(So is it cheating if
this weeks script isn’t exactly about the Time Machine even if it’s a time-travel based story?)
(6 Panels)
Panel 1: An aged hero – FUTUREMAN! - out of costume,
is on a yacht. He turns to see a time bomb with only a couple seconds left on
it appearing out of a burst of chronological energy.
SFX: BtzzZZZUUUUW
SFX: beep-beep-beep
FUTUREMAN!: !
Panel 2: The yacht, as it explodes.
SFX: BOOM!
Panel 3: A recovery team goes over the wrecked,
exploded yacht – notably, FUTUREMAN’s should not be anywhere in the scene at
all.
Nearby, stands
FUTUREWOMAN, looking over the scene.
FUTUREWOMAN (1): This could have only been the work of a truly
dastardly villain!
FUTUREWOMAN (2): I
will bring the guilty party to justice! So swears Futurewoman!
Panel 4: A night scene on a rooftop, as FUTUREWOMAN
looks around.
CAPTION: Later, earlier…
FUTUREWOMAN (1): (Thought
balloon) My investigation has led me here. I must be close!
FUTUREWOMAN (2): (Thought
balloon) And yet, why do I have the strangest feeling of déjà vu?
Panel 5: FUTUREWOMAN is far in the background as he
looks to a scene happening in the foreground, where we see a version of
FUTUREMAN! in his prime as well as FUTUREGIRL, the youthful sidekick version of
FUTUREWOMAN.
Nearby, disappearing in
a display of energy that should match that from PANEL 1, is the same bomb that
appeared on the yacht in the future, including the amount of time left on it.
SFX: beep-beep-beep
SFX: BtzzZZZUUUUW
FUTUREGIRL: The bomb is about to explode! We’re almost out
of time!
FUTUREMAN!: Nonsense, Futuregirl! I’ll send it away to the
future!
Panel 6: FUTUREMAN! stands triumphant. FUTUREGIRL
less so.
FUTUREMAN! (1): One again, the day is saved, thanks to
FUTUREMAN! and FUTUREGIRL!
FUTUREGIRL: But Futureman!, where did you send the bomb?
FUTUREMAN! (2): For now, it matters not! We have plenty of
time to figure that out later.
FUTUREMAN! (3): After all, time is on our side!
