Blinded By Paraxis (Transcript)

This is the eighteenth episode of Justice Squadron: Comicger

It was another day at Petropolis High School. Paul was at his locker putting away some VR visors he just made when William came up to him while coming back from football practice to see what he was doing.\*

William: Yo, Paul? Whatcha got there?

Paul: Oh, these are some new virtual reality visors I've made to help us improve our combat skills over the Paraxis. They have a special program that creates virtual Paraxis in the area, and we can practice our sparring skills on the virtual copies. It's pretty ingenious. ^^

William: (picking up a VR visor, and admiring it) Sweet! But, hey! Wasn't there a show about virtual reality that came out in the 90s as well? What was it called? VR Rangers, or something?

Paul: I think you mean "VR Troopers," dude. But, yeah, it's basically the same principal. ^^

William: Oh.

Paul: Well, let's try 'em on. ^^

\*They then try on their VR visors, but as they did so, they didn't realize that Grunemitt was hiding in the broom closet waiting for the opportune moment to strike.\*

Grunemitt: So, they think they have the advantage over my soldiers, huh? Well, once I make some modifications to their little VR visors, they'll definitely mistake friend for foe! (points at the VR visors, and zaps a special spell at them) No doubt that Darkanos will be pleased with this outcome.  (buzzes back to Darkanos' fortress)

William: (starts feeling funny because of the spell) Hey, dude! You feelin' a funny sensation around your eyes?

Paul: (feeling the spell too) Yeah, a little bit. Must be static from the visors. I'll try to get that fixed.

\*Grunemitt then returns to Darkanos' fortress, where he tells Darkanos about the spell he put on the VR visors that would allow William and Paul to see the other Comicgers as Paraxis.\*

Darkanos: So, this spell you cast on the Comicgers' VR visors will make them see their friends as the enemy, huh? Very ingenious, Grunemitt. ^^

Grunemitt: (in thought) "It's about time he recognized my genius!" (bows to Darkanos) Why thank you, sire! I'm sure a plan of such brilliance deserves some kind of reward, does it not?

Darkanos: Why, yes. It does. (signals a few Paraxis to give him toilet cleaning supplies) You should've attacked the school as soon as you put the spell on the Comicgers' visors! Now, go and clean up the bathrooms! And, mine better smell pine fresh!

Grunemitt: (disappointed) Not the kind of reward I was expecting.  (grudgingly storms off to clean the toilets)

Blaludon: Uh, couldn't the boys just take off the visors to break the spell over them?

Darkanos: No, Blaludon! Even IF they remove the visors, they'll still be under the influence of Grunemitt's spell! But, just in case they start to catch onto the spell, I'll send a monster down to dispose of them personally. INFAFRE!!!!

Infafre: (coming into the throne room from the dungeon) Yes, master?

Darkanos: Just in case the Comicgers start to catch onto the spell that Grunemitt cast on them, prepare a monster that could do them in.

Infafre: Right away, master! In fact, I know the perfect monster for the job! (goes back down to the dungeon to fetch the monster)

Darkanos: Now, let's watch as the spell starts to take affect.  (activating a magic TV screen to see the spell starting to take affect on William and Paul)

Paul: (flicking the sides of his head) Man, that felt pretty weird.

William: (massaging his temple)

David: (approaching his locker) Hey, guys! What's goin' on?

Paul: Hey, David. I just feel a little... (sees David, but all he see in his place was a Paraxi)

David: You okay, Paul?

William: (seeing David as a Paraxi, as well)

\*Then, Monica, Katie, and Steve arrive, but all Paul and William could see in their place are Paraxis.\*

Katie: C'mon, guys! The history test is today! Mr. Waterhorn's starting to get worried.

Monica: Yeah, especially with the lack of donuts in the teachers' lounge.

Steve: Real funny, Monica.

Paul + William: (in a state of shock) PARAXIS!!!!! (quickly getting into fighting stances)

David: Paraxis? (looks around for any Paraxis) I don't see any Paraxis.

Steve: (looking around as well) Me neither.

Monica: (looking around too) Yeah, what gives?

Darkanos: (watching this on the screen, and laughing his butt off) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!  Perfect!

