*Text that reads "Japan, November 26th, 8498" is typed at the bottom of the screen. Fade in to the gates of a military training camp. Through the following dialogue, we meet a 16-year-old female anthropomorphic Raccoon who is seen sporting a wintry outfit, blue eyes and long, raven hair. She steps through the gates. She is carried off by a platform through a series of chambers until she's given a futuristic soldier's outfit and is met with several other men and women of different species of Ani-Sapiens in the same outfit as her that are standing before a bulldog (Possibly the Drill Sargent) wearing a flashier outfit. She steps off the platform and is set in the front row*
Akiko (Voice-Over): World War MMMMIV...A time of sorrow, a time of pain...A time of Maraco Buccarel...My name is Akiko Yorakasha. I'm a Japanese veteran of this war. If you are watching this, it means this footage made it to the 21st Century. I signed up for the war after my father died 2 years before. He was an assassin sent to kill Buccarel only to have HIS life ended instead. Before a draft at the age of 16 for some odd reason, I trained for the day I was able to join the military. I was fitted with my uniform and arrived just as the drill Sargent was about to speak.
Fronk: LISTEN UP PROCKS*, I AM DRILL SARGENT FRONK! FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS, I WILL BE YOUR MOTHER! I WILL BE FATHER! I WILL BE YOUR SISTER! I WILL BE YOUR BROTHER! I WILL BE ANY FAMILY MEMBER YOU CHOOSE! BUT UNLESS I TAKE A SHINE TO YOU, THE ONLY THING I WILL NOT BE IS YOUR FRIEND! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?
*Maggot replacement.
Cadets: SIR, YES SIR!
Fronk: UNTIL THIS WAR IS OVER, YOU WILL NOT EAT, YOU WILL NOT SLEEP, YOU WILL NOT EVEN BATHE UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED A MISSION GIVEN TO YOU! ARE YOU WILLING COOPERATE WITH THAT!?
Cadets: SIR, YES SIR!
*Akiko coughs*
Fronk: *Walks up to Akiko* Is there a problem, miss?
Akiko: SIR, NO SIR
Fronk: Hmm...*Observes Akiko*...What's your name, Prock?
Akiko: AKIKO YORAKASHA!
Fronk: ...WHY ARE YOU HERE!?
Akiko: SIR! IT'S BECAUSE OF MY FATHER!
Fronk: YOU'RE ONLY HERE BECAUSE YOUR FATHER SIGNED YOU UP!?
Akiko: NO! IT'S BECAUSE HE WAS KILLED WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL! I DO NOT WISH THIS SADNESS TO BE REPEATED ON ANOTHER FAMILY, SIR!
Fronk (Thinking): *Turns around and walks back to his original spot* So, YOU'RE the Raven-Headed Death's little girl...
Akiko: Sir?
Fronk: PROCKS! *Turns back to the cadets* TAKE A LESSON FROM MS. YORAKASHA HERE, THE REASON YOU ARE HERE TODAY IS TO GIVE YOUR LIVES SO COUNTLESS FAMILIES WILL NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ANY LONGER! GET PLENTY OF REST TONIGHT, FOR TOMORROW, YOUR TRAINING BEGINS! DIIIISMISSED!
*Fade out. Text that reads "That night in the girls cabin..." is typed at the bottom of the screen. Fade into the cabin as the text disappears. The girls (Some of them stripped down to their underwear) are walking around conversing with each other. Everybody except for Akiko who is lying on her bunk looking at the ceiling. The beds seem to be pod-like. During the following, one of the girls (A red-headed Ring-tailed Lemur about 18) notices her and walks over to her direction*
Akiko (Voice-Over): That night I was wondering how my outcome in the war would go. What would be my mark? How will I affect it? The bright-side of it was, that I had a friend to get me through it.
??? (Catching Akiko by surprise): Hey there!
Akiko: AH! *Looks at the girl*...Hi.
???: So, you're the late Toksore "The Raven-Headed Death" Yorakasha's daughter, right?
Akiko: ...Yes, but I don't expect any special treatment or anything. I just want to become a regular soldier like the rest of you.
???: Gonna be hard to do.
Akiko: Why?
???: Well, I heard rumors that an American is looking for someone like you and is fixin' to make her a super soldier called a "Meta-Sapien" to hopefully end the war.
Akiko: Really?
Mira: Yeah, but Their only rumors...Well, gotta have friends for these times doncha? *Holds out her hand* The name's Mira Ikuzee.
Akiko: *Shakes Mira's hand* Akiko Yorakasha.
*The door opens. A female Dalmatian Drill Sargent is on the other side*
Drill Sargent: AKIKO YORAKASHA!
Akiko: *Sits up* Here!
Drill Sargent: Come with me!
*Akiko jumps off her bunk, puts her shoes on and follows the drill Sargent. During the following they make their way to Fronk's office*
Akiko (Voice-Over): Needless to say, you'd be surprised how many rumors wind up being true. I didn't expect it at first, but I was hand-selected as the test pilot of a new weapon known only as the X-erum.
*The Two enter the office. Fronk is sitting at his desk*
Fronk: Ah, there you are. *Stands up and walks up to Akiko* That'll be all Ai, dismissed.
Ai (The Drill Sargent): Yes sir. *Walks away*
Akiko: Sir, what's all this about?
Edward: "Sir" is too formal, just call me Edward (But not in front of the other Procks).
Akiko: Edward...Wait, as in Edward Fronk, my late father's old partner?
Edward: The same.
Akiko: You and my father were the most renowned assassins in Japan. Why are you working as a drill Sargent?
Edward: To cut a long story short, it's the only job I'm cut out for nowadays...As for the reason I called you in here, I understand you caught on to the rumors?
Akiko: I've only heard of them tonight.
Edward: Well, all I can say is they're true.
*A red-headed wolf wearing a suit steps in*
Charles: Ms. Yorakasha, I'm Charles Lupington of Lupington Enterprises in America.
Akiko: The lead company dedicated to the well-being of mankind in the System*? Why are you here?
*The Solar System to be specific.
Charles: *Pulls out a syringe of green liquid* To make you into a super soldier of course.
Akiko: But...Why me?
Charles: Your father was one of the most skilled men in the world.
Akiko: Is that because of-?
Charles: Not exactly. See, my top scientist created and perfected this after his death. It's actually supposed to unlock those skills and give you powers beyond your wildest imagination.
Akiko: ...Is it safe?
Charles: Assuredly. The powers it gives is based on the theme given. This one gives you the powers and abilities of an anime character (Such as eating as much as you like, and not gaining weight from it). Only one can be injected into anyone who takes it. If given a second dose, the Meta-Sapien is likely to explode.
Akiko: ...If it's enough to help win this war, then so be it!
Charles: Good. *Places a blue, glowing armband half way up to Akiko's shoulder blade which tightens. He gets ready to inject the X-erum into Akiko* Now, you might feel a slight burning sensation inside of you, but it's only temporary. *Injects Akiko*
*Akiko's blood veins start glowing green. He collapses to the ground clutching her arms screaming in pain*
Edward: Is she going to be okay?
Charles: That sensation will wear off soon. *Walks over to a pod-like chamber* Well, wish I could stay longer, but it's Thanks Giving back in my country. *Glows cyan and disappears*
Akiko: *Her veins stop glowing and she starts panting in relief* What now?
Edward: For now, just get some rest, you have a long day ahead of you. Dismissed.
*Akiko salutes and walks out. Fade out. Text that reads "The next day" is typed at the bottom of the screen. Fade in as the text disappears. Through the following, cue a montage of Akiko going through training in boot camp and perfecting her powers*
Akiko (Voice-Over): The next morning, I started my training. For both the war and my powers. It was only the first day, but I was branded as the teacher's pet. Even so, it was always comforting to know that Mira would always be there for me. She was a good soldier...And a good friend.
