(Thunder and flashing lights as all run off scared except Abanarza who is standing in centre stage)
Abanarza: (Evil laugh as smoke surrounds his feet turns to coughing as it envelops
Him)
Welcome! ………..All who dare to enter the evil world of torment, ……pain ………and ……terrible song cues (Evil laugh). I ……am the brilliant, …..The evil, Ab..ban..naaaaaaarza! (Thunder and flashing lights) I said ………. The Brilliant and evil Ab..ban..naaaaaaarza! (Boos).
High Priestess:
Almighty over lord ……..of all Walsall!….. What plans have ye for our reign of terror over the people of china?
Abanarza:
I’m glad you asked …………my High Priestess; …as soon as my trusty side kick Foo Yung gets here ….the plan will be revealed to you and all these smelly,…. nasty people (boos)
Foo Yung: (Enters in boos)
Oh come on I ain’t done anything yet!
High Priestess:
Quiet… fool! ……why are you late? ……Do you not know how long your master has waited for you? You! ….. should have been here 5 minutes ago!
Foo Yung:
Why? ….What did I miss?
Abanarza:
Hush you two! I need you to get everyone in the land to come here, ……….for this plan is my most dastardly yet (laugh) Isn’t that right sweet and sour?.
Sour: (Creeping)
Ah, master………… May I say ……… that you look particularly well today, (Looking at audience) Not like those smelly …….horrible people out there? Look at them! They haven’t even got faces their mothers could love.
Sweet:
Get off it Sour. They’re not that bad! ……..That lady there (pointing at someone in the audience) looks quite nice actually.
Abanarza:
You two …. Stop your fighting! For it’s time to reveal my plan. (Clears throat) I intend to find the cave of wonders. (Thunder) inside the cave of wonders there is an item of power so desired men have died searching for it. To lay eyes on it is to be transfixed. The item I seek is powerful; the item I seek is dangerous the item I seek is… a lamp.
High Priestess:
A lump of what?
Abanarza:
Not a Lump, a lamp!
High Priestess:
But of what?
Abanarza:
Listen you stupid woman! Not a lump …. but a lamp …… an oil lamp!
High Priestess:
What?! You think a lamp will help us in our time of need?
Foo Yung:
Maybe it will shed a bit of light on the subject.
Sour:
Hush you fool! ……..You do not deserve to speak in the presence of his magnificence, his worshipfulness, his lordlyness …. the majestically Legend that is ……..the dastardly Abanarza!
Sweet:
Don’t listen to him Foo Yung you’re more of a man then him. …………I think you’re quite funny actually.
Abanarza:
Hush! Let me finish. In this lamp there is a great power. In the hands of good it could save the planet from global warming, poverty, and Gordon Brown but in my hands all of China will tremble at my feet. Because we are evil!
Sour:
We’re wild
Sweet:
We’re bad
Foo Yung:
…….. And if that wasn’t a song cue than what is?
