Brother Rivalry (Transcript)

This is the 19th episode of Soaring Squadron: Skyranger.

The mystery behind Sky Orange's identity was finally revealed. He was revealed to be none other than Jeff's little brother, Austin. While the others were a bit surprised at this at first, they eventually welcomed him to the team.

Jeff: So, you snuck on board my Bird Guardian without us knowing, Austin?

Austin: Yeah. I knew it was a bad idea, but I really wanted to see the land below the clouds for myself. I just didn't think I'd be chosen to becoming a Skyranger like you.

(Flashback of Chapter 14 is shown of Sky Orange emerging.)

Austin VO: I was amazed that the Sky Orange powers made my body grow bigger, it was like I had grownup. In order to keep my identity hidden. (Deeper voice.) I talked like this. (Normal voice.) Then that way, you'd think I was somebody else.

(Flashback ends.)

Tiffany: To be quite honest, I did think there was something familiar about that voice. I just couldn't figure it out.

Austin: The Orange Bird Guardian turned out to be living in a cave underneath the village. I heard his cries for help and followed it.

(Flashback of Chapter 15 where Austin is in the cave is shown.)

Austin VO: He was very surprised that the Orange Sky Bracelet chose me, but then again, who wouldn't be?

(Flashback ends.)

Austin: But as time went on, I started to feel guilty for hiding my face from you guys.

Jeff went up to his little brother.

Jeff: Austin, it's OK. You don't have to hide anymore. We're a team. We'll always be there for one another. Won't we, guys?

Everybody agreed.

Austin: Thanks, guys.

Headmaster: Austin, you might be part of the team now, but I think you need some training before you actually go out to fight.

Dina: But Dad, we didn't need any training when we first got our powers.

Headmaster: That is true, but Austin is a kid while the rest of you are all teenagers.

Marcus: Not quite for me. I'm about 20. So I'm basically an adult now.

Headmaster: Adult, teenager, you're about the same age as everybody else, Marcus.

Marcus: Yeah, I guess that's right.

Later on the headmaster took the Pursworth Brothers to a floating island.

Headmaster: He we are boys, this is where Austin shall be training. Jeff, are you prepared to teach your brother how to really fight?

Jeff: Of course, sir.

Headmaster: OK. Good. Now here are your wooden swords. (Hands one to each.)

Austin: A wooden sword? Why not a real one?

Jeff: Because this is a training session, Austin. But good point, you don't even have your own weapon yet.

Austin: When will I get a weapon?

Headmaster: I don't know, Austin.

Jeff: The Bird Guardians gave me and the others our weapons during our first monster attack. So maybe they'll give you one, too?

Austin: Well, I should hope so.

Headmaster: OK, you boys have fun training. I need to get back to Cloudnoia. (Climbs onto his robo bird and flies away.)

Meanwhile in Bananabeard's ship...

Bananabeard: So Sky Orange finally reveals himself. But a puny child? That was unexpected.

Primius: Well now we have 6 Skyrangers to deal with. Don't we, captain?

Bananabeard: It shouldn't be too much of an issue with one of them being a kid.

Then a new monster came in carrying a tray. This monster was Sour Dough. He was a monster made out of dough. He was in charge of cooking meals for the crew.

Sour Dough: Here you are, sir. Banana-sandwiches as ordered.

Bananabeard: (Takes a bit from one, but then spits.) Hey, this tastes sour.

Sour Dough: Well I am Sour Dough after all. Nothing I make is ever sweet.

Bananabeard: It's a wonder why we even put up with you.

Then Bananabeard got an idea.

Bananabeard: I know, how about you instead cause some chaos in the land below the clouds. Just be on the look out for the Skyrangers. They're now six of them.

Sour Dough: How many where there before, sir?

Bananabeard: Before, there was just 5, but a 6th member has emerged.

The Pursworth Brothers started their training where they used their wooden swords to fight one another. The key for each of them was to try and stop one another. Jeff kept knocking Austin to the ground.

Austin: Oof!

Jeff: Austin, you've got to try harder. You can't keep letting yourself fall to the ground like that.

Austin: But you keep pushing me.

Jeff: Yeah, but the key is to not let me do it. How will you ever learn how to fight properly if I just go easy on you?

Austin: I've fought of monsters pretty well myself. Did you see me fight before?

Jeff: Austin, Headmaster Daschsman says you need some training.

Austin: He thinks I need training. I'm sure I'd be good enough to be a leader. I'd say even better than you.

Jeff: Now Austin, what kind of a team has a kid leading a bunch of teenagers?

Austin: Hey, it could be a new thing.

Then Jeff got a call from Headmaster Daschsman.

Jeff: What is it, sir?

Headmaster's Voice: There is an attack in a city right below you. You better hurry, the others are already on their way.

Jeff: Got it. We're on our way. (Turns off the communicator.) Austin, they need us.

Austin: Alright, but I still think I'd do a better job at leader than you.

Jeff: (rolled eyes)

The brothers got onto their Bird Guardians and headed for the surface. They soon made their way to a park and transformed.

Jeff: Alright, little bro. Now we need to find our team mates.

Austin: I can find them on my own, thank you very much! (Runs off.)

Jeff: Ugh. And I thought his running days were over. Fine, if you want some competition, then it's what you'll get.

So the brothers went their separate ways. Unknown to then, Sour Dough was lurking around in the bushes. He decided to follow Jeff. Jeff was looking around for his team-mates.

Jeff: Hey guys. Guys? Dina? Tiffany? Reg? Marcus? Where are you guys?

Then, Sour Dough came out.

Sour Dough: Hehehe. So you and your little bro chose to do things separately eh?

Jeff: He, it's what he asked for.

Sour Dough: Well, then take this. (Takes out a large spatula, moves it under Jeff's feet, and then flips him.)

