d~ You gotta see! It's coming, whether you want it or not! d~ Chris: Eeeeeew! Author: Not that kind of coming, you hentai. Keep it up and we'll replace you faster than you can say, "It's Changing Time!" Chris: But I haven't asked for *MORE* money. Author: D'oh! ^_^ Chris: That's never stopped Gourmet Night before. Author: Of course! Gourmet Night presents... Power People Zeeto "A Stupid Beginning, Part 1" Parody of "A Zeo Beginning, Part 1" Last time on the very *LAST* Post-Psychadelic Power People, "Hog's Day On The Town, Part 2", the GyroSmog deprived the Alien Immigrants of their portapotties. The Little People tried to get the citizens of Angular Grove to help the Immigrants, but no one really gave a hoot. Eventually, the Immigrants were forced to make use of the sand in Angular Grove Tilted Park's playground. Meanwhile, Little Chris unwittingly makes a call from a pay phone to the local authorities about it. Once done, the Immigrant went back into action and defeated GyroSmog with the Toga MegaScallionHunkaJunkaZord. Little Alicia drop kicks Little Tanya back to the present with her cup of coffee made from her Zeeto Brazilian Power Crystal to take her place as one of Zorkon's ginuea pigs. While the restored Power People go to see the Angular Grove Humane Society take care of the Alien Immigrants, Goldinski and Tito steal the combined Zeeto Brazilian Power Crystal from the Command Center. When the Rangers return, the CC starts to shake due to the plot device set up underneath the CC. The Rangers are teleported out just in time.... Now on with the show... Timmy: It was horrible. The Pyscho Power Coins were gone forever. The Power Cham, er, Command Center had been completely destroyed, and Zorkon and Beta were gone for good! We were free! Timmy: The Power People, as we knew them, were no more. The drag was that now we were stuck out here with no appreciable way to get home. Tanya: Do you think it's possible they survive? Billy: I hope not, that terrible slave driver... Kat: It's too bad the Angular Grove Humane Society took away the Alien Immigrants. We really shouldn't have let them using the Playground sand as their potty. Thank you, Chris. Chris: How was I to know? I was just being civic minded. Adam: Shut up, Chris. Rocky: There's gotta be something we can do... Billy: And even I, the smart one, can't think of anything. Chris: Too bad we don't have the Zeeto Crystal. Then we could have some real fun without Zorkon around. [The ex-Power People explore the ruins of their unfortunate headquarters.] -- [Zepplin's Palace] [Rhetta is leading Babboon, Squint, and Lord Zepplin in a terrible imitation of the Macarena to the song "YMCA".] Rhetta: Y... No... Babboon: M... More Squint: C... Power Zepplin: A.... People! Squint: The words made no sense with the letters. Rhetta: Of course, it didn't. We're having fun. We finally conquered the Earth! Zepplin: This is a GLORIOUS day! We have taken the Psycho and Power out of the Post-Psychodelic Power People! Rhetta: It's wonderful, my ugly husband. [Finkster rushes in.] Finkster: I'm sorry to be a party pooper... Zepplin and Rhetta together: THEN DON'T! [The castle starts to shake.] Rhetta: Argh! What's going on, Zheppie? Finkster: I thought you might want to know this immediately. But if that's the way you're going to be, then forget it and suffer at the hands of King Zondo and the MADD empire. Rhetta: I hate that idiot that took the name of my good friend Zondo from that book, "Slumpy the Sleepy Helf". Zepplin: Honda! Why that two timing pain in the arse. I hate him even more than I hate Hegon or the Power People. He doesn't even have a proper throne! Haha! Rhetta: I've got to see this to believe it. [She glares into her Repulsingscope.] Rhetta: Ugh. Zepplin: What is it, thing that I love as much as taking over the Earth? Rhetta : I think our conquest went down the pottie hole. -- [Commercial break] Advertisement #1: Deluxe Zeeto MegaHunkaJunkaZord and Red Hasslezord.

