Nexo Knights (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Power of Merlock - full transcript
Now the NEXO-Knights get rolling in The Fortrex, their own Rolling Castle! This great new headquarters which houses Merlok 2.0 as an operating system, will be how the knights move around Knightonia and protect it from Jestro and his monsters. Speaking of the evil jester, Jestro uses some newly-made monsters to attack a town far from the capitol where he thinks he's safe from the Knights' reach. We see two parallel stories here: the Knights training, learning more about digital magic and getting organized as a team and at the same time we see Jestro making monsters, trying to learn how his powers work and talking to the Book. In the end, the Knights roll up in their castle and defeat Jestro and his marauding monsters.
Here's the latest from
the Knighton News Network.
Our once peaceful kingdom
was rocked,
as Jestro the Royal Jester
stole the “Terrible
Book of Monsters.”
Merlok the Magician
tried to stop him,
but paid the ultimate price.
But magic made a comeback
when Merlok 2.0 appeared
and uploaded
incredible Nexo powers
to the heroic Knights.
I'm Herb Herbertson
and this is Nexo Knights!

[GRUNTING]
Form up on me!
The Lord Nordby Defense!
Nordby, Nordby, Nordby!
Slap him on the back,
I think he's stuck.
[EXERTION GRUNT]
They're breaking through and
heading for the food stores.
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Food stores?!
On it.
I'll slow ‘em down!
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
Hey!
Whoa!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoa!
Ahh!
Wipe out!
Whose side
are you even on?
LANCE: If you would just
let me do my thing...
LANCE: Whoa!
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
MERLOK 2.0: Terrible!
Just terrible!
[GASPING]
MERLOK 2.0: There is
an ancient, mystical phrase
you've obviously never
heard of called: Teamwork.
Wha...? Why do I sound like
such a doddering fool?
Well, you have
power consumption issues.
On the plus side,
we made it way further
than all the other times
we failed miserably.
Great, the monsters
will get some cardio in
before they smash us.
We're not good.
It's your fault
we keep losing, Lance.
And why don't you ever pay
attention to my offensive
formation orders?
Because they're
so offensive.
You need to get serious
about training.
Training schmaining!
I'm a great knight
being held back
by your “uptightness,”
BORE-ington.
The key to teamwork, Lance,
is, uh, working together!
Until you acknowledge
my superiority,
I can't work with you.
[SCREAMING]
It is not
who is in charge,
or who downloads
the biggest weapon.
It's about working
as a team.
For the love of Elric,
what is going on?
Yeah, I know.
But the power needed
for your hologram
is too much
for the pedestal.
Um...I hate
to bring up another issue,
but I couldn't even
download the power.
Look, I only have one bar.
[ELECTRONIC BEEP]
Now no bars.
[ELECTRONIC BEEP]
Oh! One bar.
[ELECTRONIC BEEP]
And no bars.
How can we fight
against Jestro
and his monsters
if these Nexo
power signals
are unreliable?
We could change our helmets
into big antennas?
We need to change something,
‘cause we're pretty not good.
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Pillage, destroy,
and steal stuff!
Pillaging and stealing
is the same thing.
I know that!
[SIGHS]
I'm hungry.
We really should
have eaten at the Inn
before burning it down.
They serve
a heck of a veggie omelet.
Eh.
Served, I mean.
[COW MOOS]
[WOMAN PANTING]
What are we even doing here
in the middle of nowhere?
Shouldn't we be blasting away
at the king's castle?
Hello? I keep telling you,
evil is a process.
You gotta practice being bad
to be good at it.
So, I'm
an Evil Trainee?
Heh. That's not scary.
How about...
[EVIL VOICE]
Apprentice of Evil?
[NORMAL VOICE]
No. No.
Journeyman of Despair?
Nah.
Weeble of Wickedness?
Ohh... You make me sick.
How ‘bout
your evil plan, huh?
You gotta have
an evil master plan.
I realize I'm gonna have
to help you with that.
Sure, sure!
But I'd still get
all the credit, right?
Oh, I'm fine with that.
Just fine.
Nod me, dummy!
To show I'm fine!
So, do you have any ideas?
A springboard or kernel
we could workshop
into an evil master plan?
I think
you should find
more magic books
and feed them to--
Stop nodding me
or I will bite you!
Follow
the conversation, dummy!
Where was I? Oh.
Feed me evil books,
I get stronger,
make you even
more powerful monsters
and use those
to destroy the realm.
