Dan 10 Reboot S2 Ep 5: Screamcatcher
Intro:
A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashes, making a huge green flash.
The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Dan looks up close at it.
He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.
The background turns all green as Dan morphed into Ultimate Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his middle ones and slamming his lower pair against each other with fire burst coming off them a smirk.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
"Dan 10!"
2: Ultimate Heatblast ignites a fire ball in 1 hand while is other morphs into a magma cannon with lava drooling out of it..
"Dan 10."
3: Ultimate XLR8 zooms into the right and speeds off in a blink, leaving behind green lightning.
4: Ultimate Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a laser blade while 3 floating crystals hovers near him.
"DAN 10!"
5: Ultimate Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.
"Dan 10!"
"Dan 10."
6: A shadow figure shows with a question mark on it
7: Ultimate Grey Matter hovers up and forms his combat body, giving 2 thumbs up as his middle eye glows.
"DAN 10!"
8: Ultimate Water Hazard lands by his jetpack and pinches his claws.
"Dan 10."
9: Ultimate Wildvine chucks out his seed bombs as fly traps extend out of his back and snaps at the camera.
10: Ultimate Big Chill phases through the number, freezing it in a instant and zooms near the camera.
"DAN 10!"
U. Big Chill's head turns back into Dan's as it rotates.
The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Kate by his side.
Dan gave a a fistbump to both of them.
The 2 then ran off-screen, making Dan run towards the camera with a look determination.
He then froze as the series logo appeared above along with his alien, 5 on each side.
In a hidden location, Hex is meditating as he sat on a mountain top, surrounded by mystic rocks. As a ring of red magic glows around him, a vision of a part of a remote town on Earth appears before the Master Magician, making his glowing eyes widened. "Finally…. After all these years."
It was lunch time for the Tennysons. Except Grandpa kept passing burger place after burger place with a smile for some reason. "Grandpa! We passed the 3rd Burger place! What's the deal?!" "Yeah! This hero need some food in his belly, stat!" Dan whines as well as Max responds. "Don't worry, kids! It will be worth it. And here we are!" The RV stops in front of a fancy restaurant. "Wow! You're taking us to a fancy restaurant, Grandpa?!" Kate exclaims in all, only for Max to chuckle. "No! It's down here, actually."
Max walks down an Alleyway with the kids following behind, although they were both creeped out by the place. They both peek out of a corner as they whisper. "No way we're eating in this creepy alley!" "It's either this or eat what's growing in your side of the RV, bro!" "HEY!" They both catches up to Max, who is standing by a door. "Are you sure we're in the right place, Grandpa? I saw a pretty big rat back there." "And is it me or did it had a tattoo!?" Max merely knocks on the door, making a viewport slides opens. "Password?" "Avocado." The door opens as they all went inside, only for the kids to be surprised by a burger restaurant. "Hey! It's a burger joint!" They both smelled the place, being drawn by the food's smell. "Yeah! And it smells really awesome!" Dan exclaims as they went to the counter. "Welcome to 'Bistro Incognito', kids! This place is so exclusive, I had to make reservations 4 months ago. 3 menus, please."
"We don't do menus." The kids groans as the employees are the 2 guys from the forest." "Ugg…. These guys?!" "The menus are edged into the Countertops." Kate glances down, only to deadpan. "There heliographs, genius." "There's also Kid menus with pictures." "Oh, that will work." Max said as all 3 gazes at the choices. Dan kept mumblings as he scrolls down. "Let's see… Nope. Nope. Too veggie, blaugh! No squid for me, thanks! Hmm… I like Meat, but that's way too much for me. OMG! They have a deep-fired chocolate Cheeseburger rolled in rock candy!" He exclaims in awe. "Will that be with or without sprinkles?" "With sprinkles." Dan squeals out in awe.
After a bit, there food was served. "Okay! I have a Squid and Squash Burger. A double veggie patty with the works and swiss cheese. And lastly, a deep-fired chocolate Cheeseburger rolled in rock candy with added sprinkles. And fries for the sides and 3 medium drinks: Cola for the senior and Root Beer and Sprite for the kids." "It's… so beautiful. " Dan gasps out with tears at his burger, fires and drink.
