Road Rovers (Otto & Sam) -- "End Of The Line -- Part 4" As the Doomstar's death ray prepares to fire at the moon, in another part of the galaxy, the Willian ship Zeles is on patrol, the scene shifts to the bridge, where Captain Fydo, Claudia, Ghand, De-Mal, Drow-Fa, Stormie, Shadow and Mil-Cade are at their stations. All eyes are on Shamansta, who suddenly approaches Fydo, looking very frantic. SHAMANSTA (shouts): He's going to blow up the moon! We have to get there and stop him! FYDO (confused): Huh? CLAUDIA (calmly): What are you talking about? Who is going to blow up what moon? SHAMANSTA (frantic): No time to explain! Must hurry! Shamansta lifts her hands to the air and closes her eyes. The Zeles comes to a complete stop and then disappears. The scene is outer space, in Earth's solar system near the moon. Suddenly, the Zeles appears. On the bridge of the Zeles Shamansta now collapses to the floor. DE-MAK (shouts); SHAMANSTA!!! CLAUDIA (shouts): Tend to her, De-Mak! What's our present status? GHAND (looks at monitor): She succeeded in sending us back to Earth's solar system! The Zeles is now positioned ten thousand miles from the moon's surface. FYDO (confused): Shamansta said that someone was going to blow up the moon, but who? And how? SHADOW (nods): Shamansta's never been wrong before, she must've had a good reason to do this STORMIE (sadly, looks towards Shamansta): How is she? DE-MAK (concerned): She's breathing, but I can't really tell what's the matter with her (taps comm badge): De-Mak to sick bay! Medical Emergency on the bridge! Shamansta is still unconscience on the floor. She mutters something only the nearby De-Mak can hear. CLAUDIA (ears perk up): What did she say, De-Mak? DE-MAK (concerned): Poor girl's delirious! She called for Persia to come and help us! DROW-FA (shocked): PERSIA? That's crazy! The Canius Minor is light years away from Earth! GHAND (shouts): Captain! There's a powerful energy beam heading towards us! FYDO (shocked): WHAT?? GHAND (shouts): Sensors say it's got enough power to destroy the moon if we can't stop it! Impact in two seconds! FYDO (shouts): RAISES SHIELDS TO MAXIMUM! SHADOW (pushing buttons): OUR SHIELDS WON'T HOLD!!! As the beam reaches the Zeles, it instantly 'reverses' itself and retreats back to it's source. The force of the beam shakes the Zeles, Drow-Fa lands flat on a window and peers outside. He sees a glowing figure dressed in what looks like metal armor, holding her arms out towards the retreating beam. PERSIA (booming voice, glowing): It's a good thing I read the Keeper's minds before they forced me to leave their realm. I was able to warn Rupee and Shamansta as well and learn that I can change into this ultimate form anytime I want to now. I'll send this beam back to it's source and let Ultra's goons worry about the damage! DROW-FA (shocked, staring out the window): NO! NO IT CAN'T BE!!! THAT'S ADMIRAL PERSIA!! WHY IS SHE DRESSED LIKE A CASTLE KNIGHT? SHE STOPPED THAT ENERGY BEAM WITH HER OWN HANDS!! BUT HOW CAN SHE BREATHE IN SPACE?? CLAUDIA (shouts): Status! GHAND (climbs back into her seat): The shields must've held up! No damage to the ship! SHADOW (confused): But how? That beam was ten times more powerful than our maximum shield energy! MIL-CADE (excited): OUR HERO GAVE THE ORDER! HE KNEW IT WOULD WORK!! FYDO SAVES THE DAY AGAIN!! FYDO (confused): I did? DROW-FA (frightened): No No No!!! It wasn't Fydo! It was Persia who saved us! STORMIE (shocked): Persia? SHADOW (surprised): Is the Canius Minor here? GHAND (looks at monitor): No, not a trace of any other vessel in this area! DROW-FA (points): But she's out in space! All glowing and powerful! Look out this window and see for yourselves! The bridge crew rush over to the window, and see nothing but empty space. CLAUDIA (sternly): I don't see anything! GHAND (concerned): Neither do I! DE-MAK (snorts): You must've hit your head