Grease and Oil (Transcript)

This is the 7th episode of Soaring Squadron: Skyranger.

Up in the Daschsman's Library, our heroes were looking through some books.

Dina: Dad says that these books can give up more ideas about the surface, such as what methods of transportation people use down there.

Marcus: Well, we use our robo-birds to get around.

Jeff: But the people below use other vehicles that Cloudnoia doesn't have.

Reggie: Like a car, right? That's what Alanna uses.

Jeff: But there's a lot more than just cars, Reggie. There's also planes, boats, and trains.

Tiffany: Trains?

Jeff: Yes. Trains. They're these things that run on stuff called rails, (Shows pictures as he talks about them.) and they can pull cargo and people around. The people ride in these things called coaches.

Marcus: Hmmmm. Interesting.

Jeff: There are different types of engines that they use. There are steam engines which use coal and water, then diesel engines that use fuel, and electric engines, that run on electricity.

Tiffany: How come there are so many different types?

Jeff: I think some of them are improvement models.

Tiffany: Oh. OK. I think that sounds reasonable.

Marcus: I think I'd like to ride on a train at some point.

Reggie: But we have our Bird Guardians to get around. Why would we use a train to get some place?

Marcus: I just think it would be nice. That's all, Reg.

Reggie: Uh....OK.

Dina: I think I like the diesel locomotives the best. They seem more modern.

Marcus: But the steam engines look pretty cool, too.

Dina: But they have smoke coming out of those tall things on them.

Jeff: Those are called funnels, according to the book. Also, that's steam you're talking about. Not smoke.

Dina: Oh. (sweat dropped)

Jeff: (pat pat)

Over in Bananabeard's ship....

Bananabeard: Lizahim and Panthina can't send down any decent monster. Who should I let pick the monster for this next attack?

Wither Vain: Captain, may I pick the next monster to attack?

Bananabeard: Well, I suppose you could.

Wither Vain: Thank you, Captain. (Turns around to call.) Dangerous Diesel!

A monster with a body in the shape of a diesel shunter came in.

Wither Vain: Dangerous Diesel can shoot toxic black smoke around and can even turn himself into an actual diesel locomotive. In fact I have an interesting way to start out scheme with him. Muahahaha.

That night on the surface, Wither Vain and Dangerous Diesel made their way to a train yard. They went into an engine shed where there was a diesel shunter that looked the same as Dangerous Diesel.

Wither Vain: OK. Now to switch you with this diesel shunter. (Turns to a Bankie and he nods and goes into the diesel shunter's cab and moves it out of the shed.)

Dangerous Diesel: (Takes the place of the diesel shunter and turns himself into one.) (Laughs evilly.)

The next day, an engineer went into the shed to climb on board the diesel engine.

Male Hippo Engineer: Alright. Let's start this day off. (Turns on the engine and it moves out of the shed. He then pulls the lever to stop the engine, but it doesn't stop.) Huh? (Tries again, but nothing happens.) What's going on? Why won't you stop?

The engine pushed some freight cars and crashed them through some buffers.

Male Hippo Engineer: What? Stop this! (Keeps trying on the lever.) Stop. We're going to derail.

But the engine stopped right before the tracks ended and then backed up.

Male Hippo Engineer: Hey. What's going on?

The engine then crashed into the shed.

Male Hippo Engineer: Aaaah! (Climbs out and watches as it continues to wreck the train-yard.) What the?

The engine continued to wreck the placer and then took it's true form as Dangerous Diesel.

Male Hippo Engineer: What? What are you?

Dangerous Diesel: I switched places with your diesel shunter. (Lets out the toxic gas.)

Male Hippo Engineer: What's this? (Coughs.)

Dangerous Diesel: Hehe. (Gets hit.) Oof! (Falls to the ground.) What?

It was our heroes that arrived.

Jeff: Hold it right there.

Dina: You were impersonating a diesel shunter!

Dangerous Diesel: So I did. What will you do about that?

Jeff: We'll defeat you, that's what.

All: Sky Change. (Transforms.)

Male Hippo Engineer: Huh? The Skyrangers.

The Skyrangers began to fight with Dangerous Diesel. (Jeff first fights him, then Dina gives the monster a few hits, then Reggie fights him, then Marcus, and then Tiffany. Tiffany falls to the ground.)

Tiffany: (Gets out her shield.) Shield attack. (Throws it at Dangerous Diesel and hits him on the head.)

