Act 2
--------------------------------------------------
At the Juice Bar, Tommy and Katherine were seated at the counter, as Lt. Stone was behind it, serving customers. Stone's niece, Jenny Hunter, was waiting tables. Bulk and Skull, still trapped in the bodies of monkeys, sat nearby on another table. Just then, Ashley came running in with a ticket envelope, gleefully screaming, "I won! I won! I'm going to see the Roaches!"
Tommy said to Kat and Jenny, "Hey, Ashley won! Cool. Free tickets to the Roaches! What I wouldn't do to get my hands on those!"
Jenny rhetorically asked, "Would you sing in public?"
Upon hearing that question, Lt. Stone reached under the counter and pulled up a portable Karaoke machine, prompting Kat to ask, "Huh? Is that one of those sing-along things, a Karaoke machine?"
"That's right. The Songbird 2000. Jenny thought it would be good for business to host a sing-along night. And I have a great prize for the first contest..." replied Stone, as he again reached under the counter, and this time pulled up a ticket envelope.
Awestruck, Tommy asked, "No way! Roaches tickets?"
Lt. Stone calmly answered,
"Front and center. So will I be seeing you two at the
sing-along?"
Kat replied, "I don't know."
"Thanks, but singing isn't my thing." quipped Tommy, who took a good gulp from his drink.
At the other table, the Bulk and Skull chimps overheard everything, as Skull told Bulk about Tommy's singing skills, "He's right. I've heard him sing. That's a bad idea."
Bulk agreed, "Yeah, but it may be a good idea for us."
"Huh?" asked
Skull.
Bulk said, "Come on, Skull. We've got some practicing
to do."
The two simians then got off their table and left.
Meanwhile, in Angel Grove Park, Carlos and Adam were practicing some soccer moves. A middle-aged man sat nearby and had a large boom-box. There was a pay phone near as well. While the two teens did some amazing soccer moves, the ticket scream was heard on the radio, followed by Tanya's voice saying, "Call now to win our last pair of tickets to tonight's sold-out concert!"
Upon hearing that announcement, Carlos asked Adam excitedly, "Adam, did you hear that? The last pair!"
Adam pointed at the pay phone and told his soccer buddy, "Come on!"
The boom-box man at the bench had eyed the phone as well, and the three raced to the booth. Unfortunately for Adam and Carlos, the boom-box man got there first, dialed the numer, and shouted excitedly, "Hello! I won! I won the tickets!"
Adam and Carlos both looked disappointed and started to walk away.
"Sure, I'll hold." said the boom-box man, when Divatox's periscope popped up from a nearby water source.
Inside the Subcraft, a sneering Divatox stepped away from her periscope and said furiously after getting a look at the boom-box man, "No! That nobody's going to get the tickets instead of a certain somebody!"
Elgar, who was nearby, asked confused, "Huh?"
Divatox barked the following orders at a huge army of Piranhatrons, "Piranhatrons, stop that nobody, and make sure the somebody gets the tickets!"
Back in the park, the boom-box man was still waiting on the phone, when the Piranhatrons showed up, scaring the boom-box man, who quickly ran away in a panic, leaving the phone dangling. Adam and Carlos turned around when they heard the boom-box man scream, and saw the Piranhatrons.
Adam shouted at the Piranhatrons, "Hey! Leave that guy alone!"
"As you wish!" said one Piranhatron, as the humanoid fish soldiers attacked!
Adam ducked a few punches from three Piranhatrons, then took Piranhatron #1 down with a sweep kick, hit Piranhatron #2 with a thrust to the chin, and downed Piranhatrons #3, #4, and #5 with a triple-punch/thrust kick/jump-kick combo.
Carlos executed a soccer tackle on Piranhatron #6, hit a double clothesline on Piranhatrons #7 and #8, and finally clocked Piranhatrons #9 and #10's heads together.
These beatings forced the Piranhatrons to retreat, as Carlos asked Adam, "What's with them, Adam? Ever since I met you, I keep running into monsters."
Adam just shrugged it off by saying, "I'm sure it's just your imagination, Carlos."
As Adam tried to change the subject, the two men could hear Tanya's voice coming from the phone, "Hello? Hello?"
Carlos ran over to the phone, picked up the receiver, and asked, "Hello?"
Tanya then announced, "Congratulations, you've just won tickets to the Roaches' concert!"
