The Plague Sharks.

In Fission City’s dead of night, in a secret lair was an evil, mad scientist is at work with his evil plan.

Scientist: Yes, this is a sure fire way to rule this city.

Lackey: What have you cooked up this time, Professor?

Scientist: A little something that everyone may go “buggy” for. (chuckling evilly)

The next morning, one of the Street Sharks, Streex is cruising the city, that’s when he sees me, his kid sister/sidekick getting picked on by some bigger kid. He holds my super-powered duck upside down by the leg and shakes him.

Sara: Hey man, let go of my little pal!

Bully: Aw, but he’s fun to shake.

Swimmy: (Quacks)

Sara: Just you wait, ya big bully, I’m gonna tell my big brother on you, he’ll show ya.

Bully: Pah, you don’t scare me. What’s your stupid brother gonna do if I do this?

But before the bully can yank out Swimmy’s tail feathers…

Streex: Ahem. (taps bully’s shoulder)

The bully looks behind him and sees Streex.

Bully: (Whimpering)

Streex: Hey pal, I don’t think you’re being nice to my kid sister.

Bully high voice: Your…sister?

Streex: That’s right, which makes me the stupid brother.

Bully: (Gives Swimmy to Sara) Well, I’ll just get out of your way then.

Just before he can walk away, Streex grabs him by the leg and holds him upside down just like the bully did to Swimmy.

Streex: Let’s just see how you like being shaken upside down.

First he shakes him upside down.

Bully: (Babbling)

Streex: And this. (snarls)

And then he bites off his pants back showing his underwear.

Bully: Aah! (runs off)

Streex: And don’t let me catch you pickin’ on my sister again!

Sara: Thanks, bro.

Streex: Don’t mention it.

Sara: But you shouldn’t be seen in public like this.

Streex: Anything’s worth the risk of defending my kid sister.

Swimmy: Aw.

Soon enough, we’re at Shark HQ, I’m sitting on the couch with my best friend & neighbor.

Slammu: Hey Shorty, Streex told us how he scared off that bigger kid.

Swimmy: Yup. Mmm-hmm.

Josh: I wish I could’ve seen the look on his face.

Ripster: So do I, but I don’t think it helps our reputation 100%.

Jab: ‘Cause like we said before, people are scared of us ‘cause we’re different.

Sara: Nah, it’s because you’re jerks.

Jab under breath: Smart-mouth.

Just then, Lena comes down.

Lena: Guys, you’re not going to believe what I just got, our mysterious e-mailer says someone is creating something called “Shark bite syndrome”.

Josh: What the heck is shark bite syndrome?

Ripster: I don’t know, but I don’t like the sound of it.

Sara: Of all the times I’ve been around fish, and as far as I know, sharks don’t carry disease.

Bends: I don’t think it is what its name says, Kiddo.

Streex: I think this weirdo is planning to spread it through another way.

Ripster: I’m with ya, Streex.

(Watch beeping)

Josh: Oh, now’s the time for us to do some serious boarding.

Jab: Take care, Twerpazoids.

Leaper: Later.

We leave. (Ripster’s face shows up which changes to the next scene) Soon enough, we find an old, abandoned warehouse that has strange lights coming from inside.

Josh: What’s all that light?

Sara: I don’t know.

Swimmy: Yeah.

Sara: I also have a feeling that’s where we’ll find the bad guys.

Josh: Of course, most villains choose old warehouses, it’s one of the oldest clichés in the book.

We get to it, but the window’s too high.

Sara: Gimme a boost, man.

He puts his hands together, I put my foot on them and get on his shoulders.

Josh: (Groans)

Sara: I see someone, and some other guys. (opens window a crack)

Lackey #1: Are you sure this would work, Professor Kent?

Kent: Of course, Buck, I’m not a genius for nothing.

He feeds the tanked mosquitoes & ticks infected blood.

Kent: There, once the ticks & mosquitoes drink this blood containing my new “Shark bite syndrome”, they will carry out the new virus that’ll make me rule this city.

Buck: But be careful, one little nip and it’ll spread through you in minutes.

