Don't Be So Emotional (Transcript)

This is the 16th episode of Sneaky Squadron: Stealthranger.

The Kitinger family had been staying with the Greytail family for a few days after Tracy had first fought against the Yokai as Stealth Shine. She did pretty well in her first fight. In the workshop, a new bed was being constructed for Tracy to sleep in when she traveled with the Stealthrangers across the states. One night after dinner, Oliver figured that it was time to tell the story of how he got his prosthetic arm.

Oliver: So, Tracy, is it alright to tell the Kitingers about what happened with my arm?

Tracy: It just brings back so many (Bursts into tears) painful memories!

Katie: Now Tracy...

Tracy: (Sighs) Alright. When I was five, Dad had an accident.

Oliver: I was mowing the lawn one day and...

Stan: Mowed your arm off?

Oliver: No.

(Flashback begins)

Oliver VO: The lawnmower actually went out of control, pulling me right through a barbed wired fence. My arm was caught up in the fence and it hurt.

Katie VO: When Tracy saw what had happened, she couldn't believe what she saw her dad going through.

FB Oliver: Uh, a little help here?

FB Tracy: Daddy! What's happened to you?

Katie VO: I quickly called for help. It took a while to undo all the barbed wiring. But after that, Oliver had to go to the hospital.

(Cuts to later in time)

Tracy VO: Daddy had to go to the hospital quite a lot since then. But one time, he didn't go there for a whole month, which was the longest time he had been away from the hospital since he had to first go there. But one day, at the end of the month, I saw Mommy and Daddy heading out in a hurry.

FB Tracy: Mommy, Daddy, where are you heading to in such a hurry?

FB Katie: Your daddy has to go to the hospital again.

FB Tracy: Again? But he hasn't been there for a whole month! I thought he was all better?

FB Oliver: Not quite, sweetheart. Ow! My arm needs to be x-rayed today. We're going to make the decision on what we...ow...should do!

(Cuts to later on with Katie coming home to Tracy)

Katie VO: I remember how Tracy reacted the day I told her the troubling news.

FB Tracy: Mommy, how is Daddy doing? Will he be alright?

FB Katie: He'll be alright, Katie. But there's something that they're going to be doing to your dad's arm. And, I am not sure if you can handle it.

FB Tracy: What is it, Mommy? I-I can take it!

FB Katie: Tracy, the doctor said that...your dad's arm has to be...amputated!

FB Tracy: Ambutooted? Ambunition?

FB Katie: Amputated!

FB Tracy: What's Amutition?

FB Katie: Amputation means that your dad's arm is getting surgically removed. He won't have two arms anymore.

FB Tracy: Wh-what? But why?

FB Katie: Well, the doctor couldn't do anything to fix his arm. His arm got hurt beyond getting better. And unless his arm is removed, he'll be in pain like that for the rest of his life.

FB Tracy: But won't he be in pain for the reason of his life with his arm getting taken off?

FB Katie: Not for all of his life. It'll hurt a little bit at first. But the pain then goes away. The good news is that they're going to be making a prosthetic arm for him.

FB Tracy: What's prosthetic arm?

FB Katie: It means a robotic arm.

FB Tracy: So Daddy's going to be a robot?

FB Katie: Not exactly.

(Cuts back to the present)

Oliver: Then I got home a few days later with the prosthetic arm, and Tracy wasn't sure how to react at first.

Tracy: But then I found Daddy's new arm to be pretty cool. Even if it wasn't the same as it used to be.

Stan: Was it difficult to adjust to the prosthetic arm, Oliver?

Oliver: It took a while to get used to, but after a while, it felt normal.

Lewis: Well that was good.

Katie: Right. Now how are we doing with that second bunk bed?

Lewis: It's coming along just fine.

Tracy: This will be so exciting! We can play games in the camper, telling stories, and other fun stuff! Yeeee!

Stan: Oh boy.....

Lucy: Still not too keen on having Tracy travel with us, Stan?

Stan: Do you have to ask me again, Mom?

Tracy: I really wish you would just like me a bit more. Just because I'm a girl, and very energetic, doesn't mean I'm not as good of a friend as a boy would be.

