PROJECT: DJED sus

By Joaquin Mays, Skyler Hill, Clive Witiw, Ronan Harris

*it begins with a test chamber opening after the intro*

*an ederic clone aka crayon falls out*
Crayon: *cough cough* What the- Woah!

*he trips*

Skyler: Ah yes, it finally worked. Kind of. Look you’re the first kind of good clone but we need this perfect so yeah, move out of the way.

*skyler pushes crayon out of the way*

Crayon: Clone? But…I’m Ederic.

Skyler: Hm? Oh, I guess you could work for now. Yeah just go make me lunch.
*crayon leaves*
Crayon: Wait…why am I running his errands? I’m just gonna leave.

*crayon leaves*
Nash: Hey! Our slave is leaving!
Crayon: Uh oh, gotta run a little faster.
*crayon runs away*
Crayon: Hey, there’s someone here!

*crayon walks over to the real ederic*

Real Ederic: Oh hey there. Why do you kind of look like me?
Crayon: Frankly, I don’t know myself.

Real Ederic: There um…there’s something behind you.

*crayon looks behind him and sees 2 more actually really accurate ederics running towards them*

Crayon: Oh crap!

*crayon runs and hides*
Real Ederic: Woah! More people that look like me! Well, I should tell the others about this weird forest. There seem to be monsters in here still. Maybe Izzy could execute the Siren-looking one.

*as real ederic walks away, a clone tackles him and ties him up*
Real Ederic: Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!

Clone Ederic 1 (griffin voice actor): Ha! We got him! Who’s going home first?

Clone Ederic 2 (Crayon voice actor): You should, I’ll go when they say for me too.

Crayon: *gasps and whispers* Oh my god…they’re trying to replace him.

Clone Ederic 1 (griffin): Alright, take care of the real one, I’ll head home. Do I look good?

Clone Ederic 2 (crayon): Yep! See ya!
*Clone Ederic 1 leaves*

Real Ederic: Can you let me go? I got a gig tomorrow and I really don’t want to miss it.

*it pans to the big 7 house*
Clone Ederic 1 (griffin): Hey guys I found out that this forest is really weird. It has a siren head thing in it.
Kaden: OH SHOOT!

Joaquin: Yeah, nobody really cares though.
*joaquin turns on the tv*
*it pans outside the big 7 house and the siren head audio plays from the beginning*

Real Ederic: No! They don’t know what they’re getting into!

Clone Ederic 2 (crayon): They will soon.
*he takes real ederic back to base*

*it goes back to the boa base*
Ronan: So…did you capture him?

Clone Ederic 2 (crayon): You bet I did!
*he throws real ederic on the desk*
Ronan: Perfect. SKYLER!

*skyler runs over and hits a bunch of walls as well*

Skyler: What is it?

Ronan: They got em’.

Skyler: Ok, now that we finished Siren Head, we’re good. By the way, I came up with this new idea! I’ll tell you later.
Real Ederic: Let me go!

Skyler: Nah man. We need you and the other clones for valuable information on those 6.
Real Ederic: Well, it looks like you won’t need much. Like, if you have a literal clone of me, doesn’t he have all the information?

Skyler: No. Now shut up.

Real Ederic: Well you’re not getting anything out of me!

Skyler: We figured you’d say that. Ronan! Clive! Hook him up to the- um…lightning thing.

Real Ederic: What?!

*clive and ronan take him*

*Real Ederic screams*

*it cuts to the present day*

Clone Ederic 2: Hold up, I have to take this call.

*clone ederic 2 runs behind the TV*

Justin: Wait…did he actually escape?!

Izzy: Yeah! I don’t know how either!

Clone Ederic: Yes, I have the information. We like, have way too much information. 

*joaquin sneaks up on clone ederic 2 but stops when he starts talking*

Clone Ederic 2: Yeah, I’ll come back to base and give you the information I have received.

*joaquin stands up all the way and starts digging through his pockets*
Clone Ederic 2: Has the real one revealed anything?

*joaquin gets even more upset, and loads a shotgun*

Clone Ederic 2: Yeah we’re good, everyone just didn’t realize anything. So gullible.

