EXT. DIRECTOR MYER'S OFFICE - NIGHT

AS DIRECTOR MYERS IS ABOUT TO LEAVE HIS OFFICE, THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. DIRECTOR MYERS OPENS THE DOOR TO SEE COSMIC AND ORORLA.

[Director Myers]

Hello, Cosmic. I must admit, I wasn't expecting to see you tonight. However, I suppose if you would come here directly, then something is afoot. And who is this young lady?

[Cosmic]

She's a friend, also a refugee. I need your help.

[Director Myers]

If you're going to ask me to put her up in a room, I must remind you that this is not a motel. We have holding cells for criminals.

[Cosmic]

Yes, I'm aware. However, they are rooms and as such can be used for a variety of different circumstances such as my friend here who needs a room.

[Director Myers]

Let me talk to you for a second kid.

DIRECTOR MYERS TO BE MOTIONED INTO HIS OFFICE AND STOPS ORORLA AT THE DOOR.

[Director Myers]

Sorry, just him. It won't be too long.

DIRECTOR MYERS CLOSES THE DOOR, GOES OVER TO HIS DESK, AND FLIPS A SWITCH UNDER IT THAT ACTIVATES A SOUNDPROOFING FIELD THROUGH THE ROOM.

[Cosmic]

What's this all about?

[Director Myers]

Well, now that I have secured the room I figure that we can talk a little more freely.

[Cosmic]

Yes, so what do you want?

[Director Myers]

What I want is to know how much you know about her.

[Cosmic]

I know that she needs help.

[Director Myers]

That's not good enough. Lots of people need things it's in your best interest to look out for number one. What if this is some kind of trap? She could be working for the Clest.

[Cosmic]

Are you serious? Look me in the eye and tell me you believe what you're saying.

[Director Myers]

We don't know what they're capable of. Maybe they have some kind of cloaking technology and they've sent that honey trap your way to throw you off your game.

[Cosmic]

Let's just say that for a second, I believe what you're saying. How the hell is anyone supposed to trust anyone? You could be a Clest or I could be a Clest.

[Director Myers]

That could be a possibility.

COSMIC LETS OUT A SIGH OF FRUSTRATION.

[Cosmic]

She's not a Clest spy okay? Stop being so paranoid and just let her stay here until I can deal with the guys hunting her. 

[Director Myers]

Maybe you're right. Maybe you're not. Choices have consequences and I guess we'll just have to see where this all ends up taking us.

[Cosmic]

Thank you.

[Director Myers]

You won't get a response from me about that. Whatever happens, it's your neck on the chopping block.

[Cosmic]

That's reassuring.

DIRECTOR MYERS SHUTS DOWN THE FIELD THEN HE AND COSMIC WALK OUT OF THE ROOM TO GREET ORORLA.

[Ororla]

So what's going on?

[Cosmic]

You can definitely stay here for the night. However, it's not exactly a five-star hotel. They're holding cells for alien criminals but I will get you out as soon as I can.

[Ororla]

As uncomfortable as it might be, I guess it's my only choice at the movement. It's better than having to be cooped up in that ship all night.

[Director Myers]

Please, follow me.

DIRECTOR MYERS LEADS ORORLA TO A HOLDING CELL, OPENS IT, ALLOWS ORORLA TO GET INSIDE, AND THEN CLOSES THE DOOR. COSMIC THEN STANDS AT THE DOOR.

[Cosmic]

I'm gonna fix this.

[Ororla]

No, I want to fight back against my oppressors. Promise me that you'll aid me in doing so.

[Cosmic]

I promise.

[Ororla]

Tomorrow, we'll take the fight to them.

[Cosmic]

See you then.

COSMIC LEAVES. ORORLA THEN LOOKS AT DIRECTOR MYERS WHO GLARES AT HER BEFORE LEAVING. ORORLA TROUBLELY GLARES AT DIRECTOR MYERS AS HE WALKS AWAY BUT MELLOWS OUT WHEN HE'S GONE. ORORLA THEN WALKS OVER TO HER BED, LAYS DOWN, AND BEGINS TO DRIFT OFF ASLEEP.

CUT TO: CIA BUILDING

EXT. CIA BUILDING  - NIGHT

RAWBITE AND THE OTHERS WATCH AS COSMIC WALKS OUT OF THE FACILITY AND LEAVES.

[Rawbite]

So, that's where he's got her stashed away at.

[Skiver]

Don't tell me you're planning on making a move. That place has to crawling with security.

