It Came From Outer Space
When Rev hacked into Tech's computer, he and Lexi play what they believed was a simulated video game. But when Tech entered, he was shocked for what they had done, and he told them it was an X-3000 automated weapons system, and Lexi had just launched a missile against an asteroid cluster that once belonged to Melvin the Martian, along with his robotic dog Sergeant Sirius. When Melvin contacted the Loonatics, he complained about the damage Lexi and Rev had done.
Melvin: …also for destroying my galactic death cruiser, my collection of hand painted space dishes, my Martians playing poker painting, and my Martian frog and monkey statue. I demand you surrender at once or your planet will be destroyed.
The room was filled with horrified gasps for second, until Melvin made a compliment.
Melvin: By the way, nice missile targeting.
Lexi: Thanks. Uh, I mean…(smiles innocently) it was an accident.
Rev: (hand on Lexi's shoulder) Yeah, we thought we were playing a game but it wasn't a game it was real, but of course you knew that or you sort of knew that if you didn't know that…you know?
Duck: Ah, I'd say mini mean and green here is all talk!
Melvin: Brave words from someone who's a finger snack from where I come from.
Duck: Like I haven't heard that one before. I bet you couldn't hit the broad side of a moon with that thing!
Melvin: Oh really?
The Martian pushed a button and beams shot out and blasted the moon into an explosion, shocking Duck, who then tried to be cool about it.
Duck: Easy shot. I bet you could hit something smaller like – like those stars over there!
Another beam shot out from the Martian's spaceship and blasted at several stars, leaving nothing but darkness in space.
Duck: (gasps) Ok, another easy shot. How about trying the sun buddy? But this time, with your eyes shut-
Before he could finish his sentence, Ace clammed Duck's beak shut.
Ace: Let's not get carried away here, Duck. Leave something to twinkles up there.
Lexi: Maybe I should do the talking. I mean, I am the one who caused this.
The girl bunny approached the screen, then tried to flatter Melvin by complimenting him on his outfit.
Lexi: Hi, Mr. Melvin the Martian sir, heh, love your helmet and those shoes, I always heard that Martians had the best fashion sense.
Duck: Best fashion sense? The guy's wearing a tutu?
Slam chuckled while Duck walked over to the screen and pushed Lexi aside to open that big, fat, beak of his again.
Duck: Listen cornball, if you take over Acmetropolis, it's just gonna be one more planet for you to keep track of.
Melvin: True. I do have so many planets. It's hard to keep count.
Rosie: (moves Duck aside) Mr. Melvin, just ignore Duck. Please don't try to take over or destroy our planet, it's our home and we're happy down here. Why, if Duck said it would be hard to keep track of our planet, it's not like you'd shrink Acmetropolis just to make room.
Melvin: Good idea! I won't destroy your planet…
Ace, Lexi, Rev, Tech, and Slam smiled with relief, for a moment.
Melvin: I'll shrink everything on it and add it to my collection!
Now everyone's faces were filled with shock. Rosie's jaw dropped, then face palmed.
Rosie: UGH! I am such an idiot!
Duck: Good job, toots. Although I could've handled it easy. Now he's only going to…(gasps) SHRINK OUR PLANET!?
Lexi: (approaches screen) Please, don't do anything rash just because I thought I was playing some silly game.
Melvin: You must be a very good game player. Hmm…I've just learned a new game interstellar checkers. Unfortunately, Sergeant Sirius lacks a CPU strong enough to master suck a game. (Sirius licks him) He's more of a rock, paper, scissors kind of robot.
Rosie: I guess that is pretty rough.
Lexi: That's too bad. It's not much fun playing games when no one around has your skills.
Both girls glanced back at the guys. Slam had a bored expression, Duck was picking at something in his ear, Ace, Tech, and Rev had frowns on their faces.
Lexi: Believe me. I can relate.
Melvin: Oh goody! Then it's settled. I won't shrink or destroy your planet, I'll just take you.
Lexi: (gasps) What do you mean take me!?
Protective Ace walked over and placed his hands on Lexi's shoulders as he glared at Melvin.
Ace: Alright, listen here space cadet, no one's taking Lexi!
Melvin: Ooooh!
Rosie: (frowns) If you want to take someone, you can take me instead of Lexi! I'm the one who blew up your ship by accident!
Like Ace, Tech suddenly became protective as he walked over to Rosie, grabbed her arm, and forcibly pulled her a couple feet away from the large screen.
