story
the story starts off with katherine floating in space, lost and confused as to how she got here, she looks around to see a fleet of gigantic spaceships approaching, as they open fire on her she lunges herself towards them and leaps from spacecraft to spacecraft as they shoot each other and blow up in a flurry of flames and debris as she leaps towards the giant mothership
on the deck of the ship cannons and laser turrets activate and aim at her, firing a dizzying arry of hellfire down on her as she runs and leaps towards the cockpit, crashes through the window, and as the guards try to grab her, dodge their attacks and fight her way through them, fight her way through the corridors and run into the power core room, as the enemies open fire on her, she leaps into the air, tricking them into blowing up their own power source
the mothership breaks apart as katherine leaps through the debris dives out of the ship, making a final giant push forward to throw herself away from the impending giant explosion.
just then, smaller faster triangular shaped orange ships circle around her at dizzying speeds, opening fire on her as she reaches out to grab one of the speeding crafts.
she grabs hold of it as it zooms around the atmosphere, tricking it into crashing into two of its comrades in a kamakazi like fashion, she lets go and throws herself ontop of one of the other ships to its pilots suprise and as she turns around looks to see two more ships either side of her preparing to open fire, then just ahead of her (we're above the earth btw) a gigantic alien motherhship, even more collosal in size than the one she already destroyed, appears out from its cloacking shield and aims a giant red laser down at katherine
the pilot on the ship she's standing on laughts and chuckles at the thought of her inpending fate, caring very little that he would be obliterated as well, the mothertship fires a huge laser cannon at her, she immediately dives out of the way as it blows the ship out of existance and losing her power over gravity, finds herself slowly falling down to earth.
you then see the camera stay on her as she falls through the earths atmosphere at dizzying speeds, heading straight towards the city of exeter, england. Although she can do nothing to prevent it other than attempt to sheild her face at such break neck speeds, she's about to crash land in the roof of her own house and crash directly into her own bed.
She at point blank speed crashes through her roof like a falling meteor (as the camera pans over the side of her house - her falling diagonally from top left to centre right) and directly hits her bed, smashing straight through her bedroom and cutting through the ground as if it was made out of paper.
This immediately signals her to jump out of bed in complete shock and cold sweat to a ringing alarm clock where she, startled by her surroundings and the fact that she's still breathing realises it was just a dream the whole time.
After still being completely confused by the whole situation she eventually takes note of the loud ringing alarm and turns it off, rubbing her face and realising it was all just a dream, she then reaches for a glass of water by her desk while still rubbing her face and accidently knocks over her entrance exam papers.
As they hit the floor she looks over to pick them up, only to realise that she had overslept and was due to hand them in before school shuts.
Completely shocked by this she immediately leaps out of bed and rushes around the house to get ready and dressed as fast as she can while some cheesy pop music "something like thats what girls do from AC movie" play in the background.
the camera stays panned in her room as she rushes back and forth trying to multitask getting unchanged out of her sleeping clothes and into her main clothes while brushing her teeth and coming her hair, hopping on one leg as she struggles to put her tights on while reaching for her books, knocking other things over and making a mess as she goes.
She eventually leaves the house with the papers in her hand, running out the door and looking at her watch, telling herself she has 15 minutes to get halfway across town and hand the papers in or she'll fail her entrance exams, also reminding herself she was supposed to meet Rhys at the park straight afterwards.
This signals the first stage of the game as you have to rush through her neighbourhood and into the city centre, trying to get to her school on time before they shut the doors and she misses her chance to hand her papers in. (there's no time limit in the stage itself but it gives you the impression there will be)
-stage 1: Exeter City Centre-
katherine rushes to the school doors completely out of breath as the teacher standing by the doors opens the doors for her and lets her in telling her she'd better hurry if she wants to hand those papers in.
she rushes into the building to hand her papers into the teachers desk as he was in the middle of still grading and collecting them, without even giving him a chance to react she runs back out into the hallway, grabs a drink from the drinking fountain to quench her thirst then rushes back out again while wiping her mouth as the teacher by the door tells her to enjoy the rest of her summer.
As she walks into the street, she checks her watch and panics that she left rhys waiting for ages and worries he might be mad or would of left by now.
This signals the second part of the stage as you then half to rush back through town and towards the park where rhys is always practicing football.
-Stage 2: Exeter CIty Centre Part 2- -epic cloudy, blue/yellow sunset over the city as its roughly 4pm'ish
You get to the park to see rhys by himself dribbling his football and practing his skills.
"hey, I didn't think you were going to show" he says as he passes the ball to katherine. She catches her breath and appologizes for oversleeping.
"Oh, that space dream again?" he asks as she throws the ball back to him.
"yeah, I don't know why I keep having it" she replies, explaining how she's had the exact same dream several times now.
"Huh, maybe it's fate" rhys says jokingly, acting cosmic and teasing her that its her destiny to defeat 'the evil space overlord'.
she brushes him off telling him to knock it off as he chuckles at her, but then their conversation is cut short as they hear a loud explosion followed by louds screams and panic coming from the city centre.
Confused by the noise, one asks "whats that?" and the other replies "lets check it out"
They then run over towards the city as more loud noises and grey smoke fill the sky
They get to the city centre (outside john lewis) to see people looking onwards in amaze and others rushing away in panic as a gigantic floating alien elephant with a giant drill for a trunk is wrecking havok on the whole city.
Katherine and rhys look onwards in amaze as the police cars pull up besides them and the police yell through their radios.
the giant elephant swings its tail, causing katherine to lunge up into the air as rhys, the police, some bystanders running in panic and the police cars are all swatted aside like flies.
Rhys yells out to katherine as he lays on the ground besides the police officers as she finds herself stood right infront of the giant monster directly in its sights.
This signals the first boss fight in the game where you have to fight the giant elephant monster as it has many unique forms of attack but also has no invunerable areas of its body either (besides its drill trunk), meaning any part of its exposed body is fine to attack provided it's not trying to attack you - it's invunerable when its attacking.
-Boss 1: Eledrill-
This boss has several different forms of attack and two phrases
(all the bosses in this game have several forms of attack that they perform randomly, they usually give a subtle indication of what attack they're about to perform but when they do so, they're invunerable to any form of attack so all you can do is prepare yourself and keep a safe distance until their attack is over, which makes it free to lock on and attack them again)
Phase 1
-using its trunk as a drill to drill into the ground in an attempt to drill you
-swinging its giant curled up tail, smashing trees, cars, lampposts and anything else in the way into shop windows as it does so
-firing a giant powerful laser beam from its mouth
-aiming its drill at you as it slowly spins faster and then fires small hoaming needles at you
-trying to focus an aim at you as it lunges its tail forward (like the butterfly like angels from bayonetta that you kill with a chainsaw)
-firing laser beams from its eyes from the bottom of the ground towards you in a concentrated effort to fry you with pure concentrated energy
-trying to aim at you with its drill trunk then sneezing its own trunk forward (it's trunk is apparently completely elastic)
after you've hit it 10 times, it will collapse and fall down to the ground, creating a mighty thud as it tires and struggles to breath, before you can pat yourself on the back however for thinking you've defeated it, a smaller alien like creature with a giant eyeball for a face crawls out of the elephants giant mouth, this signals the 2nd phase of the boss fight.
Phase 2 - you now have to fight the enemy that crawled out of the bosses mouth, this alien isn't as strong but is vicious, much faster and harder to hit. It has only 4 forms of attack but won't hesitate to dodge out of the way and leap onto a rooftop in an attempt to dodge your attacks as well.
-trying to swipe at you with its giant sharp claws
-firing a powerful laser beam out of its giant eyeball
-trying to trip you up by swinging its large tail at you
-building up a gust of energy as if it was breathing in and firing a much more powerful giant pink laser beam at you, destroying everything in its wake
during the boss fight, a police chopper will fly over and lock onto it with its flood light, this startles and distracts the creature but doesn't affect the outcome of the fight itself in anyway as it's still up to you alone to defeat the creature.
this boss takes 6 hits to defeat (the first 3 hits will signal the police chopper, or 2 minutes in, depending on which will come first)
After you finally stike the creature with its final hit, it will pass out and collapse on the ground, besides the alien elephant creature, ending the fight for good.
exhausted, you brush yourself off, completely bruised, messy and dirty as you limp over to rhys (both him and the police were all still in pain on the ground btw, the fight only took 1-2 minutes in real life according to the cutscene)
you help pick him up and carry him over your shoulder as he asks if you're alright (the police picking themselves up as well), you both limp over to see the mess left behind you to hear the sound of cheers and appaulse as the whole surrounding area is cheering katherine like a hero for saving the day.
suprised, katherine and rhys stand there and look on as the entire town cheers for her while the police inspect the alien bodies and try to arrange for them to be carted away while other police try to keep the crowd under control and away from the aliens.
katherine and rhys kind of smile at each other in suprise as they realise what it was they've actually done and start to embraise the priase from the citizens around them.
the camera then pans out from a birds eye view out of the city, through the clouds and into space as it pans through satallites and planets towards a giant pink glowing milky way system unlike our own, from there you can see a greenish planet known as Terra, with a similar geography to Earth, the camera then pans towards that planet then cuts to an area of open forestation within the planets surface besides dry land and a military base.
there a giant black ship flies in from the sky to make a landing, robot and lizard like foot soldiers stand in formation besides the ship as a half cyborg, half kawala bear millitary commander known as Sg. Kawalo walks towards the ship as it opens up its stairway for their leader (the main villain of the game) Untitled to walk out of the ship.
The camera pans in over to him to make the audience aware that he's the main villain and the person in control of this army as the soldiers stand guard and salute as Sg. Kawalo escorts him into the building, without saying a word they walk towards the main lift where another of Untitled's main leutenants, A spiky green creature known as Flu was manning the elevator, waiting for his arrival.
They both join him into the elevator as it closes its doors and (as the camera changes to below the elevator itself) flies up to the top floor of the building to Untitled's conference room
there Sg. Kawalo and Flu immediately get out of the elevator and stand side by side of both sides in formation as Untitled walks out, they then follow behind as he walks down the dark hallway, through the laboratory areas and towards untitled's main control room.
he immediately sits down on his large chair, his wings wrapping around him as it automatically slowly comes towards him, preparing for him to sit down and then the chair lifts itself up as his desk comes out of the ground and a giant projector comes from the ceiling into the wall behind where sg. kawalo and flu are both standing. the monitor automatically comes on, reveling untitleds logo and then showing monitors of all the parts of the world his forces have already invaded, leaving red skies and destruction in their wake.
Untitled - "So tell me of the progress made towards the blue planet my forces have begun invading, are the species under control?
Sg. Kawalo says nothing but looks to flu as he hesitates to explain to their leader that their invasion was thrwarted by a single human child (katherine) who defeated their elephant drill single handedly.
