It's nighttime and Blaze, AJ, Stripes, Darington, Zeg and Starla are having a race together.

|
Gus

It's your time to shine, buddy!
|
Bump Bumperman
|
Oh, ho! What a race! It may be dark out here, but these racers are really lighting up the track!
|
Darington
|
Nice one, Blaze!
|
Zeg
|
Whoo!
|
Stripes
|
Rawwr!
|
Starla
|
Shoo-whee!
|
Blaze
|
(to the viewer:) Oh, hey there! AJ and I are in the middle of a special night race!
|
|
Pans up to the floodlights lighting up the racetrack.
|
AJ
|
With those bright lights, we can race even though it's dark out.
|
|
More racing.
|
Starla
|
Yee-haw!
|
Zeg
|
Whee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
|
Darington
|
Racing at night sure was a bright idea! (chuckles) Get it? A bright idea?
|
Blaze
|
Ha-ha! Come on, guys! One more lap to go!
|
Stripes
|
Rawwr! See you at the finish line!
|
|
They race more. Up the street, a kangaroo dressed in a thieve's mask, hat, and cape is stealing bulbs from the streetlights and placing them into her sack.
|
Light Thief
|
Ha ha ha hoo! Haha!
(sings:) Lights, lights, lights for me! I take every light I see!
Ha ha hoo hoo!
|
|
She stops and sees the racetrack.
|
Light Thief
|
Wow! Those are the biggest lights I've ever seen! Wait a sec...I got an idea. I should take those lights...for me! Hoo hoo! Ha ha ha!
|
|
The race is still going on.
|
Starla
|
Yee-haw!
|
|
The Light Thief begins taking all the bulbs from the floodlights.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoopee! Whoo-hoo!
|
|
The lights shut off in the stands.
|
Trucks
|
The lights are out!/It's so dark!
|
Gus
|
Hey! Joe, is that you? (bumps him)
|
Joe
|
I-I don't know, Gus. I-I can't see!
|
|
More lights are stolen.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
|
On the racetrack, the lights shut off.
|
Starla
|
What in tarnation?! I can't see!
|
Darington
|
Me neither! (crashes into some tires)
|
Zeg
|
It too dark! (hits some barrels) Whoa!
|
|
The Monster Machines lose control.
|
Monster Machines
|
(indistinct yelling)
|
Bump
|
Oh, my! For some strange reason, the whole racetrack has gone totally dark! Now, none of the racers can see where they're going!
|
|
They come to a stop; Gabby comes over to see if they're okay.
|
Gabby
|
Are you guys okay?
|
Darington
|
Whoa...whoa...I think so.
|
Stripes
|
How did it get so dark all of a sudden?
|
Blaze
|
Someone must've taken all the lights.
|
Light Thief
|
(in distance) Whoo-hee!
|
AJ
|
Hey, look over there!
|
|
The Light Thief steals the previous of the floodlights.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo-hoo! Ha ha ha ha!
|
AJ
|
It's a bouncing kangaroo!
|
|
Now she steals bulbs from streetlights.
|
Light Thief
|
(sings:) Lights from here, lights from there! I'll take lights from everywhere! Ha-ha!
|
Blaze
|
Gaskets! That kangaroo's stealing all the lights!
|
Light Thief
|
Ha-ha!
|
Blaze
|
She's...a Light Thief!
|
Light Thief
|
Ha-ha-ha-hoo! Ha-ha!
|
|
She bounces out of sight.
|
Starla
|
Come on, fellers! We can't let that Light Thief get away with all our lights!
|
Darington
|
We've gotta stop her!
|
|
They take off.
|
Zeg
|
Zeeeeeeg!
|
Stripes
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
Starla
|
Yaaaaahoo!
|
|
Unfortunately, they crash again.
|
Zeg
|
That not work.
|
Darington
|
It's too dark!
|
Stripes
|
We can't catch the Light Thief if we can't see where we're going!
|
|
AJ dismounts.
|
Blaze
|
Hmm, to catch someone when it's dark out, we need to have lights.
|
Gabby
|
I think I've got just the thing.
|
|
She opens her toolbox and gets out a special battery; she puts in it in Blaze which makes several quantities of him light up.
|
Gabby
|
These are your brand new speed lights!
|
|
The others check him out.
|
Zeg
|
Ooh!
|
Darington
|
Wow!
|
Starla
|
Whoo-whee!
|
Stripes
|
With those lights, you can see in the dark!
|
|
AJ gets on.
