Isn't this romantic?
You and me sharing some tea
while learning about the Teapot Dome Scandal?
-Bring out your beast! -Aah! Ow!
Bernard! [ Gasps ]
Quick! Grab some paper towels!
There's boba! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
It's just that there's this place at the creek
called the Splintery Butt,
where everyone plays Bring out Your Beast!
And I was thinking maybe you can teach me how to play.
Wait, what's Bring Out Your Beast?
It's just some dumb card game
I played when I was a little kid.
You, like, make a deck
of 30 different beast and support cards,
each with their own offensive and defensive abilities,
which you use to battle other players
until you or your opponent are dealt enough damage
to take your life total down to zero.
Or, I don't know, something like that.
I don't remember. Say that again but slower.
I wanna know how to play!
I don't play Bring Out Your Beast anymore.
I've got other things to worry about now,
like end-of-year tests,
summer jobs, the love of my life.
[ Chuckles ] Oh.
So even in a hundred trillion years,
you'll never want to play Bring Out Your Beast ever again?
No, Craig!
Now let me finish my homework.
Bernard's room.
Okay, your turn. Here I go.
I swipe all three of my Bush-Alo beasts to play
Drog-On, which lets me un-swipe my Bush-Alos
so I can re-swipe them to attack the Drog-On's damage bonus!
Take 12 damage to the face!
Hey, what do you want?
Bernard, can I play with you? I'm a little bit bigger now.
You're too dumb to play!
You wouldn't get it... get it...get it...
Aah! What a jerk!
Time to go to the Splintery Butt!
-Oh, yeah! -Whoa!
-Whoa! -Take six damage!
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Kid: Ow, my butt!
So many great minds doing things I do not understand.
Bring Out Your Beast! Forget it, Turner!
You're playing with a starter pack you bought two years ago.
Get some new cards, or leave us alone.
I don't need new cards!
I got heart! We all have hearts.
We're humans. We need them to live.
Now, if you didn't have a heart and were still standing there,
that would be impressive.
Aw, dude, just play her already. She challenged you.
It's the rules.
Fine. Bring Out Your Beast!
[ Children chanting "Bring Out Your Beast!" ]
Bring Out Your Beast!
For my first turn, I play Ick-arus!
The slime snake!
I summon Chillin' Villain!
The most dastardly yeti in the North.
And I attack with his frosted fists!
I activate a slime shield!
Now I attack with a sloppy slap!
Ah! Take 3 damage!
I don't understand what's happenin'.
Do you? No!
-Attack! Attack! -Ohh! Aah!
[ Grunting ]
[ Cheering ]
Better luck next time!
Man, that was awesome!
All right, help me find some beasts for our deck.
Aw, we definitely got to put this guy in.
Kelsey: You guys see the resemblance to Mortimor, right?
JP: Aw, man, look at the muscles on this one.
Ooh, look at the muscles on this one.
Wait, you guys! Look at the muscles on this one!
I want to play with this guy.
Squeakers the Infected!
Huh. You sure?
Yeah, I mean, I got no idea how to play this game,
but that mouse looks kinda weak.
Well, I think he's cute.
Now, we'll just add a few more cards,
a-a-and, we're ready to challenge
somebody to a game I still don't understand!
[ Slurping ]
H-Hey! Cool juice!
Uh, thanks, I guess? Bring Out Your Beast!
Okay.
♪♪
I summon Cannon Cat! The purrocious powerhouse!
I summon Squeakers the Infected!
Dude, that's, like, one of the worst beasts ever printed.
Read the card.
"Squeakers the Infected deals 3 damage to you
at the end of your turn."
Aah! [ Mouse sneezes ]
My Cannon Cat now uses Visceral Volley.
[ Grunts ] That's 5 damage.
Well, then, for my next turn, I play a Bush-Alo!
That thing is useless against a fire beast like mine.
I give my cat a Power Berry Boost and attack for 10 damage.
Ugh! I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just play this.
A Beast Snare. [ Gasps ]
You have a Beast Snare?!
Fine! Take my Cannon Cat!
Huh?
I forfeit! You're not getting any more of my cards!
Man, I can't believe he had a Beast Snare!
-What?! -[ Gasps ] You won!
Was it the Mortimor card?
No. It -- It was this.
Is that really a Beast Snare card?
Apparently. Why?
Read the card, you fool!
The Beast Snare is a relic from the very first edition of BOYB.
The card allows you to literally steal other people's cards,
making anyone that has it impossible to beat.
They had to stop printing them
because it was destroying the game.
And that is one of the last Beast Snares left on Earth.
[ Gasps ]
That card is pure evil!
Okay, I've been in this situation before
with an evil report card.
