So are you
some kind of gladiator?

No, I am the mud singer.

Singer?
Do you sing
country music?

No, I sing...

[operatic singing]
♪ Opera ♪

[officers] Aw!

But could you sing
some country music?

- No.
- [officers] Aw!

So you attacked City Hall
and Superhero
took you down?

He got lucky.

- Who got lucky?
- Hmm.

Super Guy.

- Super Guy?
- Super Guy.

He's new in town,
but he comes from
another planet.

Really punched
Mr. No Country Music
here's ticket.

It wasn't that bad.

Wasn't that bad?

[vocalizing, grunts]

[officer] Here it comes.

- Whoa!
- Whoa!

Let me see.
Let me see.

Hey, he's driving.

And here,
someone edited it
and slowed it down.

- [voice on video] KO!
- Look at that!

Please stop.

Hey, here's one
edited to
a country song.

[vocalizing, grunts]

[country music playing]

[vocalizing, grunts]

That Super Guy is awesome.

I bet he likes
country music.

[Mud Singer grunting]

I'm gonna find you
and get my vengeance,

Super Guy!

So, Super Guy has
either disappeared,

or he's
ghosted me.

I mean, I'm not mad.

I'm just upset
that the town
lost a superhero.

Really? Because you've
brought him up 72 times
in the last 10 minutes.

That's an exaggeration.

I have a clicker.

- The point is Super Guy...
- 73.

...agrees to
an interview
for the story,

- and then Super Guy bails.
- 74.

It could have been huge.

I'm so tired
of writing fluff pieces.

Who cares that
the cafeteria menu
has a new font?

I want to cover
exciting news.

Good morning,
aspiring journalists.

As you know,
the school's newspaper

has the lowest readership
in its history.

But that's about to change.

Meet Elizabeth Knight,
a renowned
investigative journalist,

and your new
faculty advisor.

Thanks, Principal.

I think I got it from here.

Some of you may be wondering
why a renowned journalist

would be volunteering her time
to teach teenagers
how to write a story.

It's because you are
the future of journalism.

You know what
makes a good journalist?

- Uh, passion?
- No, the truth.

Hard hitting news
is what makes
a real journalist,

and not headlines like
"Water fountain pressure
at all-time low."

[boy] Hey, I worked
really hard on that.

People have
the right to know
what's really going on.

It's our job to put aside
personal feelings
and expose the truth,

no matter where
it takes us.

Now pitch me.

Uh...
"The cafeteria has
a new font"?

No, next.

I want to do a story
about the disappearance

- of the superhero
Super Guy.
- 75

Mm. Juicy.
But it's not enough

to just find out
about his disappearance.

Find out what he's about,
what he stands for.

And, most important,
who is under that mask.

Do you have any leads?

Oh!

No, I don't have
any leads.

Then get out there.

Hit the streets
and get the story.

I just met you


but I know
you can do it.

Yes, Miss Knight,
I can do it.

Oh, no.

Hey, I still need
another book.

We got a problem
and it's all your fault.

What did I do this time?

When you were prancing around
as a superhero,

you promised to meet up
with Hiromi
for an exclusive,

and then you
stood her up again.

I know.
And I've been feeling terrible
about it since it happened.

You're about to
feel worse,

because Hiromi is doing
a story about Super Guy

and she intends
on finding
his secret identity.

Would it be so terrible
if Hiromi figured out
I was Super Guy?

No. But what would be terrible
is if our new world renowned
journalist teacher

figured out you were
Super Guy.

Okay. Oh!

What if I make
an apology video
dressed as Super Guy

and say I have to go back
to my home planet?
Never to return. End of story.

Just get it done
before Hiromi finds
any leads.

- [Hiromi] I found a lead.
- Run.

The last time I saw Super Guy,
he was eating a sandwich
from the beef buggy.

Let's head down there now
and see if there's any clues.

[screaming internally]

- Cool.
- Come on, let's go.

I am a beloved superhero
flying through the sky.

Obviously, you'll be
on a harness.

We'll paint out the wires
in post.

All right,
let me get in there.

- Places, everyone.
- Hey, that's my job!

Hamster, what did you make
this costume out of?

- [Hamster] Burlap.
- Burlap?

We're working on
a budget, Kevin.

Order 56.

Come get the beef.

Hey, what can I get you?

We've got lots
and lots of beef,
and one salad.

♪ Beef Buggy ♪

♪ He got lots and lots
of beef ♪

And one salad.

Actually, we're looking
for information.

Do you know
the superhero Super Guy?

Do I ever?

He was
the best advertisement
money didn't buy.

When was the last time
you saw him?

