I do not own 'Heroes' or anything related.
Commentator: Welcome back my normal and hero wannabe friends to 'Super-Heroes Volume Three: Supervillains'!
Sammy: Hopefully this volume will be way better than the last one!
Commentator: -What do you mean?
Sammy: -Well Boss, you know how awful Season Two was, right?
Commentator: -What are you talking about, Sammy? Season Two was fine, heck it was even slightly better than the first one!
(Silence)
Professor: I'll answer this. What?
Commentator: Well, according to statistics, Season Two was better than season 1.
Professor: -I repeat. What?
Commentator: Well look.
(Pulls down a chart)
Commentator: As you well know, the staple joke of our commentaries are the flaws, thereby logically the worse the source material, the longer the chapter and easier it is to make fun of. Now then, as you can see in this chart, we started off commentating on the first episode, and later found that for the rest of the first half of the first season we needed to combine two episodes in order to meet roughly the length of the first. Now if you take a look at season Two, we were able to abridge two episodes each, apart from one which was three.
Professor: Sir, you can't base an assumption on that-
Commentator: Or if you want to look at it another way, out of the eleven chapters that comprised season One, three parody one episode, roughly half parody two, one parodied three, and another parodied five. (Counts the episodes on his hand) Yep. Definitely five! Now then, if you want to look at two, out of our five, four parody two with one three. So in other words, in season One, about twenty-five percent was one, fifty percent two, twelve and a half percent three, and another twelve and a half percent five, whereas in Season Two, eighty percent was two, whereas twenty percent was three. And as you can see we never had to enough material for one episode! Hmm, then again we didn't have as little as five either, so hold on, and the three's increased by seven and three quarters percent, so we have a twenty-five decrease but a twenty and a quarter percent increase, so yeah, Season Two was better than One.
Professor: Sir, you can't possibly make a kind of decision like that based on word length alone! I mean there are other factors to consider, like some flaws are easier to make fun of than others, or like one joke from one episode being transferred to another!
Commentator: Hey I'm not saying my theory is perfect, I'm just saying that it's the best I've got.
Professor: Sir, what's wrong with just deciding if you enjoyed the episode?
Commentator: Because your emotions can easily be influenced by someone else to make you think differently about an episode. No, I prefer to put trust in the facts.
Sammy: But Boss! How could you possibly defend Season Two? It was boring and long drawn compared to the original series!
Commentator: Boring and long drawn? Sam, it took them only seven episodes to get the majority of characters together. In the first season it took them an entire season for all the characters and their plots to come together! Plus this series had a few decent super-powered fight scenes compared to the first! Anyway since when did you hate Season Two? I don't remember you ever complaining about it while we were watching it.
Sammy: My eyes have been open, Boss! I see the truth of Season Two's mediocrity! I now know-
Commentator: In other words you listened to the crap people were saying about Season Two and instead of maintaining your own opinion you were too afraid about being wrong so you gave up your own views and accepted what seemed like the majority view, and therefore forgetting that you once enjoyed Season Two as much as One, am I right?
Sammy: -Well…
Professor: Although Sir I in no way agree with Sam about how apparently awful Season Two was, on the other hand I can't say it was better than Season One. Then again, Season One always gave me a headache, I can't decide whether it was because of all the problems characters were getting, particularly Peter, and how it took forever for all the characters to get together, and I don't know, watching Season Two I felt more relaxed. Of course, I never had a problem with Two and I was surprised how people were saying it wasn't very good.
Sammy: Even so, I've heard good things about Three and how it'll rejuvenate the series and how it'll be exciting!
Commentator: Well if it is as good as you say it is, Sam, then I look forward to it as well.
Sammy: Yeah! By the way, Boss, maybe we should be thinking of doing the same.
Commentator: -How do you mean?
Sammy: Boss, have you seen the hits for Generations compared to Genesis? At least the ratings only went down by a quarter, we lost like ninety percent of our readers!
Commentator: Well, I admit the numbers for Generations were disappointing, but what do you want me to do?
Sammy: Let us make our series more exciting and cut out all the romance and drama in expense to everything else!
Commentator: No, I'd rather have the lowest hit series on Fanfictiondotnet than sell my soul to the demon of higher ratings in an attempt to increase our hits which will just lead to lower hits and more ridicule.
