Adventures of the World’s Angriest Robot Part 6 - Born Too Slow

Page 1
Large splash panel, with the Death King raising his gigantic weapon over his head, about to strike Destroyer with it. Destroyer is still cut in half, and his face is a mix of anger, pain, and slight fear, but we should have the feeling that he has kind of made his peace with getting killed. He is yelling something, so his face can look pretty strained. Robot is leaning against the wall, watching with a kind of bemused glee. There should be a generous amount of zombie gore strewn through the room to give the idea that there has been a major battle over the last few parts.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Bring it on, you bony fuck.”

Page 2
Panels 1-3 – Death King is swinging his weapon down toward Destroyer. We see the point of view from the bottom, almost as if we, as the viewer, are staring right at the sword coming down toward us.

Panel 4 – Close-up of Destroyer’s face. He should look pretty worried; pretty much imagine how you’d feel to literally stare death in the face and know that the end was here.

Panel 5 – As the weapon meets Destroyer, it passes right through him. Death King is putting everything he has into his attack, so he should appear like he is really doing the kill stroke. Robot is giggling to himself in the corner of the room.

Page 3
Panel 1-3 – Destroyer should have his eyes closed, then open in the next panel, realizing he’s not dead. By the third panel, he should have a better idea of what has happened, but he’s still somewhat confused. He opens his mouth to express his lack of awareness of what is going on.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Care to explain what is going on?”

Panel 4 – Robot is laughing, as begins to tell us what is happening.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Welcome to the five-and-a-half minute hallway. Not only does it connect nearly every reality, but it operates by its own laws.”

Page 4
Panel 1 – Robot is pointing at Death King, who is swinging is weapon wildly and freaking out.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Since we came in three minutes before this guy, he exists three minutes before us. We can see him, he can see us. But we’re all ghosts. And now, we have a three minute head start on him.”

Panel 2 – Destroyer is yelling, angry and even more confused now.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “That doesn’t even make any sense at all, ever.”

Panel 3-4 – Robot is speaking, using his hands to illustrate his point, drawing a straight line with his fingers in the air.

WORD BALLON
Robot: “It’s simple. No matter how slow or fast you walk, this hallway always takes exactly 330 seconds to walk through. And we’re currently 180 seconds ahead of this personification of death.”

Panel 5 – Death King is screaming, incredulous at this turn of events.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “I agree, this makes absolutely no sense. But I swear, I will kill you both…”

Page 5
Panel 1 – Robot is tossing Destroyer a bottle of whiskey from the alternate dimension that he just ran through. As the bottle flies through the air, we notice it looks similar to a Jack Daniel’s bottle, but the logo is a combination of a rebel flag and a Nazi flag, with an eagle holding lightning in its hands above the flag.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Do what you do best. Drink up.”

Panel 2 – Destroyer catches the bottle. He looks pretty weak and needing a drink.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “You had to get me whiskey from an evil empire?”

Panel 3 – Robot is creating a hologram in the air with his eyes. He’s scanning the numerous realities that make up the hallway. We can read some of them:

Reality Code Difference from Prime Reality
1.20.23 Johnny Carson 38th President of United States
3.21.99 Pepsi never invented
9.88.00 Cavemen still exist
3.11.01 John Lennon survives
2.40.04 Planet X
8.77.11 Plain of Idavoll
19.20.5 Tommy Westphall’s living room

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “It was all I could find at the time. That said, it’s one of the few realities where you can find 290 proof alcohol.”

Panel 4 – Destroyer is chugging the whiskey, which is pouring all over his mask and chest. He’s making an absolute mess of things.

SFX: GLUG, GLUG, GLUG

Panel 5 – Robot selects one of the options and a door starts glowing.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Knit your spine together and let’s get the fuck out of here before asshole here shows up.”

Page 6
Panel 1 – Destroyer is holding his spinal cord together with his hands. We can see that more of his guts, for lack of a better word, have started to grow back due to the alcohol activating his super powers. This, however, is extremely painful.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “FUCK!”

Panel 2 – Destroyer looks down and notices that he has put his legs on backwards. His ass is now where his crotch should be. He looks completely infuriated.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “MAN! FUCK!”

Panel 3 – Robot almost falls over laughing, just doubled over in hysterics.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Oh, now I have seen it all. That’s the fucking topper.”

