- Happy Z Force Announcement Day!

- Hey, Cherry.

- Did President Kickbutt

call yet to tell you if you got in?

Because if you didn't, this balloon is reversible.

- No, Cherry, we're waiting to find out

if we made the Championships.

If we win, then we make the Z Force.

- Why hasn't Kickbutt called?

What if we filled out the forms wrong?

What if they lost the forms?

What if they never got the forms?

- Stop saying "forms."

- You're right. I'm sorry.

I should just try to stop thinking about the Z Force

or anything Z related. - Yeah.

- Let's go to the zoo!

- They just got a zebra!

- It's from Zimbabwe!

- Oh, I get it, you're mocking me...

while I'm falling apart! [sobbing]

- I broke my zipper.

- Ha! Good one, Hank.

Oh, you're not kidding.

- FEMALE ANNOUNCING: Alert! Alert!

Incoming call from Super President Kickbutt.

- Hello, Thundermans.

I have bad news.

- We didn't make it?

- No, I just spilled my latte.

And now onto the good news.

Another latte is on the way.

- So, just tell us the news!

- Okay.

Max and Phoebe, you're in the Z Force Championships.

- ALL: [cheering]

- HANK: Congratulations!

- We did it, Phoebe.

- Oh, I knew I filled out those forms right.

- ♪

- BARB: Awwww...

- HANK: Can you believe it, Barb?

Our kids are this close to joining the Z Force.

- It seems like just yesterday we moved here,

so, they could have normal childhoods.

- I thought it was 'cause you guys

couldn't fit into your supersuits anymore.

- No. It was so you could go to school,

and make friends and appreciate the importance of family.

- That's right. Even the coolest job in the world

isn't more important than your family.

Promise me you'll remember that.

- I promise.

- Max?

- Hm? Oh, right--important, family, I'm coolest.

Got it.

- Ooh, the Z Force sent beams to pick you up.

Fancy.

- Bye, guys.

- Bye! Good luck! - We love you!

You know, that wasn't so bad.

I thought I would cry.

- Me, too. [sobbing]

Don't look at me, kids!

- Billy, this is our big chance.

- To make fun of dad for crying?

Way ahead of you.

- No.

With Max and Phoebe gone,

we can finally be the new protectors of Hiddenville.

Laser Girl and...

MC Runs-a-lot.

No? I'll work on it later.

But now I'm gonna go put on my supersuit.

[zooming] - [leaves scattering]

- [zooming]

- That's my supersuit.

- Cool! You have a fart shield.

- Take it off!

- ♪

- Okay, teleporting is awesome!

- Now look around, Phoebe.

Everyone in this room is the enemy.

- Come on, Max.

Just 'cause we're all competing for the same spot

doesn't mean we can't be friendly.

- [titanium hand whirring] - Hey, cool titanium hand.

I'm Phoebe. This is my brother, Max.

We're competing for the same spot.

Oh!

- Your skin is soft.

Tearing it from the bones will be easy.

- Phoebe, come quick!

[laughs] That's my brother calling me.

I gotta go. Bye.

- [dramatic music]

- Good news.

You can all join the Z Force...

is something I will never say.

I am Commander Dirk Trumbo.

You are competing for a spot

on the most elite squad of superheroes in the world.

If you win, you get to work for the greatest hero of them all--

me, Commander Dirk Trumbo.

The test may begin at any moment.

- Any moment?

Max, we should be prepared for anything, like...

- The room filling with gas?

- [gas hissing]

- I guess so. There are a lot of boys in here.

Okay, time for refreshments.

That gas bag stole our idea and is already winning.

- You're right.

I should give her my phone number.

- Right this way,

to the nicest room any of you have ever been in.

You're outta here!

Well, guess we'll move on to the good stuff.

Waiter, bring the pizza bagels.

- Mmm, finger foods and poison gas.

- Right, just like mom used to make.

- PHOEBE: [laughing] - [high-pitched laughter]

- Is this what nerd flirting looks like?

- You are a ham. I'm Phoebe.

- I'm Balfour. - And we're all toast,

if we don't figure out how to get rid of Galaxia.

- Oh, dude, she's so scary.

