IZM 4: The GAUNTLET of PAIN
Written by Lord Timothy
Scene 2
Fade in on a dark road overlooking a vast valley filled with trees, plains, even a swamp. Night has fallen, and a cool breeze whistles across the quiet street. From around a bend, a spooky-looking bus speeds by, racing through the view. View follows the bus, catches up, and passes through to focus on Dib. All the kids are talking loudly to each other. Zim is sitting back scowling at everything in a dignified manner
Dib: It's getting dark. Shouldn't we be there by now?
A black wisp manifests next to him. From it, Ms. Bitters materializes
Ms. Bitters: We will be arriving shortly. Until then, it would be preferred that you held your tongue. Squinting and looking shifty-eyed in an elaborately paranoid fashion The nite-crawlys are among us. They want our brain-meats.
Dib: Looking doubtful Nite-crawlys? Is that some kind of supernatural grasshopper?
Ms. Bitters: Pointing a finger at Dib's oversized head with a tiny whoosh like that of something going really fast Do not MOCK what you do not UNDERSTAND. Sniffing the air, then raising her voice All students must fasten their safety harnesses immediately!
As the students fasten their harnesses, Ms. Bitters slithers up to the front of the bus. The driver is a greasy-looking guy humming some random notes. A muffin flies out from the back of the bus without warning and bounces off his head with a squeaky noise. He turns around scowling
Driver: Yelling OKAY, WHO THREW THE MUFFIN?
The driver turns around in time to see the bus on a head-on course for a sharp curve. He yells and grabs the steering wheel in a desperate swerve. The bus launches off the curve, flying through the air into darkness. Shrieks and screams follow the bus as it plummets
View follows the bus, as it falls down through a layer of trees covering the base of the valley. Branches, twigs and leaves get caught in the open windows on the way down. The driver fumbles around and pushes a button labeled "Emergency Landing Device: Use As Directed." Outside the bus, four huge parachutes launch from the corners, slowing the bus' descent down. It floats down to a soft touchdown on a gravel road
The parachutes sail down to the lay on the ground as the bus door opens. Ms. Bitters sweeps out, scanning the surroundings. The class pile out behind her, whispering amongst themselves. Zim and Dib climb out last
Ms. Bitters: We have arrived. Follow me. Camp staff will handle your possessions.
Dib: Looking skeptical This is it? We just flew off a cliff! How can we be there?
To the right of Dib, the sound of flames and a flash of light attract everyone's attention. The view turns to show a giant gateway with giant torches on each side. A sign is hanging on top of the gateway reading: Camp Whicker Basket
Ms. Bitters: Satisfied Dib? Sweeping off through the gateway
Dib: More or less.
The whole class follows Ms. Bitters, talking to each other. Zim follows behind, looking paranoid and thoroughly shifty-eyed
View pans up to the sign. Lightning and thunder boom suddenly, and in the burst of light, the words Whicker Basket start to peel off in an ominous manner. Spooky music plays. Fade out
End Scene 2
A/N:
Unfortunately, I had to make a lot of cuts. I only planned space for about 8 characters, so the following will remain in. The rest won't appear.
These people will be included:
Kossen Phoenix DragonStar Fang Took Nic Sara E. Pecora Ozymandias GiGa Bik
Many apologies to those who didn't make it, but I was looking for a select group, so cuts had to be made. The next scene should be up soon, in the next few days.