*The montage ends with a shot of the Mess Hall. Akiko walks over to the table with Mira. Akiko has a floating white orb, a few eating utensils and what appears to be a pen on her tray. She sits down. Their the only two at the table. The table seems to not have legs*
Mira: Rough day?
Akiko: *During the following, she picks up the pen, aims the point at the orb and zaps it with the laser that comes out of the pen. The orb turns into a meal. The pen disintegrates* Since I got injected with that X-erum stuff, everybody's been avoiding me like H1N1 except for you.
Mira: Ah, their just jealous of you.
Akiko: Aren't YOU jealous?
Mira: I sometimes wish I was you, but hey.
Akiko: I wonder why I was selected because of my father?
Mira: Dunno, maybe it was just an idea.
Akiko: Could be...*Takes a bite out of her meal, chews and swallows* But it feels like there's more to it then that.
Mira: ...Ah, don't worry about it, answers down the road.
*An alarm goes off*
Akiko: What the Fentromai?
*A Drill Sargent barges into the Mess Hall*
Drill Sargent: ALL CADETS REPORT TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE CAMP! IF THERE IS A MS. YORAKASHA HERE, PLEASE REMAIN HERE FOR FURTHER ORDERS!
Mira: Well, see ya. *Leaves with the other cadets*
*The whole Mess Hall is cleared out. Akiko is left alone. The alarm stops. Charles enters from the opposite entrance and walks up to Akiko*
Charles: Hey.
Akiko: You shouldn't be here, there's a huge emergency.
Charles: What...? Oh that, I just had them do that so we can talk in private.
Akiko: Why?
Charles: I wanted to know how your training has been going, see what your personal interests are, that sort of thing. I know it seems strange, a grown-up in a suit wanting to talk to a teenager about these things? Unheard of. But this is the 85th Century and all, so-?
Akiko: No, why was my father the reason you chose ME for this experiment?
Charles: *Takes a seat across from Akiko* Is that all that's bothering you?
Akiko: That and everybody except for Mira is distant from me.
Charles: Ah, I see...*Adjusts his tie* Well, have you tried befriending a whole lot of them?
Akiko: Yes, but so far, as I said, only Mira accepts me for what I am.
Charles: Hmm...Picture the worst odor you ever smelled...Now picture it ten times worse...That's what jealousy is.
Akiko: What?
Charles: People who are jealous of you would say that you stink. That means they are jealous of you...Mostly, so they try to avoid you as much as possible. There are some who are allured by the stench of jealousy...But I'll share a secret with you...*Looks left to right, places the back of his right hand to his left cheek and leans forward* All the best people "stink". And that's not bad. As for the reason I chose you, it wasn't because of your father...
Akiko: Then why?
Charles: It was because you possess a special gene that your father didn't.
Akiko: Which is?
Charles: If I knew that, I would have to be female, now wouldn't I? *Stands up* You'll find out eventually. Until then, be strong. *Leaves*
*Fade out. Text that reads "Two years later..." is typed in at the bottom of the screen which disappears as we fade in to Akiko and Mira going through an obstacle course with many others. During the following, Akiko and Mira finish and are praised by their peers. One cadet is standing in the shadows watching them*
Akiko (Voice-Over): Since that talk, I kept on keeping on with my training. At my side as always was Mira. She was the only one able to keep up with my speed. More of the cadets have accepted me for what I've become...I say "More" because many who didn't accept me were alongside one man who had a sensitive nose...Or more specifically, BEAK to the odor of jealousy.
???: Bravo...Then again, what would you expect when you are given the power of an Anime superhero?
Akiko: What do you want, Gaizo?
Gaizo: Simple...*Steps into the light revealing himself to be a raven with an X-shaped scar on the center of the top of his beak* I want to prove once and for all that any cadet in this sorry excuse for a training camp is better then any juiced-up late-teen loser! To do such, I challenge you to a Shoukin Ken Bachi Chousen. It will be a dual of physical strength. *Pulls out a locket* If you win, I'll give you this locket. If you lose, you'll have to admit that you are inferior to all!
Akiko: Fine, if YOU win, I'll take back every last thing I've said about you since we've met. If you lose, you have to add MY time for cleaning the bathrooms to YOURS until we graduate to soldiers.
Gaizo: We meet at the training arena.
Akiko and Gaizo: HIKIAI! *Both of them walk away in separate directions*
Mira: Wait a minute...That's MY locket! *Runs after Akiko*
*That night, the two are preparing to enter the fight to the following*
Akiko (Voice-Over): A Shoukin Ken Bachi Chousen, or "Prize and Punishment Challenge" is a sport which consists of the two who partake to set themselves with the one of two prizes and the first half of a punishment. The challenger lays down what challenge it would be, be it physical or mental. The challenger also sets his or her first prize (Either a trinquet or the first part of the challengers punishment) and first half of their punishment. The challengee does the second half of both. The winner gets both prizes and the loser gets the punishment. Saying "Hikiai" or "Deal" seals the contract. Since the A.H era began, this has become an international way of settling a small dispute between two Ani-Sapiens.
Mira: Don't be TOO rough on him.
Akiko: Don't worry, I won't. *Walks into the arena*
*Cut over to Gaizo and a random vixen*
Vixen: Good luck, Gaizo-kun.
Gaizo: I don't need luck, I need to prove myself to be the superior warrior! *Enters the arena*
*Cut to a side view of the combatants. A male frog in with five-o-clock shadow stands in between them*
Refaree: Alright, I want a clean fight, no jewelry, no dirty tricks, no killing! Now shake on it!
*Akiko extends her hand to Gaizo who turns around*
Gaizo: I don't do hand shakes. *Walks over to his corner*
Akiko: Fine...*Walks over to her corner*
Refaree: Alright then...*Exits the arena* SAN, NII, ICHI, GO!
*Akiko and Gaizo begin their fight. Moments into the fight, Gaizo swings a punch at Akiko who he misses as she disappears*
Gaizo: Huh? *Looks up and sees Akiko flying. He proceeds with pointing to her* AHA! DIRTY TRICK!
Akiko: What? *Notices her new ability* Holy Kappa! *Tries to get down* AAH! WAAH! OH MAN! *Loses control and starts flying around*
Gaizo: HA! I WIN!
Refaree: I didn't say "No powers" so-
Gaizo: NO MATTER, I HAVE PROVEN THAT I AM MORE SUPERIOR TO HER OR ANY OF YOU WEAKLINGS! *The crowd gasps and glares at him* ...And what are you all staring at? *The vixen from before walks up to him making him start to regret his out-burst* Rinko, I-
Rinko: *Pops him in the head* IT'S TOO LATE, WE'RE THROUGH! *Walks away*
*The crowd goes into an uproar*
Gaizo: Uh...I...Oh great...
Refaree: AKIKO WINS BY DEFAULT!
Gaizo: WHAT!?
Cadet: LET'S TIE HIM TO THE CLIFF!
*Akiko crash lands into the crowd who grabs Gaizo and holds him over their heads. Things go into a stand-still at the following*
Edward: PROCKS!
*One month later, somewhere around summer, we see graduates of the camp. Fronk is speaking to the graduates. During the following, the camera cuts to a few people and stops with Akiko standing with Mira to her left and a humanoid Raptor to her right*
Akiko (Voice-over): A month after that dispute was graduation. The best of the best have been selected as the newest members of the army. Gaizo was held back for his little fowl-up. What's this? Oh, you may notice a few dinosaurs and robots through all this. Well, the event that wiped out the human race and transformed the Earth's fauna into humanoids called "Ani-Sapiens" also brought back many extinct species such as dinosaurs. These are called "Dino-Sapiens" There are seven categories of Ani-sapien in all (Nine if you count Dual-Sapiens and Meta-Sapiens). These categories are Mama-Sapiens, Repti-Sapiens, Amphi-Sapiens, Avia-Sapiens Molli-Sapiens, Arachni-Sapiens and of course, Dino-Sapiens. As for the robots, we've been on neutral grounds with them since World War MMXX.