You know, if you wanna knock her out,

you could form an alliance with a certain

smart and, uh, powerful superhero.

- You have spinach in your teeth.

- Awww...

- And why would we team up with you?

What's your power? Super math tutoring?

[laughing]

- They call me...

The Gamer.

I can fire a nanochip onto a person's neck,

then control their every movement.

Watch.

- [blaster f*ring]

- [electronic bleep]

- What is happening?

- Oh, my new friends were hungry.

Now pirouette away, my good sir.

- [electronic bleep]

- [high-pitched laughter]

- Thanks. We'll call you,

if we ever need an army of dancing waiters.

- Oh, this must be Max and Phoebe Thunderman.

I'm looking forward to seeing your twin power.

- PHOEBE & MAX: Our what power?

- You know, the unique power

that all super twins access in the heat of battle.

Uh, like the Hipster twins.

- BOTH: Twin power, activate!

[flames roaring]

- Oh, our twin power, right, of course.

It's something that we totally have.

- You'd better.

Or Galaxia's gonna rip off your heads

and plant daisies down your necks.

- [hand whirring]

- Hey, buddy, tell us more about this alliance.

- [tablet ringing] - Billy, come quick!

Phoebe's tablet's reporting a crime!

- What's with your hair?

- If I'm taking over for Max,

I've gotta look the part.

How's my swoosh?

- [lasers zapping]

- [hair sizzling]

- Smoking.

Now let's go save the day.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, you two.

- Where are you going?

- With Max and Phoebe gone,

Hiddenville needs protectors.

- And you're looking at them.

Say hello to Laser Girl and...

- Speed Bump!

- Anyway...

there's a new criminal in town

and we're gonna take him down.

- BARB: The Bake Sale Bandit?

- He bites muffins and brownies at bake sales

and runs away without paying.

- I don't like someone terrorizing

the dessert community.

This bandit needs to be caught!

But not by you two.

- Yeah, you guys aren't ready to fight crime.

- Yes, we are. You guys have been training us.

- Besides, if we don't stop the bandit, who will?

- What do you say, Barb?

Or should I say Electress?

- Hiddenville does need new protectors.

- Hello, right here.

- You're right, citizen. We are here.

- [laughing]

She's using her hero voice!

Oh, we're back in action!

Mmm, time to go on a stakeout.

- Ah! Taking down the Bake Sale Bandit

is gonna be a piece of cake!

- [laughing] We are so back!

- [door closes]

- I can't believe they don't think we're ready.

There's only one thing we can do.

- Put on our fart shields?

- No.

We've gotta solve that crime before mom and dad

so we can show them how good we are.

- I grew up in a super orphanage.

- Told ya.

my dad was imprisoned by the Hero League,

when I was just a baby.

All I have to remember him by

is the baby cape that I was wrapped in

when he said goodbye.

Wow, that's heavy, man.

Okay, we'll see ya, buddy.

- Max.

So, are you just gonna stay here tonight?

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm just gonna do what I've done every night--

play video games until I cry myself to sleep.

The least we can do is invite him to dinner at our house.

the Bake Sale Bandit yet.

But we did catch the snickerdoodles

in the act of being delicious.

- You guys want one?

- Thanks for taking a bite out of this one, Dad.

- ALL: [gasping] The Bake Sale Bandit!

- Now it's personal.

- Let me go throw these out.

- Barb, that's evidence.

Let me analyze them with a glass of milk.

- This toothless criminal lives to bite another day.

- What do you mean "toothless"?

- Whoever bit this cookie,

is missing his two front teeth.

But it's not like we're gonna go to

the next bake sale and find him.

- Billy, that's exactly what we should do.

- Great. Case closed!

- No, we still have to go do it.

- Case reopened!

First, the neutronium scorpion.

Keep your hand inside the case for ten seconds.

The pain from its sting

is unbearable to most superheroes.

Next, the exploding coconut.

Smash the right one and live.

Smash the wrong one

and clean up in aisle five.

Finally, the ear bud tangle.

So annoying.

So tangly!

The first to finish all the tests

and hit that button joins the Z Force.

Fail and you'll be beamed home immediately.

- Good luck, guys.

- I hope one of us wins.

