Justice Squadron: Comicger Returns Part 2 (Transcript)

Here's part 2 of the Return Special for Justice Squadron: Comicger.

Last time on "Justice Squadron: Comicger Returns," a monster from Stanley Chippendale's beginnings on the Comicgers comic book series known as the Mad Cackler has gathered a group of monsters that have escaped being sent back to the comics by the Comicgers, and decided to plot their revenge against them during their high school graduation. However, David and Stanley have another problem on their hands: Eliza Chippendale, Stanley's ex-wife, has returned to Petropolis to have David move in with her in L.A. to have him live a proper life. While that was going on, the Club of Monsters, as the Mad Cackler dubbed his new alliance, have already kidnapped the other Comicgers, and were plotting to kill them later. Linda managed to predict what was gonna happen, and escaped from them to warn the Chippendales. As she and David were fighting with the Mad Cackler and his monsters, Linda was captured. Before David could go out to rescue her, Eliza demanded that he turn over his Comic Turner to her, and stop being a Comicger for good. Will he turn it in, or defy her, and rescue his friends? Read on to find out.

After the battle against the Mad Cackler, Termi-Gator, and Slammerhead, Eliza asked David to turn over his Comic Turner. But, before he could do so, Stanley interjected, remembering something she told his son previously.

Stanley: Now, hold on a second! Eliza, didn't you promise that David will think about his choice until AFTER graduation?

David: What?

Eliza: But, Stanley! You saw David and Linda fight those comic book creations of yours! I can't have him going out and continuing this nonsense any further!

Stanley: I know what I saw! Now, I'm usually a very patient and tolerant man, but if there's one thing I CANNOT stand for, it's when someone doesn't keep their word after making a promise. And, this is a prime example of such.

Eliza: But, Stanley...

Stanley: No buts! Now, let David keep his Comic Turner until further notice.

Eliza: (looking at both her husband and her son, and sighs) Alright, David. You can remain a Comicger for now.

David: Alright! Thanks, Mom.

Eliza: But, don't get used to it, though! This doesn't change much!

David: I guess so.

Gerald: (feeling relieved)  What a relief.

Harold: Yeah, I thought it was gonna be all over for him.

Stanley: Now then, what is it that you two wanted to come over to my place for?

Gerald: Oh! I was curious if you were interested in playing the Comicgers' theme song as they walked up to get their diplomas.

Stanley: (thinking about it) Hmmmmmm. I'm not really sure. I mean, I don't think that we even have a theme song. But, I'm sure we can find something, even IF it's in Japanese.

Gerald: Okay.

Harold: I don't know about this.

David: But, first, we gotta figure out a way to rescue the other Comicgers, and fast!

Gerald: Yeah! We'd rescue them ourselves, but we're not the rescuer type.

Harold: Yeah, we're not even good at it, among other things.

David: Well, after all those crazy attempts to try and figure out who we were, it should come as no surprise.

Gerald: No need to pour salt on the wound, dude.

David: (shrugs)

Stanley: We'll have plenty of time to play the blame game later. Right now, let's all head over to my studio, and get right down to it.

David, Stanley, Eliza, Gerald, and Harold quickly made their way to Crystal Comics Deluxe, where Stanley's new studio was located, to figure out a way to rescue the other Comicgers. Meanwhile, Katie wakes up in a dungeon located in the head of the Styx Destructor, and she notices Paul waking up right next to her.

Katie: Ugh.... Paul, is that you?

Paul: Katie! Man, am I glad to see you! Were you brought here by Koala-Rang as well?

Katie: Koala-Rang?!? No, I was brought here by Rose Brawl, who came from the Comicger comics! He stopped by my house with a bouquet of roses, and put me to sleep with his sleeping powder.

Paul: Really? 'Cause I'm pretty sure Koala-Rang brought me here.

Katie: Yeah. Have you contacted the others?

Alyssa: (creeping up to her on a cane) Try asking that yourself, deary.

Katie: (screaming at the sight of Alyssa's old age) AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! (recognizing her) Alyssa, is that you? The years haven't been that kind to you!

Alyssa: Yes, it's me. Granny Agem from the comics took my youth and beauty, and now I'm an old otter.

Paul: Man, that IS strange!

William: (from the cell next door) Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee gooooooooooooot iiiiiiiiiiiiiit muuuuuuuuuuuuuch woooooooooooorse!

\*Paul, Katie, and Alyssa look on to see William, who was still slow from Speed Shell, and Monica completely stuffed with straw from Shear Crow, in the cell next to them.\*

Katie: WHOA!!!! What happened to YOU guys?!?

Monica: Well, Shear Crow stopped by my house recently, and he filled me up with straw! Now, I look like a giant, reptilian bowling ball! As for William, he told me, very slowly, I may add, that Speed Shell zapped him with his slow-mo spell, and now he's slower than a sloth swimming in molasses in January!

William: Nooooooooooo neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed toooooooooooooo beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee soooooooooooooo bluuuuuuuuuuunt abooooouuuuuut iiiiiiiiiiit!

Monica: Sorry.

Aaron: (from the next cell over) Guys, is that you?

Paul: (seeing Aaron and Julian next door) Aaron! Julian! How'd you guys get here?

Aaron: Well, a lobster monster named Crusty Clawbster came by to kidnap me, and Julian just had a run-in with Bonehead from the comics as well. Now, he's in the corner, sniveling and crying like a baby!

