01x19 - The Terrible Tribunal

Post by bunniefuu »

We approach the planet Earth. Prepare

for descent and silent running as

you command E-1.

We are closing in on our targets.

They must be taken as quickly aspossible.

Read!

Ben! Did you hear that?Yeah, I heard it,

Johnny Boy.

Jumpin' jackrabbits! Who are they?I don't

know. Hit the deck!

Looks like it's clobberin' time, Johnny

Boy.

For once, you're right, Ben. Flame on!

That's ballin' 'em over fireball! Now

I'll put 'em to Betty-fy!

Hey! Why, you tender!

We have them all, ye

one. Let us return with the

prisoners.

Johnny, what happened?Where are we?

I don't know, sis, but apparently those

robots put us in this cell. But why?

You got me. But by the looks of those

laser bars, they're making sure we don't

bust out. Hey, where's Reed?

It's a fine time for old Stretcho to be

deserting us. He didn't desert us then.

They must have him somewhere else. Yes,

but where?

The tribunal is now in session.

The court will come to order. The

prisoner will approach the bench.

The defendant, Reed Richards and his

associates, known as the Fantastic Four,

have been charged with crimes against

evil. There is no such thing as crimes

against evil. You are wrong, Mr.

Richards. In our society, it is

those who commit crimes against evil who

are tried. I see. A court of

evil instead of a court of justice. Who

then has brought these charges against us?

Your accusers, Mr. Richards, are seated

just behind you.

Flaw. Molecule Man.

Blast thar. So you have not forgotten us,

Reed Richards. Good. For it is your own

memory that will convict you. My memory?

I don't understand. Then the court will

give you a demonstration. To your left,

Mr. Richards. One of our enforcer robots

is strapped in a deviceKnown as a cranial

micro-viewer. The micro-viewer will trap

your memory and transmit the images on

the screen above you. At the conclusion

of the viewing, the tribunal shall decide

your fate. If innocent, you will be

set free. But if guilty, this will await

you.

The prisoner is prepared for

cranial transmission. Then let

the evidences of the charges brought

forth by Klaw be seen first.

Think now, Mr. Richards. Remember how

the Fantastic Four defeated Klaw, the

master of sound?

My turn, brother-in-law. Make yourself

into an elastic backstop, will ya?

I'm ready and waiting. I am

invincible!

There's your invincibility, Claw.

Handball with an oddball, anyone?

Back so soon, Claw.

Whoops, I missed. Sorry about that, Claw.

You do not subdue the master of sound

that easily. Now it's my turn to

attack.

Even a sonic blast can be completely

smothered like this!

Good work, Reed! You got him! Where is he?

Let me at him! He's right here, Ben!

Where?Where is he?I'll pulverize the

bump! I've got him covered! And forcing

him to drain his last iota of sonic

energy, while my vibranium insulators...

absorb his expended powers. In other

words, old friend Claw is unconscious.

And now let us prepare for our next

witness. If we could

only bust through those laser bars, then

we could look for Reeves. It's

impossible, Ben. Nothing can get through

those bars. Oh, yeah?Charge!

Oh, what happened?You were just

thrown for a 10-yard loss. But you've got

the right idea. Let's try going around

the end. Play it on!

Look, Van! Johnny's cutting through the

wall around the laser bars.

That does it. Yeah, but too late.

Company's coming.

Sue, your force field! Okay,

stand back.

Come on! Now to find Reed. We're right

behind you, hot stuff.

The next witness will be Blaststar.

Now to inade him! Over here, brush

face! Why not pick on someone your own

size?

I'll bet that's smart. You will

pay for that for your life! If you want

me, you're gonna have to come get me.

Go on, Ben. I'll hold him off with my

force field.

Can't hold him. I better turn invisible.

Where did she go?What the matter is this?

Quickly, Green! He's beating us! His

helmet is almost finished. We'll have to

lure him here as I have to keep it

connected to the atomic pile. Don't

worry. You'll be here soon enough.

To this primitive X-ray!

Help me while he's stunned! I've got the

front and this over his head. Ben,

quick! Hit the switch! Stand

back! Blast Ard's got his powers from the

radioactivity of outer space. By

reversing the action in the atomic pile,

we're drawing his powers off. That's

enough, man. Turn off the power.

Guilty! I say he's guilty!

Disintegrate here now! Patience

blast tar. Before I reach a verdict, I

must view all of the evidence.

