Love Struck (Transcript)

This is the 30th episode of Dragon Squadron: Draconightger.

Platia was watching television in her room at the base one day. What she was watching was a romance comedy. Within the show, there was a love triangle going on where two men were fighting over a woman.

Male Cat: She belongs with me!

Male Goose: No! She belongs with me!

Platia: (Watches as the arguing continues) Oh man. I am not sure which one of them I think should get the girl. I feel as though they are both worthy. This is too much. I'm switching channels. (Uses her remote to switch to a sports channel) Ah. This is much better.

Then, Princeton came in.

Princeton: Hey, Platia. Is everything alright?

Platia: Everything is just fine, Princeton. Although for a while, I was checking out a show about two men fighting over a woman. It was upsetting for me.

Princeton: Oh. That is one of the dangers of love sometimes.

Platia: Really?

Princeton: Uh huh. It can happen in real life, too. I'm sure you remember traveling to that city in California a few months ago, right?

Platia: Yeah. What about that?

Princeton: A couple of years ago, some guy was so obsessed with a woman there, he nearly tried destroying the city over her.

Platia: Trying to destroy the city? That is messed up. I remember Monty telling me about dates months ago when I was staying at his house before we met you, but I didn't know love can be dangerous sometimes.

Princeton: Most of the time, it isn't.

Platia: That's good. However, I am worried that there could be a point at which somebody has an argument over me.

(A fantasy then begins with Platia watching as Monty, Harry, and Jase are having a fight over her)

Monty: Platia is my girl! She should go out with me!

Harry: But I booked a reservation at the fancy restaurant!

Jase: She likes me, more! She's going with me!

Monty: She's mine!

Harry: No! She's mine!

Jase: She's mine!

All Three In Unison: She's mine! She's mine! She's mine! She's mine! She's mine! She's mine!

(The fantasy ends)

Platia: (Shakes her head) Get a hold of yourself, Platia. That sort of thing would never happen. Would it?

Princeton: What wouldn't happen?

Platia: Oh. It is nothing. I was just thinking about something.

Princeton: Does it have anything to do with the dangers of men fighting over you?

Platia: Yeah. Pretty much.

Over at Rusairus's castle, Tinker Tonker, Jaroblin, and Turantrax were watching the same comedy of love that Platia was watching on Vector.

Jaroblin: Those guys must want her so badly, they are willing to fight over her until one of them wins.

Tinker Tonker: By the looks of it, I don't think she will accept either of them.

Turantrax: Yeah. If there were a couple of girl spiders who fought over me, I don't think I'd want to go out with either of them.

Rusairus then came in and saw what they were watching. This gave her an idea.

Rusairus: Fighting over love, huh? Love is what leads to people getting married, and then they have kids, and they reproduce over the generations. If we can get people to fight over love, then nobody will want to get married, and they won't be having any kids. We can wipe out the anthro race. Tinker Tonker.

Tinker Tonker: Yes, Mistress.

Rusairus: Create a monster that will make people fall in love with the first person that they see. We'll get two men to fall in love with the same woman, and they will fight over her and make love fall apart.

Tinker Tonker: I'm getting straight to it, Mistress. (Heads to the machine)

Tinker Tonker loaded a plastic heart into the machine, along with some tiny heart-shaped pieces of paper, some red and pink glitter, a bazooka, as well as a few other things (unseen by the viewers). Soon, the hatch door opened, and out stepped a heart-shaped monster. He was armed with a bazooka.

Tinker Tonker: This sort of monster doesn't give heart attacks, it is a monster that will attack. He is armed with a bazooka that will fire out hearts. These hearts will make whoever hits them fall in love with the first thing that they see.

Rusairus: I think that is a good name for him. Heart Tack.

Tinker Tonker: I said "heart attack", not "Heart Tack."

Rusairus: I know. But the name "Heart Attack" sounds too obvious.

