Mud With Power (Transcript)

This is the 7th episode of Dragon Squadron: Draconightger.

(Stock footage from Chapter 6 is shown)

Platia managed to find the first of the legendary Draconight creatures. Deep within an old abandoned mine that was closed down years ago when the miners had thought they had found a monster. But as it turned out, it was the Draconight Unicorn the whole time. With him by their side, the Draconightgers now have a new formation of DraconightOh.

(Cuts to Harry's house with all the Draconightgers and Platia in Harry's attic)

Kathleen: How did Draconight Unicorn react when the miners thought he was a monster?

Platia: He couldn't understand your language at the time, but once he learned it, he couldn't believe that everyone thought he was a monster the whole time.

Jase: So he didn't take that news all that well?

Platia: He has since gotten over it. I think that all we need to do is make sure we don't anger him too easily.

Amanda: We certainly won't anger him, but for the actual monsters we are fighting...

Monty: I suspect they will get under his metal skin at times.

Platia: I sure hope not. I would hate to see him get torn apart like that.

Harry: Monty didn't mean it like that. That was an expression.

Amanda: Getting under somebody's skin means that they get angry.

Monty: I suppose it will take you a while to learn about these expressions.

Harry: Just don't take some things you overhear my parents say too literally. Anytime you hear something that sounds weird, just ask me what it means and I'll explain it.

Kathleen: The same goes for when you are staying with any of us and you hear something that sounds weird to you.

Platia: Hehehe. I am supposed to be your mentor, but right now, it is like you are my mentors, too.

Monty: I suppose we have things to learn from each other, don't we?

Amanda: Yeah. We are learning about the Dragon Village, the Draconight creatures, and Rusauris...

Harry: And you are learning about the outside world and about all of our expressions.

Platia: I also have some things to learn about Rusairus, too since I've only heard of legends about the demon who threatened our village centuries ago. Rusairus may be that demon's child, but in some ways, she's different, too.

Jase: How different was her mother exactly?

Platia: From what I remember from my father's stories, she was able to turn people into her mindless slaves by forcing them into this sort of armor she creates for them. But I had heard that if some part of the armor is taken off, they are freed from her spell. Seems strange since she is wearing armor herself. But something tells me that it is armor she created herself that has no magic like any armor her mother created for her puppets.

Kathleen: Do you think that Rusairus is able to do the same kind of brainwashing?

Platia: That I do not know. I sure hope she does not. But something tells me that somebody who was once a puppet of her mother is still alive today.

Jase: Like that is a possibility.

Platia: This demon was able to live for long periods of time. In fact, I think she might have even faced off against heroes within the past six years.

Monty: That does sound awful.

Kathleen: I just hope it never happens to us.

Harry: Hopefully it never happens to anyone again.

Over in Rusairus's castle, Rusauris was walking down the hall when she suddenly stepped on a part of the floor where the stone within it dissolved the moment she put her foot down. It went through the floor.

Rusairus: Ah! (Pulls her foot out) Has nobody taken care of this castle?

Jaroblin: (Walks in) Well, your mother has been away from this castle for quite a long time.

Rusairus: For how long? Centuries?

Jaroblin: You got it!

Rusairus: I wasn't being serious when I asked that!

Jaroblin: I'll get to work on fixing that hole at once, Mistress.

Rusairus: Good! Although, this gives me an idea for our next monster. (Begins walking, but her foot falls through the floor again) AAAH! (Pulls her foot out) And will you get this one, too?

Jaroblin: Huh? (Looks to see the hole) Oh. I'll get that one, too.

Rusairus then left the hallway. Jaroblin then looked at the newer hole in the floor.

Jaroblin: Perhaps I should have made repairs to this castle. I guess I let the possibility that her mother, or anybody in her family, was ever going to return. Although, I have the feeling that if she dies, that may mean the whole family is gone. Can I really let that happen? I better make sure the castle is well taken care of just in case. (Begins to walk, but ends up having his leg fall through the floor) Ugh...

