The Most Dangerous Hunt/Transcript

## Part 1: The Gathering

(The Episode Begins With A Kino Video (Greece) Warning Screen Like Title Crawl With The White Boat By Andreas Vollenweider Playing)

**Message From The Hunters:** In The Early Parts Of The Twenty First Century, A Group Of Radical And Violent Young Persons, Who Lost Control From Their Parents, We're Causing Crime And Violence Everywhere. With Their Back Up Against The Wall, The Government Passed A Bill, Called The Bill Of Emergency Education Reformation, Or B.E.E.R. For Short. This Act Gathers 40 Of The Most Violent Individuals To Battle It Out For 72 Hours Until One Remains. The First Year Of This Bill Being In Order Was 2007, Where A Tree Friend Named Katrine Was The Last Lady Standing. Each Individual Would Have A Specially Equipped Neck Brace, Causing The Deaths Of Certain Individuals Who Broke The Rules, Or Go Outside The Battleground. Each Person Would Have A Weapon Chosen Randomly By The Government, As Well As Needed Essentials. In The End Of The 72 Hours In 2008, A Fresky Feline Named Fresko Stood Tall, Despite His Friend's Deaths. But In 2009, When The Crimes Dwindled, The Act Was Thrown Away And The Battle Royale Act Was No More… But In 2021, When Violence Returned, A Famous Poacher And His Group Of Hunters Had An Idea To Bring This Act Back As The Final Resolution Reformation Act… Now, The Maverick Hunters Must Face…

(The White Boat By Andreas Vollenweider Fades Into Metatron By Martin Rev. The Message Then Fades As Two Red Lines Are Drawn, Forming A 2 By 2 Grid. A Red Bow And Arrow Tip Also Appear And The Lines Form Bow And Arrow While The Rest Of The Lines Disappear. The Arrow Pulls Back As T In A Scary Font [Sebastian Rodriguez's Another Danger Font] Zooms Out With The Rest Of The Name Being Wiped In, Forming The Title Of The Episode, The Most Dangerous Hunt. The Title Fades To Black After A Few Seconds)

(We Fade Up To Brandon's House, As A Mail Truck Arrives In Front Of It. We Fade To The Front Door As Someone Knocks On It.)

**Adrien:** Mail Call!

(Brandon Opens It And Sees The Mailman [Adrien])

**Brandon G:** Hey Adrien! Why Did You Come To The Door Instead Of Putting The Mail In The Mailbox And Driving Off To The Next House?

**Adrien:** I Did Do That, But I'm Giving You A Letter From An Anonymous Source Since It Seems Important To You And Your Family.

**Brandon G:** An Important Letter?! Did You Catch Who Sent It?!

**Adrien:** No, But Whoever Sent It Must Work For The Happy Tree Acornia Government, Considering The Stamp Is The Government Emblem, Which Is An Acorn.

**Brandon G:** A Letter From The Government You Say… I'll Look At It, It Might Be My Tax Returns.

**Adrien:** Ok, See You Around.

(Brandon Closes The Door.)

**Cheyenne M:** Who Was That?!

**Brandon G:** The Mailman, He Said He Got A Letter From The Government And I Have No Idea What It Is.

(Brandon Opens The Letter And Sees Six Passes To The Golden Acorn Resort's Mansion With A Note From An Anonymous Source.)

**Brandon G:** What's This?! I Never Knew That The Golden Acorn Resort Had A Mansion! Let's Read The Note. "To The 26 Maverick Hunters And The Select 14 Tree Friends, You're Invited To The Golden Acorn Resort's Mansion For A Government Funded Event. Our Government Wanted To Reinstate A Bill That Was Previously Thrown Out, Due To Continuing Violence By A Certain Group Of Hunters. Poachy, One Of Our Main Governors Orchestrated This Resurrection Of This Bill After The Recent Crimes Caused By A Group Wanting The Act To Be Reinstated. You Must Meet At The Resort's Mansion By 5 PM Tomorrow Night For A Lecture On The New Laws That Were From The Reinstated Bill. Also, A Complimentary Hunting Session Will Be Open For All 40 Of You. Plus The Special Accommodations That The Resort Has To Offer Will Be For All Of You. Remember, Tomorrow At 5 PM Will Be A Lecture For The Reinstated Bill That Was Formerly Known As The Bill Of Emergency Education Reformation?! Don't Be Late Or You'll Miss This Wonderful Event?! The Government Reinstated That Dumb Bloodshed Of A Bill?! What's It Called Now?!

