Wander and Sylvia's spa day is cut short when a bunch of fleas have to flee their planet because a giant dog, Buster, has come back to attack it, assuming it's a ball, like what happened to the past planets the citizens lived on. Wander helps the fleas take on Buster by coming up with plans of his own to chase him away, but all doesn't go well and they might have to flee after all.
Spa Day[]
Does this planet closely resemble a tennis ball?
Wander's relaxing
Sylvia is, too
A bubble bath, literally
Riding the bubbles!
Seriously, don't try this at home
Can bubbles really do that?!
Oooooh...that's the spot
Still enjoying it
Now that's the spot.
"I hope everything at our Relaxatorium is to your liking?"
I guess it is.
"I am so pleased you've enjoyed your stay on Balzeria 9. We're quite fond of our peaceful home!"
Happy that all is well.
Peaceful flea
BONG!
What was that?
Everyone's alert
Those chimes in the distance, they mean...
"Well, time to flee and abandon it forever."
What the -- ?!
"Huh?!"
No, I'm not finished yet!
"Huh?!"
I guess we'll have to cut this spa day short.
Fleeing
What's going on?
Oh, no, that's not good.
Time to Flee[]
She's fleeing.
"Beeza, what the heck is goin' on?!"
"Oh, a thousand pardons."
"It's just that our entire planet..."
"...is about to be destroyed."
"Again."
What the - ?
"What?!"
Sigh...
"On eight different planets..."
"...we've built our perfect civilization."
"And eight different times, we've heard the Armageddon Chimes."
"Letting us know that he's come to destroy..."
"...all we've worked so hard to build."
"It's pretty routine by this point!"
"Wait."
"What?"
"Who's "he"?"
"We used to call him the Worldbuster."
"But now, most of us just call him..."
"Buster."
Buster's a dog?
Aww, he's so cute!
Wait, is THAT cute?!
I don't think so.
Sniffing the planet
Look out for the nose-cumme!
Hang on tight!
Still sniffing
Buster, stop!
The flying fleas
Glad that's over.
"The winds already?"
"This doomsday is moving along quite briskly!"
Leaving
"Huh?!"
This isn't good
Wait for me!
Wait, me too!
Convincing to Work Together[]
"You folks are abandoning..."
"...your beautiful home..."
"...for a new one?"
"Just like that?"
"What?"
"Of course not!"
Relieved
Phew, that's not gonna happen again.
"Oh, there aren't any planets left in our system!"
"We have absolutely no idea where we're going."
"We'll just fly through space until we run out of fuel."
"Or food."
"Whichever comes first."
"How does one fight off cannibals?"
"Some kind of pointy stick, I assume."
No way!!!
Slamming into each other
This displeases Wander.
"Everyone!"
"Just hoooold up!"
"Y'all have put so much work into this..."
"...pretty little planet."
"Don't you want to try and save it?"
I know you're scared of Buster."
"But if you keep running..."
Taking his hat off for mood.
"That's all you're ever gonna be doing!"
"You have a chance to change that."
"You just have to turn and face your problems..."
"...head-on!"
"Whataya..."
"...say?"
Hmm...
"Eh, sure. Whatever."
A brief pause
"That's good enough for me!"
"Now gather round."
"I have a plan."
Giving the Dog a Bone[]
Here's our blueprint.
Ready? Let's do this!
Commence construction!
The building site of Plan A
Hammering a section in place.
Nails coming in!
Incoming girder
Wait, more on the way!
The drillers are ready.
Wander sews something
Wait, he needs help for this.
The laser technicians fire the rockets.
A flea drilling
Drilling one by one
Beginning the rivet punching.
Sylvia punches the rivets
This pose looks familiar...
Cone coming in!
There, the cone is ready.
Wander and Beeza twist the cone into place.
Success!
Rocket ready!
3...2...1...
BLASTOFF!!!
Top section
Middle section
Bottom section
Look at it go!
