our jurisdiction!

Our oath is only to protect Kring.

The academy oath was to

protect the innocent.

It didn't specify only Kring.

That's a technicality.

Maybe.

But he's right.

Since our own survival

may be at stake,

I will relinquish my natural

aversion to fighting.

Fantastic!

Your first assignment!

But let's stop at my lawyer's

first and sign those contracts.

General Mayhem.

I had an unfortunate encounter

with a Kringen named Blastok.

Kringens on Earth?

This is not what we need right now.

They are the only race

with the power to stop us.

And he has others from

his planet with him.

- How many?

- At least four.

We have to accelerate our plan.

Mobilize your men.

Xanar, I've met with our field

generals. We are ready to attack.

General, that target has a

strong military presence.

We need more time to

mobilize more forces.

Sentar, you are a neophyte in the

business of world domination.

You never question a superior.

This mission cannot tolerate

any insubordination.

Search complete. Target identified.

Xanar's computer indicates

an unusual interest

in a primitive industrial facility.

What is it?

That's the oil refinery in Long

Beach. It supplies our military.

This is exactly how

the Taegons work.

First they cripple the planet's defenses

then launch their own invasion.

They'll quickly

colonize your country

then spread their tyranny

across the entire planet.

Well, you guys have to stop them.

Our people have only done it once.

But we had an army.

Not just seven of us.

Jeez, this is gonna be one

heckuva first assignment.

I'd love to go with you but I've

got a meeting with Archie Comics.

Your planet is in mortal peril.

Maybe you should focus on

that and not your comic book.

Strong Arm... May I

call you Strong Arm?

My planet's been in peril

every year of my life.

And I have bills to pay.

I really am a stranger

in a strange land.

Party's started.

Then we're just in

time to crash it.

Look! Over there!

Look out! Run!

It's gonna blow! Get out now!!

Lazer Lord. You, Roller Man

and Lightning with me!

Skylark, take the others

and help the injured!

I meant to do that.

Hey, I need help!

Hey!

You good?

- Thanks.

- I'll take care of her.

Be my guest. I got enough

Taegons to keep me busy.

I'm taking you back to the pod.

Help!

Oh my... thank you!

How did you do that?!

Well thank you, who

or whatever you are.

You're not going to believe this!

Help! We're trapped!

Ooooooh!!

Whoaaaaa!

Ooooooh!!

- Thank you!

- You're amazing!

- How'd you do that?!

- What's your name?!

Well I could get used to this.

Uh, how would I get in touch

with you ladies when I'm done?

This is the first real fun I've

had on this dump of a planet.

This isn't fun. This is war.

Stan the Man speaking.

Stan, your super heroes

are all over the tube!

- When you said reality super heroes...

- You were probably thinking of my show

Who Wants to be a Super Hero.

I had no idea that they're real!

This is a gold mine!

Get here as soon as you can!

I want to publish this ASAP!

Happy days are here again...

Uh-oh.

I've written enough stories to

know when I'm being followed.

Well, let's see if you fellas

can stay up with Super Stan.

There's not supposed

to be a dumpster here.

Mr. Lee. You're coming with us.

How unfortunate.

All that water and you

can't even drink it.

Their oceans are full of salt.

Too much salt.

I found a drinking fountain.

This water has a purification

factor of ninety seven.

And when it's gone, you just press

this handle and it refills itself.

Perhaps these humans are not

as backward as we thought.

I haven't been able to

contact Mr. Lee for hours.

You think something happened?

Yes. Something bad.

When we left the desert,

I wasn't sure we could trust him.

I put a tracking device on his car.

I'll find him.

I'm having second thoughts

about this super hero thing.

C'mon, you like the name

Mr. Lee gave you.

Yeah, but I don't like fighting.

That's all we did growing up.

Remember the orphanage?

I hated those fights.

But we made a great team.

Hey.

And now, we'll be doing good stuff.

People are gonna like us.

Just promise you won't leave me.

Never. You're the

only family I've got.

Where are you two going?

We're heroes and everyone

wants to know who we are,

so we're going out and tell them.

You heard Mr. Lee. We need to

keep our real identities a secret.

- You're not my boss.

- You'll do what I say.

If you want people to

like you, start with me.

Hey, all our lives we

were two bit thieves.

Now that people like us,

we're gonna enjoy it.

Inside!

And put this back.

Oops. Sorry.

You did that on purpose.

We exist to protect this planet

from hostile alien invasions.

And I will do anything in my

power to accomplish that.

I told you I thought they

were comic book fans.

I dropped them off in Hollywood

where they fit right in.

Mr. Lee, I'm going to step

out for a few moments.

When I come back, I suggest

you start telling the truth.

Otherwise you'll find yourself

screaming like one of your

comic book characters.

This isn't good.

Hey, sister.

Can you spare some change?

Change?

Sorry, this is the

only outfit I've got.

And I don't think you'd

look very good in it.

Were you here when

this car arrived?

Yeah.

Scary stuff, all those dudes

in black grabbin' the old guy.

Dudes?

Nevcal.

I recognize them from the Iraq War.

They got a big secret covert

operation out in the Nevada desert.

So, Stan.

Are you ready to tell

me about those aliens?

I told you I never met any aliens.

Well we have.

We even have some

of their technology.

Like this ball.

We also have a machine that

extracts people's memories.

Really?

Is it, um, painful?

No, absolutely not.

But it could kill you.

I've just made alien contact.

Put everyone on stage five alert.

Will you please tell the court

how you know Blastok?

Blastok was my best

friend at the academy.

He said his professor had gambling

debts and wanted Blastok to pay them.

And if he wouldn't, the professor

was going to fail him.

That night the professor was

brutally attacked and killed.

What Blastok didn't know was

that I was out that night

and I saw him in the shadows.

He's wrong!

I was never there!

Hey.

Huh?

Oh, sorry.

I was just thinking about

something. You find Mr. Lee?

He's been taken to some secret

military location called Nevcal.

They'll force him to

reveal our location.

Then we'd better find him fast.

Yuka just located Xanar by

triangulating his cell.

He's in a mountain hollow

humans call a cave.

If we don't stop this lizard

we'll all be Taegon slaves.

But if we don't get to Mr. Lee soon we're

gonna be prisoners of their military.

We'll have to split up.

I'll take Lazer Lord and go.

No.

What? Why not?

You're jealous.

Just because he saved me.

That's ridiculous.

I'm taking Lazer Lord

because I don't trust him.

- You don't trust any of them.

- He's the worst.