Paul: (getting a bit antsy) I don't know how you creeps got in here, but you're going down!

Katie: Uh, Paul! I think you've been hanging out in the I.T. room too much. 'Cause I don't see any Paraxis!

Monica: Me neither!

David: (seeing Principal Kensington) Oh, hi Principal Kensington. ^^

William: LOOK OUT, PRINCIPAL KENSINGTON!!!

\*Then, Paul and William tackle Principal Kensington, thinking they were saving her from the Paraxis. Principal Kensington eventually got mad at Paul and William, and grabbed both of them by the collars of their shirts.\*

Principal Kensington: I'm surprised at you boys! Mr. Keiko, you may be the running back on the football team, but that's no excuse to practice tackling in the halls! And, you, Mr. Bison! I thought you were smart enough to not tackle your principal! I'm afraid I have no choice but give you boys detention.

Paul + William: What'd we do?!?

Principal Kensington: This way, please!

\*She then takes them to her office to give them detention.\*

Steve: What was THAT all about?

Katie:

\*Later, at Mr. Waterhorn's history class, Gerald and Harold approach the classroom holding a tape recorder in hopes of figuring out who the Comicgers really are.\*

Gerald: (holding up his phone) Okay, Harold, during the Comicgers' last monster battle, I was able to record their voices on my phone. So, I've had you use that tape recorder to record the voices of everyone in school, and we'll match 'em up with the recordings of the Comicgers' voices, and then... BINGO! We'll have discovered the Comicgers' true identities!

Harold: I guess that would explain why Mrs. Ungerman's Chihuahua bit me in the rear end when we came to her classroom? (turns around to show Gerald's Mrs. Ungerman's Chihuahua still latching onto his butt)

Gerald: I wonder why she even brought her pet to school in the first place?  Oh, never mind! Let's just get to class!

\*After Harold removes the Chihuahua from his butt, he and Gerald immediately got to class where the history test was about to begin. Paul and William have just returned from Principal Kensington's office, but were still feeling strange from the spell.\*

David: (sitting in front of William) Hey, relax dude! You'll be fine. ^^

William: (still seeing a Paraxi in David's place)

Mr. Waterhorn: Now, I don't want any talking during this test, okay? (gives Katie the tests for her to hand out) Katie, could you help me hand out the tests?

Katie: Sure thing, Mr. Waterhorn. ^^ (takes the tests, and starts handing them out)

\*As she got to William's desk, all he could see in her place was a Paraxi. Mr. Waterhorn notices that William's looking a bit confused.\*

Mr. Waterhorn: William, is there something wrong?

William: (hesitant) Uh...

Katie: You feeling okay, Will?

William: Uh, no Mr. Waterhorn. Nothing's wrong.

Mr. Waterhorn: Do you need to see the nurse, or something?

William: Uh, no sir. I think I'll be fine.

Mr. Waterhorn: Okay, then. Now, you have all class to complete this test. But, I don't want to hear another word come out of your mouths.

Harold: (recording Mr. Waterhorn's voice on the tape recorder)

Mr. Waterhorn's voice: "...another word come out of your mouths."

Harold: (realizing he's in trouble) Uh-oh!

\*Later, in detention, Paul was taking a closer look at the VR visors that he and William wore to figure out what's wrong.\*

William: I don't get it, Paul. I don't think we're supposed to replace our friends with Paraxis.

Paul: I dunno. It almost feels like someone messed with them somehow.

William: Well, I think Darkanos might have something to do with this.

Paul: Y'know, it might be the case. I think I might have to give these a scan back at the studio once we get outta detention.

William: Good idea.

Principal Kensington: (coming into the detention room to let them go) Alright, boys! You're free to go. I hope you realize the utter stupidity of what you did today.

Paul: Oh, believe me, Principal Kensington, we definitely realized. And, for that, we're VERY sorry.

Principal Kensington: Good. I'll see you both tomorrow.

Paul: (packing up his VR visors, and leaving the room with William)

\*Meanwhile, Paul and William were walking through the park trying to piece together what's going on.\*

Paul: So, if Darkanos had something to do with altering the VR visors, it's highly likely that he wanted us to see our friends as Paraxis, probably as a means of tearing us apart.

