SCENE 1: Shot of Singleton.

Narrator: The city of Singleton. Possibly one of the

most peaceful and happy places in Australia,
home to one of the most--

ACTION: THE FOUR VILLAINS JUMP DOWN FROM UNDER THE

SHOT, AND START HURTING PEOPLE, WREAKING HAVOC.

Narrator: Uh, whoa, I take back what I said, haha. I

guess I have to introduce these guys.

Action: CUTS TO SHOT OF MASTERMAN, ON BLUE/BLACK

BACKGROUND.

Narrator: This… is MasterMan. He’s the leader of the

group of villains. He’s very arrogant, and very
headstrong. He attacks with his unnatural
strength, and his punches can send an ordinary
human flying.

Action: WHEN STRENGTH IS MENTIONED, MASTERMAN DOES

SOMETHING TO DEMONSTRATE, E.G. PICKS UP
SOMETHING, THROWS PUNCH, ETC. CUT TO BLADEDUDE.

Narrator: This… is BladeDude. He is the main attacker of

the group. He is a sword fanatic, and

apqparently has a large collection. With him he

carries two swords and two knives. He is very
excitable, and tends to rush ahead, which does
cause a lot of trouble for him.

Action: WHEN SWORDS ARE MENTIONED, BLADEDUDE PULLS OUT

SWORDS AND SWINGS THEM, THEN PUTS AWAY. CUT TO
QUICKCHICK.

Narrator: This… is QuickChick. She is the scout of the

group, and is extremely quick. Unexpectedly,
she is actually very mellow, but won’t hesitate
to insult someone. She always rushes in and
attacks others with slaps and trips.

Action: AT THE MENTION OF SLAPS AND TRIPS, QUICKCHICK

AIR SLAPS AND TRIPS. CUT TO LOUDBOY

Narrator: This… is LoudGuy. He is the main defence of the

group. LoudGuy is very loud and annoying. He
likes attention. He can yell so loud that the
sound waves can temporarily stun people or
sometimes, even knock them out.

Action: LOUDGUY DOES A SONIC BOOM, AND CAMERA FUZZES

OUT TO BLACK.

Narrator: Anyway, back to the story at hand.

Action: CUT TO SUPERVILLAINS ATTACKING CITY

MasterMan: WAHAHAHAHA!! We shall RULE Singleton, then THE

WORLD!!

BladeDude: Shouldn’t we take baby steps first? I mean, why

not take over somewhere smaller next… Like
Cessnock?

QuickChick: But… Cessnock is kind of a dump…

LoudGuy: Hey! I was born there!

QuickChick: My point exactly.

LoudGuy: Am I not an important part of this team!

QuickChick: No… Not really.

LoudGuy: Why you little…! I’m going to shove your head

straight into the damn footpath!

QuickChick: Bring it on!

BladeDude: Guys, guys, come on. Settle down. We have havoc

to wreak.

MasterMan: Yeah, stop wasting time, guys! Let’s go!

Action: ALL START RUNNING AROUND, LAUGHING, ETC. TWO

SUPERHEROES JUMP DOWN.

Planticus: STOP THERE, FIENDS! IT IS I, PLANTICUS!

BladeDude: (to group) Oh god, it’s these bozos. They

really don’t know when to stop, do they?

QuickChick: No, they don’t get the message.

Cubinator: YES! I, THE CUBINATOR, AND MY PARTNER,

PLANTICUS, ARE HERE TO ST—

LoudGuy: Partner? Are you two dating?

Planticus: Wh--NO! WE WILL VANQUISH YOU! PLANT POWERS!

ACTIVATE!

MasterMan: God, he’s worse than Noodle Man.

BladeDude: You’re telling me.

Action: PLANTICUS SHOOTS PLANT WHIPS AT MASTERMAN, WHO

PULLS THEM TOWARDS HIM, SENDING PLANTICUS
SHOOTING TOWARDS MASTERMAN. FLICKS PLANTICUS
TOWARDS A WALL WHERE HE LANDS, THEN GETS UP.

Cubinator: CUBE THROW!

Action: CUBINATOR THROWS CUBES AT MASTERMAN, WHO

CATCHES THEM AND THROWS THEM AWAY.

MasterMan: It’s go time.

Action: ALL EVILS RUSH TOWARDS THE TWO HEROES.

BLADEDUDE AND LOUDGUY TAKE CUBINATOR, WHILE
QUICKCHICK AND MASTERMAN TAKE PLANTICUS.
LOUDGUY DOES A SONIC YELL WHICH PARALYSES
CUBINATOR AND BLADEDUDE DOES A SPINNING SLICE
AND CUBINATOR FALLS TO THE GROUND. CUT TO THE
OTHERS. QUICKCHICK RUSHES IN AND REPEATEDLY
SLAPS PLANTICUS. MASTERMAN THEN RUSHES IN AND
PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE, SENDING HIM FLYING.

MasterMan: Maybe you should “Grow a pair”!

Action: ALL FACEPALM

Cubinator: We… we will return. To the gym!

Action: CUBINATOR THROWS RED CUBE, WHICH EXPLODES,

MAKING THE SCREEN WHITE, ACCOMPANIED WITH WHITE
NOISE. WHEN THE VILLAINS RECOVER, THE DUO IS
GONE.

MasterMan: DAMN! Where’d they go..?

QuickChick: The gym, dumbass. They said that.

LoudGuy: Let’s get ‘em! WE’LL SMASH ‘EM!

BladeDude: Nah, let’s leave them. They could use a

workout.

MasterMan: Yeah, good idea. Let’s go back to the base.

We’ll work out our next plan of action from
there. These pesky “heroes” are really slowing
us down.

SCENE 2: THE GYM

Action: THE GOODIES ARE WORKING OUT WITH TINY WEIGHTS,

STRUGGLING. MONTAGE OF THAT, THEN SHOW THE DUO
LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS.

Cubinator: Dude, I think we’re ready.

Planticus: Yeah. High five!

Action: THE TWO HIGH FIVE, AND THE FORCE SENDS BOTH
FLYING. BOTH GET UP.

Planticus: I think we trained a bit much.

Cubinator: Let’s go!

Action: BOTH WALK OUT. MAN STOPS THEM.

Man: Sir, we need you to pay.

Cubinator: Move.

Action: CUBINATOR PUSHES MAN OUT OF HIS WAY, GRINNING.

SCENE 3: EVIL LAIR

Action: ALL EVILS ARE GATHERED IN A CIRCLE, MUMBLING.

MasterMan: Guys. Guys. GUYS!

Action: ALL SHUT UP.

MasterMan: Okay, so we have figured out the trap. The

‘good’ guys will waltz in here, thinking that
they can beat us, and then we take them, and
lock ‘em up. That way, we can wreak havoc
whenever we want, without having to stop to
thrash them again. Alright? So remember, we-
