WCC No Way Holmes: Episode 12 - The Power of the Sun


Narrator
Somewhere in New Mexico, we find Ignacio Varga,
one of the escapees from the Fox River 8.


Narrator
The former inmate has been avoiding the authorities all season long,
but now it seems his luck has caught up to him.


Peacekeeper
Nacho!
I know you're in there.
Come on out or we'll open fire!


Narrator
The newly converted Mark Andrews shows no hesitation.
He fires away, shooting at Nacho.

 

Narrator
Varga climbs out, wounded by and riddled with bullets.


Peacekeeper
Goddamnit, Vigilante!
We brainwashed Andrews to become a super soldier,
but did you give him the right dosage?
He wasn't supposed to kill him!


Austin 'Vigilante' Seibert
How the hell should I know?
The Hydra manual is all in German!

Peacekeeper
Son of a bitch... if he dies, this is on you!

Austin 'Vigilante' Seibert
I don't know, man.
Maybe we can give Mark Andrews back to Captain Covfefe?
He's been mostly useless this season.
It's not saying much when I'm your best player.


Mark Andrews
My name is Captain Cold.
And revenge is a dish served as such...

Peacekeeper
God... even his super villain lines are shit.
There's got be a return policy somewhere...


Peacekeeper
Oh well... we'll take what we can.
Call Detective D'Vincent and tell him we got one.


Wig Wam
Do ya really wanna...
Do ya really wanna taste it?


WEST COAST COUSINS
NO WAY HOLMES

Episode Twelve - The Power of the Sun


Draymond Green
What's up everybody?
Welcome back to the Draymond Green show with my man,
Golden State Warrior legend, Baron Davis!
Also known as B. Diddy.

Baron Davis
Uh oh. Don't call me that!
I don't want to be affiliated with that anymore! Ha ha!


Draymond Green
Well, thank you for joining the podcast, Baron.
And I know, I know.
Everybody and their moms have their own podcasts these days.
We're part of the wave of the new media and I'm partially responsible.
But Baron, I've got to admit, it's starting to get a little out of hand.

Baron Davis
Oh, no doubt.
When it comes to sports media, everyone has an opinion these days.
And everybody has a podcast.


Draymond Green
That's right. 
They even have rappers now with their own sports show.
Can you believe it? But it is what it is.
And you know, before we get into the show,
we're gonna have to pause real quick and let you know that 
this episode of the Draymond Green show is brought to you by Draft Kings.
Remember, please don't gamble.
It'll ruin your life.
I know a lot of friends who have come to financial ruin because of gambling.
Gambling addiction is real and I would highly advise against it.
But with that said, don't forget to use DRAYMOND10 save $10 off your next parlay.
The Draymond Green Show brought to you by Draft Kings.


Draymond Green
Alright. Let's get into this episode.

Baron Davis
Let's do it.
The playoffs are just around the corner and you know what that means.
We're officially on the Road to FantasyMania!


Draymond Green
Absolutely.
And I want to start with Thor Rocksinson.
The bid for an undefeated season has come to an end.
Thor Rocksinson loses his first game of the season,
defeated by the #2 ranked Fantasy Manager in the League, 
UC Davis Aggies, also known as Kendrick Stark.
But regardless of the loss, Rocksinson
now sets a new record at 10-0 for best start in League History.

Baron Davis
That's going to be tough to beat.
But let's talk about Kendrick Stark and the UC Davis Aggies.


Baron Davis
As the season goes on,
it's looking like it's gonna come down to these two in the main event.
And as great of a season as Rocksinson has had,
quiet as kept, Kendrick Stark is right there with him.
After starting the season at 0-2, he's now won 9 straight.
And honestly, it went unnoticed because of Rocksinson's
undefeated season up until this point.

Draymond Green
So with that being said, Kendrick Stark has now clinched a playoff berth.
He's got one over Rock Reigns, does he have the better Fantasy Team, Baron?


Baron Davis
I wouldn't go that far.
Rock Reigns is still 100 points ahead of the Aggies on the season,
and he just barely squeaked out a win by less than 4 points.
In all actuality, if the Cowboys declined a penalty, Thor Rocksinson actually wins
and his undefeated season continues.
But if these two end up playing one another at FantasyMania,
I know one thing, it's going to be a barn burner for sure.

Draymond Green
Yeah, we're talking about one of the greatest seasons of all time
vs. the greatest of all time.
If Kendrick Stark can put an end to Rocksinson's season,
that'll be another badge on an already historic resume for Kendrick Stark.
Rocksinson is going for the Omega Level status,
meanwhile, Kendrick Stark is going for his 5th.
Another Championship for Stark would put him
head and shoulders above everybody else.


Draymond Green
But anyways, there are only 4 remaining playoff spots
and it's a tight race between #3 - #10.
Wade Vinson has looked pretty good these last 2 weeks.
If he can close out the season on a run,
he might just find himself returning to FantasyMania.
Meanwhile, Alex's Awesome Team and Luke's Lunch Money
look to stave off the managers beneath them.
Can they hold on to clinch a playoff spot?
And can vincent1469 make his first playoff appearance in the WCC?
We're gonna find out in the upcoming weeks as we enter the stretch run of the season.
West Coast Cousins: No Way Holmes.
You won't want to miss the conclusion of this season.
Stay tuned as we'll be covering the action here on the Draymond Green Show.