Julian: (feeling cowardly) No, please! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!

Aaron: See?

Katie: Oh, dear. This is weird. Have Steve, Maple, and Linda been captured as well?

Steve: (from the cell across from them) Yup. We're over here.

Maple: Steve and I were working at Crystal Comics Deluxe, when suddenly, Barb Urchin and Solar Flare from the comics appeared, and captured us! I have a feeling that they might've joined forces to get back at us for what we did to their master.

Linda: It would seem so, Maple. I actually predicted that there was a strong force at work here! I know this because Jackalina from the comics stopped at my fortune teller shop, and tried to capture me. Luckily, I was able to escape, and went over to David's house to warn him and Stanley about what was going on. However, Termi-Gator and Slammerhead, along with some weird jester monster, came by to try and do the same thing to me and David. I was unfortunately captured, and brought here as well.

Paul: Do you think that they might be plotting to get their revenge on us?

Steve: Judging from what's been happening, that's a definite yes. But, once we morph, we'll be outta here in no time!

Maple: Uh.... just one problem. (shows Steve her wrist where her Platinum Turner was supposed to be) They removed our Comic Turners!

Steve: What? (looks at his wrist to see his Liberty Turner gone) Oh, rats!

Aaron: (looking at his wrist as well) She's right! Our Comic Turners have been taken from us when we got here. We'll have to think of something else in order to beat them!

Katie: Oh, dear. I'm kinda nervous about what they're gonna do to us. Who knows what they're plotting right now!

Meanwhile, in the Club of Monsters' meeting room, Granny Agem was actually showing the rest of the monsters baby pictures of Darkanos when he was beginning his evil reign of tyranny.

Granny Agem: And, here's a photo of my grandson when he conquered his preschool class, and made his classmates his slaves! (shows them another photo of him) And, here's a photo of him burning down a space station at only two years old!

Solar Flare: (unimpressed) Yeah, I can see that.

Speed Shell: Geez, I dunno what's more boring: waiting to destroy the Comicgers, or listening to Granny Agem blather about her grandson?

Koala-Rang: I'm gonna say the latter, mate.

Speed Shell: Whatever you say.

Slammerhead was actually discussing his suggestion on how to destroy the Comicgers with Crusty Clawbster.

Slammerhead: Okay, okay! Here's my suggestion on how to destroy the Comicgers. I was thinking of hammering them into square holes! Pretty evil, huh?

Crusty Clawbster: (unimpressed) Yeah.....

Slammerhead: Well, if you don't think my idea isn't evil enough, lemme hear YOUR idea!

Crusty Clawbster: Okay! What I'M thinkin' is that we should put 'em all in a boiling pot, and when they're done, we'll butter them up! Let's see how THEY like it!

Slammerhead: (not liking it) Yeesh! No need to be specist, will ya?

Crusty Clawbster: What?

The Mad Cackler then came in to ask the other monsters on what they can do with the Comicgers.

Mad Cackler: Alright, my fellow monsters! Let's discuss on how we'll dispose of our enemies, the Comicgers.

Termi-Gator: Well, Crusty Clawbster and Slammerhead gave THEIR suggestions of boiling them in water, and hammering them into holes, but I think we should dunk them in a pool of molten metal!

Mad Cackler: Hmmmmmmmm. Your idea DOES sound promising....

Speed Shell: Let's chop 'em up, and turn 'em into soup!

Solar Flare: I say we expose 'em to the hot sun in the middle of Death Valley!

Barb Urchin: Make 'em sleep on a bed of spikes!

Shear Crow: Put 'em through a hay bailin' machine!

Granny Agem: Put ice cubes down their shorts!

The Club of Monsters look at Granny Agem as if she was nuts.

Granny Agem: From the ice caps located at the Northern Pole of the Planet Toxoid!

Club of Monsters: Ooooooooooh!

Rose Brawl: Yeah, you never mentioned Planet Toxoid! It's a very acidic planet!

Bonehead: I agree.

Koala-Rang: I say we lock 'em in a room with Justin Beaver! I mean, listening to his music is torture enough already!

Jackalina: I think the Mad Cackler is going for evil, Koala-Rang, not suicidal!

Koala-Rang: Really?

Jackalina: Probably so. (turns to the Mad Cackler) As for me, I don't really care about the others. I just want to make up for my failure to capture Comic Orange, and destroy her myself.

Crusty Clawbster: Ooooooooooo. Do I detect a hint of vengeance in her voice?

Speed Shell: Sure sounds like it.

Mad Cackler: Everyone, these are all good ideas on how to get rid of them, but I have an idea on how we can REALLY accomplish that deed!

Slammerhead: We're listenin'.

Mad Cackler: Well, first, I plan on injecting them with a highly venomous toxin that would cause them to smile uncontrollably, and to the point of insanity! They'll be so overcome with joy, they'll practically be begging to be put out of their misery! So, I had a rocket specially built just for them. I plan on using it to fire it directly into the sun, where they'll be burnt to a crisp in the intense heat! So, in layman's terms, bye-bye Comicgers!

Rose Brawl: (liking the sound of it) Ooooooooooohhhhhhh. That sounds very evil and heartless. I love it!

Shear Crow: Me too!

Solar Flare: That was MY idea! But, at least I know that he has good taste.

