Dan 10 Ultimate Summer EP 34: Cutting Corners
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 Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his lower ones with a smirk.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
"Dan 10!"
2: Heatblast ignites 2 fire balls in his hands.
"Dan 10."
3: XLR8 zooms into the right.
4: Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a blade.
"DAN 10!"
5: Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.
"Dan 10!"
"Dan 10."
6: Upgrade stretches out of his puddle form.
7: Grey Matter hops off the 7 and lands into a crouch, giving a thumbs up and a smile.
"DAN 10!"
8: Water Hazard slides in on his water blasts and raises his fists up.
"Dan 10."
9: Wildvine extends his legs and stretch out his right fingers while holding seeds in his left one, chucking them offscreen.
10: Big Chill phases through the number and floats briefly before zooming near the camera.
"DAN 10!"
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 low-five as his Grandfather as Kate crosses her arm and shakes her head playfully with a smile.
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.
At a beautiful park, Dan was begging his sister as they exit the Rust Bucket. "Come on, sis. Please?!" "I said no!" "I just need 25 bucks!" "Look, I would love to help you get…. What is it again?" "The new Overwatch Game! I head it's the best online multiplayer game around and it's about heroes! How cool is that?!" Kate sighs out, unaware of her brother daydreaming.
"Sorry, Dan. But… Dan? Dan. Dan! DAN!" She punches his shoulder and continues as the boy snaps out of it and rubs her shoulder in discomfort. "I'm saving up for a new laptop. And we blew most of our winnings from the tournament already!" Max chuckles as he exits with a picnic basket. "Ah... I love a good picnic! I think we picked a good spot!" Dan smiles as walks up. "Me too, Grandpa! So, uhh… Can we talk about a loan of 25 dollars?" "Oh, for all the hard work you do on your half of the Rust Bucket?" Max motions to a dirty part of the RV. "Sorry, Dan. No work, no money." Max walks off with his sister as Dan got sad. "I'm never going to get the game. And all I got is 35 bucks in my name." Dan groans out as he feel like he's never going to get in on the cool action that's been all over the web.
"Hey." He turn around to see an old groundskeeper talking to him. "I can't help but overhear your dilemma. You need some pocket money, youngster? Just so happen I need some help around the grounds today." Dan smiles at the opportunity for some quick cash.
They both walks to an old shed with a sign that says: 'Geezer Bob's Grounds keeper'. "So… people really call you Geezer Bob?" "YEP! Ever since high school! But now I'm getting long in the tooth for the grass cutting around here. I'll pay you an honest wage for an honest day's work." Dan grins as he asked. "Would 25 bucks be an honest wage?" "Fair enough." Dan fist pumps in joy. "YES! Then I'm glade to help!"
Bob open the door to revealed a junky mower. "This here is Frank." Dan was confuses at the piece of junk and comments. "That thing runs? Wouldn't scissors be faster?" "Needs a little TLC, but it will totally do the trick!" As Bob continues, Dan realizes that it's going to take all day to mow with this broke mower. As he glances at the watch, he gets an idea. He realizes that he could just use Upgrade to enhance the mower to not only fix it, but also get the job done faster, get payed and start playing the new game all before Lunch.
"OKAY, BOB! I'll get right on it! One cut lawn, coming up!" He closes the door as Bob questions. "Wait. I just want to know that if you herd me about that thing! You did hear me about the goblin thing, right? Goblins in the park. They're real mean! And if you run into their territory, the damage is done in your hands!"
Inside the shack, Dan ignore the old man as he smirks at the lawn mower. "I'm going to get this done so fast, I'll spend the entire picnic, getting in on the Overwatch action!" The boy grins out as he dials the glove towards Upgrade and slaps down on the device. FLASH
Upgrade's goop flew from the watch and spins around the boy, engulfing him as his right hand morphed into the tech alien's while the left does the same. His neck stretched out as his eye ring shines, posing as the transformation is complete.