*joaquin almost finished putting together the shotgun*

Clone Ederic 2: I’ll return to base shortly. We have all the information we need.
*joaquin holds it up against clone ederics head and clone ederic hears the gun cock*

*joaquin fires the gun as it pans to the front of the tv, and then clone ederic 2s head rolls out from behind*

Justin: Holy crap dude! What the heck?!

Joaquin: It was a fake!

Izzy: What do you mean?! You just killed Ederic!

*clone ederics phone keeps on buzzing and joaquin turns on the speaker*
Skyler on phone: Hello? Do we need to send in another one? Why did I hear a bang?

*joaquin puts the phone on mute*

Joaquin: Do you see what I mean?

*the door bursts open with a new clone*
Clone Ederic 3: Hi! I’m baaaaaooooooh. Crap.

*joaquin charges the shotgun and shoots clone ederic 3*

Izzy: How was Ederic right there?! You shot him!

Justin: Because they’re…clones. They are clones!

Emma: So where’s the real one?

Alexis: How are we supposed to know?

Joaquin: Can we think of any times he went out for a long time? Or when he started acting differently at any point?

Justin: After we tossed out Trollge he went for a hike, and when he came back his voice sounded weird.

Emma: And also when he went out to investigate that forest.

Izzy: Maybe we could look around the forest to start.

Alexis: Sounds good to me.

Joaquin: Justin and I went out last time, how about Izzy and Emma go this time instead?

Emma: Yeah I agree with that.

Izzy: Just because I want to show you I’m better at getting information than you are, I’ll go.
Justin: Shut up and walk out the door.

Emma: Alright Izzy, let’s go.

*they get in the car*

*emma drives*
Izzy: Man I wish Chucks had a drive-through.

Emma: Make a quick order in there, it should take like 5 minutes max. I’ll wait here.
Izzy: Alright!

*izzy quickly runs in and a few seconds later she comes back out*

Izzy: He kicked me out.

Emma: Wha- Why?!

Izzy: He thought I was gonna rob the place!
Emma: Then let’s go to Little Caesars!

Izzy: Oh yeah those workers don’t care if I rob that place, and the pizzas are always ready.

*emma drives fast and parks perfectly by drifting*

*izzy gets out and a few seconds later comes back out with the pizza*

Emma: Alright let’s bounce!

*izzy gets in the car and emma drives off*

Izzy: So we’re going to the Cryptid Forest first, right?

Emma: Yeah, that’s where we should start since that’s where his voice got a little different.

Izzy: Makes sense, how much longer until we arrive?

Emma: 5 more minutes or so.

*pan back to rest of big 7*

Alexis: Alright, I am going to go get groceries, do not do anything stupid. I will be back in like an hour or 2.

Justin: Remember, get pizza rolls, kitchen knives, and Hoppers.

Alexis: Heck no! I already placed an order for Bidens!

Justin: Dude Bidens tastes like dog food, are you serious?!

Alexis: It’s cheap, and it tastes fine. Now shut up and I’ll be back.

*door slams*

Justin: *mumble* Freaking Bidens. I hate Bidens.

*justin dials a phone number*

Justin: Yeah can I get a double cheeseburger? Yeah, animal-style fries. With the special sauce. Alright, I’ll be there in 15 minutes.

Joaquin: Who’d you dial?

Justin: Oh, just an actually good restaurant.

Joaquin: Hoppers?

Justin: Ding Ding Ding!

Joaquin: Bet bro, order me a Hoppin Burger with some waffle fries.

Justin: Order it yourself.

*it pans over to boa spying on the big seven in the most 70’s animation way*

Clive: Why are we spying on them again? I want to grind out Thanos.

Skyler: Cuz they found out the fake ederics dimrod. Also, you gotta stop playing these games and work.

Clive: Nah man, I ain't gonna do it.

Jayden: *walking over to them with ronan* My face still hurts.

Ronan: Not my fault.

Jayden: Yeah it was those stupid Big 7.

Ronan: Freaking hate those guys.

Jayden: LANGUAGE!! Stupid muffin.