Demon Of Higher Ratings: Oh come on. Please?
Commentator: No. You've got enough souls as it is. Now let's just watch the episode.
Previously, on 'Heroes'…
Muerte: Hi, I'm Muerte.
Vida: And I'm Vida.
Muerte: I take life.
Vida: And I give it back.
Muerte: I'm on the run for murder, even though I didn't intentionally kill them.
Vida: I'm also on the run for murder, although I don't know how that happened since I cooperated with the police to capture my own sister. If anything, I should only be liable for assisting the escape of a murderer!
Muerte: and we're currently off to the U.S. to find Chandra Suresh.
Vida: Although how we know he was last seen in the U.S. and not know he's now dead is beyond me.
Midas: Greetings, Dr Suresh. I am one of the I-Men and we want you to join our heroic organisation.
Mohinder: Sure, why not.
Nathan: I'm now a drunken wreck who has hung up his costume because of the death of his brother even though he was supposed to have survived that explosion. Believe it.
Ricky: Tell us what you did with the ipods!
Peter: You guys seriously believe that I took your ipods , then chained myself up half naked and let myself be at your mercy?
Ricky: Um, yes?
Peter: You guys aren't very bright thieves, are you?
Flying Boy: Greetings, Resurrection Girl. I am Flying Boy. Want to get together and become a crime fighting duo?
Resurrection Girl: Okay.
Caitlin: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!
Peter: Unhand that poor woman, you villainous fiends!
Thug: Yeah? Well what are you going to do about it?
BAM! ZAP! WHOOSH!
Peter: Does that answer your question?
Caitlin: My hero!
Peter: Aren't you a little freaked out that I have all these powers?
Caitlin: You'd think so, wouldn't you?
Peter: Wow! I saved that woman's life! Hey. I know! I should become a superhero! From this day fourth (Putting on his costume) I shall be known as –(Comes out wearing green spandex covering everything except eyes and mouth with a A on front) The incredible-ABSORBING MAN!
Caitlin: Why Absorbing man?
Absorbing Man: I don't know, it seemed appropriate somehow. I was going to go for Superman, but then I realised that name was taken.
Caitlin: never stopped Marvel Captain Marvel.
Ricky: Hey absorbing Man! Do you know what would be great for a second mission? Helping us with a heist.
Absorbing Man: Sorry, Ricky, but Absorbing Man must never break the law! Whatever happens, Absorbing Man is an upholder of the law, and he must never cross the line-
Ricky: I'll give you clues about your past.
Absorbing Man: -Except for personal gain!
Ricky: So they actually HANDED you the money?
Absorbing Man: I told them it was to save the world. Superheroes are very well respected in this bizarre parallel universe where superheroes actually exist.
Clockwork: Ow, my chest. Hey, who are you?
Mirage: The name's Mirage. I've been sent to look after you.
Clockwork: Mirage? Like the villain in 'The Incredibles'?
Mirage: Not so much, although I do feel somewhat like a super-villain's assistant. And I'm sure that I'll also have a romantic relationship with my charge.
Clockwork: I doubt it.
Mug: GAK!
Mirage: Oof!
Clockwork: BRAIIIIIIIIINS!
Clockwork: Oh dear. I appear to be unable to use my powers or take more.
Chronos: I must help you become a hero.
Kensei: Okay. Does that mean that I will have to dress like you too?
Chronos: Of course! A superhero's costume is his uniform and his way of disguising who he or she is!
Clockwork: Gasp, hi, gasp, could you, gasp, help me? Gasp, I've, gasp, walked, gasp, all, gasp, the way, gasp, from Brazil, oof!
(The drivers get out of the car)
Muerte: Gasp! Oh no, you poor man!
Muerte: What is your name?
Clockwork: Gabriel.
Muerte: Gabriel? Gasp! You must be an angel!
Vida: Muerte, you can't assume that just because he's named Gabriel!
Muerte: Why not? It's how I know that one day you shall rule everything from India to Egypt and that I should embrace Mayan culture!
Copy-Cat: Look out world, cos there's a new Copycat in town, and this one isn't gonna be a screw-up like the last one! Now then to take down some of those robbers. HI-
BAM BASH POW!
Copycat: I have been defeated! Oh who would have thought that martial arts learnt from films wouldn't work in the real world?
