Hello again to another episode of Villan Underground. I am your game maestro Alex Cryy, Kreek and Prowl, and with me we have... Ali! Sup guys?

Will! I don't have any goose. That's fine. You don't have any editorial.

Will! Hey guys! We have Cody. There is no Cody here, only Bill.

This again. Alright, we have Phil. Hi everybody. This guy's you fucking killing me.

So Ali, tell us what happened last time on Villan Underground. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.

Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.

Fuck you. Ah, well, everybody showed up in a conference room to talk about a gun. And that's all I remember, no I'm kidding. Knox got a call about something about some sort of laurel re-thing and Golden Arrow freaked out and went running out to talk to future Knox who doesn't like to be called Girl Knox because that's important.

I don't provide important details. I just provide details. Look, no, screw that. She's a whore.

Oh wait. Hooker. Hooker, that's right. So Knox from the future told Golden Arrow that basically he would have to either kill what's his name?

Maximum? Maximum? Maximum? Maximum?

Industry or talk to a god to get into an Olympic competition. Golden Arrow got into a Twitter war with Maximus Man and Sports Man and they decided that they're gonna do it three way. So then Knox, Dead Eye and Robo-Nobo show at the mansion and there's Dude, Staff to Death, pinned to the gates and he's got Dee Dee carved into his chest. We still don't know what that means and then Golden Arrow sticks his head out of the mansions front door and asks if anybody wants to kill anyone and of course Dead Eye is like yeah.

No except that I think absolutely everybody knows what Dee Dee means I think just knocks his hands on head retarded. Golden Arrow do you know what there's a the man's caught up with Dee? Do you know anybody by that initials? Oh my god I just figured it out.

It's Dean. What's Dean's last name? Why would he do this to us? He has your gun.

I don't think he's capable of killing anyone. He was too squeamish. You think so? Oh I know.

Everybody I think it's darkly it's remember that dude like beat the shut up and threw in a fire. No we threw him in a fire he obviously wouldn't come back. We threw him in a fire. Exactly.

Did you watch and burn? No he's already in the fire. That's pretty gross why we watch a dead body burn. Well how else would you know it's dead?

Can we keep her? She's pretty. It's not pretty smart. No no no I didn't mean to stop right there.

Well Miss Smurty Pants. Can you... No her name is Dead Eye. Oh I don't think we actually been formally introduced.

Yeah I'm Dead Eye. I'm Golden Arrow. Nice to meet you. I'm Golden Arrow.

Nice to meet you. I'm Knox. I've been told she could do for the past month. But I got the gun so really you won?

I know I know. Do you know anything about the Justice Union? What is it? Union of Heroes.

Union of Heroes. You know anything about them? Nope. Well you've heard the name before they're kind of they're kind of like the Justice League.

Copy right in Benjamin Alex. They're kind of like the Justice Squad. I mean I've heard the name before but other than that. Well so it turns out that guy I want to kill or need to is a better term for it.

He lives in Steel City which is where those assholes are. He's not part of the team but if we start starting up trouble it could be some trouble of our own that comes our way. So I think we need to maybe talk to some people. We call it puzzle king.

See what he's up to. Your first thing is to call puzzle king every single time. Knox already has his phone out. Like already typing away.

Do you think that Jet Fuel can burn Steel City? He's not 9-11 conspiracy king. Damn it. Thanks for getting drunk by the way.

Yeah no I got it. He's just no. No. Not that he's not saying no that it can't.

He's saying no like he's not going to answer that. We're just not engaged in this conversation. Yeah that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to not get.

Okay so what are you guys doing? Well Golden Arrow is in full on investigation mode and he's actually going to give a shout out to his old friends at the Super Villain cave thing. What was that called again? The Chaos Committee.

Thank you. I've seemingly forgotten everything about this world in past month or two. Yes he wants to call it the Chaos Committee and see if they want to call it the Mahem over in Steel City. You call there and they're like guys you're not really you kind of left a bad on bad terms and we're not really willing to associate with you.

I'll send him back a please message. No. As dark as she got my apology letter. Well apparently she got it but it wasn't enough.

