This is an episode plot I wrote of a series involving a team of superheros and a group of villains who are trying to obtain some powerful item from the superheros. I came up with it during a nap (which, at the time, was more detailed than I've laid out here). This plot could easily fit into an episode of something like Sailor Moon.

As it is, this plot isn't very human-readable. I recommend copying it and pasting it into a text editor and replacing the bracketed symbols with actual names.

[A]

Evil lord

[B]

[A]'s Henchman

[C]

Good guys

[D]

Powerful item

[E]

Another of [A]'s henchmen

[A] sends [B] to fight [C] and return with [D]. [B] promises [A] that [B] will be successful. [B] fights [C] and fails. [B] returns to [A]. [B] admits [B] was a fool for promising success. [A] says that [A] doesn't like failure and readies to kill [B]. [B] calls [A] a fool and points out that [B] is more capable for the job than the alternatives and that more time is needed for success. [E] asks [A] to give [B] another chance. [A] mentions that [E] is quite the friend of [B]'s and that that friendship could prove fatal for [E]. This gives [B] an idea. [B] tells [A] that [B] will convince [C] that [B] wants to be [C]'s friend. [B] points out that [C] values friendship above anything, and that that will put [B] in a position to easily obtain [D]. [A] agrees and gives [B] one more chance, as long as [B] reports back to [A] regularly.

[B] comes to [C1]'s house, looking as if [B] has been beaten nearly to death. [C1] opens the door and [B] collapses to the ground, weakly pleading [C1] for help. [C1] takes [B] in and they talk. [B] explains that when [B] returned to [A] unsuccessful, [A] was outraged and tried to kill [B]. [B] states that perhaps even good people have to do bad things sometimes. [C1] is confused by this comment, and [B] reveals that [B] has been taught that [C] is evil and works to destroy the world and bring about suffering. [C1] ensures [B] that that is not true and that [B] has been brainwashed. [B] acts reluctant to believe. [B] accuses [C1] of trying to turn [B] against [A]. [C1] reminds [B] that [A] tried to kill [B]. [B] acknowledges this. [C1] approaches [B]. [B] acts nervous and asks what [C1] is doing. [C1] tells [B] that [C1] wants to give [B] a hug. [B] asks what a hug is. [C1] is surprized and explains the process of the hug. [B] acts as if [B] expects the hug to hurt. [C1] ensures [B] that it's supposed to feel good. [B] says that [B] does not trust [C1] yet, with an appearance of feeling guilty about refusing the hug. [C1] says that [C1] understands and backs off. [C1] notes that it's getting dark and asks if [B] has any place to stay. [B] says that [B] will find some place. [C1] invites [B] to stay in [C1]'s house. [B] says that [B] wouldn't feel comfortable sharing a bunker with [C1]. [C1] notes [B]'s choice of words and explains that [C1] has two bedrooms. [B] acts puzzled as to why [C1] would need two bedrooms and accepts the offer. [C1] offers [B] a good night. [B] asks why it is a good night. [C1] explains that it's an expression that friends say when they're going to sleep. [B] asks what a friend is. [C1] says that [B] will find out soon. [B] teleports to [A]'s throne room and explains that [C1] is being very welcoming to [B].

