Level 1 Demon Lord & One Room Hero (2023) s01e11 Episode Script
The Hero, Covered in Mud
1
- I swear, your injuries put me
to work every single time.
You're always rushing in there
like some kind of lunatic.
- Thanks a bunch for
the assist, Fred.
Without you, I'd probably have
died a long time ago.
- Yeah, you're not wrong.
And you're not the only one
with this problem either.
But you are a bigger pain
in the ass than most.
Here.
- Oh. Huh?
What is it?
- [Fred] If you're faced
with low level magic,
that amulet should
counteract it,
hopefully put your mind at ease.
- Wait, really?
Thanks a ton, my friend!
- [Fred] Use it.
So I'm not constantly
having to heal you, got it?
[Leo chuckles]
- Give me a break.
Why can't Fred just be
honest for once?
- You're not wrong there.
I guess the guy could stand
to be less abrasive, huh?
Choose his words better.
- And while Leo's
not any better,
he's way too reckless out there.
It's like he
doesn't even see it,
how Fred worries
about him so much.
All that strength and yet just
zero emotional intelligence.
Fred's going to blow up
on him eventually.
- Wow. Now that's
awfully perceptive.
- Yeah,
but as long as they keep
flirting with each other,
they should be fine.
- Knock it off!
- What?
- [Max] Flirting?
- Stop doing that!
- What do you mean, Fred?
- If anything ever happens,
you're going to
have to play referee.
You do know that, right?
- Wait, what now?
You think so?
I don't know.
Seems like a big responsibility.
- Well, it's going to fall on
you, Max. Don't forget.
[Yuria screaming]
- [Sara] Things are
getting pretty dicey
between the Hero
and his friends.
- Now's not the time
for a play by play!
I'm gonna have
a fricking baby here!
- You okay? Just hang in there
a little longer, sweetie!
[Yuria continues screaming]
["One Room Adventure"

[wind blowing]
- [Reporter] What the?
Something fell from the sky.
- Wait, is that another one?
- You have got to be kidding me.
- Hmm.
[Max groans]
- Who the heck just showed up?
- Kind of feel like
I know him from somewhere.
- Wait a minute.
Is that Max the Hero?
- Oh God. Why does he
look so old?
He aged like milk. Ew!
- [Max] [groaning]
Jesus H. That hurt like hell.
Maybe I shouldn't
have come here.
Too old for this shit,
I swear.
- [Reporter] Mr. Minister, do
you believe Chief Secretary Fred
has been thrown
under the proverbial bus?
- That is not my understanding
of the present circumstances.
If worse comes to worst,
the Royal Army is prepared
to act accordingly.
- [Reporter 2] And what would
be the worst case scenario
in this situation?
Is it possible, in your opinion,
that the Kingdom is in danger?
The people need to know!
- The situation poses
absolutely no threat
to the lives or safety of the
Kingdom citizens at this time.
I urge all to remain calm
and go about your business.
- [Reporter 3] Sir,
I have a question.
- Minister, it seems
Max the Hero
has just appeared at
the scene of the battle.
[George gasps]
[shutters clicking]
- You see there, little missy?
What did I tell you?
- This is perfect.
Now if we can just get
the Hero to stop Leo.
- You say that as if
it's gonna be easy.
Max is no spring chicken.
And even if he does win,
I can't imagine he would bend
to the will of the Kingdom
all of a sudden.
- Ha, just ignore her.
Look, it's starting now.
- Why would you even bother
showing up now?
- [scoffs]
The Mighty Hero has come
to rescue the kingdom in crisis.
- "A kingdom in crisis?"
Oh, don't flatter yourself.
You're not nearly as big a deal
as you seem to think you are.
- [Leo] I'll take you both on
if I have to,
to protect this land
and its people.
- Acting all righteous, are we?
You and your little criminal pal
seized this land illegally.
- The Kingdom is the one
who tried to steal
our land, asshole!
Even you should be able
to see that.
- Shut the hell up, both of ya!
"Kingdom" this,
"Republic" that
always the same dumb
bullshit over and over.
Gotta be honest,
I'm sick of hearing it.
Now I gotta smash
both you jackasses,
so I don't have to hear
you two bitch anymore.
[energetic music]
- [Menehild] Huh?
- Yep. I could have told you
that was gonna happen.
