A Pumpkin and a Bone to Pick (Transcript)

This is the 29th episode of Dragon Squadron: Draconightger.

It was Halloween, and the Draconightgers were very much excited. They were at Princeton's house, helping to set his house up for a Halloween get-together that they were going to be having at his house tonight. Monty was working on getting some pumpkin decorations up on the top of the walls. He was standing on a step ladder to do it.

Harry: I bet Platia could just fly up there and get those put up in no time.

Monty: But then I wouldn't be that much help for this get-together that we're having tonight when the kids are out trick-or-treating.

Harry: I guess that is true.

Harry was putting some cotton-made spider webs on the couches and chairs in Princeton's living room. After he had done that, Amanda walked in and sat down without looking.

Harry: How are the Halloween cookies, uh...cooking?

Amanda: I just got them into the oven. (Looks down at where she's sitting) AAAAH! (Jumps up in fear and lands on the floor shaking)

Monty: Uh, what happened?

Amanda: (Looks back at the couch) Oh yeah. I forgot you were putting those webs down. I thought for a moment I was caught by a giant spider for a moment.

Harry: Hahahaha. Well, the only giant spider we know is Turantrax, and as far as I know, he's not here tonight.

Monty: And he's definitely not invited.

Amanda: Yeah. I don't want to invite any spider as scary as him to any party I'm attending.

Just then, Jase and Kathleen came in. Jase was carrying a bag of candy while Kathleen was carrying a movie.

Jase: Hey, guys. How are things coming along?

Harry: They're coming along great.

Monty: You just missed Amanda getting scared by the spider webs on the couches and chairs.

Kathleen: Spider webs? (Looks to see them) Oh. I see. You thought you were in a real web for a moment, Amanda?

Amanda: Yeah. And it wasn't very pleasant going through the experience.

Monty: So, what is the movie you brought over?

Jase: It is called, "The Bonehead Bros".

Kathleen: This was a movie that just came out. Jase and I saw it in theaters a couple of months ago. I wasn't scared by this movie thankfully.

Amanda: That's good. I've never seen that movie, but I did really want to check it out. I just didn't get a chance to see it when it came out to theaters.

Monty: Same here. In fact, I was going to check it out last month, but we got called on a mission and I missed my chance.

Kathleen: Oh. Quite a bummer, eh?

Monty: It sure was. But that only kept me from seeing the movie for the time being. Tonight, I will finally get to see it.

Princeton then came into the room.

Princeton: (Looks around the decorated living room) Ah. Looking good, guys. This will certainly be a neat Halloween.

Monty: (Gets the last of the pumpkin decorations on the wall, then climbs down) It will be the most festive Halloween that I have had in years.

Princeton: So, what about everybody's costumes?

Harry: I've got mine at home.

Jase: Same here. And Kathleen has hers, too.

Kathleen: Amanda and I are going as something that happened to both of us around the start of the year when we first began fighting Rusairus's monsters.

Princeton: What would that be?

Amanda: Very long hair.

Monty: Rusairus sent out a monster called Hairy Mary, who produced a type of hair gel that made ladies' hair grow so long they wouldn't be able to see what was in front of them.

Harry: Except their hair of course.

Kathleen: We couldn't even cut it.

Amanda: We tried, but no matter what we used to cut, it was impossible to cut it.

Jase: Monty, Harry and I disguised ourselves as barbers and gave Hairy Mary a haircut, which cut off the effects.

Kathleen: But after that happened, we got the idea of making costumes based on that experience. But at least these costumes are better to see though that our actually long hair.

Princeton: That's good. So, what about the rest of you?

Monty: I'm going to go as a hay bale.

Harry: I'm going to go as a potato.

Jase: And I'm going to go as a sorcerer.

Kathleen: What are you going to go as, Princeton?

Princeton: Me? I'm going to go as a knight in shining armor. In honor of my ancestor who defended the Dragon Village centuries ago.

