Toboggan is preparing for his big match at SuperBrawl. He has been procrastinating with his more intense training regime, having held it off for months now. He kept telling himself, “I'll start tomorrow”. With the event now closing in, he is trying to compensate for the missed work. We see him and Charles in the community gym. They are currently at the bench press.
Toboggan: Charles, spot me.
Charles: But I still can't move my legs.
Toboggan: Did I ask about your legs?
Charles: Well, no……
Toboggan: That's what I thought, get spotting you leech.
Mantis puts a substantial amount of on the bar, much more than he can handle.
Charles: Mantis, this looks like too much.
Toboggan: Did I ask for your opinion? No, I asked you to spot.
Charles: Okay….
As Mantis unracks the bar, he realizes that the weight is too much and drops it. Unfortunately for Charles, it only lands on one of the racks, causing a pendulum effect.
Charles: JEEEEEZZZUSSSSSSSS , you dent one of the wheels on my chair. Get this off me.
Toboggan: Hey, I wasn’t the one that paralyzed you.
Charles: GET IT OFF!!!
Toboggan: Fine, you crybaby.
Mantis gets the bar off of Charles, reracks it, and puts a more reasonable amount of weight on the bar. They then continue his training. While on the bench press, Mantis starts talking about his upcoming match.
Toboggan: You know, who does this Stann guy think he is? Calling me out and talking smack like that. Does he think I am some kinda Jabroni like him?
Charles: I don’t know, why would I?
Toboggan: Because you are supposed to be helping me train for this in all sorts of ways.
Charles: Oh, I’ll get on that.
They continue on training with no other major incidents. They then go back to their home where Charles goes to study more on Stann McMann. Mantis is also preparing his special gear and entrance for the event as well. Toboggan is also trying to formulate a plan as to make up for his procrastination. Eventually he decides to try and use “performance enhancing drugs”.
Toboggan: Charles, get in here, I need you for something.
Charles: With what?
Toboggan: Just get in here
Charles: Alright, I’m on my way.
Charles enters the room and sees Mantis with a hypodermic needle full of some sort of liquid.
Charles: What the hell is that?
Toboggan: No time to explain, just inject me with it.
Charles: It looks nasty, but okay.
Charles gets behind Mantis and notices something strange on the ground.
Charles: Is this a GoGurt?
Toboggan: Maybe……
Charles: This is stupid, I’m not going to do it.
Mantis pulls out a revolver and points it at Charles.
Toboggan: You are going to inject it, when you like it or not.
Charles: Woah, there is no need to get violent, I’ll do it.
Charles injects it and nothing of note happens.
Toboggan: Did anything change?
Charles: I don’t think so.
Toboggan: Dammit, I guess we’ll have to study up on this guy after all.
Mantis and Charles start searching through everything they could find on McMann and study it.
How successful were they? Will Mantis finally get his win?
Toboggan: Charles, spot me.
Charles: But I still can't move my legs.
