[Regect breathes heavily.]
Wakafante
Yeah, that’s how you make it.
Captain Dantes Von Dirt
Oh cool!
Wakafante
It’s pretty cool-- Oh, hello Regect!
Captain Dantes Von Dirt
Hello!
Regect
[Rushed] Not now!
[Regect slams open the door and runs outside.]
Wakafante
Oh, okay.
Captain Dantes Von Dirt
Kind of rude.
Regect
Okay, okay, where are they? I- I- I gotta find them! I don’t know- Fuck.
[A heart beats louder and louder.]
Regect
Okay. Ze?! Moe?! [Out of breath] Oh my god, please don’t be too late.
[Regect breathes heavily as a distorted creaking plays.]
MEANWHILE
[Prime Simulacrum laughs as their clones rush Ze.]
Ze
Fucking-! Go-! Away! Ah- How many of them are there?! Jesus Christ! [Panting]
Maturin
Don’t worry Ze, I think they’re- I think they’re gone now, I think you’re good.
Ze
Okay, I think they’re- they’re done now. At least-
[Ze is teleported into a bedrock hallway.]
Ze
[Annoyed] Of course fucking not.
Prime Simulacrum
Surprise!
Ze
God--!
Prime Simulacrum
Surprise!
Ze
Uh.
Prime Simulacrum
Surpr--
Ze
What?
Prime Simulacrum
Did you guys--
Maturin
I think they might be stupid.
Ze
[Sigh] Okay. Uh. They’re dumb. That’s good to know. Oh-!
Ze
Oh, the door! Finally--
Maturin
Oh, door, yeah. We can use it to get out.
Maturin
Dude, it just disappeared. Well, that sucks. Looks like you’re going to have to find another way out.
[Glitching as Ze’s skin flickers to a more realistic representation.]
Maturin
Maybe there’s another door around you can use, Ze, or you can... I don’t know.
[Ze grunts as he breaks through the bedrock.]
Maturin
Oh. I guess that works too. I- I don’t know. You got out. That’s cool.
Ze
It’s just- Okay. I need to- Where am I?! I just need to find a way out of here, quick, okay? I need to find Moe, I don’t know where [Audio glitches] she-e-e-e--
[Moe finds herself in a forest surrounded by void. Creepy ambience plays as she approaches a chest surrounded by orange flowers.]
[Inside the chest is a book and quill. Moe opens it but it is empty.]
Moe’s Friend
Moe?
[Pause as Moe slowly turns around.]
Moe’s Friend
It really is you! I- I missed you!
Moe
[Distressed honks]
Moe
[Sad, quiet honks]
Moe’s Friend
Hey, hey, it’s alright. We’re still friends, Moe. I’m still here!
Moe’s Friend
Or... [Tone darkens] At least I would be.
Moe
[Distressed honks]
Moe’s Friend
I’d still be here if you were just [Voice glitches] a little more careful, Moe.
Moe
[Distressed honks]
Moe’s Friend
Don’t you see? It’s your fault! All your fault--
[With a glitch, Moe’s Friend changes into a burnt figure and the forest is now ablaze. Glitching, distorted voices chant “all your fault” at Moe.]
Moe
[Panicked honks]
[The voices begin to chant “I found you” as the Eyes appear.]
[Prime Simulacrum laughs.]
Ze
They’re still following us! How do they know where we are, what the hell?! Where even are they?! They- They’re following us somehow- I don’t know, I-
Maturin
Well, where are they?!
Ze
Wait a second.
[Ze checks his inventory. Prime Simulacrum is inside.]
Prime Simulacrum
Haha. They’ll never find me here. This is the best hiding spot.
...Why’d he stop moving? Wait, what’s going on--
Ze
Found you, dickhead! Now you’re- you’re done! I’m gonna kill you!
Prime Simulacrum
Okay, okay, you got me, you got me. ...Hey, look, what’s over there?! Just look! Just look behind you! No, there’s something there, look!
[The moment Ze turns around there is a loud clatter. He turns around to find Prime Simulacrum flat on the ground.]
Prime Simulacrum
I was trying to run away when you weren’t looking.
Ze
There’s a wall there, dumbass.
