The Wish Tournament Part 2

At dusk in the present day, Atomic is repairing his rusty old car as he listens to soothing jazz music on the radio. Atomic works on his own car slowly and delicately. For Atomic, fixing things is pure mediation for him. Atomic was feeling peaceful until Galbow’s only mailman and a sensitive obese samurai named Potluck. Potluck enters the repair shop with a hot dog in one hand and a letter in the other. Potluck is about to deliver the letter only to slip on an oil stain and crash into Atomic’s radio breaking it into a million little pieces. Potluck slowly gets up only to slip again and again like baby trying to learn how to walk. He finally gets up after his third attempt. Atomic grunts as he looks at the mess Potluck made as his mood changes from calm and peaceful, to annoyed and angry. Potluck smiles awkwardly and then tips his hat like a gentleman as he hands Atomic the letter before slowly making his way to the exit. “You’re not leaving Potluck, until you buy me a replacement radio,” yells Atomic Anderson. Potluck gets down and his knees as he pleads in tears begging Atomic to just let it go. As Atomic and Potluck begin to argue, Queen Brooke enters and opens the letter that Potluck just delivered. Queen Brooke reads the letter as a look of fright, then anger, and lastly sadness appears on her face. Queen Brooke starts to cry insanely which makes Atomic and Potluck end their argument. Atomic walks over to his wife Queen Brooke and gives her a hug. 

Atomic grabs the letter out of Queen Brooke’s hand and he then reads it himself. Queen Brooke lets out a loud roar and flips over a table. Atomic finished reading the letter and crumbles it up to the point where it didn’t become a wad or a ball, it was shredded to pieces. “I’m going after her. But first I need to stop by my father’s hideout and get his help,” cries Atomic. Atomic grabs Potluck and lifts him up to his face. Potluck gulps and begins to sweat blood as he slowly tries to reach for his sword only for his short fat arms preventing him to do so. “I’ll get you another radio Mr. Anderson, I swear,” pleads Potluck. Atomic pushes Potluck against the wall and begins to feel around in his pockets. Atomic smiles as he pulls out a pair of keys. “Forget the radio. I’m trading that in for your mail truck instead,” says Atomic. Atomic releases Potluck as he tries shakes in fear. Queen Brooke walks in between Atomic and Potluck. Queen Brooke comforts Potluck while also staring angrily at Atomic. “Atomic, apologize to Potluck. Look at what you have done to him,” says Queen Brooke. “Honey, we don’t have time for saying sorry. Our daughter’s in danger. King Dominion is holding her hostage in Kenmere City. Let’s get going to my dad’s hideout before King Dominion’s goons try to catch us,” says Atomic. Atomic storms out of his repair shop and starts up Potluck’s mail truck. Queen Brooke helps Potluck get up off the ground and then before she leaves, Potluck grabs her hand. “Wait, Mrs. Anderson. Is it true that Princess Lara is in danger?” asks Potluck. “Yes, she is in danger. Before she was kidnapped, I heard you were the last person who had seen her. Is this true?” asks Queen Brooke. Potluck lets go of Queen Brooke’s hand and he then takes a deep breath. “Look Mrs. Anderson, it’s true. I’m the last person to have seen Princess Lara. I dropped her off at the train station. She told me that she’s going to fight in The Wish Tournament. I’m sorry,” says Potluck. Queen Brooke slaps Potluck in the face harder than a diamond. Queen Brooke storms out of the repair shop. Potluck sighs and looks up to see a picture of Princess Lara on the ceiling as he feels like he's being seen from above by a heavenly angel. Potluck hears his mail truck drive off into the night and he looks out the window to see a full moon. 

Which triggers a transformation which makes Potluck’s inner beauty appear on the outside yet sadly alongside his inner demons. Inside the empty repair shop, Potluck rapidly transforms from an obese, clumsy oafish young man into the smooth, handsome, thinner, alpha male which happens to be Potluck’s literal split personality, Flynn Night. After the transformation into the stud Flynn Night is complete, he steals Atomic’s motorcycle and rides off as he begins his journey to The Ogre’s Ass pub a.k.a. The King of the Gangster’s criminal hideout to reunite with Atomic and Queen Brooke by joining them in their quest to save Princess Lara as he tries to become the hero he’s always wanted to be. As he heads over to The Ogre’s Ass, he’s not alone, as police sirens echo throughout the village as Flynn rides alongside ten police cars heading all heading to the same destination.
