Final Destination/Transcript

## Act I

* [We begin with a black screen. Booker’s voice begins narrating.]
* **Booker**: (Narrating.) Along with stupidity and most of our universe, the existence of change is inevitable. It can be good, it can be bad, for change is subjective. Change comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, forms. Small changes may occur, like the transition from heat to rain. More substantial changes are also on the menu, like ice ages. We can make a change, too. And while change is subjective, sometimes you have to ask yourself why it exists. And if you can’t come up with a sufficient answer, perhaps it’s time to reverse it.
* [The Morphers: Final Destination logo appears over a stormy sky. We fly in to an exterior shot of Morphemburg. Helicopters fly around, as a steam engine drives in.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) There it was... Morphemburg, my hood. A city of beautiful living color. A land of Morphing, for Morphing.
* [Cut to the steam engine moving across the city.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) There was a time when Morphers would Morph at the drop of a wheel.
* [The steam engine drives past a station. In the station, we see Gamow and Herts meeting each other at the corner of a street.]
* **Gamow**: Hello there! I love that lederhosen you’re wearing!
* **Herts**: Thank you! I appreciate that you’re wearing a necktie.
* **Both**: (As Gammo pulls out a Morpher Wheel.) Let’s Morph!
* [The two touch the Morpher Wheel, forming the Gamow & Herts Morph.]
* **Gamow & Herts Morph:** Heck yeah! (Strides away.)
* [Cut to a highway over a tarn, with vehicles driving through and Morphimals in the water.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) The metropolis was colored and warm, and shining with potential for a variety of Morphs. From its breathtaAutocrat skyline and streets, to the attractive tourist traps of quaint Morphemburg port…
* [A tram drove by a Glenward Cortez is parked by the Ocean’s Bitch, as Sky waits outside of the door, and ducks back in as Glenn, Torsten, Ted, Florence, Kristian, Vanessa, Tess, and Vincent crowd around and run inside. Cut to a Pirate sitting on a chest next to a flag with a Jolly Rodger on it and a billboard of pirate images.]
* **Sky:** Ahoy, scaly-wags 'n strumpets! Ye should Morph wit' a real scurvy pirate, arr!
* **Fiona:** (Flying in, holding a Morpher Wheel.) Ooh, I want a selfie!
* **Sky:** Say ”booty”!
* [Fiona pulls out her smartphone, while Sky grabs onto the Morpher Wheel. The two Morph together, forming the Sky and Fiona Morph.]
* **Sky & Fiona Morph:** (In Sky’s voice.) Shiver me timbers! (Selfie is taken.)
* [Cut to the exterior of Morphemburg Clinic.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) To Morphemburg Clinic and its top-notch medical treatment…
* [Cut to Suresha surrounded by two nurses and Tunney. They are around Krock, who is sitting on a hospital bed and dying.]
* **Suresha:** Don’t worry, dear Krock. This can only be an improvement. (Krock is hit with a baseball bat.) Head. (Tunney hands him a decapitated head, which he sets down on the bed.) Wheel. (One of the nurses hands him a Morpher Wheel, which he sets down onto Krock.) We‘re clear.
* [The Morph forms, as Krock yells, and rises up in a daze, now with twelve faces.]
* **Suresha:** Nurses, please hand me the mirror.
* [One of the nurses gives Krock the mirror, which he looks at.]
* **Krock:** Aah! KILL ME!
* [Cut to the exterior of Morphemburg stadium.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) To the ruthless rugby games of Morphemburg Arena…
* [Cut to the Referee tooting a whistle. Zoom out to two teams, one made of Flemings, the other of Frosts.]
* **Krish:** Sic ‘em!
* [The Frosts crush the first row of Fleming’s, while a Morpher Wheel is tossed to the last row, who form the Fleming Merph, which devours the entirety of the Frost team. Cut to the steeets of Morphemburg, where Morphers are crossing over sidewalks and vehicles are speeding across.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) Morphemburg was my city, and I thought it would stay that way forever. What happened, you ask? We‘ll get to that soon.
* [Cut to a lineup of Morphers in front of an “NND” store. Norphers with jet packs in James Charles and Billie Eilish cosplays ride past.]
* **Booker:** (Narrating.) Most Morphers in the metropolis were in line, willing to exchange their tried and true colored Morpher Wheels for the Supreme, Gucci NND wheels.
* [Static feed to Morphers News Network reporting, as Morphers walk behind Scully.]
* **Scully:** Hello Internet! This is Killer Scully, your newsman on the road. Now, let’s get right into the news! You, monsieur! (Walks towards Berold.) Why in God’s name are you trading color for monochrome?
* **Berold:** I‘m colorblind. How do I know if the Wheel is for Ingrids or Glenward Cortezes?
* **Scully:** Has it occurred to you that you are neither of those?
* **Berold:** ...screw you.
* [Cut to Ted.]
* **Ted:** It is t-t-t-totally relevant!
* [Cut to Scully.]
* **Screeno:** What about actually Morphing, you know?
* [Cut to Brogio in a wheelchair, covered in casts and bandages.]
* **Brogio:** (Talking via a next to speech voice) Bitch, do you see the condition I’m in?
* [Cut to Florence Ingrid.]
* **Florence:** Morphing is so last year.
* [Cut to Zak.]
* **Zak:** Morphing is too risky. You know what I (electrocutes self) mean, no?
* [Cut to Scully.]
* **Scully:** So, people hate Morphing and stuff now. This is Scully, signing out.
* [Static feed. We cut to the back of the line, with Booker, Zabe, the third one, and Scotto strolling over. Booker is holding a rainbow Morpher Wheel.]
* **Booker:** ‘scuse me, why in the Sam hell is everybody waiting in line?
* **Insane Morpher:** We are going to exchange our stupid old Morpher Wheels for the brand new NND Wheels! (Suddenly satanic-sounding.) I have been in line for a twenty-four hours, infidels. (Switches back to normal, his eyes darting in various directions.) Hey, kid, got any pills I can pop?
* **Booker:** Twenty-four hours? Listen here, Looney Toon, that’s an entire DAY.
* **Insane Morpher:** One day is a short enough timespan, if an NND Wheel is promised.
* **Booker:** (Looks across the line.) Actually, no, it isn’t.
