Exclusive

Exclusive is the 37th episode of the series, Brandon 10: Ultimate Hero.

Plot
The episode begins in a dark room with a blue neon light lighting up the room slightly.

Faint Voice: Okay. We're on in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and-

Some instrumental music starts playing as the lights turn on revealing a brightly lit news studio with a blonde young woman wearing a shirt with an unbuttoned collar under a jacket sitting behind the desk.

Woman: Thanks for joining us today on Bellwood News. I'm Cindy Quinn and today we've got quite a bit of exciting news for you folks at home. Ann Stephens' 75th anniversary is coming up this weekend and she plans on spending it by exploring the world as she confirmed earlier today. In other news, Aqua Plus Technologies reopened their energy division after discovering a new element, Hydrodium, despite rumours of the company being an environmental hazard to the waters. And for our biggest story of the night, and possibly all time of the channel, is an exclusive interview with the Brandon 10. But unlike any other interview with any other famous face, this face is the one that saved many people and, despite certain negative claims towards his success, I will prove that he is the hero that he claims to be in an interview that shows his life, behind the scenes, from dawn to dusk. I'm Cindy Quinn and this is Bellwood News.

The instrumental theme kicks back in and Cindy smiles at the camera.

After the titles, the team is seen at the Juice Shack. Brandon is slurping down a milkshake while Coco looks at him with his arms crossed. Brandon then notices this and stops drinking his milkshake.

Brandon: ...What?

Coco: I can't believe you're doing this. A 24-hour interview? With the news?

Brandon: Eh, more or less.

Sarah: I think it's a great idea.

Coco: Well duh, you're the one who signed him up for it.

Sarah: I only did it because they contacted me and I thought it would bring Brandon good publicity.

Coco: Weren't you against him being famous in the first place?

Sarah: When life gives you lemons. (drinks milkshake)

Brandon: Speaking of which, this lemonade milkshake could really use more potato.

Coco: Potato?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Yeah. I'm thinking of blending it with my potato shake.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sarah and Coco look at Brandon in silence.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: They really should close this place down.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sarah: So where's Jenny?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: She's staying at the Mechanics Base today. Apparently they've got lessons about Earth Culture there.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: So when is this more or less 24-hour mess going to start?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Tommorrow, apparently.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: And you're not worried?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Nah. It'll be fine. I was on a game show once. It's the same thing.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: No it's not the same thing and that was cancelled after the first episode.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Still counts though. (drinks milkshake) Besides, I know the reporter.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: Really?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sarah: Cindy Quinn. She's been reporting postive feedback on Brandon's activities recently unlike-

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Don't say it. You'll ruin the lemon-potato moment and jinx the interview someway.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sarah: How?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: I dunno. Something will happen.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sarah: ...Jeff Thompson.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Dang it, Sarah.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: Well anyone besides that wind bag makes a good reporter.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: She's different. She even offered me a tour of the studio and to introduce me to the main reporter dude, Fox Barrage.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: I thought you didn't watch the news.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: I don't. I just know he's famous. And meeting famous people is cool.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Coco: Whatever you say, dude.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: It'll be fine. (slurps milkshake)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene cuts to the Duo News studio.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: This is not fine! You expect me to go out there with a story about sewers when Bellwood News gets an interview with Brandon 10? I don't think so, Will.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Will: Look, Jeff, we don't have much of a choice here. It's either you're on or we get someone else. End of story.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: End of story? End of story?! I'll tell you right now, Will Ripley, that this is far from the end of the story.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Will Ripley: Here we go.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: I've been working my butt off at this dump for the past 14 years. 14 years! I'm the main highlight of this channel, Ripley. Nobody comes here to see anything else. It's me. You have a show without me and your ratings will drop!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Will Ripley: Forget about it. We can't have show about Brandon 10 tonight if they're doing an interview. It's a conflict on opinion and the last thing we need is for Duo News to be at war with another station, especially one that just started getting popular. Now don't get the news involved, you hear me? I could fire you in an instant, don't you forget that.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Yes, sir.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Ripley then leaves the set. Jeff then grunts and kicks a trash can over. Bob walks out from behind a camera and looks at Jeff. Jeff looks up at Bob then adjusts his tie.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Well? What are you looking at? Get back to work!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Bob: Yes, sir.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Bob continues working on the camera.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson, to himself: So. Duo News doesn't want to be involved, huh? Alright. I can work with that.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene cuts to a road at night where a black mid-size car driving driving along it. It drives up to a rocky slope and stops. Jeff Thompson then gets out of the car and approaches the side of the mountain. He looks around as thunder is heard and lightning is seen in the clouds in the distance.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Come on. I know you're here otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">There is no response. It then starts pouring as thunder is heard again. Jeff looks up as the rain soaks him. He then looks around again.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Alright. Alright. I need you! The studio took away my only weapon against Brandon 10. My freedom of speech! I'm going to need something more physical. I need to ruin his interview in order to show off how much of a menance he really is.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">A metallic footstep is heard behind Jeff. He turns around slowly and sees a dark figure with a red visor looking at him. Lightning then strikes along with the thunder, giving enough lighting to see that the figure is The Extreme Biker King.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: You've disapointed me, Mr. Thompson.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: I told you the network, they-

