Send in the Clones part II: Captain Botaroo

Follow the Bouncing Ball!

Cart fires wild exploding a few more ping pong balls in a colorful burst of smoke. Will cheers on Botaroo enthusiastically. Brett stretches his arm towards the object and it explodes sending him flying into a tower of boxes throwing ping pong balls everywhere.

We're not traitors! those guys are traitors!

They indicate Cart-in-the-box

Yeah, what's that guy's clearance? No way is he allowed to use that rifle!

AH ha! more traitorz in ze Mists! Vhat do you zay? Are you a loyal Zitizeen?!

"Since all of you are loyal citizens, I may freely reveal to you that I am also a high level secret agent loyal to Friend Computer." Cart looked at the boys and retorted, "I am not permitted to tell you what Ultraviolet clearance means, but that's higher than Indigo." Cart held up the rifle.

"Do not be fooled by the traitors in our midst. They are the ones playing communist music! We must stop them!" Cart pointed at the studio control room.

I go inside the music studio and look for a bottom with a big OFF on it. "Oh no botaroo! the traitors must be little elves inside theses music boxes!" I add to distract the robot (and the kids!) from Cart's blatant lie.

"Ouch! I, er, meant to do that!" Brett picks himself up as while brushing away dust and balls. "Oh! I did not know you're actually such a high level, Cart! Captain Botaroo, isn't it so amazing to see two legends in one room? As for me, I am but a humble multicorder-carrying magician in service to The Great Computer!"

Captain Botaroo's Robot head turns tracking The Great and Mysterious Brett-R-WYD

AH! Great Computer! Never Before Have I Zeen zuch COMPETENT Zeek-o-phanzee! You Are a LOYAL CITIZEN! What do you ZAY CHILDREN?

The kids are ganging up on Cart.

That guy's a liar!

YEAH!

YEAH How'd He even know about the COMMUNIST MUSIC? That means he listened to it.

Yeah Everyone knows only Commies listen to COMMIE MUSIC

they start chanting classic junior exercise taunts

Commie Commie 2 by 4.
Knocking on the commie door!

Zoombot Zoombot, Commie is A Gluepot...

Oh no! The commies have succeeded in brainwashing our most precious youths! They cannot real who the real communists are. Botaroo, you must put a stop to the communist music coming from inside there, and release these youths from their mind-control. Look, even now they are all chanting the same way!

Ignoring all the blame shifting and name calling going on the other room, I grab the familiar artificial rock as I make new game suggestion to the junior kids "Hey guys! Who wants to play a new game? I call it... wirepulling: whoever pulls the right wire out of the console and stops the music can help Captain botaroo and and Flash indigo!". I stop to consider the game rules a bit further "It's just like musical chairs!!

Brett makes his way towards the studio door. "So, you kids are saying that instead of communist music being played, it is created by the ever-talented Computer? Let's have an additional game of Is It Traitor or Loyal!..." Brett will also attempt to see what the current lyrics are now.

Captain Botaroo isn't buying it.

AH DO NOT LISTEN CHILDREN TO COMMIE LIES! EVERYONE SING A HAPPY SONG!

He begins rolling towards Cart, his cattle prod arm outstretched and sparking

Now stay compleeeeetleee steeeeel for mandatory PUNISHMENT!

"Psion? Now what does that mean?... Is that a name of a person? Another name for The Computer? Whatever that is, it is clearly not a song about Friend Computer or any of his generous products!" Brett then watches The Captain as he moves in to give Cart a couple of zaps. "If only I had popcorn with me..." Brett records the showdown.

"Baneful Botaroo!" Cart lapsed into his regular speech pattern as he looked for a way to disable the robot without seeming like he was going to fight it, whipping out his multitool device. In the meantime, he needed a distraction."SP0T, fetch Botaroo's stick!" If the robot were distracted, Cart advanced to try to commandeer it.

Not only an artist of magic and illusion, but an artist with the camera as well. Brett perfectly captures the raw emotion of the moment as Captain Botaroo takes a jab at Cart with his electrified cattle prod.

Just as the good Captain takes his swing GR8-SPOT appears under a layer of pink foam and bites down hard on the prod. It sends an electric current through the G8R-Bot Causing it to extend its arms and legs in the air as sparks course through it and illuminate it's endoskeleton.

The goofiest of the Junior Citizens turns around.

I don't wanna play that game. Let's play catch instead!

He produces a electro net-gun and fires it.

Catch!

"Net? Catch? Run!"
