CUT TO: CIA CONTROL CENTER

EXT. CONTROL CENTER- NIGHT

ONE OF THE CIA WORKERS GETS THE SIGNAL FROM AGENT MILES AND GOES TO THE THE DIRECTOR WITH THEM.

[CIA Worker]

Director Myers, we've just picked up a distress beacon from Agent Miles. From what I'm picking up he seems to be in the air.

[Director Myers]

In the air? Whoever's got them must have something capable of flight.

DIRECTOR MYERS TAKES OUT HIS PHONE AND THEN CALLS COSMIC.

CUT TO: SKY

EXT. SKY- NIGHT

AS COSMIC IS FLYING AROUND IN THE AIR HIS PHONE BEGINS TO RING AND THEN HE ANSWERS IT.

[Cosmic]

Hello?

[Director Myers]

(Over the phone)

Cosmic, our guys have just picked up the distress beacon and they say it's in the air. Look for some kind of aircraft, that's where they're most likely to be.

[Cosmic]

Great, so I'm looking for UFOs.

COSMIC FLIES UP INTO THE AIR ABOVE THE CLOUDS AND THEN SEES THE CLEST SPACECRAFT.

[Cosmic]

I think I found them.

[Director Myers]

(Over the phone)

Alright, get our men and get out of there.

[Cosmic]

Right.

COSMIC HANGS UP THE PHONE AND THEN FLIES OVER TO THE SPACECRAFT. THERE HE USES ENERGY BEAMS TO BURN A HOLE INTO THE SIDE OF THE SHIP THEN HE FLIES INTO THE SHIP AND BEGINS TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND. WHEN COSMIC RUNS INTO A FEW OF THE CLEST THEY YELL AT HIM AND THEN START CHARGING AT HIM. 

[Clest Grunt]

Stop right there lower lifeform!

[Cosmic]

Who are you calling a lower lifeform?

[Clest Grunt]

Get off of our ship!

[Cosmic]

How about you make me.

THE CLEST GRUNTS JUMP INTO THE AIR AND TRY TO GRAB COSMIC BUT HE ZIPS AROUND THEM AND THEN BLAST THEM BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR OF THE SHIP. HE THEN CONTINUES TO FLY AROUND THE SHIP FIGHTING OFF ALL OF THE CLEST GRUNTS THAT COME HIS WAY.

[Cosmic]

Wish that I had some bug spray.

COSMIC FINALLY GETS TO WHERE THE SOLDIERS AND AGENT MILES ARE.

[Cosmic]

Hey, there you guys are. 

THE TWO CLEST GRUNTS GUARDING THEM CHARGE AT COSMIC BUT HE BLASTS THEM BOTH BACK ACROSS THE FLOOR. DR. EALN THEN PULLS THE ALARM SWITCH CAUSING CLEST GRUNTS TO COME IN FROM EVERYWHERE. COSMIC THEN BEGINS FIGHTING OFF ALL OF THE CLEST GRUNTS AS THEY ATTACK. ONCE HE BEATS THEM ALL, COSMIC LANDS ON THE GROUND THEN GOES OVER TO WHERE AGENT MILES AND AND THE OTHER SOLDIERS ARE.

[Cosmic]

Alright, let's get you guys out of here.

[Soldier#5]

Wait, we need that one. 

COSMIC LOOKS BACK AS DR. EALN TRIES TO GET AWAY AND THEN FLIES OVER AND GRABS HIM.

[Cosmic]

I don't know why you would want this thing.

[Dr. Ealn]

How dare you refer to me in such a manner you putrid, lower lifeform?! Unhand me at once!

[Cosmic]

Settle down you overgrown cockroach.

SUDDENLY DOORS OPEN AND GENERAL TROUZ ALONG WITH MORE CLEST GRUNTS COME INTO THE ROOM.

[General Trouz]

You would be wise to do what he says.

[Cosmic]

Really and are you going to make me?

GENERAL TROUZ GROWS IN SIZE TO ABOUT 15 FEET TALL.

[Cosmic]

Well, that's not good.

GENERAL TROUZ SMACKS COSMIC BACK THROUGH THE AIR AND COSMIC SLAMS INTO A WALL.

