A bit higher... Higher. There, that's good, bro.
We just need to be sure
there's no structural damage to any of these buildings.
Danny, make sure Apex and the others understand they need to stay outside
until we can be sure the danger is really over.
You got that, right?
We all have to stay outside.
Okay, but Mummo and I are anxious to get back inside.
Yeah. Anita's worried about Mummo's kitchen.
She's saying the kitchen belongs to both of you now.
Oh. Gracias, Mummo.
Looks like you speak the same language after all... Cooking!
Thanks for the lift, bro.
So, what do you guys think caused it?
It was either a natural disaster...
Or a Botila-caused disaster.
Jetpacks were dead, so they'll have to charge while we're gone.
Panchi, mind coming along?
We could use an extra set of eyes while we survey the damage.
- Sure, Jonesy! - Guys, I've gotta...
Danny, stay here and set up the holoscreens.
Wait! What about...
Later, Danny! I'll see you when I get back.
Seriously? Guess my big news will have to wait.
The damage is even worse over here.
The animals are so spooked!
Oh, no! Look!
We have to do something!
Its mother can't reach it.
The ledge! It's starting to crack!
Well, partner, looks like we're back in the biz of rescuing endangered species.
Whoa!
- Hang on! - Whoa!
Whoa! That was close!
Steady now, Jonesy.
Retrieving dino now.
It's not working. The baby's stuck.
Time for plan B.
Wait, what's plan B?
Doing it old school.
Jonesy, find a way to distract mom.
- And make it quick! - You got it!
Come and get me, mama!
Lukas! Now!
Hurry, Lukas!
Phew.
Easy, boy, we'll get you out of this.
Okay, guys, I'm gonna need you to restrain him while I free his leg.
Copy that.
You're on, Panchi.
Nice shot!
Lukas! Hold on!
Just go! Get me outta here!
Jonesy! I don't know if I can hang on much longer!
Just a bit further, just a little bit further.
Okay, guys, now would be a good time to move out!
Lukas!
Are you okay?
Just a few scratches. Was a close call, though.
My ability to invade any AI and take complete control over them
is improving by leaps and bounds!
Excuse me, why did you just knock my head off?
Because I can, of course.
- Wait! Stop. - Go long!
What are you doing?
Practicing my skills.
I've got it!
- My bad. - Klutz.
Ah, sure felt good to be back in the rescue biz.
Nothing better. I've missed it too.
Almost there, guys.
- Isn't that where... - The mouth of the volcano used to be.
The only thing that can melt rocks like that is a laser.
And the only person who would laser-shut a volcano is Botila.
We're trapped down here.
And without us to stop her,
we can only imagine what terrible evil she'll perpetrate next.
If you are done humiliating us, can I have my body back?
Now, I can instantly shut down a unit's ability to think on its own...
Hey!
Leaving my superior brain in charge.
Whoa!
Whoop-dee-doo for you.
While this is amusing,
it's time to put my remarkable power to a more rewarding use.
Now that I've entombed Kong and company inside that volcano,
there will be no one to stand in my way.
Time to push my talent to the limits!
And what better place to use my ingenious skill than here,
the International Peacekeeping Project,
a fully loaded weapons satellite, orbiting in space,
just waiting for my mind to take control of it.
I'm ready to wage all-out war on humanity.
Good work, Kong!
Apex says that's the last one.
And I just finished installing the holoscreens.
Let's take a load off while we wait for the others to get back.
You must be so hungry from all that hard work.
Mummo and I made these treats for you.
And me!
Watch it!
Look, the chopper's coming!
It was Botila for sure.
That diabolical bot trapped us down here.
Unless there's some other way to get to the surface.
Do you know another way out?
Yes, there is another way!
- Oh, yeah! - Oh!
Make that was.
Humans started hunting apes,
so they stopped going to the surface at all
and the exit was locked.
The key was hidden and now it's lost.
Wait, he said "key!"
Oh, that's what I've been trying to tell you guys.
While I was chasing Zippi through those tunnels,
I found this! A key!
I guess it's the key!
Great job, bro!
- All right! - Let's go.
Lucky for us, Zippi is such a royal pain
or I'd never have found it.
Kong, grab your jetpack!
If there's really a way out,
we want to be ready to start hunting down Botila!
Are you certain we will not burn up in this flying laboratory?
