The making of the Love Never Dies Remake... A Forge Bear Dalliance with insanity and Broadway....
If you do not want to get my version of the Love Never Dies recap, skip to 20;33 when prompted.
The full and final ( but unedited) script:
Open on the World’s Fair, Chicago 1893
{Under cover of darkness, a massive ship glides into the docks of the fair
Coming to settle, three strong men jump from the deck of the ship, preforming aerial stunts upon the ropes until landing upon the dock, tying the ship off, A plank lowers with the whirring of gears and swinging coils.
A demur man with a weak beard and a combover steps slowly off of the plank, holding a suitcase in his free hand as he holds dearly onto the rope of the plank.
Behind him a cloaked figure follows with slow precise steps, no need to hold the plank ropes for grace comes pretenaturally
The demur man, ( Heinrich Hertz ) finally steps off of the plank and turns}
Henreich - sung
Night in the White City
A humbling sight
A World to behold
Beneath Electric Light
The Fair shall witness
Power from a great height
For they all burn bright
But their methods shall seem trite
History we shall rewrite
As we introduce a dark knight
Into the city of white
Phantom- sung
City of White in the Night
My What a pity
Im sure in the light of day
It can appear quite pretty
A glorious spectacle
that would not admit me
I am judged to be guilty
So I hid out of pity
For that snobby committee
That would stop- Look a kitty!
Me from entering their great white city
Turning Henreich turns to look up at Phantom
Heinreich-
Mein Herr, Command me that I might change the world.
Phantom- sung
Enter into the City
This Faire of the World
My minions shall prepare your stage
Under cover of night it shall be unfurled
From my mind to your mouth
My plans shall be transferred
Never again thought absurd
They will enrapture every word
A genius you shall be conferred
As feeble minds are swirled
Once they see our inventions on the stage of the world
Heinreich - Main Herr, your genius shall save the world.
Phantom- As the Plank starts returning to the ship, Phantom hangs off of it-
No, luminescent Heinrich, Our genius shall save the world.
{Cloaked Figures emerge from stage right
All of them carrying giant crates on their shoulders
All following Heinrich as he stumbles in the dull light of the electric street lamps of the
World’s Fair
Approaching Stage Left
Two Workers are fiddling with a junction box}
Worker One- Hey Pal, watch it!
Heinrich- I am terribly sorry, mein fruend.
Worker One- It’s alright, but you look lost, you need something.
Heinrich- I am Heinrich Hertz, and seek to find my presentation space in the less formal exhibition hall.
Worker One- Ah! You an inventor ?
Heinrich- I have discovered how to draw electricity from the sun!
Worker One- Wow! So like Tesla and Edison ?
Heinrich- Nein, for while they provide the system for the electricity, I shall give it to them.
Worker One- Well ! Follow me !
{Worker Two Flips a switch and the Lights of the night erupt, the original intro of Phantom of the Opera Plays}
{All at once, at the crescendo, A man in a bowler and a suit walks on stage, unscrews bulbs and sticks her hand in the sockets. He rattles to the music until the music fades as though it and the lights are connected.
A spotlight stays on our electricity vampire until he turns around, and slides back into the shadows of the now dark city}
Scene- The World’s Fair- The Next Day
Kids Run around with giant lollipops and cotton candy
Adults dance and point at the wonders
There are signs for Tesla and Edison at opposing ends of the stage
The day is overcast but not raining yet
A carriage rolls in and opens.
Out bounds a child with a man wearing an eye patch and wooden arm
He extends his good arm and helps Christine out of the carriage.
Christine-sung to the first 3 lines of think of me from the original Phantom
Look at it
Look at the world’s fair
Humanity shall fly
Raul-sung
Witness it
Witness possibility
The future is nigh
Christine- sung
Ponder it
the world that we shall see
It will change every life that we could know
Raul-
What are we to discover
Christine-
It shall be quite a sh- OH!
Christine crashes into Heinreich Hertz
Heinreich-
Excuse me Fraline, I did not mean to cause you distress.
Christine- Pardon me, Missor. I have simply been swept up in the majesty of the White City.
Heinrich- It is quite a show to behold.
Raul- Allow me to introduce us, I am The Vacant du Chalet, Raul and my wife the viscountess Christine, and of course our son Amour
Amour- I’m Ten !
Heinreich- A pleasure. I am Heinreich Hertz, Inventor.
Christine- An Inventor you say ?