William: I guess that's it, then.

\*Then, a couple of Paraxis (the real ones, FYI) appear in front of the two boys to their astonishment.\*

William: (confused) So, if what you're saying is true, then these things might be our friends?

Paul: (just as confused) Possibly.

William: (waving at a Paraxi) Hey, how's it going?

Paraxi: (looking at his fellow Paraxi with confusion, and blasts at William with his laser spear)

William: (flying back a bit, and landing on his butt) They're NOT our friends! They would never intentionally blast us!

Paul: You got THAT right! And, THIS time, we won't get in trouble for it! (holds up his Comic Turner)

William: (holding up his)

Paul + William: Comic Turners, activate! (the Comic Turners convert to their original form) Comic Powers! Turn On! (flicking the on switch on them, and morphing into their Ranger forms)

William: C'mon, Paul! Let's do it!

\*Then, Paul and William start fighting the Paraxis. Then, the other Comicgers showed up to help them out.\*

David: Hey, guys! We came as soon as we saw those bug-brains buzz in here!

Paul: (elbowing a Paraxi out of his way, and seeing the others, only to see Paraxis) OH, NO!!! THERE'S MORE OF THEM!!! (attacking them)

Steve: (surprised) WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!? (blocks Paul's attack)

William: (seeing Monica as a Paraxi, and charges at her) GET BACK, YOU GUYS!!! (grabs Monica's shoulders, and flips her over him)

Monica: (landing on her back) Hey, Moby Dick! I'm on YOUR side, remember?

William: (realizing it was Monica) Oh, Monica?!? I'm so sorry!

Paul: (absent-mindedly roundhouse kicks Katie in the face)

Katie: Hey, don't hit me! Hit THEM!!! (pointing at the Paraxis heading towards them)

Paul: Wha...??? (sees the real Paraxis, and flips backwards to avoid them)

\*Throughout most of the fight, the Comicgers were busy fighting the Paraxis, with Paul and William confused as to who's who. Once the real Paraxis have been dematerialized, Paul and William de-morph to see that they accidentally hurt their friends as well.\*

Paul: Oh, man. I'm sorry, guys.

Steve: What the heck has gotten into you boys? Ever since you put on those visor things, you've been acting weird!

William: Uh, guys! I think Darkanos may have sabotaged Paul's VR visors to make us think we're seeing you as the Paraxis.

Paul: We were heading back to the studio to scan the visors to see what he did to them when we got ambushed by those creeps!

David: Well, let's all head back there, and see what's going on.

\*Then, the Comicgers immediately went back to the studio to try and figure out how to fix this mess. Unknown to them, Grunemitt was watching them in a nearby tree knowing that Paul and William are starting to catch onto their plan.\*

Grunemitt: Curses! They're starting to catch on! We need to act fast! (buzzes back to the fortress to warn Darkanos)

\*Back at the fortress, Infafre has returned from the dungeon with a new monster to use against the Comicgers. It was a black monster that was completely wrapped in rope with a leather belt strapped around his chest, cement shoes on his feet, and a burlap sack with two torn eye holes covering his head tied shut with a noose, along with two lariats attached to his forearms. He was Noose Cast, and his ropes were coated with a sticky adhesive making it hard to get them off. He approaches Darkanos, and bows to him.\*

Darkanos: Hmmm?

Noose Cast: Master, my name is Noose Cast. With my ropes, I can capture those Comicgers for you very easily!

Infafre: I guess you can say, master, he'd like to "hang out" with the Comicgers.  Get it? Because he's basically a living hangman's noose?

Darkanos: (sarcastically) You're a regular Jerry Seinfeld, Infafre. Don't quick your day job.

\*Then, Grunemitt buzzes right in, and informs Darkanos on what he saw.\*

Grunemitt: Sire! The Comicgers are starting to catch onto our plan! We have to send the monster down right now if we're to stop them!

Darkanos: Where were they heading?

Grunemitt: They're just making their way back to their studio right now to figure out what's going on.

Darkanos: Fascinating. This could be a good chance to prove yourself, Noose Cast. Once you have the Comicgers trapped in your ropes, bring them back to me, and I'll dispose of their powers greatly!

