The Good, The Bad and The Infinite (Page 2)

Scene 5

Johnny is unconscious on the ground being frisked by the Zamneses Brothers.

Patchang: Yeah, don’t think he’s got it.

Gogo: Yeah.

Patchang: Hey where’d you loose your cloak?

Gogo: Must have lost it during the jump.

Patchang: Anyway got to go to the emperor.

Gogo: And give him the one we got.

Zamneses Brothers time jump out.

Johnny wakes up.

Johnny: I remember how to time jump!

Johnny time jumps out.

Scene 6

Emperor Vladimir sitting at his empirical table, Zoltan time jumps in.

Vladimir: You’re late.

Zoltan: It’s unfortunate but time travel takes time.

Vladimir: Indeed. Do you have it?

Zoltan: Right here.

Vladimir: Well then let’s have it.

Zoltan: I want more money.

Vladimir: I’m not willing to go into negotiations.

Zoltan: Good then cause I’m not here to negotiate.

Zoltan knifes Emperor Vladimir.

Zoltan time jumps out.

Zamneses Brothers time jump in.

Gogo: It appears our services are no longer required.

Patchang: Yeah, I wonder who knocked off the old man?

Gogo: No idea.

Patchang: Well, I guess before we decide what we want to do with him, what we want to do with ourselves, we better get the old man out of here.

Gogo: Yeah, good idea.

Zamneses Brothers carry Emperor Vladimir out of the room.

Patchang: Gees that guy was heavy.

Gogo: Well that’s what you get when you rule and empire.

Patchang: As the guys dead we may as well look around here, he’s not going to be able to pay us but maybe we’ll be able to steal something.

Gogo: Yeah, we should be able to.

Patchang: Hey, have a look at this. So now that he’s dead we’re out of a job. What do you think we should do?

Gogo: I figure we go freelance.

Patchang: There’s probably meant to be a bit of money in there.

Gogo: Yeah.

Johnny time jumps in.

Johnny: Oh, oh hey, hey, hey sit down. Friends? Friends.

Gogo: Friends?

Johnny: Friends.

Patchang: You’re that guy from the last jump we met you were on the ground last time I saw you.

Johnny: Ah, yes. Well I still seem to have a few tricks up my sleeve. About that thing you got from me before.

Patchang: We didn’t get it other guy got it.

Johnny: That’s right. Do you know where it is?

Patchang: Can’t help you there.

Johnny: Happens to be very important to me.

Patchang: Well we got nothing to do with it, emperor’s dead now.

Johnny: Well, you’ve got everything to do with it. The whole universe is at stake here.

Patchang: Not our problem. We just want to go off and make some money. We don’t worry about the more important things in life unless it’s got to do with the dollar.

Johnny: Right. Well what about the important things of survival? Does that come to mind?

Patchang: What do you mean?

Johnny: This thing, its three parts really. You’ve got that one you nearly took off.

Patchang: Yep.

Johnny: That other one and there is another one. Three. They make up the Infinite Power Source. The most destructive, most infinite power source the universe has ever seen. Now it might sound funny but believe me.

Patchang: So tell me more.

Johnny: Yes, well making up these a human can create anything, the power of healing, the power of destruction and that emperor you served wanted to get them for destruction obviously. I mean he was evil.

Patchang: He paid well.

Johnny: Paid well for the destruction of you, and you?

Patchang: What do you want from us?

Johnny: I want to know who killed the emperor.

Patchang: Well we don’t really know. He was gone before we got here we just found the emperor’s body.

Gogo: Probably jumped though.

Johnny: Do you know how to trace him.

Patchang: There’s probably sensors in this room that would be linked to this, the emperor’s computer. I could probably find it.

Johnny: Ok.

Patchang: Yep, yes one of the assassins, one of the guys tracking guys like you jumped out about fifteen minutes ago, went to the Alpha Section.

Johnny: Ok. Thank you for your hospitality.

Johnny time jumps out.

Patchang: You know this Infinite Power Source is all its cracked up to be, we have one part, it might be profitable for us to try and get the others.

Gogo: It would be.

Zamneses Brothers time jump out.
