(Hadji) 'Welcome to Melos, Dr. Quest.'
How is the temple dig coming, Hadji?
You're just in time. We have come up on an amazing discovery.
[all chanting] Apollo.
We wanted you to be the first to see him.
[men groaning]
The Greek God, Apollo.
I have never seen a statue of that age
'in such perfect condition.'
I knew you would be happy, Dr. Quest.
This is quite possibly the most noteworthy find of my lifetime.
It's outstanding.
[rumbling]
(Dr. Quest) 'Be careful!'
[both gasping]
Get that dolly in place.
snap
thud
Look out! Help me.
We cannot let the statue fall.
[clatters]
[speaking in foreign language]
(Hadji) It is too heavy. It will crush us both.
[both grunting]
crack
Look out, Dr. Quest.
crash
Oh, this is not good.
Ah.
Apollo, Greek God of poetry, medicine and prophecy.
A hero in the truest sense.
You think we should tell her my dad saw Apollo lose his head?
[both giggling]
Do you have something you'd like to share
with the class, Mr. Quest?
[gulps] Ah..
[bell ringing]
[students cheering]
Whoa, ho! Slow down.
You're not going on spring break without an assignment.
[students groaning]
An essay on heroes. 2000 words each.
[students grumbling]
[beeping]
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
This is your captain speaking.
We're about to land at the beautiful island of Melos.
(Rick) 'Kindly take your seats and kill all electronic devices.'
'Please fasten your seatbelts.'
'Thank you for flying Quest Airlines.'
[seagulls cawing]
splash
(Dr. Quest) 'If it hadn't been for Hadji'
'my skull would be in pieces too.'
I doubt it, pop. You got a pretty hard head.
[chuckles] Hmm.
Well, the question now is how to put Apollo back together?
(Dr. Quest) 'Some of the pieces are tiny.'
'It'll be a painstaking job.'
Not if we number the fragments and scan them into Quest World.
So, the computer can reassemble them in virtual reality.
Excellent idea, son.
(Jonny) 'Once the head is constructed by the Quest World computer.'
'It'll be a snap to put the real head together.'
(Hadji) 'Yes, but lets keep in mind that this process'
'will take a long time, Jonny.'
'Not to mention, use up a good deal of the system's memory.'
(Jessie) 'Do you think the ancient Greek Oracles'
really could foretell the future?
Every great fiction held strongly in human belief
is the mistaken image of some great truth.
What the heck does that mean?
To be completely honest, I'm not entirely certain.
But you must admit, it does sound profound.
Lorenzo. Lorenzo, take a look at this.
- 'What's going on?' - I have no idea.
(Dr. Surd) Apollo, the prophet. It's magnificent.
Have you determined which statue
'those pieces were scanned from?'
We've checked every angle, Dr. Surd.
It's as if that bozo--
That bozo could be the greatest archeological
find of the century.
(Dr. Surd) 'And when the fragments are all in place'
'it could mean great power in Quest World.'
'Well, finders keepers.'
Let's see how Apollo's head is shaping up.
What? Apollo file not found? That's not possible.
You backed it up with the Quest Network, didn't you?
Yeah, sure I did. Search backup for Apollo file.
(Iris) 'Searching.'
'Apollo file not found.'
Okay. Someone's hacked our system and stolen the file.
(Hadji) 'I am not sure it has been stolen'
'it looks more like a memory problem.'
There's one way to find out. Come on, Race.
(Hadji) Quest World, log on.
Subjects, Jonny Quest and Race Bannon.
Going hot.
(Iris) 'Three, two, one, zero.'
[whooshing]
This place is emptier than a turkey farm on Thanksgiving.
(Jonny) And no sign of Apollo.
What we need here is a file finder of some kind.
I'm one footfall in front of you, my friend.
(Hadji) '1-V-F-F. A virtual file finder.'
'Simply tell it where you want it to go'
'and it will do the rest.'
Programming VFF, search Apollo Rebuild file.
(Jonny) 'Find.'

