VProfessor Venomous
You had better have a good explanation for this.
FFink
Yeah! Coconut cream?! What were you thinking?!
Professor, I-I— I… Ooooohh! I’ll destroy those brats for ruining dessert!
Oh! Are we destroying brats?
Are having dessert? [A pie is thrown at him] Ugh! [Lord Boxman catches him] Thanks, Dad. [Lord Boxman bends him] Ooh!
[Rips his coat and shirt and puts his tie around his head] And now you’re trapped! [Fires the pies which pelts the gang]
VProfessor Venomous
Boxman!
Oh! Professor, please! I-I can explain! I can explain! I can— I can— Okay, I can’t explain. But this was not the way it was supposed—
VProfessor Venomous
[Covers his mouth] May I?
VProfessor Venomous
Dinner parties are just so… stuffy. [Loads the bazooka] But vanquishing heroes— now, that’s much more exciting!
FFink
[On top of the bazooka] Fire!
FFink
[Laughs] [Falls off] Whoa! Oof!
VProfessor Venomous
I have to be honest, Boxman. I agreed to come tonight with plans to sever our business relationship after dinner.
VProfessor Venomous
You seemed too distracted lately. Though, now I understand why that was. Hard to find folks who value the sport in squashing heroes. And if all your robots can be as fun as this one, then I’ll gladly order 1,000 of them!
You… still… want my robots? You still… [Whimpers] …want me?
Just… Big hug! [Thinking] Oh, Boxy! You really can have it all. [Fink triggers a punching glove to him] Waughhhh!
RRad
Would a loser get to travel the open air in a vehicle made of delicious pie? I don’t think so. [Eats the pie]
RKRad and K.O.
Mr. Gar, Mr. Gar!
RRad
There's this new game at the arcade called "The Face of Fear". It makes you face your biggest fears, and adjusts your fear resistance stat depending on how well you do! Look how fearless we've become. [shows Mr. Gar his and K.O.'s Pow Cards]
10? 15? (growls) You kids and your videos game, pah! I never needed some cockamamie machine to help me face my own fears.
What's your fear resistance, Mr. Gar? I bet it's pretty high.
I haven't checked in a while, it's probably through the roof by now... [pulls out his Pow Card and checks his stats] It's...8?!
RKRad, K.O., and Enid
8?!
This is absurd! I-I guess I haven't updated it in a while... Not since I left P.O.I.- (laughs nervously) What I mean to say was, there'd be no point in me checking, since I'm impervious to fear. Heh, heh.
Then I guess you wouldn't be afraid of playing the game and updating your info?
RRad
Rad rocket’s on the roof and ready to roll. [Launches a rocket] Blorp! [Face plants on his camera] Rad rocket’s on the roof--
(laughs harder) [Titlecard appears] [continues laughing as she shows the video to K.O.]
RORad on video
Rad rocket’s on the roof and ready to roll. Blorp!
[Drops his broom] Oh, no! Rad, you accidentally forgot to cut out the part where you fall through the roof!
RRad
[On the roof] Are you kidding? [levitates off the roof] Whoa! This video is a work of art, K.O.. Every detail is perfect. The setup, the unexpected nature of the fall, the way the rocket launch gets cut off at the end… Mwah! You couldn’t plan something that good.
I got to hand it to you, Rad. I can’t not share this.
RRad
See, K.O.? The joke may be on me, but it’s still my joke. [A part of the roof fall on him.] Blorp!
(laughs) You’re on a roll today.
RRad
Please tell me you got that on video.
EElodie
Greetings, Lakewood Plaze! Elodie has arrived!
Wow! It’s really Elodie. [gets his Elodie Pow Card out] She goes to POINT Prep Academy. They only allow the best of the best. Gee. I want to apply there someday.
Huh? [slides off the counter and wears a disguise and read a magazine]
EElodie
Thank you. Just passing through my favorite hero shop to sign some autographs!
EElodie
[sees Enid in the photo] (gasps) [Tosses the photo] Enid.
EElodie
Is this what you’ve been up to all this time? Oh, how... quaint. [Crowd grabs her as they chant her name] Well, toodles!
Grrrr! (gags) I’m taking a break. I’ll be out back. [she vanishes and a log with shades takes her place]
Rad, do you know what’s going on?
