Complete story — includes the ending

The Ventures attend the funeral of Rusty's old friend Mike Sorayama. His mechanical coffin is rigged to kidnap Brock, Pete, Rusty, and Ünderbheit, all of whom he knew in college. Having faked his death, Sorayama explains that all of them hurt his chances of asking out his crush in one way or another, and Brock escapes using Ünderbheit's metal jaw. The boys call Jonas's old friends, Team Venture, for help, including the suave Colonel Gentleman, the violent Action Man, and the super-strong Kano. Team Venture locates Sorayama, destroying and disguising themselves as his robots, only for Brock to beat them up, accidentally dispatching Sorayama in the process. The Ventures discover that Sorayama is actually a robot and the real Sorayama is dead, leaving and forgetting Pete and Ünderbheit. Post-credits scene: In a flashback, Brock, Rusty's college roommate, leaves school to join the army and informs him of Jonas's death.
