[ Amplified ] And on your left, you'll see the ancient city
of Chichen Itza. Ooh!
And on your right -- some kind of giant vehicle
blocking the whole parking lot.
Wow!
I don't know if we have a permit for that.
First one to the gift shop is a rotten egg!
You want to be a rotten egg?
Don't worry. I'll handle this.
-Hyah! -Gift shop! Gift shop!
Gift shop! Ah!
[ Yells ]
Hyah. Ben, we're here to get some culture,
not drain my wallet.
[ Babbles ]
I've been reading about Chichen Itza.
It's an amazing place.
The ancient Mayans built this city over 1,000 years ago,
and the buildings still stand today,
like the temple of 1,000 warriors.
All the columns represent ancient soldiers.
And the great ball court,
where they played the Mayan game Pok-A-Tok.
And my favorite monument --
First one to the ball court is Vilgax barf.
Why does he want to be Vilgax barf?
[ Sighs ] Don't worry about it.
[ Babbling excitedly ]
Ah! Whoa, slow down there.
Hey, it's Mary Jo. What are you doing here?
I've been researching the area
as part of my herpetology studies.
Ooh, do you guys want a tour of the site?
Well, we were just going to let
Gwen yell facts at us, but that'd be great.
Great. Just one rule --
don't touch the monuments.
Oh, and no weapons on my tour.
Oh, you mean these?
No. Oh.
Okay. We're off.
Wait, JoJo, if you're here, who's watching your snakes?
I am. I've been rehabilitating snakes native to this region.
I came here to release them.
Release them where?
Oh, they're around.
Ha! Around Ben maybe.
Ah! Help me, JoJo! [ Shrieks ]
Now, now, you know you have to go back to the wild.
Come on, you big baby.
You'll be much happier out here.
Now, let's get back to that tour.
[ Slithers ]
Here it is, the temple of Kukulkan.
[ Laughs ] Who's that?
Someone hit him with the ugly stick?
Ben, show some respect.
That's the Mayan deity Kukulkan.
He has the body of a snake but the plumage of an exotic bird.
To the Mayans, he was a protector of agriculture.
Other cultures call him Quetzalcoatl
as a symbol of war and rebirth. [ Shrieking ]
The Aztecs even thought he would return to Earth one day,
though no one knows when or what form he'll take.
[ Birds screech, squawk ]
Did, um, anyone else hear someone
calling for help just now?
All I heard was a girl who really knows her stuff.
Gwen, would you like to be my special helper today?
Special helper? [ Giggles ]
For my first act as helper, I'm --
[ Gasps ] Ben's going to touch the monument!
[ Grunting ]
Ben, you're going to make Quetzalcoatl mad!
Nuh-uh, can't make him mad if he's a stink.
You mean "extinct"?
You mean "mythological"?
[ Shrieking ]
-Ah! -Ah! It's Pretzel-vet-al!
[ Shrieking ]
[ Cawing, clucking ]
-Huh? -It's kind of goofy.
[ Caws, shrieks ]
Oh, no, he's scary again!
Ben, you can't fight a deity.
Oh, Gwen. Sure. We'll just talk it out
like civilized -- oof! [ Shrieking ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Gasping ] Ben, you have to be respectful.
Don't punch Quetzalcoatl.
I can punch Quet-al-water and still be respectful.
I just won't touch his monument. Whoa! Ah!
[ Groans ]
See? Didn't touch it. Ah!
Some more info about this Quetza-pretzel guy
would be really helpful right now!
[ Shrieking ]
Uh, he likes offerings of flowers!
Here Pesto-pot-al, you love flowers.
[ Grunts ]
I don't think that's Quetzalcoatl at all.
In fact, it's exhibiting several behaviors
that I actually recognize, such as coiling
and constricting, shedding skin, and those markings resemble
the Yucatan boa I released today.
Snake facts later. Help Ben now.
Grandpa, let's go. Team destroy!
Gwen, do you remember when I was a chicken?
What?!
Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!
Yep, that's boa skin, all right.
-[ Shrieking ] -[ Grunting ]
[ Sniffs ]
I remember that smell well.
Smells like fear.
Tastes like fear, too, fear and chicken.
-[ Shrieking ] -[ Grunting ]
Bad Case-of-castle. Bad Case-of-castle.
We have to do something.
If that thing is like my boa, I think I know how to help.
Hey, special helper, I got a job for you.
Hold this.
Hm. Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!
-[ Grunting ] -[ Shrieking ]
It's working. It's starting to relax.
Ben, warm it up with your body heat.
I don't know. It still seems pretty angry.
Nice Quetza-waffle. Easy, boy.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Oh, Ben, why did you power up?
You know that makes you time out faster.
Well, I thought my armor would weigh its head down.
Wow, his neck is strong.
Grandpa, JoJo has a plan. [ Clucks ]
The problem is, we've been dealing with one problem
at a time when we should be dealing with two.
Thanks to my vast expertise on snakes,
I've come to know that snakes can be transported
and tamed in containers such as nets or pillowcases.
However, we need someone with expert knowledge
on chickens to distract the head.
Now, if only there was some way to get a giant net...
Yo, Shock Rock can make a giant net, right?
Totally!
[ Grunting ]
I got the snake half covered.
Okay. Everyone, stand back.
Ahem. [ Clucking ]
-Let go. -Uh...
[ Clucking ]
-Out of my way, small fry. -Animo.
I should have known you'd be behind this.
Yes. Very astute, little girl,
unlike someone else I know.
Maybe I need to turn up the power so you know your place.
Not on my watch. Yah!
Ah! [ Grunts ] [ Shrieks ]
Let him go!
And the chicken thing.
Who, him? The very child who randomly shows up
and ruins my plans? [ Giggles ]
The one who sets me back on months of research
then gloats in my face, him?
Give me one good reason to let him go.
Because I'll offer myself in exchange.
[ Shuddering ] -Wait. You're Mary Jo,
the famous serpents expert!
A big fan of your work!
You've inspired some of my most successful experiments,
and honestly, I could really use your input on what went wrong
with this piece of work behind me.
Ah! I accept your offer.
-Ben! -[ Clucks ]
Today has taken an interesting turn.
Expect to see some of our
collaborative creations very soon.