"WHAT!?!" Untitled jumps up in his seat in anger and amazement, out of fear Flu panics and explains their their forces are still invading other parts of the earth and rounding up the creatures for experimentation and captivity.
Untitled demands that the human who defeated his elephant drill be found and brought to him at once. he wants to meet the child face to face to see how powerful she really is.
flu assures him that it will be done and the camera pans to outside of the building where (the other main character of this story) Hippoloid is doing surveilance and listening in on the conversation.
He feels he better warn his crew and leaps off the ledge of the building to rush back to tell them of his discovery.
-the next day, back on earth-
katherine yawns as she leaves her front door to meet rhys outside. Its early in the morning but they meet up this early often to go for a morning jog together and play football in the park.
rhys is still in amaze over the event that happened last night and katherine jokes saying "Yep, they might even give me the key to the city"
Rhys told her that the whole event was televised and was all over the news and how everyone was calling the mysterious girl a hero
Katherine says that she can't be bothered with any of that right now, feeling heroic enough just getting her exams in on time then asks rhys if they're ready for their morning jog together.
Rhys dribbles his soccer ball and says he's going to beat her this time and without giving him any warning, responds with "yep" then immediately runs off playfully, leaving him in shock to chase after her saying "hey!"
This signals the 3rd stage in the game where you run with rhys through the parks, suburban and road areas, running through traffic then towards the woods and cliff areas, heading towards the hills and open fields on your morning jog till you get to your park hangout area (not the city park you met up with before, this ones in a more secluded, suburban area)
-stage 3: Exeter Hills- early morning, warm orange to pink to blue sunrise-
When they get to the park, rhys is out of breath as katherine playfully gloats "I beat you again!" rhys asks how she always does it and how she's so fast, she just gloats that she's awesome and playfully kicks the soccer ball away from his feet and kicks it around while he chases after her saying "hey!"
Before they get a chance to play a mysterious purple ship (similar to the orange spacescrafts in katherines dream) zooms through the sky over the park at supersonic speeds, while military helicopters loudly fly over it. Katherine and rhys look up over their heads wondering what that was about (katherine holding the soccer ball)
then the camera pans over and cuts to the other side of the field where a mysterious, omni looking cat with glass, robot looking eyes is sitting on a brick fence over someones back garden, sitting perfectly still as it watches over katherine and rhys playing (rhys trying to grab the ball from katherine as she playfully keeps it away from him)
(This cat is Untitled's personal surveilance robot, Internal who will later play a larger role in the sequels).
the next scene takes us back to planet terra (maybe have that millitary like music from sonic X playing in the background, I think they use it for the president or topaz or GUN maybe?)
The camera pans in to a secret stone base, shack out in the middle of nowhere where Hippoloid, his friends (parront, powchow, squaril) and their king are trying to devise a plan of action to stop Untitled from Invading earth and reaching Katherine before they can.
Parront - Don't we have bigger things we should be concerned about?
Powchow - Like helping save their planet?
Parront - We can barely even save our own.
Squaril - The human took down Untitled's beast like it was nothing. The only other being we've known to do something that couregious was Hippoloid.
Parront - and what a show that was...
hippoloid - the beast I fought was caught off guard. I thanked my lucky stars I made it out of there alive. This human child from the intel took down untitled's beast like it was nothing. Even if she doesn't need our help, we most definately will be needing hers if we're to rid our world of this menace.
Squaril - You really think this girl is the key?
Powchow - Our champion?
Parront - Oh brother!
Hippoloid - What's say you, your majesty?
Hippoloid turns to their king who was sat, thinking during the conversation - guards by his side standing perfectly still
hippoking - If Untitled is aware of the childs strength, there's no doubt in my mind he will be sending everything in his power to either capture her or worse. We must get to her before he does. (struggles to get out of his chair and shuffle across the room, as the camera then shows that under his robe his entire lower half is actually a surfboard, mutated during Untitled's invasion of their planet years prior.)
I need you, young Hippoloid, to travel to their planet and find that child. She isn't safe there, and she could very well be our only hope for survival...
Hiooploid - Your majesty?
Hippoloid - This... is a losing war my friends. We've been forced into hiding, and there are so few of us left. Untitled's forces spread to other planets and galaxies while we're forced to hide in the tunnels and mountains for our own safety. You know as well as I we can no longer fight this villain alone.
Parront - I can! (flexes his giant muscles)
powchow - *snickers* you wish!
Parront - what!? I've always wanted to strangle that guy under these babies after what he did to our bodies.
(they chatter in the background)
(hippoloid thinks to himself as the king rests his hands on hippoloids shoulder)
Hippoking: Do you think you can find the girl?
Hippoloid: I'll do whatever's nessisary, my lord. I just hope we're not already too late...
back on earth...
Katherine and Rhys are at Matdonalds in exeter town centre, its mid-day, pretty busy and they're eating fries while having a conversation about the alien they fought the other day
rhys is on his iphone trying to find information about it online while katherine is eating her fries, trying to figure out what it was all about.
katherine - y'know, I still can't figure out what was up with that creepy alien thing we saw the other day, and then there was that wierd ship we saw in the park... Do you think we're being invaded by aliens?
Rhys (hardly paying attention) is pre-occupied flicking through news apps on his iphone, trying to find information about the event from last night
Rhys - well you're all over the news. Yahoo, Youtube, the BBC... Everyone's asking who the 'mysterious girl' was who took down the monster last night.
katherine jumps up and leans over the table to get a look at Rhys phone
katherine - Hey, really?
Just then all of a sudden there's a loud smash through the window as three more Claw enemies (the alien creature that crawled out of eledrills mouth) invade matdonalds and cause chaos, searching for Katherine.
people scream and panic, running out the store or ducking under the tables
the claw enemies immediately spot her and one opens fire a giant laser from its eye socket and blows a hole through the entire resturant, seperating katherine and rhys as it goes through the table and sends them both flying to the ground
katehrine - RHYS!!!!
Rhys smacks his head on the ground badly as katherine (who was fortunately thrown towards the cushion seats to some bystanders who were previously minding their own business before the carnage happened but now trying to take cover) immediately gets up and hurls herself onto the table to come to his aid
the aliens immediately lock onto her and fire another laser beam, blowing yet another huge hole through the resturant and straight through to the Primark clothes store next door where shoppers are just as shocked and panicked as the patrons in the matdonalds resturant.
Katherine leaps out of the way towards the cashiers registers as one of the aliens is trying to drag Rhys away as he, after hitting his head so hard on the ground can barely find the strength to fight back, dispite being semi aware of what's going on.
Kathering screams NO!! as she then leaps up towards the wall, jumps off towards another table nearby and immediately lunges towards the aliens, kicking two of them out of the way (one trying to grab her, the other pre-occupied with trying to drag rhys away)
as they tumble towards the ground, the 3rd alien attacks her by swinging its both its large claws then trying to swing its giant tail at her, katherine dodges all three attacks, jumps up on one of the cushion chairs with one foot and uses it to kick the alien in the face
one of the aliens fires a more powerful laser beam at her as she falls to the ground besides rhys, just barely missing it by a hair, immediately looks for his iphone, grabs it while grabbing him at the same time then makes a leap out of the broken window while carrying him, semi concious over her shoulder.
the alien that katherine kicked in the face chases her out of the resturant and leaps from smashed up car to lamppost and dives onto her back, throwing both her and rhys to the ground as tons of bystanders panic over the carnage.
katherine falls to the ground in pain as she grazes her left knee and both elbows badly as she hits the curb, rhys also flying into a parked car as she wasn't able to keep hold of him.
she struggles to pick herself up as the alien ruthlessly dives onto her back, pulling at her hair and clawing at her scalp.
Rhys immediately finds the strength to pick himself up, finding a nearly pole broken from the broken debris whacks the alien over the head with it and sends it flying to the ground.
Rhys is still a little dizzy from hitting his head so hard but he refuses to let his friend be hurt by these creatures.
Katherine - Rhys...
She struggles to pick hemself up as rhys is still standing there holding the pipe with a tight grip on both hands
he comes to her aid and tries to help her up, asking if she's ok, she tells him she hit her knee pretty badly but the conversation is immediately cut short as the two aliens in the matdonalds pick themselves up, look at the flightened employee's then after quickly decucing that katherine is not among them dive out the window to join the fight in the street, the alien rhys hit also picking itself up and latching onto the wall of a shop building and two more aliens diving out from a manhole pipe, causing even more chaos and panic.
Rhys - Kat... I think we should get out of here, ...Now!
Katherine immediately uses both of her legs to kick Rhys to the ground as hard as she can as the claw enemy he hit was about to fire a powerful laser at him which blows the car besides them to smitherines, sending its flaming remains flying backwards.
Katherine then immediately picks herself up, grabs rhys over her shoulder again and says "Agreed! Lets get the heck out of here!"
They run off both limping as fast as they can towards an indoor shopping mall while the police, ambulance and fire brigade show up with loud sirens which distracts all of the aliens from noticing where she went.
Some of them stay to fight (preparing to fire lasers at them) while the others climb up buildings and flee to hunt down katherine and rhys.
scene cuts to katherine and rhys taking shelter in the indoor malls public toilets as they gasp for breath and tend to their grazed wounds.
Katherine - *pant pant pant*... what the hell were those things!!
rhys is still really nautious from how badly he hurt his head. holding onto it as he can barely keep his eyes open and neck up from the pain.
Katherine - Hey, are you ok?
rhys - Ughh... I really hit my head badly back there... I'm not bleeding but...
katherine - you should probably get it checked out.
rhys - Those things were the same creature that came out of that monster from the other day. They were after us, Katherine! They seriously were after US!!
Katherine - We barely made it out of there alive. Whatever those things are, it isn't safe for us here.
rhys - ...where else are we gonna go?
katherine - my dad has a friend who can help us out, y'know the bear detective agency?
rhys looks at her puzzled as if she's talking nonsence - ...What!?
katherine - Benjamin Bear, y'know, the human bear that lives here in town!
Rhys - ...Katherine, what the f...
Katherine - Look! If anyone can help right now, it's him. He's our only chance right now.
Rhys just shakes his head at her, still a little nautious as she climbs ontop of one of the bins and hand dryers to look out the tiny window to see if the coast is clear.
Katherine - don't give me that look! Unless you have a better idea thats exactly where I'm going.
Rhys - Alright! I'm with you. Look, thanks for... y'know, saving my butt back there.
Katherine - Hey, backacha, now lets get going.
She opens up the window as far as it'll go and begins to climb out.
Rhys - Wait, we're going out the window!?
Katherine - Sure! I ain't going back that THAT way! The detective agency is just a few blocks away from here anyway *points out the window* It's quicker this way.
Rhys - ...Alright, wait up. (checks his iphone to see if its broken or not)
the scene then cuts back to the matdonalds resturant where absolute carnage and flaming wreckage has engulfed the entire street.