Jeff: Woah! (Falls to the ground.)

Sour Dough: You're not doing so well without your friends or your brother.

Jeff: That isn't so. I can beat you all on my own. (Gets out his blade tonfas and starts attacking Sour Dough, but no damage is taken.) What the?

Sour Dough: Hehehe. You can't hurt me, I'm made of dough. Hahaha. (Runs off.)

Jeff: Hey, get back here!

Austin was looking around for his team-mates as well.

Austin: Where are those guys. I'm sure they'd have to be around here somewhere.

Then Sour Dough appeared in front of him.

Sour Dough: Ah, so you're to new Skyranger huh? I heard you were suppose to be a little kid, you don't look like one to me.

Austin: Maybe not at the moment, but it doesn't matter if I'm a kid or an adult. (Austin goes to attack Sour Dough with his bare fists, but his hand gets stuck.) Urgh. Uh...

Sour Dough: Hahaha. Take this. (Attacks with the spatula.)

Austin: Argh! (Falls to the ground.)

Sour Dough: Is that all you've got?

Austin: (Gets up. No, it isn't all that I've got. I can do better than that.)

Sour Dough: Then go ahead and try.

(Austin goes and makes a kick at Sour Dough, but his foot gets stuck.)

Austin: Uh oh.

Sour Dough: (Attacks with the spatula.)

Austin: Ow!

Sour Dough then zipped away again.

Austin: Hey, get back here.

Austin went off after Sour Dough, but then he crashed into Jeff.

Both: OW! (Falls to the ground. Then gets up.)

Austin: Hey, I was chasing after him.

Jeff: So was I. This guy is going to be pretty tricky.

Austin: Did you find our friends?

Jeff: No.

Austin: Well, once they've seen how well I've done, they're sure to make me their new leader.

Jeff: You know nothing about leading, Austin.

Austin: Well you know what, neither did you when you first started this job.

Then Sour Dough appeared again and attacked them both.

Sour Dough: Ah, I see two brothers are still not getting along.

Jeff: Austin, it shouldn't matter who's leading. We're a team. Just because you're the leader, doesn't mean you make all the decisions or do all the work.

Austin: You're right, Jeff. I was silly to think that being a leader meant everything.

Jeff: Let's try to figure out what we need to do to get the better of this guy.

Austin: Well, he's made out of dough. I know, what we need is to get him hot enough to made him unmoveable.

Jeff: You mean unable to move.

Austin: I think that's what I said!

Jeff: No argument. Let's just find something hot enough to heat him up.

Sour Dough approached them again. But the brothers started to run off.

Sour Dough: Hey, you get back here.

The brothers ran for a bit, trying to lure Sour Dough away from them.

Jeff: If we can find the others, I'm sure we can give this guy enough heat.

The other four Skyrangers were searching for Jeff and Austin, too.

Dina: There they are, guys.

(All runs up to the brothers.)

Reggie: Where have you guys, been? We've been looking for you.

Jeff: No time to chat, we're trying to get away from Sour Dough.

Tiffany: Oh, so you've found him, too.

Marcus: We tried to beat him, but he was too soft.

Jeff: Well, now we're all together. So what should we do?

Sour Dough caught up with them.

Sour Dough: So you're all together now, huh.

Jeff: That's right and we're now all working together now.

Dina: Should we try the weapons combined blaster?

Jeff: I'm not sure if that'll work, Dina.

Austin: It should. It is very powerful isn't it, Jeff?

Jeff: I guess you're right. Let's do this.

(They combined their weapons together.)

Jeff: (Looks at Austin.) I'm sorry, Austin.

Austin: It's OK. Just do what you need to.

Jeff: Alright. Now fire! (They fired at Sour Dough.)

But Sour Dough made himself grow giant before it hit him.

Sour Dough: Nuh-uh-uh. Not this time.

Tiffany: Ah, he grew on his own.

Jeff: Well, you know what that means. We need the Bird Guardians now.

(The Bird Guardians all arrived and the core 5 formed Sky Flyer King. Then the Skyrangers boarded them.)

Jeff: OK, Austin. We should now work together to take this monster down.

Austin: Hey, I've done this before. Only now you know who I am under this suit.

Sour Dough: (Uses his spatula to attack both Sky Flyer King and the Orange Bird Guardian.)

Sky Flyer King: (Punches Sour Dough, but his hand gets stuck.)

Sour Dough: (Prepares to attack again, but gets knocked off by the Orange Bird Guardian.)

Jeff: Nice going, Austin.

Reggie: That kid ain't half bad.

Marcus: I'll say.

The Orange Bird Guardian then managed to secure Sour Dough.

Austin: Jeff, now. Finish him off.

Jeff: Right. (Presses the button to make the sword appear.)

Sky Flyer King: (Finishes off Sour Dough.)

Austin: Nice going.

Jeff: (thanks for everything!)

Bananabeard saw Sour Dough's defeat.

Bananabeard: So even the dough monster fails me, eh?

Panthina: At least now I won't have to deal with his sour meals.

Lizahim: Yeah. I never liked them either.

Bananabeard: Is that all that matters to you two?! Uhhhhhhh!

In the Cloudnoia Library, Headmaster Daschsman spoke with the brothers.

Headmaster: I'd say you two have done really well. Sure you had to settle your differences, but on the end, you two went through.

Austin: I've learned what teamwork really meant. It doesn't mean doing all the work and making all the decisions, it means getting the job done no matter how it is done.

Jeff: That's right, Austin.

Headmaster: I guess you're pretty good in your battles, Austin. Maybe you didn't need training like I thought you would.

Austin: Yeah, but it would still be good to have a weapon.

Jeff: All in good time, Austin. All in good time.
