Act 1, Chapter 4
Curiosity
Zig, Beht and Gorrik are sent to Wyterra to find out Kotetsu's secrets. As if it wasn’t bound to happen from the start, their mission goes completely noticed.
1, HAVEN VILLAGE - DAY
Zig, Beht and Gorrik stand at the entrance gate. A gatekeeper stands between them and the village.
GATEKEEPER: Alright, fine! I'll let you lot through. But don’t even try doing anything smart, now. God knows what these fists can do!
Zig walks on ahead.
ZIG: Yeah, whatever ya say! We’re outta here.
Zig, Beht and Gorrik walk down the road.
ZIG: Like hell I’m believin’ a word he says. What’s he think he’s gonna do to us, anyway? All he does is just stand there all damn day. He don’t scare me.
BEHT/GORRIK: Me neither.
ZIG: (To Gorrik) Not sure ‘bout you though. He was lookin’ right atcha! Ya sure you ain’t scared?
BEHT: Actually, yeah… On second thought, I wouldn’t wanna pick a fight with a guy like him.
They’ve arrived at the heart of Haven Village.
GORRIK: We’re getting weird looks… We’re gonna get found out for sure!
BEHT: Welp, I guess we’ve lost our jobs for real, this time… *Sigh*
ZIG: Sheesh, as if we ain’t gone through this before! Ya want more than just three whole meals tomorrow, then we better do this at least half-right. Just play it ‘normal’ and we’re done!
GORRIK: You’re the boss!
A view of a building corner. Zig, Beht and Gorrik stick their heads out the corner.
SUBTITLE: Eventually…
GORRIK: Found what we’re looking for!
ZIG: (Whispering) GODDAMMIT, weren’t ya the one worried we’d get caught?!
A view of Kotetsu’s workshop. Kotetsu can be seen working there.
ZIG: There he is… The old bastard. And where’s that die-hard fanboy of his? Ah, forget it, let’s go. (To Beht and Gorrik) Remember the plan.
BEHT: Yessir.
GORRIK: You got it!
At Kotetsu’s workshop. Beht stands by Kotetsu, who’s tinkering with a small device.
BEHT: Hey there, what’s your name… Kotetsu, was it?
KOTETSU: Do I know you?
Now, by a building corner, Gorrik stands around. Beht and Kotetsu can be seen behind him.
GORRIK: *Sigh* I’ve got guard duty again…
BEHT: (From behind Gorrik) That’s a funny little gizmo you got there.
KOTETSU: Oh, this? Well, it’s nothing really.
Over to behind some furnaces, Zig hides there and holds a notebook and a pen. Beht and Kotetsu talk behind him.
BEHT: Say, what’s it do?
KOTETSU: Well, basically all this is good for is… (Dialogue is covered by Zig’s)
ZIG: (Whispering) C'mon, that ain't what we're lookin' for!
BEHT: Hmhm. That’s pretty interesting. Where'd you get your inspiration?
KOTETSU: Oh! Ehrm, I can't say I… (Dialogue is covered by Zig’s)
ZIG: (Whispering) You gotta be kiddin' me...! Get to the damn point!
BEHT: How'd you use it?
ZIG: WHAT?! You absolute moron! That does it - I’m gettin’ out there and I swear, I’ll--
A hand pokes Zig’s shoulder.
ZIG: ?!
GUMARK: Well, what do we have here?
ZIG: What the--
GUMARK: A little sissy boy keeping an eye out for his crony?
Over to Gorrik, from Zig’s point of view. He’s chatting up the waitress at The Stuffed Belly.
GORRIK: Oh these? Yeah, I can lift a ton with–
ZIG: Gorrik?! The hell are ya’ doing?!
GORRIK: Ah! Sorry! Sorry, sorry! I, uh, Got distracted! Carried away! Preoccupied!
WAITRESS: …
GORRIK: Ah! And I’m sorry about all that, too! Don’t worry Ma’am! We aren’t here to extort you! What we’re really after is whatever that mechanic there’s got!
Over to Beht and Kotetsu.
KOTETSU: Um, what is…
BEHT: Heh heh… Yup. We’re screwed. *Sigh* Let’s just get outta here and grab drinks or something.
Over to Gumark and Zig. Gorrik runs over to them.
GORRIK: Zig, I am so, so sorry! I did it again!
ZIG: Yeah, whatever. It’s all on you if the boss asks ya ‘bout anythin’.
GUMARK: So, I see what’s going on here. You guys are at it again, trying to get into Mr Kotetsu's head. He's not going to tell you anything, not even for a million bucks!
KOTETSU: Gumark…
ZIG: Huh? That ain’t what we doin’, stupid. Y’see--
BEHT: Yeah Kid, it’s true. To be fair, it's not like it wasn't obvious from the start.
ZIG: Quiet yer ass! We’re still gettin’ what we want, whether ya like it or not!
GORRIK: Now, we’ve done it…! The boss is gonna kill us! We’re finished!
ZIG: Yeah, if we give up now, we will be. (To Gumark) Alright Kiddo, get ready for a pummelin' you ain't never gonna forget!
GUMARK: We’ll see about that!
ZIG: Beht! Gorrik! Get his ass!
BEHT: Here we go, again, heh heh…!
GORRIK: Understood! Roger that!
CUT TO:
Radese sips some herbal tea while walking along the village. He notices some commotion. He spits out his tea when he sees a large crowd and a brawl breaking out between Gummark and Zig, Beht and Gorrik. Kotetsu hides somewhere.
2, DARK ROOM - NIGHT
Under dim lighting, Kotetsu and Gumark are strapped to chairs. Zig, Beht and Gorrik stand in front of them.
ZIG: Alrighty Kotetsu! It's time to give us some info on that lil device ya been workin' on.
BEHT: (To Kotetsu) And you better make this quick, old man. The boss won’t be happy if we’re late.
KOTETSU: …
GUMARK: Like we care about what your boss’ gonna do to you!
GORRIK: You also gotta think about all the other people we had to beat up because of you guys!
GUMARK: You people are despicable!
GORRIK: Oh yeah! Mr Kotetsu?
KOTETSU: What?
GORRIK: I got told to kick your little friend in the shins if you don’t answer!
GUMARK: Wait-- What?!
3, DYRUS’ CAMP - DAY
At Dyrus’ office, Dyrus reads Zig’s notebook. Zig, Beht and Gorrik wait for a response.
SUBTITLE: Back on Menahat
ZIG: Hey… Uh, Boss? You ain't lookin' so good.
DYRUS: …
ZIG: Boss?
Dyrus violently throws the notebook at the trio.
DYRUS: You took notes for the wrong gadget, you idiots!!!
