I don't care if it's their job.

They tell us to be honest,

but they weren't with us.

It proves that telling the truth

only gets you in trouble.

That's crazy. Telling the truth

should never be a bthing.

Oh yeah? Look here.

"A good spy never tells the truth."

I'll never be a spy then.

Have fun with that.

I wish Mom and Dwere here now.

Well, they're not.

They're out spying.

Tony, what if this was all our fault?

How?

You downloaded Hyskor last night,

and then it was all over the news,

taking over the world.

I guess that makes sense.

Since we caused this game apocalypse,

then we should fix it.

You mean take down the final boss?

Like Rat Thickskull?

No, I'm saying that we save Mom and D

so that they can stop the bguys

Spy training.

Terrence Stand here.

Ah!

Trap door! Failure.

Avoid the lasers or you'll trip the alarm.

Failure.

Sorry. Try again.

Now find us another exit.

Tony Watch your step.

Try harder.

Patty You two look... hungry.

Patty Thanks, Bronson.

Now let's get out of here

before they eat the whole safe house.

Patty Mine.

Tony Boop.

Patty Come on, Bronson!

You're part of the team.

Patty Too easy.

Yes!

man Nice try, kids.

I'm Devlin, OSS division.

Your parents work for me.

We don't believe you.

Trust me.

Oops.

You're coming with us.

Tony Huh? Oh.

We didn't know.

Tony He has two pairs of sunglasses.

He's definitely a spy.

Hey! Watch the gadgets.

Tony There are no video games

in this truck.

Patty Oh, look, in case anyone

ever wonders where all the spies are.

Devlin Everything is a mess.

Half the world got hit by a game virus.

Some things are working. Some aren't.

Yeah, we noticed.

Cool spy boat.

That's actually a plane

that's also a boat.

It's complicated, kid.

It's one of our only vehicles

that hasn't been locked down.

An OSS Super Ducky.

Why is it so small?

Fits one adult. It's called secrecy.

And secrecy is how we protect the world

from our enemies.

Now, come on. We're in a hurry.

Patty Well, maybe we wouldn't have

so many enemies

if we weren't spying all the time.

Devlin Nice dream, kid.

Our entire system's been locked up

We can't access anything at all.

How do we find our parents?

You got your vehicle working

and escaped your house,

so we think

you two have what it takes to help.

You want us to be real spies?

Don't get carried away.

I just want you to beat this video game

so we can access our systems.

Take off the kids' cuffs so they can do

what they do best. Play games.

But they're dangerous, sir.

Just... Off, please.

I told you games would come in handy.

Okay. Get in there, kid.

Devlin Oh, wow.

We could never get past that part.

Wow. That is great, kid.

That is... That's great.

I'll take over from here.

Um...

I wouldn't do that.

Me neither.

I've played a few video games in my day.

You ever heard of GoldenEye? Watch this.

Devlin Hmm.

kids Mmhmm.

All right, just, uh...

get it done.

The system's back online.

Yeah, that's good work, kid.

All right. Now we can

start searching for leads.

Let's go, people. I wanna see some names.

Mom told me there was

something hidden at the safe house.

Do you have something important, Bronson?

Bronson chitters

Devlin The Armageddon Code.

But only a piece of it?

Oh. Your parents were smart

to split the code.

This gives us a fighting chance.

What happens

if the bguy gets both pieces?

Your parents are

only authorized to use that piece.

If the enemy combines them,

he'd infect every device in the world

with his game virus.

He'd be king of the planet.

The King.

Devlin, we might know who your bguy is.

Who?

menacing music playing

agent Unauthorized access. Oh!

groans

computer beeping

Here it is.

Tony Rey Kingston.

But everyone knows him as the King.

Someone broke into our parents' system

and stole Armageddon.

It could only have been the King.

His new game, Hyskor,

is what you're seeing

on every device across the world.

The FBI already raided

his game studio this morning,

but it was empty,

and this King was nowhere to be found.

Well, in his games, he always hides

the bguy in a cool, secret lair.

People, how do we find him?

I want suggestions.

Well, my mom gave me this to track us.

So maybe we reversetrack her tracker?

beeping

That must be

where your parents are located.

And quite possibly

the King.

power thunks

Somebody else is in control.

It means the bguys are gonna break in.

From there, there, and there.

What?

Trust me.

We've learned from experience.

Know how much money I pay for security?

There's one!

Devlin Get Armageddon out of here!

Protect the code!

It did it again.

Devlin Give me that!

Let the grownups handle this.

Heck Knight Give me the code.

Devlin Whoa!

Patty They're getting away!

We need to find out where they're going.