*ronan and jayden start fighting as boa and the big seven just look over at them*

Skyler: Those guys never get along.

Clive: It’s hilarious.

Skyler: Facts.

*big 7 walks outside next to boa and boa just look up at them*

Clive: Yo what’s good my- 

*clive gets kicked by joaquin in the side*

Skyler: Our bad.

*boa runs off*

Justin: What is up with those guys?

Joaquin: I have no idea.

*they walk back inside the big 7 house*

*pan back to izzy and emma*

Emma: Alright Izzy, we’re at The Forest.

Izzy: Alright, what are we gonna do here? I mean we have no idea if he went missing in this forest.

Emma: Well he did say “I’m gonna go check out this forest”. So this is a good place to start.

Izzy: Good point, good point.

*they look around*

Izzy: Heh. That table’s still there.

*it shows skyler, ronan, and clive spying on the big 7 again*

Skyler *whispering*: Do we have a base here?

Ronan *whispering*: We used to, I think we took it down after we built Trollge there.

Emma: Hey Izzy! I found this like…base thing?

Clive *whispering*: Nope, we did not.

Skyler *whispering*: So we just abandoned it? They’re gonna see all of our documents and stuff!

*pan back to izzy and emma*

Izzy: It’s like…some sort of chamber.

*she looks through the drawers in the base*

Izzy: Project…DJED…cloning? Relocation of the first subject?

Emma: Does it say what “First Subject” is?

Izzy: It says Subject: 0 and Subject: 0.1.

Emma: Does it say anything about Ederic himself?

Izzy: It says “Base Subject was captured.”

Emma: What about the relocation of the first subject? Does it say where?

Izzy: It says here~...

*ronan runs behind them and fires a handgun*

Izzy: Woah! Emma! Look out!!

*emma dives behind the desk and grabs a pistol with two bullets next to it*

Ronan *muttering while reloading*: Stupid…nosy idiots…never can stay still. 

*ronan walks to behind the desk*

*when ronan does this, emma tries to shoot him, but ronan does a flip back on the wall and takes the gun*

Ronan: I’m gonna give you just one warning. Leave now, and we won’t kill you both.

*emma sees a portal gun behind the desk as well*

*emma grabs it and shoots the portal above ronan and below him and he gets stuck in an infinite loop*

Ronan: Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Emma: Izzy, take the files and run!!

*emma runs out with the portal gun and an SMG*

*izzy grabs the files and runs behind emma*

Skyler: Clive! Shapeshift into a gun!

*clive shapeshifts and skyler grabs it*

*skyler tries to shoot them*
*emma runs and jumps and dodges them*

Izzy: They’re still shooting at us!

*emma grabs izzy, sets two portals, and they go through, and they are on top of a tree, and emma sets two portals on the ground to break the fall*

Skyler: THEY TOOK THE PORTAL GUN TOO?!

*clive shapeshifts back to normal*

*they run back to the base to see ronan going through a portal infinitely*

*skyler throws something to knock ronan out of the loop*

Ronan: *cough cough* They took the files too!

Skyler: What files?

Ronan: The files! The one with all the information on the clones AND Ederic!

Skyler: Son of a freaking bean. Clive, go to their house and steal the files back again after they leave to find Ederic.

Clive: Alright…should I bring it to Base-1273?

Skyler: Uhhh, yeah let’s keep it there.

Clive: Section 1 or 2 of the file storage?

Skyler: Uh, 2.

Clive: High or low?

Skyler: Just put it wherever you want!

Clive: Alright good.

*pan back to big 7 house*
*emma and izzy burst through the door*

Izzy: We got information!

Joaquin: Nice.

Izzy: And we did it without going to a burger place.

Emma: Cuz we went to a pizza place instead.

Izzy: SHHHhHHHHhhHhhhHH!

Justin: Did you get Little Caesars?

Izzy: We got Little Caesars.
Justin: Did you try going to Chucks but got kicked out because they thought you were going to rob the place?

Izzy: Yes we tried going to Chucks but got kicked out because they thought we were going to rob the place.

Justin: Dang. Did you get enough information though?

