Ben: Whoa! This train is hype!
And we get to ride it. Uh, don't say "hype."
I'm more interested in meeting Grandpa's friend, Helen Troy.
She founded Helen Troy Industries,
and she's the one who designed this train.
This has got to be her most ambitious endeavor
since the AI ring.
She's definitely a hero of mine.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Yep, your ol' Grandpa's pretty cool sometimes.
Although, Helen seemed really difficult to get a hold of.
She was Phil's old apprentice,
so he's the one that got us this opportunity.
He said, "Keep an eye on her," whatever that means.
I can never tell when Phil's kidding around.
Both: Shh! Grandpa, the presentation is starting.
-Oh. -We here at
Helen Troy Industries strive to be
at the forefront of technological innovation,
from our AI ring to our latest invention, the Sonitrain.
And thanks to an anonymous benefactor
and cutting-edge sonic technology,
Helen Troy Industries has taken public transportation
beyond the sound barrier.
Helen Troy Industries -- trust us.
Yes, and thank you for joining us
on the Sonitrain's maiden voyage.
I'll be able to answer a limited number
of questions at this time.
Oh, hi, hello.
Gwen Tennyson here. Huge fan.
I-I was just wondering if you could elaborate
on the technology used for the Sonitrain,
and could you confirm if the anonymous benefactor is in fact
world-renowned physicist Dr. Gustav Pootknocker?
And also, could you comment on the ethics
and potential danger of hiding information
about the Sonitrain from the public?
Uh, I'm sorry.
That information is confidential.
Ahem, uh, now, if you'll excuse me, I must be going.
Uh, please enjoy the journey.
-That's weird. -So?
All those tech-inventor people are weirdos.
What matters is hype inventions.
Don't say "hype." I thought she was different.
But mysterious money men?
Dodging questions?
Something's up.
Max: Mm, I agree.
It's not like Helen to act so mysterious.
I'm sure there's some explanation.
We should go investigate, but she's probably so busy.
You just want to see her again.
She's your hero. -What?!
No. Something's up.
She might be in trouble.
Okay, maybe a little. -Well, come on.
I want to see the control room on this thing.
This train is such a technological accomplishment.
I bet it's not faster than XLR8. Come on, Ben. Whoa!
Shh! Helen: I'm not comfortable with these modifications.
Hey, you made an agreement with the boss.
I'm just following orders.
This is still my train.
We may have made a deal, but these experiments
he's doing may compromise the structural integrity.
I'm just doing what I'm told.
Talk to him.
I intend to.
Experiments?
And she's gonna meet with that investor.
We have to get to the bottom of this.
What in the world? I didn't know Helen Troy was into dance clubs.
Welp, looks like this is the end of the tracks.
Oh, yeah? I swiped the guard's key card.
Hoo-hoo! Gwen breaks the rules.
It's for science.
It's the control room.
Kids aren't allowed here.
Uh, please return to your seats.
Otherwise, I'll be forced to call security.
Uh, I still had a few, um, follow-up
questions from earlier.
No time for questions.
Wait, aren't you Max Tennyson's brood?
Oh, uh, yeah.
I just wanted to ask about the mysterious benefactor.
You were always up front about your investors in the past.
Uh, listen, Gwen?
Running a company can get difficult.
And when your ideas start to seem to risky
for your typical investor, you turn to reach out
for help from people with a similar vision.
-Decibel. -That's right.
I helped her build this sound-energy train.
She may be smart, but she needed my amplifying tech
to make this thing a reality.
But, unfortunately,
I'll have to ask you to leave the control room.
We're about to see how fast this train can really go.
What? W-We're not ready for that kind of test.
Th-this train is full of passengers.
[ Chuckles ] We're doing the test,
and if you try to stop me,
I'll wreck you're little company from the inside out.
You can't do this.
Gwen, make sure the other passengers are safe.
Heatblast is gonna fry this hype train.
Don't say "hype."
I don't think so, kid.

-[ Shouts ] -Aah!
Ugh, that hurt.
Lord Decibel, you're putting
everyone on this train in danger.
Whoa! Aah!
Helen, don't go along with this!
It's out of your hands, Troy.
Let the real show begin.
