Season 1 Episode 7

Monster Dump

It was a nice, normal day at Norrisville as the students of Norrisville High were taking a field trip to the Norrisville State Park with their science teacher, Mrs. Driscoll, chaperoning them as they rode the school bus to the park. The bus parked in a parking lot as the students such as Flute Girl, Juliette, Stevens, Better Hensletter, Rachelle Cunningham, and Harley Weinerman exited the vehicle. Everyone gazed at the giant volcano miles away from where they stood as Driscoll stood in front of her students with her skeleton manikin, Jerry.

"Ah, the annual freshman field trip to Mount Chuck." Driscoll said before she does her poor ventriloquist act on Jerry. "The world's only man-made volcano."

"Glory awaits, Harley. When we spit in that volcano, we'll be joining Norrisville High's all-time greats." Rachelle said to her best friend while their teacher chattered.

"Or course we won't actually be going up the volcano, that's for hooligans, daredevils, and tomfoolers. Nope, we're heading to the informal and school board-approved Museum of Silt."

All the students groaned in disapproval while Betty was the only one who was in a chipper mood. "Silt, silt, silt!" She chanted.

"Now, before we go in, I wanna say one thing-oh!" Jerry strolled onto Driscoll's back, making her laugh a little as she smiled. "Oh, Jerry. Every year, some numbskull tries to sneak up the volcano to spit in it."

"That's us, Harley, we're that numbskull." Rachelle whispered to Harley as she leaned closer.

"Which is why we're the using the buddy-system. If you stand more than five feet from your buddy, you both get a months detention. For added security, I'm pairing responsible students with a numbskull. Betty, you're with Rachelle." Betty groaned in disappointment. "Flute Girl, you're with Harley." Flute Girl became as disappointed as Betty. "Juliette, you're with Stevens." Juliette remained silent as Stevens took out his trombone and played the sad tone like he usually does.

Harley groaned in frustration that she hasn't paired up with her best friend. "Oh great, what do we do now? Huh? I mean, I was all excited to sneak off and luge in that volcano and scarf down some victory nachos." She said as she held up her platter of nacho cheese.

"If it was easy, it wouldn't be awesome. We just have to find a way to get up there. Rendezvous at Checkpoint Bravo-" Rachelle said, but then got cut off when Jerry poked from behind them.

"No funny business, you two, I got my eye sockets on ya." Driscoll said in her bad Jerry voice, giving her most troublemaking students a suspicious look before they glanced at each other.

Meanwhile, at McFist Industries at the city of Norrisville, the owner of the company, Helvetica McFist, was staring at a tube full of blob-like jellyfish swimming around the liquid inside.

"Veronica, when I told you to design an evil, new creation to catch the Ninja, did I say anything about it being a disgusting, useless blob?!" McFist exclaimed at her scientific assistant.

"Hmm, let me check my notes." Veronica said with her usual sarcastic tone before she snapped her fingers and a round, spherical purple robot hovered up to the women while she pressed the eye of it and showed a projection of McFist's recording.

"I don't care if it's disgusting or useless, I just want a blob!" The recorded message said before it powered off.

"GET RID OF THEM!" McFist shouted as she swatted the robot away and walked away. "All of them!"

Veronica groaned before she pulled out a phone, dialed in a number, and held it by her ear. "Gene Levine, the disposal machine, for when it absolutely, positutely gotsta be disappeared." A man answered over the phone.

"Gene-o, Veronica. I need something disappeared.

"Positutely?"

"Positutely."

Back at the Museum of Silt, Driscoll's class went into the theater room as it began explaining the origin of their first manmade volcano, Mount Chuck. Of course, Harley was already bored as she could when she snoozed beside Flute Girl, annoying her to no end. Mrs. Driscoll watched the movie while she tossed some popcorn into her skeleton manikin's mouth, weirding out a few of her students when they scooted away a few inches from her.

"Mount Chuck, Norrisville's most recognizable landmark. Our city fathers designed her as a tourist mecca...the Krakatoa of the west." A narrator said on TV until it showed the volcano exploding while everyone ran for their lives. "However, after a spirited inaugural eruption, they decided to cap the lava." It then showed the inside of the volcano when its lava was capped in by a steel capsule hatch.

Outside the theater room, Rachelle tried to convince Betty if she would like to come with her to the top of Mount Chuck, but almost to no avail.

