Magikoopa who took care of Bowser in his youth died of old age.
However,
the results of the Great War were not all negative. The Shy Guys built their
own part of Toad Town to the west, which was named Shy Side. The Shy Guy's Toy
Box remained in the empty house in the southwest side of Toad Town. They
remained mischievous, however without their influence from Bowser. During the
war, they were very productive because of their skills, and in time, they
became the most technologically advanced race in the Mushroom Kingdom. However,
that was only for the Mushroom Kingdom…
Inside
the Toy Box lived one abnormally strong Shy Guy that went by the name Anti Guy.
He was also known as Deadly Guy to some others. His bossy and bullying attitude
left him no friends except his one equal match, Hey-Ho. Though, he hasn't seen
the foolish navy blue Shy Guy since the Great War.
Sitting
in loneliness, Anti Guy stared at the wall that he was facing in the Toy Box. Drawn
by colorful colors was a map. Flower Fields, Shiver Region, Goomba Village,
Pleasant Path, Gusty Gulch, Mt. Rugged, he saw it all over and over again. He
saw it all his life. After all, he rarely went out of the Toy Box. The world
only needs to be bigger.
"Ah,
yes, interesting world, isn't it? Been there, done that. You're lame, Anti Guy.
One day, you're gonna suffocate here, because you're too scared of the outside,
is that it?" It was Elvis Guy, an annoying Groove Guy that Anti Guy couldn't
seem to get rid of because of his speed and dizzying moves.
"Once
you die, I'll go out. How about that?"
"No."
Elvis Guy kicked Anti Guy hard in the mask.
"Why
you little—" Anti Guy got himself back on his feet and chased after Elvis Guy.
As they reached the exit, Elvis Guy tripped Anti Guy into the spring, and Anti
Guy was jettisoned out of the Toy Box. Elvis Guy followed.
When
they were back at the Toy Box, Anti Guy found himself attacked by another kick
in the mask. That little bugger was going to pay! Elvis Guy dashed out of the
house, laughing. Anti Guy angrily followed. As he burst out of the house, he
was tripped by two Shy Guys into a large cannon! This was just not his day…
A
whole gang of Shy Guys stood around the cannon. Elvis Guy walked around cockily
and faced Anti Guy, who was stuck inside. "Well, well, well… As you can tell,
your annoying presence isn't wanted in our Toy Box. We have things to
make—things to sell. And guess what? You're gonna see the world! Destination: Gusty
Gulch!"
Elvis
Guy and the other Shy Guys laughed. "All right, have fun on your vacation!"
Elvis Guy beckoned for a Pyro Guy to come forth and light the fuse. A Pyro Guy
pressed his head on the fuse and it started lighting.
The
Shy Guys started counting down. "10, 9, 8…"
Anti
Guy screamed, "YOU'RE GONNA PAY, ELVIS GUY! JUST YOU WATCH!"
"7,
6, 5, 4…"
"See
the world! Have fun! Bon voyage!"
"3…
2… 1!" The fuse disappeared and nothing happened for a few seconds.
Elvis
Guy was shocked. "What's going on!?"
Suddenly,
the cannon exploded, sending Anti Guy west instead of east. As he flew through
the air, the last thing he heard was Elvis Guy screaming at the engineers.
Scene 1, Chapter 2 –
Awakening
"Tell
me, out of curiosity… what do you know about the 'Eastern World'?"
"It's
a rather large place… It's called the Mushroom Region. The most noticeable
place in it is the Mushroom Kingdom, which is ruled by Princess Peach. Overall,
the place is primitive."
"Yet
you don't realize the potential of the place."
"Is
he one of us?"
"Most
likely, but he looks different."
"Yes,
he does."
Anti
Guy woke up. He found himself in a room with two Shy Guys staring at him.
Quickly, he jumped up and made fist. "Who are you!?"
"Wow,
he's a feisty one."
"Who
are you? Where am I? I demand to know!" snapped Anti Guy.
"If
you want to know, ask the wise one."
"Who!?"
"Over
there…" The Shy Guy pointed to a building across from the window. It was fairly
large building, only slightly larger than the normal Toad Town houses. Anti Guy
jumped out of bed, shoved the two Shy Guys out of the way, and walked to the
door. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now!
