Previously on the Aquabats! Supershow!: Featuring the following bizarre clips; the word ‘Now’ with a bug taped to someone’s arm, and an Aquabat blinks and turns into a female Aquabat.
Somewhere…in a spooky graveyard…
(Several of the Aquabats are seen running and screaming however Eaglebones is just walking. We see a pumpkin-headed creature chasing Jimmy, who sprays water at it.)
Ricky: (revealing himself under the pumpkin head) Hey come on, Jimmy, you got me in the eye! You can’t use your water finger- no fair. (calling out) Ok! Jimmy’s it!
Eaglebones: Guys? I don’t think it’s right that we’re playing pumpkinhead tag in this graveyard.
Ricky: Yeah, but you guys were like- ‘I’m scared I’m so scared!’
MCBC: Ok, ok. Let’s just get going. I’ve got a game to finish anyway.
Crash: Hey where’d you get that food?
MCBC: (mouth full) I found it on that grave over there.
Crash: Sweet! (Runs over to grave bearing the name Bob Higginsbottom)
Eaglebones: Commander that is so not cool. You shouldn’t take offerings for the dead that don’t belong to you.
MCBC: Don’t worry Eaglebones. This stuff is still fresh. And besides all these people are prettty dead.
Crash: (crash touches the grave and gets oranged by slime) Eww gross! This stuff is freaking me out. Get it off. GET IT OFF!
(Jimmy tries to get it off and succeeds in getting some into a lab sample container)
Ricky: Nasty what is that stuff?
Jimmy: I’m not sure, but we need to get it back to lab so I can run some tests.
MCBC: (sarcastic) Yeah, let’s get going before we get attacked by ghosts.
Crash: Ghosts? Get me outa here! (Runs over to the door of the battletram) Hey guys, we should go.
Eaglebones: Wait. Do you guys hear that?
Crash: Cut it out Bones, you’re freakin’ me out again.
MCBC: Come on guys. Everyone knows there’s no such thing as ghosts. Bwahaha!
(They all hurry on board the battletram- Ricky last)
Ricky: (as a mysterious chill breeze blows past him) What the? Whoa.
Faux-Mercial:
Mummy spray- send those mummies to the tomb!
(Back inside the battletram, the Commander plays a video game involving snakes and badgers.)
Eaglebones: Commander, I’ve been sensing great unrest in the spirit world ever since we left the graveyard.
MCBC: Shhh, not now Eaglebones.
Eaglebones: But, Commander! I know that there’s been some-
MCBC: Oh! (disappointed) You made me lose another badger!
Eaglebones: But Commander-
MCBC: Wait! Eaglebones, I’m sensing something.
(Eaglebones nods eagerly)
MCBC: I’m sensing, that you’re gonna go get me a cold drink. (Eaglebones sighs and walks away.)
MCBC: (to game) Start!
(Over in the laboratory, Jimmy checks the substance Crash found. Under the microscope, it appears as tiny green floaty sheets- itsy bitsy ghosts!)
Jimmy: Just as I expected!
(Jimmy turns away and when he turns back, a number of books have become stacked all by themselves. The stack is covered in orange slime.)
Jimmy: Very odd. (Lights flicker overhead)
(Back in the media room, Jimmy addresses the others.)
Jimmy: Fellow Aquabats. I’ve completed testing on the unknown orange sticky substance we discovered in the graveyard.
Crash: Yeah, what was that stuff? It tasted like barf.
MCBC: Wait, you ate that stuff?
Eaglebones: Ewww…
Crash: No!
Jimmy: That sticky substance is ectoplasmic residue.
Crash: Ectospastic what?
Eaglebones: Ectoplasmic residue. It’s what’s left behind when spirits pass into this mortal realm. (his voice gets a bit Shakespeare stage actorish)
Ricky: What are you guys getting at?
Jimmy: Well Ricky, let’s say a spirit is like like a small snail-
Crash: I hate snails.
