Hello again, everyone! I'm back once again! And yes, I'm back with Scene 8 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! October of 2020 and Halloween as ended, and now, it is the beginning of November! Thanksgiving Day is on November 26th, 2020 this year, and after that, it'll be time for the Christmas season! And even though the ongoing deadly and contagious COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic still in full swing until a vaccine is developed, I'll still be bringing out scene and/or chapter/page updates on my stories for all of you to enjoy. I'm not going to let this virus stop me. In this scene, we will see what happens when Brain looks through the Amazon jungle for Pinky after he got kidnapped in the previous scene. And now, its time for us all to sit back, relax, turn off all of our electronic devices, and finally begin the long-awaited Scene 8 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
Brain (studying the map and compass): Now, it says here that the "Cliff of Death" is about 5 miles away from my current location. So, if I walk diagonally upward to the left from this direction, I should be at the base of the "Cliff of Death" in about...2 hours and 45 minutes from here...WHAT?! (lowers map and compass) 2 hours and 45 minutes?! But...Pinky might be DEAD by then! (drops down on knees and cries) Oh Pinky, why did you HAVE TO GET KIDNAPPED?! (cries) I'll never same him in time! (cries out louder) PINKY, I'M SORRY FOR MY WAYS OF TREATING YOU IN THE PAST! (drops map and compass, covering his eyes) I just wish that I had a way...(sniffs) to get there sooner...(sniffs and uncovers his eyes) SOMEONE, PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN!
(Suddenly, an ensemble actor dressed up as a Tribesman enters stage left, wearing a long and thick banana tree leaf skirt around his waist (with a pair of black compression shorts underneath it to keep his "personal" area covered at all times), bracelets of thin greens vines tied around his ankles and wrists, sandals made up of twigs on his feet, and a circular crown of green ferns around his head. He is also holding a long wooden spear in his right hand, that is made up of a long wooden pole that is about 7 feet long, and a sharp spearhead rock tied to the end via some string. The Tribesman walks over to Brain, holding out his spear in front of him...)
Tribesman 1: HEY! HEY YOU! (walks over to Brain)
Brain (sniffs): Huh? Who said that? (notices Tribesman 1) Oh...hello there. (wipes tears off with his tail) My name is...
Tribesman 1 (interrupting Brain): SILENCE! (aims spear at his throat)
Brain (gulps in fear and widens his eyes)
Tribesman 1: Good! Now, get up and let go of your tail!
Brain (let's go of his tail and stands up)
Tribesman 1: Now, state your name and your reason for being here in this area!
Brain: Oh...(chuckles nervously) W-Well, m-my name is B-Brain, and I'm here b-b-b-because I'm looking for m-my m-mouse f-friend P-Pinky, and I...
Tribesman 1 (interrupting Brain): Mouse friend?! (looks left and right) I don't see ANY OTHER mice in this jungle other than you, you STUPID trespasser!
Brain: T-Trespasser?! (waves arms out in front of him) No, no, no, no! Y-You got it all wrong, sir! My enemy, a hamster named Snowball, kidnapped Pinky, and took him to this jungle. H-He's heading to a place called the "Cliff of Death", and I must get there to save Pinky from either certain danger or possibly death!
Tribesman 1 (scoffs): Yeah, right...like I will believe that! (stomps left foot) SHOW ME PROOF OF YOUR CLAIM! NOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Brain: (lowers arms): P-P-Proof?! What do you mean by...?
Tribesman 1 (interrupting Brain): Proof, you fool! Do you have any legal documents?! A map!? A ticket or brochure?! WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE OF YOUR CLAIM!?
Brain: Oh...proof? (eyes) Y-Yes, I do got proof! (reaches down, picks up map and compass, and stands back up) H-here you go! (smiles nervously)
Tribesman 1 (snatches the map from Brain with his left and and looks it over fast): Ah, you have a map of the Amazon...(nods) Well, it seems that this LOOKS like its a legit map, but...(folds it up and tucks it underneath his left arm) I can't confirm this since I don't know ANYTHING about authenticity of maps!
Brain: D-D-D-D-Does that mean I can...g-g-g-go n-now? (chuckles nervously)
Tribesman 1: NO! (drops spear and grabs Brain's left arm) That means that you're coming with us!