Emma: I think we did, we have a LOT of files that we stole from there. One of them showed up and tried to shoot us though.

Joaquin: Probably Ronan.

Izzy: Yeah…I think so as…well?

Justin: Who should go check it out?

Izzy: Seeing as Kaden hasn’t returned in around a week now, I’ll leave it to you and Joaquin again.

Joaquin: What?! 

Justin: Joaquin, this time we’re going directly into the fighting and saving Ederic. Last time we had to research. It won’t be boring or stupid this time.

Joaquin: Ugh, fine…but why don’t we all go? 

Justin: Yeah, last time it was just the three of us, we got destroyed. What’s the point if the same thing happens again?

Izzy: I mean, yeah, good point. I can’t really…come up with an argument. Alright, everybody come.

Justin: Wait…that actually worked?

*they go outside to the car*

*it transitions to the big 7 getting in the car*

Skyler: So they took the portal gun, and the files and they are coming to our location as of now.

Ronan: Yeah. Clive already left to retrieve the files from the house, they did leave them there.

Skyler: A lot of good that will do us! They already know everything!

Ronan: They only have a few of the files, not any of the Trollge ones.

Skyler: They only saw those weird corrupted files, not the ones where it details everything.

Jayden: Skyler! A blue van is coming!

Ronan: Shoot. Would you like me to prepare a unit to try to combat them?

Skyler: Do whatever the flick you want! As long as it helps! I’m gonna go secure the other files.

Ronan: Perfect.

*ronan radios everyone*

*nash, jayden, and kai are playing cards*

Kai: Yeah?

Ronan: Code 57, prepare your weapons to take them down.

Kai: Oh crap 57?!

*kai radios out*

Kai: GUYS 57!

Jayden: OH CRAP!

*they stumble around trying to get their weapons*

*pan back to ronan, and he is waiting for them*

Jayden: Alright we’re ready.

Ronan: Alright, they’re almost here so I’ll get them from the top, Nash get in close quarters, and Jayden and Kai stay about right here.

K, J, N: Yes sir!

*inside the blue van*

Justin: Does…anyone have any idea what the base looks like?

Izzy: Uh- no.

*back to boa*

Ronan: Alright, they are within 100 yards of the location, stand your positions.

*from here it alternates between the inside of the van and ronan*

Nash: BACK OFF!!!!

Ronan: I have a shot on target…

Emma: What the…

Ronan: Fire when it is clear...

Izzy: TURN BACK!

Justin: GET DOWN!

Ronan: NOW!

*the big 7 lay down in the car and gunshots break all the windows*

*ronan zooms in on the scope*

*ronan shoots*

Justin: AH DAMMIT! MY ARM!

Joaquin: Holy crap, holy crap!

*joaquin turns to izzy*

Izzy: DID WE BRING ANY WEAPONS?!

Joaquin: WHAT DO YOU THINK?! OF COURSE, WE DID! IT’S IN THE TRUNK!

Justin: WELL WE CAN’T GET THEM UNLESS ONE OF US WANTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE!

*the camera switches to skyler lighting a cig and going through the files to find them and hide them*

Skyler: C’mon, c’mon, c’mon…

*skyler finds them*

Skyler: *sends a quick text to clive*

*it shows clive in the big 7 house drinking sprite with sunglasses on*

*clive gets the notif*

Clive: “come back to base…big 7 are here..?!

*clive throws the sprite on the ground and runs out*

*it shows the big 7 car again*

Justin: Wait guys! Play dead!

*they all play dead*

*ronan zooms in on the scope and sees them lying on the ground faking dead*

Ronan: HOLD FIRE! The target may have been destroyed.

Jayden: I’ll go check them.

*izzy briefly glances at jayden holding his gun*

Jayden: Yep! Target destroyed. We finally did it!

*izzy kicks jayden in the knee and the gun flies out his hand and izzy catches it and shoots jayden*

Jayden: Oop, nope. At least one of them is still alive.

Ronan: WHAT?!

*izzy steals the radio and stomps on it*

Ronan: Dammit! Lost the signal.

Joaquin: *whisper* What the hell are you doing?! There are still like 3 other people!

