AXL: "The Not-So

Haunted House"

BO: There.

That's more like it.

So, what do you think,

are the van-pire bats

not-too-spooky enough?

They're perfect.

Thanks, sorta-scary Werewolf.

You're welcome,

chummy Mummy!

Hey. How's it going

with your Spider,

Dr. Gas-tank-enstein?

My giant robot Spider

is gonna haunt you

with his wicked dance moves!

-(evil laugh)

-(spooky music plays)

Gastankenstein Monster say

big Spider should go up on web

to be less scary.

Yes, and my J-Mag will use

its powerful magnet

to stick the metal Spider

to the web.

But how strong does

my J-Mag need to be?

-JAYDEN: One? Two?

-(dial clicking)

Three?

(gasps)

Let's see what four can do!

(whirring)

Magnet is pulling monster in.

Monster say four is too high.

-JAYDEN: Three it is then.

-(dial clicks)

VIOLET: All right.

It looks like Gearbox Grove

has its very first

Not-So-Haunted House!

A not-so-haunted house"?

What's the point of that?

Because ve vant to

make you smile, Iggy!

But Halloween isn't about

making everything funny.

It's about making

everything scary.

Maybe for you, Rod.

But we made our not-so-haunted

house for little kids and cars

so they can have some

Halloween fun

without getting too scared.

POW, BANG AND ZIP:

This way! Whee!

And here come our first guests!

Put it there, Pow! Bang! Zip!

Cool web! Cool bats!

Can we go inside?

Can we? Can we? Can we?

Sure! Buds, take your places.

(howls)

I'm your not-so-scary

werewolf guide.

Are you ready for some

Hooowl-oween fun?

-Yeah!

-Totally!

No thank you. It looks scary.

Ah, don't worry, Bang.

It's not scary at all.

It'll be fun, you'll see.

Uh-uh.

What if Zip and I go through

the house first?

Then we can tell you

what it's like.

Okay.

-Great, we'll be right back.

-Let's do this!

All are welcome to roll inside

the not-so-haunted house.

Where sorta-spooky fun

awaits

(spooky electronic music)

Our van-pire may have fangs

But he only chews on treats ♪

In the not-so scary

Haunted house ♪

Some mummies like to shock

Ours dances to the beat ♪

In the not-so scary

Haunted house ♪

(spooky electronic music)

This monster comes to life

To give a goofy smile ♪

In the not-so freaky

Haunted house ♪

There's nothing here to fear

So won't you stay a while ♪

At the not-so eerie

Haunted house ♪

The not-so-ghostly

Not-so frightful ♪

Really mostly

So delightful ♪

It's the not so haunted

Haunted house! ♪

That was awesome!

Bang! You're gonna love it.

Like this much!

Really? It wasn't scary?

Not at all.

Hmmm, I don't know

What if we both

hold your hands?

Okay. I'm ready to go.

Well, that was lame.

Who wants a haunted house

that's not scary?

(robot voice) Evil robot wants

tricks and scares.

(sighs) I hear ya, Rod.

So what if you and I

make this haunted house

a whole lot spookier?

♪♪

(laughs) Yes!

Now give it scary fangs.

And frowny eyebrows.

Or we could mess

with this spider.

(dial clicks)

Cool! Turn it up higher.

POW:

Wasn't that fun, Bang?

Hey, let's hide and spook the

wee-hicles when they come out.

You were right.

There was nothing

to be scared of.

(chuckles) Watch this

(dial clicks, spring bounces)

-Oops!

-(zapping noise)

(shrieks)

-Ha!

-Spooked ya!

-Whoa!

-(metal clanks)

-Whoa!

-Uh-oh!

-(metal clanks)

-(grunts)

(both) Bang!

I'm stuck. Help me!

-No, help us!

-Yeah, us!

-What happened?

-Is everyone okay?

(grunts)

Your web just grabbed us.

For no reason!

Stay back. The magnet

is turned up too high.

Anyone with metal on them

will get stuck to the web, too.

I knew we shouldn't have used

real metal for our costumes.

Dude, you're made of metal.

Oh, yeah.

We gotta get 'em down.

No prob. I'll just turn off

the J-Mag.