Tech: Rosie, lying to protect Lexi won't change his mind! And I'm not taking any chances of letting you go to the Martians!
Melvin: You have twenty four hours to reconsider, after that Acmetropolis will be very hard to find on any map!
The screen went off as the space ship left, leaving Lexi dismayed. Moments later, Ace, Duck, Rev, Tech, and Rosie were in Tech's lab. Tech was at the computer typing.
Ace: There's gotta be something we can do to stop the little pipsqueak. I mean, you are a super-genius.
Tech: True, but the Martian civilization is ten million years ahead of ours. They can do a few things even I can't do.
Duck: You mean like wearing a tutu out in public?
Tech: I mean, like producing a trillion times the power of our entire planet. With that much juice, we're toast.
Lexi and Rosie gasped when they heard this, then they both silently walked away from Rev, who was standing behind the guys.
Ace: Well, we got no choice. If Tiny wants a war, we'll give him a war.
Duck: Or we could just give him what's her name.
He was obviously referring to Lexi. The guys frowned at Duck, but what surprised them was that Lexi actually agreed with Duck.
Lexi: Listen guys, Duck's right. I'm the one to blame. I feel like Helen of Troy.
None of the guys seemed to know about Helen of Troy as they glanced confused faces.
Lexi: Her beauty brought on the Trojan War?
Duck: Puh-lease, this isn't about your beauty but about your Ballistic Bunny Blast. But I do agree you deserve the blame.
Rosie: Wait! I'm the one gave Melvin the idea to shrink our planet in the first place. The blame should go to me.
Duck: Ok, you deserve the blame!
Rev: Nope! I'm the one who hacked into Tech's computer in the first place, which makes me the one to blame.
Duck: Right! You deserve the blame!
Tech: But I created the weapons system program. If anyone's to blame, it's me.
Duck: (teleports on Tech's lap) I agree.
He quacked back to Lexi and Rev, with Tech still sitting on his chair.
Duck: I saw there's plenty of blame here for all four of you.
The mallard spun Tech around in his chair, and then quacked back over to Ace.
Duck: Hey, maybe we can ship them all out.
Ace just glared at Duck. There was no way he would ship his fellow teammates and friends, even Lexi, to the Martians.
YELLOW TRIANGLE
After twenty four hours later, Ace and Duck and Lexi kept a look out for the Martians.
Ace: Well, it's been twenty four hours and still no sign of the Martians.
Duck: I knew short stack was bluffing.
Lexi: Uh, don't think so.
The Martian warships had arrived and they began shrinking all buildings in sight. The Acmetropolis Military tried to stop them, but the warships had some kind of force field around them and they shrank the giant Trollbot Military robots or trucks. The news of the invasion went all over the news. Slam was most upset when his favorite restaurant Pizza Fest had been shrunk.
Slam: No pizza!
Tech: I'm putting up the deflector shields. I don't know how long they'll last without more power.
Duck: Uh, maybe you can plug them into a couple different outlets.
Tech: (sarcastically) You're brilliant. Why didn't I think of that?
Up in his spaceship, Melvin watched with glee as his Martian army shrank any building they came upon in Acmetropolis.
Melvin: Sergeant Sirius, pretty soon I'll have all of Acmetropolis in the palm of my hand, literally. (cackles)
Commercial break at this point.
Back at the Loonatics Tower, Tech tested out his newly larger built molecular reconstructor on a snow globe to make it grow from small to tall.
Ace: So, uh, you think this zooked up gizmo will do the job?
Tech: Well, the molecular reconstructor is my design only hitch is we're gonna need a lot more to get all of the shrunken buildings back to size. We barely have enough power to keep up the shields.
Lexi stood close by, feeling even more guilty about the trouble she caused. Rosie placed her hand on her shoulder. She too felt some guilt about the invasion. After all, she was the one who gave Melvin the idea to shrink Acmetropolis.
Rosie: I know you're feeling bad, Lexi. You're blaming yourself for this whole mess you believe you caused, when you really shouldn't.
Lexi: Oh, thanks.
Rosie: I mean, most of the blame can go to me. I was the one who gave Melvin the idea to shrink our planet. If anyone should surrender to Melvin, it's me. I've been risking my life to protect you and the guys from harm many times because you're all my closest friends. Maybe it's time I make the ultimate sacrifice, because not only will I save Acmetropolis, but it will save you the trouble of surrendering yourself to Melvin.
