Otto & Sam -- "The Smartest Mutant" The scene is high in the mountains, to the lair of Confuse-us, the wise dog of the mountain. He sits on his pillow as he is talking to his daughter Catherine. CONFUSE-US (smiles): Catherine, someday you'll be taking over for me as the wise dog of the mountain. That's why I brought you with me today, so you can start your training! CATHERINE (nods); Yes father.. CONFUSE-US (smiles): Ok now, daughter, the first thing ya gotta know is how to talk in rhyme, like this! (clears throat): The answer you seek, oh man so meek, lies in the stars, or a GMC car.... CATHERINE (rolls eyes): Er... ok... CONFUSE-US (smiles): The next thing ya gotta know is the proper way to open a box of cocktail weinies! (looks around): Did you bring the box? CATHERINE (points with paw): It's right in front of you, dad CONFUSE-US (nods): So it is! See, you're gettin' smart already being up here with me! CATHERINE (points with paw): Father, two dog creatures are approaching! CONFUSE-US (happy): That's great! Now, stand back and watch your old man in action! Hunter and Colleen walk up to the top and are now standing beneath Confuse-us. CONFUSE-US (smiles); Hunter! Colleen! Nice to see ya! Did you bring the cheesy cocktail weinies? HUNTER (sternly); Not exactly! Colleen throws a metal ball at Confuse-us which releases a net over him. CONFUSE-US (struggling): HEY!! WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE?? The two imposters remove their mask to reveal them to be Parvo and Groomer GROOMER (angry); YUCK!!! I hate dressing up like those accused Road Rovers! PARVO (points): But it worked Groomer! Look! We have the wise dog of the mountain! CATHERINE (shouts); HEY!! LET MY FATHER GO!! GROOMER (takes out clippers): And what do we have here? Some fur to add to my collection! PARVO (points): Don't just stand there, grab her! She will be of use to us! CONFUSE-US (shouts); RUN!!! RUN AWAY!!! Groomer runs after Catherine and after a short chase catches her in a burlap bag CONFUSE-US (shouts): HEY!! LET HER GO!!! IT'S ME YOU WANT!! PARVO (coughs): No, actually, I want BOTH of you! Now the scene switches to the training room inside of Road Rover Mission Control. Otto Jr, Emily and Ameilia are busy with training exercises. Watching in a corner of the room are Otto, Samantha, Marauder, Alethia, Tungstun and Uncle Buford. OTTO (sternly): Our children display extraordinary abilities far beyond my understanding UNCLE BUFORD (nods): Those bionic components they possess are almost futuristic! It'll take me months of research just to begin to comprehend them.. MARAUDER (smiles); They are the picture of health! It's amazing they are only two weeks old and yet are fully grown adults! TUNGSTUN (nods): The swamp dog sure has powerful magic! ALETHIA (nods): Amazing! What do you think, Sam? (sees her) Sam? Samantha watches the three siblings train with tears forming in her eyes. ALETHIA (takes her by the hand): Sam, let's you and me talk alone, ok? Alethia takes Samantha out of the room and into the now empty lounge area. ALETHIA (softly): Sam, something's bothering you, isn't it? It helps to talk about these things... SAMANTHA (sobbing): I've miss it all, Alethia, ma'am! ALETHIA (softly): Missed what, Sam? SAMANTHA (crying): I've missed my children's whole life! (sobbing): I never got the chance to raise them, to hold them in my arms. I never got to feed them, dress them, paper train them..... ALETHIA (hugs Samantha): I know, Sam, I know. SAMANTHA (crying): Because of the accident with Parvo's machine.... ALETHIA (nods): You feel cheated, don't you? SAMANTHA (crying): Ever since I married Otto, I dreamed of having puppies, of watching them grow up, playing with them in the park... taking them to the movies.... ALETHIA (nods, still hugging Sam): Sam, try not to think about what you've lost. Think about the positive side of all of this SAMANTHA (sobs): Positive side? ALETHIA (smiles): Yes, look at it this way. You have three beautiful, healthy children! Three children