01x18 - The Enemy of My Enemy

[bunniefuu]

Arg!

Thanks for stopping by.

Well, it's not like I

had a choice.

Right. So, let's get to it.

You know my sons, octagon and

rhomboid?

Sure.

Sometimes we do business.

Sometimes they try to k*ll me.

That's my boys.

Course, I wants 'em to have a

better life than I had.

What parent doesn't?

So that's why I signed 'em up

at that plumbers academy.

Only one of us is laughin',

boy.

Sorry.

I thought you were kidding.

The boys ain't doin' too good

on their exams.

I want you to make sure they do

do good.

You want me to be

their tutor?

I want you to fix their

grades so that they pass!

And if they don't, then I'm

gonna fix you.

I'm sure that ship

landed close by, unless the

sensors are off.

Or unless you set them

up wrong.

I didn't set them up

wrong.

Or unless you got us

lost.

I didn't get us...

Or unless you drive us into a

ditch!

Why don't you just say

what's on your mind?

Kevin's on the warpath, and you

think it's my fault!

Okay, yes!

That covers it.

Absorbing my ultimatrix has

driven Kevin every bit as crazy

as he was when he was a kid.

It's too late to take him back.

The only thing we can do now is

take him down.

You don't know that.

You can't...

stop!

Argit?

Why'd you jump in the way like

that?

No, that's okay.

I have another one at home.

Snap out of it.

Right. Snapping.

I've been looking all over for

you.

Kevin's not with u

and we're not buying whatever

you're selling.

No con. Not this time.

I'm turning myself in!

Why would you do that,

Argit?

Because Kevin's after

me.

How about you take it

from the top?

I needed some

equipment for a...Project I'm

doing.

So I flew to earth to see what I

could borrow from my old pal

Kevin.

Kevin?

Is that you?

It's me.

Hey, y-you don't look

so good.

I'm fine.

Taking care of some old

business.

What do you mean?

I've decided to get

back at anyone who ever did me

wrong...

Which puts you at the top of my

list.

Buddy! Pal!

Wait a minute! I can explain!

Explain what?

Pretty much anything!

I'm tired of your

tricks, Argit.

Then maybe you should

take a nap!

See?

That's what I'm talking about.

Always double-crossing me,

betraying me.

This is the last time, Argit.

Kevin, don't.

The last time you do

anything.

What do you want from

us?

Protection.

Lock me up. Throw away the key.

I don't care.

Just put me somewhere Kevin

can't find me.

We're not running a

weasel-relocation program.

Such an ugly spirit

for such a pretty girl.

Hang on. Let me think.

What about the lab at

Los Soledad?

First place he'd look.

We could hide you in the

null void.

There are too many

guys in there who don't like me.

There's a lot of that

going around.

Come on.

There's got to be some place you

could put me.

Maybe some police protection?

We could take you to the

plumbers academy.

That's the closest fortified

plumbers facility to earth.

Where they train new

plumbers for galactic police

duty?!

Not there! Anywhere but there!

Or we just let Kevin

have you.

Like I was saying, the

plumbers are a fine

organization.

I'd love to visit their school.

If Kevin figures out

that Argit got away from earth,

he'll come after him.

I'm counting on it.

We'll use Argit as bait, and

we'll have the whole academy

there to back us up.

And you're okay with

this?

I only want to pay my

debt to society.

And not get k*lled.

Just what pops Vreedle ordered.

This is your Captain

speaking.

Welcome aboard

rustbucket spaceways.

Please keep your seat belts

fastened until it is safe to

move about the...

Would you go already?!

What was that?

Bad news.

It's Kevin.

How'd he find us?

I don't know.

What do you think?

I knew nothing about

that.

I swear.

Let him in, or he'll

wreck the ship.

Why doesn't he just

phase through the hull?

Maybe he hasn't read

the big chill instruction book.

Let him in!

Doofus, you've got the

powers of a ghost!

Come in already!

We just got this thing fixed

from the last time you wrecked

it.

Don't act like we're

still friends.

Kevin, we are your

friends.

A friend of mine

wouldn't protect Argit.

We're trying to protect

you.

You're making a mistake.

No, helping Argit is a

mistake.

Trying to stop me is a mistake.

And stealing my car... big

mistake.

Come on, Kevin.

We weren't stealing...

Jetray!

Hang on to something!

Why did you do that?

Because you couldn't

stop him.

Because he's too strong.

Because he was gonna k*ll us.

That's right.

I just wanted to hr you say

it.

What are we gonna do

now?

Get away.

And fast.

Look at you two... all grown

up!

Nice to see you,

Magister Coronach.

Thanks for letting us

drop in on such short notice.

Ah, anything for a Tennyson.

How's your grandpa?

He's on Galvan prime,

recovering from an injury.

Max Tennyson is tough as

nails.

He'll be back on the b*at in

no...

what's he doing here?

Ben's using him as

bait.

To catch who?

Kevin Levin.

He's kind of lost it.

So you decided to turn my

academy into a w*r zone without

asking me?

No.

Well, sort of.

Okay, yes.

Anything for a Tennyson, right?

Argit, you're going into a

cell.

Sure thing.

