Adventure Guys

*Luffy and his crew patch themselves up after Morbius’s rampage.*
Usopp: So he turned himself into a Vampire!?
Nami: I think he was trying to tell me that last night. But he said I would be scared if he told me directly
Usopp: No shit!
Zoro: So that's the side effect to the power. Now it all makes sense. Those "vampire sightings" were him.
Luffy: Eh, he always looked like a vampire. Even before he cured himself.
Usopp: Aren't you a little mad!?
Luffy: Not really.
Usopp: But Morbius was a vampire the whole time and he never told us! And he bit you! Drained your blood!
Luffy: But I know Morbius would never do that.
Usopp: But he did!
Luffy: Not on purpose.
Nami: Luffy’s right though… surprisingly. The only reason he was aggressive was because of that serum he made. He wanted to get rid of the vampire inside him but it didn't work and it caused him to be even more agressive. It didn't help YOU shot a him!
Usopp: I panicked!
*She smacks him.*
Nami: When I told you not to shoot!
Zoro: it's not like it matters anymore. He's gone now. He jumped overboard.
Nami: He said he was sorry. That's the last thing he said before he jumped.
Luffy: Oh, see! Morbius is a good guy.
Sanji: Even if he is, he's most likely dead if he jumped overboard.
Luffy: Nah, he's got super powers. Not devil fruit powers. He can swim.
Nami: True, if he could swim he'd most likely get away. With that super speed he could've swimmed faster in the water then anyone else. Question is where would he go?
Luffy: New York?
Nami: No Luffy, it has to be somewhere familiar to him, somewhere close by where he could go and still know where he is. Like… New York!
Luffy: I just said that!
Usopp: We're going back to him!?
Nami: Man up!
Usopp: Don't tell me to man up! We're dealing with a vampire here!
Zoro: if he tries anything, I'll slice him up good for real this time.
Sanji: if you can do it before I kick his brains out.
Zoro: If you could crap cook!
Sanji: What did you say Mosshead!?
*They fight each other.*
Nami: *sigh* Let's just head to New York.
Luffy: Hm. We're coming for you Morbius. Where ever you are in New York.

*At New York City, Morbius returns to Oscorp, his previous place of employment.*
Secretary: M- M- M- Dr. Morbius! You've returned.
Morbius: Yes I know. I'm still alive
Secretary: What happened!?
Employee 1: Woah it's him!
Employee 2: It's the doctor himself!
Employee 3: Morbius! He's alive!
Scientist: It's good to have you back sir. Your presence shall be announced.
Morbius: Yes, thank you, I'll need to be left alone in my quarters.
Scientist: Of course sir, but shouldn't you tell everyone where you've been?
Employee 4: How did you survive the pirates!? Must've been dangerous!
Morbius: I'll talk later, but for now I need privacy if you please.
Scientist: … Of course sir.

*He goes up the elevator and makes it to the top floor.*
Dr. Connors: And so with proper genetic information we'll be able to heal lost limbs. Of course this is merely just hypothetical, but everyday our scientists work hard to find the correct formula for this potential chemical treatment and-
Morbius: Good morning Connors.
Dr. Connors: Morning Dr. Morb- Morbius? Excuse me, class.
Gwen Stacy: Well, Dr. Connors seems busy at the moment class why don't we head to the next part of the tour!

Dr. Connors: Morbius! Where have you've been? You've been missing for 2 months! I was worried, the news said you were captured by pirates, are you alright?
Morbius: I'm fine Connors. More then fine actually
Dr. Connors: did it work?
Morbius: That's what I need to find out. I'll be in quarters but please don't bother me okay? I need complete privacy. No distractions
Dr. Connors: Of course, anything you need.
Morbius: Thank you.
*He heads to his lab.*
Morbius: Lab #1… Pharmacy streets.
*Morbius starts to transform back to a vampire*
Morbius: No! Not again!
*He heads into a refrigerated room where he gets some blood in packets.*
Morbius: Godamnit…
*He takes the top off and begins to drink blood packets.*
Morbius: ugh… gggrr… Rawrr!! … ugh… I'm okay. I'm okay…

