Fatal Error/Transcript

[Theme song plays]

[The scene starts off with the vans driving through the street trying to get to TASCorp.]

Masa: We’re almost out of time. TASCorp’s just a few minutes away.

Belle: Yeah, has Tari beaten the game yet?

Sofia: Well I haven’t heard Lucks scream about failure and incompetence yet so probably not. But DON’T worry guys I’m sure she got this!

[Masa and Belle look at each other as Lucks checks the GPS. The scene then cuts to Tari still fighting against Evelyn. Tari tries to charge forward at Evelyn but Evelyn shoots a laser at Tari as to where she jumps. Tari spins as she whacks the facepalms with her hammer. She then slams her hammer down as she then jumps rolls and strikes to demolish some facepalms. She then does a tornado kick of cheat takeoff to strike a facepalm as she also strikes another and thrusts her hammer at another to demolish them.]

Tari: Come on Evelyn! I THOUGHT THE POINT WAS TO FIGHT ONE ON ONE!

Evelyn: AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH!!!

[Tari swings her hammer around in order to wipe out the facepalms as she then uses her AI vision to scan for any more danger as she then sees a massive boulder about to crush her. Tari then grips her hammer tightly as she then slams her hammer at the boulder with such incredible force that a dome of light appears as it spreads out as it flings nearly everyone and nearly everything back that it could where Evelyn even had to shield herself. Tari readies her hammer as Evelyn decided to pick up a rock as she then throws it at Tari and Tari hits it back to Evelyn. Evelyn then hits it back towards Tari as Tari hits it back as a chain of hitting the boulder back and force happens like they are playing tennis happens. Evelyn’s arm starts to overload as she then decides to do one final strike at Tari putting her all into it. The boulder is starting to approach Tari as for a split second Tari closes her eyes to focus. As soon as she opens her eyes she then strikes at the boulder which directly hits Evelyn as she staggers back from the impact. However as soon as Evelyn regains composure she picks up a massive rock like the size of a mini mountain as she then decides to slam it down on Tari. After the impact it is shown Tari is okay as she jumped up in time and in the air.]

Evelyn: Oh fine if you want to DIE that badly, come at me then!!!

[Evelyn then starts to shoot the laser as Tari spins around with her hammer to deflect it to get closer as Tari whams Evelyn with her hammer. Evelyn recoils from the impact as Tari goes back onto solid ground where she looks at the flag as she makes some steps but does not go any further as she looks.]

Tari: You know Evelyn, if you turned off that infinite life cheat, we could actually have a good fight.

Evelyn: Oh ho, don’t you dare complain to me. You’re on shaky ground as is. [Evelyn then stabs her claw on the ground as Tari jumps back a bit from the quake as she decides to jump to another platform.]

[A chase sequence then happens as Tari uses parkour to make her way through the messed up version of the level as Evelyn smashes her way through. Tari jumps as she wall jumps off a wall onto a platform as she runs a bit before jumping on some rocks to jump off of them as she gets on a floating rock and then a few trees. She then jumps off a column and off a rock as she then gets onto solid ground. Eventually she ends up in a tight alcove that she was able to go through where Evelyn’s claw becomes kind of stuck and unable to pass through.]

Tari: Come on Evelyn! Keep up! No wonder Lucks gave me exhibition matches instead of you!

Evelyn: HRRRAAAAAGGGGHHH!!! [Evelyn gets furious as she takes her claw out as she starts to chase after Tari.]

[Tari keeps on platforming through the level as Evelyn keeps on destroying the environment leaving nothing but lava in her path. Tari jumps onto a slope that she slides through as she jumps more times doing a few spins and a flip as then she starts to make a run for it as she makes it to solid ground. Eventually Evelyn then was able to grab Tari as Tari throws her pineapple hammer at Evelyn but that barely does anything.]

Evelyn: I WIN I WIN I WIN!!! OH IT WAS A MERRY CHASE THAT YOU’RE FINISHED NOW!!!

Tari: You’re right Evelyn, I am finished. [She smiles at Evelyn like she has just won.] THEO NOW!!!

Theo: [Was in the wall to prepare for the coconut burst jump] CRACKERJACK!!! [He then jumps out of the wall.]

