Many figures dressed in black and wearing black hoods are at this moment robbing the bank. Two of these 'robbers' simply pull the front doors of the bank off as the others walk in. They easily smash open the safe as well, and are preparing to dash out the door holding many sacks of money. Overhead can be heard the sound of the Jet Rover as Hunter, Colleen, Blitz, Shag, Exile and Muzzle are rushing to the scene. COLLEEN (frantic): Faster Huntie-Wuntie! The Master said the bloomin' bank is being robbed! HUNTER (shouts): Prepare for landing! BLITZ (looks out window): But where's the runway? HUNTER (smiles): What runway? This causes Shag to whimper and whine and Blitz to scream. Hunter lands the Jet Rover in the city park a few blocks from the bank. The Road Rovers rush out and arrive in front of the bank just as the robbers are ready to leave with the money. HUNTER (points): Shame shame! Don't you know it's wrong to take money out of the bank when it's closed? COLLEEN (takes karate stance): Let's take'm, Rovers! BLITZ (happy): Ya! Plenty of bad guy tooschies to bite! EXILE (rolls eyes): Don't be a weird boy! Before they can spring into action, two familiar people walk out of the bank. HUNTER (shocked): PARVO!!! EXILE (angry): And the Groomer!!! PARVO (smiles): Road Rovers! We meet again! HUNTER (points): Surrender now, Parvo! We've beaten your Cano-Mutants before, and we'll beat them again! GROOMER (laughs): But these aren't Cano-Mutants! Let's show'm! The eight 'robbers' remove their black hoods to reveal that they are ...... PARVO (happy): That's right, Rovers, these are Skunk-Mutants! Hunter, Blitz, Exile, Colleen, Muzzle and Shag all look at them, then at each other, and then all burst out laughing. HUNTER (laughing): You gotta be kidding! COLLEEN (laughing): Parvo's flipped his bloomin' wig! EXILE (laughing): It's the Polecat Patrol! BLITZ (laughing): What a joke! PARVO (angry): Laugh all you want, Rovers, but they've just robbed this bank. I DARE any of you to try to stop them! COLLEEN (takes karate stance): Skunks or not, I can stop'm! (flies in the air, swinging fists): Hi YA! Yogi Berra! While Colleen manages to knock down two of the mutants, Blitz rushes in from behind. BLITZ (smiling): Let the biting of the tooschies begin! As he approaches two of the Skunk-Mutants, they immediately lift up their tails and spray. BLITZ (terrified): AK-UN-EEMAL!!! HUNTER (shocked): Oh NO! We better send in Muzzle! EXILE (nods): I agree, Comrade Hunter. Hunter and Exile turn Muzzle loose, but when the growling rottweiler lunges towards the Skunk Mutants, several of them raise their tails and spray. Muzzle whimpers, whines and runs in the other direction. HUNTER (calls out): Wait, Muzzle! Wait! Colleen is still fighting the Mutants, but soon she falls to the ground and gets sprayed. COLLEEN (horrified): EWWWW! GROSS!!!!!! EXILE (confused): This is big disaster, Hunter! What do we do? The Skunk Mutants walk towards Hunter, Shag and Exile. HUNTER (shouts): We run like crazy! Everyone, back to the Jet Rover! All six Rovers run back to the Jet Rover. GROOMER (points): Look at them run, my general! Shall we follow them? PARVO (shakes head): No need to, we have what we came for, let's return to our base! Parvo, Groomer and the eight Skunk-Mutants board Parvo's dog ship and fly away. The scene is now Road Rover Mission Control, three hours later. Hunter, Shag and Exile are giving a full report of what happaned to the Master. MASTER (shocked): Skunk-Mutants? Oh NO! (looks around) Where are Colleen, Blitz and Muzzle? HUNTER (sadly): They're all in the medical ward, they all got sprayed! MASTER (sniffs): How come we can't smell the skunk scent? HUNTER (points): When we got here, Marauder had the great idea to immediately put all three in an isolation chamber, so the smell wouldn't spread. Professor Hubert is trying to create a remedy for the smell.... MASTER (nods): I see! EXILE (concerned): Master! We have to do somethingski! Parvo's skunk creatures could take over the world! SHAG (whines): Ruh Ro! MASTER (thinking): We're going to need help on this one, I'll contact the Collie Squadron, you three go see how the