As
he walked outside, Anti Guy saw he was in a rather small town. Shy Guys ran
around the place, and a couple buildings were scattered around. There was a
sign far away that said, "Welcome to Shy Town." In the distance, he saw a very
high black building, but it was shrouded in darkness. In another direction, he
saw a very high skyscraper towering above a bustling city? That was much
bigger than a city. Was there a word for it?
Looking
around, he bumped into the house he was heading to by accident. He opened a
door, and an elderly looking Shy Guy sat on a large chair. He even had a long
white mustache coming out of his mask.
"Mmm…
I am Elder Guy. Who might you be?"
"I'm
Anti Guy. I want to know where I am!"
"You
are in the wonderful town of Shy Town."
"Well,
where's Shy Town?"
"Don't tell me you don't know.
You must be a foreigner. If you must know, Shy Town lies on the east side of
Domino Island. Now don't tell me you don't know where Domino Island is!"
"No."
"Well
I'm truly bewildered. Domino Island is in the Flower Region, the western part
of the world. You must be from the Mushroom Region, right? Actually, you
probably don't have names for these regions because if you come from there,
you'd be too primitive to know the world."
"Primitive!?
Don't you dare patronize me!"
"You're
most likely from the Mushroom Kingdom then. So I'm assuming you know nothing
about Domino Island… Snifit City? The Black Forest? The Mausoleum?"
"Wow,
you're really thinking today."
"You're
such a rude young one. Well, I'll warn you. If you are to survive in this
world, you better listen to what I have to say? Will you listen?"
"I
guess so." Anti Guy quieted down. He needed to know as much as he could, and
this old fool was the only one who could tell him.
"This
world is owned by Mr. Snifitson, the CEO of AAI, Advanced AI, a company that
produces the most advanced electronics. He's richer than you can possibly
imagine. So basically, he rules the world. Snifitson is the last person in the
world you'd want to trust. He's like a spoiled brat—even worse. Sinister.
Malicious. Devious. Anything you can name. This town is separated from his
influence… and his wealth. Even though we may not have the technology, I'd say
we are far more superior than the Mushroom Region anyway."
"Go
on. So Snifit City is a dangerous place. What else?"
"I'd
advise you not to go south. It's a dangerous swamp down there ruled by Putrid
Piranhas. In the north is the Black Forest. It's as dark as night there. It's
as dangerous as it is dark also. Just at the end of the Black Forest, to the
east, is the Mausoleum.
"The
Mausoleum is the largest building in the whole entire world. Constructed ages
ago by sorcerers, every dead person goes there after death. It has a fixed
height, but the bottom keeps growing underground as long as more people die. It
can grow to the Mushroom Region soon, actually. The most recent deaths are at
the top; the older ones are pushed deeper into the ground. No one has ever
dared venture to the core because no one knows what's there.
"As
a matter of fact, I'd advise you not to go anywhere. This whole world is
dangerous, and it's only safe here in Shy Town. Snifitson is ruthless and you
should never enter his territory."
Anti
Guy had other plans.
Elder
Guy said, "Actually, the only safe way is to stay here. There's a house owned
by a couple of Shy Guys that would love to have guests. You can stay there. We
have some guards to make sure any kids or lost people don't leave the Town."
Anti
Guy had other plans. If Snifit City was so technologically advanced, there must
be a painless way to get back to the Mushroom Kingdom. He hated vacations.
Scene 1, Chapter 3 – Thief
in the House
"Tell
me, why are you so obsessed with the Mushroom Kingdom?"
"I'm
just telling you what's good for you."
"All
right. All right. It's a lot of land."
"I'm
glad you see it my way."
"Tell
me what I should do, whoever you are."
Elder
Guy sent Anti Guy to stay at a house of an old couple of Shy Guys. By that
time, it was dinner. They gathered Anti Guy to the table, and served him food
and drinks. The food wasn't bad. The old man seemed too talkative though. It
was hard for Anti Guy to eat his food.
"Hey
boy… I hear you're new, eh? Have you heard of the Snifit-Shy War?"
"No."
"It
was the war of wars! Thousands of Snifits from Snifit City were fighting
against the small numbers of us! There were more of us back then of course! Now
there are only a few of us!
"There
we were… The odds were against us! Snifit against Shy Guy! Boom! Zap! Pow!
