No Place for the Trash? (Transcript)

This is the 35th episode of Sneaky Squadron: Stealthranger.

One morning, the Stealthrangers were having breakfast in the camper. They were nearly finished with their food.

Marvin: That was such a good breakfast.

Judd: I think it is the best one we've had for a long time.

Stan: Yeah. It isn't often we get to have bacon.

Tracy: You don't have bacon very often?

Stan: Somehow, Mom and Dad haven't been able to find any that have decent tastes.

Tracy: Well, it was pretty good anyway.

Lewis looked at the trash to see how it was. When he looked, he saw that the can was about full.

Lewis: Well, the trash is about full. It is time to take it out.

Lucy: Let us see who's turn it is this time.

Lucy looked at the trash taking-out chart. On the chart, the names were listed in the order of Lewis, Lucy, Marvin, Judd, and Stan.

Lucy: Stan, you aren't going to be happy about this, but...

Stan: (Sighs) I have to trash out again?

Tracy: You don't like to take out the trash?

Stan: Well, duh. It is so smelly.

Lucy handed Stan the can as he made a disgusted look on his face. He just closed his eyes and faced away from the can. Then he made his way outside the camper. After he left, Tracy wondered about something.

Tracy: Uh, why doesn't Gamma take the trash out?

Gamma 4: Really? I'm not a robot slave. I'm an assistant.

Tracy: But you can't smell the trash like we all can.

Lewis: Gamma isn't built for trash duties, Tracy. It is our job to take the trash out.

Tracy: So you take turns taking the trash out?

Lucy: Yes so it is fair for everyone.

Tracy: When was the last time Stan took the trash out?

Lewis: I think it was back in March.

Tracy: Hmmm. Maybe I should take the trash out next time.

Lewis: That's a good idea, Tracy. Although it could be a couple of months before the trash is filled up again.

Tracy: Well, however long it takes, I'll take it out next time.

Outside, Stan made his way to the local dumpster. But this one was very tall. So tall that it would be difficult to get the trash in.

Stan: Oh come on!

He lifted the can over his head to try and dump the trash in.

Stan: Alright. Come on. You got to dump the trash into the dumpster. Come on. Please. (Begins to lose balance) Whoa! Come on! (Tries to keep his balance) Come on. Please don't...(Loses his balance and drops the can. Looks down to see the trash scattered on the ground) slip! (Facepalms) UGH! Now I got to pick up this...disgusting trash! UGH!

Stan got the can facing upright. Thankfully only half the trash had fallen out. So he didn't have much to pick up off the ground. He began to pick up the pieces of trash one by one.

Stan: (Gives a disgusted face)

A Ladybug Cam was spying on Stan as he was gathering his trash. Then flew away to the Yokai Mansion to show Yokaimou and his minions.

Madame Misfortune: What do you have for us this time, Ladybug Cam?

Ladybug Cam: Stealth Red doesn't like taking out the trash.

Madame Misfortune: Wait, you can talk?

Slugbora: I added a talking feature into them to give us better communication on how to beat the Stealthrangers.

Luanna Bunny: That was a genius idea, Sluggy.

Slugbora: Please don't call me Sluggy.

Yokaimou: I think I know how to turn Stealth Red's trashy day into an even trashier one.

Leafy: How so, Master?

Yokaimou: Why, with Trashmeister of course.

Madame Misfortune: Of course. Trashmeiser. The best Yokai that has to do with trash.

Then, Trashmeiser arrived.

Trashmeiser: What trash do you want me to take out this time?

Yokaimou: Stealth Red is taking out the trash for his family. Go in there and make his day even trashier.

Trashmeiser: Will do, Master.

And Trashmeiser headed on out. Over with Stan, he had just finished picking up the pieces of trash.

Stan: That's the last of them. Now to get this trash into the dumpster.

He picked up the can again and tried lifting it. He did his best not to drop the trash this time.

Stan: This time I shall not drop this can of trash.

