Scene: Dr. Nautilus's lair at the sewers. Madcap arrives at the lair by levitating above the sewage water with his tentacles.
Madcap: Ahem!
(Dr. Nautilus, who's working on an experiment, has his eye appears on the palm of his left hand when he has his arm behind his back)
Dr. Nautilus: Madcap? Oh, if I'd known you were coming to visit, I'd have tidied up.
Madcap: Nautilus.
(Dr. Nautilus, whose eye is back on his original eye socket, turns around and gets down to get closer to Madcap)
Dr. Nautilus: Dr. Nautilus, if you please!
Madcap: I don't. I give you everything! A lovely home...
Dr. Nautilus: It's a sewer!
Madcap: Even my precious Minergy for your experiments!
Dr. Nautilus: And your faith has paid off! Allow me to introduce--
(Two tentacles appear out of the sewage water)
Madcap: I don't want introductions. I want plain ol' destruction! As in, destroy those obnoxious goody toys! Step up your game or stay down here forever! (Dr. Nautilus gasps by Madcap's threat. Madcap then leaves the lair) Good talk! Bye!
Dr. Nautilus: Oh!
(Dr. Nautilus commands his tentacles to appear out of the sewage water and he laughs evilly)
Scene: Axel's room. The Power Players are in the middle of training.
(Action Axel strains as he is strangling climbing up to the bottom shelf)
Galileo: Is this the end for Action Axel?
(Galileo gets onto the bottom shelf)
Action Axel: No way, Galileo!
(Action Axel and Sarge both make it to the top of the shelf. Meanwhile, Masko is at the bottom and he's hanging onto the top of the wooden chest)
Masko: Well, is the end for Masko! Too much the heights!
(Galileo makes it to the top shelf first)
Galileo: Allez hop!
(Galileo grabs a pulley and ziplines across to the closet drawer near the window)
Action Axel: Right behind you!
(Action Axel grabs a pulley and ziplines across)
Scene: Hallways outside Axel's room. Uncle Andrew is walking up the stairs to call out Axel.
Uncle Andrew: Axel! Luka's here!
Scene: Axel's room.
Action Axel: All right!
(Action Axel presses the button on the back of his helmet and he lets go of his pulley. He transforms back into his human form and lands onto the ground)
Axel: Finally! You guy'll need to go stealth, okay?
(Axel gets out of the room while the Power Players all go to stealth mode)
Scene: Living room of the Toy Store. Uncle Andrew is giving Luka his instruction.
Uncle Andrew: Remember, Luka. No going outside, no touching the stove, and because Axel is the oldest, he's in charge!
(Axel makes it to the living room)
Axel: Go! Have fun at the Public Radio fair! I'm a great babysitter! Everything will be fine!
Uncle Andrew: “Playdate” not “babysit”.
(Uncle Andrew closes the second-floor door and heads out of the house)
Axel: Yes. (He does a handshake with Luka) Okay, Luka. It's your playdate. What do you want to do first?
(Later, Axel and Luka are at the kitchen table)
Luka: Yay! We can do anything we want! Just like grown-ups!
(Luka knocks over a popcorn holder which spills the popcorn kernels onto the table. Axel picks a popcorn kernel and eats one)
Axel: That's not how it works, Luka. Grown-ups have a lot to do.
Luka: You're so wise. Teach me the ways of these mysterious grown-ups.
Axel: Well… (He heads to the refrigerator and opens the door) Grown-ups decide what and when to eat!
Luka: Yum!
(Later, Axel and Luka are using a plate and imagine themselves driving a car, spilling foods on the floor)
Axel: Grown-ups drive! (Luka laughs. Later, Axel and Luka pretend to read the newspaper. Axel is wearing Luka's glasses) Grown-ups read the paper. Looks like pirate activity in the Bermuda Triangle.
(Axel and Luka both toss their newspapers aside)
Axel and Luka: Old people news is so cool!
Scene: Bathroom. Luka and Axel are playing with Andrew's shaving cream.
