Charge of the Uran

Scene: Uran is sitting in her room after being punished for helping Atlas.

Astro: Uran?

Uran: Yeah…you’re not supposed to come in here big brother.

Astro: does it look like I’m here?

Scene: Uran looks around.

Uran: Woe…this is weird.

Astro: We haven’t got time to fool around Sis. Skunk’s planted a bomb at the baseball stadium and a home run’s gonna blow everybody to bits!

Uran: Where you at?

Scene: Shifts back to Astro

Astro: Well….kinda tied up with something else.

Uran: I’ll come and get you!

Astro: No! I can take care of it myself, you need to call Inspector Towashi and tell him about the bomb at the stadium!

“click”

Astro: Sis? Uran?! I hope she’s not gonna do what I think she’s gonna do.

Cora: We have to try and get out of this Astro!

Astro: Well? They got my legs and wrists restrained but they forgot about my elbow joints.

Scene: Astro detaches his right elbow and tries to use his pin point laser. Suddenly tentacles flow from the table and tie his upper arm back to the table.

Cora: What happened?

Astro: I’d say they’ve been watching too much anime. Cora? If you can get yourself loose, just get up and get out of here.

Cora: Sorry…I have this weakness for tampering with explosives. Just give me a few minutes.

Astro: I wonder if we’ll have a few seconds.

XXII
Second thoughts

Scene: Uran, Momo and Orin fly from the house towards the stadium.

Uran: That’s right! Astro says Skunk put a bomb in the stadium! A home run will blow everybody sky high!

Scene: Towashi turns his cruiser around and races for the stadium.

Towashi: All available units! This is a code Red 10-60! Command Center rally point at Vessey and West Steets! Do not, I say again, Do not use your sirens!

Scene: Uran, Momo and Orin land on a roof across from the stadium. Orin grabs Uran as a baseball flies through the air and the center fielder makes a lucky grab at the top of the backfield wall!

Orin: My word! (cringe) how are we going to find a bomb in there? It’s too big!

Uran: With a little help.

Scene: Uran signals a Sea Gull. It lands on the roof sill, she explains in Gull about the bomb and the Gull flies around telling other animals until we see squirrels, mice, rats and birds scowering all over the stadium.

Scene: Back at the abandoned factory, Cora jumps up with the rope in her hands.

Cora: I did it! I’m better at this than I thought!

Scene: Cora turns around and opens Astro’s chest panel.

Astro: This must mean we’ve hit second base right?

Cora: Don’t make me laugh! I might pull the wrong wire. Does it bother you that the timer has like 2 minutes left?

Astro: Oh no…not like a bomb stuck to my insides wasn’t a problem to start with.




Scene: We see Skunk’s car racing by the camera on it’s way to the bank. Atlas is stuck between Diesel and moose in the back seat. Skunk and Hamegg are blabbering over their coming good fortune while Atlas is biting on his lips…He thinks of voices telling him how wrong he is, what kind of robot is he? He suddenly shudders and starts climbing over moose…

Atlas: Open the window you fat dork!

Skunk: What are you doing?!

Atlas: He got loose!

Skunk: Astro got loose?! How do you know?

Atlas: Duh! Same design plans genius! I’ll meet you at the bank!

Scene: Atlas jumps from the car and rockets off.

Counting down

Scene: A robot batter nails the ball and send it streaking towards the center field wall!

Announcer: Deep line drive to center field! This could tie the game ladies and gentlemen!

Scene: Uran and Orin cringe as the ball looks like a sure homer! That is till Astro’s big school mate Shibugaki makes a running catch along the top of the center field wall much to the consternation of Ken, Tamao and the crowd.

Ken: Shibugaki! You robbed our side of a homer you big dufus!

Shibugaki: You gotta admit, I made one sweet catch didn’t I?!

Tamao: Ugh! Someone should go catch your brain! It’s escaped!

Scene: Uran and Orin are relieved and continue trying to find the bomb.

Orin: It’s only a matter of time! We’ve been looking everywhere!

Scene: A squirrel comes running up and pulls on Uran’s pant leg.

Uran: Huh? You found it?! Take us to it!

Scene: Uran, Orin and the squirrel run for the bomb. The scene shifts to Astro and Cora back at the old car factory.


Astro: Tell me you’re making progress?

Cora: There’s like 15 wires and 60 seconds left, I might have to make an educated guess!

Astro: Wow! And I left my flipping coin at home?

Cora: Red, blue or green.

Scene: Atlas crashes through the roof and lands beside Cora.

Atlas: Step aside!

Scene: Atlas pushes Cora aside. She pushes right back.

Cora: Who do you think you are?! CREEP!

Atlas: Stupid human moron!

Scene: Astro fidgets as Cora and Atlas argue.

Astro: WILL SOME ONE GET THIS BOMB OUT OF MY CHEST?!