"Time to get turbo-charged!" He merges with the mower, repairing it and upgrading it with rocket boosters and sharper blades. He zooms out of the shed and start mowing the grass. "HAHAHAHA! WHOOO-OOOH! This is easier then I thought!" He keeps cutting the grass, driving and power sliding like in a video game and gets the job done at a blazing speed. "Well, that boy managed to get things right. As long as he stays out of that certain forest." Bob comments as he watches. The alien was about to drive past him, making him call out. "HEY, KID! All you have left is the grass by the picnic area and you'll be done!" "THANKS! Sweet! I'm almost done!" Upgrade steps on the gas, zooming away.
Kate and Max were setting up a table. "Well, it's nice to eat lunch out in beautiful nature!" "I agree! Although, it's kind of weird that my brother is skipping lunch to work." "Well, I'm proud of him! He's working for his own money instead of borrowing it off someone else." "HI KATE! HI GRANDPA! BYE!" Upgrade calls out as he rushes past and cuts the grass. "Oh, hi Upgrade. Anyway—UPGRADE?!" Kate exclaims in shock as she see the alien mowing away the grass. "Dan…." Max groans out. "I should have known my brother used the watch for this." Kate deadpans.
"OKAY! Only got a small patch left and it's game time!" As Upgrade races to it, he accidentally bumps into a rock and swerves out of control! "WHOA! Going out of Control here!" He dashes through a bush into a forest are, swerving around the tree to a stop. "WHEW! That was close! I guess I should head back and—" Some pointed stick were thrown at him, bouncing off as the alien was confused. "What the-?!" He saw some small figure retreating behind a tree. "HEY! Get back here!"
But when he turn the corner, he was shocked at what he is seeing. "WHOA!" A bunch of small, gray-skinned characters wearing medieval clothing were being angry as they yelled in gibberish as they throws more stick at him. Upgrade quickly backs up and starts driving away, but more of the small thing keeps popping out of the woods, making him turn.
Things got worse when they brought out catapults, fling hard rocks at him. "WHOA! YEP! OH, BOY!" He quickly made it out, by the monsters kept chasing. "Sorry about this, Frank!" He ditches the Mower as it slid to stop, shutting down as the things kept running for him. "Why didn't Bob warned me about evil garden gnomes in the park!? Got to slow them down!" He quickly turns and fire his eye bream, making a wall of laser that stops the creatures as they backed away, giving Upgrade a chance to get ahead. "GEEZER BOB!"
The man was whistling while carving a wood, enjoying the rest and peacefulness. But he herd some noises and saw Upgrade being chased by the things. "Oh, no." Upgrade trips over another rock and falls down as Bob moves in front of him. The beings crowd around as they complained in their language. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH Dan stood up. "You all right, son?" "What are these things?!" "I call them 'Billy-Bob Goblins'. Sometimes, Boblings! And… there neighbors." Dan looks in worriment as the Boblings wield axes and other weapons as they argue and yell. "Are they always this angry?" "I didn't say they were good neighbors."
Just then, they stopped as some move aside, revealing a big Bobling with a cape and acorn on it's head as it speaks. "Who's this guy?" "That's there king. These nasty critters are very protective of their territory. I tried to warn you, but you were in such a god darn hurry!" Dan sheepish scratches his neck in embarrassment. "Anyway, I know how to calm them down. Just let me do the talking." Bob went to talk to the king as Dan hits his head. "Way to go, dude! You just made a race of goblins angry and now you lost your chance to make extra cash! Could this get any worse?"
Just then, another Bobling runs up to the king with a panicked look, telling him something that made his eyes widened in shock. Bob was shocked as well. "Oh, no! He's at it again." "Who's at it again?!" The king points at the forest as he cries out. A bunch of other Boblings stomped out with catapults and weapons as a huge one emerges as well. He was wearing barbarian warrior clothing and carries a double bladed axe. He has some scars on his arms and face with red eyes. He was muscular and reaches up to Dan's height. He roars out as the others followed as well.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Dan cries out with bulging eyes! "That's their most fearsome, biggest warrior! But he also the hottest headed, short tempered, aggressive one of all! He get so worked up over every little detail! He has a nasty habit of disobeying the king and attacking the Humans from time to time! Last time we calmed him down, he almost destroyed the park and a nearby city!"
