Prologue:
It has been about a month that has passed & the four have gotten used to their new gadgets while rehabilitating themselves to being Monster Busters. However within that time the MBC would've gotten their first new recruit in a way that no one would've expected it to have happen.
(Open from the perspective of Alexander Gyrote Mehck; a Xeronican Vermal, who wakes up from within the Clubhouse's secret base area.)
Cathy: Guys I think he's waking up.
Alex: Ummgh. Where am I? How did I get here?
(See Cathy, Sam & Danny walk over to him, as Alex begins to tighten up in reaction.)
Sam: It's alright, we're on your side. Just remain calm & tell us who you are & how you got to Earth.
Alex: (sigh) Okay then. My name is Alexander Gyrote Mehck. I'm 16 years old back on Xeronica & knowing the location of where I am at is still Earth presumably I would be 384 years old.
(Chris comes over to them while looking up some info on Alex's race on a tablet-like device. We then see a picture of a small white bipedal lynx-like creature with a fox-like tail & cyan colored markings all over its body appear on the screen.)
Chris: It says here in the database that Vermals are known to be rather aggressive-natured creatures & have an extremely brutal style of combat. Sometimes even using their teeth & claws if they find it necessary.
Danny: But that doesn't fit his behavior at all. I mean sure he did use some of that fighting style while we were tracking down that alien in the forest but that was against the alien & not us.
(Cathy ponders for a few seconds)
Cathy: Maybe he's different from other Vermals.
(Alex looks up at them)
Alex: The Rhapsodian's right. It's in a way partially why I am here to begin with. Indeed Vermals are rather ruthless & aggressive by nature, but for me on the other hand, I'm quite the inverse. Being more calm & empathetic. This would as expected give me a bad rep among other Vermals back on my former home planet.
Sam: Former?
Alex: It's a long story.
Sam: Well we got all the time we need. You may as well tell us that story.
(Cathy then sees that Alex's arms look vastly different from each other. One of them blending in with his fur & actually being part of his body while the other being completely mechanical & somewhat elastic.)
Cathy: Say isn't that right arm of yours Rhapsodian tech? How did you managed to obtain that?
Alex: Well (Alex looks at his arm & stretches it a bit like how a Rhapsodian would) I actually got this arm after a fateful event.
(Flashback to Alex back on Xeronica walking through an orangey-brown & blueish-gray, rocky environment)
Alex: Back on my former home planet I was just walking through the canyon-esc terrain on the outskirts of my village when suddenly a massive landslide occurred. (masses of earth & rock ram, pummel & clash towards the flashback Alex) And I just so happened to have been caught in the chaos. (we see Alex being swallowed up by the landslide & the scene fades to black then re-opens to see that the landslide has stopped after some time has passed.) I of course did survive by the time the disaster had stopped, though it had cost me my arm. It had gotten caught under some of the debris & I lost all circulation in it. Confining me to the mass amounts of rock & rubble. (We see a now trapped Alex struggling to free himself, but to no avail.) I would've probably expired there on the spot had it not been for a ship happening to have land nearby & one of the crew members on board spotted me in my time of need.
(the door to the ship opens up & a rhapsodian walks out surveying the surroundings)
Rhapsodian #1: No sign of him here from the looks of things... (gasp) good lord, a trapped civilian!
Flashback Alex: Someone help me!
Rhapsodian #1: Don't worry, we will get you out of there immediately. You're lucky I spotted you when I did you know that? (He turns around to get a hold of the attention of his fellow crew members) Hey we need a stretcher stat!
Alex: They took me inside of their ship & made sure to find something quickly to replace my arm.
Rhapsodian #1: Do we got anything we can use?
Rhapsodian #2: Well we got this. (The Rhapsodian holds up an replacement arm meant for Rhapsodians)
Rhapsodian #1: That will have to do.
Alex: Some time had passed but they eventually fitted the arm onto my shoulder in place of the one that I lost & adjusted the size of it to suit my anatomy so I wouldn't have been dragging it along behind me. They had me in the ship for a couple of days until they said I was in the clear to go. By the time I made it back to my village everyone was horrified by my very presence. (Pan over to see other Vermals with faces of fear, shock, horror, anger & disgust as they keep away from Alex with his Rhapsodian tech arm.) I was banished instantly. Realizing I was no longer accepted on Xeronica I decided to leave in search of a new planet in where I would be accepted for who I was. I eventually managed to find Earth in the process.
