Warning Signs (Young Plumbers)

Warning Signs is the forty third episode of Young Plumbers and the forteenth episode of Season 3.

Plot
[Sci, Water, Rob, and Bink are running down the street. Two police cars are chasing them. Sci looks behind him and then boosts forward to catch up with the other three.]

[Sci]: Water, what did you do?

[Water]: It's not my fault I punched the guy... He barfed all over me...

[Rob]: You're going to get us all killed...

[Water]: Not if we get away...

[Water leads them down a back alley. He sees a fire escape and quickly scales the wall and then jumps off to pull down the ladder. He climbs up and then begins to run back up the fire escape. The other three recruits follow him. They get onto the room and then head through a door and down a staircase on the inside of the building. They make it to a hallway and then duck inside a janitorial closet. Sci takes out his Plumber's badge and looks at some stuff.]

[Bink]: Where are we now?

[Sci]: Looks like we're in Poznań, Poland...

[Rob]: Do you think they're going to follow us here?

[Water]: No, but we can't hide forever...

[Sci]: We'll go out a back exit and hopefully get out of the city alive...

[He opens the door. They quickly burst down the hallway and then into another staircase. They run down the stairs and then into another hallway and through a door to the outside of the building. They continue to run down the street and then eventually make it to a parking lot. They duck behind a car as the two police cars pass by the lot without noticing them. They slowly get up and then walk through the lot. Meanwhile, two figures are watching them from on top of a building. One has a communicator in his ear.]

[Figure #1]: Yes, right away...

[He puts the communicator down.]

[Figure #1]: Hit the leader. I'll take care of the other three.

[The second figure nods his head. He takes out a bow and then aims it down at Sci. He fires a small pellet that hits Sci and makes him fall to the ground.]

[Rob]: Sci, what happened?

[Sci falls unconscious. The other three turn and noticing the first figure jump down towards them. He takes out a sword and spins it, creating a large magic barrier around the recruits.]

[Figure #1]: You're coming with me...

[He snaps his fingers and gags appear on their mouths. He jumps at kicks Rob and then slashes his sword against Water and knocks him back into Bink. A ship comes down and lands in the parking lot. The magic barrier disappears as the first figure picks up Water, Rob, and Bink as the second figure jumps down from the top of the building. Lotin gets out of the ship.]

[Figure #1]: What about him?

[Lotin]: I can always find him again when I need him, but for now we don't have any room... Good job...

[Lotin leads the two figures onto the ship, which takes off a moment later. Sci is left unconscious on the ground as the two police cars come back on the scene. The screen fades to the entire team talking at the base in Fractal City.]

[Sci]: And that's exactly how it happened...

[Rob]: The figure who took us in was named Centurion, the shooter was named Snipe, but that's all I remember...

[Paper]: The name rings a bell, but... I don't know...

[Future Paper]: Is it really that important? The Sentinels are saved and we can now focus on getting the sword piece from the Null Void.

[Hornbok]: Which brings up another question, how to handle the situation... The Null Void isn't exactly the best of places... If one prisoner finds out that Plumbers are in the area looking for the Sword of Rigon, the whole mission falls apart...

[Ivada]: The plan is rather simple... Two ships, one of just the Magisters and the other of everyone else. Both ships will go to a small base within the Null Void and ask if they've found anything, and if not, then we simply begin the search. If they have, then lucky us...

[Relgo]: Is everything clear?

[Brian]: Yeah... It's going to be just like old times, with the whole team back together...

[Water]: I know I'm ready to get back in the action...

[Hornbok]: Good, then let's go sword hunting...

[Theme Song]

[The camera cuts to the recruit's ship entering the Null Void. Toon is piloting while most of the other recruits are in the back, talking.]

[Rob]: So, you've given us a general telling of what happened, but I want to know more... Tell us everything that's happened since August...

[Sci]: Well, after you guys got taken, I wandered around for a few more months until Lotin captured me in late January...

[Brian]: Meanwhile, we went on some missions, looking for the four of you... We came back in January after a quick break. Soon we got a new group of recruits to join us, and by the end of the month we had found Sci and we were back in the thick of things...

