Narrator
Back in Jackson, Mississippi, after spending a few days in the town,
Kendrick Stark has revealed Ellie's immunity to James Rhodes.
And as Ellie overhears Stark's plan to hand Ellie over to Rhodes,
she decides to run off on her own.
Narrator
Kendrick Stark finally catches up with her.
Ellie
Is this all they really had to worry about?
Boys. Movies... and what the hell is a skibidi?
Kendrick Stark
I don't know. It's a slang used by the kids from that time.
Ellie
It's bizarre.
Kendrick Stark
Get up. We're leaving.
Ellie
And if I say no?
Kendrick Stark
Do you even realize what your life means? Huh?
Running off like that, putting yourself at risk...
it's pretty goddamn stupid.
Ellie
Well, I guess we're both disappointed with each other then.

Kendrick Stark
What do you want from me?
Ellie
Admit that you wanted to get rid of me the whole time!
.jpg)
Kendrick Stark
Rhodey knows this area better than-
Ellie
Agh, fuck that!
Kendrick Stark
Well, I'm sorry.
I trust him better than I trust myself.
Ellie
Stop with the bullshit!
What are you so afraid of? That I'm gonna end up like Sam?
I can't get infected! I can take care of myself.
Kendrick Stark
How many close calls have we had?
Ellie
Ellie
Well, we seem to be doing alright so far.
.jpg)
Kendrick Stark
And now you'll be doing even better with Rhodey!
Ellie
I'm not her... you know?
Kendrick Stark
What?
Ellie
Maria told me about Morgan-
Kendrick Stark
Ellie!
You are treading on some mighty thin ice here.
Ellie
I'm sorry about your daughter, Ken, but I have lost people too.
Kendrick Stark
You have no idea what loss is.
Ellie
Everyone I have cared for has either died... or left me.
Everyone - fucking except for you!
So don't tell me that I would be safer with someone else
because the truth is I would just be more scared.
You're right...
You're not my daughter.
And I sure as hell ain't your dad.
And we are going our separate ways.
WEST COAST KANG:
THE RISE OF THE CONQUEROR
Episode Nine - The God Trials
Doctor Nicholas Strange-????
I've casted a spell that will place your brother into another world.
A world only known as Borderland.
I've done what I can, but the rest will be up to Thor Rocksinson.
Harrison Butker
Borderland? What's that?
Doctor Nicholas Strange-????
A world where Fantasy Managers teeter between life and death.
Thor Rocksinson borders between both planes.
And in order to survive, he'll undergo the God Trials to determine
if he's worthy enough to return to the land of the living.
Harrison Butker
The God Trials... why have I never heard of this?
Doctor Nicholas Strange-????
Because it's black magic.
Only the souls of the damned can access the Book of Vishanti.
During the next two weeks, Thor Rocksinson must win both his weekly matchups.
Should Rocksinson fail the God Trials... I'm sorry to say, there will be no coming back for him.
BORDERLAND
---------------------------------------------------
Thor Rocksinson's Objective:
Survive the God Trials
(Win Both Matchups in Week 9 and Week 10)
---------------------------------------------------
Narrator
On the brink of death, we find Thor Rocksinson.
He observes his surroundings, unsure of how he got here.
Thor Rocksinson
Where am I....?
Zeus
Thor Rocksinson.
A curious place to find the son of Odin.
Yet, here you stand before the God Trials.
Thor Rocksinson
Zeus? What am I doing here?
Zeus
Before you, stands the God Trials.
During the next two weeks, you will face a series of tests.
Failure to succeed will mark the end of your life.
Thor Rocksinson
Tests? What kind of tests?
Alexx the God Butcher
The kind that butchers Gods...
Thor Rocksinson
Alexx the God Butcher.
So, the rumors of your existence are true.
I heard through the grapevine that you nearly made it to Eternity.
And in that journey, you nearly completed your wish of becoming a League Champion.
Alexx the God Butcher
Ah... silly, God.
