I still can't figure out why they didn't take anything.
But they did; a Golden Spider with incredible powers; in fact, it is the source of my powers.

(narrating) ...This story belongs to Kweku Anansi, as do all stories.
[Anansi uses his powers to illustrate to Static the origins of his powers: first, planets appear, along with the Earth, before zooming in on the heart of Africa. A birds-eye-view of a rainforest is shown, with a flock of birds flying over it, a bird's wing passes across the screen and the scene changes with angle now facing the sky above the jungle, in which a spider's web is shown reaching all corners of the sky, with a large yellow and red spider with six legs and a pair of arms, walking on it.]
(narrating) Once, there was a very clever spider, called Kweku Anansi, who wished to have the power of storytelling...
[Circles of shimmering lights--the Sky King--appear in the sky above where Kweku Anansi stands on his web, drawing his attention up.]
(narrating) ...The Sky King, who owned all things, made a bargain with Kweku; "Bring me three evil-doers and in return, I will grant you that power." So brave Kweku set out to bring the Sky King what he asked for....
[Scene changes, showing a Hornet as it flies into a calabash gourd held by Kweku Anansi, who then shuts the lid down, trapping the Hornet inside. Kweku Anansi holds the gourd up in triumph.]
(narrating) ...Kweku tricked Mmoboro, The Stinging Hornet, into a gourd...
[Scene changes to a close-up of a snake's head before zooming out to show that the snake has been bound to a long, thick piece of wood standing out of the ground. Kweku Anansi flexes both his arms in triumph.]
(narrating) ...Kweku tricked Onini, The Bullying Python, and tied him to a stick...
[Scene changes to a close-up of a leopard's face, before zooming out to show the Leopard walking on the jungle floor just before the mighty jungle cat falls down into a deep pit. Kweku Anansi looks into the pit to see that he has successfuly captured Oseba.]
(narrating) ...Kweku tricked Oseba, The Greedy Leopard, who fell into a pit.
[As Kweku Anansi was looking down into the pit, the circles of shimmering lights that represent the appearance of The Sky King become visible in the sky above Kweku Anansi, ready to collect the three evil-doers he charged Kweku Anansi with capturing and bestows Kweku Anansi with the power of storytelling as he promised.]
(narrating) The Sky King was pleased. He granted the spider his request. And with the power of Storytelling came the power of Illusion.
Is the gold spider Kweku?
No--Kweku made the gold spider to hold his powers, (Kweku Anansi forms the gold spider in his hands as he his endowed with his new powers,) and each generation passed those powers from one hero to the next. (Scene changes to show Africa) But the original spider was lost for centuries, (Dr. Anokye's face is now shown with Africa,) until Dr. Anokye found it again in the Ashanti ruins.
What happens if Oseba gets it?
He could drain my powers back into the spider--but worse he would have powers equal to mine.
GGear
(to Sharon) Oh! Don't worry, Ma'am, the boy who with you when you were attacked is just fine. I saw to that.
GGear
Pictures don't lie, V.
Oh, no? Then, what about the one you made on your computer with a poodle's head and Sharon's body?
GGear
Heh. That did look pretty real.
(angrily) You can do what you want to me, but NOT to my friend!
Late night robbery sweeps Dakota. (Reading from a newspaper) Police unable to catch mystery thieves. Yeah, me neither.
Gear: Static!
[Static wakes up]
Uh! What!
GGear
You fell asleep again like you did in chemistry class. Well ... at least you're not lighting a Bunsen Burner this time.
I guess I'm not cut out for these all-nighters. I don't know how Batman does it.
GGear
Eh, in real life, he's probably some rich guy who gets to sleep all day... (Virgil looks nervous) Wait a minute, he is, isn't he?!
I'm not saying anything.
(Finding out that the dark matter machine is being placed at the gas station)Our own headquarters? We should of gotten a big guard dog to watch it, or at least a Chihuahua with some attitude.
Whoo-hoo! Now this is what I call a hot car!
Coincidentally, this is also what the police call a 'hot car'.
Static, can't a guy even go for a joy ride anymore?
Sure. Drop you off at County lockup?
This stuff's some kind of high-tech stupid somethin' or other.
Can I quote you on that, Professor?
Now you're usin' your head.
Not really. I just like to blow stuff up.
How's your shoulder?
Fine. How's your stupid leg?
Fine.
When I was a kid I was in a hospital for two years. I don't do hospitals.
If we can't get that key and unlock ourselves, we're both gonna be in here a lot longer than two years.
Gear! [He zaps the straps to release him. He grabs Gear and shakes him gently.) Gear, can you hear me?!
GGear
[groans and opens his eyes] Hey... what brings you here?
[grins widely, relieved that he's alright] I heard there was gonna be free ice cream.
EAEdwin Alva Sr.
I can't thank you enough for what you've done.
I didn't do it for you Alva. I did it because it was right.
Yeah. You should try it.
