[audience cheering]
[rousing music]
[bell dings]
[contestant groans]
[Leo chuckles]
- Insane, that dude is awesome.
- [Spectator] This guy is
head and shoulders
and armpits above the rest.
- An easy victory.
- [Joe] At this rate,
you're bound to win.
Make us proud.
- You are the only one here
fit to be the hero.
- Thank you.
[audience cheering]
Hmm?
[contestants grunting]
[swords clanging]
- Whatever. Lucky shot.
- Oh, this fella's not half bad!
Hey, I think this guy might
give you a run for your
[birds chirping]
- What's up?
Hmm?
Are you going out?
- I'm feeling cooped up lately.
I feel like gettin' some air.
What do you want?
- I, um
I wanna tag along
with you, okay?
- [Max] Seriously?
[light music]
- Where are we going?
- Didn't plan on being
out for very long, so
I ain't got anywhere
specific in mind to go.
- Then let's go
clothes shopping!
[Max groans]
[light music continues]
- What do you think of this one?
You think it's my color?
Adorbs, right?
- Sure. Can we go now?
- [sighs] Then again
I wish they had something
that's a little more my style.
Oh, what about this one?
- [Max] Yeah, it's great.
Get that one.
- I'm just not sold on it yet.
- Jesus H. Christ.
Hey, um, you are a guy, right?
- Uh.
Yeah, well
it doesn't really matter
where I come from.
[Max grunts]
- Hello there, girl. Shall I
show you to the fitting rooms?
- Lead the way.
Thine offer humbles me!
- [Max] Stop it,
nobody talks like that.
- [Demon Lord] Oh,
I almost forgot.
We should buy some
kids clothes too.
- Oh, goodness gracious me.
[giggles]
Just adorable!
- It's not like that.
We're not
You're giving her
the wrong idea! Stop it!
- Ugh, I'm exhausted.
- Don't be a wussy.
You're supposed to be
a hero, remember?
[lively music]
Hang in there, Max.
Once we finish up here,
we're done for the day.
What do you want to eat?
I'll make anything you want.
- Hmm.
Let me think a minute. Huh?
[oil sizzling]
- Sausage samples.
They're finger-lickin' good!
- [chomps] Mmm.
So crisp and juicy!
We should get some!
- Thank you so much. Enjoy.
Wait a minute, aren't you
You're Max, right?
- [Max] Uh, uh, yeah, that's me.
- How exciting!
- You got recognized again,
Maxie.
- Running into you at
a grocery store,
- Good job, hero.
- of all places.
- Shut up.
- [Sales Clerk] Are you his
girlfriend? You must be a model.
- Oh, stop it. You're too kind!
- [Sales Clerk] Uh,
would you mind if I
shook your hand, Mr. Hero?
- Look lady, nobody's called me
a hero in a long time.
[strong grip]
[Max exclaims]
- [Sales Clerk] Small world.
I didn't expect to
see you again.
[tense music]
Guess I'm just lucky. [chuckles]
- It's you.
- Huh?
- Now it makes sense
why you got man hands.
- You always were an expert
when it came to insulting women.
Such chivalry.
I'm about to go on my break.
Why don't we have
a little chat out back?
- What happens if I say no?
[Max grunts]
- [Anego] We wouldn't wanna
cause a scene.
I'm sure you understand.
That is, if your girlfriend
doesn't mind waiting, right?
- Who is this?
- Pretend to be a normal person.
She and I need to have a talk.
You can go on home without me.
- What's going on?
And who the heck is this woman?
- One of Leo's flunkies,
and currently a citizen of the
Gamma Republic, I'm guessing.
- Whoa, whoa. Hold on, Max.
And just who exactly
is she to you?
Hey, don't be like that! Hey!
- She seems nicer than
your previous girlfriends.
- Not my girlfriend.
- [Anego] I don't know, Max.
Looks to me like she's
a little on the younger side.
- [Max] You need to stay
outta my business.
The hell are you doing
in a place like this?
- Oh, you know
Spying on the enemy.
[steady music]
[crowd chattering]
[Demon Lord groans]
- One of Leo's people.
Now I'm curious.
Max told me to
head home without him,
but maybe I ought to keep
an eye on him instead.
Something tells me he might be
in some sort of trouble.
Wait! Oh hell no!
He better not be doing
what I think he's doing
with that floozy!
I'll kick his human ass!
- Pardon me.
You're Max's friend, right?
- [groans] Why, yes.
That's right.
- I can take you
out back to see him.
Would you mind coming with me?
I'm not saying you
have to or anything.
Although if you don't,
you might not ever,
never ever see him again.
- Oh really, you'll take me
to him? You're the best!
