Awake All Night (Transcript)

This is the 39th episode of Video Squadron: Gamerman.

Up in Gigalord's ship, Gigalord was pacing around, wondering how the Gamermen could always stay up to date with his battles.

Gigalord: There must be someway to make them less active. What keeps them moving? I know that energy keeps me moving. But what keeps them moving?

Darktail: Gigalord, I think it could be because sometimes, people drink coffee to wake themselves up in the morning.

Ninjakuma: It is a good way for them to stay focused during the day.

Gigalord: Hmmmm. If people were up at night, then during the day, they'd be too sleepy. I've got it. Dr. Squeak, I've got a monster idea for you.

Dr. Squeak: What would that be, boss?

Gigalord: Give me a monster that can spray coffee. I'm going to have that monster keep people up at night, so they'll be too tired during the day.

Dr. Squeak: As you wish, my lord.

Dr. Squeak began working on the monster. Down on the surface, it was evening at the arcade and the Gamermen had just gotten the arcade all closed up. Randy had just arrived in the main room.

Kasumi: So what did your uncle say, Randy?

Randy: He says he might be able to do it, but it could take a long time before this game is found all across arcades around the country. He wants to see how much of a success it is here first.

Ash: I'm sure our friends from the comic-con would be happy about it as well. And they did spend a great deal of time playing it here.

William: I don't see why it couldn't be available state-side. Maybe even around the world.

Felicia: I'm sure it will become such a success if it gets released around the world.

Randy: Uncle Jack already thinks plenty that it's a good idea to have the Gamerman game be released across the states, too. Hopefully the visitors at the theme park he helped build an arcade in really likes the Gamerman game, there.

Jeremy: Who wouldn't want to play this game? Well, except maybe Gigalord and his men.

Ruki: Yeah. That is true.

Randy: He says it may take time to get multiple game cabinets made and sent off, but Uncle Jack has found some help with that.

Kasumi: Are Vix and Headbot helping out?

Randy: Somewhat. But he's also found a distributing company that's making the different copies to send out.

William: Ah. That's good.

Then, Jack came in.

Jack: I think things are pretty caught up for the day, so you can all head home now.

Felicia: Alright. See you tomorrow, Mr. Lupeson.

Ash: Yeah. See you.

And everybody headed out. Later on in the villain's ship, Dr. Squeak had just gotten his new monster created. This was a monster with a cup-shaped body, and a spout on one arm.

Dr. Squeak: This is Coffee Cup. He is able to squirt coffee into a subjects mouth and make them stay awake.

Gigalord: Staying awake at night means being too tired in the morning. This will work out perfectly. I need you to go down to the city and find as many people as you can to make drink your coffee.

Coffee Cup: Yes, my lord.

And Coffee Cup went out. All over the city, Coffee Cup came into different people's houses, opened up their mouths, and pour coffee inside. When he was finished, he went out before he could be caught.

Coyote Man: Whoa. All of a sudden, I don't feel like sleeping. I feel like, jumping about. (Begins jumping about)

Coffee Cup: In the morning, you will regret not sleeping. Hehehehe. (Runs off)

As Coffee Cup's rampage was going on, Vix sensed the presence of this monster.

Randy: What's going on, Vix? Don't you know it's the middle of the night?

Vix: Yes, I know. But there's a monster that has been sent out.

Jack: Does this Gigalord guy ever sleep?

Vix: Apparently not.

Randy: Oh dear. I don't want to disturb the others.

Jack: We don't have a choice, Randy. You better call them, quickly.

Randy: Alright. (Turns in his communicator) Guys, we have a problem. Gigalord has sent out a monster. We must find that monster quickly.

William: On our way.

Ash: I'm on it.

Felicia: I'll be there quickly, partner.

Kasumi: Got it.

They all hurried out of their homes and arrived at the arcade.

Vix: The monster you are going after tonight is Coffee Cup. He has the power to make people stay awake from drinking his coffee, making them too tired during the day.

William: Oh boy. Nobody wants to be a grouch in the morning.

Ash: No kidding. One time, I stayed up all night playing video games, and the next morning, I was too tired the next day. My parents let me sleep in.

Kasumi: Getting no sleep is quite bad. You don't want to do it.

Felicia: I agree. We must put a stop to this madness.

Vix: He is going around pouring coffee into people's mouths to keep them up at night.

Randy: What if he makes us drink his coffee?

Jack: Well, if you have your helmets on, you should be just fine.

Felicia: Right, because with our helmets on, our mouths will be protected.

Jack: Right.

