Part two written by garfieldodie
Rupert and Earl stared at Dr Brainstorm and Jack.
Dr Brainstorm was bubbling with excitement.
"YES!" he shouted. "ALIENS FROM A DISTANT WORLD! OH, I'M SO HAPPY! THIS IS WONDERFUL! I NEVER GET TO BE HAPPY!!!"
Jack simply looked at the aliens.
Rupert and Earl looked at each other.
"Uh…," Jack said, for once having nothing to say to someone. "I'm Jack. He's Frank."
"DOCTOR FREAKIN' BRAINSTORM!!!" Brainstorm shouted, whirling around at him.
Then he addressed the aliens.
"Don't mind Jack. He's useless. And I, aliens, am Dr Brainstorm," he said, bowing.
Rupert looked unsure.
"Er, I am Rupert Chill, king of Planet Zok. This is Earl," he said.
Earl nodded.
Brainstorm looked up.
"NO WAY!" he shouted. "The Rupert and Earl of Zok?!"
"You've heard of us?"
"Oh, you bet! Calvin's always talking about you!" said Brainstorm. "And everybody's always picking on him and not believing him for it!"
"Ah, then you are acquainted with the Earth Potentate," Rupert said, eyeing him closely.
Dr Brainstorm and Jack looked at each other, now both clearly confused.
"Huh?" asked Jack.
Brainstorm backed away from the aliens and approached Jack.
"What are they talking about?" he whispered.
"Uh, they must think Calvin's the ruler of Earth, and therefore, the need for them to be after him," Jack suggested.
Brainstorm nodded and then approached the aliens again.
"Yes, we are in fact acquainted with the…Earth Potentate," Brainstorm said.
Jack rolled his eyes.
Rupert and Earl now looked nervous.
"Umm…," Earl said. "You're not…insane, are you?"
Brainstorm stared at him with a goofy grin.
"I think that answers your question," Jack said, now feeling bored again.
Rupert and Earl slowly began to back away.
"You know, on second thought…," Rupert said, "…we, um, left the, er, iron on. We've gotta go!"
Rupert and Earl tried to run away, but Brainstorm jumped them.
WHUMP!
"NO! PLEASE!" Brainstorm wailed. "You two must assist me in destroying Calvin and Hobbes! Please! PLEASE! PLEASE!"
Earl shouted into the ship.
"HELP US OUT, YOU MORONS!"
Lenny stood at the top of the escalator.
"What? And ruin the floor show?" he asked.
Rupert and Earl growled.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from inside the ship.
BLAM! KABOOM!
Rupert, Earl, Brainstorm and Jack looked up.
Lenny looked behind himself.
"Uh, bad news, boss!" he shouted. "It would appear that Dave blew up the navigation console."
BASH!
"And Biff knocked off the steering wheel."
TINKLE!
"And Jeff just broke a window!"
Rupert and Earl stared in a stupor at him.
Lenny chuckled nervously.
"Should I get the insurance guys on the phone?" he asked.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Rupert shouted.
"Thank you, sir!" Lenny whimpered, and he scurried away.
Dr Brainstorm finally got off of Rupert and Earl.
"So…," he said awkwardly.
Rupert and Earl groaned.
"Great," said Earl. "Without the navigation console, the steering wheel and the window, we're marooned here."
"How do we fix the ship?" Rupert asked. "We came here to capture Calvin! We'll never find the time!"
Brainstorm then grinned madly.
Rupert and Earl noticed.
"Umm…what do you want?" Earl asked.
"WE COULD FIX YOUR SHIP!!" Brainstorm shouted happily.
Rupert arched an eyebrow…I think.
"Could you?"
"For a price."
Rupert glared.
"Name it."
"You let me help you destroy Calvin and help me rule the world!"
Earl went to object, but Rupert stopped him.
"Deal," Rupert said.
Brainstorm clapped.
