02x07 - The Creature from Beyond
Posted: 05/21/22 06:44
Bellwood senior village.
May I... oh, hello, doctor.
Yeah, it's been quiet all night.
The residents are all in bed
except for old George.
That's the only name we have for
him.
I don't know.
He's been here since the place
opened back in the ' s.
Yeah, he's ancient.
Bet he's got some stories, huh?
[ Dramatic music playing, swords
]] Uh, I-I'm not sure you should
do that.
]] I found it, squire, and I'm
going to open it.
]] Whatever it is.
]] It bears the seal of the
forever knights, and you
yourself told me it's nearly
, years old.
I'm wagering it's an ancient
cache of alien weapons.
]] That would make sir Cyrus
happy.
Reason enough to proceed.
Now stand back.
Stop!
Something's going wrong!
Unh!
George?

Ben?
Ben!
I'm on it!
You were asleep!
Well, yeah, it's like
: A.M.
More like : A.M.
I felt a ripple in the
manna.
I thought we should check it
out.
I think I felt a ripple
back in my room.
You guys take the manna, and
I'll investigate my bed.
Fine.
You're not driving us down?
The gravel will chip
my paint.
We're setting the hero
bar kind of low tonight.
Told you to take Ben's
car.
Oh, yeah, that's some
rippled manna right there.
Forever knights threw
a party.
With an uninvited guest.
A friend of yours, no doubt.
Hey, it must be
monty python week.
So, which group are you
guys with... Urian, Patrick, the
forever king?
Frauds and apostates, the lot
of them.
I am sir Cyrus, and ours is the
true path, faithful to the ways
of our founder, the
first knight.
Another faction?
I'm gonna have to start keeping
notes.
What tried to break into
your vault?
To the best of our knowledge,
you did.
Sire, a-actually...
silence, squire.
Your king speaks.
You think we did this?
Two of my men are missing,
and you're here.
Now you're going to tell us
where you took them, even if
it's with your last breath.
Wasting your a*mo,
dude.
I'm wearing your armor.
Right. Nobody move...
Or the changeling suffers.
Raise your hands above your
head.
If you say so.
Humongous... oh!
Stay back!
Hey, it's the
middle of the night, I just hit
my head, and you are really
annoying me!
]] Hold fire!
Hey, wake up and stop
fighting.
We have a situation
here, which, by the way, you
caused.
If you want to help fix it,
great.
If not, stay out of our way.
]] Sire, I-if I may be so bold,
these people didn't cause the
accident.
It was sir Reginald.
H-he tried to open it with a
laser drill, and there was an
expl*si*n.
]] Then, for now, we shall
declare a truce.
Who made that thing?
]] The first knight forged the
sacred seal centuries ago.
As to why, well, I was trying to
translate the inscriptions, but
i didn't finish in time.
Maybe I can help.
Gwen.
]] Winston... sir Reginald's
squire.
I...Mean, I was.
Okay, sir Reginald's
squire, you got an explanation
for what happened here?
]] Perhaps the laser struck an
expl*sive on the other side of
the seal?
That tracks.
It looks like it's cracked from
the inside.
]] So, the expl*si*n took down
my knights?
Is that what happened, squire?
]] I'm not sure.
When the energy began to build
up, I, uh... I ran, sire.
Guess we're setting
the hero bar kind of low
tonight, huh?
You're telling me that
even though it's got a big
forever knight symbol on it, you
don't know what's inside?
]] Any records were long since
lost to time.
]] Sir Reginald thought it was a
weapons cache filled with
captured alien technology.
I don't think this is
about technology.
That seal is infused with magic.
]] Preposterous!
A forever knight would never use
magic.
Well, one of them did.
]] Police are reporting several
locals have gone missing after a
blinding light.
Let's go check it out.
Maybe I should stay
here with Winston... try to
translate those inscriptions.
What?! No. Bad idea.
I mean, we're gonna need all of
our firepower with us if we have
to fight...Whatever we're
fighting.
The
dangerous bright light.
Maybe we should call in some
plumbers for backup.
Come on, Gwen.
Kevin has a point.
]] Then we'll all go on the hunt
together.
That was so rude!
Me, rude?
To whom... squire whiffle?
Winston.
I can't bother to
remember.
He's not important enough.
Jealous?
Of what... his dumb
name, his dumb accent, or his
dumb dress?
It's a tunic.
Why are they stopping?
]] We've detected an alien
life-form.
My ultimatrix isn't interested.
I haven't beaten anybody up in
about minutes.
If you don't let that policeman
go right now, that's gonna
change.
]] Fire!
No!
Swampfire!
Hey, when I say
no, I mean no!
You could've hit that
guy!
He's as good as dead already.
Come on!
What are you d...
a fresh mind for the feast.
How may I serve the great one?
Yo, freak show, let
her go!
Don't let it touch you.
Winston!
This is not gonna go
over well.
Are you...
Lousy. Thanks.
Did you notice...
That the creepy-crawly
couldn't mind-control Kevin?
Yeah.
Squire Winston, where are
you?
He's gone.
That creature grabbed him.
Lucubra... that's what
it calls itself.
