01x19 - Vacation

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:

The w*r between the Autobots

and the Decepticons rages on

as they struggle to retrieve

the prized Mini-Cons.

There are new and more powerful

Mini-Cons surfacing every day.

If the Decepticons

prove victorious,

then Megatron

and his enslaved Mini-Cons

will control the universe.

The Earth's only chance

for a peaceful cosmos

is for Optimus Prime

and the Autobots

to destroy their enemy

and free all Mini-Cons.

Now get ready

for a new battle.

♪ Transformers ♪

RAD:

Hi, I'm Rad.

And what might look like

a normal summer day

isn't going to last.

Trust me.

I mean, when you're caught

in a w*r between Autobots

and Decepticons,

nothing is normal anymore.

So it looks like clear skies

today and plenty of sunshine.

And that's a look

at Channel Four weather.

Gotcha!



( gasps )

For Channel Four

Eyewitness weather,

I'm Kelly Baumgartner.

( laughing )



( grunts )

Hey!



Mommy!

( crying )

Nice kid.



Why, the nerve

of that little rug rat.

Doesn't he know who I am?

At this rate,

I will never make it to network.

ALEXIS:

On the surface, things around

here look pretty tame, right?

It looks like it, but it

never stays calm for long.

We're gonna try

to take a mini vacation,

But the battle

between the Transformers

is still raging on big-time,

and hopefully the Autobots

can finish off the Decepticons

so we can attempt to have

a semi-normal day.

( both grunting )

We'd become friends

with the Autobots,

and luckily one of them,

Scavenger,

knew where to find

the Decepticon base.

What?

Where did

everyone go?

( alarm blares )

Huh?

The launch gate.

Are we under attack, Optimus?



No.

Okay, then. We've detected

a Mini-Con, right?

I'll head to the Command Center

and get coordinates.

Now let's roll.

CARLOS:

Hey, yo, wait up, dudes.

Let's get this

show on the road.

I brought along

my inhaler.

Come on,

what are you waiting for?

Yeah, let's go.



Wait.

Huh, what's up?

Where do you think

you're going, Carlos?

Going camping. You got a problem

with that, Alexis?

Optimus said it was cool

to get a little R & R.

RAD:

What's the holdup, you guys?

How come nobody

told me about this?

And why exactly

wasn't I invited?

You mean you didn't

tell her yet, Rad?

Hey, you were gonna e-mail her.



Huh?

( sighs )

Oh, so you thought you

could just take off camping

and leave

the girl behind, huh?

Didn't think I'd ever

find out?

Well, you can just take

your little plan--

OPTIMUS:

We should always

cross-check our plans.

Yeah, what he said.

My apologies, Alexis,

but you should still

join them.

There's no way

I'm going with them now.

We just forgot

to tell you, Alexis, okay?

Give me a break.

I'm not buying that one.

Do you think I'm dumb?

No, of course not.

No.

Okay, fine.

Go ahead and have your

boy's-only adventure.

I'll just stay here and watch

the Decepticons

take over the universe while

you guys roast marshmallows.

And don't think I'm jealous

of you either. In your dreams.

Boy, she sounds

really mad, Carlos.

Hey, Rad, you think

she'll ever forgive us?

Excuse me, losers,

but I have work to do,

and I wouldn't want

to interfere with your plans.

Oh, what a mess.

ALEXIS:

Right, like they forgot.

Hmph!

RAD: Catch you later.



CARLOS: See you around.

( groans )

RED ALERT:

We have liftoff.

Right behind you.

Like I really care.

Ugh, humans.

Camping.

Give me a break.

No hot showers,

no electricity.

And besides, I heard it's

supposed to rain all weekend.

( beeps )

Uh, you think I should have

told them it's gonna rain?

( warbled beeping )

Hey, they could've checked

the forecast too.

And I'm not gonna spend

my whole weekend feeling guilty

about it either.

I've got better things to do.

( upbeat theme playing )

MEGATRON:

It is time to commence

our Decepticon one-on-one

combat training exercise.

Please pay close attention,

and I shall demonstrate

the power

of the Star Saber.

Who's my first victim?

DEMOLISHER:

C-c-c-can't we just

stand here and watch, sir?

MEGATRON:

There's no entity in the cosmos

powerful enough to stand up

to my ultimate w*apon.

Which makes me

master of the universe.

( grunts )

This is such a waste

of my time.

( gravel crumbling )



Huh?

You were saying,

Sideways?

Uh, I hate those

Autobot slime!