[Aevan]: Lots of crazy stuff happened... We discovered that there were 4 crystals in total so we spent much of our time trying to find them. One thing that happened was your clones attacked. Sci used Rigon's sword, which he had previously found to defeat them, but the sword almost controlled him, so he had Hornbok break it into pieces and keep only one...

[Jack]: We later decided that we needed to find the sword so that the Elite couldn't give it to Rigon and so, once we found the Hero's Sword, could permanently destroy Rigon's...

[Paper]: And then came the fateful day in mid February when the Elite got all 4 crystals and went to the Infinity Pool. They captured Hornbok and we took some time off. Once their invasion started, we developed a plan to get Hornbok back, as well as the sword piece that was captured separately. For a moment we thought Hornbok had been killed, but we eventually got Hornbok and the sword piece back...

[Ben]: We've also lost our fair share of bases... We traded Academies to destroy, and the Ringmaster got Bellwood. We couldn't stay in Fellson City for long because the Grid, so we came to Fractal City and got a base here...

[Zon]: We also discovered a lot about the prophecy, including the Sages, the guardian, the story of Virton, the original hero, and so much more...

[Toon, from the pilot's chair]: We also met my future self and Paper's, who came back in time to try and stop whatever caused their time to go so wrong...

[Nick]: And who could forget all the trouble with the Ringmaster, fighting his minions and then discovering he had freed Auris the dragon...

[Nar]: The way we're talking... It makes it sound like the end... But it's not...

[Sub]: I sure hope it's not...

[Cassie]: Don't worry, I know for a fact that it won't be...

[Will]: Not to ask it, but are we there yet?

[Toon]: Yes, we are...

[The camera shows to Plumber ships arriving at a small research base within the Null Void. The camera cuts again to the entire team walking down a hallway in the base. Captain Jopius, from Alpha and Omega walks up to them.]

[Jopius]: Good to have you back... We never could thank you enough for saving us from Alpha...

[Hornbok]: Yes, we're kind of in a rush... You wouldn't have found a piece of a sword, would you?

[Jopius]: A sword, no, but we did detect a large energy source just near here...

[Relgo]: In which direction...

[Jopius]: To the north, right near the entrance grounds... There are some other Plumber investigating the area... I suppose you could just drop in over there...

[Ivada]: Thanks for the help...

[The camera cuts to the team arriving at the entrance ground. Two Plumbers are standing with their backs to the team. One is writing something at a clipboard while the other looks around. They turn around and see Hornbok.]

[Plumber #1]: Hornbok, what brings you here?

[Hornbok]: Jopius says there is something in this area... Have you found anything...

[Plumber #2]: If by something, you mean a prison riot, then yes, but as for the energy source, no, sorry...

[Slick]: Prison riot?

[Plumber #1]: You may want to go look at it... Some prisoners who were just brought it started a scuffle. It's still going on, but they probably have it under control...

[Hornbok]: The Magisters will gladly investigate this... The rest of you stay here...

[The Magisters run off towards the prison riot. They find three Salimorian prisoners fighting another prisoner. Ivada, Slick, and Relgo each grab a Salimorian and restrain them. Kruto helps the other prisoner up and leads him away.]

[Hornbok]: Salimorians, I should have known...

[Salimorian #1]: You can't make us talk about it...

[Hornbok]: Talk about what?

[Salimorian #2]: The plot...

[Hornbok]: What plot...

[Salimorian #3]: There's a rumor going around... Someone's planning to kill Horus Set...

[Salimorian #1]: We were just trying to see if anyone's heard about it... He wouldn't talk, so...

[Hornbok]: So you attacked him?

[Salimorian #2]: Yeah...

[Ivada]: Hornbok, as much as I'd like to blow it off and says who cares about Salimore, we can't do that. If Horus Set dies, then Ra'ol Set becomes king...

[Hornbok]: THEN LET'S GO!

[Hornbok runs off. The other four Magisters follow. They run all the way past the recruits talking to the other Plumbers and get on there ship.]

[Slick, to the rest of the team]: We've got urgent business, but you continue the mission... We'll meet up back at the base...

[The door to the ship closes and the ship takes off.]

[Plumber #2]: What was that all about?

[Paper]: Who knows... Now what were you saying about the energy source?

[Plumber #1]: You just have to go all the way down this path and eventually you'll find it... But a warning... There are some bad criminals in this area...

[Sci]: Who could be so bad?