[Rawbite]

Don't be ridiculous. They're humans, how much trouble could they possibly be. The only thing we really have to worry about is the guy that she's with. If anyone is going to give us any real trouble it's him.

[Skiver]

But that's what we have Giga Golem for, right?

[Rawbite]

That's right. I figure that he can't keep her locked away in there forever, nor will she want to be. We will make a stake here and keep an eye on them. When they move we will follow. Giga Golem, your job will be to handle the other brat. We should be more than a match for the Oqeilarian.

[Giga Golem]

Affirmative.

RAWBITE AND THE OTHERS STAY STAKED IN AN RV THAT THEY STOLE ON THE FAR BACK CORNER OF THE PARKING LOT.

CUT TO: THE NEXT DAY

EXT. SCHOOL - AFTERNOON

IZZY, SAMATHA, AND LANCE ALL LEAVE SCHOOL TOGETHER AND BEGIN TO WALK HOME.

[Samantha]

So let me get this straight. Lance was tailing this girl, got knocked out by her and it turns out that she was an alien.

[Lance]

In my defense, I thought that she wanted to meet, you-know-who.

[Samantha]

I can't even really be mad at her. You kind of had it coming, Lance.

[Lance]

It was just a misunderstanding. Besides I'm not holding any grudges.

[Samantha]

And I guess she didn't hurt you so that's good too. I just got you, people can't go around scratching the paint just yet.

[Lance]

I knew she liked me for my looks!

[Izzy]

That's right. She's being followed by some aliens that want to harvest her blood.

[Samantha]

That's insane. Who would want to do something like that?

SUDDENLY THE GROUP IS APPROACHED BY BIFF AND TWO OF HIS FRIENDS.

[Biff]

Well, well, well, look at this. If it isn't Paramore.

[Lance]

I mean, depending on who you talk to that might be a compliment.

[Izzy]

Besides, that band has 5 members.

[Biff]

What the hell are you talking about?

[Izzy]

Yeah, they have five people. I thought you'd at least be able to count, Biff.

[Biff]

You shut it, Dizzy!

[Samantha]

What do you want Biff? 

[Biff]

Samantha, why the hell are you hanging out with those two losers? Why don't you come hang with someone who can show you a good time?

[Samantha]

Are you hitting on me?

[Biff]

You know, it's actually really funny. I never really realized how much personality you had.

BIFF SAYS THIS WHILE LOOKING AT SAMANTHA'S CHEST AND SAMANTHA SCOFFS.

[Biff]

You're always dressing so geeky.

[Lance]

Let me stop you there, Biff. Me and Samantha are already together.

BIFF CHUCKLES.

[Biff]

You with her? That's a riot.

[Izzy]

Is there something that you wanted?

BIFF SCOFFS AND GETS IN IZZY'S FACE.

[Biff]

You should really learn to mind you're own business, Dizzy. No one was talking to you.

[Izzy]

She told you that she wasn't interested and you might want to back up before something bad happens to you.

[Biff]

Really? Like what? Don't think that just because you caught me off guard that one time that you're tough. It's not gonna happen again.

BIFF PUSHES IZZY. IZZY THEN GRABS BIFF, PICKS HIM UP OVER HIS HEAD AND THROWS BIFF BACK ACROSS THE GROUND ABOUT 15 FEET BACK. LANCE CHUCKLES AND THEN IZZY LOOKS AT BIFF'S FRIENDS.

[Izzy]

You two want some two?

BIFF'S FRIENDS BOTH RUSH OVER TO WHERE BIFF WAS THROWN.

[Izzy]

Let's get out of here.

[Lance]

Nice looking out, bro.

[Izzy]

Anytime.

[Samantha]

Come on, let's get out of here.

LANCE, SAMANTHA, AND IZZY LEAVE. BIFF'S FRIENDS TRY TO HELP HIM UP BUT HE SLAPS THEIR HANDS AWAY.

[Biff]

What are you idiots doing? You let them getaway?

[Friend#1]

What the hell did you expect us to do after something like that happened?

BIFF GROWLS.

[Biff]

(To himself)

You just wait, Perkins! You're gonna get what's coming to you!

CUT TO: THE CIA BUILDING

INT. CIA BUILDING - AFTERNOON

AS IZZY IS WALKING TO ORORLA'S CELL, HE WALKS PAST KATTELL'S CELL. AS THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER KATTELL SEEMS DISTRESSES AND COSMIC STOPS IN FRONT OF HER CELL.