"Do not attempt to eat this burger without the proper utensils." The big guy said as he hands Dan a mini hammer and chisel, much to his confusion. "If you need anything else, I'm busy!" Kate and Max dives into their meals, enjoying the food and drink. Dan glances at the tool and merely drops them on the counter. The boy licks his lips as he holds his burger up and brought it to his mouth and chomps down it. But, something was wrong as his eyes shrunk to pinpricks as he drops his burger on his plate, frozen as he felt something that was coursing through his head: unbearable pain!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screams so loudly, that not only everyone in the joint froze and jumped up briefly as they all turn towards him, his scream flew across the country to a special high school as all the students stopped in surprise. It even reached the statue of it as in a magic portal as the scream echoed across another dimension plan as the inhabits were stunned as it's ruler was surprise. "Was that... a child screaming?" Back at Dan, he was holding his mouth as he sat on the floor, whimpering as a tear escapes his eye. "What was that?!" Dan points at his mouth, making Kate whips out her phone.
"All right. Let's see the damage." Dan opens his mouth, only for Kate to recoil in horror at his teeth! "Holy jeeze! That has got to be an A-class cavity!" "Cavity!?" Dan mumbles out as Max comforts him. "Well, you have been hitting the sweets a lot, Dan. Guess it finally caught up." "No way!" Kate crosses her arms in deadpan as she snarks. "Oh, really?! What about the time with Four Arms, who made an ice cream truck sold out?!"
(Flashback)
Four Arms licks several cones of Ice Cream in his quad hands as some kids cried about being sold out. "Or the time with Diamondhead, who made crystal ramps so he can get all the candy from the machines?" Diamondhead lays underneath several candy machines as he made a crystal construct and diverts them all to his mouth. "Or the time with Grey Matter, who wanted a really big piece of cake?" Dan grins at his slice of chocolate cake in the Rust Bucket, transforming into said alien as he holds his fork with a big grin.
(Flashback)
Dan ignores them as he got back up. "I'm… sure it's… not that bad." But was proven wrong as he tries some fries, only to hold his cheek in pain. "As much I like to hear your screams of anguish, it's making the customers very unhappy. May I suggest the dentist next door to fix your teeth?"
The Tennysons were outside a door next to the burger joint. "This is weird." "Hmm! The reviews of this place is actually really good! Listen to this: 'I thought I would never eat candy again. But this doctor fixed my teeth like magic!'" Kate reads off her phone. Dan groans and knocks on the door, opening it up as the dentist himself was behind it. "Whoa! Was about to close up shop! What can I do for you?" "Fix… Tooth… Please!" Dan moans in pain.
"Sure! Let me see the damage." Dan opens his mouth, making the Dentist briefly gag, only to chuckle. "Just kidding! I've seen worst. Now come in and I'll get ya strapped to the old torture device! Still kidding!" The man walks in as Dan mumbles. "Really weird." The boy steps in, only to be surprised by all the artifacts and magical-looking things. "Really, really weird. Ow!" He rushes in as both Kate and Max enters. "Huh. Guess he's an adventurer as well." Kate comments at the photos on the walls, showing the man all over the world.
At the back, Dan sat on the chair as the man got some tools ready. "Okay. Open wide for Mr. pointy." Dan whimpers at the pointy tooth drill as the man noticed. "Not a fan, huh? Well, just look at that crystal and it will calm you down." As the boy gazes at the pink crystal, it starts generating pink energy as Dan got a wide eye look to it, feeling hypnotized. In his mind, he was on a mountain top, atop of Cy-Dragon. "Cy-dragon! Am I glad to see you!" The Dragon smiles and roars out, taking flight as the kid holler in joy.
Back in the real world, the man was about to start drilling when Hex appeared in red smoke. "Uh… do you have an appointment?" "Only with destiny. The crystal is no trinket." Hex spoke as he spoke, unknowly breaking Dan's control as he exclaims in shock. "What the… HEX!?" He quickly dodged an energy blast and slides to a stop.
"Whatever Hex is up to, guess it's time to stop him!" He quickly clicks the button, switching to Diamondhead's icon. FLASH "Yes! Got what I wanted! Okay, Hex! Time for the usually butt-kicking!" "Not this time." Hex was about to reach for the crystal, only for the alien to knock him back with some shards. "You fool!" Hex tries to punch him, but sprained his hand on the hero's right forearm, leaving him open for a left cross that sent him knocking off the crystal.
