**Title:** *Elementibox – Episode 5: Rift Riff* **Based on:** *Harry’sHorribleHumor’s Incredibox Mod – Solid As Metal* **Cast:** **Rusto**, **Maline**, **Wyman**, **Box n’ Stuff**, **Bellzo**, **Controitive**, **Fizzin’**, **Zincko** **[SCENE 1 – THE FRACTURED FACTORY]** *Beneath the now-wilting reef, cracks shimmer with volatile light. **RUSTO** slides down a metallic hall, sparks jumping at his joints.* **RUSTO** “This place is buzzing like a half-broken coil. I like it.” *A rumble echoes. **MALINE** descends, calm amid the chaos, her aura glowing like frozen lightning.* **MALINE** “Careful. That buzz isn’t excitement—it’s instability.” *In a shimmer of science goggles and scattered screws, **WYMAN** pops out from behind a crystal boulder.* **WYMAN** “Or it's excitement *and* instability! Look at these ion splits—deliciously unpredictable!” **[SCENE 2 – CORE STATIC]** *They reach a chamber pulsing with pink and cobalt surges. **BOX N’ STUFF** accidentally lands on a glowing button. Something roars.* **BOX N’ STUFF** “Uh-oh. I pressed the thing. I think the thing’s angry.” *Enter **BELLZO**, vibrating to some ancient subsonic beat. The pulses sync with her steps.* **BELLZO** “The rift’s rhythm… it’s distorted. It’s calling *someone.*” *Suddenly, a screen flickers from the rock wall. **CONTROITIVE** materializes from static, panicked but composed.* **CONTROITIVE** “You’ve activated a harmonic fracture. We must balance it—before *it* finds us.” **[SCENE 3 – A STORM WITHIN]** *The atmosphere thickens. **FIZZIN’** cups a charge between his hands, eyes wild.* **FIZZIN’** “If we amplify the chaos, maybe we can redirect it. Or… explode. Could go either way!” *Suddenly, plasma arcs off the ceiling. **ZINCKO** leaps into it, vanishing. Then reappearing. Then vanishing again.* **ZINCKO (echoing)** “I’m not just *invisible.* I’m untethered!” *All energies converge. The characters form a sync-circle, each channeling their element into a dissonant groove. Just as balance seems possible...* **[ENDING TEASE – THE CORE OF WHO?]** *A huge construct rises from the rift—glitchy, elemental, and unmistakably shaped like **Box n’ Stuff**.* **GLITCHY CONSTRUCT (V.O.)** “Who made the melody... and who broke it?” **BOX N’ STUFF (gulping)** “Okay. I *might* be my own boss battle.” **[TO BE CONTINUED]**
