On a sunny Monday afternoon, the boys were fixing up cake for dinner for the girls, because they're graduating middle school. By the time the girls got there, they saw the surprise dinner the boys made for them. "We learned these from the reruns of Up With Cakes" explained Howie D.
Dorothy had a strawberry shortcake, Jessie had a fudge cake, Ginger had a cherry cheesecake, Nadine had a carrot cake, Faith had a coconut layer cake, A. J had a devil's food cake, B-Rok had a red velvet cake, Nick had a Christmas cake, Kevin had a pineapple upside down cake, and Howie D had a butter pecan cake. "This is just like the Flour Power race track in Sugar Rush for Gameboy" "And remember the Frosty Fairy's catch phrase",
"Now let's Take The Cake" shouted the girls.
"So" said B-Rok as he grabbed the red velvet cake, "How was the tour of high school?"
"It was great" answered Faith, "We got to see."
"As for me" Dorothy replied, "I'm going to go to spend high school in England. Need some time with my UK friends."
"I'm so glad we did those finals" Ginger said with relief, "And for the next week, we get to say our farewells to our middle school friends and go on to high school."
"Tomorrow is not only the graduation of our heroes" Jessie explained, "But my birthday is well, it's not everyday you become fourteen."
By a ficus, Selah could see a few butterfly decors on it, only it was not butterfly decors at all, they were magical butterflies. She tried to catch them, but they ended up touching our heroes instead. The boys were confused on the strange butterflies, "Those are Griffin Butterflies" Selah explained, "They say that if one touches someone, good things happens."
"Really" Kevin replied. "We got a strange package in the mail from England and it only came out as butterflies. We were in such a rush for the meeting of the summer lineup. We didn't have a chance to read it."
"Besides" replied B-Rok, "It had some strange symbols that a griffin wrote it."
"I'll read it for you" Selah said as she took the note, "I am a griffin princess after all"
Dear Backstreet Boys
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my first date with Prince Floral.
And I need you to supervise these lovely butterflies for me.
The Griffin Butterflies are very powerful.
Everything touches turns into something good.
My little sister will tell you guys all about them later.
Don't let all 24 of them out of your sight.
Sincerely, Prince Hardry.
"Three events in one day" asked Nadine, "That's crazy."
"Now that they mention the good things" Kevin replies, "Howie D got the last chocolate milk at lunch today, A. J helped find The Twins' dresses for their summer ballet recitals, Brian got to meet kids from a summer basketball camp, Nick got to perform for an Australian dance troupe, and I got to help the marketing team for the new summer show "Light Dawn Resort"."
"It's Hawaii all over again" groaned A. J.
"How many butterflies were on that ficus, anyway?" Nick asked.
"I caught them" shouted Ginger, "I just love butterfly catching. It appears that there are 12 butterflies."
"That means half of the butterflies are somewhere" guessed Nadine, "We better bring out cakes with us, don't want to see your hard work go to waste."
"Good idea" agreed B-Rok, "These cakes are delicious."
After they placed their cakes in tubawear bins, they set off to find the missing butterflies. They searched everywhere from International Street to Central Orlando, to Church Street. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the butterflies anywhere.
Elsewhere in Orlando, The Kazumas were at the Orlando Science Center learning about robotics, "Hey Mommy" shouted Adriel, "Check out this funny looking wobot here."
Mr. Kazuma lifted Keira up, because they don't know if the strange robot is dangerous. Examining the robot closely, Mrs. Kazuma knew there was something off "Strange" as she in curiosity, "I don't remember the museum having a new display of tiny robots."
Just then, the giant robot turned big, "Mom" asked Adriel, "What's happening?"
Out of the robot, came five ranger-like villains
"Zablenn-Klal" the buff boy in red greeted, "Dagger-man Of Danger"
"Zohn-Dahn" greeted the tall girl in tan, "Swordswoman Of Sinister"
"Zerd" greeted the slim boy in dark red. "Scoundrel Of The Shield"
"Zhana-Rai" greeted the sexy in pink, "Criminal Of The Crossbow"
"Zell-Pen" greeted the short boy in orange, "Horrific Hammerman"
"And together" shouted the five imposter rangers, "We're The Zallegro Rangers!"
"The brochure didn't say anything about a Voltron show!" recalled Mr. Kazuma.
"We're better than Earth's Voltron Force and TV's Power Morphin Super Teens." shouted Zabelenn-Klal, "In fact, we have our own theme song."
"It's the best theme song ever" shouted Zerd.
On the intercom, they played the worst superhero theme song ever.
Zallegro Ranger, Zallegro Rangers
Beating the goody two shoes
And rotting the earth
Causing trouble for what it's worth
In the shades of red, Zator's power will spread.
Zallegro will be fed and the army will lead.
The song was so awful, it drove everyone away.
Meanwhile, our heroes met up in front of Ishinomori Comic Shop and report on what they saw, "Any sign of those little butterflies?" asked Kevin.
"Not yet" answered Ginger "But Howie D and I did find a candy store selling graduation themed chocolate."
