Spark: A Space Tail Page #2

Get ready for the wild life

- Good trick?

- I don't know.

"Press the green banana"?

What?

Oh! Hey, guys.

Uh, royal plumber here.

Yep, those pipes are gonna

have to be replaced.

I think Zhong's not getting enough

fiber, if you know what I mean.

Get him!

Oh! Oh!

Intruder alert!

Seal all halls on 20!

Ohh!

Press the green banana!

Huh? Wha?

Ouch! Okay, okay, you got me.

Please don't shoot.

Oh.

It's just a door handle.

Why are you here?

Where are Vix and Chunk?

Uh, they were, uh, busy.

So, uh, I came instead.

I told them never to...

Excuse me, uh, Your Queenliness?

Wait. You're the Queen?

Zhong's Queen?

You sent for Vix and Chunk?

I don't understand.

S-Sorry to disturb you, my lady.

And might I say

you look lovely this evening.

No.

Get on with it.

Right. Okay.

There's been a break-in.

So, uh... we're gonna

have to search your room.

Zhong's orders.

- Can we come in?

- You can get lost.

We have very little time.

Here. Take this.

- What is it?

- A kraken finder.

Uh, Miss, uh, Queen?

Give it to Vix and Chunk. Hide it

and make sure it's never found again.

We're gonna have to, uh...

break your door down.

The fate of the universe depends on you.

We're coming in.

So sorry. Please don't

hit us with anything.

I don't get it. You're supposed

to be on Zhong's side.

Things aren't always

what they seem, Spark.

Huh?

How dare you interrupt my bath!

Oh! So sorry,

Your Queenliness!

Listen, you imbeciles.

You will escort this handmaiden outside

the castle grounds and ask no questions.

You will sweep the castle grounds

twice, give yourselves 40 lashes

and bring me a fruit bowl!

Is that clear?

- Oh, very much so.

- Yes, indeed.

If you do not follow these royal commands,

your insolence will be reported to Zhong!

Hup, hup, hup, hup! Hup, hup, hup, hup!

Hup, hup, hup, hup!

Don't ask.

Wait till you see this, Floyd.

It's the fate of the universe.

It would give Zhong ultimate power.

But... in the right hands,

maybe it could take that power away.

Maybe...

Maybe that person could do to Zhong

what Zhong did to all of Bana.

Let's go find us a kraken!

Bananastar, take us into deep space.

- Please push the "on" button.

- Oh. Okay. Got it. Thank you.

Okay, kraken finder, find us the kraken!

Huh?

Okay. Any time now.

Let's go.

It didn't come with instructions.

Oh, no!

No, Mr. Mango, I said banana cream.

Chunk! Wake up!

Peppercorn ranch.

The panda ate the pot stickers!

Spark went to the palace!

He has a kraken finder!

Spark ate the pot stickers?

To the kraken!

Come on, kraken!

Kraken!

What's it gonna take to get you working?

So the little kraken finder said,

"I think I can! I think I can!"

Clear!

Stupid rock.

Koko!

My kraken finder's been stolen!

You search every inch of every shard

in the system until you find it.

If you come back empty-handed,

it's the mercury cooker for you!

Got it?

Koko should have taken modeling job.

What's that rattling?

Bananastar, run a diagnostic.

All systems normal.

Source of disruption located on deck.

- On deck? Where?

- Behind you.

Ah!

Yes. Yes!

- Whoo-hoo!

- Kraken, here I come!

Huh. Must be getting close.

In there?

Okay. Bananastar, take us in.

Taking us in.

Activate sonar.

Activating sonar.

Whatever that is...

it's big.

It's right on top of us.

Aah!

Phew!

Oh, boy.

For a minute I thought

we found the thing

and I was, like, maybe

this wasn't a great idea

after all!

Aah!

Aah! Reverse thrusters!

I'm sorry. I don't

understand "seapurse dusters."

Evasive maneuvers!

Searching data bank

for "abrasive manure."

Aah!

I think...

I think it likes you, Bananastar.

This is very awkward for me.

You're a lot bigger than I thought.

Tractor beams are not gonna work on you.

Bananastar, set course for home!

Setting course for garbage shard.

Slowly.

I can't believe it! I did it!

I did it!

You stay there, girl. I'm about to give

my friends the surprise of a lifetime.

What?

No.

Vix!

Chunk!

Bananny!

Spark.

They took Vix and Chunk.

Who?

How about one... last... glass...

of... warm...

milk...

No.

What?

No! No, no, no!

Boss going to be happy.

So, are you and Zimtron

still coming over for dinner?

- Her name's Gort.

- Right. Sorry.

She have any food allergies?

- Pineapple gives her gas.

- Ew.

Oh, what have I done?

You messed up big time, is what you did!

Vix! Chunk!

- How could you?

- I'm sorry.

Sorry? I don't think you

understand what you...

Your Kingpin Superintendent

High Priestess,

the mighty Zhong!

Oh, boy.

Phew!

Can you smell that?

That's the stench of garbage.

Koko found them on the garbage shard.

Imagine that.

They actually live on

that dung heap in our filth.

And yet somehow they manage to survive

and steal from me!

Thank you, uh...

Spark, is it?

For saving me the effort

of capturing the kraken

and delivering it to my doorstep

free of charge.

The last time I used the kraken,

and incidentally tore this planet apart,

I lost it soon after.

They're difficult to train.

So stubborn.

You can't be like, "Kraken, sit.

Sit, kraken! Stay!"

They don't listen.

So I just use a torturous

force field instead!

With the press of a button, voil!

Instant kraken slicks.

It's like having a world-destroying

weapon at your fingertips.

And three days from now,

I'll be using it

to destroy another planet.

Ah! Here comes

my first test subject now.

The garbage shard!

Indeed.

It's time to take out the trash.

- No!

- Oww!

We're...

We're alive!

The slick must have acted

like a wormhole.

So that means? Well, it means

we could be anywhere.

Aah!

Oh!

Happy now?

You got what you wanted, right?

Adventure.

You're a real hero.

- I'm sorry.

- Sorry?

Are you going to apologize to the planet

that's about to be

destroyed because of you?

Are you going to apologize to the entire

universe for handing it over to Zhong?

Are you? Go ahead.

I'm sure that'll help.

I'm sure that will make

everything just fine!

I was on your side.

Vix, wait up!

Vix!

We should have told him.

I wanted to tell him.

Every day for the past

13 years I've wanted to.

Me too.

This is my fault.

I failed.

We both did.

We weren't trained for this.

No, we certainly weren't.

Well, let's tell him.

Spark?

Spark?

Spark!

The garbage shard.

Floyd!

Floyd, you made it!

It's so good to see a friendly face.

What?

I-I come in peace?

- Spark!

- Spark!

Spark!

- What's that sound?

- What sound?

Well, I did sneak a couple

of candy bars after lunch.

Oh. That sound.

Ha-ha-ha!

What do we have here?

- Where'd you come from, boy?

- Through a kraken slick.

A kraken slick?

That's impossible!

Uh, sir? Uh, we came

through a kraken slick.

Huh? Oh, right.

You've got a point, Ted.

How'd you end up in the slick?

- I-I was thrown in.

- By who?

His name was... Zhong.

Zhong?

You know him?

He tore our planet apart.

- This used to be a part of Bana.

- Aye.

I can't believe it.

I'm from Bana!
