[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
BELLWOOD SENIOR VILLAGE. MAY I -- OH, HELLO, DOCTOR.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN QUIET ALL NIGHT.
THE RESIDENTS ARE ALL IN BED EXCEPT FOR OLD GEORGE.
THAT'S THE ONLY NAME WE HAVE FOR HIM.
I DON'T KNOW.
HE'S BEEN HERE SINCE THE PLACE OPENED BACK IN THE '70s.
YEAH, HE'S ANCIENT.
BET HE'S GOT SOME STORIES, HUH?
[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING, SWORS CLANKING ]
[ WHIRRING ] UH, I-I'M NOT SURE YOU SHOULD DO THAT.
I FOUND IT, SQUIRE, AND I'M GOING TO OPEN IT.
WHATEVER IT IS.
IT BEARS THE SEAL OF THE FOREVER KNIGHTS, AND YOU
YOURSELF TOLD ME IT'S NEARLY 2,000 YEARS OLD.
I'M WAGERING IT'S AN ANCIENT CACHE OF ALIEN WEAPONS.
THAT WOULD MAKE SIR CYRUS HAPPY.
REASON ENOUGH TO PROCEED.
NOW STAND BACK.
[ ELECTRONIC WHIRRING ] [ ZAP! ZAP! ]
[ CRACKLING ] [ OMINOUS WARBLING ]
STOP!
SOMETHING'S GOING WRONG!
UNH!
[ WARBLING CONTINUES ] [ DOOR OPENS ]
GEORGE?
[ STATIC ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
Ben: [ SNORING ]
Gwen: BEN?
BEN!
Ben: [ SPUTTERS ] I'M ON IT!
Gwen: YOU WERE ASLEEP!
Ben: WELL, YEAH, IT'S LIKE 1:00 A.M.
Kevin: MORE LIKE 3:00 A.M.
Gwen: I FELT A RIPPLE IN THE MANNA.
I THOUGHT WE SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.
Ben: I THINK I FELT A RIPPLE BACK IN MY ROOM.
YOU GUYS TAKE THE MANNA, AND I'LL INVESTIGATE MY BED.
FINE.
[ YAWNS ] YOU'RE NOT DRIVING US DOWN?
Kevin: THE GRAVEL WILL CHIP MY PAINT.
Gwen: WE'RE SETTING THE HERO BAR KIND OF LOW TONIGHT.
Kevin: TOLD YOU TO TAKE BEN'S CAR.
Ben: OH, YEAH, THAT'S SOME RIPPLED MANNA RIGHT THERE.
Kevin: FOREVER KNIGHTS THREW A PARTY.
Ben: WITH AN UNINVITED GUEST.
A FRIEND OF YOURS, NO DOUBT.
Kevin: HEY, IT MUST BE MONTY PYTHON WEEK.
Ben: SO, WHICH GROUP ARE YOU GUYS WITH -- URIAN, PATRICK, THE
FOREVER KING?
FRAUDS AND APOSTATES, THE LOT OF THEM.
I AM SIR CYRUS, AND OURS IS THE TRUE PATH, FAITHFUL TO THE WAYS
OF OUR FOUNDER, THE FIRST KNIGHT.
Gwen: ANOTHER FACTION?
I'M GONNA HAVE TO START KEEPING NOTES.
Ben: WHAT TRIED TO BREAK INTO YOUR VAULT?
TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE, YOU DID.
SIRE, A-ACTUALLY -- SILENCE, SQUIRE.
YOUR KING SPEAKS.
Gwen: YOU THINK WE DID THIS?
TWO OF MY MEN ARE MISSING, AND YOU'RE HERE.
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO TELL US WHERE YOU TOOK THEM, EVEN IF
IT'S WITH YOUR LAST BREATH.
Gwen: [ GRUNTS ] [ GRUNTS ]
[ BOTH SHOUT ]
Kevin: WASTING YOUR AMMO, DUDE.
I'M WEARING YOUR ARMOR.
RIGHT. NOBODY MOVE...
OR THE CHANGELING SUFFERS.
RAISE YOUR HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD.
