CUT TO: IZZY'S ROOM

EXT. IZZY'S ROOM- EARLY MORNING

IZZY IS WOKEN UP BY PEACE WHO SHAKES HIM UNTIL HE WAKES UP.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

What?! What is it?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

I wanna talk to you.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

It's a little early don't you think?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

What happened when you left?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

What do you mean?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

I told you that those men followed me in the park. You took the tracker and then left. Where did you go what happened?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

Nothing really. They just wanted to ask me some questions.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

You weren't in any kind of trouble were you?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

No, but if I was I would have been able to handle it.

PEACE IS SILENT FOR A SECOND.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Let's train this afternoon. I have a few more techniques that I need to show you.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

Are you sure? I feel pretty strong.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Why's that?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

I dunno. I took down that giant robot. You and me handled Channeler. I got the C.I.A. on our side. I guess the word that I was looking for was successful. I'm getting a lot of stuff done.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Real trouble hasn't come your way. Not yet.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

What do you mean?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

If Apocalypse landed on the planet right now, you'd stand no chance.

IZZY SITS UP AND LOOKS AT PEACE.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

I'm only telling you the truth. Don't ever get to cocky to train.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

Hey Peace.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Yeah?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

You mind if we spar tomorrow?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Huh? Why do you want to do that?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

You're as strong as Apocalypse right? If I can beat you I stand a chance right?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

You have a point there. But if I fight you like I would fight him it's going to hurt.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

Fine.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Tonight then.

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

Okay.

IZZY LAYS DOWN AND GOES BACK TO SLEEP. HIS ALARM CLOCK THEN BEGINS TO RING AND IT WAKES IZZY BACK UP.

[Izzy]

Damn it.

CUT TO: ANDROMEDA II

EXT. PALACE OF THE CONQUERS- NIGHT

STRIFE WALKS INTO APOCALYPSE'S ROOM AND CATCHES HIM AND QUEEN COSMIC IN BED TOGETHER.

[Strife]

Well aren't you two just inseparable? Well that is unless you're not screwing any of your various concubines.

[Apocalypse]

Killing you isn't even fun anymore. What do you want?

[Strife]

Me and Mercy have just taken over the last of Peace's planets. She'll be weaker now. Just wanted to let you know and Channeler's bound to have lost. He hasn't contacted us and I'm sure he knows how to immobilize us.

[Apocalypse]

There is another cosmic being on earth, she most likely had some help.

[Strife]

How is that possible? The only cosmic crystals are found in this universe.

[Apocalypse]

I don't know and I don't care.

[Queen Cosmic]

Babe, how do you plan on bringing her back? I haven't felt her touch in a long time.

[Strife]

What's she talking about? Peace is Devastation's girl. Oh, you guys were screwing her behind Devastation's back, talk about back stabbers.

[Apocalypse]

Who cares about his feelings? I am the most powerful being in the universe, he'll not temp me or he will be dealt with.

[Strife]

Oh sure. Screw a guy's girl, say his feelings mean nothing to you and then kill him. You really are a ruthless ruler.

[Apocalypse]

Send an alien after her.

[Strife]

An alien?

[Apocalypse]

Something that will have enough since to come back if it captures her.

[Strife]

I know just the one. How about a Nadan?

[Apocalypse]

I don't care. Just get the job done.

STRIFE FLIES OUT OF THE ROOM AND THEN TO THE ANIMAL ENCLOSURE. HE GOES TO THE NADAN ENCLOSURE AND THEN LOOKS AT IT.

[Strife]

Hey you in the cage, I'm going to need a favor of you.

THE NADAN GROWLS AT HIM AND THEN STRIFE SHOCKS IT WITH A SMALL BOLT OF COSMIC ENERGY.

[Strife]

Look here you stupid cat, it's not my fault your race was hunted near extinction. Maybe if you weren't such ass holes you'd still be alive.

THE NADAN GROWLS AGAIN AND STRIFE SHOCKS IT.

[Strife]

Bad kitty.

STRIFE OPEN THE CAGE AND THE NADAN TRIES TO ATTACK HIM BUT STRIFE CATCHES IT BY THE THROAT AND BEGINS TO CHOKE IT. STRIFE THEN CARRIES IT TO THE CAPSULE AREA AND STUFFS IT INTO A CAPSULE WHILE IT'S STILL SQUIRMING. THE TECHNICIAN THERE THEN TURNS THE DIAL TO EARTH.