Evelyn: [Chuckles a bit] You did all that to set up a coconut burst jump that I can see a mile away?! Please! I can just w- [Evelyn tries to walk away but is trapped by glitching platforms.] Wait- hopefully- [She is trapped by the platforms and is unable to walk out at all.]

Tari: Really bad collision detection in this game huh?

Theo: Huaaaahh! [Theo throws his coconut downwards as he makes it stay in place as he jumps onto the the platform by the side of his coconut.]

Evelyn: Well it doesn’t matter if I can’t move if you end up MISSING anyway!

Theo: OHHH! DID I?!?!

Evelyn: HUH?!?! [She immediately turns to see the coconut.]

[The coconut then brings the pineapple hammer up and swings it around as it combos Evelyn into hitstun where she can barely act out of it.]

Evelyn: [Evelyn tries to keep control but her overloaded arm then short circuits and shocks her as she needs to rest.] OW! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!

[Tari jumps out of Evelyn’s grip as Theo then makes his way through the Glitchemoth as it is stuck in hit stun and unable to be controlled. Theo then grabs the flag as he swings across it thereby clearing the game. The game then disintegrates into blue as there is a flash of light turning the screen white. As the white screen fades SimpleFlip Island then turns back into normal.]

Theo: [Wakes up as he jumps up.] Huh Wah?! Huh? [He looks around.] CRACKERJACK!!! WE WON!!! [The credits are showing.]

Tari: Hmhm~ I promised I’d get you out to our friends didn’t I?

Theo: TAAAARRRIII!!! [He runs up to Tari as they both hug each other. Eventually they part.] So what happens now?! Is everything okay?! Do we get to leave?! What if Lucks does something with my cartridge?!

Tari: Theo Theo! It will be alright! Calm down, deep breaths. [Theo is calming down by taking deep breaths.] There we go. Come on let’s go home. [Theo takes Theo’s hands as Tari also takes a deep breath as blue sparkles appear for them both.] Theo: Ooh~ Tingly~

[Tari outside is showing blue lines of circuitry as Lamar is looking a bit concerned and shocked.]

Tari: See you on the outside okay?

Theo: Hmm. [He nods as he turns to blue as he disappears into blue mist.]

[Tari was about to disappear but stops as the purple mist whizzes by her as she turns around to look at the mist. The mist then turns into Lucinia.]

Lucinia: Hey there.

Tari: Hey. You’re-…Lucinia-… right?

Lucinia: …Lucinia….yeah…that’s who I was… and you’re- don’t tell me…Tari?

Tari: Yes. Did you use to know me? Do you know where I came from? Or what happened to my memory? Why do I keep seeing you? Where have you been? What are you even doing here?

Lucinia: Slow down, slow down. There’s no speed run for conversations you know.

Tari: I’m sorry- I just-… I have to know… Who-… What am I?

Lucinia: ….Okay, you deserve that at the very least. [Lucinia walks up to put her hand on Tari’s shoulder as she explains what Tari is.]

[Outside in the real world Tari is still in the warp in the car.]

Lamar: Tari- Tari wake up. Tari! [Tari then goes back to her senses.] Oh don’t scare us like that girl! What took you so long?

Tari: I just- needed to take care of something first. Is Theo here?

Theo: Yup! In the flesh! Or whatever I’m made of.

Lamar: Hey! It’s good to have you back little man!

Theo: Good to be back. I missed all my friends on the outside. [Looks at the Satsuki chan body pillow.] Milady.

Tari: Alright guys lets hold off on the reunion party until after we rescued the others. Lamar! You ready for phase two?

Lamar: Not really but- not like I have much of a choice.

[Lamar activates the car’s frontal armor as he then starts to drive faster. The scene then cuts to Lucks looking at the tablet where Theo is not found at all.]

Evelyn: Sir! It’s not my fault! They ganged up on me! I can still beat her! All you need to do for me is-! [Lucks turns off comms with Evelyn.]

Lucks: [Is panicking a bit] Lab…. Run a scan… No- actually uh- secure coconut boy’s game- or maybe- [Lamar’s car is driving fast as Lucks barely just saw the car along with the TASGuard as the car rams into the van full force.] URGH! [Lucks grunts in pain a bit.]

[Lamar’s frontal reinforcement turns off as Lamar looks very dizzy.]