who survived a terrible ordeal along with their mother. Maybe all of this isn't what you expected. No one really expected things to happan like this, but the important thing to remember is that they are your family. Long ago, you and your siblings had to adjust to the loss of your mother. Now, you have to adjust once again, you have to accept what has transpired and make the best of it, right? SAMANTHA (nods, crying): You are right, Alethia, ma'am... thank you... Samantha and Alethia hug once more as the scene switches back to the training room where the Gila Monster now walks in front of the three children. GILA MONSTER (smiling): Now, let's do some real training! Pretend that I'm a bad guy and attack me with all you got! OTTO JR (sternly); Are you certain that this is wise? AMEILIA (sternly): You could be severely injured! EMILY (sternly): Is this a good idea, Mr Gila Monster, sir? GILA MONSTER (giggles): Look, I promises to be gentle with yous kiddies, Ok! ATTACK ME!! BRING IT ON!!! The three nod and lunge towards the Gila Monster. Otto, Tungstun, Marauder and Uncle Buford look on as they watch the lightning fast fight. OTTO (shocked): This is rather unexpected! TUNGSTUN (turns away): That's gotta hurt! MARAUDER (surprised): How much more can the Gila Monster take? UNCLE BUFORD (nods): They are so quick, I can barely follow their motions! Princess frantically rushes into the room. PRINCESS (screams): STOP IT, YOU'RE HURTING HIM!!! Princess 'freezes' time long enough to pull the Gila Monster away from the fighting. When time 'restarts' Ameilia, Otto Jr and Emily are surprised to find the Gila had 'disappeared'. OTTO JR (sternly): The Gila Monster is an excellent fighter AMEILIA (nods): I concur, brother EMILY (sadly): Scanning..... OH NO!! He is injured! PRINCESS (shaking him): Gila! Wake up! Speak to me!! GILA MONSTER (dreamily): Now I promises to take it easy on yous guys..... er..... EMILY (concerned): Mr Gila Monster, sir, we're so sorry.... OTTO JR (nods): This is regretable..... AMEILIA (nods): Perhaps we should refrain from this type of training in the future... PRINCESS (sadly): Look at him! He's all bruised up and bleeding! Emily places her hand on the Gila Monster's head and closes her eyes. His body glows for a few seconds then stops. Instantly, the Gila stands up and looks at himself. GILA MONSTER (surprised): WOW!! I ain't never felt better! PRINCESS (shocked); Amazing! OTTO JR (nods): This is a pleasing development AMEILIA (nods): I agree. EMILY (sadly): I'm so sorry we beat you up like that, Mr Gila, sir.. GILA MONSTER (looks at her): Emily, I asked fer it, remember? Besides I ain't had so much fun in years! Yous guys are really great fighters! Y'all are doin' your mom and dad proud! Suddenly, the Master blares out over the loud speaker. MASTER (over PA): ALL ROVERS REPORT TO THE BRIEFING ROOM!!! Soon, Marauder, Otto, Samantha, Alethia, Tungstun, Princess, Emily, Ameilia, Otto Jr and the Gila Monster take their seats and listen to the Master. MASTER (sternly): Sad news, my Rovers. Confuse-us, the wise dog of the mountain, has been taken captive by General Parvo! SAMANTHA & EMILY (shocked, in unison): OH NO!!! MARAUDER (shocked): That nice old cocker spaniel that sits on the mountaintop? PRINCESS (upset): What would Parvo want with him? MASTER (shakes head): I am not certain, but whatever the reason, you Rovers must stop him! The scene now switches to Parvo's secret base under the Arizona desert. Confuse-us and Catherine are in separate pet carriers which Parvo and Groomer are carrying. The one containing Confuse-us is played in the Cano-Mutator as Catherine shouts and barks in anger. Within a few seconds, Confuse-us is now a six and a half foot tall cano-mutant. CONFUSE-US (deeper voice): Parvo, I refuse to do your bidding! Let me and my daughter go or I'll.... PARVO (smiles): Or you'll WHAT, old dog! This is MY base, MY operation and I make the rules here! You will do exactly what I say every time I give you an order or you can say