I close the window.

Sara whispers: Psst. Josh-man, this weirdo is gonna infect Fission City with ticks & mosquitoes.

Josh: Ho boy.

Leaper & Swimmy try to get a better look, they jump and get on Josh’s face.

Josh: D’oh!

But once they’re on my shoulders…

Josh: (Grunting) I don’t think I can hold on much longer.

He accidentally slips on a banana peel.

Josh out-loud: Whoa!

Sara: Aah!

(Crashing & clattering)

Buck: What was that?

Other lackey: It came from outside.

Kent: Buck, Tooth, see who it was.

They go out back, where they see us lying with the trashcans over us.

Buck: Hey! What’re you squirts doing here?

All: Uh-oh!

Tooth: Get them!

We try to get away, but too late for Buck grabs Josh & I while Tooth takes Swimmy & Leaper.

Josh: Hey! Let us go, ya creeps!

Buck: Oh, I don’t think so. See, we can’t stand snoopy kids.

Tooth: And you know what we do to spies?

Sara: I dare not ask.

Just then, Swimmy & Leaper jump into action; Swimmy bites Tooth’s finger and Leaper spits in his eye.

Tooth: Ack! (lets go of them) You little beasts!

Then do the same to Buck freeing us and Swimmy uses his super-strength to throw Buck over at the tank of bugs.

Josh: Thanks guys, now, let’s get outta here.

Leaper: (Croaks)

Just then, one of the mosquitoes gets loose and flies over to us, it bites Josh!

Josh: Ack! Man, I hate mosquitoes.

We leave.

Buck: They’re getting away!

Kent: Don’t worry, Buck. In case you didn’t notice, the boy’s been bitten. He can run from us, but he can’t run from the syndrome.

Soon enough, we make it back to Shark HQ where we run into Bends & Ripster.

Sara: Ripster! Bends! Guys!

Ripster: What is it now, guys?

Sara: Guys, you won’t believe what just happened!

Bends: Did your dolphins do another (does air quote) “amazing” trick?

Sara: No! We saw some weird dude messing with some mosquitoes & ticks.

Josh: He’s gonna use 'em to infect Fission City.

Swimmy: (Quacks) Shark bite syndrome.

Ripster: Whoa, whoa, back up. How can it be called shark bite syndrome if they’re using ticks & mosquitoes to spread it?

Josh: Whoo. Man, this stupid bug bite is itching like nuts.

Bends: Lemme see.

He sees the bug bite, and it starts forming into a pattern.

Bends: Whoa, never seen a mosquito bite do that before.

Sara: I’ve seen that pattern before, looks like the scar you get after a shark bite.

Ripster: Wait a second, I think I’m starting to get the picture.

Bends: Yeah, I think I am too. C’mon, Josh, I wanna run a couple tests.

He takes him to the lab, soon Josh is sitting on a counter and Bends takes a little bit of the boy’s blood in a syringe.

Josh: (Grunts, seethes)

Bends: Yeah, I know, buddy. Shots suck.

Leaper: (Croaks)

Bends goes to a microscope and puts the blood sample on the slot and sees strange-looking bacteria with me, my bros, Swimmy & Leaper looking over his shoulder.

Bends: This isn’t like any bacteria I’ve seen.

Jab: Think it’s malaria?

Ripster: Can’t be, malaria doesn’t leave a pattern after the bite.

Josh: I suddenly don’t feel so good.

He suddenly collapses, Streex catches him.

Streex: Josh!

Bends: (Feels Josh’s forehead) Whoa! Big guy, you’re burning up.

Slammu: I’m thinking we should get you to a doctor.

Sara: No, we can’t risk his mom finding out.

Bends: She’s right.

He puts him on the couch and covers him with a blanket, just as Lena comes.

Lena: Guys! What happened?

Ripster: Josh-dude’s been infected with the new shark bite syndrome.

Sara: Yeah. He & I found out how this guy is gonna spread it, through ticks & mosquitoes.

Ripster: I say we go to that warehouse and get this guy to give us the antidote. C’mon shorty, you know where the place is.

