Assembly

Assembly is the fourth episode of Young Plumbers.

Plot
[All the recruits are doing a training simulation. Paper, Toon, and Sci are standing in a city that has been deserted and is know a place where an evil monster named The Stinger reigns. Only their waists up can be seen]

[Sci]: So what is the goal of this simulation?

[Toon]: I think they said we have to beat the giant glowing electrical monster thing.

[Paper]: Now that would make sense, wouldn't it, but they said there was a catch.

[Sci]: Hmm, maybe it is that the monster had a superior intellect.

[Toon]: And that he's handing us upside down over a vat of acid.

[As Toon says this, the screen flips upside down, revealing that the three are actually hanging to the ceiling by chains, and a vat of acid is below them. The rest of the recruits come bursting into the room.]

[Brian]: We'll save you guys!

[Paper]: Better watch out.

[The Stinger approaches Brian and roars at him. Brian scream at him and runs back to the gang. Aevan unleashes his shadow at The Stinger, but this only distracts him for a moment, so he retracts his shadow.]

[Aevan]: How do we beat this thing?

[Toon]: Stab its eyes out. We tired blinding it with fire and it went ballistic.

[Ben]: We can't get close to the eyes, but I can get close to its ears.

[He unleashes a sonic scream that knocks the beast on the ground. Rob runs up to it and slash his sword at the beast's eyes, destroying. He does so with the other eye. The beast throws Rob at the recruits and then starts running around in circles. The recruits run over to Sci, Toon, and Paper and free them from their chains. Paper runs to grab his arrow and fires an exploding arrow into the beast's mouth. It explodes, and the beast falls over and collapses. The virtual world they are in soon turns to white and the door opens. The recruits exit and find the Magisters waiting for them.]

[Lotin]: Excellent work you guys.

[Kruto]: Remember when I kept running to you guys saying there was a problem?

[Water]: How could we forget?

[Hornbok]: Well, this time we have really good news?

[Relgo]: You know how you said you all wanted to meet Ben Tennyson.

[Zon]: Yeah.

[Slick]: Well, you can, he is going to be here in a matter or hours for a post-dinner assembly.

[Ben]: Awesome.

[Lotin]: But that's not all. You guys will also be honored for saving the Academy last week.

[Rob]: That's not a good thing.

[Bink]: We want to remain a secret.

[Relgo]: Really? Okay then.

[They hear knock on the door to the waiting area for the Training Simulator. The doors opens and Ben Tennyson walks in.]

[Ben Tennyson]: Hey guys.

[Theme Song]

[Zon]: Oh my god, he is actually here!

[Ben Tennyson]: Of course I am.

[Slick]: A little early might I add... How you doing Ben?

[Ben Tennyson]: Slick, haven't seen you in a while. Okay, more like a few weeks, but I'm still great.

[Relgo]: Everything is up to specs here.

[Hornbok]: Except for some unwanted guests we've been having in the past week.

[Ben Tennyson]: Unwanted guests?

[Hornbok]: Vilgax, Animo, a spy.

[Ben Tennyson]: Another one of those?

[Hornbok]: Don't worry we know where this one came from.

[Paper]: We're still here.

[Kruto]: Well, you are dismissed. You can go to your barracks until lunch.

[The recruits exit and head to their barracks.]

[Sci]: So, do we do some more snooping around now or what.

[Zon]: No, I was thinking that we should actually do what we are supposed to.

[Water]: We aren't supposed to do anything. They said when we don't have class we are supposed to do what ever we want to.

[Rob]: They always tell us not to go to their secret room.

[Paper]: Actually I have something else that I have been needing to do.

[Paper leaves the barracks and speeds through the Academy all the way back to Lotin's office. He finds it locked. He looks inside and searches for the computer that he saw. He sees it on the desk. He looks to both sides. He hears someone coming around the corner and he hides in the bathroom near the office. Lotin unlocks his office and closes the door behind him. Paper comes out and walks towards the office and stops in the doorway. He opens the door.]

[Lotin]: Hello Paper. Is there something you need.

[Paper]: You can't hide it from me anymore. I know it is you.

[Lotin]: What are you talking about?

