Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! (2004) s03e04 Episode Script
A Ghost in the Machinder
CHIRO:
Set new course for the Deagon System.
If the Skeleton King worm is anywhere,
it's got to be there.
Strange.
The Super Robot's not responding.
NOVA:
It just put us on a new course.
Let's check out the navigation system.
Maybe it's down.
It's not the computers.
You're not gonna believe this,
but the Super Robot's overriding
our commands.
[BEEPING]
You're saying it'sthinking for itself?
Perhaps there's more to the robot
than meets the eye.
You got to be kidding me, Antauri.
I mean, it's a machine.
It's probably just broken.
Agreed.
Technically speaking, machines
can only appear to be alive.
Appearances can be deceiving.
Uh, what you see is what you get.
Machines cannot have a soul.
[ALARM SOUNDS]
What is that?
I don't know, but it's gearing up to fire!
[ALL YELLING]
SPRX:
It's got us in the tractor beam!
[THEME SONG PLAYING]
CHIRO: While exploring the outskirts
of the city,
I discovered an abandoned Super Robot.
It was then my life was transformed
by the mysterious Power Primate.
The Robot Monkeys were awakened,
and I, Chiro, made their leader.
Our quest: Save Shuggazoom City

[MONKEYS CHATTERING]
Otto, stabilize the robot.
[GRUNTING]
Yeah, I think this should do it.
[ALARM SOUNDS]
What is that thing, Gibson?
GIBSON:
Life signs are negative,
so I would theorize
that it's some type of automated craft.
It may believe us hostile.
Us, hostile?
That thing looks like some kind
of terminating deathroid
bent on blowing up the cosmos!
Don't jump to conclusions, SPRX.
Perhaps we should attempt to communicate.
What do you want to do,
make friends with it?
Attention, exploration craft.
We are the Super Robot
Monkey Team hyperforce.
We are not your enemy.
[STATIC]
Greetings, Hyperforce.
I am VX-808 Modulant
Computer Tracking Probe
from the Talis star system.
Why do you have your tractor beam
locked on to us?
Because you are from the planet
Shuggazoom, of course.
NOVA:
What is that supposed to mean?
This is starting to freak me out.
Whoa. Pretty neat.
I've never seen mesotechnology
like this before.
[CHIRPING]
Is that what I think it is?
It's Skeleton King's Droid TV monster.
The probe must have picked it up
along the way.
Allow me to clarify why you are here.
I am the last survivor
of an advanced race of mechanical life.
You mean, your people are all machines?
Correct. Were machines, but no longer.
An undead entity from your world
has destroyed our planet.
Skeleton King.
We were tracking him down
when you intercepted us.
As I am now intercepting everything
that comes from Shuggazoom
and neutralizing it.
But we're after Skeleton King too!
All organic life that has come into
contact with Skeleton King is corrupt.
It must beeliminated.
Everyone to their posts. Hyperforce, go!
Full power, team. Let's get out of here.
Firing Eye Beams.
Aim for the computer brain.
Launching Mega-missiles now.
This probe thing is too powerful.
OTTO:
It's got us!
Can'tbreakfree!
Ugh! It's hacking our controls.
Split into vehicle mode, team.
No can do.
That machine's overriding our systems.
We're toast.
[CRACKLING]
[WHIRRING]
[SCREECHING]
[ALL YELLING]
[METAL CREAKING]
The robot!
No!
What is this? What are you doing?
PROBE:
Discovering what you are, flesh entity.
Robotic simians are interesting,
but virtually useless.
Much the same for the flesh entity.
You will all be disposed of.
Disposed of?
[ALL YELLING]
Monkey Team!
You, one called "Antauri,"
are the exception.
You are 100% machine.
You may be of some use to me.
[ALL YELLING]
Antauri!
[ALL YELLING]
What's that smell?
Ugh! Where are we?
It appears to be some form of
[SNIFFS]
waste disposal unit.
Oh, great. We're gonna get trashed?
Not trashed. Recycled into organic fuel.
But please remain calm.
I will assimilate
your more useful robotic parts.
Ha, I got something you can assimilate.
You freaky probe.
Indeed. Goodbye, flesh entities.
[YELLS]
Yaaaah!
The trash can's invulnerable.
I can't cut through.
If only Antauri were here.
He didn't put up much of a fight.
He's probably pals with that probe by now.
No way, Sprx.
It's Antauri we're talking about here.
He's our friend, remember?
We gotta get out of here!
[BEEPING]
Oh, at last I have some company!
I've been missing conversation.
Uh, okay.
But we need to get out of here.
Do you know a way?