Dan sighs out in dismay. "And the problems just keep on rolling, folks." The giant Bobling orders his men to fire, making them launched spears and rock at the human. They all saw and quickly ran and scattered as the weapons destroyed the tables and foods along with other items.
Dan, Bob and the king all ran up and looks at the chaos from a hilltop, seeing the rouge Boblings wrecks thing while scaring people off. Dan saw his family up a tree as they hang onto branches. "There destroying the park! King! You're their leader! Can't you talk to them?!" The king responds while shaking his head as Bob translates. "He said he can't! They won't listen him when there all rallied up! We need to stop them or the world's in danger!" Dan saw his recharged watch and smiles. "World in danger? That may kind of job! Going Hero!" FLASH
Big Chill notices the 2 weren't surprised at all. "This doesn't weird you 2 out at all?" They both shrug in response. "Yeah, didn't think so." He unfolds his wings and lifts Geezer Bob up while the King hangs onto his back. As Big Chill flies with the 2, Bob yells something at the rouge Boblings, making them angry and chased after them. "Hey! It works! What did you say to them?" "I just keep hitting them with 'your mama jokes'! Billy-Bob Goblins are very touchy about there mamas! No offense you highness." The king made a 'forget about it' gesture.
He kept flying as Bob keeps insulting them. They fly up high as they look at the huge group. "Think that's all of them! Now for the final touch!" He breathes a huge gust of ice, freezing them in their tracks. They all land as Big Chill comments. "How do you like me now?!" "I think you got all of them." Bob comments. Big Chill turns to the King. "Don't worry, kingey! Just get them near a fire and they'll be okay." ROAAAAAARRR They all look back to the giant Bobling as he shakes the ice off as he glares with anger while wielding his axe.
BEEP BEEP BEEP "NO! NOT YET!" FLASH "Uh oh." Dan mumbles out as the king and Bob steps aside. "You might want to start running." The old man comments as the big monster charges at him while raising his axe. "AAAHHH!" He dodges the swing as the blade was lodged in the ground. The big guy ignores it and chases after the boy. "COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!" He tries to transform, but gets a dying beep every time. He then trips over yet another rock. "SERIOUSLY?!" Falling down, he accidentally head butts his Gauntlet, turning into Wildvine.
"Well… That was graceful." He quickly stands up and saw the giant Bobling leaping at him. Thinking quickly, he unleashes his vines and covers him from head to toe. He holds the beast up as it manages to broke free. It charges at Wildvine, but the plant threw his seed bombs that exploded into knock-out gas that sent the being into dreamland. "AW, YEAH! Who's bad now!?" "Nice work son!" "AAAAHHH! Don't sneak up on me, man!" The plant told the groundskeeper. "Sorry! But now that there all rounded up, what do we do?" "I think I have an idea. Hey, you majesty! Can you round up your people into the forest?" The king nods in response.
Later, Wildvine was standing in front of the forest as Bob, Kate and Max were with him as the Bobling King was in the woods. "Okay! here goes nothing!" He stabs his legs and arms into the ground, focusing his powers as a giant wall of vines sprouts around the forest, blocking off it from the rest of the park. The king went up and tested them, finding them hard and durable and nods to his approval.
Wildvine retracts his tendrils as he breaths out. "Whew! Well… it's not a brick wall, but it will hold up! And will give the little dudes there privacy." He comments. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "Well, I'm glade that's done with! Now.. about the fee…" Dan expects for 25 to be places in his hand, only for Bob to chuckle. "Now hold on, son. You need to finish the job. But don't worry, you only have a small patch of grass to go." He points his thumb at a patch of grass that goes from a tree to an end that requires 2 goes. Dan looks in wide, exhausted eyes at more work, even after all the chaos.
Dan was pushing Frank as he managed to complete one go. But was sweating as the others watch. "Now, come on Son! You only have one more left!" "YEAH! But don't worry about lunch! I saved a small piece of pie for you!" They laugh as Dan groans at the work, hoping to never mow another lawn again. "Next time, I'll stick with doing the dishes."
