Spark: A Space Tail Page #4

How do we close the slick

before it swallows the planet?

Follow me here.

If what Chunk is working on manages

to do what it's supposed to do...

Open a slick.

Then theoretically...

Theoretically, it should

be able to close one.

Theoretically.

Not bad.

Not bad for insanity!

My speeders take on Zhong's armada.

The battleship takes out the warship.

In case you haven't noticed,

our ships are junk!

We're outnumbered, outgunned.

It's impossible.

You're the captain of the Royal Guard.

You're a hero.

And you will lead your men

back through the wormhole,

and, together, we will defeat Zhong.

Now, what would make it possible?

A backup battalion, reinforcements.

Vix, make sure everything keeps

moving ahead. I'll be right back.

He reminds me of his father.

He has the same fire in his belly.

Same determination.

Found it!

What did he do now?

Yeah

Stabilizer.

Conductor.

Nothing's gonna stop me

- Sandwich.

- Ooh.

- Sandwich.

- Uh-uh.

I'm on a diet anyway.

We'll be heroes tonight

Chunk, how we doing?

Just a few more things!

I'm a... I'm almost there.

He's been gone a while.

Shh. Listen.

Run for your lives!

They're coming!

Uh...

Wait! Stand your ground. Look!

Aaah!

It's okay.

They're on our side.

Wa... But how?

They're the same bugs as from

back home, only mutated.

They're hungry, that's all.

We promised them all the bananas

they could eat if they helped us.

"We"?

Genius.

No. You're the genius.

What's happening with the...

Oh! Right!

Kraken Slickonator standing by.

The reverse slick window

should be attracted

to whatever slick Zhong

is opening on the other side,

so we should end up where we want to be.

Or somewhere entirely different.

I'm hoping for the first option.

People of Bana!

My friends and I have crossed

the universe only to find you.

This was no accident.

It was fate that brought

us here, to this place.

You are the citizens

of a Bana that once was,

a Bana that will be again.

Zhong laid waste to our planet,

but together, we're taking it back!

Can we go to the bathroom first?

Yes!

Everyone stand back!

And a-now.

Aaah, no!

Aw!

Gaah!

Why won't you work?

Why? Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why?

Oh!

Look at it!

It's working!

Oh, yes!

Yes! That's it!

Come on.

Hold together, baby.

Yeah!

- You did it!

- All right!

- Oh. Oh!

- Okay. Okay.

Oh. And, uh, this.

How did you...

He's the Chunkinator, that's how.

Outstanding, my boy!

I always knew you'd do great things.

You know, other than eating.

Spark, there's something else.

I, uh... I found someone in the trash.

She was in need of a little TLC...

tender, loving Chunk.

Bananny!

It's so good to see you, Spark!

It's okay.

Her voice is a little different,

but, otherwise,

she's the same old Bananny.

Oh. Except she's weaponized.

Let's kick some asteroid.

Cool!

Kraken in position.

Universe be mine.

Your Exquisite Holy Moronicus, sir?

The reverse end of a second

slick is opening, and, uh,

something is coming through.

What are you talking about?

What slick?

Did you make another slick?

Who made another slick?

Whoa! Oh, oh, ow!

Look out!

Uh-oh!

Okay. All clear.

Hey, Zhong!

You miss me?

You! But you're dead!

I saw you go through the kraken slick.

I'm back!

And I brought some friends.

You remember the Captain

and the Royal Guard?

You sent them through

the slick along with my dad.

Your rule is over, Zhong!

What are those?

All right, you primates,

we've been waiting 13 years for this!

It's time Zhong found out what happens

when you mess with the Royal Guard!

Let's light that gorilla ship up. Fire!

Attack! Attack!

Attack!

Firing forward blasters.

You get your sorry hide onto

that battleship and sabotage it!

Do you understand, you

makeup-painted refrigerator?

Go!

Koko do everything.

Yah!

Here they come.

Spark, I-I don't do well under pressure.

Aren't there a million more capable,

less afraid of laser fire,

- more adept at...

- Chunk!

You're the only one

who can do this. Focus.

Right. Right.

Focus. Right.

- Chunk!

- What?

- You're the Chunkinator.

- I-I'm the Chunkinator.

I'm... I'm the Chunkina...

Um, is that a problem?

She's headed to the battleship.

Vix, you've got to stop her.

Chunk, close that slick.

I'm off to save my mom!

See you on the other side!

What did he mean by that?

What, uh... Other side of what?

Okay. Uh, right.

All right. Figuring out how

to reverse the polaron charge

can't be any harder than eating

that space rat sundae last night.

I'm the Chunkinator.

I'm the Chunkinator.

I'm... Aaah!

Okay. It's much harder.

Spark!

I thought you were...

I had to come back to save my mom.

What?

How did you know?

- All these years. Why didn't you tell me?

- I couldn't.

If Zhong knew about you,

he would have torn what little's

left of Bana apart to find you.

I had to at least try and

stop him from doing more harm

than he already had.

But in the stories Bananny told me,

why didn't she say

who my parents really were?

Because I programmed her not to.

For your own protection.

Oh, Spark!

The only thing that's kept me going

is the hope of being with you again.

I love you, Spark, more than anything.

Well, look what we have here.

- Oh!

- Oh!

- Oh, no, you don't!

- Huh?

Yah!

A mother-son reunion.

How sweet.

So, let me get this straight.

Your Dumpster-diving child here,

together with a band

of old has-beens and some bugs,

take on my army.

Was that the idea?

Oh, priceless.

You can't make that stuff up.

You really can't.

Enjoy the front-row seats

to your own failure.

Ooh!

All systems, damage report.

Engineering? Ted?

Huh?

The royal blundership isn't

looking so good now, is it?

You and your father

are so very much alike.

Both of you fail so completely.

Speaking of my brother,

why didn't he come through

the slick with the rest of you?

Finally!

Someone has the decency to stay dead!

Are the photon cannons ready?

Photon cannons ready in T-minus 30.

Everybody get ready for some fireworks.

Don't worry, Mom.

Huh?

Koko quit this lousy job.

Fire photons!

What's happening?

What's going on?

- Huh?

- Ooh.

Get him!

Cue the milk and cookies.

Cue the milk and cookies.

So, the isolating starter hit

the pulsing harness, causing the...

Just give it here, man.

Royal Guard!

I knew that would come

in handy for something.

- Amazing!

- Who are you?

George, sir.

Curious?

What is that?

Zhong's warship.

Get us alongside and ready

the starboard torpedo bay.

Did somebody order milk and cookies?

Oh! Aaah!

Aaah! To the escape pods!

Why don't we have escape pods?

You wanted the master bathroom.

Ah...

- Chunk!

- Vix!

Floyd!

Hurry!

Ah! Engaging.

Uh...

Oh! Why? Why?

- Use your head!

- What?

Your head!

Bang it with your head.

More, more! Keep going!

Oh! That's gonna hurt.

Stop! Please.

You wouldn't leave your uncle behind?

Your very own flesh and blood?

For what you did to my father

and what you did to all of Bana?
