Fungus Fear (Transcript)

This is the 10th episode of Soaring Squadron: Skyranger.

Our heroes had just finished watching a movie in the movie theater. They had never gone into a movie theater before.

Jeff: Wow. That was quite impressive. I'm certainly glad they were able to solve the case.

Dina: And the villain was totally unexpected.

Reggie: I'd certainly like to see another one of these movies sometime.

Marcus: Me, too.

Tiffany: For now, let's be on the look out for any attacks by Bananabeard. We were lucky he wasn't attacking the surface while we were in the movie theater. Otherwise, we would have had to abandon the movie in the middle of it.

Jeff: I really would have hated to do that. I hope I can have Austin come down here someday. I'm sure he'd like to see this movie.

Dina: I think that would happen after Bananabeard is defeat. I don't think residents from Cloudnoia other than us can come down here until Bananabeard is gone.

Jeff: Yeah. Well, let's get back up to the sky for now.

Later up in the sky, our heroes were telling the Headmaster and Owen about the movie that had seen.

Dina: It was pretty interesting how we saw characters interacting on a huge screen. What I don't get is why they were different sizes compared to one another. I mean the mice and giraffes and the elephants and rhinos I can understand, but I don't get why the rabbit was smaller than the fox.

Headmaster: Must have been an amazing...what was it again?

Jeff: A movie, sir.

Headmaster: Oh yeah. A moving.

Jeff: (facepalmed)

Headmaster: What?

Dina: Never mind, Dad. I'm sure we can help everyone in Cloudnoia understand someday.

Jeff: I bet my family will be happy to hear what happened in this movie. I'll tell them tonight at dinner.

That night at Bananabeard's ship, Bananabeard was trying to decide on who should choose the monster of the day.

Bananabeard: So far, all the monsters Lizahim, Panthina, and Dr. Toris have all failed.

Primius: Why don't you let me pick a monster?

Bananabeard: You? Well, I suppose you could.

Primus: Thanks, Captain. (Flies through the door and comes back with a mushroom monster) This is Fungoid. He's part mushroom and part robot.

Bananabeard: Hmmmm. He looks like just the monster to do the job. Good work, Primus.

Primus: Thanks for everything!

Bananabeard: Now to send Fungoid to the surface.

The ship then sailed into the sky. The next morning, Jeff woke up to hear a call on his Sky Bracelet.

Jeff: (Groans) What is it?

Headmaster's Voice: Jeff, he's at it again. Bananabeard sent down another monster to the surface. You must get to the library quickly.

Jeff: OK. I'm on my way.

Everybody hurried to the library and the Headmaster gave them the news.

Headmaster: The Bird Guardians tell me this monster is a type of mushroom monster.

Marcus: A mushroom monster? How is that dangerous?

Headmaster: It's also part robot. And he can spray mushroom spores that can paralyze anything they touch. So you better be careful.

Reggie: Wow. A dangerous mushroom. Who knew?

Tiffany: Mushrooms can be dangerous sometimes, Reg.

Reggie: They can?

Tiffany: Poison mushrooms.

Reggie: Oh.

Jeff: Enough chatting, we have a monster to defeat.

Down in the city where the monster was sent to, Fungoid was going around spraying mushroom spores in the park. Making stuff such as the trees, the benches, and the playgrounds start to paralyze. Our heroes then showed up.

Jeff: There he is.

Fungoid: (Turns to see them and tries to spray them, but they gets out of the way)

Jeff: Time to transform.

All: Sky Changer (Lifts their fists into the sky and transform and they start to fight. Reggie and Marcus attacked with their weapons, but Fungoid paralyzed them.)

Reggie: What?

Marcus: What has happened?

Girls: (Attack with their weapons, but the same thing happens to them)

Tiffany: What the?

Dina: How could this happen?

Jeff: (Prepares for an attack.)

Dina: Jeff, wait, you're weapon.

Jeff: (Still attacks, Fungoid tries to spray him, but he throws his blade tonfas and they manage to hit the back of Fungoid. Jeff also manages to avoid getting hit.)

Fungoid: Gah! (Gets hit by the blade tonfas)

Reggie: Wow, Jeff.

Marcus: That was just amazing.

Fungoid: Not amazing enough. (Sprays mushroom spores at them, but they move out of the way)

Jeff: This might be a lot harder than it looks.

Fungoid: You have no idea who you're messing with, do you?

Dina: I think we better see how we can repair our weapons before we find a way to defeat this guy.

Jeff: Agreed. Let's head back to Cloudnoia and see if the headmaster will know of anyway to repair them.

And so they all hurried away to Cloudnoia. When they returned to the library, they showed the headmaster what had happened. (They're wearing their suits without their helmets at the moment)

Dina: So you see, everybody's weapons got paralyzed.

