INT. HOUSE – MIDDAY

SPIDERMAN, PEELY, MIDAS, and EMINEM look at their loot. EMINEM sighs and checks his stats. It reads “2 assists” and “1 kill”. His teammates have four kills each.

EMINEM
I don’t know guys I just feel like I drag down the team…

SPIDERMAN
No! Don’t say that, you are a valued member of the team!

PEELY nods in agreement and MIDAS looks away awkwardly. 

MIDAS 
Uh.. There’s one more team left. You can take them Eminem!
We believe in you!

EMINEM nervously nods and they all leave the house.


ENT. PORT-A-FORT – MIDDAY

SPIDERMAN, PEELY, MIDAS, and EMINEM stand at the edge of the port-a-fort (that is on top of a mountain). PEELY points at the last team that’s healing at a campfire.

SPIDERMAN
Ok Eminem, all you have to do is knock one of them and we have an
advantage in the next fight… You can do it!

SPIDERMAN hands EMINEM a sniper. EMINEM walks towards the edge and aims at the team. He shoots and misses. The camera pans in on EMINEM’s disappointed face.

EMINEM
I’m sorry guys, I always screw up. I’ll just sit over there.

EMINEM sits at the other edge of the port-a-fort. He stares off into the distance. SPIDERMAN walks up to EMINEM, but before he can say anything an impulse grenade knocks EMINEM off the port-a-fort.

SPIDERMAN
Eminem! No!


EXT. BOTTOM OF MOUNTAIN – NIGHT

EMINEM lands in a bush, he takes 99 damage. EMINEM looks up into the sky with tears in his eyes. 

EMINEM
(SIGH)
They’re better off without me….


EXT. CAMPFIRE – NIGHT

SPIDERMAN, PEELY, and MIDAS eliminate the last player. PEELY, MIDAS, and SPIDERMAN look at each other in awe. 

SPIDERMAN
We won, guys! Whoa, I feel a dance coming on! Hit it, Peely!

The group breaks out in dance, but they fail to notice a shape flying with balloons in the background. 


EXT. BOTTOM OF MOUNTAIN – NIGHT
EMINEM looks up at the mountain to see flashing lights.

EMINEM
They won? Of course. They truly didn’t need me. 

EMINEM closes his eyes in defeat. He takes -50 shield (emotional damage). EMINEM now has 50 shields and 1 health. He is truly defeated. EMINEM’s eyes shoot open at the sound of a rocket. He sits up and checks the player list, there is one more player left. 

EMINEM
Wait! There’s one more person left!

EMINEM jumps out of the bush and builds up to the mountain. 


EXT. CAMPFIRE – NIGHT

When EMINEM reaches the top, he sees his teammates defeated on the ground, surrounded by smoke and loot.

EMINEM
No! Midas! Peely! Spiderman! Who–Who did this?

Out of the smoke emerges Fish Stick with a wicked grin on his face.

FISHSTICK
Eminem, it’s nice to see you again.

EMINEM
(confused)
Who are you?! How do you know who I am?!

FISHSTICK laughs and shakes his head.

FISHSTICK
Don’t remember me? Ok then, back at the start of the match…


EXT. TILTED TOWERS (FLASHBACK) – DAY

A knocked FISHSTICK looks up at EMINEM. EMINEM looks sadly at the fish and walks away. FISHSTICK looks at him in shock.

FISHSTICK
I was knocked down, my teammates were killed… yours. And you spared me.
After my humiliating defeat, I trained for this moment!


INT. GYM(FLASHBACK)-DAY

FISHSTICK goes on a montage of him lifting weights, running on a treadmill, doing curl ups. The flashback ends with FISHSTICK’s silhouette standing in front of the gym door. Bright light is behind him.


EXT. CAMPFIRE – NIGHT

EMINEM looks at FISHSTICK in shock.

FISHSTICK
And by sparing me you’ve killed your teammates. 

EMINEM
I-I did this? No! I would never throw the game!

EMINEM holds his head with his hands. He falls to his knees.

FISHSTICK
Now I shall return the favor… By killing you! And taking this dub for myself.

EMINEM gets flashbacks of his friends’ faces. They surround him. 

SPIDERMAN
We believe in you Eminem! Win or lose, we’ll be in the lobby waiting for you.

MIDAS
You can do this! You can win this match!

PEELY nods happily with a thumbs up.

EMINEM
No! I can’t let you win!

EMINEM gains the “power of love” rocket launcher (legendary rarity). He reads the tag that says, “from your friends; PEELY, MIDAS, AND SPIDERMAN <3” EMINEM smiles and shoots FISHSTICK in the face. FISHSTICK blows up. EMINEM looks up at the “Victory Royale” above him. Confetti rains down as he tears up.

EMINEM
I won? I won!
