Everyone ready to slog around the mines?
Mike: Only if we can beat up on Cunland again.
Micky: You betcha. ;)
(We begin in the mines. Everyone still carries shovels, but they look dirty, dishevelled, and just plain annoyed.)
Mike: Does anyone have a map of this place?
Iggy: I don't think anyone had a map when they were originally in use!
Rocco: Sorry, fresh out, mate.
Marlena: How in the name of the Kerokian system are we gonna get outta here?
Emilio: *Shrugs and points* Follow the Exit signs?
Micky: I like Exit signs. *Takes a step and stumbles over something; sits up and picks up the rock he tripped over* Hey, nice rock! I could use a new paper weight!
Iggy: Oooh, shiny!
Marlena: (Frowns) That don't look like the rest of the rocks around here.
Mike: Maybe it's a gem or somethin'.
Lauren: It's pretty, whatever it is.
Mike: Well, toss it in a bag and bring it along. Maybe we can take it home as a souvenir.
Emma: (Points to a light ahead) I think we're almost back at the entrance!
Mike: Yeah... (He frowns, seeing a large group of men surrounding the entrance) Oh man. What's goin' on?
Micky: Would anyone happen to have a Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?
(Everyone ducks against the wall as we see men milling around. They're more guards, wearing pretty much the same thing as the guards in the mines. One tall, oddly handsome man with dark hair, large eyes, and too-even teeth directs the others. He wears a dark gray uniform and a long gray cape.)
Guard #1: Master Sinestral, we have yet to find the intruders or the Head Squadron Leader! Second Master Cunland just told us they went into the mines to find the girl android!
Master Sinestral: Keep looking for them! Don't rest until you find those androids!
Guard #1: What of the others?
Master Sinestral: Put the Zlotnickians to work in the mines. (Smirks) I'd like to have a little chat with the outlanders. I've been wanting to find more supplies of Acjax for a long time, and their green and fertile planet could be a prime target.
Mike: (Soft squawk) What?
Micky: Shit!
Rocco: Now they're gonna try to invade your planet! That guy's a bloomin' nut!
Emma: We have to stop him!
Marlena: Or at least get past him without gettin' caught.
Juniper: Perhaps we could provide a distraction.
Emma: Or several distractions.
Iggy: Maybe we could just sneak past them...
Mike: Hey Mick, maybe you n' me could try somethin'.
Emma: What are you two up to?
Mike: Watch and learn, darlin'.
(Mike and Micky dart out of the tunnel, ducking to the front of the line. The moment Sinestral turns his back to some of his associates, Mike turns to the two lines of guards behind him.)
Mike: Ok, men! Follow me! Hup two three four!
(Mike and Micky lead the two rows of men to the edge of the cliff, both chanting all the while. They pull away before they get to the edge of the cliff, but continue to chant...and Sinestral turns around just in time to see two rows of his android army march their way over the edge of the cliff and into the deep ravines below.)
Sinsestral: (His eyes get even wider; he splutters) Guards! Those men! Seize the...the...AAAHHHHCCHOOO!
(Sinsestral didn't see the purplish gas wafting from the direction of the tunnel. The others run for the cabs as Sinestral and most of their remaining men sneeze too hard to stop them)
Mike: What did you do?
Juniper: I merely sprayed them with my sneezing gas. It does not last long, but will allow us to escape.
Emma: (Points to a group of guards running after them) Good thing, too, because here comes the calvary!
Micky: You're our secret weapon, Juni!
Juniper: (We see a crudely animated smile appear under the football eye) I am pleased to hear that, Micky. I enjoy being of use.
Mike: The guards don't look happy, either. Those must be the androids who ain't got nothin' to sneeze with.
Juniper: Then Sinestral cannot be an android.
Rocco: (He's already in the cab with Emma in the back) Can we discuss this back at headquarters, when we ain't bein' chased?
Marlena: Then let's get goin' already! (She jumps in her cab. Iggy gets in his big cab with the four steering wheels. Juniper's is green with a leaf print painted on the sides.)
("Little Red Rider" begins as the cabs take off...with several small black space ships in hot pursuit!)