* [Cut to Fritz walAutocrat into the building, with a Morpher Wheel. An ”elevator ding” plays and he walks out of the building with an NND Wheel.]
* **Fritz:** I got the new NND Wheel! I got the new NND! (The NND Wheel catches on fire, as Fritz yells and his color fades.) Norph…Norph…Norph…Norph... (Walks away, confused.)
* [Cut back to the children.]
* **Zabe:** Hey, how about we trade in our Morpher Wheel!
* **The Third One:** Heck yeah, this new one is probably better.
* **Scotto:** It’s worth the wait, Booker!
* **Booker:** Grow up! The Yakuza wouldn't give up their orange and gray for some r\*tarded tech craze! Besides, what kind of cretin wants to live in a world of just black and white?
* **Booker:** (Narrating) Perhaps the exact side-effects didn’t seem too different to the Morphers. After all, they did believe the Norphers were gone for good. Manipulative advertising points about pollution and other liberalism, and NND had the population convinced. Even my parents gave into it!
* [We cut to Booker eating dinner at home, with Glender and Drio on either side of the table.]
* **Booker:** So, uh... I don’t know how to word this. Okay, fine, the NND corporation is BS!
* **Drio:** No, it is not, Booker. I know you don’t like change, but you gotta realize they’re doing this for the better.
* **Booker:** So, you’re in on the lies, too?
* **Glender:** I dunno, Booker, NND has backed up their claim that all this color is unsustainable. They’ve backed it up pretty dang well.
* **Booker:** How can color be considered unsustainable? It’s just reflected light. You know what’s unsustainable? Removing joy from the Morpher population, fading their color and turning them into NPCs.
* **Drio:** So, you think you’re a wise guy because you’re a rebel, see? Well, I ain’t buyin’ it. We can get joy without radioactive colors, and by God, I‘ll let NND thrive!
* **Booker:** If your perception of reality is so great than pop quiz: how did two guys give birth to me?
* **Glender:** I'm... FTM?
* **Booker:** What's to say you're F? What's to say you're M? Are there even gendered traits to begin with?
* **Drio:** Sit down and calm down, wise guy.
* **Booker:** You know what? No, I won't. Either there are no TransMorphers or we're all them; we don't have what that Hot Screaming Shower guy did when we come into this world... on that note, how do we exist?
* **Glender:** Dude, we were just having Hamanossi a minute ago.
* **Booker:** Yeah, it's real goddamn enticing when I don't even know how I got MY meat!
* **Drio:** Booker...
* [Booker throws his plate at the wall and shatters it before getting up and stomping off, opening and slamming the door with a picture frame falling each time. *Cut to Florence and Fiona walking outside the Molten Rocker and Suited Strip Club, respectively.]*
* **Florence:** Okay, Fiona, I cannot wait until we Morph again.
* **Fiona:** You the boss, Florence.
* *[Suddenly the colors of the background disappear in a sweep, as Florence is infuriated and Fiona is shocked.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* Some said it was a slow process…
* **Florence:** Are you freaking kidding me? Morph with a frozen stiffie like you?! Bitch, please!
* **Fiona:** You have no right to talk, hot mess! *(Shakes her butt at Florence, mocking her. Florence poops a fireball at her butt, burning it off and causing her to cry in agony and run off.)*
* **Florence:** *(Laughs, walking off, wiping feces off of her hands.)*
* *[Cut to Cumen walking along the sidewalk.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* Morphers were not being courteous to each other, they were afraid to, you know, coexist.
* *[Pho walks up to Cumen, who points at him.]*
* **Cumen:** Hey, do not stare at me! *(Pho runs off as Li comes up on the other side of him.)* What're you looking at, hoe? *(Li scampers off, whimpering.)*
* *[Cut to V nervously sitting on a hospital bed.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* Suddenly, Morphing suddenly became a social taboo...
* *[Tunney walks in, holding a vacuum and surgical scissors, with Suresha following.]*
* **Tunney:** Open wide! *(Tunney crawls between V's legs, grabbing at a fetus.)*
* **Booger:** *(Narrating.)* Like getting a third trimester!
* *[Tunney fully goes into V's crotch, as he struggles and jumps out of it, holding a fetus in the vacuum as V sits dazed and walks away.]*
* **V:** *(Dazed, standing up.)* Well, it's better than Morphing! *(Falls off of the bed and smashes her brain on the floor.)*
* *[Cut to Morphemburg's skyline, as it goes monochrome.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* Even the color was sucked out of the city…
* *[Pull out to the cityscape on a TV that S is watching. He changes the channel to Scully.]*
* **Scully:** Society is hopeless, the weather is monochrome with interspersed desaturated and beige highlights...
* *[Cut to the news studio. Cameron and Mike are recording Scully, with K in front of Scully. His words show up as Scully says them.]*
* **Scully:** okay, what? Who the hell writes this crap? This is so sad and cobwebbed, what happened to those wholesome, flamboyant tales we once told?
* **Mike:** I didn’t find the Hot Screaming Shower incident particularly wholesome.
* *[Cut to the skyline of Morphemburg.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* I don't know how to elaborate, it seemed… super hopeless… but I knew there was someone who would clean this city from the inside…
* *[The skyline disappears into a manga style with the silhouettes of the Yakuza on a skyscraper. Cut to a panel of them standing on the building and another of the facade of bank getting exploded to concrete chunks and rebar, Brogio and Purcell speeding out of it, laughing and toting sacks of cash.]*
* ♪Ay, oh, yakuza go!♪
* ♪Watashitachiha kōbu squeegee No ikimasu sukīji o seisei Myron!♪ (**Cobain:** Gotcha, bitch!)
* ♪Tide Pod o shiyō shite imasu!♪ (**Spenser:** Oh hell yeah!)
* ♪Let’s kick butt♪ (**Myron:** Chi flows through all, Until we come back, every Morpher must protect their race.)
* **Cobain:** With hue!
* **Spinza:** Nation!
* **Myron:** And Morphing!
* **Yakuza:** Merph!
* *[The three of them grab onto a Morpher Wheel, fusing into the Yakuza Merph, which snaps Purcell neck in his hand as Brogio runs away, crying. Cut to the manga being read by Booker as Zabe, Blip, and Scotto are circled around him.]*
* **Booker:** And with that, the Yakuza faded into the night.
