VR Troopers Episode 62 Game Over

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Game Over written by Diane Mathers, and directed and Vikie Bronough.

So we start off with today’s “My dad taught me” moment where Ryan talks about how his dad taught him that there’s a balance between work, and play.

We then go to a lake where Ryan, and Kaitlin are fishing with some kids when while we get a comedy bit with Percy.

And JB is working on a virtual reality game that simulates a fight with Grimlord’s mutants to test their skills but unbeknownst to the Troopers one of Grimlord’s Skugs is in the water, and sees them.

At Ziktor industries Ziktor watches what the Skug sees, and once again has been reading the Power Rangers villain playbook because he transforms into Grimlord, and orders his minions to steal the game.

At the lab Ryan, and Kaitlin are playing the game which is a bunch of Spielban footage while JB programs it on his computer, and asks them for ways to improve it, and they say thinks like giants, and being ambushed.

JB then creates a green mutant with pointy ears, red bug eyes, and a claw tipped spear called Gameoid while Oraclon, and Ivar volunteer to steal Gameoid, and make him real.

At Tao dojo Kaitlin is sparring with Tao when JB, and Ryan come in with the newly finished game, and some visors.

And the Troopers play the game until three guys in karate gis show up, randomly turn into Skugs, and multiply.

The Troopers, and Skugs just punch, and kick each other, and the Troopers roundhouse kick the Skugs, and grab their legs when they try to kick back so the Skugs transform into Ultra Skugs.

But Ryan kicks one of the Ultra Skugs into a cabinet, and kicks another Ultra Skug into it destroying them, and Kaitlin, and JB kick two Ultra Skugs into a bench together destroying them but the last Ultra Skug steals JB’s computer so they head to the lab.

At the Dark Fortress Oraclon makes Gameoid real while at the lab the Troopers track JB’s computer to a warehouse so Ryan decides to go over there.

Ryan sees Grimlord’s minions at the warehouse so he transforms, summons the Nitro Cycle, and bursts through a wall.

But Despera shoots him with her scepter, and covers Ryan with green slime, puts chains on him, and traps him in a cage.

Then she shoots him with more lasers, and the slime comes off Ryan, and reforms into Gameoid.
The Professor, and the other Troopers see Ryan on the lab’s monitors so they give him a power boost which enables him to escape the trap, and he fights off Grimlord’s minions.

Gameoid comes after Ryan with his spear but Ryan keeps kicking him, and dodging so Gameoid teleports away.

JB, and Kaitlin transform, and Kaitlin fights Ultra Skugs while JB fights Ivar.
Ryan is still fighting Gameoid who’s grabbed Ryan’s sword with a vine but Ryan slices it off, and goes after Gameoid who teleports away.

Then Grimlord orders the fight be taken to the Indigo Sector where Gameoid shoots lasers from his eyes at Ryan so Ryan shoots his own laser which makes Gameoid shrink.

So Gameoid comes after Ryan with his spear but Ryan destroys him with his laser while JB defeats Ivar, and Kaitlin destroys the Ultra Skugs, and retrieves JB’s computer.

But then Despera appears in the Indigo Sector, and throws her scepter, shoots lasers, and teleports, and Ryan tries to fire his own lasers at her but she retreats, and Ryan is knocked out of the Indigo Sector.

Then the Troopers take the computer to the lab, and JB deprograms it.

While at the Dark Fortress Grimlord once again shames his minions.

We then see the Troopers fishing again while the kids they were fishing with are playing on game boys, and we get one last comedy bit with Percy.

Anyway “I love you dad” The end.

Final Thoughts.

Today’s episode was pretty good.

I liked the idea of the Troopers making a fake mutant to test their skills, and Grimlord stealing it, and turning it into a real one.

I also thought that Gameoid was another one of the better Shaider monsters.

I also liked that JB, and Kaitlin got to be in Trooper mode, and that the Troopers fought the Ultra Skugs in this episode.

Really I think my only real gripe was that I would have saved the fight with Despera for a major episode especially since it seemed like they cut a bit from the actual fight with Gameoid.

