EXT. PALACE OF THE CONQUERS- NIGHT

APOCALYPSE WALKS INTO HIS CHAMBERS FOLLOWED BY QUEEN COSMIC AND THEY SIT DOWN AT A TABLE WHERE THE REST OF THEIR MEMBERS ARE.

[Apocalypse] 
Brothers, sisters this is an important issue that we have been faced with.

[Devastation] 
Yes, an issue of your ego.

[Apocalypse] 
What was that?

[Devastation] 
We all know why you called this meeting. It's to discuss how we're going to get Peace back, isn't it?

[Apocalypse] 
Let us then discuss the real reason why I am going after her, shall we?

[Mercy] 
Could it be that you love her?

[Strife] 
Apocalypse loves no woman. Not even the one standing beside him.

QUEEN COSMIC GLARES AT STRIFE AND HE SMILES AT HER.

[Misery] 
Let's not get anything started here.

[Apocalypse] 
Misery and Strife you try and do something like that again and I'll kick your teeth in.

[Strife] 
What's the matter supreme leader? Can't handle a few jokes?

APOCALYPSE WALKS OVER TO WHERE STRIFE IS AND PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE THEN GRABS HIM BY THE CLOTHES THAT HE IS WEARING AND PULLS HIM CLOSE SO THAT THEY ARE FACE TO FACE.

[Apocalypse] 
It would be wise keep your mouth shut before I kill you.

[Strife] 
Am I supposed to fear a leader who is obsessed with women instead of focusing on the real task in front of him? I say no to that because you can't do what needs to be done.

[Apocalypse] 
Is that so?

[Strife] 
Let's see it's been 16 years and now after all of your moping you're deciding to do something about what has happened?

[Apocalypse] 
I grow weary of your talk.

[Strife] 
Can't handle it, why don't you do something about it?

[Apocalypse] 
Very well.

APOCALYPSE PUTS HIS FINGER TO STRIFE'S TEMPLE AND SHOOTS A LASER THROUGH HIS HEAD AND STRIFE FALLS TO THE FLOOR.

[Queen Cosmic] 
My husband was that really necessary?

[Apocalypse] 
It was, it should keep him quit for a while.

APOCALYPSE WALKS TO THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.

[Apocalypse] 
I will be sending a drone after Peace but that is for the sole purpose of retrieving the crystal and starting the enslavement of the world that she is on.

[Devastation] 
Who does the devotion go towards?

[Apocalypse]
Well me of course, I am making the efforts to find her.

[Mercy] 
What about me I have the least amount of devoted planets.

[Apocalypse] 
Will you be willing to go to this planet to face Peace?

MERCY LOOKS AWAY.

[Apocalypse]
Fine the first to act to gain he planet's devotion can have them.

[Misery] 
Wait how will you go about finding her?

[Apocalypse] 
Peace was the last of us to join, her crystal was forged of my energy. A drone should be able to trace it.

[Devastation] 
Will the drone be bringing her back?

[Apocalypse] 
Why is that important with such matters at hand?

[Devastation]
She is to be my wife.

STRIFE STANDS UP AFTER THE WOUND HEALS.

[Strife] 
Oh yeah, that's right. You and stupid over there were never at the best of terms so when you found Peace he demanded that you not soil her so that she could be your bride and this little kingdom of ours could live on in reconciliation. But where's the fun in all that?

[Devastation] 
You sure live up to your namesake.

[Strife] 
Oh but you know I have to.

[Apocalypse] 
How long do you all plan to squabble in your stupidity?

[Strife] 
Well if Peace has shown us anything, she's shown us that you're soft and with the slightest effort, we can pull away from this shit hole and not even get a scratch.

[Apocalypse] 
What are you saying?

[Strife] 
I mean that you could have done way worse to her than you did. Why not do to her what you just did to me?

[Apocalypse] 
Does it matter, Peace has grown in power and I saw no real exertion from you when we battled her?

[Strife] 
But I was not the one trying to stop her.

[Apocalypse] 
We were all trying to stop her. I don't know what you're trying to prove here but it will not work.

[Strife] 
Maybe not, but I was just proving a point.

[Apocalypse] 
If you're done how about you shut up and keep your comments to yourself?

[Strife] 
Sure thing fierce leader, command us.