[C1] wakes up and finds [B] sitting on the couch patiently. [C1] offers [B] a good morning and [B] returns it. [C1] asks how [B] slept. [B] says that [B] has never slept on something so soft before. [C1] asks what [B] would like for breakfast. [B] explains that [B] usually has (a series of fictional dishes). [C1] explains that [C1] has never heard of those before. [B] asks [C1] to make whatever [C1] usually eats. [C1] shows [B] a selection of cereals. [B] looks bewildered and says that the foods look interesting. [C1] pours [C1] and [B] each a bowl of cereal. [B] watches [C1] eat a spoonful of cereal, and then [B] lifts a spoonful to [B]'s nose and smells. [C1] laughs and tells [B] to just eat it. [B] puts it in [B]'s mouth and begins choking on the milk. [B] finally gets it down and again describes the cereal as interesting. [C1] asks if [B] would like a different kind of cereal. [B] hesitates and says that [B] still has cereal left. [C1] says that [B] can just throw it away if [B] doesn't like it. [B] develops an angry expression and asks if [C1] would throw away perfectly good food. [B] accuses [C1] of trying to destroy the world with [C1]'s waste. [C1] is surprized by this reaction and ensures [B] that it isn't that big of a deal and that the cereal isn't expensive. [B] says that the notion is preposterous and that [B] will eat the rest of the cereal. [B] adds that [B] would normally be beaten for suggesting such a thing. [C1] apologizes and admits that it isn't right to waste food. [B] apologizes for suggesting that [C1] is trying to destroy the world. There is a period of silence and then [C1] asks if [B] would like to meet the rest of [C]. [B] hesitates at first and then accepts. [C1] calls up [C2] and explains that [B] (the one whom they had fought previously) was eating breakfast with [C1] and that it would be nice if [B] could meet all of [C]. [C2] demands why [C1] would let [B] in [C1]'s house alone. [C1] tries to briefly explain that [B] was almost killed by [A] and that [B] wants to befriend [C]. [C2] insists that [B] cannot be trusted. [C1] explains that [B] slept in [C1]'s house the previous night. [C2] asks if [C1] is out of [C1]'s mind. [C2] says that [C] is coming over and hangs up the phone. [B] asks if [C2] is angry and [C1] says that it's okay, and that [C2] is only concerned for [C1]'s safety. [B] asks if [C1] feels safe, even though [B] used to work for [A]. [C1] says that [C1] believes people should be given second chances. [B] is genuinely startled by this comment. [B] explains that when [B] asked [A] for a second chance, it only further infuriated [A]. But, [B] explain, if it were not for that request, [B] might not be alive today. [B] explains that [A] was so furious that [A] decided to make [B]'s death a slow one, rather than the quick death that [A] was initially going to give, and that [B] was able to escape because a fight had broken out and most of the guards left for a few minutes. [B] adds that all of those guards have likely been executed by [A] by now, since [A] had ordered, with reason, for numerous guards to hold [B] down. [B] says that [B] is certainly a better fighter than [C1], but that [B] underestimated the collective strength of [C]. [B] says that [B] never realized how powerful allies can be. [C1] says that [C] isnt just allies.

The rest of [C] come in through the door, ready for a fight. [C1] and [B] stand up quickly. [B] has a frightened and pleading expression. [C2] tells [C1] to get away from that monster. [C1] explains that [B] isn't a monster and that they can trust [B]. [B] apologizes for what [B] tried to do and says that [B] will never aid [A] again. [C2] says that [B] is lying. [C1] tells [C2] that [C2] doesn't know anything. [B] tells [C1] to stop and explains that the rest of [C] has the right to be mad. [B] asks that [C] just gives [B] a chance. [C1] pleads to the rest of [C]. [C2] reluctantly agrees to give [B] a chance but warns that [C2] will be watching [B]. All of [C] except [C1] leaves the house, but stay hidden just outside the front door. [B] asks [C1] why the rest of [C] is so persistant in protecting [C1]. [C1] explains that it's called friendship. [B] explains that [A] strongly discourages this kind of behavior and that people are often executed because of it. [B] says that [B] wants it. [C1] says that [B] has it with [C1]. [B] asks if [B] can try one of those hug things. [B] and [C1] hug. [B] says that [B] never wants to go back to [A] again and [C1] says the same. [C2] comes in from around the corner and explains that if [C1] thinks that [B] is trustworthy, then so does [C2]. The rest of [C] agrees. [B] leaves for the bathroom. Inside, [B] teleports to [A]'s throne room. [A] asks if [B] has [D] yet. [B] asks [A] to have patience, and explains that now the rest of [C] is building trust for [B]. [A] tells [B] to keep up the good work. [B] says that [B] has an idea how to get things really going.

