[FOOTSTEPS]
I KNOW THIS IS A LOT
TO TAKE IN ON YOUR FIRST DAY HERE,
BUT THE TOUR ENDS HERE.
MEET THE MOST INSIDIOUS CRIMINAL
IN ALL OF ACMETROPOLIS--
MALLORY MASTERMIND.
OF COURSE!
THE ONE WHO-- YES.
AND SHE WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED IF NOT
FOR A QUICK-THINKING GRAD STUDENT.
Mastermind: QUICK-THINKING, MY OVERSIZED HEAD!
THAT DOG JUST GOT LUCKY.
BY THE WAY, WARDEN, IS IT NECESSARY
TO REMOVE EVERY STAPLE?
YOU KNOW IT IS, MASTERMIND.
ANY METAL SHE TOUCHES SHE CAN TURN INTO
A DANGEROUS, HIGH-TECH WEAPON.
AWW, YOU'RE GONNA SCARE HIM AWAY.
SO MAKE A NOTE-- NOTHING METAL ALLOWED.
HUH. WHERE'S MY--
GOT THAT?
UH, YEAH, YEAH. UH, NO METAL.
GOT IT.
[BEEPING]
OK, LOVE,
BE A DEAR AND CRACK MOMMY'S CAGE.
UHH!
OK. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
[BEEPING]
[RUMBLING]
[RATTLING]
[ALARM BLARING]
[BEEPING]
NICE WORK, PEN PAL.
WHO WANTS A NEW INK CARTRIDGE? YOU DO, DON'T YOU?
OH, YES, YOU DO.
MASTERMIND, STOP!
Mastermind: LOVE TO STAY AND CHAT,
BUT I REALLY MUST BE... HEADING OUT.
HA HA HA HA HA!
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]
Narrator: 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.
HAH! YEAH!
HUHH! HA HA!
IN YOUR FACE! HA HA!
THAT'S A NEW HIGH SCORE.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?
WHAT I HAVE CREATED HERE
IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART VIRTUAL TRAINER,
NOT A VIDEO GAME.
CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT. I'M THE MASTER.
MMM, HA!
I RULE THIS GAME!
[BLOWS]
YES, YOU'RE QUITE THE EXPERT.
TRY THIS LEVEL.
HEY! WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?
UH-OH. HEY!
YOW!
HEY, I WAS KICKING VIRTUAL TAIL OVER HERE.
Voice on P.A.: ZODAVIA'S ON THE LINE.
WE NEED YOU GUYS UP HERE.
LOONATICS, THERE'S BEEN AN ESCAPE
FROM THE SUBTERRANEAN MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON.
THE FILE IS BEING UPLOADED TO YOU AS WE SPEAK.
SHE'S GOT A BIG HEAD.
YOU SAID IT.
MALLORY. OH, NO.
I WANT YOU ALL TO GET DOWN THERE.
TECH CAN FILL YOU IN ON THE WAY.
ZODAVIA OUT.
LET'S JET!
SO, TECH, WANT TO TELL US
HOW YOU KNOW MISS MELON-HEAD?
RIGHT BEFORE ZODAVIA PUT US ALL TOGETHER,
I WAS STILL A GRAD STUDENT AT ACME TECH.
Tech: MALLORY WAS A YOUNG PRODIGY
I WAS TUTORING.
SHE WAS WORKING ON A DEVICE
THAT COULD AMPLIFY BRAINWAVES.
BUT I DISCOVERED SHE HAD MODIFIED THE DEVICE
TO TRANSFER KNOWLEDGE FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S BRAINS
INTO HER OWN.
THE UNIVERSITY STAFF
WERE GOING TO BE HER GUINEA PIGS.
Mastermind: WITH JUST A FLIP OF THIS SWITCH,
I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE BRILLIANT.
WHOA! OH!
WOW! GRACIOUS!
Tech: SO I STOPPED HER AND HER EVIL HEAD
BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE.
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE THEIR MINDS WERE DESTROYED.
UNFORTUNATELY, SHE WAS HIT
BY A SURGE OF FIERY ELECTRICAL NEURON FEEDBACK.
[GROANING]
AAH!
TAKE HER AWAY, OFFICERS.
MALLORY CASEY, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
YOU...
YOU RUINED MY LIFE'S WORK!
HOW DARE YOU!
OH, I WILL GET YOU, TECH!
