Will true love bloom or is there more to this girl than meets the eye? Find out as the Net of Destruction descends upon Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs! Saber Rider: As Star Sheriffs, we're all lured by the call of the New Frontier. This can be a mysterious place. People aren't always who they seem to be. In fact, sometimes they aren't people at all . . . Fireball: Wow! Gold Lake City! The finest resort on the planet! Saber Rider: Put navigational controls on auto approach and landing. Fireball: Right away, Top Sword. Look at those lights. Saber Rider: Yes, it's quite a change from the desert we were just in. Colt: Good place to have a big hoedown! Saber Rider: Not today. Colt: Oh, why not?! Saber: Colt, we're here to stock up on essential supplies. Colt: Can't we fool around a little bit? Just for the fun of it? Saber: I doubt there'll be any time for that either. Colt: You know, people have been known to mutiny against slave drivers. Fireball: Colt, you're going to grow old before your time if you keep living this life in the fast lane. April: Guess what, you guys?! I was just notified that we get to spend three days of vacation here! Saber: Feeling cheered up, Colt? Colt: Yahoo!!!! Gold Lake City . . . Colt: Here we go, girls. Got some sweets for the sweet. Girl 1: Mmmm . . . I never tried Sassparella Sherbet! Colt: That's what we eat out on the Range . . . where the lonesome whipporwill sings. Girl 2: Is it really lonesome? Girl 1: What's it like out on the Range? Colt: Well, you sure work up a powerful appetite! That's a cinch. Girl 2: You have fun out there? Colt: Uh-huh. Wanna come? Girl 2: No chance, cowboy! Colt: Well, I tried. Wahahahahahaha! [laughing] Fireball: That Colt! We can't take our eyes off of him for a minute! Saber: I said he could rest after we finished work! Colt: And that's when they made me . . . head Star Sheriff! Fireball: Hey fearless leader . . . Are you interviewing new deputies? April: I'll do the interviews! As Leader Colt, I'm sure you're *much* too busy! Colt: Now hold on a minute! April: We're only trying to help . . . just like you were supposed to help us! Colt: I was gonna help! April: Was is gone! I loaded your share already! Colt: I'm real sorry, April. Fireball: I'm Fireball. Sally Jo: I'm Sally Jo. Girl: You kind of look like Saber Rider . . . Saber: They say there's a slight resemblance. Girl: I have his picture! Colt: Hey! These girls were talking to me! Fireball: Because they were under the false impression that you're our leader! Girl: Gasp! Girl: He's not?! Saber: Nope. I'm afraid he's been pulling your leg. Colt: D'you have to be so *honest*?! Girl: Hmmph! I'm going! Girl: Bye, Colt! Colt: Hey, hey! W-Wait! Can't we talk about this?! Girl: Oh! Girl: Get lost! Colt: Ohhh . . . Born to sing the Blues! Fireball: Gee, I hope we didn't interrupt anything *important*. Saber: Yes, of course, that would be the furthest thing from our minds. April: Great dessert! Ahhhh . . . Colt: Your heart's colder than that icecream! April: Life's like that . . . a rocky road! Colt: Nobody loves me! April laughs. Space . . . Outrider: We crossed the Vapor Trail into the human dimension. What are the orders? Trail Boss: Attack! Now! Trail Boss: Rangler formation! Down the Star Freighter! April: Saber Rider will be back after these commercial messages. [Commercial Break] Saber Rider: And now . . . back to the Star Sheriffs! The Star Sheriffs' hotel room . . . Saber: This is a very special city . . . A perfect place for a vacation! Colt: Yeah, I'm goin' ridin' tomorrow if anyone wants to come along. April: I'd like to go swimming . . . or maybe moutain climbing! Oh, I can't decide: Officer: What's that? An Outrider attack? On a frontier airfreighter?! Fireball: What? Officer: A computer-controlled airfreighter was just shot down by Outriders. Luckily there was no one on board. It was on a flight to test new equipment. The Outriders are still in the area. Colt: Sounds bad! Fireball: Let's go! Colt: Well, so much for our vacation! Fireball: Maverick Land Control, on! Colt: Quickdraw, on! Saber: Maverick Flight Dynamics, on! April: Maverick Navigator, on! Saber: Move us out! Fireball: You got it, Top Sword! Saber: I'm getting a signal . . . There's something in the canyon up ahead! Yes, there it is now. Outriders! Outrider: Star Sheriffs! Fireball: All right! They're afraid! Saber: They gave up too easily . . . Fireball: Hey, that's okay with me! Fireball: Why didn't they stick around? It doesn't add up. Colt: I was never that good at mathematics . . . But I'm not bad at scouting! I'm going to mosey out and take a look around . . . just in case. He goes out and starts looking over the crash scene before spotting what looks like a body . . . Colt: Whuh? Hey! Annabelle: Uhhh . . . uhh . . . Colt: Uh, howdy, ma'am. Annabelle: Oooh . . . Colt, Now, don't be afraid, you're safe! I'm one of the good guys! Annabelle: The Outriders are gone? Colt: Yup, they don't stick