Manabu: Geez I didn't think I'd be able to get that bomb out before it exploded Ian. Thank goodness Foxgirl has super speed.

Ian: [sitting on the floor blindfolded] Yeah but next time make sure WE'RE clear before it goes off!!!!

Manabu: Hey I got us clear enough to where we weren't killed!

Ian: Yeah whatever. I have to go pick up a special costume for you later this week so I may not be a round one day. I'm just waiting for them to call me.

Manabu:[pulls the curtain back and pokes her head out] New costume?! Neat! What is it?

Ian: Mole.

Manabu: MOLE?! It's not bulky and awful like my Panda costume is it?!

Ian: No. It's kinda like you Cat costume but you get big sharp claws that use sonic energy to help you dig and break stuff.

Manabu: ALRIGHT!! [water splashes out and soaks Ian]Ooops, sorry.

Ian: I should be glad that water was at least warm. I better go dry off.

Manabu: Well I'm sure the smell of wet tanuki isn't pleasant, just make sure you lock the door on the way out.

Ian: Yeah for the safety of the others in this family.[shuts the door.]

Somewhere in the Beast Kingdom, plans are being made. Juda is with a larger man dressed in royal robes are plotting. The man is Jerid, he is Ian and Juda's father and also the grand advisor to the Great Dragon.

Jerid: Can you explain to me how your brother is able to under mind our plans every time?!

Juda: Half-brother father, and he has too much of your wife in him. Besides the Great Dragon made a good choice when picking the human girl. She very capable.

Jerid: Impossible!! All human's are weak and evil, we all know that!

Juda: Really? Then why did you marry one dear father?

Jerid:[explodes into rage and picks her up my her neck] LISTEN!! I WILL NOT HAVE ANY OF MY CHILDREN MOCKING ME AND THAT INCLUDES YOU!! IF YOU WERE NOT SO IMPORTANT TO MY PLANS I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF YOU A LONG TIME AGO!!!![drops her] Now be a good girl and don't make your father angry.

Juda: [coughing] Yes......father.

Jerid: Now how are we to slip up this human and your brother.

Juda: I...have ....a...plan.

Jerid: Really now? Tell me.

Juda:[gets up] I have tricked him into foolishly betting his freedom that the girl's progress report will not be less than great. If it so much as shows a flaw he will be stuck here and without him...

Jerid: The human will be on her own and will fail. Very good however....THEY'RE NEXT REPORT WILL NOT BE FOR SOME TIME NOW!!!! We cannot wait around for her to fail!!

Juda: True but I've been slowly helping those forces she has been fighting, making more difficult for her. She's been lucky so far, but even fools can't be lucky everyday.

Jerid: So then my allowing you to the human world is not in vain. Okay who is next for her to face.

Juda: In order to find out...we must ask the oracles.

Jerid; Fine. It's time I spent some time with my two twin daughters.

Juda: They're half breed mistake of yours, why do you hold them in such good standing?

Jerid:[without even looking at her he raises a hand and blasts her sending her flying into a wall] Because they are useful to me. Their gift of foresight serves me well. Unlike some.[walks off]

Juda: [gets up] Someday father you will pay for all that you have done to me. But for now I will stand by and let you give yourself enough rope then I will snap the noose around you and hang you myself.

Later Jerid makes his way to a small play room. There two small tanukis are playing one is Gen, who is tinkering with some parts or radios and other machines. Jen is cuddling her tanuki doll and talking to a window. Both are Ian's younger twin sisters.

Jen: I don't know why daddy keeps us locked up here? He never spends time with us and we have to do everything ourselves. We even have to go potty on our own and it's hard for little baby tanukis like us. What should we do mommy?

Jerid: How are my angels?

Jen: Daddy!!!![runs and hugs him]

Gen: Hello father, I've been working on these devices you say the youth of the human world are hypnotized by and have yet to see how the turn them into mindless zombies.

Jerid: That's good. I need you two to do me a favor.

Jen: Can I get a cookie if I do?

Jerid:[an angry expression comes over his face but then it fades] Yes my dear you can.[Snaps and Juda walks in with a plate full of cookies] But first you must use you gift and tell me who Manabu's next challenge will be.

