Fruits for your Labor (Transcript)

This is the 36th episode of Sneaky Squadron: Stealthranger.

One day, Lewis and Lucy were over at the supermarket. They were shopping for some fruit.

Lucy: It was nice of you to come with me, Lewis. It is always good to have company when I am grocery shopping.

Lewis: It is not a problem at all, Lucy. I'm happy to come along. Even if our sons were not interested in going. I just hope that the boys will like these fruit smoothies we're making, Lucy.

Lucy: It'll be much better than those sugary drinks they like to have a lot. I've noticed that a lot of times, they are not in the mood to do much of anything.

Lewis: At least they are always willing to fight against the Yokai anytime they need to.

Lucy: Well yes, but that is important. They seem to have lost interest in doing fun family activities.

Lewis: I agree. I remember a few days ago, I asked Stan if he was interested in going on a hike with me.

(Cuts to a flashback of Stan watching TV)

FB Lewis: Hey, Stan, I am going to go for a hike, are you interested in walking with me?

FB Stan: I don't feel like it, Dad. I just want to watch TV today. (Drinks from his cup)

FB Lewis: Uh, what is it you are drinking, Stan?

FB Stan: Just some Meowpsi Pax.

FB Lewis: That again? Haven't you ever thought of drinking some juice?

FB Stan: It just doesn't have that great taste appeal as Meowpsi Pax does.

FB Lewis: Alright.

(Cuts back to the present)

Lucy: You are telling me. That Meowpsi Pax is nothing but poison in a can.

Lewis: That what I told him one time, but he said that poison was green, not brown.

Lucy: I see he's been taking information about poison from those science fiction movies. But he's not the only one who feels too lazy to do fun things sometimes from eating so much junk.

Lewis: Has Marvin and Judd been feeling lazy to do any fun activities with you?

Lucy: You know it. The other day, I was wanting to take them bowling, but they just wanted to play video games all day. It has been this way ever since that new game came out on the Zii-U.

Lewis: So you weren't able to go bowling that day?

Lucy: Actually, Tracy was interested in going. But only for the snacks they have there.

(Cuts to a flashback of Lucy and Tracy heading into the bowling alley)

FB Tracy: Oh wow. This bowling alley is amazing. I'm sorry Marvin and Judd didn't feel like going with you, Mrs. Kitinger.

FB Lucy: That was thoughtful of you, Tracy.

(Cuts to Lucy getting her ball ready for the pins)

FB Lucy: (Throws her ball down the lane and gets a strike) Alright! I got a strike! Alright, Tracy. Your turn. (Notices Tracy isn't there) Uh, Tracy? (Sees Tracy at the snack bar) Oh no. (Goes up to Tracy at the snack bar) Tracy, we came here to bowl, not to eat.

FB Tracy: I just want to get a personal pan pizza, Mrs. Kitinger. I've got my own money to pay for it.

FB Lucy: Tracy, we haven't got time to wait in line for snacks.

FB Tracy: I went up while it was your turn, though.

FB Tracy: With two more you're out?

FB Lucy: Not that kind of strike. I mean I got ten pins in one roll.

(Flashback ends)

Lucy: I still let Tracy have her pizza, though. But she wasn't all that into bowling until the second half of the game. When she finished her whole pizza.

Lewis: Who won the game, though?

Lucy: Surprisingly, she did. But that was still no excuse to go up and get a pizza without checking with me first.

Later on at the camper, Lewis and Lucy had gotten a fruit-filled lunch ready.

Stan: Seriously, this sort of junk again?

Lucy: Stan, this isn't junk. It is good for you.

Lewis: You boys need to have more fruits and less sugary drinks.

Marvin: Hey, we don't drink that many sugary drinks.

Judd: Yeah. Stan drinks more sugary drinks than us. It was his idea to buy those two-liter Meowpsi Pax bottles.

Stan: HEY!

Lewis: That's enough! Now, how do you want to eat this fruit?