Easy-peasy.
So where did all these
evil books come from?
History class
will have to wait.
I need you focused on being
a master of wreaking havoc.
You know what?
I feel like wreaking
some havoc right now.
Burnzie and Sparks,
commence
wreaking and havocking!
Ouch!
Hot, hot, hot, hot.
Eh, that works, too.
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
Klatuu, Barada,
Niktoo...
Boogie-down,
boogie-down, boogie-down...
Whoa! Who knew the old guy
had such fancy moves?
Yeah. Well, I need to find
an auxiliary power source
for “Mr. Boogie Fever,”
or he's toast.
This temporary
pedestal's power cells
can't sustain
your digitized magical essence.
Argh!
And I glitch everywhere!
I have to scratch myself
in no less than
three places right
this moment.
It's driving me crazy!
[SHORT SOUNDS WHILE GLITCHING]
Even if I could get
Merlok 2.0 stable,
his Nexo powers needs
a serious signal boost.
And those Squirebots can't
carry him all over the kingdom.
Just look
at the poor guys...
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
I feel happy.
I feel happy.
Come on! Let's get
you guys some oil.
The good stuff.
[GROANS]
Okay. We made some
real progress today, Knights.
I'm glad
everyone agreed to learn
my offensive
and defensive set plays
because I really think
they've got a ton to offer.
Anyone need
a combat manual? No?
Axl, on “Battle Big,
variant C2”,
you're the anchor
of the line.
Yeah.
But food now.
Lots of food.
Macy, you are my rock.
Always a full effort.
Except on
“Globlin Power Wash”.
Remember, it's spin,
parry, thrust, thrust,
parry, spin,
thrust, rinse, repeat.
[YAWNS]
I'll remember, Clay.
I promise.
Wow, Aaron,
so much potential,
but potential isn't reality
until you bring it out,
so let's talk about--
Make it stahhhp.
Look, Captain Knight-tastic,
what we need now is to relax.
Maybe go
to a club and chill.
But definitely
for you to stop talking.
Better than what you're doing,
Lance, which is slacking-off.
You didn't even study
my binder!
Of course not!
Because it's a binder
full of your ideas.
I get an earful of those nutty,
super-knight ideas all day long!
Not again.
Should we do something?
Too hungry.
[BOTH GROWLING]
Too tired
and not care-y.
[ALARM BLARING]
Alarum! Alarum!
The Hamlet of Omelet
has been destroyed
by Jestro and his magma
monsters! Alarum!
AARON: Omelet's all the way on
the other side of the kingdom.
AXL: They had
such good omelets.
How are we going to get
over there to stop Jestro?
Huh?
[HORN TOOTS]
We came back as soon as we heard
about Jestro's attack on Omelet.
Luckily we finished the ribbon
cutting ceremony in Auremville
and had Ye ‘ol royal RV
with us.
Ah!
I totally forgot
about Ye ‘ol royal RV.
Dad, do you know what
we could do with this?
Journey the countryside
in peaceful comfort?
No, no. We could
modify this thing
into a rolling, um...
ROBIN: Fortrex!
A complete
rolling fortress,
ready for battle,
and spelled with an X.
Because having an X in the name
makes it cool and high tech.
Oh, you unhip people
and your naming things.
But there's
potential here:
We could connect Merlok 2.0's
round pedestal there;
all the power we need,
good wifi signal;
protection and proximity.
Dad? Could we borrow
Ye ‘ol royal RV?
Oh, Macy.
I don't know if
you should be driving
around looking for fights.
And I just had it
waxed and detailed.
And new cupholders
put in.
Dear, they need it
to protect the kingdom.
[SIGHS]
ROBIN: You guys get
some food and rest,
and just leave
everything to us!
[SCREAMING]
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHS]
Boogie down,
boogie down...
[TOOL WHIRRING]
[SCREAMS]
Will you be quiet?
[MUSIC STOPS]
Thank you.
[SCREAMING]
[SIGHS]
Who would have thought
destroying the kingdom
would be so hard?
Eh.
What's over there?
What's that?
That's Waterton.
It's pretty big.
You're not up for that yet.
It requires a lot of
“knowing what you're doing.”
Become evil by being evil,
you tell me.
Maybe I should bite off
more than I can chew
to see
if I can, um, chew it.
I can't argue
with that logic,
but why don't we just
stick with the plan, huh:
Find more books
and feed them to me.
