Border Tug-of-War

[Demon Lord grunts]
[Max grunts]
- It's over, Max!
Infinity Oblivion Nebula!
Wheel of Chaos Theory!
Ha ha! That ball is now in
a swirling galactic vortex!
Once released from the bonds
of its mathematical trajectory
it shall become a comet
and fly past you!
- To the right!
- Too bad!
Wrong way, Max!
Victory is mine.
You were destined to
buy me that iced coffee
from the very beginning.
What? He managed to hit it!
And he utilized the momentum
from the nebulous rotation!
It matters not!
This is child's play
for one such as I!
[ping pong ball cracks]
Oh man. Looks like we
broke another one.
- They just don't make 'em
strong enough.
["One Room Adventure"
by MADKID plays]
[insects chirp]
[gentle music]
- Ah. Worked up a
nice sweat, didn't we?
- Mhm. Sure did.
- Hmm
This water sure does
feel fantastic.
I guess I've gotten used to
that tiny bathroom of yours.
I can stretch my legs out.
Aren't you glad we came?
- I guess so.
- [Demon Lord] Max,
are you out there?
- Yeah. Who do you think
you were talking to?
- [Demon Lord] Can you hand me
one of the big towels?
I forgot to grab one.
- [Max] Sure.
I'm leaving it outside the door.
- [Demon Lord] Oh. Can you
bring it to me instead?
[Max groans]
I'm going to get the floor
all wet if I walk out there.
Please?
- Fine. Whatever.
I'm coming in.
- Okay.
Great. Thanks a whole bunch Max.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Come on!
Ah!
- Knock it off.
[both snoring]
[crowd chattering]
- I'll pass, thanks.
- Oh man. I had a total blast.
- Remind me why we
came here again?
- Attention all pedestrians.
An urgent message direct
from the Republic Patrol.
We are restricting access
to the area surrounding
the Beskar Kingdom-Gamma
Republic border.
- Isn't she the lady
from before?
- Your cooperation
is appreciated.
Please note that
all public transit
outside the restricted zone,
including airship and
water transport,
are operating as normal.
The Republic Patrol thanks you
for your understanding.
- It looks like she didn't
spot us over here.
- Of course she didn't.
- The area near the border.
Wait, that must mean they're
fighting with the Kingdom again.
- Hope everything's okay.
It makes me nervous.
- Do you think there's
about to be a battle?
- Things could get ugly.
We oughta skedaddle.
[vendor laughs]
- Whoa!
- You again?
- [Vendor] You two don't need
to worry about a thing.
This happens all the time.
They're always getting
into little spats
with each other at the border.
Oh, hey, here, you kids
have a free sample.
Look around!
All us locals and gift shop
employees are cool as cucumbers.
We're used to this stuff by now.
- Oh, she's got a point.
- Getting used to big fights
is not really a good thing.
- Hey, we could use this
to our advantage.
Yes. Alright, let's head
for the border.
- Ah!
The hell are you talking about?
- This is the
perfect opportunity
to see both the Kingdom's
and the Republic's
military capabilities.
And now that I think about it,
we haven't done any sort of
reconnaissance so far.
- [Max] Knock yourself out!
You have fun!
I am going home.
[Demon Lord laughs]
- But I'm the one who
has our return tickets.
Oh, and guess what else, Max?
I'm the only one who is able to
teleport us back home. So there.
- [Max] God, I hate you.
Alright, how do you plan on
getting to the border?
Don't tell me you're gonna try
and walk through
the restricted zone.
- Just leave that part to me.
- Say cheese!
Huh?
[Demon Lord laughs]
- I've got some extra pep
in my step today.
Must have been that hot spring!
At this rate, we'll make it
to the border in no time.
[Demon Lord laughs]
Huh?
[Max yells]
You're too heavy!
[Max crashes]
Ugh, I'm exhausted!
You're not exactly
the lightest passenger.
