Arriving in their luges are Alethia, Cobber, Hunter, Colleen, Blitz, Exile and Shag, who immediately run into the transdogmafier chambers and emerge as Cano-Sapiens. Dervish, Dawn, Huntress and Dylan are already seated in the briefing room while DJ and Molly Maddog come running from the motor pool. A loud BOOM!!! is heard near the luges, it's Otto and Samantha Maddog, who then walk into the transdogmafier and then walk into the briefing room. The Master begins to address the Rovers on their latest mission. MASTER (shouts): Rovers! We have a crisis in the Pacific Northwestern portion of the United States. There has been a rash of thiefs from both businesses and homeowners in an area just north of Eugene. Many of the victims claim that Bigfoot monsters have been scaring them away, they return to find their home or business ransacked. I believe that General Parvo is connected to this somehow. ALETHIA (nods): That sounds like something he would do! OTTO (stands up): There is no hard evidence of the existance of sasquash, therefore it is logical to assume that these crimes must've been perpetrated by a third party. BLITZ (smirks): Tell us in English, computer boy! SAMANTHA (growls): You know I hate it when you call my husband that, Blitz! HUNTRESS (puts hand on Blitz's shoulder): Take it easy, honey, OK? OTTO (turns to Blitz): In other words, I am in complete agreement with the Master's analysis of the situation. Parvo must be behind these random acts of burglery. BLITZ (shakes head): Huh? SHAG (smiles): Ruh ruh ruh, RUH! SAMANTHA (smiles): See, even Shag understands, Blitz, sir. DJ (whispers to Molly): Think we'll have to draw Blitz a map, won't we? Molly and DJ laugh together. HUNTER (giggles): Hey, I wonder if the National Enquirer is covering this! COLLEEN (smiles): No, Huntie-Wuntie, they're too bloomin' busy dissin' the Royal Family! EXILE (growls): I say we crush Parvo's plan, NOW! DYLAN (smiles): I'm with you, Exile! DAWN (happy): Hey, Master. will we get to meet any lumberjacks? MASTER (shakes head): I don't know, Dawn. Road Rovers, begin you're mission at the sheriff's office in Duncan Flats, they will brief you on the current situation. HUNTER (salutes): You can count on us, sir! BLITZ (angry): I want to lead this mission! I want to bite Bigfoot buttocks! EXILE: Don't be a weird boy! OTTO (sternly): Hunter, I have the coordinates of the sheriff's office, shall I teleport all of us there? BLITZ (angry): Mr Microchip is always such a show off! SAMANTHA (growls): STOP MAKING FUN OF MY HUSBAND, OR ELSE! BLITZ (smirks): Or else, what, angry dog lady? SAMANTHA (growls): OR ELSE, THIS!!! Samantha kicks Blitz in the stomach, making him double over and fall to his knees HUNTRESS (growls): Sam, that was uncalled for! COLLEEN: I dunno, looks like old Blister bin asking for it! HUNTRESS (growls): And YOU can start calling him by his REAL name! COLLEEN (smirks): Oh yeah, right (turns to Blitz): Sorry about that, Mr Fluffypants! BLITZ (dizzy): Whatever..... HUNTER: Ok, Rovers, let's hit the Road! All of the Rovers howl in unison. Hunter decides to fly to Duncan Flats instead of teleport, so all of the Rovers along with Muzzle climb aboard a Sky Rover and take off. Upon landing at a nearby airstrip, the Rovers drive to Duncan Flats and enter the sheriff's office. It is very crowded and noisy, so many people came to file police reports that the Rovers could barely get inside the building. The sherrif, Clyde Drigson, spots the Rovers and motions for them to go around to the back entrance. He is there to meet them. CLYDE (look of relief): Road Rovers! I'm sure glad you're here! This whole town's gone crazy! HUNTER (smiles): Sheriff, we know about the rash of burgularies, do you or your deputies have any clues? CLYDE (shakes head): Not a one, Hunter, I wish we did! More robberies every day! You gotta help us! COLLEEN (smiles): Put your mind at ease, governor, we'll start investigating right away! CLYDE (smiles, shakes Hunter and Colleen's hands): Thank you so much, Rovers! If I can be of assistance, let me know! I have to go back in now and take more burgulary reports. Good luck! As the sheriff closes the back door, Hunter and Colleen turn around and face the other Rovers. COLLEEN: Well, Huntie-Wuntie, do you 'ave a plan? HUNTER: Nope, but I'm thinking really hard! COLLEEN (smiles): I have an idea! We need to search this entire area for any signs of this Bigfoot thing. We'll make better time if we all split up and fan out! HUNTER (smiles): HEY! I have an idea! We'll divide into small groups and search