Maxum man rampaging robots!
Maniacal machines!
Catastrophic cyborgs!
Is humanity's defeat by our metal superiors
Finally at hand?
Noooooooooooooooo!
It's giant cyborg funland!
Ride them...
Battle them...
Eat the ones made out of candy!
(Chewing) mmm.
Voted "most maxum-tastic theme park" by me, maxum man.
Who else? Don't miss it!
Or you will never. Ever.
Forgive yourself!
Ever!
Giant cyborg funland!
Not one word in that phrase isn't awesome!
A field trip!
And we get to go somewhere!
And and, we get to bite cyborgs!
Yaaaaaaaaah!
(Chomping)
It has so many cool rides!
(Gasp) the teacups of mayhem!
The roller coaster of destruction!
Kitty (gasp) the gift shop of armageddon!
Yayyyyy!
We will be leaving at precisely twelve noon.
But I will begin checking your permission slips now.
Permission slips?! Oh no!
I forgot to get mine signed!
(Gasp) me too!
(Whirring)
What? You know I hate pocket clutter.
Eric (pants)
Brain! Wake up!
Brain, I need my parent and/or guardian
Maxum man's signature on my permission slip
So I can go to giant cyborg funland!
So you gotta make an exact copy of said signature for me
Or I can't go to giant cyborg funland!
Giant cyborg funland!
(Effort grunts)
Maxum brain the following is a pre-recorded message:
Stop throwing tomatoes!
(Laser blasts) aghhh!
Maxum brain also, until tomorrow morning,
I am officially off-duty,
Taking a well deserved day off
From you and your smelly eric-ness.
Day off?!
Noooooooooooo!!!
Maxum brain (giddy) yessssss! Burn!
Aww, I wish I was there for that burn... Burn!
Great. The one day brain isn't here
Is the one day I actually need him.
Trevor no worries, dude.
Look what I found in the evil gadget room:
The signatureator!
This will make perfect forgeries of the signatures!
I can't believe you found the exact thing we needed
At the exact moment we needed it!
I know! I'm so convenient-ey!
(Whirring and beeping)
(Laser blasts) aghhhh!
Eeeee!
Oh, right. It only signs in "evil".
Whatever.
I'll just have to fake maxum man's signature myself.
Forgery detector (beeps) fake signature alert!
Aghhh! Oof!
My detector never misses a fake.
Here's mine. Signed, sealed and delicious!
(Lip smacks)
(Whirs, ding)
Very good. Enjoy the field trip, trevor!
Nice try, herr needles.
We depart in one hour.
If you have no authentic signed permission slip by then,
We leave without you!
(Evil laugh)
(Groans)
The bombsonian institute has maxum man's real signature
On display.
I'll just trace it.
Hmmm.
Why...?
Won't... This... Thing... Work?!
(expl*si*n)
Trevor so... We're good?
Maxum man may be missing in our dimension,
But maybe a different dimension's maxum man
Can sign my permission slip.
Maxum men? Great, I'm saved!
Who's got a pen?
Pen? What is this "pen" of which you speak?
Pen? What is this "pen" of which you speak?
Pen? What is this "pen" of which you speak?
Nooooooooo!
Wait, don't you want a snack?
Mmm.
(Excited chatter) I can't wait to get there!
Maxum man pamplemoose, stop!
I, maxum man,
Have arrived to give verbal permission
For my trusty sidekick, eric,
To attend your field trip.
(Whirring and beeping)
Forgery detector fake super alert!
(Laser blasts)
Holo-projector!
Oldest trick in the book!
Now, if you will excuse me,
Students who have actual permission
Are off to giant cyborg funland.
And in case you have forgotten:
You are not!
Wait! If I get my permission slip signed
Before the park closes, I can still go, right?
I'm leaning towards yes,
But also, I do not care.
Then I'll care enough for the both of us!
I will get this signed!
The clock is ticking, trevor.
I need a perfectly forged signature! Fast!
But the only one who can do that is brain.
And the only ones who can find him are us.
And the only ones who can help us
Are vana and kitty.
Yeah! Giant cyborg funland rocks!
We've only been here for five seconds,
And it's already the awesome-est place on earth!
And not just because you aren't here!
Eric! What do you need?
You know I'm always here for you!
Thanks, kitty!
We could really use your help to find maxum brain and-
Yup! Giant cyborg funland!
That's where I'm here for you, eric.
Giant. Cyborg. Funland.
You should totally be here too.
You'd love it!
(Whooshing) (delighted squeals)
(Delighted squeals)
Okay eric, think!
If I were an annoying computer,
Where would I go on my day off?
I found him!
He flattened himself into a poster!
(Sobbing)
Why maxum brain?!
Whyyyyyyyyyyy?!
Announcer humans in our digital-only realm!
What should we do to them, fans?
Computer reformat their hard drives!
I don't know what that is!
Thanks, but we're just here to get maxum brain
To sign something,
Then we'll get out of your wi-fi range.