Ben: IF YOU SAY SO.
[ BEEP ] Humongousaur: HUMONGOUS-- OH!
STAY BACK!
Humongousaur: HEY, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I JUST HIT
MY HEAD, AND YOU ARE REALLY ANNOYING ME!
HOLD FIRE!
Kevin: HEY, WAKE UP AND STOP FIGHTING.
Ben: WE HAVE A SITUATION HERE, WHICH, BY THE WAY, YOU
CAUSED.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP FIX IT, GREAT.
IF NOT, STAY OUT OF OUR WAY.
SIRE, I-IF I MAY BE SO BOLD, THESE PEOPLE DIDN'T CAUSE THE ACCIDENT.
IT WAS SIR REGINALD.
H-HE TRIED TO OPEN IT WITH A LASER DRILL, AND THERE WAS AN
EXPLOSION.
THEN, FOR NOW, WE SHALL DECLARE A TRUCE.
Gwen: WHO MADE THAT THING?
THE FIRST KNIGHT FORGED THE SACRED SEAL 17 CENTURIES AGO.
AS TO WHY, WELL, I WAS TRYING TO TRANSLATE THE INSCRIPTIONS, BUT
I DIDN'T FINISH IN TIME.
Gwen: MAYBE I CAN HELP.
GWEN.
WINSTON -- SIR REGINALD'S SQUIRE.
I...MEAN, I WAS.
Kevin: OKAY, SIR REGINALD'S SQUIRE, YOU GOT AN EXPLANATION
FOR WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
PERHAPS THE LASER STRUCK AN EXPLOSIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE SEAL?
Ben: THAT TRACKS.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S CRACKED FROM THE INSIDE.
SO, THE EXPLOSION TOOK DOWN MY KNIGHTS?
IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED, SQUIRE?
I'M NOT SURE.
WHEN THE ENERGY BEGAN TO BUILD UP, I, UH -- I RAN, SIRE.
Kevin: GUESS WE'RE SETTING THE HERO BAR KIND OF LOW
TONIGHT, HUH?
[ GRUNTS ] Ben: YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT
EVEN THOUGH IT'S GOT A BIG FOREVER KNIGHT SYMBOL ON IT, YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE?
ANY RECORDS WERE LONG SINCE LOST TO TIME.
SIR REGINALD THOUGHT IT WAS A WEAPONS CACHE FILLED WITH
CAPTURED ALIEN TECHNOLOGY.
[ WHIRS ]
Gwen: I DON'T THINK THIS IS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.
THAT SEAL IS INFUSED WITH MAGIC.
PREPOSTEROUS!
A FOREVER KNIGHT WOULD NEVER USE MAGIC.
Gwen: WELL, ONE OF THEM DID.
[ WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY ]
POLICE ARE REPORTING SEVERAL LOCALS HAVE GONE MISSING AFTER A BLINDING LIGHT.
Ben: LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT.
Gwen: MAYBE I SHOULD STAY HERE WITH WINSTON -- TRY TO
TRANSLATE THOSE INSCRIPTIONS.
Kevin: WHAT?! NO. BAD IDEA.
I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA NEED ALL OF OUR FIREPOWER WITH US IF WE HAVE
TO FIGHT...WHATEVER WE'RE FIGHTING.
Gwen: [ Sarcastically ] THE DANGEROUS BRIGHT LIGHT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL IN SOME PLUMBERS FOR BACKUP.
Ben: COME ON, GWEN.
KEVIN HAS A POINT.
THEN WE'LL ALL GO ON THE HUNT TOGETHER.
Gwen: THAT WAS SO RUDE!
Kevin: ME, RUDE?
TO WHOM -- SQUIRE WHIFFLE?
Gwen: WINSTON.
Kevin: I CAN'T BOTHER TO REMEMBER.
HE'S NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH.
Gwen: MM-HMM.
JEALOUS?
Kevin: OF WHAT -- HIS DUMB NAME, HIS DUMB ACCENT, OR HIS
DUMB DRESS?
Gwen: IT'S A TUNIC.
