Rupert and Earl both slipped on Jet packs.
They waited for the crew to finish struggling with the straps, and the packs, and actually putting them on.
After each alien had a jet pack on, Rupert and Earl pushed a button on their suits.
Both of them morphed into their human forms.
Then Rupert and Earl slipped on a pair of red gloves.
The crew did the same.
Rupert and Earl put their ray guns in their suits.
The crew did the same.
Rupert and Earl stocked up on several deadly weapons.
The crew did too.
After they were all stocked up, and as deadly as ever, Rupert and Earl both leaped off the ship.
The crew followed.
Rupert and Earl pushed the buttons on their jet packs and immediately halted their fall.
The aliens tried to do the same, but ended up flying out of control in all directions.
When Earl finally told his lunatic crew how to steer, they started to move in to Calvin's house.
Calvin was inside, grumbling up a storm, and sweeping the floor.
"I can't believe that Mom is forcing me to do this! What am I? Her personal slave?"
"Well, at least the house is getting clean." Hobbes said.
"Big deal!" Calvin yelled. "I don't have time for this! I need to go check on the Shrink Ray!"
Calvin went storming up the stairs.
Meanwhile, Rupert, Earl and the crew were all gathered around Calvin's door.
"Alright." Rupert said. "We're going to have to cause a distraction while we move into the house. We're going to need someone trained and skilled in spy work."
There was a pause.
"Or in this case, anybody out of the crowd." Earl said.
Rupert grabbed Dave.
"You'll do quite nicely." Rupert said. "Just go in there, and make sure nobody is around."
Dave did a salute.
"CAN DO, BOSS!" He yelled.
He did some kind of victory screech, and exploded into the house.
Rupert and Earl watched.
"What have we done?" Earl asked.
Dave looked around in all directions, then tiptoed past Hobbes in the kitchen.
He crept up the stairs towards the attic.
He peeked into the attic and spotted Calvin.
He was fooling around with the Shrink Ray.
Dave hid behind some boxes.
Calvin examined the shrinker, proclaimed it not stolen, then walked out of the attic.
When he was gone, Dave peeked out from behind the box.
He stared at the shrink ray.
It was shiny.
You know the rest.
Dave ran up to the ray and picked it up.
"COOL!" He exclaimed.
He pushed the button on the microphone.
The neck extended outward, and started glowing.
"AWESOME!" He screamed.
He hit the button again.
ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
All at once, a box in front of him vanished in a flash of red light.
Dave's eyes grew wide.
"WOAH!" He yelled. "THE SMALL RAY!"
He pushed the button, again.
zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
The box returned.
"COOL!" he screamed.
He pushed the button one more time.
The ray shot out.
Except this time, it bounced off a mirror, bounced off some glass in a picture frame, then went out the window with a CRASH!
Dave looked outside, and watched the blast of shrink ray bounce all over the place outside.
"Oops." He muttered.
He stared down at the Shrink Ray.
He stared outside at the ray bouncing off windows.
There was a moment of silence.
Then he shrugged, and decided, "Ah, it probably wont do much harm"
Uh huh.
Outside, Rupert and Earl were tapping their feet, and waiting impatiently.
"What is taking him so long!" Earl demanded.
"Forget Dave." Rupert said. "We're going in now."
There was a blast of electricity, and Rupert, Earl, and the crew burst into the house.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!
Hobbes' head shot up.
He stared at Rupert. He stared at Earl. He stared at the alien crew.
There was a long moment of silence.
"Boo." Rupert said.
Hobbes suddenly disappeared.
No kidding, after Rupert said "Boo", Hobbes suddenly evaporated in thin air.
ZOOM!
He vanished.
The aliens laughed.
Calvin was coming down the stairs when Hobbes suddenly appeared in front of him.
Took Calvin by surprise.
He collapsed onto the stairs, and screamed, "HOW ON EARTH DO YOU DO THAT!"
Hobbes began jabbing his finger at the door, and he was babbling.
Calvin stared at him.
He stared at the door.
His eyes burst open.
