[INDISTINCT CHATTERING AND YELLING]
RRR!
OK, WE GOT THE FOOD.
CAN WE GO BACK TO H.Q. NOW?
CHILL, DUCK. IT'S NOT A TRIP DOWNTOWN
WITHOUT GETTING A LITTLE TAKEOUT.
FRANKLY, I'M A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE
IN A PLACE WHERE DUCK IN ORANGE SAUCE
IS A DINNER ENTREE.
IF ANYONE STARTS DROOLING,
I'M QUACKING OUT OF HERE.
WHOA. HERE COMES YOUR GIRLFRIEND.
[CHEERING]
[SARCASTICALLY] HA HA. VERY FUNNY.
[RUMBLING]
SHH! DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?
HOW CAN I HEAR ANYTHING WITH THIS RACKET?
YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE SUPERHEARING TO--
OH. RIGHT.
COME ON. LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
EXCUSE ME.
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, MISSY.
ACE IS TECHNICALLY THE BOSS,
BUT SINCE HE ISN'T HERE, DON'T JUST ASSUME
YOU GET TO BE IN CHARGE.
IF ANYBODY'S GONNA LEAD, IT'S GONNA BE ME.
WHOA! [RUMBLING]
[SCREAMING]
Danger Duck: SORRY.
AHH! UHH!
AREN'T YOU SAUCY.
YOU KNOW, I AM PRETTY TASTY.
AFTERSHOCK!
ARE YOU GETTING SHORTER OR AM I GETTING TALLER?
YOU KEEP DREAMING, DUCK.
INCOMING!
NOT AGAIN.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
UHH!
IT LOOKS LIKE DOWNTOWN
IS SINKING TO A WHOLE NEW LOW.
THE JADE SERPENT.
AT LAST!
GET READY, ACMETROPOLIS.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT MORE SHAKING
GOING ON!
HA HA HA!
Zodavia: IN THE YEAR 2772,
A METEOR STRIKES THE CITY PLANET OF ACMETROPOLIS,
KNOCKING IT OFF ITS AXIS.
THIS COSMIC EVENT RELEASES SUPERNATURAL FORCES,
UNLEASHING A NEW KIND OF HERO--
THE LOONATICS.
Ace: THIS MOUNTAIN JUST GREW OUT OF NOWHERE?
JUST LIKE THAT?
YEAH. WEIRD, HUH?
BUT NOW WE CAN GO SKIING ANYTIME WE WANT
WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO LEAVE DOWNTOWN.
AND WHEN WE WORK UP AN APPETITE ON THE SLOPES,
WE CAN STOP IN FOR CHINESE TAKEOUT
AT THE BOTTOM.
MAN, ACMETROPOLIS HAS EVERYTHING!
I'VE GONE OVER IT AGAIN AND AGAIN,
BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD'VE CAUSED
THAT KIND OF GEOLOGIC INSTABILITY.
OH, I DON'T KNOW,
MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE A GIANT METEOR HITTING THE EARTH? HMM?
RING A BELL?
PERHAPS IF I HAD ENOUGH TIME
TO BUILD A MORE DETAILED MODEL.
I DID IT DURING MY BREAK.
TOTAL RUSH JOB.
TECH, THE LITTLE ELEVATED TRAINS
ARE ACTUALLY RUNNING...
AND ON TIME.
OK, NOW NORMALLY
WHEN THERE'S TECTONIC ACTIVITY,
THE PLATES OF THE EARTH'S CRUST
MOVE LIKE THIS.
NO MATTER HOW MANY VARIATIONS I TRY,
THERE'S JUST NOTHING
THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
[SLURP] AHHH.
[CHOMPING] CHOCOLATE.
UH, SLAM,
ACTUALLY, I RAN OUT OF SOIL,
SO I USED HOT FUDGE.
WITH NUTS.
SPEAKING OF NUTS,
THIS ATTACK WAS THE WORK OF ONE DR. THADDEUS DARE.
THADDEUS DARE?
"NUT" IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
A RECLUSIVE AND RATHER OLD SCIENTIST
BUT BRILLIANT NONETHELESS,
DARE WAS CONVINCED THAT ONE DAY HE WOULD FIND
HE WENT CRAZY, AND HIS ROCK EXPERIMENTS
GREW MORE RECKLESS.
HE WAS FINALLY BANISHED BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
AND DISAPPEARED.
LET ME GUESS. A GUY THAT INTO ROCKS
WENT UNDERGROUND, RIGHT?
DEEP UNDERGROUND.
I BELIEVE HE'S PREPARING TO TAKE HIS REVENGE
ON THE WORLD THAT REJECTED HIM,
AND HE MAY HAVE JUST FOUND THE ULTIMATE MEANS.
