Extreme Halloween Insanity

Part 2

In our last episode, the villains, Fangster, Oni, Soduko, and Sokudo, have developed a means of capturing and transforming victims into living balloons with the use of their newest weapon, the Inflato Ray. And with it, they have used it to claim many victims. The first target it was tested on was Oni's closest companion Tubby. The second and third being Splinter and Yoshi. After testing the device to see if it works, the villains then embarked on a hunt for more victims to inflate with this weapon. And they have used it to inflate Crunch Bandicoot, Griff, Leo, Caspian, Brooklyn, Talon, Fang, Claw, the Talon Clones, and their most recent victims being Brain, Big Blag, Scuzzy, and Gaichu. But although they have managed to gather several living balloons their hunt for more victims is not yet over. Who else will fall victim to the villain's Inflato Ray? Who else will they transform into living blimps? And what is their scheme behind this? Stay tuned to find out.

[The four villains are seen gathering up their victims in a storage room within their ship. And as their number of victims grows even larger, the more satisfied they become]

Brain: You can't keep us locked up in here!

Talon: Just you wait! We'll get you for this!

Oni: Oh please, I highly doubt that. You guys can't even maneuver yourselves in your current and needless to say permanent condition! Now you guys have fun with each other, and we'll be back with some more balloons for you to keep you company! (laughs)

[Oni steps out of the room, and locks the door behind them]

Fang: Oh great. Nothing worse than this could possibly happen!

Talon: And I suppose your complaining is going to help with the situation?

Brain: Seriously! Put a sock in it, Fang!

[Oni then joins Fangster, Sokudo, and Soduko in the main hall]

Fangster: So how are the prisoners?

Oni: Last I checked, they're still in good bloated condition, and they're all secured.

Fangster: Good! Because now we hunt for more victims to become balloons!

Oni: Where should we go to next?

Fangster: For our next stop, we will head for Canada! I hear a certain wolf is on vacation there.

Orenji: You mean that guy who use to try and lead a group called The Pack?

Fangster: Yes! That's him! I believe he calls himself... Wolf?

Oni: Yeah. Though honestly, its not real original.

Orenji: Yeah. But then again what kind of name is Oni?

Fangster: Its the name of demons in Japanese culture.

Oni: Yeah. It especially helps if you've done your research... (tugs jacket)

Soduko: Alright let's bag us a wolf.

Oni: Will do! It's off to Canada!

Sokudo: Gonna need mittens.

Orenji: Or as humans put it, kid gloves.

Fangster: And kid gloves it is. Now, let's go!

[Our attention is then focused on the country side of Canada. Up in the coldest regions of the country, we see Wolf, who was scavenging for food]

Wolf: (growls) What's a guy gotta do to find some food? [The frustrated and hungry Wolf feels his growling stomach] (sigh) It's not easy being a predator...[Suddenly, Wolf sees a deer racing through the woods] Finally a meal. [Wolf positions himself on all fours, shakes his tail and behind around a few times, and darts off at the deer] ROAR! [Wolf was gaining on the deer. But just as he lunges, he is hit by a laser beam to the chest. As he hits the snow, he wonders what hit him. But then he instantly swells up to the size of a giant parade balloon, and floats several yards off the ground] What the hell?!

[Orenji comes out from hiding. He jumps out of a tree using his monkey agility, and lands on his feet just below the inflated Wolf]

Orenji: What's up?

Wolf: Not you again!

[Orenji blows the steam off the Inflato Ray]

Orenji: Oh but it is! And I'm not alone! Guys?

[Fangster, Oni, and the two cheetahs show themselves]

Oni: Hey.

[Wolf recognizes Oni and gets angry]

Wolf: YOU!

Oni: Tsk, tsk, tsk. My, my, you seem rather angry, Wolf! Did I do something to you in our previous encounter to make you so steamed up?

Wolf: You made me act like a house dog and bloated me up while I was in that state of mind!

Oni: Oh yes! Right! (chuckling) Come to think of it, Wolf! I actually did you a big favor! I made you act on your canine instincts, and I think bloating you up was a cute look for you! But I think bigger is better!

Wolf: Then why don't you inflate yourself?! It seems to suit you too!

Oni: I have a better idea.

[Oni uses his magic to silence Wolf. His mouth is gagged shut. He begins to mumble angrily]

Wolf: (muffled shouts)

Oni: Be grateful that you're still conscious and not brain-dead, Wolf. Besides, you're going to remain a balloon for the rest of your miserable life!

Wolf: (mumbling) NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I HAVE RIGHTS! YOU BETTER UNDO ME YOU LITTLE CALF! OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!

Oni: (scoffs) Yeah right.

Orenji: Hmmm... Maybe we could blow him up just a tiny bit bigger...

Fangster: Eh, why not?

[Fangster points the Inflato Ray at Wolf with a smile on his face]

Wolf: (muffled) Don't you dare!

