ENCORE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL STORY FOR KIDS: Gombies in Paris!

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to the greatest adventure across time, Zap to the Future!

[00:00:11] Hi, I'm Zap and I'm here to tell you all about my adventures into the future!

[00:00:15] Welcome back Zap fans, today we have a special encore episode of last year's Halloween special.

[00:00:20] This is a fun, silly, and just spooky enough adventure where Zap gets to travel to Paris, France

[00:00:26] and practice some French while learning about the Eiffel Tower and helping a new friend stop

[00:00:32] Gombies. Usually, we break up our stories into short 10 to 15 minute episodes,

[00:00:37] but for this special, we're combining the three parts of Zap's Gombie Adventure in Paris.

[00:00:42] We hope you enjoyed this episode of Zap to the Future and come back to listen

[00:00:46] to this year's Halloween special!

[00:00:50] Zap puts down Lala and is brushing his teeth when he hears a new email notification.

[00:00:56] Wow! Looks like the reboot kind of steampunked the time-tabled sound coating,

[00:01:03] a lot more than just Lala's voice assistance. Zap hits the notification button

[00:01:08] and a message from the future begins to play.

[00:01:10] Hello Zap, I'm Francis, Prime Minister, Camille Du Bois, Delane 24-19.

[00:01:17] Acheri is overrun by Légon B. We need your help!

[00:01:22] We need your help!

[00:01:23] We need your help!

[00:01:33] I haven't hours before I need to leave for farming practice.

[00:01:37] Lala, let's go stop some Gombies!

[00:01:40] Zap hits reply on the future message and prepares for the funny sensation that comes with

[00:01:44] time-port jumping. The message screen changes to the time-port jump countdown 5,

[00:01:50] 4, 3, 2, 1.

[00:01:53] Zap's bedroom fills with a flight school of colors as the time-tablet activates to release a

[00:01:58] spurt of time-tankions around our hero. Again, Zap's eyes close due to the bright lights and time-tankions.

[00:02:04] Good golly! I keep forgetting to search the tool app cause for some time-shades!

[00:02:10] The bright red purple and green streaks of light whizzing world around Zap,

[00:02:14] opening fourth-dimensional temporal vibrations to the selected future of the year 24-19.

[00:02:23] Then as quickly as the lights appear, they are gone. Zap opens his eyes and he's in a fancy room

[00:02:28] with high windows overlooking a large vibrant city covered with all sorts of illumination.

[00:02:34] Street lights dot the skyline into the distance. Traffic signs are bright green and red,

[00:02:39] controlling traffic flow. There are all sorts of short tall, wide and thin buildings that have

[00:02:44] different lighting details around their unique architecture. Street vendors have antique looking

[00:02:49] light bulbs and are juxtaposed to bakeries and cafes with neon signs. First responder lights

[00:02:55] flash down various roads, the city literally glowed. Wow! It's like looking at a star cluster!

[00:03:02] Wee! It is indeed like a star cluster! Welcome to Pa-ri, the super city of light. You must be

[00:03:08] Zap! Welcome also to 24-19. Mon ami du passe, my bell maf, the prime minister of the French

[00:03:15] 10th Republic sent for your aid. What are all those first responder lights for? And what's your name?

[00:03:22] Gemma Benjamin, but you, Mon ami, American, can call me Gen. Those great members of Le HorscuGap

[00:03:28] are four Le Zanoyi, Corbi. They are everywhere Zap come. My mother and her staff will explain

[00:03:36] Zap and Gen walk down the hall. French bureaucrats, fill the hallway and every adjacent room. They

[00:03:42] dart from room to room yelling, answering ringing hollow phones, waving their hands in the air.

[00:03:46] Everyone looks very stressed. No! The vehicle Chinese stations have been overrun!

[00:03:52] The gumbies are worse than last year's crepe catastrophe. It has been so crazy and a minister

[00:03:58] than the Husky Gap. All French citizens are demanding a sea stance this way through the grand hallway

[00:04:04] and to our left. Zap and Gen pass between four big guards and enter an office that is equal to the chaos

[00:04:11] outside in the center of the mayhem sits the French prime minister. Ben-meer, I found Zap! He's the

[00:04:17] Petit Gauza, your message for all sea stunts. Wow, it's a pleasure to meet you, my damn prime minister.