Something’s wrong with Enid. Elodie showed up, and she started acting all funny.
RRad
Well, there’s only one way to find out. We just got to ask her until she tells us. Trust me, K.O.. Subtlety is my middle name. [enters the break room] Hey, Enid! What’s the deal with you and Elodie?! [Enid smacks him offscreen] Unh! [he crashes into a pile of boxes while a small dinosaur appears]
[Thinking] Hmm. Maybe it’d be better to ask Elodie about this.
CCupid
Love conquers all.
CCupid
Two people in this room have unresolved romantic tension.
PPotato
Actually, we're just taking things slow.
CCupid
It's you two I'm here for. What's your deal?!
(chuckles) Me and Rad? (laughs) Never. Pssh.
RRad
Never?! That's a funny way to say, "That one time".
You know as well as I do that middle school dating is stricken from the record!
What?! Slow down. You guys dated? Each other?!
It was just one date, K.O. (sighs) It was a long time ago.
Get ready for an extra-special beatdown!
RRad
I know, I know. I’m your knight in shining armor. The best of the best. The biceps and the triceps…
Hyah! Hyah! [Darrell falls to the ground]
Rad, you’re missing the action!
RRad
[Sets K.O. down] All right, I’m coming. [Hovers] Yeesh.
[Thinking] I spend all my time with cool heroes at the plaza now, but I’m still getting thrashed by Darrells? Why can’t I be strong like Rad and Enid? And how could I call myself a hero when I can’t even shoot a powerfist when I need it?
We didn’t miss you. We hit you. A lot. Remember?
RRad
[Laughs] Whoa! Good one, Enid. Did you get that, K.O.? [Notices K.O. wasn’t in the shot] K.O.?
[Laughs] Oh, boy. I set you up for that one. It’s cool, though. ‘Cause this time… [Laughs] Oh, just wait. [Turns into a bigger version of himself] This time, I’m gonna get the last laugh! [Launches out several weapons to use] Pretty impressive, huh? Lucky for me, though, I won’t even need to pull punches. [Gets a car and smashes it] Once this cannon charges up, just one blast, and your precious plaza will be obliterated! [Fires up cannon]
RRad
I think we might need to get some help for this one.
RRad
[Chuckles nervously] That’s another joke, right?
We’ll never make it back in time. Are you with me or not?
This is it, Lakewood losers! [Enid and Rad prepares] Now… prepare to— [A mysterious figure slices Darrell in half and blows up]
RRad
Whoa. [Darrell’s parts falls out and shows K.O.’s alter-ego form, T.K.O.] Dude! That was amazing!
That’s putting it lightly. How did you do that, K.O.?
(yawns) Man, it's sure been quiet, huh, guys?
Oh, finally, a custom-- aah!
What do you want, Boxman?
[takes her foot back] Explain.
Ahemp. (clears throat) Mi mi mi mi mi miiii. I, uh, Lord Boxman-- me, that is, hereby...vow...to-oo-oo-oo-oo... [High-pitched voice] stop attacking the plaza. [Normal voice] Wooow! [gets ready to leave] That felt great to get that off of my che--
RRad
[stops him] Wait a sec! Could you repeat that last part?
D'oh! My bosses say that I can't go a day without attacking you. But! [holds up a countdown clock] Look at that! One minute left!
Oh, come on. It's 'cause you failed so many times, isn't it?
Nooooo-uh! It's just-- It's driving me crazy and my bosses crazy. So there! Pbbt!
W-what happens if you did attack us?
Lord Boxman': I get fired and my business shuts down, why?
(sarcastically) Oh, that's so sad. One moment. [The trio gets into a huddle.] If Boxman attacks us, he'll get fired and leave us alone! [They turn back towards him.] Fight me, Buttman!
KOK.O., Rad, and Enid
Robots blow!
[hears something on the phone] What's that? The president of the universe says all boxes must be replaced with...
KOK.O., Rad, and Enid
Best friends?! Friendship! Friendship! Friendship! Wow! Yayyyyyyyy! (laughing)
I have better things to do now than to waste time on you piddling fools. (chuckles) So long, clown babies! Boxman out. (howls) [goes outside]
You know, maybe it's for the best. I mean, I don't wanna be the reason that Boxman loses his job.