Raul- Do you bring something to the city as an offering to Columbia herself ?
Heinreich - Ja, For I and my benefactor have found a way to provide energy to all the world merely using the sun.
Amour- I’m the son!
Raul- I don’t think he meant you, dear Amour.
Heinreich- No my boy, the big star in the sky.
Christine- Solar energy for all ?
Heinreich- sung - to the tune of the Phantom of the Opera
The power of the sun
Shall change the world
The others here to stun
Shall leave sunburned
I have the way to set
The world alight
The Ph-lantropist who funds me
Will see
As I claim the night.
Both Christine and Raul look curious at one another and then at Heinreich,
Raul grabs Amour’s collar with his wooden arm and pulls him back to his parents before he wanders into the crowds behind them
Christine- shocked-
Excuse me mosiour, but that tune…
Heimreich -
Um, fauline, it is merely something I hummed in the shower this morning.
The Chorus- sung as they stop walking behind the leads - to the tune of Masquerade - a sign lights for freshly squeezed lemonade
LEMONADE !
Freshly Squeezed and home made
Lemonade
Have a glass
And let it
Refresh you
Christine - I have -
Raul- We have heard that tune before
Heinreich - It was merely a Diddy I heard on the plane….
Amour- What’s a plane
The Chorus- turning away from the leads to look back towards the rear of the stage as giant paper animals rolls by-
A PARADE!
We are quite entertained
A Parade
Watch them
Strut there stuff
Before you
Raul- You mentioned a benefactor
Christine - You said Philanthropist
Heinreich - I really must be going
Raul - and the song you sang
Christine- have you ever been to the theater in Paris ?
Amour- Does Cotton candy exist yet?
The Chorus -
It’s Charades !
A mime acting quite afraid
Some Charades
It’s bad acting
Right in front of you
Christine - Who is your Financier ?
Raul - Do you know Eric ?
Heinreich- I MUST GO. THERE IS A WORLD TO SAVE.
Christine- Save from what
Heinreich runs off stage right
Christine falls into Rauls arms
Amour wanders back on stage with the Elephant from the Parade on a leash
A Man from the crowd pulls a light from a socket stage right and sticks his hand into it
The lights of everything flicker as the crowd runs and the stage goes dark
All at once it rains ferociously
Christine and Raul stand center stage
Christine - sung
He still lingers in the shadows just behind
The Chorus-
Who has stolen our light
Raul - sung
A bloodthirsty wraith who learned to be kind
The Chorus-
What caused the city go dark?
Christine-
A ghost intertwined
The Chorus-
We are draped into night
Raul -
A spectre unkind
The Chorus-
What monster stole the power
Christine-
Who will forevermore haunt
Raul-
Our hearts and our minds
The Chorus-
Someone has stolen our spark
{The Chorus walks off stage to the left being careful not to trip
Raul and Christine follow the footlights off the left
Amour pulls the elephant song with him }
{Finally withdrawing his hand from the socket,
H.H. Holmes holds up the build he pulled out and it lights
He giggles maniacally holding it aloft}
H.H.Holmes-
Oh the White City
Your light and life is mine
I shall live for ever
My power is divine
So sweet it’s electric
And it all will be mine
{H.H.Holmes cackles as he wanders into the
Rain, thunder and lightning making him stop and smile for a moment
All at once the stage is empty}
{Heinreich wanders from stage right back towards the center of the stage,
His light still aloft
He goes to turn and the Phantom is there
Grabbing the light
Concealing it beneath his cloak}
Heinreich- sung
He is here, my lord
Phantom- sung-
So he found us again at last
{The elephant wanders through the background}
Heinreich-
We are nearly prepared
Phantom-
My patience has passed
{Amour is left behind as the elephant waters off stage and Amour waves}
Heinreich-
Your rematch is certain
Phantom-
The fatal die has been cast
{Amour notices the two men singing and wanders to the side of the stage to see who they are}
Heinreich-
Tomorrow shall see Holmes die
Phantom-
My victory is forecast
{Standing there, Amour squints at them}
Heinreich-
Your Phantoms are rock steady
Phantom-
My nerves are quite peppy
Heinreich-
The device is all ready
Phantom-
My next act shall be deadly
Heinreich-
For he is here, my lord
Amour-
Hey, your that guy from mom’s past !
Phantom -
Merde.