Stan: I'll have a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I would rather have jelly, but if you insist I eat fruit, this is my way to go.

Marvin: I'll take a fruit salad.

Judd: As would I.

Tracy: And I'll have the pineapple pizza.

Lucy: Well, this is a start. But Tracy, if you want a pizza, you should at least help in making the dough.

Tracy: Sure thing, Mrs. Kitinger. (Gets up from her chair and goes up to Lucy who has the ingredients ready for the pizza dough)

Lewis: And Stan, you should make your own sandwich.

Stan: No problem, Dad.

Stan got up from his chair to get the pieces of bread and the peanut butter ready. He was about to get the jelly from the fridge when he remembered...

Stan: Oh wait, bananas. Not jelly. (Goes back to the bread and peanut butter)

Lewis: And here's your banana (Hands Stan a banana).

Stan: Thanks, Dad (Takes the banana).

Stan then began slicing his banana. Over at the grocery store, Madame Misfortune and Luanna Bunny had just arrived.

Madame Misfortune: This looks like the fruit stand.

Luanna Bunny: Do you think it will be enough?

Madame Misfortune: I think so.

Then, out came a fruit-themed Yokai.

Frootzilla: Is this where I begin my feast?

Luanna Bunny: Dig in, Frooty.

Frootzilla: I told you not to call me Frooty.

Frootzilla then began eating from the fruit stand. All the people there ran out of the store screaming.

Madame Misfortune: Look at them all screaming.

Luanna Bunny: It looks like no fruit snacks for anybody here now.

Over with the Stealthrangers, Stan had just finished making his sandwich, Marvin and Judd had just gotten their fruit salads, and Tracy's pizza was put in the oven.

Lucy: Alright, Tracy. Your pizza should be ready in about 20 minutes.

Tracy: 20 minutes? I don't know if I can wait that long.

Lucy: Well, would you rather eat a raw pizza?

Tracy: No.

Tracy went to sit down next to Stan. She saw the food that the boys were already having.

Tracy: (Her belly gurgles from hunger)

Stan: (Notices the hunger noises from Tracy) Uh, Tracy, if you want, I can share half my sandwich with you.

Tracy: But then I won't be able to eat all my pizza when it is finished.

Stan: Maybe you could share some of it with me since I'm sharing my sandwich with you.

Judd: You could have part of our fruit salads, too.

Marvin: Wait, she can?

Judd: Why not?

Tracy: That is quite kind of you boys.

But before they could get to sharing their meals, Lewis saw the panic outside.

Lewis: It looks like something going on at the grocery store.

Lucy: There wasn't any trouble there when we shopped, dear.

Lewis: Well, there must be something there now. Guys, we better go see what that is.

Stan: Now?

Lucy: I'm afraid so.

Stan: (Sighs) Oh well. I guess crime doesn't wait.

All: Super Change Stealth Changer! (Transforms into their Stealthranger forms)

Lewis: Gamma, be sure Tracy's pizza doesn't burn.

Gamma 4: Will do, Master Lewis.

And they headed out of the camper and on their way to the grocery store. When they arrived, the grocery store was quite empty.

Lucy: Oh man. It is as if we haven't had enough issues with grocery stores, have we?

Then, they saw something extraordinary. It was a bunch of fruit walking around on the ground.

Stan: This isn't right.

Marvin: If you say that your fruit didn't just get up and walk away, you'd be wrong about that for once.

Judd: I do find that saying funny. Getting up and walking away.

Tracy: This isn't funny now, is it?

Judd: Oh no. This is not funny.

Lewis: We better blast these fruits before they do whatever it is they can do.

Stan: I don't even want to know what it is they can do.

They got their blasters and blasted the walking fruits around the market. Stan first blasted a couple of bananas that walked down the cereal aisle. Some of them were attempting to get into the cereal boxes.

Stan: Are you trying to get yourselves into this cereal. I don't think cereal tastes any better with you on them. Sure I am willing to eat bananas on a sandwich, but not on cereal.