[General Trouz]

I don't know what you are but you're not like the other humans.

[Cosmic]

Really, what tipped you off.

[General Trouz]

You dare mock me?

[Cosmic]

I do what I can.

COSMIC FLIES OVER TO WHERE AGENT MILES AND THE SOLDIERS ARE.

[Cosmic]

I saw what looked like some escape pods not too far back. You guys can use them to get off this thing. I'll keep them busy.

[Agent Miles]

Right. Let's move!

AGENT MILES AND THE SOLDIERS START OFF.

[General Trouz]

No one is leaving!

COSMIC SHOOTS GENERAL TROUZ IN THE CHEST WITH AN ENERGY BEAM AND SENDS HIM FLYING BACKWARDS. COSMIC THEN FLIES OVER TO HIM AND THEN TACKLES HIM INTO THE WALL. GENERAL TROUZ THEN GRABS COSMIC BY THE WASTE AND THROWS HIM BACK THROUGH THE AIR THEN HE JUMPS UP AND PUNCHES COSMIC BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND.

[General Trouz]

Go after the humans!

THE CLEST GRUNTS TAKE OFF AFTER AGENT MILES AND THE SOLDIERS.

[General Trouz]

Who would have thought that the humans had a being like you on the earth? You'll make for a fine specimen.

[Cosmic]

Sorry, I'm no one's guinea pig.

[General Trouz]

Then you can die!

GENERAL TROUZ STEPS ON COSMIC AND HE HOLDS HIM FOOT UP.

[Cosmic]

Oh man, now I know how all those roaches felt.

COSMIC FLIES UP FROM UNDER THE FOOT OF GENERAL TROUZ AND FIRES SOME ENERGY BEAMS IN HIS FACE. GENERAL TROUZ THEN SWIPES AT COSMIC WHO MOVES IN CLOSER AND BEGINS TO PUNCH GENERAL TROUZ IN THE FACE. ON COSMIC'S LAST ATTACK THEGENERAL TROUZ GRABS HIM BY THE ARM AND THEN BEGINS TO SWING HIM INTO THE WALLS. HE THEN GRABS COSMIC AND BEGINS TO SQUEEZE HIM.

[General Trouz]

Once I dispose of you, the rest of the humans are next.

[Cosmic]

Sorry, I didn't plan on dying today.

COSMIC MUSCLES HIS WAY OUT OF GENERAL TROUZ'S HANDS AND THEN FLIES OFF. AS GENERAL TROUZ GIVES CHASE COSMIC STOPS ON A WALL. HE THEN JUMPS OVER GENERAL TROUZ AS HE TRIES TO PUNCH HIM AND KICKS GENERAL TROUZ INTO THE WALL. COSMIC THEN FIRES AT THE CEILING ABOVE GENERAL TROUZ MAKING THE DEBRIS FALL ONTO HIM. COSMIC THEN FLIES OFF TO WHERE THE SOLDIERS AND AGENT MILES ARE AND FIGHTS OFF THE CLEST GRUNTS ATTACKING THEM.

[Cosmic]

You guys aren't gone yet?

[Agent Miles]

We can't read this stuff.

COSMIC GOES OVER TO ONE OF THE ESCAPE PODS AND FORCES IT OPEN. THUDDING SOUNDS CAN BE HEARD AS GENERAL TROUZ COMES RUNS BACK TO WHERE THEY ARE.

[Soldier#3]

That thing is headed our way!

[Cosmic]

Everybody in!

AGENT MILES AND THE SOLDIERS GET INTO THE ESCAPE POD AND COSMIC DISPATCHES IT FROM THE SHIP. HE THEN FLIES INTO THE AIR TO AVOID BEING HIT BY GENERAL TROUZ.

[General Trouz]

You're going to pay for that?

[Cosmic]

Fat chance!

[General Trouz]

Do not allow him to escape!

