A Roman Disaster (Transcript)

This is the 14th episode of Traffic Squadron: Roadranger.

Out in space was a monster wearing gold armor and was roman-themed. He was riding in his space chariot. This was Julius Crasher.

Julius Crasher: I haven't seen very many vehicles in the past while. I guess I have been successful in destroying every single vehicle on every single planet.

Then, Julius Crasher noticed something. It was the Velocity Star Ship.

Julius Crasher: Hmmm. I wonder if there are any vehicles I could smash on that ship.

Julius Crasher went over to the Velocity Star Ship, and had landed. Inside the ship, they got an intruder alert sound.

Warhog: Hey, what's that?

Graphite: There's an intruder on the ship, boss!

Tige: Then we must stop him! Let's go!

So Graphite and Tige came out and they then saw Julius Crasher destroying the vehicles they had on board.

Graphite: Vandal! Stop with that!

Tige: Who do you think you are?

Julius Crasher: I am Julius Crasher. I am destroyer of all vehicles. I do not appreciate how they had just replaced roman carts with them on my planet, and even on other planets throughout the solar system.

Tige: Destroyer of vehicles, huh? I think this guy could be of some use to us.

Graphite: What do you mean, Tige?

Tige: Let's have him follow us to the boss and have him explain his story.

Graphite: Great idea. Excuse me, Julius Crasher, but I think you would be of some good use to us.

Julius Crasher: Really?

Graphite: Follow us. I'm sure the boss will be happy with your story.

Julius Crasher: OK, then.

So Graphite and Tige brought Julius Crasher over to Warhog.

Tige: Warhog, we have the culprit who has been smashing our vehicles on the ship.

Warhog: Well, what do you have to say for yourself, boy?

Julius Crasher: Sir, these two have told me that I could be of good use to you.

Warhog: Really? How?

Julius Crasher: I can destroy vehicles across the galaxy. I've been doing it for centuries.

Warhog: When was the last time you crushed anyone's vehicles?

Julius Crasher: Just now, right on this very ship.

Warhog: I meant before that.

Julius Crasher: Before that was on the planet, Corodger. That was 1,000 years ago.

Brakenstein: 1,000 years ago?

Julius Crasher: Yeah. Every planet I visited since then didn't have any life on it. In fact, I'm not even sure if the next planet after Corodger is even an actual planet, but really just a floating asteroid out in space.

Tige: No wonder it's been so long. You've been using a chariot to get around in space. It's must faster to travel by ship.

Julius Crasher: I don't believe in that modern technology.

Graphite: Warhog, we were thinking we could have Julius Crasher smash all the vehicles on Earth.

Julius Crasher: Oh, is that what you want me for?

Warhog: Hey, that is a perfect plan. I like how you think, you two.

Tige: With no more cars to go around, there will be chaos.

Julius Crasher: I was just thinking that they'd go back to using chariots like they used to.

Warhog: Well, will you still do it?

Julius Crasher: Of course I will.

And Julius Crasher headed out into his chariot.

Julius Crasher: I will not let you down.

And then Julius Crash floated slowly away out into space towards the earth.

Tige: That's going to take him a while, isn't it?

Graphite: Oh boy. Maybe we should give him a boost.

Julius Crasher: No need for it.

But Julius Crasher still continued to go slowly out into space.

(Cuts to the villains sitting in the space ship, looking board)

Warhog: (Looks out the window to see Julius Crasher a few miles from the Velocity Star ship) Brakenstein, how long has it been since Julius Crasher has left us to head to Earth?

Brakenstein: It's been about 2 hours.

Eaglette: 2 hours? All our monsters so far have only traveled there in a matter of seconds.

Tige: Maybe asking for his assistance was not such a good idea after all.

Graphite: I know he said that modern technology he didn't believe in, but I think we really should give him a boost.

Warhog: You know what, Graphite, I agree with you. Let's give him that boost.

Julius Crasher was going slowly out into space in his chariot when Graphite and Tige showed up in their vehicle.

Julius Crasher: What are you doing? I told you I don't need....

Tige: The boss says you've been taking too long out here in space. You should have been on the Earth a long time ago.

Graphite: Warhog said that we need to give you a rocket boost to Earth.

Graphite and Tige installed a rocket into Julius Crasher's chariot. Then the rocket lit up and Julius Crasher sped to Earth.

Julius Crasher: AAAAAAAAH!

Tige: There he goes. He shouldn't be traveling long.

And indeed, Julius Crasher soon arrived on Earth.

