You've eluded me each and every time,
but I'm on the case,
and I'll see to it that today, Connie,
the most elusive on condors,
I'm finally going to get your photo.
[ Bird call ]
Come on, Grandpa.
By the time you're done, we'll all by your age.
And we need to find all the birds on this list
so we can become honorary Ranger Pals.
White-throated swift, dendragapus,
American kestrel, what kind of made-up names are these?
All noble birds, but nothing compares to Connie.
She's a 55-pound bird of prey,
and she's also extremely camera shy.
She's my white whale.
I thought you said she was a bird.
Ah, forget about Connie.
I bet I can find every last one of the birds on that list.
Look, I just caught a photo of the rare brown-crested dweeb.
It's not always about quantity.
It's quality that's most important.
Yeah, yeah. Have fun whale-watching.
Bye, Grandpa.
A stone I seek is close,
but I won't be able to secure it with this mewling infestation.
Hyah! [ Birds screeching ]
Be gone, you infuriating fowl!
[ Squawking ]
Finally, the prize, the sacred rune of replication.
There will finally be enough of me
to shape this world as I see fit.
Joined with the activation stone
I already possess, I shall be twice as powerful.
[ Groaning ]
Welcome, fellow Hex.
It's a pleasure to be working with you, fellow Hex.
[ Birdcalling ]
Check it out. I got tons of pictures.
Whoops, guess my thumb was in that one.
Oh, uh...
All of your pictures are weak.
What?! Check out mine.
Nice one, huh?
You only took two photos?
Quality over quantity like Grandpa said.
Well, let's just see how good you are
when I give this camera a little upgrade.
Huh, no upgrade.
You know, I haven't been able to call up Upgrade in a while.
Maybe the watch is sick of you using it to cheat.
I'm not cheating. You're just impossibly good at everything!
Aw, that's so sweet of you to say!
Well, in that case, you won't mind me using the watch
to get a few more opportunities faster, right?
Hey! Say cheese!
Contest over. For you, maybe.
These new photos are all blurry.
What?
That doesn't look natural.
Hop on. Woo-hoo!
Whoa, this cave is pretty big.
No sign of what that blast was, though.
Hold on.
Aw! Ew.
It's an abandoned baby condor.
Dibs on picture! Quit it, you'll scare it.
No, serious, we can't leave it here all alone.
Here to try and ruin my grand plans once more?
Hex? That freaky light came from you?
Can't say it's un-Hex-pected!
That was awful.
We'll see how resilient your sense of humor
is once it goes up against the power of the ancients.
What was that, some kind of magic kidney bean?
Heed his warning, child.
Wh-what? Two Hexes?
Yuck! Yuck indeed.
These modest caves are the resting place
of the long-forgotten rune of replication.
Once joined with the activation stone in my possession,
I am able to replicate any earthly thing I desire,
including myself. Oh, yeah?
Maybe you should replicate my fist, then I can --
Can -- Come on, watch. you're embarrassing me!
Hey, let me go! I'm afraid not.
Farewell, nemesis.
Ah! What are you doing?
I will be the one to end him.
He is my enemy.
No, he's my enemy. Finally!
Why does it matter who deals with him?
Is it not the same goal that we seek?
Here's my hot take on that!
Gwen, book it to the exit! Got it!
One of your pathetic altered forms
cannot stand before the combined might of two Hexes!
[ Panting ]
Whoa!
This may be more of a problem than I thought.
Don't be afraid.
That's my cousin, and he's pretty great.
Bisto hanny gorgo.
You're taking too long.
Bisto hanny gorgoran bratorga!
This is the end for you, boy!
End me? Not today!
But I've got something for you.
That hurt.
I'm invincible as long as I have my own back.
[ Laughs ]
And I got another one with both your names on it.
Throw again, and we'll see who gets hurt.
Oh, tough guys,
you might want to stick with problem number one.
Ha! Finish him!
Figures I'd have to handle this myself.
