The setting is about 1030 AD, 30 years after the fall of Lavos. The day is sunny in mild, and once again, people are beginning to gather at Leene square for a day of feasting and dancing (Just for the heck of it this time). A girl and her friends enter the entrance of the square. The girl looks about the crowd with her friends. The girl's name is Mariah, Daugter of Lucca, one of the warriors who destroyed Lavos, the other two are her best (and only) friends Sarah and Chris.

Mariah looks around, taking in all the sights.

Mariah: Wow...big...

Sarah: Ok..so..what do we do now?

Chris: Bumper cars man! Bumper cars!

Sarah: Moron! I think the tent of horror is way better!!

Chris: BUMPER CARS!!!

Sarah: TENT OF HORRORS!!!!!

Mariah groans "Geez..we'll do 'em all, as long as we see my mom's invention, ok?

Sarah: Oh yeah..I forgot about that...

Mariah walks to the center of the square.

Sarah: What's wrong Mariah? You're way tense...

Mariah: No..nothing...

Sarah: Frowns Ooookay....

Mariah puts on a fake smile " Nothing! Let's have a good time!!"

Man in Ticketbooth: Anyone up for some Silver Points? Place your bets on the runners....get some Silver Points!

Mariah: Hey wait! Runs after Leeta.

Leeta sighs as she runs past some stands, wishing she had never done it.

Sarah: Wait for mmeeeeeeeee!

Lawyer: Oh boy! Another case!

Mariah sprints, panting, finds Leeta behind a box.

Little girl: Look mommy! It's Locke!

Leeta stops by the box near the fruit stand and sighs.

Mariah: Hey, what the heck do you think you're doing?!

A Mystic enters with bag of weapons "Can't.. you... carry... some of this.. Melchior?"

Lucca: Mariah? Lucca calls for Mariah.

Fritz: Lucca, how are you?

Lucca: My invention is all ready for the public, but I wanted you to be there.

Mariah: Really? Oh...Gets a scared look in her eyes, but Lucca doesn't see it Ok. Do you mind if my friends come?

Mariah: Arrgh! She is a witch!!!

Leeta doesn't mean to overhear the conversation...but she listens in.

Mariah stamps her foot down "Witch!"

Lucca: Now I will not tolerate that kind of talk. I don't want to hear another word about Iris.

Mariah sighs "Ookay..for you mom.."

Lucca: Mariah, do you want to stay home for the entire fair?

Scientist: Miss Lucca, your friend Iris is waiting for you in the town square.

Mariah: Mother? I'm not a child!

Lucca: Thank you Victor, I was just about to leave. Then whispers to Mariah "Then act like it!"

Scientist: No problem.

Mariah: Just a little upset, that's all. I'll be there in a second.. growls. Geez...parents...

Lucca walks off toward the setup place.

Fishy Merchant: Get yer fresh fish right here! We catch them, you buy them!

Lucca: Hello, Mariah! Leeta smiles and plays a bit with her hair.

Mariah: Hi mom...where do you want us...?

Victor: Miss Lucca, how will the machine affect this area? Iris told me to add some capacitors to the machine for some added effect of sorts....

Lucca: Just stand on that platform right there, dear.

Mariah: Alright...Stands on the platform

Leeta looks at the platform uncertain.

Sarah: Uh..Mariah..*Psst* what is this machine called?

Mariah: The..the..Neo Mammon Machine...

Chris: Isn't that the machine that...Trails off...

Leeta gasps as she hears the name.

Mariah: Yeah...that one..now I think you know why I'm soo stressed out.

Iris: Lucca, I think we are ready to start!

Leeta moves to the platform......

Lucca: Very well then.Turns to the crowd We are about to witness a new breakthrough in science! I can hardly wait...

Iris: Ladies and gentlemen, pay attention! Shall we explain, Lucca?

Townsman: Whispering and pugging ears Boom time.

Lucca: You go ahead, Iris. I'll check to make sure everything's okay one last time.

Leeta gets a small bit nervous.

Iris: Alright..this machine will help us finally have a clean power sorce for all of Truce!

Lucca walks around the machine and checks little pieces.

Iris: No more oil and coal power! Just pure clean energy!

Mariah: Yeah right..

Crowd: Wow! Can this be?

Mariah: Wish I thought of that...mumbles.

Iris: That's right!!

Victor: It's the answer to all our problems.

Leeta looks at Mariah, eyebrow raised.

Lucca: Looks good, Iris.

Iris: Tell us more Lucca!

Townsman: Yep... it's boom time.

Lucca: I think the world is ready for the Neo Mammon Machine. Iris glares at the men who said "Boom time"

Lucca: Throw the switch please, Iris!

Iris:Alrightie! heheh..

