00:03 Let's do this.
00:06 This was never a great city, but it was ours.
00:12 Are you with me?
00:14 Always.
00:15 Until Hilda Van der Kooij took it from us.
00:18 This is how she keeps control.
00:20 They call it the calling.
00:22 They're all going to watch and cheer as you die.
00:26 That's me, facing televised execution
00:30 by breakfast cereal mascots.
00:33 Not my happiest day.
00:36 But let me take you back to an even worse one.
00:40 The day the Van der Kooijs killed my family
00:44 and left me deaf and mute.
00:48 So I made a three-step plan.
00:50 Step one, give myself an inner voice.
00:54 I took the last one I remembered from this video game.
00:57 Player one wins.
00:59 Step two, get stronger.
01:03 A lot stronger.
01:04 And step three, join a team.
01:11 Welcome to the resistance.
01:14 Yeah, go team.
01:16 The mission is simple.
01:19 Make the Van der Kooijs pay for what they have done.
01:23 Insert crazy action montage.

01:28 Teen boom, got the bomb.
01:32 Teen boom is caving in.
01:35 [GUNSHOTS]
01:36 You never been so nuts about a guy you want to love.
01:40 Here comes the hop-up.
01:41 You cross your heart and hope to die.
01:45 You know how hard it is to get a cereal company
01:47 to sponsor mass murder?
01:48 [WHISTLE]
01:49 [GUNSHOT]
01:50 [MUSIC - THE VAMPIRES, "CRAZY ACTION MONTAGE"]
01:52 Wow.
01:52 You ring the bell.
01:54 And who's there to shout New Year?
01:57 [YELLING]
01:59 Plan time.
02:00 [GUNSHOTS]
02:03 I don't like this plan.
02:04 Know what they use.
02:06 When they shoot, I fall in love.
02:09 [GUNSHOT]
02:10 You have reached your final destination.
02:13 Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow your fuse.
02:17 Oh my god, no.
02:18 I have information.
02:20 I'm going to help you.
02:21 Stop.
02:22 [GUNSHOTS]
02:25 Hope he wasn't going to help us.
02:28 Definitely sounded like he was going to help us.