Sg. Kawalo walks towards the resturant to inspect the damage, followed closely behind a few of the claw enemies
Sg. Kawalo - ...send out a search unit. I want more ground troops in the area. Untitled must not know of this failure!
Sg. kawalo picks up a notice board poster from the broken debris to inspect it
sg. kawalo - they couldn't have gotten far...
the next scene cuts to katherine and rhys running towards the detective agency just around the corner near the bridge (near their school)
panting for breath and limping as they hold each other, they storm into the building, startling the male receptionist, Mike who was filing out paperwork
Mike - Wooah, you c...
Katherine - Mike, we need to see Ben right now, tell him it's Katherine.
Mike gets up a little confused but realises the situations urgent so he panics and says "Right, wait here, I'll..."
he walks into ben's office while katherine and rhys lie down in the chairs, exhausted and out of breath.
katherine stretches her legs and rugs her knees while rhys lays there with his hand over his heartbeat and head leaning towwards the celing.
Rhys - dude, we really are cutting it.
Just then ben walks into the room followed by mike to inspect the situation.
Ben - Katherine?
Katherine - Ben! *pant* We've *pant* got a serious problem on our hands.
Rhys looks up to see that the person katherine was reffering to was in fact a human shaped bear in a detectives suit.
he's shocked, but at this point too startled and exhausted by everything else that has happened to him today to even comment on what he's seeing.
Katherine - you saw the news, right!?
Ben - The creature you defeated in the city centre?
Katherine - Yeah well...
Rhys - ...Wait you Knew!?
Ben - Of course.
Katherine - There's more of them, and they're after US! You're the only person we can turn to, Ben!
Ben - I see... It's not safe for you both here, come into my office.
They both follow ben downstairs into his secret office, Rhys still completely puzzled by whats going on (he has a drink of cooler water btw)
in ben's office
ben - have a seat.
ben rummages through some files on the top shelf to pull out a giant map as katherine and rhys both sit down before the large table in his basement/office
ben - I've been fearing this event would happen for a long time now. What I'm about to tell you both is top secret and -cannot- leave this room.
he puts the map down on the desk and unrolls it to revieal it's actually a coloured map of the milky way galaxy that hippoloids world is from.
ben - You see Katherine, I'm not originally from this world.
he points his finger to one of the tiny planets on the map as katherine says "Oohhh..."
ben - I originally came from a distant universe not too different from your own. This planet is where I am from.
Rhys - Wait, so... you're an alien too?
ben - you could say that I suppose. Our world was once invaded by an evil dictator known only as Untitled. he quickly changed everything and almost everyone who didn't flee from the galaxy quickly became slaves to his army.
Rhys is looking at katherine, shocked that she's not reacting to all of this the same way he is, finding everything he's being told a little hard to believe.
Katherine - And you've been living here ever since?
ben - Yes. our world has the technology to cross open portals to other galaxies, but at this point returning back there would be comitting suicide...
We as a species vowed to never let Untitled get ahold of our technology, but if he's indeed found a way to cross over to this world then I fear nobody on this planet will be safe...
Katherine - Well, what can we do? We can't just sit here and do nothing. Those things out there nearly killed us today!!
Rhys - Please sir, you must know of a way!
ben - (he rolls up the map again) I made a vow to your father once that I would keep you safe whenever you would need me. I don't know at this point what can be done but I will help you in anyway I can.
Katherine - you're able to go back to your world at anytime you want to, right? So why don't we go back there and stop this guy?
Rhys - K-KATHERINE, YOU'RE CRAZY!! If what happened today is just the begining, then we need to get as far away from here as possible! Let's get on the train, go to Bristol or ...s-something!?
Katherine - Ben?
Ben - *sigh* I wish ...everyday it was possible, but sadly there isn't a planet anymore to go back to... At this point however your friend is right, Katherine. If those creatures are indeed after you, they won't rest until they've found you once more.
I'll arrange for a safehouse I know in London where you can stay. It's not much but I can guarentee that will be the safest part of the country when the invasion happens...
Katherine looks at him furious with a tear in her eye and gripping both fists, she immediately runs off as he was searching his phonebook for the address for the safehouse.
Rhys - Katherine!
Ben - Listen to me! You must go after her, those things Will Not rest until they've found her again. Exeter isn't safe anymore young man, this is going to be the place Untitled will strike first. Do you understand?
Rhys slowly nods
Ben - Wherever you go, make sure it's as far away from here as possible... And here. (hands rhys his business card) Call me whenever you are able. I will help you in anyway I can.
Rhys - T-thanks. ...I better go after her.
Ben - Stay safe, lad.
Rhys runs out of the room after katherine.
The next scene takes place back on hippoloids world.
that same millitary like music is playing again as hippoloids friends and the king are outside in an open area helping him prepare for his travels to earth
Parront and powchow are packing his rucksack while the others are preparing to bid him farewell
parront - let's see... err laser rifles... check. ammunition... check
powchow - oxygen?
parront - ...check.
hippoking - when you find the girl, be sure to bring her back here to us as quickly as possible.
squiral - our intel suggests that Untitled is already sending his minions after her. The co-ordinates indicate the attack was in the exact same area the initial invasion took place. Could we be too late?...
powchow - food?
parront - let's see... err... check.
hippoloid - I'll find out whatever I can and report back to you as soon as I'm able.
Hippoking - Good luck, Hippoloid. Our fate may very well be in your hands.
as he says this, the portal opens up to take hippoloid to earth.
everyone waves goodbye to him as he walks through the portal.
powchow - wow... do you think he will be alright?
hippoking - we can only hope, powchow...
powchow (to parront) - hey, you remembered to pack his communicator in the bag didn't you?
parront quickly searches through the checklist and then himself
parront - Ahh... I ...ohhhh.
There is an awkward pause among them as they all stand there in silence...
next scene
back on earth (roughly 6pm now)
Rhys walks into katherines bedroom to see her manically packing her bags
Rhys - Katherine?
katherine - lets see... sandwiches... check, bottled water...
Rhys - Woah! Hey! Katherine! Where do you think you're going!?
katherine - Look, you and Ben can just be happy with hiding in a ditch somewhere, but I am not just going to sit here and wait to be invaded Rhys.
zips up her bag
Katherine - I am going to stop this whole thing even if I have to do it by myself!
Rhys grabs her arm
Rhys - Woah! Katherine!
Katherine - RHYS!!
She throws her arm away but rhys then blocks her exit
Rhys - Will you think about what you're going to do for a second!? This is crazy!
Katherine - Outta the way.
Rhys - No!
Katherine - Get out of the way!!
Rhys - Look! Just because you took down that one giant alien thing, doesn't mean you can take out an entire alien invasion! You heard what the bear said, he lost his entire planet to those things!
Katherine starts crying and tries to rub a tear from her face - *sniff*
Rhys - Whatever we're doing, *she tries to reach for the door again but rhys makes sure the door slams shut* We're doing it together! Alright? You and me! The two of us. We're a team! remember?
Katherine rubs her face and then puts her rucksack down as she slowly calms
Katherine - *sniff* *sigh* I'll... go make us some sandwiches and then... *she immediately tries to make a break for the door but rhys quickly blocks her again
Rhys - Ah-Ahh!
Katherine growls in fustration - Grrrrrrrr!!
Rhys points his finger at her
Rhys - Look, I mean it Katherine. Whatever we're doing, we're doing it together. You're not running off without me again.
katherine - I... Ur... .... *breathes in* ...ALRIGHT!! Alright! *throws her rucksack out of the way and slams herself down on her bed with her arms spread out facing the ceiling* God! You win!! We'll do it your way!
Rhys - Right... Right? *rhys walks away from the door and goes into his pocket to find the card ben gave him*
Rhys - Look, your friend gave me this card, I think we should...
the very second rhys's guard is down katherine makes an immediate break for the door and runs out the room
Rhys - Katherine!? KATHERINE!!! *god dammit...*
rhys looks out onto the balcony then runs back in katherines room and looks out of her bedroom window to see her running outside then calls to her.
Rhys - Katherine!!
Katherine - I just need to go clear my head for a bit, I'll call you later on!!
Rhys - you son of a...!?!
immediately cuts to the next scene
--NEXT SCENE--
back in Untitled's laboritory
Sg. kawalo is standing before untitled with his head down. Untitled is staring him down in silence and dissapointment as he stands there with his arms folded.
-long pause of silence-
Untitled - *breathes in* ...And you lost her?
Sg. Kawalo - We searched everywhere my lo...
Untitled - YOU -LOST- HER!
Sg. Kawalo - My lord, I...
Untitled - Where is She, Kawalo?
Sg. Kawalo - -awkward pause of silence-
Untitled - Is she aboard the ship? Is she here? Answer me!!
Sg. Kawalo - No my lord, she is not.
Untitled - Then -You've- Lost Her!
Sg. Kawalo - ...
Untitled turns his back to him and sits back down in his automatic chair
Untitled - You have failed me Kawalo, make it be the last time!
Sg. Kawalo - .....
Untitled - ANSWER ME!!
Sg. Kawalo - S-s-sir.
Untitled raises his arm for Sg. Kawalo to leave the room while he focuses his attention to the monitors infront of him relaying information over the invasion to exeter which then shows a window in the corner of katherine fighting eledrill
Untitled - Mark my words, Human. I will have you...
Untitled immediately gets up from his chair, the chair moves back and the desk collapses into the ground so the chair can go over it while the monitor screen goes back into the air, revealing another open room behind it
Untitled walks into the room where a shirtless blonde boy is laying on the operating table with his eyes closed.
automatic mechanical arms are operating on him (you cant see what they're doing on camera) and on the lab table is Internal, purring as his tail wags as he watches over the experiment
Untitled - Show me his vitals.
Internal immediately jumps off of the table and walks out of the room as a smaller monitor comes down from the celing infront of him and shows him Leon's energy levels, etc
Untitled (to the machines) - Make sure his fuel processors remain properly sheilded.
Untitled - Soon you will be complete Leon. The perfect assassin who will complete my every task without failure. Once you assassinate the King and outthrow the resistance, I'm sending you down to earth to bring me that child, if Kawalo fails me again that is.
By the months end, that entire galaxy will belong to me.
he walks out of the room while the camera focuses on leons face with his eyes still closed...
next scene
Hippoloid arrives on earth through (just outside of Exmouth train station) at 7.30pm
Hippoloid put his voice communicator on his wrist to his mouth
hippoloid - Ok, I've arrived on the planet's surface. I seem to be in the middle of a town of sorts. The atmosphere in this world seems almost near identical to our own... the ground is a little harder *stomps on the ground with one foot to test how solid the ground is* ...Gravity seems to be about the same... *jumps in place*
The sign in their language reads "Exmouth Train Station"... I'm not sure if this is the same place or not... come in HQ.
