WORDS ON SCREEN: PREVIOUSLY ON RAMPAGE

A montage of various clips from the last episode showing Lizzie's and Ralph's arguement ove rthe  cleaning, George's day at work, Ralph, the mysterious man and the red powder, the use of the red  powder on the burgers and their subsequent transformations and the alien invasion..  

We end the clips with the Death Ship descending from the heavens.

EXT - BIGTOWN - DAWN

The sun is starting to rise as the Korrilian Death Ship drops slowly towards the trio.

GEORGE
I wonder what it wants!

RALPH
Well I doubt it's after one of your Atomic Burgers mate.  Nope it's probably the same stuff those t.v. aliens are  always after.

Lizzie and George look at Ralph with a confused look.

GEORGE
What are you going on about?

RALPH
You know! Destroy our cities, take over our planet and enslave everyone.  (beat) The NORMAL stuff!  In fact  this thing probably has some kind of laser weapon of some sort which it will use to blow everything up.

As if that was a queue to fire, the death ship fires a massive plasma beam that just misses Ralph's  head and obliterates a library behind him.

RALPH (CONT'D)
Whoa. (beat) Well at least I won't have to return that book I borrowed.

LIZZIE
I thought you got that book from the other library, the one on the other side of town.

RALPH
Oh yeah, so i did.  

Ralph walks towards the Death Ship till he is just in front of it.

RALPH (CONT'D)
(To Death Ship)
Hey you wouldn't mind going over there and blowing that one up as well would you?

Lizzie crosses her arms in anger.

LIZZIE
RALPH!

Ralph turns to Lizzie shrugging his shoulders and raising his hands in a 'What did I do?' manner.

RALPH
(Innocently)
What? It was worth a shot wasn't it.

Nobody is taking any notice at the three giant animals and the mechanical insect fighting in front of  them.

INT - DEATH SHIP - 

Lord Argale and Grendel stare at the monitor, a look of confusion on their faces.

LORD ARGALE
What'ssss with these earthlingssss.

GRENDEL
I'm not ssssure.  Our ssssourcesss ssssaid they were sssstrange but I did not expect thissss.

Argale slams his hand down hard on the arm of the throne.

LORD ARGALE
Well no matter.  Theeese three sssshall be desssstroyed with all the otherssss.

A shot of the monitor with the trio being shown on it.

EXT - BIGTOWN - CONTINUOUS

Lizzie has to side step out of teh way as the Death Ship fires a Plasma Blast straight at her.

George looks angry.

GEORGE
Right, that's it.

He reaches up and grabs hold of the plasma cannon.  With a powerful tug of his ape-like arms he  wrenches the weapon free in a shower of sparks.

GEORGE (CONT'D)
That's no way to treat a lady.

He holds the cannon with both hands like a baseball bat.

INT - DEATH SHIP - 

The Korrilians are frantically pushing buttons.  The word 'DANGER' flashes on the main monitor.

GRENDEL
Get ready for impact.

THE STREET

George swings.  He hits the Death Ship with a mighty thwak. This leaves a large dent in the front of  the ship.

INSIDE THE DEATH SHIP

The Korrilian's run around in a panic as some of teh controll consoles burst into flames.

Lord Argale and Grendel just watch the monitor.

LORD ARGALE
Ready the ssssecondary weaponssss

A Korrilian at an undamaged console turns and salutes.

KORRILIAN
Yessss my lord.

He starts to press buttons on his console

OUTSIDE DEATH SHIP

The trio take a step back as very large weapns start to appear from the big spaceship in front of  them.

RALPH
This could be a problem!

GEORGE
(Sarcastically)
No! You think?

INSIDE DEATH SHIP

The Korrilian at the weapons console turns and salutes Lord Argale

KORRILIAN
Ssssecondary weaponssss online my lord.

LORD ARGALE
Fire!

EXT - BIGTOWN - MORNING

The trio have to jump out of the way as the new guns on the large ship begin to fire at them.

GEORGE
(To Lizzie)
Hey Lizzie, you okay?

LIZZIE
(Angry)
Fine

Lizzie turns to face the ship. A plasma beam hits her in the shoulder.  Luckily it just bounces off and  hits a nearby building, blowing a large hole out of it.

LIZZIE (CONT'D)
(Very angry)
Right that's it!

George and Ralph give each other knowing and slightly worried glances.

RALPH AND GEORGE
Uh oh!

They duck and put their arms over their heads as Lizzie soars over them towards the ship.

Lizzie lands on top of the ship sending it crashing to the ground under her immense weight.

She begins to tear at the hull of the ship with her large reptilian claws, ripping out the secondary  weapons from the mounts.