* **Scotto:** Aww, heck yeah, that is quality.
* **Blip:** But where did they leave to?
* **Booker:** What matters it that they will return... cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.
* **Zabe:** Dude, don't even make me THINK of that. [Vomits] Besides, you know they are fake, right, dude? The Yakuza are just manga heroes.
* **Booker:** Shut up! Do you want them to hear that blasphemy? All they did is just… leave, you know, to enlighten themselves and build up chi.
* *[Cut to outside a vending machine, where a Munch is hitting a button as a fly comes out, upon which he beats the machine and shatters the button panel as it swings open like a door, with Booker holding two beers and running off, the others tailing him.]*
* **Booker:** *(Opening a beer with his mouth.)* Even Yakuza need me-time, lest they have a PTSD attack.
* **Munch:** *(Furiously.)* Hey, Asperger, that is MY beer!
* *[Wipe to Spenser in a hangover, sleeping in his drool and vomit.]*
* **Spenser:** Ugh... goddamn needles...
* *[Spenser's car is being dismantled by criminals with tools.]*
* **Spenser:** Look, I'll give you exact change if you forget it.
* **Criminal:** Up yours.
* *[Spenser gets blasted by a shotgun but his armor causes the slugs to ricochet off of him; angered, Spenser grabs a bottle of sake, smashes it onto the ground and holds it up to one of the criminals' throats.]*
* **Criminal:** Like you'd do it, Autocrat Kong ping pong bing bong chopstick ass.
* *[Spenser slashes his throat before trying to cut another criminal with the broken glass. In the struggle, he accidentally steps on the shotgun's trigger and causes it to shoot his car's door off. Livid, Spenser unsheathes his katanas and slashes his target's arm off as he screams in pain before decapitating another and cutting the last one in half as he tries to flee. Booker, watching from a distance, films the attack on his smartphone, only for it to get shot to bits by Spenser, who has gotten ahold of the shotgun.]*
* **Spenser:** I'd be nobody's hero if they saw this.
* *[Spenser races into the night and vanishes in the fog before cutting back to Booker, who sighs.]*
* **Booker:** If that was insured, you'd sure as hell be my hero. *[Scotto and Zabe walk up to him.]* Holy crap, did you see that?
* **Scotto:** The mutilated corpses? Yeah, what in God's name happened here?
* **Booker:** Spenser took a dump in their dumb asses, I told you the Yakuza are real!
* **Zabe:** If the Yakuza weren't fiction, this wouldn't be where they'd be right now.
* **Booker:** Where else would they have to go?
* *[Cut to an accomodation tower, where one of the windows explodes into fire. Cut to Morphers looAutocrat up at it in horror as the four children run toward the skyscraper.]*
* *[Cut to a child in one of the apartment, screaming in horror. Cut to her mother on the road.]*
* **Winfred:** Pogchamp! *(Weakens and has a seizure.)*
* *[Static feed cut to the Newmans.]*
* **Scully:** A terrorist bombing at this apartment tower has killed countless Morphers and Morph Cats *[montage of burned corpses]* and the life of one poor young girl remains at risk after she was left behind in the hurry to escape.
* *[Cut to two silhouettes sitting on a bench, evilly laughing at the sight. Cut to the children going through the crowd to get to the front.]*
* **Booker:** Jesus, that is horrifying! Did the Norphers do this?
* *[Cut to the girl crying in horror before cutting to the Morphemburg Fire Department as the Fire Chief runs in, holding a Morpher Wheel.]*
* **Fire Chief:** Use this Morpher Wheel to Merph and rescue that poor little girl, pronto!
* **Aquarius:** A Morpher Wheel? You gotta be shitting me.
* **Splat:** Morpher Wheels are dead tech, captain!
* *[The Morphemburg Fire Department laughs fakely.]*
* **Hydron:** I would kill myself before I Morphed with these idiots!
* **Aquarius:** I will kill you first!
* **Splat:** #MeToo!
* *[Cut to the group of silhouettes at the bench, still evilly laughing. Cut to the little girl, still screaming in horror, before cutting back to Booker.]*
* **Booker:** This isn't a grill, Yakuza!
* *[Cut to Kueffner pushing and shoving into the crowd, as they back up.]*
* **Kueffner:** It's going down any second now!
* **Booker:** Come the hell on, dudes!
* *[Booker and the others speed away before cutting back to the little girl, shrieking in horror and having an anxiety attack. An explosion of fire blasts behind her, setting her on fire and causing her to leap through the window, smashing it and cutting herself. Cut to the girl falling as Winfred pulls out a pistol and aims it at her head. Cut back to the crowd, who wince as the sounds of the girl's body smashing into the street and Winfred shooting herself blare out. Cut to the Morphemburg Fire Department, still arguing, as the Fire Chief throws the Morpher Wheel in the trash out of rage.]*
* **Aquarius:** I'm not r\*tarded enough to Morph with you! I fly better alone!
* **Splat:** You guys are moist and damp and I'm not so I hate that!
* *[The skyscraper collapses into soot and burned debris, as the Morphemburg Fire Department turn to face it.]*
* **Morphemburg Fire Department:** The hell?
* *[Cut back to the Morphemburg Fire Department]*
* **Aquarisu:** Anyways, as I was saying, teamwork never makes the dream work!
* *[Cut to the Yakuza.]*
* **Myron:** A cultist is cannibalizing this metropolis’ will to Morph.
* **Cobain**: Yeah, but who the hell is he?
* **Myron:** The writing is on the walls…
* *[Cut to the children staring at graffiti.]*
* **Booker:** Oh, come on, it’s 2019, why are people still using that word?
* *[Cut to a large group of Norphers laughing on the bench. Cut back to Booker.]*
* **Booker:** Deja vu...
* *[Pan up the building, where the Nindjas are on the ledge.]*
* **Spenser:** Hey, what the hell is up with those scumbags?
* **Cobain:** Hmm, they answer to "Norpher."
* **Myron:** Norphers? I recall that title.
* *[Myron forms an aura orb, which wafts out into the air as many pictures of Norphers are shown, which he slides through.]*
* **Myron:** Ah, here we are, Norphers. Not alien to us now, but that fueled our battle. *(Myron stops at a picture of the Yakuza Merph and Autocrat Norpher holding guns on each other)* What brings the Autocrat Norpher to Morphemburg?
