(Open to Juan & Chris playing a game of chess.)
Chris: King me.
Juan: Not again.
Chris: Trust me Juan.. It takes practice.. You'll pick up on it soon enough.
(Mark enters through an opened door.)
Mark: I could've swore I heard some voices in here. (he looks over at Juan & Chris) Oh it's just you two.
Juan: Oh hi Mark.
(Mark rolled his eyes.)
Mark: So what are you guys up to?
Chris: Well if it wasn't obvious, I was teaching Juan here how to play chess.
Mark: Hmph.. Who needs chess when you got the coolest, expensive game around. Bring it in boys! (claps)
(Mark's servants bring in a cart covered up by a tarp. Mark then pulls the tarp away to reveal a board game with digital technology.)
Juan: (not impressed) Oh boy.. What is that game?
?: Super tacky that's what it is.
(Juan looks from behind Mark to see Alex with a disgusted look on his face.)
Juan: how did you get here?
Alex: I have my ways. Mark what even is this thing?
Mark: This is Retro-Massive 34. It's one of my stepdad's inventions.. It can automatically make the game fun..
Juan: But where's the strategy?
Mark: Hm? Strategy?
Alex: Don't you think that's a bit over the top Mark?
Mark: Nonsense.. Everyone buys this game because it's fun..
Juan: But strategy keeps the game to having fun.. And without Strategy.. It's no game.. You have no humor sense on the game.
Alex: Right on Juan. (Alex then looks at the game with a more critical eye & notices a logo which feels vaguely familiar to him & suspicion raises.) Hm... Hey I think I've...
(Juan's V-Com starts to beep along with Chris & Alex's V-Coms.)
Alex: I think we better get going.
Juan: Yeah..
Mark: Wait what?
(The three head out of the school yard & over to the clubhouse.)
Alex: I didn't get a good enough look at it but Mark's game doesn't look like it was made for playing games.
Danny: Wait a minute what did you say the logo said?
Alex: It said Proskar & Co. (Gasp) You don't think that.
(Danny then shows a picture of a game board which Proskar made.)
Chris: I've got a feeling we know who we are up against now.
Juan: My one question is who this Proskar guy is.
Alex: I haven't seen Proskar myself. But from what I was told is that he's a criminal that the MBC have come across before & that his main gimmick is his joker personality & game playing.
?: It's good to see that you have been well informed.
(We turn over to the MBComputer screen to see Proskar plaster on it.)
Proskar: I see you got reinforcements now.
Danny: Enough of the chit-chat just tell us why you're here!
Proskar: Why I'm here for a Re-match, of course! Say, you must be those newbies..Let see. Um.. Suan and Jalex
Juan: What?
Alex: Really? That wasn't even close!
Proskar: Anyways, Let the first round begin! (he pressed a button, then the MBC suddenly appeared in a Dragon's Lair esc dungeon, dressed as weird medieval outfits.)
Proskar: As you can see I've already managed to trap some of your other comrades here.
Juan: You mean-
Proskar: Observe!
(turn to the right where we see Cathy dressed up as a princess inside a bubble.)
Cathy: Some one get me out of here!
(Juan starts to blush a bit. Alex then looks at Juan with a shocked & disturbed face.)
Alex: Don't worry Cathy we'll get you out of.. WHAT THE!?
(Alex's mechanical right arm has been transformed into a battle mace.)
Juan: Oh my goodness!
Proskar: Heh.. You cannot play the games without deadly weapons... & a dragon.
Danny: You're not gonna get away with this! One way or another we will find a - wait did he say Dragon!?
Alex: What's a Dragon?
Juan: Um guys. Look behind us!
(Turn around to see a huge purple dragon coming straight for them, roaring.)
Chris: RUN!
(Alex tries to run away but his battle mace arm is dragging in the dirt & lose speed.)
Alex: Guys wait up! This thing on my arm is slowing me down!
(Then he hit the dragon with the mace. The Dragon uses its fire breath on Alex but a super fast blur comes by & swipes Alex away before he could get singed.)
Alex: Speedy! Thank goodness you're here.
Danny: Wait since Speedy & Cathy are here that means the others are as well.
Speedy: I don't know. The only ones in here from what I can recollect are us, Cathy, & that dragon over there used to be Franky. That was until Proskar used the program we are in to transform her into one. He's basically playing God at this point.
Proskar: (slurping juice) (claps sarcastic)
Danny: Wait Alex you said Mark's Machine had a Proskar logo on it, right?
Alex: Yeah.
Chris: Oh dear.
(See Mark running manically in the distance.)
Chris: Speedy! Change back to a human.
Speedy: I cant! The program is suppressing some of my abilities!
Juan: Pretend you're a player
Alex: Wait a minute, If Speedy cant turn into human form than how come me & Cathy aren't out of our human disguises? (A bright glow flashes upon both of them reverting them back to alien form.) (Sigh) I just had to jinx it didn't I?
(Proskar is eating popcorn while he watches them)
Mark: (yells)
Juan: Mark!
Alex: Please tell me I still got my telekinesis.
(Alex manages to lift Mark out of the way of the Dragon.)
Mark: (still scared, unconscious)
Juan: Hmm.. (Juan then sees a purple gem on the dragon's chest.) That's it! That gem... If it's removed, Franky will turn back to normal!
Alex: But who is going to try & take it out?
(They all look at Juan.)
Juan: (Sigh) Fine I'll do it! But I'll need a distraction for the dragon.
