LAST TIME ON THE OMEGA KID: Rick and Lawrence learned the secret history of Santa Claus. With Alfie, aka The World's Most Evil & Smart Baby, on his way to the North Pole, The Omega Kid and friends must decide on their next move! And now Part 4:INT. JERRY'S APARTMENT
DANIA
No. You're staying here with us.
LAWRENCE
I'm not missing my chance to meet Santa Claus. Imagine all the presents we'll get if we save him!
JERRY
What a lovely way to look at it.
LAWRENCE
Tell 'em, Rick.
RICK
It will be safer here.
Lawrence looks at all three of them. They look back. He furrows his brow and stands his ground.
LAWRENCE
I'm going and that's that.
EXT. MANHATTAN - CLOUDS ABOVE - NIGHT
Up here in the clouds, the city looks peaceful. It's perfectly silent and serene.
LAWRENCE (O.C.)
Whooooooo-hooooo!!!! Yeeeeeahh!
Rick, now changed into The Omega Kid, burst through a cloud, flying at top speed. Hold onto his back is Lawrence. While Lawrence smiles and hollers uncontrollably, The Omega Kid looks less than thrilled.
OMEGA KID
You're not going to do this the whole way, are you?
LAWRENCE
Probably. Waaaaaaaah!!!!
The Omega Kid frowns as they fly off.
EXT. NORTH POLE - NIGHT
It hasn't changed much since 321AD. An icy, barren landscape. Nothing but snow and darkness.
The silence is disturbed by the rumbling sound of an engine. Slowly a craft that looks like a cross between a small plane and a sleigh descends from the sky. When it lands we see the pilot is Alfie, sitting in a car seat. He's all bundled up for the cold. In the seat beside him is Blargh, whose fur keeps him plenty warm.
ALFIE
The North Pole, at last!
Blargh gets out of the sleigh. From the back seat he takes the flying baby walker, unstraps Alfie from the car seats and helps him into it. Alfie presses a button on the walker's control panel and a little screen pops up.
ALFIE
If my calculations are correct, the workshop must be right beneath us. Blargh, let's make an entrance.
Blargh begins pounding on the icy ground. It cracks and give way. Finally a fissure opens up to reveal an icy staircase. It leads deep underground.
ALFIE
The fat man's jig is up!
Alfie flips another switch on his walker and headlights turn on. He leads the way down the stairs, Blargh follows.
INT. NORTH POLE SANCTUARY - MOMENTS LATER
Alfie and Blarge reach the bottom of the stairs. It opens into a crystal sanctuary. In fact it greatly resembles Santa's Village from the department store, only made of beautiful crystals.
Two things draw our immediate attention: a display case inside of which we see what appears to be Saint Nicholas' red robes and stocking cap, well preserved through the centuries. And then there's what looks like a crystal throne. Resting on the seat is the ball of energy we saw before. Only smaller.
ALFIE
Jackpot, Blargh! The readings are off the charts!
Alfie approaches the throne. He looks down at this little screen and checks the readings.
ALFIE
Fascinating. It's like this little ball of energy is made of pure light. And this throne appears to be a capacitor of sorts.
The ball of energy begins to grow, ever slightly.
ALFIE
Of course! As we approach Christmas the energy seems to increase. When it reaches a critical point the conductor releases it. That must be when Claus comes out. To keep him as our prisoner we'll need to increase the size of the capacitor. Any ideas, Blargh?
Alfie turns around. Blargh has opened the display case. He's wearing Saint Nicholas' robes and stocking cap, only they're way too small for him.
BLARGH
Blargh?
EXT. NORTH POLE - CONTINUOUS
The Omega Kid and Lawrence swoop down from the sky, landing beside's Alfie's sleigh and the opening in the ground.
OMEGA KID
Looks like they're hear already.
Lawrence has wasted no time climbing into Alfie's sleigh. He's poking around at the controls.
OMEGA KID
Be careful!
LAWRENCE
Careful? The controls look like Nintendo designed them. A baby can figure this thing out. Which I guess makes sense.
(beat)
What with Alfie being a baby.
OMEGA KID
Let's go.
Lawrence hops out of the sleigh and looks down the staircase. He pats The Omega Kid on the shoulder.
LAWRENCE
Superheroes first.
INT. NORTH POLE SANCTUARY - MOMENTS LATER
Alfie is chastising Blargh.
ALFIE
Take that ridiculous outfit off!
Blargh looks upset as he takes it off and hands it to Alfie who angrily tosses them aside.
The robes and cap land by the end of the staircase, right as The Omega Kid's foot reaches the last step. Alfie and Blargh are too busy checking out the throne to notice.
OMEGA KID
(whispering)
Stay back. Don't get involved.
The Omega Kid walks into the santuary. Lawrence picks up Saint Nicholas' robes and actually listens, hanging back.
ALFIE
I need to figure something out before Christmas or it'll be too late.
OMEGA KID
It's already too late!
Alfie turns around, once again taken by surprise.
ALFIE
Always you! Maybe if you had more clever one liners, though, it would be less annoying.
OMEGA KID
Everyone's a critic.
Blargh gets ready to go into battle with the Omega Kid.
ALFIE
No, Blargh! Get the throne, it's small enough for you to move it!
Blargh changes direction and heads for the throne. The Omega Kid launches himself towards Blargh, bodychecking the huge monster. Blargh slips on the ice, away from the throne and slams into the ice walls of the sanctuary.
OMEGA KID
Clever baby. But I'm smarter. I can just make it bigger.
The Omega Kid puts one hand on the throne and the other on the icy floor of the cave. The Omega Amulet begins to glow. The throne and the icy floor morph. He's using the ice on the ground to make the throne bigger! It doubles in size!
ALFIE
Thanks for that, Kid! Blargh!
Blargh grabs The Omega Kid from behind and tosses him away from the throne. Alfie presses another button on his walker's control panel. From the back of his seat a compartment opens and out come the red and green Christmas chains the Omega Kid made to capture Blargh earlier. Alfie flies around the dazed Omega Kid, tying him up. The Omega Kid is helpless!
ALFIE
Too easy! Your hands can't reach the chains and you made them too strong for even you to break. And now that the capacitor throne is twice the size, it will take twice the energy to free Claus! Ha!
LAWRENCE (O.C.)
No!
Alfie turns to see Lawrence by the staircase.
ALFIE
Get him!
Blargh runs and Alfie flies towards Lawrence, who's already high tailing it up the stairs.
EXT. NORTH POLE - CONTINUOUS
Lawrences reaches the top of the stairs, out of breath but doesn't stop. He jumps into Alfie's sleigh and fires it up.
LAWRENCE
Who says video games don't teach you anything useful?
Blargh and Alfie reach the top of the stairscase in time to see him fly off.
ALFIE
Blast! But no matter, we have the Omega Kid and we have Claus. There's nothing he can do now. We win!
