1
00:00:12,005 --> 00:00:21,476
"What?" Mayor Hubbletree and Pirate Pedro looked stunned.

2
00:00:21,477 --> 00:00:25,324
Mr. Freaky blew his noses.

3
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:31,825
"You found Pedro's treasure? Are you sure it's buried at Monster Academy?"

4
00:00:31,826 --> 00:00:38,694
Ben nodded. He and the others quickly explained how they'd tracked down the treasure.

5
00:00:38,695 --> 00:00:45,065
Pedro looked excited. "You aren't just trying to fool an old pirate, are you?"

6
00:00:45,066 --> 00:00:51,960
"No, sir," Mog said. "We found your treasure, but . . ." He looked down.

7
00:00:51,961 --> 00:00:56,363
"We wondered . . . well . . . we wondered . . ."

8
00:00:56,364 --> 00:01:01,557
"If you'd donate it to our school!" Winnie finished for him.

9
00:01:01,558 --> 00:01:05,940
"Of course, I'll donate the treasure to the school," Pedro replied.

10
00:01:05,941 --> 00:01:11,801
"I'm an old skeleton now. And I'd be proud to help Monster Academy."

11
00:01:11,802 --> 00:01:15,506
Mr. Freaky's noses twitched with delight.

12
00:01:15,507 --> 00:01:22,885
"Wonderful!" he cried. "With this treasure we'll be able to make the repairs!"

13
00:01:22,886 --> 00:01:27,620
"Great work, young monsters," Mayor Hubbletree declared.

14
00:01:27,621 --> 00:01:30,915
"Now take us to the treasure!"

15
00:01:30,916 --> 00:01:34,817
"Er . . ." Winnie checked the magic compass.

16
00:01:34,818 --> 00:01:39,998
"We don't know exactly where it is, but we know we're close."

17
00:01:39,999 --> 00:01:44,791
Gaby glanced at the tree and then back at the school building.

18
00:01:44,792 --> 00:01:47,724
"It's got to be inside the school."

19
00:01:47,725 --> 00:01:50,948
"You mean <font color="#ffff00"><i>under</i></font> the school," Ben said.

20
00:01:50,949 --> 00:01:54,806
"It might not be easy to dig up the school building."

21
00:01:54,807 --> 00:01:56,761
"Now wait a minute, students.

22
00:01:56,762 --> 00:02:02,988
Nobody is going to dig up Monster Academy!" Mr. Freaky said.

23
00:02:02,989 --> 00:02:08,425
"Hmm." Mayor Hubbletree rubbed his chin.

24
00:02:08,426 --> 00:02:13,520
"Actually, Freaky, I have a wonderful idea.

25
00:02:13,521 --> 00:02:18,806
We can just knock down your school and dig until we find the treasure."

26
00:02:18,807 --> 00:02:24,218
Mr. Freaky turned pale. "Knock down the school?"

27
00:02:24,219 --> 00:02:27,034
"It's the easiest and fastest way.

28
00:02:27,035 --> 00:02:34,341
Besides," the mayor added with a laugh, "your school is already falling apart."

29
00:02:34,342 --> 00:02:39,137
"You can't destroy our school," Mog said.

30
00:02:39,138 --> 00:02:42,661
"Of course I can," Mayor Hubbletree said.

31
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:48,627
"People Place owns this land, in case you monsters have all forgotten.

32
00:02:48,628 --> 00:02:51,478
That makes the treasure mine.

33
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:56,315
But because I'm such a nice guy, I'll share it with you.

34
00:02:56,316 --> 00:03:04,061
After we flatten Monster Academy, I'll use some of the treasure to build you a nice, new school."

35
00:03:04,062 --> 00:03:07,722
"But we like <font color="#ffff00"><i>this</i></font> school!" Gaby blurted out.

36
00:03:07,723 --> 00:03:11,786
"And it'll take years to build a new Monster Academy."

37
00:03:11,787 --> 00:03:14,343
"Nonsense," the mayor said.

38
00:03:14,344 --> 00:03:17,886
"You'll like your new school much better than this dump.

