01x11 - The Roon Games

Post by bunniefuu »

Steppin' softly in a danger zone

No w*apon in my hand

[R-D beeping]

It's just this brain designed by man

It's got me in trouble again

Trouble again

I put my life in jeopardy

In the service of my friends

I wouldn't care
But it's a dangerous affair

'Cause I'm in trouble again

[R-D whistles]

Trouble again

In trouble, in trouble, in trouble

[R-D beeping]

Master Mungo, R says those are
Governor Koong's drone fighters after us.

Hang on. I'll try and lose them.

We're fortunate his men
are such poor marksmen.

[beeps]

-[Mungo] Whoa!
-[C-PO] Oh!

Oh, dear! I spoke too soon.

Why did we ever leave our home on Manda?

We're going down.

R, quick. Try and stabilize.

[grunting]

If only I could get out of this harness,
I would--

[beeping]

What you mean I would bail out?

How could you suggest such a thing?

Just because I happen to be
wearing a parachute, doesn't mean--

Hang on. I'm gonna try and belly her in.

[woman] Father!

See if they're okay, Auren. I'll catch up.

[droid] Time to make my report.

Our mission has been completed.

Good. Bun-Dingo, take the controls.

I'll inform the governor.

You promised my Emperor Roonstones,
not Roon Games, Koong.

[Koong] But as an agent
for the Emperor, Admiral Screed,

you should know that I have
much more to offer the Empire.

What else could the Emperor want
from a desolate planet like Roon?

Games, my Lord.

What?

We have to defeat them at the games
so we can conquer Umboo.

And, by doing this, get the Roonstones.

Mungo Baobab has been destroyed.

[Koong] Destroyed? [chokes, coughs]

[clears throat] Excellent.

Soon his fate shall be shared by

those meddlesome revolutionaries
that challenge my rule.

[Screed] Your rule?

Koong, you are only governor of Tawntoom,
a mere province.

I run this entire planet.

Except for Umboo.

After the games,
Umboo will no longer stand in my way.

[chewing loudly, grunts]

For I intend to do more than
merely defeat their champions.

I intend to crush them,
just as I have Mungo Baobab.

You have done nothing
that I could not have done myself.

But you have saved me a little time.

Now it's time to see how you control Umboo
at the Roon Games.

Gaff, set course for the games.

Where are we? What's happened?

Somebody, help!

[beeping]

[C-PO] Master Mungo… [shouts]
…we're still falling! Oh!

[C-PO grunts]

Oh, dear.

Are you all right, PO?

[R-D beeps]

Fortunately, sir,
the worst seems to be over.

-[creature roars]
-[C-PO shouts]

[C-PO grunting]

[R-D beeps]

[C-PO] Unhand me at once,
you big bully. [grunts]

[R-D beeps]

[R-D beeping]

-[C-PO] Help! Master Mungo!
-[creature grumbling]

[R-D beeps]

[C-PO] Do something!

[Mungo] What are these creatures?

[growling]

Help!

Hang on, PO!

-[Mungo shouting]
-[C-PO grunts]

[Mungo grunting]

-[grumbling]
-[Mungo] Oh, no. More of them?

[Auren] Yahoo-hoo-hoo!

-Yahoo!
-[roaring]

Miss, over here.

That's all right. I can manage.

-[grumbling]
-[R-D beeps]

[whirring]

-[beeps]
-Do you have a water pump?

[R-D beeping]

[C-PO exclaiming]

[Mungo grunting]

-Ready?
-[R-D beeps]

[C-PO shouting]

[Mungo grunts]

[grumbling continues]

-Nice going.
-[R-D beeps]

Those mudmen just love shiny metal objects
like you and your friend.

They're really pretty harmless.

[Mungo] Harmless?

Look what they've done to my ship.

[laughs]

Maybe I should've saved the ship
and left you to the mudmen.

I'm sorry. Thank you for helping us.

I'm Mungo Baobab
of the Baobab Merchant Fleet.

-These are my droids, R…
-[R-D beeps]

…and PO.

I am pleased to meet you, Mistress, uh...

Auren. Auren Yomm.

My father and I were on our way to
the Roon Games when we saw you crash.

Mungo, this is my father, Nilz Yomm.

I take it you had some trouble
with Governor Koong's men.

We were prospecting for Roonstones when
his drone ships spotted us and gave chase.

Governor Koong wants to control
everything on this planet.

But he will never control the free spirit
of our home province, Umboo.

Someday we'll find a way to defeat him.

Why don't you ride with us to the games?

You might find someone there
to help you repair the ship.

Baobab's with Auren Yomm?

He survived?

We should inform Governor Koong.

No. He will lose favor with Screed.

I will deal with Baobab myself.

But what about Auren Yomm?

She's Koong's main competition
at the games.

She was his only competition.

[Bun-Dingo] Gaff, cleared for takeoff.

[Gaff] Those fools
are standing on a shamunaar.

