Ok, boys, everyone ready to find Beth and see what her take is on all this?

Mike: Yeah.

Peter: I want my pants back. :p

Micky: Ready and rarin'.

Davy: I'm ready, mates.

(We open outside, in a garden of brilliant, perfectly planted flowers, bushes and shrubs...some of which are moving and tending to the ones that don't. Mike, Davy, and Marlena wander among the bushes.)

Davy: Wow, this is a beautiful garden!

Mike: This is crazy. What are we lookin' for again?

Marlena: We're looking for your two robot friends, Omaheddon, the Grand Imperial Leader, or the meaning of life. Take your choice. (Looks around) Yeah, it is nice. We underworlers don't often get in these nice parts of town. They tend to scream and faint when they see us, or something.

Mike: I thought we were lookin' for the meanin' of life. ;)

Marlena: Well, we're not going to find any of the above standing around. And could someone find Juniper? He probably ran into the female version of his species and got interested. :p

Davy: Maybe if we're lucky we'll find out the meaning of life in the process. ;)

Mike: (Groans) Juniper is a movin' tree. How the HELL are we supposed to find him in a garden?

Marlena: Have you ever seen a horny tree?

Davy: No, but there's a first time for everything.

Mike: I think we found him. (Indicates where two small trees, one with pink flowers, are bent over each other)

Marlena: (Shakes her head and goes over to them) Juniper, I hate to break up your little romance, but we kind of need you right now. You can wait until mating season.

Juniper: (Nods at the female tree, which seems to blush) I am sorry, Cherry Blossom. We will meet at 7 o’clock at the Laurel Fantasia Gardens in East Klopnicka.

Cherry Blossom: That is good. (She takes off as quickly as she can. Juniper turns to them)

Juniper: She will call me. I gave her my photophone number.

Marlena: Juniper, I'm glad you got a girl, but could we return to the matter at hand...or leaf?

Juniper: Have you been successful in finding your friends, Omaheddon, or the Grand Imperial Leader?

Mike: No, and I'm gettin' worried. Maybe we ought to call the others and see if they've had any luck. (Looks at Davy) You wanna do it, or me? In other words, would we be more likely to get through to Pete or Mick?

Davy: Probably Petah, knowing 'ow Mick can get so easily distracted. ;)

Mike: Ok, I'll do it. (Opens his watch communicator) Pete? Peter, come in, it's Mike!

Peter: (We see him, a bit frazzled...and still in a dress) Michael? Is that you?

Mike: Yeah, it's me. We're here, all four of us, though we haven't had any luck in findin' anyone but another member of Juniper's species.

Peter: We're doing better. We found Emilio! :D

Mike: Hey, that's great! Is he ok?

Peter: (Over his shoulder) Hey, Emilio, are you ok?

Emilio: Better, thank you. :)

Mike: Great. Have you seen Omaheddon, Beth, or the Great Empire Whatever?

Peter: The Leader guy is at lunch, and Omaheddon is somewhere in the building. We...um, we kind of caught him trying to turn Emilio into an evil secret weapon, and he gave us away. Mike, we've got to get out of here. Omaheddon knows about us, and we think he's the one behind the harmonic destructors and controlling the music.

Mike: Oh, shit. Have you seen Beth?

Peter: No, we haven't. Emilio, have you seen Beth around?

Emilio: Not since we got here.

Mike: Great. Well, I guess we'll keep lookin' for her.

Peter: Michael, I'm scared! I don't think I want to be here anymore! Omaheddon isn't very nice, and the Grand Imperial Leader has all these crazy machines that we don't even know what they do! :o

Mike: Pete, it'll be ok. Really. I don't think this so-called "Leader" is gonna be a problem. It's Omaheddon we're gonna have to do somethin' about. (Sighs) Meet us at the front door in fifteen minutes. We're in the garden now.

Marlena: Oh, shit, here comes Oma the Amazing Ass and his Ass Club! :p

Davy: Great. :P

Mike: Pete, I gotta let you go. We're about to have company. See you in fifteen. (He shuts off the communicator)

Juniper: Everyone, behind me. I will keep you safe.

Marlena: (Sighs) Don't ask, just do what he says!

Davy: Not gonna argue. ;)

(The three ducks behind Juniper...who closes his eyes, settles down, and looks exactly like any old ornamental tree. Actually, we cut to what IS an ornamental tree, without the football eye, with the others behind it. Omaheddon and Beth, followed by Omaheddon's squadron, come out to the garden. Omaheddon is NOT a happy creature.)

