Aaaaaaaaawwwwwwww, Rats! (Transcript)

This is the 45th episode of Justice Squadron: Comicger

At the Petropolis Museum of Natural History, the Comicgers were on a field trip with their classmates checking out the many exhibits that are on display there. Some of the students were interested in the exhibits there, such as Paul, but others like David and Monica just wanted to see the big attractions there such as the Kruger Rat, the mystical artifact that has the ability to control the minds of rats. David and Monica mainly wanted to see it because it was the artifact that sparked the formation of Team Katswell in the first place. But, before they could get to it, they had to sit through a tour of the hall of ancient artifacts given by their teacher, Mr. Waterhorn.\*

Mr. Waterhorn: Stick close by, kids, and I'll tell you the history behind all these discoveries made by archaeologists and historians over the years! Keep up!

Monica: (yawning) Yeah, whatever, Mr. Waterhorn. When are we gonna see the Kruger Rat?

David: Yeah. I'd like to get a picture of it.

Mr. Waterhorn: Be patient, you two! There's more to the hall of ancient artifacts than just the Kruger Rat! We'll get to it, shortly! (leads the class to an ancient dagger used by the Celts) Ah! Here's a Celtic dagger from over 700 years ago! Used by Celtic warriors to defend their homes from invaders! Think of it as one of the earliest forms of combat knives.

Students: Oooooooooooooooooooo.

Monica: Okay, I gotta admit. That IS pretty cool. (takes a picture of the dagger with her phone)

Katie: Well, I think it's exciting to learn a bit about ancient cultures. ^^ (looks at some ancient Indian trinkets) Oh, sweet! Some old Hindu treasures!

Mr. Waterhorn: Oh, yes! These ancient Hindu treasures date back to the 1800s, when India was under British rule. (points at a statue of the Hindu god Ganesh) And, this is a statue of the Hindu god of wisdom, Ganesh.

Paul: The elephant guy? Sweet! (takes a picture of the statue)

William: Well, I mainly just wanna see the dinosaur skeletons. They were always my favorite when I came to the museum.

Steve: We'll get there soon, Will. We just gotta get through this hall of artifacts first.

David: Yeah, and besides, don't you wanna see the Kruger Rat when we get to it?

William: (thinking about it) Well, okay.

Mr. Waterhorn: (pointing at some old fans used by the Egyptians) And, here are some Ancient Egyptian fans! Long before we had air conditioning, this is what the pharaohs used to keep their cool.

Katie: Pretty intricate designs, huh guys?

Monica: None of us will know, Katie.

Katie:

Mr. Waterhorn: (approaching a podium containing a gold rat statue with jewels for eyes, ears, and a nose) A-ha! And, here's one of the most famous pieces in the museum, the Kruger Rat!

Students: Oooooooooooooooooo.

Monica: About time!

Mr. Waterhorn: According to the legend surrounding this statue, whenever the full moon touches its emerald eyes, they emit a magic beam of light that can control the minds of rats, anthro or otherwise! That's exactly what happened when notorious criminal Verminious Snaptrap stole the Kruger Rat back in 2010.

David: Which may I remind everyone here is the same year Team Katswell was formed!

Mr. Waterhorn: Yes, David. We know. And, that's sadly what's making it draw more people to come and see the statue. Because of its connection to the formation of Team Katswell. It's a shame, too, because there's so much more history surrounding this statue.

Steve: I see.

Paul: Well, if it's not to much trouble, Mr. Waterhorn, care to give us a brief history lesson on it?

Mr. Waterhorn: Gladly, Paul.

\*As Mr. Waterhorn was explaining the history behind the Kruger Rat, Steve begins to notice that Gerald and Harold were nowhere to be seen.\*

Steve: Oh, great! Now, where did Gerald and Harold run off to THIS time?

William: (noticing they were gone as well) Yeah! What happened to them?!?

\*As it turns out, Gerald and Harold were sneaking up behind the Kruger Rat to see if it REALLY can control the minds of rats.\*

Gerald: So, they say that this dinky little statue can control the minds of rats, eh? I think it's a silly little trick!

Harold: Well, I dunno. Mr. Waterhorn said it contains some pretty powerful stuff!

Gerald: Well, if what the legends say is true, then we can probably use a couple of rats to sniff out the Comicgers' secret headquarters so we can unmask them! But, we'll have to be 100% sure it works! Now, lift me up!

Harold: Okay. (picks Gerald up by his feet, and inches him towards the podium)

\*As Gerald was getting closer to the Kruger Rat, he starts using his beak to try and cut open a hole in the glass casing it was kept in. As he was cutting the hole, he was keeping a close eye on Mr. Waterhorn to make sure he doesn't get his attention. Then, he was able to make a perfectly sized hole for his hand to stick through, and starts reaching for it. However, the second he put his hand on the Kruger Rat, an alarm goes off, which got the attention of the security guards, who came running at the exhibit. This also got Steve and Mr. Waterhorn's attention as well, and they were astounded by what Gerald and Harold were trying to do.\*

Mr. Waterhorn: Boys! What on Earth are you doing?!?

Gerald: Well, if what you said about the Kruger Rat was true, Harold and I thought we would use it on a couple of rats to sniff out the Comicgers' secret headquarters so we can find out who they are!

Harold: Yeah! What HE said!

Mr. Waterhorn: Oh, brother.  (turns to the security guards) It's alright, guards! These two boys obviously don't know any better.

Security Guard #1: Well, ever since Snaptrap stole the Kruger Rat all those years ago, the museum had an alarm system attached to it to prevent any future thefts of it. That includes you two boys.

Security Guard #2: Yeah, so don't go putting your fingers onto things that shouldn't be touched!

Gerald: Oh, darn it.

Steve: It's okay, Mr. Waterhorn. I'll keep a closer eye on these two for the rest of the tour. (grabs Gerald and Harold by the collars of their shirts, and drags them off to the rest of the class)

David: Boy, those guys will do ANYTHING just to get attention.

Katie: You said it, David.

Mr. Waterhorn: Now, where was I? (thinks hard, and eventually finds his place) Oh, yes. In 1843...

\*As Mr. Waterhorn continues his lecture on the Kruger Rat's history, Rozoson was hiding in the janitor's closet, listening in on the whole thing. This gave him an idea on their next plan to destroy the Comicgers.\*

Rozoson: Hmmmmmm. A statue that can control the minds of rats, eh? That gives me a brilliant idea. (disappears back to the fortress in flames)

\*Back at Darkanos' fortress, Rozoson has told Darkanos everything he has heard from the museum, and is starting to think that this plan might have its faults because it was previously done eight years ago.\*

Darkanos: I'm having my doubts on this, Rozoson. If a criminal in the real world is unable to pull off this kind of plan, what chance do WE have?

Rozoson: From what I heard about this Snaptrap character, he wasn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, and he was outnumbered by NINE heroes. We only have.... (counts the number of Comicgers in his head) Eleven. Oh. But, we're still smarter than that Snaptrap character, though.

Darkanos: Somehow, I doubt that. But, what have we got to lose at this point? And, besides, you seem pretty enthusiastic about it, so how about you go down to the dungeon, and see if we have a monster that could steal this Kruger Rat for me?

