[PANTING] ACMETROPOLIS
IS UNDER SIEGE FROM A MYSTERIOUS NEW THREAT,
SOME KIND OF TERRIFYING MONSTER MACHINE!
REPORTS SAY IT WAS STOLEN
FROM THE ACMETROPOLIS WEAPONS LABORATORY,
CODE-NAMED THE TROLBOT 9000.
THE LOONATICS ARE VALIANTLY FIGHTING TO STOP IT.
ON 3, LEXI.
Ace: WE BROUGHT IT DOWN! YOU IN POSITION, TECH?
DON'T WORRY, ACE.
MY METALO-CONVERTER WILL NEUTRALIZE IT.
[WHIMPERS]
SPLIT UP!
NOW YOU'LL SEE WHAT A SUPERIOR HERO THIS DUCK REALLY IS.
HOW 'BOUT A ROBOT OMELET, BUDDY?
AAH!
EH...UH...LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS A TAR EGG.
COME TO PAPA...
REV, THE TURBO-REVERSE MODULATOR!
EAT DUST, TROL!
YOU ALREADY REVERSED THE REVERSE MODULATOR,
DIDN'T YOU?
I SURE DID. WASN'T I SUPPOSED TO?
HOLD THAT THOUGHT. [WHIMPERS]
AAH! OH!
OOH-OOF-OH!
HUH?
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.
[CHORAL SINGING]
OH...OH!
AAH!
OH...OH! WHOA!
THAT WAS SOME DREAM!
AT LEAST I THINK IT WAS A DREAM.
MORNING, ACE. YOU LOOK REALLY RUN DOWN.
I'M MAKING MY SUPER BOOSTER PICK-ME-UP SHAKE.
YOU LIKE ONE? HOW 'BOUT IT?
THANKS THERE, REV, BUT I'M TOO SHAKEN FOR A SHAKE.
THAT'S STRANGE.
ACE, TOAST IS NOT STRANGE.
UNLESS DUCK MAKES IT. THEN...WATCH OUT.
LOONATICS, YOUR ASSISTANCE IS URGENTLY NEEDED
AT THE ACMETROPOLIS MILITARY WEAPONS LAB.
THE WEAPONS LAB NEEDS HELP FROM US?
BUT THEY HAVE ALL THOSE...WEAPONS.
SOMEONE'S BROKEN IN
AND IS TRYING TO STEAL THE TROLBOT 9000.
THE TROLBOT 9000?
NO! NOT THE TROLBOT 9000!
WHAT'S THE TROLBOT 9000 AGAIN?
THE MOST POWERFUL FIGHTING MACHINE EVER CREATED.
NOT...THE TROLBOT 9000--
DUCK...TRY TO USE YOUR INDOOR VOICE.
WE'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.
ZODAVIA OUT.
LET'S JET!
[RINGING]
HELLO? MAKE IT SNAPPY, GRAMPS.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO SAVE THE CITY!
MY NAME IS DR. FIDEL CHRONIKER,
AND MY GRANDSON IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL!
AND THIS IS OUR PROBLEM HOW? WE'RE SUPER HEROES.
SEND JUNIOR TO BED WITHOUT HIS VIDEO GAMES,
AND LET US DO OUR JOB!
AH--
OH, MUST WE GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN?
[GROANS] OHH...
[ALARM BLARES]
ATTENTION, ALL PERSONNEL! RED ALERT!
SECURITY HAS BEEN BREACHED!
AN UNKNOWN INTRUDER HAS MADE HIS WAY TO THE WEAPONS LAB.
HOW IS HE DOING THAT?
PUT YOUR HANDS UP!
IDENTIFY YOURSELF, OR WE'LL SHOOT!
THE NAME'S TIME SKIP, AND TODAY BELONGS TO ME.
THAT TROL IS MINE--
AND I'M NOT HOSTILE--
I'M JUST RECLAIMING WHAT'S MINE.
THE MILITARY STOLE MY DESIGN,
AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT.
[GIBBERISH]
YEAH. IT DOES LOOK WORSE THAN YOUR ROOM.
THE LOONATICS! [COUGHS] AT LAST.
SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
I'M COLONEL TRENCH. THIS IS MY COMMAND.
[BOOM]
OR...WAS.
FOLLOW ME.
SOMEONE CALLING HIMSELF TIME SKIP HAS BROKEN IN,
CLAIMING WE STOLE HIS DESIGN FOR THE TROLBOT 9000.
NOT THE TROLBOT 9000!
I'M AFRAID SO. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO PIN HIM DOWN,
BUT HE CONTINUES TO BREACH OUR SECURITY MEASURES.
AWESOME! YOU'RE MINE-- ALL MINE!
NO! DON'T LET HIM NEAR THAT SYSTEM!
IF HE GETS INSIDE THAT BOT,
NOBODY'LL BE ABLE TO STOP HIM.
WELL, WE'RE JUST THE NOBODIES TO TRY!
TIME OUT, LOONATICS!
Time Skip: NOW THAT I'M IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT,
Rev: TECH, LOOK OUT! I GOT YA!
