Craig:
Elements of the earth...

I beseech thee!

Move these pitiful leaves
from my path!

Woosh!
Woosh!

Woosh!

Yeah,
so it's been nothing but

mock classes,
touring the dorms,

and visiting
the bookstore so far.

Kiiinda boring.

I'd much rather be at that
music festival with Cariss.

I mean, look at this!

I've never seen her
this happy!

[ Sighs ]
Well, less fun now

is a small price to pay
for our successful future.

[ Echoing ] Future.

Nar nar?

Bernard?
Wuh!

Yes, Alexis?

What's going on with you?

Ever since you went
on that college tour,

you've seemed... off.

Plus you haven't shown up
for the last few

student council meetings,
and when you did,

you were in your pajamas.

Well, I am clearly
stressed now!

I-I mean dressed!

I am clearly dressed now

and not at all worried
about college.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]
Oh! I gotta go.

It's time for the fencing
class demo I signed up for.

Finally something cool!

I'll call you later, 'kay?

Love you, miss you!

Love you, miss you.

[ Shudders ]

Yaaaaaaaaa!

Chores... done!

No leaves un-bagged!

And responsibilities gone!

Aaaah!

I'm going to the Creek!

Hi, Bernard!

I'm going to the Creek

'cause I'm Craig!

Take me with you!

What you talkin' 'bout,
Bernard?

Please, Craig!

I-I-I just really want
to experience the Creek...

with my little brother!

Uh...

Sure, I guess?

Yes!

Every which way I look--
joy!

Games!

Lack of inhibition or care
for personal hygiene!

The ground is my towel!

Pshh, I didn't even have
to put on pants.

Uh, yeah, that's what
I've been telling you--

Liz: Incoming!

[ Gasps ]

Haha!

Here you go,
fellow kids!

Ack!

Hey, long kid,
room for one more!

Count me in!

Um... where's Bernard?

'Cause that ain't him.

Yeah, I dunno what's goin' on,
but it's creeping me out.

Totally...
but also, I ain't mad about it.

Yeah!
This new Bernard is kinda...

Don't you dare say it!

Cooool?
Aah!

You take that back!

Bernard: Hey!

Turns out
you can play catch

with any number of people!

Come play!

Oh, man, I used to
love to play catch!

Razzafrazza...

♪ I've been
clenching my teeth ♪

♪ Like I can't win ♪

♪ I need relief when ♪

♪ The future I've been
planning for ♪

♪ Feels like another grind ♪

♪ I don't have any time
to think ♪

♪ 'Cause I don't have
any time ♪

♪ So let's put our troubles
away for the day ♪

♪ Have fun in the sun
and relax in the shade ♪

♪ Embrace the disorder

♪ Oh, I can't be bothered
by anything ♪

♪ In the Creek ♪

♪ I'm as free as can be ♪

♪ When you're with me ♪

♪ I feel free ♪

[ Slurping ]

Last one to the Creek
buys the Choco-Rolls!

[ Door closes ]

Craig: Knock-knock.

I wasn't expecting
any visitors today,

but who's there?
Ice cream.

Alexis:
Plane lands at 3:00!

Can't wait to see you!
Uh, ice cream who?

I scream if you don't
let me in, haha!

Kelsey, did you hear that?!
He said-- [ Laughing ]

Brice:
Bring out your beast!

Whoa,
I remember this place!

Didn't I come here
once with you?

Yeah. That kid Turner

stole one
of your most valuable

Bring Out Your Beast cards

and nearly destroyed
the Creek

and your financial future!

Let's check it out!

I reverse your attack
and send it back at you!

Haha!
I'm the winner!

See y'all
at the pro league!

The pro league?
You can play

Bring Out Your Beast
professionally?

As a job?!

Yeah,
if you're good enough.

The game's gotten pretty big
since you last played it.

You know, I was pretty good
as a kid.

[ Echoing ] As a kid.

My deck...

was not worthy.

I win!
[ Audience cheering ]

This is the happiest day
of my life!

Bernard?
Bernard?

Bernard!

You good, man?

I feel amazing!

I just realized
my true calling!

