Announcer: WELL, HERE WE ARE
AT THE WORLD DOME WHERE THE RAZEROIDS
ARE TAKING ON THE ACME RANGERS
AND THEIR STAR PLAYER TRICK DALEY.
Sypher: TRICK, YO, TRICK.
DRAKE SYPHER, YOUR NEW BACK-UP.
JUST WANTED TO SAY IT'S AWESOME
TO BE PLAYING WITH YOU, MAN.
JUST AWESOME.
UM, YOU'RE WHO AGAIN?
SYPHER. HIGH FIVE, MAN.
GAME TIME.
Announcer: AS WE START THE FOURTH QUARTER,
THE ACME RANGERS ARE IN THE LEAD.
MR. LEGHORN IS PREPARED TO GRABZOOKA
THE LAST BALL OUT IN THIS ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN
BETWEEN MAN AND MACHINE.
THE RAZEROIDS HAVE YET TO BE DEFEATED
BY ANY HUMAN COMPETITION.
TRICK DALEY AND THE ACME RANGERS
HAVE THEIR WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM.
AND THE BASHING HAS BEGUN.
TRICK DALEY AND RAZER RENALDO ARE GOIN' AT IT.
NUMBER 7 DRIVES THE BALL. IT'S A GOOD PASS.
IT'S HEADED FOR TRICK DALEY.
AND HE'S GOT IT!
TRICK DALEY CATCHES A PERFECT PASS.
OH, NO. NO, WAIT.
HE'S--HE'S SMASHING HIS OWN PLAYERS.
HE'S COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL,
AND THE RAZEROIDS INTERCEPT THE BALL.
RAZER RENALDO SHOOTS.
IT'S GOING, GOING...
AND HE SCORES!
THE GAME IS TIED.
NOW FOLKS, A TRICK DALEY FUMBLE
COULD LEAD US INTO OVERTIME.
IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'LL BE IT FOR HIM.
COACH WAVERLEY IS SIGNALING FOR A SUBSTITUTION.
WELL, TRICK CERTAINLY HASN'T BEEN
ON TOP OF HIS GAME SO FAR, HAS HE, ACE?
I MEAN, HE'S BEEN MISSING EVERY SHOT
AND CRASHING INTO OTHER PLAYERS.
MAN, I LOVE THIS GUY, BUT HE STINKS TONIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE, COACH.
IT'S LIKE I FORGOT HOW TO PLAY.
SYPHER, YOU'RE IN.
Announcer: AND HERE COMES NUMBER 12,
DRAKE SYPHER.
SYPHER JOINS THE ACTION
AS THE RAZEROIDS NOW CONTROL THE BALL.
TURGOD SHOOTS.
INTERCEPTED BY SYPHER.
AND THE RAZEROIDS ARE IN HOT PURSUIT.
IF SYPHER SCORES, THIS COULD BE
THE FIRST DEFEAT FOR THE BIONIC MASHERS.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT AS SYPHER MANEUVERS AROUND.
I'VE ONLY SEEN RIDING LIKE THIS
FROM TRICK DALEY.
OH, AND HE SHOOTS,
USING THE BOOMERANG RICOCHET SHOT,
AND HE SCORES!
THE RANGERS WIN THE GAME!
[CHEERING]
FANTASTIC. TREMENDOUS.
YOU BETTER MOVE OVER, TRICK DALEY,
'CAUSE WE GOT OURSELVES A NEW STAR,
AND I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE HEARING A LOT MORE
ABOUT THIS YOUNG MAN,
THE UNSTOPPABLE DRAKE SYPHER.
HEY, I KNOW YOU GUYS.
WE JUST WANNA TELL YOU IT WAS SO COOL
THE WAY YOU BLASTED THOSE GOALS
AND SNAGGED THOSE INTERCEPTIONS,
AND I WANNA JOIN YOUR FAN CLUB, AND TELL ME,
DO YOU GET DIZZY UP THERE SOMETIMES?
THE WAY YOU SPIN ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND
UP THERE ON THAT BIKE OF YOURS,
BECAUSE, I MEAN, YOU ARE COLOSSAL, FANTASTIC,
TREMENDOUS, STUPENDOUS.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE VERY GOOD.
WELL, I'M STOKED YOU'RE FANS,
BUT I WISH I COULD DO WHAT YOU DO.
