whoosh

swoosh

Ha, ha.
Nice try, Jess.

'Better luck next time.'

Uh-huh. I believe that's
what I said to you

when we last
played Megaquest.

Well, that's why
we're here.

Grudge rematch time.
Huh, Hadj?



Are you sure you want
to take her on again?

After she destroyed you
in level three.

Just get me online.

This time, I'm grabbin'
that golden chalice.

It's weeks since we played.

Sure you're not gonna
be a little rusty?

[chuckles]

I've been waiting for this.

I'm amped.

Then let the game begin.

(Hadji)
'Quest World log on.'

'Subjects Jonny Quest
and Jessie Bannon.'

'Going hot.'

(Hadji)
'Welcome to Megaquest.'



'Where the winner takes all.'

'As you know, the Golden Chalice
is your goal.'

(Iris)
'Activating hover chariots.'

'Loading shield,
laser spear'

'and grappling hook
for each player.'

beep beep

whoosh

Hey!

swoosh

(Iris)
'Jonny has taken
a 20 percent lead.'

(Jessie)
'I'll cut that down.'

(Iris)
'You have now cut
Jonny's lead in half.'

(Jonny)
Try and cut this, Jess.

(Jessie)
No, problem.

smash

swoosh

(Iris)
Caution! Roadblocks ahead,
30 meters.

(Jessie)
Ha-ha!

(Jonny)
Ya, I remember this.

smash

[dramatic music]

(Iris)
'Warning! My programming
is being compromised.'

Iris?

What gives?

(Iris)
'Activating
alternate Megaquest.'

(Jonny)
Iris, this game's supposed to be
between just, Jesse and me.

(Surd)
'Oh, it still is.'

(Jessie)
Uh-oh!
They look just like us.

(Surd)
'Welcome to Megaquest
Surd version 6.0.'

'Or should I say
"six feet under".'

What?

(Evil Jonny)
Game over, Jessie.

Game over,Jessie.

[Jessie gasping]

Ah!

crash

Thanks.

[whirring]

clink

A-ah!

(Surd)
'Your clones won't
give up so easily.'

(Jonny)
Hadji, did you see that?

Yes, but now my monitor
has gone to static.

Somehow, Surd instituted
an internal disruption

of the Megaquest game circuit.

But Surd's in prison.

(Jesse)
It must have been
a sleeper virus program

he implanted months ago,
that got randomly activated

'when we re-accessed the game.'

Yes, it is too dangerous.

I'm pulling you out of there.

[electricity crackling]

Ah!

(Surd)
'Aw, but you cant quit now.'

'You are bound
by my neuro-cyber net.'

'Try to shut off the game,
and you two perish.'

'Perish in the game
and you lose for real.'

'It's what we call
a lose-lose situation.'

'Muahaha muahaha!'

(Surd)
'Unless, of course,
you can defeat your clones.'

'But they're electronic
and they wont tire'

'like you will.'

Hadji, what can we do?

You have met the enemy
and they are you.

You must destroy them first.

And remember, since they
are constructed

from Quest World
memory banks.

'They not only look like you,
but think like you.'

Then I'd be trying to cut us off
right about...here.

[whirring]

crash

[intense music]

(Jonny)
Hang on.

(Jessie)
Whoa!

[indistinct]

(Jessie)
Whoa!

Then I suppose Surd
can give these clones

any weapons they want.

(Surd)
'Unfair, isn't it?
But so much fun.'

Hadji, can you hack us
some more weaponry?

swoosh

(Hadji)
'I'm on it, Jonny.'

'But I'm locked out,
it'll take me some time.

(Jonny)
I don't think time, is something
we have a whole lot of.

(Hadji)
'Hang on,
I've called Dr. Quest.'

He should be here soon.

pew pew pew

(Jessie)
You going in that hive?

I'm not sure
this is a good idea, Jonny.

Maybe it'll get our twins
off our tails.

swoosh

pew

I think we lost me.

