Combat Wombat (2020) - full transcript

Yeah.

Michael.

What did I say about flying
out-of-bounds during recess?

Let's keep it below
ten feet, mister.

Sorry, miss.

Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six...

I see you, Daniel Furbank.

Eyes closed.

I wasn't peeking.

Yes, you were.

Start again, please.



Ten, nine...

You better get moving,
Mr. Burrows.

Hide somewhere else.

Nope, not here.

Spot's taken, new kid.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

...six, five, four,

three, two, one.

Ready or not,
here I come.

Morning, team.

I hope everyone is
rested and ready to dig.

Today, we are
starting construction

on a very important project.

Teddy, the blueprints, please.



Right, let's see...

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.

These seem to be in order.

Time to check
our safety signs.

Mmm-hmm,
everything seems to be up to code.

Wait.

We're missing
the most important sign.

"No boys allowed."

Perfect.

Huh?

What are you doing in here?

I'm hiding.

You can't hide in here.

Didn't you read the sign?

Uh, what sign?

This is a supersecret fort.

But it's not super-secret
if you know about it.

I, uh...

I'm sorry,
I just moved here.

It's my first day.

So, are you staying
here for long?

Well, my parents really
like Sanctuary City.

So, hopefully for a while.

I mean in my fort.

Oh. Right.

That's okay.

I can find
somewhere else to hide.

Well, I guess it is a waste
of a good hiding spot.

We've decided you can stay.

Besides, we could always use
another worker on the team.

Maggie Diggins.

I kinda run things
around here.

Bradley Burrows.

Can I go on
lunch now, boss?

Mmm, sure.

What's that?

Uh, it's a Bush Bar.
Would you like some?

- Ew.
- Come on. You'll love it.

We can share.

Okay.

Um...

Maybe we can
share one bar.

All right.
All done here. So...

What should we
hang here next?

Hmm...

A photo of us
eating Bush Bars?

Good idea.
Keeps things fresh.

I'm just happy
that we finally have

our own
super-secret fort.

Speaking of,
I better get to work

if we wanna keep
this fort over our heads.

My boss is very strict
when it comes to tardiness.

I'm sure
she'll give you a pass.

I'll race you
to the job site?

Loser has to cook dinner.

We didn't say go yet!

Hope you like
deep-fried Bush Bars!

Hurry up!

Bring in Cuddly Cub.

So, what are you cooking
for dinner tonight?

Watch out!

Is it me,
or do those guys seem to be...

Terrible at their job?

I was gonna
say "inexperienced",

but, yes, that'll work too.

Bradley, did you feel that?

I felt it.

Maggie, sweetheart,
we need to leave.

This way. Quickly.

Bradley, no! We're...
Bradley, we're trapped!

There's no way out!
What are we gonna do Bradley?

We just have
to think with our claws.

Trust me.

Uh.

Ah! I have a plan!

Mags, through here!

Go! I'm right behind you!

Bradley, I'm stuck!
I can't get through.

Hang on!

No, no. Bradley?

Bradley.

Bradley, where are you?

No, Bradley.

Over here!

I've got another one!

No, let go of me!

Miss, I... I need you to
relax while I save you.

Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no.

Bradley?

Bradley!

No!

We've got a hyperventilating
wombat here.

We need oxygen!

Let go of me!

I don't need oxygen!
I need to...

I need to find my husb...

Don't worry, ma'am,
you're safe now.

You've got the Flightless
Feather to thank for that.

Where are we
with that oxygen?

I don't need ox...

It's okay, madam.

You're safe now.

Are you sick of being bullied
with the taunt, "chicken legs, chicken legs,

check out his chicken legs"?

Well, down some
Cass Mass Protein Powder

and you'll have the calves
of a Cassowary King.

Cass Mass Protein Powder.

Breaking news this morning.

Flightless
Feather saves the day once again.

Huh?

Brad?

Bradley?

Bradley?

Huh?

Ah.

Pizza!

I can't believe you, Maggie.

Unlawful entry. Property damage.

Digging without
a safety permit.

What's this?

Theft?

I may have eaten
a slice of their pizza.

What's it gonna take
for you to stop searching?

Finding him.

Maggie! I know this is incredibly
difficult for you to accept, but...

Look, I just...

I don't know what else
can be done.

I wanna read the case file.

This again.

I dug those tunnels,
and I don't make mistakes.

There's gotta be
something in there.

You have photographs,
witness statements.