Thanks. I'll just kind of push Knox a little bit and storm back into the mansion. I can always call burn. He might be able to break Steel Beams.

I mean City. We're going to need all the help we can get but we got to do some research. And that's what you're doing. I want to figure out everything I can possibly figure out about the superheroes in that town.

Not only just Maximus Mann. I know that Future Knox has given me that information but I want to know about who their arch enemies are. There's like the Union guys and see arch enemies all that kind of stuff. What are the supervillains rolling around in that town and what they can come to.

The main hero of that town is Iron Justice. The Union of Heroes live in a satellite but Iron Justice is a leader of that group. And Iron Justice from what you find that Zero Talents is actually Iron Justice's brother. Interesting.

And on the Union of Heroes is Clarity Bell who's clone is Dark Bell. So the Commander for chaos is the arch nemesis of the Union of Heroes. What the fuck? Where did I want to help?

Jesus. Are they really not like us? No. Are they talking about us behind our backs?

I don't think that needed to really. So do you want to know other members? Yeah. Of the Union.

You want me to roll for investing? Yes. Plus two. Okay.

It's pretty easy to find because they're pretty well known and the information is kind of out there. There is someone known as Bohemith. Are you writing these down or care? Yes, Alex.

I totally am. That's a spoon on my desk. Do you spell Bohemith with methdeand? M-E-T-H?

No, with moth at the end. It's B-E-H-E-M-O-D-H. Okay. Bohemith.

Yes. What does Bohemith look like? Is he a Mothman dressed in festival with clothes? No.

Bohemith kind of looks like a somewhat androgynous gargoyle that's all gray with giant wings. That's cool. All right. There is also somebody known as the corporate avenger.

Corporate avenger is sometimes on and off of the team because any time the team goes against a big corporation, the corporate avenger is like, I don't fight for the little guy. There's not people fighting for the little guy for the big guy. So he's sometimes on the team and sometimes not. Wait, I thought all heroes were Democrats and all villains were Republicans.

Not corporate avenger. Can this be Nox's arch villain? Arch-rival? Can I be his arch villain?

Corporate avenger. He's not like hard-liner, probably. He's libertarian. He's fighting for businesses rights.

Okay. I should rename him to Hobby Lobby. Okay. He would fight for Hobby Lobby.

There's also EMP. Okay. There is God send. There is a reserve member known as Purple Loose Rife.

Mr. Matter of going too fast. Let me know. This is a big team.

Neptune network. Samson. The visionary white star. That is the team.

So Golden Arrow has a giant printout. I'm like old, like the dotted paper. I don't know what's called, but it's like an old ass printer. And he's got it.

The not matrix. He's like, uh, so this is on Run This Room. Obiqui was our wool room. As you can see here, did I?

The way is, um, I believe, uh, what is it called? Narrow calls it the place that he works out. Um, Rob, you know what it is. So they do with like ham?

Nox, it goes to the beef palace. Come on. The beef palace is down the way. I haven't been there in a while.

I've been doing my crossfit. Nox, you notice that one of your uh, parent real theory guys has a joke crossed out beef palace and put in chicken check. Nox laughs. Okay.

Tell you realize is that someone has defiled his inside of his manner. Can Golden Arrow see this? You're doing research on the hero. I will mandatory them to do, uh, eight hours of Zumba.

Okay. All right. Do the Zumba. Wait for eight hours straight?

Yes. Okay. Well, they're all dead. One of the guys says we didn't do it.

Somebody else did. It was one of your troop. So that means we all have to pay for it. If you can define who did it, I could maybe, maybe lesson.

Maybe one less Mariah Carey song. Maybe. So you're gonna force us all to do this. If you don't want to do it.

You didn't stop him. Wait. All right. All right.

If you can identify who it was, then I will, I will not have you do the punishment. One of the dudes is like, dude, we're not rats. Isn't that a good feature? You want us to not be rats?

But I want you to improve yourself. Zumba is a good way to improve your overall wellbeing, your fitness. Well, no, what I'm saying is we don't want to rat on anybody. We're not going to tell you who did it because we're not rats.

