A Dragon's Tale (Transcript)

This is the 1st episode of Dragon Squadron: Draconighter.

(We see a young female dragon child with light silver scales going up to an older dragon with golden scales)

Young Dragon Girl: Hey father, can you tell me about the demons that once tried to take the power from our village again?

Older Dragon Man: Again? Platia, you've heard this story a million times.

Platia: I know, but I find it to be a fascinating story.

Older Dragon Man: Alright. If you insist. Well...

And then, the old dragon man began telling his story.

Older Dragon Man's Narration: A long time ago, millions of years ago, dragons lived at peace with other species on the planet. They were happy just like every other race, that is until one day, a monstrous figure arrived with her army of demons.

(A shadowy figure with red eyes showed up with many demon henchmen alongside her)

Older Dragon Man's Narration: They saw dragons as being very powerful beings, so they sought to take that power for themselves. The dragons did their best to fight back along with protecting their fellow races. That was when your great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather, created the powers needed to stop these monsters. The Draconight Swords! With them, the demon was driven away, but she vowed to return one day.

Female Demon: I will return! Your village will fall and I will become the most powerful being in the whole world!

Older Dragon Man's Narration: In order to protect the Dragon Village for as long as it took to finally defeat the demon wanting power, the Draconight Swords had made various trees grow all around the village. Any other race was told that they had to leave and never speak of this village to anyone ever again. Until the day came that the village would finally be at peace.

(Cuts back to the scene of Platia listening as her dad finishes the story)

Platia: Today, I saw these five swords placed in stone in the center of the village. I had always wondered about them. Are they the Draconight Swords, Father?

Older Dragon Man: They are indeed, dear. Five swords are to be wielded by five new heroes. Heroes who will fight to put a stop to the demon or anyone who followed her orders.

Platia: I tried pulling out those swords today, but I wasn't able to do it. I first tried pulling the red one, then the blue one, and then the yellow one. Since I couldn't pull any of them out, I didn't bother with the green or violet ones.

Older Dragon Man: You wouldn't be able to pull any of them out, Platia. In order for someone to pull them out, they would have to be from outside the village and be worthy of using the swords.

Platia: I know that. But who would be able to find the village? I have never seen what things are like outside the forest. I often tried to go into the woods to find the outside of the forest surrounding the village, only to find my way back here.

Older Dragon Man: Your great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather had made it so that any dragons who attempted to leave the village would just end up back at the village. There is a secret passage that would allow us to leave the village, but you are not old enough to know about where that secret passage is yet.

Platia: I hope one day when this evil is defeated, I'll be able to explore the world and see what it is like outside this village.

Older Dragon Man: And maybe one day, you shall.

(Cuts to a city with a title card that says "20 years later")

Now here we are in the city where our heroes are living at. First, we see an iguana family. This is the Iguan family. On this day, their daughter, Amanda Iguan, was getting ready to go to the woods.

Amanda: I sure hope I can find something fascinating about these woods.

Mr. Iguan: What is so fascinating about these woods you talk about anyway?

Amanda: Well, I think there might be a secret in these woods. A secret that could make anyone who found it famous.

Mrs. Iguan: Famous, eh? Like maybe a hidden temple?

Mr. Iguan: Or some buried treasure?

Amanda: I dunno. But I'm going to check it out and see. I'll see you later.

And Amanda left the house. She walked to the outside of the woods where she came across a stallion and a bison looking into the woods. The stallion is Monty, and the bison is his buddy, Harry.

Amanda: What are you boys, doing?

Monty: We're looking to see if there is anything fascinating within these woods.

Harry: Yeah. We hope to find something to make us famous.

Amanda: You are, huh? Mind if I join you?

Monty: Uh, sure.

Amanda: I'm Amanda, by the way. (Holds out her hand to Monty)

Monty: Good to meet you, Amanda. (Shakes her hand) I'm Monty, and this is my friend, Harry.

Amanda: Good to meet you, Monty. (Shakes hands with Harry) Good to meet you, too, Harry.

Harry: It is good to meet you, Amanda. (Shakes her hand)

Unknown to them, a pair of evil eyes were peaking out from behind a rock.

Amanda: Have you guys been to these woods before?

Monty: A few times. We would always come here in the hopes of finding anything.

Harry: But we always end up back outside the woods after finding nothing.