Rozoson: It will be my pleasure, sir. (leaves the throne room to go down to the dungeon)

\*When he reaches the dungeon, he sees Infafre already down there, doing his daily run in the dungeon, checking on the prisoners to make sure they don't escape.\*

Infafre: Oh, hello Rozoson. Does the master need another monster for his evil schemes?

Rozoson: Oh, yes. The master requires a monster that can steal the Kruger Rat that's on display in the Petropolis Museum of Natural History so we can use it to control all the rats in Petropolis. Do you know of any monsters that can pull off such a deed?

Infafre: (thinks hard, and eventually comes up with the perfect candidate) I think I know just the vermin for the job!

\*Then, Infafre leads Rozoson down the hallway, and takes him to a cell containing an ugly-looking rat monster with brown fur, black eyes with red pupils, two sharp fangs, and black fingerless gloves and boots with a rat head emblem on them. It was exactly what Rozoson was looking for.\*

Rozoson: He's perfect, Infafre! Take him to the lab at once!

Infafre: Right away, Rozoson! (unlocks his cell, and leads him to his experimentation lab)

\*Once Infafre straps the monster in, he starts zapping him, and giving him a potion that gives him extra strength. Then, once he was finished, the monster was now wearing golden rat armor resembling the Kruger Rat itself, complete with a ruby nose, aquamarine eyes, and emerald ears. He was Rat Finker, and he was the perfect candidate to go to the museum, and steal the Kruger Rat for Darkanos.\*

Rozoson: (coming into the lab to see the finished result) He's repulsive! Just the sight of him makes me sick to my stomach! He's PERFECT!!!

Infafre: I'm glad you think so, Rozoson. ^^

Rozoson: Now, let's bring him to the throne room, and see if the master likes him.

\*Rozoson and Infafre lead Rat Finker up to the throne room where Darkanos was waiting for them.\*

Darkanos: Well, did you find the monster?

Infafre: Yes, we have, master! And, Rozoson believes that he's perfect for the job. And, there's a neat trick he can do with his armor, as well. So, please welcome, Rat Finker!

\*Then, Rat Finker comes into the throne room, and bows to Darkanos.\*

Rat Finker: (in a voice similar to Paul Lynde's Templeton from "Charolotte's Web") Hey there, my lord! I'm ready to get out there, and steal that Kruger Rat!

Darkanos: You're definitely enthusiastic, I'm not going to lie. But, let me see how you plan on dealing with the Comicgers! Infafre told me that you can do a neat trick with your armor!

Rozoson: Hmmmmm. Yes, he did. I'd like to see it.

Rat Finker: Oh, my trick. Well, as you can see, my armor resembles that of the Kruger Rat. However, unlike the Kruger Rat, whose jewel eyes can control the minds of rats, my aquamarine jewel eyes can shoot a beam at my opponents to transform them into wheels of cheese! Here, watch! (signals a couple of Paraxis to come forward and attack him)

\*Then, as the Paraxis got close enough to Rat Finker, he aims his aquamarine eyes at them, and shoots a similarly-colored beam at them, turning them into green wheels of cheese.\*

Rozoson: WOW!!!

Rat Finker: Also, my rat tail can knock anyone back several feet, and can smash through brick walls! (sees a Winged Paraxi heading towards him, and he uses his tail to whack at it, sending it flying out of the fortress) See?

Rozoson: Nice work! If this guy isn't perfect for the heist, I don't know who is!

Darkanos: I see. Now, Rat Finker, I want you to go down to the Petropolis Museum of Natural History, which is where the Kruger Rat is being held on display. Steal it, and bring it back to me! And, if the Comicgers dare to interfere with this heist, turn them into cheese like you did with my Paraxis!

Rat Finker: As you wish, my lord! One Kruger Rat coming right up! You want onion rings with that?

Darkanos: Spare me the jokes, and just focus on getting that statue.

Rat Finker: Righteo! (disappears from the fortress, and to the museum)

Darkanos: (looking at Rozoson) Well, what are you waiting for? Go with him!

Rozoson: (realizing that he forgot to go with Rat Finker) Oh, uh, as you wish, my lord! (disappears back to the museum after Rat Finker)

Darkanos: Pretty soon, those twerps will be hit with a whole new plague! (laughs evilly)

\*Back at the museum, the Comicgers and their classmates were having lunch in the cafeteria, and David was looking through some good shots he took of the Kruger Rat in his phone.\*

David: I gotta say, I got some very good shots of the Kruger Rat today. Although, I wonder... should I edit some sunglasses on it?

Steve: Well, personally, I wouldn't try it given how it's a very powerful artifact. But, if it's to keep the rats from falling under its spell in the full moon, I'd say it'd be pretty practical.

David: I agree. Although, I gotta ask: Does the mind-controlling thing apply to chipmunks like me as well?

William: (eating a tuna sandwich) Gee, I dunno. I guess it could, given how you're a rodent, too.

Paul: I think it might. I don't think the Kruger Rat itself can know the difference. But, if it's exposed to the full moon, and you're near it, I suggest you shield your eyes from it, just to be safe.

David: Well, okay. ^^

Paul: (sending a text to Alyssa to tell her about their day at the museum) Man, why isn't Alyssa answering my text?

Monica: She IS practicing with the swimming team, Paul. You can't expect her to instantly respond to every message you send her.

Paul: I know. It's just a shame that she's missing out on such an awesome field trip! She could've learned so much about our past!

Monica: I know she could've. But, sometimes there are things that can't be ignored.

Paul: Yeah, that's unfortunate.

Steve: Well, don't worry, Paul. (pats him on the back) Once we get back to school, you can tell her all about it.

Paul: Oh, okay. ^^

Katie: So, was there anything you enjoyed seeing here, Steve? Any WWII memorabilia you recognize?

Steve: Oh, plenty. I even found an old series of Lt. Liberty trading cards that were on display in front of a vintage poster of me back in my glory days. ^^ It was like stepping back in time to the good ol' days.

Katie: Yeah, I'm sure it made you pretty homesick a bit, huh?

Steve: Yeah, a little bit. But, I've definitely grown accustomed to you kids right now. So, that's a definite plus. ^^

William: Well, that's good. ^^

David: I'm at least glad that we're all together.

Monica: Me too. ^^

\*As the Comicgers were continuing their lunch, the alarm starts going off, indicating that there's a robbery going on.\*

Katie: Uh-oh! The alarm's going off! It sounds like someone or something is breaking into the museum!

Steve: I sure hope Gerald and Harold aren't trying to swipe the Kruger Rat again!

William: How can they? They're sitting over there, having... (notices that Gerald and Harold are missing from the table they were sitting at) ...lunch.

David: Oh, boy. Looks like they're up to that old song and dance again.

Monica: What else is new?

Steve: Well, I guess I'd better go and stop them again. You kids stay here, and don't leave the cafeteria! (gets up and leaves the cafeteria to look for Gerald and Harold)

\*Meanwhile, in the hallway leading to the hall of ancient artifacts, the security guards were fighting with Rozoson and Rat Finker, who were on their way to the hall of ancient artifacts to steal the Kruger Rat. Rat Finker swings his tail at the guards before they could tranquilize him, while Rozoson was using his spear to fight off another guard who was fighting him with his nightstick.\*

Security Guard #3: You have the right to remain silent!

Rozoson: I refuse to submit to a lesser opponent! (backhands the guard out of the way)

Rat Finker: These guys are lame! At least gimme a challenge!