[00:04:23] Zap, I can certainly do my best to help solve your problem with the first water gumbies.

[00:04:39] Wee, le gumbies sont orribles. No one knows for sure but our lead nuclear engineer from

[00:04:47] Mekomi Sehe Lannachii Atomi hypothesizes that years of nuclear energy from France's zoe-for-reactor

[00:04:56] has mixed with costly energies over nearby cemetery converting or altering those

[00:05:04] spectral energies into a new form of phantasm. Le gumbies!

[00:05:09] Ha, flesh, hungry zombies mixed in with spector phasing of a ghost. They just float around,

[00:05:16] growling and phasing through objects. They try to eat. Somehow they split off after each phasing.

[00:05:22] Thousands are now roaming Pahi and scientists say there will be millions roaming the country by

[00:05:29] the end of les emelles, the weak Zap. Gauzy! That's a fast growing problem! Le gumbies have disrupted

[00:05:37] all normal activity for the citizens of Pahi. Le rescue gaa and the robotics support are doing

[00:05:45] their best to aid everyone. What do you need from the French government to assist you Zap?

[00:05:52] This is really thinking on my feet so the gauzy's are form of energy. I was just visiting the

[00:05:59] 31st century a friend used in overriding frequency to disrupt a digital chart. Have you tried something

[00:06:08] similar? The room falls quiet. All eyes move from Zap to the french prime minister. Then they burst

[00:06:14] into disagreement. This must go to a le grand comité pour des si on l'entre procrastination.

[00:06:20] Zap, that is a great idea! Lift pledging emergency grant council will be to baby for weeks before any

[00:06:27] action is taken. Can we test this ourselves? Let me check my tool app congen. Zap engine leave the

[00:06:33] prime minister's office. All the yelling was distracting. Fustration never helps when solving a problem.

[00:06:38] In the hallway Zap opens up his tool app con and scrolls around searching for a frequency adjuster.

[00:06:43] I see a garbage trap but it sounds like I need something else. Lala, what tools can I use to

[00:06:51] disrupt frequencies? Retrieve the gramophone at just a rometer. This and the solar charged ray of

[00:06:58] fire adapter will allow you to project short range VHF disorder rays. VHF stands for very high

[00:07:05] frequency. Zap pulls out the hard light tools and connects them. Okay I'm powered up. Now we

[00:07:12] need to test the frequency distortion ray. Watch that sound! Oh no, gombies you see here in the

[00:07:24] ministry building! Two gombies float in through the window and begin phase chomping through the staff

[00:07:31] while their chomping doesn't cause harm. The bureaucrats shout and evade them causing disorder

[00:07:36] and confusion. Legombie! I throw my shoe at you! Shoo shoo! The gombies look like traditional

[00:07:44] specter sheets with the cane zombie arms dipping out. Each gombie has dark beady eyes and spooky mouth

[00:07:50] full of decaying zombie teeth. Every phase chomping creates a nude gombie, the number of gombies quickly

[00:07:56] multiplies and their growls become so irritating to everyone. Let's test out my frequency distortion

[00:08:03] ray. Zap aims and then rays the gombies. They all turn and slowly start to drift towards

[00:08:10] zap and genive. Legombie are coming and the frequency disruptor has no effect! Zap! I need to adjust

[00:08:16] the frequency of the gramophone at just a rometer since the gombies from phase through solid matter.

[00:08:22] Their frequency must be very high but still with invisible range. That might be one of the energy

[00:08:28] alterations. Figure it out quick! Monami ki voyage don't let down! Gombie phase spikes are so cold

[00:08:35] and yucky! I don't think the gramophone adjustor rometer goes higher. Let me splice in the gombie

[00:08:41] trap so we can use that tool's built in gombie frequency rear. Zap pulls out the additional tool

[00:08:49] from the timetable and splices in the device. Now this ruptor ray repowers up. Legombie are upon us!

