I SEE YOU'VE HAD QUITE AN IMPROVEMENT
FROM LAST YEAR IN THE NON-TECHNOLOGY HERO DEPARTMENT.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE LAB MORE.
WELL, KEEP IT UP.
IT'S MOST IMPRESSIVE.
YEAH, YEAH, IMPRESSIVE, SCHMESSIVE.
TECHIE'S REAL TOUGH.

RIP ON, HIT ME!
ZODAVIA, LOOK OUT!

HA HA!
TIME TO GET FUNKY WITH DANGER DUCK!
LET'S BREAK...

Bootes: WHOA! UHH!
UHH!
ALL RIGHT, BOYS,
IT'S TIME FOR OUR BIG FINALE!
GOOD NIGHT, AND THANK YOU, ACMETROPOLIS!
LOOKS LIKE THE MUSIC MAKERS
BOOGIED ON OUT OF HERE.
WHY DO I GET THE FEELING WE'RE GONNA SEE THEM AGAIN?
WHO WERE THOSE GUYS?
AND WHERE DID THEY GET THOSE FUNKY INSTRUMENTS?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TUNE THEY PLAYED.
I THINK I ONCE HEARD IT ON FRELENG.
HMM. TOO BUBBLEGUM FOR ME.
Computer: EMERGENCY.
EMERGENCY!
COMMUNICATION SECURITY BREACHED.
UH, WHAT'S UP, BABY?
IT'S JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, BABY.
I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE IN MY LIFE!
MAYBE YOU'RE NOT LOOKING CLOSE ENOUGH, "Z."
MUST HAVE ONE OF THOSE FACES EASY TO FORGET.
BUT, UH, DON'T WORRY,
WE'LL MEET AGAIN.
SOON, ZADY.
YEAH.
OLD BOYFRIEND PROBLEMS?
LIKE I SAID, I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD DO SOME SNOOPIN',
AND SEE WHERE "HANDSOME" AND HIS FUNKY BAND PLAY NEXT.
OH! WHAT?
THE LUMERIAS FLOWER OF FRELENG.
IT CAN'T BE.
NOT HERE.
NO!
OH, YEAH, ZADY!
AND GUESS WHO?
MISS OL' BOOTES HEH HEH HEH.
WHAT
NO, NO, NO!
IT'S "WHAT'S HAPPENIN'," BABY.
AND IT AIN'T YOU, THAT'S FOR SHIZZLE, BOBBLE.
SO, HOW YOU LIKE MY LITTLE GIFT?
THE BLACK DWARF DAISY,
A COSMIC LIGHT-SUCKER.
NO PHOTONS ESCAPE ITS PETALS.
AND FOR A CAT LIKE YOU,
WHOSE MIGHT COME FROM THE LIGHT,
IT'S A REAL DRAIN ON THE BRIZZ-IZZAIN, BABY.
I--I'LL DESTROY YOU.
JUST DON'T MAKE ANY PROMISES YOU CAN'T KEEP.
HA HA HA! OH, HIT ME!
THAT'S THE SEVENTH CLUB, AND NO BOOTES.
WE GOT ZIP.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.
Ace: YOU'RE HOPELESS, DUCK.
IT'S ZODAVIA!
CODE RED! SHE'S IN TROUBLE!
LET'S JET!
Woman: DUCKY BOY, YOO-HOO!
SOMEONE HIT THE LIGHTS!
Danger: THIS IS BAD.
VERY BAD!
Ace: YEAH.
WHERE'S ZODAVIA?
BOY, LOOKS LIKE THE MAID'S IN FOR A BUTT-KICKIN'.
UH, I DON'T THINK A MAID DID THIS, DUCK.
TECH, RUN THE SECURITY CAM FOOTAGE.
Ace: WHAT'S THAT?
NO!
- HEY! - WHOA!
HEY, LOONIES!
ZADY'S A LITTLE IN THE DARK ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING.
SO, UH, I'M GONNA SHED A LITTLE FLASHLIGHT ON IT,
YOU DIG?
