"IT WAS QUITE LATE AT NIGHT WHEN SUPER CHICKEN HAD GOTTEN THE NEWS. APPARENTLY SOME ALIENS HAD TOUCHED DOWN NEAR THE EARTH AND WERE PLOTTING TO BLOW IT UP, FOR THEY WANTED ONE THING, AND ONE THING ONLY, AND THAT WAS—"

"Thuper Chicken??" Fred exclaimed, stunned. "Why do they need you all of a sudden?"

"I dunno, Fred, but it's time to suit up!" The fowl replied.

"AND SO, AFTER QUICKLY DOWNING HIS SUPER SAUCE, SUPER CHICKEN AND FRED PROCEEDED TO FLY THEIR NEW AND IMPROVED SUPER COOP VEHICLE UP TO THE SPACESHIP."

"Sure ith big!" Fred remarked at the sheer size and intimidating appearance of the spaceship. "And...thcary lookin'."

"Well, you knew the job was—" SC started.

"Yeah I know." Fred replied, having heard this a million times before. "—dangeroth when I took it."

"AND SO, SUPER CHICKEN AND FRED WERE IMMEDIATELY SUCKED INTO THE LARGE BLACK AND RED SPACESHIP WITH A TRACTOR BEAM. THEN, ONCE THEY WERE INSIDE, THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY TELEPORTED TO A LARGE MEETING HALL WITH BLOBBY, PINK, SQUID-LIKE BEINGS ALL AROUND, WITH BLACK EYES, JUDGING THEIR EVERY WAKING MOVEMENT."

"I got a baaad feelin' about thith." Fred gulped.

"JUST THEN THE LARGEST AND FATTEST OF THE SQUID CREATURES EMERGED FROM A HOLE WITHIN THE CEILING. HE WORE A LARGE CROWN ATOP HIS HEAD THAT APPEARED TO BE MADE OF TENDRILS, CARRIED A TENDRIL-LIKE GREEN STAFF WITH HIM, AND RODE IN ATOP A BLUE HOVERING DEVICE—PRESUMABLY TO HIDE THE FACT HE PROBABLY WAS INCAPABLE OF MOVEMENT."

"I, AM LORD VUX OF THE DRUXNESH SPECIES!" The alien warlord proudly boomed. "Now tell me, earth creature, you are the one they call "Super" chicken?"

"Sure am!" Superchicken replied.

"VERY WELL!" Vux cleared his throat. "I've called you here because I was told you are the greatest hero in all the universe. I believe that is HIGHLY unlikely, so you're going to challenge me."

"I'm ready for anything, your highness!" SC exclaimed, puffing his chest out proudly. "I am, after all, the greatest superhero on the earth. Say, what's the challenge anyway?"

"IF YOU DEFEAT ME IN GLADIATORIAL COMBAT…" the alien spoke. "Then I shall let you go free. If I defeat you, I will obliterate your planet, and you and the lion shall be my slaves."

"THE DRUXNESH ALIENS LAUGHED, FOR SC GULPED AND CLEARLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE HAD GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO."

"Ya wanna uthe thith big fork, SC?" Fred asked, holding up an enormous pitchfork.

"No thanks, Fred, that's a bit too big for me." SC replied. "All I'll require is my brain…and my super-sauce…"

"Oh lord…." Fred replied, realizing that the battle was going to be relatively long. "Better make it the industrial-sized pure conthentrate kind…"

"EVENTUALLY, AFTER DOWNING HIS SUPER SAUCE AND PUTTING ON HIS SUPERHERO OUTFIT (along with a Druxneshian battle helmet) SUPER CHICKEN WALKED INTO THE ARENA, READY TO FIGHT…."

"Well let's get this over with." Super Chicken spoke.

"YOU, SHALL FIGHT Y'REK!" Vux exclaimed, pointing to the other side of the arena. "He is strong, he is merciless, not to mention my SON, and the heir to the Druxnesh Empire!"

