Lucky's Arachnophobia (Transcript)

This is the 12th episode of Nature Squadron: Fangranger.

Over at Lucky's house one day, Lucky had gone up into the attic.

Lucky: I can't believe that Dad is having me look for his old football trophy in the attic. Couldn't he do that himself when he got home from work?

Mrs. Fangsworth's Voice: Lucky, just look for the trophy!

Lucky: (Sighs) Alright, Mom!

He then began to search around for his dad's trophy. He opened up the first box. In it was a bunch of old books.

Lucky: Nope. It isn't in this box.

He went over to the next box, but in it were some old board games.

Lucky: Not this one, either.

He then went over to the next box. In this one was a bunch of old beer bottles.

Lucky: Not this one, either. Although I forgot that Dad used to collect beer bottles.

Just then, Lucky saw something that freak him out. Inside one of the beer bottles was a spider.

Lucky: AAAAAH!

And he rushed down the ladder from the attic back to the second floor. His mom was down there.

Mrs. Fangsworth: Lucky, where is your dad's old football trophy?

Lucky: Sorry, Mom. I haven't found it yet.

Mrs. Fangsworth: Then what are you doing down here without it?

Lucky: I just saw a spider.

Mrs. Fangsworth: Oh, your old fear of spiders kicking in again? You do realize you are much better than a little spider. That spider might be more scared of you than you are of it.

Lucky: I don't want to look for the trophy all on my own. Can you help me find it?

Mrs. Fangsworth: I'm going to be having my book club in a few minutes, so I am not going to have any time to help you.

Lucky: Then, can I call my friends over to help me look for it?

Mrs. Fangsworth: Well, if they are not busy with anything, then I suppose you could call them over.

Lucky: Thanks, Mom.

And Lucky went over to the phone and began to dial a number.

Lucky: Hello, Ted. Can I ask you to do a favor for me?

Up in the attic, Decepto emerged from the back of some boxes.

Decepto: Hmmm. So Fang Green has arachnophobia, does he?

He went over to the box with all of the beer bottles and looked around for the spider.

Decepto: That little guy has to be around here somewhere!

But all the bottles were empty. Decepto was confused.

Decepto: That's odd. I was sure Fang Green reacted to a spider in these beer bottles.

He lifted the box upside down and the beer bottles fell out and broke upon hitting the floor. Downstairs, Lucky and his mom heard a breaking sound.

Lucky: What was that?

Mrs. Fangsworth: :?

Up in the attic, Decepto looked nervous because he was scared that he was going to get caught. He looked in the box to find the spider. And then he saw it.

Decepto: Hey, little guy. (Grabs it in his hand) I think you will be coming with me.

He then disappeared.

(Cuts to all five Fangrangers in the attic)

Lucky: It was nice of you to come over and help me.

Denny: It is no problem, Lucky. Happy to help.

Lucky: It feels so much better to be here with my friends and not alone with that...spider.

Bernie: Oh, you're scared of a little spider?

Lucky: Uh-huh.

Bernie: Well, I don't think they are that scary.

Lucky: You don't?

Bernie: Nope. I think they're delicious.

Lucky: O\_O

Ted: Well, she is a bird and birds do eat bugs.

Lucky: Well anyway, my dad will be home at 6:00. So we need to find that trophy before th-AAAAH!

Becky: What's the matter, Lucky?

Denny: Is it that spider again?

Lucky: No! Worse! Look!

They all went over and saw the pieces of broken glass.

Ted: Uh oh. That isn't good.

Lucky: I did hear a breaking sound when I was calling you guys over. I must have placed this box somewhere where it could fall off. This was where I found the spider. Oh man, my dad is going to kill me when he finds out about this.

Ted: I'm sure he'll understand, Lucky.

Lucky: This was also where I saw the spider, but I don't see it now.

Denny: So this spider could be anywhere in this attic?

Lucky: I think it is.

Lucky looked around to see if he could see the spider. But he didn't.

Bernie: Lucky, we'll find that trophy and get out of here. Don't you worry.

Lucky: Thanks, guys.

