Otto & Sam -- "The Omega Battle" The scene is the huge Lockheed-Marietta plant near Seattle, Washington. The night shift has just ended with all the airplane workers leaving for the night. In the distance, three sinister looking Wolf-Sapiens are watching the front gate with 'night-vision' binoculars. They are General Wolfeye, Commondore Wing and Leiutenant Target of the KH Military. WOLFEYE (smiles); Excellent! The last of the human workers are leaving the plant! Soon we can commence with Operation Looking Glass! WING (nods): I can't wait to see the Omega Squadron back in action! It's been a while since the Iron Fist operation and ... TARGET (wild laugh): Hey! Don't get me started on that one, sir! Those lousy Road Rovers sticking their long snouts into our business! I want to invade NOW! WOLFEYE (looks at Target): NOT YET!! I haven't given the order! Do you understand me? Wing, let's go over the plan one more time! WING (salutes): Yes sir! First, we secure the building and lock up all the plant's security personnel in the basement. Then we steal the B-2 Bomber they've been working on and return to our secret base in Missouri! We then report to Supreme General Stalker and await further orders, correct? TARGET (weird laugh): Piece of cake! Or is that pie? Come to think of it I'd rather have a chocolate brownie with nuts! WING (whispers to Wolfeye): That's what Target is, NUTS! Are you sure he's sane enough for duty? WOLFEYE (whispers back): Well, he has acted strangely since that electric fence incident a year ago, but he's the most aggressive soldier we have! WING (nods, whispers): Ok, sir. I trust your judgment. TARGET (points): Hey General! Looks like all the workers are gone! Give me the order to mobilize! WOLFEYE (looks thru binoculars): Very well, Wing, Target, begin the assault! Target rushes to his Rhino and waves to his platoon, the signal to begin the attack. Within a matter of minutes, the Lockheed plant is surrounded with hover tanks of the KH Military. Wing fires his rifle while Wolfeye uses his favorite TOW Missile launcher to knock out the power poles and telephone lines, instantly turning the huge plant's lights 'out'. A flying Orca attack aircraft uses it's missiles to smash down the front gate and allows a Trojan APC to move towards the central warehouse. TARGET (standing on top of a tank): Get going, troops! We have to hurry before we've discovered! Target 'goes wild' and starts shooting the wall of the building wildly with his rifle. The sounds of breaking glass and blown fuses fill the air. KH Troopers disembark from the Trojan APC and storm the center warehouse. Now the scene switches to Rover Rover Mission Control, the Master calls an emergency meeting of the Road Rovers. Present in the briefing room are Otto, Samantha Maddog, Marauder, Numbia, Poncho and DJ. MASTER (frantic): Road Rovers! All of the Road Rover Elite are with their Masters at the United Nations Peace Conference, my other Rovers are on other mission, I need for you six to investigate a break-in at the Lockheed plant in Washington State. OTTO (nods): I'm getting a silent alarm signal from the plant. We must hurry! MARAUDER (confused): Just the six of us? DJ (growls): We can take'm, no matter who they are! PONCHO (shakes fist): Si, we can kick their sorry ... NUMBIA (interrupts): Poncho, heel! Like we say in the desert, talk is cheap, deeds are priceless! OTTO (sternly): Scanning the immediate area... there are hover tanks and six Rhino humvees at the plant. According to satelite photos, these are vehicles associated with the KH Military! MASTER (shocked): OH NO! We must stop them at all costs! Where will I find more Rovers to ... (brightens) Yes! The Master pushes several buttons on his console and soon Uncle Buford appears on the view screen. UNCLE BUFORD (on screen): Master! What can this old man do for you? MASTER (frantic): The KH Military is attacking the Lockheed plant in Washington State! We have to stop them at all costs! UNCLE BUFORD (nods): Say no more, I'm summoning the Collie Squadron now! We also have Princess and the Gila Monster here with us, all of us will teleport there immediately! MASTER (nods): Hurry, we haven't a moment to lose! Master out! OTTO (sternly): I'm also calling my master, the Computer Renegade, to meet us there with the Masked Melitta and Starlight! We appear to need all the help we can get! MASTER (nods): Agreed. It's all up to you know! Good luck! OTTO (sternly): Gather sufficent weapons, the KH Military are very dangerous. Within seconds, the four Road Rovers disappear with a loud BOOM!!!!! The scene shifts back to the Lockheed plant, where the KH Military's operation is proceeding as planned. WING (salutes Wolfeye): General, all