goodbye to your precious daughter! CATHERINE (shouts): Don't do it, father! You can't do evil for him! GROOMER (closing Catherine's muzzle shut): SHUT UP, MUTT!!! CONFUSE-US (sadly): I have no choice... (turns to Parvo): I am yours to command, General Parvo... PARVO (evil grin): I'd thought you'd see it MY way! (coughs) Now, this is your first order.... The scene switches back to Mission Control, where as the Rovers are meeting, the Master receives a distress call. MASTER (looks at computer printout): Terrible news, Rovers! Someone is raiding the United States Mint in San Francisco! HUNTER (on screen): Master, we've intercepted the distress call, we'll handle it! MASTER (into mic): Who is with you, Hunter? HUNTER (on screen): Colleen, Blitz, Shag, Exile, Daidem, Cobber and Dervish! MASTER (nods): Very well, Hunter, be careful.. The scene is now aboard the Sonic Rover Hunter is piloting. HUNTER (shouts): Ok crew, we'll be in San Francisco in five minutes! DAIDEM (nods); Good! I could use a good manicure! EXILE (looks at her): Comrade Daidem, we are on a mission! DAIDEM (defensive): Me too! I am on a mission of beauty! BLITZ (smiles): I'll say dat again! DAIDEM (upset): One more step, and I vill bust you in the chops! COLLEEN (whispers to Hunter): I like her more every bloomin' day! COBBER (shakes head): Cripes! Will you two break it up? DERVISH (laughing): Or get a room! SHAG (confused): Ruh rhat? DERVISH (whispers to Shag): I'll explain it later, pal. DAIDEM (looks in pocket mirror): I vould not be in any room alone wit dat veiner snitzel! BLITZ (confused): So, vhat are you trying to say? EXILE (laughs): I tink that's German for get lostski! BLITZ (crying): NO!!!! HUNTER (sternly): Settle down guys, we're about to land... COLLEEN (looks at Hunter): One of your standard landing? HUNTER (proudly): Of course! COLLEEN (shouts); Everyone! Assume crash postions! Hunter safely lands the Sonic Rover near the US Mint. Outside several mutants can be seen carrying off huge sacks of money. HUNTER (points): Let's take'm down, Rovers! Before Hunter can move a muscle, a gun fires a blob at his legs, it acts like a 'straight jacket which wraps around his ankles, causing him to fall to the ground. COLLEEN (angry): Blimey! You bloaks are gonna pay for that! As Colleen moves to tackle a mutant, the mutant turns around. He's holding a huge piece of a flypaper like sheet which he drops on top of the charging Collie. Colleen is wrapped in it and after struggling for a minute, is trapped inside of it. EXILE (angry): Bolshoi! I save you, Comrade Colleen! As Exile aims and fires his freeze vision, a mutant jumps in front of the ray holding a mirror, the freeze ray reflects off the mirror and freezes Exile solid. All of this causes Shag, Blitz and Daidem to get scared and run back towards the Sonic Rover. When they do, all three fall into a pit that had been dug earlier. COBBER (looks at Dervish): We gotta save our friends! DERVISH (nods): Right! We'll separate and ... Suddenly, a familiar voice is heard screaming. MUTANT (sounding like Sheena): COBBIE!!! HELP ME!!! PARVO HAS ME TRAPPED!!! COBBER (excited): SHEENA!!! (draws sword): I'm goin' free here! DERVISH (shouts): Cobber! Wait! It's a set up!!! As Cobber rushes towards the voice of Sheena, two gas bombs in front of Cobber and Dervish, they are out cold in seconds. PARVO (shouts): I can't believe it! GROOMER (happy): We have eight Rovers! PARVO (turns to Confuse-us): They acted just like you predicted they would! GROOMER (nods): And you also predicted the exact ways we could catch them! Good work! CONFUSE-US (shakes head): I don't like doing this! It ain't right! PARVO (angry): Remember, you either continue to dispense your 'wisdom' for us, or Catherine dies! CONFUSE-US (sadly): Yes... General Parvo..... PARVO (happy): This is just the beginning! Soon, we'll capture every single Road Rover! Then, I'll be finally free to take over the entire world! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- to be continued.........