Stan managed to blast all the bananas in the cereal aisle, leaving only the peals.

Stan: Good. The bananas are all defeated in this aisle. But I'll need to pick up all these banana peals before anybody slips on them.

But then, the peals got up and began to walk.

Stan: What?

They began to walk towards Stan. He blasted them, but they got to him before he was able to blast them all. Stan tried to move to avoid slipping, but they got under his feet, causing him to slip.

Stan: Whoa!

Then, Lucy arrived at the aisle.

Lucy: How dare you give my son the literal slip, you unappealing peals. (Blasts at the peels, getting them all destroyed) There we go. (Runs over to Stan and helps him up) Are you OK, Stan?

Stan: I'm OK, Mom. Thanks for helping me out. And great pun you did there.

Over in the frozen food area, some apples and pears had arrived and began tossing out some frozen foods from the freezer and onto the floor. Lewis then saw this.

Lewis: Hey, don't be wasting that food. (Blasts at the apples and pears, blowing them up)

Judd then arrived on the other side of the aisle.

Judd: I guess in order to keep one good food from getting wasted, we need to eliminate these other foods. (Blasts some other apples and pears)

But then, some frozen foods are tossed from the top of the aisles from some kiwis.

Judd: Remind me never to start a farm with those kinds of fruits.

Lewis: I've already seen one, and it is just terrible. Those farmers are just disrespectful.

They both blasted at the kiwis. Soon, they all were eliminated.

Lewis: Alright. Now we got to get all these frozen foods back into the freezers before they either melt or go bad.

But then, some oranges rolled into the aisle, causing both Lewis and Judd to slip.

Both: Whoa! (Falls down)

Judd: Orange you glad I came to help?

Lewis: Very funny, Judd.

Over in the cookware aisle, Marvin found some cooking pans and pots flying from the shelves.

Marvin: Alright! Who is tossing the cookware?

He looked to see it was a bunch of limes and lemons tossing them.

Marvin: Prepare to be turned into lemonade and limanade. Oh, wait! Limeade! I can't believe it is called that and not limanade. Then again it makes sense since they're called limes and not limans.

He began to blast the limes and lemons, turning them into lemon juice and lime juice. He blasted them until they were all destroyed.

Marvin: There we go. Now to get these pots and pans back onto their shelves.

He then began to pick up the pots and pans that had fallen onto the floor. On the roof of the market, Frootzilla had seen all the work.

Frootzilla: So you think that you've gotten my fruits all beaten, huh? Let's see if how you like fighting the people you protect. Fruit army, I have another task for you.

At that moment, all the remaining fruits began walking towards the exit of the store as Tracy was slicing at some apples and bananas she had found in the candy aisle.

Tracy: What are they doing?

Everyone ran to the entrance to see all the fruit head out into the city.

Stan: I don't like the look of this.

Marvin: It looks like they're going to spread their fruity mischief all across the city.

They ran out of the store to go after the walking fruit, but then Frootzilla landed right in front of them.

Frootzilla: You aren't going to interfere with my fruity minions until they've finished the tasks I've sent them to accomplish!

Lewis: We'll see about that!

Both Lewis and Lucy charged for Frootzilla, but he just knocked them back. Then, Marvin and Judd had a try at him but were knocked back as well. Then Stan had a go, but he was knocked back.

Stan: This is one tough stack of fruit.

Tracy: I can take this. (Zips towards Frootzilla, but is knocked back)

Stan: (Holds his arms out for Tracy and holds her bridle style) I got you.

Tracy: (Sighs) Thanks, Stan.

Stan: (Sets Tracy onto the ground)

Frootzilla: It doesn't matter how fast you are, my body is very very thick. Made of the thickest fruit skins. You'll never figure out any way to beat me.

Stan: Oh yeah? I call for the Stealth Cycle!

The Stealth Cycle then arrived and Stan got on board it. Then he zipped towards Frootzilla.