Izzy: *dodges some shots* I know! I’m just- *dodges some shots* trying to- *dodges some shots* put up a defense!

Justin: Yeah, that’s cool and all, but where is the guy you shot 30 seconds ago?

Izzy: Huh?

*jayden is gone*
Izzy: Mother- did you bring the portal gun, Emma?

Emma: Yeah it’s in the trunk.

*izzy dives to the ground and opens the trunk. she grabs the portal gun and some more weapons for everyone else*

Joaquin: No freaking way!

*joaquin loads his gun, justin spins his knife, emma has her ray gun and alexis has her pan*

*they bust down the car doors and fight*

*justin throws his knife at ronan but it misses and ronan tries to shoot justin. emma shoots kai in the leg with the ray gun and he falls over. joaquin tries to shoot nash, but he keeps on dodging until joaquin shoots his hair spray out of his hand or throws a match into the hair spray. izzy shoots nash in the foot and kai in the hand.*

Joaquin: Now we just have to find Ederic.

Izzy: Ok so I’ll take Emma and Alexis and you take Justin.
Justin: Yeah okay.

*they split up*

*back to skyler pov*

Skyler: Where is this son of a bean…Aha!

*skyler looks at a door labeled DJED*

*skyler opens the door and finds ederic there*

Ederic: Oh look who finally showed up!

*ederic is in a block of ice except for his face*

Skyler: Shut up!

*skyler puts in a code that melts the ice*
Skyler: You’ll be out in 3 minutes. Do what you will.

Ederic: Wait really? I haven’t seen a real face in months! All I have here is a TV that plays my favorite shows and my hands are sometimes unfrozen so I can play games!

Skyler: Yeah yeah whatever…leave, never come back, pleasure having you actually. I kind of like you out of all of your stupid friends.

Ederic: Cool.

Skyler: Yeah yeah…I won’t kill you if I kill the rest of your dumb friends.

Ederic: Heheh. Nice

*skyler presses a button and in a flash, he’s out*

*footsteps are heard then the door is broken down*

Joaquin: Freeze!

Justin: Yo wait…did we find him?

Ederic: Uh…yeah.

Joaquin: How do we know it’s not a clone to throw us off?

Justin: Seriously dude? We just killed hundreds of clones. After they get hurt, the part they got hurt in just dries up.

Joaquin: Hm. Well, let’s test.

*joaquin shoots ederic in the hand*
Ederic: AAAOOWW! What the heck?!

Joaquin: Did it dry up?

Justin: Ummm…no. We’re all good.

Joaquin: Let’s go! Welcome back Ederic!

Ederic: YOU JUST SHOT ME IN THE HAND!

Joaquin: Jeez man chill out!

Justin: Here.

*justin tosses ederic some bandages*

Justin: Bandage your hand and let’s get out of here.

*they walk outside*

Ederic: Oh…you weren’t exaggerating when you said you killed hundreds of clones.

*it shows all the clone's dead bodies*

*pan to izzy emma and alexis*
*they are still killing a bunch of clones*

Izzy: Oh…my…god…

Emma: Is that…all of them?

Izzy: Yeah…

*justin joaquin and ederic walk to izzy emma and alexis*

Joaquin: Hey guys!

Izzy: You…found him?

Justin: Yeah, he was in a door labeled DJED.

Emma: Is he a clone?

Joaquin: We already tested him, he’s not a clone.

Izzy: Okay…

Ederic: Can we like…leave?

Izzy: Oh, yeah! Leaving! Let’s do that!

Ederic: Wait hol’ up.

Joaquin: What’s going on?

Ederic: I'm making sure no one is here.

*clive blows up the wall*

Nash: WHAT'S UP IDIOTS!!??

Izzy: Oh Christ.

Joaquin: Could we just take him and leave?

Clive: Nah man, we won't let you.

Ronan: Do I take the shot?

Skyler: Yeah sure whatever.

*epic fight scene that last 3 seconds before ederic just leaved but then they all get sad since ederic left so they all start searching for him*

Ederic: That was really easy, now where AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!@!@!@$!$!@#@#%

Skyler: Ratio, we got you.

