Road Rovers (Otto & Sam) -- "End Of The Line -- Part 2" The scene is an underground secret labratory in the hills of Montana. In a dimly lit room, Daisy, Flash, Cactus Jake and Rasputin have been tied to one large table with wheels. As they wake up, they notice that their comm badges have been removed. DAISY (struggles): HEY! WHERE ARE WE?? FLASH (struggles): Looks like some sort of mad scientist's lab! CACTUS JAKE (sniffs): Smells like a barn! RASPUTIN (struggles): Wait till I get free! I'll... BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): You'll do NOTHING, mouthy mutt! DAISY (struggles): Who are you? CACTUS JAKE (shouts): Show yourselves, you band of outlaws! BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): You four dogs now have a new master... THE CIA! RASPUTIN (growls): THE CIA??? BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): That's right! We in the CIA know all about your space program and your orbiting space station! We're going to get the location of all of your Road Rover bases from you as well as your space fleet FLASH (struggles): Like we're ever going to tell YOU anything! BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): Who says we're going to ask you? Our scientists have developed a mind probing machine. Since none of you are human, we'll use it on the four of you! After all killing animals in the name of national security is no crime. DAISY (shouts): It's murder! FLASH (struggles): No matter how y'all rationalize it, it's still murder! BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): Once we download all of your knowledge into our computer banks, we'll put all of you to sleep humanely. The four of you have already been drugged so you can't use any of your so-called super powers. CACTUS JAKE (struggles): You'll never get away with this! (tries to use his eye beams): Y'all's got me so doped up, I can't fire up! BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): The four of you will welcome death since our mind probing machine is very painful and will leave your minds completely erased! DAISY (shouts): ERASED??? RASPUTIN (growls loudly): If I get my hands on you..... BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): Silence, mutt! You two she dogs have many secrets important to our government, about space and time travel that we need. Dogs were never meant to explore space, HUMANS WERE and we WILL once we drain your minds and acquire your fleet of spaceships! Proceed with phase one of our operation! As labcoated scientists begin to hook electrodes and wires to the four helpless Space Rovers, the scene shifts to the doorway outside the lab, where a short looking man in a red komono and wearing a "Wang's Restraunt" delivery hat on his head. As he approaches the door, two well armed guards points their guns at him. GUARD #1 (shouts): HALT! THIS IS A RESTRICTED AREA! GUARD #2 (shouts): ONE MORE STEP AND WE SHOOT! MAN (bowing, Chinese accent): So sorry, honorable sirs. I have delivery order for ... GUARD #1 (angry): No one called for a delivered meal! MAN (bowing, Chinese accent): You mean, no one ordered this Bonk-Bonk platter? I make long trip for nothing? GUARD #2 (confused): What's in a Bonk-Bonk platter? MAN (evil grin, voice chsnges): A PLANK OF LUMBER!!! The man takes out a 2 x 4 and bashes both guards in their heads with it. He then turns off his portable holographic projector as the guards fall to the floor. GILA MONSTER (laughs): That's why it's called the Bonk-Bonk platter, yous ugly lookin' dingledorks! Instantly, three figures appear in the hallway next to the Gila Monster. They are dressed in traditional Road Rover silver uniforms. AMELIA (sternly): Are you certain all of that violence was neccessary, Gila Monster? GILA MONSTER (nods): It was for ME! I loves beatin' up evil humans! OTTO JR (sternly): Enough useless chatter, we must continue this rescue mission. EMILY (nods): Affirmative Otto Jr, Emily and Amelia use their magical powers to morph into security guards. Gila puts on one of the knocked out guard's uniforms and stands guard with Amelia as Otto Jr and Emily enter the labratory. The unsuspecting scientists don't notice them as they continue to hook the four Space Rovers to the mind probing machine. EMILY (tele to Otto Jr): Brother, they're going to use that machine on our friends! OTTO JR (tele to Emily): We must act with discretion. Allow me to provide the neccessary diversion Otto Jr points at the machine, using his magic to make it begin to smoke. BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): The