? GO ON ?

Virgil: "THIS WAS THE FINAL SHOWDOWN:

"GOOD VS. EVIL.

"SOUL POWER BRACED HIMSELF.

"WOULD HIS SUPERPOWERS STAND UP TO...

THE HORRIBLE HATS OF THE HABERDASHER?"

HA HA! DIG THAT.

SOUL POWER'S SCARED OF HATS.

BOY, DON'T BE DISSIN' SOUL POWER.

THOSE HATS ARE DEADLY.

COME ON, MR. GRANT.

HOW DANGEROUS CAN A HAT BE?

OH, LEAVE THE BOY ALONE, MORRIS,

AND QUIT INTERRUPTING.

I KEEP HOPING MAYBE THIS TIME

THAT ARROGANT SOUL POWER GETS IT IN THE CHOPS.

DENNIS, I'M THIS CLOSE TO GIVIN' YOU A KNUCKLE SANDWICH.

JUST KEEP READING IT, SPARKY.

AND GIVE IT SOME SIXTIES' GROOVE.

YOU KIDS TODAY HAVE NO SENSE OF STYLE. BACK IN MY DAY--

NOT AGAIN.

CARS WERE FASTER, THREADS WERE FINER,

AND THE GIRLS WERE FOXY.

OH... MM-MMM!

THAT'S IT. LUNCHBREAK.

HEY, YOU'RE NOT DONE WITH SOUL POWER.

TRUST ME, I'M DONE WITH SOUL POWER.

STAY TUNED FOR WEATHER AND SPORTS AFTER THESE MESSAGES.

SHARON, YOU GOTTA LET ME GO HOME, PLEASE?

WHAT'S WRONG NOW?

IT'S MR. GRANT. HE'S MAKING ME CRAZY.

VIRGIL, YOU SAID

YOU'D COME HERE TO THE RETIREMENT HOME TO HELP ME.

NOW YOU WANNA LEAVE ME SHORTHANDED.

WHAT KINDA HELP IS THAT?

BUT I--

THIS IS COMMUNITY SERVICE, VIRGIL.

IT'S YOUR DUTY AS A CITIZEN.

BESIDES, YOU COULD LEARN A FEW THINGS FROM THE OLDER GENERATION.

LIKE WHAT?

HOW TO ANNOY PEOPLE?

WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST FOR A SPECIAL REPORT.

A MAJOR CRIME IS IN PROGRESS AT THE DAKOTA MUSEUM OF TECHNOLOGY.

IT BEGAN JUST MOMENTS AGO.

UH-OH. LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIME FOR MY KIND

WHOA! SLOW DOWN, BOY. WHERE'S THE FIRE?

WHA-AH-AAH!

GOOD-BYE, OLD FOLKS. HELLO--

STATIC?

MR. GRANT?

? YEAH ?

HUH. WELL, I GUESS YOU'RE WONDERING, "WHAT'S WITH THE COSTUME?"

WELL, I, UM--

DON'T SWEAT IT, BOY. I KNEW YOU WERE STATIC WHEN I FIRST MET YOU.

WHA--YOU DID?

YEP. I CAN FEEL THE ELECTRICAL FIELD AROUND YOU.

WHOA, HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

BECAUSE I HAVE A SECRET IDENTITY, TOO.

THIS'LL HELP YOU RECOGNIZE ME.

YOU'RE...

THE LONE RANGER?

NO, BOY, IT'S ME-- SOUL POWER.

WHAT?!

AND YOU'RE GONNA TAKE ME WITH YOU TO THAT MUSEUM.

WHOA, MAN, ARE YOU TRIPPIN'?

WHY WOULD I DO A WHACK THING LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, I'LL TELL ALL MY FRIENDS

I MET A REAL SUPERHERO TODAY:

VIRGIL HAWKINS.

NO WAY. YOU CAN'T BLACKMAIL ME.

YOU'RE NOT GOIN', AND THAT'S FINAL.

WHOA! WHOA!

OOH! OOH!

ARE YOU SURE YOU WON'T FALL?

OF COURSE NOT.

HECK, IN MY DAY,

I GOT AROUND BY SURFING THE POWER LINES.

THEY HAD ELECTRICITY IN YOUR DAY?

DON'T BE FLIP, SPARKY.

PLEASE DON'T CALL ME "SPARKY."

