Back on Earth after school Elliott rode his bike home and checked the alien transmitter. This has been the schedule for the last four months. Wake up, go to school, see if ET left a message, go home, stay in room only leaving to go to the bathroom for dinner, put on his pajamas, go to bed, and repeat. He was expiating nothing there as usual. However, his eyes widened as he actually saw a message.
"Hi Elliott, I'm so sorry for not contacting you for so long. A lot of things as been going on over here. Anyway to make a long story short, I'm on my way to Earth. All will be explained when I get there but just wanted to let you know. I'll see you in a few minutes. Sincerely, ET. P.S, I miss you too"
After reading that, every single piece of Elliott's old self returned inside of him. He ran faster than in his entire life back inside. Once he made it back he ran inside to see Gertie, Michael, and Mary inside as he screamed-
"ET'S COMING BACK, HE'S COMING BACK!"
"He is?!"
Both Michael and Gertie said in unison.
"He is, there was a message on the alien transmitter."
Mary came into the picture asking-
"Did he say when he's coming?"
"He didn't. But he is coming over here."
As Elliott said that, they heard something outside. Elliott, Michael, and Gertie looked out the window to see ET's ship land in the cornfield in their backyard. The family dog Harvey growled at it and Elliott griped on to him to calm him down. They ran out there wondering why the ship was smaller than the one before. After a few minutes of silence the door opened. ET then slowly waddled out of it. For a long moment none of them said a word. ET and Elliott just stared at each other smiling with tears of joy running down their cheeks, Elliott than ran up to ET with Gertie and Michael following him.
One by one all four of them had the biggest hug they've ever had in a long time. Tears of joy were all over the place. Elliott was the first one to say anything to ET.
"I thought we were never gonna see you again. I, I thought you forgot all about us."
"Are you kidding, I'd never forget about you guys. You helped me get back to my old home. I know you guys needed me as much as I needed you."
"I think it's safe to say that's without a doubt true."
Michael said in response. With ET speaking English perfectly Elliott then said.
"I can see your language has improved since last time you were here."
"Yes, yes it has. Anyway, the reason why I didn't respond to your message is because everything in my life seemed to have fallen apart back home. The last thing I wanted was for you to worry about me."
"I guess that's understandable."
Elliott had said. And then Gertie had a worried look on her face. Once ET noticed this she asked-
"What do you mean your life's fallen apart?"
ET thought for a minute and then rerluctantly responded.
"When I returned back home I thought everything would be great being back home. I was back with my three friends and my parent. But then the king of my planet told me to come to planet hall and he demoded me for breaking 4 rules about traveling to planets. About a week later when I got home from work that's when I saw Elliott's message. I was going to send to a response to it but King Zarthur showed up and fired me from my job and suspended my job license. I felt so miserable on my own home and I didn't know what to do. But then, I remembered how caring you guys were. So I decided to come back here. Except this time, I'm here to stay."
Elliott, Michael, Gertie, and Mary couldn't believe what they just heard. How could someone treat such a kind hearted person like ET like that?
After a longer moment of silence Elliott then asked-
"But what if you get sick again?"
"Don't worry, my parent gave me medicine in case that happens. So what I'm trying to say is, please let me stay here again. It will be different, I really will be right here this time and I'll stay more hidden. We never have to say goodbye until our time really comes. So, what do guys say?"
Elliot and his family didn't really know what to say. On one hand ET was pretty much an un-realized member of the family. But on the other hand, the government invaded their house and because of ET's telepathic bond, Elliot almost died along with ET. But maybe ET's medicine could keep that connection from happening again. And they could find a way to hide him better. So after a long time of thinking Elliott then said-
"Well, is it okay with you, mom?"
"Well, since he makes you happy and he's had trouble back at his home then I guess he can stay."
"Really?!"
Elliott asked. Mary then nodded her head meaning ET could stay. So Elliott, Michael, and Gertie once again group huged ET in celebration. Once that was done and over with ET then walked to Mary and said-
"And I promise, I won't be so secretive to you or your children."
After ET said that Mary responded-
"Don't worry about it "ET". We'll make sure you feel right at home here."
"I know you will."
ET responded. They all had a good laugh after that until an ominous red shadow seemed to fall on them. Harvey ran into the house in fear and Gertie started to get really scared and griped onto Mary. ET looked up to see something he never wanted to see. He heard so many stories about the owner of this spaceship. He never thought he would witness one of his attacks.