Ellectra: Hi there. Is Copycat here?
Ricky: Who's asking for him?
Ellectra: Oh. Me? I'm Ellectra.
Lightning Bolt: CRACKLE
Ellectra: Get it? Ellectra? Because my name is Elle, and I have electrical powers and a female name that sounds like 'electric' is 'Elektra', so I'm 'Ellectra'? Man. Corpses have no sense of humour!
Absorbing Man: Right then, thanks to the tickets in the box and my painting, we've come here where there is a message for me.
Caitlin: The Immortal? I-Men? What does it mean?
Absorbing Man: I don't know, but instead of trying to make sense of it I think I'll freak out instead.
Sybil: Greetings, Absorbing Man. Welcome to the future, where a virus has wiped out most of humanity.
Caitlin: Peter!
Absorbing Man: Caitlin!
VAMOOSH
Absorbing Man: Oh no! My time travel ability has suddenly brought me back to the present for no reason, leaving Caitlin in the future!
Midas: Right then Mohinder, your next assignment is to capture Resurrection Girl with the assistance of my sociopathic daughter. Have fun!
Immortal: Hello, Copy-Cat. I am the Immortal, and I am here to give you back your memories.
Absorbing Man: But how? And what kind of a name for a superhero is Copycat?
Immortal: If you have a photograph of someone, focus on it.
Absorbing Man: Oh okay.
Midas: Greetings, Copy-Cat. We have brought you down here so that you will not be a threat to the world.
Copy-Cat: Look, I know I almost blew up half of New York, but that was just a one-off, I'm in control now, I'm not a threat to anyone!
Midas: Not a threat? Dude, when finding out how you obtained your nuclear ability you went straight towards him instead of keeping as far away from him as possible. Our only regret is that we didn't incarcerate you sooner.
The Immortal: So they incarcerated you because they deemed you a threat to humanity?
Copy-Cat: Yeah, although I only had the best intentions.
The Immortal: Me too. Want to break out of here?
Copy-Cat: Sure!
Lethe: Now, Copy-Cat, I shall give you a new life by erasing your memory.
The Immortal: So, now that you know who you really are, are you going to reclaim your own costume?
Absorbing Man: You kidding me? Copy-Cat was a loser! This is a clean slate for me, and this time, I will not be a screw-up who ends up ending the world in his attempts to save it! So let's go save the world, it's the only way to save Caitlin!
The Immortal: Aren't you worried that by erasing that future Caitlin will go with it?
Absorbing Man: You'd think I would have considered that possibility, wouldn't you?
The Immortal: You would.
Midas: H.R.G., no!
H.R.G.: If you die, the I-Men die.
Mohinder: No!
Mohinder's gun: BANG!
H.R.G.: GAK!
Absorbing Man: Tell us where the virus is being kept!
Victoria: Texas.
The Immortal: Thank you. Mind if I manipulate the next few moments to make it seem that I killed you in self-defence when in fact my intent was to murder you?
Victoria: Just as long as Absorbing Man there doesn't realise the blatantly obvious.
Vida: I don't trust you! And now I shall take Muerte away from you!
Clockwork: I think not.
Knife: Stab!
Vida: GAK!
Fans: HOORAY!
Clockwork: Mwahahaha! I'm evil!
Muerte: Evil? But you can't be evil! You're named like the archangel!
Mohinder: Erm, that doesn't necessarily mean that he's LIKE the archangel Gabriel!
Muerte: You mean- people DON'T resemble their namesakes?
Mohinder: Why would they?
Muerte: You mean- my brother ISN'T destined to rule the Middle East?
Tracker: No, he's dead. Sorry.
Muerte: So, I SHOULDN'T embrace Mayan culture?
Mohinder: Why should you?
Muerte: ...Phew, that's a relief! I mean, it's such a pain to embrace a culture that's not your own and the only thing you share is a name. GAK!
Clockwork: Mwahahaha! Now you'll all die!
Ellectra: (Bursts in) HERE I AM, TO SAVE THE DAYYYYYYY!
Clockwork: Gasp, oh no! Must make a get away! (Grabs a vial) You have not seen the last of me! Mwahahaha! (Gets away)
Mohinder: Don't worry! I can save Muerte!
Syringe: Stab!