* *[Wipe to a sizable black office tower in Morphemburg.]*
* **Major Norpher:** *(Offscreen, laughing.)* I'm thrilled, Your Heious Anusness!
* *[Cut to the interior of the skyscraper, where Major Norpher is entering via an elevator door, walAutocrat towards Autocrat Norpher.]*
* **Major Norpher:** Our Norphers lie in wait at every nook and cranny of the metropolis! *(Trips and falls on his face, smashing his head, teeth, and eyes before rising back up and fixing them.)*
* **Autocrat Norpher:** I have had wet dreams of this moment ever since my Norpher hunters located Morphemburg! That glimmering Pleasantville of strobe lights and Morphing!
* *[Fade to a collapsing black wall rising around Morphemburg, where many Norphers run out of. Fade back to Autocrat Norpher, steaming as his eyes bleed red.]*
* **Autocrat Norpher:** At first I was hell bent on razing Morphemburg and killing them all! But then, I decided, I shall make the Morpher metropolis mine!
* **Major Norpher:** But how will you succeed, Your Shagness?
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Through a fiendish method I dub “peer pressure”!
* *[Cut to the window of the skyscraper, where Autocrat Norpher and Major Norpher look down from.]*
* **Autocrat Norpher:** We will give them a product any Morpher is a sissy without!
* *[Cut to a poster of the NND Wheel, where a Morpher is holding two of the Morpher Wheels.]*
* **Autocrat Norpher:** The NND Wheel! Not unlike the Morpher Wheel, across the board. *(The poster turns into a dismembered, decapitated Morpher with maimed eyes, still holding the Morpher Wheels. The text “because… Morphing gets UGLY” is on the poster.)* Where the Morpher Wheel promotes war, our NND Wheel promotes harmonious reconstruction, upon which every Morpher will need one!
* **Major Norpher:** Brilliant, Your Ejaculance!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** But above all else, we have to force them to dump out their ancient, colorful Morpher Wheels.
* **Major Norpher:** Double time! *(Rushes off like Sonic.)*
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Destroy all of the Morpher Wheels in Morphemburg and then some!
* *[Fade to black before wiping on Autocrat Norpher sleeping in a donut box as Major Norpher strolls out of the elevator into the hall of the NND skyscraper.]*
* **Major Norpher:** They have lined up in drones to trade their Morpher Wheels for the NND Wheel! It has kidnapped the hue and saturation of their rainbow!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** *[Wakes up and screams with a half-eaten donut on his ear]* Gah! I wasn't sleeping! What of the Morpher Wheels, Major?
* **Major Norpher:** Allow me to show you where we are right over here at the great spreadsceen!
* *[The two walk up to a sizable monitor with statistics on it.]*
* **Major Norpher:** Ooh, we are at 99.999%, Yaaas Queen!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Exceptional! We are armed and prepped for phase dos!
* **Major Norpher:** Oh, but that is the thing, Your Heinous Anusness. One intact Morpher Wheel would cap the whole shindig with a Glock, mah-!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Nonsense, Major! One mere Morpher Wheel is meager in the face of my armed assault. Off with you!
* **Major Norpher:** *(Running off.)* Triple time!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Let the bloodbath begin! *(Laughs maniacally as the camera whip pans out of the window.)*
* *[The whip pan continues into the roads of Morphemburg being overrun by Norphers, as the Morphers escape in sheer horror, one getting overrun]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* And like that, anarchy reigned in Morphemburg, as the populus, losing the will to Morph, were instantly eaten by the endless swarms of those small, aberrant cannibals.
* *[Cut to Sly getting bitten by Norphers latched onto his throat as he runs in a panic. Nor-Man runs past, also getting pursued by Norphers. A background Morpher tries to run but is assaulted by a horde of Norphers that overrun them in a clawing and bitting frenzy, zombifying the Morpher.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* Morphers, already handicapped without the desire to Morph, to live, became a black and white undead.
* *[Cut to the skyline of Morphemburg, which disappears into black and white.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* It was horrifying, the flamboyant soul of my once gleaming metropolis strung by the intestines and eaten alive…
* *[Cut to an alleyway where Booker finds one of the Norphed Morphers and has a panic attack. Finding a meat cleaver in a nearby trash bag, he proceeds to slice through the stomach of the Norpher zombie, before running away. Upon reaching a seemingly abandoned building, Booker uses a flipphone to start a teleconference with Zabe, Bligh, and Scotto.]*
* **Booker:** Zombie cannibal things have infested the city, we have to kill everyone!
* **Zabe:** Dude, we are not gonna kill everyone in this city!
* **Booker:** Look, just come out and meet me at the alley between the NND Tower and what was the apartment complex, be careful.
* *[Zabe, Bligh, and Scotto running down the sidewalk, armed with pencils and beer bottles, as two Morphers stroll past them.]*
* **Booker:** Holy Morpher balls, look at that!
* *[Cut to a horde of Norphers lunging and shrieking in.]*
* **Booker:** We are being colonized by bearded immigrants, we have to hide!
* *[The four of them duck into the alley and hide behind cardboard packages as the Norphers rush above them. A pickup truck fully stocked with NND gadgets speeds away, with the Norphers following suit.]*
* **Zabe:** Hey, what the heck are those strange, vampire midgets doing?
* *[Cut to the Norphers unloading the gadgets.]*
* **Scotto:** Dude, they are unloading kegs of the Morphing spirit they sucked out of the Morpher Wheels.
* *[Cut back to the children.]*
* **Booker:** *(Gasps.)* Son of a gun, that is it, I knew I had seen their zealous asses before! Issue 68 of Taiko no Yakuza, there was this malicious autocrat with a million henchmen named Norphers that he invaded the planet with! They despise everything with even a tangential link to color and Morphing.
* **Scotto:** ...and the Yakuza?
* **Booker:** What do I look, God? It is in issue 69! I didn't get that issue, it is a collector's item, damn near impossible to find. We gotta kill these fools!
* **Zabe:** Yeah, because we're amazing at that.
* *[Cut to the children sneaking through the alley and stopping at a pallet of cardboard packages.]*
* **Booker:** Look, the Yakuza!