And the fearsome, yet laughable Queen Barrel. -- [The People are all moping around the ruins, looking pale and zombie-like.] Timmy: The...place...was...wiped...off...the...map. Billy : Stop talking like Shatner, please, or I'll rip your brains outta your head. Adam Rhetta: Why you... Why did I have to wear my high heels today of all days? Babboon: If we live through this, I'm charging for overtime. Squint: With bosses like ours, both show-wise and real world-wise, I'd give it a hog's chance in a pig slaughtery. Babboon: Reminds me of Fudgy Fig... Chris Neumann (voice-over): Watch it, you too. You're at the top of my list as to who's going to get kicked off next to save money. Babboon (whimpering): Okay... Zepplin (sighing): Rhetta, get up. Babboon, Squint, stop fooling around. The Mangofighters are heading this way. If we don't leave soon, they're going to make us into moon dust. Squint: What's with all the Sailor Spoon Otaku references? Babboon: Must be the territory. [Off to the side, Beta V hits the drums.] Squint: What was that? Babboon: Ignore it. Rhetta: I was really starting to relish living in that decaying mudhole we call a castle. [The Mangofighters fire several more shots at the fleeing villians.] Rhetta: Though change is good. [Coins start to fall on her.] Rhetta: Not that kind of change, prop men. Prop man #1: Sorry. Prop man #2: Awfully sorry. Rhetta: Just see that it doesn't happen again. I just thought of something. Zepplin: Don't you find that painful? Rhetta: Oh, shut up. What about Goldinski and Tito? And the Zeeto Brazilian Power Crystal? Zepplin: They obviously failed, as per se the 1st rule of being a henchman: Always find some way to mess up your assignment. We can't wait for them. We'll have to find them later on. BGM: Duh duh DAH! Rhetta: Oi, more foreshadowing... and my feet are killing me. Where are my sneakers? -- [Command Center's ruins] [Timmy picks up the empty cups that once held coffe made from the Zeeto Brazilian Power Crystals.] Timmy: Great. The cups are here, but they're empty. Billy: And we have no way to extract the trace amounts of Zeeto caffeine that might reside within them to empower us. Rocky: Goldinski and Tito must have dropped it, but why? Adam: It was explained before. The 1st rule of being a henchmen: Always find a way to goof up. It's part of their contract. Chris: You'd think the villians would have fixed that by now. Kat: Do we care? Power People: No. [The cups start to glow.] Tanya: What's going on? Timmy: The cups are starting to give off a little energy. [With a flash, everybody is in a spandex suit according to their Power People color.] Author: Hey! It's not time for that yet! Prop Guy #1: Sorry. [The suits disappear leaving the Rangers nude.] Kat: Hey! Chris: Holy Crapcakes! Tanya: What the F---! Adam: Whoa, Tanya. Watch the mouth or they'll kick you off real fast. Tanya: Well, this day hasn't been too pleasant yet. [Regular clothes flash onto them.] Tanya: That's better. Prop Guy #2: Awfully sorry. Billy: You two look familiar. Didn't you use to work Hobbie's World? Prop Guy #1: Nope. Prop Guy #2: Sorry. Author: Ahem... Timmy: Oh, sorry. Billy: You might want to put it down, Timmy. Who knows what it could do. Timmy: Look, you're not my boss. You might have lead us in the last ten episodes, but no more! Billy: It was just a suggestion, you thick-skulled barbarian! Author: Timmy, just put it down. Timmy: Okay. Billy: Do we have to let him lead? Author: Yes. It's in his contract. [As Timmy puts the cups on the ground, the ground starts to shake.] BGM: Zeeto! Rocky: Anyone else feel that tremor? Kat: Yeah. I hope it isn't *ANOTHER* plot device. Billy: Well, the rumble is probably resettling. -- [Moon Surface] Zepplin: We're almost to Slinkyterra now. Pick up the pace. Hut one, two, three, four. Hut one, two, three, four. Hut one, two, three, four. I hope this crap fits in Slinkyterra. [The Mangofighters start the next