Chapter 7 - Scene 7

CHRISTOPHER ROBYN is the "Bad Boy/Heart Throb" of the team. He's a handsome blonde, dressed in all black with witchcraft tattoos all over his body.

He pulls the cigarette out of his mouth as he chuckles at the absurdity of Adam and his mecha getting the Christians riled up to protest them.

CHRIS

He's a typical rich boy putting profit over real human progress. I'm pretty sure this crackpot is of a lizard bloodline too!

Eddie, Richard, and Seth give him confused looks.

Adam's voice crackled back through the mech's speaker.

ADAM

Hey Chris, maybe if you stopped worshipping the sun, your conspiracy theories would sound less delirious! You freaking Moron!

CHRIS

I do NOT worship the sun!

He blows out the rest of the smoke as he tosses the cigarette to the ground and stomps on it.

CHRIS

Anyway, that thing in the sky is not really the sun. It's a hologram made by the Chinese.

EDDIE

(Groans)

W-what?

SETH

(Chuckles)

Shut the hell up, Chris.

Richard, now 14 and visibly older than he was in the last scene, is a former child actor. He's always confused.

RICHARD

Aww man!

Bangs his magic wand.

RICHARD

I think I broke it!

Richard leans forward to address someone next to Chris.

RICHARD

(Whines)

Professooor! Can I go get my other wand? This one's broken!

A striking figure steps forward. He has long, wavy red hair and glasses. In his hand, he holds a golden scepter.

PROFESSOR DIAZ flips the scepter into the air and points it at the protestors.

PROFESSOR DIAZ

That won't be necessary, Richard. We aren't going to get violent. No one needs to get hurt.

CHRIS

So then what was the point of us nearly drowning in that moat, trying to get the drop on them?

Professor Diaz pushes up his glasses, smiles, and then tosses his staff to Chris as he walks off.

PROFESSOR DIAZ

Drama...

Chris catches the scepter with a dumbfounded look on his face, watching Diaz abandon them to go chat with the news people.
