Wren? Ready to go?
Yeah.
It's just...
I never got to do stuff the entire time I've had these on.
Stuff I wanted, I mean.
You want a change of pace, there's plenty going on out there.

{Welcome to your life}
{There's no turning back}

Everybody wants to rule the world~

As citizens may know,
a gigantic meteor is causing weather anomalies across the globe,
and getting closer to the earth's atmosphere.
Experts have pinpoint its arrival within the next few days,
and are working to stop it.
Additionally, a major thunderstorm warning
is in effect for Emerton and surrounding counties today.
Several power lines have been struck down
and caused power outages across the state.
Local school districts are ordered to close their doors until further notice.
[ringing]
(Your appointment was canceled.)
(Ortho's closed.)
(Something went wrong on that side of town.)
School was canceled, Mom.
They...the meteor...
(I can't hear you, honey.)
(You're...I'm...traffic...)
[thunder and lightning]
[beeping]
[two voices] Wren!
Come on, we need to go!
And do what?
Hide?
What's the point?
We're all gonna die!
You are my best friend.
Best friends scream into the void.
Together.
No.
This is worse than the end of the world.
I don't care if I have to crawl to the ends of the tri-state area.
I'm finding an orthodontist
and ending my four-year sentence in this metal prison.
But...that's dangerous!
No one could be left for all we know!
Listen.
My whole life,
I've wanted an adventure.
This is it.
Who's with me?
[music]
Don't worry, pals.
I'm sure this'll be no problem at all.
[lightning strike]
[creaking]
[crashing]
I stand corrected.
Everyone get inside! No one leave!
[soft yelling]
Stay quiet!
Wren. The Walkman.
[thunder]
OK. So. What's the plan?
Get to the orthodontics building.
First, we need to break out of here silently.
What if our phones-?
No one can call you.
But we need them for maps.
So don't lose your phones.
Wait, lose the phones?
DON'T lose the phones!
Dude, I just threw two away!
TWO?!
[ding, ding]
I am so, so, so, so, so, sorry.
Don't worry about it, Tim.
If it gives you that much anxiety, I understand.
You don't have to come with us if you don't want to.
It's really okay.
I'll be even more scared if my sister goes without me.
I want to help.
We should try escaping through the window.
In front of everyone?
No.
That would attract way too much attention.
I have a better idea,
but it involves pyrotechnics.
You can hardly see anything in here.
We could probably make it.
Distraction: fire alarm.
No power. Better idea. Two words:
Fur. Suit.
That's one word.
You can bribe one of the teachers with your music thingy.
Adults LOVE old junk like that.
I would rather-
Hey, I found a secret exit if you wanna use that.
Also, we're getting our phones from the mascot head when this is over.
Fay, why is your wallpaper-?
Oops!
Carry on.
Now I just have to map our route on the-
Oh.
Yeah.
No signal.
That explains it.
So how do we find it?
I've visited that office for four years.
I'll just draw a map from memory.
What the-?
Is it supposed to be a cat?
Ahh!
Hey!
[giggles]
[sparks]
I found an actual map.
Nice.
I'll admit that this is much better.
[beep]
So...
you still have work right now?
I can't leave the apocalypse.
I'm all out of vacation days.
[beep]
This is a robbery!
Everyone out!
Not you.
The kid stays for collateral.
And in case we want headphones.
Load up!
Maybe we should call the cops.
If that were an option, yeah.
I have a better idea.
[mocking laughter]
You're going to pay for that.
What do you think this is? Window shopping?
You misunderstood.
You're going to pay for that.
What's happening?
Can you see-? Ow.
(We're not playing around.)
Try something. I dare you.
[sprinklers]
[confusion]
[yelling]
HI-YA!
[rock music]
Locked.
Hey!
Open up!
[softly] Can I help you?
Do you need to get somewhere?
Yeah. We-
Oh, hi, Wren.
Hey, Giffany.
I'm here for my-
Did your mom not tell you?
The doctor was too scared to work today.
He sent me to close up office.
I'm not sure how to explain this, but-
They don't want to be the last person on earth with braces.
OK. I think I can help you. Come on.
She's my orthodontic assistant.
I've seen her for years.
My mom called it "Breakfast at Giffany's."
You both sound like nerds.
There are other places you can go,
but we don't have enough power to remove your braces safely.
I gotta go.
Wait.
Shouldn't the three of you be taking shelter or something?
Does anybody else hear that?
Hear what?
No?
Earthquake!
