Meanwhile, a bus drove into town in a dark part of a city.

"Time to settle the score." Wilt said in determination.

"Wilt?" A voice asked. "Oh, my gosh, Wilt, is that you?!"

"Stats?" Wilt asked and then saw an imaginary scoreboard friend and smiled to him. "Stats!"

"So, you're Stats." Super Power Man smiled down to the imaginary scoreboard friend.

"Uh, that's me," Stats replied. "Have we met?"

"Wilt's told me a little about you." Super Power Man smiled.

"Well, it's sure good to see him again, it's been so long," Stats smiled back. "So, Wilt, what brings ya back to the 'hood?"

"I've come to see Larry." Wilt said, dramatically.

"And he's ready to finish and settle a certain basketball match." Super Power Man said.

"You know about that too, huh?" Stats replied. "You and Wilt must be close friends if he's willing to tell you about that."

"Yep, we're close, almost like brothers." Super Power Man smiled.

They soon came up to the old outdoor basketball court.

"Foul Larry!" Wilt called out.

"Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Sore Loser?" A voice glared from inside of a cloak towards Wilt. "You're late!"

"Sorry, he had some delays." Super Power Man said.

"Yeah, some things to take care of." Wilt added, assertively.

"It's been 30 years since I whooped your behind," Foul Larry scoffed to Wilt. "Come back for more?"

"No thanks, you know what I'm here for, Foul Larry," Wilt glared. "If that's okay."

"A rematch, huh? Another game of two-on-two?" Foul Larry smirked. "Oh, that's right, your little creator has gone away and left you all alone."

Super Power Man looked ready to fight Foul Larry, but restrained himself.

"Whatcha gonna do?" Foul Larry continued to mock and berate Wilt. "You think if you beat me, he'll forgive you? He'll take you back? Well, forget it, he don't want you no more! And you know why? Because you let him down, 'cuz a LOSER!"

"Why don't you prove it?" Wilt challenged as he opened his bag and brought out his old basketball and spun it on his fingertip. "Is that okay?"

Super Power Man soon decided to just watch the match. Other imaginary friends came to watch the game up close.

"Scared, Shorty?" Foul Larry mocked as he removed his cloak and came up to Wilt, being even taller than him.

"Ready when you are." Wilt glared.

"I know you can beat him, Wilt." Super Power Man told him.

"Thanks for coming, I really appreciate it." Wilt said to him.

"Anything for a friend." Super Power Man smiled sincerely.

Stats soon came with the ball and tossed it up in the air to start the game and Foul Larry shoved Wilt down so that he could have the ball.

'Now I see where he gets his name.' Super Power Man thought to himself.

And so the game was on. Foul Larry was about to shoot a basket, only for Wilt to smack the ball and smack Foul Larry down and he made the basket instead which made the friends cheer on the sidelines. Foul Larry dribbled the ball, but Wilt stole it from him, shooting another basket, and a lot more. He was about to shoot again, only for Foul Larry to elbow him out of the way, but this made everybody boo him.