It was an accident, Maggie!

Regardless, those files are
for law enforcement only.

And the Flightless Feather?

Uh...

He's a superhero,
Maggie!

He enforces the law.

If he was such a hero,
Bradley would still be here.

And I wouldn't be
getting a lecture from you!

This isn't a lecture!

It's a friendly chat. Huh?

Friendly chats
don't involve handcuffs.

Ha! You know very well
those handcuffs

are so you don't eat
my din...

Huh?

You were right
to use the handcuffs.

When are you gonna find
another job, hmm?

There's plenty out there.

I don't need
to find another job.

I need to find Bradley.

It's been six months, Maggie!

What are you
really hoping to find?

My life.

Good evening.
I'm Regina Rogers.

Tonight's top story,
the Flightless Feather

has once again foiled another
brazen robbery attempt,

this time at Marsoupial
Kitchen in the city's south.

It's the fifth incident
this month

by the group being dubbed
the Bushy Tail Bandits.

We've identified their calling
card, which is a hair ball.

Mmm, gross.

We spoke with local possum
earlier today,

who was present during
the attempted robbery.

Well, uh, I was getting
the soup of the day bro

and these robbers
burst into the kitchen.

But they...

But they didn't realize
that this soup, a hero,

was on the menu. Mmm-hmm.

Another verbal treat
for our viewers at home.

Well, you know what
else is a treat, Reggie?

Zoom Plume, for keeping my
feathers smooth and aerodynamic.

I'm so sick
of your stupid face.

Well, this won't
get me through the night.

Oh, no!
We are being robbed!

Somebody help us!

- Cassowary Kick.
- Oh, my sugar drops.

Oh, my sugar drops!

It's Flightless Feather!

He came to save us!

It's your arch nemesis...

Monsieur Peabody!

Monsieur Flightless, it's
time for you to rest in "peas."

How will Flightless
Feather get out of this one?

Bingo, bango,
that's my mango.

Oh, well, fear not.

Here comes his trusty sidekick,
the Gallant Glider,

to offer support
from the sky.

Whoosh!

Super speed engaged.

Dun-na-na-na!

End of the line, bandit scum!

Ow!

Hello!

Please no small talk, please no small
talk, please no small talk.

Welcome to Owlways Open,
where our prices are hooting mad.

Hoot may I help you?

Oh.

Well, we have lots of hoot, hoot,
hooting deals going on at Owlways Open.

We've got two-for-one
Flightless Featherade,

hooty percentage off
Flightless Candy Bars.

Hoot.

Can I at least interest you
in some new Flightless Chili?

Oh!

All righty, just a moment.

Drop bears!

No!

Aren't you three
just the cutest?

How can I help you?

Aw, you're thirsty.

Oh, look, they're thirsty.

Isn't that cute?

You know, people used
to call me cute.

That was before
I got my glasses.

They say carrots are really
good for your eyesight.

I can't eat carrots
because they hurt my teeth.

Well, that wasn't so cu...

That definitely isn't cute!

Do you need a hand with...

I'll be with you
in just a moment.

Okay, uh...

Ow, ow!

Hey, hey, little drop bear?

Get down from there! No, no, no.
You're not allowed to do that.

No, no, please don't eat the chips!
No! No, no!

Not my hat!
You've crossed the line!

Please, please give me
my hat back!

I love that hat!

Aha! Gotcha! See?

Everything is under control!

Wait, what?

Stop wriggling!

Well, that's an unfortunate
turn of events.

I was just saying
that Mr. Owlett

wouldn't be very happy giving
away his food for free?

Let me call head office
and I'll...

No, no, no!

Please don't eat me.

Please don't eat me!
Please don't eat me!

Let go of the Bush Bars!

And the kid too, I guess.
You should probably put him down too.

Huh?

Ooh, Eucalyptus!

Oi, buddy!

How ya doin'?

Uh-oh.

That was awesome!

I am so fired.

Oh, my sugar drops!

You were so, so cool!

You were like,
whoosh, whoosh.

Oh, and then, he tried
to slice you, shoo, shoo.

Yeah, yeah, I remember.

But you were just like,
"I don't think so.

My butt, your face."

Pwah!

Yes, I'm aware.
I was there too.

I'm Sweetie, by the way.

Sweetie?

That's what
my parents call me.

You know like,
"Good night, Sweetie."

My friends call me
Sweetie as well.

Oh, well,
that is if I had friends.