[Apocalypse] 
If no one has any means of interjection I would like to recap this meeting. The retrieval of Peace and of her crystal is at hand. The devotion of the planet goes to me. This meeting is now at end you all may leave.

DEVASTATION, MERCY, MISERY, QUEEN COSMIC, AND STRIFE ALL LEAVE APOCALYPSE'S CHAMBERS THEN APOCALYPSE GOES TO A HIGH TECH COMPUTER IN HIS ROOM. HE THEN TYPES THE DEMAND FOR A DRONE TO TRACK DOWN PEACE AND ELIMINATE HER.

CUT TO: DRONE HANGER

EXT. PLATFORM- NIGHT

A DRONE WALKS TO THE CENTER OF A PLATFORM AND THEN TRANSFORMS INTO A POD LIKE SHAPE, IT THEN SHOOTS OFF IN THE NIGHT SKY ON THE COURSE FOR EARTH.

CUT TO: EARTH

EXT. DESSERT- AFTERNOON

PEACE MAKES A BALL OF ENERGY IN HER HAND.

[Peace] 
You will learn how to do this.

[Izzy] 
We've been at this all day, can't we do this tomorrow or something?

[Peace] 
No, we need to try and get you use to these new powers as soon as possible. There's no time to waste. Now concentrate and try your best.

[Izzy] 
Fine.

IZZY HOLDS OUT HIS HAND AND THEN STARTS TRYING TO FORM ENERGY. FOCUSING ON THE MIDDLE OF HIS HAND HE IS ASTONISHED AS ENERGY BEGINS TO APPEAR.

[Izzy] 
I'm doing it.

AS MORE ENERGY BEGINS TO FORM IN HIS HAND IT BECOMES MORE VIOLENT AND BEGINS TO BURN HIS HAND.

[Izzy] 
Ouch, it's stinging me.

[Peace] 
Ignore the pain for right now, you just need to get it off of the surface of your hand.

[Izzy] 
Okay, I'll try.

AS IZZY CONTINUES TO FORM MORE ENERGY HE LOSSES HIS FOCUS AND THE ENERGY DISAPPEARS. LOOKING AT HIS HAND IZZY SEES THAT IT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY BURNED.

[Peace] 
It would seem that you are not able to get the energy away from your skin.

[Izzy] 
Yeah, this is hurting like crazy.

[Peace] 
We have practiced long enough, let's get you home.

PEACE TAKES IZZY BY THEN HAND AND THEN SHE FLIES HIM HOME. GETTING TO IZZY'S BACKYARD HE GOES INTO THE HOUSE AND THEN THEY SNEAK UP TO HIS ROOM.

[Peace]
Why do we sneak around like this?

[Izzy]
Well, I don't know how my mom would feel about me having a 25-year-old woman over, not to mention you're an alien.

[Peace] 
Oh, I'm not 25.

[Izzy] 
26?

[Peace] 
No.

[Izzy] 
27?

[Peace] 
No.

[Izzy] 
How old are you?

[Peace] 
I lost count, but I know I'm like 1,000 something.

[Izzy] 
What?!

IZZY CLOSES HIS DOOR.

[Izzy] 
How can you be that old?

[Peace] 
The cosmic crystal that I have keeps me alive.

[Izzy] 
So what powers do you have that I will get?

[Peace] 
Strength beyond your wildest dreams, you will be able to travel through space and draw power from the universe itself to make you stronger. You will also be able to live longer because of the crystal's power.

[Izzy] 
That sounds cool. I wonder.

IZZY GOES OVER TO HIS DRESSER AND THEN PICKS IT UP AS IF IT WERE A CARDBOARD BOX.

[Izzy] 
It looks like I already have super strength.

[Peace] 
Seems so.

IZZY PUTS THE DRESSER DOWN.

[Peace] 
I think that you're only stronger because the crystal's power has a way to directly get to you. Any other time a person would have to work up their strength.

[Izzy] 
That's one thing that I won't have to do.

[Peace] 
You should heal faster now as well. Look at your hand.

IZZY LOOKS AT HIS HAND THEN SEES THAT THE BURNS HAVE ALMOST HEALED.

[Izzy] 
The burn is almost gone.

[Peace] 
Yeah.

IZZY'S DOOR FLIES OPEN AND PEACE TELEPORTS BEFORE HIS MOTHER CAN SEE HER.