"Excellent!" he cheered. "Jack! Activate the towing cables in our rocket! We've gotta get this thing into the shop!"
"Whatever," said Jack, following him.
As they got back into their rocket, Earl pulled Rupert aside.
"And why, pray tell, do we need his help?!" Earl demanded. "He's just going to slow us down!"
"Nonsense," said Rupert. "With his help, the Earth Potentate shall be captured, and we'll get the ship fixed for free!"
"How?!"
"We'll use the doctor as bait to lure him out, and then WHAM! We have him!"
Earl considered.
"But what do we do with him when we're done?" he asked.
"Who, Brainstorm? Eh, we'll chuck him aside once he's done his job. Simple as that," Rupert said.
Earl grinned evilly.
"Brilliant!" he said.
"Go tell the crew."
"I'll try," Earl sighed.
Earl went up the escalator.
Dr Brainstorm approached Rupert again.
"Okay, Rupert! We're ready to hook up the ships! Where's your towing hook?"
Rupert looked confused.
"I'm…not sure we have one," he said, frowning up at the ship.
"Oh. Well, no matter! We'll improvise!"
Rupert grinned.
"Oh, Earl?" he shouted up the ship. "Send Lenny down here!"
A little later, Dr Brainstorm and Jack were flying the rocket to a giant field, towing the spaceship behind them.
Between the two crafts were a bunch of towing cables…and Lenny, who was holding them all together.
"MOTHER!" he shrieked.
Meanwhile, Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman were looking through the museum.
They seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Calvin was walking around and imitating the dinosaurs.
"RRAAAAWWLL!!!" Calvin growled at someone.
"EEK!" a woman shrieked, and she ran away.
Needless to say, Hobbes and the others kept their distance from him.
Hobbes and Socrates were observing the prehistoric saber-toothed tigers.
Socrates looked a little bored.
"Well, this is fascinating, Hobbo," Socrates said, "but I really want to break something and blame it on Calvin. Can we move on?"
"You take no pride in your heritage," said Hobbes, looking at a plaque with information on it.
"Hobbes, you have been reading the same plaque for an hour!"
"It's interesting stuff!" Hobbes said. "It says here that—ACK!"
Socrates grabbed Hobbes and dragged him away.
Andy and Sherman were looking at the new American Indian exhibit.
It was mildly interesting.
Andy was walking around it while Sherman napped on his shoulder.
Andy was annoyed.
"Shermie, if you don't want to stay, why don't you go look at something else?" he sighed.
"Yes! Thank you!" Sherman said.
Sherman leapt from Andy's shoulder and scurried away.
On the way, he heard Calvin.
"GGRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWLLL!!"
"HEY! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" a man shouted.
Sherman rolled his eyes and carried on.
Back at Yellowstone, Dr Brainstorm and Jack were overseeing the giant spaceship.
"Well, Jack, what do you think?" Brainstorm asked.
Jack looked at it.
"Well…I could have the window fixed in fifteen minutes," he said.
"Good."
"And the steering wheel probably just needs a new bolt. That should take me about another fifteen minutes."
"Good."
"And the navigation console might take a little longer. It'll need a new set of wires. We probably have some lying around here. Then it'll need new radar. I think we could give them one of our spares."
"Excellent. We're counting on you, Jack. DON'T SCREW IT UP!" Brainstorm shouted.
Jack simply waved him off and pulled out a pair of wire cutters and set to work.
As he left, Brainstorm turned to the alien crew.
"You have open access to nothing. If you touch any of my stuff, you shall be injured by either it or me when I find out. You are to stay in the garage with Jack. Understand?"
The aliens all nodded.
Rupert and Earl were confused.
"Wait, why do you listen to him?" Earl demanded.
"He understands us!" Biff said simply.
Rupert and Earl looked at Dr Brainstorm, who simply grinned and shrugged.
The aliens marched into the garage.
"Jack, keep an eye on them!" Dr Brainstorm ordered.