Here, thanks so much.
- Here.
How long has it been?
- Let me think here
I last saw you about two years
before you guys defected,
so it's been at least
five years then.
- Sounds about right.
You aged like milk, Max.
- Pft!
- I, on the other hand,
still look great.
Kept up with my training.
That's why I've got
such "man hands."
- How's your bossman
doing these days?
- He's just as spry as ever.
I had a feeling that you'd ask.
You know, he's never
stopped thinking about you
after all this time.
It's always, "I wonder
how Max is doing,"
or, "What do you think
he's up to?"
- [Max] Well, you got
your answer now.
[can thuds and clatters]
[Anego chuckles]
- So I'm assuming that you are
from the Gamma Republic.
- I am.
- Which makes you
a terrorist, right?
Ooh.
[Will groans]
[Will's hand thuds]
- Now you listen to me, toots.
We are not terrorists.
Ya hear me?
The Kingdom is in
the wrong here, not us.
- You're gonna smash
all my eggs.
- How do you possibly think
Leo felt when they forced him
out into that
godforsaken wasteland?
Do you have any idea
how hard we worked
to make that place livable?
And of course,
as soon as those greedy bastards
realized it had magic ore, they-
- [whimpers] I'm sorry!
Don't hurt me, big boy!
[Will and Demon Lord grunts]
I'm guessing by all this,
you're here to try
and recruit Max
to help you fight
against the Kingdom.
- Sounds kind of ridiculous,
doesn't it?
Sure, he killed a demon lord
or whatever.
But what's one retired,
old, washed up loser
joining our ranks
supposed to do for us?
But you know, no one ever shuts
up about Max this and Max that.
So I figured I might as well
play along,
in my own way that is.
- [Demon Lord] Oh, yeah?
You think he's lost it?
You're an idiot.
If you tried to fight Max,
he'd crush your skull
in two seconds flat!
- [Will] I'd like to
see him try.
- So Fred beat me to it, huh?
What did you tell him?
- Turned him down, of course.
I don't wanna get involved.
- Well, that's good, I suppose.
- Is it though?
Aren't you gonna try and drag me
into this bullcrap too?
- Hmm To be honest with you,
that's only part of it.
Here, there's something
I wanna give you.
- Hmm?
- [Anego] Ta-da!
Airship tickets to
the Gamma Republic
with a layover in Trachigo.
As long as you've got
valid tickets,
even residents of the Kingdom
can get in without a problem.
- What a heapin' crock of shit.
Trachigo?
Aren't they just a bunch of
wackos and crazies?
- Well, yeah.
But for us, they're an
important business partner.
Doesn't mean you can't use
their port for a puddle jump.
I think you'd like the trip.
And I think it'd make
the boss happy too.
- [Max] Hmm, I'll think it over.
- [Will] You're too easy
on that chump.
Giving him those tickets
ain't gonna do shit.
You finally found the guy,
and now you're just gonna
let him walk away?
- S'cuse me?
- Please, Max!
Save me from this brute!
This meanie's scaring me!
[Max groans]
- The hell are you doing, Will?
Get your hands off her
this instant.
- Help me
- Sometimes, the situation
calls for
- I'm a damsel
- more dastardly,
drastic measures.
- You think he's gonna come
just 'cause you gave him
- Save me, Max
- a pair of tickets
and a sales pitch?
[Demon Lord grunts]
Now look, now he's got no choice
but to do what we say.
- [sighs] Damn it to hell.
Taking hostages?
Now you're actually doing
the terrorist stuff
that they say we do.
This is what the boss
wants to avoid.
- She's right. You should
listen to man-hands, dude.
- [Anego] Don't call me that.
- Everyone knows that
the Kingdom's spreading
false information about
the Gamma Republic.
It's a bunch of twisted lies.
I'm extending an invite to
you and your girlfriend.
I think you'll like it.
Much more than this
shithole country.
- Hah! "Girlfriend," huh?
Where's this so-called imaginary
girlfriend you'd speak of?
'Cause I don't see
anybody hot enough!
- Huh? Oh real nice, asshole!
Do you care what happens to me?
Hurry up and rescue me,
you damn idiot!
You're a worthless freeloader.
You stupid, lazy bum!
- Are you mooching
off your girl?
- [Will] And here I'd
hope for a chance
to talk to the
world-famous Hero.
What a pathetic joke.
He doesn't even have
the guts to face me
when his little
girlfriend is in trouble.
If we brought this chump to the
boss, he'd just let us down.
- Stop it! Knock it off, Will!
- That's right.
Ain't no point having this
old has-been on your team.
Just wasting my damn time.