[Strife]

Now be a good kitty and find a way to get your master back to here. If you don't well then don't come back at all.

THE CAPSULE LAUNCHES AND THEN STRIFE LOOKS AT THE TECHNICIAN.

[Strife]

Ha, ha nerd.

THE TECHNICIAN LOOKS AT STRIFE WITH AN ANGRY FACE AND STRIFE MOTIONS THAT HE IS GOING TO PUNCH HIM. THE TECHNICIAN THEN FLINCHES.

[Strife]

Ha two for flinching!

STRIFE PUNCHES THE TECHNICIAN IN THE GUT THEN UPPERCUTS HIM BACK THROUGH THE AIR.

[Strife]

Ha, ha everybody knows that you don't flinch.

STRIFE FLIES BACK TO HIS QUARTERS. IN HIS ROOM TWO GIRLS LAY IN HIS BED. STRIFE THEN POWERS DOWN OUT OF HIS COSMIC ARMOR AND SMILES WHILE HE LOOKS AT THEM.

[Strife]

Ladies, you shouldn't have.

CUT TO: EARTH

EXT. SCHOOL- AFTERNOON

IZZY IS THE FIRST ONE OUT OF CLASS WHEN THE FINAL BELL RINGS AND THEN HE GOES TO HIS LOCKER. AS HE CLOSES HIS LOCKER LANCE COMES DOWN THE HALLWAY AND THEN MEETS HIM THERE.

[Lance]

What's up?

[Izzy]

Yo.

[Lance]

You coming to the museum?

[Izzy]

No not today. I'm kind of doing some family stuff with Angel.

[Lance]

Mind if I tag along?

[Izzy]

You can't stand up Samantha. That's not cool.

[Lance]

Well what does she have for me anyway? I 'm trying to fulfill my lifelong dream of getting into a relationship. How am I supposed to do that when I'm in the friend zone with every girl I meet?

[Izzy]

Maybe you should stop trying so hard.

[Lance]

That's a hard thing to do when you don't know what to do.

[Izzy]

Well don't hit on every girl that you meet.

[Lance]

I guess you're right.

[Izzy]

You know I am. Well I better get going. See you tomorrow.

[Lance]

Yeah see you.

IZZY AND LANCE GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. IZZY GOES OUT TO THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL AND THEN POWERS UP INTO HIS COSMIC FORM. COSMIC THEN FLIES OFF TO THE DESSERT WHERE HE AND PEACE TRAIN AT.

CUT TO: DESSERT

EXT. DESSERT- AFTERNOON

COSMIC LANDS IN THE DESSERT AND THEN WALKS OVER TO WHERE PEACE IS.

[Peace]

Are you ready?

[Cosmic]

Yes.

[Peace]

We'll start with the energy field. Imagine you're energy surrounding and protecting you.

[Cosmic]

Okay.

COSMIC GENERATES A LOT OF ENERGY AND THEN SURROUNDS HIMSELF IN AN ENERGY FIELD.

[Cosmic]
Like this?

[Peace]

Yep just like that.

PEACE WALKS BACK SOME AND THEN FIRES A BOLT OF COSMIC ENERGY AT COSMIC. HIS SHIELD HOLD OUT UNTIL THE FIFTH ATTACK FROM PEACE AND THEN BREAKS.

[Peace]

Apocalypse as well as all of the other cosmic beings like to use energy bolts. You don't want to have to heal from every injury. It's time consuming and it may lead to you thinking that you're invisible. You need to strengthen that energy field. Got it?

[Cosmic]

Got it.

[Peace]

Now we'll work on three new types of attacks. The energy slash, ray and shock waves. For the energy slash you'll need to charge up for a split second and throw your bolt in fashion like you're throwing a Frisbee.

PEACE THROWS SOME ENERGY SLASHES A BIG ROCK AND SEPARATES IT INTO FOURTHS.

[Peace]

You're turn.

COSMIC MANAGES TO THROW TWO ENERGY BEAMS AT A ROCK AND THEY EXPLODE ON IMPACT.

[Peace]

That was good for now. But you need to be able to cut threw matter with them. It'll help when you're out numbered and need to get open. Now the last one, we'll work on sonic rays.

PEACE SHOOTS A SPIRAL RAY BEAM THAT SLOWLY DESTROYS A ROCK.