the area! Clever, aren't I? COLLEEN (sadly): How original..... HUNTER (smiles): Hey, thanks! OK, we'll split into four teams. I'll go north with Colleen, Blitz and Huntress. Alethia, you'll go due east with Exile, Shag and Dervish. Cobber, you'll go due west with Otto, Dylan and Sam. DJ, you and Dawn, Muzzle and Molly go south. Let's all stay in radio contact, Alethia, Cobber, DJ and I will be your team leaders. Ok Rovers, let's roll! DAWN (jumping): HOORAY!!! I get to go with Muzzle!! DJ (laughing): Down girl, down! Take it easy DAWN (happy): I want to push his gerne! I want ot push his gerne! MOLLY (smiles): Ok, the job's yours! Let's be on our way! BLITZ (mumbling to himself): Look at all of these collies! And I get stuck with the one that can't remember my name. COLLEEN (motions to Blitz): Come along Blint, don't want ya laggin' behind! Blitz growls as he follows Hunter, Huntress and Colleen. DJ and Molly watch Dawn behind them pushing Muzzle on his genre. Cobber checks his compass, points, and then leads Otto, Sam and Dylan down a hiking path. Alethia motions from Shag to catch up, he is sitting on a tree stump eating a hero sandwich. The scene switches to Cobber's group. They've gone about a mile down the trail and so far have seen nothing unusual. OTTO (looking around): My sensors are registering normal forest life activity. Wait, I detect a large group of humans approxiamately five hundred meters ahead of us. They seem to possess small mechanized lumbering devices. DYLAN (confused): Mechanized what? COBBER (smiling): Otto, can't ya just say chain saw? OTTO (confused): I just did! SAMANTHA (smiles): I'll explain it to you later, honey! The four Rovers are standing on a rise overlooking a small scale logging operation. There are several large log trucks, two bulldozers, and around twelve men with chain saws. DYLAN (looking through binoculars): I don't see anything that looks like Bigfoot, it's just a normal looking logging camp to me! OTTO (sternly): Scanning..... this area is within the bounds of a national forest, there should not be any logging going on here! SAMANTHA (shocked): Oh NO! What should we do, Cobber? COBBER (thinking): Well, we have a mission, but at the same time, we can't let these bloaks get away with this now, can we? OTTO (looks at Cobber): Are you suggesting that we attempt to arrest all of these people? That would not be wise DYLAN (growls): Hey, we can take'm! COBBER (growls): Dylan's right! We can stop them ourselves! OTTO (looks at Dylan): May I respectfully purpose an alternative course of action? COBBER (smiles): I like that look in your eye, mate! What are you suggesting? OTTO (whispering): A way to stop the logging without anyone getting hurt! I'll teleport a friend of mine here! SAMANTHA (shakes head): Not the Computer Gila Monster! He'd try to beat everyone up! OTTO (giggles): Not him, but our OTHER reptile friend... SAMANTHA (shocked): You mean..... the big guy? OTTO (smiles): Precisely! DYLAN (confused): Who are you talking about? OTTO (points): Just watch, I'll put him right over there! A loud BOOM!! is hear about a quarter mile away from the logging camp, which the loggers chose to ignore. Soon, the ground begins to shake a little, and an all too familiar figure peeks through a grove of trees. It's a friend of Otto and Sam's, the Computer Dinosaur! He's a huge, green. ten-ton brontosaurus who is slowly moving towards the logging camp. He lets out a mighty roar to announce his arrival. C DINOSAUR (booming voice): RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR! Y'all! COBBER (confused): Roar, y'all? SAMANTHA (smiles): He has a Southern accent! DYLAN (shakes head): Oh brother... The sight of the huge dinosaur frightens everyone in the logging camp, they all flee quickly leaving their equipment behind. OTTO (laughs): See, what did I tell you! DYLAN (giggles): He sure can clear a room! The Computer Dinosaur swings his long neck over in Otto's direction, scaring Dylan and Cobber. C DINOSAUR (smiles): Otto, Samantha! It's good to see y'all again! Would you introduce me to your friends, please? OTTO (smiles): Certainly, CD! (points) This is Dylan and that is Cobber, guys, says hello to the Computer Dinosaur! DYLAN (shaking): Hi! COBBER (shaking): Otto, that bloomin' lizard won't eat us, will it? C DINOSAUR (laughs): Y'all ain't got nothin to be scared of! I'm a Baerasaurus, a herbivore! I'll eat trees but not meat, OK? DYLAN (relieved): Whoa! That's a relief! COBBER (smiles): I'm glad this bloak's on our side! C DINOSAUR (smiles): Otto, are