( chuckling ):

Let the training begin.

( yelling )

( screams )

RAD:

Geronimo!

( Smokescreen laughing )

SMOKESCREEN:

Sure is nice seeing the kids

having some fun for once.

RED ALERT:

It's like Optimus said,

everyone needs

a little R & R every so often.

Huh?



Well, Smokescreen,

after days

and months of endless combat,

sometimes we can all

lose sight of what

we're battling for

in the first place.

SMOKESCREEN:

So, what you're saying

is everyone needs

a little downtime to clear

their mainframes, right?

RED ALERT:

Exactly. You sure catch on fast

for a warrior bot.

( Smokescreen chuckles )

Hey, you guys.

Quit your yapping and come in.

The water's great.

SMOKESCREEN: Well, uh--



What are you afraid of,

rusting or something?

We're on vacation, remember?

RED ALERT:

Well, I don't know.

( yelling )

( laughing ):

Okay.

I'm not going in,

but maybe I can still join in.

( all laugh )

Hey, you're giving me

a wedgie!

Ah!

Ow.

That hurts.

( gasps )

Refreshing.

( laughing )

SMOKESCREEN:

Hey, Rad, what are you up to?

Ah, I'm just fishing.



Oh?

RAD:

And then we'll fry it up

for dinner.

Interesting. And you can

catch a fish like that?

Hopefully.

When I was a kid, this whole

river was full of fish.

That was,

until they put up the dam.

Let me help you.

Maybe they're

just not running today.

What'd you do?

I thought I'd give you

a hand fishing.

( laughs )

But you'll never

catch anything like that.

SMOKESCREEN ( laughing ):

I like this.

( all laugh )

( giggles )

KELLY:

Why in the world

did they send us out

to the middle

of nowhere?

Because there's

supposed to be a downpour,

and we've gotta

get sh*ts of the dam.

Hey, hang on

a second.

I predicted sunshine.

What the...

( all chattering )



CARLOS: Come on, Red.

I'll give you a wedgie.

( laughing )

Whoa!

ROGER:

Hey, what's up?

I'm not really sure,

Roger.

It looks like a bunch of kids

down there.

Hey, what's that?

ROGER:

Looks like construction

equipment to me.

Those kids are probably

just using it to dive off of.

No big deal.

Wait a minute.

Hey, stop. Stop.

I thought I saw something.

ROGER:

Yeah, you saw a bunch of kids

playing in the water.

Not what I'd call

a big scoop, Kelly.

KELLY:

No, serious. I saw robots.

ROGER:

That's the best one

I've heard all day.

( thunder rumbling )

( laughing )

Oh, boy,

this is a blast.

Hey, yo, kid, you can't tell

anyone about the robots.

And if you do, who would

believe you anyways, huh?

My lips are sealed.

CARLOS:

Hey, you know what, kid?

You're okay.

Now, could you

get off my neck?

SEAN:

Sorry.

Robots rule

the universe!

SEAN'S DAD:

Sean!

Huh?

Over here, Dad!

Sean, I think it's time we

head back to the campground.

A storm's moving in.

( thunder crashes )

I see you made

some new friends, buddy.

Dad, those trucks

over there can talk.

Yeah,

sure they can.

What? Huh?

SEAN'S DAD:

Now, Sean, remember that story

I told you about the boy

who cried wolf?

SEAN:

But, Dad, it's true.

CARLOS:

Oh, man, this is just great.

I thought Kelly,

the Channel Four weather girl,

said it was supposed

to be sunny.

SMOKESCREEN:

Boys, shouldn't you be thinking

about

getting a little shut-eye?

Come on, just one more hand?



Yeah.

This rain's a drag.

I'll bet you Alexis,

the goddess of thunder, did it.

CARLOS: Go to sleep already.



All right.

I guess there's nothing else

for us to do out here anyway.

Look at that.

It's pouring.

KELLY ( over TV ):

According to the weather

office,

there are new

flash flood warnings.

Heavy rain will continue

overnight,

and officials here

at Stevston Dam

predict the water to exceed

flood levels by morning.

If that's the case,

the lower gates will be opened

to relieve pressure

on the dam.

It will cause severe flooding

along the river below the dam.

Kelly Baumgartner, Channel Four

Eyewitness weather.

That's where the guys are.

CARLOS:

Oh, man. We're going home?

RED ALERT:

Yes, It's far too dangerous

to stay put down here.

Come on,

let's stay put and ride it out.

Or we could

raft down the rapids.