Noose Cast: Oh, thank you, master! You WON'T be disappointed!

Darkanos: Oh, and Grunemitt, since it was YOUR spell that got them into this mess, you'd better go with Noose Cast, and oversee the operation.

Grunemitt: As you wish, sire.

Darkanos: Now, go!

Grunemitt + Noose Cast: (disappearing to fight the Comicgers)

\*Meanwhile, back at the studio, Stanley was working on his next comic when the Comicgers showed up with the VR visors, hoping to take a closer look at them.\*

Katie: So, guys. Do we still look like Paraxis to you?

William: (still seeing them as Paraxis) Yup.

Paul: Uh-huh.

Steve: I was afraid of this.

Stanley: (getting up from his desk, and walking towards them) What do you mean "look like Paraxis"?

Paul: Mr. C, something went crazy with my new VR visors. For some reason, Will and I are seeing the other Comicgers as Paraxis.

Monica: Yeah, when the REAL Paraxis showed up, they even mistook us for them!

David: Naturally, we think that Darkanos might be behind this. I think he might be trying to get us to fight one another.

Stanley: I think you might be right. Here, let me scan those visors!

\*Paul and William give the visors to Stanley, and he puts them in the scanner. He scans them for a few minutes, but eventually finds some of Grunemitt's magic within them.\*

Stanley: You were right, son! It appears that Grunemitt has put some kind of spell on their visors to make them think YOU'RE the Paraxis.

David: I knew it!

Steve: I wonder why Grunemitt of all people would do that.

Stanley: Like my son said, Steve. Darkanos probably wanted them to destroy their own teammates.

Steve: Could be.

Katie: Is there any way to break the spell over this?

Stanley: Well, I'm not sure. I'll run another scan to see what we can do to break this spell. (starts running another scan on the visors)

Paul: Aw, man. This has been one really screwed up day. We're really sorry, guys.

Steve: Hey, don't worry about it. If I wore those visors, and I was under that spell, I would've mistaken you for Paraxis, too.

William: I know. I wish I never agreed to put on those visors in the first place.

Paul: Hey, I never planned to have Grunemitt put a spell on them to begin with.

William: (realizing Paul's point) True.

Stanley: (finishing the scan) Okay! The scan's complete! In order to break the spell over Paul and William, we'd have to dunk them in lye.

Monica: Lye? Isn't that the stuff they use to soak sturgeon for a couple days to make lutefisk, a Norwegian dish?

Steve: Yup. And, I heard it's very toxic, too. This one time while I was with the Growling Wildcats, we fought this poison-themed supervillain, and she used various poison as weaponry. One of them being lye.

William: Uh, you got a Plan B, Mr. Chippendale?

Stanley: Well, we can also try reversing the VR polarities on the visors. That should cancel out the spell permanently.

David: Personally, I like that plan better.

Katie: Yeah, 'cause lye is pretty pricey nowadays.

Stanley: Fair enough. ^^

Paul: (taking the visors out of the scanner) I can take them back to my garage, and Will and I can get to work reversing the polarity.

William: Yeah. We got us into this mess. So, it's only fitting that we get us out of it. ^^

Stanley: Good idea, Paul. In the meantime, you kids better stay here, and try to monitor any activity that Darkanos' forces might start to cause. You never know where or when they could strike next.

David: Good idea, Dad.

Monica: I dunno. My parents might get a bit worried about me being gone for TOO long.

Katie: Yeah, same here.

Stanley: Well, okay. You girls can head home. But, if we need you, we'll call.

Katie: Okay, then!

\*Then, at Paul's garage, Paul and William were working on reversing the polarity of their VR visors in hopes of breaking Grunemitt's spell. At first, it felt like they weren't getting anywhere.\*

Paul: No, dude! Try putting the blue wire in the socket where the yellow wire usually goes! If you put the white wire in there, it'll make EVERYONE a Paraxi!

William: Sorry.  Not used to all this technological stuff.

Paul: Well, once you get it down, it'll become like second nature to ya. ^^

\*Just then, Steve pulls up at the garage on his ATV to see how they're doing, and to show them a trick to make it easier for them to tell them apart from the real Paraxis.\*

Steve: Hey, guys! How's it coming along?