(Luka sprays out shaving cream to his face. Axel appears next to him, having sprayed his face to create a mustache and glasses out of shaving cream to pretend to be an old man)
Axel: Grown-ups shave.
(Axel and Luka both laugh in amusement. Axel notices a large tentacle appearing out of the bathtub drain and gasps. Before the tentacle can attack Luka, Axel throws a sweeping broom at it. He gets into the bathtub and stomps onto the tentacle, before pretending to act casual in front of Luka)
Luka: Is plumbing something grown-ups do too?
Axel: Um, yes!
Luka: Oh! I wanna try!
(Axel notices more tentacles are appearing in the bathroom)
Axel: Uh… later! We have other grown-up stuff downstairs! Go!
(Axel pushes Luka out of the bathroom before the latter could notice the tentacles)
Scene: Living room. Axel turns on the living room TV to keep Luka distracted.
Axel: Here! Grown-up TV-watching instead!
King Arthur: I am King Arthur of Camelot!
Luka: Yes!
Englishmen: My King! Arthur!
Axel: Phew! (He notices more tentacles appearing in the kitchen. Axel immediately pushes Luka out of the living room to head downstairs to prevent him from seeing the tentacles) Oh! Or… better idea!
Luka: Aaah! Wait!
Axel:' No can do! Too excited!
Scene: Andrew's workshop. Axel shoves Luka into the workshop.
Axel: Here! The most grown-up thing of all… Uh, work! This is your new office!
Luka: Okay! But what's my job?
Axel: Uh… security guard! Watch over this stuff, but don't touch anything, okay? Okay! You work, and I'll be right back!
(Axel closes the workshop door and immediately heads back to the second floor)
Luka: Yes, sir! Security watching mode activated, sir!
Scene: Second floor of the house.
Axel: Phew! (A tentacles throws a plate and it smashes next to him. He activates his wrist communicator from his Power Bandz to speak to the Power Players from his room) Everybody? I don't know what we're playing, but game on!
(After the transformation, the Power Players arrive at the living room after sliding down from the stair banister)
Galileo: Woohoo!
Masko: Ha!
Action Axel: Okay, let's see what… oh, boy!
(When Action Axel looks at his wrist communicator, Sarge Charge appears at the top-right of his holographic projector)
Sarge Charge: Axel! We've got vine-tacles coming out of the bathroom and up from the… yeah, 86 the deets. They're everywhere!
Action Axel: Masko, Galileo, you take the kitchen!
Galileo: On it!
Action Axel: Bearbarian, living room!
Bearbarian: Done.
Action Axel: Slobot, figure out where it's coming from!
Slobot: Immediately.
Action Axel: Bobbie, with me and Sarge for the battle in the bathroom front line!
Bobbie Blobby: I'm all over that.
Scene: Bathroom. Sarge is firing his blaster at the tentacles.
Sarge Charge: Huh? Need a bigger blaster! (He tosses aside the blaster gun he's holding and pulls out the supa-mega-blaster) Oop. (He fires his supa-mega-blaster at the tentacles) It's unstoppable!
(Bobbie arrives in the bathroom)
Bobbie Blobby: Hasn't met me yet!
(Bobbie throws a clay spike ball at the tentacles, but the tentacles continue attacking the two toys)
Sarge Charge: Sorry, kid. Looks like the end of the world! We're goin' down!
Bobbie Blobby: This is why I hate nature.
(Action Axel arrives in the bathroom)
Action Axel: We got this! Just gotta… (A tentacle knocks Action Axel's Power Sword out of his hand and its blade sticks onto the ceiling above him) Oh, no! Drone, I need a lift! (He activates his Power Drone and lifts himself up into the air. He pulls his Power Sword off the ceiling and slices several incoming tentacles) Don't give up! I'll go check downstairs!

Luka: Axel?

(Action Axel arrives at the second floor, but he quickly notices the door that leads to the staircases is about to open)
Action Axel: No, no, no!
(Action Axel immediately transforms back to his human form. Axel rushes in front of the door just as Luka opens it)
Axel: Luka! Buddy!