SOMEDAY I WILL GET YOU,
YOU MANGY DOG!
AND THAT'S THE LAST I HEARD OF HER...
UNTIL NOW.
COME ON, GUYS.
WE PICKED UP SOME SUSPICIOUS
ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY IN THIS AREA.
MALLORY WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY
WITH EQUIPMENT LIKE THIS.
METHINKS THIS PLACE IS EMPTY.
CHILL, DUCK.
ME THINKS I HEAR SOMEONE
THINKING LOUDER THAN ANY OF US.
[BEEPING] WE'RE NOT ALONE.
IT'S GOT TO BE HER.
Mastermind: GIVE THAT DOG A BONE.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, TECH.
I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME.
SOME GENIUS. YOU GET AN "A" FOR THE ESCAPE,
BUT A "D" FOR THE GETAWAY, SISTER.
[ALL GASP]
UH!
UH! HIYAH! UH!
HEY, WATCH IT WITH THAT! YOU MISSED ME. OOPS, MISSED AGAIN!
[GROWLS]
[SNARLING]
[GRUMBLING]
UNH! UH!
[PANTING]
HIYAH!
UNH!
AAH! UH!
UH! UNH!
[GRUNTING]
WH-WH-WHERE THE BIG-HEAD?
SHE'S SKULKING AROUND SOMEWHERE.
BUT I'VE GOT SOMETHING AT H.Q.
THAT WILL GIVE HER A HEADACHE,
WHEREVER SHE IS.
HEY, WHO LEFT ALL THE LIGHTS ON?
WELL, DON'T LOOK AT ME.
I'M IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR HEADQUARTERS NOW, TECH.
IT'S MY TURN TO PLAY WITH SOME OF YOUR INVENTIONS,
AND, BOY, IS THIS GONNA BE FUN!
HA HA HA HA!
[ALL GASP]
AAH!
AHH! [GASP]
OHH!
I CAN'T HOLD IT!
[SLAM BABBLING]
EVERYONE HANG ON! WE'RE GOING DOWN!
WE'RE DOOMED! DOOMED!
OK, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC.
WHAT?! NOW IS EXACTLY THE TIME TO PANIC!
YEAH.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
Mastermind: AH, MY PET.
COMPANY HAS ARRIVED.
WON'T TECH JUST LOVE THE MODIFICATIONS I'VE MADE
TO HIS LITTLE TOYS?
[LAUGHING]
[POWERING ON]
OOH! LOVE IT!
[BEEPING]
AH, THAT HIDEOUS HEAD CASE LOCKED US OUT OF H.Q.
[BEEPING]
NOW THE FUN REALLY BEGINS.
[BEEPING]
[GUNS COCKING]
OK, ENOUGH HEAD GAMES.
TIME TO GO OLD SCHOOL.
ALL RIGHT, TECH.
NOW YOU'LL SEE PAYBACK IS A DOG.
WAIT!
SHE'S BOOBY-TRAPPED EVERYTHING!
AH! OHH!
[GRUMBLES]
UH-OH. AH!
MY BRILLIANT INVENTIONS...
WHAT HAS THAT GHASTLY WOMAN DONE TO MY BABIES?
[GROWLS]
NO! NO! NO!
I'M NOT DOING IT!
I CAN'T CONTROL IT!
[GROWLS]
NICE TRY!
[STAMMERING]
[GRUMBLING]
[LAUGHING]
I'M NOT SURE WHOSE SIDE THE DUCK IS ON.
[LAUGHING]
[GROWLS]
OUCH! OW! OW!
I SHOULD'VE SEEN THIS COMING.
I FEEL LIKE SUCH A PEA-BRAIN.
YOU'RE NO PEA-BRAIN, TECH.
BUT IT IS TIME TO TAKE
YOUR BALLOON-BRAINED GIRLFRIEND DOWN.
I HEARD THAT.
IN HERE.
WE CAN GET OUT OF SIGHT FROM THE CAMERAS.
THERE'S AN ELEVATOR SHAFT BEHIND THIS HEAT GENERATOR.
NICE GOING, TECH.
IS IT GETTING HOT IN THERE OR AM I JUST CRAZY?
[LAUGHING]
[ALARM BLARING]
HEY, GANG,
MISS BIG-BRAIN SET US UP FOR A BIG BANG.
UNH!
OUCH!
OK, TECH, TIME TO PUT YOUR WITS TO WORK.