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh! I'm a Light Rider!
|
AJ
|
All right!
|
Blaze
|
Now let's go catch that thief and bring back all the lights!
|
|
He sets off through the dark city; travel song starts.
|
Tommy Leonard
|
Another day, another adventure We could do it if we do it together Rev it up, let's hit the road! 1, 2, 3, let's go!
Blazing amazing No one can stop us now (We can't stop!) We're blazing and racing (Yeah!) To save the day, we'll show you ho-ow
Who-o-oa (We've got velocity!) Who-o-oa (Speed is what we need!) Who-o-oa Come on everyone, Let's Blaze!
|
|
Song ends; the Light Thief steals more lights.
|
Light Thief
|
(sings:) Lights, lights, lights galore! I think it's time to take some more!
Ooh, like this one! And that one! Ooh, and that one, ha-ha!
|
|
She sees a lit tunnel and bounces toward it.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoopee!! Ha ha ha ha ha! Whoo-hoo!
|
|
She steals the lights one by one; Blaze comes up the street.
|
Blaze
|
Quick! The Light Thief went into that tunnel!
|
|
He enters; clucking is heard.
|
AJ
|
Blaze, did you hear something?
|
Blaze
|
Yeah, it kinda sounds like...
|
|
A chicken comes out of the darkness.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
A chicken?
|
|
Two more join.
|
AJ
|
Uh-oh, those are night chickens!
|
|
They peck Blaze all over.
|
Blaze
|
Ooh! Ah...eek! Hey!
|
AJ
|
Whoa, let's get outta here!
|
|
Blaze hurries back the other way.
|
Blaze
|
WHOAAAAA!!!
|
|
Commercial break; repeats from when the chickens appear.
|
Blaze
|
Hey!
|
AJ
|
Whoa! Let's get outta here!
|
|
Blaze hurries back the other way.
|
Blaze
|
WHOAAAAA!!!
|
|
He gets out of the tunnel.
|
Blaze
|
Phew!
|
AJ
|
What to we do, Blaze? Those night chickens would really like to peck us and this tunnel is full of 'em!
|
Blaze
|
Hmm...night chickens only like to come out when it's dark. So...let's use our speed lights to make the tunnel really bright! That'll make the night chickens go away!
|
AJ
|
Yeah! Light is energy you can see. So if we send more energy from our battery into our lights...
|
|
Blaze's lights briefly gleam brighter.
|
AJ
|
They'll shine bright enough to chase away the night chickens!
|
Blaze
|
Come on, let's try it!
|
|
He reenters the tunnel.
|
Blaze
|
(to the viewer:) Tell me when you see a night chicken, and I'll make my speed lights shine really bright.
|
|
Cut to behind him.
|
Blaze
|
When you see a chicken coming, say "Chicken."
|
|
After some time, the first night chicken appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Chicken!
|
|
He shines bright and the chicken squacks in fright and runs away.
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh!
|
AJ
|
It worked! When we made our speed lights really bright, that night chicken ran away.
|
Blaze
|
Let's keep going. But be on the lookout for more night chickens.
|
|
Behind shot.
|
Blaze
|
If you see a chicken coming, say "Chicken."
|
|
Time passes; another chicken appears, viewer responds.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Chicken!
|
|
He shines again, scaring the chicken away.
|
Blaze
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
AJ
|
Awesome! Now keep looking, there are still more night chickens hiding out there in the dark.
|
|
Behind shot.
|
Blaze
|
When you see a chicken coming, say "Chicken."
|
|
After some time, the chicken appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Chicken!
|
|
Shine; the chicken runs away.
|
Blaze
|
Yes! If you see another one, say "Chicken."
|
|
Time passes, the chicken appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Chicken!
|
|
Shine; that chicken also runs away.
|
Blaze
|
Just one more! When you see the last chicken, say "Chicken."
|
|
Time passes, the last chicken appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Chicken!
|
|
Shine; the last chicken runs away.
|
Blaze
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
AJ
|
Look, there's the way out!
|
|
Blaze makes it out.