Rusairus then arrived in the main room of the castle where she found Tinker Tonker.

Rusairus: Tinker Tonker, I have a monster I want you to make.

Tinker Tonker: What would that be, Mistress?

Rusairus: I need one that is made from mud.

Tinker Tonker: Mud, huh? I am sure I can get plenty of that by going to the lake in the forest below the castle and mixing it with dirt.

Rusairus: Then get to it.

Tinker Tonker: Yes, Mistress.

And Tinker Tonker headed on out. Once he was outside, he got a wheelbarrow and began digging into the ground. He put the dirt he dug up into the wheelbarrow. As he was digging, he didn't notice there was a map in the ground. Once the map was free enough, the wind began to lift it out.

Tinker Tonker: Huh? What is that?

He then saw the map in the wind.

Tinker Tonker: What is that? (Looks closer at it) It looks like some old piece of paper. It isn't of my concern nor Rusairus's. The thing that is most important to Rusairus right now is getting this dirt into the castle and getting that monster created.

He continued the load up the wheelbarrow. Over at Harry's house, the Draconightgers could hear the wind outside.

Jase: Whoa! That is quite a strong-sounding wind, isn't it?

Kathleen: I hope it doesn't cause the power to go out again.

Platia: How can a wind shut off your Draconightger powers?

Amanda: That wasn't what Kathleen meant, Platia.

Monty: She's talking about the electricity.

Harry: It is what we use to turn the lights on, and to turn on things such as the TV, the radio, and lamps.

Platia: Whoa! I never knew that.

Then, the map that Tinker Tonker had dug up made its way to the attic window. Jase then noticed it.

Jase: Uh, guys. What is that?

Platia then saw the map.

Platia: Oh my goodness, it is the legendary Map of Gold.

Kathleen: Map of Gold? You mean, like a treasure map?

Platia: I don't know what treasure is, but a legend that the Dragon Village had passed on is that if anybody had found the Map of Gold, it would lead them to something golden.

Monty: So it is a treasure map?

Platia: If your word for gold is treasure. We better open that window and pull the map in.

Harry: I'll go get it.

He went over to the window and began to open it. As he did, the map came loose.

Amanda: Careful, Harry. You could make the map blow away out of our reach.

Harry: I'm trying, Amanda! Go easy on me!

He then opened the window up a little more, but then the map came loose and blew away.

Harry: No! No! Nooooo! (Tries to grab it, but it flew away out of his reach) I can't believe I just let that happen! (Turns around to his friends) Guys, I really tried to grab it. I didn't mean to let it go.

Platia: I get the feeling that if Rusairus finds it, she could get to this...treasure before we do.

Monty: Then we better go searching for it. Let's hurry and find it.

And the five of them hurried down the later as Platia watched them.

Platia: Good luck, guys.

Monty: We'll do our best, Platia.

Over at Rusairus's castle, Tinker Tonker had brought in the wheelbarrow full of dirt into the room with the monster-making furnace.

Tinker Tonker: I've brought in the dirt, Mistress. Ready to that that new monster for you.

But he noticed that Rusauris was looking a bit angry. This confused Tinker Tonker.

Tinker Tonker: Why are you looking at me like that?

Rusairus: How could you?

Tinker Tonker: How could I do what? I don't know what you are talking about.

Rusairus: I was watching you dig and I saw something appear from the ground.

Tinker Tonker: You had? What was it?

Rusairus: It appeared to be a piece of paper.

Tinker Tonker: What is so special about a piece of paper?

Rusairus: I didn't think it was special at first, but then the wind blew it out of the ground and it zipped by my face. As it did, I saw that it wasn't just any piece of paper.

Tinker Tonker: What sort of paper was it, Mistress?

Rusairus: It was a map.

Tinker Tonker: Oh boy. Does that mean treasure?

