SCRIPT:

PANEL 1: Pandemonium in the hallways: PROFESSOR STEAMHEAD, with his ZETRAMAN CRONIES (in school uniforms), and Jeremy and some of HIS pals run out of their classroom, where Ichi and Asrial apprise Steamhead of the situation.

STEAMHEAD: What WAS that noise?
ICHI: PROFESSOR STEAMHEAD!!... At the gym... these three ALIENS blasted through the ROOF!!...
ASRIAL: And the new GYM TEACHER, MISS LOCKHART, she's in there ALONE with them!!
STEAMHEAD: MEIN GOTT!!

PANEL 2: Tetsuko punches Tutu in the abdomen; Tutu doubles up in intense pain!

PANEL 3: Back to the hallway: Steamhead and his Zetramen watch from b.g. as Jeremy and his friends run past.

CAPTION: The males respond in the time-honored manner...
JEREMY AND CO.: RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

PANEL 4: Tetsuko clobbers Kludj across the face.

PANEL 5: Ichi opens her locker and takes out her sword; Asrial rushes up, her sword already in hand.

ICHI: Well, if the GUYS aren't going to do anything about it...
ASRIAL: ...Then it's up to the GIRLS!!

PANEL 6: Tetsuko has lifted Kludj over her head, and tosses him onto Drakk knocking him down.

PANEL 7: Prof. Steamhead gathers his Zetramen (now in full costume/armor) around him.

STEAMHEAD: The aliens are obviously a VANGUARD of an INVASION from OUTER SPACE! You know what to DO!!
ZETRAMEN: [Zetraman battle cry]

PANEL 8: Tetsuko executes an incredible midait kick; one outstretched fist punches Tutu in the face while the opposite leg, fully extended, clobbers both Kludj and Drakk in the chest!

COMMENTS: I couldn't remember exactly what the "Zetraman Battle Cry" was in Panel 7 (I know there was one; there's always a battle cry in anime and manga, whether it's "Bird GO!" from Gatchaman or "Honey Flash!" from Cutey Honey), so I was just going to look it up later when it was time to letter. Never got around to doing it...