machine's overloading! Guards! Secure the prisoners! The disguised Otto Jr and Emily nod as they wheel the four bound Space Rovers towards the hallway while the scientists frantically work on repairing the mind control machine. BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): Guards halt! This is too coincidental! Something funny is going on here! Otto Jr and Emily produce a smokescreen and then wheel the table out into the hallway. Amelia uses her magic to free Daisy, Flash, Cactus Jake and Rasputin as the intruder alarm sounds. EMILY (excited): We have to leave NOW! Where's Gila? AMELIA (sternly): He said guard duty was as boring as watching grass grow so he left to find, in his words, other gooberoos to clobber OTTO JR (sternly): Illogical and irrational EMILY (upset): Please don't talk about our friend like that BOOMING VOICE (from the shadows): STOP THEM!!! STOP THEM!!! STOP.. *** loud bashing sounds **** HTTREHDD KF DUAYNAN!!! AMELIA (sternly): It is logical to assume our friend the Gila Monster found more villians to attack Suddenly, the lights come on and the alarm is silenced. The Rovers can now see the glass booth where those loud voices had come from. Behind the glass of the booth, the Gila Monster grins and waves. GILA MONSTER (on PA system): I gots them all! I loves my job! Five more gooberoos are now in lumber Slumberland! (louder): WOW!! I CAN HEARS MYSELF!!! (louder): ECHO!!!! (happy): I THINK I'M GONNA SING!! AMELIA (sternly): I don't know what is more appauling, his bad grammar, his tattered clothes, his fowl smelling breath or his off key tone death singing voice? EMILY (turns to her): That's not a very nice thing to say, dear sister. CACTUS JAKE (standing up): Thanks a heap fir gittin' us out of that mess, but you do have a plan to escape, don't ya? OTTO JR (nods): Affirmative.... They all disappear with a loud BOOM!!! and reappear at Road Rover Mission Control. Cactus Jake and Rasputin pass out as other Rovers rush over to the scene. COLLEEN (shocked): Blimey! HUNTER (shocked): HEY DOC!!! MEDICAL EMERGENCY!! Soon, Marauder and Kyra come running in. MARAUDER (looks at Cactus Jake): What happened to them? AMELIA (sternly): Cactus Jake and Rasputin seem to be suffering from the ill effects of depressant enabling chemical agents that have been introduced into.. EMILY (interrupting): They were drugged, Dr Marauder, sir! AMELIA (upset): That is exactly what I said! BLITZ (confused): I don't understand either vone of you! GILA MONSTER (scratches head): Neither does I! EXILE (shakes head): You are still weird boy! MARAUDER (concerned): Kyra, help me get these two to the infirmary OTTO JR (sternly): I will gladly assist you! AMELIA (nods): I will also assist you in this task Otto Jr picks up Cactus Jake with ease as Amelia picks up Rasputin in her arms without straining. GILA MONSTER (turns to Amelia): Yous shouldn't be totin' around all that weight, girl! Let's me do it for ya! AMELIA (upset): I am fully capable of strenuous tasks irregardless of the fact that I am female! GILA MONSTER (nods): Oh yeah.. I forgots about yous bein' bionic and all MARAUDER (frantic): Never mind all of that, let's go! FLASH (frantic): Y'all gotta make our husbands well again! DAISY (nods): We're a-comin' with ya! As Maruader and Kyra lead Otto Jr and Amelia to the infirmary, Emily and the Gila Monster turn towards Hunter and Colleen. HUNTER (sternly): Mission accomplished! Report! GILA MONSTER (turns to her): I think yous should does the talkin', Emily. Yous is better at it than I is! BLITZ (laughs): Dat's for sure! GILA MONSTER (furious): How would yous likes to be wearin' my big boot up your... HUNTER (upset): GILA! That's enough! Emily, tell me what's going on! EMILY (sadly): Mr Hunter, sir, it was the CIA that captured our friends. They were going to extract information from their minds in a most painful manner. The CIA considers all Road Rovers security risks! HUNTER (growls): Those lousy bums! I wonder if the President knows about this... EMILY (interrupting): But it gets worse, sir. I took the liberty of interfacing with their computer network and downloading their entire archive of data. They don't know of the location of Mission Control, but they do know about Cerberus! HUNTER (concerned): Cerberus? Our orbiting space station? EMILY (nods): Affirmative! They plan a secret invasion of Cerberus today! HUNTER (shocked): Invasion?? GILA MONSTER (angry, swings 2 x 4): I'll goes up there and give them humans all the lumber they can EAT!! EMILY (frantic): They