Gen: What is your concern for this human father. You don't even like humans.

Jen: Be quiet!! Mommy was a human!!

Gen: Fine whatever!

Jerid: It's not important. Now please if you will.

Both girls nod and hold hands. They begin to glow and then they both speak in one voice.

Gen and Jen: The human tanuki's next trial will come in two forms, That of a mother and son. Both driven to take control of the humans youth. One is of the past and the other represents the present. They are Disco Queen and Scratch Factor.

Jerid: Very good!

Gen and Jen: Also a new threat will come from someone close to her which will change her life.

Jerid: I doubt that will help us but you have told us enough. Thank you girls.

Gen and Jen stop glowing and stop holding hands. Gen goes back to her work while Jen holds her tanuki doll tightly and then looks up at her daddy.

Jen: Can I have my cookies now?

Jerid: Yes. Thank you.[walks off]

Juda:[throws the tray on the floor and walks off] Best of luck eating them. Next time get smart and ask for some milk so you don't choke eating them.[laughs]

Jen: [eats her cookies] They're so dry![looks at the window] Mommy how does daddy expect me to eat them.. I'll choke! My little baby tanuki throat can't swallow all of this. Mommy I want some milk.

Gen:[not looking up from her work] Yeah right Jen, you ask mommy for milk. Just don't be disappointed when you don't get it.

Then the wind blows and the curtains drape over the table near the window. When the draw back a tall glass of milk is sitting there. Jen dunks her cookies in it and happily eats her cookies.

Jen:[whispers] Thanks mommy.

Outside the window we hear Jen's giggling. And also we see a beautiful woman hovering outside the window too. She blows a kiss inside and then fades away.

Kekko: Come on!!!! Why can't we go clubbing?!

Kekko is in Manabu's room. She has her back turned as Manabu tries on a new dress. Kekko is pouting with her arms crossed.

Manabu: I don't like doing that!! It's awful!! I mean all those guys are older than us and they have nasty minds!! Okay you can look now, what do you think?

Kekko: [Turns back around and looks at her new dress] Very nice! Kawaii did a nice job.

Manabu:[smoothes it out on her body as she looks at herself in the mirror.} I'll say, I have to remember to thank her.

Kekko: You know where the outfit would look good at? The RAVE!!!

Manabu: Please!! I said no!!! I hear SO many stories of girls being drugged and stuff! Oh I don't want that to happen to me!! I don't want to end up in bed with some guy I don't know!!

Kekko: Saving yourself for Ian I see.

Manabu:[throws a pillow at her] Be quiet!!!! [blushes and looks over at the closet. In the closet is Ian hiding in his tanuki form. He has heard this and is glowing so red he's glowing in the dark]

Kekko: Come on I'll watch you back! Let's go I promise......pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaase....pweease...for me?!

Manabu: Oh alright!(sigh)

Kekko: YAY!! Be back in a flash! [Kekko runs into the closet and the door shuts behind her. There s a sound of shuffling and then 10 seconds later comes out dressed in a miniskirt and heels.] Ready to go clubbing? [She opens her compact and puts her lipstick on]

Manabu: Let me hit the toilet really quick and I'll meet you down stairs okay?

Kekko nods and skips off. Manabu gets a worried look and rushes off tot he closet and opens the door. Ian falls out and lays motionless on the floor. Manabu wakes him up.

Manabu: You okay Ian?!

Ian: I saw everything. I don't think I'll be able to blink for days!!![passes out again]

Manabu: Sorry about that.

Picks him up and lays him on her bed. She then kisses him gently and then blushes. She then grabs her cute kitty purse and walks out.

Kekko: [Waiting by the door] Ready now?

Manabu: Yeah guess so.

Kekko: Geez you could at least put on some make-up.

Manabu: No thanks. Let's just get this over with.

Later Ian wakes up as he hears someone in Manabu's bathroom. The door opens and out comes Manabu in her PJs. She's wearing baggy pants with a large nightshirt with a picture of a tanuki that looks a lot like Ian on it.

