Screenplay

The screenplay is currently unfinished, but here's what we have so far. Links to characters and places will be included.

INT. DREADNOUGHT GALAXY

[ Shigaraki and Kurogiri look on as the galaxy explodes.]

KUROGIRI: Shigaraki, I'm afraid I won't live through this. I can save you, but you'll be the last league member left.

SHIGARAKI: Do what you must, Kurogiri.

KUROGIRI: Just remember, you're living to end what All for One started.

SHIGARAKI: Just save me!

[Machinery explodes around the two and Kurogiri warps Shigaraki to the League of Villains bar. Shigaraki looks around confusedly. The Marvel Studios logo appears.]

FADE TO: EXT. PENNSYLVANIA COUNTYSIDE - DAY

[Shulk, Reyn, Dunban, Rikki, Juju, and Fiora are out practicing swordsmanship. Dunban is helping Shulk improve his skills. Fiora and Juju are getting lunch ready, and Reyn and Rikki are talking off to the side.]

DUNBAN: So how's it like adjusting to being a 'normal perso-' swing differently! Put your torso into it! How's it like being just like everyone else.

SHULK: I dunno. I'm glad not to be fighting anymore. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do under house arrest.

[Shulk swings his sword at a scarecrow-like dummy and looks at the device strapped to his ankle.]

DUNBAN: You need to keep your aim straight.

SHULK: I know I'm not taking this very-

DUNBAN: No! Aiming your swings. You just almost cut my legs off from the knee.

JUJU: Do you want mayo or mustard on your hot dogs?

DUNBAN: Two mustard!

SHULK: Who puts mayo on a hot dog?

DUNBAN: Reyn, I think.

[Shulk turns away for a second and laughs. When he turns around, there is just a cloud of dust where Dunban was standing. Shulk looks around to see that all of his friends dissapeared without explanation.]

SHULK: Reyn? Fiora? Hello? Anyone hear me?

CUT TO: INT. PHASE DISTORTER - DEEP SPACE

[Zoom in on Ness staring sadly out of it] [The Phase Distorter has a built in phone, which Ness glances at. He goes to it and calls his dad. After a while, nobody picks up.]

PHONE: Please record your message at the tone.

NESS: Dad, I hope that you can hear this, because this may be the last time I ever get to talk. If you do get this message, don't post it on social media. It'll be a real tear jerker. When Thanos snapped, I was in the Dreadnought Galaxy with some of the Avengers. After the last of Thanos's goons took down the ship, a girl named Kumatora and I took the unfinished Phase Distorter quickly to a random place in the Universe, which damaged it greatly. We've been here for 21 no... 22 days now. I've pretty much just had fun with the pink-haired meany back there. Kumatora, oh I know you'd love her, dad. She's well meaning and is a great helper when she needs to be. She's very methodical, and just slightly sadistic. We've been living with what we had since then, but we run out of oxygen in six hours and the Phase Distorter can't take us anywhere until it's repaired, so I guess this is it... Aside from the existential horror of staring into the literal void of space, I'd say we're fine... totallly fine... I'm... just... gonna rest my eyes now...

[Kumatora props Ness into his seat as he passes out. A glowing figure flies through space towards them after Ness is done talking. It's Rosalina.]

ROSALINA: There's been a distress call from your vessel. It was instantly sent when you teleported to report a system error.

[Their ship is taken to the Avengers headquarters.]

[[[Anne Boonchuy]], Squidward, and Lucas are doing some normal stuff when they begin to hear rumbling and run outside to see Rosalina and the Lumas lowering the Phase Distorter down to the Earth.]

SQUIDWARD - WORRIED: Back to bed.

[He begins to walk away but Lucas grabs his arm.]

[As the Phase Distorter touches the ground Ness and Kumatora step out with wobbly footing.]

LUCAS EXCITED: Kumatora! Ness! You're alive!

ANNE: What happened?

NESS: We'll talk later, when we've got the rest of the Avengers with us.

SQUIDWARD: That's the problem. We're some of the few Avengers left.

NESS: What's that supposed to mean!? Are Bowser, Aqua, Homer Simpson, and the rest of the Avengers on a pity vacation to celebrate our loss?

SQUIDWARD: Oh boy... Step into my office.

CUT TO: INT. AVENGERS HQ - LATE NIGHT

SQUIDWARD: We're not sure what we're going to do. Don't you know what happened while you were at the Dreadnought Galaxy?

KUMATORA - WORRIED: No. Are Duster and Boney okay?

SQUIDWARD: Wario, Bowser Jr., and even more... Including Duster and Boney...

ANNE - SAD: All gone.

NESS: Who else is in HQ?

ANNE: Right now just Sprig, Hop Pop, and Mario. We've got no idea where the others are, or who else is alive. Mr. Krabs and Hat Kid joined Thanos.

KUMATORA: Oh yeah! Where DID Thanos go?

SQUIDWARD: We don't know.

NESS: And Porky?

ANNE: That's the problem.

LUCAS: we don't know where any of them are. All our enemies. They dispersed all over after the snap.

SQUIDWARD - ANGRY: Well would any of this had happened had the "Space Queen" been there to help!?

ROSALINA: Do you know what other plots would have succeeded had I not been travelling the Universe!? Thanos would have happened ten times if it weren't for me.

KUMATORA: Listen, we'll be able to think this through better in the morning.

[FADE TO BLACK]

INT. AVENGERS HQ FRONT ROOM - DAY

[Hop Pop is tinkering with a hologram displaying many stars, moons, and planets.]

[Hop Pop clicks on a planet that began to flash and then gasps]

HOP POP: Avengers! Come here quick!

[Sprig, Mario, Anne, Squidward, Ness, Rosalina, and Lucas rush into the room.]

HOP POP: Look, I just got a signal from the Honeyhive Galaxy. There've been massive energy waves coming from Earth when Thanos snapped causing a power surge of ridemitecudiculous proportions, but such waves only came from Earth until now! Look, there's even bigger surges coming from the Honeyhive Galaxy! Wait a minute... Where's Kumatora?

SPRIG: She's upstairs moping in bed.

HOP POP: Why?

ANNE: She thinks that she's failed.

SQUIDWARD: And she has. But there's been a lot of that going around.

MARIO: Does Thanos have an army?

HOP POP: No, my readings show it's just him.

SPRIG: Wait, if he's got the Stones, then could be take them and use them to bring everyone back? Just like that?

LUCAS: It sounds crazy, but it just might work!

ANNE: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kick some titanic butt!

HOP POP: You really think this'll work?

ANNE: Yeah, because if it doesn't, I'm not sure what to do.

[In front of a large letter "A" against a red background, the word "Avengers" appears, and then slowly swivels to become "Endgame".]

JUMP CUT TO: EXT. ROSALINA'S SPACE STATION - DAY

[The space station flies towards a green looking planet]

CUT TO: INT. THANOS'S HOUSE - DAY

[Thanos calmly picks kiwano melons in his garden while shooing off Flipbugs from the area. He uses his old armor as a scarecrow now]

[Thanos goes into his house and happily begins to cut the melons. At that moment, Rosalina burst through the roof and immobilized Thanos. Sprig and Hop Pop use their tongues to hold his arms and Squidward shot ink at his feet to get him stuck. Anne, Kumatora, Lucas, Ness, and Mario step in. Anne eyes Thanos's damaged gauntlet.]

[She uses her tennis racket to cut off his hand. Squidward picks the gauntlet up off the ground, and sees that there are no infinity stones in it.]

SQUIDWARD - TERRIFIED: Oh no...

NESS: Where are the stones, Thanos?

THANOS: They're gone. Reduced to atoms.

NESS: He's lying guys. Tear this place to the ground. They're in here somewhere. He used them just two days ago.

THANOS: I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me.

LUCAS: But how... why...

THANOS: The Universe required correction. Now that the work is done... The stones served no purpose beyond temptation.

SQUIDWARD: You murdered trillions!

THANOS: You should be grateful.

THANOS: I have done my job. The Universe is in balance once again. I am... Inevitable.

[After Thanos said that, Kumatora formed a blade using PK Freeze and cut off Thanos's head.]

ANNE: Aww, it was just getting good - I mean now we don't know what he would do next.

NESS: What was that for?

KUMATORA: I went for the head.

[Fade to black as Kumatora walks somberly out the door.]

[Text appears on screen: Five Years Later]

[Shigaraki runs away from Shulk through Tokyo.]

SHULK: Die criminal!

SHIGARAKI: Jeez, if you're gonna say something, at least make it something with meaning.

SHULK: What's that supposed to mean.

SHIGARAKI: You're just like the old me, but you've got no motive. You just destroy and rampage out of frustration.

[Shulk knocks Shigaraki's hand mask off and corners him.]

SHULK: I'm different. You hurt people.

SHIGARAKI: Heh... heh... heh... I hurt people? Look around. After the snap, there's no order, no "symbol of peace". The League's purposehas been fulfilled, and so has mine All Might is dead, and that's all that matters to me. I just hide now. You're the villain here. Since the snap, I've only killed three, no... four people. How many did you kill, Shulk? Fifteen, twenty, thirty two?

[Shulk stabs Shigaraki in the stomach and grabs his neck.]

SHULK: Eighty four. And counting.

[Shigaraki lays down his head and dies.

[Fade into camera panning over Musutafu, Japan.] [Zoom into the Avengers Headquarters building.]

[Anne is sitting at her desk with a cup of bubble tea. Her hair is as unkempt as ever and her clothes seem dirtier. She glances sadly at pictures of her with Boney, Duster, Bowser, Spongebob, and other members of the Avengers team, not believing that they're gone for good. Enter Sprig, who now has his hair in a shaggy style which can now be seen even with his hat on.]

SPRIG: Anne, you seem so down all the time now. Just look on the bright side. You've still got me, Hop Pop, Rosalina, Mario, Lucas, and Ness.

ANNE: Yeah, but now Squidward and Kumatora flew the coop.

[Sprig walks around the desk and pulls up a chair to sit across from Anne. He brushes away some objects on the desk so he can rest his hands on the table.]

SPRIG: Listen Anne, I know I'm not serious often, but this time I really am. This isn't you. I know that the real Anne is in there somewhere. Right now you're not the strong, positive monster that saved my life in that forest one day, but I know that's who you are.

ANNE - SERIOUS: Listen Sprig, I know you've always had a positive look on things, but the old Anne is gone.

SPRIG: Don't say stuff like that! You'll only make the problem worse. What happened to Anne and Sprig? (Pumps fists sadly as he says...) Sprig against the World...

ANNE: The World beat you and me and everyone and you know it, Sprig! [Anne sips more of her bubble tea]

SPRIG: Okay, okay. If it'll make you feel better I can call the others.

ANNE - MONOTONE: No.

[Sprig calls the other Avengers via hologram]

SPRIG: Whoops!

ANNE: (Throws her empty bubble tea cup at Sprig) You idiot!

[Sprig dodges the cup]

SPRIG - NERVOUS: Gotta go get Hop Pop!

[Sprig takes the hologram controls with him.]

[Blue tinted holograms of Mario, Ness, Lucas, and Rosalina appear in front of the desk in an arc.]

NESS: Wow, we haven't heard from our old friends the Plantars in - FUZZY PICKLES ANNE YOU LOOK LIKE A ZOMBIE!

ANNE: Thanks for mentioning it.

MARIO: It'sa always a pleasure to see you Anne, even when you look like youra dead.

ANNE: Mario, don't you live in the castle like two blocks from here. Is this better than being actually in my presence to you?

MARIO: I'mma in the Battlerock Galaxy now.

ANNE: Oh excuses.

LUCAS: You seem so sad lately...

ANNE: WILL EVERYONE STOP SAYING THAT TO ME!?!?

[Anne throws an old shoe at holographic Lucas. The shoe passes right through the hologram.]