But he was once again not able to keep his balance and ended up dropping it again.

Stan: Oh not again!

But this time, no trash fell to the ground.

Stan: That's odd. Why didn't any trash fall down?

Then he looked up to see the can floating in midair.

Stan: Is this some sort of Yokai trick?

Then, the can turned to its side and some trash shot out towards Stan.

Stan: GAAH!

Stan rushed to about getting hit by the trash, but wherever Stan went, the trash followed him.

Stan: Leave me alone!

But the trash wouldn't leave him alone.

Stan: Why won't you stop following me you cloud of trash?

Then, Trashmeiser appeared.

Trashmeiser: Is this day trashy enough for you, Stealth Red?

Stan: It is too trashy for me, you Yokai!

Trashmeiser: That is good!

Stan: Good? It's not good, you dummy!

Trashmeiser: Then how about this?

He then fired a beam at the dumpster, vaporizing it and leaving only its trash.

Stan: What did you do? (Stops, but is then hit by the trash) AH! EWW! That does it! Super Change Stealth Changer! (Transforms into Stealth Red, then charges for Trashmeiser)

Stan and Trashmeiser fought for a bit with Stan using his sword at Trashmeiser for a while.

Trashmeiser: (Knocks Stan to the ground)

Stan: Ah! (Turns on his communicator) Guys! I need some help! I'm fighting a trash-themed Yokai who destroyed the dumpster!

Lewis's Voice: On our way, son!

(Cuts to the others in the camper)

Lewis: Guys, Stan is in trouble. We need to go help him.

All: Super Change Stealth Changer! (All transform into their ranger forms, then head out of the camper)

Gamma 4:

Back with Stan, Trashmeiser was about to have the trash hit Stan again.

Trashmeiser: Since you liked the trash the first time, here is a second dose. (Blasts the trash towards Stan)

Stan: I never said that I-

But then, right before the trash hit him, he was zipped away by a black flash.

Trashmeiser: What?

He looked to see that Tracy had grabbed him away from the trash.

Tracy: Are you alright, Stan?

Stan: I am. Thanks, Tracy.

Then the other Stealthrangers arrived in front of Trashmeiser.

Trashmeiser: It looks like the gang is all here. It feels so good when all the trash is together.

Marvin: Since when has trash ever been incomplete?

Judd: It could be if the can isn't full all the way.

Trashmeiser: Which there won't be when we're finished. I'm going to destroy all of the dumpsters in the city. Then nobody will have any place to take out their trash. (He then vanishes away)

Lucy: Destroy all the dumpsters?

Lewis: I don't like the sound of that. If there are no dumpsters, we can't throw our trash away.

Tracy and Stan then ran back up beside the others.

Tracy: We'll then all be living in a pigsty if the world builds up with trash.

Stan: I don't think I'd like that.

(A fantasy then begins, showing the Kitinger family and Tracy trying to get through the trash in their house)

Fantasy Stan: Hey, Dad, have you seen Gamma anywhere?

Fantasy Lewis: I can't find him anywhere.

Fantasy Lucy: Gamma! Gamma! Can you hear us?

Marvin VO: Maybe we could try eating the trash?

Fantasy Marvin: (Begins to eat the trash)

Judd VO: Marvin, that is a disgusting thought!

Fantasy Judd: (Gives a disgusted face as Fantasy Marvin is eating the trash)

Tracy VO: This whole fantasy is already a disgusting thought! Let's stop!

(Cuts back to reality)

Tracy: That's better!

Lewis: If we don't stop that Yokai, that fantasy may become reality! We better split up to get a better chance of finding him!

Lucy: Good thinking, Lewis! Everyone, try to find any dumpsters you can and wait for the Yokai there. If any of you find him, be sure to let us all know.

Judd: Will do, Mom.

Marvin: Let's get to it, then.

And they all split up. Later in the city, Marvin had found a local restaurant.