Paul: We're getting there, Steve! However, William has little to no experience in the techno world, so we're trudging along slowly!

William: Hey! >: (

Steve: Oh, boy.  Well, anyway, David, Mr. Chippendale, and I have been talking, and we've thought of an easy way for you two to tell us apart from the REAL Paraxis.

William: Okay, cool. Let's see it.

Steve: Okay! Here goes! (holds up his Liberty Turner) Liberty Powers! Turn On! (pushes the button, and morphs into his Ranger form) Well?

William: (seeing Comic Liberty instead of a Paraxi) Okay, NOW you look like Comic Liberty to me! ^^

Paul: (seeing it as well) Same!

Steve: (contacting Stanley) Mr. Chippendale, it worked! As long as we're morphed, it'll make no difference!

Stanley: "Excellent work, Steve! That's one less thing we gotta worry about." ^^

Paul:

\*Back at the studio, David and Stanley were checking the tracking system to see if Darkanos has sent any monsters down to the city, and before they knew it, they found some activity right by the beach.\*

David: Hey, Dad! I think we got something at the beach!

Stanley: Let me see! (goes over to the tracking system, and finds Grunemitt and Noose Cast on Petropolis Beach over by some jetties) Oh, boy! Grunemitt's back! And, he's brought a new friend to the beach!

David: (recognizing Noose Cast) Hey, it's Noose Cast! From Comicgers Issue #47!

Stanley: (seeing Noose Cast as well) Oh, yes! We'd better contact the others, and tell them what's going on!

David: Say no more, Dad! I'll call Katie and Monica, and tell them to meet me at the beach!

Stanley: Good idea! (continues contacting Steve) Hold on there, Steve! We got a big problem here!

\*Back at Paul's garage, Paul and William were continuing to work on reversing the VR visor's polarity while Steve got word from Stanley that Noose Cast is at the beach.\*

Steve: What's going on, Mr. Chippendale?

Stanley: "Grunemitt's at the beach, and he's brought Noose Cast along for the ride!"

Steve: Noose Cast?

Paul: (getting what Stanley said) He's a monster that specializes in uses strong ropes coated with a special adhesive so his enemies can't escape from them.

Stanley: "Right! So, I need you kids to stop what you're doing, and get right down to the beach post haste!"

William: But, Mr. C. Paul and I are still trying to reverse the polarities of the VR visors. We still need time!

Paul: (remembering that he was working on something else) Hey, Mr. Chippendale! I've been working on something that might help us defeat Noose Cast, but it's not finished yet. I'll stay behind and finish working on that, as well finish up on the VR visors. And, I'll meet you guys once I finish up.

William: Good idea, Paul!

Stanley: "Agreed. William, you go with Steve, and head down to the beach! David and the others could use your help!"

William: On my way, Mr. Chippendale! (cuts the feed) Will you be okay by yourself, Paul?

Paul: Yes, I will! Just go!

William: Okay! (holds up his Comic Turner) Comic Turner, activate! (the Comic Turner converts to its original form) Comic Powers! Turn On! (flicks the on switch on his Comic Turner, and morphs into his Ranger form)

\*Back at the studio, David just finished talking with Katie and Monica.\*

David: I just got off with Katie and Monica! They'll be at the beach soon!

Stanley: Great, son! Now, get going!

David: Right! (holds up his Comic Turner) Comic Turner, activate! (the Comic Turner converts to its original form) Comic Powers! Turn On! (flicks the on switch on his Comic Turner, and morphs into his Ranger form)

\*Then, David quickly gets on his Sketch Cycle, and rides off to the beach. When he arrived, he notices Grunemitt and Noose Cast waiting for him, and Monica and Katie quickly arrive when they got his message.\*

David: I see you girls got my message!

Katie: We sure did! Now, let's cut the rope off this guy!

Grunemitt: (seeing the Comicgers coming at him) Ah, here come those multicolored twerps now!

Noose Cast: So nice of you kicks to come and hang out with us!

Monica: The only hangin' out YOU'LL be doing is back in the comics where you belong!

David + Katie: Yeah!

