It hovers over the city, and then moves on, on in the direction of Amos's swamp. The single being inside is Durcon, a dark blue skined humanoid wearing strange looking battle armor. DURCON (looking at his controls): I know I am near the one, the supreme wizard of all the galaxy! I defeat him and this entire solar system will be mine for the taking! Meanwhile, in the back yard near his house, Amos Doggie and Hannah are having a cookout with their friends Otto, Samantha Maddog, Misty Maddog and Amanda DeSalle. Misty and Amanda have brought out a boom box and are playing the latest Brittney Spears CD. AMOS (confused): Hey! What be dat kind of music you play on duh radio? MISTY (smiles): Oh Uncle Amos, it's Brittney Spears! AMOS (confused): What do spears have do to wit music? AMANDA (smiles): No no Amos, this is called soft rock! AMOS (confused): Amos never be clonked wit a soft rock before! Day be all hard to me! MISTY (giggles): Oh Uncle Amos, you're SO funny! AMOS (shocked): What be so funny about Amos? AMANDA (smiles): That's a compliment, sir! AMOS (nods): Oh, I gits it now! Tank you, Misty! HANNAH (looking at steaks on the grill): Oh dear, the charcoal's gone out again! At this rate, I'll never get these steaks cooked properly! OTTO (smiles): Allow me to assist you, Hannah! SAMANTHA (shocked): Honey, are you going to do what I think you're going to do? OTTO (nods): I believe your perception is correct, Samantha! Otto shoots laser beams out of his eyes right at all of the steaks. Within seconds, they are all burnt to a crisp. SAMANTHA (sadly): Oh NO! Dinner is ruined! Otto, your eye lasers are just too powerful! OTTO (sternly): This is not the outcome I anticipated, my apologies, Hannah. HANNAH (sadly): So much for our steaks. (smiles): But I do have several packs of hot dogs in the freezer! As Hannah runs back inside the house, Amos walks over to the grill AMOS (sniffs): OH YEAH!! My kind of cookin'! Blackened Cajun style steaks! SAMANTHA (smiles): Help yourself, Mr Amos, sir! AMOS (puts several steaks on a plate): Now DIS be good food! (takes a bite of one): Extra crispy, too! OTTO (shakes head): Those steaks are not fit for consumption by humans AMOS (smiles): Good ting I be not human, yes? As Amos quickly eats the burnt steaks, Hannah emerges with the hot dogs in hand. She sees Amos eating, the crunching noises he makes echo around the entire area. HANNAH (shakes head): Amos, Darling, those steaks are burnt! AMOS (nods, talks with mouth full): And I tank you for it! Suddenly, Woody the barn owl flies down and lands on Amos's shoulder and begins to chirp repeatedly. This causes Amos to stand up and drop his steak. HANNAH (shocked); Amos! What's wrong? AMOS (points): Woody say dere be some intruder in MY swamp! SAMANTHA (calmly): Uncle Amos, sir, maybe it's just someone who got lost. AMANDA (points to the sky): I don't think so! Hovering above them is Durcon's ship. Suddenly, in a bright shimmer of light, Durcon appears with a silver device in his hand that looks like a Gameboy, he points it at Amos and the device flashs and makes wild noises. DURCON (grins): So, YOU are the one, canine creature! AMOS (confused): I be duh one... what? DURCON (points): Are you the one who destroyed the Dora? AMOS (nods): I did! I be Amos Doggie and ... DURCON (laughs): So, Amos Doggie, you sure don't look like much of a wizard! Only a powerful warlock could vanquish the power of the Dora! I am Durcon, the mighty! AMOS (laughs): Wiat, friend, you have not the story right, you see ... DURCON (angry): Don't deny it, wizard! You are the one I seek! I've come to conquer this region of space, you can either join me, or become my slave! AMOS (shakes head): Amos be not wanting dat! All me needs is me hammock, me woman and me pot of crawdad bisque! DURCON (thinking): So! That's the secret to his great powers! (outloud) Since you refuse to join me, we shall battle, my magic against yours! (points to the others): They will be coming with us! If you lose, all of you will become my slaves! Durcon motions with his hands and all of them are immediately