DJ is a creation of Jake Williams, Alethia is a creation of Kylen Miles, Dawn is a creation of Dianne L. Collie Squadron -- "Cold Storage" The scene is Road Rover Headquarters. The Collie Squadron is all transdogmafied and ready for action. Ben Maddog is in the Mission Control center with the Master, Uncle Buford, Otto and Samantha. The other "Maddogs" are roaming the halls of RR Headquarters. Roger is over at the transdogmafier panel with Dawn discussing how the machine operates. Vicki, Molly, Linda and Abby are all walking around in the motor pool. ABBY (bubbly): Here we are at Road Rover Headquarters! Can you gals believe it? VICKI (happy): Yes, it's overwhelming! MOLLY (smiling): Just look at all those vehicles! LINDA (giggling): Did you see all of those cute guys? ABBY (pointing at Molly): Leave it to little Miss Fix It to notice cars and planes instead of cute guys! VICKI (smiling): Isn't Hunter just dreamy? LINDA (smiling): He sure is! ABBY (frowning): I think Colleen's already taken him! LINDA (giggling): How about Blitz? I LOVE foreign guys! ABBY (smiling): He's SO CUTE!!! VICKI (frowning): I'm pretty sure Huntress has claimed him! LINDA (frowning): Oh yeah, right.... MOLLY (smiling): How about DJ? He's quite a handsome .... ABBY (surprised): DJ? Are you for real? VICKI (surprised): That German Shepard is just a mechanic LINDA (sarcasticly): A real grease monkey! MOLLY (angry): That's not a very nice thing to say ..... LINDA (sobby): He's a common laborer, with no special skills! ABBY (grabs Molly by the shoulder): Have you forgotten who you are? You're the daughter of Ben Maddog! VICKI (angry): Yeah, we're high society women! MOLLY (angry): Is that why all of us teased Samantha so much when she was dating Otto? LINDA (angry): That's different, Otto was a celebrity! Celebrities are always good husband material! ABBY (giggling): Even if there is a mess of wires and computer chips inside of him! VICKI (laughing): Better not let Sam hear you say that! MOLLY (sad): I can't believe you gals could say such things about DJ, none of us have even had a cup of coffee with him and ... LINDA (pointing at Molly): Look, Molly, I have an idea! You can stay here and see if one of these vehicles will take you out to dinner, the rest of us will go find some heroes to talk to! VICKI (walking away): Yeah, we'll find some high class Cano-Sapiens! LINDA (smiling): Maybe a foreign guy! Tootles, Molly! Linda, Vicki and Abby walk through the exit of the motor pool. Molly is almost in tears, very shocked at her sister's opinion of DJ. She sits down on the running board of a Street Rover vehicle with her head in her hands, talking outloud to herself. MOLLY: I can't believe my sisters! I just glad that DJ wasn't around here to hear all of this. I wonder how he would've reacted to all of those cruel comments .... VOICE FROM UNDERNEATH STREET ROVER: He'd probably not pay any attention to them! MOLLY: That's right! But what if ... (realizes that she heard a strange voice) Oh my, who's here? DJ rolls out from underneath the Street Rover, he's lying on his back on a wheeled skidder. Molly sees DJ and nearly faints. MOLLY (shocked, stuttering): DJ!! Hi ..... er.......... er ........... ah .............maybe I better be going.... DJ (stands up): Wait, Molly! Please don't leave, I'm not upset, really! MOLLY (nearly in tears): Really? My sisters said many mean things about you...... I'm so sorry..... DJ (walks over to Molly): Molly, I'm a truck driver's dog, I've heard insults a lot worse than those MOLLY (wipes tears from her eyes): Are your feelings hurt, DJ? DJ (smiles): Not really, besides, I know YOU were here to take up for me, thank you! Do you really think I'm cute? MOLLY (giggles): Well, I do think you are very handsome! DJ (smiles): Thank you! Now, I also heard you say that you admired all of these vehicles! How would you like to have a look under the Street Rover? MOLLY (excited): Sounds great! May I assist you in your repairs? DJ (grins): I thought you were an attorney, not a 'grease monkey'! MOLLY (smiles): I must confess, auto repair is sort of a hobby of mine. Of course, it's not easy fixing things with front paws instead of hands.. DJ (laughs): I needed a good laugh right now, Molly! Thank you, now, I'll get a spare skidder and I'll meet you under the Street Rover! MOLLY (happy): I looking forward to it! Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the Mission Control room. MASTER: Uncle Buford, how is the training coming with the Maddog children? UNCLE BUFORD: Well, so far all of them seem to have control over their new powers. I'm having a little problem teaching them how to use the special collar devices that I've made them. BEN (laughing): I'll say! When Linda tried to teleport to New York City, she ended up in New Delhi, India! And remember when Roger tried to transport a filing cabinet from one end of the cavern to the other? It materialized upside-down on the outdoor patio! OTTO (smiling): Well, Sam and I are working with them,.Master. They'll learn, in time. SAMANTHA (smiling): Yes, Master, sir. My sisters and brother are very intelligent, I know they will get it right! MASTER (smiling): You've all done well! And I am very impressed that you have Collie Squadron Headquarters up and running already! BEN (smiling): You can thank all of my kids for that! Molly and Otto did the wiring, and the rest of us cleared out the entire area! MASTER: Well, I'll have to come and inspect the new facility sometime, and ...... An alarm sounds, all the Rovers run into the Mission Control room as the Master turns to his computer console. MASTER (turns towards them): Rovers! We have a priority distress call from Antartica! DAWN: Antartica? Now that IS KEWL! MASTER: There seems to be some sort of unnatural earth tremmors in the South Pole area, near the US base there OTTO: This is correct, Master, there is no sizmic activity in that region. Whatever is happening seems to be 'man made' ALETHIA: Man made? Can you be more specific? OTTO: Seems to be some sort of explosions near the base. Explosions that must've been set off by man. MASTER: Rovers! Hunter and many of the other Rovers are out on another assignment, it's up to all of you to investigate and assist the soldiers at the South Pole base! Where are DJ and Molly? DJ and Molly come running into the room, covered in dirt and grease. DJ: Sorry, Master. Molly and I were repairing the Street Rover, we came as soon as we could! MASTER: We'll need all of you on this mission. Otto, due to your experience in rescue operations, you'll be in charge! Uncle Buford and I will stay here. UNCLE BUFORD: Otto, I suggest you take Maxx with you. He was built to function under all temperature extremes, OK? OTTO: Yes, sir! I've downloaded his command protocols! MASTER: Teleport to the base first, Rovers, see if any of the assigned personnel can help you! OTTO: Right, Master! (turns to the others) Are we all here and ready to go? ABBY (frowning): wait a minute, isn't it very cold at the South Pole? VICKI (mocking); Duh? Of course it is! Why do you think it's called the South Pole for? LINDA: We better get some fur parkas and some snowshoes! MASTER: Hurry Rovers! The distress call said the need was urgent! OTTO: Right! Gather around everyone! Abby, Molly, Dawn, DJ, Vicki, Linda, Roger, Ben, Maxx, Samantha and Alethia all gather around Otto, and with a loud BOOM!!! they arrive in the mess hall of the US base. Their sudden appearance frightens all of the personnel seated, and some reach for their rifles. BEN (shouting and waving hands in the air): Whoa, wait a minute y'all! We're Road Rovers and we're here to help you! The soldiers lowered their weapons, and the base commander Col. Sharps steps forward. COL. SHARPS: Thanks goodness you're here! I'm Col. Sharps, commanding officer of the base. The tremors are increasing in intensity, and the explosions sound like they are getting closer to our base! ALETHIA (looking through a window): Can't see anything! There's a blizzard outside! OTTO (looking down at Maxx): We'll send Maxx outside to have a look around, he's equipped for winter travel DJ (smiling): I gotta see this! OTTO (shouting): Maxx, winter travel mode! Everyone watches as Maxx transforms, his legs retract, replaced by tank track style wheels. His great dane body transforms into a turtle-like shell. DAWN (smiling): KEWL!! DJ (excited): WOW!!! That's great, Otto! I gotta ask Buford for the blueprints on this model! OTTO (opening door to let Maxx out): I'm linked to Maxx's data receptors, he'll follow the noises of the explosions to see what's making them! ABBY: Even if Maxx is all mechanical, won't his metal parts freeze solid in that aweful snowstorm? OTTO: No, Abby. Maxx has a heat shield inside the shell that he's wearing, he'll be fine! MOLLY (frowning): I sure hope so! Maxx journeys about a mile in the snow, constantly transmitting his findings to Otto. The other Rovers are getting restless. LINDA (sitting at a table sipping a cup of coffee): Wow, some exciting mission this is..... VICKI (playing with some drinking straws): Boring! SAMANTHA (frowning): C'mon sisters, please don't act like this! ABBY (throwing a paper airplane): Yeah, right! ROGER (looking out the window): I sure hope Maxx is alright. OTTO: So far, so good. Wait, I'm picking up an image, Col Sharps, may I send my video feed to your monitor? COL. SHARPS: Certainly, Otto, proceed! Everyone gathers around the desktop monitor in the kitchen area, and see two humans in winter clothes, handing red boxes marked "Explosives" to large, robotic 'drones' that use their huge hands to toss the boxes far into a nearby revene, where they explode. OTTO: I can't get a scan on the humans, but Maxx has given me coordinates! I'm going to teleport them here! ALETHIA (reaches for her bazooka): I'm ready! Bring'em on! DAWN (looking at Alethia): Whoa, I think you're a little uptight there, sister! With a loud BOOM!!! Standing before the group are the two humans, who immediately remove their fur hoods and knit caps. OTTO (growling): It Doctor Divalia and her assistant Hanna