What's up guys? It's time for some more super action! This is the last episode before the two part season finale and then...it's Season 3 time.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's handle these reviews first.
REVIEWS
Indy Scott - You may be right. There's a lot of weird universes that border pretty close to Super Thunder's universe...But I've already said too much.
Matthew Crispin - Yes, I have considered your other ideas. Some of them will be implemented in Season 3. Don't worry.
JTWAS1994 - That seems like a good idea, but I have a few other ideas in mind as well.
Mr. Grey - Thank you once again for helping me with the Clyde/Cyberion episode. It turned out really great in my opinion. I'm also glad you enjoyed genderbent Super Thunder. They may pop up again in the future. Also, it might have been a mistake in your review, but that was my 50th episode, not 100th.
Guest - Well, I chose Street Cat because that was the name suggested by the original creator of the Zoo Masters. Still, I may change it in the Zoo Masters' next appearance.
Nick Name - These names are awesome as always Nick Name! Thanks for your suggestions!
Guest - That's a really cool idea for an arc. Who knows? Something like that may happen in the future. I don't know if its gonna happen next season, but I'll definitely be thinking about it.
This episode features villains that I think a lot of people have wanted to see for awhile. Get ready for the action in this episode! There's a lot of it.
Here we go! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!
NB: Credit for this episode's villains goes to Hank Hawk Guest and Mr. Grey.

NB: The theme song is "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons, with my own little twist in the lyrics. It follows the same tune though, of course. I felt like the song fit perfectly with the series so, here we are. You can kind of imagine Lincoln singing the lyrics if you like, as I feel they're sort of based off of him.
Theme Song
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my old life behind
Not a yes sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Don my mask and attire, my new persona
I was "Lightning" before the "Thunder"
Thunder, thunder
Thunder, thun- thunder
Thun-thun-thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thun-thunder
Thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the Thunder!
Lightning and Super Thunder!
Thunder, feel the Thunder!
Lightning and Super Thunder!
Thunder, thunder
Thunder!
Episode 26: The Greatest Offense
Doors swing open which reveal Lincoln and his friends standing in the doorway of Lazer Maze, a local laser tag arcade.
"You guys ready for war?" asked Stella.
"Of course! I've been practicing all week for this!" said Rusty.
"Rusty, I don't think playing with a laser pointer counts as practicing." said Lincoln.
"*smirks* It doesn't matter if he practiced anyways. There's no way you're beating me. The master of this game." said Zach.
"Really Zach? I seem to remember whooping you the last time we played." said Stella.
"Pfft! What?! I don't remember that!" said Zach, looking around nervously.
"So what are we waiting for exactly?" asked Liam.
"Lincoln invited someone else to join us." said Clyde.
"Who?" asked Rusty.
Just then, a yellow food truck pulled up behind them with a distinct logo on it.
"*honks horn* Hey Lincoln! And Lincoln's friends. I brought Ronnie Anne!" said Carlota.
"*walks around the side of the van* Hey guys. Long time no see." said Ronnie Anne.
"I'll say! How've you been Ronnie Anne?" asked Liam.
"Pretty good I guess." said Ronnie Anne.
"Lincoln, *elbows his arm* you didn't tell us you were inviting your girlfriend." said Rusty.
Ronnie Anne punched his arm in response.
"Ow!" exclaimed Rusty.
"We're not dating Rusty." said Ronnie Anne.
"*laughs* She really got you Rus!" said Stella.
"Oh. You're new. What's your name?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"I'm Stella. I just joined Lincoln's group I guess." said Stella.
"Cool! I'm not the only girl anymore." said Ronnie Anne.
"*honks horn* Alright cous! I'll pick you up later! I'm gonna go check out the mall!" said Carlota, as she drove off.
"That's your cousin?" asked Rusty.
"Yup." said Ronnie Anne.
"Nice." said Rusty smoothly.
"*rolls her eyes* Anyways, we ready to go in?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah, let's-"
"Out of our way runt!"
Lincoln was suddenly shoved aside by two big burly teens. Once his vision refocused, he quickly realized he recognized these teens.