Lexi: (embraces Rosie) Aw, Rosie. You're the best and wisest friend any girl could ever have.
Duck: (pops up) What are you girls talking about over here?
Lexi: It's nothing, Duck!
Meanwhile, the shields' power was starting to weaken. Tech went to the keyboard and started typing.
Tech: It's the power grind! We're losing power shields! According to my calculations, Melvin's forces will break through by morning!
Ace: Well no one's turning our headquarters into a doll house!
Tech: I'll reroute the available power. I can't say how long it will hold up.
Lexi took one look up at the screen, watching the warships break through the shields, and she made her decision as she walked off, thinking about what Rosie had said.
The next morning, the Loonatics, minus Lexi, were all sleeping at the round table. Ace was the first to wake up as he yawned, stretched his arms out, and rubbed his eyes, but then he noticed there wasn't any Martian warship in sight on screen.
Ace: (gasps) Tech! Wake up! (nudges Tech) The Martian Army! Where are they?
Tech's reaction was the same as Ace, then he pushed a button to show another image on screen of the Martian Army leaving Acmetropolis.
Tech: They're retreating?
Ace: Why would they do that?
Tech: No clue.
Rev: Don't ask me.
Rosie: I wish I knew.
Slam: I don't know. I'm hungry.
Duck: (teleports on top of TV screen) I guess Martian Boy finally realized who he was up against, the greatest action hero in the galaxy!
Rosie: Duck, come down from there or you'll fall and hurt yourself!
Duck: (teleports to Rosie's side) What are you, my mother?
Ace: (looks around) Hey, uh, anyone seen Lexi?
Everyone looked around the room. Lexi wasn't here at all. They noticed a pink hologram card on the table. Tech picked it up and examined it.
Tech: This might explain. It's from Lexi.
Ace: A hologram?
Tech played the hologram and it showed a tiny image of Lexi in the center of the table.
Hologram Lexi: Hi guys. Sorry to skip out on you without a goodbye, but I knew you'd try to take me out of what I have to do. I decided to take Melvin up on his offer.
She blew a kiss, in Ace's direction, as her hologram disappeared. Ace had suddenly become distressed that Lexi had left him.
Ace: Wh-what? I mean, why would she do that?
Duck: Pfft! You knew women, when they get something into their heads, there's no stopping them. You could try, but they never listen.
Rosie: Don't make it sound so bad, Duck! Lexi's heart was probably in the right place just to save Acmetropolis from getting shrunk!
But Lexi's hologram had left a PS, for Rosie.
Hologram Lexi: Oh! Almost forgot. Thanks for your advice, Rosie. You were right. It is better to sacrifice yourself then to let all perish. I'll miss you the most.
When Lexi's hologram disappeared, Rosie felt her eyes get watery for a second. But then she noticed the glares of her teammates. Everyone was now mad at her as Rosie tried to explain herself.
Rosie: Um, I was completely taken out of context? Hehe.
Duck: The cat's out of the bag, toots! First you got Martian Boy shrinking our planet, now you got Lexi "sacrificing herself" for the good of Acmetropolis!
Rosie: But I only told her that I intended to-
But it seemed no one wanted to hear her explanation as Ace spoke to Tech.
Ace: Ok Tech, you and Rosie can use your molecular reconstructor to size things up while the rest of us of after Lexi.
As the yellow rabbit turned to leave, Tech quickly grabbed Ace's shoulder to stop him.
Tech: Unfortunately, my remote security scanner indicates that the Martians space craft is in impenetrable.
Rev: Hmm. Say, remember when Lexi said about feeling like Helen of Troy, maybe we can make her really feel that way.
Ace and Tech looked at Rev, wondering what he was talking about. Rosie had her back turned and her head hung low in shame. First she accidently gave Melvin the idea to shrink their planet, now she gave Lexi the idea to go to Melvin when it should've been her, and now the guys were angry with her for all the bad ideas she had made when she was only trying to help. What's worse is she was forced to stay at HQ with Tech while the others go rescue Lexi. But Rosie's expression gave a determined frown remembering Lexi had called her the best and wisest friend she ever had, and as her best friend she would go after Lexi and rescue her from Melvin.
