[In Polus, Outside. Player, Mr Cheese and Captain run away from a zombified Toto.]
PLAYER
Keep running!
CAPTAIN
Oh, the humanity!
[They keep running. The three reach the anteroom door connecting to Office.]
PLAYER
Open the door already, Captain!
[Captain flips two switches of the door.]
CAPTAIN
Gah, I can't! This is the hardest task in all of Among Us!
PLAYER
Are you kidding me right now? That thing is still getting on us!
[Toto stand around near them.)
MR. CHEESE
(pointing) No, Toto! That's a bad Toto!
CAPTAIN
(frustrated) Egad, it's just so dang difficult!
PLAYER
Argh, you can't do anything right! Move aside!
[Player flips all switches quickly.]
PLAYER
(narrating) There are only three crewmates left: Captain, Mr. Cheese, and myself. And we still don't know who the impostors are.
[The door opens.]
[In Admin.]
CAPTAIN
Wow, Player! You must be some sort of master of unlocking!
PLAYER
Yeah, at least one of us knows how to actually play this game. We're almost puppy chow because of you!
CAPTAIN
Hey now, no need to point fingers here. But if we did want to point fingers, they should be pointed squarely at Mr. Cheese.
MR. CHEESE
(gasps) What did I do?
CAPTAIN
It was your mangy mutt that got us into this mess in the first place.
MR. CHEESE
Toto just likes to give love nibbles!
CAPTAIN
Maybe because your head's made of food you're used to it, Mr. Cheese. But I, for one, am not on the menu. Which reminds me, was anyone bit? You'd tell me if you were right there.
PLAYER
(in dismay) We all saw what happened to the others, Captain. No one wants to live through that again.
[The flashback starts. In a picture. Toto bites Engineer in the arm. Gnome, shocked, sees him from the doorway.]
ENGINEER
(screams) Get it off, get it off!
[In another picture. Gnome cries while holding Engineer in her arms. Engineer has a green tint on his suit and visor, snarling.]
GNOME
Engie? Babe, you okay?
ENGINEER
I need to eat brains, babe!
[In another picture. Engineer, with his impostor mouth wide open, grabs Gnome by the arm to eat her.]
GNOME
No!
[Flashback stops.]
CAPTAIN
(exhales) Blasted zombies.
PLAYER
Hold up, zombies? Come on, it must be a glitch in the game or something, right?
CAPTAIN
That, or, a cheat! Not that I'm accusing either of you two well-known cheaters or anything.
PLAYER
That's in the past, Captain. Right now, I just want to focus on what to do next. I'm thinking we just call a meeting and-
CAPTAIN
We can't do that, Player. That will bring everyone here! Including the munchie bunchies. Now, we still have a game to win. We should all spilt up, for safety.
PLAYER
No wait Captain, we need to stick together! You're always stronger in a group.
MR. CHEESE
Yeah, Captain. The game is called Among "Us", not Among "I", alright buddy?
PLAYER
Promise you'll stay by our sides.
CAPTAIN
I promise, Player. (points behind them) But wait, is that a zombie behind you?
[Player and Mr. Cheese gasp and turn around. They see nothing.]
PLAYER
Captain, I don't see any-
[Captain leaves.]
PLAYER
Ugh. Well, I guess we're going with the 'splitting up' plan. Good luck, Mr. Cheese.
MR. CHEESE
Yeah. (chuckles) You too, Player.
[Mr. Cheese unveils the sleeve of his suit to reveal a bite wound.]
[In O2. Player peeks in the entrance of the smaller room.]
PLAYER
Are there any spooky zombies in here? Legally, you have to tell me if I asked.
[Player sees a little leaf sticking out of the ground.]
STONER
Help! Help!
PLAYER
Oh my god, that actually worked?
STONER
Hey, get me outta here!
PLAYER
Wait, Stoner?
[Player pulls out the leaf. Stoner's head pops out.]
