Mystic McLab is a creation of Bart Walls The Space Rovers -- "Deep Space Mystic -- Part 2" As Mystic McLab and the crew of the Canius Minor look on, the huge green fire breathing dragon snarls as it walks toward the poles that Persia and Claudia are tied to. FYDO (thinking): I gotta do something... (shouts out): HEY! YOU UGLY LIZARD! COME AND GET ME!! The dragon turns it's head, sees Fydo and charges towards him. PERSIA (telepathically to Fydo): Are you out of your mind? Run away, save yourself, and that's an order! Fydo barely manages to jump out of the way as the dragon blasts it's nasty fire towards him. FYDO (turns to stands up): I can't just let this thing kill my captain and my girl (shouts out): YOU MISSED ME, YOU OVERGROWN FLAME THROWER! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!! MYSTIC (watching with delight): This is better than the Jerry Springer show! As Mystic sits watching, Numbia and Poncho morph into snakes and escape their tree's 'grasp', morphing back into themselves, they run towards the black labrador. Mystic snaps her fingers and a huge gust of wind hurls both Numbia and Poncho skyward, unti they collide with trees and fall to the ground. MYSTIC (laughs): Naughty naughty, mustn't sneak up on me like that! I'll deal with those two later, I don't want to miss a moment of this! Fydo leads the huge green dragon on a long chase, until he finally trips on some rocks and falls to the ground. The charging dragon lunges at the fallen chow dog, instinctively, Fydo holds up his sword. The dragon falls on it and screams out in pain. As the startled Fydo looks up, the mighty dragon falls beside him dead, with his sword firmly planted into the creature's midsection. FYDO (shocked): Did I do THAT? MYSTIC (shocked, stands up): I don't believe it! But...how? (evil grin): Now I understand! Fydo pretended to be afraid so he could catch my dragon off guard! Brilliant! No wonder Fydo has a mighty reputation in this part of space! PERSIA (shouting): Alright Mystic, Fydo defeated your dragon, now, keep your word and let us go! MYSTIC (evil laugh): Funny, I don't remember making any promises! Oh well, now it's your turn to know the meaning of fear, Captain Persia! (waves her arms): BEHOLD!!! The fallen dragon comes back to life and runs towards the other Space Rovers tied to the blue trees. MYSTIC (laughs): Now Persia, you will suffer as you witness your crew being burned alive! PERSIA (shouts): STOP!!!!!!!! BOB (struggling): NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But before Bob can act, Numbia and Poncho rise to their feet and spring to action. Numbia morphs herself into a huge giant ogre and picks up Poncho in her right hand. Poncho nods and morphs himself into a giant spiked club. As the dragon rushes towards them, Numbia smashes it over the head with her club. The startled dragon wabbles and then falls to the ground. MYSTIC (furious): Enough of these parlor tricks! I've put this off long enough! All of you prepare to die! BOB (furious): NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob's dino-sapien body begins to glow, suddenly, Mystic finds herself floating in the air, surrounded by a glowing yellow force field. She attempts to cast her spell, but it can't penetrate the force field. MYSTIC (confused): What this? (angry): This can't be! I can't cast my spell! I can't zap myself out of here! CACTUS JAKE (happy): YEEEEEEEEEE HAW!! Bob's got her! WHITEY (sternly): Lt Commander Bob is using a temporal field to hold Mystic McLab. He is constantly changing the time scale so she is unable to use her magic to free herself CACTUS JAKE (cheers): We got that little sidewinder now! WHITEY (shakes head): On the contrary, due to the strain on his mind, Bob can't keep the temporal field up for long. MYSTIC (thinking outloud): That reptile creature has emormous mental powers! If I could only convince him to join my side! Soon, Bob is shaking all over and passes out. Mystic falls to the ground just as the furious Grunt finally breaks free from his tree. Before Mystic can recover, the mighty