[crowd cheering]

-Goodbye! -Goodbye, Buffy!

-Goodbye! -Goodbye!

[grunts]

L.B., you're not gonna get away with this.

Give me back my gold! W-W-Whoa!

Hey, Twank, are you still hanging around?

-[laughing] -I demand that you give me back my gold.

[crying] But... it was our wedding present.

L.B., give it back, or-- or you're fired!

Who cares?

Now that we're rich, we quit.

You stay out of this, you horn-headed harpy.

[crying]

Did you hear what he called me?

I sure did!

And if I knew what it meant, I'd probably be really angry.

Well, so long, Twicks.

-No, no, wait! L.B., don't. -Huh?

Oh! You can keep the--

Ouch!

Gold!

Ah!

Thanks for dropping by!

[laughing]

Okay, Louie. Riptide Shores and the Land of Ying.

And step on it.

[distant chatter]

[Grubby laughing]

That's right. And watch this.

-Ooh! -Wow!

-Oh, my! -Wow!

And this is the decoding tray.

It allows us to read the crystal book.

-Read it! -Yeah, we wanna hear!

This book was written a long, long time ago.

"Now continues the written record of Wyma the Illiper,

humble scribe to the court of King Philben,

defender of the Illiper realm.

in the 20th year of King Philben's reign..."

Wyma the Illiper: ...we journeyed to the Hard To Find City

seeking aid from an older civilization.

A great drought had stripped our land of crops.

King Philben offered tribute and begged for help

to save his subjects from starvation.

They asked the Gutangs for help?

I don't think so, Grubby. Listen to this.

"We were overwhelmed by the kindness of the inhabitants of that place."

Wyma the Illiper: They revealed to us the wonders of their city

and the powers of their amazing crystals.

They constructed vast underground aqueducts

to carry water.

[gasps]

Our kingdom was saved by the knowledge of The Kind Ones,

for that is how we called them,

and when The Kind Ones ran out of farmland of their own,

they did not make war upon their neighbors,

but developed underwater farming techniques

and grew food at the bottom of Leekee Lake.

And they gladly shared their surplus food

with their lesser neighbors.

Thus it was that the peanut

and a leafy green called "lake lettuce"...

"...became staple foods throughout Grundo."

Heavens to Grundo!

That explains those mysterious, uh, tunnels,

in King Nogburt's moat.

Teddy: And the tunnels from Leekee Lake!

And those same guys must have invented the sub-water boat.

And your diving suit,

and, and gobs of other stuff.

[chuckles]

Boy, this is almost as exciting as discovering root stew.

[chattering]

[Teddy chuckles] It's a long story, folks.

I wouldn't know where to begin.

Well, it all began the day we met Newton Gimmick,

and he showed us this fantastic invention.

Uh, why, yes.

It was my airship

that made the start of our adventure possible.

Teddy: That's right. It got us to the Hard To Find City

where we discovered the crystals.

There, with our new friends, Prince Arin and Princess Aruzia,

we discovered the crystals.

This one says "Imagination."

Oh!

This one says "Honesty."

And this one, "Bravery."

-Trust. -Friendship.

All: Freedom!

[L.B. sighs]

Just sniff that scum.

From now on,

whenever I smell swamp scum,

I'll think of you.

Uh, I'd like to say, "Welcome to the Pig Out Arms"

but nobody is.

Did you have reservations?

Uh, no, but we do have serious doubts. [laughs]

Uh, very funny.

[clears throat] Just wait till you see your bill.

Now, that's really a joke.

I'll be back... when I feel like it.

Bon appetit, horn-heads.

Isn't this place romantic? Oh!

Yeah. And it's right next to the dump.

And it's famous for its poor service.

That waiter kind of reminds me of Tweez.

-Only he's not as dumb. -Who is?

I wonder what our ex-boss is up to.

Tweeg: Somehow the seashells turned into gold.