[There are loud crashes behind the team. They turn around and see Vilgax, Dr. Animo, Darkstar, Vulkanus, Crash, Aggregor, a few Highbreeds, many DNAliens, and Alpha standing behind them.]

[Vilgax]: Who could be so bad, you say?

[Commercial]

[The camera cuts to the castle on Salimore. The ship lands near it and the Magisters get out.]

[Kruto]: You do realize we can't just go storming into the castle...

[Hornbok]: I don't plan to. We have to find Ra'ol Set... I have a bad feeling about who wants this assassination.

[Slick]: You think Ra'ol Set may want it himself?

[Hornbok]: It would make sense, wouldn't it?

[Relgo]: Anyway, are we heading into the castle?

[Kruto]: Remember what I said just now?

[Ivada]: Yeah...

[Kruto]: I take it back. We need to find Ra'ol Set as quickly as we can...

[Relgo]: Then I suggest we find the throne room...

[They start running towards the castle. Slick charges through the main door of the castle and the rest of the Magisters follow through. The lobby is empty, so they continue past it and head up the stairs. They make it to the hallway in front of the throne room and look inside. Horus Set, Isis, Ra'ol Set, and Amon Set are in the room. The Magisters burst into the room and face the Salimorians.]

[Ra'ol Set]: I told you they were coming, they're the ones who've been planning this assassination I've been hearing about...

[Hornbok]: What, no, we want to stop the assassination...

[Horus Set]: Why would I trust you over my own son?

[Ivada]: Ra'ol Set hired an assassin to kill you so that he can become king...

[Horus Set]: Never. My son wouldn't so such a thing...

[Amon Set]: Should I do something, brother?

[Ra'ol Set]: Go ahead...

[Amon Set fires blasts out of his hands. The Magisters scatter. Slick charges up to Amon Set, but he quickly draws hit dual swords and smashes them both down onto Slick. Slick goes flying across the ground. Ivada blasts ice at Amon Set and makes him fall to the ground. Ra'ol Set slashes his zanbato at Ivada, who avoids and then jumps around and kicks Ra'ol Set. He avoids another slash and then turns and blasts an ice wave at Ra'ol Set, knocking him back.]

[Horus Set]: Don't let them beat you!

[Ra'ol Set]: Wasn't even thinking about it...

[As the fight continues, the camera cuts to the team running away from the villains in the Null Void.]

[Sci]: What is this? Villain's reunion?

[Toon]: It's all of the Elite's former lackies...

[Rob]: I don't recognize some of these guys... Who's the red fiery dude?

[Water]: Yeah, and is that Crash?

[Zon]: The fiery guy is Alpha, from another dimension...

[Brian]: Does it matter who they are? Now we not only have to get the sword, we have to fight all of them...

[Aevan]: We can worry about it when we get to that... For now, just move...

[They run as they avoid blasts from behind from Darkstar, Alpha, and others. Vulkanus jumps over the entire group and then turns around. Water jumps at him and punches him back as the others continue running past him. Water lands on the ground and continues to run.]

[Vulkanus]: They've gotten a lot stronger...

'''[Dr. Animo]''': We can still crush them like the bugs they are...

[Darkstar]: You aren't wise to under estimate them, Mr. Animo...

'''[Dr. Animo]''': That's Dr. Animo!

[Aggregor]: Some of us have actually gotten taste of true power here, so let us do all the work...

[Vilgax]: No one tells me what to do. I'm Vilgax, the conqueror of 10 worlds!

[Highbreed #1]: And if I'm not mistaken you go defeated by Ben Tennyson...

[Vilgax]: But I'm one person... Ben Tennyson defeated your entire invasion on planets that he WASN'T EVEN ON!

[Highbreed #1]: I'd take my anger out on you, but at least I'm smart enough to not sacrifice the mission...

[Darkstar]: We can't turn against each other... We have to stop the recruits and get that sword piece.

[Darkstar starts walking ahead. One by one, all the villains except Vilgax and the Highbreed start to follow him.]

[Highbreed #1]: Maybe we should wait until after the mission is done...

[Vilgax]: Truce...? For now...?

[Higbreed #1]: Truce...

[Vilgax]: But if you tell anyone that Vilgax made a deal with someone, I will end you...