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh! We made it past the night chickens!
|
AJ
|
Way to use those speed lights, Blaze!
|
Blaze
|
Now come on! We've gotta catch that Light Thief before she takes every light in Axle City!
|
|
He hurries through the dark; STEM song starts.
|
Blaze
|
Gonna shine a light It's a type of energy Make it shine bright With luminosity

|
|
Song ends; elsewhere at the park, Pickle is driving around with a flashlight.
|
Pickle
|
(singing:) Doo-bee-doo, la-la-la-la-la... (stops) Ooh, look! (he finds...) A penny! (gasps; next is...) And a flower!
|
|
Now he finds Crusher, who winces from the light.
|
Crusher
|
Eek!
|
Pickle
|
And a Crusher! Hey, Crusher! Check out my flashlight! I'm using it to find stuff in the dark. Wanna try?
|
Crusher
|
Ha! I don't need a flashlight to find stuff in the dark!
|
|
He finds a shadow.
|
Crusher
|
See? I just found a yummy sandwiiich! (giggles; chomps) Mmm-mmm! This is some sandwich, and best of all, I found it without your flashlight!
|
Pickle
|
Ooh! Let me see!
|
|
He shines the flashlight on Crusher's "sandwich"; it's really an old shoe.
|
Pickle
|
Wow, your sandwich looks just like a shoe!
|
Crusher
|
Pffft, that's because... (sees it) it is a shoe! (spits disgustedly)
|
|
On a street, a truck juggles watermelons when the Light Thief comes up the road stealing bulbs from streetlights.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo-hoo! Wah ha ha ho! Whoo-hoo! Ah ha ha! Whoo-hoo, ah ha ha ha!
|
|
The light above the juggling truck goes out; he drops his watermelons.
|
Juggling Truck
|
Ah...whoa-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh! (ducks)
|
|
Blaze catches the watermelons just in time.
|
Juggling Truck
|
Phew! Thank you, Blaze!
|
Light Thief
|
(in distance) Whee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
|
AJ
|
Look! There goes the Light Thief!
|
Light Thief
|
Hoo-hoo! Ah ha!
|
Blaze
|
Come on, AJ! Gimmie some speed!
|
|
He sets off; now the Light Thief comes to the construction site.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo-hoo!
(sings:) Those ones up there are nice and bright! I'll need a boost to get those lights!
|
|
She steals them.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoopee!
|
|
She hits a switch on one of the cranes, causing it to move.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
|
She activates another; Blaze comes.
|
AJ
|
Blaze, look out!
|
|
One crane drops the big pipe it's holding right in front of him.
|
Blaze
|
Yah!
|
|
Another drops in his other direction.
|
Blaze
|
Whoo! Hubcaps, we're trapped!
|
AJ
|
Oh, no! We've gotta find a way out of here! (gets off)
|
Blaze
|
(to the viewer:) What we need is something super strong that can cut through these metal pipes! Something like...a laser!
|
AJ
|
Yeah! A laser can make a special light that's so strong, it can cut through almost anything!
|
Blaze
|
Come on! Help turn me into a Monster Machine Laser!
|
|
Transformation interface appears.
|
Blaze
|
First, we need a flashtube. It's the part that makes light for our laser. To make the flashtube, say "Flashtube." Flashtube!
|
|
Flashtube materializes.
|
Blaze
|
Great! Now we need a crystal rod. It turns the normal light into special laser light. To make the crystal rod, say "Crystal rod." Crystal rod!
|
|
Crystal rod materializes.
|
Blaze
|
And last, we need the mirrors. They bounce the laser light back and forth until it gets super powerful. To make the mirrors, say "Mirrors." Mirrors!
|
|
Mirrors materialize.
|
Blaze
|
Check me out! I'm a Laser Blastin' Mmmmmmonster Machine!!
|
|
Blaze transforms; AJ boards him and he uses the laser on the pipe, cutting right through.
|
AJ
|
Whoa! We're cutting through metal with light -- laser light!
|
|
The pipe leaves a gaping hole to drive through.
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh!
|
AJ
|
We're free!
|
|
He drives through the hole.
|
AJ
|
Watch out, Blaze!
|
|
A crane drops some pipes up ahead.
|
AJ
|
That crane just dropped four pipes!
|
Blaze
|
(to the viewer:) Help me use my laser to cut through all four. Count to four with me.
|
|
He cuts through one pipe at a time.
|
Blaze
|
One...two...three...four! Whoo-hoo!
|
AJ
|
All right! Look out, another crane!
|
|
It drops pipes as well.
|
AJ
|
And it just threw five pipes!
|
Blaze
|
Help me cut through them with my laser. Count to five.
|
|
He cuts through them.
|
Blaze
|
One...two...three...four...five!