All in all this episode feels more like how I would have started Season Two after Quest for Power.

VR Troopers Episode 61 Fashion Victims

So remember when I said that after Quest for Power I was doing a four day week because there’s only four regular episodes afterwards before Kaitlin Through the Looking Glass

And I was going to make Kaitlin Through the Looking Glass it’s own special week just for itself, and do one more four day week before going back to my regular schedule?.

Well since I took that month, and a half hiatus when I originally was just going take a couple of weeks tops I looked it up, and there’s only 7 regular episodes after Kaitlin Through the Looking Glass before Grimlord’s Dark Secret.

And afterwards there’s just 17 more regular episodes of VR Troopers.
Anyway my point is while I’m still doing a four day week this week.

Next week is going to be a full week before another four day week, and then three more whole weeks before one more four day week.

Moving on welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Fashion Victims written by Clifford Herbert, and directed and Vikie Brodough.

So we start off with today’s “My dad taught me” moment where Ryan talks about how his dad taught him about the importance of keeping promises.

We then go to the Underground Voice Daily where Kaitlin is with her friend Andrea who’s a fashion designer, and is making clothes for a design competition.

Andrea explains that she needs models, and after a comedy bit with Percy Kaitlin, and Andrea decide that Kaitlin, and the guys would be perfect.

At Ziktor industries Ziktor is back to reading the Power Rangers villain playbook because he’s looking at Andrea’s designs, and decides to transform into Grimlord.

Grimlord then orders Despera, and Oraclon to create a mutant, and they create a silkworm like mutant called Silkoid.

Later at Tao dojo JB practices with a bow staff while Ryan watches when Kaitlin shows up, and tells them what’s going on, and at first they’re reluctant but Kaitlin convinces them to go along.

Meanwhile Andrea is working on her clothes when three women appear, and turn out to be Skugs who then restrain Andrea, and use a device to shoot purple lasers, and put Andrea under Grimlord’s control.

Back at the dojo Ryan gets a call from Tao asking him to teach a class so he tells the others to go without him, and he’ll meet them later.

Then we see a montage of JB, and Kaitlin trying on Andrea’s clothes, and afterwards the Skugs appear in their human forms before changing back, and multiplying.


Kaitlin, and JB just punch, and kick Skugs, and there’s parts with a Skug in a dress, and Skugs using fabric rolls as weapons.

Then the Skugs trap Kaitlin with some fabric, and JB destroys some Skugs before being trapped as well, and Silkoid appears, and cocoons them.

At the Dark Fortress Andrea appears on the monitor, and tells Grimlord that JB, and Kaitlin are prisoners

But he still wants Ryan so he orders her to go after Ryan, and Doom Master, and the Vixens volunteer as back up.

Ryan’s done at the dojo so he goes to Andrea, and sees the cocoons, when Andrea isn’t looking he tries to contact JB, and Kaitlin but can’t.

Then he tries to contact the Professor who also confirms not being able to contact JB, and Kaitlin so Ryan goes outside, but Doom Master and the Vixens are there.

So Ryan transforms, and briefly fights Doom Master, and the Vixens, and shoots lasers at them, they retreat.

Ryan retroforms, and goes back inside, and finds some of Silkoid’s silk so he tells the Professor, and goes to the lab.

At the lab Ryan puts the silk in the analyzer, and the Professor figures out what’s going on, and explains that if they can’t get JB, and Kaitlin out of the cocoons they’ll mutate into silkworm mutants as well.

so Ryan transforms again to fight Silkoid, and free his friends, and summons the Nitro Cycle while Doom Master undoes the brain washing on Andrea, and Silkoid cocoons her but Ryan frees her with his laser.

Ryan briefly fights with Ultra Skugs before fighting Doom Master with his sword, and Silkoid using a giant rose as a weapon, and later fires at everyone with his laser.

Oraclon then sends the fight to a strange dimension called the fractal zone where Silkoid spits webbing at Ryan, and cocoons him but Ryan uses his laser, and escapes.

