A Hair-Raising Experience (Transcript)

This is the 4th episode of Dragon Squadron: Draconightger.

One day Kathleen and Amanda were sitting at the Nuttingson family house watching TV when a commercial for hair care products came on the TV.

Amanda: Hmmmmmm. These hair care commercials always get me thinking.

Kathleen: About what, Amanda?

Amanda: About my own hair. They always make me wonder if I'm properly taking good care of it.

Kathleen: I'd say that you are. I think you might be taking better care of your hair than I am. Or at least I think that is what Jase has always been telling me.

Amanda: Has he ever said that I have better hair than you?

Kathleen: No. At least not out loud. But when I was younger, I once cut as much of my own hair off as I could. But Jase caught me halfway and told our parents. I was grounded for a whole month until my hair grew back.

Amanda: Ouch. That's not good.

Kathleen: You're telling me. Maybe a sample of those products might do our hair some good. Wouldn't you say so?

Amanda: Yeah. I think so.

Kathleen: Okay, great. Besides, a little fresh air should do us some good anyway.

They left the house and made their way downtown. They went over to the health and beauty store and started looking around at the hair care products.

Saluki Store Employee: Having trouble looking for something, girls?

Amanda: We were just looking for this new hair product we saw on television.

Saluki Store Employee: Oh, we just got a shipment of it yesterday. They were selling out pretty quickly lately.

Kathleen: Selling out fast? Must be in high demand.

Saluki Store Employee: Oh, yes.

Amanda: Well, we'd better grab as much as we can.

Meanwhile, at Rusairus' lair, Rusairus was watching that same hair care commercial on Vector, and she was starting to feel a bit jealous of anyone who had hair.

Rusairus: Grrrrrrrr. Females always fuss about their hair, while I'm stuck with this helmet on. It's so unfair. Especially since I don't even have hair anyway.

Tinker Tonker: I do agree! Ladies are just so obsessive over their hair that some even have it grow as long as they can. Isn't that crazy?

Jaroblin: Wait, your helmet is stuck on? I thought you could take it off.

Rusairus: I can. I just meant stuck figuratively since I'm not in my perfect form yet. But as long as those Draconighters are in my way, I may never get that form or get any closer to granting my mother's dying wish!

Vector: (Reverting back to his own face) You know, Tinker Tonker, we could use women growing their hair as long as they can to our advantage. We should cast a spell on ladies' hair to make it grow so long, it covers them completely.

Rusairus: Hmmmmmmm. I like that idea very much, Vector. We'll show them how it feels to have a literal bad hair day!

Vector: Good one, my queen! I'll see if we can create a monster that can make women's hair grow to unrealistic lengths!

Tinker Tonker: And I'll get the materials for them.

Rusairus: Excellent!

Tinker Tonker then got to work on creating the monster.

Tinker Tonker: (Gathering the materials he needed) Hmmmmmm. How to make a hair-based monster? (Sees a box containing a hair dryer and a brush) Hmmmmmm. These would make good weapons. (Takes the box, and places it on his workbench) Let me see here. (sees a box full of assorted hair) A-ha! This will do just fine! (Grabs the box, pulls out some of the hair, and starts hammering on it)

He soon put the finished product into the boiler, it lit up, and then the hatch door opened, revealing a hairy-looking monster.

Tinker Tonker: Ah! She's beautiful! Just one more thing! (Pulls out a bow, and puts it in her hair) Ready for action!

Hair Monster: You can call me Hairy Mary! Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

Tinker Tonker: I see. Well, I'm sure you'll be perfect for what we have in mind for you.

Hair Monster: Lay it on me!

Tinker Tonker: We want you to use the magic from your hair dryer gun and hairbrush club to make all the ladies' hair grow so long, it covers them completely! We want them to experience a TRULY bad hair day!

Hairy Mary: As you wish! I'll make sure all the ladies have a hair-raising experience they won't soon forget! (Disappears in the poof of hair to carry out her orders)

She soon arrived at the Health and Beauty store.

