Lights, Camera, Disaster (Fangranger Transcript)

This is the 21st episode of Nature Squadron: Fangranger.

Ted, Denny, Becky, Bernie, and Claire were hanging out at the Tree Base. Ted and Denny were playing a game of go fish,

Ted: Got any swordfish?

Denny: Go fish.

Ted: (Picks up a card) Ah! I got it! (Puts down the two swordfish cards) Now, do you have any sharks?

Denny: Nope. Go fish.

Ted: (Picks up and card)

Denny: Do you have any piranhas?

Ted: I just got it! I was going to ask you if you had it on my next turn. (Hands it to Denny) But I never got that far.

Denny: Now, how about any tiger fish?

Ted: Go fish!

The girls were also doing something with cards. But they weren't playing go fish, they were making a card house. They had made the house of cards as tall as them.

Claire: This is quite an impressive house of cards.

Becky: Do you think anybody has ever built a house of cards that was as tall as a real house?

Bernie: I would suspect that if anybody ever tried that, the house would be blown down by the wind.

Becky: But it isn't windy today, Bernie.

Bernie: I know that. But I would suspect that if somebody had ever attempted to make a big house of cards straight after the wind had stopped for a good long while, they wouldn't even be halfway through by the time the next wind started.

Claire: What if somebody found really big cards?

Becky: Who ever heard of really big cards?

Claire: They could be made. I think I've seen it be done before.

Bernie: Where?

Claire: I don't remember. It was such a long time ago.

Bernie: Let's see if we can make this house of cards even bigger.

Becky: How far do you think we can get, Bernie?

Bernie: We could see if we could stack as high as the ceiling goes.

Claire: But nobody can reach cards all the way up to the ceiling. Except for you, Bernie.

Bernie: Then leave it to me to stack cards that tall.

Becky & Claire:

But just as they were about to put on their next couple of cards, Lucky teleported in on top of the card house, causing it to fall down.

Girls: AWWW!

Lucky: What's the matter? (Looks down at the floor to see all of the cards) Oh, dear! I'm sorry about that, girls!

Bernie: That's OK, Lucky.

Lucky: By the way, guys, I just got a part in a new movie that somebody is making.

Ted: A movie?

Denny: What is it called?

Lucky: It's called "Bye Bye American Jones". And I got the part as American Jones.

Bernie: Bye Bye American Jones? That sounds like a good movie.

Claire: Are they still hiring actors?

Lucky: As a matter of fact, they are. They need five more actors for this movie. Two more men, and three more women. This is why I've come to ask all of you if you'd like to join me in this movie.

Denny: I'm up for it!

Becky: Same here!

Bernie: I'm in!

Claire: I've always wanted to be part of a movie!

Everybody looked over to Ted.

Lucky: What do you think, Ted? Want to audition?

Ted: Well...I do like watching movies, but I never thought about being part of one.

Lucky: How hard can it be, Ted?

Ted: I've heard it is very heard.

Lucky: Come on. Everybody else has agreed to be a part of it. It wouldn't be fun if only four out of my five best friends were there with me.

Ted: Well...alright.

Later that day, Lucky and the others went to see the director of the movie. His name was Steven Squiggy (A slug)

Lucky: Mr. Squiggy, remember those friends I told you about?

Steven Squiggy: Uh huh.

Lucky: Well, here they all are. These are Ted, Denny, Becky, Bernie, and Claire.

Steven Squiggy: (Looks over all of the Fangrangers) Hmmm. Alright. I think they will be perfect for the movie. I will need to see them individually.

So Steven Squiggy interviewed Bernie first.

Steven Squiggy: Miss Owlson, I think that you can play Beatrice. The fair maiden that American Jones is working to save.

Bernie: The fair maiden?

Steven Squiggy: Yes. You are going to be captured by the film's villain. The vicious Filmaster.

Bernie: Filmaster?

Steven Squiggy: Yes. He is this crazy director who captures people and forces them to be in his movies just so he can get rid of them.

Bernie: And do you already have somebody to play him?