transported to a flat wilderness field in central Kansas. Durcon stands on the far end of the field, Amos and his friends on the other. AMOS (turns to Otto): What do Amos do? I know not any magic! OTTO (sternly): Remain calm, Amos. Let's see what Durcon does next. DURCON (shouting): Here is my first magical challenge! The last time I was on your world, the beings here enjoyed a sport called jousting! Now, Amos Doggie, produce a horse and we shall joust! Durcon waves his fingers and instantly, a black stallion appears, which he then mounts. AMOS (looks at Otto): I not can make a horse! OTTO (smiles): I can! Waves your arms in the air and I'll take care of the rest. Amos waves his arms in the air, immediately, Otto activates his teleportation circuitry and with a loud BOOM!!!! Starlight, saddled and in her pure horse form appears. As the startled white horse looks at Amos, Otto sends her a quick electronic message explaining the situation. Starlight walks over the a nervous Amos Doggie. STARLIGHT (smiles): Climb aboard and hold on tight Amos, I'll take care of the rest! Amos slowly climbs aboard Starlight as Otto teleports a long lance into his hands. DURCON (nods): Impressive looking steed, Amos Doggie, NOW WE JOUST! STARLIGHT (shouts): Point that lance straight and hold on tight! Here we go! At first, Starlight gallops at a pace matching Durcon's oncoming horse. Suddenly, she turns on her force field and her lightning speed, knocking Durcon off of his horse and into the air where he lands under an apple tree. STARLIGHT (shouts): YES!!! Take that, alien bad guy! Durcon slowly stands up. DURCON (shouts): SO! You are truly a worthy foe! Now, let's see how you do against Gregur! Durcon gestures with his hand and magicly produces a huge, forty foot giant with one eye and a club in it's hand. Amos once more turns to Otto. AMOS (nervous): NOW what do I do, Otto? OTTO (grins): Wave your arms in the air again, I've got another idea! Amos waves his arms, another loud BOOM!!!! shakes the field, Prairie Rose appears in her Road Rover silvery uniform. PRAIRIE ROSE (confused): What am I doing here? (turns and sees the giant): Never mind, I see why I'm here now! DURCON (laughs. points): HEY AMOS!! Is that some sort of a joke? Sending a puny female up against Gregur? PRAIRIE ROSE (shouts): Who are you calling puny, blue boy? Immediately, Prairie Rose 'grows' to over fifty feet tall and runs over to Gregur. Gregur swings his club at her, she catches the club with one hand and punches him in the face with the other hand. Gregur staggers. but then stands up and lunges at Prairie Rose. Thinking quickly, Prairie Rose jumps out of the way and laughs at Gregur when he falls into a grove of thorn bushes. The angry Gregur makes one last run at Prairie Rose, but she quickly give him a hard boot to the face and knocks him out cold. DURCON (shocked): NO!!! This can't be!!!! Gregur has never been beaten! PRAIRIE ROSE (booming voice): Never say never, jasper! Durcon makes Gregur and his black horse disappear. Prairie Rose returns to her normal size. DURCON (sternly): So, you think you've won! HERE IS MY GREATEST MAGICAL CREATION!! Durcon motions with both hands at a small tree lizard and it grows into a huge monsterous beast. DURCON (laughs): Try and top THIS, Amos Doggie! Amos glances at Otto who is nodding his head and smiling. AMOS (to himself): Dis be insane! Even Otto not can make huge creature! Relucently, Amos arms his arms, another BOOM!!!!!!!!! shakes the ground, this time a huge ten ton green brontosaurus appears. MISTY (points): WOW! A real dinosaur! HANNAH (scared): What is that? SAMANTHA (smiling): That's our old friend, the Computer Dinosaur! STARLIGHT (nods): Good thinking, Otto! AMANDA (scared): Will that thing eat us? SAMANTHA (shakes head): Don't worry, Miss Amanda, ma'am. The baerasaurus is a herbivore, he won't eat meat! AMOS (shocked): Be me old eyes playin' tricks on me? C DINOSAUR (stretches his long neck over to Otto): Hi y'all! What am I doing here? OTTO (points): Big guy, stop that monster! C DINOSAUR (looks over at the mutated