Manabu:[sits down next to him] Wake I see.

Ian: Yeah. What happened?

Manabu: Well you saw what all the guys in town wanted to see and then you passed out. Then Kekko dragged me off clubbing.[Ian raises an eyebrow] It was awful...I felt so out of place. I sat there and talked to no one...while Kekko of coarse was the center of attention. And ...argh some guy kept coming on to me and ....well I never want to go through that again! But Kekko tricked me into agreeing to go again this weekend. Sigh.

Ian: You're actually going back?!

Manabu: Hey, I don't want to but you know Kekko, you just can't say no to her. Sigh.

Ian: Yeah well go have fun....I'll just stay here and do your job for you.

Manabu: Hey I do that 24 hours a day, don't you think I deserve some fun?!

Ian: [walks off] If you really consider that fun.

Manabu: Why are you being like this?![flops down on the bed] Sometimes I can't understand him!!!!!

The next day Manabu is at home relaxing. She walks into the kitchen looking for something to drink. Her sister's right behind her. They both get there and see that there is only one soda left. They look at each other and then look at the soda. Then in a flash Rei pushes Manabu out of the way and grabs the soda.

Manabu: Oh that was low sister!! DRAGON SLIPPER KICK!!!

Manabu does a kick and her slipper flies off and lands in Rei's mouth knocking her back and sending the soda in the air. Manabu catches it and then bolts toward the steps. Rei spits out the slipper and chases after her. Manabu starts running up the steps.

Rei: Oh you don't get away that easy!!! MAGIC CARPET TRICK!!!

Rei pulls the carpet on the stairs and it cause Manabu to tumble down and the soda sails into the air. Rei is about to catch it but Manabu falls on her and the soda hits the ground. Just then their mother walks in and sees them. Then sees the soda.

Mother: Really now girls, fighting over a soda?! How childish!![picks up the soda] Besides it's mine!![laughs as she walks of. She opens it and the can blows up spraying her with soda and foam.]

Rei: Heh to the victor....

Manabu: Go the spoils!!

Rei: Let's go split a banana split at the ice cream shop.

Manabu: Okay. Have fun cleaning up mom. [both walk off.]

The girls are walking back from the ice cream shop when there is a commotion up ahead. The girls run over and they see a woman dressed in clothes rather outdated. She having an argument with the owner of a music store.

Disco Queen: What do you mean you don't sell 8 tracks anymore?! They're the best media ever made!!!

Owner: Sorry lady we haven't sold those things in about 20 years. All we have now a days is CDs.

Disco Queen: CDs?! Those things?!?!? They look like space age drink coasters to me!! Well I guess I'll have to show you the error of your way! Behold!!![points in a direction. Everyone looks that way and they see nothing] Umm........[sweating] Ooops wrong way.[turns around and points in the other direction] Behold!!

Everyone looks and they see a huge disco ball. Suddenly it transforms into a huge robot.

Disco Queen: Robot, be a dear and tear this store down.[fixing her gloves]

The robot moves towards the store as everyone flees in terror. Rei looks next to her and Manabu is gone. Manabu is looking for a place to change. She sees a pota-poty and makes an awful face. She looks around and takes a deep breath as she runs in and shuts the door. The porta-potty moves back and forth a bit and then Hedgehog-girl bursts out coughing and choking

Hedgehog-girl: Augh!!! It's in my eyes, it's in my mouth!! Oh that was awful!![She the runs off to the store.]

The robot is ransacking the store. Disco Queen is sitting on it's shoulder looking at herself in a mirror. Suddenly a quill flies in and hits her mirror. She losses her balance and falls off. The robot turns and sees Hedgehog-girl standing at the entrance.

Hedgehog-girl: I don't think anyone will mind that you wrecked the Barry Manallow section but "I" won't stand for you wrecking the rest of the good stuff.

Disco Queen: He wrecked the Manallow section?! [kicks the robot] Stupid piece of junk!! I told you to wreck the new stuff!![robot whimpers like a puppy] Go get her before I trade you in for a lava lamp!!!

