1
Previously, I'm Max Steel.
2
Since when can we fly?
3
What is that?
4
Get him on the safety.
5
You got it.
6
We're going to be chums for a long, long time.
7
Let's go turbo!
8
I'm Max McGrath.
9
Here's my buddy Steel.
10
Yeah, he's an alien.
11
I generate the power, Steel has the alien tech to control it.
12
Together, we combine into awesome turbo modes.
13
Take on the bad guys?
14
Save the world.
15
You know, hero stuff.
16
We are Max Steel.
17
The clock is ticking, people.
18
We need an Omega Priority Rescue scenario ASAP.
19
What do we know?
20
Not much.
21
No after -battle trace of the Elementors or Max's energy signature.
22
We're blind.
23
Not for long.
24
Analyze these.
25
Stat.
26
I want a brief and an action plan in 30.
27
Yes, sir.
28
Welcome back, my friend.
29
Feeling better?
30
So am I, as you can plainly see.
31
Thanks to you, and as soon as you generate more turbo energy, I'll feel better still.
32
Okay, this is where
33
Max was grabbed.
34
Factoring time and optimal underground travel speed of the Earth Elementor, we believe Max is somewhere within this radius.
35
And that's transhuman industries.
36
So THI wants the kids turbo juice.
37
Who are these guys?
38
Molly, the files you swipe from THI?
39
Priceless.
40
Check this out.
41
This is THI Tower.
42
The plans look ordinary enough until...
43
Steel?
44
Until you activate the hyper -encrypted cypher code buried deeper than the data file
45
This place is a fortress.
46
I don't know how you got in and out of there in one piece
47
Molly They weren't expecting company.
48
They will be now still we did find one way in There's an exterior maintenance stuck between tower levels 58
49
and 59 hmm aerial approach Rappel down along the south side.
50
Uh, we said it's a maintenance duct not a doorway too small for a person
51
But, not too small for me.
52
Why are you doing this?
53
Why?
54
Why does anyone do anything? For power.
55
Why are you working with N -Tech?
56
N -Tech?
57
Never heard of it.
58
Please.
59
You were seen with my former colleague, the insufferable Forge Verus.
60
And you remind me of another old friend.
61
He dreamed of saving the world by harnessing the most powerful energy source anyone had ever discovered.
62
Turbo energy.
63
An energy I knew could make us all rich beyond our wildest dreams.
64
ROCC to Beach Ball.
65
Status.
66
Approaching THI Tower.
67
Level 56.
68
57. 58.
69
Maintenance hatch achieved.
70
How are we on time?
71
32 minutes.
72
It'll be close.
73
Close?
74
Max and Steel are ultralinked.
75
They can only be apart for eight hours.
76
After that, Max goes critical with turbo energy.
77
Actually, Max is not in danger of overloading.
78
I can read his turbo energy signature from here and it's quite low.
79
And unfortunately, so is mine.
80
That's the other problem.
81
If Steel can't link up with Max, he runs out of juice and shuts down.
82
Permanently.
83
And so, I decided to simply take what I wanted.
84
Wow, surprising twist.
85
While I couldn't understand how he was creating the turbo energy, I was able to build a device that could siphon
86
and store this energy for my own purposes the siphon worked
87
but the storage disastrous the resulting turbo energy explosion permanently embedded my siphoning device into my body horrible really
88
but thanks to my device my body absorbed the turbo energy alas my colleague he did not survive C 'est la vie.
89
How's our boy doing?
90
So far, so...
91
Steel?
92
Sorry for the outburst, it's just that this access duct is some kind of sewage line.
93
Eh, lo siento.
94
Whoops.
95
That one massive blast of turbo energy has sustained me for 16 years.
96
It has given me power unimaginable, but nothing lasts forever.
97
No matter.
98
I have you now, my new best friend.
99
Given the story about your last friend, I'm not really feeling all that chummy.
100
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be the man I am today.
101
In a deliciously ironic way, I owe it all to Jim McGrath.
102
Jim McGrath?
103
Your turbo levels have recharged even faster than anticipated
104
What do you say we eat?
105
Yes!
106
What a rush!
107
Let's do this again, shall we?
108
Say in an hour?
109
Release the boy or else!
110
Steal!
111
An ultralink!
112
Am I glad to see you.
113
The feeling's mutual.
114
Now, quick, let's...
115
A turbo power boy and a functional ultralink?
116
This is my lucky day.
117
Too weak, too little, too late.
118
Steel!
119
Sorry, running on fumes here.
120
Not for long.
121
It's much better.
122
Now, let's get out of here.
123
Go turbo!
124
Whoa, flight!
125
Let's check.
126
Huh?
127
Whoa!
128
Maybe I wasn't clear.
129
You are never leaving this place.
130
Scary man's creeping me out, Max.
131
Give it all you got.
132
No!
133
Texas, no!
134
Max!
135
Steal!
136
Max!
137
I don't want to go to school today.
138
Ow.
139
He's okay.
140
Mom, he has steel.
141
Who has him?
142
Dredd.
143
Miles Dredd.
144
Dredd?
145
That's not possible.
146
Dredd died 16 years ago.
147
I was there.
148
He knew all about N -Tech.