Sara: Woohoo!

Lena: Good luck, guys.

Streex: Take care of Josh.

Leaper: (Croaks) Yeah.

We get out the warehouse, but there are security cameras everywhere.

Ripster: Great. They got the place secured.

Jab: Don’t worry, Swimmy & Leaper got it covered. Right guys?
Leaper/Swimmy: (Chatter)

Streex: Sure you can do this without Josh?

Sara: Leave it to us, bro.

So, with their super-speed, Swimmy & Leaper wipe out every single camera. The bad guys see this.

Kent: What? What happened to my cameras? Buck, Tooth, see what the problem is.

Both: Yes sir.

They go out to the back and see me, Swimmy & Leaper.

Sara: Hiya boys.

Buck: It’s the squirt & critters from earlier.

Tooth: Get them!

Swimmy: (Squawks) Let’s split!

Sara: Wuh-oh!

The bad guys start chasing after me & the critters while the Sharks make their move.

Ripster: Now’s our chance.

Slammu: What about our sis?

Streex: She’ll be fine, Slammu. Swimmy & Leaper are with her.

Jab: We gotta find the antidote for Josh.

They go inside the warehouse, unaware of some surprises.

Streex: This place gives me the creeps.

Ripster: It’s gotta be in here.

Just then, he picks up visitors on his sonar.

Ripster: Shark alert, guys.

Jab: What is it, Rip?

Ripster: We’re about to get some visitors, right about…now!

Dozens of robots bust in right when he says that.

Ripster: Well, little bros, what do we say in this kinda situation?

Sharks: Shark Attack!

So, the Sharks jump into action; Ripster chomps a robots arm. Streex rollerblades around, grabs a ‘bot.

Streex: Anyone up for “crack the whip”?

Bashes it into another.

Streex: Jawsome.

While Jab head butts a robot and it crashes into another, they start going down like dominos. Slammu seems surrounded, but…

Slammu: Seismic Slam! (grunts)

He slams his fist into the ground causing an earthquake, the robots loose their balance & crash into each other, turning into scrap.

Ripster: Just a few more to go.

Jab: Way ahead of ya, bro.

He goes over to a crane with a large crate still on it, he moves it over some.

Streex: Hey robo-dorks. (blows raspberry)

He gets the robots to follow him, Jab releases the crate and crushes the robots.

Jab: Whoo!

Streex: All right.

Both: (High five) Jawsome! (butt heads)

Ripster: Well, that takes care of one obstacle. There are probably more ahead.

Slammu: I wonder if our sister & the boys are having as much fun as we are.

Meanwhile, with the boys in my backpack, them & I are still on the run from Buck & Tooth. First I stop at a “don’t walk” light, a couple cars pass by as the goons are getting closer…

Sara: Hurry, hurry!

Swimmy: (Whimpers)

Leaper: Ohh…

The light changes, after looking both ways, I cross, the goons do too, but the light changes right when they get in the middle of the street and a couple cars run them over!

Both: (Groaning)

They’re road pancakes, but a second later do they get back up and continue on the chase. They run past a clothes store, but they don’t notice a familiar looking dummy in the window. After they’re gone…

Sara: Whew!

Store guy: Ahem. Excuse me, could you get out of the display window, please?

Sara: Gladly, I was just in need of a good hiding place.

Swimmy: (Quacks)

I run off. Meanwhile, the Sharks come into another room full of cuckoo clocks but they’re being watched by Prof. Kent.

Kent: Well, well, it seems as though we have some visitors. Let’s see if they like my cuckoo clocks.

He throws a switch and out of the clocks’ little doors come instead of little birds come flying spears!

All: Whoa!

Streex: Some clocks!

Ripster: There’s no way we can get past all of that. But maybe we can get under ‘em.

Sharks: Shark Dive!

They dive into the ground and burrow under the shooting arrows. They make it out all right.

Ripster: Whew, that was close.

Streex: I’m gettin’ the feelin’ this dude knows we’re here.

Slammu: And now I know, look.

He points to a camera in the corner.

Ripster: Of course, video cameras.

