00:00Help!
00:05No! Wait!
00:06Please!
00:07I beg you, don't hurt me!
00:12What the, who is that?
00:21It all started back during the invasion.
00:24My family found themselves trapped in the city and I was just a weaving child.
00:31Okay, now, little one, just stay here, okay?
00:34You understand me? Don't leave this alley no matter what.
00:38Please, don't cry, my beautiful little girl.
00:41They'll all be okay.
00:43I'm gonna come back for you, okay?
00:45I promise. Mommy's not gonna let anything bad happen to you.
00:49Honey, they found us!
00:51We gotta go, now!
00:53Goodbye, dear. I love you.
00:56There was nothing I could do.
00:58But listen to the sound of those horrible, toilet creatures rip my parents limb from limb.
01:06So I closed my eyes tight, wrapped my arms around the thing closest to me and started to pretend I was somebody else.
01:13Somebody stronger.
01:15Someone strong enough to leap out of that dumpster and save my parents from that miserable creature.
01:21But sadly, that wasn't the case.
01:25It was over. And I was all alone.
01:30I wasn't found until the next day when a group of cameramen turned down the alley.
01:34They were scouring the city, looking for survivors.
01:37Well, look at that. A survivor. And she's got a TV for a head. How peculiar.
01:43By then, I had changed.
01:45The laser beams from the scabities somehow mutated me, combining my DNA with that of the television.
01:51From that day on, speaker men watched over me.
01:54We were together for years and years, which technically made the camera people my family.
02:00Though they didn't always see it that way.
02:04Move it, move it, move it!
02:06My new stepdad enrolled me in the military academy so he could keep a close eye on me.
02:11But his attention didn't make me very popular amongst my new peers.
02:21Ha! Nice throw, screen head!
02:29Hey! That's not fair!
02:32I was well behind my peers and struggling to fit in at the academy,
02:37but speaker man wasn't going to let the bullies keep me down for long.
02:42Everybody here hates me. I'm just not as good as everyone else.
02:48I don't belong at this school.
02:50Hey, don't say that. You do belong here.
02:53You just need to figure out what truly makes you special.
02:56But what if there is nothing special about me?
03:00Nonsense. Everyone has something that makes them special.
03:03And until you find what that is, in order for you to catch up with your peers,
03:07you need to work harder than all the rest of them combined. Do you understand me?
03:11He was right. I was going to have to work hard to catch up.
03:15And that's exactly what I did.
03:20Hi-ya!
03:35It's no use. You're just too strong.
03:39I'm never going to be able to beat you up by myself.
03:42Then maybe you should find a way for there to be two of you.
03:45Two of me? That's impossible.
03:48Not if you think outside the box.
04:07Well, well. You've improved.
04:10But let's see just how much.
04:12Take this. And this. And this.
04:17Sorry, little one. But it looks like your training isn't quite over yet.
04:22Time to end our duel.
04:25Huh?
04:31I did not see that coming.
04:34Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
04:38Yes! Now there's just one event left.
04:55Ha-ha-ha! Works every time.
05:03Caught it! Yes!
05:05Caught it! Yes! I won! I won!
05:09I did it! I mastered every discipline there was to learn at the Academy.
05:15My peers finally liked me.
05:18But not everyone was happy.
05:21Hey! She cheated!
05:23No, I didn't!
05:24Yeah, you did. You can't just detach and fly like that. It's no fair.
05:29I didn't know I was being put up against some kind of freak show.
05:32I don't know what came over me.
05:34In that moment, I felt years of unbridled rage rush to the surface.
05:41And then the craziest thing happened.
05:46Oh! What's happening?
05:49All my rage, all those years of untapped anger, somehow I was channeling it all directly into my monitor.
06:00That's enough!
06:05Soldier, report to my office immediately.
06:11I'm sending you into action.
06:13What? But, sir, I haven't even graduated the Academy yet.
06:18Well, we have no other choice.
06:20Recently, the enemy has developed new technology.
06:23A conveyor belt that equips their soldiers with buzzsaw attachments, gliders.
06:27We're sending you and a strike team in to take out the factory they're being made at.
06:31If you're unsuccessful, who knows what other horrifying gadgets and gizmos they may come up with.
06:36But, dad, I mean, sir, what if I'm not ready?
06:41Don't say that. You are ready. I know you are. Here, I want to give you something.
06:47Dad, really?
06:49Make me proud, young lady. Make us all proud.
06:53Which brings us back to where we started.
06:58Come on, there's going to be more Skippities on their way. We need to move. Move!
07:03Ma'am, the factory we're looking for is just two blocks from here. All we need to do is break inside and plant these charges.
07:10With any luck, we'll be back at base camp by sunrise.
07:13Ma'am?
07:14Help! Somebody, please, help me!
07:18I can't believe it! It's really him!
07:23Honey, they found us!
07:27Ma'am? Ma'am, is everything all right?
07:30What? Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, everything is fine. I just... You go on without me.
07:37What?
07:38Stay back! Please! I'm warning you! Please don't eat me!
07:47You think you can just keep hurting people and getting away with it? I don't think so!
07:56All right, a charge is planted. T-minus two minutes until this place glows sky-high.
08:05Take this! And this! And this!
08:10That's the moment it all hit me. This little girl wasn't just afraid of the Skippity. She was afraid of me.
08:18I was supposed to be saving her, but instead, I was just acting like a monster.
08:24What have I become? Who was I?
08:28Come in, ma'am. Come in!
08:30Talk to me. What's the situation?
08:32I'm in big trouble over here.
08:36Don't worry. I'm on my way.
08:39Wait.
08:41Little girl, I need you to wait here for me. Can you do that?
08:46What? You're leaving me?
08:48Look, I promise you, nothing bad is going to happen to you. I'm coming back for you, okay?
08:55I'm not the monster you think I am. I'm a hero.
