A CREEP IN THE DEEP (Ruslan, SVZ) http://www.cdrr.ru
What the heck? Hey, its gonna hit!
The monster came right at me!
I tried to swerve but I think it was out to get me!
Next thing I knew, wham!
Then nothing but frozen mackerel all over the highway.
There you have it.
Another in the series of bizarre seafood attacks.
This is Stan Blather, reporting.
Holy Mackerel!
There's a case for the Rescue Rangers!
Gosh, Chip. Do you really think
frozen fillets count as animals in trouble?
Ahh, the whole thing sounds fishy to me.
C'mon, mates. I'm with Chip.
We ain't had an adventure since yesterday.
I'm startin' to get stale.
But this time, pally, let's go easy on yer clues and detection stuff.
Scientific detection is how you solve mysteries!
It's booring! Ya solve things by jumping in,
grabbing the bad guy, and tying him into knots.
Jumping in without a plan
is just going to get your tail in trouble, Monterey!
Don't worry about me, mate.
Yeouch!
Those sure are crazy tire tracks!
Look, Gadget. They go right into the water!
Or maybe they came out of the water!
So much for your clues, Chip.
You don't know if they're coming or going.
Let me know when there's something worth getting up about.
Chuh-huh-heeze-uh!
Oh no! Monty's having another cheese attack!
He must have smelled the cheese pizza.
Oh no!
Ya-a-ha-ha!!!
O-ho-ho-o-o...
Well, Monterey Jack.
Is that what you meant by, "jumping into things"?
Are you OK, Monty?
Well, I burnt me tail a bit...
but at least the pizza's good enough.
Boy, nothing like a pineapple-anchovy pizza
to put me in a mood for romance.
Oh, please!
Reminds me of the time I visited the Leaning Tower in Italy.
Had the best piece of pizza in Pisa.
Aiee! It's the monster! A-a-a-a!
Blimey! It's a sea monster!
No, it's a submarine!
It's a submarine full of sea monsters!
Destroy the kitchen of the Land Walkers!
All-Hands on deck!
Aye aye, Cap'n Finn, Sir!
All-Hands, get all the canned anchovies from the kitchen.
Our brothers deserve a decent burial at sea.
Aye aye, Cap'n Finn.
Hmm, hasn't got his land legs yet.
Captain Finn must be the one who attacked the truck-load of fish.
Right, so much for detection, now let's get'em!
Oh no! Monty, come back!
I knew when I found this abandoned submarine
that I'd have my revenge,
but I didn't know it would be so much fun!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
This whole ship's full of water!
Yeah-hah-hah-hah!
He's gonna drown!
Cooking oil? Great idea, Zip.
Are you allright, Monterey?
Still in one piece. Kind of an odd-shaped piece, though.
How can we find Captain Fin,
when he could be anywhere under the sea?
By calming down and fishing for some clues
at the Sea Food bar.
Here, you better let me do the talking, mates.
I knew a lobster that shot off his mouth here,
and found himself in real hot water.
We're in luck, mates.
There's Barnacle Bill, the barnacle.
He's always hanging around the docks.
Ought to know something.
Owes me a favour, too. Helped him out of a scrape once.
Ahoy, Barnacle!
How are things below the waterline?
Look what the tide washed in boys! It's Monterey Jack!
Ha ha ha ha! Let me buy you and your mates something to drink.
Here, how about a Shrimp Cocktail?
Who're you calling a shrimp?
I'm a prawn, buddy, and I'm proud of it!
Calm down, mate. No offence.
Yeeoo-wahahou!
Shelly was never one for conversations.
He always clams up.
You should think before you say anything.
You're right, Gadget.
Looks like I took another wrong turn.
And we still haven't found out anything about Captain Finn.
Finn?
Seems like those pod-swabs over there were flapping their fins about him.
You mean he crashed the submarine right into the pet store?
Uh-huh. Said he was liberating us from the slavery of the Land-Walkers.
And we swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker.
Yeah, we gave up everything.
A tank with a view, and all the fish flakes we could eat.
Do you know where Captain Finn is now?
No, but we heard him planning his first daylight raid, on SeaLand.
SeaLand, thanks! That's just what we need!
Remember that little treasure chest with the bubbles?
I could watch that thing all day.
Everybody's heard of Nemo. He's SeaLand's biggest star!
That's why Nemo is the most likely target of Captain Finn.
That's deduction.
Right. Captain Finn is real interested in someone
who spends his days jumping through hoops.
I'm sure that makes him a really big star!
Sorry about that. Didn't see you little guys.
Just warmin' up for my act, ya know?
We here to warn you!
A submarine's going to attack SeaLand!
A submarine? Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Why don't you take a look over that wall.
Golly! It must be a hundred feet down!
There's no way Captain Finn can get up here.
That's deduction!
How come I have to do the hard work?
Do you hear something?
Not a whisper, mate.
Sound carries better underwater.
It sounds like somebody is trying to get a drain unstuck.
The Captain never asks those squids to do anything like this!
No, it's always All-Hands' job!
Golly, you're right, Chipper. It's that octopus of Captain Finn.