STONER
Oh, thanks compadre. I thought I was gonna be stuck in there forever.
PLAYER
Wow! I didn't think anyone else was still alive! What are you even doing in here?
STONER
Well, as you know, I'm not one for the corporate scam known as 'Western medicine'. So I come here every now and then to collect some fresh herbs.
[Stoner emerges, holding a mix of colored leaves.]
PLAYER
Wait a minute. Were you hoping to combine them together, to make some sort of elixir that can counteract the zonbie infection?
STONER
Uh, well...normally I just use them to make skincare products. You will not believe what these things can do for your complexion, bro. But like, yeah! I suppose we can make an antidote or whatever.
PLAYER
Come on, let's head down to the lab. We might be able to win this game after all!
STONER
Cool, cool. But is there like a Mickey D's on the way there? I have a major case of the munchies.
[Both of them leave the room. A zombie Mr. Egg impales Stoner with the tongue and eats him alive. Player runs away from him. Mr. Egg chases Player. In Electrical, a green-colored mini crewmate sits on Mother's body.]
PLAYER
Mother?
PLAYER
Oh, no. Franklin! Come on, little guy. We gotta get you outta here!
[Franklin turns around and snarls at Player.]
PLAYER
No. Not you, Franklin.
[Franklin jumps at Player.]
[Mother's body is reported.]
MR. CHEESE
W-what happened, uh, Player?
PLAYER
Guys, Mr. Egg killed Stoner right in front of me. I think he's responsible for all of this!
MR.EGG
He's a liar!
CAPTAIN
Hmm. Mr. Egg seems to think you're a liar, Player. What do you think, PoopyFarts?
POOPYFARTS96
(farts)
CAPTAIN
Oh god. Player's right, though. We're talking about life and death, people. After all, we're in a room full of zombies!
PLAYER
Wait, what?
[Mr. Cheese, Player, and Captain lean against the roundtable. Zombie Engineer, Franklin, Mr. Egg, and Veteran surround him.]
MR. CHEESE
R-r-run for it!
[They rush outside Admin. PoopyFarts96 is trapped inside.]
PLAYER
(saddened) PoopyFarts. You will be remembered.
CAPTAIN
Yes. He was a real legend. If you're lucky, they might even say the same about you, Player.
PLAYER
Huh?
[Mr. Cheese is completely zombified.]
CAPTAIN
Mr. Cheese. Have something to share with the class?
MR. CHEESE
M-m-mister... Ch-che-ese...
PLAYER
Captain, what's going on here? Answer me!
CAPTAIN
It seems your friend here got himself infected by my little virus.
PLAYER
Your virus?
CAPTAIN
Yes. A computer virus that woild infect every pet in Among Us, including little Toto.
PLAYER
But...but why?
CAPTAIN
Isn't it obvious? I wanted to win, of course! But more than that, I wanted you to lose.
PLAYER
But we're such good-
CAPTAIN
Friends? Don't make me laugh, Player. You never cared about me, even after everything I've done for you. You love hanging out with Veteran. You love going off on little side adventures with Mr. Cheese. But Captain? Well. There's no time for picnics. No time for birthday parties. No time to remember his name.
PLAYER
Captain, I-
CAPTAIN
Save it. Mr. Cheese, take out the trash.
[Mr. Cheese takes ahold of Captain.]
CAPTAIN
Wait! What are you doing, Mr. Cheese? You're supposed to listen to me. I created you! I command you to stop!
MR. CHEESE
Mr. Cheese!
[Mr. Cheese pushes Captain off. Both fall to the lava pit.]
CAPTAIN
No!
PLAYER
Captain!
PLAYER
I did it. I finally won my first game of Among Us! And all it took was Captain actively trying to make me lose for it to happen. You really can't do anything right. Thanks, bestie.
[Growling is heard in the distance. The zombies crowd behind Player. They pounce and attack him.]
PLAYER
I forgot about Mr. Egg!