- [sighing]

We made it. Are you okay, Max?

- No, I'm in excruciating pain and I can't see colors.

How's Balfour doing?

- He's gonna nanochip Galaxia.

The Commander said no powers.

- He didn't say anything about gadgets.

- Well, he's getting rid of Galaxia.

- [electronic beep]

- Why's he getting rid of Galaxia

by sending her directly at us?

- I would also like to know this.

- Because your family imprisoned my father.

You ruined my life

and now I'm gonna ruin yours.

- You just had to invite him to dinner, didn't you?

- I was being polite.

I have an idea. - Make it a fast idea.

Why are we still standing here? - I don't know.

- Look at us, Barb,

working undercover to scrape Hiddenville's

underbelly clean of criminal scum.

Pass me another pecan sandy.

and walked away without paying.

- Move out! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Hold it right there, Bradford!

- What the...? - Dad, Mom!

- Kids, we told you guys to stay out of this.

Your Dad and I are handling it.

- I know. [laughing]

- Yes, uh, about that.

- What is our first mission? When do we get our uniforms?

Do we get a discount at the gift shop?

- Negative.

The Thunder twins will never be on the Z Force.

- Wait. Why not?

- Because you don't have a twin power.

- So what? We just b*at the best superheroes you have.

And the Hipster twins.

- We don't need two supes with the same abilities.

We just need one of you.

- So, what are you gonna do, make us fight each other?

- I was going to flip a coin,

but that sounds much more fun.

Sister versus brother.

There can be only one!

- [dramatic music]



- Wait, so, you're breaking up our team,

and making us battle each other?

- Without a twin power,

you're just two superheroes with the same power.

That's like a two-topping pizza

and both the toppings are mushrooms.

It's just dumb.

- I can't fight my own brother.

- Yeah, we're family.

- We, at the Z Force, put everything before family--

unless the Thundermans aren't Z Force material.

- Oh, we are so Z Force material.

- Then prove it by facing off after lunch.

Anyone wanna go in on a double-mushroom pizza?

I'm just kidding. It's still dumb.

- This is crazy. - I know.

After all that, they want us to fight each other?

We could have done that from home.

- [groans] We're so close to our dream,

and we have no choice but to walk away.

That is our only choice, right?

- Yeah.

It's not like we can forget about being partners

and fight each other.

- But I really wanna be on the Z Force.

- Me, too!

- Okay, look, I know we wanted to make it as a team,

but this might be the only way

a Thunderman can get on the Z Force.

- If we don't do this,

all the hard work will be for nothing.

- Okay, let's just agree that, win or lose,

we'll both be happy for whoever makes it on.

- You got it. - Okay.

- May the best Max win.

- You mean, may the best Phoebe win.

- Mmm, I'm pretty sure I'll win.

- Yeah, on Opposite Day.

Hello, Thunder twins.

Come and play my game,

if you dare.

[evil laughter]

Oh, by the way, this is Balfour.

I have your family.

- [lasers zapping] - BARB: Ow!

- Nice ransom video, son.

Once Max and Phoebe see that,

they'll come running.

- Hey, guys, I'm home.

- Wow, that was fast.

- Phoebe, help! - [lasers zapping]

- Help us!

- What the...?

Balfour! Let my family go!

- I have a better idea.

Why don't you join them?

- [blaster f*ring]

- [electronic bleeping]

- Oh, it looks like we have ourselves a new player, huh?

Woo-hoo!

- ♪

- Thank you.

[laughs]

Commander, being on the Z Force

is even more amazing than I dreamed.

I mean, these suits are so comfortable.

- Mm, there's no silk like Mole People silk.

Ah, here's your Z Key.

It gets you access to the supersonic hovercraft,

the submarine,

and the executive bathroom on our space base.

- You know I'm gonna abuse all these privileges, right?

- Ha! I told you he was one of us.

- ALL: [laughing]

- Oh, I almost forgot.

Your standard issue Z Blaster.

- Aw, cool! How can I tell if it's charged?

- [laser zapping]

- That's how. [laughing]

- [watch beeps] - Balfour?

- Hello, Thunder twins.

Come and play my game, if you dare.