around too long when the Star Sheriffs show up! They put up a fuss, but it's all over now. Annabelle: Oh . . . It seems like a dream. I was all alone on the plane. Fireball: Is she all right? Colt: Seems to be. She was the only passenger on the airfreighter. Fireball: Can you tell us what happened? Annabelle: Oh . . . Colt: Later! She's too upset right now. Later . . . At the Doctor's clinic . . . Doctor: It's amazing this girl survived such a crash! Colt: Unusual? Doctor: Not unusual . . . incredible! She only received a mild concussion and some scratches. Very lucky! Saber: Doctor, when will she be strong enough to answer questions? Doctor: Hard to say. She needs rest now, and time to recover from the shock of her ordeal. Don't be surprised if she can't remember too much. People sometimes block out bad memories. Colt: Well, is there anything *we* can do to help her get better? Doctor: She needs the support of friends. Do you know if she has a family? Colt: All we know is on this card. Doctor: Says her name is Annabelle Cody. She's a computer technician. Saber: Yes, but it's still a mystery to me as to why she was on a test flight that wasn't *supposed* to have passengers. Colt: Hey, it sounds like you're blaming Annabelle! She didn't ask for that crash! Fireball: We're not *blaming* her, Colt. We just need to find out the facts. It is our *job*, remember? Colt: Well, the lady needs a friend, and that's why *I'm* gonna be! Now, I don't want anybody asking questions 'til *she's* ready! Fireball: Great. Next he'll get a white hat! Hopeless! Still later . . . Colt walks to the doctor's house carrying a bouquet of roses. He pauses to chat with the doctor's Great Dane . . . Colt: Hey, feller! Nice day, isn't it? . . . before proceeding to Annabelle's room. Annabelle: Uhhhh . . . uhhhh . . . Gasp! Colt: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to wake you up! Annabelle: It's okay. Colt: Can I get you anything? Annabelle: Sit. Colt: I wanted to see you again. Annabelle: Oh? Colt: Why sure! I was worried about you! Annabelle: Were you really? Oh . . . Colt: Did I say the wrong thing? Annabelle: No, you didn't. I'm just surprised . . . It seems too good to be true! Colt: I care what happens to ya! Annabelle: Honest? Colt: Well, yeah! Annabelle: Thanks. You're kind. I owe you a lot already. Colt: Shucks! Annabelle: I mean it. Colt: You don't owe me anything! I'm here 'cause I wanna be! To make sure you get well. Annabelle: You really mean that? Colt: Mmm-hmm. Annabelle cries. Colt: Don't feel bad. Annabelle: And you'll be my friend? No matter what? Colt: Even through a stampede! Saber Rider: The Star Sheriffs will be back . . . after these messages! [Commercial break] Colt: And now, back to Saber Rider! Colt ponders his situation outside of Ramrod. Colt: Well, I'll just tell 'em how I feel. I'll get mad! Naw, that won't do it either. Now, I'll just . . . wing it. Inside Ramrod . . . Fireball: Where've you been?! Colt: Out. Saber: Out where? Colt: I visited Annabelle. Is there something wrong with that? Saber: No, there isn't but we'd like to know where you are in case there's an emergency. Colt: I didn't want anyone to interfere. Two's company . . . five's a crowd! Know what I mean? Fireball: You're such a pain, Colt. Everytime you see a pretty girl, that's it! We can't count on you for anything! Colt: Annabelle's not just any girl! Saber: And you're not just any guy, Colt! You're a Star Sheriff with a job to do on the New Frontier. Colt: I'm not going to stop seeing Annabelle no matter what! She needs me! And besides, it won't interfere with my duties as a Star Sheriff. Fireball: Yeah, sure. Colt: I don't know why I bother explaining anything! Fireball: Hey! Colt! April: Wow, he's really got it bad . . . I've never seen him this serious! Colt: Stallion Power, on! Fireball: Should we go after him? Saber: It wouldn't help. Fireball: Brain surgery might. Saber: Think so? Fireball: Not really. I don't think there's a cure for a lovesick cowboy. And Colt's got it *pret-ty* bad this time. Saber: Quite. Beeping interrupts their conversation . . . April: Hey, guys! We're receiving a distress signal! Saber and Fireball gasp. April: Outriders have been sighted by another cargo ship! Saber: Sounds like our cue! Fireball: Well, what about Colt?! Are we going without him?! Saber [making a quick command decision]: Yes. At the doctor's . . . Annabelle: Thanks for the drink, Colt. That was very nice of you. Colt: I kin tell yer gettin' better, 'cause you keep lookin' purtier . . . Annabelle: Because of you. Colt: Are you finished? Annabelle: Mmm . . . yes. Oh, Colt, you've been so helpful! You haven't asked why I was on the airfreighter, though you must be curious. Colt: I reckon I am. Annabelle: It was curiousity. That airfreighter had some of the most sophisticated computer equipment around! I just wanted to see it work . . . Colt: Oh. But why were you so afraid to say so? Annabelle: I'll get fired . . . from my