[00:08:57] Here goes gen! Every gombie within the disruptor ray phases away without hurting any of the

[00:09:06] French bureaucrats or gen. Svakrebleu legombie is on normal!

[00:09:11] The disruptor ray works! Zap you saved the minest green of rescue gap building but how will you

[00:09:23] save all of Pachy? The disruptor ray is too localized. I need a way to broadcast the anti-gombie

[00:09:29] frequency across Pierce. I need a large antenna. Gen! I have an idea! Take me to the Eiffel Tower!

[00:09:37] Leturrefeuille? We mon ami from the past great thinking! This is the tallest structure in all

[00:09:44] of Pachy. Yes, we can use the Eiffel Tower as a large antenna to emit the disruptor frequency

[00:09:52] across Pierce. Getting there will not be easy zap, the streets are full of gombies and the chaos

[00:09:58] they cause. That's okay! I should be effort to port us to the tower a couple seconds into the future.

[00:10:07] Hmm, that's weird this isn't working. Lala what's happening to the time port jump app?

[00:10:14] The ambient gombie radiation is blocking the device's ability to absorb and re-sputter localized

[00:10:21] time techyons. You will need to travel via a different method. Oh man! Let's ask the rescue

[00:10:28] guard for a spare sky car! Gen and Zap make their way from the top floor offices of the rescue guard tower

[00:10:34] to the parking depot just below looking for a spare squad flyer. They spot a guard rushing towards

[00:10:40] the last flyer. Mansoo, sir we need transport to the Eiffel Tower. Can you take us or is there a

[00:10:47] spare flyer in the fleet we can use? The guard looks at Gen and Zap eyes wide with astonishment.

[00:10:53] Oh, we, the rescue guard has plenty of spare transport for two kids visiting the Eiffel Tower.

[00:11:02] You are crazy little girl! The guard is taxed towards very limit. All transport is certainly

[00:11:07] public and addressing the chaos. I am taking the last flyer to help an orphanage overrun with

[00:11:15] willing combs. Take your boyfriend to the Eiffel Tower when there is no national emergency.

[00:11:21] Oh, gombie, gombie, bally! Let's go Zap! We'll have to make our own way! That's okay. I think

[00:11:27] the time tab we can help us. It has cool armor and bounce boots we can use. Zap taps the tool app

[00:11:33] con. Here are some bounce boots. And here's the armor to protect us. Oh, it's a little heavy.

[00:11:43] It is. But you'll thank me later. Now, the bounce boots are a little tricky. Practice bouncing

[00:11:49] up a few times, Gen. Keep your feet under you and lean forward. That will give you the momentum

[00:11:56] and take you in the right direction. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I think. Okay, I think I got it, Zap!

[00:12:06] Great, I'll follow you to the tower. Gen bounces forward and Zap follows. They bounce over

[00:12:12] crashed cars and parisians running away from wailing gombies. They bounce over a small part

[00:12:18] phone where gombies were chasing a flock of ducks and uniforms school kids. Gen, watch out for those

[00:12:24] ducks. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, close one Zap! I almost haven't got to feed the canon.

[00:12:33] Oh, no, put the bat on your ear. Zap and Gen use the disruptor rate to help the school kids

[00:12:44] and continue navigating the chaotic streets of Paris. Unknowingly, a couple gombies start following

[00:12:49] the pair of heroes as they bounce past a pastry shop with a baker bot showing gombies out.

[00:12:55] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:13:02] The gombies are worse than last year's crevc catastrophe.

[00:13:05] Our dream periscation is ruined. This way's up.

[00:13:10] They bounce past a huge park where a circus runs amok and the animals have started to try

[00:13:15] to get to gombies. These gombies will not ruin the reputation of the brilliant ball jangles.

[00:13:22] The greatest clown of all parties, the show must go on.

[00:13:27] You are acting like such a clown. Run!

[00:13:31] Oh no, is that an elephant going to feed? That can't be good Zap.

