01x11 - Demon in the Deep

Post by bunniefuu »

Professor Gamma, this is Reed Richards of

the Fantastic Four. We have come in the

name of the free nations of the world to

take you and your henchmen to justice and

destroy Island X. You haven't a

chance. Please surrender peaceably.

All right. If it's a fight you want...

Torch! Thing, Sue! Plan

B, attack! Flame on!

Let's go, Sue.

So much for the heavy a*tillery. Now to

warm this tank up a bit to coax those

Jokers out of there.

We give up! No more heat! We

surrender!

You clowns are gonna have to do better

than that. Oh, Benny eats this kind

of popcorn for snacks.

It's clobbering time.

You boys don't know when to quit.

Okay, no more nice guy.

Come on out and take your medicine, g*ng.

You won't be needing these behind bars.

Quick, turn on the hose. We'll knock the

torch out of the sky. That's why I'm

around, you won't. Hey, the hose is

jumping out of my hand by itself. I'm

giving up. Thanks, sis. I think we need

rounding up the rest of them.

I caught one of them sending an SOS radio

message to Professor Gamma. You mean the

big fish got away?I'm afraid that part of

our assignment will have to wait, Ben. We

have to ship this pack of international

criminals back to the countries where

they wanted for various crimes. Then we

ought to destroy Island X and all the

stolen weapons on it. There's a tow ship

of international police about two miles

offshore, waiting to take those criminals

in. So move the UCAR a safe distance

offshore and signal all ships to stay

clear of this area. Johnny, let's you

and I give this place a once-over. Check,

Reed. Way more!

Professor Gamma's supposed to have a

secret laboratory around here somewhere.

Professor Gamma has a brilliant mind.

It's too bad he couldn't use it to help

humanity, instead of scheming to dominate

the oceans with his modern-day pirates.

Professor Gamma to Island Bakes.

Professor Gamma to Island X. Come

in, Island X. Have you defeated

invaders?Sorry to disappoint you,

Professor. This is Reese Richards of the

Fantastic Four. Your g*ons are on

their way to prison, and we're about to

destroy your island arsenal. Never!

I'm coming back to my island, and I'll

destroy the Fantastic Four if it's the

last thing I know. Johnny,

I'm afraid the Professor isn't going to

give up without a fight. I think I know

why, Reed. Follow me, and I'll show you.

See

what I mean, Reed?You're right, Johnny.

With these missiles, the Professor could

blow up most of the world. Let's get this

demolition job over with right now.

Roger. Here comes Ben with the demo

charges. I'll seal up the top of the

crater while you two plant the

expl*sives. These ought to be some

fireworks.

Mission accomplished, Reed. How are you

and old Stoneface doing?I'll give 'em old

Stoneface. You get all the glamour

jobs, hot shot, but you still need the

ever-loving thing to do the heavyweight.

Sometimes I think you guys keep me around

here just to do the hauling like a bank

mule. Take it easy, Ben. Johnny was only

kidding. This is the last charge. Let's

move out and sink this island.

Okay, Zu, push the remote control

detonator. And hold your ears. An

atomic blast. There must have been a

primitive A-b*mb in one of those m*ssile

warheads.

My communications with Island X has been

completely broken. I must get back

before they discover my secret arsenal.

It should be straight ahead, but there's

no sign of it on the TV show.

Just that small bit of rock jumping out.

I've struck something. No,

they couldn't have destroyed my island,

my life's work. I must escape through the

torpedo tube.

Those are cursed Fantastic Four will pay

for this. Ruined! All of it

ruined! Those fools, they've ruined

a lifetime of work and research. But

what's happening?The

radioactivity from the nuclear warhead I

developed and my atomic equipment,

it must have affected the area.

It's transforming me.

I must escape. I feel

so strange, my oxygen.

Must get rid of the mask. Need

water?

That's better. I'm able to

exist beneath the water without air.

But I've turned into some sort of sea

monster. I can sh**t for

power like... Like a

stingray. Gamma, the

brilliant professor. Gamma, who

had once have ruled the world, is no

more. Fantastic Four,

beware of the awesome powers of the

Gabba ray.

While Johnny's getting over the effects

of the gamma ray expl*si*n, we'd better

start our search for Professor Gamma.

My guess is that his sub is somewhere in

these waters. But the kid is still not

strong enough to join the search. That

means Suzy better stay here and keep an

eye on him while you and I move out after

Gamma in EU car. I can take care of

myself. Johnny! You're not well, Johnny.

You shouldn't be up. You've held up the

search long enough, kid. Now go back to

bed. No need for anyone to look after me.

I've taken all I can from all of you.

Especially you, Fang. I'm getting out of

this group. I'm through with a Fantastic

Four, understand?Through! You're

delirious, Torch. You need rest. What I

need is a vacation from all of you.

Permanently!

Quick bend! The door is locked! Step

aside, Stretcho. Coming through!

He's gone! Oh, Reed! Johnny's gone!

He's probably just pulling a grandstand

play. We've got to let him work this out

on his own. But in the meantime, we got a

job to do. Get Professor

Gamma right to the UCAR on the

double!

This is one place where I can lose myself

in the crowd. Might as well find a place

to sack down. This one is no worse than

the rest. Tomorrow, I'll find a job. Or

maybe ship out on a boat.

I tell you, mate, I've seen a lot of

strange sights in my life. But I swear I

never saw a creature like the one that

attacked our ship yesterday. Ah, you were

probably seeing things. I never heard of

no half-man and half-sea creatures,

except in fairy tales. You don't have to

believe me. There's plenty others on

board who saw it. Leap out of the water

and cut the main mast in half with this

power ray.