**Cheyenne M:** Well, Some Sources Say That It's Now Called The Final Resolution Reformation Act. Also, Isn't That The Act That Is Known As The Battle Royale Act?!

**Jared G:** I Remember That, They Gathered 40 Teens And Young Adults To Participate In A Battle Royale For Three Days, Having Them Kill Each Other Until One Remains.

**Alisia G:** How Did You Remember That?

**Jared G:** My College Classmate Fresko Told Me That. He Was The Sole Survivor In The Second And Final Installment Of The Tree Friend Battle Royale. After That, The Law Was Thrown Out Due To A Public Outcry.

**Molly T:** And It's Now Reinstated?! This Doesn't Seem Good!

**Lily G:** Are You Sure That Letter Is From The Government?!

**Brandon G:** It Is, But Something Seems Sketchy About This, So We Should Go To This Event And See What Poachy's Up Too…

(We Flash To White As A Lightning Strikes As We Transition To The Resort Mansion As It's A Thunder Rain Storm Outside. We Fade Inside As We See The 40 People In The Mansion's Built-in Lecture Room [A Fancy Classroom In A Mansion That Doubles As The Dining Area])

**Poachy:** Glad That You're All Here! Now That You 40 Are Here, Let Me Explain What Is Going On. You All Got The Letters I Sent To You And Your Family And Friends, That Letter States That The Bill That Was Formerly Known As The Bill Of Emergency Education Reformation Now Called The Final Resolution Resolution Act Was Reinstated, Meaning That The Yearly Battle Royale Returns.

**Fresko:** Don't Mention It, I Already Did That Once, And I'm Not Doing It Again…

**Poachy:** Oh Don't Worry, This Year's Battle Royale Is Different. But Before We Get To The New Stuff For This Year, Here's A Quick Refresher On The Old Rule.

(Poachy Takes Out A Script For Battle Royale Part 1 That He Recovered.)

**Poachy:** Now Where's The Lines The Teacher Said In This Script… Oh, There On Page Two. Here We Go… Uh, Hello Students. I’m Glad You're Awake, Because I Have A Lot To Go Over For You Guys… Does Anyone Know What The Bill Of Emergency Education Reformation Is…
They Passed This Arbitrary Law For A Reason, And That Reason Is Because Of You Guys Misbehaving Everywhere You Go… Every Year, The Juvenile Crimes And Violent Acts That You Cause Skyrocket To The Point That People Don’t Feel Safe Leaving Their Homes…
The B.E.E.R. Act Was Passed That Takes 40 People From Each Region And Enrolls Them Into This Program…

**Austin C:** Just Get On With It!

**Poachy:** Alright! I’ll Cut To The Rule Explanation! Good Evening Players, And Welcome To This Year’s Program. There’s Some Rules To Follow And If These Don’t Look Like If Your Life Depends On It, Well, They Do, So Listen Up! When Arriving At The Battlefield, Each Combatant Will Receive A Bag Containing Food, Water, A Map Of The Battlefield, A Compass, And That Combatant's Arsenal. MHS Gear For The Hunters, And HTF Re-Future Gear For The Tree Friends And Their Respective Weapons For Certain HTF Characters.