Marvin: Ah, there's a restaurant. Let's see if the dumpster is still there.

He looked, but when he did, he only found a pile of trash on the ground.

Marvin: Oh dang!

Then, a worker with a trash bag came out.

Male Skunk Worker: (Stops to see the dumpster is gone) What happened to the dumpster? Did somebody steal it and then leave the trash?

Marvin: I think it was destroyed. Do not worry sir. We'll find the Yokai responsible.

Male Skunk Worker: When you do, let my boss know so he can get a new dumpster.

Marvin: You got it.

And Marvin hurried away. Over in the back alley of a crafts store, Judd saw a bunch of paper and cardboard on the ground where the dumpster should be.

Judd: Hey, that Yokai got it wrong. That wasn't a garbage dumpster, that was a recycling dumpster.

Then, a worker, who was a lizard man, came out with some cardboard.

Judd: Hey, sir, I'm sorry about what happened with your recycle dumpster. Some Yokai is going around destroying garbage dumpsters all around town and he must have destroyed your recycle dumpster by mistake.

Lizard Worker: There was no dumpster right here. The one we had fallen apart a week ago. I've had to just leave the recycle outside in nothing.

Judd: Aren't you concerned that the wind will blow the recycle away?

Lizard Worker: It hasn't blown so hard for the past week. So I'm not that concerned. And neither is my boss.

Judd: I think maybe you should just leave the recycle inside just to be safe. You don't want to be caught for littering.

Lizard Worker: I suppose you have a point, Stealthranger.

Judd: Do you happen to have a garbage dumpster here?

Lizard Worker: Oh yes. It's on the side of the building.

Judd: Thanks.

Judd hurried to the side of the building, but there was just a pile of trash bags there.

Judd: Oh no. I'm too late. I sure hope the others are having better luck.

Stan and Tracy met up over at a dock where a pile of trash bags was laying.

Tracy: (Sighs) Not again.

Stan: You haven't had any luck in finding a dumpster that hadn't been destroyed?

Tracy: No I haven't.

Stan: I haven't either. This is the...seventh, eighth, ninth dumpster gone I've seen. Or rather, haven't seen.

Tracy: I've searched in eleven places already. I even passed by a guy who said if I find a twelfth, that will be too many. I've already seen too many after the first one so I don't see how twelve is any different.

Then, Lewis showed up.

Stan: Dad.

Tracy: Mr. Kitinger.

Stan: Did you find any dumpsters?

Lewis: I've searched in 35 places. No luck.

Tracy: That's more unfortunate than us.

Then Lucy showed up.

Lucy: I cannot believe this. I've looked in 50 places to find a dumpster not destroyed and found a destroyed dumpster...50 times! Not even once have I found one not destroyed.

Then, Marvin and Judd arrived.

Marvin: Any luck, guys?

Stan, Tracy, Lewis, and Lucy: Nope!

Judd: We haven't had any luck either.

Lucy: It's like every single dumpster is gone at this point.

Lewis: That can't be. The next thing you'll be telling me is that the dump will be gone.

Judd: Well...

Lucy: Oh come on. You can't possibly mean...

(Cuts to a lot full of trash)

Judd: Sorry, Mom. But I have to tell you the dump is gone.

Stan: Well, not totally. Only the walls of the dump are missing. The dump itself is still here.

Trashmeiser's Voice: That may be, but you won't be for very long.

Tracy: Ah! That's his voice!

Lewis: At least now we know where he is.

Trashmeiser's Voice: No you don't! You may be able to hear me, but you cannot see me.

Stan: Where are you! We'll find you soon enough!

Trashmeiser's Voice: Oh you will, eh?

Then, the trash in the lot turned into a twister and went towards the Stealthrangers.

Stan: Oh no! (Hugs Tracy, who hugs him back)

Judd: (Covers his eyes)

Marvin: This can't be good! (Ducks and covers his head)

Soon, they were caught up in the trash twister and were in another realm that was dark and full of trash with two stars in the air.