[He is sitting at his desk grading work. He is also typing something at the computer.]

[Paper]: I know you are the one who stole my computer.

[Lotin]: This?

[He turns around and grabs a second computer.]

[Lotin]: I thought it was yours because it had your name on it, but I didn't steel it. I just found it in front of my office about two weeks ago. It won't turn on. I think it may be broken.

[Paper]: It has a virus.

[Lotin]: I can fix it for you.

[Paper]: Really, you can?

[Lotin]: Sure. I am your Mechanical Ops teacher, aren't I?

[Paper]: You are.

[Lotin]: I'll have it fixed in a few weeks, okay?

[Paper]: Okay, see you.

[Paper exits and runs back to the barracks. When he returns, he finds the other recruits have left.]

[Paper]: Just great. Where could they have gone?

[The camera cuts to the recruits. They are heading down the stairs to the Magister's secret room.]

[Rob]: So since Paper is gone, who will be our leader.

[Sci]: I will, I guess... And I say we uh, find any computer file that may be suspicious.

[Bink]: So pretty much the whole hard drive?

[Sci]: Yeah, that'll do.

[Sci sits down at the chair by the computer. He presses a few buttons and opens the Command Prompt. He types in some letters and soon the computer starts making a whirring noise. The hard drive ejects from the computer.]

[Water]: How did you do that?

[Sci]: I really have no idea.

[Ben]: Well, let's get the hard drive and run.

[Zon takes the hard drive and turns into himself and XLR8. He speeds up the stairs and to the barracks. Right outside the door he collides with Paper.]

[Paper]: Zon, what are you.. What is that?

[Zon]: The hard drive of the Magister's computer.

[Toon, appearing behind him]: We know.

[The rest of the recruits appear behind him.]

[Brian]: It's time we start searching for answers.

[Paper]: You can't just steal the hard drive.

[Jack]: Sure we can.

[Sci]: Besides, you lost your computer.

[Paper]: Well guess what, somehow, Lotin found it!

[Bink]: And you're not suspicious about that.

[Paper]: Not really.

[Water]: Well, if you don't want to find any information out, then suit yourself.

[Sci]: Now let's see what we can do.

[He walks to one of the computers in the barracks. He unplugs that hard drive and plugs this one in.]

[Paper]: Since when can you just unplug a hard drive?

[Rob]: Since now!

[Sci turns on the computer and starts looking through the files. He opens the Project Elite folder and finds a bunch of encrypted files. He tries to open one and a box asking for a password comes up. He opens the Command Prompt and hacks the files. He opens them without the password. The first file is titled Ranova Base.]

[Sci]: The Ranova base is connected to the Elite.

[Jack]: I thought we already knew that.

[Aevan]: Well that means Lucifer is connected to the Elite.

[Sci]: Look at this.

[He clicks on the next file, titled Salimore base.]

[Ben]: What is a salimore.

[Paper]: It is an alien planet known for producing bounty hunters.

[Jack]: Great, they're going to hunt us down. Who they going to hire?

[Toon]: The Alien Busters? I don't know.

[Brian]: Very funny.

[Sci]: But look at this, it's a bunch of news articles about the accomplishments of the best bounty hunters from the planet. Apparently the best one is this big brute named Ra'ol Set, who apparently is the crown prince.

[Bink]: No way.

[Aevan]: What else is there?

[Sci]: The next file just says, Time Bomb.

[He opens it and finds it blank.]

[Paper]: It's the...

[The computers goes black and starts smoking.]

[Water]: Virus.

[Sci]: Oh well, we found some information.

[Paper]: Once we have my computer back will we find some more information out.

[Zon]: I love those.

[Paper]: Not funny either, Zon.

[Zon]: Is it all dead serious to you guys.

[Bink]: Wait, Paper, don't you think Lotin will notice your stolen files.

[Paper]: Maybe, but I doubt it.

[Sci]: Well the sooner we can get those files, the better.

[The camera cuts to the assembly hall on the first floor. There are about 100 sitting in chairs. The recruits walk in and find a special row of chairs just for them.]

[Aevan]: I thought they said we wouldn't be honored.

[The recruits stop in place and then after a moment they walk to their chairs.]