Victor: I'd say some of this was your work too, Miss Lucca. You're the best....

Iris throws the switch.

Mariah: Here we go Leeta!

Iris: see!!?

Lady: See what? NOTHING'S HAPPENING!

Man: Fake!

Leeta grimaces, along with Mariah.

Iris: BUT LOOK!

Townsman: No boom?

Crowd:We don't see anything!

A ball of engergy is appearing at the top of the machine!

Townsman: Looks at Fritz and whispers Boom. Boom-boom-booom. Boom. Have a nice day. grins

Leeta nervously puts her hand to the handle of her Katana.

Fritz: Hehehe

Lucca watches happily.

Iris: We did it!!

Townsman: Well somebody's gotta have the perspective around here! Sooner or later: BOOM!

Lucca glares at the townsman.

Victor: Wow, the machine's a success! Congratulations Madam Iris!

Sarah: Wait..is the energy supposed to be dark like that?

Lucca: Victor, I worked on it too.

Leeta starts to unsheath her katana....

Victor: You both should be put into the Truce Hall of Fame.

Mariah: Hmm...this doesn't feel right...

Leeta: I....don't like this.one bit Mariah..

Lucca watches the energy on top of the machine.

Mariah: Something..is...wrong here!

Victor: The machine....some sorta....energy backwash.....

Mariah: Mom! Shut the machine off!

Lucca: Iris, what's going wrong? Rushes to the machine.

Victor: AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Lucca: I can't turn it off!

Victor is killed by the oncoming energy.

Iris: Oh..what a pity.....Runs to the machine

Leeta growls.

Mariah Stop!! Runs to the machine.

Leeta leaps after Mariah....

Mariah: Mom!

Fritz: Lucca! What are you doing?

Lucca stops working. Well, time to face reality... If i can't turn it off, I can't turn it off.

Iris: Better look out Lucca.

Lucca: Nothing to be done about it.

Townsman: What did I tell you? Boom.

Lucca backs away from the machine.

Fritz: The machine's gonna blow.....run everyone!

Mariah: Mom? What the hell!? Turn it off!

Leeta skids to a stop.

Mariah: People are getting hurt!

Lucca walks out of the square.

Mariah: Mom! What gives?

Fritz: I think you're right... running with townsperson.

Townsman: To Fritz And you laughed at me!

Lucca: The machine didn't work, Mariah. That much is obvious.

The energy is growing larger. Leeta growls some more and with a glare, plunges her katana into the machine! Fritz: I laughed with you, Craig, not against.

Lucca whispers to Iris.

The backwash of energy knocks Leeta on her butt! "Ah!" Leeta sheaths her katana and runs after Mariah...

Sarah: C'mon! Pulls Leeta away.

Lucca: Hmm. That's a large ball of energy... I wonder what's going to happen. Iris giggles

Mariah: Mom! Practally tugs on her MOM! Ding dong? Helloooo? Anyone home?

Mariah is getting waaay scared here...

Leeta shoves Lucca.....

Lucca: ....Facinating....Then, Lucca glares at Leeta, and prepares a Flame Toss. DON'T TOUCH ME!!!

Scientist Near Lucca: Madam Muldune, what do we do now?

Craig: No boom?

Mariah: Mom! This is not facinating! Look! Points to some people hurt..or dead..on the street.

Leeta: Stop this machine!!!!

Scientist Near Lucca: Madam Muldune, this energy backwash is gonna blow Truce skyhigh!

Craig: I'm not stopping at forest. Ocean, maybe, but not the forest. Not this time.

Iris: Pity...

Lucca: Mariah, please stop misbehaving.

Leeta now glares at Iris....

Mariah: Misbehaving???!

Lucca: And tell your friends to stop being such annoying brats. I'm trying to watch the Mammon Machine.

Scientist Near Lucca: Mrs. Nu, Mariah and the others must be led to safety.

Mariah: Mom..uh....did the machine steal your brain?

Another Scientist: I would it best that we run, Lucca. This dosn't look good.

Lucca: All right. Coming, Iris?

Mariah has this urge to slap her mom in the face Leeta growls and jsut stops herself from punching out Lucca!

Iris: I..suppose so... heh...success...

Lucca walks away, to the island their house is on.

Mariah: Mom wait!

Scientist Near Lucca: Mrs. Nu, I'll take Mariah and the others, Norman, get the Neo Mammon turned off, okay?

Mariah: Looks at the machine, then sees her mom left her DAMN! Mariah looks at her friends GO! Go! before you all get hurt!

Scientist Near Lucca: My name is Wade, Mariah, let's get out of here..

Leeta frowns.....

Mariah: Forget it! I can show myself out!