So...

What's your name?

Uh... Babushka!

Babushka the Wombat.

No!

Shh! No, no, no.
I meant your alias, Babushka.

A superhero should never
reveal their true name.

Yeah, I'm not
a superhero, kid.

But you saved the day,
Babushka.

Yeah, really regretting
that name choice now.

But that's what
superheroes do. See?

Step 16 to being a superhero:
Save the day!

That's what you did!

Okay, so I intervened,
but that doesn't make me a superh...

But having a superhero name
is the most important step.

You can't be a superhero
without a name.

Not a superhero.
Don't need a name.

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

How about Butt Woman?

Oh. No.

Or Super-Incredibly-Strong-Butt
Wombat!

No, no, that's too long.

Oh! But Flightless says you need a
name that should match your powers,

so we need something for
those awesome butt moves.

I've got it!

I've got it. I've got it!
This is it. This is it.

Da-na-na-na!

Combat Wombat!

Well,
this is me right here.

Nice meeting you. Bye.

Is this really your house?

Yes.

Babushka...

My name isn't even Babushka!

It's Maggie!

Ooh!

A secret identity.

Anyway, I realized that
you don't have a sidekick.

And I'd make a great one.

Ready for the name?
Ready for the name?

The Gallant Glider!

Say what?

We should hit
the streets later.

Me soaring through the sky,
keeping an eye on you from above.

What do you say?

I'm not going out
looking for trouble.

And neither should you.
You're too young for that.

Too young?

In case you haven't noticed,
I have a mustache!

Flightless says
anyone can be a hero. See?

Chapter fiftee...

Well, I'm closing
this chapter.

And by that I mean,
our brief...

whatever this has been.

Oh.

See ya round.
Or, you know...

hopefully not.

But... But wait! Wait!

You are a superhero!

You just don't know it yet.

And you will meet
your archenemy one day!

Sooner than you think.

Gerald?

What have I told you about looking
at the neighbors sinisterly?

Get inside!

Sorry, Mum!

Oh.

"Anyone can be a hero."

I wish you were right.

Stop, thief!

Watch out!
Here's Ibis!

Masks!

Bushy tails!

Bandit-like behavior!

The Bushy Tail Bandits!

Oh, Flightless,
what should I do?

"In case of a chase sequence"

do nothing?

"Wait for the hero
to arrive"?

What?

Flightless Feather,
coming through!

Oh, my gumdrops!

It's flightless!

Hey, it's me, it's me!

It's your number one fan!

And your trusty sidekick,
the Gallant...

All right, yeah, you...
go take the lead.

You take the lead.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

This can't be happening!

Flightless, he's getting away!

Come on, Sweetie,
it's your time to shine.

Anyone can be a hero.

- Hey, hey, you! You!
- What?

Stop in the name
of Flightless!

Hmm.

Come back!

Parkour!

Wow. Impressive.

Don't look down.
Don't look down.

I looked down!

You can do this, Sweetie.

You can do this.
Don't look, don't look.

Ha-ha! End of the line,
bandit scum.

If only you could fly.

Ha-ha-ha.

- Oh.
- See ya, sucker!

No!

Come on, Sweetie.
You can still catch him!

Careful, careful.

Okay, okay.
Easy now.

You can do this, Sweetie,
you can do this!

All you've got to do
is glide.

Or I could just walk.

I'll just walk.
Walking's just as fast as flying.

Can't skip leg day.

Oh, no. Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, don't close! Don't close!

It's okay, Sweetie.
Everything is gonna be okay.

Just hold on tight
and don't look down.

Don't...

Why do I always look down?

Somebody do something!

We need a hero!

I will save him!

Duh-duh-da-da!

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah!

When I
sip on gumnut coffee,

it gives me
my daily Cassowary Kick!

Things are tense here, folks.

It appears
the young sugar glider

is unwilling or unable
to glide to safety.

He better fly soon or he will become...

...a "sugar faller"
instead.

Oh! I knew it!

I knew he would get himself
into trouble.

Well, what would you do
in this situation?

You would...

let the authorities deal with
it and not get in their way.

Why do you have
to be such a good guy?

Well, it looks like it's gonna rain
anyway, so I can't go out.

Who even took these photos?

Oh, fine, fine, I'm going, I'm going!
Mmm-hmm.

I can't go out
looking like this.

Unless...

nobody knows it's me.

Need bigger hands!

Just let go and glide!