Lewis: Alright, Stan!

Lucy: This ought to work!

Marvin: Go, Stan! Go!

Judd: Yeah!

Stan got close to Frootzilla, who just stood there without looking worried at all.

Stan: Here I come!

Stan made an impact for Frootzilla but was knocked back.

Stan: AAAAH! (Falls onto the ground)

The Stealth Cycle was laying on its side as well. Stan managed to get himself up.

Lewis: Not even the Stealth Cycle worked!

Lucy: What will if that didn't?

Then, they saw that the fruit army was proceeding to get themselves inside the mouths of the civilians. Once swallowed, the civilians got possessed and began walking towards the Stealthrangers.

Frootzilla: Now the next part of my plan has begun. Good luck with trying to fight your beloved citizens.

Tracy: That has to be bad!

Judd: At least those fruity minions can get inside of us. Our helmets protect us from them getting into our mouths.

Lucy: We gotta figure out some way to help the citizens without hurting them.

Lewis then turned on his communicator.

Lewis: Gamma, does Frootzilla have any weakness?

(Cuts to Gamma in the camper)

Gamma 4: I am doing some research on it right now. I suggest you come back to the camper until I've found something.

(Cuts to the Stealthrangers)

Lewis: Well, we don't have a choice. We'll be back, Frootzilla.

And they hurried away to the camper. Over in the Yokai Mansion, Yokaimou had seen the process.

Yokaimou: Frootzilla is doing pretty well. Good work, Madame Misfortune. You sure knew what Yokai to send this time.

Madame Misfortune: Why thank you, Master.

Luanna Bunny: I knew nothing could go wrong with this one.

Slugbora: Not even the Stealth Cycle was any match for his thick fruit skin.

Leafy: And with everyone being force-fed the fruits, this world will be ours before you know it.

Over at the camper, Lewis had commanded Gamma to activate a shield around the camper so that the fruits didn't come into the camper while they were inside. They had demorphed while they waited for Gamma to come up with a solution on how to defeat Frootzilla.

Tracy: Will this force field really protect us from those possessive fruits?

Lucy: It should. But if the force field comes down for any reason, prepare to morph again in order to protect your mouths from getting force-fed.

Tracy: (Her stomach growls again) Speaking of fed, can we get some food now?

Lewis: Your pizza is all ready.

Lewis got the pizza out of the oven and then sliced the pizza. Then put it on a plate and handed it to Tracy.

Tracy: At last. (Begins to eat a slice)

As everyone was eating, Lucy had noticed something. She saw a stork that was attacked by a possessed banana, but the banana couldn't get into the stork's mouth. When it tried, it just jumped back out. Then, she saw the storm step down hard on the pizza.

Lucy: Hey, what is up with that? (Turns to the others) Guys, I'm going to go out for a moment. Super Change Stealth Changer! (Transforms into Stealth Pink) Gamma, shut the force field off, but turn it back on as soon as I am out.

Gamma 4: Sure thing, Mistress Lucy.

Gamma shut the force field off, Lucy hurried out, then Gamma turned the force field back on.

Stan: Good luck, Mom.

Tracy: Stan, you did offer me half of your sandwich earlier, right?

Stan: Well, yes. But you have your pizza now.

Tracy: But we can still share, can't we?

Stan: Well, yes. I suppose we could still share anyway.

Stan used his claw to cut his sandwich in half and handed one off to Tracy.

Tracy: Thank you, Stan. And here is a slice of pizza for you (Hands him a slice).

Stan: Thank you (Takes it).

Outside, Lucy went over to the stork.

Lucy: Sir, I noticed that banana tried force-feeding you it, but it couldn't even get into your mouth and stay there. Did you by chance eat recently?

Stork: Yeah. I just finished having lunch. I couldn't eat another bite after that.

Lucy: That is good info for us to be able to defeat the Yokai. Well, at least keep us from getting processed. Be sure to tell everyone you know to eat as much as they can until the Yokai attack is over.