\*Then, Steve eventually shows up to find them trying to break into the hall.\*

Steve: (shocked) Uh-oh!!! It's not Gerald and Harold! It's someone even worse!

Rozoson: (turning around to see Steve standing there) Wait a minute!!! Comic Liberty?!? How unfortunate that you're here!

Rat Finker: Maybe he's here to beg us for mercy!

Steve: Actually, I was here to see what caused the alarms to go off, but it turns out it was you two creeps!

Rozoson: Aaaawww, that's too bad! But, I'm sure destroying you will take a little weight off our shoulders! (charges at Steve with his spear)

Steve: (holding up his Liberty Turner, and pushing a button on it) Liberty Powers! Turn On! (quickly morphs into his Ranger form, and starts fighting with Rozoson)

\*Then, Steve was fighting with Rozoson. As Steve was blocking the strikes from Rozoson's spear, Rozoson signals to Rat Finker to go and steal the Kruger Rat.\*

Rozoson: Go, Rat Finker, and get that statue! I'll deal with Comic Liberty! (lifts his spear up, and strikes at Steve again)

Rat Finker: Right away! (sneaks into the hall)

\*In the hall, Gerald and Harold were sneaking towards the Kruger Rat to take another shot at swiping it. This time, they thought they were safe because the security guards were busy dealing with Rozoson and Rat Finker. But, little did they know that they were about to be in even bigger trouble than they already were.\*

Gerald: Okay, Harold, let's try this again! The guards are busy with something else, so we've got a better chance at swiping this thing!

Harold: (having second thoughts) Gee, I dunno, Gerald. This whole thing about stealing a priceless artifact with magical powers makes me feel kinda dirty.

Gerald: Well, take a shower when you get home! And, besides, what's life without breaking a few rules in the process, huh?

Harold: Oh, okay.

Gerald: Now, let's get that statue.

\*Then, Harold picks Gerald back up, and he starts reaching for the Kruger Rat again. Once again, he uses his beak to cut open a hole in the glass casing, and he reaches in to grab it. Since the alarm already went off when Rozoson and Rat Finker showed up, the Kruger Rat didn't set off the alarm, indicating that they were safe for the time being.\*

Gerald: I GOT IT!!!!

Harold: Good! Now, let's get outta here!!!

\*As they were about to head out of the hall, they were stopped by Rat Finker, who also wanted the Kruger Rat.\*

Rat Finker: Ah, thank you, boys! You've been a big help!

Gerald: Hey, aren't you another of Darkanos' monsters from the Comicgers comics?

Rat Finker: Yup. Now, hand over the Kruger Rat, and I'll leave you two alone.

Harold: Uh, okay. (starts handing the Kruger Rat over to Rat Finker)

Gerald: (stopping him by slapping his wrist) No, Harold! Bad! I know for a fact that he's gonna use this thing to help Darkanos take over the world, and all that jazz!

Harold: But, he'll leave us alone if we give it to him.

Gerald: Can't you see he's trying to trick us? Even IF we give it to him, he'll do something bad to us! I just know it! (turns to Rat Finker) Forget it, cheese-breath! If you want this statue, you're gonna have to pry it from our cold, dead fingers!

Rat Finker: So be it, then! (fires his beam from his aquamarine eyes at Gerald and Harold)

\*Then, Gerald and Harold scream as they threw the Kruger Rat up in the air, and get hit with the beam. Gerald and Harold were transformed into wheels of cheese, and before the Kruger Rat dropped on the floor, Rat Finker catches it quickly.\*

Rat Finker: Got it! I can't let this thing be destroyed! We need it for Master Darkanos' plan! (starts heading out of the hall)

\*Back in the hallway, Steve and Rozoson were still fighting with one another, and Steve begins to contact the other Comicgers to come over, and lend him a hand.\*

Steve: Kids, can you hear me? Rozoson's here at the museum! He must be up to something!

\*Back in the cafeteria, David was able to answer Steve's call, and begins to think there's something going on.\*

David: Hold on! Rozoson's here?!?

Monica: Somehow, I doubt he's here to check out the stuffed bears in the North American Mammals exhibit.

Steve: "Yeah, he and another of Darkanos' monsters were in front of the hall of ancient artifacts. I'm fighting Rozoson right now, but you kids gotta stop the monster before he steals something from that hall!"

David: We're on it, Steve! (cuts the feed)

Paul: (piecing it together) They must be after the Kruger Rat!

Katie: Oh, dear!  Who knows what Darkanos could do with his own army of mind-controlled rats!

Monica: Well, lemme tell ya, I have NO plans to endure another bubonic plague! Let's go!

\*They head over to a disclosed location so that none of their classmates could see them morph.\*

William: (looking around to see if anyone's looking) All clear!

David: Great!

\*They then hold up their Comic Turners, and begin to morph.\*

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 morph into their Ranger forms)

\*They then race to Steve's current location, and they see him fighting with Rozoson, and Rat Finker returns to Rozoson's side with the Kruger Rat.\*

Rat Finker: I got the Kruger Rat, Rozoson!

Rozoson: (seeing how easy it felt) Huh. That was easy.

David: (recognizing Rat Finker) Hey, that's Rat Finker!! From Comicgers Issue #95! Figures that Darkanos would send HIM to steal the Kruger Rat!

Katie: Yeah! We gotta get the Kruger Rat back before he returns to Darkanos with it!

Paul: Yeah!

Rat Finker: (seeing the Comicgers) Looks like we spoke to soon! 'Cause I see Comicgers in front of us!

Rozoson: Then, let's dispose of them quickly, and get out of here! PARAXIS, ARISE!!!!

\*Then, the Paraxis materialize in front of Rozoson and Rat Finker.\*

Rozoson: ATTACK!!!!

\*The Paraxis draw their laser spears, and charge at the Comicgers.\*

David: (drawing his Sketch Blade) C'mon, guys! Let's kick these creeps out of the museum!

William: (drawing his Sketch Hammer) Yeah! And, they didn't pay the admission fee, either!

\*The rest of the Comicgers draw their Sketch Weapons, and they join Steve in fighting Rozoson, Rat Finker, and the Paraxis. Throughout the fight, they were fighting each other through many different exhibits in the museum. Monica and Katie were fighting a couple of Paraxis through the ancient Egyptian exhibit, being careful not to knock over any of the priceless Egyptian treasures on display there. Monica was firing arrows from her Sketch Bow at the Paraxis, and ducks down behind some jars to avoid some fire from their laser spears. Katie was throwing her Sketch-A-Rangs at the Paraxis, and was being chased through an exhibit of King Mutt's tomb to avoid any fire from their laser spears. Then, the two girls meet up back-to-back trying to think of something. Just then, Katie sees a couple of Egyptian silk veils, and gets an idea.\*

Katie:  Hey, Monica! Look at these veils! I think I got an idea!

Monica: (looks at the veils, and knows what's on Katie's mind) Oh, you've gotta be kidding me! -\_-

Katie: (hearing the Paraxis getting closer) You got a better idea?

Monica: Uh, nope.

\*Just then, as soon as the Paraxis show up to try and destroy them, in front of them were Monica and Katie, wrapped up in mummy bandages while wearing the veils on their heads, faces, and waists.\*

Katie + Monica: (waving at the Paraxis in a flirty manner) Hi, boys!