Noose Cast: Awwww, that's too bad. I guess I'll have to send you all to the gallows!

Grunemitt: Yes! Time to meet your maker, you twerps!

\*Grunemitt and Noose Cast start charging at David, Monica, and Katie, and they started fighting. While David draws his Sketch Blade, and clashes blades with Grunemitt, Katie and Monica deal with Noose Cast. They shoot their Art Lasers at him, but his ropes were able to block the attacks, and he throws his lariats at them, trapping them.\*

Monica: ACH!!! He trapped me!

Katie: (trying to break free, but couldn't) Augh! No matter how much I struggle, I can't break free!

Noose Cast: HA! My ropes are made of a special adhesive that makes it impossible for my victims to break free from! In other words, you girls aren't goin' anywhere!

Katie + Monica: HELP!!!!!

David: (seeing the girls in trouble, and breaks off with Grunemitt to go rescue the girls) Hang on, girls! I'm comin'! (leaps up with his Sketch Blade to cut the rope, but it bounces off of it) Hey! I can't cut the rope!

Monica: We tried that with our Art Lasers, too! It didn't work!

Noose Cast: (breaking off the lariats, leaving the girls tied up) Well, I guess I'll have to give these girls a nice guy to go with them! (throws his lariat at David, tying him up)

David: Oh, darn! I'm tied up, too!

Grunemitt: (getting back up) Ha! Three down, three to go!

\*Just then, William and Steve show up on Steve's ATV, and pull up in front of the two bad guys.\*

William: (seeing the other Comicgers tied up) Hey, you knotty jerk! What'd you do to my friends?

Noose Cast: The same thing I'm gonna do to you, big boy! (throws his lariat at William, and it snags him, and ties him up)

William: (struggling to break free) Hey! I can't break free!

Steve: Oh, no! (activates his Holo-Shield, and charges at Noose Cast) You're gonna get it, pal!

Noose Cast: I don't think so! (throws his lariat at Steve, and it ties him up)

Steve: Oh, drat!

Grunemitt: Excellent job, Noose Cast! Now, we just need the green buffalo, and we'll have a complete set!

\*Back at Paul's garage, Paul was finishing up his device to defeat Noose Cast, and he starts to get a buzz on his Comic Turner.\*

Paul: (answering it) What's up, Mr. C?

Stanley: "Paul, I hope you've got that device ready, 'cause I just saw that the other Comicgers have been tied up by Noose Cast, and can't break out. We need you!"

Paul: No worries, Mr. C! I've just finished working on it! It should be good to go, now! I'll be right over, asap! (cuts the feed, and holds up his Comic Turner) Comic Turner, activate! (the Comic Turner converts to its original form) Comic Powers! Turn On! (flicks the on switch on his Comic Turner, and morphs into his Ranger form)

\*Then, Paul quickly arrives at the beach with the device, and sees everyone being tied up, and struggling to get out.\*

Noose Cast: Don't waste your time struggling, Rangers! The more you do that, the more it'll stick to you twerps!

Grunemitt: So, yeah! Resistance is completely pointless, you little ingrates!

David: (growling at Grunemitt) You haven't won yet, Grunemitt!

Grunemitt: I know! We just need your green pal to show up, and THEN we'll win!

Paul: (leaping behind them) Well, look no further, you dolts!

Noose Cast: (turning around to see Paul) Ah, just in time! Now, hold still so I can rope you! (throws his lariat at Paul)

Paul: Yeah, I don't think so! (pulls out his device, and shoots a blast of liquid nitrogen at the rope, causing it to shatter) There! Once liquid nitrogen hits that rope, it'll become brittle, and it'll break apart!

Noose Cast: WHAT?!? You cheeky little...

Grunemitt: GET HIM!!!! (charging at Paul with Noose Cast)

\*Then, Paul starts fighting Grunemitt and Noose Cast. Grunemitt swings one of his swords at Paul, but he blocks quickly with his Sketch Escrimas, and pushes him backwards. As Noose Cast shoots his other lariat at Paul, he just shoots his device at it again, causing to shatter like the last one.\*

Paul: Yeah! If you keep doing that, I'll just keep freezing your ropes! Now, it's time to say sayonara! (powers up his Sketch Escrimas) Sketch Escrimas! Power Up! (finishes powering them up) Final Strike! (shoots a blast of energy at Noose Cast, causing him to fly backwards, and landing on his butt)

Noose Cast: Oof!