Brain (freaked out): US?! Wait, you mean that you're not the only one here?! (looks left and right nervously)
Tribesman 1 (looks up) BACKUP! (looks to the left) I need backup! NOW!
Brain (struggles to break free): HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! (struggles some more) LET GO OF ME!
(Right on cue, 2 more actors dressed up as Tribesmen enter stage left, both wearing the same outfit as Tribesman 1, and holding a spear in one of their hands. As they enter stage left, they both rush over to where Brain and Tribesman 1 are standing. They then both suddenly tackle Brain to the floor, and force him to lie on his stomach. They then force Brain's hands behind him, pull out a small length of rope, and tie his hands behind his back. As this happens, Brain struggles to break free and screams for help, but to no avail. The 3 Tribesmen then all forcefully lift Brain back up onto his feet...)
Brain (glares): Is this how you treat all tourists that happen to walk through this area?! (struggles to break free of his bindings but to no avail)
Tribesman 2: HEY! This "area" you speak of happens to be our private land! (grabs onto Brain's left upper arm)
Brain (eyes widen): Private land?!
Tribesman 3 (grabs onto Brain's right upper arm): Yes, private land you fool! This land is our land, called the "Death Warrior Land"!
Brain (gasps): THE WHAT?!
Tribesman 1 (picks up his spear): "Death Warrior Land"! Since the oldest days of the Amazon's existence, our "Death Warrior" tribe has worked hard to keep the Amazon jungle free of tourists and destructive men!
Brain (gulps in fear)
Tribesman 2 (aims spear at Brain's throat): Shall we kill him, boss?!
Tribesman 3 (also aims spear at Brain's throat): Yeah, shall we cut him open and cook his internal organs for dinner!?
Brain (gasps): No...No! NO! (struggles) P-P-P-Please don't h-h-h-hurt me!
Tribesman 1: NO! (stomps left foot) NO! You all know the rules, men! We don't kill ANY intruders until we take them to our leaders for final judgments and let THEM decide if they will die or not. And if they agree, they'll die!
Tribesman 2 (sighs): Fine...sorry about that, I just got carried away...(nods) Looks like its back to the village with this...mouse! (glares at Brain)
Brain: W-Wait...(to Tribesman 1) you're not the leader? (to Tribesman 2) Village? You're from a village? By that...are you saying that...there is MORE of you?!
Tribesman 3: Yes, there is! We live in a village called the "Death Warrior Village" about a mile from here!
Brain (struggles): I don't have time for this! My mouse friend Pinky is in danger, and if I don't get to the "Cliff of Death" in time, Pinky might be dead, and...
Tribesman 1: SILENCE! (stops right foot) YOU STAY QUIET UNTIL OUR LEADER DETERMINES WHAT TO DO WITH YOU! (looks at Tribesman 2 and Tribesman 3) Men, let's take him to the village!
Tribesman 2 and Tribesman 3 (in unison): YEAH! (raise up their fists in the fair)
Tribesman 1: Follow me, men! Back to the village at once, and be careful while avoiding those jaguars! (exits stage left)
Tribesman 2 and Tribesman 3 (escorting Brain as they walk to left side of the stage): Well, you're coming with us, mouse! (exits stage left with Brain)
Bran (struggles to break free): No! Wait! You don't know what you're doing! (struggles some more! LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (gets dragged out of view to the left as both Tribesman 2 and Tribesman 3 also exit stage left)
(As the 3 Tribesmen and Brain exit stage left, some jungle music begins to play in the background. As it does, the stage lights shinning above the front, center, and back area of the stage dim, and another set transition begins. As they do, a large green wall panel covered with green leaves, green vines, and various realistic-looking paintings of trees and plants of the jungle comes down into the center area of the stage, concealing the rest of the jungle setting behind it. As the wall panel gets into position, the large clay anthills disappear from view via sliding trapdoor and hydraulic lift. As they do, a large rectangular-shaped hut made up of bamboo sticks, large dangling leaves covering the doorway and roof-topped with large long and wide banana tree leaves comes up into view in the center area of the stage in front of the wall panel via the same sliding trapdoor and hydraulic lift. As it does, 3 more circular bamboo huts slide into view on both the left side and right side of the stage, positioning themselves diagonally towards the central hut on the left and right side. As they do, about 8 additional ensemble actors dressed up as Tribesmen and Tribeswomen (with the same outfits and spears as the first 3 Tribesmen) enter stage left, and take position all around the village setting. As they do, about 6 children actors playing the Jungle Tribe Children (3 boys and 3 girls; who are also wearing similar outfits to the adults and holding 3-foot long spears), enter stage right, and take their positions all around the village setting. As they do, the stage lights shinning above the front and center area of the stage come back on. As they do, the jungle music stops playing in the background. As it does, the 3 Tribesman and a forcefully-escorted Brain enter stage left, beginning the next part of the scene...)