The next day, a monster appears in the city. [C] attempts to fight it, but they find it difficult. [B] arranges some kind of trap to disable [C1]. The monster is almost upon [C1] when [B] jumps in and protects [C1], wounding [B] in the process. [C2] then defeats the monster. [C] thanks [B] for coming to the rescue. [C2] notices some remnant of what [B] used to temporarily disable [C1] and finds it fishy. As they are walking away, [C2] whispers something to [C1]. Back at [C1]'s house, [C] discusses why the monster was sent. [B] explains that it was probably to obtain [D], the same reason that [B] was sent before. [C1] says that it was fortunate that [B] was there to protect [C1], or else the monster would have taken it from [C1]. [C2] is surprized that [C1] just revealed to [B] that [C1] was in posession of [D]. [B] says that [B] is just thankful that [C1] wasn't hurt. [C1] asks [B] to come into another room with [C1] to help fetch something. In that other room, [B] asks [C1] what is so important about [D] that [A] wants it so badly. [C1] explains its power and says that it might be safer in [B]'s hands. [B] immediately refuses, saying that [C1] shouldn't trust that power with anyone. [C1] is surprized, and then surprized that [C1] was surprized. [C1] begins sobbing. [B] asks what is wrong. [C1] explains that [C1] doubted [B]'s integrity and that [C1] offered [D] to find out if [B] was still working for [A]. [B] comforts [C1] and tells [C1] not to feel guilt, and that [B] occasionally has passing thoughts questioning [C]'s integrity as well. [B] explains that it is likely residual effects of the brainwashing. [C1] places [C1]'s hand in [B]'s, and then removes it, leaving behind [D]. [B] looks surprized that [C1] has given [D] to [B]. [B] tries to refuse it, but [C1] insists, saying that [B] really is more suited to protect it, and that [C1] feels it is safer with [B] than with [C1]. [B] finally accepts it. [C1] leaves the room. [B] places [D] on the counter in front of [B] and teleports to [A]'s throne room. [B] informs [A] that [B] nearly has [D], and that it should be in [B]'s posession by the end of the day. [B] explains that [C1] has offered [D] to [B], and that after [B] refused, [C1] explained that [B] had passed a test. [B] explains everything except that [B] is currently in posession of [D].

[B] teleports back to the house. Facing the wall, [B] sighs and says to self, [A] will have it soon enough. [B] turns around and sees [C2] there, facing [B]. [B] looks terrified. [C2] says that [C2] knows that [B] was just with [A] and that soon all of [C] will know that [B] is a traitor. [B] tries to explain that it isn't what it seems and that [B] was just about to explain everything to all of [C], but [C2] starts walking away to the main room. [B] tells [C2] to stop. [B] places [D] in [C2]'s hand and tells [C2] to give it to [C1]. [C2] asks why [B] had [D]. [B] explains that [C1] gave it to [B] because [C1] trusted [B], but that [B] has no right to be in posession of it if [C] can't trust [B]. [C2] is startled. After a pause, [C2] tells [B] to go explain what [B] was going to explain to [C]. [B] enters the main room and explains a summary of the true events, including how [B] tols [A] that [B] was going get [C] to trust [B] so that [B] could get a hold of [D]. [C] is shocked, and [C1] is crushed. [B] explains that [B] doesn't intend to deliver [D] to [A] and that [B] truly wants to be [C]'s friend. [C] asks [B] how [C] can trust [B]. [C2] says that [C2] trusts [B], and procedes to explain how [B] returned [D] to [C2]. [C2] asks [C] why [B] would do that when [B] could have easily taken [D] and run off. [B] asks for [C]'s help to destroy [A], and [C] agrees to help.

[B] enters [A]'s throne room with [C] in chains. [A] asks if [B] has [D]. [B] says no, and shows [A] something like looks like [D]. [B] explains that what even [C] believed was [D] was really a fake, and that [B] didn't know where the real [D] was. [B] laughs and explains how [C] still believes that [B] is on [C]'s side. [B] says that [C] put the chains on themselves and walked willingly and they they thought they were here to defeat [A]. [B] adds, to [C2], that [B] knew that [D] was a fake from the beginning, and that's the reason that [B] didn't run off with it. [C] is shocked yet again and [A] is positively amused. [B] requests a torture session with [C] and [A] grants it to [B]. Alone in the torture cell, [C] is given [B] cold stares. [B] unchains [C] and hands [D] back to [C1]. [C1] asks [B] what [B] is doing, and [B] explains that that [D] is the real one. [B] says that this was the only way to get them all this close to the throne room. [B] tells [C] to wait in the cell, and [B] goes into the hall and asks the guards to come with [B]. [B] brings them into the cells. They are surprized to see [C] out of their chains, and [B] and [C] knock them out and chain them to the wall. [B] then leads [C] through the now empty halls to the throne room. [B] enters the throne room alone and informs [A] that [B] knows where the real [D] is. [C] then enters the room and [C1] activates [D], destroying [A].