You'll be okay!

Hmm!

Did she just crawl
out of bed?

Is that a onesie?

And we're back, live in
downtown Sanctuary City

where an unidentified wombat

is attempting to save
the young sugar glider.

Oh, no!

The plug!

Woo-hoo!

Sweetie, get off me!

Oh, yeah.

What does it feel like
to be a hero?

Can we get a name?

Go on. Tell them.

Combat.

Combat Wombat.

Combat, is there
anything you want to say

to the animals
of Sanctuary City?

Yeah.

I'm going back to bed.

He can do anything,
darling. He's a chameleon.

No, darling, he's a cassowary,
but he can promote anything.

Who cares if your product
is for fish.

We'll slap some gills on him and
you won't know the difference.

Okay. Bye-bye.

I don't understand, CeCe. I'm not
seeing my name in this article anywhere.

Oh, you may have to
turn the page, darling.

Turn the page?
What do you m...

Page two?

I didn't even know
newspaper's had a second page.

Ugh!

I stopped five robberies.

All she did was
dig a little hole.

I do that all the time.

I dig, like,
seven holes a day to poop!

You poop seven times a day?

Well, I...

I'm a page two superhero who's been
under a lot of stress lately.

Relax, my dear.

It's one measly little article.

It'll be old news by tomorrow.
Nobody will even notice.

Good morning!

Are you all right?

How'd you get in here?

Well, first,
I created an alias

and convinced your neighbors I
was your new roomie. Beep-boop.

Then, I had to...

I left the door
unlocked didn't I?

- Yep.
- Damn it.

Actually, it wasn't even closed.
It was wide open.

Well, that doesn't mean
you can just stroll on in!

Oh, sorry.

Wow! Oh!

Oh, I knew it!
I knew it!

Oh! You are a superhero!

Oh! This is a map of all
the crimes you've solved.

Flightless has one
just like it.

No! Just...

It's nothing.

You can see
the whole city from here.

Ooh, ooh,
this is where I live.

- Stop touching that!
- And that's where I work.

Ooh, and this is where I
take air saxophone lessons.

What?

I knew it! I knew it,
I knew it, I knew it!

And it's your archenemy.
Dun-dun-da!

That's not my archenemy!

Um, then why is he
dressed like that?

It was Halloween!

Hallo-what?

What do you want, Sweetie?

Oh, yes, yes!

I brought you the paper.
Look.

You made front page!

Why are you
so grumpy today anyway?

Oh, I'm a little tired
from saving somebody!

Well, that's the life
we live as superheroes.

Oh, do we?

So tell me, Gallant Glider,

any reason why you couldn't glide
yourself to safety last night?

I...

I needed to save my energy.

Obsessed with superheroes
soaring through the sky

and you can't even fly.

I can so fly!

Maybe in your little make-believe
world, Gallant Glider.

It's not make-believe!

Seriously, how come you never
learned how to glide, huh?

Because!

You're a sugar glider.

Because I never had
anyone to teach me.

I was going to learn but...

Come on, Sweetie.

Oh, we love you, Sweetie.

But I...

I never got to fill out the rest
of the pages with them.

Oh.

All I wanted was to put
one story in my book.

Bradley.

My archenemy in the picture.

He's actually my husband.

- Oh.
- Tunneling accident.

He went missing
and I can't find him.

I lost my job and the love
of my life on the same day.

So, I, uh...

I know you said no more drop-ins, but
I thought I'd drop-in and say thanks...

for last night.

Sanctuary City needs
heroes like you.

Thanks.

But they've already got a hero.
They don't need another.

Well, maybe
it's what you need.

What do you mean?

Maybe it's what you need to get
back out and live your life.

I live my life!

Okay.
Maybe you have a point.

Well, it's better than
sitting at home all day.

Besides, you said
you lost your old job,

so maybe being a superhero
could be your new job?

Superhero?

Those files
are for law enforcement only.

I'd be law enforcement.

You could be
just like Flightless!

Ahh! Saving citizens.

Stopping the bad guys.

Or accessing files.

Your file. Uh...

Huh?

Nothing.

Tonight will go down
in history.

Defender of Sanctuary City,

Combat Wombat!

Except,

you're a little rough
around the edges.

What you need is a sidekick.

Yeah, you weren't gonna let that
opportunity fly past, were you?

A sidekick who can teach you
how to be a true superhero.

Yes!

Oh! Oh! Side kick!