Tribesman 1 (enters stage left): Ah, here we are! This village of ours is known as the "Death Warrior Tribal Village"! This is the home for us Death Warrior Tribespeople! Our tribe has been around for many generations!
Tribesman 2 (enters stage left): And our current leaders are brand new...as of several years ago!
Brain (rolls eyes): Brand new as of several years ago? (struggles against his ropes)
Tribesman 3 (enters stage left along with Tribesman 2): Yep! You see...several years ago, our 2 current leaders happened to be walking by as our old leader passed away due to a jaguar attack. And...well, we didn't really have a backup plan in place for who would become our new leader after he passed away. So, once he did, these 2 bystanders walked over and asked us if everything was alright. We explained the situation to them...
Tribesman 1 (finishing for Tribesman 3): And as we all know, they told us that they would be the leader not only to help us in a kind way, but also to "keep their minds busy" during a worldwide journey that they happened to be on during that time.
Brain (raises an eyebrow): Journey? What kind of journey?
Tribesman 2 (shrugs): I got no idea. They didn't share any details. All they said was, they were looking for a child of theirs that got kidnapped many years ago.
Tribesman 3: And while they believe in peace and non-harmful ways of dealing with crime, usually when we hunt animals to eat, they don't mind at all. And they usually let us do our own thing, no problem!
(At this point, all of the other Tribesmen and Tribeswomen, as well as the Jungle Tribe Children looked over at 3 Tribesmen and the tied-up Brain. As they do, Tribesman 4 walks over to where they were standing...)
Tribesman 4 (walks over): Hey, who is this mouse?! (points to Brain)
Brain: Well, my name is Brain, and I...
Tribesman 1 (to Brain): SILENCE! (to Tribesman 4) This is a mouse named Brain. I found him trespassing on our land!
Tribesman 5 (walks over to Tribesman 1): Oh, a trespasser! (rubs hands together) This doesn't look good for you, mouse! (grins)
Tribesman 6 (looks over): I'm sure the leaders will have you executed by being burned alive!
Brain (gasps)
Tribesman 7: Or...they'll have you disemboweled!
Brain (struggles to get away)
Tribeswoman 1: Or maybe, they'll make you into a slave of ours and make you handle mud all day!
Tribeswoman 2: Best case scenario, they'll kick you out and make you go home to wherever you came from!
Brain: But...b-b-b-but I C-C-CAN'T go home! I...
Tribeswoman 3 (interrupting Brain)
Tribeswoman 4: SHUT UP! Our leaders shall decide what to do with you!
All Jungle Tribe Children: YEAH! (raise fists up in the fair)
Tribesman 1 (to Tribesman 2): You...go and alert our leaders of the situation!
Tribesman 2 (nods): You got it! (turns around and walks towards the rectangular-shaped hut in the middle of the setting)
(As Tribesman 2 walked over to the rectangular-shaped hut in the center area of the setting, the others Tribesmen and Tribeswomen, the Jungle Tribe Children, and Brain all gather around in front of the doorway of said hut. As they do, Tribesman 2 knocked on the left side of the hut...)
Tribesman 2 (knocks on the left side of the hut): Leaders! Leaders, come on out here! We got an intruder on our hands! (steps back a few feet and looks over at Brain) Any minute now, our leaders will come out to pass judgment on you!
Brain (shivers in fear)
Tribesman 1: And now, please, allow us to proudly present, our LEADERS OF THE VILLAGE!