[Izzy] 
Mom, what the hay?

[Mrs. Perkins]
Who are you talking to?

[Izzy] 
No one.

MRS. PERKINS LOOKS AT IZZY.

[Mrs. Perkins] 
Izzy, have you been working out?

[Izzy] 
No, what makes you ask that?

[Mrs. Perkins] 
You seem more muscular.

[Izzy] 
No nothing like that Mom.

[Mrs. Perkins] 
And you're sure that you're not talking to yourself?

[Izzy] 
I'm sure can you please close the door now I was going to change.

[Mrs. Perkins] 
...Okay. Are you doing what young boys do?

[Izzy]

What?

IZZY THINKS FOR A SECOND AND THEN LOOKS AT HIS MOM.

[Izzy]

Mom that's gross!

[Mrs. Perkins]

Well, you know.

[Izzy]

Well, I wasn't doing that.

[Mrs. Perkins]

Okay.

MRS. PERKINS CLOSES THE DOOR. IZZY THEN BREATHES AND PEACE TELEPORTS BACK INTO HIS ROOM.

[Peace] 
(Whispering)
Did she suspect anything?

[Izzy] 
(Whispering)
No, she didn't. Hey, do you mind standing on that side of the room so that if she comes back in she won't see you?

[Peace]
(Whispering) 
Sure.

PEACE MOVES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROOM.

[Izzy]
(Whispering) 
Also, could you close your eyes or something I want to change clothes?

[Peace]
(Whispering)
It wouldn't really matter I know what you look like naked.

[Izzy] 
(Whispering) 
Stop being weird.

PEACE CLOSES HER EYES AND IZZY CHANGES INTO HIS FAVORITE JACKET AND JEANS.

[Izzy]
(Whispering) 
You can open your eyes now.

PEACE OPENS HER EYES.

[Peace] 
(Whispering) 
Why did you change your clothes?

[Izzy] 
(Whispering) 
I'm about to go to the space museum with some friends. You want to come?

[Peace] 
(Whispering) 
Sure.

IZZY AND PEACE WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE AND THEN HEAD TO THE SPACE MUSEUM.

[Peace] 
So you like space?

[Izzy] 
Yeah. I want to be an astronaut one day.

[Peace] 
Once you get your powers down you will be able to go to space whenever you want.

[Izzy] 
Really?

[Peace] 
Yeah, we can go together and I'll show you everything there is to know.

[Izzy] 
So you mean you can go into outer space whenever you feel like it?

[Peace] 
Yes.

IZZY IS QUIET FOR A SECOND.

[Peace] 
What is it?

[Izzy] 
Can I ask you a favor?

[Peace] 
What?

[Izzy] 
It was never confirmed that my dad's space ship was destroyed, do you think that there is any way that you could maybe... go up there and take a look for it.

[Peace]
I could, but I won't.

[Izzy] 
What? Why not?

[Peace] 
Izzy, the world isn't ready for what we are.

[Izzy] 
What do you mean us?

[Peace] 
You are a demi cosmic being.

[Izzy] 
But what do you mean the world isn't ready for us?

[Peace] 
Your race sees everything that they can't understand as a threat.

[Izzy] 
We just need to show them that we're on their side.

[Peace] 
This isn't a comic book Izzy. We can't just force ourselves into the world saying that we're on their side and expect for them to listen.

[Izzy] 
Yeah, I suppose.

[Peace] 
If it makes any difference I will go up there tonight and have a look around.

[Izzy] 
Really?

[Peace] 
Yes.

[Izzy] 
Thanks so much.

THEY CONTINUE TO WALK TO THE MUSEUM. ARRIVING THERE IZZY MEETS UP WITH LANCE AND SAMANTHA.

[Izzy] 
Hey guys.

[Lance] 
You're late.

[Izzy] 
Sorry I was with my cousin Angel.

[Lance] 
Hey Izzy can I talk to you for a sec?

[Izzy] 
Sure.

LANCE PULLS IZZY TO THE SIDE WHILE SAMANTHA AND ANGEL BEGIN TO TALK.

[Lance] 
Who is she?

[Izzy] 
Dude chill she's cool.

[Lance] 
Dude, she's hot! Is she your girlfriend?

[Izzy] 
No, I said she was my cousin. Dude don't be weird.

[Lance] 
I'm not I swear, but how did you get her to go out with you?

