[laser fire]

[siren wailing]

[gasp]

Ah, nothing quite
like a day at sea!

The salt in the air,
the wind in your hair...

[laser fire]

And super charged laser blasts
whizzing past your face!

[grunts]

[gasps]

[beeps]

[explosion]



Ha-ha-ha!

And by the way, steel,
you don't have hair.

An ultralink can dream.

Go turbo-- scuba!

Looks like we're home free!

Ha! All that's left to do now
is count our loot! Heh!

Isn't it weird how boats
don't have brakes?

Huh?

Go turbo - flight!

[grunts]

Whoa, way to go,
ro-bro!

Back atcha, tur-bro!

[buzz sound]

Max, I'm picking up
your cell phone.



'scuse me, I oughta
take this.

- [coughs]
- hello?

Hey max,
where are you?

The movie started
ten minutes ago.

Oh, hey sydney.

Oh right.

The movie. Um...

You forgot again, didn't you?

Who, me? No-no-no, never.

I'll be there in a flash--

Uh, never mind.

I'm not in the mood anymore.

- Hello?
- Ahh!

- Syd? Hello??
- Woo-ahh-ahh!

- Yes?
- [sighs]

What's that, like the third
time in a row

You've stood
that poor girl up?

Yeah, this week alone.

Uh, still, she's got
to accept it, max.

That's life as a superhero.

That's the problem, steel.

Sydney doesn't know
I'm a superhero.

Ah, yes.
Good point.

So maybe it's time
I tell her.

Come again?

I've known syd
for awhile now.

She's not just some girl
I have a crush on,

She's one of my closest
friends.

Someone I trust.

Max, don't get me wrong.

I like sydney but what she
doesn't know can't hurt her.

Yeah, but it can hurt
our relationship.

Seems like it already has.

Okay, then it's settled.

Tomorrow, I tell her
the truth.

Tomorrow, I tell sydney
that max mcgrath

Is actually max steel!

Why don't we go after him?

Yeah, he's right there
for the taking!

We could destroy him!

No.

I have something even better
planned for little max steel.

And believe me.

It will be well worth
the wait...

Let's go turbo!

I'm max mcgrath.
Here's my buddy steel.

Yeah, he's an alien.
I generate the power,

Steel has the alien tech
to control it.

Together we combine
into awesome turbo modes.

We take on the bad guys
and save the world.

You know, hero stuff.

We are max steel.

Here ya go...

Large egg cream,
extra whip.

Thanks max.

And thanks for not standing
me up this time, too.

Heh, yah, I deserve that.

So, you said there
was something

You wanted to talk
to me about?

Yes. Uh, actually
there is, ah...

This is it.

- Hmph.
- See, the thing is--

No turning back now.

What I want to tell you is--

Just blurt it out.
Really quick.

I, uh--

Go on, it's just like
ripping off a bandage.

No, it's not.

Huh?

Oh. I said... Nose.

Is... Snot?

You always act so weird
at this coffee shop.

Tell me about it.

Okay, look, sydney, what
I want to tell you is...

I'm max...

And I'm sydney.

But I think we've met.

No, what-what I mean is...

[gulps]

I'm max steel.

No you're not.

Uh, what?

You can't be.
I saw you and max together.

At the same time.

When that dredd guy attacked
us at the bridge, remember?

- She's got you there, buddy.
- Hush.

Look, syd, I'll prove it.

Lemme guess, this is max
steel's secret hideout.

No.

Okay, now, just stand back
and get ready.

I am max steel.

See for yourself!

Go turbo - flight!
[grunts]

Ugh!!!!!!!!!

Ya know, on second thought

I'm not so sure this is such
a good idea.

I mean, what if sydney
has a heart condition?

The shock of this could
cause her to keel over and--

Not now, steel.

Steel?
Who's steel?

- You're about to find out.
- No, she's not.

Hey! Just transform us.

Let's just sleep on
it one more night--

Wha-wha-hey!
Where are you taking us?

Stop!
Cut it out!

Whoa!!!!!
[grunts]

Ya got some nerve!

Yeah, nerves of steel!

Uh...

Whoa-whoa...

[grunts]
what are you doing?

Whoa! Whoaa!!!!
Whoaa!!!!

Uh, max.
I think I'm going to be
going now.

No...!
[grunts]

No wait!

