Nightmare Mode/Transcript

[Theme Song Plays]

[The scene starts off where Lucks vans are parked in a place. Lucks is also on comms as well.]

Lucks: Increase the search radius and run every tracer program we have. I want them found understand?! [Lucks then gets a call from Sofia. He sighs a bit as he then picks up.] Sofia I hope you’re calling to turn yourselves in.

Sofia: HAHAHAHAHAH! Turn ourselves in? Lucks, let me make one thing clear. I’m not here to negotiate, I’m here to threaten. [Lucks turns to the TASGuard next to him to signal him to start tracing.] We can ruin you anytime we want by releasing the data on this cartridge.

Lucks: You release that data and you will never see your friends again. [Scenes the guards holding their electro batons at Masa and Belle are shown.] Surely you learned your lesson last time.

Sofia: Oh we have learned a lot Lucks. Maybe it’s time we taught you something.

Lucks: [The call has been successfully traced.] My my, Masa’s arrogance really does rub off on people. Well then Sofia since you seem so eager, let’s talk. [He tells the TASGuard to drive to their destination.]

Sofia: Okay so for this trade to work, we need to ensure everyone’s safety. I propose- [Lucks hangs up] Hello? Lucks? [Sofia then gasps as she sees some vans headed towards her direction as she starts to run away.]

[However, Sofia gets blocked and trapped as a lot of TASGuards start running after her with electro batons. Lucks also gets off of his van as well to talk.]

Lucks: Sorry to cut you off like that. I just prefer to talk face to face. [He turns to one of his TASGuards.] Find the others! They must be hiding around here somewhere!

Sofia: [A TASGuard then swipes the cartridge from Sofia.] NO!

[A TAScientist then starts to bring in the table as the TASGuard places the cartridge on the table itself.]

Lucks: Wipe the cartridge and scan for any backups made. You know the drill by now.

[Lucks just then stares at Sofia furiously as the TAScientist is still doing the wiping and the scanning of data. After some time the computer just shows that no abnormalities were found.]

Lucks: Wait this is- a normal cartridge…[The TASGuards come out to signify that they could not find Tari and Lamar at all.] You can’t find them anywhere? [Lucks starts to then realize something as he pieces them together as he looks at Sofia.]

Sofia: Hmhm~ Told you we learned a lot.~

[Lucks starts to hurriedly go into the computer as he furiously types to check the server. Surely enough he finds that there is a data anomaly in the server.]

Lucks: ….She rode the connection into the server…SHE WAS WARPED INTO THE CARTRIDGE!

[The scene cuts to Lamar and Tari in their car as Tari has glowing eyes to represent she has warped into the cartridge.]

Lamar: …Good luck girl.

[The scene then cuts to the main presentation room as a call is being made there. The TAScientists were hesitant as one slowly present the button.]

Lucks: TARI’S TRYING TO RESCUE COCONUT BOY! SHE’S INFILTRATED THE SERVER! IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW SHE DID IT! JUST ACTIVATE THE QUARANTINE PROGRAMS! NOW!!! URRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

Sofia: Hahaha~ That’s not going to stop her! You want her out of there, you’re going to need a total server reboot. And I’m guessing only you HAVE the permission to activate one of those. Dontcha mister control freak? Lucks: [His expression turns more furious as he then as then growls furiously.] GGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRR!!!! [He talks to his TAStaff.] THROW HER IN WITH THE REST OF THE TRASH AND GET US BACK TO TASCORP!!! GO!!! [The TASGuards obeys his orders.]

Sofia: [Gets into the van with Belle and Masa.] Hey guys! Good to see you again.

Belle: So glad you could join us Sof. How’s things on the outside?

Sofia: Oh! Good. It’s all going according to plan. Once Tari busts Theo out, Lucks loses all leverage, and we can finish him off by releasing the server data.

Masa: Okay Sofia, but what about the part where WE are still hostages?

[Everyone well gasps at how silly their situation is especially the TASGuard who thought about how silly it was for Sofia to not think that through.]

Sofia: Leeet’s all just have faith that Tari knows what she is doing.

[The scene cuts to Tari free falling into the game itself.]

Tari: OWAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

[Theo is seen using his coconut to try to swipe at the Bird Bats.] Theo: Hrgh! Hmm! HRGH! SHOO SHOO! [Tari is heard screaming as she is falling down.] Huh? [Tari gets closer to Theo’s view.] Tari?

Tari: AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! [She then stomps on a birdbath as she fancily stomps on other facepalms as she gets into fighting stance.]

Theo: Tari! You’re here!!! Wait you’re here-… Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Tari: Well I came here to save you.

Theo: OHHHH! That’s a good thing! [Some facepalms start to try to tackle Tari.] Ah! Look out! [He throws his coconut at the facepalms.]