Their technology was incredible! Though, it wasn't great as it is now. Boy, are
you listening to me! Put those peas back down!"
Anti
Guy sighed. He just wanted to eat. "Go on… Your story is very interesting."
"Ah,
I'm glad you find interest! Well, I was a war hero! A true hero! Me and my
legendary slingshot… Yes, we were good together. It never broke. The ammo was a
very special kind. It burned into any Snifit and caused them to roll down in
pain and madness. So many victories were won by me!
"But
it all ended. Things always have to end. Snifitson… he had this technology…
this weapon! It killed so many of our men! I was the only left. I had no choice
but to surrender. But I shouldn't have!" He slammed his fists on the table.
Food splattered on Anti Guy. Anti Guy grumbled, but just wiped it off.
"Sorry
about that, son. But you must see it for yourself." The old man got up and
walked to a painting. He opened it up and there, encased, shone the nicely
crafted slingshot and many cases of ammo next to it that could last a lifetime.
"There it is. My pride and glory."
The
old Shy Guy lady shook her head. Her husband always got carried away. The old
Shy Guy closed the painting-door, and they continued eating. The dinner was
good, however Anti Guy didn't appreciate it too much. Little did he know that
this was the last good dinner he'd get in a long time.
After
eating dinner, the couple gave Anti Guy a room to sleep in and told him
anything else he needed to know. Then they went to bed themselves and left Anti
Guy to rest and plot.
All
Anti Guy could think about that night was that slingshot, a troublemaker's
dream. He figured he must get his hands on that piece of art! Then there
was Snifitson and the threats on Domino Island. It can't be worse than the
dangers in the Mushroom Kingdom, can it?
He
laid in bed all night thinking about everything until the grandfather clock
struck twelve. Then he snapped up. "The slingshot…" He crept out his room, and
sneaked around to the painting. Luckily, the two Shy Guys were sound asleep. He
silently opened the portrait, and there was the slingshot, but he needed to get
it out of its case. Running out of options, Anti Guy punched the glass as
silently as he could. It shattered to the floor.
The
old man twisted over in his bed and mumbled some words. Then he fell back
asleep.
Anti
Guy removed the slingshot and took the ammo. It glowed brightly with the moon's
reflection. The band was strong and durable. The body was unbreakable. "So this
is his legendary slingshot…"
He
made his way silently to the front door and snuck out. Back outside, he saw
everyone was sleeping. Only the guards at the edge of town were awake, but they
didn't notice him. Anti Guy looked north. He saw the giant Mausoleum towering
high. Usually they weren't supposed to be so big, but this was an exception. A
strange creepiness—evilness to him—seemed to surround it. He quickly turned
away. Then he faced the skyscraper. Then he barely saw the letters AAI
reflecting light. "So that must be Snifitson's place," he muttered to himself.
Snifit City seemed to be a safer place to go to than the Black Forest, so he
quickly headed west.
As
he reached the edge of town, Anti Guy was blocked by two Shy Town guards. "Hey,
it's the stranger. Where do you think you're going, buddy?"
"Snifit
City."
"Are
you crazy? That place is dangerous! Under Elder Guy's orders, you're not
allowed to go."
The
other guard saw a glint coming from Anti Guy. The Slingshot! "Sentry Guy! Look!
The Slingshot…"
"Thief!"
the guard screamed.
Anti
Guy didn't hesitate. He whipped out the Slingshot, loaded it with ammo, and
then fired at the first guard. He hissed and sent out a bloodcurdling scream
through the night. People began to wake. The other guard pulled out a fireball
gun.
That
gun! It reminded Anti Guy of Dr. Schizo, that maniac he fought with above the
Cult of Incognito Citadel. Filled with anger, Anti Guy fired another burning
pellet directly at Sentry Guy's mask. Sentry Guy screamed with pain and fell on
the ground, going into mad spasms.
Anti
Guy looked at the Slingshot and said, "You're gonna give me miracles, baby."
The
thief dashed out in the middle of night and headed straight for Snifit City.
When he got there, he was amazed. The cities in the Mushroom Kingdom were nothing—nothing
compared to this! Two Snifits guarded the entrance. "What are you going
here, Shy Guy?"
"I
want to go in Snifit City."
