A Bada Bing Plot: Crossed Scarred Heart Finale
*Scene cuts to a black screen and mumbling of voices could be heard. The screen then shows light escaping, almost like eyes opening up. The light clears as it reveals a wall with a shining light a top of it*
Rose: *leans in* Rikku!? You’re awake!
*Scene cuts to Rikku waking up with bandages on her wounds and slowly waking up*
Rikku: Awake? Wh-What hap- *jumps up* LEBLANC!
Rose: *holds Rikku down* Easy, you were shot…probably by-
Rikku: *holds her wounds* Logos
Rose: …Yea, you’ve been knocked out for a while
Rikku: …W-Where’s Paine and Yuna and Tidus and Mankey?
CX’s Voice: Well…
*Rikku looks over and sees Yuna, Paine, Tidus, and CX all badly beaten up, re-assembling his arm*
CX: Let’s just say, things got a little hairy.
Rikku: Oh my god…are they-
Rose: All of them are stable, Tidus and CX are the ones who suffered more
Rikku: What about Mankey!? Did Leblanc do this?
Rose: Um…
CX: *reattaching his arm* Mankey did this
Rikku: MANKEY!? Bu-But why?
ULX: *comes down from upstairs* I’ll explain later, right now, we gotta make sure that Stacy is alright, or if she killed him.
Rikku: KILLED HIM!? WH-WHAT!?
ULX: *opens the door* Stac-
*ULX sees Mankey looming over Stacy with his weapon over her head*
ULX: STACY! *dives behind the bar, grabbing a shotgun, then popping up aiming at him* HEY!
*Mankey glared at ULX, but ULX simply fired the gun knocking Mankey away from her. Rose, Cole, Tiff, and Rikku all pop out*
Rikku: MANKEY!
ULX: Cole, get Stacy inside! *cocks the gun, aiming at Mankey* I gotta take care of this.
Rikku: Is he insane!? He’s gonna kill him?
Cole: …*lowers head* I’m sorry, Rikku, but if we don’t stop him now, he’ll kill us all. *goes over to help Stacy to the back*
Mankey: *glares at ULX and stand up*
ULX: *fires at Mankey’s legs* You think you can get away with almost killing one of my friends!? *smacks Mankey with the butt of the gun*
*Mankey gets up, ignoring all pain, and backhands ULX knocking him away. Mankey slowly walks over to ULX ready to strike*
Rikku: MANKEY! *runs over to him and hugs him* Stop it…j-just stop it Mankey!
Mankey: *frozen in place, eyes pulse between red and normal* Rik…ku?
Rikku: *nods* It’s me Mankey…I’m okay…just stop…please!
Mankey: *slowly hugs her, eyes going back to normal* Thank god…you’re safe… *passes out*
Rikku: Mankey? MANKEY? MANKEY!? *tries desperately to wake him up*
ULX: *gets up and lifts Mankey over his shoulder, sighs* Looks like you saved my life Gullwing…Rose?
Rose: Hmm?
ULX: I think Stacy and Mankey are gonna need some heavy work…use the beds upstairs to heal them.
Rose: Got it!
ULX: Cole…take Stacy to her room.
Cole: Gotcha *heads with Stacy into the back*
Rikku: W-What about the others?
ULX: They’ll be fine…trust me *walks away*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Scene cuts outside the medical center where Tidus, Yuna, Paine, and Mankey are resting, all with bandages and cuts. Mankey is hooked up to a repertory machine. ULX is outside the room, with CX, Tiff, and Rikku.*
Rose: *comes out of Stacy’s room behind them with Cole* Well, she’s alive…took a lot of white magic and medicine, but she’ll live to fight another day.
ULX: Good…How are…
Rose: Tidus will recover, he’s not made out of papier-mâché, though the kind of beating he got was a cake walk compared to what Mankey had. I’m surprised he’s even still alive, I mean I found bullet holes, slashes, cuts, and of course the coupe de grace a scythe lodged in his back.
ULX: *grins* I always knew he was made of tougher stuff. *walks away*
Cole: That’s it!?
ULX: *shrugs* That’s it
Cole: *angered*…OKAY THAT DOES IT! ULX YOU BETTER START GIVING US SOME ANSWERS!
ULX: *stops*…oh?
Cole: Chris…damn it, look at what happened, for all we know we think Mankey turned evil and is still evil. Before you wanted to kill him, now you wanted us to save his life. Tell us what is going on, now!