Carlos whooped with excitement, as he turned to Adam and said, "Whoo! Let's go!"
Knowing that something wasn't right after the recent Piranhatron attack just now, Adam said, "Great Carlos, but I'd better meet you there. I gotta check something first."
"OK. See ya there." replied Carlos, who then walked off. Adam looked around and teleported out when the coast was clear...
At the Power Chamber, Adam teleported in. A ticket envelope was on the console. Justin and Alpha 6 were at the medical table working on the Blue Senturion.
Adam approached Justin, asking him, "Hey Justin. What's going on?"
Justin explained, as he handed Alpha a screwdriver, "Alpha and I are trying to retrieve that message that Divatox destroyed."
"What brings you here, Greeny?" asked Alpha.
Adam responded, "I was attacked by fish heads in the park."
Uninterested, Alpha said, "That happens all the time. Why would it make the headlines today?"
Adam then explained, "I was with Carlos. And I got the feeling that they weren't just after me."
Dimitria asked, "Adam, what is it you are thinking?"
"I don't know, but something is going on." replied Adam, who then noticed the envelope and asked, "What's this?"
Justin answered, "Roaches tickets. They were in the mail box, but I can't go. It's a school night. You want them?"
Adam politely declined, telling his fellow Turbo Ranger, "No thanks. I'm already going. But I can stay and help you with Blue Senturion until I have to meet Carlos."
"Cool." said Justin with a smile, as the three went back to work on Blue Senturion.
Back at the Juice Bar, a stage area had been set up for the sing-along with the Karaoke machine. Tommy and Kat were still seated, as Jenny was working the counter, fiddling with the radio, as Tanya's voice boomed out, "And the last pair of tickets go to Carlos Chavez Vallertes."
Kat asked Tommy, "Hey, isn't he Adam's friend?"
"Yeah. Some guys have all the luck." sighed Tommy.
Jenny interjected, "Talk about luck. I just found this in my purse." She showed them a ticket envelope.
"You found a Roaches ticket in your purse?" asked Kat.
"Yeah, cool, huh? I'm pretty sure that Uncle Jerome gave them to me, but he denied it. Oh well, I'm just psyched to go." replied Jenny with a big grin.
Tommy returned the smile and said, "Have fun."
Jenny then moved off, as Tommy groaned to Kat, "Man, everyone's going but us."
Kat pointed out, "There's still the Karaoke contest."
Speaking of which, on the stage were Bulk and Skull, as they held microphones.
Skull asked, "Bulkie, are you sure this is going to work?"
Bulk responded, "Sure. When they see how well we sing, they'll know we are really humans."
Skull muttered, "I guess there's only one thing left to do."
"It's time for our rendition of "Feelings"." said Bulk, as Skull turned the machine on, but instead of melodic music ensuing, the monkeys' shrieking filled the air. Everyone, including Tommy, Kat, and Jenny, covered their ears, and several glasses shattered, including some on a tray Lt. Stone is carrying.
Stone was not pleased, as he shouted at the two apes, "You two, get away from there!" He shoo'ed them away, as Tommy nonchalantly remarked, "I think I'd better plan on not going to the concert, unless Tanya has any leftover tickets."
Meanwhile, back at KAGV, Tanya was preparing to leave for the day, when Mr. Marshall came in, saying, "I'm going home now."
Tanya said, "Bye."
Mr. Marshall also added, "Oh, we're expecting a promotional item, Tanya. Sign for it if it comes, OK?"
"Sure thing, boss. Bye." responded Tanya, as Mr. Marshall exited the station.
Tanya thought to herself, as she also exited, "Promotional item what could it be? Hmm, it's probably something for tonight's concert."
As she exited the KAGV radio station, Tanya found herself face-to-face with the Rockin' Roach, struck a fighting stance, and said, "That better be the promotional item, I hope!"
Rockin' Roach asked, "Want some free concert tickets?"
"Who are you?" asked Tanya.
"Let's just say we have a mutual friend" remarked Rockin' Roach, who threw the tickets into the air. They landed on the ground, and when Tanya bent down to pick them up, Rockin' Roach vanished.
Confused, Tanya asked herself, "Where'd he go? He's probably up to no good...!" She then teleported away.
Meanwhile, at the Juice Bar car park, Tommy and Kat were walking towards Tommy's car, when all of a sudden, two Piranhatrons appeared. It's now a stand-off!
