Title: Rising From the Ashes Pt. 1
Narrator: Normally, I would start the episode with some random banter about how wonderful Little Tokyo is, but not today. Apparently there is a clause in the writers' contract that allows for them to write at least one episode that doesn't begin in Little Tokyo. With that in mind we head off into space where we find a little planet not far from the sun called Solaar. As we zoom in we see beautiful landscape, and if we zoom in even further we find our friend Dash talking with some of the planet's inhabitants.
Dash: Wow, this place is even better than the last time I was here.
Solarian: We have been working very hard to rebuild the planet since you left, o great one.
Dash: that's good to know. Oh. And please don't call me "O Great One" anymore.
Solarian: Yes, o great one.
Dash (rolls eyes): Oh brother...
Narrator: We leave Dash for now and return to Little Tokyo where we find Francine in a bit of a pickle...
Francine: WHERE IS THAT DASH????? That boy hasn't reported to work in 3 months! When I see that kid again, he is going to be in for a world of hurt!
Guido: Hey Fran, maybe he has had some personal stuff to deal with.
Fran (turns to Guido): HE IS STILL SUPPOSED TO COME TO WORK!!!!!!!
Guido (thinking): Man, she needs a vacation...
Narrator: Meanwhile, Speedy and Good Bird are in one of their daily little competitions
Speedy: Ha-ha, GB, you'll never beat me. I've always been the fastest delivery person. Not to mention I get bigger tips
GB: Yeah usually "GET A LIFE!" (Chuckles)
Speedy: Very funny. Last one back to the shop buys lunch, and I'm a big eater (races off)
GB: Hey come back here! (Flies after him)
Narrator: Those two will never change... Polly is back at the shop waiting for the lunch rush
Polly (thinking): Hmm, I wonder where Dash is. He disappeared awful quickly before the last battle.
Narrator: The Pizza Cats aren't the only one's busy right now though.
Big Cheese: I am so sick and tired of losing to those Pizza Cats.
Jerry Atrick: I'm sorry boss. But it's an unwritten rule. Good wins, bad loses
Big Cheese: BUT I WANT TO WIN JUST ONCE!!! (Cries)
Jerry: There now Cheesy, I'm sure you will one day.
Big Cheese: (calms down) I hope so too. (Light bulb comes on) I want you to make me the biggest strongest robot ever, one that not even the SPC can defeat.
Jerry: Uhh boss, you've asked me to do that before and the Pizza Cats still win.
Big Cheese: I don't care! BUILD IT NOW!!!
Jerry: You got it boss
Narrator: Uh-oh, Cheese may have finally gone off the deep end with this one. Meanwhile, back on planet Solaar...
Solarian Elder: Great One...
Dash: Yes?
Elder: We have brought you here to send you on another quest...
Dash: Another one? Man, that last one you sent me on almost killed me!
Elder: Yes, but you showed yourself worthy to be the bearer of the legendary armor. Now, there is an ancient sword, also used by the warrior who used that armor known as the Sword of the Phoenix. When used, it gives the bearer unimaginable power. For the wearer of this armor, it activates a "hyper mode" which will make you powerful beyond anything ever seen.
Dash (thinking): Man, you can get even MORE powerful? Dude, this is going to be killer on the special effects budget (to Elder) I will accept your quest. (Extends umbrella)
Narrator: And now prepare to witness one of the coolest transformation sequences in the short history of this program...
Dash: BY THE POWER OF LIGHT! (Transforms into battle armor)
Elder: Good luck, o great one... Oh and one more thing.
Dash: Yeah?
Elder: If it were to fall into the wrong hands...the planet could be in grave danger.
Dash: I will make sure that doesn't happen (exits)
Narrator: With that, Dash goes off on his quest. And now, thanks to the magic of television, we head back to check on the Samurai Pizza Cats, who aren't the only one's concerned about our young charge...
(Phone rings)
Francine: Pizza Cat Pizza where... (Pulls phone about 6 inches away from ear as person on the other end yells) Mrs. St. Pierre, I don't know where Dash is, he disappeared sometime yesterday (Continued yelling) Look, we will do our very best to find him. (Phone chatter) Yes ma'am. (More phone chatter) Yes we will call you when we find him. Uh-huh. Bye. (Hangs up) Man, looks like Dash isn't at home either. It looks like we will have to do without him for now. (Emergency alarm goes off) Its Big Al!
Narrator: Just as Francine predicted, it was Big Al Dente who appeared on the screen.
Big Al: Pizza Cats, Big Cheese has unleashed another massive and powerful robot on the city.
Francine: Should have figured. When will he learn...?
(Pizza Cats jump into their ovens)
Francine (over loudspeaker): Hang on everyone to your hats as we launch the Samurai Pizza Cats. If you aren't standing behind the white line then your ears certainly won't be feeling very fine. (To herself) And away we go! (Fires three shots)
Narrator: As the Pizza Cats are launched we see a familiar pair of faces
Junior: Mama, why don't the Samurai Pizza Cats take the bus when they go save the day?
Mama-san (as they fly over): Because that way is so much cheaper!
Narrator: And with that the Samurai Pizza Cats go off to save the citizens of Little Tokyo once again.
Speedy (as they are flying along): Well, Francine's birthday is coming up so what should we get her?
Guido (Sees they are about to hit a tree): How about some cannon firing lessons (The others look and see the tree and scream as they plow into it headfirst.)
Narrator: After recovering from their latest crash, the Pizza Cats go about finding this new robot.
Guido: Finding the robot won't be too hard, I hope. (A large foot stomps on the ground next to him)
Speedy (jumps back): Apparently he found us!
Jerry Atrick: Alright you cats! This is the end of the line!
Guido (thinking): Rats, we didn't even get to do our corny intro this time.
Jerry: Ninja Crows, ATTACK!!!
Narrator: And with that, the usual fight scene ensues. The writers wanted to save time so we cut to the end after the ninja crows have been defeated once again.
Jerry: Well Pizza Cats, time to meet your doom! (The Robot reappears and tries to step on the cats, but they jump out of the way)
Speedy: Well, time to do what we always do! (Unsheathes sword)
Polly: Let's see how you handle the power of love! (Throws heart explosives at it)
Guido: Hope you don't burn easily! (Fires his umbrella at it)
Narrator: After the smoke cleared from the two attacks, the robot stood there, unscathed.
Guido and Polly: WHAT THE...
Speedy: Let me handle this.
Narrator: And yes with that little piece of banter we now can see the power and might that is the Magical Ginzu Sword!
Speedy: (Powers up Cat's Eye Slash) Hope you like your bird extra crispy...HEEYAH! (Slashes at the robot but it merely bounced off) HUH???
Narrator: What's this? Big Cheese has made a robot that can't be destroyed by Speedy's signature attack? This doesn't look good for our heroes
Jerry: HAHA!! See this robot has been built to withstand all of your attacks! Now you get to see what it can do
Narrator: Oh no! What cruel evil, effects budget busting things have they come up with!
(A pair of cannons fire at the Pizza Cats knocking them all to the ground). Well that wasn't all that impressive!
Jerry: Yes, but it sure was effective. Look.
Speedy: Man, what a fine time for the Rescue Team to be on vacation. (Collapses with the others)
Narrator: Oh no! This looks like it really is the end for the Samurai Pizza Cats! No one is left to save them! Or is there...Will Dash be able to complete his quest? Is he too late to help his friends? Will Big Cheese finally defeat the Pizza Cats? Will someone other than the Yankees win the AL East? Find out the answers to all these things (except the part about the Yankees) on Part 2 of "Rising from the Ashes" on Samurai Pizza Cats: Evolutions!