Hairy Mary: Now to enhance all this hair gel to make anyone who uses it make their hair grow very long. (Uses her hair dryer gun to enchant the hair gel) There. That should do it. (Sees Amanda and Kathleen coming) Uh oh. (Disappears)

Amanda and Kathleen come out of the store with bags full of hair gel, not knowing that it's been enchanted.

Kathleen: Okay. We just gotta wash our hair with this stuff, and we'll be sure to have healthy, luscious locks in no time!

Amanda: Yeah. I cannot wait to see how fabulous I look with this improved hair.

Rusairus: (Looking on through Vector) Oh, trust me, Ranger. Neither do I. (Laughs evilly)

Kathleen and Amanda then went home, and they started applying the hair gel while they showered. They then went to bed. The next morning, Jase had woken up first.

Jase: (Smells) Mmmm. What could that be?

He decided to go downstairs to see what the smell was. Kathleen was still asleep in her bed. When Jase got downstairs, he saw that their mom was cooking eggs.

Mrs. Nuttingson: Good morning, Jase.

Jase: Good morning, Mom. Are you cooking eggs?

Mrs. Nuttingson: Indeed I am.

Jase: I know Kathleen loves eggs. I better go and wake her up.

He went back upstairs to wake Kathleen up. He soon arrived at their room and went over to Kathleen's bed.

Jase: (Moves Kathleen from side to side) Hey, Kathleen. Up and at 'em! Mom's made eggs, and you'd better get down there before I eat them all!

But when Kathleen got up, Jase just saw a large blonde stack of hair.

Jase: Whoa! What happened to your hair?

Kathleen: Huh? What do you mean?

Jase hurried over to get a mirror and held it to her.

Kathleen: What are you doing, Jase?

Jase: How come you're not looking in the mirror?

Kathleen: What are you talking about? I don't see a mirror.

Jase: Uh-oh. Sis, I hate to tell you this, but your hair is covering up your entire body! Save for your ears and your tail.

Kathleen: It is? (Feels her body) Oh my goodness! It really is!

Jase: Oh, boy. This could be problematic!

There was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Nuttingson answered it. On the doorstep was a brown hairy thing with a blue iguana tail sticking out.

Mrs. Nuttingson: AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! A brown, hairy...whatever!

Amanda: No, Mrs. Nuttingson. It's me, Amanda! Are Kathleen and Jase home?

Mrs. Nuttingson: Jase, Kathleen, your friend Amanda is here. But she's all hairy for some reason!

(Cuts to Jase and Kathleen's room)

Jase: Amanda, too?

Kathleen: Oh dear. I think I know what this is about.

Jase: What?

Kathleen: Yesterday, Amanda and I bought some hair gel after seeing it on TV, and for some reason, it made our hair grow too long.

Jase: Uh-oh. Do you think we ought to let Monty and Harry know about this?

Kathleen: I think we better.

Later on, at Amanda's house, Amanda and Kathleen explained to the boys and Platia about the hair gel.

Platia: (Observing the hair gel closely) Hmmmmmm. There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary with this gel.

Harry: Maybe it was cursed somehow.

Platia: That seems very likely. I'll have to examine the gel to see if something else is up.

Monty: Okay, Platia. (Turns to the two hairy girls) Can you still transform despite looking like this?

Amanda: It's worth a shot.

Girls: (Gets out their Draconight Keys) Draconight Keys! (Inserts the keys into their swords) Draconight Change! (The smaller knights appeared, danced around them, then transformed them, but their hair can be seen through their visors)

Monty: They can still morph alright.

Kathleen: Can we? I still can't see with all the hair on my face. (Waves her hand in front of her face)

Harry: Oh dear. That might be a problem.

Jase: Maybe you ought to sit this out until we can find a way to reverse this.

Just then, Platia's spikes began to twitch.

Monty: Oh, boy. As if we didn't have enough problems as is.

Harry: What's going on, Platia?

Platia: It's a hairy monster. She must be the cause of Amanda and Kathleen's hair problem.

Monty: We're on it!

The boys got out their Draconight Keys and then transformed.

Boys: Draconight Keys! (Insert their keys into their swords) Draconight Change! (The small knights danced, and then transformed them)

Harry: At least we can still see clearly.