Club of Monsters: We're all in agreement!

Mad Cackler: Excellent! Now, we just need to wait for Comic Red to come here, and try to rescue his pathetic friends! Then, we'll overwhelm him with the shear number of monsters in the club, take his Comic Turner, and throw him in the dungeon with his friends! And then, we'll throw 'em directly to the sun! Soon, Petropolis will be ours! (cackles evilly)

Back down in the dungeon, Katie was putting her sewing skills to good use, and making a disguise for her to use to escape from the Styx Destructor's head, and get help from David and Stanley. The others look on to see what's going on.

Alyssa: Eh, either my memory is starting to go, or Katie is making some kinda ladder to get out of her cell.

Katie: Uh... no. This is a disguise for me to use to get to Crystal Comics Deluxe to get David's help! I'm using that rusty old chain as my ladder outta here! (points at a chain that she plans to use as her ladder)

Julian: It's hopeless, I tell you! There's no hope!

Aaron: Yeah, the loss of his backbone is REALLY starting to get to him.

Linda: (deciding to come with her) I'm coming with you! David and Mr. Chippendale might need some more insight on what's going on!

Maple: So am I! I gotta get outta here!

Katie: Okay, Maple! You and Linda take some rags from the cots, and start fashioning some disguises out of them. As best as you could, at least.

Linda: Right! (goes over to the rags, and begins to fashion disguises for her and Maple)

Steve: Hey! What about ME? I wanna be part of this escape plot, too!

Maple: Oh, okay Steve. You can start by... uh... (looking at the lock on the cell door) Picking the lock on the cell door.

Steve: How?

Linda: Have you tried using your talons as lockpicks?

Steve: (looking at his talons) Huh. Never really thought about that. I'll give it a shot. (starts using the talons to pick the lock on the cell door)

He was trying very hard to successfully pick the lock, and sure enough, he manages to pick it.

Steve: (not believing that it worked) Huh. Whaddaya know? It worked!

Maple: (finishing her disguise) Excellent! Now, let's go over to Katie's cell!

They quickly rush over to Katie's cell, and he picks the lock with his talons. He manages to get the cell door unlocked, and they rush inside. Then, the girls quickly put on their disguises, making them look like they're wearing cloaks that covered their bodies.

Steve: Hey, wait a second! Don't I get a disguise, too?

Katie: (quickly looks around, and sees an old vase in the corner of her cell) Here. This'll do! (breaks two eye holes out of it, and puts it over Steve's head)

Steve: Gee, thanks.

Katie: Yeah, it's the best I can do under short notice.

Paul: Aaron and I are coming with you as well!

Linda: No! You both need to stay here, and look after the others in their current state!

Monica: (agreeing with her) I hate to admit, dude. But, she's right. Besides, someone needs to give Alyssa her sponge bath sooner or later.

Alyssa: (filling a bucket of water for her sponge bath) Yeah, and the water here is very dirty.

William: Pleeaaaaaaaaase huuuuuuuuuuurrrrrry baaaaaaaaaaaack soooooooooooooon!

Katie: Don't worry, William! We will, soon! (starts heading down the chain, and out of the Styx Destructor's head)

Maple: (follows her) Just hang tight, everyone!

Aaron: We'll try to!

Katie, Steve, Maple, and Linda quickly climb down the chain, and safely land back on the ground. They look around to see if the coast was clear, and they quickly ran off, trying to find their way out of the forest. They make their way through the various foliage until they found a stretch of highway leading right into the city.

Maple: I'm pretty sure this stretch of highway leads right into the city.

Steve: It's a bit far to walk to Crystal Comics Deluxe!

Katie: Don't worry! (pulls her iPhone out) We'll uber to the store! It's a good thing those monsters don't believe in advanced communication technology, otherwise they would've confiscated my phone.

Linda: Oh, that would definitely help us out.

Then, Katie starts using her uber app to request a ride to Crystal Comics Deluxe. While at Crystal Comics Deluxe, David, Stanley, Gerald, Harold, and Eliza have told Big Louie what just happened, and they went to Stanley's new studio to brush up on how they're gonna stop the Mad Cackler. David and Stanley were reading through Issues #76 and #85 to find possible weaknesses for Termi-Gator and Slammerhead, Gerald and Harold were trying to get TUFF to loan them their satellite so they can use it to find the others, Big Louie was going through Stanley's file cabinet to find any evidence of the Mad Cackler, and Eliza just looks on confused.

Eliza: Is this how you try to figure out how to beat these things? Read more of those silly comic books?

David: Yeah, very much so. How else do you think we got so good at this?

Eliza: (starting to admire it a little) Well, I had no idea. (tries to convince herself otherwise) Not that... I would care, anyway.

Stanley: (approaching her with Issue #76) Well, maybe you can help us out, and try to read through this comic. Maybe it can give you a better idea on what we're up against.

Eliza: (hesitant about it) Oh, okay. I'll humor you, Stanley. (starts reading through the comic) Ah, so this is what the inside of one of these things looks like!

As Eliza was reading through the comic, Katie, Steve, Maple, and Linda arrive in their uber vehicle at the store. After paying the driver, they made their way inside, and started going upstairs to Stanley's studio. Once they arrived, they see that everyone's hard at work trying to figure out how to beat them.