(Jessie)
What's that?

buzz

[Jessie gasping]

tchang

buzz

swoosh

(Jonny)
One shield
and one spear down.

(Jessie)
'I told you
this wasn t a good idea.'

(Jonny)
'We've got company.'

thud

[music continues]

(Jessie)
'Go!'

smash

Huh?

(Jonny)
Hang on!

buzz

[music continues]

(Jonny)
'Get ready to jump.'

'Last shield'

Hop on, Jess.

But, Jonny--

I'll catch up with you below.

(Jessie)
Oh-h-h!

Oh-h-h!

[music continues]

tching

crash

[crackling]

- Jonny?
- Jess?

I couldn't leave with out you.

Let's move.

Where's your shield?

Right here.

[intense music]

I'm trying to hack a backdoor
into the program

so I can provide Jonny
and Jessie with more weaponry.

'But I'm afraid what I give
to my friends'

'I will also give to the enemy.'

(Surd)
'Yes, diabolical isn't it?'

[Surd cackling]

Surd seems to have
thought of everything.

If the kids can't
defeat the clones

they're physical life functions
will fail.

We must find a way to help them
beat the program.

Surd isn't going
to get away with this.

If anything happens
to Jesse or Jonny, I'll..

- Race, where are you going?
- To Brattleford Prison.

I'm going to get the abort code
from Surd. One way or the other.

Oh, man.
We made it past level one. But..

Eventually it's
just going to be them or us.

Eventually?

Yah!

Wha...Jess?

Ha ha ha!

Huh!

[intense music]

zap

Ah!
Ah-h-h!

tching

(Evil Jessie)
'You're out of options, Jonny.'

When the spear is gone,
you will be too.

Uh!

smash

Ah-h-h!

(Evil Jessie)
You weren't much
of a challenge, sister.

Ah!

[music continues]

[grunting]

[grunting]

- Ah-h-h!
- Ah-h-h!

Uh, no!

Hadji! We're in the fire pit!

Hadji..

I am almost...there!

Uh!

Cuttin' it a little
close there, pal.

(Hadji)
'Sorry, Surd has not made this
easy.'

Tell us about it.

(Hadji)
'Where are you now?'

(Jessie)
Uh, level two,
The Desert of Fire.

(Jonny)
'Any sign of those clones?'

(Hadji)
'No, monitor is still out.'

'Sector readings are fuzzy'

'but you're dad
is working on it.'

(Jonny)
Dad?

(Dr. Quest)
'Don't worry, we'll get you both
out of there.'

(Surd)
'Oh, your son will be
well taken care of, Dr. Quest.'

(Evil Jonny)
Here's Jonny.

[intense music]

(Jonny)
Wha?

zap zap

Uh!

zap zap zap

smash

Ha ha ha.

smash

[helicopter blades whirring]

[intense music]

[eerie music]

Uh, careful, Mr. Bannon.

[music continues]

(warden)
'Don't get too close.'

He's the one
who should be worried.

(Surd)
Oh, Mr. Bannon.

I knew eventually
that sleeper virus

would bring you here.

I want the abort codes, Surd.
And I want them now.

(Surd)
Sorry, no deal.

Unless, you could free me
from this...stone mausoleum.

You know I cant do that.

(Surd)
You're a resourceful man,
Mr. Bannon.

How long do you think
your daughter can hold out

'against those virtual doubles?'

They never tire.

Why, she might even
be dead by now.

Surd! Come back here.

Sorry, Mr. Bannon,
Your time is..

[intense music]

[all coughing]

Bannon! What are you do..

Uh.

thud

[music continues]

(Surd)
Mr. Bannon, you surprise me.

And you were smart enough
to know your knock out gas

would not affect my
self contained oxygen unit.

I get you out of here
and you get those kids

out of Quest World.
Understood?

(Surd)
Understood.

[alarm blaring]

How do you propose
to get me out of here now?