wave of their attack.] Rhetta: I wish they would stop. It's starting to get boring and repetitive. Finkster: Let's put our rears into gear. They're getting nearer to us. Zepplin: You know, I just thought of something. Rhetta: If Goldinski or Tito were here, I'm sure they'd say something like "I thought I smelled something burning". Babboon: We could always blame it on the scorched rocks. Rhetta: Anyway, what'd you forget? Your head warmer? Zepplin: Haha. Has it occured to anybody that if we get out of the reach of the MADD Empire, we have no place to call our own. Finkster: Lord Zepplin is amazingly correct. Slinkyterra has a limited amount of slinkiness and we must plan our flight path correctly or we'll run out of that slinkiness and float off toward Never Never Land. Squint: Never Never Land *HAS* to be better than this. Rhetta: So where do you want to go?!? There isn't exactly a Holiday Inn a few lightyears from here! Babboon: I don't care as long as it's away from here. Zepplin and Rhetta: Who asked you? The Mangofighters make another attack. Zepplin and Rhetta scream. Everybody drops their luggage. Zepplin: Let's pick up this crap and get the heck outta here. Rhetta: Sure. Like that'll be easy. [The Mangofighters continue firing as the villians make their way to Slinkyterra.] Babboon: Uh, they don't like us. Rhetta: Whatever gave you that idea? -- [MADD Sighbase] Pachinka: Look at them, darling. They're like rats in a laboratory maze, scrambling for whatever path is safe. Zondo: Soon, Zepplin and Rhetta will be history, and we shall claim our thrones, , and conquer the Earth. Pocket: Yeah, pops. Zondo: There will be nothing to stop the MADD Empire. -- [Command Center's ruins] Tanya: Is this ride ever going to quit? Billy: I have no idea how to make it quit. Rocky: We're falling. Adam: Bail out. Bonsai! Tanya: I can't make my feet move! Timmy: Nor I. -- [Commercial] Hasper, the animated series. Fleshbumps Hobbie's World -- [Back to the People] [The ground falls out from beneath them. They all scream and wave their arms around.] Chris: Iiiiiiii wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaasssssssss aaaaaafffffrrrraaaiiiiddddd oooofffff ttttttthhhhhhhhiiiiiiisssssss!!!!!!!!!!! Rocky: Hhhhhheeeeeyyyyyyy, lllllllooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkk aaaaaarrrrrrrrrooooooooooouuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddd uuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssss! Zzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttooooooo ssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk ppppppppprrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwsssssss!!! Adam: Ccccccccccccccccoooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!! [Outside, the rubble that use to be the Command Center attempts to reassemble itself, but fails. After one more attempt, the pieces manage to stay together with a little help from some extra powerful glue and heavy duct tape.] [Back to the People again] [They all land on top of each other in a dark room. Old, dusty backs fall on top of them.] Timmy: Hey! Where'd the Zeeto Crystal cups go? Adam: Great, we lost it again.... Kat: Gee, Tommy, thanks for being concerned about your team. Timmy: Billy, do you have any idea where we are? Billy: It looks like the lower levels of the Command Center. I think I've crayon drawings of a place like this the Command Center's lousy database. Meanwhile, the Command Center continues it restoration. -- [Some Neighborhood Street] [Goldinski and Tito rummage through some overstuffed garbage cans. Tito pulls a whole rotten apple out of a garbage can. Goldar rubs his stomach indicating he is hungry.] Tito: Ah, lunch is served. Goldinski: I'm so famished I could eat just about anything. Tito: Didn't you have huge gold wings, my huge golden friend? Goldinski: Wings!?! Where!?! Tito: Didn't think so. Oh, I wish we knew who we were and where we belonged. Goldinski: Why don't