**James L:** Hey! That’s A Line From The MMC VS HTF Power Fighters Battle Royale Series!

**Poachy:** Would You Rather Have A Weapon Chosen By The Government, So You Won’t Know What You Get?!

**James L:** Fair Point, Continue.

**Poachy:** Now As For The Area You Will Be In, This Entire Resort, Any Area Of Attraction, Is Your Arena, As The Mansion Is In The Middle Of The Resort. We Will See The Progress Of The Battle From Here. Escaping This Resort Will Result In Your Immediate Death, As Guards Are Surrounding The Resort And They Can Kill You If You Try To Escape. It’s Not Like You Guy Would Want To Escape Anyways… Also, Everyone Was Evacuated To Safe Zones, So You Don’t Need To Worry About Civilians Trying To Impede Your Progress. Any Building Can Be Used Because Of This. The Resort Has Been Divided Into 100 Zones, By A Ten By Ten Grid. Every 30 Minutes, A Zone Can Become A Danger Zone. You Will Be Given A Report On Which Zone Is Safe And Which Is A Danger Zone Every Hour, Failure To Leave At The Given Time Will Result In, Well You Get The Picture. Each Of You Will Be Fitted With A Collar That Is Waterproof And Shockproof, Unlike What Is Happening In This Script, These Collars Are More Of Tracking Devices For Us To Track Your Progress. Or… For Us To Find You…

**Everyone:** Huh?! What Do You Mean!

**Poachy:** Well, We’re Hunting You Instead Of Killing Each Other! And That’s The Twist! Guards! Apply The Collars!

(The Guards Apply The Collars To The 40 People As Everyone Tries To Resist. All Was In Vain Though.)

**Brandon G:** So, You're Hunting Us?!

**Poachy:** Yes, And You All Will Be Given A 5 Minute Head Start

(Poachy Cocks His Shotgun.)

**Poachy:** So Start Running!

**Ryan Z:** Oh Hell No! You're Not Gonna Kill Us!

**Poachy:** Wanna Bet?!

(Poachy Shoots Ryan Z In The Head, Causing The 39 Others To Run Away.)

**Poachy:** After Them!

(The Hunters Go After The 39 Other Survivors As We Cut To Black To End Part 1)

{End Part 1}

## Part 2: The Hunt Begins

(Poachy And Hiss Are Riding Around In A Jeep, Looking For Any Survivors.)

**Poachy:** Hmm… Someone Has A Fear Scent. And I Know Exactly Where They Are…

(Poachy Points His Gun At A Bush And Shoots, And It Turns Out That He Shot Josh.)

**Josh G:** Damn It!

(Josh Falls On The Ground Dead. We Then Fade To Cuddles House As Cuddles, Anais Waterson, Andrew Waterson Jr., Toothy, Magnolia, Bucky, Daisy, Giggles, Snowers, Petunia, Handy & Hammer Are Watching A Show)

**Announcer** You’re Watching The World Series Of Manhunting, The World's Most Violent Show Since The HTF Battle Royale.

**Bucky:** What The Hell! They Are Killing Our Friends?! This Is A Violation Of The Marribuda Act!

**Hammer:** You Tell Me! Just Take A Look At This Week’s TV Guide Magazine.

(He Hands The Magazine To Bucky And Everyone Gasps.)

**Snowers:** Must Flee TV?! That Poachy Is So Gonna Get His!

**Sammy:** Now For His Take On Tonight’s Bloodthirsty Action, Here’s Howdy

**Howdy:** Well Sam, While Fleeing Is A Good Strategy At First, You Should Always Place Your Bets On The Guy With The Gun!

(We See Ryan Shafer Running From Poachy’s Jeep, But Gets Shot In The Back.)

**Ryan S:** Damn It! This Isn’t Golf You Bitch!

(Shafer Gets Shot Repeatedly As We Cut Back To Howdy.)

**Howdy:** And This Is Why Showboating Is Turning People Off This Sport!

(Brandon And His Family Are Seen Behind A Bush Examining Where Poachy And His Crew Are.)