-Hey, where's the dial?

-ROD: Up here.

You broke my J-Mag?

Not on purpose.

Maybe you shouldn't invent

things that break so easily?

Well, thanks to Iggy and Rod,

I can't un-stick them.

Then we'll have to figure out

another way.

Huddle up, Firebuds.

Don't worry, Bang.

We're gonna get you down.

Great. We're gonna be

stuck up here all night.

All night?

But we're up so high.

What if we fall?

(scoffs)

Ya gotta be brave, kid.

It's Halloween.

But I'm scared.

It's gonna be okay,

little dude.

Rod? What're you doing?

We had our fun, Iggy,

but now the kid's freaked out.

I remember when

I was a little wee-hicle

and I thought

every pretend witch

was gonna turn me

into a scooter.

Right, and that was awesome!

Not when you're little.

You don't have to be afraid.

We're right here next to you.

When I'm really scared,

my brothers hold my hand.

I'll hold your hand,

little dude.

(metal clanking)

(metal clanking)

(beeping, clicks)

Both my brothers hold my hands.

(clanks)

Not gonna happen.

Come on, Iggy. Hold his hand.

When we were three years old

and that pretend skeleton

jumped out of that bush,

no one held my hand.

Yeah, because I was

giving you a hug.

(scoffs) Whatever,

I'm not doing it.

BO:

Okay, we figured out a plan.

See? No hand-holding needed.

Help is on the way!

We'll hook you up

to these ropes,

and then Flash, Axl,

and Piston will pull you free.

And then what? We just fall?

We're gonna fall?

Yeah, but you're gonna land

safe-and-sound on my J-Catch.

Monster throw safety cushion.

(air blows, expands)

(all grunt)

See. We're all okay.

It was actually kind of fun.

All right,

ready for us to pull?

You got this.

-One, two, three

-(engine revs)

(vrooming)

(all) Whoa!

(all grunt)

-Bang, you made it!

-You're safe!

What'd I tell ya, kid?

Forget the hand-holding,

and by next Halloween,

you'll be almost as brave as

me!

(both) Help!

Oh, man!

My robot Spider's

musta got messed up

when it hit the ground.

It's out of control!

Is Rod gonna be okay?

He will be when we

stop that Spider!

Let's roll, Firebuds.

(heroic music plays)

Where are you going?

Rod helped me.

So I'm gonna help him.

ROD AND IGGY: Whoa!

ROD AND IGGY: Whoa!

They're going too fast for me.

Axl, can you catch up to them?

I'm trying, but (grunts)

Why did I wanna be a pyramid

for Halloween?

(both gasps)

(quacking and chirping)

(gasps)

What's taking so long?

Save us!

I can save you!

-How?

-Chill, Iggy.

What's the plan, little dude?

Grab my hand.

Then I'll pull you

around a tree

so the rope wraps around

the trunk and stops the Spider.

All right, let's do it.

-No! I don't like that plan! No!

-Why not?

Well, we're going

really fast and, uh

what if it doesn't work?

Dude. Are you scared?

I, well

so what if I am?

BANG: It's okay, Iggy.

I know what'll

help you feel better.

Hold my hand.

(hopeful music plays)

(heroic music plays)

Hold on!

(grunts)

Dude, it worked.

(rope pulling)

Uh-oh!

-We gotcha!

-And we'll get the Spider.

(upbeat music plays)

(bandage twirling)

(thud)

Don't mess with mummy.

That was some

quick thinkin', Bang.

Way to go!

Monster says that was

very brave.

It sure was.

Thanks, little dude.

Yeah, thanks, kid.

And sorry I didn't

hold your hand before.

I shoulda been nicer.

Even on Halloween?

Especially on Halloween.

Hey, speaking of Halloween,

we gotta get back to our

not-so-haunted house.

And I was supposed to

go trick-or-treating.

But it might be too dark now.

Well, usually Rod and I would

do some more Halloween scares,

but I got a better idea

(upbeat music plays)

(spooky music plays)

Look how many

treats I got, Zip.

I got more.

But we've got the most.

And we're not

sharing any of it!

Dude.

Okay, maybe we'll

share some of it.