or something DROW-FA (points): But she was outside! All glowing! I saw her! She was over there! Wearing glowing armor! DE-MAK (shakes head): I think you finally lost your mind, pal MIL-CADE (furious): I know you don't like Fydo, but making up wild stories just so he won't look heroic is just plain mean! DROW-FA (points): But Mil-Cade, it's true! I know what I saw! Terri and Howie enter the bridge area. CLAUDIA (points): Doctor Terri! Help Shamansta! I think you need to treat Drow-Fa too, he's having hallusinations! DROW-FA (furious): I AM NOT!! I SAW ADMIRAL PERSIA OUT IN SPACE!! TERRI (using scanner on Shamansta): Howie, you better restrain Drow-Fa, he could get violent! DROW-FA (screams): I AM NOT CRAZY!! I KNOW PERSIA WAS OUT THERE! GHAND, SCAN THAT AREA OF SPACE AGAIN! GHAND (confused): And look for what, Drow-Fa? Admiral Persia floating in space? Or perhaps we'll find Candyland too? Drow-Fa pushes Ghand aside and begins to access the sensors. Howie physically grabs him and carries him to the elevator. DROW-FA (screams): NO!!! I HAVE TO PROVE THAT PERSIA SAVED US!! PERSIA DID IT!!! I'M NOT INSANE!!! PERSIA DID IT!!! As the elevator doors close, the scene shifts back to the bridge of the Doomstar, where Ultra is watching and waiting for the moon to explode. ULTRA (happy): Any second now and the moon goes bye bye! DIZZY (crazy laugh, mimics): TO THE MOON, ALICE! I'LL SEND YA TO THE MOON! LUCKY (rolls eyes): Whatever... DIZZY (shouts): Hey Ultra! Something's wrong with the ray machine! ULTRA (angry): WHAT??? DIZZY (points): The device is experiencing a severe feedback loop! (crazy laugh): WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! LADY (points): The weapon is overloading! It will explode in seconds! GROWLER (looks at monitor): We have to eject it now or it'll destroy the ship! ULTRA (shouts): DO IT AND GET US OUT OF HERE!!! The Doomstar ejects the glowing weapon into space and then goes to warp. The weapon's explosion is so bright that it can be seen on Earth. The scene now shifts to Road Rover Mission Control on Earth, in the briefing room. Many Rover agents are gathered with the Master, watching the Phil O'Maley news broadcast. PHIL (on screen): Cano-sapiens save the world! The subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. (shows his picture): A cano-sapien terrorist named Ultra threatened to blow up world cities but was stopped twice by heroic dog people known as the Road Rovers. (shows another picture): This footage taken from atop the United Nations building shows two cano-sapiens, Amos Doggie and his wife Hannah. Yes folks, these two are legally married in the state of Louisiana. Clearly, it is these two Road Rover agents who used their amazing abilities to stop Ultra's first attack and saved New York City from total destruction. (shows another picture): Here is a photo captured by our Hubble space telescope. It shows a strange space vehicle which stopped Ultra's plan to explode the moon. Our sources tell us that this mystery ship was under the command of a Road Rover agent named Fydo. That's right, a dog person named Fydo! (shows his picture): Had Ultra succeeded in destroying the moon, the climate of Earth would've changed instantly, weather patterns thrown into chaos as the world's coastlines would've been affected. Clearly, these Road Rovers were not acting out of selfish motives, but for the greater good of the entire world. The O'Maley Factor has tried to contact both the Master and Adriaan Vorster for comments, but neither has replied. Well, this humble correspondant now believes that these brave cano-sapiens have more than earned a place of recognition and rights in our society. Just hours ago, the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to reject a Vorster sponsered Anti-Human resolution, a resolution that would've created, in my opinion, worldwide legal slavery of cano-sapiens. World