Clarke begins to speak, becomes voice over: "In a group of five, just five, you have two--possibly three non-human entities. One of the five is a villain, an actual criminal.

[After he says "group of five" scene changes to a conference table, Hypercube in background to the left and Supercreep visible on right--space in between. Mere Mal Faire materializes in the empty spot as the others turn to look at her. On "one of the five" closeup of Purple Twilight smiling]

FI: A backshot of a skinny frail looking scientist in his lab tinkering with several vials of liquid. FO
FI: close up of his face shows him to be clearly insane (one of the crazy looking villain faces)
He thrusts his hands into the air in a "Eureka I've done it!" gesture.
He then grabs two vials and mixes the contents but before he drinks it down he goes into... FO
FI: dream sequence of himself drinking down his concoction and suddenly there is a weird shift and his body outline spreads out in waves on either side of him (one of the costume change emotes) and POOF there are now two of him. They give each other the thumbsup and both start to spread out/shift again POOF there are now four evil scientists. POOF now eight. FO

FI: there is now a small army of cloned scientists running about committing various crimes (robbing banks, stealing purses, pummeling Statesman, throwing a barrage of snowballs at pedestrians in the middle of summer... you know truly evil stuff ) ending with a shot of all of them doing a simultaneous victory emote. FO
FI: day dream has ended and he is now just about to drink his concoction when over his shoulder a portal opens and out of it spills a mass of Rikti!
Flash to a view of a Rikti firing his pulse weapon at the scientist and him being blasted through the air. He lands in a heap and the Rikti proceed to blast everything.

The attack ends and the Rikti all retreat back through the portal except for...
The portal dissappears and as the camera sweeps across the now ruined laboratory it spots a lone Rikti monkey.
Zoom in: The monkey holds a vial of liquid in its hands and quickly drinks it down and shatters the glass on the floor. It doubles over and POOF it begins to multiply rapidly. FadeToBlack.

beat: CITY (word or part of the official logo if possible appears on a black background)
beat: OF (appears beneath it)
beat: MONKIES!
the words "Coming Soon" scroll across.
Screen goes dark for an instant and then briefly shows a scene of Atlas Park beseiged by waves of monkies. After a second or two one runs past turns to face the camera/viewer and launches himself at it/you.
Screen blackens just as it's face/teeth fill the screen.

Fade In from center, Penny Yin alone mending her father's store. Whispers are heard and she looks around for the source of the voice. Clockwork Gears are seen moving about the store, Fade Out.

Cursive text:
A girl with a great gift and new to learning how to wield it.

Clockwork robots patrol the outside of Yin's store. They then drive away a group of Lost ruffians as she directs.

The music turns dark and haunting.
Cursive text:
A great mind locked in a primitive body, a dark past hangs over him like a storm cloud.

Fade In, Sepia Tones, The Clockwork King battling Blue Steele. A fallen Clockwork army surrounds the pair. Blows are exchanged, Blue Steel strikes a final triumphant hit, the King falls slowly, Fade Out.

In Color, The Clockwork King in his hideout, minions work about him quickly and busily while he stands hunched over. There is an empty space about him to emphasize the feeling of being alone.

The music changes pace, picks up in tempo and fullness.

Suddenly, he looks up and turns around, then makes a gesture with his arm and the Clockwork minions rush away in the pointed direction.

Cursive text:
He would try to lock her away...
Back at Yin's storefront, from behind, a large shadow stretches out to cover Penny. Zoom In[/i] on Penny's wide eyed expression with a quick Wipe Out.

Cursive text:
But she... would set him- free.
Uplifting music with similar tones from the opening score.
Fast fade in from black, zooming out and away from the Clockwork King, his court assembled all around. Quick Scenes then follow of Penny with the Clockwork and/or their King of her telling tales, explaining things, laughing and looking happy. Fade Out.

Music fades.

VO: Penny: He's really quite sweet.

Cursive text:
Friendship has no boundaries.