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: Enough. I've heard enough of your boring organization. In fact, I've heard enough from organization as a whole. One doesn't control chaos, they utilize it. I contacted you reccently because I felt that you would be a great help to the Extreme Bikers.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: And I have been. I've given you everything I know about him. Even the reports on those other things you wanted.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: Not enough. And to think, you're supporting us.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Look, I might not be that money bag that you keep talking about but I can be helpful.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: I'm sure you can be. I have something for you.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: What is it?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: If you let me finish, you might just find out.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Sorry.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The Extreme Biker King presses a button on his guantlet which activates a mechanism that slides the rocky wall to the side. A device is then rolled out by two Extreme Bikers.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: It's a suit.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: I've already got 10 of those.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: Not that type of suit, you moron! It's an armored suit that I, myself, have been working on. Since, I can't mobilize my Bikers yet, you'll just have to make do.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thomspon: Wow. I- uh- I accept. Thank you!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: One more thing, Mr. Thompson. You can have the suit. On one condition.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Name it.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Extreme Biker King: Destroy Brandon 10. (clutches fist)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The lightning strikes again along with the thunder. Jeff Thompson looks a little shocked then determined.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: You have my word. (smirks)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene then cuts to a black digital alarm clock reading "10:29 AM" in green lettering. The alarm clock then shifts over to "10:30 AM" in which a standard ringing is heard. A hand then comes down next to the alarm clock on its right side, then on its left side until the hand finally hits the alarm clock, stopping the ringing noise. Brandon then leans up from the bed with a case of bed head. He then yawns and stretches. Brandon scratches his head then opens his eyes and looks up, slightly confused.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon, seeing something: Uh... Hi.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene shows a camera man filming Brandon while Cindy Quinn is sitting in one of his chairs.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Rinse and shine, Mr. Tennyson. You've got quite a day ahead of you.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Wait... How long have you been watching me?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Well we stayed the night and got up at 4. Then we started filming at 5.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Five in the morning? I was sleeping.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Well we can't have any early morning adventures happening out of our sight. Of course, the actually live stream started a couple of minutes ago.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Did you say live? Like as in I'm on national TV in my pajamas?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: 'Fraid so. Oh and this is Mike, by the way. He's my cameraman.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike waves while holding the camera with his other hand. Brandon waves back, uncomfortably.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: So how does a standard Brandon 10 morning start like? (holds out microphone towards Brandon)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon is now seen with a camera layout around him with the words "LIVE" at the bottom right corner.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: I get out bed, wash up and eat breakfast. A basic morning, I guess.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The camera then turns to show Cindy Quinn who brings the mic back to her face.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: You heard it here, folks. "A basic morning." While this person might be super powered, underneath he's just as normal as the rest of us. At least, starting in the morning.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike: Uh Cindy-