I think it's time to wake up
the ancient beast.

What was that?

Oh!

-[C-PO] Oh, my.
-[R-D beeps]

What's going on?

It must be a Roon quake.

[both exclaim]

Worse than that. Shamunaar.

What's a shamunaar?

A gigantic beast.

Normally, they hibernate for decades.

This will settle the score with Baobab

and remove Auren Yomm
from the competition.

Koong will be pleased. [cackling]

[Nilz] Look out!

[C-PO] We're doomed!

-[R-D beeps]
-[growls]

[roaring]

[all shouting]

-[Mungo] Look out!
-[C-PO] Oh, my!

-[Nilz] Run for it!
-[all shouting]

[Auren] Whoa!

-[roars]
-[Auren, Nilz shout]

-Where are the others?
-Over there!

[roaring]

-[R-D beeps]
-[C-PO exclaims, grunts]

R, this way! [exclaims]
No-- No! Th-That way!

[shouting] Left, left, right!

Go straight!

[Mungo] PO, R, hurry!

[Mungo grunts]

[shamunaar growls]

[Auren exclaims]

The shamunaar will crush everything.

There's nothing we can do
against such a beast!

If there's a will, there's a way.

Auren, be careful.

Yahooey!

This is the end, R. We'll soon be
squashed flatter than a solar wafer.

And our poor master!

[R-D beeps]

[shamunaar roaring]

[Auren shouts, grunts]

Auren!

PO, we have to draw the beast
away from Auren!

Ayahaa!

-[C-PO taunting]
-[R-D beeping]

[Auren grunts]

[roaring]

-[R-D beeping]
-Pick on someone your own...

-[roars]
-[R-D beeping]

…size.

[beeping]

-That's enough, R.
-[beeping continues]

-R…
-[beeping stops]

-…I think he's seen us.
-[growls]

R, PO, get out of there!

-[R-D screeching]
-[C-PO] Oh! Help!

[roaring]

[C-PO] Oh. Oh. Oh.

-[R-D beeps]
-[Nilz] Get in!

[C-PO] Oh!

[R-D whistles, beeps]

[R-D beeping]

[roars]

Looks like you've tired out the shamunaar.

[C-PO] And not a moment too soon,
if I may say.

Thank goodness you're safe, Master Mungo.

We're all safe thanks to Auren and Nilz.

You were great, Mungo.

The Umboo team could use a rider like you
against Koong's team at the games.

Koong's team?

Hmm.

[chuckles] R, PO,
we're headed for the Roon Games and glory!

Ayaa! [laughs]

[C-PO] Come along, R.

[beeps, whistles]

[C-PO] To the Roon Games and glory? Oh!

I've had all the glory I can handle
for the next millennium.

[crowd cheering]

[announcer on PA] It's been
an exciting day here at the Roon Games!

And now the field is being set up...

as the crowd anxiously awaits the final
and most crucial event:

[chattering]

...the Drainsweeper Race!

The Emperor would enjoy these games…

-[Koong chewing noisily]
-…provided that he always won.

As my team has demonstrated to you today,
Admiral Screed,

your Emperor is a man after my own heart.

[Screed] Perhaps, Koong.

But your team has yet to compete with the
Umboo Rebel champions in the final event.

[announcer] Everyone
is waiting for Auren Yomm

and her Umboo racing team.

If they fail to appear soon,

Governor Koong's team wins by default.

[Koong] And that will show all of Umboo
that no one dares to challenge Koong.

[announcer] And there they are.

What?

Baobab!

[choking]

[coughing]

[announcer]
Auren Yomm and her Umboo riders!

Gee Long and the droid BIX have won
the Drainsweeper event

for three consecutive years.

They are the only team
who have managed to hold out

against Governor Koong
and the ruthless Tawntoom team.

My Emperor dislikes allies who lose.

Gaff, I can't afford any more mistakes.

I want that team eliminated.

Once and for all!

I have already set a plan in motion
against the Umboo team.

Baobab is mine.

[crowd cheering]

[R-D beeps]

[Mungo] Listen to them, PO.

The crowd loved them.

Nilz Yomm has asked if you would be
joining him and Mistress Auren

for some refreshments.

I think we should use the time to track
down a repair crew for the cloud car.

[C-PO] A good idea, sir.

Come along, R.

And stop playing with
that repulsive mud creature.

[beeping]

-[R-D beeps]
-[Bun-Dingo] Mine.

[beeping]

[laughing]

[beeping]

[mudman babbling]

[beeping continues]

[R-D whines]

-Leave me.
-[R-D beeps]

I have work to do.

[beeping, whistling]

[Bun-Dingo laughing]

[R-D beeps]

[beeps]

[R-D beeping]

This will take the Umboo team
out of the race.

[chattering]

[groaning]

[grunting]

[Bun-Dingo laughing]

[groaning continues]

[chattering]

Any luck, PO?