Steven Squiggy: Yes I do. But he isn't here right now. He's busy with other things. But once we get to filming the scene where Beatrice gets kidnapped, you will be seeing him face to face.

Bernie: Huh. Sounds good to me.

Next, he interviewed Claire.

Steven Squiggy: Miss Clawsky, I think that the most fitting role for you is to play Claramina.

Claire: And who is she?

Steven Squiggy: She is this beautiful Egyptian dancer who has the secret to saving Beatrice.

Claire: An Egyptian dancer? I think that is something I can do.

Steven Squiggy: Fantastic.

Next, he interviewed both Denny and Becky.

Steven Squiggy: Mr. Chimpington, Miss Cottontail, I think the best role to put you in is to play the parents of American Jones.

Denny: Oh. So this will be just like playing house.

Becky: Yeah. So what exactly do they do to help out Luck-I mean American Jones?

Steven Squiggy: They will begin by giving AJ a map of where Beatrice might be found, then they are captured by the evil Filmaster.

Becky: Huh. Alright.

Denny: And who is going to play Filmaster?

Steven Squiggy: By a really good actor. I can't give you his name right now and he's too busy to meet up with anybody else participating in this movie right now.

Becky: So when will he be?

Steven Squiggy: When we get to the scene of him holding Beatrice captive.

Denny: Alright. Although it seems off to be meeting with a fellow actor during the filming of the movie.

Steven Squiggy: Trust me! That is what he said to me when I told him.

And then, he interviewed Ted.

Steven Squiggy: Alright, Mr. Brownstone. I think that your place in this movie is to play American Jones' trusted sidekick, British Fred.

Ted: British Fred?

Steven Squiggy: He is a man from Great Britain who meets with American Jones on a trip to the United States and tells him that his sister, Beatrice had been kidnapped.

Ted: Kidnapped, huh? (Looks at Steven Squiggy with suspicion) And who kidnaps her?

Steven Squiggy: Filmaster.

Ted: And who is playing Filmaster?

Steven Squiggy: He can't show up right now, but once we film the scene where he's gotten all of his captives, you'll meet with him.

Ted: He can't make it right now. Huh? Is there anything he is doing that is keeping him from meeting the rest of the cast right now?

Steven Squiggy: He told me it was none of our business. I do trust he has a perfectly good reason.

Ted: What about meeting him right before we start filming?

Steven Squiggy: He won't be on the set in that amount of time!

Ted soon left the interview room where the others were waiting.

Denny: So Ted, what part did you get?

Ted: I'm going to be playing a man named British Fred. He is American Jones' sidekick.

Lucky: Oh. So we'll be on set together a lot, huh?

Ted: That's what it sounds like. Although, I can't help but wonder...who is the actor playing Filmaster?

Becky: We are all wondering that.

Bernie: But I guess we'll need to wait until filming actually starts tomorrow.

Ted: I suppose so.

The next day, the set was getting set up for the first day of filming.

Steven Squiggy: I wonder when they will arrive? The sooner they arrive, the better.

Just then, Verminator appeared in front of Steven Squiggy.

Verminator: Is everything going as planned?

Steven Squiggy: So far it is. I've gotten all of the Fangrangers to be part of this movie.

Verminator: All six of them?

Steven Squiggy: Yes. All six of them.

Verminator: And they don't know who is playing Filmaster yet?

Steven Squiggy: Nope.

Verminator: That is splendid news.

Steven Squiggy: But they should be here at any moment. So you should hurry away before they get here.

Verminator: Will do.

Then, some Vermdemics appeared.

Verminator: You know what to do, right, Vermdemics?

Vermdemic 1: Yes, boss. (Turns into a rat crew member)

The rest of the Vermdemics all transformed into crew members, too.

Verminator: Well, I am off. (Disappears)

The Fangrangers then arrived.

Steven Squiggy: Ah, you are all here. My six lead actors.

Lucky: We're all ready for shooting, Mr. Squiggy.

Steven Squiggy: Excellent. Just head to your respective dressing rooms and get into your costumes for filming.

Denny: Will do.

