[PANTING]

HUH?

UGH!

THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH THESE ONLINE VIDEO GAMES.

TOO MANY UNQUALIFIED RANDOM PLAYERS.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

NOBODY BUT US HAS A CLUE,

EXCEPT FOR THAT CHAOS GUY.

THAT GUY'S UNSTOPPABLE.

WAS UNSTOPPABLE.

WATCH THIS.

HEY, CHAOS!

GAME OVER, FIDWIT.

AAH!

STILL NOT STOPPED.

Both: AAH!

AAH! AAH!

[BEEPING]

DANNY, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW,

I ACCIDENTALLY KILLED YOUR GERBIL IN THE SIXTH GRADE.

WHAT?

HA HA HA!

OH, MAN! SMOKED AGAIN!

DARN IT!

I THOUGHT USING THE FENTON HELMET

AS MY GAME CONTROLLER WOULD GIVE ME AN EDGE,

NOT HAT HAIR!

[BEEPING]

YAH!

OH!

HA HA!

ONCE AGAIN, I, TECHNUS,

MASTER OF ALL THINGS ELECTRONIC AND BEEPING,

AM FREE, ONCE AGAIN, TO CONQUER THIS WORLD!

HA HA HA!

TO CONQUER THIS WORLD!

ALTHOUGH, THAT WORLD LOOKS MORE ENTERTAINING.

AND THE FASHION SENSE IS FAR SUPERIOR.

PERHAPS IT IS THERE THAT I SHALL BE KING.

OH, NO, YOU DON'T!

WELL, AT LEAST THE HAIR'S BETTER.

AAH!

OH, THAT STINKS!

NO MATTER!

I SHALL RETURN!

SO LONG, GHOST BOY!

OH, GREAT.

CONSTANTLY GETTING ZAPPED AND DOOMED IS BAD ENOUGH.

BUT NOW I HAVE TO TRACK DOWN THAT LOSER?

I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT TOMORROW.

[TICKING]

IT IS TOMORROW!

I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT!

AHH, OH WELL.

ONE SLEEPY DAY AT SCHOOL AND ONE LAME GHOST FREED.

WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN?

[BUZZ]

PENCILS DOWN!

ALL TESTS IN!

[SNORING]

AHH, TEACHING.

ALWAYS REWARDING.

LAST TIME TECHNUS FUSED A MONSTER

OUT OF THE JUNK FROM MY DAD'S SHED.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR RUNAWAY APPLIANCES.

COPY--THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEFEAT THE BOSS

AND POWER HIM DOWN TO LEVEL ZERO.

UH, LEVEL ZERO IS A NO MAN'S LAND, SAM.

IT'S A GLITCH IN THE DOOMED PROGRAM.

IF YOU GET KNOCKED INTO IT, YOU'RE STUCK THERE.

I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW INTERESTING THAT IS.

IF YOU WERE GAME SAVVY, YOU'D KNOW THAT.

OH, REALLY? LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

HOLD IT! I'VE GOT SOMETHING.

FAST-MOVING GARAGE SALE HEADED EAST TOWARDS THE PARK.

HA HA! YES!

COME TO ME, BEAUTIFUL TECHNOLOGY!

AND TOGETHER, WE SHALL BUILD A NEW BODY

WORTHY OF MY GREATNESS!

SOMETHING SLEEK, STYLISH,

AND TOTALLY MODERN!

YEAH, BABY!

LOOK FAMILIAR?

TECHNUS SAW ME PLAYING DOOMED LAST NIGHT;

NOW HE'S TRYING TO LOOK LIKE CHAOS!

THE WAY YOU PLAY DOOMED, HE SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO BEAT.

IGNORING THAT!

OK, TUCK, HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO.

YOU DISTRACT HIM WITH AN L2-THROTTLE-RIGHT MANEUVER.

AND I'LL POWER UP AND ENGAGE HIM IN BATTLE MODE!

WHAT ABOUT ME?

YOU STAY HERE, SAM.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW THE MOVES

THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

YEAH, YOU'D JUST GET IN THE WAY.

[REVVING]

TIME TO SHOW HIM WHAT 5 VOLTS OF MANLY BATTERY POWER

CAN REALLY DO!

I GOT HIM DISTRACTED! HIT HIM, DANNY!

OY!

