Slugterrainea s01e38 Episode Script

3x12 - Dark as Night We always thought that Slugterra would stay the same forever.
Beautiful, peaceful, a world full of magic, and hope.
But that all changed.
Dr.
Blakk changed it for us.
He made his plans in secret drilling into a forbidden world to bring evil into ours.
And when a well ran dry, he found another.
It was all he needed to make himself an army.
Yes, an army of ghouls.
And he didn't stop there.
Dr.
Blakk invented technology most of us only see in nightmares.
And he's using it against anyone who gets in his way.
There isn't a jail in Slugterra that can hold him, because now he has Dark Bane working for him.
Right here, right now.
No! Slugterra will be mine, and there is nothing you can do to stop it! The Dark Bane are not a legend.
These things will do anything to find a way up to Slugterra, even if it means an allegiance with Dr.
Blakk.
That is what we're up against.
That is why we need your help, not just here, but in all the other caverns Blakk has taken over.
We're all singers and dancers.
Those Dark Bane, we're no match for them.
I'm sorry, but you're on your own.
Well, so much for the rousing speech.
Let's do this.
Gather all the slugs you can.
That's why you're here.
Trix! Check it out.
- That's a lot of guards.
- Perfect! Ew! - Do you think we, uh - Yeah, you wanna do it? - Well, that is your slug.
- Fine.
Ooh! You got your drop zones, Rookie? Now! Pronto! You're up! Yes, I am! And the view is pretty sweet.
What? Uh-oh.
I have a feeling we're in for a bad surprise.
Whoa! Fall back! Stay on the rooftops! What's up with these ghouls? They have way more power! - And speed! - And sharp, little teeth! The Dark Bane have blaster mods, some kind of accelerator that's making them megamorphs.
Those ghouls are doing the same thing Burpy did on our way to Stalagmite 17.
If they're using megamorphs, there's no way we can compete.
At least not until we get some upgrades of our own! Well, in the meantime, I've got this! Huh? Fusion move! Whoa! I'm gonna have to wait for a recharge to try that again.
We're running out of options, Eli! Let us not forget the age-old tactic of retreat! We may not have a choice.
I thought everyone had evacuated.
- We need to get these people to safety! - How? As long as they have those amped-up megamorph ghouls, we can't touch 'em.
Well, it's a good thing we've got a megamorph, too! Dude, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking, it's a no go.
These streets are too short for you to get up to that kind of speed.
Then I'll just have to go up.
There! Whoa! Glider mode! I cannot bear to watch! You're up, Chiller! Bike mode! - Yay! - Fantastic! Yes! Good one, Burpy! Let's get outta here! Let them go! We'll take what slugs we've captured back to Dr.
Blakk.
Move out! They captured a lot of slugs, but at least the people got out safely.
But we got our tails handed to us.
Until we're evenly matched, we don't stand a chance.
Somehow, we've got to get the rest of our slugs to do what you can do, buddy.
- Without jumping off buildings.
- Well, it worked, didn't it? - Really? - Oh! As near as I can tell, the key is speed.
Get a slug or ghoul going fast enough, and they'll have even more power when they transform.
But they weren't using just any ghouls.
You saw those things.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were Blakk's top ghouls.
That might explain why Burpy can do it.
You can't find another slug with as much experience as him.
Well, I only can help you with the first part, the speed.
And maybe not even I boosted this blaster's power core, which wasn't much of a challenge for a skilled troll like yours truly.
However Blasters aren't built to withstand that kind of energy.
Can't you tweak the blasters to make them stronger? I wish.
That's way out of my league, bro.
And you know what that means.
We're paying another visit to Red Hook.
And almost all of the paths to reach him take us through caverns now controlled by Dr.
Blakk.
What? Forget your maps.
- You have Pronto! - Hey! I shall lead us there in safety and style.
You see! Safe passage, as promised.
Hmm, does Quiet Lawn Cavern seem quieter than usual? Where is everyone? Come on.
Hopefully, Red Hook knows.
If the old grouch is even here.
Oh, great! There he is.
Well, if it isn't the Shane Gang.
So great to see you.
To what do I owe the pleasure? - Owe the pleasure? - I hate to admit it but I need of some more of your master slingersmithin'.
