INT. COMPUTER ARCADE - DAY
DYSON sits in front of a computer, playing a VIDEO GAME.
Surrounding him are a group of the STALKERS, also all playing
games.
Suddenly Dyson POPS out of his chair.
DYSON
And the magnificent Dyson wins
again! Apparently they don't know
how to play "Counterstrike" in the
future, huh?
The Stalkers look angry and redouble their efforts at the
game.
INT. UNION 3RD FLOOR - DAY
Vivyanne, Chase, Wyatt, and Melody stand around a 3D MAP of
campus. Vivyanne points a LASER POINTER at areas of interest
on the map. She still has her STAFF.
In the background, terrified students cling to each other.
VIVYANNE
The infinite stalkers control these
areas of campus, and will soon move
into these. But my survey of
security cameras shows they haven't
entered this building yet ... the
location of Professor Intron's lab.
MELODY
They must not know where it is,
then.
CHASE
Let's hope not.
VIVYANNE
Take the utility tunnels down this
path. They'll take you straight to
the basement, where you can take
the elevator up. You'll be hidden
from view the entire way.
MELODY
What about you?
VIVYANNE
I'll go find professor Intron, and
convince him to stop his research.
That will guarantee our success.
WYATT
Seeing that this is the second time
his work has threatened the world,
that shouldn't be a problem.
Wyatt, Chase, and Melody head for the main stairs, when they
suddenly hear the sound of many footsteps approaching.
MELODY
Oh no, they're here!
VIVYANNE
Take the maintenance stairs down,
you should be able to reach the
tunnels from there.
WYATT
Sounds like a plan. Let's roll.
MELODY
Thank you, Vivyanne.
Vivyanne nods. Wyatt, Chase, and Melody run off. Vivyanne
runs off in the other direction.
INT. HAYWORTH HALL ELEVATOR - DAY
Melody, Chase, and Wyatt all stand at the ready as the
elevator goes up.
CHASE
Do we know what to look for when we
get there?
WYATT
Yeah, we'll know. Got your anti
time machine tools ready?
Chase and melody both hold up IMPROVISED CLUBS, as does
Wyatt.
MELODY
I'll be very happy once we send
those stalkers back where they came
from.
The heroes wait patiently as the elevator goes up floor by
floor. Then the doors open, revealing a hallway FULL OF THE
STALKERS.
WYATT
Aw, hell.
CHASE
The lab is at the end of the hall,
right?
WYATT
We can't make it there without
taking them all out.
Melody summons her strength.
MELODY
Maybe we can.
Melody strides out into the hallway, into the lion's den.
MELODY
Hello ... uh ... fans. I realize
you've all come a very long way to
be here today. I know that it has
something to do with me and my
music.
STALKER SEVEN
I love you Melody!
MELODY
I'm glad you like what I'll create
someday. And I appreciate the ...
effort you've gone to. But what
you're doing right now, it's wrong.
Very wrong. You've played with the
forces of nature. And because of
it, you've endangered the world.
Soon everything will be destroyed.
Unless you stand back and let us
through, so we can stop it.
STALKER EIGHT
But ... if you do that, then I'll
go back ... without you.
MELODY
I know you just wanted to see me,
but that can't happen, not now. If
you help us, I promise I'll see you
in the future. Just write me a
letter or something. But now you
MUST stand aside, or everyone will
die. Including you. Including me.
STALKER NINE
You're right. How could I have
been so irresponsible. Go, Melody.
Do what you must. I'm so sorry.
Maybe one day we'll meet again.
WYATT
Yeah, won't that be special.
CHASE
Shhh.
Half of the Stalkers in the hallway nod, and step aside. But
many do not.
STALKER TEN
No, it can't be true. It's all
lies. You just want to get rid of
me! I won't let you reject me! I
won't let you send me back!
The "evil" Stalkers now get agitated and move towards the
heroes. But the "good" Stalkers hold them back, and a huge
struggle ensues.
STALKER NINE
Go now Melody! Set things right!
The heroes charge forward. They are mostly unopposed, and
any Stalker that gets in their way is struck down with an
IMPROVISED CLUB.
As the SAVE members reach the door to the lab, it is opened
from the inside. There we see a BLOODY STALKER, carrying a
BLOODY MACHETE in one hand and a GUN in the other. The
Bloody Stalker points the GUN at our heroes.
Suddenly he is struck over the head by a CHAIR. We see the
person that hit him ... BAXTER HAS COME TO THE RESCUE!!!
Baxter looks like crap, but is still walking.
CHASE
Baxter!
BAXTER
Now we're even. Go do what you
came here to do. I'll bar the
door.
Chase, Melody, and Wyatt quickly rush in. They head for the
back of the room where they rifle through FILE CABINETS and
LOOK AT COMPUTERS.
Meanwhile Baxter wedges the chair in the door, and tries to
keep the Stalkers out. Several of them bang on the door.
WYATT
What are we looking for?
Melody spies one piece of equipment in particular ... the
miniature TIME MACHINE seen in Episode 2.
MELODY
This must be it!
She winds up and SMASHES it good.
Suddenly the pounding stops. Baxter takes the chair away
from the door, and opens it. Nothing.
All four of them go out into the hallway, which is now empty.
Chase runs to a window, and pulls away the curtain. No
hordes of Stalkers are in view.
CHASE
It worked. It actually worked.
The heroes just stare at each other, and around, taking it
all in.
INT. SAVE HQ - DAY
CHASE is holding the "WORLD SAVED" sign. He happily erases
the number "1" and replaces it with the number "2".
CHASE
Twice so far this semester. Not
too shabby.
VIVYANNE
You've all done very well. And
with Professor Intron agreeing to
stop his research, you shouldn't
have to do it again.
MELODY
Plus, now the whole campus knows
that we really are heroes.
VIVYANNE
Actually, the media is reporting
that today's events were the result
of one of those internet "flash
mobs".
MELODY
Oh. How ... disappointing.
WYATT is leaning up against a wall holding a COLD DRINK to
his sore head. He points at the sign.
WYATT
I'd love to see that thing stay at
zero for a whole year.
CHASE
You're never going to become a
world-renowned physicist like me if
you've got an attitude like that.
WYATT
There was only ONE letter, Chase.
I'm sure in plenty of those futures
you're flipping burgers or
something.
CHASE
Eh. As long as I'm actually in
them, that's enough for me.
MELODY
Well said.
Melody is sitting down, looking thoughtfully at her SONG.
CHASE
At least you know what your future
holds, Melody. Fame, fortune,
success. Pretty nice I guess.
WYATT
When your popularity isn't
threatening to destroy space-time,
I'm sure it's a blast.
MELODY
Hmm. Fame, fortune, success.
Melody thinks deeply for a moment. Then she stands up.
She ceremonially TEARS APART the SONG. As the pieces fall to
the floor she says:
MELODY
F@#$ success.
As she walks away, we see the pieces of the song lay solemnly
on the floor.