*Morbius begins to test out his powers and records himself.*
Morbius: As a result of my procedure, I have an overpowering urge to consume… Blood… Human blood. In certain respects, I've succeeded far
beyond anything I could've imagined. For the first time in my entire life, I feel... good? 2 months ago, I could barely walk. Today, I don't know what I'm capable of. For a period of time after ingestion, my numbers are off the charts. I have the constitution
of Olympic athletes. Increased strength and speed that can only be described as... superhuman.
*As he records the data, he hears the vampire bats he has in his tank.*
Bat: Squeak! Squeak!
Morbius: I've become something... different. I feel a kinship with these creatures. They would tear anyone else apart, but they welcome me… Like a brother.
*He gets inside the tank as the bats move around Morbius, and even land on him.*
Morbius: You're a lot cuter up close like this.
Bat: Squeak!
*Morbius then exits out and tests another power set*
Morbius: I've even developed a form of echolocation. Bat-radar, for the uninitiated. I've tested it out in the field before but I can hear everything. Even the heart beats of my comrades. I can isolate what sound I'm hearing, and as I've tested this more and more im perfecting this ability everyday. But unfortunately, this condition is temporary. I've been timing myself. I need to drink blood every 6 hours or so. I if I don't, my illness returns with a vengeance… Despite all the powers, when I go without blood… I turn into something more primal. Skin becomes pale, my nose flattens, I become skinnier, my teeth turn into fangs, my eyes become red. I crave blood more than ever in this state. The only way to accurately describe this part of my condition is… a form of vampirism. In theory this shouldn't be possible but the side effect of this cure is without a doubt Vampirism… and I don't know why that is. I may be intelligent but even I'm puzzled by this.
*Morbius stops recording and then ponders.*
Morbius: Now I'm asking a different question. What happens if I go without? For long periods of time?
*He locks himself in a glass chamber. And goes a long time without blood…*

???: Excuse me, I heard the news that Morbius came back. I wanted to see him.
Dr. Connors: I'm afraid he's placed himself in complete privacy for the time being. He wishes to be left alone, Milo.
Milo: But I'm his best friend, he'll let me in I'm sure. Please?
Dr. Connors: … Oh alright, he's in his lab. Make sure you knock.
Milo: Thank you.
*The young man named Milo makes his way towards the elevator.*
Employee 1: Is that Lucien?
Employee 2: Yes but he goes by Milo.
Employee 1: He helps fund Dr. Morbius' experiments right?
Employee 2: Yeah, he's got the same blood disease as him.
Employee 1: No way… two freaks.
Milo: I heard that!
Employee: I know.
Milo: … Ugh.
*He goes up the elevator.*

Milo: Mitchel? I know you want privacy but I just wanted to see you friend. You've been gone for a while now, I was worried… Mitchel?
*He sees Morbius in the glass chamber.*
Milo: Mitchel?! What are you doing? Mitchel, it's Milo. What are you doing?
*Morbius is having a vampiric breakdown due to a lack of blood.^
Milo: You need help.
*Morbius starts writing something in blood.*
Milo: What?
*He finishes writing “Blood” on the glass.*
Milo: Blood. You want the blood in the freezer? Wait!
*He goes to the freezer.*
Milo: I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm coming.
*He grabs the blood packet, and makes his way back to Morbius.*
Milo: Alright, Mitchel… Okay, hold on.
*He opens the chamber*
Milo: Here… Here.
*Morbius drinks from the blood packets and returns to his normal state.*8
Milo: Mitchel… You're strong. Mitchel, you did it. You did it and found a cure to fix...
Morbius: Milo.
Milo: What?! What? What is it?
Morbius: I made a terrible mistake, Milo.
Milo: We all make mistakes, don't worry about it.
Morbius: I've never made one like this before.
Milo: Mitchel, enough! Just give it to me. I need it. I can't live like this any longer.
Morbius: I can't.
Milo: What do you mean, you can't?
Morbius: I can't.
Milo: I need this.
Morbius: I've done things, Milo… By killing people.
Milo: We can make that go away, if you killed the pirates we can make that go away. Nobody cares about pirates
Morbius: You don't understand.
Milo: I do understand! Please. Have I ever denied you anything? Have I ever said no? Have I always given you the...
Morbius: I can't control it!
Milo: So you get to live and I get to die, is that it?
Morbius: It's a curse. Believe me, brother. Yes. Now, please… I need you to go. It's not safe here.
Milo: No… No, don't make me go. No, please Mitchel, don't...
Morbius: I SAID GET OUT! GET OUT!
*Milo is terrified and promptly leaves. Morbius realizes his mistake a few seconds later.*
Morbius: Wait… Milo! … shit.
*He goes back to his desk.*

*10 years ago, a young Mitchel Morbius sits in a hospital bed in an orphanage located in Greece.* Mother Lily: Single file with a smile, kids. Hey! Don't mess with Mitchel's machines, he needs those to live!
Kid: Sorry Mother Lily.
Mother Lily: ugh you little rascals.
*She goes to Morbius.*
Mother Lily: How are you holding up sweetie?
Morbius: Good. Just playing chess.
Mother Lily: By yourself?
Morbius: Yes. It's fun.
Mother Lily: Wouldn't it be more fun if another kid plays with you?
Morbius: No. I'm better off on my own. Besides, most kids my age aren't smart enough to play chess. They'll lose every time. It's better if I don't have any friends.
Mother Lily: Hey, don't say that, everybody needs friends.
Morbius: I don't. My mom didn't even want me.
Mother Lily: You're so grim for a child. It's not healthy to be cynical at your age. You should know that. Especially since your mother left you here to protect you from bad people.
Morbius: I know that… I've just accepted that I'm going to be an orphan forever. Nobody will adopt a dying kid like me.
Mother Lily: I would. Speaking of that, we'll be getting a newcomer here. And I think you'll like him.
Morbius: Huh?

