[zOOM CHEERS]
[zOOM CHUCKLES]
Time to jet, guys. Gotta get to the portal and lock this zone down.
[HORN HONKS]
Incoming.
[KALUS GRUNTS]
[HATCH LAUGHS]
[HATCH GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
[HATCH SCREAMS]
[ALL GRUNTING]
This zone brings a whole new meaning to the term "hot pursuit."
[GRUNTS]
zoom, look out for Sever.
[SEVER GRUNTS]
Yep, saw him.
zoom, Kroc on your left.
[KROCOMODO GRUNTS]
Yep, saw him too.
VERT: Loose the 'tude, just get that key through the portal.
Oh, relax, Vert. I got the situation under control.
[zOOM GRUNTS]
Go, sub-creature, retreat to the portal. Coward.
Huh?
[KALUS GRUNTS]
[BRAKES SCREECH]
Catch you in the next one, Kalus.
- zoom, look out for-- - What now, Sherman?
[SCREAMS]
zoom!
[zOOM GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
Be sure to squirm, foolish worm.
[KALUS LAUGHS]
I like seeing you squirm.
[zOOM GRUNTING]
[GRUNTS]
[BRAKES SCREECHING]

Battle Force 5, rescue protocol.
[KALUS YELLS]
[HATCH GRUNTS]
For the glory of Kalus.
Got you.
[ALL GRUNTING]
[HATCH SCREAMING]
[GRUNTS]
Anyone have a giant squeegee?
[LAUGHS THEN GRUNTS]
[zOOM GRUNTS]
[KROCOMODO GROWLS]
[YELLING]
[SCREAMS]
[BOTH GRUNT]
zoom, you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
- I'm good. - Then let's hit that portal.
[ROARS]
VERT: How many times do I have to tell you, zoom...
...get the key, you head straight for the portal.
Man, I hate lectures.
That little stunt you pulled didn't just put you in danger...
...it put the entire world in danger.
What if Kalus have grabbed the battlekey?
I don't give orders just to boss people around, zoom.
Then what's the point of giving orders?
zOOM: Look, I get it, Vert.
We can't take our responsibilities lightly.
Hmm.
[SHERMAN SLURPS]
[SPINNER GRUNTS]
Anchovies. How can you eat those things?
Because they are delicious.
You're just never willing to try new food.
What? Of course I am. Watch.
Ew.
[GRUNTS]
[MUFFLED GRUNTING]
[GAGGING]
[SLURPING]
[PANTING]
[ALL LAUGHING]
Like you enjoyed that.
I ate it, didn't I?
I could eat grosser foods than you any day.
Heh, bring it on.
Oh, it's on, all right.
[BELL RINGS]
Huh?
Check it out. Kind of strange, don't you think?
Hmm. Someone strange in Handler Corners should fit right in.
I wonder what he's looking for.
You're looking for zoom? Heh, he's right over there.
[GASPS]
[ALL GRUNTING]
STANFORD: Watch it. VERT: Hey.
zoom. Let's go, guys.
Gotta shake him.
Or we could shake him up.
[AGURA GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]
[YELLS]
[GRUNTS]
Now, do you wanna tell us why you're following our friend?
- Watch out. - No, Spinner.
[BOTH GRUNT]
Hey.
[ALL GRUNTING]
SPINNER: Hey, hey. zOOM: Stop.
Stop.
He's just a kid.
His name is zen.
Greetings from the Order of the Flying Fists.
The Flying Fists? I have all their albums.
Ha! Do your feet fly too? Wa-ka!
- Ah. - Oops.
VERT: Uh, let me get this straight.
You were sent here by the Order of the Flying Fists...
...to bring zoom back because he's some sort of chosen one?
The chosen one, Master Takiyasu's prize student.
[GROANS]
[CHUCKLES]
Cool board. Nice mods.
Forget the mods, I'd like to hear more about zoom.
zoom abandoned the order...
...abandoned his responsibility to protect the Blue Flame.
Well, I got a bigger responsibility now, kicking alien butt--
[SHRIEKS]
Heh, because real aliens don't exist. Mm-mm.
Funny little guy, aren't you?
zEN: Unh! - Ow! Ow! Uncle.
Master Takiyasu was hung up with the ancient ways.
His school was too old school.
His school provides enlightenment.
[BONE SNAPS AND STANFORD GRUNTS]
Ha! Enlightenment?
All you guys do is meditate and eat rice 24/7.
And you never leave the compound.
The world's a big place, you should check it out sometime.
STANFORD: Ugh. - It is time to go home, zoom.
Incredible.
I'm sorry, zen, I'm not going back.
