Chapter 7

Over a billion aliens burst into the room.

They all surrounded Calvin and Hobbes.

Calvin searched their faces.

YIKES!

It looked like they hadn't come to wish him happy birthday.

One of the aliens opened it's slimy mouth and said; "you have taunted us enough Earth Potentate! You have ruined all our plans since the beginning! NOW YOU WILL PAY!"

Hobbes, who had had enough of the aliens, backed away while growling a warning to them.

The aliens ignored him. They were closing in on Calvin.

Calvin looked around frantically.

His eyes fell on a small device on the desk. A label with "brain blast" was spread across it.

Calvin dived for it.

The aliens dived for Calvin.

Hobbes stood in the middle of the room, unsure of what to do.

Billions of tentacles wrapped around Calvin as Calvin grabbed the device, and pulled the trigger.

BOOM!

All the aliens were shot backward.

Hobbes covered his face as a blast of blinding light filled the room.

Calvin stood up, looking energized.

He turned to Hobbes.

"That was cool." he said to the tiger.

Hobbes wasn't looking at Calvin. He was looking at the shadowy figures that were emerging from the wreckage.

It wasn't Galixoid and Nebular.

It wasn't any of the aliens.

It wasn't John Chill either.

"DON'T WORRY, GALIXOID!" Nebular screamed. "I WILL SAVE YOU! NEVER FEAR! I AM HERE!"

"Nebular?" Galixoid said. " they caught you too."

Nebular stared out of his cell as if thinking about what Galixoid had said.

"Now then," said the chief alien. "you will pay dearly for ruining our plans."

Nebular's eyes bulged. "NO!" He exclaimed.

"YES!" The alien howled.

"NO!" Nebular cried.

"YES!" the alien screeched.

"We'll never give you our food!" Nebular screamed.

The alien looked shocked.

"Huh?" he asked.

"NEVER! NEVER!" yelled Nebular. "DO YOUR WORST!"

the alien turned to the alien next to him. "Well he just ruined the drama." he said.

Just then, loud banging sounds echoed out the door.

The aliens turned.

"How long has that door been glowing?" one of them asked.

"MAN!" screamed Calvin's voice. "YOU GUYS NOTICE NOTHING! I HAD TO BANG ON THE DUMB DOOR!"

Just then the door exploded.

Hobbes stepped into the doorway. He crossed his arms and grinned.

"Prepare yourself." he said. "In thought Calvin was annoying..."

he pointed down at FOUR Calvins! Yes, it was Tracer Bullet, Stupendous man and Spaceman Spiff!

"well try walking down a hall with four of them!" he finished.

Calvin grinned. "Heros, detectives, spacemen and tigers!" he said. "The enemy has been spotted! Release attack one!"

Hobbes, Stupendous man and Spiff dove right into the middle of the aliens.

Calvin stood in the doorway, cheering them on.

"GO SPIFF GO! GREAT LEAP TO THE FRONT HOBBES! LOOK OUT STUPENDOUS MAN, THERE'S ONE BEHIND YOU!"

It was then that Calvin noticed Tracer Bullet standing next to him.

"Why aren't you fighting?" he asked the detective.

"Gun's not loaded." he said simply.

Calvin turned back to the fight. "CERTAIN UNNAMED PARTIES HERE ARE TOTAL IDIOTS, GUYS! IGNORE THEM, AND CONTINUE!"

"Quit mocking me!" Tracer yelled.

"IDIOTS," yelled Calvin turning back to Tracer. "WHO DON'T LOAD THEIR GUNS BEFORE TERRIBLE FIGHTS!"

"I still have fists, ya know!" Tracer shot back.

"Yeah well, you're just ugly!" Calvin yelled.

Tracer jumped on top of Calvin, and began rolling across the floor.

Hobbes, the two Calvins, and the aliens watched the fight with much entertainment.

"Pass the popcorn, please." Hobbes said to one of the aliens who handed him a bag of popcorn.

Just then, the movie stopped, and a news guy came on screen. "We are facing technical difficulties with Calvin and Hobbes: the movie." he said. "Please stand by."

(7 hours later)

"I'm sure Calvin and Tracer are near a breakthrough." the news guy said, drumming his fingers.

(15 hours later)

"any second now." said the news guy.

(29 hours later)

"HOW LONG IS THIS STUPID MOVIE!" The news guy yelled.

(47 hours later)

"AAAAAAA!" the news guy screamed as he went insane and began tearing out his hair.

(97 hours later)

"pass the popcorn, please." Calvin said to Hobbes, while watching the news guy go insane.

WE ARE FACING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH OUR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. PLEASE STAND BY, AND DON'T GO INSANE. YES THE NEWS GUY WAS FIRED, NOW STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS, AND GO SOAK YOUR HEAD YOU BIG BABY!

(Disregard that last statement.)

The aliens screamed, unable to handle any more of Calvin's army.

They all raced for the Emergency Exit, and tumbled off the spaceship.

Calvin turned to Hobbes.

"Ya did it buddy!" Calvin exclaimed.

Just then a familiar Hacksaw voice cut through the moment of pride and celebration.

"AT LAST! I HAVE YOU JUST WHERE I WANT YOU!"

Calvin spun around.

His eyes bulged.

"YOU!" he exclaimed. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS YOU!"

A tall figure in the shadows threw his head back, and laughed wildly.

"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Oh yeah? Well that's too bad! 'Cause you didn't!"

The tall figure stepped into the clearing.

You'll never guess who he was.

Here's a hint: he wore sunglasses, had black hair, sharp teeth, dog tags, and a T-shirt with Camp Pine written on it.

If you guessed John Howard Chill, then you're right on the money.