RRad
You're right, Enid. Even someone like him doesn't deserve unemployment, just 'cause he's a weird old man.
We are all very thoughtful and kind, even to our enemies.
RRad
Bring it in for a big friend hug.
(laughs evilly) You horrible little brats! [tips over a gumball machine] Ha-ha-ha-ha! You know what I hate? [knocks some jars off of a shelf] I-I hate your niceness! He-he. [gets up on the counter and spins around] Ooh, and I hate your friendliness! (chuckles) [Enid gags] I hate you kids! [kicks the store's rug] I hate this bodega! [kicks it again] I hate Lakewood Plaza Turbo! Bwahaha, yes I do! [runs off laughing hysterically]
Looks like our normal approach isn't working.
RRad
She's too unpredictable. It's like fighting a wild animal.
(gasps) That's it! In times of need, the hero's noble animal companion always sweeps in to win the day! (whistles) Baby Teeth, come forth!
Hmm. Well...maybe we could become animals.
RRad
"Become" animals? How would we do that?
It's simple. You just need to be bitten by a were-animal.
KOK.O., Rad, and Enid
Dendy!
RRad
What were you doing in my van...?
(shows hologram explaining her speech) A were-animal's fangs secrete a special were-enzyme that activates the bitten's inner beast.
RRad
(chuckles) I think you mean, "Where is animal", K.O.
(laughs, snorts) Yeah, my bad.
(looking at Crinkly Wrinkly asleep on a bench a few feet away) There animal! Let's get bit.
RKRad and K.O.
(nod) Hmm!
KOK.O., Rad, and Enid
Come on! Bite us! Bite us! Bite us! Bite us!
(wakes up, startled) Whaaat?! (wheezes)
Look, I know it sounds strange, but I promise you it's for a good reason-- Owww! (she lifts her arm and Crinkly Wrinkly is biting down on it) Ugh! Get off me, you dusty little creep!
Why, thank ya, sonny! (bites K.O. on the nose)
RRad
Aaaah! (throws him off)
(lands on bottom) Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! I've been wanting to do that for ages!
Wait, you wanted to bite us?!
You weren't supposed to like it!
(rubs her arm in disgust) Ugh! Blek!
RRad
That cannot be legal.
Ho Ho Ho! Enjoy your cuuuuurse!
Your garbage curse didn't even work, you dank old pillowcase!!!
(points to her) Enid...you have a new ponytail! On your butt!
(notices) Oh! Cute! But, I don't think it's a ponytail. It's more of a--
(groans, grunts) A bunny! (wiggles her toes) It must be because I'm so... (jumps up in the air and clicks her heels) quick on my feet!
RRad
Whoa, nice! If your inner animal is fast, then mine must be something totally macho. Like a classic werewolf! (starts growing fur and claws; sprouts a tail) Yeah! I can feel it! (rips shirt off, laughs, then gets a collar with a bell on it) Oh. A cat? Nice. Must be because I'm so... (licks his hand and arm, then slicks back his hair) cleaaan.
Wow! Wow, wow, wow! You guys look so cool! (sprouts a dog's tail) Ah! I can't wait to find out what I'm gonna be!
Of course he's a puppy! (pets K.O. on his head as he grows dog ears and fur) It's perfect, because he's such a good boy!
RRad
(starts petting him too) Yeah, who's a good boy?!
EREnid and Rad
Yes, you are!
(remembering) Oh, right. Mikayla. Time to use our animal powers to put this monkey business to an end.
RRad
(while pinned to the ground by Mikayla) Ohhh, she's a monkey? I thought she was some kind of jaguar...guitar...lizard...
(as she zooms by) Whoooo cares?
RRad
Well, I'm a little curious.
RRad
Enid's house should be on this block.
(while looking through the glove compartment) How do you know where Enid lives?
RRad
I took a look at her personnel file, that's how.
RRad
Then I guess you don't want to know any super cool secret facts about Enid, like her favorite color?
RRad
(stops the van, looks out the window) K.O., I think this is it!
(gasps) Look, here she comes!
RRad
Wait, she's not stopping.
Whoa! Enid's going trick-or-treating without us?
RRad
Enid's mom is...a hot vampire?
RRad
And her dad is a hot werewolf?
Enid's parents are ninjas and monsters?
RRad
I don't think they're ninjas.