- What was that?
- A side kick.

You know, cause I'm your side...

I'm already regretting this.

All we need to do
is carefully follow

every step in Flightless's
How to Hero book,

and you will be
a superhero in no time.

It's simple science.

Step one:
create your costume.

Ta-da!

Ugh!

Step Two:
perfect the pose.

If we're gonna be heroes,
we need to pose like heroes.

Step three:
get in superhero shape!

Mmm.

Step four: find your superpower!

Cassowary Kick!

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

Butt Power!

Step five: find your
civilian love interest.

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
I already have a love interest!

His name is Bradley.

So now that you've mastered
basics,

it's time to move on to something
a little more interesting.

Come on. Harder.

Faster.

Butt smash!

Butt stomp!

Butt power!

Wow!

Woo-hoo!

Combat Wombat!

Well, I thought
this would be more exciting.

And we haven't even
done anything super yet.

Furbanks will
never call us superheroes.

Well, all we need
is a citizen in need.

I'm a citizen in need!

Well, that's
extremely convenient.

And three, two, one.

Oh, I'm helping!

I'm helping!

You did it, Combat!

Combat! Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

♪ Combat Wombat, yeah ♪

♪ Here to save the day ♪

♪ Combat Wombat here ♪

♪ With her
Best friend Sweetie ♪

Is that my...

Uh-huh.

It's just...

so big.

It's meant to be.

- It's your butt!
- Hmm.

Superhero montage!

Air saxophone solo!

Butt power!

Sweetie?

Look out, Sanctuary City.

Combat Wombat has resurfaced, and
she's not afraid to get her paws dirty.

Yippee!

Bradley?

Oh, my sugar drops!

Look, Combat!

She dressed up as you!

Why, hello there,
young crime fighter.

How are you today?

You've inspired me to give up
my dreams of becoming a doctor

to become a superhero!

- Aw!
- My dad dressed up too.

Aw. Very nice.

We should talk, darling.

Wow! Oh, wow!

Sweetie, why are we even here?

Well, because even Combat
Wombat needs powerful allies.

Can you believe this?

- Look at all this. It's so...
- Pretentious?

Yes!

Preten...

nentionous.

Oh, my Flightless!
Oh, my Flightless!

Oh, what now?

It's
the Sanctuary City Peace Idol!

The symbol of unity
in our city.

This was awarded
to CeCe and Flightless

as a symbol
of eternal gratitude.

Only the greatest
superheroes get one of these.

You, my dear, are no superhero.

You're a superstar!

And what should
all superstars have?

A mansion made out
of strawberry ice cream?

Um, before that, darling.

Um...

A sponsorship deal!

Oh.

CeCe, what's this all about?

It's about you taking
this opportunity

and squeezing it
for all it's worth!

Starting with...

Bush Bars!

Wow.

Where'd they get
the pic of you smiling?

Bush Bars will be the first
building block of your empire.

I want your face to be
everywhere in Sanctuary City.

I'm talking advertising,
sponsorships, merchandise, the works!

And with the Flightless Feather
as your sidekick.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Sidekick?

She's already got a sidekick...

The Gallant Glider.

That name means nothing to me.
Who is that?

Me!

Well, I guess
that could work too.

Look, the point is,
Flightless is out, darling.

You're the next big thing!

However, I will need you to...

how to say this...

cut back on
the hero side of the job

in order
to attend photo shoots,

product promotions,
that sort of thing.

So, what do you say, darling?

You know
what else is a treat?

Featherade's
new savior flavor.

When I sip
on gumnut coffee,

it gives me
my daily Cassowary Kick!

To be honest, CeCe,

I'm not really
interested in the whole

business of being
a superhero.

I appreciate the offer,

but I have another reason
for wanting to do good.

Do you know what this
sponsorship even means, darling?

Free Bush Bars for life!

What?

For life?

Any flavor you want,
it's yours.

And for your sidekick,
Mr. Gallant Glider,

well, who knows?

We might even have
a costume for him.

A costume? Oh!

I'm afraid my answer is still no.
I wanna do this for the right reasons.

How could I be angry
when you're so honest with me?

And to be honest myself,

I actually wish Flightless
was more like you.

Oh, the ego on
that cassowary.

You're a real superhero,
Combat.

Don't ever change.

Breaking news this morning.

Are the Bushy Tail Bandits
back in action?

It has to be them!

The Pawlice found the group's calling
card at each of the locations.

