(Dark Lord Tim looming over Nico)
Nico: (scared) Dunia? Hey, listen to me Dunia. You don't really want to let Tim do this. You can step back so I'm out of his reach.
(Dunia unresponsive)
Tim: Heh heh heh heh, I'd advise you to make a final prayer, but I know you abandoned God.
PAGE 2
Molly: You don't have a butt to kick so I guess I'll have to settle for your head!
(Molly, free, kicks Tim in the head)
(Ke tending to a hurt Rebecca)
Ke: that Hays girl gave you a god thumping. Will you be alright Rebecca?
Rebecca: Nnngh, I think so.
PAGE 3
Marikit: Hamilton, stop playing nursemaid and focus on our fight!
Ke: Oh very well, you foul spellcaster...
(Ke puts up his blunderbuss, it shoots an energy blast which knocks down Old Lace as she was fighting Norvik)
PAGE 4
Automarda: Son of Ultron! Come battle me and we shall see who the strongest robot here is!
(Automarda lunges at Victor)
(Victor uses his magnetism to easily throw around Automarda)
Victor: Some contest.
PAGE 5
Marikit: RUBBER BAND MAN!
(Rubber bands appear and bind Victor)
Marikit: (walking towards a downed Victor) Now you'll never be Victorious...
PAGE 6
(Marikit suddenly gets hit from behind by Gert driving the van)
Gert: (from the drivers seat of the van) Bee beep, you coyotes. I've got a special deilvery for you all...
PAGE 7
(Gib comes out of the van)
Gib: You have foolishly provoked the wrath of Gib!
PAGE 8
(Gib slowly approaches the Throwaways, who are terrified of Gib)
Gib: These young humans are under my sworn eternal protection. The moment you assailed them, you shortened your already brief miserable lives. I am Gib, the last of the Gibborim, I-
PAGE 9
(Dark Lord Tim bites Gib in the arm)
(Gib holds his arm, hurt)
Molly: Gib!
Marikit: The godling is not impervious after all! Slay it!
PAGE 10
Norvick: (attacking Gib with a light blast) I'm not so sure, Marikit. My best moves don't appear to do anything to him.
Nico: Everyone, haul butt to the van!
(Molly picks up Victor and Old Lace, Nico carries Klara)
PAGE 11
(the kids get into the van, Gib is the last one to go in, blocking the Throwaways attacks with his body)
(with everyone in, their van drives off)
PAGE 12
(the Throwaways watch the van drive off)
Tim: No! Don't let those little piggies get away. Not before I slaughtered them!
Marikit: Those brats lucked out once again.
Norvick: No kidding, I'm almost all out of energy.
PAGE 13
Rebecca: So what now Marikit? Are you gonna use some zany spell to bring them back here? Like maybe a "tractor beam" spell that creates a magic shiny tractor?
Marikit: Hmm, that is tempting...but no. We should rest and lick our wounds before facing off with those brats again. Perhaps plan out something more clever and less blunt.
Automarda: (laying down) Self repair protocols initiated...repairs 2.1% complete.
Tim: If I can't savor the blood of the Pride's whelps...
PAGE 14
Tim:...Then I shall irrigate this miserable desert with your blood! (lunges at Marikit)
(Rebecca blocks Tim with a tendril)
Rebecca: Shut up Tim (casually)
PAGE 15
Marikit: Well, since we had us a crummy night why don't we treat ourselves to slurpees at that Circle A in town once Automarda has repaired herself?
Rebecca: Yeah, that would be nice.
Tim: Hmmph (arms crossed)
Automarda: ...Repairs 4% complete.
Norvick: Wouldn't that be nice Dunia? Hey kid, you okay?
(Ke looking at somehting)
PAGE 16
(Ke looks at some tracking device, grins to himself)
Rebecca: Hey Ke, what are you doing?
Ke: (puts away the device) Nothing fam, what's up?
PAGE 17
(the kids driving away in the van across desert landscape)
(shot of them inside the van, Gert driving, Nico in the front seat, Victor getting the rubber bands off of himself, Klara rubbing the back of her head, Gib looking at his arm)
Gert: I'm glad we all got out of there alive.
Victor: Except for Doombot, we have no idea where he got sent off to or how to get him back.
Gert: Cry harder droid boy. I hauled the rest of our carcasses out of there didn't I?
PAGE 18
Nico: It was a shock seeing the Throwaways again. I didn't know that one spell was going to keep them trapped for so long.
Gert: Yet another consequence of your toying around with magic, Nico.
Molly: No, this one is on all of us, we abandoned the Throwaways and forgot about them because so much different stuff was happening afterwards. Yes, we constantly live in the long dark shadows cast by our parents. But for once, it was us who slipped up.
PAGE 19
Nico: And its eerie, in that they're like warped twisted mirror images of ourselves. If things were just a little different, maybe they would be like us and we would be like them.
Gib: Halt this wheeled machine.
Gert: Okay, I'm stopping.
Molly: What is it Gib?
Victor: Are we sure its safe to stop?
PAGE 20
(the van is stopped, Gib steps out)
Nico: What is it Gib?
Gib: The bite from that shadow demon is venomous. Its dark corruption is already spreading through my body.
Nico: Maybe I can help. Some of the first spells I learned were healing ones.
Gib: It will not help.
Gert: Then what will work?
Molly: Just tell us what you need Gib, we can get it for you.
PAGE 21
Gib: There is but one thing that will help. I must return to the chrysalis chamber from which I first awoke from. There I will slumber. And only there I can heal myself from this venom.
Molly: Hey, that's perfectly understandable. I know better than anyone the benefits of a good sleep.
Nico: Do you need us to come with and make sure no one disturbs you?
Gib: This is a journey I must make on my own.
PAGE 22
Molly: Aw, no!
Gert: Come on Gib, can't you stick with us?
Gib: I know this comes at a terrible time for you. Chase and Karolina left. Your home destroyed. The machine man gone.
Victor: You're as blunt as ever, Gib.
Gib: But there is one thing you must know...
PAGE 23
Gib: ...I vow I will return to you as soon as my recovery is complete. But for now, so long and farewell...my friends.
(Gib walks off into the desert, getting smaller and smaller.