UNH!

OOF!

UH!

SO MUCH FOR BATTLE MODE, HUH?

OK, THIS CALLS FOR ADVANCED MODE WITH AN INTANGIBILITY BONUS!

YEAH, BOY!

THIS IS BETTER THAN THE GAUNTLET OF DOOM IN LEVEL 9!

YAH!

COOL! HOW'D I DO THAT?

NO!

I, TECHNUS, AM GETTING TIRED OF GETTING BEATEN BY YOU!

YEAH, WELL, YOU, TECHNUS,

ARE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN SOME NEW VIDEO GAME MOVES

IF YOU WANNA BEAT US.

YOU'RE RIGHT!

I HAVE ALL THE STYLE, BUT NONE OF THE SUBSTANCE.

I MUST ACQUIRE THESE NEW SKILLS!

AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I CAN DO THAT!

YOU WON! GREAT JOB, DANNY!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HE SELF-DESTRUCTED.

EH, WHATEVER.

I'M HERE, HE'S GONE,

AND THAT MEANS MY WORK HERE IS DONE.

OH!

COOL! SO, WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?

OK, TUCK, JUST LIKE IN THE PARK!

I'M ALL OVER IT!

[REVVING]

YAH!

AH!

HA HA HA!

OH, MAN! IT'S LIKE HE WAS 3 STEPS AHEAD OF US!

UGH. ANOTHER ALL-NIGHTER!

[YAWNS]

HA!

HA HA HA!

BY AND LARGE, I AM PLEASED WITH THE TEST RESULTS.

I KNOW THE POETRY OF THE 19th CENTURY IS ENOUGH

TO PUT ONE TO SLEEP,

THIS, HOWEVER, BORDERS ON SARCASM.

[RING]

[CHEERING]

A WORD, DANNY?

DANNY, WHEN A TEACHER LOOKS AT A STUDENT,

HE HOPES TO SEE THE REFLECTION OF HIS OWN ABILITIES.

WHEN I LOOK AT YOU,

I SEE MY OWN "F."

I DON'T LIKE TO FAIL, DO YOU?

M-M-MR. LANCER, I--I--I CAN EXPLAIN!

I--I--I NEED NO EXPLANATIONS. I NEED RESULTS.

SO, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO?

PASS ME SO YOU DON'T LOOK BAD?

HA HA! NO.

HOWEVER, I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU

THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO BETTER.

I'M MAKING YOU RE-TAKE THE TEST.

BUT IT'S ONLY ONE STUPID TEST!

ONE STUPID TEST THAT ACCOUNTS

FOR ONE QUARTER OF YOUR FINAL GRADE!

THAT'S 25%, IN CASE YOU'RE FAILING MATH AS WELL.

YOU HAVE 3 DAYS TO STUDY FOR THE MAKE-UP. GET IT?

GOT IT.

I GOT IT!

IF YOU CRACK THE SAFE AT MEGA MART,

YOU GET AN EXTRA LIFE!

THAT EXTRA LIFE WILL COME IN HANDY

WHEN LANCER KILLS YOU FOR FLUNKING AGAIN.

WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?

SHE CAN'T BE HERE TO PLAY.

OH, BECAUSE I'M A GIRL!?

AND US GIRLS ARE LACKING IN WHAT?

OPPOSABLE THUMBS? ONE-TRACK MINDS?

STUPID BERETS?

HEY!

AS MUCH AS I HATE TO SAY IT,

SAM'S GOT A POINT.

I PROBABLY SHOULD BE STUDYING. TUCK?

I'LL STICK WITH GOOFING OFF.

WE'RE GONNA NEED ALL THE AMMO WE CAN GET

IF WE WANT TO DEFEAT CHAOS.

CHAOS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO LANCER.

IMAGINE IF HE CAUGHT ME IN HERE. HA HA HA!

YES, IMAGINE THAT.

MY LAST FORM WAS UNSTABLE,

AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONCEAL MYSELF

FROM THOSE ANNOYING CHILDREN!

BUT THIS NEW BODY IS MUCH MORE-- HOW WOULD THE KIDS SAY IT TODAY?

FAR OUT?

IN THIS NEW BODY, THEY SHALL NEVER KNOW IT'S ME!

TECHNUS!

YO, NEWBIE!

LOOK OUT!