"El cerebro psicopata"?
He defeated the dark box and left an hour ago.
Eric where'd he go?
Announcer survive seconds in the ring against
The dark box's sister system "the pink box,"
And I'll tell you.
To get that signature I'll do anything!
(Effort grunts)
Bring it on!
(Bell dings)
(Pained groans, computers laugh)
Blood - rushing from head -
About to pass out.
(Phone rings) y-ello?
Oh, just wondering if I've mentioned yet
How giant cyborg funland
Is the fantastic-est place on earth?
No. Before you said,
It was the awesome-est.
Well, it's both of them!
In any combination!
Fant-awesome!
Awe-fant-some-tastic!
Hurry, eric! You're missing it!
This place is sooooo hi-tech!
Weeeeeeee! Ooomph! Yayyyy!
It's amazing how fast forty three more rounds flew by.
At least they finally told us where brain went!
(Gasp) there he is!
Brain! Hey braaaaaain!
Get out of here, you clowns!
You're ruining the circus for me!
(Cries)
My vacation day isn't over yet!
Leave me alone!
I just need you to-
(Groan) quick! We gotta catch him!
But how?
Cannon travel, way faster than walking!
Trevor we are so smart.
Aghhhhhhh!
There he is!
But how do we stop?
Oof! Agh!
Those puffy things are a lot harder then they look.
Aghh!
Phew!
Aghhhh!
Aghhhh!
(Metal clangs)
Aghhhh!
(Bus engines roar)
(Cats screech)
Aghhhhh!
(Gasps)
I don't believe it.
Vana, kitty (distant cheering) awe-fant-some-tastic!
Brain, vana, kitty weeeeeeeeeee! Woo-hoo! Yaaaayyyy!
(Laughing)
(Sobbing) so close.
I was soooo close.
Pamplemoose (sobbing)
Needles, your incessant snivelling
Has warmed my icy heart.
Can I not show you mercy just this once?!
(Heavenly choir sings)
Yesss!!! All right!!!
That was the most fun we'll ever have in our lives!
(Taunting eric) sorry you couldn't be there, eric.
(Laughing)
Oh yes. My circuits feel very rejuvenated
After that amazing time.
So sad you had to miss it, eric!
Not really!
I am kidding in your face! Burn!
I never thought I could have that much fun without you!
But I did! (Laughing maniacally)
Now that I have permission,
It's my turn!
And nothing's gonna stop me
From having some giant cyborg fun!
(Gates slam) oof!
Oh, did I forget to mention?
When the park closes today...
It closes forever!
(Laughing maniacally)
(Wrecking ball smashes, expl*si*n)
Burn!

Maxum man chapter .
Sidekicks use'em, and abuse 'em!
Hi, I'm maxum man.
When I need stuff done, which is almost always,
I use my handy dandy sidekick!
(Screams)
(Static)
For discombobulating monsters!
Smell testing super underwear!
And my favourite:
For thrown at evil-doers!
Plus there are dozens of other bone-crushing
But practical uses!
As a footrest!
(Smell hisses) smell it!
A toilet plunger!
(Water sloshes)
Ooo gross!
(Screams)
Or as a tissue!
Strong...
(Blows nose)
And absorbent!
Remember sidekicks;
It's your job to serve your super!
Get creative!
Think of the many painful ways
Your super can use you!
Because if you don't, we will!
(Chuckles)
Eric creative?
More like degrading!
This is ridiculous.
The supers treat us like, like pooper scoopers!
Poop schcooping! Ya, excellent, eric!
Very good. Degrading also works.
They said "poop" twice
And it's not even noon yet.
S'gonna be a good day.
We shouldn't accept this.
We deserve better!
We should demand safer working conditions,
Better uniforms...
(Murmurs of agreement)
Murmur, murmur, and agreement.
And candy!
I mean, would it k*ll them to throw us a treat
Once in a while?
We sidekicks deserve respect from the supers
And until we get it I say,
We strike!
Who's with me?
(Crickets chirp)
(Clapping) class huh?
I'm with you, eric.
Sidekicks deserve better.
Strike!
Down with supers!
Power to the puny sidekicks!
Strike! Strike!
(Bowling balls smash)
Trevor spare!
(Chanting) strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!
Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!
Wait, before I storm off in what I assume is triumph,
Why are these supers here?
For sidekick day of course.
Ooh!
(Excited cheering)
I love sidekick day!
Me too!
Almost as much as eric... I mean...
Yay sidekick day!
Almost. So close.
Once again, at the risk of appearing
Naive and slow witted I must ask:
What's sidekick day?
On sidekick day, sidekicks rule like supers
And supers act as their sidekicks.
Our very own sidekicks?
Awesome!
(Evil laugh)
(Thunder)
(Gulps)
(Gasp)
What's wrong with you, guys?
It's sidekick day!
Why are you walking
When your supers could give you a ride!
(Cheering) yay! Wh-hooo!
