01x01 - Loonatics on Ice

[bunniefuu]

[Traffic rumbling]

Radio: this is the hottest year
in the history of acmetropolis.

It's triple digits
and climbing.

Can anything possibly
cool this heat wave off?

[Ice crackling]

[Crash]

[Screaming]

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

[Screaming]
watch out!

[Crackling]

[Screaming]

What? Aah!
[Whines]

Tech: brr!
Now, that is cold!

The pizza they have
in iceland, I could go back

And get some and be back
in 4. 2 Seconds,

But, of course,
that is just an estimation

Because you never know
about traffic. Mmf!

That was
one of those questions

That didn't require
an answer.

Hey, ace!

On it, tech.

Extra crispy.
Pizza, duck?

Are you kidding?

I've already had
my protein shake.

It's vitally
important to maintain

A superhero physique

Because you can't be
flabby when you're...

The duckinator!

Yesterday you were
calling yourself

Super duper duck.

Yeah, well, it wasn't quite
rolling off the tongue.

Besides, I need a name
that'll fit on the costume.

How about...
Mmm..."Duck"?

Very funny.

[Music playing
on headphones]

Tech, did you order
more than one pie?

No, why?

'Cause slam is
in the house.

[Muttering]

[Ringing]

Loonatics,
we have a problem.

You got that right,
zodavia.

I'd say we got
a serious problem.

[Ice crackling]

Zodavia:
in the year 2772,

A meteor strikes
the city-planet of acmetropolis,

Knocking it off its axis.

This cosmic event releases
supernatural forces,

Unleashing
a new kind of hero...

The loonatics.

[Music playing]

Ace: eh, what's
up, zodavia?

Certainly not
the temperature.

Zodavia: so far,
nobody can figure out

Where this iceberg
came from.

I don't have to tell you
what will happen

If the temperature
keeps dropping.

I knew it.

We're gonna lose
cable again.

Ok, maybe I do
have to tell you.

The entire planet could be
facing a new ice age.

Oh, great.

Those winter sweaters
make me look chubbo.

When the meteor hit earth,

Your superpowers weren't
the only aftereffect.

This iceberg
could be related.

I think we can handle
one iceberg.

Acmetropolis is counting on you
to take care of this.

Zodavia out.

When she goes out,
where does she go? The movies?

Tech, we'll need some toys
to melt this ice cube.

Excuse me, chief.
They're not toys.

They're precision,
hand-crafted

Alloy instruments.

We'll take those, too,
but first, the toys.

Huh?
Hmm.

The retro-fire
master blaster.

Hold it in the palm
of your hand,

Squeeze twice,
and...

Cool! Yeah!

[Yelling]

Aah! Uh-oh.

Aah!

Uncurl your toes!
Uncurl your toes!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha! Yeah!

You gotta love
the toys.

Time to crush some ice.
Let's jet.

Would you look
at that thing?

And I've seen some doozies.
Do you think you should have

Put some more juice
in the blasters, slick?

Not that I doubt your expertise
or anything,

But that is one giant--

Whoa!

Ok, what wise guy
moved mount everest?

All right,
snow cones for everyone!

Set blasters on thaw!

Unh! No dice.

Ok, cease fire!
Cease fire!

How could my retro-fire
master blasters not work?

No worries, tech.
There's always plan b.

You're on, slam, buddy.

[Growling]

Glorified zamboni.

Chipping ice isn't
a super power.

Quacking is
a super power. Observe.

You can stop
observing now.

Good guys--one,
mother nature--nothin'.

[Panting]

Yeah.

Hold on, ace.
Mother nature might be done,

But I'm picking
something up.

Duck: perhaps
a high-pitched
dog whistle?

[Rumbling]

[All gasp]

[Heavy footsteps]

Boy, are you guys lost.

What's up, doc?

I am gunnar!

Gonna what?

Go to a viking convention
at the civic center?

No! We are here to
take over your world!

You know, you frosted flakes
might as well

Go back to where
you came from,

Because this is
a "no invasion" zone.

We will conquer your world
by any means necessary.

No, you won't.

Yes, we will!

No, you won't!

Yes, we will!

Yes, you will!

No, we won't
conquer your world!

Have it your way.

Ooh, I will enjoy
crushing you, rabbit! Yaah!

Oh, yeah, like that's
ever gonna happen.

[Yelling and grunting]

I can keep this up all day.

Taste my cold steel!
Ha ha ha!

Time to
chill out, bunny!

I don't think so!

