Yesterdays Heroes Once More Part Eight... Will The Doctor get his Number One Super Guy or Not ?

The Doctor and Samurai Jack had deduced that Penry Pooch, the mild manner Janitor of the Police Station was in fact the person they were looking for. But for now Hong King Phooey pretended that he had been contacted by Penry to meet with them.

The Doctor was amused by the disguise, but Jack was less amused by the situation. He had agreed to help the Doctor as this meant he could finally return to his own time and this time defeat Aku for good. Wasting time on this charade was futile.

HKP asked the Doctor what he wanted him for. The Doctor explained that a great Evil in the universe was threatening to destroy Earth, and with the Help of HKP the Doctor could stand a better chance in winning.

HKP shock his head, " I have responsibilities here " He said

"What!" cursed Samurai Jack.... " Anyone can Mop a floor " he continued.

"Me Mop Floors !" Laughed HKP.... "You must be mistaking me for someone else !"

Samurai Jack drew his Katana, whilst HKP struck a defensively  strange pose.

"No!" shouted the Doctor trying avoid yet more pointless conflict.

"Look, dear boy" said the Doctor said to HKP... "We know your little secret, and we are willing to keep it if you help us" 

The Doctor knew that he would never divulge Penry Pooch's secret identity.... but did HKP  know this.

"OK !" said HKP, "I will help you, but only because my friend Penry wanted me too" he continued.

The Doctor winkled at Jack, who just rolled his eyes  even more, but did re house his weapon once more.

HKP continued... " Do I need to get out my Phooey Mobil ? " and went on to say " It's a fantastic machine. I can travel on road, on water even in the air !" HKP boasted

"No need, we have our own mode of unique transport " Said the Doctor and  started to lead HKP and Jack down to the empty cell block where he had landed the Tardis.

"I knew it " cried HKP, "You do work for the Police !"

HKP has spotted that over the door of the strange Blue Box was the wording Police Public Call Box

"Not exactly" smiled The Doctor, " But from time to time they have worked with me" he continued.

"Wonderful !" shouted HKP and gave the Doctor an unexpected Hi Five !

The Doctor took out his key, and undid the  Door Lock..... " Please step in " The Doctor said to HKP

HKP pushed opened the door......... "Wow", said HKP.... and continued "its so much bigger on the inside. " "It must take a lot of work to keep clean" he continued giving The Doctor a High Five.

Yes it is, and does  laughed the Doctor as he and Jack followed HKP through the Door.

Within seconds the Tardis had disappeared, just as spot rounded the corner with HKP book of Kung Fu....


Where and who was next on the Doctor's wish list.

Find out next time

and Until then ENJOY.

YESTERDAYS HEROES ONCE MORE.... Part Seven The Janitor becomes the Hero

As Penry the Janitor sat on the floor of his office come apartment trying to catch his breath, he knew that very soon the stranger called

The Doctor and his Japanese friend would find him. And would they expose his big secret ?

So he stood up and walked over to the filing cabinet ..........and ....

In the middle of his transformation the cabinet got stuck as usual.... except this time there was no Spot to help him escape.......   but after a quick kick the cabinet drawer opened and out Popped HONG KONG PHOOEY  himself.

Meanwhile... a couple of minutes before hand, The Doctor and Sam had seen Penry running into a room marked Janitor's Office.    

"Now we have him" Said Samurai Jack reaching yet again for his Katana

" Put if away " said the Doctor " We want to recruit him, NOT decapitate Him !

Jack heeded this instruction, and then ............

Out Popped Hong Kong Phooey

"Hi , I'm Hong Kong Phooey !....I hear you have been looking for me ? " said the Number One Super Guy.

The Doctor looked over to Jack and smiled.... whilst Jack let out a deep growl.

Next Time we will find out if The Doctor has made a new friend or new enemy ?

Until Then ...... ENJOY !

Yesterdays Heroes Once More Part Six.... Looking for a Hero

The Tardis had now landed in the location of the Next Hero that The Doctor wanted to add to his team. The Grand Master who did not always play fair had downloaded information of how to locate various individuals that would and could be of use to his opponent.  Added to this the Tardis could now travel between dimensions, an ability not available to the machine or the Time Lords in general.