lizard): Sounds easy enough! Be right back! DURCON (points): So! Your creature speaks! C DINOSAUR (running towards him): What did you want me to do, quack? The Dinosaur body slams Durcon's mutated lizard. The ground shakes as the Dinosaur pounces on top of the lizard again. DURCON (shouts): NO!!! NOT THIS TIME!!! Durcon waves his arms and the mutated lizard transforms into a T-Rex. DURCON (laughs): I'll fight a dinosaur WITH a dinosaur! The Computer Dinosaur stands upright and swings his huge front feet at the T-Rex, who lunges at CD with it's huge open mouth. C DINOSAUR (laughs): HEY LIZARD BOY! EVER HEARD OF LISTERINE? As the T-Rex moves towards him, CD swings his huge body around and trips him with his long tail. Once down on the ground, the Computer Dinosaur pounces on him with all his might. This happens several times until the T-Rex is barely able to move. MISTY (cheers): Way to go, Dino! HANNAH (shocked): He actually beat him! SAMANTHA (smiles): I knew he could do it all along! DURCON (furious): I'll have my revenge, Amos Doggie, by taking the three things you treasure the most! Durcon waves his arms and points! DURCON (laughs): Now I HAVE your hammack, all of your women, and your pot of crawdad bisque! Once a drink this brew of yours, I'll be even stronger than you are! The hammack is tied between two trees, with Hannah, Misty, Amanda and Samantha bound by ropes inside of it. HANNAH (screaming): AMOS!! HELP US!!! AMOS (furious): NOW YE BE MAKIN' ME MAD!!!! Before Otto or Starlight can take any action, Amos Doggie waves his arms over his head and suddenly huge bolts of lightning fall from the sky and strikes Durcon. As Amos begins to glow brightly, he motions with his bionic arm and instantly teleports Hannah, Misty, Amanda and Samantha back to where Otto and Starlight are standing. Amos begins to float off of the ground. He forms several fireballs in his hands and throws them it at Durcon. DURCON (running): I can't believe this! This wizard cannot be beaten! He's just too powerful! Durcon floats into the air and into his hovering spaceship and flies away. Amos floats back down to the ground and stops glowing. Hannah runs out and hugs her husband. HANNAH (excited): You saved us! That was great! AMOS (points): Not be tanking Amos, Otto and Starlight do all dis! OTTO (shakes head): That is incorrect, I did nothing after I brought the Computer Dinosaur here! STARLIGHT (shakes head): Don't look at me! I don't have the ability to do all of that! MISTY (pets CD's head): WOW!! A real dinosaur! This is SO COOL!!! C DINOSAUR (smiles): So, you're Ben's youngest daughter! MISTY (shocked): YOU know my father? C DINOSAUR (big grin): Yep! He and I go way back together! Y'know, he's defended me in court a few times! AMANDA (shocked): All this is just TOO MUCH!!!! AMOS (nods): Me agree! (shakes head): But.... how did Amos do all dat? OTTO (sternly): Perhaps there is some truth in what Durcon stated. Maybe by crushing the Dora amulette in your hand, you've absorbed it's powers! SAMANTHA (scared): OH NO!!! STARLIGHT (smiles): Relax Sam, remember, the Dora only magnifies evil, selfish thoughts. Amos Doggie has none of those! AMOS (nods): YEP! (hugs Hannah): Amos wanted to save his friends and his woman! HANNAH (smiles): Well, once again Amos Doggie, you never cease to amaze me! Hannah hugs Amos tightly. The scene now shifts back to Amos's swamp one hour later. Hannah is grilling hot dogs, Misty and Amanda are taking a ride on the Computer Dinosaur's back, Starlight is now in her horse-sapien form as Otto and Amos have a private discussion. OTTO (sternly); Amos, today you're discovered new magical powers you have within you. You must learn to master these new abilities before attempting to use them, do you understand? AMOS (nods): Amos understand, but I have learned ONE bit of magic that'll come in handy! Amos waves his arms in the air, and instantly, a huge black pot over a roaring fire appears. AMOS (excited): CRAWDAD BISQUE!!! OTTO (rolls eyes): What a surprise... ------------------------------------------------------------------------