Jab: Allow me. (snarls)

He chomps the camera. The bad guy’s TVs get nothing but static.

Kent: Ohh, blast those stupid sharks! Well, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

Back in another part of Fission City, Buck & Tooth are still after me. After I turn into an alley, the goons stop as the Warner kids run past with Ralph chasing them. Wakko leaps onto Buck.

Wakko: (Gives big kiss, leaves)

Buck: (Spitting)

The goons continue after me. They grab someone that they believe is me, but…

Buck: Aha! Now we gotcha!

He grabs that someone, but it isn’t me, it’s some other kid!

Kid: (Crying)

The kid’s mom starts beating up Buck with her purse, while the guy in the trench coat, fedora & sunglasses leaning on the brick wall reading a newspaper sneaks away, turns out the guy is me in disguise.

Tooth: There she goes!

They continue after me, but the Warner kids appear again.

Yakko: Quick, in here!

I get in the trashcan, the goons come.

Buck: Did you 3 see a stupid kid?

Yakko: Sure, there’s one in this trashcan.

They open the trashcan lid and a hideous monster appears in it!

Monster: (Roaring)

Goons: (Scream, run off)

Once they’re gone, I come out of the dumpster.

Sara: Thanks guys. How’d you do that?

Wakko: It’s easy, watch.

Dot: Here comes Ralph now!

Yakko: All you have to do is tell him where we are.

Sara: Uh, O.K.

They hide in a trashcan, Ralph comes.

Ralph: Duh, excuse me, miss, have you seen 3 strange little things?

Sara: Sure, they’re in there.

Ralph: Thanks.

He goes off with the trashcan as the Warners come out of my backpack.

Sara: I have a feeling he’s in for a surprise.

Wakko: Let’s watch.

We see Ralph at his panel truck and he puts the trashcan in it, but after he closes the door, Tooth is in the truck.

Tooth: (Muffled yelling)

Ralph: Duh, you’re not the Warners.

The Warners & I gather in the alley.

Yakko: All righty, first introductions. Madam, you first.

Sara: My name’s Sara. These are Swimmy & Leaper.

Yakko/Wakko: We’re the Warner Brothers…

Dot: And the Warner Sister.

Swimmy/Leaper: Hi.

Yakko: I’m Yakko…

Wakko: I’m Wakko…

Dot: And I’m Princess Andelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana-fana Bobeska III. But you may call me Dot.

Sara: Sweet, I’m a huge fan of yours.

Yakko: Thanks. Well, I notice we’re all on a wild goose chase. So, what’s say we team up to get rid of these guys?

Sara: Great. Anything to get those guys off my back so I can return to my brothers and find a cure for my best friend.

Wakko: Don’t worry, Sarey. We’ll help ya.

Yakko: So, who’s in?

He puts his hand out, the rest of us put ours on his and raise them. Meanwhile, the Sharks go into a broom closet and find a crate full of…

Ripster reads label: “Antiviral”. For a plague that doesn’t exist…yet.

Streex: But if it’s introduced via ticks & mosquitoes…

Slammu: It’ll infect all of Fission City in weeks.

Voice: Days, actually.

Sharks: Huh?

They turn around and see Prof. Kent.

Ripster: So, you plan to spread “shark bite syndrome”.

Jab: And gave it to our sidekick.

Kent: That’s right, once I release my infected ticks & mosquitoes, I’ll also distribute the antiviral and they’ll call me a hero, then I’ll rule the city. (evil chuckle, whistles)

6 jumbo robots come, they grab the sharks, then chain them & muzzle them together.

Kent: If they refuse to cooperate. (imitates slicing sound) Or give them the same fate as their young sidekick.

The robots follow Kent with the captive sharks. Meanwhile, the Warner kids & I are still on the run of Buck, Tooth & Ralph, we get to the baseball stadium.

Buck: Where’d those stupid kids go?

Sara: Oh boys…

They turn to us at a back door, we start jigging in a silly way.

All: Weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle-weegle!

Buck: (Growls)

We enter the seats, but it’s just time for the national anthem. Everyone, even us & the goons, stop to sing.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Afterwards, we continue the chase by stepping over people’s heads.