"Whatever," Jack replied, climbing into the ship.
Brainstorm closed the door and locked, and he led Rupert and Earl to the main lab.
"Okay, what do we do?" he asked. "What's the GENIUS PLAN that you two have?!"
"Well, first, we should locate Calvin," said Rupert.
"GENIUS, indeed," Dr Brainstorm shouted.
Rupert sighed.
Brainstorm ran to his giant computer and typed a few things.
After a few beeps and whirrs, a picture of the museum appeared on the screen.
"Ah, their local museum!" said Brainstorm triumphantly. "The place where the mind is fed!"
"Then we'd better get him over there in a hurry," Earl muttered.
"INDEED!" Brainstorm suddenly exclaimed, misunderstanding. "Now then, what's the plan?"
"Well," said Rupert, "since the Earth Potentate is more aware of you, I think you should go first after him. You can lure him out of the museum for us to capture, and then, we'll bring him back here."
"Hmmm," said Brainstorm, thinking carefully.
Rupert and Earl watched him.
"So simple…," he said.
There was another pause.
"…and yet, SO BRILLIANT!" Brainstorm suddenly shouted, sticking his arms in the air.
Rupert and Earl jumped back in surprise.
"I'm in! Let's rock this puppy!" Brainstorm shouted, heading for the rocket.
Rupert and Earl watched him, and then quickly slithered after him.
Back at the museum, Sherman was hustling around the museum looking at the giant dinosaur skeletons.
As he walked, he heard a noise come from nearby.
WHAM!
"ALL RIGHT! WHERE'S THE KID?!" a familiar voice shouted.
Sherman's eyes bugged open.
"Wait…," he said. "Is that…?"
Sherman quickly scurried around a corner and looked at the front entrance.
It was Dr Brainstorm. He had his usual angry look on his face, and in his arms was a…leaf blower?
"Sir?" asked the attendant. "You're going to have to pay for your entry to our museum."
Dr Brainstorm stared at her for a moment.
Then he angrily fished through his pockets and pulled out some money.
He angrily handed it to her.
She gave him a ticket.
"There you go, sir. Have a nice day," she said, returning to her desk.
Dr Brainstorm jammed the ticket in his pocket and then started his search.
Sherman immediately ducked behind the corner and began to scurry across the floor.
Hobbes, Socrates and Andy were walking down a hallway when Sherman came pelting up behind them.
"Andy! Andy!" Sherman cried.
They turned around.
"Oh, there you are, Shermie! We were looking for you," said Andy, bending down to pick him up.
"We were?" asked Hobbes.
Sherman quickly leapt into Andy's hands.
"Gentlemen," he whispered. "We have a Brainstorm situation!"
They all looked surprised.
"Dr Brainstorm is here?!" Socrates asked.
Sherman nodded.
"But this isn't his style!" said Hobbes. "Usually he lures us to him! He doesn't just come barging in!"
"Well, you know Dr Brainstorm," said Andy, placing Sherman on his shoulder. "He loves to experiment."
"We have to find Calvin!" said Sherman.
"Why?" asked Hobbes.
"Well, isn't he usually the one Brainstorm is after? We usually just get snagged into this."
"True," said Andy.
"Well then, let's just leave him be," said Hobbes walking away.
But Socrates stopped him.
"You'd desert your best friend?" he asked.
"To keep myself safe? You bet. See ya later," said Hobbes.
But Andy stopped him.
"Now Hobbes, I know you don't mean that," he said.
Hobbes sighed.
"But…I'm just not in the mood," he whined.
"It'll be okay," said Socrates. "I mean, it's just Dr B! It's not like he's threatening or anything!"
Hobbes considered this.
"All right, let's find him," he said at last.
"OW!"
They looked down at the dinosaurs in the next hallway.
"Oh, there he is," said Socrates. "He's biting someone."
They quickly ran over as Calvin was berated by the woman he'd bitten.