All I ever see you do
is pig out.
I mean, look how pudgy
you are nowadays.
- 'Cause I been eatin' good
That's your fault.
You know I'm right.
- That stone wall
must be the border.
Ha, we might as well sit back
and enjoy the free show, eh?
Let's see how it plays out.
- Fire!
- Same strategy as always,
I see.
- Looks like it.
That's why I went ahead and
sent the boss out
fishing instead.
- Getting him involved
just makes it more dangerous
for everyone.
Return fire!
- Eat this!
[soldiers groan]
- Come on, men! Hang in there!
[soldier snores]
Huh?
- What sort of toys are those?
- Tactical weapons
that expel magic.
Humans who aren't capable
of wielding magic
can use 'em to help the fight.
[electricity crackles]
- Neither side is making
any headway at all.
They look like children
on a playground.
If it were my demonic army
fighting out there,
they would've blown that wall
sky high by now.
- True. The Republic is
one thing,
but I find it hard to believe
the Kingdom's magic weapons
can't obliterate a wall
like that.
- Our artillery is
proving ineffective.
- I can see that.
God damn it.
- There's a possibility
they've cast
an advanced defensive spell
around the wall.
- Impossible. They don't have a
mage with enough skill for that.
- [Vodka] Perhaps they've
attached some sort
of magical device to it.
They already possess magical
bombs loaded with sleeping
and paralysis spells,
which are also worrisome.
But it would appear they're
doing everything they can
to avoid using lethal force.
- [Galmoff] What are you
getting at?
- Nothing. It's just we're not
going to make much progress
if we keep shooting at
each other like this.
Hmm.
I have an idea.
- What is it?
- Hmm
Huh?
Looks like they're retreating.
Really nice work, Denetra.
- [Denetra] That was
a piece of cake.
- Is anyone hurt or injured?
- [Will] Nah. We're all good.
So what's the plan now?
- We stay here and stand guard,
at least until tomorrow.
And we should update
the boss on the situation.
[explosion blasts]
- What the?
- Snap out of it, Will!
Stay low and get ready.
- Do not panic.
I'll stop the bleeding.
[explosion blasts]
Ah! My hair! Not my hair!
[Anego groans]
- [Anego] How in the hell?
They actually got through?
- [Galmoff] Well,
did you kill 'em?
- [Vodka] I grazed
one of them on the arm.
- Then hurry and fire again.
Don't let them get away.
- Please let me
concentrate, sir.
Penetrating the defensive
barrier around that wall
requires considerable amount
of magic on my part.
If they flee their stronghold,
they'll be leaving it empty.
We can take our time destroying
the wall and filling the moat.
[explosion blasts]
- Oh, now that right there was
a brilliant display of magic!
It appears they have a
talented mage in their ranks.
Things are finally
getting interesting.
- He's here.
- Yes indeed. He sure is.
What are you looking at
over there?
[dramatic music]
- [Vodka] Is that?
- It's the boss man!
- It's the boss man!
- Leo!
- Leo!
- Ha! It's the man himself!
- Can't the guy put on some
damn clothes for once?
- [Leo] Could've sworn I sensed
a demonic presence in the air.
Maybe I was worried
for no reason.
- Holy shit!
It's General Leo!
- What are you
waiting for, soldier?
Prepare to fire.
- I promise you one thing.
[Leo groans]
You won't get away with this.
[Leo groans]
There's no way!
[soldiers yell]
- Ha ha! Nice one guys!
Go get him!
- Not exactly
what I'd call subtle.
[rock music]
- Well, that's Leo for you.
- Awesome.
- He didn't even use
magic, did he?
- [Galmoff] You're a monster.
- Captain Galmoff.
During my time in
the Royal Army,
it was a pleasure
serving with you.
But if this is how
the Army intends to behave
while engaging us,
we have no choice
but to put our foot down.
- Resistance is futile.