LUCAS: I think I'll go for a little bit...

[Lucas's hologram disappears.]

ROSALINA: You really need to calm down Anne.

[Sprig enters the room, helping Hop Pop balance on his cane and sit down on a couch. Hop Pop is just as much a mess as Anne. His hair is snaggled and he was holding a mug of coffee in his now shaky right hand. His left hand was kept on his cane. He wore sweatpants and a stained white tank top.]

SPRIG: I think Anne needs some time to cool down guys.

[Sprig places his hand on Anne's shoulder and leads her to the couch next to Hop Pop. She is now shaking with anger and out of insanity. Sprig forces her hand into a cupped shape and puts a cup of coffee in it.]

[Hop Pop turns to Anne.]

HOP POP: I've been in the HQ basement for so long that I forgot how hard Thanos hit you.

ANNE: How'm I supposed to move on?

HOP POP: I'm sure at least one of us's recovered.

[Lucas's hologram reappears.]

SPRIG: So... how's everything going with you guys?

LUCAS: We're okay. Ness has been helping me look for Porky and Grimes.

SPRIG: Grimes? Oh! Grimy! I remember that slimy old toad. Well if he's gone then I suppose Sasha is too.

LUCAS: Yep...

ROSALINA: They're not the only ones missing. World government is in shards. Nations on multiple planets have taken censuses and yes, Thanos has done what he said and wiped out half of all life forms.

NESS: Oh... I forgotto tell you. A bunch of Pigmasks were just murdered... They were found just as the crime scene was being fled...

SPRIG: Was it...?

LUCAS: Yes. It was Shulk. What he's been doing for the past few years... A part of me doesn't even want to find him.

[The Egg Galaxy Theme plays.]

MARIO: Sorry. It'sa my ringtone.

[Mario picks up the call.]

MARIO: Wait... Is it really you... If that's... then... Oh... Oh boy...

SPRIG: Who was it?

MARIO: No time to explain. Justa all of you get to the 2021 Reconstruction Era Café in New Pork City!

[Mario's hologram disappears]

[Ness teleports with Lucas away and their hologram disappears]

[Rosalina's hologram disappears]

SPRIG: We need to get there fast! We need to take the river!

ANNE: Not happening.

HOP POP: Anne, we need to go, Mario sounded urgent.

ANNE: Don't care.

SPRIG: We can take the ferry to New Pork City.

JUMP CUT TO: INT. ANDONUTS LABS - DAY

[Apple Kid's mouse runs across the Phase Distorter controls (pre-set to the Avengers Headquarters) and causes the machine to warp to the building. The Phase Distorter warps to the porch of Avengers HQ. Apple Kid, Paula, and Jeff step out to see the streets filled with garbage and broken cars.]

APPLE KID: Sheesh. This place is a mess. Let's just get into the HQ to let the others know we're okay... Darn. The door's locked.

[He knocks on the door and looks at the security camera above him.]

APPLE KID: Hello!? Should someone buzz us in or something.

[Sprig and Hop Pop are packing. Sprig hesitates as he packs away a picture of his sister Polly, who disintegrated during the snap. Anne is drooling in her sleep on the couch. Hop Pop notices Apple Kid at the door and hurries to unlock it.]

APPLE KID: We were in the Phase Distorter for like, five minutes. How long do they think it's been? They still recognize us, right?

[Hop Pop opens the door.]

HOP POP: Well kids it took you darn well long enough to get here. We've been waitin' five whole years!

APPLE KID: Five years, no no no. We were in the Phase Distorter for no longer than five or ten minutes.

PAULA - WORRIED: Wait, five years!? Is Ness okay!?

HOP POP: Yes.

PAULA: Where is he!? Is he okay!?

HOP POP: He's in New Pork City. We were just coming to meet him there.

SPRIG - FROM ANOTHER ROOM: Should I wake up Anne!?

HOP POP: Yes, then you both come down here and get ready to go.

APPLE KID: What's happened in five years?

HOP POP: Half of the life forms in the Universe are gone.

JEFF: Thanos won!?

HOP POP: I'm afraid so. Most of the Avengers are either dead or missing.

[The three kids continue to get caught up with things as the camera flies to Anne and Sprig. Anne is lying on the couch. Sprig is trying to drag her off of it.]

ANNE: I ain't going!

SPRIG: Listen to me! We need to.

ANNE: And why!?

SPRIG: Because it might be the only chance we get in a long time to get our friends back. I'm not sure if that's what the call Mario got was about, but I do know that I want all the Avengers back together again as much as you do. So please, Anne. Just cooperate.

[Pause a beat.]

ANNE: Fine, but I won't enjoy this.

CUT TO: EXT. AVENGERS HQ - LATE NIGHT

JEFF: Let's take the Phase Distorter to New Pork City. It's way faster than the ferry.

HOP POP: Ugh, kids these days. With their luxuries and mæmés. I say we take the fer-

[Anne kicks Hop Pop into the Phase Distorter.]

[Apple Kid motions for everyone to get into the Phase Distorter, and they do. They teleport to the front door of the café and step out of the machine and into the restraunt. At one of the booths, to everyone's surprise, Mario, Ness, Rosalina, and Lucas were sitting and eating breakfast with none other than Bowser the Koopa King himself!]

ANNE: I am so confused right now.

[The Plantars cram into the booth with the others.]

[Paula and Jeff approach Ness, who is now five years older than them.]

NESS: Paula! Jeff! You're okay!

JEFF: Oh boy... This is kinda awkward.

NESS: You guys look like you haven't aged at all! Why's that?

APPLE KID: The Phase Distorter II seemed to have suddenly brought us here, but it's in no condition to time travel anymore. Our trip back gave it a real beating, but it should be able to teleport fine.

ANNE: Uuh... Is anyone here going to talk about the giant fire breathing turtle dragon in the room?

BOWSER: Are you talking about me?

HOP POP: Why DID you go into hiding for five years and then suddenly show up now?

[BOWSER POURS SYRUP ON HIS PANCAKES.]

BOWSER: After Thanos snapped I took one of the escape pods from the Dreadnought Galaxy and landed in a Bornean Rainforest. It took me five years to find a way to get back and contact you guys, so now here we are!

ANNE: I think that just made things even more confusing.

BOWSER: But what I really wanted to tell you was that on my travels, I think I learned a little about the whereabouts of the missing Avengers.

ANNE: Should we be finding them now if you know where they might be?

BOWSER: Okay, okay. Anne's right. We've been talking long enough. We've finally got our first chance to be reunited in five years, now let's take it!

APPLE KID: I'll go get the Phase Distorter.

[When he goes outside, the Phase Distorter is gone and a bunch of Pigmasks are standing where it used to be.]

APPLE KID: What's happening here?

PIGMASK: We have confiscated your vehicle due to it being a relic of Master Porky's old life.

APPLE KID: Where's Porky at?

PIGMASK: That's classified.

[Apple Kid goes back inside angrily.]

APPLE KID: Does anyone else here have a way to transport us all?

HOP POP: It's not ideal, and we can't all come, but...

JUMP CUT TO: EXT. A ROAD IN A FIELD (NEW TAZMILY) - DAY

[Bessie, Hop Pop's snail, is pulling a rusty trailer carrying Bowser, Lucas, Hop Pop, Anne, and Rosalina.]

[They pull up to a dock where Caribbean Manatees cruise through the water.]

[Lighter and Fuel walk by.]

LIGHTER: Hey, Lucas.

FUEL: Hi!

BOWSER: Is it true that Kumatora's here.

LIGHTER: Yeah, she lives in the old house over there.

[Lighter motions at a small, dirty shed on a hill.]

LIGHTER: She's shut herself in now, though. She doesn't tolerate visits.

CUT TO: EXT. THE SHED - DAY

[Hop Pop, Bowser, Anne, Lucas, and Rosalina approach the house's door.]

[Anne knocks on the door. After 15 seconds, nobody comes to open it.]

ANNE: Well, nobody's there. Let's go now.

HOP POP: No, let me try, Anne. (Screaming as he says) IS ANYBODY HOOOOOOME!?

[A male voice answers.]

VOICE: Not Kumatora.

HOP POP: Then can we come in?

VOICE: No.

HOP POP: And why...

VOICE: It's because... the air conditioning is... in the Bathroom... Aw darn. I messed up the excuse again. Oh! I mean...

HOP POP: I know Kumatora's in there somewhere.

VOICE: (sigh)

[You can here someone walking towards the door. You here three bolted locks being unlocked. The door begins to open. When the heroes are getting ready to go in, they see that the person who opened the door is tiny. It's a Pikachu with a detective's hat and Hawaiian doll shirt on.]

SPRIG: Well that's not who I expected.

DET. PIKACHU: Yeah, I get that a lot. Listen, I don't know why you're here, but Kumatora won't let you in.

BOWSER: We're the Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes. Kumatora was one of us once, so please, let us in.

PIKACHU: Oooh boy I bet I'm gonna regret this... Sure, you can come in, but only as long as Kumatora allows.

[Hop Pop, Lucas, and Anne go in.]

HOP POP: You guys stay back until we're done.

[The hallway they enter into through the front door has dusty gray wallpaper. There are tattered pictures of various members of the Avengers on the walls, along with various wrappers and boxes on the sides of the floor. Various yo-yos and gloves are on the ground. They go into the next room, which looks similar to the last one, but has a window and a couch with a TV in front of it. There is a bean bag and a dresser with a bowl of pretzels on it. Kumatora's blue and pink sweater is hanging from a coat hanger sloppily nailed to the wall. There is an Eevee with hair covering its eyes wandering the house. Kumatora is on the couch with a box of pizza. Her hair now covers her eyes and she wears a white t-shirt and a red plaid over shirt and jeans. Her stomach sags now.]

KUMATORA: Oh boy... It's you guys. The Avengers. Earth's biggest losers.

LUCAS: That's... not the welcome I wanted.

KUMATORA: Get out. I don't want you guys. I don't need you guys.

ANNE: So Kumatora, what's up with the Eevee and Con-Pikachu-Man? Ya have some weird thing for Pokémon bodyguards now?

KUMATORA: I dunno. These two were just here when I moved in. The Pika's good for my emotional problems and the Eevee looks like Porky so I keep him around 'cause I think it's a sign or something.

HOP POP: So they're free loaders.

ANNE: Why's the Pikachu talking?

KUMATORA: I dunno, he claims to have amnesia.

PIKACHU: Yeah, it's true.

ANNE: So you've got an talking Pikachu and an Eevee that looks like your nemesis? This world is messed up.

LUCAS: I dunno. I kinda like them.

[Pikachu and Eevee move onto the couch with Kumatora and take pieces of Pizza.]

LUCAS: Kumatora, why don't you want to be with us again. We all lost people after Thanos-

KUMATORA: Don't say that! No. No. He won. He - he killed Duster and Boney. He killed Bowser Jr. I don't deserve to have lived! I lost. I've failed. I'm why this all happened. No. No. No. NEVER MENTION THAT NAME!!

LUCAS: Okay. Listen. We all lost people after 'That Guy'. Without you, we can't make things right and find out how to fix what 'That Guy' did.

KUMATORA: Why, exactly, would I want to leave here. I'm fine, the Pokémon are fine, right guys?

PIKACHU: Yes, all fine here.

EEVEE: Eevee!

KUMATORA: The damage's been done. I'm fine now. Get away from me.

HOP POP: Kumatora, do you want to be with us?

[Pause a beat]

KUMATORA - CONFLICTED: What do you want me to do?

HOP POP: The truth is I'm not sure yet. Apple Kid just told me to get you, Aqua, Shulk, and Squidward back.

KUMATORA: You don't even know what you're doing and you're dragging me into this!?

HOP POP: The space station's got beer on it.

KUMATORA: What kind? Wait! No! What am I doing!?

ANNE: Do you ever want to see Duster and Boney again?

