I only own the aliens. And I guess the song
As the clones punched through the car, Calvin turned to Hobbes.
"This is it. This is how we're gonna die." Hobbes stammered.
Calvin spied something in the back. "So you think."
Before Hobbes could ask about the look on Calvin's face, the Dad clone punched through the roof and nearly grabbed his neck.
Calvin jumped into the back and grabbed out the guitar. Hobbes stared in disbelief. "What is that doing in here?" Hobbes asked.
"You don't wanna know!" Calvin stated.
Calvin quickly stood up in the back seat and began stringing random notes.
"Are you ready to fight with us? Do you really know who we are?"
Hobbes was shocked. It actually sounded good.
You still want to best the two of us? It's your funeral.
As Hobbes and the clones stared, Calvin waved his hand in the air. All of a sudden, lightning began striking the clones at random.
"The world ain't ready for us, 'n you aren't either."
"How are you doing this?" Hobbes yelled as the Dad clone was sent flying by a lightning bolt.
"Well, get ready for devastation, 'cause we're CALVIN AND HOBBES!"
At that moment dozens of lightning bolts struck. Unfortunately, Calvin's aim was a bit off and…
"This can't be good," Calvin said as he stared at his guitar that'd been fried by the lighting.
"For a minute there, I thought that we might survive." Hobbes said as he began to sob.
Luckily for those two, an alien pod chose that time to crash into them. As Calvin and Hobbes screamed in shock, the pod opened up, revealing Lock, Palminetti, and a quivering Gassendi.
"Last time I let you drive." Palminetti complained.
"Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga. Are we still alive?" Gassendi stammered.
"So what if I messed up the landing slightly? If we'd have let you drive, the potent would've been killed a dozen times by now."
From inside the car, Hobbes turned to Calvin. "This isn't our day." Hobbes groaned.
"It's better then fighting the entire city." Calvin stated.
"Let's just do this already!" Lock snapped.
Gassendi, with a look of reluctance, walked over to one of the clones and stabbed it with a metallic looking needle. Suddenly, the needle transformed into a pedestal with a keyboard on top.
"Wow…" Calvin said.
Gassendi then started typing something. All of a sudden, all of the clones rose into the air and disappeared into a bright light.
"Now. Let's just get the tiger and leave." Gassendi said.
"WHAT?" Hobbes screamed.
The three all turned to the flipped over car.
"You are an idiot." Calvin whispered.
The three aliens surrounded the car. "Get him!" Lock cried.
Palminetti and Gassendi ran around to the opposite side of the car as Lock ran straight for Hobbes in the driver seat. As Lock bent down to open the car door, Hobbes screamed and burst through the door, making the door slam into Lock's face. As Lock wandered around dazed, Calvin got the idea. He burst out the back door, sending the damaged door off the hinges and into Lock's face.
"Ow!" Lock said as he fell to the ground. He clutched his face and looked at Gassendi and Palminetti, who'd been standing around doing nothing. "Go get him you clowns!"
Gassendi instantly began running as Palminetti stood still. "You can't order me around." Palminetti snapped.
Lock roared in anger. He grabbed the car door and began chasing after the strategist.
As Lock and Palminetti ran around, Calvin and Hobbes continued to run away from Gassendi.
"I really regret not running out of town the second that I was first beaten up." Hobbes said in between breaths.
"Oh come on. You wouldn't have done that!" Calvin replied.
"Yeah, I would've. I even bought the bus ticket."
Calvin didn't have time for this. He looked back and saw Gassendi getting closer by the second. He suddenly saw a group of familiar houses.
"Hobbes, we're back in our neighbourhood." Calvin pointed out.
"Wow. No wonder I'm so tired." Hobbes stated.
"Whoa!" Calvin said as he stopped to see his own house in pieces. He gulped and ran for the house. Hobbes stopped as he watched his friend run for his destroyed home.
"What are you doing?" Hobbes asked as he began running after his friend.
"I'm going to see if any of my inventions survived." Calvin said simply.
Hobbes instantly turned away. "I'll see you in the next city. I hope."
But Hobbes wasn't able to escape before being jumped on by Gassendi.
"I've… got… you…" Gassendi gasped breathlessly as he attempted to pin Hobbes to the ground. However, instead of staying down, Hobbes effortlessly stood up and shook off the exhausted alien. And once Gassendi hit the ground, he stayed down
"Okay, that was pointless." Hobbes said before the alien pod flew into sight. The two both groaned. Couldn't things just improve for once?"
The pod landed near-by, and the door opened, revealing Lock and a heavily bruised Palminetti.
"Go get him." Lock ordered.
"I don't take orders from you." Palminetti retorted. However Palminetti changed his mind as Lock mysteriously brought out the car door. Palminetti charged after Hobbes before Calvin ran in and tackled him away.
Calvin stood up and shook off the dust. "Tackled by a six year old. You don't see that everyday."
"You caught me off guard. In a decent story, you wouldn't have been able to manage that." Palminetti rambled as he stood up. I think you can guess what happened next.
"Idiot." Calvin said as he watched lightning strike the strategist.
"Do I have to do everything myself?" Lock stated as he ran for the two. Unfortunately, he predictably crashed into the wall of his pod.
"I guess there isn't intelligent life in outer space after all." Hobbes stated as Lock stumbled around..
"You forget Galaxoid and Nebular." Calvin pointed out.
"I stand by my statement." Hobbes said.
"You will pay." Lock screamed as he managed to get out of the pod and jump after our heroes.
Somewhere above, a small cargo plane was flying a delivery to some guy far away. I don't know how they didn't notice the fact that one of the houses had been completely demolished, but that is not important. What is important is the fact that their cargo hold was about to lose it's compartment door.