149
About you, Uncle Ford.
150
You knew about turbo energy.
151
And he said he was behind what happened to Dad.
152
I'd have thought you'd be less jovial.
153
What with your plans being foiled and all.
154
For an amazingly sophisticated automaton, you're not very bright.
155
The boy has given me enough turbo energy to power me for a good long while.
156
And as for you, well, let's just say I've made some serious plans.
157
How do you like this plan?
158
Plans that do not, however, require you to be conscious.
159
Mr. Dread, to what do I owe this supreme pleasure?
160
And may I say that you are looking fit and fat?
161
Mr. Knott, change of plans.
162
I have finally obtained the missing component for our original plan.
163
Splendid news, sir.
164
I will reinitiate our previous operation as soon as possible.
165
Destiny waits for no man.
166
Now, Mr. Knott.
167
Now!
168
uh commander now what not crap
169
we're done being subtle cat scramble the troops on their way commander on my way too commander no
170
you're not martinez stay analyze oh man
171
We have to get out there and help.
172
We have to rescue Steel.
173
We will, but we need to know what we're dealing with.
174
I have it, boss, but you're not going to like it.
175
The device seems to be an ultralink -based energy catalyst.
176
It's triggering a fissile reaction with the human body that's generating a tiny fraction of turbo energy.
177
Why are we affected?
178
Because all of our gear is N -Tech issue.
179
The device only affects people using THI devices, phone, watch, music player.
180
That's what's attracting these tendrils of energy.
181
Dread must have been planning this for years.
182
So Dredd is going to squeeze the life out of every
183
last person in Copper Canyon just to get his next turbo energy fix?
184
With your buddy
185
Steel making it all possible. Is that you, honey?
186
Oh, you.
187
Yuck.
188
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

193
Release the hounds!
194
Sir, it appears we have guests.
195
Visitors from Entek.
196
Deal with it, and see that I'm not disturbed again.
197
You're harshing my mellow.
198
I don't know.
199
That's my ticket to ride!
200
Max!
201
I gotta save Steel, Mom!
202
I think me and him together, we can stop all this!
203
Go!
204
I'll cover you.
205
I wish you were here to see him, Jim.
206
Ah, company.
207
Delightful.
208
Can I get you anything?
209
Would you like to use the executive washroom?
210
Does everyone working here have a screw loose?
211
Uh -uh.
212
I assure you, I'm of sound of mind and body as you.
213
Better, in fact.
214
We don't call it transhuman industries for nothing.
215
Allow me to demonstrate.
216
Oh, boy.
217
Did you really think it was going to be this easy?
218
Oh, no. Oops.
219
Elementor!
220
I may have to stay, but I'm still going to play.
221
Zika!
222
Yes!
223
There's hope for that boy yet.
224
steel max didn't i recently risk my life getting you out of here well now we're even
225

227
It's their Achilles heel!
228
Let's finish this, people!
229
Max!
230
The Switch!
231
All right, Dread.
232
He can dish it out.
233
Now let's see if you can take it.
234
Oh, I can take it!
235
That's my whole thing!
236
Weren't you, dum -dums, paying attention?
237
Any more bad ideas?
238
Rotocall X -795.
239
Worth a shot.
240
Go turbo!
241
Strength!
242
Whatever you do only feeds me.
243
Makes me more powerful.
244
I'll drain you to a husk.
245
I'll take everything you have.
246
Then I'll just have to make.. more!
247
Ah, the good soldier and the merry widow.
248
I'd love to stay and chat, but it'll have to wait.
249
No!
250
I have to stop falling from high places.
251
Joust anyone?
252
Go turbo!
253
Flight!
254
Go turbo!
255
Strength!
256
All this exercise is making me hungry.
257
Hey, I have another bad idea.
258
What happens if I generate too much turbo?
259
Uh, you go boom.
260
So, what happens if Greedy Gus over there eats too much turbo?
261
You're right, this is another bad idea.
262
You with me?
263
Well, duh.
264
Let's do this, partner.
265
Cowabunga!
266
Hey, the overgrown pilot race!
267
What do you say we hug this out?
268
Go turbo!
269
Flight!
270
Turbo Dapper's off!
271
Perhaps I hit you harder than I realized!
272
You cannot harm me!
273
You can only make me stronger!
274
Max, no!
275
Yes, this is the power I remember!
276
The power I've dreamed of!
277
Uh -oh!
278
No!
279
No!
280
It's too much!
281
Too much!
282
Just giving you what you wanted!
283
Oh, and Miles?
284
Jim McGrath sends his regards!
285
Whoa!
286
Seems we're still on the clock.
287
How does it feel to have saved all of Copper Canyon?
288
What can you tell us about THI?
289
Are you a strange visitor from another planet?
290
What's your name?
291
Max Steel.
292
And there you have it.
293
Copper Canyon saved by its very own superhero, Max Steel.
294
What part of secret organization did they not understand?
295
You should be proud.
296
Heck, I'm proud.
297
Copper Canyon is safe.
298
The bad guys are gone.
299
Now we just got to figure out who's going to sort through the mess at THI.
300
What?
301
We'll be right back.
302
We'll be right back.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