Edward (Simultaneously, slightly faded during Akiko's speech): ...When you started here, you were mere procks, eager to get out into the world and represent Japan in this war. Now, all I see are soldiers ready for battle. Some of you may be on active duty right away, some of you may not, either-or, you represent our country with pride, honor and vigilance. Maraco Buccarel won't know what hit him. As the war rages on, our finest are out there right now defending our homeland from being invaded. Many other countries are also facing a similar ordeal where Buccarel is threatening THEIR homelands, none more then America. As of today, you are all soldiers. No longer do I see Cadettes. When you get out there, you represent Japan and all allied countries. I'm proud of you all. DIIIIS-MISSED!
*Everybody except for Akiko leave to see where they end up. Akiko walks up to Edward who climbs down from the stand, pulls a package out of her pocket and hands it to him*
Akiko: To "Sir" with love. Took me forever to find it, Gaizo hid it around the camp to get back at me for that incident with the fight.
Edward: ...*Opens the package*...The very kunai I lent your father...
Akiko: He wanted to return it to you...And he left me in charge of it...Before...*Starts to tear up*
Edward: *Wraps his arm around Akiko patting her on the arm* I know...I know...I miss him too.
Mira: *Enters the scene* I'd hate to break up this love fest, but I just found our names on the list.
Akiko: *Sniff* And?
Mira: Inactive Duty.
Akiko: What!?
Mira: I don't KNOW, it's weird, right? Being a super soldier, you'd think YOU'D get in the front lines!
*A robot mailman enters the scene*
Mailbot: Which one of you is Akiko Yorakasha?
Akiko: *Walks up to the Mailman* Speaking.
Mailbot: *Pulls out a green sweatband-like device* This is for you...*Hands her the device* Good day, madam. *Hovers away*
Akiko: *Places the device on her head and her eyes start to glow green*..."My darling daughter, congratulations on becoming a soldier. I wish you luck on your duties, but unfortunately, I fear that I won't be around to read about what's next for you because..." Oh no...
Mira: What's wrong?
Akiko: "I fear I wont be around to read about what's next for you because since you left for the boot camp, I've thought about your father to the point that I became so heart broken that...By the time you read this...*Sniff* I will have passed on. Don't be discouraged, for you still have Edward. He is to start his duties as your godfather as of now. I love you, Your Mother"...*Falls down to her knees and breaks into tears as the device disappears*
Edward: *Walks up to Akiko and pats her on the back* I wanted to tell you, but you were so happy about your graduation that I couldn't bring myself to do so.
Akiko (Still crying): *Sniff* When did it happen? *Sob*
Edward: Just last week.
Akiko: I just wish...*Sniff* I could have been with her in her final hours.
Edward: I know, but she's been proud of you for doing this. I wrote to her every week about your progress. I promise you I'll see you through this.
Mira: Hmm...*Snaps her fingers* Hey, I know, I'll move in with ya!
Akiko: You don't have to-
Mira: Don't worry about it, after I visit my folks and get my stuff packed as I planned, I can move in with you guys...That is, if you don't mind.
Edward: Hmm...I DO have two rooms available. Especially after my wife left me...How do you feel about abstract paintings?
This is where it ends. It was an unfinished script for a movie I pitched to Nickelodeon...Not even a response letter telling me they couldn't use it due to legal reasons.

The Pod That Started It All (Originally Published October 8th, 2012
________________________________________________________________________
*Fade in to the night sky. During the following, we scroll down to a college. The camera follows two girls. One, a vixen with magenta hair and medium purple eyes wearing a denim jacket, white t-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of blue shoes with ten green dots on each side of each. The other, a blonde, pink-eyed rabbit wearing a tie-dye belly shirt, brown shorts and cyan wrist bands and sandals. The rabbit's right ear is brown and drooped slightly. Both 20. A sign that reads "Angora Miyadro Memorial College" floats past them*
Akiko (Voice-Over): It's been 20 years since World War MMMMIV. After the war, I was relocated to New York City in America and had to start working as a house mother for the Lambda Iota Mu Epsilon Sorority (Or Limes) at the Angora Miyadro Memorial College (Or as the students and faculty call it, AMMC). The name was changed to honor my dear friend, Angora, rest her soul. I was given this job originally as a cover alone...But over the years, it's become more to me then that...
Girl 1 (Vixen): That was a crazy day...
Girl 2 (Rabbit, Brooklyn accent): You tink Ms. Nuki notices we're late again?
*The girls make it back to Lime house. The door opens to a silhouette of Akiko standing at the entrance catching both girls by surprise*
Girl 1: She noticed.
*Starting at her feet, we go to an up-scrolling close-up of 37-year-old Akiko with her signature hair-length wearing a pair of sleep pants and a t-shirt that reads "Banzai" on it*
Akiko: ...And just where have you two been tonight?
Girl 1: Abby and I were at the mall.
Abby (Girl 2): Molly got into a fight with a guy there and we had to high-jack the mall cop's car to get away from him and-
Molly (Girl 1): *Grabs Abby by the lips* Remember when I said "Let ME do the talking" when explaining why we're late?
Abby (Muffled): Sorry...
Molly: *Lets go of Abby's lips* But she pretty much summed it up.
Akiko: *Sigh* I'm just glad you two made it back here before lights out this time. Inside you two, march!
Molly and Abby: Yes ma'am...
*The two enter the house. During the following Fast forward to two minutes later. Molly and Abby are now in pajamas. They walk down a hall into a room with two other girls, both cats, one black, one white. The black cat is in a white, knee-high satin nightgown on the top bunk of the beds on the right and the white cat in a black one same length and material on the bottom*
Akiko (Voice-Over): I was also given the code name, Mochichi Nuki. The two girls here are Molina Anderson and her partner-in-crime, Abigail Hoppington. Known here in New York City as the Troublemaker Twosome. They were the ones who...I'm getting too far in, you'll have to watch and find out.
*Some hippy-like music starts to play*
Girl 1 (Black Cat): Well, well, well, got in trouble in town again?
Molly: I don't want to talk about it, Yang.
Girl 2 (White Cat): *Slumps over to the side of her bed* Oh, but you must. We LOOOOVE to hear about your little misadventures!
Yang: Now Sister Yin, if she doesn't want to talk about it, she doesn't want to talk about it...Althoooough they HAVE been VEEEERY naughty today...At least that's what the visor says.
Yin: Oh yes, Sister Yang, VEEEERY naughty indeed...
Abby: *Shutters* It's only da fifth night here, and I'm already gettin' indigestion bein' in da same room wit these two.
Molly: The Harmony Sisters ARE our biggest fans.
Yin: Oh...Sister Yang, Abby's tummy's upset.
Yang: I know how we can fix that, Sister Yin.
*The Harmony Sisters leave for the kitchen where Akiko is*
Akiko: And what are you two up to?
Yang: Sister Yin and I are mixing a special drink for Abby.
Yin: Her tummy is upset. We want to help her.
Akiko: Okay, but then it's lights out, got it? *Walks away*
Harmony Twins: Yes, Ms. Nuki! *They get started on what their doing*
*Cut to Akiko in her quarters covered up lying awake in her bed. The music changes to Koto music*
Akiko: ...Why can't I sleep...? Is it an omen...? If so, of what...? I just have to relax....*Closes her eyes*
*Fade out. Music stops. The next day, Molly and Abby are heading out*
Abby: So, what's on the agenda today?