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Yeah-ah!/Whoo!
|
AJ
|
Way to use that laser! Only one crane left!
|
|
It also drops pipes.
|
AJ
|
Uh-oh, but it's throwing seven pipes!
|
Blaze
|
Count to seven with me.
|
|
He cuts them.
|
Blaze
|
One...two...three...four...five...six...seven! Whoo-hoo!
|
|
He exits the construction site and returns to normal.
|
AJ
|
We made it!
|
Blaze
|
Now nothing can stop us from catching that --
|
Light Thief
|
(in distance) Whoo-hoo!
|
|
Up ahead is the...
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Light Thief!
|
AJ
|
There she goes!
|
|
She steals more lights.
|
Blaze
|
Hang on, AJ! Time to catch that Light Thief once and for all!
|
|
He hurries down the road; back at the park, Pickle is still using his flashlight.
|
Pickle
|
Crusher! Crusher! I found more stuff with my flashlight, look! (He finds...) A tree! And-and... (next is...) A mailbox! Oh! (now there's...) And another tree! (giggles)
|
Crusher
|
Yeah? Well, I don't need a flashlight to find stuff in the dark. Watch!
|
|
He finds another shadow.
|
Crusher
|
Aha! I found... a big bowl of spaghetti! (laughs and tastes it) Mmmmmm!!! This spaghetti sure is... stringy!
|
Pickle
|
Ooh! I wanna see!
|
|
He shines the flashlight on the "spaghetti"; it's really a mop.
|
Crusher
|
Wait, this isn't spaghetti. It's... a mop! (spits disgustedly) Yuck!
|
|
Now the Light Thief comes to the carnival.
|
Light Thief
|
Ha ha ha ha! A carnival!
(sings:) Rides and games, a ferris wheel! So many lights for me to steal!
|
|
She steals them.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo, like this one! Ooh, and all of these! Ha ha!
|
|
She steals more lights; now the carnival is completely dark.
|
Light Thief
|
Ah-ha-ha! Whoo-hoo!
|
|
Blaze arrives.
|
AJ
|
Look, there she is!
|
Blaze
|
All right, Light Thief! Give us back those lights!
|
Light Thief
|
Uh-oh, I can't give the lights back! Gotta bounce! (bounces away)
|
AJ
|
Follow that kangaroo!
|
|
Blaze gives chase; commercial break. Scene restarts.
|
Blaze
|
Give us back those lights!
|
Light Thief
|
Uh-oh, I can't give the lights back! Gotta bounce! (bounces away)
|
AJ
|
Follow that kangaroo!
|
|
Blaze follows but can't find her.
|
Blaze
|
Lugnuts! I can't see where the Light Thief went!
|
AJ
|
This carnival is so big! How are we gonna find her?
|
Starla
|
(in distance) I reckon we can help!
|
|
The Monster Machines and Gabby on her ATV come forward, all with speed lights.
|
Blaze
|
It's our friends!
|
AJ
|
And they all have speed lights!
|
Starla
|
Yee-haw!
|
Stripes
|
Rawwr!
|
Darington
|
That's right!
|
Zeg
|
Gabby make us shiny!
|
Gabby
|
Now we can help you catch the Light Thief together!
|
Blaze
|
Okay, guys. Let's all increase our energy to make our speed lights super bright. That'll light up the whole carnival.
|
AJ
|
Then we can see where that Light Thief is hiding!
|
Darington
|
Let's do it!
|
Zeg
|
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
|
Starla
|
Yeah!
|
Stripes
|
Increase energy!
|
|
They shine more.
|
Zeg
|
It working!
|
Darington
|
We're lighting up the carnival!
|
Blaze
|
(to the viewer:) Now let's look for the Light Thief.
|
|
Pans to some snack stands; the Light Thief is behind some boxes of apples.
|
Blaze
|
Where's the Light Thief hiding?
|
|
Viewer says where she is; zoom in on her.
|
Blaze
|
By those balloons! Yeah!
|
Light Thief
|
Agh! They see me! (bounces away)
|
Blaze
|
After that kangaroo!
|
|
They chase her until they stop.
|
Stripes
|
Where'd the Light Thief go?