Bronson, we need eyes on the Heck Knight.

Devlin! Get up and go chase them!

You...

The bguys are escaping on the lake.

We'll never catch them.

how to drive this.

Yeah, well, their boats can't fly.

Bronson, airborne mode.

Patty Bronson, here's the location

we got from the necklace.

Fly us there.

Tony Then we can get the code

and save Mom and D

Why are you still reading that book?

These are the cheat codes to life.

You shouldn't cheat the King.

It'll backfire on you.

Be smart and play fair.

Doesn't work.

How can you say that?

Remember when we snuck into Ds office

and found that puzzle he was working on?

Uhhuh. The one

that was really tricky to finish.

When I solved it for him,

I thought he'd be happy,

but he got mat me for sneaking

into his work, saying I was dishonest.

Yeah. Then he put up

the tech restrictions on all our stuff.

See? Telling the truth

only got me in trouble.

Maybe at first.

But in the end, honesty always wins.

King's lair up ahe

We're not slowing down.

Bronson, what's wrong?

We're gonna crash into that wall!

This guy is living the dream.

Tony No way.

This whole place is

AR? That hologram stuff

that makes things look different

than they are?

Yeah, that stuff.

Maybe these glasses

can help us find Mom and D

breathes heavily, grunts

Don't take a nap.

We have to keep trying or stop the code

so we can get back to the kids.

Even if we can escape,

I don't think I can stop this.

But you made the code.

Can't you unmake it?

Yes and no.

Operation Fireball?

Of course.

We hto take down that villain Vargos.

We were supposed to destroy his lair

and everything in it,

but I found plans for this weapon.

Plans for the Armageddon Code?

I... I brought the plans back home

so I could finish

building the code, but I...

I couldn't figure it out. I failed.

Torrez How did you finish it?

Terrence I didn't.

Tony did.

He doesn't even really know it,

but he did.

How is that possible?

He got into my work somehow.

He knew the plans better than I did.

He finished what I started,

and I built Armageddon

on top of what he gave me.

I could've told him everything,

but I scolded him

and put tech restrictions up

to protect the code.

The kids don't even know that's why

everything they love

is being kept from them.

And this is all my fault.

That is quite a story.

I knew you were hiding something from me.

But it doesn't matter who made what.

I've taken the missing piece

from your children,

and within minutes,

the code will be ready to fire. laughs

Your kids failed you.

Or maybe you failed them.

The King chuckles

So Tony made the code.

Now no one in the world can stop me.

Tony! Tony made it!

Now we can downloa map of this place.

Look. The prison cells

are right by the King's VR pods

I hear footsteps.

Tony Just don't look down.

Patty I might've already looked down.

The King Armageddon is close

to being combined.

Then it will be unstoppable.

The King is already combining the code.

We have to find Mom and Dnow.

Oh.

Those Hyskor characters

are just AR overlays too.

They're actually robots.

Aw.

Those robots aren't so scary.

Terrence Well done!

Terrence Well done!

Torrez That's my girl. Oh!

Wow.

I can't believe you found us.

How... How did you even get here?

Aw. Bronson flew us in the Super Ducky

that we jacked from the OSS.

I am so proud...

That is...

...in this moment

...just beyond, my sweets.

Heck Knight Armageddon is combined.

Launching in six minutes.

What now, master spies?

The clock's ticking.

Actually, I have a really solid plan

inspired by our greatest mission.

Operation Fireball.

You got it.

What was this Operation Fireball exactly?

Our mission was to infiltrate

the operation of an evil man named Vargos.

Terrence And we were able

to infiltrate his lair by

knocking on the door.

You just knocked on his door?

With a truck.

Big truck.

Torrez Mmhmm.

We used our gadgets

to get past the guards.

lively spy music playing

Friendly gadgets?

Uh...

Well... mumbles

I went to stop the superweapon

Mmhmm.

"Negotiate"?

You mean "beat up," don't you?

That sums it up.

I couldn't stop the bomb in time.

I hto stall just long enough...

So that we can

Pew!

Pff!

I love you.

I love you more.

Awesome.

Not awesome!

You could've found a better way.

I'd... Hmm? How?

You could've asked nicely

to see Mr. Vargos.

You could've used a thought bubble

to keep the guards entertained.

fun jingle playing

You could've gotten an understanding

of his interiordesign sense.

You could've intervened in his plan

with a softer touch.

I guess we... could've considered that.

So that maybe

insteof Operation Fireball,

it could be Operation Peace and Harmony.

That's my child.

Yeah. Yeah. Certainly not mine.

We have four minutes left.

I could come up with a fantastic plan

if I ha map of this place.