Doesn't Waterton pump water
to a huge hunk of the kingdom?
Including the capitol?
We destroy that,
we'd be done much sooner.
Wow, somebody has taught you
how to “think evil.”
But we'll need
more monsters.
I got it: “Monsters, monsters
come forth and pillage!
Let's take care
of that little ol' village!”
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHING AND SCREAMING]
Okay, I know all of us
are tired
from being
up all night studying...
Yes, up
all night “studying.”
He means up
all night “Club Medievaling”.
Hey! Relaxation is an important
part of my training regimen.
The only part, really.
[YAWNS]
Were you
at the club, too?
I stayed up
all night eating.
That's my training
regimen.
It's not that hard,
Knights!
We're trying to be a team!
That takes hard work,
not wasting time.
[CRASH]
Oh, but we're good
at wasting time!
Okay, smart guy, what happens
the first time we fight Jestro?
We can't reach him at
the moment, but when we can...
[RUMBLING]
That thing looks sa-weet!
And look how big it is!
Real big.
And it's not stopping.
Run away!
[SCREAMING]
Ha, ha. Sorry.
Heh.
Still adjusting the brakes.
One completely self-contained
rolling battle fortress.
All for you.
Oh, this doesn't look like
my dad's RV any more.
This is pretty awesome.
Heh, like,
awesome-awesome!
Of course this rolling castle
has a fully equipped armory.
Laser Arrows, we got ‘em.
Swords? Yup.
Halberds, morning stars, axes?
We've got'em!
Unh... Just what
every girl needs.
Knights needs their rest,
so enjoy these voice-controlled,
temperature balanced,
fully adjustable massage beds.
I'm... I'm home.
I only sleep two hours a day,
so this doesn't interest me.
Oh, oh, oh,
but this will:
Time to turn that frown
upside down...
Our state of the art
training area!
Danger Room tech can level up
a knight to an eleven.
[GASPS]
A fully programmable
holo-mirror system,
with complete sensor array
that can change the appearance
of the room
to suit your every need.
AARON: Whoa!
AXL: Yes!
You have made me
a very happy knight.
All this, to him, is like
being in a toy store.
A fully-stocked,
stainless steel,
computer-integrated kitchen.
Whoa.
Complete with Chefbot.
I am the great chef, Eclair.
You may call me...
Chef Eclair.
Whoo! Ha ha ha!
We're going to be
such good friends.
My delectable edibles will
be wasted on his gaping maw.
And the “downtime” area.
Now, that's what
I'm talking about!
[GRUNTS]
He means
when we have downtime.
There's always time
for downtime.
And Merlok 2.0?
Where's he?
Hm... I've installed
the pedestal here.
Theoretically,
Merlok 2.0 could be the
Fortrex's operating system.
But I haven't
found a way
to transfer him
into the Fortrex's systems.
And the Nexo powers?
Can he upload them from here?
Yes, if I can find a way
to transfer Merlok 2.0
into the
central system.
It requires a great computing
mind to figure it out.
Fortunately,
I have one of those.
I am Merlok 2.0!
And all we have to do is--
Wakka-wakka-boink-boink...
Wakka-wakka-
wakka-boink-boink--
You'll get it, Ava.
We believe in you.
The good news is, we're
taking the fight to Jestro.
[GRUNTS]
Yes!
As you are
the defenders of this kingdom,
we thought
a gift might be in order.
The RV--
I mean, Fortrex--
has a garage
on its lower level, so...
Now that is a fine looking
piece of machinery.
Huh? There's
only three seats.
Hey, I got
my hovershield.
Only ride I need.
What about you, Lance?
[WHISTLES]
Uh, isn't a mecha-steed
a little “old fashioned”?
Not really...
[ALARM CHIRPS]
[ENGINE REVVING]
MERLOK 2.0:
Attention, Knights!
This is Merlok 2.0
the Magician.
Can you hear me?
Is this thing on?
AVA: Yes, Merlok,
for the umpteenth time,
they can see and hear you.
Jestro is
on his way to Waterton.
Waterton!
That's diabolical!
That soggy burg?
Who cares?
If Waterton is destroyed,
a third of the kingdom
would have no water.
Nothing to drink.
No swimming pools,
no jacuzzis.
What?
That's... diabolical!
There's no time
to waste, man!
We need that teamwork thing
you've been talking about!
Let's go!