[Izzy] 
We're not a thing Lance.

[Lance] 
So does that mean that I can hit on her?

[Izzy] 
You can try if you want.

[Lance] 
Sweet!

IZZY AND LANCE GO BACK OVER TO WHERE SAMANTHA AND ANGEL ARE.

[Lance] 
We're back ladies, and oh dear, I'm sorry about Izzy's manners.

[Izzy] 
What the heck are you talking about?

LANCE TAKES ONE OF ANGELS HANDS AND KNEELS DOWN.

[Lance] 
My dear sweet angel, what is your name?

[Angel] 
My name is Angel.

[Lance] 
Oh my goodness, your parents much be so proud. They picked the perfect name for the perfect girl.

SAMANTHA HITS LANCE OVER THE HEAD AND THEN DRAGS HIM AWAY.

[Samantha] 
Quit being so weird she's way out of your league anyway.

[Izzy] 
Sorry about him, he really can't control himself.

[Angel] 
It's okay. It was flattering.

[Izzy] 
Let's go.

[Angel] 
Where?

[Izzy] 
You'll see.

THE WALK TO A LAB AND ONE OF THE WORKERS IS THERE.

[Lance] 
Dr. Cooper.

DR. COOPER TURNS AROUND HIS CHAIR AND THEN GETS UP TO GREET THEM.

[Dr. Cooper] 
Hello, are you all ready continue where we left off?

[Lance] 
Yes.

[Angel] 
What are you guys making?

[Dr. Cooper] 
Oh, I see that you've brought a guest.

[Angel] 
Yes, I'm Izzy's cousin. My name is Angel.

[Dr. Cooper] 
Really? Well, what we have been working on is an energy tracking device.

[Angel] 
What is it supposed to do?

[Samantha] 
It's supposed to be able to detect any form of energy and then tell the exact quantity of it.

[Angel] 
Interesting.

THEY ALL CONTINUE TO HELP DR. COOPER FINISH THE ENERGY DETECTOR AND WHEN IT'S COMPLETE THE END RESULT IS A COMPUTER CONSOLE SIZE CONTRAPTION.

[Dr. Cooper] 
I think it's finished.

[Lance] 
Let's try it out.

LANCE TURNS THE DEVICE ON AND THEN IT SCANS THE ROOM IT THEN BRINGS UP ALL POSSIBLE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE ROOM AND HOW MUCH OF IT THERE IS. DR. COOPER THEN CHECKS THE DEVICES SCANNER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WORKING RIGHT.

[Dr. Cooper] 
It looks like its working right, but I can't be sure.

[Lance] 
What's wrong?

[Dr. Cooper] 
It's picking some sort of unknown energy source and I don't know what it could be but it's off the charts.

[Lance] 
Let me see.

[Dr. Cooper] 
Sure take a look.

LANCE LOOKS AT THE METERS.

[Lance] 
He's right, the only thing else that's at the level of the unknown energy source is the electricity in here.

[Samantha] 
So what do you think it could be Dr. Cooper?

[Dr. Cooper] 
Not sure but whatever it is, it's a spectacular source of energy.

DR. COOPER LOOKS AT THE CLOCK IN THE ROOM.

[Dr. Cooper] 
Well, kids looks like we're out of time.

[Lance] 
Already?

[Samantha] 
We can start on the laser shooter next week.

[Dr. Cooper] 
Seems like a plan. I'll be seeing you kids later.

IZZY AND THE OTHERS LEAVE THE LAB.

[Lance] 
So what do you guys think that energy source was?

[Izzy] 
Could have been anything.

[Samantha] 
Who knows it could have just been some faulty wiring brought on by Lance.

[Lance] 
Fat chance, I followed that book to the letter and Dr. Cooper made sure that the wiring was right.

[Samantha] 
Who really cares what it was anyway?

[Lance] 
Yeah, just seems like it would be something like faulty wiring.

LEAVING THE LAB IZZY AND THE OTHERS HEAD TO LANCE'S HOUSE. WHILE WALKING THERE THEY WALK PAST THE FOOTBALL PRACTICE FIELD OF THEIR SCHOOL. ON THE FIELD BIFF CATCHES THE BALL THEN LOOKS OVER TO SEE IZZY, LANCE, SAMANTHA, AND ANGEL.