Tinker Tonker: I guess that makes sense. I just thought you misheard me.

Heart Tack: I shall go out there and destroy love. Along with future generations while I am at it. (Heads on out)

Heart Tack soon arrived and saw a lady swan sitting on a bench in between a duck and a goose. Both of whom were men.

Heart Tack: It looks like I found my first targets. Time to use the Heart Bazooka. (Aims the Heart Bazooka at the duck and fires)

Male Duck: (Gets hit by the hearts with the hearts exploding upon impact with him looking love-struck when the explosion cleared)

Heart Tack: Next. (Moves over to the goose and fires at him)

Male Goose: (Gets hit by the hearts)

Upon getting hit by the hearts, both the duck and the goose turned around and saw the swan. As a result of the effects of Heart Tack's Heart Bazooka blast, they both fell in love with the lady swan instantly.

Male Goose: Hey, lady. Want to go on a date with me?

Male Duck: I was going to ask her out on a date first.

Male Goose: But I actually asked her first.

Female Swan: But I barely even know either of you.

Then, Heart Tack found a teenage rabbit boy sitting at a table outside of a sit-down restaurant. He was looking at three different rabbit girls at three different tables. He wasn't sure which girl he liked more.

Heart Tack: So that little bunny boy doesn't know which girl he should ask out? Maybe he doesn't have to make a choice. (Fires his Heart Bazooka at the three rabbit girls)

The three rabbit girls then all turned to the rabbit boy.

Rabbit Girl 1: Hey, cutie. Want to go out with me?

Rabbit Girl 2: But I wanted to ask him out.

Rabbit Girl 3: But I want to hang out with him.

Rabbit Boy: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Girls, one at a time!

Heart Tack continued looking for people to fire his Heart Bazooka at. Over at the Draconightgers' base, Platia saw on her communication scale what Heart Tack was doing.

Platia: Oh dear. It looks like Rusairus was also watching that show.

Princeton: Why? Is she making people fall in love with the first thing they see and making multiple people fall in love with the same person?

Platia: Uh, huh?

Princeton: I was only being sarcastic.

Platia: (confused)

Princeton: I didn't really think that was what was happening!

Platia: Oh. I'm going to call the others over. (Puts her communication scale up to her mouth) Draconightgers, we've got trouble. Get here at once.

Soon, the other Draconightgers arrived and Platia told them what she saw.

Monty: A monster that is going around making people fall in love with the first person they say so people will argue over love?

Kathleen: I can't believe that Rusairus would do a thing like that. It is like she wants to discourage people from falling in love.

Platia: I think that is exactly what she is trying to do.

Jase: If people keep fighting over who is going to marry whom, then nobody will get married or have any kids.

Platia: I'm afraid so. You'll need to put a stop to this monster's attack.

Harry: I guess we are going to have to go and attack the heart.

Princeton: So this heart will get attacked. By us.

Harry: Uh, is it wrong to make heart attack jokes like that?

Monty: Never mind that. We better hurry out there before this monster breaks too many people's hearts.

Lead Six: (Gets out their keys and swords) Draconight Change! (Inserts their keys into their swords, the tiny knights dance, and then they are transformed)

Over with Heart Tack, he then came to a field full of cheerleaders, along with a young squirrel man.

Heart Tack: Hehehe. This one will be the best one yet. (Fires his Heart Bazooka at each and every cheerleader on the field)

He watched as all of the cheerleaders ran toward the young squirrel man. He laughed at the action.

Heart Tack: Hahahaha. That guy has a lot of ladies on his trail.

Then, the Draconightgers arrived.

Amanda: Playing with everybody's hearts, are you?

Harry: I am all for getting attention from cheerleaders, but not like that.

Heart Tack: Shame you were not here earlier. I would have made them go after you.

Harry: Don't try it!

Heart Tack: Whiknights! (An army of Whiknights appeared) Distract them!