Now, with that said,
let's sit back
and enjoy the
mudslinging contest.
- What "dumb bullshit"?
You can't be serious.
What would a sad loser
like you know anyway?
Try minding your
own business for once.
- I wish I could.
Whatever it is
you're fighting for,
I really don't give a shit.
But now you pissed me off,
so it's personal.
I didn't want this,
but you bastards screwed
everything up!
- I don't understand
what's going on.
But I'm guessing you
didn't come here
to act as Fred's backup,
did you?
[energetic rock music continues]
[all growling]
I don't care either way.
It's fine by me.
[Max exhales]
[Fred exhales]
[Leo chuckles]
Let's keep it simple.
There's only one rule.
The last man standing
is the winner.
Max! Fred! Let's go!
- You idiots asked for this!
I'll teach you a lesson
the hard way!
[energetic rock music continues]
[Max yells]
[Reporter screams]
[Max panting]
[Leo grunting]
- How very splendid.
This video shall prove
most valuable.
Though all we can do at
this precise moment is watch.
Zeeman, you have thoughts?
- Perhaps it's punishment for
our actions thus far.
[Max and Leo grunting]
- What's the matter, Max?
Looking a little slow.
- Shut up!
[Leo gasps]
[Max yells]
Huh?
- You talked up a big game
and even whipped out
the Holy Blade.
[tense music]
[Max panting]
So what is going on?
Tell me, Max.
- Gimme a damn break.
It's been a decade
since I did this shit.
I can't fight forever.
I'm an old-ass man.
- We're all the same age, dude.
- You stay out of this.
What a disappointment.
"Hero" my ass.
How ridiculous.
Don't make an even bigger
fool of yourself.
I'll put you in the
damn ground right now!
[dramatic music]
[Fred yells]
[shooting fades]
[Fred panting]
[drone whirring]
- Max, are you..?
[spectators gasping]
[gasping]
- [Photographer] Is he,
like, dead or..?
[all gasping]
- [Max] It's no use.
No way I can win this.
I should have known better
from the start.
Leaving my apartment for
this fight was a dumb idea.
- Don't you dare give up!
- Huh?
[wind blowing]
- Hey, uh, Lord Behemoth?
Take care of these guys,
would you please?
[groans]
[dramatic music]
[dragon roars]
[dramatic music continues]
- Don't you dare give up!
- "Don't give up," he says.
Gonna need more than
a pep talk, Max.
How are we supposed to
slay this thing?
It's as big as a frigging house.
So long as it's up there, not
even Blazebringer can reach it.
And sadly, our attacks spells
aren't very effective
at this range either.
Why did we try to
fight this thing?
We must have been completely
out of our damn minds!
- Don't sweat it, my comrades.
I'll be your shield!
- Have you forgotten who has to
heal your ass every single time?
- How many more times
can you cast that
healing spell of yours?
- [Fred] About four
or five at most.
And it's getting weaker.
I swear. This is exactly
why I said
we should just leave the
damn thing alone and go up
- Dwelling on the past
won't change anything.
So when Max tells us
not to give up,
we make sure to fight
with every last ounce of
strength we've got left.
- Thank you.
- Now that's the spirit, Yuria.
- I believe in Max,
you, and even Fred.
- [sighs]
I'm assuming you have a bite
to go along with
that bark of yours.
- I sure do.
Because when my spells
won't do the trick
then I suppose our only
other choice is the sword.
[Yuria groaning]
Open wide, Max.
- Ah
- [Both] Huh?
- Full Maximum Drive.
The full force of
my incredible magic
condensed into
a bite-sized treat.
And just so you know,
you only get one shot.
So finish this off
while you have the chance.
[dramatic music continues]
- Go and kick his ass, Max!
- Kill it before the wall
comes crumbling down.
[Max yelling]
[Max groaning]
- You are a persistent bastard.
What? Do you really want
another beat down?
[Leo chuckles]
[Max grunting]
[dramatic music continues]
[gasps]
Is that what I think..?
[Max groaning]
[candy crunching]
[chewing]
[swallowing]
[Sara gasps]
[Yuria screaming]
[dramatic music continues]
- Okay, I see what's going on.
Brings back memories.
- Yeah. Well, it figures.
Sticking her nose
where it doesn't belong.
- [Yuria] Max, can you hear me?
- [Max] Yeah, I'm listening.
