Oh, Teddy, you're alive.

[groans]

I... I...

Hey there, little feller.

You're gonna be
all right.

Wooly? Leota?

How do you feel, Teddy?

Better, thank you.

I had the strangest dream.

Someone was looking after me
all the time I was sick.

And I thought he was an Illiop.

[Wooly jabbers]
It looks like somebody was here.

Hmm. I wonder if...

If what, Leota?

It's just possible you met
the Hermit of Leekee Lake.

The Hermit?

[jabbers]

-Who's that?
-It's a legend they tell
around these parts.

Reports of a mysterious...
something.

-A something?
-Yes.

♪ Some say he's a monster
with huge glowing eyes ♪

♪ Or a fish or a Fob
or a sneaky M.A.V.O. spy ♪

♪ You hear lots of stories
all over the place ♪

♪ But no one's ever met him
face-to-face ♪

♪ Oh, the legendary
Hermit of Leekee Lake ♪

♪ Is he really real
or is he a fake? ♪

♪ The most mysterious fellow
you never did see ♪

♪ Is he someone ♪

♪ Or nobody? ♪

♪ Is he out in the woods now? ♪

♪ What could he be? ♪

♪ A Gutang or a Grunge
or the shadow of a tree? ♪

♪ And are these his footprints
here by the stream? ♪

♪ Did you really meet him
or was it just a dream? ♪

♪ Oh, the legendary
Hermit of Leekee Lake ♪

♪ Is he really real
or is he a fake? ♪

♪ The most mysterious fellow
you never did see ♪

♪ Is he someone ♪

♪ Or nobody? ♪

This Hermit guy sounds scary.

I hope I never meet him.

[Leota giggles]
Don't worry, Wooly.

It's only a legend.

But don't most legends
usually have a little bit
of truth to them?

Yes, they do, Teddy.

Often we create legends

to explain things
we don't understand.

Well, if he's anything like
the Illiop in my dream,

I'd sure like
to meet him.

Oh, my gosh!

We have to rescue
Gimmick and Grubby

from the hands of M.A.V.O.

Not to mention
the magic crystals.

Teddy: Come on. Let's hurry.

Okay.

I'm ready.

What's all the cotton candy
for, Wooly?

[jabbers] You'll see.

[laughing]

Now remember, Anythings,
we'll pick you up in one hour

along with Gimmick and Grubby.

We know what to do, Princess.

Don't worry. We'll rescue them.

Those little fellows
are astonishingly brave.

Here we are. Hup.

Hup.

Okay, guys.

[doorbell rings]

Okay, g*ng, let's do it.

Ah, milk. Just the thing for
a group of growing villains.

Okay, the coast is clear.

Bognostroclum:
All right you two, move it.

♪ I got the lonesome ♪

♪ Lowdown blues ♪

Must you sing,
you worthless dolt?

♪ The worstest blues
you've ever seen ♪

Enough! Enough!

♪ 'Cause I'm serving time
at M.A.V.O. ♪

Oh, cut it out!

♪ With a wimpy guy who's green ♪

Isn't there some rule
against prisoners singing?

If I were chained to you,
I'd sing the blues, too.

Now follow me!

Why me?

Why is it always me?

♪ He's tall and thin
and really dumb ♪

♪ He looks like
a striped zucchini ♪

♪ So take my advice,
you Bounder guys ♪

♪ And don't get locked up
to a greeny ♪

[laughs]

You wish to see me,
Your Surliness?

Leave us.

Hey, let's go put bugs
in the prisoners' soup.

Why? They like it
better that way.

Okay, guys, let's do it.

Hey, look.

-[scraping]
-Grubby: Huh?

Delivery for
Prisoner Grubby.

Are you prisoner
number 403221,

Octopede, Grubby, The?

Uh, yeah, I think so.

And you must be 403222,
Gimmick, Newton.

Eh, why, am I, yes.

I mean, yes, I am.

How convenient to keep all
the "Gs" in the same cell.

These plants
are from your mothers.

Have a nice day!

There's something fishy
going on here, Gimmick.

Why, yes, I think so, too.

Neither of our mothers knows
we're locked up in here.

Huh?

All: Ta-da!

