In the Grip of Evil
Is anyone there?
Antauri? Nova?
Where are you?
[SQUEAKING]
Maybe a better question is "where am I?"
Why does this all seem so familiar?
Have I been here before?
[GRUNTING]
You come to me every night, Chiro.
There is no escaping this world.
Who are you?
I am eternal.
I am your destruction.
Monkey team, help!
Help! [GRUNTS]

[MONKEYS CHATTERING]
[GRUNTING]
Monkey team!
Aaaaaaaaah!
[PANTING]
More nightmares, Chiro?
For almost a week now.
-What's happening to me?
-Worry not.
The mind is a tenuous puzzle box.
Much like dreams,
nightmares are only a reflection
of our hopes and fears,
many of them buried deep within us.
[ALARM BLARES]
CHIRO: Monkeys, mobilize!
[YAWNS] What time is it?
Shuggazoom's under attack?
No, we are.
And whatever it is has breached
the robots' hyper-armor.
[LAUGHING]
Out of all our countless cosmic conflicts,
we've never encountered entities
such as these before.
I have. In my nightmares.
Let's get them! Aah!
-Nova!
-Don't let them touch you.
Use your energy attacks.
Chiro sphero!
Scritch-scratch doom thrower!
There's something wrong here.
I sense it, too, Gibson.
Monkey mind scream!
[SCREECHES]
Sprx, Nova, sonic-twin attack!
Electro-vibraforce!
Sting ring!
Looks like we got them all.
[THUD]
And something still isn't right.
I know what it is. I'm still asleep.
We all are. Don't you get it?
We're all in a dream.
[LAUGHING]
Or perchance a nightmare?
Skeleton King, you're gone!
This must be a bad dream.
No. You are the dream, and I, the dreamer.
[CACKLING]
[ALL YELL]
[YELLING]
ALL: Whoa!
NOVA : This place looks familiar.
CHIRO: And yet so different.
ANTAURI: I don't believe
this is real at all, Chiro.
It is simply a mental projection.
[SCREECHING IN DISTANCE]
Is that a mental projection, too?
Lady tomahawk!
[SCREECHING]
Whew.
[SCREECHING]
[ALL YELL]
[CACKLING]
Stay back. You don't know
what you're dealing with here.
[ROARS]
[SCREAMS]
[HIGH-PITCHED SQUEALING]
[SQUEALS]
Thanks for your help.
You look familiar.
Do I know you?
I'm a friend, one you'll need
here in the Dreamlands.
The Dreamlands?
While your body sleeps,
your mind is trapped here
in the realms of what has come before.
Can you help us find our friends?
I can, but the way is long and perilous,
and time is short.
Come.
[ALL YELL]
[GRUNTS]
SPRX: Okay, I'm ready to go home now.
You know, I was thinking.
Maybe we're just dreaming
we're in a dream.
Scrapperton?
Interesting.
I believe this dreamworld
is sustained by our memories.
After all, everything we know
about reality
is simply a reflection of--
Sprx, Otto! Are you even listening to me?!
BOTH: Ahh.
Can we please pay attention?
I'm trying to explain how a memory
could aid in our escape.
Allow me to concentrate.
CHEETAH: Toodle-oo!
A cheetah with a mustache?
What's that all about?
I don't recall any memory of said cheetah.
Tallyho, my good chaps.
I was curious if I could perchance
have a spot to eat.
What do you want to eat?
You.
[ALL SCREAM]
This place goes on forever.
-Is there any way out?
-there is a doorway.
A portal that bridges
this world to the waking world.
Is it far?
As far away as yesterday
and yet as close as tomorrow.
Yeesh. He talks like you, Antauri.
I believe he means this door
is simply another memory.
[THUNDER CRASHES]
[GASPS]
Do you understand nothing?!
I am master of this world.
-Monkey boom!
-Aah!
Abomination!
There is nothing you can do to stop me,
you pathetic
[YELLS]
NOVA: You monster!