HEY, HOW'D YOU GET TO BE A SUPERHERO ANYWAY?

IT ALL STARTED IN THE EARLY SIXTIES.

I WAS JUST A NORMAL CAT UNTIL I GOT IN THE WAY OF SOME THUGS

THAT WANTED TO TRASH HOOVER DAM.

TRANSFORMER BLEW, GIVING ME THE POWER OF 10 TURBINES.

I FOUGHT ALL SORTS OF SCUM IN MY DAY,

BUT THE WORST OF THEM ALL WAS MY ARCH ENEMY-- PROFESSOR MENACE.

PROFESSOR MENACE?

WHAT? WAS THE NAME DR. BAD DUDE ALREADY TAKEN?

LAUGH ALL YOU WANT, KID,

BUT MENACE CAME THIS CLOSE TO TAKIN' OVER THE WORLD.

BACK IN '63, WE HAD OUR LAST BIG BATTLE.

I HAD JUST ABOUT BEAT HIM WHEN HE SUDDENLY STEPPED BACK, HIT A SWITCH,

AND HIS WHOLE LAB EXPLODED.

I GOT OUT OK,

BUT I NEVER DID FIND ANY TRACE OF HIM.

A BAD GUY WHO WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD-- HEH!

THAT'S ORIGINAL.

WAS HE GONNA DO IT ALL BY HIMSELF

OR DID HE HAVE HELP?

HE USED ROBOTS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONES AT THE MUSEUM.

WHAT?

THAT'S WHY I HAD TO COME WITH YOU.

THOSE ROBOTS ON TV ONCE BELONGED TO...

PROFESSOR MENACE.

RIGHT ON!

HEY, COME BACK HERE!

[SIRENS]

[GUNSHOTS]

YEP. THOSE ARE THEM, ALL RIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES WORK.

BE RIGHT BACK.

NO. WAIT! WAIT!

HUH?

AAH!

YOU KIDS TODAY DON'T LISTEN, DO YA?

I TOLD YOU, PROFESSOR MENACE WAS MY ARCH ENEMY.

THAT MEANS HE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT SOMEONE WITH ELECTRICAL POWERS.

OK, OK!

SO MAYBE I CAN'T FIRE RIGHT AT THESE OLD SCHOOL JUNK PILES,

BUT I HAVE OTHER TRICKS UP MY SLEEVE.

SEE? THESE OVERSIZED WIND-UP TOYS MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BOMB

BACK IN YOUR DAY, BUT TO ME--

LOOK OUT!

WHOA! UH-OH!

ARGH!

WHAT'S--WHAT'S HAPPENING?

HE'S DRAING YOU!

AHH...

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE...

SOUL...

POWER!

HA!

HUNH!

HUNH! HAHH!

AHH...UH!

UHH!

BACK OFF!

MENACE, I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING.

IT'S ME--SOUL POWER.

HELLO, OLD FOE.

AND I DO STRESS THE WORD "OLD."

WHAT A SURPRISE TO FIND YOU STILL ALIVE, IF ONLY BARELY.

HOW CAN YOU STILL BE SO YOUNG?

[CHUCKLES]

WHEN I DESTROYED MY LABORATORY,

I SECRETLY SLIPPED INTO A HIDDEN CHAMBER.

THERE, I WAS CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN AND PRESERVED.

NOW I'VE REAWAKENED IN THIS MODERN TIME, AND WITH THESE,

I CAN FINISH WHAT I STARTED YEARS AGO.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'VE STOLEN THEM,

BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU KEEP 'EM.

AH! OOH!

OH...

ALAS, DEAR SOUL POWER,

YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE JUICE.

HOW FITTING THAT I SHOULD BE THE ONE

TO FINALLY TURN OUT YOUR LIGHTS.

OONH...EH...

AH!

UNH!

ENH...

COME ON!

I COULD DESTROY YOU NOW, BUT I'LL WAIT.

I WANT YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN MY ULTIMATE MOMENT OF TRIUMPH.

THAT ROBOT TOOK US ON LIKE WE WERE NOTHIN'.

WE'RE NOT LICKED YET, SPARKY.

WILL YOU STOP CALLIN' ME THAT?!

AND FROM NOW ON, THERE'S NO MORE WE.

IF I'M GONNA GET WHOOPED AGAIN,

I DON'T NEED YOUR COMMENTARY.