Randy: So we should be just fine. Let's go, guys.

Jeremy and Ruki then came in.

Jeremy: We heard about the situation, too.

Ruki: So we'll be helping out.

Kasumi: Great. Could use the extra help.

Randy: Install Fighter.

William: Install Music.

Kasumi: Install Racing.

Ash: Install Jet Pilot.

Felicia: Install Fantasy.

Jeremy: (Spells Gamer) Install.

Ruki: Install Delta.

They transformed and headed out to find Coffee Cup. Coffee Cup meanwhile was continuing to keep people awake with his coffee.

Coffee Cup: Coffee Drink, Coffee Drink, stay up all know and you'll be kinked. Wait, is that even said right?

Then, the Gamermen arrived.

Randy: This ends now, Coffee Cup. We're here to put a stop to your coffee business.

Coffee Cup: Good thing I'm always so active to fight.

Then Gamermen then charged for Coffee Cup. Randy first used his weapons at Coffee Cup. But was knocked back.

Randy: Oh my.

Then, Kasumi and Felicia headed in to fight. Kasumi was knocked over by Coffee Cup's spout arm.

Kasumi: Oof.

Felicia: Kasumi.

Coffee Cup: It's your turn, cowgirl.

Felicia: I think not, partner. (Kicks Coffee Cup over, knocking him to the ground)

Coffee Cup: Oh.

Then, Ash and William had their weapons out and jump charged at Coffee Cup.

Ash & William: Heyah!

Coffee Cup: (Moves out of the way)

Ash: Hey, we moved.

William: Get back here.

Coffee Cup: No way.

Then, Jeremy and Ruki came in front of him.

Jeremy: Going someplace?

Ruki: Allow us to help get you there.

They got their weapons out and started fighting with Coffee Cup, but he felt quite powerful. He managed to knock both Jeremy and Ruki to the ground.

Randy: Jeremy.

Kasumi: Ruki.

Ruki: He's quite a powerful one.

Coffee Cup: Now to take this. (Sprays coffee at the Gamermen)

The Gamermen were all soaking wet from Coffee Cup's coffee.

Randy: Oh look at us. We're covered in coffee.

William: Well, at least it didn't go into our mouths. So we won't have the problem with staying up all night.

Coffee Cup: Wrong. My coffee can cause people to stay awake whether it touches them from the inside or the outside. I just did it on the inside for the citizens because I don't want them to find out about me. Good luck trying to defeat me tomorrow. Hahahaha. (Disappears)

Randy: Oh no.

Over at the base, the Gamermen managed to get all the coffee wiped off from taking a shower, but they still were wide awake.

Jack: From the looks of it, you might be too tired to stop Coffee Cup tomorrow. By that point, the effects of the coffee will wear off, and you'll begin to fall asleep.

Felicia: But we need to fall asleep tonight.

Ash: I don't want to get in trouble for staying up all night again. Mr. Lupeson, is there anyway we can get out will to sleep back?

Jack: I hope there is, but I don't know what it could be. My best advise for all of you is to try and get some sleep tonight, and in the morning, you can go out and try to defeat Coffee Cup again.

Headbot: But the coffee sprayed on them won't allow them to go to sleep, Master Jack.

Randy: He's right, Uncle Jack. I'm not all that sleepy now. And that's bad. I can lay down. (Lies on the floor) and close my eyes (closes his eyes, then opens them again), but I can't fall asleep.

Kasumi: He's right, Mr. Lupeson.

Jack: I'll see if I can work on an antidote for the coffee. I'll try to get it complete before too long. Once I do, you must all hurry home and get as much sleep as you possibly can.

Ruki: But what will we do in the meantime?

Jack: Why don't you play a couple of games in the arcade? Nobody else is in right now.

Jeremy: Well, we might as well do it.

So everybody hurried down to the arcade room and for two hours, they played through various different games. It was 11:30 PM when Jack finally managed to get the antidote ready. He came down to the arcade to give it to everyone.

Jack: Here is the antidote. Each of you take this before you go to bed, and you should get plenty of sleep. That way, tomorrow, you'll be able to defeat Coffee Cup.

Randy: Thanks, Uncle Jack.

Everyone each took a bottle with the antidote and headed home. The next morning, Coffee Cup was observing over people being too tired to do their work. Some people feel asleep while walking, some people feel asleep as the cash register at the stores, some feel asleep at the park, some teachers at school fell asleep while teaching, and all sorts of other chaos was going on.

Coffee Cup: The Gamermen will surely be too tired for last night's battle to put a stop to this.

