"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," Calvin, Hobbes, Andy, Sherman, Galaxoid, Nebular, and Bob all screamed.

Socrates didn't scream, because he knew that the ships were lava proof.

How? I have no idea.

Ask Socrates.

While Bob, Galaxoid and Nebular screamed their heads off in the ship he was in, Socrates flipped through an alien magazine to an article about the stupid earthlings. Socrates then spent the next few minutes laughing his head off about how aliens were making fun of Earth.

Calvin was the first to open his eyes and look out at the red ocean surrounding him.

A wide grin spread across his face.

"Hey, Hobbes! LOOK!"

Hobbes' eyes popped open, and he stopped screaming.

He cut his eyes from side to side.

Sherman and Andy stopped screaming.

There was a moment of silence.

Calvin turned to Hobbes.

"Well, I guess we won't have to worry about volcanoes again, will we?" he said.

Hobbes stared at the lunatic in front of him, trying to think of what to say to him.

He decided to say nothing.

Hobbes walked over to the radio, pushed the button, and tried to contact Galixoid and Nebular.

"GALAXOID! NEBULAR! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!"

For a second there was static, and then the voice of an alien came onto the radio.

"Yes, I'm alright. But my name's not Galaxoid, Nebular. It's Dave."

Hobbes blinked several times.

He had just made contact with Rupert's UFO by mistake.

"Uh," Hobbes said. "I think I have the wrong number. Can you direct me to Galaxoid and Nebular's ship?"

Over the radio, Dave said, "Oh sure! What are enemies for?"

Then, the voice of three frustrated villains rang out.

"YOU MORON!"

"DON'T RECONNECT THEM!"

"SOMEONE GRAB HIM!"

"YOU IDIOTS!"

There was a click, and Galaxoid's voice came on.

"Hello? Hello? Anyone there?"

"Galaxoid?"

"Yes?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"WE JUST PLUNGED INTO A GIANT LAVA OCEAN!" Hobbes screamed.

"Oh, yeah. Almost forgot about that."

Calvin and Hobbes exchanged glances.

Andy and Sherman did too.

"Why?" Hobbes asked.

"We were paying so much attention to Socrates' lunatic laugh," Nebular said.

At this, Socrates burst out in insane laughter.

Hobbes' eyes squeezed shut.

"Listen," he said. "Rupert, Earl, and Retro are under the lava with us! I just got in contact with the ship by mistake! We have to come up with some kind of idea for getting out of here!"

"What are we going to do?" Bob asked.

Hobbes scratched his chin and thought.

"Alright, I have something," he said. "One of us can lure Rupert's UFO away into some dark area in the lava, and then we'll escape before they know what to do."

"Yeah," Socrates said, over the radio. "We might have to beat that giant ugly lava eel that's staring at us first."

There was the moment of silence, then the sound of horrified screaming came out over the radio.

Then, the radio went dead.

Calvin blinked.

"Well of all the bad luck!" he grumbled. "Socrates was on the ship, but Sherman wasn't."

Sherman glared at him.

Hobbes' eyes nearly bugged out of his head.

"GALAXOID! NEBULAR! BOB! SOCRATES! DOES ANYONE HEAR ME!"

"Yes, I hear you," said Dave from over the radio. "But my name's not Galixoidnebularbobsocrates."

Hobbes blinked.

He just made contact with Rupert's spaceship again.

Darn.

"Uh, I think I got the wrong number again. Could you redirect me to Galaxoid and Nebular's ship, again?"

"Sure!"

Suddenly, the sounds of screaming and yelling sounded over the radio, there was a loud shove and a thump, and the voice of Rupert and Retro came onto the radio.

"Listen, Bucko!" Rupert screamed at him. "First! Stop taking unfair advantages over a dunce!"

"SECOND!" Retro yelled. "You're not making any smart plans with those aliens!"

"THIRD!" Rupert hollered. "That lava eel is inescapable. They're electrified, and have huge jaws. That ship is probably already destroyed!"

Silence greeted these words.

"Hello?" Earl asked. "Anyone home!"

Hobbes turned the radio off.

Calvin blinked.

"Well, we can be sure that Galaxoid and Nebular are alright," he said.

"Why?" Hobbes asked.

"Because this movie is PG. Nobody dies."

"Ah."

"SCREEEEEECH!"

Calvin, Hobbes, Andy, and Sherman's heads all shot up.

There was a huge pair of bloodshot eyes staring right into the windshield.

There was a moment of silence.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Calvin and Hobbes both made a dive for the steering wheel.

ZOOM!

The ship made a blast backwards, and it crashed into a very big spaceship containing aliens and one demented Three Stooges clone.

Hooks shot out of the ship and grabbed Sherman's ship.

"Gotchya now!" Rupert grinned.

Hobbes pushed the shield button.

The red dome appeared around the ship, and cut all the hooks in half.

ZOOOM!

The ship roared forward, again, and this time crashed into another spaceship.

"See?" Calvin said. "They're fine."

"Yep," Socrates grinned. "Thank goodness for electric proof UFOs."

Suddenly, a laser shot past Sherman's ship.

Ever see lasers being fired under lava?

Very weird.

"LET'S GET OUT OF THIS LAVA OCEAN!" Hobbes screamed.

Hobbes and Galaxoid both rammed their steering wheels forward, and blasted forward.

They zoomed past Rupert's ship, and began flying towards the surface.

SPLISH!

Lava went flying everywhere, as the two ships exploded out of the ocean, followed shortly by Rupert's UFO.

The three ships continued flying upward.

Suddenly, they hit the blood red Zokian clouds, and there was, all of a sudden, blasts of red clouds all around them.

"HEY!" Rupert screamed, as Galaxoid and Hobbes disappeared behind the clouds.

Shortly after that, the three ships were high above Zok. Now in space.

Rupert's ship was now out of sight.

And now, the two good ships were floating in front of a huge asteroid that was orbiting Zok.

"Hey!" Galixoid yelled. "That's one of Zok's moons! Creak!"

"Creak?" Socrates asked. "What a stupid name for a moon."

"Well, the other two are called Zing-a-Ling and Bomb," Nebular said.

"Now what are we going to do?" Calvin asked.

"Land on the moon," Hobbes said.

"Why?" Calvin asked.

"Because Rupert's space ship is coming," Hobbes said.

ZOOM!

ZOOM!

Both ships rocketed towards Creak.

Rupert's spaceship passed by Creak without noticing them.

The two ships landed on the black moon.

"Now what?"

Socrates leaped from his chair.

"I want to explore the moon! I want to explore the moon!" he yelled.

He leaped off of the spaceship and landed on the moon.

Black dust went everywhere as he landed.

"Huh," Socrates observed. "Soft…COUGH! COUGH!…soil here."

Soon after Socrates came out, Calvin, Hobbes, and everyone else came out of their ships.

"Now what do we do?" Calvin asked. "We can't hide from Retro and Rupert forever."

There was a moment of silence.

"I got nothing," Galaxoid said.

"Nope," said Nebular.

"Zilch," Sherman said.

"Nadda," said Andy.

"OK. Now we're doomed," Hobbes said.

"Unless we miraculously come up with a plan in the next chapter," Calvin said.

"Let the planning begin," Socrates declared, crossing his arms.
