I got a great experiment idea!
You make my feet wheels.
I won't have to walk anymore,
I won't be late to events, and…
Oh, no. Tell me that's not…
[all] Wizard Lad and the Ruby of Zubadube!
It just came out, and we can't put it down!
Ugh. Every time a new book comes out,
you guys ignore me for a week.
Oh, come on. Just give Wizard Lad a chance, Johnny.
It's an amazing tale of magic and mystery…
[both] And it's only 400 pages.
OK, I just threw up a little.
And why waste time reading when you could give me wheel feet?
Reading is not a waste of time, Johnny.
It heightens brain activity…
And puts the reader in the lead character's shoes
by firing neurons during exciting passages.
And why don't you like these books of wonder and magic?
I'll tell you why.
Once upon a time, there was a wizard with a magic wand,
but it still took him 400 pages to stop a bad dude,
even though he had a magic wand!
Give me a magic wand, and the book's done in ten pages, tops.
We've downloaded the newest Wizard Lad adventure
into this virtual reality sphere.
Which will take you inside the book, where you will become the Wizard Lad.
And I get a wand.
Um, are you sure this is safe?
Well, in the last book,
Wizard Lad exiled his evil nemesis, Moldywart,
to the Bowels of Zandar…
And his best friend, Fofo, will be there to protect him, so, yeah.
And I'll have a magic wand.
-[powering up] -So, where am I going?
To a cursed castle or a dragon's lair?
No. The new book takes place in school.
School?! Wait. No. No! I changed my mind! I don't want to go.
[bell tolls]
OK, so I got the wand. And ooh, I like the cool cape.
Check that. I hate the stupid cape!
Probably deserved that, and sorry!
Hmm. What's the first thing I should do with you?
Wheel feet!
A-nice!
-[boy] Wizard Lad! -[cheering]
Wizard Lad! Wizard Lad!
Wizard Lad! You're back!
And somebody's learned a wheel feet spell while he was gone.
Yep. And which one of you is Fofo?
[laughter]
Classic Wizard Lad.
And where have you been?
Studying for the biggest test of the year, I'm sure.
Studying? We have magic wands.
We'll just magically change our grades after the test.
[cheering]
And now, all capes, be free!
So, where are the teachers?
I can make them disappear too.
They're all gathered to discuss the evil Moldywart…
Who has escaped the Bowels of Zandar
and is now out for revenge.
And who does he want revenge on?
Well, since it was your magic that sent him to Zandar,
I'd say… you.
-Come again? -[thunder]
[screaming]
[cackles]
Moldywart!
Wizard Lad!
After what you did to me, I cannot wait to get my revenge.
[thunder]
Yeah, I have no idea what I did to you, cos I didn't read the book.
But I do have a magic wand and wheels for feet.
So… I think I'm gonna have some more fun now.
Uh…
First, I'm going to destroy you, then find the Ruby of Zubadube
so I can destroy this entire school!
Then, if there's time, I'll resurrect you so I can destroy you again.
Dude! You're still mad about something that happened 30 years ago?
You're magic. Move on.
Like I'm moving on from this conversation,
cos Johnny wonders what other cool stuff I can do with this wand.
You can battle me in the never-ending woods
and meet your doom!
This might be bad.
[students gasp]
[screams]
[alarms blare]
Um, what's going on?
Johnny just had an explosive spike in brain activity.
Uh-huh, which means?
Well, if his brain doesn't calm down to regular levels…
It could… explode.
Get him out!
[Susan] No!
An instant drop from his heightened state could be just as damaging.
OK, but it's Johnny. He can solve anything.
Where is he in the book?
Well, we only read up to where Wizard Lad returns to Dumbledumb…
And then…
[both] Moldywart comes back?
Johnny will have no chance against his dark magic.
What do we do?
Uh, doggie no like this.
[screams]
OK, falling, about to crash in dark forest and…
Oh, wait!
Oh, if only magic wands were real.
Fofo!
Oh, so you're Fofo.
-Fofo! -Yeah, you said that.
Now, how do I get out of here?
Fofo!
Uh-huh, yeah. Now, what do I do?!
You can start by calming down.
Dukey!
You're a weird dragon dog!
Heh heh, cool, right?
No. And Wizard Lad seems like a wild story
that I'll still never read, and I wanna go home now!
So calm down.
You need to slow your brain activity so Susan and Mary can extract you safely.
Now, deep breaths, deep breaths…
[breathes deeply]
Good, just a few more, and…
-[screams] -[thud]
OK, we'll just start again.
Ow!
You will not defeat me again, Wizard Lad.
[thunder]
Uh-huh, yeah. Magic-wand fight!
Oooh… bow-woo!
A charging-bull spell?
That's Magic 101.
Get ready for the advanced course.
Whoa, that was really weird.
You do know you can only use a disappear spell once, right?
I didn't know that, cos I don't like these books!
And now I hate them.
Like I was saying, breathe deep!
If you calm down, we can get you out!
OK, well, maybe if you can fly straight, I could calm down!
Well, I've never had wings before!
[pants]
[Susan] Yes! His brain waves are lowering.
Quick, let's get them out!
[alarm blares]
Now what happened?
You are a terrible dragon!
Well, if you would just read, we wouldn't be in this book
and I wouldn't have to be a dragon!
Johnny, it's Wolfsmouth Cave!
What? No way!
Why do I care?
Because it watches over the Ruby of Zubadube.
OK, that's cool.
And the wizard that possesses it gains any power he wishes.
Like getting us out of this book!
[thunder]
Whoa. Didn't see that comin'.
I'll get the ruby, Johnny!
Nope.
And now it's your turn, Wizard Lad,
to be exiled to the Bowels of Zandar, as you exiled me.
[cackles]
Again, not sure how I did that, but I was probably pretty awesome, so…
You couldn't defeat me without the Ruby of Zubadube.
What chance do you have now?
Well, um, because I have, uh…
the Stone of Fortitude!
Yeah… there's no Stone of Fortitude. That's just a rock.
I mean, the Slab of Sorcery!
That's just tree bark and has absolutely no powers.
Yes, it does.
[yells] My wart!
Fire, dragon-dog!
Stink at flying. Great with fire. [chuckles]
You may have ruined my wand, but I still have the ruby!
And for that,
I will exile both of--
[wails] Get them off of me! Off!
Help! Help!
Uh, what's with the capes?
I freed them earlier, and I think they're returning the favor.
Ooh!
[cheering]
Wizard Lad, you stopped Moldywart once again.
And found the Ruby of Zubadube.
Which means Moldywart will not be destroying me or Dumbledumb
for a long time.
You may have defeated me this time, Wizard Lad,
and two times before that…
but I will destroy you!
Dude, what is your beef with Wizard Lad?
I mean, me?
Your parents mocked my moldy wart when I was a kid at this school,
but I vowed to return and make them pay.
You know you had a magic wand, right?
My wart! It's gone!
Now, why didn't I think of that?
OK, I think things at Dumbledumb are looking up.
And your brain is finally calming down.
Yes! He's out of the book!
And his brain didn't explode.
So, what do you think about Wizard Lad now?
OK, fine, I admit it. Wizard Lad is pretty cool.
[both] So you're going to read them now?
What? No. Never!
But, just curious,
how did Wizard Lad crush Moldywart and exile him to the Bowels of Zandar?
[both] It's right there in the fourth book.
Stop looking at me.
