Previously on the Aquabats! Supershow!: Pretty much all of it is accurate, except for someone’s foot destroying an Aquabats cake.
Somewhere… in a junk-filled vacant lot…
Ricky: Guys I know we’re out of money. I know our credit card’s been canceled and the bank is after us. But! I have a little surprise. I’ve been saving this for our last meal together. (He pulls out a slice of pizza and roasts it on the fire.)
Bones: So tell me again how we lost all of our money?
MCBC: Ok guys I know I made a mistake. I just thought if we spent all our money on these special collectors plates we could sell them to our fans and make a ton of cash. I had no idea they’d break so easy. Besides, who would want a plate with the Aquabats on it anyway?
Ricky: I would.
MCBC: Ok. But look- look at those kids out there. They’re all wearing Super Magic Power Man tee-shirts and stuff. Now that’s a real superhero. He can fly and shoot lasts out of his eyes. He has a good lookin’ wife. She’s got super powers too.
Ricky: Lanolin lady? Oh yeah. She’s hot
Kid: (playing a short distance away) Let’s go save the earth!
Crash: We have superpowers too. (He tries to intentionally grow large but fails.) Sometimes.
MCBC: Aw come on, Crash. Let’s face it. If we were such great heroes those kids would be wearing Aquabats tee-shirts and singing our songs.
Jimmy: Perhaps people just don’t know us like they know Super Magic Power Man. After all he has saved the earth from destruction many times.
Eaglebones: That’s true. If we saved the whole planet, then more people would definitely come see us play and-
MCBC: -and buy our limited edition collectors plates! That’s it! I know how we save our band. We have to save the earth or something! But how?
Radio voice: We interrupt this radio broadcast with a special news bulletin: A mysterious giant object has appeared over Chavos ravine. Authorities are not sure where it came from but it appears be threatening the city and quite possibly the world. Please avoid the downtown area.
MCBC: You hear that Aquabats? Something’s threatening to destroy the city!
Crash: And maybe the whole world.
Eaglebones: This could be our chance to make a difference and save the earth.
Ricky: What are we waiting for?
MCBC: Aquabats-
All: let’s go!
(MCBC stays behind and monologues to his image on one of the plates.)
MCBC: Hey buddy. This is what you’ve been waiting for. This is your shot at being recognized as a true hero. It’s showtime.
(Song Showtime!)
(The battletram drives toward sirens and commotion. Police have placed barricades behind which a crowd gathers.)
Eaglebones: We must be close to whatever the mysterious giant object is.
MCBC Right, this looks pretty out of control.
(They park the battletram.)
Jimmy: What is that!?
(Four figures in silver stand beneath a giant headless robot body. The Aquabats join the crowd.)
Plaid man with chainsaw: (to MCBC) On time as usual.
MCBC: (sounding annoyed) Catboy. Chainsaw.
Catboy: (blasé) Bat Commander.
Chainsaw: (scornful) Aquabats.
MCBC: You guys can take off now. We got this one.
Chainsaw: We were here first Commander!
Catboy: Yeah back off Aquabats.
Eaglebones: (breaking up the impending fight) Look we ALL need this win. Let’s just team up and work together.
(A little girl pushes past the barrier with a handful of flowers)
Crash: Little girl! NO!
Police Officer with megaphone: Little girl, please return to the police line. Please return to safety.
(A silver figure shoots her and grabs her.)
MCBC: Ah! No!
Officer: (To his men) Hold your fire- hold your fire. Hold your fire men! Nobody hurt that little girl!
FauxMercial: Need help ’cause you dance a little gooby? Pop ‘n shocker electrode suit!
MCBC: No!
Police: Hold your fire. Hold your fire!
MCBC: This it Aquabats!
Chain: Ahem…
MCBC: This is it Aquabats and friends.
Ricky: Look!
Police: It’s Super Magic Power Man!
Ricky: and Lanolin Lady!
Military Guy: We’re saved!
Chainsaw: That’s it Catboy. Let’s get out of here.
Catboy: Yeah this party’s over. (They leave)
(Super Magic Power Man and Lanolin Lady dodge lasers and shoot three of the silver figures as the crowd cheers. LL grabs the girl and SMPM shoots the last silver figure.)
SMPM: Good people of this mighty world; be ye not distressed. For I Super Magic Power Man,
LL: and I Lanolin Lady,
SMPM: will always be here-
Both: to protect the people and save the earth!
LL: Look honey she’s waking up.
SMPM: Ok, cameras are rolling. Just keep smiling and waving.
LL: No duh.
MCBC: Well that’s it Aquabats. We better go get real jobs.
(Ricky, still watching the other Supers, cheers)
Lanolin Lady: Hello there young lady.
Little girl: What happened? Where’s my mommy?
SMPM: Do not worry young one. You are safe little girl. I am Super Magic Power Man-
LL: and I Lanolin Lady-
SMPM: and we have saved you.
Little girl: Thank you Super Magic Power Man! How’d you do it?
SMPM: Well you see I have this magic headband. It gives me magic power and strength.
Little girl: Wow. A magic headband- can I try it on?
SMPM: Well- I really- …is your hair clean? I mean uh,
(She tries it on, trains it on them and it powers up.)
SMPM: Hey that’s not supposed to happen.
(She shoots first one then the other.)
Crash: Super Magic Power Man!
Ricky: And Lanolin Lady!
(The little girl transforms into a giant floaty white face.)
