The Space Rovers -- "Turmoil on Turrilla -- Part 2" Hido rushes towards Persia, Su Li, Lao Zi, Cactus Jake, Shamansta, Abdullah and Bob swinging his sword, Su Li springs into action, using several karate chops to disable the Imzonan warrior. BOB (points): The legend is TRUE! That's an Imzonan! CACTUS JAKE (shakes head): Ugly-lookin hombres, ain't they? I wonder how many others are here? QUID (emerging from behind a rock): Wouldn't you like to know, dog creature! Before the Rovers can draw their weapons, Muwa stands on top of a hill holding Ghalad close to him, with a laser pistol pointed at her head. QUID (angry): I'll make this very simple, throw down your weapons or the female dies! GHALAD (scared, shouting): Captain Persia! PERSIA (shocked): Ghalad! QUID (laughing): So...it's Captain Persia, is it? I am Quid, leader of this mining expedition! I'm the luckiest Inzoman in the galaxy! If you are a Captain, that means you're from a spaceship. A spaceship that will give us a king's ransom to ever see YOU alive again! (laughs more, watchs as Hido staggers back to his feet): Hido! Take their weapons! Looks like we have even MORE slaves to serve us now! The Space Rovers growl as Hido collects all of their weapons and gear. All of them have their hands up as Quid walks slowly towards them and one by one carefully looks at his new slaves. QUID (standing in front of Persia): Hmmmmm. You're not a bad looking female, for a dog! Persia turns her head away as Quid stands in front of Cactus Jake. QUID (nods, smiles): You'll make a fine slave, yellow dog! CACTUS JAKE (growls): I wouldn't bet on it, kitty cat! Quid immediately slaps Cactus Jake in the jaw, sending him to the ground in a heap. QUID (furious): Do any of the rest of you have any comments? The others stand nervously at attention as Quid approaches Su Li. QUID (big smile): Now YOU are a very pretty dog creature! LAO ZI (angry): LEAVE MY WIFE ALONE! Quid immediately slaps Lao Zi in the jaw, sending him to the floor. QUID (evil grin): It's lucky for you all that I have no desire to mate with lower class lifeforms.... MUWA (shakes head): Ewwwww! The very thought of it makes me feel ill! HIDO (growls): I also! QUID (stands in front of Bob): You are cetainly not a dog! (smiles): You don't look very well, what's wrong? BOB (look of pain on his face): Sir, I have a very bad headache....it only started when I came here... QUID (nods): I see! You must be feeling the effects of our mind control device, excellent! (shouts): All of you will make fine sevants! Obey us fully, and without question, or you will suffer the consequences! PERSIA (telepathically to the other Rovers): I've just read Quid's mind. Our Jurrassians friends truly are under the influence of a mind control device. It's a small, brown box that's currently in Muwa's pocket. I have an idea. Everyone, play along. QUID (shouts): Let's see.... PERSIA (bows towards Quid): Mr Quid, may I ask you a question? QUID (laughs): MR Quid! I like the sound of respect! Very well, Captain, ask your question. PERSIA (smiles): Would you like for my crew to entertain you? One of us is a fine magician and .. QUID (laughs): Magic? I'll show you some REAL magic! He walks over to Muwa and takes the brown box out of his pocket. QUID (laughs): See this, dogs? This tiny little machine gives us complete control over the minds of all six of those huge monsters over there! Quid points and the Rovers now see the captive dinosaurs for the first time. BOB (shouts): Aunt Alpena! QUID (surprised): So, you know them? (nods): Now I understand! You bunch of worthless beings are a rescue party! Well, now it looks like YOU need to be rescued! PERSIA (bows head): Mr Quid, we are at your mercy. May I suggest that we all make the best of this situation. Cadet Shamansta has a very good magic trick to show you all! QUID (laughing): Very well, this had better be entertaining, or I'll beat ALL of you! SHAMANSTA (bows, takes out blue silk handerchef): Observe closely... I place this magic silk handerchef over an object and .... Shamansta quickly places the handerchef over the brown device Quid is still holding in his hand. SHAMANSTA (closes eyes): Viola! The angry Quid removes the handerchef to reveal that the brown box has disappeared. He grabs Shamansta by the throat. QUID (furious): Tell me where our device is NOW or I'll choke you to death! SHAMANSTA (barely able to speak): The long-necked reptile is about to step on it.... Quid drops Samansta as he, Muwa and Hido run over to the edge of the mining pit. They can all see the tiny bown box as Alpena's huge front foot crushes it. QUID (screams out): NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERSIA (shouts): NOW! Lao ZI and Cactus Jake stand to their feet, Cactus sees a large computer bank hundred feet from where they're standing and uses his freeze vision to encase it in solid ice. Su Li and Abdullah grab Ghalad away from MUWA's grasp. MUWA (shocked): The force field generator! It's frozen solid! Soon, the huge dinosaurs shake their heads and come out of their 'trances.' ALPENA (roars): We are free of the mind control! We must find Ghalad and the alien furry creatures that did this to us! T-REX (roars, points): There they are! I'll enjoy eating all three of them myself! The three frightened Imzomans run past the startled Space Rovers. CACTUS JAKE (points): After them, they're getting away! Persia and the others follow them up a steep rocky path. The three Imzomans climb up easily using their long. sharp claws. Cactus Jake tries to 'freeze' them but he misses the agile creatures repeatedly. PERSIA (turns to Bob): Bob, can you use your mind power to teleport us up to the top of that summit? BOB (still hoding his head): I can't, Captain. That mind control machine has left me with a bad headache. They all hear the sounds of jet engines firing up. Soon, they see above them the large freighter-like Imzonan spaceship. Alpena reaches up with her long neck and barely misses 'chomping' the ship as it assends skyward. SU LI (points): They're leaving the planet! We must contact the Canius Minor! SHAMANSTA (sadly): But those creatures took all of our wrist communicators! PERSIA (sternly): We have one chance! The scene shifts back to the Dogstar, where Fydo is pacing back and worth. FYDO (concerned): Why don't they call? I hope they're alright! Maybe they were captured! What could I do if they were? PERSIA (telepathically to Fydo): Lt Fydo! FYDO (bewlidered): Captain? PERSIA (telepathically to Fydo): Fydo, there's no time to explain! You have to take the Dogstar into space! The Imzonans are fleeing in a brown colored freighter ship, Hurry! Stop them at all costs! FYDO (confused): I'll try Captain. Let's see, this should start the engines.... The Dogstar takes off and flies straight up at a rapid rate of speed. FYDO (scared): YIPE! (whines): I gotta get this thing under control! The Dogstar begins to slow and fly in a zig zag pattern towards the Imzonan freighter. The scene shifts to the bridge of the freighter. QUID (angry): Hurry! Let's get this ship to light speed! HIDO (looks at monitor): Quid! Another space ship is approaching! QUID (furious): Fire our laser cannon, destroy it! Hido begins to fire the laser cannon, the strange zig zag pattern of the Dogstar makes it impossible to hit MUWA (looks at monitor): That pilot has extraordinary skill! The scene switches back to Fydo aboard the Dogstar. He is frantically pressing buttons trying to regain control of the ship's navagational systems. FYDO (frantic): I gotta stop this ship from swaying! (sees the freighter firing at it): YIPE!! That thing's shooting at me! (looks on control panel): There's the laser controls! I sure hope I can figure out how they work! In a state of complete panic, Fydo pushes several control buttons at once. The Dogstar fires several laser shots at the frieghter, one shot manages to hit the lower deck. The scene shifts back to the bridge of the frieghter. QUID (feels the ship shake): Muwa! Hido! What happaned? HIDO (looks at monitor): That ship managed to hit the cargo hold before I could get our force fields up. MUWA (scared): That laser blast is causing the Roximite Ore to become unstable! The entire ship will explode in seconds! QUID (frightened): Quickly! Get to the escape pods! Fydo watches in terror as he sees the huge frieghter engulfed in flames and blow up. The force of the explosion rocks the Dogstar, throwing Fydo up against a wall, knocking him unconscience. The Dogstar races out of control towards the Canius Minor. The scene shifts to the bridge where Alexander is in command with Boomer, Claudia, Luigi, Marie, Grunt, Calypso and Hans attending the duty stations. HANS (looking at monitor): Captain, the Dogstar is heading towards us! I can scan only one life sign aboard it, it's Lt Fydo! CLAUDIA (in shock): FYDO!!! ALEXANDER (turns to Calypso): Hail him! GRUNT (furious): GRRRRRRRR! GROWL!