Storm From the Pacific
Act 1
The episode begins in the ocean, depicting a ship from the USA. Suddenly a torpedo hits the ship and an evacuation is ordered. Two guards unlock a door to get some equipment out, but they are stopped by some man who suddenly appeared. The shadowed man smokes the area leaving the guards coughing and him to take whatever was in the locked room. The ship sinks slowly to the bottom of the ocean. And after a small break, we see the White House. The President gets a call from the Pentagon, most likely talking about the sinking ship from last night. Hunter is in the swimming pool with his tennis ball in his mouth. Three men are in the pool with him, all dressed in business suits. Suddenly the light shines on Hunter.
Hunter: Hunter, it's time, boy.With that, Hunter leaps out of the pool and runs off to a secret underground tunnel that leads him to the Road Rover Headquarters. After his ride comes to an end, Hunter leaps out and jumps into the transdogmafier.
Hunter: Yes! I love that machine! (enters the room with the rest of the Rovers)Everyone is in the launch area, and Muzzle comes up to Hunter and whispers something into Hunter's ears. Hunter turns to the Master.
Colleen: (feeding Muzzle) Eat up, Muzzle. Want some more? (Muzzle chomps on spoon) There's a good boy. (Muzzle bites the spoon off while Colleen reaches for another)
Hunter: Hey, Colleen, Muzzle. How's it waggin?
Colleen: I don't know if that's any of your business.
Hunter: (heads to where Blitz and Exile are eating out of bowls on a table in cano-sapien form) Hey, what 'cha got in the bowl, Exile?
Exile: Shag has done it again. Yet another cullinary masterpiece!
Blitz: That dog is a gourmet genius!
Hunter: (goes to Shag who gives him a bowl of his cooking) Shag! Another awesome meal, pal. What's your secret?
Shag: (says some dog talk)
Hunter: Ya don't say. (sits down at table where Exile, Blitz, and Colleen are now eating)
Colleen: So what's his secret?
Hunter: He cooks everything in toilet water. (Exile, Blitz, and Colleen try to cough out their food)
Master: Next time let's get take out. Road Rovers, listen while I brief you on a mission at hand. Last night in the South Pacific, the US destroyer was struck by a torpedo and sunk. Thankfully, there were no casualties. But the navy's top secret decoder that controls an important defense satellite was stolen, and an unidentified submarine was spotted leaving the scene. Rovers, you must track down the thieves.
Blitz: I am ready, Master, to chew on secret stealing buttoxes!
Exile: Don't be a weird boy.
Master: The fate of a free world hangs in the balance. Retrieve that decoder!
Hunter: (salutes to Master, then releases the tennis ball in his mouth) Honored to lead the way, sir. I'm 50% retriever, you know.
Blitz: And 100% mutt. I'm not taking orders from some mixed breed! I should be top dog! I have super claws, super teeth, what does Hunter have? What are your super powers, huh?
Hunter: Well, lemme see, I'm super playful, super loyal, super trusting (holds up sign that says "Lawyers are your friends!"), and super super friendly. Can I sniff ya?
Blitz: No!
Hunter: Well, ok, but that's what being super friendly's all about. (gives Blitz his ball)
Blitz: Ok, these are the stupidest super powers I have ever heard of. Now go away! (throws ball to opposite direction)
Hunter: (quickly retrieves the ball with his super speed) Course, I'm super fast, too.
Blitz: (slouching) Oh, ya, I forgot. That's better. Sorry.
Hunter: That's ok. I'm also super forgiving. (new scene) We're dogs with a mission. We are-
All RR: Road Rovers! AAARRROOOOOOOOO!!!
Hunter: Can Muzzle come along? He hasn't been out of headquarters for a while.Muzzle foams at the mouth and totally loses it, trying to bite Blitz through his muzzle. Blitz himself hides behind Exile as Hunter stops his pal.
Master: Do you think that's wise?
Blitz: No way! That dog is crazy! A loose cannon! A total hot head! (he and Muzzle exchange growls)
Exile: Don't get him started, Blitz.
Blitz: I'm telling you now, he's unpredictable. He's totally reckless! An uncontrollable force of nature!