"Picture it, Betty. Oceans of virgin silt, just waiting to be discovered." Rachelle said to the band geek somewhat dramatically as she waved her hand above her planarly.

"I'm not breaking the rules, Rachelle." Betty said unsurely.

"But there's silt up there Mrs. Driscoll has never seen before!" Betty began to smile admirably as the purple-haired teen continued. "And circumferences she couldn't imagine." The band geek then moaned when she began to agree, until Rachelle felt a vibration in her backpack when she glanced and saw a red flash coming from the opening: her NinjaNomicon wanted to give her an advice. "Would you excuse me, Betty? I gotta, you know...something."

She ran into an empty photo booth before she pulled out her Nomicon and opened up when her mind entered the book of ninja wisdom. As she plummeted into her magical book, she saw different images until she saw words appear in front of her that read:

A ninja must never endanger the innocent, but she must always defend the defenseless.

"I don't have time for first day ninja stuff, I'm trying to sweet talk Betty up a volcano here!" Rachelle called to her Nomicon until it began to suck her out while she shouted when she woke up back in her body. She immediately ran back to Betty like she hasn't done anything yet. "What do you say, partner? You volca-know you wanna come with me."

"You do make a convincing zing." Betty said in thought.

Back at Veronica's lab, she was writing some notes until she suddenly felt something underneath her that made her perk up with a gasp when she saw an amoeba blob rubbing against her leg.

"My snacks!" Veronica exclaimed. "Looks like Gene positutely missed one." She then smiled when the amoeba speaked before she chuckled at its cuteness, even when it gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Aww…" It hopped on her lap while she continued to smile. "You are kind of cute."

Back at Mount Chuck, Harley decided to annoy Flute Girl by just walking up to the mountain without a care for trouble. She chuckled as she walked higher up the mountain while her partner had to follow her, because of the five-feet rule.

"Stop it, Harley!" Flute Girl complained in annoyance, but Harley kept on chuckling as she continued her way up the mountain. "I mean it! This isn't funny!" She then ran the rest of the way while the band geek followed her. "I'm telling Mrs. Driscoll!"

"Five foot rule, huh?" Rachelle asked Harley as she pointed at her and then at Flute Girl. She was leaning against a 'Checkpoint Bravo' sign with Betty accompanying under her will.

"Yeah, she's gotta go wherever I go." Harley said before she walked away.

"That is not funny!" Flute Girl exclaimed in frustration as she followed the obese girl.

Back in Veronica's lab, she placed the cute blob amoeba (whom she named Nicole) on a pet cushion and tied her head with ribbons like pigtails, but they slid off as she squeaked. Until then, Gene returned with a clipboard in his hand.

"Veronica, I disappeared all them amoebas and such. We gonna go cash or charge on this one here?" He called out until he noticed Nicole in front of him. "Whoa! How'd I miss you, little fella?" He pulled out a container-like device while Nicole squeaked frightenedly.

"Nicole?" Veronica said as she entered her lab, but noticed that her new amoeba friend was missing. "Nicole!" She ran out out the building, but too late when Gene drove his truck away from McFist Industries with Nicole inside. She then hopped onto her motor scooter, clipped on her helmet and revived her vehicle. "Nicole, I'm coming, sweet thing!" And she drove down towards Mount Chuck.

Back at the top of Mount Chuck, Betty whipped some dust on her finger tip before she tasted it, but she made a skeptical look. "Hey, this is the same as the silt at the bottom!" She exclaimed with a frown.

"Our most finest hour is upon us." Rachelle said to Harley as they gazed down at the volcano opening.

"This is your greatest idea ever." Harley said.

"You guys are idiots." Flute Girl retorted, making the duo briefly glare at her in annoyance.

Rachelle then pulled out her phone and aimed it at herself and her best friend. "Ready...set...hork!" She said before they both spat their salivas into the volcano with a photo.

"Epic." Harley said after they side-hugged each other.

Rachelle then glanced at her friend and noticed some cheese on the side of her mouth, making her stare skeptically at Harley. "Hey, where are the victory nachos?" Harley's eyes went wide before she licked the cheese off her face and smiled innocently at Rachelle, who frowned at her.