* *[Everyone but Booker looks away as he reaches for a Glock and hides it in his sock.]*

## Act II

* *[Video feed cut to Scully. Norphers and Morphers run around the background.]*
* **Scully:** Morphemburg is being colonized by these aberrant, chauvinist little monsters who see things in monochrome. Oh, the humanity! *(Norphers stop behind him.)* Oh? *(Pan out to the rest of the Newmans, as a horde of Norphers pursues them off.)* *Saw 3D* at eleven!
* *[Cut to the Yakuza peering from a gargoyle on a skyscraper.]*
* **Myron:** The Norphers are behind this NND mystery, we know that much.
* *[Cut to the Norpher horde completely infesting the roads, with the Yakuza looking down on them.]*
* **Cobain:** Man, they are dead goddamn set on possessing this ghetto.
* **Spenser:** Not if we have anything to say about it, and we do! What next, Myron?
* **Myron:** *(Pointing to the NDD skyscraper.)* That building is where they reside, thus where we we shall make our move and break the rules.
* *[Their theme song plays as Myron shoots a grapple gun at the skyscraper and the three zipline to the roof. They narrowly climb up a gargoyle right before it breaks off and shatters on the street beneath them before smashing through a window and landing hard on the floor.]*
* **Yakuza:** *(Shocked.)* The hell?!
* *[Cut to a super sizable swarm of Norphers staring them down and encircling them.]*
* **Spenser:** Sorry, bitches, but it's our job that you don't unMorph Morphemburg!
* **Myron:** Though you are big in quantity, you are little to the Yakuza!
* *[The Norphers mix into a large robot compound that roars loudly. Whip pan back to the Yakuza.]*
* **Myron:** *(Throwing a Morpher Wheel in the air.)* You ever Merphed before?
* **Norph:** Only in the shower once.
* **Yakuza:** *(Grabbing onto the Morpher Wheel)* Merph!
* *[The Yakuza Merph forms, brandishing his ninja swords at the Norpher behemoth. He lunges at the behemoth, letting out a battle cry.]*
* **Yakuza Merph:** Yakuza!
* *[The Merph cuts the clawed fingers of the behemoth before slicing off its hands, mutilating them into Norphers that splatter on the floor. The Norphers soon leap up and regenerate the hands and begin to pound the Merph while it cuts the lion with his katanas between smashes. The behemoth collapses into a mound, scooping the Merph up in a Norpher tsunami, slamming him and fracturing all of his bones on the floor as Norphers storm down on him. Weakened, the Merph continues to cut Norphers to pieces but is soon engulfed entirely by them while its crotch is bitten. Static feed cut to Scully, darkened by an unknown source.]*
* **Scully:** *(Whispering.)* This is Scully, coming to you an anonymous site.
* **Mike:** *(Whispering.)* Shut up, somebody is here.
* *[Cut to the interior of a restroom. Gob stands there and his mouth is forced open as a saliva-covered Scully peeks out. The children walk onscreen and stop in front of Gob, all of them wearing whiteface and black paper on their clothes.]*
* **Booker:** Remember, no Russian; if anybody asks you dudes jack, just say "Norph"
* **Scotto:** Norph?
* **Bligh:** Norph?
* **Zabo:** Um… orph-nay?
* **Booker:** You know what, just let the best of us do the talking.
* **Zabe:** Whatever, ass bag.
* *[The children walk off and Scully ducks back into Gob. Cut to the inside of Gob.]*
* **Scully:** I smell a great report afoot!
* **Cameron:** My feet are covered.
* **Mike:** Yeah, you’re probably smelling my yeast infection.
* **Scully:** We shall head weastwards!
* **Mike:** …that’s not at all what I said.
* *[Cut back to Gob. The Newmans hop out of him and run off.]*
* **Scully:** Move it! We need to stalk those kids!
* *[Gob's mouth slams shut and he closes his eyes and farts. Cut to the children walking to the front of the NDD skyscraper. Clear tubes of Morpher Wheel spirit flow on the sides of it. A car honks and screeches its tires before hitting Zabe and speeding off, upon which he gets up as the car crashes into a pole. The Newmans stalk right behind them, stopping across the street.]*
* **Scully:** The NND skyscraper.
* *[The Newsmans look at the rubble of the gargoyle before tilting up to the shattered window. Cut to the children.]*
* **Scotto:** Goddamn, they're strapped harder than a lesbian in a red light district.
* *[Cut to two Norpher hovertanks that drive in front of the entrance.]*
* **Booker:** You know the rules, be more chill and leave it to your superior.
* *[The children stop in front of the hovertanks.]*
* **Booker:** Uh, meow? Norph, Norph?
* **Scotto, Bligh, and Zabe:** Norph, Norph! *[The hovertanks turn their turrets to each other and float aside, upon which the doors open. The children walk through.]*
* **Zabe:** *(Waving.)* Norph!
* *[The doors shut and the hovertanks shrug their wheels to each other. Cut to the interior hallway of the skyscraper. Many NND posters are plastered on the wall as a zombie Gumi shambles past, gargling. Cut to an elevator, where two Norphers wait while looking at their watches. A zombie shambles out of it and the two Norphers enter, one standing on the other to press a button.]*
* **Booker:** *(Offscreen.)* Hey, hold your horses, stupid!
* *[The Norpher jumps off of the other as the children board the elevator.]*
* **Booker:** Thanks for nothing, smartass.
* *[The door closes. Cut to the interior of the elevator where the Norphers stare at the children suspiciously as Booker fingers the Glock in his sock.]*
* **Zabe:** Umm… Norph, Norph? Norph, Norph, Norph, Norph, Norph, Norph, Norph Norph!
* *[The Norphers gasp in shock. Cut to the exterior of the elevator. The two Norphers exit, laughing their asses off, as Scotto, Bligh, and Booker glare at Zabe in rage.]*
* **Zabe:** What? *(The others exit the elevator, with Zabe leaving right as the doors start to close.)* That was hilarious!
* *[Zombie Ashe enters the elevator as zombie Fred walks past. Cut to the throne room. King Norpher is looking out the window as many Norphers run around. Zombies of the two criminals from earlier stumble around.]*
* **Children:** Dad gum!