Julius Crasher: Errr! So this is Earth, huh? Strange. I thought it would be more blue and green and white like it does in space. Oh well, if the Velocity Star Gang says there are vehicles for me to destroy on this planet, then I'll get right onto it.

Meanwhile, Jack, Benji, and Dale were over at Jack's house where they were looking at a model chariot that Jack had.

Benji: This is an impressive chariot, Jack.

Dale: Where did it come from?

Jack: My uncle Max got it from his trip to Rome.

Benji: Your uncle had?

Dale: What was he doing in Rome anyway?

Jack: He was on a business trip there.

(Cuts to a flashback of a panda man, who was Jack's uncle, going into a giftshop)

Jack VO: When he stopped by the gift shop, he saw the chariot, and thought it would make a great souvenir for his time there. So he bought it and brought it back home.

(Cuts to Uncle Max meeting with a ten-year-old Jack)

Young Jack: Uncle Max, you're back from your trip!

Uncle Max: Sure am, kiddo.

Young Jack: Did you get something for me on your trip?

Uncle Max: I sure have, Jack.

Jack VO: Uncle Max then got the chariot out of his bag and handed it to me. I was impressed with how it looked. But I didn't know what it was at first.

Young Jack: Oh wow! Uh, what is it?

Uncle Max: It's a chariot.

Young Jack: What's a chariot.

Uncle Max: A chariot is a cart that people in ancient times used to get around before cars were invented. How it would work is that someone would sit right here (Points to the front seat) and hold some ropes to control this horse at the front pulling it.

Young Jack: Oh, like Amish people used?

Uncle Max: Exactly.

Young Jack: How cool!

(Cuts to the present day)

Jack: And I've had this chariot since then.

Benji: So interesting.

Dale: I wish I could have something like that.

Jack: It is a nice treasure, isn't it?

Benji: Definitely.

Then, they got rings from their communicators.

Speedstar: Guys, hurry to the base! There's trouble!

Jack: Oh boy. We better go see what's the matter now.

The boys then headed over to the base. Kristy and Vicky were already there when they arrived.

Kristy: What is going on, Speedstar?

Speedstar: Let's look at the viewing screen.

They looked at the screen to see Julius Crasher smashing vehicles all around town.

Julius Crasher: Smash it! Smash it! All around the town! Smash it! Smash it! Until they're all down!

Vicky: Whoa! What is he doing?

Benji: By the looks of it, he's smashing all those cars.

Vicky: Yeah. I can see that. What is his problem?

Jack: Perhaps he just really hates cars.

Dale: Now who would hate cars?

Kristy: Well, I know of this guy who runs a railway of little trains who prefers to use a bicycle instead of a car.

Vicky: Who's that, Kristy?

Kristy: Some guy in a children's show.

Vicky: I just hope he has no plans on destroying cars.

Kristy: I don't think he would ever do that.

Jack: But I think we need to put a stop to this moron before he destroys every last car in the city.

Kristy: And we shall do that. Let's go!

All: Road Changer! (Transforms into their Roadranger forms)

The Roadrangers then headed out, when they arrived in the city, they saw Julius Crasher riding his chariot from the last car he had smashed to the next car that had not been damaged yet. Just like before, he was going very slowly.

Jack: Wait, that guy has a chariot?

Dale: I guess he finds the chariot to work better as a means of transportation than cars.

Kristy: Is that exactly what you are doing, monster?

Julius Crasher: You got it, toots. I'm destroying every car on this planet and soon, you'll have to replace them with chariots like mine.

Benji: Or we just build some new cars.

Julius Crasher: If you build new cars, I'll just come back and destroy them, too.

Kristy: Then we'll have to destroy you first. Weapons, everyone.

The Roadrangers got out their swords and charged for Julius Crasher! Julius Crasher then got out his spear and charged for then.

Dale: A spear? That'll be real easy to slice up.

Julius Crasher: You think?

Dale tried using his sword to slice Julius Crasher's spear, but it just caused him to shake for a bit.

Dale: Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!

Vicky: Let me guess. Metal spear?

Julius Crasher: Sure thing.

Vicky then began fighting against, Julius Crasher, but she wasn't able to hit him with her sword.

Vicky: ERGH!

Julius Crasher: (Knocks Vicky away)

Vicky: (Falls onto the ground) Oof!

Then, Benji jumped with his sword to try and slice Julius Crasher, but Julius Crasher turned around at the last minute to shield himself with his spear! Benji's sword hit the spear.