are secretly launching the entire space shuttle fleet from their hidden base in Alaska! They have it well planned, they plan to fly in under the cover of the Aroura Borealis. Somehow they've gotten the basic design plan for the station. They plan to sweep in, gas all of the crew and then take over the station! (sadly): All in the name of national security they are acting on their own! HUNTER (angry): Then they could download all of our vital information directly from our computers! EMILY (concerned): What shall we do, Mr Hunter, sir? HUNTER (sly smile): I have a plan... The scene shifts to the Captain Thunder's office on board the space station Cerberus. He is currently with his First Mate Jade and First Contact Officer Darla. THUNDER (puts coffee cup down): So, Miss Darla, you are saying that having the Udorian delegation visit the station tommorrow is not a good idea? DARLA (holding a datapad, upset): Sir, have you not been reading the news? There is a growing worldwide anti-cano movement! Even in America, cano- sapiens are being attacked! JADE (shrugs): So? What does that have to do with us? We're orbiting the Earth and... DARLA (frantic): But we have humans onboard this station! How do we know they're not spies? What if they are Vorster sympathizers? THUNDER (upset): I have complete faith and trust in Amanda DeSalle and the Armington brothers! They chose to make their homes here and I know they are loyal to us. JADE (calmly): Miss Darla, you worry too much. Things have been quiet here on Cerberus for months. DARLA (sternly): Too quiet, if you ask me! THUNDER (sternly): Your objections are noted, Darla, but until I see any proof that the unrest on Earth will affect us, it will be business as usual here... As he is speaking, a loud BOOM!!! shakes the office. Darla screams and hides behind the sofa as Otto and Samantha Maddog appear before Thunder's desk. OTTO (sternly): Please forgive the sudden intrusion, Captain, but Hunter thought it best that I deliver this message to you face to face. SAMANTHA (bows head): We apologize if we startled you, Captain Thunder, sir THUNDER (points, giggles): The only one you frightened is Darla, my First Contact Officer. That's her quaking behind the couch. OTTO (sternly): That is an unorthodox procedure for dealing with sudden loud noises JADE (giggles): It is indeed, Otto. SAMANTHA (calmly): Please don't be afraid, ma'am DARLA (slowly stands up): You two nearly scared me into the afterlife! (angry): How DARE you barge in on us like this! OTTO (sternly): Urgency is needed on this matter. Captain, agents from the American CIA are planning to take control of this space station in a matter of hours! JADE (stunned): WHAT??? THUNDER (stands up): THE CIA IS COMING HERE?? DARLA (furious): I TOLD YOU SO!! THE HUMANS WANT TO TAKE THE STATION FOR THEMSELVES!! HUMANS ARE EVIL!! THUNDER (upset): Now you sound like Ol' Red. SAMANTHA (calmly): Please don't be upset. We are here to offer our help OTTO (nods): Affirmative, I am currently downloading all the data on the CIA invasion plan into your computer system. DARLA (shocked): You? Downloading information? Where is your datapad? THUNDER (sternly): Darla, meet Otto and Samantha Maddog! DARLA (surprised): THE Otto and Sam? I've heard of you two. You sure don't look like an robot, sir SAMANTHA (furious, shouting): MY HUSBAND IS NOT A ROBOT!! OTTO (sternly): Anger unneccessary. I am unharmed by mere words SAMNATHA (sadly): I apologize... (looks all around): Where is Darla? JADE (points): Hiding behind the couch again... SAMANTHA (shocked): Oh dear DARLA (stands back up, shaking): Save your rage for the humans, Mrs Maddog! OTTO (points to map): There will be five space shuttles that will launch from Alaska and attempt to avoid detection by traveling through the Aroura Boriales THUNDER (nods): Makes sense. The northern lights do affect our sensors. DARLA (happy): So THAT'S where they're coming from? Good! We can send a squad of Mustang fighters to blow them all out of the sky! OTTO (turns to her): Negative. We cannot attack them without causing serious repercusions against all Road Rovers THUNDER (nods): Otto is right, if we attack their ships, the people of the world will have an excuse to loathe us. Adrian Vorster's message will be given relevance, and we can not allow that. DARLA (smirks): So, what shall we do? Welcome them with open arms? THUNDER (sternly): That is precisely what we're going to do, Miss Darla! DARLA (startled): WHAT???? SAMANTHA (nods): That would be the polite thing to do DARLA (crazed): Oh