*A young Milo arrives at the orphanage.*
Mother Lily: Lucien welcome. I'm Mother Lily in charge of this orphanage. You'll be staying with another boy just like you. Okay?
Milo: Mmm hm.
Mother Lily: Mitchel, this is Lucien.
Lucien, Mitchel. Mitchel knows more about this place than I do. Play nice.
*She helps Milo into a hospital bed next to Morbius and hooks him to another machine that Morbius uses for his blood disease.*
Milo: Hello
Morbius: Hello, Milo.
Milo: My name is Lucien. The person who you would see before was Milo.
Morbius: No, he was also a new Milo. Before I enlist the other new Milo… I don't even remember the first Milo.
Milo: Oh. That's depressing
Morbius: It helps me not to get too attached.
Milo: How long have you been here?
Morbius: As long as I remember. Mother Lily found me on the doorstep of this orphanage. My mom left me here because she was running away from someone. I don't know who. But she was found dead in a car accident that the police said it was deliberate. So she died protecting me from some bad people. By hiding me here.
Milo: Oh… that's sad
Morbius: Not as sad as living your entire life with this disease.
Milo: You've been here for all your life and you're still not cured?
Morbius: There is no cure. We have something called Aplastic Anemia. It's where our bodies doesn't produce enough healthy blood cells.
Milo: Cells?
Morbius: Like tiny workers that make us up.
Milo: Oh.
Morbius: Yeah. Every body part has cells. Including blood. But we're not producing enough healthy ones. And until a cure is found, the only way to stay alive is the an oil change 3 times a day
Milo: What would you do, if you can be normal… Just for an hour?
Morbius: I don't think about it.
Milo: But if you can?
Morbius: well… I'd find a cure. To save all of us with anemia. There's so few of us who live long lives. And the world is a cruel place. People make fun of us just for being sick. But I don't pay attention to them. Like the original Spartans, we are the few against the many.
Milo: Cool… *cough* ugh.
*Milo starts getting sick.*
Morbius: Milo? Milo!? Nurse!
*Morbius quickly fixes the machine with a pen he has. After he does so, Milo wakes up*
Milo: Ugh…
Morbius: Are you alright?
Milo: I passed out for a minute.
Morbius: Yeah, you did.

Mother Lily: With one of these? It took a team of scientists
to build that machine and you fixed it with a ballpoint pen?
Morbius: Yeah don't be mad.
Mother Lily: I'm not mad, I'm impressed. There's a school for gifted children here in New York. I think that I can get them to agree to cover your tuition. And provide private care to help manage your condition. Somewhere you can study, learn, hone your skills. You have a gift, Mitchel. I don't think I could forgive myself if I saw it go to waste.
Morbius: Am I special?
Mother Lily: Yes you are. More than you know.

*Morbius arrives in the special school in New York.*
Morbius: Oscorp School for the gifted…
Mother Lily: Yup. This place will help you grow. Okay?

*They meet up with one of the teachers there.* Hank Pym: So, you're the new kid. I'm Dr. Pym. You're rather young. How old are you?
Morbius: I'm 7.
Hank Pym: I've heard about you, fixing a complex machine with a simple tool. I think you'll get along here just fine. I'll take him from here.
Mother Lily: Good luck, Mitchel.
Morbius: Okay.

*Milo opens a letter from Morbius.*
Dear Milo, this isn't goodbye. I'm gonna find a cure for us… So we can be cranky old men someday. Your friend, Mitchel.

P.S. You shouldn't have unfolded this. Now, you'll never get it back together. See you this summer.

Milo: Haha!
*But the letter blows in the wind.*
Milo: No! Oh.