Me, no rats, bro. No, I want you to respect the establishment. Not that establishment, but our establishment here. You should respect each other and the area that you work in.

Would you like to, I don't know, shit in a disgusting toilet room? You would like to have it clean. Sorry. Okay.

God, I'm not gonna do it because we're not rats. Are you gonna make them do the Zumba? Oh, yeah. If they're not telling me who it is, they'll do the Zumba.

Okay. You lose a few more guys. Okay. Cool.

Definitely. No, they don't die. They're just like, fuck this. I'm going back out on the streets.

It was way better selling Coke. No, we just want them for them to improve themselves. Okay. They can go back to selling Coke if they want.

Okay. You're just losing paramilitary guys every time you make one of these decisions. Hey, in the end, whoever's left is going to be a badass. Three guys are like, it goes up.

I'm really good at Zumba and Tybo. Okay. All right. We'll be the Indians.

So you've done the research. All you dudes are now in the same area because the old Narrow said that he wants to kill somebody. All right, gang. So there's a lot of these heroes.

They live in a satellite, by the way. Only Iron Dust is known to be in that city. So this Iron Justice fucker is in the city. And while he's the only one there, there's quite a few people up in a satellite.

Satellite, I assume, can beam space lasers down to the city and keep it safe. So. So what you're saying is we need to be quiet. We can do quiet.

We can do quiet or just keep trying to call him out and get him to a neutral area or we can set a trap for Maxis. What do you all think? You want to go quiet? You want to set a trap?

There's a ring at the doorbell. It's not quite at all. Nobody answered that. She's having something to get.

Doesn't this your house? Why don't you get it? Cause Donaldson. Oh, Donaldson.

Oh, daughter. Could you get the door? No, she's going through that teenage rebellious phase already. I haven't even hit that phase.

Fine. What are you, like, 12? I'm 14. I'll have you know, and a half.

March. who's going to the door? No, it's going to be like staring and tightly at all the people, all the gang members around. They're not around, they're off doing Zumba.

Oh yeah, that's right. Something occurred. I go into the door. And the Zumba music is too loud, they didn't hear the doorbell.

Okay, are you gonna punish them for that too? No, I just add more single ladies. Yes, I will. Add more single ladies to that track.

Are you really doing that? Yeah, well, after I answer the door, of course. Okay, you answer the door. It's a couple of missionaries from the church beside him.

They're like, hello, have you heard the word of the church beside him? No, you guys have a church? Oh yeah, we've had a church for years. Do you guys get mixed up with Satan a lot because of the Trident?

Not really, the church of Satan isn't super, it's popular to church beside him. I would beg to differ. Have you grunge online? I mean, ever since the messenger of Poseidon has come to earth to show us the glory of the ocean and the bounty that it holds, the church beside has been very critical.

So you said bounty? Yes, the ocean is full of bounty. Like what kind of bounty? Ocean was the birthplace of life.

It brings us the fish and the water and the oil. I saw the door. They ring again. Ding dong.

Hello. Hi, would you like a pamphlet? Um, show my nose. Just read up on it.

There's no pressure, we're just trying to spread his watery goodness. Um, okay, well I guess things can be more a little bit more moist in the area. Okay, thank you. I mean, we're at a harbor town.

Very to the one that has your hand. It's like your life is in the sand, so. Right, okay, takes a plan to start reading it. Sounds good and then shuts the door.

Okay, all right. They're like, have a good day, sir. Walk back in reading the pamphlet. Guys, did you realize Poseidon can actually do all this?

I did realize he controlled the majority of the seas. He could make shipping so much easier. Wait, is Poseidon Greek or Roman? Greek.

Oh, I was just asking everybody. Thank you. Oh, sorry. I could confuse.

The voice is not different. Is this Poseidon character a sea Greek or Roman? Does anybody know? It says he own the pamphlet Greek, I think.

It's a weird thing to say on a pamphlet. Well, it has his entire bio. He looks really nice in this picture. I didn't realize he was so buff.

