Chapter 20 - Door of Doom

Angle on Randoms INC

Inside, Tim and Alex are walking down the hallway

Tim

“Ah Alex, you smell that?”

Alex

“Paint?”

Tim

“No, the smell of mornings in Randoms INC! The people are hard at work, the monsters down at the creature department are screeching. It’s so relaxing!”

Alex

“I don’t think you actually know the definition of ‘relaxing’”

Tim

“Well what? What would you say?”

Alex

“I don’t know, but relaxing isn’t the word I’d use”

Tim

“Hmmm... tranquil?”

Suddenly Malcom zooms over and pushes Tim inside a closet

Tim

“AGH!”

Alex

“Agh! What was that for?!”

Malcom

“CEO training!”

Brief silence

Alex

“Wh-what? Wait, OH NO!”

Intro plays

Alex is examining the door

Malcom

“So yeah, do that and you’ll pass the C.E.O. training test!”

Alex

“Okay... you want me to open it? To free Tim?”

Malcom

“That’s right”

Alex

“Okay... easy”

Malcom

“Mmm-hmm”

Alex

“What! Yeah, of course it’s easy... unless you did something to it!”

Malcom

“\*chuckles\*”

Alex tries turning the doorknob. He fails

Alex

“I knew it...”

Malcom

“Good luck, you have until five”

Malcom walks off

Tim (muffled)

“Hey man, it’s no problem! There are some rad books in here! Like this one! Secrets of The Black Arts! Who the heck bought this?”

Alex

“Hang tight Tim, I’ll be back!”

Alex runs off

Tim

“Yeah no problem... guess I’ll read... this... h’boy...”

Alex runs throughout the halls, eventually bumping into Safety Ninja (who is with Jameson and Anne of course)

Safety Ninja

“Oh, hey Alex!”

Alex

“Hey, I need your help!”

Jameson

“MWA HA HA! FINALLY, MY ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED!”

Brief silence

Safety Ninja

“So what did you want?”

Alex

“HELP!”

Jameson

“Psh! Even I could’ve realized that”

Safety Ninja

“\*sigh\* lead the waaaay”

Anne

“I’ll tag along too, beats whatever we were watching”

She indicates an open door, in which the fears (from episode seven) are dancing in unicorn costumes

Anne

“Let’s go!”

Jameson

“I’M BRINGING THE PAIN! THAT’S MY WELL ESTABLISHED CATCHPHRASE!”

Cut to Malcom in his office

Malcom

“Okay, schedule...”

He looks at his schedule posted on the wall

Malcom

“Oh dagnabbit... meeting with Robert Eager... greaaaaat...”

Paul

“MEETING WITN ROBERT?!”

Malcom

“OH LORD! Paul, good to see you! How long have you been there?”

Paul

“The whole time, all the time, you’re gonna see Robert?”

Malcom

“Yeah, why?”

Paul

“I wanna come!”

Malcom

“Why?”

Paul

“Robert and I are due for a chat, we haven’t talked since right after the sorcerer incident, when I gave him his company back”

Malcom

“Oh okay... wait doesn’t he hate you?”

Paul

“Oh yes, extremely... should be hilarious”

Malcom

“Hmm... yeah it should, alright you can come”

Shade

“What about m-“

Malcom

“No”

Shade

“Aw... okay... geez... rude”

Alex and the Oddity Crew are checking out the closet

Safety Ninja

“Hmm... have you tried turning the handle?”

Alex

“Yes! That was the first thing I did!”

Safety Ninja

“Oh... are you sure?”

Alex

“Yes! It wouldn’t turn”

Safety Ninja

“Hmm... \*he tries to turn the handle\* Yeah no, that’s locked or something”

Alex

“Exactly! That’s what I- Ugh, whatever, how do we unlock it?”

Jameson

“Maybe if we used my laser canon I got from Ex-Lord, oh right, someone broke it at the last second and nearly cost us the!”

He glares at Shade, who is just there

Shade

“COME ON! Was literally Safety Ninja!”

Safety Ninja

“It was Jameson guys!”

Jameson

“Why you little- No no no, I’m above this”

Anne

“Uh Alex, why don’t you just find the key to the closet?”

Alex’s face lights up

Alex

“Or better yet... Shade!”

Shade

“What?”

Alex

“Can you slip under that closet? Open from inside?”

Shade

“Okay”

He slides under

Shade (muffled)

“Um... there’s no doorknob on this side... what the- oh hey Tim!”

Tim (muffled)

“Hey Shade, what’s happening my dude!”

Alex

“Everything sucks!”

He looks moody for a couple of seconds

Anne

“So we’re going with my key plan?”

Alex

“YES!”

Malcom and Paul arrive at CreaTech via limo. They step out and start walking up to the doors

A bunch of CBots exit, Robert following right behind them

Robert

“Ah yes, welcome to- \*he notices Paul\* Oh... you... I didn’t know you’d be here...”

