5. A Blue Streak (1/2)

a/n: this is another of my favourite tf episodes.

outside nick of old times, the rangers - expect wes - were all cleaning out the front, the girls sweeping or raking leaves away, while lucas moved a ladder towards the sign, before trip began to climb up it.

"i think this place is gonna work out." jen said.

"yeah." katie agreed.

"hope so." paige said, leaning on her rake.

wes then pulled up in a black car, then honked its horn to get everyone's attention, just as trip was about to clean the sign with a rag.

"hey." wes said, getting out of the car.

he closed the door and walked towards them, as trip climbed down the ladder.

"wow." he said, impressed. "now this...this is looking great."

"thanks." katie said.

lucas walked off towards the car, as trip turned to him, while wes stopped near jen.

"any, uh...sign of ransik?" wes asked.

"no. everything's quiet." jen answered.

paige turned from them to lucas, as he began walking alongside the car. she walked towards jen and patted her shoulder, as lucas got into the car, closing the door behind him as wes turned around.

"pretty cool, huh?" wes asked, approaching the passenger's side.

lucas nodded.

"it's the latest model." wes explained. "how'd you like to take it for a spin?"

lucas smiled while turning to him. "really?" he asked.

"sure." wes said.

he got into the car, as trip and the girls stared at him and lucas.

"so this, this is called a key." wes explained, holding it up.

"oh..." lucas said, sounding obvious. "okay."

"take it?" wes said.

lucas took the key and stared at it. "oh, a key?" he said.

he put the key in its position.

"you put the key in here, and turn it like this." wes explained, turning it for him.

"whoa." lucas said, as the engine started. "this is cool."

katie laughed as paige, trip and jen smirked.

"and that peddle there..." wes continued, as lucas put his foot on it. "..that's the accelerator, it makes you go forward. and the other is the

ake, makes you stop."

"go, stop. go, stop." lucas said. "i think i got it."

"see, got nothing to be afraid off." wes said.

trip chuckled. "hey, wes doesn't know that lucas is a championship racecar driver, does he?" he chuckled.

"no." katie smirked. "but i bet he's about to find out."

"and not in a good way, either." paige noted.

"now just ease it into gear." wes explained. "we're gonna pull up..."

he saw lucas put some racecar gloves on.

"what are those for?" wes asked.

"racecar driver." lucas answered.

"what?!" wes exclaimed.

lucas winked, then sped the car away, as trip and then girls turned around as it raced past them.

"i have a feeling lucas is gonna get into trouble." paige said.

lucas turned the car left while speeding it along a road.

"ahh!" wes gasped.

he felt queasy as lucas turned the car right, before spotting a row of yellow bins in front of them.

"look out!" wes called.

lucas turned the car left, making him miss the bins, but nearly making wes jump out of his seat.

"ah!" he yelped.

lucas kept racing along the road, when wes spotted a traffic light.

"lucas, stop!" wes said, as the light turned red.

lucas however raced past the light as an suv pulled over, then he turned the car right down the road.

wes looked up, then turned to lucas as he turned the car left down the road, right in view of a police car. the officer inside turned on the sirens and chased his car after lucas, as he turned his car left. the officer followed, going down another road nearby in view of wes, who turned around to it.

"oh, great!" he moaned, closing his eyes for a second as he leaned back in his seat. "now you've done it."

lucas kept on racing the car as the policeman kept chasing after it in his own.

soon, lucas pulled over, then the policeman did the same behind him, before he got out of his car. he then walked towards lucas, carrying a small ticket notebook.

"driver's licence please?" the officer asked.

wes turned to lucas, who pulled out his driver's licence from the year 3000. he handed it to the officer, seeing his name, picture and the words 'all spacecraft/vehicle academy' on, which he took no notice, as the picture turned 3d.

"my name is lucas kendell." it said. "i'm a certified racecar driver."

the officer chuckled, thinking it was a joke.

"very funny." he said, dropping it in the car.

lucas caught it, as the officer took out a pen, and began writing in the notebook.

