Previously on the Aquabats! Supershow!: This one has ALOT of strange ones. I think my favorite is the collapsing chair.
Somewhere, at a rock concert…
(We see footage of an Aquabats concert. Cut to MCBC driving the battletram while Jimmy rides shotgun.)
Jimmy: Great show Commander. You were really goin’ for it out there tonite, but are you sure you’re not too tired to drive?
MCBC: Me? No way. I’m still riding the adrenaline from that show. Why I feel like I could…zzz
(The battletram swerves as MCBC nods off. Jimmy screams, waking MCBC who returns to his lane.)
MCBC: Maybe I should get some sleep. You know, just to be doin it.
Jimmy: (looking scared) Good idea Commander uh, why don’t you pull over at the next gas station and we can all get some rest?
(The four human ‘bats are in bunks while Jimmy sits in a rocking chair.)
Eaglebones: Uh Jimmy. I think we can handle getting to sleep without you sitting there all night.
Crash: Not me Jimmy. I wanna hear a story about bears and licorice- and bears with licorice arms!
Jimmy: Ok, Crash. How about this one: The Floating Eye of Death.
Crash: The floating eye of what?
Jimmy: Once upon a time there was a giant floating eyeball that flew across the land-
Crash: I like this story!
Jimmy: -in search of human souls to devour!
Crash: I don’t like this story!
Jimmy: It trapped its victims with its long tentacles, and sucked out their souls with a terrifying stare. These poor doomed saps became the Floating Eye’s soldiers, forced to help it in its quest to suck out the soul of every human on the planet. Finally a brave wizard banished the Floating Eye to another dimension with powerful magics. And now the only way to summon it back to earth is to say Floating Eye of Death backwards three times. Like this:
Crash: Ok ok I’m really tired- should probly go to sleep now.
Eaglebones: (musing) Floating Eye of Death backwards…thead foe yeh g-nitolf! WOW! Those are some seriously powerful magic words.
Crash: Shut up Eaglebones. Don’t say it again.
Ricky: (Mischievously) Don’t say what?
Crash: Thead foe yeh g-nitolf! Aw now I’ve said it- that’s twice!
MCBC: Everybody Be QUIET. I’m tryina sleep.
Jimmy: I guess I should go recharge. Unless you guys want me to sit here all night.
Eaglebones: Uhh no.
Ricky: Naw.
Crash: Kinda.
MCBC: Go to sleep.
Jimmy: Alright then. I’ll let you four go to sleep in your warm cozy bunks in your warm cozy jammies. And I’ll go back to my dark lab all alone and plug myself into that cold recharge station.
Ricky: Cool, goodnight! (Jimmy leaves) Thead foe yeh g-nitolf- whatever!
(Over in the lab, Jimmy looks at a picture of all five wistfully, before stepping into his recharge station. In the sleeping quarters Crash is restless, thinking he hears noises.)
Crash: Forget this. I’m gonna get some snacks.
(Crash walks outside towards the gas station convenience store. We see the Floating Eye from the bedtime story rise in the background, but no one notices it.)
Gas station employee we later learn is named Tina: Good evening.
Crash: Hi. Do you guys carry snacks? (She points) Yesss! No way, you have video games?
Tina: You can try but you’re not gonna beat my high score.
Crash: It’s a cartoooon!
It’s a cartoon:
Narrator: Last time, the shrunken Aquabats flew up Jimmy’s nose. OMG gross! Meanwhile, a giant space worm closes in on the battletram.
MCBC: It’s not working! I can’t hold them off forever. What do I do?
Eaglebones: Just pull the plug that’s to the right of the button and then plug it back in.
Narrator: Jimmy’s antivirus defense system springs into action. Eat that parasites!
MCBC: Bones get me out of here!
Narrator: Meanwhile the space worm finally knocks some sense into Jimmy the Robot. Time for some fancy space drivin!
MCBC: Jimmy come in. Jimmy do you read me?
Jimmy: I must really be malfunctioning. I can hear voices in my head.
MCBC: That’s good Jimmy! Listen to the voices in your head.
Jimmy: Commander? Where are you?
MCBC: We’re in your head Jimmy. We had to restart your computer brain and now your defense system is about to destroy us. Can you guide us out of here quickly?
Jimmy: My friends saved me?
MCBC: Jimmy. Concentrate.
Jimmy: My sensors are giving me your location. If you look to your right you should see a yellow wire; follow it down.
Narrator: Watch out Jimmy, that space worm just chomped a hole in space-time! Galloping galaxies. More wormholes!
Eaglebones: They’re gaining on us!
MCBC: Quick, turn there!
Eaglebones: Uh Jimmy? Where are we?
Jimmy: I’m sensing…you’re in my heart.
MCBC: Uhhh ok, what next?
Jimmy: Ok there’s a special compartment- (an alarm sounds indicating antivirus ships have found them)
Narrator: Busted! (they are fired upon and take damage)
Shuttle computer: Rocket reexpansion to begin in ten, nine, eight…
MCBC: Jimmy we need to get out of here now!
Narrator: Can the Aquabats escape before they grow back to normal size and break Jimmy’s heart for reals? Tune in next week G!
Crash: Aw man I stink at this game!
(A tentacle snakes in through the door and drags off the trucker as he’s shopping. Tina screams hysterically.)
Crash: That trucker needs help. (He rushes outside and sees the Floating Eye) Ahhhh it’s real! I knew it!
FauxMercial: Stoopid phone- it’s not just a phone, it’s a lifestyle!
Crash: Ahhhh it’s real! I knew it!
(Crash watches in horror as the trucker is turned into a zombie by the eye)
Trucker: Let me down! Ahhhhh!!!