KUMATORA: Fine! To keep my sanity, count me in. I'll do whatever the heck you want me to and hate every moment of it.

LUCAS: Yay! You're back!

KUMATORA: But on one condition. I need to bring my Pikachu with.

ANNE: Why, Kumatora, why.

KUMATORA: The Pikachu's my therapy pet.

PIKACHU: I prefer the term companion.

HOP POP: And the Eevee?

HOP POP: Okay, okay.

ANNE: Next is to find Aqua.

CUT TO: BIKINI BOTTOM - NIGHT

[A tall figure stalks through an alleyway. He's in a trench coat with a high collar.]

SQUIDWARD - MONOLOGUE: Bikini Bottom's gone down in five years. Chum Bucket's on top. I'm unemployed without Krabs. Now I just watch my enemies drop like flies as they're torn apart by their own insanity.

PATRICK: Squidward! Squidward! I got one!

SQUIDWARD: An assassin doesn't just kill random people on the street you moron! We're looking for Thanos follower Mrs. Puff!

SQUIDWARD- MONOLOGUE: Oh, yes. This is my, ugh, p-partner Patrick Star. We help eradicate the evils that now govern Bik-

PATRICK: Who ya talkin' to Squidward?

SQUIDWARD: This is gonna be a long day...

JUMP CUT TO: SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, EXITING ROSALINA'S SPACE STATION- DAY

[Rosalina and Mario stay inside the Space Station.]

KUMATORA: Why exactly are we here, in the land of venomous stonefish and jellyfish?

HOP POP: They've also got bearded dragons and parakeets.

BOWSER: Listen, while looking for the Avengers, I found signs hinting that Aqua was here.

ANNE: What signs?

[On a billboard, words are spray painted: Aqua was here, I need money or I'll die.]

ANNE: It was a literal sign.

HOP POP: Wait, if you were in Bornro, then why did you end up here if the HQ was North.

BOWSER: About that, it turns out my Gyroscope had a bit of indigestion and the phone compass pointed South instead of North all the time. I had to use the rest of my money on hand to buy a plane ride to the Mushroom Kingdom. I didn't have time to look for Aqua.

ANNE: Where do you think Aqua is?

KUMATORA: Probably the local Chuck E. Cheese, or somewhere a less mature person would go.

PIKACHU: You didn't handle this the best yourself, Kumatora.

KUMATORA: Shut it yellow rat!

PIKACHU: I'm a mouse according to the Pokédex.

BOWSER: Let's just ask around in the vicinity of the billboard.

PIKACHU: Would the normal people living here not be absolutely terrified by a bunch of monsters and some normal people going through their town?

BOWSER: Relax, we're the Avengers, people love us.

[A kid screams and runs when Bowser takes a step.]

[The Avengers split up asking pedestrians if they've seen Aqua.]

Kumatora: Have you seen an immature idiot, about yay high, blue hair?

LUCAS: She's a goddess, screams a lot.

SPRIG: No, she's not a fish.

HOP POP: OVER HERE GUYS! I THINK I FOUND WHERE SHE IS!

CUT TO: EXT. ALLEYWAY - DAY

[Hop Pop is conversing with Muffet the Spider.]

MUFFET: Yes, I know her. I give her $2 every day when I visit the gas station two streets down. She works there and cries most of the time.

HOP POP: Thanks for the help, sir.

[The rest of the group catch up, only to see Hop Pop rushing away again.]

HOP POP: Quick! To the nearest gas station!

KUMATORA: C'mon. (huff) (gasp) We just stopped running.]

[Bowser pulls her off the ground and carries her the rest of the way.]

[In the store, behind the checkout desk, Aqua was sitting with her face in her hands. Hop Pop approaches her.]

HOP POP: Is something wrong, Aqua?

AQUA: What does it look like to you!? I get paid minimum wage to cry.

KUMATORA: I'd take that job.

[Hop Pop elbows Kumatora.]

ANNE: I was stuck trying to make a weapon on another planet with her, let me try.   ANNE: So Aqua, why would a beautiful, intelligent girl like you be working in a gas station like this?   SPRIG: Am I the only one who feels slightly uncomfortable here?   ANNE -  HUSHED: Shhh! It’s all part of the act!

HOP POP - HUSHED: What act?   ANNE - HUSHED: Just let me get on with the conversation, please.

AQUA: I’m not an Avenger anymore.

ANNE: Why’s that?

AQUA: You see, when Thanos snapped, the gods had realized that I’ve failed them. I was cast out. Now I’m just a normal girl.

ANNE: Don’t underestimate yourself.

AQUA: I’m not underestimating myself! I’d still bet I can play… um… a game of ping pong better than the red-shirt-kid over there.

[She gestures at Apple Kid.]

ANNE: Listen, Kumatora was reluctant to join and didn’t even want to mention Thanos, Bowser was lost in the forest for five years, and Apple Kid, Paula, and Jeff were in deep space without knowing that their friends were dying.

SPRIG: And not to mention that you got all depressed and reclusive and moody, Anne.

ANNE: Not now Sprig! Listen. The point is that as Avengers, we can beat the odds! You can do it, too! C’mon. Whaddya say?

[Pause a beat]

AQUA: I can’t rejoin. I’m… I’m too good for you guys. Yeah. That’s it. Now shoo! You shouldn’t be in the presence of a former goddess!

ANNE: You’re right. C’mon guys. If you need us, we'll be in the Royal Hotel Ryde.

[Before the last of the Avengers even leave Aqua begins to wail and cry again.]

HOP POP: Now what?

ANNE: It’s okay guys. I know how she plays her cards. It’s all bluff and no tough. Trust me, she’ll come around eventually.

SPRIG: Anyway, we can plan how to find Squidward while we're in the hotel or something and stay a while. Besides, most of the people here are nice.

[A little eight year old girl stands outside her car as the Avengers walk by. She looks at Kumatora.]

GIRL: Look daddy, a homeless lady.

GIRL’S DAD: Stay close, sweetie. That’s the person the Avengers come to arrest.

KUMATORA: Don’t you guys recognize me, I’m Kumatora.

GIRL’S DAD: Oh boy this one’s lost her marbles.

GIRL: You’re not Kumatora. Kumatora is an Avenger and she isn’t fat and doesn’t smell like a wet dog.

KUMATORA: Ouch.

SPRIG: Well, I said most of the people.

GIRL: Daddy, look! It’s Sprig from TV! Can I take a picture with him?

GIRL’S DAD: Sure, sweetie.

[The girl and Sprig pose for a photo.]

SPRIG: Thanks, see you ‘round!

GIRL: Thanks for getting the crazy girl with the pink hair.

[Kumatora stares unbelievingly.]

CUT TO: INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

[Apple Kid and Bowser converse at a desk.

APPLE KID: We're going to need Aqua and Squidward if we're going to bring everyone back. She know more about some of the Infinity Stones than us. The plan is crazy. It involves time travel. It would've been easy, had those Pigmasks not taken the Phase Distorter.

BOWSER: What exactly are we trying to do here?

APPLE KID: The Phase Distorter took me back here from five years ago. We have the technology to go back in time and get back the Infinity Stones. It'll just take a while to build a new Phase Distorter.

BOWSER: Listen, Thanos is gone. We've got all the time we need to build a new Phase Distorter.

CUT TO: MOTHER PORKSHIP - DAY

[Porky Minch is in his machine, which acts as a throne in the back of a large, long room guarded by two Pigmask Colonels.]

[Four Pigmask Captains come in through the door and are carrying the Phase Distorter. Porky pushes his hair out of his eyes to confirm what he was seeing.]

PORKY: Where did you find that?

PIGMASK CAPTAIN: It was on the street in New Pork city. Apparently it belonged to some 'Apple Kid'.

PORKY: Apple Kid!? I know an Apple Kid! But... he came 10,000 years to the future five years ago, and took the Phase Distorter from then to now, and if he's still Apple 'Kid' and not Apple Young Adult. That means... Aha Ahahhahahahhaahah!...

PIGMASK COLONEL 1: What's he talkin' about?

PIGMASK COLONEL 2: I... have no idea.

PORKY: ahahaahahhahah! (cough) (cough) (wheeze) (wheeze) It means... Ahahaha ...I'm back in the time travel business.

[Fade to black]

CUT TO: GAS STATION STORE - NIGHT

[Aqua stares sadly at the door. She comes out from behind the cash register and picks out a box of chocolate from a nearby shelf. She goes out the door and locks the shop door.]

CUT TO: THE HOTEL LOBBY- NIGHT

AQUA: I'm Aqua, the ex-goddess from a few streets down. I'm looking for-

HOTEL CASHIER: Yeah, the other freaks are in room 62.

[Aqua runs to the room and rattles the doorknob violently. She runs back to the lobby after doing this a couple times.

AQUA: I think you left the door locked.

HOTEL CASHIER: If they didn't let you in, then you need a key card to get into the room.

AQUA: How can I get the key card?

HOTEL CASHIER: You'd need to get a different room until the people in room 62 leave.

AQUA: Can I get the key card for room 62 now?

HOTEL CASHIER: Legally, no. Now get out. You can come back in the morning to see if your freaks are done with their stay.

[Aqua sadly walks outside and lies under a bush. She begins to cry.]

CUT TO: BIKINI BOTTOM - NIGHT

[Squidward walks cautiously through an alleyway, as Patrick dives in and out of dumpsters and trash bins. Patrick fishes out an expired cup of yogurt. He dips his hand into the cup and sticks it back into his mouth.]

PATRICK: Mmm. Still fresh.

SQUIDWARD: You moron! We're getting nearer and nearer to Mrs. Puff every step we take and all you're doing is eating garbage!?

PATRICK: Well pretty much.

SQUIDWARD: Shh! Did you just hear that?

PATRICK: Hear what?

SQUIDWARD: I just heard that door close. This is the former site of the Krusty Krab... We should investigate.

[Squidward walks into the Peppy Plankton Sports Bar and Grill. All the lights are off. Mrs. Puff is sitting in a particularly dark corner.]

MRS. PUFF: Heh heh heh... Ahaha... Ahahhahaha!

SQUIDWARD: Oh what's so funny?

[Mr. Krabs walks in carrying an immobilized Patrick Star.]

MR. KRABS: I don't pay you to breathe, Squidward.

[Fade to black.]

CUT TO: HOTEL LOBBY - DAY

[Anne comes to the check-in desk.]

ANNE: Did a girl named Aqua come here last night?

HOTEL CASHIER: As a matter of fact yes. She wanted to see you and your friends up there. I'm not sure where she went to after she left.

ANNE: I know where she works. Thanks!

CUT TO: EXT. HOTEL

[In a nearby bush, Aqua is still sleeping.]

ANNE: Aqua, are you in there?

AQUA: Huh? Where am I?

ANNE: Why are you under a bush?

[Aqua sits up.]

AQUA: Under a... Oh, right! Can I rejoin? I brought you this.

[She hands Anne the box of chocolate. When Anne opens it she sees that several are missing. Anne pretends not to notice.]

[Anne pulls Aqua to her feet.]

ANNE: Congratulations. You're back on the team.

CUT TO: EXT. ROSALINA'S SPACE STATION - DAY

[The Space Station flies over the Pacific Ocean. Inside of the ship the Avengers are being fitted with SCUBA gear.]

HOP POP: Alright, so how many of you aren't SCUBA certified?

[Sprig, Anne, Jeff, and Paula raise their hands.]

ROSALINA: Please don't throw up during the descent. Everyone, brace yourselves!

[The Space Station plunges into the water and sinks quickly to the bottom.]

The Avengers step out from the station and onto the road leading to Bikini Bottom. They come to find the place a total wreck. Criminals run loose through the streets. Among wanted signs on a street lamp, Aqua sees a ransom for Mr. Squidward Tentacles. She motions to the others to see that it says to go to the Peppy Plankton Sports Bar and Grill. When they get there the place is deserted on the outside. They walk in to find Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff standing next to a table for two. Squidward and Patrick are tied up with their mouths taped to the chairs.]

