Mangler Brothers Cartoon Episode Two: The Mangler's Strike Back
The episode opens with the hitmen Motti and Dayv on a light (but heavily armed) transport bound for the distant planet Enooitat. They sit in the back and talk about... business, while their pilot, a tuxedo-clad android named WARBLER, flies the ship. After the themesong, the Manglers arrive at Enooitat and land their ship in an abandoned district of Som Pesa. As the three assassins disembark, they discuss their target, still the elusive Jimbo Jones. He was reported to have been seen in a public forum insulting people at random and generally inflaming tempers. With such a reputation, he would be easy to hunt.
Dayv and Motti dress down in civilian clothes, but leave their battle gear a button-press away on their belts. Eventually, they find a cantina that plays ancient movie tunes. As they enter, we hear Lapti Nek in the background, and see a more aunthentic version of the decoy from the previous episode. The Manglers confront him. Jimbo turns to reveal his hideous yellow skin and enourmous, swollen right eye. He is terrifed of the Manglers, and they drag him out of the cantina and head to the lush plains of Enooitat's Nedu Sea to dispose of the soon-to-be corpse. Unfortunately, an explosion rocks the square as the Manglers leave the city, and Jimbo is able to escape. The Mangler's pursue him, now tapping their belt equippers to replace their civie clothes with their Mangler-Gear.
Eventually, (that is, after the second comerical break,) the Manglers confont Jimbo and some lackeys. After a brief but violent struggle, the Manglers and Jimbo are left alone. Motti uses his gauntlet to knock Jimbo down, but as Dayv charges for the kill, he runs into a forcefield. Jimbo reaches for the 'watch' on his wrist, and turns the gauge that reads "CIVILITY" down. Then Jones explodes into an enourmous brute and starts hurling cusses and punches at the Manglers. Dayv and Motti counter with bullets and Motti's big sword, and eventually, the Jimbo is lying helpless, near death. Dayv's gun transforms into a high-powered sniper pistol and is pointed and Jimbo's head.
Dayv fires the round, but a blue flash deflects the round, and we get an awesome establishing shot of...
DARTH CHALTAB, the vigilante Pseudo-Sith with a blue light-katana (
) and leader of the Rogue Novas.Chaltab argues with the Manglers briefly and instructs them not to kill Jimbo, and that he might get the point after just being maimed. They tell him that they are only working for the "Emperor" who goes unnamed, and that it is just a job. After this, they fight, but Chaltab cannot hold his own against both Manglers. Despite his Force-esque powers, the Manglers have too much skill to be easily defeated, and Chaltab retreats, only to be confronted by the android Warbler. Not wanting to risk further injury to his body or ego, Chaltab uses an EMP to disable Warbler long enough to escape.
The Manglers, satisfied that Chaltab is gone, turn back to find Jimbo also gone. But his CIVILITY watch is lying where he had been, completely depleted of civility juice. The Manglers curse Chaltab, but he can't here them because he is back in space.