THE JADE SERPENT CRYSTAL.
YES. THE CRYSTAL THAT WAS HOUSED IN THE SCIENCE TOWER,
WHICH SANK UNDERGROUND TODAY.
Ace: WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS NUGGET?
IT'S AN ANCIENT GEM THAT HAS A UNIQUE ATOMIC STRUCTURE
SAID TO CONTAIN UNTOLD ENERGY.
IF DR. DARE SOMEHOW HARNESSES
THE POWER OF THE CRYSTAL,
THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT HE MIGHT DO.
YOU MUST FIND DR. DARE AND STOP HIM.
ZODAVIA OUT.
ALL RIGHT, GANG. LET'S JET.
THIS NEW TOY OF YOURS
IS A GREAT WAY TO BEAT THE TRAFFIC.
HA HA! YES!
All: WHOA!
QUIT DOING THAT!
DON'T WORRY.
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY MOBILE MAGMA MOVER FOR A WHILE.
I JUST NEEDED A GOOD EXCUSE TO TAKE HER FOR A SPIN.
HA HA! GOOD THING I GOT ALMOST
ALL THE KINKS WORKED OUT.
I'LL SAY.
WAIT. DID YOU SAY ALMOST? DID HE SAY ALMOST?
GUYS, HEADS UP.
THE CITY IS UPSIDE DOWN, OR IS IT MY STOMACH?
SO THAT'S WHERE THE BUILDINGS WENT.
Tech: HANG ON. GOIN' DOWN.
AND WE'RE HOW MANY MILES BENEATH THE EARTH'S CRUST?
HEH HEH HEH. NOT TO WORRY.
THIS THING'S BUILT
WITH ULTRA-TITANIUM DOUBLE SHIELDING.
TRUST ME. NOTHING CAN STOP US. [GASPS]
WHAT WAS THAT?
A LOT OF NUTTIN'.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THIS BABY SHOULD BE ABLE
TO SMASH THROUGH ANY KIND OF ROCK.
AND WHAT IF THE ROCKS SMASH BACK?
HUH?
Ace: TECH, GET US OUT OF HERE.
Tech: THE SUDDEN STOP MUST'VE SHORT-CIRCUITED THE ENGINE.
HEY, UH, TECH,
CAN YOU REVERSE US OUT OF THIS HOLE?
YEAH! AS IN, BACK UP NOW!
WELL, I WOULD IF I COULD.
NO REVERSE?
OH, NO! GUYS...
LITTLE HELP?
IT'S GOT LEXI!
LET'S ROCK!
HEY, STOP, ROCKZILLA! UNH! UHH!
UHH! THANKS, DUCK.
LET'S GO.
MISSED. SO SORRY. MISSED AGAIN. HA HA!
STRIKE 3. YOU'RE OUT!
[GROWLS]
EXCUSE ME. HI. WOULD YOU COME THIS WAY, PLEASE?
THANKS SO MUCH!
HEY, HOW 'BOUT YOU, ROCKS? COME OVER HERE AS WELL?
THAT'S RIGHT!
[MUMBLING]
3-EGG OMELET, COMIN' UP!
GATHER AROUND, GUYS.
I KNOW THIS IS KIND OF SUDDEN,
WHY I CALLED THIS MEETING.
YAHH! THAT'S WHY!
HEY, LEX, YOU'RE UP.
DON'T YOU EVER LIGHTEN UP?
GUESS NOT.
FAST WORK, REV. I'M GOIN' AFTER SLAM.
UNH! [GROWLS AND MUMBLES]
UNH! UHH...EEE!
[GROWLS AND MUMBLES]
YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES...
AND YOU DON'T WANNA SEE ME MAD.
HEY, I WARNED YOU.
YOU TELL 'EM, SISTER.
HA HA HA!
UH-OH.
HUH?
YO, WHAT'S UP, ROCK?
DROP THE DEVIL AND BACK AWAY.
YAHH!
SLAM!
OH, MAN.
HEY YA, SLAM. ARE YOU OK?
HO HO! I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT WHOLE
WOW. I EVEN IMPRESS MYSELF. HA HA!
I GOTTA REMEMBER HOW TO DO THAT. [GASPS]
YO, TECH, WHAT DO YA GOT?
MY SCANNERS ARE PICKING UP
A STRANGE ENERGY FIELD AROUND THEM.
THERE'S A HIGH PROBABILITY THEY'RE BEING CONTROLLED
BY THE POWERS OF THE JADE SERPENT CRYSTAL.