Stan: Quick question, if there are going to be two sets of bunk beds in our room, who is going to be sleeping under or over Tracy?

Lewis: You'll be sleeping under Tracy.

Stan: Under Tracy? Oh man. (Face palms)

Marvin: We whoever would have bunk beds with Tracy?

Judd: Marvin and I share ours! You're the only one left.

Stan: Why do I have to be the one having bunk beds with this...girl? Can't one of us switch, brothers?

Judd: No can do, bro.

Marvin: We twins stick together.

Stan: Yeah, but you're close in age together. Your age difference is only by a few minutes. Tracy is much younger than me.

Tracy: Only by one month, Stan!

Stan: (Sighs)

A few days later, the new bunk beds were finished and were set up in the brothers' room. Stan did have to admit that the new bunk beds did look great. Seeing the room with two sets instead of one, but he still wasn't happy about sleeping under Tracy. Tracy on the other hand was very excited about her new bed.

Tracy: Oh boy! This is quite exciting! (Zips up to her bed on the top) Hehe! :D

Outside, Lewis, Lucy, Oliver, and Katie were saying their goodbyes.

Katie: Do take care of our Tracy for us.

Lucy: No worries, Katie.

Lewis: She'll be in good hands.

Oliver: We trust you, Kitingers.

Up in the Kitinger brothers' bedroom, the three brothers looked out the window to see their and Tracy's parents talking.

Judd: Hey Tracy, do you think you want to say goodbye to your mom and dad before we set off?

Tracy: Oh. Right.

She then zipped from her bed and outside.

Stan: Well, I feel sort of better at the moment.

Marvin: Why is that, Stan?

Stan: Because Tracy is now gone.

Judd: But she's coming back, Stan. She just went to say goodbye to her parents.

Stan: Don't remind me.

Then, Tracy zipped back into the room and back on her bed.

Tracy: I'm back!

Stan: Good feelings gone.

Then, the camper began to move. Oliver and Katie waved until the camper was out of sight. Back in the camper, Tracy was a bit curious on where they were going.

Tracy: So, Mr. and Mrs. Kitlinger, what place are we going to now?

Lucy: We're heading to Atlanta, Georgia.

Lewis: We're going to be taking a tour of a museum.

Tracy: What sort of museum?

Stan: A really boring one!

Tracy just laughed when Stan had said that. But Stan didn't find it amusing.

Lucy: Now Stan, that's no way to answer a guests' question. Especially a girl guest.

Stan: Sorry, Mom.

Lewis: Care to tell her what the museum actually is about?

Judd: It's actually about ancient cultures.

Lewis: I asked Stan to answer that.

Judd: Hey, I find it to be as boring as he does!

Tracy: What about you, Marvin? Do you think it's boring?

Marvin: Not at all. :)

Lewis: That's a good boy, Marvin.

Marvin: Thanks, Dad.

Marvin knew that his dad thought he was only saying that it wasn't boring to be nice to Tracy, but Marvin's answer was actually serious. The Kitinger family were soon in Atlanta, Georgia.

Lewis: Here we are, family.

Lucy: The museum awaits us.

Marvin & Tracy: Yay!

Stan & Judd: (Both have grouchy faces)

The Kitingers and Tracy soon began taking a tour of the museum of ancient cultures, and they have entered the Polynesian section of it. Stan and Judd were feeling a bit bored, but Marvin and Tracy were really into it. Stan: Ugh.... this tour is really boring. Judd: Yeah. After fighting Yokai, this tour here feels like a REAL snoozefest. Lewis: Boy, don't be so rude. It's important to learn about other cultures outside the United States. We might learn something new about them. Marvin: Yeah. Besides, I find this stuff rather fascinating. ^^ Stan: (Shrugging it off) If you insist.

Tracy: So Stan and Judd aren't that into museums?

Marvin: Not history museums. They were hoping to go to the History of Cats Museum in California.

Tracy: They were?

Marvin: You can guess why.

Tracy: Oh yeah.

Tour Guide: And, this right here is a collection of Polynesian masks. No one knows for certain why these masks were used, but some sources claim that they were used to scare away evil spirits.