pit bull punches her in the face so hard that she flies into a tree and falls to the ground. As Mystic struggles to stand up, Grunt has both hands around her neck, squeezing her tightly. He shakes her violently until Mystic finally snaps her fingers and magically places a heavy straight jacket around the furious pit bull. MYSTIC (furious): I've lost patience with all of you! Now, I finish you space dogs once and for all! As Mystic waves her arms in the air, a giant glowing ball forms above her head. As she prepares to throw it, the giant ogre Numbia shouts to her club (which is still Poncho) NUMBIA (shouts) Poncho, quick, change into a giant wall mirror! Poncho instantly morphs into a giant wall mirror which Numbia grabs by the sides with her huge ogre hands and 'aims' in Mystic's direction. When she launches the giant glowing ball towards them, it strikes the mirror and bounces back towards the startled black labrador. MYSTIC (terrified): NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The huge glowing ball strikes Mystic and with a loud earth-shaking KABOOM!!!!! she vanishes without a trace. All of Mystic's spells are broken, the force field around the Canius Minor disappears, and all of the trees release Bob, Cactus Jake and all the others. Molly and Bruno have returned to normal. The straight jacket around Grunt disappears also, as do all of the image 'windows' that Saundra and Sheena had been watching. Within seconds, Alexander, Boomer, Deborah, Abdullah, Rasputin and Orchid are teleported from the ship to the area where Persia and the others are. Abdullah sees the raging Grunt standing up, still furious and foaming at the mouth and rushes over and gives him a strong sedative. Grunt slaps him away, and in seconds falls to the ground asleep. Boomer rushes to his wife's side and hugs her, Saundra is still shaken and crying uncontrolably. Claudia and Orchid try to comfort Sheena, who has now fallen to her knees and is howling madly. Deborah administers aid to Bob, who is still lying motionless on the ground. Numbia and Poncho morph back into themselves. Alexander finds Persia and gives her a warm embrace. ALEXANDER (in tears): Persia, are you alright? PERSIA (shaking like a leaf): Old man, this has been the most frightening experience of my life! The scene now shifts to the Canius Minor, five hours later. The ship has taken off the surface of Pulsan Seven. Alexander sits in the captain's chair, Whitey is at the science station, Cactus Jake and Sno-wie are at the helm and navigation controls. Rasputin is standing at the weapons station while Shamansta is sitting at the communications control. As the crew continues to work, Alexander's last log entry plays in the background. ALEXANDER (recorded voice): Captain's log, supplemental. First Officer Alexander reporting. It has been four hours since we left the surface of Pulsac Seven. Many of our crew are visiably shaken from the terrible ordeal that Mystic McLab has put us all through. Lt Molly, Ensign Bruno, Lt Fydo, Cadet Claudia, Lt Commander Bob, Commanders Boomer, Saundra and Grunt, Ship's Doctor Sheena and Captain Persia has all been temporarily relieved of duty in order to recover both physically and emotionally from our latest crisis. The only other injury to report is that of Chief Medical Officer Abdullah, who was struck hard while administering aid to a patient on the planet's surface. I have assumed command of the Canius Minor and after a meeting with the senior officers, it was decided to take up Willian Leader Ki-alla up on her standing offer and return to Graum for needed rest and relaxation. Commendations are recommended for Lt Fydo, Lt Commander Bob and Ensigns Numbia and Poncho. Have we seen the last of Mystic McLab? I would hope so but I have a feeling in my old bones that somehow, somewhere along the line, she'll return to plague us again. End Entry. The scene now shifts to sick bay, where Dr Abdullah (who is wearing a wrist cast) and Deborah are busy giving aid to their new group of patients. Molly and Bruno are in a patient room