The Space Rovers -- "Journey to Jurrassia -- Part 3" The Canius Minor had been ordered to land on Jurrassia by Zeldor, the Commander of the Degalo. Commander Alexander had a diificult choice to make. He calls Molly in engineering to access the situation.. ALEXANDER: Molly, can we outrun them? MOLLY: Negative, Alex, all three of their ships can easily match our best speed ALEXANDER: Can we use the artificial wormhole to escape.... MOLLY: Negative, there isn't enough time to power up .... ALEXANDER: We have to leave! Captain Persia's orders were to leave at the first sign of trouble MOLLY (frantic) NO! My husband is down there! We can't just leave him there or the Captain either! ALEXANDER: Do you have any suggestions? MOLLY (enraged) WE CAN'T LEAVE! I WISH WE COULD MAKE THIS SHIP DISAPPEAR! DAISY: (excitedly) That's it! Sister, we can use that invisibility shield we've been working on in the lab! MOLLY (growling) Are you two Southern fried hounds crazy? We need a REAL plan! ALEXANDER: Daisy, Flash, how long will it take to install your device? FLASH: Five minutes, sir, if we hurry! ALEXANDER: Do it now! Molly, you and your warp engines need to buy us some time, I need maximum speed in 30 seconds, can you do it? MOLLY: Yes, sir! But what is the plan? ALEXANDER: There isn't time to explain. Marie, plot a course for deep space, and maximum speed! MARIE: We, we, Commander! ALEXANDER: Molly, tell Daisy and Flash to hurry, if my plan is to work, we'll need that device of theirs working as soon as possible! FLASH: We're on it, Alex, but this durn thing hasn't been tested ..... ALEXANDER: We'll be testing it in a matter of minutes, Calypso, open a channel to Commander Zeldor. CALYPSO: Channel open, commander! ALEXANDER: Zeldor, you don't have to do this. You know that our landing party couldn't ..... ZELDOR (sadly) I know, Alexander, I know. I would not have believed it myself, but I must carry out the King's orders ALEXANDER: And I also have orders, Commander, and I'm about to carry them out! Calypso, end transmission! Francis, take us out of here now! FRANCIS: We, we, Alexander! Instantly, the Canius Minor rockets towards deep space. Caught off guard, the three Jurrassian ships speed up to pursue. MARIE: Commander, the alien ships are closing in on us! ALEXANDER: Steady as she goes, crew, we need to run until the girls have the device ready. MARIE: Alien ships getting closer! CALYPSO: Commander Zeldor is hailing us, sir! ALEXANDER: No reply! Marie, plot a course twenty degrees, zeta! MARIE: Commander, that is ...... ALEXANDER: Straight down! I know. Daisy, Flash, are you ready? DAISY: One more connection...... FLASH: There! It's ready, Alexander! ALEXANDER: Now, listen, on my command, turn on the invisibility shield and then engage the new course, Francis! FRANCIS: Standing by, sir! DAISY: We're ready! MARIE: the three alien ships are almost overtaking us! ALEXANDER: NOW!!!! The Canius Minor instantly 'disappears' and flys straight down as the three alien ships whiz by. MARIE: You did it, Commader! The alien ships are still heading away from us! MOLLY: I can't believe it! That crazy device of theirs really works! ALEXANDER: No time for celebration. Marie, plot a course back to Jurrassia, we'll stay invisible so that we won't have to go through this again! MARIE: We, we, Commader! Meanwhile on Jurrassia, Captain Persia and her landing party have been placed in a large bird cage. MILEX: We have no prison cells YOUR size here on Jurrassia, never needed them, until now. This cage will hold all of you nicely until we can execute, er.. I mean have your trial! Milex hangs the cage on a hook in the ceiling of the room. MILEX: That will hold you pests until we're ready for you. No reason to post any guards, there's no escape for you! Milex chuckles as he places the key to the cage on the table and walks out of the room. PERSIA: Ok, he's gone. Now we escape! RASPUTIN: Escape? How can we do that? We're at least hanging two hundred feet in the air and ..... PERSIA: Sit, Rasputin, we'll get out of this! Bruno, since you can pass through solid objects, this cage floor shouldn't be a problem, right? BRUNO: Correct, Captain! It will be a piece of pie! PERSIA: Sheena, Saundra, levetate Bruno gently to the table. He'll get the key and then you two will float him back up here, alright? SAUNDRA: Yes, Persia! SHEENA: I'm ready! PERSIA: Alright then, the rest of you keep quiet, Saundra and Sheena need to concentrate! Bruno passed through the cage floor and floated down to the table. Grasping the huge key, he floated back up toward the cage. Handing the key to Grunt from the outside, Bruno passed through the floor and returned to Persia's side. PERSIA: Now, let's open this cage and float down to the floor. RASPUTIN: What good is escaping going to do us? Where will we go? PERSIA: I have a hunch that the key to proving our innocence is Roberto, we'll go to his room and see what he has. The scene shifts to Roberto's room, the massive Brontosaurus is seated in from of his huge computer, he's pushing buttons and talking to himself. ROBERTO: Let's see, I have the survallence fiiles on line. Now, let's find the files for that evening. Good, now we'll look at the camera shots and .... wait a minute...... that's not the Space Rovers entering that room, it's Milex and