01x09 - Birdman Meets Reducto / Computron Lives / Vulturo, Prince of Darkness

[bunniefuu]

Birdman!

It's finished.

With this reduction machine

I will soon have this country,

perhaps the entire
world at my mercy.

And now I must try it out.

Ah, my first victim.

I must look more closely.

Perfect!

It works perfectly.

My next stop is the nation's capital.

Gentlemen.

This threatening note
states that the Pentagon

shall be reduced to the size of a
matchbox at two o'clock today.

Captain.

Have the entire Pentagon evacuated
and surrounded with armed guards.

Yes, sir.

What's going on?

Look at all the soldiers.

They've evacuated the building.

These fools!

It's two o'clock.

And they think they can
stop me with their toys.

Now for my demonstration.

It came from over there.

Search the area.

Back, everyone.

You saw what I did to the Pentagon.

If I turn this weapon on you

you'll become the size of ants.

I shall now return the
Pentagon to its original size.

Now, General, what do you think?

What is it you want?

My desire is for power.

But before I take
control of the country

I want Birdman out of the way.

You will send him to me.

So that's the entire
story so far, Birdman.

Reducto threatens the entire
populace and demands to see you.

A weapon like that in his hands
could endanger the entire free world.

I have no choice but to go to him.

Be careful.

And good luck, Birdman.

Come, Avenger.

Birdman!

There's Reducto's headquarters
below, Avenger.

I'll go down alone.

You stay within signal distance.

I may as well let him know I'm here.

I have been waiting for you, Birdman.

Don't make any sudden moves.

A weapon like that in your hands
jeopardizes world peace.

I warned you.

I'm hit!

You've damaged the Reductron machine.

But not before its process
began working on you, Birdman.

I must repair my machine.

Now that I have reduced you
I'll leave you to the insects.

I still have my power.

But it is weakened considerably.

What's this?

These insects are looking for a meal.

And I'm not going to let it be me.

My powers are weakening.

Must get sunlight.

I can feel my power failing.

Must contact Avenger.

Birdman to Avenger.

Birdman to Avenger.

Help!

Quickly!

A spider!

Not much power left.

That's the last power I have.

Hurry, Avenger!

Avenger.

Here.

Get the magnifying glass on the table.

Now bring it over here.

Now focus.

Thanks, Avenger.

My strength is back.

Let's stop him before he gets
that machine working again.

So, Birdman's Eagle.

I have my Reductron g*n working again.

You shall be my next victim.

Birdman! You escaped the insects.

This time, I shall reduce
you even smaller.

Blast that eagle.

But I shall get you yet.

If I can just...

There!

The g*n is reversed.

And now to snap the trigger.

Now we're on the same level, Reducto.

I'll make sure you never
use that machine again.

Get back, Reducto.

My solar blast will
destroy the machine.

And I don't want to hurt you.

But first, I'll give you
another blast of my g*n.

We've destroyed his machine.

But we're too late to save Reducto.

I don't see him anywhere, Avenger.

Do you?

For Reducto's sake, let's hope
the effect of his g*n wears off.

Our job is over.

Let's go back and make
our report to Falcon 7.

Birdman!

Behold, the robot Computron,
who once ruled this planet.

With this power pack we have
stolen from the archives,

we will reactivate Computron and thus
gain control over the planet Orbus 4.

Computron lives again.

I will avenge myself on those who
have deactivated Computron.

The Galaxy Trio.

We have given you new life.

You will obey us.

No one controls Computron.

Attention, Intergalactic Police.

Robot Computron has
escaped planet Orbus 4.

Use extreme caution.

Very dangerous.

Repeat.

Computron in stolen rocket thought to
be heading for abandoned planet Z-10.

Thus I, Computron,

have reactivated the
machines on planet Z-10.

To enable me to regain the
powers I once possessed.

But first to avenge myself
on the Galaxy Trio.

Just as I had planned.

They have followed my course to Z-10.

Now I will take control of Condor One.

I can't understand it.

Condor One is completely
out of control.

It's like a magnet pulling us down.

Hang on, g*ng.

Well, we got down safely,
but look over there.

Those machines are moving
with no one at the controls.

I'm not about to be put out of business
by a haunted steam shovel.

Sorry, but I'm tired of this dance.

Uh-oh, I'm about to be paved.

Better put out that fire
with a little CO2 vapor.

Heads up.

Two bulldozers coming
in at 6 and 12 o'clock.

We better see what's behind
all these living machines.

Good idea. Spread out.

I have a feeling Computron is nearby.

Can't pull myself away from
this tremendous suction.

You won't have time to use
your power on me, Vapor Man.