To the elevator! Go, go, go!
Are you sure that being underground is a good idea?
Yep.
This room will hold up.
Nice job sensing it early.
This one's really old.
Look. Something was crossed out.
Weird.
The doctor used this compound past it being outlawed.
He didn't know,
and when he did, he threw everything we had out.
The paper...
The scientists need that to stop the meteor.
When specifically did you stop using it?
Um, in June 2014, we threw everything out.
They got their braces on four years ago.
Do you record what you use for every procedure?
I mean, yeah-
Can you find it?
Well, we have a copy of every patient's history upstairs,
but we keep the originals down here,
so I should be able to...
What?
Oh, no.
There was a mistake on the...
We didn't throw everything out above storage.
We used whatever was left up there until it was gone.
There was barely anything.
It couldn't...
Wren.
You were the last...
The compound is in your braces.
[celebrating]
How's THAT for an adventure?
You're gonna save the world!
Awesome!
Thanks, Giffany.
You're...
welcome?
Trust me.
That was the best mistake of my life.
Listen.
I'm heading home.
Do you need a ride?
And take all the fun out of it?
No, thanks.
OK.
Good luck.
[engine sounds]
Excuse me.
I don't have an appointment,
but can someone please remove my braces?
Why now?!
They've got the missing component for the gamma ray.
[music - "Livin' On A Prayer"]
Get them!
[yelling]
AAH!!!!
{Oh, we're halfway there}
{Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer}
{Take my hand}
{We'll make it, I swear}
{Oh-}
Why are they chasing us?
They either don't believe us or are way too eager to help. (For comedic effect?)
What?
Nothing!
New plan.
Definitely.
Maybe we should just go to the scientists directly and let THEM take it out.
NASA?
How would we get there?
I don't know.
I wouldn't get past airport security, and we're broke anyway.
[record scratch]
I know someone who can help.
[skid]
Heh heh.
You can get us to the NASA research center?
Absolutely!
I just got my learner's permit,
so this should be a piece of cake.
This is Steven.
He's the tenth grader who hid our phones for us back at school.
Oh.
Thanks.
My pleasure.
Wait, Steven?
Like school mascot Steven?
I'd prefer not to talk about it.
Anyway, I told everyone else about your mission.
It's so cool you're going on an adventure during the apocalypse.
I was so inspired, I've been helping people all day.
Do you know if anyone's looking for us?
I don't see how.
The power's down everywhere-
SQUIRREL!
[screech]
Can we stop?
Fight it, bro!
Alright, I'll stop talking now.
He's my cousin, he's a pilot in training, and he'll get you where you need to go.
That's a utility helicopter.
You'll be fine.
And you're doing this because...?
I want you to be my friends.
Good luck.
(Welcome aboard, peeps.)
(If everyone is secure, we'll be there in no time.)
Uh, why aren't they in a seat?
I'm the main character.
This is where I go.
Do you actually believe us?
(I believe my cousin would be willing to help anyone.)
That's fair.
Does anyone know how far we are?
Or how long we'll be up this high?
I guess we'll find out.
[fire crackling]
Are we there yet-oh my gosh, what's happening?
Some people just wanna watch the world burn.
Too soon.
Literally way too soon.
Wren's deathly scared of burning, remember?
Almost out.
No need to panic yet.
You're both scared of heights, Fay.
Or are you not afraid of anything?
I'm afraid of falling, but that won't happen, so I'm cool with it.
[error noise]
[imitates error noise sarcastically]
What now?
[switch, ding]
Uh, you need to leave.
What? Why?
I can't see through the smoke,
and the tank's low on fuel.
The helicopter could crash into a tree, erupt into flames, or worse.
Worse?!
And that's why you can't trust strangers, kids!
There's safe landing area.
Just let me help you get your parachutes on-
[bang, scream]
Cousin Steven, no!
My name is-
What do we do?
Get the parachute!
You have to get back on!
I'm sorry!
Every man for himseeeeeeelf!
[helicopter crashing noises]
[music - "The Final Countdown"]
[click, raise]
Wren, we have to-
No!
I'm not giving up!
I can't find a spare parachute!
Anywhere!
Need a little help over here!
We have to land.
How do we land?!
I won't let you abandon him in an actual FOREST FIRE, Wren!
That's understandable!
There's no WAY I'm flying this!
Tim, grab the thing!
I'm trying!
Fay, grab the other thing!
Got it!
Pull up!
No, I mean, push down!
