Bana, once the most glorious planet in all of the universe,
Ruled by a beloved king and queen.
Under their rule, Bana was a paradise.
But darkness took hold.
The king's envious brother, Zhong, unleashed the space Kraken...
an ancient beast with the power to create black holes.
Bana was shattered to pieces.
The king and those loyal to him were sucked into the Kraken slick...
along with your parents.
And since that faithful day, Zhong has ruled what remains of Bana
with an iron fist enslaving everyone except for...
Bananny?
- Bananny? - Except for...
Except for me, Chunk and Vix. You brought the three of us here as kids.
And we've been hiding ever since. Down here in an underground bunker.
When the Kraken let loose its slick, most of Bana was shattered into thousands of pieces called shards.
Some shards disappeared into the slick, but others were left behind.
The furthest was used as a garbage dump, and that's were we live.
Under a giant pile of trash.
Stealing from Zhong just to get by.
The end.
Good night, Bananny. Have a good sleep.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Yup, the big one three.
That's like a thousand in roaches year isn't it?
Shard, sweet shard.
- Hey, how'd it go? - Hey, buddy!
We scored big time. We snagged...
a gravity module of the back of Zhong's perimeter patrol unit.
- Just what I need to finish that PEC! - PEC?
Polaron Energy Converter. Oh so cool. I told you his clowns almost caught...
but Vix lost them in a warp chase through a shard field. It was craz--
Do as am. Well, it was crazy boring.
I mean, gravity module.. Who likes that stuff? Ah..right?
- Ha, what's this? - No..no..nothing. Just..just junk.
Ah, careful with that. Seriously, Spark. Take it easy. You gonna..
ah hurt somebody.
Aren't you supposed to be in bed?
After an awesome birthday, you guys leaving me
home alone to stare at the stars with the roaches?
I guess I was just too excited to sleep.
Sorry, Spark. Happy birthday.
I'm not a kid anymore, I should be going on missions with you guys.
Maybe next year.
I've been sitting on this rock for 13 years,
there's gotta be more out there for me.
- Like a purpose. - I believe in you buddy. I do.
And I know Vix does. In her irritated "never-gonna-admit" kind of way.
You just gotta prove to her that you're ready for more responsibility.
How?
All clear!
I hope you're hungry, because you're about to taste bitter defeat.
Time to kick some asteroid.
- Sorry, Chunk. - Yeah, it's okay buddy.
Are you hungry now? Cause you just got served.
Combat is focus, Spark. You have to find your centre.
Your body's just flailing all over the place.
Focus!
I think I just pulled a muscle.. In my entire body.
Let me give you a hand there, Sparkster.
Cool huh?
I finished that holographic replicator I was working on.
It's not fair. My throat's sore, I didn't eat breakfast. I've a..
I gotta-- Hey, you know what? You're cheating!
- That's what it is. - No one's cheating, Spark.
- I just don't think you're old enough yet. - I'm a thousand in roach years!
We'll keep that in mind when we go to a war with the bugs.
Why is he acting like this?
Well, he's undergoing major myelination in synaptic pruning...
in orbital front of cortex in excited neural transmit.
All of which have massive implications on risk-taking and vulnerability to boredom.
- What? - Ya. He's a teenager.
Yes.. yes...
A perfect likeness!
Permission to proceed with the full-scale build.
You know, they called my brother many things...
Selfless ruler...
Empathetic king...
Loving monarch...
But they never called him..
...destroyer of planet.
Ooh, that's good. That's really...
What? lowercase?
Small? What are you saying?
Nothing. It was an oversight, Your Imperial Malevolency. I swear.
A small oversight? Is that it? You think I'm small?
- Oh no, Your Imperial-- - What?
What's wrong with being small? Is something...
wrong with that? - Nothing at all.
Okay, so I am small then.
I seem small to you. That's what you saying?
Yes. Aah.. I mean no. I mean I wanna thinks right away..
Koko!
I regret nothing!
Third artist this week.
Oh milady! Do I have a surprise for you.
Not another jaywalker's head on a pike.
No no. Much better than that. Much better.
Ha? What do you think?
It has a much better ring to it, doesn't it? Destroyer of planets.
You going to destroy another planet?
Behold!
- I found another Kraken finder. - How?