[Boom]

Hammers of frost!

Aah! Oof!

Ace!

Their weapons seem
to be charged

With a sub-zero
hypo-thermal

Liquid solidification
energy

That when fired
can freeze--

Yeah, I got that part
figured out.

[All grunting]

Let's put this city on ice!
Ha ha ha ha!

[Shivering]

Ok, I'm out.

I'm out, and I'm safe.

Which is of
number one importance.

No need to worry
about me, I'm--

[Tapping]

Hello?
You still in there?

Well, I think that
puts me in charge!

Aah!

[Cracking]

Ooh, n-nice work
there, slam.

Heh heh.

I would have
busted you out myself

If you'd just given me
time to think.

We had seconds,
not hours, duck.

I liked you better
as a snow bunny.

I love what
they've done to the place.

Snow drifts are
very trendy this year.

Ace: hmm. Sounds like
zodavia's ring.

[Ringing]

Hmm. Hello?

I guess
you know by now

That these are
no ordinary vikings.

Yeah, they didn't even
sound scandinavian.

I believe the iceberg
slipped through

One of the
interdimensional portals

That opened up
after the meteor hit.

These mutant techno-vikings
must have been frozen inside

During an ice storm
in their own dimension.

But now that they're
here in acmetropolis

And have been released...

Ace: they can freeze
and paralyze world

So that it's easy
for them to take over!

Zodavia: precisely.

But right now,
you have bigger problems.

[Boom]

I didn't get
the last part.

What are
the bigger problems?

If their trail
leads into the city,

What are they doing
back on their boat?

Maybe they didn't want
to miss the dinner show--

"Gunnar on ice."

Let's jet.

Right!

Ready, team? 1, 2...



Ah, looks like the ice
short-circuited our jetpacks.

No worries.
Got a back-up plan, tech?

Glad you asked.

[Beep]

[Tires screech]

Let's show these vikings
how to fly!

The bunny is back!

Whoa! Who-o-a!

Daredevil duck
thanks you.

Pick a name already,
would you?

For target practice?

Until they run out
of spit wads,

Which is right...now.

Let the fun begin!

Aye-aye, skipper.

Loonatics unite!

Gunnar: ha ha ha!
Look at the cowards run!

With them gone,
no one can stop us.

[Boom]

Tech...

You've outdone yourself.

You can say it.
I'm a genius.

Ace: launch the torpedo!

Ace: so long,
ice geeks! Ha!

[Sputtering]

Ace: yeah, slam.
We didn't see that one coming.

Flying vikings?!

They won't be
flying for long.

Tech, take 'em out!

Engaging misironic
destabilizing gravity disks.

Now!

Something's wrong with
the launch mechanism.

It won't respond!

Take over, slam!

Lexi: anchors aweigh!

[Explosions]

I love
those 'splosions!

[Growls]

With their ship down,

Do you think the big freeze
is over, tech?

Hmm. All their power

Seems to come from
the horns on these helmets.

Anyone else
on board, rev?

I'll just have a look.

All clear fore.
All clear aft.

Starboard, port, bow,
none of the vikings are here,

And no spit wads.
Mm-mm-mm-mm!

So where'd
they all go?

First we see 'em,
now we don't.

This game of battleship
was all a distraction.

Hey, rev, can you
get me a read

On them nordic nutjobs?

Lexi: they're heading for
the planetary power grid.

That must have been

What zodavia was
trying to tell us.

Not to alarm anybody,

But if they freeze
the city's power core...

Then the whole planet

Will have one bad case
of frostbite.

The power core is ours!

Our mission cannot fail!

[Crackling]

Let the ice age begin!

Set your weapons
on maximum freezing.

Yaah!

Yaah!
Yaah!

[Power draining]

Eh, what's up, horn heads?

Freeze them!

You picked the wrong planet
to invade, pally.

Come on,
you overgrown trash can.

Show me what you got.

Ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Come on! Come on! How hard
is it to freeze-dry a duck?

Listen, tech,
we gotta turn the tables

And make things hot.

I'll reprogram it.
Just keep 'em busy!

Hyah!

Get 'em to use
their freezing powers!

Sorry. Nope. Afraid not.
Your turn, slam.

[Growls]

You dare?

Yaah!

[Both yelling]

[Boom]

Arrgh! Unh!

Alley-oop!

Tech, I'm in position!

Please tell me
you're almost ready.

You can't rush
brilliance.

No, but you can give it
a swift kick in the can.

One viking bites the ice!