David: Okay, Dad. So, Slammerhead doesn't like it when he gets his literal hammerhead stuck in the wall. Maybe we can goat him into slamming it into one!

Stanley: An excellent suggestion, son!

Katie: Well, that's one monster. But, there are still lots more for you guys to deal with.

Stanley: What? Who? (turns around to see the others in their disguises)

Gerald: (seeing them as well) AUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Muggers! (drops to his knees) Take whatever you want!

Harold: (dropping to his knees as well) Yeah! Just PLEASE don't slam us into submission!!!

Katie, Linda, Steve, and Maple: (confused)

Linda: Guys, relax! It's us! (removes her disguise to reveal herself)

Katie and Maple do the same, and Steve tries to as well, but his vase was stuck to his head.

Steve: Uh... a little help?

David: Oh, right! (does a karate chop on the vase, shattering it, and releasing Steve's head)

Steve: (taking a few deep breaths) Thanks. I needed that.

David: Don't mention it.

Big Louie: (going over to them and hugging them) Oh, I'm so relieved that you all made it out alright. But, what do you mean by lots of other monsters?

Katie: Well, the Mad Cackler has sent various other monsters to try and nab all of us one by one! For example, he sent Rose Brawl from Issue #96 of the comics to my house, and he was able to knock me out with sleeping powder while giving me a fake bouquet of flowers.

Big Louie: (finally getting it) Oh, now I remember! Barb Urchin and Solar Flare, from Issues #24 and #27 respectively, barged into the store while Steve, Maple, and I were working, and they nabbed them. I'm guessing it was the Mad Cackler who sent them.

Steve: Yeah, it's very likely, Big Louie.

Linda: And, I knew as well. I predicted that it was all happening.

David: THAT part we knew, Linda! Who else has the Mad Cackler got under his belt?

Maple: Paul stated that Koala-Rang from Issue #46 brought him to their hideout. He thought that we were brought there by him as well.

Steve: And, Aaron said he was brought there by Crusty Clawbster from Issue #99, too. However, William, Monica, Alyssa, and Julian got the worst of it all, I'm afraid.

Stanley: What do you mean?

Katie: Well, for starters, William became as slow as a bunch of sloths running a marathon, thanks to Speed Shell from Issue #40. And, Monica's stuffed with straw, courtesy of Shear Crow from Issue #83.

Stanley: Oh, dear.

Maple: And, now Julian's a sniveling, spineless coward thanks to Bonehead from Issue #13 pulling out his backbone.

Linda: However, Alyssa got it worse. She had a run-in with Granny Agem from Issue #5, and is now what Maple might look like in ten years!

Maple: (scowling at Linda)

Linda: Have I said something?

Stanley: Oh, this IS problematic! I don't think we've ever faced that many monsters before.

Linda: Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you until we got bombarded by the Mad Cackler and his cronies. So, now that there's a whole bunch of monsters, we're gonna need to increase our numbers again!

David: Y'know, you're right! We'll need to REALLY put our heads together on this!

Gerald: Yeah! In the meantime, Harold and I are trying to contact TUFF so they can lend us their satellite for us to use to find the others! So far, they haven't answered us back!

Steve: Oh.

David: Well, keep trying to contact them! In the meantime, Big Louie will check to see if there's any information on the Mad Cackler.

Big Louie: Don't worry, David. I'm on it!

Stanley: (getting nervous)

David: We'll get the other Issues those particular monsters appeared in, and brush up on any information on them! Now, Jackalina appeared in Issue #97, right?

Linda: Yes.

David: Oh, thank you. I sometimes can't keep track of all the issues my dad made. At any rate, let's go, you guys!

Then, they all started to brush up on their Comicger knowledge in hopes of defeating the Club of Monsters. Maple then walks by Eliza, who was still reading through Issue #76, and decides to introduce herself.

Maple: Hey! I didn't see you there, miss. Who are you?

Eliza: (looking up) Oh. My name's Eliza Chippendale. I'm Stanley's ex-wife, and David's mother.

Maple: Ah, another mom, eh? My name's Maple Howler, and I'm Comic Platinum on the Comicger team. I'm actually the mother of Sinthia Thorndyke, as well as wife of TOOR leader, Wreckage. Have you ever heard of them?

Eliza: Uh.... not really.

Maple: Well, I'll fill you in on 'em while we read up on our monster know-how. (sits down next to her) You reading up on Termi-Gator, are you not?

Eliza: Yes, I am.

Maple: Oh, that is MY favorite issue in the series! Y'see, in one scene, the Comicgers had to use corrosive materials on his robotic arm to keep him from using it, so...

As Maple and Eliza were talking, everyone else was hard at work trying to come up with a plan to rescue the other Comicgers. Stanley sees that Eliza and Maple are getting along so well, and gets an idea that just might work.

Stanley: Well, that's nice that Eliza's starting to get more comfortable with my job, unlike last time. Hmmmmmmmmm. Y'know what? I have another brilliant idea. (goes over to his desk, and starts scribbling some concept drawings)

While he was doing that, David, Katie, and Steve were still reading through the aforementioned issues so they can get a better idea on how to beat the Club of Monsters. Gerald and Harold were still trying to get a hold of TUFF so they can use the satellite again.

Katie: Anything, you guys?

Harold: Nothing yet, Katie. (suddenly gets a buzz on the phone) Wait! I think we got something!