"Hank? Hawk?" said Lincoln surprised.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Clyde shaking.
"What does it look like? We're here to play laser tag!" said Hank.
"You got a problem with that?" asked Hawk.
"Yeah! You big bullies don't own this place! You don't have to push my friends around." said Ronnie Anne.
"Oh yeah? Well how about I push you around instead?" said Hawk, inching closer to her face.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." said Ronnie Anne.
"Wait Hawk. Let's not pummel the brat. We'll beat her and her loser friends in laser tag!" said Hank.
"*smirks* Sounds like a good idea. Us against all of you guys. That's more than fair considering we're about to smoke you!" said Hawk, as he high-fived Hank.
"We'll see about that." said Ronnie Anne.
"Psh! See you inside." said Hank, as he and Hawk entered the building.
"Um, Ronnie Anne? Did you just accept a laser tag match against Hank and Hawk?!" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah. So what? Those guys don't scare me. I'm gonna own them in laser tag." said Ronnie Anne.
"That's great for you, but what about the rest of us? You heard them! We're gonna get smoked!" said Rusty scared.
"Oh come on you guys. It won't be that bad. I'm up for the challenge." said Stella.
"I like this girl already." said Ronnie Anne. "Come on guys. We got this." said Ronnie Anne, as she entered the building, with Stella following.
"*gulps* Guys, it's now or never. Come on!" said Lincoln, as he, Rusty, Zach, and Liam entered the building as well.
"*runs back outside to a frozen in fear Clyde* Come on buddy. We'll be there for you." said Lincoln, as he pushed Clyde inside the building.
"Welcome to Lazer Maze. The only innovative laser tag experience in Royal Woods. Laser tag match starting in 3...2...1..."
A loud buzzer was suddenly heard and both teams knew that it was time to move. The Lazer Maze staff had allowed Hank and Hawk to be on a team by themselves, per their request. Though it was unusual, they still allowed it. Now, Lincoln, Ronnie Anne and the rest of his friends had to work together to beat the big brutes.
"Okay guys. Spread out. We don't wanna be grouped together when they-"
*the sound of a vest sensor being shot is heard*
"Oh man!" said Rusty, sad that he was already out.
"Everyone run!" exclaimed Liam, as he and the rest of the group dispersed.
"Don't run runts! We're gonna find you anyways!" said Hawk.
Stella had hid behind a wall and saw Hank coming up the middle aisle. She aimed her laser gun, ready to fire, when suddenly...
"*shoots sensor on Stella* Ha. Nice try." said Hank, appearing behind her.
"Darn. I'm out." said Stella, sulking away.
Meanwhile, Zach had taken refuge in what he thought was a secluded corner of the maze.
"Hey four eyes!" shouted Hawk.
Zach instinctively pointed his gun in the direction he heard the voice from, but didn't see anybody there.
"*shoots sensor on Zach* You need to get new prescriptions nerd." said Hawk, laughing in his face.
"How did you even? Oh whatever." said Zach, walking away.
*Lincoln, Clyde, and Ronnie Anne hear another sensor get shot*
"Oh come on now!" exclaimed Liam frustrated.
"Haha! Only three more losers left!" said Hank.
"*starts hyperventilating* Oh no! They're coming for us!" said Clyde.
"Clyde, relax. We're gonna be fine." said Lincoln, trying to calm him down.
"W-Where'd Ronnie Anne go?" asked Clyde.
Lincoln looked over to see that she had disappeared. Before he could inquire about this however...
*Clyde's sensor gets shot*
"Oh! I'm hit!" said Clyde, as he fell dramatically.
"Clyde! No!" exclaimed Lincoln.
"*grins* I've been waiting for this." said Hank, taking aim at Lincoln.
However, before he released his shot, something unexpected happened.
"*sees his sensor has been shot* What the?" said Hank confused.
He turned around to see Ronnie Anne standing behind him.
"That's one." said Ronnie Anne.
Hank was about to say something when he saw Hawk sneaking up behind Ronnie Anne. Lincoln noticed as well.