security guards have been rounded up and our soldiers have secured the B-2 Bomber. Lt. Target is standing by waiting for the order to fly it out of here! WOLFEYE (nods): Excellent, Wing! As soon as our troops open the wide panel doors, have Target taxi the bomber out to the runway.. WING (confused): But sir, there is no runway! WOLFEYE (angry): Then we'll MAKE ONE!! Now, carry out my orders! WING (salutes): Yes, sir! As the soldiers open the huge metal doors in front of the B-2 Bomber, they are shocked to see an array of cano-sapiens on the other side. It's the entire Collie Squadron, Otto, Samantha, Starlight, Princess, Gila Monster, DJ, Marauder, Masked Melitta and Computer Renegade standing with their laser rifles drawn. C RENAGADE (shouting): NOW! Power up your personal force fields and attack! The stunned soldiers watch as Molly Maddog and Otto use their super speed to take half the soldiers Gauss rifles away from them in the blink of an eye. Roger Maddog and the Gila Monster 'dive into' the disarmed soldiers and starts beating them up. Prairie Mason 'multiplies' himself several times and all of his 'selves' attack the troopers also. Vicki takes to the air and is fired at by the many KH soldiers who are hiding in the building. Abby 'flames on' and joins her sister in the air, tossing balls of fire at the soldiers who are shooting at Vicki and herself. Prairie Rose 'grows' to over fifty feet tall, grabbing advancing hover tanks in her huge hands. Otto and Starlight fired their eye lasers at other KH Trooper's Gauss rifles, instantly melting their barrels. Watching from the third floor balcony is Wolfeye and Wing. WING (shocked): I can't believe this, General! Those Road Rovers are defeating us! How did they know we were here? WOLFEYE (growling): It doesn't matter how they got here! General Stalker said to get the B-2 at ALL COSTS! Let's join Target in the B-2 and get out of here! We'll elude them once all of the stealth devices aboard the B-2 are activated. Wolfeye and Wing rush down to the ground floor and run past a column of KH soldiers defending the B-2. The Gila Monster sees them and 'clobbers' his way past the defenders and into the B-2 itself. Meanwhile, one of the KH soldiers fires a Tow missile into the back of the huge Prairie Rose. The missile explodes on her personal force field, causing her to fall forward. Both Rover and KH troopers scatter as the huge yellow retriever falls to the warehouse floor, shaking the ground when she makes impact. Wolfeye, Wing and Target take advantage of the situation and taxi the B-2 Bomber outside. Seeing the bomber exit, the remaining uninjured KH troops board their vehicles and make a quick getaway behind a huge cloud of smoke bombs. The inside of the huge hanger is badly damaged, many unconscience KH soldiers lay on the floor, Praire Rose 'shrinks' down to her normal size. Kyra and Marauder begin to attend to all of the wounded soldiers. C RENEGADE (staggers to stand up): Otto! Report! OTTO (sternly): Renegade, there are fifty two KH soldiers lying on the floor of this structure. The remaining KH force have escaped and stolen a B-2 Stealth Bomber. Of our own forces, there are five persons who are not present in this area. SAMANTHA (frantic): OH NO!!! WHO ARE THEY? OTTO (sternly): Princess, the Gila Monster, Linda Maddog, Numbia and Poncho are missing. MARAUDER (shocked): Linda's missing? (worried look) Oh no.... MELITTA (concerned): Otto, Starlight, scan for any signals from the B-2! We must find them! I have a hunch all of our missing people have been captured by the KH Military! The scene now shifts to the Omega Squadron's secret base in the Missouri wilderness. The B-2 is safely hidden within the huge underground base. General Wolfeye and Commodore Wing are on a video-phone with Supreme General Stalker, making a full report. WOLFEYE (smiling): General, I am happy to report that our mission was successful, we have the B-2 bomber hidden in our secret base hanger. STALKER (on screen): Very good. Casuality report. WOLFEYE (frowns): Well, we had fifty two of our soldiers captured, but we did manage to take two Road Rover prisoners. STALKER (on screen): Hmmmmmmmm. This is NOT acceptable! Find out where our solders are being held and plan a rescue operation. Road Rover prisoners, have you interogated them yet? WOLFEYE (slight smile): We have already tortured the huge green reptile, he seems to enjoy it too much! We even gave him truth serum, but he won't betray the other Rovers. According to our data files he is called the Gila Monster. STALKER (angry): THE GILA MONSTER! I've heard of him! He's big trouble! Gas him immediately! What about the other prisoner? WOLFEYE (nods): She is a white poodle