[Hadji]
'Welcome to Melos, Dr. Quest.'

How is the temple dig
coming, Hadji?

You're just in time. We have
come up on an amazing discovery.

[all chanting]
Apollo.

We wanted you to
be the first to see him.

[men groaning]

The Greek God, Apollo.

I have never seen
a statue of that age

'in such perfect condition.'

I knew you would
be happy, Dr. Quest.

This is quite possibly the most
noteworthy find of my lifetime.

It's outstanding.

[rumbling]

[Dr. Quest]
'Be careful!'

[both gasping]

Get that dolly in place.

snap

thud

Look out!
Help me.

We cannot let the statue fall.

[clatters]

[speaking in foreign language]

[Hadji]
It is too heavy.
It will crush us both.

[both grunting]

crack

Look out, Dr. Quest.

crash

Oh, this is not good.

Ah.

Apollo, Greek God of poetry,
medicine and prophecy.

A hero in the truest sense.

You think we should tell her
my dad saw Apollo lose his head?

[both giggling]

Do you have something
you'd like to share

with the class, Mr. Quest?

[gulps]
Ah..

[bell ringing]

[students cheering]

Whoa, h*!
Slow down.

You're not going on spring
break without an assignment.

[students groaning]

An essay on heroes.


[students grumbling]

[beeping]

Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

This is your captain speaking.

We're about to land at
the beautiful island of Melos.

[Rick]
'Kindly take your seats and k*ll
all electronic devices.'

'Please fasten your seatbelts.'

'Thank you for flying
Quest Airlines.'

[seagulls cawing]

splash

[Dr. Quest]
'If it hadn't been for Hadji'

'my skull would be
in pieces too.'

I doubt it, pop.
You got a pretty hard head.

[chuckles]
Hmm.

Well, the question now is
how to put Apollo back together?

[Dr. Quest]
'Some of the pieces are tiny.'

'It'll be a painstaking job.'

Not if we number the fragments
and scan them into Quest World.

So, the computer can reassemble
them in virtual reality.

Excellent idea, son.

[Jonny]
'Once the head is constructed
by the Quest World computer.'

'It'll be a snap to put
the real head together.'

[Hadji]
'Yes, but lets keep in mind
that this process'

'will take a long time, Jonny.'

'Not to mention, use up a good
deal of the system's memory.'

[Jessie]
'Do you think
the ancient Greek Oracles'

really could
foretell the future?

Every great fiction held
strongly in human belief

is the mistaken image
of some great truth.

What the heck does that mean?

To be completely honest,
I'm not entirely certain.

But you must admit,
it does sound profound.

Lorenzo. Lorenzo,
take a look at this.

- 'What's going on?'
- I have no idea.

[Dr. Surd]
Apollo, the prophet.
It's magnificent.

Have you determined
which statue

'those pieces were
scanned from?'

We've checked
every angle, Dr. Surd.

It's as if that bozo--

That bozo could be
the greatest archeological

find of the century.

[Dr. Surd]
'And when the fragments
are all in place'

'it could mean
great power in Quest World.'

'Well, finders keepers.'

Let's see how Apollo's
head is shaping up.

What? Apollo file not found?
That's not possible.

You backed it up with
the Quest Network, didn't you?

Yeah, sure I did.
Search backup for Apollo file.

[Iris]
'Searching.'

'Apollo file not found.'

Okay. Someone's hacked
our system and stolen the file.

[Hadji]
'I am not sure
it has been stolen'

'it looks more
like a memory problem.'

There's one way to find out.
Come on, Race.

[Hadji]
Quest World, log on.

Subjects, Jonny Quest
and Race Bannon.

Going hot.

[Iris]
'Three, two, one, zero.'

[whooshing]

This place is emptier than
a turkey farm on Thanksgiving.

[Jonny]
And no sign of Apollo.

What we need here
is a file finder of some kind.

I'm one footfall in front
of you, my friend.

[Hadji]
'1-V-F-F.
A virtual file finder.'

'Simply tell it
where you want it to go'

'and it will do the rest.'

Programming VFF,
search Apollo Rebuild file.

[Jonny]
'Find.'

[whooshing]

bam bam bam

It's unfathomable.

But Race and Jonny have
disappeared entirely.

How can that be?

whoosh

[rumbling]

[buzzing]

[both scream]

Whoa!
Look at this place.

[Race]
'Someone's idea
of ancient Greece, huh?'

And I bet that's supposed
to be the Temple of Zeus.

- And Zeus was Apollo's father.
- So, maybe Apollo got homesick.

[sighs]

Pop, Hadji,
are you guys there?

Hello, up there?
Benton, do you see this?

[Jonny]
'Oh, great.
Now, we've lost them.'

[Race]
Kinda strange, isn't it?

[Jonny]
Yeah.

Looks like somebody finished
this place in a hurry.

[Race]
Well, what do we have here?

[Jonny]
'Apollo. And look
how much bigger he is.'

