Panel 1:
The city skyline trembles as the massive mechanical kazoo looms over downtown, blasting deafening notes that send cars flying and shatter windows. Civilians flee in terror while the heroes assemble below.
SFX: HONNNKKK! BWEEEP! PHHHHRRRRT!
Narration Box: "Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of men like a badly tuned kazoo."
Titanica (covering her ears): "I can feel my eardrums exploding! Someone shut that thing up!"
Panel 2:
No Plot Man casually steps forward, twirling the rubber chicken in his hand. The rest of the team looks tense, weapons and powers at the ready.
No Plot Man: "Relax, folks. I've got this. No one knows annoying noises better than me."
Titanica: "This isn't a joke!"
No Plot Man (grinning): "Who's joking? I've been preparing my whole life for this moment."
Panel 3:
The kazoo tilts forward, revealing a glowing orb in its center. It pulses with chaotic energy, sending waves of destruction across the street. A massive claw extends from its side, smashing a building.
SFX: KRAKABOOM!
Beartron 9000: "Oh no! Not the bagel shop!"
No Plot Man (shouting): "Bagels can be replaced, Beartron! Focus on the kazoo!"
Panel 4:
Neon Wraith leaps into action, his glowing blades slicing at the kazoo's metallic exterior. Sparks fly as he dodges a claw swipe.
Neon Wraith: "It's reinforced with chaos energy. We'll need to hit it where it's weakest."
No Plot Man: "And that would be…?"
The Mystic (hovering, eyes glowing): "The orb. It's amplifying the sound waves. Destroy it, and the beast will fall."
Panel 5:
Titanica smashes one of the kazoo's legs with her glowing gauntlets. The kazoo stumbles slightly, but its sound blast sends her flying into a nearby building.
SFX: THOOM!
Titanica: "Ugh… someone hit that orb already!"
Beartron 9000 (launching missiles): "Missiles incoming! Pew pew!"
SFX: BOOM! BOOM!
Narration Box: "Spoiler: the missiles do absolutely nothing."
Panel 6:
No Plot Man steps into the chaos, holding up the rubber chicken like a divine weapon. The kazoo's glowing orb seems to pulse in sync with the chicken.
No Plot Man: "Alright, chicken buddy. Time to earn your keep."
Neon Wraith (dodging debris): "Whatever you're planning, do it now!"
Panel 7:
No Plot Man squeezes the chicken, and it lets out a high-pitched squeak that cuts through the kazoo's cacophony. The sound waves ripple, causing the kazoo to pause for a moment.
SFX (chicken): SQUEEEEAK!
Kazoo: "ERROR. COUNTERFREQUENCY DETECTED."
Beartron 9000: "He's actually doing something!"
Panel 8:
With the kazoo momentarily stunned, The Mystic channels her orbs into a massive energy blast aimed at the orb. The attack creates a crack in the glowing core.
SFX: KZZZZT! KRRRACK!
The Mystic: "The core is destabilizing! Finish it!"
No Plot Man (grinning): "Don't mind if I do."
Panel 9:
No Plot Man leaps into the air, wielding the rubber chicken like a hammer. He brings it down on the orb with all his might. The chicken glows brightly as it makes contact.
SFX: BOOOOOM!
Narration Box: "Never underestimate the power of poultry."
Panel 10:
The kazoo explodes in a burst of colorful confetti and sparks. The heroes shield themselves from the blast as the remains of the kazoo crash to the ground.
SFX: KA-BOOM!
Beartron 9000: "Hooray! We saved the bagel shop! Oh wait, no, we didn't."
Panel 11:
No Plot Man stands triumphantly in the rubble, holding up the now slightly melted rubber chicken. The other heroes approach, battered but alive.
Titanica (sarcastic): "Congratulations. You hit it with a squeaky toy."
No Plot Man: "Hey, a win's a win. And I didn't even get mustard on my suit this time."
Panel 12:
Agent Thorne arrives in a hovercar, looking as unimpressed as ever. She steps out and surveys the destruction.
Agent Thorne: "The Hero Association thanks you for your service. Now let's talk about the million-dollar cleanup bill."
No Plot Man: "Oh, don't worry. I left my wallet in my other spandex."
Panel 13 (final panel):
As the heroes laugh and bicker, the camera pans to the rubble of the kazoo. A faint glow emanates from a shard of the orb, and a shadowy figure picks it up.
Shadowy Figure (whispering): "This is only the beginning. The Symphony of Chaos will rise."
Narration Box: "Victory tastes sweet… but trouble is always just a few notes away."
