[after a flight around the city, Atom Eve welcomes Invincible to the Team Teen's headquarters]
Rex SplodeOh, hey! It's the iceman.
Rex Splode
Couldn't have won that fight without you. Oh! Except we did.
DKDupli-Kate
They got old. And ran away.
Rex Splode
Still counts.
RRobot
Welcome, Invincible. My name is Robot. Apologies for Rex Splode. He's...
Rex Splode
Unbelievably awesome.
Rex Splode
And bored of this.
Dupli-Kates #1 and #2: [unison] I'm Dupli-Kate.
Invincible. Which one of you do I look at when we talk?
[as Invincible and Omni-Man fight, Atom Eve enters the Guardians of the Globe's room]
Rex Splode
Eve! [embraces Eve] Oh Jesus Christ, you're okay.
I'm fine. What's happening with Mark and Omni-Man?
Rex Splode
Omni-Man's kicking the shit out of him. The world's gone fucking nuts.
RCRudy Connors
Indeed. I truly hope Mark lives up to his name. To face his father and survive, he'll need to be...
[title card is presented with sinister music, and with the title being almost completely covered in blood]
(King Lizard points a gun at Rex-Splode's head)
KLKing Lizard
Mhmm, so brave, but is it the brave man who survives? or is it the one who waits, until his opponent is too injured to fight?
Rex-Splode
Just do it, you prick.
(King Lizard shoots him through the head.)
(Later.)
KLKing Lizard
Oh, the Guardians are dead, they're so dead, they've made quite the mess of your precious little missile base. I'm not sure you'll ever get the floors clean, again. Agree to my demands and I will consider not destroying half of the Nation!
(Rex-splode slowly gets up, blood squirting from the bullet hole in his skull.)
Rex-Splode
Fuuuuuuuuuuck...
KLKing Lizard
Well, look at this brave little soldier, seems like the loss of your brain, hasn't hurt you as much as one would expect. Oh my, how sad.
Rex-Splode
[Mumbling.] Shut up...
KLKing Lizard
[Hard to hear, voice ringing.] Perhaps you're too stupid to realize this, but you're supposed to be dead.
Rex-Splode
I said, SHUUUT UUUUP!
(Begins fighting King Lizard, delivering a flurry of punches, before picking him up by the hair and punching him with the stub of the hand he previously lost.)
Rex-Splode
I. Can't. Believe. You. Shot me. In the Fucking head!
Continues kicking King Lizard while he is on the ground, as GDA soldiers appear.
SOSoldier One
Sir, are you alright?
Rex-Splode
Why would you- That's a weird question. Im fiiiine, totally good! Never better? You know me! I'm practically- :[Slam "INVINCIBLE" title card. Cut back to him staring, before he falls backward onto the ground.]
STSoldier Two
We need to get this guy to an OR now!
STSoldier Three
Get a stretcher over here!
(As Mark exercises by lifting a mechanized weight)
Over the last 90 days, Mark's speed has increased 65%. His endurance 70%. And his strength, and we checked this wasn't a mistake, 138%. Science team is working on a heavier version.
So, the billion dollar question then, can he beat that Viltrumite woman who made us all shit our pants three months ago?
We think so. But she implied someone much worse was coming.
Which is why we're not stopping here, with Mark or any of our other plans.
Rex Splode
Fuck me! Way to make a fellow superhero feel inadequate. That is not leg day.
(Mark stops)
Hey Rex. Yeah, Cecil's got me on a training plan.
Rex Splode
Uh, yeah. I can see that. So, um, how much did all this cost, Cecil? Is this why the coffee maker still broken at the Guardians' HQ?
We bought you a new hand, Rex. That wasn't cheap.
Rex Splode
Yeah, and this is the third time I've been back trying to get it adjusted. Look, I'm trying to give you the finger right now and I can't.
Oh man, that's your favorite finger.
Rex Splode
It's my favorite finger!
It's his favorite finger, Cecil. (shrugs)
Cecil only does what's necessary.
MGMonster Girl
So I suppose it was "necessary" to put a bomb in Mark's head?!
He just proved it was. Now get back to work. That's an order.
Rex Splode
[throwing his mop to the floor] NO! This is bullshit, and we don't have to put up with it anymore! Cecil doesn't own us! We can just leave!
MGMonster Girl
Where would we go?
Rex Splode
Well, what's wrong with Teen Team?
Rex Splode
At least we didn't try and assassinate each other!
BBulletproof
I don't believe that's exactly what happened--
[growls in frustration, then snaps] OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! The Guardians are the best superheroes in the world! It's a privilege and an honour to work here! Yes, there's hardship! Yes, there's sacrifice! If you children don't like that, GET OUT!
Rex Splode
Ooooh, that's a great idea! Because I'd rather quit than work ONE MORE DAY with a SANCTIMONIOUS, BOOTLICKING, HYPOCRITICAL PRICK LIKE YOU!
[after a short, tense silence] The door is over there!
Rex Splode
[to his friends] You heard him. Who's coming?
SRShrinking Rae
You know I am.
BSBlack Samson
Wait! Everybody calm down.
MGMonster Girl
If Cecil did that to Mark, who says that he wouldn't do that to all of us?
BSBlack Samson
That's a little extreme--
BBulletproof
[dropping his mop] Fuck it! I'm out too. I can't work for a man I don't trust.
GGogglesible
[holding Rex Splode by the throat] That was pointless. Kind of like your entire life. [squeezes Rex's neck]
Rex Splode
[grunts and coughs] Ouch.
GGogglesible
I'm gonna pop your head off, and then I'm gonna catch the others and skin them alive. [Rex grunts as he places a hand on the open wound on his abdomen] Um, if you're worried you're gonna bleed to death before I kill you, you're dumber than even the Rex from my world.
Rex Splode
[Rex gasps for air] Sure... but I'm the idiot who took you with me!
GGogglesible
Yeah? How? You're out of shit to explode.
Rex Splode
[Rex groans as he sticks his hand into his open wound] I've got one... thing left...
GGogglesible
[pulls Rex closer to him] Mm-hmm? And what's that?
Rex Splode
[Rex's bones start glowing as he charges up his own skeleton; last words] My entire goddamn skeleton, dickhead!
GGogglesible
Hmm? [Rex explodes, killing both himself and Gogglesible]
