Home for the Holiday (Transcript)

This is the 39th episode of Sneaky Squadron: Stealthranger.

It was Christmas Eve, and the Kitinger family were on the road. They were on their way to the Greytail family residence for Christmas.

Tracy: It'll be great to see Mom and Dad again after so long.

Stan: I feel bad that you've had to be away from them for so long because of these Yokai attacks.

Tracy: Don't feel so bad. Mom and Dad had been training me to do this my whole life. They knew how important it was for me to be helping you guys for so long. Besides, it had given them some time to decorate the place for Christmas.

Marvin: Well, hopefully, we'll be finished with fighting these Yokai pretty soon. Then you can go back and spend time with your parents.

Stan: It'll be a bit sad to see you go, Tracy.

Lucy: You don't have to be, Stan.

Stan: Wait, what?

Lucy: Tracy's parents said that when the battle is finally over, we could have our camper be next door to their house.

Stan: Wait, really?

Lucy: Yes, really!

Stan: That is great news!

Judd: Loverboy seems happy!

Marvin: He sure is!

Stan: Stop it, guys!

Tracy: (cuddles him with love)

Stan: (hugs her back)

Marvin and Judd then went over to the window to see all the snow that was on the ground.

Marvin: The snow looks amazing at this time of year.

Judd: It is great when it actually happens. For the past few years, it hardly has ever snowed before Christmas.

Marvin: Yeah. Usually these days, the first snowfall doesn't happy until January.

Tracy: I've noticed that as well. And sometimes, if it does snow before Christmas, it melts pretty quickly.

Stan: I agree. It just seems as though nature has forgotten its schedule.

Tracy: I wouldn't be surprised if it began snowing during the summertime and it was hot during the winter. It would be like living in Australia during Christmas.

Judd: How come?

Tracy: In Australia, they have Christmas during the summer.

Stan: Why is that?

Tracy: In some parts of the world it is winter while in other parts of the world, it is summer.

Marvin: So if they have Christmas during the summer in Australia, do they also celebrate Independence Day in winter?

Tracy: They don't celebrate Independence Day in Australia at all.

Stan: Why not?

Tracy: Independence Day is an American holiday and Australia is another country.

Judd: That's right.

Marvin: Well, I can think of another holiday they would celebrate during a different season from us.

Judd: What is that?

Marvin: If Australia celebrates Christmas in summer, that means they celebrate Halloween in spring, right?

Tracy: That sounds about right.

Stan: And Easter in fall.

Tracy: I'd say so.

Then, the twins began to notice it snowing a little bit.

Marvin: Oh boy! More snow!

Lewis: More snow? I sure hope it doesn't slow us down.

Lucy: Should I turn on the radio to see how the weather will be?

Lewis: Please do, Lucy.

Lucy turned on the radio to the news station.

Radio: Today we should expect little flakes of snow for the next four hours. But do not worry. If you are traveling, the snow should not slow you down.

Lewis: What a relief. I was certain I'd have to pull over and we wouldn't be able to continue until tomorrow morning.

The camper continued down the road. Meanwhile, over at the Yokai Mansion, Yokaimou couldn't stand all the holiday spirit going around.

Yokaimou: ERGH! I can't stand all this happiness! It makes me feel sick!

Slugbora: It does?

Yokaimou: Yeah! I had heard this is the happiest time of the year, but it is the yuckiest time of the year for me! When I see people this happy, I don't feel like doing anything except going into my bed and spending one entire day there.

Madame Misfortune: Feeling sick enough to stay in bed for one whole day? That is not a sickness I'd like to have.

Luanna Bunny: Maybe if we stop this Christmas holiday from coming, Master Yokaimou won't have to stay in bed for one whole day.

Slugbora: You aren't planning on dressing like Santa Claus and stealing Christmas decorations and presents from people's houses as some fuzzy green guy did, are you? That won't work!

Yokaimou: No. I wasn't going to have that happen. Does anyone have a plan on stopping this Christmas joy?

