01x22 - The Darkest Hour

[bunniefuu]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh!

Ah!

Oh!

It's called the Time Fortress Throne.

But Kang has used his skills to camouflage it.

We could search forever.

But there's just no way to detect it from the ground.

Remember the time Tony hacked into the city's cameras

when I was kidnapped?

We'll do that too, but we'll hack into cameras

all around the world.

That's how we'll search for Kane's invisible timeship.

But how?

There aren't any cameras in space.

No, wait, there are--

manmade satellites.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OK, technical act.

Huh?

Oh!

Oh, man, that's so cool.

Oh, it'll take us forever to look through all of these.

I can do this.

Come on.

Where are you, timeship?

You think you could speed this up?

It's like finding a needle in a haystack, Makoto.

Rushing him isn't going to help.

But the Avengers, if we don't find it soon,

there's no telling what'll--

Having trouble sleeping.

Bruno!

You sure you're well enough to be walking around?

I'll be fine.

I wish I could help.

But they never told me the location of the ship.

When did you become such a baby?

You need to toughen up if we're to stand a chance against Kang.

That emerald crystal made you soft.

- Ah! - Cut it out!

Bruno's still injured and you're making it worse.

What, like Mr. Tough and Broody can't handle an armbar?

You've faced tougher pain than this, right?

Yeah, I'll show you tougher.

[LAUGHS]

Look!

There it is! - What?

Huh?

That didn't take very long.

Nicely done, Adi.

Well, it'd be closer to the truth to say there it isn't.

Huh?

There's one area where every sensor

is showing an empty space, but that can't be.

What do you mean?

ADI: It's like the sensors are being jammed.

Oh.

Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

But I'm worried.

We've never faced something this powerful.

I know.

But, still, we're the Avengers, and we never give up.

What's that mean?

You're confusing me with all this it is but it isn't.

He's telling you, Kang is likely

hiding in that open space the sensors are avoiding.

Huh?

You understood all that?

All right, smart guy.

Do you have anything else you want to share with the class?

Nothing your feeble mind would understand.

Oh?

Well, this is rich coming from the same guy

who used to think Australia and Austria were the same country.

BRUNO: What?

Why you little--

MAKOTO: At least I never believed--

[ARGUING IN BACKGROUND]

Anyway, we can't know for certain it's hiding there,

right?

BRUNO: You swore you'd never bring that up again.

[ARGUING IN BACKGROUND]

No, we can't, not unless we physically go there ourselves.

So--

So what are we waiting for?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, Cap's right.

We can't give up now.

Oh.

FRIDAY: Armor damage at 75%.

[GROWL]

Can't quit now, not with what's at stake.

The children are depending on us.

Defeat is not an option.

You heard her, let's stop Kane.

I'm in.

Let's do this.

Avengers, assemble.

Shield throw!

Mjolnir throw.

Thrust sting!

Time for some smashing!

Oh!

Unibeam!

Energy blast!

Ah!

Ah!

Our attacks don't seem to have any effect.

Submit!

Never.

You made a grave mistake coming here to conquer this land.

You are no match for Earth's mightiest heroes.

Ah!

Any word on their status?

No one but Falcon's responding.

I'm guessing they probably have their hands full.

[PANTING]

Makoto!

Don't leave without me.

I'm coming.

Oh!

No, you're not.

You need to rest.

They're right.

Your body's still recovering.

You keep an eye on things here.

We can handle this job ourselves.

[PANTING]

[STRUGGLING]

[FIGHTING]

Oh, that hurt.

OK, big guy, get off me.

Ha!

You are nothing but insects to me.

Get off my friends.

Ah!

Oh!

Hawkeye!

Black Widow!

Sorry we kept you waiting.

Situation's looking pretty dire down there.

Sure, show up just when we're tiring him out so you

can claim all the credit.

Yeah, you're just worried my bow's going to show you up.

Falcon, it's good to see you again.

Likewise, Thor.

Though it'd be nice to meet up without having to deal

with some global threat.

Hey, retreating already?

Hmm.

Conqueror Kang does not retreat.

No, you fools.

I'm merely preventing your escape.

Oh!

FRIDAY: Mr. Stark--

Make it quick, Friday.

I'm a little busy here.

FRIDAY: The Quinjet just left Avengers Tower.

What?

Those kids hijacked my jet?

Not exactly the time for a joy ride.

Makoto, what are you up to?

Keep your eyes peeled.

We're coming up on the site.

But I don't see anything.

Well, of course you don't.

It's using stealth tech to camouflage itself.

Guys, I found it.

Huh?

It's massive.

Why did it come out of its stealth mode?