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR! HANS (shakes head): I'm only reading Lt Fydo's dogtag signal, sir! GRUNT (shouting): GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! ALEXANDER (sternly): DOWN GRUNT! HEEL! We'll find Persia! CALYPSO (shakes head): I not be getting a reply, Commander! ALEXANDER (sternly): Fydo may be injured! (turns to Luigi): Luigi, use our computer guildance systems to take control of the Dogstar! LUIGI (pushs buttons): I thinka I got it, Commander! The computer has taken control of the Dogstar! ALEXANDER (smiles): Excellent! Have the computer land the Dogstar in shuttlebay D. (turns to Claudia): Claudia, plot a course back to Turrilla! Boomer, when the Dogstar is secured on board, engage! BOOMER (nods): Aye aye, Commander! Within minutes, the Canius Minor is in orbit around Turrilla Six. ALEXANDER (turns to Hans): Hans, scan for any signs of the Captain and her party! HANS (looks at monitor): No trace of them, Commander! LUIGI (looks at monitor): Waita minute! Jurrassian science vessel is-a heading towards us! CALYPSO (turns to Alexander): The ship's hailing us! ALEXANDER (nods): Put it on the front viewer! The front view screen soon displays the image of a huge, green brontosaurus. ALPENA (on screen): Commander Alexander, my name is Alpena of the Jurrassian science vessel Jharo. The rescue party you sent for us is aboard our ship and aside from some minor injuries. all of them are doing fine! ALEXANDER (nods): Thank you for bringing them to us, Alpena. Can you tell us what happaned down there? ALPENA (on screen): As soon as we landed on this planet, three weird looking furry aliens took control of our minds and forced us to mine ore for them. Thanks to your clever rescue team, the mind control machine was destroyed! We also have the three alien creatures in custody. Seems your daring shuttle pilot singlehandedly attacked their freighter and blew it up! ALEXANDER (confused): Daring shuttle pilot? CLAUDIA (happy): That was Fydo! That was MY boyfriend! LUIGI (shocked): Mama Mia! CALYPSO (nods): So dat be why Fydo was in the shuttle alone! ALPENA (on screen): Our three alien captors told us they couldn't believe how well that shuttlecraft was flown! We'll be rondovousing with the Pressidon tommorrow. I and my crew have already expressed our graditiude to Captain Persia and her team, we thank all of you for rescuing us! ALEXANDER (smiles): You're welcome, Alpena! May I speak to the Captain? ALPENA (smiles): Of course, switching monitors! When the image of Persia appears on the front viewer, Grunt leaps from behind his console panel and begins licking the viewer image. PERSIA (laughing): That has to be Grunt's tongue I see, correct? ALEXANDER (sternly): Down boy, DOWN! You'll short out our front view screen! GRUNT (still licking): PER.... SIA!....... PERSIA (smiles): Have Daisy and Flash teleport us back aboard, before Grunt's tongue gets electricuted! ALEXANDER (laughs): As you wish, Captain! The scene switches to the Canius Minor, two hours later. Persia is in her office recording another log entry. PERSIA (into mic): Captain's log, supplemental. Our rescue mission to Turrilla Six has been a complete success. Commendations are in order for several members of my crew. For Lt Commander Bob, his teleportation powers were a key element to our success. For Cadet Shamansta, her 'magic trick' saved our entire landing party as well as Alpena's science team from a life of slavery. And lastly, for Lt Fydo for his incredible bravery and skill in disabling the Inzonan's freighter. Alpena and her team are taking Quid, Muwa and Hido back to Jurrassia with them to stand trial, although several members of her crew have been threatening to 'accidently' eat them before they arrive. Dr Sheena reports that Whitey, Fydo, Rasputin and Saundra have all been released from sick bay and may return to active duty. End entry The scene switches to the lounge area, where Cactus Jake, Flash, Rasputin, Daisy, Hojo and Orchid are sitting at a table watching Shamansta perform another feat of magic. RASPUTIN (shakes head): I still say you can't pull off this tablecloth without breaking any of the objects on it, that's impossible! SHAMANSTA (smiles): If that's so impossible, why not have a little wager on it? I'll bet you ten dollars I can do it! RASPUTIN (reaches for his wallet): You're on! SHAMANSTA (looks at the others): Any other takers? CACTUS JAKE (shakes head): Ma'am, I've seen you in action before, I believe you'll do it! FLASH (shakes head): I won't, either! HOJO (shakes head): Don't look at me! ORCHID (reaches for her purse): I'll bet! You can't do it! SHAMANSTA (nods): You're covered! Anyone else? By now, the others in the lounge gather around the table to watch. SHAMANSTA (big grin): Alright then, here we go! CALYPSO (waving arms): STOP DIS, YOU BE BREAKING ALL ME DISHES, GIRLY! SHAMANSTA (shakes head): Relax, Calypso, I know what I'm doing! Shamansta grabs one end of the tablecloth with both hands, and gives it a quick pull. To everyone's amazement, not a single cup, saucer, plate or even the flower vase in the center fell