The Whiknights then charged for the Draconightgers.

Monty: Swords, guys!

They got out their swords and began to fight against the Whiknights.

Princeton: (As he fights them) Is this meant to distract us while he goes to make more people fall in love with one another?

Heart Tack: Actually, it is to distract you while I hit YOU! (Holds his Heart Bazooka and aims it at Monty)

Monty: (As he fights a couple of Whiknights) Uh oh.

Heart Tack: (Fires the Heart Bazooka at Monty)

Monty: (Knocks a Whiknight in front of the blast, resulting in it getting hit, then Monty swings the Whiknights to face towards Heart Tack)

Whiknight: (Sees Heart Tack) \_ (Runs towards him)

Heart Tack: Hey! Not me! (The Whiknight begins to hug him)

Kathleen: (Sees what has happened) Hahaha! That was clever, Monty!

Heart Tack: (Grabs the Whiknight and flings him away) Sorry to do that to you, but I've got work to do. (Aims his Heart Bazooka at Amanda and then fires)

Amanda: Huh? (Sees the blast coming towards her) Water Wave! (Makes a wave of water splash towards the Heart Bazooka blast with the blast hitting it) Guys, out of the way!

They all moved out of the way. The body of water that came from Amanda's sword just floated for a moment, then it saw the Whiknights and began going after them, taking on the shape of a heart. The Whiknights just ran off.

Heart Tack: What? How can that be? Water isn't a living thing!

Amanda: I guess your powers are not just effective on living things.

Heart Tack: Hmmm. I could use this to my advantage. (Looks at an ice cream stand, then aims his Heart Bazooka at the cart)

Jase: What is he going to make the ice cream fall in love with?

Heart Tack: (Blasts the Heart Bazooka at the ice cream cart when the cart stand owner, a male eagle, was opening the door to get the ice cream)

The heart blast made the ice cream rise from the inside of the cart and began going towards the cart owner and began to kiss him.

Male Eagle: AAAH! The ice cream is kissing me!

Heart Tack: Huh, this is working well.

Amanda: That is quite creepy to watch!

Kathleen: Would it be creepy to try and eat the ice cream?

Jase: I think it would be.

Then, Heart Tack went back to the Draconightgers.

Heart Tack: That wasn't as great as I had hoped. I'm going back to the living beings. (Uses his Heart Bazooka and aims them at the Draconightgers) Prepare to fall in love with the loves of your lives, Draconightgers. (Fires the Heart Bazooka at the Draconightgers)

Just as the Heart blast was going to hit the Draconightgers, Platia (already morphed) came in with a mirror. The blast hits the mirror, and the blast reflects back toward Heart Tack.

Heart Tack: Oh no! (Jumps out of the way, as the blast hits a male poodle)

Male Poodle: (Gets hit by the blast) Oof! (Sees a Persian cat lady) Hey, Miss. Can we go on a date? (Goes over to her)

Platia: Oh no! What did I do?

Heart Tack: Hah! You got that poodle guy to fall in love with that cat lady.

Monty: Don't worry about it, Platia.

Harry: At least you saved us.

Heart Tack: But not for long. (Gets his Heart Bazooka ready and tries to blast at the Draconightgers again, but when he fires, nothing comes out) Drat! I'm out of ammo! We'll settle this later, Draconightgers! (Disappears)

Jase: At least he won't cause any trouble for a while.

Kathleen: But what will we do about all the people who have been hit already?

Monty: Well, for the ice cream that is kissing that guy, I know of something we can do that is better than eating that ice cream. (Raises his sword into the air, it lights fire, and then he uses the fire to make the ice cream melt)

Male Eagle: (Watches as the kissing ice cream melts in front of him) Oh. While I don't like all of the ice cream melted in front of my feet, at least I don't have to deal with that ice cream kissing me anymore.

Jase: That was freaky to watch.

Monty: Do I owe you for that ice cream, sir?