Tammy: (voiceover) "This here is Tammy Cottontail of the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force! We are willing to follow through with your request. Just give us your address."

Gerald: YES!!! TUFF's responding!  Gimme the phone! (takes the phone from Harold) Okay, uh, we're at Crystal Comics Deluxe, um... right near the back of city hall.  (gets worried) I hope they know what I'm talkin' about. I ain't so good with addresses.

Steve: (rolling his eyes) Tell us something we DON'T know.

Gerald: (shrug)

Tammy: "Downloading satellite requirements to Crystal Comics Deluxe."

In a matter of seconds, TUFF's satellite gets downloaded into the TV in the studio, and a map image of Petropolis appears on screen. Gerald and Harold were overjoyed.

Gerald: We're in, you guys!

David: And, about time, too! We've just finished reading through all the issues we needed to combat the Club of Monsters.

Big Louie: Unfortunately, I haven't found much of anything about the Mad Cackler! I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper to find something.

David: Yeah, you do that, Big Louie! (uses the TV remote to control the satellite to locate the Club of Monsters' hideout)

Sure enough, David was able to find it. He was surprised to learn that it was fashioned out of the head of the Styx Destructor, since it's been two years since he and the others destroyed it.

David: Wow! The head of the Styx Destructor? I'd like to say I'm not surprised, but... I am.

Katie: Well, don't worry. We'll get 'em out, David.

David: I know!

Stanley: Alright! Since now we know where the others are located, we can begin to rescue them. However, with Katie, Steve, Maple, and Linda having no access to their abilities at the moment, you'll have to use the Super Phoenix Battle Armor to fly back there!

Steve: Good. I hate having to walk all the way back.

David: Okay, Dad. I'll distract the Mad Cackler and the other monsters while the others find the Comic Turners, and bring them to the others in the dungeon. Once the others get their powers back, we'll gang up on them, and defeat them!

Stanley: Very good, David. Eliza, Big Louie, and I will stay here, and work on something that I'm certain will defeat the Mad Cackler. Gerald and Harold are in charge of monitoring the satellite.

Gerald: You can count on us, Mr. Chippendale!

Harold: Uh, he can?

Gerald: Just do as he says, dude!

Linda: (unsure about that) Yeah, I'm not entirely sure about that.

Big Louie: Hey, at least they're doing something productive for once! But, at any rate, you'd better get going! Those monsters might be plotting something nasty right now!

David: Yeah, we'd better! (holds up his Comic Turner) Comic Turner, activate! (the Comic Turner converts to its original form) Comic Powers! Turn On! (flicks the on switch on his Comic Turner, morphs into his Ranger form, and pulls out his Phoenix Sword) Super Phoenix Powers! Turn On! (raises his sword, and activates his Super Phoenix Battle Armor) Hold on, everybody!

Katie, Steve, Maple, and Linda quickly hold onto David, and he flies out of the studio, and towards the forest.

Stanley: Good luck, you guys!

And so, David and the others flew through the sky towards the forest. Katie was able to see the Styx Destructor down on the ground, so David flew down, and they landed behind a couple bushes close to it. They hid behind them to plan their next move.

David: Okay, now what?

Katie: Well, I'm certain that at any moment, the monsters will realize that we're missing, and try to come looking for us!

Linda: (predicting that four of them are coming out right now) Which is gonna happen in... 3... 2... 1... NOW!

Solar Flare: FOUR OF THE COMICGERS ARE GONE!!!!!!!

Jackalina: They must be heading for that comic book store to warn our creator! We have to head out, and stop them!

Barb Urchin: Right! They couldn't have gotten far!

Just as Linda predicted, Solar Flare, Rose Brawl, Barb Urchin, and Jackalina went outside to search for the missing Comicgers. David sees this as a good opportunity to sneak in without them noticing.

Steve: (impressed) Wow! Good call, Linda!

Linda: Thank you.

David: This might be our best chance to sneak in without them knowing! Let's go!

They quickly sneak into the Styx Destructor's head without the monsters noticing them. Once they got inside, David decides to head out to find the Mad Cackler and the rest of the Club of Monsters while the others find the Comic Turners.

David: If I recall, I believe that Darkanos' throne room is in THAT direction! (points to his right) You guys head out to find the Comic Turners. Once you do, return them to the others in the dungeon, and meet me in the throne room!

Maple: Okay, David.

Katie: (getting worried about David) Oh, David. Please, be careful.

David: Katie, relax. I've been through worse. I think that these guys should be no problem.

Katie: Oh, okay. (gives David a quick kiss on the cheek) That's for luck.

David: Thanks. Well, see ya. (runs off to the throne room)

Steve: (thinking that the Comic Turners were in the opposite direction) I think the Comic Turners are THIS way!

Katie: Well, it's a good place to start out. Let's go!

Katie, Steve, Maple, and Linda quickly made their way down the hall in hopes of trying to find the Comic Turners. Back in the throne room, the Mad Cackler starts sitting on Darkanos' throne, getting a feel for it.

Mad Cackler: (liking the feel of the throne) Hmmmmmm. You know, I actually kinda like this throne. I guess "Emperor Mad Cackler" has a nice ring to it.

David: Well, don't get TOO comfortable, Pagliacci! 'Cause I'm comin' for ya!  (barges into the throne room with his Phoenix Sword drawn) I'm back, baby!