Stork: Will do, Ma'am.

Lucy then hurried back to the camper.

Lucy: Alright, Gamma. Let me back in.

The force field was shut off, Lucy got into the camper, then the force field was set back on. Once inside, Lucy took off her helmet.

Lucy: Guys, I figured out that if someone is full from eating, they can't get possessed.

Lewis: That is good to know, Lucy.

Lewis and Lucy then noticed that Tracy's pizza, which previously only had pineapples on it, now had slices of bananas, grapes, and oranges on it, too. And now she was sharing it with the boys.

Lucy: Uh, what is this?

Marvin: Judd and I put our fruit from our salads onto Tracy's pizza and now we're all having fruity pizza.

Judd: It actually is pretty good.

Stan: Gamma, any info on how to beat Frootzilla yet?

Gamma 4: I think I had found something. Do you have any Meowpsi Pax in the fridge?

Stan: We do, but we're trying to have less sugaring drinks. Remember?

Gamma 4: I didn't mean for yourselves.

Lewis: Gamma, you do know that robots don't drink soda, right?

Gamma 4: I know that very well, Master Lewis. I just mean for the monster. I figured out that sugar is the monsters' weakness.

Marvin: Of course.

Judd: Gamma, that is a genius idea.

Stan: I just knew one day the family would accept that having soda is a good thing. Just not in the way I was expecting.

Lucy: Just be sure to each as much as you can before we head out.

Judd: Mom, we'll be wearing our helmets. Our mouths will be covered. He wouldn't be able to force-feed us anyway.

Lucy: Better safe than sorry, Judd.

A while later, Frootzilla was searching for the Stealthrangers with his possessed fruit army.

Frootzilla: Stealthrangers! Oh, Stealthrangers! I am still here! Just give up already! I've gotten most of the citizens possessed already. And soon they all...

But then he saw some citizens who were unable to be force-fed because they had eaten as much as they could already.

Frootzilla: What? What is the meaning of this?

Then, the Stealthrangers showed up, each holding a 2-liter bottle of Meowpsi Pax.

Lewis: Frootzilla, we know what your weakness is now!

Frootzilla: Oh really?

At that time, the citizens who were already possessed were talking towards the Stealthrangers.

Stan: Guys, the citizens are approaching us!

Lewis: Alright, guys. On three. One, two, three!

They then all shook up their 2-liter bottles, then all unscrewed their bottles and some Meowpsi Pax squirted out all over Frootzilla. Covering him in Meowspi Pax.

Frootzilla: AAAAH! Sugar! I can't handle sugar! My fruit skin...it's feeling thinner and thinner.

At that moment, all the possessed fruits were turning into ordinary fruits again.

Frootzilla: No! My fruity army!

Then, the citizens, who were walking towards the Stealthrangers, had stopped.

Judd: The citizens! They're back to normal!

Frootzilla: I better grow giant. This is my last resort.

He then grew giant as the lightning surrounded him.

Lewis: He may be giant, but he is still getting weakened by the soda.

Lucy: We should form the Grand Stealth Shogun to finish him off.

The Stealthrangers then formed the Grand Stealth Shogun. When they had, Frootzilla began to charge for them.

Frootzilla: The Grand Stealth Shogun shall feel the wrath of Frootzilla! ROAR!

The Grand Stealth Shogun then laid a punch at Frootzilla, knocking him back.

Frootzilla: Oof! This is going to be a bit harder than I thought. That sugar really took a lot out of me.

Stan: Stealth Shogun Sword!

Grand Stealth Shogun: (The sword appears in its hand)

Stealthrangers: Grand Stealth Shogun Final Strike! (Slices at Frootzilla)

Frootzilla: (Gets hit) Ah! I vowed to never consume sugar! I've failed! (Falls and explodes)

Tracy: Alright! Good work, guys!

Over at the Yokai Mansion, Yokaimou was furious with Frootzilla's defeat.