Male Eagle: No. You just did what you needed to when that monster made my ice cream come to life like that.

Amanda: I can imagine it being creepy to date your dessert, huh?

Kathleen: Date our dessert? Hmmm.

Jase: What are you thinking, Sis?

Kathleen: Nothing.

Later on, the Draconightgers were back at the base. (They are in their suits, but their helmets are removed)

Harry: So what do we do about the actual people who got affected?

Platia: We'll need to figure out how to reverse the effects.

Harry: I think that would be just beating the monster. If I remember, Platia, you said that the only way to reverse the effects of those people who got angry by that monster on Halloween was to defeat the monster.

Platia: I am not sure if destroying the monster was the only way to undo the effects. That is just how I did it.

Princeton: What if we keep the love target out of the citizens' eyes long enough?

Amanda: Hey, that kind of sounds familiar.

Jase: Why is that may I ask?

Amanda: It has to do with the world those ponies we met came from.

Princeton: Right. That is exactly where I got the idea.

Monty: We could try that. We first need to find a citizen who is being targeted by someone who had been hit by the monster's Love Bazooka.

Kathleen: That shouldn't be too hard.

Princeton: I also have an idea for when that monster comes back.

Platia: What is that, Princeton?

Princeton: We could have a fake bazooka made for the monster and swap it out when he is not looking. Or, we could take it from him and then swap it out when he isn't looking and give him back the fake.

Jase: I think that is a fantastic idea, Princeton.

Harry: But do you remember what the bazooka even looked like?

Princeton: Oh yeah. I do remember what it looked like. We first need to get a log.

Monty: Are there plenty of logs outside your house?

Princeton: Oh certainly. I'll show you where I keep them. Follow me.

Princeton led all of them outside. Over at Rusairus's castle, Heart Tack had arrived to show that his bazooka was empty.

Heart Tack: I need to have more of those exploding hearts loading into my blaster.

Rusairus: So the Draconightgers made you use up all your exploding hearts?

Heart Tack: My last attack was aimed at the Draconightgers. But at the last minute, the silver one came in with a mirror to reflect the attack to hit a poodle man instead.

Tinker Tonker: It will take me a while to get the bazooka loaded again.

Turantrax: Uh, how are you going to get the bazooka loaded?

Tinker Tonker: The material I used to make the exploding hearts before I still have plenty left to make more.

Rusairus: Then, in that case, make more!

Tinker Tonker: I'm on it.

Tinker Tonker then got some of the same materials he got before. Back at Princeton's house, Princeton led the others to his backyard with a pile of logs.

Monty: That is quite a lot of logs.

Platia: Where did you get all of those?

Princeton: They had been here for a long time. You see, this house didn't always run on electric heat.

Harry: It hadn't?

Princeton: Nu-uh. When I was a kid, my parents decided to change the house's heat from an oil-headed house to an electric-heated house. Although I do remember that when fall came around, I would often feel hot and would ask my parents to turn the air conditioner on, but they said that the colder air would come in eventually. It felt like forever.

Platia: You say that your house's heat used to run on oil?

Princeton: That's right.

Platia: That's how the houses in the Dragon Village are.

Princeton: Makes sense since this house was around for as long as your village was.

Amanda: So we make a fake bazooka from one of these logs?

Princeton: Uh huh. We just need to find a log that is the same length as the monster's bazooka.

Monty: (Picks up a log) How about this one?

Princeton: (Looks over the log) Uh, nope. Too long.

Monty: Do you think the monster will even remember how long his own bazooka is?

Princeton: I think that we should have it be the same length, just in case.

Amanda: How about this one? (Picks up another log)

Princeton: (Looks at the log Amanda was holding) No. This one is a little too short.

After going through the logs, Platia picked up the last log.

Platia: How about this one?

Princeton: (Looks over it) This is perfect!

Jase: Seriously? It is the last one we looked over?

