1 00:00:12,005 --> 00:00:22,100 After the humans finally had lunch, everyone headed outside to the soccer field. 2 00:00:22,101 --> 00:00:27,336 "We have a friendly game of soccer planned," explained Mr. Freaky. 3 00:00:27,337 --> 00:00:31,004 Ben saw Mayor Hubbletree's face brighten. 4 00:00:31,005 --> 00:00:34,199 "I didn't know monsters like soccer. 5 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,612 I played soccer in college—I was actually rather good at the game." 6 00:00:39,613 --> 00:00:46,045 Mr. Freaky beamed. "Wonderful! It's going to be very exciting!" 7 00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:50,164 Ben sat near his friends in the bleachers. 8 00:00:50,165 --> 00:00:56,074 He watched the Monster Academy soccer team walk onto the grass. 9 00:00:56,075 --> 00:01:00,796 The human team followed them. 10 00:01:00,797 --> 00:01:07,740 Mr. Gwarg was already there. A large bag sat beside him. 11 00:01:07,741 --> 00:01:11,470 "Listen up, monsters," said the gym teacher. 12 00:01:11,471 --> 00:01:17,296 "You're playing against humans today, so there are a few rule changes." 13 00:01:17,297 --> 00:01:19,973 A tiny goblin raised his hand. 14 00:01:19,974 --> 00:01:24,225 "We can still throw fireballs at each other, right?" 15 00:01:24,226 --> 00:01:28,051 A human player gulped. 16 00:01:28,052 --> 00:01:32,389 "Absolutely not," said Mr. Gwarg. 17 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:36,086 "The humans can't do that, so it wouldn't be fair. 18 00:01:36,087 --> 00:01:41,347 You also can't use claws, fangs, or any kind of magic." 19 00:01:41,348 --> 00:01:48,009 Zork huffed, "This game is going to be so boring." 20 00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:53,073 "It'll be just like regular soccer," said Mr. Gwarg. 21 00:01:53,074 --> 00:01:58,252 "But safer for the humans. Oh, and there's no flying." 22 00:01:58,253 --> 00:02:04,319 "What!" cried a monster with wings. "How can we play without flying?" 23 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,985 Mr. Gwarg folded his arms. 24 00:02:06,986 --> 00:02:14,454 "If the humans can play without flying, then so can you, Leo." 25 00:02:14,455 --> 00:02:21,438 "That's not a problem for me," said a worm monster. "I can't fly anyway." 26 00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:27,534 "You can't pop up from underground either, Francis," Mr. Gwarg said. 27 00:02:27,535 --> 00:02:31,946 "Boo," said the worm. 28 00:02:31,947 --> 00:02:35,894 Soon the players took their positions on the field. 29 00:02:35,895 --> 00:02:40,555 The monsters' goalie was an enormous green blob. 30 00:02:40,556 --> 00:02:47,353 "Hey, no fair!" shouted a human boy. "Your goalie fills the entire goal!" 31 00:02:47,354 --> 00:02:53,785 "Yeah," said a girl. "We should have two goalies to make it even!" 32 00:02:53,786 --> 00:02:59,516 "What!" said a fish monster. "Two of our players are zombies. 33 00:02:59,517 --> 00:03:03,980 You humans should lose two players if we're going to keep things even!" 34 00:03:03,981 --> 00:03:09,659 "No way!" said another girl. "You guys have a two-headed monster! 35 00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:12,550 She should count as two players!" 36 00:03:12,551 --> 00:03:19,298 Mr. Gwarg blew his whistle. "Let's start the game!" 37 00:03:19,299 --> 00:03:25,379 The gym teacher carried the bag to the center of the field and pulled out the game ball. 38 00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:31,721 Wiggling tentacles covered it, and electrical sparks danced across its surface. 39 00:03:31,722 --> 00:03:41,895 The human players shrieked and ran off the field. 40 00:03:41,896 --> 00:03:45,704 "What is that thing?" cried Mayor Hubbletree. 