00:00Look out! Let's move! Fire!
00:10Hey, are you still in one piece?
00:20Yeah, thanks.
00:22Wow, this Mycenum traffic is really something.
00:26Worse on days when the Gladiators perform in the amphitheater.
00:29Gladiators? Here?
00:31Not my idea of fun.
00:33But if you're interested, tomorrow's games in Pompeii celebrating the birthday of Emperor Augustus will be spectacular.
00:39Oh, um, forgive me. My name is Gaius.
00:43I'm Fire.
00:44Paul.
00:45Kiko.
00:46Nevin.
00:47I hope you don't mind. Your names are so interesting.
00:50Around here, for boys at least, you're either Gaius, Marcus, Titus, or Lucius.
00:56And that's about it.
00:58I'm on my way to the forum marketplace. Care to join me?
01:04Hey, we're not here to sightsee and buy straw donkeys. We're here on business.
01:10Hey, Gaius, we'll catch up with you later. There's an old friend we have to meet.
01:15Okay, we can do the straw donkey thing later if we got time, though I'm not promising.
01:20Right, now, the prof's AWOL with an ETA of 15 minutes.
01:26So we're gonna be PDQ.
01:30The Temple of Jupiter, king of the gods of ancient Rome.
01:40We better keep out of sight.
01:46Ah, my beautiful viruses have made it to ancient Mycenaeum.
01:54The time leap is complete. My genius has triumphed.
02:00Time now to execute your subroutines and capture my dear friend, Professor Krupnik, who is walking into my trap.
02:09The professor will arrive at the Temple of Jupiter in five minutes.
02:13He'll be looking for me, but he won't expect to meet you.
02:20Affirmative, master.
02:22Surprise him. Take him to my cyber prison and lock him away.
02:27That way, he'll no longer be able to interfere with the plans of the hackers.
02:35So, the professor should turn up in three seconds.
02:38Two, one.
02:43I can't believe it. I've done it.
02:46Professor, have a seat.
02:50Ah, isn't this incredible?
02:52Oh, and you've brought the kids as well.
02:55But it went wrong, didn't it?
02:58I'm not sure I'd say wrong.
03:00But it went wrong, didn't it?
03:02I'm not sure I'd say wrong.
03:04More kind of amiss, astray, slightly erroneous.
03:08Yep, it went wrong.
03:10Professor, what's happening?
03:12Ah, kids, do something.
03:18Those green guys must be working for the hacker.
03:20And we've got more trouble coming in three seconds.
03:23Starting three seconds ago.
03:26Oh, strangers in our temple.
03:29You will be severely punished.
03:34Be at peace, my servant.
03:36They are here at my request.
03:39Let them go in peace.
03:43Yes, of course.
03:45Mighty Jupiter, of course.
03:48Hey, At, that was amazing.
03:51Just call me King of the Gods.
03:54Kiko's idea, really.
03:56Wow, for a little kid, you did okay.
03:59For anyone, you did great.
04:01Hey, but King of the Gods here made it happen.
04:04But we've still lost the professor.
04:07Let me scan for him.
04:09Well, what about your time travel program, At?
04:12Absolutely clean.
04:14Well, what about your time travel program, At?
04:16Absolutely clean.
04:18No viral infection at all.
04:20I keep thinking about Apple Crumble.
04:22But hang on.
04:23I'm getting something non-dessert based.
04:25Could be the professor.
04:27But no.
04:28Wait.
04:29It's those green guys.
04:31Follow that line.
04:34Ah!
04:42Excellent.
04:44Krupnik is in my cyber prison.
04:46And he won't be leaving in a hurry.
04:49I hadn't planned on him bringing a few dumb school kids.
04:52But that won't deter the master of time.
04:57Now, time for your transformation.
05:04You know what you must do.
05:14Hey, look.
05:15There's Gaius.
05:21Ah!
05:22What the?
05:24Help!
05:25Help!
05:26I've been robbed!
05:27Help!
05:28Hey, it's the guy with the hood.
05:31There's the thief.
05:32Here.
05:33What are you doing?
05:34I...
05:36Young man, you're under arrest.
05:39But I did nothing.
05:40Liar.
05:41The necklace was in your satchel.
05:43And look.
05:44You broke the clasp when you ripped it from my neck.
05:49Wait a minute.
05:51He did nothing of the kind.
05:53It was a setup.
05:54Here.
05:55This one is the real thief.
05:58Who are you, my fiery accuser?
06:01A citizen of Rome, perchance?
06:03Of course not.
06:04I'm from Germany.
06:06Then a spy?
06:08I'm sure of it.
06:10Yes.
06:11Ow!
06:13All right, then.
06:14You'll be coming with me as well.
06:16Hey, you.
06:17Leave her alone.
06:21Impeding a member of the Praetorian God
06:24in the fulfillment of his duty.
06:27Looks like we have another one for the Emperor's games.
06:32No.
06:33Huh?
06:43Get this to my uncle.
06:44He'll help.
06:45Whoa.
06:46Wait.
06:49Come back.
06:50Hey, we've got other plans.
06:52What about the professor?