Stan: Huh? Where are we?

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

Judd: Me, neither. So much trash all over the place.

Trashmeiser's Voice: The perfect place for you all.

Judd: Just how is this perfect?

Trashmeiser's Voice: What is trash, might I ask you?

Marvin: Well, trash is whatever is useless to you and no longer has any purpose to you anymore.

Trashmeiser's Voice: Exactly! And that is what you are!

Lucy: What nonsense! We'll find a way out of here. Won't we, guys?

Lewis: Of course. We're the Stealthrangers, aren't we?

Stan: There should be an opening here somewhere. Let's start looking.

They ran around the realm for any exits, Marvin first came across a broken TV.

Marvin: Hmmm. Maybe this TV is a good way to get out? I'll need to get rid of the sharp pieces of glass first. (Uses his sword to cut away all the sharp pieces of glass. Then sets the TV on the ground with the broken screen facing up) Here we go. (Jumps in, but only his feet go in) I guess this wasn't the exit. (Gets out)

Judd then found a refrigerator. This refrigerator's top handle was missing.

Judd: I wonder if this refrigerator's door is the exit? (Opens the bigger lower door to reveal an empty inside) Hmmm. Maybe this is somewhat meant to be an elevator? (Gets into the refrigerator) Hmmm. No elevator sounds. Maybe it is just a trick? (Opens the door to see nothing had changed outside) Nope. Nothing has changed. (Gets out of the refrigerator) Hmmm. What about the upper door? Although how can I get the top open? (Tries opening the door) Come on! Come on! (Manages to open the upper door) There we go! (Sees that it is just empty) Nope. This isn't an exit. (Walks away)

Lewis and Lucy had found a bunch of old doors.

Lucy: Lewis, do you think any of these doors could be exits to this trashy realm?

Lewis: They could be. Let's try opening them.

Lucy: Good thinking.

Lucy opened one door, but nothing was on the other side. She then closed it. Lewis then opened another door, but it didn't lead anywhere.

Lewis: Nope. Not this one.

They opened and closed the doors for a while until Stan arrived.

Stan: Mom, Dad, why are you opening and closing these doors?

Lucy: We think maybe one of these doors leads out.

Lewis: It feels like we've checked 37 doors already, but we haven't found anything.

Stan: Well, I can only see 15 doors. So I think you've opened the same door more than once.

Lucy and Lewis both stopped for a moment.

Lewis: You know what, Lucy, I think Stan has a point.

Stan: Why don't you leave the door open once you've looked inside one?

Lucy: That's a smart idea, Stan.

Stan: I'll search with you. (Opens a door)

Lewis: Thanks, son.

They opened up all the doors, but none of them were the exit from the trash realm.

Lucy: Nope. None of these were the way out.

Lewis: But at least we know what doors we've opened up before.

Meanwhile, Tracy came across a bunch of portraits.

Tracy: Who would throw out all this perfectly good artwork? There is nothing wrong with them. But maybe one of them is the exit to this realm. Maybe if I jump into one, it'll lead me out.

She first jumped into a portrait of a robot with a Tyrannosaurus head-shaped chest with horns on each side of its head and an orange fin, but she just ripped through it and it wasn't the exit.

Tracy: It wasn't this one.

Then she tried a painting of a red fox lady and a short tan creature with glasses yelling at each other. But like with the first painting, this wasn't the exit either. Next, she tried a painting of a vixen and a young crow in front of some snow, but this wasn't the exit to the realm either. After going through every single painting, she was left with no exits.

Tracy: I've gone through every one of these paintings and none of them were the exit. Although if any of this is real, I feel bad for making these holes in these paintings. Whoever drew them did a pretty good job. If anyone ever added my artwork to a folder suggesting them to be trash on an art sharing site, I'd instantly block them to undo the folder adding. I just cannot believe some people think they can do a thing like that.