You think I would make the trek to Eternity and I would be so simple minded
as to wish for a League Championship in a Fantasy Football league...?
Thor Rocksinson
If not that, then what?
Alexx the God Butcher
I would wish... that all Gods must die.
Alexx the God Butcher
...starting with you!
Thor Rocksinson
Very well.
Let's see what you're made of.
Game Start
The Two Fantasy Managers clash as we head into Week 9.

(Present Day)
Kang the Conqueror
Bring up the compunction statement for the Scarlet Joyce.
.jpg)
Scarlet Joyce
What is this?
.jpg)
Kang the Conqueror
Read it.
Scarlet Joyce
I don't want to...
Kang the Conqueror
No, do.
.jpg)
Scarlet Joyce
Forgive me for the harm I've caused this world.
None may atone for my actions but me,
and only in me shall my stain live on.
Scarlet Joyce
I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those wizened hands.
All I can be is sorry, and that is all that I am.
.jpg)
Kang the Conqueror
I'm afraid you don't mean it.
Scarlet Joyce
Excuse me?
Kang the Conqueror
Again, please.
.jpg)
Scarlet Joyce
Forgive me for the harm I've caused this world.
None may atone for my actions but me,
and only in me shall my stain live on.
I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those wizened hands.
All I can be is sorry, and that is all that I am.
Kang the Conqueror
Again.
Scarlet Joyce
Really?
Kang the Conqueror
Joyce, I have given you every chance to make this right.
For two seasons, I have assigned you the simple task to destroy Earth-1887.
But time and time again, you seem to find a way to fail me.
Scarlet Joyce
Kang, I am trying...
Kang the Conqueror
Are you?
Because the way I see it, you're 3-5 and currently in 8th place.
Scarlet Joyce
I am still Top 3 in points...
Kang the Conqueror
Yet you're still in the bottom half of the league.
And your loss last week to Return of the Mac...
Scarlet Joyce
It is not my fault that Marcus Mariota threw a last second interception...
Kang the Conqueror
Yes... but is it your fault that you went and
met with Alexander Wayne and the Great Kevan in Earth-1887?
What...? How-
Kang the Conqueror
I see everything, Joyce. You can't hide from me.
You tried to warn them. You told them about my plans.
Scarlet Joyce
Kang.. it's not what you think...
Kang the Conqueror
I've shown you mercy, I've shown you your family.
I've done my best to reunite you with the Vision.
But maybe it's time we go the other way?
Scarlet Joyce
The other way?
Kang the Conqueror
Kang the Conqueror
Maybe it's time I put your Vision, the Viper, Sandy Orton into the Kang Games.
Scarlet Joyce
The Kang Games...?
What's that?
Michael Cole
Welcome to the Kang Games! We are live in St. Louis, Missouri
for a special Week 9 edition of Wednesday Night Preview!
For those who missed our Week 8 action, we have a quick recap here.
The Joycement Day defeated CFL
Jets2Holiday also known as CM PUP defeated the #1 ranked Fantasy Manager,
111.48 - 110.12 and for 3 straight weeks now,
CM PUP has been in a match that was determined by 1 point.
A very close matchup between the Tribal Chief and the Best in the League.
But of course, Pat, I would be remised if we didn't talk about John Seana vs. Vincent Rhodes.
Michael Cole
After John Seana's surprise turn last week on Preview,
John Seana went on a complete rampage on Vincent Rhodes in Week 8,
scoring a high 142.16 points, defeating the American Nightmare by over 50 points.
Pat McAfee
Well, it seems as if he's had an attitude adjustment, Cole.
John Seana is as vicious as we've ever seen him.
After mediocre performances all season long, John Seana took things to another level on Sunday.
Michael Cole
Well of course, it was under the backing of the Final Boss, as he interrupted the match
and handed John Seana the 2020 League Championship...
perhaps it is symbolic, as some pundits claim that the 2020 League Championship
was the title that was stolen from Seana and won by The Baugh.
