Okay, kids!

Everything's ready to go!

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

A phone alert? Huh, what could it be?

The last cupcake, and it's all mine.

Huh?!

[ Chomping ]

That was my half-birthday cupcake!

Your what now? My half birthday!

Exactly six months between my last and next birthday!

It's the most magical day of the year!

Aside from my full birthday.

All the fun things we had planned today --

the float boat, the inner tubing,

the last cupcake! It was all part of my

half-birthday celebration spectacular!

[ Party horn sounds ]

[ Sighs ] Whatever.

I'm gonna go have fun on the boat grandpa rented

not for your fake birthday.

How can you talk to me like that?!

On my half-birthday, no less?

You know what, Ben?

I made the cupcakes. I get the last half, too.

[ Groans ]

[ Chomping ] I can't watch!

Mmm-mmm.

Dee-licious!

Your cupcakes taste like gym socks anyway!

You are banned from my cupcakes for life!

[ Gasps ] Take that back!

Never!

Hate to interrupt that staring contest,

but there's trouble.

Look. Oh, no.

There was a major cave-in

at the Paulson Granite Mining Complex.

Sounds like you expect me to do manual labor

[whispering] on my half-birthday.

Ben! People are trapped.

There's more -- the authorities suspect foul play.

Sounds like super-villain territory!

Trashing super villains?

You have my attention!

Yeah! We're gonna wallop some bad guys!

We?!

If I'm banned from your cupcakes for life,

then you're banned from hero-assisting for life.

[ Gasps ] Take that!

Max: No time to squabble.

Let's go help some miners.

[ Brakes squeal ]

It's hero time.

Yeah! [ Groans ]

You're banned.

You can't ban me! I'm helpful! Needed!

Sorry, can't hear banned people!

[ Grunts ] We'll see.

I bet I can find the entrance of the cave before you.

Hmm...nope. Not there.

[ Groans ] I can't let her --

Found it! Over here!

Hurry, the miners might be -- Banned!

Let it go! There are people in danger!

Maybe Wildvine can take care of these boulders.

Banned people don't get to pick aliens.

I'm gonna go with... Shock Rock!

[ Beeping ]

♪♪

Move aside!

Floats like an alien, shocks like a rock!

Ben, look out!

Huh?

Time to switch sports. Batter up.

It's out of the park!

[ Grunting ]

Next up? More bashing!

Man: [ Coughing ] Air!

An opening! This way!

Oh, no! It's happening again!

What is?!

Up there!

This field needs a dome!

♪♪

I don't know a lot about miners,

but the front door seems like

a weird place to, you know, dump rocks!

You think we did this?!

I don't know. It's your mine, right?!

Hey! Run! Wha--

What's going on?! We were att*cked!

Those monsters took our gear

and started messing with our tunnels!

What kind of bad guys would be dumb enough

to do something like this to a mine?!

What do you mean we're lost,

you bug brain?!

Don't you know how to use a map?!

[ Clicking ]

How dare you?! My plan is perfect!

Let me break it down again

for your feeble little insectoid brain!

First, we re-route all these mine tunnels

so they run directly under the city.

Then, we pack them full of high-powered expl*sives.

And if the city's fat-cats refuse to meet our ransom,

we blow their metropolis sky-high!

So, until you orchestrate a better idea

to make us fat stacks of cash,

I'd keep the chittering to yourself!

[ Clicking ]

Oh, Sydney!

Your stupid novel isn't gonna make us rich!

[ Gasps ]

Fantasy romance is an oversaturated genre!

[ Clicking ]

It's not my fault people don't read anymore!

Gwen: You don't even know what you're looking for!

That sounds like the Tennyson girl!

[ Groans ]

That means the brat with the watch isn't far behind.

Come on, we've got to stop them!

[ Grumbling ] Fine!

But don't come asking me to publish your book

when I have all that delicious money

and you're still down here sulking!

[ Grumbling ]

Look at these kooky tracks!

Why would anyone mess up a mine like this?

It doesn't make sense.

There's that sound again!

Huh! Wonder what could be making it?!

All right, you insufferable twerps.

Time to get you off my back once and for --

[ Chittering ] Sydney?!

What are you -- [ Yelps ]

You useless lunk!

Pay attention to where you're throwing those boulders!

I should've known.

Something smelled like bug breath!

[ Chittering ]

I'm ready to take out two bugs with one stone!

What are you waiting for?!

Catch him before he changes again!

Ben!

[ Alarming blaring ]

[ Chittering ]

[ Both grunt ] I told you to get him!

Why did you wait?! [ Clicking ]

Hurry! While they're distracted!

[ Groans ] I banned you from my heroing!

I just stopped you from getting smashed

by a giant roach man.

You could at least be appreciative!

Max: All aboard! Aah!

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!Whoa!

Those tracks lead right to our main chamber!