I was trying to amp up our blaster power cores, but right - Where is everyone, Red Hook? - What do you mean? He means, it seems like this town is empty.
Oh, that! Why don't you guys come in for a spot of lemonade, and I'll tell you all about it? That sounds fantastic! Pronto is quite parched.
But I hope your lemonade is not too sweet.
Pronto likes it to have some pucker! Huh? - Are we not having lemonade? - No.
Hospitality's never really been a Red Hook thing.
Perhaps I should have done a bit more research into my character.
- Twist? - You got me.
So maybe you avoided our little trap, but good luck avoiding them.
No wonder we got here so easily, this was all a setup! - Sorry, Pronto.
- Well! I refuse to accept your highly probable scenario.
I prefer self-delusion, thank you very much.
Well, that explains where the Dark Bane got those accelerators for their blasters.
Dr.
Blakk must have Red Hook at his Citadel.
Does that mean you are going to want Pronto to take you there next? Whoa! Our only chance of defeating these guys is to get Red Hook back.
That has to be our mission, Eli.
No matter what.
We gotta get outta here first! Rev up and head for the exit! - What's our next move? - Don't get blown up! Pronto is running out of that move.
There! Hit that and don't look back! Charge! Take them out! - Whoo-hoo! Yes! - We did it! Wait.
Where's Eli? Now's your chance, guys! You gotta run! Go! Get out of here! Don't worry about me.
Go! - Looks like you got me.
- You're either a hero, or a fool.
There's probably some truth to both.
I can vouch for that.
- What's your game, Shane? - Just helping my friends.
But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Nice knowing you, Eli.
- Let's go.
- Whoa! Dr.
Blakk will be here shortly to decide what to do with you.
Tell him not to take too long.
If I get bored, I might leave.
I know you think you're a tough slinger, Shane.
But all you are right now is a prisoner without your slugs and blaster.
And a nice one.
It will be useful to one of my Dark Bane brothers, after some modification.
We're in! And we're out.
Hey.
A loose slug! Hey.
Okay, so which way do you think we should What is it, buddy? Okay, okay.
Shh! We'll go check it out.
No wonder you sensed bad slug energy here.
I knew Blakk was making tons of ghouls, but this is insane! Whoa.
What is he doing with those ghouls? We have the Shane.
Well done.
He will suffer soon enough.
Right now, however, we need more ghouls.
See to it! I want to know what that machine does, but we need to find Red Hook and get him to safety first.
A room under guard this looks promising.
Huh? Look, you filthy ghoul-monger.
I'll finish this a lot quicker if you quit - You're alive.
- Um, why wouldn't I be? Huh.
Figured when that big oaf brought me this, - you were toast.
- You already put the upgrade on it? Oh! This is gonna be easier than I thought! All we need to do is fire Burpy at that wall and Ow! Are you nuts? I still have to fine-tune the core capacity.
No telling what will happen if you fire that thing now! Huh? Huh? Huh? Been a while since I've done that.
Ahh! Seriously, who knew? Eli, catch! I see we have something in common, you and I, breaking out of prison cells.
When you said my blaster isn't ready, how un-ready are we talking? Eh, we can't live forever, kid.
Fire it up! I guess it works.
We really should go.
Might wanna hold on a little tighter this time.
I'm too old for this.
Ah! Shoo! Get on with ya, Bubbaleone! Hey.
What took you so long? Did a little sightseeing.
Let's go.
We have the Shane? How precisely do we have him? - We'll go after them.
- No.
You needn't bother.
With one more shipment of slugs, we'll have enough ghoul power to tear Slugterra apart.
Get to work.
Thanks for coming for us.
But how'd you know I'd be here? Eli Shane always follows his hero instinct.
Usually to do something heroically foolish.
Is that what everyone thinks about me? - Uh-huh.
- That's you who have no head.
Pretty much, ya.
Well, all that matters is that Red Hook is safe and we've got his accelerators.
Now we just need to figure out the slug part.
We'll head back to HQ and regroup.
We'll be back in action in no time.
Good.
Because as soon as we can match slugs against the Dark Bane, we're coming right back here.
Dr.
Blakk has something planned, something big, and I have the feeling we're the only ones who can stop it.