So Flightless wasn't around
to stop any of the robberies.

As much as I hate the guy, he'd done
a good job of stopping them so far.

Uh...

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, my God. Oh.

Ooh!

- It's for you.
- Ugh!

What's it say?

"Welcome to the world
of crime fighting,

Combat Wombat and friend."

It says friend!

- Keep reading.
- Ahh.

If you've been
watching the news,

you'll know we've been
quite busy of late.

Since you're new to the game,

we thought we'd give
you a fighting chance.

Let's see if you really
are koala-fied for the job.

Koala.
Oh.

Our next target
is the Koalaty PR Agency.

We're looking
to book in a powwow

with your little friend, CeCe.

Regards, your new sworn
enemies, the Bushy Tail Bandits!

This is our moment, Sweetie!

If we can take down
the Bushy Tail Bandits,

Furbank will have to
officially make us superheroes.

Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Now from the note,
it looks like the bandits

are planning to steal the Sanctuary
City Peace Idol from CeCe's office.

Remember the time they said "Combat
Wombat and friend" in the note?

Good times.

Ready?

Ready!

Ready!

Frogman?

What are you doing here?

Shoo, shoo, go on,
get outta here!

We're gonna burrow inside
for a surprise attack,

give them no chance
to escape this time.

Wait. Wait.

We are going to burrow?

Our office hours are
9:00 till 5:00, Monday through Friday.

Please call back...

Ow!

My bum!

Shh!

Maggie.
Hey, Maggie.

- Psst! Maggie. Maggie.
- What?

Let's go back-to-back.
It'll look so cool!

Back to... What? Why?

All superheroes do it.

Wha... We are not doing...

Back-to-back.

Here he comes.

The Gallant Glider.

You like sugar drops?

How about a Glider-rang?
Zoom!

The Peace Idol.

- A Bush Bar?
- Huh?

What's going on Combat?

Sweetie?
I think we've been set up.

But why?

Who would do that?

Flightless!

Hey! What are you
doing in here?

Um, I, uh...

left my glasses
here somewhere.

Oh, no!

Can't see without
my glasses.

Hmm, but...

you were just
wearing glasses.

They were on your face!

Hey! Where's the Peace Idol?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
This is all a big mistake.

No need to panic.

Sweetie!
We've gotta go!

Shots fired!

Send me backup!

I can't find
my glasses, Maggie!

- Come on, Sweetie!
- Oh, found them!

Found my glasses.

Let me just adjust them and...

Uh, Maggie, the exit
is on the other side.

Just trust me!

Yippee!

Oh, Gallant Glider,
teach me how to fly!

Combat Wombat, did you
just rob that building?

What do you have
to say for yourself?

Uh, Combat. We might have a
little, tiny bit of a big problem.

Yeah, you think?

How could I have been so stupid?
How did I fall for that?

I knew Flightless Feather was
hiding something. It was always him.

Little one, can you tell me your
thoughts on your "hero," Combat Wombat?

Combat Wombat taught me that
if you believe in yourself,

you can do anything.

I guess that anything
includes robbing people.

You let me down, Combat!

Flightless, have you got
anything to say to Combat Wombat?

Yeah.

You just robbed your
life of freedom, punk.

There you have it, folks.

Combat Wombat
isn't a superhero.

She's a thief.

I'm Regina Rogers,
Sanctuary City News.

You want me to be a thief?

I'll be a thief.

How you...
How you holdin' up?

Sweetie! What...

What are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

They're saying some terrible
things about you on TV.

- Wait, what's that?
- Nothing!

It's none of your business.

Another break-in has
taken place this morning,

this time in
the most unlikely of places:

The Sanctuary City
Pawlice Station.

Huh?

That's... You...

You stole that?

Why?

So I can find my husband.

That's...

That's not something
a superhero would do.

- That's not something you would do.
- Grow up, Sweetie!

This is the only reason I became
a superhero to begin with.

So I could get the information
in this file.

So you never even cared
about any of this?

Why would I?
Look where it's got me.

Or should I say,
look where you've got me.

What does that mean?

None of this
would have happened

if you didn't get me involved in all
of this superhero mess to begin with!

You think this is my fault?

Well, you tell me.

I was doing just fine
when I was by myself.

The way it should be.

You know, you may not want other
animals in your life, but...

some animals...

they need you in theirs.

I really wish
you were here right now.

Do you really have to
make such a mess all the time?

