GUARDS:
Halt!
Return to your cell!

Halt!
Return to your cell!

Halt!
Return to your cell!

Halt!
Return to your cell!

[ clank! ]

RATH:
You tin cans want to
tangle with Rath?!

Come on!
Let's do it!

There's enough of me for the lot
of you!

Wait --
new plan.

Run away!
Run away!

Bad idea.

[grunts ]

Lady or the tiger,
boys -- your choice.

Okay, not really.

[ metal creaks ]

Want to try for two
falls out of three?

[groans ]

Huh?

Be that way.

See if I care.

So, the Forever Knights aren't
sneaking around anymore?

They're definitely
getting bolder.

But they're not
getting any smarter.

Come on.
Hop in.

I'll drop you guys off at home.

Can we stop by
Mr. Smoothy's on the way?

Not tonight.
I've got to get home.

To be honest,
I'm surprised you even have a home.

Nice.

[engine turns over]

[tires squeal ]

I don't really stay there,

but my mom needed a
place.

So, that garage your
friend lets you use...

It's at my mom's place.

What?

You think I live in a tent in
the woods?

Either there or in some
cool underground cave.

[ chuckles ]

[tires squeal ]

What do you know?

I'm actually on time for a --

no!

Mom?!

Mom?!
Please!

Kevin.

I was out shopping.

What happened here?

It -- it looks like we were
robbed.

The TV's still here,
and your jewelry box.

Looks more like the place was
searched.

Searched?

KEVIN:
Ugh.

Look what they did!

Honey, there's something I
should have told you

a long time ago.

BEN:
Hey, Gwen, "if a sailboat drops
a -foot anchor line

and drifts until
the line is tight

and the anchor line
makes an angle of degrees

with the water line,
how deep is the water?"

Just curious?

Oh, you know me.

I like to think about things.

If I give you the answers,

you'll never learn
anything.

Hey, I thought no child
was supposed to be left behind.

KEVIN:
If you don't pass trig,

I'm pretty sure that's
not true.

I thought you had plans.
What's up?

Need some answers.

Forget it.

She won't even give me one lousy
answer.

Not a joke, Tennyson.

What can either of you tell me

about an alien creep called
Ragnarok?

Never heard of him.

What are you working on?

None of your business.

I need to find the guy is all.

We'll help.

I didn't ask for help.

I asked for information.

If you don't have any,
stay out of this.

[door closes ]
Right.

Like that's gonna happen.

I'll get my jacket.

MAX:
Ben, Gwen.

Well, this is a pleasant
surprise.

You kids interested in one of my
famous wombat omelets?

Maybe later.

Grandpa, have you ever heard of
someone called Ragnarok?

[ pan clatters ]

Where did you hear that
name?

From Kevin.

He's out looking for the guy.

We're trying to help.

Then he must have found out.

Found out what?

It started years ago,

while I was still an active
Plumber.

DEVIN:
Max, he's getting closer!

I had a young partner in
those days -- an energetic,

likable fella.

Ship won't go any faster, Devin.

Have you tried flapping your
arms?

He really wants back
what you took from him.

What else was I supposed to do?

The guy steals the energy from
stars for a living

and sells it
to the highest bidder, remember?

I wasn't about to let him suck
our sun dry

and k*ll billion people.

So you stole the key that
activates his energy vortex.

I know.

I'm the one who bailed your butt
out of there.

Thanks, by the way.

Now drive faster.

[ both grunt ]

[ beeping ]

Blast took out our
engine coupling.

Shields are down.

We're dead in space.

Where did you hide
my key?

Well, that's a whole lot of
useless.

[grunts ]

I'm gonna try for
the Null Void projector.

[ beeping ]

MAX:
Aah!

I'm empty.

Devin, don't!

You know what could happen if
you use your powers.

I know what will happen if
I don't.

[grunts ]

Aah!

This is not my day.

Enough games.

Where is my key?

Have you tried checking under
the couch?

How noble --

willing to sacrifice yourself
for your principles.

But will you be quite so
cavalier

with the life of your
partner?

No!

Don't worry about me,
Devin.

If the choice is me or the solar
system, it's no choice at all.

Last chance --
my key or your friend.

Which will it be?

You'll get nothing from me.

Your friend it is, then.

Devin!

You'll pay for that, monster!

RAGNAROK:
[screams ]

Ragnarok?

In the Null Void,
where he belongs.

You -- you just rest easy.

You're gonna be okay.

We both know that's not true,
pal.

Still, it's not a bad way to go --
saving the world.

Devin, no!

No, stay with me!

I'll always be with you, Max.

You tell my wife and son
I love them.

I will, old friend.

You have my word.

I promise they'll be proud.

We tried to find Ragnarok 's
ship,

but it disappeared when he
was sucked into the Null Void.

But what does Kevin want
with him?

My partner's name was
Devin Levin.

Ragnarok is the monster who
m*rder*d Kevin 's father.