Oraclon then takes the fight to another dimension called the Indigo Sector where Silkoid is holding a scimitar, and teleports, and turns invisible.

While Ryan is dual wielding his laser gun, and laser saber, and uses his scanner to find Silkoid, his laser gun to bring Silkoid out of hiding, and his laser saber to destroy him freeing the other Troopers from the cocoons.

Ryan helps Andrea, and the others escape while Grimlord once again swears vengeance on the Troopers.

Back at Andrea’s studio Andrea reveals she’s made new designs based on the Troopers then we get one last comedy bit with Percy.

Then Ryan once again talks about the moral of the episode.
The end.

Final Thoughts.

Today’s episode was okay it was good but not great.

I liked the story, and message, and Silkoid was one of the better looking Shaider monsters, and it’s cool to finally see a Shaider monster after all the buildup of Quest for Power.

My only real gripe was that JB, and Kaitlin didn’t transform at all especially since Andrea got cocooned herself, and the stuff with Andrea being brainwashed felt like it dragged on.

It also didn’t help that even though only one Metal Hero show was used they still cut out stuff from the fight scene with Silkoid but left the one part I probably would take out.

In the end it’s good but not how I would have kicked off the new status quo after Quest for Power.

VR Troopers Episode 60 Quest For Power part 5

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Quest for Power part five written by Douglas Sloan, and directed by Worth Keeter.

So we start off where we left off with the Troopers, and Ryan’s father trying to make a new virtualizer for Ryan but the crystal is imperfect.

Then the Professor, and Ryan’s father show some Shaider footage of all the powers, and weapons he could have.

Like the lightsaber esque Laser Saber, The VR Shoulder Cannon a laser cannon similar to JB’s Techno Bazooka, the VR Nitro Cycle a flying motorcycle similar to JB’s fighter bike.

And finally the VR Combat Module a tank that splits into a jet, and drill tank like the Battle Cruiser.
At Ziktor industries one of his secretaries informs him that JB, and Kaitlin survived the crash of the Skybase.

So he transforms into Grimlord, and orders his minions to send a mutant after the Troopers so Despera has Oraclon create one.

And Oraclon makes an orb appear in his mouth which Despera takes out, afterwards fly into the walls of the Dark Fortress, and appears on the monitor in the form of a white mutant with a claw for a hand called Irradiator.

At Tao dojo Ryan, and his father are sparing when the Professor contacts them to tell them to come to the lab.

At the lab JB shows them Irradiator so Ryan’s father has JB, and Kaitlin transform, and uses a special virtual enhancement program to upgrade their powers.

Kaitlin jumps, and kicks at the Skugs while JB goes sword to claw with Irradiator when Air Fighters appear so JB takes the fight to virtual reality.

Kaitlin keeps fighting Skugs, and destroys two of them while Irradiator throws JB, and makes guns come out of his shoulder, and fires on JB.

While Ryan, and his father watch at the lab so Ryan, and his father try another virtualizer experiment but it fails.

While at the Dark Fortress Grimlord orders Doom Master, and the Vixens to invade Crossworld City.
JB shoots off Irradiator’s arms with his laser but they come back to life, and attack JB.

But JB slices them with his sword, and decapitates Irradiator but Irradiator is still alive.
Meanwhile Kaitlin still fights Skugs when they transform into Ultra Skugs but Kaitlin still holds own with them.

At the temple Ryan, and his father have another father/son moment when Tao appears, and Ryan, and his father tell Tao they need a special crystal, and he has one.

JB destroys Irradiator with Laser Lance while Kaitlin destroys the Ultra Skugs who have the same weakness as the old ones.

Tao gives Ryan, and his father the crystal while Kaitlin, and JB fight Doom Master, and the Vixens by punching, and kicking them.

Grimlord orders Despera to help Doom Master, and the Vixens so she teleports to where they are, and fires lasers from her scepter at JB, and Kaitlin.

Meanwhile Ryan, and his father have finished the virtualizer, and Ryan finally transforms into Shaider, and we’re treated to some Shaider footage of Ryan fighting Ultra Skugs with his sword.