Panel 4 – Destroyer is ripping his spinal column back in half, screaming as he does it.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “You know, ARRRGRGGGGHHH, the humor here is lost on, ARGRGGGGG, me…”

Panel 5 – Robot is pointing his fingertip, which is glowing, at Destroyer. We see both of them in this panel.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Aw, man, thanks, this does need cauterized.”

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “This isn’t a laser. It’s my digital camera finger.”

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “I WILL PISS IN YOUR METAL SKULL!”

Page 7
Panel 1 – Robot is yelling back at him, but still laughing.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Can you stand up now, baby? Is your widdle spine all fixed?”

Panel 2-4 – Destroyer tries to stand up and throw a punch, but he’s still paralyzed from the waist down, as the nerves have not fully healed yet. He collapses in a pile.

Panel 5 – Robot is staring at Destroyer, lying face down on the ground.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Get your laughs now, Gort.”

Page 8
Panel 1 – Robot throws Destroyer over his shoulder, as Destroyer is yelling at him. He’s just about raving now he’s so angry.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “When these legs work again, this foot and your metal ass are gonna teleconference!”

Panel 2 – They walk right through Death King, as if he were a ghost.

Panel 3 – Death King has totally lost it, shouting threats and spewing venom.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “These are the hands that strangled Odizeun’s final gasps. And I take oath now, they will do the same to both of you.”

Panel 4 – Robot sneaks up behind Death King’s ear.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “I don’t breathe. I’m a robot. A robot who thinks you’re fucking pedantic.”

Page 9
Panel 1 – Robot opens the glowing door slightly.

Panel 2 – But instead of entering it, he enters a door further down the hallway.

Panel 3 – 180 seconds later, Death King shows up for real, not just his past time projection, in the hallway. He scans the hallway, swinging his weapon wildly, shattering doors. He sees the glowing door.

Panel 4 – Death King walks confidently through the growing door.

Page 10
A full page here, which should be a combination of the Ditko Dr. Strange dimensional look with Kirby’s New Gods/late Thor photomontages. Just a mix of planets, shapes, energy – what you would imagine the doorway between dimensions and planes of reality to look like. I’m even thinking of some strange animals swimming through the timestream, just pure surrealism. Robot and Destroyer are floating through. Robot looks confident, as he has done this many times before and is almost floating, while Destroyer looks scared shitless. He looks like his world is falling apart all around him, which, to tell the truth it is.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “AHHH! AHHH!”

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Calm down. It’s just the space between time. Not a big deal.”

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “There’s a fucking fish skeleton floating and staring at me. IT’S STARING RIGHT AT ME!”

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “You have to just free your mind when surfing reality.”

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “I’m about to free a dump in my fucking pants if this shit keeps up.”

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Am I going to have to get my digital camera?”

Page 11
Panel 1 – Destroyer is calming down, now floating a bit easier through the ether of reality.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Focus. Focus. Dude, umm…where is that death guy?”

Panel 2 – Robot is plotting a course on his hologram screen.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “The dead love shiny things. I banked on that.”

Panel 3 – 329 dimensions away, we see Death King coming through the doorway.

Panel 4 – And suddenly, he is in another reality filled with cartoon characters. They should be cute, cuddly, and singing. Rabbits, cats, dogs, all with human characteristics like a Warner Brothers cartoon.

WORD BALLOONS
Sung by characters: “Where have you gone again my sweet? Everybody wants to know.”

Panel 5 – Death King slices one of their heads off, laughing.

Page 12
Panel 1 – The cartoon character reaches down and puts his head back on and starts singing, dancing, and laughing again.

WORD BALLOON
Character singing: “I'm just a ghost, I’m on your street. Waitin', when you comin' home?”

Panel 2 – Death King spins to head back for the doorway.

Panel 3 – But as he turns, he notices that a big cartoon cat has devoured the door, stranding him.

Panel 4 – Death King is screaming in frustration.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “EVERYONE DIES!”

Panel 5 – Destroyer is laughing as he floats through the reality stream.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Har har har, you sent him to a cartoon world? Well, where are we going, anyways?”

Panel 6 – Close-up of Robot’s face.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “We’re going to visit the gods.”