Amanda: Well what about us?

Harry: In your condition, you'd better do what Jase says, and sit this one out.

Kathleen: (Disappointed) Oh, okay.

Platia: Good luck, Rangers. I'll stay here and try different methods of fixing their hair problem. There's gotta be something that can turn their hair back to normal.

Monty: Will do. Let's go, boys.

And they headed out the window. Amanda and Kathleen removed their helmets to show their still hairy faces. Platia then looked them over.

Platia: Hmmm.

Kathleen: Well, is there any way to fix this?

Platia: Let me try cutting it first. I'm gonna start with scissors. (Pulls out a pair of scissors, and tries cutting it)

However, as she tried cutting the hair, the scissors' blades actually broke apart. After a couple of attempted snips, the scissors were reduced to metal nubs.

Amanda: Did it work?

Platia: (Throwing the broken scissors aside) No.

Kathleen: How about an electric razor?

Platia: That's a good suggestion. (Grabs an electric razor, and plugs it in)

As she tried to shave the hair, the razor short-circuited and exploded.

Platia: That didn't work, either. I guess the spell made the hair too strong to be cut.

Amanda: Darn!

Platia: Maybe I can try styling it. Y'know, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Platia then tried to style Amanda and Kathleen's hair as best as she could. Meanwhile, Hairy Mary was going around the city, blasting at civilians with her hair dryer gun, and whacking them with her hairbrush club.

Hairy Mary: Prepare for the worst bad hair day of your lives! (Laughs evilly)

Monty: Stop right there, freak!

Hairy Mary: Oh goodie! The Draconightgers! I guess your lady friends couldn't make it, could they? Having a bad hair day, I take it! Hahahaha!

Jase: Yes, and you're gonna pay for that!

Monty: Fire attack! (Releases fire from his sword at Hairy Mary)

Hairy Mary: (Setting her hair dryer gun to cool down mode, and blasts a mist of cool air at the fire, cooling it down)

Monty: Drat! She cooled it down!

Jase: (Runs up to Hairy Mary) Let's see how her hair dryer handles my wind abilities! (Raises his sword) Hurricane Strike! (Swings the hurricane at Hairy Mary)

When the wind died down, Hairy Mary had her hair sticking up.

Hairy Mary: Hold on! (Uses her hairbrush club to brush her hair down) Okay. Now you brush YOU out! (Whacks at Jase with her hairbrush club)

Jase: Oww! (Falls to the ground)

Harry: She shouldn't stand a chance against my earth powers! (Puts his sword into the ground, and causes an earth attack on Hairy Mary)

Hairy Mary: (Stumbles a bit, but finds her footing) Looks like I could use some help! (Summons some Whiknights by her side) Clip them, Whiknights!

Whiknights: (Drawing their swords, and charging at the boys)

Monty: Oh man! Here we go! (Swings his sword at some Whiknights)

Harry: (Strikes his sword at a couple of them)

Jase: (Hits his sword at some of them)

Hairy Mary: That will keep you on your toes!

Monty: Wanna bet? (Knocks over a Whiknight, and charges at Hairy Mary with his sword)

Monty slices at Hairy Mary for a bit and he was able to slice a bit of her hair off.

Hairy Mary: (Feeling weak) Augh! Look what you've done to my luscious locks! You haven't heard the last of me! (Disappears in a puff of hair)

Monty: That was unexpected. (Looks at the piece of hair he cut off) This has got to be important. (Puts away the hair, and rejoins Harry and Jase in the fight)

The boys managed to finish off the whiknights and they all vanished.

Harry: Those so-called white knights really knew how to put up a fight.

Monty: Guys, I got a bit of the monster's hair. She started to feel a bit weak when I cut it off.

Harry: Do you think maybe that piece of her hair might be enough to help Kathleen and Amanda?

Jase: Let's hope so. Back to Amanda's room!

And they hurried back. When they got back (and took their helmets off), they saw that Amanda and Kathleen still had their bodies covered in hair.

Monty: I see that you haven't figured out any solutions, Platia.

Platia: I thought of styling their hair, but I can't even do that.

