Come on out, Trukk.
Your days are up.
Time to get back to work.
Welcome back, Trukk.
Been quiet around here without
you.
No talking. Work.
So, I hear there's been some
changes while I was in solitary.
Some new guy in the chain g*ng?
Yeah.
Show him to me.
I'm gonna need to hurt him some,
just so he knows who's in charge
around here.
Uh, don't think you really
want to do that.
Yeah? Why not?
Because...
That's the guy.
Big waste of time, Gwen.
There's nothing we can do.
Kevin's been missing
for over a week.
Not missing.
He left us... his choice.
No, Ben, it's not his
fault.
He touched the ultimatrix to
save us.
It's not his fault the power
affected his mind.
Maybe not.
But fair or not, he has to pay
the price.
It was insane.
I'm at lunch, right?
And this monster shows up and
says that it's Kevin Levin.
He claims I owe him bucks that
i borrowed from him five years
ago.
So... so I say I don't remember
borrowing any money from him,
and, well...
You can see what happened next.
We're really sorry
about this, Barry.
All of your hospital expenses
will be taken care of.
So, that was really Kevin?
What's wrong with him?
He's been settling old
scores... big ones, small ones.
It's all the same to him.
He's not well.
He didn't mean to hurt you.
Did a pretty good job for not
trying.
Look at him... thinks he's
better than us.
Ah, let it go, Trukk.
He ain't bothering nobody.
He's bothering me!
Fresh meat!
You know who I am?!
Don't know, don't
care.
Name's Trukk.
I'm top dog here.
Good for you.
Go bury a bone or something.
Unh!
Prisoner, you're coming with
us.
For what?
Whoa, wait, you're making a
mistake.
I saw the whole thing.
Trukk, uh, stepped on his own
pick and knocked himself out.
Sensor logs indicate...
sensor, Shmensor.
You want to stand here arguing
or do you want to get this guy
to the infirmary?
Warden won't be too happy to
lose a good worker Liktrukk.
All of you, back to work.
You're welcome.
Don't remember asking
for help.
Name's quince.
You look like you could use a
friend.
Looks can be
deceiving.
So can so-called friends.
Real charmer, ain't he?
Ah, there's something about
that guy... something...
Familiar.
Find anything?
I was hoping maybe
Kevin had left something behind
to tell us where he was going
next, but...
Something like this?
What is it?
Don't recognize it?
Well, I do.
Come on, let's go find Kevin.
Just figured out why you're
so familiar to me.
I know you.
Couldn't.
I just got here.
Nah, you were here before, a
few years ago.
You're Kevin Levin.
No, I'm not!
And if you repeat that lie, I
will squash you like a bug!
We understand each other?!
Hey, no worries.
I was your friend, remember?
I still am.
I'm just sorry you got yourself
thrown back into this pit after
everything you went through to
get out.
I came back here on
purpose.
On pur... why would anybody
come here on purpose?
Revenge.
You sure about this?
We're not expecting a delivery
of new prisoners.
The teleporter has been
activated from the other side,
sir.
Arm blasters... be
ready for anything.
Activate teleport receiver.
Huh?
Hey, easy, guys.
We come in peace?
You aren't supposed to
be here.
We're no happier about
this than you are, warden morgg.
There's a procedure,
remember?
Once a criminal's captured,
you're supposed to teleport them
here.
That's all.
Incarcicon is off-limits to the
plumbers.
You're violating the rules.
We're not here on
plumber business.
We're here to warn you.
We believe there's
someone in this prison who wants
you dead.
Everyone in this
prison wants me dead, little
lady.
It comes with the job.
But I assure you, I am perfectly
safe.
Now, I appreciate your concern,
but I'd appreciate it even more
if you'd just leave my facility.
The teleport system
only works in one direction,
remember?
People can beam in, but they
can't beam out.
Guess we'll just have to
wait here for the next supply
transport ship.
That's tomorrow, right?
You knew that when you
came here.
Show these two to temporary
quarters, and keep them
comfortable until the supply
ship arrives.
Thanks.
Appreciate the hospitality.
Just watch your back, okay?
We were serious about the
danger.
Keep an eye on our
guests.
The last thing I need is for the
plumbers to learn what's really
going on here.
You don't look much like you
did the last time you was here.
Different look, same
nightmare.
Nobody touches me, you hear me?!
Nobody!
Come on, if you've got the guts!
Feisty little thing, ain't
he?
Angry mostly.
I know the feeling.
That's enough, kid.
It's time to cool off.
Make me.
Your choice.
Name's Kwarrel.
When you finally decide to let
go of that anger, you know where
to find me.
What's with the mining
gear?
I didn't know this was a labor
camp.
I am not programmed to
provide that information.
These will be your quarters
until the supply ship arrives.
Nice.
Locked?
Like that's a surprise.
As I recollect, it took a lot
more convincing before you
finally came around.
I need...Help.
All you ever had to do was
ask.
Kwarrel took you under his
wing, taught you to control your
anger and your powers.
But there was a guard who hated
kwarrel and his influence on a
lot of the cons.