Now let us continue with the charges of

Molecule Man.

Everybody out. We'll take him on foot.

Take the powder electrode g*n. I'm just

gonna blame clobber him.

So, that didn't stop them. Well,

perhaps this will give them trouble. Fire

hydrant! Start water molecular expansion!

Hey, get it! Tie it in a knot!

Su, turn invisible. See if you can get

that wand away from him. I think it

controls his power.

Now for me to get in there.

There's Reed. But what are they doing to

him?It looks like they're watching some

old movie. Yeah!But they're movies of

us. And in case you haven't noticed, this

looks like some kind of courtroom. Hey,

look over there. Blastar.

Molecule Man. Claw.

I wonder what they're doing here. Let's

keep quiet and see what they're up to. I

have seen enough. From the evidence here

today, there can be only one verdict.

Guilty!

And now, Mr. Richards?You will pay

the penalty for your crimes. Hey,

what's he talking about?He's going to do

something to read! Well, don't worry,

gorgeous. I'll save your lover-boy for

you. Clobberanimo!

You won't need this anymore, tall and

ugly.

Ben, Sue, Johnny!Don't worry,

Reed. We'll have you free in a second.

I'll take it from here, Johnny.

There, free at last. Reed, what's been

going on?I'll explain later, Sue. First,

we've got a score to settle with Claw,

Blastar, and the Molecule Man. Then we

shall oblige you, Fantastic Four. And

this time, we will not be cheated of our

revenge. Well, that suits me

fine. Because it's clobbering

time!

Sorry to drop in on you guys like this.

They're all together. Now I'll have the

pleasure of finishing them. Whistle your

force shield!

Good work, sis. Hold 'em there for a

second. Flame on!

Okay, Sue, bums away!

Uh oh, more trouble.

They should hold 'em for a while.

Nice going. We've got 'em all.

Except for one. He's going for help.

Oh, yeah?Well, I'll give him some help.

Green, look! Nothing is coming over the

viewing screen. It's clobbering

time!

One. Two.

Oh, Ben's having a time of his life in

his dreams. It's

clobbering time! Halt!

Surrender in the name of Dr. Doom!

I'd better wake him up. Wait, Reed. This

is fun. It's clobbering time.

Ben. Hey, Ben. Come on. Snap out of it.

HuhWhat?What Where?What?Come on. Wake

up. What'd you do that

for?I was just getting warmed up. Sorry

to interrupt your fun, Ben, but it's time

to find our way out of here. Come on,g*ng!

Hey, Reef! What's that thing up ahead?

We're in luck! A bora craft! That's

gonna be our ticket to the surface.

Hang on! Here we go!

We made it. We're on the surface. There

is no escape, Fantastic Four.

Everyone out. It's going to blow any

second.

Freeze. My legs are pinned.

Don't worry, chicken. We'll have you free

in a second. There's no time. The judge

is closing in on us. It's up to

me. Flame

on! Nice going, hot stuff. That should

slow 'em down. Wrong, Fantastic

Four!

Hey, look at that. The rock

disintegrated. He's sh**ting some kind of

static laser beam. Come on,

everyone follow me.

Wow, that was close. Too close.

We gotta stop that guy somehow. Our only

chance is to use our combined powers. Now

listen carefully, this is what we're

going to do. It is

useless to hide Fantastic Four!

Hey, stupid! Down here!

A foolish maneuver! Now, Sue, your

force field! Here

goes! Keep it up, Sue! Okay, Johnny, get

those legs on the far side. Play hard!

Here goes, Sue! Give it all you've got!

Now that's what I call a real smash hit!

Oh, Reed! The judge escaped! It

doesn't matter, Sue. He's no longer a

threat. And his court of evil is over for

good. Yeah, but now we're stuck on this

creepy planet. Not if we can find another

ship. Come on! Well, I

guess it's the best we can do. All the

larger ships are gone. Yeah, but there's

only room for three in that tiny thing.

One of us guys is gonna have to stay

behind. Not necessarily, Ben. I have

an idea. But first, we'll have to draw

straws. Here you go, fellas.

Reed, Ben, Johnny.

Wouldn't you know it?I lost. But you

said we could all go. I don't get it.

Don't worry, Ben. You will.

Well, we should be home soon, g*ng. Oh,

wonderful, Reed! Hey, Ben! How's

it feel to ride in a g*n mound?Not bad,

flameboy! But whatever you do, just

don't pull the trigger!