(At this point, the long leaves covering the doorway parted open and as a surprise to the entire audience, the actors dressed up as Brain's Mother and Brain's Father from Act 1 emerge from the large hut in the center of the stage, stepping forward out of said hut. Brain's Mother and Brain's Father are both wearing long grass skirts, long green capes made of of banana leaves clipped at the front with a large plastic beetle bug, fern bracelets around their ankles and wrists, and thin crowns of color flowers and long grass around their heads. The entre audience cheers and claps very loudly for the reappearance of Bran's parents. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the entire audience dies down. As it does, the rest of the scene continues to take place...)
Brain's Mother: An intruder? In our village?
Brain's Father (to Tribesman 1 and Tribesman 2): So, who is this intruder you are all speaking of?
Tribesman 1 (points to Brain): This is he, leaders! He calls himself Brain!
Brain (gulps)
Brain's Mother (nods): Very well...(to Brain) You...step forward towards us, Brain!
Brain (nods and slowly walks up towards them) Y-Yes...(stops in front of both mice)
Brain's Father: So, they say you are an intruder. Is this true?
Brain (gulps): I...I...I...I suppose so.
Brain's Mother (raises eyebrow) You suppose so?
Brain (nods): Y-Yes...I do. Though...I didn't m-mean to d-d-do so...
Brain's Father (folds arms in front of him): What you do mean by that!?
Brain: I was looking for my kidnapped friend named Pinky, and I accidently stumbled upon this territory of the jungle, and...
Brain's Mother (gasps): Wait...someone you know got kidnapped?!
Brain's Father: You poor thing! (turns Brain around and pulls out a large rusty knife from behind him) So, it wasn't intentional?
Brain (turns head around and sees rusty knife; gasping over it): No! It wasn't! I-I-I p-p-p-promise! P-P-Please d-d-don't k-k-kill me! (gulps in fear)
Brain's Father (nods): Alright then...in that case...(grabs Brain's tied-up wrists with one hand, and uses the knife to cut the rope off with the knife) There, you are now free! (turns Brain back around)
Tribesman 1 (gulps): Oh...I just screwed up...oops! (chuckles nervously)
Brain's Mother (glares at Tribesman 1 before looking back at Brain)
Brain (looks at both of his now-freed hands): T-Thank you! Once again, I'm so sorry for...
Brain's Mother (interrupting Brain): No need to apologize to us, Brain. Our tribespeople of the village must've refused to listen to your side of the story. We are so sorry about that.
Tribesman 1 (steps forward): W-Wait! If I may interject...(reaches for map tucked under his left arm)
Brains Father (interrupting Tribesman 1): Not now, you! (points to Brain) You scared this poor soul who lost a friend of his, simply because you rushed to judgement by the looks of it!
Tribesman 1: Yes, I admit that I did that...(looks at Brain) And I' am sorry about that...(looks at Brain's Mother and Brain's Father) But when he mentioned that his friend was kidnapped, he...
Brain's Mother (interrupting Tribesman 1): We said, not now! (looks back at Brain) Anyways, we are so sorry once again. You see, many years ago, we lost our own child to kidnappers.
Tribesman 1 (interrupting Brain's Mother): I already told him that...
Brain's Mother (to Tribesman 1): Don't interrupt me, please! (turns back to Brain) Anyways, yes, a long time ago, our child was kidnapped from the meadow that we lived in. A large meadow with trees and beautiful flowers, and of course, our home of a labeled "World's Finest Peaches" tin can.
Brain (eyes widen): Wait...did you said...a tin can that was labeled "World's Finest Peaches"?
Brain's Father: Yes, "World's Finest Peaches"! Long story short, we tried to rescue him, but some humans in white outfits grabbed him and took him away, tossing him into a van labeled "ACME Labs", and all before driving away!
Brain's Mother: We were devastated by the whole event, and even though we were, we both determined that we didn't want to give up, and we decided to start a journey around the world to look for our child and finally become reunited as a happy family once again! It was hard at first, since we didn't have any media access to find out where "Acme Labs" was located, so we first visited various meadows and jungles all over the world, in hopes that there would be an "ACME Labs" facility nearby as our first clue. But that gave us no luck, until we nearly gave up during our stop right here in the Amazon jungle...
Brain's Father: So, to keep our minds working and occupied until the day we find him, we are currently the leaders of the Death Warrior Tribespeople!