Ben: WHY ARE THEY STOPPING?
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
WE'VE DETECTED AN ALIEN LIFE-FORM.
Ben: HUH.
MY ULTIMATRIX ISN'T INTERESTED.
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
I HAVEN'T BEATEN ANYBODY UP IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
IF YOU DON'T LET THAT POLICEMAN GO RIGHT NOW, THAT'S GONNA
CHANGE.
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
FIRE!
Ben: NO!
[ BEEP ] Swampfire: SWAMPFIRE!
AAH!
UGH!
AHH!
Swampfire: HEY, WHEN I SAY NO, I MEAN NO!
Kevin: YOU COULD'VE HIT THAT GUY!
HE'S AS GOOD AS DEAD ALREADY.
[ LUCUBRA GRUNTS ]
Gwen: COME ON!
WHAT ARE YOU D-- A FRESH MIND FOR THE FEAST.
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ] Gwen: AAAAAAAH!
HOW MAY I SERVE THE GREAT ONE?
Kevin: YO, FREAK SHOW, LET HER GO!
[ GRUNTING ]
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
Gwen: [ MOANS ]
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
DON'T LET IT TOUCH YOU.
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
Kevin: [ GRUNTS ]
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ] [ LUCUBRA HOWLING ]
[ LUCUBRA GRUNTS ]
UNH!
Swampfire: WINSTON!
Ben: THIS IS NOT GONNA GO OVER WELL.
[ SIGHS ]
Ben: ARE YOU...
Gwen: LOUSY. THANKS.
DID YOU NOTICE -- Ben: THAT THE CREEPY-CRAWLY
COULDN'T MIND-CONTROL KEVIN?
YEAH.
SQUIRE WINSTON, WHERE ARE YOU?
Ben: HE'S GONE.
THAT CREATURE GRABBED HIM.
Gwen: LUCUBRA -- THAT'S WHAT IT CALLS ITSELF.
BY WHATEVER NAME, THE EVIL HAS TAKEN MY MAN, AND IT'S YOUR
FAULT!
Gwen: IT WAS AWFUL.
I COULD FEEL IT IN MY HEAD, FISHING AROUND.
Ben: FOR WHAT?
Gwen: KEVIN'S ATTACK BROKE THE CONNECTION.
Kevin: YOU'RE WELCOME.
Gwen: I KNOW, RIGHT?
I FEEL LIKE DRIVING MY BRAIN THROUGH A CAR WASH.
NO TRACE OF THE BEAST.
IF YOU THREE HADN'T INTERFERED --
Ben: YOU'D ALL BE IN JAIL FOR SHOOTING A COP, AND THE LUCUBRA
WOULD STILL HAVE YOUR SQUIRE.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
Ben: SURE, I DO.
OUR WAY, THE INNOCENT POLICEMAN GETS TO GO HOME TO HIS FAMILY
TONIGHT AND WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO CATCH THE BAD GUY.
Gwen: WHICH WOULD BE A LOT EASIER IF WE KNEW MORE ABOUT
THAT SEAL YOUR KNIGHTS FOUND.
HERE'S THE LAD'S RUCKSACK.
IT HAS HIS NOTES AND THE PICTURES HE TOOK.
Gwen: WE'LL DO OUR BEST.
I'M SURE YOU WILL...
SORCERESS.
Ben: WHILE SHE WORKS ON THAT, HOW 'BOUT YOU TAKE THE NORTH
SIDE OF THE CITY, WE TAKE THE SOUTH?
EITHER OF US RUNS INTO THE LUCUBRA, LET THE OTHER ONE KNOW.
AGREED.
Kevin: AND NOBODY MOVES IN TILL WE'RE ALL THERE.
IF MY SQUIRE IS ENDANGERED, I WILL DO WHATEVER NEEDS BE DONE.
[ LUCUBRA LAUGHS EVILLY ]
Chromastone: ANY LUCK WITH THOSE PAPERS?
Gwen: WINSTON'S NOTES ARE PRETTY USELESS.
THEY'RE MOSTLY ABOUT SOME FIRST KNIGHT FORGING THAT VAULT
1,700 YEARS AGO.