Indeed, I do.
But you're not gonna like it.
[METAL CLANGING]
[GLASS AND METAL CRASHING]
[MACHINE BEEPING]
I'm free! Free!
-Watch it, Gibson!
-Sorry!
NOVA:
Come on, you two.
Letmego!
Struggle is futile, Antauri.
Your phasing ability has been nullified,
your powers deactivated.
Release my friends.
Skeleton King is our enemy as well.
Logic dictates you will say anything
to keep your friends from destruction.
And I must destroy all organic life.
Don't you see?
By destroying life,
you're becoming what you hate the most:
Skeleton King!
[STATIC]
Skeleton King?
System error! System error!
You're infected by some kind of virus.
Your system is being corrupted
by TV monster.
Preposterous!
TV monster has been deactivated.
Observe.
[STATIC]
No!
Can't you see? It still lives!
Machines do not live.
We are simple servants of our programming.
Unfortunately, your program is flawed.
What are you doing?
Aaah!
Assimilating you into my core
central processing unit.
Soon, your knowledge will be added
to my own.
[GRUNTING]
Aaaaah!
Whoa!
Otto, contact Antauri.
He's not responding.
Don't you get it? He's gone.
He probably joined up with the probe.
[COMM BEEPING]
Wait, I'm getting a response.
[CONTINUES BEEPING]
And it's not from Antauri.
Jumping gigawatts!
It's from the Super Robot!
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
Fascinating.
The machine has revitalized itself.
Its programming must be quite advanced.
[GRUNTING]
Mark my words
The robot will stop you.
So you have discovered a will.
Interesting.
A will that shall soon be broken.
[BEEPING]
You are more intelligent
than I anticipated.
You are terminated, robot.
[METAL CLANGING]
Yahoo!
Organics, your machines are resisting me.
Perhaps you should witness their defeat.
I didn't even know
the Super Robot had those things.
Me neither.
It is not over yet, machine.
[BEEPING]
Can you not understand, robot?
Organic life was but an evolutionary step.
Only mechanical existence matters.
[GRUNTING]
Observe.
Your companions will soon be nothing more
than fuel and scrap metal.
End of the line, team.
There is no need to fight for survival.
Your robot vessel is finished.
Oh, no!
And your mechanical companion
is soon to be assimilated.
Antauri!
I'm so sorry, team.
Aah!
Leave him alone!
Soon he will be a part of me,
as will you all!
One last hope.
[GRUNTING]
What?!
How is this possible?
[WHIRRING]
If you are not a machine,
the only logical conclusion is
Impossible!
Unh! Can'tholdon.
OTTO:
Chiro!
Gibson, I want to take back all the mean
things I've ever said about you--
Well, most of them. And Nova Nova?
Yeah, Sprx?
I I just have to say I
[WHIRRING STOPS]
Am I glad to see you!
Sprx!
There must be a way
to defeat your Super Robot.
The secret must reside
in your mechanical brain.
And I will remove that secret.
Let him go! Aaaah!
Interloper!
Aaaah!
[YELLS]
System crash imminent.
System crash imminent.
There is no escape.
System crash imminent.
System crash imminent.
The probeIs finished.
Don't worry, Antauri. I gotcha.
NOVA:
Look, the brain's ejecting!
OTTO:
Uh-oh.
That thing's activated to self-destruct!
Four seconds to detonation!
I'm getting us out of here!
It's gaining on us!
GIBSON:
System shutdown imminent.
We're overheating!
[ALL YELLING]
Well, I've checked it top to bottom,
And the Super Robot doesn't have
any protective programming.
And it wasn't a malfunction, either.
I have to agree with you, Otto.
The Super Robot never flew off course.
It simply knew that we were going
in the wrong direction.
What? How is that possible?
Maybe Antauri was right.
Maybe the Super Robot really is more
than just a machine.
Life, even mechanical life,
is always full of surprises.
Okay, I'm gonna go for broke
and be the first to admit it.
You were wrong, Gibson.
I was wrong? But it was you who said--
That machines could have a soul.
I know I did. And, yep, you were wrong.
Yep, wrong.
ANTAURI:
And it's okay to be wrong, Sprx?
Once in a while.
I want to know more
about this Super Robot.
I mean, how does it think?
What makes it alive?
Does it know who created it?
ANTAURI:
These are all valid questions, Chiro.
And in the end, doesn't it make you ask
the same questionsabout yourself?
Only mechanical existence matters.
[SLURRED]
Organic life
Only mechanical existence matters.
[MURMURING]
No soul.
Organic life.
Rationalization

Aaaah!