The rocketing...whatever it is.
Close up of the adorable but destructive dog
Hmm?
"We got his attention!"
"Time for phase 2!"
I'm on it!
Now activating the extra edition.
Ring of fire!
Uncovering the first half
The lower half
It breaks away
Revealing some sort of other thingy
It inflates
It looks like the lower half of a bone!
Now for the upper half...
The cap breaks off
The steaming upper half
Now inflating the upper half of the bone
It's growing...
Growing...
Growing!
Now it's a giant bone!
Buster sees this
Boy, does he look happy!
Preparing to chase!
Be gone, dog!
Yes! It worked!
"We..."
"...did it!"
"Here's to facing your problems..."
"...head-on!"
That wasn't hard, was it?
"Hey, not bad."
"What do you know?"
"I did not think I was gonna win."
Come here, flea leader you!
Space traveler and colony leader hugging.
"Uh, folks...?"
Huh?
Oh no!
He's back!
Buster's back!
And he has the bone?
Running back to the planet
I got it!
He drops it
The falling bone
INCOMING!
Busting into the atmosphere
Eyes focused on the falling bone...
...and not leaving it!
This is what the town looks like before it's hit...
...and after.
"What happened?! I thought it worked!!"
"Flarf nabbit, it DID work!"
"We threw a dog a bone..."
"...and he FETCHED it!"
Still up to something
What will he do now?
Any minute...
Wait, now he's drooling?!
It's raining drool!
"Oh, my."
"The Sticky Rains of Terror?"
"We've lingered..."
"...far too long."
"Come on."
"Time to flee!"
OH, NO!
RUUUUUUUN!!!
Drool raining everywhere
It even splashes the viewer!
It's Drool-a-geddon!
Trapped in a drool droplet
Everybody flee!
There's a wave behind us!
Drool washout!
Look out! Drool coming your way!
Oh, she suddenly eats it.
How does dog drool taste?
Let's see.
EWW, YUCK!
"Wander, buddy?"
"We tried!"
"But these folks seem okay with..."
"...just getting outta here!"
"Maybe we should be too?"
"Naw-uh!"
"NO WAY!"
"I have one more plan!"
I've got to stop them, again!
What are you doing?
Whistles[]
Don't leave yet!
"Everybody!"
"One more plan!"
"One more plan!"
Is he asking us to chant with him?
Providing the perfect military music
The perfect military stancing, too.
"Alright soldiers!"
"On my mark..."
"Present..."
"Weapons!"
Sir, weapons, sir!
The dog whistles used to stop Buster
"Wet...whistle!"
Whistles, wet, sir!
Sargent Wander
"Deeeeeeep breaths!"
Yes, sir! *inhale*
"And..."
"BLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!"
Note: No one can hear the sound except the dog.
Blowing hard
Never giving up
Buster hears it
Wow, that really went right into his auditory.
The annoyed dog
Trying to scratch the sound away
He's getting scared
"It's working!"
"Don't stop, now!"
Still blowing
Totally going for it
Blue in the face, literally.
Dog gets sound...
Sound gives him anger.
Just look at him!
Still scratching his ears
Angrily running around
Buster shakes it off.
That's better!
Wait, that means...
Oh no! He's barking!
Those barks...
They're heading towards us!
The buildings are flying!
RUN!
No, this can't be!
What's happening?!
"Hey! Bad dog!"
"Ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah!"
Oh, this isn't going well.
Wait, what the - ?!
Wander, look out!
Tongue trailing!
He's licking it.
My career is over...
A planet-eating dog is so hard to stop!
Hold on, IDEA!
"Wait!"
"New plan!"
Trash[]
"Everybody! Wait! New plan!"
"New plan!"
"New much better plan!"
"Everyone!"
Don't leave just yet!
"All new and improved plan!"
Again?
No, I'm serious!
Wait for it...
"Trash!"
Trash? Really?