"Focus" Kevin said in annoyance.
"If we don't find those butterflies real soon" Nadine explained, "They could find out about The Griffin Dimension."
Below her, Jessie could spot a little robot walking away. On the robot, was a giant Z on it? Figuring it could be a Zallegrean robot; Jessie placed tracer dust on the mini robot. Suddenly, the robot started going faster, which isn't normal for a toy robot. "Guys" she interrupted, "A small robot is going at light speed. A sign that it's alien technology."
"Let's follow it" suggested Faith; "It could lead us to Zallegreans"
Back at the museum, The Zallegro Racers were causing trouble while the entire museum security force was leaving due to a lousy song, "Once Zator destroys this planet" shouted Zhana-Rai, "We'll get all the coins we can swim on."
By the information booth, the same robot Jessie placed the tracer dust on came back, "One of our mechazal has returned." Zohn-Dust said as she picked up the robot, "What information did it bring?"
"A footage of you guys getting busted" answered Jessie from the distance.
"Earth's Cyber Crusaders and Griff Gals" recalled Zablenn-Klal, "We finally get to meet you. Zaria warned us that you zaphenominal heroes would stop us."
"We're going to be the new heroes of Orlando" Zohn-Dahn uttered, "All we got to do is erase everyone's memories in Orlando about us destroying the museum."
"Being a fake ultimate hero?" asked Dorothy, "Definitely like Captain Euphoria and The Frontier Friends."
"Enough chit chat" shouted Zablenn-Klak as he got out his daggers, "Zallegro Rangers, It's Zorphin Time!"
"Looks like Summer School has just started" Faith suggested, "We'll considered this their final. Letting them defeat these phony Power Morphin Super Teens in their own way."
Backstreet's Back Alright.
Griffin Girl and Top Speed charged up to the Red Zallegro Ranger. Zerd and his shield to defend himself, but with a combination of Top Speed's energy ball and Griffin Girl's fire blast, they knocked him out.
Diamondnix and Ninja Man Zohn-Dahn and her sword, "Touché Cutsies" cooed Zohn-Dahn, "And Zenza told me to tell you, "My heart beats for you I'm lost in your eyes, I hope you like our Ranger surprise."
Disgusted by Zohn-Dahn's telegram, Diamondnix froze the floor and made Zohn-Dahn slip and slide.
Merazul and Power Lord took down Zablenn-Klal with all the strength and waterpower they have. Zablenn-Klal tried to take them down with his daggers, but Power Lord tossed a heavy astronaut suit at him.
Zhana-Rai tried to take down Rubyhane and Illusioner with her crossbow, but ended up hitting a hologram of them instead. The real Rubyhane was grabbing the real Illusioner, tossed him and kicked Zhana-Rai.
Centauremerald and Ordnance were taking down Zell-Pen, who refused to hit Centauremerald, "You know I don't really hit girls." he admitted.
Ordnance kicked Zell-Pen's axe out his hands, grabbed it and made him swing towards the other Zallegro Rangers.
One by one, all five Zallegreans took off their helmets. Zablenn-Klal short wavy blue-green hair and blue-green eyes, Zohn-Dahn mid-length curly teal hair and purple eyes, Zerd had long red hair in a ponytail and grey eyes, Zhana-Rai had long curly cream-colored hair and orange eyes, and Zell-Pen had short curly green hair and brown eyes, "You incident humans" shouted Zohn-Dahn "You made us violate Zallegro Ranger code 421/Zordoltar B, A Zallegro Ranger cannot remove it's helmet when on Earth, Humanoids would call local government."
"Why bother" replied B-Rok, "We're already being supervised by a government agent and an alien princess."
"Princess Zanell," Zerd asked as he, Zell-Pen, and Zhana-Rai became love-struck.
"I remember her lovely red hair and the way she uses dance fighting in her training" sighed Zell-Pen, "And how her purple eyes sparkle like the Zimalaya Mountains."
"And I remember her grace and her movement" sighed Zhana-Rai.
"It's a shame that she had to marry a stable-boy instead of a knight" Zerd growled in disappointment.
Annoyed by their romantic attraction towards the princess, Zablenn-Klal and Zohn-Dahn decided to get them back up. Looking at a bunch of Zallegrean headphones, Ordnance got an idea, "Rube" he whispered, and "Do you think you can make others invisible?"
"Of course" Ruby replied, "That's what fairies do sometimes."
Rubyhane sprayed fairy dust on him and Ordnance turned invisible. He snuck towards the information booth, grabbed the space headphones, placed them on their heads and turned on some music. What they heard was so annoying, the took them off and teleported back to The Zallegro Galaxy. "That must've been some reverb you used on him." guessed Centauremerald, as Ordnance turned visible.
"Nope" A. J corrected, "Just their own bad music."
"But still" replied Centauremerald, "We need to find those butterflies."
Above them, Selah could see a bunch of familiar looking butterflies roaming around them. It was the Griffin Butterflies, they were playing around in the museum, "Did you guys go to the museum to see the new butterfly display?"
