In medias res[]
[Four No-Visors enter the other side of Gap Room from Records.]
PLAYER
Run for it!
DR. DOKTOR
This way!
[Ninja, Dr. Doktor, Player, and Captain run to Cockpit. Ninja stops to kill an orange and lime No-Visor. The four of them reaches Cockpit. Ninja presses a button with his katana to close the door.]
Several hours earlier[]
[A car is driving slowly to the Drive-In Movie Theater.]
BLONDIE
Oh, Baggy, look! We got the whole place to ourselves! If you weren't my bestest most platonic friend ever, I'd say how romantic it feels!
BAGGY
(nervously) Ha. Ha-ha. Yeah.
BLONDIE
(anxious) Is something wrong? You seem nervous.
BAGGY
N-nope, all good here.
BAGGY
(to himself) Okay, Baggy. Tonight's the night. Time to tell Blondie how you really feel! Just need to act cool...
[Duncan suddenly appears from the ticket booth.]
DUNCAN
Greetings!
[Baggy covers his face with his paper bag as he cries. Blondie looks unimpressed at Baggy.]
DUNCAN
Sorry to startle you, young man.
[Baggy holds on the paper bag.]
BAGGY
S-startle?!
[He brings the paper bag back to his head.]
BAGGY
M-me?! (now dignified) Don't make me laugh. I'm not startled by anything!
DUNCAN
Ah-ha! Well, if that's the case, then you're the perfect vic- I mean audience for the new horror film playing tonight. The reviews are saying that it'll scare you half to death!
BLONDIE
(interested) Ooh, I'm up for a little scare! Oh, let's do it!
BAGGY
(to Blondie) But uh, Blondie, wouldn't you rather watch a nice rom-com? Maybe about you know, two childhood friends discovering their feelings for one another.
DUNCAN
Ah, I understand. With this particular film, not everyone is brave or cool enough to watch it.
BAGGY
(to Duncan) You know what? Two tickets please!
BLONDIE
Woohoo!
[Duncan gives two tickets to Baggy and Blondie.]
DUNCAN
Here you are. Enjoy the film.
[Duncan laughs wickely. The car slowly goes forward. Baggy and Blondie are weirded out.]
BLONDIE
Huh. What a strange old man.
BAGGY
Uh, yeah. Boomers, you know, they're crazy!
[The setting switches to the projection screen.]
MOVIE NARRATOR
The Curse of No-Visor!
BAGGY
(in the background) No-Visor? W-what's that? What's that supposed to mean?
BLONDIE
(in the background) Shhhh!
[In the movie, a female patient lies down in a hospital bed, while a doctor stands in the front with the face hidden from view.]
FEMALE PATIENT IN MOVIE
Oh Doctor, I don't know what to do. Everywhere I go, I see Novisor! At the supermarket, at the diner...
DOCTOR IN MOVIE
At the Doctor's office?
[The doctor in the movie turns around with the face taped on a piece of paper drawn with a mouth opened wide.]
FEMALE PATIENT IN MOVIE
No. No it can't be! Novisor!
DOCTOR IN MOVIE
No-Visor, No-Visor, we will make you one of us!
[The scene switches back to Baggy and Blondie.]
BAGGY
Oh man, this is so cheesy! I can't believe that guy talked this up so much.
[The lights from the projector turn off.]
BLONDIE
Hey! What happened?
BAGGY
I don't know!
[Baggy sticks his head out on the car window.]
BAGGY
H-hello? What gives?
[Chanting is heard.]
BLONDIE
Sounds like the audio is back atleast.
BAGGY
(stutters) B-b-b-b-b-b-bu-bu-
BLONDIE
Baggy? What's wrong?
[Outside the car, Novisor appears in front of Baggy and Blondie. Baggy and Blondie screams. Novisor passes through the car's windshield and grabs Baggy and Blondie's visor. A blob of blood lands on Novisor's cheek.]
DUNCAN
(to himself) There, that'll all do it. Master! Did I do good?
NOVISOR
No!
[Streaks of red light surround Novisor.]
DUNCAN
Can it be? The ritual! Someone has done it!
[Novisor disappears. Duncan kneels to the ground whilst laughing.]
DUNCAN
The end is upon us!
