It's 5:00 a.m., and Mega Mash Mayhem
is finally releasing limited-edition figurines
of Captain Punch and Monkey Mash!
My favorite characters from my favorite video game of all time.
Wait, I thought Melee Island was your favorite video game.
No, Melee Island is third.
Tiny'mon Crash and Bash is second,
even though Blast Ketchup wants to destroy me,
and Mega Mash Mayhem is number one!
Sold out? They've only been on sale for 13 seconds.
-To the lab!
Where my sisters' new 3D printer
will just make the figurines for me.
Uh, shouldn't we ask them permission first,
or to show us how to use it?
You want me to wake them up for something as small as figurines?
That's rude, Dukey, and besides,
how different can this thing be from the one at school?
Wait, did you type in seven inches or seven feet?
Does inch have the one thingy after it, or two?
"Interactive Movement on Command?" What's that?
That is… not on the 3D printer at school.
"Assembling artificial intelligence and motor response?"
Yeah, this might be a problem.
Whoever that is, stop knocking!
It's your loving brother, and we might have a small problem.
What small problem?
Captain… Punch!
I can't believe you used the 3D printer without our permission.
Well, I can't believe how easy it was
to find the security password in the hidden panel,
and making every third digit irrelevant?
So obvious.
He's getting smarter.
And luckily, everything 3D-printed has a locator chip built in.
And… relax.
I think they were just scared.
Captain Punch and Monkey Mash are the good guys,
and wouldn't hurt a fly,
unless provoked.
Yo! Weird guy and monkey thing,
I'm off to give my future girlfriend a gift.
So… out of my way!
Captain…
-Punch!
Yes!
Today is the day that I, Zizrar, King of the Mole People,
finally launch my attack on the surface!
Well, good morning, freaks.
I suggest you run,
before…
Whoa!
Whoa, you guys look just like Captain Punch and Monkey Mash!
Should I get ready for battle?
I want to assure everyone
that together with these fine special agents,
we will stop the punching guy and ape thing
that are terrorizing our town.
Wherever they are, we will bring them to justice.
And take them down!
Oh, there they are.
Captain… Punch!
Let me guess.
Johnny had something to do with this.
Hey!
Are we in that VR Melee game again where Dukey talks, and…
the cute Mole King plays too?
Please stop that.
Yes! We are in the VR game,
and whoever knocks out Captain Punch and Monkey Mash…
And gets them back to our house, wins.
Right! And if I win,
Susan will wear this victory-slash-love necklace
I bought for her.
Ew. No!
Bling Bling, how fast can you get our Melee Island suits here?
Well, if I text my technicians,
who can then summon my drones,
-I'd say…
Three minutes.
-OK, to locate 'em faster, I say we all -Team up!
No, no, no, no!
I don't want to go with--
Alone again, but I will be victorious,
and Susan will wear my necklace!
Ne…ver!
Now, if I was Monkey Mash and came to life, where would I be?
Ooh, I know! In a tree!
I'm stuck.
Yeah, me too.
Oh, man, I hope we can stop them first.
Then we can finally beat Johnny and those girls I've never seen before.
OK, their names are Susan and Mary.
You've lived next door to them for 14 years.
Now, say it with me.
-Susan and Mary. -But--
No buts! In fact, I just got word
the new game rules are to find them, say their names,
and walk them home.
-But-- -But what?
But what about that guy?
-Oh… -Punch!
You're right. One monkey is no match for two sisters in…
power suits! Ha!
Or… not.
Gotcha!
Eugene, you didn't catch Mary!
But I'm not in love with Mary.
Get her now!
Thanks, Eugene.
And for saving your sister, as you requested,
you promise to wear this shiny symbol of our--
Never!
Huh. I wonder how Johnny's doing.
You really think they'll be here?
There's two things I'm good at, Dog.
Book reports where I never actually read the book, and video games.
Trust me, they'll be here.
Just so you know, we are huge fans.
You're our favorites, in fact!
Switch to max stun.
But you were just supposed to be small figurines on my shelf.
-I feel real guilty. -Don't.
You blast the Captain, I'll crush the monkey.
Now!
-Oh, we lost so bad. -Johnny.
How strong are these video game characters?
Their overall video game power rating is 210,
which is why we use them.
'Cause they're so hard to beat!
-Captain…
I'll hold them off
while you find a way to knock them out!
-Hurry!
Tag, you're it.
That's twice Bling Bling saved our butts today.
But I'm still not wearing that necklace.
Johnny, we can't fight video game
with video game…
Because nothing in Melee Island has a higher overall power rating
than Captain Punch and Monkey Mash.
Try Tiny'Mon Crash and Bash.
Oh, this is not gonna be fun.
You think I am going to help you, Flame-Headed Boy?
Why would I do that? Why, I tell you?
Because helping is nice.
Do you think I need a friend? Is that it?
You think I am lonely here surrounded by Tiny'mon
and not talking people like yourself?
Uh…
So if I help, you will be nicer to me,
and maybe come here, so we can walk and talk,
and use real words, not words like Bon-Bon.
Bon-Bon?
I can actually do better than that.
-Hello?
Eugene, try and lure Captain Punch and Monkey Mash to the park.
And if I do, Susan will wear the necklace?
No, but we need your help.
OK.
OK, the park is in that direction, so…
Yo, idiots!
Oh, this is gonna hurt.
Captain… Punch!
Oof!
Ha ha!
You still haven't knocked me out.
-Isn't that, like, your thing?
Heh! Punch.
Now!
Oh, no, it didn't work!
Wait for it.
Hey, I think they stopped them.
Yes!
Um, are you OK?
Well, my body is still intact,
but my heart is… broken.
I'll wear it for one hour!
Susan and Mary?
I know your names now, and I'd like to walk you home,
but I guess just Mary,
'cause Susan's holding someone's love necklace.
-We totally win again.
Well, this story is wrapping up quite nicely.
Even my arch nemesis
and Captain Punch and Monkey Mash had happy endings.
I have to say,
it will be fun having a friend to talk to in Tiny'mon Land
that uses real words.
Captain… Punch!
And we can take walks,
and maybe even have deep conversations.
Captain… Punch?
I know, right?
Captain Punch.
