Grandpa, it's been hours! Let's just get a mechanic.
-Rath can just tow us to town! -No!
All I need to do is connect these two cables.
A-ha! [ Crackling ]
Oh, this isn't good.
Both: Grandpa! Aah!
Wait! Wait, kids! I can fix this!
Are you sure you know what you're doing?
Yes, I do!
Just give me a few more minutes with it.
Both: Ugh!
Grandpa, just let it go, and we'll find a mechanic!
I've been taking care of the Rustbucket
since the very beginning.
I know the ins and outs of this baby.
[ Crash! ]
Ohh!
Both: Mechanic.
I could easily have fixed her.
Naw. Don't be such a Grumpa!
Ahh.
Hey, Ben! Are you ready to go?
Rath is always ready! Hyah!
[ Laughs ] Doesn't it feel great
to be up and running again, Grandpa?
Hmph.
[ Grunting ]
Hey, Ben! There's a town up ahead!
Got it! [ Tires screech ]
Whoa! Ahh!
Hmm?
Is something the matter, Ben?
Rath found...an arm? Something's not right here.

-Hmm. -Okay. This is creepy.
You think anybody's there?
If it's another mannequin, I'm gonna scream.

-Man: Howdy! -Aah!
I don't like it! I don't like it!
Uh, what? You don't like the mustache?
Oh, Barry, I told you mustaches don't suit my complexion!
[ Laughs ] He's quite the car wiz but not exactly the best
when it comes to fashion advice. So, what can we do for ya?
Okay. I'll go ahead and ask. Where are all the people?
Uh, what you talking about? Everyone's here.
I mean, it's not like all the work dried up, so everyone left,
and this is a ghost town except for me
so I replaced everybody with mannequins to keep me company.
[ Chuckles ] Right.
My grandpa's Rustbucket is in need of some repairs.
-Hmph! -You don't say!
Well, not to worry.
We can have her up and runnin' in a jiffy!
-Pfft! -Barry, we got a new job!
Grab my tool belt!
Ooh! [ Laughs ] Good one!
We'll go take a look under the hood.
Mechanic: Hmm. Let's see here. Yeesh.
Barry, whoever tried to fix this really did a number on it.
Hmph!
So, do you think you'll be able to fix it?
Ah, it might take a while, but we can fix it.
How long is "a while"?
Well, judging by the amount of botched repairs,
I'd say end of the day.
-Botched repairs?! -All day?!
Now, don't you worry.
This town may be small, but it's not short on attractions.
We've got a lovely diner, a café, a gift shop, and --
What's that, Barry?
You know we can't allow anyone near that.
What do you mean, I can't let things go?!
No, it is not the only reason I didn't leave!
Yeah, well, I would take a vacation
if I wasn't so busy protecting it!
Okay. That is true.
Barry, you know, you really do have a way of convincing people.
It's settled. Y'all seem like nice enough folks,
so you're more than welcome to check out my prized collection
at the Grand Central Library.
My wife's the librarian, so she'll let you right in.
Feisty little redhead, you can't miss her.
A library?!
Funny. I wouldn't take you as a library person.
Oh, I am. Otherwise, I'd just go crazy.
Here, Barry. Hold my belt.
Gwen: Oh, wow! This place looks great!
Doesn't it, Grandpa?
Yeah, I promised myself that I'd never step foot
in a library during summer vacation,
so I'll just take my chances out here.
Suit yourself.
And try and stay out of trouble, will ya?
[ Wind whistling ]
Wow! This place is huge! Whoa!
Whoa! "Feisty little redhead."
Huh. As if that guy couldn't get any weirder.
Oh, well! At least we can chill out and read. What?
Where are the books?!
There's not much here.
So much for a prized collection, right, Grandpa?
Uh...Grandpa?
Ugh. Come on, Max. Pull yourself together.
You're both the brains and the brawns of this team.
Hmm. That's weird.
That lock looks like it's been tampered with.
Luckily, I always keep my utility tool on hand.
And who said I couldn't fix anything?
Unh! Great Gatsby
[ Shatter! ]
What is going on with me today?
Well, this must be the prized possession
the mechanic was talking about.
It is the Book of Eternals,
an ancient race that wielded immense magic!
Hex, what are you doing here?
Strange how a mere mortal as yourself was able to
undo the magical lock that bound it all these years.
I'm just having an off day, okay?
It would be wise of you to hand it over to me.
Not in a million years, Hex.
In fact, how about a taste of your own medicine?
Don't you think you should wait for your precious grandson
to come save the day?
No! I can take you on myself!
All you are doing is wasting my time.
[ Grunting ]
Foolish old man. Wait a minute!
Oh, what's the matter? Missing something?
You! Aah!
There's nowhere to hide. Let's make it interesting!