Rusairus: It certainly does. It is the legendary Map of Gold. My mother had told me all about it. She at one time tried to find the map, but she was never able to find it. I think that if we get that map, we may just find the key to defeating the Draconightgers. Once that monster is made, have him try to find the map and bring it back to me.

Tinker Tonker: I am on it, Rusairus!

Tinker Tonker put the dirt into the furnace, and soon, out of the back, the hatch door opened, and out came a dirt-like monster.

Tinker Tonker: I call him Earthmover.

Earthmover: Time for me to Earthmove out!

Rusairus: Be sure to find that Map of Gold for me, Earthmover.

Earthmover: Will do, Mistress. Earthmover Earthmoving out! (Heads on out)

The Draconightgers were searching for the Map of Gold. They were searching through the park.

Monty: We got to find that map before Rusairus or any of her monsters do.

Amanda: Or before somebody else finds it. Somebody we don't want to have have it.

Harry: Who would want that map besides us or Rusairus?

Amanda: There could be lots of people. How many people know about the Map of Gold?

Harry: Well, we know that at least six people outside the Dragon Village do. The five of us, and Rusairus.

Jase: I think what Amanda means is who else knows about it? It could be something that nobody has ever heard of.

Kathleen: So are you saying that nobody else knows about the map, Jasey?

Jase: I would not think anybody else would.

Harry: Guys, there's the map. (Points to a tree with the map on a very high branch)

Amanda: That is pretty high up.

Monty: Can anybody climb that tree?

Jase: Uh, excuse me. What do we look like?

Harry: Uh...squirrels.

Jase: Exactly!

Amanda: And your point?

Kathleen: Squirrels can climb trees naturally!

Monty: Oh. Right. Then get to climbing, shall you?

Jase: We are on it, Monty.

Jase went over to the tree and began to climb it. Kathleen was about to climb it after him, but then...

Amanda: JASE, LOOK OUT!

Jase: (Looks) Huh? (Sees a dirt ball come towards him) Whoa! (Let's go and falls onto Kathleen)

Kathleen: AAAH! (Jase lands on her back) What's the big-

But then, the dirt ball hit the tree where Jase was and it blew up.

Kathleen: Whoa!

Then they saw that the dirt ball was thrown by Earthmover.

Earthmover: That map isn't going to anyone except Rusairus.

Jase: (Gets up off of Kathleen's back) What is the big idea of throwing that dirt ball at me and forcing me to drop onto my sister's back?

Earthmover: By dirt ball, you mean one of my large spherical earth bombs!

Kathleen: A bomb? No wonder it exploded!

Monty: I don't know what sort of treasure this map will lead to, but whatever it is, Rusairus will not get her hands on it.

All: Draconight Change! (Inserts the keys, the tiny knights danced, then they transformed)

Earthmover: I can do more than toss exploding balls of earth! (Digs his hands into the ground, causing it to shake)

Draconightgers: Whoa!

Kathleen: He's...able to...make...earthquakes?

Harry: Looks...like...it!

Monty: Jase, go after...the...map...

Jase: Got...it! (Hurries to the tree)

Kathleen: Good luck, bro!

Monty: Draconight Swords!

Jase hurried over to the tree while the rest of the Draconightgers got out to charge for Earthmover.

Monty: (Hits Earthmover with his sword)

Amanda: (Hits Earthmover with her sword)

Harry: (Hits Earthmover with his sword)

Kathleen: (Hits Earthmover with her sword)

Earthmover: (Gets hit by all the swords, but nothing happens) Hahaha!

Jase began to climb the tree, but the ground shook under him.

Jase: Gotta...stay...steady.

He looked up to see the map was still in the branch, but it began to move.

Jase: No! Hold steady.

He got closer and closer to the map desperately trying to grab it.

Jase: Come on...(Attempts to grab it, but misses) Whoa! (Tries again, but then falls) Ah! (Grabs the branch while he hangs off of it) I never heard of any squirrels who fell from trees before! I sure am glad Kathleen isn't watching me right now. (Proceeds to climb up) If she told Mom and Dad about this, I'd never live it down. (Gets on top of the branch) Alright, Mappy! Platia is counting on us to grab you to lead us to this treasure.

