Chapter 1
ZPL Studios Presents a Zeth Raltier and Kris Jerran Production
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Okay, okay, so it was pretty recent and nearby... But that doesn't sound impressive now, does it?!
Episode IV:
THE REALLY BIG GUN!
It is a period of extreme strife. Our heroes, hungry and lost
yet again, have stumbled upon the hidden filming studio
of a new science fiction movie. Desperate for a cast,
the director begs and pleads for them to stay and help.
Thrilled by this turn of events, Ash and Company
sign contracts filled with lots of legal terms that
they don't understand at all.... In very small print!
Now, as the stars of a possible hit movie, our heroes
must don their new costumes, and get ready to save the
universe from the evil Rocket Imperium, who have just
completed construction of a really, really big ray gun...
We're talking a whopper here!!! I mean, this is one really huge...
Director: GET ON WITH IT!!!!!
Um, okay... on with the story...
We start over the desert planet of Tatoon, where a little, tiny ship
is running from a big, nasty, wedge-shaped monstrosity that's
shooting at them... (That's why they're running)
Pursued by these really mean people, Princess Misty, custodian
of the stolen plans to the really big gun, tries desperately to think of
ways to escape, so that she can save herself and her people, and restore
peace and freedom and all-around happiness to the galaxy.....
Chapter 1: Blueprint Blues
*An explosion rocks the little ship Tantalus VI, as the Imperial Starbuster scores a direct hit. On board the ship, two robots are thrown around by the force of the blow, as men with guns and funny hats run past.*
3-JPO: Did you hear that?! They're shooting at us! We're all gonna die and it's just the first scene! This is crazy!!!!
M2-D2: Beep, beep, bwooo!
3-JPO: What?
M2-D2: I said calm down, Jimmy! It's just them special defects!
3-JPO: But, Meowth! Why didn't you say that in the first place?
M2-D2: 'Cause the director guy said dat I was supposed ta beep like one of them old '80's video games. And call me Emtwo, or else he'll yell at ya again!
Director: GET BACK TO THE SCRIPT!!!
M2: Told ya!
JPO: Sorry, sir...
*Meanwhile, the men with funny hats crouch down and aim their guns at an unobtrusive white door.*
JPO: I still think we're doomed! We're all going to die now..
M2: Beep, bwee bo doop beep...
JPO: What? Forget about the princess, we're the ones in trouble!
*There are funny noises. Everyone looks at the ceiling, then back at the door. Suddenly, the door behind them explodes, and a bunch of men in white armor jump out and start hopping up and down, gleefully calling out commands to the pokémon that follow them in. The guys in funny hats throw down their guns and pull out their pokéballs. A massive battle ensues... Finally, one of the white armor dudes gets the bright idea to actually use his ray gun. He starts shooting, the hat guys shoot back, and soon most of the guys from both sides are dead on the ground. Meanwhile, M2 and JPO have escaped the mayhem by hurrying down a nearby corridor. As the last two white-armor guys shove dead bodies aside, a sinister figure enters, dressed in black leather with an awesome helmet and a cape. The figure looks at the carnage, heavily breathing through a respirator unit built into his helmet.*
*Meanwhile, in the next corridor*
JPO: Emtwo? Where'd you go? I don't wanna die alone!
*JPO spots M2, just as Misty shoves a datacard into his dome. JPO cocks his head in surprise.*
Misty: Now scat, cat! *She disappears into a cloud of smoke caused by the fighting.*
JPO: *Scolding M2* What were you doing talking to the twerp-ette? Do you have some evil scheme to snatch Pikachu?
Director: STICK TO THE SCRIPT!!!!
M2: Come on, Jimmy, shape up. She's on our side in this story! We're supposed to grab dat escape pod and leave now.
*One of the white-armored Startroopers is reporting to the figure in black, who is choking one of the hat guys.*
Startrooper: Lord Voder, the Omega Ball plans are not in the main computer.
Voder: *strangling the unfortunate hat guy* Where are those transmissions you intercepted? What have you done with those plans? *The hat guy sags in Voder's arms*
Startrooper: Sir, I think you killed him...
Voder: *Realizing that his trooper is correct* I am most displeased with his apparent lack of survival ability... Lieutenant, tear this ship apart until you find those plans! And I want prisoners to interrogate, so use STUN this time!
Startrooper: *cringing* Yes, sir.
*The Startroopers scour the ship, looking for hostages for their sinister lord. As three of them close in on her position, Princess Misty aims her ray gun at the nearest one. Just as she is about to pull the trigger, one of the pokéballs at her side opens.*
Psyduck: Psi yi yi yi yi yi!!!! *The Startroopers immediately turn and start shooting at them. Misty snaps of a shot at the frontmost one, taking him down, then grabs Psyduck and pulls him behind the machinery she was hiding behind.*
Misty: You stupid duck! Now they know where we are! *Misty leans around the corner just in time to get hit directly in the chest by a blue stun beam. She falls to the ground unconscious, and Psyduck stares down at her in confusion. The Troopers run over and stun him as well.*
Startrooper Leader: She'll be all right. Let's go tell Lord Voder that we caught him a prisoner this time!