Monty: How about you, Amanda?

Amanda: I have never been here myself. This is my first time going to these woods. Maybe I could help you find something.

Harry: Then maybe the three of us can be famous together?

Amanda: I suppose that would be alright.

Monty: Alright. Into the woods, we go.

And three of them walked into the woods. When they had, the being with evil red eyes emerged from behind the rocks. This being was a knight in dark red armor.

Dark Red Knight: (Female voice) At last! Someone is heading into these woods! Ever since I arrived here five years ago, I haven't been able to find that village my mother wanted me to find. But now, I shall surely find it. Mother, your dying wish is about to come true.

And the dark red knight followed Monty, Amanda, and Harry. The three of them had traveled a while into the woods.

Amanda: Well, do you boys see anything of interest?

Harry: Not yet. It looks just like the many times we've gone in here before.

Monty: I will bet that pretty soon we'll end up right back where we started.

Amanda: Well, maybe if we go in a direction you normally don't go in, we might find something new and exciting.

Harry: That's not a bad idea.

Amanda: So, do you normally go to the left here?

Monty: Yeah. Then we're back at the entrance.

Amanda: How about to the right?

Harry: Yeah. Entrance.

Amanda: Maybe forwards?

Monty & Harry: Entrance!

Amanda: Hmmm. Then how about between forwards and left?

Monty & Harry: Forwards and left?

Amanda: Yes! Between forwards and left. Diagonal. Diagonally between forwards and left.

Harry: Monty, have we ever tried that before?

Monty: I don't think so, Harry. Let's try that.

And so the three of them went between left and straight. Then, the knight showed up where they were.

Knight: Between straight and left? I think I'll try that out, too.

And that was just what she did. The three friends traveled for a while, but they were able to see light at the end of the woods.

Monty: Well, figures. I bet we're on the other side of the park.

Harry: Looks like another trip into these woods all for not.

Amanda: Maybe not, boys.

And Amanda walked to the end of the woods. Monty and Harry followed after. Soon, Amanda made it to the end of the woods.

Amanda: O\_O

The boys then came out after her.

Monty: Well, just as I thought. We're back at the ent-wait a minute.

Harry: Are they?

Amanda: I think they are.

What they had found was the Dragon Village and a number of dragons going about in the village.

Monty: Are those dragons?

Harry: I thought dragons were just mythical.

Amanda: I did as well. This will make a great story.

They took a tour of the village. They could not believe their eyes.

Harry: Do you think they are friendly?

Monty: I don't know. I hope so.

Amanda: They don't look dangerous to me. In fact, they look friendly.

Monty: What if they are deceiving their looks?

Amanda: How many dragons have you met before, Monty?

Monty: Well, none. But you haven't seen any before either, have you?

Amanda: Not in real life, no. But you shouldn't listen to old stories like that.

At that moment, Platia was walking in the village when she saw the three of them.

Platia: (Gasps) I don't believe it! Visitors from outside! I sure hope they are friendly, though!

She hurried over to the three of them.

Platia: Hello, visitors! Welcome to the Dragon Village!

Harry: Hey, this one can talk!

Platia: Sure we can all talk! Just like you! I've never seen...Um, what are you?

Monty: My name is Monty, and I am a horse.

Harry: I'm Harry, and I'm a bison.

Amanda: And I'm Amanda, I'm an iguana.

Platia: A horse, bison, and iguana? I've never seen any of you here before. How did you find the village?

Monty: Well, Harry and I came to the outside of the woods just as we usually do, but before we went in today, Amanda showed up and guided us through in a way we never had before.

Harry: We always end up back at the entrance of the woods.

Monty: It's impressive Amanda just knew which way to go.

Amanda: Oh. I didn't really know which way to go. I just made a lucky guess.

Monty: So, when was the last time this village had visitors, um...

Platia: Platia. I am Platia.

Monty: Alright, Platia. When was the last time any visitors came to this village?

Platia: Well, it was a long time ago. In fact, no dragon in this village today has ever seen any outsiders. Until I've seen you just now.

Harry: So, centuries?

Platia: Well, I wouldn't say centuries, but a long long time ago, yes.

Then, Monty noticed the swords placed in stone.

Monty: What are these?

Platia: Oh. Those are the Draconight Swords. They are what helped to defeat a demon who invaded this village a long time ago.