\*Then, they started belly dancing in front of the Paraxis in hopes of distracting them.\*

Paraxis: (with hearts in their eyes)

Monica: (whispering to Katie) I sure hope we've got some kinda payoff for this!

Katie: Just follow my lead.

Monica: Okay! (continues dancing)

\*Then, they lure the Paraxis to the pool of water that the exhibit was near to mimic the look of the Nile River. Once they got closer to the edge of the pool, they jump out of the way, and the Paraxis absent-mindedly fall into the pool, getting themselves all wet.\*

Monica: Okay, we tricked them into falling into the Nile! Ya think we can rejoin the others now?

Katie: Oh, okay. Just be thankful that we didn't swipe the bone from King Mutt's sarcophagus! We all know how THAT went down!

Monica: Yeah, whatever! Let's just get outta here!

Katie: Alright!  (starts to regroup with the others with Monica)

\*Meanwhile, Paul was fighting with a few Paraxis in the space exploration exhibit, and was dodging their laser blasts through the old satellites and moon rovers used in past space missions. As they were blasting at him with their laser spears, Paul sees the giant hologram machine, and gets an idea.\*

Winged Paraxi: (getting impatient) Ugh. Comic Green has got to be here somewhere!

Paul: Hey, guys! Lookin' for me?

\*The Paraxis quickly look up, and see Paul standing over 20 feet tall over them. In reality, it was merely just a hologram, and the real Paul was crouched behind the machine acting like he's towering over them.\*

Winged Paraxi: WHOA!!! I didn't know that Comic Green grew to immeasurable size!

Paul: What? You thought that only your master's monsters grew? Well, I found a way to make myself grow as well! Now, I can squash you like the bugs you are! (lifts up his foot to try and crush them)

\*As he stomps down on them, the Paraxis quickly roll out of the way, and fire their laser spears at him. However, the minute the laser blasts go right through him, the Winged Paraxi starts to suspect something.\*

Winged Paraxi: (stopping the other Paraxis) Cease fire! Cease fire!

Paraxis: (stopping firing)

Winged Paraxi: There's something fishy going on here! (looks around and sees the hologram machine, and that Paul was projecting a hologram of himself to fool them) WHAT THE...??? So, it was nothing but a mere hologram!

Paul: (realizing the jig is up) Ain't I a stinker?  (charges at the Paraxis with his Sketch Escrimas, and whacks at them)

Winged Paraxi: AFTER HIM!!!

\*The Paraxis chase him to a nearby meteor, and Paul starts hiding in the craters. The Paraxis start striking their spears at his head as he pops out to confuse them. After playing a little bit of whack-a-mole with the Paraxis, Paul pulls out his Art Laser, and shoots at them. He then leaps out of the craters, and starts using his Sketch Escrimas to whack away at them.\*

Paul: In case you guys hadn't heard, and most likely you hadn't, I actually have the high score on "Whack-A-Mole" at the local arcade.  (continues whacking the Paraxis with his Sketch Escrimas)

\*Meanwhile, in the dinosaur and prehistory exhibit, William was fighting the Paraxis among the various dinosaur bones, and he tried to hide from them in the ribs of a Triceratops skeleton. He whacks at a couple of Paraxis by sticking his Sketch Hammer through the ribs, and decides to yank the front femur off the Triceratops to use as a club.\*

William: (to the skeleton) Sorry, pal! Hope you don't mind.  (leaps out from the ribs, and starts whacking the Paraxis with the femur) It seems that I got a bone to pick with you bug brains!

\*After whacking at the Paraxis with the femur, he places it back on the skeleton, and starts charging at a couple more Paraxis that were heading towards him. He then lures them to the back of a wooly mammoth skeleton and starts fighting them on top of it. After knocking them off the skeleton, William starts sliding off the tusks, and back on the floor.\*

William: At least I finally got to see the dinosaurs.  (runs off to continue fighting the Paraxis)

\*Meanwhile, in the Hall of Biodiversity, David and Steve were fighting with the Paraxis, Rozoson, and Rat Finker, while trying not to knock over any of the displays there. Steve was fighting with Rozoson near an artificial Rafflesia flower, and when Rozoson thrusted his spear down at Steve, he quickly dodges, and the spear gets stuck in the flower. As he tried to pull it back out, the flower starts to unleash its foul-smelling odor all over him, getting him covered in the smelly odor.\*

Rozoson: Oooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!! That stinks!!!!

Steve: See? This is why you should respect nature, and all its surprises.

Rozoson: (eventually getting his spear out, and continues striking at Steve) You'll pay for that!

\*Meanwhile, David was fighting with Rat Finker in the artificial rain forest trying to knock the Kruger Rat out of his hands. Rat Finker tries to hide in the foliage to try and get the jump on David, but David can sense his movements because of how in tune with nature he was.\*

David: Okay, being the nature-lover that I am, I'll try to use my senses to try and find out where Rat Finker's hiding in these bushes. (starts to search for Rat Finker)

Rat Finker: (popping out from behind some shrubs) Surprise!!! (whips his tail at David)

David: (ducking, and coming at Rat Finker with a sweep kick) What you don't know is that I'm in tune with nature. It sparks my creativity and imagination.

Rat Finker: Well, spark THIS!!! (throws a right hook at David)

\*Then, David continues to fight with Rat Finker in the rain forest while trying to get the Kruger Rat out of his hands. All the while, he tries his best to dodge the swings coming from his tail, and uses the foliage to his advantage when fighting with him. Eventually, they leave the rain forest, and found themselves inside the hallway leading back to the Hall of Ancient Artifacts. The other Comicgers meet up with David and Steve to see how they were doing.\*

William: Hey, how're you guys doing?

Steve: Rozoson was no problem, but David's having a bit of trouble with Rat Finker there! (sees Monica and Katie wearing their mummy dancer outfits) Where have YOU two girls been?

Monica: Hey! Don't look at me! It was Katie's idea!

Katie: Well, the veils were lying around, and I thought it would make for a good distraction tool.

William: (liking the outfit on Monica) I gotta say, Monica! That's actually a good look for you. ^^

Monica: (blushing like crazy) You r-really think so?

\*Meanwhile, David was still slashing his Sketch Blade at Rat Finker, and aiming to get the Kruger Rat out of his hands. But, Rat Finker was able to swing his tail at David, and knock him out of the way, and he starts to set his sights on the other Comicgers. He wants to use his beams to transform them into wheels of cheese like he did with Gerald and Harold.\*

Rat Finker: Ah, so the whole gang is here, huh? Let's see how you all look as aged cheese.  (starts firing his beams from his aquamarine jeweled eyes on his armor at the Comicgers)

Steve: GET DOWN!!! (grabs David and Paul, and jumps out of the way)

\*As they dodged, the beam hits William and the girls, and as a result, they ended up being turned into wheels of cheese.\*

David: (seeing what happened) Oh, no! What did you do to my friends?

Rat Finker: I turned them into cheese with the jewels on my armor! That way, they won't interfere with my master's plans to control the rats!

Rozoson: (rejoining him) Well, I'm getting a bit tired of this museum! We got what we came for! Now, let's leave Comic Red to make fondue out of his friends!

Rat Finker: Oh, yeah! Hate to leave so soon, but we gotta split! So, hasta la bye-bye!  (disappears back to the fortress with Rozoson)

David: Darn it! All that for nothing!

