Beanpie - Volume 9 Episode 2: Black Raven

Written by Shaun Bolden

Scene 4: Shaun sneaks up on the guy guarding the door and hits him with the two by four, and then he sneaks inside. He looks around, and is then grabbed from behind by Gary.

Gary: Hey Unc, look what we have here, the dark knight in shining armor. And it looks like he knocked Mikey out at the door.

Fat Man: Hey George, go drag Mikey in here and guard the door. (turns to Beanpie) It looks like you even came with a few friends. Hahahahaha, this is so cute, but nothing is going to work.

Beanpie: Don’t worry mate, there are a lot more men out there waiting to storm this place.

Fat Man: Didn’t I tell you about the cameras, we saw when you came and who you came with. I am not worried about your little posse crashing this party.
Beanpie: Then you should know that they will be calling the police, and all of my stuff will be returned to me.

Fat Man: Looks to me like you were caught breaking into my warehouse. Who are the cops going to side with here?
Beanpie: Why exactly did you take my stuff to begin with?

Fat Man: A smart business move, you see you were running your mouth to my niece about the things you were inventing.
Beanpie: You mean Charlene?

Fat Man: Ding, ding, ding, and tell the man what he’s won.

Beanpie: I can’t believe she was in on this.

Fat Man: Well son, there are many things you are not aware of, and one of them is how much money I will be getting because of these items.

Shaun: I can’t believe someone would go through all of this trouble for these bootleg ideas.

Fat Man: In these times we need to cut costs where ever we can, I have found a way to cut all costs. Now it is time to say goodbye.

*Just then George who was guarding the door crashes through the window.

Scene 5: Lisa jumps through the window behind the guard and stands facing the Fat Man and Gary.

Lisa: Why am I not surprised to see you here?

Fat Man: And what have we done to be given the honor of being graced by the presence of the Black Raven?

Gary: I always thought the Black Raven was a man

Fat Man: She’s close enough.

Lisa: Thank you for such kind words. Who do we have here? The Flying Cricket (Gary), and you, the Iron Belly (Fat Man).

Fat Man: Such names are rarely used these days, but yes it is who you have said. Though your name is well known in the underground, I do not think you can even take the Flying Cricket, Get her.

---This is where you want to get your popcorn folks.---

*Gary jumps into the air with a flying back kick.

Lisa: Trim the hedges

*Lisa repels his attack with a swift roundhouse kick.

Lisa: Please, my Green Thumb style is too much for you or any of your cronies.

Fat Man: Well then, let us find out which is better, your Green Thumb style, or my Concrete Fist style.

Lisa: Let’s go.

*Fat Man throws a punch at Lisa.

Lisa: Prune the roses

*Lisa blocks the initial punch, but does not see his second punch. It connects and sends Lisa sailing across the room.

Fat Man: The Green Thumb style is very outdated, and in need of some new moves. I would be honored to teach you, here’s lesson one!

*Meanwhile Shaun manages to untie Beanpie and they quickly move out of the way.

Shaun: Are you alright man?

Beanpie: Yeah, I’m fine.

Shaun: Good because I am a little lost. When exactly did Lisa learn karate? Beanpie: Your guess is as good as mine mate, one thing I do know. We should move out of the way before we get done over by the Black Raven.

*Shaun sees Gary lying on the floor and notices that he is coming to. He picks up the two by four and hits him on the head.

Shaun: By the way, my name is Shaun.

*Lisa stands back up and draws a line on the ground with her left foot.

Lisa: Not bad old man, now are you ready for more?

Fat Man: Lesson two, how to respect those better than you!!!

*Fat Man throws a barrage of punches only to have them all blocked by Lisa’s left foot.

Lisa: I call that one, mowing the lawn. Now this is what will happen next, I am going to till the soil, plant the seeds, water the plants, and finally remove the weeds.
Fat Man: Wha….

*Lisa jumps into the air and chops Fat Man in the neck with both hands, the pokes him in the eyes, she follows that up with up with a quick sweep, and finishes it up with a mid air low blow. She stands over him and looks him in the eyes

Lisa: Now say it.

Fat Man: Never

*Lisa puts her foot on his throat

Lisa: Say it, or I will show you how I squash the ant.

Fat Man: Okay, your Kung-Fu is the best.

Scene 6: Beanpie, Shaun, and Lisa tie Fat Man and company up, go back to the truck and get Tailgate and Jamie and begin to load up Beanpie’s things.

Tailgate: So, what happened in here?
Beanpie: Too much to talk about now.
Jamie: How did they know we were coming?

Shaun: They had cameras, and saw Beanpie and Tailgate sneaking in last night.
Tailgate (to Beanpie): I told you to wear a mask.

Beanpie: A bit late for that now don’t you think?

*As they finish putting the things in the truck, Beanpie notices a push cart in the corner.

Beanpie: Hey Ice Juicy, could you help me put this into the truck?

Shaun: Hey Randolph, my name is Shaun, and why do you want that old cart?
Beanpie: This is the cart they stole from me in the first place. I can spruce it up and put it to good use.

Shaun: If you say so.

*They load everything up into the truck, and head back to Beanpie’s house.