RED TRIANGLE
Half an hour later, Ace and Duck and Slam and Rev had built a Trojan horse to launch into space and delivered to Melvin's space craft and were taken, roughly aboard, into the space craft. Lexi was playing interstellar checkers with Melvin on hover boards and shrinking the chess pieces. She had seen Ace and the others come out of the Trojan horse on security camera so Lexi distracted Melvin for another rematch. When the guys exited out of the Trojan horse, a pair of golden amber eyes was staring out at them while hidden inside the Trojan horse's front left hoof, and overhearing what they were saying.
Ace: Where to start looking? This bucket of bolts is huge!
Rev: And there seems to be nobody around with everything automated, no wonder Melvin the Martian is lonely, can you imagine what it would be like to be all alone, not having anyone to talk to day after day after day after day after day-
Duck: (sarcastically) Yeah. Paradise.
Ace: Alright, here's the plan. Duck and I will look for Lex, Slam you cover us and try not to eat anything.
Slam: No eat?
Ace: (stern frown) Mm-hmm.
Slam: Ok, ok.
Ace: Rev, find the ship's computer and begin the upload.
Rev: I'm already there!
In a flash, Rev took off to find the ship's computer. When Ace and Duck left, Slam stood guard by the Trojan horse. He then noticed a large hole had been cut open from the Trojan horse's left front hoof. As he inspected the damage, the devil got an electrical jolt from the back and he passed out to the floor. Rosie stood over Slam's body, then hauled him underneath the Trojan horse to keep him out of the camera's sight.
Rosie: Sorry Slam.
Back on Earth at the Loonatics Tower, Tech spotted the Martian ships coming back to Acmetropolis.
Tech: Rosie, we got trouble! Help me raise the deflector shields and…Rosie? Where are you?
But Rosie wasn't in the same room as he was in. The coyote in green discovered a note on the table. It was from Rosie. Tech's heart fell as he read her letter.
"Tech, by the time you receive this letter, you'll realize I'm not in headquarters anymore. You and the guys know I'm the one to blame for Lexi's departure. So I've snuck inside the Trojan horse to go to Melvin's space craft and find Lexi. I only told Lexi that I intended surrender myself to Melvin to protect Lexi and Acmetropolis because it was me who gave Melvin the idea to shrink our planet. That's why she called me her best friend, and best friends can't desert one another when they're in trouble. I'll be fine. Signed Rosie."
Tech: (distressed) Oh no. No! She can't be gone!
But when he checked the security footage throughout headquarters, he realized it was true. Rosie had gone to save Lexi. Tech now felt guilty for being mad at Rosie earlier.
Tech: Oh Rosie, why didn't I listen to your explanation?
Back on Melvin's space craft, Rosie quietly crawled up on the ceiling with her super feline agility as she followed Ace and Duck while they searched throughout the ship for Lexi.
Duck: We'll never find Lexi. I say we cut our losses and go home. We can divide up our stuff and call it a day. There's a sequent jacket I had my eye on.
Ace: Duck!
Duck: What? You can have first pick.
Ace: (eyes glance at ceiling) You can come down now, Rosie.
Realizing that she had been caught, Rosie jumped down from the ceiling and landed on all fours to the floor, surprising Duck.
Duck: Aaaah! What are you doing here!?
Rosie: I snuck in by Trojan horse when you weren't looking. How did you know I was here?
Ace: I saw your eyes peering out from inside the horse's leg. You cats need to be careful not to let your prey see your eyes.
Rosie: Right…anyway, Lexi is my best friend and I know it's my fault she surrendered herself to Melvin-
Ace: Eh, we'll talk about this later.
But they eventually found Lexi still playing interstellar checkers with Melvin.
Melvin: Your primitive bunny brain, Lexi, is not match for my superior Martian mind.
Just then, Ace's wrist communicator beeped. He and Duck got down for cover behind the railing as Ace communicated with Tech.
Ace: What's up, Tech?
Tech: Rosie's not at HQ! She left a note explaining that she had snuck into your Trojan horse and is probably searching the space craft for Lexi!
Ace: We already know, Tech. We found her. Anything else?
Tech: The Martians double-crossed us. The warships are back.
As the Martian warships started shrinking the buildings in Acmetropolis, Lexi shrunk a piece at the checkerboard.
Tech: The weird thing is the pattern of city parts being miniaturized kind of looks like a checker board.
As Ace looked at the checkerboard, he noticed a pattern in how interstellar checkers is being played and how the city is being shrunk.