39
00:03:17,887 --> 00:03:26,502
We'll get rid of that nasty cafeteria and the library full of cobwebs." He shivered.

40
00:03:26,503 --> 00:03:32,860
"Not to mention the leaky roof, peeling paint, and broken windows."

41
00:03:32,861 --> 00:03:35,945
He pulled out his phone and began tapping.

42
00:03:35,946 --> 00:03:41,712
"There! It's all arranged. I've contacted People Place Wrecking.

43
00:03:41,713 --> 00:03:46,204
The bulldozers will be here at sunrise."

44
00:03:46,205 --> 00:03:51,537
All the monsters gasped. "Sunrise?"

45
00:03:51,538 --> 00:03:59,209
"Oh no!" Mr. Freaky wailed. "This is terrible!"

46
00:03:59,210 --> 00:04:02,282
But Mayor Hubbletree was beaming.

47
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:06,823
"I'd better get some sleep.

48
00:04:06,824 --> 00:04:18,115
I want to be here at the crack of dawn when the bulldozers start rolling. Good night, everyone."

49
00:04:18,116 --> 00:04:24,500
With that, a limousine pulled up in front of the building and whisked the mayor away.

50
00:04:24,501 --> 00:04:29,388
The monsters stood on the steps in stunned silence for a moment.

51
00:04:29,389 --> 00:04:36,042
"I wish the office ogre were here right now," Mr. Freaky moaned.

52
00:04:36,043 --> 00:04:39,879
"Or Miss Bungle. She always knows what to do."

53
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,266
He glanced quickly at the students.

54
00:04:42,267 --> 00:04:48,222
"I'll be in my office, thinking, if you need me."

55
00:04:48,223 --> 00:04:50,995
He headed for the building entrance.

56
00:04:50,996 --> 00:04:58,930
"I'll call your parents to let them know you're staying at Monster Academy tonight for a special project."

57
00:04:58,931 --> 00:05:03,799
"This is awful," Mog said. "What are we going to do?"

58
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,018
Suddenly Pedro brightened.

59
00:05:06,019 --> 00:05:10,387
"I know! I'll gather my old pirate band!"

60
00:05:10,388 --> 00:05:13,492
He drew his sword and waved it.

61
00:05:13,493 --> 00:05:17,451
"We'll battle those bulldozers as if they were enemy ships.

62
00:05:17,452 --> 00:05:23,305
Don't worry, students! I'll be back at dawn with my crew to save the day!"

63
00:05:23,306 --> 00:05:26,508
Pedro hurried off into the darkness.

64
00:05:26,509 --> 00:05:33,810
"Whew!" Mog said. "That's a relief. The pirates are going to save Monster Academy."

65
00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:35,676
Winnie bit her lip.

66
00:05:35,677 --> 00:05:39,822
"I don't know, Mog. Pedro doesn't know anything about our school.

67
00:05:39,823 --> 00:05:42,479
Or the humans in People Place."

68
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,720
"Yeah," Gaby added.

69
00:05:44,721 --> 00:05:50,117
"And what if Mayor Hubbletree keeps the treasure for himself?"

70
00:05:50,118 --> 00:05:52,914
"I don't think he'd do that," Ben said.

71
00:05:52,915 --> 00:05:55,889
"But we can't count on the grown-ups to save our school.

72
00:05:55,890 --> 00:06:02,182
There's only one thing to do—find the treasure ourselves, before sunrise!"

73
00:06:02,183 --> 00:06:11,344
"Yes!" the others cried. They all ran into the school.

74
00:06:11,345 --> 00:06:18,377
"Based on the shadows in the painting, I think the treasure is buried on the east side of the building," Gaby said.

75
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:23,783
"That's what the golden compass says too!" Winnie said. "Let's go!"

76
00:06:23,784 --> 00:06:32,330
The compass led them down a dark hallway.

77
00:06:32,331 --> 00:06:39,252
"This way," Winnie said, pointing to the right. "We take this turn and—"

78
00:06:39,253 --> 00:06:44,517
<font color="#ffff00"><i>Boom!</i></font> She slammed hard into a wall.