~End Act 1~
Act 2
opens in the Sciences pavilion
The stage is divided between the raised platform for the Tesla stage
And the raised platform for the Edison stage
In the back resides an unlit stage for Hertz and a pillar
Tesla & half the crowd-
AC!
Edison & the other half of the crowd-
DC!
Tesla-

I shall spare you alliterating

In the space between we can see several cloaked figures moving about the Hertz stage}
Tesla-

Edison -
Tesla thinks not of the chaos he’ll bring
{The animosity of the crowds continue to rise through dances and swelling of music
Flailing across the center of the stage, but never obscuring the small stage in the back}
The shadowed figures
Tesla-
Alternating versus Direct
The riches that they wish to collect
While keeping their boot on your neck
Such greed should always be put in check
Edison-
Direct versus Alternating
Americans wouldn’t be debating
Such talk weakens us and we are waiting
For you to just shut up, your aggravating
{The outburst get more violent yet still stay contained, while Hertz emerges onto stage from the right, right before being handed a cylinder from a cloaked phantom, who sees Christine, Raul, and Amour come in an observe the proceedings from stage left. Hertz walks downtime center of the divide calmly and cooly, stepping up the stairs onto his stage and moves to a panel where he will insert the cylinder and flip the switch}

NONE OF YOU VERMIN DESERVE MY LIGHT
{A massive pillar of light turns on silently when Hertz flips a switch, the orchestra swells at the power shown. The two crowds quiet and Hertz straightens his tie and begins to address the crowds in a reprise of the tune from “Here’s to us” from the original }
Hertz-
Mine Herr and Dearest Fraulein
I welcome you to my show
I shall articulate
While I demonstrate
Solar power
And how it will
Undoubtedly
Definitively
Postiviley
Give Power to you all
Now each cell can keep a house warm
And provide each with unlimited power
While not needing all the wire
Or feeding the desire
Of fat cats
Who wish
To charge you
For the right to live your life.
H.H. Holmes Stands on the giant light behind Hertz-
Plunging his hand into the light it dims and dies
The crowd grows scared
Holmes- sung
Life ?!!?
LIFE ?!?!
You think you are deserving
You think you should live
Your life and your energy
It all will feed me
The corrupt and the sainted
The deified and the damned
Life !
It’s Electric!
You want to keep yours
I see it in your faces
Fall to your knees
And I shall-
{ The lights flicker, Hertz slinks away, the crowds cower, H.H.Holmes stands triumphant until at last a laser hits him in the chest. All once, from the back of the theater, A figure flies in via jetpack,
Phantom -
The trap I layed for you
Has fallen shut
Awkward my exe is here
To watch me kick your butt
But such is the case
So we shall see
The Phan
Tom of the White City
Shall end
Your eternity
{ Phantom lands on stage and the steampunk jetpack flies off and hits Edison square in the chest
Holmes leaps from the massive pillar and engages in a slow motion fight in the background with Phantom as
Christine, Raul, and Amour stand watching. A shimmering doorway appears and Tesla steps through it, it closes behind him.}
Amour-
See Mother there he is
I told you so
And all it took
Was that elephant I stole
That’s that guy you talked about
When dad is gone
The Phan
Tom I thought you said his name was Eric
I might be wrong
{ The overdramatic fight between Holmes and Phantom continues in slow motion. Eye gouging, head butting, and a knees to the testicles can be witnessed. Holmes knocks the laser gun out of Phantom’s hand.}
Christine-
I tried to get a gig
At the worlds fair
Who thought that that old creep
Would show up there
Let alone with lasers
And a jetpack
The Phan
Tom of the World Fair
Really Eric
It’s kind of whack
{ Christine pushes Amour towards Raul, and engages in the slow motion fisticuffs as well, clotheslining Holmes and swinging a punch that Holmes ducks only to punch Phantom in the face. Phantom gets Holmes In a headlock while Christine fishes a pistol out of her handbag}
Raul-
I lost a limb and eye
To a were sloth
Now I’m dealing with this
On my day off
I’m gonna beat these tools
And get some chocolate
Cause Eric
Not calling you phantom
Is this level of creeper
AH! GODS ! IVE BEEN SHOT!