[ENGINE REVS]
I cannot let him out of my sight.
Well, you're gonna have to, zen. Let's go, guys.
[GRUNTS]
I made a few mods of my own.
[LAUGHS]
[zOOM GRUNTING]
I think the tires give up.
It's not fair. All I wanted was a new life.
The ancient ways are so ancient.
If you don't wanna go back, then don't go back.
Just say the word and we'll send your buddy, zen, packing.
Ah, it's not that easy.
I bailed on the order.
And, back home, I bailed on a lot of other things.
And you wanna do the right thing.
Ha. You're always telling me not to take responsibility lightly.
SAGE [OVER PA]: Stormshock portal opening in T-minus-2 minutes.
I'm sensing unusual energy patterns.
It is possible you may be entering a rare sentient energy zone.
[GRUNTS]
Hey.
Ah, great.
[GASPS]
AGURA: Careful, guys.
These pipes look pretty volatile.
SHERMAN: It appears that the blue conduits...
...contain matter and the red ones antimatter.
And seeing as antimatter destroys matter--
We shouldn't touch the red stuff. Got you.
All right, guys, let's find the key.
STANFORD: Uh, before we do that...
...we might wanna take care of a little problem.
You are in a meditative state.
All of this is merely an illusion.
Oh!
Okay, it's real, but you can't tell anyone about it, okay?
Here's the deal, zen, we call ourselves the Battle Force 5.
When a stormshock opens, like the one we just came through--
We enter, find this thing called the battlekey and take it back to Earth...
...so we can lock the zone.
And if we don't, the Earth gets taken over by giant mutant animals...
...or killer robots.
We're inter-dimensional heroes.
Uh, I feel completely overwhelmed.
That's your best overwhelmed?
Guys, I got the key's location.
Let's move out. zen, you ride with Stanford.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. This little pinche is not riding in the Reverb. No way.
I will ride with zoom.
No, you'll ride with Stanford.
- I need zoom free to do his thing. - Ugh.
And in the zone, I'm the master.
As you wish.
You ready, Spin?
Stinky cheese.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[CHUCKLES]
Yum-yum-yum.
[BOTH GAG]
[SINGING] Baby
B-B-Baby
[SCREAMS]
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
[MEDITATIVE MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Excuse me, this is my ride. I get to choose the music.
We do not choose our own music, Stanford...
...the music chooses us.
[GROANS]
[AIR HISSES]
[SNIFFS]
[STANFORD HUMMING]
You passed gas, didn't you?
Get used to it.
SPINNER: Here it is, Sherm.
Whoever drinks this is the winner.
Tuna-fish milkshake.
Whoa, that is gross.
I'm out.
Well, then, looks like I take the prize.
I knew you'd fold.
Ugh.
[SPINNER GROANS]
Guys, we got company.
Vandals at 12 o'clock.
[GROWLING]
- Destroy them. - Ha, ha.
[GROWLS]
[GRUNTS]
Stanford, protect zen.
[HATCH GRUNTS]
Too slow, Hatch.
[GROWLING]
Uh-oh.
[HATCH SCREAMS]
Yes.
[BOTH GRUNT]
I like living on the edge, but this is a little much.
Don't worry, zen, you're safe with-- Huh?
[GRUNTING]
Blimey, the little guy's got some moves.
zOOM [OVER RADIO]: Zen, get back in the Reverb.
STANFORD: Yeah, get back in the Reverb.
You need to teach me those moves.
Feel the wrath of my Riptile.
[GROWLS]
[zEN GRUNTS]
[zEN YELLS]
[BOTH SCREAM]
[BOTH GRUNT]
zoom.
Vandals, regroup and find the battlekey.
[zEN GRUNTING]
[GRUNTING]
zen, are you okay?
My body is unbroken, my mind clear.
- And? - And?
Uh, maybe a "thank you, zoom, for saving me from the jaws of death"?
You performed a defensive maneuver that I appreciate...
...but you rely too much on technology.
Your Muay Thai skills had become rusty, slow.
[GROWLS]
[zOOM GRUNTING]
Had you stayed in the order and mastered your technique...
...you would have been able to avoid the energy beam.
Ah, come on.
[zOOM GRUNTING]
No amount of training could have prepared me for that. Unh!
A true warrior of the Flying Fist hits with the strength of a lion...
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GROANS]
...but the grace of a hummingbird.
Ah, another reason I left the order, the cheesy proverbs.
Not bad for a little kid.
Your irrational behavior proves to me that I need to take you home.
I can't go home, the BF5 need me.
[RADIO BEEPS]
Vert, anyone, come in.
[STATIC BUzzlNG OVER RADIO]
- zoom-- - Listen, I gotta get that battlekey...
