Mystic McLab is a creation of Bart Walls. The Space Rovers -- "Go West, Space Rovers! -- Part 2" In the saloon, the three gruff looking cowboys have Cactus Jake and Whitey at gunpoint. Whitey quickly uses his matter altering powers to fuse all of the cowboy's guns solid, making them unable to fire. The impatient cowboys try to shoot the two disguised Space Rovers, but can't. A fistfight begins. Whitey is caught by surprise and ends up on the floor. Cactus Jake blocks several punchs and then hits one of the cowboys hard, knocking him out. Another cowboy swings at Cactus Jake with a chair, he misses him but the chair flies through the front window. Deborah, Persia, Alexander and Grunt hear the commotion, they and some of the townspeople gather outside the saloon to watch. PERSIA (points): Cactus Jake and Whitey are in there! GRUNT (huge grin): That looks like a LOT of FUN! Grunt runs into the saloon, soon cowboy after cowboy is seen being flung out of the broken window by Grunt. He even punchs the bartender and sends him through the window too. CACTUS JAKE (shocked): GRUNT! Take it easy! WHITEY (concerned): We are drawing unwanted attention to ourselves! GRUNT (shrugs shoulders): Sorry. But you know how much I LOVE fighting! WHITEY (rolls eyes): Of course. One of the saloon gals returns with the sheriff and two deputies. SALOON GAL (points): That's them! Them's the troublemakers! SHERIFF (gruffly): Looks like you strangers have wrecked this saloon. (points gun): You're all under arrest! GRUNT (happy): More cowboys to punch! WHITEY (screaming); NO!! CACTUS JAKE (screaming): GRUNT! STOP!! Before the sheriff and the other deputies can draw or shoot, Grunt has already punched them all, sending them through the broken window and unto the street. Out of instinct, Deborah runs over and tries to treat the wounds of all of the cowboys. One of them slaps her in the face. COWBOY (furious): I need a doctor, not some unless woman! DEBORAH (shouts): Go ahead and bleed to death then! See if I care! Grunt is looking through the broken window and sees Deborah get slapped. Before anyone can stop him, he rushes into the street and hits the cowboy so hard, he flies across the street and into a water trough, making a big splash. PERSIA (angry): GRUNT! Stop it! GRUNT (furious): NO ONE SLAPS DEBORAH! ALEXANDER (panics): Captain! All of these people are staring at us! We'll never find the time crystal at this rate! PERSIA (smiles): I have an idea! Persia sends a telepathic message to Otto, who is still in the stable tending to Starlight. He walks outside and activates his internal image projector, making the sky all around appear dark and a tornado funnell to be heading towards the south end of town. This causes all of the people of the town to leave the streets and run for shelter, giving the Space Rovers time to rush back to the stable unnoticed. Once inside the stable, they begins to discuss their current situation. ALEXANDER (shakes head): Captain, we are getting nowhere fast! OTTO (sternly); If my internal time chronometer is functioning properly, it will be sundown in two hours. STARLIGHT (sadly): Otto and I have scanned this entire area, and have found nothing out of the ordinary! DEBORAH (crying): I want to go home! PERSIA (hugs Deborah): Don't worry, Ensign. We'll find a way out of this mess somehow! CACTUS JAKE (growls): What if Mystic is having us on a wild goose chase? What it there ain't no time crystal? PERSIA (sternly): There is a time crystal! Before she vanished, I read Mystic's mind and there is a time crystal! GRUNT (ears perk up): Did you hear something? STARLIGHT (sternly): I'm detecting a human presence in the stable! OTTO (nods, points): Right over there! Suddenly, a shadowy figure who was hiding behind some hay bales tries to run away, but falls unto the floor of stable. The Rovers soon surround her. PERSIA (shocked): Mary Smith? MARY (scared): Please, please.... don't hurt me. I saw the tornado coming... so I ran in here .... CACTUS JAKE (nods): That was some smart thinkin' ma'am! MARY (slowly stands up): Persia, what's going on? PERSIA (smiles): What do you mean? MARY (sternly); I mean I heard that horse over there talk! And why is everyone calling you Captain? PERSIA (stuttering): Er....well ..... I can explain ... Starlight jumps up on her hind legs and makes horse sounds. MARY (sternly): No no! I heard you talk, horse! And you guys keep talking about a time crystal and ... Mary feels around her neck, looks at herself and is distressed. MARY (panics): Oh my! I lost my necklace! It's a gold necklace with a blue gem on the front of