The Kingdom will stop at nothing
and we will continue
with our operation.
I'm afraid the
peaceful negotiations
you so delusively desire
will never come to pass.
- You are the one who
taught me this, Captain!
That no matter how long
or how difficult,
surrender is never an option!
[explosion blasts]
[all gasp]
[Demon Lord gasps]
- Do you have any clue at all
how much the chief secretary
is suffering because of you?
You are his own
personal nightmare!
I will get rid of you
once and for all!
Huh?
- [Will] Didn't he
get shot a second ago?
- [Denetra] Hit him
right in the throat!
- Deliver a message
to Fred for me:
"Let's have a big
heart to heart.
So that no one has to suffer
any longer from all of this."
[Vodka groans]
Now then, Captain,
I'm gonna need you to
withdraw your troops.
Get outta my sight!
[tense music]
- [Republic Crew] Hey boss!
- What happened, Anego?
Did you get hurt?
Are you okay?
- A-okay!
Just grazed me. That's all.
- Don't move.
You'll make it worse.
- Are you sure you're all right?
- [Anego] I'm fine. No biggie.
- Thanks, big boss man.
We didn't even get a
chance to call you,
but you still showed up anyway.
- Yeah. I just couldn't
shake this feeling
that there was an ominous
demonic presence around.
- Demonic presence?
Maybe it was that
annoying mage of theirs.
You know the one, baldy-locks.
- Could be, but I'm not sure.
It might've been my imagination.
- Well, all in all,
it worked out well in the end.
[Leo laughs]
- Is that a new look
you're going for?
- Hey, don't make fun of me!
- [Anego] You look
better than before.
I'd lose the glasses though.
- Ugh!
Incredible!
And skillfully done.
I knew Leo could do it.
That's the kind of
strength you need
if you wanna lead a country.
- Maybe lower your
standards a little.
- [Demon Lord] This just
serves as another reminder
as to why the Gamma Republic
is able to stand its ground
against the Kingdom.
- Yeah. Well, on the
other side of all that,
it's obvious Leo's the only
source of strength they've got.
How long can they keep it up?
- What do you think
having seen Leo in action?
If you tried to fight him
right now, would you win?
- [Max] Don't be ridiculous.
I ain't a match for someone
like him anymore.
- Oh really?
- [Max] Is that it?
You seen enough?
We should be heading home soon.
- Yeah, you're right.
I got to see Leo's fighting
style with my own eyes.
So I suppose we can pack it up.
You should be grateful.
Thanks to my handy
little teleporter,
we'll be home in a Jiffy.
Got all your things?
- I told you I'm good to go.
- Then come a bit closer.
Teleport!
[Leo grunts]
[Demon Lord screams]
- Hurry! Teleport us!
He's after us!
- What the heck just happened?
- [Max] Leo spotted us!
Do the teleport thing!
Do it now!
- [Demon Lord] Oh wait,
I need a minute. I gotta focus.
- [Leo] Get back here!
- Oh God. He's coming for us!
- That nauseating
demonic presence.
Who are you and
why are you here?
You work for the Demon Lord,
don't you!
- [Max] I can't outrun him.
- That was a wise decision.
Pretty light on your feet,
aren't ya?
Who are you?
- Huh?
- [Demon Lord] It's your
disguise, Max.
It's gotta be the reason
Leo has yet to realize
who you are.
- [Max] Oh yeah.
I completely forgot.
Wait, how are you doing that?
Have you had telepathic powers
this whole damn time?
- [Demon Lord] Well, yeah. Duh!
You don't want Leo to
overhear us, do you?
- Is there a problem?
I seem to remember
asking you a damn question.
If I had to guess, you two are
probably spies for the Kingdom.
- [Demon Lord] Come up
with something. Hurry!
- Oh, dear me. Don't be absurd!
We are but to innocent
passers-by, I assure you.
- [Demon Lord] Oh my God!
You're terrible at this!