But, why would Enid lie to us?
(suddenly appearing at the window) 'Cause it's none of your business, you goons.
Shh! You guys need to get out of here.
You said your parents were busy ninjas, but they were just kissing and aren't ninjas.
My family is embarrassing and I like to keep my private life private. So, you need to go before they see you and--
WWilhamena
(arrives at the window) Enid! You have guests! Please join us for dinner.
KOK.O. and Rad
We'd love to!
Dendy! Dendy, Dendy, Dendy, Dendy! We got... we got problems!
Hmm. I understand your predicament. (pointing to Gar) Mr. Gar here is overcompensating for his receding hairline with muscles.
(pointing to Rad) Rad is pretending to be super macho, even though he's a big softy.
RRad
(embarrassed) Th-That's not true!
(pointing to the broken mop) We have a cleaning apparatus with a tacky design.
(pointing to Enid who is acting indifferent while picking her nose) Or perhaps, is it how Enid acts super cool because she's internally struggling with her identity.
(embarrassed and puffing her cheeks out) Uh, uh, uh... Absolutely not!
The dang mop is malfunctioning!
RRad
Stupid mobile suburbs! [He and Red enter Rumble Range] Now that we’re out of that maze, there’s no way I’ll lose. [Catches up to Red]
RARed Action
Man, you must like the taste of my dust!
RRad
[Licks the dust] Not bad. Could use some more debris an-- Hey! (grumbles) I’ll show you! [Tries to move his stick-shift higher] No! I’m already going as fayste as I can! [Slowing down] We’re already going through Rumble Range! At this rate, Red’s gonna win. Eh. What the-- [Sees the Dendysoft Help System] I don’t remember adding this. [Pushes a button where a holographic form of Dendy appears.]
RRad
Aah! Demon! Don’t eat-- Dendy?!
A facsimile of Dendy, and as such, I’m programmed to help in a variety of ways.
RRad
You snuck into my van and messed with my stuff?!
RRad
I don’t want your help! [Smashes the help system] I just gotta… um… That’s it! The volcano! While she’s comin’ round the mountain, I’ll be going over it. I’m a smart booooooy! [Drives to the volcano]
RRad
Time to fly. Launching the Rad Wing. [The wing, which is just a giant paper airplane, replaces the rocket launcher. Flies over the volcano.] Engaging thrusters. Y-e-e-es! I did it! I-- [The thruster burns the wing.] Noooooooooo! [The van falls into the volcano, plummeting to the lava.] Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Perhaps I can be of assistance.
RRad
Demon! Dendy? How long have you been there?
RRad
[grabs Dendy] Well, don’t just sit there adorably. Help!
RRad
Oh, Dendy, I shouldn’t have refused your help before. And now it’s my fault we’re gonna take a lava bath. I’ll do anything to atone.
Stick your finger in the ignition.
RRad
Okay-- if it’ll atone.
No, Radicles. You can use your beam power to fuel the zero-point energy engine I secretly installed.
RRad
Oh, okay. That makes sense. [Takes off the keys and stick his finger to the ignition and uses his beam power. The van levitates away from the lava.] I did it! I did it, I did it, I did it!
Aren’t you forgetting something?
RRad
Oh, yeah. Y-You, uh… helped.
RRad
(gasps deeply) [Drives around the volcano] But there’s no way we’ll catch up! [His van flies through]
That’s not entirely true.
[Waves flags] Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
I may have made some more secret mods to your van. [Pushes the faystest button to upgrade Rad’s van.]
RRad
Why aren’t we stopping?!
I had counted on you accepting my help much sooner!
[Takes off sunglasses] Rad!
EKEnid, K.O., and Red Action
Whew!
RRad
(groans) Wha… My van!
Do not worry, Radicles. We will repair your van. Besides, you won the race.
RRad
No, Dendy. We won. Did we-- Did we blow up the bodega?
[Whispering] Shh! Don’t draw attention to us.
Alright, Rad and Enid, are you ready for another action-packed day of protecting our hero plaza from evil robots?
RRad
Sorry, K.O., we stayed up all night playing videos game. I'm so tired, I don't care what happens. I'm gonna sleep through all of it! (snores)
Bu-but… working at Gar's means we must always be alert! You never know when a legendary hero might 3D blast through our doors!
