Vincence Kingdom: Peargame (Part 5)

[SCREEN TITLE: FIRST WORLD ORDER]

[After seeing a Quinjet flown to the capital, the scene cuts to a nightclub in the city of First World Order, as the entertainment still intact, loads of dead bodies of yakuza members are seen as a hooded figure throws a shuriken at another yakuza member firing at him. They are shouting something in FirstWorldOrderese, as two more men come out of nowhere and draw out their UZIs.]

THUG #1: あいつだ! アキヒコさんを!(Romanized: Aitsu da! Akihiko-san wo!) (Translated: It's him! He's after Akihiko!)

[Both thugs fire their SMGs as both got slain by a shuriken. A yakuza member wielding a katana charges at him in the stairs, but is immediately overthrown and slain by Terra Nova. Terra Nova then fights another sword-wielding thug, which is thrown outside the glass, killing him. The camera passes through two more buildings as the fighting ensues with different screams, shouts, more havoc inside, and gunfire. A man in a dark raincoat jumps through the glass window, with Terra Nova doing the same, as both of them lands in a dark alleyway. The man in the raincoat turns to Terra Nova, who just landed after him. It was Akihiko, the leader of a yakuza gang, whose head being hunted by Terra Nova himself.]

Akihiko: てめえ なぜこんなことをする? 俺たちてめえになにもしてねぇだろ!(Romanized: Temē naze konna koto wo suru? Oretachi temē ni nani mo shītenē daro!) (English: Why are you doing this? We never did anything to you!)

Terra Nova: [As he draws out his katana and reversibly wields it.]地球の半分 サノスにやられた... お前はなぜ無事なの…(Romanized: Chikyū no hanbun sanosu ni yarareta... Omae wa naze buji nano...) (English: You survived... Half of the planet didn't. They got Baloo... you get me.)

[Both sides engaged in combat as Terra Nova pierces his stomach, but doing only minor damage to him.]

Terra Nova: [Also in Japanese] お前はもう十分殺しただろ(Romanized:Omae mo jūbun korshīta daro) You're done hurting people.

Akihiko: [Japanese]俺らがだと? 気でも狂ったか! (Orera ga dato? Ki demo kurutta ka!) [he gestures to all the scattered bodies of his henchmen and chuckles] (English: WE hurt people? You're crazy!)

[Akihiko charges, which Terra Nova immediately blocks. Both clang swords for two seconds, seeming that the yakuza leader has the upper hand, but Terra Nova punches him in the face, and sword-points him to his throat, in which Akihiko is temporarily petrified.]

[He lowers down his sword as if he is about to surrender, but charges again at Terra Nova. Both swords clashed as Terra Nova slices his stomach, losing stamina, but gaining more strength from his rage.]

Akihiko: [in a Gatotsu-like sword stance] 死ね! (Romanized: Shine!) (English: DIE!)

[They both draw their katanas and the sword-fight continues. Terra Nova is clearly a better fighter, but Akihiko is also quite experienced. They clang swords, and for a second, it looks like Akihiko has the upper hand swinging at Terra Nova's neck. Terra Nova, however, ducks and slides under the katana, and slices Akihiko in the stomach as he slides past. Akihiko, now fatally injured, drops his katana.]

Akihiko: 待て! 助けてくれ! お前に何でもやる! 何が欲しい? (Romanized: Mate! Tasukete kure! Omae ni nan demo yaru! Nani ga hosī? (English: Wait! Help me! I'll give you anything! What do you want?)

Terra Nova: [Raising his katana, in English] What I want... You can't give me.

[He thrusts the blade downwards into Akihiko's stomach. The body of the Japanese falls to the ground. Terra Nova grabs the sword, and wipes it on his gauntlet, ridding it of the blood of Akihiko. He notices someone behind him, and grabs his mask, and slides it off his head, revealing himself as Terra Nova, who has gone on a rampage since the Pearification. He turns around and looks at T-34s, who is standing behind him, holding an umbrella, and in casual clothes.]

Terra Nova: You shouldn't be here.

T-34s: Neither should you.

Terra Nova: I've got a job to do.

T-34s: Is that what you're calling this? Killing all these people isn't gonna bring your family back.

[Terra Nova starts to look emotional, on the verge of crying.]

T-34s: We found something. A chance, maybe...

Terra Nova: [Now openly crying] Don't...

T-34s: Don't what?

Terra Nova: ...don't give me hope.

T-34s: I'm sorry I couldn't give it to you sooner.

[We cut to the Star Avenging League's Compound, where we see Barrow Cove in a hoodie, drinking a beer and walking through the compound's Testing Chamber. Plus Nova is also there, walking in from behind Barrow Cove.]

Plus Nova: [To Barrow Cove] Drifting left. On the side there. [To CALLMEDADDYSTRATTON, who's working on something underneath a glass platform] Stratton, How's it going?

CALLMEDADDYSTRATTON: It's CALLMEDADDYSTRATTON. Take it easy. You're only a genius on Earth, pal.

[Cut to a side room, where we see MU, Kirby, Haruhi and Bio Spark talking. MU is in a white and red suit, similar to the Hobbes-Man suit.]

Bio Spark: Time travel suit? Not bad.

Mathuvan Union: [Response to Kirby touching the suit and something red in a glass tube] Hey, hey, hey! Easy, easy!

Kirby: I'm being very careful.

Mathuvan Union: No, you're being very The Kirby-y.

Kirby: I'm being careful.

Mathuvan Union: [Holding up the red glass bottle] These are Calvin Particles, alright? And ever since Calvin got snapped out of existence, this is it. This is what we have. We're not making any more.

Bio Spark: MU, calm down.

Mathuvan Union: Sorry. We've got enough for one round trip each. That's it. No do-overs. Plus two test runs. [He accidentally presses a button, and shrinks, and then grows back to his normal size.] One test run.

[Cut to the testing chamber, where we see Haruhi, T-34s, Plus Nova, MU, Kirby, Bio Spark and Osernan standing at a control panel, presumably controlling the glass platform.]

Mathuvan Union: All right. I'm not ready for this.

Terra Nova: I'm game. I'll do it.

[Terra Nova walks in wearing the suit MU was moments before, the Quantum Suit.]

Kirby: Terra Nova, now you're gonna feel a little discombobulated from the chronoshift. Don't worry about it.

[Terra Nova taking position on the platform]

Bio Spark: Wai-Wait a second, let me ask you something. If we can do this, you know, go back in time, why don't we just find baby Baloo, you know, and... [he makes a hand gesture suggesting that they strangle baby Baloo with a rope.]

Kirby: [Disgusted] First of all, that's horrible...

Bio Spark: [In a tone that says it's what we're all thinking.] It's Baloo.

Kirby: ...And secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future.

Mathuvan Union: Look, we go back, we get the Fruits before Baloo gets them... Baloo doesn't have the stones. Problem solved.

Terra Nova: Bingo.

Osernan: That's not how it works.

Terra Nova: Well, that's what I heard.

Kirby: What? By who? Who told you that?

Bio Spark: [counting with his fingers] Star Trek, Terminator, TimeCop, Time After Time -

Mathuvan Union: Quantum Leap -

Bio Spark: A Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time -

Mathuvan Union: Hot Tub Time Machine -

Bio Spark: Hot Tub Time Machine. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Basically, any movie that deals with time travel.

Mathuvan Union: Die Hard? No, it's not one...

Bio Spark: This is known.

Kirby: I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it: If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past. Which can't now be changed by your new future…
