Futuristic Four Threat Level: Ophidian Rise

The Nano Cola Heist

The Paladin Base

Wilbur: Hey Hiro, have you tried Nano Cola? It's my favorite drink, and the electrolytes really boost my electric superpowers!

Hiro: Actually Wilbur, electrolytes don't work like that. They're minerals that help regulate the body's fluid balance and nerve function. While they are important for overall health, they don't directly enhance superpowers.

Wilbur: Oh... I didn't know that. But I swear every time I drink it, my powers feel stronger.

Hiro: Well, there could be other factors at play. Maybe the sugar or caffeine in the drink is giving you a temporary energy boost?

Wilbur: Maybe... but I still think it's the Nano Cola that's making me more powerful.

Hiro looks skeptical, but Wilbur cracks open a can of Nano Cola and takes a sip. Suddenly, he's surrounded by an electrical aura, and his eyes glow blue as his hands fill with electrical energy

Wilbur: See, I told you! Nano Cola really does boost my powers!

Hiro: Wow, I stand corrected. Maybe there's something in the drink that interacts with your electric powers in a unique way.

Wilbur: See, I told you! Nano Cola really does boost my powers!

Hiro: Wow, that's impressive. How many of those cans did you drink?

Wilbur: Um... like 65 cans?

Hiro: 65 cans?! Wilbur, that's not healthy! You need to be careful with that stuff.

Violet and Penny walk into the room. Wilbur drops a can and quickly rushes out of the room without saying anything.

Violet: What was that about?

Penny: I have no idea. Men are so weird sometimes.

Wilbur comes back into the room quickly, giving Penny a kiss on the cheek before rushing out again.

Penny: Okay, now that was weird.

Violet: I think Wilbur had too much Nano Cola. Maybe we should keep an eye on him.

Violet: I think Wilbur had too much Nano Cola. Maybe we should keep an eye on him.

Hiro: Actually, I think I need to use the bathroom myself. Wilbur might be in there for a while.

Hiro heads towards the bathroom, but just as he's about to enter, they hear Wilbur letting out a loud, high-pitched scream.

Violet: What was that? Is he okay?

Hiro: I don't know, but it sounds like we should check on him.

They rush towards the bathroom, but then they hear Wilbur laughing hysterically from inside.

Wilbur: Hahaha, that was amazing! I feel like I'm on top of the world!

Violet: What's going on in there?

Hiro: I don't know, but it sounds like Wilbur is having a good time.

They all start laughing together, enjoying the silly moment.

Penny: Hey Wilbur, make that Nano Cola last. I heard the company that makes them is going to shut down soon.

Wilbur lets out another girlish scream and rushes to the bathroom. He quickly zips up his pants and washes his hands before kicking the door down and asking Penny what she means.

Wilbur: What do you mean they're going to shut down? I can't live without Nano Cola!

Penny: I saw it on the news at my house. The company is bankrupt and they're going to stop production.

Wilbur: No, no, no! This can't be happening!

Violet: Why does Nano Cola mean so much to you, Wilbur?

Wilbur suddenly disappears, teleporting out of the base. He returns a few moments later wearing glasses and a lab coat, looking more serious and analytical.

Wilbur: Nano Cola is more than just a drink to me. It's a source of energy that helps me regulate my electric powers and maintain my focus during battles. And it's not just any energy drink - it's loaded with a special blend of electrolytes and nutrients that enhance my abilities in unique ways.

Wilbur starts rattling off scientific data and jargon, explaining the effects of Nano Cola on both normal humans and himself.

Violet: Wow, I had no idea. You really know your stuff, Wilbur.

Penny: So what are we going to do about the shutdown? Can we save the company?

Wilbur: I don't know, but we have to try. Nano Cola is too important to lose.

Wilbur starts to freak out at the news of the Nano Cola shutdown. Later, he's found in the corner of the living room in the base, hugging his knees and rocking back and forth. Penny comes in to comfort him.

Penny: Hey there, Wilbur. Are you okay?

Wilbur: I can't believe they're shutting down Nano Cola.

Penny: I know, it's tough news to hear. But we'll get through it together, okay?

Wilbur starts to calm down, and then suddenly has an idea. He leans in and kisses Penny on the lips, making her blush.

Todayland

Wilbur teleports out of the base and heads to his hometown Todayland. He stakes out Icy Zing, a convenience store that sells his favorite drink, Nano Cola. From the top of the building, he sees a group of trucks removing products from the store.

Wilbur: What's going on? Where's the Nano Cola?

He zooms in with his visor and sees a freezer full of Nano Cola in the back of the store. They're in crates, but nobody has touched them yet. This is his chance to really make his favorite drink last.

Wilbur: I have to get those crates. But how?

He uses his electrokinesis to power up a nearby truck that nobody is using and turns off the headlights so he won't be seen as easily. He drives to the back of the store to get his Nano Cola without alerting any of the employees.

Wilbur parks the truck near the back of the store and sneaks in through the back door. He avoids the security cameras and tiptoes past the shelves, making his way to the freezer where the Nano Cola is stored.

Wilbur: Okay, Wilbur, you can do this. Just sneak in, grab the crates, and get out.

He opens the freezer and sees the crates of Nano Cola in front of him. He starts grabbing them one by one and loading them onto the truck. The crates are heavy, but he uses his electric powers to make it easier to lift them.

Wilbur: Yes, yes, yes! This is the motherlode of Nano Cola!

He finishes loading up the truck and starts the engine. He carefully drives out of the back of the store and onto the road, making sure not to attract attention.

Wilbur looks at the crates of Nano Cola in the back of the truck and grins.

Wilbur: I may not have saved the company, but I've saved my supply of Nano Cola. And that's all that matters.