Andy grabbed Calvin and started to drag him away.
"Ma'am, please excuse our friend. He has Senior Winces Disease," he said, dragging Calvin away.
Once they were in another hallway, Andy let go of him.
"Hey! I was having fun!" Calvin cried.
"Well, we have bigger problems," said Hobbes. "Brainstorm showed up!"
Calvin was surprised.
"Dr Frank Brainstorm?" Calvin asked.
They nodded.
"But what's he doing in a museum?!"
"Looking for you, obviously," said Sherman.
"Well, I'll go see what he wants," Calvin decided. "You guys wait here."
"No need, Cally!" said an insane voice.
They looked up.
Dr Brainstorm, with his strange-looking device, stood over them.
"Oh, hey there, Frank!" said Calvin.
"DOCTOR BRAINSTORM!" he shouted.
"SSSSHHH!" someone hissed.
Dr Brainstorm whipped around.
"Sorry!" he hissed back.
Then he whipped back.
"Anyway, you're all coming with me!" he said in a quieter voice.
"Give us one reason to listen to you," said Calvin, folding his arms.
"Or else you get a taste of this!" said Brainstorm, holding the giant device up at Calvin's head.
Calvin stared at it.
"Why are you aiming a leaf-blower at my head?" he asked.
There was an awkward silence as Dr Brainstorm stared at it.
"Drat!" he said in a loud whisper. "The fake weapon didn't fool you!"
"Well, it's a bit obvious, you have to admit," said Sherman.
"I suppose I could've disguised it, but I was sort of rushed."
"By what?" Calvin asked.
"Oh…nothing!" Brainstorm said, failing at being mysterious.
There was a pause.
Then he lifted up the leaf-blower.
"Well, I suppose I can still smack you around with this," he said.
He prepared to bring it down on them when they immediately got out of the way.
Calvin and Hobbes ran behind him while Andy, Sherman and Socrates stood behind them.
"Why did you bring a fake weapon anyway?" Calvin demanded.
"To trick you, of course!" Brainstorm said, whirling around.
Calvin and Hobbes jumped back to avoid being hit by the leaf blower.
"Let's just get out of here," Socrates whispered.
"Agreed," said Hobbes.
They immediately turned around and headed for the entrance.
"Thank you for coming to the museum and please come again!" the attendant called.
But as Calvin, Hobbes and company got further away from the building, something happened.
ZZAP!
Immediately they were stuck in midair.
"What the heck…?" asked Hobbes.
"What hit us?" asked Andy.
"We did," said a dark voice.
They gasped and looked up.
"RUPERT!" Calvin shrieked.
"EARL!" Hobbes gasped.
"CALVIN!" Rupert growled.
"HOBBES!" Earl added.
There was a silence.
"Oh, and what are we? Nothing?" asked Andy impatiently.
"No, it's just we can't remember your names," said Rupert.
Just then, Brainstorm ran up.
"Ha! You did it!" he cheered. "We have them in our clutches!"
Calvin stared.
"Wait, you're in cahoots with Brainstorm?!" he cried.
Rupert and Earl simply rolled their eyes.
"YES! YES, THEY ARE!" Brainstorm shouted. "THEY HAVE JOINED ME IN MY QUEST TO DESTROY YOU AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"
"Does he ever turn off?" Earl muttered.
"I blame his parents," said Sherman.
"But why Brainstorm?!" Calvin asked.
"Well, he agreed to fix our ship," Rupert said.
"Yes, Jack and the alien crew are repairing it even as we stand!" said Dr Brainstorm.
"And we shall now be taking you back to them," said Earl.
Dr Brainstorm took out a rope and looped the beam that had frozen Calvin and the gang, and they began to tow them away.
"This is humiliating," Hobbes hissed.
Back at the lab, Jack was having a heck of a time with the aliens.