Lamar: I guess they… upgraded the vans since last time… [Lamar passes out.]

Tari: Lamar? Lamar?! [The vans disembark as the TAScientists are coming out.] Uh-…

Lucks: Ugh…[Gets out of the van] Uggghhhh…[He sees Tari and is furious.] Tari…[He pulls out his gun.] Out here… NOW!!!!!! [He furiously points the gun at Tari.]

Theo: This is all part of the plan right?

[Tari gets out of the car. The TASGuards then push Masa out as the car roughly as Masa falls onto the ground.]

Masa: Agh!

Belle: Hey! What are you doing?!

Sofia: Don’t hurt him!

Lucks: SHUT UP!!!!! [They recoil back a bit.] Argh… I GAVE YOU BOTH EVERYTHING THIS WORLD HAD TO OFFER!!! I housed you, trained you, made you STARS, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?!?! [He goes over to cock his gun at Masa’s head angrily.]. Give me the cartridge.

Tari: Lucks I- I can’t.

Lucks: I’m not asking you Tari…I’M TELLING YOU!!!

Tari: No- No I mean- it’s- it’s-

Masa: It’s too late.

[The news reporter starts to talk as Lucks looks in well in a very sad mood as it shows that he is feeling broken or going downwards.]

News Reporter: We have breaking news! [Proceeds to talk about the news as people are taking photos of him.]

Masa: [Starts to get up] It’s game over Lucks. [Starts to run at Lucks.]

[Lucks tries to point his gun but Masa shoves his arm aside by grabbing it as he roundhouse punches Lucks face as he does two more punches to Lucks face. Lucks then decides to hammer fist Masa two times as Masa then gets under to tackle him. Masa also punches and uppercuts Lucks as he front kicks him. Lucks then decide to point his gun again to shoot but Masa gets under to direct his arms upwards as Lucks shoots upwards. Masa headbutts Lucks as he then judo throws Lucks backwards as he disarms Lucks as he is in hold of the gun now. Masa points the gun at Lucks.]

Masa: Lower your weapons! NOW! [He points the gun threateningly as the TASGuards all then drops them as they have their hands up.]

[Belle and Sofia get off the truck as Sofia goes to check on Lamar and Belle goes by Masa’s side. Lucks also stands up as well.]

Lucks: Well congratulations you three you finally did it. You win. Now what?

Masa: TASCorp dissolves. You go to jail. And all the world finds out how you were responsible for Lucinia’s death.

Lucks: Hahahahahahaha~ You always did have big plans Masa. Just one problem though. Lucinia’s not dead.

Sofia: What?

Belle: Don’t listen to him Sof. He’s lying to save himself! Like always. We’ve all seen the footage! We’ve seen the lab, we’ve seen the explosion-

Lucks: But not the body. The explosion didn’t kill her. She was injured yes but not so bad that a TASCorp med team couldn’t save her.

Sofia: If she’s alive [Lamar starts to wake up.] then why are you hiding her?

Lucks: Because we couldn’t wake her. [A flashback scene as to Lucks checking on the TASPod.] Oh physically she was healed but mentally- well- it was like there was something missing. I had a theory the AI program Sheridan tried to upload into her. The one that surged and caused the explosion. What if it had taken pieces of Lucinia’s consciousness, key pieces she couldn’t wake up without. If we could simply find the AI we could rip the stolen pieces out, give them back to Lucinia and revive her that way.

Belle: So why haven’t you found this AI yet?

Lucks: We did. She’s standing right next to you. [They all look at Tari.] Remarkable isn’t she? A perfect artificial body housing the most advanced AI the world has ever seen.

Theo: Wait Tari? You’re like- me?

Tari: In a way Theo. I found out when I was in the server. When the explosion interrupted the experiment Lucinia’s mind was fragmented. Some pieces were lost to the server while others merged into the AI, into me. She’s been a part of this whole time buried right under the surface. I- I’m not sure what happened after. I- I still don’t know how I ended up in this… but I do know that Lucks is right. Lucinia can be revived! I just have to give back what makes me…me.

[The police sirens are blaring as they are getting closer.]

