Inception

Inception is the second episode of the first season of AceQuest.
==Transcript==
((The theme song and opening sequence is played. Cut to a title card reading, “Inception”. The episode fades in from black to a distorted purple background that is the inside of the portal transporting our heroes to Lunaris. Ace, Not-Joe, Yuri, SpongeBob, and Greg fly through it one by one. We then cut to the ground of the dimension our heroes are being sent to, covered in dark cyan grass. The camera zooms in further, stopping, as a light blue portal appears. Our heroes fly out of it and land on the ground. Cut to Ace, as he slowly stands up and admires the realm of Lunaris, as “The Soleanna Festival” from Sonic 06 plays in the background.)
Ace: GUYS! We’re here!
(Everyone gets up from the ground and admires the land with Ace, as we see different parts of the incredible landscape.)
Yuri: Beautiful.
Not-Joe: Wait… guys, I think I see something…
(The music stops, as evil robots with rocket boots, red laser eyes, and arm cannons, known as ETAAs [Extra-Terrestrial Attacking Androids] fly over the hills and charge up their arm cannons, ready to fire, surrounding our heroes.)
SpongeBob: Guys, I have an idea.
Ace: Yeah?
SpongeBob: RUN!
(Everyone runs away from the ETAAs, as they are chased by them. They run through the hills, and a forest where Yuri whistles, calling everyone to her as they hide inside a large hole leading underground. SpongeBob reaches for something to cover up the hole, finds a large leafy branch, and covers the hole.)
Yuri: That was a close call.
Ace: I’ll say.
Not-Joe: They’ll never find us here.
Greg: They will if you guys don’t keep quiet.
SpongeBob: Greg’s right. We have to be as, er… undetected by those things as possible!
(A few minutes later…)
Yuri: Guys, I’m going to check if the coast is clear. Stay put.
(Yuri pokes her head out of the hideout, to find a few ETAAs still lurking around.)
Greg: Well? Any sign of anyone?
Yuri: Yes. We must stay put once more.
(Suddenly, an ETAA spies Yuri and gathers more ETAAs. Yuri quickly hides back in the hole.)
Yuri: Shit!
Ace: Goddammit, did they spot us?
Yuri: Yes, they have.
(The ETAAs come to our heroes’ hiding place. They lift the branch and they find them. Everyone shouts in unison as the ETAAs charge their arm cannons.)
Ace: Well, fuck it. We’re dead.
Greg: Getting demolished by Slacksville was better than this shit.
SpongeBob: Guys, enough with the swearing! Do we want our last words to be-
(An explosion is heard. SpongeBob pokes his head out of the hideout, to find someone walking forward. They approach our heroes, and they appear to be a light-blue-skinned man wearing a grey and black leather wizard’s robe and hat, with long snow-white hair forming into a braided ponytail in the back. He floats above the ground, holding a bo staff in his hands.
SpongeBob: HOLY SHIT!
???: Calm yourself, yellow one. I have no intention to harm you or your surrounding peers.
Yuri: W-who are you?
Aerin: I am Aerin. Those robots you just saw are ETAAs. Extra-Terrestrial Attacking Androids. They were made by an evil being who took over this realm.
Greg: Uh… what do you do here?
Aerin: I used to be the warlock and guardian of this realm, until… the prophecy came. 
Not-Joe: Hey, speaking of which, we read a prophecy earlier today. In… our dimension.
Aerin: Really? YES! Er… what was the prophecy?
Ace: *Ahem* Far into the future years of life, known as 2022 for the planet Earth, our realm, Voccasia, to be known in the future as Lunaris, will perish. But one being, fought against the evil forces that will plague our land, shall thrive. He will bring along 4 of his best acquaintances on this momentous occasion, who will help him on his long and perilous adventu-AAGGHH!
Aerin: A-and who is this being and his acquaintances?
Greg: You’re looking at them.
Aerin: Yes! I knew the prophecy was real! You legends are going to save this realm!
Ace: Heh… I guess we are.
Not-Joe: Well, uh, here we go.
SpongeBob: Hehe, yep.
(Everyone walks away back to the hills)
Aerin: WAIT! You can’t go back just yet! You need protection.
(Silence)
Yuri: …what?
Aerin: Armor! Weapons… stuff.
Yuri: Oh.
Ace: Guys, c’mon!
(Everyone runs back to the woods in front of Aerin. His eyes glow in a cyan color as he lifts his arms up in the air, as stone armor appears floating above one hand and a ruby sword combined with a crossbow floating above the other [This repeats for all supplies our heroes receive].)
Aerin: For you, blue-haired one… actually, what are all your names?
Ace: I… (he steps forward) am Ace.
Not-Joe: The name’s Not-Joe. Not “Joe”. “Not-Joe”.
Aerin: Uhhh… I see.
Yuri: Yuri Kuroyanagi, (she bows) at your service.
SpongeBob: SpongeBob SquarePants, (he salutes) fry cook extraordinaire!
Greg: Heffley. Greg Heffley.
Aerin: Cool. Anyways, for you, Ace, polished stone armor, worn by Anemos, Knight of the Wind, and his crosslicer, the average sword combined with the average crossbow built from ruby.
Ace: Cool! (He takes the supplies)
Aerin: For you, Jo-
Not-Joe: NOT-Joe. (he crosses his arms) Remember, generic fantasy MMORPG elf guy?
Aerin: Right. For you, my old, vintage, heavy red leather jacket, and the Ōdachi Sword, once wielded by a teenage… mutant… ninja turtle. Huh, what a world.
Not-Joe: Thanks, man. (He takes the supplies)
Aerin: For you, Yuri, the magical purple kimono worn by Princess Ryo, and the legendary Penfury, a sword with a retractable blade.
Yuri: (She takes the supplies. She admires the Penfury.) Hmm… (She pushes a button on the back, and a blade pops up. She smiles evilly.) Yes, I like this new weapon.
Aerin: For you, SpongeBob, Square of Pants, a heavy leather snow-white chef’s jacket worn by the wonderful Chef Oridove, and the Hydro-dynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo drive. Made from gold.
SpongeBob: Oooh! (He takes the supplies)
Aerin: For you, Gregory, a robotic suit with a built-in arm cannon capable of shooting different projectiles.
Greg: Thanks.
Aerin: Well, my friends, it’s time. You may embark on your quest.
Ace: Hell yeah guys, let’s GO!
(Everyone cheers as they march toward the hills.)
Aerin: Yep, those are the people who are going to fulfill the prophecy. They’re the beings who will protect… not only the realm… our very lives…
(Silence)
Aerin: Oh god.
(Meanwhile, the team is marching across the hills while SpongeBob sings.)
SpongeBob: Ohhh, we’re off to fulfill the prophecy, we’re off to fulfill the prophecy, I can’t think of anything that rhymes with prophecy, so I’m ending this brand-new tune!
Ace: Uh oh, here comes trouble.
Yuri: Hm?
(A giant ETAA jumps over a hill in the distance and lands in front of our heroes.)
SpongeBob: AGH!
Not-Joe: Well, you can say that again, Ace.
Ace: Uh oh, here comes trouble.
SpongeBob: Sooo… we have to fight this thing?
Greg: It’s only one of them, how hard could it be?
ETAA #1: PREPARE TO BE DOMINATED.
Greg: Yeah? You and what army?
(The team prepares for battle, but an entire army of ETAAs fly through the hills from the distance, who surround our heroes.)
Greg: Oh… crap.
Ace: Never ask that question, Greg.
(End)
