Kong: The Animated Series

Hey, Jason!

Got a minute, bro?

Check out this little baby.

It is the latest prototype from the laboratories

of Tannenbaum Industries.

Open the lid.

It's a two-way receiver transmitter and a

computer as well.

It can link up with any satellite.

And above all, it...

Uh, isn't that your cell phone, Tan?

Coming!

Coming!

Yo, Eric Tannenbaum speaking.

This is Kong Island Pizza.

We're calling about your overdue account.

Good one, Jace.

Pretty sweet little gizmo, huh?

Yeah.

You want to give it to me?

Uh-uh, dude.

That little baby is all mine.

Tan, Jason!

There's an email from China addressed to both

of you.

Oh, man.

We've been waiting for this.

Dear Mr. Jenkins, following your application, we have

the pleasure to inform you that you have

been selected to participate in the Martial Arts

Championship, which will take place in Xi'an,

China.

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Ha-ha!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How about my application?

Uh, Mr. Tannenbaum, we regret to inform you

that you have not been selected for the

competition.

Uh, Tan, I'm sorry.

Uh, hey, you know, it's no big deal.

Oh, Tan.

I said it's no big deal.

Come on, Tan.

You'll qualify next time.

There won't be a next time, okay?

I'm giving up karate.

Don't be like that, Tan.

Are you sure you will not come with

us, then?

Bro, are you mad at me?

Nah, just, uh, just bring me back the

cup, will ya?

You got it.

Welcome to China.

My name is Wu Chen.

Uh, delighted to meet you.

I welcome the competitors to the karate tournament.

If you would like to follow me, I

will drive you to your hotel.

Not alone!

Did you have a good flight?

Tan, I don't like it when he's like

that.

Like what?

Well, when he looks like that.

It means something funny's going on.

Besides, my toes are starting to itch.

Would you like to tell us why we're

here?

Patience, Mr. Jenkins.

Patience.

Have you ever heard of Qin Shi Huang

Du?

The first emperor of China.

Ah, yes.

You always were my brightest student.

I have at last succeeded in locating his

tomb and his treasure.

More tomb robbing, Ramon?

Money does not interest me.

Wu Chen!

Stop playing about, you fool!

What interests me is a tiny parchment that

was buried with the emperor.

With it in my possession, I would at

last be able to activate one of my

primal stones.

The stone of life and death.

And do what with it?

Become immortal, Mr. Jenkins.

Immortal for all eternity!

Tan, the opening ceremony of the tournament is

about to begin.

Welcome to the International Karate Tournament.

All the competitors are ready to take part.

But where is Jason?

Well, isn't he there?

Only Jason Jenkins seems to have dropped out

of the competition.

Oh no, there's no way Jason would flake

on the tournament.

You're right.

But if they're not at the tournament, where

are they?

Well, I know they were on the flight

that landed in Xi'an.

Something must have happened once they arrived.

Once Jason uses the watch, I'll be able

to locate their position.

And I won't be alone.

The parchment that I am looking for is,

shall we say, difficult to get to.

And life is too short for me to

take any risks in underground passageways.

What about Wu Qian?

He is claustrophobic.

So, when I found that you were coming

to China, I knew that you would be

the perfect choice.

You're losing it, Ramon, if you think I'll

help you.

Oh, but you will.

Unless you want something unfortunate to happen to

a little shopper.

You are a real coward, Ramon.

Perhaps.

But I will be an immortal one.

I've always wondered what merging with Kong would

be like.

Well, now you'll get your answer.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You're sure there's no risks, right?

Kong was created out of the DNA from

the original Kong.

Mixed with Jason's own human DNA.

If Jason can merge with him, you should

be able to.

I should be able to?

I thought that you always wanted to merge

with Kong.

Yeah, yeah, right.

Well, here we go.

Reverse emergency quench and engage!

Tan, are you okay?

Oops, sorry.

I mean, I mean, I think so.

Oh, man.

I don't know how Jason does this.

It feels like I'm going to jump out

of my skin.

Now I know what it's like.

But I sure won't be making a habit

out of this.