named Princess. Our data files confirm that she was a former member of a group called the "Lost Pack". She was granted parole after turning against them... STALKER (smiles): Now this is news more to my liking! Where is she now? WOLFEYE (happy): In shackles in our brig! STALKER (furious): IN OUR BRIG? Don't you see? Treat her nicely, if she turned on her old unit, perhaps we can make her 'turn' on the Road Rovers! Think of the tacital advantage that would give us in fighting them! Take her from the brig, but keep a guard with her at all times. Offer her a good meal, See if you can't persuade her to join our side! WOLFEYE (salutes): At once, General Stalker! STALKER (nods): Very well, I'm leaving the rest of this operation in your hands. I want our soldiers rescued and that B-2 delivered to me! WOLFEYE (confused): General, with all due respect, why did you order us to steal the B-2? Don't we already have a fine Air Force? STALKER (smiles): It is true, Wolfeye, our Air Force is superior, and the stealth technology we will gain from examining this B-2 up close will make it even more superior! And once our scientists have finished in giving us all of the B-2's radar eluding secrets, we will sell it to the highest bidder! Quick cash and technical knowledge! That's what this operation is all about! WOLFEYE (nods): Yes sir! Wolfeye out! (turns to Wing): Wing, see to it that Stalker's orders are carried out! WING (salutes): I'll see to it at once! WOLFEYE (looks around): Where is Lt. Target? WING (points): He's still in the cockpit of the B-2, he insists on being the pilot to fly it to General Stalker! WOLFEYE (shakes head): More than likely, he's probably toying around with all of the computerized controls. After you see to the poodle's needs, join him in the cockpit and keep an eye on him, will you? WING (salutes): Understood, sir! The scene shifts to the brig, where Princess is chained to a wall. She had watched in terror as several KH Police Troopers dragged the Gila Monster away an hour earlier. She was still crying when Wolfeye came in accompanied by two Police Troopers. She becomes very confused when the two troopers unshackle her from her chains. PRINCESS (confused): I don't understand, where are you taking me? WOLFEYE (huge smile): My dear poodle lady, forgive us for treating you so disrespectfully... PRINCESS (angry): Where's the Gila Monster? WOLFEYE (big grin): That's not important, Princess. We have a fine steak dinner waiting for you just down the hallway .... PRINCESS (furious): I WANT TO KNOW! WHERE'S THE GILA MONSTER? ONE OF THE SOLDIERS (whispers to the other soldier): That's the green goon who just got gassed... PRINCESS (screams): GASSED??? WOLFEYE (bigger grin): Forget that reptile, my dear! Let's have dinner together and we'll discuss the bright future you could have joining OUR side! Princess is very sad about losing her lover, but she realizes that this 'dinner' could be an opportunity to escape, so she decides to 'play along.' PRINCESS (smile): You know, Wolfeye, I've always tried to keep an open mind! WOLFEYE (nods): That's the spirit! Follow me, please! As Wolfeye leads Princess down the hallway, in another part of the complex, three KH Troopers are standing by the gas chamber, where they'd just finished 'gassing' the Gila Monster in the central chamber. TROOPER (looks at monitor): Ok, that green reptile isn't moving any more, it's now safe to enter the chamber and dispose of the body. The chamber door opens and two Troopers enter, each grabbing an arm and dragging the Gila Monster out. TROOPER (watches the other troopers): That guy is heavy, I better help you drag it to the disposal area. When the third trooper joins the others, suddenly, the Gila Monster opens his eyes, swings his fists and decks all three troopers. GILA MONSTER (growls): Serves ya right! Y'all orta know that my lungs can take that kind of gas! (shakes head): What a bunch of furry gooberoos! I lost my trusty 2 x 4! (reaches over and grabs a loose lead pipe): I reckon I'll use this instead! It's clobberin' time! As the Gila Monster starts to walk towards the door, he is shocked to see a shadowy figure 'pass' through the side wall. The Gila sneaks over to it, and then swings his lead pipe at it, which passes right through the shadowy figure. Finally, the figure steps out into the light. GILA MONSTER (shocked): Linda? Oh my gosh! I tried to clobber you! LINDA (smiles): That's alright, Gila! I've been in hiding all along and I've been looking for you and Princess! Do you have any idea where she is? GILA MONSTER (shakes head): Them dingledoofs tried to gas me! If they hurt my Princess I swear I'll smash every one of ... LINDA (interrupts): Calm down, Gila. I've been