After searching for some time, they all ended up back where they started from.

Marvin: Oh no.

Judd: We're back here.

Tracy: We've been looking around for some time and haven't found the exit.

Marvin: I found a broken TV, thinking its broken screen was the exit.

Lewis: You didn't get into the broken screen without clearing the sharp glass first, did you, Marvin?

Marvin: I cleared the glass before going in, Dad. No worries.

Judd: I found a refrigerator that was missing one handle, but both doors lead to nothing. That is except just the plain inside of the refrigerator.

Tracy: How did you open the door without a handle.

Judd: I just opened it from the side. But it was not easy to open. I thought for a moment that it was an elevator.

Stan: A refrigerator elevator?

Judd: Hey, this realm makes no sense. It could have been anything.

Stan then looked up at the star that none of them had seen before.

Stan: Hey, what are those things in the sky for?

They all looked to see the stars.

Lewis: It looks like a pair of stars.

Lucy: I think that is what they are. But I haven't noticed them until now.

Lewis: Neither have I. Good find, Stan.

Stan: Let's see what happens if we fire at them. Maybe they'll be what will get us out.

They got out their blasters and fired at the stars. When the stars got hit, an explosion happened.

Trashmeiser's Voice: AAAAH! (Suddenly appears as the trash realm disappeared)

Trashmeiser: How dare you shoot me in the eyes.

Stan: Serves you right for banishing us to your stupid trashy realm. And I called it trashy as an insult, not literally.

Lewis: Now, to put you in your place.

They got their swords out and they began to fight against Trashmeiser with Lewis having the first strike at him, then Lucy, then Marvin, then Judd, then Tracy, and then Stan.

Trashmeiser: (Gets knocked back) Ow! Ergh!

Marvin & Judd: Stealth Blaster! (Blasts at Trashmeiser)

Trashmeiser: AAAH!

Lewis: Good work, boys. Now I think we should finish this. Stan, get your Stealth Cycle ready.

Stan: Right away, Dad! Stealth Cycle!

Then Stealth Cycle arrived and Stan got on board it. Then, he drove towards Trashmeiser and struck him down!

Trashmeiser: GAAAH! (Falls down)

Lucy: Good work, Stan.

Stan: Thanks.

Trashmeiser: You leave me no choice but to grow giant. I'll really make this city all full of trash, then. (Grows giant) Now, to cover the city in trash. (Creates a tornado to make trash spread across the city)

Tracy: This guy cannot get enough with all his trash, can he?

Stan: I think it is time for us to take out the trash. And by the trash I mean him!

The core Stealthrangers then assumed their Stealth Shogun Fighter forms and went to face the trash.

Lewis: Guys, we got to pick up as much of this trash as we can.

Trashmeiser: You'll have to go through me first, though. (Fires a blast from his eyes at the Stealth Shogun Fighters)

Ninja Fox Warrior: (Blocks the attack)

Tracy: Not this time, Trash-miser!

Trashmeiser: It's Trashmeiser! MEISER!

Tracy: Ninja Fox Sword Strike!

Ninja Fox Warrior: (Strikes at Trashmeiser with its sword)

Trashmeiser: AAAAH!

While the Ninja Fox Warrior was fighting Trashmeiser, the Stealth Shogun Fighters picked up huge hands full of trash and placed them in the landfill area. Before long, the city was clean of any trash.

Judd: That's the last of the trash.

Marvin: Well, not quite all of it.

Stan: Marvin is right. We better form the Grand Stealth Shogun and finish this.

Lewis: Good idea, son.

They then combined into the Grand Stealth Shogun. The Ninja Fox Warrior then knocked Trashmeiser towards the Grand Stealth Shogun.

Trashmeiser: AAAH! (Looks up at the Grand Stealth Shogun) Uh...

Stan: Grand Stealth Shogun Sword! (The sword appears in the Grand Stealth Shogun's hand) Final Strike!