Jerry 'The Kang' Lawler
John Seana appears to have sold his soul for a chance at a League Championship.
The Final Boss has the power in this League to make it happen.
Jerry 'The Kang' Lawler
Meanwhile for the American Nightmare, refusing The Baugh's offer could be his undoing.
Up until this point, Vincent Rhodes was viewed as a fronter runner alongside Rockson Reigns.
But now, after the brutal attack at the hands of John Seana and The Baugh,
Vincent Rhode's season hangs in the balance.
Pat McAfee
You could say that again, Vincent Rhodes' season is in serious jeopardy,
now that he has lost his lead dog, Cam Skattebo for the season.
Michael Cole
It was a gruesome injury indeed and a completely unnecessary one.
John Seana had the match won, why take it so far as to injure Vincent Rhodes even further?
Michael Cole
John Seana's actions as of late have made me absolutely sick.
And to make matters worse, John Seana has yet to address the media or the public.
He has refused interviews, media appearances and he has gone dark on social media.
We have yet to understand the motivations behind John Seana's attack.
Jerry 'The Kang' Lawler
I think his motivations are clear, Michael Cole.
John Seana wants to win the Kang Games and will do anything in his power to do so,
even if it means selling his soul to The Baugh.
*Sandy Orton's Music Hits*
Sandy Orton-616
First of all... I don't exactly know what the hell is going on here...
I must be living in some kind of nightmare, because when I woke up this morning,
I was in my locker room backstage...
And then I turn on the television and the first thing I see is John Seana turning heel
and aligning himself with The Baugh.
I can tell you for certain, I must be in hell...
Because the last time I saw John Seana and The Baugh,
the two of them sacrificed themselves to defeat Donald Trump and his Fantasy Stones....
So my only conclusion is.. I must be dead.
And you all... must be the devil.
Council of Kangs
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Sandy Orton-616
If I'm in hell... I probably deserve it.
But right about now, I demand some answers!
*Justin Style's Music Hits*
Justin Styles
Sandy Orton, I have good news and bad news.
The good news... you're not in hell.
The bad, you're not far off from it.
You see, it seems as if you're the newest entrant to the Kang Games.
And Sandy, let me give you some advice...
I did a little bit of digging and it turns out, Tai Rollins' claim that the Kang Games is corrupt...
well it turns out, he might be right after all.
Kang the Conqueror is looking to bury us all!
*Crowd Boos*
Council of Kangs
BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!
Justin Styles
I've talked to Tai Rollins, I've talked to Kevin Owens.
And we're forming a rebellion.
We're calling it the No Kangs Movement.
We're going to stand up to Kang and we're gonna put an end to the games!
And truth be told, we could use your help.
Join us and we can put an end to all of this madness before we're all killed.
Sandy Orton-616
Justin Styles... I don't even know what the Kang Games is.
And honestly, I'm a bit perplexed... John Seana and The Baugh died fighting Donald Trump.
Justin Styles
Not in this world.
Sandy, I don't know what world your come from...
but in this world, Kang has recruited variants from across the multiverse to play in his little game.
Before Sandy Orton gets a chance to respond,
he undergoes a massive migraine and becomes incapacitated.
Justin Styles
Whoa, Sandy. Are you alright?
Somebody get some help out here!
*Joycement Day's Music Hits*
Baker Mayfield
Did somebody call for help?
Justin... Justin... this so called rebellion that you're speaking of... it's cute.
Baker Mayfield
But it seems Tai Rollins has you brainwashed and you're about to throw away your buy-in money.
I'll give it to Tai, he's a tricky son of a bitch.
One minute he's talking to you as if he's your friend,
the next, he's stealing all the grand prize money.
And as your friend, I hate to see you lost like this...
I'm sorry to say, Justin.
But the No Kangs Movement is a scam.
Baker Mayfield
So instead, I have better offer for you.
It's time to rise up and join our club at the Joycement Day.
What do you say?
Justin Styles raises his arm and decides to flip off Baker Mayfield!