Dangerous Diesel: Ow. ERRRGH! Take this. (Sprays the toxic gas.)

Tiffany: (Gets out of the way.) Oh man.

Dangerous Diesel: Hey. Stand still! (Gets hit by Dina's sword.)

Dina: She doesn't have to stand still for you.

Dangerous Diesel: Oh really? (Sprays at Dina.)

Dina: (Gets out of the way.)

Jeff: Gee. This guy is pretty tricky.

Dangerous Diesel: You have no idea what you're dealing with.

Jeff: There has to be something we can do to stop him?

Marcus: Maybe we could use a steam engine?

Jeff: How will that work, Marcus?

Marcus: I'm not sure. But steam vs diesel, right?

Reggie: We could try it out.

Tiffany: (Goes to the hippo engineer.) Sir, do you have any steam engines in this yard?

Hippo Engineer: We have one. It's in the back shed at the end of the yard.

Jeff: Got it. Let's go find that steam engine, guys.

And they went off.

Dangerous Diesel: Hehehe. Running away, eh? Hahahaha.

Jeff: We're not running away, we're getting a secret weapon.

They made their way to the engine shed with the steam engine.

Marcus: Looks pretty amazing. Can I drive it, Jeff?

Jeff: Go for it, Mark.

Marcus: Yes. (Climbs on board the cab of the engine and pulls the lever.) I'm not sure if I can do this.

The girls opened the engine doors and Marcus moved the engine out. Marcus drove the engine to Dangerous Diesel.

Marcus: Now we need to get the steam to go onto Dangerous Diesel. Any ideas?

The others ran up.

Jeff: Marcus has a good point. Anything we can use to create wind?

Dina: We could use the Bird Guardian's wings?

Jeff: That should work. I call for the Red Bird Guardian.

The Red Bird Guardian soon showed up.

Jeff: Red Bird Guardian, use your wings to create a wind to blow the steam onto the monster.

The Red Bird Guardian did just that. It flapped it's wings and the steam blew onto Dangerous Diesel.

Dangerous Diesel: No. It can't be.

Reggie: I think it's working. He's getting weaker.

Soon the steam cleared and Dangerous Diesel was lying on the ground.

Jeff: Good work guys. I think we got him.

Marcus: Hey, it was fun driving this engine. (Climbs down from the engine and joins with the others.)

Dina: Uh oh, guys. I don't think our job here is finished yet. Look. (Points to show Bananabeard's ship coming in.)

Reggie: Of course this has to happen.

(A storm cloud comes out of the door in front of Bananabeard's ship and lightning strikes onto Dangerous Diesel.)

Dangerous Diesel: Muahahaha.

Jeff: We better for Sky Flyer King and finish this off.

The Skyrangers soon formed Sky Flier King and got ready to face off against Dangerous Diesel.

Dangerous Diesel: Oh looky. A giant robot for me to destroy.

Jeff: The only one that's getting destroyed around here is you.  (Presses the button to make the sword appear.)

Sky Flyer King: (Starts to attack Dangerous Diesel with the sword.)

Dangerous Diesel: Ow. Oof. Ow. Ow man. (Sprays some gas at Sky Flyer King.)

(The rangers start to cough.)

Reggie: Oh man.

Marcus: I don't know if I can take much more of this.

Jeff: Sword spin!

Sky Flyer King: (Spins around to clear the gas.)

Dangerous Diesel: What?

Jeff: Nice try, Diesel. Now to finish this. Lightning...

All: Sword Strike!

Sky Flier King: Lighting Sword Strike! (Finishes off Dangerous Diesel and said monster falls down and blows up.)

Later on, our heroes helped the engineer find the real diesel. They found it derailed.

Jeff: Here it is, sir. Bananabeard must have had one of his Bankies drives it off the tracks.

Hippo Engineer: Thanks for your help. I'll tell my yard manager what happened and get a crane to get this diesel shunter back onto the tracks.

Dina: You know, Marcus, I think you were right that steam engines are cooler than diesel engines.

Marcus: Really?

Dina: Yeah. They really come in handy.

Hippo Engineer: We don't use steam engines very often anymore. Most of them these days are out of service.

Jeff: But I have to say, your steam engine came in pretty handy. Now we better return to Cloudnoia. There's no telling when Bananabeard will send down another monster.

Hippo Engineer: Thanks again.

Our heroes then went off.

Jeff: No problem.

Reggie: Take care now.