"Owwww!" Diamondhead cries out as he holds his right cheek. "What?! Even aliens get toothaches!? I thought Diamondhead's teeth were made out of Diamonds or something!?" Hex recovers as holds the crystal. "Behold! The true power of the crystal!" He then chanted a spell, making the object glows as it sent out pink waves of magic. Diamondhead quickly knocks it upward as it sticks to the ceiling and then grabs Hex, only for him to chuckle. "Too late!" They were both teleported in a beam of light as the crystal morphs into a wormhole that is glowing pink. "Uhhh?" Can you 2 come in here for a sec?" The Dentist spoke to Kate and Max. "Is my brother's cavity getting worse?" "More like an interdimensional portal." "Say what?"
Diamondhead groans as he slowly wakes and gets up, only to see a dark cave with purple crystals. "What is this place?' "Welcome to my Nightmare Realm, Tennyson!" He whirls back at Hex, standing in front of the giant portal. "Here: I can bring your fears to life! Observe!" He then starts chanting a spell at the portal. But the alien slams his hand on the ground, sending a trial of crystals that knocks Hex away.
"My turn!" He sends out a fissure as Diamondhead tries to counter, but his powers didn't work for some reason! "What the—" He fell through the large crack, quickly morphing his hands into spikes as he stabs onto the wall, sliding to a stop. "Here, I rule this realm! I will expand the portal of Nightmare until it engulfs the world! All will live in fear of me! Pity you won't be around to see it!" Hex sneers as suddenly, a Monstrous Snake head pops in front of Diamondhead! "But scream!" It roars loudly with flames in it's mouth, scaring Diamondhead off as he times out.
"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! OFFF!" Dan grunts as he lands on the ground. "Ohhh… OW!" Dan cries out as he holds his cheek in annoyance. "Really?! Even Toothaches happen in Nightmare world?!" But as Dan stood up, a large, many-headed, long necked shadow appears over him, making him glance back, only to widened in terror at a grinning, shaped fang, black and red skinned, 6-headed hydra monster with glowing red eyes glaring at him. "Eep."
Dan scream his head off as he kept running from the snake monster, who kept chasing and chomping at him. "I REALLY NEED XLR8 RIGHT NOW! OR BIG CHILL! WHICHEVER IS GOOD!" He quickly runs into a door and slams it shut, taking a minute to calm down. "Whew…. Man, I don't know what could be scarier than that?"
But as he glances up, he gasped in shock and horror at a chalkboard with lots of numbers on it. "Oh no! Not Algebra! My most hated subject in the world! Anything but that!" "Who would like to come up to the board?" Dan shrunk his eyes to pinpricks as he glances at an elderly woman with a hair bun, glasses and a ruler. "Mrs. Roline?! My 2nd grade teacher!?" "How about you, Mr. Tennyson!?" The woman whirls around and glares.
Dan freaks out as he kept pushing the button on the Ultimatrix, even slapping on the dial as well! "Come on! Recharge! Recharge! Recharge! Recharge! Recharge! Recharge! Recharge! Recharge!" Dan slapped down on it, only for the Gauntlet to break into scarp and falls off. Dan couldn't believe it! it's not possible! But as the boy knees down and touches the device, with sparks coming off as he gently picks it up, he realized the Ultimatrix has been destroyed! Dan lowers in sadness at not only losing his powers and aliens for good, but now, he's no longer Dan 10.
"Oh dear." He looks up as the teacher morphs into Hex. "I guess they don't make Alien devices like they used to, do they!?" Dan picks up the remains and runs out a window, heading into a maze of the crazy dream realm.
As Dan turns a corner, he screeches to a stop as the Hydra appears before him. "Ahhh!" He glances back to see another fear: Ghosts rounding another corner! "How am I supposed to fight without the Ultimatrix?! I can't take these things!" Dan runs as fast as he could down another way, going through another door, only to end up in a room with staircases all over the place! Like some sort of crazy painting.
He rushes towards another door, only for it to lead him to a fall, if not by grabbing the knob on the last sec! The boy tries to pull up, but couldn't, making him sighs out in despair. "It's hopeless. Without my aliens, I'm nothing now. I can't do anything good without the Ultimatrix."
"We wouldn't be so sure, Young Dan!" Dan lifts his head in shock, glancing back to see Cy-Dragon! Riding him is Batman and Ryu! "Batman! Ryu! Cy-Dragon!" The beast roars gently as it helps him abroad. "Hex has been using your fears to make you lose sight." The Street Fighter smirks as Batman nods. "Yes. He knows he can't beat you alone. That's why he brought you here to your worst fears: So he can make you fall for his tricks and illusions. To make you lost track of yourself." "But where there's bad dreams, there's always good ones!"