* **Scotto:** Whoa, dudes, look at this place!
* **Zabe:** *(Pointing at Autocrat Norpher.)* Who the heck is that dude?
* **Booker:** Him! Autocrat Norpher! He is the lunatic terrorist behind this NND scam! We gotta kill him!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** It is time to start phase trace!
* **Major Norpher:** But, Your Dominess…
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Your butt sucks, Major! From now on, Morphemburg will be “Norphemburg”!
* *[Cut to the children, still wearing the disguises.]*
* **Booker:** Is that so? *(Rips off his disguise as the others follow suit and run toward Autocrat Norpher.)* Well, the Yakuza have something to say about that!
* **King Norpher:** They did.
* *[An elevator drops onto zombie Nor-Man as a Norpher pushes a button on it. Steam exits the door as it opens up. The three Yakuza are in it, all zombies with gouged eyes as they stumble out.]*
* **Booker:** Myron! Spenser! Cobain! The Yakuza have been… Norpherized!
* **Autocrat Norpher:** Ooh, that is just the tip of the glacier, for I've just righteously gaslit all of Morphemburg into handing over every Morpher Wheel ever! Then, I geniusly ground the Morpher Wheels down to their pure liquid spirit and reversed the flow of their sub-amino acid compounds! Uh, if you asked me how we'd be here all day. *(Walks over to a gadget where an NND wheel is hovering and a computer shows his plans.)* I loaded all of in an atomic super-cruise missile, which I will soon blast into the sky and storm back down on Morphemburg, absorbing all of the radiation!
* **Booker:** Dammit! What's your deal, man?
* *[Booker is strangled and lifted upwards by one of the Norphed Morphers, raising him to Autocrat Norpher’s line of sight.]*
* **Autocrat Norpher**: How do I put this lightly? Oh yeah. Norphers were programmed to be demonized by Morphers, we’re all put in exoskeletons, Norphers simply wish to stop you from killing the rest of the Earth’s life, and, oh yeah. WHY? WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION? DID JACOB, BEAULIEU, AND SHIMADA REALLY WANT YOU TO BE LIKE THIS? OR IS IT JUST A RESULT OF EVOLUTION? THE WOODEN JUNGLES WEREN’T SUFFICIENT TO HUMANS, SO THEY REPLACED THEM WITH CONCRETE. THE CONCRETE WASN’T SUFFICIENT TO YOUR RACE, SO YOU REPLACED IT WITH METAL. AND NOW WE’RE BACK TO CONCRETE! DON’T YOU SEE? THE EARTH IS TURNING INTO A LIVING HELL! SOON WE’LL DIE WITHOUT CHILDREN! THE WORLD IS FUBAR’ED!
* **Booker**: But... how was I?
* **Autocrat Norpher**: Okay... okay... you were once a human, like the rest of us. The Morpher Project was popular, they had children test the technology out. You were one of them. But Jacob figured you’d know something was wrong... so he had a memory wipe for a year. But we remembered, so he used this time to program a recognition software, the remaining human beings were seen as malicious. We were hunted down and eventually had to make our own exoskeletons to try and survive your attacks. So that’s it. That’s why we’re the villains. Just because we found Morphing to be unpleasant.
* **Booker**: My view remains unchanged. How are the Morphers bad, exactly?
* **Autocrat Norpher**: What, you think we run on AAAs? We need to EAT. I don’t care how much metal you put in food, it’s food nonetheless. Us Norphers are left with scraps. Instead of finding some way to create your own foodstuffs, you just scourge the remains of our past civilization. The color you spread to worlds is radiation, it’s slowly killing you all. Once we’re through, I’m pretty sure we’re through. Now, if you’d please just change—
* **Booker**: I’ll never change. Not if you’re the one telling me to. You want us to DIE!
* **Autocrat Norpher**: I didn’t say that! I just want to “Norph” you so that you see that you actually give a rat’s ass about the environment! Once we’re all normal again, perhaps we can restore the Earth to its former glory.
* **Booker**: You know what I say? Eat SH\*T!
* [Booker jumps down, grabs a handgun off of the floor, and shoots Autocrat Norpher twice, once through the chest and once through the finger. Oil sprays out, staining his chest and hands. Autocrat Norpher starts laughing as he dies.]
* **Scotto**: BOOKER! What’s wrong with you?
* **Booker**: We have to kill all of the Norphers.
* **Zabe**: No, we don’t! Did you hear a word he said?
* **Booker**: I don’t care if we’ve screwed up the world! It can go fix itself without our help.
* **Scotto**: This isn’t worth the death toll, Booker.
* **Booker**: I dunno, let’s start!
* [Booker starts shooting some of the zombies in the head, breaking through the metal and causing the oil to spray and splatter like blood. Eventually, he runs out of bullets, and finds himself surrounded.]
* [Cut to Major Norpher’s Drop-Ship landing on the NND Building. The door opens, as Major Norpher loads a dart gun.]
* **Major Norpher**: We have no time to waste! That green kid just killed our leader!
* [Cut back to the throne room, where Booker pulls out a Morpher Wheel.]
* **Booker**: Siva no Lingua... Shiv knows... Ima ops... Kaju SHO!
* [The Morpher Wheel grows gigantic, and starts radiating with rainbow colors.]
* **Frost**: Wait... it actually WORKS?
* **Booker**: You know what, I was kinda being a dick back there. This really isn’t worth THAT many casualties. I mean, even the Yakuza have been Norphed!
* [Cut to Norphed Yakuza, who are still carrying their weapons and acting zombified.]
* **Booker**: Lain Kailua Kalju Kaju! Shoot shots sho!
* [The Rainbow Morpher Wheel explodes, sending the energy to many of the surrounding Morphers.]
* **Booker**: Heh heh... you’re screwed now.
* **Myron**: Violence... appears to be our wisest choice right now.
* *[Cut to Major Norpher watching this from a screen]*
* **Major Norpher**: Whelp... Morphing makes people stupid... if we didn’t know that already.
* *[The computer showing the plan switches to a teleconference.]*
* **Major Norpher:** Hey, stupid kid, you're just one tiny Morpher, what the hell do you think you're gonna do to stop me, I have every Morpher Wheel! *(Laughs.)*
* **Booker:** Oh, yeah? *(Pulls out his Morpher Wheel, imitating an Italian accent.)* Say-a hello-a to-a my-a little-a friend-a!