[ROAR]

EXCELLENT!

YOU ARE QUITE THE GAME PLAYER, BESPECTACLED ONE.

THANKS!

I KNOW A FEW MOVES.

[CRUNCH]

PERHAPS YOU COULD TEACH ME

THESE MOVES OF WHICH YOU SPEAK, HMM?

THEN I CAN BECOME AS HIP AND FAR OUT AS YOU!

HIP? FAR OUT? WOW, YOU DO NEED HELP.

FORTUNATELY, YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

STEP INTO MY OFFICE.

THIS IS LEVEL TWO, THE BRIDGE OF DOOM.

TO SURVIVE THIS LEVEL, YOU NEED STEALTH, CUNNING,

AND LIGHTNING-FAST REFLEXES.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

WATCH AND LEARN.

THAT WAS INFORMATIVE.

BUT LET ME TRY SOMETHING.

AWESOME!

I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT POWER IN THIS GAME BEFORE.

YOU MEAN, I HAVE POWERS HERE THAT YOU DON'T?

INTERESTING.

OK, DOING GOOD SO FAR.

YOU KEEP THIS UP,

AND YOU CAN HELP ME DEFEAT CHAOS.

I'LL SHOW YOU THE ROPES.

ARE THESE THE ROPES OF WHICH YOU SPEAK?

NO. THOSE ARE SHAOLIN WOOSHOO WARLORDS.

PLAYING AN INTERNET VIDEO GAME

IS HARDLY THE STUFF OF HUMAN DRAMA, DANNY.

BUT IT'S FUN.

FUN IS RELATIVE.

WHEN I SEE A STUDENT PASS THROUGH THE PORTALS OF CASPER HIGH

FOR THE LAST TIME, BRIMMING WITH THE KNOWLEDGE

THAT IT TAKES TO MAKE IT IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD,

TO ME, THAT'S FUN.

THEN YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE.

AND YOU NEED TO STAY IN MORE.

AND HERE ARE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE YOU DO JUST THAT.

MY PARENTS!

NOW, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS "SKILL" CONTEST?

TO DEFEAT ALL FOES, REACH LEVEL 13,

AND RETRIEVE THE 7 SILVER KEYS TO THE APOCALYPSE.

AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

GAIN ULTIMATE POWER AND ACCESS TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB!

VERY WELL.

THEN I, TECHNUS, SHALL USE MY GHOST POWERS

AND NEWFOUND GAMING PROWESS

TO WIN THE GAME AND SPREAD MY INTELLECT

TO EVERY MACHINE IN THE WORLD.

MY, THAT WAS A LONG SPEECH.

WHAT? TECHNUS?

BINGO, BOOBY.

GAME OVER!

HA HA!

AAH!

THAT WAS FUN.

OH, NO. TECHNUS IS IN THE GAME.

AND HE'S ABLE TO USE HIS GHOST POWERS.

I'VE GOTTA STOP HIM BEFORE HE GETS TO THE INTERNET.

"LAZY, UNFOCUSSED, ILL-PREPARED, LETHARGIC."

NEED I GO ON?

DAD, I--

NOW, THAT'S ENOUGH OF YOUR SASS TALK, MISTER.

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST, MR. LANCER?

DANNY WILL PASS. I KNOW HE'S CAPABLE.

BUT I'D LIKE HIM TO SPEND HIS AFTER-SCHOOL HOURS IN MY OFFICE STUDYING

UNTIL I ADMINISTER THE MAKE-UP EXAM.

Both: BUT I HAVE STUFF TO DO AFTER CLASS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

AH, BUT CONSIDER THIS.

IF YOU FAIL, YOU MAY BE HELD BACK A YEAR.

IF IT'S BORING ONCE, IMAGINE TAKING IT AGAIN.

GET THIS STRAIGHT, DANNY.

YOU'RE A FENTON.

FENTONS GET A's...

OR IN YOUR FATHER'S CASE, B-MINUSES.

SOLID B-MINUSES.

UNTIL YOU RETAKE THIS TEST

AND PASS IT WITH FLYING COLORS,

WE'RE FORBIDDING ACCESS TO ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

IT'S TUCKER.

HE'S BUSY!

[SCREAMING]

INTERESTING.

I SEEM TO GROW STRONGER AND WITH EACH VANQUISHED FOE.

