Dialogue
|
| At the Pow Card Company, Powio checks the stat and ratings.
|
| Powio
|
Ahh, the new holofoil edition Pow Cards are rolling off the biometric printers! Time to give them a whirl!
|
| Powio warp Brandon with his drumset.
|
| Brandon
|
What the...? Hey! I bet the acoustics are gnarly in here...
|
| Brandon warps back to his holofoil edition of his Pow Card.
|
| Powio
|
Excellent! These new Pow Cards are going to be the biggest thing to happen to Pow Cards since... sliced Pow Card bread, the Pow Card sandwiches you could trade with your friends at lunch!
|
| At the plaza, Crinkly is in trouble while Mikayla is attacking him.
|
| Crinkly Wrinkly
|
HEEEELP!! I NEED ME A HERO! HELP!!
|
| K.O.
|
One hero coming up!!
|
| Crinkly Wrinkly
|
Before I let ya save me Sonny, just need to be baravived level on your pow card. Ha ha.
|
| K.O.
|
Oh well, um, I don't... Uh... Have my... Pow card... Yet...
|
| Crinkly Wrinkly
|
Don't even have a pow card yet!? Ha, sorry, kid, but no pow card? You ain't no hero, then... I'm gonna hold down a bonnified hero, ha, but thanks anyway.
|
| K.O.
|
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
|
| Carol
|
What's going on, K.O.? Are you ok?
|
| K.O.
|
No, Mommy. I still don't have a pow card of my own! But I'm not going to give up! I'm going to keep trying to be a hero every day! I'm going to keep helping people! And saving stuff and boffing robots in their robot faces until... The Pow Card Company finally realizes I'm a hero worthy of a card!
|
| Carol
|
You just keep being you and everything's going to work out!
|
| At Lakewood Plaza Turbo.
|
| K.O.
|
Ahh, Lakewood Plaza Turbo! Work sweet work! The place to rub elbows with the world's greatest heroes...
|
| Radicles
|
Uh, K.O., can I have my elbow back, dude?
|
| Title: Rad, Level 2.
|
| K.O.
|
...While stocking up on all your heroic product needs at reasonable prices...
|
| A skinny Mr. Gar sprays himself with Hero Revive spray, change himself back to muscular self. Title: Mr. Gar, Level 11.
|
| K.O.
|
...And with... reasonable friendly service...
|
| Customer
|
Pardon me, uh, will you help me find...
|
| Enid roars. Title: Enid, Level 3.
|
| K.O.
|
It isn't always peaches and cream cheese at the plaza though thanks to our chief competitors across the road: Boxmore! They sell not-nice things to not-nice villains and their boss-man, Lord Bossman.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
It's Lord Boxman, not Lord Bossman, you fool!
|
| K.O.
|
Oops! Sorry, right! And their boss-man, Lord Lost-Ham... I did it again! My tongue is all twist-tied today!
|
| Lord Boxman
|
You're completely ruining my evil introduction! Just let me do it! Ahem! ...And their boss-man, Lord Boxman, a super-genius business mogul and villain extraodinaire, is bent on the complete annihilation of Lakewood Plaza Turbo and its do-gooding staff! With his army of evil robot children he wages war on the plaza and will emerge victorious and unopposed any day now! There. Was that sooo haaard?
|
| K.O.
|
Right. Everything that he just said. This is where I'll make my heroic mark! Where I will gain the respect and admiration and slack-jawed awe of my heroic peers! OK K.O.! Let's be a hero today!
|
| At the Bodega where K.O. is waiting to get his own Pow Card from the Pow Card Machine.
|
| Pow Card Machine
|
Scanning K.O. for Pow Card... again.
|
| Pow Card Machine scans K.O. and it's loading, but no avail.
|
| Pow Card Machine
|
No Pow Card found... again.
|
| K.O. shed a tear. Later, at the Pow Card Card, Powio checks the ratings again.
|
| Powio
|
The sales reports are in: the holofoil edition Pow Cards are a blockbuster hit! Heroes are grumbling about constantly being warped out of the cards without their... permission...
|
| Potato warp Co-Bruh, who is scrubbing himself in soap. But he's hissing at her.
|
| Powio
|
But all in all, it was a successful launch! My grandfather, Powio B. Cardsley would be proud of what I've accomplished! I've made Pow Cards bigger and better than he ever dreamed!
|
| The big crash approached by Lord Boxman.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
And I'm about to make them the baddest they've ever been!
|
| Powio
|
Lord Boxman? What is the meaning of this intrusion?