Boop.

gasps Yes! Well done.

We have to get to these computer terminals

to stall for time.

Let's go.

Tony That's the whole plan?

Yup.

We're gonna buy some time

to send a signal to OSS for help.

We stall when we can beat the King?

Armageddon is being armed.

Nothing we can do now except slow down

its final process. Let's split up.

I'll take Tony. You take Patty.

They have Magna Boots.

They can access the branching path.

No, no, no, no.

It's too dangerous for them.

You're right.

Come here a second.

We can do this.

Patty Yeah.

Okay. Hey, you two stick together, okay?

Okay.

And stick to the plan.

Patty Got it.

We love you too!

I immediately regret this.

So much.

Yeah. We should go.

Yep.

You lost.

I've got a new plan.

What new plan?

If we get to this elevator,

we can stop the countdown.

That's not what they told us to do.

We have to stick to the plan.

We have to do whatever it takes to win.

Tony Whoa.

Wait a minute.

I know this.

I made this.

You made the Armageddon Code?

Sort of. It was that weird puzzle

from Ds work, but it wasn't a puzzle.

It was the plans for Armageddon Code.

How are you gonna stop it though?

The same way I solved it.

The last part of the plan

ha trick to it,

where you couldn't tell

if it was completed

because you hto do

the same steps backwards.

That's how I'm going to break it.

whirring, beeping

Okay. What do I do?

Press that button.

Which one?

We're out of time!

Almost there.

You couldn't tell

if the code was completed or not.

Tony, wait! Stop! It's a trick!

Heck Knight You have armed Armageddon.

Tony What?

I just stopped it.

Wrong, Tony.

You've put it together for me.

Mom! D

Oh, the whole family!

You weren't able

to complete the code yourself, were you?

Even after you got the missing piece.

Only the true code creator can activate

the worldconquering potential.

I made this fake countdown

so you, Tony, could combine it for me.

Thank you.

We downloaded Hyskor last night

and caused all of this.

No, no, no.

You just wanted to play a game.

You didn't cause this.

They did.

And so did the rest of the world.

Vargos was my father.

From Operation Fireball?

He was a genius that used his technology

to make our home country a better place.

Sure, his hewasn't always

in the right spot,

but someone could have helped guide him.

But you OSS agents

laid waste to everything,

stole Armageddon

as a weapon for yourselves.

He would've improved the world

with his creation.

But inste my father spent

the last days of his life

in some top secret prison.

I never saw him again.

I'm so sorry,

but we can't let you do this.

The only way

to make this world better is by force,

and my father's creation

will do just that.

Armageddon Code, select target.

No. No, you didn't, pal.

You didn't. I did.

When you brought me the code,

I'm so, so, so, so sorry.

Hey. How about you two show us

how to play this Hyskor game, huh?

We got nothing else to do

now that the world as we know it is over.

Wait. There might still be

a way we can win this.

Oh...

But we can't stop the King anymore.

Well, not physically, obviously,

but we can stop him virtually, can't we?

Look. The King is using this VR pod

to control Armageddon.

He is inside the game.

But if we use these VR pods,

defeat the last player standing,

win the crown.

You're right, Patty. He's controlling

Armageddon from inside the game.

But if we beat him before he locks us out,

we can save the world.

Here's my plan.

We go in, but no cheats, no tricks,

no rat skills.

We play fair together.

Wait, we go into the video game?

Yeah.

I think we need to regroup.

There's no time.

We should call the OSS agents.

Figure this out the spy way.

I'm not following

the spy playbook anymore.

Patty's been right all this time.

I trust her.

Then let's play.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Your games never forced me to play fair.

My sister inspired me to.

So now we just have to inspire the world

to be better.

You've raised some wonderful children.

We did.

Congratulations, agents.

You have defeated your enemy.

What?

Now the King must face his sentence.

There's a better way.

What?

Throwing him in prison

won't make him a good person.

Then where do we send him?

This is why we need to make a change.

Inside his own game.

The only reason we won

is because his game

makes you better as you play.

Hyskor has all the guidance he needs.

That's not how we work in the OSS.

Actually, it is.

Excuse me?

On page two of How To Be a Spy,

it states that the highlevel OSS agent

that catches the enemy

is best suited to decide their judgment.

And because we caught the enemy

and you didn't,

that makes us the highlevel agents.

character Ooh!

Heck Knight Radical!

Wow.

Smart kid.

Yeah.

Therefore, the King will be locked

inside his lair under OSS surveillance

until he beats Hyskor.

Heck Knight Yes! laughs

What should have been done for your father

we're going to do for you.