Syd wait, if you just turn
around, you'll believe me.

[sighs]

[disbelief]

I think she believes you.

By all means,
mighty elementor...!

Take a full squadron of
my dreddnaughts!

- [growls]
- whatever it takes
to fetch max steel.

After all, the sooner
we have him...

The sooner we will be able to
execute our master attack.

Indeed.

And we won't forget
your role in this, dredd.

[laughs]
now then, off with you.

Find max steel.

Then, bring him to me.

Hmmm...

That's what we were
waiting for?

That pathetic human's
robot soldiers?!

We shouldn't be taking
orders from him!

Agreed!

Dredd is a worm.

It's bad enough we have
to associate with him at all.

Yes, it is.

Which is why soon,
we won't be.

What are you doing?!

The reason we waited,

The reason we came to see
dredd was not for these bots

But...For this...

Schematics that illustrate how
dredd's turbo siphons function.

How did you get that?

With this technology
and the data I've compiled

On how we four
came to be one...

We'll no longer need
dredd to make use

Of max steel's turbo energy...

We'll simply make max steel
part of us!

[evil laughter]

Whoo-hoo!

This is awesome!

You sure this isn't
too fast?

Wait, does that mean
you can go faster?

Well, yeah.

Then punch it!

So let me get this
straight, steel,

You're the one who
gives max his powers?

Not exactly.
Max's turbo energy
gives him his powers.

I'm more like a conduit that
helps put those powers to use!

Wait, so where does max's
turbo energy come from?

My dad.
See, he invented it.

Okay, so then,
he invented steel, too?

Uh, not exactly.

See, that's what we thought
at first but--

It turns out I'm
from another planet.

You see, I'm an ultralink!

Whoa, so you're an alien?!

- That's the rumor!
- That's... So cool!

Why thank you, sydney!

Ya know, you're pretty cool
yourself!

Yes... Exactly what kind of
alien are you?

I mean, what's an ultralink?

And how did your dad
hook up with steel?

Good question!
Unfortunately, that's all
kinda confidential.

Aw, come on, you've already
told me this much!

No, what he means is,
n-tek is keeping it
confidential from us.

N-tek?
What's n-tek?

[growls]

Time to make our move.

Yeah!
Time to pound max steel!

So those green and white guys
that show up sometimes?

- That's n-tek?
- You got it!

They're kinda this
top secret organization.

Organization for what?

For what?

- Uh, again...
- We don't know.

[sighs]
you guys don't know
a lot of things.

Both:
Tell me about it.

Well, at least tell me what
the 'n' in n-tek stands for.

- Good question.
- Probably "neurotic."

- Whoa!!!!!
- Whoa!

You guys can shoot fire,
too?!

Uh, that wasn't us.

- Friend of yours?
- More like the opposite!

[growls]

Elementor?!
Steel, how did he find us?!

Well, it might have something
to do with us showboating

All over copper canyon...

We've gotta get sydney
outta here!

- [growls]
- I can't shake him!

Steel, you need
to disengage!

What?
Have you lost your mind?!

You've gotta get sydney
to safety!

- But--
- don't argue!

Just lock me into flight
mode and go!

[growls]

- What's going on?!
- Nothing I can't handle.

- [screams]
- now, steel!

I don't know about this, max--

Steel now!!!

[growls]

How's it going, tiny?

You're brave not to run.

[growls]
brave but stupid.

Oh!!!!!

[grunts]

[roars]

Ah!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Ugh!!!!!!!!

Argh!!!!!!!

That's the way
the canyon crumbles...

Y'ah!

No, this is!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

[laughs]

What was that thing?

What's going on?!

That thing was elementor.

He's an ultralink like me.

Well, four ultralinks
in one actually.

Take me up there, so we
can make sure max is okay.

- But I-
- just do it!

Ahh!

Wait, max is gone!

Where is he?!

Don't worry!
I'm sure he's fine.

[struggles]

I never thought I would
say this,

But I wish steel was here.

I could really use strength
mode right about now!

[struggling]

Now, max steel, prepare to
become one with elementor!

Yikes!

[struggle]

Where are you taking me?

We can't just abandon max!

I would never abandon max

But what's most important now
is to get you to safety.

Sorry, but I'm not
that kind of girl!

[whoa]

Ah-ah!

Where are you going?!

Ugh, humans.