41 00:03:45,705 --> 00:03:51,794 Mr. Freaky blinked in surprise. "It's a soccer ball, Mayor. 42 00:03:51,795 --> 00:03:54,670 I thought you said you used to play?" 43 00:03:54,671 --> 00:03:58,689 "That's not a soccer ball, Freaky!" the mayor shouted. 44 00:03:58,690 --> 00:04:04,143 "That's a disgusting—Oh, never mind. This whole trip is a disaster." 45 00:04:04,144 --> 00:04:09,360 A moment later a human player ran back from the bus with a new soccer ball. 46 00:04:09,361 --> 00:04:14,309 Ben saw that this one had no tentacles or electrical sparks. 47 00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:19,404 "We're using our ball for the game!" Mayor Hubbletree snapped. 48 00:04:19,405 --> 00:04:28,032 A few monster players started to argue, but Mr. Gwarg shot them a look. 49 00:04:28,033 --> 00:04:33,678 "Fine," the gym teacher told the mayor. 50 00:04:33,679 --> 00:04:39,291 A tall boy quickly got control of the ball. 51 00:04:39,292 --> 00:04:43,143 He passed it to a girl up the field. 52 00:04:43,144 --> 00:04:48,567 "That's Rebecca," said Dave. "She's really good at soccer." 53 00:04:48,568 --> 00:04:51,746 Rebecca dribbled the ball fast. 54 00:04:51,747 --> 00:04:57,937 Leo ran in front of her, but Rebecca got the ball past him and continued down the field. 55 00:04:57,938 --> 00:05:02,908 She rushed past the two zombie defenders and took a shot. 56 00:05:02,909 --> 00:05:08,035 The goalie blob lunged toward the ball, but he was too slow. 57 00:05:08,036 --> 00:05:13,678 The ball went past him, and the humans cheered. 58 00:05:13,679 --> 00:05:18,604 "Score one for the humans!" shouted Mr. Gwarg. 59 00:05:18,605 --> 00:05:20,803 The monsters had the ball now. 60 00:05:20,804 --> 00:05:25,156 The tiny goblin ran toward three large human players. 61 00:05:25,157 --> 00:05:30,691 Keeping perfect control of the ball, the goblin scooted between a player's feet. 62 00:05:30,692 --> 00:05:33,428 "Hey!" the kid yelled. 63 00:05:33,429 --> 00:05:36,925 The goblin reached the humans' goal and shot. 64 00:05:36,926 --> 00:05:41,368 The goalie caught the ball and threw it toward a player nearby. 65 00:05:41,369 --> 00:05:44,883 The boy dribbled the ball past Leo. 66 00:05:44,884 --> 00:05:49,297 The monster flapped his wings and flew after the boy. 67 00:05:49,298 --> 00:05:55,037 Mr. Gwarg blew his whistle. "No flying!" 68 00:05:55,038 --> 00:05:59,638 "Sorry!" said Leo, dropping back to the ground. 69 00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:03,938 The goblin took the ball from the boy and headed back up the field. 70 00:06:03,939 --> 00:06:10,279 A moment later a big human kid charged toward the goblin, knocking him over. 71 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:15,016 "Ow!" cried the goblin. "No fair!" 72 00:06:15,017 --> 00:06:18,914 "Sure, it's fair!" the kid called over his shoulder. 73 00:06:18,915 --> 00:06:21,520 "You can check in— Oof!" 74 00:06:21,521 --> 00:06:25,177 Francis had popped out of the ground, tripping the kid. 75 00:06:25,178 --> 00:06:30,480 Mr. Gwarg blew his whistle again. "Francis!" 76 00:06:30,481 --> 00:06:33,389 "Sorry!" called the worm. 77 00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:39,107 Now Rebecca had the ball. She headed down the field and took another shot. 78 00:06:39,108 --> 00:06:41,816 The ball knocked over a zombie. 79 00:06:41,817 --> 00:06:45,425 In the bleachers Waldo shook his head. 80 00:06:45,426 --> 00:06:48,942 "How did those zombies ever get on the team?" 81 00:06:48,943 --> 00:06:52,243 Ben shrugged. "Don't ask me." 82 00:06:52,244 --> 00:06:56,158 The ball was still sitting in the grass near the fallen zombie. 83 00:06:56,159 --> 00:07:07,838 As Rebecca ran to it, light flashed—and the ball turned into a gigantic spider!