The robot takes swipes at her but she manages to avoid them. Well until it smacks her in the bottom and sends her skidding into the discount bin.

Hedgehog-girl: OW! That....hurt.[rubs her bottom] Take it easy you walking bucket of bolts. That's fragile merchandise!! [picks up a CD] Hey!! I was looking for this one!! Um better put it back till I'm done. Okay you retro menace, time you go the way of the pet rock!![spins around at super speed] NEEDLE SHOWER!!!

The launches a shower of needles that rip the robot into pieces. It falls back and crushes Disco Queen.

Hedgehog-girl: Looks like Disco is dead.

Disco Queen:[from under the wreck] No...but I wish I were right now.

Hedgehog-girl: [laughs] That will teach you.

Rei:[outside] Manabu?! Where are you?! Mom's gonna skin you alive if you've ditched me!!

Hedgehog-girl: OH BOY!!![scurries off]

Disco Queen: [pokes her head out from under the wreckage] This...isn't over yet!![suddenly a shelf of CDs fall s on her] Then again I could be wrong.

Hedgehog-girl runs into the same porta-potty and closes the door behind her. The porta-potty hops around a few times and then Manabu stumbles out her face green]

Rei: Hey sis, you could have told me you had to go! I was looking everywhere for you.. Feel better?

Manabu: Not...really.[gets up and dusts herself off] It was awful!

Rei: [walking off] Really what? The port a-potty or what you did in there?

Manabu:[walking off after her] Very funny.

Kekko is once again ranting and raving about clubing again. Only this time poor Kawaii is there with Manabu in her room.

Kawaii: I'm with Manabu, I don't want to go to that spawning ground of male deviates, besides I'm not the clubbing type like you.

Manabu: Sorry Kekko, I'm not going unless Kawaii goes with us, safety in numbers ya know.

Kekko: But come on, I met this really cute guy there last time, he was the DJ.[Clasps her hands together] COME ON YOU GUYS!! Please!!! I'll never ask you guys for anything again.

Kawaii: Yeah till she needs money.

Manabu: Yeah keep your hormones in check, geez!!!

Kekko:[thinks to herself] Won't go unless Kawaii goes huh? [reaches into her pocket and pulls out some change]

Manabu: Resorting to bribery? That's low even for you.

Kekko: Nope not bribery...[gets a coin and holds it in front of Kawaii] Say look how shiny this coin is...all bright and shiny.

Kawaii:[eyes get small as if in a daze] Bright..............shiny.

Kekko:[leads her away with the coin] Come on now let's get you into a pretty dress.

Kawaii: Yes.............oooo shiny.[follows the coin]

Manabu: Sigh. I guess this means I'm going too.

Later at the club Kekko is waving to all the boys while Kawaii and Manabu are sulking in a corner. Kawaii is upset with the coin in her hand.

Kawaii: Stupid coin!! If only I weren't easily attracted to bright shiny objects!!

Manabu: Sigh. Well we'll just wait this out I guess..

Kawaii: I'm so scared!!! I feel like a angelfish in an ocean full of devil fish!![looks around nervously]

Manabu: Hey don't worry...they're like wolves and wild animals[a guy sits down next to her but is unseen by her] they're more afraid of you that you're afraid of them[he arm reaches over] So if we leave them alone they'll leave us.....GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Suddenly everyone turns around and sees Manabu stomping the heck out of the guy. Kawaii is hiding behind the chairs.

Manabu: [still stomping him] DON'T YOU EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER TOUCH ME THERE!!!!!!![ Calms down and then brushes her hair back] Come on Kawaii, let's go to the powder room to freshen up.

Kawaii: [steps out slowly] Y....yes ma'am.

Later Manabu walks out of the ladies room a bit calmer now. Kawaii is following behind her. They look around for Kekko and find her up in a booth talking to the DJ.

Manabu: Man, that girl never let's up!

Kawaii: Not true she does take leap year off.[Manabu glares at her] Sorry, trying to make light of the subject.

Manabu: Sorry it's just that I don't feel safe here. Guys seem to flock around single girls like sharks!!

Kawaii: I wish we had some sort of safe guard.