"let's see now: speeding, reckless driving..." he began.

lucas looked confused as wes sighed.

"..illegal lane change, and driving without a driver's licence." the officer said.

the two rangers turned to each other.

"hey, just be glad he didn't see you run that red light." wes whispered.

"and running a red light." the officer said, having heard him.

wes sighed while leaning back, as lucas turned to him, and then back to the officer, who put the ticket on his shoulder.

"need to get yourself a driver's licence, young man." the officer said.

he walked off as lucas looked at the ticket.

in the cyro prison, ransik shook his head, before he turned around to gluto, frax and nadira - who sat down while being fanned by a cyclobot, while she sharpened her nails.

"we need a way to get power over the humans." he said, approaching them.

"master, these humans are very fragile creatures." frax said. "we know that they relay on food and water. we could starve them. eventually, they would have to bow down to your power."

"that's a great idea." gluto agreed.

"food?!" nadria spat, getting up. "what a ridiculous idea!"

"that's what i was saying." gluto lied, as nadria fanned herself with some money. "bad idea."

he chuckled nervously, before nadira shoved him away, and walked towards ransik.

"there's only one way to have true power in this century: cash." she said, holding up the bills.

ransik laughed as he took the money from her.

"ah. you're as smart as you are sweet." he said, touching her chin. "find me a mutant, to help my little girl get me all the cash in that i need!"

frax moved towards the panels, staring at the containers inside two of them - which had their lids up.

"i know just who can help me." nadira said.

she picked up a container, which had water-flea themed mutant, with red eyes, while his body was blue and white.

"mantamobile, the master car thief." she said.

"ah!" frax groaned, as she walked off.

the cryo chamber opened up as she approached it, then she took mantamobile out of his container, and put him in the cryo chamber. she laughed as she backed away, then a cyclobot pressed buttons on the cryo chamber's panel, closing it up. he then pressed a button saying 'enlarge', then stream went into it, as the yellow light above it turned green. the chamber opened up, then mantamobile came out of it.

"boo-yah!" he yelled, as nadira giggled while approaching him. "back and rocking for action."

nadira kissed him on the cheek.

"oh..." he blushed, as she laughed.

later, in the clock tower, wes was giving lucas the instructions of traffic safety, pointing at pictures on a board with a stick.

"yield." lucas said, sitting down as wes pointed at it.

"good." wes said.

he pointed at another picture.

"r-railroad crossing." lucas answered.

"good." wes said, before pointing at another. "easy one."

"oh, stop." lucas answered.

wes pointed at another.

"did this one before." he said, as lucas looked down.

he sighed as he got up and walked towards wes.

"this is lame!" he complained, pointing at the board. "i'm a world champion racecar driver."

"in a thousand years." wes reminded him. "but until then, no licence, no driving."

meanwhile, in a parking lot, mantamobile, nadria and a bunch of cyclobots showed up behind two cars - one silver, one blue.

"oh..." mantamobile said.

"hmm?" nadira smirked.

"these two will work perfectly." mantamobile said.

he shot a tentacle out from the right side of his chest, which stuck to the front of the silver car, near it's right front wheel. he laughed happily, as the car's back lights lit up, starting up its engine as smoke came from its mufflers, then it changed appearance, becoming black with a hood scoop on top.

"ready to roll!" mantamobile laughed.

his tentacle moved to the blue car as he and nadira laughed, before the car turned identical to the first.

"my own wheels." nadira smirked, approaching one. "now we're going in style."

she hopped into the second car, followed by a few cyclobots as its engine revved up.

"come on, let's hit the open road." she said.

mantamobile and the other cyclobots got into the other car, before they both raced off down a street.

"wahoo!" nadira whooped.

later, wes and lucas both stood in a line, outside the 'silver hills department of motor vehicles' standing in the drive test area.

"number 4-6-9..." a man said.

"well, are you ready?" wes asked.

"yeah, i think so." lucas replied, handing wes the manual.

"..4-6-9, now received." the man said.

wes opened the manual up and began skimming through it, before stopping at a page. lucas sighed as he waited to be called.