Amanda: Do you think Platia will want to wear a costume? This is her first Halloween outside the Dragon Village.

Monty: I think it might be her first Halloween ever. I don't think Halloween was even invented when the Dragon Village was hidden.

Princeton: You're right, Monty. It hasn't. I had talked with Platia about it and she says that she isn't so sure since she had never worn a costume before.

Kathleen: Maybe since nobody in our city has ever seen a real dragon, she should just go as herself? It would work since people will think she's actually wearing a dragon costume.

Jase: I think a lot of people would catch on that she was a real dragon and not a person in a costume.

Princeton: Yeah. I'm sure she would think that as well. It is pretty much for the best that we don't let anybody see her until the Dragon Village has been restored and Rusairus has been defeated.

Monty: But she is welcome to wear a costume if she wishes to for our get-together tonight.

Amanda: But she needs to get a costume first and she won't be able to go out to get one.

Jase: We could ask her what she would like to wear as a costume and we could get it for her.

Princeton: That could work. I'll go and ask her.

Monty: We'll all head home and get our costumes put on and then meet back here.

Harry: And hopefully we do not get distracted by another monster along the way.

Monty, Harry, Jase, Kathleen, and Amanda then headed back to their houses to get their costumes. Meanwhile, Tinker Tonker had a gigantic pumpkin ready to put into the machine. Rusairus looked very impressed by it.

Rusairus: This pumpkin is perfect for my newest monster. You did a good job at finding this pumpkin, Tinker Tonker.

Tinker Tonker: Why thank you, Mistress.

Turantrax: (Appears as Tinker Tonker and Rusairus are talking with one another, looks at the pumpkin, and decides to eat off of it)

Rusairus: I have to hand it to you. When I sent you to go out and get a pumpkin, I didn't think you would find one this big.

Tinker Tonker: Well, I saw it in the pumpkin field and thought that it would be the best size for our monster.

Rusairus: Alright. Now get it into the machine.

Tinker Tonker: Straight away, Mistress.

Both: (Turns around to see Turantrax had eaten the top part of the pumpkin off) AAAH!

Rusairus: TURANTRAX!

Turantrax: (Stops eating) Huh?

Rusairus: Turantrax, that pumpkin was for our new monster!

Turantrax: You were going to feed this pumpkin to our new monster?

Rusairus: No. It was going to BE the new monster.

Turantrax: Oh. My bad.

Rusairus: Ugh. If we put the pumpkin into the machine now, the monster is going to have the top part of his head bitten off. We better find another pumpkin.

Tinker Tonker: I'll go and find another pumpkin in the pumpkin field. (Walks off)

Turantrax: (Resumes eating)

Rusairus: (Looks) Turantrax, stop eating that pumpkin!

Turantrax: But you said we can't use this pumpkin to make our new monster. So I may as well eat it since we do not have any other use for it.

Rusairus just grabbed the pumpkin and tossed it out the window. Turantrax went over to the window and watched as the partially eaten pumpkin fell until it hit the ground and shattered into pieces.

Turantrax: (sad)

Rusairus: Now go sit in the corner and think about what you did! (Points to the corner)

Turantrax walked slowly and sadly into the corner, then sat down to think.

Rusairus: Trust my own son to ruin our upcoming monster.

Over at the base, Princeton went down to see Platia, who was relaxing on the bed in her room.

Princeton: Hey, Platia.

Platia: Hmmm? What is it, Princeton?

Princeton: I was wondering if you were going to want to join us for our Halloween get-together tonight.

Platia: Well, I suppose since nobody else is going to be attending, I could.

Princeton: Are you going to dress up in a costume?

Platia: Uh, I'm actually not certain.

Princeton: You won't be seen by anybody. Except for us.

Platia: I'm not so much worried about being seen by other people, I just am not sure what sort of costumes I could wear. I've never done something like this before.

