Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors Episode 66: Reunion (Part 1)

By megaprime81

Open in deep space; Monster Mind vines inhabit this region, with vines from one planet to the next.
We see the Pride of the Skies II flying past them.
Cut to: Interior, Pride of the Skies II
Herc Stormsailer is monitoring the video screen; Jayce stands hopeful at his side. Suddenly, the root around his neck starts glowing, a sign that he is near either Audric, his father, or something he owns.
Gillian, the wizard, nears the viewscreen, while Flora, the girl/flower hybrid, plays with the floating fish she has as a pet, and Oon, the eternal squire, is trying not to step on  the zoggies that are running around his feet.
Jayce: We're close to father this time, I just know that's why the root is glowing.
Gillian: We've got to be careful, Jayce. We've come so close before...
Herc: For my sake, I hope the kid's right so I can finally get paid.
Jayce: It's that one planet. As we draw near it, the root goes haywire.
Oon: M-m-m-mater Jayce...I'll be so glad when we can see m-m-m-master Audric again...
Flora: So will I, Oon. Oh, I hope Jayce is right...
Herc: This planet? It would have to be Vultair, of all the planets in the universe...the planet with the greatest Monster Mind activity.
Gillian: We have to be extra careful..Saw Boss has tricked us before...
Jayce: I know. But I have this feeling this time...Herc, put us down on Voltair.
Dissolve to: Saw Boss's base
Saw Boss: So, the boy thinks he's close to Audric. We have to stop his family reunion now! This is personal, so this time we fight ourselves.
Terror Tank: But Majesty, the pods...
Saw Boss: Are too easily defeated. It'll take everything we have to ensure our survival. 
Terror Tank: But Majesty...
Saw Boss: Are you questioning my logic?
Terror Tank (shaking with fear): No, Majesty.
Saw Boss: By the power of the Black Light, I go.
(Saw Boss's base incrementally disappears, with the black light fazing it out).
Dissolve to: The Surface of the planet Vultair.
We see the Pride of the Skies II just touching down. Monster Mind vines are everywhere on this planet, and the Pride lands on top of some of them, it's rear jets destroying a few.
The door on the bottom front of the Pride drops open, and all the vehicles come rolling out.
Gillian: (driving Spike-Ttrike) Is it really necessary to take all the vehicles at one time?
Herc: They outnumber us zillions to one. I think ths kid's using his head this time.
Jayce: I have a feeling we'll need them all. Saw Boss has been relentless. We should be as heavily armed as possible, Gillian.
Oon: (riding with Jayce in Armed Force): M-m-m-aster Jayce, there are so many vines....
Jayce: That's why we need to be on guard at all times, Oon. Remember to use your magic lance if you need to.
Herc: Well, what are we waiting for? The sooner we find your old man, the sooner I get paid. And it's been a long journey, so I'm expecting quite a bit of moolah.
Jayce: Let's get rolling, then.
(They start their journey)
(Fade and dissolve to:
Saw Boss)
Saw Boss: Phase One: release the pods.
(As before, Saw Boss's orders are followed, but Terror Tank has a question first)
Terror Tank: How many, Majesty?
Saw Boss: All of them!
Terror Tank: But...majesty...
Saw Boss: I grow weary of you. Go lead the troops.
Terror Tank: (reluctantly permissive): Yes, majecsty.
Saw Boss: (after Terror Tank leaves): This time we will be victorious. They're outnumbered. And, if I must, I will fight in combat as well. First I'll test my warriors. Should the unlikely happen, and they fail, I will emerge victiorious.
(Quick shot back to Jayce, Gillian, Flora ,and Oon as the Monster Mind vines start dropping the Monster Mind pols' contents.)
Jayce: Be on guard. The vines are dropping the clones. Now the battle really begins...and the root is off the charts. Father must be close.
Herc: I may have to charge extra for all I've had to put up with on this voyage...
Flora: Herc, is that all you think about--getting paid?
Herc: Not all. I'm also a romantic.
Flora: Oh, brother...
(The battles ensues, the Monster Minds are so numerous that it looks hopeless...the warriors in vehicles fight valiently, but the odds of winning seem impossible. Finally, they're surrounded, at which point Jayce thinks to use the Ring of Light to help out of the jam)
Jayce: Ring of Light, Magic MIght!
(Light goes forth from the ring, destroying all the Monster Mind clones, and the real Terror Tank, as well as the vines that produce the clones.)
Suddenly, the glowing of Jayce's half of the root starts ahaking. Jayce looks out the windshield of  Armed Force and sees Audric approeaching.)
Jayce: Father!
Audric: Oh, Jayce...it's such a relief to see you again...all of you. Quickly follow me. There's not much time.
Jayce: Where were you, and how did you know we were here?
Audric: I'll catch you up on the details when we have a chance to get acquainted. For now, come with me. Saw Boss is furious, and there's no time to waste.