♪♪
Now things get interesting.
[ Grunting ]
I made it.
[ Beeping ]
This is what I call an energy boost!
Please, Helen, you've got to stop him.
I don't think you understand how long it took
to build this company,
the sweat and the tears that went into it,
all thanks to Mr. Decibel
backing my inventions when no one else would.
You're Phil's protégé.
You're more than capable on your own.
Sometimes sacrifices need to be made
for the greater good. -[ Breathing heavily ]
I'm pushing XLR8 to his limits and can still barely keep up!
Finally, we're dropping the beat.
Hey, Jukebox for brains!
What? Are you kidding?
At these speeds?
No. He's going to ruin everything.
Not if I have anything to say about it.
♪♪
Let's take this party up.
[ Grunting ]
Aah!
Now, this is the kind of plan I can jam out to.
Excuse me, Mr. Decibel,
uh, maybe we could work something out?
Oh, Helen, Helen, Helen.
I'm not here to negotiate, love.
You wouldn't have been able to build this train
without my funding.
You can trust your company in my hands.
Just imagine making a Sonitrain
that could go beyond the speed of sound,
you breaking a new barrier getting passengers
from Michigan to Taiwan in mere minutes.
That does sound amazing.
What a future that would be.
Future?
Oh, I'm talking about right now.
Now? I haven't built a Sonitrain like that yet.
Oh, with my body modifications, we have.
This train can't handle speeds like that.
How about we find out?
I can feel the bass drop!
♪♪
Oof! Mr. Decibel, please stop.
Aah!
Aw, harsh, bro.

[ Grunting ]
XLR8 has never not been fast enough,
but maybe XLR8 plus gots the stuff.
♪♪
Aah!
Even this super-suit XLR8 can't catch up.
Ugh.
Whoa, what's going on?
Yo! Back booster?
That's more my speed.
New ability unlocked.
Pedal to the metal.
Whoo-hoo!
Okay, caught up.
What do I do now?
Helen, are you okay?
I'm sorry, Gwen.
I let my drive for high speed ingenuity
get in the way of honest research and development.
It's okay. Your technology has helped so many people.
Just double-check if your top financial benefactor
is super villain next time.
You're right. I've worked too hard.
Helen?
I'm okay, but he won't be.
A-Ahem, you know I can hear you, right?
We're in the same room.
Ha! [ Both grunt ]
Neither you nor that alien brat will stop me.
This might not be the greatest plan,
but I don't know how to fight a train.
I have song request!
Whoa. What happened to XLR8?
-No clue. -Enough!
You're not stopping me no matter
how many times you change your little alien outfit.
If I use my ring, I might have a way to un-jam the door.
Now, that's what I'm talking about.
Laser mode initiated.
Let's see if you can take a gale-force head to your butt.
Ooh!
I can't move.
I might yarf in this helmet.
Stop yammering.
I'm going to rip this annoying device
from you once and for all.
Ben, just -- just hang in there! We're almost inside!
Just a little more.
Oh, something's about to happen.
I hope it's not my lunch.
♪♪
Aah!
♪♪
Huh? Hands?
Don't mind if I hand in.
Also, how did you switch my aliens?
I was trying to end you.
We're in. Where did they go?
Well, that isn't good.
We need to remove the power source from Decibel
and the train.
Gwen, I bestow to you my ring device.
You untether Decibel's cable,
and I'll take control of the train.
I don't think the Omnitrix can handle the overtime.
[ Chuckles ] Good one, me.
Uh-oh.
Aah!
Uh, I think the Omnitrix overload is messing with my aim.
Crud. -Ha!
I beat you with no hands.
Aah!
Not sure how your co-workers are gonna feel about those,
though I can lend you a hand or two.
Let's end this, kid.
I've got a company to run.
How are you doing, Gwen?
Almost...
Got it. -Roger.
[ Grunts ] My power feed?
Aah! -Hand time!
[ Snoring ]
[ Groans ]
I think I'm aliened out for the rest of summer.
I hope you'll be able to recover from all this.
I will. I've rediscovered my motivation.
Thanks. -What happened here?
Well, Helen, I warned you
the world wasn't ready for flashy trains.
Ugh. I know I'm not.