S.A.R.A.: Maybe you could send a Yokai that could bury everyone in snow.

Madame Misfortune: You mean, make it snow even more than it is supposed to?

S.A.R.A.: That is what I am saying. And I have just the Yokai for the job. I call him Blizzantern.

Then, a light blue lantern-like Yokai called Blizzantern arrived.

Luanna Bunny: Haven't we already sent down a Yokai that is lantern-like?

Madame Misfortune: That we have.

Blizzantern: Are you talking about my cousin, Ghostlight? His powers were novice! I can do a better job than he ever could.

Luanna Bunny: How much better can you be?

Blizzantern: Well, first of all, I don't send in ghosts to wish their grandchildren a Happy Birthday!

S.A.R.A.: Well, that wasn't completely his fault. He was supposed to bring in hostile ghosts, but one of them turned out to be a caring grandfather.

Blizzantern: Well, nevertheless, that will not happy with me. You'll see.

Yokaimou: Then get out there and create a snowstorm that is so strong, not even the Stealthrangers can stop you.

Blizzantern: Yes, sir!

And Blizzantern headed on out.

Yokaimou: For once, I won't need to spend an entire Christmas sick in bed. Well, since getting out of that seal of course.

Later, Blizzantern was at the top of a very tall hill. The camper was driving at the bottom of the hill. Blizzantern could see it and this made him happy.

Blizzantern: Ah, the Stealthrangers' camper. Yokaimou will be very pleased with me.

He then began creating his storm clouds and they began dropping snowflakes.

Blizzantern: Fall, my pretties! Fall! Fall!

Down with the camper, Lewis began having a bit of trouble driving.

Lewis: Oh dear! The weather is starting to get worse!

Stan: Worse? But the news reporter said that it wasn't supposed to snow very much!

Lewis: I'm sorry, guys. But I'm pulling over to this rest stop.

Lewis attempted to pull over to a nearby rest stop, but he wasn't able to turn in time and drove past the rest stop.

Lewis: Darn I missed.

Tracy: I guess we'll be continuing the drive then, am I right, Mr. Kitinger?

Lewis: Only until we find the next rest stop! If we are on the road for too long, we could be in a wreck.

Tracy: Aww.

Lucy: Don't feel so bad about it, Tracy. I'm sure your mom and dad will understand if we're a little late.

Tracy: But I've never had a Christmas away from my family before.

Stan: Well, you have us, right?

Tracy: Yeah. But you are my friends.

Judd: We're kind of like a family.

Marvin: You've been with us for the past year fighting against the Yokai.

Tracy: It isn't the same, though. I always spent Christmas with Mom and Dad. I don't want to miss out on it.

Lewis: Well would you rather end up in a snowbank or stop somewhere and stay alive?

Before Tracy could answer, Gamma 4 took a look at the snowflakes and saw something unnatural about them.

Gamma 4: Guys, I don't think we'll be able to even more ever again if we don't do something about this storm.

Marvin: Gamma, this is a plain snowstorm. It isn't like it is going to keep snowing and snowing until we're all buried in the snow.

Gamma 4: It is as if a Yokai is the one responsible for this snow!

Lewis then managed to park the camper on the side of the road!

Lewis: A Yokai? I should have known!

Lucy: Do you think it could be...?

Lewis: I don't think! I know! It is Blizzantern!

Stan: Didn't we already fight a lantern monster?

Tracy: I remember him! That lantern monster who brought my grandpa back into the land of the living for a time.

Lewis: I am afraid this is a completely different Yokai, Tracy.

Lucy: This one of which has no ability on bringing in any spirits.

Lewis: Instead, he can bring in a very powerful snowstorm. And if we allow this storm to get through, we may not be able to reach the Greytail Family residence in time. Or even at all.

Tracy: You mean we won't be able to get back to see my family in time for Christmas?

Lucy: I don't think anyone will be able to get anywhere in a storm this bad. It is best we climb to the top of this mountain to find this Yokai.

Lewis: Then we better hurry before this snowstorm gets too unbearable!

