The Lost THX Tex Trailer: Ianto And Ivory

**This story was originally written on March 1, 2023. Because of the ban of THX Texpastas on the Spinpasta Wiki I have to move this story to here.**

Hello all, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, I’m Noah and I wanted to talk about and analyze the contents of this weird DVD I was sent.

It all started back in March 2023 when all I could think about was Dollywood, opening day was on the 11th and it’s even better as they were opening up a new roller coaster called Big Bear Mountain, as you don’t know, I’m a massive roller coaster enthusiast, but I’ve been to just a few parks, them being Kings Island, Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Cedar Point.

No more coaster talk, that day I was lying in my bed, browsing the Roller Coaster Database on my phone 'cuz y’know, roller coasters, and then I heard my mom hollar:

"Noah!"

I put down my phone and went to the living room.

"Noah, did you order a package?" my mom asked me.

"No, I don't think so."

That's when she pointed to a small cardboard box on the coffee table, I picked it up and took it to my room, I laid it on my bed and unboxed it.

I took out what was a DVD case with a cover that said:

“The Ultimate THX Collection: Ianto & Ivory - 40th Anniversary Boxset”

The cover contained...two of my characters? Also, worth noting that the THX mascot, Tex, was next to the THX logo. Another thing worth noting is that despite it being called a “boxset” it only contained one DVD case.

I opened up the case and plopped the disc out, my laptop had a CD drive, so I opened up VLC Media Player and popped in the disc, I then put on my earbuds that were connected to my laptop.

After a bit of clicking, the video screen on VLC went black for a few seconds, then it took me to a language selection screen, only containing one language: English.

“What? What was the point of adding this screen if only one language is supported?” I asked myself.

Whatever, I selected English, and it took me to the main menu which had two options, Play and Scene Selection, I selected Play, and the screen went black for a few seconds.

The movie started on a gray ground and black background setting, Ianto and Ivory, the uppercase and lowercase letter Is, fell from the sky and landed on their feet.

“Okay Ianto, I hope you’re ready for this!” said Ivory.

“I’m not just ready, I was born ready!” Ianto responded eagerly.

I paused the video for a moment and started taking in how their voices are the same as mine, I mean, I don't ever remember making this weird movie and burning it onto a DVD.

I shrugged and thought "AI's a thing now, whoever made this probably used samples of my voice."

I unpaused the video and continued watching.

Ianto ran off but stopped and turned to Ivory.

“You coming? Tex has gone too far; we have to end his reign of terror!” said Ianto.

“Hold your horses, I’ll be there shortly!” Ivory said, he then followed Ianto.

The letter duo ran for a few seconds until they bumped into Tex.

“My my, I’ve been waiting quite a while for you!” Tex said.

“That’s him? That’s Tex?” Ivory asked.

“This is him, alright!” Ianto answered.

Ianto turned to Tex.

“Alright Tex, your reign of terror ends now!”

Ianto grabbed out a joust and tried stabbing Tex with it, but Tex grabbed the joust and swapped it out of Ianto’s grasp.

“Thanks for the weapon, weakling!” Tex said, with a heartless laugh, “For disrespecting my logo and company, you DIE!”

Tex charged at Ianto but before he could stab him, he jumped out of way, but with Ivory behind him, he got pierced below his mouth.

Ianto watched in horror as his brother got pierced. He ran up to Ivory, who was a few seconds away from passing.

“Ivory, no!” Ianto yelled.

Ivory looked at Ianto and went, “It’s okay, Ianto, all that matters is that you tried…goodbye Ianto…”

Ivory closed his eyes, indicating that he was now dead.

Ianto just sat there for a few seconds, staring at Ivory’s corpse.

“Oh boo hoo, you gonna cry?!” said Tex.

“Hey Tex, SHUT THE FRICK UP.” Ianto yelled.

This caught Tex off guard.

“I don’t know what your problem is, but what YOU need to know is that killing people is not gonna make them less scared of your logo and company, in fact, you’re just scaring people more, YOU’RE MAKING MATTERS WORSE.”

“Well, they disrespected my lo-“

“DISRESPECTED? THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE DON’T LIKE OR ARE SCARED OF YOUR LOGO, IT’S BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE TO LOUD NOISES, WHY DON’T YOU EVER UNDERSTAND THAT?!”

Tex stood silent.

“Tex, everyone has haters, I have haters too, I have to deal with dumb logo kids all the time, but I don’t kill people because they fear me, why don’t you look on the good side, I’m pretty sure you have people who like your logo and your company, so why don’t you just suck it up and learn to accept the fact that people don’t like you?”

“How about…NO!” said Tex.

“Okay!” said Ianto, “What is mostly blue and covers 71% of the Earth?!”

“What?”

“Water!”

A batch of water fell onto Tex, completely wetting him.

“Hahahaaaa!” laughed Tex, “You think I can just die? NO! I’m way more durable than you thin-“

Before Tex finished speaking, he twitched a couple times, I believe the water found a way into his body and made contact with his wires and circuits.

“What..?!” said Tex.

Smoke started coming out of Tex’s shoulders, he looked at himself in denial.

“No…no! NOOOO!”

Tex kept twitching and getting electrocuted, after a few seconds he burst into flames and started screaming.