And they began to search. Meanwhile, in Verminator's lair, Decepto had just arrived back.

Verminator: Did you find anything, Decepto?

Decepto: Yep. I was spying on Fang Green in his attic and I found this. (Shows the spider)

Sheba: AAAH! A yucky spider! (Covers her eyes)

Decepto: Oh, you have arachnophobia, too?

Sheba: What is arachio-no phobena?

Fangulee: Arachnophobia! It means you are scared of spiders!

Sheba: That's exactly it! I am scared of spiders!

Decepto: You aren't the only one to have arachnophobia, Sheba. Fang Green has it, too. That is why I brought this spider back. I am thinking of creating it into a new monster.

Verminator: Hmmm. That sounds like a neat idea. I heard spiders can spin webs. Maybe this spider can create webs to cover the entire city. Or even the entire world. Decepto, make this spider into a monster at once.

Decepto: Will do, boss.

Fangulee: Hold up! I think a simple spider monster is not much of a threat. I think you should also make it a lobster monster.

Decepto: A lobster monster?

Fangulee: One with big claws. I personally think that spiders would be a lot more threatening if they had lobster claws.

Verminator: I bet Fang Green will be too scared to fight. Heck, maybe the others will be too scared as well.

Decepto: Alright then. A spider and lobster monster it is!

Decepto brought the spider to his lab table and got to work.

Decepto: Spidy lobby law, this spider into something that also has lobster claws!

Soon, the spider was transformed into a spider and lobster-like monster.

Decepto: Hmmm. An Arachnobster mobster! I mean and Arachnobster lonster! I mean...(Says it really slowly) Ar-rach-nob-ster lob-ster! Arachnobster lobster! Hey, that is a good name. Arachnobster! Arachnobster, go after the Fangrangers!

Arachnobster: Will do, sir!

And Arachnobster went on his way. As he was heading out of the lair, Sheba saw him and jumped.

Sheba: AAAH! (Zips away and hides behind Verminator) I think that is even scarier than spiders!

Verminator: I sure hope this monster scared the Fangrangers more than he did you, Sheba!

Sheba: Still quite scary to me as well!

Verminator: Scaredy-cat!

Sheba: Hey! I'm not a scaredy-cat!

Verminator: I beg to differ with that, Sheba!

Fangulee: No need to get into a fight! We should depend on the monster to do all the fighting for us!

Sheba: You mean have the monster argue over whether or not I'm a scaredy cat?

Fangulee: No! Have the monster fight the Fangrangers! I was certain you knew I meant that, right?

Verminator: I knew that!

Sheba: I didn't!

Verminator: I know that!

Sheba:...I don't feel like arguing anymore. (Walks away)

Back at Lucky's house, he and his friends were still looking for the trophy.

Ted: (Opens up a box and pulls out a long paperclip chain) I guess your dad was really into paperclips, wasn't he, Lucky?

Lucky: Actually, that's my mom's.

Becky: Wow. Your mom was into paperclips?

Lucky: Not exactly. That was just the result of her being bored when she was my age. Anytime she was bored, she'd add a new paperclip to her chain.

Bernie: Oh. (Looks in the box to see that it was nearly full of paperclips) I am guessing she was bored a lot.

Lucky: It does look like it.

Denny then opened up another box and pulled out a huge blanket.

Denny: Whoa! Look at this!

Lucky: Denny, be careful with that!

Denny: Be careful? Why?

Lucky: (Rushes over to the chest and put the blanket back) That is a blanket that my grandmother made. My dad has been keeping it for a long time. It is very special for him.

Denny: Oh. Sorry about that, Lucky.

Then, they had gotten a call from Swiftpaw.

Swiftpaw's Voice: Fangrangers, I hate to interrupt, but we've got trouble.

Ted: Oh boy. Well, it looks like that trophy will have to wait, guys. We got some trouble to take care of.

Lucky: (Sighs) Alright.

Ted: We're teleporting now.

And they teleported away to the tree base. They soon arrived where Swiftpaw and Acornio were waiting.