THE HOT ISSUE ISN'T HOW THEY'RE WORKING,
IT'S HOW WE'RE GONNA BEAT 'EM.
WE'VE GOTTA LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD.
TECH, CAN YOU JUMPSTART THAT THING?
THIS MIGHT WORK...
IF I CAN JUST REROUTE THE POWER RESERVES
TO THE FRONT THRUSTERS.
COME ON!
OHH. FINE.
MEHHH!
[SIZZLING]
GOTTA BE AN EASIER WAY TO BE A HERO.
ALL RIGHT! ROCK ON!
SO, WHAT WERE THOSE THINGS?
REMINDS ME
OF SOME OF THE GUYS WHO KEEP CALLING YOU,
EXCEPT THE ROCKS HAVE MORE PERSONALITY.
HA HA HA!
YOWW! [SIZZLING]
WATCH THE FEATHERS.
THOSE ROCK GUYS ARE THE SECURITY GUARDS,
WHICH MEANS WE MUST BE CLOSE TO DARE'S LAIR.
Dr. Dare: YOU'RE NOT CLOSE. YOU'RE HERE.
JUST IN TIME
TO SEE THE POWER OF THE JADE SERPENT
TURN ACMETROPOLIS UPSIDE DOWN.
TECH, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
I TOLD YA HE WAS A CRACKPOT.
LET'S GET GOIN'.
I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED YOUR LITTLE VISIT DOWN HERE,
BECAUSE IT'S NOW YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENCE.
IN FACT, SOON ALL OF ACMETROPOLIS
WILL RESIDE UNDERGROUND,
AND I WILL LIVE IN PEACE ON THE SURFACE.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, DOC?
THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD.
YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING
WHEN YOU'RE BURIED IN STONE, BUNNY!
OHH!
TAKE COVER!
SAYONARA, LOONATICS.
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
AAH!
NICE WORK THERE, SLAM.
ANY TIME.
WE GOTTA GET TO ACMETROPOLIS BEFORE--
Zodavia: BEFORE THERE IS NO ACMETROPOLIS.
DR. DARE'S CONTINUING TO TURN THE WORLD INSIDE OUT.
YOU MUST HURRY. IF YOU DO NOT DO SOMETHING QUICKLY,
THIS MADMAN WILL BURY US ALL.
AAH!
LET'S GET THIS MOVER MOVIN' BEFORE WE LOSE POWER, TOO.
NICE DRIVIN', TECH.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE...
A LITTLE LATE.
Lexi: IT'S ACMETROPOLIS.
Tech: TALK ABOUT AN EXTREME MAKEOVER.
DARE'S USING THE JADE SERPENT
TO TURN OUR WORLD INSIDE OUT.
SO WE'VE GOTTA USE THAT GEM TO REVERSE IT.
Rev: I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
'SCUSE ME. COMING THROUGH. I'LL JUST WAIT AT THE TOP.
NO RUSH. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK
MAN, YOU GUYS ARE SLOW!
Ace: OH, GREAT.
IT'S THE ROCKETTES AGAIN, GANG.
SLAM, TEACH 'EM HOW TO TWIST.
[GROWLS]
SAND? Ace: WHO KNEW?
WHOA!
Ace: SLAM! All: WHOA!
All: AAAAHH!
OH, IT'S ON NOW.
NICE BLASTIN', LEXI.
TIME TO SHUT THAT CRYSTAL DOWN.
Lexi: WHOA, LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN OZ.
THERE'S THAT JADE NUGGET
THAT'S BEEN CAUSIN' ALL THE TROUBLE.
SO, HOW DO WE REVERSE THIS THING?
THIS IS JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD,
BUT I'D SAY YOU CAN DO IT WITH A QUANTI-AMPLIFIED
CHARGE OF INTENSE ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION.
ELECTRO-MAGA-WAGA-- WAIT, WAIT.
UH, TECH, DO YOU MEAN LIGHT?
YOU MAKE IT SOUND SO BORING.
THE LUNA PESTS.
I THOUGHT I BURIED ALL OF YOU DOWN BELOW.
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? "DOWN" IS THE NEW "UP."
YEAH, WE WOULD'VE CALLED FIRST,
BUT YOU WERE UNLISTED.
AND NOW WE'RE GONNA STOP
YOUR INSIDIOUS PLANS STONE COLD.
HA HA HA. STONES ARE MY DOMAIN, DUCK,
BUT THERE'S NO REASON
YOU ALL CAN'T JOIN MY LITTLE ROCK GROUP.
HEY!
WHAT'S WITH THE ROCK CANDY?
YOU'LL BECOME MY OWN PERSONAL STATUES.