"the speed limit on the highway is...65..." he said, as wes nodded. "um...25 in the residential...and a railroad crossing it's 15 miles pre hour."

"you got it nailed." wes said, closing the manual.

lucas

eathed nervously, as he approached a white car waiting for him. he then got into it as a white man with glasses called mr. picketts sat in the passenger's seat. wes looked at them both as they strapped in and turned to each other.

"good luck." wes said, before walking off.

lucas sighed and took the wheel.

"my name is mr. picketts, and my motto is 'a careful driver, is a happy driver'." mr. picketts explained. "now, shall we begin?"

lucas nodded, before mr. picketts touched his seatbelt.

"safety belt latched." he said, before writing it down on a clipboard. "mirror adjusted. parking

ake released. let's go. easy now."

lucas sighed and pulled the gear shifter back, moving the car forward slightly.

"hold it! hold it!" mr. picketts said, making lucas stop. "hold on?! where's the fire?! remember: safety first. a careful driver, is a happy driver. try again?"

lucas sighed and rolled his eyes.

meanwhile, a red armoured car drove down a highway road, both men inside looking at it, when both mantamobile's cars showed up ahead of it. both men turned as the cars raced past the armoured car on either side of it.

nadira turned around to the armoured car.

"cashola." she said.

both cars pulled over, as the armoured car raced on.

"after than bank on wheels?!" nadira commanded.

she laughed as the cyclobots reversed the cars, skidding them backwards 180 degrees. they both then raced after the armoured car, as the two men inside gasped.

"step on it!" the second said, as the first hit the accelerator.

"ah!" nadira gasped.

"allow me?" mantamobile said.

he jumped from his car, turned into a mantuary, and then landed on the roof of the armoured car.

"uh!" the driver gasped.

mantamobile moved his tentacle forward, hitting the bumper of the car, making it stop.

"uh!" the men moaned, falling forward slightly as it skidded to a stop.

"wow!" nadira said. "get me that cash?!"

the cyclobots got out of the cars, and ran towards the armoured car.

a little later, lucas drove his car along a street, before pulling it over near a curb.

"not bad." mr. picketts commented. "not bad at all."

lucas sighed, when nadira's car raced past him, and turned left down the road, followed by mantamobile's. he turned around, staring at the cars through his open window, seeing them turn and skid to the left, causing money notes to fly from them and onto the floor.

"the young kids like to speed around, but not you. you passed with flying colors." mr. picketts said. "let's head on back."

lucas turned to him. "hang on." he said.

he moved the gear shift forward, then reversed the car, skidding it 180 degrees to the right.

"ah." mr. picketts gasped.

lucas raced the car forward, then turned it left down the road, and began chasing after the cars.

"young man, stop this car immediately?!" mr. picketts asked.

lucas kept on chasing the cars, as nadira turned around and saw him.

"oh! you spoil my fun!" she scowled. "let's go!"

the three cars kept racing down the road.

"okay, a happy driver..." mr. picketts squeaked.

the two black cars turned right into an alley.

mr. picketts gasped as lucas turned the white car right, skidding it to a halt, before lucas raced it down the alley.

"stop the car?!" mr. picketts cried.

nadira's car turned right and raced off out of the alley, while mantamobile's stopped just on the end of it.

"let me give 'em some detail work." he said, getting up.

he fired lasers out of his eyes, which ricocheted off the walls of the alley, before hitting the ground in front of the white car.

"agghh!" mr. picketts screamed.

lucas drove the car through the explosion, before it hit a few boxes, making him pull it over.

"oh!" he moaned.

he got out of the car, as mr. picketts sat petrified, and saw no sign of the cars.

"uh!" he moaned, frustrated, hitting the door.

he looked down at mr. picketts, who whimpered nervously, making him shake his head.

later, in the clock tower, wes and lucas ran into the main room, as the others turned to them.

"we've got trouble." wes said.

"what?" jen asked.

"nadira's got wheels." wes explained.

"fast wheels." lucas corrected. "with firepower."

"you sure?" paige asked nervously.