Ryan summons his spaceship to fire lasers at Grimlord’s minions forcing them to retreat, and Grimlord once again swears vengeance on the Troopers.

Finally at the temple Ryan’s father congratulates the Troopers but Grimlord is still out there, and the Troopers are ready.

Then JB, Kaitlin, and Jeb leave, and Ryan, and his father share one last father/son.

The end.

Final Thoughts.

This whole storyline was pretty good.

I still stand by what I said about how if I could count all of it as single episode I would say it’s my all time favorite.

It’s a great send off to Ryan’s old powers, and Grimlord’s old mutants, and fortress, and great introduction to Ryan’s new powers, and Grimlord’s new mutants, and fortress.

I also liked the part where it genuinely seemed like Ryan was killed before he could escape Grimlord’s dungeon.

I also liked the various father/son my moments between Ryan, and Tyler.

It has problems but there mostly small, and can be chalked up to pacing, and production.

The whole story feels like it could have just been three episodes instead of five since the story is just Grimlord steals Tyler’s knowledge to upgrade his mutants, Ryan, and the others find out, and fight them, Ryan goes to the Virtual Dungeon to rescue his father, and Jeb, and almost gets blown up.

Ryan, and his friends search for Grimlord, and his father, and them in a cave but Kaitlin, and JB get kidnapped, and Ryan has to rescue them, and he rescues his father, and friends but looses his old powers.

Ryan, and the others heal Tyler while Grimlord creates the Dark Fortress, and his new minions, and Tyler makes new powers for Ryan so he can fight them.

I liked the fights with Wolfbot, and Rapidspore in parts 1 and 2, and the one with Irradiator in part 5 but I felt like they both could have been used for stand alone episodes.

Remember how I went on all the time in The Disappearance, Race to the Rescue, and New Kids on the Planet about how I wished they had saved Ryan’s fights for those episodes for a major multi parter.

Well this what I was talking about.

It also bugged me how JB, and Kaitlin spend so much of the first half out of Trooper mode, and they try to overcompensate by having Ryan spend all of part 4 out of Trooper mode

Also for all the build up to Ryan’s new powers it bugged me that they didn’t actually use a Shaider monster to show them off.

Then again I also think if it didn’t have the Shaider stuff, and you edited it to end at part 3, and you included Ivar’s fights from Save the Trees, and Great Brain Robbery, and Icebot’s fight from Littlest
Trooper, and made this the series finale.

Or if they switched around Grimlord stealing Tyler’s knowledge to have it before Defending Dark Heart, and split it up into two two parters with one that’s the first two parts of Defending Dark Heart in the middle of Season One with Dark Heart becoming an ally of the Troopers.

And the other at the end of Season One that’s the last two parts of Defending Dark Heart mixed with the first half of this episode.

And then the second half be the Season Two premiere.

VR Troopers Episode 59 Quest For Power part 4

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Quest for Power part four written by Douglas Sloan , and directed by Worth Keeter.

So we start off where we left off with the Troopers trying to revive Ryan’s father but nothing is working, and the Professor explains that physically Ryan’s father is okay but he can’t access his own memories.

So Jeb suggests going to Tao for help, and the Troopers agree so they tell Tao they need help, and he agrees.

At Ziktor industries Ziktor’s secretaries give him the fully charged prism of empowerment, and has his secretaries destroy his old power orb.

Then he uses the prism to create his new Dark Fortress which a flying shark like spaceship, and then Ziktor uses the prism to transform into Grimlord.

Grimlord then shoots a beam that creates a woman in a white dress with an Egyptian style head dress, and a scepter who calls herself Despera.

Then Despera shoots electricity from her scepter which brings a face on the wall behind Grimlord to life as a supercomputer/genie called Oraclon.

And Oraclon in turn shoots lasers that create Ultra Skugs, a man dressed in black, and red scorpion themed armor called Doom Master, and a group of women warriors in various different colored outfits called Vixens.

Then the Troopers take Ryan’s father to Tao who opens a bookcase door, and takes everyone to his secret meditation room.