Calvin and Hobbes screamed as Lock jumped after them. They had for some reason forgotten to run away.
Luckily for them something came falling out of the air. The above-mentioned cargo hold door. Before Lock could reach them, it crushed the alien commander, proving that the doors and walls that keep hitting Lock are a combination of bad luck and clumsiness.
"Someone up there must like us." Calvin said.
"That's all three." Hobbes added.
"What do we do now?"
Scar watched on the security monitor to see the defeats of his highest-ranking officers.
"This is the most humiliating thing that ever could've happened." Scar fumed.
"Popcorn?" A near-by alien said as he showed a bag of theatre popcorn.
"What are you doing?" Scar asked.
"I'm eating. Man, this is a good SpongeSid episode." The alien said.
"This is a spy monitor you idiot." Scar snapped.
"I was wondering where SpongeSid was." The alien laughed.
"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Scar screamed.
The alien complied. Although before leaving, he did say, "They could've at least included Peter the Starfish or even Squidware."
"The most pathetic looking Potent ever, and my best men can't even get him." Scar said to himself. "MEN! PREPARE ANOTHER POD! I'M GOING IN ALONE!"
"Oh! Can I come?" one of the aliens asked.
"I SAID 'ALONE', YOU IDIOT. PREPARE THE POD." Scar screamed.
"Can I come?" A different alien asked.
"NO! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET SOMETHING THROUGH YOUR HEADS?"
"Can I come?" Another one asked.
Scar came very close to killing his crew at that moment.
Calvin and Hobbes waited patiently for Lock, Gassendi, and Palminetti to wake up. They'd tied up the three by using the partially destroyed garden hose.
"ATTENTION!" Calvin yelled.
The three all woke up to see that they were tied up.
"My first question is," Calvin continued, "What happened to everyone in town?"
The three aliens stared. Lock simply said, "Why should we tell you?"
Calvin pulled out an umbrella. "Hobbes!" Calvin said as he shielded himself from the three.
Hobbes had hooked the hose up to the neighbour's water valve, seeing as how their own house had been decimated. The hose filled with water and because there were holes in the hose, water sprayed the aliens relentlessly. And since it was January…
"Cold! Cold! We give! We give!" Gassendi screamed.
"Good choice." Hobbes muttered as he turned off the water.
Palminetti sighed. "We had attempted to capture you at your gathering the other day. We'd replaced the fireworks with a device that'd capture any of the earthlings that'd spotted it. Unfortunately for us, you two missed the fireworks. So we captured the two others who'd escaped our plans, and we replaced your entire city with clones."
Calvin stared. "Why didn't you just burst in, kill everyone who tried to stop me, and grab me?"
"Because that bigmouth couldn't shut up and let my plan happen." Lock said.
"Technically, Scar is the one who wouldn't let your plan happen by letting my plan happen." Palminetti explained.
"SHUT UP!" Lock screamed.
"Anyway, they'd planned to let you trust the clones, and then they'd kidnap you when you'd least expect." Gassendi explained. "But you discovered the truth about them and they tried to reprogram the clones to capture the tiger. But they failed and the clones went insane."
"Technically we didn't fail to reprogram the clones, I failed to reprogram the clones." Palminetti said.
"SHUT UP!" Lock cried.
Calvin shook his head. What was wrong with those three?
"And then we were sent to stop the clones and capture the tiger so you would sign us the Earth." Lock finished.
"Second question. How do I free the city?" Calvin asked.
"We can't tell you." Lock said.
"Well technically, Gassendi could, seeing as how he created the device…"
"SHUT UP!" Lock screamed.
Calvin shook his head and turned to the alien he assumed was Gassendi. "C'mon Gassendi, work with me here."
"I… can't… say…" Gassendi stuttered.
"Hobbes!" Calvin said simply.
"WAIT! YOU JUST HAVE TO DESTROY THE…AUGH!" Gassendi screamed before the water turned back on.
"Oops." Hobbes said as he turned off the water again.
"The what?" Calvin asked.
"The…" Gassendi started before an alien pod landed nearby.
"You three imbeciles will not say another word. Do you understand me?" Scar ordered as he stepped out of the pod.
"Technically sir, we would have to say another word in order to answer your question." Palminetti stated.
"SHUT UP!" Calvin, Hobbes, Scar, and Lock all screamed.
"Anyway, Earth Potent. I am going to take my men and your tiger. And you won't be able to stop me." Scar said simply as he grabbed Hobbes with one of his tentacles and ripped the hose keeping his men tied up
Calvin was stunned. This couldn't happen.
"We will send Lock and a squad over to get a contract for the Earth later." Scar continued as he threw Hobbes inside the pod and tore the hose apart.
"No! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" Calvin sobbed as he ran for his friend.
Scar threw his men into the pod. Gassendi and Palminetti landed safely as Lock hit the wall and fell to the ground. "Watch me!" Scar laughed as he grabbed Calvin and threw him back.
As Scar picked up Lock and entered, Calvin stood back up and ran for the pod. Calvin ran and ran, as the pod door slowly closed.
"Noooooo!" Calvin screamed as he dived after the pod, but it was too late. The pod doors were closed and the pod had started flying away. "Come back! Come back!"
Calvin stood still as he watched the pod leave. Hobbes was gone. All those GROSS meetings were gone. Those sled rides were gone. The walks in the backyard were gone. The snowball fights were gone. Even the constant attacks were gone.
Calvin turned to the destroyed house. It wasn't over yet. He would get back Hobbes.