[struggling]

I don't understand.

It should've worked!

Max should be a part
of us now!

You idiot.

Let me take a look.

No, me!

Betcha I can fix it!

[fighting]

[grunts]

- Now look here, young lady--
- no, you look...!

That elementor left tracks
from where he landed.

C'mon...

There's max!
You've gotta get down there
and link up with him.

Your strongest when
you're together, right?

Yes but that's easier said
than done.

How am I supposed to get
past elementor?

Let me worry about that.

- But ah--
- don't argue!

Just wait for my cue.

Hmph! Her and max really
are a good match.

Try splicing that wire
with this blue one...

No - use the red!

Idiots, try the green one!

Would you three just be quiet--

[growls]

Ow, that stings!

[grunts]

[whispering]
go...

Wh-whoaaa!

- Looking for me?
- Uh-oh.

[growls]

[chuckles]

[screams]

[growls]

No wonder the device
didn't work.

We need the ultralink engaged
with the human

For the absorption
to take place...

Mmph, max.

Help!

Sydney! I...

[laughs]

Max, please.

[grunts]

Heads up!

Ahhh!

[screams]
ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Oh! Hi.

Hey syd.

I thought I told you to get
sydney outta here!

I tried but she's
as stubborn as you are!

How 'bout you two settle
this later and just make up!

- Right!
- Let's go...

Both:
Turbo - strength!

[gasp]
sydney get to cover.

You will become part of me,
max steel!

Whaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

[screams]
ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

It's cool!
He's with us!

Nice entrance cy.T.Ro.

I came as soon
as ya called, steel!

[screams]

[growls]

I didn't know ya gave me
the directions

To elementor's home address!

I'd say this calls for some
heavy artillery!

I don't think so!

D'ah! He's stuck!

[grunts]

Ugh!!!!!!!!

Syd, find cover!

Go turbo - speed!

[grunts]

Go turbo strength!

It's over, bumpy!

Whoaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

For you, perhaps!

Aim for the orbs
in his head, max!

Go team, good guys!

[gasp]

[growls]

No! Max!

[struggles]

How much longer?

It takes time.

He should be nearly
finished.

Yah! Huh!

[groans]

[struggles]

I'll deal with you
in a moment.

[growls]

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!

[growls]

[scream]
ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Steel!

What?!

Stop him!

Finish him!!!!!

We need more turbo energy
or we're finished!

I'll give it everything
I've got!

[loud grunts]

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Sydney? Sydney?!

Oh no, syd!

Steel, is she okay?

The shock wave of that
blast was full of

So many various
ions and particles

There's no telling how it
may have affected her.

It could have mutated her
cell structure,

Metamorphosed her
blood stream or--

[coughs]

Max steel?

Whoa!

What are you doing here?

And... Where's here?

Or it could've simply wiped
out her short term memory.

- You're kiddin' me.
- Max, steel?

You guys okay?

Jefferson!
Elementor... He's...

He's gone, max.
Soon as we showed up
he vanished into thin air...

Literally.

Thanks for giving us a hand,
muchachos.

[grunt]

Uh, who's this?

This ... This is uh,
this is a civilian.

And it would mean a lot to me
if someone could make sure

She gets home safely.

Oh, uh.

I'll see to it personally, sir.

Why thank you, soldier!

And thank you, ma'am.
For saving me.

What?
I saved max steel?!
No way!

My friends back at school are
never gonna believe this!

[sigh]

Does this mean we have
to tell her who we are

- All over again?
- Nah, let's hold off
on that for awhile.

Turns out you were right,
steel.

What sydney doesn't know
can't hurt her.

- Or us.
- It's like you said,
that's life as a superhero.

So? Where is max steel?

I... Could not find him.

I see.

Well, fret not,
mighty elementor.

We'll capture him yet.

Yes.

Let me know
however I can...

Assist you.

Oh, I certainly shall.

So we're working
with dredd again?

Why?!

Yeah, let's just rebuild
that device

And try taking max steel again!

Fools.

Dredd is more clever
than he looks.

When we struck max the second
time with the ray -

It should've taken
effect immediately.

But it did not.

These schematics were fakes.

Seems dredd trusts us
as much as we trust him.

Indeed.

We'll simply worry
about him later.

The important thing now is
to concert all our efforts...

And finish setting the stage
for this world's annihilation.