Over with the other Draconightgers, they were each trying to hit Earthmover, but no matter how many times they hit him with their swords, there wasn't a single scratch on him.

Harry: This isn't working. Should we try to use our elemental powers?

Monty: Not we, you!

Amanda: Him?

Kathleen: Of course. Harry's element is earth.

Harry: Oh yeah! Earth strike! (Trusts his sword into the ground to create an earthquake at Earthmover)

Earthmover: I don't think so! (Pounds his fists into the ground to make his own earthquake, the two earthquake trails collide and exploded, knocking the Draconightgers back)

Draconightger: Whoa! (Gets up off the ground)

Harry: So much for that!

Monty: Girls, let's try using our elements!

Girls: Sure thing, Monty!

Monty: Fire Strike!

Amanda: Water cyclone!

Kathleen: Energy Surge!

Monty and the girls' swords lit with their respective elements while Harry stood back, but before their elemental powers could reach Earthmover, he threw another large spherical earth bomb, which explodes and blocked off the elemental powers.

Monty: That can't be!

Kathleen: I hope Jase is having better luck than we are.

Over with Jase, he was still trying to grab the map.

Jase: Please, Mappy! My friends and I need you! Please?

Just as he managed to get one finger on the map, it then came loose from the branch and blew away in the wind.

Jase: Oh no! I better go after it.

Jase proceeded to climb down from the tree. As he was climbing down, he was watching the map as it blew into the air.

Jase: I just hope it doesn't blow too far out of my eyesight.

But by the time Jase got back onto the ground, he couldn't see where the map had blown to.

Jase: Which way did it go? I cannot remember the direction it went in. (Sighs) I just hope the others are having better luck. I better go see how they are doing.

And he hurried back to his team. Meanwhile, with the rest of the rangers...

Earthmover: Now check this out! (Uses his abilities to make dirt arms emerge from the ground with one arm grabbing Monty and Amanda, and the other grabbing Harry and Kathleen)

Monty: Ah! What sort of creature is this?

Amanda: Some sort of dirt monster.

Kathleen: Much bigger than the one we've been fighting?

Earthmover: Now to begin crushing you with my big earth hands.

The big earth hands began to squeeze the Draconightgers.

Harry: Ugh...I'm...getting...squished...

Kathleen: So...am...I...

Amanda: It is like we are stuck between a hard place and...another hard place.

Just then, Jase arrived and saw his team was trapped in the earth hands.

Jase: Hey, nobody hurts my friends like that! Wind Strike! (Uses his sword to create a wind that surrounds Earthmover)

Earthmover: Huh? What's going on! (Gets covered in the wind)

With Earthmover covered in the wind, the earth hands began to get more lose around the other Draconightgers. Soon, the hands dissolved into dirt and the other Draconightgers were let go.

Amanda: Ah, Jase.

Monty: Good timing.

Harry: I guess we found out what Earthmover's weakness is.

Then, it began to get even windier naturally.

Earthmover: Oh no! Not twice as much wind! I got to get out of here! This isn't over, Draconightgers!

When the wind cleared up, Earthmover was gone.

Amanda: And just when we found his weakness!

Kathleen: Jase, did you get the map?

Jase: I tried, but I lost it. I'm sorry about that.

Monty: Don't worry about it. What is important is that you helped us to get free from those dirt hands.

Harry: We'll get that map eventually.

Kathleen: Do you think that this wind will continue to blow long enough for us to defeat this dirty monster?

Harry: I think the news said that today, the wind is going to blow until four in the afternoon, and it is 2:30 right now.

Jase: So that means we have an hour and a half to defeat him.

Monty: But will we find this monster in time?

Amanda: Let's just hope Rusairus doesn't know how long it is supposed to blow.

Jase: Unless she watches the news, I doubt it.