Professor is coming along with a cure! Hunter, Shag and Exile leave the briefing room and walk towards the medical ward. Along the way, they meet up with Alethia, Cobber and Huntress. ALETHIA (concerned): We just heard the news.... COBBER (concerned): Are they OK, mates? HUNTRESS (sadly): Where's my Blitz? HUNTER (points): We're walking over to see them now! In the isolation chamber, Muzzle sits sadly in one corner of the room while Blitz and Colleen sit on opposite ends of a couch in the middle of the floor. BLITZ (turns to Colleen): While we are here together, pretty dog lady, we can make the best of the situation by ... COLLEEN (growls): I'd rather be sprayed by the bloomin' skunks again! BLITZ (offended): HEY! I only wanted to make conversation with you! COLLEEN (sadly): Oh... sorry bout that. I've gotten aweful short with people since I got sprayed.. BLITZ (smiles): I understand, Colleen! Now, how about giving me a big kiss! COLLEEN (shocked): WHAT??? BLITZ (smiles): We will have enjoyable time together, ya? COLLEEN (angry): KISS THIS, BLISTER!!! (karate chops him): Hugh Downs! Barbara Walters! Blitz goes flying across the room as Hunter, Shag, Exile, Huntress, Marauder, Cobber and Alethia look into the chamber through it's large glass window. HUNTRESS (distressed): MY BLITZIE!!!! ALETHIA (sadly): How long will they have to stay in there, Marauder? MARAUDER (looks at clipboard): Well, usually skunk scent wears off in a matter of days. However, these were mutant skunks, so they may have to stay in there for a week or two, until the odor ceases. COLLEEN (shocked): TWO WEEKS!!! OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLITZ (stands up): Two weeks? (huge grin): I can do that! COLLEEN (growls): Get away from me or I'll flatter you again, Blinkie! BLITZ (angry): That's Blitz! My name is Blitz! COLLEEN (angry): Come near me again and your name will be the Mummy, cause I'll put you in a bloomin' body cast! HUNTER (looks at Marauder): Isn't there any other way to remove the smell? MARAUDER (shakes head): Not unless the Professor has an idea..... (sees red light blinking on console) it's a message from Kyra at Collie Squadron Headquarters! (turns on view screen): Yes, Kyra, this is Marauder. KYRA (on view screen): The Master told us about what happaned with the skunk mutants, we maybe able to help Colleen, Blitz and Muzzle! I'll explain when we arrive! Kyra out! MARAUDER (confused): When they arrive? Arrive here? A loud BOOM!!! shakes the floor outside of the medical ward, as the entire Collie Squadron appears before them. Also with the Maddogs are Amos Doggie and Hannah. As the others walk towards the briefing room, Kyra, Amos and Hannah enter the medical ward. MARAUDER (smiles): I must say, you Collie Squaders always make a grand entrance! HUNTRESS (rushing up to Kyra): You said you could help my Blitzie-Whitzie? KYRA (smiles): Well, not me, but Amos! HUNTRESS (confused): Amos? AMOS (nods): Amos be loosing many battles with skunks over duh years, he have something to take duh smell away! HUNTER (smiles): Really? AMOS (nods): I guarantee! It be in dis bucket I carry! EXILE (doubtful): But comrade, dat's mud! AMOS (shakes head): No no, Exile, it not be mud, it be potus! Amos always mix potus when he jist sprayed by polecats! Put potus all over body, it take bad smell away! HANNAH (smiles): My husband is telling the truth! I've had to use it a few times myself over the years.... COLLEEN (presses face up against the window pane): I WANT TO TRY IT!!! I CAN'T STAND BEING LOCKED UP WITH FLUFFYPANTS ANY MORE!!! I'LL TRY ANYTHING!!!! BLITZ (angry): HEY! MARAUDER (nods): Very well, we'll begin the treatment! I'll apply the potus to Blitz, you'll apply it to Colleen and the Professor can apply it to Muzzle! PROFESSOR HUBERT (nods): Good plan, Marauder! Let's put on our gas masks and enter the chamber! The three enter the isolation chamber, Marauder and Kyra take Blitz and Colleen to separate rooms to apply the potus on them. Professor Hubert tries to treat Muzzle, but he growls, snarls and bites at him. HUNTER (looking inside from window): Muzzle doesn't like this! EXILE (shakes head): How can he be