Paul

“It was my own choice. I love being charming in the most obnoxious way possible”

Robert

“Oh I bet you do you stuck-up little-“

Malcom

“OKAY, let’s go inside and get signing those papers huh?”

Robert

“Yes... let’s... get... signing- moment’s gone, I botched it”

CBot Mini jumps up

CBot Mini

“You botched it really good daddy! No one botches it like you!”

Back at Randoms, Alex walks up to Malcom’s office door

Alex

“H’boy”

He walks inside and looks around

Alex (notices)

“What the-“

Alex has noticed a photo of Malcom with another group of people

￼

Alex

“It’s that same picture that’s hung outside the offices... always wondered who-“

Shade

“BRO YOU TALKING TO YOSELF!”

Alex

“WHAT THE- STOP!”

Shade

“Sorry man, I just love going behind people without their knowledge! Anyway, what‘re you looking at?”

Alex

“Oh just a- hey the keys!”

A massive keyring is attached to the wall, so many keys, a ridiculous amount of keys

Alex

“H’boy...”

Shade

“Well there’s only one way to find out which key is right! Test every key, one by one, very slowly, very carefully, make sure everything is perfectly alright!”

As Shade talks, time slows down as we zoom into Alex, who looks dead inside

Back at the door, the Oddity crew is there, along with Tim humming from behind the door

Tim

“Y’know, this book’s pretty interesting from a scientific perspective!”

Jameson

“What’s it about?”

Tim

“Sorcery! Did you know there’s a spell that can raise the dead? It’s never worked, but the book says that’s actually always the president’s fault!”

Jameson

“Yeah, I would never even attempt that...”

Alex and Shade walk over

Shade

“Key ring babyyyyy!”

They all stare at it for a moment

Safety Ninja

“Award for most unethical key organization goes to”

Anne

“Bro, that should be a real award”

Safety Ninja

“Right! What if there was just an award show for organization, I WOULD SLAY, THEN MOP UP THE REMAINS!”

Anne

“AAAAAW YEAH!”

Alex

“Okay move, stop being adorable, I’m going to do this thing- key thing- so many keys- I hate everything!”

Shade

“What an amazing bonding experience!”

Back at CreaTech

Malcom

“Well, I gotta say I’m pretty impressed on how well you were able to pick yourself back up Robert!”

Robert

“Why thank you! After the disaster last year, I’m not stupid enough to directly attack your company ever again!”

Paul

“Directly? So you would attack by other means?”

Robert (nervous and angry)

“That’s not what I meant! I meant no more villain stuff! I’ll continue to be a business rival though of course!”

Malcom

“Mmmhmm, let’s get to that contract”

Paul glares at Robert, clearly suspicious

Back at Randoms, Alex and the Oddity crew are trying out key after key

Alex

“Nope, nope, nope, nope, EVERYTHING SUCKS! Nope, nope, nope, nope-“

Shade

“Uh, WHAT THE-“

Alex

“What, what’d you see? Oh...”

A massive robot stands there, intimidatingly

Alex

“Where’d this come from?!”

Shade

“Paul was working on it, it must’ve gone feral!”

Another crash, a hydra runs up, screeching and spitting

Alex gestures it annoyed

Safety Ninja

“That’s our bad...”

Anne

“Yeah...”

Safety Ninja

“We we’re covering for Nick while he was on his northern vacation”

Anne

“We failed”

Alex

“WHAT ELSE?!”

Jameson walks over holding five bowls

Jameson

“Soup time, I love soup, who doesn’t love soup?!”

Safety Ninja

“Is this your famous ‘rectodile soup?’ I hate that...”

Jameson

“Yes, you love it! See it works both ways”

Safety Ninja

“What?”

The hydra and robot run at our main group

Alex

“RUN!”

They do, the monsters following

Tim (muffled)

“WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT THERE?! \*sigh\* I miss food... oh hey, 80s name brand candy!”

Back at CreaTech

Paul

“So Robert, what are you planning?”

Robert (annoyed)

“Nothing”

Paul

“Really? Explain the fact that you invited Malcom, last time you did that you attempted to poison him for no reason besides money gain”

Robert

“Well actually there was a bit more to it-“

Paul

“ADMIT IT!”

Robert

“No”

Malcom

“Paul, with me please”

In the closet

Malcom

“Dude, I’m all for annoying Robert, but do you really think I’m stupid enough to fall for any traps? He fooled me once, never again”

Paul

“Well-“

Malcom looks at him disapprovingly

Paul

“Got it... I’ll continue being annoying though”

Malcom

“I’m all for it buddy”

Paul

“Yeah... sorry for underestimating your intelligence”

Malcom

“It’s fine, people do it all the time! Shall we get back?”

Paul

“Yeah... what’re the contracts for actually?”

