Mac's backstory

This is how Mac tells his backstory in Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures of Shrek the Third.

[The cannonball destroys the piano]

[The evil trees and pirates retreat]

Captain Hook: Ugh, cowards!

Prince Gasket: You cowards!

Shrek: What has Charming done with Fiona?!

Thomas: And what has Dark Specter done with Sir Topham Hatt, Princess Celestia, and the others, Gasket?!

Prince Gasket: You'll never find out his plan to conquer the universe, Thomas!

Starscream: Soon, the Mut-Orgs will return, the Terrorzord and the Divazords will be rebuilt, and Maligore will be resurrected to destroy the Crime Syndicate and their master, Darkseid, and the Anti-Life Equation--

Prince Gasket: You blabbermouth!

Captain Hook: They've got what's comin' for them! [his hook is grabbed by an evil tree] And there ain't nothin' ye can do to stop them! [laughs evilly]

Trakeena: The day *will*come.

Deviot: When you *will*be defeated.

[Then they escape]

Puss in Boots: We've got to save them!

Donkey: But they're so far, far away!

Rygog: "Anti-Life Equation."

Elgar: What's the "Anti-Slice Senation"?

Cyborg: The Anti-*Life*Equation is super powerful.

Ransik: Cyborg's right. Anyone who learns from it could conquer the Earth, and the entire universe.

Mac Grimborn: It's all my fault.

[Shrek, Donkey, Arthur, and our heroes look at Mac]

Mac Grimborn: I was the one who created the Anti-Life Equation.

[the flashback begins with Mac wondering in the woods]

Mac Grimborn: [narrating] Years ago before donning my cape and mask, I started the most nefarious crime gang in history, I was helped by ponies. Wandering aimlessly, I eked out in the shadows made possible by Time Force.

[Then Mac sees the Crime Syndicate]

Sea King: Welcome aboard, matey! [laughs]

Mac Grimborn: Who are you?!

Ultraman: I am Ultraman, and these are my friends: The Justice Syndicate. Owlman, Superwoman, Grid, Atomica, Johnny Quick, Power Ring, Deathstorm, and Sea King.

Mac Grimborn: Where are you from?

Owlman: A parallel version of your world known as "Earth-3".

Mac Grimborn: What do you want?

Superwoman: To help.

Grid: Dark Specter has invaded our planet with the help of Darkseid.

Atomica: We need your help to stop them.

Johnny Quick: As reward for your help....

Power Ring: We'll give you great powers.

Deathstorm: With them, you can do whatever you want....

Sea King: Whenever you want.

Mac Grimborn: If Dark Specter's your enemy, then our quest is the same.

[He and Ultraman shake hands and Power Ring gives him great powers]

Mac Grimborn: [narrating] In return for my help, the gave me great, yet incredible powers.

Deathstorm: You made the right decision.

Johnny Quick: Hm. We'll see.

Superwoman: You might have a point there, Johnny.

[He then creates the Anti-Life Equation and vanishes it into thin air]

[They part ways as the flashback ends]

Mac Grimborn: Back then, I was filled with rage, hate and fear, I hungered for power, and because of it, I freed those criminals.

Diabolico: No, my friend, you mustn't blame yourself. The Crime Syndicate forced you to free them.

Loki (PR LR): Yeah, you need to learn a thing or two from the masters.

Mac Grimborn: [begins having a tragic past about his last masters]

Ecliptor: Mac, are you alright?

Mac Grimborn: My old masters. Syfo-Dyas, Count Dooku, Pong Krell.

Anakin: Mac had his previous old masters in the past.

Kendrix: Syfo-Dyas was his first master who trained him in the way of the Jedi Order.

Kegler: Mac said he was like a father to him.

Legolas: After his demise, Mac was assigned to his second master, Count Dooku on planet Geonosis.

Mac Grimborn: We fought a giant kraken on Serreno, his home planet. A horrible creature, it was.

Circuit: They had marvelous adventures. But when Dooku fell to the Dark Side, he was assigned and apprenticed to General Krell.

Mac Grimborn: He taught me everything I know about the Force, managed to get me to fight Lord Zedd and his minions. And....

Astrid: What?

Mac Grimborn: I think he really wanted me to follow in his footsteps. When he fell to darkness, I excecuted him, left the Jedi Order, and became a Ranger.

[Everyone looks shocked to hear Mac say that]

Thomas: Look, we know how you feel.

Kelsey: But being a Ranger is important, too.

Mac Grimborn: Not to them. The Force is their whole world.

Ecliptor: We cannot change the past.

Jen: But we *can*work for a better future.

Villamax: Now you have a chance to make things right. Let me teach you everything to become a true Master of the Force. What do you say? [gets out his hand]

Mac Grimborn: [turns to Villamax and reaches out for his hand] Teach me.

Astrid: [sighs] Thank Thor.