Let's just say 13 years of search minions. Searching and...
minioning has finally paid off. It's been exhausting for me.
- Really? - What's exactly are you planning?
Nothing much. Just finding the Kraken,
destroying another planet...
and having the rest of the universe bow before me in fear!
That's all. Zhong will rule all!
Why Koko laugh?
The rogue space prodigy Spark has...
demolished every foe that dares cross his path.
Until he comes face to face with pure evil in ape-like form.
Zhong, you tore this planet apart. You took my parents.
I just have one thing to say to you, your rule is over!
Woo.. almost took your head off there, Floyd.
You're lucky I have cat-like reflexes.
You guys really love bananas huh?
So, what do you think? Do you think I'm ready?
One day I'll show them. I'll show everyone.
Adventure's overrated, dear.
Yeah.. sure.
How about a glass of nice, warm milk? Just how you like it.
Can I have some of those cookies? You know the ones with the sprinkles on top?
Of course you can, snookums.
"Vix, I realize the risk, but we must meet immediately."
"These instructions will lead you to a rendezvous point.
Follow them. This is of the utmost importance."
What is this? Soap?
- Hey guys! beautiful day huh? - Hey buddy!
Man you must be really tired after an all-night...
mission like that, you should get some sleep.
I'm just gonna work on those pointers you gave me the other day. You know...
Focusing, thinking, exfoliating, whatever. Okay. Bye bye.
Who put that there? Am I right?
What's gotten into him?
Okay, Bananastar. Engage silent mode and set course for Bana.
- Please push the on button. - On button? right..okay...
On button.
Thanks, Floyd. Hey, you're not supposed to be here.
You got a point.
Here we go.
The royal palace? Okay, I was not expecting this.
So the access point is...
sewer. That really stinks.
Okay, here we go.
Throwing in three.. two.. one..
Hey chimps! Who let you out of zoo?
Hey there banana-breath!
You wanna see a magic trick?
"Press the green banana"? What?
Hey guys! Royal plumber here..
Those pipes are gonna have to be replaced. I think Zhong's not getting enough fibre.
If you know what I mean.
Get him!
Intruder alert! Seal all halls on 20.
Press the green banana!
Okay, you got me. Please don't shoot.
It's just a door handle.
Why are you here? Where are Vix and Chunk?
They were busy.. so I came instead.
- I told them never.. - Excuse me, Your Queenliness.
Wait. You're the queen? Zhong's queen? You sent for Vix and Chunk?
I don't understand.
Sorry to disturb you, milady.
And might I say you look lovely this evening.
- No, get on with it. - Right, okay.
There's been a breach, so we gonna have to search your room.
Zhong's orders. Can we come in?
You can get lost.
We have very little time. Here, take this.
- What is it? - A Kraken finder.
Queen?
Give it to Vix and Chunk. Hide it and make sure it's never found.
- We gonna have to-- - The fate of the universe depends on you.
We're coming in. So sorry. Please don't hit us.
I don't get it. You're supposed to be on Zhong's side.
Things aren't always what they seem, Spark
- How dare you interrupt my bath. - Oh so sorry, Your Queenliness.
Listen your imbeciles.
You will escort this handmaiden outside the castle grounds and ask no question...
you will sweep the castle grounds twice, give...
yourself 40 lashes and bring me a fruit bowl.
- It's that clear? - Oh very much. - Yes, indeed.
If you do not follow these royal commands,
your insolences will be reported to Zhong.
Don't ask.
Wait until you see this, Floyd. It's the fate of the universe.
It will give Zhong ultimate power but...
in the right hands, maybe it can take that power away.
Maybe..maybe that person could do to Zhong what Zhong did to all of Bana.
Let's go find us a Kraken. Bananastar, take us into deep space.
- Please push the on button. - Okay, got it.
Okay, Kraken finder. Find us the Kraken.
Okay, anytime now. Let's go.
It didn't come with instructions.
Oh no!
No, Mr. Mangoise needs banana cream.
Chuck, wake up!
- Penn ate the pot stickers? - Spark when to the palace. He...
has the Kraken finder. - Spark ate the pot stickers?
To the Kraken.
Come on, Kraken!
Kraken! What's it gonna take to get you working?
So the little Kraken finder said "I think I can, I think I can".
Clear!
Stupid rock!
Koko! My Kraken finder's been stolen.
