[Little boy:] Mommy, mommy, is he really here? Is Ziltoid really here?.. [Little boy's mother:] Yes he is... in fact. THERE HE IS NOW!!! Dominate, dominate, dominate... [Captain Spectacular:] As your elected representative, I, Captain Spectacular, have the distinct honour of presenting to you the intergalactic sensation... ZILTOID THE OMNISCIENT! [Ziltoid:] Yes... So the mourning comes alive, now I can fly... Go, dominate their lives, I cry, but never forget this warning: I cry out loud, show me this chosen liar. Liar, liar, liar, liar... never! [Narrator:] Humans are a strange species, equal parts good to evil, and at this time in their development they're not ready for interactions with other life forms. His appearance, and the reality that Ziltoid is from another planet, has thrown their primitive society into mass hysteria!!! He is being revered as a God... for now...

Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind) We are human beings! Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind) We are humans being! What will we find, when we all will die? [Ziltoid:] Collective, this is commander Ziltoid the omniscient reporting [Collective:] Greetings, Ziltoid...what is that strange creature?!? [Ziltoid:] Oh, this little thing! Yes... they call it a 'Poozer' [Collective:] ...From the planet Titan?? You must take it back!!! Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind) We are human beings! Calling on the earth's core (part of the mind) We are humans being! Where do we find the human soul? All the searching leads to you! (I've grown over, I roll over) I crawl over my life of honour All these children, entitled horrors... [Narrator:] Meanwhile, far across the solar system, Queen Blattaria, a war princess and the mother of the poozers, realizes one of her children has gone missing! [Blattaria:] Oh no... where is my Poozer!!!!!!??? [Narrator:] The plot thickens... (I am nowhere, I am no one... I am nowhere, I am no one) [Collective:] Commander, are you sure that the war princess does not suspect it was you who abducted her Poozer? [Ziltoid:] Oh yes, absolutely collective, indeed. You should have seen me: I was in and out like the wind! Indeed. She shall never suspect a thing!! [Collective:] We hope so, for your sake We cannot risk intergalactic war with Titan. Where is the Poozer now? [Narrator:] Up to this point, Ziltoid has had his back turned to the Poozer... but he makes a break for it. [Collective:] Quickly, Ziltoid, show us the Poozer! [Ziltoid:] Yes, of course, I've kept a very close eye on him... err... (We are all in line and we are all prepared to die) [Ziltoid:] Gadzooks! HE'S GONE!!! [Narrator:] Through the cold abyss of space, the little Poozer races home... [Ziltoid:] Collective! I'm sure that he was right here... computer! [Computer:] Commander? [Ziltoid:] Please tell me where the Poozer is now... [Computer:] Current location of the Poozer: directly through the wormhole. [Ziltoid:] Hmmmm... well... poop. [Narrator:] Through the wormhole, the Poozer has arrived back on Titan. He reports to his mother, the war princess, what he has seen, and that it was Ziltoid who had abducted him! Now the War Princess is a beautiful, vain, and rather grumpy creature. She lusts for power, and though she is the mother of countless Poozers, her vanity has made her rather revolted by these "children" of hers. She is devious; and knows that she can utilize their blind love and devotion to create a formidable army! We see now her missing Poozer as it enters her chambers.

[Blattaria:] My child, where have you been? I've been worried sick about you... [Poozer meeps] [Blattaria:] You were taken? … by Ziltoid? Why would HE take you to EARTH? [Poozer meeps] [Blattaria:] So you're saying, his home planet is dying? … And he needs to find a suitable place to colonize? [Poozer meeps] [Blattaria:] I'm still confused... why Earth? What is there? What is this 'coffee' you speak of? [Poozer meeps] [Blattaria:] … you don't say! My love, gather your brothers! Oh, little ones... the one light, the one we share!

[Blattaria:] FOR I'M YOUR QUEEN!!!