Molly: I just thought we'd take some time to relax, give the city a break from our unintentionally destructive ways.
Akiko: *Comes up from behind the girls. She's now wearing a T-Shirt that reads "Eyes up here" under an Arrow that points to her head, bell-bottom jeans and purple, robot-like slip-on shoes* HOLD IT YOU TWO!
Molly and Abby: WAH!
Akiko: Remember our deal, where are you headed?
Molly: We were going to go to the outskirts of the city and hang out.
Akiko: Okay...Since it's Saturday, we're having a party to celebrate our first week with our new pledges...So don't be late for THAT, okay? *Walks into the house*
Abby: I hoid of dese tings, a lot of dem are usually to humiliate people like us.
Molly: Oh calm down. If it's anything like the initiation, just do what I did.
Abby: ...Use da bat before da glove?
Molly: Tough it out.
*Moments later, the two are lying on the grass by the hills looking at the clouds*
Akiko (Voice-Over): I knew that day would come...I only hoped the Troublemaker Twosome didn't have to be involved in it.
Abby: Dis is nice. Great idea, Molly. It's nice to get outta the big city once in a while.
Molly: Yeah...*Notices a strange shadow draping over her and Abby* Hmm?
Abby: What's dat?
*Cut to Molly's view. A strange missile-like object is seen in the air*
Molly: Ugh, my dad probably sent another Deliveroid to deliver something to me. I'll just have to sign the slab and- *The object starts to lose altitude and fall toward the girls. Cut back to them* Uh-oh...THAT'S NOT A DELIVEROID! LOOK OUT!
*Both girls jump away as the object crashes down to where they were. They start going toward the object which cools down. A red light is flashing*
Abby: *Takes a good look at the object* Whadaya make of it?
Molly: I don't know...
Abby: Hmm...*GASP!* WHAT IF IT'S DAT SPORE CONTAINER FROM I WAS A TEENAGE SLAVE!? *Cringes*
Molly: I...Think it's more like a...Stasis Pod...
Abby: What's dat weird light?
Molly: I don't know...Let's dig it out.
*The girls dig out the pod and sit it down. The pod seems to have a red-flashing pyramid-like device on the side dug out*
Abby: ...A Video Gram...And somebody recorded on it...
Molly: We're one step closer to unraveling this mystery. *Touches the tip of the Video Gram. A small section on top of it flashes blue making a blip*
Voice: The information on this Video Gram is only authorized for *Switches to Akiko's Voice* Akiko Yorakasha.
Abby: What in da woi-? Dat sounded like Ms. Nuki!
Molly: What could that mean?
Abby: *Looks up* Oh great, meathead at 3:00!
*A male, muscular, long, white-haired, green-eyed wolf with a spiky goatee wearing jeans, flashing red and yellow shoes and a red, white-sleeved, white-aligned Frat jacket that has Mu Alpha and Nu stitched in on the right enters the scene. Some slick music starts to play*
Guy: Molly, how's my favorite girl?
Molly: Terrance "The Meathead" Jorden, surprised you got into AMMC.
Terry: C'mon, baby. It's me we're talkin' about, you know me...
Molly: ...You got a Battle Ball scholarship, didn't you?
Terry: ...*Slumps down* Yes...*Picks himself up* So what are you two doin'?
*The music changes to straining music*
Abby: We found dis weird Stasis Pod ting.
Molly: More like, it found us.
Terry: What's inside?
Abby: We were just about to find dat out now.
Molly: No we weren't.
Abby: Aw, why not!?
Molly: There's something weird going on here, and I'm planning to figure it out too.
Terry: Then if we're not gonna crack this thing open, what ARE we gonna do with it?
Molly: You're strong, pick it up and follow us. *Walks off with Abby*
*Terry picks up the pod and follows the girls. Moments later, they make it back to the house. The door opens after Molly knocks. Akiko exits*
Akiko: That didn't take lon- *Notices the pod* I don't believe it...
Molly: Alright, this thing said you were Akiko Yorakasha! What's going on here? What's in this thing...? Or more logically, who?
Akiko: ...*Sigh* All in due time...For now, set that into my quarters.
Terry: Can do. *Walks in*
Abby: So all dis time, you were some retired soldier? Why didn't you say anyting?
Akiko: Again, all in due time. *Reenters the house*
*The music changes to brief steel pan drum music*
Abby: Well...Since we already started someting, wanna go get a boiger?
Molly: ...Eh, why not?
*Fast-foward to an hour where we find the girls at a burger joint*
Abby: ...All I'm sayin' is the Visor's waitin' for us to do somethin' to add it into their "They're at it again" segment. A lot of people are gonna be upset about not finding it tomarrow. *Takes a bite of her burger* So, whadaya tink's in dat pod? Ya tink "Ms. Nuki" is woiking undercover as a super agent and inside dat pod is a space alien held prisoner for a heinous crime?
Molly: Hmm...Actually, I've heard rumors of the head of military weapons and System-wide benefits company, Lupington Enterprises made a super weapon that would become the System's last hope. The pod we gave "Ms. Nuki" must be this very weapon. The question remains...What does he, she or it look like?
Abby: *Gulp* Hmm, if it's an actual weapon, it could be like a blaster hat shoots sword-shaped lazers like in Space Knights. If it's a goil, I bet she's one of dem psycho Kelfmars* like in Attack of the Psycho Virus. If a guy, I hope he looks like Maxwell Koon, his role as Kempor on Journey to the Dragon was pure poetry!
*Insult word.
Molly: Everything's about Si-Fi, Fantacy or Horror with you, why is that?
Abby: My dad's a noid, remember? Some of his noidiness rubbed off on me.
*A male duck wearing a futuristic cop outfit rides in on a spherical bike. Cue a comedic-sounding mix of hip-hop and techno*
Police Man (Irish accent): Afternoon lasses. Any trouble I have to get on ya about today? Yesterday was the mall incident, let's see if you can top that.
Molly: THAT GUY STARTED IT...! And no, nothing today. We're pretty much trying to stay out of trouble today.
Daun: You had better, because Officer Shamus Daun* will bust ya if ya do.
*Pronounced "Down"
Molly: We'll be aware of that.
*Officer Daun leaves. A beeping noise is heard*
Abby: *Pulls what appears to be a compact out of her back pocket and listens to it*...I tink dat's you.
Molly: Aw, you got the new P7000 Delta?
Abby: You still got yer I300 Pi, dontcha?
Molly: I had to keep dipping into my fund to help out with a few problems my father had. The time we hit that magnet on the drive back from Michigan and the time he broke his leg. He says he'd make it up to me somehow, but I'm still waiting for him to-
Abby: You gonna answer dat?
Woman behind Molly: Madam, answer your phone or turn it off!
Woman's husband (Simultaneously): LADY, YOU'RE KILLING US HERE!
Molly: *Pulls out a flat, twinkle-shaped model of what Abby has* Sorry. *Opens the phone and pulls the two halves apart revealing a black bar. She bends the bar and places the phone's halves on the sides of her head* Activate. *Two triangular speaker-like devices pop out of the bar's sides and plug her ears another set of black bars from the bottom of both halves connect to each other under her lips. A small camera-like device opens at the center of the top bar* Begin call.
Electronic Voice: Call begun.
Molly: Talk to me. *Akiko appears on a holographic screen. She seems to have don a similar thing with the phone at Lime House* Ms. Nuki?
Akiko: Girls, get back here quick. And bring Terry, this concerns him too! End call. *The monitor disappears*
Electronic Voice: Call ended.