The Griffin Butterflies nodded their heads. Using his telepathy, Illusioner asked if they could clean up for them. Looking at their idols, The Griffin Butterflies twirled around the lobby and fixed the mess they made. However, they added a special gentle lighting show featuring their song As Long As You Love Me, which warmed our hero's hearts.
The very next day, Jessie and Nella arrived at The Cookie Rookie to see how their parents are doing, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez were were preparing a cake for Jessie's fourteenth birthday. Not wanting to spoil the surprise, they asked Jessie if they could hand out brochure for the Let's All Dance Until We're Sick finale in July. On the cake, was homage to Sugar Rush's Cooling Rack cafe, where all the racers go after they compete and in the middle was a message.
Jessie is Naturally Delicious
Happy Fourteenth Birthday.
"That's Chip Crustulum's catch phrase" Nella recalled.
"We know" Mr. Gomez replied, "Since Jessie has a strong bond with Faith Booth, we figure we could use a message from Faith's favorite character.."
In her backpack, Nella got out a little something she made in her Art Class finals. It was two sand art bottles with glued sticker messages on it. One was a cupcake that says, "Lust for Flour" and another was a regular cake that says, "Cake's at Stake".
"Giving them an original gift with two messages." Mrs. Gomez guessed, "Classic."
"This is just like how the Sugar Rush racers worked together to stop Black Baker and Silent Break from cheating by two cupcarrot cakes shouting the phrases" Nella said, "If I learned anything from the Sugar Rush Junior book: Crazy on The Flying Crumbs, is that cheating never prospers."
Later that night at The Tiki Hut, came the graduation of the first ever class of The Griffin Academy of Superheroes. Amongst the guests were the children for DJ Rise's Soundbooth, the magical friends they met before, Sarai, Elyse, and Langston. Since The Backstreet Boys wore leftover graduation robes from in black, green, blue, white, and red, because they're the only ones graduating.
Onstage, Faith started her speech, "Welcome everyone" announced Faith, "To the graduation of the first year of The Griffin Academy of Superheroes. A year ago, my friends and I found a baby griffin outside my cousin's castle and she bit me on accident. That same day, Princess Selah of The Heskelter Tribe presented us with the magical Heskelter Pins, each one representing a magical creature. During the three-month say, we battled evil villains, monstrous monsters, and a fiendish advisor. We thought our journey stopped when Princess Zanell of The Zallegro Galaxy came to our planet to find The Backstreet boys and make them The Cyber Crusaders. It was there that we should teach them how to be superheroes in return to them teaching us dancing. Ladies, Gentlemen, and Magical Creatures, I give you, Class of 2002."
Brian Litrell, Top Speed
Howard Dorough, Illusioner
Nick Carter, Ninja Man
Alexander McLean, Ordnance,
Kevin Richardson, Power Lord
Just as they tossed their hats like at high school graduations, Selah burnt them, causing everyone to get confused.
"That was suppose to happened" explained Faith, "Now that The Cyber Crusaders are graduated superheroes, we can celebrate their graduation and Jessie's birthday."
"Don't forget the anniversary of the first date between and my Petal Love" interrupted Prince Hardry.
"Apple Eyes" cooed Prince Floral, "Where's the special surprise you promised me."
"I got this" answered Prince Hardry as he nodded to Elina and Kimora, whom opened a cage releasing numerous Griffin Butterflies,
"This is just like our first date at the gardens of The Fieldostrawberr Butterfly Garden." recalled Prince Floral, "The minute we came in, and numerous butterflies surrounded us and formed a heart."
"Exactly" replied Hardry, "I need you to remember the love these creatures share."
Around The Tiki Hut, Faith was taking pictures of everyone having a good time with her new digital camera.
"We're going to keep the pictures of us without the magical creatures right?" asked Dorothy, "Because Uncle Max would flip if he saw actual griffins in those photos."
"We are" answered Faith, "The magical creatures can keep the ones with them in it. Plus I've learned photoshop in computer class."
As a booth, Zanell came up to Sarai and her friends, "I'll be heading back to my planet soon" explained Zanell, "I need someone to take over as executive producer while I face against my father.""
"You know" said Langston, "We've been reading up on books on how to be executive producers."
"That's it" exclaimed Zanell, "Elyse, and Langston will be the new executive producers of Season 2."
"Don't worry Your Highness" replied Elyse, "Lang and I are going to do a great job."
"Guys" shouted Karla, "Three people with a Hippie/Cookie van are coming!"
Hearing what Karla said, Jessie knew that it was The Cookie Rookie catering van, "Listen up" Jessie shouted, "I want all magical creatures to go into the employee lounge and wrap up your party there."
By the time the last griffin reached the employee lounge, The Gomez' appear with a cake for Jessie, "Sorry we're late" said Mrs. Gomez, "Nella wanted to see this new lighting display at the museum, they played a cute version of a Backstreet Boys song."
As they got up to the birthday girl, Jessie blew out her candles and everyone cheered.
The End