Finally, Tex exploded, warped steel and bolts flew around the place. Ianto grabbed out a shield to avoid getting hit.

Ianto put down the shield and stared at the black ash that used to be Tex, afterwards he walked off.

“Now, how do I get out of-“

Ianto bumped into a steel structure, the camera zoomed out what was revealed to be the THX logo, a trapdoor from the X’s left foot opened, a steel rod extended to the H on Ianto’s side and showed several TVs, each TV showed a setting of mostly corpses in burnt down places. Another rod went in front of the TVs and showed a red button that said “HOLD TO RESET”.

Ianto stared at the TVs, then pressed the button and kept his finger on it, the fallen characters on the TV were being brought back to life unscathed, and buildings were being unburnt and resurrected to their original glory. A wide TV on top of the others showed green text that said “RESET COMPLETE.”

I asked myself “Wait a minute, is that…”

I paused the movie, I could recognize most characters from shows I watched when I was younger, I could see Kipper, Thomas the Tank Engine, the Rubbadubbers, SpongeBob, Woody and Buzz Lightyear, and plenty more characters.

Back to the movie, I unpaused it and saw Ivory getting resurrected, he got up and walked up to Ianto, who was staring at the TVs, and stood next to him.

Tex saw Ianto and Ivory staring at the TVs, he took out a remote and pressed a button that would close the TVs, and have the rod move back into the trapdoor.

“Huh?” said Ianto, confused.

The duo turned around to see that Tex was behind them, Ianto screamed and took a few steps back.

“The robot!” yelled Ianto, “He’s back!”

“Don’t worry, I’m not evil!” said Tex

“But-but you-"

“You’re getting it all wrong! You’ve killed my evil clone.”

“Evil clone?” asked Ianto.

“Yes, my evil clone has a massive intolerance for criticism, which is why he killed many characters.” said Tex, clarifying the issue.

Ianto sighed in relief.

“I must say, not only you two got rid of that no good evil clone of mine, but you’ve also reversed all the damage he’s done, I’m proud of both of you!” said a pleased Tex.

“That’s what he came for,” said Ivory, “we came here to search for the evil Tex and track him down.”

“Well, I’m glad you did, thanks to you two, everything is back to normal, there will be no more killing of characters from your childhood!”

Tex held out two briefcases and handed them to Ianto and Ivory.

“Take these briefcases of my approval.”

“Awesome! What’s inside?” said Ianto.

Ianto and Ivory opened up their briefcases to find 2.4 million dollars worth of United States dollars. Both gazed into their briefcases, then closed them.

“Again, I’d like to thank you for getting rid of that no good evil clone of mine.” said Tex, “Now, I must send you two back to your home! Good knowing you and goodbye…”

Tex pressed a button that made Ianto and Ivory light up, then the background changed to them looking at the front of their house, still holding their briefcases.

“A job well done!” said Ianto.

“I second that.” said Ivory.

The duo walked to the front door and went inside, the screen went black and cut to the THX logo. Tex flew into the scene.

“With my evil clone gone for good, I’m happy to announce that your childhood friends no longer have to suffer, and it’s all thanks to Ianto and Ivory.” said Tex, “I must go now, goodbye!”

Tex flew away from the logo as THX deep note music played, and the logo shined.

The logo then disappeared, then a vertically scrolling message appeared, saying:

“We at THX would like to issue a formal apology for any “lost” trailers that may have upset or offended our viewers, these trailers were made by interns who were let go from their position and have been sentenced to a lengthy time in prison. We mean no harm to nobody, we understand why people fear our logo and we will respect that as long as it doesn’t pose a threat to our logo and company.”

“This year in May marks our 40th anniversary, and we would, in one of many ways, like to celebrate it by reversing damage that was done. For 40+ years, we’ve provided enhanced movie quality in terms of visual and sound, and we will continue doing that for 40 more years and beyond. We sincerely apologize for the actions performed by our interns and hope you will continue to follow and support us.”

After that, the THX logo faded in, then text below faded in saying “THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING.”

After a few seconds, the logo and text faded to black, and went back to the main menu.

I was completely flabbergasted from what I just watched. I had to know what was going on.

I minimized the VLC window and opened up Microsoft Edge, I searched up “lost THX Tex trailer” and pressed enter, and it turns out, I’m not alone.

People have been posting their experiences with lost THX trailers about Tex killing certain characters.

“I think that’s enough internet for today.” I said to myself, I took off my earbuds, closed the laptop and got up.

Then I woke up and realized it was all a dream.

...

Except that it wasn’t a dream, because I looked at my laptop and it turns out I left it open, and it was showing the DVD menu of the DVD I watched. I remembered watching the DVD and then doing research, and then took a nap after finding out that these lost trailers are everywhere. It turns out I dreamt about everything that happened before I took that nap.

I walked up to my laptop, closed VLC media player, ejected the CD and put it back in the case, I closed my laptop and put the DVD case in my closet, I’m probably gonna rewatch that disc one day.

I lied down on my bed and checked my phone, the clock said that it was 11:23pm, I just turned off my phone and went to sleep.

The next day I wrote everything that happened and decided I’d post it here with all the other lost THX trailers.

If you ever encounter one of these lost THX trailers, boxsets, whatever, just know that this one ends it all.
