In the dimly lit confines of a steel room, a sleek British sports car addresses us directly through a pixilated, garbled video. He appears out of breath, with crates visible behind him.
LELAND TURBO
"This is Agent Leland Turbo. I have a flash transmission for Agent Finn McMissile."

LELAND TURBO
"Finn, my cover's been compromised. Everything's gone pear-shaped."

LELAND TURBO
"You won't believe what I've found out here."
He adjusts our camera view to reveal a porthole through which flames rise in the distance.
LELAND TURBO
"This is bigger than anything we've ever seen. And no one even knows it exists. Finn, I need backup. But don't call the cavalry - it could blow the operation. And be careful. It's not safe out here!"
Angry voices off-screen signal it's time for Turbo to go.
LELAND TURBO
"Transmitting my grids now. Good luck!"

EXT. SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC - NIGHT
A TINY CRAB BOAT (CRABBY) crests over massive swells.
CRABB
"Alright buddy, we're here. Right where you paid me to bring you guys. Question is, why?"
Emerging from the shadows are a hooded girl accompanied by two men, one young and dressed in a spy tuxedo, the other older and wearing a dirty jacket. Meet SHANK, KENJI KON, and JOHNNY BLAZE, a.k.a THE GHOST RIDER.
A metallic blue sports car from the '60s, cagey and smooth, emerges. He'd turn heads driving through any intersection in the world. Meet FINN MCMISSILE.
FINN
"We are looking for a car."
CRABBY
"A car? Hey pal, you can't get any further away from land than out here."
FINN
"Exactly where we want to be."
CRABBY
"Well, I got news for you, buddy. There's nobody out here but us."
JOHNNY BLAZE: "You wanna bet?"
Suddenly, a HORN sounds -- a COMBAT SHIP, the size of most cruise ships. Finn quickly backs into the shadows, out of sight.
COMBAT SHIP
"What are you doing out here?"
CRABBY
"What does it look like, genius? I'm crabbing!"
COMBAT SHIP
"Well, turn around and go back where you came from."
CRABBY
"Yeah? And who's gonna make me?"
A laser sight hits Crabby between the eyes.
CRABBY
"Alright, alright! Don't get your prop in a twist.
(As he turns to leave)