You search every inch of every shard in the system until you find it.
If you come back empty-handed, Smack-- for you! Got it?
Koko should have taken modelling job.
What's that rattling? Bananastar, run a diagnostic.
All systems normal, source of disruption located on deck.
- On deck? Where? - Behind you.
Yes.. yes!
Kraken, here I come!
Must be getting close.
In there?
- Okay. Bananastar, take us in. - Taking us in.
- Activate sonar. - Activating sonar.
Whatever that is. It's big.
It's right on top of us.
Huuu.. oh boy!
For a minute there, I thought we found the thing and I was like...
maybe this wasn't such a great idea.
Reverse thruster!
I'm sorry I don't understand the "seeker duster".
Passive under-worth!
Switching guide bay for "abrasive maneuver".
I think.. I think it likes you, Bananastar.
This is very awkward for me.
You are lot bigger than I thought. Tractor beams are not gonna work on you.
- Bananastar, set course for home. - Setting course for garbage shard.
Slowly.
I can't believe it! I did it! I did it!
You stay there girl.
I'm about to give my friends the surprise of a lifetime.
What?
No!
Vix! Chunk!
Bananny!
- Spark, they took Vix and Chunk. - Who?
How about one last glass of...
warm milk.
No!
No! no no no!
Boss going to be happy.
So you and Zimtron still coming over for dinner?
- Her name is Gort. - Right, sorry.
Does she have any food allergies? - Pineapple gives her gas.
- What have I done? - You messed up big time is what you did.
Vix! Chunk!
- How could you.. - I'm sorry.
I don't think you understand what you...
Your kingpin, super intending high priestess The Mighty Zhong!
Oh boy.
Can you smell that? That's the stench of garbage.
Koko found them on the garbage shard. Imagine that.
They actually live on that dung heap in our filth.
And yet somehow they managed to survive and steal from me!
Thank you... Spark is it?
For saving me the effort of capturing the Kraken and...
delivering it to my doorstep free of charge.
The last time I used the Kraken, I accidentally tore this planet apart.
I lost it soon after.
They're difficult to trade. So stubborn.
You can't be like "Kraken, sit. Sit, Kraken. Stay!"
They don't listen.
So I just use a torturous force field instead.
With the press of a button, voila! Instant Kraken--
It's like having a world-destroying weapon at your fingertips.
And three days from now...
I'll be using it to destroy another planet.
Here comes my first test subject now.
- The garbage shard.
It's time to take out the trash.
No!
We're alive. The slick must've acted like a wormhole.
- So that means.. - That means we could be anywhere.
Happy now? You got what you wanted right?
- Adventure? You're a real hero. - I'm sorry.
Sorry? Are you going to apologize to the planet...
that's about to be destroyed because of you?
You're going to apologize to the entire...
universe for handing it over to Zhong, are you?
Go ahead. I'm sure that will help.
I'm sure that will make everything just fine.
I was on your side.
Vix, wait up!
Vix!
We should've told him.
I wanted to tell him. Everyday for the past 13 years I've wanted to.
Me too.
This is my fault.
I've failed.
We both did.
- We weren't trained for this. - We're certainly weren't.
Let's tell him.
Spark?
Spark!
The garbage shard.
Floyd! Floyd, you made it!
It's so good to see a friendly face.
What?
I come in peace.
Spark!
- What's that sound? - What's that?
Well I did sneak a couple of candy bars after lunch. Haha!
Oh. That sound.
What do we have here? Where have you come from, boy?
- Through a Kraken slick? - A Kraken slick? That's impossible!
Oh, sir? We came through a Kraken slick.
Oh right. You got a point then.
- How'd you end up in a slick? - I was thrown in?
- By who? - His name was.. Zhong.
Zhong?
- You know him? - He tore our planet apart.
- This must be a part of Bana. - Aye..
- I can't believe it. I'm from Bana. - It still exists?
Yes. Well.. what's left of it does. And it's ruled by Zhong.
That cretin.
Come with us. I want to hear more.
I was captain of the Royal Guard. The soldiers you met were my men.
Or what's left of them. This is where we've lived for the past...
- 13 years. - Has it been that..
- Feels like an eternity. - It's like a thousand in roach years.
Don't worry about the lightning.
It strikes randomly. You'll get used to it. I don't even feel it.