you try tapping the heels of your feet together and say "There is no place like home!" three times. Tito: That is absolutely stupid, my idiotic friend. Goldinski: Why don't we ask those teenagers with attitude where we belong? Tito: Hey, you two, the human adolescents, do you know who we are? [The two teenagers get one look at Tito and Goldinski and fall to the ground, laughing. They can't stop.] Tito: Wah! I want my papa! Goldinski: Stop whining. You sound like Sailor, er, Sailor some piece of eating utensil. I'll keep an eye on you. Tito: You mean it? Maybe we should find someone else to help us. Goldinski: Let's look for a Bulk and Skull. Those names ring a bell for some reason. [One of the teenagers laughs so hard his head rolls down the street.] Other teen: Haha! They killed kenny! -- [Dull's garage] Dull: Just hold on, Hulkie, and give me a moment to get this suprise ready. Hulk: What's the suprise this time, Dull? A cake that explodes as I eat it? Dull: It's even better than that. You can come in now. Hulk walks in. He looks around, but only sees a scooter with a skimpy sidecar attached to it. Hulk: This is it? Dull: Dontcha just love it? Hulk: You're kidding, right? Dull: Nope! Got a special deal on it from my cousin Deemer. He was going to get rid of it. It was practically a steal. Hulk: You've got that right. [Goldinski and Tito roam outside the garage, behind thorn bushes.] Tito: Ow! Goldinski: Ow! Author: Actually, it would be OW!R. Tito: What's with all the Sailor Spoon Otaku references? Author: Just making sure to plug it. Okay? Tito: Yeah, sure. Dull: Imagine it, Hulk. The siren blaring, patrol cars following *us*, always at the scene of a crime. Hulk: You're beginning to get me, Dull. -- [MADD Sighbase] [Mangofighters fly around. Pogs gather and chant Zondo's name over and over.] [Mangofighters head off and continue their attack on Zepplin and Rhetta.] Rhetta: They're really getting repetitive. [By this time, Rhetta and Finster have dumped their belongings for the Flamingoes to carry.] Rhetta: I think I've finally thought of a place we can go. [Zepplin sniffs the air.] Zepplin: I knew I smelled somthing burning. [The Mangofighters' blasts get closer to being on target.] Rhetta: Shove it, Radiator Face. Who do we know who is more evil Zondo and Pachinko? Zepplin: Me, of course! Babboon: I agree wholeheartedly. Squint: Ditto for me. Rhetta: Wrong! Besides not answering in the form of a question, it is utterly wrong! I meant my father, Master Smile. Zepplin: No, no way! I'd rather find a cheap, low-rate motel than stay with that old coot. Rhetta: This is no time to argue. I'm calling my papa. Zepplin: No way! I refuse! -- [Underground Labyrinth] Rocky: We've been wandering around in this maze for what seems like hours. Billy: Actually, you time-immune moron, it's only been 15 minutes. Rocky: Actually, Billy, if I was time-immune...what does that mean? Kat: Don't hurt yourself, Rocky. Chris: Are we there yet? Timmy: Would you quit that, Chris? You've already asked that same question 50 times! (Beta): Attach this red wire to the blue thingamajigie. Billy: Listen... (Beta): Connect the little switchie to the control panel thing. Billy: That really sounds like Beta. (Beta): Aye yi yi... -- [Moon Surface] Zepplin: No! Never! I won't, and you can't make me. Rhetta: Never mind. MASTER SMILE! IT'S ME, YOUR BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, LITTLE DAUGHTER. WE'RE IN A PICKLE AND NEED YOUR HELP! Zepplin: Again with the nails on the chalkboard. Rhetta: Shut up! Master Smile: Is that any way to talk to your father? Rhetta: I was talking to Zepplin, thank you very much. We're in trouble, you see. The MADD Empire is attempting to take over our conquest. Master Smile: The MADD Empire. The only ones more vile than myself. What did you want? A new gizmo? Some special monster? Rhetta: We wanted to know if we could bunk with you til this blows over. Master Smile: But there's