And while you got better,
Morgg's hatred grew worse.
Yeah, kwarrel changed
my life, all right, in more ways
than one.
There's nothing more I can
teach you, kid.
You don't belong here anymore.
Ain't like I've got a
choice.
Listen, I've been working on
a way out of this pit.
If you want, we can go together.
Whenever you say.
And that's when morgg put his
plan into action.
Somehow he started a major riot
in the yard.
Come with me.
I've been digging this tunnel in
secret for years.
Now's the time to use it.
Going somewhere, boys?
Morgg.
Took you long enough.
I found your tunnel months ago.
Nice try.
Too bad you both got vaporized
trying to escape.
Kwarrel?
Forget about me, kid! Run!
Get out while you can!
I can't!
Don't argue, kid! Run!
I was a coward. I ran.
The sound of Morgg's blaster
will haunt me the rest of my
life.
Hey, you did what kwarrel
told you, kid.
That's all.
Kwarrel is gone, and
that creep morgg is still
breathing.
Morgg's the warden now.
You can't touch him.
He got rid of the old guards,
replaced them all with robots.
Then he started using all the
prisoners to mine this glowing
blue crud down here.
Morgg is gonna pay for
what he's done... pay in full.
Any luck?
Does it look like I'm
having any luck?
Goop!
Ever pick a lock
before?
No. Is it hard?
Let's find Kevin.
This prison wasn't designed as a
mining colony.
What are they digging for?
Let's ask.
Whatever's down here,
morgg doesn't want anyone on the
outside to know about it.
Which is why he replaced
all the guards with robots.
Well, it's not gonna
stay morgg's secret for long.
I'm sorry to hear you
say that.
I'm even more sorry that you
ignored my warning and that the
other prisoners got to you
before I could save you.
Try not to make too big a mess,
won't you, boys?
Can't keep this up!
Nice.
Let's find some cover.
Dead end.
Then we stand and fight.
Humongousaur!
We need to find Kevin!
We need to stay
alive fir...
Ben, no!
Ben, what are you doing?!
Stop! It's me! It's Gwen!
Monster,
where's my cousin?!
Right here, Ben.
Can't you see me?!
Ben, there's something wrong
with you.
Ben!
Stop for a second and listen to
me!
You're not thinking straight!
I'm Gwen!
Look at me!
Gwen?
That's what I've been
trying to tell you.
Sorry about that.
I-I thought you were a monster.
Seriously?
I was seeing all kinds
of stuff.
That blue dust I swallowed
must have made me hallucinate.
Now we know what morgg
is trying to hide.
He's forcing the
prisoners to mine some sort of
alien dream dust.
Quite the career
path... from prison guard to
prison warden to intergalactic
drug trafficker.
You forgot the part
where he ends up in jail.
Not if Kevin finds him
first.
Kid, please, don't do this.
Guards catch us, we're finished.
By the time anyone
notices we're missing, it'll be
over...
For morgg.
I know how you felt about
kwarrel.
I felt the same way.
But you waste morgg and you undo
everything kwarrel did for you.
I owe kwarrel.
I can't just let his m*rder*r
walk away free.
And I won't.
Easy now, boys.
Let's not do anything you're
gonna regret.
You go back to work and I'll
forget this ever happened.
But I won't forget!
You m*rder*d my friend just so
you could make a lousy buck!
And now I'm gonna shove as much
of this as I can down your
throat before clubbing you to a
pulp with your own arms!
Do you really think
I'd walk among you animals
without taking appropriate
precautions?
Think again.
You all wear those collars for a
reason.
What's wrong with them?
Some sort of sonic
feedback!
Those collars are k*lling them!
And if sonics is the problem,
then the solution is...
Echo echo!
You, uh, might want to cover
your ears.
Echo echo!
Prisoners, you are instructed
to return to your work
immediately.
I think our work here is
done.
Game over, morgg.
You lose!
Kevin, no!
Please, don't do this!
Forget it, Gwen.
Nothing's gonna save that slug.
Armodrillo!
Let me go, Tennyson!
He's getting away!
I can't let you
hurt him, Kevin.
Then I'll just have to
hurt you!
Ben, watch out!
He's gone.
We'll find him.
Going down?
You can have half of
the profits.
You can have the whole thing,
anything you want!
Yeah?
Can I have kwarrel back?
Your turn.
Where are we?
We're in the mine's
deepest tunnel.
Okay, we take the
elevator, work our way up one
floor at a time.
Turbo!
Warden.
Nice of you to drop in.
I can't wait to hear how you're
gonna explain all this to the
plumbers.
What hit this place?
I think we did.
Any sign of Kevin?
Long gone.
He thought that slug was
finished, so he took off.
And you didn't leave,
too?
I still got time to serve.
Most of the prisoners
are escaping.
Shouldn't we do something?
They're out of prison,
but they're stuck in the
null void.
That's probably punishment
enough.
Gwen, you see what Kevin's
capable of now.
That's why we have to
help him.
I think we're past that.
I think...
We have to put him down.
What's that supposed to
mean?