*He goes outside to get it.*
Kid 1: Haha! The letter of this fag!
Kid 2: Aww they're in love!
Kid 3: It's what freaks do! They only have each other to love and fuck.
Kid 1: Sick bastards.
Milo: Um, can I have my letter back?
Kid 2: Bro! He literally came all the way here to get it back!
Kid 3: Come and get it boon!
Milo: Please! Give it back! Please! Please!
*They keep tossing the paper.*
Milo: Please! I said give it back!
*He smacks one of the kids with one of his crutches.*
Kid 3: Oh that's it!
*They start beating him up, Luckily Mother Lily was nearby getting groceries*
Mother Lily: what the- HEY! what's the matter with you kids!?! Get out of here!
*She makes them go away as she picks up Milo*
Milo: I just wanted my letter…
*He then tries to heat up the kid he knocked down*
Milo: I JUST WANTED MY LETTER BACK!
Mother Lily: Okay! Okay! Milo, calm down. Calm…

*Years later, at the age of 16.*
???: Happy anniversary!
Morbius: Oh Martine you shouldn't have.
Martine: It's a cake. Vanilla.
Morbius: I love Vanilla.
Martine: I know you do, love.
*She kisses Morbius on the lips*
Morbius: Oh this reminds me when we first met.
Martine: When you were 7, and we attended the same class? I gave you that look.
Morbius: The look that you wanted to eat me?
Martine: I was only joking back then.
Morbius: Who jokes about eating someone?
Martine: I do. And besides, you were so young, and cute. Who wouldn't want to just eat you up?
Morbius: You think I'm cute?
Martine: Always. That's why I asked you to be my boyfriend.
Morbius: I was so awkward.
Martine: You were only 7.
Morbius: And you were 10. Asking me to be your boyfriend. You dirty girl.
Martine: I love younger guys. Their cute.
Morbius: You do realize now that you're 19, and I'm 16…
Martine: You calling me a pedo?
Morbius: I didn't say that! It's just you're legally an adult and I'm still a minor
Martine: it's only a 3 year age gap. It's not that weird.
Morbius: Yeah you're right, but if I don't live much longer… I don't think I'll have much of a future to be older.
Martine: Then I'm telling you. To marry me.
Morbius: I- I can't.
Martine: You totally can, that way if you die young you'll die with someone there looking after you.
Morbius: … yeah… maybe. I- I'll think about it.
*He goes to his office.*
Martine: Such a cute young man…

*A year later*
Morbius: Test 11-A7, to recap Aplastic Anemia is a rare blood disease that prevents the bone marrow from producing healthy red blood cells. It can happen to adults but it's also possible to be born with it as a genetic disease as well, as I was born with it myself. Vampire Bats are able to drink blood which means their bodies are able to produce blood cells at a much faster rate. With this embedded in their DNA, I'm attempting to extract the strong immune system genes of the Vampire Bat and put it in my own DNA using chimera cells. Of course these cells remain dormant in my body but with electrotherapy it should be able to awaken these cells and activate inside of me. Now to test this theory out.
*He runs several tests on mice. Some mice die… but some survive.*
Morbius: … Holy shit… success… SUCCESS!!! Oh my God!

*Morbius pays a visit to Mother Lily.*
Mother Lily: I told you, you have a gift. You always had. If there was an answer to your disease, you would find it.
Morbius: And I did! I finally found a cure. I just need the necessary resources. But they aren't here in New York. I'll have to travel to the oceans for that.
Mother Lily: You're leaving?
Morbius: Yeah. I already said goodbye to Milo, Connors, and the others back at Oscorp. Told them I'll be gone to find the cure.
Mother Lily: What did Martine think?
Morbius: She got excited. Wished me luck… I guess this is goodbye for now.
Mother Lily: I'll see you again.
Morbius: … I love you.
*He goes to hug her.*
Morbius: You're the closest thing I ever had to a mom.
Mother Lily: Oh… baby, come here.
Morbius: I'll miss you.
Mother Lily: Me too.

*Morbius then goes to the docks.*
Attender: Ticket please.
Morbius: Here.
Attender: Enjoy your sea voyage.
*He goes on the boat.*
Captain: Good afternoon everybody, this is your captain speaking. Please be aware there have been some pirate sightings in the area but we assure you that the voyage will be safe and there's nothing to worry about. Our coast guard is working 24/7 to ensure a safe travel.
Morbius: I hope so, hopefully no pirates come in and take over this ship.

*In the present, a young nurse is about to finish her shift and heads down the hallway.*
Nurse: Hmm hmm… hm?
*She hears some kind of noise.*
Nurse: Hello? … whose there?
*The hallway lights only turn on when someone walks under them, thanks to a motion detection system. At the end of the hallway, the lights turned on.*
Nurse: Excuse me, who are you?
*But there’s no one there.*
Nurse: Hello?
*The lights turn on and off, and start getting closer. And closer. And the nurse was starting to feel dread.*
Nurse: uh… uh..
*She quickly goes to a button that will make the lights stay on.*
Nurse: Oh god!
*But there was nothing there in the hallways.*
Nurse: …
*Suddenly, she is attacked by someone or something and killed.*