Muerte: kaG!
Fans: BOOOOOOOOOO!
Techno-Boy: My cousin Copycat is in danger! Quickly Herculea, use your super strength to take down those thugs!
Nikki: Yeah, there's something I forgot to tell you. I've lost my powers.
Techno Boy: -You what?
Nikki: Yeah, I probably should have mentioned this earlier...
Flying Boy: Resurrection Girl, if you're going ahead with your plan to expose all superheroes, then I'm afraid we can't be together.
Resurrection Girl: Okay.
Flying Boy: -So, don't even think of trying to contact me to save your biological dad or anything.
Resurrection Girl: Okay.
Flying Boy: I'm serious. Even if your dad walks through that door moments after I leave and convinces you to not expose everyone, then it's still over between us. Sure the issue that drove us apart won't be there anymore and we'll still go to the same school let alone the same class there'll be no recuperating of our love. Sure we'll be Facebook friends, but that's about it.
Ressurection Girl: Okay.
Flying Boy: Right. Just thought I'd make that clear. (Leaves)
Resurrection Girl: Pfft, yeah right. What are the chances of Dad turning out to be alive and walking through that door making our break up all for-not-thing...
(H.R.G. has come in through the door)
Resurrection Girl: Ohhhhhhhhhh sh-
Nikki: Don't worry, Copy Cat! I'm here to save you! And I've ended up getting trapped. (Notices the building is about to blow) Ohhhhhhh sh-
BOOM
Mind-Cop: Copy-Cat! You must not trust the Immortal! He wants to destroy the world!
Absorbing Man: Now that's three people now. Okay, I'm starting to worry.
Flying-Man: Peter! You must not trust the Immortal! He wants to destroy the world!
Absorbing Man: Okay, I'm beginning to consider the possibility that Immortal is untrustworthy.
Chronos: Kensei. We meet again. And I can still see you never adopted a costume.
The Immortal: What do you mean? I'm a Ra's Al-Ghul cos-player! Well anyway, I have my sword pointed at your neck, and there is nothing you can do to stop me! Absolutely nothing you can-
Chronos: Well, time to teleport you away!
The Immortal: NO! Sudden hand movements! How did you know that was my one weakness? Oh well, I still have enough time to drop the vial. MWAHAHAH! MWAHAHAH! MWAHAAHAHAHA-
VAMOOSH
Absorbing Man: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Dives for the vial, and catches it)
Absorbing Man: Phew! WOOHOO! I saved the world! Look everyone, I saved the world for once!
Flying Man: Pfft. You were only able to do that because of the upcoming superheroes strike meaning we've had to wrap this arc up earlier than intended!
Absorbing Man: Shut up.
Mind-Cop: What is this place? A pack of cards? Truly these people are pure evil.
Flying Man: I agree. And the only way to defeat them is to reveal our secret identities.
Mind-Cop and Absorbing Man: -Huh?
Flying Man: Oh please, who are you two to question my logic? (To Absorbing Man) You went straight to Nuclear Man after finding out how you gained your New York destroying abilities instead of staying as far away from him as possible, (To Mindcop) and you blamed the I-Men for giving you your powers when you had them before getting kidnapped!
Mindcop and Absorbing Man: -Touche.
News Reporter: We now bring you live to a special Bulletin. Popular superhero Flying Man has gathered reporters in order to unmask himself. This will be the most anticipated unmasking since Spider-Man!
Flying Man: And now, I will reveal-myself.
(Is about to pull off his mask)
Assassin: Bang, bang!
Flying Man: GAK! GAK!
Onlooker 1: Oh no! Someone has tried to shot Flying Man!
Onlooker 2: But who could have done this?
Onlooker 3: It must have been someone who does not like superheroes' identities being revealed and is willing to do whatever it takes so that the secret doesn't get out!
Professor: Why is everyone instantly looking at me?
Clockwork: I'm back, baby. MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!
Or something like that. And now, on 'Heroes'...
Meanwhile, in the future, Future Peter is running away from an agent, only to be cornered with a gun.
Future Claire: What is it with you and Neo?
Future Peter: Future Claire! Listen to me! I can stop all of this!
Future Claire: Even though you could just go back in time now, I'm going to shoot you instead and trap us in this third dystopian future.
