Pirates of the Sky (Transcript)

This is the 1st episode of Soaring Squadron: Skyranger.

Have you ever looked up to the clouds? I bet every time you do, you see all sorts of things. You can see clouds in the shape of people, animals, ice cream, anything. But I bet you never would guess that above those clouds lives a floating city known as Cloudnoia. Just like you would never have guessed life existed above the clouds, the resistant of Cloudnoia would never guess that life below the clouds ever existed either. Cloudnoia is split by multiple floating isles to far in the sky for the average eye to ever see from earth. The people of Cloudnoia use their birdrobos to fly from isle to isle. However, these birds are not programmed to fly below the clouds. Only above them. (Shows a house that is painted white) But getting on with the story, shall we? Here we are at the Pursworth family's house. Mr. and Mrs. Pursworth live here with their sons. Their oldest son named Jeff, who had white fur like his mother, and their younger son, Austin, who's fur was light yellow like his father's. Something the brothers would sometimes do is look at the clouds in their backyard. Only they don't look up to see them, they look down. They always wondered if such life exists below the clouds.

Austin: Jeff, if life below the clouds does exist, what do you think it would be like?

Jeff: Well, some people think that strange life lives under the clouds, but I think below those clouds are people just like you and me.

Austin: So you're saying there could be other cats like us under those clouds?

Jeff: And just about any other species living up here. Of course Dad thinks life under the clouds don't exist and that it's just an empty barrier. He says that if anyone ever jumped and fell below the clouds, they'd be falling forever and ever and ever. But I think he's wrong. I think there is life below the clouds.

Austin: I think I agree with you, big brother.

Mrs. Pursworth: Boys, it's time for dinner. So you better come in.

Jeff: OK, Mom.

The boys went inside to have their dinner. (Cuts to a library-looking building) This building is the Cloudnoia library. It however is not just a library, but also the home of an old dachshund man who is simply known as "Headmaster Daschman." He lives here running the library with his owl assistant, Owen Hootsworth, and his teenage daughter, Dina. The three of them were busy putting returned books back onto the shelves.

Dina: Father, why won't the birdrobos let us fly below the clouds?

Headmaster: I'm not quite sure, Dina. It's just how they were built. I believe the people who made the first ever birdrobos didn't want anyone to ever go below the clouds. And to this day, nobody has figured out how to program them to do such a thing.

Owen: Wasn't it because they made this floating bits of land to watch out for something?

Headmaster: Owen, I think you're right. But I can't remember what it is we're watching out for?

Dina: Well, I hope someday I can see what is below the clouds. I sure hope it's not an empty barrier like everyone believes.

Headmaster: (Laughs) Dina, it's not an empty barrier. Those are just rumors people like to spread around.

Dina: Do you know what is below the clouds, Father?

Headmaster: (Sighs) Well, it's really hard to say. But legend has it that a long time ago, there was someone below the clouds who got corrupted by a great power. (Fantasy of the headmaster's story is shown) He was a gorilla who used to build ships, but he was really obsessed with bananas.

Dina VO: Well he is a gorilla.

Headmaster VO: Anyway, he wanted to find as many bananas as he could. One day, he learned where the legendary banana with untold powers was. He was told never to go look for it because the outcomes could be dangerous, but he didn't listen and one day, he built himself a ship to set sail for the banana. He was out at sea for a long time.

(Cut to present day)

Dina: Father, what is a sea?

Since they lived in the clouds, Dina didn't know what a sea was, but for some reason, her father knew.

Headmaster: A sea is a giant body of water.

Dina: Oh. OK. Continue.

(Back to fantasy)

Headmaster VO: The gorilla set sail for such a long time. He found many mates to help him find the legendary banana, such as a turtle, a lizard, and even his half-bat, half-monkey cousin. Eventually, they found the banana of untold powers. When they touched it, it corrupted them. And they suddenly wanted to cause trouble on the land. They robbed from many houses and shops. But then, a miracle happened. From out of nowhere, 5 giant robotic birds came in and managed to banish his ship all the way out into space. After he was sent away, the robotic birds then took bits of land from the ground and gave them the ability to float into the sky, taking some of the people along with it. Our ancestors. They possibly did it because they knew that if this gorilla pirate ever returned, some new heroes would be chosen to fight them.

