"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, swords" "Uh,I-I'mnotsureyoushould do that." "Ifoundit ,squire,and I'm  going to open it." "Whateveritis ." "Itbearsthesealofthe 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." "Thatwouldmakesir Cyrus happy." "Reason enough to proceed." "Now stand back." "Stop!" "Something's going wrong!" "Unh!" "George?" "Ben?" "Ben!" "I'm on it!" "You were asleep!" "Well, yeah, it's like 1:00 A.M." "More like 3:00 A.M." "I felt a ripple in the manna." "I thought we should check it out." "I think I felt a ripple back in my room." "You guys take the manna, and" "I'll investigate my bed." "Fine." "You're not driving us down?" "The gravel will chip my paint." "We're setting the hero bar kind of low tonight." "Told you to take Ben's car." "Oh, yeah, that's some rippled manna right there." "Forever knights threw a party." "With an uninvited guest." "A friend of yours, no doubt." "Hey, it must be monty python week." "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." "Another faction?" "I'm gonna have to start keeping notes." "What tried to break into your vault?" "To the best of our knowledge, you did." "Sire, a-actually... silence, squire." "Your king speaks." "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." "Wasting your ammo, dude." "I'm wearing your armor." "Right." "Nobody move..." "Or the changeling suffers." "Raise your hands above your head." "If you say so." "Humongous... oh!" "Stay back!" "Hey, it's the middle of the night, I just hit my head, and you are really annoying me!" "Holdfire!" "Hey, wake up and stop fighting." "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-ifImay besobold,  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,fornow,weshall declare a truce." "Who made that thing?" "Thefirstknightforgedthe sacred seal 17 centuries ago." "As to why, well, I was trying to translate the inscriptions, but i didn't finish in time." "Maybe I can help." "Gwen." "Winston...sirReginald's squire." "I..." "Mean, I was." "Okay, sir Reginald's squire, you got an explanation for what happened here?" "Perhapsthelaserstruckan explosive on the other side of the seal?" "That tracks." "It looks like it's cracked from the inside." "So,theexplosiontookdown  my knights?" "Is that what happened, squire?" "I'mnotsure." "When the energy began to build up, I, uh..." "I ran, sire." "Guess we're setting the hero bar kind of low tonight, huh?" "You're telling me that even though it's got a big forever knight symbol on it, you don't know what's inside?" "Anyrecordswerelongsince lost to time." "SirReginaldthoughtitwasa  weapons cache filled with captured alien technology." "I don't think this is about technology." "That seal is infused with magic." "Preposterous!" "A forever knight would never use magic." "Well, one of them did." "Policearereportingseveral locals have gone missing after a blinding light." "Let's go check it out." "Maybe I should stay here with Winston... try to translate those inscriptions." "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." "The dangerous bright light." "Maybe we should call in some plumbers for backup." "Come on, Gwen." "Kevin has a point." "Thenwe'llallgoonthehunt together." "That was so rude!" "Me, rude?" "To whom... squire whiffle?" "Winston." "I can't bother to remember." "He's not important enough." "Jealous?" "Of what... his dumb name, his dumb accent, or his dumb dress?" "It's a tunic." "Why are they stopping?" "We'vedetectedan alien life-form." "My ultimatrix isn't interested." "I haven't beaten anybody up in about 20 minutes." "If you don't let that policeman go right now, that's gonna change." "Fire!" "No!" "Swampfire!" "Hey, when I say no, I mean no!" "You could've hit that guy!" "He's as good as dead already." "Come on!" "What are you d... a fresh mind for the feast." "How may I serve the great one?" "Yo, freak show, let her go!" "Don't let it touch you." "Winston!" "This is not gonna go over well." "Are you..." "Lousy." "Thanks." "Did you notice..." "That the creepy-crawly couldn't mind-control Kevin?" "Yeah." "Squire Winston, where are you?" "He's gone." "That creature grabbed him." "Lucubra... that's what it calls itself." "By whatever name, the evil has taken my man, and it's your fault!" "It was awful." "I could feel it in my head, fishing around." "For what?" "Kevin's