Ace: Checkerboard, huh? You might wanna cover quadrant 8-C.
So Tech put up a shield at the place where Ace mentioned, and the shield protected the building from being shrunk.
Tech: Hey, it worked!
Ace: Now cover 4-G and king me!
Tech: What?
Ace: Just do it.
Tech did as he was told, and another building was shielded from being shrunk.
Tech: Right again? How'd you know?
Ace: Let's just say that space shrimp doesn't exactly play by the rules.
Commercial break at this point.
Lexi: Isn't there some other game you wanna play?
Melvin: No, interstellar checkers is even more fun that tic tac toe.
Lexi: Oh! Here's a thought, if your gonna play checkers, learn the game!
Sirius came over to Melvin, uttering strange beeping noises.
Melvin: Someone brought me a gift? Oh goody! I usually don't receive many gifts this deep in space. (Sirius beeps) There's a note?
The robot dog printed out the note for Melvin to read.
Melvin: "Please accept this gift with our apologies. Your friends and not your mortal enemies, the Loonatics." (chuckles) How nice. (Sirius beeps) Yes, I bet it's one of those puzzle games that you take apart and can never put back together. Oooh, I love puzzle games! Come along, Sirius!
When Melvin and Sirius left, Duck quacked himself right behind Lexi.
Duck: Surprise!
Lexi gave a startled gasp as Rosie and Ace, who gave Lexi a quick hug, when they arrived.
Ace: Thank goodness your ok, Lex!
Rosie: (hugs Lexi) I'm so glad to see you! I was so worried!
Lexi: Whoa! Easy on the hugs, you two.
Duck: I organized a rescue mission to save you!
Lexi: Right, was that before or after you planned to divide up my things?
Duck: Uhhh…
Lexi: Super hearing? Remember?
Duck: Hey, you'd had to have a warrant to use those things.
Lexi: Look guys, I appreciate you coming, but I can't leave. I made a deal to save Acmetropolis.
Ace: Well your little playmate already broke that deal. He somehow rigged the checkerboard to his weapons system. Every time you make a move, a part of Acmetropolis is zapped…toy size!
Lexi: What!? You mean I'm destroying stuff by accident again!?
Duck: Old habits die hard.
Ace: Time to jet!
PINK TRIANGLE
Rev was at the Martian ship's computer and contacted Tech, who told Rev to locate the primary energy processor and futon laser back to HQ so he could recharge the reconstructor to save all of Acmetropolis. Rev did it all in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, Ace and Lexi and Duck and Rosie were looking out through the window to the shuttle hangar where the Trojan horse was kept with Slam.
Lexi: Ace, we got problems. Look!
Slam pointed at the damaged booster rockets from the horse's back feet.
Ace: The booster rockets must've been damaged when we were brought aboard. We'll never get lift off.
Lexi: Then we'll just have to boost one of Melvin's shuttles.
Ace: (through com.) Rev, you might us right at the doc bay right…(Rev appears) away.
Rev: Energy uploaded to Acmetropolis is under way and will be completed eight minutes, or maybe nine minutes depending on the solar winds, but my guess would be eight minutes, but to be safe I would say nine minutes.
Ace: Eh, why don't you tell me on the way? You know how I love those long, rambling stories.
Rev: (notices Rosie) What are you doing here!? You should be at HQ with Tech!
Rosie: Listen, I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused, but I only told Lexi that I intended to surrender myself to Melvin to keep her and Acmetropolis safe because I was the one who gave Melvin the idea to shrink Acmetropolis in the first place. So I snuck onboard the Trojan horse so I can rescue Lexi myself and make it up to you guys.
Ace: But, why didn't you say anything before?
Rosie: (frowns) You never gave me a chance to explain.
Lexi seemed to take Rosie's side as she too glared at the boys, all now feeling guilty for ignoring Rosie when they should've listened to her.
Ace: Oh...well…uh…sorry, kid.
Rev and Duck looked sorrowfully at the jaguar while Slam grunted "Sorry."
Rosie: It's alright, guys. Now let's get out of here before Melvin finds out we're here.