ULX: *sighs* Crossed Heart…
*All of them look at ULX confused*
ULX: *turns to them* What we saw, was Mankey’s Crossed Heart form. It’s sort of an intense rage form that causes him to lose absolute and complete control of his instincts. And well, he attacks in the most primal and destructive way possible.
Cole: …So…Mankey was lashing out because of…
ULX: Knowing Mankey…he lashed out the way he did, because of the battle with Leblanc…more specifically, when Rikku was hurt. His mind must have completely shut down of all rational thought and well…he became an animal.
CX: …So…he went nuts and started hurting people he cared for?
ULX: In that state, Mankey doesn’t know right from wrong, to him there was probably only one thing that he cared for at that moment, pain, friends, and death escaped his mind.
Rikku: I don’t understand…why was he like that?
ULX: My best guess? Mankey is half animal and half human, when you got hurt, his human side lost the thing that made him human. Rational thinking. After that, all that remained was his primal instincts, seeing anyone who was attacking you as an enemy, even if they were helping you.
Tiff: Chris…how do you know all this?
ULX: Mankey told me about it. He told me that if I ever saw his chest the way that it was, that I should get the hell out of there, or I’d be dead.
Rikku: …*looks away* I see
ULX: …Rikku, I will say this, Mankey is not a bad guy…he just has a side of him which is a little bit…brutal. He would never hurt anyone on purpose, not while he’s normal.
Rikku: But what if he flips out again?
ULX: …*sighs* I don’t know
Rikku: *looks away* That’s-That’s what I’m afraid of. *goes inside the medical room to check up on Paine and Yuna*
ULX: Damn it…*shakes his head and walks away* Call me if something happens
CX: Got it, Chris.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Time passes as the bar is torn up inside. A shadow escapes from the back room and starts to walk towards the exit. Suddenly a bright light is shone revealing the shadow to be Mankey*
ULX’s Voice: You know, most people wouldn’t dare sneak through the front door…that’s just silly.
*Suddenly the lights turn on, revealing ULX with a flashlight*
ULX: *turns off the flashlight* What are you doing Mankey?
Mankey: *turns away* Leaving…
ULX: In your condition? What are you crazy?
Mankey: Pfft, I’m fine…I’ve had worse.
ULX: YOU GOT A SCYTHE JAMMED IN YOUR BACK, MAN!
Mankey: …yeah well…shut up. *starts to leave*
ULX: Oh for the love of, why don’t you stay here and rest up?
Mankey: *stops* Because…I’m afraid I might have overstayed my welcome. I probably put Stacy in critical condition, and Tidus might be damaged…not to mention what it did to the Gullwings.
ULX: *sighs* Look, the Y.R.P are fine, and by tomorrow they’ll be on their feet. Tidus is durable he can handle a beat down from you, trust me on that. And Stacy…well I can say she enjoyed herself, and sees you as someone she can really hope to beat the crap out of one day.
Mankey: Still…I don’t want to be around…
ULX: …That why you keep moving?
Mankey: *smirks* No…*looks over his shoulder* I move to make sure I don’t get too attached, so that way that other side of me never escapes again.
ULX: …Hmph, what a bunch a shit.
Mankey: …believe what you want. *starts to walk* Tell Stacy…I’m sorry I hurt her and that she gets well soon.
ULX: …Nothing I say is gonna make you stay here and rest huh?
Mankey: *shakes his head* Not unless you can turn back time and change history.
ULX: *sighs*…Mankey! *tosses a bottle to him*
Mankey: *turns around and grabs it* ULX, you know I don’t dri-
ULX: It’s an Elixir…stole it from the Gullwings personal effects…I had a feeling you were gonna leave during the night
Mankey: …*looks at it*…does it taste good?
ULX: Tastes like absolute crap…but it does its job.
Mankey: *puts it in his pocket* Thanks…*is about to leave* Christian…were you gonna kill me?
ULX: …You took down my friend, and the love of my life was not that far away…if you were in my shoes, would you?
Mankey: …Good point *raises hand in the air* Until next time, Ultimate Legendary X *leaves*
ULX: *waves hand* Take care Wise Mankey.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Scene cuts to the next day*
Voices: WHAT!?
*Scene shifts to the bar where, Tidus, Rikku, Yuna, Paine, CX, and Tiff all in shock looking at ULX*
ULX: He…Left
CX: But…the man took a SCYTHE in the back!
ULX: Told you he was made out of strong stuff
Yuna: ULX, he was badly injured…why did you let him leave?
ULX: Cause he wanted to leave...this ain’t a hospital or a prison
Tiff: Chris!