Ted: What is the trouble, Swiftpaw?

Swiftpaw: Check the image on the wall.

They checked it to see Arachnobster going around using his lobster claws to cut things up, such as the legs of a bench, then a stop sign, then a fire hydrant.

Arachnobster: Hahahahaha!

Becky: Man, that is an ugly-looking thing.

Denny: Has a face only a mother could love.

Bernie: Or in this case, a magic creator could love.

Ted then noticed that Lucky was not standing next to them.

Ted: Uh, Lucky?

They saw Lucky hiding under a table on the other side of the room, covering his eyes.

Ted: Lucky!

Bernie: What is going on now?

Lucky: That thing is e-e-e-e-even scarier than the spi-i-i-ider that I saw in the attic earlier!

Bernie went over, grabbed Lucky's hand, and pulled him out.

Bernie: Come on, Lucky. Don't be a scaredy coyote.

Lucky: I'm not a scaredy coyote.

Becky: Then why were you hiding under the table at the sight of that monster?

Lucky: .....OK. So I might be a little scared. I don't know why I am scared of spiders. I just am.

Denny: It is quite common for people to be scared of spiders, Lucky.

Swiftpaw: Everybody is scared of something, Lucky.

Lucky: Really?

Acornio: Oh. It is true. I'm afraid of large dirt piles.

Swiftpaw: Yep. One time, when I was digging a hole to plant a tree in...

(Cuts to a flashback of Swiftpaw and Acornio as Swiftpaw was holding a shovel)

Swiftpaw VO: I had dug up quite a lot of dirt. It piled up.

Flashback Swiftpaw: Well, that should be a big enough hole. Now to put in the tree. Acornio, do you have the tree? (Sees Acornio is missing) Acornio?

Flashback Acornio's Voice: Mmmmm!

Flashback Swiftpaw: Oh my goodness! (Hurringly removes the dirt to get Acornio out) I'm so sorry, Acornio. I guess I wasn't watching where I was throwing the dirt.

Flashback Acornio: (Brushes the dirt off) That was horrifying!

(Cuts back to the present)

Acornio: Since then, I've never gone out to help Swiftpaw plant any trees.

Bernie: When you said you were scared of dirt piles, I assumed it was because you were an acorn and that acorns need to be planted into the ground to grow into trees.

Becky: I don't think it would work for Acornio.

Denny: How would you know, Becky? You don't know that much about Acornio.

Ted: Enough with the discussion on fears. We have a monster to take down.

All: Nature Fang Change! (They transformed into their ranger forms)

They soon headed out into the city where Arachnobster was causing trouble.

Arachnobster: Ah. It is about time you got here, Fangrangers. Especially you, Fang Green!

Lucky: What? Me? You knew I'd be coming?

Denny: Why is that any different from the rest of us?

Arachnobster: Because I know Fang Green's fear. He's scared of spiders. I should know because shortly before I became the monster I am now, I saw him in a glass bottle.

Lucky: Wait. You're the spider I saw in my attic?

Arachnobster: You got that right. And I'm prepared to scare the wits out of you! (Fires a plasma energy ball at Lucky)

Lucky: Ah! (Jumps clear of it as the plasma ball hits the wall behind him) That was too close!

Arachnobster: Well, try this on for size.

Arachnobster's claws then turned into different weapons. One claw turned into a spiky mace, and the other into a flaming sword. Then he charged toward Lucky. He began swinging his spiky mace hand at Lucky. Lucky just kept on walking backward to try and avoid getting hit by the spiky mace.

Arachnobster: What's the matter, Greeny? Scared of a little mace? Or maybe a little spider? Oh, wait, a LARGE SPIDER!!!

Lucky: AAAAH!

Bernie: Hey, how dare you try and scare Lucky like that! Owl Hooter! (Uses her Owl Hooter to blast at Arachnobster)

Arachnobster: ERGH! That blasted Owl Hooter! (Blasts a web from his abdomen and it wraps around Bernie)

Bernie: Ah! I can't move!

Lucky: Oh no! Bernie!

