MONSTER BUSTER CLUB

Season 3 Episode 1

Attack of the Clones (Part 1)

Chapter 1

(Narrator POV)

The four opened the classroom door and got out of Mr. Fusster's class. School was over and they walked to their lockers.

"I've had enough listening to him," said Cathy. "Ever since he started to say that humans are the only intelligent life forms in the galaxy, I hated science!" She crossed her arms.

"Well, science isn't all that bad," said Chris. "It also has a more interesting side if you read more about it."

"Be careful, Cathy," said Sam. "If you act more like that, you may leak information about the MBC."

"Right! That's even worse than getting detentions if we argue with him," said Danny, opening his locker.

They all got into their lockers and drove their pods to the clubhouse.

(Cathy POV)

As soon as I got out of my pod, I was so tired that I fell into Danny's arms. He put me on his back and put his arms around me. Then he carried me along. His strong arms were so comfortable and his back was so warm!

"You really need some rest," he said, gently putting me on the sofa.

I stared at him, not knowing what to say.

"Sorry I fell into you arms. I didn't mean to…"

"No, that's fine," he interrupted. "MBC Rule no.3, members should always help each other," he said with a confident look.

I looked into his eyes and appreciated them immediately. They were as green as two shiny emeralds glowing brightly. For a while I was deeply attracted by his appearance. He looked really handsome! But soon I felt tired again. I smiled at him and quickly fell asleep on the sofa.

(Chris POV)

Cathy was lying on the sofa and Danny was walking towards me.

"What's up, buddy?" he asked. "Any traces of aliens?"

"Still nothing," I replied. "It's been a week since we busted the last one."

"You mean the virus we busted when we were quarantined in outer space?" asked Sam.

"Exactly," I replied. "By the way, that was a close one. We almost got lost in space."

"Not when the Danny heroically saved the day by preventing Cathy from leaving the clubhouse," Danny said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Sam was clearly annoyed.

"Well, it seems that the boss lady doesn't appreciate what I did, blasting that annoying little droid," Danny teased her.

Sam crossed her arms and marched away. I have always admired Sam for her outstanding leadership abilities. Although she can sometimes be bossy, it is really nice to have someone do the planning job. She had a tough body and a kind heart.

Wouldn't it be nice if … I had a girlfriend like her?

No! Chris, get real! She is a mastery of fighting and physical moves and you are just a weak guy spending days and nights on your computer! Forget it!

Something touched my shoulder. I turned around and saw Danny.

"You've stared at Sam for a long time. Do you really …"

"Don't you say a word!" I warned him. "It's just …"

"Fine," he said. "Secrets are safe with the Danny." And he walked away.

(Narrator POV)

The hologram of the Galactic Commander suddenly appeared.

"SMITH!" he shouted with all of his strength.

Cathy jumped from the sofa while Chris, Danny and Sam rushed to the hologram.

"Yes, Commander!" Mr. Smith dashed into the clubhouse and saluted.

"Attention Monster Buster Club," the Galactic Commander began. "I have serious news for all of you."

"What could possibly go wrong?" asked Danny.

The Commander coughed for a while and then continued, "A scientist from another planet stole your DNA and created four clones that looked just like the four of you. He was arrested just a moment ago but we couldn't find traces of the four clones in his laboratory. However, we learned that their code numbers are CA-97, CH-15, SA-2 and DA-34. Our intelligence reports that they escaped from the lab and are heading towards planet Earth."

"Although their intentions are unknown to us, you must prevent them from taking over your planet," he continued. "An easy way to identify them is that all four of them have white hair. Track them down and arrest them. Be careful as the clones may know what you four are thinking at the moment. Report back to me if you encounter any difficulties. Wish you good luck!"

With these words, the hologram disappeared.

"BEEP…BEEP…BEEP" The alarm went off.

"Alien alert!" cried Chris. "Trouble in the school gym!"

"The clones are probably in action," said Mr. Smith. "Take extra care as the commander warned you. The clones may know more than you do."

"Don't worry, Grandpa," replied Cathy. "We'll take care of ourselves."

"Are you still feeling tired, Cathy?" asked Danny, tapping her shoulder.

"No, my body recovered quickly," replied Cathy. "Thanks for asking."

She thought, 'He's such a sweet and caring person!'

"MBC, power up!" they shouted as they transformed into their uniform.

The four jumped into their pods and raced to the school gym.

(Cathy POV)

We got out of our pods, took out our blasters and proceeded cautiously into the gym. There was no one inside.

"Chris, a-scan," said Sam. Chris took out the a-scanner.

"Strange," said Chris. "There are … OUCH!"

I turned to see him lying on the floor. A long limb, like a fully stretched Rhapsodian's limb, had tripped him over!

"Hi there," said a voice. "I'm CA-97 to eliminate you!"

I turned around to see a person who looked just like me, except that she has white hair. It was obvious that CA-97 was my clone. To make things worse, she had my Rhapsodian powers too!

"Don't you dare hurting my friend!" I shouted.

I grabbed her with one arm and swung her across the gym. Then I saw another Chris trying to grab his blaster from his hand!

"CH-15 here. Let go or I'll blast you!" said the clone.

"Never!" shouted Chris. Sam threw herself in the air and kicked the clone away before Danny blasted him to the wall.

"Watch out!" I shouted. Sam's clone, SA-2, rushed behind Sam and knocked her over. I reached out my arm to help her, but another stretched arm grabbed my leg and threw me up in the air. I hit the wall and fell to the floor. My clone used my Rhapsodian powers on me!

I stood up to see that Chris was trapped in a purple bubble by his clone. Sam got up quickly and fought SA-2 with the same moves. Then I happened to notice that someone standing on the stands was aiming his weapon at me!

"Cathy, duck!" Danny shouted and pushed me to the floor.

"AAARRRGGGHHH!" Blue light appeared around his body and he became smaller. He was sucked into a vacuvator!

"DA-34's ambush was successful, although my actual target was the Rhapsodian girl," his clone said and jumped down from the stands. Oh no, Danny was trapped in the small green container!

"Hi-ya," Sam kicked SA-2 to the door as I chased after DA-34, trying to get Danny back. CA-97 stretched her leg again and tripped us over. We watched as the four clones escaped hurriedly through the door. We got up and ran after them out of the gym. Sam took out the a-scanner but there was no sign of the clones anywhere. How could they have escaped so quickly?

"Company halt!" Principal Rollins shouted and marched towards us.

"Oh no!" I whispered. "We're still in out uniform!"

"What on earth are you wearing, soldier? I mean, student." She demanded, still marching towards us.

"Uh … we were just rehearsing a play in the school gym," I replied. "It has been arranged as a surprise for you so … excuse us if you don't mind."

We did not wait for her to say another word before we rushed back into the school gym and jammed the door.

"Nice speech, Cathy," said Sam.

"Help!" cried Chris and we released him from the bubble he was trapped in.

"Quick! We need to get back to the clubhouse to gather more information," said Sam. "The clones got Danny."

At that moment I stopped running and thought about Danny. He sacrificed himself just to save me. Luckily for him, DA-34 was only holding a vacuvator, not some kind of lethal blasters. But how could he be so brave? I would have been the one stuck in the small green container now if he didn't push me to the floor. Does he really care so much about me? Tears ran out from my eyes as Chris comforted me.

"Don't worry, Cathy," he said. "Danny will be with us in no time."

"But we must hurry if we are to catch the clones," Sam added.

I nodded, hoping that nothing bad has happened to Danny. The three of us got into our pods and went back to the clubhouse.
