01x09 - Sypher

[bunniefuu]

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!

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.



Actually, 18.

I doubled it
to be nice.

[Humming]

sh**t 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, g*ng.

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.