(spooky music playing)

CARLY:

"Halloween Heroes"

(doorbell rings)

(all) Trick or Treat!

Ooh, happy Halloween to me.

I got a Strawberry Guzzler!

-I got Gear Breakers!

-Oil Sticks!

Goober Bloobers!

-And I scored a Mega-Fudge Bar.

-(mega-fudge bar twinkles)

Man, Jayden always

gets the best candy.

Yeah, but he'll soon

be trading it to me.

Jazzy, Piper.

Cool costumes.

Thanks.

No one can stop

the Amazing Turbo-Van!

and her trusty vroom-mate,

Charger

who can't wait to get back

home for our Super Candy Swap!

They do it every year.

Oh, I'll be there.

But will you have treats

that are good

enough to trade?

I already do.

With great costumes comes

great trick-or-treat-ability.

Charger, my turbo-sense is

telling me there's good candy

-on Electric Avenue.

-All right. See ya later!

(tires screeching)

We better keep moving too, Axel

or

Hold up! Axl, Violet, what

happened to your costumes?

-We're still wearing them.

-Yeah, that's not us.

Wait, Harry, is that you?

It sure is.

Carly and I decided to dress

up as our favorite heroes.

-Violet!

-And Axl!

Wow, you dressed up as us?

Makes sense.

I would totally want to be us

if we weren't us already.

(chuckles) Well, since you two

look just like Firebuds,

do you wanna join us

for trick-or-treating?

(squeals)

Harry, did you hear that?

We can join the Firebuds.

That sounds better than

a fall forest hike.

We promise, if there's trouble,

we will help save the day.

Technically, it's Halloween,

so you'd be saving the night.

But I don't think anyone's gonna

need saving on Halloween

-PIPER: Help!

-JAZZY: Save us!

-What's wrong?

-Save you from what?

A candy thief.

(sniffles)

One minute, my bucket was full

and the next, poof

-My candy was gone.

-Mine, too!

-Same here!

-Me, too!

-Why?

-Hey, man.

no one steals candy

from my little sister.

Or mine.

Don't worry.

We'll catch the thief

and get all

your candy back.

And we'll help, too,

right, Harry?

Harry, what are you doing?

Well, you know how I've been

making a list

of all the plants

around the neighborhood?

I've never seen a shrub

like this before.

There's a candy snatcher

on the loose

and we gotta help

stop 'em.

-Us?

We're dressed up

like Axl and Violet.

So let's act like Axl and

Violet.

Let's be Firebuds.

Okay!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

(grunts, giggles)

Here's the plan, Buds.

First, look for anyone

suspicious.

PISTON: Ghosts, evil robots

and monsters?

They all look

suspicious to me.

-KHALIL: No!

-CARLOS: Help!

Uh oh! Come on!

Khalil? Carlos? What happened?

We were having fun

trick-or-treating as

my favorite car-iachi singer,

Javier Le-car-io.

And his trusty guitar.

But then someone

took our candy.

(sad guitar music)

Can you describe what

they looked like?

No because there was

no one around.

-How is that even possible?

-Look!

There's a piece of candy on

the ground.

And another one.

And another one.

It's a trail.

CARLY: Leading right to that

shark and mermaid!

Nice work, you two.

See? We're doin' "nice work."

Okay, we should drive up

quietly so they don't

-(engine revving)

-They're making a run for it!

Follow that Shark, Firebuds!

My cape's stuck!

(tires screesching)

Go go go! We'll catch up.

-(vrooms)

-(tires screech)

(sirens blare)

(quacks)

Axl, Violet! You okay?

We're fine but the Shark

and Mermaid are getting away!

Don't worry! Pretend Axl

and Violet got this!

HARRY: They're headed for

the corn maze!

Not if we stop 'em with Axl's

"Swift n' Drift" move!

We gotcha, candy snatchers!

What are you talking about?

-Bridget?

-Cinder?

-Carly?

-Harry?

Sweet drift move, Carly.

Way to stop the candy thieves.

Aw thanks, Axl.

But we didn't steal any candy.

Then why did you

drive off so fast?

We heard the Corn Maze

was open

and wanted to be

the first ones here.

The only candy

we have is our own.

What candy?

(gasps) You're right.