Paul: (seeing the others turned into cheese wheels) What the heck happened to them?!?

David: Rat Finker turned them into cheese wheels!

Steve: (picking them up) Well, we'd better take them back to the studio! I'm sure Mr. Chippendale can fix this problem!

David: Great idea, Steve! Let's go!

\*Then, David, Paul, and Steve quickly exit the museum, and made their way back to the studio. Meanwhile, back at Darkanos' fortress, Rozoson and Rat Finker show the Kruger Rat to Darkanos, and he was quite pleased with their efforts.\*

Rat Finker: Here you go, master! The Kruger Rat!

Rozoson: Stealing this thing was just like taking candy from a baby.

Darkanos: Well, I must say, I'm very impressed. You managed to pull it off very nicely. Now, onto the next phase of our plan! (pulls down a blueprint for their plans for the Kruger Rat) Now, what I want you to do is to take the Kruger Rat to the Southside Wharf south of Petropolis, and wait until night fall. I've heard in the news that there's gonna be a full moon tonight.

Rozoson: Wait a minute, my lord! Isn't this the same plan that this Snaptrap character used to control all of the rats in the Wharf?

Darkanos: Pretty much, Rozoson.  But, we'll make sure that we succeed where Snaptrap failed! This time, we'll make sure the Comicgers never stop us!

Rat Finker: Not to worry, master! With my aquamarine armor eyes, I'll turn those multicolored twerps into wheels of cheese! I already got Comic Blue, Comic Pink, and Comic Yellow with it! I just gotta zap the rest of them, and then... suppertime!

Darkanos: Very good, Rat Finker! And, once you control all the rats in the Wharf, sick them onto the remaining Comicgers! This time, there can be NO mistakes!

Rozoson: Yes, master! I'll be sure to oversee everything to make sure there ARE no mistakes!

Darkanos: See that you do, Rozoson! Now, go! And, wait 'till the full moon!

Rat Finker: As you wish, master! (bows to him)

\*Then Rozoson and Rat Finker disappear from the fortress, and arrive at the Southside Wharf to carry out Darkanos' plan. Meanwhile, back at the studio, David, Paul, and Steve (with their helmets off) bring the other Comicgers to Stanley so he can figure out how to turn them back to normal. At the same time, Stanley was able to contact Maple, Aaron, Linda, and Julian, and they were able to get to the studio as fast as they could. Julian started using his stethoscope on the Comicgers that have been turned into cheese wheels, and was able to find some surprising symptoms with them.\*

David: Well, Julian, how bad is it?

Julian: (removing his stethoscope from his ears) Well, I'm picking up some vital signs from the others! Technically, they're still very much alive, but for some reason, they can't talk, think, or move like they normally do. Those beams that Rat Finker fired must've screwed up their biological structure when he turned them into cheese.

Paul: So, it's bad, huh?

Julian: Very much.

Maple: Well, I'm glad none of us are lactose intolerant.  Otherwise, we'd be in SERIOUS trouble!

Stanley: So am I, Maple. Now, if what you told me is true, David, about what Rat Finker plans to do with the Kruger Rat, he might try to use it to control all the rats in the city.

David: But, what about us chipmunks, Dad? Are WE affected by it?

Stanley: Not really, son. But, as long as you're morphed, the Kruger Rat's powers might not penetrate the visor on your helmet. I think you'll be fine.

David: Well, okay.

Steve: But, according to the legend, the Kruger Rat only gains its powers from the full moon. And, after looking at the calendar, tonight is a full moon.

Linda: It's true! It came to ME in the stars, as well.

Stanley: Right! So, we gotta start working fast! Now, it's highly likely that Rat Finker will be heading for the Southside Wharf, because that's the area in the city that has the most rats living there!

Aaron: I'm guessing THAT'S why Snaptrap chose that location when HE stole it all those years ago!

Stanley: Most likely. But, we'll have to get the Kruger Rat back from Rat Finker before he can expose it to the full moon and control all the rats there! As for how to convert the others back to normal, I'll have to look through Issue #95, and try to find out! It might take me a couple minutes, but I'm sure I'll find it.

David: Well, we gotta find it soon! I don't wanna be friends with dairy products!

Stanley: Don't worry! We will! (starts looking through Issue #95)

\*In the meantime, the other Comicgers were discussing how to deal with Rat Finker when they go to the Wharf to try and stop him.\*

David: Trust me, you guys! Rat Finker's a pretty tough monster! And, pretty ugly to boot!

Paul: Yeah! He pretty much looks like Snaptrap's uglier brother since we're on the topic of him! (pulls up a picture of Snaptrap's brother, Matt) And, given how Snaptrap's family isn't so big in the looks department, that's saying a LOT! (throws the picture aside)

Steve: But, enough of that. We'll have to find out how to deal with Rat Finker the next time we face him. Anyone have any suggestions?

Julian: Well, according to history, rats were pretty much the cause of the bubonic plague! So, maybe we can vaccinate him with some antibiotics!

David: I dunno. That sounds a bit extreme, wouldn't you say?

Paul: And, besides, I believe it was the fleas that were on the rats that caused the plague.

Julian: (realizing Paul was right) Oh, yeah.

Aaron: Maybe we can use a giant mousetrap on him.

Maple: I dunno. Making a mousetrap THAT big would take us a lot of time to build. And, we only got until the full moon to do so!

Aaron: Hey! It's just a suggestion.

David: Well, when I was fighting him, Rat Finker seems to be using his tail as an attack against me! So, maybe if we get his tail caught in something, we might have a chance against him.

Steve: Good idea, David! But, how can we do it without him seeing it coming?

David: That I'm still working on. But, we'll have to distract him somehow.

Maple: Okay. But, how do we turn the others back to normal?

Paul: Well, the beams came from the aquamarine jewel eyes on his rat armor, so maybe we can destroy those eyes to reverse the effects.

Linda: Oh, yes! But, how can we...? (starts to get a vision of David in his Super Phoenix Battle Armor fighting with Rat Finker in the Wharf, and using his Phoenix Sword to strike at the armor's eyes, smashing them) I THINK I GOT IT!!!

Aaron: What is it, Linda?!? What did you see?

Linda: David, you'll have to use your Phoenix Sword to smash the jewels on the armor! That way, the effects on the others will be reversed, and they should turn back to normal!

David: Really?

Linda: Oh, yes! My predictions are only 99.99% right! So, there's a chance it could work!

Paul: So, there's only a 1.1% chance that David might not succeed, huh?

Linda: Seems so.

Maple: (feeling confident) Well, I still like those odds.

Aaron: Hmph. Wish I had YOUR enthusiasm.

\*Stanley was over at his desk looking through Issue #95 of the comics to find a way to convert the others back to normal, when he suddenly finds it. He gets up from his desk, and he goes over to the others to tell them.\*

Stanley: Guys! I found out how we can turn the others back to normal!

David: So did we, Dad! Linda had a vision of me using the Phoenix Sword to destroy the aquamarine jewel eyes on his armor! Maybe that can turn them back to normal.

Stanley: Well, she's actually right. (shows them a panel of Rat Finker getting the jewels on his armor getting destroyed) Destroying the aquamarine eyes will change his victims back to normal. But, we gotta do it before the full moon tonight, otherwise you kids will be overrun by rats under HIS control!

Steve: So, we'll have to be quick about it!