Ze
Yeah. You know what, I- I think I’m just going to leave you. I’m gonna let you live. I’m just- I’m gonna go find my friend. She’s somewhere around here. I’m just gonna go, man.
Prime Simulacrum
Oh- Oh my god. Ow. Owww... Oh- I’m such an idiot, oh my god! I just ran right into it!
[Moe slowly inches down a torch-lined bedrock hallway. The Eyes begin to speak through flashes of static with on-screen text.]
The Eyes
TIMES UP MOE
ONLY ONE WAY TO ATONE
JOIN THEM
[Muffled thuds snap Moe out of her trance.]
Ze
[Muffled yells] How many fucking hallways are there?! What the hell?!
[Panting] MOE! Oh, Moe! You’re alive! Holy shit! You’re- [Relieved stammering] Oh my god, okay, that doesn’t matter. Okay. We’re fine. Moe, it’s time to go, come on.
[Moe silently moves to stand in the corner.]
Ze
Moe? Moe! Moe, what are you doing?!
Oh my god- Come on! Moe, look, I get it. This all sucks but we can’t do that right now, okay?
[Frustrated] Come on, you can’t just mope right now, okay?! Y- You need to toughen up and--
[Sad piano music plays.]
Ze
[Whispered] Oh my god... Oh my god, I sound just like-- Moe, I’m sorry. Moe- [Frustrated groan]
Moenella. I don’t know what- what’s going on, okay? But- Look, I know I don’t seem like it but I- I notice a lot about you and Regect, okay, and I can tell when-
You guys are hiding something, okay? I- I know Regect is hiding something, and I’m starting to assume you are too, but- Look, whatever it is, I- I want to help you get through it, alright? I don’t like fighting battles alone, so if we team up, all three of us, we can get through it, okay? I know it’s- I’m asking a lot, but will you do that for me?
And you know, if- if you’re scared, then we’ll do it scared, alright?
Moe
[Honks]
Ze
Cool... Alright, Moe, let’s go find Regect. That Vincent Van Gogh painting looking fuck.
Moe
[Laughter]
Ze
[Shocked] Was that you?! Did you- What-
Moe
[Honks]
Ze
Okay, alright, I won’t tell anyone. [Snicker] Just, come on, let’s go.
15 minutes later
[Ze blasts out of the ground.]
Ze
WOOOOO!
[Ze lands in the lake with a splash.]
Ze
[Pained coughs] Ow... Oww... Oh...
Ze
Alright, Moe, I hope Regect’s okay. We’ve been gone for a bit so let’s see if--
Ze
What the fuck are you-?! Dude! Regect! What the hell is- What are you doing?! Dude, chill! C- Calm! Calm-! Wh- What’s the word? I don’t even know what- Stop!
Regect
[Glitching and yelling] I’m going to kill EVERYONE! If something happened to them I’m going to kill them all! EVERYONE’S GOING TO FUCKING DIE!! GRAHHH!! OH!! AH!!! EVERYONE WILL PAY! AH! AHH!!
Regect
My bad, guys, I didn’t see you were standing there, sorry.
Ze
Okay, look, Regect. I trust you, I don’t hate you, you’re my friend, but you- I know you know something so you need to come clean. What’s going on?
Regect
[Sigh] Well, I guess I should tell you the truth. Back a long time ago, there was someone named--
[Pig the Pig from Barnyard’s Viewer Mail segment pops up with goofy music.]
Pig the Pig
Hey folks, Viewer Mail time again! Oh, here’s one from SallyH14. [Clears throat]
“Dear Pig, aren’t you interrupting a story at the most suspenseful part?” Well, the answer is yes, Sally, yes I am.
Keep those cards and letters coming!
Regect
Yep. That’s the story about how I lost my best friend and became basically a defect.
[Ze gestures to a neon figure built behind him.]
Ze
Okay, but what did that have to do with it? That had no-
Regect
[Reversed speech] Along with Blockbound, I’ll be in another Roblox game! Isn’t that cool? I hope you reverse this because I kinda wasted my time if you didn’t. So, you know. Really hope you get around to reversing it and stuff, so, yeah.