And they each headed off to their dressing rooms. Ted saw the rat crew members and looked suspicious again.

Ted: Um, is there any reason why all the crew members are rats?

Steven Squiggy: They were the only crew members I could find. Any crew members who weren't rats weren't available.

Ted: If you say so.

And Ted headed to his dressing room. Soon, all the Fangrangers were in their costumes.

Lucky: (Comes out, wearing a uniform looking much like Indiana Jones' clothes) American Jones, at your service!

Denny: (Comes out, wearing a dark blue vest and wearing a fake mustache. He next speaks with a deep voice) Where is my little man?

Becky: (Comes out, wearing a white dress with a yellow apron and speaks with a mother-like voice) I think he is over there, dear. (Points his hand to Lucky)

Lucky: Hi Mom, Hi Dad. Excited about this movie?

Denny: (Deep voice) Indeed we are, son.

Bernie: (Comes out, wearing a dark red dress and a red artists' hat, then speaks in a British accent) So this be the United States of America, eh?

Claire: (Comes out, wearing a golden crop top, skirt, and crown like Cleopatra's) Is there somebody wanting my help with locating the evil Filmaster?

Ted: (Comes out, dressed in some clothes looking similar to Sherlock Holmes, but is wearing a cap instead of the same hat that Holmes wore) I believe I have a sister who needs saving.

Steven Squiggy: Looking good, guys. Now for the first scene. This first scene will have American Jones exploring an ancient temple. So, Mr. Fangsworth, we'll need you on set.

Lucky: Yes, sir, Mr. Squiggy.

And Lucky went with Steven Squiggy to the set where they had an Egyptian pyramid. It had a spiral path all around it. The crew members placed a big boulder at the top of the pyramid.

Steven Squiggy: Alright, Mr. Fangsworth. The first scene will have American Jones going to the top of this pyramid on his way to grab the ancient scroll. When he grabs it, it will trigger this boulder to roll down the hill. You will need to run as fast as you can to get away from it.

Lucky: Will do, Mr. Squiggy.

The others were watching as filming began.

Ted: Is that Mr. Squiggy crazy? That boulder could totally roll over Lucky.

Denny: I'm pretty certain that boulder is actually made of Styrofoam. They wouldn't actually use things that are very dangerous on set during the filming of a movie. They would make the film props as realistic as possible to give the idea that they are very dangerous. Just to create the illusion.

Becky: Denny is right, Ted. I'm sure Lucky will be just fine.

Steven Squiggy: Aaaaaand action.

They began filming as Lucky climbed to the top of the pyramid.

Lucky: I am...so close...to getting...the scroll... (He manages to grab it) Got it! (Takes it from its spot)

And then on cue, the pyramid began to shake as the boulder fell from its spot.

Lucky: Oh dear. I've set off a booby trap!

Lucky began to run down the pyramid as the boulder rolled down after him. The others watched as the boulder rolled down.

Bernie: This is such a suspenseful sight to see.

Ted: Denny, I know that in actual movies, they'd use Styrofoam boulders, but what if this is not a real movie?

Denny: What makes you say that, Ted?

Ted: Isn't it a bit coincidental that the last five open roles requested two men and three women?

Claire: Why not? The parts were the main characters' parents, an Egyptian dancer, a sidekick, and a love interest.

Ted: Still, something is not right about this. If I didn't know better, that could actually be a real boulder.

Bernie: Ted, they did a good job at making it look like a real boulder.

But Ted was quite convinced that it was a real boulder. They watched as Lucky kept running from the boulder. He then made it all the way to the bottom as the boulder went past him.

Lucky: Phew. That was a close one.

Steven Squiggy: Cut! That went well, Mr. Fangsworth. Now onto the next scene where British Fred and Beatrice arrive on board a ship.

Bernie: Looks like we're up for the next scene, Ted.

Ted: I'll be keeping a close eye on the set. Denny, Becky, Claire, I'd like for you to look over that boulder, and I want you to tell us if that was a real boulder rolling down.

Denny: Will do, Ted.

