Captain Caveman in

Cavey Can Do It!

By Sasha Zarya Nexus

In our last episode things were looking bad for Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. Taffy’s last “Daffy Taffy Plan” backfired and Dr Xeorgo had Cavey knocked out and hooked up to his brain transfer machine without his super powered club. Dr Xeogo was monologing, revealing, his plans for world domination. He wanted to use the power of Captain Caveman guided by his intellect without anything to stand in his way.

The Teen Angels huddled together with Dee Dee holding the super powered club that she had retrieved. Next to them was the pit trap that Cavey had made that was supposed to capture the bad guys.

“Zowie!” Exclaimed Taffy as she flipped her beautiful blonde hair for emphasis.

Dee Dee interrupted her “ But Taffy, you can’t talk Cavey into doing something cause your last plan trapped him. Now, this is what we’ll do….”

Taffy, Brenda and Cavey’s bird side kick from within the club listened intently to Dee Dee’s plan.

First, Dee Dee pushed Brenda into view holding a club. Upon seeing the club, Dr Xeorgo ceased his preparations for the mind transfer and started toward Brenda who ran outside the lab toward the trap.

Dr Xeorgo shouted with delight, “Once I have the club, All the powers of Captain Caveman will be mine."

Brenda ran, holding the club, and screaming at the top of her lungs, “Aaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee!”

Once Brenda and Dr Xeorgo had left the laboratory, Dee Dee and Taffy snuck into the lab. Dee Dee went over to the massive control panel where she saw on the instruments that the machine had been primed and was only waiting for Dr Xeorgo’s return. Taffy had Captain Caveman’s club and her part in the plan was to walk up onto the brain transfer platform on the side opposite Cavey and reach the club across into his hand so that he could use it to make his escape.

Call it a twist of fate that at the most inopportune time, Taffy’s high heels caught in the machine’s workings and propelled her into the seat and launching Captain Caveman’s club into the air.

Fortunately, Dee Dee had prepared for this contingency and shouted “Uma blaga!” to Cavey’s bird side kick within the club which opened to allow the bird to escape and for the club to be flown so that it shorted out the electrical bridge between the two captives of the machine.

There was a boom as most of the energy was grounded into the club and negating the transfer. Both Cavey and Taffy had a look of piercing intellect in their eyes.

Cavey spoke in clear precise English, “ I’m still here in my body but my mind is freer than it has ever been before”

Likewise Taffy spoke in a very mature way, “I’m in my body too, and with my mind the way it is the possibilities are endless.”

Dee Dee directed Brenda to help Taffy out of the device while Dee Dee reached up for the club with some rubber gloves and placed it in Cavey’s hands. Cavey broke his bonds and was free.

All 4 of them gathered in front of the machine. It felt like Cavey and Taffy had things that they needed to say to each other, So Dee Dee prompted them, “Cavey what is it that you need to say to Taffy now that you can?”

Cavey again spoke in an intelligent and refined voice and took hold of Taffy’s hands and faced her looking her in the eyes, “Taffy, I never fell for any of your plans. I did it for you. You see you are my role model and everything I want to be. Now that I can speak my mind I can tell you that I have always been a beautiful woman inside. Taffy, you and the Teen Angels have made my life worthwhile with your friendship.”

Taffy replied, “Oh Cavey! I took advantage of you because you had what I wanted to be. Inside I am a hunky man trapped in this blonde bombshell body.”

Her eyes lit up, “Zowie! Are you ready for one last daffy taffy plan?”

This time the other three replied in unison with a knowing, “Yes”

“Cavey would you like to go back to that machine and have Dee Dee trade us once.”, asked Taffy sincerely.

Cavey looked into Taffy’s eyes and said, “I would like that very much, Taffy.”

He looked to Brenda and handed her his super powered club, “Could you please keep this safe till its over, Brenda.”

Brenda replied,” I can do that!”

The group gathered for a group hug, knowing that afterward things would not be quite the same but it would be right.

Dee Dee took control of the operation,” Brenda, sweetie please stand clear, Cavey and Taffy please take your places and get strapped in.”

Cavey and Taffy took their places and were secured in place while Dee Dee built up power for the transfer. Dee Dee looked over the board and could not find any anomalies in the machine.

" I think this is gonna work. When the charge was grounded out it seemed to protect the machine. We’re almost ready! Countdown to transfer. 5…4… 3… 2… 1… Contact!”

The machine worked in a way that with the massive amounts of electricity in the air was unexpected. Instead of any parts of their body's being electrified, one could see the astral body of a beautiful woman rising from Captain Caveman and an astral body of a hunky man rising from Taffy’s body. The two astral bodies disappeared into their new bodies. Both occupants opened their eyes and smiled with contentment. Brenda handed the super powered club to the new Captain Caveman who grabbed it lovingly.