THIS IS BAD. HE'S FIGURING THE GAME OUT.

WHY WON'T DANNY ANSWER?

MAYBE HE'S BUSY.

COULD YOU USE A HAND?

FAT CHANCE.

IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.

EVERY MAN, HUH?

WHAT?

YOU'RE CHAOS?

IF YOU WERE GAME SAVVY, YOU'D KNOW THAT.

I'M GHOST BOY. I'M FRIAR TUCK.

WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP BECAUSE YOU'RE A GIRL.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH ALREADY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS YOU DUSTING US ALL THIS TIME.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?

I TRIED TO,

BUT BETWEEN THE CONDESCENSION AND THE COCKINESS,

I BARELY HAD TIME FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

WELL, THE MAIN THING IS,

SAM CAN HELP ME FIGHT TECHNUS

WHILE YOU'RE OUT OF COMMISSION.

I MEAN, I CAN HELP SAM.

WHAT A MESS.

IT'S MY FAULT TECHNUS IS OUT THERE

WHILE I'M STUCK STUDYING THE WORLD'S DULLEST SUBJECT.

JUST LEAVE EVERYTHING TO US, DANNY.

TECHNUS MAY HAVE THE POWER, BUT WE'VE GOT THE MOVES.

I'VE GOT LOTS OF CHEAT CODES

AND SECRET POWER-UPS IN MY ARSENAL.

OF COURSE, YOU GUYS MUST KNOW ALL THOSE, TOO, RIGHT?

WEIRD. THE GIRLS DO.

MAYBE YOU GUYS NEED TO COMMUNICATE BETTER.

Lancer: DANNY FENTON!

MY CLASSROOM! NOW!

[SNORING]

UH! HUH!

GOING SOMEWHERE, MR. FENTON?

JUST STRETCHING MY LEGS.

OH, WRITING YOUR SISTER, HUH?

YOU HAVE A SISTER?

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER IN AGES.

CAN'T AFFORD THE PLANE FARE.

YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR YOU TO SAY,

"GOSH, MR. LANCER, I NEVER REALIZED BEING A TEACHER

COULD BE SO DIFFICULT."

I'M 14. I DON'T REALLY CARE.

YES, YES, OF COURSE.

GONNA GET SOME AIR.

GOTTA CROSS TEACHER OFF MY "WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP" LIST.

YOU GUYS THERE?

Sam: WHAT ARE YOU DOING ONLINE?

JUST CHECKING IN.

HOW'S IT GOING?

WE'RE KEEPING TECHNUS IN CHECK.

BUT HE'S GETTING STRONGER.

IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME

BEFORE HE MASTERS THE GAME.

WISH I COULD HELP. STUDYING IS A DRAG.

IS IT, DANNY?

MR. LANCER!

I WAS JUST TAKING--

TAKING UP MY VALUABLE TIME.

THERE ARE NO CHEAT CODES IN SCHOOL, DANNY,

OR IN LIFE.

BUT IF YOU DON'T CARE, WHY SHOULD I?

HERE WE GO.

UM, IN THE POEM "THE TIGER,"

WHY DOES HE RHYME THE WORDS "I" AND "SYMMETRY"?

THE POEM WAS WRITTEN IN THE EARLY 1800s.

I'M SURE THERE WERE MULTIPLE WAYS TO PRONOUNCE THAT WORD.

AND IT'S BLAKE, RIGHT?

WILLIAM BLAKE?

ACTUALLY, YES.

THERE WERE ACTUALLY OTHER POEMS HE WROTE

THAT USED THE SAME FORM OF RHYME SCHEME.

REALLY? WHICH ONES?

ARGH!

NOT BAD FOR A GUY WITH NO MOVES, HUH?

OH, NO! HE FOUND THE POWER PLUS CUBE.

FAREWELL, CHILDREN.

I, THE NEW, IMPROVED TECHNUS,

HAVE REACHED THE NEXT LEVEL!

WELL, IT'S NOW OR NEVER... AND IT BETTER BE NOW.

I'VE GOT LESS THAN AN HOUR BEFORE TECHNUS GETS TO THE LAST LEVEL.

MM-HMM. MM-HMM.

HMM...

MMM... MM-HMM.

91. 91? I ACED IT?