sure! Let's invite them to dinner! We'll have an nice little tea party and.... JADE (upset): That will do, Darla! OTTO (sternly): Captain Thunder, I have formulated a plan that will achieve all of these goals, if I am be allowed to submit it THUNDER (nods): By all means, Otto, tell us what you have in mind... The scene now shifts to above the Earth, several hours later. Five U.S. Space Shuttles are jetting towards the Cerberus. Now the scene shifts to the shuttle Energia where CIA Agent Commander Tuliver leads the team. TULIVER (on radio to all the shuttles): This is Commander Tuliver, mission is still a go, repeat, we are a go for Operation Dog Catcher. We will proceed to the docking ring of the station as we have rehearsed. Remember to keep your masks in place as we spray the gas. Only when we have killed all of the animals that are on that station will we be able to secure it and complete our mission. Good luck and good hunting. Commander out. Immediately Thomas appears behind him, having used his magical powers to board the shuttle. TULIVER (turns around, takes out his pistol): Don't move, cat creature! THOMAS (big grin): That's exactly what I was going to tell you! Thomas snaps his fingers and instantly 'freezes' Tuliver and all of the other CIA agents on the shuttle. THOMAS (smiles): That was easy! (takes the gun out of Tuliver's hand): Don't you know that guns are dangerous? Thomas now moves the pilot out of his chair and sits down. THOMAS (taps comm badge): Thomas to Ops! I have secured the lead shuttle! PORTHOS (on comm): Good work! You're the last one! Emily, Otto Jr, Amelia and Patch have already secured the other shuttles without incident. Pilot your shuttle to docking ring four, we will meet you there, Porthos out. The scene shifts to an empty cargo bay in the Cerberus, a half hour later. All of the CIA agents are still magically 'frozen' and have been teleported to the empty cargo bay. Thunder, Jade and Ol' Red are there to greet them along with Porthos, Thomas, Patch, Otto Jr, Emily and Amelia. THUNDER (sternly): Is the force field in place? OL' RED (nods): I got it up, Captain! THUNDER (nods): Very well, reanimate our.... guests The six magical ones lift their hands into the air, shut their eyes, and focus on the CIA personnel, which instantly begin to move again. TULIVER (surprised): HEY! Where are we? THUNDER (sternly): I can answer that question, Commander Tuliver. I am Captain Thunder of the Space Station Cerberus and... TULIVER (furious): YOU? CAPTAIN THUNDER?? You're just a glorified dog in human clothes! I will not listen to you! OL' RED (rolls up sleeves): Let ME at'm, I'm make'm respect ya! THUNDER (upset): At ease, Lt Red! We are not here to harm our guests TULIVER (furious): Guests? GUESTS?? We're in this iron cage of yours, how can you call us your guests? JADE (concerned): Commander, please allow us to explain... TULIVER (angry): We don't wanna hear from you dog creatures! AMELIA (sternly): Perhaps there is one you will listen to Slowly walking towards the force field are Otto and Samantha, in their pure canine forms. Tuliver looks upon them in total shock. OTTO (sternly): Do you remember us, Commander Tuliver? TULIVER (points): I don't believe it! Otto and Sam? You're the Computer Renegade's dogs! I was there that day your team was invited to the White House! I saw how the big reptile man took a bullet for President Clinton! GILA MONSTER (turns the corner, walking towards them): Yous gooberoos still owes me a new leather jacket! TULIVER (surprised): You three are involved in this dog creature plot to take over the world? OTTO (sternly): Your statement is in error. My friends on Cerberus have the same basic mission that my wife, the Gila Monster and I do. That is to protect our world from the threats of crime and... TULIVER (angry): That's not true! Your so called friends stole our weapons and who knows what they did to our shuttles! OTTO (sternly): If your premise is correct, that the Cerberus crew are all evil, why are you and your troops still functioning? TULIVER (confused): Huh? GILA MONSTER (points): If my pals are so mean, why didn't they jist blow you and your loyal dingledorks to smizereens? SAMANTHA (calmly): As you can see, every member of your squad is unharmed, Mr Tuliver, sir OTTO (sternly): And your five space shuttles are docked in section B, deck 11 of the port docking ring. THUNDER (calmly): Give us a chance to prove our good intentions, before you judge us. If you give me your word that you'll not attempt to escape or disrupt this