Kathleen: Did you defeat that monster?

Jase: Not yet, sis. But we did get a hair sample from the monster.

Harry: We thought maybe it could help.

Platia: Let me see it.

Monty: (Giving her a sample of the hair) When I cut it off with my sword, she felt weak.

Platia: Interesting. Maybe if you cut off more of it, the spell would break on the girls.

Monty: But, how are we gonna do that?

Jase: (Thinking hard, and coming up with an idea) I think I got it!

Monty: What, Jase?

Jase: What if we set up a fake beauty salon for her to come to and get her hair cut? That might work.

Harry: That sounds like a good idea. But first, we'll need some disguises.

A while later, the boys were all dressed up as barbers, each wearing white coats and with fake mustaches on.

Platia: You certainly look like real barbers, boys.

Jase: How would you know, Platia? You haven't been to a barbershop before.

Amanda: She has seen them on TV.

Monty: Now, we just need to build a facade resembling a beauty salon.

Harry: I think I got some boards in my garage we can use.

A while later, Monty, Harry, and Jase were constructing their fake beauty salon. They made it look as good as a real one. Soon, they had it set up.

Monty: Alright. Now we just got to wait for that monster to come along.

Jase: I just hope the girls are hanging in there.

Back at Amanda's house, Kathleen and Amanda were moping over the fact that they were still covered by their hair.

Kathleen: I can't believe this happened all because we were concerned about our hair.

Amanda: If we ever get out of this mess, I am never going to try to make my hair look any better than it already does!

Kathleen: Neither will I!

Platia: Well, I personally don't mind this look. It would make for a good Helloowan costume.

Amanda: Halloween, Platia!

Platia: Oh. Halloween! I still am not used to these holiday names. But do you think it is a good idea?

Kathleen: Yeah, if we planned on making ourselves look like this. But we didn't.

Platia: That's a good point. We can only hope that the boys are successful in tricking her.

Over with the boys, they waited for Hairy Mary to show up.

Harry: She should be here any minute, now.

Just then, a huge mob of women who have fallen victim to Hairy Mary appear in front of the phony salon.

Monty: Uh-oh! I wasn't expecting this!

Jase: Me neither!

While that was going on, Hairy Mary was walking around, looking for another woman to make her hair grow longer.

Hairy Mary: I'm on a roll, here! Now, who could be another nice victim?

Then, she saw the barber stand.

Hairy Mary: Hey, what is this?

Monty: (Seeing Hairy Mary among the crowd) Ah! There you are! We've been waiting for you!

Hairy Mary: Waiting for me?

Jase: Oh yes. It is your lucky day, ma'am. You are our randomly selected customer who will be getting a haircut for free!

Hairy Mary: Huh?

Harry: (Grabbing her, and brings her into the facade)

They were able to put her into one of the chairs, and Monty started spraying her with water.

Monty: It's hard to cut dry hair, y'know.

Hairy: Mary: Really?

Monty: Uh huh!

Monty got his scissors ready. Then Harry and Jase got their scissors and they began to cut her hair.

Hairy Mary: Hey! Wait, I didn't want my haircut!

Jase: We insist! (Proceeds to cut her hair)

They managed to get Hairy Mary's hair cut until she had no more hair.

Hairy Mary: No! You cut off all my hair! Now, I feel weak!

Just then, all of Hairy Mary's victims' hair returned to how it looked originally, including Kathleen and Amanda's.

(Cuts to Amanda's room to show that she and Kathleen's hair returns to normal)

Kathleen: Hey! Our hair!

Amanda: They did it! The guys did it!

Kathleen: I hope it's not too late for us to help them out!

Amanda: Then, let's get on out there!

The girls picked up their helmets, put them on, and then jumped out the window.

Platia: (Peaks her head out of the window) Good luck, girls!

Back with the others, Hairy Mary ran out of the facade screaming.

Hairy Mary: How could this be?

Monty: (Pulling off his mustache) Easy! You fell for our trap hook, line, and sinker!

Hairy Mary: Ah! You're the Draconightgers!

Then, Amanda and Kathleen arrived.