Joaquin: No we did.

Ederic: What the heck?

*ederic gets shot in the leg by ronan and falls over*

Joaquin: nOOOooOOOOoooo!!!

Skyler: Nice, thanks Ronan.

Justin: What the heck is going on, why did you shoot Ederic?

Joaquin: Grab him and get him out of here!!

The other 4 except for ederic: Got it.

Skyler: You gotta be kidding me. GO STOP THEM!!

Joaquin: Dang, so it's just us now.

Skyler: ok, wanna just play some cards or something?

Joaquin: Alright.

*pans back over to the rest of boa chasing the rest of the big 7*

Clive: Give him back!!!!!

Izzy: No idiot!!

Nash: Hand him over!!

Justin: Do you really think we’re gonna just…hand him over to you after you kidnapped him for months?!
Clive: Yeah kinda!

Justin: Then you must be smooth brained!

Clive: *stops running* Wait…

*clive just grabs nash’s shirt when he passes him*
Clive: What does smooth brained mean?

Nash: It means you’re an idiot! Now let’s go catch them before they get away with our slave maker!

Clive: bro what 💀

Nash: LET ME GO DAMMIT!

*clive let’s nash go and nash falls on his face*

Clive: Come on!

Nash: Why haven’t I quit yet..?

Izzy: WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!

Emma: I think we’re nearing the Bank!

*they keep running until they reach the bank*
Justin: STEAL THAT CAR!

*izzy punches the window, throws the driver out*

Driver: Hey!

*justin stabs him and throws him towards boa as a diversion, and gets in the passenger seat*

Justin: Emma! Throw Ederic on the floor!

Emma: Uh, okay.

*emma just drops ederic on the ground*
Ederic: Ow!

Emma: Alexis, get in on the other side!

*alexis runs over and jumps in*

*emma jumps in as well and while izzy drives away, emma shoots at boa with her ray gun*

*pan back to skyler and joaquin*

Skyler: You got any um…3’s?

Joaquin: Uhh…no. Go fish.

*skyler gets a radio call on his radio*

Skyler: Yeah?

Ronan (on radio): THEY STOLE A CAR! THEY STABBED AN INNOCENT! WE LOST THEM!

Skyler: Oh. Dang.

*pan to ronan pov*
Ronan (on radio): How are we gonna cover this one up?

Skyler: I don’t know! Shove them inside the abandoned Happy Home!

Ronan (on radio): Do you even care right now?! They killed an innocent!

Skyler: Yeah big deal.

Ronan (on radio): BUT SIR!

Skyler: Byyeee.

*skyler shoots the radio*

Joaquin: Heh. Well, you got any 10s?

Skyler: DANG IT!

Joaquin: HA!

*pan back to izzy pov*

Izzy: Well Ederic, it’s good to uh. You know, have you back!

Ederic: I guess so…

*ederic sits up*
Ederic: Wait…Izzy…stop the car!

*izzy slams the breaks and they skid to a stop*

Ederic: Who is that?

*it shows in front of the car through the windshield

*zoom in*

*it’s crayon again*

Izzy: It looks like another clone!

Ederic: NO IZZY WAIT! I saw this one come into my room a couple times! He’s fine! He was cool! He is Subject 0.1.

Izzy: Really? Then you go talk to him.

*ederic gets shoved out of the car*

Ederic: Alright then.

*ederic walks up to crayon*
Ederic: Ayy, Crayon!

Crayon: No way, Ederic?

Ederic: You know it, man!

Crayon: So how’s it been?

Ederic: Good good, just got rescued by the rest of my friends.

Crayon: Ahh gotcha.

Ederic: You workin’ at Chuck's?
Crayon: Yeah! Making some good pizza!

Ederic: Sick dude. Well, I gotta bounce.

Crayon: Ah, same. I have to head back to my shift.

Ederic: See you around!

*ederic hops in the car and they drive away*
Crayon: Heh. Glad he finally escaped. BOA is probably coming after him already. I’ll take care of it soon enough.

*crayon unsheathes a sword*

Crayon: They’ll be dead before they can take a single step inside of that house.
