Part II
"Wahooo we did it!" Doripo landed in an opulent room in a giant golden castle. "I told you this plan would work!"
"I gotta admit Doripo, I had my doubts!" Blancipo said grinning at Shane. "But when you are right you are right!"
"You maniacs better untie me or else…" Shane wriggled in his bonds.
"Oh dear, maybe we should calm him down or something?" Rosipo suggested.
"Don't get your magic panties in a twist Rosipo," Blancipo sniffed.
"Relax dear sister you worry too much," Doripo said. "Once we bring him to our sister the Empress everything will be okay."
"You know we could clean him up first," Blancipo grinned. "Give him a nice bath."
"Oh no you don't," Shane hissed. "You stay away from me!"
"Don't tease him like that!" Rosipo snapped.
"Who's teasing?" Blancipo asked.
"You know it might not be a bad idea if we do clean him up a little?" Doripo thought.
"Well uh I guess if we're only going to make him more presentable to the Empress…But just that, Blancipo!" Rosipo snapped. "I mean this is for her after all!"
"I know that but there's nothing wrong with giving him a little test run," Blancipo said.
"Do whatever you want to me," Shane said bitterly, looking away. "I'm nothing but an object to people like you. I should be used to it by now."
"What?" Doripo blinked. "An object?"
"I'm the only sane survivor of a super soldier genetic experimentation project," Shane told them. "In order to survive I have to hunt down my former team mates and do whatever dirty job the Board of Leaders sends me on. I'm not even a real person to them. Just a weapon. A tool for them to use as they see fit with no choice in the matter."
"Oh you poor baby," Blancipo sniffed. She knelt down next to him. "No wonder you're so hostile. You've been treated badly haven't you?"
Shane nodded and looked away in shame. "It wouldn't surprise me if they just left me to rot. It happens every time I think I've found people I can trust. My heart just gets broken all over again." He winced in agony. "It still hurts no matter how much I try to harden it."
"Maybe I can help heal it?" Blancipo put her hand on his chest.
"My heart's a little lower," Shane told her.
"What here?" Blancipo moved her hand down.
"Yeah, there…." Shane grinned as his badge glowed.
"What the…?" Blancipo blinked as Shane's series five powers activated.
Shane called upon his series five implant to activate his bio-defenses, giving him strength to free himself from his bonds. "Thanks for activating my implant," He smirked.
"But…But you said…" Blancipo backed away.
"Heh, it's a living," Shane said. "Which is more than what you'll be doing! Last I checked kidnapping an officer of the law is a crime! And so is sexual harassment and attempted rape!"
"Oh please I wouldn't go that far," Blancipo rolled her eyes. "Oh wait I would."
"So what? We'll just catch him again!" Doripo used her powers to shoot out more ribbon. Which Shane tore to pieces. "On the other hand…"
"Careful! We can't hurt him!" Rosipo warned.
"Yeah but he can hurt us!" Doripo snapped.
"Don't worry I'll just send a low power energy blast to stun him!" Rosipo charged up her powers. "Energy Pulse!"
The pulse hit Shane but he was ready for it. A red aura enveloped his body as he touched his badge. "Thanks! This helps!" He started shooting off energy beams at the witches who scattered.
"Great move! Now he's shooting off energy at us!" Blancipo snapped at her sister while Shane blew up statues all around them.
"How was I supposed to know he could do that?" Rosipo snapped. "How is he doing that?"
"It's that badge of his," Doripo said. "That must be activating his mutant powers somehow! Blancipo! You know what to do!"
"Yeah," She nodded. "What?"
"What you do best you mutant moron!" Doripo snapped. "Act like a hormonally crazed lunatic!"
"Oh right!" Blancipo nodded and activated her powers. "XY STRIP PANTS PURLOIN!"
Shane fell back as his pants and boots were yanked off. "Now I'm mad!" Shane roared as he let off another full blast of energy.
"You were supposed to take off his shirt! Not his pants!" Rosipo shouted.
"Sorry," Blancipo apologized. "I usually take them off first! Old habits are hard to break."
"I'll break you!" Shane roared as he attacked them, blasting energy at them.
"RUN! RUN REALLY FAST AND FAR AWAY!" Doripo jumped out of reach.
Standing above a ledge watching the insanity was another young woman with purple skin and long lavender hair in a high ponytail. She wore a crystal crown upon her head and a long jacket and elegant pantsuit of purple, red and black. She had a pair of lavender eyes that looked upon the scene with no amusement at all.