Arachnobster continued to go after Lucky. He then began to use his flame sword at Lucky.

Lucky: Whoa! Too hot! (Jumps to try and avoids getting hit by the fire as Arachnobster tries swinging his flame sword at his feet) I am not in the mood to play jump rope. Especially with fire.

Arachnobster: Keep on jumping, Greeny!

Lucky: OK, that is a really bad name to give to me! It is like I'm being accused of a crime I didn't commit!

Then, Arachnobster's flame sword was wrapped up by Denny's Monkey Whip.

Denny: You keep that fire away from my friends' legs!

Arachnobster: How about I give you this! (Blasts a web from his abdomen and it wraps around Denny)

Denny: Ugh!

Becky: Hey, nobody does that to Denny! (Fires her Carrot Blasters at Arachnobster)

But Becky's blasts reflected off of Arachnobster's back.

Arachnobster: Nice try, Whitey!

Becky: That's one letter away from calling me witty!

Arachnobster: Whitey, witty! Whatever I call you...(Blasts a web from his abdomen and it wraps around Becky)

Ted: You may have gotten all of them caught up, Arachnobster! But I am Red-y for you! Get it? Because I'm Fang Red?

Arachnobster:...

Lucky: (Laughs)

Arachnobster: That wasn't funny! (Blasts a web from his abdomen and it wraps around Ted)

Ted: I wasn't ready for this!

Arachnobster: Hahahaha! That's a good one. "I wasn't red-y for this!"

Ted: I wasn't making a pun that time! -\_-

Arachnobster: Well, now that your friends are out of the way, I'll just finish you off.

But Lucky was nowhere to be seen.

Lucky: Where did he go?

Bernie: Lucky? He just disappeared.

Arachnobster: I'll find him yet. You Fangrangers stay where you are.

And he hurried off.

Ted: (Manages to jump from his spot) Come on, guys. Let's see if we can find someplace to get these webs off.

And they all began to jump around in their webs. But very slowly.

Bernie: This feels quite weird. Moving around with these spider webs on.

Becky: I wouldn't mind them so much if they were made of a softer material than sticky spider webs.

Denny: Hopefully we can find something to get these spider webs off.

As they waddled, they saw some people watching them. The adults were all shocked, while the kids laughed.

Ted: What is so funny, kids? The fact that your heroes are in a literal sticky situation?

Becky: You wouldn't be laughing if you were stuck like this.

Corgi Boy: Where is the green one? I see the red one, the blue one, the white one, and the pink one. But green is missing.

Bernie: Lu-err, Fang Green was able to get away. But he is out there. (To herself) I hope so.

Meanwhile, Lucky was hiding at the park behind some bushes. Hiding from Arachnobster.

Lucky: This is quite bad. This monster has gotten all my friends, and I am out here. All alone without any help. Facing off against the scariest monster I've ever seen. (Pauses for a while) And I still haven't found my dad's trophy!

He peaked out from behind the bushes to see Arachnobster still looking around. Then he went back into hiding.

Lucky: I think first I need to find the others and help them out of their spider web cocoons. Then come up with a plan. What am I saying? I don't have many places to search for my friends. But I don't want Arachnobster to know what I am up to. (Peaks out again) I'll just hide here until he stops searching.

Over in Verminator's lair, Verminator saw that Lucky was hiding.

Verminator: I see that Fang Green is hiding from that monster. Just as I planned. Hehehe.

Sheba: But boss, Fang Green says he'll help his friends the moment Arachnobster stops searching around there. Isn't there something we should do?

Verminator: Hmmm. You go out there with some Vermdemics and lure him out with a fight. He'll have no choice but to appear then.

Sheba: With that monster?

Verminator: Was I right about you being a sca-

Sheba: FINE! I'LL DO IT!

Verminator: That's what I'd like to hear.

Sheba: Ugh. I am so going to have a rough night after this.

And she headed on out with the Vermdemics. Over with Lucky, he was still doing his best trying to hide from Arachnobster. He looked over at a tree that was on the other side of the park. He did his best to tiptoe across the park. He looked to be sure that Arachnobster was not watching him.