Luka: What's that noise? Are you doing grown-up stuff without me?
Axel: No! But you are, you top-notch security guy!
Scene: Andrew's workshop. Axel pushes Luka back to the workshop.
Axel: Great so far! Keep doing what you're doing!
Luka: But I'm just doing nothing!
Axel: Yes! Keep doing that. (Masko's scream can be heard from upstairs) And, uh… touch anything you want, if that'll keep you in here!
(Axel closes the workshop door and heads back upstairs)
Scene: Second floor of the house.
Axel: Phew!
(Axel transforms back into Action Axel. A tentacle is grabbing Masko and carries him around the second floor)
Masko: Aaah! (The tentacle slams him to the kitchen floor before it picks him back up. Three more tentacles appear and restrain him) Ninja Spider Lock!
Galileo: Excuse you! Ninja stuff is my jam!
(Galileo throws two discs at the tentacles, slicing them and breaking Masko free of his restraints)
Masko: I hope the aim is good!
(Galileo runs off and some of the tentacles start following him)
Galileo: The aim is always camera ready! Pick up on tentacle six!
(Galileo gets onto a tentacle and continues running until he reaches the tip of it. He jumps up when Action Axel arrives and he grabs onto his hand)
Action Axel: Gotcha!
(Action Axel, while carrying Galileo underneath him, flies around the kitchen)
Galileo: This should be our new combo move!
Action Axel: Or maybe not!
Galileo: Duck!
(Action Axel and Galileo both see a tentacle up ahead, but Action Axel dodges it)
Action Axel: Ha! Missed!
Galileo: That one!
(A tentacle grabs Action Axel's right leg and tosses him aside)

(Luka heads upstairs to get to the second floor again)
Scene: Second floor of the house. Action Axel hears Luka coming so he immediately rushes to the door and tries to prevent it from being opened.
Action Axel: Luka, I thought you were down there touching stuff!
(Luka opens the door and peeks in, but he didn't see Action Axel because of his short stature)
Luka: Whoa! Did you make yourself invisible?
(Action Axel shuts the door before Luka can see the chaos on the second floor. He transforms back into his human form before he opens the door and shuts it behind him)
Axel: Uh, invisibility is, uh, one of my adult skills!
(Luka shakes Axel)
Luka: Teach me! Teach me!
(Axel pushes Luka back to the workshop)
Axel: Later!
Scene: Andrew's workshop.
Axel: Practice being invisible for now!
Luka: Huh? (Axel closes the door and heads back upstairs for the third time) Oh, practice? I don't know how!
(In the staircases, Axel heads back to the second floor)
Axel: Try!
Scene: Second floor of the house. Axel places a broom above the doorknob to barricade the door and prevent Luka from coming back in.
Axel: Game on! Again!
(Before Axel transforms back into toy mode, Bearbarian charges to the tentacles)
Bearbarian: Roar! (He smashes a couple of tentacles with World Breaker) What I lack in green thumbs I make up for with big paws!
(Bearbarian smashes World Breaker to the floor. Action Axel hides behind a sofa and calls Slobot who's in Axel's room)
Action Axel: Slobot, gimme some good news!
Slobot: The creature lives in water. It has spread through all the pipes in the house and continues growing, no matter the offensive tactic.
Action Axel: I said good news!
Slobot: That is the good news.
(Action Axel looks up and sees the tentacles grabbing Bearbarian)
Action Axel: Bearbarian, look out!
(Action Axel gets of the way when the tentacles slam Bearbarian to the floor)
Bearbarian: Whoa!
Scene: Andrew's workshop.
(Luka gets bored after playing with the toys for too long. Just then, a tentacle appears next to him and it's about to attack him)

Scene: Second floor of the house.
(Action Axel is being dragged by a tentacle)
Action Axel: What… aaah… is this?
(The tentacle drops Action Axel to get the ground, making him roll towards Masko and Galileo)
Galileo: Something's coming!