"And to think," She sighed. "There are people who wonder why the Po Empire declined so rapidly."
Meanwhile Blancipo managed to get off another stripping volley and this time it hit Shane in the chest. "Got it!" She cackled as she grabbed his shirt.
"Okay now get him!" Rosipo shouted as she and her sisters tackled and tried to subdue Shane in his underwear.
Tried is the word here.
"Look why don't you just be a good boy and…HEY! STOP THAT!" Doripo struggled.
"OW! DON'T BITE ME! IF YOU DO THE UNDERWEAR IS COMING OFF NEXT!" Blancipo snapped.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU PERVERTS!" Shane struggled to defend his honor.
"ALL RIGHT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
Everyone stopped in their tracks. "Uh oh…" Doripo gulped nervously as the fourth young woman stormed up to them. "Uh Hello Empress Sophipo…We were just…"
"I know what you lunatics were doing! I could see the whole thing from my balcony!" Sophipo snapped. "What the hell do you think you're doing? Answer me you three little maniacs before I knock your blocks off!"
"You said to get the guy that broke the spell and bring him here," Blancipo said. "And we did."
"I told you to explain our situation and then bring him here!" Sophipo snapped at them. "Not once did I mention the words kidnapping or stripping!"
"I told them they were going too far but they didn't listen…" Rosipo began.
"OH SHUT UP YOU SUCK UP!" Her sisters shouted at her.
"I am not a suck up! You are idiots!" Rosipo snapped.
"You are the idiot, idiot!" Blancipo snapped.
"Don't call her an idiot seeing that you're the head idiot!" Doripo snapped.
"I thought that was you?" Rosipo sneered.
"Why you little…" Doripo tried to strangle her. Soon all three sisters were trying to beat the stuffing out of each other.
"Look I am really sorry about this," Sophipo apologized to Shane while the sisters fought amongst themselves. "Really it's just I turn my back for a century and they get out of control! They're like a cross between teenagers and two year olds! Believe me this is not the way I wanted things to go here!"
"Perverts…" Shane snapped as he whirled around and retrieved his clothing. "I am out of here!"
"Look before you leave don't you want to know why the three not so wise women over here kidnapped you?" Sophipo asked. "Believe it or not there is a reason."
"I don't care what it is Lady," Shane snapped as he got in her face. "There's nothing you can do or say to stop me from…"
Then Shane saw something that changed his mind.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Goose? Goooooose? Here Goosey Goosey Goosey!" Bubblehead cried out as he flew around the city. He had gotten lost. (No surprises there.) "Come out, come out wherever you are!"
He flew into a large garden. "Hmmm…No Goose here." He heard some off key warbling. "What's that?"
In the garden was another memory bird. She was white with long brown feathers on her head that flowed past her wings. She was wearing a pink dress and a purple choker on her neck.
"You don't need to be a computer programmer to turn me on," She sang as she danced around. "I'm online twenty four seven from dusk to dawn!"
"Hoooo Momma!" Bubblehead's eyes popped out of his sockets for a moment. "What a babe!"
"You don't have to be Rich or Chuck or Steve you don't have to go out for New Year's Eve," She dance around, oblivious. Especially to the glares some real birds were giving her. "I just want to dance and sing and…HEY! Where are you going?"
The real birds had had enough and flew off. "Come back! I haven't even gotten to the good part yet. Ohhhh…Somebody give a chick a chance will ya?" She blinked.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllll…" Bubblehead warbled like a drunken Elvis impersonator. "Since those birdies left ya…You got nothing to tell. But you can always count on me to…Well…"
"Oooh! I likey!" The female memory bird twittered as Bubblehead danced around.
"I'm feeling so silly I could cry…" Both birds sang.
"Professor Bubblehead," Bubblehead made a bow.
"Princess Ditzy," The female memory bird curtsied.
"Don't have to go out on New Year's Eve…" Bubblehead warbled as the two birds circled each other.
"Don't have to be Rich or Chuck or Steve…" Ditzy sang back. "I'm not really that picky at all…"
"I just want to go out and sing and have a ball!" Both birds sang together before lovingly touching their beaks together.