[00:13:37] Gen, some of the gombies might be frequency shifting to affect organic objects. We need

[00:13:43] to get to the tower as quickly as possible. More gombies follow Zap and Gen. There's so much

[00:13:50] mayhem, they do not notice. The determined heroes are focused on their ancient iron destination.

[00:13:56] Gen leads them down an old Parisian alleyway over a few apartment buildings where

[00:14:01] Le Resteu guard are trying to hold off gombie swarms with energy barriers but have a little success.

[00:14:07] Zap raised a few gombies for the guard before the two turn onto Avenue and a toly friends.

[00:14:13] I see the south pillars out this way across the grand avenue of Gustave Fenth, named after

[00:14:21] the designer and architect of the tower. We can bounce up the stairs to the second floor.

[00:14:28] As Zap bounces up the iconic Eiffel Tower, the symbol of France's capital city,

[00:14:33] he cannot contain his off for this incredible iron structure still standing into the 25th century.

[00:14:39] I've always dreamt of traveling with my mom to see the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Wee,

[00:14:45] I've also always dreamt of seeing the Statue of Liberty in America, also designed by Gustave Fenth.

[00:14:52] Glad to hear that leading Liberty is still standing too. This will be a lot of bouncing.

[00:14:57] The Eiffel Tower is almost 1,000 feet high. The tower has been used as an antenna many times across

[00:15:05] history since World War I. In my time, long-learned tenas were added to boost receivers and

[00:15:11] trenchevers span. Today we will use the tower to broadcast a wave of gombie displacement frequency

[00:15:20] that will cover the city. Careful ahead mon ami, I see a few pesky gombies bothering some snuff members

[00:15:29] on the main. I got them! Merci moncier, those gombies sont en ribbe, that device is a miracle.

[00:15:39] We need access to the top of the tower, monsieur. Wait, the public cannot access the tower's top levels.

[00:15:46] We are on a mission of the utmost importance. The fate of Paris is at stake. Kids crossing the city

[00:15:54] and overcoming Sochi-Kaersalon to save Paris. Your bravery has touched my heart and vans.

[00:16:02] Up the tower you go, right this way. The staff member unlocks the access gate.

[00:16:08] Now go save Paris! We monsieur?

[00:16:11] Zap and Gen bounce up the 600 plus remaining stairs to the top access shoot. It's amazing that

[00:16:17] a structure built between 1887 and 1889 was still standing and perfectly maintained after 500

[00:16:24] years. Zap opens the top shoot and climbs through. The wind whips around so fast, nearly blowing our

[00:16:31] hero off the Eiffel Tower. Zap helps Gen up and changes their bounce boots to a magnetic setting.

[00:16:36] The winds this high up sometimes reach over 100 miles per hour. Magmids should keep us locked

[00:16:44] onto the Eiffel Tower's coated iron surface. I'm going to start configuring the displacement

[00:16:51] adjusto rometer. I need you to start hooking up these laser cables to the antennas and digital arrays.

[00:17:00] The group of gumbies following Zap and Gen has grown from a few to a dozen to a couple hundred

[00:17:06] and now at the tower thousands of gumbies converge. The group of gumbies start confining into one giant

[00:17:12] floating gumbie midway of the tower. The larger the giant gumbie grows, the more gumbies are drawn in

[00:17:19] this giant gumbie. On the tower roof almost the size of the Eiffel Tower itself,

[00:17:27] the giant gumbie floats up and looks down at the tower rooftop.

[00:17:31] Oh no! The gumbies formed into a, a, a, a, a, a, that's not good I really love the

[00:17:45] way it's been to commit and set the gumbies trap. We have chief re here on the adjusto rometer.

[00:17:52] The higher frequency of the mega giant Kauvi Kaiju might overwhelm the deflate before it's set.

[00:17:59] We need to lower the Kaiju mass.

[00:18:01] Jin, start blasting here.

[00:18:04] Catch!

[00:18:05] Zach quickly tosses the blasted to Jin.

[00:18:07] Zabai at the Amusein!