No, wait, I know
what you're going to say:
“Lance, you shiny,
self-centered,
obnoxious
pointy-stick carrier.”
Okay, I admit it,
your way of doing things
may have some merit
in this upcoming battle.
I would've added “lazy”,
but I'll accept your apology.
I think
along with teamwork,
we'll need those cool “gifts”
from the king and queen.
Ah, so quiet.
So lovely.
Now burn it
to the ground!
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Ha, ha, ha!
Too late, country bumpkins!
No way anything
can stop us!
BOTH: Whoa!
Hey, hey,
what the heck is that?
That looks like
King Halberd's RV?
I almost
destroyed that thing
doing my “Stilt-Tacular”
jester show, heh.
It looks... different.
They have cars?
Privileged bunch
of namby-pambies!
Okay, Knights,
time for a pincer attack!
[GRUNTS]
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
[WEAPON POWERS UP]
Time to put our Nexo powers
to use on Jestro's army!
Merlok, power download!
[ELECTRONIC BEEPS
DECREASING PITCH]
Go!
They've got nothing!
Attack!
No wifi signal?
Really?
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Looks like we're
doin' it old school.
We could use
the Whirling Macy
to break up that monster pack
into a monster mash.
You did read my binder.
Heh.
The greatest knight
in the realm
would do no less.
Glippity, gloppity, goo!
Larrupin' Lou!
Blast!
It's not working, Ava!
You've got to be
fully integrated
into the rolling
castle's systems.
Robin, I need you
to buy me some time.
On it.
[SCREAMING]
Whoo-hoo!
I love the Whirling Macy!
Even if
it makes me... dizzy.
Sometimes,
being dizzy is awesome.
[GRUNTS]
Don't you love surprises?
[SCREAMING]
[GRUNTING]
We must do something,
my child!
They are in dire need!
We have to try this.
I call it...
Techkaliber.
It's a flash drive
I designed
to transfer huge files,
like your program.
If I can get you
into the main Fortrex computers,
you'll have no trouble
uploading your spells.
But it's untested.
If this doesn't work,
you could be lost forever.
I understand.
But I know you can work
your magic, too.
Now, make it so!
Yes! Get ready
for Nexo scan!
[TREMBLING]
[ALL SCREAM]
[LAUGHING]
MACY:
Clay, we have five bars!
Wow! And I used
to hate my service plan!
[ELECTRONIC BEEPS INCREASING]
MACY:
Merlok! Nexo Knights!
MERLOK 2.0: Nexo Power Alliance
of the Fortrex!
Yeah! Workin' it!
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
[SCREAMING]
Oh, man.
Sorry, boss.
Aw, not Burnzie!
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
Hey, hey, hey!
Get back there and fight!
Where are you going?
Well, looks like
it's up to us.
Are you serious?
Ye... No.
Uh, hey, Clay.
Do we have to pose
heroically
after every battle?
Yes. It's
in the battle manual.
“Approved Post Battle
Celebrations” section.
AARON: Okay, so you're
saying that Merlok
is actually pouring
this iced tea?
He controls all functions
of the Fortrex now.
Total integration.
[SCREAMS]
MERLOK 2.0:
It's bad form to talk
about someone
behind their back.
I'm also driving,
you know,
and doing so many other
mystical things, such as...
defragging
my memory.
This is totally amazing.
Yeah. With Merlok 2.0
running the Fortrex,
and us able
to download those Nexo powers,
we have a chance
against Jestro.
A toast!
KNIGHTS:
The United Knights!
AVA: Merlok, part of the road
is washed-out ahead.
MERLOK 2.0:
Uh what, my dear?
Boogie down, boogie down,
boogie down...

we could do with this?
Journey the countryside
in peaceful comfort?
No, no. We could
modify this thing
into a rolling, um...
ROBIN: Fortrex!
A complete
rolling fortress,
ready for battle,
and spelled with an X.
Because having an X in the name
makes it cool and high tech.
Oh, you unhip people
and your naming things.
But there's
potential here:
We could connect Merlok 2.0's
round pedestal there;
all the power we need,
good wifi signal;
protection and proximity.
Dad? Could we borrow
Ye ‘ol royal RV?
Oh, Macy.
I don't know if
you should be driving
around looking for fights.
And I just had it
waxed and detailed.
And new cupholders
put in.
Dear, they need it
to protect the kingdom.
[SIGHS]
ROBIN: You guys get
some food and rest,
and just leave
everything to us!