Then a short circuit sparked between the two birds and they both accidentally zapped each other with electricity. "Wow…What a kisser…" Bubblehead moaned as he lay on the ground.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"It's a good thing we had our other uniforms on hand," Zach grumbled as he wondered what to do next. "Not to mention other clothes on hand for the senators and other dignitaries."
"Too bad we don't have something to calm down Premier Dutch's wife," Doc pointed at the crowd.
On the floor was a broken android of a large, fat older man. "Q-Bee! You are so dead when I get home!" His very young, very blonde wife Madonna screeched in a high pitched Brooklyn accent. "Every time I want to go out someplace nice he pulls this trick on me! Android double for national security my butt! More like an android double for when he wants to sneak down to the bar with his friends and watch the ball game!"
"I don't know why I'm shocked," Walsh groaned. "This has only happened about every time we've met up with him!"
"Look we need to go and rescue Goose," Maya had changed her outfit into her usual tiger striped leotard complete with a staff.
"We?" Niko gave her a look.
"Goose is my friend too," She told her. "I'm not going to sit back and just let those witches have their way with him!"
"So how do we get out of here?" Doc asked.
"Can't we just go to the hangar bay?" Niko asked.
"We tried that but when we fell into the tower some circuits shorted out and the hangar bay door is jammed," Doc told her. "And even if we did manage to get in there well…You know how the space station fell to the side and how everything not tied down slid over and crashed?"
"Don't tell me," Walsh groaned.
"Let's just say there's one big mess in the hanger bay," Doc groaned.
"We can't exactly walk down either," Zozo looked out the window.
"We've got a solution," Zach Jr. said. His sister hand helped him pull out three silver hover bikes. "Jessie and I scavenged these from one of the school's labs."
"We can fly out through that window," Jessica pointed out where the witches had escaped.
"We? What do you mean we?" Zach snapped. "There is no we here. Doc, Niko, Maya and I will go."
"Someone has to stay behind and help guard the dignitaries and Senators," Walsh pointed out.
"Don't worry Dad! We'll find Goose!" Zach Jr. took off on one of the hover bikes with his sister riding behind him.
"KIDS! COME BACK HERE!" Zach shouted.
"Don't worry Captain! We'll keep an eye on them!" Doc flew off with Maya and Niko on their scooters. Maya was riding behind Doc on his scooter.
CRASH!
"I just wish they'd keep their eyes on their flying," Walsh groaned as Doc crashed into an expensive vase as he flew away.
"COME BACK HERE!" Zach waved his arms. "KIDS! NOT AGAIN!"
"I'd go after them Ranger Foxx but it seems I'm a bit out of sorts," Buzzwang spoke. His arms and legs had separated. "I knew I should have gone for a tune up before the party."
"All I want is a little peace and order in my world," Zach groaned. "Is that so much to ask?"
All of the sudden there was a poof of smoke. "Attention people in the big metal thing that crashed onto our city," A tall purple woman in black with black hair hiccupped. She was riding a giant pink flower. "We will evacuate you shortly. Please step on the big flower here for a ride. But first, does anyone have any booze on 'em? I fly better drunk."
"Apparently it is," Zach sighed.
"Cool man," Nimrod was impressed.
Meanwhile the others were flying through the city. "I bet if we find Bubblehead we'll find Goose," Zach Jr. said.
"Sure where do we start?" Doc asked.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHERE THE BATHROOMS ARE?" They heard Mogul screaming. "YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE BEFORE WE LEFT!"
"I did go," Larry whined. "I have to go again!"
"How about down there?" Niko pointed to a city street where Larry and Mogul were arguing.
"Just pick a wall or something!" Mogul snapped.
"I can't do that!" Larry whimpered. "It's unhygienic."
"Oh great now what?" Mogul snapped as he saw the Rangers and the others approach.
"Mogul! We want to talk to you!" Maya snapped.
"Well unless they are where the little demon's room is we're not interested!" Larry snapped.
"Hey weren't the other bad guys with you?" Zach Jr. looked around.
"The term my dear lad is either professional villains or morally challenged," Mogul put his hands on his hips and swirled his tail around.
"We dumped 'em a few minutes ago," Larry said as he hopped around. "And speaking of which does anyone know where the rest room is?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Somewhere in the bowels of the city.
"MaCross we're lost," Dawdle groaned.
"Yeah and I have to go to the bathroom," Chugga said.
"Oh pick a wall or something!" MaCross snapped.
"How unhygienic," Slade sniffed. "Hey, what's that over there?"