- [Max] Shut up. The hell else
do you want me to say?
- Oh, is that so?
The road to the border is
supposed to be closed off
to everyone right now.
- [Demon Lord] What?
Did that just work?
- Well, to be honest,
it doesn't really matter
who you are, actually.
The problem is that thing.
It may look like a child,
but I know what I felt!
An infinite evil, demonic power.
- Whatever do you mean,
young man?
This little pip squeak
is my precious daughter.
- Goo, ga ga.
- What, sweetheart?
- You brought a demon
to the border.
Just what in the hell
are you up to?
If you continue to play
innocent, I'll show no mercy.
- [Demon Lord] We need a plan.
- Look, I'll make you a deal.
I want you to hand over
the demon right now.
You do that much for me,
I'll let you leave unharmed.
[gentle music]
- [Demon Lord] Max,
just do whatever he says.
Don't worry, I've got
my teleportal.
I can always wait for an opening
and then slip away.
- [Max] An opening?
You think he's dumb enough
to let his guard down?
- [Demon Lord] It's fine.
Worst case scenario,
we demons can be resurrected.
It's not that big a deal.
- [Max] You make a good point.
- [Demon Lord] Go on,
hand me over to him.
It's more important
that you escape.
- No can do.
Who would take orders from
a smelly hippie like you?
Not this dude.
- Oh, I like you.
- [Max] I can buy you
ten seconds.
Use it to focus and finish
your teleportation spell.
- I knew it!
You're no ordinary man!
- [Max] Whatever happens,
do not stop casting that spell.
Do it! Let's go!
[Leo grunts]
- [Demon Lord] No matter
what happens,
I cannot stop, no matter what!
- Oh, you sneaky sneaker!
[dramatic music]
[Max grunts]
Huh?
[Leo yells]
You are mine!
Huh?
What's going on?
You're dodging all my attacks.
Seriously, who are you, bro?
- You still haven't figured
it out? Are you kidding me?
- [Demon Lord] It's ready, Max!
- Perfect!
- What's that? Did it say Max?
- [Max] You freaking moron!
Don't say my name!
- [Demon Lord] Whoops. My bad!
- So it's you!
Geez, Max!
Now it all makes sense!
- Let's amscray!
- Hold it, Max!
What the hell are you doing?
Why are you here?
And why in the world are you
hanging out with the demon?
- Sorry, but that's personal.
No comment. I'm afraid.
So, it's been a while.
Glad you're doing so well.
- Hm.
Well, hell.
I should've known
from the beginning.
Of course.
Was my boy Max all along.
Well, I'll be damned.
[Leo laughs]
[Demon Lord screams]
[Max screams]
- I need a freaking nap.
- At least we made it back.
- [Ghost] Ow, that shit
really hurt.
- [Max] Well, we managed to
get out of there in one piece.
Didn't realize I missed it
here so much.
- That Leo Sure was
something else, wasn't he?
- [Max] Yep.
- But hey, you totally
stood your ground out there.
I thought it was
a spectacular fight.
- [Max] Oh yeah?
- And
[gentle music]
The hot spring was
pretty nice, too.
- Huh?
Sure.
What's the matter, milord?
Got something on your mind?
- [Demon Lord] Um, Max?
- [Max] Don't just stare at me
with your creepy forehead eye.
Spit it out.
- [Demon Lord] You
protected me back there.
So, uh
Thanks.
- Hm?
[Max chuckles]
Forget about it.
- But don't you get
the wrong idea, though.
Even if I had been alone,
I would've escaped easily!
- Hmm. Yeah. Whatever.
- [Ghost] I'll kill
both of you, bastards.
Fix the goddamn door.
[Demon Lord laughs]
- I gotta admit, in retrospect,
that was a pretty fun
vacation, right?
- Oh, gimme a break.
It ain't ever happening again.
- [Demon Lord] Not in
the busy season, at least.
[both laugh]