(Cut back to the ending scene of episode 1 but instead along with it we see another ship being controlled by Alex coming to Earth with an Octovore vessel trailing not too far behind & getting ready to open fire.)
Alex: Landing my ship was probably the worst of it all. When I got close to Earth's atmosphere I felt something hit one of my ship's engines. Little did I know that an Octovore vessel was right behind me & I was within blasting range. Luckily I had managed to safely land my ship within the outskirts of your town.
(We then see Alex's ship crash land on Earth temporarily ending the flashback.)
Sam (looks at Danny with a smirk on her face): I told you that wasn't a falling star.
Alex: When I got out of my ship I quickly went into hiding around the forest. (We return to the flashback where we see a terrified Alex resorting to the what was available in the forest for food. We see there isn't much there & all he's managed to get out was a few berries.) Though when it came to the point when I was in need of resources I headed for the town itself. I ended up disguising myself in order to not look conspicuous.
(We see Alex transform in human form & trying his very best to blend in with the society of Singletown but nearly blowing his cover in the process.)
Danny: Well that would explain your behavior when Cathy first saw you.
(Flashback to see Alex hiding in the shadows of the suburban side of Singletown. When he picks up the presence of another alien nearby, which happens to be Cathy walking back home with her friends & chatting to them about the future of the MBC at the time)
Alex: I didn't know what to say at first. So I just got closer to see you but then I just ran off in embarrassment before I could even say a thing.
(See Alex try to say hello to Cathy & her friends but fails miserably & just runs in the opposite direction.)
Flashback Danny: Well that was a bit awkward.
Alex: It wasn't until one day Cathy actually found & conversed with me did I actually come out of my shell so to speak.
(Flashback to see Alex sitting alone by the side of the High School when Cathy approaches him.)
Flashback Cathy: Hello.
(Alex jumps back a bit from being startled)
Flashback Alex: Ahhuh!
Flashback Cathy: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Aren't you that one kid who ran away from me & my friends that one time?
Flashback Alex (speaking a bit shyly): Uh yeah.
Flashback Cathy: I'm Catherine Smith, but my friends refer to me as Cathy.
Flashback Alex: Alexander Gyrote Mehck.
Flashback Cathy: Is it alright if I just refer to you as Alex?
Flashback Alex: I don't mind. (Shrugging his shoulders as he says it)
Flashback Cathy: I've never seen you around town before. I'm guessing you're not a local.
Flashback Alex: Yeah, far from in fact. I kind of arrived here about a month ago.
Flashback Cathy: Do you live anywhere in the town?
Flashback Alex: No not really. I kind of live by myself wherever. Mostly in the forest.
Flashback Cathy: Wait so you don't have any parents?
Flashback Alex: Right. Well at least none that I know. I'm what would be called an orphan? I think the right term for it.
Flashback Cathy: Oh wow. (Cathy realizes that Alex is beginning to get a little uncomfortable so she promptly tries tries to change the subject) If you want I could introduce you to my friends.
(Pan over to see Sam, Danny, & Chris behind them.)
Flashback Alex: Sure go ahead.
(Fade out of the flashback & back to the clubhouse)
Alex: That's how I got acquainted with you guys. Though at the time neither one of us knew who each other really were. I finally managed to loosen up a bit around people & become a lot less self-containing thanks to you guys.
Chris: Well we're glad to hear that. Though it doesn't explain how come you helped us bust that one alien.
Alex: I'm getting to that, I promise. As I said I had no idea that the four of you were part of the Monster Buster Club. That wasn't until one fateful night. (We flashback to Alex's forest campsite, Alex is seen in his alien form fast asleep, curled up in a ball like shape.) I was resting outside in the forest. I had set up a camp there seeing it was close to my crashed ship & the entrance of the town. I was fast asleep when I heard some noises nearby where I had set up camp.
(Alex gets up due to the noise in the background)
Alex: I went over to see what was going on when I came across you guys racing after an Octovore, presumably the exact same one who blasted down my ship.
Chris: Yeah & it's not the first Octovore we have come across either.
Alex: I would've assumed that. I mean you are the Monster Buster Club for crying out loud. Anyways while none of you noticed me even being there, with it being the time of night is granted, I saw the alien was getting the upper hand, or in this case upper tentacle on you guys.
(Commence a sequence where the Monster Buster Club is fighting off the Octovore but it slowly & gradually begins to gain the upper ground on them, to the point where it has grabbed all four of them & is about to eat them.)