Mad Cackler: Ah, Comic Red! I see you've had a change in wardrobe!

David: Yeah! This armor's so hot, it's gonna burn that stupid grin off your face!

Mad Cackler: (seeing this as the perfect opportunity) In fact, your arrival is opportune. Because after my monstrous friends capture your missing friends, you'll be joining them in your ultimate downfall! (snaps his fingers) Alright, monsters! Bring him to me!

Then, Koala-Rang, Speed Shell, Termi-Gator, Shear Crow, Crusty Clawbster, Bonehead, Slammerhead, and Granny Agem started charging at David, ready to fight him. David decides to go after the monsters that transformed William, Monica, Julian, and Alyssa first, since he needed their help as well as the other Comicgers. As he did so, he was stopped by Koala-Rang, and he tried to throw his boomerangs at him.

Koala-Rang: Get ready to get 'ranged. (throws his boomerangs at him)

David: Man, that was a bad joke. (uses his Phoenix Sword to deflect the boomerangs)

After he did so, David proceeded to battle with Koala-Rang. Meanwhile, Katie, Steve, Maple, and Linda were looking for the Comic Turners so they can get their powers back and help David.

Katie: (feeling concerned for David's safety) Oh, I hope that David's fine on his own.

Maple: (trying to assure Katie) Katie. He said he'll be fine. Would he even be the leader of the Comicgers just out of shear dumb luck?

Katie: Well.... uh... no. I don't think he did. It's just that...

Maple: (finally figuring it out) You like him, don't you?

Katie: (blushing like mad) WHAT?!? No, it's just that... (finally caves) Yeah, I guess I kinda do.

Maple: Look, Katie. It's completely normal for people to be concerned for those they have feelings for. I mean, I know I get worried whenever Sin goes out to fight some crime. It's just something that comes naturally for most people.

Katie: (giggling) Yeah. I suppose it is.

Maple: (giggles)

Linda: (seeing what she thinks are the Comic Turners in a display case) Guys! I think those might be the Comic Turners!

Katie: C'mon!

They quickly rush towards the case, and Linda has a hunch that it's the Comic Turners. Steve breaks through the glass, and he starts using his talons to pick the lock on the case. He manages to do so, and the Comic Turners were in there in tact, confirming Linda's assumption.

Steve: Yup! Here they are! And, in tact as well!

Linda: Told ya so.

Maple: Quick, let's get ours on! (grabs her Platinum Turner)

After Katie, Steve, and Linda get theirs as well, Rose Brawl, Solar Flare, Barb Urchin, and Jackalina appear before them angry that they've escaped.

Rose Brawl: So, you thought you could pull a fast one on us by runnin' off to get help, eh? Well, we won't stand for it! Won't we, guys?

Solar Flare: Yeah!

Katie: You stay away from us, Rose Brawl! Now that we got our powers back, you're in for a world of hurt!

Barb Urchin: Well, super-powered or not, you're gonna be in for an even bigger world of hurt!

Steve: We'll see about THAT! (holds up his Liberty Turner) Ready, girls?

Katie, Maple, and Linda: (holding up theirs) Ready! Comic Turners, activate! (the Comic Turners convert to their original forms)

Katie + Linda: Comic Powers!

Steve: Liberty Powers!

Maple: Platinum Powers!

Katie, Linda, Steve, and Maple: Turn On! (flicking the on switch on their Comic Turners, and morphing into their Ranger forms)

Linda: (collecting the remaining Comic Turners) I'll take these down to the dungeon to help the others! You guys deal with these creeps!

Steve: Okay, Linda! But, be careful!

Linda: I will! (runs down to the dungeon with the Comic Turners)

Jackalina: I'm going after Comic Orange! I have a score to settle with her.

Barb Urchin: Yeah, whatever, honey.

Then, Jackalina runs after Linda, leaving Barb Urchin, Solar Flare, and Rose Brawl to face the other Comicgers.

Rose Brawl: Why don't you wake up, and smell the roses? We're more powerful than you all!

Steve: Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Let's go!

Then, Katie, Steve, and Maple began fighting with Rose Brawl, Solar Flare, and Barb Urchin. Back in the throne room, David had just defeated Koala-Rang, and proceeds to make his way towards Speed Shell. Speed Shell decides to use his newly acquired speed from William to try and outrun him.

Speed Shell: Give it up, you fiery has-been! You don't have what it takes to keep up with me!

David: Oh, we'll see about that! (tries to catch up to Speed Shell)

As David was trying to fight Speed Shell, but his speed was too much for him. Just then, Speed Shell stops to try and use his beam from his heart rate monitor to try and steal David's speed, but David sees this as an opportunity to strike.

David: Now's my chance! (thrusts his Phoenix Sword towards the monitor)

He then strikes the monitor, causing it to shatter, and release William's speed from his possession. It eventually finds William in the dungeon, and it magically returns to him, making him fast again.

William: Hey! (starts feeling fast again) I can talk fast again! I'm quick and speedy again! I've never felt better.

Speed Shell: Darn it! How'd you know that striking my heart rate monitor would release my captured speed?

David: Because you only prefer to slow down to steal more speed for you to use! That leaves you vulnerable to an attack! Now, hold still! (fires a blast of fire at Speed Shell, knocking him backwards)

David then gets confronted with Crusty Clawbster, who strikes at him with his claws. As David was blocking the strikes with his Phoenix Sword, he notices a hole in the floor (possibly from the battle at the series' finale), and tries to goat Crusty Clawbster into striking him there.