? YOU'RE GONNA GET IT ?

? AH HA HA HA OH AH ?

Robert: SEE HOW GREAT HE WAS?

? SOUL POWER ?

? SOUL POWER ?

Robert: AND AFTER HE'D DEFEAT A VILLAIN,

HE'D DO HIS FUNKY SOUL POWER DANCE.

? AH, FUNKY TWIST ?

? DOIN' A FUNKY TWIST ?

? OH, THE FUNKY TWIST ?

YEAH. THE SOUL POWER.

HEH HEH. SOUL POWER.

HA HA HA HA!

POPS, DO NOT DANCE!

HEH! HEH HEH!

YEAH, SOUL POWER WAS A REAL HERO, ALL RIGHT.

I HAD ALL HIS COMIC BOOKS UNTIL MY MOTHER MADE ME THROW THEM AWAY.

OH, THE MONEY I COULD HAVE MADE.

YO! I JUST ASKED YOU WHAT YOU KNEW ABOUT HIM.

I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE A SUPERFAN BOY.

PEOPLE FORGET THAT HE WAS THE STATIC OF HIS DAY,

HEH, MAYBE EVEN BETTER.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I REMEMBER ONE TIME--

[DOORBELL RINGS]

I GOT IT.

UH-UH. HEY!

HELLO, MISSY.

MR. GRANT, WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

VIRGIL PROMISED TO HELP ME WITH SOMETHING,

IF HE'S NOT TOO BUSY.

OF COURSE. HE'S NOT BUSY AT ALL.

ARE YOU KIDDIN'?

I GOTTA CLEAN MY ROOM, MOW THE LAWN,

AND HAVE YOU SEEN OUR GUTTERS LATELY?

VIRGIL, IF YOU MADE A PROMISE, YOU BETTER KEEP IT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

NICE TO SEE Y'ALL.

WHAT A SWEET OLD GUY.

I'LL BET VIRGIL COULD LEARN A LOT FROM HIM.

WAH-EEH-DOO!

ACTUALLY, THIS IS PRETTY COOL.

IT BEATS THE SENIOR SHUTTLE BUS.

SO, THIS IS YOUR BIG PLAN,

TO HIDE IN THE SMELLY, OLD SUBWAY?

NO.

MY PLAN BEGINS INSIDE HERE.

WELCOME, SPARKY, TO MY OLD HQ:

THE POWER PAD.

I MEAN IT, STOP CALLIN' ME--WHOA!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDIN'.

HAVE A LOOK ROUND WHILE I SEE IF THINGS STILL WORK.

HEY, WHY'D YOU GIVE THIS PLACE A LAME NAME

LIKE THE POWER PAD?

HEY, IT WAS COOL IN THE SIXTIES.

WHY? WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT?

THE ABANDONED GAS STATION OF... SOLITUDE.

OH, YEAH. THAT SOUNDS MUCH BETTER.

HEY, WHO'S THAT?

THAT WAS MY TEENAGE SIDEKICK.

GOOD KID, BUT KINDA MOUTHY.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

SPARKY.

30 YEARS WITHOUT CRANKING IT UP,

AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

I'M PROGRAMMING INVADER ABOUT WHAT MENACE STOLE TODAY.

IT SHOULD TELL US WHAT HE'S UP TO.

I WAS AFRAID OF THIS.

WHAT?

Soul Power: SEASIDE GEORGIA, 1961.

[THUNDER] PEACEFULL LITTLE PLACE

UNTIL MENACE CAME TO VISIT WITH A LEAN, MEAN, WEAPON MACHINE.

[THUNDER]

[SCREAMING]

HYAH!

HUNH! AH!

AH!

UNH!

? CAN YOU FEEL IT? ?

? CAN YOU FEEL IT ?

? RIGHT ON ?

? THE POWER OF SOUL ?

IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO BEAT HIM.

AH!

BUT NOW THE COMPUTER SAYS HE'S AT HIS WEATHER CONTROL GAME AGAIN

AND IF WE DON'T STOP HIM, WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE.

OK, HOW DO WE STOP HIM?

WE GET PREPARED.

WHAT'S THIS?

AN ELECTRO-AMPLIFIER.

IT CAN BOOST YOUR POWER IN AN EMERGENCY.