"Are
you from Shy Town?"
Luckily,
Anti Guy answered, "No."
"Yeah,
he looks like he isn't. Different. All right, you may pass. Don't cause any
trouble, punk."
Anti
Guy entered. Stores were everywhere. Clubs, hotels, everything! Gangs walked
around entering different buildings. Anti Guy was tired anyway. He walked to an
alley and slept. As he slept, he clutched the Slingshot tightly.
Scene 1, Chapter 4 – Urban
Intruder
"Okay,
it's all done."
"So
soon?"
"Well,
I haven't paid the Putrid Piranha Corps yet, I haven't had time."
"So
they'll be waiting until they get paid?"
"Yes.
But they're planted around the Mushroom Kingdom, and no one even knows. With
the snap of my finger, the place will be annihilated."
"They
have a 48-deadline for the money you know."
"Yes
I know. I'll get to it."
Anti
Guy screamed. He found himself being picked up by the leader of a gang of
Snifits punks. Well, at least he had a good nap.
"What
the hell do you think you're doing here, Shy Fry?" said the gang leader.
"Making
your life miserable. Naturally," said Anti Guy.
The
gang leader was infuriated. He started lashing at Anti Guy with his fists. Anti
Guy wasn't fazed. He retaliated by kicking the gang leader directly in his
mouth. The gang leader went flying into the wall, followed by a concussion.
The
rest of the gang was shocked. How can a Shy Guy be this strong? They picked up
their gang leader and ran away.
Anti
Guy wiped off the dirt that he collected on his robe during his sleep. The only
place he felt like going was the AAI Tower. He wasn't really hungry because of
that nice meal the old couple gave him. He almost had a feel of guilt, but it
disappeared quickly.
He
walked down through Snifit City casually. Snifits in his way backed off. As he
neared the AAI Tower, he heard some police sirens. Then a loud voice boomed
through the city. "ALERT! ALERT! CRIMINAL ON THE LOOSE! A DARK SHY GUY WITH A
BLUE MASK! HE IS ARMED… AND DANGEROUS!"
That
stupid gang must've told the police. Well, there was no time to waste. Anti Guy
made a break for it. Snifit City Police (SCPD) cars were swarming all over the
place. A group of them caught Anti Guy sneaking into an alley. They parked
their cars and got out. Anti Guy hopped over the fence in his way and turned
around. Then he got out his slingshot.
The
police began to jump over. As each one was in midair above the fence, Anti Guy
picked them out with his slingshot. They screamed in extreme pain and fell back
on the other side. After taking down all of the police that saw him, Anti Guy
heard some police attacking him from behind!
He
hopped back over the fence and ran to one of the empty cars. Then he jumped
into the driver's seat. The controls were unfamiliar with him. Such
technologically would've never been dreamed of in the Mushroom Kingdom—even the
Toy Box! Well, he figured the controls easily. The wheel steered the car, and
the pedals made it move. The key started the car up. It was simple enough. He
turned the key, and stepped on the pedal. The car zoomed down the road. The
speed was fast. The roads were empty. The driver was a maniac.
Anti
Guy turned around the corner (smashing into a traffic light before he did), and
saw the AAI Tower in the right-hand side down the road. Two Snifit City Police
came running up the road. When they saw Anti Guy driving the car straight at
them, they ran away, but it was too late. Anti Guy smashed into them. They flew
into the air behind the car. They didn't go down without a fight though.
Pulling out their guys, they fired two shots at Anti Guy. The shots pierced
through the car, but missed Anti Guy.
Anti
Guy was shocked. What was that? Those shots… they were something he shouldn't
mess with. When he got in front of the AAI Tower entrance, he slammed on the
brakes (which eventually broke) and ran out of the car.
He
opened the door and walked in. The place was so luxurious! To describe it to
any other person would be impossible. Well, actually, it was comparable to
Princess Peach's Castle. Very comparable. The guard at the front desk noticed
Anti Guy. "Hello, who are you… Wait! You're that dark Shy Guy that the police
are after. I'm calling—"
Too
late. Anti Guy shot him with the slingshot. The guard fell over and hissed.
Unfortunately, the security cameras saw Anti Guy and there was a deafening
alarm.
"Warning!
An intruder is in the building! Warning!"
Anti
Guy laughed. "They're observant."