MR. KRABS: Ah, it's you guys. I can tell you my life has only gotten better since I left you.

[Squidward motions for Bowser to give him his pocket knife. Bowser takes it out and throws it to Squidward, but since they're underwater, the knife only goes a few feet before sinking to the floor. Everyone stares unbelievingly at Bowser.]

MRS. PUFF: So, trying to play games in class are we?

MR. KRABS: We knew you'd come here for Squidward. This was all planned. Our Ransom for your blue friend here is...

KUMATORA (THROUGH REGULATOR): PK Freeze!

[Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff are stuck inside a mass of ice that came from Kumatora's hand. The Avengers untie Squidward and Patrick. They can now talk with their mouths untaped.]

SQUIDWARD: That was surprisingly easy.

[Mr. Krabs uses his claws to crack the ice. He and Mrs. Puff are now covered in frost.]

MR. KRABS: These claws aren't just for attracting mates!

SQUIDWARD: Get to somewhere safe - now! I don't care where it is!

[The Avengers, Squidward, and Patrick run towards the Space Station and are pursued by Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff. When they get to the Space Station the two villains follow them on. Mrs. Puff flops off when the station leaves the water, but Mr. Krabs corners Squidward, Aqua, Patrick, and Kumatora on the top of the Station.]

KUMATORA: Give up. You can never beat us as long as you've got those big meaty claws.

MR. KRABS: What did you just say, punk?

KUMATORA: BIG. MEATY. CLAWS!

[Squidward pushes Krabs off the Space Station. Kumatora jumps away to dodge him falling. "His Majesty's Theme" from Mother 3 plays quietly in the background.]

PATRICK: That music seems familiar.

AQUA: Yeah... but from where?

SQUIDWARD: You dimwits! That's the music those imbicile pig men play when they're going to -

[The music intensifies so nothing else can be heard. Aqua looks at Patrick and shrugs as Squidward tries to communicate over the music. The Mother Porkship comes into view from below.]

[Mr. Krabs is standing on top of it just beneath the helicopter propeller, holding a phone he used to call the Pigmasks for backup while they were underwater. The Porkship shoots at them as they fly into space, out of reach.]

ANNE: All right, now that we're safe, let's get some stuff cleared up, like why on Earth was Squidward tied up being held ransom?

SQUIDWARD: It was part of my job!

AQUA: You're job is to get caught?

PATRICK: No, we're assassinated.

SQUIDWARD: No, Patrick! Nobody's getting assassinated anytime soon. Listen, we were working undercover as rogue assassins in Bikini Bottom to whip it back into shape by getting rid of the villains who run it now. Everyone else in town's gone crazy or left.

KUMATORA: So are you in or not. We didn't get much talk in while we got you out of there.

SQUIDWARD: Oh puh-lease! I could've got out of there had you left me alone for five more minutes!

NESS: Are you in?

SQUIDWARD: (sigh) I'll do what you want, but only if I can go back to Bikini Bottom and live a normal, miserable existence after we fail. Patrick's in, too. He does whatever I do in the most annoying way possible.

MARIO: So that justa leaves Shulk to find.

APPLE KID: I'm pretty sure that I know where he is. While you were getting Kumatora, I did research on where he could be.

KUMATORA: And where do you think he is?

APPLE KID: In Tokyo.

NESS: Tokyo? Apple Kid, our headquarters are in Japan. Why would we go to Tokyo last?

BOWSER: I just figured we should work, uh... from the outside in... uh, y'know... hehe... heh...

KUMATORA: Why do we think he's in Tokyo, anyway?

APPLE KID: After Thanos happened, Shulk went insane. He was responsible for a series of murders worldwide. The most recent of these happened yesterday in Shibuya, a sub-city of Tokyo. It's been confirmed that it's him. They've got photos, fingerprints and everything. He killed the notorious criminal Tomura Shigaraki.

AQUA: (gasp) That's the hand guy!

KUMATORA: Why do we want to find him? Y'know, now that he's a psychotic killer?

APPLE KID: I need him because he knows more about the Infinity Stones than we do.

KUMATORA: What are you trying to do, exactly?

APPLE KID: We need to build a Phase Distorter large enough to transport us all once we get the team back. Shulk is needed as a guide to find the space stone.

KUMATORA: So we're doing the time travel thing again.

APPLE KID: Well, it's more of a... Yeah. Yeah we're totally doing the time travel thing again.

PATRICK: Hooray! We're clish!

SQUIDWARD: It's cliché, Patrick.

APPLE KID: Listen, let's just get down to the city and get Shulk.

[The Space Station descends from space to the city of Tokyo.]

KUMATORA: How are we finding Shulk?

APPLE KID: We landed just a few blocks from where Shulk stabbed Shigaraki to death. He can't be too far.

SPRIG: I don't feel safe anymore.

[The Mother Porkship flies overhead.]

SQUIDWARD: Guys! Hide!

[The group dashes into a restroom.]

SPRIG: So guys, that was a close one, huh?

[Muffled Screams can be heard. The lights go out and the ground shakes.]

SPRIG: Guys?

BOWSER: Sprig, I'm here. Get down.

KUMATORA: Why?

ANNE: Get down!

[The lights turn on and the Porkship blasts down the building. It collapses on top of the group. Anne, Sprig, Hop Pop, Lucas, Apple Kid, Bowser, Paula, Squidward, Ness, Pikachu, Patrick, Aqua, and Kumatora get up. Mario, Jeff, and Rosalina don't.]

ANNE: RUN!

[The group runs into a red painted shed. Inside the space has a low ceiling and is extremely dark.]

VOICE: Who do you follow?

PATRICK: I follow Squidward around a lot.

VOICE: No, who is your leader?

PATRICK: Anne, Ness, and Bowser seem to be of importance to the plot.

VOICE: I don't know what the heck you're trying to say.

KUMATORA: What the talking ice cream is trying to say is that we're the Avengers.

VOICE: The Avengers... like, the people who totally didn't save us five years ago?

KUMATORA: Yeah that'd be us.

VOICE: Go into the next room. My boss's been waiting to see you for years. He won't stop saying how much he's been wanting to "get equal" with you guys. I just thought it was stress induced delirium. C'mon.

[The lights turn on, revealing Nia as the voice. She is standing next to a staircase leading down.]

SPRIG: I'm just gonna...

[Sprig moves to the door leading back outside, but goes back in when two Pigmask Captains lead a squad of Pigmasks down the street, "His Majesty's Theme" playsagain.]

SPRIG: On second thought... Who's this uh... 'Boss' guy you were saying about?

NIA: Down the stairs.

[The stairs lead into an abandoned subway station. The group continues up a different staircase leading to a large, red painted room. Groups of people in red hoodies crowd around Shulk, who is in the back of the room. ]

KUMATORA: Shulk? What are you doing in an abandoned sunway?

SHULK: You came here?

ANNE: Yes, we came. You've got a lot of clearing up to do.

SHULK: Well, I may as well tell you what's going on. It'd be kinda anticlimactic to kill you without knowing what happened to me.

AQUA: You're killing us?

SHULK: Not yet. When you guys failed I was stuck under house arrest in Pennsylvania. All the people I had left died when you lost. That's the two things people are good at, dying and failing, isn't it?

[Lucas gets ready to use a PSI attack.]

HOP POP: Killing all those people isn't going to bring your friends back.

SHULK: Oh, there's more. I assembled a team over my travels, and when I came here, I killed a person claiming to be a 'Reaper'. It got me into a big argument with a guy named Sho Minamimoto.

SPRIG: Wait a second... Slow Minimum Moto

SHULK: Sho Minamimoto!

AQUA: Slow Manamin motto... ?

SHULK: Sho Minamimoto!

Patrick: Shower my... money-

SHULK: IT'S SHO MINAMIMOTO!!

SHULK: Anyway, this Sho Minamimoto was the highest ranking official of the Reapers left after the snap. He got me into this gang war. That's why I'm here with Nia and all these fools in red sweaters.

KUMATORA: What did you say about killing us earlier?

SPRIG Don't remind him!

SHULK: Yeah, about that...

[Shulk draws the Monado, still a powerful weapon when it doesn't power on.]

SHULK: Now... you will finally pay for failing. You robbed me of my friends and sanity. Now... prepare to-

[Lucas uses PK Love Omega on Shulk, knocking him unconcious. Nia and the gang members stare in disbelief before attacking the Avengers.]

APPLE KID: RUN! ... Oh and also take him.

[Apple Kid gestures at Shulk's unconcious body.]

[They go to the door, but Sho Minamimoto and two Reapers come in to block it. Sprig runs into him.]

SPRIG: Sooo... you're uh, hehehe, Sho Minamimoto, I... assume.

[Sho Minamimoto kicks Sprig away and wields a pistol.]

MINAMIMOTO: Attention all yoctograms! I've had enough of this. Surrender, Shulk or...

[He sees Kumatora and Hop Pop carrying Shulk's unconcious body.]

MINAMIMOTO: So zetta slow! Stealing my thunder right before a siege!?

[The Porkship comes down toward the building. As Sho Minamimoto continues to talk, the Porkship blasts the building. Everyone inside is blown to the wall as they try to run back to the station. Mr. Krabs, Hat Kid, Captain Grimes, and Sasha come down from the Porkship.]

CUT TO:

INT. SUBWAY STATION

NESS: We need to get back to the Space Station!

KUMATORA: We've still got Shulk!

[Mr. Krabs follows them down.]

MR. KRABS: This time, I brought reinforcements.

[Hat Kid, Grimes, and Sasha break down through the ceiling. Sasha goes after Anne, Sprig, Paula, and Patrick. Mr. Krabs goes after Squidward, Aqua, Ness, and Hop Pop. Hat Kid goes after Lucas, Kumatora, and Bowser.]

CUT TO: INT. SUBWAY STATION - WHERE HAT KID WAS HEADING

LUCAS: What happened, Hat Kid? Thanos is gone. You've got no reason to be doing this.

HAT KID: You took my one chance of getting home. Why should I stop hating you?

BOWSER: Killing us won't get the timepieces.

HAT KID: Why would I go running back to you? Just so we could all fail like we did five years ago?

BOWSER: We need a time traveling device-

KUMATORA: Just say time machine.

BOWSER: -We need a device that we can use to get the Infinity Stones from the past.

HAT KID: Are you implying that I help you?

BOWSER: If you were to help us, then we could get your timepieces back.

HAT KID: Really? Because that doesn't seem like your priority.

KUMATORA: Was it Thanos's priority?

BOWSER: Oh come on! Hat Kid, there's more going on here! Quit being apathetic to everyone else's problems. Forget the time pieces for just one day, please!

HAT KID: Wow. You didn't need to get all preachy, but it was pretty funny to watch. You do kinda have a point, so I'll join you and hate all of you at the same time.

KUMATORA: Good, so can I make all those time puns I wanted to make during that conversation?

HAT KID: No.

CUT TO: INT. SUBWAY STATION - WHERE MR. KRABS WAS HEADING

MR. KRABS: Yer all gonna pay for that little Squabble we had in Bikini Bottom. Yeh haven't seen nothin' of me power yet!

AQUA - CRYING: Don't hurt me! I was totally useless in that battle!

NESS: Stand down, Krabs. You're outmatched and you know it.

MR. KRABS: Are yeh callin' me delusional boy-o?

HOP POP: Not directly.

SQUIDWARD: Why did I get stuck with this group?

MR. KRABS: Yer all gonna be cryin' like the little blue-haired girl over there when I'm through with you.

[He points to Aqua.]

[Ness uses PSI Rockin' to attack Mr. Krabs. The ceiling of the subway station begins to collapse. Krabs loses his footing as the others run away and gets crushed.]