We can't just let him take JoJo.
His creatures will be even more of a threat.
Okay. You go after them in the copter.
I'll catch up. Come on.

It sustained some injuries preventing flight,

Someone should do something about this collar though.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it with my special eyes.
[ Caws ]
[ Groans ]
I'm so glad everything worked out.
Still, we got to get this big boy to a nature preserve
where he can be safe.
First one to the preserve is a toot.
Wait, that's not how the phrase works.
-Has anyone told him? -Yes.
Park ranger: Move along. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Isn't it great we saved another creature
from Dr. Animo's nasty hands?
Yeah. Sure was a close one. Little too close, actually.
[ Crash! ]
Max: Ugh. [ Coughing ] Awh. Now, that's not good.
Both: Grandpa, is everything okay?
[ Crash! ]
I'm fine, but Copterella isn't feeling so hot.
Yeah, I wasn't loving that name, either.
She doesn't look too bad, though.
I called Phil, and -- and he should be able to fix this.
Uh, we just have to wait for him to arrive.
-Excuse me? Tennysons? -Hmm?
-Huh? -I just wanted to thank
you guys again for preserving the Quetzalcoatl.
We will be taking it to a very safe location.
-Glad we were able to help. -I want to come with.
It's the least we can do. The copter is trashed.
Grandpa is upset.

And all because I lost control of my supercool alien bros.
Well, I'm fine with it if you guys are.
Well, I guess it'd be all right.
Besides, it'll be a while before Phil arrives.
Don't hide the truth from us!
Don't be a cog in the government's pyramid scheme!
Release the beast! No.
Ben! Hey, cuz. Grandpa said it's time to leave.
Oh. Well, I-I was thinking of riding with Mary Jo.
Ah, I get ya.
Protecting the truck with one of your aliens?
What?! I don't have to use my aliens to do everything, Gwen.
Being a hero is about a lot more than that.
[ Laughs ] Nice one, Ben.
I'll see you guys when we get there.
Oh, don't worry, Gwen. I'm sure Ben is just
a little shook up after our crash landing.
Yeah. Is it weird I kind of miss loud, annoying Ben?
[ Chewing ]
Are you still eating bird feed?! Grandpa, cut it out!
It's the only thing that soothes the pain! Grandpa!
Hey, Mary Jo. I have a question.
How safe is the Quetzl-adoodle in this thing?
Super-duper safe.
This truck is covered in 2-feet-thick metal plating.
Nothing would be able to reach her.
It also has two giant freezer air units
keeping it cold at all times.
Snakes tend to hibernate in the winter,
and chickens are very resilient to the cold.
With this built-in air-filtration system
at the top, this baby allows for easy breathing.
In other words, the perfect bed for a beautiful creature.
Max: Uh, this is Max, over. Uh, just checkin' to see
if the corn flake is cool as a cucumber. Mmm.
Grandpa, stop with the bird seeds!
Uh, uh, uh, sorry. Uh, Papa Bear couldn't hear what you said.
Uh, you got to say "over," over.
Hmm? Gwen! Gwen, no! Please! I-I need it!