a few of his raptors! I KNEW IT! The Space Rovers are innocent! I need to take this data cube to the King at once! MILEX (sneaking in from behind) You're not going anywhere, you know too much! ROBERTO: Why are you doing this? Why did you lie to the king and why are you .... MILEX: You naive little longneck! I want to see a strong Jurrassian Empire, we should be conquering worlds, not engaging in peaceful trade! And if the good King won't lead us, then perhaps we need a new King! ROBERTO (angry) You speak treason! I must tell the King! MILEX: You won't tell anyone when I kill you! Persia and the Space Rovers enter the room. PERSIA: You won't be doing that while we're around! MILEX: So, you miserable creatures managed to escape the cage, that's just as well, I'm going to stomp you flat! Now, Roberto, I'll be taking that data cube NOW!!! PERSIA: Don't give it to him! We'll get you away from that big lizard! Space Rovers, attack! Grunt runs up at Milex, only to be batted away with his huge tail. Boomer runs speedy circles around him, kicking up a small cloud of dust. Jake freezes the floor all around him and motions to the rest of them to leave. When he sees Roberto heading towards the door, Milex tries to run after him, but slips on the ice and falls flat on his back with a loud thud! RASPUTIN: Have a nice trip, see you next fall lizard lips! Milex struggles to get up as the Space Rovers and Roberto escape. ROBERTO: Hurry! We'll take this secret passage straight to the King's throne room! Roberto pushes aside a bookcase to reveal a hidden passage, the Space Rovers and Roberto quckly run down to the end of it, and emerge behind the throne! Looking rather startled is the King with his Queen. There is also a large group of Jurrassian nobles and diplomats there in the room. KING RHINON: What is the meaning of this, Roberto, and why are these furry creatures free? ROBERTO: Your majesty, you've been deceived! The Space Rovers are innocent and I can prove it! Roberto plugs the data cube into the throne room's computer, and shows the King the survallence film KING RHINON: What? Milex is a traitor? ROBERTO: Yes, my king, and he wants to take over Jurrassia and conquer the universe! KING RHINON (stuttering) But, but, but what about the Dinosaur Code? PERSIA: Face it, King Phinon, Milex has violated the code, we had to rescue Roberto because he was going to kill him! KING PHINON: Kill him? No Dinosaur on Jurrassia has ever killed another! Are you certain of this , Captain? PERSIA: Just ask Roberto, he's a dinosaur, he'll tell you! Milex kicks down the huge double doors in front of the throne. MILEX: Roberto! Why did you free the prisoners? You must be in league with the earth creatures! Shall I arrest them all, your majesty? PERSIA: The game is up, Milex! The king has viewed the data cube! MILEX: My King! Will you believe these alien furballs over your own prime minister? KING PHINON: Roberto has confirmed their story, Milex. MILEX: Enough of this, let me destroy these traitors NOW! I will prove my loyalty to you! PERSIA: What is your decision, your majesty? KING PHINON: I just don't know. No one has ever broken the laws of our Dinosaur Code, and Milex has been my best friend for eons.... PERSIA (sadly) Well, ok, if you must punish us for our so-called treason, then punish me! I am the leader of the Space Rovers, I am ultimately responisible for their conduct. Persia walks forward toward the King and Milex, Grunt growls loudly and Rasputin howls wildly. PERSIA (telepathicly to the other Rovers) Stay back, that's an order! I know what I'm doing! PERSIA: Ok, King Phinon, you have seen with your own eyes that Milex is a traitor! But if you'd rather believe him than us and Roberto, that's fine. I offer myself as your prisoner, do with me as you will, spare my crew! MILEX: Ok, fine with me! I'll stomp you flat! Roberto runs up and stands beside Persia. ROBERTO: NO! I won't let you do this! King Phinon, you know the truth! You know that Milex has violated our ancient laws, but if you are going to kill Captain Persia, then I'll stand here and die with her! MILEX (shrugging his shoulders) Suits me! Milex lifts his foot to stomp Persia and King Phinon pushes him to the floor. KING PHINON: MILEX!!! I didn't want to believe it, but you'd kill a fellow dinosaur at the drop of a hat? Roberto and the Space Rovers are telling the truth, you are the traitor! Guards, arrest Milex! MILEX: You fool! You can't stand up to me! PERSIA: Your highness, Milex has a group of two dozen raptors coming down the corridor here to kill us all! MILEX (surprised) How could you possibly know that? PERSIA: Space Rovers, deploy! Defend the royal family! Milex's loyal raptors emerge from the corridor, Grunt roars and throws himself at the first one, knocking the rest of them down like dominoes. The raptors quickly recover and pursue the King and Queen. The nobles and other spectators hide under the banquet table. Jake freezes portions of the floor and watches as some of the raptors slip, slide and fall. Saundra and Sheena use their powers to lift some of the raptors off the ground and then let them fall suddenly to the ground. Rasputin and Grunt continue to punch and beat up raptors, but there's just too many of them for all the Space Rovers to handle. PERSIA: This isn't going