No, sir, but I brought you
some Mupple juice.

Uh, thanks.

-[R-D beeps]
-R.

-What's the matter?
-[R-D beeping]

[C-PO] Slow down, R.

What do you mean?

We're not in any danger.

[beeping]

[C-PO] Calm down, R.
I can't understand a word you're--

Oh! Master Mungo!

-[tent tearing]
-[Mungo groans]

Ow! [groans]

-[C-PO] Master Mungo!
-[R-D beeps softly]

It's only a scratch,
but it may be poisoned.

[groans]

What happened?

Looks like you had a little run in
with Koong's man, Gaff, my friend.

[Mungo] BIX?

Gee Long?

What's going on?

[beeps]

[C-PO] Droid coolant
in the Mupple juice supply.

[Nilz] It's only a stomach ache,
but he's out of the competition.

So is our droid, BIX. He can't be
recharged until after the race.

[announcer] And now, the moment
we've all been waiting for:

the Drainsweeper Race!

What are we going to do?

Perhaps you could recruit another droid?

Me? Oh, n-no. I'd, uh, rather not.

I'm not much of an athlete, you know.
J-Just ask R.

[beeping]

[announcer] Umboo can still win the games
if they can defeat Tawntoom in this event.

With the Umboo team out of the race,
this should be easy.

[gasps]

It's a three lap relay, PO.

If you can stay in the race,
Auren and I will do the rest.

I'll try, sir.

I just hope Bun-Dingo
hasn't any surprises for me.

[beeping]

[Koong] The defeat of Auren Yomm will mark
an end to Umboo's confidence.

And then they will be under my control.

We shall see.

[crowd cheering]

[mudman chirping]

[chirping continues]

[beeps]

[mudman chirping]

[R-D beeps]

[R-D beeps]

-[crowd cheering]
-[C-PO] Oh, dear.

[C-PO] Oh! [screams]

[announcer] And… the race is underway!

Oh, dear me. I should never
have left the assembly line. Aaah!

So far it's Tawntoom in the lead.

Galaxeed in second place.

And-- Wait a second!

Tawntoom seems to be slowing down.

Galaxeed is pulling up fast.
Galaxeed is challenging Tawntoom!

Aha! A clever move by Tawntoom!

Galaxeed is out of the competition!

Oh, my goodness!

Hey! Did you see that?

Don't worry. It's all part of the game.

An official below the funnel adjusts
the gravity to ensure a soft landing.

Whoa! He's a heavy one!

[groans]

When you wake up, it will all be over.

Especially for Auren Yomm.

[cackling]

[crowd cheering]

Aaah!

Oh, my! Oh!

I did it?

I did it.

A valiant effort by the Umboo rider,
but he's still in last place.

Lap one to Tawntoom!

Their second rider has quite a lead.

Oh, no!

[C-PO gasps]

[Mungo] Ayaa!

PO, you were terrific.

Thank you, Mistress Auren.

[beeps]

Thank you, R.

I suppose I was
sitting tall in the saddle.

[coils popping]

[Mungo grunting]

[grumbling]

[whirring]

Whoa!

[grunts]

Whoa!

[announcer] And now the race
is down to two teams.

Tawntoom and Umboo!

Forget them.
Do you have enough turbo coolant?

[laughs] A full t*nk!

Good. You'll need it.

Just push Auren Yomm into the funnel.

[laughs]

The grav controller will make her drop
like a meteor.

[Auren] Yahoo-hoo-hoo!

[Mungo] Go get 'em, Auren. Get 'em!

[Auren] I'm breathing down your neck,
Bun-Dingo.

[Bun-Dingo shouting]

Whoa!

[exclaiming]

[announcer] Something's happening
to the Tawntoom droid!

This could be just the break Umboo needs!

[body thuds]

[coil pops]

Oh, franzy panny!
The Tawntoom rider's fallen!

No.

No!

[Auren] Oh!

[R-D beeps]

[laughing]

-[Gaff grunting]
-[R-D beeping]

[grunts]

[exclaims]

[grumbles]

[chirp]

[shouts]

[Gaff stammers] What are you doing?
[screams]

Put me down!

-Do you hear me? Stop this!
-[R-D beeps, whistles]

-[announcer] And the race goes to Umboo!
-[cheering]

-Tawntoom is defeated!
-[R-D beeping]

Umboo is champion once more!

[Screed] You will be given
no more chances.

I want the Roonstones
you promised the Empire.

Deliver them to me, Koong.

[groans, sighs]

[crowd cheering]

Sounds like you've made
a lot of friends here.

You'll have no problem
finding a repair crew now.

Then... [sighs] ...you and the droids
will be going home.

Only if we don't find any Roonstones.

I'll help you, Mungo.

R, this is for you.

-You deserve it more than I do.
-[R-D beeping]

[C-PO] You're most welcome, R.

But next time, you do the riding.

[beeps, whistles]

[cheering continues]