Lucy: That's very interesting.

Tracy: (Raising her hand) Hold on a second. So, you're saying that these masks can scare away evil spirits? (Pointing at the scary-looking carvings on the masks) Looking like this? How does that work exactly?

Stan: Probably not to scare away any real spirits. Just some imaginary spirits someone blames when things don't go his way.

Lewis: Well, probably not.

Tour Guide: Well, no one's sure why they believe that, but other sources claim it's to protect the wearer from dark magic.

Marvin: Intriguing.

Tracy: Imagine if we used that against the Yokai.

Judd: Doubt it.

Lucy: Well, you never know, Judd.

Tour Guide: (Leading the tour to another part of the Polynesian exhibit) Oh, and here's a neat little Maori display I'm sure you'll find very interesting.

Meanwhile, at the Yokai Mansion, Black Horn, S.A.R.A, Misfortune, Luanna, and Slugbora were all pacing around wondering what they were going to do now that the Stealthrangers have added a new member to their team.

Black Horn: Our situation has become problematic now. We have another Stealthranger to worry about, so we need to find a way to increase our chances against them. Any suggestions?

Luanna: Well, I can impersonate Stealth Pink after we kidnap her at a party, and I can infiltrate their camper for information.

Slugbora: Nah, I doubt that will work.

Luanna: Okay. It was just something I heard somewhere, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

Slugbora: Maybe we can add some powers to those masks.

Madame Misfortune: How would we ever do that?

Slugbora: I... don't know.

S.A.R.A: Maybe we can incapacitate the Stealthrangers one by one. That way, their team dynamic would suffer.

Black Horn: Hmmmmmm. I think I like S.A.R.A's idea the best. And, I think we can use Yokai Ninmenju to do the job.

Black Horn then summoned a tree-like monster from the flames to assist them. He was wearing a blue golf shirt and holding a smartphone in one of his hands. He also had seven emojis on his branches representing a different emotion.

Treemoji: (Looking at his phone) Oh, darn it! I only got 47 likes on my latest post. I gotta update my profile. (Fiddles around on his phone)

Slugbora: (Raising an eyebrow) Is that it, huh?

Black Horn: Well, don't let his lazy exterior fool you. He has a nasty trick up his sleeve. Show him, Treemoji.

Treemoji: Sure thing, Mr. Black Horn, sir. (Aims his phone at Misfortune and Luanna, and shoots two crying emojis at them)

The emojis caused Misfortune to cry uncontrollable, and Luanna to be indifferent to what's going on.

Black Horn: You see, Slugbora. Each one of Treemoji's seven heads makes his victims feel the emotion they represent: steaming mad, really sad, overly happy, flirty, really cheeky, laughing uncontrollably, or just indifferent to everything.

Luanna Bunny: Hmmm. I think this will be hilarious. Hehehe!

Misfortune: WAAAAAAH!!!! I just wanted this plan to work!

Then, the Yokai Leader's voice is heard.

Yokai Leader: What's going on in here?

S.A.R.A: Nothing, master! Our newest soldier was just demonstrating his ability to us!

Yokai Leader: What is that ability?

Black Horn: He can shoot one of seven emojis from his phone to make his victims feel one of seven emotions that the ones on his branches represent. He can make them steaming mad, overly happy, laugh uncontrollably, cry a lot, flirtatious, very cheeky, or just indifferent to everything.

Slugbora: Yeah. (Shows him Luanna and Misfortune) He demonstrated it on Luanna and Misfortune.

Yokai Leader: Hmmmm. I think I like that idea. Send him out to get the Stealthrangers!

Black Horn: Right away, sir! Treemoji, go!

Treemoji: Whatever you say. (Disappears)

Back with the Stealthrangers, they have entered the hall of American history as part of the museum tour.

Tour Guide: And, here is a diorama recreating the infamous duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr that took place in Weehawken, New Jersey.

Stan: Hamilton? Didn't they make a musical about that guy?

Marvin: Yes, I believe they did.

Tracy: I quite like it.

Lewis: I'm glad somebody here does.