Eric, there's a wall up ahead!
Jump!
Aghhh!
(Loud crash, pained grunts)
(Pained grunts)
Now that's traveling in style!
Kitty super style!
Vana I was born to be super!
I wonder if we get new sidekicks
If we break these ones?
(Pained groans)
(Ticking, beeping)
Hurry, kitty!
I'm trying! It's delicate work.
Tell me about it!
(Thumps, pained groans)
(Ticking, beeping)
(Screams)
It's too late!
No it's not!
Sidekicks?
(Gasps)
(expl*si*n) whoaaaaa!
Why blow yourself up
When your sidekicks can take the hit?
All yep. Ah-ha. Totally. Absolutely.
(Fizzles)
You really took the heat there, sidekick.
Thanks.
Now clean up this mess.
And buy yourself something frilly.
(Fizzles, glass shatters)
Why eat a bagged lunch
When your super can cook for you?!
(Groans) ooo!
Why be bored when your super can entertain you!
(Laser blasts)
Why maintain personal hygiene
When your super can do it for you!
(Groans)
Bring that!
(Maniacal laughter)
Sit on that!
(Maniacal laughter)
(Sniffs) smell this.
(Maniacal laughter)
Wear that!
(Maniacal laughter)
Faster! Harder!
Louder!
(Maniacal laughter)
Nooo! Nooooooo!
That's it!
We're sick of being used and abused!
You children are horrible!
Um, yeah, about that attitude,
See, it's sidekick day,
And that means we're the supers...
Cool it, dude.
And you're the sidekicks.
And what we say goes.
Oh, you like being the super, do you?
Oh yeah.
Then you got it because we quit!
As sidekicks, as supers... Forever!
Whoa! Ow!
(Bell dings)
What's with the glares
And vana's cool but somewhat scary boots?
The person who ruined sidekick day
Is about to get his butt kicked.
I didn't ruin sidekick day -
I... I made it better!
Today was awesome?
Both hmmm.
And who says it has to be for only one day?
If the supers quit,
Then we can have their jobs full-time!
(Whimpers)
I could get used to being a hero.
I mean, I already push people around.
She really does! Ha! Oof!
Butt kicking postponed.
Then let the supering begin!
(Fart)
Make it stop.
Make the supering stop!
(Groans)
We need the real supers back
And we need them back now!
No! I won't go back to being a lowly sidekick.
What do we need real supers for anyway?
(Water whooshes)
(Coughing)
Well, aquaguy used to control splittsboro's water.
And without captain gravitron there's no gravity.
Trevor I think I'm gonna hurl.
Kitty and without static clint, there's no electricity.
Vana I hate the dark, eric!
Kitty, find my butt-kicking boots!
Eric keep talking so I know where to aim.
Eric okay, fine!
I'll get the supers back.
(Splash) oops. That's a cow's nose. I hope.
(Cow moos)
Vana it was hard work,
But power and gravity are back online!
(Panting)
Great job, vana!
(Powering up)
Ya, ya, kitty. Less chat, more scurry.
Aghhhh!
So what's this plan again?
Eric it's simple really
Supers have to respond to danger -
It's part of their hero dna -
So if I dress up as a damsel in distress
And put myself in danger,
Then the supers will have to come back to work
And save me!
Ha ha! Genius!
Whatever.
You just want to wear the dress.
(Giggles)
Aha! Busted!
Nevertheless...
Here we go.
Let "operation save me" begin!
(Chuckles)
(Whirs, beeps)
(High-pitched scream) help!
Help!
So much danger!
What hero can possibly resist rescuing me?
Heeeellllp!
(Doorbell rings)
Static clint oh no, a damsel in distress!
Mayor swift don't worry, miss. I'll save you!
Oh... It's you.
Thanks for saving me, mayor!
Hmm.
No. This is a just a trick.
We're not splittsboro's supers anymore.
But we need you.
And supers have to respond to danger!
What? Um... No we don't. (Chuckle)
Oh, really?
Well, what if I was in more danger!
Vana! Trevor? More danger. More danger!
(Snake hisses)
(Machine rumbles)
Help me! Help me!
Really! Help me.
He's bluffing!
(Squeezed) so not bluffing!
(Grunts)
Must. Help. Unattractive. Damsel.
We'll help you on one condition
Cancel sidekick day!
All what?
Aghhhh! Whoa!
Agh!
(Fizzles)
Okay. Maybe.
Mayor swift sign here. Here.
And here. Initial here.
But I've been signing for two hours!
Is there anything else?
Dna samples.
Mayor swift your attention please!
Sidekick day has been officially cancelled -
Forever!
(Wild cheering) sidekicks boo!
But in its place the town of splittsboro
Is proud to announce the creation of a new holiday
Kick eric's butt day!
Which is today.
(Evil chuckling)
Hmm... (Sly chuckle)
(Gasps) but that's such a specific day!
(Pants) specific I say!
(Bracing cries)