down. Everyone claps and cheers at Shamansta's table cloth 'trick.' Rasputin bows his head but Orchid gets suddenly furious. ORCHID (furious): Hey! If you can do it, so can I! I'll bet double or nothing that I can do the same thing with that table over there! SHAMANSTA (confused): Are you certain you want to do this, Orchid? ORCHID (angry): YES! Do we have a bet? Shamansta nods her head as Orchid stands up and walks over to another table with similar 'objects' on it. CALYPSO (waves arms): NO! NO! STOP DIS YOU CRAZY WOMAN! ORCHID (calmly): Relax, Calypso, there's nothing to it! Watch THIS! The crowd watches as Orchid grabs one end of the tablecloth with both hands and gives it a quick yank. The sound of crashing plates, cups and the center vase filled the lounge. The entire crowd burst into laughter, except for a very angry Calypso. CALYPSO (angry): Lookie lookie! You be breakin' me dishes! You break, YOU BUY!!! SHAMANSTA (holds out hand): And that's an additional ten dollars you owe me! ORCHID (head drooped): Ok..... (pulls out a ten dollar bill): Here you are...... CALYPSO (grabs Orchid by the ear): Now, you and Calypso have a long talk about damages, yes? The crowd once more bursts into laughter as Calypso pulls Orchid by the ear into her office. RASPUTIN (laughs): I'm smart enough to quick while I'm behind! CACTUS JAKE (turns to Shamansta): C'mon Shamansta. tell us, how did you make that mind control device disappear on Turrilla Six? SHAMANSTA (waves index finger at Cactus Jake): No no no! A good magician never reveals her secrets! Orchid stomps out of Calypso's office with a very angry look on her face. ORCHID (yells at Shamansta): I hope you're happy, magic dog! I have to pay exactly forty three dollars for all the dishes I broke! SHAMANSTA (reaches for a yellow silk scarf): I'm so sorry, Orchid, I want to be your friend. (waves scarf in the air and turns it into a bundle of four red roses): For you, with my sincere apology! ORCHID (growls): Bet they're fake! Orchid carelessly grabs all four roses, and then drops them, screaming with pain. CACTUS JAKE (giggles): Looks like them thorns ain't fake! SHAMANSTA (scared): Orchid! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to... ORCHID (holding hand): OH SHUT UP! As Orchid runs out of the lounge area, Shamansta lowers her head and begins to sob. SHAMANSTA (sadly): But this was an accident! I didn't mean for this to happan! CACTUS JAKE (smiles): We know you meant no harm. Shamansta! FLASH (nods): That's right, honey! RASPUTIN (nods): Orchid did it to herself! HOJO (bows): This was not your fault, I will go calm her down! As Hojo leaves the lounge area, Dot, Bob, Fydo and Claudia enter. Immediately all of the Rovers in the lounge cheer and shout out Fydo's name as he and the others find a table and sit down. FYDO (scared): I don't deserve this! I didn't do anything... BOB (sternly): Didn't do anything? Are you kidding me? I saw up blow up that freighter with my own eyes! DOT (holds Bob's hand): You're a genuine hero, Fydo! CLAUDIA (happy): What a MAN! Claudia reaches over and gives Fydo such a powerful kiss, he falls backward with his chair onto the floor. He then finds himself surrounded by all of the Rover kids. GRETA (happy): HOORAY FOR UNCLE FYDO!! YURI (happy): DA! THE BRAVE FIGHTER! GIORGIO (happy): I want to be like you went I grow up! VANNI (nods): Me too! BERNADETTE (happy): I want to fly a shuttle when I'm old enough! JOSEPHINE (nods): We we! I will be just as good as Uncle Fydo! DENG (sternly): I must admit that your skills as a shullte pilot truly amaze me! PENG (sternly): You even knew the precise area that the Imzonan freighter was the most vunerable! FELIPE (shouts): Three cheers for Uncle Fydo! ROVER CHILDREN (in unison): Hip hip, HOORAY!!! Hip, hip, HOORAY!!!! Hip, hip, HOORAY!!!! CLAUDIA (smiles): You children are SO sweet! CALYPSO (walks over to the table): Please, children! Run along and let dee poor mon be, alright? ANTONIE (smiles): We we! Let's go to the playroom and play Fydo versus the evil cat people! TANYA (shouts): I want to play the part of Uncle Fydo! VANNI (shakes head): You can't because your-a girl! CARLA (shouts): HEY! Girls can be heros, too! BERNADETTE (smiles): Like Cadet Shamansta! GRETA (shouts): I want to play Shamansta! The Rover children continue to agrue among themselves as they walk out of the lounge. DOT (smiles, looks at Bob): You were brave also, Bob! BOB (blushes): Awwww. Shucks! DOT (smiles): And here's YOUR reward! Dot kisses Bob so hard that he falls over with his chair to the floor. CLAUDIA (teasing): Copy cat! Bob, Claudia, Dot and Fydo all laugh together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