Kathleen: Well, any log would have been the last since we wouldn't need to look over the other logs if we found the right one.

Jase: I mean that I cannot believe that we went through every single log until we found this one.

Princeton: Now, I'll get to make it look like the bazooka.

He took the log and placed it on the outside table, then put his sword through the center of the log and began to spin a hole into the log to make it hollow. Soon, the log was hollowed out.

Princeton: Now, to smooth out the outside. (Uses his sword to smooth the outside of the log) There we go.

The other Draconightgers looked over the log. It did look a lot like Heart Tack's bazooka, except that it was in wood color.

Jase: Well, it looks like the bazooka mostly. But it isn't the right color.

Princeton: Ah. But I wasn't finished yet, Jase. Now we need to get some paint to make it look like the bazooka. Then we are all set.

Amanda: I also just thought of something. You said that we could possibly try and find a target of anybody who was hit by the Heart Bazooka and see if keeping the target out of sight makes the effects wear off. Right?

Princeton: Yes.

Amanda: But what about breaking the bazooka? Maybe that will break the spell.

Monty: I think it is worth a try.

Princeton: Hmmm. I guess we could do that.

Harry: It probably would be hard to try and keep somebody targeted towards somebody who had been hit by the love bazooka.

Princeton: Then as soon as I get this bazooka painted, and as soon as that monster comes back, we'll see about getting that bazooka and destroy it. Or try at least.

He then went to get a can of paint. Over at Rusairus's castle, Tinker Tonker had brought Heart Tack his bazooka back.

Tinker Tonker: Here you go, Heart Tack. Just be sure you get the Draconightgers this time. This way, they will not be able to stop you from making other people fall in love with the first person they see.

Heart Tack: I will do my best. (Heads out)

Jaroblin: You know, I was quite surprised that you made the effects of the Heart Bazooka make inanimate objects fall in love, too.

Tinker Tonker: I actually didn't either.

Over with the Draconightgers, Princeton had just finished getting his fake wooden bazooka completely painted.

Princeton: There we go. Now it looks exactly like the monster's bazooka.

Platia: (Gets out her communication scale) And just in time. That monster has come back for a second round.

Monty: Then we better get our helmets on and hurry back out there.

They all ran inside to get their helmets on, then once on, the seven Draconightgers ran off to find Heart Tack. Heart Tack was looking around for the Draconightgers. He was interested in getting them before blasting anybody else.

Heart Tack: Now where oh where are those pesky Draconightgers?

When he wasn't looking, Monty grabbed hold of his bazooka.

Heart Tack: (Notices him) Hey! Give that back!

Monty: You'll have to catch me first!

Monty ran carrying the Heart Bazooka while Heart Tack followed him. Monty had Heart Tack chase him over a path with bushes on either end. Harry was on one side and Jase was on the other, each holding one end of a rope. They waited for Monty to run by before pulling the rope out. When Heart Tack ran by, he tripped on the rope, allowing Monty to get so far ahead.

Heart Tack: Hey! Who put this rope here?

He then heard some laughing coming from behind the bushes. He went over to Harry's end to look, but Harry gave him a punch, knocking him back.

Heart Tack: Ugh! (Lands on his back)

Jase: (Comes out from behind the bushes he was hiding behind) Haha!

Heart Tack: (Gets up) You'll pay for that! Wait, what am I doing? I need to get my Heart Bazooka back! I'll be back for this! (Runs off after Monty)

Monty meanwhile met up with Princeton who had the fake bazooka.

Monty: Here's the real bazooka, Princeton.

Princeton: And here's the fake. (Trades the bazookas with Monty) Now, get back out there and pretend to lose the bazooka to that monster.

Monty: I'm on it.

And Monty ran back out just as Heart Tack arrived.