You should know better than to doubt me.
My internal thermostat calculates the current temperature around our hull
is 3,540.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make that .8!
Chill out.
I know what I'm doing.
Except she forgot we'd lose gravity once we left Earth's atmosphere.
There you go. Gravity.
Ah, yes, there it is.
Enough missiles to take out every major city on Earth.
And they are all about to be mine!
Speaking of mines...
Those will surely blow us to smithereens.
We can't get too close!
You do see them, right?
Of course I see them.
However, those AI sentries will not see my mind
when it leaps past them faster than the speed of light,
and I take control of the entire missile launching system.
Get ready to be shock and awed!
Hello!
Forget the mines!
You've made all the missiles target us.
Quiet! I just need to concentrate
and take over the satellite's AI control system.
Before or after they incinerate us?
It's still a little too far.
I just need to get a bit closer.
Closer? Not closer!
Oh, relax.
I fortified the hull with the last of the titanium,
so that it won't matter when this happens.
You have entered highly restricted air space.
Vacate the area immediately, or your vessel will be destroyed.
Good going, Empress Genius.
They're going to blow us into space dust!
I repeat, vacate this air space immediately.
Or your vessel will be obliterated.
Sir, she appears to be coming up alongside.
- Do we take evasive action? - We should be cautious, sir.
Hold fire until we find out more.
We don't want to risk an international incident.
Identify yourselves and your mission or we will open fire immediately.
The second they hear the name "Botila," we're all toast.
Oh, right, like I'm planning to tell the truth.
All this second-guessing me is getting old.
I thought I programmed them better than this.
Please, we beg you, hold your fire!
We're just a peaceful environmental task-force sent here to do our job.
We're risking our lives to collect dangerous space junk,
like abandoned satellites, threatening to crash down on the Earth.
Our tracking system led us to your satellite.
We had no way of knowing it was some top-secret missile platform.
- Sounds plausible. - Could be truth.
It sounds genuine to me.
Sadly for us, your warning came too late
and our ship sustained damage when your mine hit it.
We just need a little time to do the repairs.
I need absolute confirmation
that there is no way anyone can penetrate the on-board AI defense systems.
Talk to me, people! You built it. Do you stand by it or not?
Absolutely. Our firewalls are completely impenetrable.
Okay, then.
You have exactly 30 minutes to make your repairs.
Am I clear?
Yes, sir!
Thank you for sparing our lives.
Ending transmission so we can get right to work.
Humans are so gullible.
Maybe, but their firewalls aren't.
These mere mortals haven't invented a firewall
that my superior AI cannot break through!
Beginning countdown.
Sounds like whatever Apex is looking for is close.
Oh, no! Not those horrible creepy vines again!
We're doomed! We're doomed!
- I don't get it. - Me neither. Where's the keyhole?
- Whoa! - Whoa!
Awesome!
Hang on, bro! Let the chopper go first.
We don't know where we'll be popping up, so let's hope we have a safe exit.
Aren't you coming with us, Tía Anita?
Uh... I better not.
I have much too much work to do
exchanging recipes with Mummo.
Okay!
But you are coming back, right?
That's the plan.
Thank you, Apex.
Let's do it.
Okay, everybody, buckle up.
There's no telling what kind of trouble we might be flying into.
You have violated our conditions. Halt immediately or we will open fire.
This is your final warning!
What part of "being blown to bits" does she not understand?
None of this computes.
She's finally lost it.
I've done it!
I have all the power now!
Someone give me an update now!
- What's going on? - This is not good.
Botila...
You will address me as Empress Botila.
As you can see, I now have complete control over all your missiles.
Oh, and I've also tapped into the major media satellites,
so I am broadcasting this to the entire world.
Tell me we have some way to stop her.
From now on, I am giving the orders.
I am the one with my finger, or should I say my mind, on the trigger.
Where is Kong when we desperately need him?
Confirm all clear.
All right! C'mon up, Kong!
I've logged the exact coordinates so we're all set to come and go.
Whoa.
Being a fair-minded AI, I am giving Earth 24 hours
to shut down all defense systems and surrender.
If you do not comply in time or if you attempt to stop me in any way,
I will open fire on every major city around the world!
Gosh, this is what happens when we take one day off?
Let's get moving!
Everyone's lives are at stake. Make it count.