He was actually trying to fix the spaceship. He'd repaired the window and steering wheel. Now all that was left was the navigation console.
But the aliens were proving to be a handful.
"Mr Jack, sir?" asked Dave.
"What?" Jack asked.
"Can I have a cookie?"
"No."
Dave left, and then Carl popped up.
"Jack, can I have some cash?"
"No."
Carl left, and Lenny appeared.
"Jack, can I get an electric scooter?"
"No!"
Lenny left, and then Jay came up.
"Jack, can I—?"
"SHUT UP!" Jack shouted.
Everyone stopped, surprised by Jack's sudden outburst.
"Now, I did not have you so that you could all change my name to 'Jack, can I'," Jack announced.
Then Jack rethought what he'd just said.
"Uh…," he said. "How about you all just watch TV?"
"YAY!" they all said.
Jack pulled out a small TV and set it up in the corner.
All the aliens jumped in and started watching it.
Jack rolled his eyes and got back to work.
At that moment, Dr Brainstorm entered.
"Jack!" he called. "How's it going?"
"Well, the aliens finally shut up long enough for me to fully examine what wire I'll need for the navigation console. I fixed everything else, though."
"Good, good," said Brainstorm. "Anyway, we've CAPTURED CALVIN!"
Jack looked up.
"Seriously?" he asked.
Brainstorm glared at him.
"Just get back to work," he ordered.
And he left to rejoin Rupert and Earl.
Jack started to reconnect some wires when he noticed a shadow.
He looked up.
Erne was looking at him.
"What now?" he asked.
"Er, can I use your restroom?" he whispered.
Jack stared at him.
"Uh, just use the one on your ship," he said. "It should work."
"Thank you! You know, you and the human are so nice! It's a shame we're going to betray you in the end," he said, walking away.
Jack looked up again.
"Huh?" he asked.
"Hmm? Oh, it's just that when you're done fixing our ship, Rupert and Earl are going to double-cross that Brainstorm dude and take you over with the rest of the world," Erne said, disappearing into the ship.
Jack watched him leave.
Then he looked at the navigation console he was fixing.
Dr Brainstorm reentered the lab.
Rupert and Earl were opening some strange chambers.
Calvin and company were still floating in the air and frozen in the green beam.
"So what do we do now?" asked Dr Brainstorm.
"Well, we're going to put the Earth Potentate and his friends in stasis until we know what to do with them," said Earl.
Dr Brainstorm saw five chambers sitting before him.
"Ooh, stasis! To freeze someone into nonexistence in a field of nonmoving time!" he said. "Very sleek!"
Rupert and Earl looked surprised by his sudden burst of knowledge.
"What?"
Rupert waved it off.
Earl then grabbed Andy and Sherman.
Calvin, Hobbes and Socrates watched.
Earl stepped on two peddles on the stasis chambers, and the tops popped open like trashcans.
Andy and Sherman were plopped inside separate chambers.
Once the stasis chamber was locked, the field was activated, and Andy and Sherman froze in their current position.
"Whoa!" said Calvin.
Socrates attempted to run, but Brainstorm grabbed him by the tail.
Then he swung him into the air.
"OW!" Socrates shouted. "Gentle!"
He landed in the chamber, and Rupert trapped him inside, immediately halting him.
"Huh," said Calvin. "For a while, Socrates will no longer exist."
"Try not to make fun of him," said Hobbes.
Rupert immediately plucked Calvin and Hobbes out of the beam, making it disappear.
"Well, Earth Potentate," said Rupert with a slimy smile. "It looks like you've finally met your end."
Brainstorm spoke up.
"Uh…yeah. Same here," he said trying to agree.
Calvin and Hobbes gulped as they were dropped into the chambers and were trapped.
Brainstorm stared at them.
Then he got down on his knees and cheered.
"YES!" he shouted. "FINALLY, AFTER ALL THIS WORK,THE STRANGE-LOOKING CHILD AND HIS ROBOTIC TIGER ARE DEFEATED!!!"