[Agent Miles]

Hey, what're you doing?

[Cosmic]

Let me in.

[Agent Miles]

For what?

[Cosmic]

She looks like she's having a rough go. I just want to make sure that she's okay.

[Agent Miles]

Are you doing to do that for all of them?

[Cosmic]

Come on, just this one thing, please?

AGENT MILES SIGHS, ENTERS THE CODE FOR KATTELL'S CELL. COSMIC WALKS IN AND THE DOOR IS LOCKED BEHIND HIM. KATTELL LOOKS AT COSMIC WITH AN IRRITATED FACE.

[Kattell]

What do you want?

[Cosmic]

I... I just wanted to see how you were doing. You seemed... upset.

[Kattell]

I would say given the circumstances that my anger is warranted. I'm your prisoner after all.

[Cosmic]

You're not a prisoner.

[Kattell]

You say that but here I abide in this room, with humans starring at me. Haughty and proud. You said that were going to help get me out of here.

[Cosmic]

And I am. If it was up to me you'd be out of here right now. But you hurt people on your path to try and help yourself, you broke the law of the land even if you weren't aware of it and they took you in. You have to trust me.

[Kattell]

What good will my trust do me? I could be forever trusting you.

[Cosmic]

(Whispering)

I didn't want to say this but—

[Kattell]

What?

[Cosmic]

(Whispering)

This is kinda a secret but—

[Kattell]

Would you stop whispering? I can't understand what you're saying.

[Cosmic]

(Whispering, loudly)

Would you stop interrupting me? I'm trying to tell you that there's a place that you can go once I get you out of here. It's called the Big Market.

[Kattell]

Doesn't sound like someplace I would like.

[Cosmic]

It's a hot spot for aliens in this region. It's like a little city that humans don't know about.

AGENT MILES KNOCKS ON THE WINDOW.

[Agent Miles]

Hey, c'mon, times up. And why the heck are you whispering?

[Cosmic]

Uh-oh, looks like I was found out. I've gotta go but I will give you more information the next time I visit. Just hang tight okay?

[Kattell]

Okay.

COSMIC LEAVES KATTELL'S CELL AND AGENT MILES LOOKS AT HIM WITH AN INCREGULOUS FACE.

[Cosmic]

What?

[Agent Miles]

What went down in there?

[Cosmic]

Nothing, I was just trying to see if she was okay.

[Agent Miles]

When are you going to tell me the real story?

[Cosmic]

That was the real story. Let's just get to Ororla.

COSMIC AND AGENT MILES GET TO ORORLA'S CELL WHERE AGENT MILES LETS HER OUT.

[Cosmic]

So what's the game plan?

[Ororla]

I don't believe for a second that they didn't follow us here. My scent to a trained nose is impossible to elude. So the plan is fairly simple. We walk for a while to make sure that Rawbite catches the scent and then we go someplace where we can end the fight.

[Cosmic]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[Agent Miles]

Be careful out there.

[Cosmic]

Come on, it's me we're talking about.

COSMIC AND ORORLA LEAVE THE CIA BUILDING. IN THE PARKING LOT, GIGA GOLEM WAKES RAWBITE AND SKIVER WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.

[Rawbite]

Huh? What is it?

[Giga Golem]

The targets have been identified and detected.

RAWBITE LOOKS THROUGH SOME BINOCULARS TO SEE COSMIC AND ORORLA WALKING TOGETHER.

[Skiver]

There's no way. They couldn't possibly be that oblivious, could they?

[Rawbite]

I think they're baiting us.

[Skiver]

So what are we gonna do?

[Rawbite]

We're taking the bait. If they're going to make it this easy, then there's no reason why we shouldn't take advantage of the situation.

RAWBITE GETS INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF THE RV.

[Skiver]

Do you even know how to drive this thing?

[Rawbite]

It's earth tech. How hard could it be?

RAWBITE STARTS TRYING TO OPERATE THE RV BUT CAN'T GET IT WORKING.

[Rawbite]

Why isn't it working?

[Skiver]

Seems like it to me that earth tech isn't as comprehensive as you previously thought.

[Rawbite]

Shut it. Giga Golem, tail them and make sure just in case this is some kind of trick that we're not seen.

[Giga Golem]

Affirmative.

RAWBITE MOVES OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND GIGA GOLEM TAKES THE WHEEL. IT THEN BEGINS TO TAIL COSMIC AND ORORLA AS THEY WALK.