Elsewhere on Mount Chuck, Gene drove his truck around a curve with Veronica at his tail. He then parked his vehicle before he walked out and grabbed Nicole out of the back with his container device-like hook.

"Alright there, little guy, let's get you good and disappeared, huh?" He said as she walked towards the edge of the volcano. Before he could dump the amoeba into the volcano, he noticed Veronica when she parked her scooter and stormed up to him with a growl.

"Give it back!" She snapped as she snatched the device away from Gene.

"Hey, what gives?"

"You are not disappearing my Nicole." She then rubbed her head against her amoeba friend.

Gene then pulled out a contract in front of her. "I got a signed contract here for the removal of all slimy things."

"I don't care about your contract." Veronica took the contract, crumpled it up into a ball, and tossed it into the volcano, making him glare at the scientist assistant offendedly.

"That was a legally binding document there, Veronica." And then Nicole suddenly jumped into the volcano, possibly to chase after the paper.

Veronica screamed in worry. "Nicole!" She peeked over the ledge as she scanned around for her amoeba friend. "Don't panic, Mommy's coming for you, baby!" She immediately turned to Gene with a demanding look on her face. "Help me find a way down there."

"Oh, no. Then all them other amoebas I disappeared is alive and gooey down there." Gene then made a look of fear. "They're probably plotting revenge on Gene Levine right now!"

Veronica placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "They're completely harmless. It would take a very specific blend of rare, toxic chemicals to destabilize them. Why you'd need notodextrium…"

"Sodium phosphate, and xanthan gum?" Harley said as she read off her nacho basket (with just one nacho with a cheese left) while Rachelle had her arms crossed and looked away from her, clearly angry that her best friend horked all of their nachos. "You tell me, how am I supposed to resist that?"

"Those 'chos were for both of us!" Rachelle snapped when she turned around and glared at Harley.

Harley held the nacho basket close to her selfishly. "I carried them all the way up here, you should share with me."

"But you ate all of them!" Before Harley could eat the last nacho, the two best friends began to strain and tug for the basket until it ripped and the basket fell into the volcano.

Harley then glared at Rachelle like this was all her fault. "Oh, way to go, Cunningham!"

The basket fell into the bottom of the volcano, on top of the very capsule that was encasing the lava inside. The amoebas that Gene threw into the mountain slithered up to the nacho cheese with the rare chemical inside when one of them swallowed it up and they began to merge together into a giant orange amoeba.

"You betrayed me with wordplay, Rachelle." Betty said with hurt in her eyes.

"Come on, Betty, let's go." Flute Girl said before she urged Betty to walk with her down the mountain.

"Betty, I'm sorry!" Rachelle said after her, until she noticed that Harley was walking away as well. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm sorry, Cunningham, five foot rule." She said before she continued down the mountain.

Rachelle looked down and sighed, until she suddenly heard something from the volcano. "Huh?" She peeked over the edge and saw a giant amoeba monster stick its tentacles out of the opening, making the purple-haired teen jump back in surprise. "That's probably bad." She screamed a little when she ran away to avoid the incoming tentacle that tried to smash her.

The top of the volcano began to glow orange when boulders rained from the top, catching Harley, Flute Girl, and Betty's attentions. They screamed in surprise before they ran quickly down the mountain to avoid the giant boulders.

"The volcano is erupting!" Flute Girl exclaimed before a tentacle suddenly snatched onto Betty and dragged her into another cave entrance in the volcano as she wailed. "What happened to betty? What was that?!"

Harley ran up to Flute Girl and tried to drag her away from the cave. "All great questions, why don't we discuss it, oh, I don't know...BACK AT THE BUS!" She snapped until they, too, were snatched by the tentacles.

"Hurry it up there, Veronica." Gene said back at the top of the volcano.

"Just lower me down, I can see her!" Veronica exclaimed as she attached her belt to a rope, which was tied to the front of Gene's truck. However, the second the scientist slipped over the edge with the rope, it was suddenly snapped in half as she shouted.

Gene's eyes went wide. "Whoops and such! I'm out of here." He revved his engine and drove away from Mount Chuck.

As Veronica plummeted to her doom, she thought quickly when she pulled on her cord and her coat inflated like a balloon. She bounced around the stalagmites and wall before she landed safely at the bottom of the volcano, where she found Nicole, safe and unharmed. She unzipped herself out of her inflatable coat as it flew away like an actual balloon.

