tangaroaThe title card is modified to show headshots of Phineas and a Zerg Hydralisk next to their names.
Scene: Playground
Phineas and a Zerg Hydralisk walk through a park.
PHINEAS: "I know what we'll be doing today, Zerg."
The Hydralisk growls.
PHINEAS: "We're going to build the biggest ferris wheel ever! But we'll need some help if we want to get it done before nightfall."
They walk to the swing set where Phineas attempts to talk the other children into helping him build his latest contraption.
PHINEAS: "Hi, guys! How would you like to help me build a ferris wheel? It's gonna be bigger and more fun than the last one!"
KID1: "Billy broke his arm falling off the last one."
KID2: "Your contraptions are dangerous."
KID3: "They're not in compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Administration regulations."
The Hydralisk angrily hisses at them. The acid saliva dripping from its toothy jaw burns the grass below.
KID: "Maybe we could help you build a normal-sized ferris wheel and we'll be done faster and have more time to enjoy it?"
The Hydralisk advances towards this boy, but Phineas interrupts it.
PHINEAS: "You know what? That's a good idea! We've always been building projects that I want to build. Let's build one that you want to have built. Anyway, where did Perry go?"
Scene: Perry
Perry the Platypus heads to his secret hideout and turns on his communicator.
Appearing on screen is Jim Raynor from Starcraft.
RAYNOR: "Raynor here. We've tracked a suitable hyperspace signal to a laboratory owned by a Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz. I hear you know of him. You should get moving immediately. Further instructions are in the briefcase behind you."
Scene: Doofenshmirtz's Lab
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "My hyperspace wormhole generatorator is nearly complete! Once I prove that it works, I can go conquer some other tri-state area on some other planet that doesn't have that blue platypus that always stops me and is probably standing right behind me right now."
Doofenshmirtz looks over his shoulder and sees Perry standing right behind him.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "Curse you, Perry the platypus! And now I suppose you're going to tell me that you're not going to let me get away with this."
Perry rolls down a projection screen next to him and points a ruler at it. On the screen is a map of different planets with red arrows pointing from Char and Tarsonis to Earth. The title on the screen is in large block letters: ALIEN INVASION.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "That is different from usual."
Perry hands Doofenshmirtz the blueprints he got from Raynor, sets down a toolbox, grabs a wrench, and starts working on Doofenshmirtz's machine. Doofenshmirtz looks over the blueprints.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "New plans, I see."
Scene: Musical interlude
Switch back and forth between scenes of the park and Doofenshmirtz's lab as both groups work on their respective contraption.
The kids sing a short song about how hard they have to work or else they'll get eaten.
The Hydralisk uses its tail spikes as rivets.
Scene: Doofenshmirtz's Lab
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "Okay, now we just need to reverse the polarity."
Perry reaches for a component that looks like a cheap plastic pocket compass, pulls it out, turns it a half circle, and puts it back in. Doofenshmirtz pulls a lever and pushes a button, and the device fires a beam into the sky which opens a wide portal.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "And it works! It's doing whatever it is this is supposed to do after those change orders you gave me."
A Protoss carrier and several Scouts and Corsairs emerge from the portal and fly away towards the horizon.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: "I do hope those were the good guys."
Scene: Contraption
Phineas and his work crew have built a normal-sized ferris wheel. The other kids are enjoying riding on it.
PHINEAS: "We finished way ahead of schedule and there were plenty of spare parts left over so I decided to build some missile turrets with them. That's something I've always wanted to do."
A row of warehouses retract their roofs and collapse their walls to reveal the missile turrets. The Hydralisk's eyes go wide in surprise.
Scene: Game Segment
Show a few seconds of Starcraft game video where a wave of Mutalisks and Overlords run into a wall of missile turrets and then get routed by Protoss air units.
Scene: Contraption
The kids on the contraption are cheering after the battle.
The Hydralisk looks distraught after the invasion failed. Its mood quickly changes to seething anger.
Phineas: "I did not expect the missile turrets to be so useful so quickly. I suppose that's just my luck, eh, Zerg?"
The Hydralisk mauls and eats Phineas.
Scene: Aftermath
Phineas's older sister Candace walks into the scene.
CANDACE: "Hi, Zerg. Have you seen Phineas anywhere? I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on him."
The Hydralisk shakes its head while it still has Phineas's hindquarters in its mouth. Candace continues for a few steps before stopping and turning around.
CANDACE: "Did you eat my little brother?"
The Hydralisk swallows and burps.
CANDACE: "You did eat my little brother! ... I am so grounded."
Scene: Ending
Title card. Phineas's name is crossed out. The Hydralisk mauls and chews on the title card, then turns and advances on the camera. Our view ends in the blackness of its alien maw.