Do you even know what you're doing?
Not really!
Why the [bang] did you take it off autopilot?
I don't know where he went.
Try turning around.
[all] AHH!
There he is!
[all yelling]
Think, think, think, think!
He can't get to us because we're going down anyway.
Right. And we can't land because we'll be too low to reach him.
I have an idea.
We'll help him climb down.
Sis, can you find a rope ladder?
Got it.
What are you even doing?
It's losing altitude, but I don't know how to stop it completely.
What if you take your hands off the steering wheel?
That's a GREAT idea!
Let's just plummet to our destruction!
I'm sorry.
Stay calm.
{It's the final-}
(Wren, no!) Wait, I didn't mean to-!
[crash]
Is everyone okay?
The ladder should be low enough to climb down.
I can't do it.
We're too far up!
And the fire's getting closer!
Little brother, I believe in you.
I also believe we're in much more danger than you are right now, so MOVE.
This way to the clearing.
The fire ends there.
Good thing it's not here yet,
'cause that's a VERY flammable-
[crash, fire crackling]
Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! NOPE!
I singed my arm a bit to get it, but...
Thanks, Tim.
[music stops]
Wait, WHAT?
Oh, the apocalypse is REALLY going down now!
Wouldn't that imply-?
I know what I said!
You plan to finish this.
'Course we do.
Then you'd better hide before backup arrives and arrests me for endangerment.
Right.
To the bushes!
Ugh, my legs are killing me.
The city's about two miles away.
Unless it's a mirage and we're dying and it's a mirage.
We left a forest, Fay.
[music - "I Want To Know What Love Is"]
[singing] In my life,
there's been heartache and pain.
I don't know
if I can [both] face it again.
Can't stop now,
I've traveled so far, to-
CHANGE THIS LONELY LIIIIIIFE
[all] I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IIIIISSS
I WANT YOU TO SHOOOW MEEEEEEE
I WANT TO FEEL WHAT LOVE IIIIIIISSS
I KNOW YOU CAN-
[distant disaster]
[music, ambient sounds]
Keep walking.
[hail sounds]
Hey!
[car alarm]
That was completely unnecessary and you know it!
Ow, ow, ow.
No offense, but this doesn't seem like the best course of judgement.
Dr. Surlaw is my orthodontist.
I don't know why he's here,
but I'm not taking any chances.
[gasp]
Wren, is it?
Haven't seen you in a while, kid.
Sorry to intrude, sir, but...
You have an appointment to make up for.
Excuse them.
We have a lot to catch up on.
OK, why don't you-?
[forcefully] Sit down.
So.
The world is ending.
And YOU can fix it.
Yeah, we have reason to believe you've been hiding the cure to the apocalypse this whole time?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Face the facts, Dr. Coleslaw.
It's-
Tim, evidence.
We came here to get to the NASA research center
because experts are looking for a specific compound to power the gamma ray with.
Specific compound.
A compound that YOU have used post-recall
as an adhesive in dental procedures.
Dental procedures.
You can't just repeat everything I say to sound threatening.
She does this.
Face the facts, Dr. Surlaw.
You have a lot to do with this.
Fine. You got me.
I knew they were looking for radioactive molybdenium,
but I'm the one who destroyed it,
so I hid.
Eventually, someone found out and I came here,
but I'm not much help.
Unless they find any, I can't leave.
Giffany showed us the records.
I know it was last used on my braces.
Wren, I had no idea.
You really think I would plan this?
That doesn't matter right now.
You have to take them off.
Please.
They dragged us all this way!
We crashed a helicopter!
I'm begging you.
We can stop this.
Calm down.
I can't remove them without proper equipment.
What do you mean?
Of course you can!
Tim, find pliers.
On it!
Even if I do, there's no guarantee of extracting-
You are going to help us,
whether you like it or not,
and you will be held responsible for your actions.
You can't run anymore, sir.
Can both of you turn it down a little?
Maybe?
I can't help you,
but I know someone in the research center who can.
I'll take you to them, but then I want out of this.
Deal.
Look! There's a cell tower!
Full bars and eleven missed calls from your mom.
Shouldn't YOUR parents be worried by now?
Our mom usually calls ME,
and I tossed my phone a while ago, so...
According to this update, the meteor's coming...
today.
It's coming today.
You can go ahead now.
Aren't you coming with us?
I'm afraid not.
The world depends on the three of you now.
To be honest, I never do removals myself.
Hey!
You shouldn't be in here!
