I've been here in the jungle
for over a month now, Ben.

You'd like it here.
The jungle, it changes you.

And who likes changes
more than you do?

"Hero," "villain" --

words like that have no meaning
here in the heart of darkness.

[ Crazed laughing ]

Hey, buddy,
what's going on in there?

Oh, read the sign!
It's out of order!

Oh, boy, there it is.

Hurry, guys, we really
lucked out getting

these free
Adrenaworld West tickets.

How did we even get mail
in the Rustbucket?

[ Whistling ]

Oh!
Oh, well, I'll be.

Hey, thanks!

More importantly --
why are we in line

for the Congo A Go Go?

What?
You kids love this ride.

When we were, like, .

Ben's right.
It's kind of a baby ride.

The Congo A Go Go
is no baby ride.

It is the epic adventure
in genuine jungle action.

Just look at these creepy
bruxa puppets.

A witch doctor gets a strand
of your hair on one of these,

your eyes glow purple
and you become a helpless puppet

under their
[spookily] evil command.

[ Exasperated ]
Grandpa...

Dolls are not cool.
The Congo A Go Go is not cool.

You know what is cool?
The expl*si*n Coaster.

Man: Whoa, my brains
are coming out of my ears!

Hey, I've got a fun idea --
why don't you stay here,

and me and Gwen will go on
the actually fun rides.

[ Whimpers ]

Not today. Today,

Team Tennyson
is sticking together.

[ Ben and Gwen groan ]

Hey, we're next.

♪ Team Tennyson ♪

Jill: Over here, you'll see
our ferocious Amazon crocs!

You know what every
great explorer says --

they have snappy comebacks.

[ Laughter ]

"Snappy comebacks."
[ Laughs ]

Ugh. The only thing dangerous
in here are those puns.

Whoa, what is that?

"Awesome fun zone"?
I love fun!

[ Sighs ]
I remember fun.

Oh, look quick, kids!

There's our famous
dancing monkeys.

Looks like they're doing
the oranga-tango!

Orangutans
aren't monkeys!

Hey, Ben,
what are you doing?

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

I'm on my own tour boat.

And this tour boat is
heading down Top Secret River.

What?
You can't leave me here.

Sorry, cuz,
law of the jungle --

it's survival
of the awesomest.

[ Water splashing ]

Aah! Huh?

A robo-panther?

Nice play, Congo A Go Go,

but you'll need to do way better
if you're gonna compete

with expl*si*n -- uh.
Uh...

[ Chuckles nervously ]
That was cool...

in a creepy kind of way.

Ow!

[ Growling ]

[ Grunting ]

This so some
crazy-good animatronics!

Whoa!
Uh, bad kitty!

[ Whirring ]

[ Grunts ] Ooh!

Ugh.
Uh, uh, nice kitty.

Aah! Don't eat me.

I taste terrible.

Ugh! Ow!

Hey, this is not
Awesome Top Secret Fun!

[ Caws ]

[ Evil laugh ]
Isn't it?

First, a robo-panther,

and then
a flesh-eating bird?

You guys need to get back
to the drawing board.

This ride is --

Bleh, ugh...

Jill: And these guys
are always saying one thing

and doing another --

Total "hippo-crites."
[hypocrites]

[ Laughter ]

Even Ben would've loved
that one.

Wait, where did Ben go?

[ Snoring ]
Uh -- uh, getting churros?

But what about Team Tennyson?

Jill: Hey, little guy,
explorer rule number one --

we stay on the boat.

[ Groaning ]

Grandpa, Gwen, ugh,
I feel weird!

Somebody help me!

[ Zip! ]

[ Muffled speaking,
grunting ]

Ben?
What's he doing?

[ Muffled grunting ]

Gwen:
I think he's dancing.

♪

Huh.
Well, that's weird.
[ Laughter ]

I didn't know he could
dance like that.

He can't.

[ Beeping ]

Jill: Oh, my.

[ All coughing ]

Oh, my, what an exotic,

um, uh, greeting.
[ Chuckles nervously ]

Hopefully,
that was "goodbye," as well.

Ben!

[ All screaming ]

Did you see his eyes?

[ Screaming continues ]

I'm going after him.

You're not going anywhere.

I have to.
It's like you said --

Team Tennyson
sticks together.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

Tim:
Ugh, that's no fun.

You've turned back into
your dumb boy self.

I didn't make you do that.

[ Muffled speech ]
Guh!

I can't control when I time out.
Who are you?

Don't you recognize
your arch nemesis --

[ Grunts ]
Tim Buktu?

Tim Buktu?
You're not my arch nemesis.

You're not even like
my fourth nemesis.

[ Laughing ]
Oh, good one, Ben.

Of course
I'm your worst enemy.

But soon, you'll be
your own worst enemy.

I'm totally serious.

You're more like some
smelly guy who smells bad!

[ Laughs ]

As much as I love trading
these arch-enemy barbs,

my evil plan
has a schedule.