I MEAN, YOU'RE REAL SUPERHEROES.
IT'S GREAT TO MEET YOU.
UHH.
YOU, TOO.
YAAH!
LATER.
UM, ACE? I'M NOT FEELING TOO GOOD.
YEAH, ME NEITHER.
I THINK THAT LAST ACME DOG DID ME IN.
UHH.
ACE, I-I CAN'T FLY,
AND LISTEN TO MY VOICE.
IT'S SOUNDS SO--
NORMAL.
Narrator: IN THE YEAR 2772,
A METEOR STRIKES THE CITY PLANET OF ACMETROPOLIS,
KNOCKING IT OFF ITS AXIS.
THIS COSMIC EVENT RELEASES SUPERNATURAL FORCES,
UNLEASHING A NEW KIND OF HERO--
THE LOONATICS.
Tech: OK, REV. START SPRINTING.
THIS MACHINE WILL MEASURE YOUR STEPS PER HOUR.
THAT'S AS FAST AS I CAN GO.
AM CRAMPING NOW
AND PAIN.
[CRASH]
HMM. WELL, REV,
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE MACHINE IS WORKING.
THE BAD NEWS IS THAT YOU'RE NOT.
36 MILES PER HOUR?
ACTUALLY, 18.
I DOUBLED IT TO BE NICE.
[HUMMING]
SHOOT YOUR POWER PEEPERS AT THESE, ACE.
COME ON, TECH. I'VE TRIED THIS.
AH, OK. HERE GOES.
[GRUNTS]
THANKS, SLAM.
I WAS STARTING TO GET A HEADACHE.
I'M AFRAID THERE'S NO DENYING IT, ACE.
BOTH YOU AND REV ARE
NO LONGER IN POSSESSION OF YOUR SUPER POWERS.
YEAH, BUT CHECK THIS OUT.
HA! HA HA! HA!
YOU CAN TAKE AWAY MY POWERS,
BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY MY MOVES.
EXACTLY. YOU'VE STILL GOT THE MOVES THAT YOU HAD
BEFORE YOU GOT YOUR SUPER POWERS,
AND REV CAN STILL RUN LIKE A NORMAL ROAD RUNNER.
WHATEVER DID THIS MUST NOT HAVE AFFECTED
YOUR NATURAL ABILITIES.
OH, UM, WELL, THAT'S-- THAT'S, UH...
YEAH, WELL, WHO NEEDS SUPER POWERS ANYWAY,
RIGHT, REV?
YOU KNOW THE LAST TIME I CHECKED,
SUPERHEROES NEED SUPER POWERS.
YOU GUYS WERE THE BEST OF US,
BUT UNTIL YOU'RE BETTER, I THINK
IT'S TIME FOR A NEW LEADER.
Zodavia: THAT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA, DOC.
IT IS? ACE,
UNTIL WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR ENHANCED ABILITIES...
SEE? EVEN THE BOSS LADY AGREES WITH ME.
YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT IN THE FIELD
AND NEITHER SHOULD REV.
YOUR REPLACEMENT WILL HAVE TO BE
SMART, COURAGEOUS, COOL UNDER PRESSURE,
AND HAVE EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP SKILLS,
NOT TO MENTION A DAZZLING SMILE.
ME.
THERE REALLY IS ONLY ONE CLEAR CHOICE.
LEXI, I'M COUNTING ON YOU.
ALL OVER IT, BOSS.
AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BE FAST.
I JUST RECEIVED THIS REPORT THAT THE DAM
FOR THE CENTRAL ACMETROPOLIS RESERVOIR
IS ABOUT TO BURST.
BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER
WILL RUSH DOWN RIVER
AND FLOOD THIS CAMPGROUND FULL OF TOURISTS.
THERE'S NO TIME TO EVACUATE.
LEXI, TAKE SLAM AND DUCK.
GOOD LUCK. ZODAVIA OUT.
YOU HEARD HER. LET'S JET.
[SLAM MUMBLING]
I HAVE A DAZZLING SMILE.
CHECK IT OUT.
Duck: HEY, I THOUGHT SHE SAID THIS DAM
WAS ABOUT TO BURST.
[SLAM MUMBLING]
WHATEVER, GUYS. LET'S BUST A MOVE.