You mean of the living room
or just my life in general?

Both.

He's a good kid.

I know.

You're gonna have to do that thing
you hate doing more than cleaning now.

Apologize?

Mm-hmm.

But don't beat yourself
up about the floor.

Sometimes you need to
make a mess of things

before you can make
sense of things.

What does that mean?

What?

Mm-hmm.

We have a witness
at Sanctuary Plaza,

where it seems the town's
beloved superhero, Combat Wombat,

has not been so super.

Excuse me, sir.
Sir, can you tell me what you saw?

Well, we all came out
when we heard the alarm,

and that's when Combat literally
flew out of the building.

She thought she'd gotten
away with it, but she...

- Huh?
- Hey, do I get paid for this interview?

Huh.

It's the same guy every time!

Bingo!

Sweetie?

Uh, do you need a hand?

Don't worry about it!

I know "helping others"
isn't really your thing now.

Sweetie...

I'm sorry for
what I said earlier.

I was way out of line.

You said that I don't want
other animals in my life,

but I do.

I just...

I can't afford to lose
anyone else that I love.

Hopefully we can...

save the day
one more time together.

Every superhero
needs a costume.

I didn't have much material
left, so it's, you know...

Thank you.

And you were right,
we should save the day!

And I know just how to do it.

But I need my side-kick!

No way!

You did a side-kick!

Come on, Gallant Glider.

Let's go get this guy!

Please, no!

If you have any sense of
compassion...

If you have any sense of
mercy, you'll let us go.

I am a loving brother,
a son, an uncle.

No, wait.

Wait. That's not right.

That doesn't hold
enough gravitas.

I have a family!

And I cannot bear the thought
of never seeing little...

What's a cute name...
something lispy.

Uh, Erica, Lily, Lilith.

Lilith!

That's perfect.

I cannot bear the thought of never
seeing little Lilith's face ever again.

And scene.

I'm the Gallant Glider.

Boo!

Why are you doing this to me?

You set me up.

What are you talking about?

I didn't set up nobody.

I got a note saying CeCe's
office was being robbed!

You were behind it.

I promise!
I never set up nobody!

I'm just an actor!

What?
What did you just say?

I don't know nothin'
about no setup.

Now would you please, please just remove
your butt from my very delicate spine?

Hmm.

My name is Perry Poslowski.

I'm part of a group of actors

hired to make Flightless
look like a real superhero.

Uh, we all play different
roles in his heroic acts.

So it's all just...

make-believe?

Wait, he's not
really a superhero?

Nah, it's all fake, lady.

But it's great dramatic
training for us actors.

Oh, Flightless,
please help me!

I was just robbed!

Much like I was robbed of
my youth as a young possum,

growing up in a broken family
in urban Sanctuary City.

Wow. Yeah.

That is just really,
really good acting,

but we're a bit pressed
for time here.

Backstory is important.

So, what about the criminals?

Yeah, the Bushy Tail Bandits.

You mean the Bushy Tail
Criminal Group?

They're all actors.

Very talented thespians,
if I do say so myself.

I'm doing a show
with these fellas this week

at the Sanctuary City
Community Theatre.

You guys should come along.

Regina Rogers reporting to you
live from the Bird Borough.

Now, we thought we'd seen the
last of the Bushy Tail Bandits,

but they've resurfaced in
a daring daylight robbery

of The Bank
of Shiny Things...

That sound you're hearing

is the crowd cheering
the arrival of Flightless,

who will hopefully bring this
event to a speedy conclusion.

Hey, wait!
You wanna take a few flyers,

pass 'em out to ya friends
for the show this week?

We need the numbers.

All right,
beaks on the floor!

Don't play anything smart on me!

I'm very smart!
I'm smarter than all of you!

Beaks on the floor!
Nests out!

No, I don't think so.
Beaks off the floor, I say.

Oh, you're going down,
Flightless!

That's right.
I am going down.

Downtown with you
in handcuffs.

Let's fight!

Cassowary Kick!

I have been defeated!

He killed the panda!

You...

Me? You!

No, you.

I'm taking you in!

No, no, no, no, no, I'm taking them
in, and then I'm taking you in.

Let's fight!

Cassowary Kick!

Not so convincing when you
have to fight a real hero, huh?

Oh, you're not a real hero!
You're a criminal!

You're a criminal!

- You set me up!
- I set you up?

I never set you up.

Hey, mate.
Was there an update to the script?

I don't know!

