[music playing]
[powerful cry]
[Dr. Queed's voice] Wake up, Cleo!
Wake up!
Get up, you old creosote-scented dock worker!
Huh?
[Dr. Queed's voice] Wake up!
[gasps]
Wha-- what-- what happened?
Aah!
Oh, you fell asleep while I was telling you
about my Roxambulan slug-hunting safari.
See, the trick to slug-hunting
is to learn the difference between a slug
and a really juicy booger!
Eh, great story. Anyway, I feel better now.
Is it cool if I bounce?
No bouncing!
It's bad for the bed.
But you may leave...
as long as you promise to take itslow!
Oh, yeah. For sure.
The slowest.
[onlookers shouting]
[Dennis] Great job finding Octavian, Cleo!
[Cleo] Later, Dennis!
I gotta get to the Council...
[low] before I'm too late to see him.
Zaid Antonius,
you are guilty of high treason,
a crime punishable by a lifetime sentence.
However... because you only acted
to save the lives of your parents,
Dahab and Askari Antonius,
we will soften our verdict.
You are expelled from the Academy, effective immediately.
-[gavel bangs] -[sighs]
[Zaid] Thank you, Administrant.
I hope to win back your trust someday.
Zaid!
Zaid, wait!
[both grunting]
Uh... [soft chuckle]
I'm-I'm so sorry it had to end like this, Zaid.
Who says this has got to be the end?
Thank you for all you've done to help us, Cleo.
We will find a way to repay you someday.
We have to go, Zaid.
See you around, Cleopatra...
[bell dings]
...on one planet or another.
Uh...
Huh?
[romantic music rises]
-Cleo, we have news! -Do you mind?
Kind of having a moment here
while my crush goes away, maybe forever.
Oh, oh. Yeah, of course.
Right. Because of feelings and stuff.
[clears throat]
[romantic music rises]
Ahh...
[clears throat, grunts]
'Kay, I'm done. Whatcha got?
You missed Khepra's other announcement.
Given Cleopatra's impressive confrontation with Octavian,
the Council hereby entrusts her--
eh, wherever she is--
to lead a special mission to find the Uta Tablet.
We don't know what power the Uta holds,
but we do know it's imperative that we find it
before Octavian does.
Leading a special mission? Me?
Am I crazy-- don't answer that--
or is this totally a huge honor?
Uh, yes. And an even huger responsibility.
Wow. Well, then, what are we waiting for?
Let's go get us an Uta Tablet!
Uh, not so fast, Cleo.
Good point.
We should take it slow...
so we can skip more classes.
No, it's just... we don't know where the Uta Tablet is.
However, I do have a theory.
Is this going to be a lot of complicated science babble?
[excited shriek] It sure is!
While Cleo was on Octavian's ship,
I scanned the Ata Tablet's energy signature.
I figure it stands to reason
that the Uta's signature would be similar.
So... I searched the galaxy for matching wavelengths
and identified several possible locations of the Uta.
Wow.
Brian's theory is worth testing.
[soft gasp]
You three will go to each of these locations
and look for the Uta.
Cleo, as mission leader,
I trust you to use your best judgment,
but do keep me closely informed.
I won't let you down, Khensu.
You'll be the closest and the informed-est.
[clears throat] Come on, team,
let's hit the space!
Ooh! This is a chance for me
to try out my newest invention...
[panting]
...a portable suspension blaster!
[audibly struggling]
[breathless panting]
[audibly struggling]
Portable, you said?
[panting] Yup.
It allows you to freeze creatures in suspended animation
without hurting them!
[audibly struggling]
How long should I let him do this
before I tell him he can't bring it?
I don't know. I could watch this for hours.
[Brian] Come on!
[Brian cries out]
[Cleo]First stop: the planet Kiniun.
Huh. Kind of a dump, isn't it?
Just caves and tide pools and...
Ugh!
[all cry out]
And deadly geysers.
Cool.
Okay, well, no sign of the Uta Tablet.
The energy signature I detected appears to be
from natural sources corrupted by Kiniun's thick atmosphere.