Julian: Well, I've never been to the Southside Wharf before. We'll have to know where it is from here in order to get there!

Paul: I can look it up on the tracking system, and print out the directions. (goes over to the tracking system, and looks up the location of the Southside Wharf)

\*As Paul was looking for the Wharf, David thinks that the best way to strike at the jewels on Rat Finker's armor is to get his tail caught in something. So, he begins discussing it with the others.\*

David: Well, guys. If we're gonna destroy those jewels, we'll have to get his tail caught in something so he can't dodge the attack!

Aaron: We've already ruled out antibiotics and mouse traps. So, maybe we could squash it with a crate? I mean, it's highly likely that we'll be fighting him in a warehouse. With a sunroof.

Maple: Yeah, a sunroof! That way, he can shine the Kruger Rat's eyes into the beams of the full moon!

Aaron: Exactly!

David: Well, we'll have to keep him distracted long enough for one of us to drop some crates on his tail. Once that happens, he's basically dead meat!

Stanley: Good idea, David! It'll be easier to strike at the monster if he can't escape!

David: Exactly, Dad!

Paul: (finds the location of the Wharf, and prints out the directions from the studio to there) There! I got the directions! Now, let's get out there, and stop Rat Finker! And, fast!

Stanley: (looking at his watch) You've exactly five hours until the full moon rises! Until then, you'll be up to your armpits in mind-controlled rats!

David: Dually noted, Dad! (grabs his helmet) C'mon, guys! Let's move!

Maple: Right behind you, kiddo! (holds up her Platinum Turner) Ready, guys?

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

Maple: (flicking the on switch on her Platinum Turner) Platinum Powers!

Maple, Aaron, Linda, and Julian: Turn On! (flicking the on switch on their Comic Turners, and morph into their Ranger forms)

\*Then, David, Paul, and Steve put their helmets back on, and they get on their Sketch Cycles with Maple, Aaron, Linda, and Julian, and they start making their way to the Southside Wharf. Following the directions that Paul printed out from the tracking system, they were able to find the place in an hour, giving them four hours to stop Rat Finker from using the Kruger Rat to control the rats there. They even brought William, Monica, and Katie with them for when they return to normal, they'll be needing their help. When they parked in front of the warehouse where they think Rat Finker may be hiding, Paul tries to contact Alyssa, but wasn't getting any responses.\*

Paul: Alyssa! ALYSSA!!!!  (cuts the feed) Ugh. No answer.

Aaron: Well, she DOES have other commitments, Paul.

Paul: I know, but we could REALLY use her help here!

Steve: Well, when she's ready, she'll come! There's no way she can turn down our pleas for help!

Aaron: Alright, then. I'm just saying that people can get wrapped up in other things that're just as important.

Steve: I know.

David: (stopping in front of the warehouse, and has a bit of a fangasm) Hang on, I need a little moment here! (starts reflecting on the first mission Team Katswell went on)

Maple: Uh, David? What're you doing?

David: Guys, we're basically on historic ground, here! The Southside Wharf is well-known for Team Katswell fans like me because it was where the Team first learned to work together, and defeated their first real villain together.

Maple: Yeah, I know! But, we'll sight-see later! Right now, we gotta stop Rat Finker from controlling those rats!

David: Oh, okay.

Aaron: Are William and the girls okay?

Linda: Yup, they are! (pats on the three cheese wheels on the Platinum 3-Wheeler) Too bad we can't serve them with fine wine, though.

Aaron: Well, we can't just eat our friends, y'know!

Linda: I know.  I was only joking.

Aaron:

Steve: Okay, enough talk! Let's get in there, and search the area for him! (activates his Holo-Shield)

David: Right! (draws his Phoenix Sword)

\*Then, the Comicgers all started sneaking into the warehouse, and start searching for Rat Finker. Sure enough, they were in the right place because there was a lot of Paraxis patrolling the place. They were very careful not to draw some attention from them. Eventually, they find Rat Finker and Rozoson getting everything set up for the big moment.\*

Rat Finker: How much longer until night fall, Rozoson?

Rozoson: Two hours and thirty minutes!

Rat Finker: Oh, goodie! In that time, I'll be able to control all the rats in the Wharf! And, soon, the master will have a rodent army to conquer this city!

Julian: So, THAT'S Rat Finker, huh? He looks even uglier in person!

David: Yeah, he's got a face only a mother could love, if he had one! But, we gotta make sure everyone's in position, and then, we attack!

\*Then, Paul, Steve, Maple, Aaron, and Linda also get into position, and wait to attack Rozoson and Rat Finker. Rat Finker holds up the Kruger Rat, as it was almost time for it to unleash its full power.\*

Rozoson: One hour left before night fall!

Rat Finker: Soon, my big moment of triumph will be upon me!

David: Now?

Steve: (starts inching a bit closer) NOW!!!! (pops out with his Holo-Shield)

David: (raises his sword up in the air) Super Phoenix Powers! Turn On! (then gets engulfed in magic flames, and activates his Super Phoenix Battle Armor) Somebody call for an exterminator?

Rozoson: The Comicgers!!! We must not let them thwart our plan!

Rat Finker: Way ahead of you! Paraxis, go get 'em!!!

\*Then, the Paraxis start to attack the Comicgers, as David starts heading towards Rat Finker.\*

David: I'm going after Rat Finker, and get back the Kruger Rat!

Julian: I'm going with you, David! I might be able to trap his tail with a crate!

Paul: Good idea, you guys! We'll be on Paraxi duty!

Maple: C'mon! Let's do it!

\*Then, the Comicger begin to fight off the Paraxis, while David and Julian run off to fight with Rat Finker. Maple aims her Platinum Rifle at a couple of Paraxis coming at her with their laser spears drawn, and she fires a couple of blasts of platinum energy at them. Once she was out of ammo, she starts using her Platinum Rifle as a club, and starts whacking at the Paraxis with it. Aaron has clashed his Sketch Mace with a Paraxi's laser spear, and he breaks off of it, and whacks him with it.\*

Aaron: Stand back, you freaks! I've got mace!  (whacks another Paraxi coming at him with the Sketch Mace)

\*As he was continuing to whack at the Paraxis with his Sketch Mace, Linda decides to use her new Art Laser to blast away at the Paraxis. After shooting at them a bit, she converts it to sword mode, and starts slashing at the Paraxis, even blocking some of the strikes with the blade. All while predicting what moves the Paraxis would make next.\*

Linda: (blocking a strike from a Paraxi's laser spear) Hey! I'm starting to get a feel to this Art Laser gizmo!  (slashes away at the Paraxis)

\*Meanwhile, Paul and Steve were double-teaming against a couple of Paraxis that were coming at them. Steve was blocking the shots from their laser spears, while Paul starts whacking at them with his Sketch Escrimas. Then, Rozoson comes charging at them with his spear, and begins to fight with Steve while Paul continues with the Paraxis.\*

Rozoson: Well, it's time I burned the flag right in front of me!

