The Peace City The Sparticle Mystery

We're on a race to the Quantum Nexus to bring back the adults.

-I don't want them back!

-I don't want the adults back any more than you.

Serena's Fizzy's deputy.

Argh!

-I've come to help you bring back my mum.

-Rocky, you're in the tribe.

Holly found a sword, our next clue. We go after that sword.

-But we've no idea which way to go.

-Yes, we do. We follow the ley line.

This fish symbol is the next clue.

'You are now entering Peace City. This is a weapon-free zone.

'all vehicles will be searched for weapons prior to entry.

'Prepare to stop.'

Out.

OK.

-"All seized weapons will be destroyed".

-How's Rocky doing, Liam?

He's well in there as a weapons collector.

Whose mad idea was it to rely on Rocky?

I hope we made the right call about the fish symbol on the sword

being the next clue or we've been following the River Artos

from the White Horse for nothing.

-I am right. I know I am.

-Modesty's not your middle name, is it?

I mean... Look!

Holly, it's the fish symbol. Watermint Mill, next stop.

It's just beyond Peace City.

When the Candy Cruiser arrives

and Rocky confiscates the sword from Holly and Serena...

Then we'll have the next clue in the hunt for the Quantum Nexus.

Gotcha!

They're here.

Popcorn to Lemon Meringue. Target sorted.

We're not carrying any weapons.

-Who are you?

-Wolfie Greenham, senior weapons inspector.

Please exit the vehicle. The very...pink...vehicle.

Up against the car. Both of you.

This checkpoint has been set up to stop weapons being carried

through to Peace City.

-So we're arms smugglers? Please!

-We're acting on a tip-off.

Happy now? Or perhaps you'd like us to spend a night in the cells?

-HORN

-Hurry up!

-He's letting them go.

-But Rocky's got the sword, right?

-No. Looks like he couldn't find it.

-What?!

-HORN

-Come on!

What?! My belt's magnetic?!

-Popcorn to Lemon Meringue.

-Lemon Meringue receiving. Come in.

Rocky's got the sword!

-Ha-ha! Good man!

-Great news, Popcorn!

I knew Rocky could pull it off.

Let's just hope the real Wolfie Greenham doesn't turn up to

spoil the party.

Wolfie Greenham, Senior Weapons Inspector?!

What is he doing?

Look, Frankie. Quick!

It's a compass needle. It's pointing the way to the Quantum Nexus.

No!

No! They're taking the sword to Peace City to destroy it!

-Fire up the Sparty van.

-Treasure on the move.

Treasure on the move.

Every day in every way, just a little bit weirder.

We've got to catch them and get the silver back.

"Dangerous, the Sparticles.

"Large van, carrying five or more members."

'Sparty van registration BK51 GVN,

'transporting dangerous escaped prisoners

'from the busy capital zone.

'Wanted by Fizzy.

'Wanted by...me.'

'Welcome to Peace City.

'Weapons collectors will be undertaking spot checks today.

'Your cooperation is appreciated.

'Delicate announcement.

'Would Ernesto Guevara

'please report to the council chamber immediately.'

Where is he, then? Where's Ernesto?

Probably stirring up another revolution.

Better not be in one of my zones.

The trouble with Ernesto is,

he has no respect for authority.

That's why he's leader of the rebels.

He's getting in my way of UK domination.

Sadiq, I feel a strong pull.

It's coming from there, where the sword went.

Or it could be the sword that's magnetised her heart.

The sword you lost.

Maybe it's you losing things.

'Calling Fizzy!'

You're a...?

-'Calling Emperor Fizzy!'

-Yeah?

War persons, welcome

to the first annual Peace City trade summit.

-In the year of our emp...

-LOUD KNOCKING

Come in, Ernesto.

Oh.

HE WHISPERS

I've got a matters urgent.

It's OK. You don't need to ask permission to go to the toilet.

Not that, you over-promoted pin cushion!

The Sparticles have been sighted entering the city,

and I want to round them up,

so I'll need back my confiscated weapons.

When you exit the city and not before.

We're in the right place, Sadiq.

Course we are.

We're following an old sword,

we're following a human satnav along a ley line,

oh, it's SO sorted(!)

I don't like it when your voice goes like that.

It's called sarcasm.

I don't understand it.

I know you don't, Reese.

I forget sometimes it's tough for you being different.

I mean, no.

Special.

Sadiq, I can feel a real hotspot. The sword is in Peace City.

The Quantum Nexus could be right there, in Peace City, too.