Princeton: The possibilities are endless. Kids have been dressing up in various costumes for Halloween for, probably as long as the holiday has been around. Well, maybe not for that long, but certainly a long time.

Platia: Do teenagers and adults also dress up?

Princeton: Sometimes if they feel like it.

Platia: I will need to think of what I could dress up as.

Princeton: Whenever you think of anything. Just let me know and I can get it for you if the stores are still open by then. The others should be here in their costumes real soon.

Platia: Can I watch some TV to get some ideas?

Princeton: If you want to.

Platia: OK. (Grabs the remote, turns the TV on, and begins to channel surf)

Princeton headed back upstairs to wait for the others to arrive back. He sat down on the left couch and looked at the cover of the DVD that Jase and Kathleen brought in. On the cover was a three-headed rat monster. The body was white, but each head was a different color. One was red, one was blue, and one was a very light green.

Princeton: Hmmm. I wonder why each of those monsters' heads is a different color.

He picked up the DVD cover and began to read the description of the movie on the back.

Princeton: "It is Halloween night, and a three-headed rat monster, named Freezor, Hawtheader, and K. Razee, had escaped from the lab and begins to attack the town. Each head has its own abilities. Freezor uses his eye beams to freeze things and uses blue fire that can melt anything. Hawtheader meanwhile has the ability to shoot supernova plasma meteors from his eyes and breathe draconic plasma flames. Lastly, K. Razee can laser blast his enemies to make them go insane and has a long slobbery tongue." (Stops reading) Oh wow.

Over with Turantrax, he was the only one in the room at the moment. With the exception of Vector. Vector could see that Turantrax was not looking too happy.

Vector: You know, it is going to take your mother a while to get her pumpkin monster ready.

Turantrax: Wait, really?

Vector: She is going to keep coming across a problem that keeps her from creating her monster.

Turantrax: It isn't going to be me, will it?

Vector: No. You were just the first obstacle. I think that perhaps you could do something to distract the Draconightgers while your mother gets her monster ready.

Turantrax: How can I do that?

Vector: Well, the Draconightgers are going to be watching a movie tonight. Perhaps you could make this monster come to life.

Turantrax: That is a good idea. I'll see what I can do.

And Turantrax headed on out. Over at Princeton's house, Princeton finished reading the description of the DVD cover.

Princeton: Huh. I certainly cannot wait to see how this movie will go.

Then, Princeton realized something.

Princeton: Oh, I better get my costume ready.

He got up and went upstairs to get his costume ready. As soon as he left, Turantrax appeared in the room. He looked at the DVD cover and picked it up. Then he got out a bottle of blue liquid, opened up the DVD cover, and dropped a couple of drops onto the disk, making it glow blue for a short period of time. He then closed the cover and placed it back on the table.

Turantrax: Enjoy the movie, Draconightgers. For now, you'll be a part of it. Hahahaha.

He then heard the sound of the front door open.

Turantrax: Uh oh. (Vanishes away)

It was the other Draconightgers who had arrived in their costumes. Monty came in as a hay bale, Amanda and Kathleen were in their hairy costumes, Harry came in as a potato, and Jase was a sorcerer.

Monty: Princeton, we're here.

Princeton's Voice: I'll be right down.

Harry: I guess he waited until the last minute to put his costume on.

Princeton's Voice: Actually, I remembered at the last minute. But I'm nearly ready.

Amanda: Alright. I'll get the DVD put into the player. (Goes to the DVD cover and picks it up, then goes to the TV, gets the disk out of the cover and into the player)

Princeton soon arrived in his knight costume.

Princeton: I'm ready.

Jase: Good.

Everybody then sat down as the movie started. As they began to watch it, a blue swirl appeared on the screen.

Monty: Huh, that blue swirl looks pretty new. It must be the new logo the studio had made.

Jase: That's funny. They didn't show this logo when we saw it in theaters.

Kathleen: And also, it looks a lot like we could get sucked right into it.

Then, they felt themselves getting pulled in.