Earth-415


Kendrick Stark
Alright, listen up Grimaldi.
Tonight is the night.
I've got everything in place to get you out of Black Gate.
But before I tell you the plan, I want some assurances.
I want your word that Morgan will be safe.

The Joker
What? You don't trust me?
A deal's a deal.
You get me out of here and Morgan Stark comes running back to your loving arms.
So how about it?


Kendrick Stark
If anything should happen to her...
just know that I don't have the same rules as the Batman.
So listen carefully.
11pm, that's when it all goes down.
Keep an eye out, because at 11, the Bat Signal will turn on.
That's your signal.
When that light hits the sky, in exactly 30 seconds, the entire security system, 
along with the lights and electricity will be knocked out in your cell block.
When that happens, I'll be outside your cell and I'll blow a hole through it.
You got it?

The Joker
Smash and grab... I like it.
Maybe you really are a genius after all.

*Commercial*


Lady
I don't know... I don't think he's gonna make it.

Kid
Maybe we should call in the backup.

Lady
Alright, Trey. You're up!


If only there were backups in real life.
But at least there's Progressive to protect your home and auto.

Narrator
At Meta Laboratories,
J. Robert Oppenheimer arrives for his first day on the job.


Norman Osborn
Dr. Oppenheimer.
A pleasure, truly.
It's not every day one gets to meet the man responsible for changing the world.
Welcome to Oscorp.
Mr. Zuckerberg said you would be joining, but I couldn't quite believe it.
It'll be wonderful to have another great mind in the lab.

J. Robert Oppenheimer
Mr. Osborn.
I've heard much about your work at Oscorp.

Norman Osborn
Oh, yes.
Here are Oscorp, we are the epicenter of innovation.
You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.
And I say, when it comes to science, leave no stone unturned.


J. Robert Oppenheimer
That's wonderful Osborn.
But some things shouldn't be meddled with by man.

Norman Osborn
How can you say that?
We were put on this earth to explore, to discover.
With everything that you've seen and done-

J. Robert Oppenheimer
Everything that I've seen is precisely why I can say that.

Norman Osborn
Well, you should see what we're doing here with Meta Labs.
Maybe it'll change your mind.
Tomorrow's future is at our doorstep.
Come on in, let me show you.


Narrator
As Oppenheimer walks through the lab,
he's startled by what they're working on.

J. Robert Oppenheimer
Is that what I think it is?


Dr. Otto Octavius
Nuclear Fusion.

J. Robert Oppenheimer
That is... fascinating.

Dr. Otto Octavius
You like it?
It's an honor, Dr. Oppenheimer.
Your work at Los Almaos... well, it's inspired much of what we do here.
I'm only standing on the shoulders of giants.
I'm Dr. Otto Octavius.
I've been working on this project for years and soon,
we may just solve the world's energy crisis.


J. Robert Oppenheimer
That is... remarkable, Dr. Octavius.
But how exactly are you able to stabilize the reaction?

Dr. Otto Octavius
Tritium fuel.
It's an extremely rare chemical compound.
But, with the resources and finances from Norman and Zuckerberg,
we're able to utilize it to create a source of renewable energy.
The power of the sun, in the palm of our hands.


J. Robert Oppenheimer
I look forward to seeing more of your work, Dr. Octavius.
I hope this goes without saying, but let's proceed carefully.
We want to make sure we know what we're building here.

Dr. Otto Octavius
Absolutely, Oppenheimer.


Norman Osborn
Otto is a big fan of your work, as am I.
I've heard that your Fear Toxin compound, when properly compounded,
it can do some truly unbelievable things.


J. Robert Oppenheimer
Unbelievable.
Dangerous, frightening things.
But as long as I'm alive, I won't allow it to be used as biochemical warfare.
We're here to alter the compound, use it for good.

Norman Osborn
Right, of course.

Kang the Conqueror
The reviews are in.
Kevan's American Museum of Curiosity Opening Night.
Critics say it is the most atrocious show that they have ever seen.
The Great Kevan exploits his Fantasy Team
by making money off of his freakshow oddities.
Well done, Joyce.
You've managed to sink Kevan's show.
And 134.48 points, it's well deserved.

Scarlet Joyce
Thank-

Kang the Conqueror
I wasn't finished.


Kang the Conqueror
Despite your strong performance in Week 11,
I am unhappy with the current state of your team.
When I recruited you, you were in 2nd place.
Now, you're barely hanging onto 4th.
This... partnership has been a disappointment.

Scarlet Joyce
I'm.. still learning how to navigate the multiverse.
You have to give me more time.

Kang the Conqueror
Well, you don't have it.
The playoffs are quickly approaching.
You'd better turn things around.