*Meanwhile, JPO and M2 have found their way to the escape pods. M2 heads right in, but JPO stops him.*
JPO: Hey, stop! That sign says that droids aren't allowed in there.
M2: Bwee! Boodoo bee doo!
JPO: Don't call me brainless, you noseless, overweight bag of fur! I know what's going to happen to us! They'll catch us, and take all our pokémon! Then they'll make us work on an oil rig, and we'll have to eat potato skins and drink flat pop for the rest of our lives! And that's if they don't disintegrate us!
M2: You're hopeless.. Come on, get in the escape pod. *M2 reaches out his welder arm and zaps JPO in the rear.* Move it!
JPO: Oooooowww!! Meowth that hurt! *The door to the escape pod slams shut behind them, and the two droids are thrown in a heap as the pod lurches away from their battered ship.* We're alive! You did it M2! I always knew you could!
M2: Toldja! *M2 presses a few buttons and the pod suddenly dives toward the planet.* Oops...
JPO: Oops? What do you mean, oops?
M2: I never finished readin' the part of the manual dat says how ta stop dis thing!
JPO: *In a barely audible squeak* Oh....
*On the Starbuster, one of the gunners points at the window.*
Gunner 1: Look, sir. Another pod.
Gunner 2: Ah, forget it, there's no life forms aboard.
Gunner 1: So? What if two droids sneaked onboard, on a secret mission to deliver crucial plans to the Rebel Coalition?
Gunner 2: What the heck are you talking about? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!
*With a scowl on her face, Misty is led between four Startroopers to their dark commander.*
Misty: Darth Voder! Only you could be this stupid! Do you have any idea what the United Planets will do to you for this? They're going to fine you big time, and after that...
Voder: The UP will do nothing! Oh, don't act surprised -- you weren't on a mission of peace. Several top secret communications were sent to this ship by rebel spies. Now tell me what you did with the blueprints they sent you!
Misty: What nonsense is this?! I'm a member of the UP Board of Senatorial Diplomatic Directors...
Voder: You are part of the Rebel Coalition and a traitor! Lock her up!
*The Startroopers drag Misty away, as she kicks and spits. Voder majestically swirls his cape as he turns and walks away. Partway down the hall, he is met by a lieutenant.*
Lieutenant: Holding her is dangerous, Lord Voder. What if word of this gets to the UP? It could generate support for the Coalition on the Senatorial Board of Directors.
Voder: Let me worry about the Senatorial Board of Whatever-it-was... Where did they come up with all those stupid bureaucratic names anyway?
Lieutenant: Uh...
Voder: Forget it... I have traced the Rebel spies to the Princess, and now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
Lieutenant: She'll die before she tells you anything!
Voder: So will you, if you keep annoying me. *The lieutenant runs off in a panic, but another one takes his place* Eh.. Not another one. What do you want?
Lieutenant 2: Lord Voder, the Omega Ball plans are not on board, and there have been no outgoing transmissions. An escape pod was jettisoned during the battle, but no lifeforms were aboard.
Voder: Hmm.. Now I know this must not seem obvious to your pathetic little minds, but if my ship was being overrun by a bunch of idiot Startroopers, I would probably hide the plans in a pod and jettison them.
Lieutenant 2: So... what are you saying?
Voder: SEND TROOPS DOWN TO THAT DUSTBALL PLANET AND GET ME THOSE PLANS!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!
End Chapter 1
Director: CUT! Send that to editing!
Meowth: *Climbing out of his costume* Whaddya need ta edit? We did poifect!
James: Help, help! I'm stuck! Get me out of this suit! I need to go potty! *Everyone ignores him*
Misty: Oh, my head... This hairstyle is agony...
Jessie: So?! At least you have a part! I'm stuck here as the stinkin' tea lady!
Misty: Where'd Voder go anyway? I wanna know who's playing him. He sure didn't sound like anyone I know!
Director: He went to his trailer.
All: HE'S GOT A TRAILER?!?! NO FAIR!!!!!!
Misty: I want a trailer too!
Meowth: Meowth too!
Jessie: And I want a part in this movie!
James: I just wanna go potty!!!!!
Will our valiant droids deliver their message? Will Princess Misty escape the clutches of Darth Voder? Will they find out the Syth Lord's true identity? And will anybody get a new trailer? Find out, when Poké Wars continues....
James: Somebody help me! *sob*