- No reply needed.
This is just a recording.
- Hmm.
- [Yuria] You do remember,
don't you?
Maximum Drive isn't
a long-lasting spell.
I suggest you settle this
before its effects wear off.
Then again, I'm sure those two
have figured that out by now.
- [Max] Yeah, probably.
- [Yuria] Max, I'm sorry
I couldn't be there
to help in person.
But we can't have
a pregnant lady
running around on a
battlefield now, can we?
So don't you go dying on me.
[laughs]
I know you can do it,
Max the Hero.
Now go!
Get these two morons
to stop all this nonsense!
- Nosy bitch! Why don't you
go back home and
[valiant music]
[Max yells]
[Fred whimpers, then gasps]
[valiant music continues]
- There's no
going back now, Max.
Give me your best shot.
Everything you've got.
[valiant music continues]
[Max grunting]
[Max and Leo grunting]
[mountain explodes]
- [panting]
Damn it, boss.
A kid?
Can you hear me, kid?
Are you all right?
- Yes. I'm gonna be fine.
Hey, I know you.
You're that guy from
the thingy, right?
- What?
- [gasps]
Wait, what happened to Max?
Do you have a smartphone
or something?
[Max and Leo grunting]
[valiant music]
- So how about it, Max?
Do you think you can defeat me?
I know you've got
Yuria's Maximum Drive,
but it won't last forever.
- Good God!
Quit your squawking already,
you dumb prick!
- Kick his ass!
- [Zenia] And this wire
goes here.
[Max and Leo yelling]
- What the hell is
wrong with you guys?
And why are we the ones
who are out here fighting
like a bunch of
schoolyard children?
Leo, you started this whole
thing by defying the Kingdom.
Max, if you had just cooperated
with us in the first place,
we could have solved this
without having to
pulverize each other.
What now, Fred?
How do you plan on fixing this?
Max, let's assume
you manage to beat us.
What will it change?
Are you going to take my place
as the Kingdom's lapdog?
And what about Yuria?
How did I surround myself with
the world's biggest imbeciles?
[dramatic music continues]
Or am I the imbecile?
[laughs]
[Max panting]
[Leo panting]
[Max shouts]
[Leo shouts]
[Max grunts]
[Leo choking]
[both panting]
- Max, look out behind you.
[dramatic music]
- [Fred] Selfish,
inconsiderate bastards.
Every last one of you!
[dramatic music continues]
I've had about enough!
You're dead,
you sons of bitches!
[dramatic music continues]
What the
[Fred gasps]
[valiant music]
- You
You really are the Demon
[Max shouts]
Ah!
[Max laughs]
- [groaning]
Oh, so painful! Ah!
Oh God, everything hurts.
[groans]
- He did it!
The Hero beat them both!
- But, uh, are we sure
that's a good thing?
- What's gonna happen now?
I mean, what's the Kingdom
gonna do about this?
- Come here.
[Max panting]
Let's see. Camera. Camera.
Oh, up there.
[panting]
[bodies thud]
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for everything!
- [Both] Huh?
- Huh?
- Huh?
- My friends, Leo and Fred,
they made a huge mess and
dragged everyone else into it.
I didn't want that. Nobody did.
But But please
everyone who's watching this,
tell me what I'm supposed to do.
Tell me how to make it all end.
[solemn music]
- Max, what the heck
are you doing?
[solemn music continues]
- [Max] Please.
I don't want my friends
to fight anymore.
I'm begging you.
There has to be a way
to settle this.
I just want to be with
my friends again!
I'll do whatever it takes.
Just tell me, please!
Please, please!
Help me get
my friends back, please.
That's all I want.

Oh, up there.
[panting]
[bodies thud]
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for everything!
- [Both] Huh?
- Huh?
- Huh?
- My friends, Leo and Fred,
they made a huge mess and
dragged everyone else into it.
I didn't want that. Nobody did.
But But please
everyone who's watching this,
tell me what I'm supposed to do.
Tell me how to make it all end.
[solemn music]
- Max, what the heck
are you doing?
[solemn music continues]
- [Max] Please.
I don't want my friends
to fight anymore.
I'm begging you.
There has to be a way
to settle this.
I just want to be with
my friends again!
I'll do whatever it takes.
Just tell me, please!
Please, please!
Help me get
my friends back, please.
That's all I want.
