Transcript[]
[Tet Tower 49 launchpad. Tech 49 Jack Harper, seated in the cockpit of his VTOL, preps for launch.]
Jack Harper: This is Jack Harper. I'm good to go.
[Victoria "Vika" Olsen, working on the controls in her mission command room, picks up a signal.]
Victoria "Vika" Olsen: Jack. Something crashlanded nearby. Don't take any chances there. It's just 2 more weeks 'til we can join the others.
[Jack pulls the lever, and the VTOL takes off for the crashlanded object, descending from Tower 49 to what once was the Northeast Megalopolis, USA.]
Jack: [Narrator] 60 years ago, the Earth was attacked by aliens. We won the war, but Earth was destroyed. So... really, I... guess we kinda lost the war. Anyway, everyone was evacuated, leaving only me here to clean up.
[Northeast Megalopolis crash site. WALL-E, with the plant in the shoe, was taking a stroll, minding his own business, when Jack's VTOL lands on him, reducing him to scrap metal. Jack disembarks the VTOL and finds a cryopod, bathed in light flames.]
Jack: I found a wreckage. [The cryopod knocks.] There seems to be something alive in here...
[Jack opens up the cryopod, revealing... Po?]
Po: Uh, do you have any food?
Jack: (Confused) Huh?
[WHAM! Po's mighty kick sends Jack flying to the ground. Po jumps out of the pod in style, then lands with a heavy thump.]
Po: And that is for not greeting me with dumplings.
[Title: POblivion]
[Scavenger Underground Base. A spotlight turns on, shining on Jack, bound to a chair. Waking up from his kung fu kick-induced coma, Jack scans his surroundings...]
Jack: Where am I?
Master Shifu: I've been watching you, Jack.
[Enter Master Shifu, weaing tinted glasses and holding a lamp.]
Master Shifu: You're curious. You want to know the truth.
Jack: No, I don't. I can't handle it!
Master Shifu: They lie to you. The Earth isn't abandoned. It's been repopulated with talking Kung Fu animals.
[Two more spotlights turn on, revealing Po and the Furious Five: Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane.]
Po: Right. And when you "lost the battle", we animals learned to talk [practices his punches] and do Kung Fu so we wouldn't suffer the same fate.
Jack: I guess it's a good explanation for the world of Kung Fu Panda.
Po: Yeah, right? It kinda works.
Master Shifu: But the flying gun robots you've been maintaining... are actually built to destroy us.
[Just then, like on cue, through the wall bursts a Tet Drone, guns up and ready to kill.]
Tet Drone: Hi, y'all. I'm lookin' up through "Animal Exterminator". Y'all want some sweet tea?
[Po quickly unties Jack, and both make a run for it.]
Master Shifu: Run! They're here to kill us! ... And the tea's not that good. [Zips outta here]
[The Furious Five fall back in furious panic as the two Tet Drones spit lead on them, autocannons blazing. Cut to outside. Jack and Po run to the VTOL, its cockpit opening for Jack as he climbs in.]
Jack: Uhh, there's not really a backseat, so... [climbs into cockpit.]
Po: No, it's fine! I fit...
[Po, due to his sheer volume, struggles to fit in the VTOL's bubble cockpit, eventually going in with a pop, cramping Jack in the process. The cockpit door closes and the VTOL takes off, bumping into a debris piece behind it. The VTOL flies through a canyon, scraping its wing on the stone wall due to Po's weight, with the Tet drones in hot pursuit.]
Po: They're gaining on us! Turn left!
Jack: (groaning) I am turning left.
Po: No, MY left!
[Po starts pushing buttons]
Jack: We're facing the same direction!