Lucky: I just hope he doesn't think to turn his head in my direct-(Runs into somebody and then looks to see that it is Sheba)

Sheba: Going somewhere, Fang Green?

Lucky: (Backs away from Sheba and gets his hands ready) I might be scared of spiders, but I'm not afraid of cats. Naturally, cats should be scared of coyotes.

Sheba: Well, I'm not scared of coyotes, Fang Green! And neither are the Vermdemics!

The Vermdemics then showed up.

Lucky: Oh it is on!

He got out his football and threw it towards some of the Vermdemics, knocking them over. Then, he charged for a couple more and punched a couple of them with his fists.

Lucky: Take this, Vermdemics.

He punched out a couple more of them, but when he was done, Sheba then tried slicing her swords at him. But he dodged them each and every time.

Lucky: You think you can slice me up like that? That isn't very ladylike.

Sheba: (Continuing her slicing) Where I am from, this is how ladies act!

Lucky: Maybe on your planet, but on mine, that isn't the way a lady should fight!

He then got out his football and threw it at Sheba's stomach, pushing her back very far.

Sheba: Ugh!

Lucky: Personally, I wouldn't do something like that to any ladies, but you are an exception!

Just then, Arachnobster arrived in front of Sheba.

Sheba: AAAH!

Lucky: Oh, you're also scared of him?

Sheba: No way! I'm just surprised that he is here!

But Lucky could tell from Sheba's eyes that she was scared.

Sheba: And even if I was, he won't harm me as bad as he'll harm you! Arachnobster, you know what to do!

Arachnobster: Got it, ma'am!

And Arachnobster went towards Lucky. He then got his lobster claws ready. He opened his claw and tried to snap at Lucky. But Lucky then used his legs to kick the claws back.

Arachnobster: Whoa!

Sheba: I think you got a hang of this, Arachnobster. I'll leave it to you. (Gets up, throws Lucky's football from her stomach to the ground, then vanishes)

Arachnobster: These are some strong legs you have, Fang Green! But can your strong legs hand my mace! (He transforms his lobster claw into a mace and attempts to hit Lucky with it)

Lucky managed to avoid getting hit by the mace and then grabbed his football.

Lucky: I will say, I am still feeling a bit scared of you for being a spider, and part lobster, but the thing that scares me more than spiders, or lobsters, is failing my job as a Fangranger. And also letting my friends down!

He then tossed the football at Arachnobster's mace hand, which caused it to break into pieces.

Arachnobster: Ah! My mace hand! How dare you do that!

He then turned his other claw into his flame sword and charged toward Lucky again. Luckily, no pun intended by the way, but luckily, Lucky was close by to a pond. He ran to the pond and then stopped.

Lucky: Oh no. A pond. I got no place else to go to get away from that mobster, I mean lonster, I mean...

Arachnobster: You're so scared of me that you can't remember how to say lobster or monster right. Well, it won't matter in a few minutes for you.

As Arachnobster got closer, he prepared his flame sword. Just as he was about to strike at Lucky, Lucky then jumped into the pond and made a huge splash. The water splashed all over Arachnobster and it put out his flame sword's flame.

Arachnobster: My flame sword! It is all washed out.

Lucky: (Emerges from the water) Haha! I got you! And by the way, when I said lonster and mobster, that was intentional. I wanted to make you think I was too scared to say the right words. (Jumps out of the water and onto land) We'll settle this later, Arachnobster. Right now I have some friends who need help.

And Lucky hurried off. He soon returned to where the other Fangrangers were, trying to waddle in their spider webs. The kids were of course still laughing.

Corgi Boy: Oh, that's Fang Green!

Lucky: Yes. It is me. But you wouldn't like it if people laughed at you if you were in their situation.

Corgi Boy: We're all sorry, Mr. Fangranger.

Lucky: And now I am here to get them out.

He went over to Bernie, got out a coyote claw, and then claws the web open.

Bernie: Ah! I'm free!

Then Lucky got Denny freed. Then Becky, and then Ted.