HELP ME, LOONATICS.
I'M BEING HELD PRISONER.
I NEED LIGHT.
I FEEL SO WEAK.
WHADDYA WANT, BOOTES?
IF YOU WANT YOUR BOSS BABE TO FINISH THE GIG,
THERE'S A LITTLE COSMIC GUITAR
I'D LIKE UGLY COYOTE TO FUNKENSTEIN UP FOR ME.
DO THAT, AND ZADY--
SHE CAN GO FREE AS A BIRD!
SO WHERE'S THE DROP?
ASK THE BOW-WOW.
I'M SURE BY NOW HE'S GOT A FIX.
YOU GOT HIS SIGNAL?
IT CAME FROM THE OLD RAILYARD, OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
CAN YOU BUILD THE GUITAR HE WANTS?
IS THE LINE INTEGRAL OF THE MAGNETIC FLUX
AROUND A CLOSED CURVE PROPORTIONAL
TO THE ALGEBRAIC SUM OF ELECTRICAL CURRENTS
FLOWING THROUGH THAT CLOSED CURVE?
YES. DUH.
WE GOTTA DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO GET OUR ZODAVIA BACK.
YOU REALLY DO CARE ABOUT HER.
YOU BET. WE SAVE BOSS LADY,
OH!
- GOOD JOB! - WOW, TECH!
YOU'RE A GENIUS.
EVERYBODY KNOW THE PLAN?
CHECK.
YEAH! WHAT?
I--I MEAN, CHECK!
HEH.
DOUBLE CHECK.
Ace: YOU GOT ANYTHING, TECH?
YEAH.
BANDITS! YOO-HOO!
HEY, LOONIES.
IF IT AIN'T A BLAST FROM THE PAST.
YOU GOT THE PACKAGE, BABY?
YEAH, BABY. WE GOT IT.
NOW WHERE'S ZODAVIA?
NO BIG THING. HA HA HA! OW!
PRESENTING...
YOUR COSMIC LEADING LADY, ZADY!
SO, ARE WE GONNA DANCE?
ONLY IF I GET TO LEAD.
THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, ZADY.
GIVE HIM THE FUNK, BOYS!
AAH!
PLAY THAT SONG WITH THE FUNKY BEAT,
AND BEAT 'EM SILLY, BABIES!
I'M IN THE GROOVE, BOBBLE. HIT ME!
NICE SHOT WITH THE GLUCO-GEL, TECH.
NOW, BOOTES, YOU'LL BE SINGING
ANOTHER TUNE WHERE YOU'RE GOING,
TO THE HOKEY-POKEY.
WHAT'S THIS?
Lexi: MANNEQUINS
Man: HERE'S HOW, LOONATICS.
ZODAVIA!
ZODAVIA.
SHE'S A HOLOGRAM!
WHOO-HOO! HEH HEH HEH!
LET'S MAKE SOME FUNKY MUSIC, BOYS!
BANDITS!
I AM THE BOOTES!
LOVE TO STAY AND RAP,
BUT, UH, GOT ANOTHER GIG UPTOWN, BOBBLES.
THANKS FOR THE STRINGS, HAIRBALL.
Bootes: GOOD NIGHT, AND THANK YOU, BOBBLES.
THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT, LOONATICS!
MY...ENERGY IS--
GOING...GOING...
GONE, THANKS TO MY TECHNO-WACKO MUSICAL GENIUS.
NOW, TO DRAIN YOUR POWER
INTO MY COSMIC GUITAR!
BUT...WHY?
YOU NEVER PAID ANY ATTENTION TO ME
BACK ON FRELENG.
BUT MAYBE YOU'LL PAY ATTENTION TO ME NOW, ZADY.
OH! RUPES OBERON?
HEH HEH HEH!
SO YOU DO REMEMBER?
YOU WERE ALWAYS SO BUSY HANGING WITH THE ELITE,
ALWAYS OBSESSED WITH GLOBAL GALAXY ISSUES.
ALL I WANTED WAS TO BECOME A MEMBER OF YOUR COURT
AND TO SERVE YOU.