Hunter: Aw, now you've gone and hurt his feeling. There there, that's ok, Muzzle. Bad Dobieman say mean wordies, yeah. Take it easy pal. Maybe you can come along next time.Muzzle grunts as the Road Rovers leave him be. He then has a brilliant idea to stow away on the Sub Rover. He secretly hops onto the ship while Hunter tells Shag to go with him and Exile onto the Cloud Rover. Colleen and Blitz are to take the Sub Rover.
Blitz: We will have enjoyable trip together, right?Blitz grunts to Colleen's attitude. The Cloud Rover takes off into the air as the Sub Rover goes underwater.
Colleen: Right. And your name is...
Hunter: See ya there, Colleen.Outside, Hunter and Colleen confirm picking up the leaving submarine's signal. The Sub Rover "walks" on the ground as Shag and Exile are admiring something in a magazine.
Colleen: Cheerio, Hunter.
Hunter: What are you guys looking at?Muzzle watches from the back of the ship as Colleen beats the stuffings out of Blitz. He is thrown onto the communicators of the ship as the ship turns upside-down.
Exile: Forest Illustrated. Giant redwood issue. (with Shag) Ahh.
Hunter: You two definitely need a hobby.
Blitz: (on Sub Rover) Ok, so when do I get a chance at the controls?
Colleen: Oh, sorry. I didn't see you sitting there. I'm Colleen. Have we met?
Blitz: Of course! You know me! I'm Blitz!
Colleen: Blitz, Blitz, no, no, that's not working for me. I know! I'll give you a brand new name. something that better suits your winning/witting (?) personality. Yes, from now on let's call you Mr. Fluffypants!
Blitz: Let's not.
Colleen: Mr. Stuffington Fluffypants, or Fluffy for short.
Blitz: Stop calling me that or I'll bite you!
Colleen: Oh yeah? With who's dentures, Fluffy?
Exile: (from Cloud Rover with communicator) Blitz, come in. Everything okie dokie down there?The Sub Rover's scanners detect the bogie sub heading into port. The Cloud Rover makes a recon of the island.
Blitz: Just call me Fluffy...
Exile: Don't be weird boy.
Hunter: Exile? What do you see?Shag leaps into Exile's arms as the enemy choppers open fire on the Sky Rover.
Exile: (using supervision) To our right side is gently smoking volcano. Tor our left side is moonlit tropical beach. And to our front side is enemy helichoppers coming straight at us!
Hunter: Ha. I would not have predicted this.
Act 2
The Cloud Rover is still in pursuit.
Exile: Fly faster, Hunter. Fly like a- fly like a- really fast thing that flies- fast!Sub Rover has docked to the side of the island. Colleen and Blitz rush towards the Cloud Rover's crash site, unknowingly leaving Muzzle behind on the Sub Rover. At the crash site, Exile diligently tries to fix the Cloud Rover with his super vision.
Hunter: Whoa, Exile. You have a way with words.
Exile: Thank you. It is gift.
Hunter: (after endless pursuit) Hit 'em with the anti-aircraft lasers!
Exile: You betchski. (he opens the hatch doors and Shag holds big cannon looking gun) Get ready. Take aim.
Hunter: (turns around and sees the cannon held backwards) No, Shag. Turn it around! The other way! Ah!
Exile: Fire! (frontside of the Cloud Rover's window is blown out)
Hunter: See? This is precisely the reason they don't normally give bazookas to dogs. (the Cloud Rover is inevitably shot down)
Colleen: (from a distance) Oh, brilliant.
Hunter: What's the prognosis, Exile?Hurriedly and worriedly, Shag runs up to Hunter and talks to him in his dog-jibberish.
Exile: I'll have Cloud Rover fixed in two shakes of a lamb's jiffy!
Hunter: (to Colleen) What's a lamb's jiffy?
Colleen: Don't ask.
Colleen: What'd he say?Shag says some more then leads to another place on the island. We watch the submarine enter a secret entrance to the volcano.
Hunter: He says he prefers dry dog food over canned.
Hunter: There goes that bogie sub with the stolen decoder.The Rovers are hiding in front of the entrance to the volcano which is guarded by two guards.
Colleen: And those choppers are heading into the volcano too.
Hunter: Good work, Shag. Now all we have to do is figure a way to get inside.The guards shrug off the oncoming intruder. One of them fires a smoke bomb at Blitz. He takes a sniff at the smoke.
Blitz: I'll get in!
Exile: Blitz, quit rushing!
Blitz: (charging the entrance with super claws and jaws) Let the biting begin!