Scene 1, Chapter 5 – Heir to
the Throne
"Warning!
An intruder is in the building! Warning!"
"That
doesn't happen everyday."
"I
wonder what idiot would have the tenacity to intrude in one of the most secured
building in the world?"
"You're
wrong. It is the most secure."
"No.
There is one better. Its methods are uncanny. Go. Deal with your pest."
Police
surrounded the building. "Drat. Will they stop spoiling my fun?"
Anti
Guy ran to a door and opened it. It was a stairwell that went up. He ran in and
closed the door behind him. The alarm was still buzzing loudly. Anti Guy looked
up and saw alarms all over the place. The stairwell glowed red, then returned
back to normal, then glowed again. That continued nonstop, and it slightly
annoyed Anti Guy.
He
dashed up the stairs with ease. As he reached the tenth floor, the police
reached entered the stairwell. "There he is! Fire!" They pulled out their guns
and fired as they ran up. Anti Guy had to retaliate. He whipped out the
Slingshot and fired back at the police, only three times as accurate. The
police shrieked and they fell down the stairs crying in pain. Anti Guy laughed.
"This is just too easy!"
Suddenly,
the door behind him opened. AAI Guards started pouring in! Anti Guy quickly
dashed into the front guard sending a whole line of them flying down the room
and into the window. Luckily enough, they bursted through the window and down
to their doom.
Anti
Guy flew up 40 more floors until guards came pouring in from everywhere! He
only bothered to pick off the ones above him. They screamed in pain and flew
down the stairs to their doom. Gunfire sprayed all around Anti Guy, but never
hit him.
When
Anti Guy reached floor 120, the walls began to change. They folded back to
reveal thousands of gun turrets all over the place! Of course, Anti Guy didn't
realize that, but he did realize it was threatening. At least the guards
decreased heavily.
As
soon as the turrets started firing, Anti Guy took a hint. Using a lot of
energy, he jumped through the middle of the stairwell, gaining many a couple
floors each time. As he jumped through the middle, the turrets began to destroy
each other. Anti Guy was having too much fun. His line between fun and danger,
however, was very unclear.
He
continued to hop floors. Eventually he was hopping through a bunch of smoking
scrap. When he reached the 199th floor, the door opened and someone
grabbed him in. The door was then closed.
It
was a lot better now that the alarm was not as loud. Anti Guy faced a Snifit in
a suit. He looked eminent and prestigious. "Sorry about that. Well, who do we
have here?"
Anti
Guy didn't want to snap back at someone who could be the head of the company.
Or maybe he did. "My name is Anti Guy. I come from the… Mushroom Region. The
Mushroom Kingdom actually."
"Ah,
someone from that pitiful place."
Anti
Guy didn't say anything.
"Oh,
sorry for me not introducing myself. I'm Dennis Domino. I'm a very respected
person here in AAI."
Dennis
stretched out his hand. Anti Guy pulled his hand back. Anti Guy was expecting
Mr. Snifitson. Oh well.
"Well,
you seem a bit jittery. No problem. Let's say we talk business?"
"It's
fine with me."
"Excellent.
I think you should know something. That fool, Snifitson, almost treats me like
his own son. I guess you could say I'm the heir to AAI. If something…
unfortunate happens to him, I will be the new CEO, inheritor of his vast sea of
money, and technically, the ruler of Domino Island."
"Sounds
interesting."
Dennis
laughed. "Oh yes it is. I'll get to the point." He became a bit more serious.
"I want you to help me overthrow Snifitson."
All
of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Dennis quickly shoved Anti Guy into
a closet and closed it. "Be quiet, and stay here for a second."
Dennis
opened the door and some guards asked him, "Have you seen a dark Shy Guy
roaming around the building?"
"Unfortunately,
no. Keep looking. And keep up the good work men."
"Thanks,
sir." The guards walked away.
Dennis
called after them, "And close that door! That alarm can drive me crazy!"
A
guard apologized and closed the door.
Dennis
walked back to the closet and opened the door. "Sorry about that disturbance.
So anyway, what do you say?"
"I'm
sorry. But what's in it for me?"