-awkward silence- ...Parront? Squiral? Are you there? ...hello? Checks his voice communicator. Damn... Nothing. Suppose I'm on my own for this mission... This place doesn't seem to be affected by any signs of panic or an invasion. I'll have to begin searching for clues...
Wanders off towards the loud and bright amusement arcade
The next day...
Katherine and rhys are riding a national express coach to London with their bags packed.
Katherine and rhys are sitting in the far back row, katherine has her head in her hands sulking that she's running away and rhys is trying to cheer her up.
Rhys - Hey, cheer up. This is the best thing we can do at this point.
Katherine - *sigh*... I really can't believe we're leaving it all behind, Rhys... I really can't. Our whole lives were in that city.
Rhys - (holding his soccer ball) It's just until things calm down. Look, the government. The military... they're going to take care of this mess. It's not our job to go throw ourselves at danger like that.
Katherine lies back and rests her head against the seat
Katherine - Still, our families have no idea what's even going on right now...
Rhys - My mum's in florida, your dad's away on business. Ben said he was going to take care of everything, we've just got to get to London before anything else crazy happens.
Katherine - ...*sigh*
as she lays back and rests on the coach, the camera pans out to the motorway and the scenery around it.
Then without any warning whatsoever, a gigantic blue tenticle smashes through the concrete from under the ground, throws the entire coach spinning in the air while everyone inside is screaming.
Katherine screams for Rhys as he does for her but they're completely seperated by the chaos and panic within the coach.
A gigantic alien serphant creature smashes through the ground of the motorway as his tenticles cover all parts of the scenery. From the sky a gigantic pink spacecraft appears from cloaking and onboard, Sg. Kawalo watches over the scene with a rex foot soldier and a panda soldier on guard.
Sg. Kawalo - hmph, we have you at last, human. On my mark prepare to open fire on anything that interferes. Failure will not be accepted a second time.
Rex soldier - Sir!
back on the ground, katherine pulls her self out of the wreckage, coughing and trying to call for rhys "Rhys..."
She picks herself up among with a few other survivors to witness the gigantic creature in the distance wailing out loud sirens.
it smashes a tenticle through the coach, throwing katherine and any other people out of the way as katherine screams "Woah!!"
She flies to the floor and screams "RHYS!!!!!!!" then the serphant wails out another siren.
She looks at it head on, angrily. Ready to kick some ass.
This starts the second boss fight of the game against the serphant.
-Boss 2: The Serphant-
After the boss is over and the creature lies in the landscape defeated, Sg. Kawalo's ship retreats back into the sky due to the overwhelimng might of the millitary and millitary cars rush past katherine to ensure the beast is defeated.
Katherine rushes back, exhausted and limping to the coach and the paramedics trying to save injured or dead passengers and katherine panics, fearing Rhys may be among them.
She looks over to see rhys sitting on an ambulances open doors with hot coco and a blanket around his shoulders and katherine sighs in relief and says "Thank god..."
she walks up to rhys while the paramedics around them are busy working on other people.
Rhys - You really gave 'em hell, I gotta give you that.
katherine jokingly inspects her nails to be smug - Ehh, it wern't nothing.
katherine - So how about you? Ready to get out of here?
Rhys - are you serious?
Katherine - Dude, c'mon. I am ready for anything!
Rhys - ...you're so bipolar.
katherine - Well unless your legs arn't working it looks like I'm gonna have to leave you behind.
Rhys gives her a funny, smirky look :/
Katherine - I'll even race you to the next town. ready? On your marks...
Rhys - Kat...
Katherine - Get set...
Rhys - Y'know our luggage is still in...
Katherine - ...GO!
She immediately runs off giving Rhys little time to react other to get up and chase after her
Rhys - Wait!
-stage 4: Road to Exmouth- - play the song love II love
In this stage you're racing alongside rhys yet again, running through the motorway, through farms, past a car park, across a bridge, into suburban areas towards exmouth town centre, through the town centre and towards the docks
at the dockyard
Katherine and rhys are having a moment to catch their breath, watching the sea as they enjoy the scenery
seagulls fly by and cry
rhys - you know we past the train station like 2 miles back, right?
kat - I know. ...I just wanted to see this place one last time.
rhys - huh?
kat - man, I used to love coming here on vacation when I was younger. See that apartment over there? (points to one of the apartment buildings in the docks)
rhys - yeah?
kat - thats where we used to stay. My nan used to live just around the corner from here as well. We'd go on walks, go to the park, enjoy the countryside...
rhys - I had no idea you had so much history here?
kat - *sigh* yeah... sure am going to miss this place...
just then, three more of the claw enemies appear, one swining ontop of a lamppost, one diving out of the water and one coming to the left of them, crawling on the ground.
Rhys - Oh NOT this again!
kat - Come on! We're getting out of here!!
-stage 5: Exmouth park - maybe play the song you and music or would you rather save that for katherine and hippoloid 2
In this stage you're running from the dockyard, along the beach, through the park, up the large climb towards the cliffs and where that tower thing is while untitleds army attacks the town
hippoloid is hiking above the cliffs watching the ocean, fustrated that nobody seems to know who the mysterious girl is
hippoloid - *sigh* this is hopeless, I've spent an entire day in this world with no leads whatsoever and no idea where I am. I may as well send a beacon out to open up a portal. Wherever this girl is, she's clearly nowhere near here.
Just as hippoloids tinkering with his voice communicator, katherine and rhys come racing into the cliff area at top speed
Rhys - Look, Katherine there's another one!
Katherine dives up in the air and gives hippoloid a flying kick screaming "Yiaa...!!" before he can barely react to whats going on
Hippoloid - What in blazes is going on here!?
Katherine pins him down in a chokehold and demands answers
Katherine - Alright squeeky, I'm done playing around! We want answers and we want them NOW! Take us to your leader!
Hippoloid - *gag* *cough* What!? It-It's you!?
Katherine - Me!??
Hippoloid - YOU!
Katherine gets off of him completely puzzled, rhys just as puzzled as she is
Rhys - Wait.. You!?
Katherine - No!
Hippoloid - Yes! I've been searching everywhere for YOU! *points to her* Yes, You!
Katherine steps back waving her hands
Katherine - Woah Woah Woah little guy, I am NOT your leader, ok?
Hippoloid - Yes! We've been searching for you. My people NEED you to come back with us!
Rhys - Wait, THIS is why they're after you!?
Hippoloid - Who?
Rhys - YOU!! (points to katherine)
Katherine - Woah, Woah, No, no, ...no! I, I'm not your ruler ok? Just go back to whatever alien world you're from and leave us all alone!
Hippoloid - You don't understand, you're in great danger here!
Katherine - Yeah well YOU started it! *points to hippoloid angrily*
Hippoloid - I did not!
Katherine - Yes you did, you invaded Earth!
Hippoloid - I've only been here a day!?
Katherine - Oh HOW convenient for YOU!
Rhys - Guys! Guys! Stop it! This isn't getting us nowhere.
Katherine - Anywhere.
Rhys looks at katherine angrily for correcting her
Rhys - K-kat...
Hippoloid brushes himself off.
hippoloid - You're definately as strong as they say, I'll give you that. Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name's Hippoloid. I belong to a resistance group on a distant world from a far away galaxy known as Terra.
Katherine - Well, I'm katherine, this is Rhys.
Rhys - Hey.
Hippoloid - Hello.
katherine - but what about this invasion?
Hippoloid - Thats why I'm here, Our world was taken over by the same tyrant who's now trying to take over your planet. He's known only as Untitled. This fearsome dictator has conquored over many worlds and galaxies in his time, and we now believe he is targeting YOU directly, Katherine.
Katherine - ...Why me?
Hippoloid - The day that monster was attacking your city, you defeated it with such courage. We've watched your battles, and never have we seen such strength and skill before.
Katherine - wait, you were watching that!?
Rhys - ...hey, isn't that the guy Ben the bear was talking about the other day? Untitled?
Katherine - Oh..., Hey, are you from Ben's world too??
Hippoloid - Look, the fact of the matter is Katherine, you're not safe here. Untitled will stop at nothing to bring you down because he fears you might be the key to ending his entire reign.
Katherine - you... you know I'm just a 15 year old kid, right??
Hippoloid - Are all 15 year old kids of your world as strong as you?
katherine - well...??
rhys - he's right, katherine. You took down two giant monsters like it wasn't even a huge deal. Then you got up like you were ready for more.
Hippoloid - You may not need our help, Katherine. But there isn't a doubt in my mind we really could use yours. Will you come back to my world and speak with my ruler?
katherine without saying anything looks at him a little stunned and points her thumb over her shoulder to rhys
hippoloid - yes, you're both welcome to come to my world. The last place Untitled would even think to look for you would be with the resistance, and I'm sure you'd like to be off of his radar while we come up with a plan to stop this invasion.
rhys - Wait, how ...did you get to our world anyway?
Hippoloid - with this. (presses a button on his voice communicator which opens up a portal right in front of them)
katherine and rhys both look at it in amaze.
Hippoloid - these portals have been our only weapon against Untitled for a long time now. He isn't aware we even have this technology, if he did there's no telling what lengths he'd go through to get to it. Come, it isn't safe here. There could be spies tracking our every move.
Rhys - Well?
Katherine - Dude... We're going to another world!
Katherine slaps rhys hand exitedly as they high 5 each other then she dives face first into the portal.
Rhys smiles/smirks suprisingly then willingly climbs in after her.
Hippoloid follows suit and the portal closes behind them.
next scene
untitled's laboratory
Elevator doors open as Sg. kawalo who was inside is about to walk out to report back to untitled.
flu is standing there waiting for him
flu - looks like you're about to lose your rank, sergant...
kawalo - Untitled may frighten me Flu, but you do not.
flu - *hmph* and when has that ever made a difference?
flu walks into the elevator and takes it down while sg. kawalo is left to face untitled.
outside Untitled's main office, hippochelsea walks out flexing his neck and arm muscles. he walks past sg. kawalo without saying anything as kawalo continues to walk into untitleds office
untitled is sitting in his chair faced away from sg kawalo and faced away from the large monitor on the wall behind them, but instead looking at the smaller one in front of him, arching his fingers.
As soon as Kawalo enters the room, two rex soldiers stand behind him, ready to escort him out on untitleds demand.
Untitled: everything in my plan is going according to schedlule. Soon Leon will be complete, the resistance is about to be wiped out and I will gain complete control over another galaxy...
turns around to face kawalo
Untitled: tell me, Kawalo. Do you think I am a joke!?
Kawalo: ...no, my lord...
Untitled: So then tell me, Kawalo... why you thought it was a good idea to enter the Earths atmosphere with a small handful of soldiers and just ONE ship?