THEY'RE ALL PRETTY HIGH ON HIM.
UNFORTUNATELY, WINSTON COULDN'T READ THE RUNES PROPERLY.
HE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS FULL OF CAPTURED ALIEN TECHNOLOGY.
Chromastone: But it was a monster jail.
This first knight must've trapped the creature in there.
Kevin: AND THEY OPENED THE DOOR AND LET HIM OUT.
Gwen: I DON'T THINK IT WAS A VAULT DOOR.
I THINK IT WAS A MYSTIC SEAL TO PREVENT A DEMON FROM CROSSING
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS.
Kevin: A DEMON?
Gwen: LUCUBRA IS A CREATURE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION.
Chromastone: GOOD.
SO, WE KNOW WHERE TO SEND HIM BACK, IF WE CAN FIND HIM.
Kevin: THAT STUFF ALL BELONGS TO WINSTON, RIGHT?
MAYBE YOU COULD TRACK HIM.
Gwen: MAYBE.
[ WHIRS ]
[ GASPS ]
[ OMINOUS WARBLING ]
Kevin: YOU FIND HIM?
Gwen: I ACCIDENTALLY CONNECTED TO THE LUCUBRA.
Kevin: YOU OKAY?
Gwen: FINE.
I THINK I SAW IT ESCAPE THROUGH THE SEAL.
Chromastone: But no Winston?
Gwen: OH, I FOUND HIM, TOO.
Intersection of Roeper and Hawthorne -- get here fast.
Chromastone: MEET YOU THERE.
THEY'VE CHANGED DIRECTION, AND THEY HAVEN'T FOUND THE
TRACKING DEVICE IN WINSTON'S RUCKSACK.
RIGHT. FIRST WE KILL THE BEAST.
THEN OUR TRUCE WITH BEN TENNYSON COMES TO AN END, AS DOES HIS LIFE!
I SWEAR, IN THE NAME OF THE FIRST KNIGHT, VICTORY WILL BE OURS.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ CAR DOORS CLOSE ]
Gwen: I GUESS WE'D BETTER LET THE KNIGHTS KNOW WHERE WE ARE.
Kevin: SERIOUSLY?
Ben: WELL, I DID SAY I WOULD.
Kevin: YEAH, BUT YOU DIDN'T SAY WHEN.
Ben: GOOD POINT.
WE'LL CALL THEM AFTER IT'S ALL OVER.
Gwen: YOU TWO SHOULD BE IN POLITICS.
[ WHIRS ]
Ben: THERE'S NEVER A WAY IN WHEN YOU NEED ONE.
Kevin: I CAN FIX THAT.
Gwen: CAN WE NOT GO STRAIGHT TO THE NUCLEAR OPTION?
[ WHIRS ]
[ LUCUBRA GURGLING ]
[ LUCUBRA GROWLS ]
Kevin: THAT IS SO WRONG.
Ben: LET'S GET IN THERE.
GWEN?
GWEN?!
[ BEEP ]
Gwen: [ MOANS ]
Kevin: YOU OKAY?
Ben: OF COURSE SHE'S NOT OKAY.
SHE'S NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW DISGUSTING GOOP IS.
Gwen: THE LUCUBRA...
IN MY HEAD AGAIN.
IT FEEDS ON PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS.
Kevin: I GOT SOME THOUGHTS FOR IT RIGHT HERE.
Gwen: IT WANTS ENERGY FROM THE PARIETAL LOBE -- THE PART OF
THE BRAIN YOU USE WHEN YOU PRAY OR MEDITATE.
Kevin: SO, YOU BLISS OUT AND IT HAS LUNCH?
Gwen: UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT.
Ben: WE HAVE TO SAVE THOSE PEOPLE -- NOW.
Kevin: OKAY, ONLY GWEN STAYS OUT OF IT.
Gwen: SAYS WHO?!
I CAN HOLD MY OWN.
Kevin: NO DOUBT, BUT THAT THING GOT ITS HOOKS INTO YOU
TWICE.