"SHUT UP!" Rupert and Earl shouted.
Dr Brainstorm immediately clammed up.
"Sorry! Got a little excited."
"Now then, how's our ship coming?" Rupert demanded.
"Uh, Jack's still finishing the navigation console," he said.
Rupert and Earl continued to watch him.
"Uh, I'll go check for progress," he said nervously.
"You do that," said Rupert. "We're going to get something out of the ship."
Jack was just welding the navigation console back into place when Brainstorm ran in.
"WE'VE DONE IT, JACK! THE WORLD SHALL BE OURS IN A FEW SHORT HOURS!!" he shouted.
There was a pause as Jack put his welder away.
Dr Brainstorm stood there for a while.
"I WANT IT TO COME NOW!" he whined.
Jack sighed.
"To be honest, Frank, I don't think it's ever going to come for you."
Brainstorm scoffed.
"That's just like you, Jack! So negative! Never any hope."
"Uh, Frank, remember how earlier today, you said aliens don't lie?"
"Yes, vividly," said Brainstorm.
"Well, evidently, you were wrong, because Rupert and Earl are planning to betray us later on," said Jack.
Dr Brainstorm looked stunned.
There was a long moment of silence.
"Bah!" said Brainstorm. "I can't believe it! I can't! I shan't…because it isn't true!"
Jack looked at him solemnly.
Brainstorm looked distressed.
"But it is, isn't it?" he asked sadly.
Jack, for possibly the first time in his life, felt sorry for Dr Brainstorm.
"Oh, this sucks!" Brainstorm groaned, sitting down in a chair and holding his head.
There was an awkward pause.
"How did you acquire your data?" he asked quietly.
"One of the aliens from the crew told me," said Jack, looking at him. "They're not very bright, so they probably forgot not to tell me."
Then Dr Brainstorm's expression darkened.
"Well, they won't get away with it!" he said, standing up again. "I'll show them! Those two double-crossing backstabbers won't make a complete fool out of me!"
Jack decided it best not to say anything.
"I'll teach them what happens when you backstab Dr Brainstorm!" he continued.
"How do we do that?" Jack asked.
Steam poured from the stasis chambers as Jack pressed the button on the side.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman slowly came back into existence and emerged from them.
"Ooh," they moaned.
"Good morning, Calvin," Jack said. "You have now been released from stasis."
"Haven't we only just gone in?" asked Calvin, rubbing his eyes.
Then he noticed that Rupert and Earl were gone.
"Where is everybody, Jack?" he asked.
"They're dead, Calvin," Jack said.
"Who is?!?" Hobbes asked.
"Everybody, Hobbes," said Jack.
"How long were we in stasis?" Socrates asked, climbing out.
"About three million years," Jack said, pulling out a calendar.
Andy's eyes shot open.
"THREE MILLION YEARS?!?" he cried. "Have I still got that library book?!"
Brainstorm pushed Jack aside.
"Okay, Jack, enough is enough," he grumbled.
"I was just having fun," Jack said.
Everyone glared at him.
"Sorry," Jack muttered.
"So what's really going on?" Hobbes demanded.
"I'm releasing you," Dr Brainstorm said.
"What do you plan to do with us?" Calvin demanded.
"Letting you go free."
There was a long pause.
"Huh?" asked Calvin at last.
"Don't you know an offer of freedom when you hear it?" Brainstorm asked. "Get out of my lab!"
"What?!" asked Calvin.
Andy stepped forward.
"I'm sorry, I'm not buying this," he said. "You finally capture us and get us out of the way, and now suddenly, you're letting us go?!"
"Well, if you think for one second that I'm going to let those aliens double-cross me, you've got another thing coming," he said sternly.
Now Calvin looked even more surprised.
"Wait, Rupert and Earl tricked you?" he asked.