Future Peter: Oh please, do you really think that you can kill a telekinetic who can stop time?
Future Claire: Never stopped Matt.
Future Claire's gun: BA-
Future Peter's power: FREEZE!
Future Peter: And as I recall, he got five bullets flung into him and would have probably died if he wasn't so popular for some reason.
Meanwhile in the future, Future Peter travels to the past and stops Nathan from revealing mutants.
Matt: Quickly men! Follow me!
Cop: Well you don't have any jurisdiction to order us about, but okay!
Matt: Peter! Where's the assassin?
Peter: He just vanished! And my unscarred face should be a sign that I can't possibly any future version of myself!
Matt: Er…Okay…
Claire: Peter! How's my dad? Will he make it? What Happened?
Peter: Uncle Pete you're alive! Oh I'm so happy you're not dead after all even though it had been stated before that you can't die unless you're brain is damaged. I'm really happy that the person who saved me is alive! God, would it kill you to show a little emotion?
Claire: No time for that, I more concerned about the condition of my dad since he's about to die!
Peter: Did I ask for a reasonable reason?
Mohinder: I wonder if I made the right choice to have Molly sent off-screen. Especially because I did it without consulting Matt about it.
Maya: Mohinder, you didn't have a choice! She was growing far too rapidly compared to the slow rate of the series, it would have created far too many inconsistencies! More than usual!
Mohinder: Well anyway I'm off to India. I've had enough of the Company.
Maya: Wait, what? I thought you believed in what the Company was doing?
Mohinder: It comes, it goes, I wouldn't trust it! Although I can't help shake the feeling that I'm forgetting something and I'm supposed to be somewhere and help someone. Meh, I'm sure it'll come to me eventually!
Nathan: !kaG
Commentator: Okay, this is just getting ridiculous. Saving characters from fatal wounds is one thing, but actually reversing their deaths?
Nathan: I was in a room full of people. A staff of them. And the guy at the end stood up and told me it was not yet time for me to die, and that there was much more for my character to do.
Reporter: Your character?
Nathan: His words, not mine.
Hiro: I've already saved the world twice and now I'm bored.
Ando: To be fair Hiro, you didn't actually save the world either times. Last time it was Peter, and during the one before that you stabbed the wrong guy.
Hiro: Even so, it's left me feeling rather bored.
Later that day Hiro gets a message from his father to protect something in an envelope.
Ando: Do you really think it's a good idea to take it out?
Hiro: Oh it's not like anything can happen to it even for a second-
ZOOM
Hiro's Powers: FREEZE!
(Hiro follows the red blur, leading him to a woman, who turns to look at him)
Daphne: What seems to be the problem, Officer? Was I speeding?
Hiro: Hey, why aren't you frozen?
Daphne: Somehow having the ability to move really quickly makes me resistant and eventually immune to your time stopping abilities.
Claire: Right then, I'm off to Texas to save my dad, and instead of patching things up with my ex-boyfriend who can fly and get me there in an instant, I'm going to walk there by foot even though it'll take days to get there and by the time I do he'll be long dead.
Sylar: Do you always talk about your plans aloud?
Claire: Not all of them. Just the ones that clearly have not been thought through. I mean, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Claire: You? No! You can't be alive! Hiro Nakamura, whose name I somehow know, killed you!
Sylar: I get shot, I fall off a building, I get shot again, oh yeah, a little blade through the chest was gonna kill me. Now then, BRAIIIIIIIINS!
Mohinder: Mwahahaha! (Holding up a vial) With the power of Maya's adrenaline, I shall gain abilities!
Maya: Mohinder, no! These powers are a curse! It should be destroyed!
Mohinder: Maya, just because your ability kills people, doesn't mean that all abilities are bad. Just look at your brother.
Maya: Who?
Matt: Peter Petrelli, I'm arresting you for the attempted murder of your brother.
Peter: Matt you dickhead I was there when Nathan was shot, how could I possibly be the culprit?
Matt: Details, details.
Peter: My God, you're even dumber in this time period than you are in mine!
Matt: Say wha?
Peter: Behold! I am from the future!
Matt: The future? Yeah right. Despite the logic and everything I've seen, I've decided not to believe you.
Future Peter: GAH! You've got to be the most annoying character in all of Heroes. Now I shall do the fans a favour and get rid of you once and for all!