Knight's Voice: But can they protect you now?

Platia: Who said that?

Then, the dark red knight jumped from on top of a house and landed in front of the four of them.

Platia: (GASPS) Who...what are you?

Knight: The name's Rusairus! More specifically, Demon Knightress Rusairus! (Draws out her sword) I've been trying to get into this village for five years! And now I am finally here!

Platia: Five years?

Knight: Yes! I've traveled from a long way away to fulfill a wish my mother, the demon who invaded this village years ago wanted.

Monty: Well, you won't be getting it!

He then rushed over to the swords and pulled out the red one. When Platia saw this, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Platia: He pulled out one of the swords!

Monty then noticed his body was glowing in a red color.

Monty: What is happening to me?

Then, like magic, Monty was in a red spandex suit with a dragon-shaped helmet! The dragons in the village saw this and were amazed.

Male Purple Dragon: Did you see that?

Female Yellow Dragon: He just transformed into one of our saviors!

Amanda: Oh my goodness!

Harry: What just happened?

Platia: He just became Draconight Red! One of the heroes destined to defeat the demons wanting to harm this village!

Amanda: Could we also be destined to become one of these heroes?

Harry: I'm going to give it a try.

Harry rushed over to the stones and pulled out the yellow one, then he transformed into Draconight Yellow! Amazing the dragons in the village, too.

Harry: Hey, it worked! I'm...what exactly are we?

Platia: A Draconightger! Amanda, pull one sword out, too.

Amanda: I am not too sure about this.

Platia: You must! Go!

Amanda: (Breathes) Alright!

Amanda rushed over and pulled out the blue sword and she transformed into Draconight Blue!

Amanda: Oh wow! I don't believe this!

Rusairus: What? This village has spandex-wearing heroes, too? Whiknights, rise!

Then, some white-colored knights appeared and they charged for the Draconightgers! The Draconightgers began fighting against the Whiknights! When the Rusai-Knights appeared, the dragons rushed for their houses fearing for their lives by the knights. Of course, Platia was too fascinated by the Draconightgers to run away.

Monty: A bunch of white knights? Are you crazy? (Fighting against some of them)

Harry: Black knights would make better sense! (Fights against some)

Amanda: Yeah. Aren't white knights supposed to be good? (Fights against some)

Rusairus: Hey, I come up with the color of my knights, not you! Color does not matter to me!

Then, Rusairus saw the Green and Violet swords in the stone.

Rusairus: Those last two swords are mine!

She charged towards them, but then, the stone began shaking a bit, leaving Rusairus confused.

Rusairus: What? Is that stone moving?

Then, the stone launched up out of the air. The Draconightgers saw this, as did Platia.

Platia: What happened?

Then, she saw her father.

Dragon Elder: Do not worry, Platia. I've set the Green and Violet swords somewhere safe. Somebody will find them and become Draconight Green and Draconight Violet.

Rusairus: What difference will it make when two more Draco-whatever you call your heroes, are recruited?

She then charged for the elder.

Platia: (Gasps) FATHER!

Monty saw this and rushed in front of him, blocking Rusairus' attack.

Monty: You leave this poor old dragon man alone. (Fights back at Rusairus)

Platia: Phew!

Dragon Elder: Platia, come over here!

Platia rushed to her father as he got out a map from his cloak and handed it to her.

Dragon Elder: Use this secret entrance to leave the village and guide the Draconightgers to defeat this demon.

Platia: But what about you, father?

Dragon Elder: I'm going to place a stone spell on the village. Once the evil has been defeated, you can undo the stone spell.

Platia: Stone spell?

Dragon Elder: It is the only way to protect the village. Now go.

Platia: But...

Dragon Elder: Go!

He then got out a stone and tossed it to the ground, he then turned into stone, as did the rest of the village. Platia hurried to the Draconighters.

Platia: Draconightgers, we must hurry! Follow me!

Amanda: Hurry? To where?

Platia: I'll explain later! We gotta get out of the village before it turns to stone.

The Draconightgers saw the village turn to stone slowly, as did Rusairus.

Rusairus: We're retreating for now! Come along Whiknights!

And then the bad guys vanished. Platia lead the Draconighters to the location on the map, which was a trap door. Platia opened the door.

Platia: In here! Quickly! (Goes in through)

Monty jumped into the trap door, followed by Harry. Amanda looked back as she watched the remains of the village turn to stone.