AS COSMIC FLIES OUT OF THE SHIP ONE OF THE CLEST GRUNTS GRAB ONTO HIM. COSMIC THEN GRABS THE GRUNT AND SPINS AROUND AT A HIGH SPEED THEN THROWS IT DOWN TO THE GROUND. COSMIC SEEING THE ESCAPE POD CRASHING FLIES OVER TO WHERE IT IS AND CATCHES IT BEFORE IFT HITS THE GROUND. HE THEN LOOKS UP TO SEE THE CLEST SHIP FLYING AWAY. ONCE COSMIC GETS THE ESCAPE POD OPEN HE FLIES OFF BACK INTO THE AIR AND CHARGES AN ATTACK. HE THEN FIRES AND TAKES OUT ONE OF THE ENGINES CAUSING THE SHIP TO FALL TO THE GROUND AND EXPLODE. COSMIC THEN GOES BACK TO WHERE THE SOLDIERS ARE AND AGENT MILES APPROACHES HIM.

[Agent Miles]

Good job kid.

[Cosmic]

No problem.

THERE IS THE SOUND OF SOMETHING CLICKING AND COSMIC GOES OVER TO WHERE IT IS. HE THEN FINDS THE CLEST GRUNT THAT HE THREW AND PICKS IT UP.

[Cosmic]

I found one of them. Maybe might be able to get some answers out of it.

COSMIC PULLS OUT HIS PHONE AND CALLS DIRECTOR MYERS.

[Cosmic]

I recovered Agent Miles and the soldiers. We're in the desert.

[Director Myers]

(Over the phone)

Right, I'm sending a group of vehicles to your location. Was anyone harmed?

[Cosmic]

It doesn't appear that way.

[Director Myers]

(Over the phone)

And what about the enemy ship?

[Cosmic]

I shot it down. I'll show your men to its location when they get here.

[Director Myers]

(Over the phone)

Good deal. Myers out.

DIRECTOR MYERS HANGS UP THE PHONE AND THEN COSMIC WALKS BACK OVER TO THE SOLDIERS WITH THE CLEST GRUNT IN HIS HAND. ONE OF THE SOLDIER TRIES TO ATTACK THE CLEST GRUNT BUT COSMIC STOPS HIM.

[Cosmic]

Hey, knock it off!

[Solder#4]

You want to keep that thing alive? Those things killed our men.

[Cosmic]

Yeah, but it's a lead and possibly the only one that we've got. We can question it and find out what it and it the others wanted. Killing it at least right now won't do us any good.

[Agent Miles]

Good thinking kid. Once we get some answers then we can kill it.

[Cosmic]

Why couldn't we get the aliens that come in peace?

CUT TO: LATER

EXT. INTERIGATION ROOM- NIGHT

AS THE CLEST GRUNT SITS IN A CHAIR DIRECTOR MYERS, COSMIC, AND AGENT MILES COME INTO THE ROOM.

[Director Myers]

Alright, I don't have all night. Out with it! What were you doing on earth?

[Clest Grunt]

How dare... you lower lifeforms talk to me like that?

[Cosmic]

We check the site of the crash. If there are any of your buddies alive then they weren't there. From what it looks like you seem to be in pain. How about you tell us what you know and we put you out of your misery.

[Clest Grunt]

... We are the Clest. We are a strong race of () that seek to make the universe a better place. We came here to take over as your world is chaotic.

[Director Myers]

Who says that we need your help?

[Clest Grunt]

All beings at one point or another develop the means to intergalactic travel. The human race is feral and needs to be tamed before that happens. You waste everything and are destroying your own planet. We, however, would not let this planet, like any other that we have conquered go to waste. We will take over this planet like all the rest and the glory of the Clest will prevail to all the reaches of the galaxy!

[Cosmic]

Sorry, we don't like being conquered. Haven't you seen Indepence Day?

[Clest Grunt]

It doesn't matter if you want to be conquered or not, it's going to happen. And no one will be able to stop it. Not even you.

[Director Myers]

I guess we have our answers. Kill it.

[Cosmic]

Are you sure?

[Director Myers]

It's only fair considering all the men that we lost.