"*gasps* Ronnie!" exclaimed Lincoln, as he ran in front of Ronnie Anne to take the shot from Hawk's gun.
*Lincoln's sensor gets shot and is deactivated*
"*bumps shoulders with him* You're gonna regret that! Where is she?" asked Hawk.
"Up here!" said Ronnie Anne.
Hawk looked up to see Ronnie Anne flipping off of a high wall. She shot Hawk's sensor in midair, taking him out, and winning the game for her friends.
"Ronnie! You did it!" exclaimed Lincoln, running over.
"I told you I've got this." said Ronnie Anne.
"Ugh! That was some cheap shot!" said Hawk angry.
"Nope. That was just pure skill." said Ronnie Anne.
"Whatever. We're outta here! Let's go Hawk!" said Hank, heading for the exit.
Hawk gave the two a death stare before following behind Hank.
"*groans* Is it over?" asked Clyde.
"Yeah. We won buddy!" said Lincoln.
"Okay great! I can only take so much stress at a time!" said Clyde.
"*laughs* Oh Clyde. I guess some things never change." said Ronnie Anne.
"There you guys are!" said Stella, joining the group with Rusty, Zach, and Liam following her as well.
"You guys trying to run another round? I didn't even get to shoot my laser gun!" said Liam.
"Sure. I'm down." said Lincoln.
"I call being on Ronnie Anne's team!" blurted out Rusty.
The others just stared at him oddly.
"Just...letting that be known." said Rusty awkwardly.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the rundown slums of downtown...
"You gotta be faster next time Hawk! There's no way we just got beat by some smug girl in cargo shorts!" said Hank.
"Gee, I'm sorry Hank. I didn't see when she jumped over my head!" said Hawk, a little peeved.
"Jump up there if you have to!" said Hank.
"How?! I can't fly!" exclaimed Hawk.
"Hey! You! With the mohawk."
Hank and Hawk suddenly turned to see a silhouette of a man standing in a shady alleyway.
"Who are you?" asked Hawk.
"Don't worry about that. You said you wanna fly kid?" asked the mystery man.
"I mean, I wasn't being serious I-"
"That's not what I asked. Do you want to fly?" asked the mystery man.
"What's this about?" asked Hank confused.
The mystery man suddenly opened up his trenchcoat and pulled out a small chest. He opened the chest to reveal six brightly colored pills. There was red, sky blue, yellow, orange, pink, and black.
"These here are super pills. *points to the sky blue pill* This one here will make you fly kid." said the mystery man.
"Whoa cool!" said Hawk, about to move closer, but Hank stopped him.
"Wait. Hang on. Are you saying these pills can give you super powers?" asked Hank.
"That's right." said the mystery man.
"And how do we know these things work?" asked Hank.
"Look, you're asking a lot of questions right now kid. Are you gonna buy the product or not?" asked the mystery man.
"How much?" asked Hawk.
"That'll be ten dollars." said the mystery man.
"Ten dollars?!" said Hawk, in shock.
"Hey that's a bargain! These super pills are on the market for ten times that right now." said the mystery man.
"Whatever. I'll take it." said Hawk, as he gave the man his money and received his sky blue pill.
"What about you kid?" asked the mystery man.
"Do any of those pills help you block stuff?" asked Hank.
"It's funny you asked. I have just the pill for you." said the mystery man, as he held up the yellow pill. "Ten dollars." said the mystery man.
"Here." said Hank, as he gave the man his money.
"*gives the pill to Hank* There you go! Pleasure doing business with you boys! Now run along now! Oh and this conversation we just had? It never happened. Got it?" said the mystery man.
"Yeah whatever man. Thanks for the pills." said Hawk, leaving the alleyway.
Hank took one more uneasy glance at the man before leaving the alleyway behind Hawk.
"Hawk. You're actually gonna take that pill?" asked Hank.
"If it's true what that guy said and this makes me fly, I can go back and smoke that girl in laser tag! Easy!" said Hawk.
"Well, we already bought 'em so..."
Hank and Hawk then found another empty alleyway to ingest the pills. After a few seconds, they didn't really feel anything. But all of a sudden, things quickly started to change.