By whatever name, the evil
has taken my man, and it's your
fault!
It was awful.
I could feel it in my head,
fishing around.
For what?
Kevin's attack broke
the connection.
You're welcome.
I know, right?
I feel like driving my brain
through a car wash.
]] No trace of the beast.
If you three hadn't
interfered...
You'd all be in jail for
sh**ting a cop, and the lucubra
would still have your squire.
]] You don't know that.
Sure, I do.
Our way, the innocent policeman
gets to go home to his family
tonight and we still have a
chance to catch the bad guy.
Which would be a lot
easier if we knew more about
that seal your knights found.
]] Here's the lad's rucksack.
It has his notes and the
pictures he took.
We'll do our best.
]] I'm sure you will...
Sorceress.
While she works on that,
how 'bout you take the north
side of the city, we take the
South?
Either of us runs into the
lucubra, let the other one know.
]] Agreed.
And nobody moves in
till we're all there.
]] If my squire is endangered, I
will do whatever needs be done.
Any luck with
those papers?
Winston's notes are
pretty useless.
They're mostly about some
first knight forging that vault
, years ago.
They're all pretty high on him.
Unfortunately, Winston couldn't
read the runes properly.
He really thought it was full of
captured alien technology.
But it was a
monster jail.
This first knight must've
trapped the creature in there.
And they opened the
door and let him out.
I don't think it was a
vault door.
I think it was a mystic seal to
prevent a demon from crossing
between two worlds.
A demon?
Lucubra is a creature
from another dimension.
Good.
So, we know where to send him
back, if we can find him.
That stuff all belongs
to Winston, right?
Maybe you could track him.
Maybe.
You find him?
I accidentally
connected to the lucubra.
You okay?
Fine.
I think I saw it escape through
the seal.
But no Winston?
Oh, I found him, too.
Intersection of Roeper and
hawthorne... get here fast.
Meet you there.
They've changed direction,
and they haven't found the
tracking device in Winston's
rucksack.
Right. First we k*ll the beast.
Then our truce with Ben Tennyson
comes to an end, as does his
life!
I swear, in the name of the
first knight, victory will be
ours.
I guess we'd better let
the knights know where we are.
Seriously?
Well, I did say I would.
Yeah, but you didn't
say when.
Good point.
We'll call them after it's all
over.
You two should be in
politics.
There's never a way in
when you need one.
I can fix that.
Can we not go straight
to the nuclear option?
That is so wrong.
Let's get in there.
Gwen?
Gwen?!
You okay?
Of course she's not
okay.
She's not complaining about how
disgusting goop is.
The lucubra...
In my head again.
It feeds on people's thoughts.
I got some thoughts
for it right here.
It wants energy from
the parietal lobe... the part of
the brain you use when you pray
or meditate.
So, you bliss out and
it has lunch?
Until there's nothing
left.
We have to save those
people... now.
Okay, only Gwen stays
out of it.
Says who?!
I can hold my own.
No doubt, but that
thing got its hooks into you
twice.
And I shook it off!
But what if next time
you can't?
What if it's three strikes and
you're out?
I'll be okay.
Listen, Gwen, I
can't...
I mean...
We can't afford to lose you...
the team, you know?
I, um...
Help me out here.
How 'bout you go around
back?
If we get into trouble, but only
if, then you jump in.
I still don't think
she should be in on this.
Me either.
That's why we're going to do
this fast.
Armodrillo!
Kevin, don't hurt anyone!
They started it!
Come on, people!
Back off!
We don't want to hurt you!
To be honest, I am
considering it.
Okay, I am done with
waiting.
]] So are we.
Let them weaken the creature.
Then we can attack in force.
I'm going to help my
friends.
]] You'll have to go through us
first.
I was hoping you'd say
that.
Gwen, get out of here!
NRG!
Hey, lucubra, you hungry?
How about a taste of this?!
Ben?!
No, I'm good.
Just like Kevin was when he was
wrapped in metal.
Tinfoil hat... keeps
them from controlling your mind.
Ben, I need a hole... a
deep one.
How's that?
Nice!
They're okay.
Steady there, squire.
]] Uh, I tried to fight it.
Well, hooray for you.
Now go buy yourself a cookie.
]] We call them "biscuits."
]] Squire Winston, step away
from the alien scum.
I think he's talking
about us.
After all we've meant
to each other.
]] Did you destroy the beast?
I sent it back where it
came from.
Got a problem with that?
]] No.
For now, our work is done and
our truce remains in force.
Except for that part
out back where you ambushed me.
]] A minor misunderstanding.
Nevertheless, take heed.
When we next meet...
Yeah, yeah, we will know
your righteous vengeance.
Can we call it a night?
I could use some sleep.
Okay, he's cute.
We get it.
]] Squire, you are not to
fraternize with the enemy.
]] But, sire...
]] Heed me well!
They may look like us, but they
are alien spawn, and they will
contaminate you.
Is that clear?
]] Yes, my liege.
May I... oh, hello, doctor.
Yeah, it's been quiet all night.
The residents are all in bed
except for old George.
That's the only name we have for
him.
I don't know.