[Fangster blasts Wolf with the Inflato Ray once more, and he blows up twice the size he once was. Everybody starts laughing at him. Oni, Orenji, and Fangster laugh so hard, that they fall to the ground with their hands on their stomachs]

Orenji: (cackles) This is priceless!

Fangster: (laughing) He's simply the funniest looking blimp we've ever made!

Wolf: (muffled) You bastards...

Soduko: Well boys, it's time to hightail it out of here with our catch!

Fangster: (stops laughing) Oh! Right! Oni, you know what to do.

Oni: (stops laughing) Of course. Don't I always?

[Oni uses his magic to direct the gigantic ballooned-up Wolf, who was helpless to do anything]

Wolf: (muffled growls)

[Meanwhile, a group of hitchhikers have spotted the gigantic inflated Wolf hovering just above the trees]

Hitchhiker: What in the world...?

Hitchhiker 2: What's up?

Hitchhiker 1: See for yourself... (points to where Wolf was floating)

Hitchhiker 2: Well that is weird.

Hitchhiker 1: What do you think that is?

Hitchhiker 2: Don't know... Looks like a parade balloon shaped like a... Wolf?

[In the next scene, the villains then head over to the city of San Francisco, where a massive robbery was taking place. And the robber turns out being Mako the shark of all people]

Mako: (cackles) Stupid humans. [Mako is seen racing on the rooftops of a couple of buildings with his bags of money that he stole. He carefully leaps from one building to another to escape the police] You can't catch me Coppers!

[Suddenly, he hears Fangster's voice]

Fangster: Maybe not. But I know I can catch you!

Mako: Huh? [As Mako leaps into the air, he is suddenly hit by a beam, and he instantly blows up to a gigantic size, and hovers into the air, and his money bags drop] NO! MY MONEY!

[Fangster appears]

Fangster: You're not gonna need currency where you're going.

[Fangster uses a grappling device on his wrist to cast an energy lasso around Mako's inflated waste]

Mako: HEY!

Fangster: Now to get out of sight.

[Fangster runs off with the inflated Mako]

Mako: Let me go, fleabag!

Fangster: You just shut your trap, fish face!

Mako: Make me, mutt!

Fangster: Oh you asked for it, pal! Oh Oni!

[Oni appeared]

Oni: You called?

Fangster: Yes. Shut him up.

Oni: With pleasure.

[Oni uses his magic to gag Mako's mouth shut. Mako starts to mumble]

Mako: (muffled) What the?! Get this thing off me!

Oni: Now let's ride on him and hightail it out of here!

Fangster: Sure! But first...

[Fangster zaps Mako with the ray a second time, blowing him up to an even bigger size. Fangster and Oni then hop on top of Mako's inflated body with resultant BOING noises, and they fly away into the sky]

Oni: So where to next?

Fangster: Now we head back to the US. There we will collect two very special balloons.

Oni: Special how?

Fangster: (smiles) You'll see once we get there.

[As they fly away into the sky high above the clouds, our attention is then directed in the state of Texas, wheret Exile and Spike are seen sparing together in a wrestling ring. Donning their respective uniforms, they perform warm up exercises before they engage in their activity]

Exile: Good thing its not real hot out today, comrade.

Spike: Of course. This is merely a routine training exercise. But hey, it's good to have a warm up.

Exile: You raise a good point.

[Spike pours some water all over his face from a water bottle. Then he shakes it off, and warms up. Exile adjusts his belt and speedo, and tugs at his vest]

Spike: That was refreshing.

Exile: So, ready to go for a few rounds-ski?

Spike: (chuckles) Sure.

Exile: Dokey okey! Let's go!

Spike: You're on!

[Exile and Spike lean against the wires of the ring. And then they eye-ball each other with determined looks on their faces. Then, the two dogs charge at each other, and grab at each other's shoulders]

Exile: You're still strong as ox, comrade.

Spike: (chuckles) And you're as strong as a polar bear! Comrade!

Exile: Very funny.

Spike: What? Was that an insult?

Exile: Nyet. But reminds me of Vlad. Is he who you mean?

Spike: He is the polar bear I know.

Exile: Heh heh! Me also! So what about him?

Spike: You and him seem to have equal strength.

Exile: Well, let's focus on which of us is stronger, comrade.

Spike: Alright then.

[Spike performs a wrestling move in which he reverses his body, and hurls Exile into the oposite direction he's facing. Exile uses his agility he learned from Tsunami to maneuver himself. He somersaults, and lands on his feet on a pole]

Exile: You got to try harder than that, comrade.

Spike: Oh you haven't seen ANYTHING yet! [Spike hits his chest several times like a gorilla, and he jumps high into the air. As he lands, he approaches Exile with his arms out in position] Here I come!

Exile: Me too!