COME ON, TROLBOT.
WE'RE OUTTA HERE.
LET'S TAKE A TOUR OF THIS CITY.
MY NEW METALO-CONVERTER
WOULD TURN THAT THING TO DUST,
BUT IT'S BACK AT HEADQUARTERS.
RIGHT. YOU TAKE REV AND PREP IT.
WE'LL BRING THE TROLBOT RIGHT TO YA.
COME ON. LET'S CLEAN HIS CLOCK.
Lexi: ACE, WHAT'S THE PLAN?
TAKE OUT HIS BLADES!
Ace: ON 3, LEXI!
WE BROUGHT IT DOWN! YOU IN POSITION, TECH?
[RUMBLING]
DON'T WORRY, ACE,
MY METALO-CONVERTER WILL NEUTRALIZE IT.
COME TO PAPA.
Ace: KEEP HITTIN' 'EM HARD. THE PLAN'S WORKING.
Time Skip: YOU CRAZY LOONATICS.
CAN'T YOU SEE I'M INDESTRUCTIBLE?
KEEP DRIVING HIM TOWARD H.Q.
WELL, THIS OUGHTA BE FUN.
TIME TO BRING DOWN THE HOUSE.
CLOSIN' IN ON YOU, TECH.
ALMOST THERE.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
I'M GONNA BLOW UP YOUR HEADQUARTERS.
REV--THE TURBO REVERSE MODULATOR!
EAT DUST, TROL!
YOU ALREADY REVERSED THE REVERSE MODULATOR...
DIDN'T YOU?
JUST SAVING YOU TIME.
ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO DO?
HOLD...THAT...THOUGHT.
[WHIMPERS]
GIVE UP, BUNNY RABBIT. CAN'T YOU SEE I'VE WON?
HA HA HA HA HA! COME ON, BUNNY!
EEEHHHH!
THAT THE BEST YOU'VE GOT?
NOW IT'S MY TURN.
TIME TO DO THE TROLBOT CRUNCH!
AHH!
OH...WHAT A DREAM.
ANOTHER BAD NIGHT.
I KEEP HAVING THE SAME NIGHTMARE OVER AND OVER.
I'M MAKING MY SUPER BOOSTER PICK-ME-UP SHAKE.
WOULD YOU CARE FOR ONE?
NAW. I'M TOO SHAKEN FOR A SHAKE.
AM I STILL DREAMIN'?
'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'VE DONE THIS EXACT SAME THING BEFORE.
[YAWNS]
HELLO! YOU MEAN LIKE EVERY SINGLE MORNING?
NO, LEXI. I MEAN REV.
YOU. THIS. IT-- IT'S ALL TOO FAMILIAR.
HEL-LO. WE ONLY MAKE THE SAME BREAKFASTY THING
EVERY SINGLE MORNING.
AND THAT-- WHAT YOU JUST SAID
I'M SURE YOU'VE SAID BEFORE!
SOUNDS LIKE DEJA VU.
ZSA ZSA WHO?
DEJA VU.
THE SENSE THAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
LOONATICS, YOUR ASSISTANCE IS URGENTLY NEEDED
AT THE ACMETROPOLIS MILITARY WEAPONS LAB.
HEY, UH...YOU THINKIN' WHAT I'M THINKIN'?
YEAH. YOUR DEJA VU
JUST BECAME A TEAM SPORT.
WE'RE ON IT, ZODAVIA.
LET'S JET!
[RINGING]
YES? MAKE IT SNAPPY, CHAPPY.
WE'RE ABOUT TO SAVE THE CITY.
MY NAME IS DR. FIDEL CHRONIKER, AND--
BLABBITY-BLAH. HEARD IT BEFORE. BORED ME THEN.
NOW, KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE PRANK PHONE CALLS!
PLEASE--DON'T HANG UP! MY GRANDSON--
HO HO HO. WHAT A NUT!
EH...OH!
LOONATICS, SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
SOMEONE CALLING HIMSELF TIME SKIP HAS BROKEN IN,
CLAIMING WE STOLE HIS DESIGN FOR THE TROLBOT 9000.
Duck: NOT THE TROLBOT 9000!
Colonel: I'M AFRAID SO. IF HE GETS INSIDE THAT BOT,
NOBODY'LL BE ABLE TO STOP HIM.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO PIN HIM DOWN,
BUT HE CONTINUES TO BREACH OUR SECURITY MEASURES.
THAT BOT IS MINE! GOT IT?
AND NO BUNCH OF SUPER FREAKS ARE GONNA STOP ME!
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE'S MOVING SO FAST
OR HOW TO COUNTER IT.
MY GUESS IS HE'S INDUCING TEMPORAL DISPLACEMENT
BY FRAGMENTING THE QUANTUM FABRIC.
HE'S MANIPULATING TIME.
JUMPING JUST AHEAD OF US?
THAT OLD CRANK CALLED H.Q. THIS MORNING,
TRYING TO HOODWINK US INTO DEALING WITH
HIS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL GRANDSON!
Time Skip: LOONATICS!
THIS IS A WILD GUESS, BUT DO YOU THINK HE FITS THE BILL?