All: Super Change Stealth Changer! (Transforms into their ranger suits)

Gamma 4: Rangers, you better take these with you! (Hands them some flashlights)

Judd: Flashlights?

Gamma 4: Not just flashlights, they are special flashlights that can be used to see through the snow. I designed them from some old plans that were left by Master Earl long ago.

Lewis: Wow. Even I didn't know about them. Flashlights on, guys.

They turned on their flashlights and began walking through the snow. Meanwhile, over at the Greytail family residence, Katie had noticed that the snow was coming down fast.

Katie: The weather doesn't look too good out there.

Oliver: I am sure the weather will get better, dear.

Katie: That isn't what the news reporter said. He said that with how bad the weather is right now, there is no telling when the weather will let up. The Stealthrangers might not get back here in time. I was looking forward to seeing Tracy again and hearing all about how she has been doing since joining the Stealthrangers.

Oliver: I will bet that if this weather is unpredictable, it could be the work of a Yokai.

Katie: What sort of Yokai would cause the weather to become so bad?

Oliver: I don't know, but the Kitingers know more about the Yokai than I do. But I do trust that Tracy has this under control.

Katie: I hope you are right. I am just remembering that one year that I had gotten Tracy that old VHS about these forest animals having a competition in the forest with that crow mother who was determined to help her daughter win.

Oliver: I remember Tracy just kept on watching it again and again. Whenever she finished watching it, she'd rewind it and watch it again.

Katie: I never knew it was that good though. I don't blame her though. I did quite like it when I first saw it, too. Although I wasn't as young as Tracy was when I saw it.

Oliver: I wonder if she'll want to check it out again.

Katie: Who knows. If she is able to make it here, we could ask her.

Over with the Stealthrangers, they had made it halfway up the mountain.

Stan: Are we there yet, Dad? It feels like we've been walking for days!

Lucy: We've only been walking up here for a little over an hour, Stan.

Marvin: I am impressed that we were able to get halfway up here already considering how tall the mountain is.

Tracy: I am sure I could reach the top of this mountain in no time.

Lewis: That you may be able to do, Tracy. But you wouldn't beat the Yokai all on your own in no time.

Tracy: I know. If only you all had my speed.

Judd: Well, we don't.

Stan: No need to rub it in, Judd!

Judd: Sorry, Stan.

A Ladybug Cam was filming the Stealthrangers' progress in traveling up the mountain and hurried back to the Yokai Mansion.

Madame Misfortune: What do you have there, Ladybug Cam.

The Ladybug Cam installed the footage into the TV to show the Stealthrangers' progress going up the mountain.

Ladybug Cam: They've made it halfway up the mountain in the last hour. If they keep this up, they'll reach Blizzantern in no time.

Yokaimou: (Sneezes) Oh dear! I am starting to get a cold from that! You better hurry and give Bizzantern some back-up or you'll be put on soup duties for weeks! (Sniffles) Or for one day anyway.

Luanna Bunny: I'll send the Bunny Ninjas up there straight away, boss!

A while later, the Stealthrangers had made their way to an area with a few trees and a frozen waterfall.

Tracy: Look at that! A frozen waterfall! I don't think I've seen something like that before. At least not in person.

Marvin: Have you seen frozen waterfalls on television?

Tracy: And in video games. Well in one anyway.

Judd: Do you think we could come here one day next year in spring and do a dive down the waterfall?

Lucy looked at the waterfall, and it appeared to go all the way to the bottom of the mountain.

Lucy: I don't think you want to dive down this waterfall, Judd. I don't think you'd be coming home in one piece.

Marvin: Or come home at all.

Judd: Really?

Judd then looked at the bottom of the waterfall and saw they were right.

Judd: Oh my. You are right. I hadn't realized that.

Tracy: I do know of a better waterfall we could go to where you could do that, Judd.

Judd: Really?

Tracy: Sure. Maybe next year during summer we could go there.

Stan: That sounds like fun.

???: Did somebody say fun? We'll show you some fun?