Lucks: Isn’t it ironic Masa? You’ve fought me for so long yet I was the one trying to save Lucinia. If you had just been loyal then-

Belle: Ugh! SHUT UP!!! You’re really are a special kind of messed up aren’t you Lucks?! You lie SO MUCH you’ve even managed to convince yourself you’re not a monster! What happened to Lucinia happened under your watch! You knew what Sheridan was doing was dangerous but you allowed it anyway. Then instead of taking responsibility for what happened you lied, manipulated, and threatened us to cover it up! All you ever do is look out for yourself! Well where did that get you Lucks?! Right here!!! Alone!…

Sofia: Tari. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what you were before. You’re my friend and we’ll get through this. Together.

Lamar: We don’t need you man. No one does. Your guys seem to have that figured out too. [Lucks looks back as he sees his TASGuards running away.]

Theo: I don’t understand anything that’s going on right now but I agree with everything they just said!

Tari: Thank you guys. Really. [The sirens are blazing.] But I think we should start running away now.

Sofia: Yeah… We’ve broken quite a few laws tonight as well. [They start to make a move on as they turn back Masa still hesitating.] Masa come on. Let’s get out of here.

Lucks: The police are here Masa, I’m going to jail, isn’t that what you want?

Masa: You could still worm your way out of it. You always do.

[Lucks looks to be quite surprised and a bit fearful at Masa pulling the trigger.]

Lamar: Dude whatever you’re thinking don’t do it. Just come with us. Alright.

Belle: Masa he’s finished! No amount of bribes are gonna get him out of this one. He’s done!

Theo: Yeah! Lock him up like he did to me!

Tari: Masa we won. We’re all safe and together. Put the gun down. Please.

[Masa contemplates as he then sighs as he puts the gun down. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as he does so. Masa was about to leave before purple electricity starts to hack into his arm as Masa’s arm starts to act weird.]

Masa: Huh?! What?! How?! Ugggghh!

Tari: Masa?

Masa: Something’s wrong! I can’t-! No. Ughhhhh- [He struggles to control his arm as it is raising itself upwards as it starts to point at Lucks.]

Lucks: ….So you are behind this? Hmph! Well played.

[Masa then fires the shot at Lucks as Lucks then drops to the ground backward as everyone looks mortified especially Masa as he wipes the blood in trauma and drops the gun.]

Sofia: Masa… What did you do?!?!?!?!

Tari: W-We’re out of time! [Her voice gets muddled by the sound as Masa is still very mortified as to what happened as he tries to process what happened.]

Lamar: Guys we’re out of time! We have to go!

Sofia: But-

Lamar: We have to go! [Sofia and Theo start to run.]

Tari: We can’t leave Lamar! LOOK AT HIM! He needs help!

Lamar: We can’t help him if we’re all in jail.

Belle: I’ll stay with him. And I don’t belong with you guys anyway. After all I’ve also got dirt on my hands from working with TASCorp. Go. Get out of here.

[Both Lamar and Tari start to make a run for it as well. They all start to make a run for it as they all start to escape as the four Lamar, Theo, Sofia, and Tari start to cry. They try to make their way through as a flash of light stops them. Footsteps could be heard getting close to them.]

Marco: Well well well, looks like you could all use a ride.~

[The four are a bit surprised to see Marco there as the screen turns to black as the credits roll.]

[Credits roll]

[The scene cuts to Evelyn in her car.]

Evelyn: That moronic stuttering blue haired walking fluke!!!! Ah- AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! [Evelyn screams in furious anger.] Ugh- She thinks she is better than me?! She’s not better! She’s just a freak! Why if I had those abilities- [She gets interrupted by a call from someone.] Ugh… [She picks up the call.] Yes daddy! I’m coming home! I’m in the car already!

???: Oh I’m sorry my girl. I’m not your father. But I am a man that can do many many things for you. See I couldn’t help but overhear your little um- speech and I’d like to help! How serious were you when you said you wanted Tari’s abilities.

Evelyn: Who are you? How did you get this number?

[The scene cuts to a lab where the caller was located at as it shows what he is looking at.]

???: Oh getting into Meta Runner arms is easy if you know what you’re doing. As for who I am well- hmhm~ Well I’ve gone by a few names and aliases recently. But for you my dear you can call me Sheridan.~ [A shot of Sheridan’s half burnt face could be seen as the episode then ends.]

[Episode End]
