We need a new plan. 20 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 5: We have done so many love machines. I think it's 21 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 5: time for us to expand our power. Who has an 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 5: idea of what is something natural in the world that 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 5: has lots of power? 24 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,919 Speaker 6: Well, boss, my kids have a lot of power. 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: Doctor Stinkybath couldn't help but laugh at a toot joke. 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 7: I love it, but I'm talking about more power, like 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 7: like a tornado. You'd think we could make our own 28 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 7: tornadoes to you know, destroys the world. I think that 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 7: would be a fun one. 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Boss, that would be a great idea. Well, 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 6: get it set up in a in our desert secret lab. 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 6: Get it going on this letter this afternoon. We'll do 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 6: some tests. That's a great idea, Boss. 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 8: Phil, Thank you very much. Of course, it's a good idea. 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 8: I made it so I don't want this to be 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 8: messed up. Go and make me the greatest tornado creator. 37 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: In the world. Meanwhile, Cameron was at home shoveling his driveway. 38 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: There had been a lot of snow that had fallen, 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 2: and it was his job and his muscles that needed 40 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: to get all that snow off of the driveway. Ha spoosh, sploosh, whew, 41 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: all right, almost done. Cameron had been working really hard 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: and shoveling his driveway. He was piling all the snow 43 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: into one spot. And do you know what he was 44 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: gonna do with that giant pile of snow, Yes, Bill 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: of fort, of course. 46 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 6: Oh. 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: I love building snow forts. That's something that I really 48 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: miss doing. Now that we live in South Carolina, we 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: don't get much snow, and Cameron, that's so lucky that 50 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: he got dumped with a whole bunch of snow, because 51 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: as he's building this giant pile of snow, he can 52 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: start excavating it and create one of the coolest snow 53 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: forts in the city. It only took a few more 54 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: scoops to clear out his whole driveway of all that 55 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: white stuff. You see, it had snowed all night long 56 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: and had dumped almost one foot of snow. That means 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: almost all the way up to his knees as he 58 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: was walking around. That's how deep the snow was. 59 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 5: Sure. 60 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: Now that that's done, now the fun part. As he 61 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: started digging with his hands into this big pile of snow, 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: he was able to start the formation of his snow fort. 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: This was gonna be one of the best ones he's 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: ever built because he never had this much snow to 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: work with before, and so the more snow you have, 66 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: the bigger the fort it can be. After about fifteen minutes, 67 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: he was able to crawl inside and start working on 68 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: a window that was pretty important to let some fresh 69 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: air in and an emergency way out in case the 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: snow caved in. That was always the coldest part. If 71 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: the snow fell all over you, and yikes, that would 72 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: be very very cold, and you always need an emergency 73 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: way outps. Cameron's eyes lit up when he heard that sound. 74 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: It was hard to pull his walkie talkie out of 75 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: his pocket with all those gloves, and when you have 76 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: all your snow gearon, it's kind of hard to get 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: your hands in your pockets. But he was finally able 78 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: to pull the walkie talkie out and press the button. 79 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 3: Cameron, this is HQ. We need your help in the desert. 80 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: There seems to be a new secret lab of doctor 81 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: Stinky Breaths, not only in the blimp, but they have 82 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: something going on in the desert that we're very concerned about. 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: We need you to report to the desert as soon 84 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 3: as possible to figure out what is going on over. 85 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: Sh the desert, said Cameron. Oh boy, that's gonna be 86 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: a little different from where I'm at right now. As 87 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: he was surrounded by mountains and mountains of snow, he 88 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: raced inside to change his clothes because he knew that 89 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: he couldn't wear all this stuff to the desert. Or 90 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: else he might sweat all of his hair out. After 91 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: he changed his clothes and grabbed all his spy gear, 92 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: he blasted off towards the desert road. It's kind of cold, 93 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: blasting through the cloves with the jetpack. I guess I 94 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: should have worn warmer clothes now and then changed when 95 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: I got there. Cameron was right. It was probably a 96 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: little too early to change all of his clothes into 97 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: shorts and short sleeved shirts for the desert because he 98 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: still had to fly there and it was very cold 99 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: along the way. What in the world is going on 100 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: up there, said Cameron. As he was flying through the 101 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: air with a jetpack, he pulled out his binoculars looked 102 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: up far far ahead. There was some kind of miniature 103 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: tornado in the desert. That is strange. You look I 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: kind of like a windstorm, but it was different. It 105 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: had a little bit of a purple hue to it 106 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: that just I don't know. It looked strange. As he 107 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: flew closer, he landed down by a big pile of 108 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: rocks and hid behind them to observe from a distance. 109 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: That is when he saw them. 110 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 6: All right, guys, this is looking fantastic. Our test is 111 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 6: running perfectly. I think it's ready to tell the Boss 112 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 6: that we're ready for phase two. 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: Phase two, whispered Cameron to himself. What in the world 114 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: are they controlling that tornado thing? Oh? No, they're not 115 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: going to try and like fill our world with tornadoes, 116 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: are they. I have to figure out what phase two means. 117 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: Cameron started crawling through the sand and the desert to 118 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 2: get closer to where the purple ninjas were so that 119 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: he could hear better. And finally he was close enough, 120 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: he stopped and hid behind some cactuses. 121 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 4: Out. 122 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: Oh those are sharp, said Cameron as he pulled out 123 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: some needles out of the palm of his hand. That's 124 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: the last time that he's ever going to touch one 125 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: of those. 126 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 6: All right, boss, uh are you there? 127 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: Sh yes, purple nines. I of course, I'm on the 128 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: other sides of walkie talkie. You can go on. Tell 129 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: me what is how is this situation going? Is it working? 130 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: Oh? 131 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: Yes, Boss, it's working beautifully. 132 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 6: You see, We've started creating with many little purple tornadoes 133 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 6: just to test it to see if it's working. It 134 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 6: works perfectly, So we're ready for phase two. 135 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: Oh perfect? Uh? What exactly is Phase two? I don't. 136 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: I don't remember talking about the Phase two. 137 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, well Phase two is when we make the 138 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 6: tornadoes bigger and then we start to strategically plant them 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 6: around the world next to spy headquarters and stuff like that. 140 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 6: If you know what I mean. Of course I know 141 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 6: what you mean.
