|
Daisy gets hurt in a fight between Puff, Onyx, and Static, and falls into a coma. Static blames himself, because he tried to show off instead of focusing on her safety. He tries to hunt down the two villains, destroying everything in his path. Rubberband Man succeeds in cooling him down. Puff and Onyx soon learn that Static has went on a destructive rampage to hunt them down. They decide to use this as an advantage to ruin his reputation, and do that by going on a rampage of their own to drive Static's anger to the top. This episode was aired out of order as Static is still using his old costume from before the start of the third season and Richie is not yet Gear. This episode was most likely supposed to be in the second season, explaining why Puff was in the second season opening but never actually appeared in that season. |