Paul: (quickly going to the other Rangers, and using his device to break the others out of the ropes)

Comicgers: (breaking free once the ropes were frozen)

Monica: Man, frostbite never felt so good!

William: Thanks so much, Paul. ^^

Paul: Don't sweat it!

\*As Noose Cast gets back up, Grunemitt runs to his side, as Blaludon appears next to them.\*

Grunemitt: Ah, it's about time you showed up, Blaludon! Now, make Noose Cast grow so he can crush these brats! (starts buzzing back to the fortress)

Blaludon: Okay, okay. Mr. Bossy.  (blows one of her magic kisses at Noose Cast, causing him to grow)

Noose Cast: A-ha! Now, we're gonna need a bigger rope!

David: (seeing how big Noose Cast got) Oh, boy! That's a whole lotta rope! (contacts Stanley) Dad, send the Action Vehicles!

Steve: (contacting Stanley as well) And, send the Liberty Eagle Mech, too!

Stanley: Right away, you guys! (uses the gemstone on his pencil to bring the Action Vehicles and the Liberty Eagle Mech to life, and they made their way to the Comicgers)

David: Thanks, Dad! (cuts the feed) Let's go, guys!

\*The Comicgers immediately get into their Action Vehicles, and Steve gets into the Liberty Eagle Mech, and begin to log on.\*

David: Comic Racer, ready to go!

William: Comic Tumbler, all set!

Paul: Comic Armorer, online!

Monica: Comic Turbine, flyin' high!

Katie: Comic Mini, revvin' up!

Steve: Liberty Eagle Mech, soaring to great heights!

David: Alright, guys! Let's form Action Comic Robo!

\*Then, the Action Vehicles come together to form the Action Comic Robo.\*

Noose Cast: (whipping his new lariats) No way you'll be getting out of my ropes THIS time! (charges at the ACR with his ropes)

\*Noose Cast then throws his lariats at the ACR, and it snags both its arms, which causes the Comicgers to struggle to break free from its grasp.\*

Katie: Hey! He got us roped in!

Monica: We can't seem to break free from them!

David: Paul, what about that device? Did you bring it on board with you?

Paul: No, I didn't.

Steve: But, I did! (flies down in the Liberty Eagle Mech, and surprisingly had Paul's device attached to it) Now, how about some frostbite, Noose Cast?  (fires liquid nitrogen from the Eagle's mouth, causing the lariats to freeze, and break off)

Noose Cast: Oh, darn it!

David: Thanks a lot, Steve! Now, let's merge!

Steve: Right!

\*The Liberty Eagle Mech perches on the ACR's back, forming Action Liberty Robo.\*

William: I'm at the end of my rope with this monster!

Steve: Me too, William! Let's get him!

\*The ALR starts fighting Noose Cast. Noose Cast throws a left hook at the ALR, which it blocks, and retaliates by kicking him in the stomach. The ALR also elbows Noose Cast in the chest, which he retaliates by uppercutting it in the face. The ALR finally kicks Noose Cast in the chest, making him fall backwards.\*

Steve: Okay, guys! Let's send this one back to the comics!

David: You got it! (starts inputting the code for the sword)

\*Then, the Comic Sword materializes in the ALR's right hand as it starts flying high into the sky.\*

Comicgers: Action Liberty Robo! Arial Strike! FINAL ATTACK!!!