Ted and Bernie then went to the next set where there was a ship. Steven Squiggy was looking over the ship as some of the crew members were drilling small holes at the bottom of it before it was lowered into the water.

Steven Squiggy: Remember, we do not want the ship to sink too quickly! If it goes down too fast, the Fangrangers will think we really are trying to sink them.

Crew Worker: But aren't we doing just that, Mr. Squiggy?

Steven Squiggy: Yes, but we don't want to make it too obvious.

They managed to drill several tiny holes into the bottom of the ship. Steven Squiggy looked over the holes. He then squinted his eyes to make sure they'd be very hard to see.

Steven Squiggy: Now, lower it into the water!

One of the crew members, who was operating the crane holding the ship, lowered the ship into the water. Steven Squiggy then looked to see if the holes were hard to see in the water, and sure enough, they were. Almost like they were not there.

Steven Squiggy: Perfect! Now, Mr. Brownstone, Miss Owlson, we need you on the set.

Bernie: This will be fun! Going on a ship! I know it's just part of the movie, but it'll still be exciting!

Ted: I dunno, Bernie. It doesn't look that safe.

Bernie: It looks plenty safe to me.

They walked up to the ship. Bernie just ran on it pretty quickly and excitedly. Ted just looked at the plank leading onto the ship cautiously.

Steven Squiggy: Is something the matter, Mr. Brownstone?

Ted: Oh. Its nothing.

Bernie: Ted is a bit suspicious that this could be a trap set up by those monsters the Fangrangers fight sometimes.

Steven Squiggy: Oh really?

Ted: No! That is ridiculous! I just don't trust this ship. That is all.

Steven Squiggy: Well I am sure that if those monsters are around here, the Fangrangers will come in to save us!

Ted then walked on board the ship to join Bernie.

Steven Squiggy: (To himself) Or destroy you! (Outloud) And action!

The ship began to move in the water, but the ship was slowly beginning to sink into the water. Meanwhile, Denny, Becky, and Claire went to look over the boulder that rolled after Lucky. Denny gently pushed on the boulder with his hands, but the pressure of his hands pressed into the rock.

Denny: Hey! (Pushes a little more into the rock) That actually is a rubber ball.

Becky and Claire both pushed their hands into the rock.

Becky: Huh. So I guess Ted was worried over nothing.

Claire: I wonder how he is going to react when we tell him?

They went over to the set where Ted and Bernie were. The ship was a bit lower in the water, but not by very water.

Steven Squiggy: (Watching over the ship) Why isn't it going down very far?

Crew Member: (Shrug)

The ship then sailed into its port, as Ted and Bernie departed.

Bernie: (In a British accent) So this is the United States of America? It is even more beautiful than I ever dreamed it would be. Wouldn't you agree, Freddy?

Ted: (In a British accent) It sure does, Beatrice!

Bernie: (In a British accent) Let's go over to the tea shop. I'm thirsty.

They went over to the tea shop. Denny, Becky, and Claire arrived at the set and saw that filming for Ted and Bernie's scene was still going on.

Denny: Looks like we'll have to wait for this scene to conclude filming before we can tell Ted about what we found out.

Just then, a bunch of ninjas that were dressed as pirates came in and grabbed Bernie.

Bernie: (In a British accent) Hey! What is the meaning of this?

Ted: (In a British accent) You get your dirty hands off of my sister, you...ninja pirates! (A crate is then dropped onto his head, knocking him out)

Denny, Becky, and Claire gasped at what they saw.

Claire: Is that part of the script?

Becky: I dunno.

Bernie: (In a British accent) Freddy! (Is carried away off the stage)

Steven Squiggy: And cut!

Ted got up, looking just fine.

Ted: Huh, I hardly felt anything when that crate landed on my head.

Steven Squiggy: The next scene will have British Fred meeting up with American Jones for the first time.

Denny: Mr. Squiggy, we would like to talk with Ted about something first.

Steven Squiggy: Fair enough. We just got to get things set up for the next scene.

And Steven Squiggy went with the crew members to the next set.

Ted: So, did you find anything out about the boulder?

Becky: Well, you are not going to believe this, Ted...