What? The replicator stone! I got it!
Oops, uh.
Hand over that cloud rat!
No way! It's endangered.
Save the bird, Gwen. I got this.
Un-uh, I don't got this?
Keep running!
Wait, stop. We've got to hide, and fast.
Aah!
Where did they go? They must be near.
[ Squawking ]
[ Chittering ]
Ya! Rodents.
Come. We must pursue them
before they get away with the stone, thanks to you.
How dare you place blame solely on me.
Whoa, nice save, Grandpa.
A true bird-watcher is always on the lookout
for the perfect moment,
but even I wasn't ready for two Hexes.
Yeah, Hex came out of nowhere, and now, he's got a double
thanks to some magic cave rock or something.
Oh, and Gwen's baby bird rescue ate it.
Well, I'm just glad you two are safe,
but we still have to deal with Hex.
If I had a double, I could handle those two with no sweat.
The way they've been bickering, we might not need two aliens,
just one solid plan.
They eluded us, and it's all due to your foolishness.
Silence! It's clear that we need more than two of us to handle
that wretched boy and his family.
What happened to the awesome combined might of two Hexes?
You have been a thorn in my side for too long!
Your side? My side!
Looks like they're taking the bait.
Go, Ben! Oh, no, I've been spotted.
Her fowl has the replicator stone.
You, secure her. I will pursue the boy.
Finally, we agree on something.
Enjoy your final flight.
You? Aw, man. I wanted the real Hex.
Whoa! I am the real Hex.
Don't worry, baby bird.
This one isn't as powerful as the real Hex.
How dare you! I am the real Hex!
I don't know. I'm pretty sure the real Hex
would have caught me by now.
Hyah!
Whoa!
Do you really trust the other you
to just share all the mystical artifacts he finds?
Oh, this way.
Your ploy to undermine my trust in my other self is...
-Hmm. -Hmm.
Sure, yeah,
I bet he's planning for you to get a bunch of treasure,
and when you're done, whammo, he absorbs you
and takes all the loot.
Foolish child, that's precisely what I plan on doing.
Gah!
Whoa! Dude, chillax. That's not safe.
Neither is this!
You sure I'm your biggest enemy here, Hexy?
Looks like uglier you is about
to take back the replicating rock thingy.
What? He wouldn't dare!
I will have that stone, girl.
Now, give me that bird!
Be careful with her!
This trivial chase has come to a close.
Yes, now hand over the activation stone.
You, give me the rune of replication.
I am not at your command, you copy.
Copy? I will not take orders from my own shadow self.
I am the original!
[ Both grunting ]
There's your opening, Ben.
Both: You think this can hold me?!
That's right -- you need both hands
to cast your little spells, don't you?
I don't think either one of you guys
is responsible enough to have these.
All we have to do now is wait for Grandpa.
He said he was bringing backup.
[ Both chuckling ] Very clever, younglings.
You used my own insecurities against myself.
Yep. Turns out you're your own worst enemy.
So true.
Perhaps it is time for a truce.
I feel my full self once more.
That wasn't part of our plan.
It has occurred to me that more isn't always better.
Luckily, one of me is more than enough for all of you.
Instead of copying myself,
I will discover how to double my power.
You can try, but I still have 10 aliens
that have something to say about that.
Whoa!
My power is even stronger than before.
[ Bird screeching ] What? Ah!
Don't worry, men. The cavalry is here.
Say what? Away, you fowl creatures!
No, the stones! Get away from those!
No, no!
That should hold them for a bit
while we wait for the authorities.
Whatever happens,
he won't be getting those stones back anytime soon.
Who knows where they'll end up after the migration season?
That was amazing, Grandpa.
[ Squawking ] What's that?
[ Gasps ] Connie!
[ Screeches ] Take cover.
Wait for it.
You see that, kids?
You don't need to take thousands,
or even hundreds, of pictures.
Sometimes, it's better to patient
and wait for the perfect moment
to take just one.