Brain (rubs the side of his head): "World's Finest Peaches"...tin can...kidnapped...tossed into a "ACME Labs" van!? (looks up) I t-think I k-know where your long lost child is! (stops rubbing the side of his head)
Brain's Mother (gasps): Y-Y-You do?!
Brain: Yes...YES! I-It was ME! (sniffs) Mom...dad...its me! (points to himself) I' AM YOUR CHILD!
Brain's Father: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!
Brain: Yes...YES! Mom, dad, I was taken away by those humans to "Acme Labs"! I remembered it all! Its me, I'm your son!
All Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children (gasps)
Tribesman 1: Oh my...
Tribesman 2: Could it...be?!
Brain's Father (examines Brain): Well, there is only ONE way to find out if this is true...
Brain: And that is...?
Brain's Mother: Your eye color. Our eyes are brown, so let's see yours...(gets close to Brain's face and looks into his eyes) And your eyes are...(gasps) b-b-b-b-brown like ours! (steps back) Honey...(grabs her husband's hands) It...it...it...(tears) it...really is our child! (cries)
Brain's Father (gasps): So it is...(begins to cry and hugs his wife) Our son is back! (cries some more)
Brain: Hey, don't leave me out! (hugs his mother and father, crying out as he does) Mom! Dad! Its so good to see you both again!
Brain's Mother: We...we missed you, son! (cries) We never thought that we would ever see you again! (cries)
Brain's Father: Oh my boy...its been many years...(cries) Oh, it was so unfair that you got taken away! (cries)
Brain: Oh, its so food to see you both again! (cries some more)
Tribesman 2 (covers mouth): Oh my...a family reunion that is so beautiful!
Brain's Mother (stops hugging Brain and her husband): Anyways...son...its so good to have you back in your life. Man, its a miracle that you remember that event from your childhood! (sniffs) How did you remember that day so well?
Brain (chuckles): Oh, its such a long story...(stops hugging his mother and father)
Brain Father (sniffs): You...want to share it with us? (lets of the hands of his wife)
Brain: Well, I...(pauses and nods) You know what? Yes...yes! In fact...its been so long in terms of a journey for me, I think you're in for a real treat!
(Suddenly, some emotional music begins to play in the background. As it does, Brain begins to sing the next musical number of the show...)
Brain (singing): Its been many years,
Since that faithful day,
In my childhood!
Where I was taken by humans..,
And was subject to science...
Experiments and tortures!
I missed yoooooooooooooooooou...
Mom and dad, I missed you so much during that time!
I missed the kisses and hugs before bedtime,
And the meals we shared together as a family!
They say that things happen,
For a reason, a reason of fate or your destiny!
The years passing by after my kidnapping,
Were just me in that science lab all day,
Kept inside from the outside world...
And after I met a Hamster named Snowball,
We both became close friends!
But faaaaaaaaaaaaaate had another plan for us!
I and Snowball were put through a gene splicer machine,
And we both were given intelligence like humans!
And that is when I decided,
That I wanted to take over the wooooooooooooooooooorld!
Brain's Mother: Take over the world?
Brain (singing): Yes mom, I'm ashamed to admit it,
But that has been my goal,
For most of my recent years!
During the time I have missed you...
The time I have missed you...
The time I have missed you and dad...
I have been obsessed with world domination!
But it started off on a rocky foot,
As Snowball and I, disagreed on our reasons,
For taking over the world!
So, after a brief fight,
I kicked Snowball out of my life,
Which allowed me to meet Pinky,
And become friends with him instead!
And many years later,
He came back in my life,
And what he wanted mean more to me than the world...
He wanted Pinky...
Yes, he wanted Pinky...
He wanted Pinky...
To make me depressed and lonely!
And after multiple neck and neck fights between us,
Snowball managed to succeed!
Brain's Father (gasps): No way!
Brain (singing): Pinky was lured away,
By the promises of luxuries,
And plenty of gourmet stuff!
But after two tries when I tried to rescue Pinky,
And after not one but two times he rejected me,
Because of some...mistreatment...mistakes I made in the past,
I tried one last time,
And I finally made up with him!
But then once again,
Pinky was sadly kidnapped by Snowball,
And I'm here to look for him!
If it wasn't for my obsession with world domination...
Pinky would still be with me...
Still be with me...
And still would be my friend side-by-side!