Ian: [human form] Hey gals.

Kawaii: [hugs him almost knocking him down] IAN!!! Oh I'm SO happy to see you!! Ha back off guys…we have a man!!

Ian:[sweating] Um…

Manabu: I'll explain later, still glad you came but of coarse I'm not as hysterical as Kawaii.

Boy: Excuse me miss but…

Manabu: [grabs Ian's arm] I'm with him see?!?!?!??! [boy walks off]

Ian: I see.

Manabu: Um but just in case stay close by…… for Kawaii's sake.

Ian: Sure…..for her sake.[rolls his eyes] But if you gals need to visit the bathroom, you're on your own.

Kawaii:[pulls him away] Come on silly.

Suddenly there's a big commotion in the middle of the club. Manabu looks over and see someone that makes her cringe. It is Juda and with her is Disco Queen. Ian looks down at Manabu and nods in compliance.

Manabu: Ooooo my tummy a bit upset. I better go visit the bathroom.

Kawaii: But Manabu, you just spent in hour in the toilet. [Manabu elbows her hard in the tummy] I mean go ahead.

Manabu: Um right I'm off. [ takes off blushing looking back at Ian.]

Ian: [looks at Kawaii} An hour huh? She must have rushed.

Kawaii: [rubbing her tummy] That she did.

Manabu rushes off and finds a huge line for the ladies room. She then looks around and sees there's a crawl space under the DJ booth. She crawls under one side then exits the other side as Chameleongirl.

Juda: So that's the plan. You got it?

Disco Queen: Um can you run it by me one more time?

Juda: [enraged] I just explained it to you 87 times!!!!

Disco Queen: Sorry!

Juda: Sigh.

Chameleongirl: You'll have to forgive her she's a bit slow.

Both girls look around but see nothing. Suddenly the see a faint figure that suddenly comes into focus. It is Chameleongirl.

Juda: Nice suit. Must be good for when you want to stay dateless.

Chameleongirl: Why you…

Juda: Forget it, this time I have you over a barrel.

Chameleongirl: How so.

Juda: You'll see. [laughs madly]

Chameleongirl: Oh yeah she gone.

Juda: Yeah well we'll see. You see I have a plan that will eliminate that mutt of a brother of mine. I know him better than he knows himself, Ms. Queen.

Disco Queen: Huh?

Juda:[yells making Disco Queen almost fall over] CALL YOUR SON!!!!!

Disco Queen: [gets her bearings] Oh right. Oh teddy bear!!!

Up in the DJ booth Kekko is talking to the DJ when they here Disco Queen.

Scratchfactor: [groans] I hate it when she calls me that. Sorry babe my mum's calling. [walks off]

Kekko: Sigh. No woman can compete with a guys mother. It's not fair.

Disco Queen: Hmmm he should be here by now.

Ian: [tanuki form hops on Chameleongirl's shoulder] Okay what's Juda up to?

Chameleongirl: Well so far she done nothing but her usual ranting and raving.

Ian: Oh yeah well it's a family trait…..skipped me thought.

Chameleongirl: [rolls her eyes] Um…yeah lucky you.

Disco Queen: Ahhhhhhhhh there's my teddy bear!!![clasps her hands]

Scratchfactor: I wish you wouldn't call me that.

Juda: Enough! Take her out!

Scratchfactor: [looks her over] Sorry that lizard girl doesn't look my type.

Juda: [yells at him too] I MEANT GET RID OF HER!!!

Scratchfactor: Geez alright.

A giant set of speakers fall from the ceiling forming a ring around them. Them loud rave music plays. Chameleongirl covers her ears then gets kicked, she slams against a speaker. The bass knocks her back and she gets caught in a huge whirlwind of attacks. Ian is watching this and starts to get worried.

Ian: That's it if Juda is getting involved I can too.

Ian dashes off behind the DJ booth and looks around; he then morphs into his human form. Ian then runs back but what he didn't see was Kekko in the DJ booth.

Kekko:[rubbing her eyes] I did not see that!!! It can't be!! Then again it does explain a lot. Ian….isn't…HUMAN!!!!!