(The yellow cab flies over the meadows where Emilio's spaceship landed in "Planet of the Monkees." The yellow cab just manages to avoid a seemingly harmless, pretty flower that almost looks like a child drew it. The ship behind them isn't as lucky. The flower seems to reach out and actually swallow them whole! It even burps!)
(The green cab shoots a brownish gas at two ships. Roots grow around them, covering them so much that they can no longer fly. They fall to the ground. A drapoel bats them around, treating them like balls of yarn.)
*The cabs dodge a small white cloud with a smiley face on it and a turtle-like creature with a spiky shell tossing what looks like more spiky shells.*
(Two black ships try to slam into Marlena's magenta cab. The cab almost seems to make a "come-hither" movement with it's hood...before two side wings pop out, slamming both ships into the stratosphere.)
(Iggy's purple cab tries to dodge a large black ship. Iggy flies through what looks like a large barn. The ship follows. When it comes out, there's some straw on Iggy's ship...and a load of purple feathers like Iggy's on the ship behind him! Iggy manages to fly away as a huge, purple hen pecks her way over to the ship. There's hearts in her eyes when she sees the ship, which immediately turns around and goes the other way as fast as it can, with the chicken chasing it all the way!)
*Micky suddenly appears on a hoverboard from one of the cabs. He plays dodge 'em with flying fish that try to attack him.*
(The ship behind him shoots two guided missiles in the shape of bananas at Micky!)
*Micky dodges most of them, but catches one and peels it. He tosses the peel. The ship behind slips on it.*
(We see two men ride up on either side of Micky on hoverboards. One tries to grab at him!)
*Micky ducks, then whips out a laser gun and singes the jacket the man wears.*
(The man seems to cry! Hey, I liked this jacket!)
*Micky offers a box of tissues. How was I supposed to know?*
(As the green ship passes Micky, there's a reddish gas around the men. Suddenly, they seem to freeze up and slowly turn a brown-red color. The hoverboards crumble under them as they fall to the ground. Juniper sticks his head out of the window and says "Rust gas!")
(Emma appears on a drapoel. She settles down on it's neck, whispering in its ear. The big cat actually seems to nod and starts batting at any ships that come its way.)
(The yellow cab shoots a rope at one of the ships. It attaches to the ship, then to the limb of a blue tree. Another drapoel bats at it like a cat toy.)
(A drapoel reaches up and gives Micky a big, slurpy lick!)
*Micky wipes his face off. Yuck! Good kitty, but you make a mess!*
(Emma's drapoel digs a hole. It drops one of the black spaceships in the hole and covers it again, though it's only partially successful. We see the men in the spaceship tumble out of what we discover is really a small hill of dirt!)
(The pink cab drives into a dark cave, followed by another ship. The pink cab emerges, but the black one doesn't. We discover that the big, furry thing from "Planet of the Monkees" has sat on it and removed the men.)
(Suddenly, someone else emerges on a hoverboard as the music ends. It's Cunland. He's dirty and not happy, but otherwise fine.)
Cunland: I'm going to get you, outlander!
Micky: That's what you think! *Speeds towards a brick wall*
Cunland: You can't escape me and Master Sinestral! We'll hound you until the end of your days! We'll... (Cunland's so busy ranting, he doesn't see the brick wall and runs right into it. A flattened Cunland floats off the wall as Micky flies back to the yellow cab, which stops in mid-air.)
Rocco: (Leans out of the cab) You ok, mate?
Micky: *Grins* Couldn't be better! Can't say the same for Cunland, though.
Rocco: Looks like he hit the wall, so to speak. (Points at the back) Hop in, mate. We're gonna go talk to a scientist buddy of mine back in town who specialises in studyin' rocks. He might be able to tell us a bit more about that paper weight you found.
Micky: Thanks, Rocco! I hope so.
(Micky climbs in, and Rocco zooms off towards the sparkling Art Deco cityscape, with the other cabs following close behind...but the camera focuses on another, somewhat larger ship that scrapes Cunland off the ground with a giant spatula before heading off after the cabs as we fade out...)