The Doctor knew that the Grand Master liked to play a good game, even if he did not always seem that way.

Opening the Tardis door The Doctor looked out and saw that they had materialised inside a jail cell. From the location detector inside the Tardis The Doctor knew that he was in Los Angeles in the year 1974. This was planet Earth, but one that existed in the ABC Universe.

Seeing that the coast was clear, The Time Lord and his Samurai  friend stepped out.

The Doctor had tried to convince Samurai Jack to leave his trusty Katana inside the Tardis, but Jack refused.

"Just be careful !" Said the Doctor, and continued " You Don't Want to end up cutting anyone with that !"

Jack just frowned.  He was a warrior, a true Samurai.... He went nowhere without his Katana . As he had told The Doctor, his Katana was once owned by the Emperor of Japan. It had been forged by three ancient Gods Odin,  The All-Father of Asgard, Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun  and Rama, The Hindu Deity and Avatar of The God Vishnu . This weapon had been forged to destroy Aku, and was formed to contain the Emperor's power of Righteousness. The Katana could only be used for good, and could not harm an innocent even if used by an Evil person.... But the Doctor still thought it was too sharp and dangerous to carry around in public.

"Ok" said The Doctor, "lets look down there !" pointing at the exit to the Cell Block.

The Two set set off exploring the Police Station.   The place seemed empty of any Criminals or Police Officers either. Maybe crime was non existent on this Earth thought the Doctor. They had so far only observed two people.
An overweight Sargent  called Flint, and an over excitable lady called Rosemary, who answered the telephones.   Jack had spotted a stripey Cat, and had frightened it away by waving his Katana at it.

Then turning the corner, the two heard the noise of someone humming a tune. Up ahead inside yet another room full of empty Cell they saw ........

The Strange Dog Creature was too engrossed in his cleaning to hear them approach.

"Hello" called The Doctor....  The strange creature froze, and slowly turned around.

As Sam and The Doctor raced forward, the stranger growled and picked up his mop and barked.
" I have a Mop, and I am not afraid to use it !

Jack reached for his Katana, but the Doctor tried to calm the situation.

"I hope we did not startle you Old Boy, but we are looked for someone !"  said the Doctor

"A Hero of Great Power!" snarled Jack

"My name is The Doctor, and this is my colleague Jack "  , " What is your name ? "continued The Time Lord, still trying to stop Jack and the stranger from entering into a battle.

" My name is Penrod Pooch, but people call me Penry. I am the Janitor here "  replied the not so strange, stranger.

"  We are both Pleased to meet you Penry " said the Doctor hoping that Jack would release his grasp on his Katana.

Penry stopped pointing his Mop in an aggressive manor , and Jack placed his Katana back into its scabbard.

The Doctor continued, " From our information, we believe that located inside this building is a person who can help us "

Jack pipped up " So far we have seen a Crazy Woman who talks to herself, an  angry Fat Man and You !"

"So Who is this Super Hero" said the Doctor rubbing  his head. " Sarge ? Rosemary the Telephone  Operator ? or could it be YOU ! "

" WHO ME !" said Penry, " I just a mild mannered Janitor....." as he said it, Penry thrust his Mop into The Doctors hand and ran out of the Cell Block.

"After Him !" shouted The Doctor.

As Jack and The Doctor reached the hallway they saw Penry vanish around the corner.

" There he is, don't let him get away " panted The Doctor.

As Penry knew the layout of the Police Station like the Back of His Paw, it did not take him long to find sanctuary in his own office.

As he entered his office, which was also his  home, he quickly locked the door, and then clasped onto the floor panting.

Penry knew it would not be long before the two strangers found him.... was this the end ? would his secret be reviled ?  What would happen to him ?


Find out next Time...


Until then    ENJOY !

Yesterdays Heroes Once More... Part Four A Samurai Called JACK

The Doctor had brought his Tardis to Japan. Where and a what time period he was unsure. The Grand Master had allowed the Doctor the ability to travel not just through out time and space, but into alternative universes too.

This meant not did the Tardis now have the ability to travel to any planet, world or time period, it also had the ability to locate actual people too. Thus making the Doctor's job of recruiting "his" team not as difficult.

