[fast xylophone playing]
-[indistinct fast forward speaking]
-[radio static]
[Jack ghostly voice]
Today, I will be complete.
And once the final monster's essence
is absorbed into my pages,
I will become a powerful talisman
to protect this world!
Also, Jack has amazing hair.
Dude, are you doing voices for the book?
Uh, what? No!
[laughs] That's not even
what books sound like.
I-I wasn't! I didn't!
You were doing voices!
Smooth comeback.
Last monster!
And hopefully this is the one responsible
for the shrieking and the missing zombies.
-Yeah!
-Whoo-hoo!
Talkin' books!
[theme music playing]
[roars]
Whoa!
[all scream]
[all panting]
Hiya!
[roars]
-Ugh!
-[crashes]
[gasps] Uh!
-Ugh!
-Yuh!
Ahh Ugh.
Ahh Uh.
Ahh Ugh!
Saving the most ferocious creature
for last
may have been a miscalculation!
[monster snarling]
It's the last page of the bestiary.
You need that big grand finale.
It's like fireworks Yah!
Fireworks don't usually end
with people dying.
Yah!
You've never been to my Uncle Beau's
Fourth of July Spectacular!
[growls, roars]
There! The glowing goo pods
inside each tentacle tip.
That's the essence. We need one of those!
[snarls, hisses]
I got it! The perfect move!
Hiya!
As taught to me by Thrull!
[panting]
[roars]
Yow!
Rising Anguish!
-Yah!
-[roars]
[squelching]
Whoa!
[roars, growls]
My favorite part
Standing in a cool pose and gloating.
[heavenly sound]
Geez, windy out. I'll block it.
Here goes the last page.
The final bit of monster essence.
[hums, vibrates]
[sizzles]
Ohh.
Well, if nothing's gonna happen,
I gotta go feed Alfred.
What? I've gotten to like the little dude.
[electric hum]
[electric zapping]
[radio crackling, zapping]
[glass breaks]
-Uhh, guys?
-[paper cracks]
[pops, hums]
-Wow.
-[Jack] Whoa.
[zapping]
That's a cool book!
And I don't even like books.
Guys, we completed our quest!
Together!
-Whoo!
-Yeah!
Feat complete!
Filled the bestiary!
I still say my bestiary would have worked,
but whatever.
Time for a new quest.
Dance quest!
[electronic music playing]
Stage dive!
Uh Ow!
Ugh. I don't know what I was expecting.
[June] Wait a minute.
Jack, this wasn't just
about completing the bestiary.
It was supposed to be
about tracking down
whatever monster's
been sucking zombie brains.
Well, yeah, partly, sort of.
Well, we've found
every creature in the book
but nothing to show us which one,
if any of them,
are making the shrieking
or messing with zombies
[roaring, snarling]
OK, this may not be
the safest place to chat.
-Let's go deliver this to Thrull.
-But
And we can ask Thrull
if he knows anything
about the missing zombies.
-[Dirk humming]
-[tires squeal]
[roaring]
[monster] Yeah, heh, heh, heh.
[indistinct monster chatter]
Sorry, guys, can't talk right now.
Big hero business.
-[video game sounds]
-Thrull.
I've got big news!
And a big question.
First, we just tangled with a Dementicle.
Kicked its butt, retrieved its essence
and lived to tell you the tale.
Most impressive.
-But, wait, there's more.
-[door creaks open]
Hmm.
What eh
Ouch!
You can't hand over the bestiary now.
Why not? Thrull's gonna be so psyched!
I'm so close to being
a permanent resident of the cool table.
Are you guys talking
about tonight's movie pick?
It's Tuesday,
so it must be a sci-fi feature
from between 1993 and '96.
If I get mozzarella sticks,
will anyone else have some?
Jack, just trust me.
You can't hand over the bestiary now.
[footsteps approach]
Unh-yuh.
Hello, Human June.
It has been three moons
since our last encounter.
I trust you have kept safe, since then?
Yeah, that's not creepy.
Bardle, the young ones say
they have something to share.
Yeah, it's our
Research journal.
-Uh.
-Huh?
What are you researching?
The uh, missing zombies.
And the zombies that have holes
where their brains should be.
I just realized,
the zombies began disappearing
right when you guys showed up.
That's right, Quint. Weird, huh?
Before you guys moved in,
there were zombies everywhere.
But now, not so much.
Hey, June.
ex-nay on being all jerk-ay.
Human June,
you think it's strange
that the shrieking should occur
after we arrive?
A simple coincidence, I'm sure.
Bardle, uh,
we didn't mention the shrieking.
Uh, no?
No.
No.
No.