What time's the breakfast

buffet?

You two, in my office.

Now.

What's the matter with you?

Must have ate something on earth

that didn't agree with me.

Let's get you to your cell.

Then I'll call a medic.

You don't understand.

I got to use your facilities.

My what?

Your latrine, your

lavatory, your little boys'

room!

And hurry, or this hall gets a

new color scheme!

I'm gonna burst!

Hang on.

I-it's just around the corner.

You okay in there?

I don't get paid enough for

this.

This is not a prison or a

b*ttlefield!

It's a place of learning.

Obviously you've never

seen my High School.

Those cadets out there aren't

ready for this.

They're rookies.

And you've put them in the line

of fire.

I have half a mind to lock you

up, too.

What do you say about that?

Did I ever mention that

I saved the universe?

Come on.

There's got to be a records

room, a data center, something.

Space cop. Totally legit.

Nothing to see here.

Don't these guys ever go to

class?

Hey! Argit!

A plumbers academy strikes

one as a somewhat improbable

place to find an intergalactic

reprobate such as yourself.

Keep it down, will

you?

You guys aren't exactly model

citizens.

Are too!

Octagon and me are what y'all

call probational cadets!

We're attempting to what you

might call improve ourselves

and make our daddy proud...

So he doesn't have us whacked.

Again.

Unfortunately, our particular

kind of intelligence isn't the

sort that correlates to test

scores.

We're flunkin' out.

Today's your lucky

day, Vreedles.

Your dad sent me here to fix

your test scores.

That changes the complexion

of our dilemma considerably.

We ain't gonna flunk no more!

Hold it down, will

you?

Now, if anybody asks you, you

ain't seen me and you don't know

me.

Ain't seen you.

Don't know you.

Exactly.

Just play dumb.

Scratch that.

Be yourselves.

Got to be here

somewhere.

Nope.

Wrong.

Pardon me, sir.

Is this where they keep the

cadets' test scores?

Why, yes, it is.

Oh, good.

Wow, they even spelled

their own names wrong.

Long-range sensors are

picking up something coming in

fast.

Unknown spacecraft, please

identify.

Unknown spacecraft, please

identify.

What kind of ship is that?

It's not a ship.

We seem to have fallen into

good fortune, grub-wise.

It's Kevin.

This is your mess, Tennyson.

I hope you've got a plan to

clean it up.

Me too.

% on their essays?

Nobody'd ever believe that.

How about a %?

Okay, you got me, but I can

explai...

I mean, I could if I had to.

Hold fire till I give the

order.

You got that?

Yeah, but I'm bad at

following orders.

Get off my station!

Not a problem.

Soon as I get Argit.

This isn't about Argit.

This is about you and me.

Don't flatter

yourself.

Your turn will come.

Hey, felon!

Don't look away from me!

I was talking to you!

You were right,

Magister.

I thought your cadets would

soften up Kevin for me.

But this is my fight.

So I'm going to finish it.

Humongousaur!

Not impressed.

Ultimate humongousaur!

How do you like me now?

That can't be good.

Aah! He's here!

Kevin's here!

Octagon! Rhomboid!

"Pardon-ay mois"?

Do we know you?

What?

Of course you kn...

no, sirree, we ain't never

had the pleasure of meeting that

particular individual.

Oh, for cr...

we're what you call playin'

dumb!

Ugh! New rules.

You do know me.

Well, then, howdy!

So, what's goin' on?

Kevin's here on the

station!

You got to help me!

"Provisional cadets."

Whatever!

What kind of weapons do you

have?

That could work.

For old time's sake,

I'll make this quick.

Don't you dare!

You too?

I thought you cared about me.

Get him! Get him!

Get him!

What is that?

That is what you'd call a

nuclear fusion grenade.

Ought to blow up Kevin real

good.

Not to mention this

whole space station and everyone

in it!

I had not fully considered

that fact.

Echo echo!

Ultimate echo echo:

Ultimate echo echo.

Kev, cut me some

slack, will you?

Remember all the good times we

had?

No.

But I'm gonna remember this.

No more.

Please.

Kevin!

That's enough!

You're right.

How could you?!

Kevin, he was your friend.

Yeah. He was.

Give yourself up,

Kevin.

Don't make me...

The only reason you're alive is

because of what you used to mean

to me.

Ben?

He just came back through the

airlock.

He's pretty banged up, though.

I'll live.

That's more than Argit can

say.

You can get up now.

He's dead, son.

No, he's playing dead.

Come on, Argit. Show's over.

Is he gone yet?

Hey, if I hadn't shut off my

pulse, he would have kept

hitting me!

Shut off your pulse?

How do you think a

species that obnoxious managed

to survive so long?

Well, if you'll excuse me...

We have some unfinished

business.

Such as?

You assaulted two of my

cadets, not to mention the

active warrants for your

arrest.

Or did you forget?

Actually, I sort of

did.

Lock him up.

You ain't serious.

Oh, yes, we is.

Or "are."

Now that we is genuine

cadets.

Or "are."

I am having a very bad

day.

What happened with

Kevin?

He got away.

But maybe it's not too late.

Maybe we can still help him.

And maybe we can't.