"What the heck's happening to my skin?!" asked Hank, freaking out.
"Your skin?! What about my skin?! It's hardening!" said Hawk, also freaked out.
The two boys started screaming as their bodies continued to transform. The actual changes to their bodies subject to the imagination of the new shadows that were cast on the brick wall of the alleyway.
Back at Lazer Maze, the group of friends were once again in the middle of a match. They divided the teams up as Stella, Ronnie Anne and Rusty on one team, while Lincoln, Zach, and Liam were the other. Clyde had decided to sit this one out.
"*listening to jazz music and sighs* Such a calming experience. Dr. Lopez is a genius!" said Clyde.
He was currently sitting in the waiting area near the front of the building. Everything was normal for the next few seconds, when suddenly...
*the front doors are broken through with blunt force*
Clyde looked up to see what the commotion was about. He didn't like what he saw. Standing in the doorway were Hank and Hawk, but they looked way different than how they were before.
Hank's skin seemed to have turned blue and now brick like energy structures could be seen surrounding both of his arms.
Hawk on the other hand was way more drastic. He seemed to have adopted a metal exoskeleton that covered every inch of his body. It even formed a helmet of sorts around his face, with a ridge at the top that bore resemblance to his trademark mohawk.
Both of these boys looked visibly angry and they were about to demonstrate that anger.
"*slams fist on desk* Hey! Where's that group of 5th graders at? They still here?" asked Hawk.
"I'm not going to answer that young man. I suggest you and your friend leave before I call the police." said the female worker.
Hawk suddenly slammed his fist against the desk which absolutely demolished it.
"*grabs the worker by her shirt collar* Tell me!" shouted Hawk angrily.
"Yo Hawk. There's one of them over there." said Hank, pointing out Clyde.
Clyde suddenly noticed they were focusing on him and tried to escape but it was too late.
"*grabs Clyde with a hand made out of his brick like energy* Where are your little friends runt?" asked Hank.
"*grunts* I'm not telling you that!" exclaimed Clyde.
"Wrong answer." said Hank, as he threw Clyde across the room.
Clyde collided with a wall and was knocked out.
"Hawk. Drop the girl. Let's go search the maze." said Hank.
"Alright." said Hawk, as he dropped the worker on the ground and she quickly crawled away.
Hank and Hawk now headed for the laser tag maze, where Lincoln and his friends were currently playing.
"*spider senses detect danger* Something's off here..." said Ronnie Anne to herself.
"What's up Ronnie?" asked Stella, seeing concern on her face.
"I don't know. I feel like something bad is happening." said Ronnie Anne.
"What do you mean?" asked Stella.
Before Ronnie Anne could explain herself, sounds of walls being taken down were heard fast approaching them. Ronnie Anne jumped into action and dove Stella out of the way.
As soon as she did, Hawk was revealed to be running down the center, bashing through every wall in his path.
"*looks to his left and sees Ronnie Anne and Stella* You. You owe me a match!" said Hawk, charging full speed at her.
"Stella, run!" exclaimed Ronnie Anne, practically pushing Stella out of harm's way.
Ronnie Anne was immediately tackled in the process.
Stella ran off to find help, but found something else instead.
*Stella nearly dodges energy blades being thrown at her*
"*laughs* You ain't leaving this place without a few scratches." said Hank.
Stella looked behind him to see Rusty, Zach, and Liam all on the ground incapacitated. Hank made more energy blades form in his hand and was about to throw them when suddenly...
*Hank gets zapped*
Hank looked in surprise and shock at the electric ball taking shape before him.
"That's no way to treat a lady you know. Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" said Lightning, as Stella ran off behind him.
"Why do that? Picking on pipsqueaks like you is more fun." said Hank, as he pushed Lightning back with an energy brick construct before following up with an energy fist.
*Lightning groans in pain*
"You're pathetic Lightning. You and the rest of Super Thunder are all jokes." said Hank, ready to punch Lightning again.
Before he could however, his vision was suddenly obscured by a random web out of nowhere.