Harry: Hey, I think we actually are getting sucked in.

And indeed they were, as the TV had sucked them all inside. They were going through a blue vortex.

Jase: What sort of madness is this?

Kathleen: This doesn't seem natural.

Harry: This is like some crazy dream. It possibly is.

Amanda: Yeah. I wonder if it was that pizza I had last night?

Soon, they landed in a graveyard. They looked around.

Princeton: It seems as though we had been brought to the cemetery.

Monty: That's what it looks like to me. But this doesn't look like our cemetery.

Jase: You're right, Monty. In fact, this looks like the graveyard in the movie we were going to watch.

Kathleen: You don't suppose it COULD be the graveyard in the movie, could it?

Amanda: It is almost as if we had been sucked into another dimension. Maybe somebody in this world needed our help. I wonder if our battle against Rusairus could be a TV show in this world, as we had learned about back in July.

Monty: We better look around this place to see if anybody here does need our help.

And they began to look around. Back at Rusairus's castle, Turantrax was sitting in the corner where Rusairus had left him when Rusairus and Tinker Tonker came back carrying another big pumpkin. This pumpkin wasn't as big as the one Turantrax had eaten earlier, but it was quite big.

Rusairus: Just stay in that corner until we've gotten this monster created, Turantrax.

Turantrax: Yes, Mother.

Tinekr Tonker: Over to the machine.

They managed to get the pumpkin into the machine, and the pumpkin went into the machine. But when the hatch door on the other side opened up, a big pumpkin mess just splashed out and made a big mess on the wall. Rusairus and Tinker Tonker were quite surprised.

Tinker Tonker: That wasn't what I had in mind.

Rusairus: (Walks up to the mess) Are you a monster that just takes on the form of some pumpkin goop or an actual mess?

The mess just stayed silent.

Tinker Tonker: I guess this machine just doesn't like pumpkins.

Vector: Or, you brought one in that was too big. Try a smaller pumpkin.

Rusairus: A smaller pumpkin?

Turantrax: I guess that means the pumpkin from before wouldn't have worked, as it is bigger than that new one.

Rusairus: You keep quiet.

Turantrax:...

Rusairus and Tinker Tonker then headed on out to get another pumpkin.

Turantrax: (In thoughts) I just hope that the Draconightgers are having worse luck than Mother is having.

Meanwhile, within the graveyard, the Draconightgers were searching around the graveyard for anyone who needed help.

Monty: Hello? Did you call for the Draconightgers?

Harry: We are honored to be summoned to your dimension. But do you need our help in stopping this monster?

Just then, they heard three different laughing sounds.

Jase: I...I heard something.

Kathleen: So did I. And that laugh sounds familiar.

Then, from behind the graveyard wall came out Bonehead Bros. The three-headed monster from the movie the Draconightgers were going to watch.

Freezor: Oh look! A group of cemetery visitors for me to freeze with my breath! (Fires ice beams from his eyes at the Draconightgers)

The Draconightgers moved out of the way of the ice beams.

Monty: Oh my. It is Bonehead Bros.

Princeton: So we really are within their movie!

Hawtheader: They are no match for my draconic plasma flames. (Breathes the draconic plasma flames from his breath at the Draconightgers)

Jase: Whoa! (Moves out of the way, with the others also moving) This is certainly going to be unpleasant.

Kathleen: Do you think we need to transform?

Monty: We might not have any other choice.

All: (Gets out their Draconight Keys and swords) Draconight Change! (Inserts the keys into their swords, the tiny knights danced, and then they are transformed)

Monty: I bet you never thought you'd be meeting with the Draconightgers, huh?

Mr. K. Razee: We do not care who you are. I shall conjure chaotic dark magic at you. (Waves his arm to make the Draconightgers float in the air)

Amanda: Whoa! This is crazy!

Kathleen: True to what he just said!

