VR Troopers Episode 8 Kaitlin's Little Helper

Well hello there everybody welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we are looking at Kaitlin’s Little Helper written by Doug Sloan, and directed by John Grant Weil

So we start off with today’s “My dad taught me” moment where he talks about how kids should always have somebody to look up to which I like.

We then go to Crossworld City Park where Kaitlin is helping her cousin Betsy Scott take pictures of a frog for her wildlife article when Ryan throws a Frisbee to her, and they walk over to give it back while they gush over each.other.

Meanwhile Mrs Rooney is waiting outside a limo where her husband the mayor is inside talking to Karl Ziktor who wants to tear down the park to expand his power plant, and steals the flower on the Mayor’s suit to give to his lizard all while the mayor just goes “Mr Ziktor”.

Then we see Mrs Rooney get a drink from a water fountain when Jeb sees her, and we get treated to a comedy bit where Jeb pushes her into a mud puddle, and licks her.

Later at Ziktor industries Ziktor transforms into Grimlord, and goes to the virtual dungeon where he orders Col Icebot to create a substance that can destroy plant life so everyone will think the park is useless, and after a brief commercial break Icebot is successful, and we see some green ooze seeping out of an air vent.

Back at the park Ryan is cleaning up Jeb while he, and Kaitlin scold Jeb for pulling pranks on the mayor’s wife while JB, and Betsy actually find it funny then Ryan throws the Frisbee again, and Betsy goes to get it when some of Icebot’s plant toxin falls on it from a tree so she calls over Kaitlin, and the others to see, and Kaitlin realizes this could be a whole new story.

Back at the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord orders a status report, and Zelton explains that the plant toxin is doing it’s job but the Troopers know about it so Grimlord orders them to stop the Troopers so we go back to the park where three park rangers go up to the Troopers, and Betsy, and transform into Skugs.

Ryan, and JB each punch and kick at a Skug while another Skug tries to kick Kaitlin but she grabs it’s leg, and kicks the Skug instead then we just see all three of them kicking Skugs while Jeb, and Betsy watch.

Then Ryan tries to karate chop a skug but it blocks, and punches him instead while JB kicks his Skug while Kaitlin blocks, and punches her Skug.
Then JB flips over his Skug while Ryan, a flips, punches, and blocks his Skug while JB punches, and blocks his Skug but gets kicked while Kaitlin’s Skug tries to kick her but she catches it’s leg which Ryan, and JB do to their own Skugs, and the Troopers push them into each other, and after destroying the Skugs decide to take a sample of the green ooze to the lab for testing.

Then there’s a brief scene where Kaitlin leaves Betsy at the Underground Voice Daily to finish her wildlife article, and be watched by Woody who’s currently on the phone.

At the lab Kaitlin puts a sample of the substance on one of those little glass slabs you use on a microscope, and puts it in the lab’s analyzer, and JB finds on the lab’s computer that it’s a toxin meant to destroy plant life.

Back at the Underground Voice Daily Betsy is bored, and wants to go back to the park, and look for clues so she asks Woody to go to the park with her but he’s busy writing a story so Betsy leaves a message on Kaitlin’s computer, and goes to the park to investigate the slime.

Kaitlin, and the others return, and wonder what happened to Betsy, and find her message on the Computer while Woody apologizes because he though she was there while at the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord gets the idea to capture Betsy who thinks the slime has something to do with Ziktor’s power plant nearby as bait to destroy the Troopers.

Then Grimlord summons General Ivar who wants to send an all out aerial assault across the reality barrier but Grimlord instead orders him to send one only if necessary, and send a skeletal gun wielding robot called the Gunslinger to assist the Skugs.

Back at the park the Troopers see that the slime is everywhere, and decide to follow it to find Betsy’s hair band so they go the lab, and ask the Professor to use the geothermal scanner to find Betsy, and find her at the park captured by Skugs with jet fighters, and the Gunslinger patrolling the area so it’s Trooper time.

Ryan briefly turns into digitally colored Spielban again, so he can pilot the Skybase, and fire missles at the jet fighters while Kaitlin fights Skugs, and has to deal with quantum cruisers dropping bombs, and JB fights Gunslinger who fires at JB who doges, and fires back but Gunslinger uses an energy shield to block it, and fire again.

Ryan gets out of the Skybase, and into the VR interceptor jet while JB tries to hide from Gunslinger who’s using a antennae to track him then JB comes out, and Gunslinger tries to shoot him but JB kicks the gun out of his hands, and tries to slash at him with his sword but Gunslinger blocks with an energy shield.

Then he makes a scimitar appear out of nowhere, and slashes at JB with it until Kaitlin shows up to jump kick Gunslinger but he just slashes at her, and then turns one of his hands into a gun, and shoots at her which angers JB enough to rush at Gunslinger’s shield, and short it out, and then destroy him with laser lance while General Ivar attacks Ryan with his own fighter jet but Ryan destroys it.

Back at the park JB, and Kaitlin find Betsy who apologizes for running off by herself, and later we find out that because of their story the slime has been traced back to Ziktor industries thus ruining his own plan, and at the virtual dungeon Grimlord again swears vengeance.

Anyway “I miss you dad” the end.

Final Thoughts
Today’s episode was pretty good about the same quality as the last couple of episodes, and in my opinion a better Kaitlin focus episode than Kaitlin’s Front Page.

There wasn’t even anything really wrong in the editing department since there was nothing they took out of the Spielban episode that I felt was missing,
I think my only problem looking back is that like Kaitlin’s Front Page, and The Dognapping I can’t help but wonder if this episode, and Battle for the Books shouldn’t have switched Spielban monsters considering that was a JB focus episode but he needed Kaitlin’s help to beat, and here we have a Kaitlin focus episode where she gets hurt, and JB has to help.

Other than that this was a very good episode.