CUT TO: LATER

EXT. OPEN FIELD - AFTERNOON

COSMIC AND ORORLA ARRIVE IN A OPEN FIELD.

[Cosmic]

This should be good, with no civilians or property that can be destroyed. Are you sure that they will show?

[Ororla]

There's a reason why we took the way we did. I was being careless on purpose so that there was a chance that Rawbite would catch my scent. I'm certain that even with that much exposure he had to have gotten something, but just in case.

ORORLA TAKES OUT KNIFE AND CUTS HERSELF ON THE ARM.

[Cosmic]

That's a little extreme.

[Ororla]

But it will yield results all the same. Now, all we have to do is wait.

THERE IS SILENCE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN RAWBITE SHOUTS  FROM OFF IN THE DISTANCE.

[Rawbite]

(Off in the distance)

Are you really trying to make it that easy?!

SUDDENLY THERE IS A ROCKET THAT IS FIRED FROM THE WOODS.

[Cosmic]

Guess they were closer than we thought.

COSMIC SHOOTS AT THE ROCKET CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE WHICH CREATES A HUGE DARK SMOKE CLOUD. COSMIC AND ORORLA STAND READY WHEN SUDDENLY GIGA GOLEM FLIES THROUGH THE SMOKE, TACKLES COSMIC, LIFTS HIM TO THE AIR, AND PUNCHES HIM BACK INTO THE FOREST. COSMIC SMASHES THROUGH MULTIPLE TREES BEFORE  COMING TO A STOP AND AS HE LOOKS UP HE SEES GIGA GOLEM FLYING DOWN OUT OF THE AIR. THE GIGA GOLEM SLAMS ONTO COSMIC WITH ITS KNEE CREATING A HUGE DUST CLOUD. ORORLA WHO IS WATCHING THE EVENTS UNFOLD IS SUDDENLY ENSNARED BY AN ELECTRIFIED BOLO. THE BOLO SHOCKS ORORLA AS IT CONNECTS TO HER AND BRINGS HER TO HER KNEES. RAWBITE AND SKIVER THEN WALK OVER TO WHERE SHE IS.

[Rawbite]

Things didn't have to end up like this, but from the way you act, I suspected you preferred more shocking conclusions.

[Ororla]

Shut up!

[Rawbite]

How about I shut you up instead?

RAWBITE TRIES TO PUNCH ORORLA BUT SHE DODGES THE ATTACK. ORORLA THEN HEADBUTTS RAWBITE, JUMPS INTO THE AIR, AND KICKS HIM IN THE FACE. SKIVER FLIES AT ORORLA AND TAKES SEVERAL SWIPES AT HER. ORORLA DODGES THE ATTACKS THEN POSITIONS HERSELF IN A WAY THAT SKIVER CUTS THE BOLO OFF OF HER.

[Rawbite]

Skiver, you clod!

[Skiver]

I didn't see you doing any better!

SKIVER IS SUDDENLY PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY ORORLA. RAWBITE TRIES TO TACKLES ORORLA BUT ORORLA DOES A BACKFLIP. RAWBITE LANDS ON ORORLA'S FEET AND SHE PUSHES HIM UP INTO THE AIR WHERE HE SPINS AROUND ONCE BEFORE LANDING HARD, STOMACH FIRST ON THE GROUND.

ORORLA SEES OFF IN THE DISTANCE A SMALL LAKE AND BEGINS TO RUN TOWARDS IT.

[Rawbite]

Where do you think you're going?!

RAWBITE GETS ON ALL FOURS THEN HE AND SKIVER BEGINS TO CHASE AFTER ORORLA. BACK INTO THE FOREST, COSMIC DODGES A PUNCH FROM GIGA GOLEMTHEN UPPERCUTS IT. THE GIGA GOLEM STUMBLES BACK ACROSS THE GROUND THEN COSMIC TRIES TO SHOOT IT WITH AN ENERGY BOLT. THE GIGA GOLEM DODGES THE ATTACK, RUNS BEHIND COSMIC, AND GRABS HIM BY THE BACK OF THE NECK. GIGA GOLEM THEN FORCES COSMIC TO THE GROUND, GRINDING HIM ACROSS THE GROUND A COUPLE OF FEET BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND THROWING HIM AT A HUGE BOULDER.

[Cosmic]

Hey, tin man, you ever heard of rock and roll? Here's the rock!

COSMIC PICKS UP THE BOULDER AND THROWS IT ON TOP OF GIGA GOLEM. FOR A SECOND THERE IS NO ACTIVITY FROM GIGA GOLEM AND COSMIC LOOKS TO WHERE ORORLA IS SEEING HER FIGHTING RAWBITE AND SKIVER.