Stan: (mad)

Tour Guide: And, over here, folks, you'll see a copy of the Federalist Papers, recreated and restored.

Then, Stan's communicator goes off.

Stan: Oh, finally. Something exciting. (answers his communicator) What's going on, Gamma?

Gamma: Sorry for interrupting your trip to the museum, Master Stanley, but I've detected some kind of tree Yokai in downtown Atlanta shooting emojis at people.

Stan: (Confused) Huh?

Gamma: Well, you'll see what I mean when you get there. Sending you the coordinates. (Gives Stan the coordinates)

Stan: Got it! (Turns off the communicator) Guys, we have big trouble. There's a tree downtown with a bunch of emojis.

Others: Huh?

Stan: There's trouble at these coordinates (Shows them the coordinates)

Lucy: Oh dear. Then we better go!

Lewis: Well, let's get moving. This tour can wait.

They all vanished ninja-style, and head to the downtown area of Atlanta, where Treemoji is shooting his emojis at the people.

Marvin: I don't like the look of this place.

Judd: Yeah, but we gotta job to do.

Lewis: (Approaching someone who was already hit by one of Treemoji's emojis) Pardon me, sir. Can you tell us what's going on?

Male Panda: (Steaming mad) GET OFF ME, YOU IDIOT!!! WHAT ARE YOU, MR. NICE GUY, OR SOMETHING?!?!?

Lewis: Sorry, I was just asking a question.

Male Ocelot: (Approaching Tracy in a flirtatious manner) Heya, pretty lady. You come here often?

Tracy: (Feeling uncomfortable) Uh... I don't even know you, dude. (Steps back slowly)

Lucy: (Seeing a Male duck who has a big smile on his face) What's gotten you so happy, sir?

Male Duck: Happy? My grandmother passed away. This is the most tragic moment in my life.

Lucy: (Confused) What the...?

Stan: Well, we seem to be on the right track.

Lewis: Then let's keep following these....weirdos.

Tracy: Weirdo is right. That guy was way too old for me.

Marvin: He's not that old!

Tracy: He is for a girl my age.

Stan: (Sighs)

They walked along the downtown area finding a lot of people who had fallen victim to Treemoji. They eventually found him zapping a female wolf with a cheeky emoji, causing her to say some corny one-liners.

Female Wolf: Well, looks like I gotta make like a banana, and split. (Walks off)

Treemoji: There's another one. (Checks his phone) This is REALLY gonna look good on my blog. ^^

Lewis: The show's over!

Lucy: We're taking you down!

Treemoji: Ah, the Stealthrangers! Just the group I've been expecting.

Stan: If you mean the group you expected to defeat you, then we agree.

All: Super Change Stealth Changer! (Transforms into their Stealthranger forms)

Treemoji: Oh, not cool. I'd better call my followers for help. (Summons a few Yokai Troopers to help him) Take care of these trolls while I continue my emotional mission. (Walks off)

The Yokai Troopers charged for the Stealthrangers.

Tracy: These bozos again?

Lewis: I'm afraid so.

Tracy: Funny, last time we fought some ninja bunnies. Also, aren't these guys from Kaku-

Stan: No time to explain! Let's beat them!

Marvin: But, don't worry. They're VERY easy to deal with.

Tracy: If I could outsmart the bunny ninjas before, I can do it again towards these freaks!

Lewis: Well, there's no time like the present to do so. So, let's do it!

Just like before, Tracy zipped away. Leaving the Yokai Troopers surprised.

Yokai Trooper #1: Hey! Where'd he go? Yokai Trooper #2: I don't know!

Tracy then showed up and knocked them all out.

Tracy: Got you again! And it's "Where'd SHE go", not "Where'd he go."

Judd: Oh wow. I see that your suit still fools somebody. By the way, you gotta teach me that trick, sometime!

Tracy: What, about wearing a suit that disguises your actual gender? I think your suit's color is enough for that.

Judd: Not that! I mean how you zipped so fast towards these guys.

Tracy: Oh. Sure I can teach you that. I'd be happy to.

