Treasure Planet

On the clearest of nights

when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful

the great merchant ships

with their cargoes of Arcturian sura crystals

felt safe and secure

Little did they suspect that they were pursued by

pirates

And the most feared of all these pirates

was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint

Fire!

Aah!

Like a Candarian zap-wing overtaking its prey--

James Pleiades Hawkins

l thought you were asleep an hour ago.

l thought you were asleep an hour ago.

Mom, I was just getting to the best part.

Please?

Oh, can those eyes get any bigger?

Scootch over.

like a Candarian zap-wing

ovetaking its prey

Flint and his band of renegades

swooped in out of nowhere

Ha ha ha ha!

And then. gathering up their spoils

vanished without a trace

-Ooh! -Ooh!

Flint's secret trove was never found

but stories have persisted that it remains hidden

somewhere at the farthest reaches of the galaxy

stowed with riches beyond imagination--

the loot of a thousand worlds

Treasure Planet

OK. Blow your nose.

How do you think Captain Flint did it, Mom?

How'd he swoop in out of nowhere and vanished without a trace?

l have no idea.

Come here, you, you li--

l'm gonna get--oh!

OK, now it's time for this little spacer to go to sleep.

You think somebody'll ever find Treasure Planet?

Sweetheart, I think it's more...

like a legend.

I know it's real.

You win. It's real.

-Nighty-night, Mom. -Nighty-night, sweetheart.

I love you.

Love you, too.

There are nights when the winds of the Etherium

so inviting in their promise of flight and freedom

made one's spirit soar!

Yaaaa-hoo!

Whoo!

Come on!

Whoo! Ha ha ha!

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, great.

Mrs Hawkins!

I know-- refill on the purp juice.

Coming right up, Mrs. Dunwiddie.

There we go. That's four powdered spheroids...

two lunar eclipses, and it's a big bowl...

of Zorellian jelly worms for the big boy!

-Awesome! -Enjoy.

Sorry, Delbert. It's been a madhouse here all morning.

No problem, Sarah.

Ah! My Alponian chowder with the extra solara seed.

Mmm! Yum!

Hello.

What brings you here

curious little one?

Go away.

Are your parents around?

What's the matter? Cat got your--yaah!

Oh, they're so adorable at that age.

Oh, yes...deplorable.

Uh...adorable! Hmm.

Speaking of which, how's Jim doing?

Much better. I know he had some rough spots...

earlier this year, but I really think...

that he's starting to turn a corner.

Mrs. Hawkins?

Jim!

Ooh...wrong turn.

OK. Thanks for the lift, guys.

Not so fast.

We apprehended your son operating...

a solar vehicle in a restricted area.

Moving violation 9-0-4...

section fifteen, paragraph, um...

Six?

-Thank you. -Don't mention it.

-Jim! -As you are aware, ma'am...

this constitutes a violation of his probation.

Yes, yes. No, I understand. Um, but could we just--

Um. ahem. pardon me

Officers, if I might, uh, interject here.

I am the noted astrophysicist Dr. Delbert Doppler.

Perhaps you've heard of me.

No? Uh, I have a clipping.

-Are you the boy's father? -Oh! Good heavens, no!

Eww! He's just an old friend of the family.

Back off, sir!

Thank you, Delbert. I will take it from here.

Well, Sarah, if you insist.

Ahem. Don't ever let me do that again.

Due to repeated violations of statute 1 5-C...

we have impounded his vehicle. Any more slip-ups will result...

in a one-way ticket to Juvenile Hall.

-Kiddie hoosegow. -The slammo.

Thank you, officers. It won't happen again.

We see his type all the time, ma'am.

-Wrong choices. -Dead-enders.

Losers

-You take care now. -Let's motor.

Jim, I have had it.

Do you want to go to Juvenile Hall? ls that it?

Jim?

Jim, look at me.

It's been hard enough keeping this place...

afloat by myself without you going--

Mom, it's no big deal. There was nobody around.

Those cops just won't get off my--

Forget it.

Mrs Hawkins! My juice!

Yes, l'll be right there, Mrs. Dunwiddie.

Jim, I just don't want to see you...

throw away your entire future.

Yeah, what future?

really don't know how you manage it. Sarah

Trying to run a business while raising a felon like--

felon...fellow... fellow like Jim.

Managing it? I'm at the end of my rope.

Ever since his father left

well. Jim's just never recovered

And you know how smart he is

He built his first solar surfer when he was eight!

And yet. he's failing at school

he is constantly in trouble

and when talk to him. he's like a stranger to me

don't know. Delbet 've tried everything--

Hey, Mister?

Mister, you're OK in there, right?

Aah!

He's a-comin'.

Can you hear him?

Those gears and gyros clickin' and whirrin'...

like the devil himself!

Uh, hit your head there pretty hard, didn't ya?

He's after me chest...

that fiendish cyborg and his band of cutthroats.

But they'll have to pry it...

from old Billy Bones' cold, dead fingers afore l--argh!

Oh, my--

Uh, come on, give me your arm.

That's it.

-Good lad. -Mom's gonna love this.

Thanks for listening, Delbert.

It helps.

It's going to be OK.

You'll see.

I keep dreaming one day I'll open that door...

and there he'll be just the way he was.

A smiling, happy little boy, holding a new pet...

and begging me to let him keep it.

James Pleiades Hawkins!

Mom, he's hurt...bad!

Me chest, lad.

He'll be comin' soon

Can't let them find this.

Who's coming?

The cyborg!

Beware the cyborg!

Ohh!

Quick! We gotta go!

-Ohh! -Aah!

I believe I'm with Jim on this one!

Delilah! Hallelujah!

Stay! Don't move!

Where is it?!

Find it!

Don't worry. Sarah

I'm an expert in the laws of physical science.

-On the count of three--one... -Three!

-Aah! -Aah!

Go, Delilah! Go!

Go! That's it! That's it! Go!

Hyah! Hyah!

just spoke with the constabulary

Those blaggard pirates have fled without a trace

I'm sorry, Sarah.

I'm afraid the old Benbow Inn has burned to the ground.

Ahem. Well, certainly a lot of trouble...

over that odd little sphere.

Those markings baffle me

Unlike anything 've ever encountered

Even with my vast experience

and superior intellect

it would take me years to unlock its--hey!

Why, it's a map!