OR...SINCE IT'S OVER 30 YEARS OLD,

IT COULD SHORT OUT AND FRY ME.

GOOD POINT. BETTER USE IT AS A LAST RESORT.

I HOPE THIS ISN'T WHY SPARKY'S NOT AROUND ANYMORE.

NOW WE'RE READY TO GO,

BUT WE'RE GOING IN STYLE.

I GIVE YOU...

THE SOUL MOBILE.

CAN THIS CLUNKER EVEN START?

[SCREECH]

[STATIC SCREAMS]

WHERE ARE WE GOING?!

TO SEE A MAN ABOUT A MAP--

A WEATHER MAP.

[SCREECH]

Man: AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

BELIEVE IT, PHIL.

I'M BACK, AND I NEED YOUR HELP.

I WANT ACCESS TO YOUR SATELLITES.

I'M SORRY, SOUL POWER, BUT I CAN'T ALLOW THAT

UNLESS YOU'RE A GOVERNMENT-APPROVED CLIENT.

LOOK, YEARS AGO, YOU WERE A YOUNG MAN WHO USED TO CALL ME HIS IDOL.

NOW YOU'RE THE POWERFUL MR. ROLLINS,

HEAD OF THIS BIG DEFENSE SATELLITE FIRM.

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE TOO HIGH AND MIGHTY TO HELP OUT AN OLD FRIEND.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED, SOUL POWER.

EVERYTHING THESE DAYS IS ABOUT SECURITY CLEARANCE.

I CAN'T DO IT.

BACK IN THE SIXTIES,

I FOUGHT SO THAT YOUNG MEN LIKE YOU WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO GET TO THIS POSITION.

YOU ALSO TAUGHT US NEVER TO BREAK RULES,

AND I WON'T, NOT EVEN FOR YOU.

BESIDES, AREN'T YOU TOO OLD FOR THIS SORT OF THING?

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.

OOH...THAT'S DEBATABLE.

I'M SORRY, SOUL POWER.

COME ON, KID. WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

IS HE THE NEW SPARKY?

NO!

Static: NOW WHAT?

BACK TO THE POWER PAD.

I NEED TO TAP INTO THOSE TOP SECRET SATELLITES.

YOU STOLE HIS SECURITY CARD?

YOU KNOW HOW THINGS CLING TO YOU WHEN YOU HAVE STATIC ELECTRICITY.

[CHUCKLES] RIGHT ON.

SOLID.

NOW, SEARCH FOR ANY KIND OF RARE WEATHER PATTERN.

MOST OF THAT'S JUST GLOBAL WARMING.

[KEYSTROKING]

I'M PICKIN' UP A DISTURBANCE.

IT'S OUTSIDE DAKOTA IN THE HIGH HILLS.

I THINK I'M FINALLY GETTING THE HANG OF THIS.

SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE LOOKIN' FOR?

UH...NEVER MIND.

IT'S GOT TO BE HIS HEADQUARTERS.

THAT'S HIS WEATHER MACHINE ON TOP.

REMEMBER, THIS TIME WE WORK AS A TEAM.

AH!

HOW FORTUNATE FOR ME THAT YOU TWO DROPPED IN,

AND RIGHT ON TIME.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I WAS MISSING ONE COMPONENT FOR MY WEATHER MACHINE:

ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT TRULY EFFECTIVE.

NOW YOU TWO SHALL BE MY BATTERIES.

AAH! AAH!

UNH! ERGH!

AH! O-ORGH! EH!

WHEN THE WORLD SEES WHAT I CAN DO TO THE CITY OF DAKOTA,

THEY'LL PAY ME NEVER TO DO IT AGAIN.

[STATIC AND SOUL POWER SCREAMING]

[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP]

ARGH...AH!

IT'S ALL MY FAULT!

THIS WAS A TRAP!

ARGH! UHH!

MAYBE--MAYBE I CAN USE...THIS

TO SHORT-CIRCUIT THIS ARM.

? HE'S A STRIKER ?

? GREAT WIZARD ?

? HE'S THE BEST ?

? YO YO, IT AIN'T EASY ?

? CUT LOOSE ?

? GO, HOMEY ?

? IT AIN'T EASY, COME ON, SON ?

? GET PEACE ?

? COME ON, HOMEY ?

? GO, HOMEY, GET PEACE ?

? HIT THE WALL ?