HOP POP: Never really liked that guy anyway.

CUT TO: INT. SUBWAY STATION - WHERE SASHA WAS HEADING

[Captain Grimes joins Sasha as they chase the group.]

ANNE: Sasha, what's gotten into you?

SASHA: Anne, why are you still with those horrible frogs?

ANNE: Oh c'mon, you have to admit that Grimes is worse than at least Sprig. I'd like to reason with you. We ca-

SASHA: We're done, Anne! There is no 'we' or 'us'! There hasn't been since Toad Tower!

PATRICK: I'm not sure what's happening, but I feel left out of the conversation.

[Patrick sees Sasha getting ready to attack the group and runs up to them.]

PATRICK: WAAAAIIIT! We're not! Cavemen! We have technology.

[Patrick takes out a cellphone and bangs it on Grimes's head until he gets knocked out and falls on Sasha, pinning her down.]

PATRICK: Run guys!

CUT TO: EXT. RUBBLE OF SHULK'S LAIR

[Minamimoto looks as Nia runs to the station.]

MINAMIMOTO: Those idiots will pay!

[He puts on his badly burned hat and stands up.]

CUT TO: STREET NEAR SPACE STATION - DAY

[The group rests Shulk's unconcious body on a couch.]

ANNE: Let's get outta here... before some other wakko comes to stop us.

KUMATORA: Too late. Two more are already coming.

[Nia walks toward the Space Station and the Porkship comes down above the area and darkens the sky.]

[As the Space Station begins to take off, Nia runs to it and jumps on.]

NIA: Wait! I'm here to help you! I'm not sure who you are, but I've got nowhere else to go at this point.

KUMATORA: We don't really have much of a choice, now that you're on the Space Station and we're being chased by a pig-lunatic inside of a giant airship.

[The Porkship uses grappling hooks to hang onto the Space Station. "His Highness's Theme" begins to play again. A large set of stairs comes from the Porkship, and Mecha Porkies roll a red carpet over it. Porky Minch, guarded by four Pigmask colonels comes from it to the Space Station.]

PORKY MINCH: Don't think you can escape me so easily. You pin-headed idiots! I'm always just one step ahead of you.

PATRICK: Who ya callin' pinhead?

KUMATORA: Porky, what do you want from us? There are no needles holding back a dragon anymore and the Infinity Stones are gone.

PORKY: Revenge is what I want from you. You all said you weren't my friends five years ago. You took the last chance I had on this new timeline. I was taken from my time (cough) (wheeze) (cough) (cough) to search for some eternity rocks that you idiots destroyed!

NIA: This guy can't be any more than a weak old man, can he?

PORKY: Oh, 'weak' the kitty says I am. (wheeze) (wheeze) Ahahaha haha! Let me fill you in on something, I'll never die.

NIA: Did you just call me 'kitty'?

[One of Porky's machine's legs pins down Nia while another one fends off Bowser and Jeff.]

PORKY: Even if I somehow wind up beaten...

[Porky uses PSI Counter to reflect Kumatora's PK Starstorm, Lucas's PK Love, Ness's PSI Rockin', and Paula's PK Fire.]

I'll still be alive.

[His machine attacks Squidward, Patrick, and Apple Kid.]

PORKY: Bet ya didn't know that, did ya?

LUCAS: Kumatora and I've beaten you on a different timeline, We'll do it again.

[Nia transforms into her blade form, breaking off the leg of Porky's machine that was holding her down.]

NIA: Here, now call me 'kitty' old man!

PORKY: With pleasure.

[Kumatora uses PK Ground to attack Porky's machine, making it topple over.]

SQUIDWARD: I think we did it.

[Porky's machine bursts back to its feet, blasting his opponents away.]

PORKY: I'll get back up no matter how hard you hit me! I'll beat you, even if we have to mindlessly pummel each other until you all collapse from exhaustion!

[Anne sees the red tube on top of Porky's machine.]

ANNE: Guys, I think that's its power source! If we could- AaaAAh!

[Porky's machine sweeps its claw, knocking Anne into Hop Pop, Sprig, and Squidward.]

AQUA: Oooh! I'm the only one left! Why am I the one with the important job! It isn't fair it isn't fair it isn't fair! It isn-

[While she jumps up and down in her tantrum, she makes the grounded Space Station tilt slightly, and Porky's machine stumbles a bit.]

AQUA: Over here, Pork guy!

[Aqua pushes furniture to the other side of the round Space Station and makes it turn. She runs to the other side. This makes the Station turn, and knocks everyone off balance, including Porky's machine.]

AQUA: Anne, NOW!

[Anne gets up and pulls off the tube. Red liquid spews all over everyone. Porky's machine powers down. As people slip off the space station, Aqua creates a pool in the crater of Shulk's lair to break their fall.]

AQUA: My powers! They're back!

PORKY: I'll never die, nor will I ever be beaten. You'll be seeing a lot more of me... (cough) (cough) it just seems my machinehas run out of power for the moment. After it's fixed, I swear I'll kill you!

[The Porkship lowers chains to pull Porky back into it.]

PORKY: Remember! I'll be back for you!

[Nia turns back into her driver form.]

AQUA: I can use my powers!

ANNE: That must mean... the gods considor you worthy now.

KUMATORA: Now... about driving this thing.

[After it sputters and drives in random directions, the Space Station goes into the air.]

CUT TO: (CONT'D)

EXT. THE SPACE STATION OVER A LARGE BODY OF WATER - DAY

SPRIG: Well this trip's been a fun and exciting carnival of property damage.

SHULK: Where am I?

NIA: Oh boy, he'll be mad.

SHULK: Where am I?

HOP POP: Shulk, what do you remember?

SHULK: Last thing I remember, I was going ahead to kill you.

NIA: Shulk, these people really aren't that bad. While you were passed out, they helped me fight off some Porky weirdo.

SHULK: They were entrusted with everything I held dear and they lost it.

AQUA: We're trying to get them back! Or... at least that's what Apple Kid said.

APPLE KID: We need you to do this!

SHULK: I needed you. That trumps what you said. I said we destroy the Stones, not protect them, and look where we are now! But we're the A-vengers. Not the Pre-vengers, right?

APPLE KID: I know how we can get all your friends back.

HOP POP: You're in now, whether you like it or not. You'd be jumping into about 2,000 feet of water if you tried to escape now.

SHULK: 2,000 feet of... What?

[He looks around to see that he's in the middle of nowhere.]

SHULK: Why... exactly am I in the middle of the ocean?

HOP POP: Well...

PATRICK: You're being taken back to HQ so we can ride in the time machine!

SHULK: Time... machine?

ANNE: Yeah, you missed a lot in five years.

APPLE KID: Our plan is to go back in time and get the Infinity Stones from before Thanos destroyed them and-

KUMATORA: We're doing the time thing again.

CUT TO: AVENGERS HQ - DAY

APPLE KID: Alright. After a good night's rest... for you guys at least... Here we go. We can get our plan into motion now that we've got something of a team.

BOWSER: I understand most of us have had some close encounter or association with at least one Infinity Stone.

PATRICK: I haven't.

BOWSER: That's not the point now.

APPLE KID: We know that the Reality Stone was in the Mani Mani Statue, the Power Stone Was in the Seven Needles, the Soul Stone was in the Spirit Realm, the Mind Stone was in Aqua's staff, the Space Stone was in the Monado, and the Time Stone was in Giygas.

BOWSER: Does anyone have anything to say about these stones?

NESS: Well, Giygas isn't really a stone. After the Devil's Machine was destroyed he became kind of an angry sludge demon sort of thing.

PATRICK: Is mayonnaise an Infinity Stone?

BOWSER: No Patrick, mayonnaise is not an Infinity Stone.

APPLE KID: Listen, if we split up into "teams", we can all be getting different Infinity Stones at the same time, but on different timelines.

ANNE: And how will we be time traveling?

APPLE KID: Come here.

[In the next room, a large platform with many moving parts around the edge is there.]

APPLE KID: Anne, Bowser and I were up all night building this. It should be ready to go by noon. I call it the Infinity Distorter.

NIA: Why?

APPLE KID: What do you mean?

NIA: Why d'ya call it an Infinity Distorter?

APPLE KID: Well, we're using it to get the Infinity Stones and our old Time Machine was called the Phase Distorter so...

NIA: So 'ts got nothin' to do with the thing's actual function?

APPLE KID: No... but it sure sounds cool doesn't it?

KUMATORA: Have to admit he's right that time.

APPLE KID: Oh, and when we go in, you'll need to wear one of those.

[Apple Kid points to reflective, stretchy bodysuits with hard metal helmets.]

NIA: You expect me to get into one o' those!?

BOWSER: Without the protection of an ordinary Phase Distorter, this one will slowly rip your molecules to shreds if you don't were a ridiculous silver leotard.

NIA: I'm leanin' towards the shredded molecules 'ere.

APPLE KID: We need to test if this thing even works before getting the Stones, though.

BOWSER: Who wants to try first?

[Lucas walks toward the others.]

LUCAS: I'll go.

APPLE KID: Come here, Lucas.

[Apple Kid shows Lucas a chunk of bluish rock.]

APPLE KID: This is Zexonite. It's an artificially created element, required for a time machine of the Phase Distorter series to work.

BOWSER: We can grind it up and put it into one of these.

[Bowser holds up a small remote-like object with a button and keyboard on top.]

BOWSER: We can automatically set the coordinates to each of the Infinity Stones prior to the start of the mission, and you can get to the next area in the coordinates by simply pressing the button on top.

APPLE KID: Remember... you have to wear the suits.

[Apple Kid pushes a button on the device he is holding and the suit goes over his body. They go around the bodies of the other Avengers.]

APPLE KID: It's Nanotech. You like it? Each one scans your body to fit you perfectly in under a second.

LUCAS: It smells funny in here.

KUMATORA: Your Nanotech puts this on really... snugly.

SPRIG: I can't walk.

[Sprig smiles.]

SPRIG: Or breathe.

[Bowser walks in holding vials of ground Zexonite.]

BOWSER: We've got enough for one round trip for each of us and three test runs.

[Bowser accidentally drops a vial and it shatters on the ground.]

BOWSER: Two... test runs.

APPLE KID: Anyway, are you ready Lucas?

LUCAS: Ready as I'll ever be, I guess.

APPLE KID: Step onto the Infinity Distorter, please.

CUT TO: INFINITY DISTORTER ROOM - DAY

[Anne is finishing up the machine.]

ANNE: Lucas! You're just in time. I'm just getting the last rough edges smoothed out.

LUCAS : Great! I'll be ready when you are.

ANNE: Sure thing.

[Bowser and Apple Kid walk into the room and hook up machinery to the platform. Lucas gets onto it.]

ANNE: You know what you're doing here, right?

BOWSER: Listen, we've never done time travel on this scale before. Either this is all a joke or none of it is.

LUCAS: Everything okay down their?

BOWSER: We're good! We're good.

ANNE: Okay. Here goes.

[Apple Kid covers his ears as Bowser powers on the circuits attached to the platform and Lucas pushes the button on his remote. Lucas disappears. Nia, Kumatora, Sprig, Hop Pop, and Patrick walk in.]

NIA: So... from what I saw... yeh either just got it right, or yeh just brutally killed a child.

CUT TO: LUCAS'S HOUSE - DAY

[Lucas's time travel suit disappears as he lands in his yard. He goes to the window and sees a younger him, Claus, and Hinawa eating dinner together.]

CLAUS: You're the best, mom.

HINAWA: I love you too.

[Lucas begins to cry just before being warped back to the present.]

NIA: The headlines 'll be "Two Kids 'n a Turtle-

[Lucas reappears on the platform.]

BOWSER: See, it works. Time travel!

NIA: So if it works, then shouldn't we just go back to find a baby Thanos 'n then...