to defeat them, we need a plan! WHITEY: Captain, do you notice how each raptor is wearing a metal collar? PERSIA: Yes, I see them! WHITEY: With my ability to reconfigure matter, I could change all of their light weight collars into a very dense lead, that will be so heavy that they'll no longer be able to stand or fight! PERSIA: Do it, Whitey! Boomer, can you give us a distraction? BOOMER: One distraction coming up! Boomer runs circles around the entire group of raptors, as they stand and watch him run, Whitey uses his powers and changes all of their collars to dense lead, making them all fall to the floor. They struggle, but the heavy collars keep them all pinned to the ground. PERSIA: Look, everyone! Milex is getting away! Milex runs outside and towards his private spaceship. Roberto runs hard to catch up and tackles him a few feet from his ship. They fight, Milex bites, scratches and wounds Roberto, but he won't give up. Roberto stands and turns quickly around, slapping Milex in the head with his long tail, knocking him down. Whitey arrives and turns Milex's royal clothes into dense lead, and pins him to the ground. MILEX: NO!!!!! Let me up! I am the superior species! I was meant to rule! PERSIA: Sheena! Roberto's been injured! Get the medical kit! KING PHINON: Roberto, my loyal friend, are you alright? I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. ROBERTO: I'm alright, my king. just a little banged up. SHEENA: Hey, 'old still, you leapin' lizard! I can't get these bandages on if you keep squirmin', mate! KING PHINON: Captain Persia, I am so sorry that this first visit to our planet had to end like this. Can you ever forgive me? PERSIA: Of course, your majesty! The Space Rovers were happy to help! ROBERTO: I know how we can reward them, my King! We can share our technology with them! We can learn much from each other. KING PHINON: Excellent idea, Prime Minister Roberto! ROBERTO: Prime Minister? KING PHINON: Yes! I am replacing Milex with you! Any objection? ROBERTO (smiling) None, my King! KING PHINON (calling out loudly) Guards, take Milex away! RASPUTIN: Yeah, you're fired, lizard lips! The guards attempt to lift Milex off the ground, but can't because of his heavy lead clothes. Whitey notices this and turns the heavy lead clothes into a lightweight steel straight jacket. KING PHINON: WOW!! Can you teach us these skills, Captain? PERSIA: Well, we'll see, your highness. BOOMER: Captain, we're receiving a signal from the ship! It's Alexander! PERSIA (angerly) Commander Alexander, I gave you an order to leave at the first sign of trouble! ALEXANDER (through communicator) Yes, Captain, and I DID leave, but you didn't say that I couldn't return. Are you alright? PERSIA: Yes, all is well on the planet. It's a long story .... The scene changes to the rooftop, Captain Persia and the Space Rovers are ready to return to the Canius Minor. ROBERTO: Space Rovers, meet my son, Bob! He wanted to see you off before you left! Bob is a young brontosaurus, only as large as Grunt. BOB: WOW!!! Real earth beings! Dad, can I go with them into space? ROBERTO: No, son. You're too young for that. Captain, here's a box of documents that your crew will be interested in. There's star charts, and plans for many of our high tech inventions! PERSIA: Thank you, Roberto, I know two bloodhounds who will be really interested in these! Grunt, carry this on board the shuttle. Grunt grabs the large, heavy crate and takes it into the ship. SHEENA: I sure hope there's more recipes! I can't wait to fix more baked eagle! RASPUTIN: I'd rather have kibble! BRUNO: Hey, it tastes better than borsh! BOOMER: Captain, it's time to go. Alexander says the Master has given us another assignment! PERSIA: We must leave now, goodbye King Phinon and Roberto! Thank you for your friendship and hospitality! ROBERTO: Thank you, Captain Persia! KING PHINON: Captain Persia, you and your crew are welcome on Jurrassia anytime! I have informed Commander Zeldor to escort you safety to the edge of Jurrassian space. We are forever in your debt! PERSIA: Thank you, your majesty. Goodbye! The Space Rovers wave as they enter the shuttlecraft. They launch, and enter the Canius Minor. Later, on the bridge, the crew reflects on their recent experience. PERSIA: Well, everyone, what do you think of our first contact with Jurrassia? BOOMER: Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there! GRUNT: Grrrrrrrrrrrr Growl!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr BOOMER: See? Grunt agrees with me! RASPUTIN: I've never seen any dog so brave as you were, Captain! SAUNDRA: How did you know that the King would stop Milex from crushing you? PERSIA: I didn't know, I was taking a calculated risk! ALEXANDER: That was one gigantic risk, Persia! PERSIA: No more of a risk than disobeying MY direct orders and returning to Jurrassia after us! ALEXANDER: I know, Persia, but .... PERSIA: But under the circumstances, I'll overlook it, THIS time! What is our next assignment? ALEXANDER: Captain, we've received a faint intergalatic distress call. The Master says we should investigate PERSIA: Ok, Saundra, plot a course, warp factor 4 SAUNDRA: Yes, Captain, ready to go! PERSIA: Boomer, engage! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coming soon --- The Space Rovers -- "Slave Planet"