walking all around this complex, it's HUGE! There must be a least one hundred of those wolf soldiers here. I know you're a tough guy, but even you can't handle all of them at once. GILA MONSTER (scratches head): I reckon you is right, Linda, what should we do? LINDA (sternly): First, let's tie up these three guards. Then I'll use my collar to make us invisible and we'll go find Princess, OK? GILA MONSTER (nods): You Maddog girls is always so smart! LINDA (nods): Ok, here we go! Linda's collar emits a green light that instantly makes the two of them invisible. Meanwhile, in the cockpit of the B-2, Wing has walked in to find Target looking very excitely at all of the flashing lights and levers in the front panel of the plane. TARGET (almost euphoric): Pretty lights! Lovely... pretty...pretty lights! WING (clears throat): At-tenn-shun! Target immediately stands to his feet and salutes. WING (smiles): At ease, Leiutenant! (holds up a 2 x 4) I brought you a gift! TARGET (takes the 2 x 4): Oh WOW! Thank you, sir! It's what I've always wanted .... er.....what is it? WING (sits down): It was that hunk of wood that the green goonie was carrying with him. I heard you like to whittle... TARGET (nods): Oh yeah! (puts it down): It'll give me something to do later! WING (smiles): Lt Target, I think you've been couped up in this cockpit way too long. Let's go to the mess hall for some chow! TARGET (shakes head): NO SIR! I WANT TO FLY THIS PLANE TO THE GENERAL! WING (nods): I know you do, Target. I promise you, I will permit you to personally deliver the B-2 to Stalker! TARGET (smiles): Cross your heart and hope to die? WING (rolls eyes): er...very well.... Cross my heart and hope to die! TARGET (happy): Oh, thank you, sir! Thank you! WING (smiles): My pleasure, now, let's go have dinner! When the two KH Officers leave the plane, a tiny 'speck' moves away from the 2 x 4 and 'grows' to become Poncho. The 2 x 4 itself then 'morphs' into Numbia. NUMBIA (relieved): Whoa! Was that close! For a minute there, I thought Target was going to start carving me up! PONCHO (nods) Si! Now we must find the others! NUMBIA (smiles): And I think I know how! You stay here, if my plan works, you'll have to be ready to fly us out of here in this thing! PONCHO (nods): Si, senorita! You can count on me! Meanwhile, the scene shifts back to Wolfeye and Princess, who are dining together. WOLFEYE (huge grin): You see, my lovely young lady, the KH Military can be very rewarding! We'll treat you MUCH better than those puny Road Rovers can! PRINCESS (smiles): I must admit, this steak is delicious! The invisible Linda Maddog sneaks behind Princess and whispers into her ear. LINDA (softly): Princess, it's me, Linda, the Gila Monster and I are safe. The news really puts a huge smile on Princess's face. WOLFEYE (huge grin): My dear Princess, I do believe you're beginning to like our hospitality! I can see the joy in your eyes! PRINCESS (wicked grin): Yes, I just hope we two FRIENDS can go out into the hallway and just FREEZE this precise moment in time! Linda gets the 'hint' that Princess just said and rushes out of the room. Wolfeye gets the wrong idea and moves closer to her. WOLFEYE (huge smile): You know, my dear, having a friend like me can be very important in this organization! After all, I am a General, and it can get SO LONELY at the top. PRINCESS (big smile): It's about to get lonelier! Princess closes her eyes and focuses, instantly she 'freezes' time. The happy poodle runs out of the room and into the hallway. She runs as fast as she can before time 'restarts'. The moment time resumes, she finds herself standing face to face with a KH Trooper. At that moment, Linda and the Gila Monster become visible and are poised to attack. TROOPER (waves hands): Wait, wait! It's me! The KH Trooper 'morphs' into the form of Numbia. NUMBIA (frantic): There's no time to explain, Poncho is waiting for us in the B-2! Let's go! Numbia morphs back into a KH Trooper while Linda uses her collar to make her, Princess and the Gila Monster invisible. The disguised Numbia leads them all into the underground hanger where the B-2 is being kept. All goes as planned until suddenly, Linda, Princess and the Gila Monster become visible again. PRINCESS (shocked): What happened? I can see you guys! LINDA (scared): Oh dear! My collar's energy has run out! NUMBIA (sternly): We've come too far now to turn back! Linda, make yourself translucent so you can draw their fire! Princess, you freeze time and get aboard the B-2! Gila Monster, make a run for it! I'll join you when I can find the button that opens the hanger doors! Now go! Linda Maddog rushes into the hanger, yelling and screaming. The guards on duty begin shooting at her