David: (falling down) Oh, no! I'm totally helpless!

Crusty Clawbster: Good! This'll be TOO easy! (strikes down at David with his claws)

At the last second, David jumps out of the way, and Crusty Clawbster gets his claw stuck in the hole. After leaping over him, he confronts Shear Crow, who comes at him with his cane.

David: How about a little fire, Shear Crow?  (shoots a fiery blast at Shear Crow)

Shear Crow: (sees his arm on fire) AUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!! FIRE!!! (drops and rolls to put it out)

But, as he did that, the effects of the fire were also effecting the straw in Monica's graduation gown, making her look puffy. As they burned away, Monica reverted back to her original shape.

Monica: Hey! I'm back to my old self! And, lookin' sexier than ever.

William: Just how I like it, baby.

David then makes his way towards Granny Agem, and she starts slashing her claws at him. David quickly dodges, but he knows her one weakness.

David: You fight pretty well for an old crone, Granny Agem. However, I happen to know your one weakness.

Granny Agem: (gulps) You do?

David: Yes! No old coot can resist a nice, refreshing drink of... (pulls out a bottle of prune juice, and pops the cap off of it) Prune juice! (sticks the bottle in her mouth) Bottoms up.

He then makes Granny Agem drink the prune juice. As she was drinking, David swings the Phoenix Sword at her apron, which contains Alyssa's youth and beauty, and strikes at it, releasing it. It eventually finds Alyssa, who was just having a nap on her cell's cot. When she woke up, she was feeling revitalized from her youth again.

Alyssa: Uh, what? What happened? (gets up, and goes over to a puddle to see her reflection) Oh my Goodness! I'm young! Oh, I'm beautiful again!

Paul: Great!

David then sweep kicks Granny Agem, and makes his way towards Bonehead. Bonehead flips in front of him, and proceeds to fight him. After Bonehead threw a roundhouse kick at David, he grabs it with his right arm, and uses the Phoenix Sword in his left hand to strike at the sack on his belt, containing Julian's backbone.

David: Care to donate some bones to me? (slashes at the sack, opening it)

Bonehead: NO!!!!!

Then, the backbone magically levitates out of the torn sack, and it starts making its way back to Julian, who was still cowering in the corner of his cell, while Aaron looks on annoyed. The backbone eventually makes it back in his back, returning his bravery and self-confidence to him.

Julian: (feeling braver than ever) Bring on those comic book rejects! Oh, that feels better.

Aaron: And, about time, too.

Linda: (appearing with the Comic Turners) Ah, great! You guys are back to normal! Quick, use these to bust out! (throws the Comic Turners back to the Comicgers)

William: (putting his on) Thanks, Linda! Ready, guys?

Monica, Alyssa, Paul, Aaron, and Julian: (putting theirs on) Ready!

Comicgers: Comic Turners, activate! (the Comic Turners convert to their original forms) Comic Powers! Turn On! (flicking the on switch on their Comic Turners, and morphing into their Ranger forms)

They then use their powers to bust out of their cells, and join up with Linda. Just then, Jackalina catches up to Linda, and sees the Comicgers out of their cells.

Jackalina: So, you've finally got your powers back, didn't you? Well, you won't have them for long.

Linda: You guys go, and help David out! I'll deal with dogface here!

William: She's right! I need to loosen my joints after being in that cell for so long! Let's get crackin'!

Aaron: C'mon!

The Comicgers head out of the dungeon, leaving Linda to fight Jackalina herself.

Jackalina: Time to put you down!

Linda: I was gonna say the same about you! (throws a kick at Jackalina)

Then, Linda and Jackalina started fighting with each other. Back in the throne room, David was fighting with Termi-Gator and Slammerhead, and Crusty Clawbster was able to get his claw out of the hole, and join in the fight. They got David cornered and were ready to do him in.

Termi-Gator: Hasta la vista, ya big baby!

Slammerhead: Sorry it had to end like this, but hey, all good things must come to an end.

However, before they could land the final blow on David, the other Comicgers show up to stop them. William swings his Sketch Hammer at the three monsters, knocking them out of the way.

William: Not so fast, buddy! You'll have to get past us, first!

Mad Cackler: (seeing that they've escaped) What?!? They're free! Get them!

Then, the monsters begin fighting with the freed Comicgers. Crusty Clawbster starts swinging his claws at Aaron, which he blocks with his Sketch Mace, hoping not to get pinched by him. Speed Shell runs towards William to try and steal his speed again. However, William learned his lesson from last time, and uses his Sketch Hammer to fight him off. While that was going on, Monica was using her Art Laser in sword mode to fight with Shear Crow, who was coming at her with his cane.

Shear Crow: I hope y'all didn't mind being filled with straw.

Monica: I did, but it was an interesting experience to say the least.  (swings her Art Laser at him)

Back down in the dungeon, Linda was still fighting with Jackalina. Jackalina was swinging her spears at her, and she was dodging them quickly, and striking back with her Sketch Fans. They continued fighting towards an open cell, and Linda gets an idea.

Linda: Looks like it's time you got sent to the kennel, Jackalina.

Jackalina: I have no intention of being locked up!

