Let It Be A Shock To You (Transcript)

This is the eighth episode of Video Squadron: Gamerman.

One night, there was a winter storm blowing. Snow was coming down fast and the wind was blowing hard. Randy, Jack, Headbot, and Vix were at the arcade, watching the wind blowing from inside.

Jack: This winter storm has gotten to be so bad. I sure hope we don't have to have the arcade be closed tomorrow.

Vix: Why would you need the arcade to be closed, Jack?

Randy: Sometimes when there's bad weather, it can cause the power to go out. No power, no games.

Headbot: But we're not effected by that Vix. Since we don't run on the city's power.

Vix: I knew that. I should know because I have not been running on any city power my whole life. No plugs on me.

Headbot: Me neither.

Jack: Randy is right. Sometimes, even if the power does stay on, not a lot of people will come to the arcade because of all the icy roads. Schools have even been closed down sometimes.

Just then, the power did go out. Even the city lights outside were out. It was completely dark now.

Randy: Uh oh. What'll we do?

Just then, Headbot and Vix both had their eyes light up like flashlights.

Vix: No worries. I have it handled.

Headbot: Me, too.

Randy: Oh yeah. I forgot Headbot's eyes could work as a flashlight.

Jack: Hopefully the power will be brought back up by tomorrow.

Randy: Yeah. I hope so, too. It's so annoying when the power goes out. But hey, at least it wasn't a monster that caused all of this. It was the weather.

Randy however was wrong. Out in the power plant, a monster had just damaged the power box. This monster was a half-cow, half-cyborg like monster. This was Saiborg.

Saiborg: Hehehehe. Without power, the Gamerman will never be able to beat me. Hehahahahaha.

The next morning, the workmen saw the damage that was down and they got to work on it. When the power came back on, everyone saw on the news about what had happened.

Male Dog News Reporter: This just in, the blackout last night was not the weather's fault as everyone may have assumed. If anyone came up with a conspiracy theory that some bozo damaged the power box, you'd be right for once. We don't know who caused it to happen, but police are investigating on it right now.

Randy and his friends were watching the TV from his house.

Randy: So it must have been a monster.

Ash: I knew that someone deliberately causing the power to go out had to happen eventually.

Felicia: But at least the power is back up.

Kasumi: Shame there aren't a lot of people at the arcade this morning. Except for Jake and Justin.

At the arcade, Jake and Justin were having fun playing the games in the otherwise empty arcade.

Jake: This is so fun, Justin. Having the whole arcade to ourselves.

Justin: Yeah. I've never been in an arcade when nobody else was here before. Except for my friend, Jake.

(Back at the house)

Jack: They have fun while that lasts, but I'm sure that the roads will be clear and more gamers will come into the arcade.

William: Vix, do you know where this monster could be?

Vix: No idea. I can't believe I didn't detect it last night. The weather must have been messing with my tracking signals.

Randy: What about now?

Vix: Hmmmm....Nope. My guess is, this monster went back to the ship.

And indeed it had. Gigalord was quite pleased with the actions it had made last night.

Gigalord: Very good, Saiborg. You are one of Dr. Squeak's better creations.

Saiborg: Thank you, my lord.

Gigalord: Well, at least until he can get Queen Vira up and about again. How's the work on that coming along?

Dr. Squeak: Still trying to figure it out. Maybe like this? (Tries something, causing Vira's screen the static a bit, and then stop) No. Not that.

Gigalord: Just figure it out. In the meantime, Saiborg has some work to do. Get down there and fight the Gamermen.

Saiborg: But I thought causing that power outage would stop them from being a threat.

Gigalord: Your job is far from over, Saiborg. I thought the Gamerman wouldn't be able to fact you, too. But considering the power in the city came back, I'd like for you to use your electric rods at people's houses and steal their energy. That's sure to get the Gamermen's attention.

Saiborg: As you wish, Gigalord. (She leaves)

Down on the surface, Saiborg started using her electric rods to steal electricity from different people's houses, making her stronger.

Saiborg: Ahahahaha. (Moves to the next house and does the same thing)

Over at the arcade,Vix managed to get the signal for Saiborg.

Vix: The monster is out now. Quick, get the Gamermen.

Jack: (Turns his communicator on) Guys, hurry down here. Vix has sighted the monster.

Randy's Voice: We'll be right down, Uncle Jack.

They soon arrived to the basement where Jack, Headbot, and Vix were.

William: What is the monster doing this time, Vix?

Vix: This monster is called Saiborg. She's a monster stealing energy from people's houses.

Ash: As if that hasn't gotten old yet.

Vix: You'll need to stop her before too many people's houses go out. If all the electricity in the city is drained, we could have a blackout for the next couple of months. Maybe years, even.

Headbot: Fiery Circuits. A blackout for that long. I'd have to keep my eyes light.

Jack: Keeping them lit for that long would cause your energy to run down, Headbot.

Headbot: That's what makes it bad.