Leave that to me.

[intense music]

(guard #1)
What's going on?

(guard #2)
It's Surd, he's making
a break for it, but I can't see.

[music continues]

[helicopter blades whirring]

Remember, Surd,
I want those kids alive.

[guns firing]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[eerie music]

whoosh

woosh

[music continues]

swoosh

swoosh

Ah!

Hadji!

(Hadji)
Jessie! Jonny!

Now we are totally cut off.

But I'm still getting sector
readings from level three.

We must get the kids a device
that'll neutralize their clones.

And if we cannot,
or the devices fall

into the Doubles hands..

Then it's upto Race.

[gunfire]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[gunfire continues]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[gunfire continues]

I got you out, Surd.

I want the abort code
to that infernal game.

Now!

Oh, why spoil a perfectly
enjoyable afternoon?

Race Bannon,
fugitive from the law.

(Dr. Quest)
'Race, it's Jessie.'

'I'm sorry but,
I'm afraid we lost her.'

Jess? No, doc. No!

You could've saved her, Surd.

(Race)
'Deals off,
I'm taking you back to prison.'

No, you wouldn't,
you'd be arrested.

What do I have to lose?

Wait!
You can still save the boy.

(Race)
'Jonny.'

(Surd)
The abort code is D-X-T-4-3.

The abort code is D-X-T-4-3.

It will take a few minutes
to disable Surd's system.

[helicopter blades whirring]

(man on radio)
'Race Bannon,
you're under arrest.'

I hope this will help.

whoosh

You've reached
the golden chalice, Jessie.

whoosh

crash

But you're still a loser.

I guess you win.

Yeah, close your eyes.
It'll all be over soon.

whoosh

Aah!

A-a-h!

(Evil Jonny)
'Looks like Hadji
finally came through.'

How about gettin'
this clone off my back?

Wait! He's the clone.
Jess, we've won.

Jonny?

Aah!

- Yes.
- No!

clank

He's the evil one.

Jess, don't shoot,
It's really me.

Don't listen to him, Jess.
I'm the real Jonny.

Don't you remember how
you destroyed me

right here in level three.

Wait! Sure he knows that.

It's in the game's memory banks.

But I beat you
to the lighthouse today.

On the hover board.

'That happened before
we went into the game.'

And only I could..

No!

Good thinking, Jonny.

Yeah, for a second there,
you had me worried.

(Surd)
'You may have
defeated your doubles.'

But in less than ten seconds,
you are going to perish anyway.

You know I never
play by the rules.

zap

zap

[cackling]

Game over.

whoosh

[both gasp]

This time I thought
that double dealing Surd

really had us beat.

I'm afraid he would have.

If Race hadn't managed
to get the abort codes.

But Surd would never give up
those codes, willingly.

I must admit, it took some
of doing on your father's part.

(Surd)
Your daughter!
I-I thought she was..

Well, I kept my promise, Surd.
I got you outta prison.

I didn't say for how long.

(Surd)
But you'll still be doing hard
time for breaking me out.

We'll take him off
your hands now, Mr. Bannon.

Thanks, warden.

(Surd)
What?

(warden)
Glad we could help.

(Surd)
The whole jail break
was a set up?

Ah, very clever, Mr. Bannon.

Yeah well,
I'm no twisted genius, Surd.

But I do my best.

(Surd)
I will destroy you yet,
and that is my promise.

- Dad.
- Thanks.

(Jonny)
'Thanks, Jess.'

(Jessie)
No, thank you.

But, uh, I still won the game.

Oh really?
How do you figure that?

Well, I did destroy you
on level three.

I don't think so.
That was my clone.

Funny, looked real
enough to me.

I can still beat you for real
on this hover board.

We'll see about that.

While they race,
I think I will erase

that Megaquest game
from Quest World.

(Dr. Quest)
Let me give you a hand.

Yeah, I'd like to pull
the plug personally.