Stan: Who said that?

They turned around to see the Bunny Ninjas emerge from the snow.

Bunny Ninja 1: Surprise!

Lucy: Not these guys again! That's all we need!

Bunny Ninja 2: You say you want to go down the waterfall?

Judd: I hadn't realized how fall down it went!

Bunny Ninja 2: Too late! (Charges for Judd, knocking him towards the edge)

Judd: Whoa! Oh! (Tries to keep his balance as the others watch) AAH! (Falls off)

Others: Judd!

Lewis: (Rushes over to the edge to see Judd grabbing hold of the edge with his hand) Oh good!

Judd: Dad, help me up!

Lewis: (Holds out his hand to Judd) Grab on!

Judd: (Grabs Lewis's hand)

Lewis: (Pulls him up) There you go, son!

Judd: Phew. Thanks, Dad. I was sure I was done for!

Stan began to fight against the Ninja Bunnies. Marvin, Lucy, and Tracy joined in as well.

Stan: It is kind of hard to fight these guys while holding a flashlight. (Whacks one of the bunny ninjas with his flashlight) Well, that was quite funny.

Then, they got a call from Gamma.

Lewis: What's up, Gamma?

Gamma 4's Voice: I forgot to mention that if you need to battle during your journey, you can attach your flashlights to the top of your helmets.

Lucy: That's a smart idea, Gamma. (Puts her flashlight on top of her helmet and it stuck on) Hey, it works! (Proceeds to fight the bunny ninjas)

Lewis: Let's try this! (Puts his flashlight on to of his helmet and it sticks on)

The other Stealthrangers put their flashlights on top of their helmets and they stuck on.

Stan: Alright! Now that should make this fight much easier!

Then, Stan knocked a bunny ninja over to a frozen stream and watched him slide down.

Stan: Hehehehe. That is funny.

Tracy saw this and thought it was funny.

Tracy: I think you not-so-funny bunnies should all take an icy slide. (Knocks another one over to the frozen stream)

Bunny Ninja: AAAH! (Slides down)

Judd: I think I like this idea!

Judd attempted to knock another Ninja Bunny to the frozen stream, but they instead nearly got him to the frozen slide.

Judd: No! Not me! I don't want to go down this slide!

Lewis: And you won't have to! (Knocks the Bunny Ninja trying to push Judd onto the frozen stream onto the stream instead)

Bunny Ninja: AAAH! (Slides down)

Judd: Ah! Thanks, Dad! You've saved me twice!

The Stealthrangers kept on knocking more of the Bunny Ninjas onto the frozen stream, and they all slide down.

Bunny Ninjas: AAAAH! (Slides down)

Tracy: That's the last of them!

Marvin: I sure hope they have a nice trip down to the bottom of the mountain.

Stan: Now we better continue our trip to the top to put an end to this snowstorm.

Tracy: Yeah. I really want to be able to see Mom and Dad this Christmas. There is an old video I sure hope Mom kept around that I'd like to show you guys.

Stan: There is? What is it about?

Lucy: There's no time for that. We better continue our journey if we want to get back to your house at all.

Tracy: I am wondering if my parents suspect that we'll be getting through this?

Lewis: How much about Yokai does your dad know, Tracy?

Tracy: I am not sure. I don't think he knows as much as you do, Mr. Kitinger.

They continued on their way to hurry to the top. Over at the Yokai Mansion, Yokaimou was waiting for his sickness to get better. But he still felt as bad minute by minute.

Yokaimou: Why aren't I getting any better? Those Stealthrangers should have been finished by now!

Luanna Bunny: I am sure we'll get the news that they've been dealt with soon, my lord.

Madame Misfortune: With it snowing so much up there, they should be frozen anyway.

But then Yokaimou felt sicker and sicker.

Yokaimou: I am not getting better. In fact...ACHOO! I'm feeling worse!

Then, a Ladybug Cam flew in.

Yokaimou: This better be good news!

He inserted the disk to play it, but what he saw didn't make him happy.