Then Tao puts some herbs, and a giant purple crystal on Tyler, and tells everyone to think happy thoughts, and that fixes Tyler.

Then we go to the temple where Ryan has his “my dad taught me/I miss my dad” moments, and shares a long overdue father son moment when they remember Grimlord, and immediately start working on new VR Trooper powers for Ryan.

At the Dark Fortress Grimlord orders his minions to destroy the other Troopers, and Oraclon recommends sending in Grimstars new manta ray shaped spaceships to do the job, and Grimlord agrees.

The Troopers, and Ryan’s father are still working on Ryan’s new powers when the lab’s alarms sense the Grimstars so JB, and Kaitlin transform to fight them.

The Grimstars fire on the Skybase with lasers so JB fires missiles, and destroys one but the others keep firing so Ryan’s father tells them to retreat but they can’t escape, and the communication goes out.

Ryan’s father tries to reestablish communication while JB destroys the Grimstars with more missiles but the damage is done, and the Skybase crashes.

JB, and Kaitlin teleport back to the lab okay but the Skybase is trashed but Ryan, and his father have finished his new powers with only one thing missing: the virtualizer.

Meanwhile Grimlord is confident that nothing stands between him, and final control of reality.

To be continued.

VR Troopers Episode 58 Quest For Power part 3

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Quest for Power part three written by Douglas Sloan , and directed by Worth Keeter.

So we start off where we left off with JB, and Kaitlin looking for any trace left of Ryan or Jeb when they see Ryan, and Jeb emerge from the rubble of the Virtual Dungeon.

Then Ryan, and Jeb return to the lab, and Ryan wonders if they found any trace of his dad but JB says no.

But Ryan decides to go to where they can get a better scan of both realities, and the other Troopers join him.

Meanwhile at Ziktor industries Ziktor’s secretaries are fighting over who’s in charge of the virtual army now that Grimlord’s gone.

But then Grimlord himself appears on the monitor, and reveals he’s in a temporary base until his new Dark Fortress is complete.

And he uses what’s left of his old mutants to destroy Ryan but needs to get all the Troopers to his lair.

The Troopers are still looking for clues when they pick up a signal coming from a nearby cave.
While Grimlord, and Icebot have finished the last brain draining session, and Icebot is already using it to new, and improved mutants.

Grimlord has him send them after the Troopers who arrive at the front of the cave to find plants that turn out to be Skugs.

The Skugs wave their hatchets around but the Troopers just punch, and kick them, and Kaitlin knocks one into a flower pot, and kicks another Skug into it destroying them.

Then JB also knocks a couple of Skugs into each other but Grimlord via campfire orders Icebot to enhance the Skugs’ powers.

Then the last two Skugs put their hands in front of each other, and transform into Miraclers from Shaider, and when the Troopers to fight them off they kidnap Kaitlin, and JB.

Then Ryan contacts the Professor who explains what’s going on, and tells Ryan to come to the lab.
While the new Ultra Skugs take JB, and Kaitlin, and put them on weird metal crosses with Tyler Steele on a third one.

At the lab the Professor explains what’s going on, and explains that the technology from Ryan’s father has upgraded Grimlord’s mutants to the point that if Ryan keeps fighting them he could lose his powers forever but Ryan still has to save his friends, and his father.

Meanwhile JB, and Kaitlin try to talk to Ryan’s father but it seems like the brain draining has left him a vegetable.

Then Grimlord explains his plan which is to use a laser cannon which will move back, and forth, and slowly down until it decapitates JB, Kaitlin, and Tyler like a laser pendulum, and starts the device.

At the lab Ryan says fuck it, and decides to transform, and the Professor lets him but only if he recharges his powers first.

The laser pendulum swings closer to Ryan’s father, and friends but Ryan’s powers have finished charging, and he teleports to Grimlord’s temporary base.

The heads of various past mutants keep flying into Ryan, and exploding draining his powers but Ryan doesn’t give up.

Then a cape falls down, and turns into Decimator who comes after Ryan with his sword so Ryan kicks him but it turns out to be an illusion which the Professor explains all of the Mutants Ryan’s been fighting have been.

