01x07 - Let's Get the Big Bad!

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Mech X ...

I thought you were working
on the X-w*apon.

I am. Plus, I designed an app
that scans newsfeeds
for monsters.

Principal Grey:
The robot has pilots.
Human pilots!

Get the primorphus core back.

And something even better.

Ryan Walker.

I found Mech X .

Mastermind waveform:
Bring the robot to me.

Principal Grey:
How is Ryan dangerous?

Ryan:
You'll find out.

Ryan:
The bad guy is Principal Grey?

Ryan. We were just talking
about you.

The Leader plans to devastate
this entire planet.

Now that he's... turned on me,
I need you to help me stop him.

Harris!

Your stupid X-w*apon almost
b*rned my eyebrows off.

You think I wanna look
permanently surprised
for the rest of my life?

I didn't know it would
overload your console.

But now I do!
So... yay?

Pfft.

Everyone stay calm.

Huh.

(theme music playing)

Everyone stay calm.

Ryan:
No, Mark, wait!

Hm.

Hah!

Dang.

Harris, you're all ideas,
why aren't you doing something?

Was I the only one who heard
Ryan say "Stay calm"?

All right, Dingus.

Wanna explain why you brought
our enemy here?

Because we have a much
bigger problem.

The mastermind behind
the monsters.

She's gonna help us stop 'em.

You don't expect us
to trust her.

We have to.

The leader isn't what you think.

He's actually trying
to save the planet

from Earth's greatest thr*at.

Owls.

No. No, rats.

No! Owls!

Human beings?

Exactly.

We pollute. We build bombs.

We stampede each other
over Christmas sales.

Humanity has peaked.

So when the Leader clears away
the unworthy, this place
will be paradise

for those he believes
deserve to survive.

That's why he keeps
sending monsters.

That's why
we have to stop him.

Doesn't mean we're gonna
team up with you.

You tried to k*ll us.

For once, we have
the upper hand.

He has no clue
that we're working together.

Just imagine if we could
take down her boss?

No more monsters.

I don't know, Ry.

I'll erase all
your detentions.

Welcome to the team.

Okay then, how do we
find your boss?

There's... the wrinkle.

I actually don't know
who he is.

(snorts)

You know...
I have an idea
of how to flush him out.

Flush. (laughs)

Yeah. This is the team
that's b*ating you.

(laughing)

How do you live
with yourself?

Sir, I can still be useful.

You can meet me here
after school.

I will not fail you
again, sir.

Nice performance.

Yeah, how does it feel
to be the bait?

You're enjoying this,
aren't you?

How do I say this
politely? Yes.

So now what?

Now we wait.
And hope he wants you gone
as bad as I do.

Aah!
Could you watch it? Morris?

I-- I'm sorry, ma'am.
Student:
Check out Principal Grey.

(exhales, clears throat)

No, it's... my fault.

Mm... mm.

Commander Fly-Ry
to Junior Einstein,
do you read me?

I am not answering
to that code name.

Use the one
that I chose.

All right. Well, there's still
no sign of the big bad.

(sighs)
Swag Mc-Lady-k*ller.

Ahhh, that's right.

Okay, nothing
on this end, either.

Hey!

So you did that crazy stunt
at the skate off, right?

Yeah, that was my--
I mea-- mean... heh!

Ryan Walker, half pipe hero.

So you've seen my work?

Just saw it online.

-Ah, Ryan.
-Hm?

Uh, the school nurse
wanted me to tell you

the amount of bacne
you're experiencing

is abnormal.
It's highly contagious.

See a doctor
and avoid netted shirts.

I liked it better
when you sent monsters.

Don't get distracted.

This is my life on the line!

(sighs)

(inhaling loudly)

(banging into locker)

Where the heck
have you been?

Being the responsible
one for once.

(laughing)
Tell it again, please.

Okay. My school principal
is part of a conspiracy

to k*ll every human
on Earth.

(laughing)

Aren't you the kid
that filled his math teacher's
minivan with egg salad,

and then blamed it on aliens?

It did not go well.

(machine whirring)

Morris?

What are you doing here
so late?

(machine turns off)

I just figured
it would be better
to take you down

without a bunch
of kids around.

What did you just say?

(rising tone)

(gasps)

Did you really think
you were the only agent
the Leader had stationed here?

(buzzing)

(shouts)

-Ooh!
-(grunts)

Get after her!

(breathing heavily)

Oh, no. I'm cornered
and I'm helpless...

is what you expected me to say.

Let's take 'em down.

(shouts)

See ya!

(grunting)

Huh?

Bounce belt, losers.

All right.
Come play me, bro.

(groans)

(groans)

You all saw that, right?

Totally makes up
for getting beaten up
by the principal?

Ahh!

(indistinct shouts)

(beam buzzing)

Ahh... ahh!

Goodbye, kid.

(groans)

(growling)

(gasps, groans)

(growls)

Ow!

What the...?

Ooh! Ugh!

-Where is he, Morris?
Where is the Leader?
-Hey, no k*lling.

-Stop trying to be a hero.
-I said no!

(grunts)

(groans)

Um, thanks...
for saving me.

(soldiers chattering)

Yeah. Yeah, you better run!

Soldier:
Hurry up! Come on, move it!

Yeah, don't mess with Harris!

Maybe you're not so bad.

Maybe not.

(sirens)

Ballin'!

Oh, I'm keepin' this.

The others just bounced.

Ryan we gotta go, too.

The cops are coming.

It's cool. I got
what I needed.

Whoa-whoa!

Oh, now you're moving in.

'Kay, fair warning,
when no ones' on the X-Deck,
I tend to go commando.

