The Freedom Force Page #7

---

But like I always say, you

have to have an open mind.

As long as your brains

don't fall out.

Because that can get

very messy. Follow me!

[MANIACAL LAUGHING]

Ohh!

This isn't funny.

You crazy freak!

Enough is enough! Please, if you've got

any shred of humanity.

You just have to let us go!

Oh, okay.

No-o!

[TALKING THROUGH BUBBLES]

[SMOTHERING]

This is awesome!

I can't believe we're under water!

Whoa! It's the lost city

of Atlantis!

This must be how

Jules Verne imagined it.

And, guess what?

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

With the air pressure down here,

I don't feel the least bit gassy.

Hmm.Aah!

[WHIMPERING] Lucky for us these

suits turn invisible.

Hey! Do you know where

everyone else is?

Huh?

Aristotle! Nicole!

Yeah, that's right. That's exactly

who I'm talking about.

No! What I'm saying is,

they're right behind you!

I'm behind them too.

One hundred percent.

No matter what.

I've got their back!

Just like you're behind me.

And I'm behind you.

Sink or swim!

Take a look!

Aah!

[WHIMPERS]

Ya know, when I said

"sink or swim,"

I meant it metaphorically.

I'm "sharkophobic."

It runs in my... those are

my friends. We're going in.

[TRYING TO BREATHE]

[BUBBLING]

Mm. Mm.

Ahh...

Aristotle! Nicole!

Hang in there!

I hope we're not too late.

Activate their diver suits.

Okay, guys.

Now you can breathe!

Profiterole. You take Aristotle,

and I'll grab Nicole...

Wha'?

Peter! It's the shark!

Watch out!

I'll try to stop it.

Ohh... oh!

Profiterole! Help me!

I'm on my way!

Uh...

Get away from my friend!

[SCREAMS]

Why do I have

a bad feeling about this?

I need to borrow your brain.

It's the closest thing that I have to a

12-year-old child. No offense.

So tell me, which one of Jules Verne's

stories do you want to check first?

Je ne sais pas! How am I supposed to

know where those kids have gone?

I'm a man of science.

I need facts and figures.

So feed me some data.

When we last saw the kids.

There were at the temple

of Onoffon.

Okay, so let's start with

5 weeks in a balloon.

Now we're cookin'!

[GASPING, MOANING]

Is this going to hurt?

It shouldn't.

I'm at a pretty safe distance.

[SCREAMING]

Voila!

Oh, ho, ho, ho!

We're using Pascal's

cerebrum as our projector.

Fortunately, Pascal's brain

is relatively empty.

[PROFESSOR] Yes. There's almost zero

interference with the signal.

Hmm. Nothing!

Professor, are you sure this crazy thing

is working properly?

Sure? The only thing for

sure is, I'm 100% positive

you can never be

absolutely certain!

Just switch

to another story, okay?

Ahh...

Normalverbraucher?

A flying train?

Why would anyone

think of using that?

It's preposterous!

I agree, but since we are

able to see this story

on the projector, that means the

kids must be somewhere later inside.

Yeah, yeah.

Fast forward, Professor.

Voila! We have success.

There they all are!

I'll slow it down to real time.

Please, Nicole.

Nicole, please. Talk to me!

Wake up, talk to me!

Aristotle!

Come on, wake up!

I know you wouldn't want to miss

this amazing underwater city!

This is all my fault!

I should have swam faster.

Nicole! Nicole!!

Aristotle?

There's a million gadgets here

that you'd love. It's amazing!

Come on! Snap out of it!

[BARKING]

Where am I? Where's Nicole?

Nicole, Nicole!

Come on, you can't give up!

She tried to fight him.

To save me.

There are so many things

I have to tell you.

Like how you make me feel.

Well, you better start talking.

'Cause there's no time

like the present.

Nicole! I don't believe it!

[CHUCKLES]

[CHATEAU] Ah, yes. Young love.

Vive l'amour.

Chateau! We had an also

tiny minor technical glitch

that took us off-line for a while,

but we are once again able to see you.

We've got a problem. There's someone else

in these stories.

He's following us everywhere, and

he's trying to stop us.

I'm pretty sure our shark friend

took care of that situation.

Then I suggest you turn your attention

back to completing the mission!

But because we are not

fully functional.

You must somehow locate

the reset button on your own!

Okay. If we separate, we can search

that much faster.

Not a good idea.

I heard an alert earlier.

They're out there

patrolling for intruders.

So now what?

You guys should stay here

where it seems safe.

Nobody knows Jules Verne's

imagination as well as I do.

I'll find that reset button.

Bravest Bookworm I ever met.

And he's sweet, too.

[GRUNTING]

Now this looks promising.

There's a whole bunch of buttons.

One of 'em's gotta be it.

Those darn prunes.

I'm gonna have to go again.

You know you got no-one

to blame but yourself, right?

[YAWNS]

Since Jules Verne was a visionary,

maybe I should be thinking

outside the box. Hmm.

Control... alt...

Delete. That's it!

Those are the keys that

reboot every modern computer.

I just got to push

all three... aah!

Ughh.

Yi!

[SNORES]

[SCREAMS]

No!

[SNORES]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANING]

Oh, come on.

Get off of me!

Got a word of advice for you.

I'd recommend you avoid

going down to level 5

for a while,

if you know what I mean.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh! Mm.

It's an intruder!

Ah... huh...

Wh-what'd you say?

I was just resting my eyes.

Keep a watch on it. I'm calling security.

He's not goin' nowhere!

Yaah!

[SHOUTS]

Bye!

He did it!

He found the button!

[SCREAMING]

[CHILDREN YELL]

[STARTLED YELL]

Whoa!

Whoo-hoo!

I couldn't be more proud.

Hooray! You're home.

[GROWLING]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

All of the stories

have gone back to normal.

Operation freedom force worked

thanks to your bravery and ingenuity.

You are all heroes!

Real heroes!

Hold on. There is still the small

matter of the giant octopus

that is bearing down

on Paris even as we speak.

It should hit downtown

just as the curtain goes up

to celebrate Jules Verne day!

It's ironic that a monster

from Verne's own imagination

is now ruining his name!

It's not ironic, it's perfect!

Even better than me mixing up

that hack's miserable stories.

Why that... why, you...

so, you are the saboteur?

You are putting our

brotherhood at risk.

How could you expect me

to allow this abomination?

So, yeah, that's right.

It's me!

What kind of brotherhood, huh?

What's it about?

Nice try, but never in a million years

would I tell you our precious secrets.

Oh, no! Not even under

intense torture

would I reveal that the grand

leader of our brotherhood...

Is a famous rap artist

whose name sounds exactly

like a delicious.

Candy-coated chocolate treat.

Until the end of my days, I will

always protect the secret identity

of king Emm... phht!

Ha? Who's "king Emp"?

Hmm. So what you are saying is

you are following the commands

of a big rap star who does

not like science fiction?

No! You could never understand,

because you haven't been initiated.

This is a conspiracy!

They want to have us disappear.

Who do they want

to have disappear?

The leftys!

[ALL] The leftys?

Yes, yes, yes!