She then noticed strange amoeba tentacles slithering towards them as she stood in front of her amoeba friend protectively. "Don't you worry, Mommy's here!" She said before she pulled out a spray gun. "Bad amoeba, bad!" She sprayed a stream of fire, making the tentacles recoil as the unstable amoeba squealed. It's plasma briefly rusted out until the tips broke into pieces. "Come here, baby, you're okay." Nicole suddenly sucked up the little flame-spewing spray bottle, making Veronica stand to her feet. "Naughty Nicole, that was Mommy's flamethrower." A tentacle suddenly grabbed onto the scientist and threw her onto the rocky wall as she stuck onto it.

Back outside the volcano, Rachelle slid her way down the mountain side while she screamed until she made it to the cave entrance. "Stop, stop!" She shouted as she regained her balance over the edge before she sighed in relief.

"It put its tentacle in my mouth!" Harley shouted from the volcano, catching Rachelle's attention when she turned to the cave.

"Harley?"

The giant, unstable amoeba monster growled as it lifted Harley, Better, and Flute Girl into the air. It was about to swallow up Harley as she yelled until Rachelle quickly changed into her Ninja Suit and jumped into the volcano and witnessed the whole thing.

"Time to un-endanger the innocent!" Rachelle said dramatically before the amoeba roared at her face. She draw out her sword before it reached out its tentacles to grab her. "Ninja slice!" She sliced off its four tentacles as fell off before she sheathed her sword behind her back. "Totally worked."

However, it immediately regenerated its tentacles as it roared. "Ninja, it's not working!" Flute Girl exclaimed.

"Yeah, thanks, I caught that." She backed away with her sword out before she sliced off a tip of a tentacle. It then grabbed onto four huge stalagmites and pulled them out of there spots when it hurtled them at the Ninja. She sucked and jumped over one with a shout, flipped and pinned her back on the rocky wall from another chuck and then stood there with her hands on her hips. "Ah-ha, not even close!" However, she got buried underneath a pile of rock debris.

The amoeba then growled at the three freshmen teens as they stared at is slimy saliva in paralyzed fear, until they heard a squeak. The unstable amoeba turned around and found Nicole standing on a pillar with Veronica's flamethrower still inside her. The amoeba monster grabbed Nicole just as Rachelle pulled a rock off of her and noticed the whole thing. The unstable amoeba squeezed the tiny blob until it accidentally made the flamethrower spew fire at its center, causing its midsection to rust up and crumble until it regenerated itself.

Rachelle's eyes went wide when she realized that the amoeba's weakness was fire, which causes it to crumble and rust up. "Fire!" She said to herself before she chuckled as she pulled herself out of the debris and glanced down at the capsule. "That's it! It's like they say, sometimes you've got to fight ectoplasm with lava!" She then unwrapped her scarf off her neck as she sprinted into action.

"No one's ever say that!" Betty pointed out.

Rachelle sprinted on the side of the walls as she whipped her scarf onto the capsules hatch handle with a grunt. She began to sprint around in a circle in a fast pace. "Come on!" The capsule finally opened and lava spewed out. "Boom, lava!"

"Um, that's your plan? Douse us with molten hot lava?" Flute Girl retorted as the amoeba monster began to climb its way up the volcano.

"Got to admit, Ninja, not one of your best." Harley exclaimed, equally as unsurely.

"That was just phase one!" Ninja said as she jumped onto the wall edge in front of the amoeba with her sword out.

"Then what's phase two?" Betty asked.

The monster reached out for the Ninja, but she sliced off its tentacle with a laugh. "That!" The tentacle fell into the lava as they witnessed the arm rusting out and crumble.

The amoeba then slammed its tentacles down while Rachelle shouted indistantly as she diced its arms into tiny pieces. The monster then hurtled Harley, Betty, and Flute Girl into the air as they shouted while Rachelle caught Betty and Flute Girl by their ankles with her scarf wrapped around them so she could also catch Harley

They continued to scream while Rachelle rolled her eyes with an annoyed moan and stared at them dubiously. "Hey, you're safe." She said simply, making them all cease their screams before they smiles in relief.

"Hurray!" Betty cheered.

"Thanks, Ninja." Flute Girl said as they walked towards the cave exit.