[Vilgax starts to walk forward as the Highbreed stands behind with a scared face. He eventually starts to walk forward as the camera cuts to the recruits. They have made it to a thin strip of the island they are standing on.]

[Water]: You know, I think that if we got something out of being kidnapped, it was my confidence...

[Rob]: And the disappearance of your anger issues...

[Water punches Rob.]

[Water]: Nope, still got those...

[Ben]: Er, anyway, where could that sword be?

[Aevan]: And what I want to know is why the Magisters just ran off...

[Brian]: I know, they were acting worried...They never act worried...

[Future Paper]: They told us to focus on the mission, so let's focus on it...

[Future Toon]: Also, I think that might be the sword over there...

[They see 2 prisoners looking at a meteor that crashes into the ground. One is holding something.]

[Zon]: Yeah, let's go check it out...

[The run over to the two prisoners. The thing one of them is holding is a piece of the sword of Rigon.]

[Sci]: Where'd you find that?

[Prisoner #1]: It was just here, we saw it when we came over here because of the meteor...

[Paper]: Can we have it?

[Prisoner #2]: Why would we give it to you?

[Fear]: You criminals, us Plumbers, you give...

[Jack]: We need that for an experiment...

[Prisoner #1]: Oh, and experiment you say, what're you testing?

[Toon]: Does it matter?

[Prisoner #2]: Yeah, I reckon it does...

[Bink]: I'm not usually one to do stuff like this, but we will take it from you if you don't give it to us...

[Prisoner #1]: I'm still taking it...

[Water punches the other prisoner far back. Prisoner #1 jumps back and tosses the sword piece in the air. Sci catches it.]

[Sci]: Good, now let's get out of here...

[They turn around and see the villain's approaching them.]

[Future Paper]: All we have to do is get passed them and we're in the clear...

[Darkstar]: Good luck with that...

[He blasts dark energy at them. The team scatters and a fight begins. Paper and Future Paper take out their bows and start blasting arrows at Dr. Animo. A giant fire bat swoops down from the sky and brings a fire wave across the entire team. Toon, Sci, and Future Toon create a fire shield to counter the wave, but some fire still gets through and gets to the ground. Water jumps and punches at Vulkanus again but he this time grabs Water and throws him into Rob. At the same time, Aevan launches his shadow at Aggregor, who avoids and then sends laser blasts out of his staff. Cassie absorbs some of the blasts and fires them back at Aggregor, which knocks him back. DNAliens begin to jump into the battle but Future Toon creates a large firewave to block them all out. Vilgax charges at Brian, but he turns into a rhino and charges against Vilgax while Bink also pushes against him with a magical construct. Vilgax grabs and crushes the construct and then charges through Brian. He gets knocked back but then Ben jumps in and blasts sonic waves at Vilgax, knocking him back. Crash jumps in and throws three roundhouse kicks at Ben, knocking him back. Nar jumps in and begins to slash as Crash starts backing up.]

[Crash]: I always love fighting you guys... You're the only real challenge...

[Nar]: You're not... I've fought tougher...

[He slashes upward, but Crash then sweeps kicks Nar's arms and knocks his katanas out of his hands. He then spins back around and kicks Nar to the ground. Jack blasts electricity at Crash while Zon jumps in and begins to fire green energy at him. Crash gets knocked back by the blasts but then a Highbreed commander comes in and jumps and kicks Zon back. Will teleports behind the commander and then kicks the commander. He throws two more kicks before teleporting to avoid a blast from Darkstar. Sub blasts ice at Darkstar and the Highbreed at the same time. He then jumps and kicks Darkstar to the ground, making him fall unconscious. Nick shoots a spray of acid at Dr. Animo, who the turns around and punches him, only to get hit by a water wave from Sci. Sci turns to Vilgax, but finds him in the middle of a fight with Water and Rob. Rob blasts heat beams out of his eyes at Vilgax, while Vilgax does the same at Rob. Water jumps at Vilgax and knocks him onto the ground. Meanwhile, Toon blasts an enormous stream of fire at Vulkanus, which knocks him down to the ground. Future Paper fires an arrow at him which electrocutes him and then knocks him out. Paper then speeds into the final of the Highbreed who were at the fight.]

[Sub]: Is that everyone?

[Alpha]: You forgot about me!