Yokaimou: You didn't tell me that Frootzila had a weakness to sugar! (Smacks Madame Misfortune's face)

Madame Misfortune: OWW! Well, he didn't tell me that! You should be yelling at him for that! Not me!

Yokaimou: How can I yell at him? He's gone now! You're all that is left to yell at!

Luanna Bunny: Maybe you should have asked Frootzilla about his weaknesses first.

Madame Misfortune: I was sure he had none!

Yokaimou: Well, clearly he did have a weakness! How do you mess up so much?

Later on at the camper, the Kitinger family had gotten together around the dining table.

Lucy: I think you all did pretty well to eat more healthfully today.

Stan: Yeah. I do feel proud of myself actually. I feel more in the mood to fight that Yokai than I did before. It is like my laziness just vanished.

Marvin: Same here.

Judd: And here.

Lucy: Since you did so well both for both eating more healthfully and for fighting that Yokai, I decided to give you all a little treat.

Tracy: A treat?

Lucy: (nods)

Marvin: What treat would that be, Mom?

Lucy: I decided to get some ice cream for dessert. I also got some chocolate syrup and sprinkles if you want to add that to your ice cream.

Judd: Ice cream? Chocolate Syrup? Sprinkles? Are you trying to make it too easy for us to get back into the junk food habit?

Stan: Judd!

Judd: I'm only kidding! Only kidding!

Stan: What kind of ice cream did you get for us, Mom?

Lucy: I got vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.

Marvin: Neapolitan, right?

Lucy: No. I just got one container of vanilla, one container of chocolate, and one container of strawberry.

Tracy: You could have just saved yourself the trouble and just bought Neapolitan, Mrs. Kitinger.

Lucy: But what if somebody wanted one flavor and not the others?

Tracy: That is a good point.

Stan: I'll have mine be strawberry.

Marvin: I'll take the chocolate.

Judd: I'll have vanilla.

Tracy: I'll have some of everything.

The boys then laughed at Tracy's response. Leaving her confused.

Tracy: What? I'm serious.

Lucy: OK, Tracy. I'll get you some of all of those things if you want.

Tracy: Thank you, Mrs. Kitinger.

Lucy went over to the freezer and got out the buckets of ice cream, and Tracy and the boys got their bowls ready to take their ice cream.

Lucy: Here's your chocolate ice cream, Marvin (Scoops up some chocolate ice cream and puts it into Marvin's bowl).

Marvin: Thank you, Mom (Walks to the table and Judd takes his place).

Lucy: Here is your vanilla ice cream, Judd (Scoops up some vanilla ice cream and puts it into Judd's bowl).

Judd: Thank you, Mom (Walks to the table and Stan takes his place).

Lucy: Here is your strawberry ice cream, Stan (Scoops some vanilla ice cream and puts it into Stan's bowl).

Stan: Thanks, Mom (Goes to the table and Tracy takes his place).

Lucy: And here is your chocolate (scoops some and puts it into Tracy's bowl), your vanilla (scoops some and puts it into the bowl), and your strawberry ice cream, Tracy (Scoops some strawberry ice cream and put it into Tracy's bowl).

Tracy: Thank you, Mrs. Kitinger.

And she went to the table to join the boys. Stan had put some sprinkles onto his ice cream while Marvin and Judd each added some chocolate syrup to theirs. Tracy didn't add anything to her ice cream.

Stan: Are you going to add any toppings onto your ice cream, Tracy?

Tracy: Nah. I like my ice cream without toppings.

Stan: Suit yourself.

The Kitinger brothers and Tracy enjoyed their ice cream, but they know that it was just dessert and that they shouldn't be easily roped into eating too much junk. But at least they found a good use of the Meowpsi Pax. Stan did hate to see this soda get wasted in such a manner, but he knows that it was a for a good cause. The Stealthrangers hope that they don't have to deal with another grocery store battle for the remainder of how long it would take for them to defeat the Yokai.

To be continued...