Gimmick: My word!
It's the Anythings!

-[muffled groan]
-What are you guys doing here?

We're here to rescue you.

Of course.

What do you want us to do?

Just stand there
and let us look at you.

Eh, look at us?

Oh, I thought you
might've had a plan.

Don't worry, Grubby, we do.

-Yeah.
-[all giggles]

We sure do.

Leota:
Okay, we're close enough.

I think now would be a good time
for your disguise, Wooly.

All right, Miss Leota.

Help me with this cotton candy,
will you, Teddy?

-I wish somebody would tell me
what's going on.
-You'll see.

You're not the only one around
here who's good at adventuring.

-This: How's that?
-Gimmick: I'm afraid
that's not quite right.

[giggling]

Just a few bugs
we have to work out.

Just be patient.
We'll get it right.

-[both gasp]
-This: Okay, once more,
and this time, concentrate.

-Wow.
-It's remarkable.

This:
I told you we could do it.

[mimics Gimmick]
Eh, that little problem before

was just a minor, eh,
miscalculation. [chuckles]

[mimics Grubby]
He means we made a mistake.

[laughs]

That's marvelous.

But if you're
impersonating us,

and we escape,

who will rescue you?

This: Don't worry about us.
It's all part of the plan.

Wow. You guys sure have gotten
brave since we first met.

We owe it all to you and Teddy.

Well, let's get you guys
out of here.

Now, don't forget,
meet Arin and Aruzia

at the edge of the plateau
by the back door.

[mimics Gimmick]
Guard, eh, guard.

Now what?

[mimics Grubby]
Uh, excuse me, Mr. Guard.

We were expecting
some plants from our moms.

You already got them.

I just brought them
to you myself.

Do you see any,
eh, plants in here?

I sure don't.
[laughs]

Is this some kind of joke?

See? No plants.

Not one iota of
greenery in here.

-But I could've sworn...
-Oh, those plants were
from our mothers.

This [as Gimmick:]
We want our plants.

[Anythings crying]

Guard: Now, now.
There's no need to cry.

It's just
some silly mistake.

[chuckles] You sure don't look
like the Wooly What's-It I know.

I think your disguise is
quite convincing, Wooly.

This stuff is sticky.

[jabbers] I always knew
you could eat cotton candy,

but this is the first time
I ever heard of wearing it.

[both laugh]

Knock good and loud, Wooly.

Okay. Here goes.

[banging on door]

I'm coming. I'm coming.

What is it?

[jabbers]
Uh, I mean--

Oh, I mean...

[growls]

[lowered] Is this the Monsters
and Villains Organization?

Of course it is.
What do I look like, a Fob?

Well, I'm a monster
and I wanna join.

Rule 97, paragraph 41--

villain applications accepted
only during membership drives.

Do I get to join this club,

or do you want to be
a doorknocker from now on?

Well, in that case,
perhaps you'd care
to fill out these forms.

That's better.

[growling]

-I wonder which way
we should go.
-You've got me.

And one more.

Form 101-slash-B-dash-6.

What's this one for?

M.A.V.O. savings bonds.

Now, if you'll just put me down,

I'll take your application
to the Supreme Oppressor.

[growls]

Be quick about it.

I'll be back in no time.

Grubby, I believe this is
an opportune moment

to extricate ourselves.

If you mean "let's get out
of here," I'm all for it.

I think we need another plan.

Hmm.
Come to think of it.

the Anythings did say
to go to the back door.

If we can find it.

Quellor: Blast it!

We lost both the airship
and the crystals

thanks to the stupidity and
incompetence of my underlings.

Ooh, I do understand.

It's just like I was
saying to my husband,

Spittle, just the other day--

Pardon me,
Your Magnificent
Malevolence.

Yes, Ickly, what is it?

A new applicant for
M.A.V.O. membership.

If he wants to join,
let him.

-Now stop bothering me
with stupid details.
-[Maggotheart thuds]

Yes, Your Supreme Wickedness.

And see that the Eclipse
is made ready to sail.

We depart in search of Gimmick's
airship and the crystals.

At once,
Your Grimy Loathsomeness.

And, Bognostroclum,
knock off the cheap flattery.