Oh, dang it.

The employees changed
the locks on me again --

just like my mom.
Uh, forget that last bit, okay?

That wasn't Ben.
He was being controlled somehow.

I could see it in his eyes.
Wait -- purple eyes.

It's like you were saying
about those puppets before.

Oh, the bruxa puppets?

That would explain
his new-found dance moves.

Someone's trying
to make him look bad --

and they're doing
a good job of it, too.

Who would do something
so evil?

Grandpa, Gwen,
he's going to --

[ Zip! ]

Tim: Now, now, Ben,

don't ruin the surprise.

[ Gasps ] Surprise!

[ Grunts ]

Hello, Tennysons.

Welcome to a front-row seat for
the greatest revenge plot ever!

Tim Buktu?

More like,
Tim Buk-pee-yew.

Oh, good one, Gwen.

[ Muffled grunt ]

[ Both gasp ]

[ Muffled grunting ]

Ben, fight it!

[ Muffled grunting ]

Aah!

[ Laughs ]
Don't bother, girlie.

He can't hear you.
He's a loner -- like me.

Ben, stop!

[ Muffled grunting ]
Aah!

You heard your cousin,
Ben.

What do you have to say
to that?

Wha-- what do I have to say?

Grandpa --

Right behind you, Ben.

You want to play
like that?

[ Grunting ]
Fine, let's play.

[ Grunting ]

[ Groans ]

Grandpa!

Oh, sh**t.
Ben, time to go.

Our moment in the spotlight
is almost here.

Grandpa,
they're getting away.

[ Groaning ]
My ankle.

You go. I'll --
I'll catch up.

You get that doll --
and remember, Team Tennyson!

Right -- doll,
Team Tennyson!

This ends now,
you two-bit Tarzan!

"Two-bit"? What is it with
you guys and numbers?

I'm an arch nemesis!

[ Crazed laughing ]

Aah!

[ Gasps ] Oh, no, the tour boat
is coming through here!

Exactly!
And in mere moments,

they're about to have
the ride of their lives,

courtesy of your cousin --
the so-called hero.

He is a hero,
and you're a weirdo!

Well, we'll see about
that, won't we?

Show her, Ben.

Show everybody what kind
of hero you really are.

[ Beeping ]

Huh? Aah!

Seriously, Ben, are you
even trying to fight it?

Aah! [ Grunts ]

As much as I love
watching you two fight,

Ben and I have a date
with fate.

Isn't that right, Ben?

[ Grunting ]

I'm gonna get you,
Tim Buktu!

Aah!

Get out of here!

[ Whimpers ]

Ben, no!

Aah! [ Grunts ]

You -- you saved me?

You've only saved her
long enough

to see you become
a villain.

[ Laughs ]

Look,
you pitiful fool.

[ Growls, gasps ]

Let's take this boat
on a little detour.

Don't do this, Tim.
This is between you and me --

[ Zip! ]

[ Muffled grunting ]

[ Chuckling ] Oh,
I never get tired of that.

Bon voyage, Tennyson.

Well, it appears
we're being boarded

by some kind
of plant pirate.

Isn't that "unbe-leaf-able?"
[unbelievable]

Eek! Uh, um, I'd love to
continue the tour, kids,

but it looks like we're going
completely off script!

-Ben, fight it!
-You're too late.

That boat full of kids
is heading for the big falls,

and your cousin
is steering the ship.

And you know what
the best part is?

I'll have a souvenir photo
of him doing it.

[ Crazed laughing ]

I thought up this scheme
all by myself!

[ Gasps ] Hey!

Aah!

Ugh.

Oh, ho, ho,
I don't think so.

[ Grunting ]

Aaaaaaah!

[ Muffled grunting,
screaming ]

Is that a waterfall?

Smile for the camera, Ben!

[ Evil laugh ]

And remember to say --

Team Tennyson!

Ugh!

Hm? Ugh!

[ Grunts ]

No!

[ Groans ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Gasps ] No!

[ Grunting ]

We're okay!
We did it!

[ Sighs ] I'm getting
too old for these rides.

Wait, where's Tim Buktu?

He's hanging around
here somewhere.

[ All cheering ]

[ Chuckles ]
That's a keeper.

So, how's it being
an almost villain?

Have a hankering to
take over the world?

[ Chuckles, sighs ]

You, uh --
you okay, Ben?

It was a close one, Grandpa.
I could've hurt people.

I did hurt you.

I don't want to put people
in danger.

Maybe I should go off and
rethink this whole "hero" thing.

Like Tim?

What do you mean?

He lost his perspective
on things because he's alone.

You don't want to worry
about losing your way,

because you've got something
he doesn't.

Team Tennyson?

Yeah!
Team Tennyson!

Now, let's go ride
the Barf'N T Cups.

Right behind you, Grandpa!
Wait up.

[ Sighs ]

Ben, are you coming?

Try and stop me.