Randy: We're on it, Vix.

They transformed and hurried out to find Saiborg.

Saiborg: Ah, the Gamermen.

Kasumi: So you're the one who caused the blackout last night, didn't you?

Saiborg: Of course I did. And soon, there will be a blackout again. It's just going to be taking a little longer than before.

Randy: We won't let that happen, won't we, guys?

Others: Right.

(Up in the ship)

Gigalord: Ninjakuma, send down some polygores to help Saiborg.

Ninjakuma: Yes, boss.

Some polygores were released from the ship and they joined with Saiborg and started to fight the Gamermen. (After a couple minutes of battling the polygores)

Saiborg: So you're here to fight for your power, huh? Well, take it then. (Throws the electric rods at the Gamermen, shocking them and causing them to demorph)

Felicia: Ugh. Our suits.

Ash: She's shocked us out of them.

William: It might be too dangerous to fight her like this.

Saiborg: Indeed it would be. (Gets her rods ready to finish off the Gamermen, when she gets knocked back) What the?

Then, Vix showed up.

Vix: You won't be harming the Gamermen, you monster.

Saiborg: Why you.

Vix: Quickly, guys. Let's get out of here.

Randy: Thank you, Vix.

And they hurried away.

Saiborg: I'll be super charged when we meet again.

At the arcade, the Gamermen couldn't understand how Saiborg had gotten to be so powerful.

Ash: She shocked us out of our suits.

Felicia: She certainly knows how to put the power in.

Kasumi: Is there any way we can stop her?

Jack: My guess is, if you can make her drain the electricity that she has right now. You should be able to beat her.

Randy: But how will we drain the electricity that she has?

Vix: I was able to analyze Saiborg and have figured out how she drains her energy. She uses her electric rods to do it.

William: So, are you saying we need to use those electric rods ourselves to steal her energy? And if we do that, can we restore the energy that she's taken from the other houses?

Vix: It is possible.

William: I think I have a better idea. Maybe we could set up a device on the arcade that allows it to absorb Saiborg's energy instead of her absorbing the arcades. We could trick Saiborg into draining the energy at the arcade, then we could send it all back to where it came from.

Kasumi: That sounds like a good plan.

Jack: We'll need to work fast on this. Time will tell when she's drained everything.

Randy: But what if she comes to the arcade before the machine is finished? If she's already drained it, she won't be coming back for it.

Felicia: That is a good point. Maybe one of us should be on the lookout for her. Then when she does come, we could attack.

William: How can we attack when she's too powerful, though?

Felicia: That is a good question. Maybe, my dragon robot could scare her off?

Kasumi: That could work.

Jack: It's best that we don't use the giant robots unless there's an actual giant monster out there, guys. Let me just get to work on the device and hopefully, I'll have it finished by the time she makes her way here.

Vix: We better hurry. I can sense she is 5 blocks away. We'll have to have it ready before she gets here.

So Jack started working on the energy absorbing device to absorb the energy from Saiborg. While the Gamermen waiting, they went into the arcade to do some work there.

Kasumi: I can see Jake and Justin are still here.

Felicia: It's not everyday the arcade is empty and only two customers show up.

Jake: These games are so fun. With no one else here, we could do this all day.

Justin: Or until our gaming money runs out.

Jake: That won't happen with me for a while.

Felicia: You know, boys. Don't you think you should spend your money on other things besides playing video games?

William: There is a whole world of things you can spend your money on instead. Like, maybe a video game device you can play at your house.

Justin: Wait, who plays video games at their house?

Randy: I do.

Jake: That's because you live here, Randy. And that your uncle is the owner of the arcade.

Kasumi: I play video games at my house, too. One of my favorites is about a boy in green clothes who saves a land for a great evil.

Ash: But it's not just video games you can buy, there's also other great things, too.

Jake: We're sticking to playing games. Right, Justin?

Justin: Right.

And they resumed playing.

Kasumi: I get the feeling their moms are going to be made at them.

Randy: Well, it is an unusual day here at the arcade where they're the only visitors. Besides, it helps Uncle Jack with earning money.

Ash: You really think he'd want money from those bozos?

Randy: He'll take money from whoever is willing to pay him. Including those bozos.

Jack continued work on the device to absorb Saiborg's energy when she tries to see the arcade's, Vix was standing and witnessing Saiborg stealing the electricity from people's houses and other places.

Vix: She's starting to head towards the arcade.

Jack: I've almost got the device done. Just give me a few minutes.

Vix: You better finish it fast, Jack. She won't wait for you.

Jack: Got it. I'll get it set up to the arcade's power box.

Jack hurried to the power box and attacked the device to it.

Jack: There. Now, when Saiborg tries draining the energy from the arcade, we'll take her energy instead. (Turns the communicator on) Guys, I got the device finished. Be ready to attack her when she's finished.

Randy: Got it, Uncle Jack. Let's transform in the back so Jake and Justin don't see us.