White face: Your puny superhumans are gone. Who will save you now? HahaHaha! Now that I have the Super Magic Power Amulet I am finally invincible.
(He moves to become the head on the giant robot body)
White face: Now tiny humans, witness the full power of your doom. For I am space monster M, and I come to destroy your world! (The people below shriek and panic) Run! Run, tiny people of earth!! You will run. But soon you will die!
(M laughs maniacally and shoots a few buildings with lasers)
MCBC: Aquabats this is it. Let’s go save the world!
Jimmy: Commander! That giant alien machine is far too powerful for us.
MCBC: No we can do it. We have to do it! We have to believe we can do anything!
Crash: But we could die!
MCBC: Yes Crash. We could die. Just like Super Magic Power Man. He gave his life to save us all. And so did-
Ricky: Lanolin Lady!
MCBC: Think of the kids Crash. No more Super Magic Power Man. He is gone. Children are crying right now. It’s so sad!
Crash: Getting emotional!
(He grows nearly the size of M and begins pummeling him and crying.)
MCBC: We have to get that super magic power band off that thing’s head. Ricky, get the battletram ready for a fast getaway.
Ricky: I’m on it!
MCBC: Robot, Eaglebones; keep him busy. Aim for his eyes.
Eaglebones: Commander where are you going?
MCBC: It’s showtime Eaglebones.
(Eaglebones shoots M with lasers. The shocks cause Crash to fly off M and nearly collide with the tram. Jimmy adds his lasers to those from Eaglebones’ guitar.)
MCBC: Crash! Pick me up! Throw me at his face!
Crash: What?
MCBC: Throw me right at his face!
(Crash smiles and does)
M: Ahh! My eye!
MCBC: A cartoon?
Narrator: Last time the Aquabats crash-landed on the planet of the Narbarians and saved their king and queen. The Narbarians threw the ‘bats a party that may never end.
Jimmy: Commander! This dagger has special properties. We could get back home by using this magic dagger. (Uses a megaphone) Can you hear me ok?
Narrator: Eesh that hurts!
MCBC: Jimmy cool down baby. Relax, we’re partying. No rush bud.
Narrator: No time to chill Commander- giant ganglewolves! There’s too many of them.
Barbarian Man: Oh man I hate these giant ugly wolves AND their daily attacks.
MCBC: Hungry wolves? Daily attacks?
Other Barbarian Man: Every day even. Sometimes on the hour.
MCBC: Well we have remedy for that. It’s called guys get back in vehicle and don’t make a big deal about it.
Narrator: Jimmy uses the dagger and the battletram rockets away. But where has the dagger taken them?
Crash: What the- It’s the Time Sprinkler!
Time Sprinkler: Hellooo Aquabats. This dimension is under my control and so are you.
MCBC: Uh oh.
Time Sprinkler: I’m sticking you into a time loop. You will be stuck reliving the last year of your life over and over again.
MCBC: Yeah right!
Time Sprinkler: Have fun!
(The Aquabats appear at a nighttime birthday party- the same one from the beginning of the live action season opener!)
MCBC: We come to your party, we play nonstop. We play our loud music, until your ears pop-
Eaglebones: Hey- we’ve been here before!
Narrator: Are the Aquabats really stuck in a time loop, doomed to repeat the same adventures over and over again? Tune in next time to find out. Tune in next time to- AHH! It’s happening to me! Somebody help!
(M pulls the Bat Commander from his eye. Crash picks up and throws Jimmy at the back of M’s head)
M: Did you fools think you could stop me?
MCBC: (struggling) No. But, you’re ugly!
(As they banter, Jimmy slowly lasers through the band holding M’s amulet to his head.)
M: Prepare to die, tiny human!
(M startles as the amulet falls from his head. He drops MCBC. Jimmy falls also.)
M: My amulet! That have you done?
Eaglebones: I summon THE DUDE!! Fly dude fly! (Dude picks up the amulet)
M: NO!
Eaglebones: Good work dude!
Crash: Hey! (He knocks M over with a punch, then kicks the fallen M in the chest) This is for Super Magic Power Man! And this is for Lanolin Lady!
M: (protesting) I don’t know who you’re talking about!
Jimmy: Ricky, we’re heading your way. We’ve gotta get out of here.
Crash: And this, is for the children!!!
M: (spluttering) children? I didn’t hurt…
(After one last kick, Crash pauses, giving M time to get to his feet. Space Monster M’s red glaring eyes frighten Crash who shrinks)
M: Run away weak man. Where are you going?
(They all rush to the battletram as Eaglebones covers with laser fire. M reaches for the tram and lifts it to his eye level.)
M: I can see you! You puny human worms. Return the power band to me now!
MCBC: He wants the power band back? Ok! Robot, help me up to the bubble.
M: Oh. Yesss puny humans. Return to me what is rightfully mine.
MCBC: Here ya go porky! (He shoots Space Monster M with the amulet)
M: No!
(Space monster M starts to short, crackling with electricity. He throws the battletram, just before exploding himself. The g force knocks all the Aquabats out cold and they drift in space inside the battletram, just as we see them at the beginning of the first episode’s cartoon segment.)
Narrators voice: Now with the Aquabats hurled into outer space, who will be the protectors of earth? Are we truly and forever rid of Space Monster M? Will the Aquabats survive the vacuum of space? More action and adventure to come in the continuing stories of the Aquabats Supershow!
