The next day, Larry, Lunt, and Junior stood on top of a massive building in the center of Bumblyberg, early in the morning. SuperLunt and Junior were quite tired, but they stood there anyway.
"Okay, kid!" Larry spoke to Junior, staring down. "This is your first assignment right here. Bumblyberg is chock-full of crime, and you've always gotta keep a sharp eye out so that you can find a criminal and bring him to jus—"
(*BRRRRRRRRRINGDINGDINGDING-DINGDING-DIIIIIIIING!*)
Immediately, the alarm over at the First National Bank went off, a villainous, masked scallion exited the bank on a motorcycle with a large stack of cash.
"..tice."
"THERE HE IIIIIS!!" Junior exclaimed, then LEAPT from the building that Larry and Lunt were standing on.
"NO! WAIT! JUUUUUUUUUUNIOOOOOOOR!!" Larry exclaimed, trying to catch the small asparagus.

"I GOT IT!" Junior exclaims, jumping from building to building by usage of his super-suction ears.
"ATTABOY, JUNIOR!!" Larry exclaims as well. "I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!"
"We're talking away
I don't know what's left to say
I'm sayin' it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love o.k.?"
"STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!!" Junior exclaimed.
The robber took one look at Junior and ran like the dickens, the asparagus child superhero in hot pursuit. Larry and Lunt looked at each other for a brief moment while the kid chased the robber.
"Really?" Lunt replied. "Is that the best he can say? No one-liners or quips?"
"Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends again
But it's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is o.k."
Junior, recalling what Larry had previously said, shot one plunger ear out onto a tree, then the other onto a billboard. He pulled back, and launched himself after the robber, high into the air.
"This is AWESOOOOOOOME!!" The lad whooped as he soared.
"Say it after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me,
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two"
Junior, moments before hitting the ground, was thankfully able to utilize his suction ears and grapple onto the side of another building, unknowingly flinging himself MILES above the stratosphere.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!" The little asparagus screeched, until zooming back down.
"Things that you say
Yeah is it life or just to play my
Worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway"
Junior ended up getting sent through the side of an office building, bumping into hundreds of people.
"OOH!"
"OW!"
"HEY, WATCH IT!"
"SORRY!"
"WHAT TH—"
The little asparagus shot back through another window, a strawberry-frosted donut in his mouth.
"Take on me,
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
Take on me,
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day"
The robber attempted to speed up on his motorcycle, but Junior had caught up to him by riding on top of a bus.
"AAAAGH!" The scallion exclaimed as Junior used his ears to tie a net around the robber's body.
"GREAT WORK, KID!" Mr. Lunt replied, landing on the ground after flying with Larry.
The cops came almost instantaneously and took the scallion robber away. Larry took Junior and catapulted to the top of the building they were on earlier to conceal his identity—feeling very proud of what the child had done.