treated if he tries to attack Comrade Hubert all dee time! AMOS (smiles): Amos know how! Before anyone can stop him, Amos Doggie has entered the isolation chamber. AMOS (looks at Muzzle): Der, der, dog critter! Amos want to be helping you! (takes bucket from Hubert): here, you roll over so I can put dis potus on ya, yes? To everyone's amazement, Muzzle does exactly as Amos asked him to do. He allows Amos to cover him with the mud-like potus from head to toe. AMOS (smiles): Dat be duh good doggie! Sit still for one hour so duh smell be removed! I be staying wit you all duh way through dis! Muzzle smiles at the old dog as he lays perfectly still on the floor. The others simply can't believe what they are seeing. HUNTER (smiles): I would not have predicted this, no way! EXILE (shocked): Comrade Amos make Muzzle tame? HUNTRESS (shocked): And how can he stand the smell without a gas mask? HANNAH (smiles): I can answer that question! Amos actually enjoys skunk scent! SHAG (shocked): Ruh ruh? HANNAH (nods): It's true, Shag! He only began using this potus after he saw that I couldn't stand the smell. HUNTER (smiles): He may be the only Road Rover who does enjoy that odor! Meanwhile in the briefing room, the rest of the Collie Squadron is joined by DJ as they disscuss the current situation. MASTER (points at map): Road Rovers, Parvo's new skunk mutants have struck again, this time in a bank in Boston. BEN (nods): Understood, Master! MASTER (concerned): What will you do to combat their strong odor? OTTO (sternly): We can counteract the effects of the spray with our individual force fields. They will prevent the spray from penetrating our clothing and fur, however, they will not shield us from the aroma. VICKI (makes face): YUCK!!! COUNT ME OUT!!!! ABBY (frowns): Me too! The stench is so strong it'll take the curl out of my hair! MOLLY (angry): Sisters! Shame on you! We're Road Rovers now, and we must stop these mutants at all costs! VICKI (smirks): Easy for YOU to say, miss super speed! ABBY (nods): YEAH! LINDA (shakes head): This is getting us nowhere. SAMANTHA (sadly): Please sisters, stop quarreling! DJ (nods): Sam's right, ladies. ABBY (turns to DJ): Stay out of this! MOLLY (growls): HEY! Don't talk to DJ like that! MASTER (shouting): ROAD ROVERS!! HEEL!!! (points at map): This is where the bank is located, the silent alarm went off five minutes ago, you haven't a moment to lose! Jazz, one of our operatives, is already at the scene. His knowledge of the area may prover helpful! BEN (nods): Right Master, we're on our way! As Ben is speaking, Princess and the Gila Monster rush into the briefing room. GILA MONSTER (smiles): Sorry we is late.. PRINCESS (nods): We got here as soon as we could! OTTO (sternly): More Rovers will increase our probability of success PRAIRIE ROSE (nods): I agree, Otto! PRAIRIE MASON (nods): Let's go! BEN (shouts): Set your collars on the bank's coordinates and activate! With a loud BOOM!!!!! Otto, Samantha, Ben, Roger, Molly, DJ, Abby, Vicki, Linda, Prairie Mason, Prairie Rose, Princess and the Gila Monster arrive across the street from the bank. Jazz sees them and rushes over to Ben. JAZZ (smiles): Glad you're all here. Parvo's skunk mutants have already entered the bank. Local police that tried to stop them got beat up and sprayed. They've already gotten into the central vault, if we want to stop these creatures, it's now or never! BEN (nods): Agreed! Can you get us into the bank.... JAZZ (points): That won't be neccessary, look! Ten skunk mutants have just rushed out the front door holding sacks of money. Parvo and Groomer are standing on the front steps of the bank when they see the Rovers. GROOMER (angry): Road Rovers! PARVO (smiles): Relax Groomer, initiate plan B, NOW! GROOMER (reaches for her wrist control): Yes, my General! When Groomer pushes a button on her wrist control, the back of a nearby panel truck opens to reveal a dozen more skunk mutants armed with laser rifles. They all rush out towards Ben and the other Rovers. BEN (sternly): As Hunter would say, I would not have predicted this....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- to be continued.....