The day this photo
was taken.

And there's no way
I am selling it.

Before he left,
did he say where he was going?

No, he just ate some beef
and then he left.

Well, you tried.

Might as well grab a snack
and never think
about this again.

Can I get the beef bonanza?

Fred, Look, there's something
pin to his costume.

It's a pin from the zoo!

It's our next clue.
Let's go.

But my beef!

Hey, back in the line, pal.

[customers grumbling]

[vocalizing]

- Anyone else?
- [customers gasp]

- I just want my beef.
- You there, beef buggy man,

Super Guy was known
for visiting this
carnivorous establishment,

and I'm on the hunt.

What, is the whole town
looking for him?

Two teens just came by,
saw that picture of him

wearing a zoo pin
and left for the zoo.

Yes!

♪ My next clue is... ♪

Hey, buddy,
are you ordering something,
or show tuning?

Eh... Okay.
I'll take your one salad.

Hi, Hiromi.
I promise I never intended
to stand you up,

but there was
an intergalactic evil.

And I have to go back
to my home planet and...

and... and... [sighs]

- Line.
- And save it from
being destroyed.

How have you not
learned your lines yet?

Cut.
Kevin, you're not
convincing me.

I need to feel it.

Can we take five?
I'm so hot

and these lights are
affecting my acting.

Yeah, it's the lights.

- [rope creaks, snaps]
- [Kevin screams]

- [loud thud]
- [sighs in exasperation]

Take five.

[Kevin groans]

Are you sure
that's all
you remember?

It's like I told you,
Super Guy came
to the zoo

for our superhero story hour
and left in a hurry.

[sighs]
We're out of clues.
It's over.

Where are you going?

I just told you he left
this library book In A Hurry.

Gave it a read.
Not for me.

Anyway,
maybe you can
return it for him.

This book's from
our school library!

Wow! Does that mean
that Super Guy
goes to your school?

- Yes.
- No.

Let's go
to the school library,
scan it,

and see
who checked it out.

[screams internally]

Cool.

I don't think
you should do your story.

It's not right
outing a superhero
without their permission.

At first
I might have
agreed with you,

but I think
Miss Knight was right.

We have to seek out the truth,
no matter where it leads us.

Come on,
the librarian's free now.

I could use a distraction
right about now.

[vocalizes]

You two children,
hand me that book.

- [girl screams]
- That was not the distraction
I was hoping for.

Book? What book?

The info booth man
at the zoo
told me everything.

That is his job, after all.

Now give me that book
so I can track down
Super Guy.

- Never!
- Come on, girls,
do the right thing.

No! The book!

There was an emergency
on my home planet, so,
I was forced to leave Earth,

and I won't be
coming back.

I'll never forget you.

Bye, forever.

[sniffling] Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant.

[cell phone ringing]

No phones on my set.

Sorry.
I'll put it on silent.

Hurry up.
I'm sweating so much
from these lights,

I'm gonna look like
a pinto bean.

- [vocalizing]
- [children screaming]

We gotta get out of here.

Not without that book.

I need to get that book away
from both of them.

Got it!

of my arch nemesis Super Guy.

Show's over, Mud Singer.

It's time for
your last curtain call.

You're not the superhero...

One, two. Liar.

Finally!

Ah. Let me scan it
for you.

Ah... Ah... sh**t!

So sorry.

Well, so much
for scanning the book.

But we know
he's a student here.

Fred, could you create
a database of male students
who frequent the library?

- Um... Me?
- Hey, superhero Gretel.

Do you know
what happened
to Super Guy?

Huh?

Oh... Yeah.

It's a little rough,
but this is for you,
Hiromi.

Hiromi, I'm sorry
I missed our meeting.

There was an emergency
on my home planet,

so I was forced to leave Earth
and I won't be coming back.

I'll never forget you.
Bye forever.

Words of a poet,
if I do say so myself.

So he's gone and
he's not coming back.
End of story.

- Wait.
But did he--
- Gotta go.

Well, I guess
that's the end
of my story.

But on the bright side,
you got a great headline
for tomorrow's paper.

Ah! I'm glad
everything worked out.

I'm so relieved
right now,

I don't even have
one sarcastic comment.

Now we can
finally relax.

[Elizabeth]
This isn't the end
of the story.

This is just
scratching the surface.

- Really?
- Yes.

There's definitely
a connection between
Hamster, Gretel and Super Guy.

If you look into
Hamster and Gretel,

you can uncover more
about your mystery hero.

I can do that.

Excellent!

We won't stop
until the truth is revealed,
no matter what it takes.

Absolutely.
No matter what
it takes.
