The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure Page #6

And we're willing to trade them

for him.

Mickey, don't do it.

Get out of here.

Stumpwater, shut up.

Well, come on up here, boy.

Let's see if we can

make ourselves a deal.

Let's go.

I see you have acquired

a new recruit.

You're wrong, priggish.

Buckshot has been a member of

the order for a long time now.

Ooh, dear,

Then I'm afraid

this is gonna be quite...

Quite painful for you.

Sorry, kid.

Buckshot,

what are you doing?

Traitor.

Don't you test me,

little girl.

For many years

I've read the tales

Of my great, great granddaddy's

travels to the Sudan

To retrieve the sapphire.

At long last,

It rests again

in the proper family hands.

Billy, place this

in the wheel's first position.

So...

I'll be having that moment

you promised me with stumpwater.

Be my guest.

HaHa.

I've been waiting for this day

for a long time.

Oh!

Secure this

in the wheel's second position.

Sit tight.

It's never gonna work without

the final element, priggish.

Oh, we have the third element,

Mr. Matson.

Oh, pardon me.

I should say, you.

You have the third element.

See, the sapphire is exquisite

and mysterious,

And its mystical properties,

They work like a power source.

The heart of the machine

And the Petoskey stone,

Well, that's merely petrified

coral from the great lakes

With the proper

density and weight

To balance the reaction.

But the third element...

The third element

is a conundrum.

The antikythera device,

It is, what we would call,

The brains of the operation...

Keeping time

So that the elements move

In perfect harmony.

Our finest

confederate craftsmen

Were called in to create

an exact replica to scale

From the ancient blueprints

we recovered.

And would you believe

That it fits perfectly

in your...

Pocket?

Stupid yank child.

That's it...

Oh.

Not very becoming of a lady,

now, is it,

Mrs. Fowler?

Billy.

Hello, boy.

Ooh, I reckon I'm gonna enjoy

watching you become silverfied.

Your grammar's terrible.

Back up.

You didn't see the symbol,

boy?

Right there under your nose

the whole time.

Now, I couldn't just

run y'all through the portal

Without at least showing you

the fate that awaits you.

That'd be unfair.

It's gonna be good.

Billy,

your Arkansas toothpick.

It works.

This machine

will be the source of the wealth

For the copperheads

That will soon take over

this country.

I'm sorry, Ivan.

Yeah,

we just wanted to save you.

We're not sunk yet, kids.

Oh, yes, you are.

You sunk, all right.

Grams?

Hold on, kids.

What's the plan here?

Y'all sit nice and still now.

Just be patient.

Your folks

are gonna be so mad at me.

Guys, seriously?

You make sure to strike

an interesting pose

For my sculpture garden.

Now!

Thought it could use a shovel.

Ah!

Ah!

What do we do, grams?

Get the elements.

You get the sapphire.

I'll get the stone

and the watch.

You'll find I'm a lot more fun

When my hands aren't tied,

priggish.

Bring it, old man.

I've been waiting

for a good tussle.

Me too!

Ding!

The next time you pull

a little razzle-Dazzle,

You better tell me.

Oh, what a nice kitty.

Well, you had to believe

I was a traitor.

Well, I'll tell you this:

You do it again,

And you're gonna be looking

for your dentures

In the next county.

Ooh.

It's time for plan "b."

Oh!

That hurt. That hurt.

Stumpwater,

the old lady's bailing.

I doubt it.

Yeah.

Breaker one-Nine.

Breaker one-Nine.

This is grams.

It's been fun,

but it's time for me to go.

I'm just gonna leave you

with a little something special.

There you go.

Got to go.

Now you got troubles.

Mama.

Sully, behind you!

I got you now.

Okay, wait.

Oh.

What's with this girl

and the shins?

Grams, wait for me!

Stupid little girl.

Let's go, patriot!

Bring it on, baldy.

Take your best shot.

My pleasure.

Nice punch, Franken-Brain.

Mickey, need a hand here!

Sully, duck!

No!

Really?

Oh!

What in Dixie?

Nice work, Mickey Matson!

Hit it, grams!

Oh, way to go, patriots!

HaHa!

Way to go, patriots.

Way to go, buckshot!

Stop, stop.

What is it?

We need to destroy

the elements.

Uh, what?

If we don't,

They'll just keep sending

more copperheads.

I know you guys have been

protecting these things forever.

That's what's gonna make this

hard.

But doing the right thing

Usually isn't easy.

So what's your plan?

Buckshot, got any powder left

for the lyle gun?

Like this.

A double charge

ought to do it.

ByeBye, beautiful.

Love you, gramps.

It's over, priggish.

You lost.

You're no southern gentleman.

The south is filled with people

who love this country

And want it to grow

stronger together.

Now, what do you think

you're doing?

Love will always win

over selfishness and greed.

Oh, and, uh, one more thing.

You stupid...

You should duck.

Yank child. No!

No!

You stupid,

blue-Bellied boy.

You have no idea

what you've just done.

A second explosion

in town today?

I think I just called

for backup.

And just in case those

city cops are your friends,

I called in the coast guard

on my truck radio.

A few of my grandpa jack's

old friends.

Yeah, and you ain't

crowned upon kidnapping

In these parts, priggish.

And they gonna love to hear

How you had me tied up

in your basement.

Go get him, boys!

Commander Webster.

Mickey!

I think you've been looking

for these two.

Outstanding.

I would expect nothing less

from jack's grandson.

Thanks.

In your face, copperheads.

Well, that'll teach you

To mess with a seventh grader,

huh?

Come on.

That'll harm ya!

Come on.

Get 'em out of here, boys.

Way to go, Mickey.

Bring it in, fur face.

Not bad for a country boy.

Hey, Mickey.

Your grandpa left you

one more thing.

Aren't you guys coming?

Nope.

This one's all you, pal.

Go down those stairs

and take a right.

"Dearest Mickey,

"There are many forces out

to destroy our great country.

"I urge you to train yourself

in every way possible

"So you're ready

at a moment's notice

"When the secret order

of the patriot is called upon.

"I'm proud of the young man

you have become,

"And I love you

with all my heart.

"God bless.

Grandpa jack."

Shh.

Hey, dad.

Hey, Mickey.

I didn't see you there.

So how about we go to the

tigers baseball game tomorrow?

That would be fun, son,

But I'm afraid

we don't have the money.

I'll buy the hotdogs.

Ha!

This is...

This is a Morgan.

Pretty cool, huh?

Where did you get this?

Grandpa jack left it for me.

This is one of the rarest

coins in U.S. History,

One of the rarest

silver dollars.

Only 80 of them

were ever discovered.

This is worth over $100,000,

Mickey.

So it should help us

keep the house.

No.

No, no.

This is yours.

- You should keep it.

- Dad.

It's okay.

I want you to have it.

Having parents that love me,

That's the real treasure.

Mickey...

Mickey, you...

You are the real treasure.

Besides,

Grandpa jack left me

a whole box full of them.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my... Ha!

I don't believe it!

Well done, Mickey.