Linda: You sure about that? (dodges a strike from Jackalina's spear)

Just as she did, Linda shoves Jackalina into the cell, and closes the door on her. She locks it up tight so she can't escape.

Linda: Looks like you're getting ten years in jail, with time off for immature behavior! Well, gotta fly. (runs off to join the others)

Jackalina: (shaking her fist at Linda in defeat) You haven't heard the last of me! You can't keep a good monster down!

Meanwhile, Paul was using his Sketch Escrimas to deflect the boomerangs from Koala-Rang, and proceeds to fight him head on. Beside him, Alyssa was striking her Sketch Trident at Granny Agem, and Granny Agem tries to use her aging beam on her to steal her youth again. But, Alyssa knew better, and fires a jet of water from her Sketch Trident, dosing the beam. Meanwhile, Julian and Bonehead were fighting each other, and Julian slashes his Sketch Claws at him.

Bonehead: You cad! I liked you better as a sniveling coward!

Julian: Sorry. I prefer to be brave! (slashes his Sketch Claws at him)

Back at Crystal Comics Deluxe, Big Louie, Gerald, and Harold left Stanley's studio because they had to look after the store, leaving Stanley and Eliza alone. As Stanley was monitoring the TV, he sees Eliza finishing up on reading through some of the Comicger comics, and went over to talk to her about them.

Stanley: Ah, I see you've been reading through the Comicgers comics, Eliza.

Eliza: Yeah, I have. At first, I thought that comic books were nothing but silly little stories that turned people into total pop culture-obsessed idiots. But, after reading through these comics, I think I'm starting to appreciate them more. If I had known that you had so much love and affection for this kind of stuff, I never would have left you and David.

Stanley: Well, it's a very demanding career, if you ask me. Deadlines to meet, fans to please, making sure the quality is in control. It's actually pretty hard. But, at least I now know that you appreciate the hard work I put into each issue.

Eliza: Yeah. In fact, I'm starting to have second thoughts on forcing David to move back to L.A. with me. I mean, I said it was his choice, but, uh...

Stanley: Now, stop, and ask yourself this question: Is David making this choice for himself, or is he making this choice for you?

Eliza: (starts to realize what Stanley said to her) Well, when you put it THAT way...

Just then, the TV goes off, and the satellite footage shows the Comicgers fighting with the Club of Monsters, and were eventually joined by Katie, Steve, and Maple, still fighting with Barb Urchin, Rose Brawl, and Solar Flare. Stanley looks at it, and decides that they need some help.

Stanley: Oh my goodness! It seems that David and the others are in over their heads!

Eliza: (looking at the footage herself) Looks evenly matched to me. (sees David fighting with Termi-Gator and Slammerhead) I stand corrected.

Stanley: With or without the others' help, our son needs more help! In fact, I've been working on something that might help him! (goes over to his desk, and pulls out a drawing he did) We'll need this in order to help him!

Eliza: (getting a good look at it) You're kidding, right?

Stanley: (with a stern look on his face) Do I look like I'm joking?

Eliza: Actually, no. If you were joking, I'd probably be lying on the floor laughing my guts out.

Stanley: I didn't think so. So, I must ask, my loving wife: Do you trust me?

Eliza: (thinking deeply about it) Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Yes. Yes, I trust you.

Stanley: Good. Now, let's get going! (uses the gemstone on his pencil to bring what he drew to life)

Back at the Styx Destructor, David was still fighting with Termi-Gator and Slammerhead, and he sees Linda arriving at the battle just in time to help him out.

David: Oh, Linda! Thanks for showin' up!

Linda: No problem. Now, I'll take croc-boy here! (strikes her Sketch Fans at Termi-Gator)

Termi-Gator: I'd like to see you try! (strikes his metallic arm at Linda)

While Linda was fighting with Termi-Gator, Katie was busy battling with Rose Brawl. She uses her Art Laser in sword mode, and slashes away at him, while he strikes back by shooting some thorny vines at her. Maple was dodging a couple of strikes from Barb Urchin's spiked mace, and sweep kicks her. She also tries not to hit her in her spikes to avoid hurting herself, and chops her in her neck. Steve was dealing with Solar Flare, blocking the blasts from his solar blasts with his Holo-Shield. He then proceeds to fight him probably, and throws a couple of punches at him. Back with David, he decides to trick Slammerhead into slamming his hammer head into the wall.

David: Hey, buddy! I bet you can't bash my brains over here!

Slammerhead: Well, I bet I can! Now, hold still! (gets ready to bash his head)

David quickly gets out of the way, and Slammerhead gets his hammer head stuck in the wall. David then proceeds to blast him with a fire blast, sending him through the wall.

David: Huh. I can't believe he fell for that!

Mad Cackler: (getting up to confront David) I'm very impressed, Mr. Chippendale. Now, you have one more challenge to face: me!

David: (realizing he's not prepared for this) Uh-oh!

However, before the Mad Cackler could attack David, he gets hit by two different colored beams: a gold one and a white one. He gets blasted back into the throne, and he falls backwards into it. Then, everyone stops fighting to see where the blast came from. It turns out that the blast came from two brand new Comicgers: a male gold one with a sun motif wielding a sun sword, and a female white one with a moon motif wielding a moon staff. The Comicgers themselves look on with shock and confusion, especially David.

David: What the...? Who on Earth are THEY?

TO BE CONCLUDED...