[Peace]

I use this form of attack to slow enemies down. Your turn.

COSMIC SHOOTS A BEAM INSTEAD OF A RAY BEAM THAT BLOWS UP A GIANT BOLDER.

[Peace]

Needs work.

COSMIC TAKES A BREATHE AND THEN LOOKS AT PEACE.

[Peace]

What is it?

[Cosmic]

Nothing.

[Peace]

Something has to be bothering you. You've never acted like this before.

[Cosmic]

When you said that real trouble hadn't come yet it just caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting you say that. It made me feel like you didn't see anything that I was doing as significant.

[Peace]
Well that's not what I meant.

[Cosmic]

I thought so, but I guess that I was overreacting.

[Peace]

Shall we move onto the sparring session?

[Cosmic]

(Thinking)
Should I really fight her? The only reason that I brought it up was because I was upset about what she said to me. But now that think about it, I was at fault because I took it the wrong way.

[Peace]

What's the matter now?

COSMIC LOOKS AT PEACE.

[Cosmic]

Nothing. Nothing at all.

[Peace]

Well then let's get this started.

PEACE AND COSMIC SQUARE UP THEN PEACE FLIES AT COSMIC. COSMIC GUARDS AS PEACES THROWS TWO PUNCHES AT HIM. HE THEN SWINGS AND PEACE HITS AWAY HIS ARM AND HITS IN THE FACE TWICE. THEY THEN TRADE A NUMBER OF BLOWS WITH PEACE MANAGING TO DODGE, BLOCK AND HIT COSMIC WHILE COSMIC IS STOPPED AT EVERY ATTEMPT TO ATTACK PEACE. PEACE THEN GRABS COSMIC AND KNEES HIM TWICE IN THE CHEST AND ONCE IN THE FACE, SHE THEN PUNCHES HIM IN THE STOMACH AND COSMIC DODGES OUT OF THE WAY OF HER KICK AND STUMBLES AWAY FROM HER. PEACE WANTING TO KEEP DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM RUN IN AND GRABS COSMIC AROUND HIS WASTE. SHE THEN JUMPS INTO THE AIR AND DOES A FLIP SO THAT SHE LANDS ONTO OF COSMIC AND THEN ELBOWS HIM IN HIS BACK. PEACE THEN STANDS UP AND KICKS COSMIC ACROSS THE DESSERT GROUND. COSMIC THEN STANDS TO HIS FEET AND IS HIT IN THE CHEST WITH A COSMIC BOLT THAT SEND HIM FLYING BACK THROUGH THE AIR. PEACE THEN TELEPORTS ABOVE HIM AND PUNCHES HIM INTO THE GROUND. PEACE THEN DOES A BACK FLIP OFF OF COSMIC AS HE STARTS TO STAND TO HIS FEET.

[Peace]

Are you sure you're up to this?

[Cosmic]

Yeah I can take whatever you got.

COSMIC SHOOTS AT COSMIC BOLT AT PEACE AND SHE SIDE STEPS IT. COSMIC THEN FLIES OVER TO WHERE SHE IS AND TRIES TO PUNCH HER BUT SHE CATCHES HIS WRIST AND THEN THROWS HIM INTO THE GROUND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HER. PEACE THEN TRIES TO SHOOT COSMIC WITH A COSMIC BOLT BUT HE MAKES AN ENERGY FIELD THAT STOPS HER AND THEN GRABS HER BY THE ANKLE AND TRIPS HER ON HER BACK. COSMIC THEN JUMPS UP AND PUNCHES PEACE WHILE SHE ON THE GROUND IN HER STOMACH AND SHE GRABS ARM AND PUTS HIM INTO A HOLD. PEACE BREAKS HIS ARM IN THE HOLD AND THEN FLIES UP INTO THE AIR AND THROWS COSMIC DOWN THE GROUND BY HIS BROKEN ARM. WHEN COSMIC HITS THE GROUND PEACE MAKES HUGE BALL OF COSMIC ENERGY AND THEN THROWS IT AT COSMIC. COSMIC STANDS TO HIS FEET AND THEN POPS HIS ARM BACK INTO PLACE. LOOKING AT THE HUGE ENERGY BALL COMING HIS WAY COSMIC CREATES A HUGE ENERGY SLASH AND THROWS IT THROUGH THE ENERGY BALL SPLITTING IT IN TWO, THE ENERGY SLASH HITS PEACE AND THEN EXPLODES. COSMIC THEN FLIES UP THROUGH THE SMOKES AND HITS PEACE IN HER STOMACH TWICE THEN GRABS HER BY THE SHOULDERS AND THROWS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SHOOTS A BEAM AT HER THAT HIT HER SENDS HER FLYING BACK ACROSS THE GROUND. COSMIC THEN FLIES DOWN TO WHERE SHE IS AND TRIES TO PUNCH HER WHILE SHE IS ON THE GROUND BUT PEACE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND THEN JUMPS TO HER FEET. SHE AND COSMIC THEN BOTH CREATE ENERGY FIELDS AROUND BOTH OF THEIR RIGHT HANDS AND RUN AT EACH OTHER. THE Y BOTH THEN RUN AT EACH OTHER. THEY THEN BOTH START TO THROW PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER AND STRIKE EACH OTHER IN THE FACE. PEACE AND COSMIC THEN PUNCH EACH OTHER'S FIST CAUSING AN EXPLOSION THAT THROWS THEM BOTH BACK IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. PEACE AND COSMIC THEN BOTH GET TO THEIR FEET AND WALK OVER TO EACH OTHER. COSMIC THEN START TO PUNCH PEACE AND SHE PUTS HER HANDS UP AND COSMIC STOPS.