-[alien chirrups] -[gasps]
You guys hear that?
It sounds like someone's in trouble.
It's coming from over there!
Cleo, who knows what's in there?
[alien chirrups]
[chirruping continues]
-Whoa! -Ohh! Ohh!
It could be a trap!
[chirruping continues]
[low, sinister growl]
[all grunting and groaning]
[all shouting and gasping]
[gasps]
[all grunting]
[Cleo] Aaahhh!
-[Brian] What is it? -[Akira] Are you okay?
It's... so...
so... cute!
Oh, it's the cutest thing I've ever seen!
And look! He has eggs!Eggs!
[happy shriek] My heart is bursting with all the feels!
[baby talk] Oh, don't be scared, my little buddy-wuddy.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
[Brian gasps] I don't think he's scared ofyou!
[Akira cries out]
[fearsome roar]
That is gross!
They're mole-crabs,
an endangered species native to Kiniun,
known for their indescribably revolting looks...
Well, that checks out.
...and their insatiable hunger!
[chirrups]
[roaring]
We've got to do something.
[battle cry]
Shouldn't we leave nature alone?
Circle of life, all that?
Brian! Have you no heart?
I have a lubricant pump.
[exertion grunts]
[mole-crabs growl]
You guys create a diversion while I rescue the little guy.
-[Cleo] Whoa...! -Should we...?
-Kiss? -What?
I was gonna say dance. Uh...
Oh, yes. Ha! Ha ha!
I meant, I meant to say dance, it just came out wrong.
That's weird! Ha ha ha ha! Oh, words are so weird!
[energetic humming]
[Akira] Whoo-hoo!
Whoo! Okay!
Now we're dancing!
[roaring]
[both scream]
Why...?
[chirrups]
[Cleo speaks loving gibberish]
[Akira] Uh, Cleo, eyes on the prize!
[combat grunts]
Whoa!
[grunting]
[gasping]
[cries out]
[crying out]
[mole-crabs roaring]
[all panting]
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
We made it! Ha!
I don't know about this, Cleo.
He could be... diseased.
[chirrups]
[Cleo] Brian!
You offended him!
Come on, you can't offend an animal.
[chirrups]
Well... maybe you can.
[distressed chirps]
What is it, buddy?
[distressed chirps]
Something about your eggs?
Don't worry. I will protect your eggs with my life.
With your life?
You just met these eggs, like, five minutes ago.
Yeah, and not to be negative
because you know that's more Brian's thing,
but how do we know this little critter is trustworthy?
We've been tricked by cute things before:
cough-Zaid-cough!
I hear you,
but I disagree for three reasons--
one, Mihos is way too cute to be evil;
two, Mihos can't even talk,
so how can he be evil;
and three, I've already given Mihos a name,
and that name is Mihos.
But you are gonna tell Khensu.
[scoffs] Of course I am!
Just like any responsible team leader would.
[wristband beeps]
Aah! Khensu, hi!
Cleo, what's your mission status?
No sign of the Uta on Kiniun.
Copy that. Anything else to report?
Nope! Nothing worth reporting comes to mind.
Um, you? Anything to report?
Things good at home?
I'll see you back at the Academy.
[swish]
-[Cleo] Whew. -[Akira] Uh, Cleo?
Did you forget a little something?
There's no reason for Khensu to know.
He'd just blow it up into some huge deal.
It'll be easier if we handle it ourselves, trust me.
-[kiss] -[chirrups]
Welcome home, Mihos.
Now, you take a nap while I run to class, okay?
[chirrups]
Aw, don't worry. Your eggs are safe.
You're gonna be such a good daddy!
[door swooshes]
[chirrups]
[suspenseful music rises]
Mihos, I'm home!
Whoa! Ohh!
Mihos, I know you love me,
but this is a little...
[gasps] What happened?
[chirrups]
Huh?
Team brainstorm. What do we do?
Maybe I could invent a neural translation device
that will allow Mihos to tell us what happened.
-[fierce shriek] -On second thought...