Benji: Whoa! (Falls backwards onto the ground)

Jack: Are you alright, buddy? (Grabs Benji's hand to help him up)

Benji: Yeah. I'm alright. Thanks, Jack.

Jack: This one is a toughy.

Benji: No kidding.

Kristy began fighting against Julius Crasher next.

Kristy: Come on! There has to be a way to break through this spear!

Julius Crasher: There is no way, Red girl! (Knocks Kristy back)

Kristy: AAAH!

Julius Crasher: Face it, Roadrangers. You'll never be able to beat me!

Benji: Kristy, what should we do?

Kristy: I don't know.

Jack: I think Uncle Max may know of something we could do to beat him. Let's go and see him.

Dale: Alright then.

Kristy: This isn't over!

And the Roadrangers got onto their Roadranger cycles and drove off.

Julius Crasher: Oh. I missed those! Oh well. When they get back, I'll just destroy them!

Down the road, the Roadrangers were driving out of town. Jack was in the lead since he knew the way.

Benji: So your uncle lives out of town?

Jack: Yeah. He's a guy who prefers to be out in the country.

Vicky: He's not a city person, is he?

Jack: He likes the country more, but he does like to visit the city on occasions. Here's his mailbox.

But the others didn't see any house nearby.

Kristy: Uh, Jack, where is your uncle's house?

Jack: Over this way.

Jack then turned down the path leading down a hill where a house was shown to be.

Benji: Your uncle lives at the bottom of a hill?

Jack: Yeah. Although when it snows, he has trouble getting out. My parents keep telling him he needs to move somewhere else, but he doesn't listen.

Soon, the Roadrangers made it to the bottom of the hill and into the driveway. They parked their Roadranger cycles when suddenly, a panda man came out of the house.

Uncle Max: Who are all of you, motorcycle gang? Why have you arrived all the way out in the country and come to the bottom of my hill? Didn't you see the mailbox.

Jack: Uncle Max, it's me.

Uncle Max: Jack? Is that you?

Jack: Yes. (Takes his helmet off) It is me.

Uncle Max: Since when have you joined a motorcycle gang?

Jack: It's not a motorcycle gang, we're the Traffic Squadron: Roadranger team.

The other Roadrangers then took their helmets off, too.

Kristy: We're the heroes that Speedstar chose to protect the Earth from the Velocity Star Gang. The gang responsible for my brother's disappearance.

Uncle Max: Oh. I see.

Jack: Anyway, these are my friends. Kristy is Road Red. She's the leader of the team. Benji is Road Yellow, Dale is Road Green, and Vicky is Road White. Oh, and I'm Road Blue.

Uncle Max: So what are you doing here?

Dale: Well, Mr. Pandawoski....

Uncle Max: Actually, my last name is Spotsworth.

Jack: He's my mom's older brother.

Dale: Oh. Sorry about that.

Uncle Max: It's OK.

Dale: Anyway, Mr. Spotsworth, we were fighting a monster that is destroying cars.

Uncle Max: A monster destroying cars? Why is he doing that?

Kristy: Well, I think he's jealous that cars have replaced chariots in transportation.

Benji: And Jack has told us that you might know of a way to help us defeat him.

Dale: Jack said you went on a trip to Rome one time and bought him a chariot from the gift shop.

Vicky: Do you know of any way that we can defeat this monster with Roman knowledge?

Uncle Max: I suppose if you gave me more details about the monster. Come on in.

The Roadrangers then walked into Uncle Max's house and they sat down on the couch.

Uncle Max: Alright, Roadrangers. Tell me about this monster.

The Roadrangers explained all about Julius Crasher to Jack's Uncle Max. They told him about the monster destroying all the cars in the city and his metal spear.

Uncle Max: So this monster has a metal spear, does he?

Jack: That's right.

Uncle Max: Hmmm. Well, maybe you could get back at him by destroying his chariot.

Jack: I....I am not sure I want to do that, Uncle Max.

Benji: Besides. How can that defeat him and get past his metal spear?

Uncle Max: I guess that may not work. What else could work? Maybe some of the books I got from Rome could help.

Uncle Max got up and went over to his books. Then he opened one up and began reading.

Uncle Max: O modalitate de a trece prin ...

Jack: Uh, Uncle Max.

Uncle Max: Oh right. I guess nobody here speaks Romanian. I'll do my best to translate. (Clears through) One way to get past the spears that Roman soldiers carry is by using a shield that is so hard, it'll shatter the spear.