I'm not really sure, but it doesn't seem to be

taking offensive measures.

Um, Adi, how did you open that door?

I didn't.

That wasn't me.

Maybe the thing is just motion activated.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Anyone else got a bad feeling about this?

Do all the doors here just open on their own?

It's as if it's inviting us further inside.

It has to be a trap.

I have an idea.

Adi, use your technical act.

I've tried, but it doesn't seem

to be working on this ship.

What?

When it comes to future tech, my technical act

appears to be utterly useless.

Makoto, where are you going?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I don't care what's waiting ahead of us.

There's no turning back.

I can't stand around while the Avengers

risk their lives for us.

We got to help them.

Yeah.

I agree.

You're right.

Whenever we've been in trouble, the Avengers

always came to our aid.

It's time we pay them back.

Future Avengers, let's do this.

[AUDIO LOGO]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh!

And where do you think you're going?

I'm going after the kids.

Let me go, Tony.

They may need our help.

The kids can handle themselves.

Besides, the further they are from here,

the safer they'll be.

Ah!

We'll get them after we defeat Kang.

It wants us to go this way.

Let's go.

Oh!

What?

What is that?

Emerald crystals!

Looks like they're growing, like they're

reaching out to each other.

Who cares.

I'm smashing it.

Ah!

Oh! - Makoto!

Ah!

Are you OK?

It's nothing.

I totally meant to do that.

[EVIL LAUGH] You've come, my children of the Emerald.

Is his throne flying?

I think that's Kang.

Huh?

ADI: But how is it possible?

Aren't the Avengers battling Kang back on Earth?

Maybe Kang has a twin, you know,

big brother, little brother?

[EVIL LAUGH] The Avengers are busy fighting an illusion

I've created, one with substance, allowing

it to have a lasting impact.

An illusion can't have substance,

that's physically impossible.

Anything is possible.

Through the power of my throne, I can make dreams a reality.

You know, for a villain, you share

an awful lot of information.

It matters not.

There is no one for you to share it with now

that you are permanent residents of my timeship.

What are you talking about?

If you think we're staying here any longer than it takes

to kick your lazy butt, then you're a whole lot

crazier than you look.

The bravery you display is rather commendable

if not entirely foolish.

Let's see if your bite matches your bark.

Ah!

You're going to have to try a lot harder than that

to stand a chance against us.

I'm getting tired of putting all you

arrogant types in your place.

Oh!

You want to see my aerial act?

Type zero, double impact.

He vanished.

Oh!

I'm disappointed that the children of the Emerald

have so little to offer.

Surely, you're stronger than that.

Had I known how pitiful you are, I wouldn't

have invited you into my ship.

You'll have to deal with me.

Ah!

So be it.

Ah!

Adi!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, come on.

Nothing's working.

And I just used the last of my arrows.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

You puny, foolish creatures.

Why can't you understand?

I am Earth's sole savior.

Without my protection, your entire species

will become extinct.

You, a savior?

Indeed.

Once I have finalized my Emerald Rain Project,

mankind will be granted immense powers.

I will evolve the human species and create

the most powerful army ever.

Humanity will finally have the tools to defend itself,

and I will be the revered leader.

No way, man.

That plan stinks.

You're talking about enslavement.

He's right.

We don't submit to bullies, no matter how

powerful they think they are.

You're no savior, you're a dictator.

Hmm, I see.

If you're not willing to accept the salvation

I'm offering to you and your people, I'll force it.

Your choice.

Chloe, protect Adi.

You got it.

Your foolishness has begun to annoy me.

You've made your choice.

You're no longer of any use.

Just hold on.

You haven't heard my counteroffer.

Ah!

Oh!

[GASP]

His power is terrifying.

Do you give up?

It's clear you're no match for me.

This is your final chance to submit.

You just don't get it.

Heroes don't give up.

It's our job to make sure guys like you

never win, no matter what.

Tornado!

Hmm, powerless peasants.

Ah!

Ah!

I'm disappointed in you.

Who dares?

Huh?

Bruno!

Bruno?

Hold on.

How did you-- you should be home resting.

I can't just lie there in bed doing

nothing, not when my partner is laying it on the line,

am I right?

You're right.

Ha.

How amusing.

But adding another powerless human to your ranks

is ultimately pointless.

Maybe.

But you haven't seen what kind of team we make.

Impress me, and your deaths will be quick.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ah!

[EFFORT SOUNDS]

He's amazing!

Oh no!

If he's not careful, he'll burn himself out.

Bruno, stand down.

Your body can't take much more.

Bruno!

You OK?

Bruno.