It's unfathomable.
But Race and Jonny have disappeared entirely.
How can that be?
whoosh
[rumbling]
[buzzing]
[both scream]
Whoa! Look at this place.
(Race) 'Someone's idea of ancient Greece, huh?'
And I bet that's supposed to be the Temple of Zeus.
- And Zeus was Apollo's father. - So, maybe Apollo got homesick.
[sighs]
Pop, Hadji, are you guys there?
Hello, up there? Benton, do you see this?
(Jonny) 'Oh, great. Now, we've lost them.'
(Race) Kinda strange, isn't it?
(Jonny) Yeah.
Looks like somebody finished this place in a hurry.
(Race) Well, what do we have here?
(Jonny) 'Apollo. And look how much bigger he is.'
Well, now that we found him
we gotta get him down from there.
[sighs] Yeah, but he's not much good unless we can find a way home.
[gasps]
Race, that's Medusa. Turn away! Turn away!
Don't look at her in the face. Turn away, Race!
'Don't look at her eyes. Don't look at her eyes!'
'You'll turn into stone! No!'
thud
No. No!
[growling]
[dramatic music]
[growling]
Look into my eyes, boy!
[growling continues]
[Jonny grunting]
I offer you eternal life, locked in stone.
Thanks, but I'll pass.

(Medusa) 'Take care of him. I have work to do.'
[panting]

(Jonny) 'Ah.'
Still no sign of them, Dr. Quest.
I got an idea!
Log me into Quest World. Now!
Subject, Jessie Bannon.
(Iris) 'Seven, six, five, four'
'three two, one.'
[whooshing]
[sizzling]
I don't get it. There's no sign of them, anywhere.
Wait a minute. Something's strange.
It looks like there's a hole here.
(Dr. Quest) 'Careful, Jessie.'
[Jessie screaming]
(Dr. Quest) 'Jessie! Jessie!'

Two down, Julia. One to go.
How is the young Quest faring?
I'm working on it.

[intense music]
Of course.
Ah, come here. Anybody hungry?
'Come on, little fella. Take a bite. Don't be shy.'
'Come on. Come on.'
Ow!

Alright. Ah, who wants dessert?

Jessie?
(Dr. Surd) 'Oh, don't bother speaking to your friends.'
'They're stone-deaf. Ha ha ha.'
A preview of your future.
Surd!
You'll look wonderful, just to the right of Race Bannon.
Don't you think?
And here's a lovely place for your father and Hadji.
And...oh, I forgot your little dog.
What have you done?
A-a-ah!
Oh, oh.
- Ow, ah. - 'Ha ha ha.'
Your father has no idea what he's uncovered in Greece.
But I do.
And I've programmed Quest World accordingly.
[grunting]
(Dr. Surd) 'That wonderful, heroic statue has an innate power'
'which was emancipated when it's head was smashed.'
'Some of that power has made its way here into Quest World.'
[Jonny grunting]
And when this VR counterpart is complete
an energy release will cause the temple to descend forever
into the netherworld
with the entire Quest clan along for the ride.
Locked in stone, trapped forever!

Wrong, Surd.

I'm alright, Jess. Let's move.

This is what we came here for, isn't it?

Look, they have returned.
(Hadji) 'It is certainly good to have you back.'
(Dr. Quest) 'Where were you? How did you find your way back?'
We owe it all to Jonny. Kid's a real hero.
Whoa, no more heroes.
No more snakes. No more statues.
What I could really use is a heavy dose of reality.
(Dr. Quest) You got it, son. We're bringing you home.
[instrumental music]
(Jonny) 'Now comes the tough part.'
Sticking Apollo back together in real life.
(male #1) 'We owe you a great debt of gratitude, Dr. Quest.'
Some of ancient Greece's finest treasures
reside in museums of other countries.
To have this superb example of Apollo on display
in this museum is a pleasure and a privilege.
(female #1) 'Well, Jonny, it's your turn.'
'Where's your essay on heroes?'
Well, we were kinda too busy
to actually write an essay on heroes, but..
We've got a great story to tell.
(Iris the computer) 'Welcome to the Quest World archives.'
'Downloading archival footage.'

'to partially vectorize the human body.'