I don't want to know what Mihos thinks about me.
[Akira gasps] Uh, guys, guys!
Uh, the egg, it's, it's doing a, a, a thing!
[Mihos chirrups]
Aww.
Mihos has the new-parent jitters.
[egg cracks]
[all gasp and giggle]
Mihos!
[all groan]
[growls]
[mighty belch]
It-it's okay, Mihos.
Newborn babies always look disgusting,
and, anyway, inner beauty is more important than--
Cleo! This isn't a baby Mihos.
It's a baby mole-crab!
Gah! Hide its ugly face forever!
[mole-crab growls]
[grunts] Wait, so...
why was Mihos in a cave guarding mole-crab eggs?
Maybe he wasn't guardingthem--
maybe they were going to feed him to the babies!
[Mihos chirrups]
[Cleo] Correct me if I'm wrong--
and I really hope I am--
but does this mean the other six baby mole-crabs
have hatched and are wandering around the Academy?
[Mihos sighs and chirrups]
We should tell Khensu, shouldn't we?
Please say yes, please!
I'd love it if you said yes!
-No. -Darn it!
They're just a bunch of tiny,
utterly revolting crabby thingies!
We can handle them.
How do we find them?
[Dennis] Ew, ew, ew! It's so disgusting!
I have a hunch.
[mighty roar]
[Dennis screams]
[swoons]
[door swooshes]
[Mihos chirrups]
[Akira hums]
[moans]
This never happened...
Dennis.
[panicked shouts]
[translation voice] Scream. Scream.
Terror. Revulsion.
Hey, E'geke-Ek'gek,
can you keep this under wraps?
It's, uh, hush-hush for, uh, reasons--
- real good ones. - [distressed cries]
[translation voice] That thing will haunt my dreams forever.
[group audibly struggling]
Are these boxes getting smaller?
Actually, the mole-crabs are getting bigger by the minute.
It's called accelerated puberty.
Like regular puberty isn't bad enough.
How can we trap the rest of them?
Sounds like a job for...
my portable suspension blaster!
[triumphal music plays]
[Akira and Cleo] Eh.
[exertion grunts]
Can't we all just agree...
to call this a...
regularsuspension blaster?
[exertion grunts]
Hi-yah!
[battle cries]
Huh?
[Cleo sighs]
[Brian and Akira grunt and strain]
[Brian and Akira gasping]
[up-tempo music plays]
[Cleo] Hi-yah!
[battle cries]
[grunting]
Whew.
[crystal cracks]
-[fearsome roar] -[Brian screams]
[pants]
[gasping]
[panting] Guys, they're getting too big for the suspension blaster.
Good thing we already got all six!
Um... weren't there seven?
Uh-oh.
Gulp.
[audibly straining]
[panting]
[door whooshes]
-[mole-crab roars] -[gasps]
Um...
oops.
[mole-crab roars]
[Mihos chirrups]
[gasps] I need a bag to breathe into.
Guys, pull it together.
Let's just freeze this turd-face and move on.
[mole-crab roars]
[roaring]
[crystal cracks]
Ugh! It's too big!
The suspension blaster won't work!
[gasping]
[shrieks]
Not my Mistress Punchfire limited edition figurines!
[roaring and crashing]
On the bright side, now they're extra limited!
-[distressed cry] -Okay, no, no.
Gah! Nothing against your leadership skills, Cleo,
but we can't defeat this thing alone.
-We need backup. -No, we can--
[doorbell rings]
[roaring and crashing continue]
[sharp gasp]
Nothing to see here. Thank you. Goodbye.
Cleo,
what's going on?
Um... Brian's trying out this, uh, new thing, right?
-Uh... -[Brian screams]
[Brian] Not my comic books, you unfeeling monster!
[Cleo] It's called, um, ahem, rage therapy. Ahem.
[crash and roar]
[distant voices scream]
[Akira] Ahem. Uh...
[Brian whimpers]
Rage therapy, you say?
Why don't I give it a try?
[shouting] What on Mayet is going on here?!
