FADE IN:
INT. CASTLE BEDROOM - NIGHT
An ancient Gandalf lays in a large bed, an empty space next
to him where another would have lain. On the wall is a large
painting of a younger looking Gandalf, with his arm around
the late King Harold. Stood between them is a young blonde
boy, a dagger on his belt. The laying Gandalf stares at the
ceiling, a wistful look on his face.
A knight bursts in, looking alarmed.
KNIGHT
(out of breath)
Your highness!
Gandalf sits up in his bed, frowning.
GANDALF
What is it?
KNIGHT
There's an attack happening at
the kingdom walls!
GANDALF
Who is it? The fairytale villains
back for more?
KNIGHT
No, sir, it's the Udon.
Gandalf looks shocked, thinking back to his battle with the
Udon.
GANDALF
The Udon are supposed to be dead!
My husband defeated them years
ago!
KNIGHT
They appear to be back, sir, but
that's not the worst of it.
GANDALF
What more could be going wrong?
KNIGHT
It's the Prince. He's gone to
fight the Udon alone, and he's
locked all the knights' horses
away. Nobody can find the key!
GANDALF
Hand me my staff!
Gandalf pulls away his covers, slowly sliding his legs off
the edge of the bed and placing them on the floor. The knight
hesitantly hands him his staff from the corner of the room.
KNIGHT
You can't be thinking of going
after him, Sir? Your strongest
years are far behind you.
GANDALF
(solemnly)
I need to.
Gandalf takes the staff, his robes magically manifesting over
himself, finishing with his wizard hat.
He's my son.
EXT. FAR FAR AWAY FOREST - NIGHT
GANDALF (CONT'D)
In the same forest where his magical father had once fought
the Udon, the young prince Finn faces off against the giant
noodles. In one hand he wields a magical shield, and in the
other he holds a glowing sword. Inscribed across the blade is
the name, 'Excalibur'.
UDON
MSG! MSG! MSG!
One of the noodles slams towards Finn, but he dives to the
side, narrowly dodging the impact. He scrambles to his feet,
slashing Excalibur across the noodle and leaving it in two
limp pieces.
FINN
How's that for a chop-stick?!
The noodles pause, their ends pointing towards him.
CUT TO:
2.
UDON
MSG?
FINN
Okay, yeah, I get that it kinda
sucks, quips were more my
father's thing.
The Udon shake their heads, before multiple noodles shoot
towards Finn at high speed. He holds up his shield, blocking
the hit but being knocked to his feet.
A smaller noodle shot out at his side, grabbing the handle of
Excalibur and throwing it aside. More noodles press down upon
Finn, slowly pushing the shield lower down his body and
exposing his terrified face.
The largest noodle looms over Finn, opening up as if to
consume him. It lowered down, before being hit by an orange
blast from the darkness of the trees and vanishing.
The other noodles stop attacking Finn, turning towards where
the blast had come from.
Then, emerging from the darkness comes Gandalf, holding up
his staff.
GANDALF
(smug)
You're overcooked.
FINN
Father!
MSG!
UDON
Gandalf flips over the noodles like a Jedi, landing by
Excalibur. He picks it up with his free hand and slices
through all the noodles holding Finn to the ground. His staff
glows blue, and Finn is picked up off the ground by a
similarly-coloured aura.
He hands the sword to Finn, laughing.
GANDALF
You've bitten off a little more
than you can chew, Finn. Luckily,
I have a big appetite.
3.
FINN
Let's finish them off for good,
Father. For Dad!
GANDALF
(nodding)
For Harold.
The two of them run towards the remaining noodles in slow
motion, Gandalf's staff emitting a bright white light that
matches Excalibur. They shout, ready to defeat the Udon once
and for all.
THE END
CUT TO BLACK