? GET PEACE ?

SOUL POWER, ARE YOU OK?

MAYBE I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS.

THANKS TO ME, DAKOTA IS DOOMED.

GOTTA GET BACK TO THE CITY.

HOW? I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER LEFT TO FLY.

I CAN BARELY WALK.

MAYBE I CAN HELP.

Static: MR. ROLLINS!

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?

MENACE HAS TAKEN OVER MY SATELLITES.

HE'S USING THEM TO CONTROL THE WEATHER.

HOW'D HE MANAGE TO DO THAT?

HE PRETENDED TO BE ONE OF MY GOVERNMENT DEFENSE CLIENTS.

WE GAVE HIM TOP-LEVEL ACCESS,

AND, BOOM! SO MUCH FOR SECURITY.

BUT HOW DID YOU FIND US?

I STILL HAVE OUR OLD TRACERS...

PARTNER.

HEH HEH!

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, EH?

WHOA! YOU'RE SPARKY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

MY OLD COSTUME STRETCHES ENOUGH TO STILL FIT.

YOU GUYS READY FOR A RECHARGE?

YOU BET!

GET READY, WORLD,

'CAUSE IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE...

All: SOUL...

POWER!

SO HOW'D YOU GET YOUR POWERS?

MY COSTUME IS ELECTRICALLY CHARGED.

WHEN I WAS A KID, I INVENTED IT TO BE LIKE HIM.

Soul Power: SO WHERE TO, SPARKY?

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?

HE WAS TALKING TO ME.

OH.

DOWN THERE. THAT BUILDING.

Soul Power: THE DAKOTA RETIREMENT HOME?

YES. ACCORDING TO MY DATA, SOMEPLACE UNDERGROUND.

? FEEL THE POWER ?

I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS ANYTHING DOWN HERE.

Sparky: BLAST THROUGH THAT WALL.

[CRACKS KNUCKLES

[ALARM SOUNDS]

NO! NOT YOU AGAIN.

HE'S MY ENEMY.

DESTROY THEM!

AH!

? GONNA PROVE THAT IT'S RIGHT ON ?

? THE POWER OF SOUL ?

? GONNA MOVE YA, OH, YEAH ?

? THE FUNKIFIED FORCE ?

? GONNA PROVE THAT IT'S RIGHT ON ?

? THE POWER OF SOUL ?

? GONNA MOVE YA, OH, YEAH ?

? THE FUNKIFIED FORCE ?

? CAN YOU FEEL IT? ?

? SOUL POWER ?

? GONNA GET IT, IT'S SO HIP NOW ?

? OH, YEAH, THE FUNKIFIED FORCE ?

? GONNA GET IT ?

? IT'S GONNA GET YOU ?

GIVE UP, SOLAR POWER.

YOU'RE TOO OLD.

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, LAMEBRAIN!

HEAR THAT, MENACE?

THESE KIDS TODAY ARE...

UHH...PRETTY SMART.

ARE YOU THINKIN' WHAT I'M THINKIN'?

RIGHT ON.

UNH...

ENGH!

AAH!

UHH!

LOOK. IT WAS ALL A HOLOGRAPHIC ILLUSION.

HE REALLY IS OLD, LIKE ME.

DENNIS.

ALL THESE YEARS, I'VE WAITED

AND PLANNED MY REVENGE,

AND NOW, YOU'VE STILL WON.

I SHOULD HAVE STUCK TO BASKET-WEAVING.

OH...

Mr. Grant: WELL... THAT'S THAT.

WITH THE LAST OF MY SUPERVILLAINS OUT OF THE WAY,

SOUL POWER IS OFFICIALLY RETIRED.

LISTEN, UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT...

I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU AFTER ALL, SO...

YOU KNOW, UH...

THANKS.

HEY, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH KNOWLEDGE, KID.

YOU PASS IT ON.

COOL, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONE THING YOU DIDN'T TEACH ME.

WHAT'S THAT?

THAT DANCE.

HOW DO THOSE FUNKY MOVES GO?

FIRST OF ALL, [SOUL POWER THEME PLAYS]

YOU'VE GOTTA MUSTER UP A LITTLE... ? YEAH ?

SOUL POWER.

RIGHT ON.

? SOUL POWER ?

? SOUL POWER ?

? SOUL POWER ?

? YEAH EH-EH-EH ?