[Cosmic]

What are you doing?

[Peace]

Spar over.

[Cosmic]

Why? I was just starting to enjoy myself.

[Peace]

Well it just so happens that I was using 75% of my power. Any more and I could have killed you.

[Cosmic]

Right.

[Peace]

Well it's not late but I have to get around to the other side of the world.

[Cosmic]

For what?

[Peace]

A new band that I found is performing live and I want to hear them.

[Cosmic]

You like earth music. Your religious music is the best and on a tie to that of my own. All other music is tolerable and some is enjoyable. You mind if I use some of your clothes.

[Cosmic]

No.

[Peace]

Cool. Let's get back to the house.

PEACE AND COSMIC FLY BACK HOME TO IZZY'S HOUSE AND THEN FLY IN THROUGH HIS WINDOW. THERE COSMIC AND PEACE POWER DOWN AND IZZY LEAVES HIS ROOM WHILE PEACE CHANGES AND WHEN HE WALKS BACK IN HE NOTICES PEACE IN HIS CLOTHING AND BLUSHES.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

What?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

It's nothing.

[Peace]

(Whispering)

When people blush, that means you're nervous. What are you nervous about?

[Izzy]

(Whispering)

Nothing aren't you going to your concert?

[Peace]

(Whispering)

Oh yeah that's right. See you later!

PEACE FLIES OUT OF HER ROOM AT A HIGH SPEED AND THEN IZZY CLOSES HIS DOOR AND STARTS TO CHANGE HIS CLOTHES. THERE IS THEN A KNOCK AT HIS DOOR. IZZY OPENS THE DOOR TO SEE HIS DAD STANDING IN THE DOORWAY.

[Izzy]

Oh hey dad. What's up?

[Ken]

Hey kiddo. I have something to ask you.

[Izzy]

Okay. What is it?

[Ken]

You're feeling okay right?

[Izzy]

Yeah.

[Ken]

You're not sick?

[Izzy]

No why?

[Ken]

Sometimes I can hear in there talking. I don't know if it's too yourself or if you're talking in your sleep.

[Izzy]

Oh I, um... I keep the T.V. on when I go to bed.

[Ken]

Oh that must be what I've been hearing then.

[Izzy]

Yeah, I'll start turning it off.

[Ken]

Okay.

KEN LEAVES AND THEN IZZY LEAVES THE HOUSE. IN THE GARAGE IZZY GETS HIS DIRT BIKE AND THEN SPEEDS OFF TO THE ASTRONOMY MUSEUM.

CUT TO: ASTRONOMY MUSEUM

EXT. PARKING LOT- AFTERNOON

IZZY PARKS HIS BIKE IN THE STRONOMY PARKING LOT AND THEN RUSHES INTO THE LIBRARY. HE THEN RUNS TO DR. COOPER'S LAB AND SEES THAT HE, LANCE, AND SAMANTHA ARE ALL LEAVING.

[Samantha]

Hey Izzy. I thought that you were going to be doing something with your family.