Adventures of the World’s Angriest Robot Part 5 – Eight Times Over Miss October

Page 1
Panel 1 – Focal panel of the Death King standing over the fallen Destroyer. Blood and guts everywhere, as Destroyer is crawling away from him. One of his hands is trying to stuff his intestines back inside of his body.

Down the right side of the page, we’ll have four panels, with some space for the title and credits.

Right panel 1 – The Robot is fighting his way back into the room, with zombies hanging all over him.

Right panel 2 – The Death King is lifting his weapon high above his head, obviously with the intent of delivering the killer blow.

Right panel 3 – A shot of Destroyer’s face, with a shadow of Death King looming down on him, obviously making a slash toward his neck to behead him.

Right panel 4 – Death King is swinging his weapon at Destroyer.

Page 2
Panel 1 – Destroyer’s eyes are closed. He’s obviously making his peace with whatever maker he has.

Panel 2 – Destroyer is being pulled violently backwards as the weapon crashed into the ground in a shower of sparks. Destroyer’s face is surprised.

Panel 3 – Destroyer looking freaked out.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “What the…”

Panel 4 – Robot is pulling Destroyer by his spinal cord away from the Death King. Destroyer is in great pain, now that he realizes what is happening.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “ARRRRHHHHHHH!”

Panel 5 – Death King’s angry face, obviously displeased by what is happening.

Panel 6 – Robot runs out of the room. Destroyer is screaming at him.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “You forgot my fucking legs!”

Page 3
Panel 1 – Robot is yelling back at Destroyer.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “I’m sorry, I was a bit more concerned about the fucking embodiment of death killing you.”

Panel 2 – Destroyer is yelling right back at him.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “I’m not going through my life without my lower half. Turn around.”

Panel 3 – Robot turns his head and is screaming.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “No. We’re going to get to somewhere normal and figure out how to get these zombies out of my house.”

Panel 4 – Destroyer is holding the ground with his hands.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Yes. We’re going to go get my legs.”

Panel 5 – Robot looks frustrated.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “No.”

Panel 6 – Destroyer is screaming.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Look, you may be asexual, but I’m not. My cock is back in that room and right now, a zombie might be feasting on it. So turn it the fuck around, Tranzor Z.”

Page 4
Panel 1 – We see Robot running the upper torso of Destroyer back into the room, scrambling like a maniac. Zombies are getting ready to eat Destroyer’s legs.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Remind me why I’m doing this?”

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Because you want the cock, robo-mo. Hey, you undead fucks! Get away from my legs!”

Panel 2 – Death King is swinging his weapon around, narrowly missing Robot and Destroyer.

Panel 3 – Destroyer grabs his legs.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Let’s go! Let’s go!”

Panel 4 – A huge group of zombies, followed by the Death King, starts to chase them.

Panel 5 – Robot lifts up Destroyer and jumps through a door, splintering wood all over the hallway.

Page 5
Panel 1 – Robot is running down a hallway, carrying what’s left of Destroyer, who is frantically trying to hold onto his legs.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Run, run, run! Forget about opening that door! Don’t you have super speed or something?”

Panel 2 – Robot is in motion, opening a door, and then continuing to run. This could be drawn as a Flash-like effect of multiple bodies moving to show speed. This could be done throughout this page, unless we close up on a face, to show speed (and depending on how much you feel like drawing).

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “I’m running at 68 kilometers per hour. That should do.”

Panel 3 – Destroyer is laughing.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Of course you use metric. I should have known.”

Panel 4 – This should be a long, horizontal panel that splits the page in half. Robot is running hard through the hallway. Through doors, we can see into other worlds inside the doors, including a jungle, outer space, a pyramid being built by workers…just go crazy, as this hallway should appear to be able to lead to anywhere.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Oh, I’m sorry, just because the US doesn’t keep up with the rest of the world…”

Panel 5 – Robot runs past a window that has mermaids swimming up to it.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Where the hell are we?”

Panel 6 – We see the zombies starting to shamble through the hallway.

Panel 7 – They walk near the door that Robot opened earlier.

Panel 8 – Through the doorway, we see a western style Native America scene.

Page 6

Panel 1 – A big action panel, as several Apache braves jump out of the doorway, hollering and screaming. They should be painted and carrying appropriate weaponry. Some have tomahawks, while others are firing arrows.