Monty: Amanda!

Amanda: Coming! (Jumps into the trap door)

The trap door then closed and turned to stone as well. It was dark in the trap door.

Monty: So, now where to?

Then, some light came on with Platia using her fire breath to light the way. She signaled the Draconighters to follow her.

Harry: It looks like Platia knows where to go. Let's follow her.

They followed Platia in the tunnel. Very soon, they came out of a cave somewhere in the park. Platia then put out the fire in her mouth.

Platia: I feel so bad leaving my people in the state they are in now. But at least the stone spell wasn't caused by the bad guys.

Amanda: Did your father say that you can undo the stone spell?

Platia: Yes he did, but only after we've defeated Ru-whatever she calls herself.

Monty: I think it was Rusairus, Platia.

Platia: Right. Rusairus. Anyway, I had never thought that the prophecy about the Draconightgers would come to pass in my lifetime.

She then took a look at the park.

Platia: So this is what the outside world is like? So many different species.

The Draconightgers demorphed from their ranger forms, and left on their hands were some sort of transformation devices, then a key in the shape of their ranger forms appeared in their right hands. They looked at the keys.

Monty: What are these exactly?

Platia: Those are the Draco-keys! They will allow you to transform into the Draconightgers. You were transformed automatically upon pulling your swords from the stone.

Amanda: But, where are the swords now?

Platia: They are safe within the keys. When you transform, you'll have the swords ready. It'll be good to protect them from our enemies.

Amanda: Oh man. This will make such an amazing story. I can't wait to tell my parents about what just happened.

Harry: Yeah! Me, too!

Platia: You can't do that!

Harry: Excuse me?

Platia: Nobody can know that you are Draconightgers!

Monty: Uh, why not?

Platia: Not many people have seen dragons in this world for a very long time. At least, I don't know of anyone who ever has seen one. But things can get pretty bad if any of you are found out. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble because of me.

Monty: Fair enough, Platia. But now we need a place for you to stay until we can get that village of yours back the way it was before.

Harry: Right.

Amanda: Well, if you want, you can come to stay with me.

Harry: Or with me.

Monty: Or with me. Whichever you pick.

Platia: Well, I think you all should take turns hosting me. But you cannot let your families know I am there. I hate to imagine what they would do to me if they found out about me. Not to mention what they could do to you for keeping a dragon secret in your house. Or any species for that matter.

Amanda: I guess my parents wouldn't be too happy if they found out I was keeping a dragon in my room.

Platia: Amanda, since you volunteered first, I will let you be the first to keep me safe.

Amanda: Sure thing, Platia.

Platia: Protecting me is just your first task. The second is to find the last two Draconightgers, and then to fight against whatever evil forces this Ru-knight, whatever her name is, sends after us.

Monty: Rusairus.

Platia: It may take me time to memorize her name, guys. So be patient with me on that.

Harry: I'm sure that the last two Draco-swords landed somewhere safe from harm.

Platia: My father, who the rest of the village knows as Elder Golmo, didn't send the Draco-swords away to protect them from Ru-what's her name, he did it to protect them from getting turned to stone with the rest of the village.

Monty: But wouldn't Rusairus be able to pull them out? We were able to pull them out very easily.

Platia: You were able to pull them out because you were chosen. I could never pull any of them out. I did so a few times when I was younger and was never able to do it.

Harry: Sounds fair enough.

Amanda: Now we gotta figure out how to get you into my house without my family seeing you.

Platia: Well, I could fly in through your window.

Monty: Hold on, you can actually fly?

Platia: Yes. Why do you ask?

Monty: Because you totally could have flown out of your village.

Platia: Well, the thing is, because of how far the forest surrounding the village is, I'd get too tired to fly all the way out. I'd have to land in the woods. Then when I walk through the woods, I always end up back in the village.

Amanda: You can stay in the cave until nightfall, then I'll come out here and get you. Sound like a plan?

Platia: Sounds good to me.

Platia went into the cave while the Draconightgers had all gone home.

Platia: I just hope I'll be safe here until Amanda comes back to get me. I wonder where that Rusair...Ryusoul...no, that's not it. Rusair...Rusairus! That's it! Rusairus! I got it right! I wonder where that Rusairus had gone and what she is planning next?