Steve: Yeah? Well, THIS flag is gonna kick your sorry bear butt! (throws a roundhouse kick at Rozoson)

\*Steve and Rozoson continue to fight as Paul was busy with the Paraxis. He whacks at the Paraxis with his Sketch Escrimas, and backflips out of the way of their laser spear blasts. Meanwhile, David was fighting with Rat Finker, trying to aim his Phoenix Sword at the aquamarine jewels on his armor. Rat Finker throws a couple of jabs at him, and swings his tail at him, hoping to knock him over. However, unbeknownst to Rat Finker, Julian was waiting behind a couple of crates, waiting for David to lure him over so he can drop one on his tail.\*

Rat Finker: Your outfit definitely looks different since the last time we fought! (throws a spinning crescent kick at David)

David: (dodges the kick) Yeah! I had it since last month! I was holding it back for a little bit!  (swings his sword at him)

\*Then, David continues to fight with Rat Finker while Julian still waits for the right moment to strike. While that was going on, Paul was still dealing with the Paraxis, and he flips over a sensor that triggered a cage trap. It was actually leftover from when Snaptrap used it when HE had the Kruger Rat, and it was actually intended to trap Kitty and Team Katswell. Luckily, as Paul set off the trap, he quickly sees the cage coming down, and jumps out of the way, allowing it to fall on the Paraxis instead of him.\*

Paul: Huh. I guess this trap was left over from when Snaptrap occupied it.

Paraxis: (screeching and clawing to get out)

Paul: Now, to see how David's doing! (rushes over to help David out)

\*As David was still fighting with Rat Finker, it was getting close to sundown, and the full moon is about to shine through the sunroof of the warehouse, allowing the Kruger Rat to control the minds of every rat in the Wharf. David was having a bit of trouble getting him into position so Julian can drop the crate on his tail, but Paul quickly comes in, and throws one of his Sketch Escrimas at Rat Finker, causing him to stumble backwards a bit.\*

Rat Finker: (getting hit on the nose with the Escrima) OW!!! My nose!! (stumbles backwards to where David wanted him to be)

David: NOW, JULIAN!!!

Julian: 'Bout time! (pushes the crate towards Rat Finker's tail, trapping him so he can't escape)

Rat Finker: (feeling his tail get trapped) OW!!!! Now, my tail hurts!

David: Okay, now to destroy those jewels, and rescue my friends! Phoenix Sword, Flame Up!!! FINAL ATTACK!!! (engulfs the Phoenix Sword in flames, and strikes it at Rat Finker's aquamarine jewels armor eyes)

\*Just as Linda predicted, David strikes at the eyes on Rat Finker's armor, destroying them. As soon as that happened, William, Katie, and Monica begin to transform back to their regular forms (William was still morphed, while Katie and Monica were still in their mummy dancer outfits). Back at the museum, which was locked up for the night, Gerald and Harold have also returned to normal, and have realized that the Kruger Rat had to much power for them to comprehend.\*

Gerald: Okay, I gotta admit. That Kruger Rat was FAR too powerful for mortal hands! (looks at his wings) Er... wings.

Harold: That's gotta be the smartest thing you've said all day.

Gerald: You said it! Now, let's scram before that rat monster turns us into cheese again! (starts running all around the museum with Harold)

\*Back at the Wharf, Maple, Aaron, and Linda ran back outside to see how William and the girls were doing.\*

Maple: (relieved to see they were alright) Oh, thank heavens you kids are alright.

William: Oh, yeah! It was weird being turned into cheese.

Monica: Well, I'm at least glad none of you guys tried to eat us!

Aaron: Yeah, me too. ^^ (sees Katie and Monica's mummy dancer outfits) Did I miss something with you girls?

Katie: Yeah.  It was a distraction from an earlier Paraxi encounter.

Monica: It's a long story, I can tell ya.

Linda: I'm sure it was.

\*Meanwhile, back inside the warehouse, David, Steve, Paul, and Julian were still fighting with Rat Finker and Rozoson, and it was only twenty minutes until sundown. They had that much time to try and take back the Kruger Rat from Rat Finker's possession. David was still striking at Rat Finker with his Phoenix Sword, while Julian comes in at him with his Sketch Claws. Steve and Paul were still fighting with Rozoson, and he was breathing fire at them in hopes of burning them down.\*

Paul: (dodging the flames) Hurry, guys! We don't have much time!

David: We're trying, Paul! (swings his sword at Rat Finker)

Rat Finker: (seeing the full moon about to come over the horizon) Oh, yeah! Now, it's time to control the minds of those rats! (raises the Kruger Rat over his head, and begins to control the rats)

Julian: I don't think so, pal! (leaps towards Rat Finker, and quickly swipes the Kruger Rat from his grasp with only five minutes left to spare)

Rozoson: (seeing Julian with the Kruger Rat in his possession) What?!? NO!!!!!

Julian: Now, let's get this thing somewhere so it can't control any rats!

\*David, Julian, Steve, and Paul quickly run out of the warehouse with the Kruger Rat, with Rozoson and Rat Finker chasing them. They meet up with the others, and see that William, Monica, and Katie were all back to normal.\*

David: Great! You guys are back to normal!

Monica: You bet we are!

Julian: Quick, we gotta cover this thing up before the full moon hits it!

Katie: Quick! Give it to me!

\*Julian throws the Kruger Rat to Katie, and she puts it in a secret pouch that's located in the Platinum 3-Wheeler. Then, Rat Finker and Rozoson come outside, and see that the sun has set, indicating that their plan has failed.\*

Rozoson: Curses! Our plan has failed!

Rat Finker: So much for commanding my own army of rats to help Darkanos conquer this city!

Blaludon: (appearing right beside him) Well, who needs an army of rats, when you can have one giant one instead? (blows one of her magic kisses at Rat Finker, making him grow)

Rat Finker: Now, it's MY turn to do the exterminating!

Katie: Looks like it's back to work for us!

Monica: Yup!

Katie + Monica: (holding up their Comic Turners as they convert back to their original forms) Comic Powers! Turn On! (quickly morphing into their Ranger forms)

Rozoson: You think this is over, children?!? (starts charging at the Comicgers with his spear)

\*Just then, Alyssa shows up in the harbor near the Wharf in the Comic Mariner, which caused Rozoson to stop entirely.\*

Alyssa: Sorry I'm late, you guys! It was Falafel Friday at my house. I got a little distracted at dinner!

Paul: Well, I'm at least glad you made it, Alyssa. ^^

Rozoson: Curses!!! Outnumbered once again! You may have won this round, you ingrates! But, I'll be back! (disappears in flames)

David: Man, he REALLY is a coward! (starts contacting Stanley) Dad, you'd better send the Ultimate Comic Carrier!

Stanley: On the way, son! (uses the gemstone on his pencil to bring the Ultimate Comic Carrier to life, as well as the other Action Vehicles, and they start making their way to the Wharf)

David: Thanks, Dad! (cuts the feed) C'mon, guys! Let's form the Ultimate Comic Carrier Robo! (flies up into the UCC with the others)

\*Then, the Comicgers begin to form the Ultimate Comic Carrier Robo. The Comic Turbine, Comic Gyro, and Astro Gold Delta go into the top right, while the Comic Mini, Comic Nitro, and Astro Gold Epsilon go into the bottom right. The Comic Tumbler, Comic Howitzer, and Astro Gold Beta go into the top left, while the Comic Armor, Comic Mariner, and Astro Gold Gamma go into the bottom left. The Liberty Eagle Mech lands on the perch in the front of the UCC, and the Comic Racer, Platinum Rider, and Astro Gold Alpha go into the top of it. Then, it starts transforming into the Ultimate Comic Carrier Robo. The perch detaches from the front, and the bottom starts turning around and forming the legs. The perch attaches to the front of the Carrier forming the chest, and the top breaks apart to form the arms. The control tower folds down and forms the head, where all the Comicgers meet up inside the cockpit.\*

Comicgers: Ultimate Comic Carrier Robo! Ready!