No, I must have misheard.
Enough!
The humans say some creature
is eating the brains from the undead.
Come, Jack.
Together we will slay this foul evil.
[growls]
[roars]
It is my job to crush
the servants of Rezzoch,
but I am useless. Useless!
Jack, you came with news.
Please, I am in need of it.
Quint, engage
Emergency Escape Maneuver Nineteen.
Oh, come on!
Maneuver Nineteen was designed to escape
an embarrassing school lunchroom incident,
not tension filled dialogue
with multi-dimensional monsters.
Do they think we can't see them?
You owe me.
-Well?
-Yes, Thrull.
Great news! We have
Unh.
[air rushes]
-[pops]
-Oh, rats!
My pants have shattered!
Quickly, friends,
to the spare pants room!
[Jack, June, Quint panting]
Oh, uh, pants. Heh.
-[panting]
-[door slams]
Hmm, human pants
-are surprisingly combustible.
-[crunches]
[Jack grunting]
The end of the world stinks!
Uh, sorry, you know I didn't mean that.
-We all heard Bardle say the shrieking.
-[slurping]
He brought it up.
I told you he's involved.
Like, he's behind this horror.
-Like, we're here. Here's all the horror.
-[slurping]
And then Bardle's like,
behind the horror.
[grunts] But I don't see what that
has to do with the bestiary.
W-Why can't we give it to Thrull?
We can just wait for Bardle to take a nap,
or something.
He's seems like he's, like,
9,000 years old.
He definitely naps.
Dude, what's the rush?
Look, there's something I didn't tell you.
The book has power.
No, duh. We just saw it
light up like a Christmas tree
and do a triple back flip.
[Jack]
No, I mean, real power.
And now that it's complete,
it might be the one thing
that can keep us safe
and stop Rezzoch the Ancient
Destructor of Worlds from coming.
-What?
-Bro!
[whimpers]
Why didn't you share
this information previously?
I didn't want to scare you guys.
Jack!
Aw, come on. Ow! Ah-ha!
Hey! That's a collectible! Dah!
And that's pointy!
-[slurps]
-[growls]
[sighs] You were already so freaked out
by the shrieking and the zombies.
Dude, you need to treat friends
like friends,
not like things you have to protect.
We are not collectibles!
[shrieking]
-[gasps]
-The shrieking!
We gotta get home to walk the zombie!
Bu But, the bestiary.
We can deal with that later.
This is our chance. Come on!
[grunts]
-[moaning]
-[engine roars, tires squeal]
-[doors close]
-[Dirk grunts]
Wait.
You can't just release Alfred
into the wild,
his brains will get sucked.
He's a research tool, Dirk.
The entire point is that we let him go.
Mm-mmm.
Idea!
A helmet to protect Alfred's skull
from sucking.
A glove lets us get close,
and this flashing light
so we don't lose him.
OK, that's better.
Let's do it! Oh, wait, hold on.
There. Safe and sound.
[shrieking]
[moaning]
-[grunts]
-[door squeaks]
[moaning]
Whoa ugh!
-[snuffling]
-Thanks, bud.
But you gotta stay here, now.
Last thing I need is
you getting your brains sucked out.
[slurps]
All right, gentlemen,
time to crack this brain thing wide open.
[moaning]
[engine rumbling]
Wish we had Thrull with us.
It would be nice to have a monster hunter
along side us.
Also, he's super cool!
And smells good!
Like freshly baked waffle cones.
[zombie moans]
[shrieking]
[Jack] He's moving faster.
Like, that was a "Hurry up, already!"
shriek.
-Yeah, or a dinner bell.
-[revs engine]
[tires squeal]
Where is he?
-[revs engine]
-[crunches]
-[June growls]
-I'll get eyes on him.
[clunks]
[mechanical whirring]
[grunts]
[squeaks]
I see where he's headed.
And it ain't good.
[gasps] The town pool!
I'm not stopping!
-[revs engine]
-[tires squeal]
We're not gonna fit!
Yes, we are!
[crunches]
[Quint] We don't fit.
[revving engine]
Oh, no!
[all] Ah!
[whimpers] Alfred!
He uh, he can't swim! He might die!
Again!
-[bubbling]
-[moaning]
Too bad we don't have Thrull.
He can walk under water.
Probably.
That's my boy!
I'm not losing him! Not now.
We're too close to figuring this out.
[tires squeal]
I know a shortcut That way!
[chuckling]
-[screeches]
-[doors close]
[gasps] We lost him!
-We lost our zombie buddy.
-We lost our
I was gonna say valuable test subject.
Valuable test buddy?
Now we'll never find out! Ugh!