He's almost stronger than you. Hmm? Nothing. He must be eating a high protein fish-based diet.

It is great for this essential oils. I think I may have a way around this whole finding all these people think. Give me one second. And he's going to knock, it's like old narrows going to leave.

And he's going to fly to take off after the Poseidon missionaries. Okay. All right. What's everybody else doing?

Well, the owner flies away. Do you have a shooting range? No, I pull. No, I do not have a shooting range, but no.

Oh, well, all the windows are shooting ranges. And he's going to lead that I up the front door. There's a bunch of bodies of dead reporters that are riddled with bullets. Like up against the gate.

Well, we'll see lots of shooting here. I told them to sit. There were really shallow graves, but some dogs kind of like mop and mop and mop against the fence again. That is.

That is not what I had in mind. There are also some wild dogs that pulled the body that was once on the gate in a crucified style. This pulled it down into the yard. The wild dog population just started to grow in your yard dogs.

I don't think Cody left that part of the cannon. The homeowner's association is not going to like this. No, no, no. They're actually right there.

And it's one of the other bodies. They came actually last week. They were howling about something. And they took them for a dog.

The house seems to be in pretty bad repair because the one person that would clean stuff is gone. And there's like no groceries to be able to order a takeout for half a month. And everyone's taking out the trash. And they're also throwing about bones and dead bodies and wild dogs during on them.

This house is a goddamn nightmare. But we need to find Donaldson again. This is gotten out of hand. Dogs, Donaldson's name starts with a D.

Do you think he did this in retaliation? No, Donaldson wouldn't do that. What's Donaldson's last name? Oh, it's a Lord's house.

Donaldson does love us. But that's why we must find him. If you're looking for a place to shoot, the grounds of the house are pretty big. And there used to be a well-maintained hedge maze in the backyard.

But now it's just the wide field with large bushes. Ooh, that sounds perfect. OK. If you're looking for somewhere to shoot, there are places where you can shoot.

I love this image of her just firing blindly into the bushes where people used to walk through. Just like, boy, boy. Kind of just a little either urge the gymnasium wherever they're doing the Zuma. Is that what you do that out of your shoot into the bushes?

I mean, I'd probably find some cans. I'm sure there are cans around this disaster at the house. Yeah, there's a few. The gang members, when they started getting trained, were drinking a lot.

Because they're drinking a lot and doing drugs. So there's a few piles of empty cans and used needles. God, what has happened to this place? The grass has been mowed in a while.

So. Oh, man. It's starting to turn into a spooky mansion. That's the boss that you don't want to move down.

Oh. You should have gotten at least one whoop-serve of the dolls. And you keep forgetting that he's gone. So it's not you don't hire anybody else or get anyone else to do anything.

Oh, boy. OK, so you're going off and shooting cans. Yep. As you shoot the cans, bullets go flying through the hedges and make them look even more patchy and weird.

Knox and Robo, no more. Are you going to do anything? Knox, no. Robo got a plan.

And you seem to transform himself into a telescope. OK. He's a telescope with the end on it, where there would normally be the lens as a gorilla face. Yes.

OK. And he's going to say, let's do surveillance on the satellite. You mean the ones run by the Union of Heroes? That's a win.

I guess that would work. Knox bends down to put his eyes up to the thing. Helmets in the way has to unlatch the helmet. It says like a code word.

It comes off. And then like he goes down and goes, Robo, open your mouth. I can't see anything. Robo opens his mouth.

And you're looking into a small opening on the opposite end from his mouth. Move your tongue down. Your tongue's in the way. OK, there we go.

Right. Do you know where the coordinates of the satellite are? Or are you just going to scan the heavens? Please, heart.

It would be even Robot, too. I could smell the ocean breeze from here. It'd probably smell like napalm. OK, so are you scanning the heavens?

Or are you going to look upward? How would you know where the satellite is? Robo is able to look up the coordinates, like how you pull up on Google for Sky Maps, for like the International Space Station, or Heavenly Bodies. OK, you can kind of see it off in the distance.