There's radioactive molybdenium in my braces,
Dr. Surlaw brought us,
we're trying to stop the meteor,
please don't hurt me.
I'm glad you're here, Wren.
There's no need to be scared.
I'm Dr. Live.
The others abandoned the project, but I knew things would come through.
Follow me.
The two of you can wait out here.
Everything is set up to begin the procedure.
I can hang on to your music player if you-
No.
This feels so underwhelming for some reason.
And we're saving the world.
Eh.
As long as Wren's happy, I guess.
What do you think they'll sound like after?
I don't know.
Have we ever heard them without braces?
Not that I can remember.
They'd be okay with us looking for the bathrooms.
[flushing]
Where did we come from again?
Wait, we're lost?
No, this way!
Woah, woah, woah.
What's HE doing here?
What are THEY doing here?
Go.
I'll catch up with you.
You know what I'm going to say.
I'm sorry...
My family...
[gasp]
I can't believe you did that!
What did you do?
You need to get out of here before it's too late.
We're not leaving until this is over, so spill it.
Dr. Live isn't with NASA at all, to my knowledge,
but he tracked me down and took my family hostage.
That's why I couldn't leave.
What reason could he possibly have-?
He had no choice.
I wanted no part of his plan.
Stopping the meteor?
Allowing it,
by taking the compound and making sure no one can use it,
at all costs.
Wren would figure that out.
And then they'd try to stop him because they want to be the hero and then-
We have to go.
Wrong way!
Thanks!
Stay safe!
I have to say the old man delivered.
I kinda wanna drink something.
I-kind-of-want-to-drink-something.
Ooh.
You should be proud of yourself. (Supercali-)
-fragilisticexpiali-
Hey, how do you know my name?
Wren!
Aah!
(He's going to kill you!)
[chimes]
No, I'm not!
[battle cry]
Get off of me!
[nervous Tim sound]
Run!
You won't stop me!
Sure about that?
Holy cheese, they're gone.
Nice.
I got the compound, by the way.
You didn't have to announce it.
Incoming.
He took Dr. Surlaw's family!
That's why he couldn't leave!
Oh, no!
His name is literally "evil" spelled backward!
We thought you'd figure that out-
No, that!
No, no, no, no, no-!
Give the compound to me.
What's your problem?
You don't have to hurt anyone.
He wants to destroy the earth.
Not in this story.
Monkey in the middle!
[nervous Tim sound]
Diversion!
Hey, get back here!
Was that an obscure Goosebumps reference?!
This is getting really annoying!
Careful!
Please stop that!
I have no idea what you're talking about!
Stop at once!
Not again!
Not again!
Curse my top-heavy body!
Finders, keepers.
[grunts]
No where to run now!
That's what YOU think!
Hi-ya!
[thunk]
Uh...
[taser sound]
Uh...?!
My turn!
[crash]
[panting]
A tornado?
Seriously?!
[groans]
Hi-ya!
That must be it. That's where the ray is.
Locked.
As usual.
There's only up.
I have an idea, but-
[both] We're doing that!
OK!
All you have to do is climb as high as you can
and wait for the tornado to knock you over.
That is literally the worst idea I have ever heard.
[ringing]
It's my mom.
There's no ti-
We'll find our own way in.
Good luck.
Mom?
Wren!
Goodness' sakes, I was worried something happened to you.
Yep.
That would be bad.
You sound different.
Whatever you're doing-
I'm saving the world, Mom.
Oh.
I'm not surprised.
You're...
not?
If anyone was going to try, it would be you.
[creaking]
I don't know if I can do this.
Listen to me.
You're Wren.
The Wren who won the ninth grade science fair.
Who's strong willed,
who's the most optimistic,
brave,
and imaginative kid I know.
You can be your own hero.
Wow.
Thanks, Mom-
[phone breaks]
[dial tone]
Why!
Won't!
You!
Let!
Us!
In!
You!
Piece! Of!
Tada!
Wow.
This entire room is like...
The closet of convenience.
That was bad.
I know.
Are you okay?
I came this whole way to protect my best friend and my little brother,
and I can't guarantee I can do that anymore.
I'm not an indestructible force of nature, Tim.
That's what's wrong?
I know that's why you look up to me.
I look up to you because you're so calm all the time.
This is calm to you.
You're so protective of everyone.
You make me feel safe.
Aww, that's really...
Do you see something wrong with this picture?
Where's Dr. Live?
We should hurry.
Agreed.