[Cosmic]

(Thinking)

Now that the robot is taken care of I need to get over there and help Ororola.

COSMIC HEARS A SOUND BEHIND HIM AND TURNS TO SEE THAT GIGA GOLEM HAS USED AN ENERGY BEAM TO BLAST THE BOULDER TO BITS. GIGA GOLEM THEN LOCKS ONTO COSMIC AND TRIES SHOOT HIM WITH AN ENERGY BEAM BUT COSMIC DODGES THE ATTACK.

[Cosmic]

If you keep that up, you're not gonna live long enough to get that heart.

GIGA GOLEM FIRES MULTIPLE ENERGY BEAMS AND COSMIC DODGES THE ATTACKS. COSMIC THEN SWOOPS DOWN, UPPERCUTS GIGA GOLEM AND IT SKIDS ON THE GROUND UNTIL IT LANDS BESIDE A BIG LOG. AS GIGA GOLEM STANDS TO ITS FEET, IT SWINGS THE LOG AROUND HITTING COSMIC WHO IS FLUNG THROUGH THE AIR AND LANDS IN THE LAKE THAT ORORLA IS MAKING HER WAY TOWARDS. ORORALA USES SOME OF THE WATER THAT WAS SPLASHED BY COSMIC TO WHIP RAWBITE IN THE CHEST. SKIVER TRIES TO SLICE ORORLA BUT SHE CATCHES HIM WITH WATER, CREATES A FIST AND USES IT TO PUNCH SKIVER INTO THE GROUND. RAWBITE TAKES OUT HIS BLASTER AND BEGINS FIRING AT ORORLA WHO CREATES A SHIELD OUT OF WATER. ORORLA THEN SLOWLY INCHES BACK TOWARD THE LAKE AND AS SHE GOES TO DIVE IN, RAWBITE CHARGES UP AN ATTACK AND FIRES AT HER. ORORLA JUMPS BACK WHILE KEEPING UP THE SHIELD AND WHEN THE ENERGY BLAST CONNECTS IT CAUSES AN EXPLOSION WHICH PUSHES HER INTO THE LAKE. RAWBITE KEEPS HIS DISTANCE FROM THE LAKE AND SEES GIGA GOLEM FLYING INTO IT.

[Rawbite]

Finish this, Giga Golem!

AS GIGA GOLEM LOOKS AROUND HE LOCATES ORORLA AND BEGINS SWIMMING TOWARDS HER WHEN COSMIC SWIMS IN FRONT OF IT AND PUNCHES GIGA GOLEM IN THE HEAD. THE GIGA GOLEM IS PUSHED BACK BY THE ATTACK THEN COSMIC TRIES TO ATTACK IT AGAIN. THE GIGA GOLEM HOWEVER USES A STUNGUN AND SHOCKS COSMIC IN THE CHEST. GIGA GOLEM THEN PUNCHES COSMIC TO THE FLOOR OF THE LAKE. ORORLA SEES THIS AND BEGINS TO ABSORB ALL THE WATER AROUND HER.

[Ororla]

(Thinking)

It has really been quite some time since I was last submerged in this much water. It will give me the power to finish this!

GIGA GOLEM BEGINS TO SWIM OVER TO WHERE ORORLA IS AND ORORLA BEGINS TO TRANSFORM INTO HER ALIEN FORM. AS GIGA GOLEM GETS CLOSER TO ORORLA, SHE STOPS IT USING THE WATER AND TAKES AWAY THE TASER. ORORLA THEN PLUNGES THE TAZER INTO GIGA GOLEM'S HEAD CAUSING HIM TO MALFUNCTION. ORORLA THEN BEGINS TO RIP APART GIGA GOLEM WITH HER BARE HANDS.

CUT TO: LAKESHORE

EXT. LAKESHORE - NOON

RAWBITE STANDS AT THE EDGE OF THE WATER WITH HIS GUN READY AS HE LOOKS INTO THE LAKE UNABLE TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

[Rawbite]

Just what the slag is going on down there. It's been too long, Giga Golem should have been able to take her out no problem.

SUDDENLY GIGA GOLEM'S HEAD IS THROWN OUT OF THE WATER AND HITS RAWBITE IN THE MOUTH. RAWBITE GRABS HIS MOUTH IN PAIN THEN LOOKS BACK TO THE WATER TO