Sam: (gasp) That's when you decided to step in & launch all of those huge boulders & logs at the Octovore to distract him for long enough & allowing for us to bust it successfully.
Flashback Alex: Hey you!
Octovore: Huh?
(See Alex use some form of telekinesis to lift up multiple boulders & logs & direct them at the Octovore's head.)
Flashback Alex: How about you pick on someone your own size!
(The Octovore turn around to see a bunch of boulders & logs being projected at it, causing the Octovore to devote its attention to Alex & drop the MBC.)
Flashback Danny: What was that?
Flashback Sam: I'm not sure but let's bust the Octovore while its distracted.
(During this time a boulder get tossed back at Alex's direction just before getting busted.)
Flashback Alex: Oof!
(Alex is then sent flying backward, hitting a tree & almost to the point of losing consciousness.)
Flashback Chris: I wonder who that was that helped us out of that spot we were in.
(Cathy senses something not that far away from where they are at.)
Flashback Cathy: (to herself) "he says that he lives in the forest..." I have a hunch on who it was. Follow me. (The other three follow Cathy to see an almost unconscious Alex in alien form with his back against a tree & a boulder in front of his stomach that the MBC proceed to move out of the way.) That couldn't be him.. could it?
Alex: (narration) All I remember after that happened was four objects just staring at me. (This ends the flashback) Then everything went dark until I woke up to find myself here.
Sam: So is that your full story?
(Alex nods his head in agreement.)
Alex: So are you guys going to bust me too? I mean I did kind of arrive on Earth unknown to anyone. I'll fully accept being busted if it needs to be done.
(They all look down at Alex with very remorseful faces)
Cathy: Hold on to that thought for a moment.
(The four of them head to another room to talk things over.)
Sam: Do you really think we should bust him?
Chris: I don't know. Given the alibi he gave us I don't think or feel that he's guilty of anything. I honestly feel really sorry for him.
Danny: Yeah not to mention he doesn't appear to have anyone to go back to. That's really saddening. (Danny then comes up with an idea) Wait Cathy, didn't you say that your grandpa was ranked up to commander?
Cathy: Yeah!
Danny: We could ask him if he could join the team!
Sam: That's not that bad of an idea. Given his alibi we know he's on our side.
Mr. Smith: What's this I hear about you young'ns asking me 'bout somth'n?
(Turn to the left to see that Mr. Smith is standing there & from what the audience can assume, heard everything that they said.)
Chris: It's about the alien we brought back with us.
Mr. Smith: What about him? (The four tell Mr. Smith what Alex had told them.) Gee. The poor fellow sure has quite the tragic tale. You said he doesn't have any place to live?
Cathy: Yes Grandpa. He also told us that he never knew his parents. For all we know they could've died before he could even remember things.
Sam: We were wondering if by any chance he could live here with you guys & perhaps even join the team. Given his performance when taking out that Octovore when we were in such a tight spot he could prove really useful.
Mr. Smith: Hmm... I guess so. I did indeed mention the team will become bigger. I just never thought that our first new recruit would've been brought over to us like this.
(From behind them Alex is watching the MBC still in alien form & at the point of breaking into tears)
Alex: You're really going to let me stay here?
(Mr. Smith goes over to the Vermal & hugs him. As Alex starts to cry over Mr. Smith's shoulder)
Mr. Smith: There, there. You don't have to be alone anymore. You've got us now.
Alex: (sniff) Thank you! I promise I wont let the team down!
Mr. Smith: Ladies & Gentlemen I would like to introduce you to member number 5 of the Monster Buster Club. Alexander Gyrote Mehck "Smith" from Xeronica. (Mr. Smith hands Alex a cyan colored V-Com) May you wear this with respect, honor, & pride.
Alex: I will. (Alex puts the V-Com on his wrist & transforms into human form.) Wait, did you say Smith?
Mr. Smith: Yes I did. My sister, Frieda has been looking across the galaxy for a son. I think you will do nicely.
All: Welcome to the team Alex!
Alex: Thank you!
MBComputer: Alien Detected!
Sam: Location?
MBComputer: Singletown industrial works.
Sam: Alright. Let's go!
Sam, Danny, Chris & Cathy: MBC! Power Up!
(Alex then proceeds to copy what the others did by raising his left arm into the air.)
Alex: MBC! Power Up! (We then see him transform into his buster uniform in the color Cyan.) Alright!
Mr. Smith: Now go get that alien!
(We then freeze on the MBC running out of the clubhouse with their newest recruit as the Marathon Logo appears)