...find everyone, and kick some Vandal butt.
You can come or you can stay, your choice.
SHERMAN: I've got a lock on the battlekey.
- What about zoom? - And, uh, zen?
Unh, there's too much interference.
zoom's signal keeps fading in and out before I can pinpoint it.
We should head to the battlekey. zoom's probably on his way there.
VERT: Good idea. Rev and roll.
zOOM: The key's somewhere around here.
I admire your loyalty to your friends, zoom.
Yeah, they're cool. They've got my back, I've got theirs.
There was a time when we had each other's backs...
...and then you left.
I looked up to you, wanted to be like you.
All the warriors did.
You were the chosen one.
Ah, you're right, zen.
I bailed on the order, I bailed on you.
I wish I could change that.
You can, by coming home.
zOOM: Hey, the battlekey.
The battlekey is mine.
- No. - Onward to Earth.
[ALL LAUGH]
We have to stop them.
We should find the others first.
zOOM: There's no time. The Vandals could make it to Earth.
Then we must fight together, like we used to.
I have got your back.
And I've got yours.
zen, after we get the key, I'm going back with you.
SHERMAN: I managed to boost our comm links and scanners.
- We should be able to talk to zoom. - zoom, do you read?
- zoom? zOOM: Vert, Kalus has the battlekey.
VERT: Sherman, do we have their coordinates?
SHERMAN: Yeah, but we won't be able to catch them before they hit the portal.
Great, we've lost zoom, zen and the battlekey.
[OVER RADIO] We're done for.
Stanford, you only feel the need to express defeat so quickly...
...because of some deep childhood insecurity.
Insecurity? What could I possibly be insecure about?
[CHILDREN LAUGHING]
Okay, okay.
But do you know what it's like to get picked last...
...every single time on the polo field?
Now is the time to prove them wrong, Stanford.
Yes!
Time to put my tragic polo past behind me.
AGURA: Yeah. Well, you do that.
zoom, do your best to stall the Vandals until we get there.
Master zen, I'm on my way.
Forward, Vandals.
zen, I'm thinking of mixing your old school with my new school...
...to school the Vandals.
Hold on.
[GRUNTING]
[YELLS]
What a strange-looking meat creature.
[LAUGHS]
[GRUNTS]
[ALL SCREAM]
Nice, the old mantis clutch.
[ALL GRUNTING]
[BOTH YELLING]
[KALUS GROWLS]
Prepare to meet your doom.
[CHANTING] Om.
Om. Om....
We need more speed.
If the Vandals make it through, we'll need to defend the flats.
Especially zeke's diner.
They're not getting my za.
That place will be a magnet for the Vandals.
- That's it, big bro. - What did I say?
SHERMAN: The energy in these pipes is the perfect conductor.
We can latch on with our battlekey magnets.
AGURA: Like a monorail? - The Battle Force 5 express.
Okay.
Lightning speeds and tuna-fish milkshakes...
[GAGS]
...not a good combo.
[VANDALS CACKLING]
- Do you remember the double tornado kick? - Yes.
Drive them into the energy.
- Do it. - Destroy them.
[zEN GRUNTS]
[GASPS]
Impossible. They're concentrating the energy around themselves.
[ALL GRUNT]
[GRUNTS]
Yeah.
[GRUNTS]
Whoa.
[zOOM GRUNTS]
[zOOM CHUCKLES]
[GASPS]
- Feel the power of my music, Kalus. - Huh?
[MEDITATIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
Be at one with its energy.
[SCREAMING]
zoom, zen, are you okay?
I see you have found your hummingbird after all?
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah.
Battle Force 5, let's take this baby home.
Pizza is on me tonight.
Please, don't say "pizza."
Pizza.
[RETCHING]
VERT: Ah, another battlezone bites the dust.
Thanks for all the help, zen. We'll be sad to see you go.
I'm going with him.
BOTH: Huh?
I made a promise to the order. I can't turn my back on my responsibilities.
Actually, zoom, your place and your responsibilities lie here.
I now understand that you have been chosen for a higher calling.
Uh, you mean, I get to stay here and keep Vandal and zurk butt?
You must promise me you will stay here and kick Vandal and zurk butt.
[GONG CLANGS]
ALL: Huh?
If you need another chosen one, Master zen...
...I'm always available.
[GRUNTING]
[BONES CRACK]
- Aah! - Um...
As the wise Master Takiyasu would say:
"No. A thousand times, no."
Whoa, whoa. The Order of the Flying Fist needs me.
But I shaved my fohawk.
[SPINNER CHUCKLES]
Enlightenment is overrated anyway.