Kristy: Well, that would help us if the spear wasn't made of metal.

Dale: Maybe we could find a metal that's stronger than spear.

Vicky: But we don't even know what kind of metal his spear is made out of.

Jack: How could we ever find out?

Dale: Maybe we could trick him into telling us.

Benji: But how could we do that?

Uncle Max: I think I could help out.

Jack: You think you can do it?

Uncle Max: Just trust me. I've got an interesting plan.

Later, Julius Crasher was still going around destroying all the cars in the city with his spear.

Julius Crasher: You know, I think this is boring to do without the Roadrangers to get in the way. Maybe I'll take a break until they come back.

Then, he saw a guy in a coat and a big mustache and a brown hat. He was holding some papers.

Coated Figure: Excuse me, sir, are you interested in winning a free hamburger?

Julius Crasher: A hamburger, eh? OK. I guess I have some time before the Roadrangers come back. Alright.

Coated Figure: All you got to do is answer to me these three question. Question 1, how many planets are in this solar system?

Julius Crasher: Uh....Nine?

Coated Figure: Well....I guess that's correct. Second question, what do all the planets in this galaxy rotate around?

Julius Crasher: Um.....The Earth?

Coated Figure: Uh....Correct. Last question, what kind of metal was used to make your spear?

Julius Crasher: Ah. That's super easy. It's iron.

Coated Figure: Congratulations, sir. You're the winner. Here is your burger. (Hands it to Julius Crasher)

Julius Crasher: Thanks. (Takes it and eats it, then walks off)

The coated figure then went into an alley and took off his coat, hat, and mustache, revealing himself to be Uncle Max.

Jack: Way to go, Uncle Max.

Dale: But two of those questions were incorrect. There aren't nine planets in our solar system. There are eight.

Benji: What do you mean, Dale? I thought there were nine?

Dale: Pluto's not considered a planet anymore. Also, the planets all rotate around the sun. Not the Earth. That's just what they was it in the middle ages.

Uncle Max: Well I had to say he was correct so he would tell me what his spear was made of. Besides, it's not like it really matters if he knows those answers to be correct anyway. So anyway, now that we know what his spear is made of, now we need to find something that's stronger.

Jack: Do you know what is stronger than iron, Uncle Max?

Uncle Max: Steel is stronger than iron.

Benji: But where are we going to find some steel?

Dale: Maybe some ninjas have some.

Vicky: Ninjas? Since when did ninjas have steel?

Jack: And where will we find ninjas anyway?

Uncle Max: Hahahaha. You don't need to worry about finding any steel. I know where there is plenty. Follow me.

Uncle Max took the Roadrangers to a cave full of steel.

Uncle Max: Here we are. The cave of steel.

Kristy: OK. So now that we have the steel, how can we get it to break Julius Crasher's spear?

Jack: Wait, I think I have an idea.

Later, Julius Crasher was going around looking for a vehicle to destroy.

Julius Crasher: Gees. I wonder why the Roadrangers are not back yet? I'm getting bored of waiting for them.

Then, he saw a very shiny looking car.

Julius Crasher: Hey, that care looks so nice. I think I'll destroy it! Hehehehe!

Then, Julius Crasher charged for the car with his spear. But when his spear hit the car, it caused his spear to break apart.

Julius Crasher: What? My spear! I don't believe this! What is this car made of anyway?

Then, out of the car came the Roadrangers.

Roadrangers: Steel!

Julius Crasher: Steel?

Kristy: Jack's uncle helped us to find some steel. Then we melted some of it down to create this fake steel car.

Julius Crasher: Oh well. I guess I'll have to go with my old sword and shield.

Julius Crasher then got out his sword and shield.

Julius Crasher: I haven't used these since I got my spear years ago since it was stronger than before. Oh well.

Julius Crasher then charged for the Roadrangers.

Kristy: Weapons, everyone.

They all got out their swords and charged for Julius Crasher. Uncle Max was watching them in action.

Uncle Max: Wow. My own nephew, Jack. Fighting as a savior of the planet. I am so honored to be related to such a hero.

Then, Graphite drove into view with some motorjacks.

Graphite: Motorjacks, go help Julius Crasher!

The motorjacks then jumped out and joined up with Julius Crasher. The Roadrangers fought against the motorjacks first. Kristy swung her sword at the legs of the motorjacks, causing them to all trip.

Kristy: Have a nice trip. I'll see you next fall.

Jack managed to knock out some more motorjacks.