See? It's nothing.
- Now would somebody please tell me who I am? - You're the captain.
- And what are these? - Those are your hands.
Smashing.
Even if the ship worked, it would take lifetimes to fly back.
No. you are officially lost in space, my boy.
- Roasted space rat? - No, thanks.
I'm telling you this is as good as it gets.
Yup, this is about as far from everything as anyone has ever been.
And I can tell you right now that...
- What? - Your hand.. it's...
- It's a birthmark. - But it can't be.
- Don't you realize what this is? - Ahh.. birthmark?
The seal of the royal family.
Only those in its bloodline are born with the mark.
Your Royal Highness.
I never dared hope.
The last I saw of you was the Queen instructing Bananny to spirit you away...
to some remote shard until the day arrived when fate would beckon.
You know Bananny?
If the king is my father, that means my mother is..
He's your son?
- No! - I thought he was dead.
Owww.. why do you have such good aim?
I'm beginning to think this isn't working out between us.
Do you really not get how much I hate you? And always have.
I thought that's just what couples did.
Put her in solitary confinement until I have a Kraken slick to throw her into.
Nothing happened here.
During the first few years here, things were...
tough and the storms were vicious.
There was a tremendous flood that wiped out our entire village.
Your father worked tirelessly to get everyone to safety.
And just as he lifted the last person on to one of the rafts.
Lightning struck the water..
He was the bravest, most selfless monkey I've ever known.
He gave everything for his people...
including his life.
I wager you'd like some privacy.
This was not supposed to happen, Dad.
I was supposed ti find you guys and we'd be this great family.
But you're gone, I messed up.
I messed up bad. I'm sorry.
Showtime!
Hey, fellow rulers of planets...
This is Emperor High Intercontinental Champion Zhong.
Just following up that message I sent you a little while back.
You know the one.. about me taking control of your planet!
I've got my Kraken in custody and things are moving along nicely.
You know the drill, hand your worlds over to me...
or I destroy them with the Kraken slick!
And to show you that I mean business...
I'm going to open a slick right now.
So we have a few things to get ready first, and we'll be right over...
to destroy your planet. I'll see you in a little bit.
Oh yes.
Anyone up for some lunch? Something to eat? Anyone?
Sure I guess so.
Market shop? Yeah? Okay? Who's driving? Who's got the keys?
I've never thought it would end this way, Vix.
Neither did I, Chunk.
You mean you really think it's going to end this way? That means it's really going to end...
this way. No!
Vix, Chunk.. what do I do?
- You save them. - Floyd, you can talk?
- Spark. - Father?
- Your friends are in danger. - Where?
Trapped in a cave in the northern Gorge. Save them.
But I'm no hero. I've messed up everything I've ever done.
- Without failure, there is no growth. - But I might fail again.
You must be the spark of hope for people to believe in.
That is your purpose and place in the universe.
Fate brought you here for a reason. Rise, Spark! Rise!
Over here!
Leave my friend alone!
Spark, no! Get out of here. Go now!
Don't worry I've a chance so long as I have this.
Ohh.. well. This is gonna be a litle more difficult.
I can't look!
Father, if I ever needed your strength it's now.
Back, all of you!
Now, turn your backs!
Way to go, Floyd.
I can't believe it. That was amazing!
Let's get out of here before they change their minds.
- Yaww! - Sorry.
Now I know some of you have a cold right now. And Ted you have no legs.
But the prince of Bana is out there and he needs us.
- It's okay, I'm alright. - Your Highness. Thank...
Is that.. indeed? Indeed!
- Lieutenant Vix. - Captain!
Chunkinator!
Still watching your waistline I see.
Lieutenant Vix? Chunkinator?
Your Highness?
We were the youngest members of the Royal Guard.
13 years ago, we were sworn to secrecy, assigned by the queen to protect you.
Our mission was to hide you, keep you safe, train and prepare you.
The queen always thought she'd find a way to...
put things right again and take Bana back.
And when that time came, you would be ready.
I am. We all are. Now we just have to get back.
Oh come on. We made the trip once...
- How do we do it? - By Kraken slick.
So to get back, we would need another Kraken slick.
What's funny?
So it just gonna go jump and it's like go home?
- Why not? - Well to begin with, we're fresh out of Kraken.
And I don't think the little guy counts as one.