We just gotta put it in a hole.
We gotta get this card as far from here as possible.
'Kay, this seems far enough.
It's time to put this card to rest
in this emergency birthday card...
[ Music plays ] ...that I have in case
I forget someone's birthday.
[ Grunts ] Ohh!
In the name of the Creek Goddess
Hoppy-Froggy-Turbo-Run,
now it's extra protected.
Thanks for everything, Turner.
Huh.
♪ They wash his face of dirt and leaves...Little Butler ♪
♪ "You people have too much money!" ♪
Craig! Nuh-unh!
Did you Bring Out My Beasts?!
Nuh-unh! Yuh-huh!
I keep everything in my room in a very specific place.
I know when anything is moved,
especially when a binder is laying
in the middle of the floor with a note on it that says,
"I came to life and had an adventure.
Love, Your Cards."
Well, who's to say?
And my Beast Snare is missing!
You said you didn't care about them anymore.
I don't care about the game!
The cards are worth serious money!
They were supposed to pay for my college tuition!
Or a small down payment for a used car.
Where's that card, Craig?!
[ Both grunting ]
[ Music plays ]
It's not here!
[ Children screaming ] Huh?
That's coming from the Butt!
[ Children groaning ]
JP and Kelsey: Craig!
That Turner kid has the Beast Snare!
She's been challenging people to battle her
and stealing all their beasts!
We even tried to challenge her with our custom-made decks.
I used my Death Falcon Winged Destroyer.
And I tried to fight her with my Uncle Al
and this old piece of Mahjong.
She's unstoppable.
Come on, Mark. You can beat her. You're the last card fighter!
All right. I play my Ick-Arus!
Turner: I play Beast Snare!
Nooo!
[ Chuckles ]
Looks like I'm invincible!
Now, who should I challenge next? [ Laughs evilly ]
Craig! That card is my future.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen.
I just -- I just wanted to finally play the game like you!
Wait, what? I always thought it was cool
how you outsmarted everybody with just the right move.
I just wanted to be like you,
but instead, I'm the one who got outsmarted.
But I'm gonna fix this.
[ Children murmuring ]
Give me back that Beast Snare!
It doesn't belong to you!
Ha! There's only one way you're getting it back.
[ Gulp! ]
Bring Out Your Beast!
And what are you gonna play with?
Uh...
♪♪
If we're gonna do this, let's do this the right way.
With matching jackets?
No, dummy. Together.
Whatever. With my Snare, I'm unbeatable.
Bring it! -Move!
They're fighting for the fate of the Butt!
We can win this thing if we can deal enough damage
before she can play that Beast Snare.
A Bush-Alo. Play it with a Booster Berry and attack.
2 damage.
I can take it.
Thatchlings. Play your Giant.
-I Thornbolt it! -Let her roll.
Ha! Attack again with
the Boosted Bush-Alo.
I re-grow the Thornbolt!
-Now you roll. -I roll and play this!
Craig, what are you doing?! Playing a deflection card?
Won't that save our Bush-Alo?
Yeah. Ha!
And damage her with her own Thornbolt!
You're really catching on, little bro.
Thanks.
Hey, I got a text from my boyfriend
saying he was digging up some college money at the Creek?
They're beast battling for the fate of the Creek!
And they're winning! They're actually winning!
They've already won. They're brothers again.
You blockhead! That's not how you win!
And besides, as soon as she draws that Beast Snare,
they're done for.
A few more points of damage, and we win.
I activate Beast Snare!
[ Both gasp ]
-[ Gasps ] -What?
Yoink! Watch it, Craig.
Uh, I play Drog-on! Snare it!
I play this Falcano Bird! Snare it!
She's stealing their beasts before they can do any damage!
There has to be a way. It's okay.
It's -- It's over.
This is all my fault anyway.
I should have played with you earlier.
You're actually pretty smart, man.
This game -- It's just about reading the cards.
I got it!
Squeakers the Infected!
Oh, it's that little mousey card!
Ha! Should have listened to your brother.
You can play any beast you want.
I'm just gonna snare it! In the stack it goes!
-Wait. -Hmm?
Read the card.
"At the end of the turn,
Squeakers deals three damage," to me?!
[ Gasps ] She doesn't have the life left!
Ohh. Felt nice while it lasted.
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Cheering ]
Here's your card back, Bernard.
I'm so sorry I took it. I just --
No. Keep it.
You can keep all of them.
There will be a day when I come for them,
probably when my first tuition check is due,
but until then, they're yours to battle with.
Just so long as you use protective sleeves.
Th-Thanks, Bernard.
That was cool! I can't believe you guys won!
You must have been a pretty good player when you were a kid.
[ Chuckles ] No.
I was the best!