[She motions to show Thanos being killed.]

BOWSER: First of all, that's horrible.

NIA: Oh c'mon! This is Thanos we're talkin' about 'ere!

BOWSER: Second, it doesn't work like that.

APPLE KID: When we go back with the machine we have now, the present becomes the past, and the past becomes our future...

[Patrick drools absentmindedly.]

APPLE KID: ...so therefore it cannot change the present because it is our past.

AQUA: I don't understand a word you said.

APPLE KID: I just debunked the Butterfly Effect.

AQUA: I like butterflies.

APPLE KID: Let's just get going to the mission.

BOWSER: We all need to have teams to get the different Infinity Stones.

APPLE KID: First off, I thinks it's safe to say some of us are better fit to get certain Infinity Stones.

LUCAS: I should go to pull the last needle and get the Power Stone.

APPLE KID: You've got the right idea. Shulk would probably be best off getting the Monado and Space Stone.

AQUA: So I'd be getting the mind stone?

APPLE KID: Correct.

NESS: I should be getting the Time Stone in Giygas

APPLE KID: Yes!

PAULA: I'll get the Reality Stone in the Mani Mani Statue.

BOWSER: Now that just leaves the soul stone... in the brink of existence where spirits reside.

KUMATORA: Not it.

HAT KID: I'll go.

SPRIG: Me too.

BOWSER: If we time this right, the Reality, Mind, and Space Stones will all be in Fourside at one time.

APPLE KID: Oh, and one more thing. Just for safety, I'll have two of my friends from a few years back watching our missions on a monitor. They'll be able to message us via built in headphones in our helmets.

[Bratty and Catty enter the room.]

BRATTY: Hi! We're, like, those friends you heard about just now.

CATTY: It'll be just like watching a movie, but like, if we don't pay attention you die and stuff.

KUMATORA: Oh God it's these two again.

BOWSER: There's an unfinished prototype Phase Distorter in their van outside. It isn't in good working condition, but in case of emergencies, they can use it to help us.

CUT TO: EXT. THE INFINITY DISTORTER - DAY

BOWSER: You know your teams, you know your missions.

ANNE: No slipups, no redos.

APPLE KID: Let's get this done.

KUMATORA: See you in a minute.

[The Avengers push the buttons on their devices.]

CUT TO: THE CAVE OF THE PAST

[Ness and Apple Kid teleport to the entrance to Giygas's lair. Their time travel suits disappear from their bodies.]

NESS: Once we're in there, you're gonna see a lot of intestine looking things on the ground. Walk on them, and then there'll be a giant eyeball with my head in the middle. That's the Devil's Machine. I'm pretty sure the stone is in the center, but I don't know how to get into it.

APPLE KID: We can find a way.

NESS: Oh, yes. Porky Minch will be there, back when he called himself Pokey. DON'T LET HIM TURN OFF THE MACHINE.

APPLE KID: Okay. Let's go in.

[When they go in, they see Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo as robots talking to Pokey.]

POKEY: Ness, are you surprised?

NESS: We need to get around them without being seen.

APPLE KID: I've got a better idea.

[Apple Kids runs over to the Devil's Machine and pushes over the four robots, who aren't able to get back up.]

POKEY: And who do you think you are?

APPLE KID: You don't remember me? Apple Kid?

POKEY: Oh, right. You're that grubby looking kid who I just stole The Phase Distorter from.

[Apple Kid glances at Ness and motions for him to get the Infinity Stone from Giygas.]

[Ness goes to the Devil's Machine and tries to find a way inside of the giant Ness head. He eventually goes into it through the bottom. Inside of the machine, writhing tentacles grab onto Ness and he has to constantly shake them off. Ness glances through the Machine's translucent membrane.]

POKEY: And what kind of fertilizer do you use to make your corn so sweet?

APPLE KID: Well it's not the fertilizer, it's really the-

[Ness continues through the Machine. He gets to the center of the machine. In a large, bubble like object, the Time Stone is being harnessed to the machine.]

NESS - HUSHED: Yessss!

[Ness reaches into the bubble, and gets shocked with electricity.]

NESS: Ouch!

[Ness takes a deep breath before reaching in again and pulling out the Stone. The whole time he has an anguished expression on his face. He bursts out of the Devils Machine.]

NESS: Apple Kid! I got it.

[Pokey's spider machine knocks the stone onto the ground.]

POKEY: You think I'm an idiot?

CUT TO: FOURSIDE - DAY

[Bowser, Aqua, Paula, Nia, Hop Pop, Squidward, Shulk, and Patrick teleport there.]

[Aqua, Shulk, Mario, Ness, Paula, Jeff, Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Krabs, Sandy, and Poo are there, as seen in the first Avengers Movie. Bowser flies down in the Clown Car with the Mani Mani Statue.]

EVIL BOWSER: Look how pathetic you are, all looking like a team, taking a stand where-

[Bowser gives himself a facepalm, as he is embarrassed of his old evil ways.]

HOP POP: Shulk, Nia, and I can get the Space Stone. Aqua, Squidward, and Patrick can go for the Mind Stone. Bowser, you can get the Reality Stone, and also, you can smash a few things along the way.

[The Avengers begin to split up.]

BOWSER: I probably shouldn't be doing this but...

[Bowser sprays a pathetically small jet of fire onto the ground.]

BOWSER: Rawr.

[Bowser steps on a bike, which barely bends.]

BOWSER: Grrr.

CUT TO: EXT. MONOTOLI BUILDING BALCONY - DAY

[Bowser and the Nomu are being captured by the past Avengers, the past Aqua and Jeff aren't there. Paula, Hop Pop, Aqua, Nia, Squidward, Patrick, and Shulk peer through the doorway.]

SQUIDWARD: Looks like things are getting wrapped up here.

PAULA: How do we get there without freaking out the Avengers from the past?

SHULK: I'm holding the Monado, but where's Aqua's staff?

AQUA: Oh, that's easy.

CUT TO: STREET IN FOURSIDE- DAY

[Aqua from the past is fighting chain chomps with Jeff, and her staff suddenly disappears.]

PAST AQUA: Huh?

CUT TO: EXT. MONOTOLI BUILDING BALCONY - DAY

[Aqua's staff appears in her hand.]

AQUA: See, I got my Staff, and nobody even got hurt.

[Past Aqua and Jeffs' screams can be heard loudly.]

AQUA: I'm sure it's nothing.

[Nia picks up the staff and bangs it on the wall.]

NIA: Now how d' we get the Infinity Stone out from this thing?

AQUA: No no no! That's not how you do it!

[Shulk walks in through the door.]

PAST SHULK: Is that... me?

CUT TO: THE LAST NEEDLE UNDER NEW PORK CITY

[The Masked Man prepares to pull the needle. Kumatora jumps on him.]

KUMATORA: Lucas! Quick! Get to the needle!

[Lucas grasps the Franklin Badge on his shirt and runs to the needle. The Masked Man spreads the wings on his back and goes in front of Lucas.]

KUMATORA: Lucas! Use PK Love! Destroy him!

LUCAS: I can't do it knowing it's Claus!

KUMATORA: Lucas, even if you don't kill the Masked Man, Claus will still be dead when we get back!

[Lucas prepares to fight the Masked Man and takes a deep breath.]

CUT TO: EXT. A LARGE MOUNTAIN FLOATING IN THE SPIRIT REALM

[Hat Kid, Anne, and Sprig teleport there.]

ANNE: The Infinity Stone is supposed to be on the peak of this place.

HAT KID: I bet that old toad doesn't have to climb a mountain.

SPRIG: Technically Hop Pop's a frog.

HAT KID: I don't care he eats bugs, what's the difference.

SPRIG: Ya really wanna know?

HAT KID: Why not.

SPRIG: First of all, the length of a frog's legs in relation to its body size is...

CUT TO: THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN - DAY

SPRIG: And those are all the differences between frogs and toads.

ANNE: Oh good.

HAT KID: Phew!

SPRIG: All the differences relating to the muscular system. A frog has a series of-

HAT KID: Hey, Sprig! What's over there!

SPRIG: You expect that to work!

ANNE: No, really! There's something coming towards us.

[Kai of Kung Fu Panda 3 comes from the shadows.]

ANNE: What's your problem?

KAI: I tried to get a hold of the Infinity Stones myself. I failed. Now I'm cursed to pay the price, and guard what I can never have.

[Anne looks down a sheer drop between two pillars. At the bottom a round, flat slab of stone is there.]

KAI: In order to get the stone, you must lose that which you most love. A soul... for a soul.

HAT KID: Does he mean one of us has to...

[The three sit down on a fallen pine trunk to think.]

CUT TO: INT. MONOTOLI BUILDING - DAY

[Bowser walks up to Seymour Skinner and goes to take the Mani Mani Statue from him as he hauls it away.]

SKINNER: Delightfully devilish, Seymour.

BOWSER: And where do you think you're going?

SKINNER: I need to take this statue and put it somewhere safe so no one can use it for evil.

BOWSER: You used it for evil in the future.

SKINNER: You're from the...

BOWSER: Yes.

SKINNER: You're that guy from the Krusty Burger commercial.

BOWSER: No, I'm from the future.

SKINNER: Oh egads!

BOWSER: Give me the statue for your own good.

SKINNER: Never!

BOWSER: I don't want to do this.

SKINNER: You'll never get this statue from me!

BOWSER: You asked for it.

[Bowser breathes fire, and Skinner throws the statue to block it. The Reality Stone falls from the Statue as it shatters. Bowser goes and picks it up.]

BOWSER: Thanks Skinner. King P. will be very displeased in you.

SKINNER: He really is from the future!

CUT TO: THE BALCONY OF THE MONOTOLI BUILDING - DAY

PAST SHULK: Stay back!

SHULK: I come in peace.

AQUA: I won't hurt you!

PAST SHULK: Aqua, Paula? You're here too!?

AQUA: I can explain! Well... Shulk can, I think at least.

[Spongebob walks in.]

SPONGEBOB: You're from the future?

SQUIDWARD: Yes.

SPONGEBOB: What am I going to say next?

SQUIDWARD: Something moronic.

SPONGEBOB: Wooooow.

PAST NESS: These people think they're us?

PAST SHULK: Get away. We need to get away.

PAST SQUIDWARD: Wait… Where’s Bowser? [Past Bowser comes to the hall and attacks the Past Avengers, who fall off the balcony. Shulk drops the Monado.]

NIA: Oh no…

[Past Bowser grabs onto the Avengers and calls for Bowser Jr. to bring down his airship. The Avengers are thrusted into the ship’s cargo hold with their mouths and arms bound. Bowser also picks up the Monado.]

PAST BOWSER: I’m not sure how you guys doubled, or why you’ve got a cat and a frog with you, but I can beat the Avengers a second time.

[He locks them into the room and removes their time-travel gear.]

CUT TO: INFINITY DISTORTER ROOM - DAY

[Bratty and Catty are by the monitor. Bratty is sleeping and Catty is eating a chocolate bar. Catty looks and sees Bowser driving the airship through the monitor and shakes Bratty awake.]

BRATTY: Hello?

CATTY: Is everything, like, okay up there?

CUT TO: AIRSHIP CONTROLS

[Bowser looks at the suits. Catty's voice is blaring through the speakers in the helmets.]

CATTY: IS ANYBODY THERE!?

[Bowser crushes the helmets with his foot. It gets covered in Zexonite dust. Bowser scrapes it into a cup.]

BRATTY: We gotta, like, help them!

CUT TO: AIRSHIP CARGO HOLD

SQUIDWARD - TAPED MOUTH: So... I was a restaurant cashier and then an assassin. What are you guys's origin stories?

HOP POP - TAPED MOUTH: I started revolutions against my government.

NIA - TAPED MOUTH: I had to eat my dead sister. You don't know what suffering is.