[evil laughter]

Oh, by the way, this is Balfour.

I have your family.

- Oh, no.

Commander, we need to go to Hiddenville right now.

My family's in danger.

- That's a big nah-unh, Max.

I just got word that Flame Brothers

have escaped from prison.

Your freeze breath makes you the perfect member

to put them on ice, once and for all.

Let's go, team!

- But, wait!

What about my family?

- Again, Z Force here,

family, near here.

Or maybe you're not meant to wear the Mole People silk.

- ♪

- [laser zapping] - Oh!

- [video game music, sound effects playing]

- Why am I a bird?

What kind of game is this?

- What is taking Max so long?

- He's not coming.

They made us compete for the last Z Force slot

and he won.

- Max b*at you? [chuckling]

That's my Maxy!

- Dad, this is my moment.

- Sorry. Go on with your thing.

- [grunts] I can't!

Without Max here, it won't be complete revenge.

- Chin up, Slugger.

You can still get hilarious revenge

against the rest of the Thundermans.

- You're right, Dad.

[presses pause]

Why don't we take this to the next level?

- A giant cage?

What does this have to do with video games?

- Oh, I'm through playing games.

Since you forced my dad to live in a cage,

let's see how you enjoy living like animals.

- I love this thing!

- Billy, stop liking our prison.

We have to keep our dignity.

[slurping water]

- [chuckling] Look at 'em.

Now they'll get a taste of the rabbit life.

- Oh, Dad, they'll get more than just a taste.

I'm gonna use my nanochips to fry their brains

until they are as dumb as actual rabbits.

- Ooh! [chuckling]

- Don't worry, guys, I'll run and get help.

- You're gonna fry our brains?

I can't believe I nerd flirted with you.

- I can.

The Gamer's got game. Woo!

- Hank, we have to do something--

other than eat the food pellets.

- Oh, he's making me eat it.

- I am not even touching the controller.

- Do something, Dr. Colosso.

- I am.

I'm gonna watch all the fun!

- BOTH: [laughing]

- Great plan, son. - Oh.

- You've really got this villain thing down.

- Maybe seeing his family with bunny brains

will get Max here. - Yeah!

- Then I can fry his brain, too.

- Yeah, ya will! Wait. What?

You don't wanna do that to Max.

- Of course, I do.

He turned you into an animal.

- No, that's his dumb dad.

Max is cool!

He's like the evil son I never had.

- I am the evil son you never had!

You make a better rabbit than you do father.

- COLOSSO: Son, I see you're upset.

So, why don't you let me out

and we can talk about this over ice cream?

- My body can't process milk--

which you would know, if you were around!

- Uh...

Balfour, it must have been so hard

growing up without a family.

Please, tell us all about it.

- It was awful.

I was so alone.

Do you know what happens

when you ask a video game to tuck you in at night?

It says, "Buh Boh".

But I guess a life playing video games

did allow me to hone my instincts.

Like being able to sense a sneak att*ck!

- [breathing frosty air]

- [blaster f*ring] - [electronic bleeping]

- [whooshing]

- Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Oh, welcome, Maxy!

So happy that you could join us.

[laughs]

- I'm sorry, guys. I tried.

- That was very brave of you, Max.

- Stop loving him!

Okay, Thundermans,

you're about to get seriously stupid.

[laughs]

- Max, what are you even doing here?

I thought you were with the Z Force.

- I left.

I realized I couldn't put anything before family.

- Ooooh, it's begun.

Prepare for bunny brains.

- [high-pitched ringing]

- This is it.

[voice cracking] Everyone, hold hands.

We will go down the way we lived--

as a family.

- I love you all.

- MAX & PHOEBE: I love you, too, Mom.

- [solemn music]

- Bye, Phoebe.

- [sniffles] Goodbye, Max.

- [electrical zapping]

- What's happening with your hands?

- I don't know.

- It's like...

a power.

- Max, you don't think...

- Twin power?

- Let's give it a sh*t.

- [controller buzzing]

- No! What's going on? You can't use any powers.

I am The Gamer! I'm in control!

- [dramatic music]

- Not anymore.

- [dramatic music]

- [expl*si*n]

- Everybody okay? - ALL: Yeah.