[00:18:11] Jin, valiant with the Fensgar roof top position.

[00:18:14] Aiming and disrupting pieces of the giant Kaiju Gambi.

[00:18:18] Disruptive patches quickly reform with more Gambis filling the voids.

[00:18:23] The Gambi Kaiju emits a wave of Gambis from Tsu.

[00:18:29] The wave of Gambis emitted from the mega giant Sukuura Jensabu.

[00:18:34] The Gambis are closing in! There are too many of them!

[00:18:38] Just a few more seconds!

[00:18:40] At just a robiter, he and your detected.

[00:18:43] Spectoral energy flux counter equipment.

[00:18:46] The encirclement of the VHF Reader.

[00:18:50] The encircling Gambis are so numerous that Jin falls back.

[00:18:54] The Gambi Kaiju is in full swing!

[00:18:58] Jin, hold on!

[00:19:09] The encircling Gambis keeps Zabai and Jin in place while the mega giant Gambi Kaiju engulfs a tower completely.

[00:19:15] Doubling its VHF and volume instantly.

[00:19:19] The inside of the giant Gambi sounds echoey and spooky like a cave.

[00:19:23] There is a heavy and smelly fog inside making it hard to see.

[00:19:27] Even the gravity felt a little different.

[00:19:30] Are you okay, Jin?

[00:19:32] Wait, wait! This is so weird and stinky!

[00:19:35] This Gambi situation just got so much worse!

[00:19:38] What can we do, Zab?

[00:19:40] Zab looks around nervously while blanking on a response to Jin.

[00:19:43] What can a 10-year-old boy from Chattanooga do to stop a giant future monster?

[00:19:47] He remembers the tablets mystery collars final words.

[00:19:51] Be smart, be brave and be yourself.

[00:19:53] That breathes in deeply.

[00:19:55] Ben exhales.

[00:19:57] Hmm, I think the gobby's increased volume is a bit out of sync with its energy frequency.

[00:20:03] So it's pinned to the tower's mass for right now and can't completely face through it.

[00:20:09] The Eiffel tower weighs 10,000 tons.

[00:20:13] So that's a lot of mass.

[00:20:15] I don't know how long it will last but I need a major power boost to restave us the

[00:20:23] Adjustor Rounder due to the increased spectral energy flux of the mega giant Gambi Kaju.

[00:20:30] The tower is connected to the city's power grid.

[00:20:33] Of course, that should be more than enough power to boost the Adjustor Rounder.

[00:20:37] We have to act fast.

[00:20:39] Zap opens the tool appcon and scrolls for power connectors.

[00:20:42] He pulls out two cents.

[00:20:44] Use this to connect the Adjustor Rounder to the electrical port.

[00:20:47] Okay, Zap, but how will you connect to the power source near the tower base?

[00:20:52] Walking down the tower stairs will take forever!

[00:20:55] Zap smiles and pulls out a volt finder.

[00:20:57] His harness and a length of laser rope from the tablet's tool appcon.

[00:21:01] The laser rope glowed bright red and had a slight hum.

[00:21:05] I've been waiting for a chance to test out this laser rope.

[00:21:08] I'm going to repel down the tower.

[00:21:10] Lala will help guide you once the Adjustor Rounder is boosted.

[00:21:14] Zap loops the laser rope through his harness and using Boy Scout training,

[00:21:18] bow line knots the end of the laser rope to a rail.

[00:21:21] He turns off his magnetic boots, leaps over the rail and looks down.

[00:21:25] The Gambi fog is so dense he can't see more than a few feet below him.

[00:21:29] Wish me luck, Jen!

[00:21:33] Zap upheld down and disappears into the fog.

[00:21:35] The tower shudders as the Mega-Tank Gambi tries to stream again.

[00:21:39] Good luck, Zap!

[00:21:41] All of Ba-Hee is counting on us!

[00:21:44] Jen quickly connects the Adjustor Rounder to the electrical port and clicks on the feet.

[00:21:48] Lala begin running frequency rear adjustment calculations.

[00:21:53] Of course, Julie Petifilm.