Molly: Deactivate. *The phone goes back to it's normal state. She takes the phone off, unbends the bar, puts the halves back together, closes it and puts it back into her pocket* Let's roll!
*Moments later, our heroes are seen at the door of Lime House*
Terry: What's this all about?
Molly: I don't know, but Ms. Nuki told us to bring you.
Abby: Well, let's go in!
*Molly opens the door. They enter the house*
Molly: Ms. Nuki?
Akiko (Heard coming from her quarters): Ten years...
Abby: Huh?
*During the following, the trio slowly approaches the door*
Akiko: Ten years since that day...If it weren't for the decision to put you in that long into hypersleep to addapt to the X-erum you were injected with, I could have watched you grow from the little girl I saw you as to the young lady contained in this Stasis Pod.
Abby (Whispering): Psycho Kelfmar, I just know it!
Akiko: I can hear you! And who are you calling a psycho Kelfmar, missy!?
Abby (So quiet that Akiko couldn't possibly hear her): Geez Louise, how good is your hearing?
Akiko: Good enough to hear a Genkama sneeze in Switzerland. Now get in here!
Molly: *Opens the door and enters with Abby and Terry. They see Akiko sitting in front of the Stasis Pod and sit around it* So what was that you were saying earlier, Ms. Nuki...? If that IS your real name!
Akiko: *Sigh* I guess I can't keep it a secret from you guys forever. My real name is Akiko Yorakasha.
Molly: The legendary war hero of World War MMMMIV who went missing...Or so the visors say...
*There's that straining music again*
Akiko: "So the visors say" is correct. What I'm about to tell you three, you must swear not to tell just anyone or else the System's greatest secret will be compromised further then it has been now.
Molly: I swear.
Abby: Okay.
Terry: Sure, why not?
*Visuals of the following start*
Akiko: Good...Ten years after the war, there was peace on Terra* once again. While many relaxed and started families during peace-times, Lupington Enterprises' founder, Charles Lupington, the government and the military were concerned that a new threat might brew in the future, so Lupington requested enough money to fund the creation of an X-erum good enough to create the most powerful super soldier in the entire System. Under the name, "Project Wildcat", such an X-erum was created by the late Professor Gregory Baxter and his son, Arnold.
*Earth's name in the show.
Molly: Wait, you mean the renowned supergenius gone missing, Arnold Baxter?
Akiko: Yes. Before the X-erum was created, it was confirmed that not just anyone can intake such a powerful X-erum, so they needed the right type of person to inject it with. They unexpectedly settled on a six-year-old Parmo Parmo patient under Lupington's care named Claudia Miyadro.
Abby: I had Parmo Parmo once, my body kept freezing up at da least convenient of times. You remember dat, Molly? Woist date ever, lemme tell ya-
Akiko: Later. Prior to an OFFICIAL selection, the patient's medicine and the X-erum got mixed up on delivery to different destinations. Upon discovering the mix-up, it was too late. She had been injected with the X-erum meant for a different candidate by mistake...Or perhaps fate. She was revealed to be a more likely candidate for the X-erum. After the injection, it was revealed that not only did this cure her Parmo Parmo, but it made her immune to any known disease or physical harm (Though she can still feel pain, just not as much as a regular Ani-Sapien would) along with other alterations. Among these were changing the color of her fur, hair and eyes, increasing her intelligence, strength, flexibility, agility and speed tenfold from where they were before, transforming her feet into four-toed paw-like ones big enough to prevent her from wearing any type of footwear, mildly swollen hands, generally giving her a slightly cartoonish appearance and adding a trait to her personality being that of a primitive cat.
Terry: So she's likely to play with bugs, yarn or stuff that dangles like bells, fuzzy things and that?
Akiko: Undoubtedly.
Molly: So why is she in this Stasis Pod?
Akiko: Her abilities were good, but her power seemed unstable to the physicians so they placed her in this stasis pod until she grew into her "new" body. For safety reasons, she was placed in a special area in the Neptunite President's home until she was needed. I only hoped it wouldn't have been so soon. Bright side being that she's stable now according to the readings on here.
*Visuals and music end here returning back to our heroes*
Terry: That would explain why I haven't seen this thing before, I was kicked out of Neptune.
Akiko: Even then you wouldn't have known about it. As I said before, the whole operation was kept under lock-and-key. You three basically picked that lock. One thing that baffles me further is why it didn't come directly to me when it was launched out of Neptune. More importantly...*Looks at Molly* YOU seem to have a bit of a cartoonish look yourself...
Molly: Yeah? So do you!
*There's that steel pan drum again*
Terry: Isn't this whole THING a cartoon?
Molly, Abby and Akiko (In a "No dip, Captain Obvious" manner): *They all look at Terry* Shut up!
*Cut to the exterior of Lime House. Our heroes exit. Terry is carrying the pod*
Molly: So what's the plan right now?
Akiko: We need to get her to a disclosed location as discretely as possible. If she was sent back here, it means something happened and I don't want anybody to panic over the whole thing.
Molly: What's on the Video Gram?
Akiko: *Looks back at the pod* Video Gram? *Terry puts the pod down and hands her the Video Gram* Oh, I haven't even noticed that-
*A marching sound is heard. Our heroes take a look and see an army of humanoid robots followed by one of several male and female Ani-Sapiens in henchmen-like outfits*
Terry: ...It's Neptune all over again...
Akiko: You three know how to fight, right?
Abby: Yeah, me an Molly took up Karate in High School!
Terry: Do I know how to-? HA! They don't call me Terry the Tusseler for nothing!
Molly: Who calls you that?
Terry: People down in Queens.
*A robot walks out in front of the army*
Robot: The contents of that Stasis Pod is property future System ruler, Orson Anderson!
Molly: WHAT...!? Orson...?
Abby: Can't be...
Akiko: What?
Terry: Who's this Orson chump, a cousin of yours?
Molly: Worse...He's my twin brother...
??? (Possibly Orson): The half that the whole System forgot...
*Another robot flies in. It seems to be taller then the other robots, wearing a suit and has a fox-like head and a metal fox tail-like structure where your average tail would go. The other robot steps back into it's spot in the formation. The current robot walks up to our heroes. A 3D hologram of who appears to be a male version of Molly with dark purple, short, spiky hair wearing a grey suit comes out of the robot's forehead*
Molly: Orson!
Terry: *Sits on the pod* What's with the Robody?
Orson (The robot follows his motions): I developed a case of Agoraphobia.
Terry: Ah...
Akiko: This must be the danger...Why do you want this Stasis Pod?
Orson: It's content is the key to System conquest! The most powerful weapon in the System, and I want it!
Akiko: Gimme-gimme, never get! Besides, she's too smart to be tricked by some green-horn criminal!
Orson: I assure you, I was green four years ago.
Akiko: Wait...Orson...I recognize you now, you're the tyrant mayor of Los Angeles!
Terry: ...You took over an entire city at 16?
Orson: I started out small of course, but I took over at the age of 18. It's simple really, they do as I say, they can go on with their lives.
Terry: You made LA a less enjoyable place!
Orson: ...Do I know you...Or should I even care...? Oh wait, NOW I remember, you're the one who caused the Neptune Incident of 8514, right? I read about you in the Visor that day. I'm surprised they let you stay here on Terra.
Terry: I was only banned from setting foot on Neptune...At least for another week by this time.
Orson: Huh...Look at you...*Walks up to Terry followed by the Robody* Someone capable of causing such carnage...Reduced to a meatheaded Candy-Tail...If we met under different circumstances, I would have jumped to the chance to have you join me. *Holds out his hand* The offer still stands, what do you say?
