Transcript
Zarkhon: I am alive?

Zarkhon: I thought I was dead after I tried to capture the Crimson Stone from that fennec, but the fennec attacked me very well.

Zarkhon: And that somehow leaves me alive, and with one of my arms looking like...this….as a side effect. [Zarkhon looks at his arm that got hurt.]

[Suddenly, a glowing red portal opens up in front Zarkhon, and a voice calls through.]

Vertigo: (Speaking through the portal) Zarkhon! Can you hear me? I been waiting for you to bring that Crimson Stone, but I have located you in the Lymph Space Square! I’ve created this gateway back to the planet, and will send a Vert Bliss escort for you once you arrive.

Zarkhon: Vertigo?! I’ve tried my best, I couldn’t speak to you in time, the war only just ended, correct?

Vertigo: (Speaking through the portal) It has been roughly two years since you disappeared, and my empire’s hold over the planet was broken.

Zarkhon: I have been asleep in this void for two years?

Vertigo: (Speaking through the portal) This will not work out without us having one train-of-thought! We have to find a way for me to get control over the world, and I think you might be just what we need to turn the tide of battle! And together, we will make Fortune and all of his weak friends suffer.

Zarkhon: [Grins] The ultimate job for the ultimate mercenary. I accept.

[He steps through the gateway.]

[''The scene changes to a zone (Springhill Zone, specifically.) at night. Melody the Rabbit is seen picking berries from a bush while humming to herself. Suddenly, the gateway opens in the sky, sending a bright beam of red light down. Frightened, Melody gasps and runs away, and the beam of light is revealed to be Zarkhon.'']

Zarkhon: Hmph. I was hoping this planet would have improved in my two-year absence. Same as ever. Too much peace and not enough chaos.

[''A green-colored Vert Bliss arrives. Melody the Rabbit is seen watching from behind a bush.'']

Vertigo: (Remotely speaking through the Vert Bliss) Oh ho ho! If chaos is what you want, just wait and see how the rest of the world has changed in your absence! Follow this recon Vert Bliss to my hidden base in Springhill Valley, and I’ll get you up to speed on everything you mis- [Vertigo notices Zarkhom’s left arm, which is still in the appearance of being hurt.] Zarkhon, what happened to your arm?!

Zarkhon: I do not know. It does not appear to be lethal. Perhaps it will serve some purpose.

Vertigo: (Remotely speaking through the Vert Bliss) Hm....well, I’ll have to run some research on it. You can tell me more about it when you’re inside.

[The ''Vert Bliss raises its right arm, and a hidden door opens on the side of a nearby rock. They both enter. Curious, and having no knowledge of Zarkhon, Melody follows them in without them noticing. Soon after, the door closes leaving Melody trapped inside. The inside of the base is coated with metallic walls, and several of Vertigo’s robots can be seen in storage. A giant monitor of Vertigo is attached to the wall.'']

Zarkhon: Alright Vertigo, I’m here. Tell me of the events of the last two years.

Vertigo: (Speaking remotely from his monitor) I’ll be glad to. The sooner we can get you back in the action, the sooner we can rebuild the Vertigo Empire and fulfil our true purpose: Destroying Fortune the Fennec.

[''Vertigo laughs manically, and Zarkhon grins. Melody the Rabbit is seen hiding behind a stack of crates, terrified, and trying to avoid being seen by the robots operating the base. The scene fades to black, and the Theme Song starts.'']

[Fortune is seen running toward the Prestique HQ ''in a hurry. He arrives at the HQ and sees the mother of Melody running while being frightened toward Fortune.'']

Melody’s Mother: [the Mother is speaking to Fortune while trying to catch her breath.] Oh, Fortune, I am so happy you have arrived, Melody is missing, I haven’t seen her since last night! [The mother turns back at Taylor and her arm raises up toward Taylor the rabbit as he turns and looks back at his mom.] Taylor couldn’t even locate her on the ComPress.

Taylor: [Taylor flies toward Fortune and the Mother with his two ears] Mom’s right; the ComPress is not showing the loca- [Taylor pauses his sentence as he sees the Mother and Fortune look up to the Main Room as they are hearing the alarm coming from it]

[''The Mother and Fortune runs toward the Main Room in a hurry. They arrive at the ComPress and they are seeing an alert appearing on its screen'']

ComPress: (Alarm continually ringing)

Fortune: [Fortune presses a key on the ComPress’ keyboard, and the alarm stops] Something… Something is headed this way.

Melody’s Mother: [The Mother is seen looking out of the window] And it seems it already arrived.

[There appears to be a ship flying in the sky (Vertigo’s Airship, specifically.) and leaving a huge shadow on the city]