Tiffany: Jeff's wasn't though. He managed to throw his weapons behind the monster's back.

Headmaster: Really? That was quite clever, Jeff.

Jeff: Thank you, sir. But I don't know how we can defeat him without everybody else's weapons.

Owen: I might be able to repair the weapons for you.

Dina: You can?

Owen: Sure I can. Now let me see them. (Everybody except Jeff hands Owen their broken weapons) Hmmmm. OK. This shouldn't be too much of an issue. All I will need is the de-paralyzing mushroom. It's hidden in a forest somewhere on the surface.

Reggie: A mushroom?

Owen: These mushrooms are very rare. In fact, they are so rare, only 1% of the people on the surface know of their existence.

Marcus: One percent? That is quite a few people to know about it.

Tiffany: How will we find it if it is so rare? It's not like we can just make one appear by magic.

Owen: No. It will not be easy. And they won't last long once they have been picked. Not even if they're in protective jars. This means that they will need to be used right away upon being picked.

Dina: Do you know where this mushroom is exactly?

Owen: I think my ancestor who once lived on the surface during Bananabeard's first attack had gotten one once. He used it to repair a paralyzed tree branch. I believe he found it (Gets out a book and opens to a page showing a forest) in this forest. (Shows a picture of the mushroom to show it is blue with yellow and green dots) Here's what the mushroom looks like.

Jeff: OK. So all we have to do is find that forest, find the mushroom, and then repair everybody's weapons. Then after that, we'll need a way to defeat, Fungoid.

Owen: I think in order to do that, you'll have to make him paralyze himself. This should give you time to blast him with your combined weapons blaster.

Jeff: OK. Thanks, Owen. Come on guys, we have a mushroom to find.

The Skyrangers flew their Bird Guardians to the forest that Owen had sent them. When they arrived they looked around the forest. (They are in full costume now)

Jeff: OK. According to Owen, this mushroom is blue with yellow and green dots.

Dina: Can anyone remember that?

Reggie: I think I can. I'll just think of a large me with tiny Tiffany's and Marcus's on me.

Tiffany: Huh?

Marcus: I think I get it. It's because you're blue, Tiffany is yellow, and I'm green.

Reggie: Exactly.

Marcus: OK. I'll have that on my mind as well.

Tiffany: Sounds strange, but OK.

Jeff: OK. Why don't we split up and look?

All: Right.

So they split up. They searched the forest for a while. They looked in different places. After some searching, Reggie found them.

Reggie: Ah. Here they are! Guys, I found them. (Everybody came to Reggie's calling) Are these it?

Jeff: Yes. Those are it. Good job, Reggie.

Dina: (Picks some) We better get these back to Owen quickly.

They hurried back to Cloudnoia with the mushrooms and Owen used them to repair the damaged weapons.

Owen: There you go, guys. All fixed.

Dina: Thanks, Owen.

Reggie: Now how are we exactly going to get Fungoid to spray himself?

Jeff: I think I might have a plan.

Later on, the Skyrangers returned to find Fungoid.

Jeff: Hey, Fungoid, your fun is about to be over.

Fungoid: No. Yours will be, Skyrangers. (Sprays them)

Jeff: Now!

Dina: Got out a fan and turned it on. It blew the mushroom spores back at Fungoid.

Fungoid: (Gets infected by them) Gaaah! No. You tricked me!

Jeff: Alright. Now to finish this.

(They combined their weapons and blasted Fungoid)

Jeff: Haha. That should do it.

But as usual, Bananabeard's ship came in and let out the storm cloud to make Fungoid grow giant.

Fungoid: Muahahahaha. I have not been defeated yet.

Jeff: Bird Guardians!

(The Bird Guardians form Sky Flyer King)

Fungoid: Aha. One robot against a half-one.

Dina: It'll soon be a robot against nothing.

Fungoid: Not it won't. It'll be a half-robot against nothing. (Goes to attack)

Sky Flyer King: (Attacks back)

(Fungoid then tries his mushroom spore spray again, but finds that it doesn't work due to the paralyzing)

Fungoid: Darn. No longer works!

Jeff: That's right. Now to finish this. (Presses the button to make the sword appear)

Sky Flyer King: (Attacks Fungoid with a few hits with the sword)

Jeff: Lightning...

All: Sword Strike!

Sky Flier King: Lighting Sword Strike! (Makes the finishing attack on Fungoid)

Fungoid: Gaaaah! This is Fun guy is out! (Falls and explodes)

(Later on in the Cloudnoia Library)

Dina: That mushroom really did fix our weapons.

Marcus: But do you think they would have fixed the paralyzing done on Fungoid?

Tiffany:  Maybe. But I don't think we'd want that, would we?

Dina: Certainly not.

Owen: Well, I'm happy I was able to help out.

Dina: (aww)