A lightning bolt that he shot from his

flipper-type hand. Besides that, the

devil of a creature spoke to us.

Something about Beware the wrath of the

gamma ray. Did you say gamma ray?

Aye, that I did, lad. Listen, this is

very important. I must see this creature.

How can I get out to that area where you

saw it?You must take me there. I

must be out of my mind, but I'll do it,

lad. There's a whaler going out tomorrow

to the very same area. It best be getting

some shut eye. We say

We've covered the entire area between the

last radio contact with Professor

Gamler's sub and Island X. We

dare not go any closer to the

contaminated waters, Reed. She's right,

Strengthy. I think our big fish got away.

The radiation from the expl*si*n has

dissipated to a safe enough degree. We

must finish our search. I feel certain

Professor Gamma returned to this area.

I'm taking us in as close as possible.

Wait a minute. I think maybe we hit the

jackpot. Flip on the video scope,

Susie.

Well, greedy boy, there's our

answer! Gamma might have been a criminal

genius, but as a sailor, he was

no Captain Nemo. I guess we can

call the search ended. I suppose you're

right. But somehow I can't believe that

Gamma is no longer a threat.

These are the very waters where we

sighted the monster, lad. And I don't

like the way they're churning right now!

What's that?Coming out of the water?

Now, do you believe me?That's the very

monster! Yes, yes

If that monster is who I think it is...

There's only one way to find out. Flame

on!

Just as I had hoped, word of my power has

lured the Fantastic Four out into my

battleground.

I don't know what happened to you, Gamma,

but I'm glad to be the one to bring you

in. Now

you shall pay for what you've done to me.

Where are your friends, Torch?Are

they letting you sacrifice yourselves to

save their hides?Perish!

You don't know when to quit, fish face.

Test this. The human torch

possesses more power than I suspected.

I need time to recharge my

powers. Time to think.

What?What is right

here in the murky depths?

The gigantic slumbering beast of the

deep. It must be my

destiny to bring it to life again and

plot it to do my bidding. I

must!

Awake! Awake, my pet!

There is work to be done. I

love thee giganto. And

I, whoever waked you am your

master. Nothing can stop me now.

Attack! Attack! Look

out! The monster! He's returning!

I fear something even worse.

Oh, no! Abandon ship!

We're too small for him to notice. He's

heading towards the mainland. The

emergency radio's working, sir. I'm too

soaked to flame on. But there's one thing

I can do. I

only hope they spot it. I only hope our

message is heard in time.

It sounds like a hoax. But we can't be

sure. I know it sounds impossible, but...

Nowadays, nothing is impossible. Call out

the National Guard, evacuate the city,

and keep trying to reach the Fantastic

Four!

Don't panic! Just keep moving!

Move up quickly, men. Line up the heavy

equipment along the waterfront. No

telling when that monster whale will

attack.

I was never so glad to see you. Even you,

Ben. We've got to stop Gamma

and his monster from destroying New York.

But Gamma was... I'll fill you in on the

way to New York. No time to waste. And

so the radioactivity around Island X must

have altered Professor Gamma. He's become

some sort of undersea creature and calls

himself Gamma Ray. He has powers that

can mean a lot of trouble. He somehow has

control of this prehistoric whale

monster. And they're out to get us and

New York. Not if we can get there first.

When I get my mitts on. We may be

too late. Look!

No time to lose. Zoo radio ahead for them

to cease-fire. Ben, get this thing

airborne. Johnny! I spent that fact,

Reed. You've got to let me into this

battle. Please! Okay, Charlie, go

towards. Bring him on!

Make sure he is still hot, Sean.

a*tillery doesn't faze him. Perhaps I

can confuse him with a steam cloud until

the others get here.

Ah, I'm through toying with them.

I shall demonstrate the like of Giganto

and bring the Fantastic Four to their

knees.

He's momentarily stunned. When he wakes

up, he'll wreck all of New York if he's

not stopped. Plan this thing, reedy boy!

I got me an IC! What is it, Zane?

What can you do?

A ten-ton blockbuster is strapped to his

back. I still can't believe it! The area

around the monster has been cleared. Good

luck, Zane! Relax, boys.

I'm no hero. I'll be back. Just

watch. Be careful, Ben! Don't

worry, Ben. All I gotta do is slip

through that Joker's teeth and get

inside, set the timer on this

firecracker, then get out before it goes

off! Yeah, that's all I

gotta do.

He's resting. Good thing this overgrown

mackerel sleeps with his mouth open.

Well, here goes nothing.

It sure is an airy feeling for a

heavyweight like me, not even disturbing

this monster.

That does it. Now, if I could only get

out of here before Sleeping Beauty

decides to wake up and close his mouth.

He did it. Hooray! The monster

is dead!

Josh Reed, is he hurt?I didn't think

anything could stun this big gorilla. Set

him down easy, Johnny. He's coming too

now. I hate to say a thing, but

I'm proud of you. We all are, Ben.

Big deal. That and a dime will get me a

cup of coffee. Look!Coming out of the

water. Quick, Sue, your force field.

You destroyed my sea

creature! For that, you shall

perish.

Good work, Sue. She

can't hold off my power long, Richards.

It's only a matter of moments. He's

right, Reed. I don't know how long I can

withstand his force. You won't have to

hold on much longer, sis. Put him on!

I've got to get high above gamma ray

before he suspects what I'm going to do.

There. That'll show us he bit off more

than he can chew. Beaten,

but not broken. I

shall return. I shall

return, Fantastic Four.

Still, I got a hunch we haven't seen the

last of the gamma ray. If he does come

back, you'll find us waiting, all

four of us.
