Antboy 3

---

It's a sunny day.

Our summer countdown

continues as always,

right here on Middleland Radio.

Here's Kiss Me Fatboy,

with hot summer fun.

But first, a quick

message from our sponsors.

Good morning, Teddy.

OK, I know what you're thinking.

Who's that grinning idiot?

It's me, Pelle Nohrmann.

Some people know me

as a ninth grader

at Middleland High School.

Others as the superhero Antboy,

who protects the

innocent and cracks down

on criminals.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How come you're in

such a good mood?

I just am.

Middleland

crime rate has seen

a rapid decrease

since the appearance

of the superhero

Antboy, who came to town

three years ago.

Therefore, the township

has officially joined

together with Exofarm,

in order to honor

Antboy, by erecting

a statue of him.

A statue?

Well, that's a waste

of taxpayer money.

Antboy deserves

it for all his help

around this city.

That's right.

Three years ago, the

Flea's Hercules serum

gave me superpowers.

If you told me then

where I'd be today,

I would have never believed you.

But if there's one thing

I've learned in life,

that is this.

Everything can change.

Pelle, wake up.

Pelle.

Pelle?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I think so.

You could use the door

once in a while, you know.

Did you hear about my statue?

Thanks.

Here.

Sugar's not good for me, anyway.

Want to share mine?

What flavor?

Strawberry and rhubarb kiss.

Want to try?

Thanks.

So, did you hear from

the boarding school yet?

No, not yet.

And you?

Got my letter today.

What did it say?

Practical info.

We're going skiing in

the second semester.

Without parents.

It's just William.

I bet you he just

wants me to change

the batteries on the Ant Com,

I'll call him back later.

Did you tell him

about boarding school?

No.

Not yet, no.

Here.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

But I already have a watch.

That's more than just a watch.

It's a police radio

frequency scanner.

It alerts you if

Antboy is needed.

Press twice on the side

in case of emergency.

Like this.

That way we can always get

in touch with each other.

What is it?

It's Maria, she sent

a pic from Germany.

Bummer she had to leave?

Yeah.

I mean, that the Fury can't

help us catch villians here

in Middleland.

There aren't many

super villains left.

Maybe there's no

need for a superhero.

Ida's going away

for boarding school.

I've been giving

it a lot of thought.

And I'm going with her.

What?

Yeah, I went to the

entry day with her,

and it was super cool.

You can do film, photography,

work in so many workshops,

take up kayaking, fencing,

or become a glass blower.

You want to become

a glass blower?

No, I don't know what I want.

I don't know what I'm good at.

I really have no idea.

I mean, come on, being

Antboy is all I know.

I'll be back next year.

I'm going to

boarding school, too.

You never said anything.

The admission criteria

are pretty tough.

So I wasn't sure I'd get in.

What school is it?

Xavier Academy, for

gifted youngsters.

That's really cool.

Yeah.

Well, I gotta go.

To do what?

I have to study.

It's summer break.

I'm studying in advance.

Burglary

in progress on

A10 Harold Road.

Any cars nearby?

All right, let's

get a move on.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

Monkeying around, are we?

Antboy?

You better get out of here,

or face the consequences.

You couldn't find

a better costume?

It's incredible that

people are still stupid

enough to break the

law around here.

You know I'm gonna catch you.

Let's wipe out

this little bug.

What the?

What?

You're too slow, Antboy.

It's my turn now.

Who are you?

Sweat and lemons?

Antboy seems

to be challenged by a new,

unknown crime fighter.

Just last night, the

unnamed hero stopped

a crime from being

committed in Middleland,

Vimmelstrop, and Hassleborough.

Albert Gilmalkra.

You were admitted to

Dragonsport two years ago,

convicted of theft, breach

of Danish air space,

the abduction of

Amanda Summerstead,

and William Theson.

Also the extortion of

Henreich Summerstead,

CEO of Exofarm and

damage to municipal

property amounting

to several million.

Criminal acts all

perpetrated under the alias

the Flea.

This committee was

assembled with the purpose

to assess whether you are

ready to be discharged.

What do you intend to do,

should you be released?

I've always been

very fond of plants.

There is a beautiful

botanical garden in Vimstrop,

maybe I could apply

for a job there.

How about your

scientific career, sir?

Do you intend to finish

the research begun before

your incarceration?

No, that chapter is

closed for me, sir.

How about Antboy?

Do you still harbor the

same intense hatred for him

as when you came here?

My dismissal from Exofarm,

and the grief over my

mother's death led me astray.

I've done terrible things.

Things I regret bitterly today.

And I don't hate Antboy.

On the contrary, I'm

grateful to him for

stopping me before the

Flea hurt anyone seriously.

Were it not for Antboy,

I may never have

mended my ways, Doctor.

So, what do you think?

OK.

I think we're good to go.

Do you agree?

I think we are.

The committee,

hereby, finds you to be

100 percent rehabilitated

and that you no longer

pose a threat to Middleland.

Mr.

Albert Gilmakra?

The CEO of Exofarm

wants to see you.

Tell Summerstead

I'm not interested.

Henrick

Summerstead is no longer the CEO