Freezor: Now for a visit from my snowy friends! (His eyes light up as some floating killer snowmen come in)

Harry: Oh man! Killer snowmen! (Swings his sword at a couple of them, reducing them to just pieces of snow)

Amanda: (Swings her sword at some others coming in, with them also getting reduced to pieces of snow) These snowmen are no match for us.

The other Draconightgers swung their swords at the incoming snowmen until they were all gone.

Freezor: Darn, that was the last of my snowmen!

Mr. K. Razee: You know what, this is stupid. I'm putting them down. (Lowers his hand, making all the Draconightgers land on the ground) I think they need to be stupider. (Fires a beam from his eyes at Monty)

Monty: (Gets hit by the beam) Duh! Where are the cookies, ma?

Amanda: Oh no! What did you do to him?

Mr. K. Razee: Just made him crazy!

Over at Rusairus's castle, Rusairus and Tinker Tonker finally brought in the perfect pumpkin.

Rusairus: Here we go. This pumpkin will do just fine.

Tinker Tonker: Let's hope so.

They put the pumpkin into the machine, and soon the hatch door opened and out stepped a Jack-O-Lantern monster. He had a green body with a long neck with a pumpkin head at the end of it.

Tinker Tonker: At last. We've gotten our pumpkin flailer. Hey, that is a good name. Wouldn't you agree, Mistress?

Rusairus: That I do agree.

Vector: Mistress, I think you should know what the Draconightgers are up to. (Shows the Draconightgers in the graveyard fighting against Bonehead Bros)

Rusairus: The Draconightgers are in a cemetery? On Halloween?

Vector's Voice: It isn't just a cemetery, it is the cemetery from the Bonehead Bros movie. They are stuck within this TV world.

Rusairus: That is perfect. That means that nobody will stand a chance against Pumpkin Flailer. Tinker Tonker, have him be grown giant at once. We'll make the whole city get affected by his powers at once.

Tinker Tonker: Straight away, Mistress. (He and Pumpkin Flailer hurry out)

Back at Princeton's house, Platia just arrived in the living room.

Platia: OK, guys. I didn't put a costume on, but I have decided to join you guys...(Notices that nobody is there) Uh, guys?

Then, she saw the TV, with the Draconightgers in it, fighting against Bonehead Bros.

Platia: Hey, I didn't know the Draconightgers were in a movie.

She went over to the TV and saw them. In the TV world, Platia appeared in the sky looking giant to them.

Princeton: (Looks up) Guys, it's Platia!

Jase: Whoa! How did she get so big?

Platia: Me? Big? How did you guys get into the TV?

Kathleen: Some blue portal appeared as we began to watch the TV.

Platia: It did? This must be the work of Rusairus.

Amanda: So she decided to trap us within this TV world? That is quite low for her.

Then, Platia's communication scale flashed.

Platia: Oh no. It looks like Rusairus sent down another monster.

Jase: Another monster? That's just great. We're stuck in here and Rusairus sent out another monster?

Platia: And it looks like she already made it giant.

Princeton: You'll have to deal with this monster yourself, Platia.

Platia: On my own?

Harry: We'll figure a way out of here. Just hurry. The city needs you.

Platia: Well, alright.

And Platia's image in the sky vanished. Then, both Hawtheader and Mr. K. Razee lashed out their tongues at the Draconightgers.

Amanda: Water splashed! (Uses her sword to create a water wave at Hawtheader's tongue)

Hawtheader: GAAAH! Not water!

Freezor: Ice bears, rise!

Then, some ice bears rose from the ground to surround the Draconightgers. Monty was then able to snap out of his crazy trance.

Monty: Whoa! It is a good thing I came out of that trance! Flame sword! (His sword lights with flames and he swings them at the ice bears)

Mr. K. Razee: Oh great. Then have some pies. (Tosses some pies at the Draconightgers)

Jase: We'll pass on the pies.