\*Then, the ALR flies down at Noose Cast as the Comic Sword flashes the colors of the Comicgers. It then slashes through Noose Cast, causing him to spatter electricity.\*

Noose Cast: Well, it's been nice hangin' with ya! (falls down and explodes, sending his spirit back to the comics)

\*Meanwhile, back at school, Principal Kensington was looking through a couple of Comicgers comics she just confiscated, and decides to read them.\*

Principal Kensington: Y'know, I've always confiscated these things for a while, but never really read through them. Hmmmmm. (picks up Issue #47, and starts reading through it)

\*Unknown to her, Noose Cast's spirit finds the issue and gets zapped back into it, giving Principal Kensington a bit of a shock.\*

Principal Kensington: Whoa! Now, I see why my students like these things! They're pretty shocking!  (continues reading)

\*Back at Darkanos' fortress, Darkanos punishes Grunemitt for his failure by making him wash the dishes after dinner.\*

Darkanos: Grunemitt! As punishment for your failure of a plan, you're going to be washing the dishes after dinner! (gives him a wash cloth, and a bottle of dish cleaner)

Grunemitt: Drat!

Blaludon: Oh, and by the way, we're having sloppy joes for dinner, tonight. Emphasis on the sloppy part.

Grunemitt: (angrily storms off out of the throne room, and to the kitchen) Well, we'll see who's laughing once I take command of the forces of Styx!

\*The next day, the Comicgers were back in Mr. Waterhorn's class, and Paul comes in with the VR visors, and he thinks he's reversed the polarities which will break the spell Grunemitt placed on them the day before.\*

Paul: Hey, guys! (takes out the VR visors) I was able to reverse the polarities on the visors, so they should be able to break the spell.

William: Great, Paul! Let's give 'em a whirl.

David: Fingers crossed, guys!

\*Then, Paul and William put the VR visors on, and the reversed polarity starts to diminish the spell's power. Within minutes, the spell goes away completely, and they start seeing the other Comicgers as themselves instead of Paraxis.\*

Steve: Well, did it work?

Paul: (taking off the visor, and rubbing his eyes) Yeah, it did! I can see you guys as your normal selves again!

Steve: Oh, that's great news, you guys!

William: Yeah! You guys aren't Paraxis anymore!

Monica: (feeling relieved) What a relief.  'Cause I was NOT prepared to get judo-flipped by either of you again!

William: I agree, Monica.

Monica:

\*Just then, Gerald and Harold come into the classroom because they believe they have a voice match for the Comicgers.\*

Gerald: (standing on top of Mr. Waterhorn's desk) Ladies and gentlemen! Harold and I have finally discovered the true identities of the Comicgers based on a match of their voices we recorded!

Mr. Waterhorn: (getting agitated) Boys, I'm about to teach a class here! Is there any way we can do this afterwards?

Gerald: No way, Mr. Waterhorn! We're ready to show the entire class right now! (turns to the class) Okay! Here's a recording I took on my phone of the Comicgers' during their previous monster battle! (plays a recording of the Comicgers' voices on his phone)

David: (shocked) Uh-oh! It looks like Gerald's about to expose us to the whole class! We're done for!

Monica: Don't worry, guys! I got it covered.

Gerald: Harold! The tape recorder!

Harold: (giving Gerald the tape recorder)

Gerald: Now, feast your ears on the TRUE voices of the Comicgers! (hits play on the tape recorder, and instead of playing the Comicgers' voices, it starts playing "What Is Love" by Haddaway: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuDEP6… )

Students: (laughing at this screw-up)

Gerald: What the...? (looks into the player, and sees a mix tape in its place) Some low-down, despicable crook swaps the tapes!!!

Harold: I told you to put labels on these things, Gerald.

Mr. Waterhorn: (feeling very cross with them) Way to go, boys! You've just wasted about 2 minutes of our lives with your ridiculous endeavor. And, now everyone in this room is stupider thanks to you. (massages his eyebrows) I'll see you both in detention. Again.

Gerald: (sheepishly walks to his seat with Harold)

Katie: (regaining composure after laughing) So, what did you do, Monica?

Monica: (holding up the actual tape containing their voices) During lunch, I secretly swapped out the tape with our voices, and slipped in one of my mix tapes in its place.  They didn't even notice the difference.

Steve: Excellent work, Monica. (takes the tape from Monica's hand) After school, I'll take it back to the studio, and I'll have it destroyed.

David: Good. Once again, our secret is safe. ^^

William: Yeah, and maybe those two will learn not to stick their noses in other people's business.

Katie: However, I think the odds of THAT happening are VERY slim.

Monica: Agreed.

\*The Comicgers then laughed it off, and got on with their day.\*

THE END