you going to send me back to my cave now? OTTO: Well, what to you want to do? C DINOSAUR: I like it here! May I stay and have dinner? OTTO (smiles): Be my guest, big guy! SAMANTHA (smiles): It's good to see yoy again, Mr Dinosaur, sir! C DINOSAUR (smiles): It's been a pleasure seeing you again and to meet your friends! Bye Cobber! Bye Dylan! The huge dinosaur turned around and began to look for something to eat. As Cobber, Dylan, Otto and Samantha return to the footpath, they all hear the loud noise of metal crumpling. OTTO (shakes head): That sounds like one log truck being chewed up! COBBER & DYLAN (together): YUCK!!!!!!! The scene now shifts to DJ's team. As they continue traveling east, they find themselves standing in front of a small group of protestors. They are holding up picket signs reading 'Save the spotted owl, stop logging' and 'End animal exploitation.' Their leader, a lady named April Antwep, is holding a bullhorn and rallying her 'troops' to the cause. APRIL (thru bullhorn): We'll shut down all logging! We must stand up to save our animal friends! (points) Look over there! Look at how we cruel humans have exploited those dogs! Bring them up here to the stage! Some of the picketers drop their signs and grab DJ, Molly and Dawn by the arms and lead them towards the stage. Muzzle jumps up and down on his gerne, but one of the picketers wheels him onto the stage with the others. DJ (struggling): Hey! What are you people doing? MOLLY (struggling): Let us go! DAWN (struggling): Are you folks crazy? APRIL (frowning): You poor misguided doggies! We are friends to all dumb animals like you, and today is your day of liberation! The crowd cheers and April pets DJ and Molly on the head. APRIL (thru bullhorn): No more serving mean masters that make you wear human clothes and make you fight their battles for them! Now you four will become free! Free to wonder in the forest and fend for yourselves like nature intended you to! DJ (struggling): You're crazy! Let us go! We have a mission! MOLLY (growling): I'm an attorney, unhand all of us or I'll sue all of you! DAWN (looks at Molly): Does that line really work, Molly? MOLLY (nods): Usually it does on humans! APRIL (thru bullhorn): Poor little collie is delerious! Soon all of you will be free, first we'll let this poor rottweiler loose! DJ (scared): I wouldn't do that if I were you! MOLLY (angry): You'll be sorry! DAWN (growls): Leave my boyfriend alone, you witch! April and two of her followers remove Muzzle's straps. Muzzle pounces on all of them, growling and snarling. This scatters the crowd, they run away wildly in all directions as Muzzle attacks April and the others on stage. DAWN (cheering): Go Muzzle! Get'em get'em! DJ (looks at Dawn): DAWN!!! Don't encourage him! MOLLY (turns head away): Ewwwwwwwwwww! That looks painful! DJ (shouts): DAWN!! CALL HIM OFF!! DAWN (mad): Oh, alright! (shouts) Here Muzzle! Here boy! Muzzle runs to Dawn, who hugs him gently and puts him back on his gerne. DJ and Molly stare at April Antwep as she lay on her back, all roughed up. APRIL (blank look on her face): I love animals.... really I do..... MOLLY (growls): Serves you right, and just wait till I get home! I'll sue you and your entire organization! DJ (takes her by the arm): Molly, we have to go now. C'mon! Molly and DJ's eyes meet, they each smile at each other. DAWN (wheels Muzzle forward): Let's go guys! We gotta find bigfoot! The scene switches to Alethia's group, who have stumbled unto a scary looking cave. ALETHIA (points): I wonder if that cave could be a hiding place for Parvo's new base? DERVISH (smiles): We could always send one of us inside! EXILE (shakes fist in the air): Da! I volunteer! SHAG (shakes head): Ruh ruh ruh runch ruh ruh? ALETHIA (looks at Shag): No, Shag, we're not going to take a lunch break! We have to figure out the ..... (points) Something's coming out of there! DERVISH (points): I see it too, look! Exile, what can you make of this? EXILE (using enhanced vision): Something be not rightski! That bigfoot is not the real Mc Donald, is fake as five dollar bill! ALETHIA (surprised): A fake! Bet that's one of Parvo's cano-mutants dressed up in a costume. We've found the base, time to contact the others DERVISH (points upward): There may not be time for that, we have some unexpected guests.... Suddenly, Alethia, Exile, Dervish and Shag find themselves surrounded by bigfoot looking creatures. They take all of their weapons and lead them inside the cave. ------------------------------------------------------ to be continued...
