Collie Squadron -- "How It All Began -- Part 2" Otto teleports himself and all of the Maddog family to Uncle Buford's home in the country. Looking all around, they all can see signs of a struggle. Smashed against a tree is what remains of Buford's robotic Great Dane Maxx. OTTO (running over to Maxx): MAXX!! Speak to us, who did this to you? Maxx remained motionless on the ground. Otto was able to download Maxx's memory core in seconds. OTTO: Maxx's log files indicate that he was taken by "abnormally large" dogs SAMANTHA: Must be Cano-Mutants! That means that that evil Parvo person is involved in this! BEN: What are you two talking about? ABBY: It's General Parvo, he's been the Road Rover's main enemy for years, I've seen him on TV OTTO: Maxx's log also states that Uncle Buford was taken about an hour ago, but that he doesn't have any of his black boxes with him VICKI: How will we know where he is if he doesn't have any of his devices? SAMANTHA: Doesn't Uncle Buford have an emergency signaler in his cane? OTTO (smiles): That's RIGHT, darling! I almost forgot about that, Sam! I'm tracing the signal now! Let's go! With a loud BOOM!!! they were all standing just outside of a fenced-in facility guarded by Cano-Mutants. OTTO (whispering): Ok, I'll make all of us invisible, and then zap us all inside the main building ABBY (whispering): I'm scared! VICKI (whispering); Me too! SAMANTHA (whispering): This is all a part of being a Road Rover, not as easy as he looks, is it? In a split second, Otto makes all of them invisible and teleports all of them inside the main building. They were in a very, large room where Cano-Mutants were guarding all the exits. Five people were lined up, at gunpoint, in front of General Parvo and Groomer. PARVO: Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you're wondering why I asked all of you here today.... UNCLE BUFORD (interrupting): You didn't ASK us here, you kidnapped all of us! PARVO (pointing): Quiet, old man! If I didn't need you right now, I'd let my guards finish you, so SHUT UP! Well, I need your knowledge. You see for years I've been battling the Road Rovers, and my Cano-Mutants have been defeated everytime! Now, with all of your bio-technical skills, you'll help make my Cano-Mutants stronger, faster and able to defeat them once and for all! UNCLE BUFORD: What makes you think that any of us will help you at all? PARVO: Because, I have members of your families behind this curtain, Groomer, if you please .... Groomer pulls on a rope and the curtain opens, revealing a group of people in a large cage, among them is Uncle Buford's nephew and his wife, Nathan and Wanna Lovejoy SAMANTHA (whispering): They have our masters, darling! OTTO (whispering): Yes, but apparently they don't know who they REALLY are! BEN (whispering): You mean the Computer Renegade and the Masked Melitta? OTTO (whispering): That's right, now here's what we'll do. Molly, with your super speed, you run up behind the Groomer and close the curtain, that'll give me time to teleport all of the hostages away from here. Then, Vicki, fly over Parvo and Groomer and drop this huge dropcloth over them, Samantha that'll give you time to teleport Uncle Buford and the other scientists away so that the rest of us can attack them! We have to act quickly, that shot of invisibility that I hit all of us with will be wearing off soon. Let's do it! Molly speeds past the Groomer and closes the curtain, when Parvo and Groomer turn around to look at it, Vicki flys over them and drops the dropcloth on them. Otto and Samantha use their teleportation circuitry to zap all of the captives to safety. The Cano-Mutants begin shooting as all of them slowly become visible again. One Cano-Mutant runs towards Abby, but runs the other direction when she turns herself into a full length body torch. Two Cano-Mutants swing many punches at Linda, which pass right through her. Molly runs quickly by all of them and takes their weapons from them in a split second. Roger picks up one of the Cano-Mutants and throws it at the others, knocking them all down to the floor. In the confusion, Parvo and Groomer crawl out of the room on their knees. PARVO: What just happened in there? Why did all my prisoners vanish? And where did all of those collies come from? GROOMER: I don't know, my General, but at least we're going to escape! As Parvo and Groomer exit the room, they both look up and see Otto, Samantha and Ben looking down at them. OTTO: Leaving so soon, you two? SAMANTHA: We wouldn't dream of letting you leave! PARVO: Get out of our way, Road Rovers! Parvo and Groomer try to run past Ben, but when they both put their hands on him, he sends out a large electrical shock which knocks both them down to the floor. SAMANTHA (smiling): Nice work, dad! OTTO (happy): Looks like you're learning very quickly, Ben! BEN: Thanks, but I better not try to shake hands with anyone until I can control my voltage! OTTO: Good point, sir! The scene shifts to Road Rover Mission Control, one hour later. Otto, the Maddog family and Uncle Buford are in the briefing room talking to the Master. MASTER: Good job, Otto and Samantha! All of the scientists and their loved ones have been returned to their homes and General Parvo and Groomer are in custody. Ben Maddog, you and your children performed admirably in this mission, you have my heart-felt thanks! BEN: Thank you, Master, it was our pleasure to assist you! UNCLE BUFORD: Thank you all for the rescue! SAMANTHA (smiling): We could never let anything happen to you, Mr Buford, sir... MASTER: And I'm sorry about your dog Maxx. UNCLE BUFORD: It's alright, Master, I'll rebuild him, good thing he's all robot! MASTER: Yes, you are quite skilled at this sort of thing. In fact, Uncle Buford, I'm been doing some thinking. Ben Maddog and his childern make a very effective fighting force, I believe under your training, they can be even better! UNCLE BUFORD: Me, Master? MASTER: Yes, you, Uncle Buford! You'll be in charge of a new branch of Road Rovers, the Collie Squadron! We just need to find a good underground place to set up all of our equipment in. BEN: And you have it, Master! Underneath my estate is a huge cavern that was once used as part of the underground railroad in the Civil War era. It has plenty of room for things like transdogmafiers and other things like this. MASTER: Ben Maddog, at first you were very relunctant to become a Cano-Sapien, what made you change your mind? BEN: Master, I guess after all those years of fighting crime in the courtroom, I'd forgotten how important it is to fight crime where it's happening at first. It would be an honor to house the Collie Squadron at my estate! MASTER: Uncle Buford, will you agree to accept this new role? You must be willing to train and delegate authority, can you do this, sir? UNCLE BUFORD: Of course I would! (he turns to Ben and his children) And I'll make each of you a collar like I made for Samantha, this will give all of you even more special capabilities! ABBY (happy): This is like a dreeam come true! LINDA (excited): WOW!! We're actually going to be Road Rovers! MOLLY (bubbly): Do you know what this means, sisters? VICKI: No, what? MOLLY (beaming): It means we can drop in here from time to time and find dates! ROGER (shaking his head): Sisters, you've acting like puppies again, will any of you ever grow up? ABBY: Hey, Roger, all of us ladies are attorneys, who wouldn't want to date an attorney? BEN (smiling): Master, Uncle Buford, let's all start construction of our new facility at once! With my children's newly found abilities, we can be up and running in no time! MASTER (shakes Uncle Buford's hand): This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! OTTO (shouting): To the power of the pack! or should I say.... To the Power of the Collie Squadron! Everyone howls in unison. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