**Brandon G:** This Is So Stupid! I Thought The Marribuda Act Prohibited Events Like These!

**Cheyenne M:** He Coaxed The Government To Make An Exception, Since He Had Corrupted The Government To Do What He Says.

**Jared G:** Damn Government Corruption! We Should Have Not Gone Here!

**Molly T:** We Would Have Been Killed Otherwise, So It Was A Lose Lose Situation.

**Dylan G:** Hey, Bro!

**Brandon G:** Huh?!

(He Looks Up And Sees 10 Of The Survivors In A Tree [Dylan G, Aiysa, Trevor H, Carina C, Xavier B, Zoe H, Austin C, Jordan C, Alexander S, Alexis D])

**Brandon G:** Why Are You Guys Up There?! Are You Risking Death?!

**Dylan G:** Just Get Up Here So You Can Be Safe…

**Brandon G:** Uh, You Do Know That Poachy Set A Trap That Can Launch You Out Of That Tree. Just Look Where The Tree Is Positioned!

(The Tree Was Bent Because One Of It’s Branches Was Tied To A Post. The Rope Breaks And Sends The 10 Flying.)

**Lumber:** So, Any Signs Of The Survivors?!

**Walter:** Hey! Your Rope Trap Sent Some Flying!

**Spitfire:** Shoot Them Before They Fly Away!

(The Three Shoot Nine Of The Ten Down In The Style Of Duck Hunt. They Missed Austin Though.)

**Austin C:** Ha! Missed Me!

(Austin Gets Impaled On A Weather Vane.)

**Austin C:** Gah! Damn It! Well, If I’m Gonna Die Like This, I Might As Well Scratch That Lottery Ticket That I’ve Got In My Back Pocket.

(Austin Scratches It And Wins The Jackpot.)

**Austin C:** Instant Jackpot?! One Million Dollars?! If I Make It Out Alive…

(Suddenly, Ryan D Gets Impaled On The Vane, Crushing Austin And Killing Him.)

(Later That Night, The Survivors Are Now Cut Down To Brandon’s Family, Luna, Pop, Cub, Fresko, Juggles, Pelty, Muffins And Flakem. Since The Rest Were Shot Offscreen.)

**Fresko:** Damn! 6 Hours In And Half Of Our Crew Is Wiped Out!

**Juggles:** Yeah! There’s Only 14 Of Us Left!

**Pelty:** Hey Muffins? Where Did You Get That Banana?

**Muffins:** From That Tree Over There, Duh.

**Flakem:** At Least Their Ripe…

(Suddenly, A Plane Flies Over Their Heads.)

**Brandon G:** Aerial Assault! Get Down!

(The Germains, Molly, Pop, Cub, Luna, Fresko And Juggles Get Down, But Pelty, Muffins And Flakem Were Shot Down By Poachy’s Aircraft, Killing Them Almost Instantly.)

**Brandon G:** There’s Gotta Be An Angel Out There That Can Save Us!

(As Night Turns Into Day, Poachy And His Crew Of 8 Hunters Are Searching For The Remaining Survivors.)

**Poachy:** You Can’t Hide For Long You Bastards! One Way Or Another You Will Face Your Fate.

(We See Cuddles, Anais Waterson, Andrew Waterson Jr., Toothy, Magnolia, Bucky, Daisy, Giggles, Snowers, Petunia, Handy & Hammer Behind A Tree.)

**Snowers:** Ok, On My Mark, We’ll Wipe Poachy’s Assistants Out.

(Suddenly, Xeba Hears Something.)

**Xeba:** Poachy And Hiss, You Go On. We’ve Got Some Invaders To Take Down.

**Snowers:** Now!

(Snowers, Cuddles, Toothy, Giggles, Magnolia, Anais, Petunia And Handy Shoot Down Walter, Lumber, Xeba, Neozor, Pierce, Hoppy, Buzz & Spitfire.)

**Snowers:** Got Them, Now Let’s Save Brandon!

(Back With Poachy, He’s Still Looking For Brandon And His Friends.)

**Poachy:** Now Where Could Those Bastards Be?! They Can’t Escape For Long! They Aren’t Smart Enough!

**Brandon G:** Oh Yes We Are!

**Cheyenne M:** Just Go Ahead And Shoot Us! You Pussies!

(Poachy Shoots What Looked Like Brandon And Cheyenne Dead, Until They Walk Up And See That It Was Fresko And Juggles In Their Clothes Being Controlled Like Puppets.)

