Close Encounter of the Flame Kind/Transcript

*[The mission starts outside of a Starlings' restaurant in the Southeast Corner. It is the next morning, clear weather. There are tables outside for dining. James and Joey are sitting at one, having coffee.]*

**JOEY**: So I was in the deli ordering my sandwich, and the guy refused to put sprinkles on my roast beef sandwich!

**JAMES**: Sprinkles?

**JOEY**: I said to him, you don’t fuck with me! I’m best friends with James Derettas, I’ll have him come here and Aura your ass!

**JAMES**: You shouldn’t threaten people using MY name. I’m not gonna “Aura his ass”, Joey. That’s fucked up.

*[They notice Chris walking up to them.]*

**JAMES**: Chris! What’s up?

**JOEY**: Hey, Chris!

**CHRIS**: Hey, guys.

**JAMES**: I was telling Joey about what happened last night, with you.

**JOEY**: Yeah. That guy you saw in the burning house was definitely a familiar foe.

**CHRIS**: Who was he?

**JAMES**: Back in Interface City, I battled a guy with armor, flamethrowers, burn marks all over him. He was flying around with a glider, too. Called himself Infearno.

**CHRIS**: Infearno? Damn.

**JOEY**: He definitely had the best villain names out of all of them, though.

**JAMES**: I defeated him, though. I don't know why or how he’s back.

**CHRIS**: Well, we’re gonna find out.

**JAMES**: If he pops up again, let me know. You can take him on alone, but I’d rather him see a familiar face.

*[All of a sudden, the camera pans up to the roof, where Infearno is standing. He is listening in on their conversation. Just then, he aims down towards the group and fires his flamethrowers towards them in unison, creating a flame boundary surrounding James and Joey.]*

**JAMES**: OH SHIT!

**CHRIS**: THERE HE IS!

**JOEY**: We’re surrounded by flames! Get us out of here!

*[James and Joey go inside the restaurant and escape through there. The player, as Chris, must now chase Infearno through the city, who is flying on his glider, eventually ending on the rooftop of the casino in the Northeast End.]*

**CHRIS**: What do you want?!

**INFEARNO**: Chaos. Destruction. Flames!!

*[Infearno shoots his flamethrowers at Chris, but he evades the attack. However, the entire roof of the building has now been set on fire, and Infearno flies away on his glider. It’s a long way down, and Chris, even with his powers, will not survive the fall.]*

**CHRIS**: Oh, shit!

*[The player must now Switch to James, who has escaped with Joey through the back doors of the restaurant. From his position, the fire on top of the casino is visible.]*

**JAMES**: Shit! Chris is up there!

*[The player, as James, must now head to the casino that’s on fire. There, the player must fight about 15 G Gang thugs.]*

**JAMES**: G Gang thugs?! What, did Infearno pay them off?

*[When all the thugs are defeated, the player must Switch to Chris, who is still at the roof of the casino, which has turned into a full blaze now. However, he is clinging to the top of an antenna, which has not yet caught fire. However, the base of the antenna has now caught fire, and the fire is slowly spreading up towards Chris.]*

**CHRIS**: Fuck! Gonna have to jump!

*[The player must now jump from the antenna off the building, and use Chris’s Light Glide to land near James.]*

**JAMES**: You did it!

**CHRIS**: Fo sho!

*[At this point, many Fire Trucks have already pulled up to the scene, and firefighters are rushing into the building. We even see fire planes flying over the building, dropping water on the roof, which puts out a significant portion of the fire.]*

**JAMES**: I don't know what Infearno’s doing here, but he’s causing mass destruction across the city. He will pay for this.

*[Just then, four G Gang vans pull up.]*

**CHRIS**: Great! Thugs!

**JAMES**: Yeah, I had to fight a ton while you were up there! Infearno must’ve paid them off!

*[The player must now defeat all of the thugs (5 per van, so 20 thugs). The player can Switch between Chris and James to do this. When all of the thugs are defeated, the mission endós.]*