If the seeds that come for me are protecting your lie Why fight? Just come towards with forces, do it now! I crawl around ivory thrones and your wandering eye, your wandering eye, your wandering eye, your... Oh, sing it loud! Those wandering eyes are so weak, so sing it: Oh, sing it loud! Ah! Oh, no, you've gone away! [Ziltoid:] FETID HUMAN, RELEASE ME! [Captain Spectacular:] Not so fast... we need to get a few things clear, we're going to need you to sign a truce, this is our lawyer [Lawyer:] Hello Ziltoid, this contract between us: -You agree to join forces with the humans (Yes!) -You agree to not turn against the humans (Yes!) -At the end of the day, forthwith and without prejudice (Yes!) -You relinquish your command over to Captain Spectacular (OK!) -Very good, sign here...here...and here. [Ziltoid:] OKAY!! Thank you very much... do you mind if I use the bathroom for a moment? [Captain Spectacular:] Not at all.. [Ziltoid:] Yes, out in a jiffy! [Ziltoid:] Silly humans, they free me, yet they do not know the depth of my evil. Yes, I have something in mind for them, and the war princess [Narrator:] Captain Spectacular frees Ziltoid...and an uneasy truce is born. The battle's about to begin, the war about to commence Preparations for the alliance are now underway. Ziltoid and the human army get their collective poop in a great big shiny group. The first order of business: beat that war princess before she begins stage three of her attack! Ziltoid knows of something even more powerful! Something so crazy and dangerous, no mere mortal dare utter the name of aloud unless they want their head to explode into tiny bulbous shards. But for the sake of your listening pleasure and today's story, we're just going to call it by the human translation: Herman The Planet Smasher [Captain Spectacular:] Now, don't pull any fast ones, Ziltoid, you need to get that weapon of yours down here. There's a lot riding on this trust I've got in you. Don't let me down! [Ziltoid:] Aye Aye captain poopypants, don't worry I shan't let you down, I'm on your side! [Narrator:] Ziltoid is keeping to himself that he's only too aware of the great danger of dealing with the Planet Smasher... and just what it might bring...

I know! Raised before the sky bleeds For we are, we are light! I wallow... but I'm not sorry at all! [Narrator:] The Planet Smasher... A creature with a voice so powerful, one word can destroy galaxies, universes! One utterance of the most powerful sonic force of anything, anywhere can defeat Blattaria! Way out in space and far from home. Who's the maker? Who's the man? Who's the maker? Who's the man? It's your way out... Raise before the night bleeds A man will come and be flown away. Come forth as the time needs Free in the universe [Narrator:] Night, the infinite darkness. The death of a star. These things will all come to pass unless Ziltoid and the humans are victorious. We're on our way... follow! All gone astray? We fly! [Narrator:] Legend has spoken of the Planet Smasher in hushed tones... The size of 50 elephants, a huge gaping maw baring rows of dagger-like teeth! Claws that could tear a human in half with a single, effortless swipe! Eyes that burn like a hellish furnace!! Get a hold of yourselves, humans... And prepare. He. is. COMING! Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth... Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth... Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth... Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth... [Narrator:] On the horizon, a looming shadow begins to appear.

Coming to Earth, coming to Earth, coming to Earth... [Narrator:] HE HAS ARRIVED! [Children:] He's so cute! Haha! [Ziltoid:] No, no, no... He's terrifying! [Children:] No, no, no... Just look at him! … He's so FUZZY! [Ziltoid:] No, seriously, don't provoke him! [Narrator:] Well, as it turns out, the Planet Smasher is just a little guy... Furry, and about the size of a football. And with the most adorable little toes... you could just eat them up! [Narrator:] The stage is set... The immensely powerful, though admittedly cute as a button Planet Smasher is wielded carefully by the humans. Ziltoid leads the army, and it has been decided that he will be given the weapon at the right moment. Ziltoid is the only one capable of summoning the Smasher's mighty roar. But is even he strong enough?