Jake and Justin were walking in the city, looking over all the people sleeping.

Jake: What is this? A city wide slumber party?

Justin: Why weren't we invited?

Jake: Who's even holding it?

Justin: I don't know. I think we should go and find out.

Up in the villain's ship, the villains were all wondering what they were going to do next.

Ninjakuma: So, is that it? Coffee Cup just makes people stay up at night, then causes them to fall asleep during the day?

Darktail: What was the point of all this?

Ninjakuma: Yeah. Just make people sleepy? What could Coffee Cup do after that?

Gigalord: Quite simply. With the people asleep. There will be nobody to stop us from finding the technology we'll need to revive Vira.

Darktail: Does that mean that Coffee Cup is now useless?

Gigalord: Not quite. He's now free to destroy the city in giant form. We're going down there and once we're there, Darktail, I need you to enlarge Coffee Cup. And then we're going to search for technology at the computer store.

Dr. Squeak: Excuse me, Gigalord. But why didn't you just ask me to go down and buy some computer technology?

Gigalord: Hmmm. I hadn't thought about that. Anyway, we're going down there. Do whatever you can to get Vira revived until we get back, Squeak.

Dr. Squeak: Yes, boss. (Goes to the computer)

Gigalord, Darktail, and Ninjakuma soon arrived on the surface and found Coffee Cup.

Coffee Cup: Everybody is asleep as you ordered. So what may I do now?

Gigalord: Darktail will be enlarging you to giant size where you will then go and destroy the city.

Coffee Cup: As you command.

Darktail struck lightning at Coffee Cup and he was then enlarged.

Coffee Cup: Time to cause some destruction. (Wonders off)

Gigalord: And time for us to do some robbing.

The three villains began to walk off, but they were blocked off by Jeremy and Ruki.

Gigalord: What?

Ninjakuma: Gamer Silver and Violet?

Darktail: But how? Coffee Cup made you stay awake last night.

Jeremy: We were given the antidote, and slept like fishes last night.

Ruki: So now we're full of energy to fight you.

Jeremy and Ruki got out their weapons and began fighting Gigalord and his henchmen. Meanwhile, Coffee Cup began doing his destruction in the city.

Coffee Cup: This is even more fun than keep people up at night.

Then suddenly, he got hit by a sword, knocking him to the ground.

Coffee Cup: Huh?

He then saw Gamer Master.

Coffee Cup: What? But how? Gamer Master can't work without the Gamermen.

Randy: You're right. It can't work without us.

Kasumi: We got the antidote so we could go to sleep.

William: And now we're full of energy to defeat you.

Coffee Cup: Oh yeah? Well try this. (Spray coffee at Gamer Master)

Gamer Master's movements started getting impaired.

Felicia: Randy, the controls aren't working.

Ash: Gamer Master is getting all rusted.

Randy: Oh no.

Then Coffee Cup walked toward Gamer Master.

Coffee Cup: (Starts hitting Gamer Master) Take this, Gamer Master.

Then, he got blasted by a beam, causing him to fall down. The blast came from Zujioh.

Zujioh: Gamermen, I have come to help. (Starts slashing at Coffee Cup)

Coffee Cup: Ooh. Ow.

Jeremy and Ruki were still dealing with the three villains from the ground. Jeremy fought hard against Ninjakuma and Ruki battled her hardest against Ruki.

Gigalord: Do you fools think you can beat me? Think again. (Gets out a blaster and blasts at Jeremy and Ruki)

Jeremy and Ruki: AAAH! (Falls to the ground)

Gigalord: You won't be getting in our way of reviving Queen Vira.

Ruki: We're not going to allow the revival to happen.

Gigalord: Coffee Cup will do plenty in battling the Gamermen. Polygores, rise.

The polygores then rose and began battling Jeremy and Ruki.

Gigalord: While the polygores are distracting them, we'll get to the computer store.

And they hurried off without Jeremy or Ruki noticing them leaving. Over with the battle with Coffee Cup and Zujioh, Zujioh managed to get Coffee Cup down for the moment. He then went over to Gamer Master.

Zujioh: Now to help you guys. (Sends a beam at Gamer Master, restoring it)

Gamer Master: (Moves it's arms and legs)

Randy: Alright, Zujioh. We're able to moving again.

William: Now to slice this cup.

Randy: Gamer Sword.

Gamer Master: (The sword appears in it's hand)

Zujioh and Gamer Master stood before Coffee Cup. Coffee Cup then sprayed more coffee at them.