Someone stole our candy, too!

Don't worry. We're on

the case. Right, Harry?

Harry?

Come on, Harry

we're Firebudding.

But this weird shrub looks

just like that other one.

It has, like, three different

types of leaves.

I've never seen that before.

Harry, I know you love plants,

but it's Halloween.

We can pretend to be

anyone we want.

So let's not be you and me

for just one night, okay?

Let's be Violet and Axl.

If we crack this case,

we'll be Halloween Heroes.

All right.

We need to figure out

how to stop the thief

before they take

everyone's candy.

Nobody's gettin'

my Mega-Fudge Bar.

If their goal is to take

everyone's candy,

we can use all our candy

to set a trap!

Pile the candy here, then hide.

The candy thief

will come to us.

Look at Carly, crushin' it

with the good ideas.

Must be the Axl costume

making me think like Axl.

(candies rustling)

Now we just have to

hide and wait.

But how will the thief know

the candy's here?

We should have someone

get their attention.

Excellent point, Harry.

Y'all go hide.

If there's one thing I know,

it's how to get attention.

Oh, look a corn maze!

I think I'll leave my huge

pile of delicious treats

out here while I play

in the maze!

I sure hope no one

steals them!

Ooh! I better scoot in

some more.

(rips, tears)

No, my costume.

Look, it's another one of

those weird shrubs.

I mean, these

branches look like

they're from

three different plants.

Harry, we're supposed to be

Wait. Three different plants?

Maybe that weird shrub

isn't a shrub at all.

It's Wiley Riley!

And Gauge! Why doesn't anyone

ever remember my name?

You're the candy snatchers?

That's right, Firebuds.

Why bother trick-or-treating

when we can just dress up

like a shrub

and steal everyone's candy

when they're not looking!

Well, you're gonna give it

all back.

'Cause we caught ya.

(rips)

(nervous chuckle)

Wait a minute. You're not Axl.

Well, no but

(tires screech)

Later, fakers!

Of course, it's Wiley.

Let's go!

Come on. Do Axl's

"Swift n' Drift" move again.

Ha! Nice try!

(suctions)

WILEY: Dressing up as your

hero doesn't make you one.

We've got you, candy snatchers!

Sorry, Firebuds.

Gotta bounce.

I forgot they had one of those.

Good luck finding us

in the corn maze!

Oh, I eat corn mazes for

breakfast, well, not literally.

After them!

Carly, come on, let's go.

There's no point.

Wearing the costume made me

feel like Axl for a little bit.

But the truth is,

I'm not a hero.

I'm just Carly.

Uh, which way did they go?

Piston, you go left.

We'll go right.

A dead-end?

(leaves rustling)

I could've sworn

they went this way.

Carly, stop.

It was you who spotted

the trail of candy,

not the costume.

You came up with the trap idea.

And you figured out

the shrub was really

Wiley and Gauge in disguise.

Well, sure, but when

the costume came off,

they got away.

Only because you

stopped chasing them.

Carly, Axl may be your hero,

but you're mine.

And now's your chance

to act like it.

(tires screech)

Look, it's those

Faker-buds again.

(tires screech)

Don't bother

trying to catch us.

You're no Axl.

You're right. I'm not Axl.

I'm Carly!

Hang on, Harry!

Why? Whoa!

(upbeat music plays)

(in slowed down voice) What?

-Whoa.

-Look at Carly!

(tires screech)

I'll take that, thank you.

Gauge,

we gotta get outta here!

-On it!

-(spring bounces)

-Wiley Riley out!

-And Gauge out, too!

Carly, you saved the day!

Again, technically,

she saved the night.

That was some move, Carly.

I've never seen

anything like it.

That's 'cause

I just came up with it.

We should call it

the Carly Cut-Off.

(high fives, chuckles)

-You got our candy back.

-Thanks!

You're welcome, but I wanna

trade for your SourBombz.

Only for your Mega-Fudge Bar.

Ooh, that's a tough one,

but okay.

(sighs)

That was some Halloween.

Next year's gonna be

even better.

'cause Violet and I

are gonna dress up

as our favorite heroes.

-Who's that?

-You and Harry.

(happy music plays)

(closing theme plays)
