03x03 - Inferno

[bunniefuu]

[wind whistling ]

[electricity buzzing ]

[ metal clanking ]

[engine shuts off]

[ rumbling in distance]

This is Dodge at pump .

Nothing new...

as usual.

[ crashing ]
What the --

[animal moaning ]

[animals moaning ]

[gasps ]

[door closes ]

[engine sputtering ]

Come on! Come on!

[sputtering continues ]

[animals moaning, growling ]

[vehicle approaching ]

Are we there yet?

GWEN:
[snoring ]

Does it look like it?

I'm just saying we
should hurry.

Grandpa Max wants us to check
out those things.

Another half-hour --

less if I kick in the ram jets.

You have ram jets?

GWEN:
No ram jets.

Trying to sleep.

[ beeping ]

Kevin?

Speed trap coming up.

Highway patrolman
with a radar g*n.

We're on duty.

Can you do something?

Can I do something?

[ beep]

[snoring ]

[ radar g*n beeping ]

[gasps ]

[tires screech ]

[animals moaning ]

[engine shuts off]

GWEN:
Cloaking field gives me
a headache.

Speeding tickets give
me a headache.

[animals moaning ]

Well, that's unnerving.

So? What's the big
deal if they eat a few rocks?

Looked in a mirror lately?

Pretty cool.

I.D. Mask?

[thud ]

Well, you look human, anyway.

Maybe now's not
the time for that.

But you still want to
stay away from those things.

Yeah, they'll have you
for lunch.

Hero time!

Humongousaur!

Humongousaur!

Humongousaur! Humongousaur!

Humongousaur! Ugh!

[grunting ]

Ben, where are you?!

Ben!

[grunts ]

[sniffing ]

Ow!

You got to be kidding me!

With you in a minute.

Brainstorm?

Bewildering.

[ cracking ]

[grunts ]

Can't hold it anymore!

Whoa!

Those cow things bit me!

Precisely why I
chose to surround them

with the metal rails.

I observed that they
only eat stone.

Lucky me.

MAX:
Those are Pyroxovors.

I haven't seen one in years.

How come we never
heard of them?

Kid, there's lots of species

here on Earth you won't
find in any book.

That's where fairy tales
come from.

Unicorns, trolls, pixies --

they're all real.

Even Bigfoot?

[ chuckles ]
Don't be ridiculous.

That's a guy in a suit.

Do you know what drove
them to the surface?

I don't know.

Something scared them

or made it too uncomfortable to
stay underground.

They're walking tanks.

What could make them
uncomfortable?

Let's go find out.

[vehicle approaching ]

How far does this go?

I don't know,
but this is as far as we go.

End of the road.

Now what?

[ rumbling, cracking ]

You had to ask.

[all screaming ]

[all screaming ]

I'll turn into Jetray
and slow us down!

You'll dent the roof!

[ beep]

[all grunt ]

Plan "B"?

I got one.

[tires screech ]

Cool!

Yeah, but that can't
be good for the suspension.

The car won't fit.

We'll have to go on foot.

There must be another way.

[ chuckles ]
What, are you claustrophobic?

I am so not
claustrophobic.

I-I just can't stand being in tight,
close spaces, okay?

You have a problem with that?!

I'll go first.

Dark.

No problem.

"TNT."

[ blows ]

KEVIN:
What did you do that for?

[ blows ]

- Cut it out!
- You cut it out!

The room's filled with dynamite!

You almost blew us up!

KEVIN:
How was I supposed to know?

BEN:
I don't know.

Reading?

I'll handle the lighting.

[ clattering ]

Move!

[grunts ]

Find some cover.

I'll make some cover.

There he goes!

No, he doesn't!

Big Chill!

Aah!

[grunts ]

Cool down,
or I'll do it for you.

[grunts ]

As soon as you let me go,
I'm a-blowin' you up!

Sure, you will.

It's pos-- aah!

Don't be afraid.

It's still me.

Not really helpin', sonny!

You're still ugly as all
get-out!

What's your name,
old-timer?

Moldywarp!

That's what your friends
call you?

Friends?!

[laughs ]

I don't got no friends!

You're the last of your
kind.

No such luck!

The Underworld is crawlin' with
folks like me.

I just don't like 'em much!

And they don't like me!

You don't say.

What are you doing with
all the expl*sives?

Oh, I've been stealin' that stuff

from the surface-dwellers
for years!

Some of this looks
pretty old.

It is!

TNT, blastin' caps,
nitroglycerine!

Primitive, but they sure get
the job done!

[laughs ]

What job is that?