- [groans] No.

- The blast was so strong, it shorted out the chips.

- HANK: Quick, pull it off your necks.

- Max, we had twin power all along.

- Seeing your family in mortal danger

must have unlocked it.

- No, I'm pretty sure we've just never held hands before.

- I will have my revenge!

- [zooming] Don't think so.

- [lasers zapping]

- Oh!

- Game over, Balfour.

- My name is Bal--

Hey, you actually got it right this time.

- Come on, Balfour,

you can spend the rest of your life

playing video games in Hero League prison.

- Wait, wait, wait.

You can't fly Balfour to prison.

- Why not? - Yeah, why not?

- The only reason he did all of this

is because he grew up without a family,

and as annoying as all of you are,

I can't imagine life without you.

- Awww...

Well, as much as we appreciate that, Max,

we still have to do something with him.

- [whimpering]

- I have an idea.

Also, I'm alive. Thanks for caring.

There might be another form of punishment for him.

- [dramatic music]

- BALFOUR: I'm a bunny?

How is this better than prison?

- It's way better.

You and I can catch up,

and we can play Insult the Thundermans

all day long.

Hey, Phoebe,

slice me some bread with those elbows, would ya?

[chuckling]

- BALFOUR: [laughing]

Good one, Pop.

Let me try.

Hey, Max?

Die!

- Okay, well, we'll work on it.

Hey, now let's go poop in their shoes.

- BALFOUR: [laughing]

- So, Phoebs, I was wondering--

- No, Balfour cannot stay in my room.

- Actually, I was gonna ask if maybe

you wanted to keep fighting crime together.

- Really? You still wanna be a team?

- Yeah.

You know, we have a pretty awesome twin power.

- It would be a shame to waste it.

Partners?

- Partners.

- [electrical zapping]

- So, fist bumps from now on?

- Totally. - Cool.

- FEMALE ANNOUNCING: Alert! Alert!

Super President Kickbutt approaching.

- Look, if this is about me leaving the Z Force,

I'm sorry, but Max Thunderman

doesn't put anything before family.

- Oh, I agree.

That's why I fired the Commander.

- ALL: Huh?

- The Hero League has no use for

an arrogant, hotshot who cares more about

saying his own name than saving lives.

- Wait. So, what happened to him?

- [snaps fingers]

- Here's your latte, Madam President.

- I said light foam, you fool!

Go wait in the hovercar.

- Oh, how Dirk Trumbo has fallen.

- So, who's gonna run the Z Force now?

- In light of their consistent performance

battling the Villain League,

and their understanding of the true nature of heroism,

I'm making the new head of the Z Force

Phoebe and Max. - ALL: [gasp]

- What? - We're the head of the Z Force?

- Thank you, Super President Kickbutt.

This is such an honor.

- As the new commanders, you can hire whomever you want.

- Uh...

Anyone we want, huh?

Um...

Well, we sure could use a superhero

with superstrength. - Oh, ho!

- Electricity would be handy, too.

- And, of course, superspeed, lasers,

and teleporting could really help us make some saves.

- ALL: [laughing]

- Good luck finding a hero with all those powers.

- Billy, he means us.

We're finally gonna be superheroes.

Laser Girl, reporting for duty.

- And call me... [zooming]

The Rapid Gentleman.

- How about Kid Quick?

- Kid Quick!

- Guys, are you sure about this?

- Hey, you guys gave up being superheroes

so we could live a normal life.

But maybe being in a family of superheroes

is our normal life.

- What do you say, Barb?

- Well, I say...

it looks like Thunder Man and Electress

are back in action!

- Don't forget Thunder Baby, baby!

- Thundermans, suit up!

- ♪

- Good. You're ready.

The South China Sea has been taken over

by the Brain Puncher.

Your supersonic jet is waiting for you outside.

- Well, I can fly.

- And I can teleport.

- Do you want the jet or not?!

- ALL: Yes, ma'am, we do.

- Good luck, Z Force!

- ALL: [excited hooting]

- Oh, Phoebe, should we...

- Oh, one more thing.

It's not the Z Force anymore.

It's the T Force.

- T for the Thundermans. - I think she got it.

Now let's go save the world.