attack broke the connection." "You're welcome." "I know, right?" "I feel like driving my brain through a car wash." "Notraceof thebeast." "If you three hadn't interfered..." "You'd all be in jail for shooting a cop, and the lucubra would still have your squire." "Youdon'tknowthat." "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." "Which would be a lot easier if we knew more about that seal your knights found." "Here'sthelad'srucksack." "It has his notes and the pictures he took." "We'll do our best." "I'msureyouwill..." "Sorceress." "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." "And nobody moves in till we're all there." "Ifmysquireisendangered,I will do whatever needs be done." "Any luck with those papers?" "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." "But it was a monster jail." "This first knight must've trapped the creature in there." "And they opened the door and let him out." "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." "A demon?" "Lucubra is a creature from another dimension." "Good." "So, we know where to send him back, if we can find him." "That stuff all belongs to Winston, right?" "Maybe you could track him." "Maybe." "You find him?" "I accidentally connected to the lucubra." "You okay?" "Fine." "I think I saw it escape through the seal." "But no Winston?" "Oh, I found him, too." "Intersection of Roeper and hawthorne... get here fast." "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." "I guess we'd better let the knights know where we are." "Seriously?" "Well, I did say I would." "Yeah, but you didn't say when." "Good point." "We'll call them after it's all over." "You two should be in politics." "There's never a way in when you need one." "I can fix that." "Can we not go straight to the nuclear option?" "That is so wrong." "Let's get in there." "Gwen?" "You okay?" "Of course she's not okay." "She's not complaining about how disgusting goop is." "The lucubra..." "In my head again." "It feeds on people's thoughts." "I got some thoughts for it right here." "It wants energy from the parietal lobe... the part of the brain you use when you pray or meditate." "So, you bliss out and it has lunch?" "Until there's nothing left." "We have to save those people... now." "Okay, only Gwen stays out of it." "Says who?" "!" "I can hold my own." "No doubt, but that thing got its hooks into you twice." "And I shook it off!" "But what if next time you can't?" "What if it's three strikes and you're out?" "I'll be okay." "Listen, Gwen, I can't..." "I mean..." "We can't afford to lose you... the team, you know?" "I, um..." "Help me out here." "How 'bout you go around back?" "If we get into trouble, but only if, then you jump in." "I still don't think she should be in on this." "Me either." "That's why we're going to do this fast." "Armodrillo!" "Kevin, don't hurt anyone!" "They started it!" "Come on, people!" "Back off!" "We don't want to hurt you!" "To be honest, I am considering it." "Okay, I am done with waiting." "Soarewe ." "Let them weaken the creature." "Then we can attack in force." "I'm going to help my friends." "You'llhaveto go throughus first." "I was hoping you'd say that." "Gwen, get out of here!" "NRG!" "Hey, lucubra, you hungry?" "How about a taste of this?" "!" "Ben?" "!" "No, I'm good." "Just like Kevin was when he was wrapped in metal." "Tinfoil hat... keeps them from controlling your mind." "Ben, I need a hole... a deep one." "How's that?" "Nice!" "They're okay." "Steady there, squire." "Uh,I triedto fightit." "Well, hooray for you." "Now go buy yourself a cookie." "Wecallthem"biscuits."" "SquireWinston,stepaway from the alien scum." "I think he's talking about us." "After all we've meant to each other." "Didyoudestroythe beast?" "I sent it back where it came from." "Got a problem with that?" "No." "For now, our work is done and our truce remains in force." "Except for that part out back where you ambushed me." "Aminormisunderstanding." "Nevertheless, take heed." "When we next meet..." "Yeah, yeah, we will know your righteous vengeance." "Can we call it a night?" "I could use some sleep." "Okay, he's cute." "We get it." "Squire,youarenot to fraternize with the enemy." "But,sire..." "Heedmewell!" "They may look like us, but they are alien spawn, and they will contaminate you." "Is that clear?" "Yes,myliege."