"THE DOOR OPENED, AND OUT STEPPED A VERY TALL ALIEN. UNLIKE THE OTHER DRUXNESH, Y'REK WAS VERY MUSCULAR WITH A HUMAN-LIKE PHYSIQUE. CLAD IN ONLY GAUNTLETS AND A LOINCLOTH, THE ONLY WEAPON HE CARRIED WAS A MASSIVE CLUB."

"Uh….strong family resemblance." SC replied, gulping at the sheer size of the alien warrior.

"Alright!" SC exclaimed, punching the air. "Bring it on! I can take ya! I can tak—"

(*SMASH!*)

"Y'REK'S MIGHTY FIST CRUNCHED THE MIGHTY SUPER CHICKEN TO THE GROUND."

"I wasn't rea—"

(*SMASH!*) "Y'REK CRUSHED HIM AGAIN."

"I said I wasn't rea—"

(*SMASH!*) "…AND AGAIN…"

"JEETH LOUEETH HE'TH GETTIN' CLOBBERED!" Fred exclaimed.

"FRED IMMEDIATELY RUSHED OUT ONTO THE ARENA WHERE SUPER CHICKEN LAY IN A CRUMPLED MESS OF FLESH AND FEATHERS."

"Oh…Fred…it's you…" SC coughed as Fred picked him up. "D-did I win?"

"Of courth you did, big guy…" Fred replied, hugging SC close to his chest.

"AS THE MIGHTY FIST OF Y'REK APPROACHED THE TWO FRIENDS, THINGS LOOKED PRETTY BLEAK, UNTIL…."

"SPLOOG MEAT!" An alien food vendor shouted, holding up an oddly-shaped drumstick. "GET YOUR SPLOOG ME—AAGH!" The alien tripped, causing the drumstick to fall all the way down to the center of the arena, AND, right in front of Fred.

"THAT PIECE OF WEIRD, ALIEN MEAT WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE FRED MAD… FOR YOU SEE…HE IS A VEGETARIAN, BUT HE CANNOT OVERCOME HIS NATURAL PREDATORY INSTINCTS! AS SUCH, FRED GREW FROM SMALL AND SCRAWNY TO HUGE AND MUSCULAR, WITH PECS AS BIG AS HAMS! HIS SWEATER BECAME SHREDDED, AND THANKS TO ALL THE ADDED BULK...his intelligence, or what little he had, was now gone, and he was the perfect killer..."

"FRED WANT KIIILLLLL!!" The now-extremely muscular lion devoured the piece of meat within a single bite, then threw himself at the body of Vux.

"OH, FRED AND VUX DID CLASH EVER SO HARD, VUX TRIED TO SUPPLEX FRED, BUT FRED BIT HIM ON THE LEG AND EVEN ATE A CHUNK OF SAID LEG! WHILE SUPER CHICKEN LAY DAZED ON THE GROUND, FRED PROCEEDED TO PICK UP VUX, JUMP INTO THE AIR, AND SLAM HIM THROUGH THE ROOF OF THE ARENA. THE DESCENT WAS NOT PRETTY EITHER. FRED GRABBED VUX'S HEAD AND DROVE IT AT LEAST A MILE INTO THE GROUND. THEN, SWEATING AND OVERWHELMED, FRED SHRANK BACK DOWN TO NORMAL AS IF NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENED."

"Vux is defeated!" One of the Druxnesh exclaimed.

"You may go free, earth creatures!" Another exclaimed. "At last, we are free as well!"

"Really?" Super chicken asked. "What d'you mean you're free as well?"

"Vux was a terrible dictator and a ruthless warmonger, now that he's gone, we may become the peaceful species we were meant to be!" Another Druxnesh replied.

"Oh." SC replied at the sudden exposition. "Well, we're gonna head out now."

"SUPER CHICKEN AND FRED THEN WENT BACK TO THEIR PENTHOUSE, KNOWING THAT THE DAY WAS INDEED SAVED AND THAT THE ALIENS WERE VANQUISHED."

End.