[Ziltoid:] Blattaria! War princess! I am here with my new best friends: the human beings who are now my army! And together, we shall defeat you! Captain Spectacular! [Captain Spectacular:] Right here, Ziltoid! [Ziltoid:] Yes. Please, provide me with the weapon. (Don't do it captain, don't do it!) [Ziltoid:] Ha! Fooled you, poopypants! [Captain Spectacular:] What?! But- butbutbut Ziltoid! [Ziltoid:] Yes. I have duped the humans into thinking I am on their side! [Captain Spectacular:] Ziltoid, we had a deal! You signed a contract! [Ziltoid:] Yes, I signed it in pencil. With my left hand. I mean, you’re just so dumb, it- it hurts! [Captain Spectacular:] Ziltoid, how could you do this? [Ziltoid:] Oh please, do you actually think that there’s anything in common between me and you, human? [Captain Spectacular:] There’s more you have in common with humans than you realize. Think back to your childhood! You must know how I know! [Ziltoid:] What are you blathering about? [Captain Spectacular:] Ziltoid, search your memories. Don’t I look familiar to you? [Ziltoid:] Just tell me! [Captain Spectacular:] We have the same mother! [Ziltoid:] Woah!! [Narrator:] Turns out, Captain Spectacular… is Ziltoid’s half-brother! [Ziltoid:] Woah! [Blattaria:] Will you losers get on with it?! What are you talking about over there? [Captain Spectacular:] I have something here from our mother! And she wanted you to have it. This is the universe’s ultimate coffee bean! [Ziltoid:] Woah! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme! [Captain Spectacular:] Ziltoid, you were always destined to be humanity’s last hope! Now end this! [Ziltoid:] Wow, this is so heavy, and unbelievably cheesy! Oh well, Planet Smasher, I command the attack! [burping] Woah, what the heck! [Blattaria:] Ha ha ha! Nice weapon! [Ziltoid:] Oh crap! [Blattaria:] Ziltoid, I see you have a soft spot. Well, let me show you how we play in my world! Captain Spectacular, you die!! [Captain Spectacular:] Ayeayeayeayeayeayeaya [Ziltoid:] No!! [Narrator:] All… seemed to be lost. [Ziltoid:] My brother! [Narrator:] What Ziltoid failed to realize is- the Planet Smasher needed his own reasons to summon his ungodly power! [Ziltoid:] Nooo! [Narrator:] The pain of his brother dying pierces his withered heart! [Ziltoid:] Ugh, so lame! [Narrator:] As Ziltoid kneels beside his fallen brother, as if in a dream, the song they’d sing together as children is all of a sudden on his lips… [Ziltoid:] Memories… all alone with the memories… [Planet Smasher roars] [Narrator:] The War Princess wasn’t about to go quietly. She grabbed out, got a hold of Ziltoid, and in that moment they were both… gone! Turns out the thing the Planet Smasher hated the most… was musicals! Who saw that coming?! [Earthling 1:] They’re gone! We’re free! We’re free!! Captain Spectacular saved us! [Earthling 2:] And so did Ziltoid! [Earthlings:] Hip hip hooray! [Narrator:] So Ziltoid, the War Princess, and the Poozers are jettisoned through that hairy wormhole. The Planet Smasher, off to wherever Planet Smashers go. The musicals worked! The humans, now left alone amongst themselves to celebrate, wallowing in the sacrifice of Captain Spectacular, yet giddy in the joy of their survival, awash with the promise of their brand new world, voices raised together in celebratory blissful song. The earth sang as one- believe it, or not.

How many times must we live through this dimension Only to mourn many lives we have lost To be someone is our only directive for the way How many souls must we fall into the depths of our creation? We're willing again! Fallen brother, fallen for the world Universal minds call you, universal mind... All men, all women, and all who've gone! So many people will try to live Only those who surrender begin to live! Even through death, even through love Even through honesty and togetherness! Look 'em straight in the eye! Look them straight in the 'I know why' How many times must we live through this dimension Only to mourn many lives we have lost To be someone is our only directive for the way I know why! Universal minds call you, universal mind... Universal minds call you, universal mind... All men, all women, and all who've gone! We've gone! We've gone! We've gone! We've gone! [Narrator:] Thus ends our story. This is the end... Or... is it? Far from the earth in a distant nebula, we now find a lone moon... Barren... Isolated... Through the wormhole Ziltoid has awoken, seemingly alone on this trance moon made of bones and dust Only he is not alone... The only other thing on that planet is the war princess, and one solitary bag... of coffee. … To be continued.