Amanda: Surprise, Hairy Mary!

Kathleen: Our hair is back to normal, and now we are set to fight.

Boys: Draco Keys! (Inserts their keys into their swords) Draco Change! (The tiny knights appeared, danced around the Draconightgers, then transformed them)

Monty: The knight of fire, Draconight Red!

Amanda: The knight of water, Draconight Blue!

Harry: The knight of earth, Draconight Yellow!

Jase: The Knight of wind, Draconight Green!

Kathleen: The knight of energy, Draconight Violet!

Monty: Dragon Squadron...

All: Draconightger!

Hairy Mary: Okay, now you're gonna get it! (Summons a couple of Whiknights) Now let's give these colorful losers a REAL clipping!

The Whiknights charged for the Draconightgers.

Amanda: Water wave! (Uses her sword to make a water wave splash at the Whiknights)

Whiknight: (Gets pushed by the water) AAAAH!

Kathleen: Energy strike! (Uses his sword and fires an energy strike at some Whiknights)

Whiknights: (Gets struck by the energy) AAAH!

Monty: Good work, girls!

Amanda: Thanks! It's great to finally see what we're fighting!

Monty: Now I think we should finish this monster off! Swords ready!

They put their swords in a circle, creating an energy blast!

Monty: Draconight swords...

All: Unite!

The swords glowed in their respective colors, then fired a blast and hit Hairy Mary.

Hairy Mary: AAAH! (Gets knocked back) Oh, how embarrassing!

Kathleen: That'll teach you to give us a bad hair day!

Amanda: Now it's YOUR turn to have one!

Tinker Tonker: (Appears) Correction, Rangers! Your bad hair day is still young! (Activates his device to enlarge Hairy Mary, making her and her hair grow)

Hairy Mary: Now, it's hair-raising!

Monty: Time for us to call for the Draconight Dragons!

The Draconightgers got their keys, and threw them into the air to call for the Draconight Dragons!

Monty: Combine, Dracoknightoh Water Energy formation!

Draconightoh was then formed with the Water and Energy Dragons forming the arms and the rangers appeared in the cockpit.

Hairy Mary: A water energy formation, huh? Well, I'll dry that off quickly! (Uses her hair dryer gun set on dry to blast hot air at Draconightoh)

(Cuts to Draconightoh's cockpit)

Amanda: Water attack!

Draconightoh: (Uses the Water Dragon armor to blast water at Hairy Mary)

Hairy Mary: (Gets drenched) Ach! Not again!

Kathleen: Energy attack!

Draconightoh: (Swings the Energy Dragon arm at Hairy Mary, grabbing it by the dragon's tail end, and striking her with her energy blast)

Hairy Mary: AAAAAH!

Monty: Now, it's time to put an end to this hair-raising experience!

Kathleen: I couldn't agree more!

Platia's Voice: Draconightgers, Draconightoh has a sword that it can use in any of its formations. Be sure to use that to finish off the giant monsters.

Jase: That is odd. We didn't use that last time.

Harry: No time like the present, right?

Monty: That's right, Harry!

Draconightgers: Draco Sword!

Draconightoh: (The Draco Sword appears in its hands)

Draconightgers: Draco Sword Water Energy Slash!

Draconightoh: (Charges up its swords in blue and violet colors, then slashes at Hairy Mary)

Hairy Mary: AUGHH!!! My split ends just got split! (Falls down and explodes)

Monty: And that's that!

Rusairus was watching Hairy Mary's defeat on Vector the Mirror!

Rusairus: Darn it! If I can't have good hair, nobody should! How dare those Draconightgers!

Jaroblin: You could perhaps just get a wig to solve your hair problem, mistress.

Rusairis: But I don't want to have a wig, I want real hair!

Tinker Tonker: On the bright side, if you are wearing that helmet, we can't tell that you don't have any hair.

Rusairus: That doesn't make me feel that much better, Tinker Tonker.

Tinker Tonker: (sweat drops)

Later, Monty, Harry, and Jase were playing video games at Jase and Kathleen's house. They were so busy playing, they didn't notice Kathleen and Amanda entering the room looking like they were covered with their hair like before. They snuck up behind them, and Kathleen gave her brother a quick tap on the shoulder.