[Exile jumps for Spike, and the two dogs collide with each other, grabbing at each other's hands. As they land on the ground, Exile forces Spike into submission by grabbing at one of his legs, and twisting it. Spike slams his hand down to the floor of the wring several times. Exile lets go]

Exile: (chuckles) Getting a little rusty, old dog?

Spike: Oh not yet!

[As they continue sparing, Oni manages to sneak in. Spying on them, the little red bull grins, baring his teeth]

Oni: So these are two special balloons I should have known.

Fangster: That's right, my mischievous little red devil! I'm sure you're familiar with these guys.

Oni: Oh I'm familiar with them alright. They enjoy being balloons, so we're doing them a favor.

Fangster: Indeed. Only this time, they will be balloons forever!

Oni: Oh yeah!

[Exile and Spike continued their training. They went at it with each other, demonstrating each others' moves which they learned from each other. But neither one of them gave in. Until finally, it was time to call it a quits]

Spike: (exhausted and sweaty) Well... (whew) I don't know about you. But I'm ready to take a break.

Exile: (exhausted and sweaty) Me too... (whipes his face with a towel) We should grab a bite to eat, and then rest-ski.

[Exile throws the towel to Spike, who grabs it, and wipes his face clean]

Spike: You said it.

[Suddenly, the two of them hear clapping outside the ring]

Fangster: What a beautiful performance!

Oni: Indeed! We were delightfully entertained!

Exile: Those voices...

Spike and Exile look to their right to see Fangster and Oni sitting in the chairs with their legs crossed]

Spike: Oni! Fangster! Didn't think we run into you two so soon and at the same time.

Oni: Now is that anyway to greet old friends?

Spike: Last time we checked, you two weren't friends of ours.

Fangster: Oh but we are acquainted with each other. And that's what counts.

Exile: Enough chit-chat! What do you two crooks want?

Fangster: So glad you asked! Here's what we want...

[Fangster takes the Inflato-Ray out of his suit, and zaps Exile and Spike with it. They instantly inflate to the size of giant parade balloons, and hover several yards off the ground. Fangster and Oni both look up at the now ballooned up Exile and Spike with their hands on their hips, and smiling with their teeth bared]

Spike: What in the world?!

Exile: Hey!

Oni: What's the matter? We thought you LOVED being blown up like balloons!

Fangster: Indeed! After all, you guys do it on an almost regular basis anyway!

Spike: Only when we do it or allow it willingly!

Exile: And this is definitely not of our free will!

Oni: Is that so? Well too bad! Because you're going to be our personal blimps whether you like it or not!

Fangster: And you'll stay that way FOREVER!

Exile: Not gonna happen!

Spike: In case you forgot we're masters of this!

Fangster: What?! Uh oh...

Oni: Hurry, zap them again!

[Exile exhales, and swoops down at Fangster and Oni, knocking them off their feet. They hit the wall behind them. Exile and Spike both float down to ground level and land on their feet. They both readjust their belts and place their hands on their bloated hips]

Spike: (chuckles) There's more where that came from.

Exile: (grins) Right-ski!

[Fangster and Oni are dazed. But they shake their heads and regain consciousness]

Oni: This is not going well.

Fangster: Didn't think these two would be this much of a headache.

Exile: You want some more? We show you how to fight like a balloon!

Spike: Yeah! We'll show you the mystical martial art of Balloon-Jutsu!

[Exile and Spike high five each other, spin around on one leg, and slam their inflated pelvic areas against each other with resultant BOING sounds]

Oni: Your Balloon-Jutsu is no match for my magic!

[Oni assumes a stance, and prepares to perform his magic]

Spike: Oh no you don't!

[Spike runs into Oni, and bounces him off his inflated body]

Oni: WHOA!

[Exile catches him in one hand]

Exile: So, you like to play dirty, huh?

[Oni struggles to break free from Exile's grip. But then Exile bounces him off his inflated body and back at Spike. They both bounce Oni back and forward off their bodies in a comedic fashion]

Spike: I don't know about you! But I'm having a blast already!

Exile: Me too! This is fun-ski!

Oni: UGH! OOH! OH! OW! HEY! FANGSTER! UGH! A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!?

Fangster: Playtime's over!

[Fangster grabs the Infato-Ray, and zaps Exile and Spike again. They instantly grow twice as big as they once were]

Exile and Spike: WHOA!

[Exile and Spike float all the way until they reach the ceiling]

Exile: This is not good-ski, comrade! I can't move!

Spike: Me neither.

Fansgter: That's because the bigger you grow, the more immobile and helpless you become! And all you can do now is float!

Oni: I think this is a better look for them, don't you think? (adjusts belt and speedo)

Fangster: It sure does.

Exile: What will you do to us?!

Fangster: We can't tell you that just yet. It's a surprise.

Spike: I don't like the sound of that.

Oni: Well enough of this foolishness. Time to take you back with us.