- Oh, I agree, but it's not like
I can just let you walk away
now that you know about
the two of us.
- You dumb sack of shit.
You are the one who
came looking for me.
- And you are the overhyped
waste of space I thought.
I knew it all along-
[Demon Lord groans]
[Will screams]
[water splashes]
[Anego sighs]
[Demon Lord giggles]
- Nice, this works perfectly.
If I defend myself,
they might discover who I am,
and that would put you in an
even worse position than before.
- Don't get captured in
the first place, dumbass!
- [sighs] Ah, hell.
[catchy music]
I'm so sorry about that, Max.
He was still just a
little kid ten years ago.
He doesn't understand
what it is you did.
[Will coughs and groans]
We owe you a big apology, too.
For scaring you like that.
- You ought to be
ashamed of yourself!
You'd have to be a
major dingus not to know
how amazingly cool Max is!
- Will?
- I was in the wrong
on everything.
I apologize to you, I am scum.
- Mm. Learning from your
mistakes is important.
Don't go causing
trouble for Leo.
- I won't.
- On that note,
we should head back to
the Gamma Republic.
We were planning on
leaving soon anyway.
- [Max] I might end up snitching
on the two of you to Fred.
- [Anego] [laughs] I'm sure.
That's why we need to
hightail it outta here.
- Take care of yourself.
- Thanks, Max.
Catch ya later!
[pensive music]
- Those buttholes.
We finally go on
a shopping trip,
and they had to ruin it.
- [Max] I'm beat.
- [Demon Lord] So,
you're not gonna take
the Gamma Republic's offer?
- [Max] Not a chance.
Leave me out of it.
- I don't mind tagging
along, you know.
If you do end up deciding
to pay them a little visit.
[gasps] You could overthrow
the corrupt system
and create a brand-new nation
alongside your friend!
I mean, the whole thing
screams the stuff of heroes.
- 'Cause if I did that, then I'd
end up having to fight Fred.
- [Demon Lord] Wait, what?
- [Max] Nevermind.
Let's just go home.
[boat engine revving]
- How's your arm doing?
We're almost back,
so hang in there.
- Okay. Sorry about all that.
- Oh, it's the Seahorse.
Hey there, Joe!
- What's up, Anego?
It's been a long minute.
Oh, hey Will.
- It's good to be back.
Is President Leo on board,
by chance?
- [Joe] Nope, not at the moment.
- Where did he run off to?
- Oh look, just in time.
[water burbling]
[water splashing]
- Hell, yeah! [laughs]
[Leo grunts]
Whoo.
- [Anego] Hey, boss!
- Hmm?
- I still haven't gotten
used to the loin cloth.
- Welcome back, you two!
Perfect timing!
Let's have some breakfast!
[birds chirping]
[phone camera clicks]
- Oh, it's the tickets
that muscle woman gave you
to the Gamma Republic.
Is there a reason you're
taking pictures of them?
- [Max] You can't get your hands
on these babies in the Kingdom.
I can sell 'em online
for some cash.
- [Demon Lord]
You're such a shit.
- [Max] What's the big deal?
She gave 'em to me.
I can use 'em however I want!
- Max! Come on, this is a free
trip to the Gamma Republic.
You're not going?
- Listen, from an
official standpoint,
it's a zone occupied
by terrorists.
It's way too risky
for me to be there.
I'd never be able to come back.
- I feel like reselling tickets
to a place like that
would be the riskier
of the two options.
That's it!
Teleportal!
[laughs] My powers are nearly
back to their full potential.
I put the return point for my
teleportation magic in here.
That way, no matter
what happens anywhere,
we can always come right back.
- [Max] Hey, come on! Don't you
spawn weird crap in my closet.
[Demon Lord whistles]
[door latch clicks]
[clothes rustle]
- You rang, Your Grace?
- Pay attention, Zenia.
I shall be away for two days.
While I'm gone, I need you to
[whispers]
- [Zenia] Of course.
Understood, milord.
Leave it to me.
- [Max] I never agreed
to go, you know.
Why don't you just go
by yourself, Your Grace?
[Demon Lord grunts]
- Please, Max.
How come you won't take
my feelings into consideration?
Do you really hate being seen
in public with me that much?
- No, it's just that I think
Ah!
[upbeat music]
- [laughs]
Ah, so you're finally awake.
It's about time.
There's nowhere to run now.
- Ya got me. Son of a bitch.
How did you do that?
- The Max I knew 10 years ago
would've easily
repelled a simple
grade school mind
enchantment spell like that.
You're taking peace time
for granted, getting sloppy.
- [Max] I'll get you for this.
- [Demon Lord] Yeah, yeah.
But don't worry.