Omaheddon: (Looks at Beth) Damn it, they got away! X(

Beth: Don't worry, we'll find then.

Omaheddon: We'd BETTER. You KNOW we built you as a spy. We BUILT you to capture those young men after we saw those flickers of their shows. They could do some major damage to the harmonic destructors...and if they find out about the Grand Imperial Leader...

Beth: I know, I know! :P

Omaheddon: We can't have them getting in the way of my plan! Don't you want to help me and our Imperial Worshipfullness clear the planet of...undeseriables?

(Marlena AND Mike growl. X()

Omaheddon: Don't you want to help me with the overcrowding on this planet?

Beth: Of course! You know I do!

Omaheddon: You do? The way you looked at the other robot...

Beth: You like my acting skills? ;)

Omaheddon: They're almost too good.

*Beth grins.*

(Mike clentches his fist, growling a bit louder. X( )

Mike: (Softly) She was puttin' Emilio on. I don't care if he's a robot, that's gonna hurt.

Davy: That's awful.

Omaheddon: (Runs his fingers over Beth's arm) You don't have...feelings...for that other robot, do you?

Beth: *still grinning* None whatsoever.

Omaheddon: Good. We could use a good robot like you, Beth. We're going to weed out the Underworld.

Marlena: (Growls herself) WHAT! X(

Beth: And I'll be more than happy to help out.

Omaheddon: The Grand Imperial Leader wishes for a planet of peace and quiet, with no more comings and goings, no more noise from the people below him, no more crowds, no more cabs whizzing by or tourists gawking at a building that's just a building. No one but him...and us.

Beth: It sounds wonderful.

Marlena: He's gonna destroy this planet!

Mike: No, he ain't! Let's get him! X(

Marlena: Come on!

(Cut to an ornamental tree with football eyes again as Mike, Marlena, and Davy jump the squadron and "Little Girl" begins.)

(Mike concentrates. There's a blue light...and a fish appears in his hand. :p)

(Marlena jumps on three guys...and in a few short seconds, has all of them crying 'uncle.')

*Davy concentrates on trying to make a fish appear and gets a water gun. He shrugs and shoots water at squadron members.* ;)

(Mike concentrates again. This time, he gets a glass of water. He throws it at Beth, shorting her out.)

(Juniper stands there as two squadron members look around for him. He finally picks them both up and drops them in the ornamental fountain.)

(Mike is still concetrating. He gets a watering can this time. Juniper takes the can, drinks out of it, hands it back to him, and returns to chasing squadron members. ;) )

(Marlena gets a hold of Omaheddon. He leers at her chest. She just knees him in the groin and tosses him over her shoulder and into a bush, annoyed. :p)

*Davy sets up a rope and trips two squadron members.*

(Juniper sprays a couple of squadron members with the same stuff Frodis used on Glick and his men in "The Frodis Caper." They get wobbly, put their arms around each other, and wander off, giggling. Some even start dancing.)

(As Mike concentrates, Omaheddon finally makes his way out of the bush. He grabs Mike from behind, yanking his arms behind his back.)

Omaheddon: That's enough! You'll all be going to jail, and the two Earth creatures (smirks nastily) have an overdue date with our scientists, who would LOVE to study all about their planet...and what it's residents are made of. ;) >:)

Mike: You BASTARD! X(

Davy: Let him go! X-(

*Suddenly, the cab plows into the garden. When it finally stops, there isn't a scratch on it.*

Rocco: (Leans out as squadron members scramble) Anyone call a cab? ;)

Peter: (Leans out the back, no longer in the maid’s uniform) Hey, guys, I found my pants!

Davy: Nice drivin', Rocco! :D

Rocco: Thank you, young man. Iggy should be along shortly. ;)

(Iggy comes carreening into the garden, or what's left of it, towing two more cabs.)

Iggy: (Leans out) Mind if I crash the party?

Micky: Think ya already did, man!

Iggy: (Looks at the commotion and grins) Sweeeeeet!

Omaheddon: You'll PAY for this, you Underworld ruffians! X(

Rocco: Sticks and stones may break me bones, but names will get you the numbah of me lawyah.

Omaheddon: Damn you, Underworlders! The Grand Imperial Leader will have your heads on spits for this!

Mike: Or is the Leader gonna do it?

Omaheddon: What are you saying?

Mike: I don't think this Leader is much of a leader. Seems to me you're doing the leadin'.