Tari: [Tari takes the rebound of the coconut as she then starts to melee the facepalm with it.] HHAAAAAAHHH!! HAH! [She then throws the coconut thus demolishing three facepalms in one go as it returns back to Theo.]

Theo: Whoa, Tari! Why are you cool now?

Tari: What do you mean? What was I before?

[Before Theo has a chance to say anything some quarantine bots start the siren as they are approaching.]

Theo: Aough! Would these things stop following me?!

Tari: It’s alright Theo. We can take them. [She then runs off as she then takes a rock as she circles over it with her hands before tossing it in the air before wheel kicking it to hit a Quarantine Bot as it then crashes into the cube.

[The scene cuts to a TAScientist playing Pocket Gakusei.]

Hinata: Senpai…I… I LOVE-

[The screen glitches out as it shows that the Pocket Gakusei save file is deleted. The TAScientist raises their fist up into the air as he then gets on his knees in sadness.]

Tari: Hmhmhm~ [Theo could be seen struggling against the quarantine bots.] Huh? Uh? Theo! Trick shot!

Theo: Huh? [He then gets it as he then jumps on some Quarantine Bots as he throws his coconut at the tree.] Aha!!

[The coconut rebounds off the tree as it chain demolishes the quarantine bots that were there.]

Theo: WOO HOO!!! It’s a COMBO KILL!!!

Tari: [Runs up to a pineapple medal] Hey Theo I need to borrow your coconut for a second okay? [Tari then grabs the coconut as she absorbs the pineapple medal as the coconut starts to change into multiple items.]

Theo: Ah! You broke it!

Tari: It’s just a memory glitch. Don’t worry it’ll be worth it. Just keep them busy for me okay? [Theo dodges the quarantine bot as he is getting chased by them as Tari keeps on cycling through as she gets a totem head for one cycle, a bot boy for another cycle that says “Greetings Friends!”, the Elder Tomato that says “The Papaya people-“, a facepalm for another cycle as she keeps on cycling.]

Theo: Tari! Do something awesome soon please?!

Tari: Alright I’m done. Watch this. [She has the crab king in her palm.] Crab King! I choose you!!! [She puts the Crab King up as she raises her arm up above as a big glow happens as the screen turns to white. As the screen returns to normal the Crab King then becomes massive as it then starts chasing the Quarantine Bots.]

Theo: Wahey! [Tari celebrates with Theo too.] Yeah! Watch out crazy nightmare world! Tari and Theo are at it again! T N T is back!!! But my coconut’s run away. Am I getting that thing back?

Tari: Check behind you.

Theo: [He looks behind him as the Coconut spawns into his back.] Wow… Belle really taught you a lot at TASCorp huh?

Tari: Yeah- I- I guess she did. And she managed to get you through most of the game too. But we’ve got to get through this last bit together before Lucks pulls a server reboot. That is if a critical game crash doesn’t get us first.

Theo: What does it mean for us if we are still in here when that happens?

[A rock glitches as a facepalm inside is screaming in agony as it then gets sucked into the rock.]

Tari: Leeet’s not stick around long enough to find out.

Theo: Yeah we should go. [Both Tari and Theo start to go.]

[The scene cuts to Lucks on his tablet furious.]

Lucks: The quarantine FAILED?!?!

Sofia: TOLD YOUUU!!! [She gets shocked by the TASGuard. Lucks sets up the barrier once again.] Worth it.

Lucks: This isn’t working. [Sighs as he thinks and then finds a solution.]

[The scene then cuts to Evelyn still stuck inside the pod where the TAScientists are fixing the door panel.]

Evelyn: YOU CALL YOURSELVES SCIENTISTS?!?! YOU CAN’T EVEN FIX A BROKEN DOOR PANEL! I SWEAR ONCE I’M OUT OF HERE I WILL HAVE YOU REASSIGNED TO THE SEWER’S MAINTENANCE DIVISION! [The TAScientists were about to leave after being annoyed.] I don’t hear fixing! [Evelyn gets frustrated as she sits down. She then jolts as she gets a call from Lucks. She then picks up.] Sir I am so glad you called, I’ve had a think and I’ve come up with a few plans on how to salvage my showcase match. First-

Lucks: Evelyn, stop and listen to me. Things are spiraling right now and I can’t give you a new show match. But how does a rematch sound instead?

Evelyn: [Starts to smile as the door finally opens as the TAScientists come in. Evelyn gets up to shout at them.] Close the door you dolts!!! Can’t you see I am on the phone?! [The TAScientists just get annoyed and get out as one of them drops their toolset. Evelyn talks back to Lucks.] That sounds lovely sir.

[The scene cuts to Tari and Theo as they make their way across.]

Tari: Theo! Let’s go.

Theo: Wahey!

