12x34 - Drawn into Danger

[bunniefuu]

Whoa!

Goal! The young rookie takes down the
Mighty McKnight in a stunning upset!

Where'd you learn to do
a slide tackle like that?

l played in a league when l was little.
l've still got some moves.

Good, 'cause l need a practice partner.
How about tomorrow at Oam?

l can't. Carson Brady's going to
the cybercafe to sign his latest novel.

- There's no way l'm missing that.
- Isn't he your comic book god?

He's the best. l'm so stoked
l actually get to meet him.

l still need a practice partner,
so l guess you're the lucky one.

Gentlemen, l trust you have a permit
to use the field after school hours.

Of course.

Yes, well, it does seem to be in order.

May l suggest some antifungal spray?

Have a nice day, Miss Randall!

This is going to be fabulous.

Whatever it is you're concocting,
it smells putrid.

lf you think it smells bad,
wait until you see what it does.

And exactly how will this
new plan of yours

bring down the Rangers?

Haven't you ever heard the saying,
''The pen is mightier than the sword?''

Hi, thanks for being here.

Oh, Cass, hey, would you tell me again
why we're dressed like this.

lt's called an undercover
assignment, Devin.

lf we're going to do a report
on comic book fandom,

we have to get inside the culture.

Look around. All these freaks
and geeks are dressed this way.

lt's just my tights,
they're a little tight.

And l think they might
cut off my circulation.

Some superhero you are.

Hi, thanks for being here.

- Mr Brady, this is such an honour.
- Please, call me Carson.

- Would you mind?
- A first edition

of Lexicon Extreme. Haven't
seen one of these for a while.

l've been collecting your stuff
from the beginning.

You were my inspiration
to draw comics.

l'm flattered. l'd love to see
your work some time.

Seriously? That would be amazing.

- l always ty to support new artists.
- Can you talk to my dad for me.

He doesn't think being a comic book
artist is the wisest career choice?

Yeah, l think it falls
somewhere on his list

bemeen being a reality show host
and a dog walker.

My father felt the same way,

but when he saw how happy it made me,
he came around. l bet yours will.

l doubt it, but thanks.

Excuse me, excuse me, children.
This won't take a minute.

Mr Brady, it's such
a pleasure to meet you.

Thanks. You can call me Carson.

And you can call me Principal Randall.

You are such a wonderFul artist.

l love the way you draw
those little pictures.

Please, accept this gift
from one of your biggest fans.

Thanks.
l can never have too many pens.

Perhaps you could use it
on your new project.

Yeah. l guess. Why not?

Promise?

- OK.
- Fabulous.

l'll hold you to that.

Principal Randall?
Since when is she a comic book fan?

Maybe she's undercover too.

She could be, like,
an evil she-villain in disguise.

You watch far too much TV.

Let's go, Ethan! Good iob.

Go, Ethan, come on, you can do it.

Wow, Ethan actually has some game.

He wasn't hit by some weird
personality-altering meteor again?

Nah.

What the...?

- Dr O, your thoughts on this.
- No clue.

- This is crazy.
- What's happening?

Hang on, guys.
Let's take a look.

Check that out!

OK, any guesses on where we are?

l'm thinking alternate dimension.

l'm thinking comic-book dimension!
This is awesome!

My experience with this kinda place
is... not so awesome.

Let's just be careful.
Keep our eyes open.

No problem there.
l don't want to miss anything.

Not bad. Cool characters.

OK, Ethan, you're the comic book
expert. What do we do now?

l usually just read them. Going
inside, this is a whole new thing.

l am Fridgia, who are you?

How dare you invade my kingdom?
Intruders must be destroyed!

Please tell me someone brought
a really big eraser.

Leave this place!

Hope we can get our morph on
in this place.

- Ready?
- Ready!

Dino Thunder, power up!

Dino Power!

You dare to challenge me
with your colourFul costumes?

Come on!

Here's what real power feels like.

Lasers!

Fire!

Again!

You can't destroy me!

Tricera Shield!

Whoa!

Tyranno Staff!

Ptera Grips!

Brachio staff. Energy Orb!

- Is that snow?
- How can it be?

lt's her world, she makes the rules.

Time to break a few.

Looks like you could use a pick-me-up.

l've been up all night drawing.
Guess it shows.

- Hey, Carson. What's up?
- Just who l stopped by to see.

My new comic. Thought you might like
to see it before it hits the stands.

- You're kidding?
- No, l finished it last night.

l can't believe how fast l wrote it.

l was drawing like
l was possessed or something.