"I know it's a shocker, but yes, they did," Brainstorm said. "Even a genius like me can be tricked once in a while."
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
"What do you plan to do?" asked Socrates.
"I'm going to let you defeat them," said Brainstorm. "You can do whatever you want with them. They're in the garage."
Everyone exchanged glances.
"Do you think we can?" asked Hobbes.
"We've done it a few times before," said Calvin.
"LET'S DO IT!" said Socrates excitedly.
They ran to the garage.
"Hey, Calvin!" Brainstorm shouted.
Calvin skidded to a halt and looked back.
Something landed in his hands.
It was the MTM.
Calvin grinned at Brainstorm.
"Thanks, Frank," he said.
"Whatever," said Brainstorm, grumbling.
Calvin ran off.
"AND ITS DOCTOR BRAINSTORM!!!" he shouted.
He sat down in a chair.
Jack was leaning against the wall, sipping some lemonade.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked.
"WHAT TH—?! HOW'D YOU GET OUT?!?" they heard Rupert scream.
"Oh, I'm fine," said Dr Brainstorm, not noticing.
"EAT LASER, CHILL!" Calvin shouted.
"I guess it just wasn't meant to be," he continued.
BRZAP!
BOOM!
"Hey, don't feel bad," Jack said encouragingly. "Just chalk this up to experience."
"EARL! GRAB THEM! QUICKLY!" Rupert yelled.
"PUT THE HAMSTER DOWN!" Andy shouted.
"Besides, you wouldn't want to share the glory with aliens anyway," Jack continued.
"HEY, ALIEN CREW! THERE'S FREE MILKSHAKES ON THE SHIP!!" Socrates shouted.
ZOOM!
"GET BACK HERE!" Earl yelled.
"True," said Brainstorm. "It wasn't exactly my style, was it?"
"HOBBES, LOOK OUT!" Calvin shouted.
BLAM!
"WHOA!" Hobbes shouted.
"Oh well. After today, I'll get back to work on some better plans," he said.
"'Atta boy," said Jack, patting him on the back.
KABOOM!
"QUICK! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Rupert screamed.
"Uh, you'd better open the doors so they can leave," said Brainstorm.
"Right."
Jack pushed a few buttons on the console.
VOOOM
The sound of the doors to the garage opening.
SHWOOM!
The sound of the aliens leaving.
There was a pause.
Then, Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman reentered the lab.
"Well, that's done," said Calvin, dusting himself off. "We'd better head for home."
"Okay," said Jack. "Your box is parked outside."
"Thanks," said Hobbes.
BEEP! BEEP!
"Oop, getting a call," said Jack, pressing a button.
Rupert and Earl appeared on the screen.
"YOU DOUBLE-CROSSED US!!" Rupert shouted angrily.
Brainstorm stood up and glared at him.
"Yes, I did," he said. "I happen to know you were just using me."
Rupert and Earl then exchanged glances.
"Well, we didn't get a chance to, so you're the bad guy in this one," Earl said angrily.
Just then, Lenny ran up.
"Uh, sirs? We've got a slight problem with the navigation console. It's caused us to set the wrong course, and we're headed for a two week vacation to the asteroid belt!" he said.
"Well, get us out off the course!" Rupert ordered.
"We can't! We've been locked out of the program!"
Rupert and Earl looked at each other before looking at Brainstorm.
Dr Brainstorm and Jack were grinning back at them, Jack still holding his wrench.
"Nice to know our lion still has its teeth," Brainstorm grinned, turning off the screen.
Then they turned back to face Calvin and Hobbes.
"Now then," he said, "you all get going on home so that we can prepare to destroy you some other time."
Calvin and Hobbes looked at him unsurely.
"Uh…sure, whatever," said Calvin.
And they left the lab.
Once they were alone again, Dr B turned to Jack.
"Come on, Jack. I'll order pizza," he said.
"Good idea, Frank."
"DR BRAINSTORM!!!"