(Story ends)

Dina: Oh wow. Do you think I could be a chosen hero?

Headmaster: Well, anybody could be it, Dina. It could be you, it could be not.

Owen: What about me? (Falls of the ladder) Oof!

Dina & Headmaster:

Dina: I think you'd be to clumsy to fight a gorilla pirate, Owen.

Owen: Oh. (Dizzy eyes)

However, out in space, a ship was approaching. On board was a gorilla pirate just like the one mentioned in Headmaster Daschman's story. His name was Captain Bananabeard. He called himself that because since gaining the power from the banana, it also turned his beard yellow. He had black fur, wore dark blue boots, wore a dark red coat and hat, and had a hook for a hand.

Bananabeard: This is it. After all these years, we're finally back on earth.

Bananabeard's half-bat, half-monkey cousin, Primius, then flew in.

Primus: At last. Home sweet home.

Bananabeard's crew also consisted of Lizahim, a lizard in dark bluish green armor, Dr. Toris, a turtle who was the brains of the group, Wither Vain, and alien that Bananabeard found in space who helped them to navigate back to earth, at last but not least was Panthina, a panther girl who also wore armor like Lizahim, however her's had more gaps in it, showing her elbows, knees, and belly.

Lizahim: Ah, good to be back here on earth. It has been so long.

Bananabeard: It was a good thing we found Wither Vain to guide us back here.

Wither Vain: Happy to help, Captain.

Panthina: So that's earth, Captain?

Bananabeard: Indeed it is. And soon it will belong to us.

The ship began to get closer to earth. The next day, Jeff met up with Dina.

Jeff: Oh. Hello, Dina. What's going on?

Dina: Well, I've been wondering about what could be below the clouds and my father told me a possible legend about the world below.

Jeff: Really? What's the legend?

Dina: Well, he says that the reason these floating islands exist is because some large robotic bird brought our ancestors up here to watch out for some gorilla pirate who might be coming from space.

Jeff: Hahaha. A space pirate? That's kind of hard to believe.

Dina: Well Father actually said that he and his crew came from the world below, but his ship was banished into space a long time ago.

Then their friend Marcus the koala came by.

Marcus: Are you talking about what could be below the clouds?

Dina: Yes we are, Marcus.

Jeff: Why? Is there something you'd like to see down there?

Marcus: Oh yes. You see, I've heard about something called....a jungle. I've heard that some jungles have koalas like me living there. I'd really like to see a real jungle one day below the clouds.

Jeff: Maybe someday we'll have an opportunity to do so.

Dina: That is if we ever figure out how to get down there.

Marcus: Well, I may as well go home and read more books about jungles. I'll see you later.

And Marcus left.

Dina: I wonder what Reggie and Tiffany would wish to see below the clouds?

Jeff: We could go ahead and ask them.

Dina: OK.

So the two friends headed off to met with their Reggie, who was a frog. Reggie's house was in the middle of a pond where he lived with his mom and dad. Dina and Jeff crossed a lily pad bridge to get to his house. In fact, his house was made of lily pads, too.

Dina: (Knocks)

Reggie: (Opens the door) Oh. Hello guys. What brings you here?

Jeff: We were wondering if you wished to see anything below the clouds.

Reggie: Something below the clouds? Like what?

Dina: Well, what do you like that you already have up here?

Reggie: Well there are these lily pads that I like to jump across, I'd like to know if the land below the clouds has any lily pads. And I also like to eat flies. Maybe the world below has giant flies to eat.

Jeff: Hmmm. I guess that's interesting.

Reggie: What about you, guys?

Dina: Oh. We're not sure what we'd like to see.

Jeff: To be quite honest, I'd just like to see if a world does exist below the clouds. And my little brother, Austin would like to see what's under the clouds, too.

Reggie: Oh. OK then. I'll see you guys around.

Dina: OK, Reggie.

Then the two friends went to meet with their friend Tiffany. She was a deer who lived in a house with her parents.

Dina: (Knocks)

Tiffany: (Answers) Oh, hello Jeff, Dina. Come on in.

Jeff and Dina entered Tiffany's house. Jeff and Dina got seated on the couch while Tiffany sat in a nearby chair.

Tiffany: So what are you up to today?

Dina: Tiff, have you ever wondered what was below the clouds?

Tiffany: Well, not really.