[SCREAMING]
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHS]
Boogie down,
boogie down...
[TOOL WHIRRING]
[SCREAMS]
Will you be quiet?
[MUSIC STOPS]
Thank you.
[SCREAMING]
[SIGHS]
Who would have thought
destroying the kingdom
would be so hard?
Eh.
What's over there?
What's that?
That's Waterton.
It's pretty big.
You're not up for that yet.
It requires a lot of
“knowing what you're doing.”
Become evil by being evil,
you tell me.
Maybe I should bite off
more than I can chew
to see
if I can, um, chew it.
I can't argue
with that logic,
but why don't we just
stick with the plan, huh:
Find more books
and feed them to me.
Doesn't Waterton pump water
to a huge hunk of the kingdom?
Including the capitol?
We destroy that,
we'd be done much sooner.
Wow, somebody has taught you
how to “think evil.”
But we'll need
more monsters.
I got it: “Monsters, monsters
come forth and pillage!
Let's take care
of that little ol' village!”
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHING AND SCREAMING]
Okay, I know all of us
are tired
from being
up all night studying...
Yes, up
all night “studying.”
He means up
all night “Club Medievaling”.
Hey! Relaxation is an important
part of my training regimen.
The only part, really.
[YAWNS]
Were you
at the club, too?
I stayed up
all night eating.
That's my training
regimen.
It's not that hard,
Knights!
We're trying to be a team!
That takes hard work,
not wasting time.
[CRASH]
Oh, but we're good
at wasting time!
Okay, smart guy, what happens
the first time we fight Jestro?
We can't reach him at
the moment, but when we can...
[RUMBLING]
That thing looks sa-weet!
And look how big it is!
Real big.
And it's not stopping.
Run away!
[SCREAMING]
Ha, ha. Sorry.
Heh.
Still adjusting the brakes.
One completely self-contained
rolling battle fortress.
All for you.
Oh, this doesn't look like
my dad's RV any more.
This is pretty awesome.
Heh, like,
awesome-awesome!
Of course this rolling castle
has a fully equipped armory.
Laser Arrows, we got ‘em.
Swords? Yup.
Halberds, morning stars, axes?
We've got'em!
Unh... Just what
every girl needs.
Knights needs their rest,
so enjoy these voice-controlled,
temperature balanced,
fully adjustable massage beds.
I'm... I'm home.
I only sleep two hours a day,
so this doesn't interest me.
Oh, oh, oh,
but this will:
Time to turn that frown
upside down...
Our state of the art
training area!
Danger Room tech can level up
a knight to an eleven.
[GASPS]
A fully programmable
holo-mirror system,
with complete sensor array
that can change the appearance
of the room
to suit your every need.
AARON: Whoa!
AXL: Yes!
You have made me
a very happy knight.
All this, to him, is like
being in a toy store.
A fully-stocked,
stainless steel,
computer-integrated kitchen.
Whoa.
Complete with Chefbot.
I am the great chef, Eclair.
You may call me...
Chef Eclair.
Whoo! Ha ha ha!
We're going to be
such good friends.
My delectable edibles will
be wasted on his gaping maw.
And the “downtime” area.
Now, that's what
I'm talking about!
[GRUNTS]
He means
when we have downtime.
There's always time
for downtime.
And Merlok 2.0?
Where's he?
Hm... I've installed
the pedestal here.
Theoretically,
Merlok 2.0 could be the
Fortrex's operating system.
But I haven't
found a way
to transfer him
into the Fortrex's systems.
And the Nexo powers?
Can he upload them from here?
Yes, if I can find a way
to transfer Merlok 2.0
into the
central system.
It requires a great computing
mind to figure it out.
Fortunately,
I have one of those.
I am Merlok 2.0!
And all we have to do is--
Wakka-wakka-boink-boink...
Wakka-wakka-
wakka-boink-boink--
You'll get it, Ava.
We believe in you.
The good news is, we're
taking the fight to Jestro.
[GRUNTS]
Yes!
As you are
the defenders of this kingdom,
we thought
a gift might be in order.
The RV--
I mean, Fortrex--
has a garage
on its lower level, so...
Now that is a fine looking
piece of machinery.
Huh? There's
only three seats.
Hey, I got
my hovershield.
Only ride I need.
What about you, Lance?
[WHISTLES]
Uh, isn't a mecha-steed
a little “old fashioned”?