{ Christine went to shoot Holmes but Holmes kicked the gun, causing Christine to shoot Raul. In the confusion, Holmes slips away from Phantom and runs off. Raul collapses into Christines arms. Amour stands confused and scared. Phantom runs up, throwing an orb on the stage, and all 4 disappear. }
-End Act 2-
Act 3- Interior, Floating Steamship above the World’s Fair. A winch pulls and the four find themselves in the belly of a ship that is flying above the fair. The ship is powered by some sort of glowing orb where a regular steam engine should be and is flying due to massive clusters of hydrogen balloons. A tank with a dolphin sits in the corner, characters stand all around and watch as the four tumble onto the deck which has now closed. Human animal hybrids, robot people, clowns, and all manner of people can be seen. In the upper left of the hold, Richard Nixon can be seen in a cage.
Eric-
Brethren
Take heed
Raul is in need
He has been mortally wounded
Ask not who has done this vicious deed
Christine-
Raul
Stay with me
Live and you shall see
That you have nothing to fear
For the phantom and I are not a we .
Raul-
Seriously
Eric ive been shot
I wish this didn’t happen a lot
I think if I live through this we will have to talk
Because working with you has been less than hot.
Christine- Working with you
Eric - Good to see you
Christine- Working with you
Eric- We were going to tell you
Christine- WORKING WITH YOU
Eric- All of you shoo !
{ The stage clears as the menagerie whisks Raul to the infirmary. Christine woo saa’s while Eric walks Amour over to meet the dolphin}
Christine- Talk Porcelain Puss.
Eric-
So
Christine
You look real good
Christine- Nope
Erric-
Have you been working out much
Christine-
Now
Eric-
So Raul sought me out when broke
And I helped him make loads of dough
It was the least I could do I suppose
Though I insisted it be under your nose
Christine- Men
Eric-
Welcome to the Realm above the clouds.
You reside in the kingdom of oddity and shrouds
We exist here free of the world that would call us freaks
We excel in sciences, art, and everyone speaks
With their minds
Christine-
You have built a kingdom in the sky
A sanctuary for you heavens high
Can your science save my love my one truest love
I would see him and my son safe in this kingdom above
Then I’ll speak my mind.
Amour- Hey momma, this is Renaldo the telepathic dolphin
Christine- That’s nice dear.
Amour- he says that dad’s gonna be okay.
Christine- Uh huh.
Amour- and that I shall witness the collapse of humanity as.i walk the wastes of doomed civilization only to find companionship with him in the oceans of a dead earth.
Christine- Eric and I have to talk honey, you play safe with Roberto.
Renaldo- Utilizing a brain in a jar which flashes when he squeaks, and decodes his thoughts through a gramophone horn-
It’s Renaldo, lady!
Christine- Eric.
Eric- Angel of Musi-
Christine- ZIP IT! Explain.
Eric- signing-
Nighttime.
Beckons-
Christine-
SPOKEN. NOT SUNG.
Eric-
Okay.
I have built the Icarus to save those like me, to offer them a home.
We have built a scientifically focused socialist democracy that has advanced science, music, art, and medicine, by decades if not centuries. We have sold what we could to fund our existence, Hertz serving as the voice amongst you as he is the most … human looking.
Christine- Is Hertz not…
Eric- Heireich Hertz physically died two years ago. I was able to reanimate him using a meteorite I dug up and a potato.
Christine- oh. interesting.
Eric- The world’s fair was our opportunity to secure our future, while simultaneously saving humanity from its dependence on coal. But the wealth of electrical power was enough to attract Holmes.
Christine- the door in the bowler hat?
Eric- Yup. Holmes is a vicious murderer and an energy vampire. I have fought him on several occasions and have even captured him, only to have him escape before I could destroy him .
Christine- And how doe Raul factor into all of this?
Eric- Raul has been one of my operatives. I have a network of people in positions of power with skills that might benefit the Kingdom of Clouds. In exchange, I manipulate the markets to benefit them, give them vast wealth that I have been able to extract from the depths of the ocean, or simply turn lead into gold and give it to them to pay them.
Christine- wow.
Eric- after we broke up, I devoted my time to my work. I’m kinda sorta a genius and some junk.
Christine- Clearly.
Eric- Thus we find ourselves here.
Amour-
Renaldo can sense the vampire.
Christine- That’s nice honey.
Eric- I was trying to give you guys the space you needed
Given our last meeting was … awkward.
So I worked to better myself and the others like me.
Christine- good to hear you have been doing okay.
Eric- Raul says you’re doing amazing work.
Christine- I get by.
Eric- I’m happy.
Christine- So can I see my husband?