It's pretty high up. But yeah, you can see the satellite floating. Phil, you reach the, a couple of missionaries are walking down the street with like, they got little blue backpacks and like, light blue shirts and like, ice blue ties. So Golden Arrow, still flying, comes careening down and kind of does a roll to land.

And it kind of stands up. You're like, ah, yeah, sorry. Oh, hello. And I'm still getting used to this whole thing.

Hi. Can I see Poseidon? Poseidon is all around us. He's there when it rains.

He's there on the boats. And you can go out into the ocean and praise him. And I need to go to the ocean and praise him. I mean, we have we have chapels in the city.

If you want to worship, I mean, we have like three or four services a week. And where are these chapels at? He hands you a pamphlet. And he's like, in the pamphlet, we have a map for where all of our chapels are.

OK. Now, how do I get to Atlantis? Oh, you'd have to charter one of the submarines that go there on a regular basis because there is free trade with Atlantis. You just have to buy a ticket.

OK. And he's there, correct? Poseidon is Poseidon? No, but his herald is.

And who is that? Riptide. Riptide. Very cool.

Riptide, the messenger of the messenger of Poseidon. So not Neptune. That's cool. That's good to know.

All right. Well, bye. Just zoom off back to the mansion. Bye.

Hope Poseidon treats you well. I grab a pamphlet. OK. All right, cool.

When you get back, you notice that I was in the back shooting up cans and bushes with guns. And Knox has his eye to robos be hole looking into the sky. I'll stop it. Did I first?

OK. You want to? Yeah, absolutely. I'll pick up again.

I'd like to make sure it's loaded. Just kidding. That's bad. How do you know if it's loaded?

Oh, man. You need to take under safety, bro. I have. But yeah, sounds republic and golden arrow does.

I was saying all republicans like guns. But this republican does. Well, narrow. Shoots into the bushes randomly.

You're just ripping apart the branches and just looking patchy and patchy. You fired these large caliber bullets into the hedge mates. Are you even aiming? Well, I'm trying this theory where I can try to move a bullet.

But it doesn't seem to be working. Not fast enough yet. You got to turn it just right. And then it will curve.

Well, no, see, I can do this. And then I let go of the gun and I let it hover. And I pull the trigger like a few times with my mind powers. Like, see, I can do this.

But I can't get a fix in the bullet just yet. It's kind of annoying. It's going pretty fast. Yeah.

I'll just try it later. Here we go. And hands are back to the gun. So have you ever been to Atlantis?

No, I have not. You want to go? Sure, why not? Not like I'm doing anything else while I'm waiting for my gun to get back.

Well, it's like for a reason. I'm not asking you to go on vacation with me. That'd be weird. But we're just I got to go see a god.

I got to go see a god about a thing. He's going to help me wrestle a dude. And then I'm going to get more powerful. Will there be oil involved?

Oh, I'm sure. I mean, it's the ocean. That's not OK. Sure.

Yeah. I mean, they drill off the shores of everything. We can drill down into the earth and get it. It's not the kind of oil I meant.

What kind of? You're talking about wrestling. Oh, well, yeah. I mean, you got to oil up for your wrestling.

Yeah, OK, why not? Go on. If she can see it, we'll really do the wrestling. Good.

I'm glad I know what to make. You don't know me. So I'll then go up to Robonovo and put my head in front of his head. OK.

All right. Now, if you're looking at the satellite, watching it. And so the golden arrows head appears as a period. Oh, god, no craters everywhere.

What am I looking at? Is this the moon? Oh, my god. That has something in it.

I think there's an antenna there. There might be aliens on the moon. Quickly, Robo, we need to. Oh, I go with an arrow.

Do you guys want to go to the land? I thought that was like a tail. No, it's totally real. You just take a boat.

Oh, well, submarine. You have to go under the water. Is Carl being sweet hair scoped again? Oh, god, please don't tell me you're in contact with that man again.

No, I actually don't know what he's up to. I should give him a call though. He could be a real help to us. I'm not afraid of pain in my ass.