Hex is chanting at the portal, ready to expend it over the world and trap everyone in it. "HEY! HEX!" "Uhh?" He glances back as Dan and his Dream people came charging in. "Meet my good dreams!" Cy-Dragon breathes fire, making the magician raised a shield, only for a right hook from the fighter to knock him away! Batman threw some Batarangs, only for Hex to disintegrate them
Cy-Dragon launches missiles as Hex sends out a wave to counter them. Ryu launches a Hadoken that blasts magician on his back. He stands up, only for the Dark Knight to kick him in the back with his grapple hook! "ENOUGH!" Hex screams out as he made a shockwave that blows all 4 away!
As Dan recovers, he gasp at seeing his 3 dream people laying down, struggling to get up! Dan was about to give up, only for Batman's words to ring in his head! 'Yes. He knows he can't beat you alone. That's why he brought you here to your worst fears: So he can make you fall for his trick and illusions.'
Dan narrows his eyes in determination as he stands up. Hex chuckles as he walks through the smoke. "Pity you couldn't stop me, Tennyson. But without your Gauntlet, your nothing! Without your powers, you're worthless and weak!" "WRONG! Hex, you've been trying to make me lose sight of who I am! But even with all my fears brought to life, one thing always remains the same: I don't give up on being on the hero! Never have and never will! You might seem powerful. But deep down, you're still the same magician jerk that has steals other magic, just to be strong! So, I'm not afraid of you or your little tricks, anymore!"
Just then, the place starts becoming green, much to Hex's shock! "WHAT!? What's happening?!" "Sorry Hex! This place likes my good dreams better than your lousy nightmares!" Dan smirks as his dream pals all recovered and stands behind him. "He's right, Hex! Dan's in control, now!" "Impossible! Go back to being afraid, child!" Hex roars out, only to be stunned by Dan merely thrusting his arm at the side as the Ultimatrix glowed green and flies out of his pocket, repairing itself as it reattaches to the child. "Oh, I'm afraid! Of you being late!" He grins out as the Hourglass displayed Cannonbolt. "For a beatdown with Cannonbolt!" FLASH
Dan transforms into Cannonbolt in a second, but it didn't stop there as the same energies surged again and the green evolution wave washed over him! Cannonbolt's skin is now hard light metallic blue as his obese waist is now slimed up a bit. He has metallic segmented skin on his biceps and torso. His black chest line is gone as his feet now has black with longer iron claws. His forearm shells is now spiked as 2 large grayish spikes replaced his shoulder shells. His back shell now extends over his forehead and goes between his eyes. His claws are now bigger and sharper as his thigh shells moved to his knees. He lastly has a trail of spikes going down the middle on his back and the Ultimatrix's spiked dial on his chest.
"Or should I say, Ultimate Cannonbolt!" He grins out and then curls up into his ball, only it was now grey and has a row of spikes with 2 big ones on the side. He charges at Hex as he quickly made a bunch of stone walls appeared to block him. But Ultimate Cannonbolt was a lot stronger than his normal form as evidenced by him tearing and ripping through the rock walls like a Morningstar! Hex tires to blast him, but the beams reflects off him as the spiked ball charges while making holes in the ground. Hex tried a shield, only for to tear and shred through it, sending Hex flying away as he fades away.
"Great! He got away!" "Dan!" Ultimate Cannonbolt turns back to see the portal is shrinking! "Get out, kid! The portal's closing!" "Right! Got to roll!" He rolls away as Batman spoke softly. "See you in your dreams, Daniel." The Ultimate alien launches up a rock ramp and heads straight through the vortex. "INCOMING!" He cries out as the humans on the other side got out of the way as U. Cannonbolt lands on his feet with a thud. The vortex closed up as the Ultimate alien grins out. "Hey! Missed me?"
"Dan!" Kate rushed up, but stopped before hugging him on account of his spikes. "Glad to see you okay, kiddo!" "Yeah! And woah! Looks like Cannonbolt's Ultimate form is way spiker and more metallic, from the looks of things!" "I know right? OW!" He cries out as his tooth flares up, yet again! "Doc? Tooth?"
Later, Dan got out of the room, feeling more relieved. "Wow… that is much better!" "Now, be sure to brush twice a day and come back in 6 months for a checkup." "You know, Dan. You conquered a lot of fears today. Plus, you even discovered a new ultimate form as well. I'm pretty proud of you, little brother." Kate smirks out as Dan groans in annoyance. "Yeah! Except for snakes! Really hate snakes."