Claire: But that boulder actually was just a giant bouncy ball made to look like a boulder.

Ted: Is this a joke?

Claire: It's not.

Ted: That doesn't make sense, though. When Bernie and I were on the ship, I thought the ship was beginning to sink a little bit. Wouldn't you agree, Bernie?

But Bernie was not on the set anymore.

Ted: Bernie?

Becky: She was carried away by those ninja pirates, wasn't she?

Ted: Yes. But why hasn't she come back?

Then, Steven Squiggy came back in.

Steven Squiggy: Mr. Brownstone, we'll need you on the set. Mr. Chimpington, Miss Cottontail, you're needed to.

Claire: And what about me, sir?

Steven Squiggy: We'll call you for the next scene, Miss Clawsky.

Ted: (Whispers to Claire) Claire, go look for Bernie. Something tells me that she is being held captive somewhere.

Claire: (Whispers) Got it, Ted.

After Ted, Denny, and Becky went to the next scene, Claire did some investigating. Over at the next set, Lucky was waiting for them.

Steven Squiggy: (To a crew member) I need to check up on Miss Owlson. You take over for this scene.

Crew Member: Will do, Mr. Squiggy.

And Steven Squiggy left. Ted was now even more suspicious.

Ted: Where is he going?

Crew Member: Never mind him! Just get ready for the next scene.

Ted: Oh. Right.

Ted went over to a bed and laid down on it and acted unconsciously. Becky, Denny, and Lucky then took their positions for the scene.

Crew Member: And action!

Meanwhile, Claire was still searching around when she saw Steven Squiggy walking by. She hid from him behind some barrels that were on the set.

Claire: Where is he going?

She followed closely behind him. They soon made their way to the room where Bernie was being held, all tied up.

Claire: (To herself) What is Bernie doing all tied up?

Bernie then saw Steven Squiggy.

Bernie: Mr. Squiggy, how much longer must I stay tied up like this?

Steven Squiggy: For as long as it takes to destroy the Fangrangers, Fang Pink!

Bernie: (Gasps) You are wanting to destroy the Fangrangers? So Ted was right after all!

Steven Squiggy: And remember when I saw that the actor who was playing Filmaster was too busy to show up! Well...I was lying because...(Then transforms into a film-like monster) He's been here to whole time!

Bernie: Oh no!

Claire: So that was what this whole movie was about. (Sees herself in a mirror) Such a shame because I look so good! (Looks over to Bernie) But I have a friend to save! Nature Fang Change! (Transforms into Fang Gold)

Claire then charged for Filmaster and kicked him!

Filmaster: AAAH! (Falls to the ground) What? No!

Claire then went over to Bernie and untied her!

Claire: Are you alright, Bernie?

Bernie: I'm just fine! Now to pay this film faker out! Nature Fang Change! (Transforms into Fang Pink) Owl Hooter! (Uses her Owl Hooter at Filmaster to push him through the walls)

During the filming of the scene with the other Fangrangers, Filmaster then burst through the wall, surprising even Ted.

Crew Member: Cut! What is the meaning of this?

Ted: So one of Verminator's monsters was a part of this after all!

Then, Bernie and Claire came in.

Bernie: That's Steven Squiggy in his true form! Filmaster!

Claire: And do you care to explain to us why you used a rubber ball to try and crush Lucky?

Filmaster: The ball you guys found to be a giant rubber ball was a decoy! I knew that you'd investigate it so after the filming of the boulder scene, I had my crew switch out the actual boulder we used for a rubber fake!

Lucky: You tried crushing me with a real boulder?! Hahahahaha!

Denny: What's so funny, Lucky?

Lucky: Why do you think the ship didn't sink as quickly?

(Cuts to a flashback of the scene where the film crew was drilling holes in the bottom of the ship)

Lucky VO: I was actually there for that scene.

(The scene shows that one of the crew members jumped into the water, swam under the ship, and patched up 90 of the holes on the bottom of the ship. Then emerges from the water and removes his face to reveal it as a mask and was actually Lucky in disguise. Then the flashback ends)

Lucky: Ted ordered me to disguise myself as one of the crew members after that first scene to investigate what Mr. Squiggy was actually up to.

