Previously on the Aquabats! Supershow!:
Mostly shots of them screaming.
Somewhere, in the depths of a coal mine…
Ricky: (whispering) Did they tell ya what it looks like?
MCBC: No they just said that it was real big, and real ugly.
(A giant hideous creature with gnawy rodent teeth appears around a corner and screeches at them. They all run outside to escape, screaming loudly the entire time. MCBC uses a stick of dynamite to seal the mine entrance. After a moment, The Aquabats cheer.)
MCBC: Good thing that dynamite was there.
Miner: That’s all you’re gonna do? What about the monster in our mine??
MCBC: No need to worry. The mine is sealed. So you’re all safe.
Miner: You were supposed to get that thing out. We work in there!
MCBC: Well. You better look for a new job my friend. To get that giant mole rat out, you’d have to be real stupid or real dumb. (Miner gives him an annoyed look) Alright. (He looks sheepish and they leave)
(Back on board the battletram)
MCBC: Those miners got pretty mad… Look, if they didn’t want people to use their dynamite they shouldn’t leave it laying around.
Jimmy: They weren’t mad about the dynamite, Commander. They were mad because you made the problem worse.
MCBC: What are you suggesting robot?
Jimmy: Just that you may want to plan before you make decisions.
MCBC: Planning takes time that men of action don’t have. Being quick on your feet and making split-second decisions- that’s what makes a true leader.
Eaglebones: Here we go again.
(Sings a song- Just Winging It- while inside a strange cartoon montage)
MCBC: Jimmy, why have we stopped?
Jimmy: Because we’re out of gas, Commander.
MCBC: See, Jimmy? Planning can’t solve all our problems.
(The Aquabats all trudge slowly through the desert. Crash carries gas cans on a long pole over his shoulders.)
Eaglebones: Water. Need water
MCBC: Eaglebones, no man, don’t give up. I got ya, I got ya man.
Ricky: Look we’re saved! (points at a town in the distance)
FauxMercial: Lil bat cartoon player- Not for use in direct sunlight!
(The Aquabats arrive in the town they spotted.)
MCBC: Wow this looks just like a town from the old west. (Eaglebones is so thirsty he coughs out dust.) There’s got to be a saloon around here somewhere. There! Aquabats go!
(They all walk slowly inside.)
MCBC: Water. Cold water.
(The bartender hands them glasses of brownish water, which they all drink except Ricky, who eyes his suspiciously. A man with a gun enters behind them.)
Man: Well well well. What do we have here? Strangers! You all ain’t welcome here.
MCBC: Well theyn maybe it’s time for a showdown. (Laughs to himself)
(The man shoots the glass in MCBC’s hand)
Man: Boys. You either real stupid or real dumb.
MCBC: Listen pardner, we don’t want any trouble. We just need some water and some gas and then we’ll be on our merry way.
Man: You ain’t going nowhere. (Flashes a sheriff’s badge) Y’all under arrest.
All: (muttering) Huh? Arrest? What for?
Sheriff: (to townsfolk) Get em’! Get em’! Get up there and get em’!
(The townsfolk attack them- in some cases seemingly reluctantly. An awesome saloon fight ensues. The sheriff’s face comes off after he is hit by a chair.)
Sheriff: What are you all looking at?
Crash: Your crazy robot face!
(The sheriff pull the moustache off the human mask he’d been wearing and sticks it in approximately the right place on his…crazy robot face.)
Sheriff: You’re gonna pay for that. Yeehaw! (Shoots ‘Bat Commander on the ‘A’ emblem on his chest. He continues shooting up he place until Eaglebones jumps in to try and stop him)
Eaglebones: Hold on! I’m outta tune.
Sheriff: Well ain’t that just too bad. Hands up varmints!
(MCBC awakens in jail)
MCBC: (touching his chest injury) Burns, it burns!
Sheriff: Rise and shine, yellow belly. Now take a look down yonder at yer friends.
MCBC: You, you coward! robot! face!
Sheriff: Big words for a little man in a cage.
MCBC: You better let my friends go, right now!
Sheriff: How bout this, I’m gonna hang your friends for fightin’ in my town. And then I’m gonna hang you for making me angry.
(Left alone, MCBC tries kicking the door down and fails.)
MCBC: If I could just reach those keys.
(He can’t reach the keys. At all. They are like ten feet away.)
(Outside, the other ‘Bats stand with nooses around their necks.)
Sheriff: Morning boys. It’s a real shame.
(Bat Commander spots some kids who have snuck inside to help him.)
MCBC: Hey, hey the keys! Thanks little homies.
Girl: Here’s some ointment for your burn.
MCBC: Uh. It’s so stinky.
Girl: I’ll help your burn feel better.
MCBC: Thanks little brodeos.
Boy: Wait!
Girl: Shhhh!
Boy: Aren’t you gonna make a plan or something? We need your help. People try to escape all the time but no one ever makes it.
MCBC: You’re right I do need a plan. I’ve got one! (MCBC throws the ointment down, breaking it, and runs out the door. He screams and charges the Sheriff who fires on him, missing. Jimmy uses the distraction to free the others with his laser finger and they all run off back into the desert.)
Ricky: What’s that sheriffs problem?
MCBC: I don’t know. But I could sure use a glass of water. And maybe some more of that soothing ointment.