Dee Dee looked up in alarm as the completion of the process set off a screeching whine that was raising in pitch.

“Its gonna blow! Cavey or Taffy oh whoever. Get us out of here.”

The new Captain Caveman flew into action propelled by his super powered club. He scooped up Taffy , Brenda and Dee Dee in turn and flew out of the lab with a resounding, "Captain CAAAAAAAVEMAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!!"

The lab exploded with a loud Kablooooom while they were all well clear safe and sound and the new superhero took them all down for a perfect landing.

Dee Dee gave the new hero a hug, “Congratulations on your first rescue! I think its time you were promoted to Admiral!” The new teen angels giggled in unison.

He smiled at the girls and said, “ Admiral Caveman, just doesn't do it for me. When it is just us though I would like to be known as Martin.”

The Teen Angels wrapped Martin in a big group hug and agreed in unison,” Martin, it is!”

The new Taffy caught their attention and spoke, “ I don’t care too much for the nickname Taffy, I’d like to be called Amanda, my new real name if that is OK with you all.”

They gathered in a group hug where they all assented to her being Amanda in their own way with the girls whispering and with Martin saying, “ I have a feeling you are going to be an amazing, Amanda!”

Once they had flown back to their cave home, Amanda was quick to retreat from the group to the privacy of her room muttering something about taking inventory. Amanda’s body craved banana so she quickly peeled it and in a reflex action it tumbled on the floor behind her.

Martin heard the word inventory and knowingly made his own way towards his room. Not paying attention, Martin slipped and did a summersault in the air before landing on his tush as he uttered a loud, “Unga bunga!" Realizing what she had done, Amanda came back for Martin and helped him up. Both of them made an even hastier retreat to their rooms.

Dee Dee grinned and said,” The more things change, the more they stay the same.!”

*+++++=====+++++*

A month later things had finally settled down and both Martin and Amanda had made the adjustments to cope with their new bodies. Both Brenda and Dee Dee were so consumed with helping their two friends that together they had decided to refer any trouble which came their way to the Teen Trouble Alert.Both of their friends were now so relaxed in their new selves that they had requested to be called Cavey and Taffy. However as the day approached when they would once again pursue their passion for solving mysteries, Taffy became more and more depressed.

"Dee Dee, I'm worried for Taffy. She's so low that even an all day shopping trip at the mall with us followed by a pajama party doesn't seem to bring her out of it.

“What could it be?”

“Well I guess we could ask her!”

“Now why couldn’t I think of that? I’m glad you are so smart Dee Dee! Lets go ask her now.”

The two girls found Taffy taking joy in doing her makeup while looking stunning in a new micro mini dress that she had just bought.  However when she looked up and saw the other Teen Angels, her smile turned to a frown.

“Hi girls! Is today the day that we start solving mysteries and fighting crime again?”

“Why does that make you so sad, Taffy?  I can tell that you are still happy to be a teen aged girl.  Don’t you like us going out together anymore?”

“Come here, Brenda and Dee Dee!  I love you girls! I love being part of the Teen Angels!  I don’t know how I’ll fit into the group now.”

"You're our leader, Taffy. Brenda is so lucky in finding clues even though at other times her luck is bad and she has accidents. I'm smart about facts and putting things together but I'm blind to some common sense things. Together we have strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses since we cooperate with and care for each other."

“We don’t need any more Daffy Taffy Plans since they happened before just because Cavey and I used to envy each other’s bodies.”

“Then you can make JiffyTaffy Plans instead.  You plan so quickly anyway and now that you don’t want to pick on Cavey, they’ll be even better.” 

“I guess I could do that! It’s just …”

“Just what Taffy?”

“I miss having super powers.  A girl can still be feminine and have superpowers, can’t she?”

“Of course Taffy, You know that Wonder Woman is just as powerful in her own way as Superman.  It’s just that because she’s a woman that the power is expressed differently.”

“The Green Lantern of Earth and that girl Green Lantern from the next sector have the same power but the way that they use it is different”

“I guess you are right.  Would it mess up our team if I had super powers too? “

“Well if they were the same kind of powers as Cavey, then he might feel like he wasn’t needed anymore and leave us.”

“You are right! Men’s ego’s are so fragile and I’d never want to hurt Cavey.  What kind of super power could I get to add to the group without causing trouble?”

“You could be our ‘Mata Hari’, if you had some way to disguise yourself as other people.  You are a wonderful actress and you even know how to act like a guy even if you have never really been one.” 

“I could do that! Do you think maybe I could have some kind of defensive power for just in case Cavey has a power failure?”

“Yeah something so that my tushy doesn’t have to be bruised when I fall on it, Dee Dee!”

