| The episode opens... | |
| Zak | No, see, he doesn't want one of each. He wants one quarter mango, one quarter apple, and half pistachio. He was very specific. |
|---|---|
| Vendor | And all on the same plate? |
| Zak | Yes, but they can't touch. He hates it when the flavors mix. |
| Vendor | Of course we cannot have that. |
| Zak | I know he's picky, but... |
| Zak | No, wait. The ground cardamom goes on the apple, pistachio nuts on the pistachio. He was very... |
| Vendor | Yes, very specific. |
| Civilian | Sandeep, we cannot hear the television. |
| Zak | Good. Just a little more. More More okay, too much. |
| Zak | Can you, like, brush it off or something? |
| Vendor | Maybe your brother would like to come make his own order! |
| Zak | No, really. He wanted me to... |
| Vendor | I am being very specific. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Civilian | Oh, no! Monster! |
| Zak | No, no, he's... |
| Civilian | It wants to eat us! |
| Zak | Hey, get off my brother! |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | Uh-oh. |
| Vendor | What? Uh-oh. What is "uh-oh"? |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | Um, Fisk? |
| Zak | I don't think our allowance is gonna cover this. |
| [Intro Plays] | |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | Mom and dad are gonna believe we didn't start this, right? |
| Henchman | Do not worry, my friend. This will cover the damages. |
| Zak | Um, not that we're not grateful, but you just give away money? |
| Henchman | Ah, what I'm giving is an opportunity. A creature who fights so well could make his master a great deal more money than that. |
| Zak | What do you mean? Huh? |
| Zak | Oh, I'm going to be sick. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Drew | It's barbaric. |
| Doc | He just gave you this and left? |
| Zak | Yeah, not even a business card. |
| Doc | He didn't need one. |
| Doc | GPS coordinates. I don't imagine this is the kind of business where you give your name and number. |
| Drew | I'll bet. |
| Drew | Who would do something like this? |
| Zak | Wait, go back. |
| Drew | Huh? |
| Zak | That's who. |
| Drew | Van Rook. |
| Doc | Nice eye. |
| Zak | Okay, we've got a location and a bad guy. Let's go bust this up. |
| Doc | Hold on. |
| Drew | Hold on? Doc, he's making Cryptids fight for money. What would we be holding on for? |
| Doc | This isn't how Van Rook operates. Yes, there's money to be made, but with the cost of capturing Cryptids? Caging them for fights? Somebody else is backing this. |
| Drew | Argost. |
| Doc | I don't know anyone else with that kind of money, and access to Cryptids, other than me. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doc | No, of course not. |
| Drew | Hmm. How does this get Argost closer to finding Kur? I-I don't see it. |
| Doc | Neither do I. But we need to find out. Maybe Fiskerton should accept that invitation. |
| Zak | What? No way. I'm not letting Fisk get beat up in some sick fighting contest just for a little information. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doc | It's not just information, Zak. If it looks like we're on to him, we may even be able to flush Argost into the open. We catch him, and we end this whole thing. |
| Zak | But Van Rook knows me and Fisk. You don't think he'd be suspicious if we tried to sign up? |
| Drew | Actually, there might be a way if we brought in the right help. |
| Doc | No, not a chance. Don't even mention his name. |
| Baron Finster | Doyle Blackwell! |
| Baron Finster | I should have finished you off last time, but it seems fate has given me a do-over! |
| Doyle | You got Doyle. |
| Doc | And I'm thrilled... |
| Doyle | Haha. Look who's come crawling back. |
| Doc | One mission. And if it weren't important... |
| Doyle | Ah, Professor, you admitted it's important. Now I know to ask for the big money. |
| Zak | Hey, Doyle. |
| Doyle | mini-man and the Gorilla! |
| Doyle | So, what am I getting paid for? |
| Van Rook | My old apprentice! |
| Van Rook | I thought you joined the sweetheart feel good cookie club. |
| Doyle | If your Intel is still any good, you know that ended badly. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | This is payback. Figured I might as well make some money at it. |
| Van Rook | I don't buy it. Take the giant monkey and leave all you can. |
| Civilian | [Boos] |
| Civilian | Oh, monkey! |
| Doyle | Sounds like they want to see the monkey fight. Am I right, people? |
| Van Rook | No! This is my competition! |
| Doyle | And you won't let a superstar like this guy play the game? |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | What is this? A fixed fight? Huh? You rigged the whole competition? |
| Doyle | Maybe everybody here deserves a refund! |
| Van Rook | There will be no refunds! The big monkey fights! |
| Zak | The sooner we find out what Argost is up to, the sooner we get Fisk out of there. |
| Van Rook | Nice work. I'll take it from here. |
| [Act 2] | |
| Van Rook | There is only one room. Winner holds the floor. The more challengers your beast defeats, the more money he earns for you. |
| Doyle | Don't sweat it, champ. I've seen you fight. You can take anything these lightweights throw at you. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Whoa. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled "Handshake" then screaming] |
| Doyle | Eugh... |
| Doc | No alarms. Let's get started. |
| Zak | Not yet. I want to know how Fisk is doing. |
| Doyle | He's... doing great. I'll call you back. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Hey, what are you doing? This isn't the Gentleman's Sunday Boxing Club! |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | You know everything your mom and dad taught you about good sportsmanship and playing fair? |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Do the opposite. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled roar] |