Ricky: I don’t think that’s ointment.
Eaglebones: I hear the vulture’s cry and the wind is hot. Without water or gas, we’ll only last a couple of hours.
MCBC: Wait look!
Crash: Cars!
MCBC: If one of those cars still has gas, we can fill the battletram.
All: Yeah!
Crash: (searching the cars) Food! A cheese ball!
Eaglebones: Everyone! Come quickly!
Look! It’s a cartoon!!
It’s a cartoon:
Narrator: When we last left the Aquabats they were desperately searching for Jimmy the robot inside a collapsing underwater city deep beneath the surface of the mooooon- (narrator breathes in, once, heavily) can they find him before it’s too late?
Crash: I see Jimmy!
Narrator: I guess so.
All: We gotta get him!
Crash: I’m coming robot buddy!
Narrator: Crash fires himself into the water and grows to supersize. Chompers. (Crash picks up Jimmy by carrying him in his mouth. He then spits him inside the submarine.) Eww, wet dog smell.
MCBC: Jimmy! Wake up. Please robot friend wake up.
Narrator: A robomalfunction?
MCBC: Ricky, I need batteries quick.
Ricky: Right! I’m on it!
Narrator: Double A’s!!
Jimmy: (speaks in female automated sounding voice) Aquabat android. Jimmy. All systems on. Running systems check.
MCBC: Aquabats, back to that cave. We’ve gotta get off the moon!
Narrator: The Aquabats race to the surface just before the city crumbles around them. But they’re not safe yet. The collapsing underwater city causes a massive cave-in.
MCBC: Now, how do we get out of here?
Eaglebones: Commander. Look! An exit sign!
MCBC: Right!
(They all run to the exit sign except Jimmy who walks very slowly.)
Narrator: What is wrong with Jimmy the Robot? Can the Aquabats find a way to fix him and escape the moon? I’m guessing- maybe? Tune in to the next episode!
(Back to the cars in the parking lot.)
Jimmy: Hey commander! I found something. I don’t think the people in that western town were western at all.
MCBC: (read) Take a trip to the past. Visit an authentic ‘Old Western’ movie set and meet the first cowboy android used in he film Cowboy Androids.
Ricky: Hey that was a good movie.
(Crash and Ricky, apparently both fans of the film, sing a rendition of the theme song.)
MCBC. Wait. So those townsfolk are really just tourists-
Jimmy: held against their will by that-
All: -cowboy android!
Crash: So you’re saying he’s some kinda robot?
Jimmy: Yes, Crash, he’s an android. The desert heat must have short-circuited his wiring, turning him to pure evil.
MCBC: Then there’s not a moment to lose. Aquabats, let’s go!
Eaglebones: Commander, wait. We can’t go back there without a good plan.
Jimmy: He’s right Commander. It was your lack of planning that got us here.
MCBC: What lack of planning? (He looks at each Aquabat in turn) Crash? Ricky?
Ricky: Don’t look at me.
MCBC: Fine! (He walks away for just a moment, walks back, takes the cheese ball from Crash, and walks away again.)
Crash: Hey! My cheese ball!
Ricky: I think we hurt his feelings.
Crash: Well he hurt my feelings. When he took my cheese ball!
Ricky: He’s coming back right?
Eeaglebones: I don’t know. But we better make our own plan. Just in case he doesn’t.
(Off on his own, MCBC looks at cheese ball and has an idea. Takes off running)
(Ricky enters the main street and tries to stare down the sheriff.)
Ricky: Sheriff. Let the townspeople go.
Sheriff: Don’t make me laugh, Gringo. Hahaha! You’re a dead man, Gringo.
Ricky: If you’re gonna shoot me you better aim for the heart.
Sheriff: No problem. Yeeehaw!
(The sheriff shoots Ricky squarely in the chest. Ricky pulls aside his poncho, revealing a hubcap which has acted as armor)
Sheriff:You’re gonna pay for that!
(All the Aquabats enter with hub caps. Crash is covered with about ten of them. The Sheriff takes aim and hits Crash)
Crash: Oww! He got my shoe!
Sheriff: One down. Three to go. Come on, Gringo.
(Ricky rushes him with hub shield, but is knocked over before he can get to the sheriff. Eaglebones tries lasering the sheriff but it’s not enough. Jimmy uses his lasers but the sheriff just won’t go down.)
Sheriff: You’re gonna pay for that!
(MCBC appears charging in, followed by our old friend, the flying mole rat. He sticks the cheese on the sheriff’s vest. The mole rat pulls him to pieces, eats the cheese and flies away. They all gather round the broken android. The little girl from earlier takes the moustache.)
Girl: Awesome!
Crash: Commander you did it!
Ricky: How’d you know the mole rat would follow the cheese?
MCBC: Because Ricky, everyone loves cheese balls.
Old Timer: Thanks the Aqu’bats! I’m free. I can finally go back and work in the mines. (Coughs)
MCBC: Get along little doggie. What is it robot?
Jimmy: We should’ve asked for ride.
Eaglebones: And some gas.
MCBC: Don’t worry Aquabats. This time I’ve got a plan. (Starts walking away)
Ricky: Do you think his plan is to walk through the desert?
Eaglebones: Yes Ricky. I think it is.