That's where
I hid the crystals.

On the big airship.

My, it certainly looks evil.

Someone's coming.

Quick, Leota,
let's hide in here.

Uh-oh. It's the Eclipse.

Heavens to Grundo.

We took a wrong turn somewhere.
Let's get out of here.

[door opens]

Oh, I'm afraid
it's too late for that.

Quick, Gimmick,
over here.

All right, Tweeg, start loading
these sacks onto the Eclipse.

-What?
-L.B.: You heard him, Twank.

He wants you to tote
these bales onto that barge.

-[laughs]
-Bognostroclum: And move it!

Quellor wishes to set sail
immediately.

[straining]

What's in these things, cement?

It sure took long enough.

Now, if you'll just fill out
these additional forms.

But I filled them out
a couple of minutes ago.

Those were
application forms.

These are membership forms.

Okay.

But first I wanna see
the dungeon.

I don't want to join if you
don't have a good dungeon.

[growls]

Right. No problem.
Follow me.

-[harmonica playing]
-You see? Excellent facilities.

A thousand cells. No waiting.

Now, if we could just
fill out these forms.

I wanna look around
a little first.

If you've seen one cell,
you've seen them all.

Now, about these forms.

[growling]

Uh, on the other hand...
[chuckles]

make yourself at home.

I'll come back
in a few minutes.

Yoo-hoo. Fellers.

Put the red dragon
on the black troll.

Here you are!

[Anythings shouting]

Oh, come on, fellers.
Quit fooling around.

We gotta get out of here.

Aruzia: The Anythings
should've been here by now.

I hope nothing's
gone wrong.

[Maggotheart stammering]
Excuse me.

Good day.

I have the sad duty
of informing you

that you're in
a no-parking zone.

Oh, how irritating, I know,

but rules are rules.

For your convenience, we have
airship parking located at...

Airship? This is it!

The airship!

Guards!

-Guards!
-[murmuring]

Quick, Arin, let's go!

[clamoring]

Maggotheart:
The airship! Guards!

Guards!

To the Eclipse!

We sail!

[alarm blaring]

[shouts]

Quellor: Follow that airship.

Grubby, Gimmick,
what are you doing here?

-Teddy?
-Is it really you?

-Sure it's me.
-Grubby: You're alive!

You're actually alive.
[laughs]

[chuckles]
We were afraid we'd lost you.

-I'm not lost. I'm right here.
-[pirates clamoring]

We're gonna lose the airship
if we don't do something
about these pirate guys.

Arin:
Keep cranking, Aruzia.

Fire on my command.

Oh! They're going to
sh**t down my airship!

Along with Prince Arin
and Princess Aruzia.

I'll take care of the arrows.

You do something
to disable this ship.

-Does anyone have any ideas?
-Don't look at me.

The last idea I had was
hiding in these sacks of corn.

-And look where that got us.
-Gimmick: Corn!

[chuckles] Corn, that's it!

You are a genius!

Fire!

This was a great idea, Grubby.

It just "popped" into my head.
[laughs]

Get ready to board!

[muffled shouting]

Friends!

You're safe!

Yes, thanks to you.

And Teddy!

Oh, thank goodness
you're safe, too.

[pirates groaning]

Wooly: Now, where did
Gimmick and Grubby go?

I don't understand it.
They were right here.

Huh? If they were here,
how did they get up there?

Ooh, I'm going home.

It must be time for my nap.

Surrounded by dolts,

nincompoops, and fools!

Defeated by an Illiop.

And worse, my black box is gone.

What a day!

Hmm. Maybe Tweeg
went down with the ship.

That would be nice.

Kick harder, L.B.

I can't do all the work.

Are you sure we're heading
the right way, Tweeze?

Of course I'm sure.

Then how come I don't see
no shoreline?

Oh, a minor detail!

Grubby: Is this what
was so important?

To collect
M.A.V.O.'s garbage?

Not garbage, more like
six brave friends.

All: Ta-da!

[cheering]

Finding you and Gimmick safe
made today very special, Grubby.

I only wish that I'd been able
to get the crystals

before the Eclipse
went down.

Grubby: Don't worry, Teddy.

I've got a feeling
we'll get them back yet.