Stan: Do you think we should pursue that tree? Lewis: Absolutely. And, let's hope he's rooted himself somewhere. Lucy: Dear, your sense of humor is more wooden than the monster himself.

Lewis: Sorry.

Tracy: Your dad has more humor than mine does.

Stan: We know.

Lewis: Regardless, let's go!

They begin to pursue Treemoji, and they found him in a pharmacy parking lot, shooting his emojis at everyone leaving it.

Marvin: There he is! (Draws his sword) I'll trim his branches!

Marvin then leapt forward to confront Treemoji.

Treemoji: Oh, ready to be emotional, little boy blue?

Marvin: Not me! I'm not going to be so blue like that!

Treemoji: You're right. But, after this, I'm sure we'll have a good laugh about it! (Fires a laughing emoji at Marvin, knocking him backwards)

Marvin: (De-morphing, and begins to laugh uncontrollably) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I can't stop laughing!!!! XD

Judd: Oh no! Marvin! (Turns to Treemoji) How dare you do that to my twin brother! (Charges for Treemoji)

Lewis: Judd, wait!

Treemoji: (Firing a crying emoji at Judd, causing him to go flying backwards)

Judd: (De-morphing, and starts crying) WAAAAAAAAH!!!! HE HURT ME!!!!

Treemoji: Two down! Who's next?

Lucy: You jerk! Look what you've done to my son! :fight:

Treemoji: Guess that answers my question. (Tries to shoot another emoji at Lucy, but sees that his phone is running low on battery power) Drat! My phone battery's running low! I gotta go recharge my phone. But, when I get back, you all be emotionally scarred as well. (Disappears to recharge his phone)

Lucy: Oh dear. We have until that Yokai gets back to find a way to change Judd and Marvin back to normal.

Lewis: We'll have to ask Gamma. He might have the answer.

They quickly returned to the camper, where they found Gamma watching TV.

Gamma: (Hearing Marvin and Judd laughing and crying) Uh-oh. I take it you didn't deal with the Yokai, huh?

Stan: Nope.

Lewis: He got both Judd and Marvin.

Gamma: (Looking at them) Oh, dear. I see what you mean. Well, I'm sure I can find something about the Yokai you're facing in my databanks. (Begins searching through his databanks)

Tracy: How long does it usually take him to find this information?

Lewis: A couple of seconds, give or take a minute.

Gamma: (Finding something) A-ha! Here's something about this Yokai called Ninmenju. They're trees that have faces on their branches like fruit, FYI. According to this, in order to break the spell on Master Marvin and Master Judd, we'll have to deflect the emojis back at him.

Lucy: Is that it?

Gamma: There's more. And, if you don't want to end up like the others, you'll have to wear special face coverings since Treemoji aims for the face in order for his spell to work.

Tracy: But, our helmets already cover our faces.

Gamma: Your helmets aren't strong enough. You'll need something more powerful.

Lewis: I hate to say it, Tracy, but he's right.

Stan: (Quickly remembers something) I think I know EXACTLY what we can use!

Others: What is it?

Stan: I can't believe I have to say it, oh do I, but we need to go back to the museum!

Lewis: Alright, then. Let's go.

They then went back to the museum, and arrived back in the Polynesian section. They approached the tour guide, and they asked her about the masks they saw earlier.

Stan: 'Cuse us, ma'am. But, do you think we can borrow those Polynesian masks from that display over there?

Tour Guide: Uh, I suppose you could. Just as long as you don't break any of them.

Stan: We won't.

They took the masks off the display stands.

Tour Guide: I sure hope you know what you're doing.

Lewis: No worries. We do. We'll be back with them pretty soon.

And they hurried out with the masks.

Lucy: Does anyone see Treemoji anywhere?

Tracy: I see trees, but none with emojis.

Gamma: (Contacting them) Everyone, I've just detected Treemoji! He just finished charging his phone, and is attacking in the park.

Lewis: We're on our way, Gamma! Let's go! Treemoji is in the park!

Stan: Then, that's where we're headin'!

They make their way to the park where Treemoji was back to shooting emojis at various citizens, making them feel his emotions.

Treemoji: This is incredible! With my phone fully charged, I feel like I could do this all day!