Tourists: [SCREAMING]
Tourist: COME ON, YOU GUYS.
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
WATCH AND LEARN, LEXI.
THE BOULDER EXPRESS TO THE RESCUE.
Lexi: LOOKS LIKE THE BOULDER EXPRESS
TOOK A DIVE.
OH, WELL. AT LEAST DUCKS CAN SWIM.
TIME TO GET SLAMMIN'.
[GRUMBLES]
Tourist: HELP!
SOMEONE HELP ME!
GOTCHA.
STAND DOWN, SUPER DUDES.
THERE'S A NEW HERO IN TOWN.
WHO IS THAT GUY?
[GRUMBLES]
THE NAME'S SYPHER,
AND I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET
THE HOTTEST SUPERHERO IN ACMETROPOLIS.
WHAT?
YOU, TOO, DUCK.
WELL, FINALLY.
I NEVER REFUSE AN ADORING FAN
WHEN HE'S ADORING ME.
Tourists: [SHOUTING]
HE SAVED US. HE'S A HERO.
MAKE THAT SUPERHERO.
Lexi: DON'T WE AT LEAST GET A "C" FOR TRYING?
FANS, I'M BACK HERE,
AVAILABLE FOR AUTOGRAPHS.
Rev: WELL, IF HE DID STEAL OUR SUPER POWERS,
AT LEAST HE'S USING THEM TO SAVE PEOPLE.
SORRY, BUT STEALING IS STEALING.
TIME TO TAKE THIS GUY DOWN.
I WANT MY POWERS BACK.
CALM DOWN. YOU'RE ALREADY ON ONE BIG POWER TRIP.
NO. TECH AND I ARE THE ONLY ONES LEFT
WITH SUPER POWERS,
AND SEEING AS TECH COULDN'T LEAD A PARADE,
I SHOULD BE MAKING THE DECISIONS.
HMM. ALL RIGHT THEN, DUCK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO?
WELL, WE SHOULD, UH--UH, WE SHOULD...
HUNT DOWN THIS SYPHER GUY
AND FIND A WAY TO GET ALL OUR POWERS BACK.
WHOA. HE GOT IT ON THE FIRST GUESS.
SYPHER SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD TO FIND.
AS WE SPEAK, HE IS ACTING AS THE GRAND MARSHAL
AT A PARADE THROWN IN HIS HONOR.
YEESH. TALK ABOUT OVER-EXPOSURE.
DON'T BE TOO IMPRESSED.
SYPHER IS NOT AS HEROIC AS HE PRETENDS TO BE.
WATCH THESE IMAGES RECORDED AT THE DAM
BY ONE OF MY OWN SATELLITES.
Ace: THAT FAKER. HE USED MY POWER TO CRACK THE DAM.
Duck: FURTHER PROOF WHY MY POWERS ARE BEST. OH, YEAH.
THAT GLORY HOG SET US UP
TO STEAL OUR POWERS,
JUST SO HE CAN BE FAMOUS?
PRECISELY, AND HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED
BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING
THAT EVEN SUPER POWERS CAN'T FIX.
RIGHT. NOW THAT WE KNOW WHERE HE IS--
Duck: AHEM.
OH, RIGHT, DUCK. TAKE IT AWAY.
YES, NOW SADDLE UP
AND LET'S, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, UM, UH--
[WHISPERS]
RAIN ON HIS PARADE!
I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
Crowd: SYPHER! SYPHER!
EXCUSE ME.
CHILL, EVERYBODY.
THERE'S PLENTY OF SYPHER TO GO AROUND.
Duck: IS THAT SO?
SAVE THE CELEBRATION, SYPHER,
FOR THE REAL SUPERHEROES,
BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY SUPER IN SYPHER.
BECAUSE THE REAL SYPHER IS A SUPER SYPHER-LESS,
UH, SYPHER-HEAD.
DUDE, THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
IT MEANS YOU STOLE MY FRIENDS POWERS, OK?
IT MEANS THAT YOU'RE A BIG FRAUD.
[ALL GASP]
AND WE'RE HERE TO TAKE OUR POWERS BACK.
HA HA HA. STOLE YOUR POWERS?
LOOK, THEY'RE BUGGIN' 'CAUSE I CAN DO EVERYTHING
THAT THEY CAN DO, BUT WAY BETTER.
