02x04 - The Boy Who Draws Monsters

[bunniefuu]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What is... What is that?

-Hey!
-Quiet, would you.

This thing is sensitive.

We don't want anything
to mess with the reading.

[SCREAMING]

[THEME MUSIC]

Wow, did you draw that?

Uh-huh.

What a cool looking dinosaur.

It's actually kaiju.

Kaiju, like a made-up monster?

Nice.

Thanks. I think so.

I'm Makoto, by the way.

My name's Kei.

But some of the people around
here call me Kid Kaiju.

Kid Kaiju, huh?

Kind of a weird nickname.

Yeah, I don't mind.

I kind of like it.

I guess it's because I draw
tons of these creatures all the time.

Tons, you mean there's more?

Can I see them?

Sure, check these out.

Wow.

Those are amazing.

You're an incredible artist, Kei.

Hey, Makoto.

Come on, what are you doing over there?

We are battle training when we get back.

We need to get going.

Seriously?

Battle training?
Hold on, are you an Avenger?

Sure am. You're looking at the leader
of the Future Avengers, a.k.a. Hurricane.

You're the leader? That's awesome.

Yeah, they kind of do whatever I say.

Makoto! Did you hear me?

I said, we need to get going.

All right, all right, I'm coming.

Give me a break, already.

See you later, Kei!

Right, see you later.

Not right now.

They're going to hear you.

Keep it down, okay?

Wait, slow down.

These things are heavy.

That's what you get
for skipping out on our errands.

But I'm the leader.

That's right.
That's why you get to carry everything.

Something's going on up there.

Oh, my.

-What did that?
-I don't know.

What happened?

Wow, the road is really messed up.

Think it's a busted water pipe
or something?

Wait, check it out.

Did that just move?

It's definitely moving.

[GROWLING]

-What's that thing?
-A dinosaur?

Yeah, I don't think so.

Dinosaurs went extinct eons ago.

Extinct or not, that looks like a dinosaur
with a drill on his head.

You're wrong, that thing is a kaiju.

A kaiju?

That's crazy.

Everyone in the city is in danger.

You're right. And Mr. Stark and the others
are out of town on a mission.

That means it's up to us
to put that dinosaur down

before it destroys the city.

I told you, it's not a dinosaur,
it's a kaiju.

Dinosaur, kaiju, who cares?

Let's go.

Future Avengers, assemble.

Hey, wait a second.

As leader, I'm the one who's supposed
to start the rallying cry.

Come on.

What?

Wait for me!

All right, how about some wing daggers?

Technical act.

Here it goes.

Take this.

Good, keep it up.

There, how do you like this?

Save some kaiju clobbering for me.

It's time for aerial act.

Time zero, double impact!

Down you go.

You guys set him up for me,
I finished him off. Way to go, Bruno.

Don't start celebrating just yet.

Huh?

That was close.

See, don't let your guard down.

Fine, how about some
double impact rapid fire?

Nothing.

Not even a scratch.

This isn't good.

Look out!

I've had enough from you.

Transmission from Iron Man.

Future Avengers, do you read me?

Iron Man!

Are you four okay?

Yeah, for now, at least.

Friday filled me in on what's happening.

Hang on a little longer,
we'll be there as soon as we can.

It's okay, we can handle this. [CRY]

Hurricane!

Oh, no.

What are you waiting for, Makoto.

Get away from there.

The leader doesn't run away.

I'm going to take him down.

Then start acting like a leader
and do the right thing.

What's happening?

Hurricane, respond.

Charade, Codex, Twister, what happened?

No, another one.

A second Kaiju?

Are you serious?
Where do these things keep coming from?

Oh, no. Cap, hurry.

You've got it.

[ROARING]

We couldn't handle one,
and now there's two of them.

Anyone remember the part of our training
that dealt with dinosaurs?

I think we should wait
until the Avengers get here.

Hey, are you listening to me?

Snap out of it, Makoto.

Yeah, I heard you.

But that kaiju,
he's trying to stop the other one.

That's the kaiju from Kei's sketchbook.

It vanished.

So these are the situation
reports that were sent to us.

In the Pacific Ocean,
a deep sea oil platform.

In Central Asia, an industrial complex.

And at a survey station in the Antarctic.

All of these accidents occurred
in the past several days.

And believe it or not,
they all have one thing in common.

Play it, Friday.

Of course. Playing back retrieved audio.

What is that thing?

Sound the emergency evacuation alarm!

At the time of each of these accidents,

we believe there was contact
with an unknown being.

I'm guessing like the creature
we saw today. Scary.

You know,
you might be on the right track, Chloe.

Reports include seeing
an unidentified creature

exceeding 32 feet in length.

That's pretty massive.

