Chapter 8

Trans. Int. Cargo ship; Night]

(Somewhere in the cargo ship, Cody opened his eyes and saw gooey krang mass all over his body and was restrained by them. He gasps and tries to get himself out of the vines. The two aliens emerged from the darkness as EEBEE approached Cody.]

EEBEE: Look at it. Disgusting.

Cody: Try looking in a mirror.

EEBEE: [offended] Ugh, it's talking at me. I'm going to rip out its tongue.

EFFY: [mellow] Forgive my sister. She's got a bit of a temper.

(EEBEE climbs down as she and her little brother bow to him. Cody's restraints lower to the floor as EFFY approached him.)

EFFY: And being in prison for a thousand years hasn't done her any favors. You're a human. But you are also a child. What can you do?

Cody: [angrily] Let me go, and I'll show you.

[He tries to bite back but EFFY avoids him.]

EFFY: [interested] Hmm. You're more powerful than the people of this planet, yet you defend them. Why?

Cody: [through clenched teeth] It's our duty.

EFFY: [chuckles] A word used by the weak. Many planets before yours have spoken of duty. They too have been consumed by us. And now, our glorious crusade continues, to restore the natural order of things. The strong will devour the weak.

Cody: (smirking) Last I checked, we weren't the ones locked in a prison dimension for a thousand years. That's called trash talk.

[EFFY flinched, being very offended by Raphael's comment. He turned his head back to him.]

EFFY: A rare mis-step. Once I receive the Key from your comrades, I will bring forth the mighty Technodrome and you will witness the true power of EFFY. Now, where have they taken my Key?

EEBEE: [walks between her brother and Cody] It won't tell you anything. Let me kill it.

Cody: [growling] Lady brain face here is right. I ain't telling you jack-squat.

EFFY: [laughing evilly] Very well then. You don't have to tell me. I'll look myself.

(EFFY places his tentacles onto Cody's head. Cody screamed in pain as Images of Florida then flash in his mind along with the key. EFFY removes his tentacles.)

EFFY: There it is. They always do it the hard way.