Gwen: AND I SHOOK IT OFF!
Kevin: BUT WHAT IF NEXT TIME YOU CAN'T?
WHAT IF IT'S THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT?
Gwen: I'LL BE OKAY.
Kevin: LISTEN, GWEN, I CAN'T...
I MEAN...
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE YOU -- THE TEAM, YOU KNOW?
Gwen: OH.
I, UM...
HELP ME OUT HERE.
Ben: HOW 'BOUT YOU GO AROUND BACK?
IF WE GET INTO TROUBLE, BUT ONLY IF, THEN YOU JUMP IN.
Kevin: I STILL DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD BE IN ON THIS.
Ben: ME EITHER.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS FAST.
[ BEEP ]
Armodrillo: ARMODRILLO!
[ GRUNTING ]
[ LUCUBRA GRUNTS ]
[ ALL MOANING ]
KEVIN, DON'T HURT ANYONE!
Kevin: THEY STARTED IT!
Armodrillo: COME ON, PEOPLE!
BACK OFF!
WE DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!
[ FIST POUNDS ] Kevin: TO BE HONEST, I AM
CONSIDERING IT.
[ FIST POUNDS ] OW!
Gwen: OKAY, I AM DONE WITH
WAITING.
SO ARE WE.
LET THEM WEAKEN THE CREATURE.
THEN WE CAN ATTACK IN FORCE.
Gwen: I'M GOING TO HELP MY FRIENDS.
YOU'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH US FIRST.
Gwen: I WAS HOPING YOU'D SAY THAT.
[ ALL GRUNT ]
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
Kevin: GWEN, GET OUT OF HERE!
[ GRUNTS ] [ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
Gwen: [ MOANS ]
[ BEEP ]
NRG: NRG!
HEY, LUCUBRA, YOU HUNGRY?
HOW ABOUT A TASTE OF THIS?!
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
Gwen: [ MOANS ]
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
Kevin: [ GRUNTING ]
BEN?!
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
NRG: NO, I'M GOOD.
[ GRUNTS ] JUST LIKE KEVIN WAS WHEN HE WAS
WRAPPED IN METAL.
Kevin: TINFOIL HAT -- KEEPS THEM FROM CONTROLLING YOUR MIND.
Gwen: BEN, I NEED A HOLE -- A DEEP ONE.
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
NRG: HOW'S THAT?
[ LUCUBRA SHRIEKS ]
[ ALL MOAN ]
NICE!
Kevin: THEY'RE OKAY.
[ BEEP ] [ ALL MOAN ]
Gwen: STEADY THERE, SQUIRE.
UH, I TRIED TO FIGHT IT.
Kevin: WELL, HOORAY FOR YOU.
NOW GO BUY YOURSELF A COOKIE.
WE CALL THEM "BISCUITS."
SQUIRE WINSTON, STEP AWAY FROM THE ALIEN SCUM.
Ben: I THINK HE'S TALKING ABOUT US.
Kevin: AFTER ALL WE'VE MEANT TO EACH OTHER.
DID YOU DESTROY THE BEAST?
Gwen: I SENT IT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM.
Ben: GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
NO.
FOR NOW, OUR WORK IS DONE AND OUR TRUCE REMAINS IN FORCE.
Gwen: EXCEPT FOR THAT PART OUT BACK WHERE YOU AMBUSHED ME.
A MINOR MISUNDERSTANDING.
NEVERTHELESS, TAKE HEED.
WHEN WE NEXT MEET -- Ben: YEAH, YEAH, WE WILL KNOW
YOUR RIGHTEOUS VENGEANCE.
CAN WE CALL IT A NIGHT?
I COULD USE SOME SLEEP.
Kevin: OKAY, HE'S CUTE.
WE GET IT.
SQUIRE, YOU ARE NOT TO FRATERNIZE WITH THE ENEMY.
BUT, SIRE...
HEED ME WELL!
THEY MAY LOOK LIKE US, BUT THEY ARE ALIEN SPAWN, AND THEY WILL
CONTAMINATE YOU.
IS THAT CLEAR?
YES, MY LIEGE.