Kawalo: ...
as kawalo remains in silence, Mr Pez Zooh enters the room, ready to take Sg. Kawalo's place in command
Untitled: For years Sg. Kawalo, you've commanded my armies into battle, helped me takeover many different worlds and build a larger empire. ...it is for that reason alone I'm not going to have you killed. ...yet. Take him away.
kawalo says nothing as the two soldiers escort him out, as he walks past mr zooh he gives him a mean glare as zooh smirks at him. (the two of them obviously having history as rival army commanders working for Untitled)
Untitled: Pez Zooh, I trust you won't make the same mistake commanding my men as Kawalo has. Bring me that girl, whatever the cost. Do you understand?
mr zooh puts his robotic hand over his waist and bows to Untitled before walking back out of the room.
Next scene
In another part of planet Terra...
A portal opens above a lush secluded tropical oasis and out of the portal, katherine shoots out face first and faceplants into a pool of water. Rhys following closely behind her, also punging into the pool
Kat - Woooaahhhhh!!
rhys - Aaaahhhhhh!
Hippoloid, being used to using portals knows to go in feet first so he lands safely on the sand besides them
katherine pulls her head out of the water and looks around the scenery in amaze
kat - Woah.... Would you look at this place? ...Dude, check it out!
Hippoloid inspects his voice communicator as the co-ordinates he was meant to warp them to are wrong
Hippoloid - This isn't right... The portal was supposed to take us over to the resistance's hideout.
katherine, ignoring him is still amazed by the scenery
hippoloid - ...I'll have to get this device checked out when we return to base. Luckily we're not that far off, It's just a few miles past this lagoon. Are you ready for a long hike?
Katherine immediately jumps up
Kat - Ready!? I'll even race you!
Just with that she immediately runs off into the cave.
hippoloid looks on at her puzzled while rhys a little shocked
Rhys ; Oh, katherine...
They both look at each other then get up and immediately race after her.
this signals the start of the next stage
-stage 6: oasis coast-
in this stage you travel through caves and waterfalls, filled with glowing butterfly swamps, out into a bright and sunny beach ruins where dolphins and whales arch over you in the glistering sun, a while dives up in the air and creates a huge tidal wave that you litually surf on with your feel, the water arches out creating a path for you you have to rush through before it closes up
the whole level is inspired by the first stage of all stars transformed
next scene
they get to the beach near the abandoned town and as hippoloid and rhys are catching up, katherine lies in the sand with her arms spread out and enjoys the warm bathe of the sunlight
kat - Man that was fun, did you see those dolphins back there? That was freakin incredible!?
rhys - *catching his breath* Kat you can't keep running off like that.
kat - Oh *Pfft*
Hippoloid checks the scanner on his voice communicator
hippoloid - well we're heading in the right direction reguardless. This small town was abandoned years ago when Untitled first invaded our world, our headquaters is just past those mountains in the horizon.
kat walks up to rhys and pats him on the back.
Kat - Rhys, why don't you take point for once?
Rhys - me? how do you mean?
kat - c'mon, it'll be fun. Just go for it! Lead the way, Rhys!
rhys looks at her puzzled then sighs
rhys - well, alright...
kat points forward
kat - good! lets go!
-stage 7: Sky mountains-
this is the first time you get to play as rhys while kat and hippoloid follow you, you're going through the small town, hiking to the top of the mountains, avoiding large boldiers and travelling through a tropical jungle, into a swamp, into a cave and to an open field on the other side
next scene
as they enter the open meadow, they look around as hippoloid catches up
rhys - woah, where are we?
Hippoloid - This is home. This open field remains secluded for the most part...
kat and rhys are immediately both caught in a large tree net trap
rhys and kat - WOAH!!?!
Hippoloid - ...watch out for the booby traps btw. (turns around from inspecting his communicator to see they've already been caught) ...oh, hold on.
Hippoloid gets out his laser rifle and shoots the rope from the tree branch, sending them both crashing to the ground before he helps them both up.
hippoloid - we have traps set up everywhere to ward off our enemies, as long as you stick by me you should be safe.
kat - yeah... I hope.
they both walk up to the fortressed wall area where a soldier manning a spotlight notices them and commands them to hault
soldier - Hold!
Hippoloid - It's ok, these visitors are with me.
soldier - Oh, sir Hippoloid. My sincere apolgies. I'll alert the others to open the gate.
he rushes off to let the gate be opened while kat whispers to him
kat - woah, so are you like, royalty around here or something?
hippoloid - ever since our world was invaded, I've served directly under the king. There are very few among our kind left. I suppose you could say it wasn't hard to make a good impression.
kat nods her head - I see...
soldier #1: open the gate
soldier #2: visitors arriving.
they walk through the gate while the hippo soldiers stand guard, kat looks around while rhys takes out his iphone and snaps a photo of them.
they both close the gate behind them and they walk on through a shanty-like town where all the civilians left have taken refuge, some females walking by with laundry, some mercinaries sharpening their knives or polishing their guns, looking on at the visitors as they walk by
they walk towards the large castle-like building in the centre of the fort as the soldiers guarding the door stand guard and salute as they open the door to let them inside
kat gives them a salute back while rhys is pre-occupied with snapping photos of everything, including the soldier behind him on his right as he walks past. the royal soldier obviously doesnt achnoledge this and continues to stand guard
as they enter the castle, parront and powchow run up to them completely out of breath
parront - *gasp* Thank god you actually made it back, we were worried we sent you off without any way to get back to us.
powchow - parront forgot to pack in your communicator
parront - hey! You were supposed to be doing inventory too, powchow!
powchow giggles and taunts him *nah nah na nah nah
hippoloid - So I'd noticed. Fortunately we were able to open a portal not too far from the region, I don't think we were spotted by any of Untitled's spies.
parront looks at kat and rhys in amaze
parront - Woah... so This is what a human looks like, huh?
powchow - cool!
kat waves to them and smiles while rhys puts his phone away
kat - hey!
parront - hey.
hippoloid - well, lets not waste anymore time. Take us to the king.
next scene cuts to them walking through the palace corrido with music playing thats similar to halo 3's memorial ending
parront - We were running surveilance checks in the mountains while you were gone. We had palmzinc rely activity from the outpost back to us at HQ. Somethings up?
hippoloid - something suspicious
parront - it's been really quiet there for a while now. Even too quiet for what we're used to. Palmzinc is worried Untitled is planning something big, and we Don't think it's because he's pre-occupied with invading other worlds.
hippoloid - well if the information is coming from palmzinc then I have every reason to trust him. What did squiral say about the theory?
squiral - he's more pre-occupied with spying on Untitled's head honcho's for information, but he's thinking the same. Even for us things really have been too quiet in our world, recently. (says this as he opens the door to hippokings chamber/palace as soldiers stand guard
while they're talking powchao looks up at katherine, still curious at how different her race is to his, but gives her a friendly ^_^ as she looks back and smiles, rhys looking at the surroundings and admiring it all.
hippoloid - we should keep on our toes. I doubt the fact we're still the only resistance left on the planet hasn't escapes Untitled's notice. I haven't a doubt in my mind he'd willingly send a thousand ships after us if he knew where we were located.
parront - you seem edgy?
hippoloid - It feels like we've been cutting things a little too close lately. I don't want one of us to get wreckless and blow the entire operation
parront - Relax. We've got this all under control.
(they walk up to the king as he welcomes them with open arms)
hippoking - Ah Hippoloid, you've returned with our guests.
hippoking - your majesty.
hippoking - welcome young friends. You must be tired from your journey. Please, make yourselves at home here.
Kat - Thanks!
hippoloid - And what do we call you, warriers from afar?
Kat - Oh, Im Katherine, this is my buddy Rhys.
Rhys - Hello.
Hippoloid - It's a pleasure to meet you both. I am the king of this lagoona kingdom. We were once a proud and peaceful nation, but as Untitled invaded our world we've all been forced to take shelter here in this guarded fortress.
Make no mistake my friends, he rules over most of this entire world. We're all thats left who stayed behind to fight this menace but we fear it's a losing battle.
Rhys - So how can we help?
hippoloid - we've seen your battles on your world. You may not know it my girl, but I see a great champion within you. We're hoping you could join us in taking the fight back to Untitled. In return we're willing to do everything in our power to ensure he doesn't do to your world what he already has done to ours.
kat - I'm ready for anything. Just tell us where to go.
Hippoking - My dear, we may all be indebted by your bravery. But for now, please take the time to rest. We still need to form a plan to take the fight to our enemy.
powchow - come, the lounge area is this way!
powchow escorts kat and rhys out while hippoloid stays behind to talk to the king
hippoking - Are you sure you're ready for this fight, hippoloid?
hippoloid - your majesty, we fear untitled may be planning something much bigger than we're ready for. The girl may be strong but they're still just children.
hippoking - These are trying times for all of us, my boy. Under any other circumstances I agree they're too young for such a task, but I'm afraid we don't have any other alternative.
hippoking - I understand, your majesty...
hippoloid puts his arm around his waist and bows as he and parront walks out of the room
hippoking - parront, make sure hippoloids communicator is up and running again before he leaves, will you?
parront - I've got it!
-next scene-
back on earth..
benjamin bear is in his office looking through paperwork while talking to someone on speakerphone
ben - and you say they never arrived?
voice - I checked with the station but they wouldn't give me any information. They said there was an incident with the coach. I'm assuming it must be related to that giant creature they found on the M5.
Ben - keep me posted, call me as soon as you hear anything useful.
voice - I'll keep a lookout.
(ends the call)
ben - oh katherine... tell me you're not among them...
sits and twiddles his thumbs
suddenly there's a loud tremble that shakes up his entire office
he runs upstairs to his receptionist and looks out of the window where people are running and panicking as untitleds gigantic battleships fly over exeter city
Untitled's voice over the sirens - People of earth. There is no need to panic. I am Untitled. I have come to this world on a mission of conquest. You WILL surrender to my empire or face extermination.
loads of rex footsoldiers and other soldiers of untitled's crash into the earths atmosphere and scare and intimidate the public, the rex soldier growling at a panicking woman as she tries to run away
Ben - No... this can't be happening again! I was hoping there would be more time...
ben rushes into the other room to grab his coat and runs off
mike - sir??
Ben - Close up shop and get yourself to safety. I have to go somewhere in a hurry!
ben runs down the street as fast as he can while untitleds battleships head towards the city centre and eclipse over the entire city.
next scene
back at the castle...
