...is still at large and considered extremely dangerous.
Moving on to our top story of the day --
He was once a champion to young do-gooders everywhere,
but now he's mysteriously vanished
from the public eye without a trace.
Where is Chip Damage?
The big-time superhero
and former dean at Point Prep Academy
astounded everyone with his incredible feats
of heroism and bravery
while still making time for his loving fan base!
Point officials have declined to comment on his sudden absence,
but you can trust me, Dynamite Watkins,
to ruthlessly pursue the answer to this mystery!
Just where has the man of damage gone to?
I'll tell ya where he is -- six feet under.
Enid, what do you call it
when you feel different ways about something?
Ambivalent? Right.
I think I feel ambient about Chip Damage.
Everyone seems to miss him so much,
but they don't know what he really was!
Oh, you mean how he wasn't a real person,
just a bunch of robotic drones cloaked in a hologram
made to serve as a figurehead
for the most prominent hero school in the world,
and then he went full villain
under the control of their mad-with-power leader?
Yeah!
I feel like I should tell them the truth.
But maybe it's better that they don't know?
I am not equipped to help you work through this.Ugh!
Huh? Huh?
Greetings, Lakewood Plaza!
The new head of Point has arrived!
Elodie? Enid!
Already sick of your new job at Pointless Prep?
Charming as ever, Enid.
On the contrary, I'm working on something for Point,
but I need some assistance.
Uh, I trust you now and all,
but I'm not really interested.
I wasn't talking about you, Enid.
I actually want K.O.
Me? K.O.?
I need help, and I think you're just the lad for the job.
Huh.
I promise Point is different now under new management, heh.
Hmm.
Eh, I say just go on your little field trip.
I can cover for you.
Besides, I'm sure Elodie will behave herself this time.
Okay. I'll help you, Elodie!
Fantastic! Let's get going, then!
As you can see,
Point Prep has changed quite a bit since your last visit.
The Point troopers have all been decommissioned,
the gifted and talented course disbanded,
and Foxtail is happy to be back
teaching the strength discipline.
Come on, one more. Yes!
Hey, there, sugar cube!
Chip Damage's old office?
I like what you did with the place.
Thanks.
So what did you need me for?
Don't be alarmed, K.O.
All you need to see is this.
Chip Damage?
Stay back! Stay back!
Don't worry.
He's not currently in operation.
Point is reintroducing Chip
in a big press conference at the end of this week.
That seems a little dangerous.
Which leads us to my request.
I need you to help me reprogram Chip.
What?!
I-I don't know how to reprogram an evil robot!
Why can't you just ask Dr. Greyman?
Greyman is retired now.
Besides, we have an opportunity to make Chip
into what he was really supposed to be --
the pinnacle of heroism!
Isn't that right?
I don't know.
I don't really believe in Chip anymore,
and it's made me question a lot about myself, too.
Sometimes it feels like it was all a waste.
What about this?
Did this mean anything to you?
You're right.
He meant a lot to me
because he was the kind of hero I want to be.
I looked up to him, too.
Really?
I...I have a secret to tell you.
Promise me you won't tell anyone about this.
Mm-hmm.
Do you remember the Chip Damage fan forums?
Oh, yes!
I used to go on there all the time.
Do you remember a user
by the name of DamagedPrincess555?
The founder of the forums?
I learned so many of my Chip Damage facts from them!
Did you know them, too?
I needed a place to express myself,
so I started the Chip Damage fan forums.
You're DamagedPrincess555?!
Posting for hours and hours about our favorite
Chip Damage moments, that was you?!
Uh-huh.
Ah, even today,
I still reminisce on all his heroic acts.
All those kitties he saved.
All those grandmothers he helped cross the street.
We have to fix him.
My thoughts exactly.
I've repurposed Greyman's old lab,
so we can run some simulations for Chip 2.0.
It should help us refine his programming
until he's the perfect hero.
It seems kind of empty and dark.
Wow!
The first test is fairly simple --
all Chip has to do is save a cat stuck in a tree.
Oh.
Aww!
Even a level-one hero could ace this test.
Hmm.
Aah.
Oh, cob! End simulation!
Aah. Huh?
Probably just a small glitch.
Let's try another test.Oh!
He only needs to help an old person cross the street.
Piece of cake, huh?
Oh! Huh.
Ooh! Ooh!
Huh.
Aah!
Hmm.
You know what?
Why don't we just directly input the traits
we would want in the ideal hero?
No silly simulations,
just straight to the point.
Oh, like, uh, helpfulness and being nice.
Strength and courage,
being fearless in the face of evil.
Flossing regularly!
K.O., I think it's time we take Chip out of this lab
and into the real world!
But how do we make sure he isn't used for evil again?
I'll just adjust his levels a bit,
and he should be ready for a field test!
That ought to do the trick!
If anything, he might be tooheroic this time!
All right.
Chip, time for your field test.
Go ahead and help any of these people you see here.
Hmm. Scanning.
Hmm.
Help! Help! I need my Chip!
Not to worry, citizen.
Chip Damage, thank cob you're here.
You've ruined my life!
Oh, my aching old bones.
Oh!
Hi, Chippy. Oh!
Thanks, Chippy!
I really could use a vacation.
What have we done?
This Chip is somehow worse than before.
Oo, ha, oo, ha, oo, ha!
That is enough, Chip! Oh!
Chip, my simple boy.
Dr. Greyman! Dr. Greyman!
How did you stop Chip?
I can explain, but we need to go somewhere private.
I secretly implanted a kill switch in Chip
in case Foxtail ever tried something funny again.
I can't believe she would reactivate Chip
after all that happened.
You would think Foxtail would have learned her lesson
the first time!
Foxtail didn't reactivate Chip.
We did.
You did?! Why?!
We tried to reprogram him to be better than before.
We thought --
Ithought he could be different this time,
an inspiration to future heroes everywhere.
Oh, Elodie.
When I first built Chip, I had the same dream.
All I wanted was to give young heroes someone to look up to
so that they could be better than we were.
When looking at you two,
it seems I was successful in that regard, at least,
but there is so such thing as the perfect hero,
especially when that hero is controlled by a puppetmaster,
no matter how good their intentions are.
Then perhaps it's time that we let Chip
decide what he wants to be.
After troubling sightings of Chip Damage this week,
today is the big day.
The crowd is completely split over how they feel!
Where has he been?!
Has he become a villain?
What does the future hold for Chip Damage?
Is everything going to be okay?
I guess it's up to Chip now.
What? Hold on. Breaking news, people!
A cat andan old lady are stuck in a tree on the scene!
Help.
This is just terrible!
Aren't there any heroes here that can help?
It's me, Chip Damage.
Chip! Chip! Chip! Chip!
Hello, good citizens.
I, Chip Damage, am here to tell you
that Chip Damage is no more.
I recently discovered that I am not a real man
but a holo-man made to inspire future heroes.
I am sorry for the ruse,
but now that Elodie, a real-life man, is in charge,
you will have the hero you all needed in me.
I love you all.
Goodbye.
Hi, everyone.
I'm K.O.
I used to be Chip's biggest fan,
and when I found out he was a holo-man, I was crushed.
When someone you look up to lets you down,
it feels like everything you believe in is gone,
but I learned not even the biggest heroes are perfect.
K.O. is right.
We shouldn't put all our trust and beliefs
into one single person to save us
because we all mess up.
We should put that faith into
the real heroes in our lives --
our friends, the ones we love,
and most of all, ourselves.
We can always help each other.
Yay! Hooray!