Blitz: Ooh, that smells springtime fresh.Blitz passes out, collapsing onto the ground. The guards calmly drag Blitz into their base.
Exile: Well, he got in all right.Hunter quickly runs in front of the guards, howls, then runs off to a different direction. The guards quickly follow in pursuit.
Hunter: Yup. He's a dog of his word.
Colleen: And our job here is done. (stands up to leave)
Hunter: (pushes Colleen back down) No, stay, Colleen. Stay. (faces the other Rovers) K, here's the plan. I'll keep the guards busy. you three sneak in.
Colleen: Ooh, tricky.
Exile: How does Hunter do that fire thing?The Road Rovers run into the volcano as Hunter runs past the Sub Rover. The guards who are in pursuit decide to check out the ship instead of following Hunter, who has joined his comrades in the volcano. One of the guards opens the hatch on the top, and out comes hopping Muzzle, knocking the other two guards off the ship.
Colleen: I dunno. I just hope it has nothing to do with his digestive tract.
Guard: What was that?Muzzle hops towards the volcano as well, leaving the guards in the water. Inside the structure, the Rovers are quietly trying to locate Blitz.
Hunter: I hope we can find Blitz.All of the Road Rovers are placed in a single cell. Shag tries to pull the bars out with no luck. Colleen attempts to kick the bars out but hurts herself instead. Exile's super eye beams don't penetrace the metal either.
Colleen: Who?
Hunter: The doberman?
Colleen: Oh, him, right.
Hunter: Hey, he may be pushy, but he seems brave.
Blitz: (from behind doors) (crying) Please let me go!
Colleen: You were saying?
Voice: (interrogating Blitz) So they sent in a dog to do a man's job. Or rather they sent in a Road Rover.
Blitz: Actually, I'm not a Road Rover, I borrowed this suit for a costume party. Really, I don't even like dogs, they're too drooly! Honest! (cries some more) Please let me go! I'll do anything!
Hunter: We'd better go and get him before he sells out his mother.
Colleen: Oh, I'd love to, Hunter, really, but we've run into a bit of a sticky wicket-wat. (referring to guards who have the Rovers at gunpoint surrounding them)
Hunter: Oh, hi. You must be Sticky. Or are you Wicket? I always get you two confused.
Exile: Bulshoi. This steel is harder than KGB's heart!The cage suddenly moves and turns around to face a new room, apparently the control room to the operations. In the middle of the room is a man who stands and talks to the Rovers.
Blitz: (cries) I want to go now.
Hunter: Look on the bright side, guys. The Road Rovers are back together again!
Storm: Welcome. I am Captain Zachary Storm. And you, the Road Rovers, are about to witness the total destruction of the United States. Let the fun begin.Act 3
Still stuck on the island.
Storm: I know what you're thinking, Rovers. Yet another meglomaniac on a volcanic island planning global conquest.From the viewing screen in the control room, the satellite moves into place and begins firing, destroying everything in its path.
Hunter: Yeah, exactly. It's already been done.
Colleen: Boring!
Storm: The difference is, dogs, I have the fire power to do it. You see, I hold here the only decoder that controls the navy's top secret satellite of mass destruction. And you're just in time to see it in action.
Storm: In a short while, when the satellite is in the proper alignment, I'll fire the lasers obliterating ten key US cities and do you know why?Storm pushes a button that makes the cage turn back around to the original cell holding room. The end of the hall opens, letting hot lava fill the room fast. Meanwhile Muzzle continues to hop around the control room while Storm's henchmen make the final adjustments for the promised total distruction. Muzzle accidentily knocks something over that puts Storm on edge. At the same time Exile is holding the back the lava with his icey eyes.
Hunter: Yeah, cuz you're mad at the NFL for letting the Cleveland Browns move to Baltimore!
Storm: Mmm... besides that.
Colleen: Because you're a member of the mad of the month club?
Storm: No! Don't you treat me like the others did back in the gulf. Just because I opened fire without a direct order, I- was- court martialed! (in the background Muzzle is hopping along) They gave me a dishonorable discharge! Big mistake! Now, I'll discharge them! (satellite destroys some huts) But first, let me give my canine friends a fine farewell. Buh-bye.
Hunter: Hang in there, Exile.Suddenly Muzzle releases them by pressing the other button, and the Rovers are freed into the control room and thankful for their rescuer. But at the same time Storm and his henchmen go after the Rovers. The Rovers exit the room and Shag and Exile try to block the doorway.