“What if you could project a force field around us?  Cavey would still feel needed and we could have our bottoms protected if we fell as well.”

“That would be awesome, Dee Dee! So how would I become a mistress of disguise who has a force field?”

“The Wonder Twins helped Sorceress get her powers.  Maybe they could help you as well.  It should be easy since before you switched bodies you had super powers “

“I’ll call the Teen Trouble Alert then!”

"Hall of Justice.  Hang up and call 911 if you need immediate help.  Press 1 for natural disasters, 2 for Teens in Trouble, 3 for .."

Twerp!  "You've reached the Teen Trouble Alert queue.  Please leave a message about your problem after the tone"  Beep!

"This is Brenda of the Teen Angels at Captain Caveman’s Secret Cave. My friend Taffy is tormented by the fact that she used to have super powers but she doesn’t anymore from switching with Cavey using Dr Xeorgo’s mind transfer machine.  Please send help!"  She let out a sigh of relief, wondering when the Wonder Twins would get there.

“Now all we have to do is wait.”

While the Teen Angels were waiting, they brought Cavey up to date on their plan to help Taffy.  Cavey agreed that it was the best way to help Taffy and thanked them for their concern for him.  They had gathered by the cave’s opening to wait for the Wonder Twins and two large eagles swooped out of the sky and landed before them.   

 They touched wingtips and chanted, “Wonder Twins Powers, Deactivate!”

With a flash the Wonder Twins, Jan and Zayna, stood before them. 

“I’m Jan and this is my sister Zayna.  We are answering the Teen Trouble Alert.  Brenda, you told us that your friend Taffy was tormented because she lost her superpowers when their bodies were swapped using Dr Xeorgo’s mind transfer machine.”

“This is Dee Dee, Taffy and Cavey.  We know that somehow you helped Sorceress get her super powers and Dee Dee thought that if Taffy could gain the power to disguise herself and to control a force field that Taffy would be able to help us along with Cavey.”

“The way that we helped Sorceress didn’t work out too well for us, but perhaps Sorceress herself could find a way to help Taffy.  I’ll call her.”

“Wonder Twins to Sorceress.  Please respond.”

“Hi Jan! How can I help? “

“Taffy lost her superpowers when their mind swap fixed their genders.  They thought that we could help her gain superpowers like you once did.  I explained that what we did caused problems.  Could you help Taffy?”

“I’ll be right there.  So Mote It Be!”

Sorceress appeared in a flash of light and stood with them. 

“Hi Wonder Twins, Teen Angels and Captain Caveman!  I’ll try to help you Taffy.  I gained my superpowers in short by becoming Exxorian like the Wonder Twins. In order for you to get superpowers, I’d have to change you enough so that you would gain them.  What kind of powers were you thinking of gaining?”

“Sorceress, I’d like to be able to disguise myself at will and also control a force field.”

“I’ll scan you, Taffy.   Interesting!  You have some angel DNA already in your body.   If I can bring that out in the right way, you could gain a super power of disguise and having a force field.  I’ll need the Wonder Twin’s help to provide some of the power for your transformation.  Taffy, please join hands with Jan, Zayna and I and we will begin.”

The girls all joined hands and a glow grew from dim to glaringly bright around Taffy.  When it seemed like the glow could not get any brighter, Sorceress called out, “So Mote It Be!”  Suddenly the even brighter light flash faded from Taffy.  The girls all dropped hands and Taffy did not look any different.  She recovered from the shock of being transformed quickly and was ready to ask Sorceress a question.

“Is it over? Do I have my powers now?”

“You should Taffy.  Imagine yourself looking like Jan and see what happens.”

All of a sudden, in Taffy’s place was a third Wonder Twin who was obviously a copy of Jan since she had a J on her uniform just like Jan’s. 

“How’s this?” It was Taffy speaking only it came out in Jan’s voice.

“Very good, Taffy.  You aren’t really Jan but you look like her.   The illusion is so complete no ordinary person could tell the difference.  It’s starting to rain outside.  Why don’t you go out and try to use your force field.”

Taffy came outside after changing back to herself.  As she left the shelter of the cave entrance, she started her force field.  The rain was blowing all around her but she was dry inside the force field.

“Okay! Woo Hoo! It works! Thank you, Sorceress.  Thank you, Wonder Twins.”

“You are welcome, Taffy.  How do you feel now?”

“I feel wonderful.  Look out crooks! Here comes Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels to foil your plans.”

“Guess that’s all the help you need then.  Good bye Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.  Wonder Twins would you like a lift back to the Hall of Justice.”

“Love one, Sorceress!  Thank you! Bye all!”

“So Mote It Be!”

Sorceress and the Wonder Twins vanished in a flash of bright light leaving Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels to enjoy the shower protected by Taffy’s force field.

And all was well, that is until the next time trouble came their way.