The Draconightgers swung their swords at the pies as they kept on coming in, exploding in impact as they were exploding pies. Meanwhile, in the city, a gigantic Pumpkin Flailer was throwing pumpkins all around the city. When they hit anybody, it made them angry, and began attacking the thing that was making them angry.

(One is a male wolf, who begins attacking a poster of a pig movie)

Pumpkin Flailer: Hahaha! It is great that the Draconightgers are not here to stop me!

Platia's Voice: Don't be so sure about that!

Pumpkin Flailer: What? (Turns to see DracoLightzin)

(Cuts to DracoLightzin's cockpit)

Platia: You didn't count on me!

Pumpkin Flailer: Drat! You must have not seen the movie with your fellow Draconightgers. No matter. (Swings his head around to hit DracoLightzin)

DracoLightzin: (Grabs his of his head, then flings him over its head)

Pumpkin Flailer: Whoa! (Hits the ground)

DracoLightzin: (Swings its hands at Pumpkin Flailer)

Pumpkin Flailer: GAAAH! (Gets hit again) AH!

(Cuts to the graveyard)

Mr. K. Razee: (Hands Princeton a jar) Here! Have some peanut butter.

Monty: Huh? (Takes the jar)

Jase: Monty, don't open that!

Monty: What?

Jase: Uh, what I mean is, open it in Mr. K. Razee's face.

Monty: Oh. If you say so. (Holds the jar at Mr. K. Razee's face, then opens the jar as a snake pops out)

Mr. K. Razee: GAAAAH!

Hawtheader: I'll just absorb more radiation to become stronger. (Opens his mouth)

Jase: Amanda, use your water blast at his mouth! I'll help out with my wind.

Amanda: Uh, OK. If you insist.

They used their swords and blasted some wind and water into Hawtheader's mouth.

Hawtheader: GAAAAH! So cold!

Then, Bonehead Bros started glowing up.

Princeton: What is going on with them?

Jase: It is just like what happened in the movie.

Then, they blew up.

Kathleen: We did it. They've been beaten.

Then, the blue swirl appeared again and sucked them up. Soon, they were sucked out of the TV and back into Princeton's living room.

Harry: We're back!

Amanda: That was some movie we were a part of. I'm sure glad it is over.

Over with DracoLightzin, Pumpkin Flailer tried firing pumpkins at him, but DracoLightzin just kept on swinging its fingers at the pumpkins, breaking them into pieces.

(Cuts to DracoLightzin's cockpit)

Platia: DracoLightzin light swipe!

DracoLightzin: (Its fingers light up with light, then swipes its hands at Pumpkin Flailer)

Pumpkin Flailer: (Gets hit by the light swipes) GAH! Happy Halloweeeen! (Falls and explodes)

At that moment, the citizens who were hit by the pumpkins returned back to normal.

(Cuts to DracoLightzin's cockpit)

Platia: Ah good. They're back to normal.

Later, at Princeton's house, the Draconightgers (All demorphed) were all watching the movie together.

Jase: It does feel good to watch the movie and not be a part of it.

Kathleen: You're telling me. That Bonehead Bros was even scarier in person.

Harry: No kidding. It is a good thing you didn't have to be there for it, Platia.

Platia: Yeah. But at least I got rid of that other monster.

Monty: And we appreciate that.

Platia: Rusairus must have wanted to defeat us so badly that she used two different schemes at once.

Princeton: Or maybe one of her henchmen had their own idea.

Amanda: That could be it. Still, it is a shame you don't have a costume on, Platia.

Platia: I think that next year, once Rusairus is long gone, I'll get a costume. It will be easier then since I won't have to be hiding anymore.

Monty: Let's just hope that next Halloween will not be this crazy.

They continued to watch the movie, and even though they had to experience being a part of the movie for a short time, they still enjoyed the movie as it was supposed to be. Platia did enjoy her first Halloween with her friends, getting to watch the movie, and eating candy with them. This was one fun Halloween for all of them.

To be continued...