They walked into a giant chamber with gold covered walls, floors and a ceiling to match. Not to mention piles and piles of gold and jewels littering the floor. "Boys! We just hit pay dirt!" MaCross whooped.
"How about we split it?" Slade asked. "You take that side of the room and I'll take the other side?"
"How about you don't take anything and leave it alone?" They turned around and saw that there was a six foot tall young woman with purple skin, short blonde hair standing behind them. She was wearing a black halter top with skin tight black pants, black boots and a black knee length coat as well as silver earrings and bracelets.
"Who's gonna make us Sweetheart?" Dawdle sneered.
"I am," The woman pointed to herself. "Magistrate Lindsey. I guess you can call me the sheriff of these parts."
"Oh yeah and how exactly are you gonna stop us?" Slade asked. "I don't exactly see a blaster on you."
"I don't need them," Lindsey smiled as seven large cat sized butterflies with multi colored wings appeared. "Not with my back up squad."
"Butterflies?" MaCross laughed. "You expect us to get scared over a bunch of butterflies?"
"Po Mutant Butterflies," Lindsey grinned as the eyes of the butterflies began to glow. They started to shoot out heat beams at the bandits.
"AAAHHH!" The bad guys screamed as they were nearly blasted apart by butterflies.
"BUTTERFLIES! RUN FROM THE BUTTERFLIES!" Slade screamed.
"Great! We're lost in an alien city on the run from a lunatic with killer butterflies!" MaCross yelled as he ran for his life. "Can this day get any worse?"
"Let me put it to you this way…" Chugga groaned. "I don't have to go to the bathroom anymore."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Back to the others…
"Where's Goose?" Maya snapped. "We want answers!"
"Look I don't have time for this!" Mogul snapped. "I've got a city's treasures to plunder so buzz off!" He disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"And I've got a bathroom to find!" Larry disappeared as well.
"Oh great," Zach Jr. groaned. "How do we always end up in situations like this?"
"I'll take a guess that it might be because you and your sister are running around in places you shouldn't?" Doc gave him a look. "Me, I'm paid to do crazy stuff like this."
"La, la, la, la, la, la…" Both Bubblehead and Ditzy flew their way.
"Bubblehead!" Jessica called out.
"Hi guys! Hey I want you to meet my girl here!" Bubblehead introduced the female memory bird. "Say hello Ditzy!"
"Hello Ditzy!" She warbled as she landed on Doc's head.
"Another memory bird?" Zach Jr. asked.
"Wonderful," Doc groaned as he rolled his eyes.
"Bubblehead have you seen Goose?" Niko asked.
"That's a silly question Niko," Bubblehead rolled his eyes. "Of course I've seen him! How can you miss a nearly seven foot tall blond haired Supertrooper?"
"So where is he?" Maya asked.
"I dunno," Bubblehead blinked. "Is he missing?"
"So much for that theory," Doc groaned.
"Maybe he's around here?" Ditzy looked and fluttered down to a nearby bush. She stuck her head in it. "Hello? Goose? Goose?" She flew back onto Doc's shoulder. "Are you Goose?"
"No," Doc groaned. "Great just what we need. Another memory bird exactly like Bubblehead!"
"Are you Goose?" Ditzy landed on Niko's shoulder.
"No, I'm Niko," She replied.
"Hi Niko! I'm Ditzy! Who are we looking for again?" She blinked.
"They certainly named her right," Maya groaned. She saw something in the sky. "What is that?"
"Transport flower," Ditzy looked up at a giant orange flower floating in the sky. "Much more economically efficient than cars. Oh and there are some royal guards riding it! Hi there!"
"HELLO! TAXI!" Bubblehead whistled.
"Uh Bubblehead I don't think you should have done that," Doc gulped as the flower floated towards them. Actually they were flying fast towards them.
"SLOW DOWN RAIN! YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST AGAIN!" One of the female guards shouted.
"DUCK!" Doc yelled and they fell to the ground.
"I thought we were looking for Goose?" Bubblehead scratched his head.
"Get down here!" Doc yanked him out of the way before they were nearly run over by the flying flowers.
CRASH!
The giant flower crashed right into a building. "Who's bright idea was it to let Rain drive?" One purple skinned female guard moaned as she stumbled around in a black and orange uniform.
"Ooh look at all the stars…" Another female guard groaned as she fell to the ground.