Dolana! DAWN (smiling) KEWL, you know these guys? SAMANTHA (growling): Yeah! They tried to kill my husband and his master a few months ago! BEN: So, these are the ones! Let's all bite them! DJ (walking over to them): Ladies, why are you dropping explosives into that revene? DR DIVALIA (angry): Do you think I'd tell YOU, you ugly mutt? HANNA DOLANA (angry): Why can't you dumb dogs just mind your own business? OTTO (growling): I've downloaded some current data, seems that these two escaped from prison last week. DR DIVALIA (shouting): That's right, dog breath! And even though you have us captured, our work continues! HANNA DOLANA (shouiting): Yes! Soon we'll have the means to stop all of you! OTTO (distressed): Maxx has scanned the revene area, there's seems to be some sort of frozen creature underneath the ice! Looks like a dinosaur perhaps! ALETHIA: So that's why you two are dynamiting there, you want to set it free, don't you? DR DIVALIA (laughing): No, it's long dead, but with it's DNA patterns recorded, we'll make REAL dinosaurs and conquer the world! ABBY (laughing): You two sure sound confident, but you can't do a thing now! We have you in custody! HANNA (chuckling): That's what you think, Lassie! OTTO (shakes his head): Something's wrong! I've lost Maxx's transmission! SAMANTHA (pointing at Hanna): Look! She has something up her sleeve! Linda and Vicki grab each of Hanna's arms as Dawn takes a black remote control device from one of her sleeves. DAWN (holding the device): Here's the trouble right here! OTTO (shouting): She's called those robots, they're headed this way! As Otto spoke, the two robots crash through the walls of the mess hall, one of them holding Maxx in his huge hand. DR DIVALIA (pointing): NOW MY CREATURES, DESTROY THOSE DOGS!!! BEN (shouting): Collie Squadron! Attack! Molly keeps the robots occupied by running around in circles in front of them as Vicki flys overhead and grabs Maxx out of the robot's hand. Alethia and DJ fire their bazookas at them, but the shots bounce right off one of their steel plated chests. Roger runs up to one of them and as he swings his fist at it, bounces off the robot's strong force field. DR DIVALIA (laughing): See, you miserable mongrels! My robots are unstoppable! They'll crush you all and then we can go back to work! BEN (stouting): Abby, get airborn, burn their optical circuits out! We'll do the rest! ABBY (shouting): Right, DAD!! Abby turns herself into a burning torch, lifts off the ground, and fires flames into the 'faces' of the two robots. As she is doing this, Ben lifts up both of his hands and fires lightning bolts out of them towards the robots, disabling their force fields. Then, Otto and Roger run towards them and knocks them down with rolling tackles. The impact on the floor breaks the robots into large pieces. DR DIVALIA (shocked): I don't believe it! Hanna, let's get out of here! Dr Divalia and Hanna run for the nearest exit, but are met there by Samantha and Dawn. SAMANTHA (growling): Where to you think you're going? DAWN (angry): Who said you two clowns could leave? DR DIVALIA (running towards them): OUT OF OUR WAY, DOGGIES! Samantha closes her eyes and fires anti-gravity rays on the two villians, sending them upward. HANNA (panics): GET ME DOWN!!! I'M SCARED OF HEIGHTS!!! DAWN (giggles): I sure hope she doesn't hurl on us! BEN (smiling): Well, that wraps up the mystery, where's Maxx? DJ and Molly are on the other side of the room, repairing Maxx. DJ (smiling): I think we have him operational! MOLLY (smiling): Yes, try some commands on him, Otto! OTTO (staring at Maxx): Maxx, return to canine mode! Maxx quickly transforms back into a Great Dane. DAWN (smiling): KEWL!! ALETHIA: That is impressive, I must admit! COL. SPEARS: You Road Rovers certainly have lived up to your reputation! Thank you for all of your help! We do need to fix all of the damage done by these robots, but at least they'll be no more blasting! OTTO (smiling): Thank you Col, Spears, and we'll deliver the good doctor and her assistant to the authorities! COL. SPEARS: Thank you for all of your help, Road Rovers, and please, come and visit us! We have so few vistiors here! SAMANTHA (smiling): We'll do that, Col. Spears, sir! With a loud BOOM!!! they were all back at Mission Control, except for Otto, who took Dr Divalia and Hanna to the police. MASTER: You've done well, Rovers! You're good, good dogs! UNCLE BUFORD (notices Maxx): And Maxx is running better than ever! Thank you, DJ and Molly! DJ (smiling): It was a pleasure to work on him, sir! MOLLY: Yes, it really was! Abby, Vicki and Linda walk over to DJ and shake his hand ABBY (smiling): Nice work, DJ! VICKI (happy) : Good work! LINDA (grining): You're quite skilled, DJ! DJ (giggling): Not bad for a grease monkey, right ladies? That last remark left Abby, Vicki and Linda speechless. BEN (confused): What did you mean by that, DJ? DJ (smiles): It's a private joke, Ben! BEN (shouting aloud): To the power of the PACK!! All howl in unison. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