People: (Various complaints)

While the goons are getting through everyone by pushing them aside in their seats.

Goons: (Grunting)

They pass some folks whom are us in disguise. That’s when we see a very pretty snack woman.

Woman: Get your snacks & sodas here, folks! No game is complete without your snacks!

Yakko & Wakko jump into her arms.

Yakko/Wakko: Hello nurse!

Dot: Boys.

Then, we notice the goons next to us.

Sara: Uh-oh. Looks like our cover blew!

Warners: Yipe!

I take the Warner boys and we zip off continuing the chase. Back at the warehouse, the Sharks are tied & gagged in a corner while Kent is in another room on his coffee break.

Ripster thinking: *If I can just send a telepathic message to Swimmy or Leaper.* (concentrate thoughts) *Swimmy, Leaper, either of you, please pick up. The guys & I are in trouble. Hurry.*

Meanwhile, Ralph & Tooth grab some kids they think are us, but…

Buck: You morons! Those aren’t the kids!

They turn out to be the wrong kids.

Ralph: Oops.

They get a purse beating by the kids’ moms. It turns out, the Warners & I ducked into a broom closet.

All: Whew!

Yakko: Am I exhausted from all that runnin’.

Sara: Me too. I’m outta breath.

Wakko: I’m dehydrated.

Dot: I’m cute.

Sara: Of course, dearest. (pets Dot’s head)

Wakko pulls out of his gag bag a six-pack bottled water.

Yakko: Yay.

Sara: Oh. Thanks, little bud.

We start having a drink and taking deep breaths, just then, Leaper gets Ripster’s message.

Leaper: Huh? Uh-oh. (Croaking & babbling)

Wakko: What’s he saying?

Sara: Uh-oh, he said my bros are being held hostage and the bad guy’s gonna release his evil scheme.

Yakko: Better get going, Leaper, all of Fission City is counting on you.

Sara: Think about Josh.

Swimmy: (Holds Leaper’s flippers, quacks)

Leaper: (Puts flipper on Swimmy’s shoulder, croaks)

So, he goes back to the warehouse with his super-speed. There, the bad guy returns from his coffee break.

Kent: Ahh, now that my coffee break is over, now to unleash my virus.

He opens the box with the infected ticks & mosquitoes, but…

Kent: What?!

Leaper’s in the box, turns out he ate all the ticks & mosquitoes.

Leaper: (Burps) Excuse me.

Kent: How’d you get in here?

Leaper: (Points to an open air vent)

Kent: How’d you get here so quickly?

Leaper: Super-speed.

Kent: You little…! My virus! My future! Grr!

He gets really mad and starts becoming bigger & bigger, into like a 10 ft. tall pro wrestler!

Leaper: Uh-oh.

He goes over to the sharks and frees them.

Jab: Thanks, Leap.

Streex: Whoa, I wonder how the fin did he get bigger.

Ripster: I don’t think this guy’s even human.

Kent: Now, puny sharks! You’re anchovy paste!

He’s about to stomp them!

Sharks: Oh no!

They dodge in time and then start fighting him off. Meanwhile, the Warners, Swimmy & I are sneaking out the back way, but…

Ralph: Aha! There you is!

All: (Scream)

We run off, but we’re surrounded!

Yakko: I hate to admit it, guys, but we’re trapped.

Tooth: I’ve had it with games.

Buck: And now, you’re coming with us.

We get into a fight that looks like a big cloud with stars & other symbols, a second later, the goons go off with a couple of burlap sacks. They go five blocks away.

Ralph: Oh boy, I finally caught the Warners.

Tooth: And we caught the girl.

They open the sacks, turns out Tooth got Buck and Ralph got the home team’s mascot.

Tooth: Uh-oh.

Buck: (Pounds Tooth)

Mascot: Hey man, what’s your problem?

Ralph: Oops.

Tooth: If you 2 are here then, where are those blasted kids?

Turns out, we’re outside the warehouse, the Warner kids & I are bidding good-bye.