"You did it again Rain!" A third female guard snapped at the one on the ground as she stumbled away from the flower. "Oh my spine…"
"This place is nuts," Doc grumbled.
"There they are!" More female royal guards approached carrying staffs. "Get them!"
"It's time to stand and fight!" Maya held her ground.
"Maya no!" Niko said. "We need to talk to them!"
"They kidnapped Goose! I say we're past talking!" Maya readied her staff. To her surprise she was suddenly lifted in mid air. "WHOAAAH! I can't move!"
"On the other hand maybe talking isn't such a bad idea?" Doc gulped.
"Telekinetic…" Niko realized. She activated her powers to push the royal guards away. She found herself fighting off a few female guards.
"Are you a mutant too?" One female guard asked.
"Just what we need! Another mutant chick around here!" Another female guard groaned.
"I'm not a mutant," Niko told them as she fought.
"Good, then I won't feel bad about doing this!" Another female guard zapped her from behind with her staff and knocked her unconscious.
"Niko!" Jessica yelled and started hitting the female guard who zapped her.
"AWK! FIGHT THE POWER! FIGHT THE POWER!" Bubblehead and Ditzy joined in by rapidly attacking the guard.
"OW! HEY! STOP THAT!" The female guard yelled. "I'm just doing my job here! Come on! OW!"
"Ladies, can't we talk about this?" Doc gulped as two guards tackled him.
"Hey this woman looks different than the others," One guard said.
"That's because it's a man you dipstick!" The other female guard hit her on the head. "I know it's been a while since you've seen one but come on!"
"Is he a mutant?" Another female guard asked.
"Who cares?" Rain sat up promptly. "IT'S A MAN!"
"I saw him first!" One of the female guards that tackled Doc said proudly.
"No you didn't! He's mine!" The other female guard hit him.
"Mine! Mine!" Several female guards made a beeline towards Doc and started yanking him around.
"Hey! Watch it! Ladies! Please! WATCH THOSE HANDS!" Doc yelled as he tried to fight for his life and honor. "WHOA! HELP!"
"SPEAKING OF HELP I COULD USE SOME HERE!" The female guard getting pounded by Jessica and the two memory birds screamed.
"Oh for crying out loud…" The guard holding Maya telekinetically groaned. "Do I have to do everything around here? Hey!" She nearly lost her concentration as Zach Jr. tried to tackle him. "Bertie!"
"Yes Captain Woostah! I got it!" A female guard ran up and grabbed Zach Jr. from behind. "Hey is this a man too?"
"Not exactly," Captain Woostah sighed. "He's a bit under the legal age limit for us."
"I got a younger sister that has a birthday coming up," Bertie told her. "He'd be perfect for her."
"Don't even think about it!" Jessica then started to attack Bertie. "That's my brother you witch!"
"I'm not a witch! I'm just a sergeant! Although I'd love a promotion one of these days…OW!" Bertie yelled.
"One Adam twelve! One Adam twelve! Riot in progress! Riot in progress!" Bubblehead screamed as he chased the other female guard around.
"STOP IT! NO MEANS NO!" Somehow Doc had gotten free but his shirt and pants had been torn off. The female guards were chasing him in his underwear. "HELP!"
"FIGHT THE POWER! FIGHT THE POWER!" Ditzy attacked another guard. "I AM DITZY! HEAR ME ROAR!"
"THIS IS CAPTAIN WOOSTAH! I NEED BACK UP NOW!" She screamed into her communicator.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Niko slowly opened her eyes and found Zach looking at her. "Oh my head…What happened?" She asked as she sat up on a soft couch.
"What didn't happen?" Doc groaned as leaned against the wall. He was fully dressed again.
"Our rescue mission sort of backfired and we ended up getting captured," Maya sighed.
"Aww…Niko okay?" Ditzy twittered. She and Bubblehead were on the couch as well.
"I'm fine," Niko looked around. She was in a huge lavish room where all the other senators from the reception were. "What are you doing here?"
"We got taken on a magic flower ride," Zach groaned. "Literally!"
"What happened to them?" Niko asked as she saw MaCross, Slade and the other two outlaws tied up and in a corner. They were all in fetal positions looking shell shocked.
"We don't know," Zach said. "They just dumped them here and we tied 'em up. They didn't exactly put up much of a fight."
"No butterflies…" Slade was rocking back and forth. "Now we're safe from the evil butterflies! HA HA HA!"
