INT. THE ZONE - DAY

Stuart runs down the hall and bangs on the door.

STUART
Khloe! Grace! Open the door! We gotta get out of here before-

Luis opens the door.

STUART
Luis! How's the Mrs?

LUIS
Your shenanigans won't work this time. Khloe and Grace work for me.

Khloe and Grace walk out wearing the goggles but now the eyeholes are red.

STUART
Oh my-

Grace speeds onto Stuart. Khloe prepares her laser hands. The elevator door bust open. We see Bob and Helen posing.

HELEN
You didn't have to punch it open.

LUIS
Get them!

Khloe and Grace charge towards Bob and Helen. Bob punches Grace in the face. Helen stretches and kicks Khloe in the jaw. Grace speeds around and Bob catches her, he kicks her gut and throws her over to Helen who wraps her up with her arm. Grace is struggling to speed out but can't.

HELEN
Some help?

Bob pushes Khloe over and runs over to Helen. He pulls off the glasses from Grace. Grace is unconscious and they throw her on the ground. Khloe zaps Bob multiple times. Khloe charges up her laser hands.

HELEN
Try me.

Khloe zaps at Helen but it reflects off her and back to Khloe. Khloe's glasses pop off and she becomes unconscious.

LUIS
I'm tired of this. You kids don't understand that I'm doing something for the greater good.

HELEN
By greater good you mean yourself.

LUIS
I told you that we're stopping aliens.

HELEN
Yeah, and you're gonna take all the credit. I'm not all in for getting attention for doing good. But a little appreciation doesn't hurt. Taking that away from people who deserve it...that's just cruel.

LUIS
Oh, cry! Go and run. I'll just get 5 more idiotic children that can do the job for me by the time the aliens reach us.

The alarm goes off with flashing red lights everywhere.

SPEAKER VOICE
Large vehicles approaching the upper atmosphere.Large vehicles approaching the upper atmosphere. Large vehicles approaching the upper atmosphere.

HELEN
Looks like those Aliens are coming sooner than you thought.

LUIS
What? They're off Schedule!

HELEN
At least some people are on time.

The POLICE come down the elevator.

OFFICER 1
Where's the door?

OFFICER 2
I don't know.

HELEN
There he is, boys.

LUIS
No! It's the kids! They set me up!

They grab him and bring him up the elevator. Luis screams. They go up. Bob looks at Helen surprisingly.

HELEN
Sometimes you gotta leave things to the authorities.

Stuart, Grace, and Khloe all get up.

GRACE
What happened?

STUART
Did we lose?

HELEN
No...But we haven't won yet.

Helen takes a look out the window as many large spaceships are slowly floating down.