leaders, including our own President Bush have expressed thanks for the noble acts of the Road Rovers in this situation. The Factor is investigating details of other acts of bravery by the Road Rovers in keeping our world safe which have been kept secret. We will let you know what we find out. In the meantime, it appears that in this country, the anti-cano- sapien movements have been for the most part, quenched. The hottest selling commodities on E-bay now are Fydo merchandise and Amos Doggie's Cookbook titled "Amos Teach Ye How To Cook Good." The Rover rock band Dogstyle's American Tour is back on, and sales of Cactus Jake and Flash's latest CD have skyrocketed, forgive the space related pun. Public sediment now seems to be with our two legged furry friends, and I, for one, salute them! And that's the memo. Next on the Factor, Silly Putty, how silly is it? MASTER (happy): My Rovers, it looks like we're back in the good graces of most of the world again! HUNTER (relieved): Whew! I'm so glad we are! MASTER (nods): And it's good that President Bush disbanded the special CIA unit created to stop us! Commander Tuliver and his men now all have new, ligitament assignments. COLLEEN (nods): At least he managed to keep the Cerberus and the space shuttle invasion attempt out of the bloomin' headlines. HUNTER (smiles): That's my master! He's a lot smarter than he looks. MASTER (turns to her): We have many heroes today. Rupee, you saved Mission Control. RUPEE (smiles): Thank you, Master. It was easy to use magic to stop those CIA agents and to wipe their minds of all knowledge of us when we left them all in the desert. MASTER (turns to her): And you, Shamansta. Your quick thinking saved the moon from destruction! SHAMANSTA (shakes head): I cannot take the credit, after all, it was Captain Fydo who used the Zeles to block the ray. MASTER (nods): Quite true, but I don't understand how he did it. The shields on the Zeles should not have been able to block the beam SHAMANSTA (sly grin): Maybe we were just.... lucky? MASTER (turns to them): Amos Doggie and Hannah. Thanks to you, New York City was spared AMOS (smiles): Amos be glad to help! HANNAH (nods): It's a good thing we were both close by MASTER (turns to them): Otto, Sam, you and your children were a great help to us during the Cerberus operation. OTTO (nods): The results were sastifactory for everyone involved AMELIA (nods): Indeed. Although I find humans to be rather irrational beings who behave very.... EMILY (upset): Ameila! The Master is a human, as so are our parent's masters! AMELIA (embarrassed): Oh... I apologize to you, Master GILA MONSTER (upset): Hey, gloomin' eyed goomer! I helped out up there too! MASTER (nods): Yes you did, Gila Monster. Thank you GILA MONSTER (smiles): Yous is welcome! MASTER (nods): The entire crew of the Cerberus also responded well to the emergency. All of you are to be commended EXILE (happy): Does that mean what I think it meanski? MASTER (stands up): Yes! Extra doggie treats for everyone! All of the Rovers cheer as they run out of the briefing room. GILA MONSTER (running): Hey! Waits for me! I likes eat'n them things too! The scene now shifts to the Canius Minor, which is in deep space. In Persia and Grunt's quarters, an exausted Persia suddenly appears on the bed in front of Grunt. As Grunt helps her to lay down in bed, the book and key appear beside her. Before Grunt can react, the two of them are once more transported to the realm of the book's keepers. Persia is standing, leaning on her husband as five glowing figures move towards them. FIGURE #1 (upset): That was not nice, Admiral Persia FIGURE #2 (upset): Reading our minds and using that information to act on your behalf! PERSIA (weakly): I did.... what I had.... to do... GRUNT (growls): Persia saved the Earth! She didn't do it for herself, but for all of the innocent people on the planet! FIGURE #3 (upset): She even transformed without merging with us! PERSIA (weakly): No time.... had to.... stop....Ultra.... GRUNT (furious): Look at my Persia! She was willing to die if it would've saved the world! FIGURE #4 (nods): We know, Commander. FIGURE #5 (nods): We did not like her methods, but no one can argue with her motive FIGURE #1 (nods): We chose the keeper of the book wisely FIGURE #2 (booming voice): Now return to your realm, Admiral Persia will recover given enough rest Suddenly, Persia and Grunt find themselves back in their quarters. Grunt makes his wife as comfortable as possible laying on the bed as their door chime rings. GRUNT (shouting): GRRRRRRR!! The doors slide open, Alexander and Cobber walk in. ALEXANDER (concerned): Grunt? Is Persia alright? GRUNT (nods): Grrrrrrr! Growl! COBBER (nods): So, she's just tuckered out, is she? ALEXANDER (reaches for comm badge): I'll call for a doctor PERSIA (weakly): I'll be fine, old man. I just need some rest COBBER (excited): We had to tell ya what just happpened on Earth! Ultra and his thugs tried to blow up New York City and the moon too! GRUNT (looks surprised): GRRRRRR??? ALEXANDER (nods): It's true, Commander. Amos Doggie and Hannah used their magic to save the Big Apple, and Captain Fydo used the Zeles to save the moon! COBBER (happy): The whole Earth is celebrating! PERSIA (weakly): That's.... good.... ALEXANDER (smiles): World opinion has changed towards the Rovers COBBER (concerned): We better let ya rest, Admiral. ALEXANDER (nods): I agree. But one thing puzzles me. (giggles): But it can't be true! GRUNT (confused): Grrrrrr? COBBER (laughs): It's a riot! That Willian Drow-Fa claims that Admiral Persia appeared in outer space and saved the moon! (smiles): That's rich! She's been here the entire time in bed! ALEXANDER (concerned): True, but he seems so sure of himself. (shrugs): Oh well, I hope the medical staff on the Zeles can treat him As Cobber and Alexander leave, Persia and Grunt look into each other's eyes and smile. The scene shifts to the Cerberus, in Ops, where Thunder, Jade and the rest of the staff on duty are watching a New York City broadcast on the front monitor. It is news footage of a ceremony in Central Park where Mayor Bloomberg is honoring Amos Doggie and Hannah. BLOOMBERG (happy): Amos and Hannah Doggie, this city owes you both a debt of thanks AMOS (smiles): Dat be ok, Amos not be wantin' any money! BLOOMBERG (confused): Huh? AMOS (happy): You say dee city owes Amos! Y'all ain't gotta do dat HANNAH (elbows him, hushed): Amos, let the mayor finish his speech BLOOMBERG (hands Amos a big key): And so, it is my priviledge to make you both honorary citizens of New York City and give you the key to the city! AMOS (looks at it): Tanks, Mayor! (confused): But what do dis key open? HANNAH (smiles): Thank you, Mayor, this is a great honor! BLOOMBERG (turns to him): Amos Doggie, do you have any words for the citizens of our fair city? AMOS (happy): Amos love dis city, but where be dat big apple y'all keeps talkin' about? BLOOMBERG (confused): Huh? HANNAH (smiles): What my husband is trying to say is, it was our pleasure to help. As Road Rover agents, it is our mission to protect the world we share with humans AMOS (confused): Were Amos gonna be sayin' all dat? The gathered crowd erupts in cheering as the camera pans over to a news reporter. REPORTER (smiling): There you have it! New York City's newest citizens accepting the key to the city from Mayor Bloomberg. In a related story, restraunts all over the city have introduced a new dish in honor of our heroes. It's a soup that Amos Doggie calls Crawdad Bisque and it's an instant sensation, although the exact ingredients of this soup are somewhat of a mystery.... THUNDER (turns to his staff): It is good to see us Rovers in a positive light for a change DARLA (nods): True. I am still relieved that the presence