[glass breaks ]

[ clattering ]

Where is it,
Plumber?

Where did you hide it?

What difference does
it make?

You'll never get to use it.

You're an Osmosian.
Yes.

Who are you?

My name is
Kevin Ethan Levin.

You k*lled my father.

Prepare to die!

Aaaaaagh!

So, the Plumber spawned before
I eliminated him, eh?

Then you can tell me where to
find my key.

Not even if I knew,
m*rder*r.

[ panting ]

The key -- now!

Never happen!

We tracked you with
your Plumber's badge.

I told you to stay out
of this!

Since when have we ever
listened to you?

Lodestar!

A Biot-savartian?

Interesting.

My magnetic personality

makes me more than a
match for you.

No!

Kevin, what are you doing?

He's mine!

This is obviously a
waste of time.

The key isn't here,
but I will find it.

Gone.

This is all your fault!

You let him get away.

I told you not to butt in!

We're your friends,
Kevin.

We're not letting you go through
this alone.

We're gonna help you capture
this creep

if it's the
last thing we do.

Right. Capture.

So this key he's looking for --
do you know where it is?

Not a clue.

Are you sure?

Maybe you just don't know you
know.

What do you mean?

If the information is buried
deep in your subconscious,

maybe I can help
you find it.

You serious?

Serious as Ben's trig final.

This won't hurt.

I promise.

That's it, Kevin.

I can feel our connection.

Ah!

Gwen, are you okay?

Couldn't be better.

I know where the key is.

[ rattling ]

[glass breaks ]

You sure about this?

Trust me, Kevin.

I'm --

This is it!

I hate to break it to you,
Gwen,

but that's just a
picture.

Of me and my dad.

It's one of the few reminders
I have of him.

At last.

No!
Don't touch that!

Ingenious, your father.

KEVIN:
Give it back.

We've already
played this game, whelp.

You know how it ends.

Then let's try it with a
new player.

Diamondhead!

You are truly
beginning to annoy me.

No extra charge.

It's part of the service.

Ready to quit?

I've wasted enough
time with this inanity.

Time to finish a job that has
gone waiting for far too long.

My ship returned from
hyperspace,

where it has been
hidden all these years.

It's only the key which holds my
ship in this dimension.

Call it a safety precaution.

There's nowhere you
can hide from me.

I'm about to
extinguish your son, Levin.

Your world will die.

We shall not meet again.

BEN:
Too late.

Gwen:
Maybe not.

He's pulled that trick one too
many times.

I locked on to his energy
signature just as he teleported.

If I did this right,

maybe we can piggyback on
the same signal.

Then what are we
waiting for?

[electricity crackles ]

Ugh.

That trip make anyone else
seasick?

Ugh!

Man up, Tennyson.

Where's Ragnarok?

No sign of him.

We'll split up and
search.

You go port,
I'll do starboard.

Hey, who d*ed and made
you boss?

If you've got a
problem with it, you.

Hey!

We can cover more
ground this way.

Come on!

I've never seen Kevin
like this.

It's like he's a different
person.

He's going through a
lot, Ben.

He idolizes his father, and --

we have to find Ragnarok before
Kevin does.

I'm afraid of what he might do.

Kevin?
Come on.

He talks all tough,
but he would never --

Guys, quick!

Come here!

This way!

I found him!

Better be ready for
any-- hey, what is this?

It's an escape pod.

This isn't funny, Levin!
Let us out!

Just remember,
Tennyson --

I asked you to stay
out of this.

Oh, Kevin.

What have you done?

There's got to be a way
for us to get back there.

It's on autopilot to
Earth.

No controls, no space suits.

Kevin is on his own.

Just like he planned it.

[ beeping ]

[spaceship whirring ]

RAGNAROK:
Energy vortex activated.

Commencing solar-power drain in
five, four, three, two --

KEVIN:
Done!

You again.

I should have eliminated you
when I had the chance.

Your mistake.

[spaceship whirring ]

[electricity crackles ]

This time I'll finish the job.

One of us will.
[grunting ]

Stop!

You don't know what you're
doing!

I know exactly what
I'm doing.

I'm saving the Earth and
avenging my dad!

The energy vortex
has a delicate balance.

Disrupt its control feed and it
can implode!

Thanks for the tip.

[grunting ]

Aah!

[spaceship whirring ]

[electricity crackles ]

The vortex is destabilized!

Please, take my hand!

Save me!

Save you?

You k*lled my dad, remember?

Yes, your father.

He was a Plumber,
an honorable man.

He would never let anyone die if
he could help it.

Please!

For your father.

No!

For my father.

Kevin!

Oh, Kevin!

He was a hero, Gwen,
right to the very end.

KEVIN:
And then some.

Nice to know you guys
appreciate me.

You're alive?!

I was worried!

Hey, I'm a survivor,
remember?

Guess I got it from my dad.

Like saving the world.

And Ragnarok?

Didn't make it.