So Ryan pulls out a knife, and throws it at the Decimator, and Decimator disappears into nothingness.
Then Grimlord himself appears, and picks up Ryan, and throws him with electricity, and then attacks Ryan with tentacles.

Then Grimlord tells Ryan he’s rigged his temporary base to explode, and his throne levitates, and Grimlord escapes.

Ryan searches for his father, and friends but his powers are giving out, and the laser pendulum is coming down on his friends, and father.

Ryan’s powers finally give out but he finds his friends, and father, deactivates the laser pendulum, frees everyone, and everyone escapes the cave before it explodes.

But alas Ryan’s virtualizer starts glowing, and when he pulls it out it disintegrates into powder confirming that Ryan’s lost his powers.

At the lab attempts to revive Ryan’s father from his current state have failed, and Ryan is distraught over the whole thing.

While elsewhere Grimlord now having a new American costume since the show finally used up all the Metalder footage, and he brags about how the worst is yet to come

To be continued.

VR Troopers Episode 57 Quest For Power part 2

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Quest for Power part two written by Douglas Sloan , and directed by Worth Keeter.

So we start off where we left off with Grimlord, and Icebot still draining the knowledge from Ryan’s father with only one more session before they have while back at the lab the Troopers don’t know what to do to save Ryan’s father.

Ryan decides that the only solution is to go into Grimlord’s dungeon directly but JB informs him that Grimlord’s dungeon has a human DNA sensor so only mutants can enter.

Then Ryan asks the Professor of he, and his father had anything that could help, and the Professor tells them to check the archives at Crossworld University, and the Troopers check it out.

Back at the Virtual Dungeon the mutants are worried about being scrapped in favor of new mutants when Grimlord appears, and summons Icebot who informs Grimlord that he’s upgraded Wolfbot with more of Tyler’s knowledge, and Grimlord orders him to destroy Ryan.

Back at the archives there’s a brief comedy bit/heartwarming bit where the Troopers find an old baby picture of Ryan.

Then they find a book that contains the blueprints for the VR Trooper technology when the Professor contacts them to tell them about Wolfbot so JB, and Kaitlin take the book, and Ryan transforms to fight Wolfbot.

Wolfbot jumps at Ryan a bunch of times but Ryan keeps kicking him, and throwing him, then they jump down and Wolfbot jumps out of a building but Ryan kicks him again.

At the Virtual Dungeon Icebot reveals that Wolfbot has a new weapon, and we see a spider like flying creature detach from Wolfbot, and shoot webbing at Ryan.

Meanwhile Grimlord has Air Striker, and Fighterbot attack JB, and Kaitlin while Ryan uses Lighting Hand on Wolfbot but Wolfbot is revived by the spider creature.

Then the spider creature shoots webbing at Ryan so he dodges but this leaves him open to attacks from Wolfbot so Ryan destroys the spider creature with Lighting Hand which also destroys Wolfbot causing him to melt into green slime.

Back at the lab JB tells Ryan that the blueprints don’t have anything that can help so Jeb volunteers to sneak into Grimlord’s dungeon, and while the Troopers debate this Jeb says he’s going to the bathroom.

But really he looks for the nearest portal to virtual reality, and goes directly to Grimlord’s dungeon but he still sets off the alarm, and Skugs chase after him.

Back at the lab the Troopers figure out what happened to Jeb, and after a lengthy comedy bit the Skugs capture Jeb, and Ryan transforms by himself to rescue Jeb.

Ryan finds the portal Jeb used, and goes into Grimlord’s dungeon while the Skugs put Jeb in the same cell as Tyler and Grimlord decides to destroy his own dungeon with Ryan inside.

Ryan then appears in Grimlord’s dungeon where Grimlord has Slashbot attack Ryan with his sword while Grimlord rigs his dungeon to explode in a few minutes.

Ryan punches Slashbot, and destroys him with Lighting Hand while the Skugs take Tyler Steele, and Ryan finds Jeb, and debates searching for his father or escaping the dungeon before deciding on the latter.