Not really...
[ALARM CHIRPS]
[ENGINE REVVING]
MERLOK 2.0:
Attention, Knights!
This is Merlok 2.0
the Magician.
Can you hear me?
Is this thing on?
AVA: Yes, Merlok,
for the umpteenth time,
they can see and hear you.
Jestro is
on his way to Waterton.
Waterton!
That's diabolical!
That soggy burg?
Who cares?
If Waterton is destroyed,
a third of the kingdom
would have no water.
Nothing to drink.
No swimming pools,
no jacuzzis.
What?
That's... diabolical!
There's no time
to waste, man!
We need that teamwork thing
you've been talking about!
Let's go!
No, wait, I know
what you're going to say:
“Lance, you shiny,
self-centered,
obnoxious
pointy-stick carrier.”
Okay, I admit it,
your way of doing things
may have some merit
in this upcoming battle.
I would've added “lazy”,
but I'll accept your apology.
I think
along with teamwork,
we'll need those cool “gifts”
from the king and queen.
Ah, so quiet.
So lovely.
Now burn it
to the ground!
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Ha, ha, ha!
Too late, country bumpkins!
No way anything
can stop us!
BOTH: Whoa!
Hey, hey,
what the heck is that?
That looks like
King Halberd's RV?
I almost
destroyed that thing
doing my “Stilt-Tacular”
jester show, heh.
It looks... different.
They have cars?
Privileged bunch
of namby-pambies!
Okay, Knights,
time for a pincer attack!
[GRUNTS]
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
[WEAPON POWERS UP]
Time to put our Nexo powers
to use on Jestro's army!
Merlok, power download!
[ELECTRONIC BEEPS
DECREASING PITCH]
Go!
They've got nothing!
Attack!
No wifi signal?
Really?
[SCREAMING AND CHEERING]
Looks like we're
doin' it old school.
We could use
the Whirling Macy
to break up that monster pack
into a monster mash.
You did read my binder.
Heh.
The greatest knight
in the realm
would do no less.
Glippity, gloppity, goo!
Larrupin' Lou!
Blast!
It's not working, Ava!
You've got to be
fully integrated
into the rolling
castle's systems.
Robin, I need you
to buy me some time.
On it.
[SCREAMING]
Whoo-hoo!
I love the Whirling Macy!
Even if
it makes me... dizzy.
Sometimes,
being dizzy is awesome.
[GRUNTS]
Don't you love surprises?
[SCREAMING]
[GRUNTING]
We must do something,
my child!
They are in dire need!
We have to try this.
I call it...
Techkaliber.
It's a flash drive
I designed
to transfer huge files,
like your program.
If I can get you
into the main Fortrex computers,
you'll have no trouble
uploading your spells.
But it's untested.
If this doesn't work,
you could be lost forever.
I understand.
But I know you can work
your magic, too.
Now, make it so!
Yes! Get ready
for Nexo scan!
[TREMBLING]
[ALL SCREAM]
[LAUGHING]
MACY:
Clay, we have five bars!
Wow! And I used
to hate my service plan!
[ELECTRONIC BEEPS INCREASING]
MACY:
Merlok! Nexo Knights!
MERLOK 2.0: Nexo Power Alliance
of the Fortrex!
Yeah! Workin' it!
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
[SCREAMING]
Oh, man.
Sorry, boss.
Aw, not Burnzie!
[EXERTION GRUNTS]
Hey, hey, hey!
Get back there and fight!
Where are you going?
Well, looks like
it's up to us.
Are you serious?
Ye... No.
Uh, hey, Clay.
Do we have to pose
heroically
after every battle?
Yes. It's
in the battle manual.
“Approved Post Battle
Celebrations” section.
AARON: Okay, so you're
saying that Merlok
is actually pouring
this iced tea?
He controls all functions
of the Fortrex now.
Total integration.
[SCREAMS]
MERLOK 2.0:
It's bad form to talk
about someone
behind their back.
I'm also driving,
you know,
and doing so many other
mystical things, such as...
defragging
my memory.
This is totally amazing.
Yeah. With Merlok 2.0
running the Fortrex,
and us able
to download those Nexo powers,
we have a chance
against Jestro.
A toast!
KNIGHTS:
The United Knights!
AVA: Merlok, part of the road
is washed-out ahead.
MERLOK 2.0:
Uh what, my dear?
Boogie down, boogie down,
boogie down...
