Text Box:               Bionic Man & The Prodigys: Return of Monster Man

Text Box: *Goldeye,Incorporated once again brings you the remarkable adventures of Blake Rogers, the Bionic Man! While helping his uncle escape a laboratory fire, Blake Rogers is caught in a chemical explosion that imparts upon him the speed of a cheetah, the strength of an elephant, the crushing grip of a python, the jumping power of a kangaroo, reflexes of a cat, and the senses of a crouching cougar. Together with the super-team, Prodigy, the Bionic Man crushes all evil! And now for today's adventure, “ The Return of Monster Man!”   Twilight in San Francisco– The Golden Gate Bridge slowly wakes up to aid the natives of the cement jungle. A strange light is pulsating in a sewer entrance under the bridge. But it is no ordinary sewer entrance, it is the secret entrance to the BioniSphere, secret lair of the Bionic Man! Within the BioniSphere, millions of scientific paraphernalia register wildly, and, within the Mounts of Victory, a strange, eerie glow is emitted from one of the trophies. Suddenly, a crash! It is as if the very forces of chaos itself had been unleashed! Suddenly, an explosion! And standing in the midst of the rubble, Fred Johnson, the Monster Man!*     *It is morning and a meeting of some of the greatest crime fighters in history is taking place in the BioniSphere.*   ~BM-Guys, I’ve called this meeting         Because of …………. This.~   *Blake motions to the door of the Mounts of Victory. Thelma studies it closely.*   ~BW– Any clues, Blake?~ ~BM– None. Say, Shag, think Spooky     can  pick up something.~ ~MEM– Spooky? ~MM-(telepathically) I’ll try.   *Swallowing a Super Snack, Spooky  laRue transforms into Mystery Mutt, and shrinks to microscopic size! Flying through the Mounts of Victory at Super-Speed, Mystery Mutt telepathically relays what he sees to the Prodigys!*   ~BM– Good Job, Spooky. Hmm, the only        Thing disturbed seems to...to..      ...to be the… the TOME OF DOOM!~ ~BW-Fred’s loose!~ ~MEM-{gulp} Zonkers!~ ~MM-Freddy...................~ ~BW- If Fred’s loose... Daphne’s in     danger!~ ~BM-We’ve got to get to her before        He does! PRODIGYS GO!~   *Pressing the secret panel on the Round Table, the Prodigys fly down to the Vehicle Bay and jump into their TerraZoomer. Soon, they are flying to the condo of Daphne Jones, newscaster, reporter, fashion designer, and model for CLVL, the San Francisco news network.~                  ~[MEANWHILE]~     *Within her condo, Daphne Jones was getting dressed for a day off at the beach, when suddenly, AN EAR-SPLITTING CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking at what used to be a door, Daphne knew what was the culprit. El Chupecabera!!! Or, as she knew, Monster Man! Dashing for her magic bracelet, she becomes the accessorized heroine, Fashion Sense!*   ~FS-Fred!~ ~MM-Because you double-crossed me, Fashion Sense, you’ll     never see the sun again [devilish laughter]!!!~   *Calling upon his evil powers, Monster Man tries to attack Fashion Sense, only to be speared by her diamond rang! Leaping outside, Fashion Sense deploys her unbreakable Elasti-Scarf and swings to the roof. Diamond rang in hand, she prepares for battle, not noticing the sudden drop in temperature. Suddenly, a ghostly hand grabs her, it is Monster Man!*   ~MM-Ya,hahahahahahaha, Now to destroy you, my pretty!     Bwahhahahahha-ARGH!!!!~   *Suddenly, Monster Man is hit by a blue sphere of mental energy. It is the Prodigys!!!*   ~Prodigys-Prodigys Go!!~   *Climbing up onto the side of the building, Bionic Man orders the Prodigys via BookWorms’ telepathy.*   ~BM-Mystery Mutt, fly up and save Fashion Sense!     BookWorm, you and Matter-Eater-Man evacuate the     building! I’ll handle Monster Man!~ ~Prodigys– Roger!~   *Swallowing his Super Snack, speeds up the side of the building and grabs Fashion Sense out of Monster Mans grasp! Flying her to safety, he then speeds back to the battle to aid his teammates.*                      ~[MEANWHILE]~   *Matter-Eater-Man and BookWorm were trying into the building to evacuate it, but the emergency door was blocked. Calling upon his powers of matter absorption, Matter-Eater-Man chomps down on the door and what was blocking it. Dashing in, Matter-Eater-Man and BookWorm evacuate the building.*   *After BookWorm and Matter-Eater-Man evacuated the building, Bionic Man begins his assault on Monster Man.*   ~BM-The gigs up, Monster Man! Give up or fight to the     death!~ ~MM-Never! May the best man win!~   *Leaping upon the construction which Bionic Man is perched, Monster Man pounces to the attack, only to be met by a gridiron tackle from Bionic Man! Falling into the street below, Bionic Man tries to hammer Monster Man into submission with a car, but Monster Man springs back up and attacks Bionic Man!!!*   ~MM– A few days ago, you could’ve kicked me around like     yesterdays trash, but now, I am your Master!~ ~BM– No...You’re...NOT!!!~   *Calling upon the savage fury of the many animals within him, Bionic Man fights like a man possessed!*                 ~[MEANWHILE]~   *Dashing to the Terra-Zoomer, BookWorm grabs the Tome of Doom. Passing it to Bionic Man like a star quarterback, the two bathe Monster Man in the strange ray, separating the souls of Fred Johnson, a.k.a. the Strong-Arm-Man, and Selina Drake, a.k.a. Monster Master.*   ~BM-[thought] If I continue to bathe Monster Man in the              Tome of Dooms’ light, I’ll drain Fred's              spirit, too. [telepathically] Mystery Mutt!              Assistance, Please!~   *Flying to the scene of the struggle, Mystery Mutt whisks Strong-Arm-Man out of the beam! Soon, all of Monster Master is drained out of the physical universe, and the Prodigys are victorious!!!*   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{EPILOGUE}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   *Within the BioniSphere, most of the team is congratulating Strong-Arm-Man back into the team. Except for Bionic Man.*   ~BM-[look on face like cougar sizing up it’s prey]       Welcome back, Johnson. I was wondering when I’d get     to see that ugly mug of yours on friendly terms.     [breaking into a smile] This doesn’t mean we have  to     like each other, does it?~ ~Prodigys-Blake!~ ~BM-Kidding. Can’t you guys take a joke? Off course I     want Fred back. Without him we always missed our BIG     FINISH, eh?~ ~Prodigys-[laughter]~    Bionic Man, here, and, now that Fred’s back, you can bet that Monster Master will never escape Justice. Justice... and the Prodigys!