{Gargantuous the Gorilla- A Gorilla in a lab coat- wheels a sheet covered bed out onto stage}
Gargantous- singing-
Witness your husband
Better than ever
A creature of science
Unlike any other
A perfect balance of man and machine
See your husband
More alive and strong
A cyborg- the first one
Yet he looks like he will belong
A perfect humanoid robot my greatest dream
{ The sheet is pulled off and Raul sits up looking fully restored, no wooden arm or eyepatch }
Raul- sung-
I live
I’m super
Im a man
Of the future
Im more than flesh
I’m a living computer
Christine-sung-
You live
You are whole
The bullet I couldn’t control
Forgive my love
Such was never my goal
Eric runs onto the rafter that overlooks the storage bay.
Eric -
My people of the Kingdom of the Sky
We have worked to preserve our peace
And so today we shall do that
While destroying one who threatens all of the world
Such is what I promised you
And such it shall be
For I shall not fail you
You are all angels to me.
- Song about the Nullifier HERE -
Eric- sung-
Now you have your husband back,
All falls into place
We must drain Mr. Holmes
And launch him into our space
This is not a war
But we are caught in a race
To deny him deification
He is a plague that we must erase.
Raul- sung-
Let it be done my friend
Let us destroy this fiend
We must capture H.H.Holmes
And drain this archfiend
This is our quest
Our powers must be teamed
Through the destruction of him
You will finally be redeemed
Christine- sung
Summon your minions
Call your kin
We shall need all your people
To finally trap him
With some sort of contraption
Are you sure you can win
H.H. Holmes will be destroyed
For every single sin
Chorus - And so we go
Eric - To defeat this monster
Chorus- With all those we know
Raul- To dethrone a malicious immortal
Chorus- Before his power can grow
Christine- To give the world some peace
Amour- I’m a psychic symbiote for Renaldo !
Christine- What wait?!?
Eric - Oh no.
Chorus- In the 4th act of the show.
Act 3 ends-
Act4 - Exterior The White City boardwalk in the rain.
{The rain and thunder takes the night over in the White City as Hertz runs across the stage. H.H. Holmes pursues while chuckling to himself.
Hertz and Holmes are seen running across the stage at different directions and at different elevations.
Holmes finally catches Hertz in the center of the stage.}
Holmes- sung
Come now morsel
Don’t be shy
You shall feed me
The engine that preserves you
Shall give what I crave
Come now snack
Don’’t you fight
You shall nourish me
I shall ascend ever higher
You shall rest in a grave.
A spotlight engulfs Holmes and Hertz
All other lights go dark
Holmes drops Hertz and spins within the pillar of light.
Chorus- sung to music of the night-
We have come to claim you
Holmes- You freaks again.
Chorus- We have come to stop you
Holmes- None of you can face me alone
Chorus- We are not alone
{ Raul leaps across the spotlight punching Holmes in the face }
{ Christine steps into the spotlight to zap him with another laser }
{ Amour runs up and kicks Holmes in the shin }
{ One at a time the citizens of the Icarus provide different glancing blows from the shadows. Fins, tentacles, headbutts, folding chairs, until he has fallen.}
Holmes- FACE ME LIKE A MAN.
Eric- You are no man and neither am I .
{Eric and Holmes engage in mortal combat, Christine and Raul diving into the fray on occasion, the four tussle uncontrollably until finally they crash through the set behind them. Almost simultaneously, at a showing of “Merlin” during the “ Satan Rules “ musical number. Raul and Eric wrestle Holmes to center stage. Christine steps through the set. Amour stands in the busted through opening observing.
Sorceress- The Phantom of the Opera is there
Merlin- Where?
Fergus- In our throne room
Sorceress - Eric!
Eric- The Evil Sorceress! I knew I would catch you eventually
Fergus looking cpnfused- You know each other!
Sorceress- He traps me in a quartz cell in 2002 under the Vince Lombardi rest stop in New Jersey.
Eric- I’ve never been to New Jersey
Christine- And it’s only 1893.
Raul- Wait when are we?
Fergus- 1174.
Holmes- I can smell the something….so similar… to ….electricity.
Eric- Not so fast Holmes !
Holmes - I shall kill you and then live like a king in this place!
Sorceress- Not if I kill him first!
Raul Jumping on The Sorceresses back- Unhand him you unholy fiend!
{The pile duke it out in an insane and frankly unsportsmanlike fashion, meanwhile Christine and Fergus are talking.