Protectin' my herd!

Your herd?

Yeah! The Pyroxovors!

Real beauties, ain't they?

They tried to eat my
hand.

You shouldn't
let 'em do that.

Uh-huh.

He doesn't know anything.

We should ditch.

I heard you!

Why were you throwing
rocks at us, Moldywarp?

I couldn't get to my
expl*sives.

That's what I mostly use
on the other fella!

What other fella?

The claim jumper!

Don't you know nothin'?!

No, not so far.

No wonder the Pyroxovors came to
the surface.

It's like a furnace down here.

Is it always this hot?

No!

That's what I've been
tryin' to fix.

It's only been hot since all
that magma started seepin' up.

Magma?

Whoa.

[guards chattering ]

Who dares intrude
on the lair of the -- oh,

not you again!

Ah! So you do know him!

Volcanus?

Yeah, we know him.

We don't like him, though.

The feeling is mutual.

Destroy them!

[guards chattering ]

Come on.

We hammered these
losers last time.

Is that all you got?!

[ metal clanking ]

You had to ask.

[ metal clanking ]

Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We didn't even know you were
here, okay?

And, by the way,
why are you here?

Remember all that Taedenite
that I took off of you?

Yeah. I remember.

VOLCANUS:
Well, it was worth
a fortune.

And you'll be glad to know
I spent it wisely.

See, this is my planet now.

I filed a claim, paid the fees,
the whole bit.

Completely legal.

What does that mean --

"Planetary renovation permit"?

Exactly what it says!

I get to change the atmosphere,

the terrain,
the oceans any way I want.

That's what the b*mb's for!

VOLCANUS:
Yep!
I drop it down the shaft,

it explodes in the magma
at the center of the Earth,

and before you know it, I have
all the comforts of home.

Wait. Home?

Where you come from,
on a cool day, it's degrees.

Uh-huh.

[ chuckles ]

You thought I was crazy!

You can't do that!

Of course I can!

Watch.

[ beeping ]
[alarm blaring ]

You handle the runts and
the robots.

I'll stop Volcanus.

Yee-haw!

I was hopin' we'd get to some
fightin'!

Somebody do
something about her!

[laughs ]

Harsh.

I blows 'em up all the time.

I think they likes it.

[grunting ]

It's hero time, tin man!

Maybe my watch is fast.

[ cracking ]

[grunting ]

Ben, what are you waiting for?!

Maybe it's the heat!

Whoa!

Maybe you're doing it wrong!

Aah!

[grunting ]

Now get that varmint!

Spidermonkey!

[ chattering ]

Huh?!

[grunts ]

Stop the countdown.

Make me!

Stay put, will you?!

[grunts ]

[growls ]

[electricity crackling ]

[ roars ]

[ chattering ]

Ugh!

[grunting ]

I'm stuck!

I know.
I stuck you.

Now...stop the countdown.

I said stop it, not speed it up!

My mistake.

[shrieks ]
When that b*mb goes off,

the magma will come right up
into this chamber.

It'll k*ll you, too!

Are you crazy?!

That would be crazy.

[alarm beeping ]

[alarm blaring ]

That doesn't look good.

Ben, what are you doing?!

I can grab the b*mb
when it drops.

Spidermonkey isn't
strong enough to

catch something that heavy!

No, but I know
someone who is.

Humongousaur!

Ugh!

I really have to get that fixed.

KEVIN:
Ben, if that b*mb
reaches the Earth's core...

We're toast.

I'm on it!

[ both grunt ]

Well?

We're still here,
aren't we?

So, then...
everything's okay?

Abso-- wait.

Where's Moldywarp?

[timers clicking ]

Um, what's with the timers?

I figure what's to keep
Volcanus from comin' back

and droppin' another b*mb down
the shaft, huh?

After all, he did fill out
the paperwork.

[tires screech ]

[laughs ]

[timers clicking ]

[ bell dings ]

[ Pyroxovors groaning ]

I love it.

Volcanus spent a fortune on
filing fees

and got nothing in return.

And we saved Earth

from being turned into a giant
hot plate.

Now all we have to do

is get the Pyroxovors back
underground.

MOLDYWARP:
I'll handle that!

First, what say we celebrate
with a nice supper?

Supper?

Yes, sirree, bob!

This looks like a plump one!

[ Pyroxovor moans ]

You eat them?

[laughs ]

'Course I eats 'em!

They're my herd!

Now, who wants barbecue?!

BOTH:
Ew!

Now that you mention it,

I haven't had anything all day.

Ow!
What?

BEN:
[laughs ]