For behold, you are about to
be transformed into a robot.

Answerable only to me.

I answer and obey only Computron.

It is as I have planned.

Your partners will soon discover us.

Attack and destroy.

So, Computron, we meet again.

Time to remove your control center

and put you back on
your pedestal in the park.

Vapor Man, what's happened to you?

Quickly, Vapor Man, destroy them.

Whatever he's done,
I've got to reverse it.

What happened to me?

Computron had turned you into a robot

and you were about to destroy us.

No, you cannot stop my plans.

The ray.

Computron is no longer a robot.

He's like a real being.

I don't know what's happened to you,

but we're glad it did.

Let's get out of here.

I want to go back to my planet

and make up for any
harm that I've done.

No sooner said than done.

Next stop, Planet Orbus 4.

Birdman!

State your business.

The time of Vulturo, Prince
of Darkness, is valuable.

As the head of the dread
organization, FEAR,

I have come to offer you
one million dollars

to perform a task that only
someone like you can handle.

And that is?

The elimination of him, Birdman.

As these secret motion pictures reveal

we have been foiled too
many times by Birdman.

We have heard of your powers, Vulturo.

But I am not ready to
pay one million dollars

without seeing a sample of them.

So be it.

For every power and
defense that Birdman has

I have devised a more powerful one.

Follow me.

Birdman flies with some
strange natural wings.

I have devised these
wings with jet power.

Very good.

But what is to protect you against
Birdman's solar energy bolts?

I have devised a defense shield
even stronger than Birdman's.

When his solar bolt hits this shield

It will bounce back and destroy him.

Look.

And what weapon will you use
if he fails to destroy himself?

My backpack has a
cobalt ray activator unit

which is as strong as the
solar energy bolt of Birdman.

Observe.

As you know, Birdman has
a golden eagle, Avenger,

which has helped save him from
destruction more than once.

Allow me to introduce
my own assistant, Dirth.

He looks fierce enough.

Can he handle Avenger?

Take your g*n and sh**t at him.

A strange request.

But very well.

Incredible!

A mechanical vulture with
the same kind of ray you use.

Precisely.

We are convinced you're
the man for the job.

The million dollars in this bag
is yours when it is completed.

Birdman, we are happy that
you could take the time

to come and speak to the Astronomers
of America Organization

on this special evening.

It was my pleasure, gentlemen.

I am just as anxious as you are to
witness the passing of Comet 90.

Which will take place in just one hour.

I am sorry, sir.
I do not know you.

I am Professor Erwin McNaught.

And I am Dr. Vault.

A visitor from another land.

It is always a pleasure
to welcome guests.

Have you met Birdman?

No.

But I have heard much of your Birdman.

Is it true that your powers
diminish at night?

It is true that I get my
powers from the sun.

But they are not easily diminished

unless I have great need for them.

Perhaps you will have that need soon.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

You will have more need for your
powers than you imagine, Birdman.

Tonight you meet Vulturo,
Prince of Darkness.

And so, gentlemen,

it is with great pleasure
that I join you this evening

to witness Comet 90,

which will pass very close to our
Earth in a matter of minutes.

In a matter of minutes

this whole place will blow
up with everyone in it

unless Birdman meets alone with
Vulturo, Prince of Darkness,

in the valley below this observatory.

It may be a hoax, but we
can't take any chances.

Come, Avenger.

Birdman!

I don't know why you've challenged me,
but I must meet the challenge.

You have met your end.

Away, Avenger.

His powers are great.

I must retaliate.

I feel my strength diminishing.

I cannot give up.

After him, Dirth.

Take care, Avenger.

You've destroyed my mechanical pet.

But it has drained even
more energy from you.

You are finished, Birdman.

Save yourself, Avenger.

I am failing fast.

Go quickly before he
comes to finish me.

Do what you can for
those in the observatory.

You must do what you can to save them.

That's an order.

A noble effort, Birdman.

But a useless one.

The hydro b*mb I have
planted in the observatory

will go off within minutes.

And you can do nothing to save them.

What phenomenon is that?

It is the comet.

And its powers were
like that of the sun.

My strength has come back.

No, it cannot be.

I cannot believe this.

Quick, tell me where
the hydro b*mb is.

Spare me.

It is hidden in the
head of the telescope

on top of the observatory.

It is set to go off any minute.

I'll deal with you when
I've deactivated the b*mb.

I must escape.

No time to lose.

We can't thank you enough, Birdman.

But what of Vulturo?

I had to make a choice.

And he got away while
I destroyed the b*mb.

But we won't rest until
he is tracked down.

Right, Avenger?

Birdman!
