The Freedom Force Page #4

---

We're actually going into the imagination

of Jules Verne!

It won't be dangerous, right?

[EXPLOSION]

Aah!

Aye!

[CLEARS THROAT] It's an extremely safe

machine that has passed almost all

of the most strictest

of security tests.

There's nothing

to worry about. Really.

It's a silly formality.

But I will need you to review

this accident release form

and then sign here.

As tall as you are torpedo.

Tell me one thing.

Why is everything

over your head?

Don't answer that.

It's rhetorical.

I'm putting a virus

into the Imaginasium

to try to shut it down.

But if that doesn't work.

Then you will go

into the stories

to stop those kids.

[GRUNTS] But boss.

How am I gonna be able to get

into Julie Verner's

imagination?

I'm pretty sure

that I don't represent

any part of his personality,

and I sure ain't 12 years old.

[SIGHS]

Your brain stopped working

when you were 12,

so that's why this will work.

Oh yeah! I knew you'd know.

You're a genius!

Well, some would say genius.

I prefer mastermind.

[EVIL LAUGH]

[CHOKING]

[SIZZLES]

Oh, nothing to worry about.

Just a simple controlled test

of our system of fuses.

Testing the extinguisher now.

Testing, testing... good!

[SIGHS] Ha! So, everything

seems to be in order.

Which story is gonna be first?

You won't believe it.

You're going into

"from the earth to the moon."

Oh yeah! I've always wanted

to fly in a rocket.

I read this book.

They build a giant Cannon

to launch the spaceship.

Like a cannonball? Wow!

And as I recall.

You don't know what happens

because it ends

in a cliffhanger.

I know what happens.

You kids will push

the restart button

to reboot the story.

And then you will be teleported

into the next adventure.

How will we find

the restart buttons?

Ah, yes.

That is Avery good question,

Nicole, but a small detail.

We are hoping that once

you are inside the story.

Our guidance system

will get you very close.

Doesn't sound like much

of a plan, does it Houston?

[LAUGHS]

No need to worry at all.

We will be watching

your every move on our screens.

And you will be able to hear us

in your ears the entire time.

Okay, so launch us already.

Wow.

Get set to go!

[COMPUTER ALERT]

Launch sequence initiated.

Porting power to zypher drives.

Accessing Jules Verne database.

Figment algorithms calculated.

Mapping transport coordinates.

Hey! What's going on?

Relax, everything is proceeding

just as planned!

[COMPUTER ALERT] Warning.

Are you sure?

System anomaly virus detected.

Abort override initiated.

Access violation.

I really don't like

the looks of this.

Whoa. This is weird.

Aah!

Control procedures compromised.

And I definitely

don't like this!

Stay calm everybody.

I think this is something

that is supposed to happen.

Don't worry about a thing.

We're right on schedule.

I'm not worried about a thing

so you shouldn't worry either.

Just relax, and breathe,

breathe, breathe, br...

alert failure in secondary

teleport protocol.

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

Pascal, the kids are in danger!

We need to shut this down

right now!

Warning.

Excess energy buildup.

System overload imminent.

Power capacity reached.

Help, get me out of here!

It's gone out of control!

System failure in 20 seconds.

Whoa!

System failure in 15 seconds.

System failure...

I'm going to override

the software.

It's your only hope!

Nine, eight, seven,

six, five...

[ALL SCREAMING]

[GROANING]

Hey! Watch where

you're touching!

Get your hands off me!

Sorry about that, Nicole.

It was an accident.

My eyes are still adjusting

to the dark.

This looks like

it's some sort of spaceship.

It actually worked.

We're really inside the story!

So what happens now?

According to the book.

The Cannon blasts the ship off

using gunpowder.

[GASPS]

[MAN] There's someone

in the projectile.

Those guys are all

from different stories!

Hurry! Let's close the porthole

so they can't get in!

Who are these intruders?

They look like

they're from another planet.

[PETER] Better getaway.

It's about to take off!

[ENGINES STARTING] Run!

[SCREAMING]

I hope the restart button

is somewhere in here.

[PASCAL OVER INTERCOM]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Is this thing on?

Can you hear me?

Welcome aboard

to the on-time departure

of our inaugural flight

of Pascal airlines

with non-stop service

to the moon!

Stop joking around, Pascal,

we have a mission to complete!

Yes, about that

I have some good news

and bad news.

You see, the restart button

is very close by.

That's the good news...

And, its also the bad news,

I'm afraid.

What do you mean?

What I'm saying

is that the restart button

is on the rocket

the outside of the rocket

huh? Ha! Ah.

Why didn't you tell us that

when we were

back on earth, Pascal?

Ah, excuse moi,

but I was a little busy myself

getting rid

of the software virus

that overloaded the system and

almost destroyed everything.

I thought the Imaginasium

was a safe

and completely tested machine.

We said it was safe.

We never said

it was completely tested.

Temperature outside

is negative 292!

Whoever can stand

the cold best should go.

That'd probably be the person

who's very athletic.

Someone not very chubby-

profiterole, you're carrying

more layers than the rest of us.

You're the best candidate.

Houston, we have a problem.

[GASPS]

[ARISTOTLE OVER WALKIE]

Profiterole, hang on.

It looks like we're entering

an asteroid field.

[SHOUTING]

Think I'm ready

to go home now, please! Aah!

It's too dangerous.

I'm going out to help him.

I'll go with you!

[SHOUTS]

[GRUNTS] The hatch is broken.

[GASPS]

Profiterole has fallen off!

Help! Oh no, don't leave me!

Wait! Oh, please, help!

We have to save profiterole!

We're comin' back for you!

Please don't go!

More power!

Here!

Hang in there, profiterole!

Closer!

[PASCAL] You are losing power!

We're completely out of gas.

[PROFITEROLE] What do you mean.

You're out of gas?

No!

[GASPS]

No!

I don't believe this.

You can do it.

Come on profiterole.

Keep going!

Stay strong.

[BARKS]

I'm never out of gas!

[FARTS]

[GASPS]

Ugh.

[FARTS]

[CHEERS]

Hey you guys.

I don't see the button anywhere.

It must be there!

Don't you see anything out there

that reads "reset?"

No, but there's something here

that reads

"adventure star tours."

Yeah, "adventure star tours!"

Hm.

Ah... Aah!

We're being pulled

into a giant asteroid.

We're going to crash!

[SCREAMS]

Listen up, everyone.

I figured it out.

Profiterole, find the letter "r"

in "adventure."

It's the beginning

of the word "restart!"

And, then along with "star"

and the "t" in "tours,"

it spells out "restart!"

I see it!

Now push the button!

Hurry!

Get ready!

I pushed the button,

but nothing happened!

[GASPS]

This is getting too close!

Whoa! Now we're in the story

"five weeks in a balloon!"

Now how did they get here?

Where is the doctor?

We'll explain if you keep us

from crashing into that rock.

[SCREAMING]