(AUL 24) The seance[]
[PoopyFarts96 narrows his visor. The candles flare as everything starts flying around the room. He raises his hands up and shakes. Wizard and Player are sitting on the floor and hugging each other, with tears on Wizard's visor.]
PLAYER
Wh-what's happening?!
WIZARD
I don't know!
[Streaks of red lightning appear. Novisor appears in the bolts.]
PLAYER
Oh my god, it's Novisor!
[Novisor morphs into a corporeal form, with the feet shackled. He lands on the meeting table. PoopyFarts96 hands over the Red Knife to Novisor.]
NOVISOR
(in a deeper voice) You have done well, my servant.
WIZARD
PoopyFarts was working with Novisor?!
PLAYER
No...
POOPYFARTS96
(farts)
[Novisor grabs the Red Knife and slices PoopyFarts96 in half. The head of PoopyFarts96 lands in front of Player and Wizard.]
PLAYER
PoopyFarts!
PLAYER
Run for it!
[Novisor turns to Player and Wizard. The two rushes to the door. The door closes trapping Wizard inside, and Novisor pounces on him. Player runs to the telephone booth.]
PLAYER
No! I don't have much time left!
[Player dials the number 25837 on the telephone.]
PLAYER
(the phone rings) Come on, come on, come on, pick up!
[In the background, Novisor bangs the door, but it does not open.]
[From outside the Airship, camera tilts down to switch setting to Ninja's Dojo. In the front yard, Ninja is standing in a ready stance while holding his katana. He slices in half the two wooden dummies in front of him. A telephone inside the dojo rings.]
NINJA
Yeah, dostano? (Yeah, who is it?)
PLAYER (ON THE PHONE)
Ninja! You gotta save me from Novisor! You're the only crewmate skilled enough to defeat him!
NINJA
Anata ha nani ni tsuite hanashite imasuka? (What are you talking about, sir?)
[A sound of breaking glass is heard. The phone's signal becomes disrupted.]
NINJA
No...visor?
[Dr. Doktor is seen in the dojo's entrance.]
DR. DOKTOR
Yes, Ninja.
[He bows to show courtesy.]
DR. DOKTOR
Forgive me for not knocking, but-
[Ninja holds the hilt of his sword while in a threatening stance.]
DR. DOKTOR
Now, now, there's no need for that.
[He sits on a pillow. Ninja sits on another.]
DR. DOKTOR
I am here to help. For you see, I'm the only hope you have in rescuing your friends. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Doktor.
NINJA
Doctor- Doktor?
DR. DOKTOR
And can you believe that my mother wanted me to become a lawyer? Pshht. Now, we have work to do. But in order to prepare you for what comes next, we have to go back to the beginning, to the true origin of Novisor.
[In a full moon night on a plain, six hooded figures are standing in a circle, surrounding a white crewmate with the feet shackled.]
DR. DOKTOR
You may have heard tales of the No-Visor being some haunted piece of coding, a literal ghost in the machine. But this is only their modern-day incarnation. The legend of Novisor goes back much more than that.
HOODED CULTISTS
(chanting) Novi sors...novi sors...novi sors!
NINJA
What are they saying?
DR. DOKTOR
Novi sors. It's Latin. Loosely translated, it means "accept fate". And it is a dark fate in store for him.
UNNAMED WHITE CREWMATE
No, please! Don't do this!
HOODED CULTISTS
Novi sors...novi sors...novi sors!
UNNAMED WHITE CREWMATE
No...no!
[A wave of dark fluid engulfs the white crewmate. The hooded figures murmur to one another. The pool of ink transforms into the shape of Novisor in a corporeal form.]
DR. DOKTOR
Poor thing. But there must be always a vessel, someone strong who the Dark One chooses to embody. I believe your friend Player is next line to be Novisor's chosen—and if we're not careful—he will doom us all.
[In Gap Room back in the Airship, Player is seen wrapped in ink, sleeping and snoring while upside down.]
PLAYER
Novisor....Novisor...
PLAYER
(startled) Huh? Hu- AAHHHH!
[Player swings his body, in fright, and hits Captain.]
CAPTAIN
(wakes up) AAAH! Oh, Player. Fancy being you here.
PLAYER
Captain?! What's going on?!