INSIDE DEATH SHIP

The Korrilians are in a panic.  More consoles are exlpoding, warning lights and sirens are blaring and  the drinks amchine is spilling its contents everywhere.

Lord Argale turns to Grendel.

LORD ARGALE
Issssss the eckssss-5-11 still operational?

Grendel moves over to a console that has not yet burst into flames and types something in.   Something appears on the main monitor

TEXT ON MONITOR:  X-5-11 OPERATIONAL.  

GRENDEL
Yesss my lord!

LORD ARGALE
Good.  Begin transssformation sssequence!

Grendel salutes and pushes a very large button.

EXT - BIGTOWN - CONTINUOUS

Lizzie is still kneeling on top of the ship tearing it to pieces.  Suddenly the entire ship jerks causing her  to lose her balance and tumble off.

Ralpha and George rush over to help her to her feet. As they do so they watch in wonder at the ships  transformation.

Six large insect-like legs extend out of the side at the rear of ship, three on each side.  The front of  the ship folds up making a kind of body.  Two arms grow from this newly created body, both ending in  a pincer-like device.  The cockpit of the Death Ship transforms into an insect like head, not entirely  unlike a praying mantis.  

RALPH
Now that was cool!

INT - DEATH SHIP - 

Lord Argale smiles as he watches a computer generated recreation of his ship  on his monitor go  through the same transformation his ship just did.

GRENDEL
Transssformation isss complete!

LORD ARGALE
Good.  Now desssstroy them.

OUTSIDE

The giant bug-ship aims an arm at George and 'BANG' fires a ROCKET straight at him from the  middle of the pincer.

The blast knocks George flying backwards, straight through several buildings,  He skids to a halt just  in front of a play park full of children.

Ralph jumps towards the bug-ship but it catches him in its pincers and slams him hard into the  ground.  The SHOCKWAVE causes the windows of a dozen building to simultaneously shatter.

RALPH
Ummph!

Still holding onto Ralph, the Bug-Ship swings him directly into Lizzie, knocking them both into a bank.

Lizzie jumps to her feet and runs towards the enemy.  

The Bug-Ship reaches out for her but Lizzie dodges the pincers and jumps onto its head.

LIZZIE
(Angry)
You've bugged us for the last time ugly!

She begins to pund hard into the head / cockpit of the bug-ship, each blow causing teh entire thing  to vibrate and shake.

The Bug-Ship raises an arm towards Lizzie but it is stopped by George who GRABS hold of it with  both hands.

George pulls with all his might, ripping the arm off in a shower of sparks.

GEORGE
(Sarcastically)
Oops, sorry about that.

George raises the severed arm above his head.

GEORGE (CONT'D)
Here I'll give you a hand!

He slams the ARM down hard on to the back of the Bug-Ship

INT - DEATH SHIP - 

The Korrilians are holding on to anything they can as the ship is rocked with blows from Lizzie and  George.

LORD ARGALE
(Looking at Monitor)
Evasive man... What the?

On the main monitor we can see Ralph walk into view.  He pulls back his fist and 

WHAM!!! 

The entire monitor is filled with Ralph's fist.

OUTSIDE

The head of the bug-ship spins round uncontrollably

INSIDE

The head has stopped spinning.  The Korrilians stumble and and begin falling over because they are  so dizzy form the spinning.

LORD ARGALE (CONT'D)
(Dizzy)
G-g-g-get th-th--th-thosssssse f-f-freaksssss

INT - SHOPPING MALL - MORNING

Shoppers go about their daily lives in the busy shopping mall.  Children drag adults over to toy shops  whilst the food courts are packed with hungry teenagers.

A man walks out of a shop called "BIG SHOES FOR BIG PEOPLE" as seen by the sign above the  window.  He has a tag saying MANAGER on his shirt.

He looks to his left just in time to see...

RALPH'S GIANT FOOT crash backwards through the mall right in front of him.

SHOE MANAGER
(Calmly)
I don't think we have anything 'His' size.

EXT - SHOPPING MALL - CONTINUOUS

Ralph stands in the middle of the shopping mall.  The path of destruction clearly visible.  

RALPH
(To Bug-Ship)
Is that all you got?  Come on I haven't even worked up a sweat!

Ralph moves swiftly towards the Bug-Ship and delivers a mighty UPPERCUT. He follows this with a  tremendous roundhouse punch.

The LEFT LEGS of the Bug-Ship fold underneath it and it crashes to the ground.

A tour bus loaded with passengers trundles merrily onto the same street the battle is being waged on.  