[Then a montage of Tari and Theo going through the level happens. The first scene have them jumping on the Bird Bats as they make their way across. The second scene have them running through the spikes as they glitch out as they stop to wonder what happened as they then just keep on going. The third scene has them going up something vertical as Tari just uses a Bird Bat to get up as she is jumping on it as Theo just throws his coconut and dives into the wall to rebound and throw the coconut again. The fourth scene shows a group of facepalms there as Tari uses her AI vision to scan for the most efficient way to beat them all as she sees a wall she and Theo can take shelter in. Both Tari and Theo go inside the wall as the facepalms try to follow but can’t go past the wall as all of them line up against the wall. Theo and Tari nod as Theo takes out his coconut out at the facepalms lined up as he runs to mow them down one by one until no facepalms were left. They celebrate as it then cuts to the fifth scene where they can see the flag in sight.]

Theo: Crackerjack! The last flag! We’re out of here! [A type of quake or shaking is happening in the game.] Is this it?! Is the game crashing?!

Tari: No… Worse.

[An abomination is spawning from the lava as Evelyn is laughing maniacally.]

Tari: It’s Evelyn….

[The abomination that Evelyn is controlling roars.]

Evelyn: Warning! Challenger approaching.~ You know you took something from me today.

Tari: Theo she’s just a distraction. Focus on the flag alright?!

Theo: R-Right! [They both then try to hurry to the flag.]

Evelyn: Today was supposed to be the final step on my way to greatness. [She shoots a beam full of facepalms apparently.] But just as I was about to reach my destiny- YOU stood in my way! [Tari was about to reach the flag as Evelyn puts her claw right in front to block her.] So I think it’s only fair that I stand in yours. [She takes the flag as she puts it on top of her head.] You want this flag?~ Come and get it!

Tari: Urrrrggggghhhh! Theo: AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! [He starts to jump and platform his way around Evelyn’s monstrosity of an avatar in game.] I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU GLITCHES! [He does more jumps as Evelyn then flings him high into the air as Theo uses this opportunity to roll with speed as Evelyn tries to block. Tari then picks up a rock as she wheel kicks into Evelyn making her drop her guard as Theo then rolls straight into Evelyn as the screen then distorts to black. As the black screen clears Tari and Theo have only a brief celebration before Evelyn spawns back again.]

Tari: Uh oh- [She uses her AI vision to scan Evelyn as it is shown that she has infinite life cheat enabled.] Really Evelyn?! Cheating?!

Evelyn: Oh ho! I’m cheating? You’re the one with built in aimbots and speed run tools. The cheats stay on thank you very much.

[Evelyn swings her claw as she slams it down once and misses and slams it down again and demolishes them. Both Tari and Theo spawn once more as Evelyn is on hot pursuit of them as she tries to slam her claw down but they jump to dodge this time.]

Tari: THEO! Move!

[Both Tari and Theo jump to the side as Evelyn slams down her claw. They then try to jump but Evelyn swipes her claw and flings them into the lava thereby demolishing them once more as they spawn in once again. Evelyn slams her claw once again as they dodge it but then gets demolished once more as Evelyn shoots her facepalm laser. They respawn once again as this time Evelyn keeps combo demolishing them by swinging and slamming her claw down at them. One time she slams them into a wall as she swipes them again to throw them far away in the rock.]

Evelyn: You know I think killing you over and over again is the most fun I’ve ever had playing video games!

[Tari uses her AI vision as it shows that they only have one life left for both her and Theo.]

Theo: Tari…What do we do? We can’t beat her.

Tari: Ugh- I told you. We don’t need to beat her. We just need to get to the flag. [She scans the avatar now revealed to be named the Glitchmoth as she sees the flag.]

[The scene cuts to Lucks seeing his tablet at the game as he also checks the GPS as there is only 6 minutes left until arrival. Then the scene switches back to Tari using her AI vision to then calculate a strategy.]

Tari: Theo listen… I’ve got a plan. But we’ve got only one shot at it.

Evelyn: You know it’s rude to talk among yourselves when I am the party that’s present! [She then tries to tackle them both as Theo then starts to run off as she stops dead in her tracks to mock him.] Awww!~ Abandoning each other are we?~ [She stabs her claw into the ground as Tari dodges.]

Tari: [Picks up a rock] No, I just thought we’d figure out- [Evelyn stabs her claw into the ground again as Tari dodges to the side.] if you really can beat me one on one!

[Evelyn shoots her facepalm laser at Tari as she keeps on dodging. Tari then throws the rock at the laser as it stops it as the rock then starts to cycle through the items found in the game as she is panting a bit.]

Evelyn: Alright you finally want to fight fair now. Go on then. It’s not my time you’re wasting.

Tari: Don’t worry, this will be over quickly. [The rock cycles into a kind of bone thingie, the coconut, three arrows, and finally the pineapple hammer that Tari uses as she then grabs it and gets ready in her fighting stance.]

Tari & Evelyn: FINAL ROUND! LET’S GO!