Yokaimou: The Ninja Bunnies got defeated in the fight? I don't believe that!

Luanna Bunny: That icy slide does look like fun though.

Ninja Bunnies In the Video: AAAAAH! (As they are sliding)

Madame Misfortune: Does that sound like they are having fun to you?

Luanna Bunny: Maybe they just need to realize the fun!

Yokaimou: That is no fun at all! Especially for me-eh-eh-ACHOO! FOR ME! (Echos)

All Henchmen: AAAAH! (Each hides in a different spot in the mansion)

Yokaimou: Blizzantern better not let me down! I've had enough of that for the past year! ACHOO!

The place was getting snowier and snowier by the minute. The Stealthrangers were feeling a bit weak, but they pressed on.

Lewis: Ugh. This just makes me want to go back to the camper. I feel too tired to make another move with my legs.

Lucy: But we gotta keep going. We're already more than halfway up to the top. We gotta keep going.

Stan: When we get back to the camper, I just want to take a rest.

Judd: So do I.

Marvin: Evil had to not take the holiday, didn't they?

Lewis: I'm afraid not, Marvin.

Lucy: And where evil never takes a holiday, neither does the good that is fighting against them.

Blizzantern could see the Stealthrangers approaching him. They were just one floor away from the top.

Blizzantern: Oh no! The Stealthrangers! I cannot let them get me! Master Yokaimou would not be happy with me! I gotta do something to slow them down!

He looked around to see if there was any way he could slow them down. Then, he saw a rock close to the edge of the mountain.

Blizzantern: That will be perfect! (Runs over to the rock) I don't know if the rock will fall down onto them or just block their path. But either way, I win!

He began to push the rock, but it was a bit heavy to move.

Blizzantern: Come on!

He pushed, and he pushed, and he pushed! Down below, Lewis noticed the rock moving up at the top.

Lewis: Guys, I think that rock is in danger of falling down! We're going to need to move pretty fast past this point!

Tracy: Do you think it'll be safe in the snow? We could trip and fall, and then if the rock were to fall down, we'd have little to no time to move out of the way!

Stan: Then it is a chance that we'll have to take.

Everyone ran as fast as they could to get past the rock. Tracy knew she could go pretty fast anyway with her body shield, but she ran slightly slower than her usual speed as she didn't want to risk tripping. Up at the top, Blizzantern managed to get the rock loose enough that it began to move. It moved slowly and slowly, and then a bit faster. Soon, it began to roll off the edge.

Blizzantern: There we go.

Down below, everyone managed to get safely to the other side. All that is, except Tracy. She just slipped.

Tracy: Ah!

Stan: (Turns around) Uh oh! (Runs over)

Others: Stan!

Stan hurried over and grabbed Tracy's hand and pulled her out of the way just as the rock fell down.

Stan: Phew. That was a close one.

Tracy: (Pants) Oh my! I nearly got crushed! (Hugs Stan tightly)

Stan: Hehe! I was quite worried, too!

Lewis: Come on! Walk now, hug later!

Stan: He's right, Tracy.

Tracy: Oh. Sorry. (Let's Stan go)

Blizzantern was too busy to notice that all the Stealthrangers had made it past the rock. When he heard the crashing sound, he had the feeling that he had won.

Blizzantern: I've done it! I've done it! The Stealthrangers are history! Hmmm. I think maybe to celebrate, I'll create a bonus snowstorm!

But he was too busy to notice the Stealthrangers coming up behind him.

Lewis: And what exactly is it you are going to be celebrating, Mr. Yokai?

Blizzantern: Why, for crushing the Stealthrangers with this rock! So many Yokai that came before me tried to defeat them and I am the one who did it!

Lucy: So, you are thinking about throwing a party to celebrate?

Blizzantern: You bet I am!

Blizzantern was too busy being happy about his supposed defeat of the Stealthrangers that he didn't notice it was them he was talking to.

Stan: What are you going to have at your party?

Blizzantern: A bunch of snow cones!

