Twisted Metal: Cartoon Network

By RS

Junkyard Dog: Sisters in love…but horror awaits them

Driver: Lee Kanker, Marie Kanker, and May Kanker
Age: 17/17/17

Epilogue:

Calypso (narration): It was time…

May (narration): This was it…

Calypso/May (narration): Time for it all to be finished.

(The Kankers trailer pulls up in front of Calypso and one by one the sisters emerge, Lee, Marie, and May. They walk over, facing down Calypso, his smile wide)

May

Calypso: The Kanker Sisters, how exquisite. You have won Twisted Metal, and therefore you each receive one wish. Whom shall it be first?

(Lee and Marie turn their heads. May steps forward)

May (narration): Stepping up there was so hard to do; the weight of my sisters on my shoulders. It also felt like it was going to rain.

Calypso: May Kanker, the sweet one, what is it you desire my dear?

May: Calypso (looks back at her sisters, turns back) I have made a grave mistake in my past that I would like to fix…(looks at Marie, turns back) I was hoping you could help me out with that?

Calypso: Certainly, what is it?

May: …Well…I…I…(looks at Marie, tears up) I wish I never fell in love with Double-D…

Calypso: Very well…(May still looking at Marie) your wish is-

May: WAIT!! I change my mind!

(Lee and Marie look over to her, Calypso stops and looks at her)

May: I'm going to stay true to what I feel in my heart, and no sister of mine will tell me otherwise! Calypso, I wish…

(Lee and Marie glare at her as Calypso awaits smiling)

May: That Double-D loved ME!!!

Marie: NO!!

Calypso: Your wish is granted my dear!! (Lightning)

Marie

(May turns to look at her sisters)

May: I'm sorry, but I love him, and you can't change that…

Marie: (Infuriated) No! We made a deal! We all did!! When we first moved there, we all chose our boyfriends and agreed to leave it like that! That we wouldn't go after the other's man! You chose Ed! You chose him, not Double-D! Double-D is mine! He's-

May: Marie, please…you have to understand. I couldn't wish away my love because that's not what I want, and now Double-D loves me. I'm sorry, but you gave me no other options.

Marie: What about Ed?

May: He's sweet, but…he's not the man I care for most. You have to understand.

Marie: Oh, I understand just fine! I understand that I gave you a second chance and you stabbed me in the back! Well, now it's MY turn! (Pushes May aside) Calypso!

Calypso: (Smiles) Yes Marie?

May: What are you going to do?

Marie: Calypso…I wish May was gone!

(May's expression becomes that of utter shock. Lee seems unchanged about the matter)

Calypso: (Lightning) Your wish…is granted. (Chuckles)

Marie: There…now tell me, how can Double-D love someone who's no longer here.

Lee

(Marie gets on her knees and laughs at her triumph, her laughs then slowly turn into sobs)

Marie: (Sobbing) What have I done…what have I done…(continues to cry)

(Lee steps forward to face Calypso as Marie runs crying into the trailer)

Calypso: Lee Kanker…the eldest of the Kanker sisters and the only one left to make a wish. Your sisters have destroyed each other and now you are the last one left to do anything about it.

Lee: …

Calypso: I suppose I should just let you know, there's no use in wishing for any affections from any boys you like. The Eds that your sisters were talking about were killed in the contest by yourselves. Double-D still loves May, but they're both dead. Same goes to Ed and Eddy. If you are anything like your sisters, you have something related to them, well?

Lee: …

Calypso: (becomes serious) What is on your mind, Lee Kanker?

Lee: …I know that the Eds are dead. I know I'm the only one left to make a wish. I know what's happened here today. Now Calypso, you know something…

(Calypso looks at her crossed)

Lee: I'm the oldest, and as the oldest I take care of my sisters. You want to know my wish?

Calypso: Certainly.

Lee: Well, here it is…

(A few seconds of silence go by)

Lee: Calypso…(he looks at her) I wish that the Eds were alive. I wish that May was still here with us, alive as well. I wish that we were all back in Peach Creek. I wish that Marie understood May's feelings. I wish they both find happiness along with the Eds. I wish all that, and…

(Calypso gives her a very serious look)

Lee: I wish for no twists in my words whatsoever.

Calypso: (smiles) You're good, Lee Kanker. (Electricity begins sprouting from Calypso's fingertips) Maybe one day, if you play your cards right, you'll head Twisted Metal.

Lee: (smiles) I can only hope.

Calypso: (The electricity intensifies) What about you and that other Ed kid?

Lee: We'll be together again in Peach Creek. I know he'll come around, I mean, he's still just a kid right now. Oh, and also, make it so that none of us ever need to move out of Peach Creek.

Calypso: (smiles) Very well. Good luck, Lee. Say hello to your father for me.

Lee: Will do.

Calypso: Lee Kanker, your wish…is granted! (Lightning)

(Calypso stands alone looking out at the wreckage of his tournament and smiles)

Calypso: Sigh…she's one of a few. One of a few.

I Am Calypso, And I Thank You For Playing Twisted Metal