(Action Axel crashes into Masko and Galileo. Just then, Dr. Nautilus appears out of the kitchen sink drain)
Dr. Nautilus: Behold your new master!
(Action Axel, Masko, and Galileo all get back onto their feet)
Action Axel: Nautilus!
Dr. Nautilus: Dr. Nautilus. Master of the Monsters! King of Thing-That-Go-Slither-In-The-Night! Ruler of the Dangerous Depths! But…
(Masko yawns)
Masko: Many the sorry. Your too much words make for the sleepy-time sounds.
Action Axel: All right! Let's do this!
Galileo: Axel… Luka!
(Outside of the living room, Luka is trying to open the door to get inside)
Action Axel: Huh?
Luka: Axel?
Action Axel: Aw, man. Really?
(Action Axel walks away from the kitchen)
Dr. Nautilus: Sovereign of the Seven Seas!
Masko: Make it the stop!
(Action Axel transforms back into his human form and heads to the door. He removes the broom and opens the door)
Luka: I know your secret, Axel. No use pretending.
Axel: You do?
Luka: You've got a gardening problem with some wild vines and don't wanna mess up our playdate, so you're trying to handle it. And I found a way to help. But I'm just a kid, so…
Axel: There are no small ideas. Lay it on me!
Luka: Well, I know that vines like waters, so maybe you could use this to dry 'em out?
(Luka hands Axel the hairdryer)
Axel: That's exactly what I need!
Luka: We grew algae for a project. It's a little kid-thing too.
Axel: It's a genius thing! You may have just saved the day!
Luka: Oh, so can I come out of the--?
(Axel slams the door close)
Axel: Thanks!
Dr. Nautilus: Diviner of the deepest depths! And with my new plant friends… (Masko and Galileo both pounce up to attack him since he's too busy monologuing to himself, but the two and Bearbarian all get captured by the tentacles) Madcap will have to acknowledge my genius. My mastery of botany! My perfect plan for plaguing you with plant life.
Scene: Bathroom. Action Axel arrives to rescue Bobbie and Sarge who're both held captive by the tentacles.
Action Axel: Hang on, guys! Help has arrived!
(Action Axel turns on the hairdryer and dries up all the tentacles in the bathroom)
Sarge Charge: Can't stand the heat? Stay out of the bathroom!
Scene: Kitchen.
Dr. Nautilus: Thus, Madcap can set in stone the greatest of them all, Dr… (The tentacles he's standing on starts to move) Aaah!
(The tentacles let go of Bearbarian, Galileo, and Masko)
Masko: Whoa!
(The three toys all notice the tentacles all retreating from the second floor)
Bearbarian: What sorcery is this?
(Bobbie, Sarge, and Action Axel all arrive in the kitchen)
Action Axel: None! Just nine-year-old science, courtesy of Luka!
(Action Axel turns on the hairdryer, causing the tentacles to retreat back into the drain)
Dr. Nautilus: Aaah! Hey! I wasn't finished!
(Dr. Nautilus gets flushed down the kitchen sink drain and sent back to the drain. Axel opens the second-floor door to see Luka napping)
Axel: Luka? You were a huge help today. So I've decided to be a better friend and tell you the truth. That wasn't a garden problem. It was a vine monster sent by this whacked-out toy, Dr. Nautilus. Nobody knows if he is a doctor, but he's definitely bonkers. Luckily, I can transform into a super-toy, and with all my toy friends and your hairdryer idea, I managed to--
(Luka laughs)
Luka: You're funny, Axel. You can keep your kids' stories for someone else. Remember? This is a grown-up playdate!
Axel: Yeah, I guess it is, Luka. Just plain old grown-up stuff You got it.
Luka: You've bigger than me, but you're not an adult yet either!
(Below the kids, the Power Players all head out of the living room to get to the staircase)
Axel: True, but we still have one more grown-up thing left to do.
Luka: Clean up before Uncle Andrew gets back?
Axel: Yup.
Luka: Ha, ha! Grown-ups sure do a lot of stuff that ain't fun!
Axel: Yes.
(The boys start cleaning up the house)