This is great. Thanks.

l hope you like it.
l gotta get it to my publisher. Bye.

See ya.

- That's weird.
- What is it?

Look!

You'll regret entering
my frozen kingdom.

Like we had a choice.

This is getting old.
Trent, we need your help!

''Trent, we need your help?'' How...?
You don't think they're really in here?

Keep looking.

Look at this, it's got Conner,
Kira, Ethan. It's too real.

Tommy's in there, too. You didn't
say anything to Carson, did you?

- No.
- See how it ends.

l'm not sure l want to.

Trent, what happens?

The Power Rangers don't survive.

There's got to be an explanation
for this. How come l'm not in here?

Maybe it's a warped plan to have you
see the others destroyed first.

- Where are you going?
- l've got to find Carson!

Fool.

Dr O!

- Think it's Triassic time?
- Oh, yeah!

Carson! Wait up!

- Hey, Trent. What's going on?
- You tell me.

- What's the deal with this comic?
- What do you mean?

- l told you, l finished last night.
- Why do the Rangers lose?

To tell you the truth,
l don't remember drawing half of it.

lt's iust a blur.

You said you felt like
you were possessed.

Well, yeah. l got this new pen

and the ideas just started
flowing out of me.

- You can't get that comic published.
- Are you crazy?

This is the best work
l've done in years.

Nobody's gonna stop me
from publishing it.

Mind stepping back a minute?

OK.

White Ranger, Dino Power!

ls this some sort of trick?

No, l thought this was the only way
you'd listen to me.

- Wow, and you were jealous of my job.
- Listen, we don't have much time.

Somehow the other Rangers
got trapped inside your comic book.

- l've got to get them out.
- Whatever l can do to help.

- What do you need?
- Give me the pen.

l think l know how to change
the ending of your stoy.

There.

Huh? Oh.

- Connor!
- Now to banish you forever.

Hang tough, guys.

Goodbye, Rangers.
This is your final chapter. Wha...?

This stoy's not over yet.

Trent!

- Ready, guys?
- Yeah! Super Dino Mode!

Tyranno Power, Red Ranger!

Tricera Power, Blue Ranger!

Ptera Power, Yellow Ranger!

Brachio Power, Black Ranger!

Drago Power, White Ranger!

Full power!

Use your Dino gems.

lt's working, my energy's growing.

What is this?

l'm melting!

We did it!

A much better ending.

Excuse me while l geek out.
This is too much!

- Thanks for all your help.
- No problem.

You can't escape me that easily!

Looks like we've got another chapter.

Yeah, l'll just let you guys
handle this.

Right.

- Nobody invited you here.
- No matter. l will rule this land

as my new kingdom!

Are you through?
'Cause l am. Shield of Triumph!

Triassic Power!

Battliser! Engage!

Oh, yeah!

Energise!

Fire kick!

Super fire power!

Super arm-stretch.

Huh?

Hello!

- Let me go!
- Ifyou say so.

Dragon yo-yo!

Cannons, battle blast!

Fire!

- Nice work!
- That did it.

You can't make this stuff up.

That was amazing.

- The pen. Do you mind?
- l insist.

lt's gotta go.

The pen is mightier
than the sword, eh?

My patience with you
is running low, Elsa.

- So is your power over Anton Mercer.
- Silence!

l told you never to use
that fool's name in my presence!

l'm only saying, my lord,
that Merc...

l mean, that fool
threatens to ruin our plans.

No-one will ruin my plans.

You should only wory
about if you will be around

to see them come to pass.

l can't believe you wanted to
collaborate on a comic book with me.

This has been so incredible.

Who knows superheroes
better than you?

l mean...
because you draw them so well.

Thanks.

Seriously, Trent,
l think you have real talent.

And your publisher was cool with you
writing with an unknown artist?

Not exactly. We had to find
someone else to fund it.

Some big corporate guy...
Anton Mercer, l think was his name,

bankrolled the whole thing.
Seems like a good guy.

Hey, Cassidy, do you mind
if we wrap up this assignment?

- l think l might be getting a rash.
- l, unlike you, am totally suited

to the life of a superhero.
Fighting evil at evey turn,

laughing in the face of danger.

Oh, wait a minute,
l need a catchy name.

- How about Super Snob?
- Mega Ego?

No, something more like...
Fantasta Girl!

- Help! Somebody just stole my bike!
- Wait!

That sounds like a job
for Fantasta Girl and Devin!

How gross! l am not a super hero,
l'm a television personality.