Lucky: There you go.

Becky: Thank you so, much.

Ted: But what about the monster?

Lucky: I was able to get a handle on him for a while.

Bernie: All on your own?

Lucky: Yep. I was able to handle him on my own. I outsmarted him.

Denny: But did you defeat him?

Lucky: No. I was just able to hold him off until I could come and help you guys. He's in the park. So let's hurry.

Ted: Lead the way.

And Lucky led his friends to the park. Over in the park, Arachnobster was still moping over his mace hand and his flame weapon when Fangulee arrived.

Fangulee: I see that Fang Green got the better of you. But now is your chance to get the better of him! Bats, do your work!

The bats flew towards Arachnobster and used their eye beams to enlarge Arachnobster. The Fangrangers then arrived.

Denny: It looks like the monster has already been enlarged.

Lucky: Then we'll need to bring in the big boys.

Bernie: And girls.

Lucky: Right.

The Nature Fang Beasts arrived and the Fangrangers got on board.

Lucky: Combine, NatureFangOh.

NatureFangOh was then formed and confronted Arachnobster. Arachnobster got his lobster claws all ready and began to pinch them at NatureFangOh. The Rabbit Scissors got the better of the claws. It got one claw and managed to hit Arachnobster in the face.

Arachnobster: (Gets it) Oww! (Gets it) Oww! (Gets it) Oww!

Then, Arachnobster fired some webbing out from his abdomen and it wrapped around NatureFangOh!

Arachnobster: Hahaha! I got you now!

But then, NatureFangOh used the Rabbit Scissors to cut itself free from the webs.

Arachnobster: What? How did you do that?

NatureFangOh just snipped its Rabbit Scissors at Arachnobster. Then grabbed Arachnobster's abdomen, then flung him over.

Ted: Now to finish this guy off. Nature Fang Sword.

NatureFangOh: (The Nature Fang Sword appears in hand)

Fangrangers: Nature Fang Sword Strike!

NatureFangOh: (Slashes its sword at Arachnobster)

Arachnobster: AAAH! I would have rather stayed an ordinary spider! (Falls and explodes)

Lucky: We've done it, guys.

Denny: And you conquered your fear, Lucky.

Becky: Yeah. The way you handled this monster by yourself.

Lucky: Yeah. Wait, you weren't there!

Bernie: Does it matter?

Lucky: I guess not. But we still gotta find my dad's trophy. He'll be home pretty soon.

Later on, the Fangrangers were at Lucky's house still searching for the trophy in some boxes.

Denny: I hope that we find your dad's trophy super quickly, Lucky.

Bernie: Fighting that lobster monster was quite time-consuming.

Becky: Spider lobster monster.

Bernie: I know. It is just more fun to say lobster monster since these two words almost rhyme.

Then, Lucky opened up a box and found the trophy.

Lucky: Ah. Here it is. (Pulls out the football trophy)

The Fangrangers were surprised.

Ted: Wait, a silver trophy?

Denny: Are you telling us that we were looking for a second-place trophy this entire time?

Lucky: Oh. Did I not tell you guys that. Yeah. This is a second-place trophy, but Dad was always proud to have this. Do you know why?

Bernie: Why, Lucky?

Lucky: Well, before he got this, the best prize he ever got was third place. So he was relieved to finally get an award that was better than that.

Ted: Oh. I'm happy for your dad.

Lucky: I do feel good about finding his trophy for him, and for facing my fears today. But I feel bad that I broke my dad's beer bottle collection.

Becky: That might have actually been Decepto since he did use that spider you found earlier to create that monster.

Lucky: Yeah, but if I told my dad that, we'd be revealing our identities. That or he'd think I was just making up an excuse to not get into trouble. So, I'm going to face my fears again and tell my dad about the broken glass.

Ted: Good for you, Lucky.

So Lucky did tell his dad about the broken glass. His dad wasn't happy about that, but he did tell Lucky that it was probably an accident. And he was happy to have his trophy found. Lucky certainly is one brave coyote.

To be continued...