Well, now that we found him

we gotta get
him down from there.

[sighs]
Yeah, but he's not much good
unless we can find a way home.

[gasps]

Race, that's Medusa.
Turn away! Turn away!

Don't look at her in the face.
Turn away, Race!

'Don't look at her eyes.
Don't look at her eyes!'

'You'll turn
into stone! No!'

thud

No. No!

[growling]

[dramatic music]

[growling]

Look into my eyes, boy!

[growling continues]

[Jonny grunting]

I offer you eternal life,
locked in stone.

Thanks, but I'll pass.

[music continues]

[panting]

[intense music]

[music continues]

[panting]

Oh!

[growling]

I don't have time for this.

[growling continues]

Oh, talk about a bad hair day.

[panting]

Oh, no!

[hissing]

[growling]

[Medusa]
'Take care of him.
I have work to do.'

[panting]

[hissing]

[Jonny]
'Ah.'

Still no sign of them,
Dr. Quest.

I got an idea!

Log me into Quest World. Now!

Subject, Jessie Bannon.

[Iris]
'Seven, six, five, four'

'three two, one.'

[whooshing]

[sizzling]

I don't get it. There's
no sign of them, anywhere.

Wait a minute.
Something's strange.

It looks like
there's a hole here.

[Dr. Quest]
'Careful, Jessie.'

[Jessie screaming]

[Dr. Quest]
'Jessie! Jessie!'

[screaming continues]

Two down, Julia.
One to go.

How is the young Quest faring?

I'm working on it.

click

[intense music]

Of course.

Ah, come here.
Anybody hungry?

'Come on, little fella.
Take a bite. Don't be shy.'

'Come on. Come on.'

Ow!

[grunts]

Alright. Ah, who wants dessert?

whish

Ah!

Take a bite of this.
Let's rock!

Jessie?

[Dr. Surd]
'Oh, don't bother speaking
to your friends.'

'They're stone-deaf.
Ha ha ha.'

A preview of your future.

Surd!

You'll look wonderful, just
to the right of Race Bannon.

Don't you think?

And here's a lovely place
for your father and Hadji.

And...oh, I forgot
your little dog.

What have you done?

A-a-ah!

Oh, oh.

- Ow, ah.
- 'Ha ha ha.'

Your father has no idea
what he's uncovered in Greece.

But I do.

And I've programmed
Quest World accordingly.

[grunting]

[Dr. Surd]
'That wonderful, heroic statue
has an innate power'

'which was emancipated
when it's head was smashed.'

'Some of that power has made
its way here into Quest World.'

[Jonny grunting]

And when this
VR counterpart is complete

an energy release will cause
the temple to descend forever

into the netherworld

with the entire Quest clan
along for the ride.

Locked in stone,
trapped forever!

Look me in the eyes!

It's time!

[Dr. Surd]
'One more piece
and I'll be rid of you.'

[rumbling]

'It's over, Jonny Quest.'

Wrong, Surd.

[groaning]

[rattling]

[instrumental music]

Huh?

Huh?

[Jonny]
'Jessie! Race!'

[rumbling continues]

[Jessie]
'Dad!'

I'm alright, Jess.
Let's move.

[expl*si*n]

[Jessie]
'Wait a minute.'

This is what
we came here for, isn't it?

[Race]
'Come on, guys,
time to kick it.'

[Jessie]
'Let's get outta here.'

Look, they have returned.

[Hadji]
'It is certainly good
to have you back.'

[Dr. Quest]
'Where were you? How did you
find your way back?'

We owe it all to Jonny.
Kid's a real hero.

Whoa, no more heroes.

No more snakes.
No more statues.

What I could really use
is a heavy dose of reality.

[Dr. Quest]
You got it, son.
We're bringing you home.

[instrumental music]

[Jonny]
'Now comes the tough part.'

Sticking Apollo back together
in real life.

[male #1]
'We owe you a great debt
of gratitude, Dr. Quest.'

Some of ancient Greece's
finest treasures

reside in museums
of other countries.

To have this superb example
of Apollo on display

in this museum
is a pleasure and a privilege.

[female #1]
'Well, Jonny, it's your turn.'

'Where's your essay on heroes?'

Well, we were kinda too busy

to actually write
an essay on heroes, but..

We've got
a great story to tell.

[Iris the computer]
'Welcome to the
Quest World archives.'

'Downloading archival footage.'

'Phase 1.'

'Doctor Quest developed
a computer system'

'to partially vectorize
the human body.'

'Which he termed,
Hyperrealism.'

'Phase 2.'

'Wirematic Stasis.'

[buzzing]

'Phase 3.'

'Block Mannequin Maturation.'

'Phase 4.'

'Cerebral Chrysalis.'

'Phase 5.'

'Mellifluous Resonance.'

'And finally, Phase 6.'

'The fully developed body
of current day Quest Word.'

[instrumental music]

'Thank you for accessing
Quest World archives.'