The Sparticles are dangerous prisoners

who escaped from MY capital zone.

I'm sorry, your Fizzness,

but it's against the Peace City constitution.

Not now, it isn't.

You're fired!

What?!

You gave me Peace City as a present

for cooperating with the empire.

Now I'm taking it back.

You can't take back presents.

I can do whatever I like.

I'm Emperor FIZZY.

Look at that!

Time to hide the Sparty van!

Everything about it is wrong!

Especially my nose!

Tell me my nose is not that big!

"Wanted. Alive only.

"Reward per Sparticle..."

ALL: One million fizzies?!

But we're close to something. A powerful force.

It's called the Dims!

Every kid will be able to bag a fortune!

That's six mil! Some price tag.

If we go into Peace City, we risk being caught and...

If we don't, we could miss the Quantum Nexus.

Something's pulling me in there, Sadiq. It's like a magnet!

OMG...look!

What are you talking about?

Him, on the poster!

There, Dee-Diddly Deadpants.

THEY SCREAM

Hey, Dee, man.

We've been hired to entertain the traders in there,

How about a featured breakout?

You're asking me to dance?

It'll be massive.

Girl?

I hope your routine's tight, missy.

SHE SCREAMS

I have to bring my dresser, though.

Sure, Dee-Diddly, that's sick.

It's over there, the hotspot!

It's under that archway.

Reese, try to blend in. Do it like a dude.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Make you dance until you stop

# Put your hands up in the air Wave them like you just don't care

# And that is how it goes... #

That acid would dissolve anything.

There it is.

SHE LAUGHS

Reese, there's the sword.

# Blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah-blah. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Get with the beat, Deadpants!

CROWD: We want Deadpants!

We want Deadpants!

We want Deadpants!

DRUMROLL AND CHEERING

-Serena, I know him!

-You've never seen him before.

Let's concentrate on getting the sword back.

CHEERING

DANCE MUSIC

# Where you at? Where you at?

# Where you at? Where you at?

# Show me, show me... #

CHEERING

# Get your hands up... #

Told you I know him.

Never knew Sadiq could throw shapes like that, though.

Argh!

Sorry.

Hey, look at this!

Oi, I'll have that sword.

Is that your job, emptying the bins?

Wish it was.

We'd have Fizzy's proper food to eat.

Sadiq, we have to go after the grass.

Something's tugging at me...here.

It's too dangerous, we'll be spotted by a bounty hunter.

Everybody's been looking at those posters.

Dee-Diddly! Wicked move, man!

Totally sick.

Sadiq, we have to go over there.

No-one will spot us if we stick with the Sapphirellas.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

What about our petition to be paid as refuse collectors?

We're starving!

Head down, Reese.

We need to earn a living wage.

It's top of the list, I promise.

Absolute priority.

Keep up the good work.

-Worker waifs.

-Thank you, Your Majesty.

Oi, you two, with me!

It's no use, I can't hold it in any longer!

Romance really is dead, isn't it?

Let's be reasonable, guys.

I know we have to lay low, but come on.

You can't expect a gorgeous grown woman to...

What are the flowers in front of us?

Thanks, Rocky.

The pleasure's all mine.

It's her, the girl on the poster!

How can you possibly know that?

It's the nerves. We're fizzy millionaires!

No, scratch that.

We're fizzy multi-millionaires.

You can't tell on us!

-We're on a quest to bring back the parents.

-Really?

Yes, really.

We're trying to find the place where we can reunite the two dimensions.

Our one and the one with the adults in it.

It's called the Quantum Nexus.

Has it a roof, running water and a fire?

And a pot to cook oats in?

Oh, great(!) I'm in Oliver!

Can't you see they're starving?

What are your names?

Pixie, and this Ronaldo.

Well, not officially.

But we renamed ourselves after the grown-ups vanished.

Pleased to meet you, Pixie.

Ronaldo,

I'm Tia.

What happened to you guys?

Nothing.

We're just...you know, waifs.

Time to go up the road, Pixie.

Wait!

Why don't you stay with us

and have some spaghetti hoops? Here.

That's kind.

Listen, gorgeous,

we could hire a chef each to cook burgers

to order when we're millionaires.

FANFARE

Stand by for an imperial announcement.

'This is an imperial announcement.

'I hereby announce

'the governing of the price on the heads

'of public enemy tribe number one,

'the Sparticles.

'They're two million fizzies each.

'Alive, only.'

Make that billionaires.

Stick that in your spaghetti hoops.

Greetings, market traders.