[Oni uses his magic to direct the inflated Exile and Spike with them back to their hideout. Our attention is then directed on Taurus, the Golden Bull and Tatsu the Noble Dragon]

Taurus: Come on, Tatsu! I wanna get to Akito's mansion and try on my new costume!

Tatsu: Oh relax, Taurus. We got three days until Halloween.

[Taurus checks the challenger, and sees that its October 28th]

Taurus: Huh... I guess you're right... But what are we going to do until then? I'm so bored...

Tatsu: Well we could take a look around in some parts of the US and then we can go to the mansion.

Taurus: Huh. I guess we could do that. I'm cool with that.

Tatsu: I figured you would be.

Taurus: Well what are we waiting for? Let's go! (adjusts belt and speedo)

Tatsu: Right behind you. (adjusts belt and speedo)

[The two head off to the city of Miami Florida]

Taurus: Oh yeah. Let's go Miami Beach!

Tatsu: Why? So you can drool over seeing those women with their fine bodies?

Taurus: (chuckles) Hey, can I help it if I have a thing for women with beautiful sexy looks?! Just look at all these hot chicks! They're looking mighty SEXY!

[Taurus goes nuts]

Tatsu: At ease my bovine friend.

[Taurus has hearts in his eyes, and he begins to drool wildly at the sight of all the pretty women, who eye-ball him. They tease him by blowing kisses to him and winking at him suggestively]

Taurus: OH YES! THIS IS GETTING MORE EXCITING BY THE SECOND! MORE WOMEN MEANS MORE FUN TIME FOR ME!

Tatsu: Taurus! Get a grip on yourself!

[Taurus races off to a group of women resting in the beach. He poses and flexes his muscles and poses suggestively for them]

Taurus: Hey there, pretty girl! Why don't you get a load of my pretty sexy body?! What do you think of me?! (poses and grins)

Tatsu: Good grief...

[Suddenly, another girl calls out for Taurus]

Girl: Yoo-hoo! Taurus!

[Taurus focuses his attention towards the voice]

Taurus: Huh? Who's that?

[Taurus races towards where the voice was taking him]

Tatsu: Hey! Wait! (sigh) What am I going to do with you?

[Tatsu flies after Taurus]

Taurus: Where are you, my pretty? There's no need to hide! I won't bite!

Girl's Voice: Over here! Over here!

[Taurus looks all over]

Taurus: Where are you? I can't see you! I can hear you, but I can't see you!

Girl's Voice: I'm close.

Tatsu: Taurus! Would you wait up? You're hard to reach with all these people in the way!

Taurus: Sorry but a girl is calling out to me.

[All of a sudden, Taurus sets his eyes on a figure wearing feminine clothes, sunglasses, and a hat on top]

Girl: Yoo-hoo! Hey there you Hunky Bull!

Taurus: (moos) [Taurus jumps high into the air, flipping like crazy. And when he lands, he speeds right off to the figure] Why hello there, mam! Is there anything I can do for you this afternoon?

Girl: (in Soduko's voice) Why yes... There certainly is...

Taurus: Huh?

[The figure removes the hat to reveal himself as Soduko]

Sokudo: Surprise!

[Sokudo pulls the Inflato-Ray on Taurus, and zaps him. He instantly inflates to the size of a giant blimp, and he floats high into the sky]

Taurus: What the hell?!

Soduko: (laughs) Got ya!

Tatsu: Taurus!

Soduko: Oh? What have we here?

Taurus: No Tatsu! Get away from here!

[Soduko aims his Inflato Ray, and fires. But Tatsu avoids it before the beam hits him]

Tatsu: Yikes!

Soduko: I'll get you this time!

[Soduko fires again, and once again misses]

Taurus: Its no use, you can't hit him. Tatsu is dragon with great speed and reflexes.

Oni: Shut up!

[Oni uses his magic to silence Taurus]

Taurus: (muffled shouts)

Tatsu: I don't know what you guys are playing at but the game is over!

[Tatsu charges at the villains]

Oni: I don't think so. Freeze!

[Oni casts an ice spell and encases Tatsu in a chunk of ice]

Fangster: Well done, Oni!

Oni: Thank you, thank you. You're too kind.

Soduko: What should we do with him?

Sokudo: Let's toss him in the ocean.

Oni: I agree. The ice is real heavy and I don't think he likes water.

Taurus: (muffled) You bastards won't get away with this!

Fangster: Put a sock in it! Oh wait, you already have one!

Taurus: (muffled growls)

Soduko: Well, let's dispose of this reptile freak. Put to sea!

[The villains travel to sea on a small boat. And once they're far away from shore and in the heart of the ocean, they dump the frozen Tatsu into the ocean. And he sinks to the bottom]

Sokudo: Now that he's taken care of let's get out of here.

Taurus: (muffled) TATSUUUUU!