Mom and dad, I'm such a disgrace, aren't I?
I try to take over the world,
And as I result,
I loose my best friend multiple tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimes!
I wanted to take over the world,
Because the world took away my hone from me!
It seems that Dr. Freud was right,
And I just wanted to go hoooooooooooome!
Brain's Mother (singing): Oh my son,
Don't blame yourself!
Your childhood was traumatic,
And from your point of view,
I understaaaaaaaaaaaand!
Brain's Father (singing): You just wanted to come back home...
To be with us once again,
And fill the childhood void,
That you lost on that faithful daaaaaaaaaaay!
Its not wrong to do things...
As long as they dont go too far!
We all make mistakes in life,
But they don't stop us from living!
Brain's Mother (singing): All you wanted is to be reunited with us again!
And that is something,
That I admire as a mother!
Brain's Father (singing): And as a father myself,
I admire your actions too,
But trying to take over the world,
Wasn't the right way to goooooooooooo!
Son, I love you always,
And so does your mother, too!
We are your parents,
And nothing that you do in this world,
Will ever get us to hate you,
Stop loving you,
Or kick you out of our lives,
And our memories, too!
Brain's Mother (singing): All is forgiven son...
Brain's Father (singing): All is forgiven, my son...
Brain (singing): I now have the name of Brain...
Given to me by myself,
Since those early gene splicing experiments,
Gave me this large head and brain! (points to his head)
Brain's Mother and Father (singing): Its so good to see you...
It is great to be reunited...
A family reunioooooooooon...
Is all that we wanted...Brain!
Brain (singing): I'm so glad to see yooooooooooooou...
After missing you for many years...
I missed you moooooooooom...
And...daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
(The emotional music stops playing in the background, and the musical number ends as Brain and his parents shared another group hug. As they do, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the entire audience dies down. As it does, the rest of the scene continues to take place...)
Brain (sniffs): Oh mom and dad...its so great to be reunited with you both again...especially after all these years!
Brain's Mother: Oh Brain, my son...(pats his back) It feels great to me, too.
Brain's Father: And don't forget me, my son. (pats Brain on his shoulder)
Brain (let's go of his mother and father): I just I could turn back time and stop those dumb decisions I have done...especially Pinky...(eyes widen) Wait...Pinky! PINKY! (steps back and facepalms himself) I-I almost forgot! (lowers his hand and arm) Mom, dad, I-I-I need your help...(looks at the Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children all around him) In fact, I need EVERYBODY'S help!
Brain's Mother: Help? With what, Brain?
Brain's Father: Yeah, what's all the trouble, son?
Brain: My friend Pinky! He's a mouse just like me, and he was kidnapped by Snowball, that hamster I was telling you about! He kidnapped Pinky and he brought him here!
Brain's Mother: What!?
Brain: Yes! My friend Pinky is danger and I need some help to rescue him! He probably is even dead already...I-I don't even know anymore!
Brain's Father: Well, we'd be happy to help, but do you have a lead on him? A clue, maybe?
Brain: Yes! I did, but the first Tribesman I have encountered here took it from me!
Tribesman 1 (walks up to Brain's mother and father): And I'm so sorry about that! (pulls out brochure and unfolds it) I wanted to make sure it was legit with your guidance before I gave it back...(hands to Brain's mother and father) Here...I'm sure this will help! (smiles nervously)
Brain's Mother (rolls eyes): Well, this is ONE thing that you are doing right! (glares at Tribesman 1)
Tribesman 1: Hehehehe...oops?! (chuckles nervously)
Brain's Father (grabs the brochure and unfolds it): Ah, perfect! This comes with a map! (studies the map part carefully) Did this enemy of yours circle the destination of the "Cliff of Death"?
Brain: Yes! That is where I was trying to go to before your Tribesmen captured me and brought me to this village!
Brain's Mother (studies the map with her husband): Well Brain, you're in luck today! This village happens to be hear a shortcut path that'll get us to the "Cliff of Death" in only half an hour!
Brain: Yes...YES! But...how on Earth does that path even exist?! I mean...it was MILES away from where I was moments ago, and this village isn't to far from my previous spot!
Brain's Father: Well son, I got no idea...(folds up map and hands it to Brain) But that is not important right now. What's important now, is that we band together and save your friend!
