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
For a long time now I've really been on the bench about sharing the rough, unfinished script for this project and was hoping I wouldn't have any need to share it with the world until it was ready, but as my own time is always against me, it really pains me that I've been working passionately on this project for nearly 12 whole years now on the sidelines yet have absolutely nothing worth showing for it besides unfinished concept artwork, an apartment littered with notes of concept ideas to go into the project and this script which isn't even finished.
It personally shames me to no end that I'm so passionate about my own project yet have next to nothing to actually show for it in the decade that I've been working on it so I just want to share this rough edit script of the project, if just to prove to the world its something that actually exists and I'm not just constantly yabbering on about nonsense in half of my journals.

For those of you who don't follow my blogs/journals or aren't already in the know, Katherine and Hippoloid is a series I've been working on and kept on the side throughout most of my entire life that centres around a group of British teenagers with superhuman abilities who are trying to defend their world from a hostile alien invasion let by an alien dictator bent on dominating the entire universe.
I want to make it into this really unique, story driven action adventure series that centres around using both surreal and real world environments as stages that you traverse and explore in a really unique and stylish way.
I won't go into too much detail here, but I plan to hopefully make this into a 4 part series with a potential 5th entry on the side and even 6th if things go well.
My personal goal as of right now is just to have the games script and story finished and presentable in full, design all the concept art for every single character and possibly turn the series into an online web comic or even an online animated series, just so I have the series out in the public's eye in some physical form or another until I can gather the resources I need to actually create this into the video game series I always envisioned it to be.

But anyway, for those who are interested in this, I wanted to share a huge chunk of the rough script in draft so you can really get a feel for the story and the characters in this world I'm trying to create.
The script is completely rough, I haven't gone through and corrected any spelling typos, grammar or anything of the sort. I just wanted to my ideas out in the open if just to satisfy my own personal fears of my PC one day dying on me or even worse, God forbid, myself, and this just becoming lost with it.

But anyway, what I'm about to share covers a good chunk of the story from the 1st entry in the series and also share a scene or two from the planned sequel that's already been written up to go with it.
This all still being worked on as I post it and nothing is finalised or set in stone yet so there could still be plenty of changes made along the way.
I would love to hear feedback if you have any you'd be interested in sharing.
I apologise again for all of the spelling and grammar errors you'll likely find throughout this script as I often when I write, I type fast using notepad just to get all of my ideas out there on screen so I can compile them properly later on.
I hope you enjoy reading through it nonetheless.