Oh, but buttermilk also turns into gold,

so I need buttermilk seashells,

or is it sea-milk butter-shells?

What are you clowns staring at?

Can't you see I'm going mad?

Do something! [crying]

Insult me, for crying out loud!

Uh, okay... Um, what's black and white and red all over?

That's not an insult, that's a riddle, you nincompoop.

-Oh. -[Tweeg crying]

When it comes to insults,

none of you can hold a burnt-out candle to L.B.

and Buffy.

Yeah, we miss them too, boss.

I discovered the power of the first crystal

when I plugged it into my artificial sunlight machine.

[beeping]

Oh, my!

Gimmick: It shrunk us smaller than, uh, Elves.

[screaming]

Grubby: And then Gimmick's pet Fob, Fuzz,

tried to have us for lunch,

but we got away. [laughs]

Teddy: If it hadn't been for the reducing machine,

we would never have been able to rescue the crystals from M.A.V.O.

[beeping]

Do all the crystals make things smaller?

No, just the first one.

The second one duplicates things.

Yeah, remember the time Gimmick duplicated me with it?

[machine rumbling]

Oh!

-Huh? -Huh?

Gimmick: And that discovery allowed us to duplicate soldiers

and save King Nogburt's kingdom from a Gutang invasion.

[crystal buzzing]

Teddy: And when you discovered the third crystal

made things invisible...

Oof!

-[Tweeg and L.B. gasp] -...that allowed us to rescue Fuzz.

[groaning]

[laughing]

-I remember that. -Gimmick: So do I.

That seemed to be our week for rescues.

[laughing]

Yes, we also rescued the crystals

from the bottom of Leekee Lake.

-Oh! -Gimmick: And you recovered Quellor's black box,

leading to the discovery of the seventh crystal.

I wonder if Quellor's found out that he doesn't have the seventh crystal anymore.

You see, my pets, the cracked crystal is gone!

If any of the M.A.V.O. morons discover this,

our power as Supreme Oppressor will be gone.

[squawking]

Ruxpin and his friends must have it.

They were last seen flying south from Bounder Pass

toward Rillonia.

Find them, my pets!

And bring the cracked crystal to me.

[laughter]

Are our newlyweds having an absolutely marvy time?

-Both: Yeah. -Don't worry, we can fix that.

Here's today's paper.

[grunts] Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy,

"The Grundo Gazette."

Wrong. It's "The Ying Yacker."

Oh, I love this place.

You wanna see the funnies, honey?

No, thanks. I'd rather you read it to me.

Well, now, let's see.

Dateline, M.A.V.O. HQ.

"Mrs. Maggotheart said today, 'We will not tolerate this lax behavior any longer.

Jack W. Tweeg, pay your dues or else.'"

So, what else is new?

Here's something else--

a report that Tweeg has lost his mind.

[scoffs] And they call that news?

A terrible monster had me trapped beneath the water.

I would have been done for if it hadn't been for the crystals.

[monster snarling]

So that's what the fourth crystal does-- it makes oxygen.

Burl: And that's where I become part of this amazing story.

Teddy: Yes, you saved me from the monster.

And then we found the incredible sub-water boat.

Gimmick: Yes, the sub-water boat proved quite useful

in solving the, uh, problem

of King Nogburt's mysterious drought.

Grubby: You mean, you meant to go fooling around in all those dangerous tunnels?

Oh, well, actually, the king and I became, uh,

[chuckles] lost.

[all laughing]

And all this time I thought you went exploring

and you just didn't want to take us along.

What else can the crystals do?

Well, the fifth crystal can make you move real slow.

Or real fast, if you've got quick-thinking friends. [chuckles]

[grumbling]

But the special discovery I made

is that the sixth crystal can fly.

If you accidentally spill orange juice on it.

[chuckles]

The crystals can do lots of wonderful things, Liza.

But I'm most grateful for the power of the seventh.

