THEME SONG: Hot Wheels Battle Force 5! Go! Hot Wheels Battle Force 5, drive together to survive. Fight! Fight! Fight in the Battle Zone, got to drive to survive, never back down, never give in, it's time to drive, Battle Force 5! Hot Wheels Battle Force 5! Hot Wheels Battle Force 5! -Well, do you have the Earth coordinates? -This is why you called me here, Krytus? I told you, I need more time! -And I need to find and destroy my twin, Sage. But if you can't help me, maybe it's time I exposed you as a traitor to Kalus, and let him administer some Vandal justice! -You'll get your coordinates. Ooh, the subspecies warriors! If they see me with you, they'll think, uh, hm-- you Red Sentient pig! Just maintaining my cover, Krytus -Well, well! Red Sentients and a Vandal. Two for the price of one. [growling] Remember what I said, Grimian. Agh! Attack! -Reverb, Chopper, keep those drones busy. I'll go for Krytus. Buster, Tangler, you got banana-boy. -Hm, banana split sounds good about now. Uh, anybody else starving? -Vert, if we're going to get Sherman back in time for lunch, we're going to fuse my Tangler. -Agura, ready to get Smash Claw? -Let's do it! -Stop them, before they reach the vortex! [beeping] -Ahh! Ugh! -Guh! [growling] -Ooh, ooh, huah! -Hands off the Buster! -What you doing? (YELLING) Sherman! Be careful! Ahh! [screams] SHERMAN (OFFSCREEN): Nooo! -Sherman! [whining] -Sherman's in the fuser vortex with Grimian? -What's that going to do? -Who knows? [grunting] SHERMAN (OFFSCREEN): Ugh! -Sherm, you OK? Come on, little bro, talk to me! -Ugh, ugh! Ooh, ooh, ugh! -Vert, something's wrong with Sherm. We've got to get him back up to the hub. STANDFORD (OFFSCREEN): I've got a bit of monkey business to take care first, 'eh, Vert? ZOOM (OFFSCREEN): For starters, why was he out here fighting Krytus on his own? -Good question, no time. Sherman's welfare comes first. Let's jet! -Sherm? Sherman? Yo? Oh, you're hearing is worse than Grandma's. Let's go! -Oh. Oh, oh, right. -It's you're lucky day, ape! -Ape? Ooh, huh, hey! Guys, uh, Spinner, wait for-- huh? Ooh! Ooh, ooh! When we entered the fuser vortex it switched our psychic energy. So I'm trapped inside Grimian's body. Uh, which means that Grimian is-- -Hey, don't worry, Sherm. It's all good. -This is bad. Ooh, ooh. And this is worse! -Where are we? -Well, at least your talking. Come on, dude, it's home sweet home. -You mean, uh, uh, Earth? -No, M-M-Mars. Of couse, it's Earth, bro. Wow, getting fuser smoothies really did a number on your noggin. -Ha, ha. -Yeah, but nothing a banana split back at Zeke's won't fix, huh, Sherman? -The hub first, guys. I want Sage to give him a full body scan. -Grb! Out for a little drive in the country, Grimian? -Silence! I want to hear what possessed or comrade to sneak away from Planet Vandal. -Gah, er. -Answer me! What brings you out here alone, Grimian? -Oh, uh, uh, uh, there was a, uh, a storm shock. Yeah. And I didn't want to bother you. And-- and, uh, as a fellow primate, unlike the humans-- ha, um, I mean, subspecies-- I psychically sensed that they would be in this Battle Zone. So I came to do a little, uh, recall. -Primate? Psychically? -Words of the subspecies' black magicians, Captain Kalus. -Ooh, ooh! And weak magic it is! Huh! Since the subspecies weren't here. Ha! Oh, well, too bad. Uh, oh, whoa! Oh, ho, ho. -And I sense something stinks! SHERMAN ALIAS GRIMIAN (OFFSCREEN): Ugh! -What should we do, Captain? -Watch him, closely. SHERMAN ALIAS GRIMIAN (OFFSCREEN): Ooh, ooh. Ha, ha. -It appears Sherman is in good physical condition, although his neuro-stress readings suggest he is unusually anxious. -Anxious? He just went through a tornado with a giant