I am completely lost!

Oh, sure,
just like you never set up

all of the crime
you've thwarted.

What are you talking about?

I never set up anything.

Now for the love of Flightless,
if you don't let me go,

the Bushy Tail Bandits
are gonna get away.

Nobody is getting away
because none of this is real!

What? What are you
talking about?

What? Can't you see?

They're not real criminals.

They're just actors.

What do you mean?

It's all fake, Flightless.

No, that can't be.

So, this is all
just make-believe?

You really didn't know?

Wait a minute...

Flightless, if you didn't know about
any of this, then that means...

You just couldn't
leave well enough alone,

could you, darling?

Wow.

It's really dark
over in that corner.

Out!

All of you!

CeCe,

why did you set me up?

You were constantly
taking the spotlight

away from Flightless,
ruining my business in the process!

Do you know how many sponsors dropped
out after you came on the scene?

You know, it didn't have
to be this way, Combat.

We could have made a lot
of money together.

But, no, you just wanted to be
a hero for the right reasons.

Uh, so did I.

Ugh, you got what you wanted.

I fake a few crimes,
you get to stroke your ego,

and sponsorship deals
keeping rolling in.

I may be vain,
but I actually thought

that I was doing some good
in the world.

But you were, darling.

You're a celebrity!

You gave everyday nobodies
something to look up to.

Now, you're going
to do your job

like the good little
superhero boy that you are

and convince everyone that
you've saved the day once again.

Mr. Flightless.
Mr. Flightless.

I was a nobody once.

But you made me feel
like a somebody.

You want a hero, CeCe?

You've got it.

Cassowary Kick!

Hmm.

Flightless!

Well, well.

Who knew you
could actually fly?

You would be
nothing without me!

I even collapsed an entire
stadium so you could be the hero.

- Where is my thanks?
- You?

You killed my husband!

Oh, it's not personal darling.

It's strictly business.

You're a monster!

You know, it's funny.

I've made a fortune representing
those who wear masks.

But I suppose I've been
wearing one myself all along.

But now that
you've ruined that,

I guess it's time to
start being myself again!

CeCe's a Drop Bear!

Combat, what's the plan?

Run.
Definitely run!

Flightless!

I'm a fraud.

I don't even know
how to tie my own shoes.

Flightless!

Run!

Come on,
Mr. Flightless.

Run!

Okay, give me a rundown.

Chief, I need you to
get Sweetie to safety.

It's too dangerous here.

No! No way, no way!
I'm not leaving you!

I can't risk you getting hurt.

I'll lead her away
from everyone.

Flightless, follow me.

Time to be a real hero.

Come on!
We're almost there.

Okay, what's the plan?
The plan, what is it?

Have we got one?
You've got a plan haven't you?

I haven't, so if you've got a
plan, a plan would be great.

Bring it out now.

All right,
listen up, Flightless.

When I say so,
get ready to move.

Almost there.

Yes!

End of the line,
bandit scum!

That was
a really bad idea.

Sweetie, get out of here!

We're running out of time!

Sweetie.

You're going
to have to let go!

Wait, what?
Let go?

Oh, I can't do this, Maggie.

You know what you need
to do, Flightless Feather.

You can do this!

I believe in you!

No! No, no, no, no, no!
Wait! Wait, wait!

- Cassowary Kick!
- Butt Power!

Sweetie, jump!

Oh, I did it!
I actually did it!

I'm flying!

Woo-hoo!

Wing-suit engaged.

Yes, yes!
Woo-hoo!

Nice work,
Flightless Feather.

Oh, Gallant
Glider, you are so cool.

I want to be like you.

Woo-hoo!

What?

Huh?

Please don't tell me
that's a...

It's a butt!

It's just...

so big.

It's meant to be.

It's your butt.

Combat!

We've actually forget to tick
off one last step in the book.

Step 21: Epil...

Epi-low... Epi-logue...

Epilogue!

All right.
I think I can do this one.

My name is Maggie Diggins.

I like sleeping in,
Bush Bars, and bad TV.

I also like to dress up
in a ridiculous costume

and save animals
from time to time.

But this mask
isn't what makes me a hero.

Being a hero is about putting the
needs of others above your own.

It's being brave
and overcoming your fears.

It's being the very best
version of yourself.

And I don't know why anyone would
want to hide that behind a mask.

Huh.

I love you, Bradley.

Thank you.

For everything.

Ready?

Ready.
