 * (YouTube Originals shows as it cuts to a television news report)

Sarah Ravecroft: this is Sarah Ravecroft with your breaking news. A villainous enemy named J0LT is attacking the streets of Bluestone City

(Shows Jolt attacking people)

Jolt: HEY! RICH PEOPLE! GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!

(just then a figure enters jumping in)

Sarah: No way is that..

Figure: Sorry Jolt. but looks to me your electric bill is gonna go big once I'm through with you.

Jolt: Who are you? The last living employee at a Blockbuster?

Figure: To some people yes. But you can call me (reveals to be V.H.S)

V.H.S: V.H.S!

(it cuts back as it shows a little boy watching a tv with pure excitement)

Boy: Daddy!

Matthew (VO): Yep. thats me right there. watching the television. My dad was the all time hero V.H.S he was one of the early heroes in his day. The world knew him as a bright hero. And I admired him for it. He was a hero for 27 years. And he was one of the greatest there is. Along with other heroes across the world protected us.

(V.H.S captures Jolt as young Matthew watches in excitement as it all fades to black)

Matthew: But by then things have drastically changed.

(cuts to Bluestone City years later)

Matthew (VO): Heroes died out, Some literally died. Some retired, Now the word of superheroes protecting us in this city is now old news...The worlds have changed. Supervillains became more deadly even but somehow didn't have any heroes to fight...the world became...heroless

(it cuts to a funeral as it shows Matthew seeing his dad get buried)

Matthew: (VO) Even my dad passed away one of the original heroes due to cardiac stroke. But whatever happens. the future might look pretty bright for me.

(shows V.H.S logo as it cuts to a video store as a few robbers are planning on robbing it, Matthew is working at that store being robbed)

Robber: Hands in the air!

(Matthew does so, as suddenly time stops as he starts to panic)

Matthew: I got my dad's powers today?!

Matthew (VO): Whoa thats a little too far for me to know that didn't happen. Well yes i was robbed but that's not how it really went down. I didn't just get powers and then poof I'm a hero. No No No let's go a little further back.

(the scene rewinds as if it was like a VHS Tape Rewinding to the exact part but its different)

(Matthew is working the front desk as the two robbers burst in)

Robber: Hands in the air! Well Well Well lookie what we have in our mists. We have a movie nerd.

Robber 2: Ha Ha yeah working at a crummy video store hate to break it to ya kid. But VHS is dead. Stick to Streaming

Matthew: This was my dads store.

Robber 3: Well give us the money then so we don't destroy your pops store.

Matthew: Fine, (hands them the money)

Robber: Thanks for doing business kid. (they leave the store laughing) (that robber appears at the door before leaving) BTW 90s are over head towards the present

Matthew: SCREW YOU PUNK!

(The robber quickly turns and just gives a cold glance and leaves)

(Matthew looks down at the desk and thinks)

Matthew (VO): Yeah. my life was a hellhole that day. my dad passing away being robbed. I love movies and VHS and all but this was something I could not rewind

(it then cuts to a news room as anchors are done with the news

Don Glazekin: And thats the news for today I'm Don Glazekin

Mia Moroa: And I'm Mia Moroa will see you at 7pm.

Don: Cut thats good people. Intern! "snaps his fingers"

(Laura bursts in)

Laura: Y..Y..Yes sir?

Don: Did you get my water

Laura: Y..Yes sir,

(she hands it to him and he sips)

Don: Very good. Now go clean something.

(Laura leaves but overhears)

Don: You know Mia I gotta admit. Laura is a nice person and she has been very helpful but. I'm afraid this job isn't right for her.

Mia: She's not attractive enough. People don't watch the news for the news. They watch it for the attractive women.

Don: Right… Hate to do this. but I'm gonna have to let her go Not any other stations would be able to pick up. Nothing personal just pure business.

(Laura hears this with a tear in her eye as she runs out the door. She begins to cry as it cuts to a jail cell as the original Jolt is sitting there as suddenly his son, Andrew enters the cell)

Andrew: Hey dad.

Jolt: It's you.

Andrew: No, hey son I missed you? No tears in your eyes? Nothing?!

Jolt: "Tears up a little" It's good to see you son. I've missed ya so much. rotting in this cage for a couple years has really hit me hard. *he then begins to laugh* That good enough for you, mistake?

Andrew: Did you just call me a mistake?

Jolt: Yes. You're my son and what have you done?!

Andrew: I robbed a video store!

Jolt: *laughs more* A video store?! Look at you! You are a joke! Get out of my sight.

(Andrew walks out in defeat as suddenly a mysterious man dressed in all black and a white mask taps his shoulder)

Experimenter: I heard you have daddy issues.

Andrew: What do you want?

Experimenter: I'm looking for someone.

(it cuts back to Matthew is cleaning the counter leaving as a thunderous glow is heard from the back yet doesn't notice he closing the shop for tonight walking back looking down as he then hears crying)

Matthew: Huh? What was that?!

(he then goes to see Laura crying in a small alley way hiding her face)

Matthew: Hey. whoa whoa whats going on? Are you ok?!

Laura: I'm basically fired!

Matthew: Didn't you just start working there?

Laura: I been working there for 27 days straight. And not nobody truly notices. they even said it themselves they don't want news just very sexy women at the job.

Matthew: Huh, that's odd. I know Don, I can try to talk to him.

Laura: No I just gonna prepare for what's gonna happen. Thanks anyway.

Matthew: I'm Matthew

Laura: Laura.