INT - BUS - 

The passengers eagerly take snapshots of the buildings around them as the driver drones on about  the 'history of the area'

BUS DRIVER
(Bored)
To your left you can see the ruins of the public library and just beside that the remains of what was, until five  minutes ago, a luxury shopping mall

The passsengers are all oohing and ahhing as they merrily take photos of the carnage.

BUS DRIVER (CONT'D)
Just to our right if you look closely you can see a giant bipedal wolf fighting a huge mechaincal insect of some  variety.

The passengers watch happily as the Bug-Ship gets to its feet. The driver is speaking  about  all of  this so  ' matter-of-factly ' as if it is an every day occurance.

The head of the giant Bug-Ship looks down at the bus and then back towards the trio. 

In a flash it scoops up the bus, lifting it thirty feet into the air.

ON THE BUS

The passengers are still smiling, it is as if they think it is some kind of ride.  The driver still doesn't  seem impressed by anything.

BUS DRIVER (CONT'D)
If you look below us you can see the road that we just left, whilst to our right is the face of the gaint insect.

The Bug-Ship gets ready to throw the bus.

LIZZIE
You do that and it'll be the last thing you ever do!

The face of the bug-ship seems to smile as it throws the bus towards Lizzie.

Lizzie easily catches the bus and places it 'safely' onto the roof of a nearby building.

ON THE BUS

BUS DRIVER
And here we are on the roof of the Huxler Building.  The building was finished in the late 1970's and is the  crowning achievement of our own Eugene Huxler, a former architect and now our much beloved Mayor. Who  by the way was due to open a new wing at the library but I believe that this has been cancelled due to  unforeseen circumstances.

OUTSIDE

The Bug-Ship and the trio stand staring at each other, nobody prepared to make the first move.

Suddenly Lizzie jerks her leg as if something has just hit it.

She bends down to see what is up.

At the same time the Bug-Ship fires a rocket directly at her.

As Lizzie looks down to see an old woman trying to force a giant Lizard to step out of her way by  bashing its toes with a walking stick, the rocket sails harmlessly over Lizzie's head.

KAABOOOMMM!!!

The rocket hits the building that Lizzie had placed the tour bus on.  The building quickly collapses  to the floor, leaving a steaming pile of rubble.

BUS DRIVER (CONT'D)
(From Rubble)
And here we can see a few tonnes of rubble. (beat) Well thank you for choosing BIGTOWN TOURS I hope  you enjoy your stay in our little city!

We can see the familiar flashes of dozens of cameras going off at the same time and the 'oohing' and  'ahhing' of the incessantly happy passengers.

Ralph reaches down and lifts up a large chunk of wall from the just collapsed building.  

He brings it down hard on the head of the Bug-Ship causing an explosion of bricks and sparks.

INT - BUG-SHIP - 

Lord Argale does not look happy. He reaches down and grabs a passing Korrilian by the neck and in  a fit of anger begins to throttle him.

GRENDEL
(Calmly)
Ssssir choking him will not ssssolve our little problem

Lord Argale considers this for a moment. Then with a grunt he throws the poor grunt to the floor.

LORD ARGALE
Yesss I ssssuposse you are right! But it makesss me feel muchhh better.

GRENDEL
Very good sssir

They watch out of the main screen as George begins to whack the HEAD of their ship with their own  arm.

LORD ARGALE
(Angry)
Send in Attack Team Alpha

GRENDEL
Sir?

LORD ARGALE
You heard me!  I will destroy these three even if it's the last thing I do.

He laughs maniacally

Grenedel turns to a small Korrilian

GRENDEL
You heard him.  Contact them right now.

KORRILIAN
Yessss sssir!  At once

The Korrilian turns and pushes a few buttons on his console.  He grabs his headset.

KORRILIAN (CONT'D)
(Into headset)
Calling attack team alpha! Calling attack team alpha! Battle stations.

Lord Argale rubs his hands together in glee

LORD ARGALE
Now they are doomed!

EXT - BIGTOWN - 

The trio stand looking at the Bug-Ship, wide grins spread across their faces.

Ralph snatches the arm off George and walks towards the ship.

RALPH
Is that all you've got?  You bug eyed little alien dirt bags!

He swings the arm like a baseball bat, slamming it hard against the side of the ship.

LIZZIE
I think it's had enough!

GEORGE
Maybe not!

Lizzie and Ralph look at him.

RALPH
What's that supposed to mean?

LIZZIE
Yeah, spill it!

GEORGE
Oh nothing.  It's just that there are over a hundred ships coming this way right now.

They look to the heavens.  Sure enough there are loads of saucers coming down.  

ATTACK TEAM ALPHA

A little bit larger than the initial invasion force and with much bigger weapons.

Some of the saucers stay in the air and surround the trio, whilst others begin to grow long insect-like  legs and touch down on the ground.