Norman: Why do I always have to shut off Lucca's machines? You do it for once.

Wade: Come on! Your mom's not gonna like this.....

Sarah and Chris run off with the villagers.

Wade: Norman, we'll both shut it off.

Mariah: Leeta..you better go too, I have to find my mom. Leeta backs off....... Mariah looks at Leeta and sighs.

Leeta: Keep in touch Mariah! Leeta runs off.

Mariah: I would like you to come, but..I don't think you'd want to be friends with me...

Leeta stops....."Friends?"

Wade: Let's start with the ener....AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Wade is killed by the energy backwash!

Mariah starts running off to her home, she stops and looks at the storm clouds stirring in the sky.... Mariah runs in the house, calling her mom's name, throwing open every door..not finding her....MOM!?

Norman: You idiot, Wade. trys to shut of machine Little controls.. little contr- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Norman gets killed in the backwash.

Mariah: Wait! The lab!

Lucca is tinkering with the small-scale Neo Mammon Machine. Mariah runs to the lab, and sees Lucca and Iris. MOM!

Lucca: Hello, Mariah.

Leeta silently follows Mariah to her house and then sits beneath a tree, waiting....

Lucca: Did you have fun today?

Mariah: Fun? FUN!?

Lucca blinks. Is there something wrong?

Mariah: Mom! Have you lost all touch with reality?!

Fritz: Where's the companion with Mariah? Is she around?

Mariah: PEOPLE DIED TODAY! Because of YOU!

Lucca: Well, I wasn't forcing them to stand around like idiots while there was an energy anomly in the area, was I?

Mariah doesn't know that Leeta snuck into the house!

Mariah: It should have never happened!

Lucca: It won't again, Mariah.

Craig: She's still with her, I think. Now keep running! This is gonna be a BIG boom.

Lucca: Next time we'll get it to work right.

Leeta creeps into the Nu household, sword at ready......

Mariah: It's still going, and..mom....you know..a long time ago...

Fritz: Let's head to the forest, trust me, the boom won't go as far as Truce.

Mariah: You told me about a machine called the Mammon machine..wasn't it evil?

Iris: Geeez...curious little girl, ain't ya?

Leeta sees some light..."Must be the lab or something...."

Craig: Okay, Fritz. I'll tell your dad that you said that when you're toast.

Mariah: Mom, if we don't shut this machine off in about Takes out her caculator and puches up some numbers 3 minutes, were all dead!

Fritz: My dad's dead, Craig...how will you tell him?

Craig: Ouji board?

Lucca: The old one was. But this is entirely different.

Fritz: No, stupid, he's dead....he's been dead for 30 years

Leeta listens in on Mariah....

Craig: Okay then.. I'll tell your wife that when yer toast.

Mariah: Old one? This one has the EXACT same purpose!

Fritz: Uh, excuse me, Craig, I work only in an armor shop.

Mariah: Mom...Face is hell of stern Turn off the machine.

Fritz: Keep running!!

Machine will self descruct in 60 seconds, 59...

Lucca: Iris, is there a way we can turn it off from here?

Mariah: MOM! SHUT IT OFF!

Iris: Sigh...guess not.. Iris: although....hmm hmm hmm....

Leeta growls and innerdly struggles to decide what to do!

Fritz: Found the palace, Craig, let's head in there....

Mariah: Iris! You're stalling! This is all your fault!!

Lucca: Sorry Mariah, but it looks like there's no way to turn it off. We'll be safe on the island, though.

Mariah: What..about everyone else?

Lucca: Well, maybe most of them won't die... shrugs.

Mariah: Moooom!

Leeta gasps.....

Mariah: How can you be so..coldhearted?!

Fritz: We're down near the Snail Shop now....let's move it Craig!

Leeta: Inhuman witch..mumbles

Lucca: Mariah, if there was some way to help, I would.

Iris: Whispers so that Mariah can't hear, but she does anyway. Because I made her that way...mwa haha.

Lucca: But there's no way we can turn it off from here. You're asking me to do the impossible.

Mariah: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!

Iris: Ahh! Nothing!

Lucca: Mariah! Watch your tone. Iris is a very important and respected scientist.

Mariah: Nothing my foot! You made her this way? What are you talking about?

Fritz: Ahh....safety at last.....let's go in here for now.

Lucca: You could learn a lot from her, if you'd keep quiet.

Mariah realizes she'll get punished for this, but she says it anyway" BULLSHIT!"

Lucca unleashes a Flame Toss on Mariah.

Mariah: Ahh!

Leeta rushes downstairs!

Neo Mammon Machine:15 seconds to countdown

Mariah falls to the floor "Mom?"

Leeta: Earth...Rumble!!!!

Neo Mammon Machine: 4.....