[Izzy]

Yeah it ended early. You guys done already?

[Lance]

Yeah. We just worked on some telescopes in the lab. Next week we'll test them out. Are you coming?

[Izzy]

Yeah I'll be there.

[Lance]

Cool. We're going to the mall.

[Izzy]

Cool. I'll tag along.

[Dr. Cooper]

Izzy, would you mind hanging back for a second?

[Izzy]

Sure.

IZZY WALKS INTO DR. COOPER'S OFFICE AND DR. COOPER TURNS ON HIS ENERGY DETECTION DEVICE. HE THEN GETS THE COSMIC ENERGY READING AGAIN AND WRITES DOWN WHAT HE SEES.

[Izzy]

What is it that you wanted?

[Dr. Cooper]

Well you see something interesting happened in your absence. While you're here when ever this device is on its readings goes off the charts. But when you're not here it's a stagnant as ever.

[Izzy]

You don't think that it has something to do with me do you?

[Dr. Cooper]

Not sure, but I'll have to run some test. Whatever's making it do that has tremendous source of energy and I wanted to find out what.

[Izzy]

Well good luck with that.

IZZY LEAVES THE OFFICE AND THEN STARTS OFF TO THE MALL WITH LANCE AND SAMANTHA.

CUT TO: LATER

EXT. HIGH WAY- NIGHT

THE NADAN IN THE CAPSULE MANAGES TO GET AND CONTROL THE CAPSULE AND MANAGES TO SLOW IT DOWN SO THAT IT LANDS SMOOTHLY IN THE WOODS BESIDE A HIGHWAY. A MAN NOTICING THIS PARKS HIS CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGH WAY AND GETS OUT OF HIS CAR WITH A CAMCORDER. HE THEN STARTS INTO THE FOREST WITH HIS CAMCORDER. HE THEN HOLDS THE CAMCORDER UP TO HIS FACE AND LOOKS INTO THE LENS.

[Harold]

Hey everyone. This is Harold coming at you live and you will never believe what I just saw. Something from outer space just crash landed off into the forest beside interstate I- 25. I'm going to investigate now. This is going to be so cool.

WHEN HAROLD COMES TO THE SITE WHERE THE CAPSULE LANDED HE GETS FOOTAGE OF THE CAPSULE AND THE WRECKAGE THAT HAPPENED AS IT HIT THE GROUND AND SKID.

[Harold]

IT's even better than I thought guys we're are looking at a real life space ship of some sort.

THERE IS THEN BANGING FROM INSIDE OF THE CAPSULE HAROLD WALKS OVER TO WHERE IT IS AND GETS SOME FOOTAGE OF THE NADAN INSIDE. HE THEN PUTS THE CAMERA UP TO HIS FACE AGAIN.

[Harold]

...... Oh my God, words cannot express the amount of joy that I am feeling right now. Um from the looks of it the alien inside seems to be stuck but I have some tools in my car. I'm going to help it out.

HAROLD RUNS TO HIS CAR AND THEN GETS SOME TOOLS. HE THEN RUNS BACK TO THE CAPSULE TO SEE THAT THE NADAN HAS ESCAPED.

[Harold]

Aw man. It looks as if the alien that was inside has escaped.

HAROLD GETS SOME FOOTAGE OF THE BROKEN DOOR AND THEN PUTS THE CAMCORDER BACK ON HIM.

[Harold]

Well even though the alien escaped before I got the chance to see it, I'm just glad to say that it's okay and that it managed to get away.

SUDDENLY THERE IS A LOW GROWLING SOUND FROM BEHIND HAROLD. HE THEN TURNS TO SEE THE NADAN BEHIND HIM.

[Harold]

Well folks there it is. There's the alien and it does not look happy. I think it's about time that I've gotten out of here!

AS HAROLD TRIES TO RUN OFF THE NADAN WRESTLES HIM TO THE GROUND AND THEN KNOCKS OUT HAROLD. IT THEN DRAGS HIS BODY OVER TO THE FRONT OF THE SHIP AND STORES IT THERE. THE NADAN THEN TRANSFORMS INTO A CAT GIRL HUMANOID AND STANDS UPRIGHT. WALKING OVER TO THE CAMERA THE NADAN PICKS IT UP AND THEN BREAKS IT AGAINST THE CAPSULE.

[Kattell]

(In native language)

Now to find Peace and get the hell off this stupid planet.
