LAST TIME ON THE OMEGA KID: A Christmas Eve shopping trip the department store is rudely interrupted by an attack from The World's Most Evil and Smart Baby. Separated from Natalie and Jerry, Rick and Lawrence look for a safe place to plan their next move! And now, Part 2:INT. GIMBEL'S DEPARTMENT STORE - VIDEO GAME SECTION
Rick and Lawrence dash through the store. Rick leads, Lawrence hustles to keep up, huffing and puffing behind him. As they pass a display of the newest and latest games, Lawrence stops. He looks at all the games, entranced.
LAWRENCE
Awesome... I want them all...
Rick doubles back and drags him away by the elbow.
RICK
No time!
Lawrence grumbles and keeps moving.
INT. GIMBEL'S - FITTING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
The place has been abandoned in the chaos. Clothes are strewn about, like a hurricane had touched down.
The boys come crashing through the door. They look around.
LAWRENCE
Coast is clear!
Rick takes the Omega Amulet out of his pocket and closes his eyes. He concentrates. Slowly the Amulet begins to glow, then Rick himself begins glowing. Lawrence shields his eyes as the white light becomes blinding. When it dies down, Rick is still there but he's now THE OMEGA KID!
OMEGA KID
It's nap time for Alfie!
Lawrence rolls his eyes. The Omega Kid shrugs. The boys runs out of the fitting room.
INT. GIMBEL'S - SANTA CLAUS SECTION
Alfie is hovering over the terrified crowd. Natalie and Jerry look on with the rest of them.
ALFIE
Don't worry. I'm not here for any of you insignificant shoppers, caught up in your commercialized Christmas cheer. I'm here for HIM!
Alfie points at Fake Santa. Fake Santa looks around, makes sure he's really be singled out. He sighs.
Blargh jumps out of his sidecar, lumbers towards poor Fake Santa and picks him up by the collar. Fake Santa tries to break free of Blargh's grip. He fails.
FAKE SANTA
What do you want?
BLARGH
Blargh!
FAKE SANTA
What?
BLARGH
Blargh!
ALFIE
What my dimwitted but very large and very strong companion is trying to say is that we have our own Christmas wish list. We want the Omega Kid's Omega Amulet. And you will make our Christmas dreams come true, despite our naughty behavior.
FAKE SANTA
Look kid, I'm not the real Santa. I'm just a guy who was hired by the department store for a few weeks. They don't even give me insurance.
(pulling down his fake beard)
See? Not real.
BLARGH
Blargh?
Suddenly all the little children who had been waiting in line GASP! then immediately being to cry and wail. Screams of "there's no Santa Claus?" come from the crowd of kids. It's a whole new type of chaos!
One CONCERNED DAD tries to comfort his young son.
CONCERNED DAD
It's okay, Tim. That's one of Santa's helpers. The real Santa Claus is in the North Pole getting ready for tonight.
ALFIE
What's that? Bring him to me!
Blargh drops the Fake Santa, who lands on his backside but looks extremely relieve. Blargh grabs the Concerned Dad and brings him over to Alfie.
ALFIE
Tell me what you know about Claus!
CONCERNED DAD
He, uh... has a workshop. In the North Pole...
ALFIE
Of course! How could I have been so dumb!
(beat)
Not that I'm dumb.
OMEGA KID (off camera)
You are if you thought you'd get away with this!
Alfie turns around and see The Omega Kid floating behind him. The Omega Kid smiles and flies toward Alfie, ready to land a right hook!
But Blargh is surprisingly fast. He drops the Concerned Dad and grabs the Omega Kid's fist. Blargh throws the Omega Kid full force towards Santa's throne, which shatters as he crashes into it.
The crowd gasps: "OH NO!"
Blargh runs towards the wreckage, ready to do more damage but the Omega Kid comes flying out and rams into him full force. They go flying through the store, through shelves of clothes and toys before finally slamming into a large, plastic Christmas tree.
Unfortunately, Blargh is only momentarily stunned and The Omega Kid is wrapped up in Christmas tree lights. Blargh picks him up by the string of lights, swings him around and around before sending him flying back the way they came.
The crowd runs out of the way as The Omega Kid crashes into what remains of Santa's Village.
Things look bleak but Lawrences comes rushing through the crowd, out of breath as usual. He grabs one end of the string of lights.
LAWRENCE
Spin, dude! Spin!
The Omega Kid spins super fast, untangling himself.
OMEGA KID
Uh... thanks innocent bystander I've never met before in my life.
The Omega Kid grabs the string of lights and flies towards Blargh, who is bracing for another impact.
Instead the Omega Kid dodges Blargh and starting flying around him, tying him up in the Christmas lights. Blargh looks more confused than concerned.
ALFIE
You think that will hold my monster? I laugh at you! Ha!
OMEGA KID
Not Christmas lights but... Christmas chains!
As he finishes wrapping up Blargh, the Omega Amulet glows and the string of Christmas lights morph into heavy duty steel chains, colored red and green. Blargh struggles to get out but he can't!
The Omega Kid picks up the monster and tosses him at Alfie! Alfie deflty manuevers himself out of the way and swings the sidecar around, so Blargh lands in it.
ALFIE
You may think you have won, Omega Kid but I know where Claus is! Let's go, Blargh. To the North Pole!
Alfie's flies himself and Blargh out the hole in the department store wall and ZOOMS AWAYS into the sky.
OMEGA KID
Good riddence!
EXT. GIMBEL'S DEPARTMENT STORE - LATER
All the customers are filing out of the store, which has shut down early because of the attack. Natalie comes rushing out, followed by Jerry. She's looking through the crowd, worried. Rick and Lawrence come running up to her.
NATALIE
Thank goodness you boys are safe!
She gives Rick a big hug and kiss. He's a little embarassed.
RICK
No big deal, mom. I hid in the fitting room.
NATALIE
I think we should all go home.
JERRY
Natalie, you're shook up. Why don't you let me take the boys back to my place. I got some Christmas presents for them. My grandniece, Dania, will get the home safe.
NATALIE
Are you sure?
JERRY
Of course. They're
(biting his tongue)
never a hassle.
NATALIE
You're too kind, Mr. Irvine.
Natalie gives Rick another hug and kiss.
NATALIE
Love you, Rick.
RICK
Yeah, mom. Love you too.
She leaves them and heads up the block.
LAWRENCE
Dude, you got us presents? Sick!
JERRY
It's not about presents. We need to talk: the real Santa Claus is in danger.
Rick looks at Jerry, slackjawed.
RICK
Wait, say what? "The real Santa?!"