Judd: And what else?

Blizzantern: Maybe some frozen custard.

Marvin: With sprinkles?

Blizzantern: If they are sour tasting, yes!

Tracy: Sour tasting? Yuck! I like sweet!

Blizzantern: Sweet! What kind of Yokai likes sweet?

That was when Blizzantern realized something.

Blizzantern: Wait a minute!

He turned around to see the six Stealthrangers all standing there!

Blizzantern: How did you...?

But before he could finish, the Stealthrangers zipped towards Blizzantern and struck at him with their swords.

Blizzantern: (Groans with each hit)

As the Stealthrangers continued to fight Blizzantern, the snow started the die down more and more. And soon, it had stopped snowing completely.

Blizzantern: No! My precious snow! ERGH! There is just one more thing I can do!

He ran over to the edge of the cliff and jumped off as some lightning surrounded him enlarging him.

Blizzantern: You Stealthrangers won't be foiling Yokaimou's Christmas!

Stan: Let's get this Yokai defeated so we can head on the road again!

Stealthrangers: Stealth Shogun Fighters! (They become the Stealth Shogun Fighters) Grand Stealth Shogun! (They then combined into the Grand Stealth Shogun)

Tracy: Ninja Fox Warrior!

The Ninja Fox ran in, Tracy got on board, and it transformed into the Ninja Fox Warrior.

Blizzantern: You don't look so hot! But I think you could be just a little bit cooler! (Creates strong storms at the Grand Stealth Shogun and Ninja Fox Warrior)

Stan: Whoa! This is feeling a bit chilly!

Tracy: You're telling me! And I'm inside of a cockpit. Not like you who actually BECOME your robots! I think we may need the Ninja Fox Stealth Shogun!

Lewis: I think you are right, Tracy!

All: Ninja Fox Stealth Shogun Combine! (They then form the Ninja Fox Stealth Shogun)

The Ninja Fox Grand Shogun's sword then lit up in flames and slashed at Blizzantern.

Blizzantern: No! This can't have been my final Christmas! (Falls down and explodes)

Tracy: This might have been his final Christmas, but it's about to become our best one!

Over at the Yokai Mansion, Yokaimou was sick in bed.

Yokaimou: Hurry up with that nasty soup! I'm...ACHOO! Still sneezing! ACHOO!

(Cuts to Madame Misfortune and Luanna Bunny in the kitchen making soup)

Madame Misfortune: I can't believe we have to care for Yokaimou for the next week!

Luanna Bunny: Those Stealthrangers just give me a headache! How can we not beat them?

Over at the Greytail's family residence, Oliver and Katie saw that the snow had cleared up.

Oliver: Hopefully with all the snow gone, the Stealthrangers should be able to make it.

Katie: I just hope they don't have any problems getting the camper started up.

Oliver: Oh yeah. Like that time we were supposed to be seeing my sister, but the snow was too much for my truck to handle.

(Tracy and the other Stealthrangers soon arrive inside the house)

Tracy: But at least Aunt Ashley was happy when we finally arrived after three days, right?

Oliver: Yeah. Wait...(Turns to see they had arrived) How did you get here so fast?

Tracy: It is a long story!

Tracy went to hug her dad, then went to hug her mom.

Katie: Welcome home, Tracy. It's good to see you made it home for Christmas.

Tracy: It is great to be home, Mom. ^^ By the way, do you still have that old tape about the forest competition?

Katie: I sure do. It is on the VCR.

Tracy: Then let's watch it.

They got the tape into the VCR.

Stan: So what is this tape about?

Tracy: It is about a competition some forest animals are having. Although a crow mother is determined that her daughter wins, but dishonestly.

Lucy: Oh dear.

Tracy: But don't worry. It does have a happy ending.

They had watched through the VHS. Even though it was only nine minutes long, they all enjoyed it. After that, they all headed to bed, and in the morning, they had a fantastic Christmas. Merry Christmas, Stealthrangers! And Merry Christmas to you, too!

To be continued...