| Doc | All right, let's get some reconnaissance. CP photos of everyone. Don't assume anything based on appearance. Argost has used disguises before. |
| Drew | He's used neural parasites too. Could be controlling somebody remotely. Check the back of the neck. |
| Zak | Could we just get moving? The longer we leave Fisk in there, the more trouble he could be in. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Nice going. Now hold the floor. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Anything yet? |
| Doc | Nothing helpful. I've run the photos through every criminal database I can find. But all I get is the kind of low-level thug you'd expect at something like this. |
| Drew | Still no Argost to Kur connection. |
| Zak | Then let's get Fisk out of there. He's been lucky so far, but- |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Yeah, he heard that one. Listen, there's one more thing. Van Rook's been working on some kind of digital handheld. That guy's the most detailed record keeper I know. If Argost really is behind this, Van Rook would have something on it in there. |
| Doc | Can you get it from him? |
| Doyle | Not alone. |
| Doyle | Hey, you trying to cheat me? |
| Van Rook | What? |
| Doyle | Don't play dumb. The chupacabra fight. Where's the rest of my winnings, huh? |
| Van Rook | The chupacabra was such a punicly deed. Half size, half pay. |
| Van Rook | And if you ever push me again, you won't be able to use those fingers for counting money! ...Apprentice. |
| Van Rook | They took it. So now we begin the end game. |
| Doc | I'm in. The files are all scrambled. |
| Drew | It figures. High-end encryption is the one thing he will pay for. We can crack it, but it'll take time. |
| Doc | Zak, Doyle, what's going on? |
| Zak | The floor in the fight cage. It's opening. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doyle | Fiskerton, get out of there! |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Van Rook | I must confess to our fighting fans. I have held one Cryptid back from you, waiting for a champion worthy to face it... I think we have found one. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | Get him out of there, Doyle! |
| Doyle | How much time do you need to crack the code? |
| Doc | Five minutes. |
| Doyle | Get down there and fight, you mangy freak! |
| Zak | No! |
| [Act 3] | |
| Zak | Guys, we've already got Van Rook's handheld. Get Fisk out of there. |
| Doyle | We can't. The second Van Rook realizes we've got it, he'll stick every thug in this temple on us. |
| Drew | Zak, I promise we will shut this place down and send every one of these psychopaths to prison just as soon as- |
| Doc | Argost, right there. |
| Drew | We've got something. |
| Doc | Just two more minutes and we'll have it all. |
| Doyle | Give me two more minutes, Fuzz Man, come on! Dig deep! You can do this! |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | Come on, Fisk! Please just be okay! |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Van Rook | Dryk! Finish the big monkey! |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | Yeah! |
| Zak | No... |
| Zak | That's it! Get him out! |
| Doyle | Drew, I've got to pull him! |
| Drew | There. Kur, it's connected. |
| Doc | Almost cracked. Give us 30 seconds. |
| Zak | He's not gonna last 30 seconds. We have to... |
| Drew | Zak! |
| Doc | What's going on? |
| Zak | My power's so intense! I feel all of them! |
| Zak | It - hurts! |
| Doyle | Zak! |
| Doyle | He just jumped into the crowd! |
| Doc | Let's go! |
| Zak | Everybody out! |
| Van Rook | Of course, if a little boy says so. |
| Zak | I wasn't talking to you! |
| Van Rook | Huh? |
| Drew | Zak! Zak |
| Doc | Are you all right? |
| Zak | I'm fine. Just help me get these Cryptids out of here. |
| Van Rook | No! The creatures are mine! |
| Doyle | I dreamed of this fight. |
| Doyle | ...Every miserable second. I work for you. |
| Doyle | Ugh. |
| Doyle | Huh. Dreams really do come true. |
| Zak | It's not safe here. |
| Zak | Please, I'm not leaving any Cryptids behind. |
| Argost | Cozy. A very large bonus to Van Rook for his surprising competence this time. And, of course, a special thank you to young Mr. Saturday for removing the final Cryptid obstacle. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doc | I've heard that sound before. |
| Doc | The alkali horn! Zak. Something happened in there with your powers. What was it? |
| Zak | It was weird, like like when we were on Ellef Ringnes. A power boost, like from a mystic hotspot. |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Zak | But even bigger. There's way more mystic energy here. Why would there be... |
| Drew | The map from the Alemans tunnel system. I didn't even think to look before. |
| Drew | The mouth of water... |
| Drew | The three watchmen, which means the tomb of Kur is... |
| Doc | Back inside! Move. |
| Argost | Please don't exert yourself, Munya, before the breath of Kur, the sentinels will fall. |
| Doc | Keep moving! |
| Argost | You may prefer to stand behind the Cherufe's Volcanic Nesting Crystal |
| Argost | Tomb of Kur... |
| Argost | Please, my moment. |
| Argost | How spectacularly intriguing. Munya, I require your "esprit de brute force". I want that wall! |
| Zak | We're too late. |
| Doc | Mongolian death worm venom. Argost was already here, and whatever he found, he took it with him. |
| Doc | All that for nothing? |
| Fiskerton | [Garbled] |
| Doc | No, it wasn't for nothing. We saved Cryptids today. At least one of us remembered what our job's supposed to be. |
| Doc | The retina scans? |
| Drew | Already sent to the local police, along with a tip on a slightly bigger fish. |
| Van Rook | Argh. |
| Doc | Oh. So we keep going. If Argost had found Kur, we'd be fighting him already. Whatever he did find, I'm sure we'll have to deal with it soon enough... |