"I can't wait to go to jail," Dawdle moaned. "Oh how I miss jail!"
"I don't miss jail!" Reggit snapped. He was tied up with Nimrod. "I didn't do anything!"
"Save it for the judge," Zach snapped. He turned back to Niko. "Like I said we all got dumped here after nearly getting killed while riding on a giant flower if you believe it."
"We do," Doc groaned. "One nearly ran over us!"
"How do you get run over by a flower?" Zozo asked.
"We nearly were," Maya groaned. Several Royal Guards walked into the room. "Have you noticed something else about our captors?"
"They're all women," Zach looked around.
"I think I just figured out why they kidnapped Goose…" Doc moaned. "If it's anything like my experience that man is in for a rough time."
"What do you mean?" Niko asked.
"Oh that's right you were unconscious at the time," Jessica remembered.
"Trust me you don't want to know," Doc groaned.
"There's something else though…" Niko frowned. "Something familiar about these people…"
The curtain rose on a huge balcony above them. Out stepped Empress Sophipo to a fanfare of trumpets and music. Behind her was Magistrate Lindsey. "Now what are they going to do?" Zach asked.
"Greetings aliens from wherever the hell you are from," Empress Sophipo greeted. "I am Empress Sophipo, supreme ruler of the Po Empire. I'm sorry if I don't know all your names or species. We've been away a while. But we're back now. Oh don't worry this administration isn't really into the 'conquering the universe' thing. That phase went the way of my great grandfather Emperor Napoleonix the Third and the Fourth."
"Third and the Fourth?" Waldo asked.
"Yeah funny story there was a little coup, he died, got cloned…" Sophipo waved her hand. "You know how these things go. Anyway now that we have returned we thought we'd jump right into the swing of things. You know open some commerce, have a few fundraisers oh and most importantly we are going to be opening a new casino and theme park to really bring in the tourists. But the real bargain here is these brand new housing units! Magistrate Lindsey!"
Lindsey pushed a button and a video screen was shown, showing expensive townhouses. "Yes this luxury housing can all be yours for just a minimal fee. You not only get to enjoy the splendor of the Po Empire but also enjoy all these other activities free. Hike in our parks, play rocket tennis on our courts, swim in our nearly mutant jellyfish free lakes…"
"Rocket tennis?" Zozo's eye twitched.
"Nearly mutant jellyfish free lakes?" Doc gulped.
"YOU KIDNAPPED ALL OF US JUST FOR SOME KIND OF TIME SHARE PROMOTION DEAL?" Zach shouted. "AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH RANGER GOOSEMAN?"
"Let me handle this, Captain Foxx," Senator Wheiner puffed up.
"Oh god no!" Another Senator shouted. "Someone else! Anyone else!"
"I will handle this," A tall man with brown hair in his forties stood up. He was wearing green senators' robes and had a strange resemblance to Larry Hagman. "I am Senator Garson, Speaker of the Board of Leaders."
"Speaker of the what?" Bubblehead asked.
"He's second in command after Premier Dutch," Doc explained. "Kind of like the vice president. Only he actually does things."
"Yes uh Ranger Foxx does have a point about kidnapping us," Senator Garson said.
"Well technically you people sort of accidentally invaded us," Empress Sophipo whistled. "And according to our ancient laws any sort of invasion must be dealt with in a very harsh manner."
"By offering time shares?" Doc asked.
"You know a better way to punish grown adults?" Lindsey asked. "Besides if people want to invade us or accidentally invade us anyway we might as well make a buck or two off of it."
"They've got a point," Madonna admitted.
"Oh and I haven't gotten to the best part," Sophipo said. "You are all invited to tomorrow night's coronation! It's a very exclusive and very prestigious ceremony where we crown the future co-ruler of the Po Empire."
"You can just see where this is going can't you folks?" Bubblehead quipped.
"Introducing his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Po Empire, Prince Shane!" Lindsey called out. "All bow to his royalty!"
Just then the curtain rose and there stood Shane, dressed in dazzling prince's robes of silver and black. He wore a silver circlet on his head and looked very much like a prince.
"GOOSEMAN?" Everyone in the room gasped in shock.
Is Shane Gooseman really the lost prince of the Po Empire? If not what's the real reason he's doing this? Find out! Come on you know you want to!
And yeah I couldn't resist doing a Happy Feet parody. He he…