Ryan tries to escape but Grimlord’s dungeon explodes seemingly destroying Ryan, and there’s an admittedly tear jerking part where JB, and Kaitlin debate looking for Ryan.

And they admit that they knew there were risks when they became VR Troopers but they didn’t think anything like that would happen.

To be continued.

VR Troopers Episode 56 Quest For Power part 1

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we’re looking at Quest for Power part one written by Douglas Sloan , and directed by Worth Keeter.

So we start off with today’s “My dad taught me” moment where Ryan just talks about missing his dad, and how he hopes to find him.

We then go to Tao dojo where the dojo is having a father/son day which reminds Ryan of his situation with his own father.

Meanwhile at Ziktor industries Ziktor is looking at a prism which he explains will give him the knowledge that he needs to take over the world.

Then he transforms into Grimlord, and has Skugs tie Ryan’s father up with ropes made out of electricity while Grimlord shows him some Shaider footage.

Grimlord further explains his plans to steal the knowledge from Ryan’s father to make new, and improved mutants, and vehicles.

Meanwhile at the Underground Voice Daily Kaitlin is taking pictures of some models when Ryan, and JB show up.

Kaitlin explains that the paper now has a new section called Crossworld Style that talks about fashion, and sports, and Kaitlin is the new editor with her own office.

Back at the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord, and Icebot begin draining the knowledge from Tyler Steele, and only stop so it doesn’t cause permanent damage.

Then Skugs take Tyler to his cell, and when no one’s looking he pulls out a device, and tries to send out an SOS.

Back at the Underground Voice Daily there’s a comedy bit where Percy tries to put the moves on Kaitlin’s models when Jeb humiliates him.

Then the Troopers get a message from the Professor telling them to go to the lab while back at the Virtual Dungeon a mutant catches Tyler, and Decimator informs Grimlord about it, and Grimlord orders him to destroy the Troopers.

The Troopers are driving to the lab when they are stopped by a tree branch, and try to move but can’t, and when they go back to the car are ambushed by Skugs.

The Troopers just punch, kick, and flip Skugs while Jeb uses the car’s door, and windshield wipers to hit Skugs, then the Skugs try to grab Kaitlin, and Ryan but they get the Skugs off.

Kaitlin kicks some Skugs into each other while the other Troopers trick the last of the Skugs into knocking into each other, and go back to the car.

At the lab the Professor shows them Tyler’s message but it’s scrambled but JB unscrambles it, and Tyler explains Grimlord’s plan.

Back at the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord has just finished another knowledge draining session, and orders Icebot to use what they’ve drained so far to upgrade Wolfbot from The Transmutant, and Couch Potato Kid, and Rapidspore the mutant that attacked Percy in Defending Dark Heart, and wants them to destroy the Troopers.

Back at the lab the Troopers are trying to trace Tyler’s message when the Battle Grid alert goes off but it’s just the lab detecting Wolfbot, and Rapidspore so Ryan, and JB transform to deal with them.

Wolfbot tries to grab Ryan but Ryan throws him so Wolfbot fires his claws but Ryan blocks them so Wolfbot slashes Ryan with his claws but Ryan just punches, and kicks him so Wolfbot jumps up into a tree.

JB searches for Rapidspore who just blinds him with gas while Skugs attack JB so Kaitlin transforms to help him.

Wolfbot jumps back down, and tries to bite Ryan who just punches him off show Wolfbot tries to slash Ryan again but Ryan knocks his claws off with a karate chop so Wolfbot keeps attacking but Ryan keeps punching, and kicking so Wolfbot retreats.

JB takes the fight with Rapidspore to virtual reality where Rapidspore keeps attacking with toxic gas, and transforms into a starfish like creature, and grabs JB, and electrocutes him.

But JB manages to get Rapidspore off, and uses his scanner to find Rapidspore’s weak spot, and destroys Rapidspore with Laser Lance.

Back at the lab the Troopers talk about how hard to defeat Grimlord’s mutants were when Grimlord himself shows up on the lab’s monitor, and shows Ryan’s father in the midst of another knowledge draining session.

To be continued.