Its now late at night and katherine and rhys are in a private bedroom together lying on seperate beds while thinking about the exiting day they've had
Rhys is kicking his shoes off and taking off his hoodie while katherine (shoes off) is lying on her bed exited about tomorrow
kat - Wow, I really can't believe we're in another world Rhys. Wait till we tell the guys back home. Who's even believe it.
rhys- tell me about it. I've been taking pictures on my phone all day. There's no way anyone's gonna belive the stuff we've done today!
kat - what do you think it'll be like tomorrow?
rhys - think they're going to try and train you up to be some kind of galactic warrior like hippoloid?
kat - well that sounds boring, I wanna go explore more cool places! Did you see those freaking dolphins with the chainsaws on their backs? And that huge whale back there? I've never seen anything like it!
rhys (taking off his socks) - Arn't you even worried about whats happening back home? What if it's already under attack?
kat - Like Hippoloid said, there's nothing we can really do over there, best thing we can really do right now is stay with these guys and help where we're needed.
rhys gets under his covers
rhys - well, I'm knackered either way. Guess we'll know tomorrow whatever it is we're going to be up against. See you in the morning.
kat - night.
Kat stays awake and stares at the ceiling thinking about her adventures with a smile on her face.
kat - man...
scene cuts to midnight in the castle where you see a few guards walking past while talking, getting ready to swap places with the night shift guards, some already standing by on duty
you see the scene from the eyes of a computer/cyborg as he/it walks through the castle being seemingly undetected. (this is leon btw infiltrating the castle under the guise of a human child)
he walks past parront who, on his way back to his own chambers mistakes him for one of katherines friends
parront - Woah, hey kid. You really shouldn't be wandering around the place at this hour. A guard could think you're trespassing.
voice: ...
parront - you know your way back to the right wing of the castle, right. Your friend is probably there waiting for you right now.
voice: Friend?...
parront - you know, the girl in pink you came with. C'mon I'll show you the way.
still keeping the camera in 1st person 'cyborg mode', parront escorts leon to katherine's room, mistaking him for rhys
parront - It's right down that hall, the 3rd door on the left. (camera cuts out to regular mode to reviel he was talking to leon the whole time) Don't try and wander about too much kid.
without saying anything, he watches parront leave then slowly walks up to the open door and spies through the crack to see katherine laying on the bed while rhys is tucked away in bed
he doesnt say anything but gets a good look to confirm her identity, then moves away from the door and quickly rushes off down the corridor, off camera with a serious look on his face
scene cuts back to katherine who's now sleepy and about to finally close her eyes and turn over to rest
she gets comfortable and begins to sleep but then is suddenly woken up by a loud window smash followed by an alarm and guards screaming
guard 1: ALERT ALL GUARDS IN THE CASTLE! THERE'S BEEN AN INTRUSION!
guard 2: AN ASSASSINATION HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED ON THE KING! WARN THE KINGDOM!!
kat - What!?
rhys tiredly turns over - Hmhmm... what's going on?...
before cat can say anything, 2 guards enter their room and scream
guard 1: YOU THERE! THERE'S BEEN AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON THE KING!
guard 2: WE MUST LEAVE NOW!!
Kat - What!? Oh my god!
rhys gets out of bed and starts getting dressed (putting his socks on)
rhys - wait hold on lemme just get...
guard 2: WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!!
Kat and rhys rush down the hallss following the guards, rhys half dressed in just his socks (one half pulled up while the other sagging down) and his shorts, and messy bed head while he carries the other clothes in his arms, kat carrying her shoes
they rush past parront and squiral, parront clutching his chest badly wounded while kat stops and notices him, grabbing rhys by the arm to hault him then runs up to them
kat - wait, hold up... Parront!
parront: ughh... ugghhh...
kat - what happened here
parront: man... that kid packs a punch.
squiral - someone tried to murder the king while our guard was down.
rhys - Oh no!
paarront - yeah... I would of had him... if he hasn't caught me off guard like that...
hippoloid while searching for them amongst the chaos rushes in to join them
hippoloid - There you are, I've been looking all over!
kat - Hippoloid! Did you know!?
hippoloid - Where is he?
Squiral - He's in the throne room, go speak to him, quickly hippoloid.
hippoloid (to kat and rhys) - Stay here.
he rushes off to the throne room amongst the panic but kat nods at rhys to go follow after him
in the room the king lays mortally wounded, clutching a bloody wound to the chest while besides him lays a broken window the culprit escaped from.
hippoloid - your majesty!
hippoking - Ugh! my boy! I may not make it...
hippoloid - Stay strong your majesty, tell me who did this?
hippoking - we're... in grave danger hippoloid. The culprit was a human... clearly working for Untitled. He knows we're here. Our people must be evacuated now.
hippoloid - everyone is being evacuated. We must get you to safety.
hippoking grabs hippoloid by the collar
hippoking - Hippoloid... listen to me! The girl! Make sure she stays safe with you. If her presence here is known there is no telling what Untitled will do to get to her.
medical guards escort the king out by lifting him by his surfboard body.
hippoking - keep her safe, hippoloid...
Hippoloid - I give my word. (turns to them standing behind him) Come, we need to leave this place NOW!
kat - But the king
hippoloid - There's no more time. We need to leave.
he grabs her by the arm and pushes her out of the throne room but as he's looking back, notices a detonation timer on the wall ticking down...
hippoloid - ... ...Oh my god! IT'S A BOMB!!
Rhys: What!?
Scene cuts to them all rushing outside the castle as it explodes behind them! people running back and forth in panic and hippoloid, kat and rhys being flung to the ground.
they look on at the flaming wreckage in shock, barely avoiding being hit by falling debris. hippoloid completely shocked and worried about who may still be inside
Squiral and powchow help them up (squiral helps up hippoloid as he sheds a tear, powchow heling up rhys, still barely half dressed and lying in the dirt)
squiral - come on!
powchow - we've got to get out of here!
hippoloid - ...its all gone. It's really ...all gone.
scene cuts to further back where flu is standing over, watching the flaming castle and people panic, he's then joined from out of the shadows by leon who walks in behind him, flu barely turns his head to achnoledge him
flu - hmph, not bad for your first assignment I suppose. I'm suprised a bloody thirsty killer like you wouldn't rather be down there and join in on all of the exitement.
leon - Change of plans I'm afraid. The girl Untitled is looking for. She was among them.
flu turns his head more sideways for a brief second, pauses then looks back.
flu - Hmm, I'll let him know...
leon - No! I will.
leon then walks off.
flu - ...*hmph*
flu then follows after him as the camera pans over to the panic and chaos amongst the burning fortress.
next scene
the next day
kat, rhys and the gang are hiding out in the resistance's underground bunker (from their first scene)
rhys (with one sock pulled up) is tying his shoelaces and dusting off his sock before pulling it back down, kat is really tired from lack of sleep and flexing her arms while yawning
hippoloid is on a small communication device (like a wireless headset) trying to communicate with his other outposts
hippoloid - and you're absolutely certain they made it out ok? ....keep me posted of any change in the situation. ...Thank you.
Gets off the line with them
squiral - Any news?
hippoloid - They fortunately managed to get everyone out safely before the bomb went off. They've escorted the king and Wilton to the medical outpost in the Kappa mountains, along with all the others who were injured during the crisis.
I need to get back in touch with Palmzinc. We don't have any other leads to go by.
powchow - you're leaving now?
squiral - we're completely defenceless, out in the open and without leadership, Hippoloid!
hippoloid - All the more reason to go now! Katherine, Rhys. Will you join me on this mission?
Kat - Defiately
Rhys - yeah, sure. (both say at same time)
hippoloid - Alright. Keep my communication relays online. Report back to me with any news whatsoever. We may need to rally every single shred of support we can if we're to make any stand now against Untitled's army.
squiral - I will do. Good luck to all three of you.
Hippoloid (as he leaves) - stay safe!
-stage 8: Marble mountains- music: from another point of view
you play this stage as hippoloid with kat and rhys following you
during the start of the stage there is some follow up conversation about the situation at hand
in the stage you go from fields to rocky mountains, creasent shaped caves, rocky passes with crumbling bolders, forests in the sky and tropical lake farms
(almost a cross between the pikes peaks stage from dirt 1 and the china stage from dirt 2)
hippoloid - There isn't a doubt in my mind, if Untitled wasn't so pre-occupied with invading the Earth, he would of sent every single force under his command to wipe us all out!
next scene
untitled is in one of his ships, looking over monitors of all of the carnage he's created over devon, england so far
the door opens behind him and leon walks in, acconpanied by flu
untitled - I trust the mission was a success?
leon - I did what was required of me.
Untitled (turns around to congratulate leon) - Excellent Leon, How many members of their resistance managed to survive?
leon - The girl from the human world you're searching for, she was among them in the castle.
Untitled - WHAT!? Impossible!? You're sure of it?
leon - I'm not mistaken.
untitled pauses for a moment to think
untitled - Send out all of my avalible units and sattalite cameras in the region. I want to track this child's every move.
leon nods before walking off, flu unfolding his arms and following besides him
untitled - So... trying to bring the fight to me are you, you old fool... (reffering to the king) I don't know how you could of possibly done it, but You've saved me all the trouble in the world of finding the child who took down two of my strongest minions.
Now we shall finally see what she's really capable of...
-stage 9: Azura hills- - song: is she the reason - destinys child
another stage as hippoloid with rhys and kat following you
you're running through hills, meadows and farmlands through an azure like mountain, up steep rocky paths with a flowing stream below, across an incredibly high bridge, riding through an insane waterfall ride that goes through cave like tunnels and out into a lake, following it upstream and through a forest/jungle to palmzinc's outpost
when they get to the outpost, rhys and kat catch their breath as they're both soaking wet due to the lake
hippoloid calls out for palmzinc
hippoloid - Palmzinc! Are you here!?
The door of the outpost opens up and out of it climbs a giant palmtree with shades, too big to fit through the door otherwise
palmzinc - Hippoloid, mon, it's been a long time...
hippoloid - I'm glad to see your doing well, my friend
kat and rhys look at them completely puzzled by the fact that hippoloid is talking to a giant talking palmtree
palmzinc - you know coming over here by yourself was dangerous, you could of exposed us all, mon.
hippoloid - The situation is dire. There's been an assasination attempt on the king.
palmzinc - The King!?
Hippoloid - a bomb was planted in the fort, we're completely defenceless and exposed. Untitled has been fully aware of our location the entire time!
palmzinc - Right man, and you need information on what he's planning next?
hippoloid - as much as we possibly can. We need EVERY shred of help we can if we have any chance of surviving another attack. There's no doubt in my mind if he wasn't already pre-occupied with invading their world (points to kat and rhys) he would of already wiped us out by now.
palmzinc - richous. I've been keeping my eyes and ears out just like you said. Haven't found anything that can be used against him, all we know is that he's building a new base deep in the Sienna mountains. The place isn't well guarded mon, it could be your only lead to finding out what he's planning next.
Hippoloid - Then thats exactly where we shall go. Stay safe, Palmzinc.
palmzinc - richous, richous. keep an eye out for trouble.
Hippoloid signals kat and rhys to follow as he runs off in the same direction they came in and they follow after him.