Grandpa! Where are you?!
Ugh! I'm too old for hide-and-seek.
[ Screech! ]
Grandpa? Where have you been?!
Now's not the time. This is Hex's doing.
Hex is here? Grandpa, we have to get Ben.
What? Have some faith in your grandpa.
All I have to do is use the magic of this page to get --
Aah! Oh, for once, I should've taken Ben's advice!
You know, I never wanted to admit it,
but I really am full of myself.
Maybe it's because I'm scared of showing my feelings.
I hide behind so many identities,
and the only thing about me that's worth anything
is this watch. What do you think, Stanley?
Yeah. You're right.
Who needs feelings when you've got 10 aliens?
You really understand me, Stanley!
Thanks. All right. I've got a duck and a boat.
How about you?
Ugh, kings! How do you beat me every time, Louis?
Oh, Louis. Such a kidder!
All right, Max, time to shake it off and beat Hex.
"Ma-- Marro tahk. Egests."
What language is this?
There you are! I've had enough of your pathetic games.
You are not worthy of having even one page of this book.
I'm getting real tired of feeling bad about myself.
I'll show you what I'm made of.
Marro tahk egests!
Okay. This didn't go as planned.
Fool! You don't have the arcane knowledge
required to wield such power!
Plus, you need to r-r-roll your R's!
[ Laughs ]
No! Oh, curse these bunny hands!
You should feel some pride, as you will be the first
to witness the true power of the magic book.
N-o-o-o!
Grandpa? Aw, niblets.
And then I told that Forever Knight that I'm no pawn!
I hit my watch and, boom, punched his legs out!
Nighty-nighty, Forever Knight!
Ha! Get it? Huh?
Hunh! Is everyone all right?
Louis?!
Louis!
[ Beeping ]
[ Evil laughter ]
At last! I wield the power of the Eternals!
Ah, that was unfortunate.
-Gwen: Hmm! Hmm! -Gwen?
Hmm-hmm!
Hold on, Gwen. I've got you.
What was that blast? Hex got the last page.
Best hold onto each other, for the end is nigh!
Heatblast: Hey!
I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to Louis!
Both: Who's Louis?
He was my friend!
Wh-- What?!
Incredible, isn't it? The power of the Eternals.
Care to have a taste?
[ Grunting ]
[ Laughs ] The tides have turned, boy.
It ain't over till it's over, bud!
You can't even dream to defeat me anymore.
[ Zapping ]
-Aah! -Don't worry, Ben!
-Your grandpa's on his way! -Wait!
You'll only get in Ben's way.
Just let this one go and have him handle it.
I won't get in anyone's way.
Grandpa!
Ugh! Aah!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Nothing you do can help you now.
Is that so? Let's see if that's a fact.
Know your place, feeble man.
-Aah! -Begone!
-No! -Grandpa! You okay?
I'm fine, Gwen.
It seems to me you are the furthest thing from fine.
You have outstayed your welcome.
-Oh, no! -So long!
Gwen: Aah!
-Hunh! -Ben!
-Ahh... -You okay?
Yeah. I don't get it.
When did Hex get so strong?
Maybe it has to do with the book pages that are surrounding him.
That would be correct. That book is my family's heirloom.
I vowed to never leave this town
and protect it from any evildoers.
And it would appear that you've failed, old man.
I've become unstoppable.
Young man, he hasn't yet absorbed the page
with the reversing spell. We have to get it!
Leave it to me!
♪♪
Diamondhead: All right, Hex, round two!
[ Chuckles ] It's hopeless.
I've already absorbed more than half the book's power,
and once I consume it all, I will unleash
the darkest terror this world has ever seen!
Oh, sorry. What was that? Too busy not listening!
You never learn! Gone once and for all!
Both: Ben!
Hey, Hex. Miss me?
-The page! -I got this.
Ugh! Ugh! [ Sighs ] Gwen, you do it.
I need to learn to let go of the things
I can't fix myself, let others help me.
Plus, I can't roll my R's.
No! This power is mine!
Hey. Eyes over here, buddy. Unh! Gwen, do it now!
Gwen: You got it!
Deripsnart taht stneve eht esrever!
Hex: No! No, no, no, no, no!
[ Ding! ]
Well, you lose again, Hex!
I still have enough power to beat you!
I'd like to see you try!

Both: Team Tennyson!
Mechanic: Well, that should do it.
Oh, you didn't have to rush it for us.
Nonsense. I owe you one.
In fact, you taught me a valuable lesson here, Max.
I think it's time I leave this town and go on a vacation.
And for that, I need to learn to let go, as well.
[ Zapping ]
What about Hex? We can't just leave him here forever.
Oh, don't worry. My wife here is the sheriff.
[ All chuckle nervously ]
[ Siren wails ]
Kids, get in the van.
[ Tires screech ]
Ah, what a bunch of weirdos. am I right, Barry?