Jimmy: Crash, please listen. When a snail moves along the ground it leaves a shiny trail of slime. Ectoplasm is a shiny slime trail left by-
Crash: A ghost?
Jimmy and Eaglebones: Yes!
MCBC: For the last time- there’s no such thing as ghosts. Now if you dudes could just let me-
(Lights flicker and go out)
Crash: What is HAPPENING!
(Jimmy uses his finger as a flashlight. He finds the control panel and flips a switch back and forth, which gets the lights working again. Lights back on, everyone is startled to find that all the media room chairs have stacked themselves into a structure.)
Eaglebones: Guys. The battletram is haunted!
Jimmy: Ok guys, we need to split up, find this ghost, and find out what he wants from us.
All: Right!
Jimmy: These modified night-vision goggles will record whatever you see and send it to me.
MCBC: Alright. Let’s do this!
Crash: Guys, you may not know this about me, but ghosts really freak me out. I’m starting to get a little scared. (Lights flicker and wicked laughter is heard) Ah!
MCBC: We better get to work. You guys split up. I’ll stay and watch in here. Go! (The others leave) Now where were we? Oh, yeah. What’s up snakeazoids?
(Jimmy examines the lab again.)
Jimmy: (With hand held monitor) Yes. Very close now. There you are. (The ghost materializes from greenish fog as a prospector-type and lunges at Jimmy, cackling. Jimmy screams.)
(Crash checks the hallway)
Crash: Oh man. I see fog. That can’t be good. It’s probably just a mouse. Or a bird. Rattling a chain.
(The prospector ghost appears in front of Crash, scaring him so that he runs through it and gets slimed. Now slime-covered, Crash hides in the bathroom.)
Crash: Jimmy, if you can see this I’ve been attacked by the ghost. He was big. And he was scary. And he got slime all over me. (Unintelligible)
(Ricky investigates the sleeping quarters.)
Ricky: (sees the ghost as a green girl) Whoa! Guys, Jimmy, I see it. It’s a beautiful lady ghost. Look. (Turns the camera apparatus to view the ghost) Excuse me miss. Do you like um..pizza? (The ghost pulls a sheet over herself and throws the rest of the bed sheets around the room.) Whoa! What is going on in here?! (Ricky removes the sheet only to find the prospector ghost- NOT the female ghost. Ricky screams and bolts into the hallway.)
(Ricky knocks on bathroom door.)
Crash: Oh no. The ghost is back.
Ricky: Crash, I’m not the ghost! Let me in!
Crash: Oh sure! That’s exactly what a ghost would say. You can’t fool me. Ghost!
Ricky: Crash, come on. It’s your old pal Ricky Fitness. Let me in.
Crash: Alright. Ok.
(Crash opens the door for Ricky. simultaneously, the ghost appears between them, scaring both and causing Crash to hide in the bathroom again. Inside another door Ricky finds -a cartoooon!)
It’s a cartoon:
Narrator: When we last left the Aquabats Jimmy the robot was captured by the underwater king beneath the surface of the moon.
King: Your friends aren’t coming for you, Jimmy, they’re leaving you behind. You will be my servant ok? Ok. Ima take a nap- don’t try to escape or nothings.
Jimmy: If my friends aren’t coming for me, what is friendship?
Narrator: Watch out Jimmy. It’s a musical number!
(Very short song about friendship)
Jimmy: (asking a small bird who has flown in the jail window) What is friendship?
(The bird nestles up to Jimmy, receives a shock that scorches him black, and leaves, frowning)
Narrator: Bummer. Meanwhile the Aquabats race to save Jimmy!
MCBC: Ok. Now. All we gotta do is park this thing on top of the dome of that underwater city thing…wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it! WAIT FOR IT!
Narrator: (as the sub cracks the glass) Uhh that’s pretty close.
MCBC: Wait. For.! IT..! (the sub actually pushes through the crack in the dome)
Narrator: A breach in a city’s dome!