together. Bruno rests comfortably in bed while Molly has been tied to her bed with restraining straps. MOLLY (struggling and growling): NYET!!! Let me up out of dis bed right nowski! I feel fine! My engines need me! DEBORAH (looks over at her): Lt Molotov, control yourself! You and your husband need to stay here in sick bay overnight. MOLLY (struggles): REMOVE THESE RESTRAINTS NOW!! DEBORAH (giggles): Since you kept leaving sick bay, we had to strap you to your bed. You and Bruno's powers have been affected by being turned to stone, so your body can't pass through the restraints! That's why you two must rest now, your powers will stablize by morning. BRUNO (turns to Molly): Relax, will you my love? MOLLY (growls): How can I relax? Who's watching over my engines? BRUNO (smiles): I'm sure Ensign Sophia can handle your duties, and she has Daisy and Flash to help and ... MOLLY (struggles harder and growls): I DON'T WANT DOSE TWO CRAZY BLOODHOUNDS NEAR MY ENGINES!! Meanwhile, in another room, Boomer sits on the edge of Saundra's bed, hugging her and patting her on the back. BOOMER (softly): It's all over, it's alright.. SAUNDRA (shaking): But... it seemed so real! Like I was being shot all over again... BOOMER (softly, kisses her); But that was a long time ago.... now you are safe and we are together! Saundra nods and kisses her husband again. In another room, Bob and Fydo are quietly resting in their beds, until Dot and Claudia enter the room. DOT (in tears): BOB! (hugs him): I saw what you did, and I'm so proud of you! BOB (groggy): Dot? Is that you? DOT (smiles): Yes, it's me! How do you feel? BOB (groggy): Like my head got stepped on by a T-Rex DOT (kisses him): Maybe that will help! CLAUDIA (grabs the sleeping Fydo and starts kissing him): FYDO!! MY HERO!! FYDO (eyes slowly open): Er.....ah......Claudia? CLAUDIA (hugs him tightly): THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE!!! FYDO (shakes head): No Claudia, I didn't.... CLAUDIA (hugs him tighter): You saved me and the Captain! WHAT A MAN!!! FYDO (struggles to speak): Fydo....can't.....breathe..... In another patient room, Sheena lays on her bed staring at the ceiling while Calypso sits beside her and tries to talk to her. Deborah walks in holding a clipboard. CALYPSO (begging): Doctor, listen to Calypso, what you see on dat planet be not the truth! Cobber, he love you very much! I see it in his eyes when he was here with us! SHEENA (sighs): I know, but that image seemed so REAL. I can't get it off of my mind. My Cobber with Colleen! DEBORAH (press buttons on the wall): I think I have something here that you'll want to see, Sheena! Deborah turns on the view screen, Cobber appears on it. SHEENA (excited): COBBER!!!! COBBER!!!!! It that really you? COBBER (on screen): Yes, my love, I heard about what happaned, are you alright? SHEENA (happy, jumping on the bed): Never better! Never better! CALYPSO (turns to Deborah): You may not be a doctor, Deborah, but you have dee right prescription for THIS case! DEBORAH (nods): Thank you, this time the best treatment was easy to determine In another room, Grunt lays in his bed holding Persia's hand. Doctor Abdullah walks in. PERSIA (looks at Abdullah): Doctor, how is Grunt? ABDULLAH (sternly): The repeated image of your death has affected Grunt's mind. I don't know how to snap him out of it. PERSIA (nods): I have an idea! (turns to Grunt): Commander, I order you to forget about everything you saw on the planet! GRUNT (shakes head): GRRRRRRRRRRRRR GROWL!! PERSIA (sighs): You can't? Maybe THIS will help! Persia stoops over his bed and gives Grunt a long, passionate kiss. GRUNT (smiles): GRRRRRRRRRRR! GROWL!!!!!!!!!!!! PERSIA (nods): Now we're making progress! Grunt, I'm here, I'm alive, and I'm deeply in love with you! GRUNT (smiles): GRRRRRR GROWL!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Grunt jumps out of bed and hugs Persia. ABDULLAH (laughs): Another miracle cure! I'll bet the New England Journal of Medicine wouldn't believe this one! ---------------------------------------------------------------