"Catch you on the flip-flop." Harley said before they left.

Rachelle then ran back into the volcano where she saw the amoeba monster desperately climbing up the edge wall to avoid contact with the lava. "Who would hide an amoeba monster in a man-made volcano?" She asked herself until her answer came when Veronica collapsed behind her with a yelp, covered in ectoplasm. Ninja grabbed her archenemy's assistant by her collar and held her up. "Veronica, I should've known!"

"Ninja, please, you have to save Nicole!" She exclaimed as she glanced to the tiny amoeba standing on a pillar as the lava began to reach up to her. "She's defenseless!"

"Nicole? What's a Nicole? Oh, Nicole! Meet me at the top."

"Okay."

Nicole speaked as Rachelle flipped in over the rock pillars to reach her. "Ninja amoeba snatch!" She grabbed the tiny blob away from the lava as she made her way to the top. The mountain began to rumble while Ninja safely landed at the top with Veronica on the other side. "You're all kinds of shnasty."

"My Nicole!" Rachelle turned her attention to the scientist, who smiled in relief. "Oh, Ninja, how can I ever thank you?"

"Uh, you could take a vacation from helping my archenemy plot to kill me!"

"...I do have a timeshare in Provence. Done!" Ninja then hurled Nicole over the volcano to Veronica. "Come on, come on, come on!" Veronica held out her hands, until her amoeba friend ended up colliding with her face as she flew off the edge of the volcano and fell towards the ground level.

The entire volcano trembled while Rachelle briefly lost her balance. "Whoa…" The unstable amoeba monster stuck out from the top and growled, but the lava finally caught up with it when it rusted up into a harmless statute as Ninja quickly flipped away from the lava. "Ninja I'm getting out of here!"

The lava began to rust and cool down as Harley, Flute Girl, and Betty ran out of the cave as boulders rained down again. Betty jumped onto Flute Girl's arms before a boulder crushed her while Ninja landed on top of it.

"Ninja!" Betty exclaimed.

"Ninja, did you plan that?" Flute Girl asked with a grateful smile.

"Uh...yes. I-I mean..." Rachelle said unsurely, until she cleared her throat and got into a dramatic heroic pose. "I mean, yes!"

Flute Girl dropped Betty as she laced her hands together. "I seriously appreciate this, Ninja."

"Yeah!" Harley said as she shoved the flute-playing band geek away. "We were pretty shoobed for a minute there."

"Wait! Rachelle's missing! Oh, this is awful!" Betty exclaimed in worry.

"Aw, that means so much to...that girl I've never heard of." Ninja said somewhat nervously before she helped the band geek up. "Don't you worry, I'll bring your friend back safe and sound."

"Good, 'cause I'll get a month's detention if I show up without her. I can't handle that kind of time."

Rachelle groaned in annoyance before she leaned close to Harley and spoke to her quietly. "Get them to the bus."

Meanwhile, Mrs. Driscoll's class returned to the school bus, minus Rachelle. "Okay, let's see who earned themselves a nice, fat detention." She said as she began to check her clipboard. "Stevens, check. Juliette, check." Rachelle landed on top of the bus while Betty whimpered nervously at the back of the bus. "Weinerman, check. Flute Girl, check. Hensletter, check. Cunningham…"

"Betty and I are both here, Mrs. Driscoll." Rachelle said, back in her normal clothes.

Betty glanced at her in surprise. "We are?" She wondered before she smiled in relief. "We are!"

"Everyone's here! No detentions." Driscoll said before she began her poor ventriloquist act on her skeleton manikin. "Ice cream for everyone!" She then leaned her head against the skull. "You always did have a sweet tooth." The teacher giggled until a tooth fell off, making her gasp.

Rachelle and Harley fist-bumped each other. "Mission accomplished, buddy." Rachelle said.

"And we got the picture to prove it." Harley said as she pulled out her best friend's phone and opened the picture of them spitting into the volcano.

"Epic."

Meanwhile, Veronica took Nicole to Provence as she promised Ninja she would as a day off from helping Helvetica McFist from creating robots to destroy her.

"Mmm, Provence." Veronica sighed as she rode her motor scooter down a dirt road with Nicole at the front. The blob then accidentally spit some ectoplasm into the scientist's mouth as she gagged a little and spat. "Ew...you're cute, but you don't taste so good."