Uh, I don't think we

should mess with nature, guys.

RED ALERT:

Let's stop the chitchat

and pack up, stat.

SEAN:

Hey, guys!

Carlos,

take a look over there.

Hey, guys, I'm over here.

I'm over here.

Hey, kid,

just hold on.

( flood siren wailing

distantly )

Okay, guys,

I got a plan.

BILLY:

Aw, this really sucks

having to go home.

I don't mind.

( giggling ):

All right!

I knew

you'd make it.

Hey, kid, what are you

doing out here?

And where are your parents at?

I came to say

goodbye to you.

Uh...huh?

ALL:

Huh?

OPTIMUS:

Sorry, Alexis,

but they're not back yet.

I am really worried

about them, Optimus.

They're camping

just below the dam.

My men will

look after them.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe there's

nothing to worry about.

They're probably

just fine.

( chuckling ):

Let's check to make sure.

( button beeps )

Red Alert, Smokescreen.

Come in.

CARLOS ( over speaker ):

Optimus, we got a problem.

Huh?



Hey, you guys, hurry.

Red Alert and Carlos

were both buried in a mudslide.

OPTIMUS: Hm.



Oh, this sounds serious.

RAD:

Smokescreen's digging for them

right now,

but we've got an even

bigger problem.

A little kid's buried under

all that muck with them.

Sean! Sean!

OPTIMUS:

Stay calm, boys.

Red Alert, transform.

He can't.

People are watching.

Optimus, please.

You gotta bend the rules

and let him transform.

We don't have time.

This is

Kelly Baumgartner,

reporting live from the scene

of a gruesome mudslide.

Huh?



Digging equipment is on scene,

and frantically trying

to unearth a vehicle

that is alleged

to be buried in the rubble,

along with two young boys.

Come on, I need a close-up

for my network résumé.

ROGER:

I'm trying.

Oh no,

they're on TV.

Now there's no way

Red Alert can transform

without being seen.

What's the plan,

Optimus?

We dig them out

at any cost.

What about

Decepticons?

We'll worry about them later.

( upbeat theme playing )

Begin launch sequence.

Launch.

I'm right behind you.

It's go time.

SEAN:

I'm scared. I'm so scared.

Don't worry, kid, they'll get us

out of here in no time.

Right, Red Alert?

They'll get us out of here.



Anytime now.

See?

( thunder crashes )

KELLY:

With each passing second,

the situation here below the dam

becomes more critical.

It's a race against time

trying to unearth the boys.

Work is frantic, because

once they open the dam gates,

this entire canyon

will be flooded. And look.

There doesn't seem to be anyone

operating the heavy equipment.

( siren wailing distantly )



Is that a siren?

Must be some kind

of warning.

I say we get

out of here, and quick.

Oh, and you call yourself

a photojournalist?

I don't care what you think,

but I'm sure

as heck not crazy.

Give me that.

You coward.



Hey.

Suit yourself.

SEAN'S DAD:

Hey, out of my way!

My boy Sean's in there!

No, you gotta stay back.

Help's on the way.

See?

Hurry!

You gotta save my son!

What's the problem?

Come on,

let's clear out.

These guys

know what they're doing.

I'm not leaving here.



( engine revs )

( groans )



Help him inside, Rad, pronto.

SCAVENGER:

Hey, Smokescreen, any luck yet?

Nothing,

but keep digging.

We're running

out of time.

OPTIMUS:

Let's pick up the pace, men.

Rad, time to evacuate.

Gotcha.

Hey, what's up,

Laserbeak?

You can feel the intensity

in the air

as more rescue vehicles

arrive here on the scene.

It was only a few minutes ago

when they sounded

a warning siren.

And now, with only seconds

to spare,

it's a race against time

to rescue two young,

innocent victims trapped under

thousands of tons of earth.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

( gasps )

Gee, sorry about that, Kelly.

Oh, no, they've opened

the floodgates.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunts )

You-- You think

they'll be all right?

I hope so.

I really hope so.

RED ALERT:

Wait a minute. Yes.

I can see daylight.

They've found us.

( sighs )

SMOKESCREEN:

I got them!

SCAVENGER:

Hurry, haul them out.

( tires screech )

There's no time

to lose, men.

Good work, Smokescreen.

And just in time too.

Not a chance, pal.

I remember Optimus once told me

that when you feel intense

about something,

express yourself.

Well, let's just say

that when I catch up to Carlos,

I'll let him know

exactly how I feel.