ULX: Look, I gave him something to help him heal a little better
Tidus: Like what?
ULX: One of the Elixirs you guys had
Yuna, Rikku, and Paine: WHAT!?
Paine: We need those for battles! I mean Elixirs aren’t easy to ma-
ULX: Alchemist
*Moment of silence*
Paine: …Sh-Shut up
Yuna: I…just can’t believe he just up and left
Mankey’s Voice: Left?
*All look outside to see Mankey leaning on the wall with a pleased look on his face*
Mankey: Now why would I leave?
Rikku: MANKEY! *runs and hugs him*
Mankey: Ow, careful…*hugs back* Well, what can I say…I couldn’t leave you girls in the hands of Tidus.
Tidus: What is THAT suppose to mean?
Nick: *pops in* IT MEANS YOU’RE A FAGGOT AND I FUCKING HATE YOU! WHY CAN’T YOU BE COOL LIKE YOUR FATHER, YOU PATHETIC SACK OF CRAP! *pops out*
Tidus: …WHAT!? Do I have a kick me sign on my back or something!?
Nick’s Voice: Maybe…you are stupid for that
Tidus: HNNG!
ULX: …Why did you come back?
Mankey: …To apologize, formally…I’m sorry to all of you. I put you through hell and back, and almost killed people I cared for, because of stupid instincts.
Tiff: Mankey…
Mankey: I’m even sorry for ripping off CX’s arm…
CX: If it’ll make you feel any better, it was my fapping arm and I didn’t shower.
Mankey: …yeah, thanks for that. Now I need my hands desensitized. *looks away* You sick FREAK. In any case, I am sorry…I will understand if you all think of me as some sort of burden or something…quite frankly I don’t blame you. Believe me when I say I’m trying to keep it under control, maybe even tame it to fight only enemies. But right now…I just felt that, you all should hear it from the horse‘s mouth. Farewell. *walks away*
Rikku: …Mankey! Wait! *stops him*
Mankey: *stops*…Rikku?
Rikku: Look, ULX explained why you freaked out and why this all happened. But I know, deep down you would never want to hurt any one. That’s why you attacked them, because you were afraid of losing me
Mankey: …Well…*looking away embarrassed* yeah. That’s the gist of it.
Rikku: *grins and kisses him on the cheek* While I don’t care for the whole blood lust and murder. I do like the fact you’re still fuzzy and the fact, you’d protect me no matter what.
Mankey: Heh…well, I’m good for SOMETHING, right?
ULX: …Seems like women do love the fuzz more than your insane side, huh?
Mankey: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. Do you not listen to me? Honestly.
ULX: I try and tone out a lot of things at the bar…occupation hazard if I didn’t.
CX: You’re talking about me aren’t you?
Yuna: Well then, I think its time for the Gullwings to head out. *looks at Mankey* You too.
Mankey: *scratches the back of his head* You guys sure you want someone like me aboard? I can’t promise immediate results to be more in control of my other form…
Paine: You may have tried to kill us, but you’re still one tough son of a bitch in our books
Tidus: Tell me about it…I’m still feeling your attacks
Nick’s Voice: It’s because yo-
Tidus: OH GO FUCK IOTA! SINCE THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. Pampering that character like he was the second coming of Jesus or Final Fantasy Seven
Mankey: That was kind of harsh.
Tidus: HE WAS ASKING FOR IT!
Yuna: Right…well we’re off.
*Yuna, Rikku, Paine, and Tidus head out. Mankey starts then stops for a second*
Mankey: *looks back* Bada Bing…thank you
Tiff: Think nothing of it Mankey, just do me a favor?
Mankey: Anything, mon chér.
Tiff: Next time something like that happens again, don’t freak out and kill your friends
Mankey: Heh…I’ll try. *heads off*
CX: You think he’s gonna be okay?
ULX: Mankey? He’ll be fine…as long as he’s surrounded with people he cares for, his heart will always find a place to call home.
CX: Kinda like you?
ULX: Heh, yea…kinda like me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Scene cuts to a black screen with Leblanc, Ormi, and Logos all badly hurt*
Ormi: …I
Logos: HATE!
Leblanc: THE BADA BING!
*Sounds of a mini gun are heard as bullets fly trying to kill the three. Leblanc and her men run off screen. Bullets stop*
Mankey: *walks in dressed as Heavy [TF2] with Sasha* I dunno, I think the Bada Bing is pretty good. Now…*starts to fire again* CRY SOME MORE! AHAHAHAHA! *heads off screen*