Jase: What is (Sees Kathleen) i-i-i-aaaaaaaaaah!

Harry: It's happening again!

Monty: But how can that be? We defeated that monster!

Just then, Kathleen and Amanda removed their "hair," which were actually oversized wigs.

Kathleen: Gotcha!

Amanda: We were just trying out our Halloween costumes!

Monty: (Feeling relieved) Oh, what a relief.

Harry: We thought you were back under that spell again.

Jase: But this early to try out your Halloween costumes? It's not for another couple of months.

Kathleen: Well, it's better to plan ahead than wait until the last minute, am I right?

Jase: I guess so.

Harry: Well, I think they're very creative costumes right there. ^^

Amanda: Thanks. You can thank Platia for that, too. She gave us the idea.

Monty: She did, huh?

Kathleen: Yeah, she said that they would make good costumes. So, we had these custom-made at the party store.

Monty: Really? That sounds cool!

Jase: And how about your real hair? Still thinking of improving it after what you've been through?

Kathleen: I think I like my hair the way it is, bro. Especially after today.

Amanda: Same here.

Jase: Glad to hear. Good thing we boys don't have to worry too much about our hair, don't we, guys?

Harry: Nu-uh!

Monty: Certainly not.

Jase: Well, there you have it.

Kathleen: That's good. Hey, can we play with you guys?

Jase: Sure you can.

Monty: But, how? This is a four-player game and there are five of us.

Girls: Aww.

Monty: But I could take a break. So one of you can play in my stead.

Amanda: Great.

Monty got up and handed Amanda the controller he was using while Kathleen took the fourth controller. Then Monty watched as his friends continue with their game.

Amanda: This game is really fun.

Jase: You bet it is.

Amanda: By the way, I talked with Platia and she says that she is ready for somebody else to take over as her host. Is there anybody who is willing to volunteer next?

Monty: Maybe we should draw straws to determine that. Jase, Kathleen, do you have any straws in your cabinet?

Jase: There are some in the bottom drawer to the left end of the kitchen counter.

Monty: OK. I'll go get them.

Monty went to the kitchen, then came back with four straws.

Monty: Whoever pulls out the shortest straw is Platia's next host.

Kathleen: If either Jase or I pull it, will that make us the hosts next?

Monty: Well...yeah.

Amanda: Seems odd that you have a two-in-four chance.

Everyone except Amanda pulled a straw and Harry got the shortest one.

Harry: Oh, it looks like I am going to be hosting Platia next.

Amanda: Come by my house tonight when your family has gone to sleep. Platia and I will stay up to watch for you, Harry.

Harry: OK.

They continued to play the game and they all enjoyed it. Especially since they didn't have to worry about hair troubles ever again. (Cuts to nighttime outside Amanda's house) And that night, Harry arrived to pick Platia up. Platia flew out of the window and landed by Harry.

Amanda: You will be careful your folks don't see her, right, Harry?

Harry: Of course. Part of my duty as Draconight Yellow is protecting my mentor.

Platia: That is kind of you, Harry.

Harry: Now let's hurry before anybody sees us.

Amanda: Good night, guys.

Harry: Good night, Amanda.

Platia: And thanks for what you've done for me so far.

Amanda: Your welcome Platia.

When Harry and Platia arrived at Harry's bedroom, Harry showed Platia the foldout ladder in his room. Platia was surprised to see that.

Platia: I've never seen that before, Harry.

Harry: This is how my closet is, Platia. It leads up to a higher floor. I am sure it has much more space than Amanda's closet.

Platia: (Flies to the opening the foldout ladder came out from) Well, you are right. And I see you got things all set up for my stay.

Harry: That I did, Platia. It took me all evening to get it set up. Also, I hope you don't mind, but I didn't have a spare bed. So I laid out a bunch of pillows on the floor for you to sleep on.

Platia: That's alright, Harry. It will do.

Harry turned out the light, and then he headed off to his bed while Platia went to sleep on a pile of pillows.

To be continued...