Matt: I don't think the fans hate me that much-
VAMOOSH
Sylar: There, do you see now? You've stabbed me in the heart, yet I'm still alive, yet bleeding. And in pain. But very much alive. Maybe this will help you realise that I CAN'T BE KILLED BY ORDINARY MEANS. Whether it's bullets or concrete OR FRIGGIN BLADES! I'm surprised anyone thought that sword was supposed to kill me!
Claire: Please don't eat my brain! I-
Sylar: Whoa, whoa, hold on for a second! You think I'm- you thought I am- A brain eater? WHAT NO! I mean, I know I'm a sociopath, but I'm not a cannibal! Oh my God! How could you possibly think that I eat people's brains?
Claire: Oh come on, Sylar! You remove people's brains, the brain is nowhere to be seen, and you absorbed the mutant's power somehow? What are we supposed to think? I know every character in this show is stupid, but we're not completely retarded! Plus what's with you crying out 'BRAIIIIIIIINS' every time you're about to take someone's ability?
Sylar: -Okay, I understand how that can be misleading. Now let me show you, and the audience, how I really take people's abilities! (Pokes the brain) There. Got it.
Claire: So wait- instead of eating people's brains, you just poke it? What a sissy technique!
Sylar: (Holding her scalp)-You know, I was going to give you back your scalp that somehow heals itself with the rest of your head (Drops it) But instead I think I'm just gonna let you lie there for a while (Leaves the house)
Claire: Wait, you're not going to kill me?
Sylar: Claire, I couldn't kill you if I wanted to. You can't die.
Claire: But, what if my head exploded?
Sylar: Then you'd still regenerate.
Claire: But, what would happen if I fell into a mincer so that every part of my body is transformed into a bloody pulp?
Sylar: Then you'd still regenerate.
Claire: But, what would happen if I'm caught in an explosion so that every cell in my body is vapourised so that there isn't anything left to regenerate-
Sylar: Look, you can't die, all right? I don't understand the logic behind it myself, but then again, what is logical on this show? (Slams the door)
Claire: (Mutters) Would be a lot better if we at least had some kind of logical framework.
Commentator: Sad thing is, Claire, I think you guys once did.
Hiro: Right then, it's time to save the world!
Commentator: Oh joy. Another apocalypse. Seriously, couldn't the writers come up with anything original this volume? I thought this was supposed to be the rejuvenating one?
Sammy: But Boss! Apocalypses are an annual tradition in 'Heroes'. Like in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'!
Commentator: Yeah, that's another series where the yearly Apocalypse was made fun of. Mainly by the characters themselves.
Future Peter: So you saw what I was going to do in a dream?
Angela: Where did you think you got you're first ability from?
Commentator: So the fans were right! It really WAS Angela where Peter got his precognitive power from! Huh. That's-kinda convenient.
Professor: You're not thinking that the writers only made her the precog in order to appease the fans, are you?
Commentator: There is that slight possibility.
Future Peter: But, in the past I could only copy someone's power if I was near them. How could I have possibly been copying your power if you were nowhere near me?
Angela: Because shut up.
What has become of Peter? Can Matt survive in the desert? And can Hiro save the world (Again)? Find out next time on 'Heroes Abridged (With Commentary)'!
Sammy: Wow! This has been the best episode since Season One!
Commentator: What are you talking about? This episode was awful!
Sammy: Say what?
Commentator: Look at all the plot holes and inconsistencies it created! So instead of a Company agent it was Peter from the future in spite of the security camera and Angela talking to someone "it had to be done"? And what Claire is apparently completely indestructible despite it being stated before that without a brain she's dead? So what, was she never in any mortal danger from Sylar despite the implications from Season One? Not to mention that the writers have just repeated the same tired plot arc from the last two seasons? How was this episode better? Also what was with Mohinder suddenly giving up on the Company for no clear reason and forgetting all about Niki and her terminal disease? It's like they just sacrificed continuity and logical frameworks for "Dramatic effect"! And look! We had enough material to make fun of one episode instead of combining them! And do you know the last time we abridged just the one episode per chapter? '0.07%'!
Professor: That's not too bad, Sir.
Commentator: It's not particularly good either! Puh. This NEVER happened with Season Two!