(We then transition over to the dragon.)
Alex: Hey Fire breath!
(Juan goes over to remove the gem while the others distract the dragon. The dragon transforms into Franky who is about 10 feet in the air.)
Danny: I don't see her.
Franky: AHHHHHHHHHH!
(Franky lands on top of Danny)
Danny & Franky: Oof!
Franky: What happened? (She looks underneath of her.) Oh hey Danny.
Danny: Hey.
Chris: Um not to be a downer & all but we still need to find a way to get Cathy out of there.
(Alex looks down at his arm.)
Alex: Maybe I could bust her out.
Proskar: Ab-ba-ba-ba no cheating! (He looks over at Franky in her alien form & starts to flirt with her) Hey there (Clicks his tongue at her & winks)
Franky: Guuh! In your dreams, metal head!
Alex: Who ever said we were cheating? I was just thinking of a way to get her out of there.
Proskar: Fair enough. (to Franky) Call me.
Franky: That freak has been hitting on me ever since I got in here.
Danny: just ignore him.
(Alex swings his arm at the bubble which pops it, freeing Cathy.)
Proskar: Time for round 2!
(The MBC then appear on an arena, Proskar shows up as the King & Franky as Queen.)
Cathy: Well at least thing cant get any worse.
Danny: You just had to jinx it.
(A robotic Minotaur appears.)
Juan: Guys I think Proskar just changed Alex into a Minotaur.
Proskar: (wrapping his arm around Franky) Enjoying the show, darling? (he leans over for a kiss. Franky smacks him in the face with one of her head snakes. To which Proskar chuckles in delight.)
Juan: Okay! You guys know Alex better than what I do! What is his weakness?!
Speedy: Well he does have an allergic reaction to Peanuts. Though that would only make things worse.
Juan: How so?
Cathy: He gets laser vision.
Proskar: Eat up my Minotaur.
(The Minotaur eats an entire thing of peanuts.)
Danny: OH NOT GOOD!
Juan: Anything else he's weak to?
Chris: Well he doesn't take feathers very well.
Juan: Well where are we going to find feathers in a place like this?
(Pan over to a chariot with conveniently placed feathers. Danny picks up a piece of robe & directs towards the cart.)
Danny: Heyo Toro Toro!
(The Minotaur charges at Danny)
Danny: Ole.
(The Minotaur's laser vision kicks in breaking the chariot causing feathers to fly everywhere & reveal a Cyan colored gem on its back.)
Speedy: I got this one.
(Speedy grabs the gem, transforming Alex back to normal & to fall onto the ground)
Alex: Woah woah woah, oof! (He lands in the dirt face first) (Face in the dirt) Mhiff Haff Mghuu muhnn muu Dghh (This has not been my day).
Juan: Is it me or does this guy have a thing for transforming people into other entities?
Alex: I don't know but whatever it is we need to do something to stop him. For all we know he could've trapped the entirety of Singletown in this place.
Proskar: Round 2: Completed. Time for the final.. Death.. Round!
(Then the MBC appeared in a giant pinball game. Proskar appeared as a giant.)
All: DEATH ROUND!?
Proskar: Time to play it in my own games!
Franky: I wont let you do this!
(Franky bites Proskar on the arm. Which Proskar just laughs it off.)
Proskar: That's cute you know that? (He then grabs Franky) But that is against the rules.
(Proskar drops Franky into a cage.)
Cathy: Franky!
Franky: I'll be fine just find a way to stop him.
(Some Pinballs end up rolling in with Yellow & Magenta gems to them.)
Speedy: Oh no!
Chris: That can't be Sam & Paige.
Sam: (inside the pinball) Help!
Proskar: Let's play ball! (rolls dice which end up as snake eyes) Oooh.. Bad luck! Run!
(Sam & Paige end up rolling towards them but are fortunately dodged.)
Alex: Hey by any chance did we keep track of where Mark was?
Mark (inside a pinball): HGAGHDGHFDGAHSGAHfashgFGGAHGHFGH!
Juan: Oh not him too. (The pinballs ran to them, but Juan grabbed a giant bat.) I'm sorry, guys...
(He whacks the pinballs till they popped. Mark is knocked unconscious.)
Proskar: Hey! Not fair!
Juan: Without strategy.. There is no "No Fair" in this game!
(Juan then saw his gadgets on Proskar's head)
Paige: We got to get those gadgets.
Juan: Guys! (Proskar smashed the board, causing an Earthquake. Everyone except Juan ends up disappearing. See a light flash on Juan & then Proskar, juggling the others, captured in the Vac Vader vessels.) Guys!
Proskar: it's your move.
(Proskar then hands Juan some dice.)
All: Don't do it!
(Juan rolls the dice. The dice then are placed on a prefect point.)
Proskar: Wait... What?! No.. No.. No!
(Proskar is sucked into a Vac Vader Vessel & the others are freed. We then return to Chris & Juan playing chess.)
Juan: Checkmate!
Chris: See you're learning.
(Mark enters)
Mark: Hmph.. I can't believe I am saying this but may I play this game of chess? I don't know how to..
Juan: Oh.. I could teach ya..
Mark: Why?
Juan: Cause.. You need Strategy.. Heh.. (Whispers in Chris's Ear) Even when you're trapped in a pinball.
(The two laugh while Mark just looks that them in confusion.)
Mark: I just don't get you guys sometimes.
(Cut to Marathon Logo)