Jeff: Not really?

Tiffany: I just think that life her in Cloudnoia is pretty swell. It's very peaceful up here and I can spend time with my family and friends.

Dina: But haven't you ever wanted to see if there was a brand new world below the clouds?

Tiffany: Well, I guess seeing a brand new world would be nice to see. But I think I'm just happy here.

Jeff: Well, if you say so.

Later on Jeff and Dina were walking through the city of Cloudnoia.

Jeff: I hope someday, we can all go see what lies below the clouds. I certainly would like to prove my dad's theory of it being an empty barrier wrong.

Dina: My father is quite confident that it is not an empty barrier.

Jeff: Well, I guess all we can do is dream, right?

Dina:

Bananabeard's ship the made it's way to the sky of earth.

Bananabeard: OK, we're here everyone. Now let's all go down and cause some trouble.

The whole crew cheered and they all got into their floating boats and made their way down to the ground. They caused trouble in a city below the clouds. They went around smashing windows and robbing what was inside. Everyone on the ground was running and screaming from them. Up in the Daschman's library, Headmaster Daschman heard a glowing noise.

Headmaster: What? What's that?

Then, a mysterious book flew off the shelf and opened to reveal 5 Sky Bracelets.

Owen: Headmaster, what's happening?

Headmaster: I'm not sure, Owen, but I think the Sky Bracelets are reacting to some sort of evil power.

The Sky Bracelets then floated out of the book and out of the window.

Owen: Wait, where're they going?

Headmaster: They could be searching for the chosen ones.

Jeff and Dina were still speaking when two of the Sky Bracelets showed up and put themselves onto their wrists. The Red one went onto Jeff and the Purple one went onto Dina.

Jeff: (Looks at his Sky Bracelet) What? What's this?

Dina: (Looks at hers as well) This is strange.

The Blue Sky Bracelet went over to Reggie, the Yellow one went to Tiffany and the Green one went to Marcus. They were all surprised at what had happened. Back with Jeff and Dina, they noticed their Sky Bracelets glowing as if to guide them somewhere.

Dina: I think they're telling us to go somewhere.

Jeff: I think you're right. Let's let them guide us.

So they followed the beeping sound that the bracelets made. Whenever they got closer, the beeping went faster. Soon, all five of our heroes showed up at the Daschsman's library.

Jeff: What's this? Marcus? Reggie?

Dina: Tiffany? You all have one, two?

Tiffany: Yeah, but we don't know what they are.

Jeff: I think we better go in and see.

Dina: But I can't believe it's at my father's library.

So all five of them came in, the Headmaster and Owen were surprised to see them.

Headmaster: Oh my. It looks like all of your were chosen?

Reggie: Chosen? For what? To wear a fancy bracelet?

The Headmaster picked up the book where the bracelets came out from.

Headmaster: These bracelets are not just ordinary bracelets, they are the Sky Bracelets. According to this book, 6 chosen heroes of these bracelets will have the ability to turn into SkyRangers and fight against the evil Captain Bananabeard.

Marcus: Captain Bananabeard?

Dina: He must be the pirate from Father's story.

Jeff: Wait a minute. Did it say 6 heroes? There's only 5 of us. So where's the other one?

Headmaster: Hmmm. That's kind of odd. I only saw 5 come out. The 6th one must be missing somewhere.

Tiffany: Well if it's missing somewhere, you better go and find it then.

????: There's no time for that now.

Jeff: Who said that?

????: Look out the window.

Everyone went to the window and there were 5 giant robotic birds. One Red, One Blue, One Purple, One Yellow, and One Green.

Red Bird: We are the legendary Bird Guardians. A long time ago, our creators sent us to banish Captain Bananabeard and his crew into space. We made this floating land you now call Cloudonia because we knew that one day, Captain Bananabeard and his ship would return.

Reggie: What does that have to do with us?

Red Bird: You 5 must travel with us to the land below the clouds to stop Bananabeard and his crew from taking over.

Jeff: Wait, travel below the clouds? You mean, we get to see the land below?

Red Bird: Indeed you will.

Jeff: This is so awesome.

Dina: Hold on a moment, the book said there were suppose to be six heroes, but only five of us are here. And there's also only 5 of you.