of Cerberus hasn't been revealed to the general public BINDY (standing next to Jade): Lookie lookie! Dat be me mommy and daddy! JADE (smiles): Yes Bindy, this is why we brought you up here BINDY (excited): Bindy be proud of dem! PORTHOS (nods): We call all be pround of them, Bindy BILL (on comm): Bill to Ops! I want to register a complaint! THUNDER (pushes comm button on panel): Captain Thunder here BILL (on comm); Captain! That reject from a luggage factory has ruined my business! THUNDER (calmly): Are you refering to the Gila Monster? BILL (on comm): That's the guy! I served him and his poodle girlfriend dinner, and he shouted to me how much he loved it! THUNDER (confused): What's wrong with that? BILL (on comm): That reptile complimented me on all of the bugs he found in his salad, the mold he found in his breadsticks and the hairs he found in his pudding! Everyone in the restraunt heard him and walked out without paying their bills! I demand justice! THUNDER (sternly): I see, have you discussed this with Lt Red? BILL (on comm): He was eating dinner with his wife at the time! He threatened to flush me down the toilet if I ever served his wife low quality food again! All of my customers are gone, and it's all that stupid Gila Monster's fault! THUNDER (shakes head): I will look into the situation, Thunder out.... DARLA (looks squeemish): I think I just lost my appettite Everyone now breaks out into laughter as the scene shifts back to Mission Control, where Otto, Samantha, Rupee, Otto Jr, Amelia and Emily sit in the lounge area as Abby, Vicki and Misty walk over to them. SAMANTHA (happy): Hello, dear sisters! ABBY (sits down): We heard about your role in stopping the CIA's raids VICKI (happy): You were awesome, mom! RUPEE (smiles): Thank you, but I cannot take the credit alone. Otto, Samantha and their offspring also played vital roles in this operation MISTY (happy): That's right! Otto Jr, Amelia, Emily, you guys rock! AMELIA (sternly): We did not use stones during this mission OTTO JR (nods): Affirmative. The use of rocks would have been illogical EMILY (giggles): Aunt Misty was paying us a compliment OTTO JR & AMELIA (nodding): Oh..... ABBY (smiles): Now we can walk the streets of Atlanta again without fear VICKI (nods): Yeah, let's all celebrate by going to the mall! MISTY (excited): I like that idea! SAMANTHA (smiles): I like it also OTTO (sternly): The mall holds many mysteries RUPEE (confused): Mysteries? OTTO (nods): Affirmative. There is a section labeled "Food Court" but I haven't seen a judge, jury, nor legal council present in the entire area AMELIA (nods): Father is correct, Food Court is an incorrect labeling OTTO JR (turns to them): Aunt Abby, Aunt Vicki, have you ever participated in cases in Food Court before? ABBY (shocked): Are you guys serious? VICKI (shakes head): They're chips off the old microblock, right Otto? OTTO (sternly): I do not understand that reference MISTY (upset): Hey! Stop insulting Otto! SAMANTHA (upset): Please don't insult my husband and children! RUPEE (sternly): Do not quarrel, my daughters. ABBY & VICKI (pointing): THEY STARTED IT! RUPEE (sternly): If you act like children, perhaps you should be treated like children Rupee snaps her fingers, and now Abby and Vicki are dressed in matching blue baby doll dresses with big blue bows in their hair and each holding a huge lollipop in their hands. ABBY & VICKI (glance in a mirror): HEY!!!!!! MISTY (laughs): I gotta take pictures of this! ABBY & VICKI (whining): MOM!!!!! SAMANTHA (giggles): The two of you do look funny! The scene now shifts to the briefing room, where the Master sits alone, watching his wall of monitors closely. MASTER (smiles): My Rovers are all good, good dogs. GILA MONSTER (from a distance): I ain't no dog, yous glowin' eyed gooberoo! MASTER (giggles): I stand corrected..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------
