The Space Rovers -- "The Lost Pack -- Part 2" Ultra and his 'lost pack' invite Persia and her officers to their village. Persia, Alexander, Boomer, Saundra, Whitey, Bruno, Molly, Sheena and Grunt gop with him, they sit down to a fabulous feast of tropical fruits and coconuts as Ultra tells them their story. ULTRA: A long time ago, I believe it was ten years ago, all of us were just ordinary canines living on Earth. That's when the aliens came, they were purple-looking beings who took us from our masters and into outer space. Aboard their ship, they used some sort of machine to change us all into what you call Cano-Sapiens. The process gave us all super intelliegence and great physical strength. Later, the aliens ship crashed on this planet, killing all of them and all but forty seven of us. For years, we all lived in this little village, trying to make a life for ourselves and hoping that one day, someone, ANYONE would come and rescue us so that we could once more return to Earth, and here you are! You not only have a space ship capable of taking us home, but you're also fellow canines! PERSIA: Ultra, we would be more than happy to take you and all of your pack back to Earth and reunite you all with your masters! ULTRA: Reunite? What are you talikng about? We all want REVENGE on the human race for their cruelity! ALEXANDER (shocked): Revenge? ULTRA (angry): Yes! All of us were mistreated by our evil masters! I was chained to a tree in the woods one day and left to die by my master! (Ultra points at a female Great Dane) Lady there was a police dog before she broke her leg and was sent to a shelter. (Points at a male Pit Bull) King was trained as a fighter, humans would beat and mame him and then make him fight other dogs while they all cheered. How about you, Captain Persia, and your crew, did all of your human masters treat YOU well? Ultra's question puts blank looks on all of the Space Rover's faces. Persia thought back to the day her former master threw her and all of her siblings into a bag and threw them in the river. It made Boomer remember the day his former owner abandoned him at the dog track when he lost another race. Sanudra began to cry when she thought of the day her master shot her in the woods. Whitey's usual calm look was replaced with anger. Like it was yesterday, he remembered all the terrible beatings he took on his master's dog sled team. Even Grunt begins to growl when thought of his last master, General Parvo! ULTRA (looking at all of them): See? I can tell by your faces! You were all mistreated by the humans! Join us, we can all work together to return to Earth and teach them all a lesson! We'll make all of THEM beg, roll over, fetch US the newspaper and maybe even PLAY DEAD!!! Ultra and his pack laugh wickedly as Persia talks telepathically to her officers. PERSIA (telepathically to her crewmates): Listen, we can't let Ultra do this! They may be Cano-Sapiens like we are, but we cannot participate in such a bizzare plan! MOLLY (letting Persia read her mind): Captain, we are with you! Just say nyet to this beagle man! The others feel the same way, none of them wants to help Ultra take over the world. PERSIA (stands up): Ultra, we're the Space Rovers, and all of us are dedicated to peace and justice. We will not help you or your pack take your revenge out on Earth! ULTRA (frowns): Captain, you disappoint me, you leave me with no choice! Consider yourselves our prisoners! King, Lady, take a group of our gang over to their space ship! Tell them we are holding their leader hostage until they surrender the vessel to us! If they refuse, destroy them ALL! Now, do not attempt to escape, we are all much stronger than you are, and we're armed, you're NOT! PERSIA (giggling): That's what YOU think! Five Cano-Sapiens rush towards their table, Grunt jumps out in front of them and flattens them with one punch. More of Ultra's pack surround the Space Rovers, Saundra and Sheena close their eyes and concerntrate, sending all of their would-be captors floating into the air. Ultra grabs a spear and makes a run at Persia, Whitey uses his powers and changes the spear into a paper sword, which crumples when it touches the Captain. Grunt sees Ultra's attack and pounces on him, hitting him so hard that he flies through air and bursts through a wall before he skids to a stop outside. Meanwhile, at the Canius Minor, King and Lady arrive with their 'troops' and gives the crew their ultimatium. Cactus Jake responds by freezing King solid. When Lady and the other attack, Rasputin, Orchid and Su Li use their martial arts skills on them. Cactus Jake has an idea, he yells out for Bob, and out comes the green Dino-Sapien. Then he calls out for Numbia, and she stands beside Bob. CACTUS JAKE (shouts out): Hey Bob, these folks aren't being very hospitable towards us! Why don't you show them that the Space Rovers aren't going to be pushed around! Numbia, show our 'friends' your best 'creation'. BOB (shouts back): I understand! It's dinosaur time! NUMBIA (smiling): Coming right up, Jake! Everyone stops fighting as Bob begins to glow and transforms into a huge brontosaurus right before their eyes. In a matter of seconds, Numbia shapeshifts into a huge saber-toothed tiger. The sheer shock of these transformations scare Lady and all the others in the pack so badly, they run back towards the village yelping and whining all the way. Bob and Numbia follows them, Bob making loud dinosaur roaring noises and Numbia growling loudly as they go. . They all reach the hut where the Captain was, just in time to see Ultra 'land' in front of them. ULTRA (surprised): All of you, get them! LADY (shouting): They brought monsters with them, we better escape while we still can! ULTRA (angry) What monsters? BOB (arriving on the scene): I think they're refering to US! NUMBIA (growling): Now hold still, let's see how well these tiger claws of mine can CUT! Bob roars again and this sends Ultra and all of his followers running towards the horizon. Persia and the other Space