Jack: Take this, you worthless bikers!

Benji charged his head at some motorjacks.

Benji: (Bull sounds)

Motorjack: AAAAH!

Dale flew into the air and knocked some over.

Dale: Airborne attack!

Motorjack: AAAH! (Falls over)

and Vicky zipped from different places as if out of no where, surprising some motorjacks.

Vicky: Am I here?

Motorjack: Huh? (Gets knocked over by Vicky)

Vicky: (Appears in another spot behind a motorjack) Or here? (Knocks him over) Hehehe.

Julius Crasher attempted to battle the Roadrangers with his sword a shield.

Julius Crasher: You'll never get me behind my protective shield.

The Roadrangers each made a sword attack at Julius Crasher's shield. With each crash, the shield began breaking apart. Kristy attacked last, causing the shield to shatter.

Julius Crasher: That useless shield! (Tries attacking with his sword, but Kristy knocked his sword away)

Kristy: The battle ends here.

Graphite: I don't think so! Julius Crasher, eat this! (Throws him a velocity bar)

Julius Crasher: (Takes it) I don't know what this will do, but OK. (Eats it, causing him to grow giant) Whoa! I'm gigantic!

Uncle Max: Oh my goodness. He's gotten big.

Jack: Don't worry, Uncle Max. We can handle this.

Kristy: Road Ranger Vehicles!

The Road Ranger Vehicles soon arrived and the Roadrangers boarded them and assembled Roadranger Robo.

Julius Crasher: How nice, a giant robot for me to tear apart. (Comes towards Roadranger Robo)

Roadranger Robo grabbed Julius Crasher's arms as he attempted to try and take Roadranger Robo apart.

Julius Crasher: I am not going to let this robot ruin my fun!

Roadranger Robo: (Throws Julius Crasher over)

Julius Crasher: OOF!

Uncle Max: Good work, Roadrangers!

But then Julius Crasher got up.

Julius Crasher: You'll pay for that! (Charges at Roadranger Robo)

Kristy: Roadranger Sword!

The sword appeared in Roadranger Robo's hand.

Julius Crasher: Uh oh. Not good.

Roadranger Robo then zipped towards Julius Crasher, spun around, and then hit Julius Crasher.

Julius Crasher: AAAAH! Apparently no one is entertained tonight! (Falls and explodes)

Uncle Max: Way to go, guys.

Jack: Thank you, Uncle Max.

Graphite: Darn it! You'll pay for this, Roadrangers!

And then Graphite left. Later, the Roadrangers were thanking Jack's Uncle Max.

(The Roadrangers are completely demorphed)

Kristy: Well, Mr. Spotsworth, we couldn't have defeated this monster without you.

Uncle Max: You are welcome. By the way, if you need to use that steel for anything else to help you in your battle against these aliens, you can use all the steel you want.

Jack: Wow. Thanks, Uncle Max.

Uncle Max: Well, I better get back home now. I'll see you later.

Jack: OK. Bye, Uncle Max.

And Uncle Max left. Later, the Roadrangers took Speedstar to the steel cave to show him the steel.

Speedstar: Since your uncle was generous enough to let us use this steel, I was thinking I could create some more powerful weapons to help us in our battle.

Benji: What sort of weapons, Speedstar?

Speedstar: You'll see. I'll be taking some of this steel back to the base and work on some new weapons.

Dale: Wow. I cannot wait to see what you come up with, Speedstar.

Speedstar: You won't be disappointed.

Later, the Roadrangers were walking in the city as they saw some broken cars being towed away to the repair shop.

Kristy: It's a good thing that Speedstar was able to supply the money for the repairs for all of these damaged cars.

Benji: Yeah. I don't think all of these poor people would have been able to pay the damages made to these cars anyway.

Vicky: If only we could make the Velocity Star Gang pay for the damages. But there's no way they would pay.

Dale: Hey, that monster left his chariot behind.

Jack: Hey, that's great. I'm going to take it home and put it in my yard.

Jack went over to the chariot and got into it.

Jack: Alright. How do you make this move?

Jack then found some invisible ropes and moved them, causing the chariot to move around.

Jack: Wow. This is neat. I can even float into the air.

The other Roadrangers watched as Jack floated in the air.

Kristy: Uh, aren't you going slow, Jack?

Jack: It's fine. I like to enjoy the ride.

Benji: Whatever you say.

Jack must really like his new chariot. And being able to float in the air with it. It's amazing what great stuff monsters can leave behind after they've been defeated.

To be continued....
