Chapter 3 - Interlude
(The episode begins at a college campus. A now college age Ezekiel/Master Mind is walking across the campus grounds with a professor. The professor is looking over a group of papers in his hands.)
Professor: I must say, your hypothesis is quite intriguing.
Zeke: Thank you, professor.
Professor: Now, your hypothesis is also incredibly farfetched. I mean, you're talking about unfolding the multiverse.
Zeke: I know it sounds crazy, believe me, but I think it's a topic worth exploring. I mean, think about it, there's only a finite amount of materials on this planet. If we can find a way through the multiverse, then that means potentially infinite resources, cures for every disease, an answer to every problem
Professor: Yes, but the path to get there... (He pauses.) You have a brilliant mind, Ezekiel. With my powers in the department, I will grant you the materials needed to challenge this theory of yours.
Zeke: R-Really?
Professor: Curiosity often seems lost on the new generations, but I suppose it is hard to top mankind landing on the moon. The multiverse and its existence is a large question to answer, and I know you intend to answer it.
Zeke: Thank you, professor. I won't let you down.
Professor: I know you won't, Ezekiel. (They stop at a building.) And I wanted to offer you some help in your pursuit of this question. (A young woman exits from the building. We see that it is Charlotte, also college-aged.)
Charlotte: Professor Wellard!
Professor: Hello, Charlotte! (He turns to Zeke.) Ezekiel, may I introduce you to Charlotte Walters. She will be helping you in your lab study. She is a top student of mine.
Zeke: (Flustered.) I...uh...um...
Professor: Is there something wrong, Ezekiel?
Zeke: No! I...uh... thank you, professor.
Professor: Very well. I shall let the two of you become acquainted then. (He leaves. Charlotte looks over at Zeke and smiles.)
Charlotte: Ezekiel, nice to see you again.
Zeke: H-Hey, Charlotte. You look... nice. (He smiles.)
Charlotte: Thanks. Still playing video games?
Zeke: Yeah, yeah... when I have time.
Charlotte: The arcade near here just got a new pinball machine, so that's where I've been spending all my time. At this rate, the pinball machine will cost me more than going here.
Zeke: (Laughs.) Must be some pinball machine.
Charlotte: Sure is. You know what? I should show you around the arcade. We could play a few games and then you can tell me about this project of yours.
Zeke: That sounds great! (They both laugh.) Yes, thank you. I would... um... love that.
Charlotte: Cool. Just follow me then. (They head off. The screen goes white as we go back to the present.)
(We cut to the middle of space as we see the Nefarious Space Station. We cut inside to see Dr. Nefarious at his computer console. Lawrence is seen in the background.)
Nefarious: Those squishies made a fool of me, Lawrence. A fool! (He slams his fist on the console.)
Lawrence: I'm sorry they made you see the truth, sir.
Nefarious: I'm not holding back anymore, Lawrence. My sights aren't on Mars anymore. I'm going back to plan A. (He types away on the console. An image of Earth appears.) Earth will soon be mine!
Lawrence: Feeling ambitious, are we?
Nefarious: Without that Lombax and his tin companion around, nothing will stand in my way! Especially with my new secret weapon. (He wrings his hands evilly.) Mwahahahaha!
Lawrence: Secret weapon?
Nefarious: Yes, Lawrence. During my travels in space, I happened upon something that will tip the scales in my favor. A monster so powerful, that nothing will stand in its way as I use it to destroy the Earth! (He types on the console again as video footage of an area inside the Space Station is shown. We see Ridley, head still cut off, laying on a large medical table. Robotic arms are seen above the body, as well as a table of mechanical body parts to the side.) This will be very, veeeeery interesting.