So am I, son.

Liza: What does it do?

Well, it has the power to erase a memory,

or restore it.

For ten years, I wandered through Grundo,

unable to remember my home or my wonderful family.

I would have stayed that way forever

had I not met three wonderful friends.

[crystal buzzing]

I-- I remember waving goodbye

to my beautiful wife, Ilana,

and our baby son.

Ilana?

And-- And what was your son's name?

My son's name... was Teddy.

Teddy: And that's why M.A.V.O. must never get possession of the crystals.

In their hands, their power would be used to spread evil across the land.

That's why I'll do everything I can to keep the crystals safe

for as long as I live.

Grubby: And I'll help ya, Teddy.

Gimmick: So will I.

Hmm...

[metal creaks]

[evil laughter]

Octopede child: But who could have made these, uh--

-Teddy: Crystals? -Yeah, who made them in the first place?

Teddy: Well, we don't know,

but maybe the answer's in this book.

I'll keep reading.

Teddy: "The seventh crystal made it possible..."

Wyma the Illiper: "...for the Kind Ones to store knowledge in a memory library.

In it, the achievements of this great civilization were recorded."

[excited chattering]

There's just a little more.

"But desolation and despair have swept the land."

Wyma the Illiper: "The dreaded Gutang warriors captured the Hard to Find City.

Even now, the Kind Ones are escaping.

Some head north, the remainder go south

with Theodore the Wise, leader of the city.

The seventh crystal has been stolen.

The six others are already in the hands of the Gutangs.

But Theodore holds the key.

Without his half of the medallion,

the Gutangs will never gain the power of the crystals.

Now I must flee.

Farewell on your southern journey, Theodore.

I will always remember your words:

'Only the pure of spirit will find the treasure of knowledge.'

Those words that are the heart and soul

of the great Illiop civilization."

All: Illiop civilization?!

Illiops invented the, uh, crystals?

Illiops built the Hard To Find City?

And that's where your medallion came from, son?

Well, it must be. The crystal book says that Theodore the Wise came south.

He must have settled here in Rillonia.

But the book also said that some Illiops went north.

Well, that means there might still be Illiops

somewhere in Grundo, or even Ying.

Oh, now, you must admit,

we've given you every opportunity

to knuckle down and pay your dues like everybody else.

This is your last chance.

Don't you see? No, I mean "seashells."

They were gold, but they turned into buttermilk.

Oh! [laughs] Okay, boys, get him!

Uh, ready when you are, Trudge.

No!

L.B.: Can we have a little less noise

for the returning of the newlyweds?

Oh, L.B., nice to see you.

Oh, and please accept my congratulations.

Thanks. Now, about this dues re-bop.

I think you'll find... this will cover it.

Oh! This will do nicely.

Oh, thank you, L.B.

-You can let him go, boys. -Yow!

And here's your receipt.

Uh-uh-uh. Not on the horn.

[laughing] As you wish.

Let's go, gang.

Hiya, boss, how's it going?

I'll never forget this, L.B.

Never!

Mwah! You came to my rescue in my hour of need.

[kisses]

You gave up all that gold for me.

Well, not quite.

-What do you mean? -Show him, Buffy.

We kept enough to pay ourselves and the boys what you owe us.

So, starting today, you get a clean slate.

Really? Hmm.

Well, in that case, do you suppose I could arrange a small loan?

With your credit rating? Forget it, Twank.

[laughing]

Once and for all, the name is Tweeg!

[all laughing]

Gee, Teddy, here I was thinking

our adventures were over for a while.

Actually, with our new discoveries,

it looks like they're just beginning.

That's right, Gimmick. We have to find out if there are other Illiops in Grundo.

And finally return all seven crystals to the Hard to Find City.

[grumbles]

[crystal buzzing]

[thunder cracks]

Teddy: That's why I'll do everything I can to keep the crystals safe.

Which won't be for long, Illiop!