New rule. No, you don't.

These are just a few things
from my office.

My principal cover
is useless now.

Is this me?

Yeah. I was surveilling you
back when I was trying to--

you know...

Oh. (gasps)

Mr. Wooby!

Oh, I... also broke
into your house
to look around.

Whoa, whoa, you were
in our house?

Yeah, no one could hear me
above your snoring.

Mark Walker doesn't snore.

Mmm...

How is stealing
a cherished toy

gathering intel?

-It's not. You're too old
for a Wooby.
-Oh.

Even if that thing
has the boss' location,
it will be encrypted.

I'm pretty handy
at crackin' this stuff.

Thank you.

You're just...
entering random codes?

-This could take forev--
-Got it!

er.

All right, so there's nothing
in the GPS.

But he only used it
to call one number.

This could be the boss.

Call him. I have an app
that can trace the call

if you can keep him
on the line long enough.

Okay.

(phone ringing)
Mastermind voice:
Report.

(deep voice)
Uhh... hey.
It's Morris.

Mastermind voice:
Is Grey gone?

Uh... yeah.

And, um, we also
ran into the pilot,
and we took him out, too.

But it was really hard, though.

Mastermind voice:
Why? What was the problem?

Because he's like really strong,
stronger than I thought.

And he's really cool.
Cooler than his lame brother.

Uh, if he has a brother.

Mastermind voice:
That's irrelevant.

But very thorough.

Um... I love you, bye.

I love you, bye?

Dang it, I always say that
when I'm nervous.

Amazingly, that worked.

We got his location.

What are we waiting for?

(stomping footsteps)

Harris:
There's someone in there.

With some pretty impressive tech
for an abandoned building.

Yeah, jackpot!

Mastermind waveform:
You've made a terrible mistake.

(roaring)

What?

(power turning off)

The main power core's down!

-Ryan!
-Ah!

(growling)

He's making a better world.
And, once I provide him

with the kid who can
control machines with his mind,

I will get my place
back in it.

(roaring)

Aah!
(grunts)

I've crippled the robot
for you and brought you
the crew.

Principal Grey:
But there is more.

The pilot has a power.
He can control machines
with his mind.

That's how he's been
controlling the robot.

Mastermind waveform:
I'm... intrigued.

-How did you know I had powers?
-Please.

The exploding glove?
You cracking that phone?

Wasn't hard for me to figure ot
that's how you defeated me
at the lab.

I thought the machines
were just going haywire,

but it was you.

Wait... wait, that was you
at Harpers!

You said it was a dude.

-Well...
-And he was six feet tall.

-(sheepish noise)
-And had legs like tree trunks.

-He wasn't wrong
about that, I mean--
-Quiet!

Can you honestly tell me

you don't want to know
how his power works?

Mastermind waveform:
Bring him to me
and all is forgiven.

I knew his curiosity
about your power
would buy me back in.

Now! Let's go.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Hah!

(laughs)

(groaning)

I always wondered
what a burning principal
smelled like.

Harris, can we please
get the power back?

Bam!

Principal Grey:
What?

I sabotaged the main battery!

-You mean with this?
-You really think I'd let you

smuggle a piece of tech
onto my robot?

I scanned you with my power
every five minutes.

Why would you pretend
that it worked?

Because we totally wanted
to see your face

when we double-crossed
your double-cross.

And texting photo...

-Got it.
-Got it.

-(phone chimes)
-And making it
my wallpaper.

Really, though, I hoped...
you... wouldn't go through
with it.

That maybe there was more to you
than just some... villain.

Nope!

(breathing heavily)
That monster will crush
all of us!

(growling)

Harris, where are you
with the X-w*apon?

Good to go, son.

-Ready!
-Ready.

Ready!

Mech...

Execute!

(roaring)

(roaring)

Aagh!

Ryan? Shut it down!

No, it's working!

I can do this!

Ryan!

(shouting)

(roaring)

-Ryan!
-Hey, Ryan!

Ugh! Everything hurts.

Grey's gone.

Come on. We have
to split up and find her.

Let us find her.

You rest.

No, she threatened Mom.

She threatened my friends.

I'm gonna help bring her down.

Ryan:
You're not going anywhere.

You really wanna go
head-to-head again?

You can barely stand.

Hi.

Principal Grey:
Surprise.

(buzzing)

(gasps)

Ryan!

Ooh!

Yah!

Hah!

Ohh!

Not the tie, not the tie!

-Whoa!
-(grunting)

God, I should've done
the Pilates!

-Whoa!
-(grunting)

Ah!

(grunting)

Ugh! (groans)

Ryan!

You okay?

(gasps)

Okay. (breathing deeply)

I can't control it!

Ooh!

-Oh!
-Oh, go, go, go!

I got you. Nobody dies.

Not even you.

It doesn't matter.
We're all dead anyway.

He'll make sure of that.

Can't hold on--

No!

(screaming)

(splash, bubbling)

I thought she could change.

I thought I could save her.

You tried, Ryan.

But... who was she?

Who was her boss?
I mean... did we even
really win?

We stopped her.

We're alive.

So, yeah.

I think we won.

Then why doesn't it
feel that way?

We earned some downtime.

We took down the principal
and the big bad.

Hey, we don't know that
for sure.

We couldn't find any trace
of them after the big battle.

Well, I do that Donut King
is about to premiere
a brand new flavor.

A donut made up completely
of frosting.

Whoa. I'll get the milk.

Ugh. Okay, I'm really tired
from using the X-w*apon,

so, I think I'm just gonna
chill Okay.for a bit.

(exhales)

I'm adopted?