As everyone proceeded to the shuttle hangar, Sirius spotted them on camera and sounded the alarm. Red lasers shot out from the walls, but Ace quickly defended his teammates with his Guardian Strike Sword, reflecting the laser blasts back at where they came from, although one of the lasers blasts burnt Duck on the tail as he and the others made their getaway. When the lasers stopped shooting, Ace suddenly came face to face with Melvin, who was flying on hover shoes, and holding a PU 36 explosive space modulator. So Ace used the same trick his ancestor used to outsmart Melvin and let him get blown up by his own explosive. Melvin's helmet tattered helmet bounced into the shuttle hangar and towards the Trojan horse.
Ace: C'mon guys, we gotta get going while there's still some going!
They all boarded one of Melvin's space shuttles and launched out of the Martian space craft back to Earth (Rosie sat next to Duck). Ace contacted with Tech on the way back.
Ace: So Tech, what's the news? Did the download work?
Tech: Perfectly! I should have no problem restoring all of Acmetropolis back to normal.
With his molecular reconstructor fully charged and sitting on top of the green globe, Tech increased each and every building in all of Acmetropolis back to its normal size. When the space shuttle arrived back to HQ and the gang met up with Tech, he gave a scolding frown at Rosie for her sneaking off to save Lexi.
Rosie: I know, I'm sorry I left you, but I had to save Lexi-
Tech: Because she's your best friend, I understand. But please don't do that again.
His expression had changed from a mad one to a happy yet relieved face. Rosie smiled, knowing that Tech had read her letter and understood her feelings.
But back on Melvin's space craft, Melvin was angry and insulted by his failure.
Melvin: You may think you've gotten away, but this time I'm really going to blow up Acmetropolis!
He pressed a button on a remote control, and hundreds of missiles came hurling towards Acmetropolis. The Loonatics saw the missiles coming on the screen above them.
Ace: (gasps) Missiles! And they're heading straight towards Acmetropolis!
Rev: There's something we can and I know just who can do it, and that would be you Lexi, by using your Ballistic Bunny Blast to clobber those missiles just like you clobbered Melvin's space craft!
Lexi: Yeah! If I did once by accident, well twice, I can do it this time on purpose!
Duck: What!? You're leaving the fate of our planet in the hands of some joystick juggler!?
Rosie: Lexi can handle it, Duck! I know she can! Pretend like you're playing a video game like before, Lexi!
Lexi: Thanks Rosie.
Ace: You go, bunny. Kick some Martian butt!
Lexi approached the halo screens of the automated weapons system and started using her special "Ballistic Bunny Blast" move on the automated weapons system to destroy the missiles.
Rev: What do you think she calls that move, Ace?
Ace: Let me guess, the Ballistic Bunny Blast!
One by one, the missiles were destroyed by the laser blasts sent by Lexi from HQ.
Lexi: Game's almost over. Just one more target to take care of.
In his space craft, Melvin was wondering why the planet wasn't destroyed yet, and he said his ancestor's famous line.
Melvin: Where's the kaboom!? There was supposed to be a world shattering kaboom!
At HQ, Lexi targeted Melvin's space craft with one word.
Lexi: Checkmate.
And Melvin's computer detected a laser blast that targeted the ship.
Melvin: Oh dear. I hate it when this happens.
The laser blast blew up Melvin's space craft, while Melvin got away, unharmed, on his chariot with Sirius taking the lead. At the Loonatics' HQ, everyone cheered for Lexi for saving Acmetropolis and getting rid of Melvin the Martian. Lexi wiped her forehead in relief. Ace gave Lexi a thumbs up while Rev placed his hand on her shoulder, smiling. Rosie threw her arms around Lexi from behind, giving her a big hug.
Duck: Yeah, I knew she could do it all along.
ORANGE TRIANGLE
At Tech's lab/bedroom, everyone watched as Tech made Rev promise to never ever touch or play with his stuff again.
Rev: I swear I'll never ever tamper with any of your inventions again, never ever again, never. Even with something as tempting as…saaaay…what's this do?
The red roadrunner spotted a cord with a blinking red button and was tempted to pull it.
Tech: PLEASE, keep your hands off my stuff!
But when Rev yanked the cord, a cage came down from nowhere and trapped Rev inside it.
Rosie: (arms folded crossly) Rev, what did we say about touching Tech's things?
Duck: Heh! And they say I'm the troublemaker.
Meanwhile up in outer space, Melvin was still riding in his chariot with Sirius driving him, into a darkened part of space.
Melvin: Well, back to the old drawing board. Oh my! It's awfully dark out here. Maybe I should've kept a few stars around for a night light.
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Joe Alaskey - Melvin Martian