OH?
Time Skip: LET'S TAKE A TOUR OF THE CITY.
MY NEW METALO-CONVERTER
WOULD TURN THAT THING TO DUST...
BUT IT'S BACK AT HEADQUARTERS.
LEXI, YOU WARM IT UP WHILE WE PAY DR. CHRONIKER A VISIT.
LOONATICS, IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU SHOWED UP!
IT'S AN HONOR TO MEET YOU, DR. CHRONIKER.
I'VE READ ALL YOUR RESEARCH
ON TIME DISPLACEMENT.
THANK YOU FOR COMING...
AT LONG LAST.
EH, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT, DOC?
HOW'D YOU KNOW WE'D BE HERE AT ALL?
I'VE CALLED YOU EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS.
WAIT A MINUTE-- 5 DAYS?
I'VE BEEN RESETTING EACH DAY BACK TO ITS BEGINNING.
Ace: THAT EXPLAINS THE DEJA VU!
YOUR TIME DISPLACER-- IT WORKS?
YES. UNFORTUNATELY, MY GRANDSON ARTHUR--
WHO NOW CALLS HIMSELF TIME SKIP--
WAS IRRADIATED BY IT ONE WEEK AGO.
IT IMBUED HIM WITH THE POWER TO PHASE TIME,
ENABLING HIM TO LEAP MOMENTS AHEAD OF THE REST OF US.
THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN
WHY HE STOLE THE TROLBOT 9000.
ARTHUR'S QUITE A GENIUS HIMSELF.
HE SPENT YEARS DESIGNING A WEAPON
EXACTLY LIKE THE TROLBOT 9000.
WHEN HE LEARNED THE MILITARY DEVELOPED A BIGGER, MEANER BOT,
HE--HE TOOK IT HARD.
HE SET OUT TO ACQUIRE WHAT HE BELIEVES TO BE HIS.
AND THAT'S WHY I WAS CALLING!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!
NEXT TIME, I'LL TAKE A MESSAGE.
I'M A SUPER HERO, NOT A SECRETARY.
IN ORDER TO DEFEAT MY GRANDSON,
WE HAVE TO SET A TIME TRAP.
YOU CAN SHOW US WHAT HE'S GONNA DO?
OF COURSE. OBSERVE.
TIME OUT, LOONATICS.
Chroniker: NOW WATCH AS HE FREEZES TIME
AND GETS PAST YOU AND THE SECURITY,
ALLOWING HIM TO ENTER THE TROLBOT UNDETECTED.
ONCE INSIDE... HE'S UNSTOPPABLE.
LET'S TAKE A TOUR OF THE CITY!
Duck: WAIT. THIS LOOKS FAMILIAR.
Ace: RIGHT. WE CHASE THE BOT, AND HE BEATS US.
HEY, CAN THIS CONTRAPTION
SEND THINGS BACK THROUGH TIME?
YES, OF COURSE.
HMM. LET'S GET A HEAD START.
Tech: DR. CHRONIKER, REWIND THE CLOCK.
Ace: SO WE CAN UNDO THE DEJA VU.
[YAWNS] BREAKFAST?
APPARENTLY, YOU HAD ME SEND THIS TO YOU FROM LATER TODAY.
I HAD YOU SEND ME WHAT FROM WHEN?
OH. AND ALSO THESE PLANS FOR DR. CHRONIKER'S TIME DISPLACER.
I HAD YOU SEND US WHAT FROM WHO?
OH, PLEASE. NOTES SENT FROM LATER TODAY?
RIDICULOUS!
ZODAVIA'LL STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT WHEN SHE CALLS
IN THE NEXT FEW SECONDS--
[GASPS]
HUH?
LOONATICS, YOUR ASSISTANCE IS URGENTLY NEEDED
AT THE ACMETROPOLIS MILITARY WEAPONS LAB.
SOMEONE'S BROKEN IN AND IS TRYING TO STEAL--
THE TROLBOT 9000. HOW DO I KNOW THIS AGAIN?
BECAUSE WE'RE ALL REMEMBERING SHADOWS
OF THE FUTURE-- MENTAL FLASH-FORWARDS.
WE'RE MOVING IN TIME THROUGH A DAY THAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED.
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY.
YOU THINKIN' WHAT I'M THINKIN'?
I WAS ALREADY THINKING IT YESTERDAY.
LISTEN UP. SOME OF THIS MIGHT NOT MAKE ANY SENSE...
LIKE IT EVER DOES.
BUT HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
THIS'LL BE A PIECE OF CAKE. NO SECURITY ALARMS.
NOBODY HOME?
WEIRD.
NOT THAT I MIND.
HA HA HA HA HA!
DON'T WORRY. I'LL SOON NEUTRALIZE YOUR POWERS.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!
I CAN...AND I WILL.
IT'S FOR THE BEST.
[SIRENS APPROACH]
NO!
Duck: BON VOYAGE. SEE YA LAST WEEK.
[Time Skip yelling]
NOOOO!
AND I THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD NEVER END.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GONNA SAY THAT.