MCBC: Perfect!
Narrator: Whoa that’s some drop! Ride the flood! Lookout! That’s some fancy submarine driving Eaglebones.
MCBC: Set a course for that castle. I have a hunch that’s where we’ll find Jimmy.
Narrator: Will the Aquabats find Jimmy before he short circuits? And what happened to the underwater king?
King: Uhh I’m ok. Ima taking a nap.
(In the media room, MCBC continues to play his video game.)
MCBC: (while wearing ghost-vision goggles, he notices green prospector character in the game) That guy’s new. (Realizing he’s seeing the ghost) Uh oh.
Ghost: (appearing as a gremlinish face) Get out!!
(The ghost grabs MCBC by biting him and pulls him into the television set.)
Bat cartoon:
Lil bat eats onions, then gets eaten by an onion, which blasts into space.
Eaglebones: Commander, this book says if a ghost appears to you it’s because it wants something. Commander?
Ghost voice: Get out! (Lights flicker again)
Eaglebones: Angry spirit. We mean you no harm. What is it that you want from us?
MCBC: (voice only) Eaglebones is that you?
Eaglebones: (addressing television, which is all static now) Commander? Are you in there?
MCBC: Yes, help me! Get me out of here!
Eaglebones: Stay there. We’ll get you out. (He leaves)
MCBC: Stay where?! Where am I?
(Back to Crash who is still hiding in the bathroom)
Crash: AHH!! Ok, Crash. It’s just you. (Knocking) Leave me alone!
Eaglebones: (with Ricky and Jimmy) Crash it’s us. The Commander needs our help.
Crash: Well how do I know you’re not a ghost?
(Eaglebones gives another Kif Kroker type sigh, and all three leave)
Crash: Yeah that’s what I thought. Ghost face!
(Back in the media room)
Eaglebones: Commander I found Jimmy and Ricky. Are you still in there?
MCBC: Yeah, I’m here. Help me outta here!
Ricky: We’re gonna try, Commander.
(Ghost laughs)
Eaglebones: That ghost must want something bad. But what?
MCBC: Hey I can see it. Aahh, the ghost is here with me now. Wha -wha huh? The graveyard? He’s telling me to go back to the graveyard. What burrito? Oh yeah. Sorry. Uhhhh!!!
Eaglebones: That’s it! The Commander must have eaten that ghost’s burrito.
Jimmy: Of course. And now he wants us to make things right. (Pokes screen) Here! This is the hole to the other dimension. Aim right here.
Ricky: (preparing rope with shoe anchor) Commander, catch this shoe and hold onto it.
MCBC: Ok. Ouch. Ya hit me right in the neck.
Eaglebones: Hold on tight commander
All three: 3,2,1 Pull!
(All four ‘Bats land in a pile)
Ghost: (sticking his head through the screen) The burrito!
MCBC: Ok, ok, jeepers. Aquabats to the graveyard!
(At the graveyard)
Eaglebones: Spirit of…Bob Higginsbottom. We return what was rightfully yours. This fresh handmade burrito-
Ricky: with fresh healthy veggies!
Eaglebones: With fresh healthy veggies. And this large cherry swordfish slooshy from gas town.
MCBC: (Aside) That I had to pay for.
Eaglebones: Please return now and rest in peace.
Ghost: (appearing as prospector) Hey thanks a lot guys. I feel a whole lot better about everything. And I want you boys to realize that these things are my personal property. THIS is my personal property. 1!2!3!4! (Ghost launches into a metal song- Personal Property! Which terrifies the already nervous Aquabats. After the song he disappears.)
MCBC: Let’s go.
(All except Crash play the badger/snake video game in the media room.)
MCBC: Is he still in there?
Jimmy: Yup!
(They laugh)
Crash: I’ve been in here for hours. No one is alive but me. The ghost ate everyone. Everyone! I’m all alone. I’m sorry for the things I did when I was a kid. Like the time I taped the fish to the television set!