CAPTAIN
Hmm. In my professional opinion, it seems like the whole world's been turned upside down somehow.
PLAYER
That's quite possibly the dumbest thing you've ever said.
CAPTAIN
I doubt that very much.
PLAYER
Listen, we gotta figure out what's happening! Where's Novisor?
CAPTAIN
Novisor? I don't know anything about that, Player. Last thing I remember was PoopyFarts trying to stab me in the shower!
PLAYER
Wait, trying to stab you?
[In the flashback, Captain turns around to see PoopyFarts96, the unknown impostor from the original scene. He misses and stabs the part of the wall next to him. The impostor leaves Showers after seeing Captain lifeless.]
CAPTAIN
(in the background) Uh-huh. The poor fella completely missed the mark though. Must've been all that steam fogging up his visor. Luckily, thanks to my amazing impromptu acting talent, he was fooled! And I lived to fight another day.
[Scene returns to present.]
PLAYER
But Wizard said he found your body with multiple stab wounds!
CAPTAIN
I'm a really good actor. Besides, what does Wizard know? He's not a doctor-
DR. DOKTOR
(continuing what Captain is trying to say) He's not, but I am.
[Ninja and Dr. Doktor appear, standing on the ground.]
PLAYER
Ninja! And some British guy! You came! We're saved!
CAPTAIN
(genuinely amused) Wow! How are you guys standing on the ceiling like that?! That's amazing!
DR. DOKTOR
What?
PLAYER
Never mind him. Can you get us down from here?
DR. DOKTOR
Indeed. Just hang tight. Ninja.
NINJA
Hiya!
[Ninja dashes to Player and Captain to slash the ink strings attached to the ceiling. Player and Captain fall. Player lands on his feet. Captain, though, hits the ground side-first.]
CAPTAIN
Ough! I'm okay!
[Captain gets up.]
PLAYER
Thanks for your help, mister-
DR. DOKTOR
It's Doktor, actually. Dr. Doktor.
CAPTAIN
Doctor who?
DR. DOKTOR
No, doctor Doktor!
CAPTAIN
Doctor what what?
DR. DOKTOR
Enough. Novisor has toyed with its prey long enough. It will soon make its final move.
PLAYER
Final move? Ninja, what's he talking about?
NINJA
Player...
DR. DOKTOR
To put it simply, Player, you are in grave danger. And we must keep you safe. After all, you have the key to everything.
PLAYER
Wait, what? I think you have the wrong guy. I'm kind of...
DR. DOKTOR
Yes?
PLAYER
A loser.
[To comfort him, Dr. Doktor places his hand on Player's cheek.]
DR. DOKTOR
No. You are not. Far from it, you are the chosen one.
PLAYER
Chosen one?
CAPTAIN
Uh guys...? I hate to interrupt, but those No-Visors you're talking about—do they happen to, uh, not have visors?
PLAYER
Yeah, why?
CAPTAIN
Oh. No reason.
[Four No-Visors enter the other side of Gap Room from Records.]
PLAYER
Run for it!
[Ninja, Dr. Doktor, Player, and Captain run to Cockpit.]
DR. DOKTOR
This way!
[Ninja stops to kill an orange and lime No-Visor. The four of them reaches Cockpit. Ninja presses a button with his katana to close the door. Dr. Doktor sits on the captain's seat. Captain approaches Dr. Doktor.]
CAPTAIN
Hey, buddy. You're in my seat.
PLAYER
(irritated) Captain!
PLAYER
(to Dr. Doktor) So, where do we go now?
DR. DOKTOR
Don't worry. We're right where we need to be.
[Captain turns to the windshield. A portal that looks like Novisor's face spawns in front of the Airship.]
CAPTAIN
Jambalaya!
NINJA
(speaks with Japanese accent) What is that?
PLAYER
Whatever it is, steer us away from it! Hurry!
[Dr. Doktor continues staring ahead, not doing anything.]
PLAYER
Hey, what's wrong with you?! Can't you see that?!
DR. DOKTOR
Not to worry, Player. Where we're going,
[He removes his mask to reveal a visorless face.]
DR. DOKTOR
we don't need visors to see.
[The portal opens its mouth and the Airship goes inside. The portal disappears.]