[sighs] Khensu, I've got something to confess.
On Kiniun, I found this cutie-patootie Mihos
and his eggs that weren't really his eggs,
and I brought them back to--
Let's skip the details and get right to the apology.
[sighs] I'm sorry.
I should have told you right away.
You trusted me to be a leader,
and I-I didn't trust you to let me lead.
Yes, well, truth be told,
I made a similar mistake once with snot weasel eggs,
which were just as nasty as they sound--
maybe nastier.
-[Mihos chirrups] -[Khensu gasps]
[rapturous music plays]
Plus, it's hard to focus on being mad
when that thing is staring at me like that.
[chirrups]
Ahh. Pets aren't allowed at the Academy, Cleo.
Says the cat.
Um, can we discuss this later?
Uh, we kind of need to save the school now.
Oh, yes, that.
Right! So... how do we do it?
I don't have the faintest idea,
but I do know who will.
[Dr. Queed] I have just the thing.
I created it with my uncanny scientific brilliance!
[Cleo] Um...
I use it on my slug-hunting safaris.
It's a portable--
[audibly straining] oh, gah, it's very heavy--
high-tech... [audibly straining]
...live trap!
[loud clanking]
Does no one in the future know what "portable" means?
[chuckles]
[group audibly straining]
[Dr. Queed] See?
You load the trap with bait,
the trap scans the bait
and sends out a signal to lure in your prey!
So, Cleo, what kind of bait do we need?
Mole-crabs are only attracted to live prey.
-I'll do it. -[all gasp]
No, Cleo, it's too dangerous.
Come on, it's not so dangerous.
She'll have a full zero-point-four seconds
to escape the trap before she gets eaten
by an angry mole-crab.
Oh, wow, thatisdangerous!
[Akira] You can't!
Cleo, no!
I led us into this mess.
I gotta lead us out.
Set the trap, Doc.
[beeps]
[sighs] Here goes nothing.
[chirrups]
[Cleo] Ow! What the--?
[grunting] Get off me, Mihos!
Bad Mihos! Aaahhh!
Mihos, what are you doing?
Come back!
[chirrups]
[pulse radiates]
[voices cry out]
[mole-crab roars]
-Mihos! -Cleo!
Ay-yah-yah! Don't go in!
You'll trip the trap!
[grunts] Mihos, I know we just met, but...
you're my best friend.
Best friend? Wow.
[all gasp]
[fearsome roar]
[battle cries]
[all grunt]
I can't watch.
[chirrups]
Go!
Hurry!
[mole-crab roars]
[Mihos chirrups]
[Cleo] Noooooo!
[sighs]
He was the bravest...
whatever-he-was...
there ever was.
Oh, Cleo.
[sad whimpers and sighs]
[Mihos chirrups]
[Cleo] What?
[chirrups]
Mihos! You're alive!
[chirrups]
[mole-crab sniffs]
[aggressive grunts]
[panting]
[chirrups]
Oh, Mihos, you clever little...
[speaks loving gibberish]
Yay. Your best friend is back. Whoo.
Khensu, please tell me I don't have to take Mihos back to Kiniun.
Kiniun?
Why, this creature isn't native to Kiniun.
If you found him there,
he's most likely a lost pet. [gasps]
[sobbing] A sad, adorable little lost pet baby
in need of a home!
[cries out]
Ohh, poor Mihos.
Come on, you're not gonna make me take him back now, are you?
Ahem.
Well, I'm not made of stone, am I?
For one thing, he just saved the Academy,
and for another...
he isso cute,
aren't you?
[speaking baby talk]
-[Mihos roars] -[Khensu gasps]
[clears throat]
My apologies, Mihos.
I respect your personal boundaries.
It's okay. He hates me too.
[Khensu] One thing--
Mihos is house-trained, right, Cleo?
[all gasp]
What?
[ominous music plays]
[Khensu shouts]
[Dr. Queed] Oh, it's so cute! Baby made a tinkle!
[Khensu] Cleo!
[theme music playing]
