DISCLAIMER: "You can run, but you can't hide. Cause I'm gonna rock your world."
MYSTIQUE VOICEOVER: The world has changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.
SCOTT: Actually, I think that's just Toad.
TODD: Hey!
MYSTIQUE VOICEOVER: Much that once was, is now lost, for none that lives has any memory of it.
The Lord of the X
M.V.: It began with the forging of the great Rings.
(Someone pours white goo into a cuplike mould.)
M. V.: Three were given to the elves, immortal, and wisest and fairest of all beings.
(Mystique and two... random guys get a ring each.)
M. V.Seven were given to the dwarflords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.
(Seven Forge clones pick up one ring each from a table.)
M. V.: And nine, nine were given to the race of Men, who above all else wants power.
(Duncan, Taryn, Principle Kelly, Alex, Amara, Tabitha, Sam, Scott and Ray (Yes, that is nine ), all with white hair, hold up their Rings.)
M. V.: For in these Rings were the strength and will to rule over each race. But they were all deceived.
Deep in the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the dark lord Apocalypse forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others.
And in this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life.
One Ring to rule them all.
PYRO: One Ring to find them.
One Ring to- KRRAASH!
M 34: Thank you,Toad.
TOAD: (With a frying pan in hand.) No problem at all.
M. V.: And one by one, the free lands of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring.
(Map of Middle Earth turning dark.)
M.V.: But there was some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the slopes of Mt. Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle Earth.
(Thousands of Jamies march up led by Mastermind and Cannonball. They battle equally many orcs. And slaughter them!)
M.V.: Victory was near.
Cannonball: Yaaaaahh! (Stabs his sword up in the air.)
M.V.: But the power of the Ring could not be undone.
(Everyone stares horrified at Apocalypse, who just entered wearing a black and yellow sombrero.)
TODD: Yo, I thought it was gonna be a spiky helmet?
M 34: Sorry, didn't get to borrow it.
(Apocalypse starts sending out his his psychoblasts, knocking Jamies up in the air. Sam runs up on him from behind, but gets blasted to a rocky hillside.
Rogue (who we haven't really noticed before) runs up to him.)
M.V.: It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Rogue, daughter of the king, picked up her fathers sword.
(Rogue realizes that Apocalypse is looming over her. She reaches for the sword, but Apocalypse steps on it, causing it to break.
He then reaches for her. She swings what's left of the sword against his hand, sending ALL of his fingers flying.
The one with the Ring lands right in front of the camera. Apocalypse become shiny and explodes The sombrero flaps slowly to the ground.)
M.V.: Apocalypse, the enemy of the free people of Middle Earth, was defeated.
(Rogue picks up the finger with the Ring and watches it crumble in her hand.)
M.V.: The Ring passed to Rogue, who had this one chance to destroy evil for ever. But the hearts of ..humans are easily corrupted.
(Rogue rides through a forest with the Ring on a necklace.)
M.V.: And the Ring of Power has a will of it own.
(Rogue gets ambushed by orcs. Next you know, she's floating in a river.)
ROGUE: (Muttering) I can't believe I'm doing this. It's freezing!
M.V.: It betrayed Rogue to her death.
(The Ring falls down between some water plants.)
M.V.: And some things that should not have been forgotten, were now lost.
History became legend, legend became myth, and for 2500 the Ring passed out of all knowledge.
Until, when chance came, it ensnared another bearer.
(Someone blue and furry picks up the Ring and looks at it.)
BEAST: My Prrecioussss..
M. V.: The Ring came to the creature Beast, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him.
(We're in a cave with lots of broken teacups. Someone big and fuzzy is sitting on a rock in the water.)
BEAST: My own. My love. My own. My Precioussss.. Gollum!
M.V.: The Ring brought to Beast unnatural long life. For 500 years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Beast's cave it waited.
(The full moon shines.)
M.V.: Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumors grew of a shadow in the east....
(River with ripples in the water.)
M.V.: ....whispers of a nameless fear.
(Sunset)
M.V.: And the Ring of Power now perceived, its time had now come.
(The Ring falling down on the rocky floor of Beasts cave.)
M.V.: It abadoned Beast. But something happened then, the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable.
STORM: What's this?
M.V.: A hobbit.
(Storm looks at the Ring.)
M.V.: Ororo Munroe of the Shire.
STORM: A ring.
BEAST: (in the background) Lost!! My Precious is lost!
(Storm puts the Ring in her pocket.)
(Great big landscape shot.)
M.V.: For the time will soon come, when hobbits will shape the fortunes of us all.
