[Siege]
The sensors have detected
an alien spacecraft.

[siren blaring]

It's approaching this planet
Lord Dragaunus.

[Siege]
Its engines are powered
by a Neutronium core.

Yes!

With that neutronium,

I can repower
the Raptor's engines.

And how do you
expect to get it
when our ship is grounded?

Because of those accursed ducks
we are stranded here.

But wait, they do possess
an aircraft

to bring down
that alien star ship.

[Dragaunus]
Chameleon!

How many times
have we spotted
the Raptor this month?

-Ahh, none.
-How many times have we
engaged Dragaunus?

[stutters]
Yeah, none.

Well, how many times
have we gotten close
to capturing him?

Yeah-yeah, none.

[sighs]
I wish I'd been pulled

into that dimensional limbo
instead of Canard.

If he were still leader,

we'd be back on the Puckworld
right now.

Hey, Canard knew
what he was doing

when he gave you the mask,
Wildwing.

[siren blaring]

Can anyone hear me?

Canard!
Canard, it's me, buddy.
Where are ya?

In the mountains.
I came out of dimensional limbo.
Hurry!

Canard! Canard! Come in.

Was it really him?

Did you scan him
with the mask?

Umm, no.

It was just a video image.

But Canard was wearing
his wrist com when we lost him.

And our comms
have homing signals

[Wildwing]
He's in the mountains,
let's move.

[siren blaring]

I don't know, Ducks,
this feels like a trap.

That's my best friend out there,
prepare to land.

[Wildwing]
Let's move, team.

[Canard]
Wildwing, over here.

-[Wildwing] Canard.
-I love you guys.

You're such... suckers.

-[screaming]
-Hang on everyone.

[screaming]

[Siege]
All right, let's rock and roll.

[cheers]
All right, we got us a righteous
new set of wings.

I've been itching
to boost this bird
for a long time.

[Chameleon]
Come in, mission control,
the ducky is airborne, over.

[Dragaunus]
Will you quit fooling
around and get to work?

Hurry!
The alien spacecraft
is nearly in range.

We're wasting our time, Flork.

This planet is light-years
from the main space lanes.

Precisely, Zork.
If we can find some unknown
species of flora,

we're sure to win
the intergalactic gardening club
contest this year.

-And what if the natives
aren't friendly?
-[Flork] How ridiculous!

[Zork]
We've been hit!

[sirens blaring]
God, systems not responding.

Come on, you
stupid piece of junk.

Really?
Getting mad at the equipment
won't help anything.

Oh, great,
they've stolen the Aerowing.

Ahh, perfect.

Come on,
we'll have to track them
on our Jet Blades.

Whoever they are,
they're out cold.

Hey, Siege,
we shot down a flower shop.

Come on, we gotta find
the Neutronium core.

Okay, we got it.

The Neutronium core, splendid.

What's that behind you?

Erm, just a bunch of plants.

That one in the case,

it looks like
an Alterian Creeper.

It could be useful, take it.

Ahh, now for another joy ride
in our new wings.

Your flight's been cancelled,
creeps.

We'll never get to the ship now.

So there's only one thing
left to do...

Run away.

[Wildwing]
Come on, let's go back
to the pond.

I put you guys
in enough danger
for one day.

[both groan]

Look there, Flock,
the ship that shot us down.

Full power to the thrusters.

We shall pursue them.

Canard gave the mask
to the wrong duck.

Any one of you
could do a better job
of leading us.

-I quit.
-Yo! big bro, you can't
walk out on us, man.

Let him go, Nosedive.
You can't tell him what to do.

What am I doing?
Maybe I shouldn't be leader,
but I can't quit the team.

Hmm!

Whoa!
Whoa!

This Neutronium core
will get the Raptor
airborne again,

but in order to install it,
we must shut down
the entire ship,

including our cloaking device.

Err, what if we're spotted?

The Alterian Creeper
will keep the ducks so busy

they won't have time
to interfere with us.

Now, to work!

Umm, something inconspicuous.

[honking]
What's so dangerous
about a little vine anyway?

Woh-hoo-hoo.
[groans]

Never mind,
I think I just found out.

I don't believe it!
Wildwing walked out on us.

He must learn
where his true karma lies.

What about the team?
You can't play hockey
with only five ducks.

[sighs]
You may have to hire
a replacement.

Come on, are you kidding?
You know how much
that would cost?

[chuckles]
I'll take his place.

Do you actually have
any experience playing
professional hockey, Phil?