- What if we make our own slick? - Of course, why didn't I think of that?
Oh no..seriously. What is a Kraken slick? What is it made of?
- Polaron energy. - We can harvest that, can't we?
- By "we", you mean "me" right? - Of course.
Well for us to return to Bana...
we will need to replicate the exact vibrational frequency..
of the subatomic particles excreted from that particular Kraken.
No idea what it means, keep going.
Which would be nearly impossible because we'd need a power source...
capable of generating a burst of concentrated tachyon...
particles allowing us to open a temporary rift in relative space-time.
- So.. big power source? - Crazy big!
Chunk, I think you might wanna...
- Crazy big enough? - Ahh.. yeah but..
- What? - I would need something like the PEC.
Polaron Energy Converter.
Yeah.. which is back on the garbage shard which is-- who knows where now?
- Captain! Prepare search party. - Something stuck to me and on my leg.
- Those will be your feet. - Outstanding.
Thanks. And take anything else you can find. Wiring, converters, engine parts...
Cold-cuts, dessert items. You never know.
We need to start on a plan.
The battleship takes on Zhong's warship. The speeders takes on the armada.
I gain access to the warship and rescu the queen.. I mean my mother.
I alert you when I'm off the ship at which point the battleship takes out Zhong.
How do we close the slick before it swallows the planet?
If what Chunk is working on manages to do what it is supposed to do...
Open a slick.
- Then theoretically. - Theoretically it should be able to close one.
- Theoretically. - Not bad.
Not bad for insanity. My speeders take on Zhong's armada?
The battleship takes out the warship. In case you haven't noticed, our ships are junk..
We're outnumbered, outgunned. It's impossible.
You're the captain of the Royal Guard. You're a hero.
And you will lead your men back to the wormhole, and together we will defeat Zhong.
- Now, what would make it possible? - A backup battalion, reinforcements.
Vix, makes sure everything keeps moving ahead. I'll be right back.
He reminds me of his father, he has the same fire in his belly.
Same determination.
Found it!
What do you do now?
Stabilizer.
Conductor.
Sandwich.
Sandwich?
I'm on a diet anyway.
- Chunk, how are we doing? - Just a few more things, I'm almost there.
- He's been gone a while. - Shhh.. listen!
Run for your lives. They're coming!
Wait! Stand your ground. Look!
- It's okay, they're on our side. - But.. but how?
They're the same bugs as from back home only mutated.
They're hungry. That's all.
We promised them all the bananas they can eat if they help us.
We?
- Genius. - No, you're the genius. What's happening with the...
Oh right... Kraken Slickinator standing by.
Reverse slick windows should be attracted to...
whatever slick Zhong is opening on the other side.
So, we should end up where we wanna be.
- Or somewhere entirely different. - I'm hoping for the first option.
People of Bana, my friends and I crossed the universe only to find you..
this was no accident. It was fate that brought us here to this place.
You are the citizens of a Bana that once was, a Bana that will be again.
Zhong laid waste to our planet, but together we're taking it back!
- Can we go to the bathroom first? - Yes!
Everyone stand back!
And a now..
Oh no!
Why won't you work? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Look at it. It's working!
Oh yes!
Yes, that's it!
Come on, pull together baby!
You did it!
Oh and this...
- How did you...? - He's the Chunkinator. That's how!
Outstanding, my boy. I always knew you'd do great things.
You know other than eating.
Spark, there is something else.
I found someone in the trash. She was in need of a little TLC...
Tender Loving Chunk.
Bananny!
It's so good to see you, Spark!
It's okay. Her voice is a little different but otherwise, she's the same old Bananny.
Oh except she's weaponized.
Let's kick some asteroid!
Cool!
Kraken in position.
Universe, be mine!
The reverse end of a second slick is opening.
And something is coming through.
What are you talking about? What slick?
Did you make another slick? Who made another slick?
Look out!
Okay, all clear!
- Hey Zhong! You miss me? - You? But you're dead.
- I saw you go through the Kraken slick. - I'm back and I've brought some friends.
You were never the captain in the royal guard. You sent them through the slick along with my dad.
- Your rule is over, Zhong! - What are those?
Alright, you privates! We've been waiting 13 years for this.
It's time Zhong found out what happens when you mess with the royal guard!