[He blasts waves of red energy at the recruits. Bink, Water, and Rob counter with their energy blasts, and then Aevan launches his shadow and knocks Alpha back. The recruits then start to run back to the ship.]

[Paper]: Come on, the sooner we get out of here the sooner we can figure out where the Magisters went?

[The camera cuts to the team on the ship. Future Paper, Future Toon, Paper, Sci, and Toon are standing at a center part of the ship where there is a raised platform with a screen on it. Future Paper brings up a screen and then presses something on it to call Hornbok. He answers as the camera cuts to a split screen showing Future Paper on one side and Hornbok fighting Amon Set. He jumps to avoid a blast and then starts running]

[Hornbok]: Kind of in the middle of something! You got the sword piece?

[Future Paper]: Yeah, what about you?

[Hornbok]: We learned that there's a hit out on Horus Set so we're on Salimore trying to convince him that the rumors are true, but Amon Set and Ra'ol Set attacked us... I'll explain later, just get here as soon as possible...

[Future Paper]: Okay...

[The camera goes to full screen in the ship.]

[Future Paper]: We're going to Salimore... Again...

[Commercial]

[The camera cuts to Salimore. Only Hornbok is left fighting; the other Magisters are done on the ground. Hornbok stretches out of the way of a blast and then jumps and punches Amon Set, only to be punched by Ra'ol Set into the wall. Hornbok falls to the ground, but then tries to get up and falls over.]

[Ra'ol Set]: Weakling...

[Horus Set]: Son, I am still worried about the rumors... Some of my consultants have heard about these rumors...

[Hornbok]: So you have...

[Ra'ol Set]: I will look into them father, but...

[There is a crash. The door opens up and Snipe, the archer who captured the recruits who would become the Sentinels is standing in the doorway. He begins to walk forward as he aims an arrow at Ra'ol Set. He pans it back and forth between Ra'ol Set, Amon Set, Hornbok, Horus Set, and Isis.]

[Snipe]: Nobody move...

[The Salimorians put their hands in the air. Hornbok simply stares at Snipe.]

[Amon Set]: Who do you think your are?

[Snipe]: I said don't move...

[He fires an arrow at Amon Set. He blasts energy blasts at it, but the arrow doesn't stop and eventually hits his armor. He gets electrocuted and then drops to his knees. Snipe puts away his bow and takes out a shotgun with a scope. He points it towards Horus Set. Ra'ol Set is standing about three feet away from being in between the shooter and the target.]

[Snipe]: This is what's going to happen. I'm going to fire at Horus Set and kill him, no matter how many bullets it takes. If anyone moves, I will move the gun towards you. Once he's dead, you will not move or I will move the gun towards you. You will not chase me, or I will move the gun towards you. The only thing you will do is stand there and let me leave.

[Ra'ol Set]: Don't do this...

[The camera shows Ra'ol Set turn his head and look at his father. He turns away with a face of regret as a shot rings out. Horus Set collapses. Isis runs over to him as two more shots hit him. Snipe turns around and begins to run out of the room. Ra'ol Set fires an enormous blast of energy at him. It rips through Snipe's army and begins to burn his back. His arrow burns through and then Ra'ol Set stops the blast. He charges at Snipe as he continues to run. He eventually tackles him before he escapes and then begins punching Snipe rapidly. He punches him about 10 times before jumping off.]

[Ra'ol Set]: I'll give you three seconds...

[Snipe starts to wake up.]

[Ra'ol Set]: 1...

[Snipe gets to his feet.]

[Ra'ol Set]: 2...

[He realizes what his happening and starts to run.]

[Ra'ol Set]: 3...

[He continues to run, but Ra'ol Set fires another enormous that knocks Snipe to the ground. His skin starts to get ripped off as the camera shows Ra'ol Set's face. His mask is now fully open, revealing his full face for the first time. He has an evil smile on his face and is laughing maniacally. He eventually stops the blast. The camera cuts and shows nothing where Snipe was lying. His body has been burned to nothing. The mask closes and then Ra'ol Set turns and runs back into the castle. He drops down beside Horus Set as he lays dying on the ground. Amon Set gets out of his deactivated armor and runs over as the Magisters begin to wake up and realize what has happened.]

[Ra'ol Set]: Father...