Locating people was the easy bit, but getting them to aid him may turn out to be more difficult.

Arriving in the correct time and place, the Doctor awaited the arrival of his first recruit.

The first person the Doctor tried to recruit was a young Japanese Samurai who was know simply as Jack. Who had been born in ancient Japan and had undertaken the task of ridding the country of an evil demon called Aku.

Armed only with his magic - enchanted Katana (sword) which appeared to be able to slice through virtually anything, Jack had battled the The Demon Aku many times, but Aku had always been able to escape at the last moment. However, in the last battle Sam had with Aku, Sam was on the verge of final victory, but Aku managed to caste one last spell that transported Jack into the far future.

In this future Jack found out that Aku had only just survived their encounter, and in the 1000's of years since had regained his power and now ruled the entire world. Aku then challenged Jack to defeat him again. As Jack wondered the future world, he looked for ways of returning to his own time. As he believed that Aku would be easier defeated in the past as he had been much less powerful back then .

AKU continues to torment Samurai Jack

As Samurai Jack continued his lonely quest he passed a strange Blue Box.

Jack on his Quest to find a way back home

Jack passes the Strange Blue Box

and continues on his quest

Jack hears the sound of a Door opening

Jack Prepares for Battle

The Doctor introduces himself.

The Doctor told Jack that if he helped him in his up coming battle with the Grand Master, he would use his Time Machine to return Jack to his correct time and place.

Jack was not at first  convinced by this strangely dressed "wizard" but once the Doctor explained that he knew where Aku was, Jack agreed to help.  The two entered the Tardis  together.


Next Time another recruit...


Until Then ENJOY !!!!!

TAKING MY TARDIS FOR A LITTLE SPIN

 Here is another short animation of my Tardis in space. This is my third version. Very old School animation.... I hope you enjoy it.


Until Next Time    ENJOY !

Yesterdays Heroes Once More Part Three..... The Recruitment of Good

The challenge had been set, Unless The Doctor agreed to undertake another of the Grand Masters games, his friend and companion Jamie would die.

All the Doctor had to now was to assemble his team to take on those that The Grand Master had assembled. These beings of Evil would be looking at the Destruction of Earth, so the Doctor knew had had to pick well.

But as the Doctor pondered his next move the Grand Master disappeared and the Tardis sprang into life. The Time Rota began to move up and down..... The Tardis was travelling but to where, or when ?

As far as his race the Time Lords knew, there was only one true universe. And as such believed travel into alternative realms of existent was not possible. However, from past association with The Grand Master, The Doctor knew that there was a Multi-Verse of different universes, but travel between was not possible from the Universe he and the Time Lords inhabited.

The Grand Master had made it possible for the Doctors Tardis to travel through the Multi-verse the last time he had played a Game with the Doctor. He could now venture into wonderful lands that were occupied by characters  that only were believed to be fictional or from folk law and fantasy.  A place where heroes from books really lived and breathed.

The Grand Master had  furnished the Doctors Tardis with a full set of coordinates so that it could travel through the Multi-Verse thus allowing the Doctor to pick a team of players for himself. This made the Game more fair and equalled the odds. This ability to travel throughout the different realms was a temporary measure, and after the game the Tardis would be stripped of the ability to move into and between this Multi-verse of Universes. Plus any memory that the Doctor had of this would also be erased. This is why the Doctor did not at first recognise the Grand Master when he first met him.

The Doctor had been shown the players on The Grand Masters' team, and knew who they were and what they could do. This gave the Doctor a chance to match like for like.  All he had to do now is find the ideal person or persons, who could help him defeat the  Grand Master team.

Team Evil..... a little taster

Some familiar faces amongst the Grand Master's Team of Evil

His first stop would be  to find a time displaced Japanese warrior, with a superb  set of fighting skills.  Who himself was on the track of an ancient  Evil shape shifting demon .....

Here is a Clue to who it will be ?

Until then Enjoy

A little taste of my Old School Animation .....

One of my first tries at doing a video animation.   As I have no knowledge of how to do this properly, I hope this stop action short is appreciated