[The villains utter a diabolical laugh at their actions. Our attention is now focused on the Kibou residence]

Akito: I wonder what other costumes Jasper came up with.

[Sheng-Long is seen resting on the couch, and filing his nails]

Sheng-Long: I don't know. And I couldn't care less.

Akito: You should care. You get the honor to wear one of them.

Sheng-Long: What? Oh heck no! I ain't wearing any of those costumes!

Akito: Why not? You might like it if you saw it.

Vlad: Come on, comrade! Have a heart! Try the costume Jasper made for you!

Sheng: Alright fine. Where is it?

[Prowl shows him his costume]

Prowl: Here you go, my friend.

[Sheng looked at it and saw it was robotic tiger costume]

Sheng-Long: Hmmm... On second thought, why not?

Prowl: I knew you would change your mind when you saw it.

Akito: I thought so too.

[Prowl winks at Akito]

Sheng: So what are you two going to dress up as?

Prowl: I got this.

[Prowl shows him a robotic gator costume]

Vladimir: This is mine.

[Vladimir shows Sheng his costume, a robotic dragon]

Sheng-Long: Whoa! Those are amazing costumes!

Prowl: We know. Jasper really put a lot of effort into making them.

Sheng-Long: Wait... how did Jasper make them?

Akito: Why don't you ask him yourself?

Jasper's Voice: No need. I can just say it out loud and in person. I made these costumes specially for you guys. I knew how you guys didn't much like dressing up as the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and the Lion from the Wizard of Oz. So, I designed costumes that would better suit you.

Akito: That doesn't explain what material you used.

Jasper: Oh that. I made a special material that works similar to the stuff that made our current outfits only the costumes out layer have a much denser layer kinda like metal while the inside is much softer so when we wear them, we're comfy.

Sheng-Long: Interesting.

Prowl: You sure are a genius, Jasper.

Jasper: Thank you.

Vlad: Where's everybody else?

Jasper: Trying on their costumes, we should try ours on and see how they look.

Vlad: Good idea. Why don't we try ours on, comrades?

Prowl: Let's go get dressed.

[The MAS dress themselves up in their respective costumes, and present themselves to Akito and Jasper]

Akito: You guys look great!

Jasper: I should get into my costume.

Vlad: What's your costume, comrade?

Jasper: This.

[He shows them a robotic raptor costume]

Vlad: Whoa...

Sheng-Long: That's rad!

Jasper: Thank you. Come on, let's go see if the others got their costumes on.

[They travel outside to the backyard of the mansion, and meet up with Fluffy, Spot, Snuggles, Drakon, Joe, Tozoku, and the others]

Drakon: Hello everyone.

Akito: Hello, Drakon. How is everybody?

Drakon: We're great. I see a good chunk of us are trying out our costumes.

Prowl: As do we all.

Drakon: Alright let's show you all some of ours.

Akito: Please do, Drakon. We're anxious to see them.

Drakon: You heard her gentlemen.

[Drakon dons a silver and gold robotic bird costume, Joe puts on a robotic anthro snake costume, Tozoku puts on a robotic otter costume, Raptor puts on a robotic raven costume, Chomper and Rex were dressed a robotic wolves, Smokey was dressed as a robotic bull, Bruce was dressed as a robotic horse, and Kashi was dressed as a robotic panther]

Sheng: Well! Get a load of those!

Jasper: I did pretty good, didn't I?

Fenrir: You sure did, Jasper. In fact, you've really outdone yourself this time.

Raptor: Yeah, perhaps we should makes these our permanent Halloween costumes.

Prowl: I guess that could work. What do you think, Fenrir?

Fenrir: I don't see why not.

Jasper: So then, when does the party start?

Fenrir: On Halloween. We were just trying on our costumes.

Jasper: Oh yes, right. I almost forgot we still have a while until then. I guess I've been working my ass off making these costumes that I lost track of time.

Joe: You should rest up mate.

Jasper: I guess you're right... (yawns) Golly what a day its been...

Vladimir: Come on, comrade. Let's get you to night-night land.

[Vlad picks up Jasper in his arms, and carries him off to bed]

Raptor: Well now what do we do for the time being?

Sheng-Long: Don't know. Why don't we ask Prowl? He usually comes up with the ideas.

Tozoku: Yeah. What do we do to pass the time?

Prowl: Well, we could just go on a tour of our own just to pass the time.

Raptor: Sounds good. But let's put these costumes up, don't want to spoil the surprise.

Prowl: Funny. I was thinking the same thing.

[The MAS put away their costumes, and don their original costumes]

Tozoku: So where do we go first?

Prowl: Why don't we head down to the park just south of here? I always enjoy the beautiful sunsets there.

Joe: Sounds good. But let's wait for our polar bear friend to come join us.

Sheng-Long: Looks like we won't have to wait for much longer.