You think it could have been...

A kaiju?

Well, after what you saw today,
I'd say that's probable.

Those creatures appearing out
of nowhere and causing chaos.

It lines up with the other reports.

And the way it disappeared
sounds the same, too.

By the time we got there,
both of the kaiju were already gone.

Our timing was unfortunate.

They appeared while we were away.

So these kaiju just keep
popping up all over the place.

What's going on around here?

Why now when we've never seen them before?

That I couldn't tell you.

But if we include all similar
incidents in our data,

these kaiju have been showing
up for the past several years.

What?

How could something like that go on
for so long without us hearing about it?

Listen, Tony's including
all reports of sightings.

With misidentifications
and false alarms mixed in,

these numbers could be off.

That's true, but now
that we have our own eyewitnesses,

maybe we'll find a clue
we would have missed before.

Hey, that's Kei in the bottom left corner.

Who's Kei?

Someone you know?

I met him in town today.

He's really talented at drawing kaiju.

Drawing kaiju?

Do you suppose that might
have some possible connection

to these incidents?

If he's into kaiju, it's not unusual

for him to be
at the site of a kaiju incident.

Still a bit odd.

Friday, run a search on this Kei,

see if anything interesting pops up.

Search in progress.

There are three hits.

It's him.

The same boy at the site of three
different kaiju occurrences.

What does that mean?

It means we need to take a closer look
at your new friend.

What's the matter?
Not violent enough for you?

Patience. The time is not yet upon us.

I want to get out of here
and do some damage.

That decision is not ours to make.

Indeed.

Our collective fate
is entirely up to the whim of our master.

We continue tonight's broadcast
with more kaiju news.

The two mysterious creatures
that appeared today

out of nowhere damaged multiple buildings
and vehicles in a violent rampage

before disappearing without a trace.

Fortunately, it appears
there were no casualties

during the incident.

The police and other law enforcement

are trying to find out just
where these monsters went.

What? No, wait just a minute.

Kei's is not responsible for this.

He's just a kid.

We just want to talk to him, that's all.

Ask him some questions.

He's not our enemy!

Easy, Makoto, calm down.

As I mentioned yesterday,
the boy Makoto met in the park,

Kei Kawade, who also goes
by the nickname Kid Kaiju,

happened to be at several
of the recent kaiju incidents.

And following each of these occurrences,

he changed his residence.

Seems like more than a coincidence.

Wait, are you saying
that this kid might be the one

behind all these kaiju incidents?

We don't know yet.

But judging by the circumstances,

there is a good chance
he's involved in some way.

That's crazy. He's a good kid.

Calm down.

He just loves the kaiju monsters,

and he's really good at drawing them.

He hasn't done anything wrong.

That's a lot to assume considering
you've only known him since yesterday.

How can you be so sure he's innocent?

Well, I have a feeling, all right?

I just know it.

Look, he's not a bad guy,
and that's all there is to it.

-Makoto, wait!
-You can't leave.

I'm only here to learn from the Avengers,
not to do their bidding.

Come on.

Just let him go.

Right now, the search is our priority.

Have any of you seen this boy before?

-No.
-No.

Sure haven't.

We've collected all the video footage

within a five-mile radius of where
the kaiju appeared yesterday.

We also gathered
and analyzed satellite images

of various places where
Kei might be likely to go.

No, he doesn't look familiar.

As of right now, that kid is our only clue

to solving the mystery behind
these monster appearances.

Do everything you can to find him.

Thor, calm down.

Take it easy.

Look at him, that's not a real kaiju.

What is wrong with you?

Yeah, sure. I've seen that kid before.

You have?

Uh-huh, he comes in here all the time,
in fact.

I know him, too.

He's really good at drawing
those kaiju monsters.

That's the one.

So do you have any idea
where he might be right now?

Not a single clue.

We've looked everywhere.
Where could he be?

I don't know.

It's not like there's
a "boys who like kaiju" hang out.

Hey, look.

Makoto.

Where do you think he's going?

Think he figured out where Kei is?

If he has,
it's too dangerous for him to go alone.

What's he doing at a baseball stadium?

There's no game today.

[GROWL]

It's so nice to get outside.

If you don't let us out of here,

I'm going to be out of shape.

You know, Kei. I think something weird
is going on around here.

Something weird?

What do you mean?

I get this feeling something
bad is about to happen.

I can't really explain it.

Shh, someone's coming.

Makoto?

Hey, Kei. How's it going?

Been looking for you.

Really?

Looking for me?

Why? Is something wrong?

That's weird, I thought
I heard some voices a second ago.

What voices?

There's no one here but me.

You must have imagined it.

No way, he's hiding something.

Yeah, that guy was
definitely talking to someone.