it. PERSIA (looks down, picks it up): Is this your necklace, Mary? MARY (smiles): Yes, it is! I just found it today on my desk! CACTUS JAKE (shocked): On your desk? MARY (smiles): Some secret admirer must've put it there this morning! WHITEY (looks at the necklace): Captain! That must be the time crystal! When Whitey says that, suddenly Mystic McLab appears in the stable. MARY (points, frightened): What.... what...... what is that? MYSTIC (smiles): So, you found the time crystal! I can't believe it! I thought for sure if I gave it to the school marm, you'd never find it! MARY (scared): A talking dog! MYSTIC (laughs): Not just A talking dog, human! I'm Mystic McLab! DEBORAH (points): Fair is fair Mystic! We found the time crystal! Now we can go home! MYSTIC (smiles): You found the time crystal! This calls for a celebration! I'll sing! LLAAAAAAAA!!!! Mystic holds a high note for thirty seconds, it's the right pitch that it shatters the time crystal right before their eyes. GRUNT (shocked); THE TIME CRYSTAL!! MYSTIC (laughs): Guess they don't make them like they used to. Oh well, guess you guys are stuck here! Grunt grabs a pitchfork and swings at Mystic, she floats above them all and is now hovering directly over Persia and Mary. PERSIA (growls): Mystic! This little joke has gone on long enough! MYSTIC (giggles): You're right, Captain Persia! Let's let Mary and the others see you for what you really are! Mystic waves her hand, the 'disguise' spell has been broken. Just as the sheriff and townspeople rush over to the stable, they and Mary all watch the illusion vanish and see Space Rovers and Otto as the cano-sapiens they are. Mary is frightened at first, but then looks into Persia's eyes and is no longer afraid. MYSTIC (laughing hard): Captain! Looks like you have big problems here! Time for me to leave! So long, Space mutts! The crowd of people are frightened when they watch Mystic McLab disappear in a flame of fire. SHERIFF (points): LOOK! IT'S THE STRANGERS! COWBOY (points): They're animals! SALOON GAL (points): And they have the school marm! SHERIFF (draws gun): You strangers ain't takin' over MY town! (shouts out): Git'm!! Deborah, Otto and Starlight jump forward and turn on their force fields, forming a protective 'wall' which causes all of the bullets to bounce away from them. SHERIFF (shocked): What in tarnation? Cactus Jake, Starlight and Otto use their laser beams eyes to carefully melt every pistol and shotgun being used to fire at them with. Seeing their weapons melt in their hands is enough for most of the townspeople, they run away screaming. The Sheriff and his duputies remain standing in front of the Space Rovers. SHERIFF (angry): You won't get away that easy! Whitey picks up a rock, changes it into a smoke bomb and throws it at the sheriif and his men. Otto uses his super speed to hitch Starlight back up to her cart, all of the Rovers and Mary hop in as Starlight gallops out of the stable. The townspeople scream and panic when they see the Space Rovers pass by, followed by the sheriif and his men on horseback. PERSIA (shouting): Starlight! Get us out of here! STARLIGHT (shouting): Everyone hold on really tight! In an instant, Starlight turns on her super speed and leaves the sheriff and his men in a cloud of dust. They are now over a mile out of town. PERSIA (telepathically to Starlight): Starlight! Stop! The cart is starting to break apart! Starlight skids to a halt, as she does, the wooden cart she is pulling begins to fall apart, sending all of the Rovers and Mary to the ground. WHITEY (shocked): The wooden cart could not withstand the strain of your super speed, Starlight! CACTUS JAKE (dusting himself off): No kidding, Sherlock! MARY (standing up): Persia, please tell me what the heck's going on? Persia slowly and carefully tells Mary the entire story. MARY (sadly): And now you have no way to git back to future! I'm so sorry. PERSIA (turns to Whitey): Whitey, is there a chance you can use your powers to fix the time crystal? WHITEY (shakes his head): I'd have to know how it was constructed. Without that knowledge I cannot reconfigure it correctly. GRUNT (now back to growling): GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GROWL!