|
Zeg
|
Zeg not see kangaroo!
|
Blaze
|
Let's make our lights super bright again so we can find the Light Thief.
|
AJ
|
Increase energy!
|
|
He shines; pans to a popcorn stand, the Light Thief is behind a barrel of them.
|
Blaze
|
Where's the Light Thief hiding?
|
|
Viewer responds; zoom in on her.
|
Blaze
|
In that popcorn! Yeah!
|
Light Thief
|
Agh! They found me again! (bounces away)
|
Gabby
|
She went that way!
|
AJ
|
Come on, guys!
|
|
They chase more.
|
Blaze
|
This way, gang! We're so close!
|
|
They stop.
|
Starla
|
I reckon that Light Thief is hidin' here somewhere.
|
Darington
|
Increase energy!
|
|
Shine; cuts to the ball toss booth, the Light Thief is amongst the prizes.
|
Blaze
|
Where's the Light Thief hiding?
|
|
Viewer responds; zoom in on her.
|
Blaze
|
By those stuffed animals!
|
Light Thief
|
Agh! (bounces away)
|
Stripes
|
Rawwr! The Light Thief's getting away!
|
Blaze
|
Not this time!
|
|
The Light Thief bounces over a barrel; Blaze knocks it into the air and it falls down on her.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoa!
|
Blaze
|
We caught the Light Thief!
|
Rest of Monster Machines and Gabby
|
Whoo-hoo!/Yeah!/All right!
|
|
Blaze approaches the trapped Light Thief and AJ dismounts.
|
Blaze
|
Okay, Light Thief! Time to give back all those lights!
|
Light Thief
|
No, I...I can't give the lights back! I need them!!
|
AJ
|
But why? Why do you need so many lights?
|
Light Thief
|
Without the lights... (peels off her mask) It's dark. Well, I'm...I'm...afraid of the dark! (sobs)
|
Stripes
|
Ohh, you're afraid of the dark.
|
Starla
|
No wonder she took all those lights.
|
Light Thief
|
(sobs)
|
Blaze
|
(lifts the barrel away) Hey, don't worry. It's okay to be afraid of the dark.
|
Gabby
|
Yeah, everyone's afraid sometimes.
|
Blaze
|
But you don't need to have all these lights to make you feel better.
|
AJ
|
Sometimes, just a little bit of light is all you need.
|
|
He gives her a small light bulb.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoa, look at that! (puts it on her hat) A tiny light just for me!
|
Blaze
|
So, how do you feel now?
|
Light Thief
|
Ah...I don't feel afraid anymore! Ah ha ha ha ha, whoo!
(sings:) I'm not afraid, 'cause now I see! A little light's enough for me! Ha ha!
|
Monster Machines, AJ and Gabby
|
(cheering)
|
Light Thief
|
Thank you, Monster Machines! I'm really sorry I took all the lights. And I promise, I'll never do it again!
|
Zeg
|
Yay!
|
Gabby
|
Good for you!
|
Starla
|
Now come on, y'all, let's put these lights back where they belong!
|
Stripes
|
Oh, man! Bringing all those lights back is gonna be a big job!
|
Blaze
|
Don't worry, guys. AJ and I can put these lights back super fast with Blazing Speed!
|
|
His boosters pop out and fire up.
|
Blaze
|
(to the viewer:) To give us Blazing Speed, say "Leeeeet's Blaze!"
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Leeeeeeet's Blaaaaaaaze!
|
|
The speed unleashes and he returns the lights; STEM song reprises.
|
AJ
|
Shine a light
|
Blaze
|
Light is energy that you can see
|
AJ
|
Light the night Make it brighter, just increase the energy

|
Blaze and AJ
|

|
|
Song ends; all the lights have been returned and the Monster Machines are back at the racetrack as the crowd cheers.
|
Zeg
|
Yeah!
|
Starla
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
Darington
|
Way to go, Blaze!
|
Gabby
|
Now all the lights are back where they belong!
|
AJ
|
Hang on, Blaze. There's still one more light left in the bag. (pulls out a single bulb)
|
Light Thief
|
Whoo-hoo! I'll get it!
|
|
She returns the bulb to one of the streetlights.
|
Light Thief
|
Whoopee! Ha ha, ooh!
|
Blaze
|
All right!
|
Darington
|
Come on, everybody! Let's go finish our race!
|