Scarlet Joyce
I thought you said time wasn't what I thought it was.


Kang the Conqueror
It's not.
But you don't have the luxury to wait around.
I don't have the patience for it
and I won't tolerate anything less than the very best.
Don't you see?
I'm only trying to push you to be the very best version of yourself.
...I am a great man.
A great Fantasy Manager.
I am doing great things, not just for me, but for all of the multiverse.
I am responsible for everything that has ever existed.
That is actually the position that I am in.
The woman that supports me, that I support...
needs to be a great woman.

Scarlet Joyce
I'm sorry-

Kang the Conqueror
Coretta Scott King. Do you know who that is?
That's Martin Luther King's wife.
Michelle Obama, Barack Obama's wife.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
I am a great man and you need to be a great woman.
Do you understand?


Scarlet Joyce
I understand...

Kang the Conqueror
Good.
Because if you ever want to see your family again.
If you ever want to see your children...


Kang the Conqueror
Then you'd better get it together.
You've only gone over the century mark one time in the last 5 weeks.
Do you know that?

Scarlet Joyce
I do... and I will make this right.

Kang the Conqueror
You'd better. Because I have a mission for you.
In the last few weeks, I've shown you how to travel the multiverse.
I've shown you how to control your variants.
Now, it's time that you showed me what you're truly capable of.
Now, it's time to show me you're ready.


Kang the Conqueror
Destroy a universe.

Scarlet Joyce
Destroy a universe....?
Like an entire world?

Kang the Conqueror
Yes.
And I think you should destroy Earth-1887.
We've had our fun at The Great Kevan's expense.
It's time to delete their branch.


Scarlet Joyce
But everyone will die...
What about The Professor, Alexander Wayne?
Natasha Sherryoff.
You made a deal with them....

Kang the Conqueror
Oh well.
There will losses on our side.
But that's war. That's the price you pay to win.
Their sacrifice is no biggie, easy to rebuild.
But if you're still hung up on killing the lives of those who live in Earth-1887,
it shows me that you're not ready.

Scarlet Joyce
I am ready.

Kang the Conqueror
Then prove it.
Destroy their world.
In the grand scheme of the multiverse, their lives mean nothing.
They're ants, Joyce. Step on them and be done with it.


Kang the Conqueror
Or was I wrong about you?
Show me what you can do.
Make the hard choice.


---------------------------------------------------
Scarlet Joyce's Objective
Destroy Earth-1887
(Finish the Season in the Top 3)
---------------------------------------------------

Scarlet Joyce
I'll do it.

Narrator
We return to Ignacio Varga as Detective D'Vincent has arrived.


Detective D'Vincent
What the hell is this?
I asked you to bring in the Fox River 8.
11 weeks and all you have to show for it is a gangbanger full of bullet holes?

Peacekeeper
Hey, that's one more member of the Fox River 8 than you've managed to find.

Detective D'Vincent
That's because I brought you in to hunt them down.


Detective D'Vincent
Now I can see that was a mistake.
At least you've managed to bring in Andrews.

Peacekeeper
Andrews is with me.
We've brainwashed him to be on our side, he's helping with the hunt.

Detective D'Vincent
That wasn't part of the deal.


Mark Andrews
Then make a new deal.
Because if you want Captain Covfefe and the rest of them,
you're going to have to cut me in.

Detective D'Vincent
No, that's not how this works.


---------------------------------------------------
John Seana's Objective:
Catch the Fox River 8
(Finish the Season Above Dollar Discount Team and UC Davis Aggies)
Result - FAILED
---------------------------------------------------

Detective D'Vincent
As a matter of fact, I'm pulling the plug on this entire operation.
You're all under arrest.


Peacekeeper
This was your plan all along.
You never intended to make good on our deal.
You just wanted me to catch who I could and then you'd round us all up.

Detective D'Vincent
The deal was good.
But when you start the season 2-9, there's not much I can do for you.
Put your hands on your head or I will shoot.

Peacekeeper
I still have time. The season isn't over.

Detective D'Vincent
It is for you.
You'll never catch Kenneth Bell now.


????
Excuse me sir, I'm afraid I can't let you take him with you.


Detective D'Vincent
Who the hell are you?
You're gonna have to step aside, sir.
This is official police business.

????
I'm afraid my authority overrides that of your own, Detective.


Peacekeeper
Yeah... I don't know who the hell this guy is?
I'm not going with him.


Ouroboros
I'm sorry, John.
But you don't have any say in the matter.
My name is Ouroboros and we've been looking for you.

Peacekeeper
We?

Ouroboros
The Alpha Force.


Detective D'Vincent
Sir, you are interfering with official police activity.
This is a crime scene and you must vacate the premises immediately.

Ouroboros
Can't do that detective.


Ouroboros
John Seana is coming with me.




















Narrator
At Black Gate Prison, The Joker patiently waits as the clock ticks to 11.


Narrator
The Bat Signal turns on just as expected.

Kendrick Stark's Objective:
Save Morgan Stark (Make the Playoffs)
Result - PASSED

And... here... we...
GO!