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO SMEAR ME.
I SAY THEY GO BACK TO THE PETTING ZOO
WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
Crowd: YEAH!
BUT SYPHER IS WILLING TO FORGIVE AND FORGET.
WILL YOU BE MY BUD?
HEY! GET AWAY FROM HIM.
SEE? I JUST WANNA BE BUDS,
BUT THE HERO HAS-BEENS WON'T LET ME.
Crowd: YEAH!
ALL RIGHT, I'VE HAD ABOUT ENOUGH
OF THIS SUPER CLOWN.
MAYBE IF WE RUSH HIM ALL AT ONCE,
HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF.
GOOD THINKING, DUCK. OOH, YOU'RE SCARING ME.
AAH. AAH.
UHH. UHH.
ANY MORE THOUGHTS?
MAN, THEY ARE TOTALLY OUT FOR ME.
Sypher: YOU SEE? I GOTTA DEFEND MYSELF.
HAH. LOOK AT THE LITTLE RABBITS RUN.
ALL RIGHT, CAPTAIN SUCK-UP, AND I MEAN THAT LITERALLY,
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
CAN YOU DO THIS?
NO, BUT IT SURE LOOKS COOL.
SWEET, BUT CAN YOU DO THIS?
GOTCHA.
HAH! TOP THAT.
WHERE ARE YOU, DUCK DUDE?
HEY, LOOK. DUCK'S ACTUALLY GETTING TO HIM.
HE'S ELEVATED ANNOYING TO A SUPER POWER.
Duck: HEADS UP. [GASP]
BACK AT YA!
AAH!
OH.
AAH, UHH, AAH.
[BOTH GASP]
AAAAAH!
GOTCHA, DUCK.
HA HA HA HA HA.
HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE QUACKING WITH FEAR?
HA HA HA HA.
DESPICABLE.
WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO?
NOW THAT HE'S GOT MY POWERS,
HE'S PRACTICALLY INVINCIBLE.
WE'RE DOOMED. DOOMED!
DUCK'S RIGHT.
WITHOUT POWERS, WE'RE USELESS AGAINST HIM.
THAT BLOATED FAME-HOUND
IS NOT GONNA GET THE BEST OF US.
WE CAN TAKE HIM WITH WHAT WE HAVE LEFT.
OUR SKILLS.
YOU KNOW,
I COULD FASHION SOME KIND OF BODY ARMOR.
YES! I MAY HAVE JUST THE THING.
LEAVE IT TO ME.
DID I MENTION WE'RE DOOMED?
DOOMED, I SAY.
Tech: HERE THEY ARE. READY FOR COMBAT.
DESIGNED AND CALIBRATED
TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL BRAIN PATTERNS.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.
NANO-POWERED BIONIC SUITS.
SO HIS MAGNETIC POWERS WON'T AFFECT US,
EACH SUIT HAS BEEN DESIGNED
TO MIMIC AND DEFLECT
OUR INDIVIDUAL SUPER POWERS.
ACE, YOURS IS SPECIALLY EQUIPPED
WITH LASER GOGGLES.
REV HAS SPEED ACCELERATED LEGS AND WINGS.
AND LEXI--
AN ULTRASONIC SIREN
TO BLAST SYPHER'S SUPER HEARING.
[SHRILL SCREAM]
SLAM, CIRCULAR JETS
THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO CREATE A TASMO TORNADO.
DUCK, YOURS...
YEAH, I FOUND IT.
DOOMED.
HEY, GIVE ME A BREAK.
I ONLY HAD 5 MINUTES TO COME UP WITH ALL THIS.
Ace: ZODAVIA PINPOINTS SYPHER'S H.Q.
STRAIGHT AHEAD.
LOOK ALIVE, GANG.
I'M PICKING UP SECURITY SENSORS.
Duck: AH, GREAT. THERE'S NO DOORBELL.
Tech: DID I FORGET TO MENTION
THAT MY SUIT HAS ELECTROMAGNETIC PALMS?
HOLA, EX-SUPER DUDES. CHECK OUT MY NEW CRIB.
PRETTY AWESOME, RIGHT?
BY THE WAY, NICE THREADS.
YEAH, WHAT ARE YOU, THE FASHION POLICE?