I, Emperor Fizzy,

declare a peaceful Dim takeover of Peace City.

As of today.

CHEERING

President Pacifist Pam

has acknowledged her tribe is too weedy.

ALL: Weedy?!

I mean, small in number...

to manage such an important training hub.

In fact, she begged me to take it over.

CHEERING AND BOOING

Furthermore, anyone found helping the Sparticles in any way

-will be asset-stripped.

-BOOING

That means we take everything you own.

And I mean everything.

'Your tribe will become waifs.

'Like Pixie and Ronaldo, eating out of dustbins.

'Do you want to be like them? Those leeches, suckers, scum.'

He's talking about you like you're disgusting.

-Tia, leave it to me.

-Like it's your fault you're poor?

-Who'd take a bunch of stinkies like us seriously?

-I do.

I take us really seriously.

And so should you, Ronaldo.

The only way we'll ever feel good about ourselves

is to stand up to Fizzy.

If we give him the Sparticles and claim the reward,

it's like agreeing with a bully.

I can live with the pain.

And what if Spartina and her tribe CAN bring back our families?

What's stopping them doing it now if they're so clever?

We haven't got all the pieces of the puzzle yet.

-We're missing things.

-Like sparks?

Like an ancient sword, about this big.

Weird old stuff carved on it?

That's it. Have you seen it?

The Dee-Diddly dancer dropped it.

And a weapons collector took it.

I'm really sorry.

Will you help us find the sword if we reunite you with your families?

I'd swap all the fizzies in the world for a hug with Mum.

I'm willing to take a chance on you, Spartina.

All those in favour of helping the Sparticles,

stick 'em up!

-'Hi, Reese.'

-'Hello, Huen.'

Cool idea to have a picnic, Diddles.

Just wish it was me and you.

-'Where are you going?'

-'To the Quantum Nexus.'

'What about you?'

'Watermint Mill.'

Are they talking without speaking?

Could be. I believe in special connections, Diddles.

Do you two know each other?

BOTH: We've never met before.

Rocky, you get in there and start stirring up some trouble for Fizzy.

This is madness. Dims will swamp us, there's so many more of them.

Reese and Sadiq are in there. So's the sword.

They might be reunited and on their way out!

Come on, Jeff, these guys have put their faith in us.

Can't let Pixie down.

Sadiq and Reese should have been back by now.

We have to find out what's happening.

-And be prepared to fight.

-You bet!

-I'll stay and guard the treasures.

-We'll get ready for battle. Rocky?

(Yes!)

'Do yourselves a favour and accept my offer. Oh, come on!

'I haven't got all day!

'Not like you lot. Louching around, weaving baskets

'and baking cakes.'

So you really want to be asset-stripped?

You know Pacifist Pam won't agree to this.

What's Fizzy done with her?

Where's Pacifist Pam?

What have you done with her?!

We want Pam!

ALL: We want Pam! We want Pam!

If you insist.

Get off me, you fascist pigs!

Get off me!

You wouldn't do it in a peaceful way, would you?

So here's the deal.

You lot all sign up for the empire.

That means taxes. 20% of everything you earn.

Or we take the lot!

No way! That's a dictatorship!

We have to fight for our freedom to trade.

To live in peace and decide our own destinies!

-Follow me. Woolfie Greenham!

-ALL: Yes!

Seize their assets and lock 'em up!

Sadiq,

the hotspot wasn't the Quantum Nexus.

It was Huen. He's like me.

We can communicate without talking.

Well, good for you(!)

We've lost the sword and all you can talk about is your new best friend?

I'm sorry, Sadiq.

It's him! Over there.

Look, it's him!

She's recognised us. Run, Reese!

Hey, where you going?

You're a wanted man!

They've been walking all over you.

I say we should fight back.

Arm ourselves and resist the Dims,

what d'you say, Pam?

We can't do that! Peace City's completely AGAINST violence!

You know that.

You're a weapons collector, Wolfie.

He was after the sword at the checkpoint.

SEIZE HIM!

So, if he's not Wolfie Greenham, then he must be...

a Sparticle!

And there's Sadiq and Reese!

SEIZE THEM, TOO!

SHOUTING

I told you.

The mighty Sadiq of the Sparticles, as puffy as a marshmallow.

Not sure shocking pink is your colour, though, me old mucker.

I thought you could do better than joining some rubbish talent

-show act.

-TOGETHER: Rubbish?

That's Dee-Diddly Deadpants you're talking to, Mr Memperor.