I'M HACKING INTO THE SECURITY PORTAL,
BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME.
WELL, COULD YOU PRETEND TO HURRY?
ONE MORE MINUTE
AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT CRISPY FRIED DUCK.
I'VE ALMOST GOT IT.
Mastermind: ALMOST DOESN'T COUNT, DOGFACE.
COVER YOUR EARS, PENNY.
ANYBODY FOR BARBECUED HERO?
IT SEEMS THAT HOT DOG IS WELL-DONE!
[LAUGHING] [BEEPING]
COULD YOU CUT IT ANY CLOSER, TECH?
ACTUALLY...NO.
YEAH, WE'D BETTER GET MOVING
BEFORE SHE FIGURES OUT WE'RE HERE.
THROUGH THE VENTS. SHE CAN'T MONITOR US IN THERE.
WE'VE GOT TO SOMEHOW GET TO MY E.M.P.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPELL IT.
I KNOW WHAT AN EMP IS.
WHAT'S AN EMP?
THE E.M.P.
IS AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE GENERATOR.
NOW, IF WE CAN GET TO IT AND ACTIVATE IT,
IT WOULD TEMPORARILY KNOCK OUT
ALL ELECTRIC CURRENT IN THE VICINITY.
WITHOUT POWER, SHE'S, WELL, POWERLESS.
LEXI, TAKE SLAM AND REV WITH YOU
AND FOLLOW THIS ALL THE WAY UP
SO YOU CAN ACTIVATE THE E.M.P.
DUCK, YOU COME WITH TECH AND ME
AND WE'LL ENTER FROM THE VIRTUAL TRAINER.
SHE WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT HER.
SO, WHERE DO WE FIND THIS E.M.P.
AND HOW DO WE ACTIVATE IT?
IT'S HIDDEN RIGHT IN PLAIN SIGHT
AND COMES WITH SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
[BEEPING]
WHAT?!
I THOUGHT IT WAS CATS THAT HAD 9 LIVES.
THE COAST IS CLEAR.
SHE HASN'T TAMPERED WITH THESE.
[BEEPING]
OH, NO!
AND BY "HASN'T TAMPERED WITH," YOU MEAN...
ALL RIGHT. TIME FOR A NEW HIGH SCORE.
[GRUNTING]
HA! HA!
NYA!
HA! HIYAH!
HIYAH!
TRY LOOKING UNDER THE POOL TABLE.
CHALK ONE UP FOR TECH.
THE E.M.P. DEVICE IS HIDDEN HERE.
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING]
EASY. THIS IS A NO-SLICING ZONE!
[GRUMBLING]
WE ZAP ONE AND 2 MORE APPEAR.
OH, YEAH. COOL, ISN'T IT?
IT MEANS WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO THE BONUS LEVEL.
HIYAH!
OK, THIS HAS GONE FAR ENOUGH.
IT'S TIME TO GO HEAD-TO-HEAD.
WE'LL COVER YOU. UNH! UH!
UNH! [BEEPS]
COME BACK, MALLORY!
[GROWLS]
I'M ALL FOR CLEANING HOUSE, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
REV, LEAD THAT BIG SUCKER THIS WAY!
OH, IF YOU HAD TOLD ME WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
THAT I WAS GONNA BAIT FOR A RUNAWAY VACUUM CLEANER,
I WOULD'VE SAID YOU WERE JUST PLAIN NUTS!
HUH!
WHOA!
UHH! HMM.
AW.
TECH SAID THEY'D COME WITH SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
SIMPLE, MY LUCKY FOOT.
I GOT THIS.
STEP ONE--ARM PRIMARY IGNITION SEQUENCE
USING STANDARD ALPHANUMERIC CODE CALCULATIONS.
STEP 2--INSERT ELECTRON OVERDRIVE RODS--
YOU'RE PROVING YOURSELF TO BE MORE WILY
THAN I EVER EXPECTED.
AND YOU'RE JUST AS TWISTED
AS I EVER THOUGHT YOU WERE.
NOT TWISTED. ENLIGHTENED.
BUT THEN, YOU WERE ALWAYS JEALOUS
OF MY BRAINPOWER.
IT'S NOT YOUR INTELLECT I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH.
IT'S YOUR SWOLLEN HEAD.
YOU TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW.
REMEMBER?!
BUT NOT EVERYTHING I KNOW.