Brain's Mother: And I'm way ahead of you, dear! (looks up at the Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children) ATTENTION DEATH WARRIOR VILLAGERS! GIVE US YOUR FULL AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION, RIGHT NOW!
All Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children (all face Brain's parents and Brain): YES, VILLAGE LEADERS!
Brain's Mother: We got a mission to do, and we got to do it right now! We got to all work together like a well-oiled village community and save Brain's friend, Pinky, from a certain death! WHO'S IN?!
All Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children (raising spears and fists up in the air): YEAH! Your orders and our commands and we follow them no matter what they are!
Brain's Father: Well, what are we all standing around for?! We have a fellow mouse friend to save! Follow me, my wife, and Brain...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! We are the "Death Warrior Tribespeople"!
All Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!
Brain's Mother and Father (rushing towards the left of the stage) Well, come on! We got a mouse to save! (exits stage left)
Brain (walks over to the left side of the stage): You heard my parents, everyone! LET'S GO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! (exits stage left, following his mother and father)
All Tribespeople and Jungle Tribe Children: WE ARE THE "DEATH WARRIOR TRIBESPEOPLE"! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! LET'S GO KICK SOME EVIL BUTT! YES! (exits stage left all together)
(As Brain's mother and father, Brain, all of the Tribespeople, and Jungle Tribe Children exit stage left, some more suspenseful music music begins to play in the background. As it does, the stage lights shinning above the front and center area of the stage dim. As they do, another set transition begins, as the 3 circular huts on both the left and right side of the stage slide out of view on both the left and right side. As they do, the 2 larger thick bushes with colorful sprouted flowers on them both side out of view from the front-left and front-right side of the stage. As they do, the rectangular-shaped hut disappears below the stage via sliding trapdoor and hydraulic left. As it does, the large green wall panel covered with green leaves, green vines, and various realistic-looking paintings of trees and plants of the jungle rises up out of view, revealing a massive setting that looks like the highest peak of the "Cliff of Death". This new setting has 3 feet of dry ice fog covering the floor of the stage to make it look like water (though the front area of the stage has no dry ice covering it, but instead remains uncovered for land sequences in the next scene), a large blue sky and waterline horizon backdrop covering the back wall of the stage, and of course, a massive structure resembling a large cliff. This cliff setting is about 15 feet high above the stage, and its covering the center and back area of the stage, while sticking out from the right side of the stage, where there is a hidden metal ladder offstage to the right for the actors to climb off and onto the set from. The cliff set structure is also very wide, and half of it near the edge is horizonal, while the other half extending to the edge of the stage on the right is slightly slanted downward. At the horizontal area of the stage is a large thick wooden pole that Pinky is tied up to with chains and rope, surrounded by wooden logs, twigs, and hay. Snowball is standing next to the pole on the right, facing the entire audience while holding a lit-up torch in one of his hands. Standing right close to the edge of the cliff set piece on the left, are the 5 Henchman from the previous scene, standing side by side, with their arms folded in front of them. All of them have hidden hip harnesses underneath their clothing, and thin hidden cables from above the stage are hooked up to the back of said secret harnesses for safety reasons. On the sides of the cliff below the platform at the top are detailed coverings resembling dirt, rocks, and plant roots, all creating the illusion of a large and high oceanside cliff. As the set transition completes, the suspenseful music continues to play in the background, but it lowers a bit so the actors could be heard onstage. As it does, the stage lights shinning above the front, center, and back areas of the stage come back on. As they do, the climax battle scene of the musical begins to take place...)
And that was the thrilling conclusion of Scene 8 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! And...boy, what a scene it was! Isn't it great that after MANY years, Brain got unexpectedly reunited with his parents?! Brain is so happy, and I'm pretty sure the entire audience is very happy about that, too! Oh, and let's not forget about the reactions of Brain's mother and father, seeing their only son once again after all of those years have passed! And now, the good vs evil battle climax of the musical is about to begin, with Brain, his parents, and the other tribespeople fighting Snowball and his henchman, and saving Pinky from a terrible death! And the musical number in this scene was based off of the real-life song "For Good" from the popular Broadway, US National Tour, and London/West End musical, "Wicked". Well, its time for us all to move on to Scene 9 of Act 2 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
