This is dodge at pump 32.
Nothing new...
As usual.
What the —
Come on! Come on!
Are we there yet?
Does it look like it?
I'm just saying we
Should hurry.
Grandpa max wants us to check
Out those things.
Another half-Hour —
Less if i kick in the ram jets.
You have ram jets?
No ram jets.
Trying to sleep.
Kevin?
Speed trap coming up.
Highway patrolman with a radar
Gun.
We're on duty.
Can you do something?
Can i do something?
Cloaking field gives me
A headache.
Speeding tickets give
Mea headache.
Well, that's unnerving.
So? What's the big
Deal if they eat a few rocks?
Looked in a mirror
Lately?
Pretty cool.
I.D. Mask?
Well, you lookhuman, anyway.
Maybe now's not the
Time for that.
But you still want to
Stay away from those things.
Yeah, they'll have you
For lunch.
Hero time!
Humongousaur!
Humongousaur! Humongousaur!
Humongousaur! Ugh!
Ben, where are you?
Ben!
Ow!
You got to be kidding me!
With you in a minute.
Brainstorm?
Bewildering.
Can't hold it anymore!
Whoa!
Those cow things bit
Me!
Precisely why i
Chose to surround them with the
Metal rails.
I observed that they only eat
Stone.
Lucky me.
Those are pyroxovors.
I haven't seen one in years.
How come we never
Heard of them?
Kid, there's lots of
Species here on earth you won't
Find in any book.
That's where fairy tales come
From.
Unicorns, trolls, pixies —
They're all real.
Even bigfoot?
Don't be ridiculous.
That's a guy in a suit.
Do you know what drove
Them to the surface?
I don't know.
Something scared them or made
It too uncomfortable to stay
Underground.
They're walking tanks.
What could make them
Uncomfortable?
Let's go find out.
How far does this go?
I don't know, but this
Is as far as wego.
End of the road.
Now what?
You had to ask.
I'll turn into jetray
And slow us down!
You'll dent the roof!
Plan "b"?
I got one.
Cool!
Yeah, but that can't
Be good for the suspension.
The car won't fit.
We'll have to go on foot.
There must be another
Way.
What, are you claustrophobic?
I am so not
Claustrophobic.
I-I just can't stand being in
Tight, close spaces, okay?
You have a problem with that?
I'll go first.
Dark.
No problem.
"tnt."
What did you do that
For?
Cut it out!
Youcut it out!
The room's filled with dynamite!
You almost blew us up!
How was i supposed to
Know?
I don't know.
Reading?
I'll handle the
Lighting.
Move!
Find some cover.
I'll makesome cover.
There he goes!
No, he doesn't!
Big chill: big chill!
Aah!
Big chill: cool down, or i'll
Do it for you.
As soon as you let me go, i'm
A-Blowin' you up!
Big chill: sure, you will.
It's pos— aah!
Don't be afraid.
It's still me.
Not really helpin', sonny!
You're still ugly as all
Get-Out!
What's your name,
Old-Timer?
Moldywarp!
That's what your friends
Call you?
Friends?
I don't got no friends!
You're the last of your
Kind.
No such luck!
Underworld is crawlin' with
Folks like me.
I just don't like 'em much!
And they don't like me!
You don't say.
What are you doing with
All the explosives?
Oh, i've been stealin' that
Stuff from the surface-Dwellers
For years!
Some of this looks
Pretty old.
It is!
Tnt, blastin' caps,
Nitroglycerine!
Primitive, but they sure get the
Job done!
What job is that?
Protectin' my herd!
Your herd?
Yeah! The pyroxovors!
Real beauties, ain't they?
They tried to eat my
Hand.
You shouldn't let 'em do
That.
Uh-Huh.
He doesn't know anything.
We should ditch.
I heard you!
Why were you throwing
Rocks at us, moldywarp?
I couldn't get to my
Explosives.
That's what i mostly use on the
Other fella!
What other fella?
The claim jumper!
Don't you know nothin'?
No, not so far.
No wonder the pyroxovors came to
The surface.
It's like a furnace down here.
Is it always this hot?
No!
That's what i've been tryin' to
Fix.
It's only been hot since all
That magma started seepin' up.
Magma?
Whoa.
Who dares intrude
On the lair of the — oh, not
You again!
Ah! So you doknow him!
Volcanus?
Yeah, we know him.
We don't like him, though.
The feeling is
Mutual.
Destroy them!
Come on.
We hammered these losers last
Time.
Is that all you got?
You had to ask.
Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We didn't even know you were
Here, okay?
And, by the way, why
Areyou here?
Remember all that
Taedenite that i took off of
You?
Yeah. I remember.
Well, it was worth
A fortune.
And you'll be glad to know i
Spent it wisely.
See, this is myplanet now.
I filed a claim, paid the fees,
The whole bit.
Completely legal.
What does that mean —
"planetary renovation permit"?
Exactly what it
Says!
I get to change the atmosphere,
The terrain, the oceans any way
I want.
That's what the bomb's
For!
Yep!
I drop it down the shaft, it
Explodes in the magma at the
Center of the earth, and before
You know it, i have all the
Comforts of home.
Wait. Home?
Where you come from, on a cool
Day, it's 850 degrees.
Uh-Huh.
You thought iwas crazy!
You can't do that!
Of course i can!
Watch.
You handle the runts and
The robots.
I'll stop volcanus.
Yee-Haw!
I was hopin' we'd get to some
Fightin'!
Somebody do
Something about her!
Harsh.
I blows 'em up all the time.
I think they like it.
It's hero time, tin man!
Maybe my watch is fast.
Ben, what are you waiting for?
Maybe it's the heat!
Whoa!
Maybe you're doing it
Wrong!
Aah!
Now get that varmint!
Spidermonkey!
Huh?
Stop the
Countdown.
Make me!
Stay put, will you?
Ugh!
I'm stuck!
I know.
I stuck you.
Now... Stop the countdown.
I said stop it, not speed it up!
My mistake.
When that bomb goes off, the
Magma will come right up into
This chamber.
It'll kill you, too!
Are you crazy?
That wouldbe
Crazy.
That doesn't look
Good.
Ben, what are you
Doing?
I can grab the
Bomb when it drops.
Spidermonkey isn't
Strong enough to catch something
That heavy!
No, but i know
Someone who is.
Humongousaur!
Ugh!
I really have to get that fixed.
Ben, if that bomb
Reaches the earth's core...
We're toast.
I'm on it!
Well?
We're still here,
Aren't we?
So, then... Everything's
Okay?
Abso— wait.
Where's moldywarp?
Um, what's with the
Timers?
I figure what's to keep
Volcanus from comin' back and
Droppin' another bomb down the
Shaft, huh?
After all, he did set up
Paperwork.
I love it.
Volcanus spent a fortune on
Filing fees and got nothing in
Return.
And we saved earth from
Being turned into a giant hot
Plate.
Now all we have to do is
Get the pyroxovors back
Underground.
I'll handle that!
First, what say we celebrate
With a nice supper?
Supper?
Yes, sirree, bob!
This looks like a plump one!
You eat them?
'course i eats 'em!
They're my herd!
Now, who wants barbecue?
Ew!
Now that you mention
It, i haven't had anything all
Day.
Ow!
What?