[mechanical whirring]
Huh?
Guys, we haven't lost Alfred, yet,
we've got an eye in the sky.
And look, June!
One of your salad forks is the antenna.
I'm so proud.
[clicks]
[June] Billboard!
-Whoa!
-Hey, look out!
-Ah!
-Punch it!
Huh? Phew!
-[clicks]
-There!
-Closer!
-Copy that.
[clicks]
Hyuh!
[all gasp]
-Was that
-Bardle!
I told you he was behind this.
Did anyone recognize that location?
Yeah, unfortunately.
[electrical zaps]
-[engine approaches]
-[tires squeal]
[doors open]
[sighs]
Um, gonna take more than June's
salad fork to get that airborne again.
Ugh. Wyndham Woods?
This place was spooksville
before the monster apocalypse.
Also, all public parks close at dusk.
So, we're breaking the Ah!
We should have brought Thrull.
Thrull could totally handle pandemic
bioluminescent vine thingies.
It's one of his top ten hobbies.
Right after being cool,
and being super cool!
[foot steps]
-Ooh.
-Ah.
-Ooh.
-Listen.
[rustling]
[all scream]
They're attacking!
They're not attacking?
They're running right past us.
Where are they running in such a hurry?
It's not where they're running to,
it's what they're running from!
Look!
[all gasp]
Hey, Jack, can your monster pal,
Thrull, handle that?
Probably.
[gulps]
Dirk, you're, like,
extra into plants, and junk
you ever see a tree like that?
Uh, no, dude.
No one has.
[shrieking]
Get down!
Ugh!
[gasps] Zombies!
[moaning]
[shrieking]
[wood creaking]
[all gasp]
Oh, crud, it's growing!
I have a hypothesis,
but I don't like it.
I think the zombies are like food!
Or at least the zombie brains are.
[zombies moaning]
[wood creaking]
[booming]
When this this tree monster thing
finishes eating the brains,
it spits them out.
Like buffalo wings.
Tossing away the bones when you're done.
Only, this thing is spitting them
all over my town!
So, this tree was the bad dude?
Not Bardle, at all?
Gah! I don't know!
[speaking alien language]
Nope, it's him! I was right!
[wind whipping]
-What?
-What?
Tree of Entry,
the brains of the undead
have guided your growth.
You will bring Rezzoch
the Ancient Destructor of Worlds
into this dimension!
Rezzoch the Ancient?
Thrull is using this unholy arborvitae
to bring it here?
No, that doesn't make sense.
Thrull hunts the servants of Rezzoch.
Bardle's the bad one. Bardle!
Right?
[shrieking]
[moaning]
-[gasps] Alfred!
-Alfred, no!
You may only be an undead,
potentially lethal research tool,
but your our undead,
potentially lethal research tool.
Wait! Ugh!
Stupid brave little nerd!
Come on, Jack!
-[booms]
-[both scream]
Ah!
[electric whirring]
[booms]
[zaps]
[Rezzoch] Thrull.
Master!
Oh, dear!
I think that's Rezzoch!
I never should have agreed
to hang with you guys.
Jack, are you seeing this?
[Rezzoch] What of the key?
What key will be used
to unlock this Tree of Entry?
I am yet unable
to join you in that dimension.
We gotta get him.
We can't let that being from beyond
see us!
We can't let it eat Alfred, either!
[groaning]
The key is a bestiary.
I have imbued the book
with magical energy.
And when it is complete,
the essence of the creatures inside
will transform the book into the key.
[Rezzoch] Where is this bestiary key, now?
It is nearby.
A foolish human boy, Jack Sullivan,
leads his naive companions
in preparing it.
He was easily manipulated.
He knows not the bestiary's true power.
What have I done?
Got him. Phew!
-Yee! [grunts]
-[snaps]
-Uh! Argh!
-Ow!
[creaking]
Oh!
-Alfred!
-Alfred, no!
[Rezzoch] When I enter, I must feed.
In my current form, I am weak. Frail.
I need more, Thrull!
Do not worry. Nearby,
I have gathered many monsters.
They are yours to feast upon.
Is Thrull talking
about the monsters at Joe's?
Rezzoch's gonna eat them?
Got him.
[Rezzoch] Succeed, Thrull,
and you shall be rewarded.
Come closer, give me your hand.
[whooshes]
[creaking]
Aah!
My only desire is to please you, Master.
[Rezzoch] Good, now go bring me the key.
I must be
[wood creaking]
[both gasp]
[grunts]
[Alfred moaning]
[muffled moaning]
[sniffs]
Let's get out of here!
[all grunting, panting]
-[creaking]
-[shrieking]