[Biff] 
Hey look at that, wonder if that loser can catch a ball.

BIFF THROWS THE FOOTBALL AND JUST AS IZZY IS ABOUT TO GET HIT BY IT HE CATCHES IT WITH ONE HAND. BIFF THEN FLINCHES AT THE IDEA OF IZZY DOING WHAT HE DID AND THEN IZZY LOOKS AT BIFF WITH AN ANGRY FACE. BIFF THEN LAUGH AND STARTS OVER TO WHERE THEY ARE AND IZZY STARTS OVER TO HIM.

[Lance] 
What are you doing?

[Izzy] 
Just stay right there and pipe down.

[Lance] 
Whatever it's your funeral.

[Samantha] 
You don't have to do this don't stoop to his level.

IZZY KEEPS WALKING AND MEETS BIFF WHERE HE STANDS.

[Biff] 
You got something you want to get off your chest loser?

[Izzy] 
Yeah the next time that you throw this ball at me you won't be getting it back.

[Biff] 
Who do you think that you're talking to?

[Izzy] 
You it should be obvious shouldn't it?

[Biff] 
You're pissing me off.

[Izzy] 
Just take your ball and shut up.

IZZY SHOVES THE FOOT BALL INTO BIFF'S CHEST AND THEN SHOVES BIFF TO THE GROUND WITH SHEER FORCE.

[Biff] 
What the heck is going on? I'm way stronger than you and I know it.

[Izzy] 
You're too sure of yourself. Hit the gym some more loser. 

IZZY SMIRKS AND THEN WALKS OFF TO JOIN THE OTHERS. THEY THEN START OFF WALKING AGAIN.

[Lance] 
I can't believe this.

[Samantha] 
Yeah, someone stood up to Biff and didn't get their butt handed to them.

BACK ON THE FIELD TWO OTHER FOOTBALL PLAYERS HELP BIFF UP AND HE SNATCHES AWAY FROM THEM.

[Football player#1] 
Man, would you look at that?

[Football player#2] 
Yeah, you got handled by a nerd.

[Biff] 
Shut up!

BIFF LOOKS AT IZZY AND THE OTHER WHILE THEY WALK AWAY AND THEN THROWS THE FOOTBALL TO THE GROUND. HE THEN PUTS HIS FIST INTO HIS HAND.

[Biff] 
All I know is that he is going to pay for what he just did.

CUT TO: LANCE'S HOUSE

EXT. LANCE'S FRONT DOOR- AFTERNOON

[Lance] 
You guys can eat here if you like.

[Samantha] 
Okay, I'm starved.

[Izzy] 
Yeah, I could go for some food.

THEY ALL GO INTO LANCE'S HOUSE AND SIT DOWN IN THE LIVING ROOM AND THEN LANCE'S FATHER COME AND SITS IN THE ROOM.

[Mr. Waters] 
Hello everyone. And who might you be miss?

[Angel] 
My name is Angel, I'm Izzy's cousin.

[Mr. Waters] 
Oh. Well, welcome to the Water's home.

MRS. WATERS WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

[Mrs. Waters] 
Are you here to eat?

[Lance] 
Yes, I invited them if it's not that big of a deal.

[Mrs. Waters] 
No, it's fine. There's enough to go around. It's ready now so everyone come dig in.

THEY ALL GO INTO THE KITCHEN AND MAKE PLATES AND THEN EAT AND THEN SAMANTHA LOOKS AT THE CLOCK THAT IS IN THE KITCHEN.

[Samantha] 
Oh man, it's later than I thought. I have to be home.

[Izzy] 
I can walk you home if you want.

[Samantha] 
Well okay.

IZZY, SAMANTHA, AND PEACE ALL PUT THEIR DISHES IN THE SINK.

[Izzy] 
Mr. and Mrs. Waters thank you for the food.

[Mrs. Waters] 
You're welcome.

IZZY, SAMANTHA, AND ANGEL ALL THEN LEAVE AND IZZY WALKS HER TO HER HOUSE.

[Samantha] 
You were quiet on this walk.

[Izzy] 
Sorry I was just thinking.

[Samantha]
I thought that the way you stood up to Biff today was cool. Keep that up and you'll rule the school.

[Izzy] 
Sorry.

[Samantha] 
For what?

[Izzy] 
I know that you don't like it when someone stoops down a level. But let's just say I