[BOTH YELL]
[SKELETON KING LAUGHS]
Get away from them!
[SKELETON KING LAUGHS]
Your end is nigh, chosen one.
Hurry! faster!
Magna-tingler blast!
[BLOWS]
We gotta get out of this dream!
And back into the real world.
We've got bigger problems ahead.
[THUNDER CRASHING]
[LAUGHING]
[GRUNTING]
[YELLS]
Chiro!
I'm okay.
Help the others.
I just rebooted your cerebrum,
so you should feel a little better, Nova.
I feel like I got hit on the head
by a planetoid.
It's good to see you.
My thanks, Gibson.
Just like , he's gone.
Gone. But not forgotten.
Who is this guy?
That's what I'd like to know.
I was an alchemist,
one who merges science and magic.
I tried to create the ultimate force
for good.
I was about to succeed when he--
[THUNDER CRASHES]
Oh, no.
He has already regained strength.
He is coming!
Go now!
SKELETON KING:
When all is fire and brimstone,
and the world howls like a rabid beast,
the universe will be mine!
[LAUGHING]
[ALL YELL]
[ALL YELL]
[SHOUTING INCANTATION]
That was way too close.
[RUMBLING]
My magic won't last. It's up to you now.
Only your combined will
has the power to free yourselves.
Concentrate! Dream the door!
The way home, my friends.
[GRUNTS]
No, young hero.
This is not for you to open.
What's wrong?
I can't do it.
Whatever's inside,
it's something I don't want to remember.
I find myself quite frightened.
It's our only way out. You must.
I'm gonna regret this.
[SIGHS]
What is this place?
Antauri, Gibson Someone explain.
Our friend appears to have
become a part of this dream.
What's with the monkey babies?
[SCREECHES]
They look like us?
They are us!
And why don't I remember this?
Your programming is complete,
my monkey team.
You are everything I hoped you'd be.
Only one thing remains to be done.
AUTOMATED VOICE: Initiating memory erase.
[ALARM BLARING]
I don't want to lose my memory! Please!
Forgive me, dearest Nova.
I won't forget you.
But it's imperative that you forget me.
This is what we were supposed to forget,
but no memory can be erased entirely.
It was a nightmare.
But why?
Because of what I was becoming.
I created you to protect the universe
from a great evil:
Myself! Ha-ha-ha!
Oh, no. No!
Yes, I was once a mortal creature,
weak with noble goodness.
I thought myself a hero.
I was a fool!
You made the monkey team?
No!
My pathetic human side
made these filthy primates.
[CREATURE SCREECHES]
Ironic that now I will un-make them.
Never!
[CHANTING]
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS]
He's more powerful than ever.
This ends now.
-Aah!
-You're goin' down, wing head!
-Aah!
-Knuckle duster!
Huh?
Aah!
-Aaah!
-Hey, Skeleton King!
All too easy.
Playtime is over, my little simians.
Time to go back to sleep
forever.
-Whoa!
-Ha-ha-Ha!
Sleep, of course.
We've broken the seal,
passed beyond the door.
-We're free!
-Monkey team, wake up! wake up!
You will not escape.
No!
[GRUNTING]
ANTAURI: Wake up, Chiro! Chiro!
Aah!
Wake up, Chiro.
-Wake up.
-[GASPS] huh?
[HISSES]
Not so powerful in the real world.
This is only the beginning.
I'll return more powerful than ever!
And we'll be waiting.
The nightmare is over.
Skeleton King is gone for now.
I still can't believe the old bag of bones
created us.
No. The man he was, the good man,
that's who created us.
The question is "why?"
Why did an obviously good soul
embrace such ruthless evil?
The morning holds many
unanswered questions, Gibson.
The truth will remain a mystery. For now.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Antauri? Nova?
Where are you?
[SQUEAKING]
Maybe a better question is "where am I?"
Why does this all seem so familiar?
Have I been here before?