[00:21:57] Zap speedily repels down the Eiffel Tower.

[00:22:00] Years of rock climbing and repelling show,

[00:22:03] as Zap takes big bounces off the tower's coated iron side.

[00:22:07] I still can't see the ground!

[00:22:13] It's not to hurry!

[00:22:14] Zap focuses on making longer jumps and zipping down faster.

[00:22:18] He finally reaches the street level and disengages the laser rope.

[00:22:24] Okay, the tower's connection to the city's power grid should be near one of the pillars.

[00:22:29] Zap turns on the vault meter and switches the tool to read inductively.

[00:22:33] With almost no visibility due to the heavy-comby fog, Zap needs the tool to guide him.

[00:22:38] The vault meter is picking up the power source! Awesome!

[00:22:42] Zap begins to move in a direction indicated by a higher frequency of beeps.

[00:22:46] Through the fog, Zap hears a very distinct gumbee shriek.

[00:22:51] Who knows?

[00:22:52] The elephant gumbee flips over a few benches and knocks down some trees as it rushes towards Zap.

[00:22:58] That's the elephant gumbee jinn I saw at the park earlier.

[00:23:02] Oh man, the elephant gumbee doesn't face!

[00:23:05] I better find the city power fast!

[00:23:07] The elephant gumbee can't see me in this heavy fog,

[00:23:10] but I think he's tracking me via the beeps.

[00:23:13] Due to the low visibility, Zap runs carefully in the direction of the beeps.

[00:23:17] I think it's over this way?

[00:23:21] Is that it?

[00:23:23] There it is!

[00:23:24] I think the elephant gumbee is headed this way!

[00:23:27] Zap jumps over a bench and makes it to the tower's power supply.

[00:23:31] He unlocks the power cabinet's vault access,

[00:23:34] and jumps down as the elephant gumbee swipes its truck at our hero.

[00:23:38] Gawley! That was close!

[00:23:40] I should be safe down here. The axis vault is old-school power infrastructure

[00:23:45] but everything inside the vault is new tech.

[00:23:48] Wow, this looks like a redesigned Tesla coil.

[00:23:51] There's the city side of distribution and right under is a power port I can tap.

[00:23:57] Zap connects to the city's power grid and clicks on his up-peak.

[00:24:01] Power up! Take that you mega giant gumbee!

[00:24:04] Codew! Ha! Now how do I get up to the tower quickly to help Jen?

[00:24:09] With the city's power flowing directly into the adjusterometer,

[00:24:12] Lala begins recalibrating the VHF reader to find the new disruptor frequency

[00:24:16] for the mega giant gumbee, Codew.

[00:24:19] Power boost engaged. VHF reader is a full function.

[00:24:23] New spectral mask calculated distortion frequency recalibrating.

[00:24:27] Power directed toward tower top and ready to engage.

[00:24:31] The tower trembles again, and Jen can hear the iron girders begin to buckle and grind.

[00:24:37] A cloud of mutated gumbies emerges from the fog heading towards Jen.

[00:24:41] These gumbies had multiple creepy arms and larger mouths for chopping.

[00:24:45] Those mutant gumbee teeth look so scary!

[00:24:48] I need to engage the disruptor raise last rhythmic.

[00:24:52] But need to keep those mutant gumbies back! I can't do both!

[00:24:58] You can do both with teamwork.

[00:25:00] Stop! You made it back!

[00:25:02] Was that to see?

[00:25:04] We only have a few seconds before the gumbee chide you frequency shifts further.

[00:25:08] Now's our chance, Jen!

[00:25:10] Keep those mutant gumbies off of me while I engage the final relay

[00:25:14] and release the anti-gumbee frequency from the tower top.

[00:25:18] Okay, zap!

[00:25:19] Jen aims and begins disrupting gumbies.

[00:25:22] Zap runs to the Eiffel Tower's radio antenna setup and begins connecting the final relay.

[00:25:28] Sinara gumbee chide you!

[00:25:31] Look, Zan, it's working! The giant gumbies dispersing and the smaller gumbies are following suit!