Panel 2 – Another big action panel. You might consider splitting the page into three panels, with each panel of equal size. In this panel, the Apache are just ripping the zombies to shreds, scalping them, slicing off their heads.

Panel 3 – The zombies are in pieces, defeated, and we see the last Apache closing the door behind himself.

WORD BALLOON
Apache: “Silver Face’s home must always be respected.”

Page 7

Panel 1 – The Robot is carrying Destroyer down the hallway. He is explaining what is going on, as best as he can.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “My house is the big tree at the center of all things. And this hallway is the root that runs through all of it, connecting every world and reality with a door, window, or opening.”

Panel 2 – Robot’s face as he talks.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “It started as a haunted house. And it just kind of grew from there.”

Panel 3 – Robot continues to run, carrying Destroyer.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “It just keeps on growing, with me and my house at the center of it.”

Panel 4 – Destroyer is getting woozy.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “We need to get me some whiskey before I bleed out. You stopped making sense at the words my house.”

Panel 5 – Robot is pondering as he drops Destroyer to the floor.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Now that I’ve had some time to think, I don’t blame you for any of this.”

Page 8

Panel 1 – Destroyer thuds as he falls to the floor.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “AARRGGGGGG! What the…it’s not my fault anymore?”

Panel 2 – Robot is stepping inside a doorway. We can see that it’s Germany during World War 2, with bombs falling and explosions everywhere.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “It’s no coincidence those zombies at in the house. Be right back.”

Panel 3 – Destroyer is slumped on the floor, trying to get his spine to fuse back together so that his top half and bottom half grow back together.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “Never had this happen before.”

Page 9

Panel 1 – The Death King makes a grand entrance, weapon drawn.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “He’s right, you know.”

Panel 2 – A horizontal panel that shows Death King and Destroyer are about twenty feet apart. Death King is stalking toward Destroyer.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “This house is at the center of all things.”

Panel 3-5 – Death King’s face gets closer and closer.

WORD BALLOONS:
Death King: “The gods believed in Yggdrasil, the world tree. This house is more. It is the tree whose skein holds every universe together. Without this house, there is no life, anywhere.”

Panel 6 – Another horizontal panel that shows just how much closer Death King is to Destroyer.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “I have killed the gods and it was just not enough.”

Page 10

I’m thinking that this page should have a huge shot of Death King, not in panel but on his own, really over the top and screaming these operatic villain lines. Go crazy making him look completely insane.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “Every world, every being, every atom has it’s roots here in this house. At this hallway, at the center of it. This is where blessed nothingness will find it’s ebon root. Here, at the beginning and end of it all.”

Small panel near the bottom of the page of Destroyer, looking out of it

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “It may be the blood loss, but that makes no fucking sense.”

Page 11

Panel 1 – The door opens and Robot is coming out of the other side, firing a Luger into a crowd of Nazi soldiers and holding a bottle of whiskey with a Swastika and eagle on the label.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “And that’s not the first Hitler I’ve killed, either! So there!”

Panel 2 – Robot swivels his head to notice Death King.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Oh, it’s you.”

Panel 3 – Death King speaks to Robot.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “My quarrel is not with you, soulless beast. I must end his life, as I pledged. And then, I end reality.”

Panel 4 – Robot screaming.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Oh, just shut the fuck up and kill him already.”

Page 12

Panel 1 – Destroyer looks incredulous.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “What?!?”

Panel 2 – Robot is laughing.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “Somewhere back there in the reality where the Nazis won the Civil War, I decided that gimpy here is holding me back. Just get it over with.”

Panel 3 – Death King is lifting his weapon. He is about five feet from Destroyer.

WORD BALLOON
Death King: “So be it.”

Panel 4 – Destroyer’s face, looking worried. He is screaming his last words at Robot.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “You’re not allowed to speak at my memorial service, you fucking shit.”

Panel 5 – Robot is laughing.

WORD BALLOON
Robot: “You seem to think anyone would care enough to have one for you.”

Panel 6 – The weapon is coming right for Destroyer, again, just like in the beginning.

WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: “I’m gonna rise from the grave and shit all over you. Zombie shit. I swear this on my soon to be ended life. Zombie shit.”

TO BE CONTINUED