Dee-Diddly Deadpants?

Give me a break...dance.

Get it? Give me a break dance.

Where is the Quantum Nexus then, Sadiq?

I don't know. That's the truth. Why don't you ask your hench-women?

-The sword?

-Give that here.

What's this old thing got to do with the Quantum Nexus then?

Serena?

-Holly?

-It's the next clue to the Quantum Nexus.

What's it for, Sadiq?

I'm not sure yet.

Not sure yet?

You expect me to believe that?

How about the rest of you?

Where are the rest of your tribe, Sadiq?

The train robbers?

There.

Fury, you go snatch little sis.

There's the rest of you skulking rats. Seize them!

Get off me!

What are you doing, Fizzy?

I'm doing what made me an emperor and you a nobody -

using this.

Help! Get off me!

Let's see if we can jog your memory, Sadiq.

I've told you already - we don't know what the sword does.

Then your little sister is about to become a bath bomb.

Show him, boys.

Drop something in it, you idiot.

Sadiq!

Fizzy, don't hurt her.

I know how it works.

Make it quick or she is sherbet.

The clue is under there.

It works like a compass. See?

You put it on your finger.

I think it could reveal the location of the Quantum Nexus.

Is that it?

I thought it was going to light up like some glorious beacon.

What?

Different direction.

Different again.

This thing is a swizz. Put her down.

Listen up, deputy,

I've had it up to here with this treasure hunt biz.

Destroy the sword.

There is only one thing that will make sure that adults

never return to stalk the Earth.

What's that then, Fizzy?

Locking you lot up and throwing away the key.

Although in your case, Tia, I'd be willing to promote you to deputy.

Oh, I'd love to play Charlie's Angels.

Listen here, you little stump, we are bringing back everyone's loved ones.

And when your mummy gets back,

you will be on the naughty step for a decade.

Do your worst, workers and waifs.

Let's get out of here.

SHOUTING

Reese, run.

Prepare to die like dogs.

Ernesto!

Pick up your arms and fight.

The Sparticles are on a brave and noble quest.

We must stand together, shoulder to shoulder.

But it is against the tribal laws to fight.

You won't fight? Pah!

What is your spine made of, man, straw?

-Sometimes you don't need to fight to win.

-What?

You're joking, of course.

You could try passive resistance.

That old Indian dude Gandhi had it down to a pat.

Look, I'll show you.

Viva la revolucion, compadre!

Ah, a worthy opponent. No biting!

Get off me. Aaargh!

Let's go, Sparts.

This is an act of imperial disobedience

punishable by death.

I am your emperor!

I am your emperor!

Out of my way, Sheriff.

Stand up and fight, you cowards.

We don't need to fight you, Fizz, we are already winning.

Out of my way. Move it.

No, don't move a muscle.

-Ow!

-Ow!

-Ow, my ankle.

-Ow.

-That really hurts, you know.

-Move!

-Reese!

-Come on!

Get up!

The Empire will fight back.

And win!

Hey, Pam, we are on your side.

You have to respect us waifs.

-We respect everyone.

-I don't think so.

Pixie is right. You've been treating the waifs like second-class citizens.

Pay Pixie and her tribe for the job they've been doing

-and then you will be showing respect.

-You know it makes sense.

This is more like it, eh, Tia?

We are good, aren't we?

That was an awesome fight.

Keep driving, Jeff. >

Travelling.

We've got to figure out what we do next.

We have lost our clue and there was no hotspot.

What is he still doing here?

Can we take him to where he wants to go?

No. We are not running a taxi service.

-How about I drop you off?

-BOTH: Thank you.

Where are you going then?

Watermint Mill.

Hold on, let me see that.

Hey, that is the same fish symbol that was on the sword.

See?

Watermint Mill is built on a ley line,

the fish symbol from the sword is on the brochure

and the mill's right on the River Artos.

ALL: Artos?

That's the tribe that made the sword, the head, the key...

Then it has got to be the next stop on the trail to the Quantum Nexus.

Lucky we got the next clue before the sword was

dissolved in acid bath.

Serena, look.

-I hope we didn't miss something.

-What is there to miss?

We know about Watermint Mill. Holly and Serena are way behind now.

Step on it, Jeff.

< You've got it.

Yes! Watermint Mill, here we come.

There is a creature loose in Watermint Mill

that snatches children and eats them.

-Rargh!

-Moron.

I can't breathe.

The stone head is not just a head, it's a stone person.

This is an emergency. Help us.

ROARING Agh!

Where are the others?