"I
knew you'd bring that up. As of right now, a highly trained Putrid Piranha Corp
is stationed all around the Mushroom Kingdom. They can easily destroy it like
that." He snapped his fingers. "But, they're still waiting for the money that
Snifitson has to give them. If you help me overthrow him, I'll cancel the army.
That would save any of your friends."
Anti
Guy had no friends. But maybe he did respect Hey-Ho. Hey-Ho had to live. He had
to be somewhere. That Shy Guy was the kind that would never die. And for that
reason, Anti Guy said, "Okay. I'll help."
"Excellent.
All you have to do is drive Snifitson out of this tower and the city. Once that
happens, I'll label him dead and make up a fake story. It's not hard to do, is
it?"
Anti
Guy was too proud of himself to disagree. "Of course it isn't. Any wimp can do
that."
"Excellent.
Oh look, it seems that the alarm has turned off. Go and do what you have to.
Good luck."
Anti
Guy thanked Dennis Domino and walked out the door. It was all quiet, and the stairwell
stopped glowing. And there was only one floor above him. Anti Guy kissed the
Slingshot. "So let's give it a shot."
Scene 1, Chapter 6 –
Snifitson
The
door to the 200th floor opened. Anti Guy saw nobody. It was an
extremely luxurious room. In fact, it was probably richer than anything Peach
could own! There was a dark room in the back with a door open. A Snifit—who had
to be Snifitson—came out. "Ah, so this is the dark intruder. Looks like a wimp
to me!"
"I
am not a wimp! I…" Anti Guy couldn't think of anything to say.
Suddenly,
two guards grabbed Anti Guy's hands. They were not normal guards though. They
were heavily armored, and Anti Guy knew he wouldn't stand a chance against
them.
"Come
have a seat," said Snifitson.
The
bodyguards placed Anti Guy on a seat on one side of the long table. The chair
was very comfortable, however. Snifitson sat on the other side.
Snifitson
spoke up. "So, our mysterious little intruder. I want to know about you. Why
are you intruding in our building? Why did you destroy a small fraction of our
security systems? And how?"
"No
answers will come out of me, you dork."
"A
dork, am I? Look, the little dork called me a dork!" The bodyguards
laughed.
"We
have ways of making you talk."
A
bodyguard pointed a gun—actually a laser gun—directly at Anti Guy's head.
"Now
will you talk?"
"…Yes."
"Very
good. Who are you?"
"Anti
Guy." Anti Guy realized this wasn't going to good. He's supposed to be leading,
not Snifitson!
"Never
heard of you. Where are you from?"
"Shy
Guy's Toy Box."
"I've
heard of that, but I don't remember. Get less specific."
"The
Mushroom Kingdom."
"Oh!
How intriguing! Tell me, how did you get all the way here. The Mushroom Kingdom
is very far from here…"
"I
got caught in an explosion." Anti Guy dodged around the cannon part.
"Ooh.
Naughty boy. Shame on you." Snifitson laughed. Then he leaned forward and
pointed is finger at Anti Guy. "But that doesn't explain what you're doing in
my building!"
"I…
I want to get a job here."
"LIAR!"
Snifitson slammed the table. The bodyguards almost jumped. Then he relaxed. "I
can tell you're lying. All Shy Guys lie."
"That
may be true."
"Don't
dare try sucking up to me. It won't work. Now, I'd like to know the real
reason."
The
bodyguard shoved the gun deeper into Anti Guy.
"I…
was curious," squealed Anti Guy.
"Curious,
eh? Why didn't you just tell me?" Snifitson reached over the desk and picked up
a brochure. Then he slid it over to Anti Guy. "There. It has everything you
need to know."
Anti
Guy stared at it. It was just a lie. He knew it. Snifitson was evil. He
couldn't wait till he'd get Domino to overthrow him, but he was already
failing.
Snifitson
stood up and clapped his hands together. "Well, now that we've negotiated this
little intrusion, I'm sure our guest would like to see his way out. Men?" He
pointed to the window.
The
two bodyguards dragged Anti Guy to one of the windows. One of them opened it,
and the other dropped Anti Guy out. "Nice doing business with you," said
Snifitson.
Anti
Guy saw endless city before him as he fell. Soon, everything went blank. The
last thing he thought he heard was Dennis Domino saying, "Don't disappoint me,
Anti Guy."
END
OF SCENE 1: A WHOLE NEW WORLD