The trio watch as extremely large weapons begin to grow out of these new saucers, all of them aimed  right at them.

RALPH
This should be interesting!

All the cannons open fire at once.

George, Lizzie and Ralph are lost in a blaze of plasma beams and smoke.

The saucers are still firing when Ralph comes running out of the smoke. He knocks one of the  walking saucers to the ground with a magnificent shoulder barge.

This causes a large shockwave which shatters even more windows.

Ralph grabs the legs of the saucer and begins to swing like an Olympic hammer thrower.  A few  walking saucers as well as a few flying ones are caught in the twister, exploding on impact.  

Ralph lets go and the saucer goes flying along the street.

It smashes a few more walking saucers before finally crashing, and exploding, on the back of the  Bug-Ship.

Meanwhile George is jumping across some walking ships like they were stepping stones. When he  reaches the last one he comes down extra hard, crushing it into the ground.

Lizzie swings her massive tail, sending a few saucers flying through the air. Then she turns and leaps.

Her claws slash through One - Two - Three flying saucers.  They all lose control and end up crashing  into each other in one massive explosion.

Ralph runs quickly through a gauntlet of Walking and flying suacers. He swings the arm of the  Bug-Ship.  Saucers exploding behind him in a shower of sparks.

MONTAGE

Ralph swings the arm into a mulititude of saucers.

George uses his strength to crush the saucers with his bare hands. As well as elbow-drop a few of  them.

Lizzie uses her massive tail like a whip to slice through several saucers. She also uses her massive  claws to tear a few of them apart.

INT - BUG-SHIP - 

Lord Argale and Grendel look on in shock as they watch the main monitor. On the monitor we can  see the trio making short work of Attack Team Alpha.

GRENDEL
I don't think we are winning sssir!

LORD ARGALE
(Angry)
I can sssee that you fool!

Lord Argale throws a cup at the screen

LORD ARGALE (CONT'D)
What will it take to desstroy these freaksss

GRENDEL
I do not know sssir!  We have thrown everything we have at them and nothing ssseemsss to work!

LORD ARGALE
(Angry)
Are you trying to tell me that I ssshould give up?

GRENDEL
(Nervous)
No sir...

LORD ARGALE
(Shouting)
I NEVER GIVE UP!

Lord Argale approaches the screen.

LORD ARGALE (CONT'D)
YOU HEAR ME FREAKSSS? WE NEVER GIVE UP!

EXT - BIGTOWN - 

Ralph looks around confused

RALPH
You guys hear something just there?

Lizzie and George tilt their heads as if they are listening for something.

LIZZIE
Nope!

GEORGE
Can't hear a thing!

Ralph shrugs his shoulders.

RALPH
Must just have been me!

He doesn't seem to notice a waling saucer come up behind him.  Its cannon glowing as it gets ready  to fire.

At the last moment Ralph turns around and punches the saucer hard.  It is sent flying backwards  crashing into several other saucers.

A wide shot of the area shows the Trio standing proud, surrounded by the wreckage of hundreds of  Korrilian saucers.

The trio turn to face the Bug-Ship.  Wicked grins spread across their faces.

They approach the ship menacingly.

RALPH (CONT'D)
(Menacingly)
Now where were we?

The Bug-Ship begins to back slowly away.

INT - BUG-SHIP - 

Lord Argale, Grendel and the other Korrilians look at the monitor.  They look very very scared.

GRENDEL
I think we're in trouble sssir

LORD ARGALE
I think you're right!

Lord Argale turns to his men.

LORD ARGALE (CONT'D)
Full retreat.

Nobody moves.  Grendel steps forward, his arms crossed, eyes burning with hatred.

GRENDEL
You heard our Lord!  Full retreat! Letsss get out of here now!

The Korrilians all salute.  Then there is a mad dash as they preapre to high tail it out of there.

Lord Argale turns to look at the monitor.  It shows the Trio advancing towards them.

LORD ARGALE
(To screen)
You haven't ssseen the last of usss! We will be back and your planet will be oursss

EXT - BIGTOWN - 

The trio stop and watch as the Bug-Ship transforms back into a very battered Death-Ship and flies  away into the sky.

RALPH
I wonder where they are going!

GEORGE
Home probably.

LIZZIE
Yeah I guess we were too much for them!

Ralph looks sad.

RALPH
Shame. I was having fun with those guys.

He looks all around them and a large smile beams across his face.

RALPH (CONT'D)
(Happy)
I'll tell you something!

LIZZIE
What?

A wide shot of the ruined city, buildings collpasing and bits of space ships strewn everywhere.

RALPH
I aint cleaning this mess!