[Vlad comes in, dressed in his regular MAS costume]

Vlad: I'm back, comrades.

Drakon: Good. Cause we're heading to the park.

Prowl: Okay then. Now that everybody's ready, let's move on out.

Akito: You guys take care. And don't be out too long. Okay?

Prowl: Don't worry, Akito. We'll be back soon.

[And with that said, the MAS and the other mutants go out on their routine walk to the park]

Fenrir: Don't worry, Aki. They'll be fine.

Akito: I'm sure they will. But sometimes I worry for their safety.

Fenrir: Well, everything is just fine. I assure you.

[As the group make their way, chatting together, they were unaware they were being watched by five mischievous figures. Hiding in the bushes were Fangster, Oni, Soduko, Sokudo, and Orenji]

Fangster: And there goes another batch of our favorite victims.

Oni: Hold on, they're short one. Where's long ears?

Fangster: I have no clue. No matter we'll get to him eventually.

Orenji: What are we waiting for? Let's get em!

Fangster: Keep your speedo on, Orenji! We'll capture them when they least expect it.

Oni: Yeah, just be patient.

Fangster: We'll let them go to their place of comfort. And when their heads are in the clouds, we'll just give them a taste of our Infato Ray to help them reach for the stars. Literally.

Orenji: (snickers) Alright.

[In the next scene, the MAS have reached the park]

Prowl: Here we are.

Joe: And now we can sit back, relax, and enjoy the sunset.

Drakon: I'm gonna get us some snacks. Any requests?

Sheng-Long: I'm good.

Drakon: How about the rest of you?

Vlad: Can you get me some candy?

Drakon: What kind of candy would you like?

Prowl: Err... Just get him some popcorn or something.

Drakon: Alright then.

Joe: I think the rest of us are just fine, mate. No worries.

Drakon: Okay then. I'll be right back.

[Drakon leaves the scenery, and the rest of the MAS rest on the grass, enjoying the sunset]

Tozoku: Now this is what I call serene.

Sheng-Long: Indeed. Nothing could go wrong.

Oni's Voice: Oh really?

Joe: Huh? Who said that?

Prowl: That voice sounded familiar...

Spot: It's that little bastard Oni!

Fluffy: Show yourself you cowardly cow!

Oni: I am a bull!

Bruce: Well whatever the hell you are, show yourself!

Oni: Fine.

[Oni appeared out of nowhere]

Spot: What are you doing back here?!

Oni: Why should I tell you?

Prowl: I think I know exactly the reason why you've shown your rosy red ass here, Oni; you're here to cause trouble again!

Oni: And what if I am?

Tozoku: So it's our business! Now beat it before you get us mad!

Sheng-Long: Don't force us to resort to violence!

[The MAS all assume a stance in Oni's presence]

Oni: Now, now. No need to blow this out of proportion. Speaking of which...

Prowl: Huh?

[Sokudo and Sokudo come out with the inflato rays]

Both: What's up?

MAS: You?!

[The two cheetahs fire their Inflato-Rays at the MAS soldiers, and they instantly grow and expand to the size of giant parade balloons, and hover off the ground by several yards. They are shocked at what's happened]

Sheng-Long: Hey!

Prowl: What the?!

Joe: Oh bloody hell!

Oni: Guess that answers the question of what's up; you guys!

Snuggles: Sacre-Bleu! What's the meaning of this?

Vlad: Why are you doing this?

Soduko: We got something special planned this Halloween.

Sokudo: And you guys are gonna help us pull it off.

Prowl: Like hell we will!

[Oni looks up at the inflated victims. He reajusts his belt and speedo, and places his hands on his hip with his groin positioned out]

Oni: Oh but you will! You have no choice in the matter! But don't worry, you guys are not alone, there are others we've captured who are just WAITING for you to keep them company! Right, guys?

Soduko: You got that right.

Oni: Well, we'd best be making tracks. Come along now.

[Oni uses his magic to direct the inflated victims' flight pattern, and as the villains make their getaway, the ballooned-up victims follow along]

Sheng-Long: However did we get ourselves into this?

Prowl: Calm down, Sheng. This isn't the first time this has happened to us.

Vladimir: He is right about that, comrade.

Rex: I hate to be pessimistic, but that's not helping with our situation...

Chomper: I agree! And who knows what these creeps have in store for us?

[Soon, they are brought back to the domain, where the villains unload the cargo, and bring all the ballooned up victims into the storage facility with all the others they captured. Fangster stands proud. And as he stands by the door along with the other baddies, he stares up at the victims with a big toothy grin on his face. Standing with his hands on his hips and his groin positioned out, Fangster chuckles]

Fangster: This just keeps getting better and better!

Oni: Our collection isn't yet complete though. We still have a few more victims to capture.

Fangster: Patience my little devil, patience. All in due time. Now... (turns to inflated victims) You guys have fun together, and do whatever you can to amuse yourselves! We'll be back soon! Tata!