Terry: ...Okay, first of all, I'm NOT a Candy-Tail, second, I would never Join you, third, the whole thing was an accident and fourth and most importantly of all, NOBODY, BUT NOBODY USES THE WORD "MEATHEAD" TO INSULT ME AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! *Punches the hologram in the face as Orson puts his hands behind his back* Crud, I forgot you're not actually here. Those holograms are really convincing...Although...*Walks up to the Robody* I can take this Robody offline! *Gets ready to punch the Robody before Orson grabs him and spins him around* WHA-AH-AH-AH-AHO! *Orson slams him down to the concrete path* OOF! Ow...
Orson: *The Robody's right-hand fingers transform into missiles and he aims them at Terry. The hologram disappears* Need a hand?
Akiko: He's piloting an F-Class X-0934 unit Robody!
Abby: And apparently he knows Karate too.
Terry: Dang...
Orson: ...*Looks at the army* Get that Stasis Pod!
*The army charges at our heroes who fight them off as Terry is left fighting Orson's Robody. Cut to the girls*
Abby: *The following is said as she's kicking a few robots and henchmen* HIYA! HIYA! HIYA! HIYA! *Stops for a second* Man, this Project Wildcat ting must be important! *Punches a robot*
Akiko: There are enemies of the System's government who would give their own tails just to even so much as LEARN about her existence! *Grabs two henchmen and spins toward a cluster of enemies*
Molly: We can't take them all, we gotta do something!
Terry: I'M ON IT! *Runs over to the pod and presses a button*
A.I: Releasing content. Thank you for choosing Lupington Enterprises for your storage needs.
*The area is engulfed in mist. The only thing that can be seen are silhouettes of everybody. From the Pod emerges who is possibly Claudia. Some soft Native American music plays in the background*
Orson: YOU FOOL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?
Akiko: I think he just sealed your fate.
Claudia (Child-like voice): *YAAAAWN!* Where am I?
Terry: You're in New York City of the year 8524!
Claudia: ...So it's been 10 years...*Her eyes start glowing Spring-Green. Cut to her view. She looks at Akiko, Molly and Abby who are seen clear as a bell*...Auntie Akiko?
Abby: AUNTIE Akiko? I tought she was a cat?
Akiko: I'm her godmother.
Molly: ...*Sigh* Yeah, a word of warning when it comes to putting two and two together, if she were a flower in photosynthesis, she'd be a late bloomer.
Orson: *The Robody gets ready to attack Akiko* ENOUGH! So what if she's your goddaughter? She's coming with me!
*Cut back to regular vision. Claudia (Her eyes still glowing) runs up to the Robody and grabs it by the arm. The music changes to pop/soul*
Claudia: You will not attack Auntie Akiko! *Slams the robot onto the ground destroying it. She proceeds with attacking the troops. The ones she didn't attack run off taking the beaten ones with them out of fear. The music ends. She shivers. Her eyes stop glowing* Ooh, my body's starting to re-adapt to the atmosphere. *Cut back to her view*
Akiko: ...Maybe now would be a good time to get you inside before the mist clears.
Molly: Why, does this still have to be hush-hush?
Akiko: I'll take care of the necessary beamwork to make her a citizen, but the real reason is...Well, the one-size-fits-all technology of today wasn't around at the time, so...*The mist starts to clear a little to see our heroes a little blurry. Terry, Molly and Abby look at Claudia at mild shock*...She had to disrobe before entering the Stasis Pod.
*Claudia turns her head (The shot still in her view) and sees Officer Daun*
Daun: Eh? Oh, for the love of pete! *Pulls out a collar and a belt. He places them on Claudia* There. *Cut to a view of him and Claudia who happens to be a 16 year-old, pink-fured, blue-haired spring-green-eyed cat as described by Akiko. The collar and belt emit black holographic lights in the shape of censor bars on her no-no regions (Let's call them). As he speaks, Claudia looks down at the bars and back at him* Now if you're going to be walking around like that, you gotta wear the proper accessories. Nothing personal, but it's the law in dignified areas such as this.
Claudia: Thank you, officer.
Daun: Of course...*Looks at Molly and Abby* Well, if it ain't me two favorite troublemakers. Care to explain this mess?
Molly: Well-
Akiko: The Drama Club was disturbing the peace and I took down their props during that mysterious fog. Sorry.
Daun: ...Well, glad you're a concerned citizen, ma'am. Carry on. *Leaves*
Terry: ...Uh, what was that all abou-?
Akiko: Let's just get her inside.
*Moments after getting inside, our heroes are sitting around. Claudia is standing and wearing a purple Snuggie-like garment covering her body. The belt and collar she was wearing before are sitting beside her*
Molly: There, that'll have to work until we can get you some actual clothes.
Terry: ...Oh, I got some from this one guy when I passed evaluation to Man House. I'll be right back. *Leaves*
Abby: ...So, I hoid you had Parmo Parmo before you became...This?
Claudia: I did. I got it from the sweat on a piece of rabbit fur.
Akiko: Really...That's very convenient. Abby, why don't you finish your story?
Abby: *Mutters "It couldn't have traveled DAT far, could it?" under her breath* I-I mean- aw forget it, I was also sheading my winter coat at dat time. It might have been a patch dat flew to where you were...And kinda gave you Parmo Parmo...And...Yeah, it's improbable, but that might be how you were caught in...I'm sorry...If it WERE mine.
Claudia: Well, it might have been...You see, *Insert probability explanation here* So it's possible that it may have traveled...It was MY fault for inhaling it in.
Abby: ...O...Kaaaay
Akiko: ...*Notices Molly deep in thought* What's up? You haven't said a dog-gone thing since "There, that'll have to work until we can get you some actual clothes"
Molly: Huh? Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about what we're supposed to do. Orson wants to take over the entire System!
Akiko: Not just him as of late. There are many others who seek the same goal. Project Wildcat was created for such a purpose. To prevent the System from being taken over by maniacs such as Orson.
*Terry returns with a red cotton t-shirt and a pair of darker-red silk pants and a white ball-like device*
Terry: Okay, I'm back. *Hands the clothes to Claudia* It doesn't include footwear, sorry.
Claudia: Oh that's all right, I'm comfortable without anyway. *Walks off to get changed*
Terry: ...Nice girl for a weapon.
Claudia (Off-screen): I don't like being called a weapon.
Terry: Sorry! So what are we planning to do when that agoraphobic jerk sends another one of those armies?
Akiko: The most we CAN do for now is pray it doesn't happen too soon. I intend to show the Video Gram when she gets back so we can figure that out. If it tells what I think it's going to, then he's probably created his own line of Meta-Sapiens to try and realize his goals...Or in the case at hand, try to defeat her.
Terry: ...Heavy...Well if worse comes to worse, I volunteer to assist her in any way.
Molly: What, you want to be her sidekick?
Terry: Yeah, I'll be the Stellar Girl to her Starry Knight...Except...That would be totally weird...Probably should have said Stellar GUY...Then again, that would be weird too...You get what I'm saying?
Akiko: Yes, and that's very noble of you.
Abby: So what's left for me and Molly if he's gonna be watchin' her?
Akiko: The two of you will contribute to the team based on your special skills.
Molly: I'm good with computers.
Abby: And I can disguise myself as anybody wit da help of a cos-collar. What are YOU gonna do?
Akiko: As a veteran of World War MMMMIV, an expert in Military affairs AND your House Mother, I appoint myself as the leader of the team.
Terry: Then what's CLAUDIA'S role?
Akiko: The most important one of all, the key to a brighter future for the System.
Claudia: *Returns wearing the outfit (The ball device was underwear by the way) holding the garment she was wearing* Sorry I took so long, I had everything backwards...*Looks at the garment and tries to hand it to Molly* Here, I think this is yours.
Molly: Keep it, I had two.
Claudia: Oh...Thank you...