Grand Stealth Shogun: (Strikes at Trashmeiser with the sword)

Trashmeiser: AAAAH! What a way to take out the trash! (Falls and explodes)

Stan: And with that, all the trash has been taken out!

Over at the Yokai Mansion, Yokaimou was not happy with Trashmeiser's failure.

Yokaimou: Trashmeiser failed to take out the real trash! Those pesky Stealthrangers!

Slugbora: Quite a shame. I thought the city looked beautiful with all that trash around the city. And those Stealthrangers had to pick it all up.

Madame Misfortune: Hey, on the bright side, with all those dumpsters destroyed, nobody will have any place to throw their trash away to.

But then, Luanna Bunny rushed in looking quite stressed over something.

Madame Misfortune: Luanna, what happened?

Luanna Bunny: Guys, you aren't going to believe this.

Yokaimou: What is it?

Luanna Bunny whispered into Yokaimou's ear what she was stressed over.

Yokaimou: He WHAT? >8(

Later on, the Stealthrangers were walking in the city talking.

Marvin: Well, we managed to defeat the Yokai this time.

Judd: That may be, but there are still those dumpsters that had been destroyed. With so many of them gone, how will the city ever take care of their trash now?

They then came by to where the dump was to find that they were working on reconstructing the walls.

Lewis: Well, the dump seems to be in good hands.

Then, they got a call from Gamma.

Gamma 4: Stealthrangers, I actually prepared for this Yokai attacking and had a storage unit full of spare dumpsters that not even Trashmeiser could ever find. I had sent them all out to replace the ones that were destroyed. I had to wait for the news to get out that you destroyed the Yokai first before I did that.

Stan: Wow. That is great, Gamma.

Lucy: Wait, you had spare dumpsters ready and never told us about it?

Gamma 4: Are you kidding? Who knows where Trashmeiser was. I'm sure that if I told anyone about those spare dumpsters, he'd be sure to find them and destroy them, too.

Lewis: When did you have time to make those dumpsters, Gamma?

Gamma 4: I built them while you and your father and two uncles fought the Yokai all those years ago.

Lucy: Wow. That was smart of you, Gamma. Did Lewis' father know about them?

Gamma 4: Nope. Not even he knew. It was all me.

Stan: Well, that takes care of that.

Lucy: And Stan, Tracy said that she'll take the next turn to take the trash out. So it'll be a good long time before you have to take it out next.

Stan: Really?

Tracy: Uh-huh. By the time it is your turn next, I will bet it'll be March.

Stan: I don't think it'll be that long, Tracy.

Tracy: But just in case, I'll be taking the next turn.

The next morning, everyone was having breakfast.

Stan: I sure am glad we were able to solve the trash problem we all had yesterday.

Judd: Yeah. And we don't have to worry about eating any trash.

(Marvin is then shown eating a box of cereal, and I mean the box)

Judd: Marvin!

Marvin: What?

Judd: I thought you weren't going to be eating trash!

Marvin: (Takes the box out of his mouth) I'm not. I just thought I'd have a bit of fun with you.

Judd: Marvin and I may come up with all sorts of jokes together, but sometimes he'll play jokes on even me.

Tracy: I guess apart from your colors, you aren't as alike as you thought.

Judd: I never said we were alike in every way. Everyone is different. Even twins can be different from one another.

Stan: That is true. Some twins have a boy and a girl in a pair.

Lucy: Like that princess we met a couple months ago. Her twin was a brother.

Judd: Exactly, Mom.

Tracy: Still, I feel bad about all those paintings I had to go through in that trash realm. I am wondering if that realm was even real. They were good paintings that I think should never have been thrown out.

Stan: Why did you go through them, Tracy?

Tracy: To see if any of them were the exits.

Marvin: And were they?

Tracy: You'd know if any of them were.

Marvin: Right.

Well, it looks like the trash has not only been taken out but the problem with where to put the trash has been solved as well.

To be continued...