-stage 10: Sienna Mountains- - song: let me get this right: neyo or the tropical jungle song about rain
another stage with hippoloid leading the way
you go through muddy swamps during a rainfall, slide down a large mountain landslide area, through a not so heavily guarded factory base and make your way across paths surrounded by water to climb a large scale mountain with a base under construction.
during the stage there are conversations with kat asking hippoloid: shouldn't we be contacting squiral about this before we make out next move?
etc
next scene
kat, rhys and hippoloid are running through the empty, seemingly abandoned base until they get to a computer control room
as soon as they get there, hippoloid activates the computer and starts to search its database for any useful information on untitleds plans
hippoloid - fingers crossed this isn't a complete waste of time.
rhys - Hey, do you think its really safe to even be here right now? I mean, it was a little 'too easy' to just waltz into this place, don't you think?
hippoloid - I know its an insane risk, but we don't have any other leads to go by. This computer may be our only shot at knowing what untitled is up to.
just then a mysterious figure (hippochelsea) from off camera, plows himself directly into hippoloid, elbows him in the back, grabs his head and slams it against the computers keyboard several times, then as hippoloid turns himself around to grab him, he headbutts hippoloid and throws him, flying into the computers monitor screen.
rhys - Oh my god!
kat - hippoloid!!
untitled - It's about time you were finally put in your place, miserable vermin. Though I must thank you all the same for bringing them here for me.
Untitled is in the room behind hippochelsea (hippoloids arch rival) joined by both flu and leon
rhys - Oh!...
kat - Its you!
untitled - It's a pleasure to finally meet you at last. Allow me to introduce myself. My...
kat - I know exactly who you are! And what you've done.
rhys - leave out planet alone!!
Untitled - Hmph. Word travels fast I see. Flu and Leon will test your skill and endurance. We shall see if you're worthy to join my ranks.
flu and leon walk infront of untitled ready for battle, leon has a huge smirk on his face and flu flexes his neck muscles, ready for battle
kat - Join you!?! After what you've done!? I'd rather die!
leon - Don't worry, that was my intention.
kat and rhys get ready for battle but hippoloid, still wounded, presses a button on his voice communicator to open up a portal back to earth infront of them
hippoloid - Go! ...get out of here!
kat - No! I'm not going to run from this!
hippoloid - You're not strong enough to fight them all! Rhys, take katherine and go!
Untitled - Ahh, so that's how you're able to move about so quickly. I must say I'll be impressed once it's in my posession. (to hippochelsea) ...take him!
hippochelsea flexes his muscles and gets ready to give hippoloid a pounding
the three enemies closing in on our heroes as they nervously await battle, but rhys grabs katherine by the arm and yanks her through the portal, hippoloid quickly shutting it behind them before hippochelsea grabs him by the collar
hippochelsea - Open it!
hippoloid - ...never!
hippochelsea punches hippoloid in the face twice and then throws him to the ground by untitleds feet, almost knocking the tyrant over.
untitled (to hippochelsea) - You fool! Grab the device and go after them! I want them both captured Alive!
hippoloud coughs at untitleds feet
untitled looks down on him and kicks him in the face, before stomping down hard on his throat, choking him.
untitled - You may still be useful to me, though I dare say I need much of a reason to keep you alive. In exchange for your well being you will help me wipe out your pathetic resistance and anyone else on this planet who still dares to oppose me. Do you understand, boy?
hippoloid chokes and coughs, completely brused and bloody under untitleds foot.
next scene
katherine and rhys go flying throuhg the portal in the middle of a road at dawn in the outskirts of dersley, england, they both tumble onto the concrete and look around their surroundings startled.
(throughout this conversation they're both lying on the middle of the road on top of each other, arguing)
Kat - Rhys! Why did you do that!?
rhys - Its what hippoloid would of wanted!
kat - You absolute coward! We could of ended this! We could of ended it all!!
rhys - No! We need to stay alive, Katherine! Someone needs to stay alive!
Kat looks at him really pent up and fustrated with almost a tear in her eye
kat - ...you always were a coward.
rhys - Oh so trying to save your life makes me a coward does it!?
kat - by running away, yes! Yes it does.
rhys - tch! All you've ever done is run, katherine. You run around like life's just one big game to you and you couldn't care less about the consiquences. You call me a coward? I call you selfish!
kat - Me!? Selfish!? All I've ever done is look out for you!!
rhys - Oh sure! Little 'kid brother' Rhys. never had any friends, has to be protected by a girl his whole life. Yeah he always needed looking after. As long as you get to play hero and I just shut up and go along with it. Thats how it's always been katherine!
kat - ...well if you want out.
rhys - Oh like it even matters now! face it, the world is doomed! We're all screwed, either way!
a pause of silence between them as a lorry deliverying cargo is coming down the road infront of them and beeps its horn twice, they notice it and rhys pulls katherine so they both roll out of the way.
kat stands up and brushes herself off
kat - well... a lot of good we're going to do just standing here.
rhys - you have a plan?
kat - sure I do. We need to get back to exeter and find Benjamin bear. He's the only other person on earth who even knows how to open up a portal back to hippoloids world.
rhys picks himself up, brushes himself off and sighs
rhys - well... it's as good a plan as any I suppose. lead the way.
kat smirks at him - as long as I still get to play 'hero', sure.
rhys shakes his head and cracks a smirk :/ face.
this starts the next stage
-stage 11: dursley road-
as katherine with rhys following you, run through the town of dursley during dawn
next scene
outside of Bristol, 10.30am
Katherine and Rhys are standing on the road on the outskirts of Bristol, overlooking the chaos and carnage as Untitleds ships invade the city.
in the distance you can hear riots, bombing and panic and the two of them stand over, watching the chaos.
rhys - Man, This really is everywhere isn't it? It's starting to feel like we're just powerless to stop it all from happening...
kat, ignoring his doubts, pats rhys on the shoulder and smiles
kat - So how about it rhys, feel like taking point?
rhys looks at her sternly and nods, and the two of them race to the city centre together
-Stage 12: Bristol City Centre-
As Rhys with Kat following you, you run through the outskirts of bristol, past the bridge, through the marina and into the city centre, fighting off untitleds minions and taking down a huge battleship before making your way to the town centre where the stage ends
next scene
kat and rhys are in the city centre, surrounded and overwhelmed by untitleds minions
rhys - well, we're here. Now what?
kat - It never occured to me that the train stations would be out of service. Guess my plan kinda went out the window.
rhys - we probably should've stuck to the main roads.
kat - true!
an enemy dives at katherine, she lifts it over her head and throws it over her shoulders, another tries to grab rhys but he fights it off
they fight off a few more enemies before continuing the conversation
rhys - so, do you have another plan to get us out of here?
kat - I was kinda hoping you would have one to be honest.
the fight some more enenmies
rhys - maybe we should just bail?
kat - right
kat punches an enemy
then the two of them run off
-stage 13: Bristol railway-
as kat with rhys following you, you run through the town centre, to the national rail station, through the station, run along the track to the suburbs and outskirts of the city while its under attack, back onto the motorway and run all the way to exeter, devon
(obviously this route won't be 100% realistic, as the real route from Bristol to Exeter would stretch on for miles)
next scene
they get to exeter completelely out of breath as the city as military fighter jets fly over their head to join the battle against untitleds battleships. the city is filled with alien like technology (similar to the towers from SRIV) and untitleds flying minions fighting off fighter jets and planes
kat - *pant pant pant* we made it...
rhys - I can't believe we actually ran clear across the whole country like that.
kat - Well... you always said cross-country jogging was too slow and boring for you...
rhys - *pant pant pant* not what I had in mind, Kat.
kat - Come on. We gotta get to Bens office before the whole place is evacuated.
they both run off down the street
scene then cuts to them outside bens office banging on the door as its locked and abandoned
kat *bang bang bang* Ben! Ben! Ben! ...nothing.
rhys - Are we too late?
kat - ...damn! That was our only option, unless we can find Ben we've got no way of getting back!
rhys leans against a parked car.
rhys - so that's really it??
kat - ...looks that way. *bangs on the door some more then kicks it in fustration*
kat then sits down on the ground then sulks.
they both just sit there in awkward silence, not having a clue what else to do.
kat - Rhys, I've got nothing...
rhys - you have his phone number right? a mobile in case of any emergency?
kat - no... but my dad does.
she immediately gets up and runs towards her house
rhys follows after her
scene cuts to them rushing towards katherines house, she reaches inside of her skirt for the house keys with her tounge sticking out P: and opens the front door, rushes into the kitchen pantry area for her dads phone book, rhys follows in and closes the door behind her
kat flicks through the addresses on a wooden adress card wheel
kat - lets see... ben... ben... bear... no... nothing.
kat rushes around aimlessly trying to find her dads mobile phone, panics in fustration that she hasn't a clue where it is, rushes upstairs to his room and genually tears the house apart trying to find it while rhys just stands in the landing watching her
to his left he notices on the table counter, next to a glass bowl full of decrative marbles is a business card belonging to benjamin bear
rhys - is this it?
kat immediately pokes her head from the landing to see what rhys discovered, but the moment is immediately cut short by a gigantic explosion that happens right outside their front door that almost blows an entire hole through her house and sends them both flying along with half the furnature
(the explosion was due to one of untitleds battleships firing huge powerful lasers above katherines house to defend itself from attacking military planes)
this explosion causes rhys to fall and lose the card in his hand, which then becomes buried under a huge pile of rubble as the entire 1st floor of katherines hallway collapes due to stress and blocks the landing
rhys - Oh no!
Kat - Are you ok??
Rhys - Ugh, It went under there!
another explosion sends them both flying off their feet into the debris as katherines front door goes flying off its hinges towards them and all of the windows on the front side of the house shatter due to the shockwaves
rhys - We've gotta get out of here!
kat - but the card!
rhys - its too late Katherine!
they both run out the front door as millitary fighter jets manage to bring down the battleship that was causing all those explosions as it sets fire and creates a HUGE explosion right infront of them, filling the sky with a blinding white flash before it sets aflame and falls to the ground
kat and rhys just standing in horror witnissing it happening right outside their doorstep
rhys tries to yank katherines arm but she just stands there in horror
rhys - Come on!
kat *almost about to shed a tear* you son of a bitch... (to untitled for destroying her town)
rhys - We've got to go! ...Come -On!-
rhys tugs harder on katherines arm and they both run off, racing towards their local park, not having a clue where else to go
they get there and to their utter suprise, find parront, squiral and powchow trying to fight off untitleds minions in the park, after being surrounded and ambushed by them for a good while prior
kat - I don't believe it!
rhys - That can't be...
kat and rhys rush up to them
kat - Squiral!
Rhys - Powchow! Parront!
parront - Hey! It's about time you two showed up!
Powchow - We came here trying to find you!
kat - But how did you know where we'd be!?