Akiko: Now that everybody's here, let's play this Video Gram. *Presses the top of the Video Gram*
*The Video Gram plays an image of a badly-beaten, elderly Charles Lupington in a flame-engulfed room. Sirens are heard in the background. Sad piano music is heard through the following*
Charles: Akiko...If you're watching this, it means the worst has happened! Governor Anderson has gone power-mad and taken over Lupington Enterprises. Twelve of his followers have taken the X-erums that were recently created for the new line of Meta-Sapiens. I don't know what's going on, but it's not good. He's done away with Gregory, I have no idea what happened Arnold. Remember, I've scattered the LUPTN Line in New York City. I've warned the Neptunite president of the situation and he agreed to send Claudia to you. Make sure you take good care of her...Heh, you've grown so much...Remember me fondly. And Claudia, if you're watching this...I'm sorry...
*A mysterious figure is seen in Charles' background*
???: There you are...
*The video and music stop here. Claudia walks over to Akiko*
Akiko: And that's all she wrote...
Terry: ...Wait, if you're her godmother, why was she under HIS care?
Akiko: I was still active in duty at the time, so I needed somebody to watch her for me while I went out on my missions. Lupington agreed to this...But now, I plan to spend as much time with her as possible and have a little time for her be the child she never was...It's unknown what will happen next, so for now, let's relax and unwind for the day.
Claudia: I've missed you, Auntie Akiko. *Hugs Akiko*
Akiko: And I, you, Claudia...*Close-up on both. A tear runs down her face in happiness* And I, you.
*Fade out*

Call Me Trafic Jammer (Originally Published February 21st, 2014)
______________________
*Text in the center of the screen reads the following*
A.I: Report file playing now.
*Fade in to the exterior of Lime House. At the following, we cut to the interior. Akiko and Molly are playing cards*
Akiko (Voice-Over): It was three days after Orson's last attack. Things were calm for a while. After Claudia was awaken, the dean of AMMC wanted to enroll her into the school itself. After seeing that she was too smart for it, he just switched the offer to having her live on campus. When you're a 16-year-old girl who has been isolated for most of her life, you apparently develope a desire for adventure.
Claudia (Off-screen, whining): AUNTIE AKIKOOOOO! I'M BOOOOOORED!
Akiko: *Sigh* Then why don't you go outside and play?
Claudia: Everybody stares at me! It makes me uncomfortable...
Akiko: What if Terry hangs out with you?
*Terry opens the door*
Terry: Hey guys, is Claudia here? I think I found something that might interest her.
Akiko: Well speak of the devil.
Claudia: *Steps into view* What is it?
Terry: It's this new place that opened up in Queens today!
Claudia: ...I guess I'll go...Is it that recreational center I've heard about?
Molly (Sounding a bit excited): Recreation Madness? *Stands up* I've been waiting for that place to open since it was built!
Akiko: Sounds interesting, I'll join you guys. *The sound of various crashes and Abby Yelping are heard* ...Just as soon as I dig Abby out of the First-Aid supplies...Again.
Abby (Off-Screen): ...I taste cherry in my mout.
*Moments after digging Abby out of the First Aid supplies, our heroes are seen in a red, spherical hover car. Cut to the interior of the car (Which is roomier then it looks) after the following*
Akiko (Voice-over): Since we hadn't heard anything about anything unusual, we decided to get as much downtime as possible. We had only begun with the impending crisis, but with Claudia's needs, it was only fair that she took the time to be the child she never was.
Abby: I mean, it's not my fault that da bandages were put in da bottom of da ting...When we get back, I'm fixing dat ting to make it woik so I know what's where!
Molly: I'll help you, I don't want a repeat of the "Running of the Brakario" Incident in Kinosha.
Abby: One time, okay? One time.
Claudia: I just hope nobody stares at me.
Terry: You just tell me how they're staring at you and I'll determine how to handle it!
Claudia: Okay...How much farther?
Terry: Not TOO much, just have to make it past this traffic and we'll be there in no time.
________________________________________________________________________
At this point, they would have encountered a massive traffic jam (I'm talking borderline "What is going ON up there!?" bad!) and we'd meet our first major antagonist, Traffic Jammer (Jammer's male prototype) who challenges our eponymous heroine to a race around the state and back (If she lost, she had to come with him). He is constantly, unintentionally thwarted by his bungling twin brother, Catch who was meant to capture Claudia anyway. Afterwards, they (Like their modern-day counterparts), would go on to be the Scratch and Grounder/Sleet and Dingo/Klump and Krusha/(You get the idea) of the series. The series itself would go into a villain of the week formula.
________________________________________________________________________
This next one would be at the climax of the season finale. It would be where Claudia discovers that Molly and the Starry Knight are one and the same.
________________________________________________________________________
*A flashback of Molina's past begins. The text at the bottom reads "September 9, 8516" and disappears. The following describes the flashback*
Molina (Voice-Over): It was 10 years ago on the possibly days before you were put into hyper-sleep. My mother was fed up with how my father treated Orson, so they got the aforementioned divorce. The only thing my father didn't mention is that the house he bought was in Mixtrak where I met Abby. We've been friends since and would do almost everything together. Since the divorce, Orson had tried to gain my father's appreciation which he's yet to have done. When three days of this passed, my mother died of a broken heart which my father blames Orson for. Because of that, we missed her funeral. He didn't even bother to take him in, leaving him with his godparents. Ten years and several bad guys later, here we are.
*End flashback*
Claudia: Aw...Why is your father such a meanie?
Molina: It's not entirely his fault, my father's just broken up about losing his original favorite, my older brother Tom in a cut-laser accident one summer at our lake-house. He's blamed Orson for it since he was the only other one there. Orson tried to speak his piece, but he wouldn't hear it...Anymore questions?
______________________________________________________________________
This next section is a series of intros that would have followed. This first one was for the first season being introduced by Claudia recapping the backstory before the events of the series.
______________________________________________________________________
In the year 2526, a phenomenon known only as the Great Farewell wiped out all the humans and transformed Terra's fauna into beings known as Ani-Sapiens. For 6000 years, the Ani-Sapiens adjusted to their new way of life. Before the present day, a dispute known as World War MMMMIV was started and was ended by the first Meta-Sapien, Akiko Yorakasha. After such, 20 years of peace rained throughout Terra as well as the rest of the System. *Pause to hear some of the theme music* On the 20th year, I, Claudia Miyadro was sent back to Terra to stop Orson Anderson who had taken over Lupington Enterprises. Now with my friends, I vow to end his plans for world conquest once and for all!
__________________________________________________________________________
This one consists of Orson (His crybaby beta counterpart) telling his story leading up to the events of the second season starting from World War MMMMIV. Replacing the previous intro, it partially contradicts the pilot's depiction of where Claudia was being stored prior to the events that took place (i.e, She was placed on the sun rather than Neptune).
__________________________________________________________________________
World War MMMMIV, the one that started it all. A substance called the X-erum was given to Japanese soldier, Akiko Yorakasha that transformed her into a Super Soldier called a Meta-Sapien. 15 years later, I was on a field trip to Lupington Enterprises, a laboratory dedicated to the greater good of mankind. That's where I made my plans rule the world. At age 20, I got a job as a janitor there which didn't last long after I unleashed a "Failed" experiment on the previous owner Charles Lupington. *Pause to hear the theme music* After my complete take-over, Lupington's most powerful super soldier, Claudia Miyadro, Code Name, Project Wildcat was launched down from the sun to New York City here on Terra where my sister and her friends found her. She now seeks to foil my plans.
__________________________________________________________________________
This one was when I was watching MST3K clips and thought of what it would be like if the PWC crew was a part of it...Before I learned later in life that it was legally impossible.