*Tarantula lands on the ground in a fighting pose*
"Huh. Good timing." said Lightning.
"Thanks. For once, I'm saving you." said Tarantula.
"Hey what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Great Lakes!" said Hank.
"Doesn't mean I can't come to Royal Woods to kick your butt!" said Tarantula, as she jump kicked Hank in his face, knocking him to the ground.
She was about to continue her combo when she was suddenly tackled out of nowhere again.
*Hawk seemingly flies in and tackles her to the ground*
"Stay away from my friend you darn bug!" said Hawk.
"Wow...that's really the best you can come up with huh?" said Tarantula, taunting him.
This annoyed Hawk and he suddenly grabbed Tarantula and threw her into another wall. However, before Tarantula had time to act, she was ran down by Hawk who had tackled her through the wall. Now, they were outside and Hawk was carrying Tarantula straight towards downtown Royal Woods.
"Oh no! Tarantula!" exclaimed Lightning.
"Lightning!"
Lightning suddenly looked behind him to see Techmite saving him from being hit by Hank once again. His nanites had formed a hand and they were holding Hank up against a wall.
"Go ahead Lightning! I've got this guy!" said Techmite.
"You sure?" asked Lightning.
"Yeah." said Techmite.
"Thanks Tech! I'll send some help your way!" said Lightning, as he exited the building through the hole that Hawk had made.
*red lights flash on all the Louds' PortaPendants signaling a serious emergency*
"Guys! I need help downtown! Some neighborhood bullies got superpowers somehow, and now they're wrecking everything! Clyde's handling one at Lazer Maze but he's gonna need help. I'm chasing the other one through the streets right now." said Lightning, via communicator.
"Don't worry son. Thunder will be their soon!" said Lynn Sr.
The other Louds gave Lightning affirmations as well.
"Thanks guys! See you in a bit!" said Lightning, as he ended the communication.
He then jumped out of the power line he was currently traveling through and landed on the rooftop of a building downtown.
"Ronnie Anne, where are you?" asked Lightning to himself worried.
Just then, he heard various screams coming from citizens a few streets away. He knew that couldn't be good.
Meanwhile, Tarantula had landed in the middle of the street after Hawk had taken her on a town wide tackle.
"*gets up* Some guys just can't take a joke." said Tarantula, to herself.
Suddenly, Hawk landed on the ground and made a small crater where he landed.
"What's up with annoying girls like you just ruining my day?" asked Hawk.
"Wait. Your day is ruined? Look at what you're doing right now pal." said Tarantula, as she gestured towards the scared citizens fleeing the area quickly.
"*smirks* Let 'em run. That makes it way easier for me to mess with you." said Hawk.
Just then, however, he was suddenly overcome with an intense shocking sensation.
"If you mess with her, you mess with me too buddy." said Lightning, currently discharging electricity into Hawk.
His metal exoskeleton was actually a really good conductor of electricity and so it was essentially keeping him paralyzed.
"I guess we're even now." said Tarantula.
Lightning just smiled at her.
Suddenly, Wind Vane, Madame L, Light Show, Flame and Ms. Shift holding Remedy showed up to the scene.
"It looks like you've got things handled here son." said Ms. Shift.
"I'll take it from here Lightning." said Madame L, as she further suspended Hawk's movement by holding him in place with her telekinesis.
"Here comes the police!" said Wind Vane, from the air.
"Well that's one of these guys taken care of. What about the other one?" asked Tarantula.
"Oh. Clyde's handling him." said Lightning.
"Oh. Wait, what do you mean Clyde's handling him?! You left Clyde alone to fight a villain by himself?!" asked Tarantula concerned.
"Relax Ronnie. Oh I must not have told you. Clyde's a hero now." said Lightning.
"Say what?" said Tarantula confused.
"I'll explain the story to you later." said Lightning.
Back with Techmite...
Hank has managed to break out of Techmite's grip and the two are now exchanging attacks back and forth with each other.
*Techmite keeps trying to punch Hank using his nanites as giant fists but Hank keeps putting up energy barriers to block him*
"Ugh! This is getting annoying!" said Techmite.
