Panel 1: Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, Mecha-King Ghidorah, and a masked giant gorilla are in position in a wrestling ring slapdashed from debris, with bridges as turnbuckles, power lines as ropes, that sort of thing, with Godzilla and the unnamed gorilla in one corner and Mecha-King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla in the other.
There should be identification captions identifying the combatants as:
Godzilla, Reigning King Of Monsters
King Kaiser, Mysterious Masked Monkey
Mechagodzilla, Revenge-driven Robo-Kaiju
Mecha-King Ghidorah, the Hydraulic Hydra from Hell
Inset panel: 2 commentators are looking up at the ring from a table. One, Exalted Master Thunder Mask, is an aged, spectral masked wrestler still wearing his mask, even when called by the unholy forces of The Futurians to commentate one last match. The other, Gregory Walker, is a straightlaced, besuited type.
Thunder: IN ALL MY YEARS IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, IN THIS REALM AND THE NEXT, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COLLECTION OF COMPETITORS SO FULL OF FIGHTING SPIRIT! ANY OF THESE FINE FELLOWS COULD SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTROY THIS CITY, AND, IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF WRESTLING, THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO SETTLE THEIR AFFAIRS IN THE ONLY CIVILIZED WAY!*
Caption: *Translated from the ghostly Japanese
Greg: YES, INDEED! THIS RING, CONSTRUCTED FROM THE RUINS OF TOKYO, SHALL PAY HOST TO THE GREATEST BATTLE NOT ONLY IN THE HISTORY OF WRESTLING, BUT PERHAPS EARTH ITSELF!**
Caption: **Translated from the halting half-remembered high-school Japanese
Panels 2 & 3 should be in a horizontal tier across the page.
Panel 2: The referee straddles his motorcycle on the top of a turnbuckle, tiny in comparison to the kaiju that are about to battle. He is incredibly nervous.
Ref: UH... I WANT A FAIR FIGHT HERE. NO HITS TO... WHATEVER YOU BIG THINGS MIGHT HAVE BELOW YOUR BELTS, NO FOREIGN OBJECTS, NO... INSULTING MOTHERS.***
Caption: Translated from... you get the point.
Panel 3: Back to the announcers.
Thunder: FROM HIS VANTAGE POINT, THE REFEREE WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE RING, DUE TO HIS TINY, TINY HUMAN EYES! THANKFULLY, HE HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH A SMALL PORTABLE TELEVISION THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK UP THE FEED FROM OUR CAMERA HELICOPTERS!
Greg: THAT'S RIGHT, EXALTED MASTER THUNDER MASK!
Thunder: PLEASE, JUST CALL ME THUNDER, EXALTED MASTER THUNDER MASK WAS MY FATHER! A-HA-HA-HA!
Greg: OK!
Greg: AS I WAS SAYING, WITH COMBATANTS LIKE THESE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO ADHERE TO THE RULES OF PROPER SPORTSMANSHIP!
Ryu: INDEED!
Panel 4: We see the whole ring from the viewpoint of the referee, with Godzilla and Mechagodzilla in the ring, and the unseen gorilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah in their teammates' corners.
Ref(OP): AAAAAAND...
Ref(OP): FIGHT!
SFX: DINGDINGDING!
Panel 5: Godzilla Tiger-suplexes Mechagodzilla into the mat.
(Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suplex#Tiger_suplex)
SFX: THPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTCCCHHH!
Inset panel: Announcers table. Exalted Master Thunder Mask is just flipping out, while Greg is still stunned, but just wide-eyed, slack-jawed stunned.
Ryu: AND THE MATCH BEGINS WITH A BRUTAL TIGER SUPLEX BY GODZILLA!
Yep, could not resist that closing line.
This would be fantastic for Squared Circle. Great fun!
ReplyDeleteThis script is a thing of beauty. A comic based on it would be even more so. :-D
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou know, there is actually a Neo Geo arcade game where giant monsters battle it out with wrestling moves over a city. I've got it on my arcade machine at home.
It is as fun as this script.
Beautiful. That is all.
ReplyDelete@Ben: Yes! King of The Monsters! Right?