[Fangster takes a step back, and closes the door on the inflated victims. And as the ballooned-up anthros continue to hover around the room helplessly, they look around them to see the other victims that were captured]

Prowl: Talon?

Talon: Prowl?

Vlad: Claw?

Rex: Brain?

Chomper: Blag? Scuzzy? Gaichu?

Spot: Exile? Spike?

Bruce: Taurus?

Fluffy: Wolf?

Exile: Comrades?

Spike: Guys?

Everybody: What are you doing here?

Prowl: Okay, one at a time. Can someone explain to me, just what is going on here?

Brooklyn: If we knew that we would tell.

Sheng: So no one knows what they got in store for us?

Taurus: Pretty much.

Brain: Great... This is just great...

Tubby's Voice: Oh but I know the answer to that.

[Everybody looks to where the voice was coming from, and they see an inflated Tubby hovering along side them]

Prowl: Tubby?

Tubby: The one and only!

Prowl: I don't believe it! Oni did this to you too?

Tubby: Yeah! And he did it to Splinter and Yoshi here as well!

Sheng: And you're not at all distressed by this?

Tubby: Absolutely not! I LOVE being a balloon! And so do my friends here!

Prowl: So what are we all doing here?

Tubby: We've all been selected to participate in a very special Halloween parade!

Brain: And where do we fit into this mess?

Tubby: They apparently wanted you guys to join in since you guys do it all the time.

Brain: But I only did this once! What are you talking about?

Prowl: But the rest of us do this on an almost regular basis. In fact, it's pretty much something we do for a living.

Sheng-Long: Ever since Akito's birthday...

Bruce: But we all pretty much got accustomed to it.

Talon: Yeah, me too. And so did the rest of us.

Caspian: But this is my first time being blown up like this...

Tubby: Regardless if some of you are new to this or not, they seem to find you guys worthy candidates to take part in their plan.

Talon: And what about you? Aren't you aware that your so-called friend is using you as well?

Tubby: Actually, I'm not gonna partake in any of it.

Prowl: Don't be so sure of that, Tubby. You never know when Oni may change his mind.

Caspian: What are we going to do?

Griff: Nothing. There's nothing we can do about it now.

Exile: But we have to try at least!

Prowl: Trust me, we'd only be wasting our strength. Even though we have many advantages with our bodies all ballooned-up like this, there's no way we can get out of here.

Fluffy: Oh crap...

Spot: (sigh) So I guess all we can do is just... Float around this room?

Prowl: That, and just hope and pray for a miracle. Drakon hasn't been captured. So he'll no doubt warn Akito of the situation.

Tubby: Awe come on, guys! Why don't you stay balloons forever? It's really not so bad! You just got to adjust to it!

Sheng-Long: We already have adjusted to it! But we don't intend to spend the rest of our lives like this!

Tubby: Sheesh!

Taurus: Calm down, everybody. Just remember a lot worse can happen.

Talon: And I fear the worst is yet to come.

Wolf: (muffled whimpering)

[Meanwhile, our attention is now focused on Road Rover HQ]

Connor: Guys, where is my dad?

Tsunami: Anata no otosan?

Connor: Yes!

Tsunami: I haven't seen him or heard from him since.

Roger: Where and when was the last time you've seen him?

Connor: Last I saw him was when he left with Spike to do their usual routine at noon.

Tsunami: Let me guess, self-inflation?

Connor: No! Warming up for their wrestling competition!

Hunter: Did you call Tyke and Mike? Perhaps he's with Spike there.

Connor: I called them, but they said they haven't seen their father either. They said he simply disappeared, and was never seen or heard from again.

Huntress: That isn't good. You think something happened to them?

Connor: I don't know... All I know is that Spike and my father are both missing.

Colleen: Don't worry, luv. We'll get to the bottom of this. And we'll find them.

Boomer: Yeah, but we should call Akito in case Drakon hasn't returned home yet.

Colleen: I got this...

[Colleen reaches into her jacket for her cell-phone, and dials Akito's phone number]

Ace: Well?

Colleen: Hang on, its ringing.

[Akito answers her phone]

Akito: Hello?

Colleen: Hello Aki. It's Colleen.

Akito: Oh hello, Colleen. What's up?

Colleen: Aki... Have you heard that Exile and Spike have recently disappeared?

Akito: No, this is the first I heard of it.

Colleen: I see. Well, Connor just came by to inform us about the situation. And on top of that, there has been reports of other people vanishing without so much as a trace.

Akito: Who do you think is doing this?

Colleen: I don't know. All that is certain is that something is most definitely not right. And there's something fishy going on around here.

Akito: I just hope Prowl and the others didn't up and vanish too.

[Suddenly, Drakon comes rushing into the room to give Fenrir and Akito the bad news]

Drakon: Aki, Fenrir, our friends have been kidnapped!