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: What is Mike?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike finger cuts into the shot and is seen pointing. Cindy turns around and the camera shows that Brandon is no longer in his bed.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: He's over there, move the camera.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The camera moves and shows Brandon entering a room, looking sleepy.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn, out of the shot: Where are you going?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: I got out of bed now I'm washing up. (looks at the camera) Do you have to film everything?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn, out of the shot: From dawn to dusk, Mr. Tennyson.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Yeah well I'm going to need some privacy. From the cameras, I mean. But from you too. Also. Uh- Sorry I'm like this in the mornings. You're cutting this out, right?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn, out of the shot: Nope.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Uh...

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon then goes into the bathroom and closes the door. The camera then turns back to face Cindy.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Oh this is so exciting.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene, is now out of camera view, and shows Mike leaning against Brandon's desk while Cindy sits on his bed.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike, checking the camera: Why are you so interested in him anyways? He's just a teenager.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Keep rolling.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike: But he's in the bathroom.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: They'll go to commerical.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike: (Sighs) This is waste of film.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: It's worth it though.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike: You didn't answer the question by the way.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Well, he saved me once. Well more than once. Before his identity was revealed to everyone and before I was even a reporter, I was convinced to be journalist when I saw things that the government wouldn't explain to the people. Alien creatures. I know it might have sounded a little far fetched back then but if you look around now, it's believable. Anyways, I was just 16 then when I was going through the woods when I was attacked by this big, crazy looking furry thing with four red eyes. I was scared for my life until he showed up. Sure, it could have been some other alien back then but I just knew. He looked like a man made of rock, red rock. Half of him was burning while the other half was frozen like ice. And he fought that alien and won. He saved me back then. Since then, I became a reporter and have been following alien sightings for a while. Guess what I've been looking for is old news now.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mike: Wow. Is that really why you wanted this interview?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Believe it or not, I didn't have time to ask him questions when he saved me and my pilot a while ago.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon, unseen: It's a cool story, though.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy looks up and Mike turns his head and they see Brandon leaning against the door, crossing his arms. He's now dressed in his regular clothes and his hair is the way it normally is.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Well that was quick.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: I usually take longer but I wanted to make this interview worth the while. So breakfast?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: Don't tell me you can cook too.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: My mom cooked pancakes. At least, that's what I smell from here.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene cuts over to a parking lot. Jeff Thompson gets out of his car and looks around. He then goes to the trunk of the car and opens it. He looks inside and pulls out the device, struggling to carry it. He then drops it on the ground.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Opps... This thing isn't broken, is it?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff then taps it with his foot twice, activating the device on the second tap. He backs up as the device grows and starts to take a humanoid shape.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson, cowering: Please don't hurt me!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">There is no response. Jeff Thompson takes a peek and looks up as the suit just stands there. He gets up and looks around. He then touches the suit. It ripples a little like a liquid. He then puts his arm inside the suit.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: Huh.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The suit then starts moving up his arm.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thomspon: AH!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Darkness. An interface then appears in the darkness as the parking lot is seen again through the suit's point of view.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson, unseen: This is nuts.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff raises the suit's arm, turns it around and wiggles the fingers. He then clutches his fist. The suit is now seen from the outside. It's a grey suit with purple and black lines over it. It's metallic and has a single red circle on its face, representing an eye. Jeff then moves the suit's arms around until he accidentally slams his fist into his car, wrecking it. He then moves his hand back and looks at it then clutches it.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Jeff Thompson: With technology like this, I'll be unstoppable.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The scene then cuts to the Mach 10 driving through the city. Inside, Brandon is seen driving with Cindy Quinn in the front seat and Mike in the back, still filming.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Cindy Quinn: So Brandon, where are we going now?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Brandon: Oh I was going to the Juice Shack. It's my favorite hang out place. Wait you guys don't have product placement rules, right?

Cindy Quinn: You're fine.