Omaheddon: How dare you insinuate such a thing? I'm only the Head of All Planetary Squadrons! I could never be the Grand Imperial Leader!

Mike: Ok, then, show us the Leader. Where is he? No one on this planet even knows what he looks like! They've never seen him! They've never seen him in the newspapers, or on the photoboxes, or hear him on the airwaves! They don't know who their own leader is!

Omaheddon: He's too busy for personal appearances!

Mike: Not much of a leader if he can't even bother to appear in public, is he?

Micky: I just hope he isn't hiding behind a curtain or something. :P ;)

Omaheddon: (Roars, his face turning red) BLAST THEM! BLAST THEM ALL FOR SAYING SUCH BLASPHEMY! X(

Marlena: I hate to point out the obvious, but I think the party's over, my friend.

Iggy: No shit. All aboard!

(Everyone scrambles for the cabs as Omaheddon continues ranting and "Star Collector" begins. Mike tosses the still-fried Beth into Rocco's cab and goes in after her.)

(The cabs all duck out...followed by spaceships like the ones we saw during the space chase in the second part.)

(Cut to inside one of the spaceships. Omaheddon is screaming and giving orders to his men, who sit at various consoles...including one that serves one guy coffee. ;) )

*One of the spaceships ducks behind a building. It peeks out around it after another ship goes past.* ;)

(Mike pushes Beth towards Micky, trying to get him to fix her. He climbs in front with Rocco, next to Davy.)

*Micky takes Beth to one side and produces his trusty screwdriver.* ;)

(Iggy's being followed by two spaceships. He ducks behind a familiar yet space-age looking building with golden arches, and comes out with two burgers in two of his arms and a pack of fries in another while the other one controls the cab. ;) )

(Marlena is being followed by another space ship. She flies around one of the buildings...and a huge ape who hangs on it. The ape finally grabs the spaceships and eats them as Marlena flies away, waving to the ape. The ape waves back, a spaceship hanging out of his mouth.)

(Juniper ducks into the field, another spaceship on his tail. He flies past the Drapoel, blowing smoke and making it cough. The Drapoel, not having any of this, immediately knocks the second spaceship out of the sky. :p)

(Rocco is being chased by a whole fleet of spaceships, including Omaheddon's. He goes up, up, and up even further...then suddenly turns around and goes back to the city. All of the ships but Omaheddon's just keep going up.)

(Juniper sprays a green mist at the ships behind him. They melt away, leaving their startled crews in the air for a few seconds before they fall into bushes in the Field.)

*We see the four Monkees in one of the ships, all of them dressed in Star Trek outfits. Mike looks rather grumpy.*

(Rocco ducks his cab behind a building as we cut back to the main streets an the song ends. The other cabs join him.)

Rocco: That was a close one! What was goin' on out there?

Mike: Omaheddon wants to clear the planet. He's usin' the harmonic destructors to force everyone off...startin' with the Underworlders.

Rocco: That bloody arse! X(

Mike: (Looks sadly at Emilio) And Beth was helpin' him.

Peter: Oh man, no! :(

Mike: She was build as a spy. Lead Omaheddon to Emilio and to us.

Micky: I take it that's why I'm rewiring her.

Mike: Yeah. She was in on the whole thing. She went with Omaheddon' willingly when they broke into Emilio's house. (Looks at Emilio again) Sorry, man...or robot. We'll do what we can to fix her up, so she'll be a help to us...and someone you can really care about.

Emilio: *nods* Thank you, fellas. :(

Rocco: (He's on the radio with the other cabbies) Well, what are we gonna do now?

Mike: We're gonna find that so-called Leader.

Rocco: How?

Mike: We'll just play Follow the Head Squadron Leader.

Rocco: Follow Omaheddon's ship?

Mike: Nice to see you catch on quick.

Rocco: Could we do that?

Mike: Look, if Omaheddon's controllin' the guy, he's gonna have to go see his figurehead sometime. He has him stashed somewhere.

Peter: Rocco, do you have any radars or anything?

Rocco: I don't know about radars, but we have redah machines that keep track of every cah in the city. That's how we avoid accidents and busy intersections and get where we're goin'.

Mike: Use it to follow Omaheddon. We've gotta make him admit that he's the brains behind all this and the Leader is just some guy takin' orders.

Rocco: Well, it's your funeral, mate. I'm just playin' along. (He gives the orders into his car and, ignoring complaints from the other three cabs, heads out into the open and into a blur again)