Amour slowly climbs in the set}
Merlin’s Chorus- sung
The night was full of rage
A struggle for power
Titans clashed in the night
For near an hour
But soon a victor
Would win the night
The Phantom of the Icarus has triumph
Within his sight
{The 4 tussle, Merlin standing back, until at last the floor gives way beneath them, and they tumble downward.
Christine - It was so nice to meet you.
Feergus- Likewise.
Christine- Come along, Amour, we must retrieve your father.
{ All at once, From the ceiling of “Spiderman Turn off the Dark , the four men tumble down, into webs of Arachne, during the “Sinistero” musical number when Spiderman is fighting the Sinister Six. The Battle Stops. Regaining their footing takes some time }
Green Goblin - Eric !
Eric- Yes?
Green Goblin- It is I, Norman Osborn ! I don’t know how you regained your youth but I have gained far more power since last we met!
Eric- I’m sorry, but I don’t know you
Green Goblin- But I know you, your The Pha-
Sorceress- I gotcha { jumping on Eric’s b ack and punching him in the head!}
Raul - Unhand him! { Raul punches The Sorceress in the face}
Holmes- UNLIMITED POW-
Eric- Not today! { Eric drop kicks Holmes }
Green Goblin- Sinister Six! Attack!
Eric- What the hell is that !
Swiss Miss- I am your destruction !
Spiderman- Tone it down, Swiss Army Wife.
{ The Sinister Six, Spiderman, The Sorceress, Eric, Raul, and Holmes all get into an absurd exchange of fight choreography. Arachne lowers Christine and Amour to the stage and lingers while talking to Amour. Christine begins to take aim at Homes but can’t see clearly amidst the ongoing battle}
Spiderman Turn off the Dark Chorus- sung-
The weapon Christine holds
Shall steal immortality
It siphons off the life
Weakening Holmes indefinitely
To see the monster fall
And cast into space
The Android of the Icarus faces his nemesis
Laying him to waste
{ The Battle Drags on until the entirety of the combatants, in a massive ruck, go through stage right, immediately emerging onto the set of Lestat. Claudia was amidst the song “I want more” just in time to see a pile of figures tumble into the middle of the stage }
Green Goblin- Lestat!
Lestat- Eric !
Eric- Holmes!
Raul - Sorceress!
Amour- Father!
Christine- You men are driving me mad !
Swiss Miss- Excuse me.
The Sorceress- Not Nice, lady.
Christine- No offense dears, but you very obviously are serving the patriarchy.
Swiss Miss- Ah! Well… I …
Claudia- That one { points at Holmes} will quench my thirst.
{ Claudia dives at Holmes, who tumbles backwards and fights her, meanwhile Eric tries to help Claudia drink Holmes, while The Sorceress returns to beating Eric. Raul pulls The Sorceress off of Eric only for Green Goblin to replace The Sorceress. Lestat goes at Eric, only to be punched by Goblin, while the sinister six are getting beat by Spiderman. Swarm slams into Christine who drops the nulifier, only for Amour to pick it up. When Christine gets up she finds herself standing next to the doorway where Louie enters}
Louie- What the hell is happening?!?!
Christine- You have a lovely home.
{ The scuffle continues, Holmes holding Claudia by the throat while trying to grab electro, for he is the best source of power in this era. }
The Lestat Chorus- sung
This fight drags on a bit
And goes quite mad
The combatants grow tired
And endurance is sad
But in a moment of weird
Nothing goes right
Amour has the nullifier
And Holmes is in his sights
{ The Entire Fight Trips and falls back through the hole they had made into “ The Moose Murders “ just as the Mummy of Sidney Holloway kicks the moose costumed intruder in the groin.}
Mummy of Sidney- H.H.Holmes!
Holmes- Sidney Holloway ?!?!
Claudia- Dinner!
{ Claudia returns to trying to eat Holmes , who reaches for Electro.
Eric- Raul, Holmes has the electric man!
{ Raul tries to get to Holmes as Holmes drains electro }
Raul- Eric, I can’t reach him!
{ Claudia sinks her teeth into Holmes }
Spiderman- Where the hell are we?
Green Goblin- The place you will di-
{ The Sorceress punches Green Goblin in the face}
Spiderman- Thank you !
{ Electro in one wild flailing arc tries to hit Spiderman with electricity, only to hit The Sorceress who slams into the outstretched nullifier in Amour’s hand, and instantly electricity can be seen draining from Claudia, into Holmes, into Electro, through The Sorceress, and then into Amour. }
Christine- Amour !