Hey, this is Charade.

We finally found Kei Kawade.

Makoto is with him right now.

He's with Makoto?

Man, that kid is a loose cannon.

All right, we're on our way.

What are you doing in an empty stadium?

I like to draw here.

It's nice and quiet.

Gotcha.

So what's this all about?

When you got here,
you said you were looking for me?

Oh, yeah.

Listen, Kei, please tell me
you're not a bad guy.

What?

You love kaiju, and that's all, right?

A bunch of kaiju type monsters have been
rampaging all over the place.

Be straight with me, you don't
have anything to do with that,

do you?

Well, I...

Get away from him, Makoto.

Iron Man, wait.

Back away. Now.

Hang on, Kei had nothing to do with it.

Kei Kawade.

Or should I say Kid Kaiju?

Don't be afraid,
we just want to talk to you.

Everything will be okay.

We've evacuated a three-mile
perimeter around this area.

If you tried to resist us,
we will do everything

in our power to stop you.

Resist?

I don't know
what you guys are talking about.

I think you know what I mean.

Don't make me spell it out for you.

Hey, Friday, picking up anything?

After scanning thoroughly,
I read no kaiju activity here,

or within the established perimeter.

That's good. Keep your eyes open.

Understood.

Don't give us any trouble here, Kei.

We don't want this
to turn into a situation.

Look, I already told you,
he's got nothing to do with this, okay?

Why does everyone
think we're the bad ones?

What did you say?

We've never done anything wrong, ever.

This isn't fair.

Leave them alone.

They're not bad.

They're not. Look!

Friday?

I'm detecting the surge of
energy coming from Kei Kawade.

Increasing rapidly.

Kei!

It's the same one from yesterday.

Did that monster just
pop out of his sketchbook?

That boy's abilities are amazing.

It's just as we thought,
he must be behind the kaiju incidents.

You're wrong, that kaiju wasn't.

It didn't attack us, it saved us.

Let's go, Slizzik.

Get us out of here.

If that thing reaches town, there's no
telling how much damage it'll do.

We have to stop it here.

Avengers, assemble!

All right, shield throw!

Careful, don't harm the boy!

Repulsor!

Slizzik, no!

Don't attack them!

That thing's power is insane.

Don't do it, Iron Man.

This kaiju isn't what you think.

Listen to me for a second.

Makoto, get out of the way.

Kei, no.

Slizzik, are you okay?

Did you hear me?

Please say something.

Everyone, Slizzik needs your help.

Come out Scragg, Mekara,
Aegis, Hi-Vo, please.

My sensors are picking up something new.

What?

Multiple energy sources.

Not good.

They've got us surrounded.

What's going on? How is this possible?

I don't care how many there are,
I'll smash them all.

No! Why won't you listen. I said, stop.

Kei and these kaiju
aren't looking for a fight.

So back off.

Nonsense, Makoto.

That dragon kaiju was trying to scorch us.

Cause you guys attacked him first.

He was defending himself.

Yesterday, Kei's kaiju saved all of us
from that first one with a drill face.

This creature saved you?

No way.

I don't believe you.

It's the absolute truth.

Tell them, Kei, they're friendly.

I've crossed paths
with many different monsters

across the universe.

Some did have gentle souls

despite having
an otherwise terrifying appearance.

We can't rule out the possibility
that what Makoto saw happened.

Maybe, but all those other incidents.

We have so many eyewitness reports
of kaiju harming innocent people.

That's a good point, Cap.

So why are you protecting
that boy, Makoto?

Because Kei loves kaiju.

He doesn't see them
as a bunch of monsters.

You can tell that
from the drawings in his sketchbook.

Take a look at them.

There's no way he'd make
them do bad things

when he cares so much about them.

Makoto.

Yeah, I hear you,
but that's not good enough.

With so many kaiju appearing
so close to the city,

there's no time to talk.

Step away from them.

Mekara, Aegis, Hi-Vo, Slizzik, Scragg.

Hang on, let's not do this, shall we?

What happened?

Why are we stopping?

Things were just getting interesting.

Sorry, but I pondered it.

And the words of Makoto
ring true to my ears.

I believe nothing about this situation
necessitates a skirmish with the Avengers.

You sure, Scragg?

Uh...

Wait, what?

Did that giant lizard
just say what I think he said?

Kaiju, born from the pages
of Kei Kawade's sketchbook,

despite their appearance,
they seem to be pretty friendly.

This monstrous turn of events
isn't going to have a simple wrap up.

Wait, look up in the sky.

Some new enemies are headed our way.

The Avengers and their new kaiju allies

are the only hope
for stopping world destruction.

Next time, on Marvel's Future Avengers,

The Great Kaiju Showdown,