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Hostile takeover! Your silent majority stakeholder is no longer silent! I've bought the Pow Card Company out from under you! And I'm going to make some changes.
|
| Lord Boxman chuckles.
|
| The Pow Card machine scanning K.O. again and he finally gets a Pow Card. K.O. comes out of the bodega and shows his own Pow Card.
|
| K.O.
|
I have a Pow Card!
|
| Radicles
|
Way to go, K.O.. I thought you'd never get one.
|
| Enid elbows Radicles.
|
| Radicles
|
Uh, I mean, I never doubted you for a second!
|
| Enid
|
Congrats, K.O.. I'm proud of you.
|
| K.O.
|
Thanks, guys! This is the greatest day of my life!
|
| Brandon
|
You got carded, eh? Cool. What level are you, K.O.?
|
| K.O.
|
I don't know! I was just so excited about getting my card I got forgot to look.
|
| K.O. looks at his Pow Card, it was Level 00.
|
| K.O.
|
I'm a... a... 0.
|
| Radicles
|
I don't even get why they say 0 is a level. Like, how can nothing be something?
|
| Enid punch Rad on the arm.
|
| Enid
|
Don't sweat it, K.O.. Some people have a starting level when they get their card and some don't.
|
| K.O.
|
Really?? Were you a level 0 when you got your card, Enid?
|
| Enid
|
Um... No, I was a 0.9... and I made level 1 by the end of the day.
|
| Radicles hit Enid on her arm with his elbow.
|
| Radicles
|
What Enid's trying to say, K.O., is that the Pow Card company must have a good reason for thinking you're a level 0.
|
| Enid attempt to punch Radicles, but his levitation hits her hand.
|
| Radicles
|
A ha!
|
| K.O.
|
But I try to be a hero every day... I help people whenever I can... I've even smashed a buncha evil Boxmore bots. I don't get what else they want me to do?
|
| Radicles
|
Look, K.O., I feel ya. Level 0, it's a horrible thing to be... But if we start questioning the highly scientific methods the Pow Card company uses to award its hero levels, well then we cast doubt over everyone's levels.
|
| Radicles' Pow Card buzzes, he look at it and changes from 02 to 00.
|
| Radicles
|
Noooo! That can't be!
|
| Enid
|
You so had that coming, dude!
|
| Enid's Pow Card buzzes, she look at it and changes from 03 to 00.
|
| Enid
|
What did I do???
|
| Brandon's, Ted Viking and Foxy's, Carol's, Mr. Gar's and everyone's Pow Card changes to level 0.
|
| Crinkly Wrinkly
|
The cards have forsaken us! It's the Pow Cardpocalypse!
|
| K.O.
|
Wh-what's... happening?
|
| TV buzzes to Dynamite Walkins hosting.
|
| Dynamite Walkins
|
This is Dynamite Walkins reporting for Action News live from Lakewood Plaza Turbo where a situation is developing...
|
| Radicles
|
I'm a 0! I'm a 0!!!
|
| Dynamite Walkins
|
It seems that widespread hero level resets are occurring on Pow Cards. I repeat, people's Pow Cards are having their hero levels reset to 0! We have reached out to the Pow Card Company for comment on this shocking decision but they have not responded...
|
| Dynamite Walkins' Pow Card buzzes and she look at it.
|
| Dynamite Walkins
|
What?! NOOOOOOO! Tony! Stop filming! Cut! I said cut!!!
|
| Dynamite Walkins punch at the camera, TV buzzing.
|
| Ernesto shows Lord Boxman a paper of "Boxmore Quarterly Report".
|
| Lord Boxman
|
The hero levels are going... up? I made them go down! I reset them all to 0! That's impossible! Who is responsible for this?!