Fenrir: What? By who?

Drakon: By Oni and some of our other thorns in the sides, Fangster, Orenji, Sokudo, and Soduko.

Akito: Them again?! I should have known!

Fenrir: How do you know it was them? Have you seen them? And have you seen what happened?

Drakon: I saw them take off as soon as I returned.

Akito: Do you know if the others are okay?

Drakon: Yes. But apparently they were all blown up like balloons when the five scoundrels escaped with them.

Fenrir: Just what are they up to this time?

Drakon: I was wondering the same thing.

Akito: Whatever it is, we're going to get to the bottom of it. Drakon, get Sulea, Taki, and whoever is around in the neighborhood. Because we will meet with the Road Rovers.

[Suddenly, Maggie, Una, and Lunette appear]

Fenrir: Ladies?

Maggie: Fenrir! It's an emergency! Derek and the rest of the Mutates have been abducted!

Una: Griff, Leo and Caspian have been kidnapped too!

Fenrir: Who were the kidnappers? Can you describe them for me?

Una: One of them was a red werewolf wearing a green leotard, the other was a red midget bull.

Fenrir: Red midget bull? Was he wearing an custard yellow jacket and a black speedo?

Lunette: Yes.

Fenrir: It figures... It's Oni...

Drakon: That little bastard just doesn't know when to quit, does he?

Maggie: None of them do.

Fenrir: Come, we must consult the Road Rovers at once. Our friends are in trouble, and action is to be taken.

Akito: Right.

[Meanwhile with Typhoon and Serena they were scuba diving near Flordia when they spotted something in ice]

Typhoon: Serena, are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Serena: I think so, Typhoon! What is that?

Typhoon: Looks like ice. Can't tell what's inside it though.

Serena: Let's take a closer look!

[They do so and much to their shock they saw Tatsu in it]

Typhoon: Crikey, its our mate, Tatsu!

Serena: What?! What's he doing here?!

Typhoon: I don't know! But we gotta help him!

Serena: I'll get the crane!

[Serena uses a crane to crab hold of the ice cube floating in the water, and she drags the frozen Tatsu on board their boat]

Typhoon: Good going, Serena. But now we gotta get him out of the ice.

[Suddenly the ice turns red and then a pillar of fire emerged instantly melting the ice]

Serena: Well that was convenient.

[Tatsu lands on his feet, and shakes off the ice from his body]

Tatsu: Alright where is the crimson cow?! I'm gonna make barbecue out of him and his gang!

Typhoon: Whoa! Whoa! Calm down there, mate! Who is this crimson cow you're talking about?

Serena: I think we'd better start from the beginning. Now, tell me, what exactly happened? What can you remember?

Tatsu: I was on the beach with Taurus and then he got zapped with some weird gun that blew him up like a balloon.

Typhoon: What?!

Tatsu: You heard me, a gun that literally blows you up like a balloon!

Serena: So what else happened?

Tatsu: I tried to save him but then that crimson cow Oni froze me solid!

Typhoon: And then?

Tatsu: That's all I remember.

Serena: I see.

Tatsu: Come on! We gotta find where they're keeping Taurus! And I want to teach those jerks a lesson they won't soon forget!

Typhoon: We will mate, don't worry.

Tatsu: I swear when I get my hands on those lousy creeps, I'll make them pay!

Serena: Control yourself, we gotta inform Akito or the Rovers.

[In the next scene, Akito gathers a meeting with the Road Rovers and their remaining allies]

Akito: Good, we're all here. Let's get this meeting out of the way.

Maggie: We already know who the culprits are! I say we track them down and make them pay for their crimes! And rescue Derek and the others!

Una: Calm down, Maggie, we must use reason, not emotion.

Tsunami: Hai.

Hunter: From what Drakon told us, we all know its Fangster, Oni, Sokudo, Soduko, and Orenji.

Roger: But where are the culprits? They could be anywhere at this moment!

Hunter: That's going to be the tricky part, pinpointing their location.

Jasper: Then that means we're going to have to find a way to trace them. They'll most likely come after me since I wasn't with Prowl and the others.

Fenrir: And they will most likely come after me, Drakon, and anyone else they deem worthy enough to become balloons.

Drakon: So we need a plan.

Jasper: And while we do that, I can try to track them down and find where they might strike next.

Akito: Do what you can guys. We need to know where they will make their next move so we can apprehend them. And we've got to rescue our friends.

Jasper: Right. Let's get to work.

[The groups of heroes make preparations for their next plan of action against the villains. But the questions remain; where are the villains' main hideout? Where will they strike next? Who will they target next to transform into balloons? And what is their motive? What do they plan to do with all their ballooned-up victims once their collection is complete? And what can our heroes do to save their friends? Find out next time on part 3 of "Extreme Halloween Insanity."]