Filmaster then got up.

Filmaster: Curse you! That settles it! I'm going to make a new movie! This movie is called, Attack Of The Giant Film Crusher! Fangulee!

Fangulee then appeared.

Fangulee: Way ahead of you, Filmaster! (Sends his bats to enlarge Filmaster)

Filmaster: (Enlarges) In this first scene, I crush the Fangrangers!

Ted: I think it is time for us to do some add-libbing to this movie.

Ted, Denny, Lucky, and Becky: Nature Fang Change! (Transforms into Fang Red, Blue, Green, and White)

All: Nature Fang Beasts! (The Nature Fang Beasts arrived and the Fangrangers got on board)

Ted: Now to form NatureFangOh!

Claire: Convert into Tiger Fang Fighter!

NatureFangOh was then formed and Nature Fang Tiger converted into Tiger Fang Fighter.

The main five Nature Fang Beasts combined into NatureFangOh.

Filmaster: Time to wrap this film up! (Uses film to wrap up both NatureFangOh and Tiger Fang Fighter)

(Cuts to NatureFangOh's cockpit)

Denny: We're all wrapped up! Literally!

Becky: Not for long! It's time to give this movie and short cut!

NatureFangOh: (Uses the rabbit scissors to cut the film)

Filmaster: No! That was my best film, too!

Becky: Then I guess you shouldn't have used it as a weapon!

NatureFangOh then used the scissor hands to cut the film on Filmaster's back.

Filmaster: No! All my best films!

Claire: It's too bad. But at least my scene was never filmed, so it isn't that big of a loss.

Tiger Fang Fighter: (Uses the tiger sword to attack Filmaster)

Filmaster: AAAH! That is one mad kitty!

Tiger Fang Fighter: (Knocks Filmaster over to NatureFangOh)

Claire: Now, guys!

Ted: Right! Nature Fang Sword!

NatureFangOh: (The sword appears in NatureFangOh's hand)

All: Nature Fang Final Strike!

NatureFangOh: (Slashes the sword at Filmaster)

Filmaster: (Gets hit) AAAH! That's a rap! (Falls and explodes)

The crew members and ninja pirates then ran outside and saw what happened.

Ninja Pirate: Our filming career is ruined! We must retreat!

Both parties then vanished. They then appeared in Verminator's lair.

Verminator: So you decided to cancel this movie, huh?

The crew members and the ninja pirates all changed into Vermdemics, as that is what they all were the whole time, except for that one who was actually Lucky, but he wasn't there with them in Verminator's lair.

Vermdemic: We are sorry that the best movie you've ever produced has been ruined, boss.

Verminator: It would have been the only movie I would have ever produced!

Later, the Fangrangers had all changed out of their costumes. All that is except for Claire.

Lucky: I'm sorry about all the trouble that this movie has caused, guys.

Denny: That's alright, Lucky.

Becky: Although I can't believe that Mr. Squiggy actually swapped out those boulders to trick us.

Lucky: But I in turn had tricked him.

Bernie: (Sees that Claire was still in her Egyptian outfit) Claire, why haven't you changed out of your costume?

Claire: Well, I didn't even have my scene filmed. The rest of you guys all got your scenes filmed, but I didn't have even one scene with me filmed. So I think I may wear it for a while until I get over it.

Ted: Well, Claire, I suppose this would make a great costume for Halloween.

Claire: Hmmm. I suppose you are right, Ted. But I think I'll wear it for the rest of the evening anyway.

Later at Claire's house, Claire arrived home. When her dad saw her, he was confused by why his daughter was dressed as an Egyptian dancer.

Mr. Clawsky: Claire, why are you dressed like that?

Claire: Oh. I decided to do some early Halloween shopping and I suppose I just couldn't wait to try it on.

Mr. Clawsky: Oh. That is understandable.

Claire then went into her room and looked at herself in the mirror.

Claire: (Shakes her belly a bit in front of the mirror)

To be continued...