Red Bird: Oh yes. You see, our sixth companion was greatly injured during our battle with Bananabeard. He had to remain on the surface to heal. Because of his injuries, the Orange Sky Bracelet has been lost. As long as he continues to heal, the sixth member cannot come to be yet. So for right now, it's just the five of you.

Reggie: Well, I'm up for it.

Marcus: Me too.

Red Bird: Great. Captain Bananabeard is attacking a city below the clouds right now. Climb on board and we will take you there.

The Headmaster continued to read the book.

Headmaster: It also says here that when you lift your Sky Bracelets up into the sky and hits sunlight, you'll be powered up.

Jeff: OK. Come on, guys. Our adventure waits.

Jeff got on board the red bird, Dina the purple bird, Reggie the blue bird, Tiffany the yellow bird, and Marcus the green bird.

Headmaster: Do be careful down there. There's no telling what this Bananabeard could be up to.

Dina: We got it, Father.

And with that, the Bird Guardians flew to the land below the clouds. Our heroes watched as they went through the clouds to see land below.

Jeff: I don't believe it. There is land below the clouds. Take that, Dad.

Dina: Now Jeff, you shouldn't be so boastful.

Jeff: Sorry.

Soon they arrived on the surface and climbed out. They looked around.

Jeff: So this is what the world below the clouds looks like.

Dina: Yeah. It's just amazing.

Reggie: I wonder if there are any ponds with lily pads for me to jump onto.

Marcus: Reg, focus.

Reggie: Sorry.

Jeff: Now let's meet up with this Captain Bananabeard shall we.

So Jeff lead his friends into a nearby city where Captain Bananabeard was attacking.

Bananabeard: Yes, soon you will all be serving me. I will demand all of your treasures. You better bring them to me of else.

Our heroes then came face to face with Captain Bananabeard.

Jeff: So, you're Captain Bananabeard?

Bananabeard: Huh? What? Who are you?

Jeff: We have come here from Cloudnoia to stop you.

Dina: For we were the chosen ones to become the Skyrangers.

Soon, all of Captain Bananabeard's crew came in.

Lizahim: What's going on, Captain? Who are all of these guys?

Bananabeard: These guys claim they have come to stop us.

Wither Vain: And how exactly will you stop us?

Jeff: Like this. Let's do it everyone.

All: Sky Changer!

Everyone then rose their fists with the Sky Bracelets up to let the sun shine onto them. With that they transformed into the Soaring Squadron, Skyranger.

Bananabeard: Intriguing.

Jeff: Sky Red, Jeff!

Dina: Sky Violet, Dina!

Reggie: Sky Blue, Reggie!

Tiffany: Sky Yellow, Tiffany!

Marcus: Sky Green, Marcus!

Jeff: We are the heroes of the sky, we are the Soaring Squadron,

All: Skyranger!

Bananabeard: You really think silly costumes will be enough to stop me?

Jeff: Well, we'll just have to find out. Alright guys, let's do this.

The SkyRangers then went into action each dealing with a set of Captain Bananabeard's foot soldiers, the Bankies. They all did fist attacks on the Bankies as well as kicks and punches. (A montage showing the SkyRangers fighting a group of them is shown)

Dina: (After attacking some Bankies) Haha. Take that you little monkeys.

Reggie: (Jumped like a frog on the Bankies' heads) Hehe. This is so amazing. I never thought I could be a hero. Wahoo.

Tiffany: (Hits them and punches them, one even tried to attack her, but she back kicks it) You should never sneak up on a deer like that.

Marcus: (Attacking some Bankies himself) I don't see why you guys like bananas, why don't you eat leaves like a koala? (Hits one)

Jeff: (Attacks some Bankies and then karate chops them) Hiyah! Take that you little monkeys.

Soon all the Bankies had been beaten.

Panthina: Captain, they've managed to beat the Bankies.

Bananabeard: Fine then, we're going back to our ship in the sky, but we'll return to attack with new forces.

The pirates the got into their boats and floated back into the sky.

Jeff: Oh my. This battle was great. It was a bit difficult, though.

Dina: The fight to defeat Bananabeard won't be an easy one. But this world below the clouds depends on us.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The Soaring Squadron, Skyranger has come into existence to protect earth from Captain Bananabeard. But knowing how easy their first fight was, they know down the road it will get harder.

Will be continued next chapter...