What was his name? Hot Carl. Well, Cleveland Steamer. He was also Dutch writer for a while.

Wow. Does he? You know what? I'm not even going to ask.

I'm not even going to ask. Yeah, I don't know why you can't land on a name either. It seems a little weird. You want to get that branding in there and that synergy.

But he's not about that game, apparently. So you stick with something and you keep with it. Yeah, exactly. Just good dedication to the game.

OK. So back your bags. We're going to Atlantis. Knocks like points up in that area.

I need to go to the building real quick. Headquarters. I have a suit. We get so excited about it.

We're going to suit too. And I'll go to headquarters, not the mansion. No, it's not the mansion. OK.

That'd be too convenient. Exactly. Well, can we go there on the way? Like, I don't want to get this started.

We need to get this done pretty quick. Knocks is already on his phone. Is there an Uber for submarines? I'm not fighting a sub-boobur.

I said boob. I'll pull up the Atlantis submarine charter times. And see, the next one leaves. It leaves once a day at 5 PM.

And what time is it now? It's like 2. Oh, cool. So I mean, it's like $150 per person.

Holy shit. It's kind of a long trip to how many days? It's like a day and a half. How much is it to buy the company?

To buy the company? The company is not publicly traded. It's Atlantis, man. I'm pretty sure it's Atlantis.

I'm pretty sure that the company is a mythical area. Everything could be bought. The company does not look to be publicly traded. All right, all right, fine.

So I kind of got to go seep aside in the God. And hopefully I can convince him to let me fight Maximus, man, in the Olympic Games. Are you sure you can take him on a one-on-one fight? Well, maybe.

I don't know. I figured with you two, you know what? You three know. I could probably rig it in some way.

And I could make sure I win. We could just need to care again. I mean, like, bust in the out. Do some shit like that.

You said that he had all the powers of, like, the best man, the best, whatever. Yeah. So is it the best at getting his legs broken, too? Because I just think that's kind of part of the course.

I mean, probably. Eh, we'll see when we get there. Seems human. Still.

Why don't you guys go get the soup? I'm going to talk to your daughter. See if she wants to tag along. Oh.

And then I'll have to start paying her rent. Oh, OK. We'll do. Then we'll head to Atlantis.

All right, cool. All right. Slightly. So you're going back inside.

So you're going back inside. Back over to Dedi. You are in the back. You are firing guns.

Am I? I went up front. Oh, did you go with them? Yeah.

Oh, OK. Never mind them. All right. So you went with them.

So which direction are you going now? Well, I'd probably go back to my place to back at bag since I didn't bring anything to this meeting. OK. All right, cool.

You're going back to your place and Robonobo and Knox. You're going back to the company? Yes, please. Are you dressed in your outfit and as a robot monkey walking to this corporation in the middle of the day?

I feel like you keep saying this and I don't want to met a game. So yes. OK. Phil, are you calling hot Carl?

No, I'm not going to call it hot Carl. OK. You mentioned that you were going to call him. Yeah, we talked about him.

I'm not going to bring this dude to Atlantis with me. OK. Just wondering. Just wanted to know.

I know he's my bro from the gym, but still. This is something I got to do on my own. OK. Fair enough.

All right. So go narrow. You go in and you talk to future Knox. What do you want?

Hey, so the Union of Justice seems a little tough. There's a lot of members in the best heroes in the world. So yeah. So I'm going to try to circumvent all that.

And I'm going to go see Poseidon. See Poseidon will let me challenge Maximus Mann to some wrestling matches. I don't know what we're going to do. But you're going to try to get into the real Azolipic games.

Yeah. OK, fair enough. Do you want to come to Atlantis? Like not at all.

What? Why? I don't want to go there. I could use your help though.

With what? I don't know. Just scheming and shit. Don't you have your knocks for that?

Yeah, but dude, it's kind of a buzzkill, right? You know what I need to become. He doesn't care. Buzz.

He really doesn't. You and I, if I get this earlier, that's back on your way to your timeline. Here's the thing, though. I am busy searching for my mother.

So I need to do that. What's her name? I tell you. Why?