Heart Tack: I've got you now! (Grabs the bazooka from Monty's arms) Now you will never love anyone in the same way again. (Aims the bazooka at Monty and attempts to fire, but nothing comes out) What? (Looks inside) I can't be out already! I didn't even fire! (Looks over to Monty) Did you empty my bazooka?

Monty: Nope!

Princeton then came out holding the real one!

Heart Tack: What?

Princeton: Now watch this! (Throws the bazooka to the ground and it blows up)

All around the city, the effects of the Heart Bazooka started to fade off. Everyone then went back to what they were doing before.

Heart Tack: No! That was the Heart Bazooka, and this is a faker!

Monty: You got that right!

(Cuts to Rusairus's castle)

Rusairus: I'll give Heart Tack one final chance to destroy the Draconightgers! Tinker Tonker, go and make him grow!

Tinker Tonker: Straight away! (Hurries out)

Soon, Tinker Tonker arrived and used the enlarger beam to make Heart Tack grow gigantic.

Heart Tack: Talk about huge and tough love!

The other Draconightgers arrived by Monty and Princeton's sides and saw that Heart Tack had been grown giant.

Platia: It looks like he isn't giving up on love just yet.

Monty: Then let's show him something we love. The destruction of monsters.

They got out their keys and tossed them to summon their Draconight Dragons and creatures. Soon, DraconightOh (Water Earth Formation), LightningOh, StingrayOh (Wind Energy Formation), and DracoLightzin.

Heart Tack: (Charges in fury at the Draconightgers' mecha)

(Cuts to DraconightOh's cockpit)

Monty+ Amanda+Harry: Draconight Sword!

DraconightOh: (The end of the Water Dragon's tail has a hand appear with the Draconight Sword)

(Cuts to StingrayOh's cockpit)

Jase+Kathleen: Stingray Sword!

StingrayOh: (The end of the Wind Dragon's tail has a hand appear with the Stingray Sword appear)

DraconightOh, StingrayOh, and LightningOh then charged and slashed at Heart Tack with their swords.

Heart Tack: GAH! (As he gets hit with the swords)

(Cuts to DracoLightzin's cockpit)

Platia: DracoLightzin light swipe!

DracoLightzin: (Its fingers light up with light, then swiped its hands at Heart Tack)

(Cuts to DraconightOh's cockpit)

Monty+ Amanda+Harry: Draconight Sword Slash!

(Cuts to StingrayOh's cockpit)

Jase+Kathleen: Stingray Sword Slash!

(Cuts to LightningOh's cockpit)

Princeton: Lightning Sword Strike!

(All three robots did their finishing attacks at Heart Tack)

Heart Tack: (Gets hit by the finishing attack) GAAAH! This was a type of love I absolutely hate! (Falls and explodes)

Later on, Platia (Now demorphed, as is the case with them all) was in her room at the base, now lying on her bed and watching a sports channel.

Platia: Those romance comedies were good, but I think I've had enough romance for one day.

Then, she heard a knock on the door.

Platia: Huh. I wonder what Princeton wants? (Gets up off her bed and goes to the door and opens it) Yes? (Sees Monty, Jase, and Harry) Oh hey, guys.

Monty: Hey, Platia. I was wondering if you would be interested in going out with me sometime.

Harry: You could go out with me.

Jase: Or me. Please pick me.

Monty: Platia is my girl! She should go out with me!

Harry: But I booked a reservation at the fancy restaurant!

Jase: She likes me, more! She's going with me!

Monty: She's mine!

Harry: No! She's mine!

Jase: She's mine!

All Three In Unison: She's mine! She's mine! She's mine! She's mine! She's mine! She's mine!

Platia: GAAAH! How can you boys be fighting over me when we defeated that monster?

The boys stood silent for a bit, then laughed.

Platia: (confused)

Monty: Got you!

Harry: We aren't actually interested in going out on a date with you.

Jase: Princeton just thought it would be funny to pull a prank like that.

Platia: Oh. That's a relief.

All: (Laughs)

To be continued...