job. Colt: Not now. I'll talk to 'em for ya. They'll understand. Annabelle snickers evilly. At the big battle by the lake Ramrod seems to be doing okay . . . Fireball: Right on target! Saber: Good job, Fireball! Fireball: Thanks! Saber: You deserve it, Fireball! You're learning fast! Fireball: Torpedoes! Saber: They're firing at us from *within* the lake! Fireball: That thing looks like a giant insect! Do we have any giant bugspray? Saber: 'Fraid not. Fireball: How 'bout a big flyswatter? Saber: Alas, that's not part of Ramrod's equipment. But we do have other options, don't we? Fireball: Right! He hits that big red button . . . April: All right! Ramrod will now take Navigational control! Ramrod: Acknowledged, April. Navigational control on. Ramrod challenge phase . . . one. Head 'em up, move 'em out! Powerstride, and ready to ride. Fireball: This bug's got quite a sting! If I could just get a bead on it . . . April: We can't hold up under this punishment! Saber: You'll just have to [something something]! Back at Doc's . . . Doctor: Excuse me, won't you? Sitting up! A good sign! Let's check your heart and your breathing. Annabelle: Sure thing. Doctor clears his throat. Doctor: Colt, could you turn around, please? Colt: Oh. He turns around, cheeks flaming. Doctor: Just breathe normally now. Colt gets caught trying to sneak a peek . . . and turns his head, even more embarrassed. Colt: Ah! Doctor: Have you been experiencing any more dizzy spells? Annabelle: No, not at all. Doctor: Okay, Colt. Colt: You know, Annabelle, I wish I was a doctor. I'd help fix you up myself. 'Course, you'd be my only patient! Annabelle: I like that idea, Colt! Colt: The very first thing I'd prescribe . . . is a walk. Annabelle: Gasp. Well, I don't know if I should yet. Can I have a second opinion? Colt: Doc? Doctor: I really can't see any harm in a short walk. In fact, it might do some good. Colt: Thanks! Well, come on, now. Annabelle: All right! Colt and Annabelle saunter outside. The doctor's Great Dane growls at the pair. Colt: Careful! Annabelle: Oh my! Colt: He was real friendly before . . . Nice pooch, go on now. The dog runs off, yelping, scared out of his wits. Colt: Wonder what got into that dog? Annabelle: Glad you were here! Colt: Yeah. Colt: You know something? Before I knew you . . . I never took the time to appreciate a view like this. Annabelle: It's really beautiful, isn't it? Colt: Yes, ma'am! Purtier than rhinestone. Annabelle: I need a souvenir! Look, there's a little butterfly . . . down on those rocks! Colt: Huh? Yeah? W-Well, where? Annabelle: There, see? Can you get it? Colt: Can I? I'm as sure-footed as a billy goat! He swipes at it with his hat, dancing around on the rocks. Colt: Hey, you come here now! And no use playing hard to get! The Great Dane barks and bites the arm of the Outrider aiming for Colt. Colt: Varmint, what'd'you do with Annabelle?! Doctor: What's happening?! I heard a shot! Colt: IT'S YOU!!!!! Yer really an Outrider?! Annabelle: Yes, I don't usually have a physical body like this . . . I just took on this form to *fool* you! Colt: Well, why me?! Annabelle: Why not you? You're a Star Sheriff and you have a special weakness. Colt: Yeah, well you failed so now what?! Annabelle: I'll go back to my own dimension and await reassignment. Colt: Yer not going anywhere! Yer my prisoner! Annabelle: Bye, Colt! Doctor: Colt, the Star Sheriffs need you! On the South side of the lake there's a big battle with the Outriders! Your friends are in trouble, Colt! Colt: I'll leave right away! Meanwhile, at the big battle on the South side of the lake . . . Saber: What's our status?! Fireball: You don't wanna know! Fireball: All right! Colt's coming! April: Come on in, Colt! Colt: Sorry I'm late! Saber: DON'T make it a habit! Fireball: He already does! Colt: Well, I'm a-here now, so let's go! Colt: Maverick Roundhouse! Colt: Outriders, this time you've gone too far! Saber: Get the net off, quickly! If it ties us up, we're finished! April: It's trying to electrocute us! Colt: Maverick Quickdraw! Saber: Well done! Now, let's bring out the big guns and finish the job! Colt: My thoughts exactly! April: We got him! Colt: Saber Rider will be back, after these messages! [Commercial break] April: And now, back to Saber Rider! Fireball: You can't sit around and mope forever! Colt: I'm a broken man. April: I'm so sorry it turned out this way. Colt: It's all over . . . I can't go on! Fireball: Guess we'll just have to leave without cha. Colt: Yeah, well, who'd keep you out of trouble?! Fireball: We'll manage. Colt: Not without me you won't! Saber and April laugh . . . Saber Rider Your destiny will lead you To where the people need you Though danger may have found you You have your friends around you Now now now! Saber Rider Saber Rider Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs In the Sky! Saber Rider! _________________________________________________________________________ file downloaded from www.yuma-city.de