________________________________________________________________________
In the way, way distant future, 8526. Our heroes go on an archaeology site and get into the mix. Terry found a giant metal bone, he checked it out but not a-lone, he found out that it was an old space-ship, he shot it into space, now their goin' on a triiiip! (WAIT, WHERE'S CLAUDIAAAAA!?) "I'll send you ancient videos, (Ooh, ooh, ooh!) the strangest I can find. (La-la-la!) You'll have to sit and watch them all (Ooh, ooh, ooh!) and I'll monitor YOUR mind!" (La-la-la!) Now keep in mind, Terry can't control (Ooh, ooh, ooh!) where the collections begin or end, (La-la-la!) 'cause the first guy on the ship used those parts, to make his ro-bot friends! Crew-mate Role-call! Molly, Abby, Hunter, GOOON-GO! If you're wondering how they eat or breath (Ooh, ooh, ooh!) Or other science facts, (La-la-la!) then repeat to yourself It's just a car-toon, I should rea-lly just re-lax! "Akiko: We've got to get them back!" For Project Wild-cat Seeea-son threeeeee!
_______________________________________________________________________
This last section is just names of episodes I never got around to writing scripts for as well as the premises.
________________________________________________________________________
Season 1:
Episode 1: Call me Traffic Jammer (See part 1 of these)
Episode 2: The art of a reputation: In this episode, we meet our first (Non-frequent) antagonist, Pierre "Artisan" Peintre, a Palletakinetic desecrated artist bitter at the world. The main plot of the episode was that the gang was trying to get Claudia noticed as the heroine she is.
Episode 3: Gumming up what works: The main story was going to be that after Claudia's victory over Artisan, the mayor decided to throw a fair in her honor for proving herself as someone willing to protect the town...Then in walks A.B Cecena, an Arachni-Sapien and former top-chart pop star who fell from fame after a breakdown with the power to shoot bubblegum-like webbing stopping the machinery in the city and Claudia is pressured to stop her because she doesn't want to disappoint anyone.
Episode 4: The Beast is my friend: Wanting to get rid of Claudia, Mindy makes Claudia go into the forest of Central Park to find "The Beast", a "Monster" who controls the forest's flora and fauna. The alleged Beast of Central Park turns out to be none other than Maple Shanghai, one of many Meta-Sapiens that were injected with the X-erum before Orson's hostile takeover.
Episode 5: My best friend's an Alley Cat: After Claudia is framed by a robotic doppelganger, she meets a new friend, an Alley Cat named Anita "Mittens" Malone who introduces her to the alley cat community before her big public fight with her double clears her name. She would then-on occasionally visit her.
Episode 6: The Pond-Dweller's assistant: A wrestler kicked out of the sport is injected with the Project Pondscum X-Erum which gives him the ability to jump higher then a normal frog and breathe underwater and Claudia and the gang just happen to be on a camping trip.
Episode 7: Claudia's rockin' shockin' Birthday: Claudia's 17th birthday is interrupted by a pair of Meta-Sapiens (An ex-construction worker and ex-electrician respectively) who are sent as a team to destroy her, which of course fails.
Episode 8: Meet the Trotters: Baxter's debut episode. He was a member of a trio known as the New York Trotters who travel the state fighting evil...Which was my original intent...But then I started expanding on Baxter and he went from shifty vagabond of the Trotters to the guy who created Formula X.
Episode 9: When did YOU become a Meta-Sapien?: Claudia and the gang take advantage of the downtime to go to the beach. At this point, Orson starts to get desperate and takes just about anybody. In this case, a corrupt lifeguard given Aquakinesis. This is the episode that would reveal that Akiko is the titular character of a movie, the script of which I sent to Nickelodeon once, but nobody called me about it-! Sorry, sometimes it's hard for me to let go of such things for too long.
Episode 10: Who's your Bio-Daddy?: The search for Claudia's father is on. When they find him, he assists them in fighting Catch, Jammer and their new boss, Orson's partner who had been injected with a prototype of Project Wildcat, Sado (A.K.A, "Coolcat") only to be killed in the process which puts Claudia into a funk for the next episode.
Episode 11: Fight on the Net!: When Claudia goes into a deep depression about losing BOTH her parents, the others try to cheer her up by introducing her and the viewers to how the internet (Interzone) works in the Project Wild Cat Universe. There, she comes across Akiko's brother under the name Project Virus who feels she must "Pay for the sins of the father" After the battle, she finds the courage to press on and returns to her usual cheery self.
Episode 12: Battle on the Brooklyn Bridge: Sado, Catch and Jammer take over the Brooklyn Bridge and set up the events for the season finale.
Episode 13: Secrets of the Starry Knight: I think I managed to dig up some of the story about this one, so here goes. Orson, attempting to conqueror his Agoraphobia out of desperation, throws a hissy fit and sends every antagonist from the season (Except for "Claudroid" who had since then, joined Claudia's side) to terrorize the city while he destroyed it in a giant mecha in his likeness. Then Molly tells her story, Claudia defeats Orson, he gets thrown into the nuthouse, end of season.
Season 2:
Episode 14: Which switch is which?: Courtney T'Kayo's debut episode and the season premiere. Basically your standard body-switch episode. Claudia meets Courtney, a wheelchair-bound kangaroo Claudia's age (The only other teen in the main cast in this draft other than Hunter/Gordon) who could only communicate with a special device and cannot move her body. It is revealed that her jealous evil twin sister, Lolita stole her body after tricking her into demonstrating her powers when she was selected for the Meta-Sapien program and was responsible for her vegetable state. Eventually, Claudia (In TJ's body) beats her in a boxing match and tricks her into returning Courtney's body and trapping her in her own in the hopes that she would not be any further trouble.
___________________________________________
This was just a little song I wrote that would've been an episode of the comic phase. It was to be the team (Consisting of Molly, Abby, Terry and Akiko at the first two incarnations) going through lengths to set up a birthday party for Claudia who had missed a decade's worth of them.
___________________________________________
Molly: Now, molly had a plan one fateful day. She wanted to throw Claudia a party for 10 missed birthdays. She sent her to the arcade so she could plan in style. A tillion currectrons worth should do the trick for a while, but then Claudia came back in an hour or so, Claudia came back, she thought that'd keep her busy, but Claudia came back, how could her plan faiil sooo-whoooa-whoooa-whoooa?
Reason: The arcade closed.
Abby: Abby was next to make up for this up-slip, so she took Claudia on an all-day fishing trip. The boat, it had a hole in the floor, stuck on a land patch should do the thing for sure, but then Claudia came back in an hour or so, Claudia came back, she thought that'd keep her busy, but Claudia came back, how could her plan faiil sooo-whoooa-whoooa-whoooa?
Reason: Abby took too long to get help so she swam to shore.
Terry: The last to try something was TJ, he had tickets for jet basketing that expire after today. He got lost in the forest when the basket went berserk, but not before hitting a nearby soda jerk, but then Claudia came back in an hour or so, Claudia came back, he thought that'd keep her busy, but Claudia came back, how could his plan faiil sooo-whoooa-whoooa-whoooa?
Reason: She was waiting for him to come back but followed his scent home.
All three: They say three heads are better then one, a trip was the key, but they had to make it fun. They missed the train they were supposed to be on. So they used the handcar, what could possibly go wrong? But then Claudia came back in an hour or so, Claudia came back, they thought that'd keep her busy, but Claudia came back, how could their plan faiil sooo-whoooa-whoooa-whoooa?
Reason: She took the train back.
Akiko: This went on and on all week, by Saturday, they were looking pretty beat. They were sore from head to toe, so they asked for help from Akiko...By the time they got back in an hour or so, the party was set ready to go, when the sun came up, the three were still tired just sooo-whoooa-whoooa-whoooa!