Let's light that gorilla ship up. Fire!
Attack!
- Attack! - Firing forward blaster.
You. Get yourself on to that battleship and sabotage it. Do you understand?
You makeup-painted refrigerator!
Go!
Koko do everything.
Here they come.
Spark, I don't do well under pressure.
Aren't they a million more capable, less afraid of laser fire, more...
Chunk, you're the only one who can do this.
- Focus! - Right.. right.. focus.
- Chunk! You're the Chunkinator. - I'm the Chunkinator.
I'm the Chunkina-- Is that a problem?
She's headed to the battleship. Vix, you...
gotta stop her. Chunk, close that slick.
I'm off to save my mom. See you on the other side.
What did you mean by that?
What.. other side of what?
Okay.. right.
--Reverse pularon charge can't be any harder than..
eating that space rat sundae last night.
I'm the Chunkinator. I'm the Chunkinator. I'm...
Okay, it's much harder.
Spark! I thought you were...
- We had to come back to save my mom. - What?
- How did you know? - All these years, why didn't you tell me?
I couldn't. If Zhong knew about you, he would have ...
torn what little was left of Bana apart to find you.
And I had to at least try and stop him from doing more harm than he already had.
But in the stories Bananny told me why didn't she say who my parents really were?
Because I programmed her not to. For your own protection.
Oh, Spark. The only thing that's kept me going...
is the hope of being with you again.
I love you, Spark. More than anything.
Well, look what we have here.
Oh no you don't!
Mother and son reunion. How sweet!
So let me get this straight...
Your dumpster-diving child here together with a band of old has-beens...
and some bugs take on my army. Was that the idea?
How priceless!
You can't made that stuff up. You really can't.
Enjoy the front row seats to your own failure.
All systems, damage report! Engineering? Ted?
The royal blunder ship isn't looking so good now is it?
You and your father are so very much alike.
Both of you failed so completely.
Speaking of my brother, why didn't he come through the slick with the rest of you?
Finally someone has the decency to stay dead.
- Are the photon cannons ready? - Photon cannons ready in T-minus 30.
Everybody get ready for some fireworks!
Don't worry, Mum.
Koko quit this lousy job.
Fire photon!
What's happening? What's going on?
- Get him!
- So the isolating starter hit the pulsing harness causing the-- - Just give it here, man.
Royal Guard!
- I knew that would come in handy for something. - Amazing.
- George, sir. - Curious? What is that?
Zhong's warship?
Get us alongside and ready the starboard torpedo bay.
Did somebody order milk and cookies?
To the escape pod.
Why don't we have escape pod? You wanted the master bathroom.
- Chunk! - Vix!
Floyd!
- Hurry! - Ah! Engaging.
Oh why? Why?!
Use your head! - What? Your head, bang it with your head!
More, more! Keep going!
That's gotta hurt.
Stop!
Please, you wouldn't leave your uncle behind?
Your very own flesh and blood?
For what you did to my father, and what you did to all Bana. I should.
But you won't, will you?
- You'll live the rest of your life in a cell. - A very dark cell.
That's perfect, thank you.
I can do dark. Reminds me of my heart.
Could I get on board now?
- Are you hungry, Zhong? - Actually yes. Why?
Because you're about to taste bitter defeat. Fire torpedoes!
Look at us. One big happy family.
My. Looking particularly divine. Oh shining jewel of my heart.
Let's put the past behind us. Shall we?
I'm ready to look to the future with those eyes.
Love...
- How about a kiss? - Alright, pucker up then.
Really? I've been really waiting 13 years for this.
Close your eyes.
And I've been waiting 13 years for that.
Look at him. He's growing up so fast.
God, they really do have good buffet food here.
This reminds me of that time that you all saved the universe...
and Spark took his rightful place on the...
throne, and you were there and he was there.
Bananny, that's right now.
Wake up, old gutler.
Ready to meet your adoring subjects?
I've been waiting a thousand roach years for this. Bring me my staff!
I'm getting it.
Truth is, I don't know how to be a prince.
- I don't feel like a prince. - You're a prince.
Your father would've been proud of you, Spark.
I wish he could've been here.
He is.
Okay, I'm ready.
But is the universe ready for him?
Fellow citizens!
I give you Spark, prince of Bana!
- Mom. - Yes?
It's good to be home.