06:54The hacker's agents?
06:56Kiko, you and Atko have a look.
06:58I don't want to lose Nevin in fire.
07:05There, gotcha.
07:08Don't worry, friends.
07:10This isn't some primitive backwater in Gaul or Germania.
07:15Only kidding.
07:16Seriously, though.
07:17Roman citizens are guaranteed the right
07:19to plead their case before a magistrate.
07:21And once we explain what happened...
07:24Is this where the magistrate holds court?
07:38Stop!
07:39Wait!
07:41Come back!
07:44You can always see your friends tomorrow in Pompeii.
07:48What do you mean?
07:50That's where the Centurion said he was taking them,
07:54along with all the other criminals,
07:57so they can fight as gladiators in the Emperor's birthday games.
08:03Oh, my.
08:09So, by the time I got to the signal's location,
08:11no professor, nothing.
08:15But Kid said she'd seen two magicians appear out of nowhere.
08:19One was an aristocrat, and the other was a Centurion,
08:22just like the guy who arrested our friends.
08:24So, two guys materialize out of thin air,
08:29and then they haul our friends off to Pompeii?
08:32Very strange.
08:33Uh-oh, I've got some bad news.
08:36Today is August 23rd, A.D. 79,
08:39which by any sane calendar makes tomorrow August 24th, A.D. 79.
08:46The day that Mount Vesuvius, that big mountain across the bay, erupts!
09:08This is weird. I feel like I've been here before.
09:12Hey, Centurion dude, tell me,
09:15is the amphitheater next turn to the right?
09:19So, this isn't your first time in Pompeii?
09:22This is Pompeii?
09:24I was here with my parents sightseeing.
09:27Though when I was here before, it was a ghost town,
09:31the way it's been ever since Vesuvius erupted on August 24th, 79, A.D.
09:36Guys, what's today's date?
09:38August 23rd. Why?
09:40Nothing, really.
09:42Take a good look, criminals, your final home!
09:47Enjoy yourselves.
09:49We'll be back to watch your August 24th gladiatorial debut.
09:56Hey, Paul, what's on that tablet from Gaius?
10:00He wrote his uncle's name.
10:02Let's see, Gaius Plinius Secundus.
10:06Got it!
10:07What do you mean?
10:09Gaius Plinius Secundus is the full name of Pliny the Elder,
10:12the famous Roman statesman.
10:14So his nephew must be Gaius Plinius Assilius Secundus,
10:18or Pliny the Younger.
10:20If Pliny Junius is in Mycenae when Vesuvius erupts,
10:24he'll be close enough to see it and write it down for history.
10:27But if he's in Pompeii, he'll get fossilized!
10:32So, if a Centurion and his slimy friend were the green guys from earlier,
10:37they're all part of the hacker's plan.
10:39He's acting crazy, like a...
10:41A megavirus which is trying to prevent Gaius
10:44from doing what every history book says he did.
10:47You're right! It's acting just like a regular computer virus, only...
10:52Instead of crashing somebody's hard drive,
10:55this one is trying to crash history!
11:02Take your pick and learn your lessons well.
11:05Today, you're students. Tomorrow, you're the show.
11:11Weapons, fellow gladiators!
11:14My uncle will get us out of here!
11:16I'm sure, but in the meantime, staying alive would be a good idea.
11:20Don't worry about that till tomorrow.
11:23Today, their orders are to show you the ropes.
11:36Whoa!
11:50You teach me that move, yeah?
11:53Then someday, when I'm a famous gladiator,
11:56I'll buy my freedom and go back to Germania where I belong.
12:00That's where I'm from, too. Maybe we are related, yeah?
12:04Yeah, like she's your great-great-great-whatever grandmother.
12:08I heard that hair, string bean.
12:11Ooh, aren't you the skinny one?
12:14Edwina says we need to pump you up!
12:18Whoa!
12:21I still think Gaius' uncle could have helped if only we'd asked.
12:25No, no, no! We're here to save history!
12:28If we interfere too much, we'll just be helping the hacker tie it in knots!
12:33Hmm, and I think I know how we can pay for our tickets across the bay.
12:38Oops!
12:41Hey, Kiko, this is completely childish.
12:44Hold still! It's also very difficult!
12:48Ladies and gentlemen, I and my faithful assistant,
12:53the amazing Paul, will do our best to amuse and entertain you!
13:03Aha!
13:08That was dead brilliant, and it just paid for two tickets across the bay as well!
13:15I think all this cleanliness is unhealthy, but to these Romans it's a way of life!
13:20Well, actually, it's quite nice.
13:23By the way, you think they have...
13:25Through there!
13:28I can't believe it!
13:30Flush toilet! Wow!
13:32Yeah, yeah! I like the way the water goes round and round!
13:36All right, gladiators!
13:38Men and women, it's back to the barracks!
13:41And don't try anything funny,
13:44or we'll skip your special feast to celebrate the Emperor's games!
13:52More stuff to our mouths, Nevin?
13:55Come on, you need some muscle on those bones!
13:59Uh, sorry, I'm on a rodent-free diet.
14:03Don't worry, Fire.