Forget college!
I'm gonna be

a pro
Bring Out Your Beast player!

That is...

the smartest idea
you've ever had!

Turner: A pro, huh?

Well, you'll have
to go through me.

You.

You're the kid that stole
my Beast Snare from Craig.

Turner!

Didn't me and Craig already
wipe the floor with you?

You musta missed a spot
'cause I'm still here!

Time for a rematch!

Bring out your beast!

[ Kids gasp ]

Craig, get my cards!

Like run all the way home
and get 'em?

Oh, yeah...

I guess it'd be faster
if I go get 'em.

Come on, Bernard!
You almost got 'er!

I attack your Cackling Coyote
with my Lightning Wolf!

[ Wolf howls ]
No, you don't,

'cause I play
a deflection card,

which sends your attack
right back at ya!

Ugh!
Guh...

Your deflection card left
my Thunder Wolf unharmed,

so I'll just attack
with it again!

Ugh!

You may have destroyed
my Cackling Coyote,

but now I get to play
Nurse Narwhal!

Which gives me back the five
life points I just lost!

[ As Mario ]
He's a-gonna win!

Go ahead.
Make your last pathetic move.

Huh?
[ Chuckles ]

You pick a joke card
or something?

It's over!

I play my Super Beast!

Mister Mayhem!
[ Laughs ]

W-Who is that?!

It's a Super Beast,

which means I can
ignore your defense

and attack you directly.

Whaaaat?!

Finish him,
Mister Mayhem!

Aaaaaaaah!

[ Wind howls ]

Bernard!
- Bernard!
- Bernard!

Uuuugh...

What happened?

I've never even heard
of Super Beasts before.

You didn't know about
Super Beats?

Guess that's what happens
when you get old.

[ Laughter ]

Get outta here, old man!

Nick:
Bring out your dentures!

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Alexis: C U @ the Airport @ 3,
Nar Nar!

Craig, can you pull me
out of this hole?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Um, you guys,
get his ears.

I'll pull the glasses.

Grrrr!
[ Tires screech ]

The drawings on these cards
are so cool.

Hey, Bernard's back!

Bernard: Turner!

Bring out yo beast!

Go, Bernard!

Heh.
Since you lost last time,

I'll go first.

I play Lightning Wolf!

[ Wolf howls ]

And then I'll add
two damage boosters.

And I attack you directly!

[ Thunder crashes ]

My move.

And now I summon
my very own

Super Beast!

What?!

Whoa!

Come forth...

Queen's Guard!

I also activate-- ha!--

the Saxophone of Calling!

Which I equip
to my Queen's Guard.

Once he starts
playin' that sax,

it auto summons
another Queen's Guard

with a Saxophone of Calling!

And with two Guards,
out each equipped

with a Sax of Calling,
I can summon...

the Queen of Super Beasts!

No fair!
How did you get

all those Super Beasts?!

With money

from my job!

Boooooo!

Now, my Super Beast,

attaaaaaaaaaack!

Aaaaah!

[ expl*si*n ]

[ Groans ]
[ Panting ]

Bernard,
you did it!

I can't believe you beat Turner
in just one turn!

Uh...

Who's next?

[ Kids screaming ]

Super Beast!

Aaaaah!

Super Beast!

Aaaah!

Super...

Beast!

[ Vomits ]

My backpack.

[ Kids screaming ]
[ Laughs maniacally ]

Bernard,
what are you doing?!

Whatever I want!

No more wasting time with
colleges or student council.

I'm unstoppable!

Alexis: Bernard?!
[ Record scratches ]

A-A-A-Alexis?

Yes, A-A-A-Alexis!

Me! Right here!
Hi! Your girlfriend?

That you left waiting
at the airport for hours?!

[ Gulps ]
How'd you know I was here?

I thought something bad
happened to you,

so I called your parents and
they said you were in the Creek!

What are you even
doing here?

Uh... playin'.

Okay, I can't with you
right now, Bernard!

I just can't!
But I was--

[ Sighs ]
You know what?

I think I just need some...

[ echoing ] space.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

[ Gasps ]
Oh, Nar Nar!

I'm here for you, bro!

[ Wailing ]

Bernard?