Then, the Stealthrangers show up with their backs turned on Treemoji.

Treemoji: Ah, Stealthrangers. Now, I've got you where I want you!

The Stealthrangers quickly turn around to show him that they're wearing the masks to protect themselves.

Tracy: Wanna bet?

Treemoji: Masks? Well no matter!

He fires four emojis at the Stealthrangers, but they seem to bounce off of the masks,and go flying back at him. Treemoji was then sent flying backwards, causing him to drop his phone, and it broke when it hit the ground.

Stan: Huh. Whaddaya know? These masks really do protect the wearer from evil spirits. ^^

Tracy: And I had my doubts.

Just then, all over Atlanta, everyone who was hit by Treemoji's emojis reverted back to normal, including Marvin and Judd.

Marvin: (Stops laughing, and takes a few breaths) Wow. That took a lot outta me.

Judd: (Drying the last of his tears) I know! I haven't cried this much since Bambi's mom died.

Marvin: Where are the others?

Gamma: They're at the park battling Treemoji. You'd better hurry if you want to help them.

Marvin: Will do, Gamma.

Both: Super Change Stealth Changer! (Transforms into Stealth Blue and Yellow).

Marvin: C'mon!

They made their way to the park, where the Stealthrangers proceeded to battle with Treemoji.

Lucy: (Noticing that he's getting weaker) Hey! Without his phone, he feels weaker.

Marvin: Guys, we're here!

Stan: Glad to have you back, bros!

Judd: Glad to be back. Mind if Marvin and I play lumberjack with Treemoji for a bit?

Lewis: Go right ahead.

Marvin: Thanks. ^^

Marvin and Judd draw their swords, and started slicing away at Treemoji.

Treemoji: (Pushing them back) Okay, now it's time to REALLY update my status! (Lightning then strikes him, and he grows giant) Ready to get blocked for good, Stealthrangers?

Core Stealthrangers: Stealth Shogun Fighters! (Transforms into the Stealth Shogun Fighters)

Tracy: Stealth Ninja Fox!

The Stealth Ninja Fox arrived with Tracy getting on board.

Tracy: Ninja Fox Warrior!

(The Stealth Ninja Fox transformed into the Ninja Fox Warrior)

Treemoji: (Getting a new phone) Ah, two robots in one! Let's see how you like this! (Fires some emojis at the two Robos)

Tracy: Ninja Fox Sword Slash!

Ninja Fox Warrior: (Slashes the emojis in half)

Treemoji: Oh, now you've made me very mad! (Charges at both Robos)

Stan: Stealth Shogun Sword!

(The sword appeared in the Grand Stealth Shogun's hand)

All Stealthrangers: Stealth Shogun Strike! (Slashes at Treemoji)

Treemoji: Uh-oh!

The Grand Stealth Shogun strikes at Treemoji, causing him to spatter electricity.

Treemoji: Oh, darn it! Now, I'm REALLY emotional about this! (Falls down and explodes)

Stan: Alright! That's all over with! Now to return the masks back to the museum.

They did just that, and after putting the masks back on the displays, they went to join back up with the tour. (When they rejoin the tour, they are demorphed)

Stan: I guess there really was something to those masks, weren't there?

Marvin: Yeah.

Tracy: It looks like those masks were very powerful after all.

Judd: Yeah. We just kinda took 'em for granted, didn't we?

Lucy: So they aren't very boring now, are they?

Stan: No they aren't, Mom.

Lewis: So, with that said, shall we continue with the tour?

Others: Yeah.

They eventually join back up with the rest of the tour, which has just entered the Asian history section.

Tour Guide: Now, we've entered the Hall of Asian History. And, have a look at these amazing ninja weapons.

Stan: Oh yeah! Ninja weapons! Now we're talking!

Judd: Finally! They're speaking my language!

Marvin: Mine, too!

Tracy: Just goes to show you that history isn't boring.

Lewis: My words precisely.

Tour Guide: Now, come over here, and you'll see something very interesting.

They continued to go through the Hall of Asian History marveling at all the Japanese artifacts.

To Be Continued...