"You mind if I jump in?" asked Powerhouse, suddenly showing up to the scene.
"Sure! Go ahead!" said Techmite.
Powerhouse wasted no time and charged full speed towards Hank. He put up another energy barrier expecting her to try and punch him, but Powerhouse did something different.
She punched the ground in front of him which caused a huge rock spire to jut out from the ground. This launched Hank into the air, but he was quickly brought back down to Earth by The Amp, who had perched herself atop one of the walls in the maze.
She launched a shock wave at him that completely floored him. He was then immediately frozen on the spot courtesy of Freeze.
"Well, that takes care of that." said Mr. Elastic.
"Are you okay Techie?" asked Invisi-Girl.
"Yeah I'm fine IG. Thanks." said Techmite.
"Hey Techmite, you happened to land a few hits on our adversary here right?" asked Super Sense.
"Yeah. Why?" asked Techmite.
"I'd like to borrow your nanites for a bit if you don't mind. There's likely some DNA from him on them that I'd like to examine." said Super Sense.
"Oh. No problem Sense!" said Techmite.
Police sirens were suddenly heard pulling up to the building.
"Alright guys, the police are here. Let's go and group back with the others." said Mr. Elastic.
"I'll carry the ice block here out to the cops." said Powerhouse, as she picked Hank up and carried him outside.
Later that afternoon, in Super Thunder's training bunker...
"No don't worry about it Stella. Clyde's fine too. And I checked with the rest of the guys. They're okay." said Lincoln, currently on the phone.
"Ronnie Anne? She's fine. I think she'll be heading back to Great Lakes soon...Yeah, we'll all hang out again soon and hopefully no villains ruin our fun. Talk to you later Stell! Bye." said Lincoln, as he hung up the phone.
"Wow, you must come up with a lot of excuses." said Ronnie Anne.
"You have to when you're a superhero. At least I don't have to hide my secret from all of my friends." said Lincoln, gesturing towards Ronnie Anne and Clyde.
"You! I never would've guessed that you were a hero." said Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah it just kinda happened recently." said Clyde.
"That's kinda the backstory of all our powers. It just kinda happened." said Ronnie Anne.
Suddenly, the door to the training bunker opened up and Carlota came running in hysterical.
"Oh Ronnie! *hugs her* I'm so glad you're okay!" said Carlota.
"I'm fine Carlota. You know that." said Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah, I know. I just can't help but worry sometimes you know?" said Carlota.
Just then, Lisa entered the bunker from a side corridor.
"Here are your nanites back Clyde. I took the liberty of creating a case for them so you wouldn't have to store them in your backpack all the time." said Lisa, handing Clyde the case.
"Thanks Lisa! This'll come in handy!" said Clyde.
"Hey Lisa, while I've got you, do you mind helping my Uncle Carlos out with something in Great Lakes? He needs some invention ideas." said Ronnie Anne.
"Why certainly! I'd be happy to help." said Lisa.
"Great!" said Ronnie Anne.
"Alright Ronnie, we have to start heading back. You know Grandma's expecting us for dinner." said Carlota.
"Right. This was a pretty interesting day Lincoln. We should do it again sometime." said Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah sure. Heroes and all?" asked Lincoln.
"Heroes and all." said Ronnie Anne, as she and Lincoln did a fist bump.
"Bye guys!" said Carlota, as she approached the exit.
"Bye!" said Lincoln, Clyde, and Lisa in unison.
As soon as Carlota and Ronnie Anne left, Lincoln turned to Lisa.
"So Lisa, what did you discover from the DNA?" asked Lincoln.
"I haven't examined it yet, but I have a feeling it could have some shocking revelations hidden within it." said Lisa.
"More and more meta humans are starting to pop up. And now that includes Hank and Hawk!" said Lincoln.
"The last people we needed to get powers." said Clyde.
"Fret not gentlemen. As scary as this situation is, I know we'll pull through it. We have a whole team backing us up." said Lisa.
"And then some." said Lincoln, now doing a fist bump with Clyde.
The three of them then left the training bunker, leaving the day's events to be added to each of their memories.