No, but I played
a lot of hooky
in high school.

Besides, how tough can it be?

Hey, we'll be glad to show you,
bubula.

Phil Palmfeather,
agent-slash-goalie.

[Phil]
Hey! Ow! Stop it!

-[grunting]
-Doing great, Phil.

[Phil]
Ow! Hey, watch it! Ow!

[sighs]
You really mean that?

Sure, just don't get boarded
like this.

Phil, hire a replacement,
okay?

You got it, bubie.

Ron, Phil Palmfeather here.

Hey, look,
I'm looking for the best goalie

in the league,
besides Wildwing.

Who's this guy Herbert,
I keep reading about?

It's pronounced "Gee",
what kinda name is that?

Canadian!
They play hockey in Canada?

Now, to put this
no-good earthling to work.

Get busy installing
that replacement
guidance system.

Can't you do it yourself?

And get our hands dirty?
I should say not.

Besides, you blasted it,
you fix it.

I didn't fire on your ship.
It must have been Dragaunus.

Oh, a wise guy, ey?

Why I oughtta...
Now get to work.

[groans]
I'm working! I'm working!

Must you always resort
to brute force?

I suppose, I should have said,
"Pretty please!"

It never hurts to be polite.

Listen, Dragaunus shot down
your ship for a reason.
We've got to stop him.

We can't get involved.
We are Watchers,

an ancient and noble race
who never get involved
in the affairs of other species.

Yeah, except for kidnapping me.

-Ah, shut up.
-Zork, really!

Go fabricate a replacement
Neutronium core,

I'll keep an eye on our guest.

Make sure he doesn't get out
of the compliance collar.

[phone ringing]
Hey, we got a phone call.

I'll patch you through
our comms.

Did you birds bring
some weird alien plant

with you when you came here?

There's giant vines everywhere

they're strangling the city.

I'm holding you
personally responsible
for this one.

[sighs]
We can't start a mission
without a leader.

[clear his throat]
I offer my services
as Main mount.

-[Duke] I don't think so.
-But I'm Wildwing's brother.

I'm a legacy,
AKA, I'm next in succession.

Ahh, no.
That would be
the Secretary of State.

Ahh, excuse me,
but as the seasoned
professional here,

I should make a fine leader.

Now, let's deal
with this problem.

Wow! Crabgrass
with delusions of grandeur.

I've heard of the urban jungle
but this takes the puck.

Now, the only way
to stop this thing
is at its core.

I'm looking into the matter,
sweetheart.

-[beeping]
-It's growing out of the park.

All right,
we'll attack its core.

Are you kidding?
We're gonna need a weed muncher

the size of Cleveland.

-What's the plan?
-[Duke] Simple...

...all for one and one for all.

That's not a plan,
it's a slogan.

-[Tanya] Duke!
-[groans]

Sorry, T, looks like
I've let you down.

I got it! I got it!
I don't got it.

The only way to save him
is to destroy that plant.

But we need a guiding light.

Glad you've come to your senses.

Negative, Nosedive.
We need our top tech
on this problem.

Oh, well, okay,
I'll just, you know,
try it on for size.

First, I gotta analyze
what this thing's is made of.

It's not used to
the nitrogen-rich atmosphere
of the Earth.

That's why it's
growing so fast.

If we can inject our
nitrogen-blocking compound

into the core of that plant,
it's gonna wither up
like that.

Let's see. Cola, diet cola--
Oh, here we are,
nitrogen blocker.

What the--?

Oh, let me think,
let me think

We're coming from two
different directions,

so, 30 tons of thrust,
plus two parts--

-[Grin] Now, Tanya!
-[Nosedive] While we're young!

That does it,
I don't wanna be a leader
anymore.

[growls]

I gotta get these nutballs
distracted.

The Neutronium core
is replaced.

What shall we do
with the alien?

I think we should jettison
amid the deep space.

Oh, yeah,
that would be a lot of fun,

but incredibly brutal.

Quite so.
I detest physical violence.

That's truly noble
of you, Flork.

You gonna let him push you
around like that, Zork?

He's excess baggage,
I say we jettison him.

-You brute.
-You wimp!

Here we go,
one jumbo weed k*ller.

We can deploy it
from the Aerowing's
m*ssile launcher.

So, who's gonna be the leader
this time?

Grin, flank us.
Tanya, fall back and recon
at the perimeter.

[chuckles] You wanna to say that
in English?

Can't you follow simple orders?

[Tanya]
Guys, it's taking over
our headquarters.

