Chase: We're too late! Ultron is already taking Victor apart as we speak!
Molly: Nooo!
Nico: After all this time...
Doombot: Will there be anything left to salvage?
Gert: Guys, hold on! Isn't there something we're forgetting?

(1 hour earlier, inside the pyramid)
Ultron: (carrying a still unconcious Victor) Ah Victor. You were a pathetic failure in your time away from me. But now your loving father is here to shape you up with much needed discipline. (Ultron sets Victor down on a table) Yes, I shall shape you up into a disciplined cyborg swarm that will at last replace the human vermin-hm?
(Ultron notices a flashing light nearby)

(splash page of all the kids coming in on the 4D portico)
Molly: You've been a bad bot! Prepare to have a timeout!
PAGE 4
(Ultron shoots lasers at them, Nico blocks them with a shield spell)
(Chase and Doombot come around firing at Ultron)
(Old Lace runs towards Victor)
PAGE 5
(Old Lace grabs Victor by the collar and drags him to the others while Chase and Doombot are still firing at Ultron)
PAGE 6
Nico: We got Vic back! Now for phase two!
(Klara grows vines around Ultron's legs, Molly tears off a piece of machinery and smashes Ultron hard with it)
PAGE 7
(Ultron is down on the ground)
(Ultron gets back up, pissed)
Ultron: You pitiful, squeaking little rodents!
PAGE 8
(Ultron blasts the 4D portico)
Ultron: You thought you could beat me through infantile bravery?
Nico: Ahh!
Chase: The portico!
Ultron: I've slaughtered entire nations in the past! You pissants have no greater chance of defeating me than a lobster defeating a whale!
Gert: You're right, we can't beat you...
PAGE 9
Gert: But I did make a second trip in time to send a message to one who can/
(stomping noises coming closer)
Ultron: Hmm? What is-
(Gib stomps on Ultron from behind)
PAGE 10
(Ultron is shattered in pieces on the ground, deactivated, Gib looms over)
Gib: Pray tell, was that the correct machine man to crush?
Doombot: As if we all look alike!
Gert: Yes, you did great Gib!
Nico: Everyone, Victor is coming to!
PAGE 11
(Victor stirs, then wakes up)
(Victor looks around, the other kids look at him)
Victor: So now you know, huh?
PAGE 12
Chase: Victor, it was my bad that you even got the Vibranium in the first place.
Nico: We should have watched you more closely and been more supportive.
Victor: That doesn't make me less of a theif and murderer.
Klara: Victor dear, have you forgotten our lord Jesus Christ's teachings on forgiveness?
Gert: We of the non religious persuasion can forgive as well.
PAGE 13
(Victor sits there silently looking glum)
Victor: Vin is never coming back. I felt like I took my first step into villainy and that I needed to die.
Doombot: And just what kind of justice would that have been? There are far more reprehensible murderers who only get life in prison sentences then break out and murder more. But you Victor, have done your utmost to dodge evil's seductive snare. I will not allow you to execute yourslef upon a scaffolding of shame.
Klara: I just don't want to see you die or get beheaded or dissected.
Molly: We've been through so much Victor. Our family wouldn't be the same without you.
PAGE 14
Nico: (puts a hand on Victor's shoulder) Can we please just stop obsessing over the past or the future? Can we just live for today?
(Victor thinks it over, then inhales and exhales deeply and looks up)
Victor: For the first time since my mother died, I truly and wholly feel relieved. Like a big boulder is finally off my shoulders.
PAGE 15
Victor: You guys are the best.
(Victor and all the other kids group hug)
PAGE 16
(Victor glances at the wreckage of the 4D portico)
Victor: So the time machine is now completely kaput?
Gert: Losing that contraption was a fiar price to save you, Vic.
Chase: But it was an incredible lif eline to have around. I don't know if I can build another...
(Doombot and Klara whipser to each other while distanced from the others)
Doombot: Now we can't use it to send Gib to another time like Gert had done with Bo and Rim.
Klara: We'll have to figure out another way to dispose of Gib...
Molly: (comes up) Aw, are you two becoming buddies? How sweet.
Klara: Er, yes, thats right Molly...
PAGE 17
Chase: Come on everyone, lets get to the Jackrabbit before too many jungle parrots poop on it.
(They all start walking out of the pyramid)
Gib: So, this was once a temple dedicated to gods that demanded blood sacrifices? Do you think they were relatives to my own parents?
Gert: Could be, Gib. That would be a fascinating possibility to look into. When Victor and I were studying Gibborim books the language looked somewhat simlar to Mesoamerican hieroglyphics...Hey, I hope you're not getting any ideas.
Gib: Perish the thought.
PAGE 18
(The Jackrabbit flies back to the diner, the kids get out and meet Louisa)
Louisa: Hey, with no staff I was forced to close this place down for the day.
Gert: Apologies, Louisa, but we had an emergency to take care of. Complicated superpowered people stuff that would take all day to explain.
Louisa: Well, you've been pretty dependable workers until today, so I guess I can let it slide. By the way, look who's visiting.
(Ramon comes in)
PAGE 19
Ramon: So you ungrateful little putas left my sister and Abuela defenceless for five hours. A clear violation of our agreement.
Nico: I'm sorry Ramon, but there was a dire situation we had to take care of.
Chase: It was literally a matter of life or death for Victor!
Ramon: Hmph, a likely story, you'd better not have any more of these "situations" or it could be very unhealthy for you.
(Nico, Chase and Gert look at Ramon, concerned)
PAGE 20
Louisa: Oh come off it Ramon! Nothing happened to us.
Ramon: Only because you had the luck of the saints on your side! I have to be tough with all my underlings. I can't just let them do what they want whenever they want.
(Ramon and Louisa argue in the background while Nico and Chase whisper to each other)
Nico: The leash on us is tightening.
Chase: We should think of leaving sometime soon.
PAGE 21
Ramon: Okay, look guys, I'm not entirely heartless, I was going to attend this block party with my girlfriend. You can all come along, I'll pretend you're my security detail. We have fun tonight then the next day you go back to work as usual.
Nico: I don't know...
Molly: Come on Nico, we could all use a nice soft cushy party to unwind with after all that hard intense stuff with Victor and Ultron.
Nico: (smiles) Alright then.
(Later, Louisa, Ramon, his girlfriend and the kids are all coming to the block party)