"Everybody."
"Hit that tongue with the grossest, nastiest, worst-tasting garbage you can find!"
Here comes the tongue roller!
Trash here.
Trash there.
Trash even...
...in a baby's underwear!
Trash, ho!
TRASH FIGHT!!!
Take this, Buster!
Taste garbage!
Buster's tongue is covered in garbage.
It's slowing down...
And...stop!
He stopped licking!
Hooray! We did it!
Maybe not...
RUN!!!
Whaaaa...why didn't it work?"
"Wander, don't you get it?!"
"Dogs!"
"Love!!"
"TRASH!!!"
?!!
Still licking
Happy dog!
Okay, that's enough licking for now.
He's still at it!
He leaps at it.
Buster's about to do the final attack to the planet.
Looks like he's gonna chew it!
BUSTER BITE!
Looks like this is the end of the planet.
Totally upset that this didn't work
Now Wander's on a potential stalagmite! (Made by the destruction of the planet)
"Sorry buddy, it's time to go!"
"But...but..."
Come on!
Let's go, Wander.
Escape that dog teeth!
Almost to the ship
It's closing!
Phew, made it.
On the ship[]
"Oh, hey!"
"You guys made it."
"That's great."
"GO GO GO GO GO!!!"
Liftoff!
Watch the teeth!
The narrow escape
It's going, it's going...
And...it's gone.
Well, so much for saving Balzeria.
Now it's a home for Buster...probably.
Wander was watching this
Ugh!
And so, for the first time, Wander's plan to save the day actually failed.
"So we didn't get a win this time."
"But...Wander..."
"Sometimes a problem is so big..."
"You just have to flee."
Does Wander agree?
I don't think so.
"NO!"
"There's only one way to stop this..."
"ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!"
And off he goes.
Make way for the screaming orange dude!
Outta my way!
I got a flea colony to save!
What's he doing now?
The ship's captain
Hey, what's he doing here?
You're not supposed to enter the cockpit, you don't work here!
I don't care!
"Come on, what are you --"
Quiet, you!
Get outta here!!
Flying out
Captain ejected!
"Hey!"
Locked out
Wander takes over
Left!
Right!
Whoa!
That's too fast!
Driving the ship
Warp speed!
What -- he's heading straight for Buster?!
Would you just let me in?!
"What's going on?"
"Where's Wander?"
"That little kamikaze's heading straight for that..."
"...monster!"
"Wander?"
"I know you're upset that Buster ate the planet!"
"Heck, so are the rest of these folks!"
"Eh."
"We'll get over it."
"But destroying him and us is not the answer!"
"WE HAVE TO FLEE!"
"That's what I'm doing!!!"
"I'm facing this problem..."
"HEAD-ON!!!"
Most insane scream of the episode
Don't get eaten!
Watch out!
Almost got chomped.
Ack, he sees us!
Phew, survived!
Up we go...
And onto Buster's back!
Prepare for landing!
Epilogue[]
We have arrived!
Welcome to your new home!
"Head-on."
"Yeah."
"Have you lost your nut?!"
"Do you realize what you just did?!"
"Without that ship, these folks have nowhere to live! They needed someplace safe from Buster with..."
"...trees, and..."
"...fresh air, and..."
"...places for really great..."
"...spas."
"And..."
"...a-a-and..."
"Huh."
Whoa.
This looks neat!
Do you like it?
Oh, what a beautiful view!
"Oh, Wander, thanks to you..."
"We finally have a permanent home!"
Hooray for Wander!
Ohhh, you're too nice.
"See, y'all always wanted to flee."
"But, it turns out..."
"All you really needed to do..."
"Was flea!"
"F-L-E-A, flea! You know, bzzt, like the bug? 'Cause they're livin' on the dog?"
"Look, if you have to explain the joke..."
Meeeow!
A yarn planet, possibly having a similar problem
Cliffhanger? (Nope lol)