{The Battle continues to rage as the power continues to run upstream into Amour. Claudia falls to the floor human once more. Holmes follows her also human again. Electro drains the last of his power intoThe Sorceress who seems to disintegrate, all of it somehow through the nullifier seeps into Amour. a massive eruption of energy bursts from Amour knocking the combatants of the massive battle onto the floor. Amour is wreathed in blue crackling light as he hovers over the stage, then falls limp.}
The Cast of Moose Murders ducking around scenery as the Chorus- sung
This is quite
The plot twist
Who saw it coming
The boy has Holmes’ and Claudia’s and Electro’s power
With which he’s humming
Holmes shall run away
Eric, Raul and Christine hypothesize
The world is safe once Holmes is merely human
For Amour never dies
Christine- My dear boy! { running to Amour }
Amour - Mother { the boy starts to get up }
Raul- Amour, my dearest son!
Amour- Father.
Swiss Miss- At last, you shall pay for your insolence, woman !
{ Amour waves his hand and Swiss Miss evaporates, Amour begins to levitate out of his mother’s grasp }
Christine looks at her son with concern- Amour ?
{ Eric and Spiderman end up back to back as all the remaining evildoers lay unconscious at their feet. The two men stand and shake each others hands}
Eric- Well, it was a pleasure meeting you Spiderman, what shall you do now ?
Spiderman- I’m going to leave these losers webbed up and call the local cops.
Mummy of Sidney- NO COPS ONLY MUMMY JUSTICE
Spiderman- Ohhhkay
Amour [ his voice resonating] - NO NEED FOR THAT, FOR WITH A WAVE OF MY CHILD LIKE HAND I RETURN ALL TO THEIR PROPER TIME AND PLACE.
{Spiderman and His Villains Fade. Lestat and Louie cradling Claudia’s unconscious body fades. H.H.Holmes slowly stands }
Amour - AND YOU H.H.HOLMES. YOUR SHALL BE SENT TO SERVE A FITTING SENTENCE AS A SANITATION WORKER NAMED GABRIEL FINN IN THE YEAR 2972. YOU SHALL NOT REMEMBER YOUR LIFE. YOU SHALL NOT REMEMBER YOUR POWER. YOU SHALL MERELY EXIST OUT UPON THE COLONY OF VIA GALACTICA.
{ A portal opens up behind Holmes, who slowly is being pulled backwards into it}
Holmes { straining } - what gives you the right to condemn me who was once a god?
Amour- I am he who was always to be. Even now I am not in this moment, yet a fraction of me curses you to live your days in the void of space that i rule over, from my throne upon the black mountain, as the koala watches all and judges my actions to be righteous.
Holmes - No.
Amour- your protests are merely a true testament to the weakling you always were.
{ Holmes is stretched atom by atom into the void behind him. A blubbering whimper the last thing of him that remains in this time and space}
Amour- AND AS FOR US.
{ Amour lands back on his feet and the blue glow dissapates }
Amour - can we go home now? I’d really like some more cotton candy….
Christine- W…well of course, sweetie.
Raul- we best be sure not to ruin supper, young man.
Amour- I exist outside of time now, dad. I’m not young.
Raul- Ah. Wonderful.
Eric- So, what are you, young Amour?
Amour- I’m a kid. But also I exist in all times and dimensions simultaneously as a weaver of the strands of fate. Arachne knew me , mommy.
Christine - you mean the nice spider goddess.
Amour- Yup.
{ A portal opens up in front of them }
Raul- So, all this happened…
Amour- because I needed it to. In order to become what I was always meant to be. The me that has always been changed our lives and the lives of all those others we met so that I could become who I have always been.
Christine- Uh huh.
Amour- I know it’s pretty weird mother, but look on the bright side, in the original timeline, I was the result of an affair you had with THE Phantom of the Opera
Raul- Dear god
Amour - 8 times in one night.
Eric- So weird.
Christine- I know, right?!?! Can You imagine.
{ They all step through the portal, and it closes. The Mummy and the intruder still holding his crotch are the only two people left until Amour walks back onto stage}
Amour- I nearly forgot { snaps fingers }
{ The whole of the Moose Murders set and it’s cast get sucked off opposite ends of the stage until there is nothing. It all ended up in a wormhole. }
Amour- All cleaned up .
{ A portal opens at the far middle of the stage and Amour walks thorough it as the curtain closes}