|
| Lord Boxman looks at his computer.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Oh! I bet it's that pipsqueak K.O.! He's undoing my devious plan! Oh he will pay for this! Plus interest!
|
| After the battle, the trio defeat the bots.
|
| Enid
|
Nice battle, y'all.
|
| Rad
|
Yeah, decent. Boxmore didn't bring their "A" game, but it was a solid "B+". Hey, that was super weird when that Shannon ripped out a lock of your hair and then escaped, Enid.
|
| Enid
|
Yeah, and I just got it did, too!
|
| K.O.
|
What are we gonna do with this Jethro carcass?
|
| Rad
|
New garbage can for the breakroom?
|
| The next day, Radicles is lifting boxes higher. His muscles are still going.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Heh heh! No, you won't be breaking your box-lifting record today, Radicles!
|
| Lord Boxman press the button to release the feather, goes to Radicles and tickle his nose. His muscles are struggling. He sneezes and fall down, all of his boxes fall on him.
|
| At the Boxmore camera, Lord Boxman looks at the plaza.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
The Pow Card hero levels are still going up! K.O. is still foiling my plans! Well, if you can't beat'em, hire'em!
|
| Lord Boxman cackling. At the next day, K.O. goes to up top of the bodega, he stares at Boxmore.
|
| K.O.
|
Hmm, what evil surprise do you have up your evil sleeve next, Boxmore?
|
| Boxmore brought K.O. a job application paper.
|
| K.O.
|
A Boxmore job application?
|
| K.O. tosses the paper away.
|
| K.O.
|
As if! I would never work at Boxmore!
|
| Boxmore brought the iPad to K.O., shows Lord Boxman.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Hello, K.O. Finally, we screen-to-face. "Never work at Boxmore", you say? Well, I'm about to make you an offer you can't refuse, K.O.! Come work for me and I promise to stop all my attacks on Lakewood Plaza Turbo!
|
| K.O.
|
You'll... you'll leave the plaza alone...
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Yahuh!
|
| K.O.
|
...If I come work for Boxmore?
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Precisely! Just say "yes" and you will finally become the plaza's savior! Isn't that you've been working towards all along?
|
| K.O.
|
I guess... I don't have a choice! It's what's best for the plaza.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
It's settled then. You start... now!
|
| Boxmore claw grab K.O.. Later, K.O. goes to Lord Boxman's office and sees him looking at the window.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Lakewood Plaza Turbo! What are you going to do now without your precious, little good-luck charm, K.O.? With him out of the way let's see how fare against one of my latest evil creations!
|
| K.O.
|
Hey! We have a deal, Boxman!
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Didn't they teach you to knock at the plaza?
|
| K.O.
|
You said that if I came to work for Boxmore you'd leave the plaza alone! But, but, you were just... lying!
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Oh! I'm so sorry that I told a nasty lie! Heh heh. Not! Grow up, you gullible rube! Did you really think I'd ever stop trying to destroy the plaza? Never! I won't rest until the plaza is rubble!
|
| K.O.
|
Well then, Mr. Lord Boxman, you've given me no choice but to... tender my resignation!
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Excuse me?
|
| K.O.
|
I quit!
|
| Lord Boxman
|
No! You're terminated! Children!
|
| Darrell and Shannon surrounded K.O.. Meanwhile, Rad is sleeping and Enid waking him up.
|
| Enid
|
Rad! Wake up!
|
| Rad fall down and thud.
|
| Rad
|
Ow!
|
| Enid
|
I just found this note in my locker, it's from K.O.. It says "Dear Enid, I have decided to take a job at Boxmore, I am not evil it's just something that I have to do. Find a way to break the news to Rad gently, he is a sensitive soul".
|
| Rad
|
No, I'm not! Lemme see that!
|
| Rad swipe the note from Enid with his Finger Poke.
|
| Rad
|
What are you thinking, little buddy?
|
| Enid
|
This is some Boxmore scheme! We have to do something, he's in trouble!
|
| At to Boxmore, K.O. is scared.
|
| K.O.
|
I'm in trouble!
|
| Lord Boxman rips his shirt while Darrell and Shannon fused into the giant cannon.
|
| Lord Boxman
|
Good news: your troubles are almost over!
|