YAAH!
HAH. NANO-BIONIC ARMOR. NICE ONE, TECH,
BUT I DON'T THINK IT'LL HELP YOU AGAINST THIS.
AAH! AAH!
Ace: BACK AT YA, DOC.
HAI-YAAH!
WHOO! WOW. BOGUS POWERS, TOO.
VERY COOL.
WAIT. NO, NOT COOL.
SAD.
WELL, LET ME DRY YOUR TEARS.
BRING IT ON. I GOT YOUR MOVES, TOO.
[GRUNTING]
AAH! HANDS OFF, MAN.
HEY, SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.
[BOTH STRAINING AND GROANING]
UHH.
HEY.
HEY, SYPHER, I GOT A MESSAGE FOR YA,
AND IT SOUNDS SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
[SHRILL SCREAM]
AAH!
MY EARS!
GRR!
UHH. AAH.
TASMANIAN TORNADO? HAH.
HEY, I KNOW HOW TO BEAT HIM.
WHEN I TOUCHED SYPHER,
I FELT MY POWERS COMING BACK.
NO WONDER HE WON'T LET ANY OF US NEAR HIM.
HE ABSORBS THE POWERS THROUGH TOUCH,
BUT WE CAN GET THEM BACK THE SAME WAY.
Sypher: AND THAT'S A WRAP.
TIME FOR A LITTLE SQUEEZE PLAY.
COME ON, GUYS. ALL TOGETHER NOW.
GRR!
NO. NO.
Tech: WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A SEAT, SYPHER?
THAT'S OK, TECH. I'D RATHER STAND.
[GASPS] UGH!
HA HA HA.
[GROANING]
HE'S NEVER GONNA LET US GET NEAR HIM, CHIEF.
UNLESS HE DOESN'T SEE US COMING.
HA HA HA HA.
AW, THE POOR LITTLE LOSER-TICS ALL FALL DOWN.
YEAH, WELL COME CLOSER AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE.
HA. I HAVE SUPER HEARING, REMEMBER?
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO.
I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE, AND I AM NOT GOING BACK.
YOU ARE SO OVER. GRR!
DUCK, EGG HIM.
ORDER UP, SYPHER.
AAH! MY EYES!
NOW! RUSH HIM!
OH, YEAH!
NO, NO! AAH!
[CHUCKLES] NO!
YES!
WILL THE REAL SUPERHEROES STAND UP
AND THE PHONIES FALL DOWN?
[PANTING]
Zodavia: CONGRATULATIONS, TEAM.
NOW THAT WORD'S OUT ON SYPHER,
HIS POPULARITY HAS PLUMMETED.
HE WON'T BE TOUCHING OUR LIVES ANY TIME SOON.
NICE WORK, ALL OF YOU.
ZODAVIA OUT.
ALL RIGHTY, THEN.
I WANT YOUR REPORTS ON THE SYPHER MISSION
ON MY DESK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
BEFORE GROUP CALISTHENICS.
REPORTS? SINCE WHEN DO WE WRITE REPORTS?
WELL--
Tech: OR EXERCISE?
AS TEAM LEADER,
I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE A FEW CHANGES AROUND HERE.
I'M GONNA BE RUNNING A TIGHTER SHIP.
Lexi: DID HE SIPHON YOUR BRAIN, DUCK?
ACE IS STILL OUR LEADER.
EXCUSE ME, MISSY.
I DIDN'T HEAR THE BOSS LADY MENTION ANYTHING
ABOUT ACE BEING BACK IN CHARGE.
DID YOU, SLAM?
[MUMBLES] TODAY'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY.
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
CLEARLY, SHE WANTS ME TO REMAIN NUMERO UNO.
DUCK, GET OVER YOURSELF.
ACE IS BACK IN CHARGE.
NOW IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?
YES MA'AM.
MM-HMM. ZODAVIA OUT.
YEAH, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK. COME ON, EVERYBODY.
LET'S GIVE NUMERO UNO SOME TIME ALONE-O.
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T QUITE HEAR
WHEN SHE WANTED ACE BACK IN CHARGE.
TOMORROW OR MAYBE NEXT WEEK?
SHE WASN'T SPECIFIC.
EVERYONE GET BACK HERE AND LISTEN TO ME.