ape, Sage. -That would explain the anomalous readings. You are free to resume your duties, Sherman. -Ugh! -Hey, everybody, great news! [beeping] [sniffing] -Data log entry for Krytus, mission update, I have breached the subspecies' headquarters. And the Earth portal coordinates are close at hand. [squeaking] -So, Grimian, since we've been back, you haven't insulted me once! -Duh, yeah. Tired. I'll insult after I rest. -Aren't your quarters that way? -You think I don't know that, uh, bug-brain? -Where are you going? We promised Kalus we'd go hunting. -Hunting, yeah. Uh, of course. Uh, I'll go grab my gear. -Isn't the armory that way? -Bug-brain? Why is that an insult? -Hah! [sniffing] -I smell a carnivorat. Good eating, four degrees starboard. [squeaking] -Up there. Grimian, start climbing. -You're the ape! If it jumped in a river, we'd chase it! Hurry! [grunting] -OK, it an ape can do it, I can do it! Oo--oo-ooh! Ugh! KALUS (OFFSCREEN): You were right, for once, that ape is not Grimian. But who is he? -Looking for a prescription for that butt rash, bro? Huh? -Ooh, ooh. What? No. Just memorizing the Earth coordinates, in case, you know, the Buster's nav ever crashes. -OK. Except you're memorizing the calorie count of last week's lunch. You're not going to find Earth's digits in the Medibay, dude. The navigation data is where it's always been. [beeping] -Ah, of-- of course. -Still feeling woozy from that Battle Zone blenderizing, huh? -I'm fine. SPINNER (OFFSCREEN): Yeah. But not nearly as fine as you'll be after some serious chill time. Hey, I know, let's head to Zeke's for that banana split! -Not now. -With your favorite, extra pickles. -Not hungry! Ooh, ooh! -Ugh! -I have work to do. -Hey, hey! -Zoom, something's way wrong with Sherman. Don't let him out of your sight. I've got to go talk to Vert. -478 degrees by 2053X. Earth coordinates noted. Ooh, ooh! Will be delivered to Krytus via storm shock communique. -You taking to yourself, big guy? -I'm working on something, you sub-- teammate. -So what you working on, buddy? Can I help? Aw, come on! (LAUGHINGLY) What's up, Sherm? -Spin, you're overreacting. Your brother is just a little shook up from that fuser thing. -Well, that's what I thought, too, until "it" happened. -It? -I invited him to go for a banana split with pickles! And he said, he wasn't hungry. -He said that? In those words? -Um, hm. -Sherman is never not hungry. [munching] [battle horn sounding] -Eat, Grimian. Hatch has outdone himself. -Oh, I'm not hungry. [laughing] -Not hungry? Ha, good one! Ha, ha, ha. [growling] -Greetings, Grimian. I hear you lost the carnivorat, but were lucky enough to snag some of you beloved leechy slugs. Enjoying them? -Delicious! -Aw, yes. You ate like this at the victory feast, after the great Battle of Maroar. -Right! Remember Maroar! -How? Since you were not a member of our tribe till years after the Battle of Maroar? -All those leechy slugs went to his brain. -Or maybe not! -Yah! We have a spy in our midst. -Pptt! -Ugh! [growling] -Stop him! Now! -Of course! I misinterpreted his cerebral anomaly. These are not Sherman's brainwave patterns. Apparently, during the fuser malfunction, Grimian and Sherman's conscious minds were exchanged. -Great! We've allowed a Vandal free access to the hub! -Inside my brother's body? -I'm afraid so. -Argh! Uh, uh, di-- If that's Grimian, then where's Sherman? How do we find him? Oh yeah, and how do we fix him? -Now that I understand the concept, I feel confident that I can modify the fuser to reverse the effects. -Oh! That's just great! So we have to do is search the multiverse! That should only take, oh, I don't know, a billion years? -Chill, Spin. Sherman's in