* **Major Norpher:** What the balls?! You have the last Morpher Wheel?! Norphers, kill his ass!
* *[Booker holds the Morpher Wheel and does a JoJo pose. Cut to Major Norpher.]*
* **Major Norphers:** Norpher henchmen, assemble!
* *[The Yakuza do a Scooby stack. Cut to the NND station.]*
* **Myron:** *(Offscreen.)* Everybody! At the heart of the platform!
* *[The Yakuza jump in an anime loop.]*
* **Myron:** We have to replace that control Wheel!
* *[The Norpher fusion jumps in front of the control Wheel, roaring, causing the Yakuza to vibrate, dazing them, which they snap out of.]*
* **Spenser:** God, I freaking hate this dude.
* *[The fusion roars at the Yakuza. Cut to Booker, holding his Morpher Wheel.]*
* **Booker:** Morph? Anyone wanna Morph?
* *[Booker heads towards the Morpher Wheel as Myron hits the zombie Fiona with his staff. Cut to Spenser spinning his ninja swords as a zombie Valen-Tin approaches him.]*
* **Spenser:** Let's kill the villains! *(Spins around and slices Valen-Tin into pieces.)*
* *[Cut to Cobain being approached by a zombified G.]*
* **Cobain:** Go on, Booker! *(Gouges G's eyes and stabs him in the genitals.)* We gotcha covered. *(Removes a sai from G and spins both of his, the testicle still attached.)*
* **Booker:** Yeah, but are you willing to Morph?
* **Vincent:** It's like a *(electrocutes himself)* zombie movie! You don't go *(electrocutes himself)* alone or you *(electrocutes himself)* die! *(Impales pregnant zombie in the stomach with a spike of rebar.)*
* **Myron:** Merphing did not get us far last time.
* **Booker:** Camilo! Merph with me!
* **Camilo:** Not right now, Booker. *(Slashes a zombie's head with an ax.)*
* **Booker:** That wasn't a question. *(Booker runs up to Camilo and forces his hand onto the Morpher Wheel, Morphing them.)*
* **Booker & Camilo:** Morph!
* *[The Booker & Camilo Morph slashes parts of the zombies off and vomits slime on them that causes them to melt, before having an anxiety attack and unMorphing. Zoom in on Booker's eye as he foams at the mouth and has a seizure. Cut to Booker falling through a volcanic pit where he is grabbed and thrown around by two bisected demon zombies as one plays the fiddle with his ribs in the background.]*
* **Demon:** This is where people who Morph without consent go! *(Rips Booker in half, causing robotic guts and oil to spray out of his severed halves.)*
* *[Booker awakens, hyperventilating, finding mutilated body parts of both zombies and typical Morphers. A dungeon door opens up with steam exiting and zombies of Bernard, Sid, and Ted leaving, followed by the zombies of Krish, Luke, and Scarlet. Standing down, Booker closes his eyes and raises his arms before his eyes are gouged by a zombie and he is turned into a zombie. Wipe to Booker's POV as he stares at three cyborgs in black armor.]*
* **Norpher:** We're the Norphers, we mean no harm. Take it all in.
* **Booker:** *(Shocked.)* No...
* **Norpher:** Yes.
* **Booker:** You kind of maimed my eyes but right now I don't have much of a choice but to come with you.
* *[Booker takes a Norpher's hand and is led to the elevator. Cut to the interior, where Booker stares at the Norphers.]*
* **Norpher:** Someone needs to fly the rocket, our leader was the top pick but...
* **Booker:** *(Seething)* I'm not going to kill myself for your crusade, no matter how righteous it is.
* **Norpher:** Not an unexpected reponse.
* *[Cut to another floor where the elevator door opens up and Booker exits with the three Norphers.]*
* **Myron:** Greetings, young Booker.
* **Cobain:** Hello.
* **Spenser:** Sup, pimp.
* **Booker:** Look, I know to believe it all now, but I can't just throw my life away like this.
* **Myron:** You are the special one, you are the one man army, you are our only hope. Furthermore, did you not dispose of others without rationality?
* *[Booker looks around. Cut to his POV as he stares at mounds of Norpher corpses and Camilo, having a panic attack.]*
* **Booker:** I... it has only just dawned on me what I'd done. That doesn't change that suicide is dishonorable, why must I be sacrificed for your good?
* **Major Norpher:** I hate to leave your query unanswered, but someone needs to step up.
* **Countdown voiceover:** 10…
* **Booker:** It's alright, I already know the answer.
* *[Booker looks at Bligh, Scotto, and Zabe as they silently nod to him and tear up. Cut to Booker entering the rocket as the top suddenly screws over him.]*
* **Countdown voiceover:** 2… 1…
* *[Cut to the exterior of the skyscraper, which shakes and breaks in half as all but the frame and floors collapse off of it, releasing the rocket.]*
* **Major Norpher:** This is it...
* **Countdown voiceover:** 0…
* *[The rocket is fully exposed. The boosters start up and the rocket blasts off. Cut to Major Norpher.]*
* **Autocrat Norpher:** *(Crying, slowly bringing a pistol to his head.)* His life to kill Morphemburg?
* *[Cut to the rocket, then towards a crowd of Morphers looking onward at it.]*
* **Morphers:** *(Variously.)* Oh crap! What the hell are we gonna do? Everyone is going to die!
* *[Cut to the rocket flying in the air. Cut to a Frost mother and her kids.]*
* **Mom:** Oh, no! It's gonna kill my babies! *(Covers the eyes of her kids as one of them drops his lolipop and he cries when it breaks.)*
* *[Cut to the rocket still flying. Cut back to Major Norpher.]*
* **Major Norpher:** *(Wiping tears from his eyes, faintly smiling as he lowers the gun.)* Heh, top of the world, ma.
* *[Cut to dusk as a widespread anxiety attack hits the city, screams echoing as a building catches fire and burns down. Cut to the interior of the NND tower, where the Norphers stare down the control panel in the massacre site.]*
* **Booker:** Any closer and I'd reach Morpher Moon, ion engines are a hell of a thing, huh?
