CHARACTERS: Sunuru, ProtoMan, Bakura, Kayon
PREVIOUSLY: The Cyberus got lucky, and ended up winning the approval of Mom and Dad. Now, all eight of them are living peacefully with Sunuru and Keyki--yes they have to follow rules--but that's a small price to pay when they get themselves a whole new home with two kids who truly adore them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROTOMAN: Sunuru, wadda ya doin'?
SUNURU: Playing on my computer. This is my favorite game in the world--wanna watch me?
PROTOMAN: I hope you haven't forgotten the Cyberus, Sunuru. Keep your eyes out for danger. You never know what might happen when that window is closed...
SUNURU: I didn't close the window giving me access to the Computer World, ProtoMan. It's just behind my game. Oh, and don't worry--the sound is off on all the games I play. I want to be able to hear the Cyberus just in case one needs--
VOICE: HELP!!
PROTOMAN: Stop yer yappin', and save that girl in there, Sunuru!
SUNURU: Geez, Proto... Okay, fine.
(Opens the Cyberu World window.)
PROTOMAN: There she is! Poor little girl--that Kayon in there's gonna beat er' up! It's got er' down on the ground. If it slashes her with its claws, she'll never make it!
SUNURU: ProtoMan, you have to go in and save her!
PROTOMAN: Right! FUSION!!
SUNURU: Fusion? Must be some sort of battle cry or something. Hey, there's ProtoMan--right on the screen.
KAYON: You dare interrupt our battle?
PROTOMAN: Shut up! Don't worry, little lady. I'm here to save ya'.
"LITTLE LADY": Uh... sire...
PROTOMAN: No time to chat--I've got work to do!
KAYON: You'll pay for interfering, you pest! Hi-ya!!
(Slashes at ProtoMan, but clumsily misses.)
PROTOMAN: Is that all you've got? I've seen better from my great grandmother!
KAYON: RAAAHHH!!!
(Arm turns into a giant hammer, and the Kayon attempts to hit ProtoMan... but misses again.)
PROTOMAN: I don't have time to mess with you. Time to get serious!
(Arm changes into a sword.)
SUNURU: Holy cow. ProtoMan's got good insults, AND he's powerful, too. I'm so lucky--My Cyberu friend kicks butt!
PROTOMAN: YAAAHHH!!
(Slashes at the Kayon, but DOESN'T miss!)
KAYON: Augh! OW OW OW AHH!!
(ProtoMan continuously slashes at the Kayon.)
PROTOMAN: You AND Laricou will pay for hurtin' a lady! YYAAAHHH!!
(Stabs Kayon.)
KAYON: Arrghh...
DIGITAL VOICE: Data erased...
(Kayon disappears.)
PROTOMAN: You alright, little lady?
"LITTLE LADY": I'm fine, but... sire... I'm not a lady.
PROTOMAN: Whaaa!?
"LITTLE--BOY?": Yes, I'm a male. I tried to tell you before, but you--ah--wouldn't listen. My name is Ryou, but my friends call me Bakura. It's a pleasure to meet you.
PROTOMAN: P--pleased to meet ya... Oh my gosh, YOU'RE A BOY!!
BAKURA: Ha ha ha! Yes, I am. No need to overreact. And who might this be?
(Bakura points up at Sunuru.)
SUNURU: I'm ProtoMan's friend, Sunuru. Nice to meet you, too, Bakura. I'm glad you're okay.
BAKURA: I'm fine. This happens to me more often than you'd suspect. I'm so used to getting beaten up, that it's something the Cyberus around me consider normal. In fact, I think asking for their help is practically useless now!
PROTOMAN: Then why'd ya scream for help?
BAKURA: Er--Well--ah...
SUNURU: It doesn't matter. Bakura, would you like to come and spend some time with my family for a while. You certainly wouldn't get hurt anymore.
BAKURA: Smashing! I'd love to! The question is, how will you get me out there with you?
SUNURU: It's easy. I'll get you a doll to be your new body, and you'll come out and--you know the rest.
BAKURA: I think the whole idea is brilliant. I'd love to join your family.
SUNURU: Then I'll go find a doll right now!
BAKURA: Take your time! No need to--
SUNURU: Ouch! I tripped!
BAKURA: --rush
PROTOMAN: Uh, Bakura... sorry for callin' you a girl.
BAKURA: Oh it's fine. No need to apologize.
SUNURU: I'm back!
BAKURA: My, my. That was awfully fast, Sunuru.
PROTOMAN: Hey, I've trained her. She's faster than a racecar now, Bucky.
BAKURA: B--Bucky?
SUNURU: It's a nickname. Okay, I'd better get to explaining how to escape the Computer World before more bullies come along to hurt you, Ryou. Here's how it works: I'll place the doll in front of the screen, and you transfer your data to the new body. It's really simple.
BAKURA: But--I don't know how to transfer my data.
PROTOMAN: It's easy. Just imagine yourself fusing with the doll... Go Bakura!
BAKURA: Okay. Here goes nothing!
(The moniter, again, produces a blinding light, and Bakura is freed from the Computer World.)
SUNURU: Bakura, you did it!
BAKURA: Good heavens! I did, didn't I?
PROTOMAN: My turn! DE-FUSION!!
BAKURA: Eh?
SUNURU: It must be some sorta... Actually, I have no idea why he did that.
PROTOMAN: Here I am! So, Bakura, wadda ya wanna do?
BAKURA: I know it's awfully discourteous of me, but I'd like something to drink, please.
SUNURU: It's no trouble at all. What do you want?
BAKURA: T...t...t....
(Ryou smirks wickedly, and crosses his arms.)
BAKURA: Got any whiskey?
PROTOMAN: What? Bakura, you drink alcohol?
BAKURA: You heard me.
SUNURU: Uh... Ryou, I'm only a kid. We don't have anything like that in our house.
BAKURA: Ra blast it...
PROTOMAN: B--Bakura?
BAKURA: What is it? I'd like tea, please--If you didn't hear me before.
SUNURU: Tea? What happened to whiskey?
BAKURA: What in heaven's name are you talking about, Sunuru? I think you might be coming down with something--I clearly stated that I'd like some tea, not alcohol. I'm underaged, anyway.
PROTOMAN: O..kay then...
SUNURU: Come downstairs. I'll make you a cup.
BAKURA: Alright. Lead the way.
(ProtoMan and Sunuru exchange glances, but lead Bakura out of the room anyway. They both have a feeling that Bakura might be a LITTLE bit less innocent than he appears to be...)
TO BE CONTINUED...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming up in EPISODE 4: Bakura's strange little attitude-change was just the beginning. This little Englishman is definitely not what Sunuru and ProtoMan had expected. Can the two find out the mystery of Bakura? Will Mom and Dad reconsider about the Cyberus staying at their house? Is the house going to be able to take all this chaos, or will it fall down? All these questions' answers will be revealed in Episode 4: The Dark Half of Bucky!