We have to stop them before they get

their grubby hero hands on our fuses!

Safety first! Faster!

You'll never catch up on those nubby little legs!

Apparently, I have to do everything myself!

[ Chittering ]

[ All shouting ]

Who knew you were as bad at running

as you are at writing believable dialogue!

[ Clicking ]

What did you just say to me?!

Why do you have to be so annoying! Just listen to me!

A runaway mine cart is no place for bickering.

We need to focus if we want to stay safe.

Speed this thing up!

They're getting away!

[ Wheels squeaking ]

Whoa! Whoa!Whoa!

♪♪

Stop wasting time!

[ Grunts ] Hey!

Hi-yah!

We got to tilt the car this way to dodge!

No, that way!

Grandpa says this way! Whoa!

♪♪

[ Screaming ]

♪♪

Heads right! Keep your feet on your side!

Lean left!

You're the one kicking! Stop it, Ben!

I don't know where these tracks go,

but whatever they're trying to keep us away from

is probably at the end of them.

Any time you guys want to start cooperating here...

[Grunts] ...Grandpa won't object.

What this fight needs is extra arms! [ Beeping ]

Ben, no!

There's not enough room in here for someone --

big. [ Grunts ]

Maybe you can actually hit him at this size.

Oh, what?!

Giving me the cold shoulder now?!

You don't need to throw utensils!

♪♪

I told you not to go big!

Still banned! Two for one!

Aw, but they're broken.

Guess I need to return them!

[ Both yell ]

We're going with my plan this time!

That was too easy! Stop gloating! Look!

The path on the right looks clear.

We have to lean right! I say left!

[ Grunting ] [ Chuckles ]

Whoa! Ben!

♪♪

Ahhh! Oops! My bad!

Alley oop!

Uh-oh.

Hmm. [ Yelling ]

Too narrow! Ow!

See?! No assistance needed.

Oof!

Oh! [ Groans ]

Okay, maybe I should reconsider this whole no-teammate thing.

Maybe...? Great! So here's what --

Maurice: If you want something done,

you got to do it yourself!

And what I want is to blow you brats to the moon!

[ Laughs ] [ Beeping ]

[ All scream ]

You've got a rocket punch in this form.

Use it!

Good idea!

Whoa! Whoa!Whoa!

They're getting away! [ Clicking ]

What do you mean I blew up our tracks, too?!

[ Screams ]

Look! There's a light up ahead!

Whoa! Whoa!Whoa!

Max: This must be

what they wanted to keep us away from.

Whatever it's holding up must be awfully big.

Uh, I'm gonna take a wild guess

that all this dynamite

is also hooked up to Maurice's detonator.

We can deal with that

after we figure out what to do about this!

[ Grunts ]

[ Screeching ]

With an inch to spare!

Good job, cuz. [ Grunts ]

Okay, kids, look for whatever you think can help us

get our hands on that remote.

I'm sure we can find something down here to stop them

before they get back on track.

[ Whirring ]

What do you think these controls are for?

What aren't they for?

Maurice: Ow, get off me!

Get your elbows out of my thorax, you overgrown --

[ Both grunting ]

That is it!

You kids want to play around with excavation?!

Let's see how you enjoy

a city collapsed on top of you!

[ Chittering ]

Quit interrupting me! Can't you see

I'm about to blast the key spire and bury them?!

[ Chittering ]

Uh, well, here goes nothing!

[ Alarm blaring ]

Huh? Really, Sydney?

Falling for that trick again?

Take it from, Bugg brothers,

it's easier to work with than fight against!

[ Grunts ]

Booyah!

Spoken like a simpering child!

[ Grunts ]

Aaah! [ Grunts ]

[ Jibbering ]

Go, teamwork! Now, let me see here.

Uh, breaker breaker topside?!

This is silver fox down under, over?

We worked the bugs out of your mine.

You might want to get down here with some security. Over.

Never gonna get tired of smashing that guy's remotes.

We really pulled that off.

See how much better we work when we put our heads together?

[ Laughs ]

I'm really proud of you two.

You put aside your differences

and both put in your half of the effort.

And all on my half-birthday.

Really makes you think.

Gwen: It does, Ben.

So I guess I should admit

I did get you something for your half-birthday.

Yes! [ Laughs ]

Uh, what is this supposed to be?!

The other half of the last cupcake!

Pretty generous, huh?

What am I supposed to do with half a cupcake?

Half of something isn't a thing! Exactly!

Well-played, cousin. Well-played.

Well, if neither of you wants it...

Wha?!Wha?! Mmm.

Maurice: You know -- [ Clicking ]

This isn't half bad!

[ Clicking ]

For someone who's never heard of three-act structure!

[ Chittering ] [ Yelps ]

Quit shaking my t*nk, you hack!

Hey! Keep it down in there!