[00:25:37] They are dispersing into bubbles!

[00:25:41] Whaaaaa?

[00:25:42] The disruptor raise reverberates through the gumbee chide you and over Paris.

[00:25:47] The mega giant gumbee chide releases one last monstrous yell.

[00:25:52] The giant gumbee bursts into a million tiny bubbles,

[00:25:56] so do the mutant gumbies and regular gumbies floating around the Eiffel Tower.

[00:26:01] Zap and Jen look out over Paris and pop little gumbee bubbles over their heads.

[00:26:06] Ha ha! We did it, Zan! Look at these pretty balls, little bubbles!

[00:26:11] They pop so easy!

[00:26:13] What the people of Paris know, Jen?

[00:26:15] Zap pulls out a megaphone from Lala's tool app icon.

[00:26:18] Lala directs connected megaphone audio fee to devices across the city.

[00:26:24] Connection complete!

[00:26:36] Everywhere across the city per region's pop gumbee bubbles and cheer.

[00:26:42] Zap and Jen unhook the adjuster rometer setup and climb down the tower stairs.

[00:26:48] Inclayab, brave children, you've saved Paris!

[00:26:52] From horrible gumbies, Viva la France, Viva les Zap and Jen!

[00:26:57] I shall report this across Paris from the tower's netbook page.

[00:27:02] Our heroes walk past the elephant and the Greek clown bow jangles.

[00:27:06] Come on, peanut! This crazy gumbee nightmare is fun!

[00:27:10] Let's get back to our circus friends!

[00:27:13] Zap and Jen see a pair of Le Rescu-Gard Sky Flyers zoom by.

[00:27:17] Our heroes make it back to the rescue guard tower,

[00:27:20] where a large crowd of parisians have started together.

[00:27:23] Look, it is the two heroes from the tower's report post!

[00:27:29] Zap and Jen wave to the crowd as they pass through the lobby doors

[00:27:33] and are ushered towards the Prime Minister's office.

[00:27:36] Zap and Jen!

[00:27:38] You have saved Pachlee and France!

[00:27:41] We are all indebted to your quick thinking and bravery!

[00:27:45] Thank you, Madame Prime Minister.

[00:27:47] I have to get back to my present but before I go...

[00:27:51] Zap reaches into the tool app con and pulls out the gumbee disruptor ray.

[00:27:56] Here you go Jen!

[00:27:57] This will be handy if the gumbies ever resurface.

[00:28:00] Merci Zap!

[00:28:01] I and all of the citizens of Pachlee will never forget your help!

[00:28:06] Zap opens the time port job app and sets course towards the present.

[00:28:10] All from the origin!

[00:28:13] Zap makes it back to the present and looks at the time.

[00:28:16] Wow, time travel is so weird!

[00:28:19] It feels like I spent so much time in 24-19 but I still have an hour before climbing practice.

[00:28:26] Good golly, I'm tired!

[00:28:28] Zap drops back onto his bed exhausted.

[00:28:30] He closes his eyes and starts to doze off.

[00:28:33] The last couple of months have been so intense between school, scouting,

[00:28:40] future adventures and climbing team.

[00:28:43] I need a vacation!

[00:28:46] Hello Zap fans!

[00:28:47] Thank you again for listening to our show.

[00:28:50] I wanted to peel back the curtains a tiny bit on the creative process.

[00:28:53] The three episodes you just listened to essentially came from Jay.

[00:28:58] Coming up with the name gumbies and everybody laughing hysterically.

[00:29:02] We're constantly asked who comes up with these characters, who comes up with these stories

[00:29:06] and it's definitely a process that the whole family participates in.

[00:29:10] Your family can do the same thing.

[00:29:12] Sit around the table, during dinner, during lunch, come up with fun stories, come up with funny characters,

[00:29:18] make each other laugh and you can see how much fun it is to be original.

[00:29:22] Stay off AI!

[00:29:24] Use your brains, use your funny bones and create awesome characters and share them!

[00:29:29] Thank you for taking the time to listen to the show.