and watch in pure shock when they see all of the bullets passing through her. Princess 'freezes' time long enough to climb into the B-2. The Gila Monster sneaks behind the distracted soldiers and gets on board the B-2 undetected. Numbia, still looking like a KH Trooper, finds the hanger door controls and sets them to open. One of the REAL KH Troopers sees Numbia at the control panel, and fires at her. Numbia instantly morphs into a cheetah and jumps aboard the B-2. NUMBIA (morphs back into herself): Poncho, get this thing off of the ground! PONCHO (nods): Si! Here we go! The jet engines fire up as the guards now realize the B-2 has been taken over, they shoot at the plane, but the bullets bounce off of the bulletproof plane. PRINCESS (looks around): Wait! Where's Linda? PONCHO (nervous): The doors are starting to close! It's now or never! The B-2 taxis out of the hanger, Linda runs towards the plane and with one huge jump, 'passes through' the plane's hull and into the waiting arms of the Gila Monster. LINDA (relieved): Whoa! That was too close! GILA MONSTER (smiles): It's a good thing you became solid again or I wouldn't have been able to catch you! NUMBIA (shouts): PUNCH IT. PONCHO, LET'S GET OUTTA HERE! The B-2 takes off into the sky. Soon, it is being pursued by three KH Orca jet planes. PONCHO (scared): EYE, CI WHA WHA! We got trouble! Three bogeys on the radar screen! NUMBIA (looks at screen): I can betcha they're KH Air Force planes! GILA MONSTER (looking out of a window): Whoa! Them idgits can sure fly fast! NUMBIA (pecks on her dog tag): I hope the Rovers can pick up my emergency signal! LINDA (scared): Would they really shoot us down? PONCHO (pulling back on the stick): I'm not taking any chances! Poncho makes the B-2 'weave' back and forth as the enemy planes close in. All of a sudden, a loud BOOM!!!! shakes the inside of the plane, as Otto instantly appears. NUMBIA (happy): OTTO!!! GILA MONSTER (happy): We is sure glad to see you! OTTO (sternly): I focused on your emergency signal, Numbia. Scanning... this plane appears to be in danger! LINDA (scared): No kidding! OTTO (sternly): Do not be alarmed, I have a solution! PONCHO (shouts): You better hurry, Otto! Otto nods and activates his internal image projector. The three pilots in the pursuing planes are suddenly surprised to see five identical looking B-2's in front of them, flying in different directions. Otto then makes the 'real' B-2 disappear with an invisibility screen. The pursuing KH Air Force fighters chase the other 'mirage' B-2's until one by one, they all disappear. By that time, Poncho has taken the real B-2 to an nearby US Air Force base. The scene now shifts to Road Rover Headquarters, three hours later. The Master is addressing all of the Road Rovers. MASTER (standing on podium): Road Rovers, Collie Squadron, you are all good, good dogs! The B-2 Bomber has been returned to the Air Force, and all of our Rovers have been brought back home! OTTO (looks up at Master): What about the prisoners we took? MASTER (sadly): Unfortunately, while they were at a holding center in Colorado, the KH Military managed to break them all out. OTTO (sadly): Then it would appear that we have failed you, Master. MASTER (smiling): On the contrary, you Rovers got the plane back and rescued Princess, the Gila Monster and the others! You are all good, good dogs! PRAIRIE ROSE (sadly): If I hadn't screwed up in the first place, none of this would've happaned.... PRAIRIE MASON (puts hand on her shoulder): Now, my darling, it wasn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself! BEN (stands up): Your husband is right, Rose, everything worked out in the end! ROGER (looks around): Hey! Where's Princess and the Gila Monster? Over at the motor pool area, the Gila Monster and Princess quietly walk together. PRINCESS (sadly): I was so scared today! First, I was captured. Then I watched helplessly when they dragged you away... and then when they told me you were dead.... The Gila Monster hugs Princess, who bursts into tears.. PRINCESS (crying): I love you, Gila! GILA MONSTER (holding back tears): And I loves you also, Princess! The two share a long passionate kiss. Meanwhile, in the submarine port, Marauder and Linda walk together. MARAUDER (smiles): I'm so glad that you're back, Linda! LINDA (nods): Me too, for a while it was really scary and ... Marauder reaches out and takes Linda by the hand, they slowly look up into each other's eyes and kiss. LINDA (smiles): Does this means what I think it means? MARAUDER (smiles): Well, it looks like you finally have a boyfriend, Linda! Linda and Marauder embrace and share a long, passionate kiss. --------------------------------------------------------------