[music - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"]
{There's a room where the light won't find you}
{Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down}
{When they do, I'll be right behind you}
I'm indestructible, you fools!
Aah!
[creak]
[crash, sparks]
Don't do this!
Please!
I have to.
It's the only way.
That's not your decision to make.
Do you think I haven't thought about this?
Humanity needs to end.
There's no goodness left in the world.
You and your friends alone practically forgot I was a person.
Dr. Live, I'm sorry, but-
I'm not even with NASA.
I broke in.
My real name is Bread Live
because my parents were torn between Brad and Brendon.
I'm unemployed.
I lost my family.
Look around you.
Even now, people are suffering.
There's no goodness left in the world!
Mr. Live, listen to me.
Oh, for the love of-
Everything's going to actually work out, OK?
Look around you.
People have been coming together even if it seems like there's no reason to have hope.
The fact that you wish there was goodness in the world
proves that there's goodness in you,
and if there can be goodness in you,
then there can be goodness in everybody.
Your friend hit me in the face with a fire extinguisher.
I apologize on her behalf.
Your words are nothing to me.
No one has shown me a bit of kindness for a long time.
I can't imagine how much hurt you've been through
that you don't see another way out,
but it can't get better if you allow the world to be destroyed.
You can help us.
We'll be your friends.
What did you say?
We'll be.
Your friends.
Thank you.
This is the most hopeful I've felt-
[crash, sparks]
Mr. Live!
I'm okay!
Armadillo and all that.
Ow.
[beeps]
Wren! Over here! Wren! (Wren! Wren! Open up!)
Pals!
How'd you-
[both] Behind you!
[crash]
I was wondering...
How'd you get up here?
We found some tools in the lab.
Where's the evil guy?
Uh...
On the ground?
I think he'll be okay with this,
but
you have to go.
It's too dangerous
[crash]
and there's not much time left.
Go somewhere safe.
Please.
What are you-?
They were my braces.
This is my responsibility.
This was my big adventure.
I'm the hero now.
Look outside of yourself for once
and listen to me for one second!
It's the world or yourself, Wren.
You can't do this alone.
[beeps]
Is that true?
All this time.
I thought we were helping everyone else,
but they've only helped us.
And the two of them...
Of course.
It's not me.
It's never been me.
There's more than one hero.
There has to be.
Otherwise, why would the world be worth saving?
Yes, I get it now!
Come in quick!
The door was unlocked the whole time.
We knew you'd let us in.
We just wanted you to say you needed us.
And you're the worst.
[beeps]
Angle it up some.
Too much.
Down.
A little to the left...
Tiny bit right...
There!
[thunk]
Let me see...
What are you doing?
We need to hurry up, people!
Yeah, I can't move.
What do you mean you can't-?
You have to hold it in place while it fires.
I'm scared, too.
Friends fall into the void.
Together.
That's MY thing!
[ray powers up] ("Firing in 10...9...8...7...")
("6...")
("5...")
("4...")
Wait, we need a cool thing to say!
What's a cool thing to-?!
[bang]
[gasp]
[rips up paper]
Hoorah!
(Yay, we're alive, we get to live, yay, woohoo, yay-!)
That's my kid!
Woohoo!
[crash]
[all] Ow.
They fought so valiantly.
(Not without my pals!)
Sometimes we can still hear their voice.
[class laughs]
(Hey, quit telling people I'm dead!)
[class laughs more]
The world has been saved,
thanks to the combined efforts
of several Emerton teenagers.
Bread Live has been imprisoned for attempted terrorist attack
and for interfering with the government.
In a statement, Live said that he plans to,
"make the world a better place, not harm it,"
once he has fulfilled his sentence.

("Ten new messages.")
Tim, where are you?
The power went out everywhere and we're a little worried.
Call me back.
[beep]
Is everyone at the school okay?
We have no idea what's going on.
Call me back!
[beep]
I can't reach your sister
and there's a huge storm outside and-
AUGH, I'll call you back!

We're staying in the cellar.
I'm losing signal.
Call me back as soon as you can.

I can't reach your sister!
Young man, I swear, if you don't-!
[beep]
When I get my hands on you, you're grounded.
Do you hear me?
Grounded!
[beep]
I'm sorry if I scared you.
I really hope you're alright.
But seriously, you're in trouble.
[beep]
Answer!
Your phone!
[beep]
The least you could do is pick up some toilet paper.
[beep]
OK, I'm about to lose signal,
I love you,
you're GROUNDED!