Over in Rusairus's castle, Earthmover had appeared before Rusairus in the main room of the castle.

Earthmover: Mistress, the wind was much too strong for me.

Rusairus: Too strong?

Earthmover: I can handle the natural wind, although the Green Ranger's wind was a bit stronger. When both happened at the same time, it felt like I was going to come completely apart or something.

Rusairus: So you are telling me that you are weak to wind?

Earthmover: Uh huh.

Vector: That isn't a problem for Earthmover.

Earthmover: Not a problem?

Rusairus: What do you mean by that?

Vector: Right now, it is 2:35. At 4:00, the wind will stop blowing. All we need to do is not have Earthmover go fight the Draconightgers until after 4:00. The wind will die down by then.

Earthmover: So I will only have to deal with Draconight Green's wind by then?

Vector: That is what I am telling you.

Rusairus: That map is still out there, but I suppose we can wait until then. But I think I am going to have to give something for Earthmover to do. (Turns to Earthmover) Go help Jaroblin with repairing the floor.

Earthmover: You got it, Mistress.

Rusairus: I will let you know when you can go out and fight the Draconightgers safely.

And Earthmover went to see Jaroblin. Over in Harry's attic... (With the rangers demorphed)

Jase: I then used my wind powers at the monster, and he just got weaker and weaker.

Kathleen: Weak enough to let us go.

Jase: But then it had gotten windier and the monster vanished.

Monty: We had thought that if this monster comes out again before 4:00, Jase might be able to defeat him.

Amanda: But right now, it is 3:00, so it will need to happen within an hour.

Platia: And what about the map?

Jase: I tried to grab it, but it blew away.

Harry: But the monster is also after it. So Rusairus must also be after it.

Platia: I figured she'd find out about it. In the meantime, you'll just have to wait for the monster to come out before you can fight him.

Kathleen: Well, he better be out by 4:00. If he comes out any later, then how will we ever be able to beat him?

Jase: You mean how will "I" ever do it. You guys did mention that you were powerless to defeat him.

Kathleen: Oh, right.

They waited for a while. At 3:20, the monster hadn't shown up.

Monty: Anything yet, Platia?

Platia: I am afraid not.

Amanda: We got forty minutes before he becomes totally unbeatable!

Harry: Guys, I think that he might be aware of how long we have until the wind stops.

Jase: Maybe if we can find the map before 4:00, we could lure the monster to us.

Kathleen: But how can we find the map while the wind is still blowing?

Over at Rusairus's castle, it was down to fifteen minutes. Rusairus was watching the clock in her castle.

Rusairus: It is a good thing I was able to get this clock during my travels to the castle so I could keep track of time. Just an hour and fifteen minutes to go.

Vector: Uh, Mistress.

Rusarus: What is it?

Vector: That clock is an hour back.

Rusairus: It is? (Looks at the clock, which reads 2:45)

Vector: Uh huh. It is supposed to say 3:45.

Rusairus: Oh. So this clock is wrong?

Vector: It is. But when that clock says 3:00, then it will actually be 4:00. Although, there is something I need to show you.

Rusairus: What is that?

Vector: (Shows the Draconightgers, morphed again) It appears that the Draconightgers have the Map of Gold in their hands.

Rusairus: Then that changes everything! Earthmover!

(Cuts to Earthmover helping Jaroblin fix the floor)

Rusairus's Voice: Earthmover!

Earthmover: Huh? 4:00 already? That was fast! I gotta get going! (Hurries away)

Jaroblin: And to think I could have gotten the floor fixed by dinner time! (Continues work)

Earthmover soon arrived to see Rusairus.

Earthmover: It is 4:00 already?

Rusairus: Not quite, but the Draconightgers have the Map of Gold in their hands.

Earthmover: (Sees Vector showing the Draconightgers with the map) So you need me to go now?

Rusairus: Yes I do!

Earthmover: But the wind. It will destroy me.

Rusairus: I'll destroy you if you don't get a move on!