COSMIC THINKS FOR A SECOND AND THEN SHOOTS A HOLE THROUGH THE CLEST GRUNT'S CHEST. THE CLEST GRUNT THEN FALLS OVER ON THE FLOOR. COSMIC, DIRECTOR MYERS, AND AGENT MILES THEN LEAVE THE ROOM. DIRECTOR MYERS THEN GOES OVER TO ONE OF THE SCIENTIST.

[Director Myers]

Have your guys dissect the alien in that room. I want to know everything about it.

[Scientest]

Yes, sir.

THE SCIENTIST AND SOME OF HIS GUYS GET THE CLEST GRUNT AND START TRANSPORTING IT BACK TO THEIR LABS. COSMIC THEN GOES TO KATTELL'S CELL AND SHE HISSES AT HIM.

[Cosmic]

How have things been with her?

[Agent Miles]

All attempts to communicate with her have been unsuccessful on account of her feral nature. One of our linguists was almost killed trying to talk to her.

[Cosmic]

Well, maybe I can get her to talk. At least if she attacks me I have a fighting chance of making it out alive.

[Director Myers]

Do you really think you can do it?

[Cosmic]

Possibly. I feel like I owe it to her.

[Agent Miles]

And why is that?

[Cosmic]

She was just trying to get Peace to come back with her. From what I've heard her people are in a lot of trouble on her planet. Something similar to what the Native Americans were going through when the colonist first showed up. She may know of a way that I can get to Peace. And she deserves the opportunity to redeem herself.

[Director Myers]

Well if you think you can get her to talk then be my guest. Let's see what you got.

DIRECTOR MYERS HAS ONE OF THE GUARDS UNLOCK THE DOOR AND COSMIC WALKS INTO THE CELL WITH KATTELL. SHE THEN BEGINS TO GROWL AND COSMIC PUTS HIS HANDS UP.

[Cosmic]

Hold on, hold on. I'm not here to fight. I want to try and talk to you. Is that okay?

KATTELL CHARGES AT COSMIC AND SWIPES AT HIM. COSMIC DODGES HER ATTACK AND THEN FLIES UP INTO THE AIR. KATTELL THEN JUMPS UP, KICKS OFF THE WALL AND THEN GRABS COSMIC. KATTELL THEN BEGINS TO SCRATCH COSMIC SO HE GRABS HER AND THROWS HER DOWN TO THE FLOOR. KATTELL STARTS UP TO HER FEET AND COSMIC LANDS BESIDE HER.

[Cosmic]

Listen, Peace is something that we have in common and I know that you came here to try and get her to go back with you.

[Kattell]

Peace... was all that my... people had. And you... took her away!

KATTELL STARTS SWIPING AT COSMIC AND HE DODGES HER ATTACKS. HE THEN GRABS HER BY HER ARMS AND WRAPS THEM AROUND HER OWN BODY RESTRAINING HER.

[Cosmic]

Will you just listen to me?!

[Kattell]

No! I'll kill you!

KATTELL HEADBUTTS COSMIC THEN GETS OUT OF HIS HOLD. SHE THEN SPINS AROUND AND CUTS COSMIC ACROSS THE CHEST. COSMIC THEN GETS MAD AND SHOOT A BEAM AT HER THAT KNOCKS HER BACK ACROSS THE FLOOR. HE THEN WALKS OVER TO WHERE SHE IS AND HOLD HIS HAND UP AT HER THREATING TO SHOOT ANOTHER BLAST.

[Cosmic]

I came in here to try and help you! But all you seem to want to do is fight!

[Kattell]

Peace wouldn't leave... because of you and... this world!

[Cosmic]

I realize that! But Peace has been taken back to the Subjugators. And I have no idea how to get to her.

KATTELL LOOKS AWAY. COSMIC PUTS HIS HAND DOWN AND KNEELS DOWN BESIDE KATTELL.

[Cosmic]

Look, Kattell, I know that you came her to try and get Peace to come back with you and I know that when you learned that she wanted to stay that made you angry but you can't react the way that you did. That's just not how things work here.

KATTELL BEGINS TO CRY.

[Kattell]

She loved you... more than us. I know that she was happier here... than with the Subjugators. But my people... we are dying because she's not there. We needed her... and she didn't care.

[Cosmic]

I'm sorry.

COSMIC HUGS KATTELL.

