"All right, guys, gather up. Today, we are going to be studying one of the most time-honored traditions in Japanese culture." Donald said when he walked into the lab and found the four superhumans practicing attacking each other.

"Ooh! Nun chuck combat?" "Samurai sword fighting?" "Iaijutsu?" "Wrestling ginormus dudes in diapers?" The four superhumans asked as they stood next to Donald.

"We will be studying the great martial art of aikido, the key principle of which is to deflect your aggressor's attack by using his own speed and strength against him." Donald explained.

"Can we just get to the part where we obliterate them?" Bree and Jodie asked, just as Donald's phone rang.

"I have to take this. Uh, it's about money. Which is not more important than you, but is a very close second." Donald said and walked out of the room.

"Hey, Adam, attack me." Chase said.

"Okay. Your hair is stupid, you're short, your face is weird, you're weird." Adam said.

"I meant hit me." Chase said.

"Okay, good, cause that was going to be a really long list." Adam said and got ready to hit Chase.

"Hang on. Are you sure about this? Ads is ten times stronger than you." Jodie said.

"Doesn't matter. With aikido, a weak apponent can defeat a much stronger one." Chase explained.

"Ah, but what if the weaker opponent fits neatly into an overhead storage bin? I'm talking about you." Adam said.

"Just hit me." Chase said. Both boys got into a fighting stance. Adam charged at Chase, who grabbed Adam's extended arm and flipped him over easily. "And that's all you need to know about aikido." Chase said walking over to Bree and Jodie.

"Oh, I get it." Bree said. She grabbed Chase's arm and flipped him to the ground.

"Bree, that's not aikido!" Chase said, from the ground.

"Oh, really? My bad." Bree said and did a handshake with Adam.

"Oh!" Adam and Bree said in a sing-songy tone, slightly bowing down and walked out of the lab, just as Leo walked in.

"Chase, I need your help. The annual Mission Creek Robot Throwdown is coming up." Leo said as he saw Jodie help Chase get back up.

"Is it that time again?" Jodie asked as Leo nodded.

"Yep." Leo answered.

"Leo, for the last time, I'm not a robot. I'm a man." Chase said as he and Jodie walked over to Leo. The two best friends looked at the bionic boy. "One day, I'll be a man." Chase continued.

"I'm not talking about you. It's a competition where remote control robots fight to the death. Here, take a look." Leo explained and played a video of the competition on the laptop.

"Leo, that's cool and all, but I've got way better things to do than-" Chase said, but was interrupted by Leo and Jodie.

"The grand prize is $500." The duo said.

"And I'm in." Chase said. Leo and Jodie high-fived. "Who's that guy?" Chase asked, looking back at the video.

"Kevin Stone. That smug, arrogant jerk wins every year. He thinks he's so much better than us." Jodie said, rolling her eyes as Leo nodded in agreement.

"Sounds like he is better than you." Chase said.

"That's not the point! So I was thinking-" Leo started.

"That if the three of us teamed up an built a robot together we could take Kevin down. That's a great idea. We'll make a perfect team. I'm an amazing engineer, a brilliant designer, and the most intelligent person on the planet. And you... are the one's who picked me." Chase said to the duo.