Rat Finker: Well, now! Lemme take a good bite outta THAT thing! (starts coming at the UCCR with his fangs, and bites at it)

\*As Rat Finker bites at the UCCR, it smacks him with its left hand, which caused him to fall off. Rat Finker gets back up, and starts throwing a couple of punches at the UCCR, which it blocks with its arms. It then throws a front kick at Rat Finker, which he retaliates by swinging his tail at it, which causes it to stumble backwards a bit. Once it finds its footing, the UCCR throws a left hook at Rat Finker, which causes him to fall over onto his face.\*

Maple: I'm getting sick of this guy! Let's send him back to the comics, and get this over with!

David: Couldn't agree more, Maple! Engage all weapons, and lock onto Rat Finker!

Comicgers: Ultimate Comic Carrier Blast! FINAL ATTACK!!! Ready, aim, FIRE!!!!

\*Then, the UCCR locks all its sentry cannons onto Rat Finker, and it starts firing at him in a blast of multicolored light. They all hit Rat Finker directly, and he starts to spatter electricity.\*

Rat Finker: DARN IT!!!! Looks like they ratted me out! (falls down and explodes, sending his spirit back to the comics)

\*Rat Finker's spirit finds a copy of Issue #95 in the booth of a security guard for the Wharf who seemed to be sleeping through the entire thing. Meanwhile, back at Darkanos' fortress, Darkanos wasn't too thrilled to hear that Rat Finker has been defeated by the Comicgers.\*

Darkanos: BLAST!!!! Another one has fallen just like all the others!!! And, worst of all, it was YOUR idea to begin with, Rozoson!

Rozoson: I never said it was a good idea, my lord! I promise, next time, I'll come up with a better idea to take out the Comicgers!

Darkanos: (calming down) Well, I suppose you're right. I DID say that we had as much of a chance with this plan as Snaptrap did, so I'll let it slide for now! (starts walking off) But, those twerps are seriously starting to get the better of me! I WILL bring them to their knees! Mark my words! (clenches his fist in anger, making it glow dark purple)

\*The next day, the Comicgers return the Kruger Rat to the museum, and the museum staff made sure to double the security on it to make sure that nobody tries to steal it again. As they left the Hall of Ancient Artifacts, Stanley was telling the others that the Kruger Rat was the inspiration for Rat Finker's armor in the first place.\*

William: So, the Kruger Rat was the inspiration for Rat Finker's armor? I guess it WAS to crazy to be a coincidence.

Stanley: Oh, yeah! I just thought the detailing on it was SO intricate, and thought it would make for a good monster. ^^

Aaron: Interesting.

David: Well, I, for one, am glad that the Kruger Rat is back in the museum where it belongs. And, with extra security surrounding it, I'm certain that no one will ever want to steal it again.

Julian: Oh, yes. That's definitely reassuring.

Steve: However, THAT meant that Katie and Monica ALSO had to return those veils to the Egyptian exhibit because they were also museum property!

Paul: (noticing that the girls were missing from the group) Speaking of Katie and Monica, where are they? And, I don't see Maple, Linda, or Alyssa anywhere either.

Everyone:

Stanley: I'm sure they've gone ahead of us. We'll definitely meet up with them!

\*Then, the Comicgers made their way to the Egyptian exhibit, and suddenly, they were greeted by Katie, Monica, Maple, Linda, and Alyssa, who were all still dressed as mummy dancers, and started dancing in front of them. Maple, Linda, and Alyssa were wearing similar outfits to Katie and Monica, but their veils were matching the colors of their Ranger forms just like theirs (except for Maple's, who were brown). They were dancing in front of them for a bit, and they ended their little performance to the boys' applause.\*

David, Stanley, William, Paul, Steve, Aaron, and Julian: (applauding for them)

Stanley: Very nice, girls. ^^

Julian: This is a very pleasant surprise. ^^

Katie: Yeah, the museum director saw Monica and I dancing on the security cameras, and thought it would be a cute way to bring in more visitors to the Egyptian exhibit.

Monica: Yeah. And, he found our sweat marks on them, so he let us keep them.

David: I see.

Linda: I hope we did okay, you guys. I'm not much of a dancer, y'know.

Aaron: Well, I think you did a marvelous job at it. ^^

Linda:

Maple: And, since I'm a student of the Qittaswell Sisters, I pulled it off very well. Speaking of which, the troupe is still looking for apprentices right now. So, maybe you girls can sign up, and hone your belly dancing skills. ^^

Katie: (thinking it's a great idea) That sounds like a great idea, Maple. ^^

Alyssa: (approaching Paul with a look of apology on her face) Look, Paul. I'm sorry for not answering your calls earlier. It's just that... I was so wrapped up in other things that were also important to me, and...

Paul: (cutting her off) It's fine, Alyssa. You had a lot going on, and I get it. Heck, there were times when I got wrapped up in all my inventions. So, it's all good.

Alyssa: Aw, thanks.  I'll be sure to try and answer your texts whenever I get a chance. ^^

Paul: No prob. ^^

Alyssa: (removing the veil from her face, and gives Paul a quick kiss on the cheek)

Paul:

Monica: (moving closer to everyone) Oh, and this is between the twelve of us, but I actually enjoyed dancing in this outfit. ^^ But, if you guys tell anyone this, there's gonna be heck to pay.

William: Okay, got it!

Stanley: Not to worry, Monica. Your secret is safe with us. ^^

Steve: Yeah! We'll never tell. ^^

Monica: Good!

\*Then, Gerald and Harold came out of King Mutt's tomb because they actually spent the night there after being locked in the museum overnight. The Comicgers and Stanley look behind them to see them coming towards them.\*

Gerald: Finally! Daylight! That means the museum's open!

Harold: Yeah! I'm starvin'!

David: Gerald? Harold? What were you guys doing in King Mutt's tomb?

Stanley: Were you boys locked in here overnight?

Gerald: Yeah, we were! That stupid Rat Finker monster turned us into cheese wheels! And, that Kruger Rat may have HAD something to do with it, too.

Harold: You were right, Mr. Baldwin! We shouldn't have messed with powers we couldn't comprehend!

Steve: Well, I'm glad you boys learned your lesson from that!

Aaron: Same here!

Harold: By the way, when do we eat? (holds up a bone he found in the tomb) I've been gnawing on this bone ever since we got locked up in here!

Katie: (recognizing the bone) Uh, Harold? Where'd you get that bone?

Harold: It was in the tomb, right on top of that mummy case! I had to gnaw on something, otherwise I'd starve.

Katie: (having a feeling of impending doom) Uh-oh!

William: Whaddaya mean "uh-oh?"

\*Then, everyone turns around to see a big, hulking dog mummy with green decaying skin that was preserved by cloth linen bandages storming out of the tomb looking for the bone that Gerald and Harold took. The mummy was King Mutt himself, and if you remove the bone from his sarcophagus, he'll come to life, and hunt down whoever's taken it.\*

King Mutt: Who stole my bone????

David: Uh, guys? Whaddaya say we let THIS one slide?

Stanley: Good idea, son!