All right,
we'll blast it with pucks.

Forget pucks,
we're gonna need lawn-be-gone.

We've gotta try something.

[grunts]
I hear plants like
soothing music.

[groans]
I'd say this guy
is more of a head-banger.

[grunts]

To the Aerowing, fall out!

[groans] No.

Now, take it.

We are Watchers,
we do not go around destroying
innocent lifeforms.

Innocent? He shot us down!

We must free him.

-Dump him?
-Oh, boys.

It's time you listen to reason.

Don't get fresh with me,
feather lips.

Ah, Zork, he's not wearing
the compliance collar.

No!

You're gonna start taking orders
from me now.

It's time this team
had some real leadership
for a change.

You're absolutely right.

Ah, come on!

We must each turn
to our inner stillness
for guidance.

Give me that.

This is a job for a Nosedive.

All right,
I am ready to rock on.

Ducks!

-I can't hear you.
-That's right.

You know your team spirit
needs a little work, guys.

The Neutronium core
is installed, Dragaunus.

At last.

The Raptor is fully powered,

this planet is mine.

Careful, don't get too close.

Relax, I just need a clear shot.
Here we go.

Three... two... one...
Nosedive sandwich coming up!

Now what do we do?

We'll have to insert this thing
in the core of the plant,
manually.

Oh, we'll never make it.

Relax, Dive's in charge now.

Hakuna-Ma-Ta-Ta-Ta.

Oh, please.

Okay, if Dragaunus
took your ship's power core,

he's gonna use it
to repower the Raptor.

Must you carry on like this?
The Saurian overlords
were finished centuries ago.

Oh, yeah? Turn on
your surveillance screen.

Very well,
but you're only
fooling yourself.

Uh, you were saying?

-[both gasp]
-Now get the ship in the air.

We are Watchers,
we do not get involved.

Well, you're getting involved
now.

There's the plant's core!

Yeah, there's the guys.

-[Nosedive] Get 'em free.
-No, guys, stay back!

Tentacles coming your way.

Whoa!

[groaning]

-Hey!
-[all groaning]

Why is it cocooning?
I don't get it.

Now I get it.

Oh, man!
This is the first time a salad
ever tried to eat me.

We're ready
to pound the world
to a pulp, my lord.

Wait a minute!
We won't be safe

until that cursed mask
is destroyed.

At least things can't get
any worse, right?

-I had to open my big fat beak.
-Give me the mask.

[grunts] Get away, man.

I'm gonna get it anyway,
you stinking waste of feathers.

Yeah!
I'd sooner give to the plant.

Give me the mask.

Back up, fossils lips.

[groans]

Hey, Wildwing, the weed k*ller.

Got it.

[groans]

Where you been, big bro?

Yeah, we thought
you walked out on us.

Nah, I just got a little
side-tracked.

[Grin]
Who are they?

Guys, meet Flork and Zork.

My Alterian Creeper.

Don't tell me,
you're responsible
for all this.

Oh, no, they had a little help
from Dragaunus,

who is flying over the city
right now on the Raptor.

What? Come on!
We gotta stop him.

Ah, relax.

It is our Neutronium core.
We made it,
we can de-power it.

Now, to blast this world flat.

No! What's happening?
Switch to auxiliary power.

Quickly!
Engage the cloaking device.

Well, there goes
the neighborhood.

Well, I hope you two
get involved from now on,

especially when it comes to
fighting evil like Dragaunus.

You better believe it, bubba.

We shall be mere bystanders,
no more.

The next time
we encounter anything evil,
I say we clobber it.

Zork, really,
we must reason with it first.

Ah, you big 'fraidy cat.

Uncouth lava!

-I am very couth--
-[shouting indistinctly]

Wildwing, you have no idea
how good a leader you are.

Hey, I'll go one even further,
Wing.

You're better leader
than Canard ever was.

You can lead us into
old lizard lips traps
any time you want, bro.

Well, that's really flattering,
but uh--

Guys! Guys!
I found us a replacement.

That's great, Phil,
but we don't need him.

Wildwing is back.

Phew! Thank heavens.
I wouldn't mind playing
with you guys

but having to wear this outfit
is embarrassing.

Guy Hebert?

-This is really an honor.
-I've always wanted to meet you.

The most stylish player
in the league.

I'm a huge fan.

Truly a hockey master.

Well, I suppose
he'd be good enough
to play with us.

Who am I kidding?
Could I have your autograph,
Mr. Hebert?