CUT TO: EXT. BOWSER'S AIRSHIP IN SPACE

[The airship nears Thanos's Sanctuary Ship.]

CUT TO: INT. SANCTUARY SHIP

[Thanos in all his armor is waiting at a docking station. Bowser's airship lands next to him.]

THANOS: Your mission...

BOWSER: Yes, I failed... but...

[Bowser Jr. throws the immobilized Avengers in front of Thanos.]

BOWSER: There were two sets of Avengers there.

THANOS: Impossible.

BOWSER: What should I do with them, Great Titan?

THANOS: Take them to the lab. The doctor should have some answers.

CUT TO: INFINITY DISTORTER ROOM - DAY

[Catty is chewing on a chocolate bar nervously at the van while talking to Bratty.]

CATTY: I have, like, no idea what to do right now. Do you know how to work this?

BRATTY: No, but I'm sure it won't work without Zexonite. We can't come back, so it seems like the other obvious choice is that the others use the last of their Zexonite to get to the airship and like, be trapped in the past forever and stuff.

CATTY: This is, like, totally off topic, but I kinda wish I could go to the past with them. Then I could finally find out what a Dodo bird tastes like.

BRATTY: Catty, they went to like, just eight years ago- WAIT! FOCUS! I'm going to call them.

[Bratty walks toward the monitor. Zoom in on the section of the the monitor where the camera in Ness's helmet is swallowed up by Giygas.]

BRATTY: Ness and Apple Kid are trapped and about to die without their helmets to contact us, too!

[Catty walks to the monitor.]

CATTY: We are, like, the worst at being safety monitors, but don't worry. I have, like, a totally awesome solution.

[Catty picks up the microphone to contact the Avengers.]

CATTY: Hi guys, like, Ness, Apple Kid, and all the other people who went to Fourside who I don't know how to count in my head and I don't even remember all their names are going to die. Bye.

CUT TO: THE LAST NEEDLE

LUCAS: Claus, I know you're in there.

[The Masked Man fires a bolt of lightning at Lucas.]

LUCAS: Claus, you don't have to do this.

[The Masked Man hits Lucas down with his sword.]

KUMATORA: Fight back Lucas!

[The Masked Man fires a bolt of lightning at Kumatora, knocking her unconcious.]

LUCAS: Claus, please. I don't want to fight!

[The Masked Man uses PK Love, which Lucas uses PSI Counter to reflect. The Masked Man flies backwards.]

LUCAS: No! Claus! Not again...

[The Masked Man gets back up and heads to the needle, which Lucas runs to. Lucas is about to pull the needle when Catty's message plays. He throws off his headset and is forced to wrestle the Masked Man off the needle so he can't pull it. As they roll away from the needle, the Masked Man's Mask falls off, revealing Claus's face with sunken eyes and matted hair. Lucas begins to cry.]

CUT TO: SPIRIT REALM

ANNE: That which you most love, huh? "A soul for a soul".

HAT KID: So one of us has to die to get this stone.

SPRIG: Let me do it.

ANNE: Wait, no! Hat Kid! Please, you've gotta have some trick up your sleeve to help us now! Right?

HAT KID: I'm useless here. For the first time, there's nothing I can do.

SPRIG: Let me go.

ANNE: No! There's gotta be another way! I'll go!

HAT KID: I would go, but it has to be someone you love to die. Gee, after what I did, you've got all the reason to hate me.

SPRIG: We don't hate you.

HAT KID: So I should die?

ANNE: No! No. That's not what we meant.

[Catty's message blares from their headsets.]

HAT KID: What the?

[Sprig runs to the cliff face.]

ANNE: No!

CUT TO: THE CAVE OF THE PAST

POKEY: Now look what you've done! That stone was the one thing keeping Giygas in one piece!

[The ground shakes, and begins to tear apart, revealing a dark red vortex with Giygas in the center.]

NESS: Get the stone!

[Pokey picks it up.]

POKEY: Not so fast.

[Apple Kid attacks his machine, while Ness uses PSI Rockin' to make it collapse.]

POKEY: Why do you even want the Stone from me?

APPLE KID: We're from the future.

POKEY: Great, me too.

NESS: No, we mean from the future where you're old.

APPLE KID: A titan named Thanos wiped out half the life in the Universe, and we're trying to undo that.

POKEY: That makes just no sense at all!

APPLE KID: We know!

CUT TO: THANOS'S SANCTUARY SHIP

[Bowser Jr. Throws the Avengers into a dark laboratory. Footsteps can be heard in the backround.]

SQUIDWARD: This isn't completely terrifying at all.

[The footsteps get closer until a figure can be seen getting closer to the group from behind an operating table. The figure walks out of the shadows and reveals herself to be Dr. Alphys.]

ALPHYS: Don't worry, I'm here to help.

AQUA: Dr. Alphys?

ALPHYS: Oh, thank you. I forgot. I'm Dr. - wait, how did you know my name?

NIA: We're from the future. 'm pretty sure that I'm just 's confused as you are, just 'n different fields.

ALPHYS: The future! Incredible! Just- oh wait, if you know about me you're probably wondering why I'm here. A few months after I got to the surface, I was captured by this titan Thanos, along with all my "work", as he called it.

HOP POP: Work?

ALPHYS: For those of you who dont know... I did a few experiments on the bodies of monsters. In short, they melted together and became deformed and barely sentient. They were living with their families happily for a while, but Thanos's goons took them onto the ship. They found which ones could fight, and the ones that couldnt... (sigh)... they killed them.

[Alphys unties the Avengers.]

PAULA: Wait... if "work" means anything you experimented on... that means there's at least one more monster in this lab...

SQUIDWARD: Oh no!

VOICE: OHHHH YESSSSS!

[Multicolored disco lights illuminate the room and spin. They reveal Mettaton EX at the back of the room.]

METTATON: Behold, darlings, everyone's favorite slave of Thanos! Myself, of course.

AQUA: Please don't kill us!

METTATON: Kill you? Oh heck no! I'm just as trapped as you are, beauties.

SQUIDWARD: You put up disco lights in a laboratory just so that you could tell the next experiment subjects that you're trapped here too?

METTATON: Never underestimate the power of an entrance, darling.

[Footsteps can be heard coming down the stairs to the lab.]

ALPHYS: Quick, hide!

[The Avengers dart behind a refrigerator full of samples. Squilliam Fancyson enters the room.]

SQUILLIAM: I heard you talking as I passed by the door. Not befriending the test subjects, are we, Alphys?

ALPHYS: No, you see... I was... feeling... of that... I...

[Behind the table, a white substance drips onto Aqua's head. She feels it and sees it drip off her hand.]

AQUA - WHISPERING: Eww!

[Even more of the liquid drips down onto her. She looks up to see Endogeny staring down at her. Aqua screams and Endogeny runs away.]

SQUILLIAM: What was that?

SQUIDWARD - WHISPERING: We need to look like we're still captured!

[Hop Pop sees duct tape in a cabinet under the table.]

HOP POP: I've got an idea.

[Squilliam walks behind the table and sees the Avengers with their mouths and limbs crudely bound with one piece of duct tape.]

SQUILLIAM: The only thing keeping them imprisoned is a single strip of duct tape!?

ALPHYS: Well... uh... yes, but um...

SQUILLIAM: I always love how unconventional your torcher methods are, Alphys.

ALPHYS: Oh, thank you. It's mostly Mettaton who comes up with the ideas, though.

SQUILLIAM: Thanos wants some research done on these peoples' cells. He wants to know if these people really are from the future.

[Squilliam leaves the room. Alphys waits until she is sure that Squilliam is gone to free the Avengers.]

ALPHYS: That was close.

AQUA: What was that thing on the ceiling?

ALPHYS: Oh, that was Endogeny. One of my... experiments. It's one of six "amalgamates" on this ship. They look scary, pretty terrifying actually, but they don't want to hurt anybody.

[Endogeny, the three Memoryheads, Reaperbird, and Lemonbread come out from the shadows.]

ALPHYS: This hurts because... they got taken here... one of them killed... right after they were reunited with their families.

[Endogeny sniffs Nia.]

NIA: They're not that bad once yeh get used to 'em.

ALPHYS: Mettaton and I have been planning how to get... all... of us... out of here. Thanos has been bringing together everyone he can find who will further his cause to destroy half of all organisms.

SHULK: Well who else is here?

ALPHYS: Aside from Thanos there's Squilliam, a whole army of Starmen, some "League of Villains" thing, and he's apparently looking for some Piggy?... Pucky?... Munch?... guy.

NIA: Porky Minch? Yeah, they got together 'n had a jolly good time erasin' the existence of trillions seven years from now.

[A voice blares from the ship's intercom.]

MECHANICAL VOICE: Prisoners whirr in the lab m-m-m-m-must blip be escorte-ed-ed to the memory cham-b-b- memory chamber. H-help beeep will be sen-n-nt.

ALPHYS: Hide guys! These things can move across the ship in the blink of an eye, but they're programmed machines, and they'll only know you're there if they see you.

[Everyone finds a hiding place besides Aqua, who glances around nervously in search of a hiding spot. Three Starmen come through the door.]

STARMAN 1: Target det-t-t-whir-t-ected.

STARMAN 2: Acquiring blip-blip-blip -iring-iring-ring-ing-ng

[The Starmen grab her and pull her away.]

CUT TO: EXT. AVENGERS HQ - DAY

[Bratty and Catty are trying to get the Phase Distorter II to work.]

CATTY: Bratty, we don't know how to drive this thing, and where the others are even being taken to.

BRATTY: I'm sorry! Should I, like, let them die and stuff!?

CATTY: No, no... sorry. Carry on.

BRATTY: Who am I kidding? We're hopeless. We let everyone down. If you have any ideas, just spit them out.

[Catty's ears perk up.]

CATTY: I think I have a plan.

CUT TO: SPIRIT REALM

[Anne stops Sprig from jumping off the cliff, and Sprig uses his tongue to push her away and keep running. Anne trips him and tries to run to the cliff, but Sprig leaps onto her and knocks her over. They both tumble off the cliff. Sprig uses his tongue to grab a rock near the cliff face.]

SPRIG: Anne! Let me go! You're the hero! You've been the one saving me this whole time!

ANNE: Let me go. You're the reason why I went on this whole adventure. You're the reason I'm the hero I am.

[Sprig anchors Anne to the cliff with rope in his vest and prepares to let go, but Anne points to the top of the cliff. Hat Kid is preparing to jump.]

ANNE: Hat Kid! No!

[It's too late and Hat Kid crashes to the ground as Sprig lets go of the rock in shock. Kai smiles and everything goes white. Anne and Sprig wake up in a pool of water. Anne has the Infinity Stone in her hand.]

ANNE: "That which you most love." She really did care about us all along.

[Sprig looks at the Infinity Stone with a loathing expression.]

SPRIG: I just let her die. Just like that... she's gone.

[Sprig starts to cry.]

ANNE: C'mon. Let's go home.

[They teleport away.]

CUT TO: CAVE OF THE PAST

[Pokey waves the Time Stone mockingly at Ness and Apple Kid.]

POKEY: Catch me if you can!

[Ness uses PSI Rockin' to attack Pokey. His machine spins out of control.]

APPLE KID: This guy's bluffing. He's really pretty weak.

NESS: Well that's Pokey Minch for you. All we've gotta do is beat up that machine he's, well, trying to ride, and that Stone's as good as ours.

GIYGAS: N...e...s...s...

APPLE KID: What about the complete embodiment of evil sucking us into the depths of oblivion?

NESS: Eh... We'll live.

GIYGAS: I feel g...o...o...d...

[Ness uses PSI Rockin' on Pokey's machine and Apple Kid snaps off two of its legs. The machine begins to short circuit and it powers off.]

POKEY: Ness! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! Here's the eternity rock! Take it! TAKE IT!!