[Cosmic]

If it means anything I want to help you get her back because I want to see her again too. I want to see Peace happy.

COSMIC LETS GO OF KATTELL AND LOOKS HER IN THE EYE.

[Cosmic]

But we're not going to be able to do any of that unless we work together. Is there anything at all that you can tell me that would help me get to Peace?

KATTELL LOOKS AWAY AND THINKS FOR A SECOND.

[Kattell]

The ship that I came in. I can show you where it is.

[Cosmic]

You're getting better with your speech.

[Kattell]

If you repair it you can get back to the Subjugators.

[Cosmic]

That's just what I need then. If I can convince them to let you out of here you have to promise me that you will lead me directly to your ship. That's the only way that I can help them to better trust you.

[Kattell]

Straight to the ship. I promise.

[Cosmic]

Alright. I'll see what I can do about them. Remember what you said.

COSMIC GETS UP AND GOES OUT OF THE CELL. HE THEN BEGINS TO HEAL AND DIRECTOR MYERS COMES OVER TO WHERE HE IS.

[Director Myers]

Well, you seem like you had a long chat. What did she say?

[Cosmic]

She said that there's a good chance that if we recover her ship that we can get back to where Peace is.

[Director Myers]

Oh no.

[Cosmic]

What do you mean oh no? I will keep an eye on her. If she tries anything I'll take her down.

[Director Myers]

You want to go after Peace even though it's bound to start up more trouble and put the world at risk.

[Cosmic]

Peace deserves to have a better life than whatever she's going through.

[Director Myers]

Really? Is that what you think?

[Cosmic]

I was thinking she was my friend and that I needed to help her.

[Director Myers]

She came here and stayed knowing that there was the possibility that people would come after here. She's the reason why that giant killer robot attacked the city.

[Cosmic]

She also fought along side me to help protect the city. She also went peacefully when she saw that a family was in danger. She put others above herself now it's time that we did the same for her.

[Director Myers]

From what that thing in there says maybe your perception is a little warped. Just because she helped fight off threats doesn't mean that she wasn't the cause!

[Cosmic]

Okay, fair point. But as long as she was willing to put her life on the line don't you think that this world should be open for anyone?

[Director Myers]

Listen to yourself kid. Things are not that simple anymore. We've got other things to worry about.

[Cosmic]

I don't just abandon my friends. Peace did a lot by going back to the people that meant to keep her in slavery. And you're crazy to think that the people that have her aren't coming here.

[Director Myers]

And what makes you say that?

[Cosmic]

They're planet conquers. All they live for is gain planets and property. You think that they wouldn't come here?

DIRECTOR MYERS DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING.

[Cosmic]

I think that any more proof you need is the dead Clest alien that the scientists are poking around in. Whoever took Peace is going to come here and we need to be ready for them when they get here. We need Peace if not for any other reason than she was trying to help.

[Director Myers]

Alright, enough with the sappy speech. It's too late to try and do anything tonight. You can take her out tomorrow and look around then. But I want to make myself perfectly clear. Anything that happens while you're out is on your head. You and you alone are responsible for what happens. Got it?

[Cosmic]

Yes, sir.

[Director Myers]

Good.

DIRECTOR MYERS WALKS OFF. AGENT MILES THEN WALKS OVER TO COSMIC.

[Agent Miles]

Are you sure this is a good idea kid? I just don't want you biting off more than you can chew.

[Cosmic]

I got this. I just need you to trust me.

[Agent Miles]

Well here's hoping that everything works out for the better.

[Cosmic]

Thanks. I should be getting home.

[Agent Miles]

Yeah, the last thing that we need is your parents involved in this.

[Cosmic]

You can say that again. I'll see you tomorrow.

COSMIC FLIES OUT OF THE BASE AT A HIGH SPEED AND AGENT MILES GOES TO HIS DESK. AGENT MILES LOOKS OVER ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON HIS DESK AND SIGHS.

[Agent Miles]

(To himself)

I have never been more excited to be back at my desk.

AGENT MILES SITS DOWN AT HIS DESK AND BEGINS GOING THROUGH THE PAPERS.