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! PERSIA (shakes head): No Grunt, there's no chance of finding another time crystal. I read Mystic's mind, she meant to strand all of us here all along! DEBORAH (sits down and weeps): My husband! My daughter! I'll never see them again! Although Mary doesn't really understand what is happening, she is deeply saddened when she sees Deborah crying. MARY (turns to Persia): Captain.. Persia ... Is there anything I can do to help? STARLIGHT (bluntly): I detect fifty two humans on horseback coming in this direction! CACTUS JAKE (growls): That'd be the sheriif and a big possy, out to kill us strangers! ALEXANDER (scared): What can we do? OTTO (sternly): I have a plan! Whitey, can you create for me a wooden desk, twelve pieces of paper, an black ink pen and a Manila envelope, please? CACTUS JAKE (confused): What? We need weapons! Not that stuff! Mary stares in amazmenet as Whitey turns a huge boulder into a wooden desk with all the things Otto requested on it. As Otto uses his super speed to write on the paper, Cactus Jake uses his freeze vision to form an ice wall in front of the sheriff's possy. The confused riders circle around the wall, looking for a way to get through it. Meanwhile, Otto has finished writing, puts all of the papers into the Manila envelope, writes some words on the surface, seals it, and hands it to Mary. OTTO (sternly): Mary Smith, you must promise us that you'll keep this envelope with you, pass it down to your female desendants, and instruct them not to it until the exact time specified on it. Will you keep this promise? Mary seems confused, Persia smiles at her and nods. MARY (shouts): Ok! I promise! As soon as Mary speaks, a bright yellow light is seen a few yards away from where all of them are standing. The light soon fades, revealing a large, gray metal structure resembling a large 'flying saucer.' A door opens, and out runs Daisy, Flash and Bob. ALEXANDER (shocked): Daisy? Flash?? BOB???? DAISY (smiles): Yup! We're here! CACTUS JAKE (shakes head): But.. how? FLASH (smiles): We got your letter, Otto! That was so smart! PERSIA (nods): I see! Mary's desendants DID open the envelope in the future! BOB (nods): That's right! Otto explained the problem, told us you'd be here and even did a quick time machine blueprint for us to follow! DAISY (smiles): So now we're here to take all of you back to the year 2000! MARY (smiles): You, you really ARE from the future! PERSIA (smiles): Yes, and we thank you for your help! Persia and Mary hug as the other Space Rovers, Starlight and Otto enter the time machine. MARY (crying): I'll never forget you, Captain Persia! PERSIA (crying): Nor will I forget you, Mary Smith! OTTO (shouts): Persia! We have to go now! The possy is coming! Persia runs to the time machine. MARY (shocked): What will I tell the possy? PERSIA (shouts): Tell them we kidnapped you, and that we returned to our home planet! MARY (confused): Home planet? As the possy arrives, they all see the strange flying saucer lift off the ground, and in a blinding flash of light, disappear. The scene now switches to present day earth, at Road Rover Mission Control. The time machine has just appeared in the motor pool area and the Space Rovers let Otto and Starlight off. PERSIA (looks at Otto): Before you go, Otto, answer a question for me. How did you know that Mary Smith would carry out your instructions? OTTO (sternly): I did some quick research of Mary's family tree and discovered her great granddaughter was someone we could trust. (points) There she is now. Holding the aged Manila envelope in her hand, the young lady hugs Starlight around her neck and then walks towards the time machine. She is wearing a white mask, white cape and a white costume that accents her flowing blonde hair. PERSIA (shocked): The Masked Melitta? OTTO (sternly): More specificly, Wanna Talk-Lovejoy. It was a calculated risk on my part that she would be the one decendant who would end up with the envelope. MELITTA (hugs Otto tightly): Your brilliant plan worked! I'm so glad that you, Starlight and all of the Space Rovers are back in the present! PERSIA (nods): Brilliant indeed, Otto! As the Master would say, you're a good, good dog! DAISY (shouts out to Persia): Captain, we have to go now. Alexander has contacted us, he has the artificial wormhole generator ready to open a passage back for us back to the Canius Minor. PERSIA (shouts back): I'll be there in a minute! (turns to Melitta and hugs her): Thank you, miss, for your help in all of this! MELITTA (smiles): It's my pleasure to help you in anyway I can! OTTO (smiles): Have a pleasant return voyage, Captain Persia! STARLIGHT (shouts): Let's hope we've seen the last of Mystic McLab! PERSIA (nods): I certainly hope we have, Starlight! Goodbye everyone! Persia waves and walks inside of the time machine. It takes off and heads for space, and then disappears inside of the wormhole. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