Squiral - We figured when you wern't with Hippoloid this was the place where we could find you, we didn't realise just how extensive the damage to your town has been until we saw it firsthand.
kat - How is he? Is he safe?
powchow looks down and sulks
parront - its looking pretty bad, kid. Untitleds got him...
squiral - and as leader of our resistance we're worried Untitled could learn everything from him. Even our technology to open portals into other worlds.
Rhys - Hippoloid wouldn't let that happen. He'd never squeal!
Parront - Mind control, kid. Hippoloid doesn't need to squeal. Once Untitleds got him under his spell, it's all over for all of us.
powchow - thats why we need you!
squiral - would you come back to our world with us and help us find a way to rescue him?
Katherine nods to squiral
kat - Just lead the way.
camera pans out to the 5 of them raising their fists in the air as they unite then we cut to the next scene
On Untitleds ship...
Hipploid is in a cold, empty laboratory, bruised and bloody, chained with his arms and legs apart to a wall
the doors to the lab open as the rex guard on the other side stands and salutes as untitled walks in
hippoloid tries to resist and struggles to escape but untitled pulls out a syringe from a box from under the table, fills it with aqua/green syrum from a beaker and attempts to inject hippoloid with it to make him talk
hippoloid - ...no!
hippoloid shakes his head and body, trying to resist but untitled harshly grabs his head against the wall so he can inject the syrum into his neck.
Untitled - I've used this drug on a lot of your captured breatherin to make them talk, but so far, all of them have fustrated me with the useless information they gave. I'm hoping you'll prove yourself to be more useful.
hippoloid coughs and spits out some of the green fluid from his mouth
untitled - now talk! Where did you send the girl?
hippoloid - *cough* *cough* ...no.
Untitled harhsly grabs hippoloids head and quickly slams it up against the wall violently, then using his psychic abilities sends powerful shockswaves directly into hippoloids brain.
hippoloid - AHH..AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!
Untitled - Tell me! Where Did you send ...The Girl!
hippoloid - *pant* *cough cough* *pant* ...you already know where she lives... *pant* *cough*
Untitled shocks him again as hippoloid grips his teeth to try and endure the pain (he doesnt remove his hand from hippoloids head btw)
untitled - I know even a worthless grub such as yourself wouldn't be stupid enough to send them to a place where I could find them so easily, now TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!
shocks him again
Hippoloid - ...Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!!!! I... *pant* I... *pant* will never tell you anything...! *voice trembling* *cough*
just then, a leon prototype robot followed by the two rex soldiers standing guard by the door enter the room in a hurry
leon prototype - My lord! We have found the two humans. They were spotted at the heart of the invasion, accompanied by 3 creatures from this world.
untitled - ...on screen.
a monitor appears before untitled from the ceiling, and shows capured imagery of katherine and rhys talking with parront, squiral and powchow from the scene prior
hippoloid - no!...
Untitled - Hmph, it appears that your friends are more useful to me than you are. Undoubtably they will bring her back here to me. Prepare the ship for Departure. (as he walks out of the room he points back at hippoloid) And turn that 'thing' into a foot-soldier.
leon prototyoe - Sir.
they leave the room, leaving hippoloid poisoned and chained up to the wall, he can do nothing but hang his head and sob at the situation.
hippoloid - *sob* uhh..huu..huu.. *sniff* uhh..huu..huu..huu.. (struggling to breath and trying to hold back tears)
next scene
back on planet terra...
katherine, rhys, squiral, parront and powchow arrive through the portal to a large towering city in the sky, throughout the city are tubes of flowing water (waterslides), flying hovercars and untitleds battleships dominating the city with floodlights
they're standing on a rooftop of a building and kat immediately runs out to the ledge in amazement over the surrounding scenery.
kat - Woah. I've never seen this part of your world before! I didn't even realise you guys had cities like ours, but this is Amazing.
Rhys joins her to see the view and rests his hand on her back (for balance/support)
rhys - woah...
squiral - Most all of our resistance allies have already been taken captive by Untitleds forces. It's no longer safe for us to go there so we had to bring you somewhere where Untitled couldn't possibly be planning an ambush to capture you.
parront - We're meeting with palmzinc outside of the Imperial Square gardens, irritating thing is it's over a dozen miles past the city.
powchow - awww, I'm already exhausted thinking about it.
Kat looks at parront and smiles
kat - Well what are we waiting for?
with that she leaps off the rooftop and the cutscene ends triggering the next stage
-stage 14: Sky Cydopolis-
As katherine, you're travelling through a huge futuristic metropolis city filled with waterslides, untitleds flying battleships and hover cars
rhys, squiral, parront and powchow follow you
there are untitleds troops on the city streets armed with guns who occupy the city as the civilians live in fear of their occupation
next scene
on the outskirts of the city...
The group now just outside the sky city's limits, are standing on a giant glass platform before the gates of a huge glass hedgemaze garden
squiral - we're on the right track, the Imperial gardens are just beyond this glass hedgemaze.
rhys - hedgemaze?
parront - Gah, I can't stand this place.
powchow - obviously, you wouldn't.
kat - well if the whole place is made of glass then it shouldn't be too hard to crack through, right?
squiral - that's just our very concern...
kat - huh?
parront - the whole place has been rigged to blow by the monks who keep this place running ever since Untitled started invading our planet. They figured they'd stop him in his tracks if he ever tried to reach their temple by blowing the maze up from under him. Suppose they were in for a bigger shock when they realised all of his ships travel by air.
squiral - fortunately it never came to that and the imperial palace remains untouched and abandoned. However, this place is still primed and ready to detonate so we need to tread carefully.
rhys - man... that's a LONG way to fall if the glass ever comes apart under us...
kat - right... slow and steady it is then. Lead the way. (to the group, although rhys is the one taking point in this stage)
-stage 15: Glass maze gardens-
as rhys, you're exploring an old glass temple hedgemaze in the sky, having to use your soccer ball to activate switches to open doors and solve colour activated puzzles, all of this ends suddenly when a switch pressed wrong causes the glass to break apart and explosions to trigger, and you're then running for your life through glass path tunnels, temple caves, gliding over strong air currents and avoiding deadly fire breathing statues
--------------------------------------------------
Planned scene notes for Katherine and Hippoloid 2
In k&H 2 there's a scene early on where katherine and rhys are out at a resturant together in exeter and the resturant sells unique dishes
they both notice "hot soapy watermelon" on the menu and ask about it, the effeminite waiter is like "Omg you've never had hot soapy watermelon before!? you have no idea what your missing" so they both decide to order it
only before they get a chance to try it their evening is interrupted either because hippoloid shows up and they're forced to leave early, much to katehrines embarresment or they're attacked by Untitled's minions.
later on in the game rhys reminises to katherine "y'know, we never did get a chance to try that hot soapy watermelon"
and this later becomes a reccuring joke throughout the series
- make the waiter james jamerson from k&H 4, so he can be later introduced in the series as alex mccartneys boyfriend
in an earlier scene rhys and katherine are hanging out at the school track field benches having a conversation about life, college and their past adventure.
rhys: Hey y'know, I'm really thinking of doing track next year.
kat: Oh really?
rhys: yeah. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to get a few extra carriculum under my belt before college.
kat: hey if you can manage time for both track, football and schoolwork then go for it.
rhys: I could probably manage. You've been doing track for years now. It can't be that hard, right?
kat: for me? Nah. For me it just comes second nature. I run circles around these guys with my eyes shut.
rhys: Heh. I'm actually suprised your not an olympic gold medalist yet. I can't imagine anyone with more energy than you.
kat: heh? yeah neither can my dad. he's really strict about me being commited to a sport, seeing as how I'm clearly never gonna be a doctor or a lawyer.
rhys: we saved the world from an alien invasion. how many doctors out there can add that to their CV?
kat: heh? It's not really the kinda thing you'd want written all over your CV, unless you wanna be treated like a total freakshow.
rhys: ha-ha, yeah. So have you even thought about where you plan on going to college yet?
kat: ugh! My dad is set on me going to oxford, but I'm not really keen on it. Feels more like its his decision than my own. What about you?
rhys: Ehhh, my sisters insist I go to leeds but my mums not really bothered either way. My dad emails me from abroad and says manchester's still my best bet if I really wanna make it as a professional footballer someday.
kat: wow, so we're really going to be in seperate parts of the country, huh?...
rhys pauses and silently shrugs his shoulders, not wanting to get too emotional over the thought
rhys: guess we never really did think about how we were going to stay in contact after school is over...
kat: ...well, its not like we HAVE to go to college.
Rhys: heh, what?
Kat: Sure. Just think about it. I'll be a stay at home welfare mom. You can get a job washing dishes in a hotel somewhere. We'll live in a 4 bedroom tower block flat and have 5 kids we mooch child support on.
Rhys: haha, are you serious?
Kat: Why not? We each do the lottery every week, we're bound to win the jackpot eventually right?
Rhys: Oh, right! haha. Alright, so what will our kids names be?
kat: Catelin, Carl, katie, Ken and Barbie. Barbie's adopted because we wanted a strawberry blonde to upset the balance a little.
Rhys: Oh, Right! Of course!
kat: It's all about the feng-shuey, dude! We gotta have a blonde haired kid in the house for good luck, that's how we'll win the lottery alright.
rhys: if you sat so katherine.
kat: We'll raise her like rapunzel. keep her in the house all day and refuse to let her cut her hair.
Rhys: then why call her barbie if you want her to be like rapunzel?
kat: Duh? What's the point in calling our 4th kid Ken if we can't have a 5th named barbie?
rhys: ...well, what if they're all girls?
kat: ... we could always raise one of them transgender? Call her ken and don't even let on that she's a girl.
rhys (laughing): OK! Now you've officially taken it too far again!
kat: ahaha...
kat folds her arms behind her head and lies back on the benches, rhys then joins her.
rhys: *sigh* still though... it's hard to believe either one of us leading a regular life after the adventure we had last year. Do you often think about Hippoloid and the other guys?
kat: Definately...
rhys: Do you think we'll ever meet them again sometime?
kat: honestly, I'm counting on it. To be honest I was going stir crazy with boredom until the day the invasion happened. Life's just too mundane for someone like me, y'know?
rhys: Oh come on! Like hanging out with me isn't fun enough for ya?
kat: yeah it can be, ...when you're able to keep up with me that is.
rhys: pfft. girl I'll race you anytime anywhere.
kat sits up
kat: oh, really? You wanna put your money where your mouth is?
Rhys: Dude, I could race you around this playing field all day.
kat: Pfft, forget the field, Rhys. I'll race you all the way to the airport and back.
rhys: I'd race you all across london and back!
kat: No, I'm serious! last one to the airport then back to exeter cathedral has to buy me dinner. Hint, hint, its you. *points at him*
rhys: Oh, bring it on!
kat: its your time to shine, champ! *gives him the finger gun gester*
the both of them get up and race off, running through the school field and diving over the fence out into the road, ending the cutscene and either starting a stage or a following cutscene