Meanwhile, in a dark red castle somewhere, Rusairus and the Whiknights had just teleported into the castle. There waiting for them was a blue robot in brown overalls and a mirror with a face on the wall waiting.

Robot: Ah, Mistress Rusairus, it seems as though Vector's prediction came true. You did find the Dragon Village.

Rusairus: Yes, but I also found these heroes called the Draconightgers! You didn't tell me that, Vector.

Vector: My apologies, mistress.

Rusairus: It's a wonder my mother could put up with you after all these years. I'm surprised she never destroyed you!

Vector: ...

Rusairus: Tinker Tonker, how is the monster-creating machine coming along?

Tinker Tonker: It is coming along just fine, Mistress. In fact, it's just about ready.

Rusairus: Good. That darn Dragon Elder turned the village into stone before I could proceed to take it out. Only his daughter escaped the village.

Vector: The Draconightgers you saw today were just three of five. There are two others out there.

Rusairus: I could tell from the stone that there were five! Three was hard enough for me! That is why I depend on a monster to fight against them for me!

Tinker Tonker: Well, with this machine, I can make a monster as powerful as I can.

Rusairus: That is good, Tinker Tonker. Just don't make me regret building you!

Tinker Tonker: I won't, Mistress!

Rusairus: I hope not! My brothers and sisters all went out into a fight and because of that, they got defeated! But only "I" was smart enough not to go out there without a proper plan. If anyone is to carry out the wish my mother made before her death, it is me!

Vector: (To himself) I got a bad feeling about this!

When Amanda had gotten home, her family asked her if she had found anything.

Mrs. Iguan: So Amanda, did you find any interesting things today?

Amanda: Well, no. Nothing out of the ordinary, Mom. I did make some new friends today.

Mr. Iguan: Really? Who?

Amanda: A stallion named Monty and a bison named Harry. We went for a walk in the woods to see if we could find anything of interest.

Mr. and Mrs. Iguan: Yes?

Amanda: We found nothing.

Mr. Iguan: I'm sorry to hear that, Amanda.

Amanda: That's alright. But at least I made some friends today. Perhaps we'll all find something worthwhile one day.

Mrs. Iguan: We wish you the best of luck on that, Amanda.

Amanda: Thanks, Mom.

Amanda then went up to her room. When night fell, and everyone else was fast asleep, Amanda snuck out of her room and went over to the park.

Amanda: Gee, I've never been to the park after nightfall before. I bet nobody has.

She went over to the cave where Platia was left at. Platia was waiting for Amanda for a long time.

Platia: Ah, there you are, Amanda. I was worried you had forgotten me.

Amanda: Sorry it took so long, Platia. I just had to make sure my parents were fast asleep before I snuck out here for you.

Platia and Amanda quietly made their way back to Amanda's house.

Amanda: Here is my house.

Platia: Wow. That is a nice house you have, Amanda. Much better than the houses in the Dragon Village.

Amanda: Hold on while I get the window opened.

Amanda went inside, and once she was in her room, she opened the window.

Amanda: Come on it.

Platia flapped her wings as quietly as she could and flew through the window into Amanda's room.

Platia: Alright. Now, where will I sleep?

Amanda: I got a place for you to sleep in the closet.

Platia: A closet? There aren't any monsters in there, are there?

Amanda: Monsters? I don't think there are any monsters in the closet. And if there are, I think they would rather make you laugh than make you scream.

Platia: I am only joking, Amanda. I know there are no monsters in your closet.

Amanda: Oh good.

Amanda opened her closet door and Platia went in and got onto the cot that Amanda had been keeping in there.

Amanda: You think you'll be comfy in there, Platia?

Platia: Oh, I'll be just fine.

She got onto the cot and went asleep.

Amanda: Good night, Platia.

Platia said nothing as she was already asleep. Amanda closed the closet door, then went off to her own bed.

Amanda: A Draconightger. I didn't think I'd become that when I woke up this morning. And two new friends. Well, three technically, but I can't let Mom and Dad know about Platia. I wonder who Draconight Green and Violet are going to be? I just hope they turn out to be good friends, just like Monty and Harry were.

And Amanda then fell fast to sleep.

(The scene then transitions to where the stone with the Green and Violet Draco Swords were, they were in the backyard of a squirrel family with two teenagers living there, a brother and a sister)

To be continued...