Matthew: Hey did you wanna just get a coffee or something.

Laura: Sure a coffee will help me feel better (she gets up and starts heading to a coffee shop)

Matthew: Alrighty then.

(they enter the coffee shop and go to sit)

Matthew: Don't worry it's on me. You ain't the only one who had a rough day. I had it rough too. My store got robbed.

Laura: You're a shopkeeper?

Matthew: Inherited from my pa. He owned the video store down here. And he died. Cardiac arrest.

Laura: I'm sorry to hear that. I guess we did both had it pretty bad too.

Matthew: Yeah.

(Suddenly he hears the glow again)

Matthew: Huh. Excuse me, I have been hearing something. Gotta go investigate.

(Laura looks up at a tv seeing tons of protests fighting, And villainous encounters)

(Laura looks down at her table)

Laura: Where are the heroes when we need them now?

(With Matthew, he enters the video store and sees a strange glowing VHS tape as he goes to touch it)

(he touches it and nothing happens but it tells him to insert the tape)

Matthew: Insert The Tape?! Ok.

(he puts in the tape as a figure shows himself revealing to be Robert Creed) on the tape

Robert: Can anyone hear me. Test Test. ah thats good.

Matthew: Dad?

Robert: Hello son in case your watching this i have passed on.and the legacy of superheroes have died out and villains and other crazy criminal streets have roam free without any justice. You even already know the fact that I'm the superhero VHS. I have no idea what might have happened to me but right now, this VHS is rewriting your genetic code.

Matthew: But how can an ordinary tape rewrite a genetic code?

Robert: By now your probably asking how could a ordinary tape rewrite a genetic code, Well before i passed on here's my little secret i sacrificed all my powers into this tape that your watching and all the powers that i had during my time into that videocassette tape. With you touching it you'll start to gain the abilities i had. I know you have more questions, but I only have limited recording time so expect a costume to conjure out of thin air and then you will know what to do. So good luck my son. And remember smile my boy...it's sunrise.....wait shit that was a Robin Williams quote uh no i meant uh Be Kind Rewind. No Damn It Still terrible. Uh Oh Wait I Got It How About

(the tape ends as the costume as Robert said, just suddenly appears with a note saying HIDE THE SUIT IN THIS CASSETTE BOX)

Matthew: Really Dad, Zeus and Roxanne?! Thats where you want me to hide the suit?!

(He sighs and does so as it easily fits inside. It cuts to the very same prison Jolt is held in as security alarms are heard. Guards are being flung left and right as the person responsible happens to be Andrew, now calling himself Blackout.)

Guard: who the hell are you?

Blackout: Blackout. And I am here for Jolt.

(He electrocutes the Guard as he finds Jolt's cell)

Jolt: Andrew? You're here to free me?

Blackout: Not exactly. I am here to execute you.

Jolt: But why

Blackout: You rejected me Always turned my back  Now I am stronger using your tech  I am better and more superior than you

(His eyes glow pure blue as lightning comes out of his hands and clashes his fists together making a powerful lighting blast. He checks to see if he killed his dad as he suddenly sees Matthew, now dressed as VHS, standing between them)

VHS: Sorry buddy (he uses film strip unleashed and wraps it around him tight)

Blackout: Wh…What is this?!?! Who the hell are you

VHS: A Messenger and a Legacy revived

(Jolt realizes who it is)

Jolt: No! No! God damn it that’s not true it can’t be who I think it is!!!!

(Blackout breaks out of the film strip and charges at him but right as he shoots an electricity bolt. VHS slows down the Bolt grabs it And throws it back at Blackbolt hitting him.

Blackout: How?!

Jolt: Don’t face him  Run! I know who that is. Somehow he’s back from the dead. That’s impossible.

VHS: I have a message to deliver to everyone

(news reporters are getting this on news)

VHS: People of Bluestone City This world has been heroless for so long. All we see our crimes, Villainy  Cruel Pain. And no justice But I have a message to all the criminals who rule this city. And the ones who believe heroes are long gone….This City has a protector, A legend once died in my arms. But now a new legacy can begin. A world where there’s justice in this world. To all I say one thing. You will be heroless no more… Because You are now under the hands of VHS….once again!!!!!!

(the crowd cheers as the news broadcast says VHS HAS RETURNED, THE HEROES ARE BACK?!

Audience Member: The Heroes Are Back!!!!

(Back in the scene, Blackout grabs Jolt and electrocutes him as he runs to VHS as he pauses time and punches him in the face many times until he passes out VHS then presses play)

VHS: He is done for.

(Police come in and take him in as VHS swings off using his film strip)

Don: Breaking News The heroes are back?!?! The once superhero named VHS has returned arresting the new villain today during a villain breaking in and executing the villain Jolt. People are skeptical to wonder, Have the heroes really returned? We’ll get you more info on this story later. I’m Don Glazekin with your news.

(The cameras cut)

Don: Laura, Come here this instant.

(Laura comes nervously)

Laura: Y-y-yes?

Don: We, We been talking about you a lot and we know you been highly working with us for a couple weeks whether it’s getting coffee or cleaning stuff, And you been doing such an amazing job. That’s why I hate to say it  But (he smiles) I’d like to give you a bigger position in our field of work.

Laura: W…What

Don: Good news. You're promoted. I started to realize. News isn’t pretty women shined. It’s just news. I’d like to give you full job not just on the news desk. But out in the field too.

Laura: Thank you so much sir B…B….But how did this happen?!