Just give me a second and we'll take care of him.
Might as well take the quick way down.
This is 93 times faster than an ordinary fishing reel.
Oops. Maybe I should try a smaller rocket.
Hey, Zipper! Is that you?
We're inside! Everybody is OK!
Speak for yourself, pally.
Oh, Monty! Not your tail again!
Golly, Nemo should floss more often!
If we don't finish this case soon, I'm gonna need a tail transplant!
Greetings, my brother. I, Captain Finn, have set you free.
Now, I ask you to join me in my fight against the Land-Walkers!
You must be crazy!
Yeah. Go soak your head.
Fascinating. A whale ventriloquist.
Let's ram that sub!
Right. Full speed ahead, Nemo!
Reel me in, you fools!
He's gonna ram us, Captain Finn.
That traitor! Let that be a lesson to you.
Never trust anybody who breathes air!
What are you waiting for?! Get us away from that maniac!
Well, I better get over to the SeaLand Docks
so they can find me.
What?! You'll be back jumping through hoops all day!
Don't you wanna be free?
What?! And give up showbiz?
What now, Chip?
I hate to say it,
but we could sure use
some of your deductive type planning.
Why don't you use your head for a change!
Well, at least he used his head.
Are you all right, Monty?
Could have been better, Gadget-luv.
But at least it didn't land on me tail.
Water?
It's a note, asking for help.
And it looks like it was written by an octopus.
Hey, we haven't seen All-Hands the octopus
since the explosion up at the tank.
But it's our only lead.
We have to get up there and check it out.
Climb back up the cliff?!
Couldn't we just look for clues down here,
where we don't have to do any climbing?
Say, I could help you out. Step right in.
Gee, I can't believe I'm doing this willingly.
Rescue Rangers, away!
Nothing like taking the express route!
Look! He broke his diving helmet.
I mean, walking helmet. Or... whatever.
Captain Finn will save me, he will!
I'm his strong right arms!
If we toss these notes into the ocean,
Finn is sure to come back to rescue Legs there.
Boy, Monty, that almost sounds like a plan.
Some plan. What'll we do when he gets here?
Fire when you have the range, Mr. Starfish.
Aye, Captain.
Well done. Now send up the life bucket.
Thank you, Cap'n!
I knew you wouldn't leave me high and dry!
Full speed ahead, Zipper!
Hang on, guys!
Come, gentlemen.
I need music to plot the destruction of the Land-Walkers.
Me mom always said I was a bit of a bubble head.
If we can break these controls, Captain Finn will be out of business.
But how do we do that?
If we try everything at once, it should overload the system.
Right. Random destruction! That's my kind of plan.
Do you think they heard that?
Ulp. Guess maybe they did.
Can't you get the fingering right?
But... But Cap'n Finn, I don't have fingers!
You air breathers will pay for what you've done to me.
I was picked to be the Anchovy Valedictorian of my school of fish.
But you Land Walkers netted my entire graduating class,
and turned them into pizza topping, and salad garnish!
I wandered the seas, not knowing what to do next.
But then, I found this submarine, the tool of my revenge!
It was practically new, it only had 20000 leagues on it.
Now, I strike for all fishdom!
No fish will ever get hooked again!
The oceans are too big.
You can't stop the world from fishing!
Ahh, but I can make an example of your city!
The humans have trouble seeing things my way,
so I'm going to give them a real fish eye view!
This submarine is going to punch a hole in the county dam,
and put the entire city underwater! A-hah-ah!
This is pitiful.
There's nothing big enough to save in the whole river.
Drive! Drive!
We gotta stop them before they flood the city!
First, we gotta get outta this blinkin' aquarium.
I don't supposed you have a plan?
No problem.
Do you always carry a glass cutter around with ya?
No, just when I want to cut glass.
There.
This water's making my tail go all wrinkled and pruny.
Forget that, we're almost to the dam!
If we had a bulge pump,
we can hang my tail and Captain Finn out to dry.
Say, we do have a pump, courtesy of Captain Finn!
Let the engines build up steam, Mr. Starfish.
We'll either punch a hole in that dam or smash ourselves to smithereens!
Either way, we go in the name of all fish everywhere!
There, that should do it!
I hope Monterey's plan works.
All right, Mr. Starfish. Give me Ramming Speed!
It must be the air breathers. Get them!
Aye, Captain!
I said Ramming Speed, I won't be stopped now!
I won't let you spoil the Captain's plans!
My tail! Put me down!
Careful, Monty! Don't do anything rash!
My tail's been slammed,
singed, kinked, and cropped!
Now it's payback time!!!
Monty!
They may be better armed, but I'm the one who's handy.
I can't control it, Captain.
It's too late! Nothing can stop us now!
What?! We should be going down!
Looks like the winds are blowing him out towards the desert.
Then he'll really be a fish out of water!
Oh dear! Oh dear!
The Captain's not going to like that all, not at all!
Never did get his land legs.
Well, Monty. You wanted an adventure.
Yes, and this will make a real whale of a tale to tell.
Please, Gadget-luv. Watch your language.
Don't mention tail!