Vector: But, Mistress, there's something you need to know about this map!

Rusairus: I know plenty about it, Vector!

Vector: But...

Rusairus: Earthmover, get me that map!

Earthmover: Yes, Mistress. (Hurries out of the castle)

Vector: (Shows his face again) This will not end very well.

Earthmover soon arrived at where the Draconightgers were with Jase holding the map in his hand.

Jase: Hey, monster, we managed to get the map.

Kathleen: So now that treasure is as good as ours.

Earthmover: Not if I have anything to say about it! (Trusts his fists into the ground to cause an earthquake that makes the make fall out of Jase's hands)

Monty: It's 3:50, Jase! Now is your chance!

Jase: OK. Better get into position, guys!

And the other four Draconightgers each stood in a different direction facing Earthmover.

Earthmover: You think you are able to get this map from me? (Grabs the map) Aha! I got it!

Jase: Wind powers! (Raises his sword to create wind, which covers Earthmover)

Earthmover: (Gets covered) Not again!

Monty: Fire power! (Creates fire from his sword at Earthmover)

Amanda: Water strike! (Makes water appear from her sword)

Harry: Earth rumble! (Makes the ground rumble under Earthmover)

Kathleen: Energy surge! (Creates energy from her sword and attacks Earthmover with it)

Earthmover: AAAAH! No! I'm...coming...apart...! (Blows up within the wind. It dies down, showing only pieces of paper left)

Kathleen: We did it!

Harry: Alright!

Amanda: That was a smart plan, Jase!

Monty: And we didn't even need the map!

Jase: Yeah. That monster fell for our trap!

In Rusairus's castle, Rusairus saw what happened with Vector showing her the action.

Rusairus: Those cursed Draconightgers! Not only did I lose a very powerful monster, but also the map!

Vector: (Showing his real face) That was what I was trying to tell you, the map the Draconightgers had was a fake!

Rusairus: A fake? Why didn't you tell me?

Vector: I tried! But you kept on interrupting me and I couldn't do it!

Rusairus: Well, at least I know that the real Map of Gold is still out there somewhere. I only wish I knew where. But we'll find it.

That night, Harry had Platia down in his room with Platia helping him to clean up his room.

Harry: It was nice of you to help out with cleaning my room, Platia. You didn't have to do this, though.

Platia: With how hard you've worked as a Draconightger, I thought I'd repay the favor.

Harry: Did you help Amanda clean her room, too?

Platia: Uh huh. Although one time, I ended up doing all the work.

Harry: Amanda had you do all the work?

Platia: No. We started together, but then she had to leave for someplace, and I ended up doing all the work. I told her I would continue cleaning until she got back. It turned out she was gone for a lot longer than I was expecting her to be.

Harry: Oh.

Then suddenly, Harry's mom opened the door without knocking.

Platia: Uh oh! (Hurries to the ladder, but Harry's mom had opened the door, leading Platia to hurry to the corner and stay very very still)

Mrs. Buffman: Have you cleaned your room yet, Harry?

Harry: Nearly there, Mom. (Gives an awkward smile)

Mrs. Buffman: (Sees Platia in the corner) What is that?

Harry: (Looks to Platia) That? Oh, that's uh...a plaster dragon I have been constructing.

Mrs. Buffman: It looks very lifelike. Almost like a real dragon.

Harry: Yeah. Well, I am that good.

Mrs. Buffman: Alright then. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes.

Harry: OK, Mom.

And Harry's mom closed the door. Once it was closed, Platia unfroze.

Platia: That was a close one. Sure glad she bought your plaster dragon story.

Harry: Me, too. I would hate to get into big trouble for keeping a real dragon in my house without my parents knowing.

Platia: At least there is the attic for me to stay in.

Harry: Yeah, but maybe it is time somebody else took a turn.

Platia: I'll be sure to stay in the attic for as long as I need to. Maybe next time you should lock your door.

Harry: That might be a good idea.

To be continued...