Baker Mayfield decides to attack and the Joycement Day jump Justin Styles.
Michael Cole
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Don't do it, Baker!
Baker Mayfield
I could've ended your career right there.
I could've ended it all right now, but I'm your friend.
And that's not what friends do.
Michael Cole
Justin Styles in serious trouble as Sandy Orton is still out on his feet...
The Joycement Day stand over Justin Styles.
Michael Cole
And as Sandy Orton finally comes to, he comes face to face with Rhea Joycely.
Rhea Joycely
Don't worry, Sandy.
We're not here to hurt you.
As a matter of fact, we need you.
Rhea Joycely
We need you to join the Joycement Day.
And together, we'll win the Kang Games.
Rhea Joycely
Think about it, Viper.
We'll be in touch... hahaha.

President Trump
Well, today is about Elon.
Elon is a very smart business man, he's one of the world's great innovators.
And he's come here today to utilize his talents to make this country great.
Elon and I, we're going to meet, we're going to have some lunch.
Isn't that right? We're gonna have some lunch?
Elon Musk
That's right, Mr. President.
President Trump
I think we're going to have a very productive meeting.
I've asked Elon to put together a team of very smart people.
And they're going to help detect fraud and waste in our government.
We are going to save billions and billions of dollars.
President Trump
So thank you, Elon.
This country owes you a debt of gratitude for your hard work.
Elon Musk
Thank you, Mr. President.
Narrator
After the press conference,
President Trump and Elon Musk are left to a private conversation.
President Trump
Elon, forget everything I just said in there.
Department of Government Efficiency, that's just a show.
I don't care about any that.
I have a far more important task for you.
Elon Musk
More important than cleaning up corruption in the government?
What do you have in mind?
President Trump
President Trump
Effective immediately, I want you to pull all of your resources
and allocate your full attention to finding the Fantasy Stones in this world.
Elon Musk
Fantasy Stones? Sir, I hate to be that guy...
but I'm pretty sure what you're referring to is a myth.
There's no such thing.
President Trump
I assure you, Elon. It's not a myth.
In another world, I once possessed all six Fantasy Stones and believe me,
the Power of those Stones were unlike anything you have ever seen before.
I need that Power... and you're going to give it to me.
As Elon Musk leaves the White House, he opens his phone and writes a text.
Elon Musk
Bad news. Trump is going after the Stones again.
Narrator
Within in a matter of seconds, he gets a response.
Mark Zuckerberg
That's unfortunate, he was a valuable asset.
The Conqueror said it was a possibility that Trump could go rogue.
But you know what we have to do, if he got out of line.
Proceed with Operation Orange Man.
Elon Musk
Consider it done.

As we return to our unknown universe, Kendrick Stark and Ellie meet with James Rhodes,
Stark's intention is to hand Ellie over to Rhodes to deliver her to the Fireflies.

Kendrick Stark
Where is this lab of theirs? The Fireflies, I mean.
James Rhodes
It's all the way out in the University of Eastern Colorado.
.jpg)
Kendrick Stark
Ellie, get off your horse. Give it back to Rhodey.
Ellie appears surprised by Stark's decision.
Kendrick Stark
I'm gonna hang onto this fella, if that's alright with you.
.jpg)
James Rhodes
What are you doing?
Kendrick Stark
Your wife kinda scares me. I don't want her coming after me.
James Rhodes
Look, come back to town. Let's discuss it at least.
.jpg)
Kendrick Stark
Eh, you know me. My mind's all made up.
University of Eastern Colorado.
How do I find this lab?
James Rhodes
James Rhodes
It's in the science building, looks like a giant mirror, you can't miss it.

As Kendrick Stark and James Rhodes say their goodbyes,
Rhodes takes the opportunity to invite them back to Jackson after their journey.
There's a place for you here, both of you.
Kendrick Stark
I know. You take care of yourself, Rhodey.
Come on, Ellie. Let's finish this thing and get to the Fireflies.