JUST BARELY, BUT YES.

YOU ACED IT.

YES! I KNEW I COULD DO IT!

HEY, I DID. I DID KNOW I COULD DO IT.

THANKS.

YES. WELL, DON'T THINK THIS MEANS

I WON'T BE KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU, FENTON.

DON'T THINK THIS MEANS YOU WON'T HAVE TO.

I ACED IT!

AH, THE OLD "I DON'T GET TO SEE MY SISTER SPEECH"

GETS 'EM EVERY TIME.

WHY DON'T THEY EVER REALIZE THAT'S ME IN A DRESS?

HELLO!

NOT AN IDIOT! SEE YA!

I SHOULD GIVE HIM HIS PHONE BACK.

YO, GUYS, I'M HERE.

AND I ACED THE TEST.

DUDE, THAT'S GREAT.

YOU GOT A HUNDRED? UH!

HEH HEH HEH!

NO. I GOT AN A-MINUS. A SOLID A-MINUS.

WE'RE IN LEVEL 13.

TECHNUS HAS 5 OF THE 7 SILVER KEYS.

TWO MORE AND HE'S KING OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB.

[ROAR]

IT'LL TAKE ME FOREVER TO REACH LEVEL 13.

HE'S USING HIS GHOST POWERS.

I CAN'T STOP HIM.

GHOST POWERS? UH! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT.

TECHNUS USED HIS GHOST POWERS IN THE GAMES,

SO WHY CAN'T I, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT, I'M IN. THIS HAD BETTER WORK.

WHOA! EXCELLENT!

I'M LEARNING ALL OVER THE PLACE TODAY.

SWEET. MY POWERS ARE THE ULTIMATE CHEAT CODE.

[HORN BLARES]

YES! TWO MORE KEYS,

THEN I, THE NEW, IMPROVED TECHNUS,

SHALL BE THE HIP, MODERN RULER OF THE WORLD.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

HA HA! I, TECHNUS, AM TOTALLY FRYING YOUR BACON!

WELL, THAT'S ONE THING HE HASN'T UPGRADED--

HIS CATCHPHRASES.

HA HA! YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME!

FOR I AM TECHNUS, MASTER OF--

MASTER OF LONGWINDED INTRODUCTIONS.

DO YOU EVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF?

DO SOMETHING, DANNY.

WE'RE ONE KEY AWAY FROM A CATASTROPHE.

OH, AND CONGRATS ON THE "A."

THANKS!

HA HA!

NO!

HIS VULNERABLE. KEEP HAMMERING HIM!

DO YOU THINK HE GAVE UP?

NEGATIVE. INCOMING!

TUCK, REMEMBER THAT MEGACHEAT I TOLD YOU ABOUT?

TIME TO BUST IT OUT?

TIME TO BUST IT OUT.

HOLD TECHNUS OFF TILL I GET BACK.

HERE GOES EVERYTHING.

TUCKER! UH!

THE GAME IS OVER. VICTORY IS MINE!

ANY LAST REQUESTS, CHILD?

UM, YEAH. COULD YOU TAKE OUT THE TRASH, SAM.

Sam: WITH PLEASURE.

YAH!

NOT BAD FOR A GIRL.

IGNORING THAT.

CARE TO LEND A HAND.

AAH!

WHAT? WHERE AM I?

IT'S LEVEL ZERO.

IT'S A GLITCH IN THE PROGRAM.

ONE WAY IN, NO WAY OUT.

NOW, LISTEN HERE, YOUNG WHIPPER-SNAPPER,

I, TECHNUS, AM HIP AND FUNKY, FRESH AND--

TOTALLY OUT OF DATE.

GOOD THING I UPGRADED MY ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM.

DID I MISS ANYTHING?

JUST THE MOST AWESOME DISPLAY OF GAMESMANSHIP EVER.

HEY, GUYS, WE'VE GOT THE 7 SILVER KEYS TO THE APOCALYPSE.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS OPEN THE DOOR, AND WE WIN THE GAME.

HUH? HUH?

WHO ON EARTH COULD HAVE DONE THAT?

HA HA! ONCE AGAIN I HAVE THE SEVENTH SILVER KEY,

AND I AM VICTORIOUS!

ME, MR. LANCER!

I'VE GOTTA STOP DOING THAT.