14:05I'm sure my uncle will have us out of here by tomorrow afternoon, at the latest.
14:09You don't understand, guys! Tomorrow afternoon will be too late!
14:13Ha! It looks like Edwin is not the only one who whinnies like a horse!
14:21Some of my best friends are horses, unlike that jackass swimming in the gruel!
14:28You know, good food aside, I'm getting pretty sick of this place!
14:34So are we. In fact, later tonight we plan to say goodbye. Care to join us?
14:39Germania, here I come!
14:49Look, I know you want me to wait for your uncle, but believe me, it's this or no way at all!
14:59Someone help! I'm sick!
15:07Take the keys and release the others!
15:10Now, if I'm right about this, the entrance to the gladiator barrack should be just around...
15:18Halt! Who goes there? State your business immediately!
15:23This pre-eruption earthquake you told me about... You're positive?
15:28Yeah! The records show a tremor magnitude 5.3 in 27 seconds and counting!
15:34Open the door for Paul the Great, or face the consequences!
15:41What consequences? Your little friend will cry!
15:47Do as I say, or in 10 seconds...
15:52Oh no! He really is a magician! Let's get out of here!
16:15Is there another way out? Follow me!
16:21Paul!
16:45Paul!
16:52Paul!
17:04There they are!
17:06Paul! Kiko! Are we glad to see you!
17:11Hey! Come on back this way!
17:14There's a better way on the far side of that cage!
17:18Whoa!
17:19Come on, Paul! It's just a big friendly kitty!
17:24That could swallow both of us in one big friendly gulp!
17:28Don't let me hog all the fun! Maybe you would like to...
17:33Nope! Nope! Ladies first!
17:36If you insist!
17:39Woohoo! Follow me, friends!
17:50Oh no! We're sinking!
17:53Actually, Paul, it's called sailing, and it beats lunching with lions any day of the week!
17:59That thing's gonna blow its top any minute now!
18:02Move, move, move!
18:05Lovely day for the games!
18:08The master will be pleased!
18:14The two of you there!
18:16Since it was your prisoners that stirred up my gladiators and then got away,
18:21it's the two of you that get to take their place!
18:27Our mission to disrupt history has failed!
18:30His guy, Splinty, has escaped! The birds are back on track!
18:34And our programs are running out of steam!
18:36It's a disaster!
18:38It's a disaster!
18:40It's a disaster!
18:42It's a disaster!
18:44It's a disaster!
18:46It's a disaster!
18:48It's a disaster!
18:50It's a disaster!
18:52It's a disaster!
18:54And our programs are running out as well!
19:06You malfunctioning fools!
19:09You were meant to stop Gaius Plinius Secundus from making his mark on history!
19:14Uh... actually, master...
19:17he got away...
19:19I know he got away!
19:22Time didn't crash!
19:25Did it!
19:29Land, sweet land!
19:32I promise never to leave you again!
19:36I never thought I'd be so glad to set foot on the shores of my senum again!
19:44I don't believe it! Look!
19:48The god of the mountain speaks!
19:52Quite true, but this is history in the making!
19:55I've got to take notes on everything!
19:57You've got that one right, Gaius.
20:00It was great meeting you.
20:03You too, Edwina!
20:05Well, Gaius, it's time we move on.
20:08I need to continue with my work as well.
20:10May all good fortune go with you!
20:14We couldn't tell you before,
20:16but those fellows who arrested you were agents of the Megavirus,
20:19out to crash history!
20:21Let me guess... by deleting Gaius?
20:24My batteries have got less juice than a dehydrated prune!
20:28We've got to get back to Sheldrake to recharge them.
20:30It means leaving the professor, but if we don't go now, we're all stuck here!
20:47Whoa!
20:51Once again, it's nice to be back.
20:56But without the prof!
20:58I warned him, though.
20:59I just hope he can read my signals and make contact later.
21:02Ed, what happened to Gaius?
21:04With the rest of his life, I mean.
21:06Gaius? He served his people with great honor and integrity.
21:10Called his kid Pliny the Even Younger,
21:12but then he can't be good at everything.
21:14Great!
21:15Maybe I can talk about him in my history paper on ancient Rome.
21:18Lucky it's not due until tomorrow.
21:21Actually, it's already tomorrow.
21:23Oh, no. Class starts in five minutes.
21:28I've spent years perfecting my time travel program.
21:33I have the professor locked up and out of the way.
21:36And you!
21:38You mess up a simple task because of a few interfering school kids!
21:43Get out of my sight!
21:47Next time I will succeed.
21:49I will crash time and history will crumble in my hands!
21:57Oh, and one last thing.
21:59Pliny the Younger, or Gaius as he was known to his friends,
22:03was actually quite a hunk.
22:05Wonderful work, Fire.
22:06I'm sorry the wind blew your paper out the window
22:09and the gardener's lawnmower shredded it beyond repair,
22:12but your oral recitation was brilliant.
22:15It was?
22:16Oh, yes.
22:17Lush toilets in ancient Rome.
22:21In my day, we studied great events, not potty training.
22:30If I can butt in...
