Twisted Metal: Cartoon Network

By RS

Darkside: His little boy…a silhouette in his memory

Driver: Mr. Wigglestein
Age: Undeterminable

Epilogue:

(Mr. Wigglestein, driving his silhouetted ice-cream truck, pulls up in front of Calypso. As he steps out, the silhouette on the ice-cream truck once again merges with Mr. Wigglestein, revealing the highly damaged car.)

Mr. Wigglestein: Calypso I take it…

Calypso: It's a pleasure to meet again, "Mr. Wigglestein".

Mr. Wigglestein: Why did you say it like that?

Calypso: You can't hide facts from me, Benedict Uno!

Mr. Wigglestein: So…you know my true identity. If this is so, then you know what I'm after…

Calypso: Not until you tell me, I don't.

Benedict: Very well…let me tell you this much…a long time ago, I was but a happy man, living a life of peace and…family…Do you know what it's like to have a child Calypso?

Calypso: (Pause) I do…

Benedict: Anyway, ever since an incident between my now ex-wife and myself, I've lost contact with my two sons. Eugene I discovered to be safe in the city. Rest assured, I will bring him home soon enough. But James…he's still missing…and she wouldn't tell me where she sent him…

Calypso: But I can…

Benedict: Indeed, you certainly can…you see, my sons are more than just regular children. Right now, they're very fragile, but both of them hold a very important trait from me; my happiness and my anger, my harshness and my cunning, my good and my evil. When we are untied, no one can stop us.

Calypso: Very well, I can only assume what it is you want, but you are the one at liable to make a wish, Mr. Benedict.

Benedict: Indeed, and so it has come to that. Calypso…you, a fellow adult and father, aid me. Tell me…where is James?

Calypso: Are you sure you want to know?

Benedict: Yes, tell me!

Calypso: Perhaps I should show you, instead…

(Calypso snaps his fingers and both he and Benedict are back in the Cul-De-Sac level)

Benedict: I don't understand? What are we doing here?

Calypso: This is where your son resided, (points) In that house.

(Benedict becomes worried because the house has been destroyed due to the Twisted Metal contest)

Benedict: No…no, where is he!

Calypso: Don't worry, he wasn't there when you were battling.

Benedict: Damn it all…Calypso, you will show me where my son is now! (Smoke begins to form around his body)

Calypso: But you already made your wish, I cannot do any more.

Benedict: No I haven't you liar! I never said "I wish". Now I do, Calypso…(holds up Calypso by collar) I wish for you to show me my son!

Calypso: (Sighs) Granted. (Lightning)

(Both he and Calypso are in Dexter's Lab. As Benedict looks around in confusion, Calypso points to what seems to be a broken down and beaten up Tasty-Taste Ice Cream Truck. Benedict walks over, slowly, steadily, his heartbeat becoming louder with each step. He looks into the window.)

Benedict: No…no…

(Benedict sees his son, Jimmy, dead from the game of Twisted Metal in the driver's seat. He steps back.)

Benedict: No…no…I did this…I…James…no…n…NO!!! (A fiery explosion emits all around Benedict that knocks Calypso back slightly. After the fire dies down, Benedict seems almost darker in a way.) There must be a way to bring him back. I demand it!

Calypso: I can't do any more, you've made your wish.

Benedict: You…liar. (Steps towards Calypso)

Calypso: (Laughs) You can't do anything! You'll never get him back that way!

Benedict: So (settles down slightly)…there is a way.

Calypso: (Chuckles) Maybe.

Benedict: Maybe, what do you mean maybe! Tell me, what do I do!

Calypso: You'll find out again, next year.

Benedict: Next year…I see. Calypso…

Calypso: (Turns around)

Benedict: I will see you again, in Twisted Metal. I swear it on Jimmy's grave.

Calypso (narration): I just grinned joyfully and walked away, but before I did, I turned to him once more and said…

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

(Benedict walks over to the remains of the Ice cream truck, and kneels by the window.)

Benedict: I swear, I'll get you back…(looks up and becomes surprised) but…if I didn't know any better…I'd say I already had.

(Inside the driver's seat, Jimmy's body is unexplainably missing.)