Ze
You know what- [Sigh] Whatever. Just come on. Let’s go inside. What is wrong with--
Regect
[Miserable] So, um... I’m guessing you guys hate me now, right?
Ze
Hm... Do you still work for the Daemon?
Regect
No?
Ze
Are you ever planning on going back?
Regect
No! Never, ever!
[Ze punches Regect.]
Regect
OW!
Ze
Alright, no, we don’t hate you, man.
Moe
[Honks]
Regect
R- Really?! But- But I kept secrets from you guys! I- I basically lied!
Ze
Yep, you did, but... A little birdy once told me, you don’t need to be perfect to inspire someone. You just need to-- ...What did you say?
Regect
You can inspire people with your imperfections. That’s what I said.
Ze
Oh, fuck. I forgot. I literally forgot. I was going to repeat it and it was going to be real cool, but I-
Regect
Oh. Oh, yeah! That would’ve been cool. Yeah.
Stick Guy
Well, well, well... If it isn’t Ze and the Regects. Hey, Ze! You’re a fucking--
[CENSORED]
-stupid, honestly, you piece of–
[CENSORED]
[Stick Guy is now stuck in an item frame.]
Stick Guy
Spineless jackass.
Ze
Okay, as I was saying before I was- What the hell is-
Ze
Oh my god. I- I’m sorry. No, dude, I- You saw-! M- Maturin! Dude! Wh- Why-?!
Maturin
You stupid asshole! You left me in the Down Under! I- I fell out your pocket! No, you know what? I- I’m messing up this whole house! This whole bitch is gonna go down!
Ze
[Hushed] I’ll let him deal with that. Yeah. We’ll just-- Should I go up there? I dunno-
Regect
Hey hey hey hey hey! Don’t mess with my ZZ Top albums! Wait wait wait wait! Dude, what the hell is your problem?! Stop! You jerk, stop- No, you touched it! Dude that’s- Don’t touch that! I’ll kill you--
Maturin
I’m don’t care. I’m going upstairs and I’m just ruining everything. Look at me- Don’t even try to stop me. Don’t even try to stop me! I’m already doing it! Im’ already doing it! I’m already doing it--
Somewhere below
Prime Simulacrum
Dammit! How?! He’s just a- human! He’s a moron! A stubborn imbecile!
The Eyes (Daemon)
Failure...
Prime Simulacrum
Yeah, exactly, a failure! Oh. Oh, you’re talking about me, aren’t you.
The Eyes (Daemon)
QUIET!
Prime Simulacrum
Yes, sir- I mean- Lord. Lord Daemon. I’m sorry.
The Eyes (Daemon)
[Panting] You failed a simple task!
Prime Simulacrum
N- No! No! I mean, yes, but it wasn’t-
The Eyes (Daemon)
Yes is ALL I needed to hear!
Prime Simulacrum
P- Please, Lord Daemon, you don’t understand! He might’ve... Broke out?
The Eyes (Daemon)
...Huh?
Prime Simulacrum
He- He just... I don’t know, he broke out of the Down Under?
The Eyes (Daemon)
What?!
Prime Simulacrum
And he may have gotten the other one out too?
The Eyes (Daemon)
WHAT?!
[With a glitch, The Eyes appear closer.]
Prime Simulacrum
And he’s probably going to tell the defect about us too, and they’re probably going to make a plan to infiltrate the Down Under and find a way to kill you and stop all the operations of the Down Under?
The Eyes (Daemon)
[Enraged] WHAT?!
Prime Simulacrum
Yeah, I think that’s about it.
The Eyes (Daemon)
That... That- That- That- FUCK!
[The Eyes scream and everything glitches violently.]
The Eyes (Daemon)
[Shaky breaths]
Prime Simulacrum
So... Am I rejected?
The Eyes (Daemon)
No.
Prime Simulacrum
Wait-
The Eyes (Daemon)
I am sending you after them. All of them! And if you fail me again... You will be...
Prime Simulacrum
Obliterated?
The Eyes (Daemon)
Ripped apart. Turned into a useless mess! Just like him!
Prime Simulacrum
Damn... I- I mean. Yes. Yes, Lord Daemon.
The Eyes (Daemon)
Good. Now get out of my sight.
