MediEvil: The Game Prequel/Transcript

	Cambridge, England. Modern Day.
Bandaged Man	[Off-panel, using a voice box] Thank you so much for meeting with me Professor Darrow.
Professor Darrow	[Off-panel] Oh, my pleasure!
	The Professor and the Bandaged Man are seen meeting inside a building of a University of Cambridge college. There is a portait of Captain Fortesque on the wall. The Professor is holding a big notebook.
Professor Darrow	My assistant said you'd promised a story that might be invaluable to my studies. How could I pass that up?
Bandaged Man	[Using a voice box] I have been following your work on the 'The Hero of Gallowmere' for many years. It has taught me a great deal. I think it's time for me to give something back! First, let me apologize for my appearance - I have long suffered from an unpleasant... condition. People would find my true appearance quite distracting. ... And the events that disfigured me also robbed me of my voice.
	They sit down in armchairs. The Professor opens her notebook, ready to write the man's story down.
Bandaged Man	[Using a voice box] Now where should I begin? ... Perhaps at the point where your study of Sir Fortesque's life descends into conjecture. – What really happened to him after his second resurrection? ... He had defeated Lord Palethorn, restored peace to Victorian London, but then what?
Professor Darrow	People have long searched fruitlessly for his final resting place.
Bandaged Man	[Using a voice box] What if I told you you’d been searching in the wrong time?
Professor Darrow	Wha...?
Bandaged Man	[Using a voice box] We know that Sir Dan was aided by the genius inventor Hamilton Kift. Scholars have spent years studying Kift's 'Time Machine' blueprints, but they found no evidence of such a device in his collection.
Professor Darrow	We never believed it could really exist.
Bandaged Man	[Using a voice box] ... Oh, but it did! It was never found, because Sir Dan and Princess Kiya used it!
	We see Sir Dan and Princess Kiya sitting in the Time Machine. The two lovers are getting ready to flip a switch.
Bandaged Man	[Voice-over] With the flick of a switch they simply disappeared from 1886. Perhaps the Time Machine was defective? Or perhaps they failed to properly set it? They found themselves falling uncontrollably through the centuries. ... Gripping each other's hand tightly. But fate had different plans for them. In a blink – they were separated.
	Sir Dan is seen falling down from the sky towards the earth. There is a windmill and a cart full of pumpkins nearby. A castle can be seen in the distance.
Bandaged Man	[Voice-over] Fate had delivered him to this place... ...to this time.
	Fate's Arrow
	Sir Dan lands in a cart full of pumpkins. He emerges from it, shouting.
Sir Daniel Fortesque	[Shouting] Waaghh!
	He realizes that his left arm is missing. He notices that a dog with a red collar has picked it up.
Bandaged Man	[Voice-over] ... Fate had popped off his arm for a reason.
Sir Daniel Fortesque	[Shouting] Oi! Gimme that!
Dog	Arf!
	Dan tries to take his arm back from the dog.
Sir Daniel Fortesque	That's... mine!
	The dog resists and growls.
???	[Shouting] Dog! Dog! Get back here!
	The dog immediately turns around and starts walking away with Dan's arm still in its mouth.
Sir Daniel Fortesque	[Shouting] Noo!
???	[Shouting] Dog!
	The person calling for the dog is revealed to be a pompously dressed man with black hair and buck teeth.
Pompous Man	What in the name of Saint Merkin have you got there you mangy cur? Give that to me! [Shouting] Now!
Sir Daniel Fortesque	[To himself] Just who is that pompous, obnoxious buffoon? ... And what is up with his teeth?
	The pompous man kicks his dog. The dog yowls.
Pompous Man	Lupo! Follow me you scabbrous mutt! We're done hunting for today!
	The man throws Dan's arm behind himself. It lands right on top of Dan's head.
Sir Daniel Fortesque	[Quietly] Ouch!