only bedroom in the entire palace. That means... Zepplin: Look, I'm not happy about it either. Master Smile: Who cares what you think? Anyways, alright, you can stay. But I'll be charging you rent. And you'll have to sleep in the living room. Zepplin: Fine with me. Master Smile: Good. I'll leave a skeleton key under the doormat. Zepplin: That must have been what became of Tito's brain. Master Smile: Be careful not to wake me, though. Or the consequences will be dire..." Rhetta: Right, whatever you say, father dear. Master Smile disappears. Babboon: Why couldn't he have just teleported us there? Rhetta: It's too hard. Squint: Huh? Rhetta: Nevermind. Zepplin: Oh, goody goody Everlasting Gobstoppers... -- [Command Center] [The Command Center finishes rebuilding itself.] [Meanwhile, downstairs, in the Sub-basement of Wonders...] Rocky: What's that shaking? Billy: The modular foundation of external shielding of the main building must be resettling. Chris: Huh? Tanya: The rubbish that is left of the Command Center is moving around a bit. Billy: Affirmative. Timmy: Oh great. Billy is slipping into his old ways, and Tanya is being like Trini, interpreting for us. Adam: It must be foreshadowing... Kat: Agreed. (Beta): People, step into the vortex. [A green glow can be seen starting to eminate from a pile of ooze moving up to human height in front of the People. The ooze glows purple for a moment, then returns to its green color.] Adam: The ooze looks familiar somehow... Rocky: Don't give it another thought. Simon Slime (aside): It was the only line of work I could get after the producers claimed *MY* movie to be unfit for normal viewing. *sigh* (Beta): People, please step through the ooze. [Without a second thought, the People walk through the vortex, first Timmy, followed a bit too closely by Chris, then Tanya and Kat, then Adam and Billy side by side, and finally, hesitantly, Rocky, who is pulled in by Billy.] Simon Slime: Now I've got you annoying People. (Beta): Be good, Ooze. Remember who saved you. Simon Slime: Rasafazing... You even erased their memories of me. (Beta): Had to be done. -- [Chamber] [The People walk out of the ooze to enter a shoddy-looking command center.] Tanya: What is this place? Billy: I've seen crude drawings of such a place in the Command Center's database, but I never thought the crappy place would actually exist. Except for the fact I DID see it before when Timmy became the White Bread Ranger. Chris: It kinda looks like the redubbing and ADR room. [Beta walks out of an alcove that isn't even shaped like him.] Beta: People, welcome home. Chris: Some home... -- [Commercial] Advertisement #1: Pizza Smut pizza Advertisement #2: Zeeto 8-in-1 weapon Powerless Smasher Advertisement #3: Sailor Spoon Otaku ice cream bars -- Eat ice cream shaped like the head of your favorite senshi. Six shapes to choose from. -- [Chamber] [The people gather around Beta, yet keep their distance.] Chris: You stink, Beta. Beta: Duh, I've been working on this place. What'd you think? Kat: Beta, we thought you were gone forever. Why couldn't you have stayed that way. Beta: Watch it, sister. It takes more than a silly plot device to keep me down. Besides, what would the the Power People be without me? Adam: A whole lot quieter. Beta: You'll be happy to know everything is working as well as can be expected. Billy: In other words, everything will fall apart in the middle of a battle. Beta: Heheh. Rocky: Who? Wha? Wher? Why? When? Tanya: I think he's still a little shell shocked. Beta: The Power Chamber has always been here, in one state or another. Heheh. We knew there was a time when the Command Center would suffer the effects of a plothole. Adam: What about Zorkon? Kat: Yeah? Is he *REALLY* gone? Beta: Oh, I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner... -- [MADD Sighbase] Zondo: Marvel at the beauty of the Earth. Pachinka: It is pretty. Zondo: And soon we shall rule it... With an IRON FIST!
