Breaking Boundaries/Transcript

*[The mission starts inside the police station, in a back rec room. In this room, Joey, Melanie, Charles, Pete and Chris are all sitting around, either on the sofa or at the table, talking to each other. James walks in and sits down next to Joey on the sofa. He is greeted by the others. He greets them back.]*

**CHRIS**: We were just talking about everything that happened. Pete was telling us details about his experience.

**PETE**: Yeah, it was truly awful. If that’s what hell is like, I better turn around and start counting my blessings.

**JAMES**: Oh, yeah, it truly was hell. Father Time was brutal: he took my powers away and trapped me inside that Energy Cube. Pete, too. And he tried to convince me to join his side. I refused.

**JOEY**: Of course. Because you’re better than that, man.

**PETE**: Same for me. I didn’t give in to that bastard.

**MELANIE**: Well, at least we’re all safe now.

**CHRIS**: And remember when I had to get a sample of Time Manipulation to get out of the dimension? Well, sadly, it wore off. I’m back to just Light Manipulation.

*[A police officer walks past Pete. Pete gets his attention.]*

**PETE**: Hey, may I have some oats?

**OFFICER**: Oats?

**PETE**: Yeah. As in, some food?

**OFFICER**: Oh, sure, sir! What would you like?

**PETE**: Surprise me.

**OFFICER**: On it.

*[The officer walks away.]*

**JAMES**: Chris, you broke boundaries yesterday! Who knew someone could possess two forms of powers at once?

**CHRIS**: I know.

**JAMES**: Y’know, for three years, me and Erik were the only humans on Earth with powers. Then all of a sudden this guy Nicholas Monetti shows up and changes everything.

**CHRIS**: Yeah.

**JOEY**: I mean, TIME MANIPULATION! Not even an already existing power like Aura! Like you and Erik had.

**JAMES**: And how the hell did he manage to get samples of LIGHT manipulation, and store that? And that Power Elapser device he made...

**CHARLES**: We’ll find all of this out. Now that Chris has gone into the Third Dimension to save you and Pete, what’s our next plan?

**JOEY**: Well, Father Time is MAD now. I mean, he never actually expected Chris to get into the dimension in the first place, let alone save James and Pete, safely!

**CHRIS**: Well he was way off. James, you’re absolutely right. You said that villains appear to be all tough and smart when deep down, when you expose them, they’re nothing. Father Time realizes that the two of us combined are a force to be reckoned with, even with his fancy Time Manipulation.

**JAMES**: So what are you saying?

**CHRIS**: I’m saying, I think now, we’ve exposed Father Time. Soon, we’ll be able to strike, and WIN. But, of course, we’ll need an advanced plan first.

**JAMES**: Alright.

*[All of a sudden, Time Minions break through the wall and a piece of the wall falls onto Melanie and Pete, injuring them. Time Minions are invading the police station from through the hole.]*

**CHRIS**: Oh, shit!

**JAMES**: We gotta take ‘em out!

*[Chris uses his light energy to lift the wall that fell on Pete and Melanie, and save the two. Meanwhile, the player, as James, must take out all of the Time Minions. The police officers in the room are also shooting at them, but this does nothing. When all the Time Minions are defeated, Father Time spawns outside. Joey and Charles have already fled, and Chris is leading Melanie and Pete out.]*

**JAMES**: What do you want, Father Time?

**FATHER TIME**: Nothing from you. I’ve realized that you’re better than I thought. But Chris is the one who I should be congratulating. Where is he?

**JAMES**: Not telling you.

**FATHER TIME**: Fine. Don’t wanna admit that he’s the one who saved you. You’ve always thought you were the best, but now, Chris is stepping up, and you’re jealous.

**JAMES**: I am not!

**FATHER TIME**: It’s only a matter of time before you turn on him, out of your own selfish greed. Even if it’s after I’m gone.

**JAMES**: Fuck you, Father Time! That will NEVER happen!

**FATHER TIME**: As you wish. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a city to torture!

**JAMES**: No!

*[Father Time teleports away. Right after, the player must Switch to Chris, who is in the middle of carrying Pete and Melanie in separate Light energy beds, running down the street a few blocks away.]*

**CHRIS**: Gotta get these two to the hospital.

*[The player must do as said. When they get to the hospital, a cutscene plays which shows Chris stop running, grab Pete and Melanie, dissolve the Light energy beds, and carry them into the hospital. An EMT walks up to Chris as he is entering.]*

**CHRIS**: Make sure these two get immediate care.

**EMT**: Of course, Chris. I’ll take it from here.

*[The EMT, with the help of other doctors, lay Pete and Melanie on separate stretchers, and wheel them down the hallway into the hospital. Chris exits the hospital.*
When Chris exits, the player must Switch back to James, who is still near the damaged police station.]

**JAMES**: Can’t believe this!

*[The player must use the City-Wide Enemy Scan power to do as they did in the mission Not Too Nice. Multiple locations on the map will be highlighted in blue, meaning there are Time Minions there. There are five locations and the player must get to each one, and defeat all Time Minions. The last location will also have a Time Titan. When all enemies around the city are defeated, the mission ends.]*