They hurried to the back while Jake and Justin where still glued to the video games. Saiborg showed up to the arcade.

Saiborg: Ah. The arcade, a good place to steal energy from. Plenty of power it has. (Begins using her rods to drain the energy) Huh? Wait a minute. What's happening. I'm....getting....weaker?

The energy that Saiborg had zapped from people's houses was now being absorbed into the device Jack had set up.

Saiborg: No. I must stop. Oh dear, I can't stop. (Drops the rod) My power. It's been drained.

Randy: That's right, Saiborg.

Randy and the other Gamermen ran out in their suits.

Saiborg: How can it be?

William: The owner of the arcade outsmarted you.

Felicia: He installed a device that will take your energy instead of allowing you to take his.

Kasumi: He certainly was quite helpful in that.

Randy: Now. To take this cow freak out.

They got their weapons out and started fighting Saiborg. They each make attacks towards her for a while. (After they've all attack)

Saiborg: I don't believe it. Beaten by the Gamermen.

Darktail: (Appears) It isn't over yet. (Zaps Saiborg with her tail's lightning and made her grow)

Saiborg: Now I feel really energized.

Randy: We'll need to call for the Gamerman Fighting Robots.

The Gamerman Fighting Robots then appeared and they got on board them. They started attacking Saiborg with their individual mechs first. William used his mechs sound blasts at Saiborg, then Kasumi rammed her race car at Saiborg's feet, causing her to trip, then Ash fired missiles at her, then Felicia used her dragon's fire breath to breath fire at her. Gamer Fighting Fang made a few hits with Saiborg as well. Then Saiborg blasted some energy at them.

Randy: Whoa. She sure is one tough cow.

Jack: Gamermen, I forgot to mention this last time, but the robots can combine. Use that to battle Saiborg.

Randy: Good idea, Uncle Jack. Let's combine guys. Uncle Jack, how do we do it?

Jack: Easy. Just hit "Combine".

Randy: Right. (Pushes the button that says combine)

(The others do so as well)

Randy: Alright. Time to combine.

Felicia's dragon's head detached from it's body and the rest of the body then formed legs. Gamer Fighter Fang then got into position as the main torso of the mech with the dragon head being attached to it's chest. Then Ash's jet came down and formed a back coverage as well as a helmet over Gamer Fighter Fang's head. Kasumi's car and William's sound speakers then formed arms. All of the Gamermen were now within Gamer Fighting Fang's cockpit.

Jack: Everyone, may I present to you, Gamer Master!

Randy: A good name, Uncle Jack. Now, let's send this cow to the slaughter house.

Gamer Master approached Saiborg and starting attacking at her.

Saiborg: Ooh! (Tries to use electric energy again, but it doesn't work) What?! Oh come on!

Kasumi: Nice try.

William: But that won't work this time.

Felicia: Fire blast.

The dragon's head on the chest then fired fire at Saiborg.

Saiborg: AAAAH! This again?

Ash: Jet blaster.

Gamer Master: (A blaster appears in it's hand and it blasts at Saiborg)

Saiborg: AAAH!

Randy: Now to finish her off. Sword.

The sword of Gamer Fighting Fang then appeared, but it had some added detail to it for the combination.

Randy: Gamer Master Sword.

All: Final Strike!

Gamer Master then rose the sword up, then slashed at Saiborg.

Saiborg: AAAAH! I've should've gone to the milk factory! (Falls down and explodes)

Later on, Jack got the device out as the Gamerman, now demorphed, came out of Gamer Master.

Jack: Alright. I just need to press this button right here and (pushes a button, causing the electricity to spread around the city) all the electricity that Saiborg stole goes back to where it came from.

Vix: You did well with your first battle with Gamer Master, guys.

Headbot: Certainly one cool looking robot.

Randy: By the way, are Jake and Justin still in the arcade?

Jack: Yep. So we better get Gamer Master back into the basement before they see it.

Randy: No problem.

Later on, Jake and Justin were still playing video games at the arcade when Jack came up to them.

Jack: Boys, the arcade is going to be closing soon. So you better head on home.

Jake: It was a fun day at least.

Jack: Just don't expect things to be like this tomorrow. Also, focus on other things you could be spending your money on. I appreciate you supporting my arcade, but don't spend all your money on that.

Justin: (Whispering to Jake) Sounds ungrateful to me.

Jake: Let's just get out of here.

And the two left. After they had, the Gamermen came up to Jack.

Felicia: Did they finally leave?

Jack: Yep.

Kasumi: Surely they will have gotten tired of these arcade games. I'd get tired of them if I played them all day.

Randy: Me, too. At least we still have our power up. (The lights then turned off)

All: AAAH!

(The lights then turned back on)

Felicia: Wait its back on?

Kasumi: Then who's flickering with the lights?

Headbot: (Shown to be next to the light switch) Oops. That was me. That was me.

Everyone then laughed at what happened. Even Headbot laughed.