Zujioh: Cyber Shield! (Shields the attack)

Ash: Good going, Zujioh.

They then both began attacking Coffee Cup with their swords. Gamer Master even managed to get a crack in the top of Coffee Cup's head.

Coffee Cup: AAAH! I've got a crack.

Randy: Where you're going, it won't even matter.

Gamermen: Gamer Master Sword Slash.

Gamer Master: (Slashes at Coffee Cup)

Coffee Cup: AAAAH! (Falls down and explodes)

At that moment, everybody who fell asleep began waking up. Over with the polygore battle, the polygores sensed Coffee Cup had been destroyed.

Blue Polygore: We must retreat for now. Gigalord probably already has when he came here for.

Then, all the polygores disappeared.

Jeremy: Already has what he came here for?

Ruki: Oh dear.

However, when Gigalord, Darktail, and Ninjakuma arrived at the computer store, the owner of the store was just beginning to wake up.

Gigalord: Drat. He's awake already. The Gamermen must have destroyed Coffee Cup.

Darktail: So what now?

Gigalord: Maybe we'll have to have the next monster take care of this mission. Let's just get back to the ship.

And they disappeared away. Over at the arcade, the Gamermen were talking about the fun they had at the arcade the night before.

Randy: You know, even though that coffee forced us to stay awake, I quite enjoyed playing those games at the arcade at night. We should do it again sometime.

William: I don't think it's a good idea. Even if we stay up all night naturally, we may be too tired to fight Gigalord after that.

Ash: Maybe we could do that once Gigalord has been defeated. By then, we don't have to worry about him anymore.

Randy: Yeah. I think that's a good idea.

Kasumi: Maybe do it to celebrate New Years?

Randy: I doubt Gigalord will be defeated by then. It just depends on how soon we get the opportunity to get rid of him for good.

Felicia: Well, I'm up for a midnight party whenever we can have one.

Jeremy: Let's be thankful we can all enjoy being awake during the day and not feel so sleepy.

Ruki: Yeah. It's better to stay awake during the day and sleep at night.

Randy: Staying up at night can be fun, but you do have a good point.

Then, Vix came in with a tray of cups.

Vix: Since you guys did so well with this last monster, I figured I'd make these to celebrate.

Ash: Whoa. Not coffee. No way am I having that.

All the Gamermen backed away from what they thought was coffee.

Vix: What's the big deal? It's just soda.

Gamermen: Oh. (Comes back in)

Randy: Soda I can handle.

William: Uh, it doesn't have caffeine in it, does it?

Vix: Does root beer have caffeine?

William: Nope.

Vix: Then, no. This soda does not.

William: That's a relief.

Vix: I'm sorry I freaked you out there for a moment. Maybe it would have been better to get a lighter colored drink.

Randy: No harm done, Vix.

Then, they all put their cups together for cheers.

Felicia: So, Vix, how did you get root beer without people suspecting that you're a robot?

Vix: I didn't. Jack went out at got the soda. He asked me to bring it out to you.

Randy: Oh. That was real nice of him. So why couldn't he come and bring the soda to us himself?

Vix: He's working to get that new game released across the states, and maybe around the world.

Randy: That's good. I'm glad he's listening to us.

Felicia: But do you think we'll be heard if we want a space-themed series on American television in 2 or 3 years?

Ash: Let's hope they'll actually listen to us on that.

Kasumi: They should, though.

William: Didn't they do that 20 years ago?

Kasumi: Yeah. But there's this new series we want to have happen. I was hoping they'd do it next year, but they're going with a spy-themed series instead.

Ash: I can't believe they would do a thing like that. Considering they could have done that four years ago instead of skipping it.

Over on the villain's ship, Dr. Squeak was waiting for Gigalord, Darktail, and Ninjakuma to get back.

Dr. Squeak: So, did you get the computer technology?

Gigalord: We didn't get the chance to.

Dr. Squeak: Why not?

Darktail: The computer store owner woke up as we got there.

Ninjakuma: So we hurried away so we wouldn't get caught.

Gigalord: I'm thinking you should make a monster to go down at get the technology for us?

Dr. Squeak: Maybe after I've done the next step in reviving, Vira.

Gigalord: This technology could help us to do it even quicker.

Dr. Squeak: I'm quiet certain the technique I've just thought up might work. I promise I'll get the technology, too.

Gigalord: Alright then.

The Gamermen managed to defeat Coffee Cup and restore the waking world. But it seems that the villains have come up with some new strategies in getting their queen revived. What technology on Earth can help them further their plan in reviving the virus queen?

To be continued....