Exile: I am trying, but I am in bigtime need of visine!
Exile: We cannot hold them for long, comrades!Exile and Shag let Storm out of the room.
Blitz: Let's save our own legs while we still can!
Hunter: No, we have a mission to complete. We have to stop Storm!
Colleen: But how, Hunter? We have no weapons!
Hunter: We need something unpredictable, something totally reckless. An uncontrollable force of nature. Hey! We need Muzzle! (Storm is about to break through the doors, Hunter gets ready to take off Muzzle's muzzle) Now!
Hunter: Alright, buddy, muzzle 'em!The bad guys escape and the Road Rovers look inside the now totally wrecked control room. Muzzle is lying peacefully on top of a computer with a full stomach.
Muzzle: Rah! (rises to the occasion and attacks Storm and his henchmen in control room)
Colleen: Ew, gross!
Shag: Ah! (covers eyes)
Hunter: Ooh, Muzzle, take it easy! Okay, that's enough for me.
Exile: Me also. It's much worse than Churbulber(??)
Blitz: Go Muzzle, go! Make (pound dust?) out of them! (changes expressions) Ah, now that is sick!
Hunter: To the power of the pack!The room begins to collapse as the top half of the volcano comes apart to beome an airborne control center. Inside is a thrashed crew with Storm in command.
All RR: AAARRRROOOOOOOO!!!
Exile: (puts muzzle back on) Nice work, comrade.
Colleen: I've got the decoder! So much for Storm's big plan.
Hunter: Hey, where is that crackpot anyway?
Storm: Fortunately, dogs don't have nine lives. They have just one. Which is about to end for the Road Rovers!Storm fires a laser from his craft that erupts the volcano. The Rovers desperately run out to avoid the hot flowing lava. Shag an Exile get into the Cloud Rover. Hunter tells Blitz and Colleen to go for the Ocean Rover (previously stated was the Sub Rover).
Hunter: Wait! Where's Muzzle? (realizes he's still inside the volcano) Oh no.Hunter dashes off towards the volcano. The Cloud Rover takes off just as the lava was about to hit them, and after Colleen and Blitz dive into the Sub Rover, it takes off as well. Exile and Shag try to find Hunter and Muzzle. They find them rushing away from the oncoming lava. However, Hunter and Muzzle come to a cliff with no where to run, the lava about to overtake them.
Blitz: Where are you going?
Hunter: Muzzle's my pal, I gotta save him.
Blitz: You'll never make it!
Hunter: Hey, I have no choice.
Blitz: Why?
Hunter: It's one of my powers, I'm super loyal.
Hunter: Well, Muzzle, I don't know which of my super powers will save us this time.Suddenly Shag appears and lifts Hunter and Muzzle off of the ground while on the Cloud Rover.
Hunter: Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that one. I'm super, super lucky!The volcano eventually sinks into the water, completely disappearing.
Colleen: Let's take it home, Rovers.Everyone is safe and sound and back at headquarters.
All RR: AARRRRROOOOOOOO!!!
Hunter: Master, it would have been the end of the road for us if ol' Muzzle here hadn't hopped to the rescue.Shag is at the computer using the decoder to use the satellite's lasers to chase Captain Storm's ship in the ocean.
Exile: So next time, Blitz, we don't have argument over whether Muzzle comes or not.
Blitz: Ya, okay, I'm sorry. I made a small mistake about the little Muzzle dog.
Exile: And about Hunter too.
Blitz: Ya, ya, alright. I guess you're not such a stinky litter after all.
Hunter: Hey, that's nice. Thanks.
Colleen: That was eliquitely(?) put.
Blitz: Dankushen (sp?), pretty lady.
Colleen: You're welcome, Fluffy.
Blitz: I'm thinking of changing my name.
Exile: But I like Fluffy.
Master: You've done well, Rovers. You're good, good dogs. As for the decoder, we'll need to return that to the navy.
Hunter: I know, Master, and we will too. Just as soon as Captain Storm is picked up by the authorities.
Exile: Shag, can you keep that bad guy busy till then?
Shag: Ruh-huh!
Storm: No, stop! I surrender! Really! I- I give up! Just stop chasing me! Please! Stop!Alas, our second episode ends.
All RR: AAARRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!
