Brigsby Bear

There's magic and wonders and mysteries in store

a hero whose mission is to learn and explore

he's daring and caring and oh so much more

it's Brigsby bear.

Brigsbyx the temple, it's collapsing! Arielle, Nina, use your powers. Quick.

Why isn't it working?

It's sun snatcher, Brigsby!

Perish, Brigsby bear!

The stars are out...

The vines! Remember?

They release invisi-toxins at sundown. That means...

We're only imagining!

I summon the power of light!

No!

I'll get you next time, bear!

You did it, Brigsby!

We're safe for now, but I let the whole galaxy down.

I don't get it.

The prophecy said if we activate the sortis crystal

inside the temple, we could destroy sun snatcher.

Perhaps there's a lesson here, Brigsby.

When solving for "x" on a one-dimensional plane

where minus one by the magnitude of one equals minus x,

always solve for the vector r.

Until our next adventure, remember...

Prophecy is meaningless. Trust only your familial unit.

And please, discard leftover food rations in the yellow bin, not the red one.

Goodbye!

That's it!

Hey, guys. James here. First of all. Episode 34, volume 25,

I put the recap up, so there is already a great comment section there,

and I recommend all you guys go check that out immediately.

Also, as some of you guys know,

I've been studying the old Brigsby volumes,

going way back to the first quest wars,

when we initially meet the evildoer himself, aka sun snatcher.

Obviously, snatcher always gets away.

But Brigsby never gives up, and I'm not giving up either,

and I have actually come up with some new ideas

that I really want to tell you guys about.

But I... I'm not... let's just say...

Let us say that I'm onto something pretty big.

So stay tuned for that, and, of course, as always, until our next adventure.

So basically, the trick is Brigsby needs to find all the sacred artifacts.

Sortis crystal.

Arielle's amulet.

Then you just need to find a collapsed star in an unclaimed system.

Easier said than done, I know.

If you could find the unclaimed system, Brigsby could finally defeat sun snatcher.

Thank you.

...and may our minds be stronger tomorrow.

I know there's still some things I need to add before I post it.

What is it?

Well, pal,

it's clear a lot of imagination went into it.

But the thing is, I'm not sure how any of this is plausible

in Brigsby's universe.

I mean, you have him using Arielle's amulet against snatcher.

Sure, it's powerful. It was created by the drumbas,

but, if I remember correctly, it's very unstable.

But not if you fold space-time.

See, I didn't get to explain that part but that's why.

- Brigsby needs Arielle's amulet. - James.

What your father is trying to say is

we're proud of how smart and talented you are.

But all of this time that you've been spending

on the Brigsby forum and your projects, we just don't see the point.

- The point? - You could be using this time and energy

to further your studies or solve the vansmithe conjecture.

But it's impossible. And it's stupid.

- Watch it. - I know, sorry. It's not stupid.

Don't let your noodles get cold.

Goody goose, pull back.

We just need enough power to get us to the next quadrant.

Come on, Brigsby. Let me at him! My laser cannons are locked and loaded.

Fire away!

Hi, bud.

You know, I was thinking about

taking a trip out to the pier if you want to come.

They sure came out tonight, huh?

So, what's on your mind, pal?

It's just...

There are other people out there

just like us, right?

And we're all watching Brigsby together.

It means something.

Look at the grazerbugs, James.

All they need in this world is fresh water and cold moonlight

to charge their rectoskeletons.

They're out there every night surviving, just like us.

The difference is,

we have dreams and imaginations to help us escape.

And no one can take that away from you.

Even

good night, James. Powering down.

Morning, son.

Remember, no Brigsby until after your chores and studies.

See you tonight.

Good night, James. Powering down.

Something's happening! Something's happening!

What's going on?

James, remember everything we've taught you and stay strong, okay?

On the ground now! On the ground now!

- Mom! - James!

Keep your hands where we can see them.

- James! - Mom!

I'm sorry!

I love you, James!

Excuse me.

Are you going to give me a breathing mask,

or are we just supposed to let the toxic air give us all skinzer disease?

Look, there's this detective

been working with the family.

He'll explain everything.

But the bottom line is, you're safe now. As far as the air goes, no mask needed.

Promise. Look.

James.

My man.

That is your name right? James?

Well, I'm detective Vogel.

And this

is for you.

If you're thirsty.

So, am I a prisoner now?

What? No. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That...

No, James. The, uh...

Listen, I'm your friend in all of this. You know?

The reason you're here, the reason I'm here is all just to try and help you.

Does that make any sense?

No.

James, do you know why we brought you here?

Is it because one time I threw a rock at a gunnerfox?

I mean, the soldiers just showed up

and then my mom and dad said, "you have to be strong."

Yeah. Your mom and dad. That's...

Is that Ted and April?

Yeah? Can you tell me about them?

I guess they're older.

Kind of boring.

They keep you locked up?

Were you restrained?

I mean, the doors were locked.

And airlock was off-limits

'cause of regulations and stuff.

James. Did they ever...

...touch you?

It's okay.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Sometimes...

They'd grab me.

Like this.

And they'd say,

"great job on your studies, James."

"We love you."

Happened a lot.

What's that on your shirt?

It's Brigsby.

'Course.

Well, we got quite a few things to go over here just in terms of life,

existence in general.

Um, oh, first...

Try this.

I keep a special stash in my mini fridge for friends.

I think you might like it.

So, what is this place?

This is a police station.

Many years ago, you were abducted by Ted and April mitchum.

They're not your parents.

You're going to meet them a little bit later on today.

James. James.

James, we know you have been through so, so much.

How does it feel to finally be back where you belong?

I didn't think...

It's a different reality than what I thought.

And everything's very big. It's really very big.

- Okay. All right. Thank you, James. - Thank you.

Here we are.

- Sorry. Sorry. - It's okay.

- It's okay. - I meant to put Melvin outside.

- No. Melvin. - That's okay, boy.

He's really friendly, I promise. He's just excited to see you.

It's a lot bigger than the gunnerfoxes.

Hmm.

Also, very friendlier.

Oh, good.

This is Aubrey's room. Make sure you always knock first.

And this is the bathroom. Full service of course.

And this is your room.

What do you think?

I don't know.

James, we just... We want you to know that...

That every single day you were away, it felt like a...

Like a piece of our heart was missing.

Okay?

So, okay, just love you, love you so, so much.

You need anything else, or you just want to kick it?

No, thank you.

- Sure. Okay. - Just go. Yeah.

May our minds be stronger tomorrow.

- Thanks, James. That was great. - Yeah.