Sara: Thanks a lot for helping me lose the guys.

Yakko: It’s our pleasure.

Wakko: Always glad to help a friend & fan.

Dot: Drop by the Warner Studios sometime.

Sara: I will sometime.

Yakko: Well, bye Sarey.

Dot: Bye-bye.

Wakko: So long.

All: (Various good-byes)

They leave as Swimmy & I wave good-bye until they’re out of site. That’s when he & I start climbing the fire escape to the roof.

Swimmy: Uh-oh.

He points to the skylights, there we see the Sharks & Leaper trying to fight off a giant dude.

Sara: Who the H-E-Double toothpicks is that?

Inside…

Kent: You can’t defeat me, Sharkies, I am the all-powerful Professor Kent!

Slammu: He has to have some kinda weakness.

Ripster: The problem is finding it.

Swimmy finds a skylight that opens, we try going through it, but I slip and hang there!

Sara: (Screams)

Ripster: Sara!

Kent grabs me and holds me in his gigantic hand.

Kent: I’ve had enough of you, I like the idea of squashing you like a bug.

Slammu: Hey! That’s my sister, ya jerk!

Kent: Not one more step, Sharks, or witness your sister’s own destruction.

Ripster: You wouldn’t dare.

Kent: Just watch me.

But just then, Swimmy comes down and covers Kent’s eyes.

Swimmy: (Quacks) Guess who?

Kent: Uh… Maryland Mansion?

Swimmy: Uh-uh.

Kent: Uh… John Stamos?

Swimmy: Nope.

Kent: I give up, the duck in the swimsuit?

Swimmy: Ohh, you peaked.

Kent uses his free hand to try & smash Swimmy, but with Swimmy’s super-speed, he just keeps missing & hitting himself.

Ripster: That’s it! Swimmy, get him to beat himself up.

Swimmy: (Salutes)

He shakes his butt at Kent.

Swimmy: (Quack, quack, quack-qauck, quack)

Swimmy continues making Kent beat himself up, until he’s worn out.

(Electricity crackling)

Ripster: Electricity?

Swimmy frees me as soon as Kent starts toppling over. I jump with him in my arms.

Sara/Swimmy: (Screaming)

Streex catches us in his arms.

Streex: Gotcha, short-stuff.

Leaper goes to the toppling Kent.

Leaper: (Blows)

Kent falls over, into a thousand pieces.

Streex: Whoa. He’s a robot.

Ripster: And look at this.

We see in the center, a couple of certain white mice, one’s shorter with a big head, the other is taller with a big red nose & buck teeth.

Brain: Another plan failed.

Jab: This is what we went against?

I pick them up in my hands and put them on the ground. They head out the door.

Brain: Come Pinky.

Pinky: Gee Brain, what’re we gonna do now?
Brain: The same thing we always do, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

Chorus: They’re Pinky, they’re Pinky & the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain. Brain!

The 2 mice leave.

Sara: As Josh would say, Is it O.K. to be weirded out now?

Streex: Go for it.

Ripster: Forget it, we gotta get the antiviral to Josh before it’s too late.

Soon enough, we return to Shark HQ with the antiviral and to Lena & Bends still tending to the ill Josh.

Bends: Oh great, you’re back.

Ripster: Yeah, and we got the antiviral.

Jab: How’s the goofball?

Lena: No better than before. Quick, the antiviral.

Ripster gives her the antiviral, she puts the stuff in a syringe and injects it into Josh.

Josh: (Winces, sighs)

A minute later, he starts reviving.

Josh: Ohh… Hey guys.

Everyone: (Cheering)

Sara: Josh-man, you’re back!

Josh: Sure am. Hope I didn’t cause any trouble.

Ripster: No trouble we can’t handle, Big guy.

Slammu: Swimmy & Leaper were the real heroes.

Sara: Well, it’s getting late, maybe we should head home.

Josh: Sure, but first tell me, did anything interesting happen?
Sara: Well, you probably won’t believe me.

Josh: Try me. I’m a gullible guy.

Sara: Well, all right.

I start telling him about me & the goons.

The End.