[Hornbok]: Don't try to hide it Ra'ol... We know you hired him...

[Isis]: How dare you accuse my son of doing such a thing?

[Ivada]: Think about it. He is the oldest child, and you cannot become queen because you were not born into the family, therefore by killing Horus it would allow him to become the king.

[Amon Set]: But why would he even want to become king?

[Relgo]: It would give him full control of the army and any decisions in the future...

[Horus Set, dying]: Son... is this... tr-true?

[Ra'ol Set]: No father. I would never...

[Horus Set, dying]: Son... I do not care about who has done this thing to me... I... only... want peace...

[Ra'ol Set]: It wasn't me... It was the Plumbers over there...

[Slick]: Admit it and we'll leave...

[Isis]: Why would we let you leave...?

[Kruto]: I think maybe we should just go...

[The Magisters start to back away and then turn around and run. Isis takes a few steps to follow them.]

[Horus Set]: Isis... calm... My time... is... li-limited... please...

[He closes his eyes and then slowly opens then again.]

[Horus Set]: A... final... word for... my son... Never let the actions of other bring you down... Never force others down... I may be going, but I will always be here... I am anchored to this world like a boat is anchored to the shore, it can move, but only... so far... My... son, pl-please remember... You can't change how others see you, but you can change how you see yourself... In my lifetime I failed to realize this, but if you do, you will live long, and you will find yourself in many a good situations... Nothing will ever be able to anchor you... to limit you... but also to protect you... Life is a risk, my son... A risk that I didn't challenge enough...

[He is silent for a moment.]

[Horus Set]: Son, my burden of ruling this planet is passed down onto you... you must accept this burden and conquer it before it can crush you, and you will find the meaning of true happiness...

[Ra'ol Set]: What is true happiness?

[Horus Set]: True happiness... is...

[He stops and then slowly closes his eyes. He opens them after a few moments.]

[Horus Set]: Goodbye, my son...

[Ra'ol Set]: No, tell me what true happiness is...

[Horus Set]: I think you're a smart boy Ra'ol, let the wind carry you to your answer, and may the flame of your soul catch fire...

[He closes his eyes.]

[Ra'ol Set]: Father...

[He looks down for a moment. His mask opens up and a single tear begins to come down from his eyes. The camera cuts to the Magisters ship flying past another ship. The second ship turns around and begins to follow the other ship. The camera cuts to the entire team back at Fractal City.]

[Hornbok]: Horus Set is dead...

[Sci]: No way, how could he have been?

[Hornbok]: I believe the assassin was Snipe, the same shooter who captured you three back in August... He's dead now, too. Ra'ol Set murdered him... His face, was filled with unimaginable rage yet with complete satisfaction. He was the one who hired Snipe to kill his own father so that he could become king...

[Nick]: We've got to figure out a plan to stop them so how... Ra'ol Set has full control of Salimore and all of its forces...

[Ivada]: But the question is... why?

[Paper]: We may never know, but it doesn't matter...

[Aevan]: Paper's right, we have to continue our mission and prepare for the alignment... It gets closer every second...

[Future Paper]: And every second makes it closer to the end of the world...

[The camera cuts to Salimore. Ra'ol Set is sitting in a room. He is sitting on a chair with his head down at a desk. Tears are running from his eyes.]

[Ra'ol Set]: Softly... what have I done...

[He reaches over to a cracked picture of another Salimorian.]

[Ra'ol Set]: Amune, my love, where are you...?

[The door opens. Ra'ol Set turns around and finds the Salimorian in the picture in the doorway. She walks into the room as the door closes.]

[Ra'ol Set]: You've returned...

[Amune]: I found my way back... After your father banished me I knew that it would only be a matter of time before you gave up looking and finally snapped and had him killed...

[Ra'ol Set stands up from the chair and grabs Amune's hands.]

[Amune]: And now you're going to be king...

[Ra'ol Set]: Yes, I am going to be king, and then merely a few days after my coronation the galaxy will align and the seal on Rigon's prison will break. And then we will rule over the world with the rest of the Elite.

[Amune]: And then... our wedding...

[Ra'ol Set]: Sounds like a plan... Let us hope we succeed... And that within a few days of Rigon's arrival, the entire galaxy will be under control of the Elite...

[The End]