I EVEN BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT.
FOR YOU, MY LADY.
I WANTED IT TO BE FRELENG'S NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM,
SO I COULD BE REMEMBERED FOREVER.
BUT YOU IGNORED ME
AND MY MUSIC!
BUT RUPES, WE ALREADY HAD A NATIONAL ANTHEM--
THAT HAD WORDS.
BUT MINE WAS BETTER!
* YEOW!
NO!
ANYWAY, NOW I HAVE THE POWER--
YOUR POWER.
AND THINGS ARE GONNA BE DIFFERENT.
PEOPLE ARE GONNA KNOW WHO I AM.
WITH THE HELP
OF MY GALACTIC FUNK BAND!
BABY!
YOU HAVE TO DIG.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KEY MAN'S BIG PLAN
TO MAKE THE UNIVERSE SIT UP AND NOTICE HIM.
JUST LIKE THEY NOTICE ME, BOBBLES.
AFTER PERFORMING A SONIC SCAN
OF EACH OF THE BAND MEMBERS USING MY BIO-QUANTUM FILTER,
THEY'RE ALL MANNEQUINS, EXCEPT FOR ONE.
YOU MEAN LIKE PUPPETS?
YEAH. BUT WHO'S PULLING THE STRINGS?
THAT WOULD BE THE KEYBOARD MAN.
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE WANTED
THE 64-STRING GUITAR.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE STRING THEORY?
OF COURSE. IT'S THAT STUFF THAT YOU WRAP
AROUND YOUR PINKIE SO THAT YOU DON'T, UH...
YOU DON'T, UH...
AH, I FORGOT.
THINK OF THE UNIVERSE AS A GALACTIC ORCHESTRA,
THE KEYBOARD MAN KNOWS THAT IF HE CAN CHANNEL
ZODAVIA'S ENERGY INTO HIS GUITAR,
HE CAN USE THAT POWER TO CONTROL THE UNIVERSE.
UH, YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT STRING?
SO IF "FINGERS" WAS TOUGH BEFORE,
HE'LL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP NOW.
THEN, WHAT'S HIS NEXT MOVE?
BEATS ME. I'M A BRILLIANT SCIENTIST,
NOT A MOODY MUSICIAN.
A MOODY MUSICIAN LOOKING FOR ATTENTION.
WHATEVER HE'S GONNA TRY,
HE'LL WANT THE BIGGEST AUDIENCE POSSIBLE.
All: GALAXYFEST!
THE ULTIMATE CONCERT OF CONCERTS.
WE GOTTA FIGURE OUT A WAY TO STOP HIM
AND GET ZODAVIA BACK!
LET'S JET!
Ace: HEY, KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.
THE KEY MAN'S GOTTA BE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
YOO-HOO! HEY, LOONIES!
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT TO THE GAME, BOBBLES.
ME AND THE BAND WANNA WELCOME YOU
WITH A LITTLE SONG I CALL,
KISS YOUR BUTTS BYE-BYE, LOONATICS!
GO AHEAD, WORM BRAIN!
HIT ME!
All: AAH!
All: UHH!
YOW!
SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP UP
WITH THIS LITTLE NUMBER, BOOTES.
HA HA HA, HOO HOO!
AAH!
OH, YEAH.
IT'S TIME TO TAKE TOTAL CONTROL.
ONE UNIVERSE UNDER ONE GROOVE.
MY GROOVE!
NOT IF I CAN HELP IT.
Rupes: BLAST HER, BOOTES!
Rupes: ONCE I BOOGIE MY WAY
THROUGH THIS WORMHOLE AND FIND THE OTHER DOG
OF EQUAL POWER,
THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WILL BE PLAYING
MY TUNE, BABY!
Zodavia: STOP HIM!
HE'S GONE.
GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD MUSIC, I ALWAYS SAY.
YOU KNOW, DUCK HAS A POINT.
WE CAN ALWAYS GET THE GUITAR BACK.
I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S NOT JUST THE GUITAR
