Well, Ol' Pa Itchy was makin' his way towards the middle of Wall Street,
knockin' down banks and insurance companies as he went.  He guided Spashin
Robo through the streets, makin' sure he only stepped on cars that was real
expensive, like them stock brokers would drive.

Well, he'd just found hisself a stretch limo, and was busy putting it into
the seventh floor of a nearby office tower when he heard a familiar voice.

"Ichikawanga!  Have you grown so foolish that you think we wouldn't be
prepared for this?  That... thing is no match for Tono-Bungay!"

Spashin Robo stopped and turned, still holding the limo.  "Tanaka?  Haven't
you figured out that you can't beat me?  It's going to take more than a few
forged papers to get rid of me this time.  You're going to have to fight
Spashin Robo!"

Spashin Robo threw that limo up in the air, and started spitting fireballs
at Tono-Bungay.  The balls stuck where they hit and kept burning, until the
limo fell down right on top of Tono-Bungay.  Now that limo got smashed but
good when it hit ol' Tono-Bungay, and what with all the fire that was
around, it's not surprisin' that it blowed up.  Well, wasn't ol' Pa Itchy
surprised when the limo finished explodin' and Tono-Bungay was still
standing there without a scratch.

Tanaka started laughing, all evil like.  "As you can see, I've made
improvements to your original design.  And *I* haven't had to scrounge
for parts in a junkyard."

Tono-Bungay opened up on Spashin Robo with his thermo-electric cannon. 
Spashin Robo was knocked off his feet, right into the building that he was
gonna put that limo in before the fight.  Smoke started coming outta his
side...

Tanaka started gloating again.  "And now old friend, I'd like to show you a
little invention of mine.  I'm afraid it's always fatal."

Tono-Bungay jumped up over the building that Spashin Robo was in.  As he
came down, Tanaka activated the nucular piledriver.  Tono-Bungay started
glowing all over, and when he landed on the roof, the whole building was
pushed right into the ground, Spashin Robo and all.

Well, where that building used to be was now just an empty lot.  Tono-Bungay
returned to Kazamomo headquarters, being careful only to step on cheap cars
along the way.