[EVIL LAUGH] You humans are such sentimental creatures,

and it will be your downfall.

Makoto, you remember?

You said we were strongest together, didn't you?

Yeah, that's right.

Together we're unmatched.

[WEAK LAUGH] Ah!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

BRUNO (VOICEOVER): Makoto, we've experienced so much together.

And, no matter what happened, you stuck by my side.

I've caused you so much pain, but you never gave up on me.

I won't ever be able to repay you,

but I'll try, because that's what friends do.

Ah!

You're more foolish than your weak little friends.

Say your goodbyes.

Do it now, Makoto!

Use your type five!

I can't!

You'd be--

Do it!

It It's the only way!

I hope you know what you're doing.

Aerial act, type five, speed!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Uh, guys?

He vanished.

I don't understand.

Did we defeat him?

I'm not really sure, but we need

to find the kids while we can.

You guys!

Give me a hand!

There's a large group of people trapped

under the rubble over here.

Don't worry.

We can take care of this mess.

Let us know when you find them.

[ELECTRIC SIZZLING]

I don't believe it.

You two were amazing.

Bruno, don't ever do that to me again.

What are you talking about?

I was only following your plan.

My plan?

Oh, wait, do you mean--

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I think I figured it out.

When we fight a villain who uses magic, the way to beat them

is to get him to summon lightning.

Now, just hear me out.

Since you have a metal body, electrical attacks

will naturally be attracted to you,

leaving me to take him down with my type five weather attacks.

Just so I'm clear about your brilliant plan, I get fried

and you're the hero?

Yes, but you'll impress everyone

with your pain tolerance.

Bruno, I can't believe you remembered.

Of course.

And it turns out you were right.

When you and I work together, no one stands a chance against us.

Best friends?

Always.

The strongest superhero duo is back.

Look at them.

The old Bruno's back.

It's about time.

[RUMBLING]

Oh!

[GASP]

I underestimated you.

I won't make that mistake again.

I think we should go to our backup plan?

I'm all ears.

What is it?

I was hoping you had something.

Ah!

Huh?

Ah!

Ah!

Arg!

Ha, so the Avengers return.

Is this your definition of staying out of trouble?

Um--

You're lucky I don't ground you.

That being said, I'm proud of you guys.

[LAUGHS] We're just getting started.

Let's go--

I don't think so.

You've done your part, just leave the rest to us.

Take the Avenge jet and go home.

Make sure Bruno and Adi get medical treatment right away.

You got it.

Got to admit, I didn't see that coming.

This man behind the curtain here was

controlling that gigantic physical image the whole time.

Mind telling me what kind of technology can do that?

The kids could use a new babysitter.

Please, your primitive minds couldn't fathom its complexity.

Huh.

Pretty big talk coming from an itty bitty man who's

too scared to fight us himself.

Agreed.

In comparison, he doesn't seem all that tough now, does he?

You'll pay for the destruction you have caused.

Avengers assemble!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Enough, you simpletons.

I'm sending you to where you truly belong.

Let's see how well you handle time travel, Avengers.

Hold on.

[AUDIO LOGO]

Enough, for you simpletons.

I'm sending you to where you truly belong.

Let's see how well you handle time travel, Avengers.

What?

Time travel?

What does he mean by that?

Avengers!

Oh!

Is everyone OK?

Yeah.

Just nauseous.

Where'd Kang go?

I'll smash him.

More importantly, where have we been sent?

Friday, patch me into the nearest satellite.

FRIDAY: I can find no available satellites.

Wait, what?

Did you say-- what do you mean there aren't any satellites?

You there, tell me, what is this place?

Why, sir, you are in Britain, the kingdom of King Arthur.

The King Arthur?

Ah!

M-m-monster!

FRIDAY: It's believed that King Arthur ruled

during the early 16th century.

Friday, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Kang really did send us back in time.

My, such peculiar looking travelers.

I'd better go give them a warm welcome.

[EVIL LAUGH]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

(SINGING) Avengers

Avengers

Future Avengers

Avengers

Avengers

Future Avengers

Yeah

Avengers

Future Avengers

[MUSIC PLAYING]

NARRATOR: Kang really sent the Avengers into the past?

They're going to stick out like a bunch of sore thumbs.

Who is that mysterious cauldron lady?

She looks like trouble.

I hope they find their way back soon.

The Emerald Rain Project is nearing completion.

But the Future Avengers are on the case,

and they're enlisting the help of the world's most

powerful sorcerer, Dr. Strange.

Will Makoto and the others be able to withstand

his mind-bending nature?

Find out next time on Marvel Future Avengers, "Out of Time."

Catch the Future Avengers.