Rupert, Earl and Earl's crew began to come towards the stairs, grinning, evilly.
"Hello, Earth Potentate." Rupert growled.
"Goodbye, Rupert." Calvin said.
Calvin and Hobbes began to back up.
The backed into something big.
They turned around and saw the grinning face of Dave the alien.
"YAAAAAAAAAH!"
There was an explosion of stairs, and a scream.
Calvin and Hobbes leaped off the stairs, and exploded down to the basement.
The aliens watched.
Rupert turned to Dave.
"Did you get the device?" He asked.
Dave blinked.
He looked behind him to see if Rupert was talking to someone else.
When he saw no one, he turned back to Rupert.
"No?" He guessed.
Rupert and Earl stared at him,
"What do you mean no?" Earl demanded.
"Well, I didn't get the device."
"YOU MORON!" Rupert and Earl screamed.
Dave started scratching his chin, nervously.
Rupert and Earl glared at him.
"Well we better go up and get it." Earl muttered.
They started up the stairs until Calvin burst out the door, and screamed, "AND FURTHERMORE, YOUR MOTHERS ALL WORE ARMY BOOTS!"
And with that, he slammed the door.
Rupert, Earl, and the crew all stared at the door.
Earl turned to Rupert.
"Correction." He said. "We better go down, and destroy Calvin."
The aliens ran off the stairs, and approached the door with deadly expressions.
Dave walked up to the door first, and knocked.
When nobody answered, he turned to the crowd and said, "Nobody's home."
Seconds past as Rupert and Earl stared into the emptiness of Dave's eyes.
Then, Earl shoved him out of the way, and kicked the door open.
SLAM!
The aliens all swarmed into the basement.
One alien named Zack was about to follow, when he noticed a small switch next to the basement door.
He didn't know what it did, so he flipped it.
Click.
CRASH! BONK! WHAM! SMACK! WALLOP! WHACK! SHATTER! SMASH! BOOM! THWACK! BANG!
Hmmm.
The alleged switch appeared to be the light switch for the basement.
And all at once, we had a whole bunch of aliens tripping on the stairs, and collapsing into each other.
"ZACK!" Screamed Rupert and Earl from the dark depths of the basement.
Oopsies.
Zack gulped, and ran to the pile of aliens at the bottom of the stairs.
Rupert and Earl spent the next few minutes screaming and yelling at Zack, then they decided to return to the task of destroying Calvin.
Calvin and Hobbes were huddled in the corner of the basement.
The two exchanged glances of sheer terror.
"Well, this is the end, Hobbes." Calvin sighed.
"It appears to be like that."
"But we must take our downfall, and face it like men!"
"Yeah right."
"It'll be tough, Hobbes,"
"Yeah, that's for sure."
"We'll have to be brave, Hobbes. And if you run out on me again, you little weenie, I'll... I don't know what I'll do, but you'll be the first to find out!"
"Yep."
The aliens were getting closer.
Their yellow compound eyes were glowing in the darkness.
A wide evil grin spread across Rupert's face.
"Say farewell, Earth Potentate."
Rupert pulled his ray gun out of his pocket.
Suddenly, Calvin leaped up, and dove from the way, as Rupert shot a blast at him.
Hobbes pushed himself into the very back of the corner, and became invisible.
Rupert and Earl started firing ray gun blasts in all directions, attempting to hit Calvin.
Calvin ducked and dodged all of them, and was able to start running up the stairs.
"Oh no you don't!" Rupert screamed.
Rupert rushed up the stairs, and grabbed Calvin.
Earl rushed up the stairs, and grabbed Rupert.
The entire alien crew leaped onto Earl.
Hobbes pounced through the air, and landed right into the middle of the alien crew.
Calvin struggled against the weight on him, and attempted to get to the door.
HUH!
Suddenly, the Shrink Ray blast that Dave had shot outside came back into the house.
It bounced off the mirror in the livingroom, ricocheted off of the computer screen in the next room, and rebounded off of the window in the kitchen.
Calvin looked up in time to see the blast screaming towards him.
"Oh for crying out loud." Calvin muttered.
ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