**Poachy:** What The?! These Are Just That Fresky Feline And His Circus Performer Wife!

**Hiss:** Wait? These Aren’t Their Real Attires, Fresko Is Wearing Brandon’s Old MMB Shirt And Juggles Is Wearing Cheyenne’s High School Senior Photo Outfit!

**Brandon G:** You Expected Us To Be Naked And Afraid?!

**Cheyenne M:** Not By A Long Shot Buddy!

(Brandon And Cheyenne High Five, But They Lose Balance And Fall Out Of The Tree. Jared And The Others Join Them As Poachy And Hiss Aim At Them.)

**Poachy:** Is There Room In The Head Bag Hiss, We’ve Got 9 To Take Care Of!

(Hiss Looks In The Head Bag And Sees That It’s Overfilled.)

**Hiss:** Well, That’s Why We’ve Got Four Bags Of Heads With Ten In Each Of Them. But There’s One In The Bag We Gave To Xeba, But He Has Yet To Come Back From Dealing With Those Interferers, So I Guess We Have To Make Room For Them.

**Poachy:** You Do That, I’ve Got Some Bears, A Wolf, A Bat, And Porcupines To Put Down.

(The Family Prepares For The Worst, Until A Shot Is Heard.)

**Poachy:** Huh? That’s Weird, I Haven’t Put My Bullet Shell In My Gun Yet. Wait A Minute…

(Poachy Looks Over And Sees That Hiss Was Shot In The Chest.)

**Hiss:** Aw Blimey! This Isn’t How An Australian Dies!

(Hiss Falls To The Ground Dead.)

**Poachy:** Alright! Who Did That?! I Want An Answer From You Guys Right…

(Giggles Hits Poachy In The Head With A Baseball Bat And Send His Head Flying To The Next Dimension.)

**Giggles:** And That My Friends Is A Home Run Like You Never Seen Before!

**Brandon G:** Well, Looks Like My Prayers Have Been Answered…

(The Neck Braces On Their Neck Turn To Ash And Disintegrate.)

**Cheyenne M:** And Would You Look At That! The Braces Are Gone!

**Brandon G:** Well, That Ends That…

**Giggles:** It Indeed Does…

**Snowers:** Hey Giggs? Haven’t You Ever Had A Crush On Brandon? Because It Would Be Interesting If You Did…

(Giggles Bonks Snowers In The Head With The Bat, Knocking Him Out.)

**Giggles:** Oops! Sorry! Just Hate It When You Try To Make Me Date Someone Else, Especially A Married Man!

**Brandon G:** But Is It True Though?

**Giggles:** Well, Maybe In An Alternate Dimension It Is!

**Brandon G:** I Guess I Have That In The Notes For A Future ReCharged Series…

**Giggles:** I Didn’t Mean It Literally…

**Sammy:** Well There You Have It, Thoughts On What Just Transpired?

**Howdy:** Well, Is There Really An Alternate Universe Where Brandon Dates Giggles?! It Can’t Be This Universe Since Snowers Is Her Boyfriend, But It Is In The Possibility That Happy Tree Friends Battle Royale ReCharge Will Have A Scene Where Snowers And Brandon Swap Wives And Things Get A Little Messy. It Probably Would Be A Deleted Sequence Though Since That Series Won’t Go That Far To Break Hearts, Well, Asides From Juggles Death. Can We Just Cut To Commercial Before I Take Out My Alternate Dimension Playbook And Explain This To A Point That… Hey, Get That Garbled Text Off The Screen! The Show Isn’t Over Yet! Oh, The Episode Is Though? Shit!

(As Howdy Is Talking, An Encrypted Message Appears On Screen, Which Is "Epo'u Nftt Xjui Usvf Mpwf!" It Then Decodes To The Actual Moral After The Background Fades To Black, Which Is “Don't Mess With True Love!”, Ending The Episode.)