* *[Major Norpher looks at a worried Camilo and back at the detonation button.]*
* **Major Norpher:** No, you said it yourself, you can't be sacrificed for our good. You're a child, you have so much ahead of you, the beautiful, the horrible, all of it.
* *[Camilo tears up and approaches the detonation button as Major Norpher walks away from it dejectedly.]*
* **Camilo:** You Morphed without my consent... I can't forgive that.
* **Booker:** Damn straight.
* **Camilo:** I hate that you took advantage of me like that, I hate that you killed all of those people, but I love you, Booker. I have to make this quick, so farewell, my beau.
* *[Cut to the interior of the rocket, where Booker is tearing up and shaking nervously.]*
* **Booker:** Don't let them forget this, but most importantly, don't let them forget what I did to you and all of those freedom fighters.
* *[Cut back to the button, which Camilo presses as he cries. Cut back to Booker, clenching his teeth and crying as a fiery explosion suddenly engulfs him. Cut to the rocket the moment before as it suddenly explodes into fire, crumbling in space with tubes and metal pieces flying everywhere. Cut back to Major Norpher.]*
* **Major Norpher:** Aghhhhh! *(Breaks down crying, as Camilo tearfully comforts him.)*
* *[Cut back to the ruined NND building as pieces of the rocket burn and crash all over it, Norpher essence suddenly pouring out of them and scattering in Morphemburg. It slowly spreads onto the Morphers, removing color from them.]*
* **Mom:** We're... alive? Were we saved?
* **Kid:** *(Continues to cry over his broken lolipop.)*
* **Mom:** Hey, boys don't... wait. Sensitivity is... okay?
* *[Cut to the arena, where the Norpher Drop-Ship floats. A beam of grayness spreads over it, landing in the arena and spilling out, desaturating it. Inside, the Morphers are turned back to cyborgs, as they look around in shock, before cheering.]*
* **Morphers:** NND! NND!
* *[Cut to the Ocean's Bitch rolling through the road, pursuing a swarm of Norphers while its front rocket launcher fires at them. Sky and another are on board.]*
* **Sky:** Avast right thar, ye evil scallywags, lasses, wenches, 'n sprogs! We be goin' t' scuttle all o' ye 'n yer families! Ye motherfu-
* *[The Norpher beam hits them and they stop in there tracks.]*
* **Sky:** Wha' in Davy Jones' locker are we doin'? Why be thar a rocket launcher on a scurvy dog ship? Why do we pirate our booty, t' begin wit'? Has the system failed us?
* *[Cut to the bench, where the Ingrids sit as Norphers approach them with electric guns.]*
* **Florence:** We orchestrated that attack so they'd believe in Morphing and never trust you. Life doesn't matter without this success.
* *[The Norphing beam hits the Ingrids and they become cyborgs. Cut to the Norphers looking at each other twice before firing as dying screams are heard.]*
* **Morphers:** Yipee ki yay! Norphemburg is okay!
* *[The Morphers cheer and celebrate as confetti bursts all over the place. Cut to Zabe, Bligh, and Scotto.]*
* **Scotto:** Well, what about Booker?
* **Bligh:** We killed him.
* *[Zabe, Bligh, and Scotto burst into tears and hold guns to their heads.]*
* **Zabe:** Poor, little Booker…
* *[Pan to the Yakuza.]*
* **Myron:** Indeed, poor Booker. He is our savior, our redeemer, a martyr... despite all his sins.
* *[Cut to the group of Morphers, all crying uncontrollably and holding guns to their heads. Cut back to the trio.]*
* **Scotto:** If we kill ourselves, Booker died for nothing. His death was honorable, something we've lost sight of in this day and age.
* *[Cut to the skyline of Norphemburg as the Norpher Drop-Ship flies over it. Cut to the interior of the Drop-Ship, where Major Norpher and another Norpher look on.]*
* **Major Norpher:** Whoo, happy ending, everybody knows that good won and evil lost. For all his murder and Morphing without consent, though, I miss Booker.
* *[The other Norpher dejectedly nods as Major Norpher looks back at the window.]*
* **Major Norpher:** Your choice, but I got a month of vacation coming.
* *[Cut to the Drop-Ship, which flies off.]*
* **Major Norpher:** *(Offscreen.)* Rancho Cucamonga and that Mexico cruise await!
* *[Cut to the Yakuza. Myron holds a manga.]*
* **Myron:** Young Booker showed much bravery. *(Looks through the manga.)* This would've been our present to him. Issue 69, “The Yakuza Awaken,” original copy, mint condition.
* **Cobain:** It wasn't the original, per se.
* *[Myron reaches the end, which depicts panels of him holding a Morpher Wheel, a nuclear explosion, him electrocuting a Norpher, and him appearing triumphant.]*
* **Myron:** "Booker Rescues Morphemburg." Doesn't line up with the true code of the Yakuza…
* **Cobain:** Sustainability…
* **Spenser:** Diversity…
* **Myron:** And truth!
* **Spenser:** It is the Yakuza way, thug.
* *[The Yakuza stare at the manga before we pull out to a trash can fire. Myron looks up from the manga and throws it in the fire. Cut to the manga burning into ashes. Cut to the mound of Ingrids, screaming in pain. The trash crew run in, with one cannibalizing three of them and throwing two behind for another to devour. Florence is left, alone, before the last trash man vores her and burps out a bloody, fractured bone. Static feed cut to Scully.]*
* **Scully:** And that is the story of how one, tiny Morpher saved Norphemburg! Not that it excused his unconsensual Morphing and killing, but that's nothing compared to a Greek God and people worshipped those for centuries.
* *[Static feed cut to the skyline of Norphemburg, black and white except for rainbow and trans flags.]*
* **Booker:** *(Narrating.)* You see, a one Morpher army is all it took. Indeed, Morphemburg was my hood, but the world couldn’t go on with it… or with me. *(Screen fades to white.)* Along with stupidity and most of our universe, the existence of change is inevitable. It can be good, it can be bad, for change is subjective. Change comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, forms. Small changes may occur, like the transition from heat to rain. More substantial changes are also on the menu, like ice ages. We can make a change, too. And while change is subjective, sometimes you have to ask yourself why it exists. And if you can’t come up with a sufficient answer, perhaps it’s time to reverse it.