Grimian's body. Grimian is a Vandal, which means-- -We start on planet Vandal. -Right. If Sherman's there, you know he'll try to signal us. Go tell the others what's up, but not, you know who. -Got it. I think I'll Vandal-proof the Buster a bit while I'm at it. -Now we just need to come up with a phony mission to get the real Grimian back to planet Vandal. -Without him becoming suspicious. -Guys, Sage picked up some weird Sentient signals from planet Vandal. Not sure what they are, but we'd better investigate. -Planet Vandal? -Oh, I hate that planet. -What? Oh, oh, oh, right. Me too. -Ah-- ba-- uh, I'd better drive, bro. In case you're still, um, you know, not quite yourself. -Huh? Oh, oh. An escort back to Vandal! Ooh, ooh, ooh! I just need a strong enough signal and this Sentient transmitter can send the Earth coordinates directly to Krytus. Ooh, ooh, ooh! These fools have just sealed their fate! -Uh, I can't keep playing cat and mouse. I've got to find a way to signal the team-- if they're looking for me. Oh, they got to be looking for me. Aah! At least, I sure hope they are. Just need a little physics, geometry, and a whole lot of luck. -OK, fan out, team. We've got to cover as much ground as possible if we're going to find, you know-- -That-- that thing we're looking for. -Um, hm. -Yep. Right, cool. -Exactly, uh huh. -This mysterious Sentient signal, something doesn't seem quite, ooh, ooh, right. Can we trust the Blue Sentient? -You mean Sage? -We trust her as much as you, buddy. -And we trust you a lot, bro. VERT (OFFSCREEN): So we keep looking, Sherman. SHERMAN ALIAS GRIMIAN (OFFSCREEN): Ooh, ooh. Ooh! -Captain Kalus, it is almost like the subspecies is driving in some sort of [slurps], uh, pattern. -Yes, the pattern of wounded prey. -Better go back over it one more time. My only chance is to signal somebody. -Agh! [growling] -Agura, any sign of anything? There! -I see it! -That symbol, it looks like yours-- ooh, ooh, or ours. -Looks like somebody's signaling us. So what's with the transmitter, bro? -Uh, I'm feeling much better now, brother. Maybe I should drive. Ugh! [screams] -OK, if you're here, guys, look up! -Nice try, spy! Let's give him a lava bath! SPINNER (OFFSCREEN): Get off of me! VERT (OFFSCREEN): Spinner, is everything OK? What's your 20? [fighting sounds on the radio] -Hey, you! -Aah! -I'm just tying up some loose-- -Whoa! - --ends. Yes! -Whoa! Ugh! -Ahhhh! -Huah! -Wow! -Ahh-- ha, ha, ha! -Ugh, ugh! [beeping] -Hey! Huah! [laughing] VERT (OFFSCREEN): Spinner, come in. Where are you? -Meet me at the bottom of the volcano with the infuser thingy. [beeping] -Begin upload now. -Nooo! -Aah! Ugh! [screams] -Nooo! -Activating refusing device. Sherman, Spinner, get ready, guys. -Ooh! [beeping] -Huh? Argh! -That's too bad. Hm! I was just getting used to this whole ape thing. Whoa! -Just know that I never meant to hurt you, bro, but I've always wanted to do this! -Aah! Aah--ahh! -And nobody tell him about it! -Ooh, ooh! -Argh! Puah! Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh-uh! -Sherman? -Oh, ugh, ah-hah! Ah! -Sherm! -Uh, hey, big bro. Man, am I ever sore. Would did you guys do to me? [laughing] -Uh, hey, how 'bout that banana split? -Extra pickles? -(LAUGHINGLY) Let'*** Zeke's guys. -Uhh! Kalus. -Ha! Your friends aren't here to help you, now. Time to end this charade, and find out who's really inside that ape suit. -Huh! -Well, where are the Earth coordinates you promised? -Uh, do-- do you-- do you have any idea what I've been through? And-- and where were you? Ooh, oh, thanks for nothing! -Argh! THEME SONG: Hot Wheels Battle Force 5! [theme music] [theme music] THEME SONG: Battle Force 5! Hot Wheels Battle Force 5!