Rovers return to the Canius Minor. The damage control teams finish their work and the ship takes off. Persia sits alone her office and she records her daily log entry. PERSIA (inot mic): Captain's log, Entry #862. My first day of active duty after being released from Sick Bay has certainly been eventful. First the ship weathers a meteor shower, then we have to land for repairs. On the planet, we discover fellow Cano-Sapiens who want us to fly back to Earth and take revenge on all humans. Our crew fought valiantly and we escaped. I must say, I have mixed feelings about Ultra and his comrades. Although they are fellow Cano-Sapiens, they're motives were evil. On a personal note, Ultra's proposal did make me think. The majority of my crew (including myself) were either abandoned or brutality mistreated by our former masters. I must admit that there is part of me who would enjoy revenge, however, as a Road Rover we are sworn to uphold justice and to serve mankind. What would I do if I ever met the man who threw me in the river and killed all of my brothers and sisters? I honestly don't know. End of entry. The scene shifts to the galley, where the crew is sitting down for their evening meal. Molly and Bruno were sitting with their children, Francis and Marie and their children sat with them as other crewmembers entered the room. Rasputin is sitting alone at a table when both Daisy and Orchid sit next to him on either side. Claudia is also sitting alone at a table, staring out a window. Fydo walks over and sits beside her. FYDO (smiling): Claudia, you seem to be unhappy, what's wrong? Is it the food? CLAUDIA (sighing): No, the food is fine, its just that........ that........... well.................. FYDO (sadly): Is it something you'd rather not talk about? CLAUDIA (holding Fydo's hand): It's OK, Fydo, I know I can talk to you. You see .... I have this little problem, you see, there's this certain man that I'm just dying to take out on a date, but I'm too scared to ask him. What do you think I should do? FYDO (smiling): Claudia, I suggest you use the direct approach, go right up to him and say "I think you're a great guy, let's go out together!" CLAUDIA (grinning); Really? Do you think that I should do that? After all, most of the people on this ship think I'm strange just because I'm a water dog. FYDO (looking into her eyes): Look, Claudia! You're a very special person! Anyone who can't see that is blind! Now, tell me, is this man in the galley now? CLAUDIA (anxiously) Yes, yes he is, Fydo! FYDO (smiling): Then what are you waiting for? Go over to him and tell him exactly what I told you to! CLAUDIA (hitting her hand on the table) Fydo! I'll do it! Be right back! Claudia walks away from the table, turns around, and returns to her seat. CLAUDIA (looking Fydo in the eyes): I think you're a great guy, let's go out together! Fydo nearly chokes on his drink when he hears this, his eyes grow as big as saucers as he sits there in disbelief. FYDO (dumbfounded): What did you say to me? CLAUDIA (smiling): I mean it, Fydo! I knew you were a great guy the moment I pulled you out of the pool that day! FYDO (nervous): I don't know what to say... CLAUDIA (grinning): Just say YES! FYDO (shouting): YES!! As he shouts, he slaps both of his hands on the table, which catches the edge of his tray and flips all of his food all over the front of his uniform. All the others in the galley laugh as they observe him, but Claudia grabs some napkins and begins to help Fydo clean up. CLAUDIA (smiling): That's one thing I truly admire about you, Fydo. Out of all the other eligible men on this ship, you are the most honest and down to earth man I've ever met. Now, go to your quarters and get changed, I'll meet you in the lounge, bye cutie! Claudia kisses Fydo and then leaves the galley, the sight of someone actually kissing Fydo absolutely shocks everyone in the room. All of the children present giggle as Fydo stands up and walks away. FYDO (shouting with a huge grin on his face): SOME GUYS GOT IT, AND SOME DON'T! RASPUTIN (laughing): Who ever thought that Fydo would be date bait! DAISY (elbowing Rasputin): I think YOUR date bait, sweetie! ORCHID (elbowing Rasputin): C'mon, tell her off and let's get out of here Daisy overhears Orchid and gets angry, she throws her tray of food at her and covers her in dog food and whipped cream, Orchid get angry and throws her tray at Daisy, she ducks and the tray hits Derby and Dot on the head as she was walking in front of them. Dot growls and throws her tray at Orchid, who ducks and watches in horror as the flying tray smacks Persia right in the face. PERSIA (very angry): I WANT EVERYONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TO STAND UP. NOW!!!! Dot, Orchid and Daisy immediately stand up and walk slowly towards Persia, heads hung low. PERSIA (very angry): Your actions have left me no alterative but to issue the following order........ FOOD FIGHT!!!!!! Persia flips her tray like a cataput and covers Dot, Orchid and Daisy with food. All of the others join in, Rasputin throws dog biscuits at the Captain, all of the children happily fling food all around, Molly and Bruno hit each other with pies. Bob tosses his tray in the air like a frizbee. Everyone is laughing and throwing food until someone hits Grunt with a pie. He growls loudly and stands up, ready to fight. PERSIA (telepathically to Grunt): Grunt, it's alright. Remember what I told you about relaxing and having fun, now throw some food, and that's an order! Grunt quickly runs into the kitchen, grabs a huge vat of meaty dog food and flings all of it into the air, covering nearly everyone in the room. This only makes everyone laugh even harder, even Grunt finally grins. ABDULLAH (looking at Deborah and Calypso): I think our shipmates have gone insane! CALYPSO (giggling): I don't tink so, mon! DEBORAH (laughing): No, Doctor, I disagree! After all we've been through, this is the PERFECT medicine! ---------------------------------------------------------------------