(Trucker, now green and zombified, stumbles toward Crash, who evades him and rushes to the battletram.)
Crash: (tugging at the door unsuccessfully) Oh no! I locked myself out. Guys, guys! Ya gotta wake up! The floating death eye thing is real!
MCBC: (in his bunk) If that stupid neighbor cat doesn’t shut up-!
Crash: Guys wake up ya gotta wake up! (He runs around to try the other door)
MCBC: (answering the door Crash has just left) Listen you! Huh?
(MCBC is grabbed and zombified. Crash runs in the door he’s left ajar.)
Crash: Ricky! Eaglebones! Wake up!
Eaglebones: What is it now Crash?
Crash: We really summoned that floaty eye thing! It turned the commander all green.
Ricky: What?
Crash: Yeah come on! See for yourself.
(They check an external camera from the media room)
Ricky: Oh no this is all our fault!
Eaglebones: We’ve gotta help him.
Crash: It’s too late for the Commander, but we’ve gotta save that girl in the gas station
Ricky: Girl?
(Inside the store Tina hides behind a counter.)
Tina: Hello? Is anyone there who’s not a grodey tentacle? (MCzomBC and Trucker Zombie enter and grab Tina) Get out of my store! Get out of here! (They drag her outside.) I’m not allowed to leave the register. Help! Help me! Oh my gosh! What is that thing? (She screams)
Ricky: Hey!! Floating Eye Guys!
(Ricky distracts the zombies by running in circles around them as Crash and Eaglebones retreat to the store with Tina. Eaglebones locks them in.)
Eaglebones: You’re safe now ma’am
Tina: Do y’all know what that thing is?
Crash: It’s the Floating Eye, of Death.
Eaglebones: And it won’t stop, until it’s sucked out all of our souls.
Tina: Dang. Kind of a bummer.
Crash: (distracted) Whoa! You guys have trucker caps!
Ricky: (outside) Hey guys, can I stop now? Guys!
Tina: Oh this one’s great. It says, “Feel My Steel” with a picture of a tiny truck.
Eaglebones: So rad!
(As Ricky pounds on the door, they use the beat to rap with the trucker slogans. While they are all distracted, Ricky gets turned.)
Crash: Hey Ricky. Ricky?
Eaglebones: Ricky!!!
Tina: Who’s Ricky?
Bat Cartoon: Lil Bat attempts to be rad at skateboarding.
(Jimmy, now fully recharged, heads to the bedroom, then the media room.)
Jimmy: Guys? Where is everybody? Am I- all alone?
(Back in the convenience store)
Tina: Is there any way to stop that thing?
Crash: Yeah. We need to fix that floating eye thing good!
Eaglebones: That’s it, Crash. Instead of trying to stop it, we should think of a way to fix it!
Crash: I made a smart!
Eaglebones: But how do you fix a bad eye?
Tina: Ooh! My granddaddy had bad eyes, but he got some of that fancy laser surgery- fixed him up real good!
Eaglebones and Crash: Lasers? Jimmy!!
Tina: Who’s Jimmy?
(To get out of the store past the zombies, Eaglebones distracts them by throwing snack cakes at them.)
Eaglebones: Hey! Zombies! You guys like snacks?
(Inside the store)
Crash: You stay here….
Tina: Tina!
Crash: -Tina and I’ll be back with our robot friend.
Tina: Be careful! Don’t let that thing look you in the eye.
Crash: Don’t worry.
Tina: Ok.
Crash: I’ll cover my eyes and it won’t be able to hurt me.
Eaglebones: (calling from outside) Hurry up, Crash. I’m running low on snacks here!
Crash: (running outside) JIMMMMYYYY! Jimmy! Lasers! Shoot it with lasers!!!
Jimmy: (checking the external camera in the media room) I’m not alone!
(Crash runs to the battletram with his eyes covered and promptly knocks himself unconscious on it.)
Eaglebones: Well that’s just awesome… (The zombies hold Eaglebones while the Floating Eye turns him)
Jimmy: No Bones! No! Now I truly am alone. It’s all because of that stupid eyeball!
(Jimmy fearlessly strides into the store past the four zombies)
Jimmy: (to Tina) If you want to survive, give me everything I ask for and do exactly as I say. Are we good?
Tina: We’re good.
(They do a more ‘rock’ version of Feel My Steel while Jimmy builds a laser of convenience store items. He and Tina bring the laser outside.)
Jimmy: Stand aside, Miss. I’ll handle this. Set for stun. (He shoots down each zombie, then speaks to the Eye) It’s your turn. Come and get me! (It scoops him up) Set for slice and dice. (He cuts the eye open with the laser and drains its aqueous humor, which causes it to explode.)
Tina: Weehoo! You saved us all, Ricky!
Jimmy: It’s Robot. Jimmy the Robot.
(Indicates the zombies) Kinda thought they’d turn back to normal.
(Later in the sleeping quarters of the battletram, we see all four human ‘bats in their bunks. They are varying shades of green except Crash, who has a bandage around his head.)
Jimmy: Lunchtime!
Crash: Hey thanks, Robot.
Jimmy: Don’t mention it Crash. Come on now Commander. Eat your Floating Eye of Death goop. Your soul’s in here somewhere and we gotta make sure you get it all back!
Crash: Sorry you’ve had to take care of us the past three weeks.
Jimmy: I don’t mind. At least I’m not all alone. I’m surrounded by my best friends. Now who wants to hear a story? How about the Flaming Rhino of Darkness?
(Crash shakes his head. Ricky is so upset he falls off his bunk. Jimmy winces and looks uncertain.)