[Ness takes the Time Stone.]

APPLE KID: Thanks.

[They teleport away.]

CUT TO: FINAL NEEDLE

[Claus electrocutes Lucas as they lie embracing in the dust. Lucas cries more, and tries to attack.]

LUCAS: Please! Claus! I know you're still in there somewhere!

[Claus punches Lucas in the face twice, causing his nose to bleed.]

LUCAS: Claus! No!

[Claus stabs Lucas's stomach with his sword.]

LUCAS: NO!

[Lucas violently blasts Claus off the cliff with PK Love. He stares at his hands in horror, falls to his knees, and cries. Claus's sword is still lodged in his stomach. Still crying, Lucas hobbles toward the needle, grabs Kumatora's unconcious body, and pulls the needle. Everything flashes white, and Aeolia is in front of him with a cup of tea.]

AEOLIA: Hello, dear. It seems you pulled the final needle, and a second time. I must say your skills have improved. You were 10 minutes faster than on the last timeline. You did get an awful bashing, though.

[Lucas looks down at the gaping hole in his stomach being healed by Aeolia's PSI.]

AEOLIA: I'm afraid I can't give you the Stone this time 'round, though.

LUCAS: What!? Why!? I killed my brother a second time to get this stone!

AEOLIA: You see, the first time you pulled the needle, it was a part of our reality. Our reality is like a long thread, held together by the six Infinity Stones in perfect balance.

[Aeolia models this.]

AEOLIA: But, should an Infinity Stone be taken from the past, the thread will fray, opening an alternate reality of what would have happened without the stone.

[Kumatora enters the area.]

KUMATORA: True, but if we can return the Stone at the exact moment it was taken, the alternate reality would be closed and destroyed.

[Lucas stares at her in awe.]

KUMATORA: You learn a thing or two when you're raised by Magypsies

AEOLIA: Perhaps I've taught you too well, Kumatora. I'll give you the Stone, but you have to return them all. My reality depends on it.

[Aeolia gives Lucas the Stone.]

LUCAS: We will! Thank you!

CUT TO: EXT. AVENGERS HQ - DAY

[Catty is talking on her phone.]

BRATTY: Like, who'd ya call for help?

CATTY: Ssh! It's the principal of U.A. High school... yeah... u-huh... yep... no, not that... yes, totally.

[Catty hangs up.]

BRATTY: U.A.!? The last hero school after the L.O.V. purge in 2011?

CATTY: Why do you know so much about this?

BRATTY: I'm a huge fan of the remaining superheroes, that's why I let Apple Kid make us Avengers nine years ago. How do you know the pro heroes?

CATTY: Yeah, my sister, who tried to get us the reality stone, she got to know that Deku kid while studying that weird freakazoid Mani Mani Statue. He gave her his phone number and U.A.'s. She gave those numbers to me.

BRATTY: That's... so... AWESOME!

CATTY: The point is that the pro heroes and local police are heading to our area to help us.

CUT TO: INT. MEMORY CHAMBER

[Squilliam, Himiko Toga, Bowser, and Thanos are in a small, cramped room. The Starmen strap Aqua into a machine. Wires are hooked to her head and tubes with needles are stuck all over her body. Himiko Toga is there, and sucks large amounts of her blood with her machine, and Squilliam slaps her.]

SQUILLIAM: Do we have to let this crazy woman in?

THANOS: She seems immature on the outside, but I believe you will find her powers intriguing.

[A Starman Deluxe puts its tentacles around Aqua's head to power on the machine. Thanos watches a replay of himself snapping, as seen by Aqua. Squilliam Fancyson, Himiko Toga, and Bowser sit alongside him.]

SQUILLIAM: Master, in seven years... you... you...

THANOS: I did it.

SQUILLIAM: You're from the future, eh? How'd ya get here?

[Aqua struggles.]

SQUILLIAM: Ahuha-ha-huha! Struggle all ya want. With the help of old Starry here, this machine can access your memory, and manipulate your mind to tell your darkest secret. Master, before I find the information, would you mind if I had a little fun?

THANOS: Do what you want, but make it quick.

SQUILLIAM: Oh boy, ahuh-aha-ha! We're gonna have some fun. First, what's your shoe size?

AQUA: Seven.

SQUILLIAM: How many times did you walk by my house?

AQUA: Uh... none, I think

SQUILLIAM: How much do you weigh?

AQUA: 116 pounds.

[Toga happily drinks Aqua's blood from her armor like soda.]

BOWSER: This... is getting creepy.

SQUILLIAM: What is your worst deed, your deepest, darkest sin. The thing that you will regret for the rest of your life.

[Aqua struggles violently.]

AQUA: So... seven years before 2025, I was at a sleepover with Bratty, Catty, and Paula, and then Bratty brought home this tub full of ice cream, and she was all like, "don't eat this because it's my ice cream", and then when everyone else was asleep, I went downstairs and ate all the ice cream... (sniffle) ...and then... (sniffle) (sob) ...I blamed it on Catty... (sob) (sniffle) (sob) ...I blamed it on Catty!

BOWSER: Just ask her the real question already!

SQUILLIAM: Okay, okay. How did you get here from the future?

AQUA: I-I... used Zexonite in a machine to get here... I don't understand it... lots of... buttons... and science...

SQUILLIAM: And why exactly did you come here?

AQUA: Half... Universe... is gone... gotta getthe... getthe... get the Stones to bring everyone back...

[Toga gleefully sips the last of Aqua's blood.]

THANOS: Zexonite...

SQUILLIAM: Certain asteroids are made of it. It seems to be able to manipulate reality when highly refined and then combusted.

BOWSER: That must be this dust I found on their suits.

[Bowser shows Thanos the ground Zexonite he put in a cup. Aqua struggles angrily. As Thanos is about to leave the room, Aqua creates a wall of water to push him into the wall. This short circuits the machine and Starmen. Aqua takes the Monado, the Zexonite dust, now purple mush, and her staff from Thanos.]

BOWSER: Kill her!

THANOS: No, let the idiot go, but bring me more of this "Zexonite". If they get all six stones back, the balance I created and the Universe itself will be in jeopardy.

TOGA: I have an idea! Get the Zexonite! I know how I can get the Avengers to bring me right to the present! and then I'll bring you guys there afterwards!

SQUILLIAM: And how are you going to go home with the Avengers? Are they just going to invite a villain over?

TOGA: Ahaha! That's where my quirk comes in! Do you ever wonder why I drink all that blood?

BOWSER: 'Cause you're a perv.

[To the horror of the others in the room, Toga strips naked and shapeshifts into fully-clothed Aqua.]

TOGA: This is my quirk. After drinking someone's blood, I can take their form and their powers.

SQUILLIAM: That's actually a good plan. All you've got to do is keep Aqua's form and get to the Avengers before the real Aqua does.

[Aqua-Toga smiles.]

CUT TO: ALPHYS'S LAB

[The remaining Avengers emerge from their hiding places.]

SQUIDWARD: They got Aqua!

NIA: 'N what's this "Memory Chamber" they were talkin' about?

ALPHYS: It's where they extract memories from organisms to gather information about their enemies. The process is based on a machine run by the newest technology combined with the Starmens' ancient evil essence, oh God that sounded way less stupid in my head.

PAULA: Well if they're using the dark arts on Aqua shouldn't we, y'know, find her?

ALPHYS: Yes, but this ship is the size of a landmass, and millions of Starmen, Krakens, and who knows what else are roaming the halls. If we leave, we wouldn't last a minute out there.

PAULA: We should at least try.

SHULK: Enough people already died in our Tokyo excursion.

NIA: Not to mention she saved 'r lives there.

PATRICK: I'm thirsty!

HOP POP: Let's go save Aqua!

[Everyone looks at Squidward, expecting an inspiring line.]

SQUIDWARD: I'm not risking my life for that idiot.

[Nia grabs Squidward and takes him into the hall.]

NIA: Yes you are!

ALPHYS: I guess I'm coming, too!

METTATON: Why not.

[As soon as they turn the bend from the lab, a bionic kraken blocks the passageway, and thrashes against the walls while spraying fire.]

[Paula uses PK Freeze to temporarily stop it, but it breaks out as soon as the Anengers pass it. Paula freezes it again.]

PAULA: We gotta run! This won't hold him for long!

[The kraken begins to break free. Hop Pop grabs it with his tongue and Shulk, Mettaton, and Nia finish the job.]

METTATON: Glad that's all over.

[Mr. Compress appears behind them.]

MR. COMPRESS: Oh, but it's not! That lovely little pet of Thanos was but a mere pawn. There's more to come! If it was that hard for you to beat up a little toy like that, you'll never lay a finger on the real baddies!

[Starmen, Octobots, and Nomus warp to the area.]

MR. COMPRESS: Get ready to run the gauntlet, ladies and gentlemen.

[Mr compress salutes mockingly and leaves.]

ALPHYS: These guys all have one thing in common: they're programmed to mindlessly destroy anything in their path.

SHULK: That means we need to confuse them and not give them a chance to attack us.

PAULA: Or by evading them strategically we can disorient multiple enemies, and make them attack each other.

SQUIDWARD: Yeah, great plan. But how about we see if it works because THOSE GUYS ARE COMING AT US NOW!

[A winged Nomu and two Final Starmen lunge toward the group, but they move out of the way. Shulk grabs the nomu and uses it as a shield as the first Starman fires a beam. Since the beam was aiming for Shulk, the nomu got hit instead. At that same moment, the second Starman fired a beam at Hop Pop, who was behind the first Starman. The first Starman gets hit by the second one's beam. Paula uses PK Freeze to destroy the second Starman.]

ALPHYS: M-More are coming!

[Two four-eyed nomu, three Starmen, and an Ultimate Octobot attack.]

PATRICK: We're gonna die!

[Shulk uses the Monado to slice off the Octobot's tentacles, while Hop Pop and Paula make the Starmen shoot the Nomu, who aimed at Mettaton posing behind the Starmen.]

SQUIDWARD: (huff) (gasp) we're only in the first wave... and I (gasp) don't think I can take much more of this...

ALPHYS: Don't (gasp) (gasp) worry... just (huff) (gasp) (gasp) stay... (gasp) determined...

[Five more Final Starmen, two four-eyed nomu, and three Ultimate Octobots attack.]

HOP POP: These things just keep coming!

PAULA: It's okay! We can do one more group attack on these guys!

[Squidward shoots ink at one of the Starmen, sending its beam into an Octobot. The two Octobots lunge out, but Shulk pulls down a nomu which they land on, and Alphys tricks two Starmen into shooting the three. The Starmen are then destroyed by a nomu stumbling blindly after Mettaton perfumes its eyes. The last two Starmen are destroyed by Paula's PK Fire and Nia's attacks in her blade form.]

SQUIDWARD: Quick! To the end of the hallway!

[After the Avengers run to the end of the hallway, a bend takes them to a window looking out into space. All for One stands at it as if staring.]

NIA: Who's that?

Shulk: That's All for One, the leader of the League of Villains, and all those nomu things out there. We fought him five years ago, and I'll never forget it.

PATRICK: He's just standing there... menacingly!

[All for One begins to turn around.]

PAULA: Run.

CUT TO: A DIFFERENT CORRIDOR ON THE SANCTUARY SHIP

[Aqua-Toga catches up to real Aqua, who has the Monado and the extra Zexonite mush.]

TOGA: Hello!? Are you there, Aqua?

AQUA: Huh? That sounds like me...

TOGA: Oh, don't be silly. I'm not just you. I can be so much more.

AQUA: You're starting to scare me.

TOGA: Aw, don't be scared. I'm sure you'll recognize me.

[Aqua-Toga walks around the bend in the corridor.]

AQUA: You are me! Wait... are you that sucky girl?

[Aqua-Toga knocks Aqua on the head, causing her to pass out.]