This is only a
reconnaissance mission.
But to be on the safe side,
we must stay aware of
the situation
going on in the Republic.
Totally not a vacation.
Are we clear?
- [Max] Yer in an awfully good
mood for a recon mission.
- Ah, are you seeing this, Max?
The ocean looks incredible
from way up here.
These human airships are
actually pretty cool.
[catchy music]
- [Announcer]
We'll be arriving at
the Trachigo International
Airport momentarily.
All passengers on the deck,
please return to your-
- I know a lot of
Leo's flunkies,
aside from the woman you met.
It'll be a headache
if they spot me.
- Don't you worry.
I've got just the thing for ya.
Put these on.
[Max growls]
[Demon Lord laughs]
- [Demon Lord] Oh my God,
they look perfect on you!
So sophisticated!
- I oughta put you to sleep
for another ten years!
- [Crowd Member] [laughs]
Cannonball!
- Hey look!
There's smoke in the air.
Is there a battle going on?
- [Max] Nah. It's just the
steam from the hot spring.
- Ooh! This city has a hot
spring flowing through it?
How cool!
You know, my hometown had
lava flowing through it
in certain places.
Brings back memories.
- Hello, hello, hello!
Excuse me, hi there.
Howdy do, please help yourself
to a sample of
our delicious hot spring buns.
Have some, don't be shy!
- Ooh!
[chomps] Mm, delicious!
- Go on, have some more!
Eat up, we got plenty, hun!
Oh, and have some tea, too!
- Argh! Lady!
- This place is pretty great,
don't you think?
Where's all the
terroristy stuff?
- Of course, they're gonna
do it up all nice and pretty
at the front door for
all the tourists to see.
I guess they got enough
money to afford it.
- [Demon Lord] So does that
mean you still think
that the Gamma Republic is
an evil den of scumbags?
- Evil has nothin' to do
with it, all right?
This place is a ticking bomb.
It's gonna cause problems,
regardless what the
circumstances are.
As far as the Kingdom is
concerned, it's a nuisance.
End of story.
- You know, it's hard for me
to take you seriously
when you're wearing
those things.
- [Max] Why are you doing this?
- Me?
- [Max] Why's a demon like you
poking their nose into
a stupid argument
between humans?
- Well, I
You humans
If you humans get in
a reckless fight
and end up destroying
each other in the process,
I see it as an absolute win
for all demonkin!
It'll be much easier
for my underlings
to resume their invasion!
And if you were to help
Leo or Fred
and end up meeting your
demise along with them,
that'd be even better for me!
- I'll try not to live up to
your expectations, Your Grace.
- Yo, look at him go!
- Hmm?
- Is that President Leo?
- Hear that? He just said
that Leo's here.
[crowd clamoring]
What could he be doing
to draw such a big crowd?
- Probably gracin' us all
with a pompous speech.
- All right, here goes!
Come on, let's get it!
[laughs] Come on, boys!
Keep at it!
What's he doing with
that big stick?
- Lookin' like a jackass.
- That right there is
what we call "yumomi."
- You again?
[crowd member groaning]
- As it is, the hot spring
is far too hot to bathe in.
And if we were to add
cold water,
it would dilute its
natural mineral content.
So we stir the water
like this instead,
which cools it down to
the perfect temperature.
- Makes a lot of sense.
- Yet this dude's down there
frolickin' in the pre-stirred
water like a maniac.
- Yeah! Pour it all over me!
[laughs]
Whoa, that's hot!
- Guess that's why he's the
Republic's fearless leader.
- Looks like he's just
dickin' around to me.
- All right! That oughta
do it for you, right?
Now, ladies and gents!
Thanks very much!
Now hop in and enjoy
the hot spring!
- He seems to be doing well.
That's good, right?
[pensive music]
- [Max] Heh
He hasn't changed a bit.
- One of these guys is
gonna win the whole thing!
- Yeah, I bet it's gonna
get super heated.
[pensive music continues]
- You do understand, don't you?
The true significance
of this tournament?
- [Max] I do.
- [Leo] Are you prepared
to give your life
in the war against the demons?
- I am!
- Fight!
[bell dings]
[Max screams]
[Leon grunts]
[both grunting]
[swords clanging]
[audience gasping]
- Kick his ass, Leo!
- Beat him to a pulp!
Crush that noob!
[sword thuds]
[Leo groaning]
[Leo and Max grunting]
[swords clanging]
[Max and Leo screaming]
- [Anego] Leo
[both panting]
- Huh?
- Hmm.
[steady music]
[audience applauding]
[Joe and Denetra chuckle]
[Leo laughs]
- Mm.
[Max laughs]