station, I'll give you a grand tour. TULIVER (blank look): I'm not sure about this.. SAMANTHA (sad eyes look): Please, Mr Tuliver, sir TULIVER (calmly): AWWWWWW! Who could say no to you, Sam. Alright Captain Thunder, you have my word. THUNDER (nods): Very well, follow me... Otto Jr snaps his fingers, Tuliver instantly appears outside of the force field TULIVER (shocked): How did you do that? OTTO (sternly): My offspring share my special abilities TULIVER (smiles): So they're chips off the old microblock, right? GILA MONSTER (smiles): Yous could says that! TULIVER (turns to them): What about the other members of my team? THUNDER (sternly): If they will give their word as you have, then they will be allowed to follow us during our tour OL' RED (growls): But if y'all gits outta line, I'm gonna... JADE (shouts): RED! HEEL! TULIVER (a little scared): I think we get the message The scene shifts to Mission Control, where the Master is on a 'conference call' with Admiral Persia of the Canius Minor, Captain Rikes of the Galatea and Captain Boomer of the Challenger. MASTER (sternly): So there you have it, my Rovers. PERSIA (concerned): Are my crew members safe? MASTER (nods): Yes Admiral, all four of them are here with us RIKES (sternly): And the CIA attempt to take over the Cerberus... MASTER (sternly): Has been stopped. Captain Thunder did not physically attack them or their shuttles. He is trying to show them that we are not a danger to them BOOMER (shakes head): Never thought I'd see the day that mankind would think of us as the enemy! After all we have done for them! MASTER (sternly): Most of the world doesn't know the extent of our heroics, Boomer. Only top government officials around the world are aware of the existance of the Space Rovers PERSIA (sternly): Can they not speak up on our behalfs? MASTER (sternly): No Admiral, that would cause worldwide panic RIKES (sternly): Has the CIA informed the public about us? MASTER (shakes head): Not yet, but with their raiding party failing to secure Cerberus, it is difficult to know what they may do next BOOMER (concerned): What are your instructions, Master? MASTER (sadly): We cannot risk any of your ships returning to Earth. Your orders are to continue your present missions. Under no circumstances are you to bring your vessels to Earth until further notice, is that clear? PERSIA (concerned): But Master... if the humans find Mission Control... MASTER (angry): You have your orders, Admiral! PERSIA, RIKES & BOOMER (nods): Yes Master Suddenly, red lights begin to flash as the underground Mission Control shakes, nearly knocking the Master out of his chair. RIKES (shouts): MASTER!!! BOOMER (shouts): WHAT'S GOING ON? PERSIA (shouts): MASTER! MASTER!! MASTER (looks all around): You have your orders! Mission Control out! FLASH (comes running in): Master! We have intruders! DAISY (comes running in): They found the outer door of our launch hanger and have blown off the doors with dynomite! MASTER (sternly): It has begun. (shouts on PA): BATTLE STATIONS, MY ROVERS! WE MUST MEET THE INTRUDERS! Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the outskirts of the solar system. As the Doomstar passes by Pluto, the scene shifts to the bridge where Ultra, Judy, King, Lady and other members of the Lost Pack are hard at work. LADY (shouts): We have entered the solar system, Ultra! ULTRA (shouts): Quickly! Cloak the ship! DIZZY (crazy laugh): And hide the silverware! KING (pushing buttons): We're cloaked now ULTRA (angry): If those foolish humans want a war with cano-sapiens, I'll gladly give them one! LUCKY (concerned): But Ultra, our crew is small, and we're no bloody match for the Space Rover fleet JUDY (turns to him, sexy voice): Ultra, I have intercepted a message from the Master to the fleet! He's ordered them to stay away from Earth! ULTRA (evil grin): EXCELLENT! It's the opportunity we've been waiting for! We will start by blasting that fancy space station of theirs, and then we'll level a few world cities with our new destruction ray! DIZZY (happy): Oh goody goody! We get to use the energy weapon we stole from the Zictals! I got it all wired up and ready to use! (crazy laugh): After we conquer the world, can I take a week off to go to DisneyWorld? DREADNAUGHT (shakes head): Vhat a dumkoff! DIZZY (crazy laugh): I don't have a dumb cough, but if you give me one then I will! ULTRA (furious): STOP BICKERING!!! King, get us to Earth while I formulate a battle plan! --------------------------------------------------------------------- to be continued.....