Malcom

“It’s a peace treaty, he’s never touching me again!”

Paul

“Whoa! Really? That’s awesome!”

Malcom

“Oh yeah, I’m dealing with all my rivals one at a time, once he’s done all that’s left is Laura Boyer”

Back at Randoms

Alex

“THIS COULDN’T BE LESS FINE!”

All five are running from the robot and the hydra

Alex

“Shade! Shapeshift or something!”

Shade

“Oh yeah! Okay!”

He turns into a massive robo-hydra, and lunges at the opposition. They wrestle, until eventually pinning them to the ground

The remainders turn a corner and take a break, all panting heavily

Jameson

“Ow... my abs...”

Alex

“Yeah... wow... uh... ow... hey wait a minute, I could use those monsters to wreck the closet door!”

Safety Ninja

“Uh... what?!”

Anne

“Yeah, talk about suicide!”

Alex

“Well hey, if it works it works, what could go wrong?”

Anne

“So many things”

Alex

“Yeah I know, I was being sarcastic”

Safety Ninja

“Why don’t you just tell Malcom that you don’t want to run the company!”

Alex

“Oh c’mon, do you honestly think he’s listen to me?”

Safety Ninja

“I mean, you’re his son, if he’d listen to anyone, it’d be you!”

Alex opens his mouth, then closes it again, clearly considering something

Alex

“Well, I don’t know... let’s try my hydra idea...”

Back at CreaTech, Malcom and Paul are leaving

Malcom

“Thank you for the hospitality”

Robert

“Oh yeah, sure, no problem”

Paul

“Goodbye silly boy!”

Robert

“Uh-huh, yeah”

He slams the door

Malcom

“Jameson, Robert, now all we have  to deal with is madame Boyer!”

Paul

“Oh yeah!”

They cheer

CBot Mini walks out

CBot Mini (loudly)

“Excuse me? Stop shouting please, daddy has a headache, and is trying to sleep!”

Back at Randoms

Alex

“Okay, lord I hope this works”

Safety Ninja

“Yeah, me too... I don’t want to die painfully”

Alex

“Yeah no, me neither really”

Cut back to Shade, who is now running away

Jameson and Anne are waiting around the corner for him

Jameson

“Hold on, what are we supposed to be waiting for again? George right?”

Anne

“George? You mean Shade?”

Jameson

“Yes him too... oh here he comes, guess I’ll throw the note at him now”

Anne

“No, that’s my job, Alex didn’t trust you with that...”

Jameson

“Ugh! How rude of him!”

Anne

“You’re a moron”

She throws a crumpled piece of paper at Shade, it hits him the in the face. He quickly uncrumples it and sighs in exasperation

Shade

‘What is this? Pick on Shade day...”

He yells at the monsters to follow him, this angers them so they follow him more aggressively, as he starts leading them to the door

Back at the door

Alex

“Yeah y’know, it’s a- OH LORD-“

The monsters arrive

Alex

“Run run run!”

Safety Ninja

“Gladly!”

They run, as the monsters crash into the door, sending dust flying

As the dust clears, Alex and Shade peek around the corner

Alex

“Please tell me that worked... (it didn’t) WHAT IS THIS DOOR MADE OF?!”

Malcom

“Pentoak”

Alex

“WHAT THE-“

Malcom

“Yeah hi, I’m back... let me deal with these real quick”

He runs off to fight the monsters

Paul walks over

Paul

“I’m back too. Malcom has a little reveal for you, about the trial”

Alex

“He does? What?”

Paul

“Well-“

Malcom walks back over

Malcom

“K, you passed”

Alex

“Wait what...”

Malcom

“Yeah, y’see Pentoak wood is impossible to destroy, and I had the key, there was literally no way to open that door”

Alex

“So what was the point of ANY OF THIS?!”

Malcom

“To make sure you wouldn’t give up”

Alex raises his eyebrows

Malcom

“A true Randoms CEO doesn’t give up in the face of unending peril, or demonic evils, or whatever the heck we’re fighting. A Randoms CEO keeps getting back up and fighting! And Alex, you proved that you can do that! Tim inherited my guts, but you inherited my brains... and you both have a bit of your mom in you...”

Alex

“Oh... we should probably let Tim out...”

Malcom

“Yeah... you wanna do it?”

Alex

“Sure”

He grabs the key from Malcom and unlocks the door. Tim falls out backwards (he was leaning on the door

Tim

“Oh hey family”

They cheer

Alex

“Okay, I’m going to sleep. Every bone in my body hurts”

He trudged off

Malcom smirks as Alex leaves

Tim

“What?”

Malcom

“You’ll see, I think everything’s gonna turn out fine from here on out”

Hard cut, The Eye of Agoro is shaking on a pedestal

Tucker walks over

Tucker

“What on earth... someone’s trying to activate it remotely?!”

THE END