Scene: Atlas casually turns and plucks the green wire from the bomb. The bomb stops counting down at 2 seconds.

Astro, Atlas and Cora: “Shewww…..”

Scene: The bombs alarm suddenly goes off.

Astro, Atlas and Cora: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Scene: We see an explosion blow through the roof of the old car factory.

XXIV
A toy!

Scene: Inspector Towashi is surrounded by police officers as they run towards the baseball stadium.

Towashi: You found it! Where is it?

Scene: Uran is standing before the bomb, and it’s pretty big.

Uran: Under the center field scoreboard. You should stop the game!

Towashi: If we try to evacuate the stadium now, Skunk will just set it off by remote control! We’ll try to get a delay or keep em from smacking the ball over the fence, don’t touch that thing till my officers get there, you understand?!

Scene: Uran starts climbing all over the bomb.

Orin: What are you doing?! The Inspector said….

Uran: I’m not touching it! I just wanna see how it’s made, maybe I can find a way to stop it.

Orin: I hope the next hitter won’t get lucky!

Scene: Astro is standing by the table popping his separated right fore arm back into its joint.

Astro: What changed your mind?

Atlas: Some humans are more advanced in their stupidity than others, now get out of here and go do that hero thing before I change my mind.

Cora: We’re not done yet!

Scene: Atlas picks Cora up and puts her on Astro’s back.

Atlas: Will you shut up and get going!

Scene: Astro rockets from the factory. He switches to the game.

Astro: We’re in big trouble…The Thunder’s best hitter is up at the plate.

Scene: Astro’s burners go from yellow to white/blue and he’s streaking towards the stadium. We see the batter take a swing and knock the ball foul into the bleachers. Uran’s ripping panels off the bomb casing and tracing wires from the explosive to the detonator.

Uran: Inspector! Where are you?! Why haven’t you stopped the game yet?!

Scene: Astro and Cora come running into the room.

Astro: Uran! Get off that thing!

Scene: Inspector Towashi is shaking the announce.

Towashi: Call a time out! Hold the game!

Scene: The Thunder hitter gets a good shot on the ball and it sails up and towards the center field scoreboard. Astro is frantically scanning and pulling wires out.

Astro: That’s not it! That’s not it! That’s not it!

Scene: The ball spins closer and closer. Astro jumps down and tries to rip the bomb off the floor but he’s ripping pieces away, it’s hard to get a good grip!

Scene: Orin and Cora grimace, expecting the end of all of them.

Scene: The ball smacks the center field sign and lands in the grass below it.

Scene: Astro is resting against the side of the bomb till he looks around and sees they’re all still alive? Above, the crowd is going crazy! The Thunders have won the series.

Astro: What the?

Scene: Astro walks around the bomb and finds Uran holding….the electrical plug she’s pulled from the socket.

Uran: Did I mess anything up?

Scene: Astro picks her up and spins her around the floor laughing and hugging her.

Astro: You did just fine Sis.

Yin to your Yang

Scene: Skunk, Hamegg, Diesel and Moose walk into the bank and see Atlas sitting casually in a chair.

Skunk: Hurry up you mooks. While the whole city’s distracted we’ll clean this place out! Good work Atlas. You’re going to get a big reward for this.

Atlas: Oh really? I suppose I should ask for it now but I kinda have other things in mind.

Skunk: (cocking his laser rifle) Like what?

Scene: We suddenly hear the bank doors slam shut. The crooks turn to see Astro standing there smiling at them. He waves a ping pong paddle in his hand.

Astro: Ping pong!

Scene: Astro jumps up and rockets towards the camera!


Scene: The scene opens to Towashi walking out of the police station and coming face to face with a huge ball….of chewing gum?

Hamegg: I warned you this would go wrong!

Skunk: Shut up! Next time it won’t! You’ll see, I’ll get that stupid kid if it’s the last ting I do! You hear me Astro Boy!

Scene: Astro is standing across the street laughing while Atlas is perched on an alley fence behind him.

Astro: It’s gonna take them days to pull them all out of that mess! Well…guess we make a good team huh Atlas?

Scene: Atlas is gone.

Astro: Atlas?

Scene: Uran comes walking up with huge ice cream cones in her hands.

Uran: Where’s Atlas? Oh well….more for me!

Astro: No way! Share that one! Uran, get back here!

Scene: We see Vivian sneaking away till Atlas lands in front of her.

Atlas: Leaving?

Vivian: You won’t take me to the cops.

Atlas: Are you kidding? I’m not gonna rat out another robot. Especially a cute one.

Vivian: I thought you’d stay and help Astro?

Atlas: And leave our fellow bots to the whims of that dopy dreamer? Please! I’ve only started to have my fun around here.

Vivian: Well…if you’re going to stay, at least learn how to take a bath!

Scene: Vivian drags a kicking, screaming Atlas behind her to his soapy water doom.

Flash to black