"W-Who is that?"
Michael said in a shaky voice. ET knew what and who this was. He told all four of them who that was.
"I know who this is. I've heard many legends of this being. He's been looking for the perfect planet to take over for centuries. Once he found my home he tried to take control of it many times but never could. He must've thought Earth would be the next thing."
"What's his name?"
Elliott asked.
"His name is-"
Before ET could say his name they heard a booming deep robotic voice say-
"Planet Earth, for hundreds of years I've been looking for a planet to call my own to take control over. And it looks like I've finally found the perfect planet. So bow down, bow down to your new overlord: WE'Z'KNAW!"
"That's his name!"
We'Z'Knaw began to shoot lazers from his ship while laughing evilly. ET, Elliott and his family ran inside in a hurry. Gertie was crying still holding on to Mary. Elliott rubbed Gertie's shoulder until she let go of her mother, she was still crying. Elliott held her close to calm her down.
"Don't worry Gertie, it's gonna be okay."
He said softly to his scared sister. It didn't help too much but it did help a little bit. Michael was walking back and forth wondering what to do.
"Oh my god, what do we do?"
He said while once he stopped his wandering. An hour or so pasted by and during all of it ET was thinking of a plan to stop We'Z'Knaw. Elliott was going to ask him what he was doing when ET finally came up with his plan.
"I just came up with an idea. But I'm gonna need your guys help with it."
"Okay, what do you got?"
After ET explained his plan they all got their bikes. Mary was of course worried about her kids.
"Are you sure you guys want to do this? I mean you could get hurt."
"Don't worry mom, if we can out bike ride at least thirty government agents and avoid police with guns then I'm sure we can defeat an evil alien overlord."
Michael said to calm Mary down. But he then realized that wasn't really working.
"Okay yeah, this is a lot more dangerous. But I'm positive we can do this."
"Well okay, just try to stay safe."
Mary said. Elliott then rode his bike with ET in the basket to his mom and said-
"Don't worry Mom, we got this."
And with that, they rode their bikes to where the spaceship was. The first part of ET's plan was to distract We'Z'Knaw.
Michael went in front of the ship with a paper cone and yelled into it.
"Hey We-Sneeze, over here!"
"First off it's We'Z'Knaw, second off what do you want?"
"Uhhh, what kind of alien are you?"
"That's actually a good question. I've heard some life in space say I'm a willagin. But I've heard others call me a rugatren. However-"
While they were having their conversation ET, Elliott, and Gertie sneaked into the inside of the spaceship. They saw that the ship had a map inside of it for some reason. They first traveled right then left, then left again, and then right. Just four more turns and then they'd make it to the main control room. However two guard/minions were in there. All three of them could tell they were both girls and the same size of Gertie.
"I think I might be able to distract them."
Gertie said with a plan in her head.
So Gertie walked to them and said.
"Oh hello, I don't think we've met but I'm one of We'S'Aww's meanions. I'm wearing a Human costume."
"Do you mean disguise?"
"Oh, yes that's what I meant."
"Well it's the best one I've seen in decades. How did you make it?"
With the guards distracted ET and Elliott sneaked behind them. They turned left, right, right, and left and then made it to the main control room. They saw that We'Z'Knaw was in his chair looking at all his work. Before they could say anything or take another step a cage fell underneath them. We'Z'Knaw laughed evilly as he turned to both ET and Elliott now trapped in the cage.
"Did you honestly think you could defeat me? Guards, bring in the others."
Both Michael and Gertie were put into the cage. Once they were in one of the guards was looking for the key.
Once We'Z'Knaw noticed that they were having trouble he sighed and asked-
"Did you really loose the key? You know what, just guard the cage until we find that key."
The guard then saluted him as We'Z'Knaw and the other guards looked for the key. None of them knew that Michael actually swiped it from the guard when he or she didn't notice. Once Elliott, Gertie, and ET noticed that Michael than whispered to them.
"When I say "now" rip out the cage polls and get ready for a throw some crap down."
Michael than threw the key without the guard noticing. The guard heard the noise of them hitting the floor then saw them and said-
"Oh, there it is."
Once the guard walked to it Michael screamed
"NOW!"
Once he did the four of them pulled out the polls.
